Delegations 9.1 Pauline Witzke, Port Darlington Community Association, Regarding Report ENG-006-20 Cedar Crest Beach Rd and West Beach Rd Berm Review and Estimates Pauline Witzke, Chair, Port Darlington Community Association was present, via electronic means, regarding Report EGD-006-20 Cedar Crest Beach Rd. and West Beach Rd. Bern Review and Estimates. Ms. Witzke made a verbal presentation to accompany an electronic presentation. She provided a review of the flooding issues on Cedar Crest Beach and West Beach Road. Ms. Witzke stated that she agrees that West Beach Road is a difficult place to build a berm because the road is already raised with added gravel and will soon be a danger for power lines and tractor trailer trucks. She provided the Committee with the following potential community questions regard to the berm:  How far away from the road will the berm be? Assuming it must be kept out of range of the snow plow, it will likely start at least 1 metre 3 feet) North of the road.  The report acknowledges that this will impact some gardens that have been planted by residents on the North side of the road, and will require brushing and the removal of trees along the other parts of the road. Residents may want to relocate their items before construction and will need some notice. After construction, will the berms be seeded with grass and will the residents be allowed to plant in them?  Will the berm be built of low-permeability materials like clay and silt? Given the typical angle of response or most soil, the berm will have to be a bit wider than it is tall, about 2 feet wide for the tallest parts. This means that about 5 feet of land North of the road will have to be cleared. Will the wood material be chipped and left in place and will you brush all the way to the fence? Page 8 Joint Committee Minutes dated April 27-28, 2020 3 She stated that, the community is pleased to see the improvement and agree with the idea of culverts being used to breach the berm . 9.2 Pauline Witzke, Port Darlington Community Association, Regarding Report PSD-012-20 Cedar Crest Beach Update - Beach Erosion/Property Loss Study Pauline Witzke, Chair, Port Darlington Community Association was also present via electronic means regarding Report PSD-012-20 Cedar Crest Beach Update - Beach Erosion/Property Loss Study. Ms. W itzke made a verbal presentation to accompany an electronic presentation. She provided a review on the Shoreline Erosion Study. Ms. Witzke added that she attended the January General Government Committee meeting requesting help and noted that the request for tender didn't go out until four months later. She stated that the local residents are fortunate that the predicted flooding has not occurred although she is concerned about how long it has taken for the Municipality to take action. 9.3 Tom Kara, Regarding Cedar Crest Beach Recess Resolution # JC-044-20 Moved by Councillor Neal Seconded by Councillor Jones That the Committee recess for 5 minutes to enable Staff to ensure Mr. Kara was able to connect to the meeting. Carried The meeting reconvened at 7:51 PM with Mayor Foster in the Chair. Tom Kara was present via electronic means regarding Cedar Crest Beach. Mr. Kara made a verbal presentation to accompany an electronic presentation. He stated that he has been a resident of Cedar Crest Beach for man y years. Mr. Kara noted that any berm should be designed to hold back the water and should address the marsh levels and not Lake Ontario levels. He explained the best way to protect Cedar Crest Beach residents is to have a proper functioning outlet. Mr. Kara added that setting the berm at 76.0 m is not high enough since the marsh will be much higher than the lake. He explained that the berm is only a temporary solution as water will go underneath the sand layer of the marsh and eventually and come back up. Mr. Kara continued explaining that the berm should act like a dyke and must be extended from Watson Road to the bridge and extend out to the lake. He added that the berm is not a simple solution and added that, if the Municipality decides to not open the barrier beach because of the berm, it will be a big mistake. Mr. Kara noted some issues were overlooked regarding Cedar Crest Beach erosion. He explained that the rock walls were built because of the changes caused by the pier and added that, if the rock walls were never built, the erosion would have continued and accelerated as time went on. Mr. Kara expressed that Page 9 Joint Committee Minutes dated April 27-28, 2020 4 residents of the area must be involved in the study. He stated that he believes we need to identify what has caused the erosion. Mr. Kara added that now is the time to decide what is the best course of action to resolve and to fix this issue. 10.

Review of Farm Property Class Tax Rate Programme AND WHEREAS the province hasn’t undertaken a review of this programme since it was implemented in 1998; NOW THEREFORE the Council of the Township of Mapleton requests that: 1. The Province of Ontario undertake a review of the Farm Property Tax Class Rate Programme to determine: a. The appropriateness of the cost of the Farm Property Tax Class Rate Programme falling disproportionately amongst rural residential and business property owners when the benefit of an economically competitive agricultural industry and affordable food and agricultural products is a provincial objective that should be shared amongst all taxpayers in Ontario; b. The adequacy of funding being provided to rural municipalities to offset the cost of the Farm Property Tax Class Rate Programme; c. The differences between the amount of property taxes paid in rural and urban municipalities and the root causes of those differences; d. Economic competitiveness concerns with disproportionately higher average property taxes being paid in rural municipalities; e. Other methods of delivering the farm tax rebate programme to farmland owners where the cost can be shared province-wide. AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT this motion be sent to Hon. Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario, Hon. Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Hon. Rod Phillips, Minister of Finance, Hon. Ernie Hardeman, Minister of Agriculture, Food & Rural Affairs, MPP Randy Pettapiece, Hon. Ted Arnott, all Ontario Municipalities, Rural Ontario Municipal Association (ROMA) and Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO).

Page 29 Whereas The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington supports the National Transportation Policy and Section 5 of the Canada Transportation Act, S.C. 1996, c. 10 (as amended), which states in part: a competitive, economic and efficient national transportation system that meets the highest practicable safety and security standards and contributes to a sustainable environment, makes best use of all modes of transportation at the lowest cost is essential to serve the needs of its users, advance the well-being of Canadians, enable competitiveness and economic growth in both urban and rural areas throughout Canada. Those objectives are achieved when: (a) competition and market forces among modes of transportation, are prime agents in providing viable and effective transportation services; (b) regulation and strategic public intervention are used to achieve economic, safety, security, environmental or social outcomes (c) rates and conditions do not constitute an undue obstacle to the movement of traffic within Canada or to the export of goods from Canada; (d) the transportation system is accessible without undue obstacle to the mobility of persons, including persons with disabilities; and (e) governments and the private sector work together for an integrated transportation system. Whereas The government of Canada has stated: “we are serious about climate change” and “smart investments in transit help connection communities …. We will continue to work with communities and invest in the infrastructure they need today and into the future”; Whereas Abacus data has indicated that Canadians are focused on building transit to reduce congestion and connect communities; Whereas The Canadian Transport Commission main finding at public hearings in 1977 was that there should be no further reductions to passenger rail services; Whereas The frequency of VIA trains running in Canada has been reduced significantly since 1977, causing a subsequent significant drop in ridership; Whereas There is a need for balanced transportation with more using transit and less using automobiles; Whereas The changing demographic relating to house prices, housing affordability will require further expansions of transit; Page 30 Whereas There is a need to visit tourist sites located along rail lines; Whereas The annual cost of congestion to the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area economy alone is between $7.5 and $11 billion; Whereas There are 10 million more vehicles on the road today than there were in 2000; and Whereas the Municipality of Clarington requests the support of this resolution from all communities served by VIA; Be It Resolved That the Council of the Corporation of Clarington recommends to the Government of Canada to adequately fund and fully support VIA Rail Canada in increasing the frequency, reliability, ticket cost and speed of VIA rail service in 2020 and successive years.

Now therefore be it resolved: 1. That broadband must be treated as critical infrastructure in support of our new economy, as Clarington works towards its goal of 100% reliable connectivity; 2. That the federal and provincial governments be requested to coordinate their efforts and increase the funds available to drive this important initiative ahead ; and 3. That Erin O’Toole (MP Durham), Philip Lawrence (MP Northumberland - Peterborough South), Lindsey Park (MPP Durham), David Piccini (MPP Northumberland-Peterborough South) and the Region of Durham be notified of Council’s decision.

The Subdivision Agreement provides for: 1.2 Initial Works These works were issued a ‘Certificate of Completion’ and a subsequent ‘Certificate of Acceptance’ by the Director of Engineering Services. 1.3 Street Lighting System These works were issued a ‘Certificate of Completion’ and a subsequent ‘Certificate of Acceptance’ by the Director of Engineering Services. 1.4 Stormwater Management System Not Applicable to this Subdivision 1.5 Final Works These works, which include all surface works such as granular shoulders, ditches, infiltration gallery, hot mix paving, boulevard works and street trees, were issued a ‘Certificate of Completion’ dated April 30, 2019. This initiated a one (1) year maintenance period, which expired on April 30, 2020. The Works were re-inspected at that time, and although the developer experienced delays in completing repairs, all deficiencies have now been rectified to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering Services. Report Overview This report concerns Kirby Heights Subdivision. It requests Council’s permission to issue the required Certificate of Acceptance for the Final Works, as well as approve a by-law to assume certain streets within Plan 40M-2480 as public highways.

Report To: General Government Committee Date of Meeting: May 11, 2020 Report Number: COD-015-20 Submitted By: Marie Marano, Director of Corporate Services Reviewed By: Andrew C. Allison, CAO By-law Number: File Number: Resolution#: Report Subject: Joint Health & Safety Committee – 2019 Summary Recommendation: 1. That Report COD-015-20 be received, and 2. That the updated Policy #E-5 Workplace Harassment and the Health & Safety Policy Statement be endorsed. Page 126 Municipality of Clarington Page 2 Report COD-015-20 1. Background 1.1 The Occupational Health and Safety Act requires the Joint Health and Safety Committee provide the employer with an annual update if requested. This report also provides a summary of incidents and accidents that occurred in the workplace during 2019. 2. 2019 Policy Review and Update of Corporate Health & Safety Policies 2.1 Work has been progressing throughout the year to review and update the Corporate Health & Safety Policies. The update and review process is ongoing in line with our continuous improvement plan. As part of this review, the following policies are included for endorsement: Health & Safety Policy Statement (Attachment #1), employee Workplace Sexual Harassment Policy E5 (Attachment #2), and Workplace Violence Policy E8 as required by the Occupational Health and Safety Act (Attachment #3). 2.2 A joint review was conducted with the Ministry of Labour dealing with the Corporate Health and Safety Policy on Ergonomics and Musculoskeletal Disorders to focus on prevention in the workplace. This included a review and update of our Corporate Policy on MSD’s and offering awareness training to staff in line with the Municipality’s continuous improvement plan. These programs raise the awareness of these types of injuries, supporting the goal to reduce the risk factors. Eight training sessions were provided on “MSD Awareness and Prevention” which was attended by 176 staff members. 2.3 We continue to monitor the Substance Abuse Policy to ensure it stays in line with the legalization of Cannabis. The Safe Driver Program which was introduced in 2018 was also reviewed late in 2019 which may lead to some changes going forward as we review some recommendations on training. 3. NEER Statement Results 3.1 Throughout the course of the year, The WSIB monitors the number of reported incidents and accidents. Employers are required to advise the WSIB of any injury that requires medical aid and/or lost time. The cost value of these claims is reported back to the employer quarterly in the form of a NEER statement. NEER is referred to as the New Experimental Experience Rating. The individual employer’s performance is measured Report Overview The purpose of this report is to update Council on the annual activities undertaken by the Joint Health and Safety Committee during the past year. Page 127 Municipality of Clarington Page 3 Report COD-015-20 through the WSIB Performance Index utilizing the previous four (4) year injury history which is used in part to assess the employer’s annual premiums. A rating of 1.0 is neutral; above 1.0 requires addition premium surcharges to be paid by the employer; and a rating below 1.0, the employer receives a refund of premiums. These adjustments are in addition to the base rate group premium of $3.15 per $100.00 of earnings which applied for 2019. The total WSIB premiums for 2019 was $981,103. 3.2 In December 2019 the final NEER results for 2018 were received, indicating a rebate. This indicated Clarington’s performance was much better than expected costs for the year. The rebate for 2018 was $356,268 which was a reflection of the dedicated efforts to health and safety of employees. 3.3 Rebates/Surcharges are continually adjusted based on individual claim activity for the previous four years (2015 through to 2018). In December of 2019 the four-year NEER summary statement was received.  For 2018 the rebate was $356,268  For 2017 the review/adjustment increased our 2017 rebate by $13,808  For 2016 the review/adjustment increased our 2016 rebate by $2,687  For 2015 the review/adjustment remained neutral  This resulted in a final rebate cheque of $372,763 in December 2019 4. Early and Safe Return to Work Program 4.1 All Departments continue to follow and have success with the Corporate Early and Safe Return to Work Program as set out in the Corporate Health & Safety Policy H31. In order to reduce lost earnings costs to the above noted NEER program, the WSIB encourages all employers to develop an Early and Safe Return to Work program. The purpose of this program is for the employer to work with the injured employee to return to work as soon as possible after experiencing a work-related injury. 4.2 In most cases, employees who experience a work-related injury return to work within 24 hours and do not incur lost wages. However, in more serious injuries, employees may not be able to perform their normal duties. In the past, those employees would have remained off work until they were able to return to full duties. The Early and Safe Return to Work Program allows the employer to offer the employee alternate duties that would be meaningful to the employer, and not cause any further injury to the employee. By doing so, the employee returns to work earlier than they normally may have; the employee does not collect WSIB payment for lost wages and the employer does not incur increased WSIB premiums and/or NEER Surcharges. Page 128 Municipality of Clarington Page 4 Report COD-015-20 4.3 The WSIB has announced that 2019 was the final year of the NEER Rebate/Surcharge program. Beginning in 2020 employers will be operating under a new program of accident performance. We will receive a final NEER review and statement reflecting of our performance for the period of 2016 – 2019 inclusive, in December of 2020. 5. Activities 5.1 The Joint Health and Safety Committee (JH&SC) is co-chaired by Municipal staff representing both management and workers within the Municipality. The committee represents management workers, Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 74 (both Inside and Outside Workers) as well as the Clarington Fire Fighters Association Local 3139. 5.2 The 2019 committee consisted of 14 members (members list; attachment #4) plus alternate members who attend meetings in the absence of a JH&SC Member and assist with monthly facility inspections. 5.3 The municipal JH&SC members meet every month with the exception of July and August. All minutes are retained within statutory limits and current minutes are circulated to Department Heads and they are also posted for all staff on the Health and Safety Boards located at every workplace within the Municipality. A typical agenda will include:  Agenda Review  Introduction of Guests  Department Head Presentation  Approval of Previous Minutes  Business Arising from Minutes  Review of Previous Month Workplace Inspections  Current Workplace Inspections  Accident / Injury Statistics Review  New Business - Departmental Health/Safety Updates  Workplace Inspection Assignments 5.4 The JH&SC members also conduct monthly inspections of Municipal workplaces. On a monthly basis, there are at least fourteen inspections carried out by the JH&SC. The Occupational Health and Safety Act (OH&SA) states that all facilities must be inspected monthly; and where it is not practical to for a complete inspection, at least part of the facility must be inspected. In addition, the requirement to inspect municipal work sites, all other municipally owned facilities (Board operated community centres) are inspected at least once per year. Inspection forms are also retained and the current forms posted on the JH&SC Boards for staff information. Page 129 Municipality of Clarington Page 5 Report COD-015-20 5.5 In September of 2019 Joint Health & Safety Committee Member training was completed for all members including alternates. Throughout 2019 education sessions were conducted on Mental Health & Wellness in the Workplace with plans to continue these education sessions in 2020. Several half day awareness sessions were offered for staff to help raise the level of awareness of mental health issues in our workplaces. 5.6 As the WSIB and Ministry of Labour are focused on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and ongoing importance of mental health, training was provided for staff members who are in roles where they have authority over workers (Directors, Managers, Supervisors and Lead Hands). This was a two-day course titled “Mental Health First Aid Certification” which certified participants with the Mental Health Commission of Canada to respond a nd provide initial help to co-workers suffering from mental health issues. These sessions were attended by 45 staff members. 6. Incidents and Accidents 6.1 Incidents and accidents are tracked and reported on a monthly basis to the Health & Safety Committee. The statistics are used to identify trends and opportunities for improvement and training. The total number of incidents documented for 2019 was 82 compared to 64 in 2018. This includes lifts, slips, falls, minor cuts, near misses, reports only, in house first aid, as well as WSIB reportable occurrences. 6.2 The Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB) requires employers to report a work related accident if the employer learns that a worker required health care and/or; is absent from work, earns less than regular pay, requires modified work at less than regular pay, or the worker does not receive medical attention but requires modified work for more than seven calendar days following the dat e of the accident. Employers are not required to report a work-related accident if the worker receives only first aid. Reports to WSIB 2018 2019 Medical Aid 20 13 Lost Time 5 9 Total 25 24 These 24 reported injuries are included in the statistics total noted in 6.1 Page 130 Municipality of Clarington Page 6 Report COD-015-20 6.3 The number of reportable injuries was virtually the same for 2019 compared with 2018, with an increase in minor Lost Times and a decrease in Medical Aids. 6.4 WSIB presumptive claims are listed below. WSIB has concluded full time firefighters, fire investigators and volunteer firefighters, have an increased risk for heart disease, lung disease, cancers and Post Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD). Legislation was passed that provides that Emergency Responders diagnosed with a prescribed cancer on or after January 1, 1960, and meets the employment duration and additional criteria for the prescribed cancer as set out by WSIB, then the disease is presumed to be an occupational disease due to the nature of the worker’s employment. The presumptive cancer claims do not form part of the NEER assessment and are paid by WSIB because the Municipality is a schedule 1 employer, whereas Post Traumatic Stress Disorder claims although presumptive, do affect WSIB rating for premium assessment.

Conclusion 8.1 This report has been endorsed by Mike McCron, Health & Safety Coordinator and Marc Ladouceur Co-chair for 2019. Support for the Health and Safety Program within the Municipality has been endorsed by all staff from the part-time occasional staff member to full time staff, supervisors, managers, department heads, CAO and Council. This support has been demonstrated by our ongoing annual NEER rebates helping to reduce WSIB costs. Continued support for staff training programs and awareness will continue to reduce injuries and costs within the workplace.

Based on knowledge obtained, the Corporation may be required to proceed with the investigation and report without the complainant’s direct involvement. g) The respondent is entitled to a specific disposition of the issue as appropriate to the situation and findings. h) Every effort must be made by all parties to stop the harassment immediately. i) Any employee may at any time throughout the process seek advice or assistance from the Ontario Human Rights Commission. j) The employer will provide workers with information and instruction that is appropriate for the worker on the contents of this policy and program with respect to workplace harassment. 4. Procedures: The Complainant: Any person who believes he/she is being harassed by another person is advised to take the following measures: Step #1 – Ask the harasser to stop: Inform the harasser that his or her behaviour is unwelcome. An individual (although he or she should know better) may not realize that he or she is being offensive. A simple chat may resolve the problem. If the person refuses to cooperate, remind him or her that such behaviour is against Municipal policy. If the employee feels uncomfortable asking the harasser to stop, assistance or intervention by Human Resources may be sought. Page 137 E5 - Harassment Page 5 of 8 Step #2 – Keep a record of the harassment: When did the harassment start? (E.g. dates, time, locations). What happened? Were there any witnesses? Were there any threats or reprisal? What was your response? Failure to keep a diary of the events will not invalidate your complaint. A record will, however, reinforce it. Step #3 – Lodge a complaint: a) If the harassment, despite your efforts to stop it, continues, you should report the problem to your Supervisor, Department Head or a designate from Human Resources. If the offending person is the designate from Human Resources, the complaint should be taken directly to the Chief Administrative Officer or designate. If the offending person is the Department Head, the complaint shall be reported to Human Resources who will bring this matter to the CAO. If the offending person is the CAO, the Human Resources designate has the ability to advise Council in a confidential report. b) If the complaint is against a member of Council, alleged by another member of Council or by staff, the matter will be addressed through the Council Code of Conduct. The complaint shall be submitted to the Integrity Commissioner as per the Council Code of Conduct Complaint Procedure. The Integrity Commissioner will report to Council in accordance with governing protocol of that Office. c) Once the complaint is received, if verbal, Human Resources will document the events as communicated. If the compliant is in writing the date and time received will be recorded. Both parties may have a copy of the complaint, but Human Resources will retain all formal records. d) Where a manager or supervisor initially receives the official complaint, it is his/her responsibility to ensure that the designate from Human Resources and the Department Head is notified about the complaint as soon as reasonably possible. The designate from Human Resources is then responsible for assessment and initiation of an investigation. e) The designate from Human Resources will acknowledge receipt of a complaint as soon as reasonably possible to the Manager/Department Head/Complainant/Alleged Harasser. f) The Department Head and the CAO will be kept apprised of the process as to the appropriate steps throughout the process. Human Resources: Human Resources with assistance from the Health & Safety Coordinator if requested shall take the following steps: Page 138 E5 - Harassment Page 6 of 8 Step #1 – Investigation of Complaint will be conducted by Human Resources or by Independent investigator as appropriate to the circumstances as determined by Human Resources. a) Fact finding i) A confidential interview with relevant parties will be conducted to obtain information and clarify the details of the reported incident. Both parties will have an opportunity to identify witnesses or others who may be interviewed. Where witnesses are not identified, or where otherwise appropriate, co-workers or other individuals may be interviewed. All interviews will be conducted in a confidential manner. ii) The results and conclusions of the investigation will be documented after interviewing the complainant, respondent and any other relevant witnesses including co-workers if necessary. Complainant and/or respondents may be asked to verify documentation. Where appropriate and necessary, the investigator may contact the Ontario Human Rights Commission or independent investigation firms for advice or assistance. b) Preliminary findings i) Where the information revealed early in the investigation suggests a reasonable possibility of a resolution, an early settlement may be proposed prior to conducting the entire investigation. ii) Where appropriate, a meeting may be convened with the parties (either individually or collectively as appropriate) involved to discuss preliminary findings of the investigation and inform participants of the possibility and nature of early settlement and the reasons. iii) This stage allows all parties to become aware of the tentative findings and presents an opportunity, based on the information, to resolve the matter upon agreement of all parties without further investigation. iv) Where agreement is reached and the matter deemed resolved, a summary report will be prepared for the Chief Administrative Officer and appropriate Department Head. v) In situations where both parties agree on a settlement but Human Resources deem the situation could pose a risk of further action, danger or legal outcome, Human Resources will make recommendations to the CAO regarding acceptance of the proposed settlement or proceeding further. c) Further investigation i) Where, as a result of preliminary findings, a resolution cannot be proposed or achieved, or where the designate from Human Resources determines that file closure at this point would not be appropriate, further investigations will be conducted. Page 139 E5 - Harassment Page 7 of 8 d) Notification and discussion of results i) The designate from Human Resources will subsequently schedule meetings with the complainant, alleged harasser, Department Head and/or Chief Administrative Officer where necessary, to present and discuss the findings and conclusions of the investigation. Separate meetings may be convened if necessary and all parties have a right to be represented. e) Report of Findings i) A written general summary of the complaint and results of the investigation will be provided to the Chief Administrative Officer, Director of Corporate Services/HR, Department Head the complainant and the respondent as they are affected by the outcome. Documents are retained by Human Resources and detailed notes are not provided to complainant or respondent. ii) The final full report will not be released to complainant or respondent or other party involved unless extenuating circumstances dictate, or there is a legal requirement to release the report. iii) The results of an investigation under this policy and any report created in the course of or for the investigation, are not a report respecting occupational health and safety for the purposes of Section 25(2) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act. f) Disciplinary measures i) If there is evidence of harassment, disciplinary measures will be taken by the Department Head, in consultation with the Director of Corporate Services/HR and the Chief Administrative Officer as appropriate. Such discipline may include suspension or termination of employment. Documentation regarding the disciplinary action will be placed in the employees personnel file. ii) The worker who has allegedly experienced workplace harassment and the alleged harasser, if he or she is a worker of the employer will be informed of the results of the investigation and of any corrective action that has been taken or that will be taken as a result of the investigation. g) Malicious complaints i) Where, as a result of an investigation, it is determined that the complaint was made maliciously – with a specific and directed intent to harm, or made in bad faith with reasonable knowledge of any intent to harm, formal disciplinary actions may be taken against the complainant, after consultation with the Department Head, Director of Corporate Services/HR and/or CAO as appropriate. Documentation regarding the disciplinary action will be placed in the employee’s personnel file. Page 140 E5 - Harassment Page 8 of 8 Step #2 – Preventing a Re-Occurrence a) If the complaint is found to be not supported, no documentation of the complaint will be placed in the employee file of the respondent, unless the respondent requests a letter of clearance stating the claim was unfounded be placed into their employee file. Human Resources will maintain all records. b) It is the responsibility of the Department Head and Supervisors to make all reasonable efforts to ensure that workplace harassment does not occur and that there is no retaliation for having made a good faith complaint in his or her department. The Respondent: a) Assess your behaviour seriously. Understand that even if you did not intend to offend, your behaviour has been perceived as offensive. Be aware that the test of harassment is not whether you intended to offend, but whether a reasonable person ought to have known that the behaviour, comments or conduct were unwelcome. b) Cease the behaviour that the person finds offensive or unwelcome. Failure to cease this behaviour will leave you more vulnerable to a formal complaint, which could lead to disciplinary actions. c) If you believe the complaint is unfounded, discuss the matter with your supervisor and/or Department Head or Human Resources. d) You are entitled to know the allegations against you and to have an opportunity to respond. e) Document your version of the alleged incident including times, places, what happened and any witnesses. f) Cooperate with any investigation undertaken to resolve the matter.

Background 1.1 It has become a necessity for Clarington to replace its current Land Development Office (LDO) system used to track municipal law enforcement case files, building permits, planning and land-use applications through the planning process and to monitor development trends over time with an advanced modern system. The LDO system was implemented in 2005 and lacks important features required in today’s digital world. Technologically, Clarington needs to keep pace with its peer Municipalities in regard to Land Development Software and to be able to maximize all opportunities to deliver value to its residents, businesses and visitors through modern, technology-enabled services. The next level of efficiencies and effectiveness comes from comprehensive business solutions that will support complete, interdepartmental workf lows, eliminate data duplication, improve customer service, and deliver powerful and integrated information for the next level of sophistication in modern business management. The existing system does not have the functional capabilities staff in all departments require and has reached end-of-useful-life as there are no further enhancements being made and only the basic framework of the software is being maintained. Therefore it is vital for the existing system to be replaced as soon as possible in order to mitigate risk to the integrity of the municipal data and IT infrastructure. There is a need for new technology to support increased volume and complexity of work and opportunities to achieve efficiencies through the ability to work in the field. Customer expectations now include 24/7 access to service information, booking and application processes, status updates and personal account information. In most cases these customer-facing systems and views require access to real-time data and assume that processes will move along in a predictable fashion. 1.2 Municipal Business Solution (MBS) system will be Clarington’s most robust software acquisition to date and it will be a corporate solution, encompassing and linking the business processes of all departments. In addition to other workflow initiatives, this comprehensive project was initiated through the IT Strategic Plan and through multi -year budgeting it is being brought forward as part of the 2020 Budget. The MBS system addresses at least seven items from the IT Strategic Plan which includes the following: Report Overview The Municipal Business Solution (MBS) is an opportunity to enhance the customer experience and provide demonstrable gains in efficiency and effectiveness. The purpose of this report is to obtain authorization to move forward with an award to Vision 33 for the development and implementation of the recommended Municipal Business Solution in accordance to the terms, conditions and specifications of RFP2020-4B. Page 166 Municipality of Clarington Page 3 Report COD-018-20  LDO replacement;  Customer Relationship Management (CRM);  Online Strategy;  eForms Strategy;  Remote access;  Collaboration tools; and  (Possibly) Work Management for Operations. The ability to have all departments access the software using a central database will significantly benefit the Municipality, our residents and stakeholders. The central database will allow internal and external users to have real-time access to their respective file whether it is a building permit application, complaint, business licensing application, or development application. Examples of opportunities for process automation and improvement include workflows, on-line applications, file upload and assignment inspection scheduling, on-scene / in-field file updates, cross-departmental shared access, and real-time reporting. One specific process improvement that will be realized in the Building Division is that all building inspections will be digital with information automatically being updated to the new system. This eliminate the need to handle the inspection information twice once the inspector returns to the office transferring handwritten paper records to digital records allowing for more efficient use of staff’s time. 1.4 Implementation of the MBS will facilitate collaboration amongst all departments. Through integration with existing systems, investments will be maximized, and process improvements and efficiencies will be realized. Other workflow automation projects currently in place or imminently, include: electronic agendas and meeting management, electronic invoice approvals, e-procurement, electronic fund transfers, parking ticket issuance and payment collection, marriage license applications and issuance, on-line collaboration, scheduling, sidewalk inspections, online inquiry for all departments where inquiries can be made. 1.5 The MBS system will allow the Municipality to conduct business with a more customer- centric approach. It will provide citizens with an online opportunity to apply for permits, submit payments, submit applications and the ability to attach supporting documents or drawings and extract meaningful information (e.g. determine the status on whether a subdivision has been assumed by the Municipality, etc.). 1.6 The software solution would address existing and potential future business processes that include:  Development (Planning & Engineering) Tracking Page 167 Municipality of Clarington Page 4 Report COD-018-20  Building Permit – Administration and inspections  Digital Plans Review  E-Application Submission and tracking  Online Payment Collection  Municipal Law Enforcement occurrence tracking  Fire Inspection Activity Tracking  Integration with ArcGIS, Dynamics Great Plains (GP) Financial System, City Wide Asset Management, Property Tax System & Document Management System (Laserfiche or Sharepoint Portal or both)  Corporate Agreements Management and Tracking (Legal)  Property Information Management (MPAC & Teranet)  Mobile Workforce (For inspections and investigations by the infield staff of various departments)  Citizen Portal / Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Solution integrated with Other Applications  Public Works Maintenance System  Inspections, including but not limited to parks, playground, roads and workplace  Road Patrol  Fleet Services and Building Services work order tracking  Sign reflectivity inventory testing 2. Methodology 2.1 A W orking Group was formed to assist in the development of the requirements and terms of reference for the potential new software solution . The W orking Group includes subject matter experts from all departments. Over 275 business and technical requirements were documented based on the existing and future needs of the system. Each process was prioritized using “Mandatory”, “Should Have” and “Could Have” classifications. 2.2 Once all departments’ requirements and processes were determined, the information was provided to the Purchasing Services Division. The intent of collecting this information was to develop a Request for Proposal (RFP) document that would allow interested and qualified proponents to respond to the Municipality’s request for the supply, delivery, data migration, installation, training, testing and service/support of an MBS. The selected software would then replace the existing LDO solution and incorporate additional modules in accordance with the Information Technology Strategic Plan. Page 168 Municipality of Clarington Page 5 Report COD-018-20 2.3 An Expression of Interest (EOI) was issued March 14, 2019. The intent of the EOI was to determine if there were any qualified companies interested in providing a software solution which could meet the Municipal requirements as determined by the Working Group. Eight companies responded to the EOI advising that they met the requirements and were able to provide a solution. 2.4 Based on the findings from the EOI the RFP was drafted. The RFP’s purpose was to seek a qualified company for the MBS system integration and implementation. 2.5 The scope of the project, along with the RFP specifications, were provided by the Information and Technology (IT) Division of the Corporate Services Department in consultation with the Working Group. 2.6 RFP2019-4 was issued by the Purchasing Services Division and advertised electronically on the Municipality’s website. Notification of the availability of the document was also posted on the Ontario Public Buyer’s Association website. Twenty-three companies downloaded the bid document. 2.7 The RFP closed on July 10, 2019. Six proposals were received. One proposal was deemed non-compliant due to not meeting all the mandatory requirements noted within the RFP. Compliant proposals were distributed to the evaluation committee for their review and scoring. 2.8 Technical Proposals were first evaluated and scored independently by the members of the evaluation committee in accordance with the established criteria as outlined in the RFP. The evaluation committee was comprised of staff from the IT Division, Clerk’s Department, Emergency and Fire Services, Engineering Services, Finance, Operations, Planning Services, and the Purchasing Services Division. 2.9 The evaluation committee met to review and agree upon the overall scores for each proposal. Some of the areas on which submissions were evaluated were as follows: 2.10 Upon completion of the evaluation, the evaluation committee concluded that the following two proponents met the pre-established threshold of 80% for Phase 1 and moved on to the second phase:  Unisys  Vision 33 Page 169 Municipality of Clarington Page 6 Report COD-018-20 2.11 Both proponents, Unisys and Vision 33, were invited to present their proposed solutions to the Municipality. Both Proponents were deemed able to meet the Municipality’s requirements and their pricing envelopes were opened. 2.12 After reviewing and further consideration, it was deemed that the five -year pricing initially requested within the RFP did not provide sufficient information for the Municipality to make a recommendation. 2.13 After consulting with Legal, the recommendation was to cancel RFP 2019-4 and re-issue a revised RFP (RFP2019-4B) to the two proponents who were short-listed from RFP2019-4. RFP2019-4B allowed the Municipality to review the pricing over a ten-year period to ensure that the award was in the best interest of the Municipality and to get a more detailed breakdown of the associated costs over the 10-year period, thus enabling the Municipality to budget accordingly. 2.14 Submissions were received from the two invited proponents. Submissions were reviewed by the Purchasing Services Division and shared with the Working Group for further review and comment. 2.15 The Working Group agreed that Vision 33’s proposal had the lowest overall cost and met all the requirements of the RFP document. On the recommendation of the Working Group and IT Steering Committee, the Purchasing Services Division began negotiations with Vision 33. 2.16 Through a series of meetings with Vision 33, the Purchasing Services Division was able to successfully reduce the cost of the proposed solution by approximately 7.75% from the original submission received for RFP 2019-4B. 2.17 Once an award of contract is made, Vision 33 will work with the Municipality’s Working Group to review the required processes and to gather a stronger understanding of how information needs to flow between users. Once Vision 33 has gathered all the required information they will begin to develop and build the system for the Municipality. The gathering of information and the building of the system will be the first step. Throughout the process, they will be working with Municipal representatives to test the modules and the flow of information. Once everything has been confirmed to be working as required , the system will be implemented in stages by allowing groups of users to test it in the field prior to rolling out to all users. It is anticipated the development and implementation will take approximately 13-16 months in order to have the system up and running for all municipal users and the public. Page 170 Municipality of Clarington Page 7 Report COD-018-20 3. Comments 3.1 This comprehensive project was initiated through the IT Strategic Plan and through multi- year budgeting it is being brought forward in the 2020 Budget. As previously noted, the MBS addresses at least seven items from the IT Strategic plan. 3.2 The MBS also meets a key pillar outlined in Council’s Strategic Plan, 2019 to 2022, building “Engaged Communities”. This priority seeks to enhance two-way communication with the community. By having information readily accessible and implementing the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) the MBS is facilitating this Council priority. 3.3 The Emergency Management Plan includes Annex V which speaks to Municipal Business Continuity in the event of a pandemic or similar emergency. At a Pandemic Alert Phase 3, staff should be able to: develop greater use of electronic circulation of Planning Development Applications and documents from all other departments that would reduce the impact of face-to-face exchange of paper. Electronic circulation would be “germ-free”; and Test resources for work-from-home critical core services (Payroll, Accounts Receivable/Payable). At Pandemic Alert Phase 5 the Municipality is to initiate work-from-home where applicable. At Pandemic Alert Phase 6 (which we are now at), the Municipality is to implement video conferencing for public information, public meetings, staff meetings which we have done successfully. 3.4 Without an electronic file system for land use planning, the Municipality would not be able to maintain critical services for the community. The past few weeks have tested the limits for our existing digital systems. We are in many situations able to continue to provide services using work arounds, however, in many cases it is not efficient and certainly not how the Municipality wants to carry on business for an extended period of time. 3.5 This system would provide a fully integrated electronic process for land use planning applications that carries information through the whole process from the point of the initial application through pre-consultation to the processing of building permits and the eventual release of securities for the subdivision works and site plan. Examples of efficiencies that would be gained includes: a streamlined the filing system; elimination of duplication, reduced printing costs, increased storage space as duplicate files are no longer required, as well as provide better customer service for real estate agents, lawyers, developers, home builders, residents and municipal staff by allowing easier access to files associated to a property. Benefits of Proposed System 3.6 MBS will serve the entire Corporation by reducing the efforts required for managing documents and files, which is both a cost and service improvement. Page 171 Municipality of Clarington Page 8 Report COD-018-20 3.7 At a service level, it will increase the ability to improve and create departmental and interdepartmental built-in processes and maintain customer data/history linked between departments. 3.8 MBS as a Customer Relations Management (CRM) system will improve service levels to the public. 3.9 The system will allow Operations field staff to complete customized inspections for the purpose of maintaining specific areas, such as storm water management ponds, parks and playgrounds. With real time inspection data, we have an opportunity to improve maintenance turnaround time. 3.10 Building Inspections: All permit holders could electronically book inspection requests. Building Inspectors would receive their inspection lists electronically and would have all the relevant information for each inspection on their wireless devise . The use of paper to print their inspections list, previous permits inspection history and sign off sheets would be eliminated. The Inspectors would be entering their inspections directly into the system rather than recording them on paper and then having the clerical staff enter the results into LDO. 3.11 Electronic Land -use Applications and Review: Applicants could apply for and submit all the documentation required to obtain a building permit electronically at any time of the day. Traveling and printing costs would be eliminated for the applicant. Scanning costs incurred by the Municipality would be eliminated. During situations like COVID-19, it would eliminate in person contact, and facilitate working remotely. Documents would be shared electronically among staff in various departments, Planning Services, Engineering Services, and Emergency and Fire Services and commenting agencies, reducing review times and documenting results throughout workflows. Issued permits would be provided to applicant electronically eliminating travel and in person contact. Page 172 Municipality of Clarington Page 9 Report COD-018-20 Inspection and release of letters of credit, would not have to travel through multiple departments rather they would be uploaded, sent to the next approval step and releases cold be automatically generated. 3.12 Municipal Law Enforcement: Business License applicants could apply and submit required documents for a license electronically from any location, at any given time, and provide payment upon approval; thus reducing costs associated with scanning, printing and travel; providing an improved customer experience, especially for those who are not local and are participating in Special Events. Officers would always have access to their case files, in real-time; providing them with the information necessary to carry out their duties in the most efficient and effective manner and allowing them to update in real-time, thus eliminating time spent duplicating notes into the present system, and time and money spent on travel. Calls for service would be dispatched in real-time; enhancing response times. The mobile component allows any place to become the Officers’ ‘office’; reducing travel time and associated costs; increasing productivity. Notices and Orders would be able to be produced and issued in the field; increasing response times, decreasing travel time and time spent manually attaching documents to files. Automatic upload and attachment of documents to files reduces the potential for human error and saves time. The ability of an Officer to view newly dispatched files and existing files with their corresponding due date in the field, eliminates the need for an Officer to manually run a query and print it out at the beginning of their shift. Enabling callers to track on-line status of their call. 3.13 Emergency and Fire Services: Fire inspection data can be stored with photos and other attachments in case files. Integrated form creation for inspection and enforcement documents reduces duplication of work. Integration of building and occupancy data ensures consistency; ensures changes of use are immediately recognized by all departments. Inspection and public education scheduling from central system. Page 173 Municipality of Clarington Page 10 Report COD-018-20 Improved activity and productivity reporting by tracking actual time spent on case files. Improved security and document management features means a reduction in the amount of paper being used as documents will not have to be printed and stored in physical files. 3.14 MBS will have the capacity to schedule maintenance and route plan work orders. These tools will provide staff with an opportunity to improve processes, which will therefore, improve maintenance turnaround time. 4. Financial 4.1 Funds were budgeted in 2019 and 2020 budget years for the replacement of the LDO system which is included as part of this project. It is recommended that the funds required in the amount of $5,083,986.59 (net HST Rebate) over the ten-year period be approved with the account distribution to be confirmed annually as part of the budget process. 4.2 The project is anticipated to have significant financial costs in the first two years of the implementation with lower annual operating costs in 2022 to 2029. 4.3 As the project was identified as being for the benefit of the Building Inspection Branch there is the ability to fund the costs from building permit fees. This has been done through the planned use of $1.0 million from the Building Inspection Reserve Fund and $250,000 per year from the building permit revenues. 4.4 The 2020 budget year costs have been budgeted with approximately $240,000 being left to fund the 2021 costs for the project. There remains a requirement, after the application of the building permit revenue, for approximately $548,400 in budget approv al funding for 2021. 4.5 The 2021 funding requirement should be made up of reserve fund contributions and tax levy. It is suggested that $275,000 could come from the Tax Rate Stabilization Reserve Fund and $250,000 from the Building Inspection Reserve Fund. The remaining $23,396 would be funded from the 2021 tax levy which starts an annual tax levy funding contribution going forward. 4.6 The annual budget year cost is broken out on Attachment #1.

Concurrence This report has been reviewed by all Department Heads who concur with the recommendations and the Director of Finance has signed off approval to the financial components of this report. 6. Conclusion 6.1 The MBS software acquisition is an opportunity to enhance the customer experience and provide demonstrable gains in efficiency and effectiveness. Improving the development approval process has been identified as a key action and goal outlined in our corporate IT strategy. This system should be considered high priority investment opportunity. 6.2 It is recommended that Vision 33, being the Proponent meeting our minimum passing threshold and having the lowest price, be awarded the contract for the development and implementation of the proposed MBS in accordance to the terms, conditions and specifications of RFP2019-4B. 6.3 Acquiring and implementing a new data management system is transformational and reflective of best practices and moves Clarington forward to better serve our clients .

Report To: General Government Committee Date of Meeting: May 11, 2020 Report Number: FND-011-20 Submitted By: Trevor Pinn, Director of Finance/Treasurer Reviewed By: Andrew C. Allison, CAO By-law Number: File Number: Resolution#: Report Subject: Financial Update as at December 31, 2019 Recommendation: 1. That Report FND-011-20 be received for information. Page 177 Municipality of Clarington Page 2 Report FND-011-20 1. Background 1.1 The financial update has been designed to focus on the overall budget variances. Additional financial information is provided to show trends relating to the general economy. 2. Fourth Quarter of 2019 Operating Budget to Actual Variances 2.1 Attachment 1, Summary of Operating Expenditures and Revenues, compares the Municipality’s budget to actuals as of December 31, 2019. This variance reporting reflects the Municipality’s operating budget only. It excludes financial activit ies for library, museum, BIAs and consolidated hall/arena boards. Year to date expendit ures as of December 31, 2019 total $85,522,334 which represents 102.7% of the 2019 budget. Revenues totalled $88,230,187 which is 105.9% of the 2019 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 December 31, 2019. It is important to note that the figures presented in the report do not represent final year -end figures. Year-end accruals and adjustments are still being processed to ensure revenue and expenses are charged to the appropriate fiscal period in order to prepare the Municipal Financial Statements. The external audit of the 2019 year will be completed at the end of June. Furthermore, the 2019 and 2018 figures in the variance reporting do not include all consolidated municipal service board activities nor non -cash activities such as capital asset amortization and unfunded post -employment. This report cannot be used in isolation and does not show the final position of the Municipality in either year. 2.3 Monthly trial balances are sent to each department for regular review and budget oversight. In 2019, the variance report has been expanded to show the variances at the sub-department level. Revenues and expenditures that have a variance either above or below budget that are noteworthy are discussed in this report. Report Overview The purpose of this report is to update Council on the overall budget variances as of December 31, 2019 as well as other financial indicators such as taxes receivable, investments, debt and development charges collected. Also included is a summary of Council’s discretionary expenses for information only. The Council expenses is not the annual reporting of Council remunerations as required under the Municipal Act, the financial figures are not audited and are subject to change as the year -end work is completed. This report cannot be used to forecast the year-end financial position. Page 178 Municipality of Clarington Page 3 Report FND-011-20 2.4 Non-departmental revenues are higher than budgeted at 101.5%. Some of the higher than budgeted revenues are in supplementary taxes, aggregate royalties and penalties, and general fund investment income. These are important sources of revenue to the Municipality. Going forward, the lower interest rates due to the Bank of Canada lowering the bank rate to support the economy will affect the 2020 revenues. 2.5 The Councillors’ office expenditures are higher than budgeted due to severance pay of past Councillors as per By-law 2011-05 and the change in one third tax free portion of Council’s remuneration as per By-law 2018-103. The impact to the Mayor’s Office of the elimination of the one third tax free portion was offset by changes to the Mayor’s support staffing. 2.6 Corporate Services net expenditures are under budget at 92.6%. This is due to the WSIB NEER rebate the Municipality received as a result of the excellent rating on our WSIB account. The NEER rebate program is ending in 2019. Due to the process at WSIB, the Municipality may be eligible for one last NEER rebate to be received in 2020 based on our 2019 safety record. 2.7 Parking revenues are higher than budgeted by approximately $316,800. These revenues have a corresponding expense transfer to the Parking Lot Reserve Fund. This reserve fund is used to fund the parking enforcement activities. Revenues are higher than budgeted including cemetery plot sales, animal licenses and snow clearing fines. Contributing to the lower than budgeted expenditures are salaries in several sub - departments within the Clerks due to a series of vacancies and the delay in filling the positions. 2.8 Finance net expenditures are at 90.4%. This is due to higher than budgeted fines and penalties. Finance expenditures are lower than budgeted due to several staff vacancies that were not filled immediately. Tax write offs are higher than budgeted within the Unclassified expenditures. 2.9 Emergency Services net expenditures are higher than budgeted at 103.2%. Salary and wages were higher for Suppression and Part-time Firefighters. The firefighters received retroactive pay for 2018 and 2019 in November due to the contract being settled. Emergency Services has some staff on extended leave which results in an increase demand on the part-time firefighters. Revenues were higher as noted in previous reports due to unbudgeted portions of the OPG Memorandum of Understanding. In 2019, there was approximately $116,000 for MTO emergency call revenues. These additional funds from OPG and MTO are transferred to the Emergency Management Reserve Fund. The transfer amount is included in the Administrative expenditures as well. Page 179 Municipality of Clarington Page 4 Report FND-011-20 2.10 Engineering revenues are higher than budgeted at 158% or $2,537,072. While favourable, it is considerably less than the 2018 Engineering revenues of $4,136,632. Overall the Engineering expenditures are on target at 99% of the budgeted amount. 2.11 Operations net expenditures are at 101.2% of the 2019 budgeted amount. Higher Administration revenues and expenditure are in large part due to the costing structure of the fleet and the corresponding transfer to the Operation Equipment Reserve Fund. Streetlighting costs are lower than budgeted due to the conversion to LED streetlights. The savings from the LED streetlights are to be used to pay the internal loan for the retrofit project. The demand for salt, sand and brine in 2019 increased the expense by 55% in 2019 when compared to the expend iture in 2018. Lower expenditures in other areas have mitigated the impact on the budget. 2.12 Community Services revenues are on budget at 99.7%. The shortfall in some revenues is compensated in higher than budgeted revenues in other sub -departments. Similarly, on the expenditure side, savings in salaries, due to vacant positions offset higher costs in other areas. Higher expenditures within the Facilities sub -department include hydro at arenas as well as increased repair and maintenance costs. 2.13 Planning net expenditures are at 88.7%. The Development Review sub -department includes the Secondary Plan Reviews and the Sub-watershed studies. Set up as a cost recovery, the direct costs will be offset by the revenues. This work is still being done and there are timing differences on the cost recovery 2.14 As noted in previous 2019 financial update reports, the Board and Agencies have a higher expenditure due to a transfer of Library Capital Reserves which includes some funds from previous years. Municipal Property Taxes 2.15 Attachment 2, Continuity of Taxes Receivable as of December 31, 2019, provides the status of the taxes billed and collected by the Municipality during the fourth quarter. At the end of December 2019, a total of $9,383,327 remains unpaid which equals 5.01% of the taxes levied in 2019. In December 2018 there were taxes receivable of $8,665,231 which resulted in 4.81% of taxes levied in 2018. Although the net balance is $718,096, or 8.85% higher than the previous year, the ratio is only 0.2% higher. The following table outlines the taxes receivable ratio for 2019 and the three previous years: 2016 2017 2018 2019 Taxes Receivable $7,650,679 $8,427,275 $8,665,231 $9,383,327 Taxes Levied $66,049,171 $172,913,203 $179,993,948 $187,277,840 Taxes Receivable Ratio 4.61% 4.87% 4.81% 5.01% Page 180 Municipality of Clarington Page 5 Report FND-011-20 Debentures 2.16 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 were $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. Municipal Development Charges 2.17 Attachment 4 shows the residential and non-residential development charges collected as of December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, residential municipal development charges collected in 2019 were $2,840,164. In the 2015 Development Charges Background Study, it was forecasted that the Municipality would be collecting approximately 805 in total for 2019 or about 604 units at the end of the third quarter. Development charges have been collected for 215 units. At the end of December 2019 there was a 76.8% decrease in development charges collected and a 71.8% decrease in the number of units compared to December 2018. The development charges were significantly lower in 2019 when compared to prior years. 2.18 As of December 31, 2019, there has been $533,634 in non-residential development charges collected. Non-residential development charges are based on the building floor area rather than a total building unit cost. There are fluctuations quarter to quarter as well as year to year in non-residential development charges. 2.19 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 have been no new incentives given in 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. Note that incentives are required to be covered by the Municipality’s tax base. Council Expenses 2.20 Attachment 5, Council Expenses as of December 31, 2019, summarizes Council expenses at the end of the year. Only discretionary expenses such as event tickets, conferences, educations courses and external kilometer reimbursement are included in this report. As of December 31, 2019, at total of $11,243.98 in discretionary expenses have been paid to Council. Salary, tax free allowance, OMERS equivalent, severance pay and travel allowance as per By-law 2011-005 are not included in the totals.

Report To: General Government Committee Date of Meeting: May 11, 2020 Report Number: FND-012-20 Submitted By: Trevor Pinn, Director of Finance/Treasurer Reviewed By: Andrew C. Allison, CAO By-law Number: File Number: Resolution#: Report Subject: 2019 Annual Statement for Cash-in-Lieu of Parkland Recommendation: 1. That Report FND-012-20 be received for information. Page 193 Municipality of Clarington Page 2 Report FND-012-20 1. Background 1.1 In accordance with Section 37 (Increased Density) and Section 42 (Cash-in-Lieu of Parkland) of the Planning Act, the Treasurer must provide a financial statement including opening and closing balances to Council relating to cash-in-lieu of parkland monies and increased density funding. This statement must be made available to the public. 2. Section 42 (Conveyance of land for park purposes) 2.1 Under Section 42 of the Planning Act, a municipality may require, as a condition of development, that land be conveyed to the municipality for park or other public recreational purposes. In certain circumstances, Council may require a payment in lieu of land dedication, to the value of the land otherwise required to be conveyed. 2.2 These funds must be held in a special account (Reserve Fund), allocated interest and spent only for the acquisition of land to be used for park or other recreational purposes , including the erection, improvement or repair of buildings and the acquisition of machinery, particular to park purposes. 2.3 Attachment #1 details the Statement of the Treasurer, in compliance with the Act. 3. Section 37 (Increased Density) 3.1 Clarington does not currently have a program set up for Section 37; therefore, an annual statement is not required. The Official Plan has a section on “community benefits” (Section 37) but Clarington does not have a market that would make this provision useful at this time. The Official Plan provision is in place to allow Clarington to consider this opportunity in the future. As a result, there is no Statement of the Treasurer required. 4. Concurrence Not Applicable. Report Overview This report complies with amendments to the Planning Act, 1990 which became effective in 2016. The Smart Growth for Our Communities Act, 2015 requires reporting on Section 37 (Increased Density) and Section 42 (Conveyance of land for park purposes). This report discloses the annual activity in the Parkland Cash -in-Lieu Reserve Fund for 2019. There is nothing to report for increased density funds, at this time.

Report To: General Government Committee Date of Meeting: May 11, 2020 Report Number: FND-013-20 Submitted By: Trevor Pinn, Director of Finance/Treasurer Reviewed By: Andrew C. Allison, CAO Resolution#: File Number: By-law Number: Report Subject: 2019 Building Permit Fees Annual Report Recommendation: 1. That Report FND-013-20 be received for information. Page 197 Municipality of Clarington Page 2 Report FND-013-20 1. Background 1.1. Under the Building Code Act, 1992 and the passing of subsequent amendments and Ontario Regulation 350/06, municipalities are required to prepare an annual report that records the amount of building permit fees collected and the costs incurred during the process. 1.2. In accordance with the Building Code Act, as amended, staff have prepared this report to Council with the required content on an informational basis and Attachment “A” will be posted on the Municipality’s website. 1.3. A Building Permit Fee Update Study was completed in September 2017 by Hemson Consulting Ltd. This was an update to the 2011 study also completed by Hemson. The reviews are completed every five (5) years to ensure that the building permit fees are in line with the cost of building inspections and th at all appropriate direct and indirect costs are being allocated. 1.4. In 2019, the new residential building permits issued decreased from the prior year providing a total building permit revenue of $2,794,711 (2018 - $3,242,224) creating a deficit of $78,697 (2018 – surplus of $991,603) after reducing the total revenue by the direct and indirect expenses as outlined on Attachment 1. 1.5. As the building permit funds are to be segregated from the general funds of the Municipality, the deficit of $78,697 was transferred from the Building Division Reserve Fund leaving the surplus/deficit for December 31, 2019 as nil. At December 31, 2019 the reserve fund had approximately $2.7 million. These funds are restricted to building inspection related uses. 1.6. For the 2019 year, the Engineering Department advised Council through the annual building permit activity report (EGD-004-19) that the building permits issued in 2019 were drastically lower than 2018. 1.7. The total number of all types of building permits issued in 201 9 was 687 compared to 1,350 in 2018 which translates into a 50.8% decrease in 2019. 1.8. The total number of new residential building permits issued in 201 9 was 535 compared to 1,139 in 2018 which translates into 53.0% decrease in 2019. Report Overview This report is prepared as required by the Building Code Act reporting requirements for Building Permit Fees. There is no current adjustment required to the building fees beyond the normal increase approved through By-law 2017-086. Page 198 Municipality of Clarington Page 3 Report FND-013-20 1.9. The below graph illustrates the number of permits for all types and new residential for the last 10 years. The 2011 figure is unusually higher than 2010 to 2014 due to the effect of the building code change effective January 1, 2012. 2. Concurrence This report has been reviewed by the Acting Director of Engineer who concurs with the recommendations. 3. Conclusion It is respectfully recommended that Council receive this report.
