PROVINCIAL BUDGET CUTS (CONTD.) ACAO SUBMISSION TO MINISTER OF NATURAL RESOURCES - "Restructuring Resource Management in Ontario - A Blueprint for Success" AMENDMENT Moved by: Joanna Kidd Res. #A88/93 Seconded by: Marie Muir THAT the Authority forward a letter to the Minister of Natural Resources indicating the Authority's support for the ACAO's "Restructuring Resource Management in Ontario - A Blueprint for Success "; THAT the letter clarify the focus on water based resource management, and the need to develop strong links between those agencies that develop policies and those implementing them; AND FURTHER THAT it is anticipated that cost savings will occur with no cost down - loading to municipalities. THE AMENDMENT WAS CARRIED THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS CARRIED BACKGROUND The impact of the budget cuts to Conservation Authorities across the Province is significant. The total operating grants given to all Conservation Authorities through the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) has been reduced by 20 %. At the time of writing this report there still has not been any official notification of this cut other than that which was outlined in the Treasurer of Ontario's, Expenditure Control Plan, dated April, 1993. There has also been no notification as to what share of this cut this Authority is expected to find. Discussions with the MNR and the ACAO, to date, suggest that a prorated 20% cut from each Authority would be a reasonable assumption at this time. Authority staff have made budget revisions on this basis. The Expenditure Control Plan also eliminated the Conservation Land Tax Rebate Program ( CLTRP). This too, is a very significant cut since the CLTRP provided a 100% rebate to Authorities on the property taxes paid to municipalities on those conservation and environmentally significant lands on which no revenue is generated. This program encouraged the acquisition of important lands in order that they could be protected for generations to come. The elimination of this program will result in a direct downloading to the municipalities unless the program can be reinstated or some other mechanism is found to deal with the property taxes. This Authority has supported the ACAO in its submission to the Minister that the elimination of the CLTRP is not acceptable and that it should be reinstated immediately. The Chair of this Authority has also written the Minister expressing our concern over the magnitude of the cuts and, in particular, our concern over the elimination of the CLTRP. Apart from the grant reductions announced by the Province to the Conservation Authority Program, Provincial grant reductions to our member municipalities will also have an impact on the Authority's budget. At this time, only Metropolitan Toronto has officially advised the Authority of the amount we must find to meet their anticipated reductions. A56 AUTHORITY MEETING #4/93, MAY 28, 1993 1. PROVINCIAL BUDGET CUTS (CONTD.) ACAO SUBMISSION TO MINISTER OF NATURAL RESOURCES - "Restructuring Resource Management in Ontario - A Blueprint for Success" Because the Authority is a partnership, budget cuts by any one of our partners has a levering affect since most of our programs are based on a matched funding formula. For example, every two dollar cut required by Metro results in a corresponding one dollar cut from Peel, York and Durham combined. As a result, the $421,000 reduction requested by Metro equates to a total municipal levy reduction of $651,000. The second part of the Province's two part constraint program is the Social Contract proposal. Although staff expect that the Social Contract will apply to the Authority, it is still too early to know how it will be applied and as the terms of the Social Contract are still under discussion, staff have not included it in the cost cutting measures at this time. As a result of the Provincial reductions and the preliminary indications from Metro, we are facing an approximate 10% cut in our overall operating budget. The details of the cuts are included in the following chart. To date, staff have worked very hard to identify how these cuts will be achieved. A brief verbal report was given by the Chief Administrative Officer to the Executive Committee at its last meeting and received authorization to proceed to implement the cuts which were presented. Staff indicated that a more detailed report would, hopefully, be available for the June 11, 1993, Executive meeting. This will depend on the availability of detailed information from all our partners and official notification from the Province. As indicated, it is unclear how the Social Contract discussions will proceed and what their outcome will be. Staff will monitor these discussions very carefully and will report on what actions, if any, are required at the appropriate time. The preliminary list of cuts presented to the Executive Committee are summarized below. These represent a 1.2 million dollar reduction and, for the most part, have been implemented already. Staff are continuing to work on the identification of the remaining cuts that must be made. • Part-time, seasonal, wage and benefit (summer help); • Equipment budget; • Office supplies; TOTAL MTRCA Provincial Operating 5 million (20 %) $700,000 Provincial Capital 2 million CLTRP 3.6 million (100 %) $800,000 (100 %) Municipal Cuts Metro, Peel, York, Durham $651,000 Social Contract 7 TOTAL $ 2,100,000 To date, staff have worked very hard to identify how these cuts will be achieved.

ACTIONS BY THE ACAO Although staff have been working to identify how the cuts will be achieved, staff have also been working with the ACAO to assist in making representations to the Minister of Natural Resources and to the Premier. The ACAO has met with the Minister and has asked him to consider some options to the announced cuts such as allowing the Authorities to prorate the cuts over the remaining six months in the year. The Minister also agreed that there may be some flexibility in how provincial capital dollars could be used to assist the Authorities in meeting this year's constraint. To date, there has been no response by the Minister to these proposals. "RESTRUCTURING RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN ONTARIO - A BLUEPRINT FOR SUCCESS" Although the budget cuts are a serious matter, perhaps of greater concern to the Authorities have been disturbing rumours and specific actions by the MNR which suggest a very real effort by senior bureaucrats within the Province to actually eliminate Conservation Authorities entirely. This kind of thinking is not new and has been suggested in previous reviews of Authorities. The last review, known as the Burgar Committee, made several recommendations including the amalgamation of several of the small Authorities to form more viable units. It is still recognized by many of the Authorities that amalgamation is necessary and the Minister has been advised that this is an issue which the Authorities are prepared to discuss. A58 AUTHORITY MEETING #4/93, MAY 28, 1993 1. PROVINCIAL BUDGET CUTS (CONTD.) ACAO SUBMISSION TO MINISTER OF NATURAL RESOURCES - "Restructuring Resource Management in Ontario = A Blueprint for Success" Although the Minister at his meeting with the ACAO indicated that, in his opinion, there were too many Authorities, he did not suggest that they should be eliminated completely. Actions by MNR senior staff would suggest however, that strategies have been developed or are in the process of being developed as part of strategic reviews being done within MNR, which would eliminate Conservation Authorities and almost 50 years of a very successful partnership. The issue most often raised to justify such a proposal, is that of duplication. This is also not a new issue and has been a concern of Authorities for some time. The "Blueprint for Success ", which was distributed for your information with your agenda, was in preparation before the recent budget cuts were announced and before the extent of the discussions regarding the future of Authorities was known outside a select few senior provincial bureaucrats. This paper was presented to the Minister by the ACAO at their meeting. The paper proposes how to eliminate the duplication and overlap that exists in the delivery of programs in resource management. The "Blueprint for Success" makes the following four recommendations which I believe are basic to the future of good ecosystem planning and management and to the protection of our natural resources. 1. Resource management must be planned and implemented on a watershed ecosystem basis. 2. The Province should focus its attention on the strategic planning aspects of resource management including: legislation, policy, research, and provincial scale planning. 3. The Province should combine the water management related mandates of MNR and MOEE into a single ministry. 4. Conservation Authorities are the best agencies to coordinate and implement integrated watershed based resource management. The relevant implementation functions of MNR, MOEE, and OMAF should be transferred to Conservation Authorities to create a single planning and delivery agency for resource management programs, and the Conservation Authorities system should be restructured to assume this role. A committee with representation from several Authorities, including this Authority, has been formed to provide more details to the Minister on the cost savings that would be realized through a "one window approach" to integrated, watershed based resource management by Conservation Authorities. The Minister has asked that this information be made available to him by early June. CONCLUSION It is clear from the budget realities facing Conservation Authorities today that we are going to look a lot different and that we must establish our priorities. It is also clear that if we are to improve and better manage our environment on an ecosystem basis, that the delivery of resource management programs must be done in a comprehensive and integrated way; it must be done on a watershed basis in partnership with many agencies and organizations and perhaps most importantly, it must be done at the community level. AUTHORITY MEETING #4/93, MAY 28, 1993 A59 1. PROVINCIAL BUDGET CUTS (CONTD.) ACAO SUBMISSION TO MINISTER OF NATURAL RESOURCES - "Restructuring Resource Management in Ontario - A Blueprint for Success" The most efficient and effective way to achieve this is through the Conservation Authorities. This has been recognized by David Crombie and more recently by John Sewell. It is very important that this Authority endorse the "Blueprint for Success ", and that we obtain the support of our member and local municipalities. We must also gain the support of the many interest groups which are concerned for the environment and about the effective and efficient delivery of service. 2.

ACAO SUBMISSION TO MINISTERS OF NATURAL RESOURCES, ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY, AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD AND MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS - Restructuring Resource Management in Ontario - "Documenting The Opportunity" KEY ISSUE The Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario (ACAO) submitted its "Restructuring Resource Management in Ontario - A Blueprint for Success" to the Minister of Natural Resources on May 5, 1993. The Blueprint introduced a number of ideas on how to remove the overlap and duplication in the existing natural resource management system. The Minister asked for elaboration on these concepts and "Documenting The Opportunity" is in response to the Minister's request. This report identifies specific program overlaps, associated costs and projected savings. Res. #A130/93 Moved by: Seconded by: Brian Harrison Frank McKechnie THAT the staff report on the Association of Conservation Authorities' submission to the Ministers of Natural Resources, Environment and Energy, Agricultural and Food and Municipal Affairs entitled Restructuring Resources Management in Ontario - "Documenting The Opportunity" be received; AND FURTHER THAT The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Regional Municipalities of Peel, York and Durham and their local municipalities, be provided with copies of Restructuring Resources Management in Ontario - "Documenting The Opportunity" for their information. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #4/93, Resolution #A87/93 endorsed the concept proposals contained in the ACAO document entitled "Restructuring Resource Management in Ontario - A Blueprint for Success ". As a result of the submission of this document to the Minister of Natural Resources, the ACAO was asked to submit an additional report which would provide detail on the "One Window Approach" suggested in the original report. The report sketches out a model for implementing a "One Window Approach" by defining roles for the various partners and identifies the potential savings. By the introduction of a team approach, where each team member is given a specific role to play, the cost of natural resource management can be reduced by the estimated cost of the overlap and duplication. The model for such a system involves a role for the province with respect to enabling legislation, policy development, research and technology transfer. At the local level, programs flowing from this provincial direction are delivered through partnerships between conservation authorities, municipalities and community groups. This model has the potential to result in increased efficiencies in delivery as well as significant financial benefits to the province by reducing public expenditures and streamlining the various processes involved. In order for these benefits to be realized, immediate and direct action is required commencing with a commitment on the part of the province to the ideas put forward, followed by direction from the Ministers of Natural Resources, Environment and Energy, Agricultural and Food and Municipal Affairs to work with conservation authorities to achieve the necessary changes.

LAND ACQUISITION PROJECT 1987 -1991 AND INTERIM GREENSPACE PROTECTION AND ACQUISITION PROJECT 1993 -1995 FLOOD PLAIN AND CONSERVATION COMPONENT (CONTD.) - Michael William and Mary Anastasia Riley Property, Rouge River Watershed BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #6/93 held on July 23, 1993, the members of the Authority authorized completion of the purchase of the subject property at an amount of 5530,000.00, on the basis that the Town of Markham agree to pay a minimum of 50% of the purchase price and costs; and, the Province of Ontario agree to pay the balance of the purchase price and costs. In accordance with the direction of the Authority, staff immediately re- opened negotiations with members of the Riley family and on July 28, 1993, a revised Offer to Sell was obtained from the Riley family within the conditions as approved at the meeting held on July 23, 1993. Requests for funding to complete this purchase were forwarded to officials of the Town of Markham, the Province of Ontario and the Government of Canada. Council of the Town of Markham at a meeting held on August 24, 1993, approved a contribution of an amount not to exceed 50% of the total purchase price and ancillary costs in connection with the purchase of the property. Staff of the Ministry of Natural Resources have advised that there are no special funds that can be made available on an immediate basis to facilitate this acquisition. Provincial staff are sympathetic to the Authority's concerns and have identified potential immediate funding options as being supported through Program Related Capital (Local Priorities Funding) funds or reserve funds or potentially later in the year, the possibility of surplus capital funds being available from projects of other Conservation Authorities. While no formal response has been obtained from the Federal Government, Authority officials are currently in discussions with officials of the office of The Honourable Pauline Browes, M.P., Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, Bill Attewell, M.P. and Parks Canada in Cornwall, Ontario. Staff have obtained an extension to the date of August 25, 1993 as set out in the existing Offer to Sell until 12:00 midnight, August 27, 1993 from the Riley family for the funding condition to be satisfied. While an attempt was made to obtain a longer extension, Mr. Riley has advised that this will be the only and final change and extension given. Given the provincial response that there are no special funds available to us, and the conditions in the Offer to Sell Agreement, that we confirm the availability of funding by August 27, 1993 (as amended), there are a number of options available to the Authority to procure the provincial share of the purchase price. These options include: (1) surplus capital funding from other Conservation Authority's projects which don't proceed in 1993; (2) surplus capital funding from this Authority from projects which don't proceed in 1993; (3) use of program related capital (local priorities funding); (4) and, the use of the provincial share of the land sale revenues held under the Provincial Revenue Sharing Policy. A102 AUTHORITY MEETING #7193, AUGUST 27, 1993 7. LAND ACQUISITION PROJECT 1987 -1991 AND INTERIM GREENSPACE PROTECTION AND ACQUISITION PROJECT 1993 -1995 FLOOD PLAIN AND CONSERVATION COMPONENT (CONTD.) - Michael William and Mary Anastasia Riley Property, Rouge River Watershed The Ministry of Natural Resources staff are of the opinion that surplus provincial capital funding will likely be available later this year, as the Province's Expenditure Control Program has delayed the funding approval process and consequently the start of numerous capital projects of all Ontario's Authorities (provincial capital spending approvals are now anticipated by September 1, 1993). Further, Authority staff will continue to pursue Federal funding sources which, if successful, will equally reduce the contributions of the province and the Town of Markham. Other than Option #4, the sources of provincial and /or federal funding meet the intent of the original Authority's direction, i.e., that additional provincial dollars be found in order that existing or future Authority objectives are not jeopardized. Option #4 however, although to be used only as a last resort, must be considered due to our inability to confirm additional provincial dollars. Staff are recommending that we proceed to finalize this purchase and have put forward a revised recommendation reflecting the fact that the Province has not confirmed their share. 8.

CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority meeting #7/91 held on October 18, 1991, the members of the Authority approved the purchase of 155 acres, more or less, from the Estate of John Osler. The purchase price for this property was $690,000. payable on closing and, in addition, the Authority guaranteed payment of an additional $200,000. on or before December 31, 1993. This payment was to be obtained from the sale of five acres which was part of the original holding and was severed into a lot in conjunction with the purchase. Subsequently the size of the proposed lot was reduced from five acres to two and one half acres to meet environmental concerns and to allow for as much as possible of this Oakridges Moraine and Duffins Creek headwaters land to remain in public ownership. The lot was listed at $215,000. on the multiple listing service for the Toronto Real Estate Board and the Oshawa and District Real Estate Board in December of 1991. The listing price was reduced to $201,000. in March of 1993 and the property is not currently listed. Since no offers were received through real estate agents the availability of the lot at this location was advertised publicly for sale in two major Toronto newspapers and two local newspapers during the past few weeks. FINANCIAL DETAILS The funds generated from this sale will be utilized to pay the outstanding commitment from the purchase of the Estate of John G. Osler Property. An amount of $200,000. from Authority land sale revenue from the Hwy. 407 sale at Claireville, which was the funding source approved by the Province of Ontario to fund this purchase has been held in reserve pending the successful completion of this sale.

CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority meeting #3/93 held on April 23, 1993, a residential lot together with a dilapidated frame dwelling was declared surplus to the requirements of the Authority. This decision was made after extensive public consultation in accordance with Authority policy for land disposal.

AUTHORITY MEETING #7193, AUGUST 27, 1993 A105 11. PICKERING AIRPORT LANDS - Disposal of Surplus Land KEY ISSUE The August 25, 1993 federal government announcement of the sale of surplus lands at the Pickering airport site. Res. #A160/93 Moved by: Seconded by: Lois Griffin Lorna Jackson THAT the staff report regarding the August 25, 1993 announcement of the sale of surplus lands at the Pickering airport site be received; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to continue discussions with the federal government with respect to the protection and acquisition of the valley and stream corridors contained within those lands now considered surplus. CARRIED BACKGROUND On August 25, 1993, Transport Canada announced that it was proceeding with the first phase of the sale of surplus land at the Pickering airport site. A copy of the government announcement is attached for your information. The Authority first expressed its interest in these lands, to Transport Canada, in 1987, when the disposal of land was first proposed. At that time, the valley lands and the environmentally significant lands were identified as being of interest to the Authority. The Authority requested that these lands be deleted from any proposed sale to the private sector and that they be conveyed to • the MTRCA for the nominal consideration of $2.00. In 1992, the Authority reiterated its interest in all flood plain, valley, conservation, environmentally significant and trail corridor lands located within lands being, then, considered as potentially surplus. It was pointed out that these lands are essential for conservation purposes; that the Authority has consistently protected this type of land by bringing it into public ownership; and, for these reasons, it was urged that they remain in public ownership. In January, 1993, the Authority adopted the following resolution: Resolution #229 THAT staff be directed to review the Federal Government proposal to dispose of its surp /us airport land ho /ding in Pickering with the aim to examine the acquisition and control over valley lands and stream corridors. Transport Canada was advised of the Authority's continuing interest in acquiring the flood plain, valley, conservation and environmentally significant lands located within the surplus land area. A106 AUTHORITY MEETING #7/93, AUGUST 27, 1993 11. PICKERING AIRPORT LANDS (CONTD.) - Disposal of Surplus Land IMPACT ON AUTHORITY POLICIES AND PROGRAMS There are important greenspace resources within the federal lands currently being considered for disposal as surplus. The Authority's advocacy of the protection of the valley and stream corridors on the Airport lands is consistent with the goals and objectives for valley and stream corridor management. The lands under consideration for disposal are within the Oak Ridges Moraine and the valley and stream corridors are important headwaters. Mapping has been provided to Transport Canada identifying those lands of interest to the Authority. Authority staff have also provided comments to Transport Canada with respect to the draft Phase 1A Report under the federal environmental assessment and review process (EARP) stating that the sale of the valley and stream corridors would not be consistent with public interest in and support for the protection of environmental resources in the Greater Toronto Area. It was noted that Authority staff disagreed with the conclusion of the EARP Draft that there "are no significant effects upon the physical environment ...(and)...the biological environment associated with the disposition undertaking ". This comment was based on the Authority's experience that public ownership of valley and stream corridors is important where the nature of the resource is such that it is critical to the ecosystem and must remain unaltered to perform its natural functions and that regulation, planning controls and landowner stewardship have not, in the past, been reliable protective measures.

INTERIM WASTE AUTHORITY (CONTD.) - Identification of Preferred Landfill Sites Request for Participant Funding WHEREAS Authority staff do not have the technical expertise to assess the methodology used by the IWA or to ensure these interests have been addressed, in particular, the assessment of the potential ecological impact resulting from the relocation and or diversion of headwaters tributaries, on the overall watershed system, and the assessment of the potential for contamination or depletion of aquifers which recharge to a watershed system affecting base flow quality and quantity. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the Authority request participant funding in order to retain expert assistance to ensure the watershed resources of the Humber River, the Don River and the Duffins Creek have been protected and to advise on site specific design and operations criteria related to the Authority's concerns for each of the three recommended landfill sites. AMENDMENT Res. #A218/93 Moved by: Seconded by: THAT the last paragraph of the recommendation be amended to read: Richard O'Brien Eldred King BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Authority submit a letter of intent to request participant funding in order to retain expert assistance to ensure the watershed resources of the Humber River, the Don River and the Duffins Creek will be protected and to advise the Authority on those issues related to the Authority's concerns for each of the three recommended landfill sites subject to a review of the conditions associated with this funding and legal advice. THE AMENDMENT WAS CARRIED THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS CARRIED BACKGROUND In its input and comment to the IWA, Authority staff has identified the following areas of interest: potential impacts on areas regulated under Ontario Regulation 158/90; potential impacts on the Iandforms and ecological functions of valley and stream corridors; potential impacts on water quality, both surface and groundwater, which could impact on the watersheds within Authority jurisdiction; potential impacts on areas designated as, or potentially, environmentally significant. These concerns relate not only to the sites and their "zones of impact" but also to the transportation /access routes that may be affected by the selection of a specific site. NOVEMBER 26, 1993, AUTHORITY MEETING #10/93 A144 21. INTERIM WASTE AUTHORITY (CONTD.) - Identification of Preferred Landfill Sites Request for Participant Funding There are specific concerns with respect to the long term health of watershed ecosystems which Authority staff identified as being beyond their technical expertise to assess. To enable this type of assessment and to ensure the long term health of the watersheds under Authority jurisdiction, the Authority requested funding from the IWA to address its concerns regarding: how to assess the potential ecological impact resulting from the relocation and or diversion of headwaters tributaries, on the overall watershed system, and how to assess the potential for contamination of aquifers which may recharge to a watershed system. This request was denied. These concerns remain, particularly as all three preferred sites are located within watersheds under the jurisdiction of the Authority. In addition, recent information with respect to the impact of the operation of the purge well system at the Keele Valley landfill on baseflow in the Don River watershed was presented to the Don Watershed Task Force. This has increased our concerns with respect to future sites and their potential negative impacts on baseflow quality and quantity.
