My neighbour lives at 85 Prospect St. and his daughter and son-in-law live at 76 Prospect St. My neighbour and his daughter and son-in-law gather on his front porch at 85 Prospect every evening after dinner approximately 530 till about 730 and visit as soon as the weather is nice in spring until late in the fall. At this time they are continually attracting seagulls by throwing bread and various other foods like french fries, they even feed them by hand, it is a nightly hobby! Consequently my driveway, home, deck and brand new car are splattered with seagull droppings. It is like clockwork every evening the birds show up and circle the surrounding homes to reap the benefits. I am constantly having to clean my car, scrub my deck and scrub my driveway. The uric acid in bird droppings is corrosive and will harm the paint on my car, not to mention my dog walks in it and then comes in the house! The bird droppings are a breeding ground for disease carrying parasites that can spread disease. The same birds also eat out of garbage pails and dumpsters which means that they spread harmful bacteria. My neighbour is quite aware of my dissatisfaction with his activity and doesn't seem to care because this habit is continuing on a daily basis. I am asking for this to be stopped. I am asking for a By -Law to be passed in Clarington to prevent the feeding of seagulls in residential areas. Respectfully Submitted, Janet Moher Page 18 Tyrone Community Centre Minutes of Meeting —January 20th, 2021, 7:30pm Attendees: Danielle Carroll Kyle Young Alvina Hare Marlene Raby Joy Vaneyk Lyndsay Luckhardt Marlene Craig Greg Carroll Corinna Traill Steve Hutchinson Regrets: Justin Vachon Corinne vandeGrootheveen Dave Taylor Brian Glaspell Paul Rowan Larry Quinney Cecile Bowers Dianne Woodley 1.

To: Mayor and Members of Council From: Stephen Brake, Director of Public Works Date: March 29, 2021 File No.: RR.60.42 Re: Whistle Cessation Update — Cobbledick Road and Bennett Road Railway Safety Improvement Program Application Funding Status During the July 6-7, 2020 Council meeting, Council passed resolution #C-349-20 directing Staff to report back with potential funding options pertaining to safety improvements at the Cobbledick Road and Bennett Road CN Rail grade level railway crossings in the pursuit of whistle cessation at these crossings. As part of this resolution, Council directed Public Works Staff to submit a Rail Safety Improvement Program — Infrastructure, Technology and Research (RSIP-ITR) funding Application to Transport Canada for the proposed safety improvements that would need to be implemented. Public Works Staff submitted an application to the Program on July 31 st, 2020. The application was seeking contribution funding in the amount of 80% of works that would remain Municipal assets and 50% of works that remain railway assets. As per the preliminary design cost estimate that was completed in support of the application, contribution funding of approximately $697,000 was requested as eligible expenses under the RSIP-ITR program. Staff had requested funding over a 2-year period due to the substantial amount of coordination that will be required with CN Rail and the overall amount of work required. This was to provide a sufficient buffer in the project's lifecycle to mitigate risk of not meeting constrained RSIP timelines and of lapsed funding. On March 22, 2021 Public Works Staff received notice from Transport Canada that the application for this project was not successful and that the Municipality would not be receiving any funding for the proposed improvements. A copy of the e-mail notice received has been appended to this memo for information. The RSIP-ITR application for projects for the 2022-2023 implementation period is currently open with an application deadline of August 1, 2021. The 2021 Budget that was passed included funding in the amount of $1,194,000 in addition to the approximate $140,000 that remains from the 2020 Budget. From the 2021 Budget amount, $497,000 was to be funded from Rate Stabilization while the remaining $697,000 was contingent on being a successful recipient from the RSIP-ITR program. With the majority of funding having not been received, Public Works Staff are unable to advance this project as per the previous implementation timeline. It is Public Works' intention to resubmit The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington, 40 Temperance Street, Bowmanville, ON L1 C 3A6 1-800-563-1195 1 Local:905-623-3379 1 info@clarington.net I www.clarington.net Page 23 Page 2 the project application for 2022-2023 RSIP-ITR funding and it is anticipated that successful applications would be notified in Spring 2022. It is respectfully requested that Council provide Staff with confirmation to continue to pursue contributions for this project under the 2022-2023 RSIP-ITR funding cycle OR that Council decide if alternative funding arrangements should be approved in the interest of time OR if the pursuit of whistle cessation at the grade level crossings at Bennett Road and Cobbledick Road should be removed from the 2021 Budget and the allocated Rate Stabilization funding released. Should you have any questions or need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

To: Mayor and Members of Council From: Stephen Brake, Director of Public Works Date: March 29, 2021 Re: Signalization of Highway 401 ramps at Duke Street and Baseline Road At the regular General Government Committee meeting held on Monday, February 16, 2021, Council considered the option of investigating the full closure of the Highway 401 westbound on -ramp at Duke Street and Baseline Road in Bowmanville. As outlined in staff's earlier correspondence, the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has expressed concerns with the proposal due to the upcoming maintenance work that has been scheduled along Highway 401 as well as the planning process currently underway for the Lambs Road and Bennett Road interchanges. As a result, further investigation of the proposal to close the westbound ramp would require the completion of a full traffic impact study at an estimated cost of $100,000. After considering the option, Council passed resolution # GG-175-21 that instead referred the matter back to staff to investigate the possibility of installing traffic lights at the intersection. Although jurisdictional ownership and right-of-way responsibility for the intersection was transferred to Clarington prior to 2010, this form of traffic control represents a significant change to the transportation network that would require the support of both the Region of Durham and the MTO. The responses received from the Transportation Departments at both levels that dismisses the signalization proposal are outlined as follows: Region of Durham Response Traffic control signals are not recommended at the Highway 401 westbound on/off ramp at Duke Street. The approximate 110 meters (centre line to centre line) spacing between Liberty Street and the Highway 401 WB on/off ramp is significantly less than the minimum distance of 215 meters recommended in Book 12 of the Ontario Traffic Manual. The reduced distance will not allow motorists travelling eastbound or westbound on Baseline Road sufficient time to recognize and react to each device. In addition, the approximate 80 meters of distance between stop bars would not accommodate left turn queues, let alone back to back left turn queues. Storage for vehicles would spill back into the through lane and impede traffic flow and safe access to the commercial property that is located on the north side of Baseline Road. It is likely that queues would also spill through the Liberty Street intersection creating a bottleneck. The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington, 40 Temperance Street, Bowmanville, ON L1 C 3A6 1-800-563-1195 1 Local:905-623-3379 1 info@clarington.net I www.clarington.net Page 26 Page 2 MTO Response The MTO does not permit the installation of unwarranted traffic signals. The latest traffic count analysis from 2017 for Duke Street at Baseline Road does not meet the minimum requirements in Book 12 of the Ontario Traffic Manual. The MTO typically conducts traffic counts every three years, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 review was postponed. The MTO plans to update their traffic counts in the near future. Staff have confidence that the responses provided by the Region of Durham and the MTO are valid and appropriate. Staff will, however, continue to review and consider other options that may help improve traffic flow and vehicular safety at the Highway 401, Baseline Road and Duke Street intersection. Unless otherwise directed by Council, it is respectfully recommended that the status quo be maintained at this time.

To: Mayor and Members of Council From: Andy Allison, CAO Date: March 29, 2021 Re: Community Funding Program At its November 2, 2020 meeting, Council passed the following Resolution (#C-436-20): That Report CSD-009-20 be received; That the Community Funding Program, as outlined in Attachment 1 of Report CSD-009-20, be approved; That Council direct staff to review applications and recommend funding to the CAO for approval following the recommendations made by the Funding Review Committee; That staff report annually to Council with the details on the funding provided to the community agencies; and That all interested parties listed in Report CSD-009-20 and any delegations be advised of Council's decision. I am pleased to attach a Memorandum dated March 22, 2022 from the Director of Financial Services and Director of Community Services that outlines how the funds have been allocated. Report CSD-009-20 set out the composition of the Funding Review Committee. It included three community representatives. The representatives who sat on the committee were able to provide a different and very valuable perspective to the discussion and ultimately to the recommended distribution of the funds. Staff look forward to this community component being part of the success of this funding program in the future. Page 1 1 The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington, 40 Temperance Street, Bowmanville, ON L1 C 3A6 1-800-563-1195 1 Local:905-623-3379 1 info@clarington.net I www.clarington.net Page 28 A total of $72,500 was approved by Council for distribution under the 2021 Community Funding Program. The attached memorandum shows how $34,420 of this amount was awarded to successful applicants. Staff believe that there are unallocated funds ($37,580) for two reasons. First, this is the first year of the new Program. Second, many of our community groups have not returned to a normal level of operation as the result of the pandemic. For these reasons, it is staff's recommendation that we advertise and promote a second intake under the Program with an application deadline of August 31, 2021.

With many residents feeling the financial implications of COVID-19, they expect an increase in those requesting financial aid. Clarington Martial Arts & Fitness- $4,320 Clarington Martial Arts & Fitness has requested funds for the creation of an internal subsidized membership program. This program will use established criteria and a committee to identify recipients. There was $72,500 available through the 2021 Community Funding Program, of which $34,420 was awarded to the successful applicants. As the new program was approved by Council for one intake per year, with discretion sitting with the CAO, it is our recommendation that the remaining funds be left for further decision as the impacts of COVID-19 continue to be felt. Should a clear direction not be apparent by Summer 2021, we recommend another call for submissions. The following groups were not awarded funding: • Connect 4 Life • Bowmanville Tennis Club • Relay for Life Clarington The groups that were disqualified were: • Heroes 4 Wildlife • Clarington Ravens We are confident that the funding recipients are reflective of the program priorities (Connection, Inclusion, Environment, and Innovation) and will strengthen our community, particularly within the current challenges generated by COVID-19. A copy of each complete application and scoring is available upon request. With this being the first year within the new program, the Community Development team, in conjunction with the Funding Review Committee are committed to continuous improvement of the program. Next steps include identifying opportunities for growth within the program priorities, deadlines and scoring criteria. There are also plans within the Community Development team for capacity building initiatives within the community that further strengthen the quality of applications over time.

Such issues include access to training, and equipment or other critical upgrades that are needed at the local level to support virtual inspections. Ontario's fire departments vary in size and capacity and they all serve different communities that each present different levels of risk. There is a significant cost to ensure that every department has skilled first responders who are adequately trained and equipped to meet the needs of their community. Funding could represent the difference in allowing fire departments to train more staff, purchase much needed equipment to allow them to adapt and respond to COVID-19 related risks in their communities in a way that ensures both community and personnel safety. The use of the one-time 2020-21 Municipal Fire Protection Grant will focus on the needs of municipal fire departments to ensure community safety with a focus on issues that have presented due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including: • Training to offset the pressures in training as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. • Specialty training to respond to the dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to ensure fire safety in their communities such as virtual inspections. • Small improvements to fire department infrastructure, such as accessing high speed internet to support training and virtual inspections. The fire service has expressed concerns with training and fire code compliance since the start of the pandemic. Some of these concerns include critical inspections being delayed or impacted given the apprehension with entering premises. Similarly, training has been impacted given that fire services have been responding to challenges associated with the pandemic (staffing shortages, increased calls for service, etc.). Many departments continued training online as the Office of the Fire Marshal enhanced its online course availability at the start of the pandemic. This emergency COVID relief funding provides support for increased access to training, support for fire code compliance inspections through virtual inspections, and equipment or other critical upgrades that are needed at the local level to support community risks during the pandemic and the switch to virtual training and inspections. <insert a copy of the letter of intent from the municipality to outline proposed use of funds> TP Agreement — Shortened Page 12 of 14 Page 49 SCHEDULE "D" BUDGET Funding will be provided to the <insert municipality name> upon execution of this Agreement.

Report To: General Government Committee Date of Meeting: March 29, 2021 Report Number: PWD-019-21 Submitted By: Stephen Brake, Director of Public Works Reviewed By: Andrew C. Allison, CAO Resolution#: File Number: By-law Number: Report Subject: Courtice Shores Drive and Parking Lot Recommendations: 1. That Report PWD-019-21 be received; 2. That Courtice Shores Drive be improved with surface treatment from the south limit to the tunnel under the CN Rail line; 3. That Council provide direction to staff on whether to proceed with Option 1) the construction of identified parking facilities on -street or Option 2) the creation of parking facilities off-street at the Courtice waterfront; and 4. That all interested parties listed in Report PWD-019-21 and any delegations be advised of Council's decision. Page 61 Municipality of Clarington Page 2 Report PWD-019-21 Report Overview This report is to provide Council with a cost to improve Courtice Shores Drive and to provide parking for the Courtice waterfront. 1. Background 1.1 During the General Government Committee meeting held on February 16, 2021, Council passed Resolution # GG-203-21. This resolution provided direction to staff to report back on the cost to improve Courtice Shores Drive and to provide parking for the Courtice waterfront. 1.2 Courtice Shores Drive is a municipal local road with an estimated average annual daily traffic (AADT) count of 50 cars per day and a posted speed of 50km/h. The road has a gravel surface and has fallen into poor condition from increased traffic to the Courtice waterfront and the trail along the waterfront east of Courtice Shores Dr. As planning for the area is ongoing, and part of the Courtice Waterfront and Energy Park Secondary Plan, proposed parking improvements may be a temporary measure. 1.3 There has been increased traffic observed at this location as it is the only access point to the section of trail that was constructed along the waterfront by the Region of Durham as a requirement of the host community agreement for the Durham York Energy Centre (energy from waste facility). The increased traffic and parking along both sides of the road has been a concern for emergency services access. In 2020, no parking signage was installed along the west side of the road and at the turn around at the south limit. 2. Discussion 2.1 In response to the direction given, staff have visited the site to identify preferred parking locations and determine feasibility of existing site conditions. Two potential sites have been identified on Figure 1: Page 62 Municipality of Clarington Report PWD-019-21 is..— .a ., Page 3 2.4n' Raad Widening - f •V ..

The estimated cost to resurface Courtice Shores Drive from its southern terminus to 650m north is $57,100. 2.3 The existing turn around at the south limit of the road is on private property. The improvements to the road should include a formal agreement with the property owner or re -alignment of the turnaround and trail entrance on the west side. Costs associated with re -alignment of the turnaround are not included in the above estimate for surface treatment. On -Street Parking (Option 1) 2.4 Currently, parking is permitted along the east side of the road, however the road platform is narrow, so it is a tight fit to have on -street parking and still allow for two way traffic. The opportunity exists to provide on -street parking by widening Courtice Shores Drive from 7.2m to 9.6m, from the waterfront to the south boundary of 194 Courtice Shores Drive. This would provide adequate width for 26 designated on -street parking spots and a 1.0m pedestrian walking lane. The estimated cost to widen this section of road is $55,000, which includes excavation, granular fill, surface treatment, and tree removal. This would require the removal of a number of large trees and brush along the east side of the road. Parking will be permitted only on the east side of the road to keep the road clear for emergency services. Off -Street Parking Lot (Option 2) 2.5 In Option 2, 194 Courtice Shores Drive has been identified as a potential site for off- street parking. Since the land adjacent to the Courtice waterfront is under private ownership, this is the closest option for off-street parking and would provide 26 designated parking spots. The estimated cost to provide this parking solution is $41,000, which includes excavation, granular fill, and brush removal. It should be noted that the distance from the Courtice waterfront to the proposed parking lot entrance is 200m and the proposed layout may not fit the final design for the Courtice Waterfront and Energy Park Secondary Plan. A pedestrian walking lane may be added, utilizing the existing road width of 7.2m. This would require no parking signs on both sides of Courtice Shores Drive, but there may continue to be issues enforcing this regulation. 3. Concurrence Not Applicable. Page 64 Municipality of Clarington Report PWD-019-21 4. Conclusion Page 5 It is respectfully recommended that Courtice Shores Drive be improved with surface treatment as part of contract CL2018-25 (Year 4). Should Council wish to move forward with the provision of parking, it is recommended that direction be given and a funding source identified to implement Option 1, on -street parking, or Option 2, off-street parking, as identified in this report.

Page 66 Municipality of Clarington Report PWD-020-21 Report Overview Page 2 This report is to authorize the Municipality to enter into a Road Construction Agreement including cost sharing with The Landowners of the North Village Neighbourhood in Newcastle for improvements to North St, Grady Dr, and Regional Road 17. 1. Background Works Required to Service Development of North Village 1.1 The North Village Neighbourhood is located north of the CP Railway in Newcastle and is between Highway 115 and Arthur St. In order to service the proposed subdivisions, the developers need to extend the trunk sanitary sewer and watermain up North St from Wilmot St to Grady Dr, across Grady Dr, and up Regional Road 17 from Grady Dr to north of the CP Railway. The site location is shown in Attachment 1. The developers are responsible for the cost of the services and restoration of trenches. 1.2 The landowners who are constructing the services are Smooth Run Developments Inc. Brookfield Residential (ON) LP, and Go Home Investments Inc (The Landowners). The Landowners intend to do the external servicing work prior to completion of the subdivision agreements, which requires the implementation of a Road Construction Agreement. 1.3 The Region of Durham also plans to enter into a Servicing Agreement with the developer in accordance with the Region's Share Policy to pay for oversizing of the sanitary sewer and watermain. Proposed Road Improvements 1.4 The existing infrastructure on North St is in need of upgrades. The Municipality plans to cost share with The Landowners to improve the infrastructure as part of their contract to extend sanitary sewer and watermain. Completing the work together will be more efficient and will reduce the impact on residents by completing all the work at the same time. The Road Construction Agreement will set out insurance requirements, warrantees, and other provisions to protect the Municipality's interests. 1.5 North St from Wilmot St to George St is an urban cross section and is in relatively poor condition. The proposed road improvements include replacement of the asphalt, concrete curbs, paved boulevard and sections of sidewalk. Page 67 Municipality of Clarington Page 3 Report PWD-020-21 1.6 From George St to Grady Dr, North St is a rural cross section and is in poor condition. The proposed road improvements include installation of storm sewers, replacement of granular road base and asphalt surface, construction of concrete curbs, sidewalk on the west side, and improvements to street lighting. 1.7 There are two large culverts that convey tributaries of Foster Creek across North St and need to be replaced. There is a 1.2 m steel culvert located approximately 30 m north of Wilmot St, including a concrete headwall and guide rail on the west side. There is a 1.2 m x 1.2 m concrete box culvert that crosses the intersection of North St / George St, including headwalls and guide rail. The culvert replacement work includes restoration of the vegetation along the creek tributaries. 1.8 New concrete sidewalk is required on Regional Road 17 from Grady Dr to the north side of the CPR tracks, which requires the extension of curbs and modifications to the catch basins and storm sewer. The sidewalk is funded from development charges. 2. Financial 2.1 The total construction cost including The Landowner's share, the Region's share, and the Municipality's share is $4,517,815 (blended HST). The apportionment of construction costs is provided below. Landowners $2,705,025 Region of Durham 985,778 Municipality of Clarington 827,013 Total $4,517,815 2.2 Other costs associated with the Municipality's share of the work includes a contingency amount of 10 per cent, design costs, inspection and contract administration, material testing, permit fees, and streetlight connection fees. The total of the other costs, net of HST rebate, is $312,044. The Municipality's total cost for the project is $1,139,057. 2.3 The Municipality's share will be funded from the following accounts: Description Account Number Amount North St Sidewalk (2017) 110-32-331-83273-7401 $85,000 North St Reconstruction (2019, 2020) 110-32-330-83273-7401 $400,000 '� Municipality of Clarington Report PWD-020-21 Page 4 Description Account Number Amount Structures Rehabilitation (2020) 110-32-330-83275-7401 $410,173 Reg.

Report To: General Government Committee Date of Meeting: March 29, 2021 Report Number: CSD-001-21 Submitted By: George Acorn, Director of Community Services Reviewed By: Andrew C. Allison, CAO Resolution#: File Number: By-law Number: Report Subject: Community Services Department Rates and Fees September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2022 Recommendations: 1. That Report CSD-001-21 be received; and 2. That Council approve the proposed rates and fees as outlined in Attachment 1 of Report CSD-001-21 for the period September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2022. Page 71 Municipality of Clarington Report CSD-001-21 Report Overview Page 2 This Report contains staff recommendations on rates and fees charged by the Community Services Department for the various programs and services we provide to our community, for the period September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2022. In order to remain more responsive to the needs of our community, we have revised the reporting schedule from a two-year plan to a one-year plan, which will require us to report to Council on rates and fees each spring. In establishing these rates and fees, staff must take into consideration the following factors; does the rate reflect the value of the program or service provided to the user; does the rate consider the costs to provide the program or service, while still remaining affordable to the user; and does this rate contribute to growing revenues to offset the rising costs of operating and minimize increases to the tax levy. For most of our programs and services, there has been a long-established practice of applying a reasonable rate or fee to the user for that program or service. To date there have been some exceptions including some weekday, daytime ice activities at our arenas. Staff are recommending the incremental introduction of fees for these services to create consistency across all service areas of the Department and to be respectful of any unnecessary burden to our taxpayers. Staff continue to evaluate the effectiveness, demand, success, and areas for improvement for all programs and services offered. This includes year over year performance and research to benchmark with other municipal comparators. As such, staff have identified areas that require additional review prior to providing any proposed changes to Council. These reviews are set to occur over the next year and any recommendations will be included in the annual Rates and Fees Report for 2022. 1. Background 1.1 Previously, every two years, the Community Services Department conducted a review of the approved rates and fees to propose recommendations for potential increases for Council's consideration. To make the Department more responsive Community Services will now bring the Report annually. 1.2 In preparation for this Report, staff undertook a benchmarking exercise considering rates and fees charged by other Durham Municipalities, and other comparator municipalities, to ensure Clarington's rates and fees remain consistent relative to our municipal neighbours. Page 72 Municipality of Clarington Page 3 Report CSD-001-21 1.3 Staff continue to examine the structure of rates and the new rates to see the impact of continuing to offer programs and services under a pay for use philosophy. The structure of our rates and fees continues to provide flexibility in program planning, only charging customers for what they use using prorated registration and refunds for programs and memberships. As well, it simplifies the rate structure in facility rentals so that not only is it easy to administer within the constraints of our system, it also provides an easy way for customers to understand their charges. 2. Rates and Fees Sections Memberships 2.1 Memberships have continued to be popular with residents, even through the Pandemic. In order to provide maximum value for our frequent use customers we offer a variety of annual membership packages including fitness, skating and swimming. Minor increases were applied to maintain our position in the marketplace and recognize the increased costs of operations. 2.2 Over the past year, staff have worked to improve the cancellation practice to reduce barriers to the customer if they need to cancel their membership for any reason. This has been well received by customers and as a result, we are proposing the elimination of the 3 month membership rate for all services. It is more economical to take out an annual membership and, if needed, the customer can easily cancel their membership at any time, with a small administration fee of $10 plus HST. 2.3 The Pandemic and the resulting challenges the fitness industry faces will necessitate that staff undertake an internal service review of this area in 2021. Should this review require changes to the membership rate structure for the fitness centre and/or fitness classes, they will be reflected in the spring 2022 Rates and Fees Report. Pay as You Go Programming 2.4 Our current user rates provide two options for customers to pay. One is a single visit fee and the second is a multi -pack fee that offers a discounted rate if customers buy a minimum of 10 visits (with no maximum). The philosophy around the multi -visit pass is "buy 9 and get 1 free" and pay the same reduced rate for any additional visits over 10. Over time as a consistent percentage increase is applied to these two rates and adjustments are necessary to maintain the discount philosophy. 2.5 To maintain a consistent approach to establishing user fees for all programs and services, staff are recommending the introduction of user fees for both our 55+ and our Parent & Tot skating activities. Historically these activities have been offered in our arenas free of charge. To reflect the cost of providing these services, in addition to the need for consistency, staff are recommending a phased in approach to implementing fees. Page 73 Municipality of Clarington Report CSD-001-21 Page 4 2.6 Staff are recommending approval of the starting fee for these two ice activities as found in Attachment 1. We propose to apply incremental increases to the fees over the next three years to bring the fees in line with our other fees for swimming and skating. As this would be a new rate, once approved, we will effectively communicate this to our facility users and the community well in advance of implementation in September. Recreation Programs and Camps 2.7 Recreation Services continue to offer a wide range of programs and activities for our residents. These include Aquatics, General Recreation, Camps, Fitness, and 55+ targeted programming. 2.8 Fees for programs and activities vary across the areas above and are based on the associated direct delivery costs (i.e. staff, program supplies and rentals if applicable). Staff applied nominal increases across programs except for advanced leadership, where prices are dictated by the service provider (Red Cross or Lifesaving Society). Facility Rentals 2.9 Performance for facility rentals, prior to the Pandemic, remained consistent. During the Pandemic, requests for ice time remains high and customers are motivated to start renting other spaces once restrictions allow. There have been nominal increases to rental rates to continue to remain consistent in our application of fees. 2.10 Staff are currently working towards reviewing the rental spaces available across our recreation facilities to address the increasing requests for community use of rental spaces. These potential additions to rental spaces will guide future reports and the structure of rates for facility rentals. Staff are preparing to have any changes prepared and ready for the 2022 Report. Administrative Charges 2.11 The administrative charges are reflective of any approved discounts that apply to several fee categories and the administrative charges associated with cancellations or changes. Page 74 Municipality of Clarington Page 5 Report CSD-001-21 2.12 Staff have begun to review all discounts and how they impact our delivery of programs as well as the impact to future business plans. As a result of these reviews, staff recommend the elimination of the Early Bird Camp Discount. The discount was introduced several years ago to encourage people to register early for summer camps to avoid cancellations. Recent years have seen a shift in trend. Often within weeks of opening registration, up to 95% of the capacity has been registered, and prior to the end of school we often have waitlists (where people are placed if capacity has been reached) for many of our camp programs. Therefore, it is not believed that there is a need to entice customer to register early, which was the intent of this discount. 2.13 Lastly, it has been added to the Departmental workplan to review and develop recommendations around many of our age -based discounts (youth, seniors) and how they should be applied and to what level in the future. Staff will undertake a comprehensive review of municipal comparators, evaluation of costs to delivering the different services and associated recommendations so we are able to continue to run programming in the most fiscally responsible way. 3. Concurrence 3.1 Not Applicable. 4. Conclusion 4.1 It is respectfully recommended that Council receive this Report and approve the proposed rates and fees for the period September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2022. 4.2 Staff recognize the importance to the community of offering facilities, programs and activities that provide valuable leisure opportunities to our residents that assist them in maintaining and promoting a healthy lifestyle. By establishing responsible fees for these services, we encourage easy access to recreation for our community. Additionally, we also support programs that provide financial assistance to those in Clarington who find the user fees a barrier to access. These include our own Financial Assistance Program (FAP) as well as partnering with Durham Region Social Services and Canadian Tire's JumpStart Program, amongst others. Staff also recognize the importance of providing these programs and services in the most fiscally responsible manner possible.

That all interested parties listed in Report LGS-014-21 and any delegations be advised of Council's decision. Municipality of Clarington Report LGS-014-21 Report Overview Page 2 This report is intended to provide background information, regarding the vacancies on the Energy from Waste — Waste Management Advisory Committee to assist in the appointment process. 1. Energy from Waste — Waste Management Advisory Committee Background 1.1 The EFW-WMAC was established, by the Region of Durham, in 2011. It acts in an advisory role to the Durham Works Committee on issues or concerns which arise with waste diversion, waste management, environmental performance and monitoring of the EFW Facility, including the construction and operational phases. 1.2 The EFW-WMAC is comprised of nine residents from the Region of Durham: five residents appointed by Durham Regional Council and four residents appointed by Clarington Council. Current Situation 1.3 At the January 18, 2021 Council meeting, Council appointed four members to the EFW- WMAC for a term ending December 31, 2022 or until a successor is appointed. 1.4 Lyndsay Riddoch declined her appointment, therefore Committee may appoint one citizen to the EFW-WMAC for a term ending December 31, 2022. 1.5 The following citizens have put forward an application for consideration: • Philip Haylock • Geoff James 2. Advertising & Applications 2.1 The Municipal Clerk's Division placed an advertisement in the local papers and on the Municipality's website, www.clarington.net/Committees, to fill the vacancy on the EFW- W MAC. 2.2 In an effort to extend the reach of our advertisements for vacancies, the Clerk's Department has created a profile on the www.claringtonvolunteers.ca website.

Report To: General Government Committee Date of Meeting: April 19, 2021 Report Number: FSD-014-21 Submitted By: Trevor Pinn, Director of Financial Services Reviewed By: Andrew C. Allison, CAO By-law Number: File Number: Resolution#: Report Subject: 2020 Annual Investment Report Recommendation: 1. That Report FSD-014-21 be received for information. Page 91 Municipality of Clarington Report FSD-014-21 Report Overview Page 2 The following report is the annual reporting requirement under the Municipality of Clarington's Investment Policy. Regulations require the Treasurer to report certain information to Council on an annual basis and to certify compliance with the Municipality's Investment Policy. This report meets these requirement obligations. 1. Background 1.1 In June 2018, through report FND-011-18 the Municipality of Clarington reviewed and revised its Investment Policy. This policy requires the Treasurer of the Municipality to report the state of the Municipality's investments to Council on an annual basis. 1.2 The Municipality of Clarington invests based on the legal list of investments outlined in O.Req. 438/97 as amended. The legal list is very prescribed and limits the ability of the Municipality to fully diversify its investments, however it is relatively secure. 2. Securities Held Investment Accounts 2.1 The Municipality of Clarington holds its investments through investment accounts with several financial organizations. For the purpose of determining whether the Municipality is meeting its investment policies, the underlying investment is considered, not the custodian of the investment. 2.2 The Municipality held the following accounts: TD Bank 1 • General Fund bank account • Several small bank accounts • Reserve Fund bank account • Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs) Page 92 Municipality of Clarington Report FSD-014-21 RBC Dominion Securities ONE Investment Inc BMO Nesbitt Burns 3. Portfolio Mix Page 3 • Reserve Fund investment account • DC Reserve Fund investment account • Strategic Capital Fund investment account • High Interest Savings Account (HISA) • Equity portfolio investment account • Bonds portfolio investment account • General Fund investment account Investments by Type 3.1 The Municipality holds investments of several different types. With a large portfolio it is important to diversity the types of investments to reduce the risk to the overall portfolio from variations in any one market. The following table shows the December 31, 2020 investments by type: High Interest Savings Account Municipal Debt Financial Institutions ONE Investment Pools $50,943,531 ' 42.4% 4,778,046 1 4.0% 57,577,940 1 47.9% 6,905,665 1 5.7% $120,205,182 ' 100.0% Page 93 Municipality of Clarington Page 4 Report FSD-014-21 3.2 The policy guideline for financial institutions is zero per cent to 60 per cent of the investment portfolio. At December 31, 2020, the Municipality was within this limit. 3.3 While within the policy limits, the above indicates that the Municipality is heavily concentrated in Canadian financial institutions. Most of the investments consist of GICs which were originally purchased with a five-year term. Investments by Maturity 3.4 The Municipality attempts to balance cash flows through the timing of the maturity of investments. Staggered maturity dates ensure that cash is readily available to meet the needs of the Municipality and reduces interest rate risk. At December 31, 2020, the maturity dates of investments held by the Municipality were as follows: Less than 90 days $58,044,595 48.3% 90 days to 1 year 9,812,283 8.2% 1 to 5 years 1 27,814,182 I 23.1% 5 to 10 years 1 19,692,673 I 16.4% More than 10 years 1 4,841,449 I 4.0% $120,205,182 100.0% 3.5 The Municipality's HISA and TD Reserve Fund bank accounts are considered to have a maturity of less than 90 days, as they are available to the Municipality within 24 hours. 3.6 The Municipality is allowed in certain circumstances to invest in terms greater than 10 years, at December 31, 2020 there was $4.8 million invested with a maturity greater than 10 years. These investments are bonds held in the three reserve fund investment portfolios and are traded on an active market. Page 94 Municipality of Clarington Report FSD-014-21 Investments by Institution Page 5 3.7 The Municipality attempts to diversify its investment portfolio by restricting the percentage of investments that any one institution may have. This mitigates the risk to the Municipality if an investment becomes insolvent. It should be noted that Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) only guarantees investments up to $100,000 per institution, therefore most of the Municipality's investments are not insured through CDIC. 3.8 At December 31, 2020 the Municipality's investments by institution were as follows: Institution TD Bank Savings ONE HISA Book Value at December i $26,490,185 Percentage Portfolio 22.0% 19.5% 23,436,972 ONE Equity Portfolio 2,588,679 2.2% ONE Bond Portfolio 4,316,986 3.6% Royal Bank of Canada 11,389,813 8,805,845 9.5% I National Bank 7.3% Bank of Nova Scotia 16,236,823 13.5% Bank of Montreal 12,959,520 10.8% HSBC 4,360,864 3.6% TD Bank City of Toronto 4,841,449 4,778,046 4.0% 4.0% $120,205,182 100.0% 4. Portfolio Summary 4.1 The Municipality's portfolio consists of several funds which include general funds, trust funds, reserve funds and other investments. Page 95 Municipality of Clarington Report FSD-014-21 General Fund Page 6 4.2 The General Fund is the main operating fund for the Municipality. This fund has the least number of active investments. The majority of the investments in this fund are in the HISA operated by ONE Investment Inc. This HISA account offers favourable interest rates for a highly liquid investment. At December 31, 2020, the ONE Investment HISA had approximately $23,437,000. Funds held in the HISA are available within 24 hours. 4.3 The ONE Investment Inc. HISA was established in September 2016 and held low balances throughout 2017. In 2018, the Municipality began a period of being more active with its investments and moved funds from the lower interest earning bank accounts to the higher HISA accounts. 4.4 In October 2018, Clarington invested $3,000,000 in a GIC with TD Bank for a one-year period and $3,000,000 for a two-year period. In October 2019, the first GIC matured and was kept in the general operating account as GIC rates had declined significantly on one and two year terms. The second GIC, at a rate of 2.75% matured in October 2020 and was retained in the general operating account. Non -Development Charges Reserve Funds 4.5 The Municipality operates a Non -Development Charges Reserve Fund investment portfolio for all reserve funds which are not established under the Development Charges Act, 1997. There is one exception which is the Strategic Capital Reserve Fund which is a separate fund. 4.6 The total book value of investments is approximately $41,290,000, which includes approximately $26,490,200 in bank balances. At December 31, 2020 the portfolio was comprised of $14,760,100 in GICs with maturities in each of 2021, 2022 and 2023 as well as $9,106,100 in bonds with maturities from 2027 to 2032. For purposes of this report, the TD Bank Reserve Fund bank account, is included in this portfolio. 4.7 The Municipality has adopted a five-year laddering strategy for these investments with roughly equal distribution each year. This ensures assets will be cashable in any given year and can be withdrawn from the reserve fund as necessary. At December 31, 2020 the fourth and fifth year of this ladder is lacking as interest rates for those years over the past year have not been attractive enough to lock in funds for that amount of time. Staff continue to monitor and will be investing in 2024 and 2025 as rates become feasible. 4.8 In 2019, as a result of a decrease in interest rates for GICs the Municipality started to look at bonds as a way to continue to have safe investments with a reasonable return. The bonds held by the Municipality include Canadian chartered banks (BMO, TD and Bank of Nova Scotia) as well as the City of Toronto. Although bonds have a longer maturity they are generally fairly liquid as they are actively traded in the market. Page 96 Municipality of Clarington Page 7 Report FSD-014-21 Development Charges Reserve Funds 4.9 The Development Charges Reserve Fund portfolio meets the obligations of the Municipality under the relevant legislation for Development Charges. 4.10 The Municipality has two accounts with the ONE Investment Program related to this fund: a Bond account and an Equity account. 4.11 The ONE Investment bond account was established in 2000. The investment pool was transferred to its current custodian in 2005 with a book value of $2,594,685. As at December 31, 2020 the book value, as a result of reinvested income, was $4,316,986 (2019 - $4,192,598). This is an increase of 66.4% over 15.75 years, or 4.2% per year. At December 31, 2020 the market value was below book value, however the adjusted return is still 3.9% per year since 2005. 4.12 The ONE Investment equity account was established in 2007 with an initial investment of $500,000, and a $2,000,000 investment during 2020. At December 31, 2020 the book value of the investment is $2,588,679 with a market value of $3,492,447. In 2020 there was an increase in market value of $203,837.88 on top of approximately $88,000 of reinvested income in the portfolio; during a year that saw a significant decline in equity values at the beginning of the year due to COVID-19. Strategic Capital Reserve Funds 4.13 The Strategic Capital Reserve Fund portfolio has been established to specifically hold investments for the Strategic Capital Reserve Fund. This reserve fund was established to provide a source of funding for economic development activities. The intent was to hold the $10.0 million capital as a source of internal borrowing for economic development capital investments, interest earned on the investments is transferred to the general fund as a way of offsetting the tax levy. 4.14 Investments in this fund consist of $6.7 million in GICs with maturities ranging from May 2021 to January 2032. Interest rates vary from 2.1 % to 3.2%. Bonds of Canadian chartered banks worth $3.8 million with maturities from November 2027 to September 2029 are also held with a interest rate of 1.2 to 2.9%. 5. Unrealized and Realized Gains 5.1 An unrealized gain or loss arises when the market value of an investment varies from the book value of the investment. An unrealized gain or loss becomes realized when the investment is sold or matures. Page 97 Municipality of Clarington Report FSD-014-21 Page 8 5.2 Interest accrued, but not paid, on the GICs held is assumed to approximate the market value, therefore this has been recorded as investment income and has been recorded as an increase in the balance of the investment. 6. Concurrence Not Applicable. 7. Conclusion 7.1 In my opinion, all investments were made in accordance with the investment policies and goals adopted by the Municipality of Clarington and are in compliance with the regulations adopted under the Municipal Act, 2001. 7.2 In my opinion, the Municipality was compliant with its investment policy at December 31, 2020. 7.3 It is respectfully recommended that the report be received.

Page 99 Municipality of Clarington Page 2 Report FSD-015-21 Report Overview To request authorization from Council to extend contract CL2016-12 Traffic Sign Reflectivity Inspection Program for an additional one-year term ending December 31, 2021. 1. Background 1.1 In 2016, the Chief Administrative Officer approved the award of contract CL2016-12 for Traffic Sign Reflectivity Inspection. The Report PS-005-16 is attached. 1.2 The contract was for an initial one-year term from 2016 to 2017 and had the option of extending up to four additional one-year terms, expiring December 2020. The additional one-year term will cover the 2021 inspection requirements, ending December 31, 2021. 1.3 In 2021, the Public Works Department will be completing a business case analysis to determine both the benefits and challenges of completing this mandatory inspection work in-house. Commencing in 2022, it is feasible that the cost to purchase the necessary equipment and to hire an additional seasonal staff person (student or temporary labourer) could result in significant savings. 1.4 Seeing as this service is typically awarded as a multi -year contract, issuing the contract for a one-year term may not achieve the low unit pricing that has been secured in the past. 1.5 Advantage Data Collection agreed to extend the Traffic Sign Reflectivity Inspection contract one additional one-year term beyond the initial five-year term and complete the service for the 2021 year at their current contract price plus standard CPI Increase. 2. Analysis 2.1 This contract extension falls within the 2021 traffic sign reflectivity inspection budget. 2.2 Advantage Data Collection's pricing and performance has been satisfactory under this contract for the past five years. 3. Financial 3.1 The estimated funding for the additional one-year term is $65,000 (Net HST Rebate). The work will be funded from the 2021 approved budget allocation as provided from the following accounts: Page100 Municipality of Clarington Report FSD-015-21 Page 3 Description Account Number Amount Safety Devices/Traffic Signs/Misc. Oper. Supply 100-36-384-10315-7112 $65,000 3.2 Pricing submitted for Traffic Sign Reflectivity Inspection remained firm for the first and second contract year. For the third, fourth and fifth contract year, unit prices were adjusted on the anniversary date of the contract award by the annual percentage change in the most recent issuance of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), All Items, Ontario as published by Statistics Canada and the pricing remined firm for the contract year. For the sixth one-year term, unit prices will be adjusted using the same method. 3.3 At the time of approval in 2016, the total estimated contract value for the five-year term was $188,000 (Net HST Rebate). The annual budget for traffic sign reflectivity inspection increased every year after the award in 2016. In 2018, a Road Network Audit was completed identifying approximately 1,700 new locations that needed traffic signs installed and this added to the annual inspection requirements and budget from 2018 forward. The approximate five-year contract value, including the additional signs added during the period, is $249,600 (Net HST Rebate). 4. Concurrence This report has been reviewed by the Director of Public Works who concurs with the recommendations. 5. Conclusion It is respectfully recommended that approval be granted to extend contract CL2016-12 Traffic Sign Reflectivity Inspection for one additional one-year term with Advantage Data Collection.

Background 1.1 A Request for Proposal (RFP) was drafted for the provision of Professional Services to complete the interior renovations at The Shaw House, located at 156 Church St. in accordance with the terms of reference provided by the Community Services Department. 1.2 The intent of the RFP was to secure the services of an architectural, engineering firm to provide design, contract administration and engineering services. 1.3 RFP2021-2 was issued by the Purchasing Services Division and advertised electronically on the Municipality of Clarington's (the Municipality) website. Notification of the availability of the document was also posted on the Ontario Public Buyers Association's website. The RFP was structured on the price — based two envelope RFP system. 2. Analysis 2.1 The RFP closed February 24, 2021. 2.2 Twenty-nine companies downloaded the document. 2.3 Five submissions were received (refer to Attachment 1) by the closing date and time. 2.4 Of the 29 companies who downloaded the RFP document, 23 companies choose not to submit a proposal, stating that they were unable to meet our timeline due to current workloads and one company was a construction association. 2.5 All five proposals submitted complied with the mandatory submission requirements and were distributed to the evaluation committee for their review and scoring. 2.6 The Technical Proposals were first evaluated and scored independently by the members of the evaluation committee in accordance with the established criteria as outlined in the RFP. The evaluation committee was comprised of two staff members from the Community Services Department. Page108 Municipality of Clarington Page 3 Report FSD-016-21 2.7 The RFP stipulated, among other things, that the proponents were to provide a description of the Firm/Consulting team, key qualifications, firm profile, highlights of past service and experience of team members with projects of similar size, nature and complexity, and demonstrate an understanding of the Municipality's requirements. 2.8 The evaluation committee met to review and agree upon the overall scores for each proposal.

Report To: General Government Committee Date of Meeting: March 29, 2021 Report Number: FSD-017-21 Submitted By: Trevor Pinn, Director of Financial Services/Treasurer Reviewed By: Andrew C. Allison, CAO Resolution#: File Number: By-law Number: Report Subject: LED Retrofit Budget Reallocations Recommendations: 1. That Report FSD-017-21 be received; and 2. That the Director of Financial Services/Treasurer is authorized to reallocate up to $235,000 from the "Various Streetlights Project" capital account to the "LED Conversion Project" capital account to complete the necessary streetlight conversions. Page112 Municipality of Clarington Report FSD-017-21 Report Overview Page 2 The LED Streetlight Retrofit is nearing completion; however additional funding is required to complete the projects. Staff have found funds in related capital accounts to reallocate to this project to complete the retrofit work. 1. Background History of LED Conversion Project Award 1.1 Council approved the Streetlight LED Replacement Turnkey Program in June 2018 through Report COD-025-18 to Ameresco Canada Inc. 1.2 Work has been underway since 2018 to complete the retrofit of the Municipality's streetlight network to LED lights. The conversion to LEDs was intended to reduce energy consumption and improve efficiency of the network through a reduction in repair/maintenance needs. 1.3 The Municipality's 2019 to 2022 Strategic Plan identifies Environmental Sustainability as one of the five strategic priorities. The conversion of streetlights to LED is consistent with this strategic goal. Project Overage 1.4 The LED Conversion Project requires additional funds to be approved in order to finalize the project. It is estimated that $176,700 remains to be incurred to complete the project, while this is approximately 5.5 per cent and would be covered under the Municipality's Capital Overage Policy, as it is greater than $150,000 approval from Council is being sought. 1.5 During the contract over 600 additional lights were identified in the Municipality's inventory with many requiring additional fuse kits to meet current Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) standards. As well, there are more decorative light fixtures than we had in our inventory; modifications to the decorative lights included support arm modifications and installation of backlight shields to prevent light trespass onto private properties. 1.6 The above -mentioned additional streetlights, decorative lights and related modifications contribute to the additional funding required to complete the conversion of the Municipality's inventory. Page113 Municipality of Clarington Report FSD-017-21 2. Financial Implications Page 3 2.1 The Public Works Department annually budgets funds for various streetlight replacements, upgrades or in -fill. There are sufficient funds in this capital account to fund the request to complete the LED retrofit. There are no additional tax levy or reserve funds needed. 2.2 Since the implementation of the LED project in 2018, we have seen a decrease in our hydro from $908,800 to approximately $673,200 in 2020 (which is being used to offset the internal borrowing for the replacement work). 2.3 We have also seen a decrease in maintenance work from $335,500 to $87,400 during that period mainly as a result of work being covered under warranty for those lights that were replaced. 2.4 The project requires approximately $176,700 in additional funding; however approximately $56,900 was expected to come from an Ontario rebate. Staff will continue to apply for any rebates that are applicable; however, to ensure that funding is available to complete the project the gross amount is being requested to be authorized. 2.5 The funds that are being reallocated to the LED Conversion Project were initially approved for a purpose that could be seen to be related, namely streetlight replacement. Staff are asking for the reallocation to ensure transparency on the use of capital funds. 3. Concurrence This report has been reviewed by the Director of Public Works who concurs with the recommendations. 4. Conclusion It is respectfully recommended that Council approve the reallocation of funds from the "Streetlight Replacement" to the "LED Conversion" projects to ensure that the investment made to date can be completed.

Page124 MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE Resolution # DATE: March 29, 2021 MOVED BY: Councillor Traill SECONDED BY: Councillor Anderson Whereas many hall boards have little to no bookings due to COVID-19 and are struggling to cover the costs of utilities and PPE; and Whereas even before COVID-19 many boards struggled to cover their utilities, maintenance and snow removal costs, significantly deterring volunteerism and contributing to low morale. Now therefore be it resolved that: 1) Staff report back on eligibility criteria for hall boards to apply for one-time funding from the Tax Rate Stabilization Reserve Fund (which would be supported by the Safe Restart funds we got from the Province) to each hall in addition to the $3000.00 grant they have already received for an amount to be determined per hall board on the basis of need to cover utilities, PPE and other expenses for the 2021 year; and 2) Staff report back on long-term funding options for hall boards with respect to ongoing snow removal, utilities and maintenance where the hall boards may be struggling financially in order to ensure the long-term viability of the local boards.
