4 Meeting 2000/13-4- March 28, 2000 (i) REPORTS OF MUNICIPAL OFFICERS 1. Report of Consulting Engineer Holland Street Bottleneck Mr. Gord Feniak, Consulting Engineer was present to discuss his report and answer any questions of Members of Council. Councillor Lamb: Motions are originally drafted just to receive report, no action is directed; concern is he appreciates that the minutes of the Technical Committee meeting etc. recommend it not be pursued based on advice we were given to wait for Master Servicing Plan; appreciate position of committee at the time, however was in previous term to Council; same advice received today; now 3 'h years later we don't have the Master ServiCing Plan or know when the services will go in the ground; we do not know when the Master ServiCing Plan will be completed; Master Servicing Plan may not be completed for some time to come; hope Master Servicing Plan will be done in a timely fashion; hopes for proactive advice rather than reactive advice in future; Town could have got infrastructure money before; could have saved ourselves some of the pain; the Town talked about possible initiatives for completion of a project which was estimated between $150,000 and $210,000, with consideration of the federal/provincial partnerships; the Town's portion would have been 1/3 of the project costs; if Members recall, the Town proceeded to loop Line 8 waterline and take advantage of the funding incentives; efforts were not wasted as the Town received grant funding for Line 8 project; if we would have solved the problem then we would not be facing the problems we have today; reams of paper; hopes that Council and Engineering Firm will take proactive approach, not sure if any Development Charges funding is available, maybe $500,000 to $700,000 in Sanitary Sewer account; still unresolved after 3 'h years, for the residents who bought allocation; always difficult decision; fear that the Town will not have solution until next year; amount of land restrictive; hopes that Council allocates monies for projects; if residential portion, each house $ for sanitary sewers; hopes that Town can do something other than just receive this report. Councillor Villani: as report is somewhat technical, she is not clear on what option the Consulting Engineer is reporting is viable. it all depends on what the Town wants to accomplish, growth and how much the Town wants to spend; whether the Town wishes to wait for the Master Servicing Plan which is the preferred method, or use the band aid type solution; until the Town has resolved what problem the Town wants to fix, the Consulting Engineer can't really make recommendation; the Town could start by adding the Town's 1/3 portion; ready today for industries.

5 Meeting 2000/ March 28, 2000 Councillor Villani: so do we have Industries lined up waiting. Mayor Jonkman: a number of industries have been inquiring as to locating within Bradford West Gwillimbury; problem as he sees it, is that if a new industry which is a high water user wants to locate within Bradford West Gwillimbury, by the time we have solution in place, their building is finished elsewhere; all present capacity will be a problem; how to handle these requests. Councillor Villani: do we need the band aid solution or the Master Servicing Plan solution. Mayor Jonkman: get working on the solution now so if industries come we can respond fairly quickly; we need a back-up plan; in almost every option an Environmental Assessment is required; if the Town is looking for something in the interim of the Master Servicing Plan then the monitoring of the flows is recommended; determine the capacity of pumps and the capacity of existing flows; the Master Servicing Plan will address the Environment Assessment process; monitor the flows and obtain current data so that a proper assessment can be made as to whether there is capacity; the Town could start the collection of data; we don't have accurate information now; if plant approaches the Town next week we do not have accurate background on the flows. Councillor Toombs: concerned with problem; talking about new industries but what about the existing residents who want to hook-up; all Members of Council are aware that the Town has had residents in line waiting for allocation and hook-up for sometime; how does the Town accommodate the residents and future growth; needs a better understanding of both. Councillor Gorzo: if the Town were to attract industry with high water use, we could not accommodate it; 10 years ago same situation; when Optimization Study was completed, the opportunity for the Town to recover additional allocation as a result of repairs and reductions in flows; the Town had to monitor the flows for a year before the Ministry of Environment would grant any modification to numbers; same suggestion, to try to increase acreage; monitor flows so we can have one years data; if plant comes along, we can maximize the usage and lower the amount; increase the numbers in acreage for allocation in pumping station. Mayor Jonkman: informed that the Town has done that with Service Agreements with users. Councillor Gorzo: from the Consulting Engineer's report, it appears that the Developers are not using 100% capacity.

6 Meeting 2000/ March 28, 2000 what is being monitored; 2 years ago, 20% from industries and 80% extraneous flows; allowable amounts; inconsistencies in data on how often pumps come on; if you read the reports, there is inconsistent data; hard to get informed; don't know peaks very well and that is what is causing the grief; we need daily flows; the pumping station was designed for peaks; peaks not as high as Ministry of Environment standards; need to know how much is being pumped per day and when it comes. Councillor Lamb: plead ignorance, as he is not an engineer; like to plead to Consulting Engineer and staff for recommendations; establish proactive staff recommendations on how to resolve the problems; wants the solution as simple as Council do steps 1,2, 3, and 4; Master Servicing Plan is coming; it is the job of the Engineer and staff to go out in the field, not Council's; rants because he is frustrated; the Town does not have a plan to pickup from; need to study and tell us what we need or may not need so we can look at it; reverse request for proposal; wants the Engineer to tell the Town what they need; the Master Servicing Plan may/may not be completed in five years; Technical Committee minutes from August 26/97 - recommendation from previous term; initiated somewhere; let's try to find the affordable costs and solve the problems. Councillor Villani: prospective industry - higher user; quickest way is to have 6 months of data; not able to tell them for 6 months. Mr. Feniak in 1998, we made recommendation to monitor the flows; the Town should look at monitoring and flow metres; in 1998 report indicated that monitoring the flows would be helpful information; Councillor Villani: are you saying it will take 6 months of data to get an answer for an industry; it has taken 5 years to fill the pumping station to 1/3 capacity; not suggesting another 10 years; 1/3 not spoken for; Master Service Plan and Environmental Assessment Process will address; far quicker to go Master Service route than separate EA; can't give all answers; answer is yes, the Town could accommodate industry if came with request. #Of options depending on flows; 1/3 capacity used now; 1/3 capacity Town portion, not spoken for; 1/3 capacity Developers; rating from Ministry of the Environment;

7 Meeting 2000/ March 28, 2000 Mr. Feniak - cont'd. numbers in square metres; agreements later signed; 2 litres per 9 litres use. Mayor Jonkman: why did Mod-Aire have to take allocation from the 10 acres on the Heritage Mall site. prior to the Servicing Agreement, they have not used it by any means; severallitres allocated to Industries that have not come. Councillor Dykie: project undertaken by PUC - three years ago; for industrial/commercial development; readjusted their numbers; analysis to do. PUC numbers are different than what the Town uses; we looked at water records from the PUC; we compared the PUC water supply numbers for Reagens, Kumi, Arena when connected versus what was being pumped at the pumping station and there are huge differences in numbers. Councillor Dykie: does Ministry of the Environment have to look at the numbers before the Master Servicing Plan; would just hate to lose a potential industry; wants to accommodate companies coming to Town; very expensive to put pipes in the ground; will cost a lot of money for future councils to implement Master Servicing Plan. prioritize in stages in the Master Servicing Plan. Councillor Toombs: go back to discussions, this is what I heard a few weeks ago in layman terms; informal discussion, it was sounding like there is capacity there for industrial growth and for the Town to move forward; few weeks ago, plenty of capacity; Town should have no trouble with accommodating resident request; Town should have no trouble with accommodating future development; we are here to represent the ratepayers; resolve residential request as quickly as we can; the numbers are not large with residential requests; know we can do it; patience of ratepayers to this point; achievable objectives; how soon can we get there. Councillor Bonany: concurs with some of Councillor Toombs comments; 1/3 capacity for industries, about 8 existing industries; there is capacity out there so no need to rush to do something right away; help existing residents get connected to pipe.

8 Meeting 2000/ March 28, 2000 aware of one existing situation where existing residents have a septic tank or allocation, it is very small; aware of existing residents request to connect to the pipe; capacity somewhere; septic system, sewer; aware of one situation with a resident, is a small user and has a holding tank. Councillor Gorzo: not sure Councillor Toombs and Bonany understand the crux of the problem; Dykie and Mod-Aire signed Agreement with Town; people who purchased allocation through Agreement with Town; would like us to work with them; facts should allow resident to connect; units that have been purchased; look again at the Agreement; some hindrances in place. Councillor Toombs: show me the Agreement; we need to look at the Agreement again. Mayor Jonkman: clarification provided as from what he has heard, that capacity is 1/3 used, 1/3 spoken for but has not been built yet; and 1/3 available for the Town; 8 plants existing, so there could be 24 industrial/commercial plants in total which could locate to fill the industrial park to fill it to capacity; if that is the case, therefore suggests that two residential units for Tersigni could be accommodated to allow those two existing homes to be hooked up. Noted specifically that although Tersigni was requesting 2 existing and 2 future connections, it was his position that the Town could permit the two existing dwellings to connect. his firm was not involved in the shares when pumping station went in; There were 3 partners, Town, Mod-Aire & Dykie. If the Town wants to accommodate residential it would have to come out of the Town's capacity. Recognize a residential use has small capacity needs. Deputy Mayor Brown: read the report; need to monitor if bottleneck is there; monitoring should be done immediately; recommends to go ahead with monitoring. Clerk-Administrator: provided clarification on the residential request; The 88 Infrastructures Project was for commercial/industrial; Mod-Aire informed that they would pursue a court injunction if the Town tried to hook up the residential allocation for Mr. Tersigni; unaware of Mod-Aire's current position; To Council and Mr. Tersigni who is present, there is a clear understanding that the minutes will reflect you are saying you will entertain two existing residential connections, and not the combined total of four. Councillor Lamb: agrees, so where does it say Tersigni is part of the 200 acres in the 88 pipe;

9 Meeting 2000/13-9- March 28, 2000 Councillor Toombs: so we need Mod-Aire's approval to allow the residential request to connect. Mayor Jonkman: the sewer pipe is on Mod-Aire property in an Easement; the easement for maintenance only, not for connections; Town needs agreement to give 2 units of allocation; confirming that 2 units should be allocated for existing uses, not 4 units being 2 existing units and 2 proposed units. Deputy Mayor Brown: this is not an Emergency case; does not know how a Holding Tank was approved. Councillor Dykie: wasn't there legal advice saying if pipe runs in front of your property you can connect. Juanita Dempster-Evans: legal advice also said that second component required that there must be capacity available, thus the pipe must run in front of your property and there must be capacity available in the pipe. Councillor Lamb: contributions made by developers and residents for 2200 unit STP expansion; serendipity, when it happen it happens, if we can't accommodate them, they may never come back; 200 acres - covered; 55 acres included and then he could understand allowing the residential requests; generate a report; what allocation for 200 acres, 55 acres; what will be generated to the pipe. Councillor Dykie: also opportunity for others; for all both parties in Agreement. Councillor Dykie: requests for residential on the books; request for commercial carwash to be considered. not involved with design of Dykie pumping station; flows, misunderstanding; later Mod-Aire, Dykie and the Town; up to Town to approve how I where to allocate the Town's portion of the capacity; easement for maintenance only not for adding connections. Clerk-Administrator: advising Members of what Mod-Aire's position was that a court injunction would be sought if the Town tried to allow residential connections to the pipe; problem is that the pipe is located on private property; the pipe was not located on the road allowance because at the time of installation the road allowance was owned by the Ministry of Transportation; substantial extra dollars to locate on Ministry of Transportation road allowance and to meet their criteria, so Town made application to acquire this section of Highway 88; the Town relocated the pipe off the road allowance and onto private property in an Easement; therefore the pipe was installed off the road allowance on private property.

10 Meeting 2000/ March 28, 2000 Councillor Lamb: legal easement; what was the purpose of the easement; should check again; if not for new connections; would like to try them on that one. Councillor Toombs: letters needed from Mod-Aire Homes to ascertain if they will still object to residential connections; only obstacle for 2 residential units. Mayor Jonkman: % of flow in the pipe; we want Engineer to initiate flow study to determine peak flows. Councillor Lamb: where are we going to find the $20,000, could be Development Charges funding don't want to give them a blank cheque. Clerk-Administrator: in fairness, if Tersigni is successful with two residential units of allocation, there is no guarantee that the Committee of Adjustment will grant the two future severances. Council should get separate report on Tersigni because it is a separate issue and you don't have the information in front of you on easement etc Moved by: P. Dykie Seconded by: G. Lamb "That the report of the Town's Consulting Engineer dated March 21,2000 regarding the Holland Street Bottleneck be received, and that the Engineer be requested to monitor said flows for a period of 6 months and report back to Council with the results with an upset limit of $20, and that prebudget approval for this amount be granted." 2.
