Councillor White assumed the Chair 11.2 Recreation Services (A) REC Subject: Kincardine Centre for the Arts Project Update Attachments: None Report Summary: Staff is recommending that Council award the engineering services for the renovations at the Kincardine Centre for the Arts to NA Engineering. NA Engineering is extremely familiar with the Kincardine Centre for the Arts facility as they completed both the 2012 Interior Design Feasibility Study and in 2014 submitted the scope of work that has moved this process forward for this facility. To complete the detailed design activities and provide engineering support during the construction stages for the presented scope of work NA Engineering has submitted a fee of $142, (includes non-refundable portion of HST). Staff is also asking that this be dealt with as a matters arising from tonight s meeting so that NA Engineering may start the process of getting the detailed design prepared for tender. Origin: Council Direction to Staff, Capital Budgets, etc. Existing Policy: Purchasing and Procurement Policy Analysis: Council approved in the 2015 budget that the Phase 2 renovations proceed at the Kincardine Centre for the Arts which include basement renovations, HVAC upgrade and washrooms in the fire bay.

6 Council Minutes Page 6 of 12 Wednesday, April 15, 2015 To keep this project moving forward, staff is recommending that Council award the engineering services to NA Engineering Associates Inc, without going out to tender as per our Purchasing and Procurement Policy. NA Engineering is very familiar with the Kincardine Centre for the Arts as they completed the Interior Design Feasibility Study done on the Centre for the Arts in 2012, and most recently, they worked with staff & user groups and tenants to come up with the Scope of Work that was presented to Council in August of 2014 of which the construction phases were designed and approved upon. NA Engineering is proposing to perform the following work: i) Completion of the detailed design activities finalize design and technical documents based on conceptual work previously done. Preparation and approval of all required working drawings suitable for tendering and construction. Prepare packages for tender. ii) Engineering Support During Construction Activities: supervise construction activities for main building HVAC/electrical upgrades and redevelopment of old fire hall into washrooms which would include site meetings, reviewing shop drawings during construction when necessary, undertake site reviews, as well as the construction activities for the renovation of Scougall gallery, washroom and miscellaneous upgrades (which is phase 3). To complete the above, NA Engineering has submitted a fee of $142, NA Engineering is recommending that we undertake the entire design and then parcel out the construction. It makes more sense and is more cost effective to complete the design for both phase 2 & 3 at the same time by the same company, and then when Council is ready to proceed with phase 3, the design is ready for tender. NA Engineering has also indicated that the cost for the completion of the detailed design and engineering support for phase 2 only (washrooms in fire bay and the basement and HVAC), would be $91, In terms of schedule, if there is a direct award to NA Engineering, the detailed design phase would take approximately weeks, followed by the 4-6 weeks construction tender time period, with construction to be approximately 18 weeks. Community Plan and Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP) Considerations: To ensure the assets of the Municipality of Kincardine continue to be well promoted, valued, enhanced and supported. Financial Considerations: It was originally estimated that going out for tender for engineering services for the entire scope of work would cost $170,000 plus HST, so the $142,460 fee provided by NA Engineering is less than what was originally budgeted for. The money for the engineering services is budgeted to come from the Arts Centre Facility Reserve Fund. Options: 1. That Council award the engineering services for the renovations at the Kincardine Centre for the Arts to NA Engineering for $142,460 for completion of the detailed design of the entire project and for engineering support during the construction stages. 2. That Council award the engineering services to NA Engineering for $91,584 for completion of the detailed design

7 Council Minutes Page 7 of 12 Wednesday, April 15, 2015 of the project and for engineering support during the construction stage phase renovations only). 3. That Council proceed with securing engineering services in accordance with the Purchasing & Procurement Policy. Preferred Option: Option 1 Date to be considered by Council: April 15 Matters arising from tonight s meeting so that NA Engineering can begin the design phase and get the project out to tender. CAO s Comments: I concur. The Committee discussed the phase three plans and if the Tourism Office be included in these plans. Resolution #04/15/15 C O W- 01 Moved by: Maureen Couture Seconded by: Anne Eadie THAT Committee of the Whole recommend Option 1 to be considered by as a matter arising. Councillor Haight assumes the Chair 11.3 Other Areas of Responsibility (A) TRE Subject: Water and Wastewater Rate Study and Financial Plans Attachments: Hemson Consulting Powerpoint; Kincardine Water Financial Plan ; Tiverton Water Financial Plan ; Appendix 1 - Rate Comparison Report Summary: The purpose of this report is to obtain Council authorization for the Water Financial Plans for the Kincardine and Tiverton drinking water systems, as required under the Safe Drinking Water Act, The Financial Plans document the financial commitments and funding sources for the current budget year, and projections for the subsequent nine years. Origin: Safe Drinking Water Act 2002; O.Reg 453/07 Existing Policy: 2015 Consolidated Rates & Fees By-law Analysis: Under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), all municipal residential water systems must be licensed under the municipal drinking water licensing program. Municipal drinking water licences are valid for five years, and the Municipality s licences for the Kincardine and Tiverton systems are set to expire in November The deadline for application submission is May 12, In order to renew the licences, the Municipality must submit a Water Financial Plan for each system to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Housing. O.Reg 453/07 stipulates the requirements of a Water Financial Plan, which must consist of a planning period of at least 6 years and must be approved by Council resolution indicating that the water system is financially viable.

8 Council Minutes Page 8 of 12 Wednesday, April 15, 2015 As a precursor to the Financial Plan, the Municipality s water and wastewater rates were reviewed to ensure that the Municipality continues to address the full cost of providing water services. The Municipality has been implementing the recommended utility rates annually in accordance with the original rate study that was received by Council in January The rate study has been updated based on recent consumption data and a revised long-term capital plan. The rates have been adjusted accordingly, and a 2% annual increase is being recommended in order to achieve long term sustainability. The 2% rate increase is less than the annual rate increase that was originally proposed in the 2011 Hemson study. Appendix 1 provides a comparison of the utility rates that were originally calculated in the 2011 Hemson Study for the years , and the revised utility rates. Based on average household water consumption of 200 m3, the average residential household on the Kincardine water system will realize cost savings of $9.88 in 2016 and up to $42.84 in For Tiverton water users, the average cost savings would be $12.40 in 2016, increasing to $60.44 in While the 2% incremental rate increase was developed based on a full-cost recovery approach, there may be additional capital outlays required in the short-term due to the recent extreme winter conditions that may not have been captured in the 10-year capital plan. As a result, the reserve funds may be depleted in the short-term and further rate adjustments may be required in the future. A review of the utility rates will be required in 5 years to ensure that the water systems continue to remain financially viable. Council is being requested to adopt the following resolution: WHEREAS pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water Act, 2002 and Ontario Regulation 453/07 financial plans are required for municipal drinking water licence applications; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the Municipality of Kincardine approve the Water Financial Plan for the Kincardine Service Area (Plan # A) and for the Tiverton Service Area (Plan # ); AND FURTHER THAT the Kincardine Area and Tiverton Area Drinking Water Systems are financially viable; AND FURTHER THAT Council receive the Water and Wastewater Rate Study as presented by Hemson Consulting. Community Plan and Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP) Considerations: Our community will be water efficient and waste conservative minimizing our impacts on the natural environment. Financial Considerations: By approving the Financial Plans, Council endorses the financial viability of the Municipality s water systems. The Financial Plans and rate studies collectively, will be used to form the basis for developing the user fees in 2016 and beyond. Options: 1. That Council approve the above motion as proposed. 2. That Council accept the Water Financial Plans with changes made. 3. That Council not act at this time. Preferred Option: Option 1 Date to be considered by Council: May 6, 2015

9 Council Minutes Page 9 of 12 Wednesday, April 15, 2015 CAO s Comments: I concur. Delegations: Andrew Mirabella, Hemson Consulting The Committee asked questions regarding the amount in the Tiverton Water Reserve, how the fixed and consumption rates are spent, and how life expectancy of pipe is determined. Resolution #04/15/15 C O W- 02 Moved by: Maureen Couture Seconded by: Anne Eadie THAT Committee of the Whole recommend Option 1 to be considered at the May 6, 2015 meeting. Mayor Eadie assumed the chair Councillor Leggett left the meeting during this report (B) Municipality of Kincardine Economic Development (This matter was added to the agenda after public notice was provided.) Mayor Eadie provided an update on creating a new path forward for Economic Development and that the main initiative for this year will be Natural Gas. In addition, the Municipality will be embarking on an engagement exercise with stakeholders to create a new economic development model. In the meantime, the Municipality of Kincardine is open for business and continues to meet with developers such as Smart Centres and the Marriott Hotel as well as Bruce Community Futures Development Corporation on a number of initiatives. The Municipality has also been working with the County on a number of initiatives including the RED Grant and the Tenzing Report. Possible partners for Economic Development might also include the County of Bruce and other Bruce County Municipalities. A new approach will need to be developed before the upcoming budget cycle begins and contain a common vision by staff and Council. The committee also heard concerns regarding the survey done by the Penetangore Regional Economic Development Committee (PREDC) and a request to obtain a legal opinion regarding retracting the funds from PREDC. (C) CLE Subject: Community Investment Grant Allocations Recommendation Attachments: Revised Recommended Allocations Report Summary: In accordance with Policy G.G.3.5 Community Investment Grants; the Community Investment Grants Evaluation Team had met and provide recommended allocations to Council on April 01, 2015 with those recommendations being approved. It has come to the Municipality s attention that the Bluewater Summer Playhouse submitted an application for a grant prior to the deadline last fall, however, municipal staff did not have a record of receiving it. As a result, the Community Investment Grants Evaluation Team is recommending modifications to their earlier recommendations with Bluewater Summer Playhouse now being recommended for a grant. Origin: 2015 Municipal Budget

10 Council Minutes Page 10 of 12 Wednesday, April 15, 2015 Existing Policy: Policy G.G.3.5 Community Investment Grants Analysis: In accordance with the Policy G.G.3.5 Community Investment Grants; the Community Investment Grants Evaluation Team comprised of the Policy Chairs of Recreation Services, Economic Development & Tourism and Arts, Culture & Heritage, the Clerk, and the Treasurer met to review applications and recommend funding allocation for That recommendation was presented to Council and approved April 01, Since that time, Bluewater Summer Playhouse has come forward with information that verifies they submitted an application within the required time frame last fall, even though the Municipality has no record of receiving it. The Playhouse has submitted information regarding the date, time and method of delivery, and the Clerk s office is satisfied that indeed they did submit it within the required deadline. To avoid similar occurrences in the future, staff will be reviewing the process for the next round of funding, to ensure that applicants are aware that staff will acknowledge receipt of their application. Organizations will be asked to follow up, if said is not received from the Municipality. The Evaluation Team had allocated all of the $50,000 funding included in the budget, so there were no monies available to consider this application. Staff did not, however, feel that Bluewater Summer Playhouse should be penalized for something beyond their control, and thus, requested that their application be reviewed as if it had been submitted with the others. The Evaluation Team did so and are recommending the attached allocations. The changes from the previous recommendation are that Bluewater Summer Playhouse receives a $1,500 grant and the grants for the three festivals (Scottish Festival, Summer Music Festival and Blues Festival are reduced from $3,000 by $500 to $2,500 each). All other recommendations from report CLE remain the same. Community Plan and Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP) Considerations: ICSP: Continue to appreciate the role of the arts in economic development, tourism and community; Preserve and promote the Municipality of Kincardine s cultural heritage; Promote active and healthy lifestyles for all ages Financial Considerations: $50,000 was included in the 2015 Municipal Budget, no funds have yet been distributed Options: 1. Approve the changes to the Community Investment Grant allocations as recommended. 2. Approve the changes to the Community Investment Grant allocations with further changes. 3. Take no action at this time. Preferred Option: Option 1 Date to be considered by Council: Council is requested to consider this as a Matter Arising from Committee of the Whole in order to allow the non-profit organizations to begin using these funds immediately for the projects described.
