28 THE CORPORATION OF THE COUNTY OF DUFFERIN REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL To: From: Warden Ryan and Members of County Council Alan Selby, Treasurer Date: January 10, 2013 Subject: Ta Ratios for 2013 Purpose Council may consider any changes to Ta Ratios for the year Background & Discussion Ta Ratios are used to allocate property taation across property Classes. The County has maintained the same Ratios for many years. The Ratio for Residential property is fied at 1.0 and all other Ratios are set in relation to the Residential Ratio. Financial Impact Ratio changes do not generate revenue, they only re-allocate eisting taation revenue among eisting property Classes. If any Ratio is reduced, there would a shift in the burden of taation away from that Class of property and towards, mostly, residential properties. If a Ratio is increased, properties in that Class would see their taation burden reduced somewhat. Recommendation: THAT the Treasurer s Report dated January 10, 2013, with respect to Ta Ratios for 2013, be received: AND THAT, the Ta Ratios for the County of Dufferin be maintained for the year 2013 at their 2012 levels, AND THAT the annual Ta Ratio Bylaw be approved for Respectfully submitted, Alan Selby Treasurer

29 THE CORPORATION OF THE COUNTY OF DUFFERIN REPORT PW TO COUNTY COUNCIL To: From: Warden Ryan and Members of County Council Trevor D. Lewis, P.Eng. Director of Public Works Date: January 10, 2013 Subject: Transfer of Road Responsibilities Riddell Road and CR#23 Purpose The purpose of this report is to provide some background on the situation and recommend that the responsibilities for certain roads be transferred. Background & Discussion The three Directors of Public Works for Dufferin, Orangeville and East Garafraa recently met to discuss the transfer of various pieces of roads. As two of the Directors are retiring soon, we wanted to get this matter off our lists. We agreed to report to our respective Councils on what needed to be done to facilitate the transfers. The South Arterial Road (SAR) was officially opened on August 3, 2005, the culmination of thirty years of planning an alternative route around Orangeville. The portion of the bypass in Orangeville was built by developers with funding from Orangeville and Dufferin County. Riddell Road was the first portion of the bypass to be completed. As part of the planning process, it was decided that County Road #23 would no longer be functioning as it was originally intended with the SAR in place. Since the opening of the SAR, Dufferin has been pressuring Peel Region to make a decision on the transfer of the upper tier boundary road. Peel has been studying their whole road system for the last seven years and have recently decided that their portion of #23 (Townline) should be maintained by Peel. The Region is willing to enter into a maintenance agreement with Orangeville for the north portion of the road.

30 Report PW Page 2 of 2 Transfer of Road Responsibilities There is a small section of Peel Road #136 that should be transferred at the same time as the other Townline portions. The table below identifies the sections of roads being transferred: Road Section From To Lane Kilometres Riddell Road Orangeville Dufferin 6.3 North Side CR#23 (Townline) Dufferin Orangeville 2.1 East Side CR#23 (B Line) Dufferin Orangeville 3.1 West Side CR#23 (B Line) Dufferin East Garafraa 3.1 North Side #136 (Townline) Dufferin Orangeville 0.3 The attached plan shows the sections of road and the colour coding is as shown in the table above. Local Municipal Impact There is a direct impact on the Town of Orangeville and the Township of East Garafraa. Orangeville will be receiving 5.5 lane kilometres of road and giving 6.3 lane kilometres. East Garafraa will be receiving 3.1 lane kilometres. Financial Impact The maintenance costs for the transferred portions should net out to a slight increase for the County s operating budget due to the small change in the number of lane kilometres and increased level of service. Recommendation THAT Report PW , Transfer of Road Responsibilities Riddell Road and CR#23, from the Director of Public Works dated January 10, 2013 be received; AND THAT staff be authorized to take the necessary steps to transfer the ownership of Riddell Road to the County and the appropriate portions of County Road #23 to Orangeville and East Garafraa and a portion of Peel #136 to Orangeville. Respectfully submitted by Original signed by, Trevor D. Lewis, P. Eng. Director of Public Works and County Engineer

32 THE CORPORATION OF THE COUNTY OF DUFFERIN REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL To: From: Warden Ryan and Members of County Council Sonya Pritchard, Chief Administrative Officer Meeting Date: January 10, 2013 Subject: Update regarding easement request for 230 kv transmission line Purpose The purpose of this report is to provide Council with an update regarding the request from Dufferin Wind Power Inc. for an easement along the former rail corridor to install a 230 kv transmission line. Background & Discussion In September 2012, Council entered into an MOU with Dufferin Wind Power Inc (DWPI) for recovery of costs related to drafting an agreement to grant an easement and review of the proposal. To ensure the impact of the proposal is adequately assessed it was necessary to retain qualified consultants to conduct a review. The MMM Group was selected after a lengthy process. Identifying a consultant that did not have a conflict with respect to the wind project was difficult and took considerable time. In addition, MMM has been etremely busy and there have been repeated delays in receiving information. A report from MMM is epected during the second or third week of January. This report will be used to identify concerns and local impacts that will affect the agreement to grant an easement. Dufferin Wind Power submitted a Renewable Energy Approval (REA) application to the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) in August Various subsequent reports and clarifications have been issued since then. On December 17, 2012, DWPI notified the MOE that it was withdrawing the 2 by 69Kv transmission lines from its proposal and seeking approval for the 230 kv line (along the rail corridor) only. The MOE deemed the application to be complete on December 27. An from the DWPI consultants received on December 28 indicated that final copies of the application reports were to be delivered to the County of Dufferin on January 2, The deadline for comments to the MOE is February 10, Staff will continue working with the MMM consultants over the net month to identify concerns as they pertain to the rail corridor and potential future uses as well as to identify comments raised from residents that may need further clarification.

33 Update regarding easement request for 230 kv transmission line Page 2 of 3 Comments from residents have been received over the past several months from and letter correspondence and through a public information centre meeting held on November 6, 2012 in the Dufferin Oaks Auditorium. Contact information has been collected for over 300 people who are provided with new information as it comes available. A second public information centre to present the consultants findings is scheduled for January 31, 2013 at 7 pm. Notification of the meeting is being sent to the contacts, posted on the County website, and published in the local newspapers. A final report regarding outstanding issues and concerns will be distributed to Council prior to submitting comments to the MOE. The MOE submission deadline is prior to the February County Council date. It is recommended that the February meeting be moved to February 7, 2013 or that a special meeting be held to review the submission. In addition to the REA process, DWPI submitted a leave to construct application for the transmission line to the Ontario Energy Board (OEB). The County of Dufferin received notice of this application on October 23, A request for intervenor status was filed on October 26 to ensure participation in the process. Staff in consultation with MMM consultants and the County`s legal counsel submitted several questions regarding the application by the January 4, 2013 deadline. The questions focused on the form of the agreement proposed by DWPI, liability and risk issues. The OEB s jurisdiction is very limited by the OEB Act to matters of price, reliability and quality of service so some of the issues that are relevant to the County and the community will not be of any real concern to the Board. These matters are to be considered as part of the REA process. Staff is continuing to work with the County solicitor to finalize the draft agreement to grant an easement. Local Municipal Impact The proposed project and transmission line would run from Melancthon through a private easement, along the rail corridor in Shelburne, and Amaranth to an eisting transformer station in Orangeville. Financial, Staffing, Legal, or IT Considerations Financial and legal issues are being closely monitored as the process moves forward. Recommendation THAT, the report of Sonya Pritchard, Chief Administrative Officer dated January 10, 2013 regarding an Update regarding the easement request for 230 kv transmission line be received; AND THAT, staff continue to work with The MMM Group and legal counsel to identify the concerns, comments and impacts to be included in a submission to the MOE as part of the Renewable Energy Approval review process.

34 Update regarding easement request for 230 kv transmission line Page 3 of 3 AND THAT, the February 2013 Council meeting be re-scheduled from February 14 to February 7 to ensure Council has an opportunity to review the comments prior to the February 10, 2013 submission deadline. Respectfully submitted, Sonya Pritchard, CMA Chief Administrative Officer
