7. Delegation(s)

7.1 – Jennifer Stephens – General Manager Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority Jennifer Stephens made a presentation to Council discussing the Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority (SVCA) 2021 Budget. She noted that Conservation Authorities have been monitoring and collecting watershed information for decades. Efforts were made to keep the Municipal levy as low as possible for the 2021 budget. The increase was $228 from 2020 to 2021.


Page 3 of 10

The flood management program provides timely and appropriate flood forecasting and warnings for watershed residents, municipalities, and the media. The water quality department collects and interprets knowledge about groundwater, surface water and the aquatic ecology of the SVCA’s watershed. Existing flood and erosion control structures are inspected annually. Conservation education assists watershed residents in acquiring the knowledge, skills, and commitment to make informed decisions and constructive actions concerning the wise use of natural resources. On December 8th, amendments were passed by the Ontario Provincial Government which will impact the SVCA. The Authority will keep the member municipalities informed regarding these amendments. Council thanked Jennifer for her presentation. 7.2 - Miguel Pelletier – Director, Transportation and Environmental Services for Bruce County – Arran Township Shed Bridge Closure Miguel Pelletier, Director, Transportation and Environmental Services for Bruce County discussed the Arran Township Shed Bridge Closure. He noted that he wanted to inform the Council about the situation of the subject bridge, provide an outline of the factors and options considered, advise of proposed recommendation to the County Transportation and Environmental Services Committee and to get feedback from the municipality. The bridge, which is located on Concession 6, Arran, crossing the Sauble River, is a 33-metre single lane span steel truss bridge built in 1913 with a maximum load rating of 18 tonnes. The wood deck was originally designed for horse and carriage traffic. To rehabilitate the bridge would have an estimated cost of $1,040,000 and would extend the life of the bridge by 20 years. Bridge replacement would be an estimated cost of $2,650,000 with a designed life of 75 years. Repairing the bridge is not an option. The Bridge has several elements in poor condition (wood deck, cross beams, and chords) and has been subject to load restrictions on and off since 1984. The latest restriction is a 5-tonne load limit applied in January 2019 with exception for winter maintenance vehicles. The bridge is regularly observed being overloaded as load restrictions are not obeyed by heavy vehicle


Page 4 of 10

operators. This exception is no longer recommended, and bridge was closed last winter and this coming winter. It is most likely that the bridge will not be in condition to reopen to any traffic this spring. The recommendation to Bruce County’s Transportation and Environmental Services Committee is that the bridge be closed to all traffic. It was also recommended that a pedestrian/bicycle bridge rehabilitation project be developed in 2021 for implementation when funding is available in future years, and that the County develop a plan to transfer the bridge ownership to the Municipality of Arran-Elderslie after the rehabilitation is complete. This recommendation is based on the following factors: - Reduce the County’s bridge portfolio to reduce the infrastructure funding

gap and the need to levy funds over the long–term - Closure will have very low impact on vehicle traffic - Improve quality of life of local residents - Impact on emergency services response can be mitigated Council thanked Mr. Pelletier for his presentation. Works Manager Scott McLeod noted that it would be advantageous to the municipality if the sidewalk plow can get across the bridge. He has not had any issues with the bridge being closed over the winter months.

8. Correspondence 8.1 Requiring Action 8.1.1 – Maxwell Johnston – Paisley Blues Festival – Road Closure Request Subsequent to further discussion, Council passed the following resolution: Moved by: Councillor Greig Seconded by: Councillor Nickason Be it Resolved that the Council of the Municipality of Arran-Elderslie receives the correspondence from Maxwell Johnston and further directs that Church Street be closed (between Queen and Ross Streets) from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. each Saturday afternoon from June 26 to August 28th, 2021 to allow for the Paisley Blues Festival Summer Series of Music.

4. Public Meeting(s)

4.1 Treasurer 4.1 - SRFIN.20.57 - 2021 Draft Operating and Capital Budget

Tracey Neifer, Treasurer, responded to questions from Members of Council and the public. The first draft budget for 2021 was presented to Council on December 14, 2020. At the direction of Council, staff were tasked with completing a further review of the operating and capital budgets with the objective of: 1. Reducing the tax increase from 3.2% to 2.9% 2. Reducing the withdraw of funds from reserves 3. Updating taxation revenue with the updated assessment roll

• Taxation Revenue – municipal taxation was initially proposed with a levy increase of $159,874 (3.2%) prior to the assessment roll being received and the completion of a more detailed analysis. The 2021 assessment roll reflects growth in total taxable assessment of $7,073,900.

• With a municipal tax rate increase of 2.9% the municipal tax levy increased by $186,277, reflecting an additional $26,403 from the original proposal. From a levy perspective, the tax levy has increased 3.49%.

• The average assessment of a residential property in 2021 has decreased by $4,385 assessment and an increase in municipal taxation of $3.52.

• Ontario Grants – Phase 2 Restart funding was recently announced for 2021, $37,000 has been included in the operating budget to offset costs related to the Covid-19 pandemic

• Council Remuneration – the operating budget for all staff, union and non-union has been reflected at 1.75%. This has been reflected in the Council’s remuneration, resulting in a net increase of $884

• Saugeen Mobility and Regional Transit (SMART) – the budget has been updated to reflect the 2021 operational budget, as approved by the Board of Directors for Smart. This has resulted in a net decrease of $3,723

• Tara Cemetery – based on a review of the cemetery, additional funds of$5,000 has been allocated for a flower bed at the Columbarium

• Economic Development – additional information has been received based of the work done with the Economic Development Strategic Plan. It was identified that a net increase of $4,700 was required to provide for additional marketing, meetings, and project partnerships

• Transfer to Reserves – to maintain a balanced budget, the above operational changes have provided for an increase in the reserve


Page 3 of 5

transfer of$53,876.

The following projects have been removed or adjusted from the Capital Budget: • Alma & Dundas Street – grade/pave was planned for .345Km covering

Inkerman to Nelson - $25,875 • Arran Landfill Weight Building – the initial proposal of $100,000 has been

reduced by $60,000 to reflect a revised project cost of $40,000 • Centennial Street – grind/pave was planned for 0.26Km covering 1st to

Tower Road - $24,000 • Chesley Arena – bathroom stalls need cosmetic improvements, but is not a

necessity for 2021 -, $8,000 • Paisley Arena – flooring replacement is necessary, but can be deferred to

2022 -, $50,000 • Tara Arena – flooring replacement is necessary but can be deferred to 2022

- $50,000. Theses projects result in a $217,875 reduction to the Capital Budget. Staff have identified a need for a Stormwater Assessment that was not included in the original proposal, which provides an added cost of $30,000. This project has been identified as a project under the Efficiency/Modernization Funds. The Capital Budget reflects a net reduction of $187,875. The budget presented on December 14th had proposed a net decrease in the municipal reserves of $464,607. With the changes proposed by management, there has been a positive impact on the reserves, such that the net decrease has been reduced to $222,856, an improvement of $241,751: • Additional transfer from operations $ 53,876 • Reduction in capital projects $187,875 The operating budget presented includes comparative data for 2020 as of December 9th, noting that the figures are draft as the regular month end reviews for November and December have not yet been completed. The budgets presented are inclusive of all departments except for: ✓ Building – to be presented under a separate report in January ✓ Sewer – a Financial Plan to be presented in January for 2021-2026 ✓ Water – budget has been established under the Water Financial Plan 2021-

2026, SRFIN.20.51, November 9, 2020. The 2021 Capital Plan has been reduced from $5,098,998 to $4,911,123, of which $2,038,228 is related to specific grant applications with ICIP, Investing in


Page 4 of 5

Canada Infrastructure Program, some of which are still awaiting notification of approvals. The following chart provides an overview by key service area and the source of financing for these initiatives, with comparison to the 2020 Capital Plan and the original capital proposal. The most significant impact on reserves is the use of funds to finance capital projects each year. The impact on reserves for new projects that were identified by management for 2021 was $1,718,027 which exceeded the allocation of the tax levy for capital purposes. For the presentation of the first draft of the Capital Budget, staff had deferred two initiatives to reduce the reserve impact, so they continue to be excluded from the 2021 Summary of Capital Projects and the above continuity: ✓ Replacement of a 1999 Sweeper Truck - $375,000 ✓ Paisley Arena Ice Resurfacer - $89,200 Further deferrals of capital projects have been proposed to provide a decrease in the reserve requirements by $187,875. Subsequent to this discussion, Council tabled the following resolution:

Moved by: Councillor Greig Seconded by: Councillor Nickason Be it Resolved

1) That SRFIN.21.03 be received – 2021 Operating and Capital Budget Revised, and,

2) That Council supports the recommendations of this report, and 3) That By-Law 06-21 being a by-law to adopt the budget (estimates of
