While a substantial number of encroachment problems have been resolved through the activities of the Metro Encroachment Review Committee which includes the Chief Administrative Officer of the Authority, the Deputy Commissioner of M,etro Parks and Property and a representative of the Metro Planning Department, it appears that certain encroachment problems cannot be suitably resolved without litigation.

PERSONNEL POLICY C-2 -Recognition Awards -Safety Awards KEY ISSUE Amending the criteria for the qualifying of the Safe Worker Award to include preventing an injury to a visitor as well as an employee. Res. #20 Moved by: Lois Hancey Seconded by: Loma Jackson THAT the criteria for staff qualifying to receive the Safe Worker Award, be expanded to include injuries to visitors. CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1987, the Authority initiated a "Safe Worker Award" as part of our Health and Safety Program to recognize employees who, through safe working practices or a specific action, had prevented injury to themselves or fellow workers. The award consists of a framed citation presented to the recipient at an appropriate Authority meeting and publicity through our normal communication vehicles, e.g., minutes, newsletters. Employees are nominated in writing, with details of the incident, by a fellow employee. Nominations are forwarded to the Occupational Health and Safety Committee for adjudication. In 1987, three Safe Worker Awards were presented. B-16 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/92, MARCH 13, 1992 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 14. PERSONNEL POLICY C-2 (CONTD.) -Recognition Awards -Safety Awards RATIONAL The purpose for establishing the Safe Worker Award was to provide a means for raising the profile of safety in Authority work places, by recognizing good examples of safe work practices that prevented or lessened injury. In the initial year, considerable interest was shown in this program but, despite periodic internal promotion, no further nominations deemed appropriate, have been forthcoming. Initially, including prevention of injury to visitors was not included as it was deemed to be an inherent component of every employee's job. The Occupational Health and Safety Committee, in reviewing this award program, believes that this was too narrow a view and the award program should be expanded to include visitors. By so doing, it would provide an opportunity to recognize employees when they have indeed preformed well in carrying out their normal duties. 15. NEW PERSONNEL POLICIES - EMPLOYMENT EQUITY AND WORKPLACE HARASSMENT KEY ISSUE To incorporate policies on Employment Equity and Workplace Harassment into the Authority's Personnel Manual. Res. #21 Moved by: lois Hancey Seconded by: Brian Harrison THAT appendix FA.22/92, Personnel Policies ftEmployment Equityft and ftHarassmentft be approved. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Finance and Administration Advisory Board Meeting #8/91, January 10, 1992, deferred this item for further information on the Workplace Harassment Policy. The Board requested a legal opinion on the wording and process as described in the policy; a legal opinion on employer liability in the event of a complaint and an 'indication of how the Authority intends to develop employee awareness of the policy. Our lawyers confirmed that the wording of the proposed policy is in conformity with provincial legislation. In the absence of an instant case, the question of financial liability is difficult to address. Our lawyers confirmed that the Ontario Human Rights Commission, through Section 36 or 37 of the Act, can award costs. On the issue of employee awareness, the Authority has taken many steps during the last five years to inform employees about the Ontario Human Rights Code and its implications for the workplace. This has been done through seminars, memorandum, newsletters and discussion. The Authority's Personnel Manual makes various references to "Equality of Employment Opportunity" and to "a workplace free from discrimination and/or harassment". To strengthen our corporate commitment to these important issues, separate policies are proposed. The Employment Equity Policy is proposed at this time as a statement of principle. The policy will be enhanced to incorporate the salient features of the Province's Employment Equity Act when the legislation is passed in the Spring, 1992. , . EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/92, MARCH 13, 1992 B-17 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 16. KORTRIGHT CENTRE FOR CONSERVATION -Solar Energy Exhibit for Heating Swimming Pool Water KEY ISSUE Awarding a contract for the construction of an outdoor exhibit to demonstrate the usage of solar energy for heating swimming pool water as part of the Kortright Centre for Conservation Energy Theme Program.

CARRIED BACKGROUND At Meeting #"/92 the Kortright Energy Theme Steering Committee confirmed that the solar energy swimming pool heating display project was to proceed. In order to solicit proposals for this exhibit a Request for Proposal was published in the CanSIA Bulletin, a publication of the Canadian Solar Industries Association. This publication reaches over 130 different companies in the Canadian solar power industry. The basic criteria in the request for proposal were: - Exhibit will be a working model. There is no swimming pool on site. - Must include at least one full size solar panel. - Should include interactive components. - The display should be able to operate without a source of AC power. - Must operate through a minimum of three seasons (spring, summer, fall). Four different written proposals were received in response. All of the respondents talked with Kortright staff before submitting their ideas and all the proposals were accompanied by firm price quotations which includes the design, construction and installation. The responses were evaluated on the following criteria: - Information content - Perceived publiC appeal (i.e., hands on) - Seasonal adaptability - Cost including installation and ongoing maintenance - Company's experience with both solar power and educational displays - Ability to .stand alone" in both content and physical requirements - Realism and relevance to "real world" applications The companies and their quotes were as follows (excluding PST and GST): Mayerson Solar Sales Limited $ 15,900 McKerlie Solar Systems $ 11,650 Solar Evaluation Services $ 11,600 Solcan $ 14,800 Each of the companies took a different design approach and this is reflected in their cost estimates. , . 8-18 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/92, MARCH 13, 1992 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 16. KORTRIGHT CENTRE FOR CONSERVATION (CONTD.) -Solar Energy Exhibit for Heating Swimming Pool Water RATIONALE The 'Mayerson display is the most effective educationally and the only one that would be useable throughout the year. The proposal was the most comprehensive and responsive to the Ministry of Energy's project criteria. Mayerson also recently completed a similar display for an Ottawa area school board that was similar in scope to the one envisioned for Kortright. Although their proposal is the highest quote it is still within the guidelines set by the Steering Committee. Kortright staff is satisfied that the Mayerson proposal best meets the requirements of the exhibit and the Ministry of Energy. FINANCIAL DETAILS The funds for this exhibit were part of the Ministry of Energy's 1991-1992 budget and are included in the Energy Theme grant to the Kortright Centre. 17.

DEMOLITION, FORMER DOMTAR PROPERTY -Don River Valley, Beechwood Drive, East York KEY ISSUE The smoke stack be removed from the contract for demolition of the former Domtar Inc. buildings. Res. #42' Moved by: Jim Witty Seconded by: Lorna Jackson THAT staff be directed to alter the terms of the demolition contrect at the former Dorntar property so as to only preserve the existing smoke stack; THAT the amount of the demolition contract be Increased to $240,469.66 to include all edditional asbestos removal and to facilitate the retention of the smoke stack; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to attempt to secure the required funding to rastore end structurally reinforce the smoke stack. CARRIED . BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #8/91 held on November 29, 1991, the Authority authorized awarding a contract for demolition of certain buildings at the former Domtar property in the Don Valley which was acquired by the Authority in December, 1989, to Vie Priestly Contracting Limited for an amount of $198,806. Since January 1992, demolition of the former Domtar Paper Mill on Beechwood Drive in the City of East York has been underway in accordance with the approvals issued previo.usly by the Authority. A demolition permit was obtained from the Borough of East York. On March 3rd, the Authority was notified of concerns by various individuals, for preservation of the smoke stack as an appropriate means of recognition of the historical use of the property. Authority staff requested the demolition contractor to leave the boiler room and the entire smoke stack until receipt of further direction. A review of the smoke stack and the boiler room has been conducted by an architect and preliminary estimates of restoration costs have been obtained. A basic review of the historical significance of the property and the chimney structure in particular, has been undertaken. The preliminary structural review of the smoke stack was undertaken by Mr. David Eckler, Project Architect, Annau Associates Architects Inc., and Mr. Barry Charnish, P.Eng. of Yolles Partnership Ltd. is conducting a more detailed structural review. The preliminary historical evaluation was undertaken by Ms. Anne M. de Fort-Menares of Resource Data. Ms. de Fort-Menares has reported that mills were first built in the Don Valley in 1795. A mill was establish~d on the site in question in H~58, by the Taylor family. The mill on the subject site was the middle of three mills, all operated by the Taylor family for various periods. The smoke stack on the property probably dates from about 1860, although it was renovated in 1922 following a fire at the mill and the most recent renovating was done in the 1970's. The Domtar Site is close to other heritage resources in the Don Valley. The Todmorden Mills Site is just downstream, as is the Don Valley Brick Works Site, where extensive restoration of industrial heritage buildings is under consideration. However, it is felt that the smoke stack at the Domtar Site is an important part of the recognition of the industrial heritage of the Don Valley. As a result of this information, the Members of the Authority at a meeting held on March 27, 1991, adopted the following resolution: "THAT staff be directed to alter the terms of the demolition contract at the former Domtar property so as the preserve the existing smoke stack and any appropriate sections of the walls and roof of the adjacent boiler room; . EXECUTIVE COMMmEE 112/92, APRIL 10, 1992 B-33 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 5. DEMOLITION, FORMER DOMTAR PROPERTY (CONTD.) -Don River Valley, Beechwood Drive, East York THAT the staff be directed to hold further discussions with The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, Borough of East York and other interested parties concerning the feasibility of preserving the smoke stack and boiler room and report to the Water and Related land Management Advisory Board; AND FURTHER THAT the Authority advise The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto that if it is decided to retain the smoke stack and boiler room, that the Authority could contribute up to $20,000 towards the cost of stabilization of the structures." At the Water and Related Land Management Advisory Board meeting held on April 3, 1992 the following resolution was adopted: "THAT expense involved in the demolition of the Domtar Smoke Stack be presented for approval at Executive Committee Meeting #2/92, to be held April 10, 1992." In mid 1991, P. Krytiuk & Associates Ltd. was engaged by the Authority to carry out a qualitative asbestos survey of the Domtar buildings to determine the extent of the asbestos in the buildings for use in tender for the demolition of the buildings. During the demolition work of the Domtar buildings, additional asbestos was discovered in various areas of the buildings with the majority and worst type being discovered inside the boiler. The cost of removing the asbestos in the boiler room is $36.495.56 and the cost of removing the remaining additional asbestos is $16,082.10 for a total additional cost of $52,577 .66, including G.S.T. Also during the awarding of the demolition contract to Vie Priestly Contracting Limited, staff secured free dumping privileges at Metro Landfill Sites for the material from this demolition for a saving to the Authority of $26,750, including G.S.T. The asbestos matter has been discussed extensively with Metro staff and staff feel that all asbestos should be removed from site during the demolition at a cost of $52,577.66 including G.S.T. From investigations, it would appear that the boiler room is not historically significant, and with the asbestos removed the boiler room should be demolished. As the boiler room at some places is.attached to the chimney, its removal will require some hand demolition work that is not included in the original contract. We have been advised by the demolition contractor that this additional work will cost $15,836.00 including G.S.T. The exterior of the smoke stack is in poor condition, and we are still awaiting advice from Mr. Barry Charnish as to short and long term stability of the smoke stack. Mr. David Eckler has provided us with a price of $59,187.50 plus G.S.T. to restore the exterior of the smoke stack, as well as structurally reinforce it. In view of the current estimate for asbestos removal, the $20,000 noted in the resolution adopted by the Members of the Authority at the meeting held on March 27, 1992, will no longer be available for assisting with stabilization of the chimney. It is proposed that the Authority staff attempt to seek funding from other sources. Metro Parks and Property have indicated that they do not want to retain the smoke stack, and that if the Authority does retain the smoke stack, it should be removed from the area and facilities to be managed and operated by the Parks and Property Department. Staff to date have not discussed the preservation of the smoke stack and boiler room with Officials of East York, but are attempting to arrange the necessary meeting. FINANCIAL DETAILS It is proposed that, subject to approval of the Province of Ontario, the additional funding for the increase in the demolition contract be from revenue currently at hand. The funding for this demolition will be charged to account 004-11-348 Flood Control Hazard Account. B-34 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/92, APRIL 10, 1992 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 6.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/92, MAY 8, 1992 B-57 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 4. GYPSY MOTH - Application of Pesticide on Authority Property KEY ISSUE Applying the pesticide (Bacillus thurinaiensisl on Authority property to reduce defoliation of trees by Gypsy Moth. Res. #75 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Lois Hancey IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT staff arrange to undertake spraying programs on Authority land as required to reduce defoliation of trees by gypsy moth. CARRIED BACKGROUND Staff reported on the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Gypsy Moth Spray Program at Executive Committee Meeting #11/91, held on October 4, 1991. The following resolution was adopted: Res. #213 "THAT application be made to the Ministry of Natural Resources' Gy~sy Moth Spray Program when applicable. " The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority applied to the Regional Gypsy Moth Coordinator to have approximately 225 ha. aerial sprayed with Bacillus thurinaiensis (Bt) in 1992 to reduce tree defoliation by gypsy moth. Spray locations included forests at the former Walker property and Glen Major Resource Management Tract in the Township of Uxbridge. The MNR program subsidized the cost of the pesticide application. The Authority's contribution would be $1,100. In February 1992, the Province cancelled its 1992 spraying program for gypsy moth. Reasons given for its cancellation include: . the subsidy was too costly given the current economic conditions; . reallocation of funds to higher priority initiatives in forestry. In a news release, MNR indicated they would replace the Private Land Gypsy Moth Spraying Program by offering municipalities a cooperative Forest Health Information and Awareness Program. MNR would provide participating municipalities a grant to allow them to hire a forest health information officer. Training, educational and information material would also be provided by MNR. Municipalities would be asked to provide the information officer with administrative support and a work place. The Township of Uxbridge may be the most heavily gypsy moth infested area in the MTACA watershed. Forest stands on the former Walker property have been severely defoliated for the last several years. Forest health has declined within the Walker property causing trees to be susceptible to other insects and disease. There is significant mortality and dieback of the red oak trees. The egg mass survey completed in the fall 1991, suggests that severe defoliation can be expected in 1992. For large scale projects in natural woodlands, aerial spraying is the most effective method of providing foliage protection. Because of limited MTACA funding, staff prioritized the former Walker property and identified 40 ha to be sprayed. The decision to spray in the future will depend on the results of egg mass surveys undertaken each autumn. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE - Obtain three written quotes to aerial spray 40 ha. with Bt at the former Walker property. . . B-58 " EXECUTIVE CC?MMITTEE #3/92, MAY 8, 1992 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 4. GYPSY MOTH (CONTD.) - Application of Pesticide on Authority Property - Continue to monitor gypsy moth through egg mass surveys to determine. the results of spraying, spreading of the insects and degree of defoliation that can be expected. FINANCIAL DETAILS The Authority will spend up to $5,000 from its resource management tract maintenance account, 116-06, to carry out an aerial spraying program. The need to reallocate funds to a gypsy moth spraying program will result in a reduction in the amount of other Authority land maintenance, including fencing, signage and firebreak improvement. 5. FORMER DOMTAR PROPERTY - Smokestack KEY ISSUE Detailed investigations have determined that it is not feasible to restore the smokestack. Res. #76 Moved by: Lois Hancey Seconded by: Jim Witty IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT staff be directed to proceed with the demolition of the remainder of the former Domtar plant and the smokestack as originally planned. CARRIED BACKGROUND Several recent reports to the Authority and the Executive Committee dealt with the desire to remove the smokestack from the demolition contract so that attempts could be made to raise funds to restore the structure. Initial inspection reports suggested that the smokestack could probably be restored. More detailed examinations have now confirmed that the stack is structurally unsound and that only through extensive structural reinforcement could it be maintained. It is considered unsafe in its present condition and beyond reasonable repair. 6.

FULL AUTHORITY REVIEW OF PLANNING APPLICATIONS KEY ISSUE Evaluation of the City of Scarborough Council Resolution, and subsequent Authority direction, regarding a mechanism to accommodate Authority review of Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law AmendmentlRezoning, and Site Plan Control applications. Res. #89 Moved by: Lois Hancey Seconded by: Lois Griffin THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT when Authority staff are aware of conflicts between Municipal Council objectives and Authority policies on site specific development applications that staff report to the Executive Committee for direction on how to proceed. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #1/92, February 21, 1992, the Authority considered a staff report and recommendation regarding Full Authority review of the above-noted municipal planning applications. This report was in response to a request by Scarborough Council. Staff advised that Full Authority review of these planning applications was not practical nor necessary given the volume, deadlines and nature of staff comment (implementation of adopted Authority pOlicies) and recommended that current procedures be maintained. The Authority passed a Motion to Defer, Resolution #16, as follows: wTHA T the staff report concerning Full Authority Review of Planning Applications be referred back to staff, and that staff be requested to make suggestions as to how the Authority could assist municipalities in planning applications where Authority policy on which staff base comments, may be in conflict with the wishes of the municipality. CARRIEDw --- ----- EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/92, JUNE 12, 1992 B-71 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 3. FULL AUTHORITY REVIEW OF PLANNING APPLICATIONS (CONTD.) RATIONALE The volume of applications and associated deadlines do not allow for Authority review prior to staff comments being forwarded to its municipalities. For example, in 1991, 232 Official Plan Amendments, 273 Zoning By- law Amendments/Rezonings and 247 Site Plan Control applications were reviewed. Comments are typically required within 15 to 30 days upon receipt of these applications. As a result, the Authority has relied on its strategic planning documents, such as the Watershed Plan, Greenspace Strategy, the Comprehensive Basin Planning Strategy for the Rouge River Watershed, and municipal strategic planning documents, such as Official Plans and Comprehensive Zoning By-laws, as a means of integrating Conservation Authority and municipal objectives for resource management and urban planning and land development. Authority programs, policies, etc. are reviewed and endorsed by its Watershed municipalities. The Authority requests input and comment on and incorporates and addresses local and regional concerns within its strategic planning documents and responds to their priorities as best possible through the Budget preparation and approval process. For example, the E.S.A. Study Update has been incorporated into our 1992 work program on the basis of local and regional concern. . From time to time, apparent conflicts or concerns do arise on site specific development applications. In these instances, it has been the practice of the local or regional municipality - through its Councilor other Planning Committees - to refer the application for further Authority staff or member review. This has been an effective mechanism for ensuring that the local or regional concern is clearly identified and therefore addressed to the fullest extent possible by the Authority. Municipal planning staff have also been helpful in communicating local issues to Authority staff prior to the preparation of staff comments. In these instances, direction to Authority staff from its members is required. It is therefore recommended that when Authority staff are aware of conflicts between Municipal Council Objectives and Authority policies on site speCific development proposals that staff report to the Executive Committee for direction on how to proceed. 4. 1993 ACAO BIENNIAL TOUR/CONFERENCE PLANNING COMMITTEE KEY ISSUE Members to be appointed to the 1993 ACAO Biennial TourlConference Planning Committee.

PHOTOCOPIER FOR ADMINISTRATION PRINTING OPERATIONS -Replacement KEY ISSUE This report recommends the acquisition of a mid-high volume copier to replace outdated, inadequate equipment. Res. #100 Moved by: Lorna Jackson Seconded by: Paul Palleschi IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the proposal from Gestetner Inc. to provide a Gestetner 2485 ZDF photocopier be accepted, it being the one product that best meets Authority requirements at an acceptable tendered price; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to take the necessary action to give effect thereto. CARRIED B-82 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/92, JUNE 12, 1992 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 14. PHOTOCOPIER FOR ADMINISTRATION PRINTING OPERATIONS (CONTD.) -Replacement BACKGROUND The Authority Head Office printing operation has two low-mid volume copiers in addition to a high volume Xerox 1090. As a result of problems with equipment maintenance, copy quality and demands for higher volume and quality of printing, staff initiated a review of our copying equipment needs. Nashua 7150C - This machine was purchased in 1990 to replace an outdated and burned out Xerox 1045. It has many modern features such as double sided copying, auto paper selection and excellent copy quality. This machine continues to provide satisfactory service. Xerox 1 050 - This machine was purchased in 1986 and has in excess of 2.5 million copies through it. It was designed to handle 20 - 25,000 copies monthly and is now handling 35,000 copies monthly. The machine requires frequent repairs and cannot maintain quality. EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS The objective is to find a copier with features and speed to reduce copying time as lI'(ell as reducing costs. Monthly volume is at the 65-75,000 copy per month with a 10% yearly increase in the number of copies. A significant improvement is two sided copying as a standard practice. Current maintenance costs are expensive. Generally speaking, the faster the copier the more reliable and inexpensive it is to operate. Our study shows that over the course of six years we can actually save money as well as meet current and future needs. SELECTION PROCESS Minimum specifications to meet the Authority's requirements were prepared. The companies contacted and prices received are included in Tender Opening Sub-Committee Report #3/92 dated April 10, 1992. The Exdos proposal was rejected because it involved rebuilt equipment, while Doerring & Brown's proposal did not meet basic specifications. Tana Business Systems Ltd. proposal was rejected because they refused to return calls to look at equipment or answer any of our questions. Savin's proposal was rejected because it had capacity only for current needs with no room for future growth. Calls to Savin customers and consumer reports substantiate this. A copier which came closest to Authority specifications was selected from each of the remaining vendors. The following criteria was used to choose the copier: (1 ) COPIER SPEED - Specifications in the tender ask for a copier in the 70 -100 copies per minute (cpm) range. Pricing was received for machines in the 60 -100 cpm. range and copiers below 70 cpm. were rejected. The Xerox 1090 & the 5100 copier speed specifications far exceeded what was needed and were very expensive. (2) FEATURES - There was one machine which met and actually went beyond our needs but remained affordable. The Mita or Gestetner copier has a zoom from 50 -200%, has a large capacity paper tray of 2600 sheets, and provides a quick one out copy if desired. Soon to be available is the ability to staple in three locations and to 3 hole punch. A most important feature lacking in current equipment is the ability to do double sided copying. This feature will reduce the amount of paper being used. Information outlining the features of all copiers is available. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/92, JUNE 12, 1992 B-83 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 14. PHOTOCOPIER FOR ADMINISTRATION PRINTING OPERATIONS (CONTO.) -Replacement (3) SERVICING & RELIABILITY - As 3 tenders were received for the same machine (Gestetner, Beta Office Equipment & Copiers Limited), we have to consider a company that provides reliable servicing as well as being around for the next six years. Because of recessionary times, dealers seem to come and go. Gestetner Inc. is a growing company that recently bought out Nashua and Savin. (4) COSTS - Servicing costs for the existing copiers are 1.4 cents per copy. In assessing costs, we had to include the purchase cost of the copiers and maintenance & toners costs. Taking into account the yearly volume increase, it is estimated that in six years 5,511,628 copies will be made. We arrived at an average cost per copy. All machines either at or below the 1.4 cent cost were considered. The Gestetner proposal should realize a savings of $27,558 over the six year period. Maintenance costs are firm for one year and limited to cost of living increase in future years. CONCLUSION While it is the second lowest priced product with the necessary features, staff recommend purchasing the Gestetner 2485. It appears to be an excellent copier providing both speed and great copy quality. The price for the Gestetner copier is $22,000, plus tax. FUNDING Funding is provided in the 1992 Finance & Administration equipment account. 15.

QUOTATION FOD 92-22 (CONTD.) - Waste Management Contracts 1992/93 BACKGROUND The Authority's Waste Management Program encompasses 18 locations with a variety of waste disposal, including recycling programs for fine paper, corrugated cardboard, wood and cans. Quotations were requested on a site by site basis, based on cost per lift for various sized containers, plus landfill costs where applicable. The contracts allow for staff followup on contractor's recycling programs and the right to terminate the contract with sixty days written notice for unsatisfactory service or performan,ce. Each company was contacted regarding recyclable waste and staff is satisfied with the list of companies to which recyclable materials i.e., glass, cans, paper, cardboard, plastic and wood are transfered. FINANCIAL DETAILS The 1990 waste disposal costs for all locations was $73,597 compared to $95,622 for 1991. Based on estimated volumes, the 1992-93 costs should not exceed $100,000. The recommended contractor for each location is based on the lowest price per lift for the various size containers required to suit location operating needs. It was noted in the review of the tenders that there was a significant decrease in the cost per lift for front end containers, ie. 4, 6 and 8 cubic yard containers. Most locations should show a slight decrease in their disposal costs for 1992/93, except where tonnage charges apply. 16.

Repairs only afforded a temporary solution as functioning problems, especially with the remote system, continued to arise. Tico Crane was also purchased this year by Hiab Crane. Staff took the present crane to Hiab Crane to get an estimate on a complete reconditioning versus purchase of a new unit. The estimated repair was $10,000 and estimated acquisition was $20,000. On this basis, staff proceeded to call quotations for a replacement of the present unit as funds 1$33,500) had been included in the 1992 Equipment Replacement Budget.

Several recommendations dealt with planning and development issues for a proposed waterfront system of trails from Burlington to the Trent River. In order to achieve this program in a cost effective manner, a "Waterfront Regeneration Trust" (legislation pending) is being created that will draw on the expertise of existing agencies and groups. Staff are being seconded from the Ministry of Natural Resources to coordinate shoreline regeneration, land use management and trails initiatives. The services of Ian Deslauriers, Manager, Planning and Development have been requested. Through his work on outdoor recreation projects for the Authority, Ian has developed expertise in trail design, signage, and management standards as well as publiC consultation on trails related issues. DETAILS OF PROJECT A secondment is proposed that would require the Manager to work on the following terms of reference: . provide technical supervision of trail design guidelines, signage and management standards; . resolve issues related to public liability on trails; . assist in corporate and agency sponsorship initiatives; . liaise between the Trust, waterfront trail groups, municipalities and agencies in the Metropolitan Toronto, Pickering and Ajax portions of the waterfront. FINANCIAL DETAILS The following conditions would apply to the secondment: . half time devoted to waterfront trails issues for the periOd of July, 1992 to June 1993 with provision for a review of the secondment for a possible extension for one additional year; . travel expenses for waterfront trail duties to be paid by the Commission; . salary and benefits to be paid by the Authority. BENEFITS & IMPACTS Coordination between the complex network of agencies and municipalities along the waterfront would have been difficult for the Conservation Authority to accomplish on its own.

CARRIED BACKGROUND As part of the ongoing financial management program, staff provide four financial progress reports detailing year-to-date expenditures and revenues as well as projections for the year, with budget comparisons. B-1 00 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/92, JULY 10, 1992 , SECTION I- ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 2.. '1992 FINANCIAL PROGRESS REPORT NO.1 AND APPROVAL OF ACCOUNTS -March and April, 1992 Subsection 2(c) of the "Rules for the Conduct of the Authority" delegates to the Executive Committee the power "to approve and authorize payment of all accounts within the approved budget of the Authority in accordance with any monetary or other limits set by the Authority". Staff is proposing that approval of the accounts come forward at the same time that a financial progress report is presented. ANALYSIS Within the text of the financial progress report are staff comments on any significant variances which have been identified. In the past, approval of the accounts has gone before the Executive Committee on a monthly basis. Staff is of the opinion that the present expenditures approval, within the context of budget comparison and projections to year-end, will provide more meaningful information for the members. The year-to-date expenditures presented are the accumulation of the last four months of actual expenses. Since the Executive Committee has already approved expenditures totalling $3,945,100 for the months of January and February, 1992, approval is now sought for $4,004,100 representing expenditures for March and April, 1992. 3.

Res. #120 Moved by: Jim Witty Seconded by: Brian Harrison THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the staff report on the Interim Waste Authority's Long Ust of Candidate Sites in Durham, Peel and YorklMetropolltan Toronto, be receiVed; THAT staff be directed to continue to participate In the Government Reviewers process to ensure that adopted Authority program, policy and project intarests are addressed; THAT staff notify the Interim,Waste Authority of.the specific Authority interests affected on a site by site basis; , THAT.the,lnterim Waste Authority and the,Mlnlster of, the environment be edvlsed that the Authority considers its lands and those lands it has daslgnated as necessary for the protection of the Greenspace system to be unsuitable for use as a sanitary landfiU site, by their characteristics as floodplain, hazard and valleyland, environmentally significant areas and conservation lands; . AND FURTHER THAT, although the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program has yet to be endorsed by the Authority's watershed municipalities and adopted by the Authority, the principles of valley and stream corridor protection, to ensure the environmental integrity of watarsheds, is integral to the Authority's 1989 Greenspace Strategy and should be recognized and incorporated into the Interim Waste Authority's site selection process. CARRIED EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/92, JULY 10, 1992 B- 1 0 1 . SECTION 1- ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 3. INTERIM WASTE AUTHORITY (CONTO.) - Long List of Candidate Sites Durham, Peel and York!Metro BACKGROUND During the late 1980s, Regional Municipalities were required to develop Solid Waste Management Master Plans. While efforts have been introduced to reduce the volume of waste through reuse and recycling, there continues to be a component of waste which requires disposal in landfill. The most contentious issue in the planning process has been the selection of future landfill sites. On November 21, 1990, the Minister of the Environment announced the government's waste management strategy. It included measures respecting waste reduction, expansion of existing landfills to deal with short- term capacity, and provincial assumption of the landfill siting component of waste management planning. The Interim Waste Authority (IWA) was established by the government in May, 1991, and its powers defined in Bill 143, An Act Respecting the Management of Waste in the Greater Toronto Area and to Amend the Environmental Assessment Act. The Act gives the IWA the mandate to find three landfill sites, one within each of: the Region of Durham to service its disposal needs; the Region of Peel to service its disposal needs; and the Region of York. and Metropolitan Toronto to service their disposal needs. The IWA established a Government Reviewers group in August of 1991 and Authority staff were invited to participate. Input has been provided to the IWA in the form of Authority mapping of Environmentally Significant Areas; land ownership; areas identified as necessary for the protection of the Greenspace system; and areas scheduled under Ontario Regulation 293/86. Staff has provided comment with respect to the ranking and weighting of site selection criteria (October 1991) and the revised approach and criteria (June 1992). In the comments of June, 1992, staff referenced the draft Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program and forwarded copies of the proposalS and diagrams defining the corridors. This was provided as information only, as the program has not been endorsed by the Authority's municipalities or adopted by the Authority. Also in June, 1992, the IWA announced its Long List of Candidate Sites in each of the study areas. There are thirty sites within the Authority's area of jurisdiction, including one on Authority land. Written comments from Government Reviewers regarding the Long List of Candidate Sites has been requested no later than August 6, 1992. The IWA requested permission to enter onto Authority lands for site inspection and testing and was advised of Authority Resolution #19/89, adopted February 24, 1989, as follows: wTHA T considering the nature of current Authority lands (floodplain, hazard and valley land, -..' " '. conservation lands,.environmentally significant features), and taking into account the acreage required . to provide a sanitary landfill site.and the environmental impacts,associated with its operation, the . Authority, as a matter of policy, considers its current lands unsuitable for sanitary landfill purposes. W The IWA proposes to announce its Short List of Sites in September, 1992, and to proceed as quickly as possible to the Final Selection. Once the final reports are completed, the Ministry of the Environment, Environmental Assessment Branch, will coordinate the review of the documents by the Government Reviewers. , In addition to the Government Reviewers process, there is a public partiCipation and review process established, including public open houses and workShops. While the final government review is underway, there will also be a public review. B-l02 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/92, JULY 10,1992 , SECTION 1- ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 3.. ' INTERIM WASTE AUTHORITY (CaNTO.) - Long Ust of Candidate Sites Durham, Peel and York/Metro When all comments, are complete, the IWA will finalize the reports and public hearings will be held. The hearing board will then decide whether to approve, amend or reject the proposal to build the landfill sites as recommended. IMPACT ON AUTHORITY POLICIES & PROGRAMS The Authority participates in the process of planning and development across its area of jurisdiction through three pieces of legislation; the Conservation Authorities Act, the Planning Act, and the Environmental Assessment Act. Under the Conservation Authorities Act, the Authority has the responsibility of developing policies, programs and projects .whereby the natural resources of the watershed may be conserved, ,restored, developed and managed. (Sec. 21.a). The Authority adopted a comprehensive Watershed Plan in 1980 which was updated in 1986 and, in 1989, supplemented by the Greenspace Strategy. To implement a part of its mandate, the Authority has adopted and administers Ontario Regulation 293/86 requiring private or municipal proponents to apply for permission to: build in an area susceptible to flooding, place fill in an area shown on registered schedules, or alter a watercourse. The implementation of the Watershed Plan and Greenspace Strategy occurs not only through the adoption of Authority projects but also through cooperation with the Authority's member and local municipalities and the Province. In particular, Authority staff comment on proposals for development to ensure the policies, programs and projects of the Authority are recognized and that the natural resources of the watershed are protected. In reviewing proposals, Authority goals and objectives are achieved by: (1 ) requiring the recognition of flood and erosion hazard and the incorporation of provisions to protect life and property from risk, including the Authority's regulatory requirements and the provisions of the Provincial Flood Plain Planning Policy; (2) identifying the river valley and stream corridor systems, the headwaters and the Lake Ontario waterfront as components of an integrated Greenspace system and recommending provisions to protect, conserve and enhance these resource areas as the basis for an ecosystem approach to planning; , - (3). .... ~ .requesting provisions to ensure-that'storm drainage and land management activities associated with ,.. ~developmentJredevelopment ,of lands outside. the Greenspace system does not have a negative impact .on these lands; and (4) encouraging public access to and uses of the Greenspace system where this is compatible with the biophysical resources. Since the adoption of the Greenspace Strategy, in 1989, staff have included comments specific to the protection and conservation of the waterfront, river valleys and the headwaters, particularly the Oak Ridges Moraine. . . EXEC~TIVE COMMITTEE #5/92, JULY 10, 1992 B- 103 SECTION I . ,ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 3. INTERIM WASTE AUTHORITY (CONTO.) - Long List of Candidate Sites Durham, Peel and YorklMetro In re,!iewing proposals, under the Planning Act, staff request municipalities to designate valley and stream corridors as open space areas and to limit future encroachment by development into these areas, not only for public safety but also to ensure the integrity of the valley system as part of an ecosystem approach. Public projects - provincial, municipal, agency, board and commission - are subject to the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. The Authority is subject to the requirements of the Act for its own projects and is a commenting agency on the proposals of other public proponents. Provincial projects are not subject to the Authority's regulation; however, Authority interests can be identified through the Environmental Assessment process. As under the Planning Act, Authority comments are within the context of adopted policies, programs and projects. , The Authority is only one of numerous bodies that has commenting status under the Environmental Assessment Act. Provincial Ministries, affected municipalities and special purpose bodies, and the public are able to provide input to and comment on proposals under the Environmental Assessment Act. Each participant in the process has its own area of expertise and its own interests and concerns. The Minister of the Environment is charged with the responsibility of weighing all comments and deciding whether a proposal may proceed. The Minister's decision involves assessing all of the comments not only for the natural environment but also for the cultural, social, economic and community interests. The Environmental Assessment Act was established to make decisions where more than one interest had to be taken into consideration. One of its principles is to ensure the public participation. The Authority is requested to comment from its adopted policy and program perspective, not to attempt to weigh the interests of other areas of expertise. ISSUES All thirty sites within the Authority's area of jurisdiction fall within one or another of its nine watersheds. A number of these sites include lands registered for fill regulation under Ontario Regulation 293/86 and would be subject to the technical criteria used to administer the regulation. While many of the sites are not covered by registered Fill schedules, they do include tributary drainage areas and stream corridors. They would, therefore, be subject to the technical criteria for administration of the regulation speCific to building within an area subject to flood risk andlor alteration to a watercourse. Further, the Authority's 1991 Project for the Protection and Acquisition of Greenspace, defines those lands directly associated with the watershed systems as being necessary for the protection of environmental integrity. Those lands should not be considered suitable for sanitary landfill purposes. , None of the proposed sites includes an Environmentally Significant Area designated as a result of the Authority's 1982 Study. It has been proposed to update this study, commencing with a review of the designation criteria in 1992. The ESA Study is now ten years old and only looked at specific portions of the - Authority's'area of jurisdiction. 'Whether conditions on any of.the candidate sites would be suitable for designation is not known. One ofthe candidate sites, C-23 in the Region afPeel, includes land owned by the Authority. The Authority's 1989 position with respect to the use of its lands for sanitary landfill purposes has been identified to the IWA. The continuation of this position should be confirmed by the Authority. The draft Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program proposes future direction which would recognize the protection of the natural valley and stream corridors, from source to mouth, as necessary to the environmental health of the entire watershed. If endorsed and adopted, the program will better address the environmental aspects of watershed management which the Authority's Regulation, as a flood and erosion risk management tool, currently does not. At present, the draft program is in circulation for discussion. B-1 04 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/92, JULY 10, 1992 SECTION 11- ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 4:' . RECREATION FUNDING FORMULA STATUS REPORT This item was recommended for approval at Finance and Administration Advisory Board Meeting #2/92, June 12, 1992. KEY ISSUE This report fulfils the Authoritylg commitment to advise its member municipalities on the status of the funding formula for distribution of the municipal levy for conservation recreation purposes among the member municipalities. Res. #121 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Lois Hancey THAT the status report on funding formula, dated June 3, 1992, be received and referred to the Authority for information; AND FURTHER THAT this report be sent to the Regional Municipalities of Peel, York and Durham and The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto for information and comment, if any. CARRIED BACKGROUND Historv of the Fundina Formula At Meeting #2/88 of the Executive Committee, a special sub-committee was established to review and report on methods of sharing the cost of conservation recreation capital and operating costs among the Authority's member municipalities. The special committee met during 1988. The report of the special committee was presented to the Authority on December 2, 1988, approved by the Authority and referred to the Authority's member municipalities. The report recommended a revised funding arrangement, taking into account discounted equalized assessment I~ability to pay~) and visitor origin I~user pay~). Following discussions with member municipalities, there was general agreement and support for the funding formula with one notable exception. There was no agreement as to the time frame within which the new funding arrangement should be implemented. The Regional Municipalities of Peel and York determined that the phase-in periOd should be five years, while The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto insisted on no more than three years. The Regional Municipality of Durham accepted the three year phase-in. As a result, the Authority, at Meeting #1/89, held on April 25, 1989, adopted a resolution that the funding arrangements for the Regional Municipalities of Peel, York and Durham would be phased-in over five years and for The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, over a three year period. The variance between the three and five year phase-in was to be met by a special allocation from the Authority's Recreational Development and Restoration Reserve. The allocation of the levy for operating, maintenance and development for recreational purposes in 1992 was based on this .funding arrangement. 1993 represents the final year.of the funding formula phase-in period. Visitor Survev Data In calculating the original funding formula, visitor origin data was limited. Accordingly, it was agreed that each year the Authority would conduct statistically accurate visitor surveys and apply this newly gathered information to evaluate the degree to which the original funding formula was substantially reflected in more recent visitor statistical information. The Technical Appendix was distributed to the Authority and the member municipalities in December, 1988. The visitor origin information for the 1988 report was based on survey data from 1983 and 1986. To collect current information, a visitor survey program was developed by the Authority. Sampling began in January, 1989, and has continued since then. A sample is taken of all visitors .to Authority facilities except those who book their visits in advance, i.e., school groups, tour buses, weddings, etc. Sampling occurs at EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/92, JULY 10, 1992 B-l05 SECTION II . ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 4: . .. . RECREATION FUNDING FORMULA STATUS REPORT (CONTD.) each location provided that the location is open with staff on duty. Tests were conducted at the Kortright Centre and Black Creek Pioneer Village in December, 1988, to verify the study design, the method of administering the survey and to ensure that the questionnaires themselves would yield the desired results. Once the five year phase-in perrott -of the funding formula is' complete, the most recent three years data will be averaged and the resulting allocation used to calculate the following year's municipal levy allocation. Detailed background information on the visitor survey results is available. STATUS OF THE FUNDING FORMULA The funding formula was created to ensure that there was an equitable sharing of the operating costs of the Authority recreation program amongst its member municipalities. The Authority has traditionally used discounted equalized assessment as a base. Discounted equalized assessment can be said to represent the ability of a municipality to afford services provided or .ability to pay.. The Funding Formula Sub-Committee believed that greater attention needed to be paid to a .user pay. philosophy. Residents of a municipality who are users of Authority facilities, should pay in proportion to their use. The Funding Formula Sub-Committee looked at more than twenty variations of this .user pay. philosophy before arriving at what they felt was an equitable solution. The funding formula takes .the ability to pay. philosophy represented by equalized assessment and .user pay. approach represented by the origin of visitors and applies them in a way that shares the benefit derived from the various Authority facilities and the municipal levy cost associated with that benefit. A chart showing the funding formula as it was applied for the 1992 municipal levy with the projections to 1993 is available. At the end of 1992, the Authority will be in possession of three years of consistent and complete visitor survey data which will enable us, to project an average to evaluate the degree to which the 1994 proportionate factor accomplishes what the funding formula sub-committee intended. There will not be time to apply the three year floating average to 1993 because the levy must be in place early in the 1993 fiscal year. Staff continue to monitor the visitor survey data for significant variances from the original funding formula projections. If the most recent discounted equalized assessment data and the 1991 visitor origin information were applied, the funding formula methodology would have the following results which are consistent with the formula approved in 1989. Metropolitan Toronto would be at 60.9% versus 60.7%; Peel at 13.9% versus 16.3%; York at 21.8% versus 19.8% and Durham at 3.3% versus 3.2%. This compares favourably with the predictions of the funding formula as approved by the Authority. 5.

WILD WATER KINGDOM -Improvements to Facilities This item was recommended for approval at Conservation and Related Land Management Advisory Board Meeting #2/92, June 5, 1992. KEY ISSUE The Authority has been requested to assist Wild Water Kingdom with the paving of the parking lot. Res. #123 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Lois Hancey THAT the paving of the parking lot at Wild Water Kingdom be approved on the basis that the work is done and funded by Wild Water Kingdom; THAT Wild Water Kingdom guarantee that the percentage rent payable to the Authority for 1992 be at least the amount of the 1991 rent; THAT the project be approved on the basis that it be a demonstration of good storm watar management; THAT the project be approved subject to full site plan approval; THAT the parking lot paving be financed on the basis that any excass In the percantage rant for 1992 over 1991 payable to the Authority would be divided on a 50150 basis, with the Wild Watar Kingdom portion being credited to the cost of the parking lot; AND' FURTHER ,THAT the appropriate .Authorlty officials be authorized and directed to give effect thereto, including the execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND The paving of the parking lot at Wild Water Kingdom was considered at the time of..the oriQinal agreement but was not included in the approved plan of development. It was felt that it would add to the capital debt and debt service charge which could seriously impair the financial viability of the operation. . It has become evident that dust and potholes seriously detract from the first-class nature of the park. Staff recognize Wild Water Kingdom's rationale that these improvements do not directly produce any additional revenue.

There is need for further improvements to the conservation areas, Kortright Centre for Conservation and Black Creek Pioneer Village, and substantial portions of the future revenues have been committed'to finance the establishment of the Greater Toronto Region Trail System. The Authority must, at least, maintain the lease revenues. The proposal from Wild Water Kingdom (Appendix CR.1/92) is reasonable and provides a guarantee of the rent while improving the park. The base rent would il')crease in 1992 according to the Statistics Canada all-price index, as provided for in the agreement. Staff are not recommending any commitment for assistance in 1993. Any shortfall that may occur in 1992 can be requested in 1993. . 7. LAKE ONTARIO WATERFRONT REGENERATION PROJECT 1992.1994 -Colonel Samuel Smith Waterfront Park, City of Etobicoke KEY ISSUE To supply permanent power to Colonel Samuel Smith Waterfront Park. Res. #124 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Lois Hancey THAT staff be directed to pay the cost of $ 5 1 ,360 to Etobicoke Hydro for the supply of permanent power to the Colonel Samuel Smith Waterfront Park, City of Etobicoke. CARRIED BACKGROUND At its Meeting #3/92, the Authority approved the' award of Tender ED92-o1 for Phase I site servicing at Colonel Samuel Smith Park. Part A of the tender included the installation of a transformer pad, electrical switchboard, pull chambers and the underground concrete encased duct bank for the future high voltage electrical cables, as well as underground ducts for future low voltage cables to service the individual park users. This work is scheduled for completion by August 1, 1992. Because 'the -tender prices were less than our estimate, we can now proceed with the next phase of the proposed, 1992 development which is the installation of the high voltage cables and transformer by Etobicoke Hydro. Authority staff have had ongoing discussions with Etobicoke Hydro with regard to providing permanent power to the park. Etobicoke Hydro has completed their servicing design and have informed the Authority that they will supply and install the high voltage cables at a cost of $56,710 and supply and install a padmounted transformer at no further cost to the Authority. , B-l08 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/92, JULY 10, 1992 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 7. .'

OAK RIDGES MORAINE TECHNICAL WORKING COMMITTEE - Progress Report KEY ISSUE An update on the progress of the Oak Ridges Moraine Technical Working Committee. Res. #126 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Lois Hancey THAT the staff update on the work of the Oak Ridges Moraine Technical Working Committee be received. CARRIED BACKGROUND In June 1990, Ron Kanter, then MPP, submitted his report. A Greenlands Strategy for the Greater Toronto Area" to the Premier. In that report, it wa.s recommended that the Province carry out a land use planning exercise for the Oak Ridges Moraine and that while this was being prepared, interim planning guidelines be put in place for the review of any development proposals. The change in government, in September, 1990, and the need for the new government to familiarize itself with key issues and to address the impacts of the recession delayed action on the Kanter recommendations. In June '1'991, interim planning .guidelines .were released and a Technical Working Committee established. W. A. McLean has been the ,Authority's representative on the Committee and A. C. Deans his alternate. The Committee set out a work plan which included a number of background studies necessary to provide information that would result in a strategic plan for the Moraine. A Citizens Advisory Committee has yet to be established, however, it is anticipated to be in place in time to review the land use recommendations that will be made by the Technical Committee. .

CARRIED . BACKGROUND At Executive Committee Meeting #4/92 on June 12, 1992, the following resolution was passed: wRes. #1 05 IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the correspondence from the Town of Caledon, dated May 21, 1992, identifying the Council resolution of May 4, 1992, regarding subdivision approvals within the Oak Ridges Moraine be received and that staff be directed to report at Executive Committee Meeting #5/92, July 10, 1992. CARRIEDW On May 25, 1992, Authority staff received correspondence from the Town of Caledon which related to a resolution which was passed by Council. The resolution reads as follows: wWHEREAS the Province of Ontario determined some time ago that the Oak Ridges Moraine is an environmentally sensitive area requiring certain area wide studies before development continues; . AND WHEREAS the Province of Ontario just recently approved the funding and has retained a consultant to complete a hydrogeological study as part of the Moraine review; - ,'AND WHEREAS the Town of..Caledon .and the Region of Peel are aware of significant water quality, and' quantity problems on the Moraine in Caledon both for private wells and municipal .' systems; NOW THEREFORE the Planning Committee and Council of the Town of Caledon request the Ministry of Natural Resources, other related ministries, conservation authorities and the Region of Peel to take no action that would lead to draft plan approval of any plan of subdivision located on the Oak Ridges Moraine until the hydrogeological study has been completed and the results accepted by the Province of Ontario. CARRIEDw EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/92, JULY 10, 1992 B-lll SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 10. ' OAK RIDGES MORAINE (CONTD.) -Town of Caledon Council Resolution RATIONALE In July of 1990, the Province made an announcement of a general expression of provincial interest in land use planning on the Oak Ridges Moraine. The Minister of Natural Resources was directed to undertake a two-year land use study of the Moraine ,that-would guide future use and development. A component of the land use study which is currently under way by the Ministry of Natural Resources is the undertaking of comprehensive technical studies on subjects such as hydrogeology. In the interim, the Minister was also directed to prepare Planning Guidelines which would have the effect of protecting this important resource feature. In June, 1991, the Province released these guidelines, which apply to planning and development activities located Within the Oak Ridges Moraine area of the Greater Toronto Area. Plans of subdivision located in the Oak Ridges Moraine Area are subject to the Guidelines and before proceeding are first checked against the Fundamental Prerequisites as outlined in Section 6.2.3(d) of this document. These prerequisites relate to studies needed to address development occurring outside settlement areas, on permeable soils, within the catchment basin of a kettle lake or within significant natural areas. Staff from the Ministry of Natural Resources in conjunction with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs is responsible for assessing whether the application meets the Guideline requirements and advise the other review agencies. To this end, Authority staff do not make recommendations regarding proposed plans of subdivision until such time as Provincial Staff have advised whether the application can proceed. Authority staff then undertake a review of the application and provide comments on the basis of the Provincial Guidelines in addition to adopted Authority pOlicy, program and regulatory interests. In the interim, however, staff do provide general information related to Authority interests. Authority staff have consulted the Province with respect to the resolution passed by the Council of the Town of Caledon. While they have not formally received the resolution, they feel the recommended course of action is not in keeping with the intent of the Guidelines, and in effect would result in a development freeze. It is therefore recommended that the Authority continue to respond to subdivision applications on the basis of the Provincial Implementation Guidelines reporting further on this issue should further direction be provided by the Province. . 11.

Authority staff met with a representative of the company to review details and are satisfied with their proposal and capabilities. The tender received from Rutter Marine Service Ltd. included hourly equipment rental rates for dredging and temporary stockpiling of dredgeate on adjacent Metro Works lands. On reviewing the estimated total cost of dredging and disposal of material, it was determined that this proposal would have a higher unit cost and would require special approvals for trucking the material to the endikement cell at Tommy Thompson Park. Staff recommend the contract be awarded to Canadian Dredge and Dock Inc. based on their proposal being for the complete work at the lowest price received. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Canadian Dredge and Dock Inc. propose to utilize marine equipment comprising a crane on a barge, two dump scows and a tug boat. The loaded dump scows would be hauled to Tommy Thompson Park and the dredgeate disposed. of in Endikement Cell Two.

STATUS REPORT The Angus Glen Farm Golf Course proposal affects the Bruce Creek which is a tributary of the Rouge River and is regulated by the Authority pursuant to Ontario Regulation 293/86. To date, a permit application for the proposed golf course has not been received by staff. The Executive Committee has therefore not considered this proposal. The proposal is also within the proposed Rouge Valley Park north of Steeles Avenue and at Executive Committee Meeting #4/92, correspondence was received from the Minister of Natural Resources outlining related Rouge Valley Park Objectives. , B-114 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/92, JlJL Y 10, 1992 SECTJON II . ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 13. ANGUS GLEN FARM (CONTO.) -Proposed Golf Course Development, Lots 20, 21 and 22, Concession 5, Town of Markham, Rouge River Watershed The golf course proposal was initiated in 1987 and Authority staff has respond~d to various submissions relating to the proposal, including municipal development applications, MTRCA permit applications for specific works and concept development plans. A summary and status of these submissions is as follows: MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS In November. 1987. an application to rezone from Agricultural (A 1) to Open Space to permit a golf course was received by the Town of Markham. The valleyland was zoned at that time as Hazard Land (which permits golf course uses). The tableland was zoned Rural and A 1. Following review and discussion by staff, the Town was advised that Authority staff had no objections to the application. The requirement for Authority permits and associated concerns were identified. In 1991. the Town of Markham initiated a Natural Features Study and passed a Holding By-Law (55-91) for all valley lands within the Town pending the completion of their study. No Authority input was requested on the Holding By-Law. On June 2. 1992. a notice of public meeting scheduled that same day was received from the Town. The notice identified the intent to permit a golf course on the tableland portion of the property and further to remove the Holding By-law affecting the valleylands noting that the current zoning allows golf course uses. The notice advised that removal of the Holding By-Law would still require the application to proceed through normal development control processes. To this end, the Town of Markham was advised (correspondence dated June 2, 1992) that Authority staff had no objections and was again advised of MTRCA regulatory controls. Markham was also advised that staff were not able to finalize a recommendation for approval or refusal pursuant to Ontario Regulation 293/86 because of outstanding concerns and furthermore that Executive Committee consideration was required. ONTARIO REGULATION 293/86 On Mav 17. 1988, a permit (C-0699) was issued to Angus Glen Farm for the construction of three off-line ponds within the valley. The applicant advised t~at the ponds were associated with the proposed golf course or other uses, should the golf course not proceed. Discussions regarding the golf course as a whole formed part of the staff review. Permit C-0699 was renewed annually and was also revised in February, 1991. Staff review and respond to these types of administrative processes directly. In 1991, when considering the renewal and revision, staff advised.the applicant that the consideration. of .the golf course proposal, as a whole, was still subject to review. At Authority 112/91. held March' 22. 1991, ,staff-were directed to report to the Executive Committee Meeting to be held on April 5, 1991, on the matter of the renewal of Authority permits to Angus Glen Farm. The staff report outlining the nature of the permit revision and rationale for the renewal process was received for information and staff was further directed to report to the Executive Committee on Wthe need or otherwise for a review of the Conservation Authorities Act and Regulations with respect to Fill Permits, Renewal of Permits and Revocation of Permits.

ANGUS GLEN FARM (CONTD.) -Proposed Golf Course Development, Lots 20, 21 and 22, Concession 5, Town of Markham, Rouge River Watershed The report on this item has been combined with that of other Conservation Authorities Act review items and is currently being prepared by staff. In November. 1990, erosion control works were undertaken that did not form part of Permit C-0699. Staff pursued and resolved this infraction. CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT PLANS As noted, staff discussed the golf course proposal in relation to the above-noted applications from 1987 onwards. In July 1991, staff received a Master Plan and an Environmental Overview for the proposed golf course development. The Environmental Overview was thorough and did not identify obvious constraints to the proposal based on Authority programs and policies. The Master Plan, as submitted, presented several concerns related to MTRCA valley land management interests. A detailed report to the proponent was prepared by staff in December 1991. In March 1992, a revised submission was received. This submission has not addressed nor resolved several significant issues that would allow staff to finalize its review. Staff reported this to the proponent in June, 1992, and recommended a course of action to expedite a resolution to this proposal. The proponent was also requested to formalize the review process through the submission of a permit application pursuant to Ontario Regulation 293/86. In early Sorina. 1992, the owner of Angus Glen Farm requested Authority staff to prepare a stream rehabilitation plan for the Angus Glen Farm property. We referenced this request and identified a pOSSible course of action in our June, 1992, response. SUMMARY Staff comments on the Angus Glen Farm Golf Course proposal are based on Authority programs and policies for valleyland management. Review of the proposal is on-going and will require Executive Committee consideration should an application be received. , 14.

CARRIED BACKGROUND Metropolitan Toronto Council has expressed concern regarding funding of MTRCA projects on several occasions in recent years. As a result, direction was given to the Chief Admini~trative Officer of the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto to conduct a detailed review of MTRCA funding and make recommendations to Metropolitan Toronto Council. The report of the CAO was prepared early in 1992 and has been reviewed by a number of Metropolitan Toronto standing committees. The report and the recommendations contained therein were approved by the Council of the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto on July 2nd, 1992. ANALYSIS , At this time, it is appropriate that the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) and staff of the Authority commence discussions with the Regional Municipalities of Peel, York and Durham with respect to the proposed funding changes suggested by Metropolitan Toronto Council. In prior years, discussions of this nature have included the formation of a special committee of the Authority with representation from all of the member municipalities for the purpose of reviewing possible changes to the Authority's municipal funding arrangements. The Authority should consider again the formation of such a special committee. The CAO and staff of the Authority will report at the earliest opportunity to the Executive Committee with respect to discussions regarding the Metropolitan Toronto Report and make recommendations on the formation of a Special Committee on Municipal Funding Arrangements. In the interim, it is appropriate and necessary that the Metro Report be circulated widely and receive careful consideration by the staff of the various jurisdictions which may be affected by its recommendations. SUMMARY OF METRO TORONTO REPORT The following summarizes some of the key recommendations approved by Metropolitan Toronto Council: . essentially there are no changes recommended to the funding of the Authority's operating budget; . the Metro Report recommends continuation of the recreation formula with respect to recreation expenditures and that equalized .assessment continue to be. used as the basis for administration costs . ,as' provided for in the Conservation Authorities Act; · ..' " . the Metro Report makes significant recommendations for changes to capital projects, notably that the' capital projects should be consolidated u!'der three funding formulae; . a revised Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Project should be introduced wherein. Metropolitan Toronto would pay a maximum of 50% of the municipal share or 25% of the total cost; . there should be only one land acquisition project with lands on the Lake Ontario Waterfront being acquired under this project; EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/92, JULY 10, 1992 8-1 1 7 . SECTION II . ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 14. METRO TORONTO (CONTO.) -Report on MTRCA Funding . the Metropolitan Toronto Valley and Shoreline Regeneration Project (Erosion Control) should continue to be funded on a sole benefiting municipality basis as are all erosion control projects; . the Lake Ontario Waterfront Regeneration Project would be continued after 1994, the end of the current project, but would fund only development within the boundaries of Metropolitan Toronto and with any costs associated with acquisition being part of the Greenspace Acquisition Project; . development of park land throughout the MTRCA including park land on the Waterfront and park land inside and outside Metropolitan Toronto should be funded on the basis of sole benefiting municipality, Le, the municipality wherein the lands are located would be responsible for the development cost; . also, Metropolitan Council recommends the creation of the Technical A_dvisory Committee on Parks and Conservation (TAC PAC) to include the Metro Commissioners of Parks and Property and Planning and the Chief Administrative Officer of Metro and the Chief Administrative Officer of the MTRCA; the purpose of the committee being to coordinate activities of MTRCA and Metro Toronto with respect to valley land and Waterfront. . The Metropolitan Toronto CAO has done a very thorough review of the Authority's funding relationship with Metro Toronto. Staff of the Authority had an opportunity to provide input to this report. 15. 1993 BUDGET INFORMATION KEY ISSUE The Authority has been asked to respond to a request from the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto on actions necessary to achieve the 1993 Metro Budget Guideline.

CARRIED BACKGROUND Staff is in receipt of a number of communications from The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto relating to the Metro Toronto 1993 Budget process. Staff continue to respond to these requests as they have in previous years and to provide the information requested. B-ll 8 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/92, JULY 10, 1992 . SECTION II. ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 15.: . 1993 BUDGET INFORMATION (CONTO.) For example, in its 1993 Budget presentations, Metropolitan Council has requested that departments, agencies, boards and commissions present their budgets as much as possible on a program basis. The Conservation Authority's budget format is prepared on a program basis and will be consistent with the approach taken by Metropolitan Toronto. Also, Metropolitan Toronto has indicated that it intends to create a performance measurement system and has identified one or two departments as examples to be used during the 1993 Budget year. The Conservation Authority has used a program performance review system for a number of years and early in 1992 conducted a series of training seminars for staff in the development of performance indicators. Most recently, the Chief Administrative Officer of Metropolitan Toronto, in a letter dated June 12, 1992, requested that the MTRCA bring forward the program reductions that would be required in order to achieve a 1993 Metropolitan Operating Levy at the 1992 approved level and at 95% of the 1992 approved level. ANALYSIS The Authority's budget process begins in July of each year, with preparation of background material, project files and various meetings of staff to determine guidelines for the 1993 budget process. For the 1993 Budget, it is necessary that staff of the Authority have the preliminary estimates available for consideration by management on or before August 21, 1992. The Management Committee will meet on September 10, to consider the preliminary estimates which will be submitted to the Finance and Adminstration Advisory Board on October 2, 1992. , To respond to the Chief Administrative Officer of Metropolitan Toronto with detailed information concerning the Authority's approach to the 1993 budget is not possible at this time. Management and operating staff of the Authority involved in the preparation of budgets met on ThurSday, July 9, to consider the budget process, budget guidelines and program activities of the Authority in 1993. It is possible to outline for the Chief Administrative Officer of Metropolitan Toronto the position of the Authority staff with respect to the 1993 Budget process. ASSUMPTIONS In looking toward 1993 and 1994, Authority staff have considered a number of assumptions with respect to general economic activity in the Greater Toronto Region. It is assumed, for example that inflation will continue to be minimal, certainly less than 2% in each of the coming years. Currently, inflation in the Greater Toronto Region is running at less than 1 %. While low inflation has an impact on a small portion of the Authority's activities, much of the Authority's spending is driven by economic factors which ignore general inflation guidelines. For example, utility rates are predicted to grow at between 7% and 11 % in 1993. This appears to result from increases passed on to local utilities from Ontario Hydro. Property taxes have continued to exceed inflation,. again averaging more than 5%. In the past, the Authority has also experienced significant growth in statutory benefit costs such as unemployment insurance and Canada Pension. In .1993, it is anticipated that the Workers' Compensation Board rates will increase well beyond the rate of inflation. Authority staff are assuming that there. will be no significant growth in Provincial funding for the Conservation Authority. Provincial funding constitutes approxi'7lately 1/4 of the Authority's operating budget. Because the Provincial grants are announced in May of each year, it is extremely difficult for the Authority to accurately predict its funding from these sources nine months in advance. The Authority's own revenue sources from admissions, sales and gift shops, etc. constitute approximately one third of its total operating funding. The downturn in tourism has significantly affected Black Creek Pioneer Village and Authority staff hope for a modest improvement in 1993. Weather is always a factor in the Authority's conservation area operations making it difficult to predict revenue increases. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/92, JULY 10, 1992 B-119 . SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 15. 1993' BUDGET INFORMATION (CONTD.) 1993 BUDGET GUIDELINES Staff of the Authority have been advised that they are to prepare their budgets with the assumption that there will be nc;> new funding and therefore, the 1993 expenditure level must be held to the 1992 level. Achieving this will be difficult because some cost increases are beyond the control of staff with the result that reductions in program operations .ar~ necessary to achieve a .zero. - increase budget. Staff have been directed to identify those activities which are necessary to Authority operations but which may take spending beyond the 1992 level. It will then be possible to set priorities based on the program needs. Resulting reductions can be made in an orderly and reasonable fashion. As in past years, staff of the Authority continue to achieve efficiencies to help reduce expenditures and to improve operations generally so as to reduce operating costs. New revenue sources are constantly sought out and the Authority uses short term speCial project funding as much as possible to enable it to continue to provide service levels and necessary programming. In spite of the general efficiencies achieved, it is likely that further reductions in operations will be necessary to enable the Authority to hold its 1993 expenditure level at the 1992 level. The following are some of the options which will be presented to the Authority for consideration when the 1993 preliminary estimates are tabled. Details of the exact amount of expenditures are not available at this early stage in the Budget process. The Authority will continue to reduce hours' of operation as necessary to bring costs in line. The Authority has in the past taken the view that at a time of high unemployment in the Greater Toronto Region, it is important to maintain employment levels within the Authority and to avoid layoffs as much as possible. Accordingly, staff seek to reduce hours of employment as opposed to wholesale layoffs. For example, in 1989, the Authority produced some 860,481 hours of employment. In 1990 this had fallen to 818,880 hours and in 1991 to 788,753 hours. It is anticipated that similar reductions will continue in 1992 and 1993. The Authority would give consideration to postponing certain expenditures such as Keating Channel to enable the Authority to meet the Metropolitan Toronto spending guidelines. In 1992, reductions were achieved in the Authority's inter-regional outdoor recreation programs, communications and marketing programs and in the hours of operation of Black Creek Pioneer Village. CONCLUSION Until the Authority staff have had an opportunity to prepare their preliminary estimates, it is difficult to evaluate in dollar terms the exact impact of program operations of proposed reductions. The pattern in 1992 involving reduction in operating hours across the Authority's operating facilities while maintaining core and regulatory requirements of its programs will likely continue in 1993. 16. - .

" The Authority received a letter from the Ministry of Natural Resources dated July 17, 1992, advising that funding for the design and construction of remedial work to protect the existing residential development on Toronto Islands has been made available by the Province of Ontario. The Ministry of Natural Resources requests that The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority co-ordinate the studies, design and construction of the appropriate works. RATIONALE The staff report titled, "Toronto Islands Shoreline Hazard Review", identified that portions of the existing community are subject to hazards associated with flooding and erosion. The potential for long term shoreline erosion and the condition of existing protection works need to be carefully assessed. Additional protection works are required. The preparation of plans for additional residential development on the Toronto Islands, by the Province of Ontario, requires a careful assessment of flood and erosion risks and the Province of Ontario wants the necessary studies completed as soon as possible. The Authority is involved in shoreline management throughout its area of jurisdiction and has previously investigated parts of Toronto Island. The Authority is the appropriate body to coordinate a comprehensive study and remedial works. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Terms of reference for the design studies need to be prepared. One of the first technical investigations will be a survey of underwater slopes combined with assessment of the wave climate and prediction of erosion and flooding susceptibility. Planning and environmental considerations will be added to coastal engineering investigations and alternative design solutions will be developed. When the preferred design concept has been developed, detailed designs and construction drawings will be prepared. Tenders will be called for construction and the works will be implemented. Reports to the Authority seeking the necessary approvals will be made in accordance with the purchasing policy, budget preparation and annual work programs. Approval or exemption for the work under the Environmental Assessment Act and various other legislation, including the Navigable Waters Protection Act and the Toronto Harbour Commissioner By-Law 23, will be required.

FLOOD CONTROL PROGRAM -Black Creek Channel Major Maintenance Project KEY ISSUE To undertake major maintenance works to repair a section of the Black Creek Flood Control Channel, west of Jane Street in Smythe Park, in the City of York. Res. #144 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Lois Hancey IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT staff carry out the necessary repairs to the Black Creek Flood Control Channel in Smythe Park at an estimated cost of U6,000. CARRIED BACKGROUND This section of the Black Creek Flood Control Channel was built in 1959-1960 and extends from Weston Road through to the confluence with the Humber River. The channel is owned and maintained by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and the associated valley lands are operated and maintained by the City of York. On April 15, 1992, we received a report that a section of the Black Creek channel, west of Jane Street in Smythe Park had failed. We inspected the area immediately and found that the concrete channel, below the drop at the west end of the Jane Street culvert, had been broken and displaced exposing the crushed stone bedding. A large scour hole had developed and the concrete sides were collapsing into the scour hole. In addition, the granular stone drainage material had filled the low flow channel for approximately 100m downstream. The continued high flows through April and early May prevented us from fully assessing the scope of the problem. On May 8, 1992, we inspected the site with the assistance of M.LE. Limited who prepared the following brief inspection report. M.LE. REPORT Immediately downstream of the Jane Street culvert over a distance of approximately 30m, the base of the concrete channel has been broken and displaced, exposing the crushed stone bedding and the subsoil throughout to a depth varying from less than a meter to almost 2m. At the downstream end of this hole, the bedding material has been dislodged from beneath the concrete pavement to a depth of about 3m measured along the centre line of the channel. This concrete slab is vulnerable and its destruction can be anticipated in the near future. A similar situation is developing at the upstream end of the basin where the bedding material has also been eroded over a distance of about 3m under the concrete pavement. Here the situation is more critical because the loss of this slab will jeopardize the integrity of the drop structure as well as the Jane Street embankment. Along the flanks of the channel, the concrete paving has collapsed into the cavities beneath and the broken pieces have slid or are sliding down the bank and into the hole. The erosion of the channel at this location is a serious problem and in need of immediate attention. Without remedial work, it will continue to expand destroying more of the existing channel lining and jeopardize the stability of the adjacent road embankment. In its present condition it is a very significant public hazard due to the depth of the water and the jumble of broken concrete in the bottom particularly because of the number of unsupervised children frequenting the area. As a result, staff is recommending that the repair works be carried out as soon as possible. , . B-136 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/92, AUGUST 7, 1992 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 7. FLOOD CONTROL PROGRAM (CONTD.) -Black Creek Channel Major Maintenance Project DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Our consultant has recommended that armour stone be placed in the scour hole to prevent further deepening of the channel bottom. Armour stone is also recommended for replacing the concrete lining on the banks. Further expansion of the scour hole upstream under the drop and downstream under the channel lining will be prevented through the installation of sheet piling cut off walls. The estimated cost to carry out the repairs is as follows: (1 ) Site and access preparation (construct temporary ramp) $ 5,000 (2) Concrete cutting $ 3,000 (3) Sheet piling and grouting $ 30,000 (4) Armour stone placement $ 40,000 (5) Clean out of granular base $ 5,000 (6) Restoration in park $ 4,000 (7) Contingencies approximately 10% $ 9.000 Total $ 96.000 FINANCIAL DETAILS The Black Creek Channel Major Maintenance Project was not included in the 1992 budget, however, because of the urgency associated with the project, staff are recommending the works be carried out this year. In preparation for this, staff have submitted a project file to the Ministry of Natural Resources for technical and funding consideration. The Ministry of Natural Resources has ranked this project very high and have advised they will provide regular grant. The municipal levy will be raised through levies on hand. 8. BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE -Christmas Sponsorship by Hongkong Bank of Canada KEY ISSUE Hongkong Bank of Canada has contacted Black Creek Pioneer Village (BCPV) about sponsoring up to two weeks free admission during Christmas, 1992, and assisting BCPV to increase membership support. Res. #145 Moved by: Brian Harrison SecOnded by: Lois Hancey IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT staff develop with the Hongkong Bank of Canada a Christmas sponsorship program for up to two weeks in 1992. CARRIED EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE '6/92, AUGUST 7, 1992 B-137 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 8. BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE -Christmas Sponsorship by Hongkong Bank of Canada . BACKGROUND Hongkong Bank of Canada is interested in contributing to the Canadian cultural sector through a special sponsorship initiative. They propose to assist three select cultural institutions across Canada (in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal) by sponsoring free admission for a limited period at Christmas. In conjunction with offering free admission, their objectives are to encourage new audiences to visit and to build support by promoting purchase of memberships. Hongkong Bank of Canada has approached Black Creek Pioneer Village as their Toronto choice, the Vancouver Maritime Museum, and the McCord Museum in Montreal. The bank is interested in providing the following: reimbursement to BCPV for regular or normal gate receipts for the periOd promotion in the form of full page ads in Toronto's major newspapers promotion in the 15 Toronto Branches of Hongkong Bank of Canada incentive draws for purchasers of memberships during the promotiO[l BCPV would provide free admission during the identified periOd and acknowledgement of the Hongkong Bank of Canada in the Visitors Centre. The Hongkong Bank of Canada believes that by acting as a catalyst in this initiative, it can stimulate public appreciation for heritage and help our institution secure and strengthen our local base of support. OETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Once the Hongkong Bank of Canada has established the total budget for the initiative, staff of BCPV, Program Services, and senior management at the Bank will work out the program details, including length of the promotion, paid advertising, communications plan, and execution plan. FUTURE BENEFITS BCPV will receive short and long term benefits which it could not otherwise achieve. In the short term, BCPV will increase visitation, possibly substantially, in a year in which visitation is down due to poor weather and continuing recession. With the guarantee of normal attendance revenues, the free publicity, and the free admission, BCPV has the opportunity to attract non-users as well as repeat visitors, to generate increased revenues at food and sales outlets, and to appeal to a larger user market to become members. The long term benefits include broadening the base of member support, increasing the number of repeat visitors for this program, heightened awareness of BCPV, and greater ability to attract new corporate sponsors. As well, there is the potential of continuing this initiative andlor developing others with Hongkong Bank of Canada, which has a particular interest in investing in heritage institutions. FINANCIAL OET AILS BCPV would incur no additional costs to the Christmas program, other than sponsor aCknowledgement pieces for the Visitors Centre. BCPV projects general admission revenues of $133,000 for the full 7 week Christmas program. The last two weeks of the program are projected to generate $26,000 and $21,000 respectively. Hongkong Bank of Canada will present a Cheque to BCPV equal to the general admission revenues for the selected free period. Promotion of free admission, which would be scheduled one or two days in advance of the free period, would minimize loss of admission revenues of visitors holding off visiting prior to the free period.

This proposal is required to develop the necessary background information for a long term land use strategy for the Oak Ridges Moraine. On July 26, 1990, the government announced its intent to initiate a comprehensive planning study of the Oak Ridges Moraine to develop a long term strategy for its protection and management. During the interim, provincial interest in the moraine was expressed and interim planning guidelines were released to guide development on the moraine. The Planning Study will examine the impact of development and land use practices within the Oak Ridges Moraine and will provide long term direction to municipalities and other government agencies recognizing the significance and sensitivity of the moraine. At the time the Planning Study was announced, the government also indicated its commitment to investigate the feasibility of a community-based trail system for the Moraine area. In response to this commitment, the Oak Ridges Moraine Technical Working Committee identified the need for a background study to explore this issue in its work plan. The study area shall comprise the Oak Ridges Moraine Area as defined by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) within the GTA. However, it should be recognized that the alignment and location of trails outside the Oak Ridges Moraine Area will influence the Trails Strategy (i.e., the Ganaraska Trail). The study will: . collect. analyze and integrate all relevant information on existing and proposed trails on the Oak Ridges Moraine; . identify and delineate conceptual corridors for an Oak Ridges Moraine Trails system; and B-1 40 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/92, AUGUST 7, 1992 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 10.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE '7/92, SEPTEMBER 11, 1992 B-154 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 3. SALE OF SURPlUS AUTHORITY LAND (CONTD.I -North East Corner of Jane Street and Steeles Avenue, City of Vaughan On January 10, 1992, at Meeting 9/91, Resolution #298 was adopted, which read as follows; -Res. #298 THAT staff be directed to return the deposits received from the three proponents who submitted proposals of -Expression of Interest- and advise them that no proposals have been selected for further consideration at this time; THAT staff be directed to continue to negotiate with all interested parties until such time as an acceptable proposal is received whereupon it is to be referred to the Members of the Executive Committee for consideration; : AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to take the necessary action to have the'lands removed from the Parkway Belt West at the earliest possible date. CARRIED" In accordance with the direction of the Members of the Authority, discussions have continued with the three original parties as well as additional interested parties. Staff have also met with officials of The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and officials of the City of Vaughan, with respect to development opportunities for this site, as well as attempting to have the land removed from the Parkway Belt West Plan, at the earliest possible date. In discussions with public officials, it again appears obvious that the Authority will be required to have a development partner with a specific development plan, in order to expeditiously have the land removed from the parkway belt regulations. During the past several months, staff have been carrying on discussions with representatives of 970545 Ontario Limited, in an attempt to negotiate a mutually beneficial arrangement with respect to removal of the lands from the Parkway Belt, sale of the land and renovations and additions to the Authority's administrative headquarters at 5 Shoreham Road. A tentative arrangement is currently at hand, the terms of which are set out in the non-binding Letter of Intent. A copy of draft conceptual drawing by Spectra Architects Inc. was available at the meeting. The representatives of the prospective purchaser include Mr. Nick DiLorenzo (contractor developer), Joe Salvatore (Architect, Spectra Architects Inc.1 and Chris Godfrey, (Solicitor). The arrangements as proposed in the Letter of Intent, provide for the plans for the renovations and additions to the Authority's administrative headquarters to be developed without any upfront cash payment required by the Authority. These costs are to be deducted from the purchase price of the lands when sold to the purchaser. RATIONALE The disposition of the parcel at the north east corner of Jane Street and Steeles Avenue, which has already received extensive public input, would appear to be the most likely funding option open to the Authority at this time to carry out the much needed repairs, renovations and extension to the administrative headquarters. The Province of Ontario, since the inception of the current Revenue Sharing Policy, has on at least two occasions, allowed other Conservation Authorities to utilize Revenue Sharing Funds to be used for construction of administrative headquarters facilities. , . B-155 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 117/92, SEPTEMBER 11, 1992 SECTION I . ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CON SID ERA TION 3. SALE OF SURPLUS AUTHORITY LAND (CONTD.I -North East Comer of Jane Street and Steeles Avenue, City of Vaughan The land at Jane Street and Steeles Avenue was fully serviced without cost to the Authority when the adjoining properties were developed. It would be advantageous to the Authority in attempting to have the Authority land removed from the Parkway Belt to have a speCific proposal such as the proposal currently at hand from 970545 Ontario Limited. The provincial review of the removal will be influenced by municipal considerations, which will be accommodated under the purchasers proposed submission regarding re-zoning, official plan amendments, site plan approval, etc. The construc~ion generated by the proposed development at Jane and Steeles and the repairs, renovations and extension to the administrative headquarters will generate substantial employment opportunities in the construction ~rades. . While real estate activity in the Greater Toronto Area is below levels of the earlier peak years, there is no way of predicting when the prices of the peak years will return. The current downturn in the economy will allow the Authority to obtain favourable construction prices for the work required to be carried out. It is anticipated that the sale proceeds will be adequate to fund the repairs, renovations and addition required. The Authority has ongoing renovation and maintenance problems at the existing headquarters office, which can only be a!leviated by a major expenditure. Old portable classroom structures, a trailer and off site locations, are currently being used to accommodate office space and storage requirements, but are less than satisfactory for many reasons. The arrangement as proposed allows the Authority to obtain for the land a price equal to that for land outside the Parkway Belt as well as arrange for removal of the lands from the Parkway Belt and proceed with the preparation of plans for the required repairs, renovations and addition at 5 Shoreham Drive. WORK TO BE CARRIED OUT It will be necessary for Authority staff, in conjunction with the Authority's solicitor, to arrange for a final Agreement of Purchase and Sale to be prepared based on the contents of the Letter of Intent and executed by the parties on or before October 30, 1992. In accordance, with the provisions of the Conservation Authorities Act, it will be necessary to obtain the approval of the Minister of Natural Resources and the Provincial Cabinet. It will also be necessary for the Provincial Government to agree to allow the Authority to utilize the Provincial share of the proceeds from the disposition for the carrying out of other Authority approved projects. . Authority staff will be required to initiate formal applications at the expense of the purChaser to the Parkway Belt Representatives of the Pro,vinCial Government for removal of the lands from the Parkway Belt designation. At such time as substantial progress is made with respect to the purchaser's applications for rezoning, official plan amendment and site plan approval, it will be necessary for the Authority to appoint a 4 person committee as identified in the Letter of Intent, to represent the Authority with respect to the development of the plans required to be carried out concerning renovations and addition to the existing administrative headquarters at 5 Shoreham Drive. The development of the plans will be done with the input and approval of the Executive Committee and full Authority. While the cost of the plans for the Authority is being funded upfront by the Purchaser, the contract for construction will be handled in accordance with the Authority's regular purchasing pOlicies with a public tender call.

SALE OF SURPLUS AUTHORITY LAND (CONTD.I -North East Corner of Jane Street and Steeles Avenue, City of Vaughan FINANCIAL DETAILS It is proposed that the proceeds from the sale be utilized to finance the required renovations and extension to the administrative headquarters at 5 Shoreham Drive. The purchaser will be providing up front financing to the Authority to have the lands removed from the Parkway Belt and proceed with required studies, design and architectural work needed to ultimately proceed with the renovations and the extension.

LESLIE STREET EXTENSION AND BA YVIEW EXTENSION WIDENING (CONTD.I BACKGROUND The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto has proposed a project to extend Leslie'Street south from Eglinton Avenue and to widen the Bayview Extension from north of Pottery Road to Bloor Street. The Authority has previously commented on this project: January 1972/December 1973: Approval in principle subject to the detailed proposal addressing flood and erosion control concerns; April, 1977: As a part of its response to the -Metropolitan Arterial Roads Report-, the Authority requested the opportunity to comment on these proposals, at all stages of detailed plan preparation, as they affect erosion control, flood control and the general conservation of land; December 1986: In response to the circulation of the draft Environmental Assessment Report, staff indicated that the recommended route was the Authority's preferred alternative as it was the one in which the roadway least impacted the valley; however, there were components which would require permits under Ontario Regulation 293/86 and further technical details were required in support of the project; January 1990: In response to a request from Metropolitan Toronto to the Authority with respect to the Consolidated Hearing. In this connection, the Executive Committee, at its meeting #15/89 held January 26,1990, took the following action: -THAT the request of Metropolitan Toronto for agreement to have the interests of the Authority, under the Conservation Authorities Act and Ontario Regulation 293/86 with respect to the Leslie Street Extension and the Bayview Extension Widening, form part of a Joint Board Hearing, be received; THAT staff be directed to advise Metropolitan Toronto that the Authority agrees, in principle, to have its interests addressed as part of a Joint Board Hearing: THAT staff be directed to discuss with Metropolitan Toronto how the Authority's regulatory requirements can be addressed within this process; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to determine whether the Authority can be a part-time party to the Hearing in order to limit attendance to those sessions addressing the interests of the Authority.- November 1990: To the Ministry of the Environment in response to the circulation of the Environmental Assessment Report, identifying the outstanding concerns with respect to the level of detail in the report and the need for further studies and design details related to those components , requiring Authority permits; June and August 1992: To Metropolitan staff and their consultants to clarify outstanding issues related to the project in advance of the commencement of the Joint Board Hearing. The outstanding issues from the Authority's per,spective are related to the permits required under the regulation; the Authority owned lands that will be affected by the project; and the potential im'pacts on the Don Watershed system. B-' 63 EX/=CUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/92, SEPTEMBER 11, , 992 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 10. LESUE STREET EXTENSION AND BA YVIEW EXTENSION WIDENING (CONTD.I PROPOSED WORKS AND IMPACT ON AUTHORITY INTERESTS A display map, showing the relationship of the project to Authority interests was available at the meeting. The project can be divided into the following components for discussion of Authority interests: Comoonent 1: New Crossina of the West Don River Descriotion: The project proposes a new bridge to span the West Branch of the Don immediately south of Eglinton, rising to the south from the intersection of Eglinton and Leslie, then cutting into the southern bank just north of the. CP rail tracks to pass into a tunnel under the tracks and Wicksteed Avenue. Authoritv Interests: A permit under Ontario Regulation 293/86 is required for the new crossing and associated works. Detailed studies and design are yet to be undertaken and must address Authority requirements for flood and erosion control; sediment control during and after construction; site restoration; and maintenance of the park and trail uses within the valley. The latter would be in conjunction with the Metropolitan Parks and Property Department. . Authority lands are affected by this component and agreements for easements or sale would be required. Comoonent 2: CP Rail Crossina to Millwood Road Descriotion: The project proposes to parallel the CP Rail tracks and to improve access to Thorncliffe Park by way of a new connection between Commercial Road/lndustrial Street and Thorncliffe Park Drive. Authoritv Interests: The Walmsley Brook Ravine, in the vicinity of the proposed new intersection, is not within the regulated area; however, it is our practice, on all road projects, to request sediment control measures to ensure that disturbed material is not carried into tributaries, in order to protect the river system. This requirement would be requested throughout the project as all surface drainage would eventually reach the Don River. Comoonent 3: Millwood Road to Bavview Avenue Descriotion: Within this section the roadway continues to parallel the rail tracks and is adjacent to the top of the valley wall above the North Toro.nto Sewage Treatment Plant and the former Bayview Landfill. Authority Interests: Permits under Ontario Regulation 293/86 will be required in this section to ensure Slope stability. The Authority's preference would be for the roadway to be set back from the top of slope so that structural measures are not required to ensure slope stability. Geotechnical studies will be required ,to determine slope stability and the measures necessary to ensure future stability. Authority property, at the former Bayview Landfill Site, is affected by this component. Comoonent 4: Bavview Avenue Widenina Descriotion: The roadway will have directional ramps linking it to the current alignment of the Bayview Extension immediately south of the rail tracks. The Bayview Extension will be widened from four to six lanes from this point south to the BloorlDanforth interchange. Due to the steep slope9 on the easterly side of the existing Bayview Extension, the centre line will be shifted to the west and property required, on the west side to accommodate the widening. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE '7/92, SEPTEMBER 11, 1992 B-' 64 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 10. LESUE STREET EXTENSION AND BA YVIEW EXTENSION WIDENING (CONTD.I Authoritv Interests: A permit will be required for the works undertaken within this section as the roadway is within the regulated area and includes that portion of the Bayview Extension, adjacent to the former Toronto Brickyard, which is subject to flooding on a frequent basis. When existing municipal infrastructure, within the regulated area, is proposed for upgrading/reconstruction, it is Authority practice to ensure that the flood or erosion hazard is not increased. If possible, a reduced level of risk is achieved. At present, the proposal is to maintain the existing grades on this section of the roadway. As a part of the further studies required to proceed to detailed design, staff has requested that consideration be given to measures which might assist in reducing the frequency of road closure due to flooding. Authority property is affected by this component. ComDonent 5: BloorlDanforth Interchanoe DescriDtion: Ramps are to be provided to facilitate movement between Bayview Avenue, the Don Valley Parkway and Bloor Street. Authoritv Interests: The design of the ramps for the reconfigured intersection requires a permit under Ontario Regulation 293/86. The intersection is within the regulated area and the work associated with the ramps is within the floodplain. As throughout, detailed studies and design have yet to be prepared for the intersection. RATIONALE The Authority has specific interests under Ontario Regulation 293/86 and has identified these to Metropolitan staff and their consultants during the process that has resulted in the Environmental Assessment Report. The Authority also has interests as an affected property owner. While these Authority lands are under management agreement with Metropolitan Toronto, the agreement is with the Parks and Property Department specifically for parks and conservation use. Since completion of the Environmental Assessment Report, the Authority has undertaken two initiatives which may be affected by this project; the establishment of the Don Watershed Task Force and the circulation of the draft Valley and Stream Corridor Program. Authority staff have discussed participation in the Consolidated Hearing with Gardiner, Roberts and have been advised that there are three alternatives: to request the Joint Board not to include the Conservation Authorities Act and Ontario Regulation 293/86 with those matters being dealt with at the Hearing; or to request party status at the Hearing and that the components of the project affecting Authority interests be required to proceed to further studies and detailed design to fulfil the requirements of Ontario Regulation 293/86 and to enable the issuing of permits; or to request part-time party status and that the interests of the Authority be dealt with by the Joint Board, including the preparation of detailed engineering design, after their consideration of all other matters. It is our opinion that the Authority should be represented at the Consolidated Hearing in order to ensure its interests. . Participation as a part-time party is recommended to minimize the cost to the Authority. Given the other issues to be resolved, it would be preferable to have the technical issues related to the Authority's interests dealt with at the end of the Hearing. This would require Metropolitan Toronto to proceed to further study and final design only after the other approvals required for this project have been dealt with by the Board. . .

UNITED WAY OF GREATER TORONTO 1992 CAMPAIGN KEY ISSUE Report on the Authority's participation in the 1992 United Way Campaign. Res. #164 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Jim Witty THAT THE report, dated Septernb~ 3, 1992, on the Authority's participation in the 1992 United Way Campaign be received; CARRIED BACKGROUND The Authority has been approached by the United Way to participate in the 1992 campaign. While the'main thrust of the program is the payroll deduction plan, staff will be asked to participate in several fund-raising activities, Le., .dress-down days.. Staff volunteers will coordinate these activities. The payroll deduction plan allows staff to direct donations to a specific United Way member charity, a group of related charities, Le., health field, or to non-United Way charities including the Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto. Further, although we will be affiliated with the United Way of Greater Toronto, staff will have the option of directing donations to the chapter of their choice, i.e. in Peel, York or Durham. The distribution of funds will be handled by the United Way based on the wishes of the donors as expressed on donor cards. Employee/member partiCipation is strictly optional. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The accounting system can accommodate the bi-weekly deductions. Direct costs, excluding labour, will be negligible. . 11.

THE MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO REPORT ON THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY FUNDING KEY ISSUE At its meeting #5/92, held July 10, 1992, the Executive Committee had before it a report from the Council of The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, recommending changes in the funding formula used by the Authority for some of its projects. The Executive Committee, by Resolution # 131, directed the Chief Administrative Officer to commence discussions with staff of the Regional Municipalities of Peel, York and Durham with respect to The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto report on The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority funding and report to the Executive Committee at the earliest opportunity on further action required by the Authority in this connection. Res. #173 Moved by: Lorna Jackson Seconded by: Brian Harrison THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Resolution #99/91, adopted at meeting #3191 held May 3,1991, approving t~e Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Project 1992-1996, be rescinded; THA T the Staff be directed to prepare a revised Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Project, in consultation with Authority member municipalities, the project to address the role and requirements of the Authority and the municipalities in 9reenspace protection and acquisition; the level of funding appropriate to acquisition requirements and the financial ability of the funding partners to participate; and the funding proposals of Metropolitan Toronto; THAT,the Chair name a committee of members, ensuring representation from all member municipalities, to consider the recommendations made by staff and to make recommendations thereon to the Authority; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to prepare an analysis of land acquisition over the past five years as background information to the proposed project, to Include properties acquired and the funding sources for the acquisitions. CARRIED BACKGROUND The MuniCipality of Metropolitan Toronto Council has expressed concern regarding funding of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority projects on several occasions in recent years. As a result, direction was given to the Chief Administrative Officer of The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto to conduct a detailed review of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority funding and make recommendations to The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Council. The report of the Chief Administrative Officer was prepared early in 1992 and was reViewed by a number of Metropolitan Toronto standing committees. The report and the recommendations contained therein was adopted by The Munlcipalilty of Metropolitan Toronto on July 2 and 3, 1992. As directed, the Authority's Chief Administrative Officer has distributed the Metro report to the staff of the Regional Municipalities and has held preliminary diSCUSSions with the Regional Chief Administrative officers respecting the key recommendations in the Metro report, which are: revise the Greenspace Protection and ACQUisition Project to prOVide that Metropolitan Toronto would pay a maximum of 50% of the muniCipal share, or 25% of the total cost; EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/92, OCTOBER 9, 1992 8-182 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 4. THE MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO REPORT ON THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY FUNDING (CONTD.I have only. one acquisition project, which would include, waterfront, valley, headwater and sensitive area acquisitions; after 1994, Metropolitan Toronto contributions to the Waterfront Regeneration Project would be limited to undertakings within the boundaries of Metropolitan Toronto; the Conservation Area recreation funding formula negotiated in 1988, would remain in place for existing conservation area development and operations. Park development would be funded on the basis of the municipality in which the park is located being solely responsible for the municipal share of the development cost. The Authority, by Resolution #99/91, at its meeting #3/91, held May 3, 1991, approved the five year Greenspace Protection and AcqUisition Project 1992-1996: "Res. #99 THA T the Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Project 1992-1996, proposing annual funding of $5,000,000 be approved; THA T the Regional Municipalities of Peel, York, Durham, The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, and the Townships of Adjala and Mono be designated as the benefiting mUniCipalities on the baSIS s~t forth In the project; THA T the Province of Ontario be requested to approve the prOject and a grant of 50% of the cost thereof; THA T pursuant to Section 24 of the Conservation Authorities Act, approval of the Ontario Municipal Board be requested; AND FURTHER THAT when approved, the appropriate Authority offiCials be authorized to take whatever action IS reqUired In connection with the proJect, Including the execution of any documents. CARRIED" Due to the requested review of the funding formulas by The MUnicipality of Metropolitan Toronto, the only project which is affected at this time IS the Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Project. Other capital projects which have been approved; i.e., the Waterfront ProJect, will continue on the basis of the approved funding arrangements and time frames contained in these projects. Since the Acquisition Project has not been approved other than by the Authority and, in view of a revised funding formula being developed for this project, it would be appropriate to rescind Resolution #99/91. ThiS would officially terminate the Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Project 1992-1996. This would allow staff to write a new project, once agreement on a new cost sharing formula has been achieved. To allow staff to continue to purchase lands In the interim, using revenues obtained from land sales or otherwise, the Ministry of Natural Resources has agreed to allow us to utilize the ProvinCial approval of the last AcqUISition Project 1987-1991 until such time as a new project IS developed and approved.

THE MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO REPORT ON THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY FUNDING (CONTD.I ANAL YSIS . As a result of diSCUSSIOns with the Chief Administrative Officers, some relevant observations should be made: the Authority's funding IS complicated and is not well understood in the municipalities, at the staff and the pOlitical levels. In any revision to our funding arrangements, a clear rationale, conSistency, and consolidation of projects will be important; an analysis should be prepared, for the information of the municipalities, of the land acquisitions made over the past five years and how they were funded; successful management of the issue will require a process to which all mUnicipalities are a party; the Greenspace Protection and AcquiSition Project requires first attention, because the Authority is currently without an acquisition project. The current version of the project should be set aside and a revised project developed. There should be a joint planning effort with the municipalities to ensure that the project addresses greenspace protection and acquisition in a way that is sensitive to agreed on roles and requirements of both the Authority and the municipalities. ThiS will be prerequisite to agreeing on a SUitable funding formula; a discussion process similar to that used for developing the recreation formula (staff discussion at the Chief Administrative Officer level and a committee of Authority members representing the member municipalitiesl would be appropriate. 5.

CARRIED BACKGROUND Ontario Hydro is presently offering a rebate in excess of 50% of the cost to all companies who are Interested in converting their present lighting system over to an energy efficient lighting system. To be eligible for the rebate from Ontario Hydro an independent company carries out an analysis of the present lighting system and its usage to determine which lighting system would continue to prOVide the client With the . .

HEAD OFFICE LIGHTING (CONTD.I required amount of lighting and meet the demands of the client, while at the same time reduce the energy costs. Once they have established the energy efficient lighting project best suited to the client; the project is presented to Ontario Hydro In order that they can carry out their audit to verify the recommendations. An application is submitted to Ontario Hydro and once it is approved the installation can commence. The resulting benefits from this change over are reduced energy costs, reduced capital costs through the Ontario Rebate Program, reduced operating costs, together with reduced maintenance costs and air- conditioning costs. The substantial portion of the savings relates to the four tube fluorescent fixtures. These fixtures contain four fluorescent tubes and two ballasts and would be replaced by a two tube one ballast system with a reflector which cuts the cost of operating the fixture by half. Also included in the conversion will be the use of new energy effiCient fluorescent tube and electronic ballasts which bring the total cost of operating the fixture to about 1/3 of the present cost. With the use of the reflector the retrofitting of these fixtures Will not reduce the amount of light available in the office. Not only does the new fluorescent lighting prOVide cost savings they also provide a better quality of light. The basIs used for measuring quality of the light is the colour rendering index (CAI). This index IS a scale of 100. with Incandlescent lighting as the POint of reference. The present cool white fluorescent lighting used in the office has a CAI of 62. The proposed lighting has a CAI of 85. As a general rule the higher the CAI of a light source the more true-to-life the appearance of anything seen in that light. FINANCIAL DETAILS The Authority requested that two companies provide proposals for retrofitting the lighting in the office and the following is a break down of the proposals: Company Aetrolight Technology Limited Trico Ltd. Total Cost $33,544.50 $34,475.00 G.S.T. 2.348.12 2.413.25 Total $35,892.62 $36,888.25 Less Hydro Aebate $22.121.00 $18.616.50 Net Cost to Authority $13,771.62 $18,271.75 Make of Lamps Philips Osram Make of Ballasts Osram Osram or Magnepek Attached are copies of both proposals for your information. You will note from a review of these proposals that the amount of savings vanes. With Just the retrofitting of the fixtures in the office the savings In hydro costs will be approximately $16,700. per year. Another component of the retrofit will be a reconfiguration of the lighting to allow for only those fixtures reqUired to maintain adequate security in the office to remain on at night the remaining lights would be turned off. ThiS additional work has a potential to Increase the savings to approximately $20,000. Aetrollght Technology Limited retrofitted Kortright Centre for Conservation In January of 1992 and they are now saving approximately $500. per month on hydro. Aetrolight Technology Limited has also retrofitted or IS in the process of retrofitting Lake St. George, Claremont and Albion Hills Field Centres. It is estimated that the Authority's net investment will be paid back within 10 months from savings in hydro costs.

AMENDMENT Moved by: Lois Hancey Res. #180 Seconded by: Brian Harrison THA T the Town of Pickering and the Regional Municipality of Durham be requested to support the staff recommendation for the protection of the Altona Forest Environmentally Significant Area based on the boundaries referenced in Authority staff correspondence to the Town of Pickering, dated September 17, 1992. THE AMENDMENT WAS ................................................... CARRIED THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .CARRIED BACKGROUND The proposed Pickering District Plan Amendment #79 refers to the Highbush Community Plan which IS a 130 hectare block of land bounded to the north by the Hydro Corridor; the east by Rosebank Road; the west by Altona Road; and the south by the Canadian National Railway. There are nine owners with lands proposed for development. Bramalea Limited owns the major land holding. Authority interests affected by this proposed amendment relate to the valley and stream corridors of the Petticoat Creek and its tributaries, flood plains, the Altona Forest ESA and storm water management, both quantity and erosion control. The land use schedule of the proposed OPA application identifies the retention of the well-defined valleys of the Petticoat Creek and its main tributary, which encompasses flood plain lands; however, it identifies only 19 of the 48 hectares of the Altona Forest to remain as Open Space. The AuthOrity identified the Altona Forest as an Environmentally Significant Area in its 1982 ESA Study Report. Although a policy to prohibit development within identified ESA'S was not adopted, it was the objective of the Authority to protect these areas from development that would result In the loss of their environmental Significance In co-operation With Its mUniCipal and prOVincial partners. In this regard, the recent approval of OPA #79 by Pickering Council may Impact the Authority's Objectives for the protection and management of the Altona Forest ESA. CHRONOLOGY The Highbush Community Plan was approved by the Ministry of MuniCipal Affairs in October of 1982. Authority staff comments prior to MMA's approval did not identify conflicting program objectives since the Authority ESA Report had not yet been adopted. B-189 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/92, OCTOBER 9, 1992 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 9. PROPOSED OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT #79, TOWN OF PICKERING (CONTD.I -Altona Forest ESA, (Highbush Community Plan). Petticoat Creek Watershed Amendments to the plan were Circulated for comment by the Town of Pickering Planning Staff in May of 1989. With the growing concern surrounding the significance of the Altona Forest ESA, an Environmental Management Study of the Altona Forest was undertaken at the request of the Town. During the public review process, a group called "The Friends of the Altona Forest and Petticoat Creek" requested the Ministry of the Environment to have the proposal considered under the provisions of the Environmental Assessment Act. Town Council on December 17, 1990, referred the Altona Forest Environmental Management Study to the Ministry of the Environment for comment. Authority staff comments to the Town on the proposed amendment identified concerns with respect to the fact that only a portion of the Altona Forest ESA was to be protected. In May, 1992, Pickering Council adopted a resolution to inform Premier Rae of the summary of events since their December 17, 1990. resolution to refer the Altona Forest Study to the Ministry of the Environment and to encourage a provincial statement of interest by September, 1992. To date, the Ministry of the Environment has not responded to the request for Environmental Assessment, nor has there been the announcement of a provincial statement. In July, 1992, The Ministry of Municipal Affairs advised Authority staff that diScussions related to the protection of the Altona Forest ESA were on-going. Authority staff were asked to proVide the Ministry with specifiC details relating to the ESA boundary and development limits which would be required to protect ItS Significance. Through consultation with staff from the Ministry of Natural Resources, field investigations, and the review of environmental reports, Authority staff prepared a map which defined the limits of the Altona Forest which should be protected to ensure the retention of ItS inherent values. These limits were based on the following factors: (1 ) maintenance of the Inherent values of the Altona Forest and its significant attributes; (2) provIsion of linkages between the forest, the valley lands, and the Rouge-Duffin Hydro COrridor; (3) protection of the valley and stream corridors; and (4) recognition of the requirements for an urban community in terms of lot layout access and servicing needs. The boundaries determined, based on the above factors, would result in the elimination of a significant cedar stand in the eastern portion of the ESA but provides for an ecological linkage north to the Rouge - Duffin Hydro Corridor and south to the Petticoat Creek. Staff of the Authority and the Ministry of Natural Resources felt that the cedar stand was a significant loss to the overall size of the ESA, but that the inherent values of the ESA would be maintained and ecological linkages would be established. Large, uninterrupted blocks of developable land adjacent to the forest would remain but, as indicated, this would not significantly affect the importance of the ESA and would allow for a linkage which would not be possible under the proposed plan. Staff of the Authority received a recirculation of OPA /179 from the Town In September, 1992, notifYing of the upcoming reconsideration of the application by CouncIl. Staff commented to the Town of Pickering adVISing that we could not support the proposal which protected only the 19 hectare forest block and recommended deferral of the application until such time as provinCial diSCUSSions were concluded. At its meeting of September 21, 1992, Council adopted a resolution approving OPA #79 without revision. The proposed Official Plan Amendment #79 application Will now be directed to the Ministry of MuniCipal Affairs for approval which will result In the recirculation to the Authority sometime In the future. Authority Interests may still be addressed through the on-going provincial discussions; therefore, it is recommended that staff continue to diSCUSS thiS issue with the municipal and provinCial agencies and report to the Executive Committee on Issues that may arise from these discussions.

CARRIED BACKGROUND The subject lands were acquired from the Jesuit Fathers of Upper Canada Holding Corporation in June, 1970, under the Duffins Creek Component of the Land AcquiSition Project. The Jesuit Fathers of Upper Canada Holding Corporation own the adjacent land which is partially being used as a parking lot. At the south east. end of the parking lot is a catch basin. The existing conditions show that the soil around the catch basin has eroded away leaving the catch basin non-functional. All water draining to this point is flowing down the steep embankment, owned by the Authority, taking with it sediment and depositing it at the bottom of the bank and causing erosion on the Authority's property. To resolve this problem the Jesuit Fathers of Upper Canada Holding Corporation is proposing to place a concrete curb around the parking lot boundary to detain more frequent storms and pass them through the catch basin. Also a low point will be constructed in the curb and a swale on Authority land to allow the greater flows to channel down the slope without creating erosion problems. All eroded slopes will be restored and stabilized to the satisfaction of the Authority. The Jesuit Fathers of Upper Canada Holding Corporation will also provide on-going maintenance of the works. A map showing the general location of the property and a plan illustrating the specific location was available at the meeting. ~ EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/92, NOVEMBER 13, 1992 B-202 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 5.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT STRATEGY KEY ISSUE A review of the Authority's Financial Management Strategy which has been used and refined over the past two years to both prepare preliminary budgets and to deal with constraints as they have occurred. Res. #189 Moved by: Richard O'Brien Seconded by: Lois Griffin THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the staff report, dated November 5, 1992, on the Corporate Financial Management Strategy be received for Information.

THE AMENDMENT WAS ................................................... CARRIED THE MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND The 1993 Preliminary Budget was prepared on the basis of a zero increase in gross expenditures, a zero increase in salaries and wages and at least a zero increase in staffing. Staff have been able to achieve this very constrained budget by utilizing a financial management strategy that has been evolving over the past two years. This strategy has allowed the Authority to meet the budget constraints set by its funding partners in an organized and planned way as opposed to an ad hoc approach and has also enabled the Authority to continue to meet its corporate program priorities. The reality of budget constraint is not new to the Authority. In fact, staff have been working in a constrained environment for the past three or four years. Obviously, the economic climate over the last two years has been particularly bad and our ability to meet our objectives in all of our program areas has been reduced. To make the most effective use of our limited financial resources and to meet the directions of our funding partners to limit budget increases to zero" staff have embarked on several initiatives over the past two years which form a strategic financial management plan. There are three key components of the strategy. Although each component has evolved over time, it is important to continue to update and improve. In preparation for the 1993 budget, three staff task groups have been organized to review and make recommendations on each component. The three components are: (1 ) Human resource management plan; (2) Priority ranking system; (3) Program performance evaluation system through the use of "Performance Indicators". A brief description of each component is provided below. Human Resource ManaQement Plan In an organization like the Authority where a substantial portion of the budget is salaries, wages and benefits, it is imperative that this aspect of our expenditures be managed very carefully. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/92, NOVEMBER 13, 1992 B-204 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 6. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT STRATEGY (CONTD.I The Human Resource group was asked to develop procedures that would m~ke the most efficient and effective use of our staff resources. The group identified several areas where a corporate view of staff management procedures is needed to link staffing needs with Authority priorities and funding. Specifically procedures were developed for: staff sharing, corporate review of complement increases, advertising positions, continuing vacancies and contract extensions. Information sessions with all supervisory staff are now taking place. The procedures, with the exception of corporate review of vacancies, are now in effect. The corporate review of vacancies procedure will be effective January 1, 1993. Future Benefits . developing, among our managers and supervisors, a less parochial, more corporate view of priority setting and staffing; . ensuring that hiring decisions are not made in isolation but are reviewed in the context of all other jobs in the work unit; . requiring a long-term view of each hiring decision; . providing alternatives (staff sharing) to new hires; . providing training and development opportunities for our staff including a broader understanding of overall operations; . ensuring more efficient use of salary dollars through corporate review of hiring decisions, staff sharing and non-extension of contracts. Through this plan, it will be possible to ensure that staff resources are applied to the priority areas and that there is corporate control through the senior staff management committee and the CAO. Prioritv Rankine Svstem As part of the 1992 budget process, staff initiated a system of setting corporate priorities. This involved the definition of corporate goals and objectives based on the Mission Statement and the listing of the various ~tools" or program components which are used to achieve these goals and objectives. A system was developed to rank almost 70 "tools". This system is being refined for the 1993 Budget by a staff work group and will be finalized by the end of the year. The ranking system is the most important part of the financial management strategy. It will enable Corporate decisions to be made regarding how and where the funding that is received will be allocated. It will facilitate decision making on program cuts and allow a more strategic approach to budget allocation. The Preliminary 1993 Budget has been prepared using the priority ranking of the 1992 Budget and the preliminary work of this task group. Perf romance Indicators It is essential that each program offered meets corporate objectives and does so efficiently and effectively. The analysis of the efficiency of each program assists in setting priorities. In these tough times, both the public and private sectors must be able to define very clearly the businesses they are in, how efficient they are in providing services or products and, perhaps most importantly, being able to measure the effectiveness of their service. B-205 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE '9/92, NOVEMBER 13, 1992 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 6. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT STRATEGY (CONTD.I In late 1991, Authority staff initiated a program of defining .performance indicators. for each program, service and product. These indicators are measures of efficiency and effectiveness and will be unique to each program. The selection of the performance indicators has begun and will be refined in future budget cycles. The information obtained from the evaluation of the performance indicators will be a critical component of annual priority setting and corporate strategic planning. CONCLUSION Managing any business in times of fiscal constraint requires a selection of tools which can be used to set corporate goals and priorities and to evaluate program effectiveness. Authority staff has been very proactive in developing these tools and this has facilitated our ability to continue to meet corporate objectives and offer a quality product despite the funding problems. As these tools are refined over time, they will become more effective and a part of day to day management practice. These tools have been used in the development of the 1993 Preliminary Budget. As we work through the approval process and as the provincial funding picture becomes clearer, staff will use these tools to meet whatever constraints are imposed. There are other options open to the Authority to meet unusual budgetary circumstances. One such mechanism is to utilize the various reserve funds which the Authority has built up over the years for specific purposes. Consideration of this option, must form part of any financial strategy. Staff are confident that this financial strategy will allow the Authority to react in a rational and organized way, to whatever circumstances might arise. 7.

CARRIED BACKGROUND Since 1975, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (MTRCA) has conducted environmental monitoring programs to document the biological, chemical and physical conditions in the vicinity of waterfront parks. The MTRCA is also responsible for environmental monitoring at Colonel Samuel Smith Park and for the Keating Channel dredgeate disposal operations. The assessment of the benthic invertebrate composition and community structure is an integral component of the various monitoring programs, providing insight into the overall health and integrity of waterfront areas. Staff requires the taxonomic identification of benthic invertebrate samples in order to complete the site assessments. The firm of BII Consulting was retained in 1990 and 1991, and provided thorough identifications in a highly professional manner.

W Res. #195 Moved by: Lois Griffin Seconded by: Jim Witty THAT the status report, dated October 27, 1992, on the secondment of the Manager, Planning and Development, be received. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Executive Committee Meeting #4, 1992, June 12, 1992, Resolution #106 was adopted as follows: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the secondment of the Manager, Planning and Development, to the Royal Commission on the Future of the Toronto Waterfront on a half-time basis for the period of one year; subject to a review at that time for a possible second year, be approved; THAT his salary continue to be paid by the Authority; THAT his travel expenses related to waterfront trail work be paid by the Commission; AND FURTHER THAT a status report on the effect of this secondment on staff workload be reviewed by the Executive Committee at its November 13, 1992, meeting. The action of the Executive Committee was in response to a request from the Waterfront Regeneration Trust for the Authority to provide the services of Ian Deslauriers, Manager, Planning and Development, to provide his expertise in trail design, signage, management standards, public consultation on trails and related issues. Staff note that there has been considerable benefits to both organizations including: . key staff from both agencies are working closely on developing standards for trail design, signage construction and management; . facilitate the coordination among the complex network of municipalities and agencies along the waterfront; . coordination and integration of the Authority's Greater Toronto Area Trail System with the Waterfront Trail. While the benefits outlined in our June 12, 1992, staff report are now very real and should be continued, the workload at both the Trust and the Authority is well beyond the capacity of one person. Staff have initiated discussions with the Waterfront Regeneration Trust to determine how the present benefits accruing from the secondment can continue and that the issue of workload can be addressed. It is anticipated that a specific recommendation on the secondment can be made to the Executive Committee its December 4th meeting.

Dreyer and Associates Ltd., to complete the hydrographic survey off the Toronto Islands south shoreline (West Gap to the East Gapl at a total estimated cost of $32,775; THAT the same three companies be retained to complete II marine side scan sonar survey of the same offshore area at a total estimated cost of .16,000, subject to the approval of the Technical Steering Committee for the Toronto Islands Shoreline Management Study; AND FURTHR THAT a revised total project budget of $60,000 be approved. . CARRIED BACKGROUND The members of the Executive Committee, at their meeting #8, held on October 9, 1992, adopted the following resolution: "THAT staff be directed to request the Toronto Harbour Commission to carry out Hydrographic Surveying off Toronto Islands (Phase I, Gibraltar Point to Wards Islandl at an estimated cost of $30,000 within a total project budget of $38,000 subject to technical funding approval by the Ministry of Natural Resources." Staff presented the details of the Phase I program and quotations received from the Toronto Harbour Commissioners and three private contractors to the members of the Technical Steering Committee of the Toronto Islands Shoreline Management Study at a meeting held on October 30th. It was the decision of the Committee that more meaningful data could be obtained if the complete hydrographic survey program was carried out at the same time instead of being phased over a six month period. In addition, the Committee requested that diving operations be considered to collect sediment samples and that photography andlor video be used to record the stations. A revised total budget limit of $50,000 to $60,000 was recommended. Since the quotation received from the Toronto Harbour Commission was much higher than the others, the Authority staff was asked to request proposals from private contractors and to use two contractors, if necessary, to ensure that the data collection is completed prior to year end. A proposal was received from a partnership of three survey companies: McQuest Marine Sciences Ltd., J. Halsall Hydrographic Surveys and R. Dreyer and Associates to complete the required scope of work at a total cost of $29,275 (incl. GST) plus contingency allowance of $3,500. Staff have reviewed the details of the proposal and are satisfied that the Terms of Reference are met.

Res. #208 Moved by: Lois Hancey Seconded by: Lois Griffin THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT staff be directed to proceed with the disposition of the Trust Fund currently held by the Authority solicitors, which was part of the original purchase price for the acquisition of the Guild Inn property In the City of Scarborough on the Lake Ontario Waterfront on the following basis: la) To the family members, the sum of $50,388.00; (bl To Guildwood Hall, the sum of $19,553.50; (cl To Gardiner, Roberts for administering the Fund, the sum of $50,5.80.00; (dl To the Treasurer of Metropolitan Toronto and the Authority, jointly as they direct, the balance of the fund; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect thereto Including the obtaining of any necessary approvals Including the Province of Ontario and the execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Purchase of the Guild Inn property was completed on June 16, 1978. The property contained 80.73 acres ..:t. , together with substantial improvements. The purchase price was $8,200,000.00 of which $7,700,000.00 was paid on closing and $500,000.00 placed in a Trust Fund held at Gardiner, Roberts, to be used for repairs and improvements at the property in accordance with the provisions of the purchase agreement. The Trust Fund consisted of $200.000.00 for outstanding work orders and $300,000.00 for improvements. In the early 1980's, the former owners made a claim to the balance of the Trust Fund and discussions on a settlement have been underway since that time. The funding for this acquisition was contributed 50% each from the Province and Metro with the property being purchased under the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Waterfront Project 1977 - 1981. Under the terms of the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, it was agreed that approximately 23 acres, together with most of the improvements would be leased back to the Vendors for a five year period. Subsequent to the expiration of the initial lease period. the 23 acre portion of the property has been leased by the Authority and The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, to a variety of operators. In 1988, the Authority leased this section of the property to the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto for a 95 year period. The lands were subsequently leased by Metro with the Authority consenting to Giant Step Realty Corporation under a lease development arrangement with the lands to be used for similar purposes to the original Guild Inn use. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE # 10/92, DECEMBER 4, 1992 B-221 SECTION 1- ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 1. SETTLEMENT OF TRUST FUND FROM GUILD INN PURCHASE (CONTD.I The Trust Fund paid out approximately $250,000.00 within a few years of the closing of the purchase and the balance has now accumulated to approximately $1,095,386. It has tentatively been arranged that the matter can now be resolved on the following basis: (1 ) The former owners and their representatives would be paid $69,941.50., i.e., the family members and Guildwood Hall; (2) Gardiner, Roberts, for administering the fund would receive $50,580.00. Most of this will be reimbursed to the Authority as the Authority has been paying Gardiner, Roberts for legal costs relating to the Guild Inn; (3) The balance would be paid to the Treasurer of Metropolitan Toronto and the Authority jointly as they direct. The tentative basis for settlement provides for a fund to be set up by Metro under an account to be known as "The Guild Cultural Reserve Fund". The fund to be used for establishment, maintenance, management or operation of such recreational or cultural facilities or programs at the Guild or to the physical improvements of the lands and premises at the Guild or otherwise as the Council of Metro and the Authority together deem appropriate. Authority staff will ensure that all additional interest generated, continues to accrue to the fund and are satisfied that the recommendation as presented, is in the best interests of the Authority at this time.

CARRIED BACKGROUND In September, 1990, the Authority adopted "The Project for the Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park" for the Etobicoke Motel Strip Public Amenity area. On July 31, 1991, the Authority filed with the Minister of the Environment, a request for an exemption from the Environmental Assessment Act for the creation of a public amenity area in the Motel Strip area of the City of Etobicoke. On October 9, 1991, the Order in Council for an - ------ B-222 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/92, DECEMBER 4, 1992 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 2. FISH COMPENSATION PLAN - ETOBICOKE MOTEL STRIP (CONTD.I - Consulting Engineering Services exemption order ur;der the Environmental Assessment Act was approved with conditions. The condition regarding the need for a Fish Compensation Plan is as follows: "2. The Authority must submit for approval to the Director of Central Region, Ministry of the Environment, a detailed plan on lakefill prior to construction to include: . plans for landform which must fulfil federal requirements pertaining to fisheries, reflect the MTRCA filline and satisfy the storm water 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; . monitoring during construction and to establish baseline conditions following construction. " The Etobicoke Motel Strip Secondary Plan (C - 65 - 86) received approval from the Ontario Municipal Board in July, 1992, subject to ratification by Cabinet. Policy - 9.3 in the Secondary Plan deals with shoreline configuration, lakefilling, water quality pond and the wetlands, and the requirements for a compensation package for the loss of fish habitat. Currently there are submissions being prepared on the Secondary Plan for Cabinet consideration. Authority staff have indicated that there is a need to complete a Fish Compensation Plan and have general agreement by the two key approval agencies, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans by the end of December, 1992. In 1991, Tarandus Associates Limited was retained by the City of Etobicoke, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, and the Province of Ontario to undertake four season fisheries monitoring as well as a detailed inventory of fish habitat and habitat characteristics within the Motel Strip area. Staff have received a letter proposal from Tarandus Associated Limited to complete the Fish Compensation Plan at a cost of $15,000. With the experience Tarandus Associates have had in the earlier data collection, the four season monitoring, habitat inventory, Staff recommend that Tarandus Associates Limited be retained at a total cost of $15,000.

FLOOD CONTROL PROGRAM -Etobicoke Creek Hydrology Study KEY ISSUE To carry out a hydrology study on the Etobicoke Creek Watershed. Res. #212 Moved by: Lois Hancey Seconded by: Richard O'Brlen THA T staff retain Paul Wisner and Associates Incorporated to carry out a hydrology study on the Etobicoke Creek Watershed. CARRIED BACKGROUND Watershed management strategies are recognized as an important planning mechanism to manage the resources of a watershed on an ecosystem basis. It is important at this scale to carry out the appropriate hydrologic studies . which address the impacts of various land use scenarios on flow regimes and the cumulative impacts of altering the hydrographs. From this information, watershed wide storm water management strategies for flood and erosion control can be developed. The Rouge River Water Basin Management Strategy developed an overall storm water management policy for flood and erosion control based on this approach (stream level). However, it also recognized the need to be aware and address local constraints on the tributary watercourses. The Duffin Creek and Don River Hydrology Studies indicate that it is best from a general flood control policy to let the lower reaches of the watershed go uncontrolled and implement total control (2 years to 100 years) in the mid and upper reaches. This level of effort at the watershed scale is required to understand the flow characteristics of individual watersheds and to be able to develop an overall stormwater management strategy. RATIONALE A number of large scale developments are being proposed within the City of Brampton. Traditionally, under the stormwater management program, the developer would be required to control storm runoff based on downstream flood hazards. Alternatively, they could carry out a hydrology and hydraulic analysis to show that control was not effective for the area being developed. From our work on the Rouge River, Duffin Creek and Don River, it has become apparent that a comprehensive hydrOlogy study is required to develop the most effective stormwater management strategy. With the large amount of land being proposed for development within the City, staff consider it to be an opportune time to get the developers together to carry out a comprehensive hydrOlogy study, which will produce an overall stormwater management strategy for all development within Etobicoke Creek. . . EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE # 10/92, DECEMBER 4, 1992 B-225 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 4. FLOOD CONTROL PROGRAM (CONTD.I -Etobicoke Creek Hydrology Study The Authority and City of Brampton staff prepared the terms of reference and negotiated with the developers to undertake this approach. We are in a receipt of a proposal from Paul Wisner and Associates Incorporated to carry out a hydrology study on the Etobicoke Creek Watershed for an estimated cost of $60,000. Staff has reviewed the proposal and are prepared to recommend that Paul Wisner and Associates Incorporated be retained to carry out the study. Paul Wisner and Associates Incorporated are experienced in this field and have carried out a number of stormwater management studies within the Etobicoke Creek basin. City of Brampton staff and the developer group are also prepared to support this recommendation. FINANCIAL DETAILS The total estimated cost for the study is $60.000. The negotiated cost sharing formula is as follows: Developer Group $40,000 Authority Revenue $20.000 Total $60,000 The developer group is being assessed on a gross acreage basis and the study will not begin until we have the funds on hand. The Authority's share will be raised from stormwater management fees from current developments within Brampton. Therefore, there will be no financial costs incurred by the Authority. As watershed managers, we feel this is an important exercise to ensure that stormwater management is carried out in an effective and equitable manner. 5.

DESIGN GUIDELINES - COLONEL SAMUEL SMITH (CONTD.I - Consulting Engineering Services BACKGROUND In December, 1991, the firm of Hotson, Bakker submitted a report on the site planning issues surrounding the public boardwalk and waterfront architectural character of Colonel Samuel Smith Park. Authority staff, in reviewing this report with the consultant, concluded that a "shared vision" of an architectural theme had to be developed first. The consultant prepared in early 1992, Part A - Thematic Development report outlining four themes. These themes have been reviewed with Metropolitan Toronto Parks and Property Department, City of Etobicoke Planning Department, Humber College Sailing School and the Lakeshore Yacht Club. The preferred theme - The Lakeshore Cottage Hospital, reflects architecture and design features of the former Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital. Support also exists to incorporate some aspects of another theme - Toronto's Favourite Resort. The City of Etobicoke in considering the zOfling by-law amendment for this site in February, 1992, set as a condition of approval, the "submission of design guidelines for the area to be leased by the Sam Smith Boaters Federation to the satisfaction of the staff Advisory Committee on Development Control. All park buildings will be subject to site plan approval by the City of Etobicoke. Staff is recommending that Part Two of the design guideline process be initiated at this time, to ensure direction in the design for the boating club facilities and park buildings, as well as the integration with the public boardwalk. These guidelines will not only assist Etobicoke during site plan approval, but also Metropolitan Toronto and the Authority in approving each component of the Master Plan. Authority staff has received a letter proposal from Hotson Bakker for Part Two of the design guideline process. The proposal indicates a level of effort of approximately twelve consulting days for $8,500 inclusive of expenses. The design guidelines will be prepared by the end of 1992. Because of their expertise in waterfront designs and preparation of Part One of this work, staff is recommending that the Hotson, Bakker-Architects be retained. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE The consultant will use as a basis to develop the architectural or design guidelines the selected theme. In general, the design guidelines will include: . the public boardwalk and bridge; . the sailing club buildings; . integration of public and boat club space; . public washroom; . sailing school building; . maintenance building; . signage; . planting; . materials; . pathways and trails; . parking; and . winter boat storage The consultant's draft report will be reviewed with the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, the City of Etobicoke, the Lakeshore Yacht Club, Humber College Sailing Centre and Authority staff.

PROVINCIAL WATER MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES DOCUMENTS (CONTD.J -Extension of Contract for preparation FINANCIAL DETAILS Funding for this initiative has been provided through the 1991/92 Toronto Area Watershed Management Strategy (TAWMSI agreement between the Ministry of the Environment and The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (MTRCAI and the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNRI agreement with MTRCA to coordinate various watershed and subwatershed planning and management issues. For the fiscal year 1992-93, MNR had originally provided funding in the amount of $9,000 and now have provided additional funding in the amount of $13,700 and MOE has provided funding in the amount of $10,000 for this project through extension of these agreements. Following project approval, both Ministries' staff recognized that the actual work required to complete the tasks was much broader than the original scope, and that the consultant's work was as expedient as pOSSible considering the inter-ministerial review requirements. The tasks completed for the additional $23,628.10 were: . preparation of a questionnaire for conservation authorities on average annual expenditures on channel and erosion control works, staff time to review urban drainage plans and the existence or lack of watershed plans, and urban drainage guidelines; . preparation of a questionnaire for municipalities on average annual expenditures for channelization, flood and erosion control measures, and maintenance of urban drainage related facilities; . circulation of information and interpretation of summarize information from Questionnaires; and . preparation of a CostlBenefit Analysis Report outlining the cost reduction to the Province, conservation authorities and municipalities of doing pre-planning through watershed and subwatersheds as opposed to the existing approach. In recognizing these problems, Ministries' staff has authorized the additional payment of $23,628.10 which increases the total funding to $32,628.10. The total cost of $32,628.10 is provided through the special funding provided by the Province. No municipal levy or other Authority funding is required.

AND FURTHER THAT staff continue discussions with Municipal and Provincial approval agencies, reporting further on this Issue es the need arises. . CARRIED BACKGROUND Staff of the Authority received a circulation of the proposed Official Plan Amendment #79 from the Town of Pickering in September, 1992. The proposed amendment refers to a 130 hectare block of land bounded to the north by the Hydro Corridor; to the east by Rosebank Road; the west by Altona Road; and the south by the Canadian National Railway. Authority interests affected by this proposed amendment relate to the valley and stream corridors of the Petticoat Creek and its tributaries, flood plains, the Altona Forest ESA and stormwater management, both quality and erosion control. Staff commented to the Town of Pickering advising that we could not support the proposal, which protected only a 19 hectare forest block ,(a small portion of the entire ESA which comprises approximately 50 hectares and recommended deferral of the application until such time as Provincial discussions regarding the protection of the Altona Forest were concluded. At its meeting of September 21, 1992, Council adopted a resolution approving OPA #79 without revision. Subsequently, staff reported to the Executive Committee at its meeting #8/92, October 9, 1992, advising of the conflict that had arisen between Municipal Council Objectives and Authority objectives. Since the October 9, 1992, Executive Committee Meeting, the Ministry of Municipal affairs has recirculated Official Plan Amendment #79 to approval agencies for comment. We have provided our comments to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs by letter dated December 18, 1992. Our comments reflect those that were expressed to the Town of Pickering. We advised that through our review of the Michalski Report dated December, 1990, entitled "The Altona Forest Area, Environmental Management Study", information received from the Ministry of Natural Resources and from conducting our own field investigations, we concluded that the ESA limits extend beyond those established by the Authority in 1982. We provided the Ministry of Municipal Affairs with a map delineating the minimum forest area to be protected. Staff requested modifications to the Official Plan Amendment #79, in order to recognize the Altona Forest which extends beyond the 19 hectare urban forest block currently shown. ---- --- EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE '11/92, JANUARY 8, 1993 8-240 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 7.

Res. #228 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Paul Palleschi IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the resolution of the Authority'. appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board regarding Consent application 880/90,278 Taylor Road, City of Scarborough be received for information. CARRIED BACKGROUND At the Executive Committee Meeting "2/91, held October 25, 199', staff's appeal of the approval of Consent Application B80/90, 278 Taylor Road, City of Scarborough was endorsed and staff was also given direction to consult with the applicant concerning a resolution to the issue. The basis of the appeal was the lack of recognition of the Rouge River valley lands that form part of the proposed lot. These valley lands are currently zoned for residential use. Discussions took place with the applicant, the City of Scarborough and Authority staff. An agreement was reached by all parties to place an appropriate condition on the severance which would have the effect of recognizing the valleylands (top-of-bank plus 10 metres inland) through an agreement to be registered on title which restricts buildings, structures and fill from within the valley corridor (letter to Ontario Municipal Board, dated December 22, 19921. This agreement was presented to the Ontario Municipal Board at its hearing December 2', 1992. Although the Board has not yet rendered a formal decision, they expressed their acceptance of this approach. Staff will report further should the Ontario Municipal Board Decision vary from this agreement. 8.

CARRIED EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/92, JANUARY 8, 1993 8-242 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 9. INTERIM WASTE AUTHORITY (CONTD.I -Short List of Sites, Durham, Peel, YorklMetropolitan Toronto BACKGROUND The Interim Waste Authority (IW AI was established by the government in May, 1991 and its powers defined in Bill 143, An Act Respecting the Management of Waste in the Greater Toronto Area and to Amend the Environmental Assessment Act. The Act gives the IWA the mandate to find three landfill sites, one within each of: the Region of Durham to service its disposal needs; the Region of Peel to service its disposal needs; and the Region of York and Metropolitan Toronto to service their disposal needs. The IWA established a Government Reviewers' group in August of 1991 and MTRCA staff were invited to participate. Input was provided to the IWA in the form of MTRCA mapping of Environmentally Significant Areas; land ownership; areas identified as suitable for acquisition; and areas scheduled under Ontario Regulation 158. Staff has provided comment with respect to the ranking and weighting of site selection criteria (October 19911 and the revised approach and criteria (June 19921. In June 1992, the IWA announced its three Long Lists of Candidate Sites and, in considering the staff report in this connection the MTRCA adopted the following resolution: -THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the staff report on the Interim Waste Authority's Long List of Candidate Sites in Durham, Peel and YorklMetropolitan Toronto, be received; THAT staff be directed to continue to participate in the Government Reviewers' process to ensure that adopted Authority program, policy and project interests are addressed; THAT staff notify the Interim Waste Authority of the specific Authority interests affected on a site by site basis; THAT the Interim Waste Authority and the Minister of the Environment be advised that the Authority considers its lands and those lands it has designated as necessary for the protection of the Greenspace system to be unsuitable for use as a sanitary landfill site, by their characteristics as floodplain, hazard and valleyland, environmentally significant areas and conservation lands; AND FURTHER THAT, although the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program has yet to be endorsed by the Authority's watershed municipalities and adopted by the Authority, the principles of valley and stream corridor protection, to ensure the environmental integrity of watersheds, is integral to the Authority's 1989 Greenspace Strategy and should be recognized and incorporated into the Interim Waste Authority's site selection process.. In detailed comments related to the long lists, staff identified the MTRCA concerns specific to each of the sites, including those sites affected by Ontario Regulation 158/90 which are in addition to those covered by registered fill schedules. The draft Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program was also referenced and copies of the proposalS and diagrams defining the corridors forwarded to the IWA. In November 1992, the three Short Lists were released and comments are required by the end of March. IMPACT ON AUTHORITY POLICIES 8& PROGRAMS Under the Conservation Authorities Act, the MTRCA has the responsibility of developing policies, programs and projects -whereby the natural resources of the watershed may be conserved, restored, developed and managed- B-243 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/92, JANUARY 8, 1993 SECTION II . ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 9. INTERIM WASTE AUTHORITY (CONTD.I -Short List of Sites, Durham, Peel, YorklMetropolitan Toronto (Sec. 21.al, The MTRCA adopted a comprehensive Watershed Plan in 1980 which was updated in 1986 and, in 1989, supplemented by the Greenspace Strategy. The MTRCA has also adopted and administers Ontario Regulation 158/90 requiring private or municipal proponents to apply for permission to: build in an area susceptible to flooding, place fill in an area shown on registered schedules, or alter a watercourse. Public projects are subject to the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. The MTRCA is subject to the requirements of the Act for its own projects and is a commenting agency on the proposals of other public proponents. Provincial projects are not subject to the MTRCA's regulation; however, MTRCA interests can be identified through the Environmental Assessment process. MTRCA comments are within the context of adopted policies, programs and projects. The MTRCA is one of numerous bodies that has commenting status under the Environmental Assessment Act, including Provincial Ministries, affected municipalities, special purpose bodies, and the public. Each participant in the process has its own area of expertise and its own interests and concerns. The Minister of the Environment must weigh all comments and decide whether a proposal may proceed. The Minister's decision involves assessing not only issues related to the natural environment but also cultural, social, economic and community interests. In its input and comment to the IWA, the Authority has identified the following areas of interest: potential impacts on areas regulated under Ontario Regulation 158/90; potential impacts on the landforms 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 transportationlaccess routes that may be affected by the selection of a specific site. Of the sites identified on the three short lists, within MTRCA jurisdiction, all are in headwaters areas. These are areas where few resource management projects have been carried out and where the Authority has limited base information. WORK TO BE DONE The current IWA documentation identifies the issues to be addressed by consultants in recommending one site in each search area from the three short lists of sites. In reviewing proposals under the Environmental Assessment Act, MTRCA staff request the proponent to assess the impact of the proposal on MTRCA interests. Staff recommend that this approach be taken with the IWA process, however, given the extensive area required; the modification of existing landforms; and the potential for groundwater contamination associated with landfill proposals, MTRCA staff would require expert assistance to address certain aspects of the review. The two major areas of concern are: how to assess the potential ecological impact resulting from the relocation and or diversion of headwaters tributaries on the overall watershed system, and . . EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE '11/92, JANUARY 8,1993 8-244 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 9. INTERIM WASTE AUTHORITY (CONTD.I -Short List of Sites, Durham, Peel, YorklMetropolitan Toronto how to assess the potential for contamination of aquifers which may recharge to a watershed system. To address these concerns, expert opinion would be helpful at two stages: to review the current documentation to ensure that the IWA has requested its consultants to collect and analyze information which will address the Authority's concerns with respect to maintaining the ecological integrity of the watershed systems, and to review the consultant's reports and recommendations with respect to the preferred alternatives, specific to these concerns. Experts would be retained on a per diem basis to carry out specific review assignments. At a rate of $500.00 per day, the cost for the first task is estimated at $15,000.00 and for the second $60,000.00 The MTRCA's request to the IWA for funding assistance should be to cover these costs, recognizing that proposals of this magnitude and unique nature exceed our in-house technical expertise and existing staff resources. 10.

REQUEST FOR LEASE AND RESTORATION OF FORMER PEACHEY MANSION (CONTD.) -Claireville Area BACKGROUND In September, 1963, the Authority acquired by expropriation a 100 acre parcel of land in the City of Brampton, from Edmund H. and H. Deane Peachey to facilitate construction of the Claireville Dam and Reservoir Project. Situate on the subject land at the date of acquisition, were a number of improvements including a substantial two storey brick mansion. Since receiving vacant possession of this building from the original owners a short time after the date of expropriation, the building has been at times vacant and at other times rented at a minimal rent on a caretaking basis. The interim arrangements continued over an extended period of time on the assumption that the building would eventually be restored in conjunction with park or golf course developments at Claireville. It now appears that no such project will be at hand in the foreseeable future. Other potential long term Authority uses of the property could consist of a use as illustrated in the attached material relating to the Cawthra Elliott House in the City of Mississauga or additional office space for Authority or Foundation operations. 4.

CARRIED BACKGROUND At Meeting # 1/92 of the Don Watershed Task Force it was resolved: "THAT a Steering Committee of five members (Veronica Bergs, Deborah Martin-Downs. Donald Cross, David Cohen, and Denis McKee) be selected to plan a one day or evening session to develop a framework for the preparation of the draft Don Watershed Strategy; AND FURTHER THAT a facilitator be hired to assist the Task Force in the preparation of the framework. " The Steering Committee met to develop terms of reference and to generate a list of potential facilitators. Four firms were provided with a copy of the terms of reference and proposals were requested from each. The following three firms responded to the request: Ogilvie & Ogilvie & Company Jim Ward & Associates IER Planning, Research & Management Mr. Donald Cross (Steering Committee) and staff met with the three candidates. Mro Robb Ogilvie of Ogilvie, Ogilvie & Company was chosen as best able to develop a work plan based on the selection criteria contain~d within the terms of reference. Ogilvie, Ogilvie & Company were also the lowest bidder. Mr. Ogilvie facilitated a three hour session resulting in the development of both a Table of Contents and a Work Plan which was reported on by the Task Force chair, Mr. Mark Wilson, in his Task Force quarterly report at Meeting #9/92, January 15, 1993 of the Water And Related Land Management Advisory Board.

DON WATERSHED STRATEGY ICONTD.) -Approval for engaging a facilitator in conjunction with the Don Watershed Task Force RATIONALE Staff propose that the services of Mr. Robb Ogilvie be retained on an as required basis. Mr. Ogilvie was selected for the initial stage of the work by the Task Force. His experience includes extensive work with a number of provincial ministries including the development of the Provincial Strategic Plan for Ontario Fisheries (Part 21. the development of the Provincial Wild Life Strategy and the Water Conservation Strategyo A formal request for proposal for the second stage of work has not been undertaken. Mr. Ogilvie is recommended based on the initial call for proposals and review that was undertaken. The initial proposal did not include work proposed for 1993 for four reasons: . the work plan, which drives the frequency, type and scope of consultation and need for facilitation were not determined; . staff attempt to structure funding requests to the Authority to coincide with the Authority's fiscal year; . the Task Force had only met for one meeting and it had not been determined If this approach would be acceptable to members; and . the relatively small initial assignment gave an opportunity to evaluate Mr. Ogilvie's effectiveness with the group. In this type of consulting assignment, the individual selected is the key to success. Mr. Ogilvie has demonstrated his grasp of the issues and his effectiveness with this particular group on this assignment. His daily rate is competitive in the industry. The Authority's procedures for consultant selection for services estimated to cost $25,000 or less require that consideration be given to three firms. Given that Mr. Ogilvie was recently selected in accordance with that process in 1992 and has successfully completed the first stage of work, the best value to the Authority can be achieved by retaining Mr. Ogilvie to complete the worko The services for which the Authority is retaining Ogilvie, Ogilvie & Company will include the following range of meetings: . facilitation of key task force meetings where members are dealing with the development of vision and principles, watershed strategies as presented by the three working groups, and individual community . subwatershed. strategies; . facilitation of key public and agency stakeholder meetings dealing with issues outlined above; and . advice on the consultation process. FINANCIAL DETAILS: Funds for these services are available in the Don Watershed account # 118-10. B-259 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE # 12/93, FEBRUARY 12 , 1993 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 9. BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE -The Ministry of Culture & Communication, Internship Grant Application KEY ISSUE Approval to apply for a Ministry of Culture & Communication Internship Grant to enable the production of an updated guidebook for Black Creek Pioneer Village. Res. #247 Moved by: Lois Hancey Seconded by: Paul Palleschi THAT staff make application to The Ministry of Culture & Communication for an Internship Grant, to a maximum of $12,000, to enable production of an updated Black Creek Pioneer Village guidebook. CARRIED RA TIONALE Black Creek is badly in need of an updated guidebook. The one pre'sently sold at the Village was originally written in the mid-1960's and, with the exception of introducing paragraphs on added buildings when the book has been reprinted, the copy and pictures have remained essentially the same. While the Village interpretation has benefitted from ongoing research, staff resources have precluded updating the guidebook. Included in the non-capital grants offered by the Ministry of Culture & Communication is that of Internship Training whereby professional heritage institutions can provide on-the-job training for individuals wishing to enter the heritage field. The Ministry will grant up to 80% of the salary cost to a maximum of $12,000 for a one year internshipo Black Creek has taken advantage of this program in the past and provided three interns With training. In each case, the Village has benefitted by getting work accomplished that the present staff complement does not have time to fulfil. It is proposed to request an intern who, as part of the year's training, would write and coordinate the production of a guidebOOk that would be updated in both content and appearance. Such a product would, no doubt, sell well in the Village gift shop. Funding for the additional 20% of salary plus benefits ($5,000) would come from donations accumulated in The Black Creek General Fund of the Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto. 10. DISPOSAL. REPLACEMENT VEHICLES KEY ISSUE The disposal of replacement vehicles. Res. #248 Moved by: Lois Hancey Seconded by: Paul Palleschi THAT the three vehicles identified for replacement in 1993 be declared surplus; AND FURTHER THAT they be disposed of by trade-in. CARRIED EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/93, FEBRUARY 12, 1993 B-260 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 10. DISPOSAL - REPLACEMENT VEHICLES (CONTD.) BACKGROUND At meeting #11/92, on January 22,1993, the Authority approved the replacement of 3 vehicles (#27, #40 and #42) on the chargeback system. In accordance with the Authority's Disposal Policy, these units must be declared surplus and if the aggregate value of items to be disposed of is estimated to be greater than $10.000 approval of the Executive Committee of the Authority is required. RATIONALE The vehicles to be replaced in 1993 are part of the Authority's chargeback system and have an estimated value of: Vehicle Estimated Value #27 - 1989 Chev Service Van $ 4,000 #40 - 1988 Suburban 6,000 #42 - 1988 GMC 1 Ton Truck 5.000 Estimated Total $15,000 Disposal by trade-in is recommended because: a) replacement vehicles may not be received prior to a spring auction and retaining same to a fall auction decreases value while increasing repair and insurance costs; b) vehicle tenders over the past three years have provided trade-in allowances in excess of either the Authority's book value or staff's estimated value.

OFFICE AND PAPER SUPPLIES ICONTD.) -Quotation FA 93-01 and FA 93-02, Tender Opening Sub-Committee # 11/92 In the past years, pricing has been very competitive with two or three companies providing similar pricing. Each company was asked to provide a short list with unit pricing for the most often purchased items. They were also asked to provide pricing for all the other items the Authority purchases. The Markid Business Products tender has been accepted, it being the lowest price received. Their costs are 10% cheaper than Brown & Collett and 18% cheaper than Spectrum Office Supplies. The Authority has never dealt with Markid Business Products and staff were apprehensive that the excellent pricing received might reflect inferior products. A sample order was placed, gOOds were examined and staff are confident that Markid is able to provide quality products and service. Paoer Suoolies The Authority received three tenders for paper needs for the 1993 year. The Graphic Papers tender has been accepted, it being the lowest bid received. The AuthOrity has done business with Graphic Papers in the past and staff is confident that they are a supplier who can meet the Authority's needs. 12.

ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENTS Z/82/92 & Z/83/92 - VAUGHAN (CONTDo) -198 Riverview Avenue and 74 Jules Avenue, Humber River Watershed AMENDMENT Moved by: Lorna Jackson Res. #251 Seconded by: Richard O'Brien THAT staff investigate the possibility of a save harmless agreement in favour of the Authority and report back to the Executive Committee. THE AMENDMENT WAS ................................................... CARRIED THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .CARRIED BACKGROUND In December of 1986, Vaughan Council resolved to sell surplus parkland to residents of Jules Avenue, Riverside Avenue and Willis Road, whose properties backed onto Maxey Park. Maxey Park is located on the east bank of the Humber River, just south of Willis Road, and consists of valley floor and sideslope. . On April 3, 1990, Vaughan Council passed By-law 101-90 authorizing the sale and execution of any necessary documents, including the preparation of legal agreements which would address future use of the property, indemnification of the City, and prohibit the construction of any buildings or structures. These agreements are registered on title of each of the nine lapproximate) properties benefiting from this sale. Authority staff were not consulted with respect to this sale. The lands which were sold by the City of Vaughan are steep valley side slope with substantial cover of deciduous treeso It should be noted that most of the properties backing onto Maxey Park have retaining walls in their rear yard and there is a black chain-link fence on the rear lot line. The date of this construction is unknown. Zonina Bv-Iaw Amendments Z/82/92 & Z/83/92 On October 7, 1992 Authority staff received a formal circulation of the above referenced Zoning By-law Amendment applications for comment. The applications had been submitted to amend the zoning bylaw to permit structures (decks) that had been built within the Open Space Park Zone at the rear of each lot with no approvalso The subject lands are zoned R3 Residential Zone and OS2 Open Space Park Zone by By-law '-88. Residential uses and/or structures accessory to a residential use are not permitted in an OS2 Zone and are specifically prohibited by the agreements registered on title of each lot. The Zoning By-law Amendments were sought to bring the structures into compliance with the requirements for building approvals, which were never issued by the City. The property owner at 74 Jules Avenue was charged in April 1992 by City staff and advised to obtain a building permit. The property owner at 198 Riverview was issued an order of non-compliance in July 1992 and also advised to obtain a building permit. A building permit could not be issued for either deck since the existing OS2 zoning did not allow for structures. Pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158, a permit would be required from the Authority prior to the placing or dumping of fill or permitting fill to be placed or dumped in the areas described in the schedules whether such fill is already located in or upon such area, or brought to or on such area from some other place or places. In the instance of application Z/83/92, a permit would be reqUIred for the fill assOCiated with a storage shed that was constructed at the time the deck was built. Application Z/82/92 would not reqUire a permit since no fill was introduced to facilitate the construction of the structure. On December 7, 1992, Authority staff advised they were not in support of the zoning by-law amendment applications since the structures were built within an OS2 zone and below the physical crest of slope. Staff were of the opinion that the structures could potentially threaten the stability of the valley walls and further that the encroachment of these structures within the valley Itself IS not In keeping with the Authority'S objective of land conservation. . 0 8-263 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/93, FEBRUARY 12 , , 993 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 12. ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENTS Z/82/92 & Z/83/92 - VAUGHAN (CONTD.) -198 Riverview Avenue and 74 Jules Avenue, Humber River Watershed At the Council Public Hearing of December 7, 1992, both zoning amendment applications were approved by Vau'ghan Council subject to the following conditions: - That the implementing zoning by-law provide for the necessary exceptions to permit the maintenance of the existing structures; - That prior to the enactment of the by-law, a qualified engineer shall certify that the slope IS stable and that the structure is safe; - That upon the by-law coming into effect, the agreement between the individual owner and the City of Vaughan be amended to allow the existing structures to be maintained. In addition, Zoning By-law Amendment Z/83/92 is subject to the following conditions: The exterior walls of the enclosed portion of the structure (the storage shed) shall be removed; Landscaping shall be provided along the north property line near the shed wall in order to adequately screen the structure to the satisfaction of the Parks, Planning and Development Department. Any person or agency may appeal the by-law to the Ontario Municipal Board up to 21 days after receiving written notification of the by-law's enactment. While both proponents are currently working towards addressing the concerns of Council, neither of these by-laws has been implemented to date. RATIONALE The Authority's Watershed Plan, 1980 Section 5.2.1 Well Defined Vallevs states the following: "The policies and programs in the Watershed Plan which apply to the well-defined valleys have as their overall thrust, the retention of the well-defined valleys from top of Slope to top of slope as natural units capable of passing Regional Flood flows, avoiding development that would be hazardous to life and property, and retaining the opportunity for preservation of the well-defined valleys as public open space areas consistent with municipal official plan policies." The decks are also not in compliance with the recommendations of the Authority's Draft Valley and Stream Management Program which has been endorsed by Vaughan CouncIl. Authority staff are of the opinion that the deck structures present a potential impact to the stability of the slope, and that their encroachment below top-of-bank is not In keeping with the Authority'S objective of land conservation. As previously noted however, most of the properties backing onto Maxey park have some form of structural encroachment in their rear yards, below the physical crest of slope. Similar occurrences have taken place on Queenston Crescent and also on Natress Street, where the sale of City owned surplus lands within the valley and stream corridors were of concern to Authority staff with respect to the Authority's program and policy Objectives. In both instances, however, a resolution was achieved since structural encroachment was not an issue. Authority staff are of the opinion that the referral of this matter to the Ontario Municipal Board will not resolve this issue. A successful appeal would maintain these structures in a state of non-compliance with the By-law, which may then require the City to take legal action to pursue the removal of the structures. In light of similar occurrences throughout the Woodbridge Community regarding the sale of City-owned valley lands and the fact that the Woodbridge Community has historic development patterns within this reach of the valley corridor, staff are of the opinion that the preparation of a community reach plan that has specific regard for existing and potential land use patterns and valley conservation Objectives would better address the concerns of the Authority.
