That Council waive the provisions of the Township's Purchasing By-law (2004-112) to award the contract for the operation of the Oro-Medonte Community Arena Food Concession and vending machines to The Snack Shack for the 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25 ice seasons for monthly rent as outlined; 3. That the Director, Operations and Community Services be authorized to execute the appropriate agreement. Background: In September of 2018, the Operations and Community Services Department, entered into a three-year contractual agreement with the Snack Shack, operated by Christine Patenaude, for the provision of food services and vending machines at the Oro- Medonte Community Arena concession. That agreement was extended until the end of the 2022 ice season, due to the significant closures that happened throughout the pandemic. The contract has now expired and a new agreement is required. The Snack Shack has approached the Township and has expressed an interest in continuing to operate the concession stand and is requesting renewal of the contract to the end of the 2025 ice season, under the existing terms. Operations and Community Services April 27, 2022 Report No. OCS2022-11 Page 1 of 3 Page 18 of 64 10.a) OCS2022-11 , Roz Llewellyn, Supervisor, Facilities and Parks re: Or... Analysis: In the past, the operation of the concession stand at the Oro-Medonte Community Arena has gone through a request for proposals (RFP) process. Rising food and labour costs and competition from fast food substitutes have hampered the profitability of food concessions, particularly in single pad facilities, limiting the potential for revenue for any prospective vendor. The last time the contract was tendered, there were no submissions of interest and it was difficult to secure a company willing to provide this service. The partnership with the Snack Shack over the last four years has been successful in meeting service needs. The Snack Shack has demonstrated their commitment to providing food concession service and have done so with great flexibility in uncertain times over the past three years. The Snack Shack has fifteen (15) years experience in food concession operations and currently maintains contracts with a number of neighbouring municipalities. They consistently have favourable inspections from the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit and have provided a level of service and products that meet the needs of arena patrons. The existing contract requires a commitment of $475.00 per month plus HST for approximately seven (7) months (from September to April) throughout the ice season. This translates into $3,325 per year, for three years. The proposed new contract terms are listed below. 2022-2023 Season a) $ 475.00 per month plus HST for 7 months (approximately) 2023-2024 Season a) $ 475.00 per month plus HST for 7 months (approximately) 2024-2025 Season a) $ 475.00 per month plus HST for 7 months (approximately) * All payments to be made by the 1 st of the month Additionally, the Snack Shack agrees to pay the Township 10% of all vending machine gross sales annually at the end of each ice season. Given the required COVID-19 closures over the past contract term, the inherent operational challenges with the operation of the concession stand and a lack of historical interest in the contract along with Mrs. Patenaude's performance in operating the concession stand, it is recommended that provisions of the Township's Purchasing By-law be waived to grant the contract to the Snack Shack for an additional three-year term.

Corporate Strategic Goals: • Foster Safe and Inclusive Community Living and Business Growth • Modernize Township Services Attachments: Snack Shack Request Letter Conclusion: Obtaining a third party to operate the Oro-Medonte Community Arena food concession has proved to be difficult in the past. The Snack Shack has 15 years of concession stand experience in neighbouring facilities and has successfully provided dependable food service to the patrons of the arena. By renewing the contractual agreement with the Snack Shack, the Township will be in the position to provide consistent service and value to its arena facility users.

The current agreement was extended for this reason to conclude on April 20, 2022. The running of the concession stand has been an enjoyable endeavour that benefits the public and my staff.

File #: Recommendation(s): Requires Action For Information Only It is recommended: 1 . That Report OCS2022-12 be received and adopted; 2. That Council approve the renewal of the facility rental agreement for Carley Hall for the 2022-2023 school year (including use in the summer of 2022); 3. That Council approve the proposed facility rental agreement with Brookstone Academy for the use of Eady Hall for the 2022-2023 school year; 4. That both rental agreements be subject to review at the end of the agreement to determine long term compatibility of the shared use of the halls; 5. And that the Director, Operations and Community Services be authorized to execute the rental agreements with Brookstone Academy. Background: In August of 2021 , Council was approached by Brookstone Academy to enter into a lease agreement for use of the Carley Community Hall for the purpose of operating a not-for-profit private school (see report OCS2021-20). Council approved the proposal under the caveat that the hall remain available for community use outside of school hours. The Brookstone Academy has been in operation for nearly a full school year at Carley Hall and the partnership has been a successful one to date. The past two years of the pandemic created favourable conditions for the school, in that there was no competing uses for the space, since the halls were closed for rentals due to COVID-19. The halls have since reopened for public use and the Township is receiving numerous requests for rentals that will need to be accommodated moving forward. Brookstone Academy is agreeable to accommodating these rental requests, as stipulated in the rental agreement.

Shelly Long- o ma, t e owner of Broo s one ademYY, as confirme at her sc ool program at Carley Hall has been well-received by the community and her enrollment is full. Further, she also has a waitlist for additional students wishing to join the program. Given this increased demand, Brookstone Academy has approached the Township and proposed an expansion of their school program to also incorporate the use of Eady Hall. Township staff have had consultations with the Eady Hall Board to explore their interest in the proposal, and they responded in favour, albeit with the same caveat that Carley Hall has - that the Hall continue to be available for community use outside of school hours. Analysis: Carley Hall Extension of Rental — Brookstone Academy has had a successful first year operating out of Carley Hall. Given its success, Brookstone Academy is requesting to extend the rental agreement of Carley Hall for the 2022-2023 school year. In addition, Ms. Long-Bokma is requesting to use the facility throughout the 2022 summer months to meet the community need for summer programming for the children. The Carley Hall Board is agreeable to this additional use, provided that the hall is still available for rentals on the weekends. Eady Hall Proposal for Expansion — Like many of the halls, Eady Hall struggles with utilization and revenue generation. There are smaller one-off rentals, a few larger rentals and some larger community fundraising events, however for the most part, the hall could benefit from increased use. A long-term rental of this nature would be a considerable increase to Eady Hall's yearly revenues. Further, this opportunity would increase the visibility of the hall from the augmented day to day use of the building, and would potentially increase the volunteer and fundraising capacity of the Hall Board. The following outlines the requirements of the long-term facility rental agreement between the Township of Oro-Medonte and Brookstone Academy for the rental of both Carley and Eady Hall. Brookstone Academy's responsibilities: • Eady - Commitment of $3,000 per month rent plus HST (utilities inclusive of cost, internet/phone not included); Carley - Commitment of$2,550 per month rent plus HST (utilities inclusive of cost, internet/phone not included — previously $2,400); • Rental agreement grants access from 7.00 a.m.- 5.00 p.m. Monday — Friday, September to June (school year) and summer programs with dates and times to be determined. Rent can be pro-rated on a weekly basis outside of these months, should school operations require it; • Ensure compliance with all applicable legislation, • Complying with applicable water regulations/requirements for a regulated system include the completion of engineers reports, water treatment and sampling and responsibility for the costs for same; • Insurance $5M liability with property/contents coverage, naming the Township of Oro-Medonte as an additional insured; Operations and Community Services April 27, 2022 Report No. OCS2022-12 Page 2 of 4 Page 23 of 64 1eb0mo & aet � fn � Codue � � s lessahoarks re: Br y Fr e nr• Thedbope f r os ... operation; • Any maintenance/repair costs which are direct result of their use; • General cleaning/enhanced sanitizing as required by health regulations; • Any leasehold improvements would require Township approval prior to undertaking work; • Shoveling and maintenance of the walkways must be regularly maintained during the school's operating hours; • Set up/take down and storage of school supplies to allow for community use outside of school hours (evenings/weekends); • Ensuring conservation of utilities; • Provision of damage deposit (last month rent); • One-year term to start subject to review, • Collaboration with the respective Hall Boards and commitment to capital fundraising initiatives; Township responsibilities: • Provide access to tables and chairs; • Maintenance/repair of building and grounds to normal Township standards; • Provide access during specified rental parameters, while also maintaining access for community use outside of the rental agreement dates/times; • Liaison between user groups, Brookestone and Community Hall Boards; • Coordinate and administer the rental agreement. Shared Use Considerations: As the demand for community use of the halls returns, the concept of shared use of the halls in this context should be reviewed. Both uses (the school and community rentals) provide benefit to Township residents. If the primary use of the halls is considered, they were initially provided as a service to the community as a gathering and event space. However, after Council agreed to lease Carley Hall as a private school, the hall also became a service to the community as an alternative learning environment for local families. It can be argued that both services fulfill a need within the municipality. However, there is the possibility, depending on the extent of the community use, that it could become challenging for the school to accommodate all of the rental needs. The school has significant set up in order to provide a conducive learning environment and it would be challenging to accommodate daytime/evening rentals where a full teardown would be required (This would be similar to the Township renting classroom space from the School Board to facilitate recreation programs). In the past, the demand for daytime and evening use of the halls has been minimal. The greater demand was seen on the weekends for larger/longer events. However, this is an area that will need to monitored as there is potential for conflict in use and priority for what use would take priority over an another. However, following the extended shutdown due to COVID-19 this potential conflict has yet to be experienced and the best approach is likely a flexible one that relies on communication and cooperation. Should there be a need to establish further parameters during the term of the agreement staff will report back to Council for further policy direction.

It would help support families seeking affordable alternative learning opportunities, while also increasing utilization, involvement and volunteer capacity while continuing to facilitate community use and involvement. There is potential for conflict in compatibility between community and school use which will be closely monitored with additional parameters developed should they be required. Accordingly, it is recommended that rental agreements for the Carley and Eady Halls be created with Brookstone Academy for the term of the 2022-23 school year and for summer use at the Carley Hall.

That Request for supply and delivery of one (1) All-wheel Drive, Mid-sized Sport Utility Vehicle be awarded to Sunrise Toyota for the purchase of a 2022 Toyota Rav4 (Gas) in the amount of $32,117.00 plus HST. 3. That the Chief Building Official be authorized to execute the appropriate agreements on behalf of the Township. 4. That the bidders be thanked and notified of Council's decision under the Chief Building Official's signature. Background: In accordance with the Township's Fleet Life Cycle requirements, municipal vehicles are subject to replacement on a 7 year life cycle. The Building Division fleet currently includes a 2015 Ford Escape that is due for life cycle replacement in 2022. The approved 2022 Capital Budget included provisions of $33,000 for the replacement of one vehicle to support Development Services, Building Division. The 2015 Ford Escape will be sold at auction to ensure the highest value possible is obtained and was not included in the quote for a trade in value. Analysis: Nine (9) local dealerships were contacted to submit quotations for one (1) Mid-sized, All-wheel drive, Sport Utility Vehicle. As a result of those contacted and the limited vehicle supply/availability as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, only two (2) bids from one (1) dealership were received.

Due to quotes only being received from one dealership, a follow-up email was sent to all dealerships requesting further information on why quotes were not received. The following are a summation of responses and discussions with the dealerships. • Can only provide "as soon as possible" estimated at 4-6 months away. • So very much unknown for future inventory. • Inability to quote due to no inventory. • No 2022 models in fleet category. Cannot order until later in year with production dates not starting until late August 2022 • No Fleet allowance/allocations for 2022. Fleet allowance may be in the future or in 2023 • The lot is empty is the general comment, any inventory that is available is not quote worthy (too expensive) The quotes received from Sunrise Toyota indicate an estimated delivery date of June 15, 2022; however, this is much earlier than other anticipated dates based on the information that was received. Based on the information that was received from all other local dealerships contacted, it does not appear that re-issuing the RFQ will result in receipt of any further quotations. Therefore, the staff recommendation is to move ahead with purchasing. Based on these assessments, staff recommend proceeding with the purchase of the 2022 Toyota Rav4 (Gas) from Sunrise Toyota for $32,117.00 plus HST that is within the 2022 approved budget. The current Building Division fleet includes a 2020 and 2021 Rav4 that have continued to meet the needs of the Division for conducting inspections/investigations.

File #: System (HRIS) Recommendation(s): Requires Action For Information Only It is recommended: 1 . That Report No. HR 2022-01 be received and adopted. 2. That Council authorizes the purchase of ADP Workforce Now software as outlined in Report HR 2022-01. 3. And that the Director, Human Resources be authorized to execute the service agreement with ADP Workforce Now. Background: The Township has purchased and is in the process of implementing a new financial system, Great Plains Software. In addition, the Township's current Baker and Associates ERP software will be phased out by the end of 2022. The current Payroll and Human Resources Information (HRIS) systems are a component of the Baker & Associates software and are therefore required to be replaced prior to year-end. The payroll and HRIS system process impacts every employee in the municipality, at all levels of the organization. In January 2021, the Corporate Service Level Review, completed by Blackline Consulting, was presented to Council. Recommendations included modernizing services and specifically identified implementing a digital HRIS system, enabling self- service for employees, Managers and Supervisors. In early 2022 staff undertook an internal needs assessment, discussing department service requests/expectations for a new Payroll/HRIS system. The list of services were rated by priority (now or later), staff impacted (many or few) and complexity (high or low) with the first two weighted most heavily. Human Resources April 27, 2022 Report No. HR2022-01 Page 1 of 5 Page 29 of 64 10.d) HR2022-01 , Tamara Obee, Director Human Resources re: Payroll and H... In addition, local Municipalities were surveyed to determine their current suppliers and experience in utilizing the systems. The majority of Municipalities reported utilizing multiple systems to provide the Payroll and HRIS services resulting in multiple suppliers and Iogins for users. HR requested responses from 12 vendors outlining Township deliverables for a new Payroll/HRIS system. Demonstrations of 8 products were undertaken to assess user friendliness and implementation requirements, with an objective to, if possible, implement one system to provide all the Township service requirements. A second, round-two demonstration/requests for further detail, was conducted with 3 short listed suppliers, including; ADP Workforce Now, Ceridian Dayforce & Workzoom on the basis of; offering one solution, user friendliness, ease of implementation and ongoing support. Quotes for fees and implementation costs were requested and received from the 3 short listed vendors. The combined implementation and annual costs associated with ADP Workforce Now and Workzoom are equivalent. Ceridian Dayforce was eliminated due to extensive implementation requirements and annual costs. ADP Workforce Now and Workzoom are cloud based software options. Both systems were reviewed and analyzed to determine user friendliness, long term sustainability, implementation timelines and support (ability to meet tight timeline), ongoing support subsequent to implementation, employee data security, customized reporting and tracking and options for expansion and growth as the Municipality continues to grow and expand. Staff recommend ADP Workforce Now as the solution to meet the Township identified needs and to support the Township for many years. The implementation of the ADP Workforce Now software is proposed to be completed in 4 phases to address; payroll, time and attendance, learning management (training), analytics, employee education and licensing, performance and goal management, compensation management, recruitment & talent management and reporting as follows: • Phase One - Payroll, electronic time sheets & paid time off tracking, employee information system (to be completed by end of 2022) • Phases Two, Three & Four - performance and goal management; compensation management; and recruitment & talent acquisition. (planned to be completed in 2023-2024) Analysis: The current Payroll and Human Resources Information (HRIS) systems requires HR staff to perform many of duties manually with processes heavily paper based. The current Baker software allows for electronic payroll calculation and transmission; however, time sheets and overtime, are all paper based. Human Resources April 27, 2022 Report No. HR2022-01 Page 2 of 5 Page 30 of 64 10.d) HR2022-01 , Tamara Obee, Director Human Resources re: Payroll and H... Vacation and sick time are currently maintained in both paper and electronic formats. The HRIS software contained within Baker, is limited in functionality and is only available to HR staff to ensure the confidentiality of information. Reducing manual and paper-based processes was a priority for a new Township system. ADP Workforce Now is a cloud-based system that will allow employees to; review their personal information anytime through an individual access. Time sheets, time off requests and corresponding approvals will be made in real time. Management staff will have access to information on their respective staff members without having to request access through a member of the HR Team. ADP Workforce Now provides all core payroll and HR services on a single platform, and provides a dedicated in-house service model. ADP is a leader within the Payroll/HRIS marketplace with over 70,000 clients in North America. The Township will be provided a dedicated ADP implementation team, committed to ensure project timelines are met. Full implementation of the modules selected by the Township is scheduled over the next 3 years, with the plan to be completed in 2024. The ADP Workforce Now system provides for both the payroll and HRIS in one system. Utilizing one system removes the requirement for information to be maintained in two distinct applications. ADP Workforce Now provides the Township the opportunity to meet the needs and requirements of the Township today, but is scalable to meet the future needs, over the next 10-15 years, as the organization continues to grow and evolve. Pending approval of Council, the execution of the agreement and commencement of the first phase is scheduled for May 2022 for approximately 16 weeks, concluding early fall 2022. The remaining phases are planned to completed in 2023 & 2024. Implementation of the Payroll/HRIS project will be integrated within the overall Corporate projects scheduling and monitoring. The Human Resources Team will be an integral component to ensure a successful Oro-Medonte Payroll/HRIS solution in the implementation process. Plans will be established for the communication of the program and scheduling for training of all staff. Financial: Detailed costing from ADP Workforce Now has been provided to Council under separate confidential cover. Costing has been based on 140 employees, however these costs will fluctuate on a per payroll basis. The Township's agreement with ADP Workforce Now for implementation of all Phases is based on the submitted quotation. ADP does not require a termed contract, their philosophy is "We earn your business each pay cycle."

ADP Workforce Now Phase One costing, including implementation and training is approximately $28,500. Implementation and operational costs for Phases Two, Three & Four is forecast at an annual cost of$35,500. Consistent with procurement procedures, Council approval is requested to enter into an agreement with ADP Workforce Now. Payroll/HRIS project funding of$100,000 was allocated from Municipal Modernization funding received from the Province and ratified during the March 23, 2022 Council Multi- year Budget recalibration process. Costs associated with the project and the implementation of the 4 phases are intended to be funded by this Municipal Modernization Fund for 2022 and 2023, with the remaining funds, to be allocated toward staff resources for the implementation. For future years beginning in 2024, annual costs will be incorporated into the Human Resources operating budget.

The lower values are a direct reflection of the decrease in permit numbers in the associated categories. All other permit values are relatively comparable based on permit numbers. Analysis: SEPTIC MAINTENANCE PROGRAM STATS Effective January 1st 2016 the SMP program was expanded to include all properties within 100m along rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, and tributaries that feed into Lake Simcoe in addition to all previous properties within 100m of the Lake Simcoe Shoreline. This is a total of over 2500 properties throughout the Township. The program also include well head protection within the Well Head Program (WHP 2021). WHP 2021 has a compliance deadline of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021 , the second 5-year cycle of the Well Head Maintenance Program (WHP 2020) has concluded. Properties that are non-compliant with the program requirements may now be faced with additional fees, orders issued under the Building Code Act and possible legal implications. Regardless of enforcement requirements, staff continue to work with property owners to gain compliance with this cycle. December 31, 2021 marked the completion of WHP 2021 and the commencement of SMP 2026. Although SMP 2026 has commenced, enforcement and completion of SMP 2020 and WHP 2021 continue to be a priority for staff. As noted in the charts below, a number of the properties have outstanding documents that are required to be submitted; documents such as Phase 2, pump reports and maintenance agreements. Although inspections have been completed, full compliance has not yet been gained. Staff are currently working through the plan to achieve full compliance. As spring weather improves; Inspectors will be out conducting septic maintenance program inspections.

Analysis: ORDERS TO COMPLY Building Inspectors follow up on reports of illegal activity through receiving a complaint or through observation when conducting inspections throughout the Township. Orders to Comply have become a last resort in our enforcement process. Township staff alongside the local Conservation Authorities (when applicable) continue to work with property owners to educate and gain compliance. This has been the ongoing strategy as a customer service-oriented approach. This strategy has proven to be effective on a high percentage of situations. When compliance is not gained through this approach, applications for superior court are filed by the Township solicitor in order to facilitate compliance with the Building Code and Building Code Act. Policies/Legislation: Building Code Act Ontario Building Code Corporate Strategic Goals: Prepare for Our Future Foster Safe and Inclusive Community Living & Business Growth Modernize Township Services Support Our Workforce Consultations: Building staff Baker Records Cloudpermit Records Conclusion: As with other departments, COVID-19 has significantly changed the way that Building staff conduct their duties. Residential dwelling construction continues throughout the Township's approved subdivisions and developments. Staff have continued to provide excellent customer service, timely inspections, and meet the legislated timelines under the Ontario Building Code. The Septic Maintenance Program affects over 2500 properties. These additional properties are within 100 meters of a tributary to Lake Simcoe; As a large part of this program; staff are continuing to communicate and educate the public as well as work to Development Services April 27, 2022 Report No. DS2022-062 Page 6 of 7 Page 40 of 64 11 .b) DS2022-062, Garry McCartney, Chief Building Official re: Building ... obtaining compliance. With the continuation of the program through to 2026, staff will continue to focus on public education and assisting property owners with compliance. Building staff continue to issue Orders to Comply as required and proceed through the necessary legal processes to obtain compliance; however staff are proactively communicating with property owners to advise of the permit requirements and obtain building compliance without the requirement for the issuance of an Orders to Comply. Staff are committed to communicating and educating the public through various media streams that are available. Staff continue with the implementation and use of Cloudpermit. This new software has already proven its ability to be maintain consistency and a quality public facing online application platform. Staff are able to provide a high level of customer service as well as continuing to enhance processes with our new technology.

Towns ip of Report 0 Proud Heritage, Exciting Future Report No. To: Prepared By: CS2022-12 Council Jenny Legget, Communications & Public Relations Officer Meeting Date: Subject: Motion # April 27, 2022 Corporate Communications Roll #: Update R.M.S. File #: Recommendation(s): Requires Action For Information Only It is recommended: 1 . That Report No. CS2022-12 re: Corporate Communications Update be received for information. Background: The primary role of Corporate Communications is to ensure distribution of factual, timely, relevant, accessible, and transparent information to the Oro-Medonte community, Township customers, and broader audiences. Within the organizational structure, Corporate Communications is a support function to internal departments, the Senior Management Team, and Council. Corporate communications also provides internal writing and editing support. The following information provides a synopsis of communication audiences and methods/tools that are currently used. Communication audiences include the following: • Oro-Medonte residents - year-round and seasonal • Local businesses, business owners and prospective businesses • Contractors/suppliers • Investors • Media (local and Greater Toronto Area (GTA) outlets) • Provincial and Federal government agencies • Upper-tiers of government • Third-party stakeholders, groups, associations and Township partners • Township staff • Members of Council Corporate Services April 27, 2022 Report No. CS2022-12 Page 1 of 8 Page 42 of 64 11 .c) CS2022-12, Jenny Legget, Communications & Public Relations Officer... Accurate fact based information is communicated to these audiences in a concise, clear and easily understood manner. Communications Methods The following communication methods are utilized to convey information to audiences. 1. Digital/On-line Methods la- Township Website The website serves as the primary information outlet for all Township related information/business. It is important to note that website content often forms the basis for other means of digital/on-line and print communication. Video content provided on the website has proven to be beneficial for social media posts. Development of the contract Website Information Coordinator position (held by Mr. Sam Flowers) in 2021 forming part of the Corporate Services department, has proven to be very helpful and beneficial. The initial focus of the role was to assess and make necessary changes in accordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). Mr. Flowers undertook a thorough review of all website content, and made adjustments to existing content. Given AODA accessibility requirements, Mr. Flowers' experience and expertise regarding website accessibility is of great benefit to the Township. Mr. Flowers' focus has shifted to other aspects of website content including: updating and maintaining individual departmental webpages, working with IT staff regarding navigation improvements, investigating SEO (search engine optimization) and improving web information loading speeds, graphic design, evaluation of the current webhost platform, and preparing content if a determination is made to potentially adjust webhost platforms in the future. Additionally, Mr. Flowers, with the assistance of IT staff, has successfully enhanced visual aspects of the Township's website providing for a more modern look and feel. The Website Information Coordinator position has also alleviated time for staff whose positions historically encompassed components of the Township's website, allowing greater focus on economic development, and IT support activities and initiatives. The dedicated website position is beneficial on a departmental basis resulting in more timely information communicated on the Township's website. It is important to note the Township's website has been identified as a continuous improvement project and a priority in the Corporate Strategic Plan, forming part of the Township's goal to modernize our delivery of services. The Website Information Coordinator role will have significant involvement with the overall project. 1 b: Social Media — Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube Corporate Services April 27, 2022 Report No. CS2022-12 Page 2 of 8 Page 43 of 64 11 .c) CS2022-12, Jenny Legget, Communications & Public Relations Officer... Through Township of Oro-Medonte dedicated Facebook, Twitter and recent Instagram channels, factual and timely corporate messaging is shared with page followers, and the broader social media community. Information provided through social media includes: • Public Service Announcements • Notices • Operational information (i.e. road closures, construction updates, park maintenance etc.) • Tourism promotion • Township programs and services information • Township employment opportunities • Township surveys • Emergency alerts and severe weather updates • Sharing timely and relevant V party information Social media posts are communicated as appropriate on a regular basis. Scenarios such as weather events often require enhanced social media attention and response. Social media channels are monitored at minimum, daily, often with enhanced monitoring based on information conveyed (i.e. topics of particular public interest communicated through social media require additional monitoring and attention.) As a way to connect with individuals that might not follow the Township on Facebook or Twitter, the Township's Instagram channel is new this year (2022), and currently has 244 followers. Instagram is primarily used for the purpose of sharing images containing information and videos. Given the digital world that has become common place for many, corporate communications staff are continually seeing an increase of Facebook followers utilizing the messenger feature to pose questions and seek information regarding Township business. There are circumstances where the level of response expected and/or required presents challenges (i.e. during later evening hours) while balancing other communications related responsibilities/functions. When it is appropriate to further enhance exposure of messaging, social media posts are boosted with minimal cost. Boosting social media posts is a marketing approach which exponentially increases the number of people that see content by targeting specific geographic areas/locations. Tracking of boosted posts is provided through Facebook analytics assisting in determining the success of social media campaigns. The Township's YouTube channel is used for Iivestreaming Council meetings and also plays host to Township related video content (i.e. tourism marketing videos, fire prevention and septic system messaging etc.) The majority of videos are hosted on the Township's YouTube channel with closed captions meeting accessibility compliance. There has been a 46% increase in Facebook followers from January 1, 2020 to date, representative of 1,148 new followers during this timeframe. Corporate Services April 27, 2022 Report No. CS2022-12 Page 3 of 8 Page 44 of 64 11 .c) CS2022-12, Jenny Legget, Communications & Public Relations Officer... Additionally, there has been a 10% increase in Twitter followers from January 1 , 2020 to date, representing 351 new followers during this timeframe. It is important to understand that Twitter serves as a viable and reliable social media platform option but has in the past, experienced a downward trend in subscribers and followers. 1c: Township & Council Highlights E-newsletter The subscriber based Township & Council Highlights E-newsletter has historically been distributed on a bi-monthly basis containing Council highlights and timely Township related information. It should be noted that due to time constraints resulting from COVID-19, there have been gaps in distribution of the newsletter. Communication requirements associated with COVID-19 is starting to decline allowing staff the ability to begin distribution of the newsletter on a more regular basis. 1d: North Simcoe Life Publication North Simcoe Life (NSL) is published online bi-monthly (six times per year) with increased exposure to readers through boosting the publication Facebook page, and on-line marketing. Township of Oro-Medonte information is provided to readers though a dedicated Township page within the publication. Complementing the Township page is an editorial based Council "Timely Topic" which discusses specific Township related initiatives/projects. When appropriate, based on topics of substantial interest to the community, additional space is secured in the publication. It is important to note that NSL is currently the only Oro-Medonte focused publication available specific to the community. le- Information Screens Information screens are located in the lobbies of the Administration Centre and Oro- Medonte Community Arena. These screens are updated appropriately based on information requirements and utilized to communicate timely and relevant Township information such as office closures, events, programs, services and community information. 2. Print Methods Community Information Guide 2021 provided an opportunity to refresh the Community Information Guide to include content focused on Township wide projects, initiatives, and business development; in addition to community based information, business resources, and Township departmental information. The refreshed format includes a greeting message from Mayor Hughes and members of Council. Distribution of the guide in 2021 and 2022 occurred in the spring through Metroland Media newspapers (Orillia Today, Barrie Advance and the Midland Mirror.) The Community Information Guide is also available on the Township's website in an accessible digital format. To ensure maximum exposure of the spring 2022 edition, the Corporate Services April 27, 2022 Report No. CS2022-12 Page 4 of 8 Page 45 of 64 11 .c) CS2022-12, Jenny Legget, Communications & Public Relations Officer... guide was featured on the landing page of Simcoe.com for four consecutive days, with a direct click through link to the Township's website. This was timed with distribution of the publication through Metroland newspapers in late March. Simcoe.com provides news and information to communities in Simcoe County, available at any time, in a variety of formats including video. The refreshed Community Information Guide format has been well received by the community. There is opportunity to produce and distribute the guide twice per year depending on relevant content and seasonality. Given internet connectivity challenges experienced by rural communities such as Oro- Medonte, and the desire for a portion of residents to receive information in print formats, it is important for the Township to continue offering printed material. Printed information is currently available through the Community Information Guide, inserts in tax and water bills, and legislated notices and special information pieces (i.e. corporate greetings and messages) distributed through Metroland Media newspapers (Orillia Today, Barrie Advance, Midland Mirror.) It should be noted that a print daily newspaper is not available for Oro-Medonte. As previously mentioned, the only available Oro-Medonte publication is North Simcoe Life. 3. Media/Public Relations The Township has positive working relationships with local media (print, radio and television.) Greater Toronto Area (GTA) media outlets inclusive of print, radio and television have covered stories that are of interest to a broader audience. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Rogers TV Barrie has conducted a number of interviews with Mayor Hughes using Skype and Zoom technology regarding the Township's response to COVID-19, and Township related business/initiatives. This approach has been very helpful conveying information to viewers. The partnership formed with Rogers TV Barrie has proven to be beneficial to the Township and as a result, Rogers TV Barrie is supportive of including Oro-Medonte with their programming pertaining to issues/information aside from COVID-19. Interviews are also shared on the Township's social media channels and website at no cost. 4. Media Releases In circumstances where the Township requests the support of media to assist with conveying information, media releases are issued, which often result in interviews and media stories. There are also circumstances when news producers and journalists contact the Township independent of issuance of Township media releases on issues that may be brought to their attention by third parties to check facts, and when appropriate, request comments. As previously indicated, the positive working relationship with local media results in media outlets responding to, and sharing Township issued releases. Media releases are also posted on the Township website and shared on social media channels. Corporate Services April 27, 2022 Report No. CS2022-12 Page 5 of 8 Page 46 of 64 11 .c) CS2022-12, Jenny Legget, Communications & Public Relations Officer... 5. Issues Management and Intergovernmental Relations In addition to communications practices discussed above, issues management and intergovernmental relations form part of the corporate communications function. From an issues management perspective, there are occasions where dedicated focus is required to ensure proactive, timely and professional communication support for specific Township initiatives and projects, which are considered to be of significant public interest. These issues are managed using a variety of communication methods including: preparing frequently asked questions, background, historical and education communication targeted to specific impacted areas within the Township by way of Canada Post mailings, and hand delivered information/notices to resident homes. The importance of identifying potential issues and being prepared with appropriate communication remains a priority. Communication support is provided for intergovernmental relations by way of working with the Senior Management Team in preparation of briefing notes inclusive of research and background for Township meetings with Provincial and Federal Ministries/Ministers. Briefing notes are typically focused to specific Township initiatives and projects that would benefit from provincial or federal support (i.e. grant funding applications, business support, infrastructure projects, community well-being/safety initiatives etc.) Communication Specific to COVID-19 For the past two years, the COVID-19 pandemic has required focused communication both internally to staff, and externally to the public. Similar to all organizations across the globe, the Township had to quickly adjust to the impacts of the virus and continue to be flexible. Timely and important external and internal communication using a variety of methods were implemented at the onset of COVID-19 and continue today, including: • Development of a COVID-19 webpage easily navigated on the Township's website • Providing customer service adjustments and general COVID-19 information related to business and community support on the Township page in North Simcoe Life. In addition to the Township page, COVID-19 has been a Council Timely Topic in five editions of the publication • Social media posts (Facebook, Twitter and when appropriate, Instagram) • Development of the #OroMedonteStrong campaign • Subscriber based E-newsletters • Sharing appropriate information from public health organizations (Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit, Ontario Ministry of Health, Health Canada and the World Health Organization) on the Township's social media channels • Rogers TV Barrie interviews with Mayor Hughes • Extensive internal communication from CAO Dunn to staff and Council provided by e-mail and all staff meetings utilizing Zoom technology Analysis: Corporate Services April 27, 2022 Report No. CS2022-12 Page 6 of 8 Page 47 of 64 11 .c) CS2022-12, Jenny Legget, Communications & Public Relations Officer... Focus for corporate communications continues to include timely and accurate communication plans for Township programs, services, projects, initiatives and when required, issues management. Messaging is prepared relevant to the target audience. It is essential to communicate factual and accurate information in a clear and concise manner that allows audiences to understand Township initiatives, goals and priorities. The nature of local government presents opportunities when public engagement is appropriate (i.e. ward boundary review initiative; strategic planning etc.) When circumstances arise where public engagement is required, corporate communications provides support by working with staff to determine the best public engagement option(s). Providing fact based information and background, using easily understood language, are important factors of the public engagement process. A number of vital activities and projects have been identified which will required enhanced communication support and focus - the 2022 Municipal Election, as an example. Further, as Township continuous improvement projects progress, additional focus will be dedicated to internal staff/Council communication, and external communication to residents, business owners, and visitors to the community, regarding automated customer service opportunities and processes. All communication methods and tools noted earlier in this report have proven to be successful, and will continue throughout 2022. Financial / Legal Implications / Risk Management: The 2022 corporate communication operating budget is $36,000 which is inclusive of print (Community Information Guide, flyers, inserts etc.), distribution, graphics, advertising, social media campaigns, etc. Corporate communication forms part of the Corporate Services 2022 operating budget and department.

Attachments: N/A Conclusion: Corporate communications and messaging requires adaptability and flexibility based on the issue at hand, taking a proactive and fact based approach; COVID-19 remains an excellent example. Complementing flexibility and adaptability is the importance of planned communication regarding Township programs, services, and opportunities. Regardless of issues management or planned communication, it is crucial for the Township to continue to utilize effective communication methods, and remain up-to-date on emerging communication trends.

Aggregate Resources Act Licence Moratorium Aggregate Resources Act Licence Moratorium The Oro Moraine, like most other moraines, is a formation of sand and gravel deposited by glacial action during the last ice age. It is fairly large, about 26 km long, covering approximately 17,000 ha, running northwest of Lake Simcoe between Barrie and Orillia. About 60% of the moraine is forested, with the remaining 40% used for mixed farming, aggregate extraction, rural housing, and recreation - especially skiing, for which the hilly terrain is well suited. The land is almost all privately owned, with about 275 separate landowners.' The significance of the Oro Moraine is that it acts as a groundwater recharge, by filtering and controlling water flow into significant wetlands and systems. • Moratoriums are not within municipal jurisdiction however support of this initiative and the attached motion should be considered by Council for the Township of Oro-Medonte. • The Township of Oro-Medonte currently has 22 properties that are zoned MAR1 as a licenced aggregate pit/quarry in our municipality. These licenced pits occupy 1116.1 hectares or 2757.8 acres of land. • The Township of Oro-Medonte continues to be responsible, proactive stewards of our environment, our climate, Lake Simcoe and our Oro Moraine. Other municipalities affected by aggregate mining have also passed similar motions calling on the Province of Ontario to institute a moratorium on licences and expansion of licences pending a broad consultation process. Some of those municipalities include, but are not limited to: Cambridge; Halton Hills; Milton, North Dumfries, Peel Region, Puslinch, Wilmont and Woolwich. 1 The Neptis Foundation Prepared by Shawn Scott Ward 4 Councillor Page 51 of 64 12.b) Councillor Scott re: Aggregate Resources Act Licence Moratorium. Moved by S. SCOTT Seconded by C. KEANE WHEREAS Ontario currently has over 5000 Aggregate Resources Act (ARA) licenced pits and quarries located throughout the province that are able to meet the expected near and mid-term needs of Ontario's construction industry; AND WHEREAS ARA licence applications continue to be submitted without a definitive determination if there is a need for additional supply; AND WHEREAS there are 22 ARA properties that are zoned MARL as a licenced aggregate pit/quarry with a total area of 1116.1 hectares or 2757.8 acres of land in the Township of Oro-Medonte; AND WHEREAS gravel pits and quarries can cause the permanent destruction of natural environments, habitats and countryside when not properly planned and managed; AND WHEREAS pits and quarries have negative social impacts on host communities in terms of noise, air pollution, and truck traffic on haul routes; AND WHEREAS despite being heavy industry, mines are assessed at a reduced agricultural rate; AND WHEREAS the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to combat climate change has brought awareness to the very high carbon footprint associated with the production of concrete and asphalt which are major end-users of aggregates; Page 52 of 64 12.b) Councillor Scott re: Aggregate Resources Act Licence Moratorium. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Province of Ontario be requested to impose an immediate temporary moratorium on all new gravel applications, including expansions to existing licensed sites, pending a broad consultation process that would include First Nations, Township of Oro-Medonte, other affected Municipalities, independent experts and scientists, to chart a new path forward for the extraction and processing of aggregates in Ontario which: i) Establishes criteria and processes for determining the need for new aggregate licences (including the expansion to existing licenses); ii) Establishes updated policies and restrictions for aggregate extraction below the water table to reflect current groundwater sciences; iii) Assesses the cumulative impacts of aggregate operations in terms of off- site impacts to environmental systems; the groundwater regime and base flow contributions to area watercourses and wetlands; area habitat including corridors; traffic along haul routes; and, dust and noise emissions; iv) Develops new guidelines for reprocessing and recycling of concrete and asphalt products in order to ensure sustainable aggregate supplies; v) Recommends a fair levy for aggregate extraction that includes environmental and infrastructure maintenance costs to the local community of extraction and distribution of aggregate; vi) Recommends a property assessment category reflecting the heavy industrial use of licenced lands; vii) Provides greater weight to the input by local municipalities to lessen the social impacts from aggregate extraction and truck haul routes through their communities; viii) Provides clarity on the role of host municipalities under the Planning Act in decision making on ARA licence site plan amendments; ix) AND FURTHER THAT a copy of this Resolution be sent to the Honourable Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario; the leaders of all Provincial Parties; the Honourable Greg Rickford - Minister of Northern Development, Mines,Natural Resources &Forestry; the Honourable Doug Downey; the Honourable Jill Dunlop; AMO; and the County of Simcoe.

LOL2EO April 12, 2022 Dear Shawn: In following up from our recent telephone conversation I am sending this letter to you as a request to present to Council the following request for approval. Linda Delottinville and I continue to look to assist our communities create safer neighbourhoods and parks. Every second counts when it comes to Sudden Cardiac Arrest! Currently within Oro-Medonte there are 2 citizens groups and one family group (Jermey family lead by Pat Jermey) preparing to raise funds for Community AED and Save Station installments to create a safer community. These locations are within Oro-Medonte Park property; therefore, we would need the Townships approval for the placement locations. The locations are Sweetwater Park, Harbourwood Park and Bayview Memorial Park. In all three cases the resident groups are hoping to receive the support of the Township for the Installation, maintenance and monitoring of these three placement locations. It is our intent to gain agreement from Council at the April 27, 2022, council meeting so that these eager groups can launch their fund-raising campaigns and take advantage of the better weather to have the installments proceed. Page 58 of 64 15.b) Correspondence dated April 12, 2022 from Lori Hutcheson, President... Cardiac Safe awareness campaigns continue within Horseshoe Valley. Linda and I are committed to assisting these three communities in their outreach and education programs. Please feel free to reach out to me if you require any further content to help in your recommendation to council. Thank you very much for your assistance in this very important community and Township initiative. Best Regards.
