Background Interim property tax levies are provided for under Section 317 of the Municipal Act, 2001. This section provides that municipalities can pass a by-law to levy interim taxes in an amount not exceeding 50% of the previous year's total taxes. The total taxes for the previous years include the Township, County, and Education portions. To enable the Township to bill and collect the 2024 interim tax levy, Council approval of the 2024 Interim Tax Levy By-law is required. The attached By-law also sets the 2024 interest and penalty rate of 1.25% per month which is the maximum rate permitted under the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, c. 25 s. 345. Finance January 10, 2024 Report No. 2024-01 Page 1 of 3 Page 92 of 155 11 .a) F12024-01 , Nelly Morrow, Director, Finance/Chief Financial Officer... The interim property tax levy allows municipalities to raise funds to meet their obligations until the final tax rates are set for a given year. These obligations include not only those of the daily operations of the Township but also the mandated payments the Township must make to the County and the local school boards. Analysis This interim tax by-law allows the municipality to meet its ongoing financial obligations prior to the issuance of the Final Tax Bills. Final 2024 tax rates will be set, and final tax bills will be issued by the municipality once the Township has approved the 2024 budget and established tax ratios. These annual tax ratios are determined later in the first quarter due to the timing of receiving final assessment information from MPAC, the County's tax rate, and the Provincial Education tax rate. Consistent with the Township's practice in previous years, the 2024 interim tax levy will be payable in two installments. Interim tax bills will be issued in January 2024 with due dates on February 29, 2024, and April 30, 2024. Taxes for properties enrolled in the Township's pre-authorized payment plan or deferred payment plan will continue to be payable based on the approved payment plan. These amounts are withdrawn from the enrolled taxpayer's account per the agreement entered into with the Township. The interim tax bill will be 50% of the total taxes levied on the property in the prior year (2023). The amount of the interim tax bill will be deducted from each property's final tax bill in the calculation of the final amount due for 2024. Financial/Legal Implications/ Risk Management The interim levy will be approximately $25 million and is required to provide the necessary cash flow to meet operating costs and mandatory interim payments to the County and the School Boards while avoiding the need to use an overdraft borrowing facility and spread the property taxes over a minimum of 4 payments. The amounts due to the County and School Boards must be paid according to the predetermined schedule, regardless of when the actual property taxes are collected by the Township. Accordingly, the Township up-fronts payments to the County and the School Boards when taxpayers do not remit taxes by the due dates. To mitigate the impact to the Township and to taxpayers that pay by the due date, late penalty fees apply to all late tax payments.

Corporate Strategic Priorities Prepare for Our Future Consultations None Attachments By-law 2024-003 - 2024 Interim Tax Levy, Penalties & Interest Conclusion The Municipal Act, Section 317, allows a municipality to levy, on all rateable properties, an interim tax levy. The amount levied on a property shall not exceed 50% of the total amount of taxes for municipal and school purposes levied on the property for the previous year. Also under the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, c. 25 s. 345 the Township can set the interest and penalty rate of 1.25% per month, which is the maximum rate permitted.

Background The purpose of this report is to update Council on the Township's investment strategy and the current environment for investment returns. The Township investment policy statement is to establish and maintain practices and procedures to invest public funds with the highest return on investment with the maximum security and appropriate liquidity while meeting daily cash flow demands and conforming to all legislation governing the investment of public funds.

Scope and Objectives: • All investments made on behalf of the municipality including, but not limited to, operating funds, reserves, reserve funds, trust funds, and any new fund created by the municipality unless specifically exempted; • Investment activities shall be governed by the Municipal Act 2001 as amended and unless limited further by Council, will be those deemed eligible under Ontario Regulation 438/ 97 or as authorized by subsequent provincial regulations; • The safety of principal is an important objective of the and therefore investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital; • The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating or cash flow requirements and limit temporary borrowing requirements; • Without compromising other objectives, the municipality shall maximize the rate of return on its portfolio. • Suitable and authorized investments issued or guaranteed by the following institutions will be permitted by this policy, as deemed eligible by Ontario Regulation 438/97 or as authorized by subsequent provincial regulations: o Government of Canada and Provincial Governments of Canada o a municipality, school board, or local board as defined in the Municipal Affairs Act, o Schedule 1 banks as set out by Section 14 of the Bank Act subject to a minimum DBRS rating of R- 1 middle or AA o Schedule II banks as set out by section 14 of the Bank Act subject to a minimum DBRS rating of R- 1 high or AAA o Joint municipal investment pools permitted under the Municipal Act Staff received Council support to shift short-term investments with the Township's main bank TD Canada Trust (TD) into higher interest instruments with RBC Dominion Securities (RBC DS) in a 5-year laddering GIC program and the One Investment High- Interest Savings Account (HISA). An Investment Policy Statement (IPS) was created with RBC DS for funds designated as long-term reserves, the main objectives of the Long-Term IPS include: 1. Adherence to Statutory Requirements (Ontario Regulation 438/97) 2. Preservation of Capital 3. Maintaining Liquidity 4. Earning a Competitive Rate of Return Finance January 10, 2024 Report No. F12024-02 Page 2 of 5 Page 96 of 155 11 .b) F12024-02, Nelly Morrow, Director, Finance/Chief Financial Officer... Analysis The Township maintains Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investment portfolios to fund current year operating and capital financing needs, as well as holding funds to facilitate future utilization of long-term reserves for infrastructure renewal purposes. In the early part of 2020 and throughout 2021, there was a reduction in interest rates resulting in reduced return rates on eligible investments for all municipalities. The reduced interest rates became worse as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in the second half of 2021, economic activity continued to recover both globally and in Canada leading to strong momentum heading into 2022 and 2023. Investment Activities (Schedule A) Cash and Cash Equivalents The 2022 year-end cash balance was $21.6 million, and the Township's agreement with TD stipulates that interest will be paid on the average monthly balance on the deposit account at prime - 1.85%. The average 2022 cash balances generated $575,920 in interest. This cash balance remained high during 2023 due to the rate of returns which approximated or exceeded the rate available on short-term investments. The Township has a cash investment balance of$4.2 million ending December 31, 2022 ($4.4 million 2023), with One Investment Group (ONE). The account balance is currently with ONE CIBC HISA and yields interest based on prime less 1.735%. The interest earned in 2022 totaled $86,152 (2023 $221,117). The One Investment Program is an investment program designed specifically for the municipal and broader Ontario public sector. It was established in 1993 and is jointly operated by LAS, and CHUMS Financing Corp. (a subsidiary of the Municipal Finance Officers' Association of Ontario). ONE Investment is now an incorporated not-for-profit organization focused on one thing, providing investment options that support the needs of Ontario's municipalities. The program had 197 active Ontario municipal and broader public sector investors with a total investment balance of$2.98 billion across various portfolios as of December 31, 2022. Short / Long Term Investments (Schedule B) A laddering GIC portfolio of approximately $10.5 million was established with RBC DS, consisting of cash and fixed income GICs maturing between 2023 and 2027 earning interest at 1.19% to 4.36% per annum, with maturities ranging from 1 to 5 years, where each year, approximately 20% of the total portfolio matures. As at December 31, 2022, the Township held 32 fixed-income GICs invested mainly in various financial institutions with a book value of$9.9 million and a market value of$10 million. The total investment return in 2022 was $198,380. Finance January 10, 2024 Report No. F12024-02 Page 3 of 5 Page 97 of 155 11 .b) F12024-02, Nelly Morrow, Director, Finance/Chief Financial Officer... Financial/Legal Implications/ Risk Management The Township holds various financial instruments as illustrated in Schedule A which includes historical investment balances and rates of return for the years 2018 through 2022 and estimated balances for 2023 for each financial instrument category. Investment activities during 2022 generated additional revenue in the amount of $860,452 which was transferred to budget reserves. In the current market, longer term GICs (5-year) offer a lower rate of return than a 1- year GIC. The current short term interest rate environment provides an attractive opportunity although if the Bank of Canada reduces lending rates this would result in a reduction in short term interest rates. The proposed 2024 investment plan meets the scope and objectives of the Township's investment policy statement and ensures sufficient cash is available to finance operating and capital obligations.

Conclusion The economy continues to be unpredictable and inflation pressures remain elevated, the Bank of Canada and the major Canadian Banks expect interest rates will remain at current rates or could rise which should translate into higher investment earnings. Staff will continue to monitor market conditions for the purposes of making investment decisions while adhering to the objectives of the Township's investment policy statement.

Township o� Staff Report Proud Heritage, Exciting Future To: Council From: Andy Karaiskakis, Manager, Planning Services Meeting Date: January 10, 2024 Report No.: DS2024-004 Subject: Consultation on Potential Revocation of Minister's Zoning Order Ontario Regulation 609/20 Type: Requires Action Motion No.: Recommendation It is recommended: 1. That Report No. DS2024-004 be received and adopted; and, 2. That Council authorize Planning staff to make a submission to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing based on the comments as outlined in Report DS2024-004 through the Environmental Registry of Ontario (019-7996) as the Township's submission on the Ministry's Consultation on Potential Revocation of Minister's Zoning Order Ontario Regulation 609/20 in addition to any other comments received by Council. Background Section 47 of the Planning Act allows the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing (Minister) to make "Minister's Zoning Orders" (MZOs), to govern land uses within areas subject to the order. An MZO prevails over any other zoning by-law in effect in the area, giving the Minister complete authority to regulate land use on specific lands. Despite being a rarely used power for decades, the making of MZOs has become a frequent occurrence in 2020 and 2021. The Planning Act has long afforded the Minister significant discretionary authority to directly zone land; however, the use of this extraordinary power was often limited to Development Services January 10, 2024 Report No. DS2024-004 Page 1 of 8 Page 118 of 155 11 .c) DS2024-004, Andy Karaiskakis, Manager, Planning Services re: Consu... areas without municipal organization, cases of emergency or where there was a pressing provincial objective at stake. The Province has indicated that the primary reasons for the need to use the MZO tool is to help to overcome potential barriers and development delays. The Province has also indicated the proposed authority could be used to support the delivery of transit station infrastructure and the optimization of surplus lands (e.g., affordable housing and long term care homes), provide increased certainty for strategic projects, remove potential approvals delays, increase the availability of affordable housing, and provide for additional value capture to enable economic recovery. The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing is consulting on several proposals to potentially revoke, amend or enhance monitoring for specific Minister's Zoning Orders (MZOs) where limited progress has been made towards implementation of the proposed development. The Zoning Orders that have been identified for consultation are those where the proposed development has made limited progress on either advancing subsequent planning and development approvals or in addressing water and wastewater servicing on the lands subject to the Zoning Order. Zoning Orders where proposed developments are not related to housing and have made no significant progress in their entirety are being reviewed for potential revocation. Specifically as it relates to the Township, the Minister is consulting to revoke a Zoning Order (Ontario Regulation 609/20) as it applies to lands located at 561 Line 7 North, referred to as the Medical Innovation Park (refer to Attachment 1). On October 30, 2020, the Minister issued Zoning Order Ontario Regulation 609/20 for lands municipally know as 561 Line 7 North specifically for the development of a manufacturing and distribution operation intended to manufacture medical products, including personal protective equipment such as face shields, masks, protective gowns, gloves and alcohol hand sanitizer (refer to Attachment 2). Analysis Ministry staff have followed up with Township Staff several times in the past year to obtain status updates on the progress of the Township's three (3) MZOs; they are: O.Reg. 362/19 (Automotive Innovation Park); O.Reg. 609/20 (Medical Innovation Park); and O.Reg. 41/22 (Napoleon). With respect to the MZOs related to the Automotive Innovation Park and Napoleon, Planning Staff advised the Ministry that planning applications have been submitted for subsequent approvals under the Planning Act (subdivision, site plan) and are currently active applications. Regarding the MZO related to the Medical Innovation Park, Planning Staff advised the Ministry that no applications have been received by the Township to facilitate the proposed development, and further, the Township has received no correspondence from the owner of the lands about the progress of this development. Consequently, Planning Staff are of the opinion that O. Reg. 609/20 as it relates to the Medical Development Services January 10, 2024 Report No. DS2024-004 Page 2 of 8 Page 119 of 155 11 .c) DS2024-004, Andy Karaiskakis, Manager, Planning Services re: Consu... Innovation Park located at 561 Line 7 North is not progressing in an expedient manner as intended through the approval of the site specific MZO.

Planning Staff have advised Ministry Staff that no applications have been received by the Township to facilitate the proposed development, and further, the Township has received no correspondence from the owner of the lands about the progress of this development. On this basis, Staff are recommending to Council that Planning Staff be authorized to submit comments on behalf of the Township through the Environmental Registry posting consistent with those identified in report DS2024-004 and any additional comments as directed by Council at their January 10, 2024 meeting.

These actions are proposed to help the Province reach its stated goal of achieving 1.5 million new homes by 2031. One aspect of the changes is focused on municipal roles, most notably the role and relevance of select two-tier regional governments including the County of Simcoe. The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing has tasked the Standing Committee on Heritage, Infrastructure and Cultural Policy (i.e. "the Standing Committee") to conduct a review on regional governance. The Standing Committee is scheduled to meet in various locations throughout the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) in January 2024. Those parties, including municipalities, who wish to provide comments to the Standing Committee may do so either in writing or by making an oral presentation in person to the Committee. In consideration of County Council's past positions in support of a continuance of two-tiered governance, it is recommended that the Warden and staff make an oral and/or written presentation to the Standing Committee.

The County's geography, size, range of municipal diversity, and legacy of municipal cooperation in delivering service excellence suggest that a "one size fits all" approach for all upper tiers could have a detrimental impact on the ability to build more homes. The County has a longstanding tradition of efficiently providing exemplary services for the residents of the Simcoe area, including the Cities of Barrie and Orillia. As the region is expected to face high levels of growth to 2051 along with the renewed Provincial emphasis on increasing housing supply and construction, the need for a coordinated housing and infrastructure delivery system is more important and urgent than in the past. The County of Simcoe is at a different point in its evolution than other regions in the GGH. The County and its area municipalities can advocate for positive change in Simcoe County's roles/responsibilities through the Standing Committee process. Background The Province of Ontario has a stated goal of having 1.5 million new homes built by 2031. As a result, a number of announcements, legislative amendments or policy changes have been proposed and/or brought into effect. A few of these actions have centred on pending review and change associated with the two-tier municipal governance structure and the associated municipal roles. Bill 23, More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 Comprehensive changes to several pieces of legislation intended to streamline the planning process and remove perceived barriers to new development. This Act proposed to remove the formal land use planning responsibilities from 7 upper-tier municipalities (Durham, Halton, Niagara, Peel, Simcoe, Waterloo, York), on a date to be determined (i.e. Proclamation). For more information, please review Staff Report CCW 2023-031 Bill 39, Better Municipal Governance Act, 2022 Expanded mayoral powers (i.e. Strong Mayor powers) and move towards reducing duplication in order to realize joint provincial-municipal priorities. The announcement for Bill 39 also included the concept of provincially-appointed facilitators to assess 6 regional governments (Durham, Halton, Niagara, Peel Waterloo, York), but not including the County of Simcoe. The regional facilitators would be tasked with making recommendations to the province on what locally- supported governance models would best support Ontario's fastest growing municipalities in moving forward on shared priorities to help municipalities meeting their housing targets and build housing-enabled infrastructure. Provincial Announcement — AMO Conference August 2023 Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing reiterated the Province's intent to review the originally-named 6 regions with appointed facilitators, but also included Simcoe County. Page 127 of 155 13.b) Mayor Greenlaw; and Deputy Mayor Lavoie, re: County of Simcoe, Corn January 9, 2024 Committee of the Whole - CCW 2024-019 Page 3 Provincial Standing Committee, Fall 2023 As an alternative to individual facilitators for each named upper-tier, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing requested the Standing Committee on Heritage, Infrastructure and Cultural Policy to conduct the work to review the 6 regions and Simcoe County. The Standing Committee is scheduled to hold public hearings in Durham, Halton, Niagara, Waterloo and York. Specifically, the Committee intends to travel and hold public hearings in the following locations: Location Hearing Date Deadline to Register for Deadline for Written Oral Presentations Submissions Barrie November 6,2023 N/A N/A St. January 10, 2024 12:OOpm January 3, 2024 7:OOpm January 18, 2024 Catharines Burlington January 11, 2024 12:OOpm January 3, 2024 7:OOpm January 18, 2024 Brampton January 12, 2024 12:OOpm January 3, 2024 7:OOpm January 18, 2024 Ajax January 16, 2024 12:OOpm January 9, 2024 7:OOpm January 18, 2024 Vaughan January 17, 2024 12:OOpm January 9, 2024 7:OOpm January 18, 2024 Kitchener January 18, 2024 12:OOpm January 9, 2024 7:OOpm January 18, 2024 Simcoe TBD TBD TBD County* * While the provincial website notes that a hearing will be also be held in the "County of Simcoe", that date has not yet been scheduled. It is therefore recommended that the County of Simcoe make an oral presentation to the Standing Committee at one of the hearings already scheduled in Ajax, Vaughan or Kitchener, unless the Simcoe County hearing date is announced following the preparation of this staff report but before the registration deadline of January 9, 2023. Case for County Scale Planning Regional planning is a strategic approach to managing growth and development, ensuring sustainable communities, and optimizing the delivery of essential infrastructure. In today's planning context that is pressurized by housing affordability issues, neighbourhood anxiety about new development, infrastructure deficits, higher lending rates, labour shortages, and supply chain issues, the term "growth management" is better rephrased as "growth support". With the amount of growth anticipated for the Simcoe area comes the imperative to proactively plan to support growth. The importance of regional partnerships and coordination across Simcoe County in long term planning for growth and infrastructure remains integral to address current and future challenges. 1. Effective Growth Management: Regional scale planning allows for coordinated and efficient growth management and support across the entire Simcoe County geography. By establishing a cohesive vision for development, the county can Page 128 of 155 13.b) Mayor Greenlaw; and Deputy Mayor Lavoie, re: County of Simcoe, Corn January 9, 2024 Committee of the Whole - CCW 2024-019 Page 4 strategically allocate resources, plan for infrastructure needs, and create vibrant, well-connected communities. This concept was first envisioned by the Simcoe County Study Committee in 1991, which recommended amongst many things, the creation of the first County of Simcoe Official Plan. The Simcoe County Study Committee Final Report can be found 2. Infrastructure Optimization: Regional scale coordination of growth also facilitates the optimization of infrastructure delivery. By coordinating efforts, Simcoe County can prioritize and implement infrastructure projects more effectively, minimizing redundancy and maximizing the efficient use of natural resources and financial resources. This includes transportation networks, water and wastewater systems, and potentially other essential services. 3. Community Connectivity and Accessibility: Coordinated planning enhances community connectivity and accessibility. By strategically planning and constructing an integrated mobility network that is aligned with growth and infrastructure investments, Simcoe County can continue to plan for well- connected communities, improving accessibility for residents and businesses. 4. Economic Development and Job Creation: A well-planned region attracts investment and supports economic development. Regional land use planning allows Simcoe County to proactively identify key areas for growth and development, cultivating the creation of new employment opportunities and supporting a diverse and resilient economy. 5. Environmental Sustainability: Regional planning enables Simcoe County to take a comprehensive approach to environmental sustainability. By considering the ecological impact of development across the entire region, the county can work with local municipal partners to implement measures to protect environmentally significant systems, manage water resources, and promote sustainable land use practices. 6. Resilience to Climate Change: Regional planning allows Simcoe County to address the challenges posed by climate change. By incorporating climate- resilient design principles into land use planning and infrastructure development, the County can work with local municipal partners to build communities that are better prepared for extreme weather events and changing environmental conditions. 7. Collaborative Governance: County scale planning fosters collaborative governance by bringing together municipalities, government agencies, and community stakeholders. This collaborative approach ensures that diverse perspectives are considered, leading to more inclusive and effective decision- making processes. It also leverages County resources to review key issues that are relevant to several or all local municipalities, ultimately creating recommended approaches and solutions for the benefit of all. Page 129 of 155 13.b) Mayor Greenlaw; and Deputy Mayor Lavoie, re: County of Simcoe, Corn January 9, 2024 Committee of the Whole - CCW 2024-019 Page 5 The Need for Evolution County staff supports efforts that make the land use planning process in Ontario more efficient, stable and predictable. Alignment and clarity should guide future decisions about the municipal roles and responsibilities in our regional planning system. At a time when the provincial directive to build our communities has never been stronger, roles need to evolve to adeptly deliver the growth that is anticipated. Conversely, the removal of all planning responsibility from high growth upper-tier municipalities will very likely negatively impact a region's ability to plan for the services and systems (natural and infrastructure) that cross local boundaries but require long-range planning, coordination and large investments. Areas of anticipated high growth like Simcoe County require regional scale systems and County services that support development such as transit, trails, roads, solid waste management, affordable housing, natural heritage, and agriculture. Ensuring these services and systems are proactively aligned with growth expectations alongside local development approvals is critical. Over the past 20 years of growth in Simcoe County, development has occurred on substantial areas of land designated for growth in communities with sufficient water and wastewater servicing. Additional land to accommodate forecasted growth still remains in many areas of the County, and even more land for community building would open up with changes to Provincial Policy. However, in some communities, the pace of development in recent years has outpaced the ability to construct the additional infrastructure including water and wastewater servicing capacity needed to service the growth that is yet to come. These issues are not new and have been assessed several times previously, including the Intergovernmental Action Plan (IGAP — 2006), the Simcoe County Water & Wastewater Visioning Strategy (2012) and the Regional Government Review Service Delivery Reports on water and wastewater. However, despite repeated recommendations for action to reimagine how infrastructure can be delivered to support future growth, there has been little action to better coordinate and optimize infrastructure investments. Unfortunately, the important issues forecasted by these reports have become both important and urgent. Realities such as limited funding, construction cost increases, engineering approvals processes, and watershed limitations impact many of the member municipalities' ability to keep development land available and "shovel ready". In order to support the Province's goal of increasing housing supply, while also building sustainable communities, it is imperative that innovative and collaborative solutions be pursued immediately to address the various infrastructure capacity challenges across the County. An Evolved Framework for the Future In order to effectively contribute to the delivery of responsible long term growth, the County must continue to be legislatively recognized as stewards of regional systems that span local municipal boundaries. However, local municipalities also need to be better equipped to plan within settlement areas, develop their neighbourhoods, and process development approvals. While the specific roles and responsibilities between upper-tier and lower-tier to support future growth should be subject to future detailed discussion amongst the Page 130 of 155 13.b) Mayor Greenlaw; and Deputy Mayor Lavoie, re: County of Simcoe, Corn January 9, 2024 Committee of the Whole - CCW 2024-019 Page 6 Simcoe Area's municipalities and the Province, there are opportunities to reduce overlap and improve the efficiencies in delivering both planning services and infrastructure. It is recommended that the County advocate for a modification to the Planning Act to replace the term "Upper-tier without planning responsibility' that has not yet come into effect with the term such as "Upper-tier with prescribed planning authority'. This approach would allow the Province to tailor the housing system in each region being reviewed by the Standing Committee, including Simcoe County. Each affected upper-tier could have its own Regulation outlining planning responsibilities within the two-tier system and the matters that are to be dealt with the upper-tier official plan. The growth support framework for planning and infrastructure in each upper-tier would be established in these regulations, crafted to address the opportunities and challenges the local municipalities in each region are facing in order to build more homes and thriving communities. Furthermore, the County land use planning function can and should evolve to include the opportunities and options that were recommended as part of the Regional Government Review (RGR) Land Use Planning Service Delivery Review. The County retained StrategyCorp to assist with this review. StrategyCorp identified a number of key insights into the County planning function, its relationship with the Local Municipal Planning departments, and the local municipalities' own planning experience: Key Findings— Land Use Service Delivery Review • The County performs its formal responsibilities very well, but there is a desire by many within the partnership to consistently execute other roles where possible. • Local municipalities are struggling with an influx of new activity and a lack of resources. This is leading to outdated, inefficient and inconsistent processes that leads to poor outcomes. • Simcoe County performs well relative to its comparators in the support it provides local municipalities, however there are best practices worthy of consideration. These insights ultimately led to a series of high potential opportunities for further exploration that were endorsed by County Council on September 27, 2022.

Several of the above-noted core opportunity areas have been initiated. However, greater certainty of the County's role through the Planning Act, macro-level planning, and infrastructure coordination is critical to understand the resources required to support growth and the pursuit of more homes, built faster. Standing Committee Presentation — Key Themes It is recommended that the Warden and staff provide an oral and/or written submission to the Standing Committee aligned with the messaging that was provided in Schedule 1. More specifically, the County's oral submission would reflect the following key themes which support County Council's expressed desire for a continued, albeit evolved two-tier governance structure: Simcoe County is Unique — While each upper-tier under review by the Standing Committee is unique, Simcoe County is clearly at a different point in its evolution than its regional counterparts. The County's geography, size, range of municipal diversity, and legacy of municipal cooperation in delivering service excellence suggest that a "one size fits all" approach for all upper-tiers could have a detrimental impact on the ability to build more homes. Coordinated Approvals + Coordinated Pipes = More Homes, Faster— There is a critical need for regional scale infrastructure planning and delivery to unlock environmental, fiscal and technical limitations. Regional growth planning is imperative to guide infrastructure investment in the Simcoe Area. Evolve NOT Eliminate the Two-tier Planning Partnership — A legislative planning system using an "Upper-tier with Prescribed Planning Authority" approach could tailor the housing system to the needs of each region including the County of Simcoe. The County could manage macro growth and strategic systems that cross municipal boundaries and support Page 132 of 155 13.b) Mayor Greenlaw; and Deputy Mayor Lavoie, re: County of Simcoe, Corn January 9, 2024 Committee of the Whole - CCW 2024-019 Page 8 future growth in an integrated way. These systems could include transportation, mobility (transit & regional trails), water & wastewater, settlement area level growth, while also providing a single lens on Agriculture and Environment to support the viability and integrity of key resources. Complimentary to the county-wide systems outlined above, local municipalities should be equipped to plan neighbourhood and development, create and modify local policy that has no regional impact, and provide community-level services like parks, recreation and libraries. A new framework for an evolved planning partnership would provide clarity and stability in the housing system by reducing overlap while syncing investments to support growth in the future. Furthermore, other services could also be assessed to determine which could be supported and coordinated through a regional systems approach. Simcoe County is Efficient— The regional services already provided by the County are cost effective and efficient. Should the Standing Committee recommend new services be provided by the County, it is anticipated they would be provided with the same level of care and prudent management. Equipped with these themes supported by County Council, the Warden and CAO would prepare an oral presentation to the Standing Committee aimed at creating a two-tier system that is optimal for Simcoe County and its local municipalities to support growth and deliver quality services for existing taxpayers. Financial and Resource Implications There is no direct financial implication associated with the oral submission of County comments to the Provincial Standing Committee. However, potential shifts in municipal governance and jurisdictional roles/responsibilities have unknown future financial impacts for municipalities and ratepayers. If recommended by the Standing Committee, consideration of new services provided by the County should be accompanied by more detailed analysis of the associated costs. Relationship to Corporate Strategic Plan Recommendations from the Standing Committee's Regional Review are anticipated to affect the County's ability to achieve the strategic directions and priorities set out in County's Strategic Plan with respect to Growth Related Service Delivery, Environmental Sustainability, and overall asset management. However, the impacts cannot be quantified at this time until the Standing Committee completes its work and its recommendations to the Minister of Municipal Affairs are provided to the County of Simcoe.

Presentations a) Third Quarter 2023 Financial Report and Year-End Forecast General Manager, Corporate and Financial Services/CFO, Mark Critch, provided an overview of the third quarter 2023 financial results, noting an operation surplus of $545K at September 301h, with all annual priorities progressing well and within budget. Drivers of the surplus are spread across the Conservation Authority's various service areas. He reviewed the year-end forecasted expenditures for projects, noting that projects aren't typically completed within the calendar year and progress is often determined by schedules and timelines of municipal and landowner partners, making accurately budgeting in-year spending in Offsetting Programs challenging. He reviewed the 2023 year-end forecasted Capital expenditures and reserve activity.

Carried b) Chloride in the Lake Simcoe Watershed Manager, Environmental Science and Monitoring, David Lembcke, together with Manager, Watershed Plans and Strategies, Bill Thompson, provided an overview of the impacts of chloride on Lake Simcoe and its tributaries, along with efforts to address these impacts. Chloride concentrations in the surface waters of the Lake Simcoe watershed, as well as lakes and streams in much of southern Ontario and the northeastern United States, continue to increase due to the use of winter salt on roads and parking lots. A similar increasing trend is observed at the majority of monitoring stations in urban rivers. An analysis of the biologic data sets and water quality parameters identified chloride as the primary factor affecting the health of the aquatic ecology in urban tributaries of the watershed. Decreasing the amount of winter salt use throughout the watershed is critical to the long-term health of Lake Simcoe but more immediately critical to the ecological health of the urban streams and rivers. The Conservation Authority has been engaging partners on this challenge of increasing chloride concentrations for a decade and has developed a number of resources, including technical briefs that answer commonly received questions (such as, what are the alternatives to salt and their relative advantages?, is salt or sand a better choice?). Case studies have also been done on the triple bottom line benefits of adoption of better winter maintenance practices, and guidelines for designing parking lots which require less salt in winter maintenance. The Conservation Authority collaborates with various working groups (the Lake Simcoe Salt Working Group, the Freshwater Roundtable, Sustainable Technologies Evaluation Program, Environment and Climate Change Canada, and the Smart About Salt Council), which bring together representatives of all levels of government and source water protection staff, Conservation Ontario, as well as the winter maintenance industry, to discuss the adoption of better winter maintenance practices. Most recently, Conservation Authority staff co-hosted Salt Forum 2023 with Landscape Ontario. This event brought together 100 winter maintenance contractors, provincial staff, municipal staff, and conservation authority staff to discuss the Page 147 of 155 15.b) Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority re: Minutes of meeting h... Board of Directors Meeting No. BOD-09-23 Friday, November 24, 2023 Meeting Minutes Page 4 potential of a regulation to help the industry and help improve water quality throughout Ontario. Broad agreement was found amongst participants that there are significant challenges for both water quality and business sustainability, and that the adoption of the New Hampshire model in Ontario would be a significant step in addressing both of these challenges. The Conservation Authority will continue to work with its partners to promote liability limitation for contractors following winter maintenance best practices, as staff believe this is the single most effective way to hasten the adoption of better practices in the private sector.

Carried. c) Flood Management Programs Director, Engineering, Kenneth Cheney, provided an overview of the Conservation Authority's Flood Management Programs, noting that a core mandate of the Conservation Authority is to undertake watershed-based programs to protect people and property from flooding. Conservation Authorities carry out programs that serve provincial and municipal interest, including Flood Forecasting and Warning and Floodplain Mapping, along with Review and Regulation of development activities within flood hazards, in accordance with the provincial governing legislation. The Conservation Authority compiles rainfall data, land-use information (urban, rural, paved surfaces, wooded areas, etc.), topographic information (ground surface elevations to determine high ground and low ground) into computer models to determine flood hazard lands. These models simulate how much flow there will be and where it is expected. This information assists the Conservation Authority in delineating flooding hazards, in accordance with provincial guidelines. Page 148 of 155 15.b) Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority re: Minutes of meeting h... Board of Directors' Meeting No. BOD-09-23 Friday, November 24, 2023 Meeting Minutes Page 5 The Conservation Authority also conducts technical reviews, typically of Conservation Authorities Act and the Planning Act applications, as part of the approvals process. Within the Lake Simcoe watershed, there are typically three main types of flooding: • Riverine Flooding: Flooding associated with rivers, streams, watercourses. Conservation Authorities have a lead role associated with riverine flooding. • Shoreline Flooding: Flooding associated with the shorelines of large water bodies, such as lakes. Conservation Authorities have a lead role associated with riverine flooding. • Urban Flooding: Flooding in an urban area due to, often related to infrastructure. Municipalities have the lead role when it comes to urban flooding. Since floods are the most frequent natural hazard in Canada and can happen at any time of year and be caused by various factors, there is a need within the Lake Simcoe watershed, as well as a mandate issued to conservation authorities by the Province of Ontario, to protect people and property from flooding.
