g) AMO Policy Update dated September 18, 2014, re: Double Hatter Firefighter.
Motion No. C140924-24
Moved by Evans, Seconded by Crawford
Whereas that the AMO Policy Update dated September 18, 2014, re: Double Hatter
Firefighter be received.
And Whereas the training and certification of professional firefighters is established and
mandated by the Province of Ontario under the Fire Protection and Prevention Act, 1997;
And Whereas it is the responsibility of municipalities to establish fire departments and
appoint fire chiefs to provide fire protection services as they determine may be necessary in
accordance with their needs and circumstances;
And Whereas many Ontario municipalities rely on both full time and volunteer firefighters in
order to provide fire protection;
And Whereas the International Association of Fire Fighters ("IAFF") Constitution prohibits
full time firefighters from volunteering as firefighters in another municipal jurisdiction (i.e.
"Double Hatting");
And Whereas the IAFFs stance on Double Hatting is specifically prohibited by legislation in
almost all provinces in Canada and much of the United States;
And Whereas a volunteer firefighter in the Innisfil Fire and Rescue Service is challenging
the IAFF ban on Double Hatting and their expulsions from that union because of his desire
to continue volunteering while being employed as a full-time firefighter in another
jurisdiction;
And Whereas the right of individuals to use their free time in service of their community is a
fundamental right in a free, open and democratic society.
Now Therefore Be it resolved that the Council of the Township of Oro-Medonte requests
that the Province of Ontario amend the Fire Protection and Prevention Act, 1997 with
respect to salaried firefighters who also work as volunteer firefighters, such that if a person
is denied membership in an association of firefighters, is expelled or disciplined by the
association or engages in reasonable dissent within the association in connection with this
kind of dual role, the association is not permitted to require the employer to refuse to
employ the person as a salaried firefighter, terminate his or her employment as a salaried
firefighter or refuse to assign the person to fire protection services.
And That The Hon. Kathleen Wynne, Premier of Ontario; The Hon. Madeline Meilleur,
Attorney General; The Hon. Kevin Flynn, Minister of Labour; The Hon. Yasir Naqvi, Minister
of Community Safety and Correctional Services; The Hon. Ted McMeekin, Minister of
Municipal Affairs and Housing, Bruce Stanton, MP, Simcoe North; Garfield Dunlop, MPP,
Simcoe North, AMO and the Town of Innisfil be advised of Council's decision under the
Mayor's signature.

Construction Report No. 6
1.0PROJECTOVERVIEW
Financial Status Overview
1.1
Please see attached Appendix A for a summary of the current financial status of the project. Joe
Emmons from SBSG has updated the spreadsheet to reflect purchasing since the last report and other
changes.
There is a currentprojected cost over-run abovetheCouncil approvedbudget of $3,629,387.
See attached Appendix Afor details.
Weremind the Township that there is always financial risk in any construction project, and that in this
CM format, there is continued risk that is only partially minimized as each sub-trade is contracted. We
are done with the bulk of the major purchasing other thanthe fire water storage tank
installation/excavation and backfill- there is inherent risk in this installation given the depth of it, the
millwork, and some other more minor items. However, there is still much work left to go and new items
that require design adjustments and associated extra work often forunforeseen, arebeing
encounteredoccasionally.
As previously noted, someof the remaining purchasing is also unit rate-i.e. hourly concrete pumping
and cubic meter concretepurchasing-these purchases carry risk relative toactualquantities
purchased versus the initialestimate.Ageneral contingency of $152,155 (5%of initial costs
estimates)remains included in the budget however,
s
also developed financial contingency plansoutside
the bounds of this reportbut we are not awareof those specifics.
Change Orders are captured in Section 2 asisa listingof anyUnresolved Changes. These unresolved
changesare being worked through on an ongoingbasis-thereare afew that represent fairly
significant cost.Some are a resultof scope changes, somea result ofunknownexisting conditions,
and some a result ofdesign adjustments.
Schedule Status Overview
1.2
The Pre-Eng. liner panel is ongoing and the Pre-Eng. insulation has commenced and will befollowed
by the Pre-Eng. roofing.
The flat roofing at the rear addition iscomplete except for the metal flashing. The rink pad itself is
prepped and we are pouring it during the week of Sept.8. This is a significant milestone to attain.
th
Most of the trades have been contracted other than themillworker, fire water tankinstalland some
other more minor purchases.

Construction Report No. 6
We are still driving towards an end of November completion- at the end of July we were projecting a
mid- to end of November completion but in August we got set back yet again by rain fairly significantly-
a full 7 days of work lost due to rain. All of the critical path work to date has been weather dependent
hence the severity of how it impacts us when the weather isbad, is substantial. This isn’t a job with a
lot of interior work thattakesupaof timeat the front end of the schedule-it has
always been mostly about structureandgetting closed in which weare coming closer to realizing.
The critical pathwill then switch to the interior.
Weunderstand that the Township hascontingency plansin place for usergroups to have other ice
space available for the2014/2015seasonwhichisaprudent course of action.Construction
completion dates arecontingent onmany movingtargets and variables butevery effort is beingput
forward to maintain an end ofNovembercompletion target.This is mostlystill dependentoneach
criticalpathsub tradeperforming and deliveries holdingas planned. Andunfortunatelyalsoweather-
the low roof install should be proceedingduring the week of Sept. 15,weather permitting.Weare
th
having weekly tradeproduction meetings andare expeditingdeliveriesasmuch as possible.
2.0FR
INANCIAL EPORT
See attached updated financial forecastspreadsheet. This spreadsheet has been updated with a detailed
breakdown of the sub-trade pricing as it has becomeknown after the Tenders and prices are received and
evaluated. (See Appendix A.)The report shows that the current SBSG projection given the known costs. In
report #2, presented to Council, suggestions were made for consideration to be given to reducethe scope
of the project in light of projected overruns.However,Council decidedto proceed with the full scope of the
project in spite of aprojected overrunat that time.We have also included Appendix B outlining some of the
significant variances from the original estimate.
Again, thefollowing other considerations should be noted within the overall financial considerations of the
project:
The completion date willhave a financial impact to the project- some costs reoccur weekly until
project completion- i.e.somesite labour, the Site Superintendent wage, etc.
Oro-Minor Hockey has committed to sponsor sound systemccordinglyhas been omitted
from scope andbudget until it is quantified.
Excavation and backfill and any work underground often has more inherent risk than many other
aspects of these projects- there have been some prior problems and we still have to excavate for
the septic tanks and the fire water storage tanks which may have unknowns which can be quite
costly to deal with.
The budget assumes that the detailed final cleaning of the space will be by Township staff. Only
costs for a ‘construction clean’ are part of the current budget
Removing or abandoning the existing septic tank and bollards is currently not in the project scope
but will need to be completed presumably in order to make that portion of the parking area usable.
This will be a fairly significant cost.

Construction Report No. 6
Asphalt patching andany new asphalt is not currently part of the project scope- this will have to be
dealt with by the Township at some point in order to make the parking lot suitable for snowplows
etc.
Testing of certain things like concrete, compaction,steel inspection etc.by EXPis included as an
estimate in the budget of $5,000. The end cost will not be known definitively until project completion
but costs are likely to well exceed this particular budget line item. However, quality control, which
this line represents, should remain a priority in my opinion.
Some of the costs for things that the Township staff/departments canaccomplish on their own like
landscaping at thefront entrance andreararea etc. were previously removed from the construction
budgetand aretobe completed outside the scope of this project. This will besomethingthe
Township will needto consider in moredetail as theoutside of the building will notappear
‘finished’until this landscapingtype work is completed.
The drainageoff the site is developing into something more significant than originally planned given
the uncovering of some catch basins and clay piping on the neighbour’s property and NE corner of
the arena that were not originally known about during design- this isalso an unknown cost at this
time.
The floor moisture is a new problem- it is too high and is causing consternation about how to get
skate flooring installed without changing the intent, compromising warranties, or incurring new
charges for control measures.

6.0SAFETY
6.1 Safety Update
Leader Industries has been retained by the Township and SBSG to perform safety orientation consulting
services for the project. They are performing routine audits during construction tohelp ensure compliance
with the OHSA as well as the safety policies and procedures of the Township.There are currently no
concerns around safety from any of the Team members.SBSG asks the entire Team at each site
meeting whether there are concerns or not, and nothing notable has been raised. The public does use
the adjacent fields and parking becomes quite crowded at night and on weekends but the parking is
outside the perimeter fencing of the project.
7.0PROJECTCLOSEOUT
7.1 Acceptance of Work
SBSG Consultants have been reviewing the process during construction to help ensure compliance of
the sub tradeswith the contract design.
EXPhas inspected all areas prior to footing placement and ischecking compaction of the granular.
They have also advised on all subsurface issues and necessary courses of action for dealing with the
unknown buried septic tank inside the building, the topsoil under the existing footings, the unsuitable
soils under the changeroom slab, as well as performing concrete testing to ensure quality control of
that important component.
The building department is also called at appropriate intervals to ensure proper inspections by them
are being completed.
7.2 Manuals/Warranties/As-Builds
SBSGwill be preparing O&M manuals as sub-trade submittals are approved. As-built drawings are
being maintained as well.SBSGwill update the IFC drawings with any Site Instruction, RFI
responses, or Change Orders issued. The Site Super will maintain a record set on site noting any
changes made at the site level.
7.3 Systems Commissioning
There will be commissioning of the building as we approach the completion of the project. Typically, the
mechanical systems require the most commissioning. There is not a formal commissioning agent
involved in the project- the mechanical sub-trade will be responsible to commission their own systems as
well as the rink plant subcontractor

Initiatives
Dear Mayor and Members of Council:
On behalf of Sustainable Severn Sound and the Severn Sound Sustainability Plan Steering Committee, I am
pleased to submit our 2014 Sustainability Baseline Report, our 2014-2018 Strategic Plan and our 2014-2018
Program Initiatives for your review and information.
The 2014 Sustainability Baseline Report provides the point of reference against which the sustainability
progress (environmental, social and economic) of the watershed region may be compared or assessed over
time.
Sustainable Severn Sound has begun implementing our selected Program Initiatives while meeting the
directives of our Strategic Plan. We believe that we have provided a strong foundation for Sustainability
Reporting within the watershed which supports the goals of the Severn Sound Sustainability Plan. Please do
not hesitate to contact me or your Sustainability Plan Steering Committee representative should you wish to
discuss these documents.
Sincerely,
Tracy Roxborough
Sustainability Coordinator

BRIEFING NOTE
Subject:
Report, 2014-2018 Strategic Plan and 2014-2018 Program Initiatives
To: Township of Oro-Medonte Municipal Council
Prepared by: Tracy Roxborough, Sustainability Coordinator, Sustainable Severn
Sound
Date: September 19, 2014
Summary
Sustainable Severn Sound has recently completed:
2014 Sustainability Baseline Report (64 data-based indicators representing
each partner municipality);
2014-2018 Strategic Plan; and
2014-2018 Program Initiatives (Work Plan).
The document was supported by the Sustainability Plan Steering Committee,
comprised of municipal representatives, as well as community and partner
organizations.
The document was completed to establish a baseline measurement for
implementation of recommendations contained within the Severn Sound
Sustainability Plan.
The report consists of 64 data-based indicators, encompassing 9 municipalities, and
Protection and Integrity, Community Well-Being and Economic Prosperity.
The data contained within this document will act as reference point for the selected
64 indicators as implementation of the Plan continues. The 64 sustainability indictors
will enable the watershed community to measure progress towards or away from the
Severn Sound Sustainability Plan vision.

Background
The Severn Sound Sustainability Plan was completed in 2008 and received
endorsement by municipal partners in 2009;
Upon its completion, the plan was the first watershed-based sustainability plan in
Ontario;
Sustainable Severn Sound was established in 2010 with support from the 9
watershed municipalities to support the implementation of the Severn Sound
Sustainability Plan;
Sustainable Severn Sound has been successful since that time in supporting multiple
sustainability initiatives including:
Facilitating municipal staff training on the Severn Sound Sustainability Plan;
Supporting the adoption of Sustainability Plan considerations into select
municipal operations;
Developing a Draft Tree By-law for application within watershed
municipalities;
Sharing and distributing sustainability research, news and events with
municipal staff and partners;
Advocating and educating the community in regards to sustainable
behaviours;
Organizing and executing the 2012 Sustainability Summit in partnership with
Lakehead University;
Redesigning and launching the Sustainable Severn Sound website in 2014;
Initiating and distributing our newsletter, Sustainability News, in early 2014;
Selecting and researching the 64 sustainability indictors to provide the
foundation for our sustainability reporting program;
Composing and finalizing the 2014 Baseline Report;
Participating in numerous committees, some of which currently include:
Food Partners Alliance, County of Simcoe
Active Transportation Committee, Town of Midland
Simcoe Muskoka Active Transportation Symposium, 2015 Planning
Committee;

12.b) Correspondence dated September 19, 2014 from Tracy Rox...
Completing our 2014-2018 Strategic Plan and a corresponding
complimentary work plan to guide the efforts of the organization; and
Developing connections with community organizations throughout the
watershed in preparation for the implementation of our selected program
initiatives.
Considerations
Significant increases to the activities and efforts of Sustainable Severn Sound have been
planned for 2014 and beyond. The specific goals developed for Sustainable Severn
Sound from 2014-2018 as developed from the Baseline Report and supported by our
Strategic Plan are:
Increase public awareness and understanding about sustainability through
education and awareness programming;
Research and identify community behaviours (water, waste and energy)
through the delivery of a community-focused sustainability survey in
partnership with our secondary and/or post-secondary institutions;
Inform decisions and influence actions by providing municipal staff with
training opportunities and industry research;
Develop and pilot a Sustainable Meeting and Event Policy for application in
municipalities and community organizations; and
Advance sustainability of local businesses and organizations through the
provision of reference materials, tools and resources.
Closing Comments
Sustainable Severn Sound has included Performance and Outcome Measures as part of
our 2014-2018 Strategic Plan. As Sustainable Severn Sound moves forward in
implementation of our Program Initiatives, annual progress reports based upon
identified Performance and Outcome Measures will be submitted to the Township.

BACKGROUND STATEMENT
The Severn Sound Sustainability Plan was completed in 2008 and received endorsement
by municipal partners in 2009. At its completion, the plan was the first watershed-based
sustainability plan in Ontario.
To facilitate the implementation of the plan, the Interim Sustainability Plan Steering
Committee (retired 2010) created Sustainable Severn Sound, an organization funded by
the nine watershed municipalities and governed through the development of the
Sustainability Plan Steering Committee. The Sustainability Coordinator reports directly to
the Sustainability Plan Steering Committee, which is comprised of representatives from
the following municipalities and organizations:
City of Orillia Township of Georgian Bay
County of Simcoe Township of Oro-Medonte
Lakehead University (Orillia Campus) Township of Severn
North Simcoe Community Futures Township of Tay
Development Corporation
Township of Tiny
Orillia Area Community Development

STRATEGIC INITIATIVES 2014-2018
INITIATIVE I BIODIVERSITY AND SPECIES AT RISK AWARENESS
PROGRAM
Increase
h.W9/L9
(SAR) to advance recovery efforts and improve biodiversity by
demonstrating leadership through collaboration in biodiversity
initiatives.
A balanced and healthy environment enhances quality of life. It is the
/hb9
responsibility of the watershed community to protect SAR and take
positive actions to help ensure their survival and recovery as part of
our natural and cultural heritage.
Enhance local trail networks through interpretive signage educating
h /ha9{
users on biodiversity and SAR;
Foster and improve long-term public awareness in ecological health
and SAR; and
Increase regional knowledge of Species at Risk funding
opportunities.
INITIATIVE II COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY SURVEY
Deliver a community sustainability survey every three years to
h.W9/L9
address sustainability from an attitudinal/behavioral perspective and
provide insight into the views of the community while improving
sustainability literacy and the profile of Sustainable Severn Sound.

Efforts to gather information about residents' opinions, behaviors,
/hb9
and attitudes
perception of sustainability. Resident participation in identifying,
planning and designing services is important in advancing
community sustainability. Organizing survey delivery around a
community's environmental, social and economic needs can assist
elected officials in recognizing the interdependence in these areas.
Enhanced awareness of the Severn Sound Sustainability Plan;
h /ha9{
Improved public perception of municipalities in relation to
sustainability;
in relation to sustainability; and
Provide an opportunity for the community to participate in
determining sustainability goals and priorities.
INITIATIVE III MUNICIPAL SUSTAINABILITY EDUCATION
Provide innovative training to municipal staff to improve
h.W9/L9
sustainability awareness and encourage sustainability-related
initiatives.
Sustainable Severn Sound was created in part to provide support to
/hb9
member municipalities regarding plan implementation. Building
sustainability into municipal operations can increase the
-line, improve company culture, boost
Page 198 of 223
12.b) Correspondence dated September 19, 2014 from Tracy Rox...

employee retention and attraction, and enhance the public image of
the municipality.
Increased sustainability literacy within municipalities;
h /ha9{
Integration of sustainable practices as influenced through the
learning opportunities; and
Improved level of confidence by municipalities in Sustainable Severn
Sound.
INITIATIVE IV SUSTAINABLE MEETING AND EVENT POLICY
Implement a sustainable meeting and event policy for Sustainable
h.W9/L9
Severn Sound and pilot the use of the policy at one watershed event.
Adoption by municipalities and partner organizations will be
encouraged.
Developing the proposed Sustainable Meeting and Event Policy will
/hb9
enable Sustainable Severn Sound to reduce and avoid some of the
negative environmental impacts associated with its office operations,
particularly as they pertain to the holding of meetings and events.
This allows Sustainable Severn Sound to lead by example and
enhance awareness of their organization. This policy will also connect
to the Improving Business Sustainability Reference Guide (Initiative
VI). The proposed policy will allow Sustainable Severn Sound and our
partners to take a number of relatively simple actions which,
collectively, can make a significant difference towards creating a
more sustainable future.

water helps prevent water pollution in nearby lakes, rivers and
streams. Conserving water can also extend the life of municipal
infrastructure and private septic systems. Local artists, schools,
individuals, businesses and community organizations will be invited
to creatively paint a rain barrel.
Encourage water conservation actions resulting in water savings;
h /ha9{
Engage participants in an artistic opportunity focusing on water
conservation to reach a wide range of community members; and

Complete and distribute an Improving Business Sustainability
h.W9/L9
reference guide in collaboration with community economic
development organizations for application
business community.
Development of the guide will provide the support and tools for
/hb9
process efficiencies. This guide would act as a resource for local
businesses that want to improve not only their economic profit, but
their environmental and social impact as well, as sustainability is
about more than the environment.
Improved efficiency of business operations as a result of reduced
h /ha9{
resources (water, energy, materials);

INITIATIVE II COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY SURVEY
Delivery of a survey be prepared every 3 years to collect data for some of the indicators. The
survey would address sustainability from an attitudinal/behavioral perspective and provide
insight into the views of the community while also enhancing awareness of sustainability and
Sustainable Severn Sound. It is proposed that the survey be distributed to a minimum of 14,000
(approximately 25 percent) residents. The first year (2015) would require design of the survey
instrument and a response strategy. For subsequent reporting (2018, 2021, 2024, etc.) the same
survey instrument could be used. Breadth of the initiative depends on the potential for
collaboration with the Georgian College Analyst Program as the program would fill the role of a
consultant for SSS, given our limited capacity.
Action Start Date End Date

INITIATIVE IV SUSTAINABLE MEETING AND EVENT POLICY
Developing the proposed Sustainable Meeting and Event Policy will enable Sustainable Severn
Sound to reduce and avoid some of the negative environmental impacts associated with its office
operations, particularly as they pertain to the holding of meetings and events. This allows
Sustainable Severn Sound to lead by example and enhance awareness of their organization. This
policy will also connect to the Improving Business Sustainability Reference Guide (Initiative VI).
The proposed policy will allow Sustainable Severn Sound and our partners to take a number of
relatively simple actions which, collectively, can make a significant difference towards creating a
more sustainable future.
