The MOECC were considering placing limits on the number of licenses issued to spread RAW septage on fields. Township of Georgian Bluffs and Chatsworth councils had discussions on the impacts to each Township and a joint board was created. The board would: Oversee the construction of a Bio Gas plant Applications for provincial funding including the FIT (Feed in Tariff) Program secured Explore mutual benefits for solid waste treatment and sewage treatment for both municipalities. Encourages all residents of Chatsworth and Georgian Bluffs to instruct sewage haulers to bring their septic tank waste to the BIOGRID for processing.

39 What we built? BIOGRID is a sewage plant with the ability to co-digest other organics. Only facility in Ontario when it was created in Serves 19,000 residents, 5,000 homes and businesses. Capacity to treat 13,140 m3 of sewage and organic waste annually. Enough generating capacity to supply 100 KW of power to Hydro One constantly.

40 Who owns it? Co-owned by Township of Georgian Bluffs & Township of Chatsworth Financial investments came from owners and through provincial and federal grant funding (BCF) Electrical revenues generated through FIT program offset a major portion of the operating costs Builders - Maple Reinders Designers - Ch4 Biogas Engineers Henderson/Paddon Generator Maintenance contracts Roland Mechanical Entire site operated under contract with Veolia Water Canada Operated and maintained by one employee working Part time

41 Where does the name come from? Number of identities: BIO GRID Sewage Treatment Plant, Facultative and Aerated Sewage Lagoons Septage Spray Fields, Electrical Generating Station Sewage Dewatering Facility, Bio Solids Digester Fat, Oils and Grease processor, Bio-Digester Integrates all the components of the facility from the digestion processes to the FIT program Feeds electricity back into the electrical distribution from the production of Methane Gas

42 Start-up and Operations March 11, 2011 commissioned and came on-line Learning curve of: When to feed? How much to feed? What type of stock feed? Different foods were tried Dog food waste, by-product from manufacturing ice-cream very rich foods but created odour Adjusted the feeding, odour stopped Other Organic materials Vegetables, cheese by-product, straw, corn stover, fat, oils, greases, blood waste from abattoir, sugar water from industry, municipal sewage make up the main stay of our diet

43 The Future Goals Embrace changes in the food supply by securing long term contracts with negotiated tipping fees Improve the process Streamline and reduce operational costs Source out local feed stock suppliers Develop in house resources in our own and adjacent municipalities Stop the dumping of organics in municipal landfills Benefit would reduce the production of greenhouse gas Extend the life of landfills

44 Summary Collaboration between two municipalities Provide shared services and reduce the number of duplicate facilities Provide service costs effectively Takes work and perseverance Fees received for tipping and electricity offset some of the operational costs We look forward to protecting our natural environment from untreated sewage.

45 Township Septage Program Georgian Bluffs Georgian Bluffs has approximately 5100 properties serviced by on-site sewage systems (Excluding holding tanks) Typically septic tanks are 3.6m 3 or 4.5m 3 depending on the size of the dwelling. An average of 4.0m 3 has been assumed. Total septage waste for Georgian Bluffs is 20,400m 3 If pumping out every three years total be disposed of yearly is 6800m 3 Tipping fee of $25.00/m3 Total revenue from septage = $170, Digestate disposal ($10.00/m3) = $68, Total net revenue from Septage Georgian Bluffs =$102,000.00

46 Township Septage Program - Chatsworth Georgian Bluffs has approximately 3100 properties serviced by on-site sewage systems (Excluding holding tanks) Typically septic tanks are 3.6m 3 or 4.5m 3 depending on the size of the dwelling. An average of 4.0m 3 has been assumed. Total septage waste for Georgian Bluffs is 12,400m 3 If pumping out every three years total be disposed of yearly is 4,133m 3 Tipping fee of $25.00/m3 Total revenue from septage = $103, Digestate disposal ($10.00/m3) = $41, Total net revenue from Septage for Chatsworth = $61,995.00

47 Township Septage Program Township(s) could add cost to pump and haul and dispose to tax bill under local utility charges. Send property owner a coupon every three years to have tank pumped. Property owner picks from list of approved haulers. On average the cost to pump is estimated to be $ plus HST Total cost to pump haul and dispose of effluent at the BIOGRID $ Cost would be divided over three years for a charge of $91.60 per year

Staff issued an RFP for the brand/logo design and on May 2 nd, 2018 Council approved the proposal from Avenue A in the amount of $15, exclusive of HST for both brand design and website development. Avenue A met with Township Staff, Council and members of the public on several occasions and draft designs were submitted for Council s review. Several revisions were made to the design and early November Council narrowed down the designs created by Avenue A to its top three design choices. Staff were directed to seek public input on the designs, choice of tag line and colour. The three design choices are attached. The two tag line choices were A Natural Attraction and Neighbours by Nature. Colour choices were narrowed to i) blue/orange as in Option 1; ii) blue green as in Option 2; and iii) blue/red as in option 3. A survey monkey questionnaire was created and posted on social media (facebook and website). Ratepayers had until December 10 th to complete the on-line survey. The results for

52 TOWNSHIP OF CHATSWORTH CAO CLERK S REPORT TO: FROM: RE: Mayor Mackey and Members of Council Patty Sinnamon, CAO Clerk Proposed Fee Increase for Bio-Digester Septage Disposal Sunset Strip DATE: December 19, 2018 RECOMMENDATION: That CAO Clerk s Report regarding a proposed fee increase for the biodigester be hereby received; AND FURTHER THAT staff proceed with public notice to consider the fee increase as set out in Report Background: Please see a report prepared by Rick Winters, Acting CAO for the Township of Georgian Bluffs as presented to Georgian Bluffs Committee of the Whole and subsequently approved by its Council to proceed with public process to increase the fees. The fee increase relates to fees charged to the Sunset Strip commercial businesses for the disposal of commercial sewage/waste water. Township of Chatsworth staff support the fees and approach as set out in the attached information. Should Council be in favour of the proposal, staff would then proceed with the giving of notice as required when increasing fees and charges of the municipality. Respectfully submitted, Patty Sinnamon, Dipl.M.M. CAO Clerk Attachment

53 Date Wednesday, December 12, 2018 From Subject Report Brian Anderson, Operations & IT Coordinator Sewage/Waste Water Services Fee Increase OPS Recommendation That the Committee of the Whole recommend to the Council of the Township of Georgian Bluffs that an increase in fees charged for the disposal of Sunset Strip commercial sewage/waste water. Further, that this total increase be equal to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Canada increase from January 1, 2011, when the Biodigester was constructed, until the difference between the accumulate CPI increase from January 1, 2011 to date is equal to the rates in the Fees & Services By-Law. The yearly increase shall not exceed 5% per year except for the penalty charges for dumping more than the allotted amount. And further once the outstanding CPI deficient is recovered, that Council authorizes a yearly increase equal to the previous year s CPI increase. Background The BioGRID accepts sewage/wastewater from commercial customers located on the Sunset Strip. The current disposal fee rate was set in August 2017 and the Board approved a 5% increase, this was adopted in the Fees and Services By-Law of Georgian Bluffs effective January 1, At the BioGRID Committee meeting held on November 16, 2018, Committee directed staff to calculate the increases required to bring the current rates in line with the CPI increases that have occurred since Report OPS Page 1 of 4

54 Analysis The rates set for the commercial customers on the Sunset Strip were amended in 2018 for a two-tiered structure. Tier one was that the first 2,000 gallons (9m 3 ) was set at $94.50 per load with subsequent gallons charged at cents per gallon ($7.34 / m 3 ). Tier two, for users over 13,500 (60.37m 3 ) gallons per month, was set at $94.50 per month with every gallon charged at ($7.34 / m 3 ) cents per gallon. Phasing in an increase, not exceeding 5% per year, will require approximately four years to bring the current rates in line with where they would have been if the CPI had been added every year. Each of the commercial customers has an existing agreement that stipulates a maximum gallonage that can be disposed. Any exceedance to the maximum allowance is currently charged at a rate of 6.44 cents per gallon ($ As this overage rate has not increased since 2011, it will require closer to a 6% increase per year to bring into line with the current CPI rate. Financial Impact A phased in rate increase to bring the rates charged in our by-law in line with the accumulated CPI increase since 2011 will average 5% per year for 3 years and then an increase ranging from 4% to 5% in year 4, depending on actual CPI increases over these 4 years. Beginning in 2023, rates would increase by CPI only. This rate would be dependent on the 2022 increase, with the increase automatically then added to the current year s fees and services by-law. The chart below shows the estimated increases over 2017 provided all flows remain similar: Report OPS Page 2 of 4

55 Year Estimated Revenue Increase Over Previous Year Increase Over 2017 Revenue 2018 $69, $2, $2, $72, $3, $6, $76, $3, $10, $80, $3, $13, $83, $3, $17, Implications Without continued annual review and increases in tipping fees charged at the BioGRID facility, the full potential for revenue will not be realized. Strategic Priorities 2.1 Water and Waste Water Systems Operate water and waste water systems to maintain a high standard of public health and safety, protect the environment and ensure long term financial sustainability. Consultation and Communications N/A Conclusion The disposal fees for the Sunset Strip commercial customers should be increased by a maximum of 5% per year until the difference between the accumulate CPI increase from January 1, 2011 to date is equal to the rates in the Fees & Services By-Law. Once the deficit is recovered then the rates charged in the Fees & Services By-Law shall be increased annually equal to the CPI for Canada for the previous year. Report OPS Page 3 of 4

64 TOWNSHIP OF CHATSWORTH CAO CLERK S REPORT TO: FROM: RE: Mayor Mackey and Members of Council Patty Sinnamon, CAO Clerk Purchase of Sidewalk Snow Clearing Equipment DATE: December 19, 2018 RECOMMENDATION: That CAO Clerk s Report regarding the purchase of sidewalk snow clearing equipment be hereby received; AND FURTHER THAT Council approve the quote from Maxwell Farm equipment in the amount of $28, exclusive of HST; AND FURTHER THAT funds be allocated through the 2019 budget process. Background: Over the past few years there have been maintenance issues with the MacLean snow clearing equipment. An estimate was obtained to replace the drive pump, drive pump filter and new hydraulic oil in excess of $6, Based on the performance of the machine in the past, and the fact that the size of the machine is too big for our sidewalks, staff looked at other options to get us through this winter season. We did obtain an estimate from the MacLeans dealer to rent equipment which came in at $7, per month. Staff were successful in negotiating a price to contract equipment from a private individual at a cost of $65.00 per hour, rather than a monthly rate. Our lead hands have obtained pricing to purchase a new piece of equipment which is more suited to the job at hand. Pricing is as follows: Maxwell Farm Equipment Kioti CS2510 with cap and 50 Front Mount Snowblower $24, Variable Speed $ Bauman 640P PTO Drive 40 Drop Sander $ 3, $28,482.00

65 Huron Tractor John Deere with Mauser Cab, 48 Front Mount Snowblower $27, Bauman Spreader $ 3, (Delivery on Spreader is 5 7 weeks) $30, Staff are requesting that Council authorize the purchase for an early January, 2019 deliver and that the funds be allocated through the 2019 capital budget.
