NEWCASTLE VILLAGE COMMUNITY HALL BOARD February 20, 2018 Council Chambers 7 pm Present Were: Kevin Symak, Chair Cathy Abraham Sierd DeJong Peter Hazelton Regrets From: Dave Eastman Wendy Partner Willie Woo Also Present: Gabrielle Bell, secretary 1. Janeen Calder representing Newcastle BIA spoke to board about a tree lighting ceremony centered on the Hall. Light up the hall rather than a tree as we no longer have a Christmas tree on the property. Plans are just starting to be discussed, thoughts of closing the street and have horse drawn carriage rides, competition amongst stores to decorate. Event would be outside just needing use of front foyer washrooms. Date suggested is Friday before Santa Claus parade so hall is lit up for parade. Next BIA meeting is March 8t". We will investigate cost of lights. Board had attempted to purchase lights at 75% off from Home Hardware last month but they did not have enough for our requirements.

With distracted walking and driving so common as well as the likely increase in insurance for the municipality, which would be passed on to property owners like myself through property tax increases I see absolutely no benefit to this suggestion. I grew up at Baseline and Hold, just south of the CP crossings on Holt Road and also at Maple Grove Road as well as just east of where the tracks cross Baseline Road; my maternal grandparents lived on Odell Street, just north of the CP tracks and I currently reside just south of the CP tracks in the Waverly subdivision – I am familiar with the whistles and find them comforting, if I notice them at all. I understand the need to examine the suggestion but I also know that it's important for me to voice my concern about this issue. I do not agree that the trail whistles are disruptive or anything else. They are part of the community and in part indicate a thriving economy – something we all benefit from. I don't need a response, I just wanted to share my concerns. Best regards, Suzanne Barnes If you prove time and test again that you have integrity, you will eventually meet the success you always knew was meant for you. — Bryant McGill 53 Keyzers, Heather From: info@clarington.net on behalf of'David Reesor <davidcreesor@gmail.com> Sent: March -27-18 10:12 AM To: MayorsExternalMailGroup Subject: Elimination of the train whistle Mr. Mayor I would appreciate your support re eliminating the train whistle in Clarington. I live on the West end of Wellington street which you can imagine we get the full brunt of the engineer's discretion of how long and frequency of the blasts. Not all trains have the same level of sound and some engineers have the attitude "I'm awake and so will you be". Apparently some people taunt the train for dangerous fun, and the engineer has no choice but really get on the horn. If this requires a petition to motivate and support the motion to eliminate the train whistle, I would be more than willing to participate in canvassing the area.

Report To: General Government Committee Date of Meeting: April 16, 2018 Report Number: EGD -010-18 Resolution: File Number: By-law Number: Report Subject: Cottages on the West Beach of Port Darlington - Lease Extensions Recommendations: That Report EGD -010-18 be received; 2. That the term of the leases between the Municipality and the tenants of the seven remaining cottages on the West Beach of Port Darlington be extended on an annual basis; 3. That further extensions to the leases be considered annually as part of the Capital Budget process, and as long as funds are not approved by Council for the next phase of development, the Chief Administrative Officer be authorized to renew the leases on an annual basis; and 4. That all interested parties listed in Report EGD -010-18 and any delegations be advised of Council's decision. PP Municipality of Clarington Report EGD -010-18 Page 2 Report Overview The Municipality of Clarington currently leases cottages to seven long-term tenants but those leases are set to expire on December 31, 2018. The existing tenants have requested renewal of the leases. This report recommends annual renewals subject to budget considerations for the future park development. 1. Background 1.1 Ina letter dated January 22, 2018 (Attachment 1), The West Beach Association, on behalf of the seven cottagers remaining on the West Beach of Port Darlington, requested that Council and staff explore the renewal of their leases. 1.2 The first lease agreement between the Municipality and cottagers was for a term commencing May 15, 2010 to December 31, 2015. Council received a report from the Municipal Solicitor in April, 2014 recommending that the term of the leases be extended from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016; and that further extensions to the leases be considered annually as part of the Capital Budget process commencing with the 2015 Capital Budget. 1.3 Council passed Resolution #GPA -301-14 which extended the term of the leases to December 31, 2018, with further extensions to the leases to be considered annually as part of the Capital Budget process commencing with the 2018 Capital Budget (Attachment 2)_ 2. Discussion 2.1 The term of the existing leases expires on December 31, 2018. The annual letter from staff to the tenants included a reminder that the lease agreement expires and asked the tenants to contact staff as to whether they wished to renew their lease_ 2.2 Staff met with representatives of the West Beach Association and Councillor Woo on March 1, 2018. Staff indicated that they would be providing a report to Council on the renewal of leases. The West Beach Association would like to see a term of longer than annual renewals and also requested that future tenure succession of the cottages to family members be considered. Attached as Attachment 3 is a letter from The West Beach Association setting out the reasons for the request. 59 Municipality of Clarington Page 3 Report EGD -010-18 2.3 Staff indicated that the existing arrangements with the cottagers have worked well. The beach is being well used by the public and currently there are no funds allocated in the 2018 or Capital forecast for the Phase 2 expansion of the park. 2.4 The current leases do not allow the cottagers to assign or sublet the cottages. The cottages are owned by the Municipality. The cottagers provided Bills of Sale and were compensated for the value of their cottage when the land under them was expropriated from the Port Darlington Harbour Company. 2.5 The land on which the cottages are located was expropriated in 2009 for the purpose of providing public access to West Beach. Prior to expropriating the lands, conceptual park development plans were approved by Council. The original Port Darlington Waterfront Park Concept Plan was approved in November 2004. The first phase of this Plan was implemented in 2012. As additional properties have been acquired to the west of the former Port Darlington Harbour Company Lands the options for future development continue to evolve. 2.6 It is unknown at this time precisely when parkland improvements will be made to the lands on which the cottages are located. The Background Study for the 2010 Development Charges By-law anticipated construction in 2018 but Staff anticipate that the next phase of construction will take place in 2019 or beyond. 2.7 Staff are recommending that the leases be extended until December 31, 2019 primarily because the cottagers are good stewards of the beach, carrying out clean-up and assisting with deterring vandalism and public mischief. Effectively, the cottagers are on- site stewards of the beach area. 3. Concurrence This report has been reviewed by the Municipal Solicitor and the Director of Planning Services who concur with the recommendations. 4. Conclusion 4.1 It is respectfully recommended that the leases of the cottagers on the West Beach be renewed for a one year period to December 31, 2019 and that further annual renewals be dependent on the advancement of the park development as approved at the time of capital budget review. 4.2 In addition, to simplify the renewal of the leases it is recommended that the responsibility for signing the lease renewals be assigned to the Chief Administrative Officer.

The Flood The early spring and summer of 2017 saw the highest water levels on the West Beach since the summer of 1947. This resulted in flooding of parts of the upper road and the erosion of up to 40 feet in the front of the beach of the park, and the destruction of two of the sand dunes as well as considerable damage to the other dunes. As our cottages are set far back from both the lake and the marsh, there was no damage to them and, thus, the flood was only a mild irritant to us. We, however, sympathize with our neighbours up the back road and Cedar Crest Beach who did experience considerable damage and extensive monetary loss. We as a community would like to thank the Council, Municipal Staff, the Fire Department, the Durham Regional Police, the Parks Department, the Public Works Department and the volunteers who worked so hard and did so much to alleviate the situation. Their efforts should never be questioned or forgotten. They were great! With the drop in the water levels (at first it was 3 ft. above last year's level, but by the end of August it was back to normal) the sandy beach is back but, of course, some of the dunes are gone, and will take years to return, if they ever do. The high water also brought in literally tons of drift wood, brush, and assorted other crap that left what remained of the beach in a horrible condition. Three of our members, Chuck and Gail MacDonald, and Ted Bounsall, spent about a week raking up all this debris into piles at the western end of the park. We would like to thank Bob Genosko and Brent Pascoe and the rest of the Parks Department who spend a day removing the debris from the beach. As I stated before, forty ft. of sandy beach has returned and without the dunes it is much wider and more level than it was before. It is not and probably never will be quite what it was before the flood, but beaches, being like living things, are always changing, and that, in fact, is what gives them their unique beauty. For, faced with the power of wind, water and the ever shifting sands, what could ever stay the same or, for that matter, whatever should. The Use of the Park 62 Due to the flood and the resulting conditions of the road and the front beach, the use of the park was down considerably from the last five years, but many people still came and enjoyed it, and by mid-August we were back to normal. The warm weather and water that carried right on into September resulted in large crowds on the beach every day, especially Saturdays and Sundays. The people who come to the beach are mostly family groups or individuals who just enjoy the beach for its sand and water. They are all very good and do no damage and, in fact, many help to clean up the beach and keep it in fine shape. They are also very supportive of out community and the work that we do. Improvements Since (due to the flood) the Parks Department was very busy elsewhere, they were not able to do as much in the park this year. As a community, our members tried to help to fill this void and do as much park maintenance as we could. Again this year, our members have made many improvements to our individual cottages with much painting done, flowers planted, grass cut, old chimneys removed and steel roofs installed. Of course, all these improvements make the whole area much more appealing to ourselves and all the many people visiting the park. Social Events Again, the "Red Letter Day" at the beach was the annual Horseshoe Match on the Civic Holiday weekend. This year over twenty individuals played with a total attendance of 75, including many of our neighbours from up the back road, the Cove Road and Cedar Crest Beach. This is a great day that brings the entire Port Darlington community together and was, incidentally, the 98t11 year of the tournament. Our community again had its usual barbecues and communal suppers that were enjoyed by all. The West Beach in Film As you may recall, the park has been used several times in recent years as a movie set, and this has also added to its appeal among the general population of Clarington. The movie people have said many times that an area like ours, with vintage cottages (many over 100 -years -old), is very hard to find in southern Ontario, or anywhere else, for that matter. This again, is one of the things that makes our area and the park so unique; it is, in fact, a virtual time capsule, a piece of history that is still in existence when most of its like have long since passed into history. The Future As the members of Municipal Council well know 2018 is the year our current leases run out; the members of out community, that consists of seven cottages and 12 residents, all senior citizens and lifetime residents, are looking forward to meeting with Council and its Staff to explore the renewal of our leases. We, of course, hope for a favourable outcome from these discussions as we truly wish to remain on our beach and to continue to assist in the planning and development of the park. We are more than willing to work with the Municipality of Clatington and its Staff, and to help in any way we can in the fulfillment of our mutual interests, the general good, and the improvement of the area that we have lived in for so long. In closing, I would like to again stress how well this has worked out since the park was created ten years ago and how happy our community is with the results. I would like to again thank the Members of Council, the Municipal Services, and Staff who have worked with us to make this dream park that we all love so much, the reality it has become.

ON LIC 3A6 March 19, 2018 Dear Mayor and Councillors: Ori behalf of the cottage community of the West Beach of Port Darlington, I am taking the liberty of writing to you in regard to our new lease agreement. When the Municipality assumed ownership of the land for the new- park some ten years ago, our community members were given five year leases that were renewed for another five years in 2014 and so will run out on December 31, 2018. ]'his year, we have been advised that our leases will now be renewed on a year-to-year basis. In accordance with our leases we are required to keep our cottages in good repair and in a safe and aesthetically pleasing condition which we have faithfully done at the cost of thousands of dollars each over the years that the leases have been in effect. Changing to a year-to-year lease will result in an increase in feelings of uncertainty, insecurity and apprehension among the members of our community. most of whom are at an advanced age. We have been unofficially advised that the Municipality has no long-term plans for any major changes to the park for the next five years, or for the foreseeable future. It is also the expressed opinion of the people using the park, our neighbours up the road, and all those interested in the welfare of the park, that the continued existence of our community does no harm and. in tact. does considerable good to the whole concept of the park. Therefore, we would request that the Council reinstate the former practice of a five year extension, so that we can feel secure, continue to keep our cottages in the good shape that we wish to do and continue to assist in the maintenance of the park, for the betterment of the Municipality. the people who use the park and, of course, ourselves. If the Municipality, or the individual members of Council wish, or require, any more information, or input, please call me at 905-623-2405 at your convenience. I trust you will give our request your thoughtful and open consideration. I remain yours, Gary Coli Clarington Finance Department Report If this information is required in an alternate accessible format, please contact the Accessibility Coordinator at 905-623-3379 ext. 2131. Report To: General Government Committee Date of Meeting: April 16, 2018 Report Number: FND-004-18 Resolution: File Number: By-law Number: Report Subject: Financial Update as at December 31, 2017 Recommendation: That Report FND-004-18 be received for information. ac Municipality of Clarington Page 2 Report FND-004-18 Report Overview The purpose of this report is to update Council on the overall budget variances as of December 31, 2017 as well as other financial indicators such as taxes receivable, investments, debt and development charges collected. These are not audited figures and are subject to change as the year-end process is completed. This report cannot be used to forecast the year-end financial position. 1. Background 1.1 The financial update has been designed to focus on overall budget variance. 2. Fourth Quarter of 2017 Results 2.1 Attachment 1, Summary of Operating Expenditures and Revenues, compares the Municipality's budget to actuals as of December 31, 2017. This statement reflects the Municipality's operating budget only and excludes year to date financial activities for library, museum, BIAS and consolidated hall/arena boards. Year to date expenditures as of December 31, 2017 totalled $79,602,429 which represents 102.6% of the 2017 budget. Year to date revenues totalled $82,094,794 which is 105.8% of the 2017 budget. 2.2 Attachment 1 is intended to provide an indication of the status of the Municipality's operating accounts comparted to the approved budget as at December 31, 2017. It is important to note that the figures presented in this report do not represent final year-end figures. Year-end accruals and adjustments necessary to ensure revenue and expenses are charged to the appropriate fiscal year will continue to be processed to finalize the 2017 year to prepare the Municipal Financial Statements in accordance with the Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The external audit of the 2017 year will be completed at the end of June 2018. The figures for both years, 2017 and 2016, do not include all consolidated municipal service board activities nor non-cash activities such as capital asset amortization and unfunded post -employment. This statement cannot be used in isolation and does not show the final position of the Municipality in either year. 2.3 Non -departmental accounts are higher than budgeted at 101.9%. Supplementary taxes are higher than budgeted by approximately $800,000. Another factor is the higher than budgeted General Fund interest by $249,675 which can be attributed to the increase in 91 Municipality of Clarington Page 3 Report FND-004-18 the Bank of Canada rate starting in July 2017 and the use of the One Fund High Interest Savings Account (HISA) opened in September 2016. 2.4 Overall the Administration are on budget at 94.8% of the 2017 budget. Higher revenue and operating expenditures are due to Port Granby transactions. 2.5 Legal administration net expenditures are at 67.3% of the 2017 budget. This favourable result is due to higher revenues relating to planning agreements. 2.6 Corporate Services net expenditures are at 101.1% of the 2017 budget. Higher revenues are due to the WSIB 2017 NEER rebate and the rebate from the Bank of Montreal Purchasing Card rebate program. 2.7 Overall, the Clerk's department net expenditures are in line with the budget at 95.4% of the total budget. Higher parking revenues are offset by the corresponding transfer to the Parking reserve fund. As well cemetery revenues were higher than budgeted. 2.8 Emergency Services net expenditures are at 99.5% of the 2017 budget. Revenues are higher than budget as not all OPG Memorandum of Understanding funds are included in the budget. Emergency call revenues are not budgeted and there is a corresponding transfer of the call revenues to a reserve fund. Higher expenditures in fire prevention and part-time staffing are offset by lower costs in training and technical support. 2.9 Engineering net expenditures are 85.4% of the 2017 budget. Higher revenues in building inspections and building permits reduce the bottom line. At the end of 2017, building permit revenues were at $2,602,919 or 174.1 % of the 2017 budget. A portion of the building permit revenues are transferred to the Building Division Reserve Fund to offset expenses during the years of low revenues. This was reported on at the last General Government Committee meeting. 2.10 Operations net expenditures are at 105.2% of the 2017 budget. Revenues are higher than budgeted at 136.7%. Higher revenues include cost recoveries of street fighting and winter maintenance of unassumed subdivisions. The debenture for the Municipal Administrative Centre renovations was not issued until later in 2017 so the timing of the payments varies from the budget calculation. Operating expenditures are higher than budgeted at 107.9% of the budgeted amount. Higher expenditures include the areas of street lighting and Ontario Call 1 by approximately $100,000, road maintenance by approximately $356,000, winter maintenance by approximately $600,000 and hard top maintenance by $109,004 and cemetery costs by approximately $30,000 as well as staffing costs. Some of the increased costs can be attributed to weather factors such as the response to flooding and winter storms. Increased cemetery revenues in Clerks 92 Municipality of Clarington Page 4 Report FND-004-18 and Operations are offset by higher cemetery costs. Winter maintenance costs were the subject of a separate report at the last General Government Committee meeting. 2.11 Community Services net expenditures are at 102.1 % of the 2017 budget. The debenture for the RRC renovations was not issued until later in 2017 so the timing of the payments varies from the budget calculation. Expenditures are higher than budgeted at 102.7% due to a number of factors including increased facility, hydro, water and staffing costs. Some of the utility costs have been reduced due to retrofit projects at the recreation facilities. 2.12 Planning Services net expenditures are at 72% of the 2017 budget. Revenues are higher than the 2017 budget at 177.9%. In particular, fees for rezoning, site plans and subdivision fees are well above budget. The increase in activity shows the volume and complexity of the applications received in 2017. Lower expenditures are due to the due to timing variances from one year to the next such as CIP programs as well as the timing of the hiring of new staff and consultants. 2.13 Expenditures for Boards and Agencies are at 103.5% of the 2017 budget. The increase in expenditures is due to capital budget transfers to the library approved in prior years. This is offset by a non -departmental revenue transfer from previous commitments in the reserve fund for the Library capital. 2.14 Attachment 2, Continuity of Taxes Receivable as of December 31, 2017 provides the status of the taxes billed and collected by the Municipality. A total of $3,531,913 in supplementary tax bills were issued to property owners in the Municipality during the fourth quarter. At the end of 2017, a total of $3,181,645 remains unpaid compared to December 2016 taxes receivable of $2,499,393. The net balance is $682,252 higher or 27.3% higher than the previous year at this time. This is quite reasonable considering the total taxes billed for all levels (local, education and region) increased by approximately $7 million over 2016. Note that monthly PAPs processed in December 2017 are applicable to the 2018 taxes and therefore appear as pre -paid taxes on Attachment 2. Ongoing collection efforts continue to manage the taxes outstanding quite successfully. 2.15 Attachment 3, Investments Outstanding as of December 31, 2017 provides the status of the Municipality's general, capital and reserve fund investment holdings at the end of 2017. The Municipality as of December 31, 2017 holds $10,157,699.37 in general fund investments, $0 in capital fund investments, $34,227,354.34 in reserve fund investments (which includes the Strategic Capital reserve funds), and $25,640,760.04 in Development Charge reserve fund investments. In November 2017 there was a reallocation of investments between regular reserve funds and Development Charge 93 Municipality of Clarington Page 5 Report FND-004-18 reserve funds to balance the investments appropriately within the fund accounts. Investments held in the Municipality's portfolio are assessed on a ongoing basis to ensure they meet the requirements of Section 418 of the Ontario Municipal Act, Ontario Regulation 438197 and the Municipality's investment policy. Clarington investments are very conservative in nature and only high quality investments are chosen as per the investment policy. An updated report and investment policy are forthcoming to Councl to address the changes to the Municipal Act recently enacted. 2.15 Attachment 4, Debenture Repayment Schedule provides the status of the Municipality's long term debt obligations as of January 1, 2018. The Municipality has $17,065,754.57 in outstanding debt as of January 1, 2018. The debentures for the LED street light conversion project will be dependent on the outcome of RFP 2018-1. This debenture and those for the parking lots have not yet been issued by the Region so the associated repayment plans are estimates. These new debentures will not be issued until later in 2018 therefore there will be no payments due in 2018. In 2018, the debt repayment obligations as per the current debt are $3,403,276.74. The annual principal and interest payments required to service these liabilities continue to be well within the annual debt repayment limits prescribed by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. 2.17 Attachment 5, Municipal Development Charges as of December 31, 2017 provides the Municipal Development charges collected separated into residential and non-residential. In 2017 Residential Municipal Development Charges collected were $11,415,347. In the recent 2015 Development Charges Background Study, it is forecasted that the Municipality would be collecting approximately 768 residential units in total for 2017. For 2017 budget considerations, the figure of 650 units was used. In 2017, there were 901 residential units, including a significant shift to apartments. Compared to the previous year there was a 5.0% increase in development charges collected and a 4.7% decrease in the number of units. The smaller type units have lower development charges. 2.18 In 2017, Non -Residential Municipal Development Charges collected were $1,042,220.30. Compared to the same period the previous year there was 282.3% increase in development charges collected. Non-residential development charges are based on the area in square meters rather than per unit cost so it can be expected to have significant variances from one year to another. 2.19 In the 2015 Development Charges By-law 2015-035, there are a number of incentives to encourage development in Clarington. As of December 31, 2017 a total of $902,453.37 in incentives have been given to thirteen (13) properties since July 2015. These are listed on Attachment 5. To date there has been two (2) development incentives given for residential properties totalling $571,662.26. The remaining MIA Municipality of Clarington Page 6 Report FND-004-18 $330,791.11 has been given for non-residential incentives. The property at 109 King Avenue East in Newcastle as a mixed used building has been given incentives for both residential and non-residential development. 3. Concurrence Not Applicable 4.

That Report FND-006-18 be received for information; 109 Municipality of Clarington Page 2 Report FND-006-18 Report Overview This report complies with the annual reporting requirement to report to Council the status of existing commodity hedging agreements for 2017. 1. Background 1.1 Under Ontario Regulation 635105, the Treasurer is required to report annually to Council the status of existing commodity hedging agreements, including a comparison of the expected results to actual of using the agreements and confirmation that they comply with the Municipality's policies and goals. 1.2 As required by the Municipal Act, 2001, Council adopted a Commodity Price Hedging Agreements Statement of Policies and Goals in report COD -054-08, on Monday October 6, 2008. In this statement of policies and goals, the responsibilities are delegated as follows. The Director of Finance/Treasurer or designate is responsible for the financial administrative matters pertaining to commodity price hedging. The Director of Corporate Services or designate is responsible for the procurement and contractual administrative matters pertaining to commodity price hedging. 2. Comments 2.1 The Municipality's energy consumption trends have been studied since 2008. Detailed budget estimates are made based on these consumption trends and pricing projections of the various utilities including natural gas for the Municipality's operating departments. This information together with the procurement strategy aimed at reducing risk and stabilizing cost continues to focus on the need for a stable natural gas supply contract. The Municipality has an energy consulting agreement with Blackstone Energy Consulting. The term was for November 1, 2014 to October 31, 2017 with an option to extend for two additional one year terms. The Municipality has extended the agreement to October 31, 2018. This agreement covers many services related to the Municipality's supply of natural gas including the supply of information relevant to decision making; arranging contracts for the continuous supply; analysis and reconciliation of usage; and forecasting of natural gas pricing pressures. 2.2 Blackstone Energy Services Inc. working on the Municipality's behalf is authorized to enter into fixed priced natural gas agreements as per the procurement strategies and to the agreed indicative prices. The Municipality is supplied natural gas from three pools — Empress (western Canada), Central Delivery Area (CDA) and Dawn. The Dawn hub 110 Municipality of Clarington Page 3 Report FND-006-18 is a new natural gas hub available in November 2015 and is located in southwestern Ontario. As of November 2017, the Municipality switched the gas delivered from the CDA pool from Western Canada to the Dawn pool. 2.3 In January 2017, in consultation with Blackstone, the Municipality entered into the hedging agreements as shown below in the chart. From January 2017 to October 2017 79% of the gas supply is hedged. From November 2017 to October 2019, 85% of the gas supply is hedged. Date Range Pool Price % of Comments ($/GJ) Portfolio January 1, 2017 to Dawn TCPL 3.28 29% Excludes October 31, 2017 transportation cost January 1, 2017 to CDA 4.98 21% Includes October 31, 2017 transportation cost January 1, 2017 to Empress 4.75 29% Excludes October 31, 2019 transportation cost November 1, 2017 Dawn 4.24 28% Includes to October 31, 2019 transportation cost November 1, 2017 Empress 3.21 28% Excludes to October 31, 2019 transportation cost 111 Municipality of Clarington Page 4 Report FND-006-18 2.4 A component of the natural gas pools is the setting of the Minimum Daily Volume (MDV). The MDV amounts were changed as shown in the chart below based on past natural gas consumption, climate change projections for the next year and the reallocation of individual accounts contained in each pool. 2.5 Another element of the natural gas purchasing is that the Municipality sets the price on bill (POB). The price on bill is set to estimate the average cost of the gas factoring in transportation costs. Setting the price on bill reduces the fluctuations over the year. Blackstone does provide recommendations for the price on bill and the Municipality can change the price on bill at any time. Since October 2016, the price on bill has been set at $0.141m3. This price has been used for 2017 and 2018 budget projections. 2.6 The natural gas year is from November 1 to October 31. During this period the Municipality may use more gas than estimated during the heating season and use less during the cooling season. These differences are settled in the Municipality's account at Blackstone with the various gas pool/suppliers (Empress, Dawn and GDA). As of October 31, there may be a balance of gas owing or a surplus of gas to be sold in the market based on the gas supply obligation calculated from the estimate required versus actual usage. Blackstone provides advice on the best time to settle the gas account for the best price (or hedge price if applicable) and is settled in the account. 2.7 In 2017 the combination of these factors along with weather factors have created a surplus in CIarington's account of approximately $100,000. In 2016, Clarington received a payment of $50,000 from Blackstone to reduce the financial surplus in the hedging account. This payment was applied to the repayment of the Energy Master Plan Phase 1 project costs. Similar to 2016 another lump sum payment could be taken from the 112 November 2015 to October 2017 November 2017 to October 2018 CDA Pool 29 0 Empress Pool 52 53 Dawn Pool 53 88 2.5 Another element of the natural gas purchasing is that the Municipality sets the price on bill (POB).

Similar to 2016 another lump sum payment could be taken from the 112 Municipality of Clarington Page 5 Report FND-006-18 hedging account to be use as in 2016 to repay the Energy Master Plan Phase 1 project or to be used for future energy conservation projects. Alternatively, based on projections from Blackstone, Clarington may choose to reduce the price on bill to realize the savings in the current operating costs. Clarington will be consulting with Blackstone in April to evaluate the best course of action for the balance in the hedging account. 2.8 These contracts met the procurement goal of both reducing the risk and stabilizing the cost, as we have a fixed source of supply for the majority of the estimated requirement up to October 2019 at a fixed price with a reasonable consumption estimate. 2.9 To date, the Municipality has not hedged for electricity. The structure of electricity hedging is different from natural gas. A significant component of electricity bills on the larger accounts such as the recreation facilities and street lights is the Global Adjustment. Electricity hedging could be used to mitigate the cost of the electricity but would not affect the Global Adjustment cost. In the future, the Municipality could investigate electricity hedging. 3. Concurrence This report has been reviewed by the Director of Corporate Services who concurs with the recommendation. 4. Conclusion 4.1 The Municipality of Clarington has natural gas commodity hedging agreements in place up to October 2019. These agreements are consistent with the Municipality's statement of policies and goals relating to the use of financial agreements to address commodity pricing and costs. The natural gas market and the account balance of the Municipality's hedging account is monitored on a regular basis. 4.2 It is respectfully recommended that this annual commodity hedging report be received for information in compliance with Ontario Regulation 635105 of the Municipal Act, 2001. 5.

Report To: General Government Committee Date of Meeting: April 16, 2018 Report Number: FND-007-18 Resolution: File Number: By-law Number: Report Subject: Ontario's Main Street Revitalization Initiative Recommendations: 1. That Report FND-007-18 be received; and 2. That the By-law attached to Report FND-007-18 be approved. 115 Municipality of Clarington Page 2 Report FND-007-18 Report Overview This report is prepared to seek Council approval to enter into a funding agreement with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario for the Main Street Revitalization Initiative under the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs as well as identify the proposed municipal projects under this funding. 1. Background Program Overview 1.1 On January 23, 2018 the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) and Small Business announced the "Main Street Revitalization Initiative" at the Rural Ontario Municipal Association (ROMA) annual conference. 1.2 The program will distribute $26 million in support for Ontario's main streets and business communities. All single and lower tier municipalities in Ontario are eligible for funding. 1.3 On March 12, 2018, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) signed an agreement with OMAFRA to administer the funding for this program, effective April 1, 2018. Municipalities are required to enter into an agreement with AMO to receive funding under this program. 1.4 The Municipality was informed that its allocation is $110,988, this increased from the original funding announcement of $106,265. Eligible Projects 1.5 There are two streams for eligible projects: a) Implementation of priority incentives in existing Community Improvement Plans (CIPS) and b) Strategic municipal infrastructure. 1.6 Investment in existing CIPS includes: x Commercial building fagade improvements; x Preservation and adaptive reuse of heritage and industrial buildings; x Provision of affordable housing; x Space conversion for residential and commercial uses; x Structure improvements to buildings (e.g. Building Code upgrades); x Improvement of community energy efficiency; and x Accessibility enhancements. 116 Municipality of Clarington Page 3 Report FND-007-18 1.7 Investments in strategic municipal infrastructure include: x Signage — wayfinding/directional and gateway; x Streetscaping and landscape improvements (such as benches, planters, lighting, etc.); and x Marketing plan implementation. Restrictions 1.8 Eligible costs are those incurred between April 1, 2018 up to and including March 31, 2020. Funds must be spent and the project must be complete by March 31, 2020. 1.9 Funds may cover 100% of the project's costs and maybe stacked with other projects or funding. If the funds are used with another funding program any restrictions in place with that project are still in force. 1.10 Work for highways, short -sea shipping, short -line rail, regional or local airports and brownfield redevelopment are not eligible. 2. Proposed Projects 2.1 The Municipality is required to provide an information report to AMO immediately upon signing the agreement. The information report will provide information regarding the proposed project(s) and the expected costs. 2.2 Staff from the Planning Services, Engineering Services and Finance Departments met to discuss potential projects under this program. While there are several eligible categories for projects, many of those categories have alternative funding opportunities which the municipality is or will utilize in the future. There are existing programs that provide funding for affordable housing, energy efficiency improvements, active transportation, and business marketing initiatives. Funding for the Community Improvement Grants are in place. There are few opportunities for public art funding available for municipalities and Staff believe this would be a way to engage the arts community and provide a lasting legacy from this program. 2.3 Because there are few opportunities for public art funding, as well as the role public art plays in the beautification of main street areas, Staff are recommending the funds be used for public art pieces in each of the downtowns including Courtice (within the CIP boundaries). Staff will be working with the Visual Arts Centre of Clarington to develop a process for the creation of the public arts pieces and to involve the local art community and artists. 117 Municipality of Clarington Page 4 Report FND-007-18 2.4 Given the time to organize the process and commission the final artworks and determine the appropriate municipal lands to locate the artwork on in each downtown, it is anticipated the project can be completed in March 2020. 3. Concurrence This report has been reviewed by the Director of Engineering and the Director of Planning Services who concur with the recommendations. 4. Conclusion It is respectfully recommended that the funding agreement and the proposed art competition identified be approved under this funding initiative. 5.
