STAFF REPORT TO: General Government Committee FROM: Jenny Legget, Economic Development and Corporate Communications SUBJECT: Moratorium on Leasing Town Owned Property in the Beach Area One and Two

Location DATE: April 22, 2015 RECOMMENDATION THAT the General Government Committee recommend to Council that it approve a moratorium on entering into lease agreements between private business and the Town of Wasaga Beach for operating private businesses on Town owned land in the Beach Area One and Two locations for the remainder of the 2015 calendar year. BACKGROUND

Historically, the Town has considered leasing Town owned land in the Beach Area One and Two locations to private business owners who offered services geared toward beach/water type activities for visitors and residents to enjoy. The primary reason for this was due to an understanding that aside from the physical beach, there are limited activities available. Staff and Council were of the view that it was better to offer beach/water activities as opposed to leaving Town owned land vacant. When private entrepreneurs approached the Town with proposals and if deemed appropriate lease agreements between the Town and the private business were established using a very reasonable rate. DISCUSSION

Currently, the Town has an established lease agreement with the owners (Ms. Helen Smith and Mr. Ronald Senuik) of Kowabunga Stand Up Paddle and Kayak for the Town owned land located on the corner of 3rd Street and Beach Drive (123 Beach Drive.) After a significant amount of staff time discussing alternative revenue and site improvements with the business owners, the writer prepared a report for the March 18, 2015 General Government Committee with recommendations that will assist the business owner and the Town. The following recommendations were adopted by committee: THAT the General Government Committee recommend to Council that it approve removal of Town owned exercise equipment located at 123 Beach Drive; AND FURTHER THAT the General Government Committee recommend to Council that it approve working with the owners of Kowabunga Stand Up Paddle and Kayak to improve the wall that abuts Beach Drive and remove any hazards from the front portion of the property; AND FURTHER THAT the General Government Committee recommend to Council that the Town approve a food truck/trailer to be placed at 123 Beach Drive dependent upon the outcome of Council’s decision regarding permitting food trucks in the beach area one and two location.

2

Additionally, at the request of Mr. Nick Vidinovski, the Town provided an option to Mr. Vidinovski to enter into a five lease agreement with 1126744 ONTARIO INC. (Mr. Nick Vidinovski) for the purpose of operating a Family Activity Area on the Town’s portion of the “Dome” property (3 Main Street) commencing for the 2015 summer season. Mr. Vidinovski had decided not to move forward with his Family Activity Area and the lease agreement will not be established. CONCLUSION Given that Council is in the processing of determining the best use of Town owned land located in the Beach Area One and Two locations, and recent discussion regarding the established lease agreement for the Town owned property located at 123 Beach Drive; particularly the rental rate, the writer is recommending a moratorium on lease agreements between the Town and private business for the remainder of the 2015 calendar year. Implementing a moratorium on lease agreements offers the following benefits:

1. a moratorium on lease agreements will provide an environment of leaving the remaining Town owned land in the Beach Area One and Two location vacant while Council determines the best use for the land; and

2. a moratorium will provide the writer with a valid explanation to private business owners who inquire with requests to lease Town owned land for other types of seasonal businesses in the Beach Area One and Two locations, using the current examples of why the Town should be renting to them.

It is important to note that the majority of inquiries are from private business owners wishing to establish restaurants, cafes and/or pubs on Town owned land. Respectively Submitted, Jenny Legget Economic Development and Communications Officer

STAFF REPORT TO: General Government Committee FROM: Jenny Legget, Economic Development and Corporate Communications SUBJECT: Sunday Morning Farmers’ Market Agreement of Understanding – Main Street Parking

Lot (130 Main Street) DATE: April 22, 2015 RECOMMENDATION THAT the General Government Committee receive this report for information and discussion; AND FURTHER THAT the General Government Committee recommend to Council approval of a Sunday Morning Farmers’ Market under the terms and conditions stipulated in the attached Agreement of Understanding between the Wasaga Beach Farmers Market Organizing Committee and the Town of Wasaga Beach. BACKGROUND At the February 11, 2015 General Government Committee meeting, Committee recommended that Council approve a Saturday Morning Farmers’ Market to Council from the first weekend in June until the Thanksgiving weekend in October to be located in the Main Street Parking Lot, located at 130 Main Street. Committee further provided direction to staff to prepare an Agreement of Understanding between the Wasaga Beach Farmers Market Organizing Committee and the Town of Wasaga Beach for consideration by Committee. DISCUSSION The Agreement of Understanding between the Wasaga Beach Farmers’ Market Organizing Committee and Town was provided to the General Government Committee meeting at the March 18, 2015 meeting. Following preparation of the agreement for inclusion with the March 18, 2015 General Government Committee agenda, the writer was contacted by two members of the Wasaga Beach Farmers’ Market Organizing Committee with a request for the Town to potentially provide water and hydro to the market location at 130 Main Street. Given this additional request which could represent a significant cost to the Town, the General Government Committee referred the agreement back to the writer for further information regarding the costs assocated with the Town providing water and hydro for the market. Over the past month, the Wasaga Beach Farmers Market Organizing Committee has undergone a reorganization. The individuals originally included in the Agreement of Understanding identified as the “Operators” (Ms. Helen Smith and Mr. Ronald Seniuk) have resigned from the Wasaga Beach Farmers Market Organizing Committee and have no further involvement with the market. Ms. Smith was acting in the capacity as Chair of the organizing committee and Mr. Seniuk was acting in the capacity as Vice-Chair of the organizing committee. It should be noted that Ms. Smith and Mr. Seniuk contacted the writer regarding the Town potentially providing water and hydro for the market. The

2

Wasaga Beach Farmers Market Organizing Committee have appointed Mr. Mat Johnson as the new Chair and Mr. Hogan Courrier as the new Vice-Chair of the organizing committee. Ms. Smith and Mr. Seniuk’s names have been replaced with Mr. Johnson and Mr. Courrier to act in the capacity as “the Operators” of the Wasaga Beach Farmers Market in the attached Agreement of Understanding. Additionally, the Wasaga Beach Farmers Market Organizing Committee have collectively decided that holding the Farmers’ Market on Sunday mornings opposed to Saturday mornings as originally presented, will provide for greater success of the market. The primary reason for this decision is due to the fact that there are already two well established and well attended Farmers’ Markets (the Collingwood and Creemore Farmers’ Markets) taking place on Saturday mornings. The organizing committee is hopeful that many of the vendors who attend the Collingwood and Creemore Farmers’ Markets will become vendors at the Wasaga Beach Farmers’ Markets on Sunday mornings. The writer agrees with this approach and is supportive of changing the market day from Saturdays to Sundays. Attached to this report is a revised draft Agreement of Understanding, an aerial photograph of the Main Street Parking lot depicting the proposed market vendor and patron parking area and the staff report dated February 11, 2015 outlining details of the proposed Wasaga Beach Farmers Market.

STAFF REPORT TO: General Government Committee FROM: Jenny Legget, Economic Development and Corporate Communications SUBJECT: Saturday Morning Farmers’ Market – Main Street Parking Lot (130 Main Street) DATE: February 11, 2015 RECOMMENDATION THAT the General Government Committee receive this report for information and discussion; AND FURTHER THAT the General Government Committee recommend to Council that it approve a Saturday Morning Farmers’ Market beginning mid-June, 2015 until October 10, 2015 (Thanksgiving weekend) to be held in the Main Street Parking lot (130 Main Street); AND FURTHER THAT the General Government Committee recommend to Council that the Town provide two 10x10 pop-up tents, two 6 foot tables, two portable washrooms and garbage and recycling collection for the operation of the market; AND FURTHER THAT the General Government Committee recommend to Council that the Town provide financial support up to a maximum of $1,600.00 to cover costs associated with rental of two portable washrooms, registration with Farmers’ Market Ontario (FMO) and securing insurance through FMO for market vendors. BACKGROUND At the January 14, 2015 General Government Committee meeting, Mr. Ronald Seniuk made a deputation to committee regarding the potential of creating and organizing a Saturday Morning Farmers’ Market in Wasaga Beach from mid-June to mid-October to be located in the north portion of the 3rd Street parking lot using space adjacent his existing business or in the Main Street Parking Lot at 130 Main Street. He asked for some assistance from the Town related to logistics and paying the administration fees related to the operation of a farmer’s market Committee provided direction to the writer to explore possible options for the market. Since this time, the writer has been working with Mr. Seniuk to determine the mechanics of the market. The Town did offer a market in conjunction with Jazz in Park at the RecPlex, which took place on Tuesday evenings throughout the summer months. The market ceased operation after the 2012 season due to lack of vendor participation and market patrons. Council also had concerns about the amount of staff time required to properly organize the market on a weekly basis. This is the first inquiry the Town has received to re-establish a Farmers’ Market in the community.

2

DISCUSSION

Market Logistics The following information will provide an overview of the mechanics of the Wasaga Beach Farmers’ Market:

1. The proposed location of the Wasaga Beach Farmers’ Market is the Main Street Parking lot (130 Main Street.) Operating hours of the market will be Saturday mornings beginning mid-June, 2015 until October 10, 2015 (Thanksgiving weekend) from 7:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. It will be necessary to close the parking lot at 6:00 a.m. to allow for vendor set-up. Vendor tear-down will commence at 1:00 p.m. and must be completed by 2:00 p.m. at which time; the parking lot can be re-opened for the general public. Closure of the entire parking lot will allow for vendor market space and free market patron parking eliminating the need to designate specific parking for the market.

2. It is difficult to estimate the number of vendors that the market will draw, given that this will be

its first year back after several years. The steering committee will allow for a maximum of 28 vendors for the 2015 season and are anticipating attracting between 15-20 vendors for the season. Vendors will be permitted to select up to a maximum of 3 vendor spaces with a weekly cost of $18.00 per space. In order to attract vendors to the Wasaga Beach Farmers’ Market for the 2015 season, each new vendor to the market will receive the first 3 weeks on a complimentary basis. Each vendor will be responsible to provide their own table, tent and power (if necessary by way of generators.)

3. Given that the Wasaga Beach Farmers’ Market will be a professionally run market where

Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit inspections will be necessary, two portable washrooms must be provided for market vendors and patrons. It is recommended that these portable washrooms be established at the beginning of the market and remain in place until the end of the market season. This approach aligns with portable washrooms provided by the Town in the 3rd Street and Dunkerron Avenue parking lots. Please see financial considerations below for costs associated with the proposed portable washrooms.

4. The following items have been requested by Mr. Seniuk in order to assist with running the

market: a) two 10x10 pop-up tents that will be used as an information booth; b) two 6 foot tables that will be used for an information booth; c) garbage and recycling bins; d) garbage and recycling collection; and e) one barricade to close the parking lot on a weekly basis at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday

mornings. Please see financial considerations below for costs associated with the required above items.

5. The writer has contacted the Director of Public Works and the Manager of Parks, Facilities &

Recreation to discuss use of Town materials and garbage collection. Both of these departments are prepared to provide assistance to the market by way of providing two 10x10 pop-up tents, two 6 foot tables, garbage and recycling bins and garbage and recycling bin

3

collection. It is proposed that the pop-up tents, tables and garbage and recycling bins be loaned to Mr. Garry Sawatzky (steering committee member) at the beginning of the market season and stored at his business, Skull Island throughout the duration of the market season. Steering Committee members will be responsible for set-up and tear-down of the tents and tables as well as garbage and recycling bins on a weekly basis. The Public Works department is willing to include collection of garbage from the Wasaga Beach Farmer’s Market in the weekend garbage collection schedule. Given that 2015 will be the first season for the market, it is difficult to estimate the amount of waste that will be generated.

In order for the Wasaga Beach Farmers’ Market to be recognized and endorsed by Farmers’ Market Ontario (FMO), it is necessary to establish a Steering Committee consisting of individuals who will volunteer and make decisions on behalf of the farmers` market and partners. It is in the best interest of the market and the Town to establish the Wasaga Beach Farmers’ Market though FMO. FMO is a well-recognized organization within the farming and farmers’ market consumer community acting as a catalyst for multiple farmers’ markets across Ontario. Additionally, FMO has an established and recognized website that provides information on each market in the Province. Establishing the market through FMO will allow the Wasaga Beach Farmers’ Market to be included on FMO’s website.

Mr. Seniuk has established a Steering Committee consisting of local business owners and volunteers. Committee members are: Mr. Ronald Seniuk (Chair), Ms. Helen Smith, Ms. Paula Lehr, Mr. Garry Sawatzky, Mr. Ryan Sawatzky, Mr. Ryan Maxwell and Mr. Hogan Courrier. The Steering Committee will be responsible for the following:

1. vendor recruitment; 2. market administration (collecting vendor fees, assigning vendor space etc.) 3. marketing and advertising; and 4. operation of the market.

Financial Considerations If Council determines it appropriate to pursue the Wasaga Beach Farmers’ Market and support the Steering Committees` request for financial assistance, it is important to take into consideration the following costs to the Town:

1. registration with FMO - $125.00; 2. insurance for market vendors through FMO listing the Town as additional insured - $625.00;

and 3. rental of two portable washrooms for the market season - $800.00.

The Steering Committee is prepared to provide payment back to the Town for the above noted costs at the end of the market season if enough revenue is generated by vendor space rental fees. In the event that vendor space rental fees exceed the above noted costs, the Steering Committee has agreed to reimburse the Town for all costs and provide any excess revenue to a charity of the committee’s choice. It is also important to take into consideration potential loss of parking revenue for the Main Street parking lot during the operation of the market. The following revenues were generated in the parking lot for the past five years:

1. 2010 - $12,190.00 (warm summer)

4

2. 2011 - $15,700.00 (warm summer) 3. 2012 - $7,818.00 (average summer) 4. 2013 - $3,494.00 (cool summer) 5. 2014 - $2,154.00 (cool summer)

The figures above represent parking revenue generated for the entire lot for the whole summer season; not just Saturday mornings from mid-June to Thanksgiving for each respective year. Most of the parking revenue is generated during weekends. The Main Street parking lot is not as heavily utilized as other municipal parking lots in Town and certainly does not start to fill up until the afternoon. As demonstrated by the parking revenues above, it is evident that parking revenue is weather dependent. On warm sunny days, individuals will park their vehicles in Town parking lots close to the physical beach. Conversely, on cool, shady or rainy days, individuals tend not to use Town parking lots in close proximity to the physical beach. It is fair to conclude that the Farmers’ Market will not have a large impact on parking revenues from this lot. CONCLUSION The writer contacted four neighbouring communities that offer farmers markets to determine how markets are operated in their communities. The model proposed by the Wasaga Beach Farmers` Market Steering Committee is similar to neighbouring communities models - the Town/Township provides logistical support to the farmers’ markets allowing the market to run independently. When the Town stopped offering a Farmers’ Market an analysis was undertaken to determine why the market was not successful. One of the reasons that emerged was the fact that it was offered mid-week and market vendors prefer weekends where there is a better opportunity to draw a greater number of market patrons. The proposed Wasaga Beach Farmers’ Market to be held on Saturdays will provide an opportunity to determine if this theory is accurate. Given that local business owners have taken the initiative to research farmers’ markets and are willing to undertake a farmers’ market in Wasaga Beach offering residents and visitors an additional shopping experience and activity, it is appropriate to consider supporting this endeavour. In addition, minimum staff time is required to help organize the market on a weekly basis. The writer is recommending entering into a formal agreement with the Wasaga Beach Farmers’ Market Steering Committee clearly outlining the amount of support the Town is prepared to provide to the market and the expectations of Steering Committee members regarding the operation of the market. Funding for the Wasaga Beach Farmers’ Market could be utilized from the tourism partnerships budget line within the economic development budget. For your reference, attached is an aerial photograph of the Main Street Parking lot depicting the proposed market vendor and patron parking area. Respectively Submitted,

STAFF REPORT TO: General Government Committee FROM: Jenny Legget, Economic Development and Corporate Communications SUBJECT: Recruitment of New Family Physician, Dr. Antoni (Toni) Basinski Proposed Memorandum of Understanding DATE: April 22, 2015 RECOMMENDATION THAT the General Government Committee recommend to Council that it approve the attached Memorandum of Understanding between The Corporation of the Town of Wasaga Beach and Dr. Toni Basinski. BACKGROUND Dr. Toni Basinski is an experienced family physician from Toronto who has recently relocated to the Georgian Triangle Area to enjoy the lifestyle opportunities that the area offers. Dr. Basinski has familiarized himself with the Georgian Triangle medical sector by speaking with local physicians. He will begin working on a fee-for-service basis with Dr. Greyling at his temporary practice location at the Waterside Retirement Lodge in May. Dr. Greyling is in the process of having renovations completed to his new practice location at 160 Beck Street with an anticipated clinic start-up date in July, 2015. Dr. Greyling has been actively looking for a family physician to join his new practice. The new practice location has been designed to comfortably accommodate two family physicians and necessary staffing required to ensure a professional practice. Dr. Basinski was introduced to Dr. Greyling by the writer to determine if there was an opportunity for Drs. Basinski and Greyling to practice together in one location. Drs. Basinski and Greyling have met several times and are of mutual agreement that their individual practicing techniques will work well together and that Dr. Basinski will complement Dr. Greyling’s new practice location. After determining logistics of the new practice (office hours, patient rosters etc.), Dr. Basinski approached the Town to determine if any financial assistance is available to allow for his transition to this new family practice. It is important to note that Dr. Basinski was made aware of the potential of establishing a family practice in Wasaga Beach by former Councillor, Morley Bercovitch. DISCUSSION

Dr. Basinski practiced medicine in Toronto as a member of the University Health Network Family Health Team located at the Toronto Western Hospital from 1989 to 2014. As an academic family physician, he has been involved in research and teaching medical residents and students throughout his clinical career. Dr. Basinski has a special interest in care of the elderly, having also worked at a nursing home over the last 4 years. Dr. Basinski is in good standing with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.

There are currently eleven doctors practicing family medicine in Wasaga Beach with patient rosters of 950-1250. In addition to these practices, the South Georgian Bay Community Health Centre (SGBCHC) offers a variety of medical services to patients who have complex health care needs. The staffing model for the SGBCHC includes two family doctors. However, the two family doctors who joined the SGBCHC when it was established in 2011 are no longer with the centre. The SGBCHC is currently undertaking a recruitment process to fulfill the two positions. In order to become a patient of the SGBCHC, patients must meet a list of established criteria and as mentioned above, require assistance with complex health care needs. In many cases, the established criterion eliminates patients who would traditionally be seen by a family doctor in private practice. The current population of Wasaga Beach is approximately 18,000 permanent residents and an estimated 6,000 seasonal residents. Taking into consideration the current rosters of the established eleven practicing family doctors using 1100 patients as an average, and approximately 800 Wasaga Beach residents who are patients of the SGBCHC, it is estimated that there are approximately 5,100 residents in the community without a local family doctor. During discussions with Dr. Basinski regarding potential financial assistance to help him with the transition to the new family practice, it was agreed that $55,000.00 would be an appropriate level of support. In keeping with the precedent that has been established regarding the recruitment of other family doctors to the community, it is recommended that Council consider providing assistance to Dr. Basinski based on entering a Memorandum of Understanding covering a five year period. If Council agrees to provide financial assistance to Dr. Basinski, the funding will be utilized for the following:

1. Dr. Basinski will become part of the Georgian Bay Family Health Organization (FHO) which is administered through the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. FHO’s are community-centred primary care organizations whose programs and services are geared to the population groups they serve. In order for Dr. Basinski to become a member of the FHO, an application to join the team was filed last month with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. There will be an approximate three-five month delay from the date of submission of paperwork to receiving the necessary FHO number which is used for a portion of patient billings. As mentioned above, Dr. Basinski will soon begin seeing patients part-time practicing out of the Waterside Retirement Lodge with Dr. Greyling on a fee-for-service basis. Until Dr. Basinski is provided with a FHO number, his patients are not considered FHO patients and are seen on a fee-for-service billing model. Once Dr. Basinski receives his FHO number, his patients will have the opportunity to join Dr. Basinski’s patient roster. It is important to note that the three-five month delay for processing paperwork related to the FHO equates to a delay in income for Dr. Basinski.

2. Assistance with overhead expenses associated with establishing Dr. Basinski’s practice.

(electronic patient system, etc.)

Given Dr. Basinski’s interest in geriatric care, his practice will have a focus on the aging population, in-patient hospital care, privileges at the Collingwood General & Marine Hospital and in home (house calls) care. Dr. Basinski’s practice will include patients over the age of 18 and will not include pediatrics. Additionally, in order to accommodate patients that might not be able to see him during the regular working day, Dr. Basinski’s office hours will be Wednesday to Saturday with one evening per week. This is a unique office hour model that will be of great benefit to Dr. Basinski’s patients who work during the regular day or for senior patients who have family that live out of Town that may wish to attend medical appointments with their family member. Dr. Basinski will also do house-calls as required. Given the complex health care needs of seniors and additional time required for medical appointments, Dr. Basinski intends to establish a roster of 900-1000 patients. If the Town is

3

successful with the establishment of a walk-in clinic, Dr. Basinski is also willing to consider giving some of his time to the clinic. Dr. Basinski understands, and is agreeable, to the Town’s request that he accept patients from Wasaga Beach first before accepting patients from other municipalities. CONCLUSION The recruitment of Dr. Basinski would be another option for existing and new residents currently residing in the community seeking a family doctor. Financial assistance of $55,000.00 represents $11,000.00 per year. Given the senior demographic in Wasaga Beach and Dr. Basinski’s practice focus on meeting the health care needs of seniors, $11,000.00 is a nominal price to pay for guaranteed health care. Finally, Drs. Basinski and Greyling’s practice will triple the number of family physicians practicing east of the Schnoortown Bridge. Given the reasons noted above, it is recommended that Council approve the attached Memorandum of Understanding that outlines Dr. Basinski’s commitment to the Town.

FURTHER THAT in-kind support for use of portable blue staging, tables and chairs, garbage cans, and fencing is provided. BACKGROUND The Wild Wing Motorcycle event is planned for July 17, 18 & 19. For the past four years, this event has been known as the Spring Fever Motorcycle Rally and took place in May. This year the event is an appreciation day for supporters and participants over the last four years and will not include a rally, a show & shine or a charity ride, as it is taking place the same weekend as the anticipated Wasaga Beach Motorcycle Rally. Last year, the Town of Wasaga Beach provided in-kind support through use of the portable blue stage, pop up tents, steel fencing, plastic chairs and tables and pylons/barricades. The writer will coordinate with Town Departments to facilitate these similar requests for 2015. As in past years, Wild Wing Wasaga Beach will be applying for a temporary extension of their liquor licence for the duration of the event. DISCUSSION The organizers of this event are very excited and believe that this event continues to draw not only motorcycle enthusiasts but also their families to Wasaga Beach as well as showcase Wasaga Beach as a place to return to throughout the year.

STAFF REPORT TO: General Government Committee FROM: Angela Webster, Special Events Coordinator SUBJECT: Summer Music Weekends – Wasaga 2015 DATE: April 22, 2015 RECOMMENDATION THAT the General Government Committee recommend to Council that it not host the proposed Summer Music Weekends event on Thursdays through Saturdays 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. from May 14 to August 1, 2015 on the Town’s portion of 3 Main Street (former dome site.) BACKGROUND

On April 8, 2015, the writer received the event application for the proposed Summer Music Weekends event. The writer met with the event organizers the previous week and explained the process of the event approval process. The proposed event could include a variety of live local music and karaoke with refreshments and food in the licensed area from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from May 14 to August 1, 2015 on 3 Main Street, the Town’s portion of the former Dome site. DISCUSSION The writer is recommending that this event not be approved for the following reasons:

1. various concerns from the agencies involved in an application of this nature; including licensing of the venue which would require OPP paid-duty assistance, private security and portable washrooms;

2. the challenge of coordinating logistics with the neighbouring property owner; 3. the request for the Town’s equipment, such as stage, PA, chairs, etc. that is already requested

by other various events organizers for other events throughout the season and; 4. the writer does not feel this event is in line with Council’s goals for the season.

Although the event will animate a space at the main beach area, the event is not expected to draw in additional tourists. Should Committee decide to recommend to Council that this event be approved, the writer will continue to work with the event organizers, neighbouring property owner and agencies to ensure that the event is as successful as possible taking into consideration the anticipated challenges.

It was determined that the weekend of June 6th – 7th was the best date. Mr. Chiasson has filled out and submitted the Special Events application to the writer.

2

The proposed event, if approved will include the partial closure (specific space to be determined) of Playland / Festival Square on Friday, June 5th and a full closure on Saturday, June 6th at 7am until Sunday, June 7th at 10pm for the event. Set-up will begin on the 5th and requires one full day to complete. The Dock Dogs® show times are to be determined by the Town as the event organizers will work with our suggested time frame(s). It should be noted that the Annual Scouts Soap Box Derby is to be held on Saturday, June 6th. The two event sites do not overlap and the writer does not anticipate any logistical concerns at this time. The writer will work with Staff and the event organizer to ensure the start time on Saturday work well with and does not interfere with the Scouts. The event is anticipated to attract a large number of local residents, regional day trippers, visitors to Wasaga Beach as well as 50+ registered participants. The event organizer is confident that Wasaga Beach will be a very popular location for this event. The 2015 Snowman Mania event included a canine themed show (the President’s Choice™ Super Dogs) which attracted a large number of spectators The Super Dogs held two sold out (capacity) shows. DISCUSSION

This event is comprised solely of the Dock Dogs® Big Air Dogs event; however the Town may choose to expand the event for spectators through collaboration with community groups and / or non-profit organizations. Examples of this may include:

• Georgian Triangle Humane Society – fundraiser / awareness • Charity BBQ (Youth Centre Grill Team) • Vendor opportunities • Local sponsorship promotion

Should Council support this option, Staff will work closely with local organizations and businesses to secure participation and sponsorship. This event will require the event organizer to provide the Town of Wasaga Beach with proof of Commercial General Liability insurance naming the Town as additionally insured. The insurance certificate will provide coverage up to 3 million dollars, as per the Special Events Bylaw #2012-04. Additionally, the event organizer has indicated that they will require the Town to provide the same, naming Dock Dogs® Canada as additionally insured.

There are other requirements the Town has been asked to provide are detailed in the attached document. Should Council approve this event, the writer will ensure that the above requirements and logistics are met. Additionally, Council should be aware that there will be additional costs associated with the security requirement outlined in the attached document. Bleachers are optional for this event; however the writer suggests that the Town considers using the existing sports park bleachers, if available on site to create an enhanced spectator experience.

Staff will work with local businesses to propose sponsorship in order to off-set costs. The operations plan, which will be provided by Dock Dogs® Canada will include the following details:

a detailed site plan showing the location of the pool, judging tent, staging area, viewing area,

fencing, emergency exits, etc. Security and safety measures to be put in place Marketing Strategy

3

Lot closure a building permit and or safety certification for event equipment (pool and dock) as according

to Ontario Building Code Many of these topics are containing in the following pages of this report and were provided to the writer by Dock Dogs® Canada

CONCLUSION

The Town of Wasaga Beach hosts a significant number of special events during the months of June to September. It is the responsibility of the writer based upon Council’s mandate to attract new events for the 2015 summer season, specifically during the free dates in the calendar, and to attract events which will have an economic impact on our community. The writer feels confident that this event meets that mandate and has the potential to be an annual event with growth potential in the future. It is important to note that should the event be approved, the writer will keep the Committee informed with regards to the details and progress of the Operational Plan. It is also important to note that in return for the $8,500 Hosting Fee, Dock Dogs® Canada will oversee, direct and implement the production and presentation aspect for the Big Air Dog show. Details are in the attached pages for review. Should this event be approved in principle, the writer recommends that the $8,500 Hosting Fee for this event be allocated in the 2015 Special Events budget. Respectively Submitted,

STAFF REPORT TO: General Government Committee FROM: Paula Lehr, External Events Facilitator SUBJECT: Wasaga Beach – Street Circus event DATE: April 22, 2015

RECOMMENDATION

THAT the General Government Committee recommends to Council that it approve hosting the inaugural Wasaga Beach – Street Circus event to be held in Wasaga Beach on Friday, July 31st and Saturday, August 1st 2015, from 4:00 – 10:00 pm; and THAT the General Government Committee recommends to Council to provide a hosting fee of $15,000 plus applicable tax for this event; AND FURTHER THAT an appropriate physical space be provided to the event organizer on Main Street (pedestrian mall) area and all other logistics requirements be fulfilled based on the Rock It Production event specifics BACKGROUND

Festivals promoting arts, culture and entertainment are on the rise across North America and the emerging number of successful Busker and Street Art Festivals are a testament to that. A growing number of communities across the Province including, those in Ottawa, Toronto, Waterloo and Port Credit to name only a few have supported and have grown their Busker festivals into signature events, attracting thousands. Busker festivals typically include street shows and performances of music, theatre, dance, juggling etc. combined with the creations of 3-D chalk artists and other art genres. Most of these festivals have a mix of paid performers as well as those who „pass the hat‟ for cash and tips. These types of performers are often seen on the streets of Europe performing to passing audiences with a variety of skills and from many parts of the world. In keeping with that concept Buskerfests were born to bring in that calibre of talent to "our" streets, offering this unique experience to Canadians and our visitors. These events are made possible in most communities through Municipal support (hosting fees) and corporate sponsorship and will often involve Downtown Business Improvement Area (BIA) managers who take the lead on facilitating the logistics and promotions. The writer has received two proposals for consideration. Both Event Management Companies have worked with other municipalities and BIA‟s in Ontario including the Toronto, Port Credit and Kitchener Busker Festivals. After reviewing both proposals and speaking with several references, the writer is recommending that Council considers the proposal put forward by Rock It Productions out of Toronto. The writer has had several discussions with the Senior Events Specialist, Karen Cecy from Rock It Productions and is

2

confident that they offer a complete event package, focused on long term commitment and annual growth. Should Council approve this event, the Wasaga Beach Street Circus will be produced and managed by Rock-It Productions, an event management company with over 20 years of festival production experience. They bring along with them, a team of experienced event professionals, who have a firm grasp on large scale events and the local community‟s needs. Karen understands the importance of working very closely with local suppliers and artists who will complement the cast of highly skilled international performers who cannot be seen elsewhere in the area. Listed below are the highlights of the attached event proposal; Event Overview: This event will be unique for many reasons, one of which will be that it is proposed to take place in the late afternoon (4:00pm) and run through until after dusk (10pm). The festival will keep to the traditional “Busking festival” format with 3 performance spaces (pitches) located throughout the festival area with 2-3 shows happening at any one time. A cast of 6 selected performers will be hired and paid an honorarium plus food, accommodations and travel allowances to perform for the two dates. Audience members will be encouraged to tip the performers which will increase their “take” and work as incentive for them to do high quality shows. The performers will have a variety of skills such as juggling, fire, acro, balance, magic, contortion, aerial silks and music. The festival will include some stationary side-acts (i.e. statues, chalk artists, face painting, Henna tattoos and musicians) and a variety of food and craft vendors that help to create a festival feel. Marketing: A graphic designer will be commissioned to create an identity and logo for the festival Posters, signage and a strong social media and will be the major contributors for year one. Rock-It to provide: Event coordination and production All site logistics- including set-up and break down A variety of talent as outlined above Talent travel and accommodations arrangements Talent food and refreshment arrangements Stage (pitch) Scheduling Equipment sourcing Vendors – both food and craft Marketing plan and materials

3

Sponsorship & Partnerships details: If an agreement is met, the Town of Wasaga Beach would act as the main and ONLY sponsor this year due to the short time-line. In future years other sponsors would also be approached which will help to enhance the budget and the scope of the event. In addition the Town of Wasaga Beach will agree to allow Rock-It productions to bring in outside food and dry goods vendors and agree that Rock-It would keep all proceeds from those vendors to help offset any additional costs associated with the above event. As stated above, there will be a strong effort to secure as many local / area suppliers and entertainers as possible. DISCUSSION

The Town of Wasaga Beach hosts a significant number of special events during the months of June to September. It is the responsibility of the writer based upon Council‟s mandate to attract new events for the 2015 summer season, specifically during the free dates in the calendar, and to attract events which will have an economic impact on our community. The writer feels confident that this event meets that mandate and has the potential to be an annual event with growth potential in the future. This year in Wasaga Beach, as an inaugural event, we anticipate over 1,000 people will enjoy this festival, as it grows, based on average attendance at established festivals, we could grow that number to well over 15,000 within the first 3-5 years. The event organizer is confident that Wasaga Beach will be a very popular location for this event and as it grows, performers will request Wasaga Beach as their preferred Festival to perform at. A financial impact analysis report on the event was generated through the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (TREIM) tool which measures the economic impact of visitors‟ and businesses‟ spending on the local economy. Based upon solely the number of anticipated spectators (1,000) the writer received the results from the report which states that the economic impact would be $221,825.00. The Busker Festival model has been tried and true in many communities across Canada boosting the economy and bringing new visitors to the area. Currently, the August long weekend is wide open and the Town does not have any Special Events scheduled. Hosting an event such as this will attract an audience of curious cottagers, beach goers, residents and day trippers offering them a truly unique experience. The economic spin off from a spectator event such as this will impact many of the shops, restaurants and activity based businesses in Town as day time beach goers and families will extend their stay well into the evening hours. Should this event be approved, the writer recommends that the $15,000 Hosting Fee for this event be allocated in the 2015 Special Events budget. Respectively Submitted, Paula Lehr

STAFF REPORT TO: General Government Committee FROM: Paula Lehr, External Events Facilitator SUBJECT: 5K Foam Fest Canada 2015 DATE: April 22, 2015

RECOMMENDATION

THAT the General Government Committee recommends to Council that it approve hosting the inaugural 5K Foam Fest event to be held in Wasaga Beach on Saturday, August 1st, 2015; and THAT the General Government Committee recommends to Council to provide a hosting fee of up to $10,000 for this event pending final event approval; AND FURTHER THAT an appropriate Town owned physical space be provided to the event organizer and all other logistics requirements be fulfilled based on the 5K Foam Fest Host Agreement BACKGROUND

5K Foam Fest is not a hard-core race it is a FUNCORE race. This uniquely fun event will be found in cities and communities across Canada this summer, including the Okanagan, Red Deer, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Toronto, London, Ottawa, Halifax, Quebec City, Vallee du Parc and Montreal. The goal of the 5K Foam Fest is to have fun while running or walking. A race clock at the beginning and end of the race will assist participants in gauging how fast they ran the race but the goal is to focus on the fun aspect of the race rather than the speed. The 5K course can be set up in a variety of configurations and is determined by the landscape of the chosen space / venue and include items such as the famous Foam Pit, inflatable obstacle course and a Bounce House. This event welcomes all skill levels and participants range from 7 years old and up. Teams can be made up of family, co-workers, community groups or friends, individuals are also welcome to register. There are even activities for the kids and kids at heart, like our Skyfall, Big Baller, and Wrecking Ball! Children will have complimentary all day access to the festival area to enjoy these activities in the kids Fun Zone. The 5K Foam Fest is organized and professionally managed by 365 Sports & Entertainment. Founded in 2010, 365 Sports & Entertainment specializes in brand management, field marketing, concept development, and event production. Their mission is to provide fresh, fun, innovative athletic events to challenge all participants, seasoned athletes and beginners alike and they are dedicated to inspiring a healthier, happier society through the combination of exercise and philanthropy… and of course fun! 365 Events is a full service group that can assist in everything from initial concept to event activations and end results who can offer assistance with:

• Event Conception • Funding Acquisition • Event Marketing and Public Relations • Event Scheduling • On-Site Branding and Consumer Engagement • Video Production • Photo Production • Lighting and Sound • Communications Systems • Logistics Activation The writer, based on Council’s mandate to attract new events for the summer season, contacted, Tony Smith, CEO 365 Sports Inc. on Wednesday, April 8th to discuss the opportunity of Wasaga Beach hosting this event. The writer has had discussions with the event organizer and has received a document (see attached) containing information about the event. The writer has provided Mr. Smith with a Special Events application which is to be completed soon along and a site visit to several locations will be set up in the next few days to determine the best location for this event to take place. The event is anticipated to attract between 4,000 to 6,000 registered participants based on averages provided to the writer by 365 Sports. The event organizer is confident that Wasaga Beach will be a very popular location for this event. A financial impact analysis report on the event was generated through the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (TREIM) tool which measures the economic impact of visitors’ and businesses’ spending on the local economy. Based upon the survey criteria of: 1 night stay, Sporting Event classification and 4,000 as the number of registered participants, the writer received the results from the report which states that the economic impact would be $695,703.00. Keeping in mind that each participant is expected to bring along family and / or friends this figure could very well be much higher. DISCUSSION

At the time of writing this report, considering the extremely short time frame, the writer and event organizer have not had the opportunity to work through a detailed fee and in-kind schedule. In order to expedite the process, the writer has confirmed with the event organizer that the maximum fee to host this event based on full set up and without any in-kind support would be $10,000. In other words, should this event be set up in an area where there was access to public washrooms then the costs to rent portable washrooms would not be factored. This event takes two days minimum to set up depending upon the complexity of the course. The writer has confirmed with the event organizer that they carry $12 million dollars in liability insurance for their events.

The Special Event Facilitator and Coordinator will work closely with the event organizer to ensure that the operations plan will include the following details:

a detailed site plan showing the location of the event, beverage and food areas, location of

additional washrooms, emergency exits, etc. Security and safety measures to be put in place Marketing Strategy Lot closures a building permit and or safety certification for event equipment as according to Ontario

Building Code

CONCLUSION

The Town of Wasaga Beach hosts a significant number of special events during the months of June to September. It is the responsibility of the writer based upon Council’s mandate to attract new events for the 2015 summer season, specifically during the free dates in the calendar, and to attract events which will have an economic impact on our community. The writer feels confident that this event meets that mandate and has the potential to be an annual event with growth potential in the future. The writer feels that it is important to mention that the August long weekend is one which has not traditionally had any special events scheduled and feels that this event will attract a large number of people. Since this is a one day event, it would be beneficial for Council to consider other proposed events for that weekend to entice spectators and participants to extend their overnight stay to include the full weekend. Offering a variety of unique family friendly events will not only attract but retain our visitors. It is important to note that should the event be approved, Council will be kept well informed of the details and progress of the Operational Plan and most importantly, what the hosting fee will be along with details of the expenses. Should this event be approved in principle, the writer recommends that the $10,000 Hosting Fee for this event be allocated in the 2015 Special Events budget. Respectively Submitted,

STAFF REPORT TO: General Government Committee FROM: Twyla Nicholson, Clerk SUBJECT: Playland Park Square/Festival Stage DATE: April 22, 2015 RECOMMENDATION THAT the General Government Committee recommend to Council that it formally name Playland Parking Lot/Festival Square as “Playland Park Square” within the event area, with the stage being named officially as “Festival Stage” within Playland Park Square, to maintain the historical significance of the property. BACKGROUND At its February 23, 2015 meeting the Historical Advisory Committee passed a motion recommending to Council that the property known as Festival Square at Main Street be formally named “Playland Square” and that the event area for the stage within Playland Square be named “Festival Stage” to maintain the historical significance of the property. General Government Committee at its March 19/15 meeting received the Historical Advisory Committee minutes for information noting the references to Festival Square and the importance of keeping “Playland” in the name to maintain the historical significance of the property. Committee asked that the Clerk research what the previous Council had decided on the matter when the Archivist had suggested that Council keep the name Playland Park. DISCUSSION At the March 4, 2014 Committee of the Whole, a Councillor expressed concern with the area being referred to as Festival Square in staff and consultant reports and commented that the Playland Park designation needed to be retained for its historical significance. At that time, a formal name for the area had not been determined. On March 24, 2014 the Town Archivist wrote to the Town requesting that Council keep the name of the Playland Park for the property. Her letter is attached for Committee’s information. The Archivist explained the history and significance of Playland Park stating that the amusement park was in operation from the 1930s to the 1980s, employed many local youths and was a huge tourist attraction. Local families and visitors from all over spent countless hours enjoying the rides, games and food. The Archivist suggested that the name Playland Park be retained due to its historical significance. At its April 17, 2014 meeting, General Government Committee considered the Archivist’s letter and agreed with her recommendation. Council considered the Committee recommendation at a subsequent meeting and it was approved. Since then, staff has been referring to the area as Playland Park/Festival Square depending on the activity taking place in the parking lot.

2

CONCLUSION Staff agree with the Historical Advisory Committee’s recommendation as it builds on the decision made by the previous Council to rename the area Playland Park. The name Playland Square & Festival Stage reflects the history of the area, but also describes the transition of the area to hosting more special events and festivals. As a result, it is recommended that Council formally adopt the name as “Playland Park Square” with the event area and stage being officially named as “Festival Stage” within Playland Park Square.

TO: General Government Committee

FROM: Twyla Nicholson, Clerk

SUBJECT: Historical Significance and Appreciation Award Guidelines

DATE: April 22, 2015

RECOMMENDATION

THAT the General Government Committee recommend to Council that it approve the Historical Significance and Appreciation Award Guidelines as recommended by the Historical Advisory Committee.

BACKGROUND

At its meeting of June 12, 2012, Council established a Historical Advisory Committee. As part of its mandate, the purpose of the Committee is to advise and assist Council on matters relating to the recognition and promotion of the Town’s history.

Once the Committee was established it became very active and enthusiastic in its role to promote the history of Wasaga Beach and educate the public. In 2014, the Committee participated in projects such as assisting Special Events in the Town’s 40th Birthday Celebration, participating in Wasaga Under Siege and assisting GIS in providing a list of historical street names. For 2015, the Committee has recommended that it apply to the County of Simcoe for a grant for 2016 to erect interpretive signage to recognize significant historical properties (such as Marlwood), events, activities, that have historical significance in Wasaga Beach.

As part of the Committee’s discussions included establishing guidelines and criteria as a vehicle to recognize and promote the history of Wasaga Beach and stimulate awareness of historical resources and historically-related issues within the community. Interpretive signs would be used as part of this programme.

DISCUSSION

At its April 13, 2015 meeting the Historical Advisory Committee passed a motion recommending to Council that it approve the Historical Significance and Appreciation Award Guidelines (attached).

The Programme has two awards for consideration:

Historical Significance Award – recognizes cultural icons including properties, local artifacts, landmarks, building structures, businesses, or locations that have a historical association and reveal aspects of local history that are deemed relevant and have historic value to the Town. The goal of the programme is to encourage an understanding within the community of historically significant local subjects and/or structures; therefore, promoting the conservation of the cultural past.

2

Historical Appreciation Award - recognizes those individuals and/or organizations that have played a significant role in the promotion or conservation of the history of Wasaga Beach.

The intention is to solicit nominations from the community for these two awards. The award recipient will be chosen by the Committee and a recommendation provided to Council. Once approved, the Award recipients would be recognized at a Council meeting and the recipient would be presented the award during Ontario Heritage Week in February at the Town’s Recognition Day Ceremony.

The Corporation of the Town of Wasaga BeachOperational Summary by Department - 1st Quarter 2015 - Notes Cont'd Amounts in '000s

Notes Cont'd:

2. Please note that the unfavourable variance for the Historical Advisory Committee was due to the repayment of a County of Simcoe grant as the project was not completed since the previous Committee wasdissolved as reported by the Clerk at GG on March 18th, 2015.

3. Part-time Wages are unfavourable to budget due to a maternity leave replacement and is completely offset in FT wages.

4. Debenture revenues are unfavourable to budget at this point of the year due to timing. (Revenues are billed on the Final Tax Billings which will be issued in June 2015).

5. The Special Events department is slightly unfavourable to expectations at this point in the year by approximately(4%) due mainly to the unbudgeted extension of a contract position (~$15k); this is partly offset by the Favourablevariance for Snowman Mania of just over $1k.

6. The Final 2014 OPP reconciliation was received in April 2015 (not yet reflected in the statements) and will havea positive impact in 2015 of approximately of $122k due largely to a reduced number of FTE's for the SummerPolicing program.

7. The favourable variance in Animal Control is due mainly to the timing of the Dog Tag Revenue, whichoccurs for the most part in the first quarter of each year.

8. Overall Parks & Rec. is in-line with expectations for this point in the year, there is a slight Favourable variancedue to the Recreation Coordinator position remaining vacant that is partly offset in Administration due to thecoverage of these duties through a PT position becoming FT at a higher rate of pay.

9. The Public Works department overall is in-line with expectations for the end of the 1st Quarter. The favourablevariance noted at this point is due mainly to the Insurance Premium not yet being processed for 2015. Allwages, benefits and overtime are at normal expectations with the Winter Maintenance OT being slightly lowerthan expected. All Utility costs are as well as Vehicle Fuel and Maintenance expenses are within projectionsfor the end of the 1st Quarter.

10. The January/February billing was issued in March 2015 and were billed at what is normally expected duringthis lower usage season. Wages, Benefits and OT remain in-line with budget as well as Utility Costs.

11. Building Permit revenues are slightly above what is anticipated for this point in the year due mainly to a 2014Year-end adjustment for old deposits being cleared as well as 2015 permits issued for Parkbridge and Stonebridge. All expenses are in-line with expectations.

The increase in Reserves is due mainly to the continued transfer to reserves for the future demise of the OMPF $2.3Mio, and the transfer to the Water/Sewer Lifecycle Reserve $1.2Mio. This is partly offset by the Beach Area 1 & 2 reserve that has funded the budgeted capital improvements.The decrease in Subdivision Plans Discretionary Reserves is due to these projects being completed and the funds being recognized as revenues in 2014.

As interest is received from the Bond Portfolio it is reinvested, funds will only be reduced if cash flow needs occur. As reported in the "Annual Investment Report" to GG in February 2015, the total weighted average YTM was 2.5% for 2014. Additionally funds that have matured through the ST investments have been redirected to the Bond Portfolio in the amount of just over $1 Mio.The increase in Accounts Payable is due mainly to the timing of the payments to the County.

This amount represents portions of the Business Park that are available for resale and thus are not considered to be part of TCA since it does not serve as part of the operations of the Town.

The decrease in deposits on hand is due mainly to the refund of partial securities to Berkley homes for the Wasaga Beach Village project, as well as the return of funds for the front-ending agreement.A total of 160 DC's were collected in 2014. The reduction of DC balances is due mainly to the continuation of the Knox Rd E and Schoonertown Bridge projects.Debentures have decreased as payments continue on a monthly basis and the completion of Local Improvement loan 2003-20. Please note that the Water/Wastewater servicing loans have no impact on taxation, leaving just the Mosley/Recplex (2004-69) debenture that has been completely paid out at this point. As presented throughout the 2014 budget debentures have been planned to replace these amounts to ensure a healthy balance in cash flows.

Employee Future Benefits has increased due to the yearly actuarial review.

The increase in total cash flow (Yr over Yr) is due mainly to the timing of payments and the increased value of Short Term investments. Collection activities continue in the Taxes department with increased arrears notifications and more reasonable payment arrangements being settled.The increase in Accounts Receivable are due mainly to the timing of the HST refund and the inclusion of loans for the Knox Rd East Water/Sewer servicing.

The final GBE investment will be recorded upon the completion of Wasaga Resources Audit.

Dear Council Members: We are aware that municipal and county councils across the province are now in the process of budget discussions and, ultimately, finalization of a budget for the 2015 year. It is with this in mind that we are writing to ask you to consider making a commitment to financially support the Charter Challenge of Ontario’s wind turbine approval process. The Charter Challenge could be the best approach to protect your residents and minimize your own need for legal action.

Here is a brief synopsis of the Charter Challenge to date: Superior Court - 2013: Justice Grace of the Superior Court ruled that Charter and constitutional challenges of the province’s wind turbine approval process should be heard at the Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT) level. In his Decision, he also stated the following: “I am acutely aware that some may conclude that this ruling forecloses judicial involvement in the dispute. With respect, it does not do so. The statutory process is in its early stages. A right to appeal to Divisional Court on a question of law is expressly given”.

Environmental Review Tribunal Hearings - 2013-2014: As directed, the ERT process was followed. In each of the three hearings (Dixon/Ryan-St. Columban, Drennan-K2 Wind & Kroeplin-Armow), the ERT took the position that it lacked the jurisdiction to rule on whether or not the Ministry of the Environment Director’s decision to issue a Renewable Energy Approval (REA) met the constitutional requirements of section 7 of the Charter.

Divisional Court – 2014: The next logical step was to go back to Justice Grace’s decision and appeal to Divisional Court. The appeal was dismissed. The panel of judges at Divisional Court found that the ERT did not err in the way in which it dealt with the Appellants’ (families’) claims even though Justice Grace of the Superior court was assured by government lawyers in Goderich that the ERT had the right and jurisdiction to hear constitutional and Charter issues. The Appellants (families) were seeking to change the test of how a renewable energy project is approved from “must prove serious harm to human health” to “a project should not be approved where there is a reasonable prospect of serious harm to human health”. This issue was not specifically addressed by the Divisional Court in its decision.

Ontario Court of Appeal – 2015: The families have now filed a Notice of Motion for Leave to Appeal to the Ontario Court of Appeal. Falconers LLP is preparing a factum setting out the reasons for appeal and will be submitting it to the Ontario Court of Appeal by March 10, 2015. The Ontario Court of Appeal will review the factum and decide whether or not to hear the appeal. If it’s a yes, the appeal can move forward. The court has set no timeline for providing a decision on the leave to appeal request. The County of Lambton and fourteen community groups intervened in support of the case, bringing their record of issues that were relevant to municipalities and communities. The County of Lambton has already confirmed that they will be intervening at the Ontario Court of Appeal level if leave is granted and the Charter Challenge proceeds. There are some very legitimate reasons for your council to consider this request. They are as follows:

1. Two very important acknowledgements have been made by the court system in Ontario as

this challenge has progressed. In September of 2014, Justice L.C. Leitch of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice acknowledged that “there is a serious issue to be tried, or in other words, that the appeal is neither vexatious nor frivolous”. In early March of this year the three Divisional Court judges who heard the appeal in November of 2014 released their costs decision. The cost awards were dramatically reduced from what the wind companies requested and, in their decision, the three judges stated that “although the appellants obviously had a private interest in the litigation, their appeals contained a strong public interest component raising, as they did, the constitutionality of part of the legislative regime governing the

2

construction and operation of wind farms in this province. Any award of costs must reflect that strong public interest component”.

2. You have the right and the responsibility to protect the best interests of your residents and ratepayers.

3. This is indeed public interest litigation. It is not fair or reasonable to expect a few to fight for and fund something that stands to benefit so many. We can and must help each other.

4. A good deal of time, effort and money has gone into getting this case to this point. A significant record has been created. For anyone to start from scratch would be very costly and, essentially, a duplication of effort with no real advantage.

The economics and science of industrial wind turbines is unsettled and evolving. The Charter Challenge is, of course, part of a much broader ongoing discussion across the province on the industrial wind turbine front. Other concerns related to industrial wind turbine developments, shared by councils and citizens alike, include:

- the overall economics of the provincial wind energy development regime. - increased hydro rates for municipal, business and residential customers. - property values (lower property values leading to lower property assessments, a lower tax

base and higher mill rates). - impacts on animal health, tourism, source water protection, wildlife habitats and migratory

routes. - the drain on local extractive resources. - the loss of longstanding municipal rights and authority; the loss of local democracy; the loss

of prime agricultural land for food production; the loss of future development potential within wind developments and the loss of trust among family members, friends and neighbours in our communities.
