7.3 Robert Malone and Henry Wildeboer, Clarington Task Force on Affordable
Housing, Regarding Surplus Properties
Robert Malone and Henry Wildeboer, Clarington Task Force on Affordable Housing,
were present regarding surplus properties. Mr. Malone explained that the Task Force
on Affordable Housing passed a resolution at their meeting on April 16, 2019, to
encourage the Municipality of Clarington to consider the sale of municipally owned
surplus properties at less than market value, subject to all existing laws, for the purpose
of long term affordable rental housing. He noted that the Task Force aims to contribute
solutions to the social dilemma of affordable rental accommodations. Mr. Malone stated
that developers have fled the rental accommodation market because of high land costs,
red tape, rent controls and overall unfavorable economics. He explained that
condominiums have become the product of choice for the industry because of the
developer's ability to pay higher lands costs because of a quick cash flow, but explained
that they are still not affordable for most. Mr. Malone stated that studies have found that
there is a shortage of rental housing accommodations in Ontario. He explained that the
Task Force would like the Municipality of Clarington to reduce the market value of its
suitable and available real estate to attract developers, to help satisfy the rental
accommodations needed in Clarington.

7.4 Bart Hawkins Kreps, Regarding the Central Lake Ontario Conservation
Authority (CLOCA) Port Darlington Shoreline Hazard Study
Bart Hawkins Kreps, was present regarding the Central Lake Ontario Conservation
Authority (CLOCA) Port Darlington Shoreline Hazard Study. Mr. Hawkins Kreps made a
verbal presentation to accompany an electronic presentation. He explained that the
CLOCA report cites that the communities on West Beach and Cedar Crest Beach
should be removed because of the dynamic beach hazard. Mr. Hawkins Kreps stated
that the dynamic beaches in Port Darlington are not a hazard to residents, that the
current high Lake Ontario level is not the main cause of danger and that shoreline
erosion is due to the St. Mary's Pier. He explained that these factors result in ongoing
danger every year, even when lake levels are low. Mr. Hawkins Kreps advised the
Committee that dynamic beaches change often, growing and shrinking in response to
wind, waves and water levels. He explained that, if the natural cycle is disrupted, and a
beach shrinks every year but never grows back, then before long there is no beach and
no dynamic beach. Mr. Hawkins Kreps stated that dynamic beaches play a key role in
moderating wave force. He explained that you can see the results of waves on
shorelines that still have a dynamic beach, compared to adjacent shorelines where the
dynamic beach has been lost due to erosion. Mr. Hawkins Kreps played two video clips
illustrating the varying impact of one storm on May 1, 2019. He advised the Committee
-5-
11
Clartw-n
General Government Committee
Minutes
May 27, 2019
that the two videos were shot in the same hour, with the same Lake Ontario level, the
same wind and the same waves but the impact of the waves varies drastically.
Mr. Hawkins Kreps noted that the key factor was that one stretch of the beach has been
starved of sediment and has eroded. He explained that fixing the erosion problem, as
outlined by the Baird Report, is the right and fair thing to do. Mr. Hawkins Kreps stated
that not fixing the problem means exposing residents to personal danger and financial
catastrophe in all seasons, every year. He concluded by stating that the community
needs an engineering solution to restore the shoreline, now.
7.5 Pauline Witzke, Regarding the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority
(CLOCA) Port Darlington Shoreline Hazard Study
Pauline Witzke, was present regarding the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority
(CLOCA) Port Darlington Shoreline Hazard Study. Ms. Witzke made a verbal
presentation to accompany an electronic presentation. She explained that, during high
Lake Ontario levels in 2017 and 2019, winds from the east/south caused the lake water
to pile up on Port Darlington's shore. Ms. Witzke stated that Cedar Crest Beach has
been gradually eroded away since the St. Mary's pier was built, so the waves are hitting
very close to houses now. She noted that, if the water can't flow back out again, it pools
around the houses/in vacant lots, and the waves push it over Cedar Crest Beach Road
to the wetland. Ms. Witzke explained that this causes significant erosion, leading to the
undermining of walls which topple into the lake and, most recently, cause foundation
damage to buildings. She advised the Committee that, in 2017, 36 tons of soil and rock
was removed from one property alone. Ms. Witzke stated that the wetland behind
Cedar Crest Beach Road is fed by runoff from Bowmanville through West Side Creek,
ending up in west side marsh. She noted that the water is held back in the marsh by a
barrier beach at Lake Ontario and under normal lake levels, the barrier beach breaks
when the wetland water level gets high enough, and the wetland drains. Ms. Witzke
explained that, with high lake levels, the seiche and waves on the lake side keep the
barrier from breaking. She advised the Committee that, in 2017, wave uprush from
Lake Ontario crossed Cedar Crest Beach, filling the wetland, which could not drain
because the barrier beach wouldn't break. Ms. Witzke stated that this caused the
flooding of Cedar Crest Beach. She explained that this year the wetland is full to the
level of Cedar Crest Beach, but not over it and so far, no wave uprush has flowed
across Cedar Crest Beach Road because there are higher and more continuous
sandbag walls erected on the lake side. Ms. Witzke stated that, according to long-term
residents, Cedar Crest Beach Road has never flooded in the last 50 years, until 2017.
She noted that the flooding was not caused by water flowing down West Side Creek,
the water got pushed over the road by waves from the lake. Ms. Witzke stated that
CLOCA's pattern of flooding they predicted has never happened.

That the Rules of Procedure be suspended to allow the delegation of Pauline Witzke to,
be extended for an additional two minutes.
Carried
She noted that the proposed voluntary disposition and further building restrictions are
extreme, expensive and unnecessary and they should be rejected. Ms. Witzke
explained that raising the roads in Port Darlington will mitigate the low level of flooding
that has been seen, and will allow access for residents and first responders in future
events. She mentioned that Cedar Crest Beach Road needs to be protected from
waves when Lake Ontario levels are high and this can be accomplished using the
methods from the Baird report, and the community has already indicated they support at
least two of the four options.
7.6 Sarah Delicate, Regarding the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority
(CLOCA) Port Darlington Shoreline Hazard Study
Sarah Delicate, was present regarding the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority
(CLOCA) Port Darlington Shoreline Hazard Study. Ms. Delicate made a verbal
presentation to accompany an electronic presentation. She explained that, in 1972,
planning documents for the St. Mary's shipping pier, predicted a complete interruption to
littoral drift. Ms. Delicate stated that, in 2018, Baird Report it found accretion on the
West and erosion on the East side, as predicted in 1972. She displayed a letter from
Minister Ruth Grier, Minister of Environment, from 1992, outlining a shoreline
regeneration working group that noted the shoreline eroded after the St. Mary's Pier
went in. Ms. Delicate highlighted the history of the erosion of the shoreline east of St.
Mary's Cement's existing dock from a 1994 letter from Minister L. J. Wildman. She
highlighted the Municipality of Clarington's staff Report PD -108-95, outlining Council's
resolution for the St. Mary's Cement dock expansion. Ms. Delicate provided the
Committee with five reports that support the conclusion that the Pier starves the
shoreline. She stated that most causes of coastal erosion affecting coastal
communities are due to human intervention in the transport processes along the
coastlines and/or reductions in the supply of sand to the shorelines. Ms. Delicate
displayed a video comparing the 1967 shoreline (pre -pier) to the 2016 shoreline.

That the Rules of Procedure be suspended to allow the delegation of Sarah Delicate to
be extended for an additional two minutes.
Carried
She noted that CLOCA's flood modelling is flawed and the probability of a 100 year
flood is less than 1 % a year. Ms. Delicate requested that the Committee reject the
policy recommendations in the CLOCA staff report, which put 100% of the residents in
harm's way, consider the history of the government decisions, and pursue a shoreline
protection and restoration strategy, as outlined in the Baird Report. She concluded by
answering questions from the Committee.
7.7 Jeff Mitchell, Regarding the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority
(CLOCA) Port Darlington Shoreline Hazard Study
Jeff Mitchell, was present regarding the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority
(CLOCA) Port Darlington Shoreline Hazard Study. Mr. Mitchell explained that CLOCA
S.R. 5630-19 is not a fair or responsible presentation of the shoreline erosion hazard.
He noted that the Port Darlington Community Association (PDCA) fundamentally
disagrees with CLOCA's re -framing of the objective given to them by Clarington
Council. Mr. Mitchell stated that the unwillingness of CLOCA staff to address the
historical cause of the erosion problem is disturbing and inconsistent with the mandate
of a Conservation Authority. He explained that the PDCA'S position is that this concept
is ethically wrong and economically unfeasible. Mr. Mitchell noted that one-time costs
to the Municipality may exceed $50 million, for purchase and removal of approximately
50 homes and that the Municipality would lose at least $300,000 in annual property tax
revenue in perpetuity. He stated that the costs far exceed the cost of the preferred
shoreline protection option of $16 million set out in the Baird report. Mr. Mitchell
outlined the PDCA's requests:
That Council not receive CLOCA SR 5628 19 in its current form because:
a) it does not address in good faith or remediate the shoreline erosion problem,
as requested by Council;
b) it leaves homeowners exposed to an on-going erosion and wave uprush
hazard;
c) it exposes the Municipality of Clarington and taxpayers to future costs that far
exceed the cost of fixing the problem.
2. Failing 1, above, that CLOCA's recommendation to commence consultations for
the development of a long-term incremental voluntary land disposition program be
rejected because:
-8-

Minutes

a) an informal willing -buyer, willing seller arrangement already exists;
b) it exposes homeowners to severe loss in property value over time;
c) it discourages, if not prevents, future investment to remediate a problem that
isn't going away and is easily fixed;
d) it will cost taxpayers many times more than the cost of remediating the
problem and provide no ancillary benefits to taxpayers.
3. That Council pursue implementation of Options 2 or 3 of the Baird report, or some
other type of breakwater structure, with or without funding from potential partners;
4. That Council instruct CLOCA to initiate a CLASS EA pursuant to Options 2 or 3 of
the Baird report;
5. That Council reject a CLOCA recommendation that would restrict or deny
homeowners the right to rebuild their homes if required for any reason;
6. That Council adopt recommendation 4 of the CLOCA staff report dealing with road
improvements;
7. That Council vigorously implement CLOCA's recommendation #6 seeking support
from St Mary's Cement in the implementation and financing of future costs of
planning and building structures designed to protect the Cedar Crest Beach Rd.

wide economic impact;
And whereas the Town has an opportunity to participate by hosting sporting

And whereas the Town has invested over $9 million in capital improvements to
the baseball and softball fields at Audley Ballpark, and the creation of two

Review, be endorsed by the Municipality of Clarington:
Whereas the Government of Ontario is undertaking a Regional Government
Review to examine governance, decision-making, and service delivery functions
of Ontario's 8 regional municipalities, Simcoe County, and all respective lower -
tier municipalities;
And whereas the Regional Municipality of Durham ("the Region") and its 8 lower -
tier municipalities continue to be leaders and advocates for good governance in
the municipal sector, as is evidenced by the Region's decision to engage
voluntarily in the 2015 Regional Council Composition Review, and the decision of
Durham voters to elect the position of Regional Chair as of 2014;
And whereas there is a strong and proven relationship between the Region and
its lower -tier municipalities in Durham, and the double -direct voting system
ensures that members of both local and regional councils are well informed about
all issues and concerns impacting residents;
And whereas Ajax Council ("the Town") agrees that there are opportunities for
transfer of services and/or better service alignment between the Town and the
Region to increase efficiencies for residents and businesses;
And whereas Ajax Council is confident that, through the Regional Government
Review, the Province of Ontario will respect municipal autonomy, identity and
representation;
Now therefore be it resolved that Ajax Council supports a continued two-tier
municipal structure and double -direct voting system and governance model
throughout Durham Region, noting that the Town is open to improving the
alignment of services between the upper- and lower -tiers in order to achieve
increased efficiencies;

E -Learning
Resolution #GG -337-19
Moved by Councillor Hooper, seconded by Councillor Anderson
That the following resolution of the Township of McNab Braeside, regarding
Government of Ontario E -Learning, be endorsed by the Municipality of Clarington:
Whereas the Government of Ontario is proposing education adjustments;
And whereas the Government of Ontario announced that secondary school
students will be required to take four (4) out of thirty (30) high school credits as
online course;
And whereas thirty (30) credits are required for an Ontario high school diploma,
the government is not providing rural Ontario with the same broadband access
as the rest of the Province;
And whereas throughout much of rural and northern Ontario, broadband service
is lacking, making e -learning impossible, and may set our students up for a two-
tier education system due to the lack of internet access;
And whereas online e -learning will disproportionately affect students with special
needs, who may need more attention from their teachers, and students in low-
income families, who may not have access to a laptop and internet at home to do
their online course work;
Therefore be it resolved that the Township of McNab/Braeside respectfully
requests the Premier of Ontario to reconsider these online courses until rural
Ontario students can be given the same opportunity to access the internet as the
urban students; and
Be it further resolved that this motion be circulated to Ontario Premier Doug Ford,
Minister of Education Lisa M. Thompson, MPP of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke

To: Mayor and Council
From: Basia Radomski, Communications and Tourism Manager
Date: June 17, 2019
Subject: Tourism Advisory Committee Recommendation
Mayor and Council,
The Tourism Advisory Committee met on Wednesday, May 29, 2019, to work on
developing a tourism -specific strategic plan. As outlined in the Committee's Terms of
Reference, the development of a strategic plan for Council consideration is the first
point under the Committee scope section.
Lead by staff, the Committee went through an expedited Strategic Plan development
session. Much of the discussion focused on the need for a unique Clarington brand, to
help tell the Municipality's tourism story and create a connection for our community that
will compel visitors to return. The Committee felt that Clarington needs to establish and
build an identity, one that residents can relate to and one that visitors will understand
and want to experience. The Tourism Advisory Committee felt it is crucial for Clarington
to differentiate itself from the GTA and establish a brand unique to Clarington that will
set our community apart from others and will be recognizable and easy to promote.
As a result, the committee passed the following recommendation, asking Council for
direction:
Whereas the Tourism Advisory Committee convened and has begun to develop
a tourism strategic plan;
And whereas branding the Municipality has come up as the key issue, one that is
of utmost importance;
Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Tourism Advisory Committee recommends that
Council expedite the development of a branding strategy for the Municipality, which
incorporates Tourism.

Clarington Memo
The Committee has asked that staff continue to formulate a tourism -specific strategic
plan based on Committee discussion. This will be brought to Council for consideration
at a future date. However, the Committee feels that the Municipality should undertake a
larger branding exercise and adopt a new brand quickly as this is key to pursuing other
tourism strategic initiatives.
This recommendation aligns with one of Council's strategic themes as outlined in
Theme A: Engaged Communities, "establish and develop a unique Clarington brand for
promoting our community."
Should Council wish to approve the Tourism Advisory Committee's recommendation,
the following resolution would be appropriate at the General Government Committee
meeting:
That Council approve the Tourism Advisory Committee's recommendation to
expedite the development of a branding strategy for the Municipality, which
incorporates Tourism.

Report Overview
Page 2
The Director of Engineering Services has determined that this portion of the road allowances
(Given Road and McDonald Crescent) are surplus to the needs of the Municipality. The
subject portions are required by Tornat Newcastle to facilitate their development proposal.
1. Background
1.1 Tornat Newcastle Limited ("Tornat") is the owner of lands situated on the south side of
an unopened portion of Given Road in Newcastle. A draft plan of subdivision has been
approved for the lands owned by Tornat. Tornat's development proposal contemplates
the approval of Council for the closure and conveyance of portions of Given Road and
McDonald Crescent. The portions of these roads that are proposed to be closed and
conveyed are depicted in Attachment No. 1. The portion of the Given Road allowance
that remains in Municipal ownership will form part of a future municipal road that will
provide access to the Tornat development. A small portion of the McDonald Crescent
Right -of -Way will also need to be closed and conveyed to facilitate a realignment of the
Municipal road.
1.2 Council previously endorsed a road closure request for the subject section of Given
Road in 2011, however the development proposal has been modified since that time.
1.3 Tornat has submitted the formal Application for Road Closure and Conveyance that is
required under current municipal policy.
2. Next Steps for Policy and Procedure Road Closure and
Conveyance
2.1 The Application for Road Closure and Conveyance has been submitted to the
Municipality. The Director has made a determination that the road allowance is surplus
for public highway purposes and that the closure is necessary to facilitate development
of an approved plan of subdivision and related site plan.
2.2 If Council approves the closure and conveyance in principle, Tornat will be required to
pay the application fee of $500, the cost of an appraisal, advertising fees, reference
plan fees and legal fees and disbursements. The applicant shall make a payment to the
Municipality of these costs as estimated by the Director.
2.3 Upon receipt of the payment of estimated costs, the Director shall circulate the
application to all appropriate parties and agencies. If no requirements or concerns are
submitted, the processing of the application shall proceed. If requirements are noted,
the agency requirements must be addressed prior to proceeding.
2.4 The Director shall retain a qualified independent appraiser to determine the value of the
road allowance. Once the appraisal has been received by the Municipality, the applicant
shall be informed of the appraised value. If the applicant wishes to proceed, the
appraised land value must be paid to the Municipality.
54
Municipality of Clarington Page 3
Report EGD-NNN-19
2.5 The applicant will be required to prepare and register a reference plan for the lands to
be conveyed. This plan must be reviewed and approved by the Director prior to being
deposited.
2.6 Once the land value has been received and the reference plan deposited, staff will
prepare a final report to Council with a recommendation concerning the application.
Council will then consider whether to pass the appropriate by-law to authorize the
completion of the transaction.
2.7 In accordance with By-law No. 2005-022, the Municipality shall give public notice of its
intention to close and convey the road allowance. A public meeting shall be held by
Committee to hear from any parties interested in the proposed closure and conveyance.
3. Concurrence
This report has been reviewed by the Municipal Solicitor who concurs with the
recommendations.
4. Conclusion
It is respectfully recommended that Council approve that the application by Tornat
advance to the next steps identified in the road closure and conveyance policy.
5. Strategic Plan Application
Not applicable.

Report Overview
Page 2
This report recommends that Council approve new or revised surcharges for the provision of
Saturday, Sunday and Statutory Holiday interments. The report also recommends a 5%
increase in 2019 for various other cemetery service fees that are outlined on Attachment 1
and the utilization of the Ontario All -Items Consumers Price Index (CPI) for the annual
adjustment of cemetery service fees in the future. Upon adjustment in each year all
applicable service fees will be rounded upwards to the next 5 dollar increment.
1. Background
1.1 Clarington's Operations Department currently manages four active cemeteries being
Bowmanville Cemetery, Bondhead Cemetery, St. Georges Cemetery and Hampton
Union Cemetery.
1.2 The Funeral, Burial and Cremations Services Act 2002, S.O. 2002, c.33, Part 6, Section
53 (1) states that every cemetery operator who sells, assigns or transfers interment
rights or scattering rights or who permits the interment of human remains or the
scattering of cremated human remains in the cemetery shall have a care and
maintenance fund. This fund is used solely for the perpetual upkeep the cemetery. It
should be noted that 40% of the fees collected from the sale of plots and 15% from
cremation niches are placed into this fund.
1.3 In addition to the sale of plots/niches, the Municipality also charges for various other
cemetery related services that include interments, dis-interments, installation of
foundations, headstones/footstones, weekend and holiday surcharges and other
administrative related costs. The proposed cemetery fees for 2019 are provided on
Attachment 1 and for comparison reasons the cemetery rates currently in effect are
supplied as Attachment 2.

2. Discussion
2.1 The recommended cemetery fee increase for 2019 is 5%. This amount has been
compared with the rates of public cemeteries in neighbouring municipalities to which
they remain fairly consistent. For all future years, it is recommended that the annual
cemetery fee increases be based on the, November over November, Ontario All -Items
Consumers Price Index (CPI). It is expected that on average the CPI will increase
approximately 1.0 to 2.0 percent per year. This rate of increase is typical of the annual
adjustments in municipal labour costs that represent the majority of the cemetery
operating expenditures. Upon adjustment, all future revised rates will be rounded
upwards to the next 5 dollar increment. Cemetery services that are of lower cost, under
59
Municipality of Clarington
Resort OPD -006-19
Page 4
$100, will not be significantly impacted by the 5 dollar rounding adjustment as these
rates are either set by the Province of Ontario or will generally remain unchanged.
2.2 As a means to offer reasonable interment rates the Operations Department assigns an
employee to perform regular shifts at the cemeteries duties during the months of May to
November. This employee is capable of managing normal weekday and Saturday
activities with the exception of late afternoon services, multiple interments or when in -
ground casket burials are required. These types of services require extended hours
and or the assistance of an additional staff person who may need to be called -in on
overtime. The surcharge fees that are recommended for Saturday interments are
provided on Attachment 1. These rates represent the recovery of overtime costs for the
additional employee.
2.3 Cemetery staff are currently not scheduled to work shifts on Sundays or statutory
holidays. As a result, interments scheduled on these dates are subject to higher
surcharge fees as one or two staff persons are required to be called -in on overtime
depending on the type of interment. The surcharge fees recommended on Attachment 1
for Sundays and Statutory Holiday interments represent the recovery of all overtime
costs for the employee(s) as deemed necessary.
2.4 On Monday, June 10, 2019, Council approved the municipal assumption of the Orono
Cemetery formally operated by the Orono Cemetery Board. Following this direction an
application was submitted to the Bereavement Authority of Ontario, BAO, seeking
official approval for the transfer. Staff will report back in September, 2019, with an
amendment to the Municipal by-law to include Orono Cemetery and also to seek
approval to harmonize the cemetery fees with the other Clarington operated cemeteries.
2.5 This report and the attachments have been forwarded to the funeral home operators in
Clarington for their review and comment.
3. Concurrence
This report has been reviewed by the Municipal Clerk and the Director of Finance who
concur with the recommendations.
4. Conclusion
Cemetery fees need to be revised each year in order to maintain financial support for
the provision of interment and other related services. The rates recommended for 2019,
including the proposed surcharges, are comparable to other Municipal operated
cemeteries and have been established to primarily recover expenses related to staff
time.
It is therefore respectfully requested that Council approve the proposed surcharges, the
attached fee schedule for 2019 and the method of calculating service fees for each
future year using the CPI.

Report Overview
Page 2
Clarington's Diversity Advisory Committee received a request through the Municipality's
CAO's office to review and provide a recommendation to Council on the use of a Land
Acknowledgement Statement during municipal functions. This report provides some
background on this request and proposes guidelines for the use of a Land
Acknowledgement Statement.
1. Background
1.1 In 2015, the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (formerly Truth and
Reconciliation Commission of Canada) published 94 calls to action for Indigenous and
non -Indigenous Canadians to come together in a combined effort to help repair the
harm caused by residential schools and move forward with reconciliation.
1.2 Clarington, Canada and the Americas, was and still is Turtle Island. Turtle Island was
already inhabited for well over 10,000 years by traditional territories, bands and
confederacies of Indigenous people. These people called the land home before the
arrival of settlers, and in many cases, still call it home today.
1.3 Inspired by the 94 recommended calls to action contained in the National Centre for
Truth and Reconciliation report, land acknowledgements are identified as a necessary
first step towards honouring the original occupants of a place. Land acknowledgements
are a respectful, historically accurate way to recognize the traditional First Nations,
Metis and / or Inuit territories of a place. They commemorate Indigenous peoples'
principal kinship to the land.
1.4 In March 2018, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) sent a
communication (Attachment 1) to municipal representatives — "AMO Policy Update —
Guidance on Traditional Land Acknowledgement Statements" following requests by
members for support on creating a traditional Land Acknowledgement Statement for
their municipal government. The communication provides guidance to interested
municipal governments on how to draft a statement for their jurisdiction.
1.5 This communication was shared with the members of the newly formed Clarington
Diversity Advisory Committee through the CAO's office in early 2019, for review and
recommendation.
1.6 Incorporating recognition and awareness of our Indigenous community and history in
our area is not new to Clarington. As part of their inauguration at a special meeting of
this current Council of the Municipality of Clarington, held December 3, 2018, a
smudging ceremony and Land Acknowledgement Statement were included.

2. Proposal
Page 3
2.1 Staff presented an overview of the purpose of Land Acknowledgement Statements to
the Diversity Advisory Committee at a meeting in March 2019. The Committee passed
the following resolution:
"That the Council of the Municipality of Clarington open Council meetings and Municipal
events with a land acknowledgement statement. The Diversity Advisory Committee will
report back to Council with an appropriate statement after consultation with our local
Indigenous community."
2.2 On May 14, 2019, a working group of the Committee attended a meeting with Mr. Dave
Mowat, Consultation, Lands and Membership Supervisor with Mississaugas of Scugog
Island First Nation. The purpose of the meeting was to learn more about the history of
Indigenous peoples in our area and how to develop a Land Acknowledgement
Statement. These conversations and continued dialogue will serve to build deeper
awareness and strengthen relationships within our community.
2.3 The Committee also took into consideration what others in our area are doing, which
varies greatly. Examples include: The Visual Arts Centre of Clarington worked with a
representative of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation to develop a Land
Acknowledgement Statement; the City of Oshawa has included a recognition of
Indigenous Lands to their Order of Business for Regular Council Meetings; the Town of
Ajax has developed a Land Acknowledgement Statement that is shared at Council
meetings as well as on their website for use by others in the community who are hosting
events.
2.4 A draft Land Acknowledgement Statement was prepared and shared with the Diversity
Advisory Committee and Mr. Dave Mowat for agreement:
"The Municipality of Clarington is situated within the traditional and treaty territories of
the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation and the Williams Treaties First Nation of
Curve Lake, Hiawatha, Georgina Island, Beausoleil and Rama First Nations. Our work
on these lands acknowledges their resilience and their longstanding contributions to the
area now known as the Municipality of Clarington."
3. Implementation
3.1 Land Acknowledgement Statements are usually read at the introduction of meetings,
gatherings, events or presentations. For a Land Acknowledgement Statement to be
meaningful, it is important that it is delivered with a sense of purpose and authenticity. It
is not something you "just do"; rather it is a reflection process in which you build
mindfulness and intention before beginning your business or meeting.
Municipality of Clarington Page 4
Report CSD -007-19
3.2 Staff suggests that the Land Acknowledgement Statement follow the "Moment of
Reflection" at Council meetings and follow the "Call to Order" at Standing Committee
meetings.
3.3 Staff, in consultation with our local Indigenous community and the Diversity Advisory
Committee, recommend that the Acknowledgement be read aloud by the Mayor or
designate at the start of public meetings of Council and its Standing Committees, at
civic celebrations, and other official events that are hosted supported by the
Municipality. Examples of these special events include:
x Clarington For the Love of Art Mayor's Gala
x Clarington Celebrates Canada Day
x Clarington Mayor's Golf Classic (reception)
x Clarington Sports Hall of Fame (reception)
x Facility, Parks, Trails or Municipal Buildings sod turnings, grand openings
3.4 In an effort to raise awareness and provide an understanding of the history of
Indigenous Peoples in Canada, staff, in conjunction with the Diversity Advisory
Committee, will seek out learning opportunities for Mayor, Council, and staff who may
be in a position to read this Acknowledgement to ensure that these words are not being
offered without understanding of their meaning. As a start to this awareness and
education, Mr. Mowat will be speaking at our Management Staff Meeting on Tuesday
June 25, 2019 as well as providing a presentation at this GGC meeting, on Monday
June 17t"
3.5 Any costs associated with developing additional training plans would be incorporated in
a budget submission for consideration in 2020.
4. Concurrence
This report has been reviewed by the Municipal Solicitor and the Municipal Clerk who
concur with the recommendations.

5.1 It is respectfully recommended that Council approve the use of the proposed Land
Acknowledgement Statement to be read as outlined in section 3.3 and amend the

representatives of our local Indigenous community, to provide Indigenous cultural
awareness for Council and staff.

GUIDANCE ON TRADITIONAL LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
STATEMENTS
This resource was developed by HMO's recently created Indigenous Relations Task Force.
Members have requested supports on creating a traditional land acknowledgement statement for
their municipal government. The intention of this resource is therefore to provide guidance to
interested municipal governments on how to draft a statement for their jurisdiction.
WHAT ARE TRADITIONAL LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT STATEMENTS?
Traditional land acknowledgement statements are increasingly being used in Canada by
governments, schools, post -secondary institutions, non-governmental organizations, and other civil
institutions as a practice of reconciliation aimed at recognizing the traditional or treaty territories of
Indigenous peoples. The statements are typically made at the introduction of meetings, gatherings,
events, or presentations. Some are .featured on organization websites -or event description pages.
They are commonly modelled after Indigenous protocols.
While municipal governments should be mindful that inaccurately acknowledging entities and
territories may have legal implications, land acknowledgement statements are best interpreted as a
venue for recognizing what is known of past Indigenous usage and occupancy of a land. Interested
municipalities are advised to create statements specific to their jurisdictions based on legally
recognized treaty or traditional lands or to opt for a high-level general statement.
TIPS FOR CREATING YOUR. MUNICIPALITY'S LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
PROTOCOL:
Research the history of the land within and in proximity to your municipal boundaries,
including treaties, active land claim litigation and Indigenous histories. This information will
be useful in helping you craft a statement.
Some of the history of specific areas may be complex and different sources could be
contradictory. In these instances, it may be better to opt for a more general statement rather
than trying to be specific.
If your municipality has an Indigenous Relations or Reconciliation committee or if you have
an Indigenous Advisory Council, you may find it useful to have this body help you create
your municipal government's land acknowledgement statement.
W
• Municipal governments do not have to craft a land acknowledgement statement on their
own. Engage and work with local First Nations, Metis, Indigenous organizations and
community champions in your area. Advice from these groups may be useful in helping you
develop a land acknowledgement protocol for your municipal government. Some may have
also developed template acknowledgement statements for external use.
• Focus on your current neighbours and Indigenous residents with an eye towards
acknowledging past usage and occupants. Remember that in some cases, First Nations
communities may not be located on their traditional lands.
• Once your statement has been drafted, remember that it may be viewed as political.Some
may critique the acknowledgement protocol your municipal government has created. While.
you may find it useful to consider their input and view the statement as a living document,
do your best and remember that your municipality may not be able to make everyone happy.
• Some municipal governments with existing land acknowledgement protocols have
implemented a trial period (e.g. 6 months) for their statement to allow Indigenous
community members an opportunity to provide feedback.
• Determine which type of meetings and events you might wish to begin using your land
acknowledgement statement to make sure it continues to be meaningful. You may also wish
to consider whether you want to have a traditional land acknowledgement statement on your
municipality's website.
• To avoid traditional land acknowledgement statements being used superficially and without
an appreciation for their cultural meaning, some municipal governments have provided
municipal elected representatives and staff with cultural awareness training before
implementing the use of a statement.
• Some municipalities invite Indigenous Elders or leaders to participate in introduction
protocols at civic celebrations or official events to bring greetings on behalf of the local
Indigenous community. Sometimes this approach is used instead of a land acknowledgement
statement.
EXAMPLES OF STATEMENTS USED IN ONTARIO:
City of Guelph — Used at the beginning of Council meetings, civic celebrations, official events
"As we gather, we are reminded that Guelph is situated on treaty land that is steeped in rich
Indigenous history and home to many First Nations, Metis and Inuit people today. As a City, we
have a responsibility for the stewardship of the land on which we live and work. Today we
acknowledge the Mississaugas of the [New] Credit First Nation on whose traditional territory
we are meeting."
For more information: City of Guelph Territorial Acknowledgement.
Government of Ontario — High—level statement
"[Insert name of city/town] is located on the traditional territory of Indigenous peoples dating back
countless generations. I want to show my respect for their contributions and recognize the role of
treaty making in what is now Ontario. Hundreds of years after the first treaties were signed, they
are still relevant today."
.Carleton University (Ottawa) — Suggested scripts to be used before the start of university events
"We/I would like to acknowledge the Algonquin nation whose traditional and unceded territory we
are gathered upon today." Or, "We/I would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which
we gather is the traditional and unceded territory of the Algonquin nation."
For more information: Carleton University _Territory„Acknowledgement.
University of Toronto — Used in specific university ceremonies
"(We) wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands
of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the
Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to, many Indigenous
people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.”

Report CLD -015-19

Report Overview
To appoint designated Security companies as parking officers to eliminate the requirement
for Council to appoint individual employees of external services and/or specific properties.
1. Background
1.1 In order to be able to perform parking enforcement duties on private property, Section
15(1) of the Police Services Act, RSO 1990, c. P.15, requires that Private Security
Services be appointed by the Municipality.
1.2 Prior to 2016, authorizing parking enforcement on private property by external agencies
was done by way of Council approved by-laws which appointed individuals for specific
site locations.
1.3 Through Report CLD -009-16, Council adopted an alternative approach which
discontinued the appointment of "specific individuals" and replaced it with just the
named agency (e.g. Paragon). The site specific requirement was still included in the
by-law.
1.4 In 2016, through Report CLD -009-16 appointed all Nemesis Security Services staff for
two specific properties.
1.5 More recently, Council appointments have been general in that they were not site
specific nor for a specific individual. This is the case with CLOCA (Report CLD -031-16
and OPG (Report CLD -018-17), where an appointment was made by areas under their
jurisdiction. They further had to meet specific requirements such as accreditation as
Nuclear Security Guard (for OPG), training by Municipal Staff and site approval by
Municipal Staff.
2. Discussion
2.1 In March 2019, Municipal Law Enforcement was approached by Mr. Alves (Nemesis
Security Services) to request an additional property be enforced.
2.2 Municipal Staff was also approached by Kevin Bissoondyal (Paladin Security) to request
authority to enforce parking at Lakeridge Health Center. Paladin Security has not been
appointed previously in Clarington.
Municipality of Clarington Page 3
Report CLD -015-19
2.3 Security firms requesting appointments for staff have all received licenses from the
Province to act as Security Guards. The requirements set by the Province include:
x Be 18 years of age or older
x Legally eligible to work in Canada
x Clean Criminal Records check
x Take the security guard or private investigator basic training course
x Pass the security guard or private investigator basic test
2.4 Licenced Security Officers are responsible for adhering to the Private Security and
Investigative Services Act, 2005 and its regulations, including the Act's Code of Conduct
regulation.
2.5 All security guards receive training from Municipal Staff prior to be being authorized. In
addition, any issues or concerns may be easily corrected throughout the process if, and
when, needed.
2.6 All sites that may be enforced are also inspected prior to authorization being given.
This ensures that private properties are signed adequately, as per Municipal by-law.
2.7 Authority, in the form of a contract between the security company and property owner, is
also provided by the security company to the Municipality.
2.8 Based on the experience with OPG and CLOCA, the approach to general appointments
as Private Parking Officers (i.e. neither site specific, nor individual person specific) has
proven to be a successfully streamlined approach for both the external agency and the
Municipality. Staff recommends, therefore, that a general appointment by-law be enacted
for both Nemesis Security Services, and Paladin Security. As well, to provide
consistency, staff also recommends that the other external agencies who have previously
been granted site specific authority, being Paragon Security, G4S Canada also be
appointed as Private Parking Officers through the a general appointment.

This report has been reviewed by the Municipal Solicitor who concurs with the
recommendations.

Whereas subsection (1) of section 15 of the Police Services Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.15,
provides that, "A municipal council may appoint persons to enforce the by-laws of the
municipality";
And whereas Council deems it desirable to appoint Nemesis Security Services, G4 Security,
Paladin Security and Paragon Security to act as private property parking enforcement officers
solely for the properties within the Municipality that consent has been received by property
owner;
And whereas all provincially licensed Security guards receive municipal training, all sites are
approved by the Municipality;

follows:
That Nemesis Security, G4 Security, Paladin Security Services and Paragon Security is
hereby appointed as Private Property Parking Enforcement Officers.

Report Number: FND-017-19 Resolution:
File Number: By-law Number:
Report Subject: Financial Update as at March 31, 2019
Recommendations:
That Report FND-017-19 be received for information.

Report FND-017-19
Report Overview
The purpose of this report is to update Council on the overall budget variances as of March
31, 2019 as well as other financial indicators such as taxes receivable, reserve fund
investments, debt and development charges collected. Starting in 2019 there will be a
summary of Council's discretionary expenses (exclusive of salary and travel allowances).
1. Background
1.1 The financial update report has been designed to focus on overall budget variances. As
per report FND-005-19 Council Expenses are now included in this report.
2. First Quarter of 2019 Financial Results
2.1 Attachment 1, Summary of Operating Expenditures and Revenues, compares the
Municipality's budget to actual posted expenditures and revenues as of March 31, 2019.
This statement reflects the Municipality's operating budget only and excludes the year
to date expenditures of the library, museum, BIAs and consolidated hall boards. Year
to date expenditures as of March 31, 2019 totalled $21,045,843 which represents
100.3% of the first quarter budget. Year to date revenues totalled $34,043,554 which
represents 100.5% of the first quarter budget.
2.2 Attachment 1 is intended to provide an indication of the status of the Municipality's
operating accounts compared to the approved budget as of March 31, 2019. Many of
the operations of the Municipality are affected by seasonal trends such as ice rentals
and winter control. The timing of other activities can fluctuate from year to year such as
Legal and Planning revenues. To best capture the trends, the budget is allocated on a
monthly basis based on the prior year's actual monthly distribution. In cases where
there is no prior history, the monthly allocation is divided equally over the twelve
months. However, there are still variations from quarter to quarter as well as year to
year. Due to these timing differences and with only three months of activity, this
statement cannot be used in isolation, nor can it be easily extrapolated to predict the
whole year's activities. Each department is responsible for their budget. To assist with
the management of the budget, monthly trial balances are sent to each department for
regular review. Revenues and expenditures that have variance either above or below
budget that are noteworthy are discussed in this report.
2.3 Legal net expenditures are at 79.7%. As noted, the timing of legal revenues and
expenditures can vary greatly from year to year as there is no predictable trend for legal
activities.
101
Municipality of Clarington
Resort FND-017-19
Page 3
2.4 The Clerks department net expenditures are at 85.8% of the first quarter budget.
Revenues are higher than the quarterly budget at 167.6% due to increase snow clearing
fines and parking revenues. There is a corresponding expense to the parking revenues
which transfers the parking meter and fines to the parking reserve fund as an expense.
2.5 The net expenditures for Emergency Services are at 94% of the first quarter budget.
Higher revenues due to the revenues from Ontario Power Generation contribute to the
favourable results. As per the Memorandum of Understanding with Ontario Power
Generation, the Municipality has received some additional revenues. Also, revenues
from emergency calls for the Ministry of Transportation are unbudgeted. These
revenues are transferred to the Fire Reserve Fund to assist with future fire capital
purchases.
2.6 The Engineering Department has the most significant changes when compared to the
same period in the previous year. At the end of the first quarter in 2018, building permit
revenue was over 95% of the total annual budgeted amount. At the end of March 2019,
building permit revenues are at 20.8% of the 2019 total budget, if one considers that
building season starts in Q2 it would be expected that level of revenue should exceed
25%. Municipal consent permit revenues increased by $40,000. Engineering net
expenditures are at 137.1 % of the first quarter budget. The change in the building
permit revenue is the most significant impact on this figure. Expenditures are at 90% of
the first quarter budget and are most likely due to timing differences from year to year.
2.7 The Operations net expenditures are at 115.8% as of the March 31, 2019 budget.
There can be variations timing of revenue from year to year. These variances tend to
smooth out over the year. The expenditures are higher than the first quarter budget at
115.2%. The higher operating expenditures can be attributed to the extended winter
season and the response required under the Ontario Minimum Maintenance Standards.
Compared to the same period in 2018, winter control costs are 19% higher. Also, the
senior snow clearing costs are 13.5% higher than 2018 and already exceed the 2019
budgeted amount. These higher expenditures are mitigated by lower than budgets
expenditures in other areas due to the focus on winter maintenance. Flooding
continues to be a concern for the Municipality. Expenditures will increase in the second
quarter due to the Municipality's response to flooding issues throughout the
Municipality, which mainly occurred in the second quarter.
2.8 Attachment 2, Continuity of Taxes Receivable as of March 31, 2019, provides the status
of the taxes billed and collected by the Municipality during the first quarter of 2019. A
total of $43,869,193 in interim tax bills were issued to Clarington property owners in this
period. Note that the current year taxes receivable are in a credit position as payments
for the April 2019 installment have been received in March. Mortgage companies often
pay the February and April installments together in February. The net balance
($3,574,272) is 1.85% higher than the same period in 2018.

2.9 Attachment 3, Debenture Repayment Schedule provides the status of the Municipality's
long term debt obligations as of January 1, 2019. In 2019, the debt repayment
obligations are $2,841,958. The annual principal and interest payments required to
service these liabilities remain well below the annual debt repayment limits prescribed
by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.
2.10 Attachment 4, Municipal Development Charges as of March 31, 2019, provides the
municipal development charges collected separated into residential and non-residential
categories. As of March 31, 2019 residential municipal development charges collected
are $764,589. In the 2015 Development Charges Background Study, it was forecasted
that the Municipality would be collecting approximately 805 in total for 2019 or about
201 units per quarter. At the end of March 2019 there was an 82.6% decrease in
development charges collected and a 79.5% decrease in the number of units compared
to the same timeframe in 2018. This is a significant decline in development charges
collected with indications that this decline will continue into the second quarter.
2.11 As of March 31, 2019 there has been $28,752.38 in non-residential development
charges collected for one property. Non-residential development charges are based on
the area in square metres rather than per building unit cost. There are fluctuations
quarter to quarter as well as year to year in non-residential development charges.
2.12 In the 2015 Development Charges By-law 2015-035, there are a number of incentives
to encourage development in Clarington, mainly relating to multi -residential, commercial
and industrial development. There were no new incentives given in the first quarter of
2019. Since July 2015, there has been a total of $1,555,276.71 in development charge
incentives given to 15 properties. Between residential and non-residential the split is
approximately 37% and 63% respectively.
2.13 Attachment 5, Council Expenses as of March 31, 2019, summarizes Council expenses
in the first quarter of 2019. Only discretionary expenses such as event tickets,
conferences, education courses and external kilometre reimbursement are included in
this report. This report only includes transactions posted in the first quarter. Future
quarterly financial reports will report on the cumulative total of Council's expenses,
including any credits and repayments. As of March 31, 2019 a total of $4,425.66 of
expenses have been paid relating to Council discretionary expenses. Salary, tax free
allowance, OMERS equivalent, severance pay and travel allowance as per By-law
2011-005 are not included in this total.
2.14 The quarterly financial update provides an overview of investments as of March 31,
2019. Note that as per the policy the operating cash account is not included in the
following tables. Looking forward, Council has directed staff to pursue the prudent
investor regime in conjunction with ONE Investment to establish the ONE Joint
Investment Board. Prudent investor will provide the opportunity for greater flexibility,
diversification and potential for greater returns on the Municipality's investments.

Report To: General Government Committee
Date of Meeting: June 17, 2019
Report Number: FND-018-19 Resolution:
File Number: By-law Number:
Report Subject: Tax Write -Offs under Section 354(2)(a), 354(4)(a) and 354(4)(b) of the
Municipal Act, 2001
Recommendations:
That Report FND-018-19 be received; and
2. That the Treasurer be authorized, under Section 354(2)(a), 354(4)(a) and 354(4)(b) of the
Municipal Act 2001 to write-off taxes as uncollectible and charge back the proportionate
amounts to the Region of Durham and the Province of Ontario.

Resort FND-018-19
Report Overview
Page 2
The purpose of this report is to write-off taxes in cases where a tax sale is not in the best
interest of the Municipality and the dollar value is very minor in nature.
1. Background
1.1 Under Section354(4)(b) the Treasurer of a municipality may write-off taxes under clause
354(2)(a) and 354(4)(b) if the recommendations of the Treasurer includes a written
explanation of why conducting a tax sale would be ineffective or inappropriate.
1.2 Items 1 and 2 on Attachment A are private roads being used as the entrance way to
private homes. Arrangements with the original developers are no longer feasible.
Vesting these properties in the event of a failed tax sale could cause Clarington to
become responsible for maintaining these roads, which would be an unbudgeted
increased financial obligation, in comparison to the minor dollar value being written off.
See Attachments B and C.
1.3 Due to the historical nature and intended service levels at that time, it is a more viable
option to periodically write off accumulated taxes.
1.4 Items 3 and 4 on Attachment A belong to companies that are no longer in existence and
being used as walkways which are subject to rights-of-way to the adjacent property
owners. Vesting these properties after a failed tax sale would cause Clarington to
become responsible for maintaining these walkways which would be an unbudgeted
financial obligation, in comparison to the minor dollar value being written off.
1.5 There would be other legal implications as well as the risk that one of the adjacent
owners would attempt to purchase through a tax sale proceedings, even though there are
deeded rights-of-way. See Attachments D and E.
2. Concurrence
Not Applicable
3. Conclusion
The financial impact for the above write-offs for the municipality including penalty
amounts and other charges result in an impact of $1,534.07. Other charges include fees
charged for the issuance of Arrears Notices.

Report Overview
Page 2
2018/2019 has been another successful year for the Durham Municipal Insurance Pool
(DMIP) and the Municipality of Clarington has benefitted through a 2.9% (2018 — 3.4%)
premium increase.
This report is primarily an update to Council on the status of the Durham Municipal
Insurance Pool and current initiatives being undertaken.
1. Background
1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide an update to the General Government
Committee regarding the status of the Municipality's insurance program.
1.2 This report also includes a review and update of the Durham Municipal Insurance Pool,
which is now entering its nineteenth year of successful operation.
1.3 Clarington is a founding member of the DMIP which was established to achieve
financial savings by co-operatively purchasing insurance coverages with local and pool
level deductibles and by implementing common risk management practices. The pool
protects participating municipalities from increasing insurance premium costs through
an alternative risk -financing program with a higher single deductible and collectively
self-insuring claims within that deductible.
1.4 Clarington's Treasurer held the position of Chair of the Board of DMIP from inception to
September 2019. The current chair of the Board is Nancy Taylor, Commissioner of
Finance/Treasurer for the Region of Durham. A transition back to having a lower tier
representative acting as Chair is ongoing with Sheila Strain, Treasurer for the Town of
Ajax taking over for Nancy Taylor.
1.5 The DMIP was launched in July 2000 with the participation of the Town of Ajax, Town of
Whitby, Municipality of Clarington, Township of Brock, Township of Scugog, Township
of Uxbridge and the Region of Durham. The City of Oshawa joined the pool effective
July 1, 2017.
1.6 Member municipalities are provided coverage in the areas of general liability, errors and
omissions, auto liability and property insurance. The DMIP provides municipal specific
resources such as loss prevention programs, claims handling, advice for boards and
committees, site audits, review of contracts and training.
123
Municipality of Clarington Page 3
Report FND-019-19
1.7 The Municipality's insurance coverage renews on July 1, 2019, without renewing the
insurance coverage the Municipality would be at financial risk.
2. 2019/2020 Insurance Contract Renewal
2.1 Within the terms of the subscribers' agreement, DMIP members agree to make a
contribution sufficient enough to pay administration costs, expenses (including actuarial
and audit), premiums and a claim funding amount that is supported by full actuarial
projections and analyses.
2.2 DMIP members are also required to give a minimum six months' notice of termination if
they wish to leave the pool. To date no member of the pool has asked to leave while
one of the two Durham municipalities that did not originally found the pool have asked to
be admitted.
2.3 The DMIP has been able to position itself to minimize the impact of increases in
insurance premiums paid to insurance companies related to property, casualty and
liability coverages.
2.4 For 2019/2020, the DMIP negotiated with the insurer and has secured the broadest and
most comprehensive coverage available to municipalities with a nominal rate increase
in the insurance premium and claim funding for the 2019/2020 policy year. This
increase is partially offset by an increase in investment income. Overall, the net cost for
the annual DMIP insurance program has increased by 2.9 per cent. The inflation factor
experienced in the broader municipal sector is ranging between 6 and 8 percent.
2.5 We also continue to benefit from a three year rate stability agreement with the Frank
Cowan Company, which is a significant benefit for the Durham Municipal Insurance
Pool members. Essentially, premium increases are a direct relation to increased
volumes as unit prices for vehicles and property remain the same.
2.6 The 2.9% increase reflects the conditions in the broader insurance marketplace,
including general increase in judicial awards, the increasing litigious nature of society
and insurance rate increases for weather related events, such as hurricanes and
wildfires.
2.7 The Board of Directors of the Durham Municipal Insurance Pool has placed coverage
with the Frank Cowan Company for an integrated pooling arrangement.

3. Benefits of an Insurance Pool
3.1 The main components of the structure of the Durham Municipal Insurance Pool
arrangements are summarized as follows:
x Each municipality retains their respective current deductibles ranging from $5,000 to
$100,000 (Clarington's deductibles are primarily $25,000 (liability) and $5,000 (fleet);
x The pool self -insures losses between these local deductibles and a per claim limit of
$500,000 (on a group basis) for integrated coverages;
x Under this structure, local municipalities are responsible for funding losses from $0 to
their individual deductible amounts ($25,000 in the case of Clarington);
x Between these local municipal deductibles and the pooled retention limit of $500,000,
the eight (8) members share the cost on a collective basis; and
x Excess of a $500,000 per claim loss, the members purchase insurance from municipal
insurers for protection on a collective basis against catastrophic claim losses.
3.2 During its nineteen years of existence, this innovative risk financing venture continues to
be a highly effective method by which the municipalities have enjoyed:
x Broader insurance coverage;
x Control over the costs of insurance claims below the $500,000 deductible;
x Pro -active, comprehensive and coordinated risk management services to reduce
property and liability exposures;
x Increased investment income on the retained portion of the pre -funded claims loss
reserve; and
x Increased price stability.
3.3 As the DMIP is self-funded to a degree, there are opportunities for surpluses to be
refunded to the Municipality. The Municipality has received refunds in 2014 ($202,950),
2016 ($223,500) and 2017 ($544,740) for a total refund of $971,190.
3.4 At the May DMIP Board meeting it was approved that from 2020 to 2028 the founding
members (including Clarington) would receive an annual payment from the accumulated
surplus in the pool. It is estimated, subject to annual review, that the Municipality will
receive $91,100/year. In keeping with past practice this will be used to fund risk
management initiatives (including safety audits, sign replacement, and other projects
which lowers the risk to the Municipality and residents).

4. Non -Pool Alternatives
Overview
4.1 If the Municipality were to exit the DMIP it would have to look for outside insurance
providers. There are several considerations to making a decision like this.
4.2 There is no guarantee that the Municipality would see savings by leaving the DMIP.
The overall municipal insurance market in Ontario is becoming less competitive with
fewer providers of insurance. Further, with escalating costs in Ontario (in part due to
joint and several liability) providers are charging larger premiums.
4.3 If the Municipality left the pool its insurance coverage would be based solely on its
claims history rather than being part of a pool. This has the effect of increasing volatility
in the premium cost. In good years premium increases may be low while following years
of a claim or two there could be double digit increases in premiums.
4.4 Recently the City of Ottawa was faced with a 25% increase in premiums, and a
reduction in claim limit from $25million to $10million, due to several major incidents over
the past six years. In January when Ottawa went to market only their incumbent
provider would provide coverage, this provider was Frank Cowan (who is also the DMIP
insurer).
4.5 The pool mitigates the volatility for all members by allowing the claims history of all
members to be used to determine the overall risk for the insurer. If one municipality has
a bad year it is offset by a municipality that may have had a better year. All
municipalities benefit from the ability to get insurance at a lower rate than they may
otherwise be able to achieve at deductibles that make sense to them.
City of Pickering
4.6 In the Region of Durham there is only one municipality which is not a member of the
Durham Municipal Insurance Pool. The City of Pickering uses a difference insurance
provider, currently Jardine Lloyd Thompson Canada Inc. (JLT, which recently
purchased Marsh in 2019).
4.7 It is important to note that coverages received by the Municipality of Clarington differ
from those of the City of Pickering which does impact the insurance premium each
municipality pays.
126
Municipality of Clarington
Resort FND-019-19
Page 6
4.8 The City of Pickering has a $5,000,000 general liability limit for any one occurrence and
in aggregate during the policy period (they have purchased excess liability to provide
aggregate up to $50,000,000). The City also has a $100,000 deductible. The
Municipality of Clarington has a $50,000,000 general liability limit for any one
occurrence, with no annual aggregate limit. The Municipality's general liability
deductible is $25,000.
4.9 The City of Pickering must adjudicate its own claims or hire an outside party to do so.
The Municipality of Clarington's claims are adjudicated by the DMIP, or a party hired
and paid for by the DMIP. Adjudication costs from a third party could be approximately
$120/hour with a typical minimum of approximately $1,000.
4.10 The City of Pickering also has staff dedicated to the insurance portfolio whereas the
Municipality of Clarington does not. Staff time with insurance in Clarington is mainly
liaising with the pool rather than administration and adjudication of claims.
4.11 Based on the 2018/2019 year:
x 52 claims were adjudicated internally by the DMIP. This is a service value of at least
$52,000.
x 66 new claims during the year, at least 1 is already above $25,000. 18 of these new
claims are bodily injury claims which most likely will result in amounts greater than
$25,000.
4.12 Based on the approximate $400,800 difference in premiums:
x At least $52,000 of the difference would be attributed to claim adjudication;
x It is estimated that an increase in the deductible to $100,000 would result in increased
costs to the Municipality of $161,000 on average. Some years could be higher or lower
than this amount. This increased volatility would require the Municipality to budget for
reserves to cover increased claims.
x Training for insurance related matters such as changes to the construction act,
cannabis legislation, risk management training, would have all been in addition to the
premium paid for insurance. This is a value of thousands of dollars per year that
benefits staff and taxpayers.
4.13 At this time, Staff feel that the Municipality benefits through lower deductibles, increased
training, risk management expertise, claims adjudication services, and stable insurance
premium costs provide support that the DMIP is meeting the needs of the Municipality in
a cost effective manner.

Report Overview
Page 2
The Province of Ontario has provided funding to large urban municipalities to conduct line by
line reviews to find 4% cost savings. This funding is application based and must be
completed with a final report being publicly available by November 30, 2019. Staff have
identified one project which may be eligible and feasible under this program.
1. Background
Audit and Accountability Fund — Funding Announcement
1.1 On May 21, 2019, the Province of Ontario announced that they would be providing $7.35
million for large urban municipalities and district school boards interested in conducting
line -by-line reviews to identify potential savings, while maintaining vital front-line services,
through the Audit and Accountability Fund. (Province of Ontario News Release May 21,
2019)
1.2 Earlier in 2019, the Province of Ontario had announced funding to small and rural
municipalities in Ontario to improve efficiencies. This funding was not tied to specific
projects but rather provided for the use of the municipality to invest in infrastructure or
process reviews to improve the efficiency of service delivery. The Municipality of
Clarington did not receive any funding under this program.
1.3 On May 22, 2019, the Municipality received a letter from the Honourable Steve Clark,
Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing regarding the announcement and indicating that
the funding would be application based.
1.4 The Municipality received the guidelines for the program on May 29, 2019, indicating that
if the Municipality of Clarington was interested in applying to the program that we should
contact the Municipal Services Office to confirm intent by June 14, 2019 and that an
Expression of Interest form and supporting documents be submitted by June 30, 2019.
Eligible Projects
1.5 To be eligible, a proposed review project must:
1. Review municipal service delivery expenditures to find efficiencies. This could
include:
xa line -by-line review of the entire budget;
xa review of service delivery and modernization opportunities;
xa review of administrative processes to reduce costs.
2. Result in a final report by the independent third -party reviewer that provides specific
and actionable recommendations for cost savings and improved efficiencies.
3. Be completed by November 30, 2019. The Municipality would also be required to
post the document publicly by November 30, 2019.
130
Municipality of Clarington
Resort FND-021-19
Page 3
1.6 The program will not cover costs for projects to identify opportunities for revenue
generation or reductions in front line services. The review must be completed by an
independent third party resulting in a formal report.
1.7 The expectation from the Province is that municipalities will find 4% savings. Based on
the 2019 Municipal Tax Levy, this would result in a required savings of approximately
$2.4 million. Further, there can be no front-line service cuts in reaching these savings.
2. Potential Projects
Overview
2.1 Staff met to discuss possible options for this funding. A major concern expressed by staff
is the November 30, 2019 deadline. This limits the ability to conduct a corporate wide
service delivery review, similar to what was conducted by Whitby recently, as the allotted
time to complete the project would be less than six months.
2.2 A further concern is the ability to find $2.4 million in savings without cutting any services.
While it is possible that savings could be obtained, the quantum (particularly if a smaller
scoped review was conducted) may be difficult to attain. A service delivery review is to
evaluate the value, process and opportunities for improvement. While cost savings are
always sought, it is not a guaranteed outcome.
Organizational Structure Review
2.3 A number of years ago, Council included in the annual budget funds to the CAO for the
completion of smaller service delivery reviews. To date these have included Animal
Services (2017) and Tourism (2018) and a review of forestry services is proposed for
2019. These smaller service delivery reviews, on top of the annual process of reviewing
the budget, in part meet the expectation that the Province has on municipalities
continuously ensuring efficient service delivery.
2.4 Staff feel that the leading candidate for a project under this funding would be a review of
our senior administrative structure. The last time an organizational review occurred was
in 2000, resulting in the current structure. Since that time the Municipality has grown
from 69,834 (2001 Census) to over 95,000 today.
2.5 In 2017, Report CAO -007-17 was provided to Committee outlining research in
organizational structure reviews in other municipalities. At that time no further action was
taken. The availability of this funding would allow the Municipality to conduct a review of
the organization keeping in mind pending retirements, changes in service delivery, and
best practices in the industry.
Smaller Service Delivery Reviews
2.6 There are several service delivery reviews already planned and budgeted for in 2019.
The Forestry Services review will be undertaken shortly provided that Council approves
the RFP for that review has recently closed. Operations staff are also conducting a
131
Municipality of Clarington Page 4
Report FND-021-19
review on winter control internally per direction from Council during the 2019 budget
deliberations. Both of these projects would not be able to meet the savings requirements
that are requested by the Province and therefore are not strong candidates.
Sole Sourcing Provider
2.7 The funding requires the use of an independent third party consultant / service provider in
order to be eligible for the program.
2.8 Given that costs need to be available by June 30 to include in the expression of interest,
approval will be received in the summer and the work needs to be completed and a final
report publicly available by November 30, 2019. The ability to follow regular open
procurement processes are severely hindered.
2.9 It is recommended that in order to proceed, if Council so chooses, that Staff be allowed to
sole source the consultant in order to expedite the project being undertaken. This is not
ideal and not regular business; however an open process may not allow the project to be
completed within this timeframe since we will not know if we have funding until July or
August of this year.
2.10 It is estimated that project will be excess of $100,000. The Province would be paying
100% of the project, if we are successful in our application.
3. Concurrence
This report has been reviewed by the Manager of Internal Audit who concurs with the
recommendations.
4. Conclusion
It is respectfully recommended that Staff be directed to undertake the Organizational
Structure Review, pending Province of Ontario funding, utilizing a sole source
procurement in order to meet the deadlines of the Audit and Accountability Fund funding.

Date of Meeting: June 17, 2019
Report Number: LGL -006-19 Resolution:
File Number: L1000-39 By-law Number: 2003-046
Report Subject: Repeal and Replacement of Lot Maintenance By-law 2003-046
Recommendations:
1. That Report LGL -006-19 be received; and
2. That the draft By-law attached to Report LGL -006-19 (as Attachment 1) be approved.
134
Municipality of Clarington

Report Overview
Page 2
x By-law 2003-046 is a by-law to provide that land shall be kept clean and clear of
refuse and debris.
x For reasons set out in this report, it is recommended that the by-law be replaced with
a new and improved version.
1. Background
1.1 Clarington BV -law 2003-046 is a by-law to promote the elimination of debris, standing
water, long grass, and weeds on private property. This by-law is frequently relied on by
Municipal Law Enforcement Officers during the summer months to address minor
nuisances associated with properties that are unsafe or untidy.
1.2 Upon receipt of a complaint, Municipal Law Enforcement will attend at a property to
investigate whether enforcement action is needed.
1.3 If necessary, a Municipal Law Enforcement Officer is authorized to issue an order to
require a property owner to comply with the by-law. If an owner fails to comply with an
order within a reasonable amount of time, the by-law provides that the Municipality may
hire a contractor to perform the work. In 2018, approximately 260 orders were issued by
Municipal Law Enforcement Officers. Of that number, approximately 20 property owners
did not voluntarily comply with an order. In those instances, the Municipality performed
the necessary work and charged the cost back to the owner.
2. Analysis
2.1 In discussions between Municipal By-law Enforcement staff and the Municipal Solicitor, it
has been determined that several corrections, clarifications, and functional improvements
to the by-law are needed to make the by-law more transparent and effective. Due to the
number of changes, it is more efficient to repeal the existing by-law and replace it with a
new by-law. Although the basic purpose and effect of the new by-law would be the same
as the existing by-law, the proposed changes would improve the enforcement situation
for staff and residents. The changes to the by-law are briefly summarized below.
Administrative Fees
2.2 The current by-law imposes a 25% administrative fee in addition to any costs that are
recovered from a non-compliant owner. Staff recommend that a fixed fee of $50.00 is a
simpler and more appropriate fee that better represents the Municipality's cost of
administration.
135
Municipality of Clarington
Resort LGL -006-19
Powers of Entry
Page 3
2.1 The Municipality is empowered by the Municipal Act to pass by-laws that provide for the
entry of Municipal staff onto private property at any reasonable time for the purpose of an
inspection to determine compliance with the by-law. Staff recommend that this power be
expressly provided within the new by-law to improve transparency.
Default
2.2 It is also recommended that the new by-law expressly provide that in the event that an
owner does not comply with a work order, the Municipality will perform the work and
recover the cost from the owner.
Set Fines
2.3 It is recommended that the new by-law include set fine offences to provide for an
additional deterrent to non-compliant property owners. Please note however that the set
fines will require the approval of the Ministry of the Attorney General before they can be
fully implemented. If the new by-law is enacted by Council, the Municipal Solicitor will
apply to the Ministry for set fine approval.
Obstruction
2.4 The proposed by-law would make it an offence to obstruct an Enforcement Officer in the
performance of their duties.
By-law Name
2.5 It is recommended that the new by-law be given the informal title of the "Clean and Clear
By-law", rather than the existing usage of the "Lot Maintenance By-law". The proposed
terminology better aligns with that of the enabling language of the Municipal Act.
General
2.6 The proposed by-law has been drafted to correct and clarify several enforcement
provisions, and to eliminate any provisions from the current by-law that have become
obsolete.
3. Concurrence
This report has been reviewed by the Municipal Clerk who concurs with the
recommendations.
136

It is respectfully submitted that proposed by-law will enhance the Municipality's ability to

Municipality of Clarington
Report CAO -005-19
Report Overview
Page 2
This Report provides Council with information to inform a decision respecting the possible
merger of the Clarington Library Board and the Clarington Museum and Archives Board.
1. Background
1.1 At its meeting on February 25, 2019, Council passed the following resolution
(#CG -114-19 and #C-252-16):
That staff consult with the Clarington Museum and Archives, Visual Arts and
Library Boards regarding the possibility of operating under a single board, and
report back to the General Government Committee prior to summer recess.
1.2 In October 2016, Council first considered the possibility of amalgamating the Clarington
Museum and Archives Board (the "Museum Board") with the Library Board (see Report
LGL -006-16) LGL -006-16. Sections 3.11 through 3.16 of that Report outlined some of
the issues that would have to be considered as part of any proposed amalgamation.
That report also provided a history of both Boards.
1.3 At the May 22, 2019 meeting of the Library Board, the following resolution was passed:
That the Clarington Public Library Board advise the Municipality of Clarington
that it is interested in proceeding to the next step in the possible merger of the
Library and the Museum.
1.4 At a meeting of the Museum Board held on June 6, 2019, the Board discussed the
possibility of merging with the Library Board, but no resolution was passed. The Board
will be meeting on June 13, 2019. Any resolution passed by the Board will be provided
with an update memo to Committee prior to the June 17, 2019 GGC meeting.
2. Visual Arts Centre
2.1 As directed by Council, the Visual Arts Centre ("VAC") was contacted regarding the
possibility of merging. The issue was discussed at a meeting of the VAC's Board of
Directors. The position of the Board is set out in a letter from the VAC's Executive
Director dated April 5, 2019 (see Attachment 1 to this Report).
2.2 Given the VAC's response, staff did not pursue the possibility of amalgamating with the
VAC any further.
139
Municipality of Clarington
Resort CAO -005-19
3. Museum and Library Boards
Page 3
3.1 As was noted in Report LGL -006-16, libraries, museums and archives are natural
partners for collaboration and cooperation because they serve the same community in
similar ways. They offer universal access, support for life-long learning that enhances
community development, and act as gathering places for social interaction and
engagement.
3.2 With respect to both operations and governance, there are many opportunities to create
synergies by linking these types of organizations. What follows is a summary of the
issues that need to be considered as part of any merger discussion involving the
Museum Board and the Library Board.
Governance
3.3 Both Boards are independently appointed boards that provide governance and
oversight while operating at arm's length from the Municipality. This would not change
under a merger. The only way to change this basic governance model would be to
reestablish the Museum Board as a committee of Council. This option was discussed in
Report LGL -006-16, but not pursued on the basis that it would effectively replicate the
existing Museum Board's structure but eliminate some of its benefits — i.e. involvement
of Board members from different parts of the community with specific knowledge and
expertise; strong volunteer base; and more expeditious decisions.
3.4 Both Boards have been created and are operated in accordance with legislative
requirements and standards. The Ministry's qualifying requirements and mandated
reports are very similar for both Boards.
3.5 Section 20(d) of the Public Libraries Act states that a library board "may operate special
services in connection with a library as it considers necessary". This language indicates
a public library board could operate a museum.
3.6 The Museum must operate in accordance with the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and
Sport's "Standards for Community Museums in Ontario" (the "Standards"). The
Standards provide that "a community museum must be ... governed by a publicly
accountable body" with "a written mandate, which may take the form of a constitution
with by-laws, an act, a municipal charter, etc.... that establishes its legal, non-profit
status and purpose, and its objectives." The Standards further provide that "[t]he
governing body of a museum may be an elected or appointed Board of Trustees or
Directors, or a Management or Advisory Board or Committee of municipal officials.
Whatever its formation, it is the legal entity that is accountable to the public and to the
museum community for the policy, financing and administration of the museum."
140
Municipality of Clarington
Resort CAO -005-19
Page 4
The governing body must be "solely responsible for the operation of the museum" and it
"cannot have a mandate that includes other municipal entities (e.g. libraries, tourist
offices, or recreation centres)". This language gives rise to a potential issue regarding
eligibility for a provincial Community Museum Operating Grant ("CMOG") (discussed
below).
3.7 Other governance issues are addressed in the confidential memorandum from Hicks
Morley dated April 30, 2019 (copy attached).
Government (Municipal, Provincial and Federal) Funding
3.8 The Municipal operating grant covers approximately 73% of the Museum's annual
operating expenses. Approximately 93% of the Library's annual operating expenses are
funded by the Municipality.
3.9 The Library's annual Provincial grant (PLOG) is approximately $75,000 — 80,000
($78,320 in 2018).
3.10 The Museum has received an annual CMOG in the amount of $25,161 every year since
2006 with the exception of 2012 when it received nothing due to non-compliance with
the Standards.
3.11 One of the challenges in terms of a merger is the risk of losing the CMOGs. It may be
possible to avoid the loss of CMOGs through a board structure that has cross -
appointments to two separate but closely related boards. Another possibility would be to
establish the Museum "board" as a committee or subcommittee of the Library Board
(with separate meeting agendas, minutes and bank accounts). Other municipalities in
Ontario have created governance structures that have effectively allowed for a merged
approach while maintaining compliance with the Standards and preserving CMOGs.
3.12 Even if the provincial grant money is lost because of a governance change, the benefits
of restructuring may outweigh the loss of the CMOG. In other words, the efficiencies
achieved though combining the two business units under a single governance structure
may outweigh an annual loss of $25,161. The Municipality can operate a museum as it
sees fit — but if it is not done in accordance with the Standards, the CMOGs will not be
available.
3.13 Both the Library and the Museum receive special project funding from Federal grants
that cover wages for summer students. The Museum also receives federal funding for
special museum -related projects. These special project grants are designated only for
special projects and do not cover operating expenses. They are considered an "in and
141
Municipality of Clarington
Resort CAO -005-19
Page 5
out" because if the funding is not received, there are no expenses related as the project
will not go forward.
Staffing
3.14 The Museum currently has a total staff complement of four full-time, one part-time and
eight occasional workers. One staff member is currently on maternity leave. Two of the
full time employees are non-union (Executive Director and Curator). One part-time
employee (archivist) is non-union. Two full-time employees (program coordinator and
clerk) and eight occasional workers (interpreters) are members of CUPE Local 74-03.
There were a total of approximately 50 volunteers in 2018. The Museum also uses
coop students — high school and college level. In 2018, the Museum employed six
summer students - three from Youth Canada Works (75% grant) and three from Canada
Summer Jobs (at 100%).
3.15 The Library currently has eight full time employees and six part-time employees who are
non-union and 42 members of CUPE Local 74-00. The Library also uses some coop
students and students through Young Canada Works.
3.16 At this point, staff have not identified any anticipated redundancies if a merger were to
proceed.
3.17 There could be pay equity implications if the two Boards merge because the
Municipality is considered the Library Employer for Pay Equity purposes. As such, there
is a likely impact related to absorbing the Museum employees into the Library
employment infrastructure. The process would require an evaluation of individual
positions in relationship to benchmarked positions within the Library Pay Equity
established Plan. These costs have not been fully explored, but our initial review
suggests that there would be a financial impact.
3.18 CUPE Local 74 includes three sub units under the one Local, with representation by the
same President who negotiates with the Municipality, Library and Museum for working
conditions related to each bargaining unit. Many of the conditions are patterned after
the Municipality's agreement with CUPE and as such there are many common working
conditions amongst the three units. The confidential memorandum from Hicks Morley
attached to this memorandum discusses the potential for the CUPE Collective
Agreements to be merged or remain independent governing documents until their
negotiated terms expire. If there is a merger, a new collective agreement would have to
be negotiated with CUPE, and ultimately may require approval from the Ontario Labour
Relations Board.
142
Municipality of Clarington Page 6
Report CAO -005-19
Operational Impacts
3.19 Merger may allow for some efficiencies to be found in administrative expenses. For
example, the Museum could realize savings in accounting fees ($8,000) paid to an
external bookkeeper, printing and photocopying services, and the purchase of office
supplies.
3.20 Although the Museum and Library have similar Council -appointed Board governance
structures, the Museum does not have access to the same level of support from
Municipal departments. At the direction of Council, this could change following a
merger.
3.21 The Museum would benefit greatly by accessing the online volunteer training modules
that the Library utilizes for providing legislated training to their volunteers.
Policies
3.22 Both Boards have similar policies (e.g. governance, personnel, collections, financial) to
ensure consistency, equity and transparency. The Museum policies are still in the
process of being reviewed and updated, and a closer mirroring of the applicable
Municipal and Library policies would be beneficial to the Museum.
Collaborative Projects
3.23 Even without a merger, there are several collaborative projects that can be, and are
being, pursued. Examples include technology sharing (digitization project for
newspapers) and cross promotions (e.g. a new program to provide free access to all
museum sites with a library card).
4. Concurrence
Not Applicable
5. Conclusion
It is respectfully recommended that Council provide direction to staff respecting the
possible merger of the two Boards.

Report Overview
Page 3
The Cedar Crest Beach Road portion of the Port Darlington (west shore) reach has
experienced flooding in 2017 and again in 2019. Prior to this flooding the residents
approached the Municipality seeking a solution to address shoreline erosion. This report
focuses on shoreline erosion and how it can be mitigated. This report summarizes what has
occurred over the past three years, the studies that have been undertaken, and subsequent
recommendations and requests of the Municipality by the Central Lake Ontario Conservation
Authority Board. This report recommends additional actions by the Municipality and
Conservation Authority and includes requests of other levels of government.
1. Background
1.1 The reach of Lake Ontario shoreline that is the subject of this report, referred to
hereafter as the Port Darlington (west shore) reach, extends from the St. Marys Cement
docking facility eastward to the piers at the mouth of Bowmanville / Soper Creek
(approximately 1,800 metres). Both the Westside Creek watershed and Bowmanville
Creek watersheds drain into Lake Ontario along this stretch of shoreline, each by way of
a Provincially Significant Coastal Wetland Complex and dynamic barrier beach system.
The shoreline is subject to multiple natural hazards, including flooding, erosion and
dynamic beach, and to riverine flood hazard from the adjacent creek and marsh
systems.
1.2 On June 20, 2016, a petition from residents on Cedar Crest Beach was brought forward
to General Government Committee calling for the development and implementation of a
comprehensive shoreline protection plan to address erosion concerns along the Port
Darlington (west shore) reach. The purpose of this petition was to request municipal
expertise and assistance with coordinating a unified plan for erosion mitigation on
private lands in the area. In response to this request, Council approved resolution
#GG -341-16 referring the petition to Staff and requesting a report to outline
recommendations.
1.3 Following a detailed review of available background information, consultation with the
petitioners, St. Marys Cement, Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA)
and Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority (GRCA), and the presentation of options
in Report EGD -015-17, a series of resolutions respecting shoreline safety and erosion
were approved. Council directions are set out in the following resolutions (see
Attachment 1):

1.4 In September 2017, an update on the status of the above resolutions was provided in
Report CAO -009-17. In addition, Report CAO -009-17 outlined a joint agreement
between Municipal and CLOCA Staff to update and complete the Port Darlington
Shoreline and Flood Damage Centre Study Draft Report (Aqua Solutions; Mar. 2004).
This update was considered a necessary first step in determining potential future
courses of action related to shoreline management in the Port Darlington (west shore)
reach. Resolution #GG -420-17 approved financing to update the study from the
Westside / Bowmanville Marsh Reserve Fund.
1.5 Also in September 2017, concurrent with this area specific review, a collaborative
undertaking was initiated to update the more extensive Lake Ontario Shoreline
Management Plan (Sandwell Swan Wooster Inc.; Dec. 1990) (referred to hereafter as
"the Sandwell Report"). This coastal engineering study was originally prepared in 1990
for the Central Lake Ontario, Ganaraska Region and Lower Trent Conservation
Authorities. It provided shoreline management direction for each authority's respective
Lake Ontario shoreline area, extending approximately 135 km along the north shore of
Lake Ontario. The Sandwell Report included the definition of flood and erosion limits for
the shoreline within the boundaries of the three Conservation Authorities and land use
considerations that inform development requirements (e.g. setback requirements,
Regulatory Shoreline Area) today. In 2018, an update of this plan was jointly initiated
by CLOCA, GRCA and Lower Trent Conservation, with support from the affected
municipalities. Staff are participating on the project steering committee.
1.6 In late 2017, Aqua Solutions 5 Inc. was retained by CLOCA for the update and
completion of the 2004 Port Darlington Shoreline and Flood Damage Centre Study Draft
Report. As a component of this project, sub -consultant W.F. Baird & Associates
Coastal Engineers Ltd. was retained to examine the shoreline processes in the Port
Darlington (west shore) reach and to identify potential engineering solutions at a
conceptual level to address shoreline erosion. Further, CLOCA prepared a Report on
Flooding, assessing the impacts of riverine and Lake Ontario flooding on the Port
Darlington (west shore) reach and potential flood mitigation options. The findings and
recommendations of these supporting studies were integrated into and informed the
recommendations of the Draft Proposed Port Darlington (West Shore) Shoreline
Management Report.
1.7 On March 19, 2019, the Draft Proposed Port Darlington (West Shore) Shoreline
Management Report (Aqua Solutions 5 Inc.; Dec. 2018) and supporting studies (draft
Port Darlington Shore Protection Concepts (Baird & Associates; Nov. 2018) and draft
Port Darlington Community Shoreline Management Plan: Report on Flooding (CLOCA;
Nov. 2018) were presented to the CLOCA Board. An outline of the study findings and
CLOCA Staff recommendations are provided in CLOCA Staff Report 5630-19
(Attachment 2). The resulting CLOCA Board Resolution #38 is provided as
Attachment 3.

1.8 On May 21, 2019, Clarington Council referred CLOCA Board Resolution #38 to Staff to
report back at the General Government Committee meeting of June 17, 2019. The
following matters set out in the resolution require certain action by the Municipality:
x Consultation on the development of a "long-term incremental voluntary land
disposition program" for select lands in the Port Darlington (west shore) reach;
x Implementation of shoreline natural hazard policies in the Municipal zoning by-
laws;
x Consideration and implementation of options to improve safe access along
municipal roads in the Port Darlington (west shore) reach, where feasible and
appropriate; and
x tRsuit of a shoreline erosion control engineering solution for a portion of the Port
Darlington (west shore) reach, pending the results of negotiations with potential
funding partners.
1.9 The purpose of this report is to inform Council on the above matters, outline the
potential implications for the Municipality, and provide recommendations. In addition,
Council referred the delegations of May 27 regarding Council's consideration of CLOCA
Board Resolution #38 to Staff. These delegations have been considered when
preparing this Report, as well as additional correspondence received by the Municipality
subsequent to the consideration of CLOCA Staff Report 5630-19 by the CLOCA Board.
2. Long-term Voluntary Land Disposition Program
2.1 CLOCA Board Resolution #38, item 3, recommends that:
...consultations be commenced, to be led in collaboration between the Municipality
of Clarington, Region of Durham and CLOCA, for the development of a Long -Term
Incremental Voluntary Land Disposition Program for lands in the Port Darlington
Area that are deemed to have unacceptable risk from natural hazards, based on the
principle of willing seller -willing buyer...
2.2 Long-term incremental voluntary land disposition refers to an approach to gradually shift
the land from private ownerships to public ownership by paying fair market value at the
time the land owner chooses to sell. Voluntary disposition was recommended as the
long term solution to resolve unacceptable risk from natural hazards. This
recommendation came from the Draft Proposed Port Darlington (West Shore) Shoreline
Management Report (Aqua Solutions 5 Inc.; Dec. 2018).
151
Municipality of Clarington Page 6
Report CAO -006-19
2.3 The majority of respondents who provided comments on the studies did not favour a
voluntary disposition program, primarily due to fear that actual value of the property will
not be realized in the process and loss of community vibrancy. It was seen by
respondents as a last resort. Respondent's recommended additional incentives be
considered, such as lease -back and life estate options allowing the current owners to
stay for a period of time.
2.4 According to CLOCA Staff Report 5630-19 (Attachment 2), CLOCA recommends that a
voluntary disposition program be developed for the lands within the Port Darlington
(west shore) reach that do not have safe access and where it is not feasible to provide it
in the future. As recommended, "the program should define eligibility criteria based
upon level of hazard risk, should ensure fair market value for acquisitions, be based on
a willing seller/willing buyer principle and should include incentives for willing sellers.
Funding for the program should be researched, but should be provided at least in part
by senior levels of government. Federal funding may become available through special
programs, and additional municipal funding would need to be in reserve."
2.5 Each collaborator referenced in CLOCA Board Resolution #38 has an independent land
acquisition strategy. CLOCA's land acquisition strategy (2012) identifies Primary and
Secondary acquisition areas. Lands surrounding CLOCAs current holdings are all listed
as Primary acquisition areas. However the lands surrounding the
Bowmanville/Westside Marsh Conservation Area are not specifically identified for
acquisition. Rather, CLOCAs efforts are to be placed on restoration activities at this
location. In addition, CLOCAs land acquisition strategy targets areas of natural heritage
value rather than erosion protection. It could be argued that acquiring the dynamic
beach area in front of Westside Marsh would provide significant buffering for Westside
Marsh, which is of high natural heritage value.
2.6 The Region of Durham has created a land acquisition policy titled "Durham Region Land
Acquisition Policy for Conservation Authorities, 2007" for the acquisition of greenlands
in the Region of Durham. It sets out environmental and financial criteria and is available
to Conservation Authorities subject to project approval and annual funding allocation.
Durham Region continues to be CLOCA's largest financial supporter for land
acquisition.
2.7 Clarington's Land Acquisition Strategy is a guide for the acquisition of land for various
public uses, such as parks, indoor recreation facilities, fire halls, libraries, civic precincts
and trails. Lands are acquired through a variety of mechanisms including purchases,
donations, dedication, and tax arrears.
2.8 The Municipality has strategically been acquiring lands in Clarington, and in particular
along the Lake Ontario waterfront, since 2000. Reasons for public acquisition include
recreation, community facilities, ecologically significant areas, public safety, and
transportation. Specifically along the waterfront, priority has historically been based on
acquisition for municipal park purposes. Waterfront acquisitions have been carried out
as properties have become available on a willing seller/buyer basis with the exception of
152
Municipality of Clarington Page 7
Report CAO -006-19
specific strategic properties which the Municipality expropriated to create the East and
West Beach portions of the Port Darlington District Park.
2.9 On October 10, 2017, the Municipality's current Land Acquisition Strategy, was
approved by Council as the guide for acquiring land and budgeting for its acquisition.
Waterfront acquisitions for Bowmanville were confined to the Port Darlington District
Park area along West Beach Road. The lands along Cedar Crest Beach Road are not
identified a part of the current Municipal Land Acquisition Strategy.
2.10 The Draft Proposed Port Darlington (West Shore) Shoreline Management Report (Aqua
Solutions 5 Inc.; Dec. 2018) report outlines the basis for recommending a voluntary land
disposition program as the presence of the multiple natural hazards could potentially
impact the area and the associated risks to humans and property. CLOCA
recommends that consultation with affected property owners be commenced as a first
step in the development of an acquisition program. Affected property owners include
the owners of those lands which have been determined to have an unacceptable risk
from flooding and erosion, and where it is not feasible to adequately mitigate the risks in
the future. It is estimated 52 properties would be affected, including 12 residential
properties on West Beach Road (the remainder are owned by the Municipality) and 40
residential properties on Cedar Crest Beach Road (the remainder are owned by the
Municipality or St. Marys Cement).
2.11 CLOCA cites the need for additional municipal funding allocation to support such a
voluntary land disposition program. For the Municipality to add the affected properties
into the Municipal Land Acquisition Strategy, an overall review of the priorities, estimate
of acquisition costs and financial analysis would be necessary.
2.12 Comprehensive planning of Clarington's waterfront by the Municipality dates back to the
early 1990's. This work provided the basis for a long-term strategic plan for the
enhancement, preservation and development of the Lake Ontario waterfront in
Clarington. Amongst the priorities for this work was the identification of areas for public
and/or private sector acquisitions and/or management to facilitate the achievement of
waterfront area planning objectives, including additional waterfront park lands and areas
requiring shoreline protection. To date, the Municipal Land Acquisition Strategy has
only included a limited section of the Port Darlington (west shore) reach for the
development of West Beach portion of the Port Darlington District Park.
2.13 Upon completion of the update to the Sandwell Report, an update to the waterfront plan
for Clarington will be needed. Recognizing that the Sandwell Report update could
include additional considerations for land acquisition for CLOCA, GRCA, the Region of
Durham, and the Municipality; Staff recommend that the initiation of discussion with
potentially affected landowners in the Port Darlington (west shore) reach not occur prior
to the completion of this study. In addition, updating of Clarington's waterfront plan,
taking into consideration all of these studies, will inform future Municipal Land
Acquisition Strategy updates.
153
Municipality of Clarington
Resort CAO -006-19
Page 8
2.14 While there has not been a formal request to include Cedar Crest Beach Road
properties in the Municipal Land Acquisition Strategy, Staff can provide an overall
ballpark estimate for acquisition based on recent purchases along the West Beach
portion of Port Darlington District Park. It is estimated the cost in 2019 dollars would be
between $35 - $40 million for acquisitions, structure demolition and decommissioning of
wells and septic systems. The Municipal Land Acquisition Strategy is a 20 year
projection for all Municipal land needs and adding these properties into the priorities
would require a rework of the financial analysis and extension of the timeline.
3. Implementation of Shoreline Natural Hazard Policies
3.1 CLOCA Board Resolution #38, Item 4, requests that:
...the Municipality of Clarington implement the Clarington Official Plan Regulatory
Shoreline Policies as amended by Official Plan Amendment 107, and the CLOCA
Policy and Procedural Document for Regulation and Plan Review, through a Zoning
By-law enacted under the Planning Act.
3.2 The following provides an overview of the current relevant planning policy regime
elements along the Lake Ontario shoreline in the Port Darlington (west shore) reach:
x The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) sets out the policy foundation for regulating the
development and use of land in Ontario. In both the 2005 and 2014 PPS, Section 3.1
deals with the protection of public health and safety, and requires that development be
directed to areas outside of hazardous shoreline and riverine lands which may be
impacted by flooding, erosion, and/or dynamic beach hazards. Of key relevance to the
Port Darlington (west shore) reach, the PPS contains a clear prohibition of development
and site alteration within the dynamic beach hazard.
x The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Growth Plan) provides a
framework for implementation of the PPS in the Greater Golden Horseshoe region. In
implementing the PPS, the 2019 Growth Plan requires that growth management
planning direct development away from hazardous lands.
x The Durham Region Official Plan (DROP) designates the Port Darlington (west shore)
reach as Waterfront Areas. Lands in the Waterfront Areas designation are to be
developed as people -places, with the exception of significant natural areas, which are to
be protected in their natural states. Environment policies contained in Section 2 of the
DROP do not permit development or site alteration within dynamic beach hazard areas.
x On June 19, 2017, the Region of Durham approved Clarington Official Plan Amendment
No. 107. Through OPA 107, land use in the Port Darlington (west shore) reach was
amended, changing the primary designation to Environmental Protection Area with
limited inland areas remaining Waterfront Greenway, as designated in the 1996
Clarington Official Plan. Within areas designated Environmental Protection Area
development is limited to low -intensity recreation and uses related to forest, fish and
wildlife management or erosion control and stormwater management. Further, the
154
Municipality of Clarington Page 9
Report CAO -006-19
properties along the edge of Lake Ontario in Clarington are designated as being within
the Regulatory Shoreline Area. Policies regarding the Regulatory Shoreline Area do not
permit the construction of new buildings or structures "of any type". If an existing
dwelling is destroyed or demolished "by whatever reason", reconstruction must
commence within a 24 month period for the use to continue. Regulatory Shoreline Area
data is provided to the Municipality by the local conservation authorities. The Clarington
Official Plan requires that the limits of the Regulatory Shoreline Area be identified in
zoning.
3.3 The cottages along Clarington's waterfront were initially built in the late 1800's and early
1900's. The cottages were 3-4 month seasonal dwellings, used by families to find
respite from the heat of summer. The cottages were developed on private property,
without overall consideration for long-term climatic affects and without the consideration
of land use planning principles.
3.4 There has been a long-standing recognition of the natural hazards in the Port Darlington
(west shore) reach and proposals to impose land use planning controls to restrict further
development. However, efforts have been challenged along the way by decisions of
Council that provided exceptions. In particular, at the time when Clarington's zoning by-
law (84-63) was being implemented, the Council of the day, in the interest of balancing
the desires of historical land owners and fair and equitable treatment, allowed the lots
that pre -dated zoning regulations to be deemed Residential Shoreline. A summary of
the evolution of land use planning controls in the Port Darlington (west shore) reach is
provided in CLOCA Staff Report 5630-19, Section 5.2.1 (Attachment 2).
3.5 Zoning By-law 84-63 is applicable to the Port Darlington (west shore) reach. The
existing residential properties are within the Residential Shoreline (RS) Zone. The RS
Zone permits seasonal dwellings and single detached dwellings. The RS regulations
permit the conversion of an existing seasonal dwelling to a single detached dwelling,
subject to servicing and public road access. The current zoning, developed more than
30 years ago, is not consistent with the provincial policy direction or the policy direction
of the regional or local Official Plan.
3.6 The Municipality is currently undertaking a comprehensive review of Clarington's zoning
by-laws. The first draft of the proposed zoning by-law, released November 2018,
placed focus on Clarington's rural area. A comprehensive review of Clarington's urban
area is now underway. A second draft of the proposed zoning by-law will be released
next year for public comment. The updating of regulations for development along
Clarington's waterfront areas will implement and ensure conformity with the Clarington
Official Plan, as amended by OPA 107, and with provincial natural hazard policy.
155
Municipality of Clarington
Resort CAO -006-19
Page 10
3.7 As indicated, a comprehensive update of the Lake Ontario Shoreline Management Plan
originally prepared in 1990 is underway and will provide updated recommendations for
shoreline management and planning for Clarington's entire reach of shoreline. It is
intended that proposed zoning for Clarington's entire shoreline area would be
determined upon completion of the Lake Ontario Shoreline Management Plan update
and provision of updated Regulatory Shoreline Area mapping by CLOCA and GRCA.
The Lake Ontario Shoreline Management Plan update is anticipated to be completed in
early 2020, which is prior to the anticipated completion date of the Municipality's
comprehensive zoning by-law review.
3.8 While implementation of policy set out in the Clarington Official Plan is achieved through
zoning by-laws, it is important to understand that an existing building or structure
lawfully existing prior to the passing of an updated zoning by-law and that continues to
be used for such purposes, shall be deemed "legal non -conforming". The expansion of
a legal non -conforming use requires the approval of a Minor Variance application by the
Committee of Adjustment. Applications for Minor Variance must maintain the general
intent and purpose of the Official Plan and zoning by-law.
4. Options to Improve Road Access
4.1 CLOCA Board Resolution #38, Item 5, recommends that:
...the Municipality of Clarington consider the options to improve safe access along
municipal road in the Port Darlington area as a part of capital planning and
budgeting and that the implementing road works be constructed where feasible and
appropriate.
4.2 Although the above recommendation speaks to improving safe access, the supporting
information in the Port Darlington Community Shoreline Management Plan: Report on
Flooding (CLOCA; Nov. 2018) (CLOCA Flood Report) notes that the primary purpose of
raising the road is to reduce riverine flooding of the properties across the road from the
marshes with an added benefit of improved access. Based on recent public input from
area residents, they do not feel riverine flooding is a major concern and would like
efforts focused on lake erosion remediation.
4.3 As noted in CLOCA's Technical Report: Flood Mitigation for Cedar Crest Beach Road
DRAFT (CLOCA Flood Report, Appendix 4), "by raising the road to between 76.00 and
76.15m, it may be possible to provide riverine flood protection for the 5 and 25 year
return period events; respectively. These results are preliminary and subject to further
review". In order to accurately assess this proposal a detailed topographic survey of the
road and all adjacent properties, including driveways, would need to be completed to
determine the impact and extent of reconstruction of the adjacent driveways and
potentially any buildings near the road. Without the benefit of this information, Staff
have estimated the cost of implementing this recommendation for Cedar Crest Beach
Road is between $275,000 and $350,000.

4.4 The CLOCA Flood Report also recommended that "a cost -benefit analysis [be]
completed to ascertain if this approach provides an overall benefit to the community.
This flood mitigation measure has the potential to reduce flood risk for the community,
by reducing the frequency of flooding events, and improving emergency access. The
community flood vulnerability would still be high, however, because of the potential for
significant flooding from regulatory riverine and Lake based events."
4.5 In reviewing this option, Staff have identified that a similar improved protection against
riverine flooding could be achieved by constructing a small berm or dike along the north
side of Cedar Crest Beach Road. As with the other recommendation a detailed review
and assessment of this option would need to be undertaken before moving forward with
this proposal. Without the benefit of this information Staff have estimated the cost of
implementing this recommendation for Cedar Crest Beach Road is between $75,000
and $150,000.
4.6 The costs above include design costs, however the detailed review would require a
detailed topographic survey for Cedar Crest Beach Road (just over 700 m) an estimate
of $7,500 - $10,000. This would include design and review of impacts and preparation
of material quantity take offs for a cost estimate. It does not include any flood modelling
costs to assess road or berm impacts, which it is assumed the Conservation Authority
would undertake.
4.7 If the ultimate long term approach at this location is to pursue the long-term voluntary
land disposition, consideration should be given to achieving this improved riverine flood
protection and road access by the most economical means possible.
4.8 Should Council endorse the request to seek funding from other levels of government to
address the shoreline erosion concerns along Cedar Crest Beach Road (further
discussed in Section 5), it is recommended that the options of raising the road or
constructing a flood mitigation berm be pursued in conjunction with the natural hazard
mitigation request.
5. Pursuit of a Shoreline Control Engineering Solution
5.1 CLOCA Board Resolution #38, item 3, also recommends that:
...pending the results of negotiations with other potential funding partners,
[Municipality of Clarington] pursue Option #2 or #3 of the Baird Report.
5.2 As a component of this project, sub -consultant W.F. Baird & Associates Coastal
Engineers Ltd. was retained to examine the shoreline processes in the study area and
to identify potential engineering solutions at a conceptual level to address shoreline
erosion. A summary of the draft Port Darlington Shore Protection Concepts (Baird &
Associates; Nov. 2018) report (Baird Report) is provided in CLOCA Staff Report
5630-19 (Attachment 2).
157
Municipality of Clarington Page 12
Report CAO -006-19
5.3 Shoreline protection alternatives #2 and #3 referred to in CLOCA Board Resolution #38
are summarized as follows:
Concept 2: Construction of a cobble beach in front of the properties along Cedar Crest
Beach Rd. using imported materials, three jetties that would impede sand bars forming
at the Westside Creek wetland outlets that flank Cedar Crest Beach Road and two
groynes along the beach for improved beach stability. Estimated Capital Cost (including
contingency): $10.4 million
Concept 3: Construction of a sand and cobble beach in front of the properties along
Cedar Crest Beach Rd. using imported materials, offshore rubblemound breakwaters,
and three jetties that would impede sand bars forming at the Westside Creek wetland
outlets that flank Cedar Crest Beach Road. Estimated Capital Cost (including
contingency): $16 million
5.4 All of the alternatives proposed in the Baird Report were developed at the conceptual
level. Cost estimates provided are an opinion of probable cost and account exclusively
for capital. A 30% contingency was included in recognition of the significant potential
for capital cost fluctuation. As stated in the Baird Report, costs not captured by the
probable cost estimates include detailed engineering design, permitting (which would
require an Environmental Assessment), engineering services during construction,
landscaping, monitoring and maintenance. It was further estimated that 0.5% to 1 % of
capital costs per annum should be budgeted to cover periodic maintenance needs.
5.5 A key focus for the shoreline protection concepts was the development of a beach
amenity for public use. The report indicates that Concepts 1, 2 and 3 all provide a
public beach area to varying extents. The estimated size of the beach amenity space
cannot be determined at this preliminary stage of study and would be a component of
detailed design. The property boundaries for a number of the properties along the
reach of shoreline where beach construction is considered currently extend into the
lake. Issues related to land acquisition or ownership for new beach development were
outside the scope of the Baird Report. The bed of Lake Ontario is controlled by the
Crown and their concurrence and approval would be necessary.
5.6 The assumption that a public benefit and amenity will be provided by the creation of a
beach can only be ensured if ownership is addressed. It is likely there would be
additional costs associated with the land negotiations, purchase and/or transfer of land
to legally establish any additional beach amenity space for public use. Who bears the
cost of maintenance in perpetuity, infrastructure requirements necessary for public park
development (e.g. parking lots, access points, road improvements) and on-going public
park/beach maintenance costs are also important considerations.
158

Resort CAO -006-19

5.7 It should be understood that assessment of the potential upstream / downstream effects
of the shoreline protection alternatives was outside of the scope of the Baird Report.
The conceptual solutions presented in the Baird Report focus on the Cedar Crest Beach
shoreline, being the shoreline area of highest concern in the Port Darlington (west
shore) reach. East of Cedar Crest Beach the Municipality has made significant
investment associated with the establishment of the West Beach portion of Port
Darlington District Park. The West Beach is an important component of the
Municipality's waterfront planning. Any potential effect on beach nourishment/erosion
and water quality in the area is of concern. In addition, Westside Marsh and Creek
outlet will require thorough evaluation to ensure proposed changes do not negatively
impact this highly significant natural feature.
5.8 The Baird Report implies that the responsibility for undertaking an Environmental
Assessment (EA) for a shoreline protection concept, if advanced to this stage, would be
the responsibility of the Municipality. The Municipality would not typically be the lead
proponent in this type of undertaking. The shoreline, beach and marsh areas are
typically the jurisdiction of the Conservation Authority and/or the Ministry of Natural
Resources and Forestry, both of whom are also subject to the Environmental
Assessment requirements. The Municipality has no jurisdiction over erosion protection
on private lands.
5.9 Regardless of which agency moves forward with either option, significant work would be
required before any construction could begin. The following is a high level summary of
next steps that would need to be undertaken:
Terms of Reference (ToR) — 1 year duration
x Preparation, Submission and Review of ToR
x ToR Public Information Centres
x Stakeholder Committee Meetings
x Submission of ToR
Environmental Assessment (EA) — 1 year duration
x Individual EA
x EA Public Information Centres
x Stakeholder Committee Meetings
x Submission of EA
EA Decision and Other Approvals — 1+ years duration
x Individual EA Decision
x Other Approvals (Fisheries Act, Navigable Waters Protection Act, Ministry of
Natural Resources and Forestry, etc.)

5.10 Based on similar studies for works along the Toronto shoreline, Staff estimate that
completion of this planning and approval process could take 3 or more years and is
estimated to cost $700,000 to $1,000,000 depending on the amount of study and
supporting information that the various approval agencies require.
5.11 As indicated in CLOCA Staff Report 5630-19, in July 2018 the Municipality and CLOCA
collaborated on the submission of an Expression of Interest application for funding
support from Infrastructure Canada under the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund
(DMAF). While the application was not selected to proceed to the full proposal stage,
Infrastructure Canada advised that the application would be eligible to be considered for
a second intake into the program anticipated in the fall of 2019. Municipal and CLOCA
Staff will continue to monitor the status of the DMAF for re-application during the next
application intake cycle. The final study reports will provide further support for the
scope of the DMAF application.
5.12 Eligible DMAF projects must have a minimum of $20 million in total eligible costs. The
Federal cost sharing limit for DMAF projects is up to 40% for municipalities and non-
profit organizations (which includes Conservation Authorities) in Ontario. In other
words, $12 million (minimum) would need to be contributed to the project from other
sources. Further, it is important to understand that DMAF focuses on public
infrastructure; a public benefit must be demonstrated and must surpass private benefit.
Staff recommend that Municipality and CLOCA continue to seek funding for land
acquisition and shoreline erosion works, since public ownership is necessary to
demonstrate public benefit.
5.13 The above considerations demonstrate the complexity of and significant costs
associated with shoreline erosion protection projects. Collaboration and support,
including funding support, across all levels of government and amongst key
stakeholders is critical. This has been recognized from the outset as captured by
Council Resolution #GG -357-17 and #GG -358-17 to the extent that they request
Federal, Provincial and local government and agencies to work together on shoreline
safety and mitigation matters, including the necessary cost sharing agreement.
5.14 Direct funding requests have also been made by local residents. In a letter dated April
5, 2019 from the Port Darlington Community Association (PDCA) to the Federal Minister
of Environment and Climate Change and the Provincial Minister of Environment,
Conservation and Parks, the PDCA called for funding support to implement Concept 3
of the Baird Report (see Attachment 4). More specifically, the PDCA feels that past
government decision-making respecting permitting of the St. Marys Cement docking
facility has led to the shoreline erosion occurring along Cedar Crest Beach. Staff are
not aware of a response to the PDCA's request being provided to date by either the
Federal or Provincial ministries.

Report CAO -006-19
5.15 Initiatives such as DMAF and the recent announcement of the formation of a Provincial
flood task force, as well as representation from Federal and Provincial Ministries on the
Lake Ontario Management Plan Update Steering Committee, signal a growing
recognition of the need to collaborate to better plan for and reduce the impacts of
natural hazards. Staff endorse the request made by the PDCA for funding support from
the Provincial and Federal Government for implementation of shoreline erosion works.
It is recommended that Municipal and CLOCA Staff request the Province and Federal
government enter into a partnership with the Municipality to provide a fair and equitable
solution for the residents of the Port Darlington (west shore) reach.
6. Public Comments
6.1 At the May 27, 2019 General Government Committee meeting, multiple Port Darlington
(west shore) reach residents, including representation on behalf of the Port Darlington
Community Association, appeared as delegation before Council, expressing concerns
regarding CLOCA Staff Report 5630-19 and CLOCA Board Resolution #38. In addition,
written correspondence has been received by the Mayor, Clerk and CAO subsequent to
the consideration of CLOCA Staff Report 5630-19 at the March 19, 2019 CLOCA Board
meeting.
6.2 Overall, comments expressed a lack of support for the components of CLOCA Board
Resolution #38 respecting the initiation of and development of a long-term incremental
voluntary land disposition program for lands deemed to have unacceptable risk from
natural hazards. It was expressed amongst the delegates that a business case would
not support the buyout of residential properties. Consideration of these matters by Staff
is discussed in Sections 2 and 3 of this report. Staff recommend that matters respecting
land acquisition and natural hazard policy be assessed in detail and an appropriate
implementation approach determined subsequent to completion of the fulsome review
of Clarington's entire Lake Ontario shoreline, involving the update of the Lake Ontario
Shoreline Management Plan (an update to the 1990 Sandwell Swan Wooster Inc.
report) and a comprehensive waterfront planning review.
6.3 Amongst the delegations, there was support for the concept of raising the roadways to
reduce riverine flood risk. Further, delegations and correspondence have requested
that a shoreline erosion protection engineering solution be advanced to implementation
as expeditiously as possible, and have questioned the appropriate lead for the
Environmental Assessment that would be required. Consideration of these matters by
Staff is discussed in Sections 4 and 5 of the report. Staff recommend that the options of
raising the road or constructing a flood mitigation berm be pursued in conjunction with
seeking funding for shoreline erosion works.
6.4 Several residents have indicated that the risk associated with the hazards of lake
flooding, riverine flooding and dynamic beaches are not concerning to Port Darlington
(west shore) residents, citing that prior to 2017 flooding had not occurred in the last 50
years. It was stated that shoreline erosion poses the most immediate risk of harm to
residents and property. Delegates and correspondents have expressed concern that
the Port Darlington (west shore) reach studies have not pinpointed a cause for shoreline
161

Resort CAO -006-19
Page 16
erosion along Cedar Crest Beach, and point to the interruption of littoral transport
caused by the St. Marys Cement shipping pier as causing reduced sediment deposition,
contributing to increased soil erosion by wave action. In responding to PDCA's April 5,
2019 letters to the Federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change and the
Provincial Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (Attachment 4),
indicating these concerns, St. Marys Cement / Votorantim has stated that:
...it is the company's position that the information advanced by the Association,
while representative of residents' concerns and request, is neither a fully complete
nor entirely accurate portrayal of all the history or naturally occurring dynamics of
this shoreline area or of the results of the Study.
A copy of this letter is provided as Attachment 5.
6.5 CLOCA Staff Report 5630-19 recommends that St. Marys Cement be consulted
regarding possible participation with shoreline protection works. Staff understand that
CLOCA Staff met with representatives of St. Marys Cement following the passing of
CLOCA Board Resolution #38 regarding this matter, and await consideration of the
matter by Council.
6.6 An additional concern has been voiced respecting the modelling approach and resulting
data presented in the CLOCA Flood Report. This is a technical matter respecting the
methodologies and data sources used by CLOCA and cannot be addressed by
Municipal Staff. Lake Ontario natural hazard limits will be updated as part of the on-
going update of the Sandwell Report and will inform the comprehensive review of
Clarington's zoning by-laws, and future update to the Clarington waterfront study.
7. Concurrence
This report has been reviewed by the Director of Engineering Services, Director of
Planning Services and the Municipal Solicitor who concur with the recommendations.
8. Conclusion
The first step in the "plan" that Council referenced in Resolution #C-203-17 was to update
and complete the Port Darlington Shoreline and Flood Damage Centre Study Draft
Report (Aqua Solutions; Mar. 2004). Staff have considered the resulting study reports,
the specific recommendations and requests made by the CLOCA Board of the
Municipality of Clarington, and public comments. A comprehensive approach to shoreline
hazard risk management is recommended. Updating of the Sandwell Report, followed by
an update to the waterfront plan for Clarington and the Municipal Land Acquisition
Strategy are recommended. Implementation of current provincial and municipal policy
will provide a current basis for strategic development of the Lake Ontario waterfront in
Clarington and natural hazard management. The cost of shoreline erosion and flood
mitigation measures in the Port Darlington (west shore) reach is substantial and will
require significant support from Provincial and Federal levels of government and other
stakeholders. In collaboration with the Conservation Authority, it is recommended that
162

Staff continue to pursue funding programs and partnerships to provide a fair and
equitable solution for residents.

MEMO TO: The Chair and Members, CLOCA Board of Directors
FROM: Perry Sisson, Director El Engineering and Field Operations
Chris Jones, Director ❑Planning and Regulation
SUBJECT: Port Darlington Shoreline Hazard Study
1. Purpose and Background
CLOCA, in partnership with the Municipality of Clarington, has undertaken a shoreline hazard study for the Port Darlington
area of Bowmanville. Cedar Crest Beach Road residents had petitioned the municipality in 2016 to take action against Lake
Ontario shoreline erosion that was threatening their properties, and during the late spring and summer of 2017, high lake
water levels resulted in both lake based and riverine flooding within this area. In response to these events, the Council of
the Municipality of Clarington passed a series of resolutions, one of which called upon CLOCA to work towards
development a plan for the Port Darlington Area.
At the meeting of September 19, 2017, the CLOCA Board of Directors resolved as follows:

levels, Sediment Transport, Current Provincial Policy Direction, Updated Mapping and further assessment
of potential options to address risks associated with natural hazards;
THAT CLOCA staff be directed to report back to the Board of Directors with the completed study with
options for implementation in conformity with the recommendations of the study and provincial Great
Lakes shoreline natural hazard management policy;
THAT the Council of the Municipality of Clarington be so advised in response to Resolution C -203 -
CARRIED
This report will summarize the findings of the study, the comments received from the public, and staff recommendations
for implementation.
1.1 Environmental Setting
The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Watershed Flood -Risk Assessment (CLOCA 2017) assessed 92 flood damage
centres within the CLOCA watershed including two flood damage centres within the Port Darlington area. The West Beach
flood damage centre is vulnerable to property damage and public safety risk associated with flood depths exceeding 2 metres
during regional flood conditions. Cedar Crest Beach is not as vulnerable to extreme flood depths, but will still have unsafe
conditions during regional flood conditions. These two flood damage centres are also prone to Lake Ontario flooding, and
are within the erosion hazard of Lake Ontario. The central portion of the study area, Cove Road, is partially within the
erosion hazard of the lake, but is situated on a low bluff, with homes elevated above the flood levels.

2 The Study
Three reports were prepared for the study to assess the natural hazards within the shoreline area.
o Port Darlington Shore Protection Concepts (Baird & Assoc. Coastal Engineers, November 2018) See Appendix 1
o Port Darlington Community Report on Flooding (CLOCA, November 2018) See Appendix 2
o Port Darlington (West Shore) Shoreline Management Report (Aqua Solutions 5 Inc., December 2018) See Appendix 3
The study on coastal erosion was completed in response to the petition of the landowners and to provide a better
understanding of the shoreline processes and conceptual engineering solutions to protect the subject area against shoreline
erosion. The report on flooding assessed the impacts of riverine and Lake Ontario flooding on the area and looked for
mitigation options. The Shoreline Management Report completes work that was originally undertaken in 2004, and
describes approaches to manage the development within the various shoreline and riverine natural hazards.
Two public information sessions were held during the study. The first meeting was held in March, 2018 to introduce the
study and provide information on the natural hazards that exist within the study area. The public were offered an opportunity
to provide information to the study team. The second meeting was held in December 2018, and at that time the consultants
and CLOCA team presented the findings of the various reports in draft form. The reports have been posted on the CLOCA
website, and the public were invited to provide comments. A questionnaire was sent out to all who attended one of the
sessions to encourage greater response to the study.
The study findings, public comments, and staff comments are provided in the following sections. These sections have been
categorized by the three reports that supported the study.
3. Port Darlington Shore Protection Concepts (Baird & Assoc. Coastal Engineers, November 2018)
Coastal engineers from Baird were retained to investigate the general conceptual sediment movement and erosion processes
within the study, and to develop alternative treatments that could arrest the erosion of the shoreline for the Cedar Crest
Beach area.
The report summarized the longshore sediment transport by looking at nearshore bathymetry and field observation of the
shoreline. The report notes the bluff adjacent to Watson Crescent and shallow lake bed with net sediment movement from
the bluff in both easterly (toward Cedar Crest Beach) and westerly directions, with accretion of sediment along the east edge
of the St Marys pier. The net alongshore sediment transport in the study area is generally towards the east.
FILE: IMS: PSSG4177 March 19, 2019
S.R.: 5630-19
The Baird report notes that the St Marys pier protrudes about 650m into the lake and potentially interrupts sediment supply
from west of the pier and from the natural shoreline that is now covered by the pier. Although this study was not intended
to study the impact of the St Marys pier in detail, it provides an estimate of the magnitude of the potential impact on sediment
movement by estimating the accumulation of sediment on the west edge of the pier (2,000 cubic metres of sediment annually
estimated).
With an understanding of the conditions and processes affecting sediment transport and erosion of the shoreline, Baird
developed four conceptual alternative approaches to shore erosion. The cost of each alternative was estimated (excluding
environmental assessment, approvals, engineering design, monitoring and maintenance not included). The four alternatives
are:
1. Construct a sand and cobble beach along Cedar Crest Beach with Jetties to protect against sediment accumulation at the
Westside Marsh outlet and St Marys Overflow channel outlet. Estimated cost $4.3M or $6,600 per metre of shoreline.
2. Construct a cobble beach along Cedar Crest Beach with multiple jetties and groynes. This alternative is similar to
alternative 1, but provides a more stable beach with more imported cobble and more groynes to anchor the beach.
Estimated cost $10AM or $14,900 per metre of shoreline.
3. Construct a sand beach with offshore breakwaters and jetties. This is the most extensive alternative off shore
rubblemound breakwaters to reduce wave energy and protect the beach. Estimated cost $16M or $21,300 per metre of
shoreline.
4. Construct an armourstone revetment along the Cedar Crest Beach shoreline. This alternative would replace the existing
shoreline protection woks along Cedar Crest Beach with a superior hard shoreline treatment. This concept would not
support a beach. Estimated cost $3.7M or $5,700 per metre of shoreline.
The alternatives were evaluated based on the ability of each alternative to address the shoreline hazards, cost, societal
benefit, and environmental benefit/impact. Concept 3 scored as the preferred alternative because it best protected the
shoreline and provided a beach amenity that could benefit the general public. Alternatives 1 and 2 scored slightly lower,
and concept 4 was the lowest ranked alternative. Alternatives 2 and 3 has the added benefit of reducing wave impact to the
Cedar Crest Beach shoreline, although the report notes that none of the concepts fully address the flood hazard from Lake
Ontario.
3.1 Public Comments
The majority of commenters supported the Baird report on
shoreline erosion and identified alternative 3 as their preferred
concept. Some noted the importance of the works to reduce wave
run-up, given that this feature caused flooding of some homes
during the 2017 high water period. Suggestions for advancing the
project included requesting assistance from St Marys Cement and
government funding.
Information was provided based on local knowledge and
understanding of shoreline wave and sediment movement, and
several suggested exploring other alternative shoreline structures
to protect against erosion of the shoreline.
Shoreline Erosion Concepts
■ Agree ■ Disagree
Concerns raised in the comments included the high cost, possible use of tax payer funding, and maintenance costs. A
number of commenters did not support the use of created beach space for the general public. Concerns were also raised that
protection of the Cedar Crest Beach reach of shoreline could aggravate erosion of the adjacent Cove Road shoreline.
FILE: IMS: PSSG4177
S.R.: 5630-19
3.2 Discussion
March 19, 2019
The Baird report provides information on erosion and accretion within the Port Darlington area including information on
potential impacts from the St 0 =dock facility. However, the report indicates that quantitative estimates of shoreline
recession rates requires more detailed investigation. Available historic documentation indicates that CLOCA submitted
comments on the 1990s dock expansion including concern that the impacts of the proposed dock were not fully
understood.
If the construction of engineered works for shoreline erosion protection are to be considered, an Environmental Assessment
(EA) process will be required. The EA will advance from the initial conceptual designs in the Baird Report with more
detailed investigation and design work, and variations from the concepts are likely to be considered. The information and
suggestions provided through this study can be carried forward into the EA process. , $ MFOE E1111the
following generalized steps:
❑ Preparation, submission and review of a Terms of Reference to be approved by the Minister of the Environment,
Conservation and Parks;
❑ Commencement, preparation and submission of an Individual Environmental Assessment study; and,
❑ A ministerial decision to approve or refuse an EA;
❑ Implementing approvals related to the Federal Fisheries Act, Navigation Act, Public Lands Act and others.
The costs (estimated in the Baird report) for any of the shoreline alternatives would be considerable. The works would have
an estimated lifespan of 25 to 50 years, and annual maintenance costs of 0.5% to 1% of construction cost.
Government funding programs such as the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund may assist with partial (40%) funding
and are being explored, but significant additional funds would still be required. A critical consideration is that government
funding programs typically support projects that demonstrate public benefit over projects that limit benefits to private
property owners. If the works were linked to a public benefit, such as creation of more public beach amenity, there may be
greater eligibility for public funding. In the absence of full public funding, private funding could be considered via a Local
Improvement Charge as provided for in the Municipal Act, 2001 and (Ontario Regulation 586/06) or via a Stakeholder Cost
Sharing Agreement. Other private contributions to shoreline erosion projects are possible, and St Marys should be consulted
regarding possible participation with shoreline protection works.
In 2018, Municipality of Clarington staff and CLOCA staff collaborated on the submission of an Expression of Interest
application under the National Disaster Mitigation Program to Infrastructure Canada for funding under the program. The
application was denied for the first intake of funding into the program. Infrastructure Canada staff advised that the
application will be eligible to be considered for a second intake into the program anticipated in the fall of 2019. The second
intake application will be revised to reflect the results of the Port Darlington Shoreline Hazards Study and subsequent
CLOCA Board and Clarington Council decisions.
Finally, the shoreline protection concepts would not remove the risk to life and property that exist along Cedar Crest Beach
Road and West Beach Road associated with riverine and Lake Ontario flooding. It is important that shoreline protection
works do not provide a false sense of security against the flooding hazards that will continue to exist for the area.
3.3 Recommendations
Given the threats to people and property from both erosion and flooding hazards, a solution should be selected that addresses
all risks in their totality as the safest and most cost effective approach. Accordingly, an incremental long-term voluntary
disposition program approach for lands where natural hazards pose an unacceptable risk, and cannot feasibly be prevented,
is recommended and discussed below in Section 5.4.

However, if comprehensive erosion protection is to be considered further, a next step would be the Municipality of
Clarington in collaboration and with the support of CLOCA staff and the Working Group, informally polling the landowners
on Cedar Crest Beach Road to determine whether or not they wish to proceed with a formal petition for a Local
Improvement. Municipality of Clarington staff, with the support of CLOCA staff, would be engaged in preparing the
information required as part of a petition made under Ontario Regulation 586/06.
Advancement of shoreline erosion works would require time and is dependent of securing funding. In the absence of the
larger shoreline protection project, landowners should be permitted to continue to erect and maintain shore walls. New
walls should be designed by coastal engineers to maximize the effectiveness of the works and to ensure works do not
aggravate adjacent shoreline.
4 Report on Flooding (CLOCA, November 2018)
The Cedar Crest Beach and West Beach areas were defined as flood damage centres with significant flood risk in the
CLOCA Flood Risk Assessment (CLOCA 2016). These areas along the Lake Ontario shoreline are prone to flooding from
both Lake Ontario and riverine flooding from the Westside Creek and Bowmanville/Soper Creek respectively.
The report on flooding further analysed the flood risk by looking at flood depths and velocities for various storm events,
and comparing these values to limits for vehicle access, property damage, and public safety. The analysis showed that
flooding during less severe flood events could prevent access to the subject area, while less frequent and more severe storms
would cause structural damage to homes and be a risk to public safety.
The greatest flood depths and risk to public safety exists at the West Beach area, where flood depths for the
Bowmanville/Soper Creek could exceed 2 metres during regional storm conditions, causing extensive damage to homes and
risk of loss of life.
The riverine flood depths at Cedar Crest Beach are 0.5 metres during regional flood conditions, but flood depth -velocity
products still provide unsafe conditions for people.
Flood events cause a multitude of problems in these sand spit areas, including contamination of water wells, inundation of
septic systems, and flooding of basements and crawlspaces through surface drainage or through groundwater seepage.
During lake based flooding or more frequent riverine flood conditions, both areas would lose the ability to access or leave
the neighbourhoods by personal vehicle due to flood depths on the roadways. The 2017 flooding events demonstrated the
demands these events create for emergency responders and the social strain on residents.
The Report on Flooding looked for flood mitigation opportunities. It is noted that the wave uprush component of the Lake
Ontario flooding could be reduced at Cedar Crest Beach with the off shore breakwater alternative for shore protection
proposed by Baird, but that the lake level and storm surge components could not be reduced. The Baird study notes Ell Z QW
shoreline protection measures can mitigate erosion at this site, they will not address the flood hazard from inland, and
IUUZM QlW m IIHT2 ❑fitl 1:1Z DKGEH3E
Safe access conditions could be improved by elevating flood prone roadways. The study analysed possible flood risk
reduction that could result from elevating portions of West Beach Road and Cedar Crest Beach Road to improve access and
act as a flood barrier from riverine flooding. The analysis found that vehicle access could be improved during more frequent
flood events by this measure, but safety risks and lack of access would continue to exist during regulatory flood events.

4.1 Public comments:
A slim majority of respondents supported the concept of
raising the roadways to reduce riverine flood risk. Several
noted that this appears to be a practical and effective
improvement that could be advanced quickly.
Respondents that did not support the raising of the road
profiles noted concerns with impacts to driveways, and the
possibility of trapping water during lake flood events.
Some commenters suggested that the St Marys overflow
channel should control riverine flooding of the Westside
Creek, or that a piped outflow or similar system could be
created to divert floodwater away from the area.

Raised Road Flood Protection
■ Agree ■ Disagree
4.2 Discussion
Raising certain road segments will reduce flood risk by improving access to the West Beach and Cedar Crest Beach areas
during flood events that are predicted to occur relatively frequently. The cost of the work, although significant, could be
completed as a municipal road reconstruction project.
Concerns raised are valid, and the benefit of reducing riverine flood risk must be weighed against the risk of trapping lake
based flooding. More detailed survey of existing driveways and property will be needed to fully understand the impacts on
driveway grading. More detailed assessment of the flood impacts and benefits would be required with the detailed design
process. It is important that all concerns, especially concerns about trapping lake flood water, are fully explored and
addressed prior to undertaking the work.
While the focus is on the possible reduction of riverine flood risk through raising the local roads, the reality is that large
flood events will completely inundate the subject area creating significant damage including severe and unacceptable risk
to public health and safety.
The St Marys overflow channel was designed and constructed to offset the impact of the removal of a significant portion of
the Westside Marsh (as approved through aggregate licensing) and the flood storage that the Marsh provided. It was not
intended to prevent or even reduce the pre-existing flooding conditions of the Marsh and Cedar Crest Beach area; the channel
was designed to provide a supplementary outflow to maintain the Marsh water levels through a full range of flood events.
The Hydrotechnical Report that supported the overflow channel design has been re-examined in recent times, and found to
be appropriate. During the 2017 lake flooding, beach build-ups at the Westside Marsh barrier beach outlet and at the
overflow channel outlet had to be removed numerous times to allow the Marsh and overflow channel to drain to the lake.
Jetties, as described in the Baird report could prevent the build-up of beach sediments in the overflow channel outlet. A
Maintenance and Monitoring Plan has been detailed and endorsed by CLOCA and St Marys to document annual monitoring
of the channel and all maintenance activities, and water level gauging has been added to the Westside Marsh and
incorporated into the CLOCA Flood Forecasting and Warning system.
The Municipality of Clarington developed a Flood Emergency Plan for the Lake Ontario shoreline based on their
experiences during 2017 elevated lake levels, and invested in supplies and equipment that will assist with future flood
events.
4.3 Recommendations
While concerns have been raised with the raising of road profiles, the majority of respondents approve of this work as a
practical action that will provide a reduction of flood risk in the near future. It is recommended to advance this project into
the design process. Detailed surveys, hydraulic assessments, road design, and consultation will be required. Pending a
positive outcome of the design process, cost estimates can be completed for the work and the project added to municipal
capital works program.

It is recommended that St Marys be approached to investigate the potential for placement of a jetty to protect against
beach build-up at the St Marys overflow channel outlet.
5 Port Darlington (West Shore) Shoreline Management Report (Aqua Solutions 5 Inc., December 2018)
This study characterized the study area by physical shoreline feature. From west to east, the shoreline can be characterised
by:
❑ A bluff and fillet beach parallel to the Watson Crescent area. Much of this area is owned by the Municipality of
Clarington and St Marys Cement, with one home on Watson Crescent well removed from the shoreline, and outside of
flood and erosion hazards.
❑ A dynamic barrier beach between Lake Ontario and the Westside Marsh extending from Watson Crescent to the east
approach to the Cedar Crest Beach bridge. This sand spit was developed with cottages between the 193 �m
and has progressed into approximately 39 all season dwellings. Much of the shoreline has shoreline protection walls
and revetments of armour stone and similar materials to protect the rear yard areas from lake erosion. These walls
provide protection, but require frequent maintenance and disrupt the natural dynamic beach process.
❑ A bluff and dynamic beach exists along the Cove Road area. Homes within this portion of the study area are generally
located beyond the riverine and lake flooding hazards, but some homes along the shoreline are within the erosion hazard
limit of Lake Ontario.
❑ A dynamic barrier beach between Lake Ontario and the Bowmanville Marsh along the shoreline portion of West Beach
Road and extending to the Bowmanville Harbour entrance. This sand spit includes approximately 14 homes, and a
municipally owned public beach area. Many of the homes are setback from the shoreline and are not presently utilizing
shoreline protection measures, and a natural dynamic beach exists.
The report provided history of the development of the area and planning processes and regulations that have managed the
development. It also builds on the recommendations of the Baird report on shoreline erosion, and the CLOCA report on
flooding to provide a number of directions and recommendations related to planning and regulation policy and
incremental long-term voluntary disposition that will be discussed later in this report.
5.1 Public Comments
A small minority of respondents supported strengthened development regulation on lands subject to natural hazards in the
Port Darlington area. Opinions were expressed that development in the area was not the issue but rather the shoreline
erosion issues should be focused upon exclusively. With respect to the consideration of strengthened development
regulation, concerns were expressed that new requirements might not allow for normal improvements of the properties to
mitigate risks from flooding or erosion or that a rebuild due to a fire or other emergency may not be permitted. Many
owners expressed concern regarding the need to maintain the value of their property. Finally, objections were raised
regarding any approaches that might seek to restrain development as a precursor to expropriation or public acquisition.
5.2 Discussion
Under long-established provincial law and land use planning policy, both CLOCA and the Municipality of Clarington have
an obligation to recognize and plan for the natural hazards and attendant risks to people and property where they exist in
the Port Darlington area. This involves ensuring that an effective regulation of development is established that is calibrated
to the severity of risks present and which respects private property rights to the extent possible.

5.2.1 Municipal Land Use Controls and Regulation
The following is a summary of the evolution of land use planning controls in the Port Darlington Area:
❑ In 1959, the former Township of Darlington enacted a Comprehensive Zoning by-law, which established development
11RUVffll1WW BX7 EHSRLWAU I)MI3 RL I] DCS )AELEH)Z LW DWff%Z ❑VLS 1Z I34IIR1A -
Agricultural ®3 1-11' cluded a single detached dwelling. This by-law established the single
detached dwelling land use on all lots that were located in the former Township of Darlington. At the time of the
enactment of this by-law, most structures on Cedar Crest Beach were seasonal cottages.
❑ In 1976, the first Regional Official Plan was adopted by Regional Council. This plan designated the Lake Ontario
VR1IUJ11LI3 RFW11 LQJIHazard Lands. ❑ As at the time there was no local Official Plan in place for the Port
Darlington area, the Regional Official Plan was the guiding land use policy document. However, an implementing
zoning by-law had to be enacted by the local municipality to give effect to the Regional Official Plan Hazard Lands
designation.
❑ In June 1984, the former Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law was drafted, which would implement the
1976 Regional Official Plan. The consultation draft of the by -(W ®DKKHRUEE1( 3 ®( EEMtCP H3M1R
classification for the portions of Cedar Crest Beach Road and West Beach Road that are subject to flooding and erosion
hazards. While consistent with the Regional Official Plan, this zoning change would have removed the single detached
dwelling permitted land use from the lands on Cedar Crest Beach Road and West Beach Road. Existing residential
(ZHWJ VIM:F)W fYM09=34LEL==Z RDF=HTR3Va=JH DM RaFREIXP Idf imu
development of residential dwellings in hazard lands would have ended under the June 1984 draft by-law.
❑ At a July 3, 1984 public hearing to consider the draft comprehensive zoning by-law, various comments were received
by Cedar Crest Beach landowners objecting to the proposed Environmental Protection zone.
❑ On July 16, 1984, municipal planning staff responded to resident requests by removing the Environmental Protection
zone, replacing it with a Residential Shoreline zone that continued the 1959 residential permissions, which was finally
enacted by the Council of the former Town of Newcastle on September 10, 1984. This zoning is currently in effect.
❑ In 1996, the Municipality of Clarington included strong land use natural hazard policy directions in the municipal
Official Plan following a period of public consultation in which many shoreline land owners objected. A new
E5 Hf DDKII6 ER II>ILISolicy was established along the Lake Ontario shoreline, including the Port Darlington area.

(Official Plan Amendment No. 107 []adopted by Clarington Council on November 1, 2016). The current Municipality
of Clarington Official Plan contains an Environmental Protection land use designation for the portions of Port
Darlington area subject to shoreline and riverine natural hazards and continues a strengthened set of Regulatory
Shoreline Area policies.
It is clear from the history of land use planning controls in the Port Darlington area that once permanent residential uses
where enshrined in zoning in 1959, implementing natural hazard considerations in zoning has not been achieved despite
past efforts. One final consideration is that the Planning Act was amended in 2006 to require municipalities to implement
their Official Plans through municipal zoning by-laws following a comprehensive official plan update within three years (s.
26 (9) of the Planning Act). It is important that the Municipality of Clarington meet its statutory obligation as part of the
current zoning by-law review with respect to shoreline natural hazards.

5.2.2 CLOCA Planning and Regulation Policy
CLOCA obtained comprehensive board -endorsed policies for the review of development applications and permit
applications in April of 2013 when the Board approved the Policy and Procedural Document for Regulation and Plan
Review (PPD). The PPD consolidated previous CLOCA planning and permit review practices that had evolved over time
1 a2FE-P H�NMRiIM-IS QSRVM J FXI C&/ 2 &$ 3M= IFRP P lanning applications and
environmental assessments. The PPD was also designed to provide policy directions for decision making for permit
applications under the newly expanded regulatory authority provided by Ontario Regulation 42/06.
Chapter 4 of the PPD provides policy direction for Great Lakes shoreline hazards. Policy direction was incorporated into
the PPD specifically for the Shoreline Flood Hazard, the Shoreline Erosion Hazard, the Dynamic Beach Hazard and Lake
Ontario Shoreline Protection Works (such as seawalls and revetments) using policy guidelines for conservation authorities
established by the provincial government and Conservation Ontario.
The policy direction established in the current PPD seeks to identify and manage risks in a pragmatic fashion, particularly
where existing development is present. For example, minor additions to existing buildings/structures may be permitted in

building/structure within the shoreline dynamic beach hazard, subject to conditions that among other maters ensures that
the reconstruction will result in a lower risk of hazards.
5.2.2.1 Proposed Policy Amendments
Staff have prepared an amendment to the PPD to consolidate and implement the planning and regulatory recommendations
of the Port Darlington (West Shore) Shoreline Management Report (Aqua Solutions 5 Inc., December 2018). The proposed
amendment creates a new section specific to the Port Darlington Area and is presented in Appendix 4.
The proposed amendment takes into consideration comments made by residents to continue to allow for reconstruction of
dwellings due to unforeseen events not related to flooding and erosion; the continued maintenance and upkeep of property,
including interior renovations, repairs and replacements to sewage systems; continued private shoreline protection works
and the construction of accessory structures such as decks and gazebos. Provision is made for moving existing structures
in order to mitigate exposure to flooding and erosion hazards. Essentially all existing development would be carried forward
with flexibility for continued upkeep and improvements as long as the footprint of dwellings is not increased given the
presence of natural hazards.
Finally, the proposed amendment consolidates and clarifies all of the shoreline natural hazard policy relevant to the Port
Darlington area into one section of the PPD document to provide clearer direction to development proponents, CLOCA
staff and the CLOCA Board of Directors when making future decisions on permit applications made under Ontario
Regulation 42/06.
5.3 Recommendation
It is recommended that the Municipality of Clarington be requested to update its zoning by-law for the Port Darlington
Area to implement the Official Plan and the related CLOCA Board -endorsed planning and regulation policy.
It is recommended that the proposed amendments to the CLOCA Policy and Procedural Document for Regulation and
Plan Review contained in Appendix 4 be adopted in order to implement the planning and regulatory elements of the Port
Darlington (West Shore) Shoreline Management Report.

5.4 Voluntary Disposition
March 19, 2019
5.4.1 Summary
The background studies propose several measures to management the risk of natural hazards on the subject shoreline area.
Nevertheless, homes will continue to be within dynamic beach environments experiencing coastal erosion, will be prone to
flood damage from lake water levels and storms, and could be devastated by riverine floods. As long as people are living
in these damage centres, the risk of loss of life to a resident or first responder due to another natural disaster will continue.
The only solution that will remove the risk to human life in the portion of the area that does not have safe access in the event
of an emergency is to ensure that people are not living on hazardous lands. Incremental voluntary disposition is an approach
to gradually shift the land from private ownership to public ownership by paying fair market value at the time the land
owner chooses to sell. Voluntary disposition was recommended as the long term solution to resolve the high risk associated
with flooding and erosion hazards for land where there is no safe access in the event of an emergency.
5.4.2 Comments Received
The majority of the respondents do not support a voluntary
disposition program, primarily due to fear that actual value
of the property will not be realized in the process. Others
noted the loss of homes will diminish the vibrancy of the
area.
Among the supporters of a disposition plan, some noted that
all options should be considered, but possibly as a last
resort.
Voluntary Disposition

fully realised is understandable but cannot be verified. More
time and effort should be taken to develop a program and allow for involvement of the area residents, to gain more
understanding and trust, and to ensure the program is fair and reasonable.
Despite past efforts to manage these developments and associated risk, homes continue to be put on the real estate market,
and new homeowners move into the area, perpetuating the issue of people living and investing in this area with significant
and unacceptable risk of flooding and erosion. This program may be a long term effort, but it provides a means for home
owners to liquidate their property investment without passing the hazard risk to a new home owner.
Incentives should be considered for the voluntary disposition plan including lease -back and life estate options that would
allow the current owner to stay on for some period of time, but would ensure that further conveyance of the lands is ended.
It is anticipated that this would be a long process with a small number of annual acquisitions into public ownership. This
program would, however, be effective in terms removing risk to human life and cost associated with property damage. This
program also allows a property owner to get the current value from the property. After a major flood event, the value may
be substantially less.
5.4.4 Recommendation
A voluntary Port Darlington disposition program should be developed for the lands that are determined to have an
unacceptable level of risk from flooding and erosion, and where it is not feasible to adequately mitigate the risks in the
future. The program should define eligibility criteria based upon level of hazard risk, should ensure fair market value for
acquisitions, be based on a willing seller willing buyer principle and should include incentives for willing sellers. Funding
for the program should be researched but should be provided at least in part by senior levels of government. Federal funding
may become available through special programs, and additional municipal funding would need to be in reserve.

6. Summary
Three reports have been completed to document the natural hazards within the Port Darlington area, and explore measures
that may be effective to reduce the risk. Mitigative measures include efforts to manage flooding and shoreline erosion, as
well as managing development within the flooding and erosion hazards. The study included a public process with well
attended meetings and submission of public comments that demonstrated good involvement of the area residents.
Two areas within the study limits; West Beach, and Cedar Crest Beach, are sand spits sandwiched between Lake Ontario
and coastal wetlands. These locations are prone to flooding from both riverine systems and Lake Ontario as well as Lake
Ontario shoreline erosion. Although measures can be employed to reduce the level of risk, these locations will continue to
be unsafe, with flooding conditions that will prevent access and be hazardous for residents and emergency responders.
A voluntary disposition program should be developed for the lands within the Port Darlington area that are identified as
having unacceptable risk from natural hazards, and where it is not feasible to adequately mitigate the risks in the future. The
program should define eligibility criteria based upon level of hazard risk, should ensure fair market value for acquisitions,
be based on a willing seller willing buyer principle and should include incentives for willing sellers. Funding for the program
should be researched but should be provided at least in part by senior levels of government. Federal funding may become
available through special programs, and additional municipal funding would need to be in reserve.
Shoreline erosion protection alternatives have been presented in the Baird study, with the preferred alternative consisting of
beach creation, jetties and off -shore breakwaters. An Environmental Assessment will be required to move this project
forward. The significant cost of the works and lack of public benefit beyond the local area may make funding of the project
difficult. In the absence of public funding, private funding could be considered via a Local Improvement Charge as provided
for in the Municipal Act, 2001 and (Ontario Regulation 586/06) or via a Stakeholder Cost Sharing Agreement. Other private
contributions to shoreline erosion projects are possible, and St Marys should be consulted regarding possible participation
with shoreline protection works.
Flood risk can be reduced somewhat by elevating Cedar Crest Beach Road and West Beach Road, thereby providing safe
access during smaller flood events. This measure will not ensure safe access during major storm events, but will reduce the
frequency of flooding and provide an effort to improve safety on an interim basis while the voluntary disposition program
unfolds. This work can be incorporated into municipal road reconstruction projects.
St Marys Cement/Votorantim Cimentos should be consulted as a potential participant with support to protect people and
property in the Port Darlington Area through potential supply of sediment and participation in financially supporting
implementing recommended programs and projects.

Dear Ms. McKenna and Mr. Phillips:
The Honourable Rod Phillips

Ferguson Block, 11" Floor

Toronto, On M7A2T5
I am writing to you today as the President of the Port Darlington Community Association (PDCA) to request your support
in addressing environmental damage resulting from federally and provincially permitted industrial development.
PortRariington, located on the shores of Lake Ontario in the Town of Clarington about an hour east of Toronto,, has
been an area of settlement pre -dating Confederation. Some of the earliest dwellings constructed in the 1800s are still
standing today. Overtime, the area has transitioned from a cottage area to year-round dwellings with new home
permits being granted by the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) and the Town of Clarington as
recently as 2017.
In 1972, St Marys Cement Corporation expanded their Bowmanvalle operation and, with appropriate measures in place
at the time, were permitted to construct a deep water pier at the quarry to service the plant expansion. At that time, St
Marys' own consultants [1] recognized the potential for downdrift erosion impacts on the Port Darlington area.
Construction was nevertheless allowed to proceed, and the approved deep water pier was fully implemented by the
mid -1990S.
Subsequent to the original study in 1972, a number of other reports have been commissioned that support the
predictions made at the time of initial approvals. [2][8][4][5]
Since the initial expansion, local residents have anxiously watched as the predicted erosion became reality and the
expansive beach, which had historically protected the residents from Lake Ontario wave uprush, eroded, shifted, and
disappeared. Homes that once had as much as 50 feet of sloping sand and cobble beach for wave protection now have
little to none, and homeowners have had to Implement secondary protection at significant personal expense. The
secondary protection implemented in the mid-1990s is now failing and being overtopped by wave uprush from Lake
Ontario.
Residents now find themselves in the desperate position of having to .deal with the present-day impact of past decisions
permitted by municipal, provincial and federal authorities. These decisions were made despite the warning of St Marys'
own consultants at the time that there would be downdraft consequences resulting in total and complete erosion of the
existing beach. There are solutions to this crisis, but the solutions are beyond the capability of residents to implement,
both from a financial and regulatory perspective.
A report by Baird Coastal Engineers [5], completed for CLOCA in 2018, lays out 4 concepts for shoreline erosion
protection and confirms that options are both viable and available to protect property while rebuilding and stabilizing
the original beach. From the Baird Report: "The offshore breakwaters reduce energy at the shoreline and retain the
beach," and "this concept includes the highest level of protection and reduced overtopping for the properties located
along Cedar Crest Beach Road", Most importantly, Option 3, as presented in the Baird report, returns wave uprush
protection to a level that existed before the St Marys expansion was approved.
1.81.
The PDCA is communicating with municipal, provincial and federal authorities to advocate for restoration of protection
from wave energy for our community - the same protection that once existed but that has been fully eroded in less than
50 years by industrial development. We are requesting funding support for Option.3 as presented in the Baird report, as
well as support in obtaining all required permits and approvals for the works to proceed. Your support of this request is
essential in making whole the historical decisions that were known at the time to be harmful to our community.
We look forward to your response and appreciate your ongoing support.

Notes
[1j The design report commissioned by St Marys Cement regarding the Dock and Landfill Project submitted by A. Brebner and J.W.
Kamphuis on December 8, 1972, before construction of the pier stated: "The long landfill project would pose a complete interruption
to this littoral drift resulting in accretion on the west side and erosion on the east side of the pier. The rates of accretion and erosion
will be small, but the balance is very delicate to begin with. This balance will be completely upset and the company may be liable to
supply the downdrift areas (Cedar Crest Reach Road) with sand that the structure has trapped"
(2) The Lake Ontario Shoreline Management Report bySandwell 1990 commissioned by the Province stated the Cedar Crest Beach
area as a "Damage Center C4 is a good candidate for beach nourishment. The beach is starved by St Marys Cement Pier."
[31 St Mary Cement Corporation Dock. An assessment of its Rale in Shoreline Erosion and Sedimentation in. Port Darlington
Waterfront 1990. By: Brian Greenwood Ph.D Consultant Geomorphologist. His summary states, "it is highly probable that the
present St Mary Cement Corporation dock contributes to shoreline erosion and recession in the Port Darlington Waterfront to the
east. The mechanism is through a sediment deficit in the total, natural, time averaged sediment budget."
Col The Cedar Crest Beach shoreline is contained in a littoral sub -cell defined by St Marys pier in the west and Peter stock Shoal in the
past. St Mary Cement Pier is listed as a primary littoral sub -cell barrier, which means that.it appears to intercept upwards of 60% of
alongshore sediment transport in the surf zone. Report Number EGO -015-017 June 19, 2017 report to Clarington General
Government Committee.
[S] Baird Report commissioned by Aqua Solutions 2018 states: "The piers at St Marys are approximately 650 meters long (measured
from the nearby shoreline) and extend to -8rn Cil. It is expected they act as a complete barrier to longshore movement of granular
sediment and therefore, there is no exchange of granular sediment between west and east shorelines on either side of the
piers—,this means that St. Marys' piers would block any potential supply of sediment available from the westerly
shorelines."Furthermore, the Baird report confirms that "approximately 2,000 m3 of sand had been deposited annually in the local
fillet beach immediately west of the piers."

RE: Receipt of correspondence from the Port Darlington Community Association
Dear Mayor Foster;
St Marys Cement wishes to acknowledge receipt of a letter sent to you by the PDCA on April 5t", 2019.
The company recognizes that the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) has been
involved in an on-going process considering options and opportunities, related to the Port Darlington
Shoreline. St Marys Cement continues to participate in that process as well, exercising discretion so as
to not to assume or pre judge related recommendations or outcomes.
CLOCA has invested significant effort into ensuring a better understanding of the many facets of this
complex resource management issue. It is the company's position that the circumstances are
significantly more complex than described by the Association in these letters.
According to the Port Darlington Shoreline Hazard Study, the Cedar Crest Beach and West Beach areas
are defined as flood damage centres with significant flood risk, and are prone to flooding (p.25). the
Study recognizes that, in these areas, homes are precariously located on sand spits (p.31) by an
unstable natural dynamic beach site, with a river and marsh system behind and the lake in front. As the
Study notes, as long as people are living in these damage centres, the risk of loss of life to a resident or
first responder due to another natural disaster will continue (p.30).
We also note that other recommendations include a voluntary disposition program, to address the safety
concerns, as well as tax payer funding for shoreline works.

St Marys Cement respects the right of the association to lobby for assistance, which in these letters is
characterized as "help and resources of government and (our) industrial neighbours". It is the company's
position that the information advanced by the Association, while representative of residents' concerns
and request, is neither a fully complete nor entirely accurate portrayal of all the history or naturally
occurring dynamics of this shoreline area or of the results of the Study.
It is our understanding that recommendations will be made to and reviewed by the Town of Clarington
Council at a yet -to -be -determined date.
We will, as our website states, continue to work closely with local government, and; we will participate in
the on-going CLOCA review, as well as the municipal component. We will also continue to communicate
in accordance with our open-door policy toward discussing appropriate, viable and sustainable future
responses and actions, when the path forward is made clearer. Should you be seeking more
information, please contact Ruben Plaza, Environmental Manager for St Marys Cement or me, at your
convenience.

Report To: General Government Committee
Date of Meeting: June 17, 2019
Report Number: CAO -007-19 Resolution:
File Number: By-law Number:
Report Subject: Tax Rebate for Parkview Lodge
Recommendations:
That Report CAO -007-19 be received;
2. That the Region of Durham be advised that the Municipality of Clarington supports the
proposed affordable housing project (Parkview Lodge expansion) recommended for
award by the Region of Durham pursuant to the evaluation of the Request for Proposals
1060-2018, under the Federal -Provincial Social Infrastructure Fund — Investment in
Affordable Housing Program (SIF-IAH Program);
3. That the Region of Durham be advised that the Municipality of Clarington will take the
necessary steps to set the municipal tax rate for the affordable housing project at the
single residential rate for twenty years from the date of building occupancy for any unit
that receives funding under the SIF-IAH Program; and
4. That all interested parties listed in Report CAO -007-19 and any delegations be advised
of Council's decision.

Report Overview
Page 2
Parkview Lodge, a local non-profit housing provider, is in the process of building a 37 -unit
seniors' affordable housing development in Newcastle. The development will include 18
affordable units and 19 units at market rate. It has received funding support from the Federal
and Provincial governments as well as other consideration from the Region of Durham. In
order to meet the funding conditions for affordable housing financing through CMHC, the
host municipality must apply the residential property tax rate, not multi -residential, to the
affordable units.
1. Background
1.1 Parkview Lodge has owned and operated a 43 -unit seniors' building in Newcastle for
over 37 years. With the increasing pressure for affordable housing in our community,
Parkview is in the process of building a new 37 -unit seniors' housing development. It will
include 18 affordable units and be built adjacent to their existing site.
1.2 They have received confirmation of federal -provincial funding through the Region of
Durham, as well as a co -investment loan and other financial incentives from CMHC. In
addition to this, the Region of Durham has offered to provide a deferral of development
charges.
1.3 In order to qualify for the affordable housing funding under the SIF-IAH Program,
Parkview requires that the Municipality set the property tax rate at that of residential, not
multi -residential. The Municipality extended such support to the affordable housing
development on Bowmanville Avenue, which was approved by Council in 2016.
1.4 In a letter to Mayor Foster dated May 13, 2019, the Parkview Board of Directors
provided an overview of incentives other municipalities have provided affordable
housing developments being built in their communities. Staff are currently undertaking a
review of potential affordable housing incentives that could be employed to support this
project and others like it going forward as part of an Affordable Housing Toolkit (more
information will be available after the regulations under proposed Bill 108 are clarified).
2. Tax Revenue Impact
2.1 The program requires the Municipality to provide financial support through a rebate of
property taxes. For the first 20 years after building occupancy, the 18 new affordable
units would be taxed as part of the New Multi -Residential tax class with a rebate
equivalent to the difference between the Residential Rate and the New Multi -Residential
Rate. After 20 years, the property would be taxed at the New Multi -Residential tax rate
until year 35, at which point it moves to the "Multi -Residential Tax Class".

Resort CAO -007-19
Page 3
2.2 Assuming an assessed value of $10,000,000 (this is based on the May 13, 2019 letter
from Parkview), the annual foregone revenue to the Municipality would be $1,972/year
in 2019 dollars. This is based on the fact that the New Multi -Residential tax class is at a
1.10:1 ratio with the Residential Tax Class. This does not take into account taxes for
the Region of Durham or the Province of Ontario (education taxes).
2.3 When compared to regular multi -residential units, the savings on the municipal portion
for the entire project would be approximately $35,000/year in 2019 dollars, assuming an
assessment of $10 million. This is due to the fact that new multi -residential properties
already have favourable tax status for the first 35 years in an effort to promote new
purpose built rental buildings.
2.4 The impact for future years will be dependent on market value assessments, tax rate
adjustments, budget adjustments and other variables which are not readily
determinable. Therefore the total support to this project from the Municipality cannot be
precisely quantified.
2.5 Each year the Region of Durham will certify that the project meets the requirements for
the tax rebate. Parkview will pay the applicable taxes at the New Multi -Residential rate
and, provided it remains a qualifying property, the Municipality would then issue a
rebate. This protects the Municipality in case the property no longer qualifies as
affordable housing.
3. Concurrence
This report has been reviewed by the Director of Finance/Treasurer who concurs with the
recommendations.
4. Conclusion
It is respectfully recommended that Council support the rebate described in this Report
provided that the expansion remains an eligible affordable housing project.

Report to Clarington Council
Clarington Board of Trade
2019 Q1 KPI report
Report Overview:
The purpose of this report is to provide a 2019 Q1 Key Performance Indicators update
to Clarington Council. All data collected is for the period of January 1, 2019 and March
31, 2019. As identified in our Plan 2021 submitted to Council in 2016, we will be
updating progress on 11 key performance indicators and 3 specific activities for 2019.
Over the last few years, Clarington has seen a significant increase in the quantity and
quality of investment inquires and successful landing of these projects. Although we
have not seen a slowdown in these activities yet, we do foresee the pace will slow in
the next year or two. With close to one dozen sizeable projects in the works with full
operation expected to come online in the next 5 years our team will remain nimble in
our programming and service to meet our clients needs.
Investment in Clarington will certainly have many benefits including increased
employment opportunities, tax revenue and increased awareness of the strong
business environment in Clarington. With this growth comes a strong need for skilled
labourforce and additional land and building inventory.
It is important to recognize that our corporate call activity has increased by 64% from
2018 which reflects our increased efforts in business retention. These can include
supporting business with shifting their business model to ensure relevancy in today's
markets. In Q1 the number of leads has remained steady with a focus on general
manufacturing. We also note that the data reported for outreach reflects a 48%
decrease. This relates to our 2018 engagement in a trial project with a lead generating
company to attend industry tradeshows in the USA. Therefore, our outreach numbers
were elevated. As we did not see return on investment we discontinued this program
and have been focused on conducting our own outreach while continuing client care.

Dear Andy;
The Clarington Museum and Archives Board would like to thank you for your correspondence and
information provided regarding the potential merger of the Clarington Museum and Archives with the
Clarington Public Library.
At the special board meeting of June 6th, members discussed the contents of the memo with
attachments and provided their thoughts and questions for discussion. The Board members present
were also made aware that the Clarington Public Library Board had made a resolution that they were
interested in proceeding to the next step in the possible merger. The Board members decided that a
formal response would be motioned and approved at the regular June 12th Board meeting with some
clarity on what the next steps would be.
At the June 12th Board Meeting, the members approved the following motion:
THAT the Clarington Museums and Archives Board advise the Municipality of Clarington that
it is interested in continuing to meet with the Library Board and Municipal staff to discuss the
possible merger of the Library and the Museum and that the Museum Board will support the
Municipality in its decision.
The Board members discussed their desire to see the Museums thrive and succeed and develop
strong partnerships with other cultural organizations within Clarington. The Museum Board also
approved the 2019-2020 Strategic Plan that highlights the importance of being in sync with the
Municipal strategic goals and also working closely with our cultural partners in the area.
The Clarington Museums and Archives Board looks forward to working together with the Municipality
of Clarington to support the future of culture in Clarington.
Sincerely,

Report To: General Government Committee
Date of Meeting: June 17, 2019
Report Number: EGD -015-19 Resolution:
File Number: G.10.21 By-law Number:
Report Subject: Rail Safety Improvement Program Agreement
Recommendations:
1. That Report EGD -015-19 be received;
2. That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute the funding agreement between the
Government of Canada and the Municipality of Clarington;
3. That the By-law attached to Report EGD -015-19, as Attachment 2, be approved; and
4. That all interested parties listed in Report EGD -015-19 and any delegations be advised
of Council's decision.

Report EGD -015-19
Report Overview
Page 2
In August, 2018 the Municipality of Clarington submitted three applications to Transport
Canada for funding under their Rail Safety Improvement Program (RSIP). Clarington has
received approval for funding up to $929,704.30 for all three projects. This report is written
with the intent to create a by-law authorizing staff to execute the agreement with the
Government of Canada.
1. Background
1.1 The Rail Safety Improvement Program (RSIP) provides grant and contribution funding to
improve rail safety and reduce the risk of injuries and fatalities related to rail
transportation. Staff monitor all level crossings in the Municipality of Clarington and each
crossing is evaluated annually to determine the location(s) that meet the criteria for the
RSIP funding. Based on this criteria, staff identified three level crossings in 2018 that
would benefit most from the RSIP. These locations are shown on the map in
Attachment 1:
x Rundle Rd at CPR
x Scugog St at CPR; and
x Concession St East at CPR.
In August 2018, the Municipality of Clarington submitted an application for funding under
the RSIP for these three crossings, all of which were approved for an amount up to
$929,704.30. Per the conditions of the funding program, construction needs to be
complete by March 31, 2020.
1.2 The work at Rundle Rd includes the installation of new warning system including flashing
lights and gates, and replacement of the crossing surface. The construction work began
in the fall of 2018 and was funded by Owasco as part of their development agreement. As
part of the agreement, any funds received through the RSIP would be reimbursed to the
developer. The reason this crossing was selected for submission to the RSIP program
was due to the significant change in traffic volumes at the crossing, which previously only
had cross bucks and stop signs as crossing warning and protection.
1.3 The work at Scugog St includes geometric improvements to the roadway intersection
immediately south of the grade crossing, re -configuration of the warning system on the
south side of the crossing, construction of sidewalk on the west side of Scugog St
through the crossing, as well as pedestrian safety improvements on both sides of the
crossing. Funding for the Municipality of Clarington's share of the work was previously
approved in the 2017 capital budget. The reason this crossing was selected for
submission to the RSIP program was due to the operational concerns at the intersection
and crossing. The current configuration can cause uncertainty for drivers regarding
where to stop when the drop arms come down on the Wellington Street leg of the
intersection, which has resulted in the arm hitting a car in several instances. The
geometric improvements at the intersection will eliminate this confusion by removing the
Wellington Street warning system, reconfiguring the intersection and placing a new
warning system on Scugog Street such that it will resemble a typical standard crossing
warning system.
Municipality of Clarington
Report EGD -015-19 Page 3
1.4 The work at Concession St East includes a new warning system with flashing lights and
gates, replacement of the crossing surface, and re -paving of the road approaches.
Funding for the Municipality of Clarington's share of the work will come from the
Pavement Rehabilitation program. This crossing was selected for submission to the
RSIP program as it was the next highest priority on our monitoring list, and has also seen
increased vehicle traffic volumes which triggered the warrant for the addition of drop
arms.

Report Overview
Page 2
As required under the Electricity Act, 1998 and Ontario Regulation 507/18 the Municipality is
required to complete an Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan (ECDM)
covering the year 2019-2024. The ECDM 2019-2024 Plan must be posted on the
Municipality's website by July 1, 2019.
1. Background
Provincial Regulation
1.1 In 2012, Ontario Regulation 397111 under the Green Energy Act, came into effect. This
Regulation required public agencies, including municipalities to report their energy
consumption and greenhouse gas emissions annually, to the Ministry of Energy. In
addition to this annual reporting, the Regulation also required the development and
implementation of an energy conservation and demand management plan.
1.2 In December 2018, the Province repealed the Green Energy Act. However, the
requirements of Ontario Regulation 397/11 were moved under the Electricity Act, 1998
to a new regulation Ontario Regulation 507/18.
1.3 The Conservation and Demand Management Plan 2014-2019 was prepared by the
Energy Management Steering Committee. With the dissolution of the Energy
Management Steering Committee and the recent formation of the Climate Change
Working Group as well as the challenging technical nature of the report, the Municipality
hired Blackstone Energy Inc. to assist with the preparation of the Energy Conservation
and Demand Management (ECDM) Plan 2019-2024.
2. Energy Conservation & Demand Management Plan 2019 - 2024
ECDM 2019 — 2024 Plan
2.1 Attached is the Municipality's ECDM Plan. A sub -committee of the Climate Change
Working Group was formed to work with Blackstone Energy Inc. to prepare this plan.
Information on the municipal buildings such as past energy audits, historical energy
consumption and past energy retrofits was shared with Blackstone. The group held a
strategic planning meeting to look at upcoming energy retrofit projects already planned
and to review suggested energy retrofits projects. Staff provided an estimated schedule
for each project. Blackstone used this information to project energy consumption and
savings and greenhouse gas (GHG) savings.
2.2 The ECDM 2019-2024 plan provides a useful road map for future energy conservation
projects. Many of the funding programs require technical information projecting the
energy and GHG reductions. The ECDM is a valuable tool as this information has been
calculated based on proposed strategies for municipal buildings.
Municipality of Clarington Page 3
Report CAO -008-19
2.3 It is important to note that the proposed initiatives in the ECDM plan are subject to
resource constraints such as budget and staff time. As well there could be opportunities
for other funding sources that may change the priorities depending on the program
requirements.
2.4 The energy conservation and greenhouse gas reduction actions proposed within the
ECDM Plan 2019-2024 will be incorporated into Clarington's Asset Management Plan.
Summary of CDM 2094-2099 Plan
2.5 The CDM 2014-2019 Plan set out seven goals and actions. In summary, the GDM
2014-2019 goals and actions were as follows_
(i) Complete Energy Audit Master Plan Phase I Implementation
(ii) Prepare Energy Audit Master Plan Phase II Implementation Project
(iii) Continue to Integrate Energy Conservation into the Corporate Asset Management
Strategy
(iv) Enhance Staff Energy Conservation Awareness and Engagement
(v) Strategically Align with Council's Corporate Strategic Plan 2015-2018
(vi) Initiate a Streetlight Retrofit Project
(vii) Reduce Energy Intensity Factor by 5% by 2019
2.6 In report CAO -406-12 Energy Master Plan Implementation Strategy, Council committed
to funding of $488,016.54 for energy retrofits from the Municipal Enterprise Reserve
Fund. The energy savings are to be used to pay back these funds to the reserve fund.
The majority of these energy retrofits were completed by 2017. Due to increasing costs
the lighting retrofit for the Municipal Administrative Centre was not completed. There
was only sufficient funds to complete the design portion of the project. However, this
did provide useful for ongoing lighting retrofits as the Municipal Administrative Centre.
The energy savings are used to pay The Municipality has received incentive payments
from the SaveONEnergy program. To date approximately 36% has been repaid to the
Municipal Enterprise Reserve Fund.
2.7 Phase II of the Energy Audit Master Plan has not been prepared. The implementation
of Phase I took some time and the increasing costs proved challenging. As well the
Energy Management Steering Committee was dissolved in 2018. Since the
implementation of Phase I of the Energy Master Plan, energy conservation has become
factored into capital projects and is part of the Asset Management Plan. This should be
Municipality of Clarington Page 4
Report CAO -008-19
enhanced through the ECDM 2019-2024 Plan and some of the work by the Climate
Change Working Group.
2.8 The Energy Management Steering Committee had ongoing events and seminars to
increase staff awareness of energy conservation at work as well as at home. It is hoped
that energy conservation and climate change education be considered by the Climate
Change Working Group.
2.9 Although Energy Conservation is not specifically identified in Council's Strategic Plan for
2015-2018 nor in the 2019-2022, the decision by Council to create the Climate Change
Working Group shows its commitment to climate change and energy conservation.
2.10 The Municipality initiated the LED streetlight retrofit in 2018. This project saw the
replacement of approximately 5,800 cobra head style streetlights. In 2019 the
Municipality will be replacing approximately 1,000 decorative streetlights. The energy
savings on the LED street lighting is significant with a projected 40-50% energy savings.
While electricity for streetlights is not reported on the BCP annual consumption
reporting the energy saving and subsequent GHG savings is valuable contribution by
the Municipality_
2.11 When preparing the first CDM 2014-2019 Plan, the Municipal staff did not have the
technical resources available. Part of the CDM requirements was a quantitative goal.
The Energy Management Steering Committee chose to set a goal of reducing the
energy intensity as this measurement factors in the building area and the hours of
operation with respect to the total energy consumption. In 2011, the total energy
intensity of buildings measured was 1,055.96 eKwh/sq ft. The last energy intensity
measurement of the Municipality is from the 2016 data. In 2016, the total energy
intensity of buildings measured was 858.68 eKwh/sq ft. This shows an 18.68%
reduction from 2011 to 2016. While there have been some significant changes in
building during this period it does showcase the positive effect of energy conservation
retrofits. Going forward and with the technical assistance of Blackstone Energy Inc. the
projected energy savings from detailed project implementation plan, the ECDM 2019-
2024 provides more specific goals for energy savings and GHG reductions.

Executive Summary
The purpose of this Energy Conservation and Demand Management (ECDM) Plan from the Municipality
of Clarington is to outline specific actions and measures that will promote good stewardship of our
environment and community resources in the years to come. The Plan will accomplish this, in part, by
looking at future projections of energy consumption and reviewing past conservation measures.
This ECDM Plan outlines how the municipality will reduce overall energy consumption, operating costs
and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and is written in accordance with sections 4, 5, and 6 of the recently
amended Electricity Act, 1998, 0. Reg. 507/18.
Through past conservation and demand initiatives, the Municipality of Clarington has achieved the
following results:
❑ 358,201 kwh reduction in electricity use
❑ 77,701 m3 increase in natural gas use
❑ 490 L reduction in fuel oil use
❑ 26,057 L reduction in propane use
These fluctuations in utility consumption can be influenced by the expansion of building sizes, changes in
facility hours of operation, as well weather conditions.
Today, utility and energy related costs are a significant part of overall operating costs. In 2018:
❑ Energy Use Index (EUI) average was 42 ekWh/ft2
❑ Energy-related GHG emissions equaled 3,161 tCO2e
To obtain full value from energy management activities, the Municipality of Clarington will continue to
take a strategic approach to fully integrate energy management into its business decision-making, policies
and operating procedures. This active management of energy-related costs and risks will provide an
economic return and will support other key organizational objectives.
With the implementation of this ECDM Plan, it is estimated that the Municipality of Clarington can achieve
the following targets by 2024 (the reduction is based off the data from the baseline year of 2018):
IJ 7 % reduction in electricity consumption
❑ 3% reduction in natural gas consumption
❑ 5% reduction in site -wide average EUI
❑ 4% reduction in tCO2e carbon equivalent emissions
❑ Continue to review opportunities for energy conservation and GHG reduction

Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan 2019
1 Introduction
The objective of this document is to create a 5 -year corporate plan to meet the regulatory requirements of O.Reg 507/18 (further detail in Section 2.0).
This regulation requires that all Broader Public Sector (BPS) entities create a publicly accessible Energy Conservation & Demand Management (ECDM)
Plan. The plan must review the historical and forecasted performance of the facilities that are owned and operated by the Municipality. In total, 27
facilities were analyzed for this report. Fleet vehicle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were not included in the report as per the regulatory requirements,
but data is being reviewed for future reporting opportunities. Blackstone Energy Services was retained to complete the report in collaboration with a
working group of municipal staff from across the corporation. The process and methodology used to complete this report is shown below.
In order to obtain full value from energy management activities, and to strengthen our conservation initiatives, a strategic approach must be taken. Our
organization will strive to fully integrate energy management into our practices by considering indoor environmental quality, operational efficiency and
sustainably sourced resources when making financial decisions. The results and the progress of the past five years, and the projected impact of the new
ECDM Plan is presented in the graph below.

1.1 Methodology
In order to meet the regulatory requirements, annual utility consumption data for each facility was
collected from 2014
Page 15
Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan 2019
2 Regulatory Update
O. Reg. 397/11: Conservation and Demand Management Plans was introduced in 2013. Under this
regulation, public agencies were required to report on energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions annually and develop Conservation and Demand Management (CDM) plans the following year.
The chart below outlines the difference between the annual BPS reporting requirement and the CDM
plans (now called ECDM plans).
Until recently, 0. Reg. 397/11 was housed under the Green Energy Act, 2009 (GEA). On December 7, 2018,
the Ontario government passed Bill 34, Green Energy Repeal Act, 2018. The Bill repealed the GEA and all
its underlying Regulations, including 0. Reg. 397/11. However, it re-enacted various provisions of the GEA
under the Electricity Act, 1998.
As a result, the conservation and energy efficiency initiatives, namely CDM plans and broader public sector
energy reporting, were re -introduced as amendments to the Electricity Act. The new regulation is now
called O. Reg. 507/18: Broader Public Sector: Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plans
(ECDM).
As of January 1, 2019, 0. Reg. 397/11 was replaced by 0. Reg. 507/18, and BPS reporting and ECDM plans
are under the Electricity Act, 1998 rather than the Green Energy Act, 2009.

3.3 Case Studies
The Municipality of Clarington is continuously looking for ways to improve its operations. Below are a
couple of examples of past energy saving projects that were completed prior to the current ECDM period.
LED streetlight replacement to save $400,000 each year
In 2018, the Municipality of Clarington initiated the process of replacing approximately 5,800 cobra head
style streetlights throughout Clarington with new energy efficient LED streetlights. This conversion will
see a 40 to 50 per cent reduction in energy use for the lights, which translates to a savings of roughly
$400,000 annually for electricity. There will also be significant savings in streetlight maintenance as the
new lights have a life span of roughly 100,000 hours (20 years) compared to roughly 20,000 to 25,000
hours for an HPS light. The reduced maintenance will save the Municipality of Clarington approximately
$150,000 annually. This initiative will continue in 2019 with LED replacement planned for approximately
1,000 decorative streetlights installed throughout Clarington.
De -oxygenated Water System Retrofit
In 2017, the Community Services Department upgraded its ice flooding equipment at South Courtice
Arena to use a de -oxygenated water system. The new system removes oxygen from the source water,
allowing the use of warm water instead of hot water in ice flooding operations. The Municipality received
a $10,000 incentive from Enbridge Gas for implementing the new technology, and additional savings have
been identified on monthly utility bills due to the reduced amount of natural gas needed to heat the
water.
