8.8 FIRE
8.8.1 Proposed Comments on Fire Protection and Prevention Act
(FPPA) Regulation Changes
Resolution No. 18-092
Moved by Andrew MacAlpine
Seconded by Don Brunk
THAT the Council of the Township of Perth East receive the report entitled
Proposed Comments on Fire Protection and Prevention Act (FPPA) Regulation
Changes, dated March 6, 2018, prepared by the Fire Chief for information;
AND THAT Council instruct the Fire Chief to submit these fourteen (14) comments
to the Ontario Regulatory Registry prior to the March 11, 2018 deadline
1. As we are already well into our 2018 budget process it would make sense to
delay the implementation date of the changes until at least January 1, 2020, if
not longer, to allow Council and the Fire Department to make necessary
training funding decisions.
2. As there will be additional mandatory training and certification requirements,
which will add to our training budget, the Provincial Government should be
required to contribute funding.
3. Since the mandatory training and certification doesn’t apply to all members of
the Fire Department, this change will in essence be creating two levels of
Firefighters (grandfathered and certified). To provide protection to
Municipalities, the Province should provide clear liability indemnification 12
months prior to the regulations coming into force.
4. To improve the deliverability of the training, and subsequent testing, there
should be enhanced online opportunities made available to the fire service.
5. The proposed internship program of 24 months applies to new hires operating
under the supervision of a Firefighter. To assist with succession planning this
should be enhanced to include all applicable areas and positions, such as Fire
Inspectors and Fire Officer I & II, replacing the limiting language found in
section 3(b).
6. Table 1, of the proposed regulation, details the mandatory certification service
and the required standard. It should be revised to include wording that ensures
future updates to NFPA standards are implemented by the Authority Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ) as standards are updated, published, and testing/skills are
made available. This will support and complete the certification process.
7. Certification for some individual chapters within NFPA 1006 may not be
available for the January 1, 2020 deadline. Therefore, additional wording
should be added to the regulations, allowing the AHJ to manage the
implementation of NFPA 1006 Technical Rescue as the standards are
updated, published, and testing/skills are made available, in order to support
and complete the certification process.
8. That the reference to building stock and classifications should use MPAC data
to classify building usage in regards to fire risk.
9. That the line about reporting the “state of compliance within the fire code” in
Section 2 be deleted, as this is directly dependent upon Municipalities’ set level
of service for fire prevention (e.g. fire inspections upon request or complaints
as permitted, under the FPPA).
PE-10
REGULAR MEETING OF COUNCIL MARCH 6, 2018 PAGE 040-18
10. That Section 6 be removed. In a multi-tier government (e.g. lower-tier fire,
upper-tier EMS and provincial police), the data required for a public safety
response profile, as currently called for in the draft regulation, is not attainable.
11. That the mandatory risk assessment for fire, under Section 7 of this regulation,
be clarified in regards to content and formatting as a stand-alone document.
12. That Section 9(2) be edited to remove the requirement to compare to other
“like” Municipalities, as this data is not readily available. Reporting against
provincial trends would be more appropriate.
13. That an overhaul of Ontario’s Standard Incident Reporting (SIR) framework is
completed before any legislation on public reporting, such as this, be
implemented.
14. That the Technical Table should reconvene to discuss SIR system
improvements and implementation strategies, while the proposed regulation
on Public Reporting is put on hold.

Claassen Municipal Drain 2018 Township of Perth East
(Mornington Ward) To the Mayor and Council of the Township of Perth East Members of Council:
Introduction
We are pleased to present our report on the “Claassen Municipal Drain 2018”, serving parts of Lots 12 and 13, Concession 1 in the Township of Perth East, Mornington Ward, County of Perth.
Authority to prepare this report was obtained by a resolution of the Township of Perth East Council at its March 1, 2016 meeting to appoint Dietrich Engineering Limited to prepare an Engineer’s Report.
In accordance with your instructions pursuant to a petition received by Council under Section 4 of the Drainage Act, R.S.O. 1990, signed by Petrus Beerepoot and Petronella Beerepoot-Kenter (former owners of Part Lot 12, Concession 1 – Roll No. 2-017), we have made an examination and survey of the affected area and submit herewith our Report which includes Plan, Profile and Specifications for this work.
The area requiring drainage is Part of Lot 12, Concession 1, Mornington Ward. The petition is valid in compliance with Section 4(1)(a) of the Drainage Act, R.S.O. 1990.
The attached Plan and Profile, Drawing No. 1, Reference No. 1615, Specifications and the Instructions to Tenderers form part of this report. They show and describe in detail the location and extent of the work to be done and the lands which are affected.
The outlet for this drain is the North Black Creek Municipal Drain.
On-Site Meeting
In accordance with Section 9(1) of the Drainage Act, R.S.O. 1990, an on-site meeting was held on December 19, 2016. The place of meeting was on Road 124, adjacent to Lot 12, Concession 1 in Mornington Ward. Persons in attendance were:
William Dietrich, P. Eng. Dietrich Engineering Limited Petrus and Elisabeth Claassen Landowners Steven Van Nes Landowner representing 2395240 Ontario Inc. John and Elsie May Kuntze Landowners

Information Meeting
An information meeting was held on February 9, 2018 at the Township of Perth East Municipal Office. Persons in attendance were:
William Dietrich, P. Eng. Dietrich Engineering Limited Stephen Brickman, P. Eng. Dietrich Engineering Limited Petrus Claassen Landowner Steven Van Nes Landowner representing 2395240 Ontario Inc. John and Elsie May Kuntze Landowners
The information provided proposed constructing the Claassen Municipal Drain from its outlet into the North Black Creek Drain in Lot 13, Concession 1, to the west road limit of Road 124 adjacent to Lot 12, Concession 1, Township of Perth East, (Mornington Ward). This meeting provided a review of the design of the proposed drainage system, the estimated costs of the project and proposed assessments.
Findings
We have made an examination of the drainage area and have found the following:
1. The P. Claassen and E. Rombouts-Claassen property (Roll No. 2-017) and Road 124 do not have a sufficient outlet for the area within the watershed and is experiencing excessively gradual drainage.
2. The area requiring drainage is currently serviced by a private drainage system.
3. The natural outlet for this property is across Road 124 and the 2395240 Ontario Inc. property (Roll No. 2-020) and ultimately into the North Black Creek Drain.
Recommendations
It is our recommendation that:
1. A new tile drainage system be constructed from its outlet into the North Black Creek Drain in Lot 13, Concession 1 approximately 441 metres upstream to the west road limit of Road 124 adjacent Lot 12, Concession 1 (Roll No. 2-017).
2. A new tile drainage system includes the installation of 441 metres of 250mm and 300mm diameter pipes.
3. The drainage coefficient design standard used for this drain is 38mm of rainfall per 24 hours.
4. This new drainage system shall be known as the “Claassen Municipal Drain 2018”.
Summary of Proposed Works
The proposed work consists of the installation of approximately 441 metres of 250mm and 300mm diameter field tile and HDPE pipes and the installation of two (2) concrete catch basins.
Working Area and Access
Each landowner on whose property the drainage work is to be constructed shall designate access to and from the working area.
PE-53
Page | 3 The working area for construction purposes shall be an average width of twenty (20) metres along the alignment of the proposed tile drain.
The working area for maintenance purposes shall be an average width of ten (10) metres along the alignment of the proposed tile drain.
Watershed and Soil Characteristics
The watershed was established by field investigations, surveys, and data analysis of the Southwestern Ontario Orthophotographic Project (SWOOP).
The Drainage Area comprises approximately 17.5 hectares. Land use within the watershed is primarily agricultural.
The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Agricultural Information Atlas describes the soil types within the watershed and along the route of the drain as Huron Silt Loam.
Allowances
In accordance with Sections 29 and 30 of the Drainage Act, R.S.O. 1990, we determine the allowances payable to Landowners entitled thereto as follows.

Harvey-Nauta Municipal Drain 2018 Township of Perth East
(Mornington Ward) To the Mayor and Council of the Township of Perth East Members of Council:
Introduction
We are pleased to present our report on the “Harvey-Nauta Municipal Drain 2018”, serving parts of Lots 6 and 7 in Concessions 13 and 14 in the Township of Perth East, Mornington Ward, County of Perth.
Authority to prepare this report was obtained by a resolution of the Township of Perth East Council at its October 7, 2014 meeting to appoint Dietrich Engineering Limited to prepare an Engineer’s Report.
In accordance with your instructions pursuant to a request received by Council under Section 78 of the Drainage Act, R.S.O. 1990, we have made an examination and survey of the affected area and submit herewith our Report which includes Plan, Profiles and Specifications for this work.
The attached Plan and Profiles, Drawing Numbers 1 and 2, Reference No. 1456, Specifications and the Instructions to Tenderers form part of this report. They show and describe in detail the location and extent of the work to be done and the lands which are affected.
History
The existing Harvey-Nauta Municipal Drain was originally constructed under the authority of a report prepared by W.E. Kelley and Associates Limited, dated April 2, 1980. This report provided for the construction of the Main Drain and Branch ‘A’ in their entirety.
The outlet for this drain is the Maryborough No. 4 Drain.
On-Site Meeting
In accordance with Section 9(1) of the Drainage Act, R.S.O. 1990, an on-site meeting was held on December 11, 2014. The place of meeting was on Perth Road 131, adjacent to the Jeff Binnendyk property (Roll No. 4-102). Persons in attendance were:
William Dietrich, P. Eng. Dietrich Engineering Limited Jeff, Jason and Leizia Binnendyk Landowners Randy Weber Landowner

Information Meeting
An information meeting was held on February 9, 2018 at the Township of Perth East Municipal Office. Persons in attendance were:
William Dietrich, P. Eng. Dietrich Engineering Limited Stephen Brickman, P. Eng. Dietrich Engineering Limited Randy Weber Landowner Jeff, Wilma and Leizia Binnendyk Landowners
The information provided proposed upgrading the Main Drain of the Harvey-Nauta Municipal Drain from the its outlet into the Maryborough No. 4 Drain in Lot 6, Concession 13, to the west road limit of Perth Road 131 adjacent to Lot 6, Concession 13, Township of Perth East, (Mornington Ward). The information provided also proposed upgrading Branch ‘A’ from its outlet into the Main Drain in Lot 6, Concession 13 to the property line between the E. & I. Kastenberger property (Roll No. 4-126) and the J. & W. Binnendyk property (Roll No. 4-102).
This meeting provided a review of the design of the proposed drainage system, the estimated costs of the project and proposed assessments.
Findings
We have made an examination of the drainage area and have found the following:
1. The existing Harvey-Nauta Municipal Drain is neither of sufficient capacity nor depth to drain the surrounding and upstream lands within the watershed at today’s standards of drainage.
2. The Maryborough No. 4 Drain, which serves as the outlet for the Harvey-Nauta Municipal Drain was recently cleaned out by the Township of Perth East.
Recommendations
It is our recommendation that:
1. A new main tile drainage system be constructed from its outlet into the Maryborough No. 4 Drain in Lot 6, Concession 13, and extend upstream to the west road limit of Perth Road 131 adjacent to Lot 6, Concession 13.
2. A new branch tile drainage system be constructed from its outlet into the Main Drain in Lot 6, Concession 13, and extend upstream property line between the E. & I. Kastenberger property (Roll No. 4-126) and the J. & W. Binnendyk property (Roll No. 4-102).
3. The wetland near the upper end of Branch ‘A’ shall not be drained by the construction of the Harvey-Nauta Drain. The design of the drain accounts for surface drainage only from the wetland.
4. The new tile drainage system includes the installation of 1,150 metres of 300mm to 600mm diameter tile.
5. The existing tile drain constructed under the authority of the report prepared by W.E. Kelley and Associates Limited, dated April 2, 1980, shall be abandoned.
6. The drainage coefficient design standard used for this drain is 38mm of rainfall per 24 hours.
7. This new drainage system shall be known as the “Harvey-Nauta Municipal Drain 2018”.
PE-89
Page | 3 Summary of Proposed Works
The proposed work consists of the installation of approximately 1,150 metres of 300mm to 600mm diameter field tile and HDPE pipes and the installation of three (3) concrete catch basins and two (2) concrete junction boxes.
Working Area and Access
Each landowner on whose property the drainage work is to be constructed shall designate access to and from the working area.
The working area for construction purposes shall be an average width of twenty (20) metres along the alignment of the proposed tile drain.
The working area for maintenance purposes shall be an average width of ten (10) metres along the alignment of the proposed tile drain.
Watershed and Soil Characteristics
The watershed was established through analysis of tile drainage maps and previous engineer’s reports.
The Drainage Area comprises approximately 87.4 hectares. Land use within the watershed is primarily agricultural.
The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Agricultural Information Atlas describes the soil types within the watershed and along the route of the drain as Perth Clay Loam.

REPORT
TO: Council PREPARED BY: Scott Puillandre – Planner DATE: March 20th, 2018 FILE CODE: D12 SUBJECT: Region of Waterloo – Proposed Amendment to the Region of
Waterloo Official Plan LOCATION; ROW – New Hamburg and Baden Township Urban Areas ATTACHMENTS: Request for Comments Dated February 27th, 2018; Notice of
Public Meeting; Regional Official Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: THAT the Council of the Township of Perth East receive the report prepared by the Planner dated March 20th entitled Region of Waterloo – Proposed Amendment to the Region of Waterloo Official Plan, for information. AND THAT Council direct staff to respond to the Region of Waterloo with no concerns or comments. COMMENTS: The subject notice was received by the Township and forward to the Planner for review in accordance with Policy No. PL – 1.07. The proposed amendment to the ROW Official Plan, which has been initiated by the ROW is intended to rationalize the boundaries of the Baden and New Hamburg Township Urban Areas, and the Countryside Line applicable to these areas. The intent is to redirect growth to locations that can be developed more efficiently and cost effectively on full municipal services. The change is intended to implement Wilmot Township Council’s preferred growth management strategy to physically connect Baden and new Hamburg over time. The ROW is seeking a response from the Township of Perth East through a circulation response form which is an attachment to this report. This proposed amendment is not expected to have any negative impacts on the Township of Perth East. As such the Planner has no concerns with the proposed changes.

Report to Council
Item No.: 8.1.3
To: Township of Perth East Council Date: Tuesday, March 20, 2018 Prepared By: Mark Swallow, County Planner Subject: Application for an Amendment to the County Official
Plan by BBG Acres Ltd. Location: Lot 16, Concession 2 and Part of Lot 16, Concession 1,
(Ellice Ward) Township of Perth East Attachments: Report Photo and Application
Recommended Action: THAT Council receives the report titled “Application for an Amendment to
the County Official Plan by BBG Acres Ltd.”; and
THAT Council recommend to County Council that the Application for an
Amendment to the County Official Plan by BBG Acres Ltd. be approved.
Executive Summary: The Planning Department has considered the merits of the subject application against
the Provincial Policy Statement and applicable County Official Plan policies and
recommends that Perth East Council recommend to County Council that the application
be approved.
Background Information: The Official Plan Amendment application has been submitted for the purpose of
allowing the severance of a surplus farm dwelling (SFD) which is not a minimum of ten
(10) years old at the date of application for consent and not currently habitable.
The subject property is irregular in shape with a lot frontage along Line 36 of 406 metres
(1,332 feet), a flankage along Road 130, and has an area of approximately 71.2 ha (176
acres). A farm dwelling was located with associated out buildings on Road 130, just
south of the Ehgoetz Drain. This dwelling was lost to a fire in 2017. The balance of the
property is agricultural land.
Provincial Policy Statement (PPS): Decisions on Official Plan Amendment applications are required to be consistent with the
PPS. Section 2.3.4.1of the PPS states that lot creation in prime agricultural areas is
PE-153
discouraged and may only be permitted for (amongst other things) a residence surplus to
a farming operation as a result of farm consolidation, provided that:
1. the new lot will be limited to a minimum size needed to accommodate the use and
appropriate sewage and water services; and
2. the planning authority ensures that new residential dwellings are prohibited on any
remnant parcel of farmland created by the severance. The approach used to ensure that
no new residential dwellings are permitted on the remnant parcel may be recommended
by the Province, or based on municipal approaches which achieve the same objective.
The PPS defines surplus farm dwellings as an existing habitable farm residence that is
rendered surplus as a result of farm consolidation (the acquisition of additional farm
parcels to be operated as one farm operation).
Official Plan (County of Perth): The subject property is designated “Agriculture” on Schedule ‘A’ of the County Official
Plan. Section 5.6.3.1 of the County OP is of particular relevance. This policy states the
criteria and requirements necessary to sever dwellings made surplus as a result of a farm
consolidation.
Amongst all of the criteria, Section 5.6.3.1 d) states:
“(d) The surplus farm dwelling must be a minimum of ten (10) years old at the date
of the application for consent, and must be habitable, as determined by the local
Chief Building Official;”.
Comments: The OPA process affords the applicant the opportunity to seek relief from County
Council’s generic OP policies to consider a special circumstance that the OP policies do
not otherwise address. In its decision, County Council needs to consider the PPS, the
intent of the OP, past precedencies or precedence to be set, and the sensibleness of
the request.
An Amendment to the County Official Plan is necessary as the desired severance does
not meet the County’s policy on SFD severances for two reasons:
i. The applicant is currently rebuilding the dwelling and it will therefore not be at
least 10 years old at the date of the application for consent, and,
ii. The dwelling is not currently (of the date of this report) habitable,
as such does not conform with Section 5.6.3.1 d).
The policy that the dwelling is at least 10 years old at the date of the application for
consent was established by County Council to act, in part, as a governor to the SFD
policy to ensure that dwellings were not constructed on vacant farm parcels and then
PE-154
immediately severed from the farm through the SFD policies. This policy goes beyond
the minimum standard of the PPS; but remains consistent with the PPS.
During the pre-consultation process with County Planning Staff it was determined that
the existing dwelling would be eligible, under the policies of Section 5.6.3.1 of the
County Official Plan, to be severed as a surplus farm dwelling. Unfortunately after the
pre-consultation meeting, and prior to the filing of the consent application, the dwelling
was totally lost to a fire.
The fact that the fire loss occurred during the planning process is given considerable
weight by the Planning Office when the merits of the subject application are considered.
The applicant is required to replace the dwelling (for insurance reasons) and the
replacement dwelling will still be surplus to the applicant’s needs. The waiving of the 10
year age requirement, if applied only under the circumstances of this application, will set
a very narrow precedence that staff can support.
With respect to the habitability of the dwelling, the current OP policies were established
to ensure that dilapidated structures could not be severed as a SDF. In this situation,
Planning Office advises that the dwelling will be habitable upon its completion, which is
expected by the summer of 2018, but not at the date of the consent application. To
maintain the intent of the OP, the proposed OPA policy will direct the Land Division
Committee to impose a condition of consent approval that the dwelling is habitable
before the deed is stamped and the property transferred.
If the OPA is approved, all other policies normally considered with a SFD severance,
including the requirement for a Zoning By-law Amendment, will continue to apply.

Report to Council Item No. 8.1.4
To: Warden McKenzie and Members of Council Date: Tuesday, March 20, 2018 Prepared By: Mark Swallow, County Planner Subject:
Location:
Application for Official Plan Amendment by BBG Acres Ltd. (OPA 168) (Report PL-03-2018) Lot 16, Concession 2 and Part of Lot 16, Concession 1, Ellice Ward, Township of Perth East
Recommended Action: THAT Perth County Council receives the “Application for County Official
Plan Amendment by BBG Acres Ltd. (OPA 168) (Report PL-03-2018)” for
information; and
THAT Council approve the Application for an Official Plan Amendment by
BBG Acres Ltd. for property described as Lot 16, Concession 2 and Part of
Lot 16, Concession 1, Ellice Ward, Township of Perth East; and
THAT a By-law be passed, being a By-law to adopt Amendment No. 168 to
the County of Perth Official Plan
Background Information: The Official Plan Amendment application has been submitted for the purpose of
allowing the severance of a surplus farm dwelling (SFD) which is not a minimum of ten
(10) years old at the date of application for consent and not currently habitable.
The subject property is irregular in shape with a lot frontage along Line 36 of 406 metres
(1,332 feet), a flankage along Road 130, and has an area of approximately 71.2 ha (176
acres). A farm dwelling was located with associated out buildings on Road 130, just
south of the Ehgoetz Drain. This dwelling was lost to a fire in 2017. The balance of the
property is agricultural land.
Provincial Policy Statement (PPS): Decisions on Official Plan Amendment applications are required to be consistent with
the PPS. Section 2.3.4.1of the PPS states that lot creation in prime agricultural areas is
discouraged and may only be permitted for (amongst other things) a residence surplus
to a farming operation as a result of farm consolidation, provided that:
1. the new lot will be limited to a minimum size needed to accommodate the use and
appropriate sewage and water services; and
PE-165
This document is available in alternate formats, upon request.
2. the planning authority ensures that new residential dwellings are prohibited on any
remnant parcel of farmland created by the severance. The approach used to ensure
that no new residential dwellings are permitted on the remnant parcel may be
recommended by the Province, or based on municipal approaches which achieve
the same objective.
The PPS defines surplus farm dwellings as an existing habitable farm residence that is
rendered surplus as a result of farm consolidation (the acquisition of additional farm
parcels to be operated as one farm operation).
Official Plan (County of Perth): The subject property is designated “Agriculture” on Schedule ‘A’ of the County Official
Plan. Section 5.6.3.1 of the County OP is of particular relevance. This policy states the
criteria and requirements necessary to sever dwellings made surplus as a result of a
farm consolidation.
Amongst all of the criteria, Section 5.6.3.1 d) states:
“(d) The surplus farm dwelling must be a minimum of ten (10) years old at the date
of the application for consent, and must be habitable, as determined by the local
Chief Building Official;”.
Comments: The OPA process affords the applicant the opportunity to seek relief from County
Council’s generic OP policies to consider a special circumstance that the OP policies do
not otherwise address. In its decision, County Council needs to consider the PPS, the
intent of the OP, past precedencies or precedence to be set, and the sensibleness of
the request.
An Amendment to the County Official Plan is necessary as the desired severance does
not meet the County’s policy on SFD severances for two reasons:
i. The applicant is currently rebuilding the dwelling and it will therefore not be at
least 10 years old at the date of the application for consent, and,
ii. The dwelling is not currently (of the date of this report) habitable,
as such does not conform with Section 5.6.3.1 d).
The policy that the dwelling is at least 10 years old at the date of the application for
consent was established by County Council to act, in part, as a governor to the SFD
policy to ensure that dwellings were not constructed on vacant farm parcels and then
immediately severed from the farm through the SFD policies. This policy goes beyond
the minimum standard of the PPS; but remains consistent with the PPS.
During the pre-consultation process with County Planning Staff it was determined that
the existing dwelling would be eligible, under the policies of Section 5.6.3.1 of the
County Official Plan, to be severed as a surplus farm dwelling. Unfortunately after the
PE-166
This document is available in alternate formats, upon request.
pre-consultation meeting, and prior to the filing of the consent application, the dwelling
was totally lost to a fire.
The fact that the fire loss occurred during the planning process is given considerable
weight by the Planning Office when the merits of the subject application are considered.
The applicant is required to replace the dwelling (for insurance reasons) and the
replacement dwelling will still be surplus to the applicant’s needs. The waiving of the 10
year age requirement, if applied only under the circumstances of this application, will set
a very narrow precedence that staff can support.
With respect to the habitability of the dwelling, the current OP policies were established
to ensure that dilapidated structures could not be severed as a SDF. In this situation,
Planning Office advises that the dwelling will be habitable upon its completion, which is
expected by the summer of 2018, but not at the date of the consent application. To
maintain the intent of the OP, the proposed OPA policy will direct the Land Division
Committee to impose a condition of consent approval that the dwelling is habitable
before the deed is stamped and the property transferred.
If the OPA is approved, all other policies normally considered with a SFD severance,
including the requirement for a Zoning By-law Amendment, will continue to apply.
Public Meeting Notice:
The Public Meeting for the subject application and proposed OPA is scheduled for
March 20, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. Notice of Public Meeting was given by 1st class pre-paid
mail, and on-site posting in accordance with the Planning Act, as well as the County’s
website on February 27, 2018.

TO: Council PREPARED BY: Theresa Campbell, Municipal Clerk Rhonda Fischer, Treasurer DATE: March 20, 2018 File Code: C00 SUBJECT: Changes to the Income Tax Act - Council One-Third Remuneration
Tax Free ATTACHMENTS: None
RECOMMENDATION: THAT the Council of the Township of Perth East receive the Council one-third tax-free remuneration report, prepared by the Municipal Clerk and Treasurer, dated March 20, 2018 for information. BACKGROUND: Members of Council currently receive one-third of their remuneration tax-free. This option was introduced in 1947 under the federal Income Tax Act. The purpose of the one-third tax-free expense allowance was to provide an allowance for expenses incidental to the discharge of the person’s duties as an elected official. Effective January 1, 2019, as a result of changes included as part of the 2017/18 Federal Budget, the existing one-third tax free provision for Councillors will be eliminated. The measure affects elected members of provincial and territorial legislatures, as well as municipalities. Elected officials of municipal utilities boards, commissions and corporations will also be subject to the rule, as will members of school boards. BUDGETARY IMPACT Approval of the recommendation as outlined in this report will have no impact on the current approved Annual Corporate Budget.

RECOMMENDATION: That the report entitled 2018 Final Budget prepared by the Treasurer be received for information and;
1. That by-law 13-2018, being a by-law to adopt the final estimates of all sums required by the Township for the year 2018, be given three readings.
2. That by-law 13-2018, being a by-law to adopt the annual tax rates for the year 2018, be given three readings.
BACKGROUND: The difference between the tax levy and the tax rate is as follows;
The tax levy is the amount of money collected through taxes. The Township can control the levy by controlling the spending through the approved Corporate Budget. The Township cannot control outside influences on the budget such as Provincial grants.
The tax rate is how the levy is distributed among the assessed properties in the Township. The tax rate varies from property class to property class based on property class ratios. For example, farmland is based on 25% of the residential tax rate with commercial property set at 125%. The residential tax rate is always 100%. Ratios will be finalized at the County once they have completed a tax

policy analysis. More growth or higher assessments in a reassessment year equals greater assessed values which equals a lower tax rate.
The Budget Advisory Committee approved a total general and policing levy increase for the Township of Perth East of $728,523 (10.275%), or a notional levy increase of $619,557 (8.738%) after consideration of assessment growth of $108,966. Based on the draft County and Township budgets, the combined Township, County and Education levy has increased a total of 6.75%. Prior to final tax ratio approval by the County and after the inclusion of the new property assessments and the Township levy requirements, the Perth East tax rate will decrease by 0.45%. After inclusion of the County and education rates, the total residential tax rate decrease is 2.51%.

And
That Council approve Option #____ Option #1 - That Council award the tender to ResQTech of Woodstock as presented and that the contract is funded in 2018. Option #2 - That Council award the tender to ResQTech of Woodstock and amend budget to phase this project in over two fiscal periods utilizing the 2019 Large Equipment Capital Reserve transfers.

Integrity Teamwork Service Continuous Improvement Fiscal Responsibility Page 2 of 4
Background:
A total of nine tender packages were downloaded by prospective bidders.
The Township of Perth East received two tenders for three (3) fire tankers (two for Perth East and one for West Perth) until its closing time of 2:00 pm Friday, March 2, 2018. The electronic Bids and Tenders was used including an electronic two-envelope tender opening/evaluation process.
The submissions were opened on Monday March 5, 2018. The two submitted proposals were carefully reviewed to determine whether they met the required specifications. One tender proposal was determined as not meeting the specification and the second envelope of that tender was not opened.
The remaining tender was publicly opened at 11 am in the Perth East Council Chambers. Staff in attendance during the time of opening were Fire Chief Bill Hunter, Station Chiefs Newbigging, Depatie and Tubb. Administrative Assistant Bettridge and Treasurer Fischer also assisted.
ResQTech, Woodstock:
$1,412,895.50 Total cost to the Township:
$1,279,800.00
Dependable, Brampton:
Did not meet specifications
The tender that was opened met all specifications however it was $639,900.00 per truck. Our budgeted amount was $525,000.00 per truck. (Both of these amounts are after the chassis prepay discount and the multi vehicle discount were subtracted).
Comments:
The reorganization of the fire department apparatus began in 2013 with the planning for the new Milverton Station Aerial. A report was presented to the Perth East Fire Department Joint Advisory Committee in September of 2012. It included relocating the existing Milverton Engine to Shakespeare, selling the existing Shakespeare Engine and purchasing two utility trucks for both stations. The plan also included future requirements for replacing the Milverton and Sebringville Tankers. The two utility (rescue) trucks were purchased and placed in service in 2014. The Milverton Aerial was delivered in February of 2016 and the Milverton Engine was relocated to Shakespeare that spring. The former Milverton Aerial and the former Shakespeare Engine were disposed of on Govdeals.com. The final piece of the plan was the replacement of the Sebringville and Milverton Tankers. This tender specification dealt with both of those trucks. Actual costing for these tankers began in the fall of 2015 in preparation for the 2016 budget process. Since then the components (engine, transmission, drivetrain, emergency lights, etc.) for the trucks have increased in price by $48,175.00 / truck. The US dollar exchange has resulted in $42,000.00 / truck increase. These tankers were designed to transport water, firefighters and equipment safely anywhere in the Township. Based on our staffing and water requirements for structure fires we automatically dispatch two stations.
PE-275
Integrity Teamwork Service Continuous Improvement Fiscal Responsibility Page 3 of 4
Example of a structure fire response in Shakespeare:
Table #2
Second station response from Sebringville: 2 Tankers + 1 Engine
This level of response provides us with the necessary additional water to mount an initial attack; the tankers can begin a water shuttle process; Sebringville Engine provides additional staff and another rated pump.
The downside to this response is that we rely on Milverton to cover, or a request for mutual aid, in the event of an incident in the Sebringville area.
The new tanker specification resolves this as it carries the water, pump, staff and equipment allowing the Engine to remain in Sebringville to protect that area.
With the tendered amount being over budget staff reviewed the trucks, and our planned capital purchases, to see what could be done. Staff has prepared three options for council’s consideration. Option #1 This option would have staff proceed with the tender as presented and increase our unfunded position to $795,871.00 in 2018. Our unfunded balance would return to a positive in 2021 and continue to grow until 2018. Option #2 Amend budget to utilize future Large Equipment Capital Reserve transfers to cover the additional cost. Staff has reviewed our Large Equipment requirements for the next ten years. Due to the apparatus reorganization, the 2019 replacement of the Shakespeare Engine (estimated at $675,000.00) was delayed to 2028. The next Large Equipment purchases will be a pick-up truck in 2024 and a tanker in 2025. If we were to split this purchase over two fiscal years (2018 and 2019) our unfunded balance would return to a positive in 2021 and continue to grow until 2028. Using this funding formula would not affect the established levy. Treasurer Fischer has worked closely with staff on this option. Option #3 Staff put many hours into the specifications for these trucks so that they would meet the needs of the Township for the next 25 years while also meeting the intent of the apparatus reorganization. Major reductions in crew capacity, pumping abilities or total water carried could be made to reduce the cost of the apparatus. To make a reduction of this amount the entire truck would have to be specified
PE-276
Integrity Teamwork Service Continuous Improvement Fiscal Responsibility Page 4 of 4
again which will result in a vehicle that meets our existing budget but does not meet our existing needs nor our needs for the future. A reduction in crew size & equipment storage could result in the need for an additional pick-up truck to be purchased for each station. Based on the life of the tanker we could actually require 3 pick-up trucks per tanker. Additional revenue from asset disposal Staff also realized that they had neglected to include the revenue from the sale of the two existing tankers. The Township sold the former Shakespeare Engine for $18,000.00 using Govdeals.com. It was a similar age as these two trucks. Based on that, we could project between $30,000.00 and $40,000.00 in potential revenue from the sale. Regardless of the option that Council chooses these revenues would offset some of the cost. Recommendation Staff is recommending that Option #2 be selected. The specified trucks will serve the community, protect our firefighters and maintain the service delivery that our residents expect for the next 25 years. Based on the life expectancy of the trucks the additional cost equates to $4525.00 per year. Although these trucks are more expensive than originally projected they have extensive warranty coverages, solid workmanship and are backed by a company with over 150 years of manufacturing experience. By spreading the cost over 2018 and 2019, this option would cushion our unfunded position while allowing us to take advantage of our 2019 capital reserve transfer. Designing trucks that will not meet our current needs will only increase the cost to the Township in the future as additional vehicles would need to be added to the fleet Budgetary Impact Approval of the recommendation as outlined in this report will reduce the 2018 Fire Unfunded position by spreading the project over a two year period.

Re: Request for Signs
To Municipality of Perth East,
We are beginning to plan work projects to continue the development of the G2G Rail Trail
through Perth County in 2018 and would like to make the following request for your support.
Signage is critical to the accessibility of the trail, providing trail users with information of their
whereabouts and advance notice of any hazards that may exist along the trail.
We request for these signs to be provided at no cost to help to improve accessibility on the G2G
Rail Trail through Perth East:
1. Perth East points of interest signs on main streets of Milverton & Millbank to indicate
access points for the trail
○ Add G2G Rail Trail to any existing or new wayfinding signs on Main St in
Milverton and roads 121 or 72 in Millbank
2. Perth East road intersections, 2 of each road signs that would be placed on each side of
the crossing so trail users would know which road they are approaching, as well as
provide the nearest contact point in emergency situations for first responders to locate
○ Roads 140, 136, 129, 124, 121, 116
○ Line 61, 72
○ Main St N, Mill St W
3. Safety signs, to be placed at locations of hazards such as bridges, ditches, uncontrolled
lane crossings
○ Yellow/Black Striped Delineator signs, 12 each left and right slant
○ Stop signs, 6 each smallest size
4. No Littering bylaw enforcement signs, to be placed at road access points closest to
Milverton to help deter dumping and littering
○ 4 No Littering signs
Thank you for your support and consideration.
Regards,
Joel Phelan - Chair of Perth Harvest Pathway - G2G Rail Trail
