Board of Management Meeting Minutes
Tuesday October 13, 2020; 6:30pm
Virtual Meeting due to COVID-19 pandemic
Present: Edgar Lucas, Chair
Laura Holmes, Secretary
Gerri Lucas, Treasurer
Justin Barry
Cathy Holmes
Ron Hooper (departed at 6:55pm)
Erin Kemp
Absent: Carrie Hooper
Delegations Present: Laura Knox – Clarington Tourism
The meeting was called to order by the Chair.
1. Presentation by Delegations
Laura Knox is the Tourism Coordinator for Clarington. The Visitor Centre is closed to the public
and staff is working remotely and/or out of Rickard. Tourism is now transitioned under
Community Services. Visitor Centre is temporarily being utilized by Durham Region Health for
flu vaccine clinics.
TAIO and FedDev funding was focused on agri-tourism for the fall season, particularly promotion
of farm markets. There has been great engagement with the campaign and trails and fish ladder
are packed with visitors. Orchards are seeing record attendance. Leading into the holiday
season, the funding and promotion will be focused on shopping locally, particularly in the
downtowns of Clarington that have many small family-run businesses.
Tourism is looking for ideas for a roll-out on a holiday shopping local campaign and has been
working with CBOT on development of ideas. Timeline is for release after Remembrance Day for
week of November 16. Looking at marketing in a variety of ways – advertising via print, radio,
social, possibly direct mail with Canada Post. Last year there was a holiday hometown
promotion. Tourism is speaking with all three BIAs to develop ideas on how to promote the
downtowns. Care will be taken to ensure that the promotion of shopping/spending money is
considerate of those who are experiencing financial difficulties.
Tourism would like to collect information from businesses about how they will be operating
during the holiday season, if there are any special offerings/promotions, and any charitable
components. Information will be used for highlights in the campaign. Tourism will develop an
online link for submission that can be circulated to BIA businesses by email.
Tourism is willing to partner with the BIA to promote any BIA initiatives such as giveaways,
events, etc. The BIA is asked to give some consideration to how they would like to promote
holiday shopping downtown and to submit ideas by the end of the month.
Page 7
Historic Downtown Bowmanville 2 October 2020
Business Centre (BIA)
Ms. Knox thanks the Board for their time and is looking forward to helping promote local
business this holiday season. Departs at 6:55pm.
The floor is opened for discussion of ideas.
E. Kemp suggests a virtual shopping event. Could take place over several days. Businesses could
be asked to submit a promotion to be featured on the BIA social media. Customers would then
view the promotion and visit the store to purchase.
E. Kemp suggests instead of hosting an evening shopping event (ie. girls night, moonlight magic)
to expand the shopping event to include several days. This way the crowds would better
dispersed.
The Chair suggests asking the businesses to decorate the exterior of their stores. Concerns are
raised over the lack of hydro availability.
The Board is asked to continue brainstorming ideas to promote local shopping.
2. Adoption of Minutes
Moved by G. Lucas, seconded by J. Barry
THAT the minutes of the meeting of September 15, 2020 be approved as circulated.
CARRIED
3. Business Arising from Previous Minutes
(a) Updates from Task Force Meetings with Mayor Foster
The Chair announced that meetings have moved to once per month. Awaiting a scheduled
date for the combined BIA meeting.
(b) Parking in Downtown Bowmanville
Last meeting, the Chair requested support from the Board on the following measures: a)
elimination of bagging parking meters for December b) elimination of two-hour free parking
c) increase of hourly parking rates. The Board expresses reluctance to support these
measures particularly in light of the unprecedented conditions related to the COVID-19
pandemic. The Board recognizes that issues arose with the December bagging of parking
meters during the 2019 pilot project, particularly that of business owners and employees
parking all day. However, given the current financial difficulties experienced by many
businesses and families, eliminating the barrier of parking fees for shopping downtown
would be advised for this year. Pausing enforcement, without bagging meters, may be a
way to deter all-day parking.
Moved by J. Barry, seconded by G. Lucas
Page 8
Historic Downtown Bowmanville 3 October 2020
Business Centre (BIA)
THAT due to special circumstances related to COVID-19 a letter of request be sent to Council
asking that parking enforcement be paused for the month of December 2020 only, without
formal bagging of parking meters.
CARRIED
4. Correspondence
Correspondence was received from
i. Sarah Allin, Planning Dept MOC, regarding COVID CIP updates (via email)
ii. Cassy MacDonald, Clerks Dept MOC, notifying of JC-120-20 regarding remote
participation in meetings (via email)
iii. Anne Greentree, Municipal Clerk MOC, regarding status of staff parking report (via
email)
iv. Kasey Schewaga, Finance Dept MOC, providing audited financial statements and
adjusted journal entries (via email)
v. Laura Preston, Legislative Services MOC, requesting comments on draft staff report on
December free parking and providing unofficial parking revenues (via email)
Moved by G. Lucas, seconded by C. Holmes
THAT the correspondence be received for information.
CARRIED
5. Treasurer’s Report
The Treasurer presented the following:
i. $128 319.42 in current account
ii. 2019 audit is complete. No action is required.
Moved by E. Kemp, seconded by J. Barry
THAT the Treasurer’s Report be adopted as presented.
CARRIED
6. Directors’ Reports
(a) Council Liaison – R. Hooper:
Not present
(b) Events – C. Holmes:
Reported that this coming Saturday would have been the 31st Applefest. With the
restrictions changing frequently and community concerns it is difficult to plan for any future
events including those in 2021. The Moonlight Magic tree-lighting and Christmas Market is
Page 9
Historic Downtown Bowmanville 4 October 2020
Business Centre (BIA)
cancelled this year, but suggests that the tree be decorated and lit anyway. Whether Girls’
Night Out scheduled for November 12 can occur will depend on the restrictions in place at
the time. There was some discussion on whether a virtual visit with Santa, or a facebook
live with Santa could be planned. There was also discussion whether socially distanced
photos were a possibility.
(c) Membership Relations – J. Barry:
Reported that there is a tattoo shop moving into the former Turquoise location. The Bees
Knees announced that the shop will be closing at the end of November. There is a new BBQ
restaurant on Division St. Boho Beauty Microblading and Spa has moved from Temperance
St to Division St. The Toasted Walnut is preparing to move locations.
(d) Streetscape – G. Lucas:
The Chair reported that the watering is finished for the season and the summer hanging
baskets will be removed soon. The flower vendor expressed to the Chair about
disappointment over the state of the baskets, particularly related to watering and fertilizing.
There was some discussion whether a tender should be sought for a new water vendor, but
the Chair asked that the discussion be deferred until a conversation could occur with the
current vendor. The Chair reported that despite numerous requests, Rekkers Garden Centre
has not yet provided a quote for winter hanging baskets and that he has been informed that
this quote is handled by the retail division, not the wholesale division that handles the
summer flowers. The Chair reported that quotes will be sought from Van Belle’s and The
Willow Branch for winter hanging baskets. To date, no discussions have occurred related to
the large winter planters for the downtown. Remembrance Day banners from the Legion
have been installed on main street and will be removed following Remembrance Day.
(e) Communications - vacant:
L. Holmes reported that information continues to be distributed to the members by email.
(f) Website – L. Holmes:
Reported that updates on event cancellations and removal of vendor application forms is
complete. Website redevelopment needs to be a priority and suggests that the BIA needs to
hire a project manager to accomplish this. The BIA is responsible for providing a template
for the look, feel, and functionality of the new website, in addition to providing all of the
required data to the web developers. This will be a significant undertaking and no one has
stepped forward to volunteer for this task. Collection of business information for the
directory will be very time consuming and labor intensive and will involve direct contact
with each business owner. Experience with the downtownsofdurham.ca project, Clarington
Tourism directory, and CBOT directory show that less than one third of our BIA business
owners will submit information when asked to do so by email or with an online link. The
project manager could set up a focus group of local business owners for ideas, and/or send a
survey around to determine key ideas. The Chair asks to defer the discussion to a later
meeting. Concerns are raised that redevelopment was budgeted for in 2020 and deferral
Page 10
Historic Downtown Bowmanville 5 October 2020
Business Centre (BIA)
will further delay and push redevelopment efforts in the 2021 budget year. The Treasurer is
asked to examine the finances related to hiring a project manager.
(g) Media Relations – C. Hooper:
No Report.
7. New Business
(a) Holiday Shooting Star Decorations
The Chair has been unsuccessful so far at finding a solution for raising the height of brackets
on the decorations. The company was contacted about the problem, and they were unable
to provide a solution. The Chair will consult with a welder to see if an attachment can be
added to the star to raise the height.
There was some discussion whether the BIA should investigate selling the stars and ordering
a new winter decoration that would be less prone to damage by trucks and buses. The Chair
requests more time to find a solution and will report back to the Board next meeting.
(b) Proposal for Additional Holiday Decorations
C. Holmes proposed that the BIA divert event funds to make the downtown core look
attractive using lights and garlands, since traditional Christmas tree-lighting event cannot
move forward this year. There was some discussion about the lamp post GFIs not being able
to handle an extra power draw on main street, so solar or battery options should be
explored.
Moved by J. Barry, seconded by L. Holmes
THAT the Chair will contact Classic Displays about solar and/or battery powered garlands.
CARRIED
(c) Proposal for 4x8 signs
L. Holmes proposed that the sign posts that usually promote the festivals be used to
promote shopping downtown for the holiday season. This would see a removal of the
Thank You signs that were installed during the COVID shutdown and replaced with signs
promoting and thanking customers for shopping downtown this Christmas.
Moved by C. Holmes, seconded by J. Barry
THAT design proofs from James Printing be obtained for review and selection vote next
meeting.
CARRIED
(d) Proposal for shopping local giveaway
Page 11
Historic Downtown Bowmanville 6 October 2020
Business Centre (BIA)
L. Holmes proposed that the BIA continue to support local business by giving away vouchers
for shopping local. The contests on social media over the summer months were very
successful with over 400 entrants on Instagram each time. A 12 Days of Giveaways
promotion was suggested, where the BIA could purchase gift certificates from downtown
businesses to ensure that funds are distributed to various businesses. The giveaway would
run through social media and Clarington Tourism could be asked to promote. There was
some discussion whether businesses should be asked to contribute a portion of the gift
certificate, as a partnership may encourage more promotion of the giveaway by individual
businesses. The Chair asked that the discussion continue next meeting.
(e) Date of Next Meeting
The next meeting of the Board of Management is scheduled to be held on Tuesday November
10, 2020 commencing at 6:30pm in Clarington Meeting Room 1-C, unless COVID-19 restrictions
are still in place, in which case the meeting will be held virtually.
(f) Adjournment
Moved by G. Lucas, seconded by J. Barry
THAT the meeting adjourn.
CARRIED
The meeting adjourned at 8:44pm

Virtual – Special Meeting
Present: Edgar Lucas, Chair

Cathy Holmes
Carrie Hooper
Ron Hooper
Erin Kemp
Absent: n/a
Councillor Hooper requested this special meeting of the Board to focus on time-sensitive decisions
related to the upcoming holiday season.
The meeting was called to order by the Chair.
1. Business
(a) Remembrance Day
L. Holmes proposed that ‘Lest We Forget’ posters be distributed to businesses to place in
front windows since poppy campaign donation boxes will not be distributed due to COVID.
Two design options were presented. It was recommended that the BIA donate to the poppy
fund.
Moved by G. Lucas, seconded by J. Barry
THAT design option 1 be selected for posters to be delivered to each downtown business
THAT a donation of $500 be made to the Canadian Legion poppy fund
CARRIED
(b) Girls’ Night Out
Concerns have been raised by some business owners about promotion of an event that
could draw crowds. There is also anecdotal evidence that some businesses have had line
ups recently and an event could worsen this. With Durham Region on the watch list for
returning to a modified stage 2 restriction it may be ill-advised to plan for an event that
could be cancelled anyway.
E. Kemp previously proposed a virtual event but upon further consideration believes that
this would be logistically difficult.
Girls’ Night Out is officially cancelled for 2020.
Page 13
Historic Downtown Bowmanville 2 Oct 2020 Special
Business Centre (BIA)
(c) Standard Holiday/Winter Decisions
Moved by L. Holmes, seconded by E. Kemp
THAT the following items be arranged, as per previous years; installation of lights and
ornaments on tree at BMO, installation of winter banners, order of large winter planters for
intersection corners, ringing of bells at St. Johns Church, booking of carollers
CARRIED
(d) Shooting Star Light Pole Decorations
The Chair states that the height needs to be adjusted by 2 feet to avoid collision with
trucks/buses. Adding length to the star would cause instability. The bracket cannot be
raised owing to shape of the light pole. The Chair was able to tap the bracket sideways on
the pole in front of Abernethy’s Paint so that the star would be on an angle but not extend
too far into the roadway. This star will be a trial to determine if this is a suitable solution. If
acceptable, the brackets will need to be re-installed on an angle.
The Chair will report back.
(e) 4x8 Signs Design Selection
Two design options were presented. There was discussion to keep branding consistent with
event signage that the website should be displayed.
Moved by J. Barry, seconded by C. Hooper
THAT option 2 be selected with the addition of the website at the bottom
THAT the five signs be installed after Remembrance Day
CARRIED
(f) Hanging Winter Baskets
Quotes were presented by Van Belle’s and The Willow Branch. Rekkers Gardens declined.
Van Belle’s has supplied baskets in past years. There is a strong sentiment among some
board members that supporting a local BIA member business whenever possible should
occur. There were some concerns raised about the ambiguity of the pricing and the unclear
ability to acquire supplies in the quote presented by The Willow Branch. A suggestion was
made that both vendors be asked to provide a sample for review.
Councillor Hooper requested that the Chair and the Treasurer abstain from the vote, owing
to conflict of interest related to business arrangements with The Willow Branch
Moved by J. Barry, seconded by E. Kemp
THAT the contract be awarded to The Willow Branch on the condition they can meet a
delivery timeline of November 12 at a maximum price of $55 per basket
Page 14
Historic Downtown Bowmanville 3 Oct 2020 Special
Business Centre (BIA)
THAT the baskets be installed following Remembrance Day
CARRIED
(g) 12 Days of Giveaways
Informal feedback was received from select business and all asked were supportive of the
idea of partnering on the gift card giveaway. Having engaged business partners will help
with promotion of the giveaway. Asking the business to provide an in-kind donation will
allow the BIA to redirect some funds to charitable organizations.
Moved by C. Holmes, seconded by J. Barry
THAT all businesses in the BIA be offered the option to participate in this giveaway, where
the BIA will fund 75% of the purchase of a $100 gift card from the participating business and
the business will provide the remaining 25% as an in-kind donation, up to maximum of 60
gift cards with no more than one per business
THAT the BIA will match the business in-kind donation as a donation to local charity or
charities (benefactors to be determined)
THAT the 12 Days of Giveaways will be a contest run on Facebook and Instagram from
December 1-12
THAT the contest be advertised by the BIA, participating businesses, and Clarington Tourism
and may include posters, newspaper, and radio, in addition to social media promotion
CARRIED
(h) Charitable Partnerships
Typically the BIA is able to provide support to local charities through monetary donations
from Santa photos and offering food and toy drives at Moonlight Magic. Consideration
should be given to how the BIA could partner or support these organizations this year.
(i) Alternatives to Santa Photos
Traditional Santa photos are not possible this year, so an alternative should be sought.
There was some discussion on whether a photographer should be hired or whether photos
should be self-serve this year. Consideration should be given to ensure social distancing.
Several options for displays were presented including benches, and large lighted décor
items. Concerns were raised about sanitization of benches, and value for price for several
of the items. Commissioning a holiday display was suggested. Another suggestion was
made to have a backdrop either painted or printed. These options would allow families to
take their own photos. There was also discussion about placement of the photo
scene/backdrop and whether BMO would give permission for this on their property.
The Chair asked that more information be collected and presented at the next meeting.
(j) Décor for Downtown
With the cancellation of the tree-lighting ceremony there is a desire to put extra effort into
decorating the downtown to create a drive-thru attraction. Several options for lighted
displays including 24” LED snowflakes and large archways were reviewed. Options for lit
Page 15
Historic Downtown Bowmanville 4 Oct 2020 Special
Business Centre (BIA)
and unlit garlands were presented. Hiring a company to install lights on trees on King St
was suggested.
Moved by G. Lucas, seconded by J. Barry
THAT one sample 25’ silver garland be ordered and be installed as a trial on the light pole in
front of SCRUB’n and feedback collected
THAT quotes for lighting install and more information/options be presented at the next
meeting as these are time-sensitive decisions
CARRIED
(k) Clarington Tourism’s Holiday Shop Local Campaign
Moved by E. Kemp, seconded by C. Holmes
THAT Tourism be asked to promote the 12 Days of Giveaways as part of their campaign
CARRIED
(l) Video Conferencing Account
All free and trial offers have been exhausted so purchase of a plan is required to allow
meetings to proceed without time limitations.
Moved by G. Lucas, seconded by J. Barry
THAT the Secretary will purchase a video conferencing plan prior to the next meeting

3. Administrative Matters
A) Discussion on Durham Region’s Long-Term Waste Management Plan
(2021 to 2040)
A. Porteous, Supervisor, Waste Services, provided a summary of the
progress of the Long-Term Waste Management Plan (LTWMP) to
date and next steps.
A. Porteous advised that consultation has been ongoing throughout
2020. She advised that beginning in April, Works staff reached out to
Regional departments, local area municipalities, various advisory
committees, and the public for input. She also advised that public
consultation was made available through an online survey that began
in August and closed on November 8, 2020 and that staff received
just under 2100 responses. She further advised that a virtual Town
Hall meeting was held on November 5, 2020.
A. Porteous stated that next steps will be to review all of the
comments received over the numerous consultation points. Staff will
take that information and review the draft vision and objectives of the
LTWMP, and a draft framework will be presented to the Works
Committee and Regional Council for approval with a target date of
early 2021. Following Committee and Council approval, the next step
will be to draft the waste plan, as well as a 5-year action plan
throughout 2021. She advised that once the draft documents are
complete, consultation will begin again (mid 2021), and staff will re-
visit items based on what input is received from the various
consultation points. She further advised that final approval of the plan
is targeted for early 2022.
G. Anello advised that every 5 years Works staff will re-visit the action
plan, revise it if necessary, and provide a new 5-year action plan. He
pointed out that the vision, goals, guiding principles, objectives,
targets and action plans of the LTWMP are all complementary of
each other; one does not stand by itself.
In response to a question, A. Porteous advised the Committee that
the following themes have been identified during the review of the
comments:
Overall good support
Reduce and reuse are strong themes in the plan
Multi-residential buildings and making sure there are good
programs and waste diversion services for those in multi-
residential buildings
Page 23
Energy from Waste – Waste Management Advisory Committee Minutes
November 18, 2020 Page 3 of 5
Increased/continued education and promotion as well as
enforcement
S ingle use plastics and making sure we are in line with the
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs
Detailed discussion ensued regarding the importance of highlighting
reduction and reuse within the four guiding principles of the LTWMP.
Concerns were raised that a lifecycle analysis has not been
completed and that toxic reduction should be investigated and stated
clearly in the guiding principles. The Committee discussed the
importance of revising the guiding principles as they would be
fundamental to the direction of the LTWMP.
G. Anello advised that the Committee’s comments and suggestions
would be included in the record of consultation with an explanation as
to why something was included or excluded. He also advised that
reduce and reuse is a major objective within the promotion and
education (P&E) project, with $600,000 being dedicated to P&E. He
also noted that the reduction of food waste is another major objective.
G. Anello advised that staff were guided by the overarching guiding
principles of the Region’s strategic plan initially and that after the
Special EFW-WMAC meeting on July 15, 2020 where concerns were
raised regarding the LTWMP’s guiding principles, staff added a
question to the online survey with respect to the guiding principles.
Discussion ensued regarding the need to increase enforcement,
reduce the number of overall garbage bags allowed per household,
as well as the use of clear plastic bags to minimize the impact on the
system itself. Emphasis was made that reducing the amount of waste
to be managed is extremely important and in doing so, will protect
and improve the air and water quality.
Discussion also ensued regarding the single use plastics piece
missing from the LTWMP and G. Anello reminded the Committee that
Report #2020-INFO-79: Update on Single Use Plastics Policies in the
Regional Municipality of Durham was circulated to Regional Council
in August 2020.
With respect to Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), G. Anello
advised that the Province has extended the blue box materials to
include many of the single-use plastics. He advised that the biggest
challenge with banning the use of some single-use plastics would be
around the authority that rests with each level of government.
In response to a question regarding the lack of specific information on
the LTWMP available, G. Anello clarified that once an outline for the
Page 24
Energy from Waste – Waste Management Advisory Committee Minutes
November 18, 2020 Page 4 of 5
LTWMP is established it will be presented to the Works Committee
and Regional Council for approval. Once that approval is received
staff can begin populating the outline with more details and specifics.
He advised that staff are now reviewing the online survey results and
how those comments might modify the vision, guiding principles, and
objectives of the LTWMP. Concerns were raised that the LTWMP
development was approved by Regional Council in January 2019 and
decisions were made without the proper consultation.
Detailed discussion ensued regarding the applicability of measuring
toxicity load; and whether the Region has the authority to measure
and enforce toxicity, if other levels of government are involved.
Moved by W. Bracken, Seconded by K. Meydam,
That the Energy from Waste – Waste Management Advisory
Committee recommends to the Works Committee for
approval:
That the Long-Term Waste Management Plan (LTWMP) guiding
principles be amended as follows:
A) That an additional guiding principle be added as the first
principle that states that the priority of the plan is to improve
reduction and reuse; and
B) That a sixth guiding principle be added to set as a priority the
reduction of toxic load on the environment.
CARRIED
Concerns were raised regarding the LTWMP’s mission statement and
its heavy emphasis on maximizing diversion of waste and developing
ways to use waste as a resource.
Moved by W. Bracken, Seconded by K. Meydam,
That the Energy from Waste – Waste Management Advisory
Committee recommend to the Works Committee for
approval:
That the following list of suggested actions be forwarded to
Works staff during the consideration of the Long-Term
Waste Management Plan (LTWMP):
C lear bag policy
S ingle use plastics
I ncreased enforcement
I ncreased education (including a list of pros and cons
for every kind of waste management decision)
Page 25
Energy from Waste – Waste Management Advisory Committee Minutes
November 18, 2020 Page 5 of 5
Providing details on cost
B enefits of mulching
S etting reduction targets and making those widely
known to the public.
CARRIED
Clarification was given regarding the order of steps that need to occur
for the development of the LTWMP. G. Anello advised that increasing
enforcement as stated in the above motion would be an action that
would need to be associated with a certain objective. He advised that
there will be targets associated with the 5-year action plans and how
the Region would meet those targets.
In response to a question regarding putting together examples of how
to meet the LTWMP objectives, G. Anello advised that once the
outline is approved by Regional Council, staff can begin drafting the
LTWMP, and further to that, the 5-year action plans. He advised that
the action plans are developed first and would then be used to inform
the budget.
4. Next Meeting
The next regularly scheduled meeting of the EFW-WMAC will be held
on Tuesday, November 24, 2020 in Council Chambers, at 7:00 PM,
Regional Headquarters, 605 Rossland Road East, Whitby.
5. Adjournment
Moved by T. Farrell, Seconded by K. Meydam,
That the meeting be adjourned.
CARRIED

The above was a change in mid-term, with the term ending December 31, 2020. It
would be appropriate for the General Government Committee to pass a similar
resolution to appoint Department Liaisons for a period of one year (ending December
31, 2021) or two years (ending November 14, 2022, when the new Council takes office).
This is also a reminder that, in accordance with Resolution #JC-058-18, the Deputy
Mayor appointment will now alternate from the Regional Councillor for Wards 3 and 4,
to the Regional Councillor for Wards 1 and 2. Therefore, Councillor Neal will be the
Deputy Mayor from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021.

Hello, and thank you all for your service to the community through very challenging times.
Our commitment to build a residential hospice in Clarington has not wavered, and we would
like to bring you up to date on our progress. Accordingly, we will be attending the Nov 30
General Government Committee as a delegation.
Attached to this message is a letter to Councillors, outlining some of the issues we are facing
and how we might think about mitigating some of these challenges, in concert with you.
We have also recently become aware that there is a public meeting related to development
charges taking place on Nov 30, and we will be exploring how to participate in that discussion.
Thank you so much for your ongoing support; we would not be approaching our ’shovel-in-
the-ground’ moment without you.
Lindsey, I was unable to find individual e-mail addresses for each Councillor; would you mind
forwarding this to each of them? Thanks

Attn: Mayor Adrian Foster and Members of Clarington Council
Dear Mayor Foster & Members of Council:
As a non-profit Board, our volunteer Board of Directors are very excited about bringing a 9 bed residential hospice to
Clarington. We are at 84% of construction costs raised to date with an additional Phase 2 fundraising required of
1.75M. We are not unlike other individuals, businesses, groups and organizations who have been impacted by
COVID-19. Our fundraising efforts have slowed significantly.
Durham Hospice Clarington (DHC) would request your assistance on a number of fronts:
(1) waiving the security deposit in the amount of $111,000.00 which DHC would have to additionally fundraise which
would be returned to us at a later date
(2) waiving of the local Development Charges of $111,368.93
(3) barring any consideration of waiving of the local Development Charges, that DHC be given the same
consideration as Parkview Lodge in Newcastle, that being, "Council enter into a development charges deferral
agreement in which local development charges will be paid to the Municipality in 21 equal installments over 20 years
at no interest. "
If you have any questions, we would be most pleased to hear from you before we provide an update to the General
Government Committee on Monday, November 30th. As always, we very much appreciate the interest and support
provided by Council and staff.
Yours truly

Dear Mr. Mayor Adrian Foster,
It was a pleasure to seeing and talking to you after the Remembrance Day ceremonies as it has
been just over one year since we last spoke.
As I mentioned I would like to respectfully request for submitting a motion to you for the City of
Bowmanville to have all the crosswalks that lead to City Hall have decorated with red poppies
painted between the white lines.
This would be the City's initiative to ensure remembrance of Remembrance Day and will be the
City's salute to the past and present veterans.
Please find attached photos 1 to 3 of the poppies on the crosswalks in the City of Swift Current as
examples to show your team.
Due to this year's COVID-19 crisis that brought on the isolation doldrums / depression and the
blues feeling it could also be a good idea / good initiative to paint some other crosswalks to spruce
up / enhance the community with additional decorated cross-walks as you can see in photos 4 to
6, or let your City Street painter use her / his creative imagination to design a couple of festive
seasonal art drawings to choose from.
I would like to thank you again for listening to me and for considering this initiative. I have my
fingers crossed that this request will be accepted by your counsel and approval is given to
decorate the crosswalks with the poppies.
Should the poppies be painted on the crosswalks I will look forward to hearing of the official date
to walk across.
I would like to accompany you to be the first to walk across the crosswalk as I would like to
represent the present veterans to salute the past veterans beside you, thank you.
Have a pleasant day and stay safe.
Sincerely yours, .

from Sommerville Dr. to where millpond starts, just off of main street. When I go to deliver my
newspapers for my paper route, there is no sidewalk along the dangerous part of my route or
when I ride my bike with friends it is incredibly dangerous. On behalf of 143 Orono Residents I
am presenting you with this petition to get a new sidewalk from Sommerville to the beginning

Report Subject: Outdoor Sports Field Management Policy Overview
Recommendations:
1. That Report CSD-013-20 be received for information.
Page 47
Municipality of Clarington Page 2
Report CSD-013-20
1. Background
Transition of Outdoor Permits
1.1 Prior to August 2020 all outdoor sport field allocation and scheduling was the
responsibility of the Operations Department. While under the leadership of the
Operations Department, it was identified that several key issues needed to be
addressed in order to make the ongoing allocation of sports fields, especially as it
related to baseball, more efficient and sustainable. The current challenges related to
allocation of sports fields will only compound with a growing population and the potential
growth of these sports and the increased demand for fields.
1.2 At the time, the Manager of Operations and the Manager of Client Services met to lay
out some of the efficiencies from a permitting, rates and fees and process perspective
that could help to support the necessary changes that were required.
Report Overview
The Community Services Department is providing an information report to Council to advise
of the development of an operational policy for the effective allocation and permitting of
outdoor sport fields. Through a collaborative approach, Community Services along with
Public Works will formalize operating procedures that will clearly identify roles and
responsibilities of each department. This work will identify areas for improvement related to
the administration and operations of Clarington’s outdoor sport fields.
In August, as recommended in the Grant Thornton Organization Structure Review, the
responsibility for the allocation and permitting of sport fields formally transferred to
Community Services and specifically to the Client Services team, while the responsibility for
field maintenance and upkeep remained with Public Works.
Staff have identified the main issues that need to be addressed through this process review
and are committed to implementing changes in order to make the management of outdoor
sports fields more customer focussed and address outstanding challenges that the groups
within Clarington face with field space.
A Project Charter has been established (Attachment 1) for Council’s information. Staff within
the two departments will continue the work identified to achieve the milestones set out in the
charter with the main goal of improving customer service and the delivery of outdoor fields to
Clarington residents and organizations.
Page 48
Municipality of Clarington Page 3
Report CSD-013-20
1.3 Through the recommendation in the Grant Thornton Report, it was recommended that
the permitting process be transferred from the new Public Works Department to the
Community Services Department. Specifically, this responsibility landed within the
Client Services Division, Customer Services Business Unit. The transition of this
responsibility was completed in August of 2020.
2. Proposal for Development of Outdoor and Sport Field Permit
Management Policy
Development of Project Charter
2.1 Based on previous conversations between staff, it has been determined that there are
several pieces to the management of all outdoor permits. In order to be successful, it
will require members of the Public Works Department, specifically Parks Operations and
Community Services, Client Services Unit to work cooperatively.
2.2 The first step to this collaboration was to identify the issues that needed to be identified.
The result of this collaboration was the development of the Outdoor Sports Field
Management Project Charter which includes other Outdoor Permits. The details are
contained in Attachment 1.
2.3 The main objectives of this project are focussed on improving the customer experience
and to ensure a fair and transparent field allocation process that will accommodate
future participant growth as well as the introduction of additional sport fields across the
Municipality. Staff will work to develop Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) for sports
field maintenance standards which would include a categorization of fields to delineate
level of play or appropriate use for sports fields and other outdoor permittable space.
Lastly, we intend to improve the cancellation process and communication between the
two departments and the sport organizations in the case of inclement weather and the
need for the cancellation of permits.
2.4 Staff will work collaboratively over the next year, with specifically laid out milestones to
develop a policy framework. This framework will rely on research and benchmarking,
community engagement with groups and individuals that use the services, leveraging
the Lean methodology to improve service delivery and service standards . At key
periods, staff will bring separate reports back to Council for consideration which will
support the development of the overall policy. The goal would be to bring the policy
back to Council for consideration prior to the holiday break in 2021.

Report CSD-013-20
Scope of Project Highlights
2.5 Rates and Fees Structure: The goal in this area would be to simplify the rates and fee
structure to work more efficiently within the Active Net System, used to complete the
permitting process. The goal would be to move to a more consistent pricing model and
structure to other Recreation, Sport and Leisure pricing structures. The goal would be
to minimize the impact on the customers and evaluate the impact to user fees. As the
approval of rates and fees is the responsibility of Council, any proposed changes to the
rate structure and specific rates will be brought before Council for approval.
2.6 KPI’s for Sports Field Maintenance: Review the current maintenance standards at all
outdoor spaces. Propose a new maintenance standard that will take into consideration
staffing, changes to the structure of permitting. The costs associated with this
standardization will be considered and will be blended and inform future rates and fees.
2.7 Categorization of Existing Fields: This will ensure that the correct type of play (based on
use and age group requirements, sport requirements) will be permitted on the correct
types of fields. This will tie into the evaluation of requirements for potential future
projects to add or eliminate additional sports fields.
2.8 Identification of Fields that do not Meet Standard of Play: This is key to be able to
complete capital forecasting for potential upgrades required based on demand for use.
2.9 Development of Allocation Policy: Like other areas, this will help to establish a priority
for staff when allocating and permitting space. This will allow organizations and staff to
be clear on the distribution of playing time, location and order to which that will be
completed.
2.10 Throughout the process, staff will plan engagement with our main user groups. This will
ensure that users are part of the decision making process and will fully understand why
changes are necessary. This program will also assist our outdoor sport organizations to
better plan in terms of expansion, setting of user fees and other operating challenges.
2.11 As with any project, there are items that are not included in the scope and are left to
specific staff responsible to complete outside of the project. This project will not include :
Public Works Capital budget submissions for the cost of fields to bring up to standard of
play, requirement of any staffing requirements to achieve the ideal maintenance
standards, or a future plan to ensure inventory of sports fields meets the required
demand.

recommendations.
4. Conclusion
4.1 The staff of both Community Services and Public Works are confident this program will
provide the outdoor sport field user community an improved level of service both on the
field and in the administration of field allocation and permitting. Through their
involvement in this process we expect these improvements will be well received by all.

Project Information
Project Purpose
Early in 2020, Council approved the Grant Thornton Report regarding Organizational
Restructuring. One of the recommendations in that report was to transition the function of
sports field permitting from Operations (transitioning into Public Works) Department, to the
Community Services Department, namely into the Customer Services Business Unit.
While under the leadership of Operations, it was identified that several key issues needed to
be addressed in order to make the ongoing allocation of sports fields, especially as it related
to baseball more efficient and sustainable. While this is a simple statement, accomplishing
this is more complicated as it has various supporting aspects to make it successful. These
include maintenance guidelines/standards, rating and categorizing of sports fields, rates and
fees and application of such, and an allocation process that guides how fields are distributed
amongst groups, especially as new space is constructed and available for use.
Using a collaborative Project Management approach (supporting Lean Principles) an Outdoor Sport
Field Management Policy will be developed touching on all required aspects of the operation in this
area.
Project Objectives
Overall objective is to develop a process for outdoor sports field management that is
transparent, fair and equitable to impacted groups, mitigates the revenue impact to
maintenance costs to the municipality, maximizes community use of sports fields and ensures
a methodology to include future infrastructure of fields as they come on line.
Develop a KPI for sports field maintenance standards (soccer, ball fields, football fields), with
the immediate focus being on baseball and softball diamonds
Develop a rating/categorization for baseball, soccer and football fields (et all) to inform
appropriate uses and allocation of appropriate purposes (ie practice, vs game, age category
based on size)
Develop standard process for inclement weather cancellations (time, by who, etc.) and
communication of cancellations of fields due to inclement weather
Develop an application policy as part of the Outdoor Sport Management Policy to guide future
allocation of sports fields. This includes prioritization, formula based on participants,
historical allocation, residency requirements, dealing with new requests, permits, etcetera

Report LGS-005-20
1. Background
1.1 This report is the culmination of multiple independent directions to staff in relation to the
transparent, fair, and consistent enforcement of municipal by-laws, and the proper
relationship between Council members and municipal law enforcement staff.
1.2 On, May 11, 2020, the General Government Committee requested a response from the
Municipal Integrity Commissioner to the following question : “can a Council Member who
believes that a by-law infraction has occurred report the alleged infraction to the
Municipal Law Enforcement Division?” The Integrity Commissioner’s response was
provided to Council on June 15, 2020.
1.3 In response to a request for further clarification, council passed Resolution #C-265-20,
which provided:
That Correspondence Item 9.1 be referred back to staff to enquire if Members
of Council are permitted to follow up with Municipal Law Enforcement staff on
whether a matter has been rectified, and if not why; and
That a policy detailing Council's role in enforcement be developed.
1.4 On September 14, 2020 Report CLD-013-20, Addressing Frivolous, Vexatious or
Malicious Enforcement complaints, was considered during the Joint Committee
Meeting. At the September 21, 2020 Council meeting, Council passed Resolution # C-
386-20, which provided:
That Report CLD-013-20 be received; and
That Staff be directed to report back on developing a By-law that is similar to St.
Catharines' regarding frivolous, vexatious or malicious enforcement complaints.
Report Overview
This report is provided in response to the Council direction to prepare a Municipal Law
Enforcement Policy which is similar to the City of St. Catharines regarding frivolous and
vexatious requests. The draft policy also clearly establishes the role of Council in
enforcement activities, in response to an earlier request from Council for further clarification
from the Municipal Integrity Commissioner.

Legislative History:
Notes:
1. Purpose:
To establish a transparent, consistent, fair, unbiased, and effective process for
enforcement and prosecution of relevant laws.
2. Definitions:
“Council” means the Council of the Municipality of Clarington;
“Officer” means a person appointed by the Municipality to enforce or prosecute a
Relevant Law;

3. Roles
Reporting Infractions
3.1. Any person who has reason to believe that an infraction of a Relevant Law has
occurred, may report the matter to the Municipal Law Enforcement Division.
3.2. A person who reports an infraction may be summonsed to testify before a court
or tribunal in the prosecution of an alleged contravention of a rel evant law.
Council
3.3. Council Members will respect and abide by the legally recognized principle that
Officers have a duty to enforce and prosecute Relevant Laws in a manner that is
fair and impartial and in a manner that is independent of political direction .
3.4. Council Members will respect that Officers have an independent discretion to
make enforcement decisions based on their knowledge, experience, and
educated judgement.
3.5. Council Members will acknowledge that the independence of an Officer
includes, for example, the discretion to investigate (or not) and to issue a ticket
(or not).
Page 70
Attachment 1 to Report LGS-005-20
3.6. Council Members will not interfere with an Officer in the exercise of their duties
or attempt to influence the actions of an Officer except in the circumstances
specifically provided in this policy.
3.7. Consistent with the provisions of the Code of conduct for Members of Council,
no member shall use or attempt to further his or her authority or influence by
intimidating, threatening, coercing, commanding or influencing improperly any
staff member of interfering with that staff person’s duties, including the duty to
disclose improper activity.
3.8. As with any other person, a Council Member who has reason to believe that an
infraction of a Relevant Law has occurred may report the matter to the Municipal
Law Enforcement Division.
3.9. Upon submitting a report, a Council Member shall be treated with the same
courtesy, and with the same restrictions on access to information, as would any
other complainant.
3.10. In reporting an infraction, a Council Member shall simply communicate the facts
and not express an opinion about how a Relevant Law should be enforced.
Thereafter, in order to avoid influencing or interfering with municipal law
enforcement, the Council Member shall not communicate with an Officer about
how the matter should be handled.
3.11. It is only legitimate for a Council Member to communicate with an Officer about
a law enforcement matter if the Council Member does not seek to influence the
discretion of the Officer in the performance of their duties.
3.12. A Council Member will not inquire with an Officer about the status of any
particular enforcement matter except to query whether a file has been opened or
closed, whether an inspection has occurred, or whether a ticket has been
issued. In the case of a matter that has been fully resolved, a Council Member
is also permitted to inquire as to the outcome. In making such inquiries, Council
Members will refrain from stating or insinuating an opinion about any action
taken, or decision made, by the Officer with respect to the matter.
3.13. It is also consistent with the objectives of this policy for a Council Member to
inquire with the Director of Legislative Services or the Manager of Municipal Law
Enforcement about general concerns that do not relate to a specific enforcement
decision, or about standard operating procedures, processes, or practices of the
Municipal Law Enforcement Division.
3.14. Reports from a Council Member must be based on direct (first-hand) knowledge.
3.15. Council Members will refrain from relying on second-hand information as the
basis of their complaint. If information about the alleged infraction originates
from a third party, the Council Member should explain how to contact the
Page 71
Attachment 1 to Report LGS-005-20
Municipal Law Enforcement Division so that the third party may, if desired, make
the report directly.
3.16. Council Members shall refrain from forwarding third party communications or
complaints to an Officer for a response.
3.17. In referring a third party to the Municipal Law Enforcement Division, a Council
Member will only provide contact information and information about the reporting
process and will neither encourage nor discourage the third party from taking
action. Reporting a matter must be an independent decision.
3.18. A Council Member will refrain from the exercise of any official function that could
impact the outcome of any complaint or investigation.
3.19. With respect to enforcement of Relevant Laws, Council may,
a) From time to time establish, amend or repeal Municipal by-laws;
b) Establish the budget for and policies related to the enforcement of
Municipal by-laws; or
c) At meetings of Council or one of its Standing Committees, ask general
questions of, and receive information from, the Director on general
questions relating to the enforcement activities of the Municipality.
Staff
3.20. In consultation with a supervisor, it is the responsibility of an Officer to,
a) receive complaints regarding alleged contraventions of relevant laws;
b) continuously communicate and coordinate call investigations to provide
the most efficient time management and customer service;
c) screen complaints to determine if the subject matter of the allegation(s)
falls within their jurisdiction;
d) undertake investigations by making one of the following
determinations:
i. there is insufficient evidence to proceed with enforcement in
response to the complaint;
ii. the subject matter of the complaint has been resolved though
compliance;
iii. the complaint is trivial, frivolous, vexatious or made in bad faith;
or
Page 72
Attachment 1 to Report LGS-005-20
iv. the matter the subject of the complaint requires enforcement
action.
e) For such matters for which a determination has been made pursuant to
clause d), cause to be undertaken enforcement by such means as may
result in compliance as efficiently and effectively as possible, including
as applicable, by
i. request;
ii. commencement of a proceeding pursuant to the Provincial
Offences Act; or
iii. commencement of remedial work by the Municipality.
4. Complaint Requirements
4.1. A complaint related to an infraction of a Relevant Law may be submitted to the
Municipal Law Enforcement Division via email, telephone, on-line form, or in
person. The following information must be provided by the complainant:
a) name;
b) address;
c) contact number; and
d) details regarding the issue (e.g. address/area, timing, alleged violation)
4.2. Inaction will result if there is failure to provide this necessary information, unless
there is an apprehension of a significant risk to health or safety of the public, in
which case the matter will be dispatched with an emergency priority.
4.3. Notwithstanding the above requirements, a complaint about property standards
shall be submitted in writing (including email, or online complaint form). Where
a person is unable to submit in writing, they shall be offered the option to attend
the Municipal Law Enforcement Office where a staff member can assist them in
documenting their concerns.
5. Prioritizing Calls
5.1. Investigations will be distributed by the Manager of Municipal Law Enforcement,
or their delegate, to Officers based on their assigned patrol areas and by priority.
5.2. The priority ratings of files in descending order are:
a) Emergency – matter of public safety; immediate threat such as uncovered
well, hazardous broken tree limbs, or aggressive animal at large (i.e. not
confined nor restrained);
Page 73
Attachment 1 to Report LGS-005-20
b) High - time sensitive; a pressing necessity to act such as a vehicle
blocking driveway, active site alterations, boulevards and fill operations,
injured animal/wildlife, dog bites, or confined animal;
c) Low – long-term issue which is just now being reported such as long
grass, weeds, public nuisance, parked more than 3 hours, or failure to
retrieve pet waste;
d) Routine – matter is a known re-occurring issue affecting multiple residents
such as 3-5 a.m. parking, snow removal, school zone enforcement, or dog
off leash patrols; and
e) Information Only – e.g. wildlife sighting.
5.3. Investigative response to all files shall be attended/completed in a timely
manner, within the established policies and procedures. The following shall be a
guideline to assist in initiating investigations to calls as prioritized:
a) Emergency priority calls will be attended at the earliest opportunity by
the most available Officer. The most available Officer may be
determined by response time, ability to attend based on active field
investigations, and will be assisted by the Officer assigned to the area
at the earliest opportunity;
b) Investigations of High prioritized calls will be initiated by the Officer
within 12 business hours after being assigned; and
c) Investigations of Low and Routine prioritized calls shall be initiated by
the Officer based on existing call load.
5.4. In addition to the above, several factors shall be taken into account when
determining appropriate timelines for an initial response and complete
processing of any complaints up to, and including, voluntary or court ordered
compliance. It is acknowledged that an officer’s ability to process any complaint
efficiently and effectively is greatly impacted by issues and factors beyond their
individual control. Some examples of factors that could impede an enforcement
response include:
a) threats to public safety (which always take priority over other
complaints);
b) Council requests;
c) court preparation and appearance;
d) ticket review session attendance;
e) special projects (e.g. taxi, mobile signs);
Page 74
Attachment 1 to Report LGS-005-20
f) administration and revisions of current by-laws (e.g. research and
drafting of new by-laws);
g) Municipal events (e.g. Canada Day, Ribfest, Food Truck Frenzy,
Municipal Elections);
h) scheduled review and administration of license and permit applications
(e.g. mobile signs, taxi drivers);
i) responding to calls for actions from other departments and agencies;
j) coordination with contractors for completion of work orders on private
property;
k) holidays and vacation;
l) illness;
m) staff vacancies;
n) inclement weather; or
o) Provincial Order.
6. Investigations
6.1. All investigations shall follow the appropriate Policies and Procedures with due
diligence with the objective of fairness and consistent application of Relevant
Laws.
6.2. Once assigned a file, an Officer shall undertake an investigation to better
understand the situation. All investigations shall be initiated based on the priority
system identified in this policy, and in accordance with any other applicable
policies and procedures.
6.3. For by-law matters which have a high frustration level or emotional component
for complainants (e.g. noise, dog incident), the Officer shall contact the
complainant to acknowledge the complaint and discuss the matter before
initiating any action.
6.4. If requested, an Officer shall maintain contact with a complainant to keep them
apprised of the investigation as it progresses and of the outcome.
7. Frivolous, Vexatious or Malicious Complaints
7.1. For the purposes of this policy, f rivolous or vexatious refers to any action made
with the intention to embarrass or annoy the recipient or that is part of a pattern
of conduct that amounts to an abuse of the infraction reporting process.
Page 75
Attachment 1 to Report LGS-005-20
7.2. In the assessment of whether a pattern of conduct has been established in
relation to the above, the factors to be considered include but are not limited to:
a) whether the complaint concerns an issue which staff have already
investigated and determined to be groundless, or an issue which is
substantially similar to an issue which staff have already investigated and
determined to be groundless (e.g. with respect to the same neighbour or
same property);
b) whether the complainant engages in any unreasonable conduct or
aggravating behaviour, including, but not limited to:
i. harassment, verbal abuse or intimidation;
ii. making excessive or multiple lines of enquiry regarding the same
issue (e.g. pursuing a complaint with staff in multiple departments
and/or elected officials simultaneously) while their complaint is in
the process of being investigated;
iii. repetitious and unreasonable criticism of an investigation or
outcome;
iv. repetitious and unreasonable denial that an adequate response has
been given;
v. unreasonable refusal to acknowledge that an issue falls outside the
Municipal jurisdiction;
vi. unreasonable demands (e.g. insisting on responses to complaints
and enquiries within an unreasonable timeframe);
vii. statements or representations that the complainant knows or ought
to know are incorrect, or influencing others to make such
statements;
viii. demanding special treatment from staff (e.g. ignoring established
complaint protocols);
ix. shifting basis of the complaint and/or denial of previous statements
made;
x. refusal to cooperate with the investigation process while still
wanting their complaint to be resolved; or
xi. failure to clearly identify the precise issues of the complaint, despite
reasonable efforts of staff to assist.
7.3. If an Officer concludes that a complaint is frivolous, vexatious, or malicious, the
Officer shall provide to the Manager of Municipal Law Enforcement any
Page 76
Attachment 1 to Report LGS-005-20
documents or other materials in support of their conclusion, together with any
relevant details, including but not limited to the number of interactions with the
complainant, the amount of time invested, the repetitiousness of interactions,
and presence of any of the above-mentioned factors, and the Manager shall
make a final determination. In making a final determination, the Manager may
contact the complainant to discuss the background information.
7.4. If the Manager of Municipal Law Enforcement determines that a complaint is
frivolous, vexatious, or malicious, the Manager may issue a warning letter to the
complainant which may include the imposition of limitation concerning future
interactions with staff (e.g. restricting interaction with a single point of contact
with the Municipality, instructing staff to not respond to further written
correspondence, or ensuring no staff member is left alone in the presence of the
complainant).
7.5. If the Officer, in consultation with the Manager, determines that a complaint is
frivolous, vexatious, or malicious in nature, the file shall be closed, the reasons
for the decision documented, and the complainant shall be advised of the status.
No further action will be taken on the file.
7.6. Notwithstanding a determination that a complaint is frivolous, vexatious or
malicious, a file may be re-opened in the future where there is sufficient reason
to do so, or the situation has changed.
8. Communication about a Particular Enforcement Matter
8.1. A complainant shall be notified at the first opportunity, that their complaint has
been received, together with the name of the Officer who will be investigating
the matter, and the Occurrence Tracking System File Number.
8.2. Where the complaint is received through a channel other than in person or over
the phone, prior to assigning the complaint to an Officer, and where deemed
necessary, a staff member will contact the complainant within one business day
of receipt to clarify the information that has been previously provided.
8.3. Staff will ensure that complainants are provided the information required to
adequately understand the role of the Officer, and the extent of their ability to
assist them with their concern. General information may be provided to assist
them in finding a solution, including information on our website or re-directing to
another Department or agency.
8.4. An Officer shall not disclose any confidential information including personal
information gained in the performance of their duties except as required for
prosecution purposes or otherwise as legally authorized.
8.5. Every Officer shall report to the Manager of Law Enforcement, who will in turn
report to the Director of Legislative Services, any attempt at improper influence
Page 77
Attachment 1 to Report LGS-005-20
or interference, financial, political or otherwise, respecting the Officer’s
performance of his or her duties.
8.6. Each Officer who is contacted by a member of Council with respect to an
outstanding complaint or investigation matter, other than a complaint made by or
against the Council member, or in which the Council member is a witness, shall
immediately report such contact to the Manager of Law Enforcement who will in
turn report it to the Director of Legislative Services.
8.7. The Director may report to Council with the particulars of any reports received
from an Officer pursuant to Section 8.5 and 8.6.
8.8. No action shall be taken against an Officer or the Director, as the case may be,
for reporting in good faith pursuant to sections 8.5, 8.6, or 8.7.
9. General
9.1. Enforcement related records shall be managed through the Occurrence
Tracking System Database. Access to this system is limited to those staff

MEMORANDUM
To: Council
Municipality of Clarington
From: Guy W. Giorno
Integrity Commissioner
Date: October 15, 2020
Re: Council Members and Follow-Up Communication with Bylaw Enforcement
This memorandum is written further to my June 8 report, “Council Members and Alleged By-
law Infractions.” It specifically addresses the question of whether, and how, a Council Member
should follow up about a property standards concern that the Member believes has not been
addressed. More generally, it addresses the appropriate role of Council in the by-law
enforcement process.
Summary and recommendations
I support the staff’s initiative to develop a transparent policy or procedure on by-law
enforcement. I have reviewed and provided comment the section of the draft policy dealing with
“Council Interactions with Enforcement Officers,” and find that it is consistent with my previous
recommendations. However, as discussed below, it is also open to Clarington to address
additional issues in a policy on by-law enforcement, and I have offered comments to the
Municipal Clerk and the Director of Legislative Services on other sections of the draft.
Any involvement of Council in by-law must be exercised by Council as a whole, not individual
Members. I confirm my previous advice that individual Members should not involve themselves
in specific enforcement matters. Non-involvement means, among other things, that a Member
should not be copied on communication about an enforcement matter.
Despite the general principle of non-involvement, my view remains that an individual Member
has the same right as a member of the public to complain personally about an alleged by-law
infraction. The Member who does this, acts in an individual capacity and must be treated the
same as any other complainant. The Member who files a by-law complaint must refrain from the
exercise of any official function that could affect the complaint and investigation.
Page 79
309844.00001/108812705.3 2
Independence of municipal by-law enforcement officers
The observations I made about independent by-law enforcement are not mine alone. The legal
principle that enforcement decisions must not be subject to political involvement or interference
has been adopted and confirmed in a number of places, including the City of Oshawa.
The Preamble to Oshawa’s Enforcement By-law recognizes that:
Council considers it appropriate to ensure the proper administration of justice, to
respect the roles of Council members, complainants, staff investigators and
prosecutors in the administration, enforcement and prosecution of alleged
contraventions of municipal bylaws and other applicable provincial legislation, and to
ensure that such investigations and prosecutions occur in a fair and unbiased way,
free from any improper influence or interference.1 [emphasis added]
The Oshawa by-law obliges a municipal law enforcement officer to report immediately any
contact from a Council Member related to a complaint or investigation, except in the case of a
complaint made by or against the Council Member or an investigation in which the Member is a
witness.2 The report of Council Member contact must be made to the by-law officer’s director,
who then must inform the City Solicitor, who, in turn, may inform City Council.3
The principle of independent by-law enforcement has been incorporated into the policy
statements of several other municipalities. For example, the Town of Mono and the Town of
Shelburne have confirmed, as policy, that, “Council … shall not be involved individually in day
to-day by-law enforcement decisions.”4
Meanwhile, the policy of the Town of Amherstburg is that, “Municipal Council is not involved
in any way with the sanctioning of an investigation or making a decision on who shall be
investigated.”5
In the Township of Wainfleet, Council has approved the following rule:
Once an investigation is underway: no Complainant, Member of Council, Staff or
other person shall attempt to influence, obstruct or hinder any investigation, or
provide direction on who shall or shall not be investigated – other than through their
rights in the filing of a Complaint.6

The connection between enforcement officers’ discretion and their independence from Council
Members was explained in this manner in a staff report to Toronto City Council:
Once officers determine the permitted tools, they use their discretion to determine
the tool that will achieve compliance most effectively. Officers consider the
seriousness of the violation, the impact of the violation on public safety, the likelihood
of the person to repeat the violation, and the impact of the enforcement activity on
business and community in Toronto. The decision to take enforcement action must
be free from bias and political interference. The tool used should be proportional to
the harm caused by the violation.7 [emphasis added]
This specific issue was considered at great length by the British Columbia Ombudsperson, whose
observations (in a 2016 special report) represent the most detailed review of the independence
principle in a Canadian context:
… council establishes overall priorities for enforcement, enacts bylaws, and adopts
bylaw enforcement policies and standards of conduct for bylaw enforcement staff.
Council may also provide direction on types of bylaw enforcement issues. For
example, council may direct its enforcement staff to prioritize enforcement of certain
bylaws, or to issue warnings rather than tickets for specific categories of violations.
Within this framework, everyday enforcement decisions are delegated to staff.
Defining and maintaining separation between council and front-line enforcement staff
is essential to an administratively fair bylaw enforcement system. It is important for
council members to be aware of how their own actions can affect the fairness of an
enforcement process. This means that while council sets policy and provides general
direction on enforcement priorities, its individual members should not become directly
involved in enforcement action by directing enforcement against specific residents,
groups or businesses, or by directing that enforcement action not occur in a
particular circumstance. Rather, individual enforcement decisions should be made by
delegated bylaw enforcement staff or contractors.
It can be difficult for council members to remain a step removed from the day-to-day
enforcement process when they are a main point of contact for members of the
public who have complaints or who have been the subject of enforcement. It is
understandable that council members want to be responsive to the concerns of those
who elected them. In such situations, it is certainly appropriate for a member of
council to seek assurance that bylaw enforcement staff have fairly responded to a
person’s concerns.
However, even if motivated by good intentions, council members should not
advocate either publicly or privately for a particular result in a specific case. Doing so
can create the appearance of bias, particularly if council later hears an appeal on the
same matter after bylaw enforcement action is taken. Moreover, any action by a
council member that is motivated by favouritism or personal animosity toward an
individual may be perceived as an improper use of discretion. Each member of
council should strive to remain uninvolved in a specific bylaw enforcement decision
unless and until the matter is put on the agenda for the entire council to consider.8

A policy on by-law enforcement
Many municipalities, in Ontario and across Canada, have adopted policies on by-law
enforcement. Here in Clarington, the staff has been engaged in development of a policy or
procedure on law enforcement, and will present it to Council. In my view, this is a welcome
initiative.
Among other aspects of the policy under development, the Municipal Clerk specifically asked
me to review the section, “Council Interactions with Enforcement Officers.” In my view, this
draft section is consistent with my previous recommendations, and consistent with the Canadian
principle of the independence of law enforcement from political interference. I provided to the a
few comments on that draft section. I also made comments on the rest of the draft
policy/procedure.
Council should note that Members’ involvement in the process is just one of many topics that
could be covered in a policy on by-law enforcement. For example, some of the issues addressed
by the enforcement policies of other municipalities include the following:
Complaint intake process
Confidentiality/privacy
Priority of response / hierarchy of alleged contraventions
Identification of “hotspots” for priority enforcement
Investigation process
Communication with complainants
Record keeping
Enforcement options
“Spite complaints” / Frivolous and vexatious complaints
This is an incomplete list.
As elaborated below, my recommendations on by-law enforcement include: (a) treating
individual Council Members who complain exactly the same as residents who complain, and
(b) defining the role of Council as a whole. A formal enforcement policy would assist in meeting
these objectives.
The role of individual Members
I confirm my previous advice that individual Members should not involve themselves in specific
enforcement matters. In an official capacity, a Member should not attempt to influence who
does or does not get investigated or ticketed.
At the same time, an individual who, in a personal capacity, witnesses an alleged contravention,
might also happen to be a Council Member. Getting elected to office does not deprive an
individual of the benefit of law enforcement. Despite the general principle of non-involvement,
my view is that an individual Member has the same right as a member of the public to complain
personally about an alleged by-law infraction.
Page 82
309844.00001/108812705.3 5
When this occurs, the complaining Member acts in an individual capacity and must be treated the
same as any other complainant. For example, this means that the individual (who also happens to
be a Member) must complain in the same manner as anyone else, and must receive the same
level of disclosure as anyone else.
The policies of several municipalities require that anyone, including a Council Member, who
wishes to complain about a by-law contravention must file a formal written complaint.
Municipalities that expressly require Council Members to follow the same intake process as
members of the general public include: Amherstburg, Edwardsburgh Cardinal, Greater Napanee,
Penetanguishene, and Wainfleet.
I recommend the same here. A Council Member who wishes to complain about an alleged
contravention should do so in a personal capacity and be subject to the same process as anyone
else.
It must be stressed that making a complaint is a personal act, not something that one does in the
capacity of elected official. Only if the Council Member possesses direct knowledge of an
alleged contravention, and wishes to trigger the enforcement process, should the Member make a
complaint. If the goal of an elected official be merely to assist constituents, then the way to do
so is to make them aware of the enforcement process, including how to file a complaint.
If a Council Member complains about an alleged contravention, then the Member should not
participate in any Council or committee consideration of the matter. The Member who files a by-
law complaint must refrain from the exercise of any official function that could affect the
complaint and investigation. (Withdrawal from Council decision making is also required if a
Member happens to be the subject of a complaint or investigation, such as one involving alleged
non-compliance with a property standard on the Member’s property.)
Communication about a particular enforcement matter
If a Council Member has made a complaint to municipal law enforcement, then the Member is
entitled to no more (and no less) disclosure than any other resident who complains.
Confidentiality and disclosure are topics addressed in many municipal by-law enforcement
policies. Among other reasons, some municipalities find it desirable to be transparent about how
much information will be provided to someone who submits a by-law enforcement complaint.
The appropriate amount of disclosure to a complainant is beyond the scope of this memo. I note,
however, that some municipalities only give the complainant (a) acknowledgement of receipt of
the complaint, and (b) an eventual statement of the fact that action or no action has been, or will
be, taken, or the fact that the investigation and enforcement action have been completed. My
understanding is that Clarington’s current practice is similar.
Regardless of how much disclosure Clarington provides to complainants, a Council Member
who has submitted a complaint should receive the same amount of disclosure as anyone else.
Page 83
309844.00001/108812705.3 6
Many municipal policies also protect the confidentiality of complainants and their complaints.9
(This is subject, of course, to the possible need to disclose information as part of the legal
process.) A Council Member should receive no greater access to complaint and complainant
information than the access of anyone else. Some municipalities make explicitly clear that the
complainant’s name and personal information shall not be disclosed to any Council Member, the
news media, or any municipal employee who does not need to know.
In hindsight, in this respect, my previous guidance should have been more clear. When I
previously addressed the question of Council Member access to information about by-law
enforcement, I should have pointed to the importance of an overall policy framework that
addresses, among other topics, confidentiality during the complaint and investigation process.
Specific questions about Members’ access to information must be considered in the context of
confidentiality generally, on the basis of the enforcement policy that Council will be asked to
consider.
Absent that larger context, I can only respond conceptually to some of the specific questions that
have been raised about communication, including this one: If a Member has relayed to
Municipal Law Enforcement facts that the Member believes violate the property standard by-
law, and the facts remain unchanged one year later, may the Member follow-up with Municipal
Law Enforcement?
If the Council Member is the complainant, then the Member should receive the same amount of
disclosure that any other complainant would receive in the same circumstance (disclosure that is,
ideally, spelled out in Clarington’s formal statement of policy on enforcement). Since in theory a
member of the public may request information on the status of the individual’s complaint, a
Member should also be allowed to ask the status of the Member’s own complaint. The ability to
ask, does not, however, mean entitlement to an answer, beyond what any other complainant in
the same circumstance would be told.
If the Member is not the complainant, then presumably the complainant is a constituent or a
member of the public who approached the Member. Such complainant should receive the same
amount of disclosure as any other complainant. Aside from the very real concern that Member
involvement could interfere with independence of the investigation, it would also be a problem if
different complainants were to receive different amounts of disclosure based on their degrees of
access to elected officials.
In all cases, a request for a status update must be confined to that request. At no time should the
Member express an opinion on how Municipal Bylaw Enforcement should conduct or conclude
an investigation into a complaint. For example, in a prior case, communicating the opinion that a
9 See, for example, Township of Scugog, By-Law Enforcement Policy (effective March 30, 2009), at 2: “The
Investigator assures the complainant that their name and any personal information provided by them will remain
in the strictest of confidence, in accordance with the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of
Privacy Act and will not be revealed to anyone unless so ordered by a Court or other tribunal or body of
competent jurisdiction.”
Page 84
309844.00001/108812705.3 7
certain situation should not be allowed was considered an attempt to influence or interfere with
the law enforcement staff contrary to Section 8.3(c) of the Code.10
The role of Council (as a whole)
Restrictions on the involvement of individual Members are not meant to apply to Council, which
is the ultimate authority of the municipality in law making, policy making, services
determination, and financial stewardship.
Council makes, amends, and repeals the by-laws that officers enforce. It can also, through policy,
address general matters related to by-law enforcement, including, but not limited to:
principles/processes for communication with complainants and property owners; principles to be
taken into account in the exercise of discretion; and required internal consultation and approval
before escalation. I understand that the draft policy/procedure being developed by staff, for
consideration by Council, will address most of those topics.
As mentioned above, Clarington’s new policy should also – as proposed in the “Council
Interactions with Enforcement Officers” section that I reviewed – define the roles of Council
Members and the staff, and protect the independence of the administration of law enforcement.
Political interference in the administration of law enforcement is never acceptable. Operational
direction should never be given in a particular case. However, within the scope of that principle,
some municipalities formally provide for certain by-law enforcement matters to be brought to the
attention of Council.
For example, some municipalities identify specific decisions with financial consequences of
which their councils must be informed.
Some municipal policies state generally that the staff may report a particular by-law enforcement
matter to Council. I agree that a municipal by-law enforcement policy should address the
circumstances in which reporting to Council would occur, but I recommend that both the
circumstances and the Council role be clearly and specifically described, and not be general or
vague, in order to avoid any possibility or perception of interference in the independence of by-
law enforcement.
(The Ombudsman of Ontario agrees that municipalities should adopt by-law enforcement
policies, and that the policies should address the circumstances of updates to Council. He has
also stressed the distinct roles of Council and staff, and the principle of the exercise of discretion
by the staff.11 He has not, to my knowledge, addressed which particular circumstances he feels
would justify or require reporting to Council.)
10 In Re Partner, 2018 ONMIC 16 at 61, the Respondent expressed the opinion that the reported facts violated
Clarington’s bylaws and expressed shock that the reported facts could be allowed.
11 Paul Dubé, Ombudsman of Ontario, “By-Law Surprise: Investigation into the reasonableness and transparency
of by-law enforcement and billing practices in the Township of St. Clair and the County of Lambton”
(April 2018), at 27-28.

309844.00001/108812705.3 8
Following the adoption of a Clarington policy on by-law enforcement that includes the specific
role (if any) of Council as a whole, Members should respect the policy and limit their
involvement accordingly.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

1. Background
1.1 The Municipal Act, 2001 authorizes a municipality, prior to the adoption of the estimates
for the year, to pass a by-law levying amounts on the assessment of property in the
local municipality for local municipal purposes.
1.2 Historically, the Municipality has passed an interim tax levy in December of the
preceding year to ensure that tax bills are processed in January of the taxation year.
1.3 Interim tax bills are divided into two installments: February 18, 2021 and April 22, 2021.
1.4 If Council were not to pass the interim tax levy, taxes could not be collected until the
final tax bills are processed in the spring. This delay could result in a cash flow issue for
the Municipality and would result in taxpayers having to pay their final tax bill in two
installments rather than the current four (or more if they use pre-authorized payments).
2. Concurrence
Not Applicable.
3. Conclusion
It is respectfully recommended that Council approve the 2021 Interim Tax By-law to
ensure that interim tax bills are processed consistent with past timelines and to ensure
that tax revenues can be collected throughout the whole 2021 taxation year.

WHEREAS the Council for the Municipality of Clarington deems it necessary to pass a
by-law to levy an Interim Rate for 2021 on the whole of the assessment for each property
class in the local municipality as provided for in Section 317 of the Municipal Act, 2001
as amended;
NOW THEREFORE THE COUNCIL OF THE CORPORATION OF THE
MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON ENACTS AS FOLLOWS:
1. THAT the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington is hereby
authorized to levy in 2021 on the whole of all taxable assessment on the property
according to the last revised assessment roll, a sum not to exceed that which
would be produced by applying the prescribed percentage (or 50 per cent if no
percentage is otherwise prescribed) of the total amounts billed to each property
for all purposes in the previous year on the properties that, in the current year, are
in the property class as provided for in Section 317 of the Municipal Act, 2001 as
amended.
2. THAT for the purposes of calculating the total taxes for the previous year under
paragraph 1, if any taxes were levied for only part of the previous year because
assessment was added to the roll during the year, an amount shall be added
equal to the additional taxes that would have been levied if the taxes had been
levied for the entire year.
3. THAT the interim tax levy rates shall also apply to any property added to the
assessment roll after this by-law is enacted;
4. THAT all taxes levied under the authority of this By-law shall be payable in
Canadian funds and shall be divided into two equal installments, the first of said
installments to become due and payable on or before the 18th day of February
2021 and the second of said installments to become due and payable on or

Section 4 of this by-law.
6. THAT as provided in Section 345 (2) of the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended if
the taxes or any installment levied in accordance with this by-law remain unpaid

1. Background
1.1 Annually, Council is requested to grant authority to the Mayor and Treasurer to borrow,
on a temporary basis, funds that may be required to meet current expenditures and
liabilities of the Municipality prior to the receipt of the Municipality’s property taxes and
other revenues. These borrowings may be in the form of external or internal sou rces,
including interfund transactions.
1.2 The legal authority for these borrowings is pursuant to Section 407 of the Municipal Act,
2001 and allows municipalities to borrow amounts between January 1 and September
30 not to exceed 50 per cent of total estimated annual revenues and to borrow amounts
between October 1 and December 31 not to exceed 25 per cent of total estimated
annual revenues.
1.3 Consistent with prior years, the request for authority is $15,000,000. Under current
regulations the upper limit would be more than $25,000,000.

1. Background
Bill 108 - More Choice More Homes Act and Bill 138 Plan to Build Ontario Together Act
1.1 Bill 108, More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 received Royal Assent on June 6, 2019.
While it has received Royal Assent, the Act is not fully proclaimed and ena cted. The
Province of Ontario released two proposed regulations on June 21, 2019
December 2019 Regulations Coming into Force January 1, 2020
1.2 In late December 2019, certain sections of the More Choice More Homes Act (MCMH)
and the Plan to Build Ontario Together Act (PBOT) were proclaimed and came into
force on January 1, 2020 with no transition period.
1.3 Development Charges (DCs) for rental housing and institutional developments are to be
paid in six equal installments over five years with non-profit housing developments to
pay DCs in 21 installments over 20 years, both commencing the earlier of issuance of
the occupancy permit or the date of occupancy. Prior to January 1, 2020 there were no
mandatory deferrals for DCs.
1.4 Development charge rates for rental housing and institutional developments identified
above will be frozen at the date of site plan or zoning by-law amendment application for
those applications received on or after January 1, 2020. The rates will be frozen for two
years after approval of the site plan or zoning by-law amendment application. Prior to
January 1, 2020, the rates used were those in effect at the time of building permit
issuance.
1.5 The freezing of DC provisions also applies to commercial, industrial and residential
developments if they go through the site plan application or a zoning by-law amendment
application process.
1.6 The exemption of secondary units has been broadened to apply to units that are
detached from the existing unit but on the same property.
Report Overview
Effective January 1, 2020, several key legislative changes occurred to the collection of
development charges including mandatory deferral for certain development types and
freezing of rates between site plan / zoning bylaw amendment and building permit dates.
The Municipality is currently undergoing a review of the Development Charges By-law and
these regulatory changes will be incorporated, however a policy is required to set the
foundation for the way in which we want to handle deferrals as well as the freezing period.
Page 97
Municipality of Clarington Page 3
Report FND-047-20
1.7 Regulation 454/19 provided definitions for the amendments to the Development
Charges Act (DCA) as follows:
a. Rental housing development means development of a building or structure with four
or more dwelling units, all of which are intended for use as rented residential
premises
b. Institutional development includes long-term care and retirement homes,
universities, colleges, hospices, and a memorial home, clubhouse, or athletic
grounds by an Ontario branch of the Royal Canadian Legion
c. Non-profit housing development means development of a building or structure
intended for use as a residential premise by:
A non-profit housing co-operative in good standing under the Co-operative
Corporations Act;
A corporation without share capital to which the Corporations Act applies that is
in good standing under the Act and whose primary object is to provide housing;
and
A corporation without share capital to which the Canada Not-for-profit
Corporations Act applies, that is in good standing under that Act and whose
primary object is to provide housing
1.8 Municipalities can charge interest to recover the costs associated with the development
charge deferral and / or the freezing of development charges. The Province may
prescribe a maximum interest rate; however, at this time there is no indication that the
Province will be prescribing a maximum rate.
2. Financial Implications of Changes
2.1 The changes effective January 1, 2020 for deferral of development charges for certain
types of development will result in the delay of collection of those development charges
which could put pressure on the Municipality to fund growth related capital
infrastructure. The timing of the receipt of development charges as a result of the
deferral could be at least three studies later, which means that the projects that the
funds were charged for could be completed prior to the final collection of the
development charges paid. This could result in an increased reliance on debt financing ,
which increases the cost of development.
2.2 The delay in timing also represents an opportunity cost as the Municipality is not able to
earn interest on those funds to offset the need for development charges in the future.
Page 98
Municipality of Clarington Page 4
Report FND-047-20
Interest earned on the DC Reserve Funds is deposited back into the fund to be used to
fund growth related capital investment.
2.3 The freezing of development charges similarly impacts the Municipality’s ability to fund
growth related infrastructure as the charge is locked for two years. This could span
studies which may result in the developer not paying for inf rastructure that they
otherwise would fund. At a minimum the annual indexation would be lost, which
represents the time value of money.
3. Establishment of Development Charge Interest Policy
3.1 While the framework for interest rates and other changes to the Development Charges
Act will be implemented through the new 2020 Development Charges Study and By -law,
there is a need to establish a policy currently as the legislation is already in effect. This
policy would form the basis for future Development Charges By-laws.
3.2 There are two times at which the Municipality may charge interest, the first being on the
“freeze period” between the site plan or zoning by-law application date and the building
permit issuance, the other date being the deferral period for qualifying developments.
Interest During the “Freeze Period”
3.3 With the new legislation, the developer can lock-in their DC rate at the time of site plan
application or zoning by-law application for a period of two years. This provides an
incentive for the developer to proceed through the development process without
indefinitely locking-in the development charge rate.
3.4 The Municipality currently indexes development charges annually on January 15 by the
Statistics Canada Quarterly, Construction Price Statistics (cata logue number 62-007)
based on the November month end. It is suggested that the interest on the “freeze
period” be equal to this indexation.
3.5 Charging interest at the same rate as the indexation ensures that the Municipality does
not lose development charges during the freeze period; however it does protect the
developer if there was a significant change in development charges resulting from a by-
law amendment or a study update. Developers are no worse off by charging interest at
this rate.
Interest During Deferral Period
3.6 The new legislation aims to incent certain types of institutional and residential
development by allowing the development charges to be paid over a longer period of
time allowing for better cash flowing of the development project
Page 99
Municipality of Clarington Page 5
Report FND-047-20
3.7 As money is collected based on a past value, the time value of money would result in
the buying power of the deferred amount being lower. By charging interest, the
Municipality is able to stay whole in its purchasing ability, although the cash flow may
still require borrowing.
3.8 A theoretical argument could be made that the proper interest rate to charge would be
the Municipality’s borrowing rate, as the Municipality would have to borrow for any cash
shortage caused by the deferral of development charges.
3.9 An alternate theory, Staff’s proposed solution, is that the interest rate should be tied to
the Municipality’s investment rate as the Municipality’s opportunity cost is the amount of
interest that could otherwise be earned had we received the money. Funds can be
borrowed internally to make up for any short-fall; however the DC Reserve Funds would
be unable to earn interest on any deferred amount outstanding.
3.10 It is suggested that the interest rate charged on outstanding deferred development
charges be set at the Municipality’s bank interest rate + one percent as at January 1
every year. The additional one percent recognizes the spread that could be earned on
long-term investments, recognizing that the Municipality invests in GICs, bonds and
other eligible investments to earn revenue for the reserve fund.
Reduced Rate for Affordable Housing Projects
3.11 It is suggested, based on the existing policy direction of Council, that qualifying
affordable housing projects receive an interest rate of 0% for the deferred development
charges. This is consistent with treatment of Parkview, which is a qualifying affordable
housing project through receiving funding from the Region of Durham. Affordable
housing, for the purposes of the reduced interest rate, is defined to be those projects
which are receiving funding from the Region of Durham for affordable housing (including
Provincial and Federal programs administered by the Region).
3.12 As the legislation stands, there is no preference for affordable housing versus other
“Non-profit Housing”. Council’s strategic priority specifically addresses affordable
housing, therefore it is felt appropriate that qualifying affordable housing projects could
qualify for the reduced interest rate. Further, by linking the lower rate with funding from
the Region of Durham we would be assured that if the project no longer qualifies as
affordable housing that we would be notified without having to commit municipal
resources to administration.

Report FND-047-20
Recommended Process
3.13 While the above highlights that there are alternative ways to justify the determination of
interest, municipalities in Durham Region have adopted a different approach. The Town
of Whitby has established an interest rate of five per cent with delegated authority to the
Treasurer to adjust this rate as warranted. The City of Pickering has established a rate
of bank prime + two percent, the Town of Ajax uses the Bank of Canada bank rate + two
percent; however, it is revised twice per year at December 31 and June 30 of each year.
3.14 It is recommended that a specific interest rate is not desirable as interest rates will
change each year and the interest charged does not relate to any index, it is arbitrary.
The determination of interest rates twice per year allows the interest to remain current
and reflective of prevailing economic conditions. The use of the Bank of Canada rate is
an independent and easily verifiable rate which is publicly available.
3.15 The Municipality’s policy utilizes the Bank of Canada’s bank rate at June 30 and
December 31 each year. This is consistent with the Town of Ajax, but also is consistent
with other municipalities in that it is a variable rate tied to an economic index.
4. Concurrence
This report has been reviewed by the Municipal Solicitor and the Acting Director of
Planning and Development Services who concur with the recommendations.
5. Conclusion
It is respectfully recommended that that attached draft policy for Development Charge
Interest be adopted.

1. That Report FND-049-20 be received for information.

Report FND-049-20
1. Background
Quarterly Reporting
1.1 The Budget Policy outlines a requirement for the Treasurer to report to Council on a
quarterly basis each year starting with the second quarter. This report fulfills that
reporting requirement.
New Format for Quarterly Report
1.2 To improve the usefulness of the information, and consistency of format with the annual
budget, the quarterly report is attached to this report as Attachment #1. Each
department is broken down by sub-department with the expenses grouped together like
the requirements for financial reporting and the 2020 annual budget.
1.3 Where there are key variances, these have been identified and are expanded upon for
Council’s, and the public’s, information.
1.4 This report is solely for operating expenses, Finance will be reporting separately in on
the capital budget. The capital budget will be reported on semi-annually, once in the fall
which captures the “construction season” to September 30th, and once in the spring
which summarizes the prior year’s activities.
2. Impact of COVID-19
2.1 Where appropriate, the impact of COVID-19 has been identified and discussed in
Attachment #1.
Report Overview
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a lasting impact on the Municipality of Clarington. It has
changed the way in which we provide services (a strong movement towards online services),
work, and live. The Municipality’s most significant financial impact has been the reduction of
services in Community Services. This continued to affect revenues in the third quarter even
as programs and facilities began to open back up. The Municipality was able to mitigate
these losses and at the end of September 30, 2020 we are trending positively despite seeing
reductions in investment revenue.
The attached report provides information on the variances by service area with anecdotal
commentary where appropriate.

Financial Update for the period ending September 30,
2020 (unaudited)
This report 'aims to provide Council with an update on the
Municipality of Clarington's financial activity through the
third quarter of 2020 and compare it with the same period
in 2019. This report will provide a financial overview of
budget variances as of September 30, 2020, and
essential non-financial functions of the Municipality such
as service level achievements or deficits that have been
realized within the reported quarter, a review of COVID-
19 impacts and department initiatives.
COVID-19 Implications
In August 2020, the Province of Ontario announced
funding for the Safe Restart Program. The Municipality
was allocated approximately $2.1 million through phase 1
of this program. The receipt of these funds will be
reflected in the fourth-quarter financial report. As of
September 30, 2020, there have not been any updates
on the funding announcement. Funding under this
program provides support for expenses and revenue
pressures associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Suppose the Municipality is unable to account for all of
the funds received. In that case, remaining funds must be
put into a reserve fund and utilized in 2021 for eligible
purposes. After careful consideration, the Treasurer's
advice was that the second phase of the funding not be
pursued..
The Municipality continues to experience the financial
impacts of COVID-19. Affects on our revenues and
expenses are highlighted below for each department.
Taxes Receivable/Collected
Taxes Receivable as of September 30, 2020, provides
the status of the taxes billed and collected by the
Municipality during the third quarter. A total of
Page 117
$24,044,928 remains unpaid which is similar to the same
quarter in previous years.
To provide COVID-19 relief to our taxpayers, the
Municipality moved the June installment of the final tax
bill to July. In 2020, two installment dates, the adjusted
date in July and the regularly scheduled date in
September fall in the third quarter.
Grants
Clarington received another installment of the grant from
the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) to
support 'participation in the Municipalities for Climate
Innovation Program (MCIP). The MCIP supports
municipalities in developing a response to climate change
that protects residents, the environment and the
economy. Funds received from the program are
subsidizing the Climate Change Response Coordinator
position, who is working with the Interdepartmental
Climate Change Working Group to develop the
Clarington Climate Action Plan and other climate
initiatives in the Municipality.
The initial installment of the grant for summer students
was received in the third quarter and is used to subsidize
student wages. Generally, the funding would be received
in October or November; due to COVID, a July
installment was made. This year's grant is lower than
last year's grant by 47 per cent.
Grant funding was received from the Tourism Industry
Association of Ontario (TIAO) this quarter. The TIAO
partnership through FedDev Ontario aids local
Destination Marketing Organizations with the Regional
Recovery and Relief Fund to help support marketing
efforts during the pandemic. Due to COVID-19, TIAO
pushed back the program end date from December 31,
2020, to February 28, 2021.
Page 118
Development Charges Collected
Residential and non-residential development charges
collected as of September 30, 2020, was $11,426,934.
Residential municipal development charges collected
were $10,680,150 compared to $2,388,914 in 2019 for
the same period. The 2015 Development Charges
Background Study forecasted that the Municipality would
be collecting approximately 823 units in total for 2020, or
about 617 units by the end of the third quarter. As at
September 30, 2020, development charges have been
collected for 737 units..
The development charges are significantly higher
compared to 2019 due to the increased volume of
permits issued in 2020. It was noted that deck and
renovation permits had increased this year, possibly as a
result of COVID-19. Staff attribute this increase to
taxpayers wanting to improve their homes/yards as they
are spending more time at home. There have been a few
large permits issued for townhouses, stacked
townhouses and single detached dwellings.

One Fund HISA and TD Reserve Bank investments,
Page 123
which are immediately accessible and thereby highly
liquid. The investments in the 10 to 20-year terms are all
bank bonds, which are considered to have adequate
liquidity. There are uses for these long-term investments,
but the specifics have not been clearly identified.

At the beginning of the second quarter , in response to
the global pandemic, the bulk of the One Fund HISA
account ($23,700,000) was transferred to the TD General
Fund bank account. There was some uncertainty in
March whether the One Fund investments would remain
accessible. This has been corrected in the third quarter,
the One Fund HISA General Fund balance has been
restored and is over $23 million at the end of the third
quarter.
Staffing Updates

variances by sub-department. The department
summaries indicate the status of the Municipality's
operating accounts compared to the approved budget as
of September 30, 2020.
Many of the operations of the Municipality are impacted
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.
Due to timing differences, variations from quarter-to-
quarter and year-to-year exist. Therefore, 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 its budget. Financial
Services provides each department monthly trial
balances to assist with the management of their
respective budgets.
The Summary of Operating Revenues and Expenditures
compares the Municipality's budget to actual transactions
as of September 30, 2020, reflecting financial activity
through the third quarter of 2020 and comparing it with
the same period in 2019. The tables below reflect the
Municipality's operating budget only and exclude the
year-to-date financial activities of the library, museum
and Business Improvement Areas (BIA's). It is important
to remember that these are not the final financial figures
for the year. Although these charts provide an overall
representation of our current financial standing, there are
many factors unaccounted for and the final financial
figures could be vastly different at year-end.
The following table summarizes financial results for the
year-to-date by department. Please note that “Levies”
Page 126
reflects the fact that there was a 90-day deferral of
payment to the school boards for their taxes, this will net
to $0 by the end of the year. There are several year-end
adjustments, particularly with capital and reserve
transfers, which will be recorded at year-end.

There was an overall reduction in expenses as office work adapted to COVID -19 restrictions. Many of the office expense
accounts are lower than is typical for this quarter (i.e. Printing, Office Supplies, Postage & Courier, etc.) with employees
working from home.
Tourism
The Tourism Office was closed to the public due to COVID-19 at the end of the first quarter. As a result, many of their
expenses are lower than expected for this period. S pecial events were cancelled, and the distribution of the maps was put
on hold as all travel centers in Ontario were closed with the pandemic.

Highlights
Council Services (Administration)
Council Services revenues are down due to COVID-19 except for Commissioning/Certification and Licencing revenue.
$25,000 for the Uber license was collected which accounts for the actual to budget variance in revenue . Increases will be
made for the 2021 budget.
The Records Management Summer Student position was extended to work part-time until mid-October, which will
increase the actuals in the Wages Temporary Part-Time account. There will be budget capacity for this addition.
Page 138
The Professional Fees account is over budget by 46% due to the high (and unanticipated) investigations' costs (i.e.
Integrity Commissioner).
Animal Services
The Animal Disposal expense account is expected to go over budget, as at the end of the third quarter it only has 3% of
the budget remaining. However, these expenses are offset by increased revenues in the Animal Disposal Revenue
account.
Fleet
General repair and maintenance on the 2013 Equinox put one of the fleet accounts over budget for that vehicle . There
was an accident with the 2018 Chevy Cruz, which incurred cost s for the repair that was unbudgeted.
Parking Enforcement
Fines and Meter revenue is lower than expected for the period ending September 30, 2020, due to the refocus of officer
duties and leniency provided throughout the pandemic from the beginning of the second quarter to the middle of the third
quarter.
The Small Equipment Purchases account is over budget by 34% with the purchase of a mobile printer for the MLEO
offices. There is a potential cost recovery for part of this expense from OPG.
Cemetery
Cemetery revenue for Bondhead Cemetery has exceeded the budget by 75% at the end of the third quarter.
Page 139
There are currently no sales for the Hampton columbarium, putting this revenue account underbudget for the period
ending September 30, 2020. Construction on the columbarium was initially delayed due to COVID-19, but it is now
complete, and the results of the opening of the sale for the niches will be seen in the final quarter.

Accounts receivable fines and penalties on interest are higher than budgeted and higher than the same period in 2019.
Investement income is still down this quarter due to decreased interest rates from COVID-19 market impacts.
Finance Admin
The legal fees account continues to be over budget due to the i ncreased involvement of the external solicitor regarding
non-residential assessment appeals such as Loblaws, Walmart, Shoppers Home Depot and Canadian Tire. These
appeals have been ongoing for several years and are being completed in 2020. The Municipality has been able to
recognize savings in lost revenue higher than the legal costs; this benefits the Municipality in the past as well as going
forward with protecting its commercial assessment base .
Unclassified Admin
The Transfers from Reserve and Reserve Fund account looks to be over budget by a significant value but that includes
the 2019 Operating Surplus entry, which is not assumed at the time of the budget creation. The 2019 surplus transfer is
Page 142
about 54% less than the 2018 transfer; this decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in the equity share of net income
– from Veridian Corporation of $1.2 million stemming from one-time costs related to the merger of Veridian and Whitby
Hydro, lower building permit revenue in 2019 of $1 million due to decreased developer activities, and higher sand and salt
costs of $0.7 million. These were partly offset by lower transfers to reserve funds of $0.9 million related to Building
Inspection, lower operating costs of $0.2 million associated with the closing of concessions stands at community facilities
and various other operating savings in 2019 tota lling $0.3 million.

Administration
User charges include an invoice to OPG for the 2020 annual payment as per the Memorandum of Understanding with the
Municipality of Clarington and OPG.
Transfers to the Reserve and Reserve Fund category look to be over budget however this is where the transfers of the
Emergency Call revenue is transferred to the Reserve Fund. In previous years, this revenue was an unbudgeted item.

Highlights
Administration
Contracted Services have Studies rolled up into these categories, but there is no budget for 2020. This makes it look like
the category is over budget, but it is not.
Consulting expenses are low for the period ending September 30, 2020. Subdivision lighting review is being done in-
house this year with fewer complicated subdivisions, reducing external consultants costs. This account will likely be under
budget this year.
Roads and Structures
Consulting expenses are anticipated for the next quarter. The estimate for the work will likely have this account coming in
under budget.
Building Inspections
As a result of COVID-19, an increase in building and pool permits revenue has been realized as people were spending
more on improving their homes/yards.
The Builiding Division also saw a reduction in expenses with the restriction from COVID-19. Many of the office expense
accounts are lower than is typical for this quarter (i.e. Printing, Professional Fees, etc.)

Highlights
Unassigned
Unfortunately, the revenues are still low for sports field rentals due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Administration
Miscellaneous expenses have gone over budget by 35% at the end of the 3 rd quarter. The overage is attributable to
COVID-19 related expenses.
Safety Devices
The special event budget has not been used due to the cancellation of events to reduce the risks of COVID -19.
Page 154
Parks
Fleet allocation for Parks increased as staff had to be assigned to individual vehicles due to COVID . Under normal
operations crews would be assigned to ride together.
The Parks Rental account is for the rental and cleaning of portable toilets in Parks, and due to COVID there was an
increase in cleaning costs.
Cemetery
Fleet allocation for Cemeteries increased as staff had to be assigned to individual vehicles due to COVID . Under normal
operations crews would be assigned to ride together.
Waste and Recycling Collection
No sales were made at the Hampton Operations/Public Works Centre during the COVID-19 shut down, resulting in lower
sales than generally seen by the end of the third quarter. The expense for the waste and recycling supplies are lower as
well, resulting from no inventory being purchased for that timeframe.
Fleet
The Fleet Miscellaneous Operating Supply account is rolled up into the materials and supplies category making it look like
it is over budget however, fleet revenues offset this account's expenses.

Administration
With the reopening of facilities and the commencement of programs, Community Services expected to see improvement
in revenues in the third quarter. Revenues continue to be lower than what is typical for this quarter with the continual
impact of COVID-19. The 2020 budgeted revenues for the department will not be achieved by year -end.

2. That approval be granted for the Municipality to renew the head-lease agreement

Report FND-052-20
1. Background
1.1 The Municipality has had a lease agreement with the Kendal Community Centre since
2000 for an annual fee of $2.00 and in 2009 a provision was included in the lease
allowing the Kendal Community Association to sublet portions of the hall. A condition of
the lease agreement makes provision for the subletting of space by the Kendal
Community Association provided it meets the intended use of the facility. Currently there
are two subleases in place at Kendal; the Kendal Lions Club and Paula Sheppard
(Kendal Postal Outlet).
2. Analysis
2.1 The existing agreement expires on December 31, 2020. As noted in the
recommendation, both the Kendal Lions Club and the Kendal Postal Outlet are paying
an annual lease rate of $2,400. It is proposed that a yearly increase is applied to their
existing rent based on the Consumer Price Index, All Items, Ontario (most recent issue).
The Kendal Community Association has agreed to these terms.
3. Financial/Budget Funding
3.1 The financial implication of this lease and the sublease are not significant. The lease
payment of the Kendal Community Centre lease is the required $2.00 per year and the
revenue from the subleases go directly to Kendal Community Association and is used to
offset the operating cost of the facility.

Municipality of Clarington Page 3
Report FND-053-20
1. Background
2015 Development Charges
1.1 On May 14, 2015 Council adopted the existing development charges with the approval
of FND-007-15 and By-law 2015-035. This By-law, by legislation, expires after five
years or July 1, 2020. As a result, Council approved in the 2019 budget the undertaking
of a new development charges study as required under the Development Charges Act,
1997.
1.2 On April 14, 2020, Council approved the extension of the existing By-law under the
powers provided by the Province of Ontario. The Coronavirus (COVID-19) Support and
Protection Act, 2020 received royal asset on April 14, 2020 and provided an extension
of six months after the declared emergency under the Emergency Management and
Civil Protection Act on March 17, 2020 was lifted. This emergency was lifted on July 24,
2020 which sets the expiry of the existing By-law as January 24, 2021.
1.3 The legislation only allows calculation of the charge based on the historical average
service life of the past ten years. The legislation also does not permit the use of
development charges to increase service levels in any category. If the allowable
permitted calculation charge under the legislation is not used, the shortfall is transferred
to the tax base and the historic average is eroded, such that in the future less
development charges can be recovered.
2020 Development Charges Study
1.4 Staff from all departments and the Clarington Public Library worked as a steering
committee with Andrew Grunda from Watson and Associates, to bring the background
study forward in October 2020. In addition, staff were pleased that representatives from
the development community attended a meeting in Febru ary 2020 to go over the
preliminary findings.
1.5 The background study introduction provides an overview of the area of focus in this
report. The areas of particular emphasis were the growth forecast, the identified capital
projects, the proposed new policies and the inclusion of local service definitions.
Report Overview
The purpose of this report is to comply with the provisions of the Development Charges Act,
to obtain Council approval of a new Development Charges Background Study and By-law to
establish new development charge fees upon expiry of the existing By-law.
Page 173
Municipality of Clarington Page 4
Report FND-053-20
1.6 The Draft Background Study and By-law consider legislative changes up to the date of
the draft. The Community Benefits Charge has not been included in this study as staff
are continuing to review the applicability of the new revenue stream to the Municipality.
2. Residential Charge
2.1 The Municipality currently charges residential development charges based on three
categories: single/semi, low density multiples and apartment. There is no differentiation
on the size of apartment under the current by-law.
2.2 It is recommended that the residential development charges be changed to four
categories which are like other municipalities within the Region of Durham, and the
Region itself. Under the proposed by-law the categories would be as follows:
a. Single and Semi-detached dwelling;
b. Apartments – 2 bedroom +;
c. Apartments – Bachelor and 1 bedroom; and
d. Other multiples.
2.3 An apartment is a residential building (other than a four -plex or six-plex) containing at
least four or more dwelling units that have a common entrance at grade, common
corridors, stairs and/or yards. There are now two categories for apartments.
2.4 A multiple unit building is a residential building, or portion of a mixed -use building, that
contains multiple dwelling units (other than those in an apartment building, linked
building, semi-detached building or single detached dwelling) and includes plexes and
townhouses.
Page 174
Municipality of Clarington Page 5
Report FND-053-20
2.5 The increase in residential charges are as follows:
Category Current
Fee
Proposed
Fee
$
Increase
%
Increase
Single and Semi-Detached $18,148 $21,461 $3,313 18.3%

Apartments – bachelor or 1
bedroom
8,682 7,014 (1,668) (19.2%)
Other Multiples 14,030 17,590 3,560 25.4%
2.6 It should be noted, that while the increases as a percentage seem high the development
charges as a total are still among the lowest in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). In
Durham Region, only Scugog, Uxbridge and the city-wide Pickering (no including
Seaton) charges are lower.
3. Non-Residential Charge
3.1 The change in non-residential charges are as follows:

3.2 When compared to other GTA municipalities, these charges are below the average.
Page 175
Municipality of Clarington Page 6
Report FND-053-20
4. Tax Impact
4.1 The existing taxpayer funds any shortfalls for the cost of growth-related services which
is not collected through the development charge. In the background study, section 5
includes the cost of growth-related projects which are funded by development charges.
Costs identified under “Benefit to Existing Development” must be funded by other
sources other than development charges.
4.2 Recent changes in the Development Charges Act no longer require a mandatory 10%
reduction of recoverable costs, therefore only the benefit to existing taxpayers are
required to be funded by existing taxpayers. This is a more equitable arrangement and
furthers the philosophy that growth pays for growth.
4.3 Existing taxpayers must fund the cost of any incentives provided. Paragraph 3 of
Subsection 5(6) of the Act states “if the Development Charges by-law will exempt a type
of development, phase in a development charge or otherwise provide for a type of
development to have a lower development charge than is allowed, the rules for
determining development charges may not provide for any resulting shortfall to be made
up through higher development charges for other development.”
4.4 Per the above regulations, if the charge, as calculated is phased-in the difference
between the approved charge and the calculated charge must be funded by taxpayers.
This would shift the burden of growth to the existing taxpayer.
5. Meeting with Developers
5.1 Staff from the Municipality and Watson & Associates Ltd. met with the development
community on February 19, 2020 to provide an overview of the background study, the
methodology applied in the development charge calculation and to provide an
opportunity for questions to be answered. The meeting was set up over and above the
requirements of the Development Charges Act and in addition to the scheduled public
meeting for November 30, 2020 (originally intended for May 2020). The meeting was
advertised through multiple avenues and was well attended.
6. Statutory Public Meeting
6.1 The Act requires that at least one statutory public meeting is held with public notice
being provided at least 20 days in advance. The draft study and by-law must also be
available at least two weeks prior to the public meeting.
Page 176
Municipality of Clarington Page 7
Report FND-053-20
6.2 A public notice was placed in the Orono Times on November 4, 11 and 18. A public
notice was also placed in the Clarington This Week on November 5, 12 and 19. These
advertisements meet the statutory requirement for public notice at least 20 days in
advance, with additional notices within that period of time as reminders.
6.3 The draft study was posted on the Municipality’s website on October 14, 2020 and an
addendum was placed on November 8, 2020 (as a result of missin g pages in the
original document). The original document and the addendum were publicly available
for more than two weeks on our website, in compliance with the statutory requirements.
7. Exemptions and Refunds
7.1 There are some exemptions and refunds provisions in the proposed Development
Charges By-law. These are detailed in sections 22 to 38 of the proposed Development
Charges By-law. Included in the proposed exemptions are:
a. Revitalization areas;
b. Agricultural development;
c. Certain public buildings;
d. Contaminated sites;
e. Historic downtown redevelopments;
f. Research laboratory exemptions; and
g. Places of worship.
7.2 Changes to exemptions and refunds from the previous By-law primarily relate to the
deletion of an exemption for masonry-clad buildings of a required height. This
exemption was intended to incent high-density mixed-use development, staff found that
this exemption was not producing the anticipated results and was difficult to administer.
It was felt that this exemption is no longer required.
8. Future Potential Exemptions
8.1 As the Development Charges By-law is reviewed at least every five years, exemptions
and incentives not producing the results anticipated can be enhanced, modified or
eliminated. If an exemption is producing unintended results, amendments can be made
during the life of the By-law, subject to requirements for a statutory public meeting and
public notice.
Page 177
Municipality of Clarington Page 8
Report FND-053-20
8.2 Development Charge exemptions are imperfect tools to achieve some desired goals.
While development charge exemptions are a type of incentive that the Municipality can
provide, they are not the only incentive. In some cases, the provision of a grant along
with the attendant rules that the Municipality can impose are more successful tools for
accomplishing specific goals.
9. Exemption Where Permits Applied For
9.1 The effective date of change in the quantum is recommended as January 24, 2021. It is
recommended that building permit applications that are in on or before January 23,
2021 and are complete will not be subject to the new By-law. The increase in the charge
is imposed at the time of issue of the building permit and so a specific resolution has
been added to this report.
10. Communications Received
10.1 Some communications have been received in advance of the statutory public meeting
due to public consultation undertaken to date. Responses are being drafted and will be
provided in a subsequent update to Council following the public meeting along with any
new responses from the public meeting.
SCS Consulting Group
10.2 Please see attached letter from SCS Consulting Group, attachment 5. SCS Consulting
represents the Southeast Courtice Landowners. The group is suggesting several
additional projects to be included in the Development Charges Study.
10.3 It should be noted that the Municipality is currently con ducting several Secondary Plans
in 2020 through 2023. These Secondary Plans will establish the development plans for
those areas. It is suggested that once these Secondary Plans are complete that the
Municipality revisits the development charges study in o rder to update any growth
related capital which is identified from these Secondary Plans. This is a common
practice amongst high-growth municipalities in the GTA.
Durham Region Home Builders’ Association
10.4 Attachment 6 is a letter from the Durham Region Homebuilders Association dated
November 12, 2020. This letter outlines several questions regarding specific projects

adoption in the spring of 2021. It is my understanding that the Town is considering
eliminating the exemption for hospices as a result of a recent change in the Act which
requires a mandatory five-year deferral of development charges.
10.7 Any exemption provided to the hospice would need to be funded by taxpayers, this
would be an addition of over $110,000 to the tax base. Staff report FND-047-20 outlines
the Development Charges Interest Policy, within the policy it is recommended that
hospices have the deferral of development charges at zero per cent interest. This
interest rate is not required to be funded by taxpayers and represents an in-kind
contribution to any qualifying project.
Municipal Solicitor
10.8 The Director of Legislative Services/Municipal Solicitor has provided some additional
comments on the wording of the draft by-law subsequent to the release of the draft
document.
10.9 It is suggested that paragraph 5 of section 18 remove the reference to “temporary
buildings” as those are defined and exempted in section 28. Further, he has concern
that this section limits Council’s broad authority under S.27 of the Act to enter into
deferral agreements. If Council wishes to delegate authority to staff to enter into deferral
agreements this should be expressly included in the by-law.
10.10 It is suggested that paragraph 3 of section 35 regarding brownfield credits be
eliminated. This paragraph states that the brownfield credits do not apply to
redevelopment for a gas service station or uses developed in conjunction with a gas
service station. This section has also been brought up by several members of Council in
the past. If Council wishes to incent the redevelopment of gas stations into other uses
this section should be discussed.
10.11 A red-line version of the by-laws with the Director of Legislative Services/Municipal
Solicitor’s comments are included in attachment #8. These comments plus any other
comments from the public meeting will be included in the final draft being brought to
Council on December 14, 2020.

1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose of this Document
This background study has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of the
Development Charges Act (D.C.A.)., 1997 (s.10), and accordingly, recommends new
Development Charges (D.C.s) and policies for the Municipality of Clarington
(Municipality).
The Municipality retained Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. (Watson) to undertake
the D.C. study process. Watson worked with senior staff of the Municipality in preparing
this D.C. analysis and the policy recommendations.
This D.C. background study, containing the proposed D.C. by-law, will be distributed to
members of the public in order to provide interested parties with sufficient background
information on the legislation, the study’s recommendations and an outline of the basis
for these recommendations.
This report has been prepared, in the first instance, to meet the statutory requirements
applicable to the Municipality’s D.C. background study, as summarized in Chapter 4,
with the anticipated development forecast in Chapter 3 and the corresponding increase
in need for service quantified in Chapter 5. It also addresses the requirement for “rules”
governing the imposition of the proposed charges (Chapter 7), and the proposed by-
laws to be made available as part of the approval process (Appendices E and F).
In addition, the report sets out the Municipality’s current D.C. policy (Chapter 2) for the
purpose of comparison to the proposed by-law policies, to make the exercise
understandable to interested parties. Finally, the D.C. background study addresses
post-adoption implementation requirements (Chapter 9) which are critical to the
successful application of the new policy.
The chapters in the report are supported by Appendices containing the data required to
explain and substantiate the calculation of the charge.

1.2 Summary of the Process
The public meeting required under Section 12 of the D.C.A. will be scheduled, at the
earliest, two weeks after the posting of the D.C. background study and draft D.C. by -law
on the Municipality’s website. Its purpose is to present the background study and draft
D.C. by-law to the public and to solicit public input on the matter. The public meeting is
also being held to answer any questions regarding the study’s purpose, methodology
and the proposed modifications to the Municipality’s D.C. by-law.
In accordance with the legislation, the D.C. background stud y and proposed D.C. by-
laws were available for public review on October 15, 2020.
The process to be followed in finalizing the report and recommendations includes:
• consideration of responses received prior to, at or immediately following the
public meeting; and
• finalization of the study and Council consideration of the by-laws.
Table 1-1 outlines the study process to date and the proposed schedule to be followed
with respect to the D.C. by-law adoption process.

1.3 Changes to the Development Charges Act, 1997: More
Homes, More Choice Act (Bill 108) the Plan to Build
Ontario Together Act (Bill 138), and the COVID-19
Economic Recovery Act (Bill 197)
On May 2, 2019, the Province introduced Bill 108, which proposed changes to the
D.C.A. The Bill was introduced as part of the Province’s “More Homes, More Choice:
Ontario's Housing Supply Action Plan.” The Bill received Royal Assent on June 6,
2019.
While having received Royal Assent, many of the amendments to the D.C.A. would not
come into effect until they are proclaimed by the Lieutenant Governor. As of January 1,
2020, the following provisions had been proclaimed:
• Transitional provisions were in effect which have been replaced by updated
provisions within Bill 197.
• Effective January 1, 2020, rental housing and institutional developments will pay
D.C.s in six equal annual installments, with the first payment commencing at the
date of occupancy. Non-profit housing developments will pay D.C.s in 21 equal
annual installments. Interest may be charged on the installments, and any
unpaid amounts may be added to the property and collected as taxes.
• Effective January 1, 2020, the D.C. amount for all developments occurring within
two years of a site plan or zoning by-law amendment planning approval (for
applications submitted after this section is proclaimed) shall be determined based
on the D.C. charge in effect on the day of site plan or zoning by-law amendment
application. If the development is not proceeding via these planning approvals,
or if the building permit is issued after the two-year period of application approval,
then the amount is determined the earlier of the date of issuance of a building
permit or occupancy.
In response to the global pandemic that began affecting Ontario in early 2020, the
Province released Bill 197, the COVID-19 Economic Recovery Act, which provided
amendments to a number of Acts, including the D.C.A. and Planning Act. This Bill also
revised some of the proposed changes identified in Bill 108. Bill 197 was tabled on July
8, 2020 and received Royal Assent on July 21, 2020, however, the changes would not
Page 191
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 1-5
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
come into effect until proclaimed by the Lieutenant Governor. On September 18, 2020
the Province proclaimed the remaining amendments to the D.C.A. that were made
through Bill 108 and Bill 197. The following provides a summary of the changes to the
D.C.A. that are now in effect:
List of D.C. Eligible Services
• Under Bill 108 some services were to be included under the D.C.A. and some
would be included under the Community Benefits Charge (C.B.C.) authority.
However, Bill 197 revised this proposed change and has included all services
(with some exceptions) under the D.C.A. These services are as follows:
o Water supply services, including distribution and treatment services.
o Wastewater services, including sewers and treatment services.
o Storm water drainage and control services.
o Services related to a highway.
o Electrical power services.
o Toronto-York subway extension, as defined in subsection 5.1 (1).
o Transit services other than the Toronto-York subway extension.
o Waste diversion services.
o Policing services.
o Fire protection services.
o Ambulance services.
o Library Services.
o Long-term care services.
o Parks and recreation services (but not the acquisition of land for parks).
o Public health services.
o Childcare and early years services.
o Housing services.
o Provincial Offences Act Services.
o Services related to emergency preparedness.
o Services related to airports, but only in the Regional Municipality of
Waterloo.
o Additional services as prescribed
Classes of D.C. Services
Page 192
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 1-6
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
The D.C.A. had allowed for categories of services to be grouped together into a
minimum of two categories (90% and 100% services).
The Act (as proclaimed) repeals that provision and replaces the above with the four
following subsections:
• A D.C. by-law may provide for any eligible service or capital cost related to any
eligible service to be included in a class, set out in the by-law.
• A class may be composed of any number or combination of services and may
include parts or portions of the eligible services or parts or portions of the capital
costs in respect of those services.
• A D.C. by-law may provide for a class consisting of studies in respect of any
eligible service whose capital costs are described in paragraphs 5 and 6 of s. 5 of
the D.C.A.
• A class of service set out in the D.C. by-law is deemed to be a single service with
respect to reserve funds, use of monies, and credits.
10% Statutory Deduction
As well, the removal of 10% deduction for soft services under Bill 108 has been
maintained.
Statutory Exemptions
Statutory exemptions to the payment of D.C.s for the creation of secondary residential
dwelling units in prescribed classes of existing residential buildings or structures
ancillary to existing residential buildings. Furthermore, the creation of a second dwelling
unit in prescribed classes of proposed new residential buildings, including structures
ancillary to dwellings.
Transition
Services, other than those described in paragraphs 1 to 10 of subsection 2 (4) of the
D.C.A. (i.e. soft services) within an existing D.C. by-law can remain in effect, even if the
by-law expires, until the earlier of:
• the day the by-law is repealed;
Page 193
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 1-7
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
• the day the municipality passes a C.B.C. by-law under subsection 37 (2) of the
Planning Act; or
• the specified date (i.e. September 18, 2022).
1.4 Coronavirus (COVID-19) Support and Protection Act,
2020
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) Support and Protection Act, 2020 came into force on April
14, 2020. This Act allows any municipal by-laws that were set to expire during the state
of emergency to continue to be in effect for six months after the provincial emergency
declaration period comes to an end. On July 24, 2020, the Reopening Ontario (A
Flexible Response to COVID-19) Act, 2020, known as Bill 195, came into effect,
bringing an end to the COVID-19 declared provincial state of emergency.

2. Current Municipality of Clarington D.C. Policy
2.1 By-law Enactment
On July 1, 2015 the Municipality enacted By-law 2015-035 which imposes municipal-
wide D.C.s for all services included therein. The by-law would have expired on July 1,
2020, which was during the provincial state of emergency. As outlined in section 1.4 of
the report, the by-law was extended until January 24, 2021, i.e. 6 months after the end
of the Provincial state of emergency.
2.2 Services Covered
The following services are included under By-law 2015-035:
• General Government;
• Library Services;
• Emergency and Fire Services;
• Indoor Recreation;
• Park Development and Related Facilities;
• Operations (Buildings, Equipment and Fleet);
• Parking; and
• Roads and Related.
2.3 Timing of D.C. Calculation and Payment
D.C.s are due and payable in full to the Municipality on the date a building permit is
issued for any land, buildings or structures affected by the applicable D.C. The By-law
also allows the Municipality to enter into alternative payment agreements with owners.
2.4 Indexing
The by-law provides for mandatory annual indexing of the charges on January 15th of
each year. Table 2-1 provides the charges currently in effect, for residential and non -
residential development types, as well as the breakdown of the charges by service.

3. Anticipated Development in the Municipality of
Clarington
3.1 Requirement of the Act
Chapter 4 provides the methodology for calculating a D.C. as per the D.C.A. Figure 4-1
presents this methodology graphically. It is noted in the first box of the schematic that in
order to determine the D.C. that may be imposed, it is a requirement of Section 5 (1) of
the D.C.A. that “the anticipated amount, type and location of development, for which
development charges can be imposed, must be estimated.”
The growth forecast contained in this chapter (with supplemental tables in Appendix A)
provides for the anticipated development for which the Municipality of Clarington will be
required to provide services, over a 10-year (early-2020 to early-2030), and a longer-
term horizon (early-2020 to mid-2031).
3.2 Basis of Population, Household and Non-Residential
Gross Floor Area Forecast
The D.C. growth forecast has been derived by Watson. In preparing the growth
forecast, the following information sources were consulted to assess the residential and
non-residential development potential for the Municipality of Clarington over the forecast
period, including:
• Municipality of Clarington Official Plan (Last consolidated June 2018);
• 2006, 2011 and 2016 population, household, and employment Census data;
• Historical residential and non-residential building permit data over the 2009 to
2018 period;
• Residential supply opportunities as provided by the Municipality of Clarington;
and
• Discussions with Municipality staff regarding anticipated residential and non-
residential development in the Municipality of Clarington.

3.3 Summary of Growth Forecast
A detailed analysis of the residential and non-residential growth forecasts is provided in
Appendix A and the methodology employed is illustrated in Figure 3-1. The discussion
provided herein summarizes the anticipated growth for the Municipality and describes
the basis for the forecast. The results of the residential growth forecast analysis are
summarized in Table 3-1 below, and Schedule 1 in Appendix A.
As identified in Table 3-1 and Appendix A, Schedule 1, population in Clarington is
anticipated to reach approximately 129,690 by early-2030 and 134,940 by mid-2031,
resulting in an increase of approximately 30,400 and 35,650 persons, respectively.1

Provided below is a summary of the key assumptions and findings regarding the
Municipality of Clarington D.C. growth forecast:
1. Housing Unit Mix (Appendix A – Schedules 1 and 6)
• The housing unit mix for the Municipality was derived from a detailed review of
residential supply data for the Municipality (as per Schedule 6), and historical
development activity (as per Schedule 7).
• Based on the above indicators, the 10-year household growth forecast for the
Municipality is comprised of a unit mix of 61% low density units (single detached
and semi-detached), 20% medium density (multiples except apartments) and
19% high density (bachelor, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments).
2. Geographic Location of Residential Development (Appendix A – Schedule 2)
• Schedule 2 summarizes the anticipated amount, type, and location of
development by servicing area for the Municipality of Clarington.
• In accordance with forecast demand and available land supply, the amount and
percentage of forecast housing growth between 2020 and 2031 by development
location is summarized below.
Development Location
Approximate Amount of
Housing Growth, 2020 to
2031
Percentage of Housing
Growth, 2020 to 2031
Bowmanville 7,220 53%
Courtice 2,950 22%
Newcastle 2,900 21%
Rural 620 4%
Municipality Total 13,690 100%
Page 204
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 3-6
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
3. Planning Period
• Short and longer-term time horizons are required for the D.C. process. The
D.C.A. limits the planning horizon for certain services, such as parks, recreation
and libraries, to a 10-year planning horizon. Services related to a highway,
public works, fire, police, stormwater, water and wastewater services can utilize a
longer planning period.
4. Population in New Housing Units (Appendix A - Schedules 3, 4 and 5)
• The number of housing units to be constructed by 2031 in the Municipality of
Clarington over the forecast period is presented in Figure 3-2. Over the 2020 to
2031 forecast period, the Municipality is anticipated to approximately average
1,304 new housing units per year.
• Institutional population1 is anticipated to increase by approximately 310 people
between 2020 to 2031.
• Population in new units is derived from Schedules 3, 4, and 5, which incorporate
historical development activity, anticipated units (see unit mix discussion) and
average persons per unit (P.P.U.) by dwelling type for new units.
• Schedule 8 summarizes the P.P.U. for the new housing units by age and type of
dwelling based on a 2016 custom Census data for Clarington. The total
calculated 20-year average P.P.U.s by dwelling type are as follows:
o Low density: 3.133
o Medium density: 2.568
o High density2: 1.426
5. Existing Units and Population Change (Appendix A - Schedules 3, 4 and 5)
• Existing households for early-2020 are based on the 2016 Census households,
plus estimated residential units constructed between mid -2016 and early-2020
assuming a 6-month lag between construction and occupancy (see Schedule 3).
• The decline in average occupancy levels for existing housing units is calculated
in Schedules 3 through 5, by aging the existing population over the forecast
1 Institutional includes special care facilities such as nursing home or residences for
senior citizens. A P.P.U. of 1.100 depicts 1-bedroom and 2- or more bedroom units in
these special care facilities.
2 Includes bachelor, 1-bedroom and 2- or more bedroom apartments.
Page 205
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 3-7
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
period. The forecast population decline in existing households over the 2020 to
2031 forecast period is approximately 1,600.
6. Employment (Appendix A, Schedules 10a, 10b, 10c, 11 and 12)
• The employment projections provided herein are largely based on the activity
rate method, which is defined as the number of jobs in a municipality divided by
the number of residents. Key employment sectors include primary, industrial,
commercial/ population-related, institutional, and work at home, which are
considered individually below.
• 2016 employment data1 (place of work) for the Municipality of Clarington is
outlined in Schedule 10a. The 2016 employment base is comprised of the
following sectors:
o 660 primary (3%);
o 2,950 work at home employment (13%);
o 7,110 industrial (30%);
o 7,880 commercial/population related (34%); and
o 4,655 institutional (20%).
• The 2016 employment by usual place of work, including work at home, is 23,255.
An additional 5,435 employees have been identified for the Municipality in 2016
that have no fixed place of work (N.F.P.O.W.).2
• Total employment, including work at home and N.F.P.O.W. for the Municipality is
anticipated to reach approximately 39,480 by early-2030 and 40,460 by mid-
2031. This represents an employment increase of approximately 8,710 for the
10-year forecast period and 9,690 for the longer-term forecast period.
• Schedule 10b, Appendix A, summarizes the employment forecast, excluding
work at home employment and N.F.P.O.W. employment, which is the basis for
the D.C. employment forecast. The impact on municipal services from work at
home employees has already been included in the population forecast. The
need for municipal services related to N.F.P.O.W. employees has largely been
1 2016 employment is based on Statistics Canada 2016 Place of Work Employment
dataset by Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
2 No fixed place of work is defined by Statistics Canada as "persons who do not go from
home to the same work place location at the beginning of each shift". Such persons
include building and landscape contractors, travelling salespersons, independent truck
drivers, etc.
Page 206
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 3-8
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
included in the employment forecast by usual place of work (i.e. employment and
gross floor area generated from N.F.P.O.W. construction employment).
Furthermore, since these employees have no fixed work address, they cannot be
captured in the non-residential gross floor area (G.F.A.) calculation.
• Total employment for the Municipality of Clarington (excluding work at home and
N.F.P.O.W. employment) is anticipated to reach approximately 28,310 by early -
2030 and 28,920 by mid-2031.1 This represents an employment increase of
approximately 6,450 and 7,060 over the 10-year and longer-term forecast
periods, respectively.
7. Non-Residential Square Feet (Sq.ft.) Estimates (G.F.A., Appendix A, Schedule 10b)
• Square footage estimates were calculated in Schedule 10b based on the
following employee density assumptions:
o 1,300 sq.ft. per employee for industrial;
o 325 sq.ft. per employee for commercial/population-related; and
o 700 sq.ft. per employee for institutional employment.
• The Municipality-wide incremental Gross Floor Area (G.F.A.) is anticipated to
increase by 4,391,100 sq.ft. over the 10-year forecast period and 4,692,200 sq.ft.
over the longer-term forecast period.
• In terms of percentage growth, the 2020 to 2031 incremental G.F.A. forecast by
sector is broken down as follows:
o industrial – 59%;
o commercial/population-related – 23%; and
o institutional – 18%.
8. Geography of Non-Residential Development (Appendix A, Schedule 10c)
• Schedule 10c summarizes the anticipated amount, type and location of non -
residential development by servicing area for Municipality of Clarington by area.
• In accordance with forecast demand and available land supply, the amount and
percentage of forecast total non-residential growth between 2020 and 2031 by
development location is summarized below.
1 G.F.A. and employment associated within special care institutional dwellings treated
as residential, resulting in an institutional employment difference between Schedules
10a and 10b.

3.4 Clarington Technology Park Area-Specific D.C.
Anticipated Development
Municipal staff provided Watson with the defined Clarington Technology Park Area
which is the subject of an area-specific D.C. for local stormwater management services.
The Clarington Technology Park is contained within the Bennett Creek Catchment Area
north of Highway of 401. The Municipality provided the number, size and current
development status (developed and vacant) of the properties within the area.
The Bennett Creek Catchment Area is identified on the Bennett Creek MDP Update
Map included as Figure 3-3, as is the Clarington Technology Park Area. The Bennett
Creek Catchment Area north of Highway 401 totals 208.05 hectares. To determine the
Clarington Technology Park Area benefitting from the future stormwater management
facility (S.W.M.F.), areas not tributary to the S.W.M.F. were excluded from the
benefitting area. Areas not tributary to the S.W.M.F. total 43.38 hectares, and include
MTO Corridor and Interchange Lands, development west of the S.W.M.F., and lands
east of Bennett Road Tributary to Lambs Road 401 Culvert Crossing. Moreover, lands
for existing and future roads, natural channel corridors, and the S.W.M.F. site are also
excluded from the benefitting area (i.e. 72.43 hectares). Based on the foregoing, the
Clarington Technology Park, as defined herein, contains a net developable area totaling
92.26 hectares.

H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
4. Approach to the Calculation of the Charge
4.1 Introduction
This chapter addresses the requirements of s.s.5(1) of the D.C.A. with respect to the
establishment of the need for service which underpins the D.C. calculation. These
requirements are illustrated schematically in Figure 4-1.
4.2 Services Potentially Involved
Table 4-1 lists the full range of municipal service categories which are provided within
the Municipality.
A number of these services are defined in s.s.2(4) of the D.C.A. as being ineligible for
inclusion in D.C.s. These are shown as “ineligible” on Table 4 -1. Furthermore, two
ineligible costs defined in s.s.5(3) of the D.C.A. are “computer equipment” and “rolling
stock with an estimated useful life of [less than] seven years...” In addition, local roads
are covered separately under subdivision agreements and related means (as are other
local services). Services which are potentially eligible for inclusion in the Municipality’s
D.C.s are indicated with a “Yes.”
4.3 Increase in Need for Service
The D.C. calculation commences with an estimate of “the increase in the need for
service attributable to the anticipated development,” for each service to be covered by
the by-law. There must be some form of link or attribution between the anticipated
development and the estimated increase in the need for service. Whil e the need could
conceivably be expressed generally in terms of units of capacity, s.s.5(1)3, which
requires that municipal council indicate that it intends to ensure that such an increase in
need will be met, suggests that a project-specific expression of need would be most
appropriate.

H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
4.4 Local Service Policy
Some of the need for services generated by additional development consists of local
services related to a plan of subdivision. As such, they will be required as a condition of
subdivision agreements or consent conditions. The Municipality’s Local Service Policy
is included in Appendix D.
4.5 Capital Forecast
Paragraph 7 of s.s.5(1) of the D.C.A. requires that, “the capital costs necessary to
provide the increased services must be estimated.” The Act goes on to require two
potential cost reductions and the Regulation sets out the way in which such costs are to
be presented. These requirements are outlined below.
These estimates involve capital costing of the increased services discussed above.
This entails costing actual projects or the provision of service units, depending on how
each service has been addressed.
The capital costs include:
• costs to acquire land or an interest therein (including a leasehold interest);
• costs to improve land;
• costs to acquire, lease, construct or improve buildings and structures;
• costs to acquire, lease or improve facilities including rolling stock (with a useful
life of 7 or more years), furniture and equipment (other than computer
equipment), materials acquired for library circulation, reference or information
purposes;
• interest on money borrowed to pay for the above-referenced costs;
• costs to undertake studies in connection with the above -referenced matters; and
• costs of the D.C. background study.
In order for an increase in need for service to be included in the D.C. calculation,
municipal council must indicate “...that it intends to ensure that such an increase in need
will be met” (s.s.5(1)3). This can be done if the increase in service forms part of a
Council-approved Official Plan, capital forecast or similar expression of the intention of
Council (O.Reg. 82/98 s.3). The capital program contained herein reflects the
Page 217
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 4-8
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
Municipality’s approved and proposed capital budgets and master servicing/needs
studies.
4.6 Treatment of Credits
Section 8 para. 5 of O.Reg. 82/98 indicates that a D.C. background study must set out,
“the estimated value of credits that are being carried forward relating to the service.”
s.s.17 para. 4 of the same Regulation indicates that, “...the value of the credit cannot be
recovered from future D.C.s,” if the credit pertains to an ineligible service. This implies
that a credit for eligible services can be recovered from future D.C.s. As a result, this
provision should be made in the calculation, in order to avoid a funding shortfall with
respect to future service needs.
The Municipality has no outstanding D.C. credit obligations.
4.7 Classes of Services
Section 7 of the D.C.A. states that a D.C. by-law may provide for any D.C. eligible
service or the capital costs with respect to those services. Further, a class may be
composed of any number or combination of services and may include parts or portions
of each D.C. eligible services. With respect to growth-related studies, Section 7(3) of
the D.C.A. states that:
For greater certainty, a development charge by-law may provide for a class
consisting of studies in respect of any service listed in subsection 2 (4) whose capital
costs are described in paragraphs 5 and 6 of subsection 5 (3).
These provisions allow for services to be grouped together to create a class for the
purposes of the D.C. by-law and D.C. reserve funds. The D.C. calculations and draft
by-law provided herein include a class for growth studies. This class is comprised of
the following municipal-wide services:
• Growth Studies
o Services Related to a Highway;
o Fire Protection Services;
o Parks and Recreation Services; and
o Library Services.

H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
4.8 Eligible Debt and Committed Excess Capacity
Section 66 of the D.C.A. states that for the purposes of developing a D.C. by-law, a debt
incurred with respect to an eligible service may be included as a capital cost, subject to
any limitations or reductions in the Act. Similarly, s.18 of O.Reg. 82/98 indicates that
debt with respect to an ineligible service may be included as a capital cost, subject to
several restrictions.
In order for such costs to be eligible, two conditions must apply. First, they must have
funded excess capacity which is able to meet service needs attributable to the
anticipated development. Second, the excess capacity must be “committed,” that is,
either before or at the time it was created, Council must have expressed a clear
intention that it would be paid for by D.C.s or other similar charges. For example, this
may have been done as part of previous D.C. processes.
4.9 Existing Reserve Funds
Section 35 of the D.C.A. states that:
“The money in a reserve fund established for a service may be spent only for capital
costs determined under paragraphs 2 to 8 of subsection 5(1).”
There is no explicit requirement under the D.C.A. calculation method set out in s.s.5(1)
to net the outstanding reserve fund balance as part of making the D.C. calculation;
however, s.35 does restrict the way in which the funds are used in future.
The Municipality’s D.C. Reserve Funds balances, by service, are presented in Table 4-2
below. 2019 year-end reserve fund balances have been adjusted to account for eligible
and actual reserve fund draws and commitments occurring over the 2015-2019 period.
These balances have been applied against future spending requirements for all
services.

H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
Table 4-2
Municipality of Clarington
Estimated D.C. Reserve Funds Balances (as at December 31, 2019)
Uncommitted balances in the Operations Services reserve fund have been allocated
proportionately between Parks and Recreation Services ($70,418) and Roads and
Related Service ($727,772) based on their anticipated D.C. eligible needs over the
forecast period for the purposes of calculating the charge.
4.10 Deductions
The D.C.A. potentially requires that five deductions be made to the increase in the need
for service. These relate to:
• the level of service ceiling;
• uncommitted excess capacity;
• benefit to existing development; and
• anticipated grants, subsidies and other contributions.
The requirements behind each of these reductions are addressed as follows:
4.10.1 Reduction Required by Level of Service Ceiling
This is designed to ensure that the increase in need included in 4.2 does “…not include
an increase that would result in the level of service (for the additional development
increment) exceeding the average level of the service provided in the Municipality over
the 10-year period immediately preceding the preparation of the background study…”
O.Reg. 82.98 (s.4) goes further to indicate that, “…both the quantity and quality of a
Service Total
Fire Protection Services 5,433,091
Roads and Related Services 20,189,301
Operations Services 798,191
Parking 462,929
Parks Development 1,953,484
Indoor Recreation (1,029,792)
Library 830,462
Administration 382,761
Total 29,020,427
Page 220

H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
service shall be taken into account in determining the level of service and the average
level of service.”
In many cases, this can be done by establishing a quantity measure in terms of units as
floor area, land area or road length per capita, and a quality measure in terms of the
average cost of providing such units based on replacement costs, engineering
standards or recognized performance measurement systems, depending on
circumstances. When the quantity and quality factor are multiplied together, they
produce a measure of the level of service, which meets the requirements of the Act, i.e.
cost per unit.
The average service level calculation sheets for each service component in the D.C.
calculation are set out in Appendix B.
4.10.2 Reduction for Uncommitted Excess Capacity
Paragraph 5 of s.s.5(1) requires a deduction from the increase in the need for service
attributable to the anticipated development that can be met using the Municipality’s
“excess capacity,” other than excess capacity which is “committed” (discussed above in
4.6).
“Excess capacity” is undefined, but in this case, must be able to meet some or all of the
increase in need for service, in order to potentially represent a deduction. The
deduction of uncommitted excess capacity from the future increase in the need for
service, would normally occur as part of the conceptual planning and feasibility work
associated with justifying and sizing new facilities, e.g. if a road widening to
accommodate increased traffic is not required because sufficient excess capacity is
already available, then widening would not be included as an increase in need, in the
first instance.
4.10.3 Reduction for Benefit to Existing Development
Section 5(1)6 of the D.C.A. provides that, “The increase in the need for service must be
reduced by the extent to which an increase in service to meet the increased need would
benefit existing development.” The general guidelines used to consider benefit to
existing development included the following:
Page 221
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 4-12
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
• the repair or unexpanded replacement of existing assets that are in need of
repair;
• an increase in average service level of quantity or quality (compare water as an
example);
• the elimination of a chronic servicing problem not created by growth; and
• providing services where none previously existed (generally considered for water
or wastewater services).
This step involves a further reduction in the need, by the extent to which such an
increase in service would benefit existing development. The level of services cap in
4.9.1 is related but is not the identical requirement. Sanitary, storm and water trunks
are highly localized to growth areas and can be more readily allocated in this regard
than other services such as services related to a highway, which do not have a fixed
service area.
Where existing development has an adequate service level which will not be tangibly
increased by an increase in service, no benefit would appear to be involved. For
example, where expanding existing library facilities simply replicates what existing
residents are receiving, they receive very limited (or no) benefit as a result. On the
other hand, where a clear existing service problem is to be remedied, a deduction
should be made accordingly.
In the case of services such as recreation facilities, community parks, libraries, etc., the
service is typically provided on a City-wide system basis. For example, facilities of the
same type may provide different services (i.e. leisure pool vs. competitive pool),
different programs (i.e. hockey vs. figure skating) and different time availability for the
same service (i.e. leisure skating available on Wednesday in one arena and Thursday in
another). As a result, residents will travel to different facilities to access the services
they want at the times they wish to use them, and facility location generally does not
correlate directly with residence location. Even where it does, displacing users from an
existing facility to a new facility frees up capacity for use by others and generally results
in only a very limited benefit to existing development. Further, where an increase in
demand is not met for a number of years, a negative service impact to existing
development is involved for a portion of the planning period.

Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 4-13
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
4.10.4 Reduction for Anticipated Grants, Subsidies, and Other
Contributions
This step involves reducing the capital costs necessary to provide the increased
services by capital grants, subsidies and other contributions made or anticipated by
Council and in accordance with various rules such as the attribution between the share
related to new vs. existing development O.Reg. 82.98, s.6. Where grant programs do
not allow funds to be applied to growth-related capital needs, the proceeds can be
applied to the non-growth share of the project exclusively. Moreover, Gas Tax
revenues are typically used to fund non-growth-related works or the non-growth share
of D.C. projects, given that the contribution is not being made in respect of particular
growth-related capital projects.
4.11 Municipal-Wide vs. Area Rating
This step involves determining whether all the subject costs are to be recovered on a
uniform municipal-wide basis or whether some or all are to be recovered on an area-
specific basis. Under the D.C.A., it is now mandatory to “consider” area-rating of
services (providing charges for specific areas and services), however, it is not
mandatory to implement area-rating. Further discussion is provided in section 7.3.8.
4.12 Allocation of Development
This step involves relating the costs involved to anticipated development for each period
under consideration and using allocations between residential and non -residential
development and between one type of development and another, to arrive at a schedule
of charges.

5. Development Charge Eligible Cost Analysis by
Service
This chapter outlines the basis for calculating development charge eligible costs for the
development charges to be applied. on a uniform basis. The required calculation
process set out in s.5(1) paragraphs 2 to 8 in the D.C.A., 1997, and described in
Chapter 4, was followed in determining D.C. eligible costs.
The nature of the capital projects and timing identified in this chapter reflects Council’s
current intention. However, over time, municipal projects and Council priorities change
and, accordingly, Council’s intentions may be modified, and different capital projects
(and timing) may be required to meet the need for services required by new growth.
5.1 Service Levels and 10-Year Capital Costs for
Municipality-wide D.C. Calculation
This section evaluates the development-related capital requirements for select services
and classes of service over the 10-year planning period (2020-2030). Each service or
class of service component is evaluated on two format sheets: the average historical
10-year level of service calculation (see Appendix B), which “caps” the D.C. amounts;
and the infrastructure cost calculation, which determines the potential D.C. recoverable
cost.
5.1.1 Fire Protection Services
The Municipality currently has five fire stations and space at the Municipal Emergency
Operations Centre in Newcastle. In total these fire facilities supply 43,325 sq.ft. of
building space, providing a per capita average level of service of $229.
The fire department also has a current inventory of vehicles and equipment totalling 38
items. These items include tanker, pumper, aerial, and rescue vehicles, as well as
other support vehicles. The replacement value of these vehicles is $11.1 million and
provides a historical average level of service of $123 per capita.
The Municipality also currently maintains 188 sets of fire fighter equipment. The total
replacement value of the fire equipment and gear is $922,000 and produces a
calculated average level of service of $10 per capita.
Page 225
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 5-2
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
In aggregate, based on the average level of service provided of the 2010-2019 period,
the maximum D.C. eligible amount that could be included in the calculation of the
charge for Fire Protection Services is $10.9 million.
Based on the needs identified in the Municipality’s 2015 D.C. Background Study and
discussions with staff, the Municipality is anticipating constructing a new fire station,
expanding its headquarters, the purchase of additional vehicles and equipment, as well
as undertaking additional studies.
The gross capital costs for the capital program discussed above are $11.5 million. A
benefit to existing deduction of $455,000 has been made. After deducting the
uncommitted reserve fund balance of $5.4 million, a total of $5.6 million in growth-
related Fire Protection Services needs have been included in the calculation of the D.C.
The allocation of net growth-related costs for Fire Services between residential and non-
residential development is 82% residential and 18% non-residential based on the
relationship of incremental population and employment growth over the 10-year forecast
period (i.e. 2020-2030).
5.1.2 Parks and Recreation Services
The Municipality currently maintains 164.59 hectares of developed parkland and 20.2
kilometres of recreational trails within its jurisdiction. Furthermore, the Municipality
provides a variety of amenities in its parks and operates 470,072 square feet of indoor
recreation facility space. In addition, the Municipality also provides 16,949 square feet
of parks operations and washroom facility space.
The Municipality maintains these assets using a fleet of 43 pieces of large equipment
and vehicles. The Municipality’s level of service over the historical 10-year period
averaged $2,316 per capita. At the direction of the Municipality, and consistent with the
Municipality’s current D.C. policy, the quantity of assets in service for which committed
excess capacity is included in the anticipated capital needs, have been excluded from
the calculation of the historical level of service. In total, the maximum D.C.-eligible
amount for parks and recreation services over the 10-year forecast period is
approximately $69.8 million based on the established level of service standards.
The 10-year capital needs for Parks and Recreation services to accommodate growth
have a total gross capital cost of approximately $160.8 million. These capital needs
Page 226
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 5-3
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
include the development of additional parkland and indoor recreation space, as well as
studies including a Parks Needs Study. A deduction of $36.1 million has been applied
to reflect the benefit to growth beyond the 10-year forecast period. Another deduction
of $46.1 million has been applied to reflect the benefit to existing development. After
deducting the uncommitted reserve fund balance of approximately $994,100, the
resultant in net growth-related capital costs for inclusion in the calculation of the D.C.s
total $77.6 million.
As the predominant users of parks and recreation services tend to be residents of the
Municipality, the forecast growth-related costs have been allocated 100% to residential
development, consistent with the Municipality’s current D.C. policy.
5.1.3 Library Services
Library services are provided by the Municipality through the provision of 44,261 sq.ft. of
facility space and approximately 311,503 library collection material items. The average
level of service provided over the historical 10-year period based on this inventory is
$356 per capita. At the direction of the Municipality, and consistent with the
Municipality’s current D.C. policy, the quantity of assets in service for which committed
excess capacity is included in the anticipated capital needs, have been excluded from
the calculation of the historical level of service. When applied to the anticipated
development over the forecast period, the per capita level of service produces a
maximum D.C. eligible amount for Library Services of $10.7 million that could be
included in the calculation of the charge.
The gross capital costs for Library Services included in the D.C. calculation for the 10-
year forecast period total $11.1 million. The capital cost estimates include additional
collection materials, additional facility space, studies, and recovery of the financing
costs for the Courtice Branch debenture. $25,000 (50%) was deducted from the costs
for the Library and Museum Strategic Plan reflecting the costs associated with the
Museum, a service which is not eligible for D.C. funding per the D.C.A. A total
deduction of $36,900 in capital costs has been provided reflecting the benefits of the
studies to existing development. After deducting approximately $830,500 for the
uncommitted D.C. reserve fund balances, the net D.C. recoverable costs included in the
calculation of the charge totals $10.2 million.
Page 227
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 5-4
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
Similar to Parks and Recreation Services, as the predominant users of library services
tend to be residents of the Municipality, and to be consistent with the Municipality’s
current D.C. policy, the forecast growth-related costs have been allocated 100% to
residential development.
5.1.4 Growth Studies
The D.C.A. permits the inclusion of studies undertaken to facilitate the completion of the
Municipality’s capital works program. As discussed in Section 4.7, these studies have
been allocated as a class of services based on each service to which the study relates.
For planning related studies, a deduction of 10% has been applied to recognize the
extent to which the studies relate to non-D.C.-eligible services. All studies have been
allocated to the classes of services in the following manner:
• Services Related to a Highway – 58.1%
• Fire Protection Services – 3.0%
• Parks and Recreation Services – 36.0%
• Library Services – 2.9%
The following provides a list of the studies included in the calculations:
• Architectural Design Guidelines Update
• Bowmanville GO Station
• Commercial Policy Review
• Courtice GO Station
• Courtice Waterfront implementation Design
• Development Charges Background Studies
• Heritage Study
• Industrial Employment Lands Policy review
• Intensification Guidelines
• Landscape and amenities design guidelines
• Municipal Secondary Plans and Plan Reviews
• Municipal Secondary Plan Implementation - Block plans (MCR)
• Municipal Secondary Plan Updates (MCR)
• Official Plan Review
• On-going DC Consulting and Legal Advice
Page 228
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 5-5
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
• Other Official Plan Implementation Studies/ Master Plans
• Population/Employment Demographic Update
• Service Review Study
• Subwatershed Studies
• Zoning By-Law
The cost of these studies is $6.0 million of which $1.5 million is attributable to existing
benefit. A deduction of $570,000 has been made to recognize the portion of planning
studies related to D.C.-ineligible services, as mentioned above. The existing reserve
fund balance of $382,800 has been deducted resulting in a net D.C.-eligible cost of $3.6
million to be included in the calculations.
For Services Related to a Highway and Fire Protection Services, the costs have been
allocated 82% to residential and 18% non-residential development based on
incremental growth in population to employment for the 10 -year forecast period. For
Library Services and Parks and Recreation Services, the costs have been alloca ted
100% to residential development since the predominant users of the services tend to be
residents of the Municipality.

5.2 Service Levels and 11-Year Capital Costs for
Municipality-wide D.C. Calculation
5.2.1 Services Related to a Highway
The Municipality has a current inventory of 268.35 kilometres of arterial and collector
roads. This historical level of infrastructure investment equates to a $6,901 per capita
level of service. When applied to the forecast population growth to 2031 (i.e. 35,340
population), a maximum D.C.-eligible cost of approximately $243.9 million could be
expected to meet the future increase in needs for service.
The Municipality’s utilizes 50,837 square feet of facility space, operates a fleet of 99
vehicles and equipment items to maintain its road network. In this regard, a historical
average level of service of $244 per capita has been provided, resulting in a D.C.-
eligible cap of approximately $8.6 million.
The review of the Municipality’s roads and related needs for the forecast period
identified $224.0 million in gross capital costs. These capital needs include various
road projects, studies, and recovery of the Green Road debenture . $31.9 million has
been deducted in recognition of the benefit to existing development, while
approximately $558,000 has been deducted to account for developer contributions per
the Municipality’s local service policy or contributions from the Ministry of
Transportation. After deducting $20.9 million in recognition of the uncommitted reserve
fund balance, $170.5 million in net D.C. eligible costs have been included in the D.C.
calculation.
The net growth-related costs have been allocated between future residential and non-
residential development on the basis of incremental population to employment growth
over the 11-year forecast period (i.e. 83% residential/ 17% non-residential).

5.3 Build-Out Capital Costs for Clarington Technology Park
Area-Specific D.C. Calculation
5.3.1 Stormwater Management Services
The capital program for constructing a S.W.M.F. benefiting of the lands within the
defined Clarington Technology Park consists of quality and quantity control capital
costs. The capital cost estimates for inclusion in calculation of the area-specific D.C.
total $5.5 million. Of these costs $3.0 pertain to quality control capital costs, while $2.5
million pertain to quantity control works.
The net growth-related costs for the quantity control measures will be recovered from all
properties benefitting from quantity control functions of the S.W.M.F. Similarly, the
costs for quality control will be recovered from all properties benefitting from quality
control functions of the S.W.M.F.

6. D.C. Calculation
Table 6-1 shows the D.C. calculation for Services Related to a Highway to be imposed
on development in the Municipality over the 11-year (i.e. 2020-2031) forecast period.
Table 6-2 presents the calculation of the D.C.s to be imposed for all remaining services
except Stormwater Management Services, to be imposed on development in the
Municipality over the 10-year (2020-2030) forecast period. Table 6-3 present the D.C.
calculation for Stormwater Management Services in the Clarington Technology Park
Catchment Area.
The calculation for residential development is generated on a per capita basis and is
based upon four forms of housing types (single and semi-detached, apartments 2+
bedrooms, apartments bachelor and 1-bedroom, and other multiples).
The non-residential D.C. for Services Related to a Highway has been calculated on a
per square metre of G.F.A. basis for industrial development and non-industrial
development. The non-residential D.C. for the remaining services has been calculated
uniformly on a per square metre of G.F.A. basis. The D.C. for Stormwater Management
Services has been calculated on a per net hectare (i.e. excludes land for future right-of-
ways, channels etc.) basis for quality and quantity control measures based on the
identified benefitting land area as shown in Figure 3 -3 of this report.
Table 6-4 summarizes the recommended schedule of charges, reflecting the maximum
D.C.s by residential dwelling type and non-residential G.F.A. for Municipal-wide
services. Summarized in Table 6-5 are the calculated maximum D.C.s that could be
imposed by Council for Stormwater Management Services in the Clarington Technology
Park Area.
Table 6-6 and 6-7 compare the Municipal-wide existing charges to the charges
proposed herein (Table 6-4), for a single detached residential dwelling unit and per
square metre of G.F.A. for non-residential development.
The calculated charges per single-detached dwelling unit are $21,461. The residential
charges for a single detached dwelling unit represent an 1 8% increase (+$3,313) over
the current charges of $18,148.
The calculated charges for industrial developments are $37.73 per square metre of
G.F.A., representing an 8% decrease compared to the current charges of $40.72. The
Page 247
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 6-2
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
calculated D.C.s for non-industrial development are $107.30 per square metre of non-
industrial G.F.A. representing a 43% increase from the current charges of $75.04.

7. D.C. Policy Recommendations and D.C. Policy
Rules
7.1 Introduction
This chapter outlines the D.C. policy recommendations and by-law rules.
s.s.5(1)9 states that rules must be developed:
“...to determine if a development charge is payable in any particular case
and to determine the amount of the charge, subject to the limitations set
out in subsection 6.”
Paragraph 10 of subsection 5(1) goes on to state that the rules may provide for
exemptions, phasing in and/or indexing of D.C.s.
s.s.5(6) establishes the following restrictions on the rules:
• the total of all D.C.s that would be imposed on anticipated development must not
exceed the capital costs determined under 5(1) 2-8 for all services involved;
• if the rules expressly identify a type of development, they must not provide for it
to pay D.C.s that exceed the capital costs that arise from the increase in the
need for service for that type of development; however, this requirement does not
relate to any particular development;
• if the rules provide for a type of development to have a lower D.C. than is
allowed, the rules for determining D.C.s may not provide for any resulting
shortfall to be made up via other development; and
• with respect to “the rules,” subsection 6 states that a D.C. by-law must expressly
address the matters referred to above re s.s.5(1) para. 9 and 10, as well as how
the rules apply to the redevelopment of land.
The rules provided are based on the Municipality’s existing policies; with consideration
for the updates from Bill 108 and Bill 197. However, there are items under
consideration at this time and these may be refined prior to adoption of the by -law.

Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 7-2
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
7.2 D.C. By-law Structure
It is recommended that:
• the Municipality uses a uniform municipal-wide D.C. calculation for all municipal-
wide services and two area-specific charges for Stormwater Management
Services within the defined Clarington Technology Park Area;
• one municipal D.C. by-law be used for all municipal-wide services; and
• one municipal D.C. by-law be used for Stormwater Management Services within
the Clarington Park Technology Area.
7.3 D.C. By-law Rules
The following sets out the recommended rules governing the calculation, payment and
collection of D.C.s in accordance with subsection 6 of the D.C.A.
It is recommended that the following provides the basis for the D.C.s:
7.3.1 Payment in any Particular Case
In accordance with the D.C.A., s.2(2), a D.C. be calculated, payable and collected
where the development requires one or more of the following:
a) the passing of a zoning by-law or of an amendment to a zoning by-law under
Section 34 of the Planning Act;
b) the approval of a minor variance under Section 45 of the Planning Act;
c) a conveyance of land to which a by-law passed under Section 50(7) of the
Planning Act applies;
d) the approval of a plan of subdivision under Section 51 of the Planning Act;
e) a consent under Section 53 of the Planning Act;
f) the approval of a description under Section 50 of the Condominium Act; or
g) the issuing of a building permit under the Building Code Act in relation to a
building or structure.

Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 7-3
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
7.3.2 Determination of the Amount of the Charge
The following conventions be adopted:
1. Costs allocated to residential uses will be assigned to different types of residential
units based on the average occupancy for each housing type constructed during the
previous decade. Costs allocated to non-residential uses will be assigned to
industrial and non-industrial (commercial and institutional) uses based on the
forecast employment by development type.
2. Costs allocated to residential and non-residential uses are based upon a number of
conventions, as may be suited to each municipal circumstance. These are
summarized in Chapter 5 herein.
7.3.3 Application to Redevelopment of Land (Demolition and
Conversion)
If a development involves the demolition and replacement of a building or structure on
the same site, or the conversion from one principal use to another, the developer shall
be allowed a credit equivalent to:
1. the number of dwelling units demolished/converted multiplied by the applicable
residential development charge in place at the time the development charge is
payable; and/or
2. the gross floor area of the building demolished/converted multiplied by the current
non-residential development charge in place at the time the development charge is
payable.
The demolition credit for municipal-wide services is allowed only if the land was
improved by occupied structures, and if the demolition permit related to the site was
issued less than 60 months (5 years) prior to the issuance of a building permit.
Redevelopment credits for the Stormwater Management area-specific D.C.s will only be
granted where D.C.s have been paid under the Stormwater Management area-specific
D.C. by-law.
The credit can, in no case, exceed the amount of development charges that would
otherwise be payable.
Page 255
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 7-4
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
For redevelopment of brownfield, credits equal to the costs of assessment and cleanup
are allowed. The credits provided cannot exceed the total charges otherwise payable.
Furthermore, no credits will be provided for the development of gas stations on
brownfield lands.
If the redevelopment involves the relocation of a heritage building to a new lot, the
D.C.s. paid for the heritage building will be refunded upon re-designation on new lot.
No credits would be provided for development on the original lot.
7.3.4 Exemptions (full or partial)
Statutory exemptions
• Industrial building additions of up to and including 50% of the existing G.F.A.
(defined in O.Reg. 82/98, s.1) of the building; for industrial building additions

transition policy has been proposed.
Page 257
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 7-6
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
7.3.6 Timing of Collection
The D.C.s for all services are payable upon issuance of a building permit for each
dwelling unit, building, or structure, subject to early or late payment agreements entered
into by the Municipality and an owner under s.27 of the D.C.A., 1997.
Commencing January 1, 2020, rental housing and institutional developments will pay
D.C.s in six equal annual payments commencing at occupancy. Non-profit housing
developments will pay D.C.s in 21 equal annual payments. Moreover, the D.C. amount
for all developments occurring within 2 years of a Site Plan or Zoning By-law
Amendment planning approval (for application submitted after this section is
proclaimed), shall be determined based on the D.C. charge in effect on the day of Site
Plan or Zoning By-law Amendment application.
Installment payments and payments determined at the time of Site Plan or Zoning
Bylaw Amendment application are subject to annual interest charges as outlined in the
Municipality’s Interest Rate Policy.
For the purposes of administering the By-law, the following definitions are provided as
per O.Reg. 454-19:
“Rental housing” means development of a building or structure with four or more
dwelling units all of which are intended for use as rented residential premises.

c)a non-profit housing co-operative that is in good standing under the Co-operative
Corporations Act.
7.3.7 Indexing
All D.C.s will be subject to mandatory indexing annually on July 1st, in accordance with
provisions under the D.C.A.
7.3.8 D.C. Spatial Applicability
The D.C.A. historically has provided the opportunity for a municipality to impose
municipal-wide charges or area specific charges. Sections 2(7) and 2(8) of the D.C.A.
provide that a D.C. by-law may apply to the entire municipality or only part of it and
more than one D.C. by-law may apply to the same area. Amendments to the D.C.A.
now require municipalities to consider the application of municipal-wide and area-
specific D.C.s. s.10(2)(c.1) requires Council to consider the use of more than one D.C.
by-law to reflect different needs from services in different areas. Most municipalities in
Ontario have established uniform, municipal-wide D.C.s. When area-specific charges
are used, it is generally to underpin master servicing and front-end financing
arrangements for more localized capital costs.
Page 259
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 7-8
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
Based on the foregoing and discussions with Municipality staff, area-specific D.C.s are
suitable for Stormwater Management Services. The recommendations are:
• to continue to apply municipal-wide D.C.s for Growth Studies, Services Related
to a Highway, Fire Protection, Library, and Parks and Recreation Services; and
• apply an area-specific D.C.s for Stormwater Management Services within the
Clarington Technology Park.
7.4 Other D.C. By-law Provisions
7.4.1 Categories of Services for Reserve Fund and Credit Purposes
It is recommended that the Municipality’s D.C. collections be contributed into seven (7)
separate reserve funds, including:
• Municipal-wide
o Services Related to a Highway;
o Fire Protection Services;
o Parks and Recreation Services;
o Library Service;
o Growth-Related Studies;
• Area-Specific
o Stormwater Management Services – Quality Control; and
o Stormwater Management Services – Quantity Control.
7.4.2 By-law In-force Date
The proposed by-law under D.C.A. will come into force on the date of by-law passage.
7.4.3 Minimum Interest Rate Paid on Refunds and Charged for Inter -
Reserve Fund Borrowing
The minimum interest rate is the Bank of Canada rate on the day on which the by-law
comes into force (as per s.11 of O.Reg. 82/98).
7.5 Other Recommendations
It is recommended that Council:
Page 260
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 7-9
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
“Approve the capital project listing set out in Chapter 5 of the D.C. Background
Study dated October 15, 2020, subject to further annual review during the capital
budget process;”
“Approve the D.C. Background Study dated October 15, 2020"
“Determine that no further public meeting is required;” and
“Approve the D.C. By-laws as set out in Appendices E and F.”

Asset Management Plan
Page 262
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 8-1
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
8. Asset Management Plan
The D.C.A. (new section 10(c.2)) requires that the background study must include an
Asset Management Plan (A.M.P) related to new infrastructure. Section 10 (3) of the
D.C.A. provides:
The A.M.P. shall,
a) deal with all assets whose capital costs are proposed to be funded under
the development charge by-law;
b) demonstrate that all the assets mentioned in clause (a) are financially
sustainable over their full life cycle;
c) contain any other information that is prescribed; and
d) be prepared in the prescribed manner.
At a broad level, the A.M.P. provides for the long-term investment in an asset over its
entire useful life along with the funding. The schematic below identifies the costs for an
asset through its entire lifecycle. For growth-related works, the majority of capital costs
will be funded by the D.C. Non-growth-related expenditures will then be funded from
non-D.C. revenues as noted below. During the useful life of the asset, there will be
minor maintenance costs to extend the life of the asset along with additional program
related expenditures to provide the full services to the residents. At the end of the li fe of
the asset, it will be replaced by non-D.C. financing sources.
In 2012, the Province developed Building Together: Guide for Municipal Asset
Management Plans which outlines the key elements for an A.M.P., as follows:
State of local infrastructure: asset types, quantities, age, condition, financial
accounting valuation and replacement cost valuation.
Desired levels of service: defines levels of service through performance measures
and discusses any external trends or issues that may affect expected l evels of service
or the municipality’s ability to meet them (for example, new accessibility standards,
climate change impacts).
Page 263
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 8-2
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
Asset management strategy: the asset management strategy is the set of planned
actions that will seek to generate the desired levels of service in a sustainable way,
while managing risk, at the lowest lifecycle cost.
Financing strategy: having a financial plan is critical for putting an A.M.P. into action.
By having a strong financial plan, municipalities can also demonstrate that they have
made a concerted effort to integrate the A.M.P. with financial planning and municipal
budgeting, and are making full use of all available infrastructure financing tools.
The above provides for the general approach to be considered by Ontario
municipalities. At this time, there is not a mandated approach for municipalities hence
leaving discretion to individual municipalities as to how they plan for the long -term
replacement of their assets. The Municipality recently completed it’s A.M.P. (2017),
however, this A.M.P. did not include all the assets identified in this background study.
As a result, the asset management requirement for this D.C. Background Study has
been undertaken independently of the 2017 A.M.P.

In recognition to the schematic in Section 8.1, the following table (presented in 2020$)
has been developed to provide the annualized expenditures and revenues associated
with new growth. Note that the D.C.A. does not require an analysis of the non -D.C.
capital needs or their associated operating costs so these are omitted from the table
below. Furthermore, as only the present infrastructure gap has been considered at this
time within the A.M.P., the following does not represent a fiscal impact assessment
(including future tax/rate increases) but provides insight into the potential affordability of
the new assets:
1. The non-D.C. recoverable portion of the projects which will require financing from
Municipality financial resources (i.e. taxation, rates, fees, etc.). This amount has
been presented on an annual debt charge amount based on 20-year financing.
2. Lifecycle costs for the 2020 D.C. capital works have been presented based on a
sinking fund basis. The assets have been considered over their estimated useful
lives.
3. Incremental operating costs for the D.C. services (only) have been included.
4. The resultant total annualized expenditures are $29.7 million.
5. Consideration was given to the potential new taxation and user fee revenues
which will be generated as a result of new growth. These revenues will be
available to finance the expenditures above. The new operating revenues are
$24.5 million. This amount, totalled with the existing operating revenues of
$120.8 million, provides annual revenues of $145.3 million by the end of the
period.
6. In consideration of the above, the capital plan is deemed to be financially
sustainable.

Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 9-1
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
9. By-law Implementation
9.1 Public Consultation Process
9.1.1 Introduction
This chapter addresses the mandatory, formal public consultation process (Section
9.1.2), as well as the optional, informal consultation process (Section 9.1.3). The latter
is designed to seek the co-operation and participation of those involved, in order to
produce the most suitable policy. Section 9.1.4 addresses the anticipated impact of the
D.C. on development from a generic viewpoint.
9.1.2 Public Meeting of Council
Section 12 of the D.C.A. indicates that before passing a D.C. by-law, Council must hold
at least one public meeting, giving at least 20 clear days’ notice thereof, in accordance
with the Regulation. Council must also ensure that the proposed by-law and
background report are made available to the public at least two weeks prior to the (first)
meeting.
Any person who attends such a meeting may make representations related to the
proposed by-law.
If a proposed by-law is changed following such a meeting, Council must determine
whether a further meeting (under this section) is necessary (i.e. if the proposed by -law
which is proposed for adoption has been changed in any respect, Council should
formally consider whether an additional public meeting is required, incorporating this
determination as part of the final by-law or associated resolution). It is noted that
Council’s decision regarding additional public meetings, once made, is final and not
subject to review by a Court or the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (L.P.A.T.) (formerly
the Ontario Municipal Board (O.M.B.)).
9.1.3 Other Consultation Activity
There are three broad groupings of the public who are generally the most concerned
with Municipal D.C. policy:
Page 268
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 9-2
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
1. The first grouping is the residential development community, consisting of land
developers and builders, who are typically responsible for generating the majority
of the D.C. revenues. Others, such as realtors, are directly impacted by D.C.
policy. They are, therefore, potentially interested in all aspects of the charge,
particularly the quantum by unit type, projects to be funded by the D.C. and the
timing thereof, and Municipal policy with respect to development agreements,
D.C. credits and front-ending requirements.
2. The second public grouping embraces the public at large and includes taxpayer
coalition groups and others interested in public policy.
3. The third grouping is the industrial/commercial/institutional development sector,
consisting of land developers and major owners or organizations with significant
construction plans, such as hotels, entertainment complexes, shopping centres,
offices, industrial buildings and institutions. Also involved are organizations such
as Industry Associations, the Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Trade and the
Economic Development Agencies, who are all potentially interested in Municipal
D.C. policy. Their primary concern is frequently with the quantum of the charge,
gross floor area exclusions such as basements, mechanical or indoor parking
areas, or exemptions and phase-in or capping provisions in order to moderate
the impact.
9.2 Anticipated Impact of the Charge on Development
The establishment of sound D.C. policy often requires the achievement of an
acceptable balance between two competing realities. The first is that high non -
residential D.C.s can, to some degree, represent a barrier to increased economic
activity and sustained industrial/commercial growth, particularly for capital intensive
uses. Also, in many cases, increased residential D.C.s can ultimately be expected to be
recovered via higher housing prices and can impact project feasibility in some cases
(e.g. rental apartments).
On the other hand, D.C.s or other Municipal capital funding sources need to be obtained
in order to help ensure that the necessary infrastructure and amenities are installed.
The timely installation of such works is a key initiative in providing adequate service
levels and in facilitating strong economic growth, investment and wealth generation.

H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
9.3 Implementation Requirements
9.3.1 Introduction
Once the Municipality has calculated the charge, prepared the complete background
study, carried out the public process and passed a new by-law, the emphasis shifts to
implementation matters.
These include notices, potential appeals and complaints, credits, front -ending
agreements, subdivision agreement conditions and finally the collection of revenues and
funding of projects.
The sections which follow overview the requirements in each case.
9.3.2 Notice of Passage
In accordance with s.13 of the D.C.A., when a D.C. by-law is passed, the Municipal
clerk shall give written notice of the passing and of the last day for appealing the by -law
(the day that is 40 days after the day it was passed). Such notice must be given no
later than 20 days after the day the by-law is passed (i.e. as of the day of newspaper
publication or the mailing of the notice).
Section 10 of O.Reg. 82/98 further defines the notice requirements which are
summarized as follows:
• notice may be given by publication in a newspaper which is (in the Clerk’s
opinion) of sufficient circulation to give the public reasonable notice, or by
personal service, fax or mail to every owner of land in the area to which the by-
law relates;
• s.s.10(4) lists the persons/organizations who must be given notice; and
• s.s.10(5) lists the eight items which the notice must cover.

In addition to the “notice” information, the Municipality must prepare a “pamphlet”
explaining each D.C. by-law in force, setting out:
• a description of the general purpose of the D.C.s;
Page 270
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 9-4
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
• the “rules” for determining if a charge is payable in a particular case and for
determining the amount of the charge;
• the services to which the D.C.s relate; and
• a general description of the general purpose of the Treasurer’s statement and
where it may be received by the public.
Where a by-law is not appealed to the L.P.A.T., the pamphlet must be readied within 60
days after the by-law comes into force. Later dates apply to appealed by-laws.
The Municipality must give one copy of the most recent pamphlet without charge, to any
person who requests one.
9.3.4 Appeals
Sections 13 to 19 of the D.C.A. set out the requirements relative to making and
processing a D.C. by-law appeal and L.P.A.T. Hearing in response to an appeal. Any
person or organization may appeal a D.C. by-law to the L.P.A.T. by filing a notice of
appeal with the Municipal Clerk, setting out the objection to the by-law and the reasons
supporting the objection. This must be done by the last day for appealing the by -law,
which is 40 days after the by-law is passed.
The Municipality is carrying out a public consultation process, in order to address the
issues that come forward as part of that process, thereby avoiding or reducing the need
for an appeal to be made.
9.3.5 Complaints
A person required to pay a D.C., or his agent, may complain to the Council imposing the
charge that:
• the amount of the charge was incorrectly determined;
• the reduction to be used against the D.C. was incorrectly determined; or
• there was an error in the application of the D.C.
Sections 20 to 25 of the D.C.A. set out the requirements that exist, including the fact
that a complaint may not be made later than 90 days after a D.C. (or any part of it) is
payable. A complainant may appeal the decision of Municipal Council to the L.P.A.T.

H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
9.3.6 Credits
Sections 38 to 41 of the D.C.A. set out a number of credit requirements, which apply
where a Municipality agrees to allow a person to perform work in the future that relates
to a service in the D.C. by-law.
These credits would be used to reduce the amount of D.C.s to be paid. The value of
the credit is limited to the reasonable cost of the work which does not exceed the
average level of service. The credit applies only to the service to which the work
relates, unless the Municipality agrees to expand the credit to other services for which a
D.C. is payable.
9.3.7 Front-Ending Agreements
The Municipality and one or more landowners may enter into a front -ending agreement
which provides for the costs of a project which will benefit an area in the Municipality to
which the D.C. by-law applies. Such an agreement can provide for the costs to be
borne by one or more parties to the agreement who are, in turn, reimbursed in future by
persons who develop land defined in the agreement.
Part III of the D.C.A. (Sections 44 to 58) addresses front-ending agreements and
removes some of the obstacles to their use which were contained in the D.C.A., 1989.
Accordingly, the Municipality assesses whether this mechanism is appropriate for its
use, as part of funding projects prior to Municipality funds being available.
9.3.8 Severance and Subdivision Agreement Conditions
Section 59 of the D.C.A. prevents a municipality from imposing directly or indirectly, a
charge related to development or a requirement to construct a service related to
development, by way of a condition or agreement under s.51 or s.53 of the Planning
Act, except for:
• “local services, related to a plan of subdivision or within the area to which the
plan relates, to be installed or paid for by the owner as a condition of approval
under section 51 of the Planning Act;” and
• “local services to be installed or paid for by the owner as a condition of approval
under section 53 of the Planning Act.”

Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 9-6
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
It is also noted that s.s.59(4) of the D.C.A. requires that the municipal approval a uthority
for a draft plan of subdivision under s.s.51(31) of the Planning Act, use its power to
impose conditions to ensure that the first purchaser of newly subdivided land is
informed of all the D.C.s related to the development, at the time the land is t ransferred.
In this regard, if the Municipality in question is a commenting agency, in order to comply
with subsection 59(4) of the D.C.A. it would need to provide to the approval authority,
information regarding the applicable Municipality D.C.s related to the site.
If the Municipality is an approval authority for the purposes of section 51 of the Planning
Act, it would be responsible to ensure that it collects information from all entities which
can impose a D.C.
The most effective way to ensure that purchasers are aware of this condition would be
to require it as a provision in a registered subdivision agreement, so that any purchaser
of the property would be aware of the charges at the time the title was searched prior to
closing a transaction conveying the lands

Appendix C: Long-Term Capital and Operating
Cost Examination
As a requirement of the D.C.A. under subsection 10(2)(c), an analysis must be
undertaken to assess the long-term capital and operating cost impacts for the capital
infrastructure projects identified within the D.C. As part of th is analysis, it was deemed
necessary to isolate the incremental operating expenditures directly associated with
these capital projects, factor in cost savings attributable to economies of scale or cost
sharing where applicable, and prorate the cost on a pe r unit basis (i.e. sq.ft. of building
space, per vehicle, etc.). This was undertaken through a review of the Municipality’s
2018 Financial Information Return.
In addition to the operational impacts, over time the initial capital projects will require
replacement. This replacement of capital is often referred to as lifecycle cost. By
definition, lifecycle costs are all the costs which are incurred during the life of a physical
asset, from the time its acquisition is first considered, to the time it is tak en out of
service for disposal or redeployment. The method selected for lifecycle costing is the
sinking fund method which provides that money will be contributed annually and
invested, so that those funds will grow over time to equal the amount required for future
replacement.
Table C-1 depicts the annual operating impact resulting from the proposed gross capital
projects at the time they are all in place. It is important to note that, while municipal
program expenditures will increase with growth in population, the costs associated with
the new infrastructure (i.e. facilities) would be delayed until the time these works are in
place.

Appendix D: Local Service Policy
The following provides the Municipality’s local service and developer contribution policy.
1. Roads and Related
a. Roads:
• All roads internal to a development or external to a development on an un -
opened right-of-way and within the area to which the plan relates are a direct
developer responsibility under s.59 of the D.C.A. as a local service up to a
width of ten metres. The incremental cost for roads constructed to a greater
width are included in the road oversizing portion of the D.C. calculations,
excluding property costs;
• Roads external to development lands on existing right-of-way are included in
the D.C. calculations;
• All roads internal to a development are a direct developer responsibility under
s.59 of the D.C.A. as a local service built to a width up to and including ten
metres. Cost for roads constructed to a greater width are included in the road
oversizing portion of the D.C. calculations, excluding property costs;
• All roads external to development lands but with development lot frontage are
included in the D.C. calculations with a reduction for direct developer
contributions of 50% for serviced frontages; and
• Roads within a development or external to the developmen t but related to the
development and within developable lands - are local services and a direct
developer responsibility under s.59 of the D.C.A.
b. Secondary Plans:
• All enhancements to a road internal to a subdivision over and above the
current municipal standard as recommended by a completed secondary plan
for the subject area are local services and are the direct responsibility of the
developer.
c. Traffic Signals and Intersection Improvements:
Page 320
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE D-3
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
• Intersections with Regional Roads - Regional Responsibility if warrants are
met; and Intersection improvements and signalization on other roads due to
development and growth-related traffic increases - included in the D.C.
calculation.
d. Streetlights and Sidewalks:
• Streetlights and sidewalks on Regional Roads - included in the Municipal D.C.
or, in exceptional circumstances, may be direct developer responsibility
through local service provisions (s.59 of D.C.A.); and
• Streetlights and sidewalks on Municipal Roads - linked to road funding
source.
e. Noise Abatement Measures
• Internal to development - direct developer responsibility through local service
provisions (s.59 of D.C.A.);
f. Street Tree Planting
• Street tree planting is considered a local area service and a direct responsibility
of the developer.
g. Land Acquisition for Road Allowances
• Land acquisition for roads - dedication under the Planning Act subdivision
provisions (s.51) through development lands (up to a 26 metre right of way);
in areas with limited or new development maybe include in D.C. calculation
(to the extent eligible); if purchased in advance of dedication costs may be
funded on an interim basis from the D.C. reserve fund with potential future
reimbursement from developer contributions; and
• Land acquisition for grade separations (beyond normal dedicat ion
requirements) - to be included in the Municipality D.C. to the extent eligible.
h. Other Enhancements within the Road Right-of-Way
• If through the Secondary Plan Process, or other similar development approval
process or study, it is determined that enhancements, such as bike lanes,
median landscaping, landscape strips, decorative lighting, or other similar
Page 321
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE D-4
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
works, are deemed necessary for a road, or road segment, that is within, or
related to, a plan of subdivision or within the area to which a plan relate s, the
capital of providing such works are deemed a local service and a direct
developer responsibility under s.59 of the D.C.A.; and
• If these types of works are required on a road, or road segment, that the
Municipality requires to be sized beyond the local collector standard of 10
metres, the Municipality will be responsible for the oversizing cost of the road
structure only, not all or a share of any enhancements.
2. Stormwater Management (S.W.M.) Facilities
The costs of S.W.M.facilities internal to a development plan and related to a
development plan are considered to be a local service under the D.C.A. and the
associated costs are not included in the development charges calculation. Local
S.W.M. facilities would typically include:
• Stormwater management facilities servicing local drainage areas;
• Storm sewer oversizing associated with local drainage areas; and
• Oversized storm sewer works on existing roads.
S.W.M. facilities servicing more than one development plan, may be included in a n
area-specific D.C. by-law subject to local circumstances.
3. Parkland Development
For the purpose of parkland development, local service includes the requirement for
the owner to undertake preparation of a conceptual park plan including proposed
grading to demonstrate that the proposed park size, configuration and topography
will allow for the construction of park facilities to the satisfaction of the Municipality.
In addition, the owner is required to provide the park site graded in accordance with
the park concept plan including storm water servicing. The park site must be fenced
and seeded with a minimum cover of 200mm of topsoil. Servicing such as hydro,
sanitary sewer and water should be stubbed at the property line along the park
frontage.
The Municipality also requires the owner to dedicate parkland or provide cash-in-
lieu, consistent with the Planning Act provisions. All of these costs are deemed a
Page 322
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE D-5
H:\Clarington\2019 DC & CBC\Report\Clarington 2020 DC Background Study - FINAL.docx
direct responsibility of the owner and have not been included in the development
charge calculation.
With respect to other parkland development costs, the municipal policy is to include
all other components of parkland development in the D.C. calculation, including
detailed design and contract administration, finished grading, sodding, park furniture
electrical, water, sanitary sewer, signage, plant material, walkways, play courts,
parking lots, sports fields, playground equipment, water play equipment, recreational
trails, park shelters, lighting, irrigation and field houses.

1. Summary of Revisions to the 2020 Development
Charges Update Study
1.1 Background
Commensurate with the provisions of the Development Charges Act (D.C.A.), 1997, the
Municipality of Clarington (Municipality) has undertaken a Development Charges (D.C.)
background study and has distributed the study to the public. The following provides a
summary of the key dates in the D.C. by-law process:
• Release of the D.C. Update Study – October 15, 2020
• Public Meeting – November 30, 2020; and
• By-law Passage – December 14, 2020
The purpose of this addendum to the October 15, 2020 D.C. Background Study is to
update the capital needs listing for Services Related to a Highway and other minor
housekeeping matters. These changes do not impact the calculation of the charge.
The refinements are detailed in the subsequent sections of this report and will form part
of the D.C. background study for Council’s consideration and approval prior to adoption
of the D.C. by-law. Furthermore, references to the Public Meeting date have been
revised to November 30, 2020 to reflect the scheduling changes after t he release of the
study.
2. Discussion
Subsequent to the issuance of the 2020 D.C. Background Study, it was identified that
the projects shown in Table 1 were omitted from the detailed listing of the costs included
in the D.C. calculation. The costs of these projects were included in the calculation of
the charge as presented in the 2020 D.C. Background Study, however, the projects
were not included in the table titled “Infrastructure Costs Covered in the D.C.
Calculation – Services Related to a Highway”. As a result, the calculated charge will
remain unchanged.

List of Projects for Inclusion in Infrastructure Costs Covered in the D.C. Calculation –
Services Related to a Highway Table
3. Changes to the Background Report
Based on the foregoing, the following revisions are made to the pages within the 2020
D.C. Background Study. Accordingly, the revised pages are appended to this report:
• Page 1-3 – Revised to reflect this addendum;
• Pages 5-15 to 5-19 – Reissued to reflect the changes outlined in Section 2; and
• Page 7-9 – Reissued to reflect the issuance of this addendum.
4. Process for Adoption of the D.C. By-law
The revisions provided herein form the basis for the D.C. by-law and will be
incorporated into the 2020 D.C. Background Study to be provided to Council and the
general public prior to the public meeting on November 30, 2020 and Council’s
consideration and adoption of the proposed D.C. By-Law.
If Council is satisfied with the above-noted changes to the D.C. background study and
D.C. by-law, then prior to by-law passage Council must:
• Approve the 2020 D.C. Background Study, as amended;
• Determine that no further public meetings are required on the matter; and
• Adopt the new D.C. By-Laws.

5.2 Service Levels and 11-Year Capital Costs for
Municipality-wide D.C. Calculation
5.2.1 Services Related to a Highway
The Municipality has a current inventory of 268.35 kilometres of arterial and collector
roads. This historical level of infrastructure investment equates to a $6,901 per capita
level of service. When applied to the forecast population growth to 2031 (i.e. 35,340
population), a maximum D.C.-eligible cost of approximately $243.9 million could be
expected to meet the future increase in needs for service.
The Municipality’s utilizes 50,837 square feet of facility space, operates a fleet of 99
vehicles and equipment items to maintain its road network. In this regard, a historical
average level of service of $244 per capita has been provided, resulting in a D.C.-
eligible cap of approximately $8.6 million.
The review of the Municipality’s roads and related needs for the forecast period
identified $224.0 million in gross capital costs. These capital needs include various
road projects, studies, and recovery of the Green Road debenture . $31.9 million has
been deducted in recognition of the benefit to existing development, while
approximately $558,000 has been deducted to account for developer contributions per
the Municipality’s local service policy or contributions from the Ministry of
Transportation. After deducting $20.9 million in recognition of the uncommitted reserve
fund balance, $170.5 million in net D.C. eligible costs have been included in the D.C.
calculation.
The net growth-related costs have been allocated between future residential and non-
residential development on the basis of incremental population to employment growth
over the 11-year forecast period (i.e. 83% residential/ 17% non-residential).

DRHBA would like to thank Municipality of Clarington staff and Watson & Associates for releasing
the background study on the Clarington DC update.
The Association is working with a group of stakeholders that own land in the Municipality of
Clarington to review the information provided in the background study. To that end, DRHBA has
retained Altus Group to do a review of study. Please see the attached memorandum from Altus Group

Subject:Durham Hospice Clarington Comments on Clarington's Proposed DC By-law and
Underlying Background Study
Attachments:2020 Development Charges Background Study Municipality of Clarington.docx
EXTERNAL
Good Morning Trevor (Director of Finance/Treasurer, Municipality of Clarington):
I hope you and your family are keeping well and staying healthy!
As with most charitable organizations, 2020 has been a trying time to raise monies for our Durham Hospice
Clarington project. With the Public Meeting taking place on Monday, November 30 on the Municipality's
proposed development charge by-law, our Board would like to have consideration for:
•an exemption to the proposed development charges by-law. A precedent has been set in Durham
Region with the Town of Whitby's By-law #7255-17 which was passed by Whitby Council March 20,
2017. I have reviewed the 2020 Development Charges Background Study, Municipality of Clarington,
dated October 15, 2020. I have attached which I have found to be relevant points. Chapter 7, D.C.
Policy Recommendation and D.C. Policy Rules, under Non-statutory exemptions, Municipal-
Wide D.C. By-law, Full Exemption is granted to "Buildings used for research purposes located in the
Clarington Science Park or the Clarington Energy Park" which may align with "Colleges or universities
as defined in section 171.1 of the Education Act, 1990". We are grateful that hospice has been
recognized and given a definition in the DC Background Study, e) as a hospice to provide end of life
care, hospice has been categorized under "Institutional Development". As "Hospitals as defined in
section 1 of the Public Hospitals Act, 1990" receive a full exemption, it is in our opinion that as hospices
are a continuum of healthcare and also that we are recognized and receive some funding from the
Government of Ontario Ministry of Health, we should also receive the same consideration.
Using the current Municipality of Clarington DC By-law 2015-035, the local DC charges would be
approximately $ 111,368.93. For rough calculation the 2020 Growth And Tax Levy. ▫ 1% = $598,227.
This exemption would equate to about 0.20% of the tax levy.
Will this email suffice as the Durham Hospice Clarington Board input on the Municipality's proposed
development charge (D.C.) by-law and underlying background study and/or should we also make
representation at the Public Meeting?
Best regards
Willie Woo
Director, Durham Hospice Clarington Board
