B4 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/94, MARCH 4, 1994 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 2. THE MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO VALLEY AND SHORELINE REGENERATION PROJECT 1992 - 1996 - Sylvan Avenue Area, Lake Ontario Waterfront, City of Scarborough KEY ISSUE Acquisition of property interests in the vicinity of the Sylvan Avenue Shoreline Management Works. Res. #E3/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Richard O'Brien Brian Harrison THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT staff be authorized to proceed with the acquisition of all necessary property interests required to facilitate the completion of shoreline management works along the Lake Ontario Waterfront in the vicinity of Sylvan Avenue, in the City of Scarborough, under the provisions of the Expropriations Act, R.S.O. 1990 and the Conservation Authorities Act, R.S.O. 1990; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take all necessary action, including the obtaining of any necessary approvals and the execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Authority has for the past several years, been carrying on a progressive program of erosion control and shoreline protection works along the Lake Ontario Shoreline in various areas of the City of Scarborough. The 1994 budget of the Authority includes provision for the carrying out of additional construction in the vicinity of Sylvan Avenue, where earlier works were carried out. While the Authority has been generally successful in obtaining the owners cooperation to carry out the various works across private lands, with title being deeded to the Authority for nominal consideration, there are three private properties in the Sylvan area where lack of property agreements could potentially delay completion of the required works during 1994. While intermittent negotiations are still proceeding with the remaining owners required to allow the shoreline works in this area to be completed, it is now deemed advisable to be in a position to proceed under the provisions of the Expropriations Act R.S.O. 1990 and the Conservation Authorities Act R.S.O. 1990, to ensure that all lands are available for construction of the shoreline works in this area. The lands required for completion of these works are situate within the Authority's Master Plan of Acquisition. A plan was available for review at the meeting.

Res. #E9/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Richard O'Brien Brian Harrison THAT the report dated February 24, 1994, on progress to date with respect to the disposal of lands at the corner of Jane and Steeles be received. CARRIED MARCH 4, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/94 B7 SECTION I1 - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 6. DISPOSAL OF SURPLUS LANDS (CONTD.) -Jane and Steeles BACKGROUND As the members are aware, the Authority has entered into an agreement with 970545 Ontario Limited, represented by Mr. Nick DiLorenzo, to develop a senior citizens residence and community and cultural centre on the Authority lands at the northeast corner of Jane and Steeles. The agreement requires that the Authority work with the proponent to achieve the necessary re- zoning and have the lands removed from the Parkway Belt designation. As such, the Authority is in effect, the applicant for purposes of site plan approval. The staff has advised the Executive Committee on an ongoing basis of our progress in concluding our agreement. Vaughan Council, at a public hearing on October 4, 1993, approved Official Plan Amendment Application OP.17.93. A hearing before the Joint Board under the provisions of the Consolidated Hearings Act of Ontario, has been requested 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. It is anticipated that a hearing date during April will be scheduled shortly. The proposed development has recently proceeded to the Site Plan stage and the configuration of the development has been altered from the drawing earlier presented to the members. The concept is still within the provisions set by the Authority in approving the sale, and in fact, is situated in a more favourable orientation to Black Creek Pioneer Village. A copy of the current Site Plan being submitted to the City of Vaughan and a copy of the Site Plan as earlier presented was distributed with the agenda. 7. THE MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO VALLEY AND SHORELINE REGENERATION PROJECT 1992 -1996 - Sylvan Avenue Erosion Control Study, Consultant Selection, Lake Ontario Waterfront, City of Scarborough KEY ISSUE To retain the services of consultants to complete the final design for the Sylvan Avenue Erosion Control Project as input to the Environmental Study Report required under the Class Environmental Assessment For Water Management Structures. B8 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/94, MARCH 4, 1994 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 7. THE MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO VALLEY AND SHORELINE REGENERATION PROJECT 1992 -1996 (CONTD.) - Sylvan Avenue Erosion Control Study, Consultant Selection, Lake Ontario Waterfront, City of Scarborough Res. #E10/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Richard O'Brien Brian Harrison THAT the consulting firm of F. J. Reinders and Associates be retained in the Sylvan Avenue Erosion Control Study at a total cost of $37,644. in accordance with the proposal and study schedule submitted to the Authority, under the "Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Valley and Shoreline Regeneration Project 1992 - 1996 ". CARRIED BACKGROUND The Sylvan Avenue sector is located along the Scarborough Bluffs and comprises approximately one kilometre of shoreline extending from the west end of the existing South Marine Drive shoreline protection westerly to the foot of Bellamy Ravine. A total of 39 residential dwellings have rear yards that back onto the bluffs. The houses vary in distance from the edge of bluff from 30 metres to 100 metres with an average distance being 60 metres. The erosion rate has been documented as being an average 0.5 metres per year with some areas experiencing up to 1.4 metres per year. As part of the Class Environmental Assessment process, alternative shoreline protection designs were developed, and a public meeting was held in 1990 to review the recommended alternative. However, due to various issues, including funding, staff never finalized the Environmental Study Report for submission to the Ministry of the Environment and Energy. Over the past three years, this project has ranked below the line to be eligible for provincial funding. In March of 1993, the Minister of the Environment and Energy approved a new ACAO Class Environmental Assessment document for Remedial Flood and Erosion Control Projects. Throughout 1993, bluff erosion was more pronounced as a result of the near record high lake level conditions during the first half of the year. Because the beach was submerged along most of the Sylvan sector, wave action actively undercut the toe of bluff, causing accelerated erosion of the upper bluff in several areas. Bluff erosion continued during the latter months of 1993 and into this year. Concerned property owners are requesting action_be taken to enable this project to proceed. There is an urgency to complete the Environmental Study Report and obtain all approvals by June of this year so that construction can proceed by early summer. A Steering Committee has been set up with representatives of the Authority and the Sylvan Avenue residents. To date, two meetings have been held. Minutes from these meetings were sent to Dr. Bob Frankford, MPP; Metro Councillor Brian Ashton and Scarborough Councillor Fred Johnson to keep them informed of the progress. MARCH 4, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/94 B9 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 7. THE MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO VALLEY AND SHORELINE REGENERATION PROJECT 1992 -1996 (CONTD.) - Sylvan Avenue Erosion Control Study, Consultant Selection, Lake Ontario Waterfront, City of Scarborough At the Authority Meeting #5/93, Resolution #A125/93 was adopted: "THAT staff be directed to complete the necessary studies and approva /s for the Sylvan Avenue Erosion Control Project, City of Scarborough, under the "Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Valley and Shoreline Regeneration Project 1992 -1996" at a cost of up to $75,000, subject to the availability of funding. Terms of Reference for the study include a review of the coastal and environmental implications of the recommended remedial works as they relate to an overall Shoreline Management Plan of the Scarborough Bluffs. The study will address issues raised by the Waterfront Trust such as cumulative impacts, lakefilling and impacts on the aquatic environment, as well as meet requirements of the new ACAO Class Environmental Assessment Process.

FINANCIAL DETAILS A budget of $50,000 had been established for this study under Account No. 133 -03. Approval is being requested to award the study for the following reasons: MTRCA has ranked this particular project high in relation to other projects within the program and the funding required is a minor component of the total $350,000 funding request for 1994; Provincial staff has in writing approved this consultant's study and the provincial grant of $25,000; Metropolitan Toronto has approved the Sylvan Avenue erosion control project as part of the 1994 capital budget; and completion of this study is urgent for staff to finalize the Environmental Study Report and obtain all necessary approvals to facilitate the construction of the capital works once provincial funding is obtained later in 1994. 8. COLONEL SAMUEL SMITH PARK -Site Furnishings for the Public Promenade KEY ISSUE Authorization to obtain site furnishings along the public promenade at Colonel Samuel Smith Waterfront Park, City of Etobicoke. MOTION TO REFER Res. #E11/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Brian Harrison Richard O'Brien THAT this item be referred back to staff to consider other less costly alternatives. CARRIED MARCH 4, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/94 B11 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 8. COLONEL SAMUEL SMITH PARK (CONTD.) -Site Furnishings for the Public Promenade BACKGROUND In 1993, Moore George and Associates completed the final landscape design and contract documents for the public promenade at Colonel Samuel Smith Park. Construction of the promenade began in the fall of 1993, at which time the site furnishing supplier had yet to be determined. Moore George and Associates proceeded to undertake an indepth search for an appropriate supplier and identify costs. It was revealed that quality commercial bench units ranged in price from $800 to $1,200. In December of 1993, Moore George and Associates specified Maglin Furniture Systems as the supplier of site furnishings for the promenade project. RATIONALE Staff reviewed that consultant's recommendation for site furnishings with staff from The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Parks and Property Department. A prototype bench and waste receptacle were inspected for quality, durability and maintenance requirements. In addition, staff consulted with two alternate suppliers and reviewed availability of substitute models. Staff from The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Parks and Property Department concurred with the consultant's recommendation for the use of Maglin Furniture Systems. The benches and waste receptacles demonstrated high quality and durability and the unique metal design matched with the railing on the bridge and the railing at the central plaza lookout. As well, replacement parts are readily available and easily installed. Furthermore, alternate suppliers indicated that they were unable to provide similar metal work for the benches and waste receptacles. FINANCIAL DETAILS The total budget to manufacture and install the benches and waste receptacles in 1994 is $29,923. The cost estimates for the items are: • One custom curved wood bench 25.6 metres long $14,220 • Eight standard wood benches at $845 /unit 6,760 • Eight metal waste receptacles at $630 /unit 5,040 • PST and GST 3,903 TOTAL COST $29,923 Funds are available under a special grant from jobsOntario for the supply and installation of site furnishings along the public promenade at Colonel Samuel Smith Park under Account No. 204 -30 -348. B12 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/94, MARCH 4, 1994 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 9. OFFICE SUPPLY QUOTATIONS KEY ISSUE This report advises on the results of the office supply quotations received by the Authority as part of Tender Opening Sub - Committee Report #11/93 (Appendix TO. 23/93). Res. #E12/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Richard O'Brien Brian Harrison THAT the report dated February 22, 1994 on office supply quotations be received and that the quotation from Graphic Papers for supply of paper to the Authority be accepted. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Authority calls quotations for office and paper supplies annually. Tender Opening Sub - Committee Report #11/93, identified the four companies bidding for the tender of office supplies. The quotation from Cambrian Parsons Office Supplies was accepted, it being the lowest tender received, which met the Authority's specifications. Because the value of this contract is Tess than $25,000, staff are authorized to approve acceptance of the tender and to award the contract. The Authority annually purchases between $30,000 and $40,000 worth of paper supplies. The contract for the award of paper supplies must be approved by the Executive Committee pursuant to the Purchasing Policy. ANALYSIS The follow companies submitted bids for supply of paper to the Authority: Barber Ellis Fine Papers (Unisource) Inter City Papers Graphic Papers Although the Authority uses a wide variety of papers, for purposes of the tender opening only, the pricing for 8 1/2" x 11" white, recycled paper was identified. In the report of the Tender Opening Sub - Committee, the lowest bid for the supply of this paper was Inter City Papers at a cost of $5.42 per thousand. While Inter City was the lowest price for the supply of white recycled paper, in analysing the quotations for the balance of the paper requirements of the Authority, it was determined that overall the Inter City Papers quotation was not the lowest bid. Graphic Papers which had bid $5.50 per thousand for white recycled, was the lowest bid. As a result of this analysis, Graphic Papers has the lowest tender price for supply of paper to the Authority. Staff are recommending that the Graphic Papers bid be accepted. MARCH 4, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/94 B13 SECTION 11 - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 10.

UPDATE ON REVIEW OF AUTHORITY HEALTH BENEFITS KEY ISSUE At the direction of the Executive Committee, staff is proceeding with a review of the Authority's Employee Benefit plans. Res. #E14/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Richard O'Brien Brian Harrison THAT the staff report dated February 23, 1994 on progress with respect to the review of the Authority's Employee Benefit plans be received; CARRIED BACKGROUND The Members of the Executive Committee and the Finance and Administration Advisory Board will recall that as part of Resolutions #E194/93 and #F29/93 staff were to report on implications of changes to the Authority's Employee Benefit plans. The review is proceeding and given that the 1994 Budget is now being presented, staff wish to update the members on progress with the review. ANALYSIS Staff has conducted a survey of employee benefits used by the seven municipalities that constitute our market comparators for compensation purposes. Results of this survey indicate that the Authority's Employee Health Benefit premiums are among the lowest of our market competitors. Even taking into account the fact that many municipalities offer more generous benefit plans, the cost differential still indicates that the Authority's existing plans are cost effective. We will proceed to meet with the City of Brampton staff who have completed a tender for health services in 1994. The City of Brampton is not one of the seven municipal jurisdictions with whom we regularly compare ourselves. We have met with a significant number of our employees to discuss current costs and proposed changes. Input from those staff discussions will be considered in making our final recommendations to the Board. We have also met with the Alexander Consulting Group representative who provide health benefit services to the Authority. As a result of discussions, we shall be completing a marketing review of all our plans. This will involve specifications being sent to sixteen insurance companies providing the type of health services the Authority requires. As part of the detailed specifications for this market review, we will include options for pricing both the existing Authority plans and the changes proposed in 1993. As a result of this review, we will be able to provide the Authority with an accurate market evaluation of the services we now provide, as well as the costing implications for the changes discussed previously. B18 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/94, MARCH 4, 1994 ITEMS FOR THE INFORMATION OF THE COMMITTEE 13. UPDATE ON REVIEW OF AUTHORITY HEALTH BENEFITS (CONTD.) We have scheduled completion of the market review to coincide with the meetings of the Finance and Administration Advisory Board and the Executive Committee which will be held on Friday, May 6, 1994. Direction from the Executive at that time will enable any changes to be implemented at the beginning of August or possibly September. Given that any changes that occur will be late in the year, we have reduced significantly, the potential cost savings as part of the 1994 budget process. We are assuming some modest savings as a result of the market review.

CARRIED EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/94, APRIL 8, 1994 B22 SECTION 1 - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 1. SALE OF LAND IN THE VICINITY OF ROSSMULL CRESCENT, CITY OF VAUGHAN (CONTD.) - Giovanni and Ermelinda De Miglio, Rocco Tavernese, Maria Ciccia, Diane D'Amico and Cecile Saccoia Pavone BACKGROUND The Executive Committee, at its meeting March 4, 1994, adopted Res. #E8/94: "THAT the request for disposal of fragments of tableland in the vicinity of Rossmull Crescent be referred to Authority staff for review and discussions with adjacent property owners, in accordance with established Authority policies; AND FURTHER THAT a report recommending further action in this matter, be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future date." The technical staff have extensively reviewed this request and are in favour of the disposal of these lands. The Authority is retaining substantial tablelands sufficient to accommodate a buffer area and provide any future access required for public purposes to the adjacent Authority owned lands in this area. The lands involved consist of vacant tablelands which were included in a large open space block at the time the flood plain and valley lands in this area were designated suitable for acquisition by the Authority. The lands consist of parts of a larger acreage originally acquired from 419540 Ontario Limited (Seaton Development Limited) under the Humber River Flood Plain Component of the Land Acquisition Project in April 1982 and April 1983. Grading beyond the lot limits created a valley slope, the stability of which was of concern to Authority staff. Through extensive negotiation with the developer the Authority accepted an offer of $30,000 and completed the necessary grading and installation of drainage works to restore the slope and resolve the stability problem. This work was followed by extensive tree and shrub planting in the Spring of 1993. In 1989, the Authority declared surplus an area of table land at the rear of the first four lots on Rossmull Crescent and subsequently completed sales to the adjacent owners. Other residents along Rossmull Crescent also expressed a desire to purchase additional table land from the Authority. However, until the matter of slope stability had been resolved, staff was not prepared to recommend potential surplus land. Through the resolution of this slope stability problem, a 10 meter setback from top of bank was established, thereby identifying the Authority lands that are the subject of this report, to be considered surplus. In resolving the various issues at this location, the rear lot lines were confirmed and this process identified a minor encroachment onto Authority lands relating to a pool construction on lot 98. Completion of this sales transaction will resolve this encroachment. A plan illustrating this specific location was available at the meeting. B23 APRIL 8, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/94 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 1. SALE OF LAND IN THE VICINITY OF ROSSMULL CRESCENT, CITY OF VAUGHAN (CONTD.) - Giovanni and Ermelinda De Miglio, Rocco Tavernese, Maria Ciccia, Diane D'Amico and Cecile Saccoia Pavone FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding obtained from this sale will be used for the acquisition of other high priority land acquisitions under the Interim Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Project 1993 - 1995 and other approved Authority Land Acquisition Projects. 2. ROSSMULL CRESCENT, CITY OF VAUGHAN - Maintenance Agreement, Lots 97 to 106 Inclusive KEY ISSUE Resolution of fencing installation and maintenance standards on Authority lands adjacent to the rear lot lines on Rossmull Crescent, City of Vaughan. Res. #E19/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Lorna Jackson Jim Witty THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT staff be directed to complete negotiations with the owners of Lots 97 to 106 Rossmull Crescent, City of Vaughan, for maintenance agreement on Authority lands adjacent to these Lots; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority staff be authorized and directed to execute these agreements. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Wycliffe Developments subdivision, Plan 2023 and Block 115, Plan 65M -2022, which included Rossmull Crescent, was registered in 1981. Although now fill regulated, at the time that the development commenced this valley land area did not fall within a regulated area. The Authority did provide comments with respect to storm water management and silt control, and included concerns regarding slope grading. The actual grading of the valley slope behind the Rossmull Crescent lots was not completed as detailed by the subdivision agreement grading plans. This prompted staff's concern for the slope stability when the Authority acquired ownership of the valley lands through the subdivision agreement in 1982 and 1983. The grading produced some tableland between the Rossmull Crescent rear lot lines and the valley slope. As a result, there were encroachment problems on Authority lands in the form of garden sheds, retaining walls, fencing and various types of landscaping. In December 1988, Executive Meeting #13/88, directed staff to remove existing encroachments and this problem has been resolved. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/94, APRIL 8, 1994 B24 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 2. ROSSMULL CRESCENT, CITY OF VAUGHAN (CONTD.) - Maintenance Agreement, Lots 97 to 106 Inclusive Through negotiations with the developer of this subdivision, a plan to resolve the long outstanding stability concerns was agreed upon. On February 7, 1992, at Executive Committee Meeting #17/91, staff were directed to accept an offer of $30,000 from the developer to complete the necessary grading and installation of drainage to complete the restoration of the slope. This work was carried out during the summer of 1992 and a planting and regeneration plan was developed. This plan was reviewed with the residents and planting was carried out in the spring of 1993. WORK TO BE DONE When the Authority acquired these valley lands, property line fencing was to be erected. However at the request of the residents to have no fence erected, this matter was left in obeyance until the slope stability problem was resolved. A fence was identified as part of the landscape restoration plan and again the residents requested no fence be installed. In discussion with the residents, staff expressed the concern that without a fence there would be a likelihood of the former encroachment problems reoccurring. Through discussions, a form of maintenance agreement has been negotiated that includes in the foregoing the installation of a four foot black vinyl chain link fence, the Authority would install on each lot corner, a suitable wooden or metal post to clearly demarcate the property line and the residents in turn would formally agree not to place any encroachments on Authority property. The issue of maintenance of grass and newly planted trees and shrubs was also discussed. Staff prefer to carry out no grass maintenance and perform only maintenance required on any hazardous tree. The residents on the other hand, maintain neat, well manicured yards. Traditionally in these circumstances, the Authority carries out limited grass maintenance, two to three times per month, but due to the economic constraint, program funding for this work has been cut. The residents were prepared to undertake grass cutting and necessary care for the newly planted trees and shrubs. This maintenance agreement therefore includes clauses that permit the residents to perform this maintenance, while clearly setting out that these are public lands, and although not specifically designed to encourage public use, the maintenance of these lands by the residents does not provide either collectively of individually any exclusivity on their part to the use of these lands. The agreement sets out clearly that maintenance is limited to only the tableland portion and that there is to be no disposal of yard or swimming pool waste on Authority lands. A thirty day cancellation clause available to both parties is included. In the event the agreement is cancelled, the Authority would proceed with property line fencing. The draft agreement has been reviewed by the Authority's solicitors to ensure the Authority's interests are protected. The resolution of this long outstanding problem has lead to the development of a good relationship with the residents and has provided the opportunity to educate them on the watershed management work of the Authority and the importance of natural valley lands in the green space of the watershed. Staff believe that this form of agreement can serve as a model for resolution of encroachment and management on similar valley lands.

CARRIED EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/94, APRIL 8, 1994 B36 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 11. LAKE ONTARIO WATERFRONT REGENERATION PROJECT 1992 -1994 (CONTD.) - Colonel Samuel Smith Waterfront Park Promenade, Planting and Irrigation, Tender ED94 -01 BACKGROUND In 1993, Authority staff in consultation with The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Parks and Property Department, Lakeshore Yacht Club and Humber College Sailing School, prepared a detailed promenade plan to implement the Colonel Samuel Smith Master Plan as approved by the Authority and The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. The total estimated cost for the entire promenade was $671,635. As part of the overall project, the paving and bridge structure was estimated at $500,385 and the planting and irrigation portion was estimated at $142,500. Tenders were publicly advertised for the planting and irrigation along the promenade at Colonel Samuel Smith Park. The work generally includes the planting of trees and shrubs, the installation of an irrigation system and associated works along both sides of the 235 metre long promenade. In total, thirteen tenders were received and opened by the Tender Opening Sub - Committee at 9:50 a.m. on Friday, March 25, 1994. Following the tender opening, staff directed the project consultant, Moore George Associates Inc., to contact Simonis Landscaping Inc. in the afternoon of Friday, March 25, to request three references. Simonis was contacted and informed that they were low bid by approximately $24,000, mainly due to the overall plant material price which was quoted in their tender. Later that afternoon, Simonis Landscaping Inc. contacted both Moore George Associates Inc. and MTRCA staff to indicate that they had made a calculation error on the plant material price. Specifically, Simonis said that they miscalculated the price on the pin oak trees. MTRCA staff informed Simonis that the tenders were under review and that they should write a letter to the Chief Administrative Officer of the MTRCA to inform him of the error that they made. Simonis then contacted the Chief Administrative Officer by telephone and outlined the calculation error. RATIONALE The Authority's consultant for this project, Moore George Associates Inc. has reviewed the tender results and three references for the low bidder, Simonis Landscaping Inc. The consultant has identified that Simonis Landscaping Inc. is a reputable contractor and could satisfactorily complete the planting and irrigation work at Colonel Samuel Smith Park. As of April 5, 1994, the Authority had received nothing in writing from Simonis regarding their position on their calculation error. Therefore, Authority staff recommend that the contract for the promenade planting and irrigation be awarded to Simonis Landscaping Inc. FINANCIAL DETAILS In 1994, funds are available in the Lake Ontario Waterfront Regeneration Project 1992 -1994 under Account No. 204 -31, $ 175,000 from jobs0ntario and $175,000 within the approved Metro Capital Works Program.

Reinders and Associates Limited be retained to complete the final designs for the Toronto Islands Erosion Control Project at a total cost of $ 123,799. (including G.S.T.). CARRIED BACKGROUND At the direction of the Toronto Islands' Technical Steering Committee, Authority staff prepared Terms of Reference for consultants to complete the final design details for remedial erosion control works. From a list of eight qualified consulting firms, the Steering Committee recommended that four firms be invited to submit formal proposals for the study. These consultants include: Johnson Sustronk Weinstein Ltd., Proctor and Redfern Ltd., F. J. Reinders and Associates and Shoreplan Engineering Ltd. Each consultant made a presentation to members of a sub - committee to outline their understanding of the projects, approach and strategy and to introduce members of their design team. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE The final reports of the Shoreline Management Study, completed by W. F. Baird and Associates in 1993, have provided a series of recommendations for remedial works for various shoreline structures around Wards Island, Centre Island and the westerly end of Algonquin Island. In total, eight projects have been identified within the scope of this study. In consultation with the Island residents and the Technical Steering Committee, the consultant will undertake the development and assessment of various alternatives for each project, and provide recommendations for preferred remedial works. The consultant will then finalize the design details, prepare contract drawings and documents, and assist in the tendering and construction of all projects. B39 APRIL 8, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/94 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 13. TORONTO ISLANDS EROSION CONTROL PROJECT (CONTD.) - Consultant Selection RATIONALE The sub - committee of the Toronto Islands Technical Steering Committee received four proposals for the design of remedial works as follows (prices do not include G.S.T.): (a) Shoreplan Engineering Ltd. $91,900 (b) Johnson Sustronk Weinstein Ltd. 98,810 (c) F.J. Reinders and Associates Ltd. 115,700 (d) Proctor and Redfern Ltd. 235,400 In addition, each consulting team made a forty minute presentation to the members of the sub- committee on March 30, 1994. A consultant evaluation form was completed for each consulting team. This evaluation ranked each team based on the following criteria: • • • • the written proposal; experience and expertise of key members of the consulting team; understanding of background information, project, environmental concerns and proposed approach; the presentation. The members of the sub - committee were in agreement that the team headed by F.J. Reinders and Associates had the best overall evaluation, followed by Proctor and Redfern, Johnson Sustronk Weinstein and Shoreplan Engineering Ltd. The other selection criteria was the cost. No budget was established for this assignment and the consultants were required to include all work necessary to address the Terms of Reference. The three lowest cost proposals were within a 25% spread and these were analyzed in more detail to ensure that a fair and equal cost comparison was made. Additional information was required from each consultant to complete the cost comparison. The results of this analysis is: (1) Shoreplan Engineering Ltd. $100,033. (2) Johnson Sustronk Weinstein $112,976. (3) F.J. Reinders & Associates $115,700. Based on the rankings from the evaluation and cost criteria, the team of F.J. Reinders and Associates were ranked first overall. The key strengths in the F.J. Reinders team over the other two lowest consultants include: good balance of experienced personnel in structural, coastal and environmental fields and good performance in previous work for the Authority. While their "equalized cost" was still approximately $2,700. higher than that of Johnson Sustronk Weinstein, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/94, APRIL 8, 1994 B40 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 13. TORONTO ISLANDS EROSION CONTROL PROJECT (CONTD.) - Consultant Selection the members of the sub - committee agreed that continuity in the design team would be a strong point in recommending F.J. Reinders. The same team members were involved in the initial study in 1993 which was headed by W.F. Baird and Associates. While having the lowest cost proposal, Shoreplan Engineering Ltd. was evaluated lowest of the four firms based on the above criteria. This evaluation was critical in recommending the best consulting team for this study. The sub - committee agreed to recommend that the consulting firm of F.J. Reinders and Associates be awarded the final design study at a total upset cost of $115,700. plus $8099. G.S.T.

Pursuant to Ontario Regulation 795/90, the appeal was heard by the Mining and Lands Commissioner in March, 1993. On February 11, 1994 a decision was released by the Commissioner, Ms. Linda Kamerman. In this decision, the appeal was dismissed and the permission to place the fill refused. The decision of the Commissioner is lengthy and involves comments on the nature of the appeal and the definitions of the term conservation of land as noted in Section 28 of the act. A copy of the full text of the decision is available on request. Key points within the decision are as follows: • "Conservation of land" includes all aspects of the physical environment, be it terrestrial, aquatic, biological, botanic or air and the relationship between them. "Ecosystem" is found to be included in the definition of "land ". • The evolution of the Authority's policies and practices towards a more ecosystem recognition is supportable by the legislation. • The absence of dramatic contours is not definitive of whether a landform or the landform encompassed by the subject lands, is or is not a first order stream and valley corridor. B52 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/94, MAY 6, 1994 SECTION 1 - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 3. 611428 ONTARIO LTD. (CONTD.) - Notice of Decision and Notice of Appeal • Characteristics of first order streams include: a. whether the lowest elevation of the landform coincides with a larger watercourse; b. whether the landform has a drainage function (whether or not the watercourse is intermittent if it exists at all); c. the type of vegetation that exists - wetland or otherwise; • The "significance" of a landform or the vegetation involved is not determined by an examination of rarity or uniqueness. Though the feature may occur in a number of locations, its importance to the system overall should be evaluated. • First order streams play an integral role in the health of the downstream watercourse. "The evidence has shown that first order streams, or headwater reaches of the watershed, play an integral role in the health of the downstream watercourse. This role cannot be measured by the number of disparate or endangered species, the volume of flowing water found throughout the year. It is the often minuscule evidence of water seepage, of intermittent flow or any growth found in wet areas which will indicate the presence of a first order stream. That the very presence of these attributes exists points to a different meaning of significance for headwater areas of a watershed." • The tribunal finds that it is important to apply a precautionary principle to development involving first order and intermittent streams. • Headwaters are fragile. Minuscule changes in headwaters will be compounded throughout the watershed. RATIONALE On February 24, 1994, Mr. Wigley was served a notice of appeal to the Ontario Divisional Court of the decision of the Commissioner in this matter. The appeal is launched pursuant to the Mining Act (the Act governing the Commissioner) to the Ontario Court of Justice (General Division). The appellant must request the required evidence (in this case transcripts of the hearing). The appeal documentation, including a memorandum of legal argument called a Factum must then be filed with the Court. The respondent (Authority) must then file a Respondent's Factum. It is anticipated that the bulk of this work will occur in 1994 with the actual appeal to be heard in 1995. Staff recommend that the Committee authorize the response to this appeal by staff and the firm of Gardiner, Roberts. MAY 6, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/94 B53 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 4. BILL 62 -An Act to Amend the Environmental Protection Act in Respect of the Niagara Escarpment KEY ISSUE A request from the Halton Region Conservation Authority to support the passage of Bill 62 to eliminate the future use of sites in the Niagara Escarpment Planning Area for waste disposal site. Res. #E41/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Jim Witty Lois Hancey THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority support the Halton Region Conservation Authority's endorsement of Bill 62, as amended, An Act to Amend the Environmental Protection Act in respect of the Niagara Escarpment; AND FURTHER THAT correspondence be forwarded to the Premier of Ontario, the Ministers of Natural Resources and Environment and Energy, the House Leaders of the Liberal and Progressive Conservative Parties, and all Members of Provincial Parliament within its watersheds advising of the Authority's position. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Authority has received information and a request from the General Manager of the Halton Region Conservation Authority with respect to proposed changes to the Environmental Protection Act to eliminate as potential water disposal sites all property within the Niagara Escarpment Planning Area, including quarries and gravel pits. AUTHORITY INTERESTS Siting waste disposal facilities in the headwater areas has long been an Authority concern specific to the potential source area contamination of surface and groundwater. The Authority has noted these concerns to the Interim Waste Authority in their search for sites within the Greater Toronto Area and, earlier, in comments regarding previous site selections. Passage of Bill 62, as amended, would provide protection for lands within the Niagara Escarpment Planning Area and would be more consistent with the designation of this area as one of provincial significance and as a world biosphere reserve.

CARRIED BACKGROUND This is further to Resolution #A233/93, adopted at Authority Meeting #12/93, held January 28, 1994 and Resolutions #E225/93 and #E226193, adopted at Executive Committee Meeting #11/93, held January 7, 1994. After numerous additional meetings and discussions, executed copies of the agreement relating to this matter were received by the Authority mid April, 1994. While the substance of the agreement is substantially the same as that approved by Authority Meeting #12/93, because of changes in acreage in the lands being acquired and conveyed, it was felt appropriate to bring this matter back to the Authority. The change in the name of owners was made to reflect the actual registered ownership of the properties. Under the final agreement, as executed, the owners are to convey to the Authority 7.619 acres, more or less, of vacant land, situate in the City of Etobicoke, The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. While it was earlier anticipated that the total area of acquisition would be 8.086 acres, more or less, a recent conveyance involving the owners with other parties has resulted in a slightly reduced acreage in the final signed agreement. In addition to the reduced area being acquired by the Authority, staff have also managed to reduce the area being conveyed to the owners to 0.713 acres. While it was earlier anticipated that the total area to be conveyed to the owners would be 0.959 acres, more or Tess, the owners have agreed in the final agreement that 0.246 acres of the original 0.959 acres be deeded directly to the City of Etobicoke for future park land uses. In accordance with the direction of the Authority, provision has been included in the final agreement that it is subject to the approval of the City of Etobicoke, The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Province of Ontario. Copies of the details of the agreement and background material were forwarded to the various parties on April 27, 1994, and we are currently awaiting these approvals.

VINCE AND VALERIE ACCARDI - LAND EXCHANGE - 72 Pemberton Road, Town of Richmond Hill KEY ISSUE Receipt of a request from Vince and Valerie Accardi, to explore the possibility of a land exchange involving two adjacent lots of equal size and value. Res. #E44/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Lois Hancey Jim Witty THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is in receipt of a request from Vince and Valerie Accardi to enter into an exchange of lands located in the vicinity of 72 Pemberton Road in the Town of Richmond Hill, Regional Municipality of York; AND WHEREAS it is in the opinion of the Authority, that it is in the best interests of the Authority in furthering its objectives, as set out in Section 20 of the Conservation Authorities Act, to proceed with the exchange; THAT the Authority enter into an exchange of lands on the following basis: (a) Vince and Valerie Accardi convey to the Authority, a parcel of land containing .145 acres, more or less, being Part Lot 64, Plan 2027, Town of Richmond Hill, Regional Municipality of York; (b) The Authority convey to Vince and Valarie Accardi a parcel of land containing .145 acres, more or less, being Part Lot 64, Plan 2027, Town of Richmond Hill, Regional Municipality of York, designated as Part 2 on Reference Plan 65R- 14343; (c) Vince and Valerie Accardi pay all reasonable expenses incurred incidental to closing, up to a maximum of $2,000.00; THAT said exchange 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 27; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect thereto, including the execution of any documents. CARRIED RATIONALE On two separate occasions, permission was denied by the Executive Committee to construct on the severed portion of 72 Pemberton Road because the majority of the undeveloped land was located in the Regional Flood Plain. The owner, Mr. DiMichele, then approached staff with an offer to sell and as a result the Authority recently purchased the property. B58 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/94, MAY 6, 1994 SECTION 1 - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 7. VINCE AND VALERIE ACCARDI - LAND EXCHANGE (CONTD.) - 72 Pemberton Road, Town of Richmond Hill Staff is now in receipt of a permit application to construct on the parcel situate immediately to the west and north. This parcel includes a large area outside of the flood plain where a house is proposed to be located. Unfortunately the only access to the house site is off Pemberton Road through the flood plain. The application is essentially for filling and regrading for the driveway access. Authority staff have expressed concern about the application because; i) fill is required to construct the driveway to meet municipal development standards and therefore impacts the control of flooding; ii) this development separates the Authority owned lot from the balance of the valley corridor; iii) the environmental impacts associated with the driveway crossing the undisturbed valley corridor are unacceptable. In recognition of the history associated with the propertyls), the unique circumstances of the application, and the nature and character of the development in the area, staff began to explore options with the Town and the proponent to allow for an acceptable access. As a result, we are recommending that we exchange the lot now owned by the Authority for an equivalent portion of the adjacent parcel. This would then allow for an access: i) that would be at the edge of the flood plain and valley corridor instead of through the middle; ii) the proposed access would be on a existing old driveway thereby minimizing impact to the valley /corridor; iii) the proposed driveway can be constructed at grade therefore not impacting the control of flooding. In addition, restrictive covenants will be placed on the lot being disposed of to ensure that the undisturbed area remains as much as possible in its natural state. Through this option we achieve our water management and valley corridor objective while providing access to the useable lands.

PROJECT FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE ALTONA FOREST ENVIRONMENTALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA (CONTD.) - Sidney and Pearl Cassel Property A letter dated May 3, 1994, was forwarded to Mayor Wayne Arthurs, and members of Council, Town of Pickering. The original purchase arrangement was arrived at after strenuous, protracted negotiations, involving representatives of the Authority, the Town of Pickering, Regional Municipality of Durham, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Minister of Housing and the Provincial Facilitators Office. The arrangement was also arrived at on the basis of an attempt to prevent this property being litigated at the Ontario Municipal Board hearing which commenced March 28, 1994, for a four day period. The Authority's solicitors reporting letter for this hearing is also available upon request. The Council of the Town of Pickering at a meeting held on Tuesday, May 3, 1994, agreed to provide funding from the town in the total amount of $80,000 to assist the Authority with completing this acquisition. Also, the Authority has at hand an additional $54,000 of the provincial grant resulting from fund raising activities on the Sandbury Homes site in the Frenchman's Bay area, Town of Pickering, to be utilized in this purchase. Negotiations have been conducted with the owners and their solicitor, Mr. Edward R. Fleury of Fleury, Comery, Barristers and Solicitors, to deal with the potential funding shortfall for this acquisition. The acquisition has now been amended to delete reference to the restrictive covenant and to forego any demand for the 5 metre buffer in the future or to replace a Forest Management Agreement with respect to it. In exchange, the price for the property being acquired has been reduced to $ 145,750. The Cassels are prepared to re- negotiate the deal on the basis set out in the above resolution or simply get on with developing the property for medium density. RATIONALE The land being acquired is situate in the Altona Forest Environmentally Significant Area. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding for this acquisition as amended is available.

TENDER OPENING SUB - COMMITTEE #2/94 - Tender ED 94 -02, Rental of Heavy Construction Equipment and Operator KEY ISSUE The Tender Opening Sub - Committee (Appendix T0.3/94) opened tenders for the supply of heavy construction equipment and operators on March 25, 1994. The tenders received were referred to staff for review and a report. Res. #E48/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Paul Palleschi Jim Witty IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the Water Resource Division utilize, as required, the service of Sartor and Susin Limited for the rental of construction equipment with operators during 1994 that being the lowest quotation received; AND FURTHER THAT staff be authorized to use Appendix EX.9/94 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 Water Resource Division in carrying out the 1994 work programs. Our decision regarding the low quotation is based on our comparison of a list of equipment commonly used in our work, which would give us the best package over the 1994 work period. A total of ten tenders were received. Our analysis of the quotations, which are attached for your information, indicates that Sartor and Susin Limited is the lowest quotation received. In the event that Sartor and Susin Limited cannot supply all our equipment needs during the peak construction periods, we feel it would be prudent to be able to select equipment from the company which provides the next lowest tender price (Appendix EX.9/94). This will be dependant on what equipment is specified and will help ensure that equipment is always available.

PROMOTIONS CONTRACT -Black Creek Pioneer Village KEY ISSUE Awarding a contract to supply promotional material for Black Creek Pioneer Village to increase visitation during 1994. Res. #E49/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Paul Palleschi Jim Witty THAT a contract not to exceed $24,950 (plus applicable tax) for the execution of promotional material for Black Creek Pioneer Village be awarded to Sandra Sims Copywriting and Production, it being the least costly proposal which meets all of the Authority's specifications. CARRIED BACKGROUND This budget was developed in the basis of $25,000 for a consultant to prepare the promotional material plus $5,000 for production costs. As a major Toronto attraction, Black Creek Pioneer Village has an active agenda of products, programs and activities to be promoted. In -house corporate promotions staff resources to Black Creek were significantly decreased in the late 1980's, and this shift can be directly linked to the decline in attendance and lack of regular visibility in the media. To reverse this trend, Black Creek requires a regular, attention - catching, aggressive promotions thrust. In 1993, an enhanced media approach was piloted, resulting in substantially increased media coverage. Building on this momentum, the promotion material to be developed through this current contract will establish frequent and regular media contact, with the objective of reversing the 10% annual attendance decline, and meeting the '94 target of 193,000 visitors. This project does not conflict in any way with Black Creek's strategic operational review. It is a tactical approach to increasing attendance and is one of the most cost effective methods of increasing awareness about Black Creek. ANALYSIS Five firms were preselected from a larger field. Prices quoted exclude taxes. • Howard Kaman • Gordon Allen • Hollingworth and Hatcher _ • Sandra Sims Copywriting and Production • The Reflex Marketing Group did not bid no firm price $19,000 but incomplete $24,950 $31,435 Of the five sent terms of reference, four submitted proposals, ranging in price from $19,000 to $31,435. The two lowest bids were found to be incomplete, both failing to include required elements, and failing to identify complete costs required to undertake the project. B64 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/94, MAY 6, 1994 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 12. PROMOTIONS CONTRACT (CONTD.) -Black Creek Pioneer Village The proposals from Sandra Sims Copywriting and Production and The Reflex Marketing Group were considered complete. Criteria established to review proposals included completeness, quality of proposal, credentials of suppliers, and cost. The project timeframe is May through November, and includes promotion for all special events, summer and fall highlights, food and retail services. Based on a review of the two complete proposals, staff is recommending Sandra Sims Copywriting and Production at a cost not to exceed $24,950 since it meets all of our requirements. FINANCIAL DETAILS Total cost to cover outside promotion services and printed materials of $30,000 was approved in the 1994 Black Creek Pioneer Village operating budget, $25,000 is budgeted for writing services and $5,000 budgeted to cover production costs. Funds are available in BCPV operating budget. 13. AUTHORITY HEALTH BENEFITS PLAN REVIEW This item was recommended for approval at Finance and Administration Advisory Board Meeting #2/94, held May 6, 1994. KEY ISSUE At the direction of the Executive Committee, staff has completed a review of the Authority's employee health benefit plans. Res. #E50/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Richard O'Brien Jim Witty THAT the proposal from Maritime Life Assurance Company for provision of employee health benefit plans to MTRCA be accepted, it being the lowest cost overall that meets the Authority's specifications; THAT a managed health care drug program be introduced as soon as feasible in 1994; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to take the necessary action to implement the proposal and the managed drug program and to monitor the quality and effectiveness of the program reporting as necessary to the Finance and Administration Advisory Board. CARRIED MAY 6, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3194 865 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 13. AUTHORITY HEALTH BENEFITS PLAN REVIEW (CONTD.) BACKGROUND Members of the Executive Committee and the Finance and Administration Advisory Board will recall that, as part of the budget restraint program, staff had proposed reductions in employee health benefit coverage as a method of reducing premium costs. Staff was directed to consider alternatives to reducing benefits. Staff reported to the Executive Committee and the Finance and Administration Advisory Board on March 4, 1994, on progress of the review of Authority health benefit plans. The March 4th report advised that staff had conducted a survey of employee benefit plans used by the seven municipalities that constitute the Authority's market bench marks for compensation purposes. Results of this survey indicated that the Authority's health benefit premiums were among the lowest of our market survey. Even taking into account that many municipalities offer more generous benefit plans, the cost differential still indicated that the Authority's existing plans were cost effective. As a result of discussions with the Alexander Consulting Group representative, who provides health benefit services to the Authority, a decision was made to conduct a full market review of all of our plans. ANALYSIS In consultation with Authority staff, the Alexander Consulting Group prepared detailed marketing specifications for the group insurance benefits for MTRCA. Copies of the 21 page document are available to members who wish to see them. The Authority sought proposals on the basis of our existing health benefit plans and on several proposed alternatives including cancellation of semi - private hospital and vision benefits, implementation of a managed health care plan for drugs and a modified dental plan with co- funding of some services. The proposal was sent to the following companies: Blue Cross of Ontario, Canada Life Assurance Company, Confederation Life Insurance Company, Crown Life Insurance Company, Great -West Life Assurance Company, Green - Shield Prepaid Services Inc., London Life Insurance Company, Manufacturers Life Insurance Company, Maritime Life Assurance Company, Mutual Life Assurance Company of Canada, North American Life Assurance Company, Prudential Insurance Company of America, Prudential Insurance Company of England, Standard Life Assurance Company, Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, and Unum Life Insurance Company. RESULTS OF PROPOSALS Of the 16 companies to whom the proposals were sent, seven responded, two of whom made a combined proposal. Attached as Schedule 1 to this report is a summary of the proposals received. Among the conditions of the proposals submitted, all companies indicated that the major medical, vision and dental rates were conditional upon also obtaining the long term disability and /or life insurance coverage. Accordingly, in analysing these proposals, it is not possible to simply pick the lowest rate in each category. B66 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/94, MAY 6, 1994 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 13. AUTHORITY HEALTH BENEFITS PLAN REVIEW (CONTD.) Also, Authority staff has evaluated the proposed alternatives which included the savings associated with cancellation of semi - private hospital and vision benefits, the use of a managed health care package for drug reimbursement and employee cost sharing with respect to the dental and drug benefits. As a result of the proposal process, Maritime Life Assurance Company, the Authority's current supplier for major medical, dental and life insurance, has produced the lowest overall quotation. The proposal from Mutual Life is marginally lower in premium cost but involves higher administration costs. Given that there are costs to changing suppliers; i.e., new procedures, printing of brochures, etc., making a change where the savings are marginal is not cost effective. Also, Maritime has provided excellent service to MTRCA employees in the handling of claims. The major saving relates to the Long Term Disability Plan. Currently our long term disability coverage is provided by Sun Life of Canada at a cost of $2.866/$100. of coverage. Maritime Life proposes to provide the long term disability benefit at a cost of $1.75/$100. of coverage. This proposed rate results in annualized savings of $84,788. Maritime Life also commits to guarantee the long term disability premium for two years. These savings can be achieved because under the rules for long term disability our existing long term disability cases continue to be carried by the previous insuring company. In affect, the premiums paid in past years create a reserve fund which is available to the insurer to cover outstanding liabilities associated with long term disability claimants. When the carrier changes, the liability remains with the previous company. As a result the new supplier of long term disability coverage 'is beginning, in effect, with a "clean slate ". Obviously, the insurance companies are well aware of this opportunity and organizations such as MTRCA have to be aware that making such a change on a regular basis simply to avoid long term disability experience problems, will not be accepted. We have an opportunity at this time to make the change and it has significant cost savings. If the Authority were to attempt to change long term disability insurers frequently, with the intent of leaving behind claimants, this would not be acceptable in the industry. However, this is an opportune moment since we have a number of claimants under long term disability who will remain with and will be covered by Sun Life reserve funds. In addition to recommending that our long term disability coverage be awarded to Maritime Life, staff is also proposing the introduction of a managed health care plan, whereby drugs would be reimbursed on a drug card basis in accordance with the appropriate Provincial Drug Formulary. The revised drug plan would require the employee to pay $5.00 per prescription at the time the prescription is filled rather than the current annual $25.00 deductible. The balance of the cost of the prescription would be covered through the use of a drug card system. This would relieve the employee of the necessity of filing a separate claim, including all receipts, which currently takes three to four weeks to complete. There are significant savings from this system since the volume of paper being handled by staff of the Authority and the insurer is reduced. MAY 6, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/94 B67 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 13. AUTHORITY HEALTH BENEFITS PLAN REVIEW (CONTD.) Non - formulary drug prescriptions will be covered by the plan at 70% of the prescription cost. Members should be aware that the Ontario Drug Formulary covers many regular drug products or substitutes now offered. The purpose of introducing the managed drug plan is to reduce the potential for increased drug costs. Of the health benefits offered, the drug portion has the greatest potential for cost increases. By introducing efficiency with the card system, and adding participation by the employee, the Authority will limit the liability in future years. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Staff believe that the proposal from Maritime Life will produce savings in the range of $100,000 annually. The introduction of the revised plans will occur in June and July of 1994 and we anticipate savings of S50,000 in 1994. This will assist the Authority in terms of dealing with cuts in grants anticipated from the provincial government. 14.

CARETAKER PLUS - Commercial Security System, Black Creek Pioneer Village KEY ISSUE Awarding a contract to supply a commercial security system to protect against fire and intrusion at Black Creek Pioneer Village. Res. #E52/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Paul Palleschi Jim Witty THAT a contract not to exceed $30,135 for the Caretaker Plus wireless security system be awarded to Chubb Security Systems. CARRIED BACKGROUND For some time, staff has been attempting to acquire a satisfactory wireless security system at Black Creek Pioneer Village, but until 1994, funding has not been available. In 1989, a wireless system suitable for the Village was available from 2 suppliers, Chubb Security and Royal Security. Proposals from both firms were requested and after a review, it was determined that the Chubb proposal was the only proposal which had a zone system necessary to cover the large area of the MAY 6, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3194 B69 SECTION 11 - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 15. CARETAKER PLUS (CONTD.) - Commercial Security System, Black Creek Pioneer Village Village. In 1993, staff was advised that ADT had a wireless system. However, the system did not have the capability of being operated, or monitored from a touch tone telephone. We have confirmed prices with Chubb Alarms and quotations are valid for 1994. The new Caretaker Plus system meets all requirements. Chubb Security is the exclusive distributor of this system in Canada. The system can be controlled from any touch tone telephone and has an additional important feature that informs you of the exact nature of the alarm and its location allowing effective emergency response. One small zone was installed two years ago at the Village and, more recently, in one of our Conservation Areas. The systems are working well. A similar wireless system was installed in Sturbridge Village in the United States and they are very satisfied with its performance. A wireless system is preferable in historic restorations because it is less costly to install, less damaging to building fabric and invisible to the public. This quotation covers four of the eight zones including the new workshop. Consideration will be given to the final three zones when funding is available. FINANCIAL DETAILS Total cost to install this system in the four major areas of the Village is $30,135. Funds are available in the Capital Works Program. 16.

CARRIED JUNE 10, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/94 B87 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 4. THE MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO VALLEY AND SHORELINE REGENERATION PROJECT 1992 -1996 (CONTD.) - Toronto Islands Shoreline Management Project BACKGROUND In 1993, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority completed the coastal and structural assessment of the Toronto Island's shoreline along Centre, Ward's and Algonquin Islands. From this study, it was determined that the existing Centre Island seawall along the south shoreline is structurally sound but requires some maintenance to ensure its long term structural integrity. In addition, the limits of the Regulatory Shoreline for Centre Island were identified. The Regulatory Shoreline defines those areas that are susceptible to flooding and erosion hazards. Based on the study, it was determined that Centre Island was a potential site for new housing; however, the members of the Toronto Islands Steering Committee recommended that any proposed housing be set back a minimum 30 metres from the concrete seawall. The preliminary Toronto Island Residential Site Plan was developed while recognizing the 30 metre setback. The proposed new housing units are to be located south of the existing Cibola Avenue, along the narrow strip of Centre Island to the west of Ward's Island and to the south of Algonquin Island. The City of Toronto's existing 150/200mm diameter sanitary forcemain runs through the middle of the proposed residential development. In order to meet the setback requirement and achieve the required number of housing units on Centre Island, it will be necessary to relocate the sanitary forcemain to an alignment northerly, along or adjacent to Cibola Avenue. RATIONALE The Ministry of Natural Resources has received approval to include the cost of this project within the original $4,000,000 jobsOntario allocation for the Toronto Islands erosion control project, and has directed the Authority to proceed with this work. Since the City of Toronto will be maintaining the sanitary forcemain, the Technical Steering Committee recommended that the most cost efficient way to proceed would be to authorize the City to undertake the design, construction and supervision of this work on behalf of the Authority. DETAILS OF WORK Subject to receiving City Council approval, staff of the City of Toronto's Department of Public Works and the Environment have advised the Authority that they are prepared to carry out this work. The Authority will pay the City for the construction cost plus a 15% administrative charge. This will include detailed design, preparation of contract documents, the tendering, contract administration and the site supervision during construction. The estimated cost for relocating the sewer is $300,000 plus $45,000 administrative charge. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding is provided under jobsOntario through the Ministry of Natural Resources at a 100% grant rate under Account No. 151 -15.

CITY OF VAUGHAN (CONTD.) - Request for a permanent easement for a storm water management facility and outfall on the north side of Rutherford Road, west of Pine Valley Drive BACKGROUND The proposed storm water management facility will service the Neighbourhood III Development west of Pine Valley Drive on the south side of Rutherford Road. In accordance with The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority guidelines "Use of Authority Owned Lands For Storm Water Management" approved at Authority Meeting #11/92, January 22, 1993, the proponent has demonstrated that the proposed location on Authority land is reasonable in that it supports our water and related land management objectives. A detailed design will be carried out at the permit stage. Also an accordance with the guidelines the general public were invited to make comment, either verbal or written, in respect to the proposed use of Authority lands. In this respect the following actions were taken: (a) A sign was installed on the subject lands inviting public comment; (b) A Notice for a Public Information Session and request for public comment was placed in the Vaughan Weekly; (c) A Public Information Session was held on May 31, 1994, at the West Vaughan Community Centre. To date, there has been very little public interest shown in connection with the proposal. One party attended the Public Information Session and did not provide any comments. One telephone call was received from the daughter of the former owner from whom the Authority acquired the lands. She enquired about the proposed use and raised a general concern about the Authority disposing of its lands. The subject land is part of a larger parcel acquired from J. Jacobs in May 1965, under the Boyd Dam and Reservoir Project, Humber River Watershed. Authority archaeological staff have reviewed the site and since it is a former gravel pit and highly disturbed, they have advised that a full archaeological investigation is not warranted. Staff have carried out extensive negotiations with representatives of the developers and respectfully submit that the compensation package relating to the 2.79 acre easement, which is within a former gravel pit, is fair and reasonable. FINANCIAL DETAILS It is proposed that the funding obtained from this easement be utilized for the purchase of other higher priority Flood Plain, Valley, Lake Ontario Shoreline and Greenspace properties under the Interim Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Project 1993 - 1995. In addition $30,000 of the revenue will be provided for rehabilitation of the remainder of the gravel pit.

ENVIRONMENTAL BILL OF RIGHTS KEY ISSUE The Environmental Bill of Rights (EBR) and its potential to impact on the programs of the Authority. Res. #E72/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Jim Witty Paul Palleschi THAT the staff report regarding the implementation of the Environmental Bill of Rights be received; AND FURTHER THAT staff continue to work with provincial staff and the Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario to determine the impact of the legislation on Authority programs. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Executive Committee Meeting #7/93, held September 10, 1993, staff reported on the status of the Environmental Bill of Rights and its potential impact on the programs and projects of the Authority. Staff have continued discussions with the province with regard to this matter and provide this report as an update. The Environmental Bill of Rights was proclaimed on February 15, 1994. Draft Statements of Environmental Values (SEVs) were required to be available, on an electronic registry, for public comment no later than May 15, 1994. The electronic registry was launched in Metro on May 12 and across the Province on May 13, 1994. Comments on the draft SEVs may be made up until August 15. On May 30, 1994, Eva Ligeti, LL.B, LL.M., was appointed the province's first Environmental Commissioner. Ms. Ligeti was most recently Principal, Sheppard Campus, Seneca College and Chair of the School of Legal and Public Administration. Prior to that, she had been legal counsel, Canadian Environmental Law Association, and was in general practice with Iler, Campbell and Associates. JUNE 10, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/94 B99 SECTION 11 - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 14. ENVIRONMENTAL BILL OF RIGHTS (CONTD.) IMPACT ON AUTHORITY PROGRAMS The purpose of the legislation is to provide public input to and comment on provincial decision - making as it may affect the environment. Conservation authorities are not included within provincial ministries' SEVs nor are authorities expected to draft their own SEVs. As noted in September's report, certain of our activities will be subject to the provisions of the Environmental Bill of Rights. The specific inclusions are to be determined in consultation with the Ministries of Environment and Energy (MOEE) and Natural Resources (MNR). Since the objective of the legislation is to provide uniform public participation in environmentally significant decision making, the two factors which are critical in determining what might be covered by the legislation are the nature and extent of the potential environmental significance and the opportunities which already exist for public participation. As provincial ministry staff identify their own requirements, Authority staff will continue to work with them and with the ACAO to determine our requirements. MOEE, during 1994, will be the first ministry to be subject to the requirements of the legislation. MNR's policies and acts will be on the registry with those of the other twelve ministries, on April 1, 1995, and will be fully subject to EBR on April 1, 1996. Authority staff are reviewing the fourteen ministries' Statements of Environmental Values and will report with recommendations prior to the August 15th deadline for comments. 15.

INTERIM GREENSPACE PROTECTION AND ACQUISITION PROJECT 1993 -1995 FLOOD PLAIN AND CONSERVATION COMPONENT (CONTD.) - Humber River Valley, Kleinburg Hills Estates Limited Property AND FURTHER THAT completion of this transaction be conditional upon the availability of funding. CARRIED BACKGROUND The subject property containing 67.53 acres, more or less, consists of a proposed 14 lot estate residential subdivision, together with an additional area of flood plain and conservation land situate in the middle of the Humber River Valley immediately northwest of Kleinburg, east of Nashville. The proposed residential subdivision sits on land above the flood area in the middle of lands regulated by the Authority in this area. In order to obtain access to the proposed subdivision which would be situate in the middle of the Humber Valley, substantial damage to the wall of the valley and removal of substantial vegetation and trees would occur. The owners, during 1993 and early 1994, agreed to delay construction and servicing of this site while the Authority had the opportunity of attempting to negotiate a satisfactory purchase price for the acquisition of the property. The transaction approved by Authority Meeting #1/94 on March 25, 1994, with Kleinburg Hills Estates Limited was subject to the Authority selling 12 acres of Authority owned tableland on the south side of Rutherford Road to the City of Vaughan to fund the purchase. The Authority was unable to complete a suitable arrangement with the City of Vaughan. It is now proposed that this transaction be funded from the sale of the 12 acre parcel plus an additional 3 acres to The York Region Board of Education (Item 4 of these minutes). Resolution #A48/94, which is proposed to be rescinded, approved the purchase of this property at a total potential acquisition price of $2,025,000; consisting of $1,635,000 payable in cash and $390,000 by an income tax receipt plus an option to purchase four acres of Authority owned land in the Etobicoke Creek Watershed at a price of $12,000. The precise amount of the income tax component was subject to minor modification in the event Kleinburg Hills Estates Limited proceeded with the purchase of the four acre surplus Authority parcel. Under this revised transaction the total potential acquisition price and the option to purchase arrangements on the four acres is unchanged, however; the cash payment has been increased by $115,000 and the income tax receipt amount reduced by $115,000. The increase in the cash . requirement by Kleinburg Hills Estates Limited is based on the following: (a) The transaction approved on March 25, 1994, was based on the City of Vaughan providing the total purchase price to the Authority in escrow pending receipt of an Order -In- Council upon obtaining early vacant possession, with Kleinburg Hills Estates Limited being entitled to receive any interest on $1,635,000. The transaction, as arranged with The York Region Board of Education, calls for a deposit of $250,000 at the time the agreement is executed with the balance to be paid on closing. B120 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/94, JULY 8, 1994 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 3. INTERIM GREENSPACE PROTECTION AND ACQUISITION PROJECT 1993 -1995 FLOOD PLAIN AND CONSERVATION COMPONENT (CONTD.) - Humber River Valley, Kleinburg Hills Estates Limited Property While the $250,000 will be placed in an interest producing account with Kleinburg Hills Estates Limited entitled to receive this interest, the balance of the funds required to complete the purchase will not be available until October, due to our requirement of obtaining Order -In- Council. (b) Kleinburg Hills Estates Limited has expended additional money in preparation of their application for a permit under Ontario Regulation 158 for construction of the access road and lot grading; (c) Additional interest costs incurred by Kleinburg Hills Estates Limited in carrying the subdivision since March of 1994. The parcel which Kleinburg Hills Estates Limited is being given the opportunity to purchase, consists of a landlocked remnant parcel of table land in the vicinity of Advance Blvd. in the City of Brampton which had been the site of earlier dumping and maintenance concerns. Staff were in the preliminary stage of exploring alternatives for disposal. Discussions have been carried out with officials of the provincial government and a representative of the former owner, neither of which expressed any interest in purchasing the parcel at any amount of money. While it has been agreed to allow Kleinburg Hills Estates Limited to have an option to purchase the property, it has been made very clear to the owners that the Planning Act and provincial approvals to complete a sale would be required and while the Authority would not object to the approvals, there is no certainty that the required approvals will be obtained. Whether or not Kleinburg Hills Estates Limited proceed with this purchase will not affect the purchase of the 67.53 acres being acquired from them by the Authority. RATIONALE The entire holding is situate within the Authority's Master Plan of acquisition in the Humber River Watershed. FINANCIAL DETAILS The proposed funding for this acquisition will be from a land sale to The York Region Board of Education. In the event funding is not available, this purchase will not be completed. VALUATION Independent appraisals are at hand, the details of which are as follows: Brian J. Wagner, A.A.C.I. of Wagner and Andrew Appraisals Limited S1 ,850,000. John S.

CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #2/94, a 12 acre parcel of Authority owned table land was declared as surplus to the requirements of the Authority. Authority staff was authorized and directed to take whatever action was required to complete the sale of this land adjacent to the holding of the City of Vaughan at the south east corner of Rutherford Road and Islington Avenue to the City of Vaughan. A proposed purchase of the Kleinburg Hills Estates Limited property, located a short distance away in the middle of the Humber River Valley, was approved at Authority Meeting #2/94. It is intended that funding from the sale of the surplus lands would be utilized to facilitate the proposed purchase. It was made clear that the proposed sale to the City of Vaughan required approval of the Council of the City of Vaughan. In spite of staff support for the Authority proposal, the Committee of the Whole directed City of Vaughan staff to make a counter proposal to the Authority at an amount of $50,000 per acre. Approval of the Council of the City of Vaughan was not forthcoming. However, staff of the City of Vaughan advised Authority staff that The York Region Board of Education was interested in acquiring a secondary school site in the Woodbridge /Kleinburg area. Authority staff have had a number of meetings and discussions with officials from The York Region Board of Education for the surplus lands under essentially the same conditions of sale that were negotiated with the City of Vaughan. To facilitate a school site, 15 acres as opposed to 12 acres are required. An additional 3 acres of table land is available at this location and technical staff have confirmed it is not required for either flood control or regional recreation development. Because it is proposed that the land be sold to a public body, it is respectfully suggested that no additional public consultation is required. B124 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/94, JULY 8, 1994 SECTION 1 - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 5. SALE OF AUTHORITY OWNED LAND TO THE YORK REGION BOARD OF EDUCATION (CONTD.) - Vicinity of Boyd Conservation Area, South of Rutherford Road RATIONALE The subject land consists of table land beyond the area which would today be requested for acquisition under the Authority's current Land Acquisition Policies. The sale of this land will allow the Authority to achieve and meet its objective in bringing a parcel of privately owned land situate in the middle of the Humber Valley, threatened by development, into public ownership. Through the sale of these lands to the York Region Board of Education, the Authority is able to achieve some of its broader objectives. The York Region Board of Education is committed to developing a natural sciences and conservation oriented program for the school to be constructed at this site. This will complement and support the activities already occurring throughout the Boyd Conservation Area. In addition, The York Region Board of Education is able to reduce their capital and operating costs through the proposed sharing of facilities at the West Vaughan Community Centre, including parking which alone reduces their land requirements by 2.5 acres. The integration of community services and sharing of facilities is essential in reducing land and energy consumption and overall costs for public agencies. FINANCIAL DETAILS It is proposed that the funding from this land sale to The York Region Board of Education will be used to complete the purchase of the Kleinburg Hills Estates Limited property which is the subject of a separate report to be considered at this meeting. 6.

On March 26, 1993, under Resolution #A55/93, the Authority granted a one year extension expiring September 30, 1993, on similar terms and conditions to the earlier lease arrangement. A report was brought forward again on September 24, 1993, recommending the granting of another one year extension.

MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO VALLEY AND SHORELINE REGENERATION PROJECT 1992 - 1996 - Etobicoke Creek Landfill Site Erosion Control Project KEY ISSUE To proceed with the erosion protection to a former landfill site adjacent to Etobicoke Creek in the City of Etobicoke. Res. #E88/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Lois Hancey Jim Witty THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT staff be directed to proceed with the final engineering and construction of erosion control works adjacent to the landfill site on the east side of Etobicoke Creek, north of The Queensway, in Etobicoke, at a total estimated cost of $385,000 under the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Valley and Shoreline Regeneration Project 1992 - 1996, subject to receipt of all necessary approvals and subject to confirmation by the City of Etobicoke that the City will contribute 50% or $192,500 towards the cost of the project. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Meeting #11/92, January 22, 1993, the Authority, under Resolution #A219/92, directed staff to provide technical assistance and arrange for permission for City of Etobicoke staff and /or its agents to enter Authority property for the purposes of carrying out an erosion and leachate control study at a former landfill site on the Etobicoke Creek. This report also noted that the Authority may be requested to cost share in the construction of any erosion control and leachate control works proposed on our lands. Following this, the City of Etobicoke conducted a preliminary hydrogeological and geotechnical investigation of the abandoned landfill site between Dundas Street and The Queensway Avenue. This study area encompassed the lands along the east side of Etobicoke Creek. The affected lands are owned by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (MTRCA). The findings of the preliminary engineering study carried out by Golders Associates Ltd., dated July, 1993, indicated that large scale remediation of the soils or installation of a leachate system was not warranted; however, they were concerned about the existing erosion processes. As a result, the report recommended that final engineering be carried out to determine the extent and nature of the remedial works required. A meeting was held in July, 1993, with the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MOEE) and the City of Etobicoke to discuss the issues and concerns with respect to the landfill. The Authority was identified as the agency responsible for taking the lead role in addressing the erosion and slope stability concerns. Based on the July meeting and on the strength of the investigation and recommendations outlined in the report prepared by Golders Associates, the Authority prepared a project report and submitted it to the province requesting funds to carry out the additional soils investigation and the required remedial works in 1994. The site was ranked by the province and therefore, is eligible for funding; however, it did not rank high enough for regular grant. Staff is in receipt of requests from MOEE, JULY 8, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/94 B129 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 9. MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO VALLEY AND SHORELINE REGENERATION PROJECT 1992 - 1996 (CONTD.) - Etobicoke Creek Landfill Site Erosion Control Project City of Etobicoke, Metro Councillor Blake Kinahan, and the Alderwood Environmentalists to carry out the necessary erosion control works. As a result of the on -going erosion, the potential for pollution, and the concerns expressed by a number of agencies and citizens, staff is recommending that the proposed erosion control work proceed in 1994. RATIONALE Several sections of the old landfill site have become exposed by erosion of the river banks. Garbage is being washed into the river with each major flow and the situation is deteriorating rapidly. The site needs to be stabilized now. Since the site is a former Etobicoke landfill, it can be argued that Etobicoke should be solely responsible for repairs. However, it is erosion related to the river and possible changes in the river basin hydrology that are contributory to the erosion of the landfill. It therefore appears that a joint project between the City of Etobicoke and MTRCA is the most equitable and expedient way of resolving the problem. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE The estimated costs for carrying out the final engineering and erosion control works at the locations are as follows: Engineering $ 15,000. Access Preparation & Maintenance 10,000. Sediment Control 12,000. Riverbank Protection 223,000. Slope Remediation 60,000. Restoration and Revegetation 35,000. Contingencies 30,000. TOTAL $385 000. MOEE has confirmed that the proposed erosion control work is exempt under the Environmental Assessment Act; however, staff will ensure that the works get approval pursuant to the Federal Fisheries Act. FINANCIAL DETAILS The work will be carried out under the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Valley and Shoreline Regeneration Project 1992 - 1996, approved at Authority Meeting #3/91, at a cost of $385,000. The City of Etobicoke will be requested to fund 50% or $192,500 towards the cost of the project. The balance of the project costs will be raised through Metro levy under the Valley and Shoreline Regeneration Project and provincial grant (Program Related Capital Funding). Staff will also investigate using other revenues to try and reduce the Metro and Provincial share. B130 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/94, JULY 8, 1994 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 10.

JULY 8, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/94 B135 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 15. DON VALLEY BRICKWORKS - Retention of Consultant for Chimney Restoration KEY ISSUE Selection of a consulting team to undertake the detailed investigation of the chimney at the Don Valley Brickworks site and develop detailed reconstruction plans and specifications. Res. #E94/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Brian Harrison Lois Hancey THAT a recommendation on the consultant selection be made at Authority Meeting #6/94, to be held July 22, 1994. CARRIED BACKGROUND All required approvals for the Don Valley Brickworks Regeneration Project have now been received and the site work needs to begin as quickly as possible. The first construction project which can begin is the restoration of the chimney. A consulting team of specialists is required to conduct the detailed investigation and prepare the restoration plans and specifications. The consulting team is being selected through a two stage process under the direction of the "Brickworks Technical Advisory Committee ". The Committee has representation from Metro Parks and Property, Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Recreation, Ministry of Natural Resources, Ministry of Environment and Energy, Borough of East York, Friends of the Valley, and the Ontario Historical Society. Expressions of Interest were invited from firms based on inquiries to the Authority from various firms as well as a listing of recognized experts provided by the Advisory Committee members. Fifteen responses were received. The Expressions of Interest were evaluated on the basis of the relevant experience of the firms in completed chimney restorations, overall expertise of the team and ability to undertake the work within a tight schedule. The Technical Advisory Committee decided to request proposals from four firms as follows: • Allan Seymour Architect, McGillivary - Architect Consulting Engineers - Halsall Associates Limited • Quadrangle Architects Limited Structural Engineers - Halsall Associates Limited • Spencer R.

LAKE ONTARIO WATERFRONT REGENERATION PROJECT 1992 -1994 -1994 Waterfront Monitoring Program, 1994 Lakefill Quality Control Program, Lab Analytical Services KEY ISSUE The selection of Laboratory Analytical Services are required for the 1994 Waterfront Monitoring Program and the 1994 Lakefill Quality Control Program. Tender Opening Sub - Committee #8/94 opened tender RMS 94/01 prior to the Executive Committee Meeting. Res. #E95/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Richard O'Brien Lois Hancey THAT Tender RMS94 -01 for the Laboratory Analytical Services required for the 1994 Waterfront Monitoring Program and the 1994 Lakefill Quality Control Program be awarded to Ortech Laboratories for the total tendered price of $66,089.62. CARRIED BACKGROUND Since 1975, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (MTRCA) has conducted environmental monitoring programs to describe biological, physical and chemical conditions in the vicinity of waterfront parks. Special studies have been conducted to examine the sediment quality, water quality, sediment deposition rates, bottom substrate documentation, biomonitoring surveys using freshwater clams, and currents associated with waterfront parks. The 1994 Program includes analyses forming part of the environmental studies in Colonel Samuel Smith Waterfront Park. The MTRCA was designated as the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Energy representative for monitoring Iakefill quality in the Toronto area. On January 1, 1989, the MTRCA implemented the Lakefill Quality Control Program (LQCP) at all Iakefill sites within the Authority's area of jurisdiction. Under the guidelines of the LQCP, all excavation projects require bulk chemical analysis before they are accepted as Iakefill. In addition, the MTRCA takes a number of random soil samples from trucks as they enter the various Iakefill sites as a means of auditing the program's effectiveness. FINANCIAL DETAILS Tender Opening Subcommittee #8/94 opened tenders for the lab analytical service contract required for the 1994 Waterfront Monitoring Program and the 1994 Lakefill Quality Control Program. The tenders received, as quoted below, were referred to staff for review and a report. Barringer Lab Enviroclean Ltd.

REVISED PROJECT FOR THE ETOBICOKE MOTEL STRIP WATERFRONT PARK (MARCH, 1993) - Consultant Selection for Soils Investigation KEY ISSUE To retain the services of geotechnical consultants to perform engineering analysis of soil conditions as well as to collect soil samples for environmental testing. Res. #E96/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Jim Witty Richard O'Brien THAT the proposal for geotechnical analysis and environmental sampling for Etobicoke Motel Strip, from Shaheen & Peaker Limited, be accepted at the revised upset limit of $9,500 (including GST). CARRIED BACKGROUND The preliminary grading plan for the Public Amenity Scheme requires the removal of a large amount of earth fill material from the site. This earth fill must be sampled and tested in order to determine its suitability for use as lakefill or to determine other disposal options. In addition, the City of Etobicoke requires engineering soils analysis to assist in the design for the proposed site servicing and roadway. Realizing there are potential savings in economy by combining efforts, Authority staff agreed to coordinate one geotechnical investigation to provide the required information to both the City of Etobicoke and the Authority. A final cost - sharing formula will be finalized once proposals are received. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE The geotechnical consultant will drill up to twenty -three boreholes at various depths throughout the site for the purpose of collecting representative soil samples. Twenty soil samples will be provided to MTRCA staff who will in turn submit them to a laboratory for chemical analysis. The geotechnical consultant will collect additional samples as required from eight of the boreholes for the purpose of conducting laboratory analysis of engineering properties. A final report will be submitted which will document the borehole locations, laboratory results and the consultant's recommendations for design of underground site servicing and roads. The environmental testing and analysis will provide direction on what material meets the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Fill Quality Guidelines and could be utilized in implementing the Etobicoke Motel Strip Public Amenity Scheme project. RATIONALE Three proposals for geotechnical analysis and environmental sampling were received as follows: - Shaheen & Peaker Ltd. 56,313.00 - Terraprobe Ltd. $15,408.00 - Gartner Lee $22,400.45 All proposal costs include the Goods and Services Tax. JULY 8, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/94 B139 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 17. REVISED PROJECT FOR THE ETOBICOKE MOTEL STRIP WATERFRONT PARK (MARCH, 1993) (CONTD.) - Consultant Selection for Soils Investigation Authority staff have reviewed all three proposals with City of Etobicoke staff and are satisfied that the low bidder, Shaheen & Peaker Limited, can complete the work in accordance with the Terms of Reference. It was also decided that additional boreholes should be added to the Terms of Reference as requested by the City of Etobicoke. The additional drilling, testing and engineering is estimated to cost up to an additional $3,000. It is therefore recommended that Shaheen & Peaker Limited be awarded the assignment to an estimated cost of $9,500 including G.S.T. FINANCIAL DETAILS The cost of the work will be shared by the City of Etobicoke and the Authority, with the Authority paying approximately $3,000 under the Revised Project for environmental testing. The remainder of the costs ($6,500) would be the responsibility of the City of Etobicoke in accordance with the terms under the Partnership Agreement for the Revised Project. Funds are budgeted in the Revised Project for the Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park (March 1993), account no. 208 -82. 18.

GRAPHICS CAMERA AND FILM PROCESSOR - Purchase for Administration Printing Operations KEY ISSUE This report recommends the acquisition of a graphics camera and negative processor to reduce the costs of making plates at a film house. Res. #E100/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Jim Witty Richard O'Brien THAT the proposal from Eskofot Canada to provide an Eskofot 6026S Vertical Camera and an Eskofot 1042 Rapid Access Processor be accepted as it meets Authority requirements at an acceptable price. THAT staff be directed to take the necessary action to give effect thereto. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Authority head office printing operation has had a plate processor since 1987. It is capable of handling a very basic job - artwork without fine detail or photographs. The more complicated jobs are sent to a film house to produce negatives and plates to print the job. The small processor is now obsolete. Plate material for this small in -house processor is no longer available and for the past six months staff have been sending all artwork to a film house. Staff has reviewed the Authority's printing needs with the intent of doing more work in- house. Better quality control, lower prices and a quicker turnaround time are just a few of the benefits of going this route. JULY 8, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/94 B141 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 21. GRAPHICS CAMERA AND FILM PROCESSOR (CONTD.) - Purchase for Administration Printing Operations Equipment Requirements One consideration is the need to make better use of printing equipment and time because new equipment is far too costly and beyond budget allocations. Used or demonstration equipment at a maximum of two or three years old have been considered. The market for good, two to three year old equipment is limited. Equipment older than this would involve costly repairs after a short period of use. Selection Process Automated or semi automated machines enable staff to operate equipment with minimal training. Film processors that replenish and periodically recirculate chemistry enhance the life of the chemistry. Ease of use, the optics of the camera and the ability to work with little change in the operation of the Print Room were also taken into account when looking at equipment. When good used equipment becomes available, it must be acted upon quickly. Demonstrator equipment is the ideal route for the following reasons: • cost savings of 30 - 40 %; • warranty the same as if a new machine; • support and training available at no additional cost; • near brand new equipment. CONCLUSION The regular tendering process is difficult for demonstrator or used equipment. Staff have evaluated comparative new equipment from several manufacturers. Purchase of new equipment will cost in the order of $25,000. The Eskofot Canada demonstration equipment can be acquired at a total cost of $16,054, a savings of about $9,000 compared to new equipment. Staff have been shown a demonstration of the equipment and find it in showroom condition. The purchase of the 6026S Vertical camera and the 1042 Rapid Access Film Processor meet the Authority's needs at a price within the approved budget. If staff continue farming out artwork to a film house for negatives and plates, the additional cost would be about $11,000 per year. FUNDING Funding is provided for in the 1994 Budget.

INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF CITY AND REGIONAL PLANNERS (ISOCARP) -Award for Urban Ecology KEY ISSUE "The Don Watershed Regeneration Plan" has been awarded first prize in the International Society of City and Regional Planners (ISoCaRP) International Competition for Urban Ecology. Res. E #101/94 Moved by: Seconded by: THAT the staff report, dated 1994.07.07, be received for information; Brian Harrison Lois Hancey AND FURTHER THAT two Authority staff, Ms. Sonya Meek and Mr. Bernard McIntyre, be authorized to attend the 1994 ISoCaRP Congress in Prague, Czech Republic, September 4 to 10, 1994 to receive the award at a total cost not to exceed $3500. AMENDMENT Res. #E102/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Lois Hancey Paul Palleschi THAT congratulations be extended to Ms. Meek, Mr. McIntyre, and all Authority staff involved in the Don Watershed Task Force for a job well done. THE AMENDMENT WAS CARRIED THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS CARRIED BACKGROUND The International Society of City and Regional Planners (ISoCaRP) is an association of environmental planners with some 430 members from about 50 countries. Founded in 1965, the main objective of the Society is to create a platform for the exchange between planners from different countries in order to promote a better understanding of planning practice, research, and education. In addition to organizing an annual congress, the Society sponsors a biannual international competition for young planners. The aim of the 1994 ISoCaRP competition was "to generate a wide range of stimulating and feasible ideas and applications in city and regional planning in search of sustainable development with the help of innovative application of ecological principles ". Each entry had to include a discussion of the innovative approach taken and a description of three projects planned using the approach. To be eligible, entries had to be submitted by a young planner (under age 35) who contributed significantly to the projects. As an environmental planner Sonya Meek, an Authority staff member, prepared an entry for this competition on behalf of the Don Watershed Task Force, members of the consulting team of Gartner Lee Limited and Paul Cosburn and Associates, and the Authority. Our entry described the process followed to develop the "Forty Steps to a New Don" and three "concept site" plans, as examples of how sustainable development can be achieved in an urban watershed. JULY 8, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/94 B143 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 22. INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF CITY AND REGIONAL PLANNERS (ISOCARP) (CONTD.) -Award for Urban Ecology Two first prizes were awarded out of twelve entries from around the world (the other first prize was awarded to an entry from India, entitled "An Approach to Ecologically Sound Urban Development in Developing Countries "). The first prize award entails the following: • NLG 15,000 (Netherlands Guilders are approx. $11,250 Cdn); • publication of our entry for distribution worldwide; • exhibition of our entry at the 1994 ISoCaRP Congress in Prague, Czech Republic; and • participation fee (NLG 650) and accommodation costs (NLG 240) for one representative at the 1994 ISoCaRP Congress. Attendance of at least one representative at the Prague Congress is expected. We believe that the Authority could realize significant benefits by sending two representatives to the Congress, namely Sonya Meek and Bernard McIntyre. Both Authority staff contributed significantly to the development of the "Forty Steps to a New Don ", by analysing water management issues and biological systems within the watershed, as well as providing technical advice to numerous other aspects.of the planning process. Both staff will play a critical role in the preparation of a Humber Watershed Plan and will continue to provide input to development of Authority policy and programs. The Congress/Young Planners Workshop will allow participants from around the world to work together sharing ideas about three case studies, which focus on riverside revitalization, railway station reconstruction, and the revitalization of derelict industrial land. The Congress itself will expose participants to international speakers addressing the theme of "Expanding Demands on Planning ". Topics include: impact of changing economy on local policy, new knowledge in planning practice, and learning from the past. Attendance at this Congress will also provide valuable staff training. Exposure to innovations from around the world and discussions with practitioners from beyond our regular communications network will serve to broaden the Authority's perspective on urban watershed management and ecology. This award signifies the innovation, creativity and high standards of work achieved by the Authority and its colleagues. Recognition by this renowned International Society and subsequent publication of our work will heighten awareness of the Conservation Authority, as a unique, and effective water management agency within the global community. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Authority staff are in the process of preparing a communication plan to disseminate news of this award to appropriate audiences within the Metro Region, Ontario and Canada in conjunction with the implementation of the Task Force Report. Funding for the ISoCaRP competitions is provided by the IKEA Foundation.

The reality is, however, that nc agenda is circulated and anyone with a concern can attend the monthly meeting. Fewer than ten people did come to that particular meeting, and four of us were opposed. So very few local residents are even aware of the issue. S:ccept for the sign in front of the building, it has recieved no publicity.

B166 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/94, AUGUST 12, 1994 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 2. COMFORT LIVING HOUSING COOPERATIVE -2745 Islington Avenue, City of Etobicoke KEY ISSUE Staff is in receipt of an official plan amendment and zoning application to permit an 82 unit addition and amenity facilities to the existing building at 2745 Islington Avenue, City of Etobicoke, on the Humber River valley south of Finch Avenue. Res. #E109/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Brian Harrison Richard O'Brien THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the staff report concerning the proposed addition at 2745 Islington Avenue, City of Etobicoke, be received; THAT staff continue to discuss revisions to the current development applications with the proponent and their consultants and City of Etobicoke staff to minimize impacts on the valley corridor; AND FURTHER THAT staff report back to the Executive Committee regarding the decisions and actions of the City of Etobicoke with respect to these applications. CARRIED BACKGROUND Pursuant to Executive Committee Resolution #89/92 adopted at its Meeting #4/92, held on June 12, 1992, staff is to report to the Executive Committee for direction on how to proceed with site specific development proposals where there may be conflicts between municipal council objectives and Authority policies. The Comfort Living Cooperative is a 125 unit, 12 storey apartment building sited along the sideslope of the Humber River valley, extending from the top of the valley wall to the bottom of the valley floor and terminating approximately 10 metres from the regional flood plain. Beyond the limits of the existing building and parking lot area, the southern third of the property is wooded with a drainage feature flowing in an easterly direction from Islington Avenue. The entire property, with the exception of a small piece of tableland, is fill regulated pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158 and a permit will be required from the Executive Committee in order to accommodate this proposal. In April of 1991, staff was circulated a preliminary concept plan by the City of Etobicoke regarding an expansion of the Comfort Living Cooperative at 2745 Islington Avenue in the City of Etobicoke. Staff reviewed the preliminary concept plan and advised the proponent that the proposed addition did not comply with the overall programs and policies of the MTRCA; specifically the addition was sited along a well vegetated steep ravine and would entail the enclosure of an existing drainage feature. The proponent was advised to revise their concept plan such that the existing development footprint would be maintained. AUGUST 12, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/94 B167 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 2. COMFORT LIVING HOUSING COOPERATIVE (CONTD.) -2745 Islington Avenue, City of Etobicoke On June 10, 1994, staff was circulated a revised application along with a draft environmental report prepared jointly by Bird and Hale and Cosburn Patterson Wardman Limited. Additionally, a recommendation of Council was received requesting an expeditious review of the revised submission with a view to having it tabled at the City of Etobicoke's Planning and Development Committee meeting scheduled to be held August 16, 1994. Authority staff reviewed the revised submission and environmental report and provided written comments to the City of Etobicoke (see Attachments 1 and 2, page B169-174). MTRCA PROGRAM ISSUES A review of the revised preliminary concept plan and the associated environmental analysis prepared by Bird & Hale /Cosburn Patterson Wardman indicates that the proposed siting of the addition has been altered such that it no longer encroaches on the steeper side slope area of the adjacent ravine, but rather at the more gently sloping toe and vegetated valley floor to the east and south east. Additionally, it is now proposed that the drainage feature be relocated through the wooded area rather than enclosed. Based on the applications filed with the City of Etobicoke Planning Department, the revised proposal entails adding a second apartment building 15 storeys in height at the rear of the property, consisting of 82 units in addition to amenity space and parking. This proposal would more than double the existing building footprint and increase the gross floor area by more than 80 %. While the revised submission is a significant improvement over the earlier proposals, staff are still concerned regarding the overall cumulative impacts which would result from the further introduction of buildings and structures within this valley corridor. The cumulative effects of the Toss of portions of valley and stream corridor can result in: • reduced water quality; • loss of diversity and extent of environmental communities; • loss of wildlife habitat, aquatic habitat, wildlife numbers and diversity; • loss of open space; • loss of potential for reinstating and restoring a natural environment; • loss of conveyance /storage /recharge /discharge function; • increased risk associated with slope stability. The Bird and Hale /Cosburn Patterson Wardman Limited environmental report investigated the biophysical resources within and adjacent to the property limits, to evaluate the resources in terms of opportunities and constraints related to development limits. Additionally, Authority policies were reviewed with respect to their applicability to the site. B168 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/94, AUGUST 12, 1994 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 2. COMFORT LIVING HOUSING COOPERATIVE (CONTD.) -2745 Islington Avenue, City of Etobicoke From a policy perspective, the environmental report assessed the merits of this proposal against the draft Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program of the Authority (1992). Pursuant to Section 5.3 of the draft document, development and /or redevelopment is allowed within developed valley and stream corridors subject to the fulfilment of a number of criteria related to the siting of the proposal. The assessment undertaken by Authority staff concluded that this proposal is not in keeping with the draft policies and that an encroachment of this magnitude would have a valleyland impact and would be in contradiction to this Authority's attempts towards protecting and rehabilitating valley systems. Accordingly, staff recommended the proponent examine the feasibility of containing the proposed addition within the existing development footprint, thus eliminating the need for further encroachment along the valley floor and slopes. filkAUGUST 12, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/94 or the metropolitan for ATTACHMENT 1 5 shoreham drive, downs' „61 -6898 July 15, 1994 BY FAX AND MAIL, Mr. Karel K. Dewaele Director, Development Control Planning Department The City of Etobicoke 399 The West Mall Etobicoke, Ontario M9C 2Y2 Dear Mr. Dewaele: B169 CFN 20735 Re: Proposed OPA & Zoning File Z -2134 (Revised) Comfort Living Housing Cooperative Incorporated 2745 Islington Avenue, City of Etobicoke This will acknowledge receipt of the above noted revised planning application and your request for comments dated June 28, 1994. Authority staff have now had an opportunity to review this application along with the accompanying report prepared by Bird & Hale and the latest preliminary site plan prepared by Cole Sherman & Associates (drawing 09590 -A1 dated June 20, 194) and we offer the following comments. As previously noted in our comments of September 15, 1993 the existing building at 2745 Islington Avenue is situated Along the sideslope of the Humber River valley, extending from the top of the valley wall to the bottom of the valley floor, terminating approximately 10 metres from the regional floodpiain. Enclosed we have provided an excerpt from our Flood and Fill Line mapping for this reach of the Humber River, upon which we have demarcated the subject property in red, the regional fioodline In blue and the fill regulation line In green. In accordance with the Authority's Fill, Construction & Alteration to Waterways Regulation (Ontario Regulation 158), a permit Is required from the Executive Comniittee of the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority prior to any of the following works taking place: construct any building or structure or permit any building or structure to be constructed in or on A pond or swamp or in any area susceptible to flooding during a regional storm; • place or dump fill or allow fill to be placed or dumped in the areas described In the schedules whether such fill Is already located upon such area, or brought to on such area from some other place or places; • straighten, change, divert or Interfere In any way with the existing channel of a river, creek, stream or watercourse. .../2 B170 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/94, AUGUST 12, 1994 Mr. Karel K. Dewaele July 15, 1994 A review of the revised preliminary concept plan and the associated environmental analysis prepared by Bird & Hale indicates that the proposed siting of the addition has been altered such that it no longer encroaches on the steeper side slope area of the adjacent ravine, but rather at the more gently sloping toe and vegetated valley floor to the east and south east. Additionally, it is proposed that the intermittent drainage swale be relocated through the wooded area rather than enclosed. The environmental analysis report prepared by Bird & Hale also examined this proposal related to a draft management program of the Authority entitled draft Valley & Stream Corridor Management Program (1992). This document has not been finalized by this Authority and is currently undergoing modifications related to certain policy directions. We advised that Authority staff are not supportive of this current application for the following: • The valley and stream corridors within the Greater Toronto Region are significant natural resources which act as the natural water collection systems for the watershed. These corridors perform ecological functions which include nutrient and sediment transport; provision of fish and wildlife habitat and migration routes; air quality improvement; noise level attenuation; moderation of microclimates; and a maintenance of genetic pool for native flora and fauna. They contain and link many of the provincially, regionally and locally designated significant areas. Valley and stream corridors are valued landscape units providing diversity and contributing to environmental quality. Today the valley and stream corridors are recognized as the backbone of the greenspace resources of the region. Urban dwellers, health officials and planners all recognize the fundamental association between the quality of life in the Greater Toronto Region and the presence and accessibility to greenspace. This current proposal would result in further loss to the greenspace system and to functions. • Within the Authority's jurisdiction many valley and stream corridors have been substantially altered as a result of both urban and rural use. These alterations have included the removal of forest vegetation, the filling and Toss of valley stream corridor features, and the piping, straightening and channelization of watercourses. Such changes have resulted in the degradation and Toss of these resources. The existing development and development within this reach of the Humber River characterizes these problems. The approval of By -law 1980 -251 allowed for the existing development at 2745 Islington Avenue to encroach within the valley feature without encroaching upon either the floodplain or the heavily vegetated ravine at the south end of the property. However, this By -law was approved prior to current MTRCA, Metro and Etobicoke valleyland policies and would not be supported based on present day policies. - As an example, the recent development on the adjacent Lutheran Church site at 2705 Islington Avenue was required to comply with current valleyland management policies (ie. development of new structures confined to tableland) with special provisions being approved with respect to the public ownership of valleylands (excluding flood plain lands). ..../3 AUGUST 12, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/94 B171 Mr. Karel K. Dewaele July 15, 1994 • By -law 1980 -251 took a number of site specific provisions into account, including but not limited to the establishment of a building- envelope and maximum height and density factors. It is staff's understanding that the existing development achieves the maximum density approved under this by -law without taking up the entire building envelope. The revised proposal which is before us today would more than double the existing building footprint and increase the gross floor area by more than 80 %. From the valley floor, one would see a 15 storey building (5 storey parking garage plus 10 storey apartment) sited 3 metres from the regional floodline. Additionally, it would appear that the calculation of the floor space index includes lands below top -of- bank /valley rim. It is also staff's understanding that the original development at 2745 Islington Avenue was in front of the Ontario Municipal Board related to an issue of density (35 vs. 37 units per acre). This current development proposal would result in a density of 61 units per acre, a substantial intensification from the 35 units per acre which was approved by the Board. While it is important to recognize existing land use patterns, this development proposal is significant in scale and may result in additional redevelopment of this magnitude within this reach of the Humber River. This will result in further valleyland impacts. In summary, Authority staff have serious concerns regarding this proposal and the overall cumulative impacts which would result from the further introduction of buildings and structures within this valley corridor. While there is no question that the existing building at 2745 Islington Avenue is sited within the valley corridor, staff are of the opinion that an encroachment of this magnitude will have a valleyland impact and would be in contradiction to this Authority's attempts towards protecting and rehabilitating valley systems. Accordingly, we recommend this application be refused and the proponent be requested to examine a scaled down addition which is more sensitive to the valley feature and which maintains the existing building footprint as a development. envelope. We trust that these comments will be of assistance. Authority staff will be present at the Planning and Development Committee meeting of August 16, 1994 to answer any questions which may arise.

Authority staff are of the opinion that our earlier letter appropriately responds to the subject report; however we provide this additional analysis as per your request. As noted in our earlier correspondence, the Bird & Hale / Cosburn Patterson Wardman report examined the proposal related to a draft management program of the Authority entitled draft Valley & Stream Corridor Management Program (1982) which has not as of yet been finalized by the Authority and is currently undergoing modifications related to certain policy directions. Section 5.3 of this draft document addresses developed valley and stream corridors and the potential for development and /or redevelopment on the basis of whether it is considered major or minor in nature. In the Instance of this application the proposed addition exceeds 50% of the total area of the existing building, therefore it would be categorized as a major addition. Subsection 5.3.13 details the criteria which must be achieved for a major addition to be permitted. The table on the following page is the assessment undertaken by Authority staff relative to this proposal and notes whether these criteria were addressed .../2 AUGUST 12, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/94 B173 Mr. Karel K. Dewaele 2 July 29, 1994 CRITERIA FULFILLED? • is not located within the Regulatory Flood Plain of a valley or stream corridor • is not located on the•valley wall of a valley corridor • is not located within the active erosion zone of a valley corridor, either adjacent t6 the top of slope or toe of slope unless it can be demonstrated that the proposed development will be safe over an assumed life of 100 years • does not create or aggravate . erosion or slope instability on 'adjacent properties • is not located within the active erosion zone of a river channel • minimizes any impacts on the vegetation community association or function of a Environmentally Significant Area or the loss of its significant feature • minimizes potential impacts to the function or structure of the riparian vegetation community • includes sediment control during construction and subsequent phases until such time as erodible areas have been vegetated /stabilized • YES - the proposal is not within the regulatory flood plain • NO - the existing structure and proposed addition are located on the valley wall • NO - the proposed structure is within the active erosion zone of the valley corridor • not known • YES - the proposal is not within such a zone • not known - there is definitely a Toss to the existing vegetation community, however this has been quantified. Additionally, there may be impacts on the Thistletown Oxbow Environmentally Significant Area immediately east of this property • not known YES.- the proposal has addressed sediment control .../3 B174 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/94, AUGUST 12, 1994 Mr. Karel K. Dewaele - 3 - July 29, 1994 The Bird & Hale /Cosburn, Patterson, Wardman report prepared in support of this development proposal generally inventoried the existing characteristics of the property and tried to assess the individual areas from the perspective of development potential. However, we do not feel the report sufficiently addressed concerns associated with the incremental and cumulative net Toss of the original features and functions associated with the valley system in this area. The cumulative effects of the loss of portions of valley and stream corridors can result in: • reduced water quality; • loss of diversity and extent of environmental communities; • loss of wildlife habitat, aquatic habitat, wildlife numbers and diversity; • loss of open space; • loss of potential for reinstating and restoring a natural environment; • loss of conveyance /storage /recharge /and discharge functions; • increased risk associated with slope stability. Based. on the foregoing, Authority staff concluded that an encroachment of this magnitude will have a valleyland impact and would be in contradiction to this Authority's attempts towards protecting and rehabilitating valley systems. As previously noted by Authority staff, we feel that certain redevelopment potential of the subject property is possible but that said redevelopment should maintain the existing building footprint. We trust that these additional comments will be of assistance, however should further clarification be required do not hesitate. to contact the undersigned.

The Management Committee recommends the adoption of the recommendation of the Parks, Recreation and Property Committee embodied in the following communication (May 17, 1994) from the Metropolitan Clerk: Recommendation: The Parks, Recreation and Property Committee on May 16, 1994, recommended the adoption of the report dated May 6, 1994, from the Commissioner of Parks and Property respecting the renewal of lease for the Ontario Science Centre parking lot located at the southwest corner of Eglinton Avenue East and Don Mills Road in the City of North York. (Report dated May 6, 1994, addressed to the Parks, Recreation and Property Committee from the Commissioner of Parks and Property.) Recommendations: It is recommended that, subject to approval by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority: (1) authority be granted to renew the lease with The Centennial Centre of Science and Technology on the terms outlined below and in a form and content satisfactory to the Metro Solicitor; and (2) the appropriate Metro Officials be authorized to take the necessary action to give effect thereto. Background: On May 22, 1969, a ninety- nine -year lease, commencing July 1, 1965, between the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, The Centennial Centre of Science and Technology and The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, was executed for lands on which the Ontario Science Centre is situated. Part of these lands, described in Schedule D of the lease and referred to as "the parking lot ", were leased for a term of five years, computed from July 1, 1968. B178 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/94, AUGUST 12, 1994 2 Metro Council, by the adoption of Clause No. 3 of Report No. 10 of The Parks, Recreation and Property Committee on June 21 and 24, 1988, authorized the renewal of the lease for a period of five years, commencing July 1, 1988, at a rent of $30,000.00 per year, payable on the first day of July of each year, plus realty taxes, if applicable, with the lease subject to the same conditions and covenants as contained In the original lease dated May 22, 1969, except the right of renewal. By a letter dated April 5, 1993, the Ontario Science Centre indicated its Interest in renewing this part of the lease. Negotiations were conducted with Mr. Scott Fairweather, Director of Government Liaison, Ontario Science Centre, 770 Don Mills Road, North York, Ontario, M3C 1T3. Agreement has been reached on the following terms: (1) the lease shall be renewed for a further term of five years, commencing July 1, 1993; (2) the rent to be $40,000.00 per annum, net, payable on the first day of July of each year of the term, plus all applicable taxes (Including G.S.T); and all other terms and conditions shall remain the same as or similar to those In the original lease dated May 22, 1969, and the subsequent lease renewals. I am of the opinion that the above terms are fair and reasonable and I have been advised that staff of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority will recommend to the Authority that the lease be renewed.

REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM - Request for temporary working easements to facilitate the construction of a new Pickering /Ajax Water Supply Plant KEY ISSUE Receipt of a request from the Regional Municipality of Durham to provide temporary working easements, for a four year period, to facilitate the construction of a new Pickering /Ajax water supply plant at the existing water supply plant site on the south side of Lake Driveway East and east of Harwood Avenue in the Town of Ajax. Res. #E1 11 /94 Moved by: Seconded by: THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS Brian Harrison Jim Witty WHEREAS The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is in receipt of a request from the Regional Municipality of Durham to provide temporary working easement for a four year period, to facilitate the construction of a new Pickering /Ajax water supply plant on the south side of Lake Driveway East and east of Harwood Avenue in the Town of Ajax; AND WHEREAS it is in the opinion of the Authority that it is in the best interest of the Authority in furthering its objectives, as set out in Section 20 of the Conservation Authorities Act, to co- operate with the Regional Municipality of Durham in this instance; THAT a temporary working easement containing 4.584 ha (12 acres), more or less, 4.125 ha (10.19 acres) on the west side of the plant and .459 ha (1.13 acres) on the east side, be granted to the Regional Municipality of Durham for a work staging area, an access and a temporary sediment control pond, said land being Part of Lots 8 and 9, Range 2, Broken Front Concession, Town of Ajax, Regional Municipality of Durham; THAT the Authority request the approval of the Minister of Natural Resources to grant an easement across the subject land on the following terms and conditions: (a) The consideration is to be the conveyance by the Regional Municipality of Durham to the Authority, subject to the Regional Municipality of Durham retaining the necessary permanent easements to operate the water treatment plan, of a parcel of land across the plant site along the Lake Ontario shoreline containing .445 ha (1.1 acres), more or Tess, being Part of Lot 8, Range 2, Broken Front Concession, Town of Ajax, the Regional Municipality of Durham Plan 40R -5303; (b) All survey, legal and other costs incurred in completing this transaction are to be paid by the Regional Municipality of Durham; (c) All disturbed areas are to be restored to the satisfaction of the Authority after the completion of construction; (d) Public use of the pathways be maintained as much as possible during the construction; B180 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/94, AUGUST 12, 1994 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 4. REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM (CONTD.) - Request for temporary working easements to facilitate the construction of a new Pickering /Ajax Water Supply Plant (e) The Regional Municipality of Durham is to be responsible for repairs, maintenance and payment of all realty taxes on the easement area; (f) The Regional Municipality of Durham is to fully indemnify the Authority from any and all claims arising from the construction or use of the easement area; (g) Any additional considerations as deemed appropriate by the Authority solicitor. THAT said easements 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 27; 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 It has been determined that due to an unprecedented rate of growth and projected growth in the Town of Pickering and the Town of Ajax, that there is an urgent need for additional water supply capacity in the Pickering /Ajax area. After an extensive public consultation process and an exemption order with conditions under the Environmental Assessment Act, it is proposed that a new water supply plant be constructed on the existing Ajax water supply plant site. While the new plant can be accommodated on the existing site without the acquisition of additional property in accordance with the position of the Authority, the Regional Municipality of Durham has requested temporary easements required to facilitate the construction of the plant. Approximately 4.125 ha are required on the west side of the treatment plant site for construction of a temporary access road, and a construction staging area to provide space for site trailers, equipment, limited parking and storage of materials. Approximately .459 ha are required to the east to facilitate the construction of a new storm sewer and the siting of a temporary construction siltation pond. It is anticipated the easements will be required for a four year period beginning in the Fall of 1994. Extensive discussions have been held with the staff from the Regional Municipality of Durham, and the Town of Ajax, as well as the Ajax Waterfront Advisory Committee, regarding the temporary easements and the final restoration of the disturbed lands. The 4.393 ha parcel is part of a larger parcel acquired from Duffin Creek Estates Limited in August 1974, under the Waterfront Component Pickering /Ajax Sector of the Land Acquisition Project. The .459 ha parcel is part of a larger parcel acquired from the Corporation of the Town of Ajax in September of 1975 under the Waterfront Component Pickering /Ajax Sector of the Land Acquisition.

WORK TO BE DONE The easement agreement will be forwarded to the Regional Municipality of Durham for their approval and the Town of Ajax for their concurrence. 5. 7 SPRINGBANK AVENUE -Lake Ontario Waterfront, Scarborough Sector -Almut and Herbert Didszun Property This item was discussed in closed session. KEY ISSUE Status report concerning dwelling destroyed by fire situate at 7 Springbank Avenue in the City of Scarborough. Res. #E112/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Brian Harrison Jim Witty THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the staff report dated July 28, 1994, relating to 7 Springbank Avenue in the City of Scarborough be received; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to report further concerning this matter at Authority Meeting #7/94 to be held August 26, 1994. CARRIED BACKGROUND On January 27, 1982, the owners of the subject property conveyed a 0.375 acre vacant land portion of their holding, situate on the Lake Ontario shoreline at the foot of the Scarborough Bluffs, to the Authority for the nominal consideration of $2.00. The land was conveyed by the owners to facilitate shoreline protection works being carried out by the Authority across several properties from Birchmount Road easterly. B182 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/94, AUGUST 12, 1994 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 5. 7 SPRINGBANK AVENUE (CONTD.) -Lake Ontario Waterfront, Scarborough Sector -Almut and Herbert Didszun Property On January 18, 1994, the house at 7 Springbank Avenue burned down. The south half was destroyed with the north half of the residence not being salvageable. The house situate on the property was approximately forty feet from the bluff edge and was one of a number of properties in the City of Scarborough along the crest of the bluffs being constantly monitored by the Authority for public safety. Authority staff, based on the information provided to date by consultants reports, provincial guidelines for shoreline management, the recent erosion history of this area and the estimates of long term erosion, are of the opinion that there is not an adequate safe building site that would provide for the long term (100 years) safety of the structure and its occupants. Accordingly we have recommended to the City of Scarborough that a building permit not be issued. In response to the refusal of the City to issue a building permit, the matter has been brought before the Building Code Commission by the owners in attempt to obtain a building permit to reconstruct the residence. The Building Code Commission, at an initial hearing, deferred the matter to a future date in view of conflicting professional evidence as to the stability of this site for future construction. While the Authority has no obligation with respect to acquisition of the property, in response to a request from the City of Scarborough, discussions involving the owners and their insurer have been ongoing on a without prejudice basis. The insurers have advised that their architect has estimated the cost to reconstruct the dwelling is approximately $900,000 and that in the event a building permit can be obtained, they are prepared to pay the total replacement cost of construction. The Authority has been advised that in regard to this claim, the insurer has already paid an amount of $435,000 which is non recoverable. The Authority has obtained independent appraisal information as to the value of the lot based on the assumption that the property is a buildable single family residential lot and the existing foundation could be utilized in the reconstruction of the new residence. The valuation at hand in this regard reflects a range of $210,000 to $235,000. While Mr. and Mrs. Didszun advise it is their preference to reconstruct the building at this location as they have lived in this area in excess of thirty years, in view of the long term potential erosion concerns expressed by others, they would be prepared to reluctantly abandon their plans for reconstruction of the dwelling if an additional $435,000 could be paid to them. The sum of $435,000 would be made up of a final payment by the insurer as well as a portion of the purchase price being paid by the Authority on the basis that the Authority would become the owner of the land. Discussions are continuing with representatives of the insurer and the City of Scarborough and a further report will be provided to Authority Meeting #7/94, to be held August 26, 1994.

Res. #E117/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Brian Harrison Jim Witty THAT the staff report, dated August 4, 1994, and the recommendations contained therein be forwarded to the Oak Ridges Moraine Technical Working Committee as the Authority's comments with respect to The Oak Ridges Moraine Area Strategy for the Greater Toronto Area - Draft for Discussion. CARRIED B188 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/94, AUGUST 12, 1994 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 10. THE OAK RIDGES MORAINE AREA STRATEGY FOR THE GREATER TORONTO AREA (CONTD.) -Draft for Public Discussion BACKGROUND In June 1991, the Provincial Ministry of Natural Resources announced a planning study to develop a long term land use strategy for the Oak Ridges Moraine within the Greater Toronto Area. Two committees were to be created to do this work. A Technical Working Committee (TWC).was established in August, 1991. The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority have each had a representative on the TWC. A Citizens' Advisory Committee (CAC) was established in 1993. The responsibility of the CAC is to ensure that members of the public are given a full opportunity to provide both input to and comment on the proposed strategy. William Granger, Authority Chair, has been a member of the CAC. The draft Strategy proposes the long term protection and management of the ecological integrity of the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) through the protection and management of three systems: • the Natural Heritage System, • the Water Resource System, and • the Landform Conservation System. The Strategy proposes that any proposed land use not negatively impact on any of these three interrelated systems. IMPACT ON AUTHORITY POLICY AND /OR PROGRAMS The Authority has traditionally identified the principal natural resources of its area of jurisdiction as the valley and stream corridors, the Lake Ontario waterfront, and the headwaters areas of the Niagara Escarpment and the Oak Ridges Moraine. In its 1989 Greenspace Strategy, the Authority called for protection of the Moraine as both a significant Iandform and the source area of the majority of streams within Authority jurisdiction. The Authority has worked with the province, its member and local municipalities and the community since 1989 on a number of initiatives intended to manage growth within the Greater Toronto Area and to protect and enhance its environmental resources. Overall, the proposed Strategy is supportive and reinforces the goals and objectives of Authority policy and programs. There are a few areas where the Authority's program objectives may be affected by the Strategy and it is these specific instances that will be addressed in this report. There are also a number of areas where the Strategy requests an opinion and these will also form a part of this report. Detailed technical and /or editorial comments will be provided by staff to Frederick Johnson, Ministry of Natural Resources, Executive Secretary to the Technical Working Committee and will not form a part of this report. AUGUST 12, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/94 B189 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 10. THE OAK RIDGES MORAINE AREA STRATEGY FOR THE GREATER TORONTO AREA (CONTD.) -Draft for Public Discussion Valley and Stream Corridors: The ORM Strategy considers valley and stream corridors in two areas - as part of the Natural Heritage System and as part of the Water Resource System. Staff have identified gaps in coverage of certain sections of the valley and stream corridors, as defined by the Authority. It is recommended that the Authority request the TWC to use its definition of valley and stream corridors, as follows, and that these areas be protected in their entirety. "valley and stream corridor the natural resources associated with the river systems characterized by their landform, features and functions. Valley corridors are distinguished from stream corridors by the presence of a distinct landform. The boundaries of a valley corridor are determined as follows: If the valley slope is stable, a minimum of 10 metres inland from the top of valley bank or If the valley slope is not stab /e, a minimum of 10 metres inland from the predicted long term stab /e slope projected from the existing stab /e or stabilized base of the slope or from the predicted base of slope shifted as a result of stream erosion over a 100 year period. The boundaries of a stream corridor are determined as follows: A minimum of 10 metres inland from the Regulatory Flood Plain. or Within subwatersheds draining less than 125 hectares, 10 metres inland from the predicted meander belt of the watercourse, expanded as required to convey the greater of Regional or 100 year flood flows. Where a significant natural area as defined within this document is present, the valley and stream corridor boundary includes the feature /area and is set 10 metres inland from the feature /area. The exact limit of valley and stream corridor boundaries shall be determined on a site specific basis and confirmed by the local conservation authority." There is a concern that there is no mention of the Ontario Regulations adopted by Conservation Authorities along valley and stream corridors. There are other regulatory requirements, including the Authority's Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways regulation, that will continue to B190 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/94, AUGUST 12, 1994 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 10. THE OAK RIDGES MORAINE AREA STRATEGY FOR THE GREATER TORONTO AREA (CONTD.) -Draft for Public Discussion apply within the ORM. The draft Strategy leaves the impression that the ultimate plan for the ORM will address all issues related to natural resource protection and management. This is of concern to staff, in that our requirements for valley and stream corridors may be more restrictive than those proposed in the draft Strategy. It is also a concern in that the Strategy, elsewhere, proposes to take precedence over all other regulations or planning controls. It is recommended that the Strategy recognize the existence of other regulatory controls and interests and, where these are more restrictive, they should take precedence. The recognition of other requirements is an important one if certain uses are to be permitted in the Natural Heritage System which includes areas regulated by the Authority. These uses currently proposed include aggregate extraction, forestry, minor recreation and "essential" public utilities. While the strategy addresses concerns related to environmental quality it does not address the risk of flooding, erosion and slope instability associated with lands within the Water Resource System. It is recommended that the Strategy clearly identify that where any proposed uses would impact on the Authority's goals and objectives for valley and stream corridor management, these uses would be subject to the Authority's requirements. Kettle Lakes: As above, staff note a concern with respect to the proposed protection of kettle lakes through the use of a 30 m vegetative zone around the lake. While we support the vegetative buffer, we are concerned that, based on our experience, the entire catchment area should be reviewed to determine potential impacts as a result of a proposed change in land use. It is recommended that the entire drainage basin of a kettle lake needs to be considered in order to protect water quality and water quantity should a change in land use be proposed and that the nature and extent of the protective and enhancement measures required be determined through the preparation of a subwatershed /drainage area study. Protection of Non - Planted Forest Areas: The TWC and the CAC have discussed the minimum size of the areas required for protection and, as noted on page 24, are seeking input on this issue. The 30 ha minimum was recommended by the consultant based on the area required to provide habitat for interior species, specifically birds. Staff have noted a number of concerns with the 30 ha recommendation. First, it is a criteria related specifically to interior bird species, and there are other plant and animal species that do not require as large an area. Second, the Strategy does not include any requirements regarding configuration of these lands which would also be an important factor in supporting plant and animal life. Third, the TWC has recommended that the Natural Heritage System be enhanced and expanded. It would seem logical that these existing areas would be the basis for expanding the system. Finally, the difference between setting aside areas of 10 ha versus 30 ha only adds 2.6% of non - planted forest, approximately 3, 200 ha. AUGUST 12, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/94 B191 SECTION 1I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 10. THE OAK RIDGES MORAINE AREA STRATEGY FOR THE GREATER TORONTO AREA (CONTD.) -Draft for Public Discussion It is recommended that the 10 ha minimum for the protection of non - planted forest areas be used. There is a recommendation in the draft relating to the retention of 50% of all steep slopes within a subwatershed being maintained in self- sustaining vegetative cover. Where these slopes are within valley or stream corridors or where there is a potential for slope instability and erosion from the Toss of vegetation, 50% may or may not be adequate. It must be remembered that the ORM suffered serious erosion problems that resulted in major remedial planting programs both to reduce erosion and to contribute to downstream flood and sediment control by increasing infiltration. It is recommended that issues related to vegetation coverage should be determined as a part of the subwatershed planning process and should take into consideration both impacts within the ORM and downstream, within the entire watershed system, And further that the Strategy clarify that within valley and stream corridors the objective for self- sustaining vegetative cover is 100 %. Subwatershed Approach: The draft Strategy supports a subwatershed approach to assess and plan for development in those areas of the ORM where it is permitted. It is recommended that the Authority advise the TWC that it supports the subwatershed approach, And further that it is the Authority's long term objective to prepare comprehensive watershed strategies for each of the nine watersheds under its jurisdiction, including those having their headwaters in the ORM and that the subwatershed approach will be integrated into that process. Aaaprepate Resource Extraction: This has been a topic of considerable discussion at the TWC and at the public meetings held by the CAC. The industry's principal arguments for continuation and expansion into further parts of the ORM is, first, that that is where the resource is located, and second, that rehabilitation can be to a state where ecological integrity is equal to or better than prior to extraction. While recognizing the first argument, it has not been a major past practice to return exhausted pits to natural areas but rather to look at residential or recreational options that will provide a higher return. Further, the length of time between the start of excavation and the completion of site rehabilitation may be decades during which the ecological integrity of the areas is not "equal to or better than that which existed prior to excavation ". We have also noted above a real concern for potential impacts on valley and stream corridors if aggregate extraction is a permitted use in the Natural Heritage System. It is recommended that aggregate extraction not be permitted within or immediately adjacent to valley and stream corridors as defined by the Authority nor in any area where changes in the water table will affect baseflow. B192 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/94, AUGUST 12, 1994 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 10. THE OAK RIDGES MORAINE AREA STRATEGY FOR THE GREATER TORONTO AREA (CONTD.) -Draft for Public Discussion One of the "rehabilitation" uses often used for worked out pits was their use as landfill sites. It is recommended that the TWC be advised that the Authority supports the Township of Uxbridge in its request to have landfill sites for waste management purposes prohibited on the Oak Ridges Moraine in that this use would negatively affect the Natural Heritage, Water Resource and Landform Conservation systems that the Province is attempting to protect through the development of the Oak Ridges Moraine Strategy, Trails: Authority staff carried out much of the work related to the development of the trails system. This section is, therefore, consistent with proposals for trails across the Authority's area of jurisdiction. Implementation: There are a number of issues related to implementation Including: a) selection of a preferred planning mechanism to develop and administer the land use planning aspects of the Strategy b) identification and assignment of implementation responsibilities specific to the land and resource management aspects of the Strategy including the potential role of conservation authorities c) ongoing data collection, monitoring and information management, and d) the establishment of an Oak Ridges Moraine Land Trust. It is proposed that the TWC , with specific additions, prepare a five year action plan and develop a recommendation for an appropriate implementation body. It is recommended that, given the Authority's support for the objectives of the Oak Ridges Moraine Strategy and its close association with the current planning process, the Authority supports the continuation of the TWC, with appropriate additions, to finalize the Strategy and to determine a work plan and recommend funding for its implementation. The issues of the implementation option, referred to in section 9.1.3, and the implementation body, referred to in 9.2 and 9.3, need to be clarified. The implementation option appears to address the mechanism to best develop and administer the land use planning aspects of the strategy. Regardless of which of the options chosen, there will be a need to coordinate and delegate tasks, specifically land and resource management activities, amongst other stakeholder. The implementation body needs to be an overseeing group which will ensure all aspects of the strategy are being pursued, not only the development control aspects but also the land and resource management components. It is in the latter context that there would appear to be a significant role to be played by conservation authorities. Whereas conservation authorities are the largest landowners on the moraine; they represent a provincial /municipal partnership; their programs are aimed at the management of renewable natural resources; and, further, they are organized on a watershed basis and the Oak Ridges Moraine is the headwaters of the majority of watersheds in the Greater Toronto Area, AUGUST 12, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6194 B193 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 10. THE OAK RIDGES MORAINE AREA STRATEGY FOR THE GREATER TORONTO AREA (CONTD.) -Draft for Public Discussion It is recommended that conservation authorities be identified and funded as the implementing agents for those components of the strategy related to land and resource management. One of the critical problems in developing a strategy for the ORM has been the lack of current, reliable, useful data on which to base conclusions and make recommendations. The future success of the Strategy will depend on ensuring that data collection and analysis, monitoring and information management across the ORM is maintained. These can only be assured if there is responsibility and funding assigned. It is recommended that the TWC strongly urge the province to commit funding and assign specific responsibilities for the collection and analysis of data, long term monitoring, and information management across the ORM. The strategy suggests exploring the establishment of an Oak Ridges Moraine Land Trust to acquire land, to develop educational programs and to encourage private land stewardship on the Moraine. It is recommended that rather than establishing a new Oak Ridges Moraine Trust, the province should utilize existing mechanisms including conservation authority foundations; the Natural Heritage League's private land stewardship program; and conservation authority stewardship and conservation education programs. Recommendations for Future Action At the end of the draft Strategy there are a number of recommendations for future action including that: (Recommendation 5) The Province pursue appropriate amendments to the Planning Act, The Conservation Authorities Act, The Trees Act, The Ontario Water Resources Act and the Topsoil Preservation Act to enhance the ability of public agencies to manage the natural environment. (Recommendation 7) The Province ensure that land tax rebates under the Conservation Land Tax Act are made available to lands within the Natural Core and Natural Corridor Areas as identified in the Natural Heritage Strategy, and The Province encourage the federal government (to) review the federal income tax system to ensure gifts of ecologically sensitive lands for conservation purposes are entitled to income tax benefits comparable to those received for other charitable donations. It is recommended that the Authority indicate its strong support for Recommendations 5 and 7 under Recommendations for Future Action, And further that the Province be urged to reinstate conservation authorities as eligible recipients of Conservation Land Tax rebates.

BAKERDALE /SOUTHDALE FLOOD AND EROSION CONTROL STUDY - Consultant Selection KEY ISSUE To retain the services of consultants to complete the designs for Flood Control and Erosion Control remedial works on the tributary of the Rouge at the rears of Bakerdale /Southdale Roads Town of Markham. Res. #E118/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Brian Harrison Jim Witty THAT the firm of Gartner Lee Limited be retained to complete the designs for the Bakerdale /Southdale Flood and Erosion Control Project at a total cost of $20,832 (including G.S.T.1 CARRIED BACKGROUND The watercourse to be studied is a small tributary of the Rouge River with its confluence within the Milne Reservoir in the Town of Markham. The tributary rises steeply from the reservoir, crosses in a long culvert under the intersection of Drakefield Road and Banfield Avenue and winds between residential properties to Bakerdale Road. Flooding has been experienced along the tributary in particular at three residences located off Jolyn Crescent in 1986. The initial erosion problems also appear to have begun as a consequence of extreme flows experienced in the summer and fall of 1986. A number of hydraulic controls were lost or damaged at this time and were never repaired or replaced. The continue impacts of higher and more frequent flows along this tributary have continued the erosion processes resulting in a general downcutting of the streambed and associated bank slumping. The erosion is generally restricted to MTRCA lands, however, is beginning to threaten adjacent private property. RATIONALE The Authority received three proposals for the design of the remedial works as follows: (Prices do not include G.S.T.) (1) M. M. Dillon Limited $ 26,000. (2) Totten Sims Hubicki Associates $ 34,000. (3) Gartner Lee Limited $ 19,470.

DON VALLEY BRICKWORKS PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT - Retention of Consultant KEY ISSUE Selection of a consulting team to undertake the detailed Phase I environmental audit of the Don Valley Brickworks Property. Res. #E119/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Brian Harrison Jim Witty THAT Intera Information Technologies (Canada) Ltd. be retained to undertake the detailed Phase 1 environmental audit of the Don Valley Brickworks Property. AND FURTHER THAT the cost of this contract be limited to the amount of $ 10,499.25 excluding the applicable taxes. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Don Valley Brickworks Property comprises 16.5 hectares in the valley of the Don River west of Bayview Avenue in the Borough of East York. The site contains a collection of buildings formerly used for the brickmaking industry, which operated on the property between approximately 1890 and 1990. The buildings have been temporarily closed and secured pending implementation of the site master plan. Long term use of the site for industry and large volumes of fill placed in the quarry suggest that testing of soils and groundwater should be done to identify any contamination and clean up requirements. Furthermore, the Brickworks buildings are in immediate need of securement both to protect them from further deterioration and to ensure that they are not a hazard. Buildings of significant historical value will be secured for future reuse, while accessory buildings which pose a public liability will be removed. B196 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/94, AUGUST 12, 1994 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 12. DON VALLEY BRICKWORKS PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT (CONTD.) - Retention of Consultant The goal of a Phase I environmental audit is to locate and isolate areas of environmental concern. This is done through a detailed review of the physical and chemical conditions of the site and an historic review of site activities to identify environmental concerns. The purpose of this study is to produce a detailed Phase I environmental audit of the Brickworks Property which: i) determines the quality of soil and groundwater and if contaminated provides an estimate of the extent of contamination and the approximate costs for decommissioning to Ministry of the Environment and Energy parkland standards; and, ii) determines the extent of regulated substances (hazardous building materials) within the buildings or their environs, and provides approximate costs for the proper handling of these substances. The most detailed and comprehensive hazardous materials inventory is required in Ontario under the Occupational Health and Safety Act RSO 1990; c.0.1 (formerly Bill 208). Prior to undertaking a construction project, involving an existing building, the Ontario regulation requires building owners, or their agents, to prepare or have prepared a Designated Substance Report for eleven designated substances, which include asbestos, lead, mercury, silica, ethylene oxide, vinyl chloride, benzene, arsenic, coke oven emissions, acrylonitrile, and isocyanates. The owner must ensure that a prospective constructor has received a Designated Substance Report before entering into a binding contract with the contractor. The owner is liable to the contractor for damages and costs arising from unreported materials (of which the owner should reasonably have been aware), and could also be subject to orders and fines from the Ministry of Labour. Though Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB's) are not considered as a designated substance in Ontario, current Federal and Provincial regulations require a building owner to have knowledge of PCB's and implement handling and storage procedures as required. RATIONALE Authority staff requested proposals to undertake this work from Raven Beck Environmental Ltd., lntera Information Technologies (Canada) Ltd., Fenco MacLaren Inc., and Halsall Environmental Inc.. The proposals were evaluated by the "Brickworks Technical Advisory Committee" on the basis of the relevant experience of the consultant, understanding of the Terms of Reference, the consultant's technical approach and methodology, and the ability of the consultant to undertake the work within our tight schedule. The Committee has representation from the Authority, The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Parks and Property, Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Recreation, Ministry of Natural Resources, Ministry of the Environment and Energy, Borough of East York, East York LACAC, Friends of the Valley, and the Ontario Historical Society. Detailed proposals were received from all of the aforementioned firms by Authority staff on July 26, 1994.

At their meeting of July 28, 1994, the Committee agreed that only the Raven Beck and Intera proposals most closely met the Terms of Reference and were cost competitive. It was agreed that Authority staff should finalize the recommendation by further reviewing the proposals, paying specific attention to the related experience of firm staff. On the basis of this further review, Authority staff concluded that Intera Information Technologies (Canada) Ltd. should be recommended to undertake the environmental audit of the Brickworks Property. Ha'sail's proposal was discounted because it was not cost competitive. Fenco MacLaren's proposal, although the lowest, was discounted because it did not fulfil the Terms of Reference. It is the opinion of the Technical Committee that Fenco MacLaren underestimated the amount of effort and expense required to carry out a thorough detailed review of the complex Brickworks site. Only a relatively small number of samples were proposed for analysis which would not have provided the definitive results required at this time. FUTURE WORK Other consulting assignments to be recommended to the Authority are the restoration of the chimney (August), and the documentation and analysis of the cultural heritage of the site (September). Terms of reference are also being finalized for the largest consulting assignment which is the detailed site planning and building restoration component of the work. A recommendation on a team of consultants to undertake this component of the work will be forthcoming in the fall. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds for the work are available in account 113-30-343.

DON VALLEY BRICKWORKS - Retention of Consultant for Chimney Restoration KEY ISSUE Selection of a consulting team to undertake the detailed investigation of the chimney at the Don Valley Brickworks site and develop detailed reconstruction plans and specifications. Res. #E120/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Brian Harrison Jim Witty THAT the architectural /engineering team of Ian McGillivray and Halsall Associates be retained to undertake the detailed investigation of the Don Valley Brickworks chimney and develop detailed reconstruction plans and specifications; AND FURTHER THAT the cost of this contract be limited to the amount of $21,300 excluding the applicable taxes. CARRIED BACKGROUND All required approvals for the Don Valley Brickworks Regeneration Project have now been received and the site work needs to begin as quickly as possible. The first construction project which can begin is the restoration of the chimney. A consulting team of specialists is required to conduct the detailed investigation and prepare the restoration plans and specifications. The consulting team was being selected through a two stage process under the direction of the "Brickworks Technical Advisory Committee ". The Committee has representation from the Authority, Metro Parks and Property, Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Recreation, Ministry of Natural Resources, Ministry of Environment and Energy, Borough of East York, East York LACAC, Friends of the Valley, and the Ontario Historical Society. Expressions of Interest were invited from firms based on inquiries to the Authority from various firms as well as a listing of recognized experts provided by the Advisory Committee members. Fifteen responses were received. The Expressions of Interest were evaluated on the basis of the relevant experience of the firms in completed chimney restorations, overall expertise of the team and ability to undertake the work within a tight schedule. The Technical Advisory Committee decided to request proposals from four teams as follows: • Ian McGillivray Architect, McGillivray - Architect Halsall Associates Limited, Consulting Structural Engineers • Quadrangle Architects Limited Halsall Associates Limited, Consulting Structural Engineer AUGUST 12, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/94 B199 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 13.

At their meeting of July 28, 1994, the Technical Advisory Committee recommended that the team of Ian McGillivray and Helsel! Associates be retained to undertake the detailed investigation of the chimney (Phase I) and develop detailed reconstruction plans and specifications (Phase II). The letting of Phase II is contingent on the successful completion of Phase I. RATIONALE The provincial funding of the Brickworks Project is a jobsOntario initiative and therefore early construction activity is expected on the site. The chimney is a major feature of the site which would be retained and restored as soon as possible. Other aspects of the site work cannot begin until more detailed site planning and design is completed. The Brickworks Planning Committee, an advisory committee established by Metropolitan Toronto Council and chaired by Councillor Oyler is in agreement with the restoration of the chimney as the first stage of the work.

SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION PRESENTATION 1. MCMICHAEL CANADIAN ART COLLECTION Jim Witty Richard O'Brien CARRIED Mr. John Ryerson, Director, Operations, McMichael Canadian Art Collection requested by letter dated August 26, 1994, to update the Executive Committee on revised expansion re- design plans. Mr. David Fujiwara, Trustee, spoke to the Executive and presented information regarding the revised proposal. A letter from Michael Hough, Principal, Hough Stansbury Woodland Naylor Dance Limited, dated September 7, 1994 was circulated with the addendum to the agenda and follows as pages B221-222 of these minutes. B221 SEPTEMBER 9, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/94 September 7, 1994 Mr. William Granger, Chair, Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority 5 Shoreham Drive, Downsview, ON M3N 1S4 Dear Bill: t-r ECEII E SEP 8 1994 SENIOR STAFF Re: McMichael Canadian Art Collection Gallery Extension Our File 1257 Hough Stansbury Woodland Naylor Dance Limited 916 The East Moll. Sualtt 6. Etubtcuku, Canada MUU 6K (416) 620.6577 Fax (416) 620 -9546 As you may know, Hough Stansbury Woodland Naylor Dance have been retained by the McMichael Canadian Art Collection to assist them in resolving the site and landscape issues of their new expansion and the property in general. Since, regrettably, I shall not be able to attend the meeting on the September 9, I thought it would be useful to your deliberations on the building expansion to comment on what is being proposed and how it is to be implemented, from the perspective of building siting, the studies being undertaken to minimize impact on valley slopes, and proposed restoration strategies. Having been associated with the Gallery for the last year, I have been struck by the genuine concern that is being expressed for the sensitive nature of this site in relation to its buildings. My office has been instructed to spare no effort in not only minimizing the impacts of the expansion on the slopes, but also in addressing related issues of long term landscape management on the property as a whole. The latter includes a reforestation strategy for re- naturalizing tableland and slopes, restoring a genuine sense of place appropriate to the Gallery's mandate and to the region, alternative environmentally appropriate mowing regimes, storm drainage management, site planning and design to improve the use of the property and Gallery activities, and assistance in their numerous public meetings. In addition, the stream and reforestation plan for the valley that was prepared by MTRCA for the Gallery is totally consistent with its aims and objectives, a fact that is reinforced by its commitment to the Authority's long -range planning for the Humber watershed. From my experience with such situations, it is rare to find expressions of such genuine dedication to intelligent conservation, and I have full confidence that the Gallery's commitment to act as responsible stewards of the land will continue to be honoured. -1- EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/94, SEPTEMBER 9, 1994 B222 With respect to the specifics of the building expansion feasibility studies, our report on site issues is included in the overall report prepared by Parkin Architects. It includes site analysis of the building elements, development alternatives, entrance and circulation proposals, and the strategy /specifications for protection and restoration.

Resolutions #A39/94, as amended by Resolution #A40/94, is as follows: "THAT the status report, dated February 24, 1994, on the former Canada Post Property be received; That staff be directed to continue with the park master p /an and site remediation plan under the guidance of the Canada Post Steering Committee; THAT the Authority concur with the demolition of the main building (approximately 21,370 square metres or 230,000 square feet) and direct staff to investigate funding sources to proceed with the demolition at the earliest possible date in accordance with existing Authority policies; THAT staff exp /ore interim management arrangements with our partners in a timely manner; AND FURTHER THAT The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, the City of Mississauga, the Regional Municipality of Pee/ and the Province of Ontario be so advised. Amendment #A40/94 THAT staff be directed to provide a further report on future revenue generating uses or demolition of building two within 120 days; THAT staff look at every possib /e aspect of funding for the demolition of all surplus buildings; AND FURTHER THAT staff negotiate with Canada Post to have the building demolition costs taken out of the $5,000,000 site clean -up fund." In order to deal with reduction of a potential major expenditure resulting from realty taxes on the property, arrangements have been made to have the entire property, with the exception of the portion occupied by Ontario Hydro, exempted from taxation. A copy of the June 16, 1994 letter, together with appended Clause No. 10 contained in Report No. 19 of The Management Committee, which was adopted without amendment by the Council of The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto at its meeting held on June 15, 1994, and a copy of By -law No. 82/94 adopted by the Council of The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto at its meeting on June 30, 1994, are appended as pages B226 to B234 of these minutes. B225 SEPTEMBER 9, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/94 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 2. PROJECT FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE CANADA POST CORPORATION PROPERTY (CONTD.) - Interim Management Arrangements In accordance with the earlier direction of the members of the Authority and the direction of the Canada Post Steering Committee, staff are attempting to be in a position to proceed with demolition of all buildings, with exception of the building leased to Ontario Hydro, as expeditiously as possible. Work involved in preparing this specification package for tender is extremely complex because of the extensive size of the main building and the hazardous materials involved on the site. It is anticipated that the specification package will be available to potential contractors during September, with a closing date for quotations during October, 1994. At this time, the quotations will be publicly opened. Negotiations are continuing with officials of Canada Post Corporation for assistance with the cost of demolition and it is anticipated that all work will be able to be funded from monies at hand. A proposal has been received from Billy The Third Productions, Limited Partnership (letter dated August 24, 1994, and attached as page B235 and 6236 of these minutes) for the utilization of the main building on the property for filming during the months of September, October, and November 1994. Preliminary indications are that if suitable arrangements could be made, this use could be carried out with no delay to the potential demolition contract. Staff of The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the City of Mississauga have advised that they have no objection to this proposed use subject to a suitable rent being obtained, a suitable licence agreement being prepared and the funding being utilized to assist with carrying out the demolition work.

PROPERTY AT 1400 LAKE SHORE tiOULEVARD EAST, MISSISSAUGA. The Management Committee recommends the adoption of the recommendation of the Parks, Recreation and Property Committee embodied In the following communication (May 31, 1994) from the Metropolitan Clerk: Recommendation: The Parks, Recreation and Property Committee recommends the adoption of the reports dated May 20, 1994, from the Commissioner of Parks and Property respecting the Interim management of the M.T.R.0 A. property at 1400 Lake Shore Boulevard East, In the City of Mississauga. Background: The Parks, Recreation and Property Cohimlttee on May 30, 1994, had before It the following reports: (I) (May 20, 1994) from the Commissioner off arks and Property recommending that: (1) authority be,granted to accept possession of 1400 Lake Shore Boulevard East, effective March 1, 1994, for park purposes, Subject to entering Into agreements with the M.T.R.C.A.

Recommendations: It Is recommended that: (1) authority be granted to accept possession of 1400 Lake Shore Boulevard East, effective Match 1, 1994, for park purposes, subject to entering Into agteements with The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority ( "M.T.R.C.A. ") and Cahada Post Corporation on the terms outlined In this report and otherwise satisfactory to the Commissioner of Parks and Property and the Metro Solicitor; (2) authority be granted for the Introduction of the necessary Bill In Council to exempt 1400 Lake Shore Boulevard East from municipal taxes and to apply to the Council of the Corporation of the City of Mlsslssauga for a cancellation of 1994 taxes, effective from March 1, 1994; and (3) the appropriate Metro Officials be authorized to take the necessary action to give effect hereto. Background: Metro Council, by the adoption of Clause No. 4 of Report No. 27 of The Management Committee on August 12, 1992, approved a contribution of $4,500,000.00 for the acquisition, by the M.T.R.C.A., from Canada Post, of approximately 38.768 acres adjacent to Marie Curtis Park In the City of Etobicoke, situate In the City of Mlsslssauga. Canada Post vacated the property on February 28, 1994, and the M.T.R.C.A. will be demolishing various buildings, preserving other buildings and developing a soli remedlatlon plan. In addition, the long -term planning for the property, in conjunction with the Cities of Etobicoke and Mlsslssauga and the Regional Municipality of Peel, will be proceeding concurrently. Discilsslon: Pending completion of these various activitied, It tnakes sense, given the proximity to Marie Curtis Park, for Metro to go Into possession and manage the lands as part of the Metro parks system, pending a definitive plan for future development. Stich possession could be, generally, In accordance with the 1972 Waterfront Agreement between Metro and the M.T.R.C.A., subject to the following modifications: (1) Metro accepts possession of the lands effective March 1, 1994, subject to the M.T.R.C.A. being responsible, at Its sole cost and expehse, for: (a) demolition, Including the removal from the lands of all refuse and debris created thereby; (b) obtaining all permits, approvals and cohsehts required, by law, to carry old the demolition; B229 SEPTEMBER 9, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/94 3 (c) erecting all hoarding, fencing or other barriers necessary for the proper security of the demolition, restricting public access thereto, containing and removing any substance arising from the demolition that Is harmful to man and otherwise taking all reasonable steps and exercising such reasonable precautions as may be necessary to secure the safety of the public during demolition; (d) erecting any signage or posting ahy hotice to inform the public of the demolition as may be necessary for Its safety or convehlence; (e) controlling and remedlating the effects of any Illegal activity on the part of the public attributable to, or arising out of, the demolition (such as Illegal dumping); (f) providing necessary accommodation, Including suitable washroom, wash -up, eating and administrative facilities for workers engaged on -site In the demolition; providing Insurance, with the Metrd Corporation as a named Insured, with coverage and amounts satisfactory to the Comrnissloher of Finance; (h) discharging any claims for lien and removing any certificate of action arising out of the demolition; and (g) (I) any necessary soil remediatlon and restoration of the land to a natural state following demolition; (2) the M.T.R.C.A. shall pay all realty taxes on the lands, If any; (3) either party may terminate the agreement oh six months notice; and (4) such other terms and conditions as the Commissioner of Parks and Property and the Metro Solicitor deem necessary to protect the Interests of the Metro Corporation. The Agreement of Purchase and Sale for the lands restricts the use and transfer thereof for a period of five years from the closing date. It permits a transfer to Metro or the City of Mlsslssauga, If the transferee enters an agreement satisfactory to Canada Post Corporation agreeing to be bound by the Agreement of Purchase and Sale. The ongoing obligations In that agreement relate to use and transfers of the property. It Is recommended that authority be granted to enter Into such an agreement with Canada Post Corporation. Taxes: Where Metro enters an agreement with the M.T.k.C.A. for the management and control of lands owned by the M.T.R.C.A. for park purposes, the lands may, by by -law, be exempted from municipal taxation, so long as such lands are Used for park purposes. Under the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Act, Metro may acquire lands In , the Reglohal Municipality of Peel for park purposes. Accordingly, It Is recommended that authority be granted for the Introduction In Council of a by -law. exempting the lands from taxes. Following the enactment of such a by-law, application should be made to the CoUncII of the Corporation bt the City of Mlsslssauga, pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal Act, seeking a cahcellatlon of the 1994 taxes. With respect to 1995 taxes and thereafter, application may be made to the Assessment Review board If the property Is not marked exempt. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/94, SEPTEMBER 9, 1994 B230 The Parks, Recreation and Property Committee at Its meeting on May 2, 1994, In considering this report, requested that staff Investigate the possibility of the City of Mississauga and the Regional Municlpallty of Peel sharing operational costs to the said property and the taxation responsibilities of the M.T.R.C.A. Taxes and maintenance on the former Canada Post lands are, at the present time, the responsibility of the M.T.R.C.A. The City of Mlsslssauga and the Regional Municipality of Peel are proposing to forego their share of the anhival really taxes oh the subject property which, for 1994, totals approximately $200,000.00 per year. It Is respectfully suggested that It Is hot appropriate that the City of Mlsslssauga and the Regional Municipality of Peel be requested, at thls time, to accept any additional flnahclal burden for operational costs which, In this Interim period, are estimated to be in the range of $1,500.00 per annum, and which cah be absorbed In the Parks and Property Department's current budget. Properties owned by the M.T.R.C.A. outside the boundaries of the Municipality of Metro Toronto are taxable. The City of Mlsslssauga and the Regional Municipality of Peel, at the request of the M.T.R.C.A., have agreed to allow the lands to be placed Under an Interim management agreement with the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, to provide the M.T.R.C.A. with a legislative basis for obtaining a tax exemption, In this Instance. Legislation governing the City of Mlsslssauga and the Regional Municipality of Peel does not provide for the same exemptions as set out In the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Act. Under the proposed arrangement, the M.T.R.C.A. Is prepared to retain responsibility for all other costs, as set out In the report, Including site securement, clean -up and park development planning. Payment of realty taxes outside of Metropolitan Toronto are dealt with under the following categories: Non Revenue - Producing Lands: Taxes In thls category, Under which the majority of the former Canada Post lands would fall, are fully payable by the M.T.R.C.A. out of funds received from Provincial grants and municipal levies. During the past several years and until 1993, the M.T.R.C.A. was able to secure 100 per cent. reimbursement of taxes paid from the Province of Ontario, under the Conservation Land Tax Rebate Program. this program was cancelled by the province of Ontario, during 1993, with no advance warning. Revenue - Producing Lands: Lands In thls category Include locations where revenue Is generated either from rentals, as the existing Ontario Hydro lease on the subject property, or from revenue - producing conservation areas. Taxes to revenue - producing conservation areas are charged back to the regional mtihicipallty In which lands ate situate. This means that Metro Toronto does not pay property taxes on pack lands In the Region& Management Agreements: While the Regional governments have not established regional parks systems, the M.T.R.C.A. has lands Uhder agreerheht With local municipalities hot local park purposes. The taxes on these lands are looked after by the local municipality. B231 SEPTEMBER 9, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/94 5 Staff of the M.T.R.C.A. will be available at the meeting to provide any additional Information that may be required. (Report dated May 20, 1994, addressed to the Parks, Recreation and Property Committee from the Commissioner of Parks and Property.) Recommendation: It Is recommended that, in addition to the recommendations contained In my report dated May 20,1994, the following recommendation be adopted: • "Authority be granted to assume the rights and obligations of the Landlord Under a lease In favour of Cadet Organization Police School, subject to the Tenant paying taxes, or paying directly to Metro an amount equivalent to taxes, pending determination of the realty tax status, with any such amount being refunded to the Tenant If the premises are ultimately determined to be exempt." Background: In a separate report dated May 20, 1994, I have recommended that possession of 1400 Lake Shore Boulevard East be accepted from The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority ( "M.T.R.C.A. ") for park purposes, effective March 1, 1994, and these lands be exempted from municipal taxation by Metro Council by -law, Under section 225(5)(d) of the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Act. Situate on the site Is a building presently occupied by Ontario Hydro and a non - profit corporation known as Cadet Organization Police School (C.O.P.S.). The occupation of both these Tenants has continued under leases originally entered Into with Public Works Canada and now with the M.T.R.C.A. At the time of writing my first report, It was Intended that this building be excluded from the lands transferred to Metro for park purposes. Recently, however, the Solicitor for the Regional Municipality of Peel has written, on behalf of C.O.P.S., as follows: "The program Is primarily a recreational and training program for youth In the community. The activities and use of the property are quite similar to that carried on In a community recreation centre. As well, the grounds around the building are sometimes used for events. Having reviewed the legislation, I believe that this sort of active recreation program would fall within the broad definition of park purposes. We would, therefore, like to ensure that any portion of the lands used or occUpled by thls program receive the benefit of the tax exemption, Under the agreement between M.T.R.C.A. and Metro." - To accede to the request of C.O.P.S., the premises leased to that organization would not only have to be used for park purposes, but also transferred to the management and control of Metro. The former Is a question of tact. The latter requires that Metro become, in effect, C.O.P.S.' Landlord. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/94, SEPTEMBER 9, 1994 8232 6 ' The present lease Is for an area of approximately 12,000 square feet of factory space, at a monthly rental of $178.00. The Tenant Is responsible for repair, heat, utilities, Insurance and all taxes and local improvement charges. The tenancy Is from Month to month. Since the Tenant Is responsible, under the lease, for taxes, the risk that the premises are subsequently determined not to be used for park purposet and, therefore, subject to taxes Is the Tenant's. The risk to Metro Is that taxes may be determined to be payable at a time when arrears exist and the Tenant Is Impecunious. Metro's risk could be reduced If the Tenant paid taxes, or an amount equivalent thereto to Metro, pending determination of realty tax status, with this amount being refunded If the property Is Ultimately determined to be exempted. Subject to this condition, It Is recommended that Metro assume, from the M.T.R.C.A., the rights and obligations of the Landlord under the lease.

KEY ISSUE The Authority is in receipt of a request from Sonja Mez, the owner of 465 Guildwood Parkway on the Lake Ontario Shoreline in the City of Scarborough, to consider purchase of her property. Res. #E141/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Brian Harrison Lois Griffin THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the request from Sonja Mez to explore the potential purchase of her property at 465 Guildwood Parkway, City of Scarborough, The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, be referred to Authority staff to review in accordance with established Authority policies; AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future date recommending further action. CARRIED BACKGROUND On September 21, 1988, the owner of the subject property conveyed a total of 0.336 of her holdings at 465 and 447 Guildwood Parkway, situate on the Lake Ontario Shoreline at the foot of the Scarborough Bluffs, to the Authority for the nominal consideration of $2.00. The land was conveyed by the owner to facilitate shoreline protection works being carried out by the Authority across several properties from the Guild Inn easterly. While the work being carried out by the Authority in this area, which is not yet fully completed, has been of assistance in dealing with erosion concerns, it will not afford long term protection for the residence at 465 Guildwood Parkway. Mrs. Mez, who lives in this residence, has had the property for sale for several months and has been unable to sell the property because of the closeness to the bluff edge. The bluff at this location is extremely over steepened and very dangerous. While the Authority advocates the carrying out of shoreline protective works to attempt to preserve residences, it is acknowledged that even with full completion of works certain residences will ultimately become endangered. The Authority has previously purchased three other residences at this location where it was felt that long term protection could not be provided. There is one other residence in this area where long term protection cannot be afforded even with full completion of the proposed shoreline works. The other potential endangered property is owned by Robert and Helen Curry. The Curry's have also requested the Authority to explore the potential acquisition of their property. Similar to the subject property, staff is continuing to monitor the Curry property.

It should also be noted that in all instances where valley and shoreline works are carried out on private lands or on lands being acquired under programs of this nature that owners of abutting residential lands are required to execute legal agreements acknowledging that the works are of an experimental nature and indemnify the Authority from future claims. WORK TO BE DONE In accordance with established Authority policies, it is proposed that these sites continue to be monitored for safety purposes, that appraisals be undertaken, and that at such time as suitable property arrangements can be secured and funding is available, further approvals be sought. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Potential funding sources include regular provincial and municipal funding under The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Valley and Shoreline Regeneration Project 1992 -1996, land sale revenue or a combination of both sources. 10.

CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority meeting # 1/92, held on February 21, 1992, certain parcels of Authority owned land situate beyond the current boundaries of the Authority's Lake Ontario Waterfront requirements were declared surplus as to the requirements of the Authority. B249 SEPTEMBER 9, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/94 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 10. SALE OF SURPLUS AUTHORITY OWNED LANDS (CONTD.) - Fairport Beach Area, Town of Pickering This decision was made after extensive public consultation, in accordance with Authority policy for land disposal. In accordance with the comments received during the public consultation process, staff were directed: "That preference be given wherever possib /e to sales or exchanges being made at market value to the following: • Remaining private owners situate within the acquisition boundary; • Abutting property owners; • Former owners of the subject lands". All of the above were advised in early 1992 of the aforementioned. A satisfactory offer from one of the abutting owners was received and a sale of that parcel was successfully completed earlier in 1993, at an amount of $75,000. A second abutting owner who had earlier indicated an interest in purchasing an adjacent parcel subsequently withdrew her request. The availability of the remaining surplus Authority owned lands at this location was advertised publicly for sale during late 1992, with no satisfactory offers being received. Upon reviewing the offers received, it was brought to the attention of Authority staff, that certain lots on registered plans had merged. During late 1992 and 1993 extensive discussions were held with officia /s of the Town of Pickering regarding providing assistance to the Authority to alleviate Planning Act problems resulting from lands merging under the Planning Act even though they were separate lots on a registered plan. The parcels while purchased as separate holdings from individual owners merged on title after acquisition by the Authority because of portions of the registered plans being deregistered by the Municipality. On July 27, 1993, the Town registered a copy of By -law 4242/93 which reinstated the status of the subject lots. A condition of the Town approval was that an amount of $ 10,307.50 be payab /e to the Town as a park /and contribution. In accordance with the earlier direction of the Members of the Authority, all parties who earlier expressed an interest in the purchase of the subject lands during the public tender process were again advised of the availability of the lands and invited to submit sealed offers to the attention of the Chief Administrative Officer of the Authority before 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 7, 1993. The proposals received on October 7, 1993 are illustrated on the attached Schedule "A". Tenders were opened publicly at Tender Opening Sub - Committee #8/93 (TO.17/93), held October 8, 1993. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/94, SEPTEMBER 9, 1994 B250 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 10. SALE OF SURPLUS AUTHORITY OWNED LANDS (CONTD.) - Fairport Beach Area, Town of Pickering The offer by N. Bigioni Management Services Limited of $834,000. was on the basis that any outstanding levies wou /d be payable by the Authority. Upon reviewing the potential of additional levies, it has been determined that additional standard development charges in the amounts of $4,900. per parcel by the Town of Pickering and $7,300. per parcel by The Regional Municipality of Durham may be routinely levied for a total of an additional $73,200. In discussions with representatives of N. Bigioni Management Services Limited, it has now been agreed that the purchaser will assume full responsibility for payment of all existing, as well as potential lot levies and pay the Authority a lump sum of $800,000. on closing. A current independent appraisal of the surp /us Authority owned land indicate that the lump sum payment of $800,000. is above the estimated current market value of the subject lands. RATIONALE The subject lands have been declared surplus by the Authority. Disposition of these surplus lands is of financial benefit to the Authority to allow its resources to be utilized for the acquisition, protection and use of lands required for Authority purposes. FINANCIAL DETAILS It is proposed that the proceeds from this sale be used in the funding of the purchase of priority properties within the Authority's Acquisition Project. All necessary approvals to proceed with completion of the transaction are now at hand. The transaction will be completed on the following basis, Parcels 3 and 5 will be closed by no later than September 30, 1994 and the balance by no later than December 15, 1994. The outstanding parkland levy of $10,307.50 will be paid by the purchaser on the closing of Parcels 3 and 5. During late 1993, Hans and Gertrude Rauh (through the Provincial Government) submitted a bid to the Authority during the public process which closed October 7, 1993 for the potential purchase of the parcel designated as Parcel 5, at an amount of $100,000 as noted in Schedule 'A' which was part of the staff report of October 27, 1993 (page B ? ?? of these minutes). The Rauhs advised that they felt that in accordance with the provisions of the Authority's earlier position, that they should be given special consideration to proceed with the purchase of one of the surplus parcels. The Rauhs had been notified in early 1992 by letter along with all other remaining private owners situate within the acquisition boundary, abutting property owners, and former owners of the surplus lands, of the availability of the lands prior to the parcel being advertised for sale to the general public. The Rauhs did not contact the Authority at that time as others had done and the remaining surplus lands were subsequently offered for sale to the general public. B251 SEPTEMBER 9, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/94 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 10. SALE OF SURPLUS AUTHORITY OWNED LANDS (CONTD.) - Fairport Beach Area, Town of Pickering In an attempt to potentially accommodate the request of the Rauh family within the confines of the current transaction, an independent appraisal of the residential lands currently owned by Mr. and Mrs. Rauh was arranged by the Authority. The Rauh family owns a waterfront property near Frenchman's Bay in the immediate vicinity of the subject lands. This waterfront property is of interest to the Authority. Mr. and Mrs. Rauh advised that they were not satisfied with the amount arrived at by the independent appraiser of $245,000. However, they still expressed an interest in attempting to purchase the lot immediately behind their property which is included in the proposed sale to N. Bigioni Management Services Limited and shown as Parcel 1 (page B252 of these minutes). After extensive negotiations involving the Rauh family, representatives of N. Bigioni Management Services Limited and Authority staff, a tentative arrangement was arrived at where the Rauh family would be able to purchase the surplus lot immediately north of their residential property (Parcel 1) at an amount of $107,500. The transaction was to include the Authority having first right of refusal at fair market value of the waterfront property. It was also agreed that the closing of the transaction would be on or before August 2, 1994. A short time prior to the proposed closing date, representatives of the Rauh family advised the Authority that they felt that the price earlier agreed is excessive and that the lands should be sold to them at a lower price. Ongoing discussions between N. Bigioni Management Services Limited and the Rauh family are still underway. However, in the event the Rauhs are not willing to make suitable arrangements prior to the Authority closing date, the arrangement with N. Bigioni Management Services Limited will be completed as scheduled. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/94, SEPTEMBER 9, 1994 B252 is givizat • Lot 25. . b e /1/ (9FC ) :4 • ,•, t. .4 • c c N • \11,> `K ;o.

DON VALLEY BRICKWORKS HERITAGE DOCUMENTATION AND ANALYSIS - Retention of Consultant KEY ISSUE Selection of a consulting team to undertake the heritage documentation and analysis of the Don Valley Brickworks property. Res. #E144/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Brian Harrison Jim Witty THAT Unterman McPhail Cuming Associates be retained to undertake the heritage documentation and analysis of the Don Valley Brickworks property. AND FURTHER THAT the cost of this contract be limited to the amount of $24,912.28, including GST. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Don Valley Brickworks site was purchased by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority ( MTRCA) in 1987. The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto subsequently accepted the site for management under agreement with the MTRCA 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, which was in production on the property between 1890 and 1990. The buildings have been closed and secured pending implementation of recommendations from various site master plans. The MTRCA's vision, shared by various agencies and community interest groups, is to regenerate the site recognizing the important geological, environmental and cultural heritage resources located there. In 1993, a plan was devised for regeneration of the site. Recommendations included 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. The objectives of the proposed heritage recording and documentation study are to produce a detailed inventory of the site's industrial and built heritage resources, and to research and record the important industrial activities and processes that were carried out at the site over the 100 years of manufacturing. The MTRCA sought the services of a heritage consultant or team to produce a detailed record of the present configuration and condition of the historic resources presently on the site and to identify and locate all available records from the past and present. Such investigations will follow the generally accepted principles of cultural resource management. Cultural resources of the Don Valley Brickworks will be identified and evaluated, and their historic value will be duly considered in all recommendations and actions that might affect them. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/94, SEPTEMBER 9, 1994 8254 SECTION 11 - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 11. DON VALLEY BRICKWORKS HERITAGE DOCUMENTATION AND ANALYSIS (CONTD.) - Retention of Consultant RATIONALE Authority staff requested proposals to undertake this work from Commonwealth Historic Resource Management Inc., Edwin Rowse Architects Inc., Historica Research Ltd., Polymath & Thaumaturge Inc., Resource Data, Stephen Otto, and Unterman McPhail Cuming Associates. The proposals were evaluated by the "Brickworks Technical Advisory Committee" on the basis of the relevant experience of the consultant, understanding of the terms of reference, the consultant's technical approach and methodology, and the ability of the consultant to undertake the work within our tight schedule. The Brickworks Technical Advisory Committee has representation from the Authority, Metro Parks and Property Department, Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Recreation, Ministry of Natural Resources, Ministry of the Environment and Energy, Borough of East York, East York LACAC, Friends of the Valley, and the Ontario Historical Society. Detailed proposals were received from Edwin Rowse Architects Inc., Resource Data, and Unterman McPhail Cuming Associates on August 17, 1994. The cost breakdown for each proposal is as follows: Consultant Study Cost Edwin Rowse $24,931.00 Resource Data S24,939.50 Unterman McPhail Cuming Associates $24,912.28 At their meeting of August 25, 1994, the Committee recommended that Unterman McPhail Cuming Associates undertake the heritage documentation and analysis of the Brickworks property. The proposals from all the firms indicated there is a wealth of expertise in this field in the Toronto area; consequently, it was a difficult decision for the committee members. In choosing Unterman McPhail Cuming Associates, the committee felt their team was the most experienced in the evaluation of former brickworks, and very knowledgeable about the site itself. The Unterman team experience includes extensive involvement in the evaluation, conservation and planning for the Cheltenham Brickworks, and authoring one of the background studies on the Don Valley Brickworks. Heritage documentation and analysis was identified in the jobsOntario capital application project description for the regeneration of the Brickworks. FUTURE WORK Terms of reference are also being finalized for the largest consulting assignment which is the detailed site planning and building restoration component of the work. A recommendation on a team of consultants to undertake this component -of the work will be forthcoming in the fall. • FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds for the work are available in account 113 -30 -343. Funding for the Don Valley Brickworks Regeneration Project is provided by Metropolitan Toronto, the Province of Ontario, and The Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto.

COLONEL SAMUEL SMITH PARK -Site Furnishings and Design Feature for the Public Promenade KEY ISSUE Authorization to obtain site furnishings and a design feature seating element along the public promenade at Colonel Samuel Smith Waterfront Park, City of Etobicoke. Res. #E145/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Brian Harrison Jim Witty THAT staff be authorized to proceed, during the 1994 year, with the purchase and installation of a design feature seating element, six standard bench units and five waste receptacles, for the public promenade from Maglin Furniture Systems at a total cost of $23,690, including G.S.T. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Executive Committee Meeting #1 /94, held March 4, 1994 Res. #E1 1 /94 was adopted: "THAT this item be referred back to staff to consider less costly alternatives." As a result of the direction of the Executive Committee, the staff is now recommending a proposal which is 20% Tess costly then originally presented. The original cost of the design feature and site furnishings along the promenade, using Maglin Furniture Systems, totalled $29,923, including GST. Over the last six months, staff from The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Parks and Property Department and MTRCA have reviewed the project design intent and investigated the minimum site furniture requirements. A total of 8 different types of furniture systems were reviewed, including the Metro Parks and Property standard, with respect to cost, durability, maintenance requirements, accessibility for elderly and handicapped, product warranty, design relationship to existing features and overall aesthetics. It was determined that the unique public promenade, which functions as the focal point for both the waterfront park and the metro waterfront trail, incorporate the design feature seating element along with mid -range site furnishings. Three companies were selected and requested to submit prices for constructing, supplying and installing 1 design feature seating element, 6 standard 8 foot wood slat benches with metal ends and arms and 5 metal waste receptacles. RATIONALE Three quotes for the design feature, benches and waste receptacles were received as follows: Maglin Furniture Systems Toronto Fabricating and Mfg. Co. Crozier Agencies $23,690.00 $31,826.35 $35,315.35 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/94, SEPTEMBER 9, 1994 B256 SECTION 11 - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 12. COLONEL SAMUEL SMITH PARK (CONTD.) -Site Furnishings and Design Feature for the Public Promenade The 20% savings established on Maglin products resulted from a reduction in the number of units and a reduction in per unit cost. In total, two benches and three waste receptacles were eliminated. As well, through the competitive bid process, Maglin reduced the cost of the design feature seating element by $ 1,295. Also, each standard bench unit was reduced by $70 and each waste receptacle was reduced by $25. An indepth evaluation of the quotes was completed with Metro Toronto Parks and Property Department. The criteria used in the evaluation included: (a) cost; (b) completion of specified work; (c) quality and workmanship; (d) value and product warranty; (e) past work experience. Staff determined that the Maglin site furniture provided the best value and quality of design, as well as being the most reasonably priced. The material and construction techniques which Maglin specified will reduce future maintenance expenses for Metro Parks and Property. The cast aluminum framing on both the bench and waste receptacle does not rust, which minimizes future painting requirements. In addition, thicker wood slats butt jointed into the metal ends of the bench will reduce cracking and subsequent wood slat replacement. Maglin also provides a five year warranty on all parts and labour. Furthermore, the design quality of the Maglin systems best relates to and enhances the existing details of the public promenade. The strong lines of the existing metal railings is mirrored in the design feature seating element, the benches and the waste receptacles. It was also found that Maglin furniture systems have been successfully used at Harbourfront, Skydome and the Canadian National Exhibition. The quotes from Toronto Fabricating and Mfg. Company and Crozier Agencies did not include a price for installing the benches and waste receptacles. In addition, Crozier Agencies quote did not include a price for installing the design feature seating element. As well, Toronto Fabricating and Crozier Agencies provided no product warranty. On the basis of this evaluation, Authority staff and Metro Parks and Property staff concluded that Maglin Furniture Systems should be recommended to construct, supply and install one design feature seating element, six standard eight foot benches and five metal waste receptacles for the public promenade at Colonel Samuel Smith Park. If the Executive Committee feels it necessary to further reduce costs, staff would then recommend that the design feature seating element be omitted and seven additional standard 8 foot bench units be incorporated into the central plaza area of the promenade. The overall project cost would then be reduced to $ 15,065 with Maglin supplying and installing 13 standard 8 foot benches and 5 metal waste receptacles.

MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO VALLEY AND SHORELINE REGENERATION PROJECT 1992 - 1996 - Etobicoke Creek Landfill Site Erosion Control Project, Consultant Selection KEY ISSUE To retain the services of consultants to complete the detailed designs of the erosion control and slope stabilization works at the Etobicoke Creek Landfill Site in the City of Etobicoke. Res. #E147/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Brian Harrison Jim Witty THAT the firm of Golder Associates Ltd. be retained to complete the designs for the Etobicoke Creek Landfill Site Erosion Control Project in the City of Etobicoke at a total cost of $46,310 (including G.S.T.). CARRIED BACKGROUND At Meeting #6/94, July 12, 1994 the Authority under Resolution # A158/94 directed staff to proceed with the final engineering and construction of erosion control works adjacent to the landfill site on the east side of Etobicoke Creek north of The Queensway in the City of Etobicoke at a total estimated cost of $385,000 under the Municipality of Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Valley and Shoreline Regeneration Project 1992 -1996, subject to receipt of all necessary approvals and subject to confirmation by the City of Etobicoke that the City will contribute 50% or $192,500 towards the cost of the project. We are now in receipt of confirmation from the City of Etobicoke that they will contribute 50% or $192,500 towards the cost of the project. The first step towards the construction of the necessary erosion control and slope stabilization works is to carry out the final engineering to determine the extent and nature of the remedial works required. The final engineering to be conducted to design the erosion control works involves the following: • a detailed reconnaissance of the site to establish biological and geotechnical information; • confirming the locations and extent of the toe protection works; • assessing the existing slope stability of the specific problem areas through boreholes and computer modelling; • review of alternative designs and MOEE guidelines for remediating sanitary landfill; • final design of erosion and slope stabilization works; and • construction supervision. Golder Associates Ltd. conducted the preliminary hydrogeological / geotechnical investigation of the Etobicoke Creek Landfill Site on behalf of the City of Etobicoke in 1993. Part of this study was to provide an assessment on potential slope instability of the banks forming the Etobicoke Creek valley in the landfill site area. The scope of work included hydrogeotechnical site inspection and mapping, borehole drilling and monitoring. This work determined the existing erosion problem of the landfill.

MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO VALLEY AND SHORELINE REGENERATION PROJECT 1992 - 1996 (CONTD.) - Etobicoke Creek Landfill Site Erosion Control Project, Consultant Selection The Golder's report will form the bases of further final engineering of the erosion and slope stabilization works of the sanitary landfill site. RATIONALE It is imperative that the required emergency erosion control and slope stabilization works at the sanitary landfill site be carried out this year due to the health and environmental impacts on the Etobicoke Creek. We are on notice by the MOEE that this work must be carried out to avoid issuance of orders under Section 44 of the Environmental Protection Act. Also, the funding arrangements involving the City of Etobicoke and the approved Valley and Shoreline Regeneration Project must be completed in 1994. Because of Golder's familiarity with the site and existing data base, their firm can best complete the necessary final engineering to ensure that the final design of the bank stabilization works, and to ensure the priority areas, are stabilized in 1994. FINANCIAL DETAILS This work will be carried out under account No. 144 -01. The funding is available under the "Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Valley and Shoreline Regeneration Project 1992 - 1996" approved at Authority Meeting #3/91. The City of Etobicoke will be funding 50% or $192,500. 15.

THE MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO VALLEY AND SHORELINE REGENERATION PROJECT 1992 -1996 - Fishleigh Drive Shoreline Regeneration Project - Consultant Selection KEY ISSUE To retain the services of consultants to evaluate the existing shoreline protection structures and recommend alternatives for the termination of the east end of the site (Midland Avenue) and final armouring at the west end. Res. #E148/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Jim Witty Lois Griffin THAT the consulting firm of W. F. Baird and Associates be retained to carry out the coastal study for the Fishleigh Drive shoreline protection measures at a total estimated fee of S15,000 (excluding G.S.T.). CARRIED BACKGROUND A coastal study and design of shoreline protection for the Fishleigh Drive sector was prepared by Keith Philpott Consulting Limited in 1987. A geotechnical investigation for Fishleigh Drive was completed by Terraprobe Limited in 1988. Based on these reports and requests from concerned homeowners, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority ( MTRCA) commenced a project for the final design and implementation for erosion control works under the Conservation Authorities Class Environmental Assessment procedure for Water Management Structures. During 1988, the MTRCA constructed a construction access road through the Fishleigh Ravine and eastward to the bottom of the bluffs. Construction of an offshore armoured revetment was started during 1990. To date, approximately 326 metres has been constructed, which is approximately 60% of the design length. Some of the backshore area has been filled, but no slope stabilization measures have been initiated as yet. An endangered house at 85 Fishleigh Drive was purchased by the MTRCA, as it was only 15 metres from the edge of the bluffs. This house was demolished in 1993. Large landslides have been occurring in unprotected areas at the east end of the Fishleigh Drive sector. In 1992, a report titled "Regeneration: Toronto's Waterfront and the Sustainable City" was published by the Royal Commission on the Future of the Toronto Waterfront. This report outlines an ecosystem approach and principals for regenerating the waterfront. These new principals and ideas were not in place at the time of the original design. RATIONALE Authority staff invited four consulting Engineering firms to submit written proposals to undertake this work. These firms were: EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/94, SEPTEMBER 9, 1994 B262 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 16.

The proposal from W. F. Baird and Associates ranked highest based on merit, project team and approach to the tasks. Authority staff is satisfied that W. F. Baird and Associates can complete the work in accordance with the terms of reference and therefore recommend they be awarded the assignment. DETAIL OF WORK TO BE DONE The consultant will be required to complete the final design details of the easterly termination of the existing armoured revetment. This will include an assessment of the impact of the shoreline protection to the Needles Bluffs, aesthetics, geomorphology and coastal analysis. Also, the consultant will investigate alternative design details for final shoreline treatment of the existing unprotected revetment structure located at the westerly end of the project area.

B263 SEPTEMBER 9, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/94 SECTION 1I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 17. APPOINTMENT OF CHAIR OF THE AUTHORITY KEY ISSUE Appointment of Chair of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (MTRCA). RECOMMENDATION THAT the report from the Chief Administrative Officer regarding the appointment of the Chair be received for information. MOTION Res. #E149/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Jim Witty Lois Griffin WHEREAS The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is now the only conservation authority to have its Chairman appointed by the Province of Ontario; BE IT RESOLVED THAT The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority requests the Premier of Ontario not to appoint a Chairman of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, thereby allowing The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority members to democratically elect their own Chairman, as is the case with all other conservation authorities in the Province of Ontario." CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #7/94, the following Res. #A191/94 was passed: "THAT the appointment of an Authority Chair be referred to the Executive Committee for further consideration." The following information and discussion is provided to the Committee as background to this matter. Section III of the Rules for the Conduct of the Authority dated May 12, 1992, deals with Elections and Appointments. Subsection 8. (b), states: "(b) The order of procedure for the elections shall be: (i) the election of the Chair, if the Chair has not been appointed by the Lieutenant - Governor -in- Council pursuant to Sub - section (1) of Section 17 of the Act:" The Act referred to above is the Conservation Authorities Act and Section 17. - (1) states: " At the first meeting of an authority and thereafter at the first meeting held in each year, the authority shall appoint a chair and one or more vice - chairs from among the members of the authority, but where a grant is made to an authority under section 39, the Lieutenant Governor in Council may appoint the chair from among the members of the authority." The Conservation Authorities Act therefore gives the province, through the Lieutenant- Governor -in- Council, the ability, if it so chooses, to appoint the Chair of any authority to which the province gives a grant. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/94, SEPTEMBER 9, 1994 B264 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 17. APPOINTMENT OF CHAIR OF THE AUTHORITY (CONTD.) The issue of requesting of the province the ability to elect or appoint our own Chair was first raised by Resolution #32 at Authority Meeting #1/90, held February 23, 1990. Resolution #32 stated: "WHEREAS The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is now the only conservation authority to have its Chairman appointed by the Province of Ontario; AND WHEREAS the Province of Ontario has reduced its financial support to The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and, as a result, the Authority is now funded one -third by the regional municipalities, one -third from revenue and one- third from the Province of Ontario; BE IT RESOLVED THAT The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority requests the Premier of Ontario not to appoint a Chairman of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, thereby allowing The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority members to democratically elect their own Chairman, as is the case with all other conservation authorities in the Province of Ontario." A response from the Premier was received in a letter dated May 8, 1990. A copy of Premier Peterson's letter is attached as page B265 of these minutes for the Board's information. As additional background for this report, staff at the Ministry of Natural Resources were contacted to obtain information on the process the Ministry follows in identifying and appointing their representatives to the Authority and for the appointment of the Chair. To date complete details are not yet forthcoming. It would appear however, that only in our situation are both the appointees and the Chair selected through the Premier's Office and not through the office of the Minister of Natural Resources as is the case for all other authorities. Additional information on this process will be provided when received. DISCUSSION There are many technical and political arguments to be made on both sides of the issue as to whether MTRCA should elect its own Chair or have the Chair appointed by the province. Arguments that relate to the amount of funding that each partner contributes, as in the Resolution above, can be made, however, the balance between the contribution by the municipalities and the province remains about equal. - The province remains an important partner. In our case, of a total operating and capital budget expenditure of $37.965 million, the provincial share is $10.479 million, approximately one - third. The municipal levy is $13.308 million and revenues account for $11.160 million. Our member municipalities are also important partners who contribute financially, depending on the program, either based on the value of their tax base (equalized assessment) or as a benefiting municipality for individual projects which have a direct local benefit.

As you now know, John McGinnis was recently appointed Chairman by Order -in- Council for a one year term. I have noted your request that, in future, the MTRCA be permitted to elect its own Chairman from among its members. The MTRCA has jurisdiction throughout much of the Greater Toronto Area, where there is a strong interrelationship between conservation, planning and development issues. I am sure that the members of the Authority appreciate the significant role which the Authority plays in ensuring that development proceeds in an environmentally compatible manner. As a result of these considerations, the Province will continue to appoint the Chairman of the MTRCA. " Once again, thank you for writing. Sincerely, David Peterson EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE !x`7/94, SEPTEMBER 9, 1994 8266 SECTION 11 - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 17. APPOINTMENT OF CHAIR OF THE AUTHORITY (CONTD.) The percentage breakdown on our operating budget reflects a much lower contribution from the province at only 20% of the total operating budget of S20.205 million. The municipal levy and our own revenues account for the remaining 80 %, being S8.306 million and 57.910 million respectively. The municipal membership on the Authority reflects their financial contribution through the tax base; i.e., Metropolitan Toronto having the largest number of members. The provincial membership, with only three members, does not reflect, in any way, their financial contribution. This is offset to some extent however, by the continuing practice of appointing the Chair. Conservation Authorities are a very successful partnership between the province, the member municipalities and the community. Our membership reflects this partnership, with elected officials from the municipalities and citizen appointments by the municipalities and the province. Although it would be possible to have a provincial member of parliament appointed to the Authority, to my knowledge, this has never occurred. The Authority, constantly, develops and implements programs and projects that meet local, municipal and provincial objectives. The Authority must also try to balance its watershed objectives with those of the individual local and regional municipalities. The traditional relationship between the Ministry of Natural Resources and the authorities has changed substantially over the last few years as the authorities have developed partnerships with other provincial ministries, the federal government and non - government organizations. MTRCA and other authorities have also tried to reconnect with the community they serve, going back to our roots and the beginning of the conservation movement. The Chair of the MTRCA, therefore, must be able to function within an environment having many disparate partners and members. The Chair must be able to work at a level above parochial issues and deal on a watershed basis, no matter how appointed. The appointment or election of the Chair should be based on the criteria similar to those used for the filling of any senior position, resulting in the best possible person being selected. There is not however a job description for the Chair's position nor is there a description of the requirements or qualities which would be desirable. Some criteria which the Authority might want to set for the Chair would be someone that supports and believes in the conservation movement; understands the importance of watershed -based management; has political and community connections at all levels; and can represent the Authority well in many venues both at the community and political level. The Authority's municipal interests are well served by the municipal elected officials that are appointed to the Authority by our member municipalities. As such, our ability to access the municipal decision makers at both the staff and political levels through our municipal members has enabled the Authority to achieve its objectives at the municipal level. Issues and needs are quickly and effectively dealt with through these links with our municipal members. B267 SEPTEMBER 9, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/94 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 17. APPOINTMENT OF CHAIR OF THE AUTHORITY (CONTD.) Similar access to the Premier, Cabinet Ministers and other MPP's is equally important and should be a consideration when appointing the Chair. Whatever direction the Committee takes with respect to the appointment of the Chair, it would be reasonable for the Authority to give consideration to developing both a job description and a list of qualifications for this important position. Should the Committee decide to continue to have the province appoint the Chair or should the province reject our request to appoint our own Chair, the Authority should consider submitting a list of potential candidates along with our list of qualifications, to the province for their serious consideration. 18.

CONVEYANCE OF AUTHORITY OWNED LAND TO CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAY COMPANY (BRAMALEA LUMBER) - Mimico Creek Watershed - Vicinity of Derry Road and Airport Road, City of Mississauga KEY ISSUE Request from Canadian National Railway Company and Bramalea Lumber, to complete the conveyance of a small parcel of Authority owned land adjacent to C.N.R. holdings west of Airport Road, south of the Mimico /Malton Flood Control Channel, in order to resolve outstanding property issues. Res. #E155/94 Moved by: Seconded by: THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS: Richard O'Brien Jim Witty THAT WHEREAS The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is in receipt of a request from Canadian National Railway Company and Bramalea Lumber, a division of Greval Holdings Inc., to complete the conveyance of certain Authority owned land and whereas a tentative arrangement concerning the conveyance of .062 hectares (.153 acres), more or less, being part of Lots 343, 344, and 345 on Registered Plan TOR-4, City of Mississauga, Regional Municipality of Peel, has been agreed upon; THAT a parcel of Authority owned land containing .062 hectares (.153 acres), more or less, be conveyed to Canadian National Railway Company (Bramalea Lumber) on the following basis: (a) The price is to be an amount of $24,000 ($3.60 /square foot); (b) Canadian National Railway Company is to pay all legal and survey costs; (c) Completion of the conveyance will be subject to any Planning Act approvals that may be required; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect thereto, including obtaining all necessary approvals and the execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1972, the Authority constructed the Mimico /Malton Flood Control channel on the Mimico Creek, immediately west of Airport Road under Project W.C. 57, to provide flood relief to Old Malton Village. In order to facilitate the construction of the channel, lands were required from Canadian National Railway Company and the Authority had negotiated and received approval to deed this parcel to the C.N.R. as part of a land exchange. Unfortunately, we were not able to obtain the necessary Planning Act consent and the subject parcel was leased to C.N.R. for a term of 20 years and 11 months commencing March 1, 1980, and has been sub - leased to Bramalea Lumber. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/94, OCTOBER 14, 1994 8280 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 1. CONVEYANCE OF AUTHORITY OWNED LAND TO CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAY COMPANY (BRAMALEA LUMBER) (CONTD.) - Mimico Creek Watershed - Vicinity of Derry Road and Airport Road, City of Mississauga The Bramalea Lumber operations is on lands owned and leased by C.N.R. and includes the small parcel of Authority owned land. A storage area, including sheds, are found on the Authority owned portion of the leased property. The majority of the lands are within the Regional Flood Plain. Bramalea Lumber would like to upgrade their facilities; however, before they invest in the operation, they would like to purchase the property. C.N.R. has agreed to sell their lands at market value of $3.60 per square foot, however Bramalea Lumber feels it needs the Authority parcel to make their operations viable and has made the acquisition of the Authority property a condition of their purchase with C.N.R. Technical staff have reviewed the site and concluded that the parcel is not required for maintenance of the Flood Control channel. At Authority meeting #7/94, under Resolution #A185/94 it was resolved; "that the application of a Two -Zone concept for a portion of the Malton District be approved ". This Two -Zone concept allows development to occur within the flood fringe where the depths and velocities are non -life threatening, and prohibits development in the floodway. In the case of the Malton District, the floodway is confined to the channel. The subject property is in the flood fringe. The limitations of the subject property in respect to our policies and regulations will be clearly set out in appropriate documentation on closing. The subject lands consist of two small fragments, being parts of two larger areas acquired from Imperial Oil Limited and Margerat Paynter in November, 1971 and May, 1972, respectfully, under Project W.C.57 - Mimico Creek Channel Improvements. The proposed transaction, as tentatively arranged, has been extensively reviewed with the Authority's solicitor who has advised us that provided the transaction is completed on the basis as proposed, the original Order -in- Council obtained in February 1974, could still be utilized. While a new Order -in- Council will not be required, staff will be reviewing completion of this transaction with provincial officials prior to arranging for completion. RATIONALE Staff are prepared to recommend completion of the conveyance of the property as it is surplus to our needs and is within the flood fringe as defined by the Malton District Two -Zone Concept. It will also resolve an outstanding property issue. B281 OCTOBER 14, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/94 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 2.

THE MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO FOR TORONTO TRANSIT COMMISSION (TTC) PURPOSES - Request for permanent easement for the proposed subway line, located south of Sheppard Avenue, east of Leslie Street, City of North York 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 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. An easement for the purpose of a watermain was reserved by the North York General Hospital. The watermain needs to be relocated slightly to facilitate the subway, and therefore, the easement boundaries will be adjusted accordingly. 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. 3.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/94, OCTOBER 14, 1994 B300 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 8. AJAX /PICKERING WATERFRONT TRAIL - Detailed Design Engineering Contract Award KEY ISSUE Consultant proposals have been received for the detailed design engineering of a bridge and trail system in Ajax and Pickering. Analysis of the three proposals received is currently underway. Res. #E162/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Richard O'Brien Jim Witty THAT the firm of Johnson Sustronk Weinstein & Associates be hired to complete the detailed engineering for the Ajax /Pickering Waterfront Trail Project for a fee of $57,902; AND FURTHER THAT an additional amount of $15,400 be set aside for construction contract administration, contractor site meetings and inspections by the firm of Johnson Sustronk Weinstein & Associates. CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1993, the Waterfront Regeneration Trust submitted a funding request to jobsOntario for waterfront trail developments along the north shore of Lake Ontario. Authority staff identified four possible sites including the Duffins Creek river mouth, a portion of Pickering waterfront adjacent to the Durham Sewage Treatment plant, the Petticoat Creek river mouth, the Frenchman's Bay area and the Brimley Road area. All sites were submitted on the basis that additional negotiations and field investigations would be required. In the spring of 1994, the Waterfront Regeneration Trust was successful in obtaining the necessary support funding and now requires confirmation of projects that can be completed prior to March 31, 1995. In subsequent discussions with municipal staff, the Duffins Creek river mouth crossing and trail and a portion of the Pickering waterfront trail were considered possible project sites. The Towns of Ajax and Pickering and the Ajax and Pickering Rotary Clubs have agreed to supply the necessary funding in support of jobsOntario grants. At Authority Meeting #7/94, Res. #A186/94 was passed adopting the project and directing staff to retain consultants for the purpose of completing detailed engineering studies in preparation for trail construction. Six consultants were contacted and three proposals have been received. RATIONALE Hough Stansbury Woodland Nayor Dance Limited submitted a proposal for S50,983 including G.S.T. A supervision fee for full time contract supervision was not included in the proposal. Their proposal provided the least amount of information and the smallest time allocation for additional site analysis and alternative bridge design. These two tasks are critical to the successful design of a bridge and trail that meets the community concerns and environmental constraints. B301 OCTOBER 14, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/94 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 8. AJAX /PICKERING WATERFRONT TRAIL (CONTD.) - Detailed Design Engineering Contract Award Johnson Sustronk Weinstein & Associates submitted a proposal for $58,006 including G.S.T. Full time contract supervision was identified at an additional cost of $15,368. Their proposal provided the most complete assessment of work to be done for the site analysis and alternative bridge design tasks. Their proposed study team includes the necessary technical qualifications and experience. Totten Sims Hubicki Associates submitted a proposal for $74,316 including G.S.T. Full time contract supervision was identified at an additional cost of $12,793. Their proposal identified additional but unspecified costs for geotechnical investigations. Their technical study team did not have an experienced person in coastal processes and their analysis. In light of their clear identification of detailed site analysis and alternative bridge design tasks, their project team and their relevant experience, the firm of Johnson Sustronk Weinstein & Associates is recommended by staff. FINANCIAL DETAILS The total cost of the project is estimated at $600,000. Financial partners in the project include: Waterfront Regeneration Trust (committed) $420,000 Town of Ajax (committed) 140,000 Pickering /Ajax Rotary Clubs (committed) 30,000 Town of Pickering (committed) 65.000 TOTAL $655,000 All required funds have been committed to complete the bridge and trail system. The Authority is acting as the technical coordinator for the project and has contributed technical staff time and sundry support costs from the Trail Management portion of the 1994 Capital Development budget. 9.

The parties currently expressing an interest in the property include private individuals, representatives of institutions and corporations of substance. It is anticipated that offers favourable to the Authority may materialize from the current discussions during the next few months. Signs continue to be posted on the properties and new enquiries are being received on a continuous basis. 10. INTERIM WASTE AUTHORITY - DURHAM - Request to the Authority From Pickering Ajax Citizens Together KEY ISSUE Request to the Authority from Pickering Ajax Citizens Together to oppose the selection of site EE1 1 by the Interim Waste Authority as the Durham landfill location. Res. #E164/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Richard O'Brien Jim Witty THAT the correspondence from Pickering Ajax Citizens Together (PACT) regarding the site in Durham selected by the Interim Waste Authority as a landfill (pages B305 - B306), be received; EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/94, OCTOBER 14, 1994 B304 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 10. INTERIM WASTE AUTHORITY - DURHAM (CONTD.) - Request to the Authority From Pickering Ajax Citizens Together THAT PACT be advised that the Authority shares its concern for protection of ground and surface water resources from negative effects associated with landfill; THAT the Authority's concerns have been identified to the Interim Waste Authority, the Ministry of Environment and Energy, and the Office of Consolidated Hearings; AND FURTHER THAT the Authority's concerns are not specific to the Durham site but would apply to any proposed landfill. CARRIED BACKGROUND Pickering Ajax Citizens Together (PACT) has forwarded a request to the Authority to oppose the development of site EE11 as the future landfill site in Durham and has provided the wording for an Authority resolution to this effect. The Authority has been a commenting agency, under the Environmental Assessment Act, with respect to the selection of all three sites by the Interim Waste Authority. The Authority will also be involved in the hearings on these sites in its role as watershed manager and as permits are required pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158, made under the Conservation Authorities Act. The concerns identified by PACT are, in part, those identified by the Authority. The Authority has made its concerns known throughout the Environmental Assessment process and is on record as having unresolved issues. This information is contained in the government review document and has been summarized and filed with the Office of Consolidated Hearings. While the concerns raised by PACT are concerns of the Authority, they would apply to any potential landfill site. 8305 OCTOBER 14, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/94 August 30, 1994 J. Craig Mather, P Chief Administrate Metropolitan Toronto ana 5 Shoreham Dr., DOWNSVIEW, ON M3N 1S4 SEP 2 1994 SENiCR Pickering Ajax Citizens Together for the Envir ~' g. Dear Mr. Mather. f cer, gion Conservation Authority, RE: RESOLUTION RE LANDFILLS ON OAK RIDGES MORAINE Pickering /Ajax Citizens Together (PACT) is a volunteer citizens' organization which is dedicated to ending landfilling in Pickering /Ajax, an area of Durham Region which has been burdened with this destructive use for many years. Currently, the provincial government, through the Interim Waste Authority (IWA), is proposing what will amount to an extension of Metro's Brock West landfill. The new site is known as EE11. We noted with interest the resolution passed by the Authority on July 22, 1994 regarding siting of landfills on the Oak Ridges Moraine. MTRCA's resolution states that landfilling on the Moraine "...Would negatively affect the natural heritage, water resource and landform conservation system... ", and as such, supports the prohibition of this use on the Moraine. I am enclosing a copy of an August 1994 report prepared by Gartner Lee Limited, commissioned by PACT. On page 28 the report notes the IWA itself found that "there is some potential complexity of groundwater movement through the native tills beneath all sites as a result of the presence of discontinuities predicted by the...stratigraphic model." On page -44 the consultants note that "leachate escaping the facility could impact aquifers in a matter of months or a few years." The report also deals in a detailed manner with the IWA's failure to deal with the natural environment from an ecosystem perspective and the effect loss of baseflow from the proposed EE11 site could have on aquatic habitats (pages 4 to 12). .../2 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/94, OCTOBER 14, 1994 B306 n We urge the Authority to build upon its stand taken on the Oak Ridges Moraine by endorsing the following resolution: THAT the Authority indicate to the Interim Waste Authority its opposition to development of site EE11 (Durham - Pickering) due to the negative effects of leachate. run -off and reduced baseflow cn aquatic resources and habitats in the Rouge River/Duffins Creek /Petticoat Creek watersheds. especially in combination with the existing Brock West /Brock North and Beare Road sites. We look forward to your support in this vital matter.

BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE - Roblins Mill KEY ISSUE Approval to proceed with necessary repairs on Roblins Mill, in order to have the Mill fully operational for the 1995 season, using funds from the Nesbitt Sawmill Boiler Fund. Res. #E165/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Richard O'Brien Jim Witty THAT staff proceed with facility renewal of Roblins Mill and that the project cost of $ 100,000 be funded from the Nesbitt Sawmill Boiler Fund. CARRIED BACKGROUND Roblins Mill is an imposing five -story gristmill, the anchor of the 19th century village, and a central feature at Black Creek Pioneer Village. Roblins Mill has not been a fully operational gristmill for five years. As part of the 1994 Black Creek Pioneer Village Strategic Operating Review, the Mill has been identified as an immediate priority, for both facility renewal and for its capacity to attract interest and draw visitors. The objective of this project is to have the Mill completely operational by May, which is the beginning of the 1995 season. This would be accomplished by repairing current damage to the building and surrounding area, which has occurred over 25 years, and testing and setting of all the milling machinery, which requires outside milling expertise. Project Scope The project includes interior and exterior repairs to the Mill, grading to eliminate water damage, replacement of the sluice and repairs to the sluice gate, and milling machinery "diagnostic and tune -up" to bring to a safe operating state. Critical Path Sluice repairs will be undertaken in the late fall in order to permit water storage in the upper pond to begin as soon as possible in the spring. Mill machinery inspection and remedial work will be undertaken in the Fall with equipment overhaul scheduled for March, when an expert is available from Upper Canada Village. Interior work is to be completed during the winter with roofing and painting to be undertaken as soon as weather permits. Road grading is to take place in April when the ground has thawed and after other construction is completed.

BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE (CONTD.) - Roblins Mill FINANCIAL DETAILS Project cost of $100,000 is based on advice provided by a restoration architect and staff consultation with sub - contractors and suppliers. All estimates will be finalized with written quotations following the MTRCA Purchasing Policy. The following summarizes estimates for work to be completed: Building Repairs • Repairs to support beams, door frame alterations to sub - basement, electrical room insulation, window well repairs, replace roof shakes and repair crawl space ventilation. $ 71,300.00 • Sign - Roblins Mill 600.00 • Painting - soffits and windows 3,000.00 • Grading 6,000.00 • Sluice repair and replacement 9,000.00 • Mill machinery diagnostic and tune up $ 9,000.00 PROJECT TOTAL (taxes included) $ 99,900.00 In the late 1980's, funds were raised through The Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto to move and construct the Nesbitt Sawmill on the former Dalziel property. In addition, $71,000 was raised for the construction of the sawmill boiler, which was to be a functioning boiler to power the sawmill operation. The full costs of boiler construction, servicing the site, completing the restoration and operating the sawmill have escalated dramatically since the initial acquisition. Furthermore, the sawmill is not a separate entity, but rather a part of the whole north property which must be planned comprehensively to address all issues, including environmental issues which have changed in the past five years. The Conservation Foundation transferred the sawmill boiler funds, totalling $71,221, to the MTRCA in 1990. With interest at year end, the total will be $100,227.15. The Conservation Foundation is agreeable to diverting these funds to the Roblins Mill project. B309 OCTOBER 14, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/94 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 12. REVISED PROJECT FOR THE ETOBICOKE MOTEL STRIP WATERFRONT PARK (MARCH 1993) - Consultant Selection for Final Design of Shoreline Treatment KEY ISSUE To retain the services of consultants to complete the engineering drawings for final shoreline treatment for the Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park. Res. #E166/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Richard O'Brien Jim Witty THAT the consulting firm of Shoreplan Engineering Ltd. be retained to complete the engineering drawings for final shoreline treatment for the Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park at a total estimated fee of $42,800 (including G.S.T.). CARRIED BACKGROUND This item was to have been considered at Executive Meeting #7/94. However, no recommendation from staff was available at that time. On October 9, 1991, the Province of Ontario by Ontario Regulation Act 623/91 - order made under the Environmental Assessment Act, granted an exemption for the Etobicoke Motel Strip Public Amenity Scheme, subject to specific terms and conditions. One of these conditions required that the Authority must submit for approval, a detailed plan on lakefill prior to construction to include: • plans for landform which must fulfil federal requirements pertaining to fisheries and reflect the MTRCA fill line and satisfy the stormwater management requirements of the Ministry of the Environment; • fill quality • methods for control of fill quality; • construction methodology to minimize displacement of contaminated sediments and impact on water quality; and • monitoring during construction and to establish baseline conditions following construction. Preliminary concepts for shoreline treatments have been approved as part of the Public Amenity Scheme. In order to obtain the necessary approvals, the engineering details for shoreline treatment must be completed. Authority staff invited three Consulting Engineering firms to submit written proposals to undertake this work. These firms were: EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/94, OCTOBER 14, 1994 B310 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 12. REVISED PROJECT FOR THE ETOBICOKE MOTEL STRIP WATERFRONT PARK (MARCH 1993) (CONTD.) - Consultant Selection for Final Design of Shoreline Treatment Johnson, Sustronk Weinstein and Assoc. Atria Engineering Hydraulics Ltd. Shoreplan Engineering Ltd. Terms of Reference for this work have been reviewed by City of Etobicoke staff. RATIONALE Authority staff has received three proposals to complete the engineering drawings for final shoreline treatment for the Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park, the cost estimates are as follows (including G.S.T.): Johnson, Sustronk Weinstein and Assoc. Atria Engineering Hydraulics Ltd. Shoreplan Engineering Ltd. $39,343.90 $42,124.56 $42,800.00 Staff of the Authority and the City of Etobicoke have reviewed and evaluated the proposals. Each proposal was rated against a list of criteria, including: costing, project team, approach to the tasks, expertise and professional accountability, and the quality of the proposal. The proposal from Johnson, Sustronk Weinstein Ltd., although it was the lowest bid, did not meet the minimum level requirements within several key evaluation criteria. Therefore we could not consider their proposal further. When evaluating the remaining proposals from Atria Engineering Hydraulics Ltd. and Shoreplan Engineering Ltd., it was concluded that they both illustrated well - balanced project management teams, high levels of effort, good understanding of required tasks, and similar costing. Shoreplan Engineering Ltd. has been involved in many of the previous studies for the Motel Strip and it was concluded that the continuity, and past experience with the site was worth the minimal extra expenditure of $676 between the proposals. Authority staff are satisfied that Shoreplan Engineering Ltd. can complete the work in accordance with the terms of reference and therefore recommend that they be awarded the assignment. The City of Etobicoke staff concur with this recommendation. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE The consultant will be required to complete a coastal engineering analysis of the various preliminary shoreline treatments developed to date. This work will also include an assessment of the proposed fish compensation structures. To assist the consultant throughout the course of this study, a working group, comprising staff representatives from the City of Etobicoke, Metropolitan Toronto, Waterfront Regeneration Trust, and the MTRCA will review the design drawings and analysis. The consultant will complete the engineering drawings and specifications for all the final shoreline treatments and fish compensation structures. Finally, the consultant will submit a final report documenting the details of the analysis completed in assessing all the structures.

V37 0ur Flit: + RE: Draft Resolution Regarding Jurisdiction of Conservation Authorities Thank you for your letter of July 14, 1994 providing us with the draft resolution which is now before Council and asking for Authority input. Council may want to consider the following in their deliberations on this matter. As you know, Conservation Authorities are bodies established under provincial legislation and reflect a partnership between the watershed municipalities and the Province of Ontario. In our view, it is a matter of administrative expediency that under the current Conservation Authorities Act, the Minister through whom we report to the government has been designated as the Minister of Natural Resources. Indeed,. if one looks back over the past 50 years of conservation, Conservation Authorities have reported through numerous ministries. • The strength of Authorities has always been our ecosystem approach to managing natural resources and our focus on translating provincial initiatives to local program delivery. Being ecosystem managers, we have had to integrate the interests of many different provincial ministries, whether we reported through them or not. In 'doing so, we have had to develop relationships with the Ministries of Agriculture and Food, Environment and Energy, Municipal Affairs and Tourism and Recreation, to name a few. Being local program deliverers, we have had to blend the interests of the municipalities with those of the Province to come up with locally relevant programs. Perhaps it is a result of the natural tendency of large bureaucracies to assimilate and bring into conformity those things that are out of the ordinary that we find the Conservation Authority program being considered as a part of MNR. The correct. view of Authorities should be that we are local, independent cont'd. 1994 — FORTY YEARS OF CONSERVATION THROUGH COOPERATTON EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/94, OCTOBER 14, 1994 8314 3EP 12 X94 9 :00 FROM CREDIT VALLEY CONS Ms. M.

In our view, we should resist being aligned with any one ministry so that we can retain the essential flexibility needed to deal with local issues on an ecosystem basis. The issue you identify in your letter will probably remain an issue until we can find a way for Authorities to be accountable to the government without being absorbed into one of its ministries.

FLOODLINE MAPPING, GERMAN MILLS CREEK -Elgin Mills/Yonge Street, Town of Richmond Hill, Don River KEY ISSUE Award of engineering and mapping study for the delineation of floodlines on the German Mills Creek in The Town Of Richmond Hill Res. #E168/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Richard O'Brien Jim Witty THAT the firm of Marshall Macklin Monaghan Limited be awarded the German Mills Creek Floodline Mapping Study at a cost not to exceed $25,520. CARRIED BACKGROUND The German Mills Creek is a major tributary of the Don River with its headwaters in the northern portion of the Town of Richmond Hill, west of Yonge Street and north of Elgin Mills Road. The watercourse flows southeast to the intersection of Elgin Mills Road and Yonge Street where it passes under the road intersection through a culvert. The watercourse is piped downstream in a continuation of the road culvert for several hundred metres and then continues to flow southeasterly in a combination of piped and open reaches to where it crosses under the north bound C.N. rail lines. From this point southward, the watercourse flows in a well defined open channel to its confluence with the East Don River. The culvert under the Yonge Street, Elgin Mills intersection has approximately a 25 year flow capacity with large flows spilling over the intersection. Estimates of regulatory flow depths over the intersection relate to a spill depth of 0.7 metres. With a wide, flat, highly developed floodplain area downstream and the current treatment of the watercourse, it has been difficult to define depths and extent of flooding within the area. Previous work undertaken by the Town of Richmond Hill has identified the potential for flooding of a large portion of the industrial commercial area south of Elgin Mills Road, but due to mapping limitations, was not able to adequately define depths, velocities and extent of flooding within the area. RATIONALE The Authority has requested and received three proposals (prices do not include GST) for this study: (1) Marshall Macklin Monaghan Ltd. (2) Environmental Hydraulics Group (3) Aquafor -Beech Ltd. $23,850.00 $24,700.00 $24,362.00 The consultants were evaluated on the following criteria: EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/94, OCTOBER 14, 1994 B316 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 14.

Following completion of the flooding information, a flood data base will be produced which will identify each of the flood vulnerable structures, along with the frequency and depths of flooding compatible with our Don River G.I.S. FINANCIAL DETAILS This project has been ranked and funded by the Ministry of Natural Resources, the levy portion of the funding is in place from the Town of Richmond Hill. The works will be carried out under account 112-35 of the Water Resources Budget. FUTURE BENEFITS /PROBLEMS The study will produce flood information useful to the Authority in terms of its flood warning system, regulating development within the area in terms of minimizing flood risk associated with any redevelopment. In addition, the information will be essential in allowing the Town to determine land use planning directions for this area. 15.

Res. #E170/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Richard O'Brien Jim Witty THAT Tender ED94 -14 for supply of rip rap stone and armour stone be awarded to J. C. Wiles & Sons Ltd., at the tendered unit prices up to a total cost of $63,986.00 (including G.S.T.). CARRIED RATIONALE Quotations were requested from six quarry stone suppliers based on a total estimated requirement of 1,000 tonnes of armour stone and 2,300 tonnes of rip rap stone for the Ward's Island revetment. Only two suppliers submitted tenders. Staff contacted the four suppliers who did not submit quotations. Three of these suppliers indicated that, although the tender documents were received in time, the sales representatives received them too late due to their own company redirecting of mail. The remaining supplier was the source of material to another bidder, and therefore did not see a need to bid. Staff has reviewed the tender submitted and recommend that the quotation received for the supply of armour stone at the unit cost of $23.92 per metric ton from J. C. Wiles & Sons Ltd. be accepted. These unit prices are comparable to previous projects. Staff is also recommending that the quotations received for the supply of rip rap stone at the unit cost of $ 15.60 per metric ton from J. C.

INTERIM WASTE AUTHORITY - Representation at Hearings KEY ISSUE Legal representation for The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority at the three Consolidated Hearings with respect to the proposed landfill sites selected by the Interim Waste Authority. Res. #E172/94 Moved by: Seconded by: Brian Harrison Jim Witty THAT the Executive Committee endorse the staff request for party status at the Consolidated Hearings to be held for the three landfills proposed by the Interim Waste Authority; AND FURTHER THAT Gardiner, Roberts be requested to represent the Authority's interests at the Hearings. CARRIED BACKGROUND In August, 1994, the Authority received a Notice of Public Hearing under the Consolidated Hearings Act for each of the landfills proposed by the Interim Waste Authority and registration forms to file, by September 8, 1994, with the Office of Consolidated Hearings to ensure participation in the Hearings. The Conservation Authorities Act and Ontario Regulation 158 have been consolidated in the hearings. Staff requested party status on behalf of the Authority; however, part -time or participant status may later be determined to be more appropriate. Preliminary meetings have been held for each of the three sites: Durham September 20, 1994 Metro/York September 26, 1994 Peel October 3, 1994 Dates for the preliminary hearings have been set for: Durham October 27 and 28, 1994 Peel November 24 and 25, 1994 Metro/York November 29 and 30, 1994 At the preliminary hearing those seeking status must justify their participation. To facilitate the work of the Board, all interested participants were requested to file a preliminary issues list with the Board staff in advance of the preliminary meetings. In order to participate effectively in the hearings, legal representation will be required. Staff have met with representatives from Gardiner, Roberts to determine whether they have the staff capability to assist at three hearings; whether there would be any conflict between the interests of the Authority and those of other clients they are representing at the hearings; and, to determine potential costs associated with legal representation. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/94, OCTOBER 14, 1994 B320 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 18. INTERIM WASTE AUTHORITY (CONTD.) - Representation at Hearings Staff are satisfied that Gardiner, Roberts will effectively represent the Authority's interests and that there is no conflict of interest with other clients. Gardiner, Roberts is representing the City of Brampton at the Peel hearing and the Township of King at the York hearing. The position being taken on behalf of these municipalities is not in conflict with the interests of the Authority. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Given Gardiner, Roberts representation of Brampton and King and their familiarity with the work of the Authority, staff believe that economies can be achieved that will minimize the costs of Authority representation at the hearings. Estimated costs are in the order of $40,000. This will be included in the 1995 budget. 19.

November 1, 1994 GLL 94-267 Metro Toronto and Region Conservation Authority 5 Shoreham Drive Downsview, Ontario M3N 1S4 Attention: Mrs. Alyson C. Deans Manager, Corporate Planning and Analysis Dear Mrs. Deans: Re: Review of Step 7 Pump Test Data for IWA Site V-4a This letter outlines our findings with respect to the pump test that was performed by the IWA at Site V-4a in the City of Vaughan. As instructed in your letter dated September 15, 1994, we have reviewed these results to determine their significance relative to the conclusions of our previous report "Review of IWA Step 6 Evaluation" (August 12, 1994; GLL 94 -149). In that report, we reached the following conclusions regarding Site V-4a (p.23 -24): "At the York/Metro site (V -4a), baseflow loss to the upper East Humber River (Cold Creek) could be very significant, since we estimate that recharge within the site area provides up to 50% of the discharge to a known cold water fishery that supports a resident brook trout population. Recharge at the site also provides up to 50% of the local discharge to the Upper West Don River, but this system supports typically warm water fish species that are not dependent on ground water discharge. Nevertheless, such significant reductions in baseflow quantities may affect the ability of these fish to survive under extreme low flow conditions (i.e., drought). Of the three preferred sites, the York Region site appears to have the most potentially significant watershed impacts, primarily due to the tremendous size of the site, the presence of extensive aquifers at very shallow depths beneath the site, and the presence of brook trout downstream where ground water discharge points may exist." B332 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE NOVEMBER 25, 1994 • Page 2 Metro Toronto and Region Conservation Authority November 1. 1994 DATA COLLECTION To date, the IWA have been unwilling or unable to release any substantial data regarding their Step 7 work. Therefore, we instead met with Jagger Hims Limited on October 5, 1994. Jagger Hims have been retained by the City of Vaughan to observe the IWA's Step 7 field work and have some of the data from the pump test available. Jagger Hims were able to provide Gartner Lee with some of the raw data and explain their field observations during the pump test. It should be noted, however, that our mutual instructions precluded any common conclusions or analysis of the significance of the data. It should also be noted that the IWA have drilled further boreholes on Site V-4a during the course of the Step 7 field work. The locations and depths of these holes would likely prove very valuable in terms of verifying our interpretation and conclusions. The MTRCA should continue to press the IWA to release these additional data as soon as possible, given the short time frame that the IWA has imposed on the review and hearings process. ANALYSIS The pump test was carried out by the IWA in July 1994. Briefly, the IWA drilled a 200 mm (8 ") diameter pumping well into the Main Sand aquifer, in the eastern part of the site. In fact, the well screen straddles a coarse sandy gravel layer which was found within the Main Sand aquifer. The well was pumped for a total of eight days at rates up to 13.3 1/s (175 gpm). Very limited drawdown effects were noted in the pumping well relative to the high pumping rate. Small drawdowns were also observed in several observation wells located in the vicinity of the pumping well; for example, wells within 100 m of the pump well experienced drawdowns of only 20 cm or less. Following the completion of the pumping test, all of the wells recovered to their original static levels very quickly. All of the above suggests a productive aquifer. We analysed the pump testing data using several pump test analysis techniques. Our analyses confirm that the Main Sand aquifer is a productive water supply. Our conclusions regarding potential baseflow impacts due to landfill construction and operation focussed more on the shallow Upper Sand aquifer directly beneath the site than on the deeper Main Sand aquifer where IWA chose to conduct the pumping test. It is the Upper Sand which relies mostly on recharge from the site and, in turn, it is the Upper Sand which appears to directly connect to Cold Creek and the Upper West Don rivers. Therefore, the productivity of the Main Sand aquifer does not directly affect our conclusions regarding watershed impacts. Unfortunately, we have no data regarding the direct effects of the pumping test on the Upper Sand aquifer. The IWA may not have monitored effects on the Upper Sand aquifer during the testing. (94 -267) NOVEMBER 25, 1994 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 6333 • Page 3 Metro Toronto and Region Conservation Authority November 1, 1994 However, our analyses of the pump testing data does show that the Main Sand aquifer is quite "leaky ", meaning that a significant amount of water extracted during the pumping test was drawn into the aquifer from other zones either above or below the Main Sand. This is important information since it confirms and strengthens our own conclusion based on a water budget approach that infiltration at the site recharges not only the Upper Sand aquifer, but there is also a component of leakage down into the Main Sand aquifer as well. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS We can conclude based on this review that the pump testing data and the limited amount of new geological and hydrogeological data that are available support our earlier conclusions (outlined above). While the focus of the IWA's pump test was the Main Sand aquifer rather than the Upper Sand aquifer, which we believe is more critical in terms of potential baseflow impacts, their results have nevertheless strengthened our confidence in the water budget calculations we used to draw our earlier conclusions. We remain concerned that the 1WA has not adequately addressed the issue of baseflow impacts within the watersheds in an integrated manner that is consistent with an ecosystem approach. We recommend that the MTRCA continue to press the IWA to release their Step 7 data, given the short time frame established for the review and hearings process. We believe that some of the new drilling, sampling and testing data would be relevant to our evaluation of watershed impacts and should be reviewed as soon as possible.

PROJECT FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE ALTONA FOREST ENVIRONMENTALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA (CONTD.) - Giuliana, Luigi and Concetta DiNardo Property BACKGROUND Resolution #A80/93, #A81/93, #A83/93 and #A84/93, Authority Meeting #3/93, April 23, 1993 approving the project. Negotiations have been conducted with the owners and their solicitors, Mr. Will Walker of Walker Head, Barrister and Solicitor, 1305 Pickering Parkway, Suite 506, Pickering and Mr. Ron Hawkshaw of the firm Polak, McKay & Hawkshaw, Unit #16, 467 Westney Road, South, Ajax. The owners have been advised of the approvals required for this transaction to proceed, including that of the Town of Pickering. The arrangement, as negotiated, comes after extensive discussions involving representatives of the Authority, the Town of Pickering and the Province of Ontario. The tentative agreement meets with the requirements of all agencies involved, and avoids the requirement for the acquisition boundary for this property to be litigated further at the Ontario Municipal Board. The vendors have advised staff that for tax reasons, they would be unwilling to enter into any agreement to sell the land other than under the threat of expropriation notwithstanding agreement on price. Staff has advised the vendors that the Authority will proceed, if necessary, to expropriate based upon the price as set out herein, and on this basis only, the vendors have indicated that they would enter into the Agreement of Purchase and Sale and waive expropriation proceedings. In addition to negotiations for this property, discussions are in the final stages with Dr. J. Murray Speirs and his advisors for the acquisition of the 6.667 acre portion of his property required for the Altona Forest Project through a potential donation. Dr. Speirs has indicated that prior to completing his donation, it is essential that a firm agreement for the acquisition of the DiNardo property be at hand. The Director of the Water Resource Division has reviewed this proposal and is in concurrence with the purchase of the property as tentatively arranged. RATIONALE The land being acquired is situate within the approved acquisition boundary of the Project for the Acquisition of the Altona Forest Environmentally Significant Area. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding for this acquisition will be charged to the project for the Altona Forest. While the Provincial funding of $10 million has been fully committed, approximately $350,000 remains from the amount of $400,000, earlier approved by the Town of Pickering. A private donation of $33,333 has recently been obtained by Charles Sauriol and staff is optimistic funding requests currently in progress to the federal government, The Challenge Program of the Ontario Heritage Foundation, Nature Conservancy Canada, the Regional Municipality of Durham and special interest groups will provide the necessary funds to assist the Authority in completing this purchase.

As this land was the rear portion of her property, the Authority also acquired a temporary right -of -way for access. This right -of -way is to be released when the owner requested that the right -of -way be relocated; or the Authority acquires adjacent land that provides alternative access; or the owner opens a permanent road that provides access to Authority property.

CENTRE ISLAND SEAWALL ITORONTO ISLANDS PROJECTI ICONTD.) -Additional Work BACKGROUND Pursuant to Resolution #E121 /94 adopted by the Executive Committee at its Meeting #6/94 on August 12, 1994, Contract ED94- 10, Seawall Repairs, Centre Island, Toronto, was awarded to 812728 Ontario Inc. at the tendered unit prices up to a total cost of $84,138.38 lincluding G.S,T.), It was intended that this work would include the repair of all deteriorated concrete sections over the entire length of the 1,700 metre long seawall. The contractor is nearing completion of the work based on the estimated Quantities, however, only the easterly one third length of the seawall can be repaired within the contract value. The extent and magnitude of the repair limits have increased significantly due to hidden deterioration of the concrete that was not originally visible, but became evident during the preparation of the patches. Most of the larger areas requiring repairs are located along the lakeward face of the seawall. The consultant has approved two alternate repair techniques which the contractor is prepared to carry out at reduced unit prices. The consultant's estimate to complete the required repairs for the remaining length of seawall is $200,000. The Technical Steering Committee for the Toronto Islands Erosion Control Project has recommended that the contract be extended so that additional repair work be completed subject to weather conditions. It was recommended that an additional $56,000 of repairs be completed in 1994 and the balance of work (estimated $ 144,000) be re-tendered in 1995, subject to funding approval. RATIONALE The Centre Island concrete seawall was originally constructed in 1937 and it is a high priority that all the required repairs be completed under this project. The contract should be extended for the following reasons: - The consultant is satisfied that the revised unit prices are reasonable for this type of concrete repair work. - The low lake level conditions at this time of year allows for more repair work to be done in the dry at the lower unit price than for underwater repair. - It is necessary to complete as much repair work as possible in order to utilize existing funds. Additional approv'als will be required to extend the jobsOntario capital funds beyond March 1995. - The contractor has carried out the work to date in a professional manner, and has been very cooperative in ensuring the work meets the required standards.

PROJECT FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE CANADA POST CORPORATION PROPERTY -Interim Management Arrangements KEY ISSUE Immediate demolition of storage building situate at the Canada Post property. Res. #E186/94 Moved by: Richard O'Brien Seconded by: Jim Witty THA T a contract for demolition of the storage building situate immediately west of the main building at the Canada Post property in the City of Mississauga, be awarded to Vic Priestly Limited at an amount not to exceed $15,000; THAT said work be completed at the earliest possible date and by no later than December 31, 1994; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action may be required, including the execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND Under staff report dated September 1, 1994, the members of the Executive Committee at Meeting #9/94, held on September 9, 1994, were advised of the status of interim management arrangements being explored and progress being made with respect to demolition of the buildings on the Canada Post property. B352 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE NOVEMBER 25, 1994 SECTION \I -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 10. PROJECT FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE CANADA POST CORPORATION PROPERTY (CONTD.1 -Interim Management Arrangements Due to the excessive size and hazardous substances in the main building, together with the problem of contamination on site, preparation of the tender package for the main demolition contract has been extremely complex and extensive. It is anticipated that the Quotation tender package will be available for contractors early next week, with Quotations proposed to be at hand to be opened by the Executive Committee at the next meeting scheduled for December 2, 1994. Unfortunately, it has now become urgent that the small storage building be demolished as expeditiously as possible. The reason for this is that certain services in the storage building will be required to be upgraded at substantial costs if this building is allowed to remain. Meetings have been held with Authority staff and the Mississauga Fire Department and it has been agreed that if the storage building is removed immediately, services can be capped adjacent to the main building and the cost of repair of the services, which will not be needed for the Authority's park development, can be avoided. The cost of restoring services or other alternatives required to satisfy the requirements of the fire department could approach the actual cost of demolition of the storage building, with the building ultimately being scheduled for demolition within the next two months. In order to avoid this waste of public money, a Quotation was obtained from Vic Priestly who is prepared to commence this work immediately at an amount not to exceed $15,000, with all work being carried out to the satisfaction of the Authority. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds are available for this work under Code #004-07-399, Project for the Acquisition of the Canada Post Corporation Property. 11.

It has proven to be a very unreliable copier with parts difficult to obtain and an average down time of eight hours per service call. It runs 60,000 copies monthly. Xerox 1050 This machine was originally purchased in 1 986 for head office copy use but was "retired" to the Village in 1992. The lower volumes extended the life of the copier but it has reached the end of its usable life, Xerox 1 090 This machine was purchased in 1987, As a production copier, it was designed to handle 100,000 - 250;000 copies monthly and is now handling 175,000 monthly. With this volume, its life expectancy was seven years, Frequent repairs and the need to upgrade the features show this machine needs to be replaced, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/94, DECEMBER 2, 1994 B362 SECTION I -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 2. PURCHASE OF PHOTOCOPY EQUIPMENT (CONTD.l -Replacement EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS The objective is to find four reliable copiers with features that will handle current and future needs. The Xerox 1090, our current production copier, now handles 2,1 million copies yearly, There is increasing need to be able to copy on 11 X 17 sheets. Additional speed will improve efficiency. The Nashua and Gestetner copiers were originally purchased through Nashua and Gestetner. In 1993, both companies were purchased by Savin Canada. Since then, the servicing and the reliability has been very poor. As a result, a service oriented company is most important in meeting our needs. AL TERNA TIVES la) Contractino Out Consideration was given to contracting out large copy jobs, agendas and minutes thus eliminating the need for a production copier, however Quick turnaround time and reliability is needed for agendas and minutes. Several local print shops were contacted, but none could guarantee the time frame required. Also, taking into account staff time for delivery/pick-up, costs were higher than in- house production. lb) Purchase of New Eauioment Minimum specifications to meet the Authority's requirements were prepared. Six companies were contacted and proposals were received on "cost per copy" plan, leasing and outright purchase. Funding limitations led to a decision to seek two walk-up copiers as opposed to three. The BCPV copier will be replaced with one of the existing walk-up copiers from head office, There are only two companies that manufacture high-volume production copiers, Xerox and Kodak, Calls were made to the Region of Peel, the City of Vaughan, the City of Toronto and The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto printing centres. With the exception of Peel (which is using Kodak eQuipmentl, all were using Xerox equipment and were Quite pleased with servicing and equipment requirements. Each substantiated our findings that Kodak and Xerox are the only two companies making high volume copiers. Many expressed some concern about maintenance performed through third party service organizations. Our experience with Xerox over the past seven years is that Xerox has demonstrated Quality and reliability. Exdos offers rebuilt production copiers. There are numerous companies capable of handling the walk-up copier needs. Kodak, Xerox, Danka (Sharpl, Canadu lKonica/Ricohl, Exdos lrebuilt Xeroxl and Pitney Bowes were requested to demonstrate their equipment. Features were considered and calls were made to existing copier customers to substantiate the performance of each machine. Three companies, Sharp, Xerox and Kodak were short listed and were asked to submit detailed proposals. All three companies were determined to have very similar features, servicing'and value. All three have the capacity to do double sided copying as a default for paper savings. B363 DECEMBER 2, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/94 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 2, PURCHASE OF PHOTOCOPY EQUIPMENT (CONTD.l -Replacement COSTS Current servicing cost for the production copier is ,95 cents per copy.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/94, DECEMBER 2, 1994 B364 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 2. PURCHASE OF PHOTOCOPY EQUIPMENT (CONTD.l -Replacement The Exdos proposal was rejected because it was rebuilt equipment and involved unacceptable risk. If servicing were to fail, it would be costly to convert maintenance and toner over to Xerox. Further, there may be a $25,000 licensing fee on the rebuilt production copier for the use of the software. The Konica/Ricoh and the Pitney Bowes proposals were rejected because the prices were considerably more than the others, Of the three walk-up copiers that were short listed, Xerox was rejected because of price, while Kodak was rejected because although it was similar in price to the Sharp product, it had only a one year freeze on maintenance costs. The Kodak production machine, while priced comparably to Xerox, was rejected because it did not have 11 X 17 capabilities. With the Xerox copier, some savings in maintenance costs can be achieved by copying two, 8 1/2 X 11 sheets onto one 11 X 17 sheet and cutting into half. CONCLUSION It is in the Authority's best interest to award the Quote to two different companies. For the production machine, staff recommend purchasing the Xerox 5100 over a two year lease with annual payments of $35,637 for a total cost of $71,274. The actual purchase price was $70,000, the difference being the 5.3 % interest over a two year period. This rate is equivalent to the Authority's return on investments for 1994. For the two walk-up copiers, staff recommend purchasing the two Sharp copiers at a total cost of $42,892. Although they were the second lowest price, Sharp will guarantee a three year freeze on maintenance costs. As part of the purchase of two walk-up copiers, Sharp has agreed to provide BCPV with a 50 copy per minute machine with the necessary features at no cost, The maintenance and toner cost of 1.2 cents per copy rather than the 1,5 cents BCPV is paying now will save the Village $ 210 a year and will provide a reliable copier. FUNDING The existing Nashua, Gestetner and Xerox copiers will be sold to a third party organization or traded to Sharp, whichever is to our financial advantage, It is anticipated that between $15,000 and $20,000 will be realized from sale of the used equipment. Funds from sale of equipment will be used to offset the draw from reserves. The 1994 reserve contribution will be about $35,000. In 1995 and 1996, the Authority will budget for the two payments for the production copiers ($35,637 annuallyl, B365 DECEMBER 2, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/94 -. - - - SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 3, INTERIM GREENSPACE PROTECTION AND ACQUISITION PROJECT 1993 - 1995 FLOOD PLAIN AND CONSERVATION COMPONENT -Etobicoke Creek Watershed, Snelcrest Gardens Inc.

SALE OF SURPLUS AUTHORITY OWNED LANDS (CONTD.l - Humber River Watershed/Claireville Area, City of Brampton (f) The purchaser will be required to use storm water best management practices and it is the Authority's preference to have storm water control and/or treatment provided on the surplus parcels. AND FURTHER THA T the avai/ability of the subject lands be advertised publicly for sale at msrket value. " While this agreement does not contain any building height restrictions, the Authority has retained a 20 metre buffer from the top of slope. The municipality will have a set back requirement from the rear property line and the general nature of the development to the south of this property is low rise industrial. The purchaser has indicated that the property development will not require an outfall into the valley and therefore, has not included the requirement to prepare a community reach plan. When this development proceeds, and if the developer requests an outfall or other intrusion in the valley, the Authority can at that time impose this condition, The purchaser has indicated that he will not pay for establishing the vegetated buffer. In view of the fact that the Authority is obtaining fair market value in this instance, this work will be undertaken by the Authority from the proceeds of the sale. This property has been extensively marketed through public tender, newspaper advertising and signs on the property as well as distribution of information packages. A copy of the Offer to Purchase, with the changes suggested by the Authority's solicitor, follows as pages B370 - B374 of these minutes. We have been advised these changes are acceptable to Mr. Borenstein. A current independent appraisal of the surplus Authority owned land indicate that $85,000 per acre is the estimated current market value of the subject lands.

ETOBICOKE MOTEL STRIP WATERFRONT PARK - SOIL AND GROUNDWATER QUALITY ANALYSIS STUDY (CONTD.l -Consultant Selection for Phase 2 Environmental Study BACKGROUND In order to carry out the proposed design concept for the Public Amenity Area lMarch 1993 Projectl, roadway construction, and storm water Quality pond and trunk storm sewer system at the Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park, a large excavation of soil will be required. Records indicate that the location of the shoreline in this area has been altered since 1935 and that a great volume of fill material has been disposed of at this location as lakefill starting in the late 1950's. In November, 1994, Authority staff completed a draft Phase 1 soil Quality study. The objective of this study was to assess the suitability of the soils to be excavated for use as lakefill at the Motel Strip site. The draft study found that the soils on site are not suitable for lakefill in any capacity. The results of the chemical analysis performed on the soils as part of this study also indicated that the potential exists for some soil remediation requirements on site as certain samples exhibited elevated readings for various contaminants. In addition, the results also called into Question the suitability of soils on site to remain on site in a parkland setting. The MOEE has advised staff that the soil and groundwater conditions on site must be investigated further. In order to assess the soil Quality at the Motel Strip Waterfront Park site and determine the options for reuse of the soils on site and/or the options for remediation of the soils, a Phase 2 soil Quality study must be completed. Authority staff invited four consulting engineering firms to submit written proposals to undertake this work. These firms were: Dames and Moore Canada Ltd., Briggs Environmental Canada Ltd., Decommissioning Consulting Services Ltd. and Raven Beck Environmental Ltd. RATIONALE Authority staff has received three proposals for the Phase 2 soil and groundwater study at the Motel Strip site. The cost estimates are as follows lincluding G,S.T,I: Raven Beck Environmental Ltd. $23,578.52 Briggs Environmental Canada Ltd. $35,181.60 Decommissioning Consulting Services Ltd. $35,657,75 Dames and Moore Canada Ltd. did not submit a proposal Authority staff has reviewed and evaluated the proposals. Each proposal was rated against a list of criteria including costing, project team, approach to the tasks, expertise and professional accountability, and the Quality of the proposal. The Raven Beck proposal showed good understanding of the required tasks and a strong experienced study team with good commitment from senior staff. Staff is satisfied that Raven Beck Ltd. can complete the work in accordance with all aspects of the terms of reference and therefore recommend that they'be awarded the assignment.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/94 TERMS OF REFERENCE HUMBER RIVER WATERSHED STRATEGY LAND USE PLANNING STUDY the metropolitan toronto and region conservation authority NOVEMBER 7,1994 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/94, DECEMBER 2, 1994 B380 1.0 PURPOSE To determine the existing and future land use patterns within the Humber River watershed to provide the basis for the completion of a detailed hydrologic model of the Humber River. The land Use Planning Study will be available to the Humber River Watershed Task Force for their use in developing the Humber River Watershed Strategy. 2.0 BACKGROUND In 1989, the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority recommended a Greenspace Strategy to address the conservation of the lake Ontario waterfront, the river valleys and the Oak Ridges Moraine Complex. In part, the Strategy proposed that the Authority establish planning task forces for each major river watershed. In 1990, the first watershed management strategy, The Comprehensive Basin Management Strategy for the Rouge River Watershed, was adopted by the Authority, In 1994, the second watershed management strategy, Forty Steps to a New Don, was adopted by the Authority, On October 28, 1994, the Authority approved the establishment of a Humber River Watershed Task Force, anticipated to commence in February 1995, The Task Force will be responsible for developing a Humber River Watershed Strategy that will aim to achieve a sustainable, healthy watershed for the Humber River using an ecosystem based approach. The Task Force members will be provided with the Humber River Watershed Atlas - Phase I, consisting of a general overview of the state of the Humber River watershed ecosystem, This Atlas will be used by the members to become familiar with the watershed and as a tool to base, focus and coordinate future planning, stewardship, consultation and regeneration efforts, The Cultural Features component of the Atlas will address existing land use, committed development and future land use within the watershed. Determining land use patterns is essential for a number of reasons, including the development of a hydrologic model for the watershed. Hydrologic modelling is required for the development of stormwater management policies, as well as for use in flood plain management.

STAFF STRUCTURE AND COMPLEMENT KEY ISSUE In May of 1993, a status report on the Review and Update of the Corporate Strategy by the Chief Administrative Officer was received by the Evaluation and Review Committee. One of the identified steps that was to follow, was a review of the staff structure and complement. This review has been completed and the recommended staff structure and complement is provided in this report. Res. #E198/94 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Jim Witty THAT the new staff organizational structure be approved; THAT the Full Time Staff Complement List be reduced from 254 to 242 and distributed as per the Summary Chart, page 8402; AND FURTHER THAT the Personnel Manual be amended accordingly. CARRIED BACKGROUND At its meeting #1/93, the Evaluation and Review Sub-Committee met to review and discuss a report prepared by the Chief Administrative Officer on the Review and Update of the Corporate Strategy, The Evaluation and Review Committee received this report and requested that at such time as a new staff structure was prepared, that a report be brought to the Executive Committee. Due to the length of time since this report was received by the Evaluation and Review Committee, it is reproduced below. This report sets out the background for the work that staff have continued to do on the review of the staff organization as well as the staff complement. The following italicized section of this report outlines the resulting staff structure and recommendations with respect to the staff complement. BACKGROUND In 1987/88, the Authority invested time and effort in the development of a Corporate Strategic Management Plan. The plan was developed by the management team in consultation with all of our employees and with the assistance of an outside faCilitator. The process and resultant plan provided many positive benefits for the organization: our Mission Statement, our Greenspace Strategy and its component program strategies. The Strategic Management Plan helped us to better define our business and our relationships with our many partners; to place more emphasis on our dealings with clients/customers; and to take a longer-term strategic view of the impact of all our activities on our corporate objectives, ---- -- ------ B397 DECEMBER 2, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/94 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 8. STAFF STRUCTURE AND COMPLEMENT (CONTD.l In this period of limited resources, it is essential that we refocus our efforts and resources to most effectively accomplish our corporate objectives, When I (J. C, Matherl accepted the position of Chief Administrative Officer in October, 1992, I committed myself to undertake a thorough review of corporate structure and resource allocation to ensure effectiveness, In November, 1992, I reported to the Authority on our Financial Management Strategy, a tool to more effectively determine corporate priorities and evaluation of results in the allocation of our financial and human resources. In December, I established a strategy review team to review and update our Corporate Strategy. The review team has been operating with periodic assistance from the same facilitator who assisted us in 1987. RA T10NALE We, like our funding partners, are caught between increasingly constrained financial resources and increasing public demand in our role as environmental managers of the watersheds. To resolve some of the resource allocation difficulties in our delivery systems and to chart corporate direction for the next five years we must undertake a thorough review and update of our corporate strategy to better serve the organization and our many partners and clients. Senior staff have made the review of our strategy a top priority activity for 1993. Once the Strategy Review Team, in conjunction with the Evaluation and Review Committee has finalized corporate direction, we will be consulting with staff as to what changes are necessary in our various business units to best operationalize our strategic direction. The consultation process will be extensive and will require time and commitment from all of our employees. The unique role of the Authority has been supported and confirmed by the work of the Royal Commission on the Future of the Toronto Waterfront, the Commission for Planning and Development Reform in Ontario and discussions with municipalities and the province, The important work, beginning with the Greenspace Strategy in 1989, has brought into focus the role of the Authority in coordinating an ecosystem management approach based on watershed, This work encompasses both maintaining and improving the health of our watershed systems and managing our lands to enhance the quality of life in the community. The advocacy of the Greenspace Strategy has come to fruition in the establishment of the Don Watershed Task Force. To be in position to expand this approach to our other watersheds, we must assess and direct our existing resources. To effectively operationalize our business as managers of healthy watersheds we must move: FROM TO a Divisional/Sectional focus a Corporate focus a Program/Project focus a Watersheds focus a Program-driven delivery system a Strategic-driven delivery The Strategy Review team feels that there are six important perspectives to our focus in the 90's: EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/94, DECEMBER 2, 1994 8398 SECTION \I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 8, STAFF STRUCTURE AND COMPLEMENT (CONTD.l (1 ) Corporate Focus This means that we will have an organization and management processes which facilitate and support the integration of efforts targeted at achieving our corporate direction. (2) Watersheds Focus This means that we will move from having a program, activity, works focus to having a watershed focus, recognizing the natural boundaries of our watersheds, crossing local and regional jurisdictions. (3) Customer Focus . This means that our program delivery systems will focus on customer needs. (4) Strategic Focus This means that we will move from being issues and program driven to being strategically driven (long term implications). (5) Collaborative Values Teamwork and participation in an open environment where a balance in concern for people and concern for production/delivery wi'll be the norm. (6) Performance Management Managing clear expectations of all staff in supporting our strategic and operational plans will be the norm. The process will be one of communication, negotiation and review and collaboration with employees. Employees will know, on a regular basis, where they stand on performance against expectations. The following operating structure is being explored: WA TERSHEDS MANA GEMENT DIVISION Essentially our current Water Resource Division, We are working on a restructuring of this Division that would more effectively demonstrate our Watersheds Management focus. WA TERSHEDS OPERA TIONS DIVISION Our current Field Operations Division with: 1) stronger emphasis on the management of healthy watersheds in a/l our operations; 2) more integration of operations with the Watersheds Management Division; e.g., operations staff actively involved in resource management issues in their particular watersheds. B399 DECEMBER 2, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/94 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 8, STAFF STRUCTURE AND COMPLEMENT (CONTD,1 FOUNDA TlON More integration of the Foundation's interests with our planning and development processes, as their partnership is critical to our future funding. CORPORA TE MARKETING The existing Community Relations Group with some restructuring and with a much greater emphasis on Marketing and Communicating our corporate message and our Watersheds Management Focus, Currently most of the efforts of the group focus on our public use facilities. PROJECT MANA GEMENT OFFICE A function that acts as controller of the project management process by ensuring that no project which is not planned and approved to MTRCA standards is allowed to proceed -- that is, no approved plan, no work, This function should act as a focal point for defining projects and separating projects from normal work activities. CORPORA TE SERVICES Existing Finance and Administration Division. HUMAN RESOURCE OFFICE Existing structure remaining within the Finance and Administration Division. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE (1 ) Agreement on key corporate performance indicators. (2) Review of the organization structure reorganization to actualize our focus on the management of healthy watersheds as our primary business. (3) Review of resource allocations to ensure that our key business interests are appropriately staffed and funded. (4) Consult with as many employees as possible on how our corporate direction can be most effectively operationalized in our various business units, (5) Establish a five year implementation schedule. After receiving the support of the Evaluation and Review Committee, work on the "next steps" identified in the above report has progressed. Emphasis has been placed on reviewing and developing an organizational structure which will facilitate and support our focus on the management of healthy watersheds as our primary business. A commitment had been made to involve as many staff at all levels as possible, in the review and development of an organizational structure. In meeting this commitment, a two day staff workshop was held in July of 1993. Based on the results of this workshop, five smaller task forces were formed to look at particular aspects of the organization. Membership on these task forces was drawn from a cross section of staff both with direct interests in the area to be reviewed EXECUTI\IE COMMITTEE #10/94, DECEMBER 2, 1994 B400 SECTION \I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 8. STAFF STRUCTURE AND COMPLEMENT (CONTD.l and those with no direct relationship, to ensure that a fresh look would be taken at where particular functions should be delivered and whether it could be delivered in a different way. These Task Forces were struck in September of 1993 and were asked to report by January of 1994. The five areas that staff agreed needed to be reviewed were: Retail Sales: What is the potential of increasing revenue through a new approach to merchandising and sales? Planning and development: What would the components of an integrated planning and development group be and how should they be organized? Maintenance of Property & Structures: How can the Authority most effectively deliver on its various maintenance and caretaking responsibilities? Conservation Services/Nursery: How should the various components of Conservation ServicelNursery be organized for maximum effectiveness? Enforcement: How can the Authority most effectively deliver on its Enforcement, Safety and Security responsibilities? Based on the work of the Task Forces the following recommendations were adopted. 111 RETAIL SALES TASK FORCE It was agreed that a staff Retail Sales Council be formed. The Council is a retail sales think-tank reporting directly to the CAO. The Council is charged with expanding, improving and simplifying our corporate retail sales operations. 121 PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT TASK FORCE It was agreed that the Planning & Development unit lformerly within the Field Operations Division) be integrated with the Waterfront Planning group lformerly within the Water Resource Division), to function within the new Watershed Management Division. It was agreed that archaeology is primarily an education function which, when required, will provide technical expertise to our various planning functions and will remain within the former Field Operations Division. 131 MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY AND STRUCTURES TASK FORCE It was recommended that a restructured Central Maintenance group be set up with a "zone-based" delivery system. This review is still under way, B401 DECEMBER 2, 1994, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/94 SECTION \I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 8. STAFF STRUCTURE AND COMPLEMENT (CONTD.l (4) NURSERY/CONSERVATION SERVICES TASK FORCE Responsibility for Authority land maintenance should be given to the Conservation Areas Section in the former Field Operations Division. This responsibility includes hazardous trees, firewood maintenance, fencing and signage. 151 ENFORCEMENT TASK FORCE No changes were recommended. Apart from the setting up of the Task Forces to look at the particular areas identified, agreement was reached on several matters related to the location of certain responsibilities based on ensuring better delivery and making it clear as to where responsibility and accountability rested, Many of these decisions related to relatively small components of the Authority's work however some of the key decisions made were: 11 I Based on a previous Authority resolution that the position of Director, Program Services Division be deleted from the complement, the overall staff organizational structure would be built around three divisions rather than the previous four, The three divisions will be identified as the Finance and Administration Division, Facilities and Operations Division and the Watershed Management Division. 121 The former Community Relations Section contained within the former Program Services Division would be retitled Communications and relocated to the CA's office, 131 Through the review of the Strategic Plan it was recognized that we needed better project management skills and tools. This has become particularly important as funding and staff resources have been reduced while the demand for our services and the delivery of capital projects has increased. Originally a separate "Project Management Office" lessentially one personl was proposed to lead this important initiative; however, due to budget constraints and a sense that with appropriate staff training and leadership, this separate position would not be required. In order to give the appropriate profile and corporate commitment however, to the training and protocols associated with good project management, this important discipline has been centred within the CA's office with support from the Director of the Finance and Administration Division. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE Based on the work of the senior management team, the various staff task forces and a great deal of discussion with all staff, an organizational structure has been established that we feel will achieve what we set out to do, which was to create a structure which would help meet our goal of operationalizing our business as watershed managers. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/94, DECEMBER 2, 1994 8402 SECTION \I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 8. STAFF STRUCTURE AND COMPLEMENT (CONTD.l There were two components to the development of an organizational structure which would facilitate our delivery of watershed management programs and projects, The first was a review of those activities or functions which when combined, would best achieve our corporate objectives while at the same time achieving certain efficiencies. The work of the Task Forces for example formed part of the input to this part of the exercise, The second part of the review, was a look at the staff resources under what was called a Human Resource Audit. This part of the exercise also proved to be very valuable in dealing with the funding cuts over the past two years. The purpose of the Human Resource Audit was to review our current full-time and contract staffing resources to determine; al what skill sets do we have; bl what skill sets do we require to actualize our strategic plan; and cl how do we manage the transition for al to bl. The process used to develop the Human Resource Audit, involved the Personnel Officer meeting with all Program Managers to take a hard and honest look at each full-time and contract position. The result of these two important exercises is a staff organization which is reflected on the following organization charts and an agreement on the new full time staff complement and its distribution which is detailed in the following summary chart.

INTERIM WASTE AUTHORITY HEARINGS (CONTD.l -Legal Representation BACKGROUND At Executive Committee Meeting #8/94, held October 14, 1994, staff presented a report and recommendations respecting representation at the Interim Waste Authority Hearings in Durham, MetrolYork and Peel. In this connection, the following resolution was adopted: "THA T the Executive Committee endorse the staff request for party status at the Consolidated Hearings to be held for the three landfills proposed by the Interim Waste Authority; AND FURTHER THA T Gardiner, Roberts be requested to represent the Authority's interests at the Hearings, " The Executive Committee accepted the staff opinion that there would not be any conflict between the interests of the Authority and those of other clients Gardiner, Roberts are representing at the hearings. Gardiner, Roberts is representing the City of Brampton at the Peel hearing and the Township of King at the York hearing. It was the opinion of staff following discussions with Gardiner Roberts that the position being taken on behalf of these municipalities does not conflict with the interests of the Authority. Given that Gardiner, Roberts is representing Brampton and King and that Gardiner, Roberts is very familiar with the work of the Authority, staff also believe this would allow the Authority to be represented at the three separate Hearings at a reasonable cost. At the Preliminary Hearing in Peel, representatives from the Town of Caledon expressed concern that the Authority is being represented by the same firm representing Brampton, The Hearings on the Interim Waste Authority preferred sites will not occur until 1995, although the Intervenor Funding Hearing is, currently, scheduled for early in the year. Staff would like an opportunity to present the Authority's rationale to the Town and will report back to the Executive Committee when these discussions have taken place. 11.

DON VALLEY BRICKWORKS DETAILED SITE PLANNING KEY ISSUE Retention of a consulting team to undertake further studies, prepare the detailed site and building plan, prepare construction drawings and provide site supervision for the regeneration of the Don Valley Brickworks based on the 1993 concept plan and the outcome of studies undertaken in 1994. Res. #E206/94 Moved by: Lois Griffin Seconded by: Richard O'Brien THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the consulting team led by Oleson Worland Architects be retained to complete the analysis, detailed design, contract drawings and construction supervision for the Don Valley Brickworks Regeneration at a total estimated fee of $519,500 plus GST to be awarded in phases subject to successful completion of each phase t~\ the satisfaction of the Authority, with the first phase having an upset fee of approximately $135,000 plus GST; AND FURTHER THAT the Authority express its thanks to the consulting teams led by Baird Sampson Architects, Hotson Bakker Architects and Sears & Russell Architects for their efforts in preparing and presenting their proposals. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Don Valley Brickworks site was purchased by the Authority in 1987. The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto subsequently 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. The buildings have been closed and secured pending implementation of recommendations from various site master plans. In 1993, a revised project was developed for regeneration of the site. The new plan addresses the important geological, environmental and cultural heritage resources located there while working within revised 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 Authority Meeting #9/93, held October 22, 1993, Res. #A 186/93 was adopted in part: n THA T the Don Valley Brickworks Regeneration Project/jobsOntario Capital Application involving total estimated expenditures of $5,000,000 be adopted replacing the Don Valley Brickworks Regeneration Project (February, 1992) adopted by Resolution #65/92; JANUARY 13, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/94 B415 SECTION I -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 1. DON VALLEY BRICKWORKS DETAILED SITE PLANNING (CONTD.l THA T the Province of Ontario be requested to approve the project including the provision of grants in the amount of $2,250,000 towards the cost of the project over a four year period, such allocations to be in addition to the funding of other approved Authority projects; THA T staff be directed to continue to pursue jobsOntario capital funding for this project; AND FURTHER THA T upon receipt of the project by the Province of Ontario, that The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto be requested to approve the project and a levy of $2,225,000." In March of 1994, the Province of Ontario announced that it would fund the provincial share of the project through jobsOntario. Subsequently, The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto approved their share of the project. The Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto is actively soliciting donations to raise the remaining $500,000. To date it has raised approximately $167,000. During 1994, a number of studies were conducted to provide the necessary background information to refine the scope of the regeneration work and to initiate the restoration of the existing chimney on site. These studies were Phase I Environmental Audit; Heritage Documentation and Analysis; Chimney Restoration; Brick Making Process; and, Artifact Recording. GOALS OF DETAILED SITE PLANNING The consulting team retained through this contract will carry out the additional site investigations, detailed site planning, development of contract drawings and supervision of construction necessary to: ( 11 protect, enhance and rehabilitate this provincially significant natural and cultural heritage site located in a strategic section of the Don River valley; (2) open for public use, education and enjoyment the 16.5 hectare former brickworks site; (3) provide opportunities for public participation in site regeneration both now and in the future; and 141 provide a framework for future development, enhancement, and rehabilitation of the site which may be beyond the budgetary scope of this initial project. The work will specifically accomplish: (a) the ecological regeneration of the worked out brickyard Quarry; lbl protection and appropriate access for viewing and scientific investigation of the internationally renowned North Slope and its geological record of climatic change; lc) site cleanup including removal of structures, refuse and deleterious substances as necessary; B416 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/94, JANUARY 13, 1995 SECTION I -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 1.

The extensive nature of the assignment has required consulting teams to be formed that include a broad range of disciplines. The consultant team chosen will be involved over the next two to three years taking the project to its official opening. SELECTION OF CONSULTING TEAMS In early October, draft terms of reference were developed for the detailed site planning of this site. They were reviewed by the 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, Culture, Tourism and Recreation; Friends of the Valley; The Ontario Historical Society; Metro Parks and Property Department; and, Authority staff. Terms of reference were provided to over 60 firms in the initial screening round. Seventeen teams responded with letters of interest. The Brickworks Technical Steering Committee reviewed the letters of interest considering the: la) relevant experience specific to architectural heritage interpretation and restoration, landscape architecture, ecological restoration, engineering lstructural, geological, water Quality), and cultural resource management; JANUARY 13, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/94 B417 SECTION I -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 1. DON VALLEY BRICKWORKS DETAILED SITE PLANNING (CONTD.l lb) project management expertise and experience; and lc) understanding of the components of the terms of reference. Four consulting firms were chosen to provide full proposals for the four phases of the project being: Phase 1 additional site investigations and design options for buildings, site development access and interpretation Phase 2 design development, phasing plan and approvals Phase 3 construction documents, tender and contract award for Stage 1 implementation Phase 4 supervision construction and commissioning for Stage 1 implementation In addition, the teams were asked to provide a cost for conducting Part 2 of the Environmental Audit. The proposal costs, including Part 2 of the Environmental Audit are: Oleson Worland Architects $519,500 Sears & Russell Architects Limited $641,327 BairdlSampson Architects $520,000 Hotson Baker Architects $529,898 These costs are exclusive of GST. RATIONALE The Brickworks Technical Steeri~g Committee reviewed presentations by four teams of consultants on January 5, 1995. The Steering Committee evaluated the proposals and the presentations on the basis of approach, team experience, availability and commitment of senior personnel to the project, presentation and project management skills. It was the unanimous recommendation of the Steering Committee that the team headed by Oleson Worland Architects be retained. The complete team is as follows: Core Team Oleson Worland Architects Philip Goldsmith and Company The Landplan Collaborative Ltd.

The Steering Committee was impressed by the Oleson Worland team for several reasons: la) overall Quality of the presentation; lbl good balance between acceptance of the work done to date and the need to elaborate and refine the concept; lc) Quality of design exhibited in other projects; ld) recognition of the implementation thrust at this stage of the project; Ie) strong technical expertise in all areas; and If) idea of an external advisory team of leading practitioners. FINANCIAL DETAILS The costs involved are in excess of $100,000 and therefore require Authority approval. The original proposal allocated approximately 10% of the $5 million project cost to consulting fees and services to complete the design, construction drawings and site supervision work necessary, The proposals appear, from an initial review, to approximate this estimate. Funds for this are available through the financing approved by jobsOntario and The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. JANUARY 13. 1995.

Res. #E207/94 Moved by: Lorna Jackson Seconded by: Lois Griffin THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the additional costs to complete the engineering designs by F, J. Reinders and Associates Limited for the Toronto Islands Erosion Control Project be approved up to a total additional cost of $60,000 plus GST. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #3/94, held on April 22, 1994, Res. #A 76/94 was adopted: "That the firm of F. J. Reinders and Associates limited be retained to complete the final designs for the Toronto Islands Erosion Control Project at a total cost of $123,799 (including GSTJ. RA TIONALE Our consultants for this project, F. J. Reinders and Associates have provided a letter outlining the additional costs associated with the project. These include: la) attendance at various additional public and community meetings, the Technical Steering Committee and Works Liaison Committee, as well as meetings with stakeholder groups. These meetings generally required the consultants to prepare presentation material, minutes and follow up correspondence. lb) delayed concept design development. This delay resulted from not receiving timely direction to finalize designs for each of the projects. The numerous additional meetings and development of revised concepts extended this process. lc) revisions to designs Ii) several revisions and new designs were required, all as directed by the various committees, to look at the most cost effective solution for each of the shoreline projects; and (ii) engineering services required to assist in contract administration for the remaining projects that carryover into 1995. Currently there are three projects under construction and two additional projects to be completed in 1995. The original scope of work called for a major portion of all work to be completed by the end of 1994.

CARRIED BACKGROUND The current Authority policy dealing with disposal of surplus Authority lands was established on February 22, 1991, by the adoption of Resolution #26 lAppendix A, page B425l. The current policy has evolved over a number of years. It was updated most recently in 1990 and 1991. Copies of staff reports dated February 28, 1990 and January 30, 1991, follow as Appendix B pages B426-B429 Components of the criteria considered in establishing the current policy include: la) Requirement of the Authority to become more public with respect to land disposal; lb) Requirement to comply with the provisions of Section 21 lCl of The Conservation Authorities Act and to adhere to the policies contained in the Policy and Procedures Manual for Conservation Authorities, prepared by the Ministry of Natural Resources; lcl Requirement of the Authority in a number of instances when acquiring lands for conservation purposes, to acquire the entire holding when only a portion is necessary for Authority purposes; ldl Requirement to obtain market value; Ie) Provide flexibility to deal with potential significant revenue sources through a public process in a manner so as to achieve the highest reasonable return possible; If) Utilizing established disposal processes including public tender, listings with real estate firms on multiple listing services, real estate firms on a broker protected basis, direct marketing, negotiations, etc.; JANUARY 13, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/94 B423 SECTION I -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 4. POLICIES FOR SURPLUS AUTHORITY LAND SALES lCONTD.l 19) Utilizing the market value concept being the amount of money a willing buyer will pay a willing seller in the open market. While a property may be zoned for residential use, it may have potential to be used for a higher order of use. The market value concept provides an opportunity for a property's value to reflect a speculative price based on the property's potential, while still taking into consideration any Authority constraints; (h) In instances where non-viable or land locked parcels are involved, market value may be limited. Summary of methods of disposal utilized during recent Authority land sales: (1) The most recent instances where real estate commissions were payable on the successful conclusion of Authority land sales were as follows: lal former Grimbly property situate in the City of Scarborough completed in June, 1990. In this instance, a commission of 4% was paid on closing and the Authority obtained a price based on 91 % of the original Authority listing price; lb) former White property situate in the City of Scarborough. In this instance, a commission of 3% was paid on closing and the Authority obtained a price based on 88% of the original Authority listing price. 121 In the two most recent instances where properties were listed for sale with real estate firms, substantial Authority staff time was expended and unsuccessful results were obtained: la) a portion of the former Osler property in the Town of Pickering was listed for sale during 1992, at a commission rate of 6%. In response to requests from the listing agent, the Authority asking price was reduced but the property was still not sold. Authority staff, through public tender and negotiations, subsequently arranged completion of a successful sale with no commission payable. lb) the former Kadikar property in the City of Scarborough was listed for sale at a commission rate of 6% during 1990, 1991 and 1992. In response to requests from listing agents, the Authority asking price was reduced on a number of occasions. This property has not yet been sold and has been rented for residential purposes. (3) All properties sold by the Authority during 1993 and 1994, including those presently in the process of closing lwith the exception of the Brampton salel were successfully dealt with by Authority staff through the negotiation- process with no commissions payable; 141 In the instance of the current sale in the City of Brampton, 100% of the Authority asking price on a most optimistic market value land use has been obtained and staff respectfully submit that the sale arrangement is very favourable to the Authority. B424 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11'94, JANUARY 13, 1995 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 4. POLICIES FOR SURPLUS AUTHORITY LAND SALES (CONTD.l In carrying out the updates to the Authority policies in 1990 and 1991, extensive discussions were held out with other public and private real estate experts, including staff of The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. The policies in this regard, established by the Council of The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto in 1978 and as amended in 1988, were reviewed, Again, in this instance, while the time available has been constrained due to the holiday period, a number of discussions have been held with public and private real estate experts including staff of The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. During the current discussions, it has again become apparent that there is a need to maintain a flexible policy which allows for accommodating the need to have a public process while allowing the maximum public return is essential. When the staff report concerning the original offer was presented in November 1994, staff, in addition to dealing with a number of real estate people, were also dealing with a number of corporations and private individuals. While the intent of staff in having the members of the Authority reject the offer at hand was to send a message to the market place that a low offer would not be accepted Authority staff did not provide to the members of the Authority all aspects under negotiation with respect to the offer at hand or other discussion in progress at the time with other parties. At the time of preparation of the original report, staff did not anticipate that the offer at hand would increase so dramatically in such a short time period or that the individuals involved at that time would be involved in the ultimate sale. Staff acknowledge a need for a refinement to the existing policy in an attempt to continue to allow the maximum flexibility to obtain the best price, while preventing a re-occurrence of the confusion regarding the commission payable in the recent sale of land in the City of Brampton, which was dealt with during December, 1994. In order to continue to allow Authority staff the maximum degree of flexibility in attempting to obtain the best price available in the sale of land, it is recommended that the following additional item, which is included in the recommendation in this report, be added to the existing policy: "(4) at such time as a final recommendation is made with respect to disposal, staff provide to the members of the Authority, details as to a suggested method for disposition;" JANUARY 13, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE # 11/94 B425 APPENDIX A A-13 AUTHORITY MEETING #1/91.

Res. #E21 2/94 Moved by: Paul Palleschi Seconded by: Lorna Jackson THAT the request by Wild Water Kingdom for deferral of the final 1994 lease payment, at an interest rate of prime plus 1 % and to be repaid no later than July 1, 1995, 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 JANUARY 13, 1995. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/94 B431 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 6. WILD WATER KINGDOM lCONTD,) -Request for Deferral of Final 1994 Lease Payment 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 three 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. ANAL YSIS In 1994, as indicated in the attached letter from Dr. Edward Siu Chong lpage B432), President of Wild Water Kingdom, Wild Water Kingdom ended the annual operating season with a negative cashflow of $90,000. Staff of the Authority had agreed in September to await the final audited financial statements of Wild Water Kingdom so as to properly close out the final lease payments. As the letter indicates, the audited financial statements should be available shortly. However, based on preliminary estimates, approximately $85,000 to $90,000 is owing to the Authority. At the time that Authority staff agreed to await the statements, Dr. Chong agreed that from September 30th on, the interest rate of prime plus 1 % would apply to the outstanding balance. Wild Water Kingdom has indicated that it is currently attempting to re-negotiate its financial arrangements. As indicated in the letter, Wild Water Kingdom is hopeful that the Manulife Bank will take over the financing of the Water Park from the Canadian Western Bank. Members of the Executive Committee will recall the discussion and agreement with Wild Water Kingdom in the spring of 1994 to reductions to the rent until 1997 to enable the Water Park to pursue this re- financing arrangement. 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 andlor the Royal Bank make good on the outstanding rental payment or risk having the park taken over by the Authority. Given that the dollar amount is less than $100,000, 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. B432 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/94, JANUARY 13. 1995 MId WAter oK I N G D 0 M.. December 13, 1994 Sent by Facsimile (416-661-6898) OriQinal by Mail Mr. Jim Dillaine Metropolitan Toronto Region & Conservation Authority 5 Shoreham Drive Downsview, Ontario M3N 1 S4 Dear Jim, Further to your recent discussions with John Ransom and myself, we confirm that we are currently negotiating the re-financing of Wild Water Kingdom's existing loans. Audited financial statements for the year end Oct. 31, 1994 are presently being prepared by our auditors and we anticipate that these will be finalized shortly, These statements are, of course, an integral part of our re-financing requirements. Once these statements are completed and we get the amendment to our lease signed by the Canadian Westem Bank, we expect that we will be able to complete the re-financing with the Manulife Bank promptly, As you are aware, the past season was not the success we had hoped for. Attendance dropped by over 36,000 Guests versus the 1993 Season, which resulted in a reduction of revenues by 3/4 of a million dollars. Our resulting net income before depreciation was $210,000 which after . capital Improvements and principal payments of $300,000, resulted in a negative cash flow of $90,000. At this time, we respectfully request that we be permitted to defer payment of our August 1994 percentage rent until we receive the proceeds of our re-financing. At such time, we would make this payment together with interest to the MTRCA immediately, While we are confident that the re-finanacing will be completed within a reRsonable time period if fnr snme re~S0n '."~ ar<;.> unsuccessful, we propose that we would make the August payment with interest at the rate of prime + 1%, as in the past, no later than JUly 1, 1995, Thank you for your ongoing support in this project.

Staff is seeking support to appear as a delegation before the Transportation and Environmental Services Committee of York Regional Council opposing the application. Res. #E214/94 Moved by: Lois Griffin Seconded by: Brian Harrison THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT staff appear as a delegation before the Transportation and Environmental Services Committee of Regional Council on January 17, 1995, objecting to the Minor Exemption to By-law No. TR-1-91-154; AND FURTHER THAT staff report back to the Executive Committee providing a status update on the Transportation and Environmental Services Committee decision. CARRIED B434 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/94, JANUARY 13, 1995 SECTION \I -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 8, MAPLE DOWNS GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB (CONTD.l -Part of Lots 28 & 29, Concession 2 WYS, City of Vaughan BACKGROUND An exemption to the Regional Municipality of York's Tree By-Law No. TR-1-91-154 to allow for the removal of 5,30 hectares of trees within a forested area has been circulated to Authority staff for comment by the Office of the Regional Clerk. The Tree By-law is intended to protect trees in the Region by regulating the destruction of trees in woodlots larger than half an acre and placing special restrictions on the destruction of trees in sensitive natural areas. These areas include wetlands, environmentally significant areas and lands next to streams and lakes. The applicant proposes to develop a 15.5 hectare parcel of land for five additional golf holes as part of a larger expansion of the golf course. The minor exemption Application applies to a parcel of forested land located in the northeast corner of lands owned by the Maple Downs Golf and Country Club. The subject lands are bounded to the north by the Trans Canada Pipeline easement, to the east by the Woodland Acres estate residential subdivision and to the south and west by the existing Maple Downs Golf Course. The proposed expansion does not require any planning approvals. Local zoning permits golf course use on the subject lands. In addition, site plan approval is not required as the construction of the golf course expansion is not development as defined by the Planning Act. A tributary of the East Don River traverses the north east part of the site. This watercourse has a drainage area of less than 125 hectares and is not fill regulated. The proposed works do not require any permits pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158. The entire property is located within the Oak Ridges Moraine and the headwaters of the East Don River. This Minor Exemption application is of particular concern due to the proposed encroachment within the Environmentally Significant Area for one hole and parts of two others. The intrusion of these holes within the ESA will result in the loss of 2.7 hectares of high Quality deciduous woodlands. More than half of the woodlot scheduled to be lost will be in the ESA. The resultant loss will fragment forest habitats and potentially have a negative impact on the recharge function of the area. The recharge area is characterized by coarse, sandy soils and steep slopes that could be highly erodible if forest cover is lost. Staff at the Regional Municipality of York and the Ministry of Natural Resources have identified other concerns with this Minor Exemption Application. The recently approved Official Plan for York Region identifies this woodlot as part of the Regional Greenlands System. This woodlot is considered regionally significant by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, as an Area of Natural and Scientific Interest lANSI). In this regard, representatives from these agencies and this Authority have met with the proponent in an attempt to look at design modifications to shift the one hole and parts of two others outside of the ESA limit. The applicant does not consider this option viable due to the landholding constraints. JANUARY 13, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/94 B435 SECTION" - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 9. FLEET VEHICLE COLOUR KEY ISSUE Staff report on changing of the colour of Authority fleet vehicles. Res. #E215/94 Moved by: Richard O'Brien Seconded by: Paul Palleschi THAT the base colour for Authority fleet vehicles be changed from the present buff colour to white; THAT 1995 tenders for replacement vehicles specify white as the base colour; THAT the balance of the vehicle fleet be changed to white at time of replacement. CARRIED BACKGROUND The suggestion of a change of vehicle colour has been discussed at the staff Equipment Committee over the past two years. Even though the Authority specifies buff when ordering vehicles, the colour is not always consistent. Some dealers have indicated they have not tendered in the past because they could not match our colour with factory paint and the added cost of local painting made their bid uncompetitive. RATIONALE White is a colour available to all manufacturers and thus allows a greater opportunity for more dealers to bid and to ensure con~istency of colour. Discussion with some dealers lconfirmed by some municipalitiesl has indicated that some manufacturers have increased their minimum order for fleet vehicles to five lof same body style and model) for special order painting. We do not generally meet this minimum unit order requirement. The dealers have indicated that they will be required to paint the vehicles locally to match our colour. This will add approximately $750 per vehicle to the tender price. Logos and decals can be commercially produced to match each vehicle at a cost of approximately $250 to $300 to provide a distinctive corporate identity for Authority vehicles. A number of municipalities and law enforcement agencies have switched to base white vehicles with appropriate coloured decals and logos. Public feedback has been positive indicating that white vehicles present a more business-like and professional appearance. Major manufacturers can provide white and have thus avoided problems in colour consistency which occurred with special ordered, lead based paints. Decals and logos are reflective and have provided a greater degree of safety. B436 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/94, JANUARY 13, 1995 SECTION \I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 9. FLEET VEHICLE COLOUR lCONTD.l Distinctive colour stripping and logos provide a recognizable corporate image at a minimal cost per vehicle. Stripping is readily available, easy to replace and less costly than matching special order paint in the event of vehicle damage. Resale value at time of disposal is better, as white is more acceptable than the Authority's buff colour from a retail purchase point of view. White as a base colour will allow the Authority to consider joint purchases in conjunction with municipal fleet purchases; e.g., Vaughan, Brampton, Region of Peel. 10.

An environmental audit carried out by Golder Associates Limited has shown that the parcel on the east side of the river has been filled with approximately 2 metres of fill including municipal ash. Soil sample analysis indicate that some contaminates (heavy metals) are found in the municipal ash fill. However, the contaminates are randomly distributed and there is no evidence that they are migrating (leaching) into the underlying natural soil or watercourse and therefore, no remediation is required.

CARRIED BACKGROUND Resolution #A97/93, Authority Meeting #4/93, May 28, 1993 approving the project. Negotiations have been conducted with the owner and his solicitor John J. Andriano of Andriano and De Matteir, Barristers and Solicitors. In 1987, the previous owner of this property obtained a severance to divide the subject property into two parcels. The severance application was reviewed by Authority staff and they recommend approval of the application subject to the land beiow top of bank being set aside for acquisition by the Authority and the site and grading plans be approved by the MTRCA prior to the issuance of a building permit by the City. Only the Authority condition relating to site and grading plans was included in the severance approval. In 1989, the Authority received site and grading plans for two buildings on these lots, however filling was not proposed and therefore a permit was not required.

INTERIM GREENSPACE PROTECTION AND ACQUISITION PROJECT 1993 - 1995 FLOOD PLAIN AND CONSERVATION COMPONENT (CONTD.1 -811740 Ontario Limited and 912488 Ontario Ltd. -Humber River Watershed top of bank was at the back corner of one of the buildings, which was four feet from the Authority property line, there was a note for the owner to meet with Authority and Metro Parks and Property staff prior to commencing landscaping. A permit application was received by the Authority in 1 991 to fill in the area between the proposed house and Authority owned land. Staff requested additional information relating to this request which was not received. It would appear the previous owner proceeded with the construction of the foundations for the two houses then sold the two properties in June, 1994, to the present owners. While the properties are owned by two numbered companies, the principles of these companies are the same. The present owners proceeded to fill in the area adjacent to the house and onto Authority land. A violation was issued against the owners in July of 1994. At a site meeting shortly after issuance of the violation, the City of North York building officials advised that they would require the owners to maintain at least four feet of the filled table land adjacent to the house for frost protection for the foundation. There were two proposed solutions to this matter. The first was to construct a retaining wall on the property line. The second was to allow the fill to remain with the proper geotechnical information indicating the slope was stable and that it was properly landscaped. Staff's experience with retaining walls is that they eventually fail resulting in future problems. The proposed resolution to the existing violation is that the owner stabilize the slope, landscape the area to the satisfaction of the Authority and Metro Parks and Property, convey the rear portion of the two properties to the Authority and construct a fence at their expense on the mutual property boundary. Authority Plan Review and Enforcement staff and staff of Metro Parks and Property are in concurrence with the resolution of this matter. The Director of the Watershed Management Division has reviewed this proposal and is in concurrence with the purchase of the property.

KEY ISSUE Status report on completion of purchase of the subject property. Res. #E231/94 Moved by: Jim Witty Seconded by: Lois Griffin THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 3.9 acres, more or less, be purchased from Giuliana, Luigi and Concetta DiNardo, said land being an irregular shaped parcel of land being Part of Lot 32, Concession 1, Town of Pickering, Regional Municipality of Durham, being a partial taking from a larger property fronting on the east side of Altona Road, south of Finch Avenue East.

CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #10/94, held November 25, 1994, members adopted Res. #A241 194 as follows. - "THA T 4.8 acres, more or less, be purchased from Giuliana, Luigi and Concetta DiNardo, said land being an irregular shaped parcel of land being Part of Lot 32, Concession 1, Town of Pickering, Regional Municipality of Durham, being a partial taking from a larger property fronting on the east side of Altona Road, south of Finch A venue East.

PROJECT FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE ALTONA FOREST ENVIRONMENTALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA (CONTD.1 -Giuliana, Luigi and Concetta DiNardo Property THA T the purchase price be the sum of $800,000, plus costs including legal and other consultants, not to exceed $18,000. THA T the Authority receive conveyance of the land required free from encumbrance, subject to existing service easements; THA T completion of the transaction be subject to the funds being available; THA T Gardiner, Roberts, Barristers and Solicitors, be instructed to complete the transaction at the earliest possible date. All reasonable expenses incurred incidental to the closing for land transfer tax, legal costs and disbursements are to be paid; AND FURTHER THA T the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to execute all necessary documentation required and obtain any additional approvals required. " During late November, the owners and their solicitor, William F. Walker, contacted representatives of the Authority in an effort to renegotiate the agreement as earlier arranged. While the purchase as approved meets the Authority's objectives with respect to additional land being acquired within this project, difficulty is being encountered in securing the additional funding to meet our full objectives in this instance. A reduction of the purchase price in an amount satisfactory to the Authority, could be advantageous in this instance. Resolution of the acquisition of this property will avoid the requirement for staff of the Authority to appear further before the Ontario Municipal Board, concerning this matter. Completion of the acquisition of this property is also a condition of the donation by Dr.J.Murray Speirs for the acquisition of his property, which is the subject of a separate report for consideration at this meeting. While the staff of the Ministry of Natural Resources has not yet approved of the reduced area to be acquired, the technical staff of the Authority believe that this area is less critical to the integrity of the Altona Forest block, than the Speirs property. In rationalizing acceptance of the reduced area to be acquired, staff acknowledge the funding constraints and the need to acquire these lands, in order to get the Speirs property. Since the integrity of the Environmentally Significant Area depends on the interiors, it is essential that we do not lose the opportunity to acquire the Speirs property. The areas proposed for deletion from the project are along the forest edge and while they contribute, they are less vital than the Speirs lands. A plan illustrating this specific location and amended boundary is attached as page B466. FEBRUARY 10, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/94 B465 ----.- .-- SECTION I -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 6. PROJECT FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE ALTONA FOREST ENVIRONMENTALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA (CONTD.1 -Giuliana, Luigi and Concetta DiNardo Property RATIONALE The land being acquired is situate within the approved acquisition boundary of the Project for the Acquisition of the Altona Forest Environmentally Significant Area. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding for this acquisition will be charged to the project for the Altona Forest. Approximately $350,000 remains from the amount of $400,000 earlier approved by the Town of Pickering. The Federal Government has indicated that an amount of $300,000 will be made available. A private donation of $33,333 has recently been obtained by Charles Sauriol.

PROJECT FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE ALTONA FOREST ENVIRONMENTALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA (CONTD.1 -Dr. J. Murray Speirs Property THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to execute all necessary documentation required and obtain any additional approvals required; CARRIED BACKGROUND Resolution #A80/93, #A81/93, #A83/83, #84/93, Authority Meeting #3/93, April 23, 1993, approving the project. Negotiations with respect to this acquisition have been conducted with Dr. J. Murray Speirs and his solicitor Mr. L.A. Bullock of the firm, Bordon and Elliott. In addition to Authority staff and the Authority solicitor, Charles Sauriol and officials of the Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto have assisted the Authority in the extensive negotiations required to attempt to bring this matter to a successful conclusion. Dr. J. Murray Speirs is one of Ontario's foremost Field Ornithologists. Dr. Speirs, along with his late wife, used his property and the adjoining forest as a centre for investigative studies since 1946. Rosemary Speirs is the niece of Dr. J. Murray Speirs. It is proposed that a 100 foot grid be set up and maintained in the reserve, which has been marked in the field by Dr. Speirs. The reserve is to be used by naturalists, environmentalists, scientists, students and other interest groups for birdwatching, investigative studies on bird populations, forest understorey and other acceptable environmental research matters. It is respectfully suggested that the donation by the Speirs family, the interest, and many years of contributions in time, effort and other ways, and his vision of an ecological reserve, be recognized by naming the reserve in Dr. Speirs name. The successful completion of this transaction is subject to the Authority completing the purchase of its requirements for the DiNardo property and the approval by the Authority of the Altona Forest Environmental Management Plan, both of which are the subject of other reports, which are currently being dealt with by the Authority. The Director of the Watershed Management Division has reviewed this proposal and is in concurrence with the acquisition of this property on the basis as tentatively arranged. RATIONALE The land being acquired is situate within the appr"oved acquisition boundary of the Project for the Acquisition of the Altona Forest Environmentally Significant Area.

BACKGROUND To date, the Authority has purchased approximately 45 ha of environmentally significant land known as the Altona Forest property in the Town of Pickering. Negotiations are in progress to acquire a portion of the Speirs and Dinardo properties which would enlarge the Altona Forest to approximately 53 ha. It has been proposed by Dr. J. Murray Speirs, one of Ontario's foremost field ornithologists, that approximately 2.5 ha of his land be conveyed to the MTRCA to be included as part of the Altona Forest. A parcel of approximately 10 ha including the Speirs property, a portion of the Dinardo property and a portion of the existing Authority land would be designated an Ecological Reserve for bird observation purposes. Dr. Speirs' contribution and vision of the properties as an ecological reserve would be recognized by naming the 10 ha plot in his honour. The Altona Forest was designated by the MTRCA as an Environmentally Significant Area in 1982 and more recent inventories commissioned by the Town of Pickering (Michalski, 1990) have confirmed its significance. Six nationally rare plant species have been found and two provincially rare bird species nest in the forest. The diverse plant communities include over 300 species. Forest blocks of this size and configuration, which provide interior forest habitats in close proximity to Lake Ontario, are rare within the Greater Toronto Area. Altona Forest is a link in an interregional corridor between the Rouge and Duffins watersheds. The area surrounding the Altona Forest is being developed for residential use. As a result, the property will be subject to increased use. As a landowner, the Authority has a responsibility to ensure the property is in a reasonable condition that safeguards public safety. The Authority must also protect the property from negative impacts and maintain the natural qualities of the property that contribute to its environmental significance. The Altona Forest Environmental Management Plan has been prepared to guide future activities. Short term priorities have been identified to secure and protect the property. This includes fencing, signage, hazard tree removal and edge management. Long term management guidelines are also provided to direct future requirements. Input from the Ministry of Natural Resources, Town of Pickering, community groups and adjacent landowners have been incorporated into the Management Plan. FINANCIAL DETAilS Site securement activities are estimated to cost approximately $100,000. These funds would be obtained from the land acquisition project for the Altona Forest Environmentally Significant Area. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE (a) Finalize the Altona Forest Environmental Management Plan once the final project boundaries have been determined. (b) Complete the site securement activities. (c) Investigate opportunities for public education and participation in the long term management of the property. (d) Designate the 10 ha ecological reserve parcel in honour of Dr. J. Murray Speirs.

REQUEST FOR USE OF AUTHORITY-OWNED LANDS (CONTD.) -Adjacent to Gordon Mackay Road, City of North York -Black Creek Channel, Humber River Watershed (viii) The finished grade of the paved access road to remain at the same elevation as the existing grassed area and little, or no fill, is to be utilized; (ix) Provision of a safety barrier along the channel side of the access road with access provided for MTRCA and Metro yehicles, along with attendant landscaping satisfactory to the Authority; (xl Improye the hydraulics on the west side of Black Creek Channel, by removing fill to match the existing areas to the north and south, together with restoration satisfactory to the Authority, and the conveyance of the restored area to the Authority; (xii Any other terms and conditions deemed appropriate by the solicitors for the Authority or The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto; (xii) In addition to the terms and conditions set out above, Price/Costco Inc. is to pay an annual licence fee at an amount to be set by The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto together with any and all legal, survey, realty taxes and other costs resulting either directly or indirectly from this arrangement. THAT the licence of occupation be subject to approval of The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto; 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 the necessary approvals and the execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND Price/Costco Inc., in association' with Leon Holdings Limited, has an application before the Council of the City of North York for an amendment to the City's Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit the erection and operation of a membership warehouse club on Gordon Mackay Road. City Council has approved the application, subject to the performance of certain conditions which must be addressed, before the by-law is passed. A condition imposed at the request of the Metropolitan Toronto Transportation Department requires the widening of Jane Street to accommodate anticipated traffic generation. Associated with this widening are intersection improvements at the Jane Street and Gordon Mackay Road and the installation of a median extending south on Jane Street from the intersection to contain the storage of vehicles awaiting northbound left turns onto Gordon Mackay Road. Because this median will interfere with northbound left turns into existing properties on the west side of Jane Street, Price/Costco Inc. are required to obtain an alternative access to these sites from Gordon Mackay Road. FEBRUARY 10, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/94 B473 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 9. REQUEST FOR USE OF AUTHORITY-OWNED LANDS (CONTD.) -Adjacent to Gordon Mackay Road, City of North York -Black Creek Channel, Humber River Watershed The preferred alternative, is to provide access to the rear of the affected properties by utilizing a portion of land owned by the Authority at the east end of the Gordon Mackay Road bridge over Black Creek Channel (see attached drawing page B474). A curb cut and access for MTRCA and Metro Parks vehicles already exists at this point. RATIONALE This reach of the Black Creek Channel is constrained by the limit of Authority ownership, a maintenance access road, and a sanitary trunk sewer, and as a result, regeneration opportunities are very limited. The recommended licence of occupation provides for some regeneration, (plantings and removal of fill), permits Authority and Metro vehicles continued access to the area, and since the arrangement is temporary, protects the channel limits and Authority interests in the area.

DUFFINS CREEK WATERFRONT TRAIL PROJECT -Tender Opening KEY ISSUE Tenders have been called on the project for a trail and bridge along the waterfronts of Pickering and Ajax. Tenders were opened prior to the Executive Committee meeting and a report will be available at Authority Meeting #1/95, to be held February 24, 1995. Res. #E237/94 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Paul Palleschi THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the staff be directed to evaluate the tenders and the status of financing for the Duffins Creek Waterfront Trail Project and make a recommendation with respect to the awarding of the contract at Authority Meeting #1/95, February 24, 1995. CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1989, the MTRCA included the Duffins Creek river mouth as part of its concept of an inter- regional trail network for the Greater Toronto Area. In 1992, the Waterfront Regeneration Trust identified a concept of linked trails on public lands along the entire Lake Ontario waterfront. By 1993 the MTRCA, Waterfront Regeneration Trust and the Towns of Ajax and Pickering discussed the potential for connecting trails between the two municipalities. In 1994, alternative routes were assessed in consultation with naturalist representatives, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Waterfront Regeneration Trust, the Towns of Ajax and Pickering and MTRCA staff. A public meeting was held in April 1994 and there was consensus that a trail along the waterfront was acceptable. All background studies were completed by late summer and there was general agreement that a modified river mouth bridge and trail was the preferred route. In the fall of 1994, all the parties involved (Towns of Ajax and Pickering, Waterfront Regeneration Trust and Rotary clubs of Ajax and Pickering) approved the necessary funding (estimated at $600,000) to complete the project. A public meeting in December 1994 confirmed the recommended approach of a bridge and trail along the waterfront. At Authority meeting #7/94, Res. #A 186/94 was passed adopting the project and directing staff to retain consultants for the purpose of completing detailed engineering studies in preparation for trail construction. The firm of Johnson, Sustronk, Weinstein and Associates was hired to complete the detailed engineering and construction supervision, In January, 1995 tenders were invited from contractors who were pre-qualified by JSW and Associates. FINANCIAL DETAILS The partners in the project include the Town of Ajax ($140,000), the Town of Pickering ($65,000), the Rotary Clubs of Ajax and Pickering ($30,0001 and the Waterfront Regeneration Trust ($365,0001.

Res. #E238/94 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Paul Palleschi THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS HIAT the Vice Chair of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority be appointed as the voting delegate to the Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario and that the Chief Administratiye Officer be appointed as the alternate, effective from the Authority's Annual Meeting in 1995 to the Annual Meeting in 1996. CARRIED B478 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/94, FEBRUARY 10, 1995 SECTION I -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 12. THE ASSOCIATION OF CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES OF ONTARIO (CONTD.) -Authority Appointment to the Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario 1995 - 1996 BACKGROUND In the past, the Authority appointed an Authority member and an alternate to the Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario (ACAO). This member or alternate was this Authority's representative on the ACAO Board of Directors. The Authority also appointed the Chief Administrative Officer as the staff representative to the ACAO. Only the Authority member had the right to vote on ACAO business, although the staff representatives were present for the meetings and took part in any discussion. During 1994, the ACAO undertook a much needed strategic planning exercise to try and address some serious concerns that the membership had with respect to the ACAO's effectiveness and with its own internal governance. The result was a new strategic plan which not only set a new direction for the Association, but reconfigured its structure and constitution. The new structure will officially be in place as of its annual meeting at the end of March although it has been operating with the new model since December, 1994. There were two major changes to the ACAO structure and governance. The first was the elimination of the four Regional Chapters. The Chapters were not functioning well and were in fact very divisive. The new structure created five strategic committees, each dealing with a different aspect of the Associations' work. Recommendations then flow from these committees to the full Council where all members debate each issue and then take the appropriate action. The second significant change dealt with a long standing issue, that of the staff role on the old Board of Directors and now the new Council. In the past as indicated, only the Authority member had the right to vote on issues affecting the Association. The new model requires that each Authority appoint two representatives to the ACAO. It also recognizes that the issue of who should have the right to vote should be left up to the individual Authority. This then allows each Authority to appoint their representatives to the ACAO Council and to identify which representative is the "voting delegate" and which is the "alternate". The new Constitution also recognizes that the" alternate" will vote in those circumstances where the "voting delegate" cannot attend. Although the new structure is still very much in its infancy, it has great potential to be a better advocate for conservation authorities than it has been in the past and to achieve real gains in promoting the "conservation message" both locally and provincially. It is important that we have a strong Association in these times and it is important that the Association have the support of all of its members. In order to achieve this end, each Authority must take an active role in the work of the Association. It is recommended that The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority representatives to the ACAO be the Vice Chair as the voting delegate and that the Chief Administrative Officer be the alternate.

REVISED PROJECT FOR THE ETOBICOKE MOTEL STRIP WATERFRONT PARK (CONTD.) -Shore Breeze Motel Limited (Butwell) BACKGROUND Negotiations have been conducted with officials of Shore Breeze Motel Limited and their solicitor, Debra L. Stephens of Mills and Mills, Barristers and Solicitors. Officials of the City of Etobicoke have assisted Authority staff and the Authority's solicitors in arriving at an acceptable arrangement. Etobicoke Planning Department has indicated concurrence with the agreement as tentatively arranged. Due to poor economic conditions over the last four to five years, Shore Breeze Motel Limited has been unable to pay their realty taxes which are three years in arrears. Shore Breeze Motel Limited has negotiated this deal on the basis that it will close on or before March 31, 1995 and they will utilize a portion of the purchase price to be pay outstanding realty taxes. The Butwell family has owned this property for in excess of 1 00 years and they feel they have a good claim to title to all existing land to the current waters edge. If this transaction does not proceed, they have indicated they will join in the litigation to obtain title to the water lot similar to the litigation presently being pursued by the adjacent owner to the west. They also feel that the long delays in determining what was to be done with the Motel Strip, resulted in an inability to develop the property and a substantial loss of profit. They believe that this loss of profit is due, in part, directly to the uncertainty with respect to this area. As a result, they feel there have been few investors and no one has been willing to put any more money into this area, which has lead to its declined. The recent criminal activity and incidents in the Motel Strip area are, in their opinion, proof of this concern. The owners feel there may be a potential for litigation relating to this loss, which is somewhat similar to the action that is in the process of being launched by the owners to the east. This is the second acquisition from owners with existing motel operations. Situate on the owners property is one operating motel and a detached residential dwelling. The Director of the Water Resource Division is in agreement with this proposal and is in concurrence with the completion of this transaction on the basis as set out. 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.

KORTRIGHT CENTRE FOR CONSERVATION -Evaluation of the Environment Theme KEY ISSUE Selection of a consulting team to undertake an evaluation of the Environment Theme programs and transition, and the development of a three to five year plan. Res. #E243/94 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Jim Witty THAT the Planning and Consulting firm Hardy, Stevenson and Associates be retained to undertake an evaluation of the Environment Theme at the Kortright Centre; AND FURTHER THAT the cost of this contract be limited to the amount of $9,760 excluding the applicable taxes. CARRIED BACKGROUND From 1981 to early 1994, the Energy Theme program at the Kortright Centre was funded by the Ministry of Energy. However, in the past year the Ministry of Energy was amalgamated with the Ministry of Environment and Kortright's Energy theme was made into the Environment Theme to reflect this change. The effect of this change has been a shift toward a more environmental theme. The current mission statement of the environment theme is; "to build a sustaining environmentally healthy community through action oriented public education programs, based on the environmental issues of energy, water and waste." As part of the 1994/95 agreement, the Ministry of Environment and Energy recommended that a consultant be hired to evaluate: (1 ) the environment theme programs; (2) its transition from a energy to environment theme; and, (3) develop a three to five year plan. Within the budget, $10,000 was allocated for the hiring of a consultant. ANALYSIS Requests for proposals were solicited from nine consulting firms who had experience in program evaluation and strategic planning. Three firms responded within the time frame indicated; . Hardy Stevenson and Associates $9,760.00. . IER, Planning, Research and Management Service $9,152.50. -- - ---~ FEBRUARY 10, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/94 B489 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 17.

The proposals were evaluated on the basis of the firm's suitability and the competence of the project teams - qualifications and expertise, understanding of the project requirements and content, ability to accommodate time schedule, previous work related to the above tasks and fee. Staff recommend that Hardy Stevenson and Associates (HSA) be retained to undertake the work. The HSA team was chosen primarily because of the expertise of the staff involved in the project. This includes Bill Andrews, an expert in the field of environmental program development, implementation and evaluation as well as the principals of the company, Mark Stevenson and David Hardy. HSA is currently involved with additional projects with the MOEE and has experience working with the agency. In addition, their methodology for the project is practical and realistic. They can accommodate the time schedule, and meet the allocated budget of $10,000 (the GST is fully refunded). The lowest bid for the project was not chosen because of the staff members who were assigned to the project, none of whom had extensive experience as environmental educators. As well, the methodology chosen by IER included two focus groups which were not as appropriate for the project. FINANCIAL DETAilS Funds are available in account 311 01 348.
