Res. #70 Moved by: Eldred King Seconded by: Gerri Lynn O'Connor THAT staff be directed to alter the terms of the demolition contract at the former Domtar property so as to preserve the existing smoke stack and any appropriate sections of the walls and roof of the adjacent boiler room; AUTHORITY MEETING #2/92, MARCH 27, 1992 A-41 33. DEMOLITION, FORMER DOMTAR PROPERTY ICONTD.1 -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. CARRIED BACKGROUND At the Executive Meeting #1/92 held on March 13th, the following resolution was adopted: "THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the staff contact the Municipality of East York and other interested parties and report to Authority Meeting #2/92, to be held March 27, 1992, on the demolition of the smoke stacks at the Domtar site." 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 previously 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 has notified 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. 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 established 'on the site in question in 1858, 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. 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. Preliminary cost estimates associated with stabilizing the chimney and the adjacent building range from $50,000 for the Chimney alone, to $250,000 for the chimney and the adjacent boiler room. Demolition costs for the building and the chimney are minimal, however, the bOiler which is still on site has been found to contain some asbestos insulation in its interior which will be expenSive to remove. Staff are considering the possibility of permanently closing the boiler room in a way which would entomb the boiler, and therefore, avoid the cost of additional asbestos removal. In this way, the cost of carrying out the demolition work and additional work involved with total asbestos removal can be reduced by $34,000. It is believed that the Chimney is structurally sound, although further investigations are underway to confirm the condition. It does require extensive masonry work to repoint and replace many of the exterior bricks. It is likely that some banding will also be required. A-42 AUTHORITY MEETING #2/92, MARCH 27, 1992 33. DEMOLITION, FORMER DOMTAR PROPERTY (CONTD.1 -Don River Valley, Beechwood Drive, East York RATIONALE Given the concerns expressed by a number of individuals regarding the heritage value of the smoke stack, it seems prudent to avoid demolition at least until a more complete assessment of the heritage value of this structure has been completed. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE A structural assessment of the chimney needs to be completed. Metropolitan Toronto, the Authority and other interested parties need to give further consideration to the long term feasibility of maintaining the smoke stack and boiler room. FINANCIAL DETAILS It appears that MTRCA will have approximately $20,000 left within the various allocations associated with the demolition and regulatory compliance concerning the Domtar Site. These funds could potentially be used to offset part of the cost of stabilizing the structures. CARRIED TERMINATION ON MOTION, the meeting terminated at 1 :30 p.m., March 27, 1992. William B.

CARRIED A-85 AUTHORITY MEETING #6/92, JULY 24, 1992 8. OMERS SPECIAL REPORT ON PROPOSED ONTARIO INVESTMENT FUND KEY ISSUE OMERS has prepared a special report responding to the Ontario Government's proposed Ontario Investment Fund and is requesting member support. Res. #114 Moved by: Howard Moscoe Seconded by: Lois Hancey THAT The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority advise the Premier of the Province of Ontario that the Authority strongly opposes any proposal to invest funds from the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System with any purpose, priority or goal other than to fund the penSions of the contributors; THAT the Premier of the Province of Ontario be advised that The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority speCifically opposes the proposal to use OMERS funds to invest in any long term growth industries through a crown corporation as part of an economic renewal strategy; AND FURTHER THAT The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority endorses the efforts of the OMERS Board to resist the proposal of the Provincial Government to use the OMERS pension fund to invest in growth industries in Ontario through a crown corporation and that the OMERS Board be so advised. CARRIED < BACKGROUND The Authority is in receipt of the attached speCial report to Members of OMERS describing the position of OMERS on the proposed Ontario Investment Fund. The OMERS Special Report is self explanatory with the key points of concern being: 111 the Ontario Investment Fund is not necessary; (21 the Board is the trustee of the OMERS fund and legally must invest the fund for the exclusive benefit of OMERS members and pensioners; 131 if the Ontario Investment Fund was established, voluntary participation must be guaranteed. Over the years, the employees of the MTRCA have gained confidence in OMERS' ability to effectively manage their retirement savings. Such confidence was slow in coming. It developed because OMERS was able to demonstrate to its many members that a broadly based and sound investment policy was in place, managed by a joint employee/employer board for the exclusive use of the members. Staff believe very strongly that government interference for whatever purpose in the investment pOlicy of retirement funds will be greeted with cynicism and anger by those who contribute a significant portion of their earnings to these funds. The government's proposed Ontario Investment Fund financed through public sector pension plans will be seen as undue interference by plan members. These difficult times bring enough uncertainties for employees of the Authority and their families without raising concerns about the long term viability of their retirement savings. Staff believe that on behalf of the 252 employees of the Authority who are members of OMERS the Authority should strongly support the pOSition taken by the OMERS' Board of Directors.

Res. #115 Moved by: Howard Moscoe Seconded by: Patrick Abtan THAT the Authority enter into an agreement with the Ministry of the Environment to assist the Ministry in undertaking projects that will promote the Best Management Practices approach to managing stormwater in urban and urbanizing areas; THAT Marshall Macklin Monaghan Limited be retained by the Authority at a cost not to exceed $18,000, to undertake these projects in consultation with the Ministry; AND FURTHER THAT the Provincial Ministry of the Environment provide funding in the amount of $20,000 to cover the cost of the study and the Authority's administration costs. . CARRIED BACKGROUND The Ministry of the Environment IMOEI in cooperation with the Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario IACAOI, other provincial and local government agencies, as well as non-government organizations, such as the Conservation Council of Ontario, is preparing a Stormwater Quality Best Management Practices (BMPI Planning and Design Manual. The MOE contracted with Marshall Macklin Monaghan Limited (MMM Ltd.) to assist them in this endeavour. The Project Advisory Committee has recommended a need for additional meetings with each of the three primary review agenCies in Ontario and an additional workshop involving representatives from those agencies. These meetings are essential to refine and unify existing agency guidelines for BMP implementation. There is currently widespread variation in guidelines due to regional differences, different interpretations of mandate, and the opinions and experience of personnel involved. The additional meetings/workshop would represent an extension to the original MMM Ltd. contract. The MOE has asked the MTRCA to enter into an agreement with them to expedite these activities. As part of the agreement, the Authority has been asked to retain Marshall Macklin Monaghan Ltd. to organize and run the additional meetings and workshops. RATIONALE MTRCA staff represent the ACAO on the Project Advisory Committee for the Stormwater BMP Planning and Design Manual Project. The goal of the project is to develop a manual which will, among other things, follow an ecosystem-based approach, provide technical guidance to regulatory staff, planners and designers of BMPs, and improve the approval process by consistency of BMP selection. As a member of ACAO and a member of the Advisory Committee, Authority staff is very supportive of this project. MTRCA staff endorse the need for these additional agency meetings to provide valuable input to the BMP Manual, and staff support the need to minimize any unnecessary delays that may interfere with the timely production of this manual. The Ministry of the Environment followed its approved Purchasing Policy, which involved a tendering process, when they selected the consultant for the original project contract. Marshall Macklin Monaghan Ltd. was the successful bidder. Authority staff believe that MMM Ltd. should also be retained to carry out these additional meetingslworkshop, which are integral to the original project. FINANCIAL DETAILS The Ministry of the Environment will provide complete funding for this work 1$20,0001, and will reimburse the Authority for administrative costs incurred, in the amount of 10% of the total value of the agreement.

THREE YEAR SALARY AND WAGE PLAN This item was recommended for approval at Finance and Administration Meeting #4/92, held October 2, 1992. KEY ISSUE Resolution #60, Authority meeting #2/92, requires that staff prepare a three year plan for the Salary and Wage Schedule. Res. #160 Moved by: Eldred King Seconded by: Richard O'Brien THAT the Authority's 1992/93 Salary and Wage Schedule not be increased for 1993/94; THAT consideration be given to having the 1994/95 Salary and Wage Schedule be subject to a 0% increase provided the Consumer Price Index is effectively 0%, the average municipal adjustment in the Authority's labour Market Area is 0%; and subject to funding availability. AND FURTHER THAT the Senior Staff group whose salaries were frozen at the 1991 level be at the 1992 level effective April 1, 1993. . CARRIED BACKGROUND At meeting #2/92, held on March 27, 1992, in the process of considering the 1992 budget and the 1992 Salary and Wage Economic Adjustment, the Authority adopted Resolution #6'0 which included a clause reading "that staff prepare a three year plan for the Salary and Wage Schedule." In the course of the discussion of the 1992 Salary and Wage adjustment, a number of members expressed concern that the Authority's recommended Salary and Wage adjustment was considerably less than that of some union settlements and more than the guideline being used by the Province of Ontario. The provincial guideline adopted by the Province in January of 1992 provided for a 1 % increase in 1992 and 2% increases in salary and wages for Ontario civil servants in 1993 and 1994. The Ontario Government settlement also included significant improvements to health and dental benefits, generous provisions for time in lieu of overtime payment and certain guarantees of employment. Municipal negotiations with various unions were on-going at the time the Authority determined the economic adjustment for its staff. In some cases such as Metropolitan Toronto, the union was in the second year of a contract which provided for a salary wage adjustment for union staff of 4.75%. In other jurisdictions, such as Peel and York Region, the municipal councils were endeavouring to hold increases to less than 1 %. ANALYSIS The following is a description of salary and wage settlements given within the Authority's Labour Market Area over the last six years. . . A-ll 9 AUTHORITY MEETING #9/92, OCTOBER 23, 1992 2. THREE YEAR SALARY AND WAGE PLAN (CONTD.) IN THE AUTHORITY'S LABOUR MARKET AREA, THE FOLLOWING SALARY SETTLEMENTS WERE GIVEN: LABOUR MARKET AREA 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 AVERAGE METROPOLITAN TORONTO 4.5 4.0 7.0 7.0 4.95 4.75 5.4 YORK REGION 4.25 4.25 5.9 6.0 4.5 - 5.0 PEEL REGION 4.25 4.25 7.5 7.0 5.0 - 5.6 NORTH YORK 4.5 4.0 6.8 6.7 - 4.6 5.3 SCARBOROUGH 4.5 4.0 7.0 7.0 4.5 4.5 5.25 VAUGHAN 4.75 4.25 6.5 6.5 4.25 4.5 5.1 DURHAM REGION 4.5 4.5 - 6.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 MARKHAM - - 7.0 7.0 4.0 - N/K MTRCA 4.0 4.5 5.8 6.0 4.5 2 4.5 AVERAGE · 4.5 4.2 6.8 6.7 4.6 4.7 · EXCLUDES MTRCA 1992 The following facts form the rationale for the Authority's proposed guidelines. . The average of known settlements in our labour Market Area for 1992 was 4.7% compared with our 1992 economic adjustment of 2%. . The Province's three year guideline of 5% was built on a 1991 average salary adjustment of 7.8%. Our 1991 economic adjustment was 4.5%. . Average annual salary adjustments during the last 6 years in our Labour Market Area were 5.0% to 5.6%. Our average during the same period was 4.5%. In 1993, Authority staff are recommending that there be a zero increase in the Authority's Salary and Wage Schedule. Given the constraints imposed upon the Authority by its municipal funding partners and the provincial government's reduction in provincial grant over the last 3 years, the Authority's ability to fund a meaningful increase in salaries and wages is severely limited. Approximately 1/3 of the Authority's funding comes from its own revenues; Le., admissions, gift shop sales, foods services, etc., and in 1992 weather conditions severely eroded this source of revenue. While some improvement is hoped for in 1993, given the limitations on the other primary sources of funding, it is not possible to provide staff with a meaningful increase in salary and wages. In considering this proposal, Authority staff are aware that in 1992 inflation in the Greater Toronto Region is running at less than 1 %. Predictions for 1993 are that inflation will probably be less than 2% in the Greater Toronto Region. Given the volatility of the national economy and international situations, such predictions for 1993 and 1994 are, at best, questionable. The Authority will have the benefit of knowing settlements in its labour market area among the major municipal employers and some indication of the provinces intentions with respect to the provincial Civil Service. Accordingly, the Authority should be in a pOSition to apply the following guidelines: AUTHORITY MEETING '9/92, OCTOBER 23, 1992 A-120 2. THREE YEAR SALARY AND WAGE PLAN (CONTD.) . that the Authority's economic adjustment to its Salary and Wage Schedule will be 2% in 1992, 0% in 1993, and 0% in 1994; . that the 1994 adjustment shall be conditional upon the Consumer Price Index being effectively 0%, and subject to funding availability; . and further that the 1994 adjustment shall be conditional upon a 1993 average 0% increase among municipalities within the Authority's Labour Market Area. CONCLUSION The effect of this three year plan would be to produce a 2% average adjustment over 3 years assuming inflation in 1994 is at 0%. If the Authority's funding partners proceed to introduce salary and wage adjustments in excess of 2 % over the three years, then the Authority will seek to make the necessary adjustment to bring its Salary and Wage Schedule in line. All of this is subject to. funding availability. In '1993, management of the Authority has no option but to recommend a fiscally prudent salary and wage adjustment which represents a 0% increase over 1992. 3.
