Wasaga Beach Fire Department Incident Report August 2015

Form: WB-SR2010

STAFF REPORT


FROM: Doug Vincent, Senior Municipal Law Enforcement Officer

SUBJECT: Municipal Law Enforcement Activities for August 2015


RECOMMENDATION

THAT the Community Services Committee recommends to Council that the Municipal Law Enforcement Department’s August 2015 monthly activity report be received, for information.

BACKGROUND

The following report provides Committee with information on the activities of the Municipal Enforcement Department for the month of August 2015.

DISCUSSION

1. Municipal Law Enforcement (Regulatory By-Law Enforcement):

During the month of August 2015 a total of 344 Calls-For-Service (C.F.S.) or proactive enforcement files were handled by the Department (versus 233- 2014 and 231-2013 and 591-2012). Officers also continue to clear outstanding files and prosecutions from previous occurrences.

All of these calls and files required an investigation, action or inspection as a result of the complaint being filed or the proactive measures being taken. The type of complaints ranged from Property Standards, parking, noise, animal control, business licensing (property standards inspection), and highway obstruction. Attached is an itemized report off all complaints received this past month, now sorted by occurrence type, including date of complaint and action taken during the investigation.

The Department continues to focus efforts on complete the compliance “list” for Sewer & Water connections that have been task to the department to enforce connection to Municipal Services. Forty-five “Director’s Orders” were issued, with various compliance dates and were accompanied by direct phone contact (where possible). We have compliance achieved on 26 files (58%) where they have either completed hook-ups or removed the structures. The remaining files include 2 with open Building Permits (nearly hooked-up), 4 Extensions, 3 Holds (other issues), 6 Court and 4 (9%) files still being actioned. The Department was recently given 6 additional files for investigation.

2. Property Standards Report:

During the month of August 2015, the Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing Department did investigate 119 Property Standards Complaints (versus 66-2014, 72-2013, 213-2012).

The term “Property Standards”, for the purposes of this section, will include investigations and actions initiated under the following by-laws:

1. The “Property Standards” By-law (#99-75) 2. The “Clean Yards” By-law (#2009-50) 3. The “Highway Obstruct” By-law (#93-34) 4. The “Littering” By-law (#82-13)

The combined objectives of these by-laws are to ensure the community’s character and appearance can be maintained in a reasonable state of good order. The overall effect is to maintain property in a condition that neither visually offends, nor creates real or perceived health or nuisance hazards.

Since 2010, the Department has been increasing its compliance activities towards “Property Standards” with a more proactive (versus reactive) approach being taken. This has largely been driven by a conscious shift in residents “beautification” and “greener environment” values being expressed directly to the department and members of Council.

Municipal Law Enforcement (Parking Enforcement):

During the month of August 2015, the Municipal Law Enforcement Department issued 401 parking infraction “notices of violations” of the Town of Wasaga Beach Parking Control By-Law No. 2005-17 (Versus 607-2014 and 845-2013, 407-2012).

(Y.T.D)

3. Departmental Statistics

2015 Court Report Summary

One of the functions of the Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing Department is to investigate possible violations of both municipal and provincial laws (ie. Municipal By-laws, Building Code/Property Standards, Planning Act/Zoning) and then to obtain compliance when and where required. In some situations, the circumstances require that offenders are summoned to Provincial Court to obtain compliance or to be held accountable after the fact.

The purposes of requiring a court appearance can be many - it may be to obtain a fine or to seek additional remedies including restitution or corrective Orders. Additionally, the court may be requested to issue an Order to prohibit repetition or continuance of an offence. The goal of sentencing is to provide a fair and balanced response to inappropriate behaviour that will serve as a deterrent to a specific offender (referred to as “Specific” deterrence).

It may also be intended to send a message to the greater population who might choose to commit a similar violation as to what they might expect if they behave similarly (referred to as a “General” deterrent sentence). The latter form of sentencing is usually imposed to address a “problem” issue in the community.

On August 18th, 2015, the Department attended Provincial Court where 8 matters were set for a trial concerning By-law infractions, including 6 Sewer & Water files and 2 Obstruction (interfere with Officer) files; all matters were remanded to October and December Court Dates. The next court appearance is October 6, 2015 in Wasaga Beach and results will be including in the November Staff Report.

5. Notes: DEMOLITION: Update The department has over-seen the issuance of an RFP and subsequent contract letting for the demolition of 28 Main Street (Red Barn-like structure). The demolition was completed in June and required very labour intensive deconstruction practices. Contractors have now completed the restoration of the external wall on the north side of 28 Main Street.

The paving has been delayed until a soak-away pit for excess surface run-off can be designed and installed at the former 28 Main street foundation area. This is required to protect the remaining building at 32 Main, from any possible structural failures resulting from uncontrolled surface draining in the general area. We have now received design drawings from Burnside Engineering and are awaiting a 3rd quote, as per our purchasing policy, before letting out the contract. Work will be completed in early fall in an estimated 3-5 day window to minimize disruptions.

RESIDENT PARKING PASSES: Update At the July 28, 2015 meeting, Council approved a recommendation of the Community Services Committee to allow the Residential Parking Passes to be permitted in the Municipal Picnic Area. Since the passing of this recommendation, the sales of these passes has exceeded 1,000 (presently 1035) permits, a record number since their implementation in 2006.

TAXI CAB MORATRIUM: Update The Municipal Enforcement & Licensing Department has commenced the review of the current Taxi Cab Industry, as well as the associated Limousine and Shuttle-type Service sectors. The focus of the review is to examine the existing service delivery model and then to explore areas to improve services, both in is’ present form and also examine alternative service delivery options.

5

The Town has now met with the current Taxi and Limo business owners for preliminary discussions on status of the existing industry, it’s effectiveness at meeting customer service demands (from the business owners perspective), the products options currently being offered (including equipment and accessibility status) and areas of concern, limiting factors and future service enhancement options.

The Department will be initiating a public consultation process within 30 days, to gather information, comments and recommendations from both the public and business/institutional sectors. A questionnaire is currently being developed, for distribution at the upcoming meeting as well as being made available through other means that are still being reviewed (ie. Online, tax/water bill insertion, direct mailer, at local businesses?). A preliminary report to Committee is targeted for the November 12, 2015 meeting to report back on findings.

ACCESSIBLE CAB: Update. At the August 25, 2015 Council meeting, the CSC Staff Report concerning Accessible Taxi Cab Licensing, was referred back to staff for further review and recommendations. This issue will now be incorporated in the overall Taxi Cab/ Limo review process and will be included in the November 12, 2015 Staff Report to Committee.

Future Activities:

Continue to enforce sign by-law along highways. Work on Discharge of Firearms By-law for October Committee meeting. Maintaining efforts to monitor and clean-up areas with Graffiti. Departmental operations review to ensure Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing operates

efficiently and effectively.

STAFF REPORT



SUBJECT: Pound Keeper Agreement – New Contract with Georgian Triangle Humane Society


RECOMMENDATION

THAT the Community Services Committee recommends to Council that the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute the attached 5-year agreement for Pound Keeper Services with the Georgian Triangle Humane Society.

BACKGROUND

The Town of Wasaga Beach entered into a Pound Services Provider agreement with the Georgian Triangle Humane Society in December 2011 for a period of 4 years to provide for the care and refuge of impounded municipal dogs. That agreement is set to expire on December 15, 2015.

Prior to utilizing the services of the Georgian Triangle Humane Society, the municipality, along with 3 other municipalities, had a longstanding arrangement with Abernant Vet Services, a Stayner area vet. In 2011, all municipalities were given notice that these services were no longer available and each municipality sought a new pound services provider that best suited each municipality’s needs. Each municipality then found their own services provider separately and a “Shared service” location was no longer available.

The Georgian Triangle Humane Society was successful in, the RFP process, by a significant margin (53% lower) over another Clearview bidder (See Dec. 2011 Report attached).

Over the course of the present agreement, the Georgian Triangle Humane Society has met, and often exceeded the requirements of the contract, providing an excellent level of care, record keeping as well as punctual and accurate financial accountability/and remittance.

DISCUSSION

The Senior Municipal Law Enforcement Officer entered into discussions about renewing the agreement in June 2015 with the Georgian Triangle Humane Society executives. As part of the review staff reviewed the previous 4-year performance under the existing Pound Services agreement.

The attached proposed new agreement has 4 changes from the original apart from an updated fee schedule, as follows:

1) At item #26, the invoicing remittance (transaction details) be changed from monthly to quarterly,

2

2) A paragraph (originally #40) is deleted which pertained to veterinarian services handling during the 4-7th day hold period before the Georgian Triangle Humane Society obtained “ownership on 8th day”. This has been replaced with “ownership of an impounded dog shall pass to the Georgian Triangle Humane Society on the 4th Full Day of impoundment unless the municipality advises they are not wanting ownership transferral until notified. Where such notification is given, the municipality will pay the nightly fee agreed to from time to time, until the dog is transferred or the dog is returned to owner, where such owner is liable for additional fees billed to the Town, in addition to standard fees required”.

3) Paragraph 60- Notice period is changed from 120 days to 180 days. 4) Item 1, change from 4-year term to five (5) year term.

It is recommended that the previous 2% annual increment in Annual Remuneration be continued with the proposed new agreement. This would mean the proposed annual amount (including HST) is as follows:

YEAR DATES COVERED AMOUNT (includes HST)

PAYABLE

Year 1 December 16, 2015 to December 15, 2016 $10,396.80 12 Equal Monthly instalments


Year 3 December 16, 2017 to December 15, 2018 $10, 616.80 12 Equal Monthly instalments



OPTIONS

A. Enter into new agreement as attached; B. Direct staff, with instructions to return to negotiations to seek a better agreement; C. Put the services out in a Request for Proposal, and report back when available.

The Senior Municipal Law Enforcement Officer believes the proposed annual 2% fee increases are fair and that the RFP procedure would not likely provide a similar or more economical service and recommends OPTION A; Enter into a new agreement, be selected. This is a single source purchasing action which is permitted under the Purchasing By-law.

STAFF REPORT

TO: General Government Committee


SUBJECT: Animal Control “Pound-Services” Provider - RFP

DATE: December 8, 2011

RECOMMENDATION

THAT the General Government Committee recommend to Council that the Town enter into a four-year contract with the Georgian Triangle Humane Society for the supply of Pound Services for dogs impounded in the Town of Wasaga Beach.

BACKGROUND

The Town of Wasaga Beach, under the authority of its’ Animal Control By-Law #2002-63 (as amended), and Provincial legislation, regulates the ownership, keeping and control of dogs. Provincial legislation governs the establishment and operations of “Pounds” that hold animals.

Wasaga Beach has, through a long-standing services contract, established and maintained a Municipal Dog Pound with Abernant Veterinary Services located on Highway #26 in Clearview Township, to hold and care for dogs picked up running loose within the municipality. Three other Municipalities: Essa Township, Clearview Township and Springwater Township also utilize this facility.

In September 2011, Abernant Veterinary Services came under new ownership and shortly afterwards all four municipalities, including the Town of Wasaga Beach, were placed on notice that they will no longer be providing service as of December 15, 2011.

Following this notification, representatives of the affected municipalities met to discuss options and find possible solutions. All agreed a similar shared-service facility would be ideal but likely hard to find. Each municipality decided to issue its own RFP/Q (Request For Proposal/Quote) which contained an “information sharing” clause that allowed the respective bidders information, including offers of proposed service levels, to be freely shared with the other municipalities so that they could establish one or more service locations.

2

In October, the Town of Wasaga Beach issued a three-part RFP for the supply of: Part I- Dog Pound Services Part II- Animal Control Services- Only Part III- Pound & Animal Control Services- Combined

While our current Animal Control Services Contract (Part II) is due to expire in April 2012, it was thought to be expedient to solicit the level of interest and potential costs at this time. The immediate goal of this exercise is to re-establish new Municipal pound.

The third (Part III) service option provided the opportunity for someone to propose a “one-step” “capture & impoundment” business model that currently exists in some other municipalities.

DISCUSSION

At the close of this RFP (Nov 18th/11), two (2) bids were received under Part I (Pound Services- Only) and zero (0) bids were received under Part III (Animal Control & Pound Services- Combined). There were also two (2) bids received under Part II (Animal Control Services- Only) but will not be included in this report as the present goal is to re-establish a new “Pound” facility immediately.

Bids for the Pound-Only (Part I) were received from the following prospective service providers:

1. Georgian Triangle Humane Society, 10th Line, Collingwood 2. Clearview Canine Control, 3rd Concession, New Lowell

Bidders were given the option to bid on a “per/dog, per/day fee-for-services basis and/or an “Annual” Unlimited Events” service. The following bids were received based upon the Town of Wasaga Beach’s historic volume estimate of 5 dogs/month (60 annually) with approximately 80% pick-up in first 24hrs and 12 dogs unclaimed annually. Further, the Municipality will pay up to 7 days holding, after which the ownership transfers to the Service Provider.

Bid Amounts 1. Georgian Triangle Humane Society

a) Fee for Service (per/dog & per/day) b)

Admin/Intake Daily Boarding (max. 7 days) 2011 $90.40 $33.90 2012 $92.21 $34.58 2013 $94.05 $35.27 2014 $95.93 $35.97

3

c) Annual (Unlimited)

2011 $9,605.00 2012 $9,797.10 2013 $9,993.00 2014 $10,192.90

d) Other terms and conditions of RFP: - All acknowledged and agreed to.

2. Clearview Canine Centre a) Fee for Service (per/dog & per/day)

- Not tendered.

b) Annual (Unlimited) 2011 $14,676.00 2012 $14,676.00 2013 $14,676.00 2014 $17,904.00

c) Other terms and conditions of RFP: - Only acknowledged limited few.

Cost Analysis

1. Georgian Triangle Humane Society

a) Fee for Service (60 dogs/yr./80% recovery- 1 Day)

2011 $9,900.00 ($165/dog) 2014 $10,500.00 ($175/dog)

b) Annual-Unlimited (no cap on # of dogs or length of stay)

2011 $9,605.00 ($160/dog- reducing if more than 60 dogs)

2014 $10,192.90 ($170/dog- reducing if more than 60 dogs)

4

2. Clearview Canine Centre a) Fee per Service

- No Bid

b) Annual- Max. 60 dogs

2011 $14,676.00 ($245/dog- 1st 60 only) 2014 $17,904.00 ($298/dog- 1st 60 only)

Travel Distances/Times- From Sunnidale & Mosley Intersection to: 1) Georgian Triangle- 15.9km (16min) 2) Clearview Canine- 19.1km (18min)

to Abernant’s- 6.4km (5min)

Facility-Inspections Both Georgian Triangle Humane Society and Clearview Canine Centre were inspected. The Georgian Triangle Humane Society facility provided more care options.

Access to Veterinary Services While not part of the RFP, the proximity to Veterinary Services (for required Rabies inoculation for client licensing) needs to be relatively close. Georgian Triangle Humane Society was under 1km (and has visiting Vet), while Clearview Canine Centre was 10+km and no on-site vet services.

Based upon a review of all parameters examined, the Georgian Triangle Humane Society proposal provides the best value and service at the most economical rate presently available.

Respectively Submitted,

Doug Vincent

STAFF REPORT



SUBJECT: Animal Control Services Delivery


RECOMMENDATION

THAT the Community Services Committee recommends to Council that it authorize the Mayor and Clerk to enter into an Animal Control Services Contract with Redneck Wildlife Animal Control for a five year period; and further;

THAT the Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing Department be authorized to perform the dispatch service for Redneck Wildlife Animal Control for evenings, weekends and holidays as outlined in this report.

BACKGROUND

The Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing Department is currently seeking to re-establish the municipality’s Animal Control Services since the unexpected loss, in December 2014, of the Officer who had been providing these services for many years. Fulltime staff stepped in and took over providing Animal Control Services as needed, on an on-call/call-out basis. Later in March 2015, Council approved the hiring of Redneck Wildlife Control to provide interim Animal Control Services until a full review and report on options could be brought forward.

On February 12, 2015 the Community Services Committee received a Staff Report from the Senior Municipal Law Enforcement Officer, and directed an R.F.P. for Animal Control Services be prepared and be brought back to Committee for approval.

On March 19, 2015 the Community Services Committee approved the R.F.P. for Animal Control Services, and further approved a request from the Senior Municipal Law Enforcement Officer to hire an interim animal control services provider. This independent contractor would provide emergency services of dog impoundment and dead animal pick-up/disposal, on an “as-needed” basis, until a new service model is decided upon and is in place.

Mr. Eric Bronee o/a Redneck Wildlife Control was subsequently appointed an interim Animal Control Officer; his company has continued to provide services to the municipality since this appointment.

The R.F.P. process produced only two (2) responses from interested parties; one bidder (Mr. Dwight Pilkey) submitted a bid under PART I only- BASIC/FULL SERVICES SECTIONS, and the other bidder (Eric Bronee of Redneck Wildlife Control) submitted various bids under PART II only – DOG IMPOUNDMENT/DEAD ANIMAL PICK-UP SERVICES SECTION.

2

Mr. Pilkey’s bid under PART I was for the “Full Service” Option only ($48,000); this required prerequisite knowledge and skill sets in law enforcement to act independently as an enforcement officer. This bidder was tested in knowledge and skill, as per R.F.P. conditions, and found to be deficient in several required core areas, effectively negating this bid. This means that currently, only 1 bidder, Redneck Wildlife Control, remains within the terms of the R.F.P. This bid was for a fee-for-service basis only, either individual occurrence based or monthly rates.

The Municipality has now directly overseen the Animal Control Services program for the last eight (8) months, including a 5 month “Review” period. The program consisted of the use of the interim Animal Control Officer, who simply responded to callouts for dog impoundment or dead animal pickups, dispatched by the municipality.

During the “review” period the municipality screened all animal control calls, including calls received during day-time business hours, as well as evening and weekend calls. Municipal Staff then managed the required responses to minimize the timing and frequency of “call-outs” to the interim Animal Services provider and to screen out animal attack reports, police/other agency assistance calls as well as “non-respondable” inquiries or Animal Control by-law related inquiries (Licensing, Poop n Scoop, noise, etc.)

This pre-screening/dispatch system proved to be very effective at reducing the number of dogs needing to be impounded, responding quickly to retrieve dead animals and better managing and responding to Animal Control by-law complaints, especially dog bite investigations and nuisance barking calls.

During the 22 week review period, the interim Animal Control Officer responded to 41 calls for service (1.9 calls/week), impounding 10 dogs, and picking up 41 deceased animals, including 4 deer. Additionally, the Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing Department maintained an officer on-call ($225/week cost) to respond to Public complaints that are animal control related, on evenings and weekends. Approximately 8 calls per week were received by the on-call services which handled, in addition to the 41 Animal Control Officer call-outs, 9 dog bite incidents, 16 lost (no pick-up) or found dogs, 15 dog barking, 10 running-at-large, 5 alternate support services (MNR, OPP), 35 nuisance wildlife/domestic animals as well as 40 non-respondable calls (cat in tree, saw bear tracks, etc.)

DISCUSSION

Animal Numbers

Dog Impoundment Service- Numbers Previous data analysis for the Pound Contract has predicted a solid 4-year average of 56 dogs/year impounded. While numbers fluctuate seasonally, the 4-year review provides a reasonable base line.

DOG IMPOUND- AVERAGE 56 PER YEAR

Dead Animal Pick-Up Service- Numbers The 5-month review period and additional 3 month in-house (January-March) experience has provided essential data, never before recorded, concerning dead animal pick-up volumes. This provides a reasonable base-line to project anticipated workloads (as associated costs).

DEAD ANIMAL- AVERAGE 1.9 PER WEEK OR 100 PER YEAR

3

Financial Projections

Dog Impoundment Service- Projected Cost During the review period, the Town paid a negotiated rate of $125/dog to impound dogs. This rate reflected a long-standing rate paid to our previous Animal Control Officer, while performing services in the municipality of Springwater. Also, Redneck Wildlife Services is currently supplying this same service to the Municipality of Springwater at a rate of $125/dog call-out,

ANNUAL IMPOUNDMENT COST ESTIMATE: $125 x 56 DOGS = $7,000

Dead-Animal Pick-Up- Projected Cost During the review period, the Town paid Redneck Wildlife Control various negotiated rates (deer, squirrel, skunk), including a single fee for up to 3 small animals on the same “run”. The average pick-up and disposal cost was $80.00 per trip.

ANNUAL DEAD ANIMAL PICK-UP COST ESTIMATE: $80 x 100/YR = $8,000

Municipal On-Call Services- Projected Costs During the review period, Town Staff acted in an on-call capacity during weeknight/weekend/Stat Holiday hours to handle all Animal Control complaints, dog bites, found animals and to dispatch for pick-ups. They were paid a similar rate that was established in the present CUPE contract; this equated to $225 for entire week/weekend coverage; they average 8 calls/week. It is recommended that the service be continued but the rate reduced to $175/week plus a $50/day premium for Stat Holidays.

ANNUAL ON-CALL SUPPORT SERVICES COST ESTIMATE: $9,500

Annual Animal Control & Support Services Cost Estimate:

Animal Impoundment & Pick-up: $15,000/yr Municipal On-Call Support Service: $9,500/yr Miscellaneous Support Services: $1,500/yr

$26,000/yr

Previous annual cost for long standing Animal Control Services – ($40,000)

R.F.P.- Bid Submissions

Comparison to Projections

BID (RWC) PROJECTED Dog Impoundment $150/dog or $900/month ($10,800/yr) vs. $7,000/yr

Dead Animal Pick-Up $75/animal or $1,500/month ($18,000/yr) vs. $8,000/yr

$28,800/yr vs. $15,000/yr

OPTION 1 Canvas Redneck Wildlife Control to ascertain if they will accept the projected lower amount for services, and if so, prepare a contract for execution that reflects that acceptance and bring forward to Council.

Note: The discussion has occurred and the owner is prepared to accept the lower amount for services. His preference is to respond to dispatched calls rather than deal with the public directly.

OPTION 2 That the Community Services Committee, where no agreement is reached under Option 1, direct that a new R.F.P. be released to again seek qualified bids and report back to Council.

OPTION 3 That the Community Services Committee direct that the Senior Municipal Law Enforcement Officer bring back a new report concerning bringing the Animal Control Services in-house, and provide a full analysis.

OPTION 4Other direction of Community Services Committee.

Given the owner of Redneck Wildlife Control is prepared to accept the lower estimated cost, it is recommended that Committee recommend to Council that the contract for the provision of animal control services be awarded to him.

It is further recommended that staff in the By-law Department be authorized to continue to perform dispatch services for animal control services based on the current service level.

The combination of these two aspects provides a high level of service to the public at a reduced cost to the taxpayer compared to the arrangement with the previous long standing animal control officer.

STAFF REPORT



SUBJECT: Watercourse Protection By-Law


RECOMMENDATION

The Community Services Committee recommends to Council that it approve a new Watercourse Protection By-law for the municipality.

BACKGROUND

In recent years, the municipality has received numerous complaints about activities that may negatively affect watercourses including the Nottawasaga River and Beachfront Areas.

These activities have included the intentional dumping of leaves and yard waste into the river that, among other things, adds to the black muck and detritus that washes up upon the main beaches. Pools and spas containing chemicals have also been witnessed being emptied directly into the watercourse. Additionally, other occurrences have been reported of garbage and waste materials that have been accidentally or intentionally dumped into the river.

The municipality is also seeing an increased frequency of complaints of deteriorating breakwalls and associated bank deterioration and entry into the river of a wide range of debris.

These complaints eventually caught the attention of the River Resources Committee at the October 28, 2013 meeting, where a presentation from Jason Ruttan was heard. The Committee discussed the feasibility of creating a public education program and also exploring the possibility of establishing a regulatory by-law.

The Public Works Department then created an information brochure entitled “Dumping into the Nottawasaga River and Other Watercourses”, which was distributed in the early 2014 Municipal Water Bills (see attached).

The Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing Department was then asked to explore the possibility of creating a regulatory by-law to address the issue of “dumping” into the River. The department then sought out a legal opinion as to the Municipal Jurisdiction to regulate such matters over the provincially owned watercourses within the Town of Wasaga Beach.

2

DISCUSSION

The Town and its inhabitants recognize and understand the importance of the “water” to Wasaga Beach. It is the central focus of our recreational tourist activities and vital to the economic engine of the community. It also provides a desirable residential location with significant property values, and associated property tax revenue. Additionally, it is a living ecosystem with unique environmental benefits to visitors and residents alike; it is worth protecting.

The importance of these benefits to the Municipality enables the Town, through the strength of the new Municipal Act, to exercise jurisdiction over the River (and other watercourses) to protect and enhance the social, economic and environmental wellbeing of the community.

The Supreme Court has now affirmed these new “municipal powers” to ensure municipal governments can “achieve the legitimate interests of the municipality and its inhabitants”. These powers can co-exist with other Provincial or Federal regulation, but only to the extent they achieve the same purpose and do not frustrate the purpose of the respective federal or provincial legislation.

This proposed Watercourse By-law will enable the municipality to deal with both the “dumping” issues as well as the maintenance and care of the current shoreline structures, both areas we presently have been unable to address adequately.

It also provides the ability of the Municipality to issue orders to cleanup, repair or remove offending materials. This also allows the municipality to effect repairs where the others refuse, and the costs can be added to the tax rolls.

Upon approval of this by-law, the Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing Department intends to seek approval from the Senior Justice, to enable a “ticket” be issued for “dumping” offences and for “failure to comply with an Order”. A set-fine will be sought of $300 dollars for dumping and $500 dollars for failure to comply with an Order. These will allow for immediate penalty action (issuing a Ticket) without first appearing in court. These fines will serve as an immediate deterrent to raking or blowing your leaves in the river. Such fines would first need approval of Senior Justice of the Province of Ontario.

STAFF REPORT



SUBJECT: Proposed New Draft Noise By-law


RECOMMENDATION

The Community Services Committee recommends to Council that it table the attached proposed new Noise By-law for review and discussion.

BACKGROUND

Presently, the Town is using a consolidated (2002) Noise By-law that amalgamated four (4) previous By-laws (#87-1, #89-58, #99-18 and #99-19) and has had an additional amendment concerning snow maintenance equipment noise exemptions (2008-103), in 2008.

The current by-law is poorly worded and extremely hard to enforce. It restricts noise 24 hrs/day which has created frustration and challenges for residents, local business owners and the Officers who must seek compliance with the by-law the way it is written. It has also been difficult for members of Council to explain how the by-law is enforced to those who have noise by-law complaints. As a result of all these factors, Committee requested that the by-law be reviewed and updated.

DISCUSSION

The Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing Department has revamped the By-law to balance the expectation to be respectful of other people’s need for peaceful enjoyment of their property while acknowledging the “norms” of a summer tourist destination area. The expectations and experience at a tourist destination must meet the needs of vacationers and residents alike.

Highlights – REVISED “QUIET” TIMES:

- 11PM – 7AM – RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES

- 12PM – 7AM – COMMERCIAL TOURIST BUSINESSES, BARS/ RESTAURANTS (that serve alcohol and provide musical entertainment from time to time) that are located within 225 meters of R1 residential properties.

- 2AM – 7AM – COMMERCIAL BARS/RESTAURANTS (that serve alcohol and provide musical entertainment from time to time) that are located more than 225m from R1 residential properties.

2

Highlights – OTHER CHANGES:

- Excessive noise “escape clause” to deal with real “unreasonable” noise situations- to be utilized judiciously.

- Extended Summer Construction Hours on weekdays 7AM – 9PM (instead of 7PM) June 1- August 31

- Owner can also be held responsible clause (for noise on property)

- Minimum $500 fine for 1st offence

Review Period

The Senior Municipal Law Enforcement Officer is inviting comments and questions on the proposed new by-law over the next 2 weeks before a final document is presented to committee for recommendation.

The attached by-law is proposed to be tabled for review and discussion.

STAFF REPORT TO: Community Services Committee

FROM: Gerry Reinders, Manager of Parks, Facilities & Recreation

SUBJECT: Parks, Facilities and Recreation Report


RECOMMENDATION:

THAT the Community Services Committee does hereby receive the Parks, Facilities and Recreation monthly activity report as information.

BACKGROUND:

The Senior Administrative Assistant was able to have the 2015/16 Fall & Winter Brochure ready ahead of schedule and it was sent out to all residents the week of August 17th. The brochure looks great and has all the updated information for events, programs and contacts for the many other recreational opportunities in Wasaga Beach. Darlene was once again able to secure advertising that will cover approximately 80% of the brochure costs.

The 8th annual Mayors Golf Challenge was held on Friday, August 28th, at the Marlwood Golf & Country Club. Despite the short preparation time we did have close to a full complement of golfer’s turnout to support the event and enjoy a beautiful summers day. Once again we’d like to thank 97.7 The Beach for being our co-sponsor and assisting in promoting the event and also all the businesses for their donations and hole sponsors.

Planning is presently underway for the dedication ceremony of Peacekeepers Park and Veterans Way, which is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 17. Additional information will be sent out once the agenda and invitations are finalized.

Jazz and More in the Park has been receiving some fantastic reviews so far this summer. We have seen attendance range from 150 people to 350 people. Tuesday, September 1st, was the last performance for the 2015 performances and through the summer we have had over 1700 people attend the event. The Recreation Coordinator has also been circulating advertising pamphlets for Dinner and a Movie event at the last two shows and an announcement prior to the performance will also be made.

The Wacky Boat Regatta event has been postponed to September 13th, 2015 with a goal of achieving a minimum of 8 registrations. Prior to postponing the event to a later date, only one registration was processed and this was completed online. Promotion of this event so far has included a significant advertising campaign between 97.7 The Beach and the Wasaga Sun. Over 400 team registration packages have been printed and delivered to business in and surrounding Wasaga Beach. 40 sponsorship packages have been delivered in person and through the mail. 50 Posters were printed and distributed around Wasaga Beach. Extensive follow up phone calls have been placed and personal visits to businesses in Wasaga Beach with hand delivered sponsorship and team registration packages.

2

The Nancy Island Lions Club has also hand delivered over 30 team registration packages and have not submitted any teams as of today (September 1st, 2015). The dead line for team registration is this Friday, September 5th, 2015. Prior to registration closing Josh will be going around to business again with access to the online registration on Wednesday, September 2nd, 2015. All entertainment and event suppliers have been updated with current information regarding the date change and possibility of cancelation.

A needs assessment for the Wasaga Beach Adult Recreation League Project in partnership with the Wasaga Beach YMCA has been distributed electronically. So far we have gathered 111 responses that will allow the programmers an opportunity to identify some significant trends regarding the needs of the community in terms of adult recreation. The needs assessment thus far gives reason to believe that this project is on the right track and that adults in Wasaga Beach are indeed seeking more opportunities to participate in organized recreation sports.

The YMCA and the Recreation Program Department have almost finalized an agreement to offer cooperative programming specifically for the upcoming Fall/Winter adult volley ball league.

The Recreation Coordinator will be scheduling committee meetings for Snowman Mania beginning in September. Recruitment of new committee members has also begun and phone calls to schedule entertainment have been placed. Sponsorship discussions with local media such as 97.7 The Beach and the Wasaga Sun have taken place and the two advertising companies have started to put together package proposals.

A proposal has been put together which outlines the costs associated with upgrading the Book King Registration System (our current software service provider) for Parks, Facilities and Recreation. These upgrades would also benefit events such as the Wacky Boat Regatta, Mayor’s Golf Challenge, Geocaching, Self Defense Seminar and Snowman Mania through offering online registration. Moving forward with enhancing our number of modules we deliver from Book King in the opinion of the Recreation Coordinator is the best fit for the Town of Wasaga Beach at this time. Some of the benefits to staying with Book King are that we already have a relationship with the customer support team, we would not need to completely retrain our staff, and the cost of their software is very reasonable in comparison to other registration software service providers. The information includes hardware upgrades at the service end of the registration system which include a touch screen monitor, cash drawer and recite printer. Making these upgrades will allow for a more seamless flow of registration, payment, administration and developing reports. Revising this process to building client accounts and take registrations on the computer as the customer is at the desk with a receipt printed automatically upon registration will ultimately make registering a more customer friendly experience and allow front end staff to eliminate the timely task of building class lists and reports. This process will also allow us to track registration trends and see when our strongest registration periods are taking place. In turn, we can promote registration time periods more effectively to drive participation in the programs and events we offer. Additional training on the new modules will be offered and a request has been made to allow recreation programmers to sit through training on the Program Registration modules in order to use more effectively.

The Recreation Programmer has also been working on a number of other initiatives to enhance the Sports Park facility uses including a summer multi-sports camp, football, possibly providing volley ball courts at the site.

About three weeks ago we added Pickle Ball lines to the Town Hall Tennis Court. With the court surfacing being a dark blue colour, and the tennis lines painted white, we decided to paint the pickle ball lines a lighter shade of blue, as recommended by multi-court contractors.

3

To date we have received concerns from two tennis players in regards to confusion by the extra set of lines but no complaints from the pickleball players that are utilizing the same court. We’ll continue to monitor it to see if there’s a large backlash from either group but we believe that once they get used to the extra set of lines that they’ll be more comfortable with them. Four sets of Pickle Ball lines were also added to the double concrete tennis courts at the Oakview Woods facility in order to accommodate the clubs activities next year when we re-construct the court a Wasaga sands. Once that construction is complete we’ll adjust the lines and to accommodate two courts so that they can use the tennis nets, similar to the town hall court.

The parks staff has started aerating; seeding and top dressing a number of feature/high profile areas and then, once the sports field activities slow down, will be applying the same program to a number of those facilities. In all we have about fifteen areas that will be addressed.

The five parks maintenance summer students will be finished on September 4th and returning to school. Overall we were pleased with the complement of staff and the duties they were able to perform while they were with us for the four month period.

Along with their regular duties of maintaining sports fields, trails, parks and open space areas, cemetery etc., the Parks areas of the department has been busy providing set-up and tear down for a number of special events over the past few months. We still have a few weekend ball and soccer tournaments scheduled for the Sports Park along with some event set-ups and two tree planting events

President’s Youth Cup soccer finals - August Lithuanian Ball Tournament August 29-30 Stage Set-up/tear down for Memories of Summer September 3 Co-ed Ball Tournament Sept. 13 Set up for Wacky Boat races September 13 Wasaga Beach Bluesfest set-up/tear down Sept 12–14 TD Tree Planting Sept 27 at Marl Lake Village Trail Maple Leaf Day Planting at the Sports Park – planting day with the students will be on Sept 23

and the official ceremony will take place on Thursday, September 24

The Youth Coordinator put out an RFQ for the provision of DJ services for the 2015/16Youth Dances with four DJ’s submitting quotes. We have chosen to hire DJ Chuckie B of DJ Nation Canada as scored the highest on the criteria laid out in the RFQ. He will be providing music videos for all of the dances, as well as lighting effects, swag giveaways, and a photo booth.

The Youth Centre has met with Stormie Choi, Acting Beach Stewardship Coordinator for Ontario Parks, and partnered with them for the youth to volunteer at the Beach helping with beach clean-up. Shelley has been busy finalizing details for this year’s school programs and has sent the school marketing materials to the School Boards for approval.

The Youth Centre Garage has been re-painted and organized, the grand opening will be Saturday, September 5th 4pm-7pm, the community is invited to see what the refreshed space has to offer and partake in a short yoga class

Respectfully submitted,
