SUPPLEMENTARY PROJECT TO THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION WATERFRONT PROJECT: 1977-l98l A staff communication was presented advising that by Resolution #7l/78 (Meeting #5/78), the Authority adopted the above project as follows: "Res. #71 RESOLVED THAT: Section I of Report #15/78 of the Executive Committee be received; and that the recommendation as contained therein and set forth herein be adopted: l. Report #2/78 Waterfront Advisory Board #2 ~IAT the Supplementary Project to The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Waterfront Project: 1977-l98l, as appended as Schedule "A" of the Minutes of the t'llaterfront Advisory Board Meeting #2/78, be adopted; and THAT the following action be taken: (i) The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Province of Ontario be requested to approve the Supplementary Project to The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Waterfront Project 1977-1981; (ii) The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto be designated as benefiting municipality for the Supplementary Project in the amount of $496,000.00 for each of the years 1979,1980 and 1981; (iii) The Province of Ontario be requested to approve a grant of 50% of the costs associated with the Supplementary Project for each of the years 1979, 1980 and 1981; (iv) The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto be requested to join with the Authority in its endeavour to obtain the 50% grant for the Supplementary Project from the Province of Ontario. CARRIED. A Funding for the Supplementary Project was proposed on the following basis: Province Metropolitan of Year Toronto Ontario TOTAL 1979 $ 496,000. $ 496,000. $ 992,000. 1980 $ 496,000. $ 496,000. $ 992,000. 1981 $ 496,000. $ 496,000. $ 992,000. B-6 -6- The Supplementary Project provides for the continuation of work provided for in the Waterfront Project, displaced as a result of the acquisition of the Guild Inn property in 1978, including the high priority shoreline management work along the Scarborough Bluffs. The Authority is now in receipt of MA 19/79 setting out the Minister's approval of grants for 1979. This approval provides for a $l,400,000.00 grant for the Waterfront which does not include the requested grant for the Supplementary Project. The l-tinister advises that no further funds will be available in 1979. Based on this information from the Province, The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto has deleted its share of the 1979 portion of the Supplementary Project from its 1979 capital estimates, but has retained the 1980 and 1981 portions in its capital estimates. The Authority's 1979 Budget Estimates have been revised to reflect the diminished grants available. Priorities have been adjusted to provide $450,000.00 for shoreline management in 1979. At Meeting #l/79 of the Authority, the following resolution was adopted: "RESOLVED THAT: This Authority direct its Executive Committee to communicate to the Province of ontario, The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Borough of Scarborough its desire to discuss the disposal of a portion of the Guild Inn property in order to finance the continuation of the Authority's waterfront erosion control program. CARRIED;" That the sale of the Guild Inn property to finance shore management works can be contemplated demonstrates the urgency of the shore management problem. The modifications made to the 1979 budget alleviates some of tqe concern, but is, at best, an interim measure, and leaves in an unfinished state other waterfront works now in progress. While there is little possibility of additional provincial funding in 1979, the Supplementary Project should be acted on for 1980 and 1981. Res. #4 Moved by: J.S. Scott Seconded by: Mrs. J.A. Gardner RESOLVED THAT: The staff communication having regard to the Supplementary Project to The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Waterfront Project: 1977- 1981 be received; and THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECO~~ENDS THAT: The Minister of Natural Resources, The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Borough of Scarborough, be advised of Authority Resolution #32/79: "RESOLVED THAT: This Authority direct its Executive Committee to communicate to the Province of Ontario, The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Borough of Scarborough its desire to discuss the disposal of a portion of the Guild Inn property in order to finance the continuation of the Authority's water- front erosion control program." IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED THAT: The Minister of Natural Resources be requested to approve the Supplementary Project to The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Waterfront Project 1977-l98l, and the payment of grants requested therein for the years 1980 and 1981.

CUR R E N T AND CAP I TAL BUD GET EST I MAT E S AUTHORITY PURPOSE, ACHIEVEMENTS AND OBJECTIVES The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has adopted a program designed to further the conservation, restoration, development and management of the natural resources of the 1.339 square miles included in the Authority's area of jurisdiction. The Authority has identified the region's river valleys, the Lake Ontario shoreline and the headwater areas of the Oak Ridges interlobate moraine, and the Niagara Escarpment as the major resources to which its programs are applied. Established resource management programs include flood control and water conservation, erosion control, waterfront devel- opment, and fish and wildlife management. In implementing these programs, 26,137 acres of land have been acquired and, in addition to their being managed for the conservation functions they perform, they are made available to the community for outdoor and conservation education. recreation and historic sites purposes. Within these comprehensive program guidelines, the Authority has. over the years, reflected the priorities and policies of the partners, the participating municipalities and the Province of Ontario as expressed through the representative Authortty members. Since 1957, 66% of the Authority's capital and development budget has been devoted to Water and Related Land ~!anagement, 19% has been devoted to Lake Ontario Shoreline Management, 13% to Conservation and Recreation Land Managemenc and 2% to Outdoor and Conservation Education. The 1979 Budget Estimates for administration. operations and maintenance, current and capital programs reflect the emphasis on Flood Control and Water Conservation. provide for the management of lands and facilities acquired and developed in connection with this program. and continue the approved Waterfront project at a reduced rate. FORMAT OF PRESENTATION These budget estimates are in accordance with the requirements of The Ministry of Natural Resources "Policy. Procedure and Information Manual for Conservation Authorities". There are five major types of Provincial grants available through the Ministry of Natural Resources to Conservation Authorities. l) Administration 4) Special Projects and Programs 2) Water & Related Land Management 5) Supplementary Grants (not applicable to M.T.R.C.A.) 3) Conservation & Recreation Land Management AUTHORITY PROGRAMS 2. The Authority Programs in these Preliminary Budget. Estimates are in seven basic categori~s:- 1) Administration 4) Conservation & Recreation Land Mana~ement Administration a) Conservation Areas - Support b) . Conservation Areas - Development 2) Operations & ~aintenance c) Conservation & Niagara Escarpment Land d) Conservation Area Information & Interpretive Program a) General Operations ~~ ,Rent & Utility Services b) Conservation Area Operations Taxes. Insurance etc... c) Information & Education Operations g) Waterfront - Support d) Black Creek Pioneer Village Operations 5) Special Projects 3) Water & Related Land Management Waterfront Plan a) Operation & Maintenance of Water Control Structures b) Community Relations - Support 6) Historic Sites c) Community Relations - Development d) Taxes; Insurance etc... Historic Sites Development e) Interim Water & Related Land Man. - Current & Capital Expenditures on administration. operations and maintenance and current .programs comprise the Authority's General Levy on all participating municipalities apportioned on the basis of equalized assessment as supplied by the Province of Ontario. Expen- ditures on capital programs are financed as a Capital Levy on municipalities based on levies designated in the specific projects. WATERFRONT PROJECT In 1977 the Authority commenced the second phase of the Waterfront Project. Originally this phase proposed expenditures of $4,400.000 per year over the five year period 1977-1981. Expenditures for 1977 and 1978 were $14,363,475 (including the acquisition of the Guild Inn). The Province has allotted $1.400.000 to this project in 1979. which will permit a total expenditure of $2.800.000. INTERIM WATER & RELATED LAND MANAGEMENT PROJECT The year 1979 is the first year of the three year Interim Water and Related Land Management Project. This project will enable the Authority to establish and undertake a program designed to conserve. restore. develop and manage the natural resources of the Watersheds within the area of its jurisdiction, in accordance with the Water and Related Land Management Plan. 3. The Provincial Cash Flow, which has been authorized for Water and Related Land Management work in 1979. has required a reduction in the Interim Water and Related Land Management Project. The acquisition of flood plain and conservation lands has.been altered to accommodate the reduction. THE 1979 LEVY The apportionment of the 1979 Municipal Levies is based on the 1977 assessment data for 1978 taxation purposes. as supplied by the Province of Ontario. In accordance with the policy adopted by the Authority, the Regional Municipalities of Durham. Peel and York will be levied an amount equal to 100% of the 1978 taxes paid by the Authority for revenue producing conservation areas within those munici- palities. Within Metropolitan Toronto. Authority lands are not subject to taxation.

Section in conjunct- ion with the Water Resource Division, Flood Control Section. Conservation Areas: Development No development has taken place to date as budget approval has jot yet been received from the Ministry of Natural Resources. Operations During the Winter, eight Conservation Areas were open for winter activities. Most staff time was involved with routine operations. The ski programme at Albion Hills operated at capactiy. The Bruce's Mill programme ran below capacity. As this part of the programme becomes better k~own, this situation will improve. The improved ski trails at Palgrave, Cold Creek, and Claremont were well used. This past ski season was shorter than previous years due to lack of snow in early January. The Bruce's Mill maple syrup demonstration was improved with the addition to the sugar shack, an Indiam method exhibit, and a self-guiding'trail booklet. Attendance and product sales have incrased during the first pa~t of the programme. A promotional brochure and flyeD;have been completed for the Claireville canoe programme. Response has been very encouraging with several group book- ings already confirmed. Preparations are now under way for the opening of all Areas for the Spri~g and Summer seasons. To April 1st, 1979, Conservation Area attendance decreased 62,934 or 38.5% over the same period in 1978. This is a result of lack of snow during the early part of the Winter.

The funds which were requested in the Supplementaty Project were intended to allow the Authority to proceed with the shoreline management program, some additional development of the Western Beaches and to start the Colonel Samuel Bois Smith waterfront project. As a result of the Province's decision, these projects will again be deferred. The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto has however, agreed to carry the Municipality's portion of the Supplementary Project in their forecast for 1980-1981- Requests for Provincial contributions to this project will be made again this year for funding in 1980. However, the waterfront project is presently being funded at a level of approximately 2.8 million per year, which will enable the Authority to proceed with the development of Humber Bay and Bluffers Park waterfront areas. In addition, some shoreline management works will be undertaken and the Environmental Monitoring program will be continued. StUdy and design activities related to shoreline management and future water- front projects will also be undertaken. COLONEL SAMUEL BOIS SMITH -The Master Plan for the site has now been approved by the Ministry of Natural Resources and formally submitted to the Ministry of the Environment for approval under the Environmental Assessment Act. It is anticipated that the Ministry of the Environment will advise the Authority in the very near future as to the suitability of the Master Plan'document under the Environmental Assessment Ac~. If the Ministry of the Environment determines that the document addresses all the concerns under the Act, then the Mi~istry will shortly thereafter advise whether or not a public hearing ,will be required. Authority staff anticipate that due to the concern expressed by some local residents, the Ministry will call for a hearing. HUMBER BAY WEST -The landfilling operation was terminated in mid-Februax:y following the completion of the land base as defined in the Master Plan. The total area created as part of Phase II was 43 acres (17.49) , which combined with the lands previously created as part of Phase I, result in the total Humber Bay West project now encompassing 64 acres (25.99) . -The Authority construction activities through 1979 will be confined to the placing of rubble material as a base for the roads .nd parking lots, as well as continuing operations to com~lete the rough grading. . -The major activity at the site in 1979 will be the result of the construction activities of the Humber Bay Boating Federation. The Federation plans to install 460 boat slips this season, and the floating docks required for this project- are presently being pre-fabricated. It is anticipated that the instal'lation of the docks will begin in early May with completion scheduled for sometime in mid-June. HUMBER BAY EAST -The final plans for the pond sy-stem, park buildings" and entrance road and parking lot have been completed and contract specifications are being prepared. It is anticipat~d that tenders' will be called early in May. -The landscaping plans have also been prepared, but funds will not permit this work to be completed in 1979. Final landscaping will be undertake~ tiy the Conservation Land Management Division in the spring of 1980. .. 8-114 TOI THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMDERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, M.T.R.C.A. -:Meeting 115/79 FROMI ADMINISTRATOR, WATER RESOURCE DIVISION RE: WATER RESOURCE DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT From January 1. 1979 to March 31, 1979 Page 7 WESTERN BEACHES -The detailed Master Plan and proposed program of development are nearing. completion. However, discussion with the City,of Toronto officials is ongoing with respect to the proposed development between the Boulevard Club and the Toronto Sailing a~d Canoe Club, a~ well as condit,ions of the transfer of lands to the Authority. BLUFFERS, PHASE II -The landfilling operation during the winter months was confined to the protected area to'be occupied by th6 Bluffers Boating Federation. -Although fill volumes were low through January and February, the volumes increased rapidly following the completion and closing of the Humber Bay West project. Subsequently, an area in excess of 2 acres has been created during' March and April. The total landfill area associated with Blutfers Phase II is now approximately 39 acres (15. 8H) . -The landfilling operation was again shifted to the outer breakwater as of April 16th, and it is anticipated that most of the westerly arm of the break- water will be completed this year. -Predictions of fill volumes are substantially lower than in previous years, but it is hoped that once the weather improves and construction activities increase, a better prediction of fill volumes can b~ made. -Federal funding of the project under the Small Craft Harbours Assis~ance Program has been extended to allow for contributions to the final armouring of Points 8 and 9. To date, the Federal government has agreed to allocate $250,000 to the project, which should be sufficient to purchase all the' necessary armouring materials and tQ transport some of the large armour-stone to the site to be stockpiled. The remaining stone is being stockpiled in the quarries to be transported and placed at a later date, ,either by ~he Federal 90vernment if funds allb~ or by the Authority. -The plans of the Bluffers Boating Federation call for the construction of 120 boat slips in the 1979 season. Materials are presently being stockpiled on the site and it is anticipated that pile driving will begin in the very near future. -One of the major components of the Authority'~ involvement' in the project at Bluffers in 1979 is the construction of two double launching ramps and associated day mooring facilities. The contract for this p,roject was recently awarded to Disher-Farrand Co. Limited with completion schedul.ed' for June 15th. EAST POINT -Discussions. are ongoing with the Authority's 'consultant. Hough 'Stansbury and Associates in an effort t~ .finali~e the Master Plan review and to prepare site plans in preparation for the construction to begin. at 'this site upon completion of Bluffers Park. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING -The final report for the 1978 program has been received and presented to the Waterfront Advisory Board. The outline for the 1979 program has also been prepared and approved. The collection o~ field data will begin on April 18th.

" A SUPPLEMENTARY PROJECT TO "THE INTERIM WATER AND RELATED LAND MANAGEMENT PROJECT 1979-l98l FOR THE DREDGING OF THE KEATING CHANNEL - DON RIVER 1. SUBJECT A Suppleme~tary project ~o the Interim Water and Related Land Management project by the Metropolitan Toronto and Regi~nConservation Authority describing additional work to be carried out and the funding required for the work. 2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION (i) Purpose: The purpose of this Supplementary project is to provide part of the funding required to dredge the Keating Channel at the mouth of the Don River in order to minimize the potential flood hazardJ minimize pollution to the Inner Harbour; and make the northeast corner of the harbour usable for shipping. (11) Backqround: The Keating Channel is the man made mouth of the Don River where it empties into the northeast corner of Toronto's Inner Harbour. Each year about 60,000 cubic meters (m3) of sediment comes down the Don and deposits in the Keating Channel. Along with the sediment comes pollutants which are derived from urban development upstream and adhere to the fine grained sediment which is deposited in the Channel and to those which are carried on out into the Harbour. The deposition of this material wi thin the Keating Channel and the Inner Harbour makes it virtually unusable for shipping. This same siltation restricts the flow' of flood waters and thus greatly increases the potential for flooding particularly as a result of ice jams. When it was dredged, the Keating Channel acted as an effective sedimentation trapJ now polluted sediments flow directly into the Harbour degrading its quality for ancillary recreational uses. (A report by the TOronto Harbour Canmissioners' Engineering ~epartment entitled: "Dredging and Endikement Project" describes the problems in more detail.) In 1972, Canada and the United States signed a joint agreement to improve water quality in the Great Lakes system. One important result was a complete ban on the open water disposal of polluted dredgeate. Up until 1974 the Toronto Harbour CoIIInissioners was able to dispose of the polluted dredgeate in a reasonably economic fashionJ the __.L."-_~ ...__..:1 _.... ...."'_ ....:__ "'!!!U!!I ..~ 'hi........ +'hA ""a...A....;.:al undAr ~'h.A a.dvaIlC!!ina- B-l5(, - 2 - ' fill at the OUter Harbour Headland. However, as a result of the bsn on open water dumping, the dredging was discontinued principally because of the high cost of any acceptable alternatives. (iii) Description of Works: The disposal in a satisfactory manner of the pollu~ed sediments of the Keating Channel is the key to a satisfactory solution to the dredging. The TOronto Harbour commissioners have proposed a new endikement off the south side of the OUter Harbour Headland built of clean trucked fill and armoured with rubble. This spit would serve to contain the polluted dredgeate in order to meet the requirements of environmental agencies. The location shown is the only location where an endiked area, of sufficient size to be economical, could be built and serve as a disposal site for the Keating Channel dredgeate. To date 400,000 m3 of sediment has accumulated in the area to be dredged. To dredge this material and the 60,000 m3 that deposit each year, will require a 7 year phased dredging programme as shQWD on the following table: JWount to Year be DredQ'ed 1979 -60,000 m 3 1980 80,000 1981 120,000 1982 120,000 1983 260,000 1984 120,000 1985 60,000 820,000 m 3 The 7 year programme is required for two reasons:'the first is the rate of development of the endiked area: it will take seven years to enclose an area which will acCOlll'llOdate not only the initial 820,000 m 3 but another 15-20 YC:lars of dredgeate as well: and second: the dredging occurs in a very confined area and equipment must dig itself in on a gradual basis. The detailed phasing of the operation is contained in the -Dredging and Endikement project" report prepared by the Toronto Harbour Commissioners. In brief te~s, ~he material will be dredged with a derrick fitted out with a clamshell bucket and loaded into bottom dumping scows which will be taJcen by tug to the disposal site and released. It is also important to recognize that the dredging requirement will not be complete after 7 years. 3 60,000 m per year will continue to accumulate and arrangements must be made to solve that continuing __...!I~___"""'_...I..-J__ __ """"-'_..L.. ..lL..._...!I___._ _____.___ .!II_ ____ B-l5l - 3 - 3. COST/FINANCING The cost of this project is based on the estimates of the Toronto Harbour Commissioners and will be spread over 7 years as shown below. The costs have been based on $5 per cubic meter and include engineering, dredging, surveying, environmental monitoring, reporting and any special protection required at the , disposal site. No cost is anticipated for the construction of the endikement since a ~5 per truck load disposal charge made by the Toro~to Harbour Commissioners should cover all costs associated with this part of the work. The dredging wi~i be carried out by the Toronto Harbour Commissioners as the , ' proponent; hOJliever, it is recognized that,the'problem is not their entire responsibility and that several areas of the community will benefit from the work. A cost sharing formula has been proposed, therefore, on the following basis: The Toronto Harbour commissioners - one third of total Government of Canada - one third of total The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority - one third of total ANNUAL COSTS Cost for each Year, Total Cost Participant 1979 $ 300,000 $100,000 1980 $ 400,000 $133,000 1981 $ 600,000 $200,000 1982 $ 600,000 $200,000 1983 $1,300,000 $433,000 1984 $ 600,000 $200,000 1985 $ 300,000 $100,000 The Authority will fund the project on the following basis; Province of Ontario 55" Authority Share (Metropolitan Toronto) 45" B-152 - 4 - OVer a 7 year period this means: .

The funding provided as part of the current Interim Water and Related Land Management Project are ccmmitted for flood and erosion control works and acquisition. This Supplementary Project will pr~vide the funds required in order to be able to carry out the dredging work proposed. 4. REVIEW The Toronto Harbour Commissioners, as the implementing agency, will provide t:he Authority with regular progress statements on Which payment will be based. At the end of each year the entire dredging and disposal operation will be reviewed as to accomplishments of the previous year and the ext:ent: of the underta1cing proposed for the subsequent year with a view to cost-s.ving Wherever ppssible. The review will be carried out in conjunction with the Municipal! ty of Metropoli tan Toronto and the Province of ontario. .

INTRODUCTION The Executive Committee of the Authorit~ at its Meeting #20/78,considered a communication from The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation recommending that the Authority consider requesting the Devonian Group of Charitable Foundations for financial assistance for the Black Creek Pioneer Village Visitors' Centre. A design concept for the proposed Black Creek Pioneer Village Visitors' Centre had earlier been considered by the Historical Sites Advisory Board and endorsed for forwarding to The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation. The Authority's Executive Committee and the Foundation did not endorse the design concept. In view of this, in considering the recommendation of the Foundation,the Executive Committee took the following action: "THAT the staff be directed to prepare a report for consideration by the Executive Committee, dealing with the concerns expressed in the consideration of the concept for the Centre, prior tQ the Executive Committee acting on the recommendation of the Foundation." The concerns expressed were as follows: · - the estimated cost was considered to be excessive in relation to the total investment in the Pioneer Village in terms of a fund raising project - the cost of operating the Centre and the potential revenues were not clearly set out - the relationship of the Centre to an updated Master Plan for Village development was not fully addressed - there is an immediate need for improved facilities for food and shelter for school groups visiting the Village and improved facilities for the gift shop and snack bar - although the development of the full facility was not seen as Deinq feasible or desirable in one stage, it was recognized that the capability of the Visitors' Centre to be expanded to include additional facilities to the basic requirements for food, gift shop and shelter was necessary." The purpose of this report is to review the plan of development for the Black Creek Pioneer Village in order to provide a planning context for consideration of the Visitors' Centre and to review the Visitors' Centre proposals in order that the concerns expressed can be addressed. 2. BACKGROUND The Black Creek Pioneer Village began as a project of the Humber Valley Conservation Authority as the Dalziel Pioneer Museum and the Dalziel Conservation Area. When The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority was established in 1957 the work begun in the valley of the Black Creek at the Dalziel site was expanded south of Steeles Avenue with the restoration of a qroup of pre-l867 buildings which were existing on site. 2.1 Report on the Pioneer Village - 1964 A comprehensive report on Pioneer Village was adopted by the Authority'in 1964. The major recommendations of the report, dealt with the followinq matters: - The Metropolitan Toronto and Regio~ Conservation Foundation was requested to explore means of o~taining fin~ncial assist~nce for the completion of the Pioneer Village as a Centennial project - a new fee structure for the Village was ad~pted . - the area north of Steeles A~enue west of Jane Street was desiqnated as an agricultural community and it was recommended that a hardwood bush and field crops appropriate to pre-Confederat~on be est~l~she~ B-155 - 2 - ,_ that the Dalziel Barn be restored to its original condition as a stock barn _ that the Dalziel House be restored when it becomes available _ that a sawmill be established at or near the original site of the mill north of Steeles Avenue _ that the extension of Pioneer Village be undertaken and that the following buildings, in order of priority, be considered: . tavern . printing shop . manse and driveshed . weaver's shed . apothecary shop . gunsmith'S shop . cooperls shop . woodworking shOp . sawmill . dwelling _ that the Authority progressively provide heat to all the major restored buildings, that the restored area be fenced _ that the Village collection be limited to the provision of the necessary articles for exhibiting in the present restored buildings together with future proposed restorations _ that the Authority provide staff for the enlargement of the education program at Pioneer Village - that the Authority establish the necessary utilities (hydro, water and sewer connections) to service the Village. 2.2 Master Plan for the Black Creek Conservation Area - 1964 At the same time that the Pioneer Village's development was being reviewed, the Authority adopted a Master Plan for the Black Creek Conservation Area which is the site of the Village. The Master Plan dealt with the development of the site, traffic, both vehicular and pedestrian, location of the workshop, the adminis- trative building, a reception area and landscape plantings. The major recommendations of the Master Plan were: _ the development of the main vehicular entrance to the Village off of the Murray Ross Parkway and the location of the parking area to the south of the vehicular entrance _ the development of the reception area which would comprise the proposed reception centre with displays, auditorium, offices, lavatories and the entrance court which was to be an open area in front of the reception centre. The entrance court would provide a transition point between the car and the Village and a collection point where families and friends could meet, tours could gather and visitors could rest before and after the tour of the Village _ a workshop and service area fronting on Murray Ross Parkway _ a pedestrian underpass was recommended to connect the Dalziel area and the Village under Steeles Avenue. Figure 1 shows the Master Plan as it was adopted. 2.3 Updated Master Plan - 1968 An addition to the Master Plan was adopted in 1968 dealing with the valleylands south of the Village to Finch Avenue. This plan made provision for: _ foot access from the restored area, York University and the residential areas into the valley - exclusion of all vehicular traffic from the valley, - a valley walkway system _ an area adiacent to Finch Avenue was reserved for the future development - 3 - B-l~6 at the site of the,one time,Indian Village - the construction of a Visitors' Centre was recommended - the construction of the parking area recommended in the original Master Plan providing 750 parking spaces was recommended. 2.4 Report on Black Creek pioneer Village - 1969 This report reviewed the recommendations made in the 1964 report and reported on the progress. The recommendations of the report included the following: _ policy adopted in 1964 regarding the development and operation of the Village was confirmed _ further expansion of the restored area was limited to the completion of the following: . print shop . weaver's shed . Town Hall . gunsmith's shop . and restaurant facilities in the basement of the Half Way House - the staff was directed to study alternative arrangements for the development and administration of lands south of Shoreham Drive - the Authority agreed to continue to subsidize the Black Creek Pioneer Village within budget limits and a concerted effort was made to make as many operations as possible self-sustaining - the office of the senior administrative staff of the Historical Sites Division was to be located at the Authority Headquarters - the Foundation was requested to consider the establishment of an endowment fund for the maintenance of the Black Creek Pioneer Villaqe - 24 hour security and an improved fire detection system was established - the Historical Sites Advisory Board was requested to prepare a report on the feasibility and cost of establishing a pre-l867 narrow-gauge railway at Black Creek Pioneer Village. 2.5 Summary The majority of the recommendations made in the reports dealing with the Black Creek Pioneer Village and the Black Creek Conservation Area have been completed and the Village operates very much as recommended in the various reports. There remains the following major recommendations which have not been completed: - the construction of a Visitors' Centre and reception area - the maintenance building remains on its original site and has not been re-located as recommended in the Master Plan - the valleylands south of Shoreham Drive have not been developed and no suitable management has been achieved. The valleylands between Shoreham Drive and the southerly limit of the Village have been developed as the Peacock Woods and are managed by the Authority - the Indian Village Site remains undeveloped - the small-gauge railway has not been pursued - the restorations which remain to be completed are the Richmond Hill Manse; the sawmill, the Sawyer's House, the Cooper's Shop and the conversion of the Dalziel area to a stock barn and farm. 3. DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF THE BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE The development at the Black Creek Pioneer Village, both the restoration and the area development, has progressed in an orderly fashion over the 22 years since the first visitors came to the Dalziel Pioneer Museum. There has been a very marked relationship between the grow~h of the Village in terms of numbers of restored buildings and growth in attendance. In 1958 there were approximately 17,500 visitors to the Dalziel Museum and attendance has ~teadily cl~mbed to FIGURE 1 'I .....

The visitation made dramatic increases following the opening of the Burwick House, the Dickson Hill School, the Laskey Emporium and the snack bar. There was another major increase in 1967 which was the Centennial year and followed the opening o~ the Half Way House. Attendance increased dramatically again in 1970 following the opening of the Roblin's Mill in 1968 and the Town Hall in 1970. There also were periods of decline following fee increases but in each case, attendance rebounded and continued to climb within two years. Figure 2 illustrates the growth in attendance in relationship to the opening of restored buildings. The Figure also shows the growth in school tours and the craft program. Growth in these areas is not as dramatic because there is a limitation on the numbers that can be accommodated. The relationship between the addition of new facilities and large increases in attendance is an important consideration in assessing future development at the Village. Equally important in assessing future development at the Village are the costs in operation which have accompanied the growth of the Village and the funds available for development. Since 1957 land acquisition and development of the Black 'Creek conservation Area has cost $l,728,500.00. No land has been acquired since 1967 and area development since 1975 has been minimal. Land costs and area development have been funded jointly by the Province of Ontario and the participating municipalities. Over the same period of time the development and restoration of the Black Creek Pioneer Village has cost $1,177,647.00. These are the actual expenditures made on Village building restorations and the acquisition of Village furnishings. The actual value of the Village restoration cannot be calculated because a large portion of the value is represented by donations of buildings and artifacts which have not been valued. A large proportion of the costs in the Village restoration have been met through donations to the Authority through The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation. The municipalities have participated in a small proportion of the restoration cost. Accompanying the growth in visitation to the Village,which has paralleled the growth in the restored area, have been increased revenues and increased operating costs. Since 1975 the excess of cost over operating revenue has averaged $103,000.00 per year. The loss sustained each year varies according to attendance but the general trend is increasing. The excess of cost over revenue is met through the payment of a Museum Grant from the Province of ontario (in 1979 $72,000.00) and a levy on the municipalities (in 1979 $67,000.00). The burden on the municipalities has been significantly reduced by the payment. of the Museum Grant and the addition to revenue of interest from the Black Creek Grow~h Endowment Fund (in 1979 estimated at $lO,OOO.OO). In summary, it is clear that the growth of attractions at the Village does result in increased attendance. It also results in increased operating costs which,when accompanied by consistent inflation, outstrips increasing revenues at an increasing rate. Future development and management of the Village must be directed at offsetting this trend. Steps have already been taken in 1978 and 1979 in the management of the Village to achieve economies in the use of staff, energy, and equipment. Steps have also been taken to significantly increase revenues through the sale of products manufact'ured by the artisan and demonstrator staff. The revenue producing capability', as well as the contribution to increased visitation, of new development at the Village, should be a factor in determining priorities. 4. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS The review of reports prepared on the Pioneer Village set out in Section 2 identified a number of development proposals which had been made for the Village' and not yet completed. This section deals with these. 4.1 Visitors' Centre In all of the rep,orts prepared on the Black Creek Pioneer Village since 1964 the necessity and desirability of a facility, variously described as a reception centre or a visi t:ors' centre, has'been identified. Since 1964 the means of providing such a facility have been given serious consideration on three occasions. The most recent of these is the proposal made to the Historical Sites Advisory Board for a visitors' centre in 1978. A brief description of the - 7 - B-160 status of this proposal will be of assistance. At Meeting .lO/74 of the Authority's Executive Committee the staff were directed to: . "invite proposals from several architects for preliminary design of a Visitors' Centre at the Black Creek Conservation Area and that such centre be so designed that it could be developed on a modular- phasing principle." At Meeting #l6/74 the Executive Committee authorized the selection of the firm of Raymond 'Moriyama Architects and Planners for the design of the Visitors' Centre. In accordance with Executive Committee instructions a conceptual desiqn of the Visitors' Centre was prepared and was considered by the Historical Sites Board at their Meeting il/78, at which time the Advisory Board recommended: -the design concept for the Black Creek Pioneer Village Visitors' Centre be endorsed and forwarded to The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation for consideration." In dealing with this recommendation the Executive Committee at its Meeting .3/78 agreed to forward it to the Foundation for review and comment but declined to take any further action. The Foundation reviewed the proposal and declined to take any action. The main points of discussion concerninq the Visitors' Centre proposal were outlined in Section 1 of this report. The concept for the Black Creek Pioneer Village Visitors' Centre as prepared by Raymond Moriyama Architects and Planners was designed to be built in two phases. Phase I of the proposal involved 23,890 square feet and provided for an entrance area, student assembly area, washrooms, access corridor, gift shop and storaqe, cafeteria and kitchen, concession area and service and utility area. Phase II of the proposal provided an administration area, museum space, work- shOp, two theatres, a dining room, additional washrooms, storage area and a continuation of the access corridor. The Executive Committee and the Foundation felt that the cost of the project was excessive. The maintenance and operating costs of the facility and the revenues it was expected to generate were not included in the proposal. A staff study has now been completed on operating costs and anticipated revenues and is attached as Appendix 1 of this report. In summary the staff study concludes that without the addition of the Visitors' Centre, the visitation to the Village is likely to remain at its present level of approximately 300,000 per year. With the addition of the Visitors' Centre visitation to the Village could be expected to increase by approximately 30% at the end of a five year period. The increases in visitation anticipated would be related to year-round dining facilities, improved accommodations for inclement weather and winter activities, facilities suitable for increasing the business volume related to special functions, particularly weddings, and the attraction of the facility and the capability of the museum and theatre component for special shows. This is a realistic estimate and is substantiated by the increases in attendance which were noted in earlier years when major facilities were added. There would be a corresponding increase in revenues from entrance fees but more importantly, substantially increased revenues from the food and sales outlet components of the Centre. Offsetting the revenues would be the estimated maintenance and operating costs which after a five year period, would be anticipated at $ll3,000.00 per year. At this point the balance of cost to revenue would be favourable. If, in the phasinq of the construction of the Visitors' Centre, those components which produce revenue as well as service were given priority, a cose-revenue balance would be even more favourable. Revenues would be maximized :maintenance 90sts would be in proportion to the square footage built. : From the review of all of the reports dealing with the Black Creek Pioneer Village and the consideration given recently to a Visitors' Centre some principles to guide decisions emerge. - a Visitors' Centre has been recognized at the outset ~s an important asset to the Village both from the point of view of contributing to the quality of the visitor's experience and generating revenues. - the cost of the full facility which is considered desirable and B-16l - 8 - necessary has been a major obstacle. The phasing of the provision of the components which make up the Visitors' Centre should give first priority to those components which offer service and generate revenue. These are ticket collection and student assembly, gift shop and Village craft sales outlet, restaurant and snack bar. The concept which has been prepared for the Visitors' Centre indicates that 14,000 square feet are necessary to accommodate these functions. - a Visitors' Centre facility should have a low architectural profile so as not to dominate the village, provide for a smooth flow of pedestrian traffic, make the revenue producing facilities easily accessible both coming and going into the Village, and be designed to reduce as much as pdssible energy costs. _ the centre should have the capability of being expanded to include the full range of services. _ the cost of the facility constructed in each phase must be within the capability of the Authority. The design concept for the Black Creek Pioneer village visitors' Centre is consistent with all of these principles except that dealing with cost. It would, therefore, be appropriate to consider in the first phase of the Visitors' Centre only those components which provide for student assembly and ticket taking, restaurant and snack bar and the gift shop. These occupy approximatelY l4,000 square feet or 58% of the Phase I proposed in the design concept. 4.2 Maintenance Building and Service Area The existing maintenance building and service area is located in the northwest corner of the parking area adjacent to the pedestrian entrance to the Village. The Master Plan prepared in 1964 recognized that this was an inappropriate location for the service area and recommended that it be located in the south- east corner of the Village grounds. A number of alternative locations for the maintenance building and service area have been considered, none of them being entirely satisfactory in terms of visual impact and beinq well located to properly perform the service function. It has been concluded that the recomm- endation made in the Master Plan to locate the service area in the southeast corner of the Village is the best alternative. 4.3 Valleylands South of the Restored Area to Finch Avenue The valleylands south of the restored area are in two sections: the val.ley south of the restored area to Shoreham Drive and the valley south of Shoreham Drive to Finch Avenue. The section between the restored area and Shoreham Drive has been developed as the Peacock Woods. Because this area does not form a part of the secured area of the Village and is accessible to the public at all times, maintenance has been difficult and litter and vandalism a problem. The area is a very important component of the approach to the Village and will become more important when the Visitors' Centre has been built. The means of including this area in the secured portion of the Villaqe should be investigated. The valley lands of the Black Creek lying south of Shoreham Drive and extending to Finch Avenue have not been developed as recommended in the 1968 Plan. Funds for the development have not been available. The problems of litter, vandalism and motorized vehicles, mainly trailbikes, have been increasing. A large residential community has been developed adjacent to the west bank of the valley and the east bank is bounded by the Authority's Administrative Head- quarters ip the north, York University in the middle section and a residential community to the south at Finch Avenue. The Conservation and Recreation Land Man~gement Plan which is currently being considered by the Authority and member municipalities recommends that this portion of the Black Creek be transferred to Metropolitan Toronto under the Authority's agreement for management by the Metropolitan Toronto Parks Department. Should this recommendation prove to be the most appropriate means of managing this section of the valley, the Authority should retain the right of a connecting access between Black Creek Pioneer ,Vill~ge and Finch Avenue to the location of the Indian Village Site. 4.4 Indi~n Village and Small-Gauge Railway These remain proposals which are not feasible at the present time. No further action concerning them is recommended at this time. 4.5 Restored Area Earlier reports have identified a plan for the restored area including the - 9 - B-162 I REG. MUNIC.

In Section 2.5 it was pointed out that the restorations which remain to be completed are the Richmond Hill Manse, the sawmill, the Sawyer's House, the COoper'$ Shop and the conversion of the Dalziel area to a stock barn and farm. In addition to this, consideration should be given to extending the restored area of the Village northward to the C.N.R. Railway and including a small parcel of land and a period building which is existing on the site, if and when the land and building becomes available. These restorations should proceed as funds become available. 5. RECOMMENDATIONS IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the report of the Black Creek Pioneer Village Develop- ment be received and the following action be taken: (a) THAT a Visitors' Centre at the Black Creek Pioneer Village,to consist of approximately l4,000 square feet and providing accommodation for student assembly, ticket taking, washrooms, cafeteria and snack bar, gift shop and sales outlet, storage and mechanical, consistent with the principles established for the Visitors' Centre,be approved: (b) THAT The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation ,be requested to establish a fund raising program for the Black Creek Pioneer Village Visitors' Centre and that the staff be directed to prepare the necessary display materials for the Foundation: (c) THAT the location of the workshop and maintenance area be confirmed in the southeast corner of the Village property as recommended in the 1964 Plan of Development; (d) THAT the staff investigate the means of enlarging the secured area of the Village to include the valleylands south to Shoreham Drive; (e) THAT,should the valleylands south of Shoreham Drive to Finch Avenue be transferred to Metropolitan Toronto for management under the Authority's agreement, that the right of access from Pioneer Village to the Indian Village Site be retained and that the Indian Village Site be preserved for future study and development: (f) THAT the restoration program at the Black Creek Pioneer Village continue in order to complete the following facilities, Richmond Hill Manse, sawmill, Sawyer's House, the Cooper's Shop and the conversion of the Dalziel area to a stock barn and farm: and that consideration be given to extending,the northern boundary of the Village property to the C.N. Railway line to include the property with the house,which is within the Village period,should the property become available. WAM/mm 1979.05.09.

ADJOURNMENT On Motion, the Meeting adjourned at 1:50 p.m. R. Grant Henderson K.G. Higgs Chairman Secretary-Treasurer 8-189 SCHEDULE A .., TO: The Chairman and Members of the Finance Sub-Committee, M.T.R.C.A. Meeting #3/79 - Thursday, June 7, 1979 FROM: Director of Planning and Policy RE: A PRIORITY RATING SYSTEM FOR ~HE PREPARATION OF TH~ 1980 BUDGET An adoption of the ~ero based budgetting system was introduced for the preparation of the 1979 budget. It is proposed to continue this system for the preparation of the 1980 budget. The experience gained in 1979 showed that some modification would be useful, and would enable a consistent approach to tailoring the budget to the funds available. , . These modifications are as follows: 1) State at the outset the objectives of the Authority for the budget year, as the basis for establishin~ priorities. 2) Employ a matrix analysis system which will enable rating of ,activity priorities within program or project components. This will replace the analysis of the effect of , decreases in budget allocations. OBJECTIVES OF THE AUTHORITY FOR THE BUDGET YEAR 1980 The Mandate and Role statement prepared for conservation authorities establishes two principal objectives for the Authority. (1) "each conservation authority shall study and investigate the watershed and prepare and file with its member municipalities and the Ministry of Natural Resources, a watershed plan." (2) -to develop and implement a program of water and related land management to prevent loss of life and minimize property damage from flooding and erosion in the area over which they have jurisdiction consistent with social, economic and environmental considerations." Priority will be given to established programs, projects, and activities which contribute directly to these objectives, and for which funding or specific commitment exists. In addition, priority will be given to meeting all legal obligations, and fixed costs where no reasonable alternative exists relating to the programs of the Authority. . , The Role and Mandate statement identifies ancillary resource management programs. 1) Identify and conserve those natural resources of regional significance within the area over which they have jurisdiction. 2) Manage lands acquired for the purpose of achieving their objects to produce ancillary resource and recreation benefits compatible with the purpose for which the lands were acquired and consistent with local and provincial demands and priorities. 3) Enter into agreements with appropriate agencies to assume additional water, recreation or resource management responsibilities consistent with local and provincial priorities. Ancillary priority will be given to meeting these objectives. Information and Education programs which do not fall wi thin subsequent categorie,s (second and third priorities) will be considered as falling within the ancillary priorities. Excepting where an existing agreement, commitment or fixed cost extending beyond the current year exists second priority will be given to extendi~g or establish- ing new programs which contribute to priority objectives. Third priority will be given to establishing new programs which contribute to ancillary priority objectives. MATRIX ANALYSIS OF PROGRAM OR PROJECT COMPONENTS Within each program or project the components should be rated using a matrix. There are a number of criteria which can be applied. The following is a suggested order of priority. This may require adjustment depending on the B-190 Finance Sub-Committee Meeting '3/79 A Priority Rating system for the preparation of the 1980 audget paqe 2 program or project. 1) Minimum administration and operation costs required to operate the component, excepting those charged to administration, 2} Studies and design required to implement scheduled works or activityr 3} Scheduled works or activity (sub criteria deqree of objectives "achieved, cost = revenues): 4} Studies and design required to complete programme or project preparation; 51 Land Acquisition - commitments _ required for scheduled works _ flood plain and valley - headwaters, 61 Completion of long term base studies: 71 Continuing long term base studies, 8} Initiating long term base studies. The first draft of the budget is to be prepared by each Division during the ~nth of June for assembly during July and August in preparation to go to the Advisory Boards, as scheduled, in September. In the drafts of the budget prepared by the Divisions, the salary and wage components should be included at 1979 levels. Adjustments will be made for any increases that may be recommended for 1980 following direction from the Personnel Sub-Committee. It is anticipated that the Personnel Sub-Committee would meet in August, 1979. 1979.06.06.

In light of these concerns my predecessor, the Honourable Frank S.

Since implementation of these recommendations could have a far reaching effect on the nature of resource management in the province, 1 want to be assured that all interested parties have an opportunity to input to the review of this document. As a result, the report is being circulated to all Conservation Authorities, all ministries of the provincial government, municipal organizations and other interested groups for review and commen to Based upon this review my ministry will prepare recommendations to the Cabinet regarding the mandate and role of the Conservation Authorities. 1 am particularly concerned that each Conservation Authority and its member municipalities thoroughly review the report and provide me with their comments. In this regard, 1 would request that each Conservation Authority provide copies of the report to its member municipalities, review the recommendations with the municipalities and ensure that municipal concerns and comments are included in the Authority's response to the document. Staff of the Ministry of Natural Resources will be available to assist the Authorities, if required. . . ./2 B-20S -2- May 31. 1979 After discussion with the Executive Committee of the Chairmen's Committee of Ontario Conservation Authorities, it was agreed that responses should be forwarded to Mr. R.

R. Garrett, Administrator, Water Resource Division Re: AQUATIC PARK: RESOLUTION 9F MAIN ISSUES BACKGROUND At its meeting #6/76, the Authority adopted the following recommendations of its Waterfront Advisory Board: "The Master Plan for Aquatic Park be approved in principle and forwarded to The Province of ontario for approval; THAT The Province of Ontario jointly with The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto designate The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority as the implementing agency for Aquatic Park; and SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO: THAT the development of Aquatic Park be funded as part of the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Waterfront project 1977-l98l; THAT the staff be directed to prepare an implementation plan, taking into consideration the comments of all interested agencies for Aquatic Park which sets out those items of development which can reasonably be included within the Waterfront project 1977-l98l, and their phasing, and those items which can be funded by other levels of Government and other agencies, including the private sector; THAT in accordance with the direction of the Ministry of Natural Resources and The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto; the Toronto Harbour commissioners be requested to assume responsibility for the armouring of the outer shoreline, and that the Authority support the Toronto Harbour Commissioners in any submission for funding to The Government of Canada in this connection; THAT the Authority obtain, for a nominal sum, those land and water areas required for the development and operation of the Park; THAT the Authority place the park lands under the existing agreement with The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto for management and operation; and further THAT The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto enter into such tri-party agreements as may be necessary for the management of specific elements within the Park." The Plan was then circulated to Metropolitan Toronto for their. comment and approval. Metropolitan Toronto sent the Plan to the City of Toronto Planning Board for their comments;' these were considered along with those from other interested groups, and on May 3, 1977, the Council of the Muni'cipality of Metropolitan Toronto adopted the following recommendations of their Parks Committee: B-217 To: Executive Committee #10/79 Re: Aquatic Park: Resolution of Main Issues PAGE 2 al. Metropolitan Toronto now recognize the Master Plan for Aquatic Park prepared by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority as an appropriate conceptual aspect of the Metropolitan Waterfront Plan; 2. Metropolitan Toronto now join with The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority in discussions with the Province of Ontario to determine: (a) the disposition of the water lots in and adjacent to the area in question; (b) the degree of financial involvement of the Province in future development of the area; (c) the designation of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority as the implementing agency for development work, and Metropolitan Toronto as an eventual "benefiting municipality", and (d) that title to the land mass be secured by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority at nominal cost to the corporation; 3. Metropolitan Toronto join with The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and the Toronto Harbour Commissioners in discussions with the Federal Government with respect to that government or its designated agency providing shore protection to the south shoreline of Aquatic Park at no cost to the Metropolitan Corporation; 4. The City of Toronto be requested to secure a public roadway to the site prior to any development proceeding; 5. Until the foregoing negotiations are concluded, that Metropolitan Toronto not involve itself financially in any aspect of development or operation; 6. Following resolution of the foregoing, that the development of Aquatic Park be phased as an integral part of Waterfront Development within the financial guidelines established from time to time by the Metropolitan Council; 7. In the context of such Waterfront Development, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority be requested to prepare a phased implementation plan related to the consultants' Master Plan for approval by Metropolitan Toronto and the City of Toronto prior to any work related to detailed implementation proceeding, II ........... Subsequently, the Plan was sent to the Province of Ontario for their comment and approval. On July 4, 1977, The Ministry of Natural Resources responded with approval in principle and designating the Authority as "interim ~plementing agency." Subsequently, on January 24, 1978, the Authority received another letter from the Minister containing Cabinet approval of the Plan and indicating that: n...... title of the lands and waters required for this Park be transferred to the Authority as soon as the matter of armouring the external shoreline by the Federal Government is resolved." S" 218 To: Ex~cutive Committee #10/79 Re: A~atic Park: Resolution of Main Issues PAGE 3 During the interval since approval, another issue has been raised: alleviating the problems caused by siltation in the Keating Channel at the mouth of the Don River. This issue was the subject of a recent report to the Authority which recommended a three party cost sharing agreement for the dredging, with the proviso that the dredgeate could be accommodated in a new endiked area on the south side of Aquatic Park. The attached figure shows the location of the endikement in relation to Aquatic Park. The complexity of Aquatic Park in terms of the agencies involved, the range of uses proposed, the dredgeate disposal area and the City's central waterfront planning process "make it imperative to resolve the ownership and determine how the Park will be developed. RESOWTION OF THE ISSUES The two main issues that need to be resolved to the satisfaction of Metropolitan Toronto and The Ministry of Natural Resources are: 1. Armouring the exterior shoreline at no cost to Metropolitan Toronto or the Province of Ontario. 2. Acquisition of the land base required for the Park by the Authority at a nominal cost. After resolving these issues, the Authority, acting as implementing agency for development, will be able to take full charge of the preparation of an orderly implementation plan for the Park Which meets the desires of Metropolitan Toronto and the City, while at the same time meeting Provincial objectives respecting regional waterfront open space. The Authority has been in discussion with the Federal Government through various departments over the last two years; Fisheries and Environment, Public Works, and Transport, to determine if any funding would be available for the exterior armouring. All have indicated that the chances of obtaining the required $3.5 million are slight. Your staff, after considerable discussion with the Toronto Harbour Commissioners' st~ff have come to the conclusion that the only feasible way to satisfy the armouring requirement at no cost, is to carry out a landfill and rubble operation; realigning the shoreline to a more stable angle and armouring it with demolition rubble. The cost would be paid for by a charge levied against the contractors using the site. This process would not negate the need for land~cape armour stone to cover the rubble and to augment protection where necessary; but it would mean a significant reduction in cost. The only disadvantage with the scheme is timing; it will take ten to fifteen B-2l9 To: Executive Committee #10/79 Re: Aquatic Park: Resolution of Main Issues PAGE 4 years to complete the job, however there does not seem to be any pressing reason for accelerating the armouring at this t~e. The new endikement proposed for dredge ate disposal is on a more stable angle than the original shoreline, and will assist in the long term stabilization process. Once there is agreement at all levels that the foregoing is a reasonable basis to resolve the armouring issue; it is proposed that the Province of Ontario transfer the waterlot for Aquatic Park and the endikement to the Authority for a nominal swn. This will enable the Authority to get on with the planning and development of the Park. Certain changes have occurred since the Authority's development of a plan for the Park. Among these changes are: the dredgeate disposal area, changes in the biological community, and forthcoming policies of the City of Toronto Planning Board. The preparation of the Xmplementation Plan will have to review the original concept in the light of what has happened and develop a plan satisfactory to all government agencies to Which the Authority is responsible. OBLIGATIONS The resolution of the armouring and title issues require the co-operation of the affected parties. They do not work unless all agencies participate. In this regard, there are certain obligations: i) The Toronto Harbour Commissioners undertake the landfilling and rubble operation required to stabilize the west and south shores of the Aquatic Park and the new endikement for whatever term is reqUired, with all costs being recovered from a user charge. It is understood that the Toronto Harbour Commissioners would agree: (a) that all plans for stabilization and for the endikement require the approval of Metro Toronto and the Province of Ontario through the Authority; (b) that all normal costs associated with the landfill operation will be covered, such as: - monthly progress surveys and reports - access maintenance and traffic control - navigation markers - liaison with the Ministry of the Environment; (c) that fill will be provided at no charge to the Authority, as required on a reasonable basis for internal site development of the Park itself. B-220 To: Executive Commi~tee #10/79 Re: Aquatic Park: Resolution of Main Issues PAGE 5 ii) The Toronto Harbour Commissioners is prepared to turn over those of its lands required to accommodate a public road allowance to the Park from Leslie Street. iii) The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto is prepared to administer the inter~ public uses at the site and take over its management when complete via the normal lease arrangement with the Authority. iv) The Province is prepared to transfer a water lot encompassing Aquatic Park and the endiked area to the Authority for nominal cost. v) The Province is prepared to transfer at a nominal cost, the waterlot encompassing the north part of the outer Harbour to the Toronto Harbour Commissioners. vi) The Authority, in accordance with established procedures for waterfront development, will prepare plans for the development of the site and circulate them for approval by Metropolitan Toronto and through it, the City of Toronto, as well as the Province of Ontario prior to carrying out development. vii) The Authority will carry out development as part of the Waterfront Plan on the basis of 50:50 cost sharing between Metropolitan Toronto, the Province of Ontario, and within the priorities for waterfront development as established by the Province of Ontario and Metropolitan Toronto through the Authority. It is clear that planning and implementing development at Aquatic Park is a complex matter. There are many complicating and inter-relating factors which will impact the Authority's involvement at this site. Not all of these ma~ters have been addressed in this report, however, the main issues which need resolution have been, and the solutions proposed are appropriate. It is important for a single agency to take control of what is happening now and What will happen at this site. It is also important that this agency reflect the desires of its contributing municipalities and the Province. The Authority is in a position to be able to perform in this matter if title is obtained. B-221 To: Executive Committee #10/79 Re: Aquatic Park: Resolution of Main Issues PAGE 6 RECOMMENDATIONS WHEREAS the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has now been able to satisfy the conditions of the Province of Ontario and the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto respecting the stabilization of the OUter Harbour shoreline and the title of Aquatic Park on the basis: 1. That the Toronto Harbour Commissioners are prepared to undertake the realignment and stabilization of the south and west shores of the OUter Harbour Headland; and further that this arrangement be formalized in a satisfactory agreement between the Authority and the Toronto Harbour Commissioners. 2. That the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto is prepared to undertake interim management of the site during development and is prepared to operate and maintain the park, when complete, over the long term through the normal lease arrangement with the Authority. 3. That the Toronto Harbour Commissioners is prepared to provide a public right-of-way from the end of Leslie Street to the Park. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT: The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Province of Ontario be advised that the Authority is prepared to undertake implementation planning and development of Aquatic Park and the endikement area as part of its Waterfront Development program; and THAT the Province of Ontario be requested to act on the commitment set out in the Ministry of Natural Resources' approval of Aquatic Park dated December 30, 1977 and transfer title of the lands and waters required for this Park to the Authority for a nominal swn; and subsequently THAT the Authority enter into a ten year lease with the Toronto Harbour Commissioners for the dredgeate disposal areas and endikement area, renewable until the project is complete and stabilization has been achieved to the satisfaction of the Authority as laid down in the agreement; AND FURTHER THAT the Province of Ontario be requested to transfer the waterlot enclosing the ship channels and the north portion of the OUter Harbour to the Toronto Harbour Commissioners for a nominal swn in accordance with the request contained in the Toronto Harbour Commissioners' letter dated December 29, 1976 that "prior to any further development taking place, the Commissioners insist that the allocation of waterlots between the Toronto Harbour Commissioners for Port purposes and the Authority for recreation purposes be agreed upon and completed.

GARRETT, ADMINISTRATOR, WATER RESOURCE DIVISION RE: WATER RESOURCE DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT FROM APRIL 1, 1979 to JUNE 30, 1979 Page 6 WATERFRONT SECTION The Authority received word from the Province early in 1979 that the Supplementary Waterfront Project had not been approved. The funds which were requested in the Supplementary Project were intended to allow the Authority to proceed with the shoreline management program, some additional development of the Western Beaches and to start the Colonel Samuel Bois Smith waterfront project. As a result of the province's. decision, these projects will again be deferred. The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto has however, agreed to carry the Municipality's portion of the Supplementary Project in their forecast made again this year for funding in 1980. The Authority is particularly concerned with additional funds to be allocated for shoreline management and therefore, requested the support of the member municipalities in seeking supplementary funding from the Ministry of Natural Resources. Strong support has been received from Metro Toronto, the City of Toronto, scarborough and Etobicoke. It is now anticipated that a meeting will be held with the Minister, Mr. Auld to discuss this matter.in detail in the near future. COLONEL SAMUEL BOIS SMITH -The Master Plan for the site has been submitted to the Ministry of the Environment for approval under the Environmental Assessment Act, but to date no formal response has been received. It is still not certain if an Environmental Assessment hearing will be required. HUMBER BAY WEST -The total area created as part of the Humber Bay West project is now 64 acres. -The Master Plan shape has been achieved. -The Authority staff and rented equipment have now completed most of the rough grading of the site and the base for the access road has now been placed on the final alignment and base material has been installed in the parking lot and the boat storage area for the Humber Bay Boating Federation. -The Humber Bay' Boating Federation is having a very successful season. Approximately 460 boats are now moored at the site and the waiting list is growing rapidly. It is anticipated that the Federation will easily reach the design capacity of Humber Bay by next season and should be able to undertake the construction of some of the assoc~ated land based facilities. -One of the major components of the 1980 Waterfront Development program will be the armouring and servicing of the Humber Bay site. Design work will begin in the near future. HUMBER BAY EAST -A contract was awarded to M.A. Butt in the amount of $780,722.70 at Executive Committee meeting #8/79 on June 13, 1979 for the construction of the park buildings, foot bridges and other site development features. Construction will be underway by July 20th. -The landscaping plans have also been prepared, but funds will not permit this work to be completed in 1979. Final landscaping will be undertaken by the Conservation Land Management Division in the spring of 1980. The A.uthority staff is presently involved in the maintenance of existing p~ant material and grassed area. B-252 TOl THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, M.T.R.C.A. -Meeting #11/79 FROM: M.R. GARRETT, ADMINISTRATOR, WATER RESOURCE DIVISION REI WATER RESOURCE DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT FROM APRIL 1, 1979 to JUNE 30, 1979 Page 7 -An Authority crew will be on the site in the near future to begin work on the liner of the pond system. WESTERN BEACHES -The Authority's involvement in this area is virtually complete pending a decision on additional funding for the waterfront. -The Sunnyside Pavilion is continuing to deteriorate and since the Authority is unable to undertake the restoration of the building, the City of Toronto Parks Department has carried out some temporary work to protect users of the area. BLUFFERS, PHASE II -Fill volumes continue to be considerably lower than normal, but progress is being made towards the completion of the breakwater. Filling is presently concentrated on Point #9 to prepare for final armouring. -Federal funding of the project under the Small Craft Harbours Assistance Program is being continued to include the armouring of Points 8 and 9. Preparations are currently underway to award a contract for the armouring of Point 9 in the amount of approximately $280,000. Upon completion of this phase of the project, the total Federal expenditures will have reached $1,653,000. -The Bluffers Boating Federation has successfully installed approximately 110 mooring slips during the spring. Many of the docks were pre-fabricated by Pede ration members during the winter months and the piles driven and docks installed by Federation members during April, May and June. If the Authority is able to advance the landfilling suffiCiently by next spring, the Federation should have no difficulty in doubling the eXisting capacity for the 1980 season. -The construction of the launching ramps and day mooring docks is substantially complete with only minor details outstanding. The ramps have been used by the public for several weeks. The construction of the permanent parking lot assoc~ated with the day mooring docks, as well as the extension of the parking area associated with Phase I is underway and should be completed early in August. EAST POINT -Discussions are ongoing with the Authority's consul~ant, Hough Stansbury a~d Associates in an effort to finalize the Master Plan 'review and to prepare site plans in preparation for the construction to begin at this site upon completion of Bluffers Park. -The Easterly Filtration Plant, presently under construction by Metro Toronto, is nearing completion and Authority staff is working closely with representa- tives of Metro Works Dept. to take the maximum advantage of the construction activities ongoing in the area. Considerable volumes of fill and top soil which were surplus from the Metro Works site are available to the Authority for use in the construction of East Point Park. Since the East Point lands were used for storage of fill, materials, etc. during the construction of the Water Plant, the contractors are required to carry out certain works on Authority lands which will assist in the development of the park at no cost. B-253 TO: THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, M.T.R.C.A. -Meeting 1111/79 FROM: M.R. GARRETT, ADMINISTRATOR, WATER RESOURCE DIVISION RE: WATER RESOURCE DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT ,FROM APRIL 1, 1979 to JUNE 30, 1979 Page 8 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING -The collection of field data on water quality, sediment quality, benthos and fish populations is well underway and extensive examination of bottom conditions in the area of East Point Park (by scuba diving) has been carried out by Authority staff and consultants. The work is being done as part of the Master Plan review. -The Ministries of the Environment and Natural Resources. continue to raise concerns about the landfilling process. A technical comittee has been recently established with representatives of the two Ministries and the Authority to review the impact of landfilling. Data collected in previous waterfront monitoring programs is extremely valuable in this process. SHORELINE MANAGEMENT -Preparation of a detailed Master Plan in the Scarborough sector is ongoing. The Authority is awaiting Provincial approval to retain a consultant to examine certain soil mechanics and slope stability questions along the Scarborough Bluffs, aimed at producing recommendations on appropriate construction techniques to stabilize the Bluff face after the toe of the Bluffs has been protected. -Construction of an offshore revetment is presently underway at Crescentwood Park. The work is being done to protect the toe of the fill material . placed by the Borough of Scarborough last fall to save portions of Crescentwood Road and underground services which were threatened. The work is being carried out by rented machines under the supervision of Authority staff. -The contract drawings for protective work along the Eastern Beaches in the City of Toronto have been completed. Unfortunately, the decision by the Province not to approve the Supplementary Project has resulted in insuffi- cient funding to undertake these works in 1979. ~ In N 'I IQ FINANCIAL STATEMENT TO JUNE 30, 1979 Year to Date Commitments Total Approp.

The recent announcement of additional Federal fundinq ensures that no severe cuts will be required from other parts of the proqram to, cover the costs of armourinq at Bluffers Park. However, the over expenditure in the land acquisition component of the proqram, associated with the Sunny Point expropriation settJ:ement, will require a budqet amendment. Althouqh the expenditures for shoreline manaqement appear low, work is underway on several projects. B-255 TO: The Chairman and Members of the Executive Committee, M.T.R.C.A.

TEB/mrp 1979.07.18 B-259 CONSERVATION LAND ~~NAGEMENT DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT JANUA~Y - JUNE, 1979 Conservation Servi~es: Private Land Assistance Programmes Approximately 5,959 deciduous trees and 12,994 shrubs have been planted for private landowners under the Farm Tree and Shrub programme. Reforestation' plantings on private lands increased this year 80%, as approximately 146,000 seedling trees were planted. One reforestation subsidy has been approved for a planting carried out in Uxbridge Township. Five private tree spade rentals have been completed and 6 requests remain on file. Plant progagation programme emphasis has resulted in a 50% increase in plant material available for services programmes. Stream Improvement Stream improvement projects scheduled for the July and August have begun. Six projects are planned. The Stream Enchancement Special Project is being planned and co-ordinated in conjuction with the Ministry of Natural Resources. This project will enable the Authority to carry out additional stream improve- ment projects on cold water (trout) streams within the watershed on private, public and Authority lands. Funding for the projects is available from the S.P.O.F. programme (Strategic Plan for Ontario, Fisheries). This summer a stream assessment programme is being undertaken on the headwaters of the Humber River to assist in priori zing streams for future projects. This stream assessment programme relates to the stream assessment work carried out by the Ministry on the Duffin Creek. Land Use Planning Eight site visits have been carried out ~or private landowners concerned with pond construction and aquatic weed control. One Conservation Plan is being prepared for a landowner in Caledon Township. Eight site visits have been carried out for farm tree and shrub programme, nine for private reforestation, two for private tree spade rental. On June 3, 1979, Conservation Services held a Conservation Field Day at the Palgrave Forest and Wildlife Area, approximately 30 people participated. Promotion of services programmes has resulted in the brochure and fact sheet on urban wildlife enhancement and grassed waterways. Authority Land Forestry Woodlot management has been carried out in the Boyd, Bruce's Mill and Claireville Conservation Areas, with additional work scheduled for Glen Haffy, Heart Lake, and Claremont. Woodlot management was also carried out at Lake St. George. To date, there has been approximately llOcu. meters and 6,OOObd.ft. of sawlogs produced. A portion of the sawlogs were taken to the Kortright Centre sawmill. Plantation management was carried out in a stand on the Gibson Lake property, 55 cubic meters of pulpwood were produced. This summer plantation management plans are being prepared for Glen Haffy, Palgrave and Glen Major. Reforestation trees were planted at Glen Haffy Conservation Area lO,OOO, Bolton Res. 1,500, Gibson Lake 10,000, Heart Lake 2,000, Boyd l,OOO, Lake St. George 2,500, Cold Creek 7,700, Claireville 6,300, Glen Major 2,900, Kortright Centre 3,900. These plantings represent a 50% increase from 1978. Boy Scout groups from York Region planted 20,000 reforestation trees at Claireville. Approximately 3,000 erosion control shrubs were supplied to the Flood Control Section. B-260 Stream Improvement Stream improvement projects are planned for Claremont Conservation Area (Duffin Creek), Humber Trails (Humber River) as well as Albion Hills. Land Management Biophysical inventories are being carried out at Claireville Conservation Area, Boyd Conservation Area, and Greenwood Conservation Area to assist in the preparation of resource management plans for Authority land. Landscaping A landscape project was carried out at the Kortright Centre for Conservation. A tree maintenance programme is being carried out at the Humber Bay Waterfront project. Plantings are anticipated to begin this year at the Thackeray Land- fill site. Conservation Areas: Operations and Development During the Winter, eight Conservation Areas were open for Winter activities. Most staff time was involved with routine operations. The ski programme . at Albion Hills operated at capacity. The Bruce's Mill programme ran below capacity. As this part of the programme becomes better known, this situation will improve. The improved ski trails at palgrave, Cold Creek, and Claremont were well used. This past ski season was shorter than previous years due to lack of snow in early January. On May 31, 1979, an Open House was held at the Claireville Conservation Area to launch the Authority's new canoe instruction and rental programme. As part of the Visitor Services programme a promotional brochure and flyer were circulated to schools, day camps, youth groups, and sports stores. Twenty- eight groups attended day instructional sessions. Two weekend courses and one evening course held were well attended by the general public. To date the weekend rental demand for the 16 canoes and 8 rowboats has been at or near capacity. The preparation of the Conservation Areas for the summer season proceeded on schedule. At Petticoat Creek the p'ool was resurfaced with asphalt and painted. The winterizing procedures carried out have substantially reduced the pre- season maintenance costs of that facility. Forty-two student have been hired under the Experience Programme to assist in routine operations, development and maintenance. This number includes 3 stude~ts who are working in a Visitor Survey of the Conservation Areas. Twenty-four day camps have arranged to utilize Conservation Areas in their summer programmes. Reservations for group picnics have equalled those of 1978. Although the March approval of the Conservation Areas Development Budget delayed,a number of development items, 60 picnic tables were constructed at Petticoat Creek prior to the area's opening, Plans have now been compl~ted for the Campground control building at the Albion Hills Conservation Area which will include accommodation for the campground ~upervisor. Temporary accommodation for the 'Supervisor is being provided in a rented trailer at present. Preliminary plans for the Col~ Creek Trap Control Building were presented to the Conservation Land Management Advisory Board. Plans for the further develo- pment of the rifle range parking lot and gatehouse are underway. B-261 During this period, staff finalized the Interim Conservation and Recreation Land Management Plan. Copies have been sent to the Province of Ontario and the Authority's member municipalities for comment. Staff have been meeting with Town Councils and Planning Boards as requested. To July 1st, 1979, Conservation Area attendance decreased 97,995 or 20.3' over the same period in 1978. 'This is a result of lack of snow during the early part of the Winter combined with a cool Spring.

As such the outline will serve to clarify the Terms of Reference agreed to at that meeting. , This outline addresses, in full, the process which we discussed at that meeting; please note that this outline addresses definitively the first phase of the study which w~ discussed, and provides a general outline of the process which would apply for the second phase as it might be judged necessary and appropriate. This, of course, is due to the fact that the second phase details would be determined by the outcome of the first phase. In this way we will ensure that funds are not expended unnecessarily on non-productive mat(ers, and that the major part of the study is of the utmost possible relevance. We look forward to working with you and your colleagues and staff on this important project. Sincerely, ~ C. W. Birkett Partner . EDMONTON. TORONTO. OnAWA.

I INTRODUCnON The maintenance of an effective organization is dependent upon the balance between its key elements as shown on the facing pagej this maintenance requires review and renewal in all organizations from time to time. In a world where rapid change has become the 'watchword, periodic review of organizations is virtually unavoidable. Changes of a dramatic nature have occurred in the past decade - changes in our economy, changes in our technologies, and changes in public attitudes and expectations. There is every evidence that such change will continue at an accelerated pace and this will impact upon the ability of organizations to continue to manage effectively and efficiently. As well, the changes will impact on the programs and services most organizations are able to offer the public. I The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (M. T .R.C.A.) was created by an Act of the Ontario Legislature which outlines a number of responsibilities of the Authority and defines its constitution, authorities and relationships. The major provisions of the Act have been, and wiU continue to be, central to the operations of the Authority. In the two decades since the Authority was created, it has experienced significant growth in funds, in staff, and in programs. It has demonstrated an ability to react effectively to public expectations and needs, and it has carried through with its original and central mandate relative to flood control and conservation in an exemplary fashion. It has grown to meet demands and opportunities as they have arisen, and there are now questions as to its organizational suitability for the present and the years ahead. It is appropriate, given the nature of our changing times, that the Authority step back and review its organization. its operations and its management systems to ensure their continued effectiveness. and to assure itself of its continuing ability to operate efficiently. HIClClIl1G-JOhnStQn 2. D OBJECTIVES OF THE STUOY The objectives of the study are as foUows: 1. To review the organization of the Authority, its divisions and departments, including the roles and relationships of its key personnel. 2. To review current management mechanisms, inclusive of information and decision-making mechanisms and manpower planning/staffing systems. 3. To make recommendations, as' appropriate, for revisions to, or reorganization of the Authority,ls structure and systems for management. I 4. To make ancillary recommendations for amendments to support systems to improve their effectiveness and their relevance to the emerging organization. HiCklinG-JOhnston 3. m STUDY METHODOLOGY THE PROCESS Hickling-Johnston Limited professionals have extensive experience in the conduct of organizational reviews such as the one being considered by the Authority, and in the development of revised structures and systems for organizations. We are proud of our recognized ability to ensure that effective change occurs and persists as appropriate in the organizations to which we consult. We attribute our unusually high "success rate" to the process upon which we base our consulting activity; this process involves, amongst other things, the development of a working Steering Committee from within the client organization, and careful management of the Committee/consultant interface using the latest technologies in group. decision making. In this case, the Steering Committee must be representative of the major components of the organization, both Board and Staff, and must be credible to the Board if its final recommendations are to be implemented. Members of the Committee can expect to be deeply involved in the study process, with their major responsibilities being: . to ensure that the consultants conduct the study in the agreed manner; . to guide the consultants where necessary in identification of appropriate revisions or additions to the study plan; . to participate actively in making decisions relative to final recommendations; . to act as an interpreter of the recommendations where required to the Authority after the study is compieted and to gain commitment to implementation of the final recommendati~ns adopted. Our experience indicates that the combined Study Team/Steering Committee approach provides the expertise and objectivity of the "outsider" in combination with the experience and understanding of people active in the client organization - this combination results in meaningful and impJementabie recommendations. The ideal number of members 01 the HICk:llnGdOt1ns1on If. Steering Committee is seven to eight; where necessary, and as your committee has suggested, the Committee may consist of two moduJes of this number. The Steering Committee can, during the course of the study, expect to review papers repared by the consultants and participate in such meetings as are indicated in the timetable for the study. As well, Committee members can expect to participate in the making of decisions pertinent to the conduct of the study and finaJ recommendations to the Board. STUDY METHODOLOGY The study will be conducted in two Phases, each Phase having three distinct stages. Phase I The objective of this phase of the study is, in a totally detached and 'objective manner, to determine the major issues facing the Authority and to recommend to the Steering Committee what further detailed study, if any, is required by the consultants and the Steering Committee itself. Stage 1 - Problem Diagnosis In this stage, the consultants wiJJ review available data and information relative to the objectives, programs, operations and systems within the Authority. This data will be gathered in two ways - by review of existing documentation and by interview of key personnel. We anticipate that approximately twenty to twenty-five people, including representatives of the Board and senior staff, together with key external people in Government will be interviewed. The objective of these confidential and detailed interviews is to identify tile perceptions regarding issues and opportunities held by those interviewed. ' Stage 2 - Problem Synthesis Armed with the information and data gathered in Stage I, the consultants wilJ develop a review of the problems and opportunities identified, perform an analysis to propose the rationale behind these perceptions, and identify requirements for further detailed review as deemed appropriate. HICI<lInGJOhnSton ,. Stage :5 - Steering Committee Report The consultants will then prepare a full working paper to serve as an agenda for the first full meeting of the Steering Committee. The p~per wiJI contain the conclusions and recommendations of the consultants ,with respect to Phase II and will be the subject of a full day discussion by the Steering Committee. It is at this meeting that the Committ~e will make decisions with respect to how to proceed to Phase II. We would stress that, at this point in time, the Steering Committee has the option of proceeding to Phase II or of containing the study at this juncture; the latter decisions would presumably be based on the decision of the Committee that no further involvement . of consultants is required. However, it should be made clear that specific recommendations with respect to the resolution of problems that are identified will not be available at this poirU. Phase II This phase represents the major and detailed organizational realignment study, flowing from the directional guidelines of Phase I. This Phase would consist of the foJlowing three stages. Stage 1 - Detailed Problem Definition The specific areas to be investigated, as determined in Phase I would be further reviewed. The Study Team, wiU proceed, having added to itself appropriately skiUed personnel, to a detailed review of data relative to these areas. This will involve deeper probing of available information and interviewing of a number of additional personnel in order to fuJly understand organization roles, relationships, information and other support systems and manpower systems. Particular attention wUI likely be paid to staffing, costing and communication ,systems. Stage 2 - Analysis The Study Team will then perform the organizational analysis required to. define appropriate options available to achieve improvement as deemed necessary. This analysis and option definition will be the subject of a second working paper which will serve as the agenda for a second meeting of the Steering Committee. In this forum, decisions will be made with respect to the best available options for structure, systems or operations. HlCkllnGdOhnSton 6. Stage 3 - Recommendations Given the input of the Steering Committee from the previous Stage, the consultants would proceed to develop detailed recommendations, incJusive of a plan for implementation of the options chosen. This wouJd provide a draft report for review by the Steering <;:ommittee; a finaJ fuJJ day meeting would be held with the Steering Committee. This review would constitute the subject of a final Steering Committee meeting, the purpose of which would be to gain consensus of final recommendations and an implementation plan,to be presented. to the Board.

IV TIMING, STAFFING AND COSTS TIMING We estimate that an elapsed time of approximately five to six weeks would be required to completion of Phase I as proposed. Completion of Phase II is more difficult to estimate in terms of the time required, but our experience would lead us to suggest that this would require an elapsed time of 12 -16 weeks. The attached schedule sets out the project milestones. Assuming approval by August 24, we anticipate being able to begin during the first week in September. STAFFING The nature of Phase I requires that it be conducted by senior and experienced professionals. We, therefore, propose that Phase I be conducted by Dr. C.W. Birkett and Mr. P.J. Irvine. Resumes for each are appended. Phase II would require the involvement of more disciplines from our professional staff, yet it is difficult to determine which professionals are most appropriate prior to the completion of Phase I. We would propose that Phase II would be under the overall direction of Messrs. Birkett and Irvine and that staff would be drawn from the firm as required to appropriately. support consulting in organization, systems, . personnel, and finance. COSTS We estimate. Phase I will cost $9,000 - $11,000 for professional fees. Expenses will be additional and will be billed to you at our cost. They should not exceed $1,000. HICI<lInGJOhnSton I. Phase II could be conducted within a maximum budget 01 $'0,000 for professional fees and $2,000 for direct expenses inclusive of consultant travel, computer time, report preparation and reproduction, etc. With the presently available information, we foreiee that this ph~se will involve realignments to organization, and to individual responsibilities and accountabili ties, plus perhaps adjustments to staffing levels. Concomitantly, it will involve recommended adjustments to paperwork and computer support systems, to align the system with tbe emerging organization and improve communications and reaction time. We do not foresee, nor have we included any budget for, revised compensation systems, the specification and selection of new computer hardware, or the design of software systems. In the unlikely event that these are necessary, a third phase might be necessary. Given this understanding, it is our view that, dependent upon the directions determined for Phase II in the first Phase, the project costs for Phase II could be less than proposed; they are unlikely to be more.

Each Division prepared its budget estimates in accordance with these criteria and the budget has been assembled and reviewed using the same criteria. The criteria established by the Executive Committee as they relate to the order of priority of Authority programs are as follows: A) 1. Studies required to complete the Water~hed Pl~n. 2. Established programs, projects and activities which contribute directly to water and related land management objectives, to prevent loss of life and minimize property damage from flooding and erosion, consistent with social, economic and environmental considerations. 3. Legal obligations and fixed costs where no reasonable alternative exists.

Exceptions - provision is made for $19,000 for exhibits including the C. N . E. Exhibit - an additional secretary for the Land Management Division $11,000 - Waterfront as per approved project. C) Extending or establishing new programs which contribute directly to primary objectives. C Waterfront Supplementary Project $.950,000 C Flood Control - Keating Channel $100,000 C Conservation Services - Forestry Development $ 22,000 These items are funded in projects which the Authority has adopted, but in the case of the Supplementary Waterfront Project and the Keating Channel, Provincial approval has not been given. The Supplementary Project and fores~ry development are considered established items for which administrative cost provision now exists. Administrative costs have been calculated as being 10% over and above program costs. The introduction of the Keating Channel project represents a new venture which will add to administrative costs at the approximate rate of 2% per year for a period of five years. No provision has been made in the Administrative budget for this. D) Extending or establishing new programs which contribute to ancillary objectives. D Community Relations Development - Field Centres (Lake St. George) $ 100,000 - Kortright $ 359,000 0 Conservation Areas Development - $ 126,500 D Historic Sites Development - $ 46,000 0 Land Acquisition Conservation Areas - Not funded 0 Head Office - $ 10,000 D Aquatic Park - $ 50,000 D Organizational Review Study - $ 50,000 D C.N.E. Exhibit - $ 19,000 The programs which are funded as indicated have no increase in levy over 1979. The Lake St. George Field Centre is funded from school board funds. Head Office renovation is funded from special revenues. With the exception of head office renovation costs, all programs in this category are considered to add to overall administration costs. These would accumulate at the approximate rate of 2i per year over a five year period. 1981-1984 MULTI-YEAR FORECAST The Multi-Year Forecast is based on the 1980 Preliminary Budget.Estimates and projects program costs beyond the termination dates of presently approved projects. Since projects have not yet been'developed beyond 1981, the forecasts made,represent the best estimate which can be made at this time,of the funding that programs which are being developed will require. The forecast continues to reflect an emphasis on water and related land management programs. SCHEDULE OF FEES Attached to the Preliminary Budget Estimates for 1980 is the recommended schedule of fees for 1980. The amendments to the. fee schedul~ directly affect the revenue estimates.

PRELIMINARY CURRENT AND CAPITAL BUDGET ESTIMATES AUTHORITY PURPOSE, ACHIEVEMENTS AND OBJECTIVES The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has adopted a program designed to further the conservation, restoration, development and management Qf the natural resources of the 1,339 square miles included in the Authority's area of jurisdiction. The Authority has identified the region's river valleys, the Lake Ontario shoreline and the headwater areas of the Oak Ridges intcrlobate moraine, and the Niagara Escarpment as the major resources to which its programs are applied. Established resource management programs include flood control and water conservation, erosion control, waterfront devel- opment, and fish and wildlife management. In implementing these programs, 26,534 acres of land have been acquired and, in addition to their being managed for the conservation functions they perform, they are made available to the community for outdoor and conservation education, recreation and historic sites purposes. Within these comprehensive program guidelines, the Authority has, over the years, reflected the priorities and policies of the partners, the participating municipalities and the Province of Ontario as expressed through ~he representative Authority members. Since 1957, 61% of the Authority's capital and development budget has been devoted to Water and Related Land Management, 25% has been devoted to Lake Ontario Shoreline Management, 12% to Conservation and Recreation Land Management and 2% to Outdoor and Conservation Education. The 1980 budget estimates for administration, operations and maintenance, current and capital programs reflect the emphasis on Flood Control and Water Conservation, provide for the management of lands and facilities acquired and developed in connection with this program, and continue the approved Waterfront project at a reduced rate. FORMAT OF PRESENTATION These budget estimates are in accordance with the requirements of The Ministry of Natural Resources "Policy, Procedure and Information Manual for Conservation Authorities". There are five major types of Provincial grants available through the Ministry of Natural Resources to Conservation Authorities:- 1) Administration 4) Special Projects and Programs 2) Water & Related Land Management 5) Supplementary Grants (not applicable to M.T.R.C.A.) 3) Conservation & Recreation Land Management , AUTHORITY PROGRA1'fS 2. The Authority Programs in these Preliminary Budget Estimates are in seven basic categories:- 1) Administration 4) Conservation & Recreation Land Management Administration a) Conservation Areas - Support b) Conservation Areas - Development 2) Operations & Maintenance c) Cons.

Expenditures on capital programs are financed as a Capital Levy on municipalities based on levies designated in the specif- ic projects. INTERIM WATER & RELATED LAND MANAGElmNT PROJECT The year 1980 is the second year of the three year Interim Water & Related Land Management Project. This project enables the Authority to establish and undertake a program designed to conserve, restore, develop and manage the natural resources of the watersheds within the area of its jurisdiction. in accordance with the Water and Related Land Management Plan. It is the intention that this Project. together with ongoing works which were initiated under earlier approved projects. shall form a single. consolidated Project. Originally the Project provided for total expenditures of $3,800,000 in each of the three year 1979, 1980 and 1981. Due to cash flow limitations from the Province. the 1979 budget provided for expenditures of $3.598.963 and the attached prelimin- ary budget provides for expenditures of $3,692,800. WATERFRONT PROJECT 3. In 1977, the Authority commenced the second phase of the Waterfront Project. Originally this phase proposed expenditures of $4,400,000 per year over the five year period 1977-1981. Expenditures for 1977 were $2.876,482 and in 1978 $11,486,993 (including $8,500,000 for the acquisition of the Guild Inn). Metropolitan Toronto agreed to increase their share of the levy for this project by $496,000 each year for 1979, 1980 and 1981. Due to cash flow limitations from the Province, the $496,000 matching grant was not available in 1979. The 1980 preliminary budget provides for estimated expenditures of $2,138,250 plus $992,000 for the supplementary project. In , addition. it is proposed to levy an amount of ~185,408 in 1980 to cover deficit in levy for the years 1977, 1978 and 1979. This amount is within the project authorization. THE 1980 LEVY The preliminary apportionment of the 1980 municipal levies is based on the latest equalized assessment figures available to the Authority (1977 assessment data for 1978 taxation purposes) as supplied by the Province of Ontario. These pre- liminary apportionments are subject to revision when current figures are available from the Province- In accordance with the policy adopted by the Authority, the Regional Municipalities of Durham, Peel and York will be levied an amount equal to 100% of the 1979 taxes paid by the Authority for revenue producing conservation areas within those municipalities. Within Metropolitan Toronto, Authority lands are not subject to taxation. (For preliminary budget purposes the 1979 taxes have been estimated, based on 1978 taxes, plus 9%). PROVINCIAL FUNDING The Provincial grant structure used in these estimates is:- Administration 50% Water & Related Land Management 55% Conservation & Recreation Land Management 50% Waterfront Plan 50% The estimates provide for the following increases (decreases) in Provincial Grant:- Administration: 8% over the 1979 grant plus additional grant ($25,000) for Phase II of the Management Study. Water & Related Land Mana~ement: Increases of $80,608 to cover increased costs in the general Water and Land Management activities, ~23,155 for t e Interim Water & Related Land Management Plan and $55,000 for the dredging of the Keating Channel. Conservation & Recreation Land Mana ement: An increase of $23,480 to cover increased costs. (This includes the Water- ront Support .

The revised format shows the preliminary estimates for 1980. The stated objectives of the Multi-Year Forecast are:- (1) To encourage Authorities to plan their activities for the period and to establish priorities. (2) To provide the Province with Authority plans for the period, expressed in dollars with identification of projects having highest priority. (3) To provide an equitable basis for the allocation of Provincial funds. In corr.p1eting the Multi-Year Forecast, Authorities are requested to ensure that;- (1) Provision has been made for all currently planned projects within the planning period. (2) Cost estimates are realistic and projects are economically feasible. (3) Priority and timing of projects is realistic considering the need for prior technical and funding approvals, land acquisition, engineering etc... (4) Funds for the Authority share of expenditures can be raised without undue difficulty. AUTHORITY PURPOSE, ACHIEVEMENTS AND OBJECTIVES The Metropolita~ Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has adopted a program designed to further the conservation, restoration, development and management of the natural resources of the 1,339 square miles included in the Authority's area of jurisdiction. The Authority has identified the region's river valleys, the Lake Ontario shoreline and the headwater areas of the Oak Ridges interlobate moraine, and the Niagara Escarpment as the major resources to which its programs are applied. B, Established resource management programs include flood control and water conservation, erosion control, waterfront develop- ment, and fish and wildlife management. In implementing these programs, 26,534 acres of land have been acquired and, in addition to their being managed for the conservation functions they perform, they are made available to the community for outdoor and conservation education, recreation and historic site purposes. Within these comprehensive program guidelines, the Authority has, over the years, reflected the priorities and policies of the partners, the participating municipalities and the Province of Ontario as expressed through the,respresentative Authority members. Since 1957, 61% of the Authority's capital and development budget has been devoted to Water and Related Land Managemen t . 25% has been devoted to Lake Ontario shoreline management, 12% to Conservation and Recreation Land Management and 2% to Outdoor and Conservation Education. The 1981-1984 Hu1ti-Year Forecast for administration, operations and maintenance, current and capital programs reflect the emphasis on Flood Control and Hater Conservation, Waterfront Development and provide for the management of lands a:ld facilities acquired and developed in connection with this program. FOR}~T OF PRESENTATION The 1981-1984 Hulti-Year Forecast has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Natural Resources "Policy, Procedures and Information Manual for Conservation Authorities" with respect to Administration, Water and Related Land Management and Conservation and Recreation Land Management. Anticipated cost levels for 1980 have been used throughout the Forecast. An inflation factor will be added by the Ministry of Natural Resources in accordance with allowances approved by Management Board.

To provide recreation programs which will provide additional recreational opportunities in selected conservation areas. To provide for increased maintenance required as a result of the continued development of facilities in conservation areas. FUNDING: Program revenues and the General Levy on all participating municipalities. No Provincial Grant is available for this program. Throughout the Forecast, increases in revenues and expenditures at Albion Hills, Bruce's Mill, Cold Creek, Heart Lake and Petticoat Creek reflect increased recreation programs. Expenditure and revenue increases at Claireville result from the expansion of the campground. FINANCIAL COMP~NTS: An increased recreation program is reflected in expenditures and revenues. These programs are self supporting with some net revenue resulting. There fore, any decrease in revenue would result in a similar decrease in expenditures. Because costs of labour and materials will continue to rise during the Forecast period, a general fee increase will be required to retain the General Levy increases at an acceptable level. It is anticipated that this will occur in 1983.

Mee ting #15/1.9, Thursday-October-4-1979 FROM: W.A. McLean, Director, Planning and Policy RE: REPORT OF THE WORKING GROUP ON THE MANDATE AND ROLE OF THE CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES OF ONTARIO In June, 1979, the Authority received the Report of the Working Group on the Mandate and Role of the Conservation Authorities in Ontario. With this report was a request from The Honourable James A.C. Auld, Minister of Natural Resources: "that each Conservation Authority provide copies of the report to its member municipalities, review the recommendations with the municipalities and ensure that municipal concerns and comments are included in the Authority's response to the document". In this connection, the Executive Committee at its Meeting #9/79 held June 27, 1979, resolved: "THAT the communication from The Honourable James A.C. Auld, Minister of Natural Resources and the Report of the working Group on the Mandate and Role of the Conservation Authorities of Ontario be received and appended to the Minutes; and THAT copies of the Minister's letter and the Report be circulated to the Authority's member municipalities for comment by August 15, 1979: and FURTHER THAT following receipt of municipal comments, staff be directed to prepare a report and recommendations for consideration by the Executive Committee." Subsequent to this information being forwarded to the municipalities, the Ministry extended the deadline for comment and the Authority revised its request accordingly to september 21, 1979. Municipal Response: The following municipalities have submitted responses to the Authority's request for comments: Metropolitan Toronto Region of York City of North York Town of Markham Borough of Scarborough Town of Richmond Hill Borough of East York Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville Region of Durham Township of Mono Town of Ajax Township of Adjala. The following municipalities have advised the Authority that comments will be prepared, however, have not been able to supply this information, to date: Borough of Etobicoke City of Toronto City of Mississauga. Of the comments received the following approved/endorsed the position stated by the Working Group or indicated that their municipality had no comment: Township of Adjala (no comment) Town of Ajax (endorsed) City of North York (approved) Borough of East York (support) Town of Markham (endorsed) Town of Richmond Hill (concurred) Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville (no comment). The Region of Durham requested the Minister for an extension to the deadline initially established and recommended: "That the Conservation Authorities, in the preparation of water management projects and other programs be required to work in conjunction and cooperation with municipalities during the formulative stages and that all such plans, projects and programs be circulated to the municipalities for comment on compatibility with municipal plans and financing prior to finalization of the n1"n_ nro;ect or proqram. " B-333 REPORT OF THE WORKING GROUP ON THE MANDATE AND ROLE OF THE CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES OF ONTARIO PAGE 2 The Borough of Scarborough reviewed the report and stated that: "In general we support the conclusions of the Working Group but would comment that the matter of financing should have been given greater consideration. Recommendation: l. That Council concur in principle with the conclusions of the task force. 2. That the revisions of the Planning Act presently under consideration by the Ministry of Housing contain references to the role of Conservation Authorities and provide for the resolution of conflicts and the combining of objectives. 3. That the Task Force be asked that further consideration be given to improved, more reliable methods of financing of Conservation Authority programs, and land acquisition. 4. That these recommendations, together with this report be forwarded to the M.T.R.C.A. in accordance with their request." Metropolitan Toronto referred the working Group report to the Parks, Recrea- tion and Property committee which prepared an analysis of the Report and submitted the following comment and recommendations: "In general terms, the following notes are intended to provide a brief overview of the relationship between Municipality, Conservation Authority, and the Province, in order to attempt to articulate some helpful comments to the Ministry of Natural Resources: _ The prime purposes of a Conservation Authority should be the protection of human life and property organized on the basis of watershed management. _ As an ancillary part of its programmes, Authorities may undertake programmes related to recreation, education, historical programmes, and forestry and wildlife management programmes. - Once an Authority is formed, it becomes an autonomous special purpose body and a mewDer municipality cannot opt out and is bound to contribute its share of various levies. _ If the Authority-member municipality relationship is sound, the Authority will in effect undertake programmes which are acceptable to its members. _ Since a Municipal/Provincial cost sharing basis exists, Authorities are affected by the financial limitations of either party, and these limitations are of prime importance to the operation of an Authority. It must be understood that in general in the 1950's and early 1960's, the limitation on such funding normally existed at the Municipal levell more recently the limitation has been imposed at the provincial level. - As the era of financial restraint has approached, it has become more and more difficult for Authorities, and hence its member municipality representatives, to achieve an acceptable balance between the fundamental programmes of an Authority and its perhaps more visible ancillary programmes. _ The only real opportunity that a member municipality has to influence either the day-to-day or long-term ambitions of the Authority is through its appointed representatives. _ Unless these representatives have a clear understanding of the goals and objectives of the 'member municipality, it is difficult to ensure that the Autho!ity will be so influenced. - It therefore follows that the municipality should clearly articulate its goals and objectives periodically in this regard, and its representatives should be appointed on the basis of their belief in them and willingness to articulate them at Authority meetings. - It also follows that as times change these representatives should _1...____ __-" ,.. _~_"'~~~ ..,,,,,1,.1 ho 11C:OTll1 Tor Council to consider a B-33 9 REPORT OF TilE WORKING GROUP ON THE MANDATE AND ROLE OF THE CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES OF ONTARIO PAGE 3 review of its membership to ensure that there is both continuity with respect to input and, conversely, that the membership is rotated to ensure that current thinking may be introduced. - Finally, it is most important to note that in a relationship such as exists between ~Ietropol i tan Toronto and The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, the Province must be urged to provide additional financing to the Authority for its prime functions. Metropolitan Toronto is impacted by development in surrounding regions, particularly in upstream areas, and watershed management techniques are most critical at this time. In fact, in large part programmes of the Authority are programmes of this municipality and the limitations imposed on funding at the Provincial level are tending to distort priorities as perceived at the Municipal level. A review of the foregoing indicates that, in an era of restraint such as we are now in, it is most important that this municipality clearly articulate its goals and objectives as they relate to The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority for the'coming ten-year period. Your Committee is the appropriate body to undertake this task, together with the staff of the Authority and the staffs of this Department and the Planning Department. It is equally important that Council appoint its representatives to the Authority on the basis of their belief in these goals and objectives and the representatives' willingness to work toward their achievement at the Authority level. Lastly, it is important that the Ministry of Natural Resources understand fully the necessity of providing adequate funding at the Provincial level for the prime functions of the Authority in order that watershed management programmes in Metropolitan Toronto and its surrounding region provide adequate protection for human life and property of Metropolitan citizens. Accordingly, I recommend that: 1) your Committee forward these comments to The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority as input to its response to the Minister of Natural Resources 1 2) your Committee develop a mechanism to provide Council with a statement of goals and objectives for The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority for the period 1981-1990 during the year 1980: 3) following the preparation and approval of this statement by Council, Metropolitan Toronto appointees to the Authority be made on the basis that such members will vigorously pursue these goals and objectives at Authority meetings: and 4) the Minister of Natural Resources be advised that, while this municipality believes in the validity of watershed management by Conservation Authorities, such Authorities must receive increased funding at the Provincial level for their prime function of watershed management if these special purpose bodies are to continue to serve the requirements of their member municipalities." The Regional Municipality of York considered a staff review which presented the following points for consideration: "Since the review does not suggest major changes, its endorsement by Regional Council would support the present role of the Conservation Authorities. Since their operations in the past have on the whole been positive, a general endorsement of the review is recommended. There are, however, some specific issues raised in the report that must be highlighted and in some cases a word of caution raised. 1) There should be a detailed clarification of the Conservation Authorities goals, policies and implementation techniques which should be stated in the Watershed Plan.

B-3 40 REPORT OF THE WORKI~G GROUP ON THE MANDATE AND ROLE OF THE CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES OF ONTARIO PAGE 4 2) It is important to re-emphasize that Regional Council plays an important role in the Conservation movement through funding and the appointment of members to Conservation Authorities. Conservation Authorities should endeavour to keep the Councils of participating Municipalities well informed of their objectives and programs. This communication and cooperation is essential for the efficient and effective conservation of our resources. 3) Many Municipalities have two or more Conservation Authorities within their boundaries. In such a case adjacent Conservation Authorities should cooperate to insure that their approaches and policies are compatible so as not to confuse the public and complicate Regional Land Use Planning. 4) The legislative mandate in the "Conservation Authorities Act" is very broad. The specific responsibilities of Authorities should be established in consultation with participating municipalities." Council subsequently adopted the following recommendations, in this connection: " 1) Planning Committee and Council endorse the comments of its staff regarding this document. 2) Copies of this report be forwarded to both The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and to the South Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority, to the Conservation Authorities' Branch, Ministry of Natural Resources and A.C.R.O. 3) Copies of this report and the A.C.R.O. brief be forwarded to the area municipalities of York for information." The A.C.R.O. brief referred to in this recommendation is that prepared by The Association of Counties and Regions of Ontario. The Minister in circulating the Report of the Working Group also requested comment from a number of municipal associations, one of which was A.C.R.O. While the Authority was not requested by the Minister to include the responses of such groups in its review of the Report, the following summary of the concerns of A.C.R.O. are provided, as information, since they are referred to by the Region of York and have been endorsed by one of the Authority's member municipalities, the Township of Mono. The following points are made in the A.C.R.O. response: - conservation authorities are special purpose bodies viewed with increasing concern by municipalities - conservation authorities should limit their activities to water management - preliminary conservation authority budgets should be circulated to all member municipalities for comment in advance of adoption by an authority - the parks and recreation role of authorities be limited to providing intermunicipal populations with natural resource based opportunities - there is'a serious lack of "local initiative and involvement" in conservation authorities in many parts of the Province - conservation authorities should not have as broad a mandate as stated in the Act, ie. should be concentrating on flood and erosion control and direct water management - supports the preparation of a Watershed Plan but is concerned with its relationship to local official plans - supports the authorities' role in flood and erosion control, however, is not convinced that such a body is the only means of achieving these objectives - while recognizing the "impact of land use decisions on flood and erosion control feels that development control should be achieved through local planning'process: this is also sufficient to protect unique and sensitive resources - authorities should only acquire lands essential for primary objectives and not because they are marginal or for purposes of forest management, fish and wildlife habitat improvement, outdoor recreation or conservation education 8-34 1 . REPORT OF THE WORKING GROUP ON THE MANDATE AND ROLE OF THE CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES OF ONTARIO PAGE 5 _ support the management of authority lands by others for those uses which do not relate direc~ly to flood and erosion control ana wa~er management - strongly opposes the assignment of additional .program responsibilities to authorities _ recommends that all appointees to authorities be municipal elected representatives appointed by municipal councils _ agrees that increased communication with municipalities and the public is required _ believes there should be a clearer delineation of responsibilities between authorities and the district ofjices of the Ministry of Natural Resources and that the Ministry not delegate further responsibility to authorities. Summary: Generally, the Authority's member municipalities have supported and endorsed the Report of the Working Group as a conceptual framework within which the specific areas of Authority activity can be defined. This seems an appropriate response in that the working Group is attempting to produce a general policy document for thirty-nine conservation authorities, each of which will have specific resource management problems to address within their areas of jurisdiction. RECOMMENDATIONS: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the Executive Committee inform the Ministry of Natural Resources of its support of the recommendations of the Report of the Working Group on the Mandate and Role of the Conservation Authorities of OntarioJ and THAT the staff report concerning the municipal responses to the Report of the Working Group be received and forwarded, along with copies of each municipality's individual comment, to the Ministry of Natural ResourcesJ and FURTHER THAT copies of any subsequent municipal replies, received too late for inclusion in this report, also be forwarded to the Ministry. 1979.09.25.

This represents approximately a 35% rate of return which is considered good for a handout survey of this type. Operations During the winter, 8 conservation areas were open for winter activities with most staff time being involved in routine operations. The Albion Hills Ski Program operated at capacity while the Bruce's Mill Program ran below capacity. This latter situation is expected to improve as this program becomes better known. Questionnaires distributed to school and other participating groups indicated a very high level of satisfaction with the program facillties, content and ski staff. The improved ski trails at Palgrave, Cold Creek and Claremont were well used. This past ski season was shorter than previous years due to the lack of snow in early January. The preparation of the Conservation Areas for spring and summer activities proceeded on schedule. The Maple Syrup demonstration at Bruce's Mill was well attended with school groups and general public attendance up 900 and 2300 respectively over the 1978 program. On May 13, 1979, an Open House was held at the Claireville Conservation Area to launch the Authority's new canoe instruction and rental program. As part of the Visitor Services program a promotional brochure and flyer were circulated to schools, day camps, youth groups, and sports stores. Thirty- two groups attended day instructional sessions. Three weekend courses and two evening courses held were well attended by the general public. To date the weekend rental demand for the 16 canoes and 8 rowboats has been at or near capacity. The strong response to this program by both the general public, schools and organized groups resulted in a very successful summer program. There continued to be a very high demand for conservation area facilities by organized group picnics with a total of 609 reservations booked to the end of September. The excellent summer weather during late June and early July resulted in successive Sunday closing of most major use areas and maintained attendance at the record 1978 levels. During the summer, 24 Day Camp organizations made use of conservation area facilities for their programs. Again this year the Experience Program played an important role in helping maintain conservation areas. A total of 43 students were e~ ployed including 3 who conducted a visitor survey. Conservation area swimming facilities were extremely busy throughout the summer. The Petticoat Creek pool winterizing procedures were again suc- cessful and the pool opened on time. However, it was necessary to close the pool on a number of occasions during the summer due to mechanical breakdowns in the plumbing and filtering equipment. Repairs are being carried out this fall in co-operation with the Water Resource Division, Waterfront Section. An upstream sewage treatment plant spill on the east branch of the Humber resulted in the closing of the Boyd swimming area for a period of approximately 2 weeks in early August. This seriously affected the Boyd area attendance. Despite the excellent work performed by our lifeguard staff, there was, unfortunately, a drowning fatality this summer at the Claireville Conservation Area. During the summer, Conservation Area staff, in co-operation with the Property Division have completed property line fencing at Glen Major Forest and Wildlife Area. Similar projects are underway at Nashville Reservoir and Palgrave Area. In preparation for the winter season staff hiring has commenced along with minor alterations to ski trails. Attendance at the Indian Line Campground has been excellent with the camp- ground at or near capacity particularly during August. To date a total of 28 Special Passes distributed at the C.N.E. have been redeemed at Conser- vation Areas. To September 30, 1979, conservation area attendance decreased 69,553 or 6% for the same period in 1978. This is a result of a lack of snow during the early part of the winter and somewhat cool early Spring weather. Summer attendance is slightly ahead of 1978. The following table compares individual area attendance figures with the same period in 1978.

M. R. GARRETT, ADMINISTRATOR, WATER RESOURCE DIVISION RE: WATER RESOURCE DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT FROM JULY 1, 1979 TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1979 PAGE 6 The Authority is particularly concerned that additional funds be allocated for shoreline management and therefore, requested the support of the member municipalities in seeking supplementary funding from the Ministry of Natural Resources. Strong support has been received from Metro Toronto, the City of Toronto, Scarborough and Etobicoke. A meeting was held with the Minister, Mr. Auld and Mr. Godfrey to discuss this matter. Hopefully, the Supplementary Project funding will be available in 1980 and 1981. COLONEL SAMUEL BOIS SMITH PARK The response from the Hinister of the Environment concerning the application by the Authority for the approval of the Colonel Samuel Bois Smith master plan under the Environmental Assessment Act was recently received. It' is the recommendation of the Minister that: n (a) The environmental assessment be accepted: and (b) The undertaking as proposed be refused approval to proceed according to the provisions of section 14 of the Act." The Minister has also recommended that a Hearing be held before the Environmental Assessment Board. HUMBER BAY WEST The total area created as part of the Humber Bay West project is now 64 acres, The Master Plan shape has been achieved. The Humber Bay Boating Federation is having a very successful season. Approximately 460 boats are now moored at the site and the waiting list is growing rapidly. It is anticipated that the Federation will easily reach the design capacity of Humber Bay by next season and should be able to undertake the construction of some of the associated land based facilities. Discussions have been held with the Federation to finalize development priorities for 1980. The Preliminary Budget Estimates provide for interior shoreline stabilization, servicing and completion of grading. Design of these elements is underway and a final decision on the actual development program will be made pending the final budget allocation to be determined early in 1980. HUMBER BAY EAST A contract was awarded to M. A. Butt in the amount of $780,722.70 at Executive Committee Meeting #8/79 on June 13, 1979 for the construction of the park buildings, foot bridges and other site development features. Construction is nearing 50% completion and should be finished on schedule. The landscaping plans have also been prepared, but funds will not permit this work to be =ompleted in 1979. Final landscaping will be undertaken by the Conservation Land Management Division in the spring of 1980. The Authority staff is presently involved in the maintenance of existing plant material and grassed areas. The major development objectives in 1980 will be the completion of landscaping and the paving of the entrance road and parking areas. An Authority crew has substantially completed the liner of the pond system as well as piping for the pond water supply. B-374 TO: THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, <.. M.T.R.C.A. - Meeting #16/79 FROM: MR. M. R. GARRETT, ADMINISTRATOR, WATER RESOURCE DIVISION RE: WATER RESOURCE DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT FROM JULY 1, 1979 TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1979 PAGE 7 WESTERN BEACHES The Authority's involvement in this area is virtually complete pending a decision on additional funding for the waterfront development program. The Sunnyside Pavilion is continuing to deteriorate and since the Authority is unable to undertake the restoration of the building, the City of Toronto plans to refurbish the structure. BLUFFERS, PHASE II Fill volumes have increased in the last two months resulting in good progress being made towards the completion of the breakwater. Filling is presently concentrated along the breakwater between points 8 and 9. Federal funding of the project under the Small Craft Harbours Assistance Program is continuing. Armouring of Point 9 is complete. Stone has been purchased and stockpiled for armouring of Point 8 in 1980. The Bluffers Boating Federation has successfully installed approximately 110 mooring slips. Landfil1ing over the winter months will concentrate on completion of sufficient land base to allow for construction of approximately 140 slips in 1980. Discussions have been held with the Boating Federation to finalize development priorities for 1980. The preliminary budget estimates provide for interior shoreline stabilization, servicing and completion of the landfilling. The construction of the new launching ramps and day mooring docks is complete. The construction of the permanent parking lot associated with the day mooring docks, as well as the extension of the parking area associated with Phase I is also complete with line painting and landscaping around the lots to be finalized in the near future. Installation of permanent underground hydro service is scheduled to start November 5, 1979 with completion by December 1, 1979. EAST POINT Discussions are ongoing with the Authority's consultant, Hough Stansbury & Michalski Ltd. in an effort to finalize the Master Plan review and to prepare site plans in preparation for the construction to begin at this site upon completion of Bluffers Park. The Easterly Filtration Plant, presently under construction by Metro Toronto, is nearing completion and Authority staff is working closely with representatives of Metro Works Department to take the maximum advantage of the construction activities ongoing in the area. Considerable volumes of fill and top soil which were surplus from the ~letro Works site are available to the Authority for use in the construction of East Point Park. Since the East Point lands were used for storage of fill, materials, etc. during the construction of the Water Plant, the contractors are required to carry out certain works on Authority lands which will assist in the development of the park at no cost. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING The collection of field data on water quality, sediment quality, benthos and fish populations is nearing completion and extensive examination of bottom conditions in the area of East Point Park (by scuba diving) has been carried out by Authority staff and consultants. The work is being done as part of the Master Plan review, B-375 TO: THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, M.T.R.C.A. - Meeting #16/79 FROM: MR. M. R. GARRETT, ADMINISTRATOR, WATER RESOURCE DIVISION RE: WATER RESOURCE DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT FROM JULY 1, 1979 TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1979 PAGE 8 Environmental Monitoring (Continued) The Ministries of the Environment and Natural Resources continue to raise concerns about the landfilling process. A technical committee has been recently established with representatives of the two Ministries and the Authority to review the impact of landfilling. Data collected in previous waterfront monitoring programs is extremely valuable in tlrisprocess. The final report is to be prepared by December. \ I SHORELINE MANAGEMENT Preparation of a detailed Master Plan in the Scarborough sector is ongoing. Provincial approval has been received to retain a consult:ant to examine certain soil mechanics and slope stability questions along the Scarborough Bluffs, aimed at producing recommendations on appropriate construction techniques to stabilize the Bluff face after the toe of the Bluffs has been protected. I Construction of an offshore revetment has been completed ~t Crescentwood Park. The work was done to protect the toe of the fill material.placed by the Borough of Scarborough last fall to save portions of CrescentwoodiRoad and underground services which were threatened. The work was carried out;by rented machines under the supervision of Authority staff. The next priority is the KingSbury-Harding area which was partially protected by a program of filling by the Borough of Scarborough over the summer. Although protection of the toe of the newly formed slope is required, staff feel that substantial settlement and slides are inevitable in this area and therefore it is not safe to work in that area at present. Therefore work will now be undertaken at the Eastern Beaches to stabilize the shoreline and provide for re-construction of the boardwalk. This work will be underway by November 1, 1979. txI I PlQ: 9 IN -.J FINANCIAL STATEMENT TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1979 0- Year to Date % of Budget Estimated Total Site Expenditures Commitments Total Approp.

The major difference between the budget and the projected year end expenditures is in shoreline management. This decrepancy is due to several factors. The acquisition of an endangered house was charged to land acquisition rather than shoreline management. In addition, the work at Crescentwood Road was completed for approximately 20% less than budget. There was an allocation for maintenance dredging at Mimico Creek which could not be carried out because of environmental considerations and the filling operation at Kingsbury made it unsafe to proceed with the planned toe protection in that area. 1979.10.17 BED/md The Chairman and Members of the Executive Committee, M.T.R.C.A.

DETAILS (a) Purpose (b) Location and Description (c) Property Acquisition (d) Costs (e) Financing B-395 1. DETAILS (a) Purpose The purpose or these works is to enable the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to ~mplement channel improvements on the East Branch of the Humber River at Oak Ridges in the Town of R~chmond Hill. Completion of this work will offer flood protection for this commun~ty to the 1:100 yr. flood and el~minate a recurrent flooding problem. B-396 I. DETAILS (b) Location and Description The East Branch ot the Humber River flows through the area known as Oak Ridges as shown on F1gure 1 and the work proposed will involve that portion of the Humber River lying between Schomberg Road and a p01nt approximately 600 meters upstream of Bathurst Street as shown on Figure 2. This area, originally located w1thin the Township of King, became part of the Town of R1chmond Hill 1n the Regional Municipality of York under regional government restructuring in 1971. The Oak R1dges area nas been the source of concern for some time due to recurrent flooding. The area is characterized by poor drainage and this comb1ned with flat channel gradients, low streambanks, and local channel constr1ctions are largely responsible for the flooding condit1ons. Rectificat10n of this problem was first studied in 1968 by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. The channel improvements proposed at that time were not carried out due to budget limitations. The flooding however has continued to be of concern to the local res1dents and the Town of Richmond Hill and after several minor attempts on behalf of the Authority to provide some relief without much success, the Authority through discussions with the Town of Richmond Hill agreed to review the situation. Due to the long t1me lapse since the 1969 study and the high cost of the recommended solution, the Authority felt that it was necessary to re-evaluate the problem and to look at alternate remedial measures. Therefore 1n 1978 a review of the flooding problem in the Oax Ridges area was undertaken. A review of the hydrology was undertaken first to verify the design flows and to allow for the increased development in the watershed and channel 1mprovements being carried out by the Town of Richmond Hill upstream of the study area. Flows for the 1 in 5 yr, 25 yr, 100 yr floods as well as the Regional Storm were generated and these were translated 1nto flood elevat10ns throughout the study area. 0 8 ... ~ . >' It . ~ OJ ..

'" Q MAPLE MAJOR MACKENZIE ORIVE tV CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS ON THE EAST HUMBER RIVER AT OAK RIDGES IN THE TOWN OF RICHMOND HILL SEPrEMBER, 1979 FIGURE 1 8-398 I, DETAILS (b) Location and Description (Cont'd) Once the floodlines had been plotted, the extent of flooding under each design floOd could be determined. ThJ.s then enabled the computation of antJ.cipated flood damages associated with the various return period floods. The costs ot the various alternative solutJ.ons could then be compared to the anticipated damages and the economJ.c feasJ.bility of each solution could be determined. From thJ.s analysis, it was shown that a total of 53 buildings would be flooded under the Regional Storm between Yonge Street and Bathurst Street. The 1:100 yr, 1:25 yr, and 1:5 yr floods affected a total of 27, 19 and 9 buildings respectively. The damages associated with the flooding ranged from $210,000 for the Regional Storm to $91,000, ~38,000 and $19,000 for the 1:100 yr, 1:25 yr and 1:5 yr floods. The recommended solution (Figure 2 ) chosen after carrying out the cost benefit analysis provides protection to all structures to the 1:100 yr flood and J.S comprised of channel J.mprovements downstream of Parker Avenue, sJ.lt removal at Schomberg Road culvert and replacement of the Parker Avenue culvert. This aiternative not only meets the flood protection requirements but also ensures the retention of the marsh areas which are important from the residents point of view as well as being envJ.ronmentaily desirable. In discussions with the Town of Richmond Hill regarding this recommended solution, it was determined that the Town would be replacing the Parker Avenue culvert in order to service future development to the north and therefore the Town of RJ.chmond Hill would bear the complete cost of replacing the culvert. As a result, the Parker Avenue replacement was removed from this project. Since one of the main objectives of this study was to develop a solution which would maintain the marsh, any solution proposed had to respect the natural stream grades through the marsh area. Therefore, it is expected that siltation of the natural stream channel and culverts will continue. In order to ensure the continued efficient operation of the works, the Authority intends to monitor the situation and when necessary would carry out on an ongoing basis under its maintenance program, silt removal within the stream channel. The Authority would also advise the Town of Richmond Hill of the condition of their culverts in the area in order that the Town could carry out a similar silt removal program in conjunction with the Authority. . 0 . .

ADJOURNMENT On Motion, the Meeting adjourned at 1:45 p.m., December 5. R. Grant Henderson K.G. Higgs Chairman Secretary-Treasurer B-422 SCHEDULE "A- REPORT ON DATA PROCESSING The staff has given consideration to the use of data processing systems in the Authority's operation. An overview s~udy of our operations indicates that there' is potential for more effective use of staff time, more complete and timely reporting and more effective record keeping with the use of data processing equipment. The overview indicated that the areas in which such equipment may be of assistance are in our cost control and reporting system, accounting system, inventory system, word processing system, information retrieval system and engineering data. The overview has also indicated that, should data processing be found to be cost effective for the Authority, there is a wide range of equipment and systems available. There is also a number of op~ions for the Authority in obtaining data processing equipment. These options include purchase, rental and terminals tied into other private or government systems. The only use the Authority presently makes of data processing equipment is the bookkeeping machine used in the payroll and accounts section and work that is contracted to others for specific projects. The bookkeeping machine is being used to the extent of its capabilities, and further mechanization of office procedures is not possible on this machine. The extent to which the Authority can properly make use of data processing equipment requires professional advice based on a thorough understanding of the Authority's operations. Consulting services are available from a number of sources, including the Province of Ontario and The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, who will provide consulting services based on the equipment and services which they can provide. Advice is also available from the manu- facturers of equipment. Such advice would be best provided by an independent consultant with experience in devising systems for public agencies like the Authority and who can evaluate how the Authority would best be serviced, whether that be tying into an existing government system, making use of private facilities or owning our own equipment. Staff contacted an independent consultant in the field, Gordon Molnar & Associates Limited, and discussed with them the type of information that is required in order for the Authority to make the proper decisions as to the effective use of data processing equipment. A study of the Authority's operations, with the following components, is necessary to analyze the current and future needs of the Authority: (a) Survey the information needs of the Authority in each Division and prepare information requirements; (b) Examine each Division's requirements within the following functional areas: .cost control and reporting system .accounting system .inventory system .word processing system .information retrieval system .engineering system (c) To propose solutions to the problems and needs identified in each functional area that is technically, operationally and economically feasible; (d) To include in the review of solutions an examination of the data processing services which may be available fran the Province of Ontario and the Authority's member municipalities~ (e) To prepare terms of reference for the design and implementation of a system appropriate for the Authority. The consultant has advised that the cost of such a study would be approximately $13,000.00.

Meeting '6/79 - Wednesday, November 28, 1979 FROM: G. Dudar, Administrator, Finance Division RE: Employee Benefits - Leave ~f Absence due to Sickness In reply to the Personnel Sub-Committee's request at Meeting '3/79, "That the staff review the Authority policy having regard to Employee Benefits -Sickness credits as per Authority Resolution '53 including the financing of the liability and report to the Executive Committee." The staff is pleased to submit the following report. The staff has attempted to address itself to two major questions:- a. Whether the present sick leave credits as a short term disability plan provides an employer sensitive shield for all our employees against major financial hardships resulting from absences due to illnesses which does not qualify under the existing Long Term Disability Plan. b. An unfunded liability which has been growing each year and could cause a financial hardship to the Authority if large payouts were required at any point of time. PRESENT SALARY CONTINUATION PLANS AT M.T.R.C.A. 1. Sick Leave Credits: Sick leave credits accumulate at the rate of l~ days per full calendar month in the employ of the Authority. Up until January 1, 1978, this applied to Full Time and Temporary employees. tffective January I, 1978, when categories of employees were changed, accumulation of SIck leave credits applied to Full Time Employees only. 2. Sick Leave Pay-Out a. All Employees appointed to Temporary or Full Time staff prior to January 1, 1976, who have completed two years continuous service, are entitled to a payout upon termination for any reason. The payout is 50% of the employees accumulated sick credits up to a maximum of six months salary. b. All Employees appointed to Temporary or Full Time staff after January 1, 1976, who have completed five years continuous service on the Temporary or Full Time staff, are entitled to a payout as follows: - i. Upon retirement - 50% of the employees accumulated sick credits up to a maximum of six months salary. 1i. Upon termination for reasons other than retirement - 50\ of the employees accumulated sick credits up to a maximum of three months salary, MINIMUM TIME FRAME FOR MAXI~ruM PAY OUT under 2(b) above Employment Maximum # of Sick Maximum Pay Out Period Day Earnings Termination Retirement up to 5 years nil nil 5 years 90 days 45 days 45 days ~years 180 days 63 days 90 days 15 years 270 days 63 days 126 days 20 years 360 days 63 days 126 days B-433 3. Long Term Disability: All employees appointed to the Full Time staff are eligible for Long Term Disability benefits under an Insurance plan for which the Authority pays 100%. Under this plan, an employee who:- a. has been employed on the Full Time Staff for a minimum of three months; b. has been continuously disabled for a period of three months; c. has presented satisfactory medical evidence; and d. is under the age of 65, is eligible to receive a combined disability income, from all sources, to a maximum of 75% of the employee'S usual monthly income with a minimum of 60\ being paid by the Long Term Disability Insurance Plan. NOTE: The maximum payment by the Long Term Disability Insurance Plan is $12,000. per annum (based on 60% of a maximum salary of $20,000.00). Any accumulated sick pay credits are paid to any employee, in accordance with approved Sick Leave Pay Out policies, at such times as the employee is transferred to the Long Term Disability Insurance Plan. The current premium for Long Term Disability Insurance is $1.34 per $100.00 of salary up to a maximum salary of $20,000.00. BENEFIT Cost of Present Sickness Credits Plan 1. Pay out:- 1977 - $42,000. 1978 - $ 8,400. 1979 - $20,000. (budget) 2. Cost and Trends of Paid Sick Leave It is estimated that such costs amounted to at least $40,000. in 1978. A review of paid sick leave during 1978 indicates that, on the average, the following occured:- a. 3.9 days of paid sick leave was taken by all employees; b. 17\ of the employees who took sick days, have taken ten (10) or more paid sick days during the year; c} Of the 17% of the employees, 67% had single illnesses lasting more than five (5) days which is estimated to have cost the Authority about $10,000; d. 29\ of our full time staff have not taken sick days; and e. A review of these costs and trends appear to lead to two conclusions:- 1) The present system of self-administrating the paid sick leave for other than occasional sickness is cost effective. 2) The 3.9 days of paid sick leave taken on average, combined with the high average, representing sickness occurences exceeding each more than five (5) working days and the low percentage of employees who had taken ten (10) or more paid sick days during the year versus our allowed of eighteen (18) days would appear to indicate that our employees are not abusing the system and that the reward for not abusing the system is a well appreciated incentive program. 3. Future Costs: According to the audited financial statements, the unfunded liabilities for sick leave have risen by 44% in 4 years to a level of $483,000. at December 31, 1978 as compared to the balance of $335,000. at December 3], 1974. B-434 It is interesting to note that in 1975 the growth was 20\ while for 1976, 1977, and 1978 the growth was only 5.7%. 9.9\, and 3.4\ respectively. January I, 1976 was the date on which the payout entitlement was changed from two years of continuous service to five (5) years and that upon termination (as opposed to retirement) the maximum payout was changed from a maximum of six (n) months to three (3) months. WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING l. Participating Regional Municipalities a. Sick Leave Credits: Durham, York and Metro Toronto provide for the accumulation of l~ days per month with no further coverage for Short Term Disability. Peel amended their plan in 1975 and provided both a non-cumulative occasional sick day plan administered by each supervisor and a Peel administered Short Term Disability Plan commencing on the fourth day retroactive to the first day with a coverage of 100% for the first two weeks and two-thirds thereafter to a total coverage of 15 weeks at which time a Long Term Disability plan comes into effect. b. Sick Leave Pay Out: York - after 6 months - 50\ - maximum 6 months Durham - after 5 years - 50\ - maximum 6 months Metro Toronto - after 10 years - - maximum 3 months after 15 years - - maximum 4 months after 20 years - - maximum 5 months after 25 years - - maximum 6 months Peel - Upon the discontinuation of Sick Leave Plan, Peel offered to payout the accumulated sick leave over time which averaged four years. The payout per- centage was dependent on length of service within a government with a maximum of 50\ and up to a limit of 180 days. 2. The Province discontinued the accumulating Sick Leave Benefit Program on April, 1978 and replaced it with a Short Term Disability Plan providing 100\ salary for the first six (6) days and 75% salary for the next 124 working days with an option of 100% salary for the 124 days ,with the off-setting reduction in vested accumulated sick leave. The payout of the accumulated sick leave is limited/to half the annual salary and is made on termination. Employees were also provided with a new severance pay scheme encompassing serV1ce years prior to April I, 1978 and subsequent years at a rate of one (1) week per year payable on termination to those employees who have completed at least one (1) year of continuous service and are terminated due to retirement, lay-off, death or resgination due to disability. 3. Industry - 80% of the private sector for management and office functions have opted for self-administered salary continuation plans not based on sick day credit accumulations, with the following reimbursement levels: REIMBURSEMENTS % of TOTAL 100\ 46.3 60\ to 75\ 5.7 Dependent on length of service 30.0 Other Variables 18.0 100.0 B-435 CONCULSION ON BENEFITS The M.T.R.C.A. Sick Leave Credit Accumulation Plan does not provide a Short Term Disability Plan to 311 it~ Full Time empJc~pes. The present plan' could create a financial hardship to a long term dedicated employee except for the ad hoc intervention of the Executive at certain times. Similarly, new full time employees are not effectively covered. In addition, the Staff is substantially less than adequately covered under the Long Term Disability Plan. FUNDING OF SICK LEAVE CREDITS At the present time, the cash accounting basis for the payments of grants by the Ministry of Natural Resources preclude the ~I.T.R.C.A. from recognizing, on a year-to-year basis the increase in vested sick leave. Each year the M.T.R.C.A., during its budget process, includes in its Administration budget the vested sick leave credits for those who are retiring, and an estimate is made for terminations. However, only actual payments are claimed from the Ministry of Natural Resources. The problem of unfunded liabilities for vested sick leave has been recognized by the Ministry of Intergovernmental Affairs as it applies to Municipalities. In July 1979, this Ministry issued preliminary recommendations which, in general, reflect a freeze in the amount of unfunded vested sick leave to the 1978 balance with any increase in vesting reflected as a reserve or reserve fund. In addition they have recommended that a reserve or reserve fund for 50% of past service committments as at December 31, 1978 be established and amortized over a number of years and the municipalities develop a long term policy which would eventually accumulate a 100\ provision of the outstanding past service accumulation. The M.T.R.C.A. has the authority to payout the existing vested sick leave, and discontinue the existing sick leave credit benefit plan. However the questiun is whether the Ministry of Natural Resources will fund their portion of any payout formula developed by M.T.R.C.A. Similarly the establishment of a reserve or reserve fund on any reasonable basis is predicted on the WIllingness of the Ministry of Natural Resources to fund on a basis other than actual payments. It is understood that the Ministry of Natural Resources, in the past, has not agreed to the Reserve concept for grant purposes. SUGGESTED DIRECTIONS 1. Funding: Since the problem is probably Province wide in nature, the medium of the Chairman's Committee could initially be used to approach the Ministry of Natural Resources in developing a solution where funding for a reserve would be provided. 2. Benefits: Staff believes that the financial resources allocated to benefits should be directed in the following areas:- a. To the provision of a Short Term Disability Plan for all our Full Time employees and that the period of coverage be provided until the Long Term Disability Plan takes effect and that such plan continue to be self administered. b. That the level of coverage on the Long Term Disability Plan be increased to reflect the financial needs of staff at times of Long Term Disability. c. That a separate plan for occasional sickneSs be developed and that such plan retain the feature of accumulation and short term payout. d. Present employees of the M.T.R.C.A. have joined the Authority on a basis of an existing benefit plan which provides a substantial financial benefit. Consequently, changes to the level of accumulation should be offset with another benefit program. Consideration could be given to a dental plan which would round out the M,T.R.C.A, benefit plan and bring it in line with other organizations of similar size. B-436 3. In Conclusion: The Staff believes that the Sick Leave Credit benefit plan should be reviewed on the basis of the total benefit package and the task undertaken in conjunction with the recommendation in Meeting #5/79 of the Management Study Review Sub-Committee that: "The Secretary-Treasurer be directed to review the manner in which the Authority remunerates ,all of its staff, inclusive of fringe benefits and to make recommendations as required for revision to the compensation plan." :jh 1979.11.21 :=437 APPENDIX 4 <& the metropolitan torohto and rcg'.m conservation authority PACE' E-13 Personnel Manual EXEOJTIVE N!

Items of note include: two beautiful 1848 samplers, an early Pennsylvania German Dulcimer, a steeple clock, pewter plates, a cook stove, chairs, a cutter, several feather ticks and pillows, and a pair of portieres. A crusie lamp, a betty lamp and a shoulder yoke were acquired for the collection. Black Creek was asked to provide field placement for a student from the Museum Technology Program at Algonquin College in Ottawa. As a result, for four weeks the Registration Department received the assistance of a student whose training in textiles proved to be of great assistance in the Textile Storage project. (b) Publicity and Promotion Artifacts from the collection at Black Creek have been loaned to the Toronto Historical Board, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the North York Library and the Town of Caledon for special exhibits in those locations. In honour of the International Year of the Child, toys from the Village collection were displayed for one week in October in the Yorkdale Mall. The Village was used for several photography projects including a fash- ion layout for T.V. Times of London, England (12 million circulation), a demonstration of horsepower for an Ontario Hydro film on "Motors", some footage on early settlers working for a documentary on dieting, a Christmas baCkdrop for the CHUM/City TV Christmas Wish Campaign, the setting for an edition of C.T.V. 's "Canada A.M." on Christmas Past, and a half-hour program for French C.B.C. TV on Christmas traditions. A mid-December edition of the Aurora Banner ran a full-colour full page picture taken at Santa's Workshop in the Dalziel Barn. Various staff were interviewed on site for a one-half hour program on Christmas at Black Creek on C.K.O. radio; Mr. Cooper has been interviewed twice on the John Bradshaw Show on C.F.R.B., staff have appeared on Cable 10 T.V. in Richmond Hill, C.K.V.R. T.V. Barrie, and C.B.C. - TV News. Village staff have presented lectures to the following organizations: the North York Historical Society, Deer Park United Church, Toronto West Deanery, Club '48 Retired School Teachers, Milton Historical Society, the Museology Program at the University of Toronto, Seneca College (three times), Snelgrove Women's Institute, Markham High School night classes, and North York Kiwanis. Staff members were instructors at two Ontario Museum Association seminars and at the O.M.A. Annual Conference in Barrie. (c) Special Events During the last three months of 1979, 19 weddings were held in the Fisher- ville Church, and Half Way House was the location for 29 receptions and banquets. C.B.C. held its children's Christmas party at the Village and 1,100 attended. The 14th Annual C.F.R.B. Christmas service was taped on December 17th for broadcasting on December 25th. Village staff and livestock participated in fall festivals at Jordan and Doon Pioneer Village. On week-ends during the Christmas program, St. Philip's Lutheran Church choir and the Girl Guides of Canada volunteered their time to sing Christmas carols in the Village. (d) Building Maintenance and Construction The cabinetmaker who restores and refinishes collection furniture has been relocated in the south end of the workshop under the Dominion Carriage Works where a larger working space is available and better ventilation is provided. B-485 - 2 - Reconstruction of the Taylor Cooperage has been 90% completed. Mater- ials donated from a barn in Pickering were used to provide siding and flooring for the Cooperage. A new door into Mackenzie basement has been installed at the 'foot of the stairs to improve climate control in the textile storage area. The two portables have been re-roofed and work has almost been completed for hydro into these buildings. (e) Ground Maintenance and Development There was continued fence building and repairing throughout the Village with special attention to the area around the snack bar in an attempt to improve the appearance of that area. A large new front-end loader has been obtained which will improve Village clean-up and snow removal. All picnic tables (l02) have been removed from the Valley area to the workshop yard for repair and restaining through the winter. As a result of a blockage of a storm drain maintained by the Town of Vaughan, runoff from heavy rain caused part of the Village road under Jane and Steeles to wash out on Christmas Day. It has been filled, graded and restored to use by Village staff. Grading has been carried out to raise the ground level around the Domin- ion Carriage Works and on the east side of the Town Hall to help prevent water seeping into basement rooms. (f) Livestock The poultry population in the Village was reduced for the winter with the excess birds prepared and frozen for use in Village home demonstrations through 1980. This year it has been decided to breed one sow in an attempt to raise our own pigs for next season. The other sows have been marketed. (g) Staff Six staff members attended the Annual Conference of the Ontario Museum Association in Barrie. One staff member, J. Hughes, is president of the O.M.A. Four staff members participated in the pre-conference seminar on Museum gift shops also held in Barrie. Village staff also participate on the executive committees and as members of the Costume Society of Ontario, the Pennsylvania German Folklore Society of Ontario and the York Chapter of the Pennsylvania German Folklore Society.

Expenditures were higher than estimated, but revenues also exceeded expectation~. Attendance in 1979 was 283,255, a drop of 10,000 from the 1978 figures. This decrease can be attributed to a decline of 8,000 in school tours, the energy shortage, the economic slump and to the unseasonable December weather. The Village cit~zenship program had 421 members in 1979. The Dickson's Hill School program continues to be fully booked, and lS classes attended during the fall season. (b) Historical Sites Development The restoration of the Taylor Cooperage is nearing completion. The use of some materials donated by Runnymede Development Corporation, has helped keep costs down on this project. Work on the Sawyer's House is now progressing satisfactorily. Consider- able delays were experienced in the installation of hydro, but as soon as the heating system is completed, the restoration work can be resumed. Some work has been done on the Richmond Hill Hanse restoration, and this will continue in 1980 as funds become available.

M. R. GARRETT, ADMINISTRATOR, WATER RESOURCE DIVISION RE: WATER RESOURCE DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT FROM JANUARY 1, 1979 TO DECEMBER 31, 1979 PAGE SIX 1979 was a relatively successful year for waterfront development in spite of the fact that provincial approval was not received for the Supplementary Waterfront Project. Although funding was not as high as expected, it was possible to make a start on shoreline management work by delaying some site development at Humber Bay and at Bluffers. It is still possible that the supplementary project funding will be available for 1980 and 1981. COLONEL SAMUEL BOIS SMITH PARK The Master Plan was completed in 1978 and submitted to the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of the Environment. MNR approval was received early in 1979. The response from the Minister of the Environment concerning the application by the Authority for the approval of the Colonel Samuel Bois Smith Master Plan under the Environmental Assessment Act was received in September. It is the recommendation of the Minister that: " (a) The environmental assessment be accepted; and (b) The undertaking as proposed be refused approval to proceed according to the provisions of section 14 of the Act. " The Minister has also recommended that a Hearing be held before the Environmental Assessment Board. It appears that the Hearing could commence on April 14, 1980. HUMBER BAY WEST The total area created as part of the Humber Bay West project is now 64 acres. The Master' Plan shape was achieved in February 1979, at which time the landfilling operation was terminated. The Humber Bay Boating Federation had a very successful season. Approximately 460 boats were moored at the site and the waiting list has been cut off at 300. It is anticipated that the Federation will easily reach the design capacity of Humber Bay by next season and should be able to undertake the construction of some of the associated land-based facilities. Discussions were held with the Federation to finalize development priorities for 1980. The Preliminary Budget Estimates provide for interior shoreline stabilization, servicing and completion of grading. Design of these elements is underway and a final decision on the actual development program will be made pending the final budget allocation to be determined early in 1980. HUMBER BAY EAST A contract was awarded to M. A. Butt in the amount of $780,722.70 at Executive Committee Meeting #8/79 on June 13, 1979 for the construction of the park buildings, foot bridges and other site development features. Construction is 85% completed, but delays in supply of certain materials have prolonged the job by approximately two months. Completion is now scheduled for the end of February. Final landscaping will be undertaken by the Conservation Land Management Division in the spring of 1980. The major development objectives in 1980 will be the completion of land- scaping and the Baving of the entrance road and parking areas. \ Authority staff ~nstalled the liner in the pond system as well as the water supply forcemains. The pond system is now operational and is being tested. ( \ " I ) B-494 TO: THE CHAIRMAN AND MEHBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, M.T.R.C.A. - Meeting #21/79 FROM: MR. M. R. GARRETT, ADMINISTRATOR, WATER RESOORCE DIVISION RE: WATER RESOURCE DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT FROM JANUARY 1, 1979 TO DECEMBER 31, 1979 PAGE SEVEN WESTERN BEACHES The Authority's involvement in this area in 1979 was restricted to the completion of a detailed Master Plan. It is planned to include some works in this area in the next Five-Year Project. The Sunnyside Pavilion continued to deteriorate and since the Authority was unable to undertake the restoration of the building, the City of Toronto initiated plans to refurbish the structure. BLUFFERS, PHASE II Fill receipts totalling approximately 300,000 cubic yards resulted in good progress being made towards the completion of the breakwater. Filling was concentrated along the breakwater between Points 8 and 9, as well as the easterly end of the island during the winter months. Federal funding of the project under the Small Craft Harbours Assist- ance Program continued. Armouring of Point 9 was completed. Stone has been purchased and stockpiled for armouring of Point 8 in 1980. The Bluffers Boating Federation successfully installed approximately 120 mooring slips. Landfilling over the winter months will concentrate on completion of sufficient land base to allow construction of approxi- mately 140 slips in 1980. Dil!!cussions have been held with the Boating Federation to finalize development priorities for 1980. The Preliminary Budget Estimates provide for interior shoreline stabilization, servicing and completion of the landfilling. The construction of the new launching ramps and day mooring docks was completed. The construction of the permanent parking lot associ- ated with the launching ramps, as well as the extension of the parking area associated with Phase I was also completed. Installation of permanent underground hydro service to the Boating Federation Island was completed early in December. AQUATIC PARK The future involvement of the Authority in the development of Aquatic Park became more probable in 1979 as the result of a project to construct a dredgate disposal area on the exposed shoreline, which will help to resolve the final armouring issue. Serious discussion related to transfer of title for the area from the province to the Authority also took place in 1979. EAST POINT Discussions will be completed early in 1980 with the Authority's consultant, Hough, Stansbury and Michalski Ltd. , in an effort to finalize the Master Plan Review and to prepare site plans. Construc- tion is expected to begin at this site upon completion of Bluffers Park. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING The collection of field data on water quality, sediment quality, benthos and fish populations was completed in December. A report was prepared by Authority staff and consultants which described an extensive examination of bottom conditions in the area of East Point Park (by scuba diving) . The work was done as part of the Master Plan Review. B-495 TO: THE CHAIRMAN AND HEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, M.T.R.C.A. - Meeting 1121/79 FROM: MR. M. R. GARRETT, ADMINISTRATOR, WATER RESOURCE DIVISION RE: WATER RESOURCE DIVISION PROGRESS REPORT FROM JANUARY 1, 1979 TO DECEMBER 31, 1979 PAGE EIGHT Environmental Monitoring (continued) The Ministries of the Environment and Natural Resources continued to raise concerns about the landfilling process. A technical committee was established consisting of representatives of the two Ministries and the Authority to review the impact of landfilling. Data collected in previous waterfront monitoring programs was extremely valuable in this process. The final report is to be prepared by March 1980. SHORELINE HANAGEMENT Preparation of a detailed Master Plan in the Scarborough sector is ongoing. Provincial approval was received to retain a consultant to examine certain soil mechanics and slope stability questions along the Scarborough Bluffs, aimed at producing recommendations on appropriate construction techniques to stabilize the bluff face after the toe of the bluffs has been protected. Construction of an offshore revetment was completed at Crescentwood Park. The work was done to protect the toe of the fill material placed by the Borough of Scarborough last fall to save portions of Crescentwood Road and underground services which were threatened. The work was carried out by rented machines under the supervision of Authority staff. The next priority is the Kingsbury-Harding area which was partially protected by a program of fill i ng by the Borough of Scarborough over the summer. Although protection of the toe of the newly formed slope is required. staff felt that substantial settlement and slides are inevitable in this area and therefore it was not safe to work in that area. Therefore, work was undertaken at the Eastern Beaches to stabilize the shoreline and provide for reconstruction of the boardwalk. This work will be substantially complete by January 31, 1980. to PRELIMINARY FINANCIAL STATEMENT TO DECEMBER 31, 1979 I ~ \0 0\ Year to Date Estimated Final Estimated Final as per Preliminary Total , of Budget Total Expenditures Site Year End Printout COIIUIlitments Appropriation Budget Used at Dec. 31/79 Colonel Sam Smith 6,008.81 0 6,008.81 50,000 12 6,008.81 Humber Bay West 117,679.06 0 117,679.06 160,000 96 153,143.31 Humber Bay East 820,582.69 88,094.00 908,676.69 950,000 97 918,673.00 Western Beaches 0 0 0 5,000 . 103 5,135.65 Ashbridge's Bay 8,479.90 0 8,479.90 5,000 205 10,263.00 Bluffers Park 645,134.94 36,490.00 681,624.94 740,000 102 756,459.10 East Point Park 34,111. 03 0 34,111.03 20,000 171 34,111.03 Petticoat Creek 5,344.16 0 5,344.16 20,000 88 17,501.48 Studies/Salaries 47,395.32 0 47.395.32 50,000 95 47,395.32 StudiesjMonitoring 43.648.51 0 43,648.51 60,000 89 53,587.66 Shoreline Management 291,535.58 2,603.00 294,138.58 500,000 93 463,955.62 Land Acquisition 321,329.41 0 321,329.41 240,000 144 346,404.41 PROGRAM TOTALS 2,341.249.41 127,187.00 2,468,436.41 2,800,000 100.5 2,812.638.00 COMMENTS: The objectives for Waberfront Planning and Development in 1979 have generally been met. One of the main components which was not undertaken was the Environmental Assessment hearing preparation which had been budgeted for in 1979 but now will not occur until 1980. The over-expenditure at Ashbridge's Bay was due to higher than expected costs of placing and maintaining aids to navigation. The over-expenditure at East Point Park resulted from an approved addition to the work to be undertaken by the Authority's Master Plan consultant, and the over-expenditure in land acquisition resulted from the Land Compensation Board's decision on the Sunnypoint expropriation..

(b) EDUCATION All the Conservation and Outdoor Education Programs are operating near capacity. In the period from January 1st to December 31st, 1979 4145 groups, representing some 103,618 individuals have participated. (i) Albion Hills Conservation Farm The farm at Albion Hills is now in full operation, with a program established for both the field centre in-residence students and outside students. These programs will be further developed during 1980, to provide a broader perspective to a wider range of students. . (ii) Kortright Centre for Conservation The Hon. Robert Welch officiated at the official opening ceremonies on Thursday, June 21st, 1979. Over 900 people were present for that occasion. The Forestry, Fish and wildlife and Water Committees have completed their reports. The Land and Energy Committees are expected to have their respective reports finalized early in the new year. Of ten exhibits scheduled to be designed and constructed by December 31st 1979, only one remains to be completed. There are seven additional exhibits in various stages of design and construction, and their completion is scheduled for June, 1980. The final phase of the Exhibit and Display Program is ready for presentation to Wintario in the near future. Information and directional signs are now in place on all major roads and highways leading to the Centre. The plan for the main entrance and patio area was completed, with the work for the entrance approximately 50% complete and the work for the patio 75% complete. Ten kilometres of nature trails were also completed. ...3... Executive Committee, #21/79 - January 23, 1980 B-499 TO: M.T.R.C.A. I RE: INFORMATION AND EDUCATION DIVISION - PROGRESS REPORT ~ January 1 to December 31, 1979 Page 3 Throughout the year there have been approximately 11,000 students involved in a variety'of education programs, all related to the Kortright Centr'e themes. A group from Quebec, on an exchange basis, visited the Centre to learn about resource management. Over 9,000 members of the general public have visited the Centre during the year. Included are: seminar groups, business meetings and certain special banquet groups. The Fish and Wildlife Agreement between the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Authority was updated in September, 1979 and it is intended that this agreement be the model for any future agreements drawn up between the Authority and a supporting Ministry of organi- zation for further theme support. (iii) Black Creek Pioneer Village - Education Programs The education programs at Black Creek Pioneer village continue to be popular, despite showing some of the effects of the present economic situation and the specific economic situation in the Authority and the School Boards. While there was a decrease in attendance from 1978, the total number of students participating in the village education programs is 60,000. This includes a host of specialized groups such as the disabled, the retarded, the deaf, the blind, the very new Canadians, etc. It is interesting to note that 1979 saw the one millionth participant in the Village education programs since their beginning, twenty years ago. (iv) Lake St. George Conservation Field Centre The opening of Lake St. George, Phase I, scheduled for the fall of 1979, will take place in January of 1980. The construction of Phase II is well under way, with the dormitory shell scheduled to be completed by the end of January. The student participation program for Phase I was very successful and a similar program for Phase II has been established, to commence in early February. Programs have been designed, in conjunction with the participating Boards of Education and are ready for implementation. A residential credit course in the summer of 1980 is proposed, and is currently under consideration. (v) Conservation Field Centres Albion, Boyd, and Claremont Residential Field Centres and Cold Creek Day Centre were all beyond 90% occupancy in 1979. In addition to regular programs, there were: _ a camping program for first-time campers at Cold Creek~ _ credit courses for teachers and others in July, in cooperation with York University and financially supported by a grant from the Canadian National Sportsmen's Show, at Albion Hills: - a specialized program, in cooperation with the United Synagogue Day School (orthodox) , at Claremont; - a program fo r the disabled, in cooperation with the March of Dimes, at Claremont; _ a special program for the Peel Regional Crossing Guards, in cooperation with the Peel Regional police, at Albion Hills; - a group of forestry students from the Faculty of Forestry, University of Toronto, at Claremont; _ a group of secondary level honour math and science students from the Board of Education for the City of North York, at Boyd: ...4... B-500 TO: Executive Committee, l-!.T.R.C.A. #21/79 - January 23, 1980 RE: INFORMATION AND EDUCATION DIVIS,ION - PROGRESS REPORT - January 1 to December 31, 1979 Page 4 - a program for the disabled, in cooperation with the Metro Toronto Schools for the retarded, at Boyd~ - a group ,of English-as-a-Second-Language students from the Metropolitan Separate School Board, at Boyd; - a senior credit course (Grade 11-12) in archaeology, in cooperation with the University of Toronto, the Board of Education for the City of North York and the Ontario Ministry of Education, at Boyd; - a program specially designed for the "Junior Farmers", at Boyd~ - several groups of girl guides, community groups and private groups were accommodated at the various field centres. (c) FINANCIAL COMMENTS A. Operations and Maintenance - Community Relations Expenditures and revenue are in line with budget estimates. At this time, and with the preliminary figures available to us, it would appear that there is a surplus of approximately $11,000. It is anticipated that the operating deficit at Lake St. George, in the amount of $18,500 can be offset from 1980 operating fees as agreed between the participating School Boards and the Authority. The deficit at Boyd, in the amount of $3,600 will be offset by a transfer from the Boyd Trust Fund, made up of previous years' operating surpluses from Boyd operations. B. Water and Related Land Management - Community Relations Program (W10) Kortright Centre - FurniShings, Exhibits & Equipment While only 57% of the budget, or $122,550 was spent on furnishings, exhibits and equipment at the Kortright Centre for Conservation in 1979, this expenditure was coincident with the cash flow available from the Foundation and represents just over ~ the approved Wintario project of $$233,319. Lake St. George - Development The development budget for Phases I and II, including additional expenditures for corrective works related to the requirements of the Ontario Fire Marshal, as approved by the participating School Boards, amounts to $404,500. The expenditure of $324,040 includes the contract commitments for the total contract. It is therefore estimated that the major development in this project will be completed within the budget estimate. Conservation Information Conservation Information is overspent by 2%, as a result of $14,069, spent on Hurricane Hazel Seminar and the C.N.E. exhibit, not being included in the original budget estimates for 1979. Conservation Education The overexpenditure of 3%, or $4,635, in Conservation Education represents (a) the difference between preliminary budget estimates and actual approved salaries~ (b) a minor adjustment for holiday credits to the Supervisor of the Kortright Centre, as recommended by the Personnel Sub-Committee and approved by the Executive Committee; and one month of his salary. ...5...

REGION OF PEEL Conservation Services In 1979, 55% (65,120) of the reforestation seedlings planted for private lando~ners were planted in this region. Under the Private Landowner Farm Tree and Shrub Program, 2169 trees and 5368 shrubs were planted. A total of 31,200 reforestation seedlings and 4,800 trees and shrubs were planted on Authority lands at Glen Haffy, Claireville, Heart Lake Conservation Areas and the East Palgrave Forest and Wildlife Area, (Gibson Lake). Plantation management reports were prepared for three Authority properties in Peel, as well as one biophysical inventory of the Claireville Conservation Area. Woodlot Management programs were carried out at Glen Haffy, Heart Lake and Claireville Conservation Areas and the East Pal grave Forest and Wildlife Area. One stream improvement project was carried out under the S.P.O.F. program and two projects under the Authority's stream improvement program on private lands. Conservation Area Development The Authority's major Conservation Area Development in Peel took place in the Albion Hills Conservation Area. In the campground a combined office and residence building was constructed to provide 24 hour supervision for the campground. This structure will be in operation for the opening of the 1980 camping season. As well, at Albion Hills, a new footbridge was constructed providing access to picnic areas on the north side of the Centreville Creek adjacent to the swimming area. The bridge will also be used during winter months by cross country skiers. At the Heart Lake Conservation Area an additional section of perimeter fencing was added to further secure the area and prevent unauthorized access. In the Glen Haffy Conservation Area, the fish rearing program was continued. - 2 - B-505 REGION OF PEEL (cont'd) Operations During the winter, Albion Hills, Claireville, Heart Lake and Palgrave Conservation Areas were open for winter activities. The Albion Hills ski program operated at capacity and the improved trails at Palgrave were well used. In preparation for the corning season program staff have been hired and replacement equipment obtained. A total of 57 groups have booked time in the Albion Hills ski program. On May 13, 1979 , an Open House was held at the Claireville Conservation Area to launch the Authority's new Canoe Instruction and Rental Program. The program operated from May 19 to September 18. As part of the Visitor Services program, a promotional brochure and flyer were circulated to schools, day camps, youth groups and sports stores. Thirty-two groups attended day instructional sessions. Three weekend courses and two evening courses held were well attended by the general public. The weekend rental demand for the l6 canoes and 8 rowboats was at or near capacity. The strong response to this program by the general public, school and organized groups resulted in a very successful summer program. Conservation Area facilities were in high demand by organized groups with a total of 280 picnic reservations and 6 day camps booked in the areas in the Region of Peel. Again this year the Experience Program played an important role in helping maintain Conservation Areas. Nineteen students were employed in this region's conservation areas. Conservation Area swimming facilities were extremely busy throughout the summer. Unfortunately, despite the excellent work performed by our lifeguard staff, there was a drowning fatality at the Claireville Conservation Area. Attendance at the Indian Line Campground was excellant with the campground at or near capacity particularly during August. During the fall, Conservation Area staff, in co-operation with the Property Division completed property line fencing at the Palgrave Forest and Wildlife Area. B-506 - 3 - RE~~OFro~ Conservation Services In York, 30,400 reforestation seedlings, 2,409 farm trees and 4,705 wildlife shrubs were planted for private landowners. On Authority lands, 15,900 seedlings, 1,700 farm trees and shrubs were planted at Boyd and Lake St. George. On Authority lands in York Region, two stream improvement projects were completed at Humber Trails and the Kortright Centre. On private lands, two projects were completed with approximately 200 meters of stream improved. Woodlot management projects were carried out at the Boyd and Bruce's Mills Conservation Areas as well as Lake St. George. A biophysical inventory was carried out at the Boyd Conservation Area. Conservation Area Development In York, at the Cold Creek Conservation Area, a Trap Range Control Building was constructed which will provide for ammunition storage, increased control of the use of the trap ranges, minor refreshment facilities, washrooms and warming area. In conjunction with this building, a 60 car parking lot was constructed. The building will be open in February with adjacent landscaping to be completed in 1980. The Rifle Range at Cold Creek was improved following consultation with the Ontario Provincial Police. These improvements will increase the visitor safety in the area. Materials were acquired for the construction of a new gatehouse to replace a temporary structure now in use. At the Bruce's Mill Conservation Area, a number of small improvements were made to the area including the installation of plexiglass windows in the pancake pavillion. Eighty square meters of interlocking pavement was acquired for installation around the maple syrup shack which will improve the area during spring use. The major development item at Bruce's Mill was the completion of the mill foundation. This work will reduce the unauthorized access to the building and will significantly enhance the structure. Operations During the winter, Boyd, Bruce's Mill and Cold Creek Con- servation Areas were open for winter activities. The Bruce's Mill Ski program operated below capacity but this situation is expected to improve as the area becomes better known. In this connection a well attended Open House was held on December 9, 1979 to publicize the area facilities. Significant improvements were made to the Cold Creek Ski Trails at the beginning of the year and further trail improvements were carried out in the fall. - 4 - B-507 REGION OF YORK ( con t ' d) Operations (cont'd) In preparation for the upcoming season, Bruce's Mill ski program staff have been hired, replacement equipment obtained and trail improvements carried out. Twenty-six groups have booked reservations in the ski program. The Maple Syrup demonstration at Bruce's Mill Conservation Area was well attended with school groups and general public visits up 900 and 2,300 respectively over the 1978 program. Conservation Area facilities were in high demand by organized groups with a total of 267 picnic reservations and lO day camps booked in the York Region Conservation Areas. This year's Experience Program again played an important role in maintaining Conservation Areas with 10 students employed in the Region's Conservation Areas. Area swimming facilities were very busy during the summer. An upstream sewage treatment plant spill on the east branch of the Humber River resulted in closing the Boyd swimming area for approximately 2 weeks in early August. This seriously affected the Boyd Area attendance. During the fall, property line fencing was completed at the Nashville Reservoir in co-operation with the Property Division. Construction of a model airplane landing strip was completed at the Cold Creek Conservation Area in preparation for the use of this site by a club commencing in the spring of 1980. B-508 - 5 - REGION OF DURHAM In Durham, 27,700 reforestation seedlings, 135 farm trees and llO wildlife shrubs were planted on private lands. 2,900 seedlings and 120 trees were planted at the Glen Major Forest and Wildlife Area as part of a gravel pit rehabilitation project. Woodlot management and a biophysical inventory were carried out at the Greenwood Con- servation Area this year. A tree maintenance program was carried out at the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area. As part of the S.P.O.F. program, approximately 1,800 meters of stream were improved through projects of bank stabilization, fencing and buffer plantings. Eight projects were completed in Durham on the Duffin Creek. Conservation Area Development In Durham, the major activity took place in the Greenwood Conservation Area where three footbridges were ~nstalled by area staff . These bridges provide access to a day camp area, the nature trail and will connect existing snowmobile trails. Operations Greenwood, and for the first time, Claremont Conservation Area, were open for Winter activities. At Claremont, the improved ski trails were well used. This fall, further improvements were completed on the ski trails at Claremont and the snowmobile trails at Greenwood. During_the summer, Conservation Area facilities were in great demand by organized groups with 186 picnic reservations and B day camps booked in the Region's Conservation Areas. This year's Experience Program had B students employed in the maintenance of Conservation Areas. The Petticoat Creek Area pool winterizing procedures were again successful and the pool opened on time. However, it was necessary to close the pool on a number of occasions during the summer due to mechanical breakdown in the plumbing and filtering equipment. Repairs were carried out this fall in co-operation with the Water Resource Division, Water Front Section. Conservation Area staff completed property line fencing at the Glen Major Forest and Wildlife Area in co-operation with the Property Division. - 6 - B-509 MONO/ADJALA Twenty-three thousand reforestation seedlings and 205 farm trees were planted for private landowners. One stream improvement project was carried out under the S.P.O.F. program on private lands. GENERAL Conservation Services Stream assessment was carried out on the headwaters of the Humber River to study the cold water streams for fish habitat im- provement. One reforestation subsidy was approved for a landowner in Durham Region for the planting of l5,000 reforestation seedlings. Approximately 80 site visits were carried out throughout the watershed for technical advice on land management concerns. Eight farmland rentals of Authority owned lands were reviewed for: the purpose of updating and reviewing the leased. Landscape projects in 1979 included the Kortright Centre for Conservatio~ rehabilitation of the Petticoat Creek Collector Sewer Line and the first phase of the landscape development project at the South Thackeray Sanitary Landfill Site. A tree maintenance project was also carried out at Humber Bay East Waterfront Project. Re-vegetation and bank stabilization were carried out on one site in York Region in conjunction with the Flood Control Section under the Peel, York, Durham, Erosion Control Project. Approximately 740 trees and 6,000 shrubs were supplied to the Flood Control Section for their revegetation program in Metro- politan Toronto. The Authority nursery program expanded this year and will continue to do so. Thirty-three thousand shrubs and 10,000 trees and 700 calibre trees were supplied to private, public and Authority programs. A total of 200 trees were moved for private landowners within the watershed under the Private Tree Spade Rental Program. One conservation plan was completed this year. B-5l0 - 7 - GENERAL (cont'd) Conservation Area Development A handout Visitor Survey was carried out in the Conservation Areas using 3 Experience '79 Students. Results from the summer survey are complete and include information on visitor origin, group size, activity preferences and cross visitation between conservation areas. The comments received from the visitors are of value in the ongoing operations and planning of the Conservation Areas and will be available in February. In April of 1979, the Interim Conservation and Recreation Land Management Plan was presented to the Conservation Land Management Advisory Board. Following receipt of the draft plan by the Authority it was circulated to the Province of Ontario and to the Authority's member municipalities. Staff are currently reviewing this component for inclusion in the Watershed Plan. Operations The 1979 winter ski season was shorter than previous years due to lack of snow in early January and late December. This combined with cool early spring weather resulted in a decrease in attendance despite an increased attendance during the summer period.

Revenues from Private Land programs were on target. The overspending in the Private Land programs was offset by a reduction in spending on Authority Land Programs. Conservation Areas Development overspending was a result of the Albion Hills and Cold Creek buildings actual construction costs exceeding budget estimates. This overexpenditure will be picked up by Conservation Areas operations ,unless additional funding is available from the Province. Conservation Area Operations spending exceeded budget estimates. This was a result of obtaining several items at year end which were not included in the original estimates. This overspending was possible because of excess revenue obtained which more than offset excess spending. h SCHEDULE "B" B-513 TO: The Chairman and Members, Executive Committee, M.T.R.C.A. , #21/79.
