Quote: After careful review of the information available from the Municipality, Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority, and Severn Sound Environmental Association, on which I was a Community SustainabilityAdvisory Committee member 1 have found no evidence of service duplication. I have several recommendations to resolve the current challenges and position Oro Medonte as leading edge example of sustainability into the future d) Letter sent to Mayor Hughes and Council from Walter Benotto, NVCA Chair dated June 4/09 re: it is critical to show how enforcement of Conservation Authority Regulations will occur. e) Email from P.

Barb Perreault, Senior Environmental Officer provided a history of the events. Officer Perreault advised that further to Mr. Graham's comments to 2003 involvement, a complaint was received and an NVCA Environmental Officer inspected the site 2 days later. It was determined that the NVCA could take no legal action as the filling activity was not subject to NVCA regulations in place at the time. Page 11 of 88 Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority, minutes of meetin... PUBLIC MEETING MINUTES TOWNSHIP OF ORO- MEDONTE REQUEST TO REDUCE CONSERVATION AUTHORITY JURISDICTION June 12, 2009 Page 6 of 9 Further to this, Officer Perreault gave a chronological account of the events up to May 9/09. On May 9/09 a call was received from Councillor Sandy Agnew, Oro Medonte and a further site visit was conducted. NVCA staff worked closely with Oro Medonte staff and the Ministry of the Environment to address the concerns including coordinating the use of the Oro Medonte Fill By -Law and NVCA regulations. Mr. Graham did not comment on the subject matter of Oro Medonte's request to reduce Conservation Authority jurisdiction. 6.2 Robin Dunn, CAO Oro Medonte Mr. Dunn provided an overview of the status of the request to reduce Conservation Authority Jurisdiction in the Township of Oro Medonte, in particular the Severn Sound Portion. In June 2003 an agreement to expand Conservation Authority Services to the Severn Sound Portion of Oro Medonte was entered. At parties, the Township of Oro Medonte, the NVCA and the Sevem Sound Environmental Association (SSEA), were clear on the intent to ensure no duplication and streamline funding for one enhanced set of programs and services provided by the NVCA and SSEA. Mr. Dunn advised that it was his understanding the NVCA provided confirmation that a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) would be completed with SSEA in order to clarify roles and responsibilities and that to date no MOU has been executed. In addition he stated that the NVCA has not provided any accountability for the services provided to Oro Medonte. Mr. Dunn went over the actions that have been taken to date including the appeal to the Mining and Lands Commissioner and the mediation meeting. As a result of the mediation, the NVCA and Oro Medonte agreed to hold 2 public meetings to obtain public input and to work together to prepare a joint staff report to be presented to the NVCA Board of Directors with recommendation. Questions and Answers of Clarification Past NVCA Chair Fred Nix, representative from the Township of Mono asked Mr. Dunn if he had a copy of the letter that stated the NVCA would enter into an MOU with SSEA. Mr. Dunn advised that he would forward a copy of the correspondence to Mr. Wilson. Mr. Chris Carrier, Mayor of Collingwood advised Mr. Dunn that as he was the NVCA Chair at the time of the expanded service to Oro Medonte, he recalled that an independent study did recommend that the NVCA take over the responsibility of regulatory roles in the expanded boundaries. Mayor Carrier advised that when talking about duplication of services, the correspondence provided to Oro Medonte by the NVCA provided as much detail as possible. When reading accountability statements made by Mayor Hughes, on how the NVCA is being unaccountable and duplicating services of the SSEA, Mayor Can noted that significant NVCA staff time has been expended describing the accountability of services in Oro Medonte. Page 12 of 88 Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority, minutes of meetin... PUBLIC MEETING MINUTES TOWNSHIP OF ORO- MEDONTE REQUEST TO REDUCE CONSERVATION AUTHORITY JURISDICTION June 12, 2009 Page 7 of 9 Councillor Barry Ward, representative from the City of Barrie said he has seen no evidence of duplication of services. He asked Mr. Dunn if he had an MOU (memorandum of agreement) prepared and if Severn Sound Environmental Association provided a list of services. Mr. Dunn responded that a list of services had been provided. Councillor Mary Brett, representative from the Township of Adjala- Tosorontio asked if consideration had been given for SSEA becoming a Conservation Authority in order to ensure adequate protection of the environment through the Conservation Authority's Act. Mr. Dunn advised that the regulatory regime would have to be reviewed and that more information would be required in order for Council to make a decision. Mr. Hough, NVCA representative of Oro Medonte advised that as a board member of the SSEA for many years, this issue was discussed and at the time lack of funding from the province and the federal government did not permit the SSEA to proceed. Further questions of clarification were asked by the Board members regarding the roles of the NVCA and SSEA. 6.3 Mayor Harry Hughes, Township of Oro Medonte Mayor Hughes circulated a handout including the NVCA/Oro- Medonte Mining and Lands Commissioners meditation resolution. Mayor Hughes provided an overview of the reasons why Oro Medonte has requested to reduce NVCA jurisdiction in the Severn Sound portion of Oro Medonte. Mayor Hughes offered the following comments: Oro Medonte Council values the work of environmental agencies. The Severn Sound portion makes up half of Oro Medonte. Funding two environmental agencies has seen a substantial increase in cost since 2002. Oro Medonte Council has heard complaints from residents regarding NVCA customer service. In the area of enforcement, the NVCA has 2 environmental officers to serve 18 municipalities. It became evident that the township would have to hire their own enforcement officers. NVCA needs to tell us (Oro Medonte) specifically how the $100,000 of tax money is being spent. Page 13 of 88 Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority, minutes of meetin... PUBLIC MEETING MINUTES TOWNSHIP OF ORO- MEDONTE REQUEST TO REDUCE CONSERVATION AUTHORITY JURISDICTION June 12, 2009 Page 8 of 9 The Decision of Oro Medonte council to appeal the NVCA levy to the Mining and Land Commissioner was unanimous. Mayor Hughes reviewed the mediation process held with the Mining and Lands Commissioner criticizing the NVCA for not providing written correspondence in advance of the meeting. Mayor Hughes went on to site a number of concerns regarding NVCA services and the way the mediation and public meeting process had proceeded and the confidentiality of the documents reviewed at the mediation session. He concluded that this meeting is not about dollars rather the maximum value for dollars spent. Questions and Answers of Clarification Mayor Hughes stated in his deputation to the Board of Directors that it was the NVCA who originally requested a boundary change In June 2003 to expand Conservation Authority Services in Oro Medonte. Past Chair Chris Carrier and NVCA Chair Walter Benotto stated that it was not the NVCA who requested the boundary change, rather it was Oro Medonte who approached the NVCA. The NVCA request to Oro Medonte was for a resolution from their Council to be presented the NVCA board regarding this matter. Mr. Wilson, CAO /Secretary Treasurer noted that a large mediation package was provided from Oro Medonte to the mediator and was kept confidential and not released for public information. The NVCA received the package at 3:00 p.m. the day before the mediation was to take place. What was posted on the NVCA web site was the mediation resolution, which Mr. Pascoe, Mediator with the Mining and Lands Commissioner and the NVCA Solicitor confirmed was not a confidential document. Further discussion ensued with Mayor Hughes and Wayne Wilson regarding the confidentiality of the resolution. Past Chair Fred Nix questioned Mayor Hughes on his budget statements. Past Chair Nix challenged the numbers Oro Medonte staff put out at the Oro Medonte public meeting which indicated an average rate increase of 14% each year on the levy portion of the NVCA. The annual average budget increase for the NVCA according to his calculation has been 4.5 When checking the SSEA strategic plan and their projected budget it indicates a annual increase of 24.4 Past Chair Nix posed the question "does the Mayor consider an increase of 4.5% out of control Mayor Hughes advised that Deputy Mayor Hough provided the numbers for the levy increase. Questions regarding the numbers should be directed to Deputy Mayor Hughes. Page 14 of 88 Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority, minutes of meetin... PUBLIC MEETING MINUTES TOWNSHIP OF ORO- MEDONTE REQUEST TO REDUCE CONSERVATION AUTHORITY JURISDICTION June 12, 2009 Page 9 of 9 Further discussion ensued regarding a number of incidents and enforcement allegations. Mayor Brian Muffin, Municipality of Grey Highlands raised the question that this public meeting is turning into a debate and that the members of the public should be invited to speak at this time. 7. PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS: Speakers will be required to sign in at the beginning of the meeting. 7.1 Mr. Smith, a resident on Bass Lake was concerned with a wetland being filled. He concluded that he feels the residents should rely on Council and Public representatives to ensure we have champions of the environment. 7.2 Jim Woodford, Member of the Oro Moraine Association spoke in support of the good work the NVCA does in particular the Oro- Moraine Report Card. Mr. Woodford was not in favour of Oro Medonte's proposal to reduce Conservation Authority Jurisdiction. 7.3 Pat Woodford, Chair of the Oro Moraine Association spoke in support of the NVCA and encouraged residents to read the Oro Moraine Report Card. 8. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS OF CLARIFICATION Mr. Sandy Agnew, Councillor and NVCA representative for Oro Medonte advised that the decision to appeal the NVCA budget to the Mining and Lands Commissioner was unanimous is true; however, there was never any discussion at Council to move or change the NVCA jurisdiction boundaries at Oro Medonte Council. Mr. Agnew would not have supported that proposal. Wayne Wilson, CAO/ Secretary- Treasurer confirmed that it is critical that NVCA and Oro Medonte staff work together in order enforce regulated areas both through the CA Planning Regulations and the Municipal Fill By -Law in order to protect the environment. 9. FINAL STATEMENT BY THE CHAIR Chair Walter Benotto thanked all in attendance for their participation and advised that the NVCA will consider all of the matters before making a decision. A Joint report from NVCA and Oro Medonte staff is scheduled to be presented at the August 28/09 NVCA Board of Directors meeting.

Greg Black, OEB Enterprise, re: Georgian Valley Project Upda... OEB Enterprise Monthly Progress Report February 15th, 2010 March 14th, 2010 Proiect Administration. Strategic Advisory and Planning Services OEB Enterprise continued working closely with the Project Committee, preparing agendas and materials for meetings with the Project Committee on February 19th and March 4th. OEB Enterprise continued coordinating the second Advisory Committee meeting, now scheduled for April 8th. For the meeting, OEB Enterprise has begun preparing an updated presentation to be shown to the group on the move forward strategy and what's been accomplished since the last meeting. Identifying /accessing senior government funding There has been significant work done to establish a revised process and timing that will allow for funding commitments from the Partners to be leveraged by senior government funding programs. Various meetings have been held with the managers and staff from the two CFDCs, and Ministry officials from Tourism and OMAFRA. This funding will enable an expansion of scope and duration of work that can be undertaken in the current Stage of the Project. Both of the initial CFDC applications were successful and OEB Enterprise has completed submitting the second application to both CFDCs in draft form for comment. The two CFDCs will not receive formal submissions until their own funding for the new fiscal year has been confirmed. OEB Enterprise also made presentations to the boards or committees of each of the CFDCs on the overall project, with a particular focus on the Pre Development Stage that the current funding request was to support. Follow -up discussions are being held with the CFDCs to get feedback on the draft applications. The purpose of all of these meetings was to ensure all parties are in agreement with the proposed workplan and funding arrangements for prospective work until the end of August. On February 18th, OEB Enterprise finalized the RED Pre Application and it was submitted by Tay Township on behalf of the partnership. On Friday March 5th the full RED application was submitted to OMAFRA. The development of budgets, timelines and deliverables was also undertaken during this process, as well as identification of infrastructure issues and the strategic positioning required to maximize chances of application success. After receiving initial feedback from OMAFRA on the RED Pre -App, modifications were made to the final document to meet government requests. Page 58 of 88 Greg Black, OEB Enterprise, re: Georgian Valley Project Upda... Also, based on feedback from Ministry officials, the Ontario Tourism Development Fund application was completed in draft form and will be submitted shortly in a final form. Coordination of Government Relations OEB Enterprise continued to provide government relations support to the Partners over this period in two key areas. It included continuing advocacy work regarding the Simcoe Growth Plan in order to mitigate the consequences of the plan being implemented in its current state, including another follow -up discussion with the former Assistant Deputy Minister at Ontario Growth Secretariat. As well, a priority target list of meetings to be held with senior government officials was further refined and meetings are being arranged.

The Lake Simcoe Regional Airport (LSRA) is one of the newest and best positioned regional airports in Canada. Centrally located and capable of handling a broad range of aircraft including helicopters and commercial jet aircraft, the LSRA offers Port of Entry status, and Canada Customs facilities for all in -bound international flights. The airport caters to a wide clientele including local industry, government services, and general aviation. Including three specific commercial development areas, the airport's entire lands consist of 240.4 ha (594 acres). The LSRA vision is to build stronger, more robust, wider -based services and a world -class facility; to develop the LSRA as a Centre of Excellence for maintenance, repair, assembly, manufacturing, and related services for the aerospace industry; and to properly position the LSRA to assume the role as a major reliever airport alternative to the GTR as the region grows and develops. The LSRA will contribute to increased trade, efficient movement of goods and people, economic growth through priorities such as, increasing the size and scope of the airport to allow safer and better utilization, encouraging business development at the airport, and opening new opportunities to create Gateways and Cross Border avenues. The benefits of investing in the LSRA are numerous and range from increased economic activity to increased assessment/jobs and meeting the Economic Development objectives of (1) attracting new businesses; (2) supporting existing businesses; and (3) encouraging entrepreneurship. These investments in the LSRA will not only drive growth in the non- residential assessment base of Oro Medonte, but also Barrie through the development of a regional aerospace industry. As a non -share capital (non profit) company incorporated under the Corporations Act the LSRA was originally owned and operated by the municipalities of Barrie, Orillia, and Oro Medonte in accordance with the terms of a "governance agreement Effective November 2008, Orillia withdrew as an owner /operator of the LSRA it has confirmed that it has no rights under the governance agreement, or to the airport lands. The governance agreement still continues in force, but Oro Medonte and Barrie have been engaged in negotiations on how best to structure the LSRA and position it for the future. They have agreed that, all monies contributed for maintenance, operation, capital or borrowing charges attributable to the LSRA will be apportioned 80% to Barrie and 20% to Oro Medonte. The LSRA will be operated through a municipal service corporation under section 203 of the Municipal Act and the corporation will be incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The two parties will work co- operatively to create unanimous shareholder agreement to replace the current governance agreement. This document highlights current and future prospects for the LSRA, provide the basis for public consultation, as well as a review of the new LSRA governance model. 3 Page Page 62 of 88 LSRA Business Case 2010 Draft 1 HISTORY Robin Dunn, Chief Administrative Officer, re: Lake Simcoe Re... In the early 1970s, the need for a regional airport in the Barrie area was identified; however, a lack of funding prevented any action until 1975. At this time, a committee called the Barrie Airport Advisory Committee was formed with the purpose to pursue funding through various levels of government. In 1976, the Ontario Government expanded the Provincial Airport Development Program, which opened the door for the Barrie Airport Advisory Committee to create and publish a report entitled "Report on Proposed Barrie and District Municipal Airport'. In this report, the committee outlined that construction of a new regional airport facility would benefit the entire geographic region and that site selection should begin immediately. Site selection for a new airport was carried out in three distinct phases. The initial phase created a list of 31 potential sites for an airport. Phase two of selection reduced the list to a potential 13 sites which were then again shortened to a list of four potential sites in the third phase of the selection process. In 1980, the list of four potential sites was shortened further to two possible locations. The first site was located south of Barrie, near Thorton and the second possible location was the "Caribou Restaurant Site located in the Township of Oro Medonte. Once final selection had taken place, it was determined that the most successful regional airport facility would be constructed at the "Caribou Restaurant Site" in Oro Medonte Township. In 1983, the City of Orillia decided to complete an Economic Impact Study to determine the value and impact that a regional airport would have on the City of Orillia. The study realized that an airport located in the township of Oro Medonte would prove beneficial creating a positive economic impact on the City of Orillia. The project remained dormant until late 1989, when following the publication of the Ontario Airport System Plan by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation; the Barrie area was identified as having a deficiency in air accessibility. A new airport for the Barrie district was recommended in this study in order to service the growing area population and to support economic development. Consultation between the City of Barrie and the Township of Oro Medonte resulted in an expression of interest and support by both parties for development of a regional airport in Oro Medonte Township. With the support of the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, the two municipalities proceeded to acquire land for the purpose of constructing a regional airport facility at the "Caribou Restaurant" location. In late 1990, virtually all of the lands were acquired and the airport development proposal was presented to the public. In March of 1990, the City of Orillia formally joined with the City of Barrie and the Township of Oro Medonte to jointly own and operate a regional airport. The first phase of construction commenced in the spring of 1990 and was funded by the Provincial Government. This allowed the airport to open in 1991 with a 3500 -foot runway and a small apron to the North of the field. Once Federal funding was secured, the second phase of construction commenced in November 1991 and the airport officially opened in 1993 with a 5000 -foot runway, a new, larger South Apron and a modern terminal building. The LSRA was originally governed by a Joint Venture Agreement dated May 2, 1990. The Joint Venture Agreement was subsequently replaced by a Lake Simcoe Regional Airport Agreement dated June 10, 2002 (the "Governance Agreement This Governance Agreement continues in force. Effective November 21, 2008, the City of Orillia withdrew from the LSRA and confirmed that it has no rights under the Governance Agreement, or to the airport lands. 41Page Page 63 of 88 LSRA Business Case 2010 Draft 1 Robin Dunn, Chief Administrative Officer, re: Lake Simcoe Re... Today the airport continues to be owned and operated by the City of Barrie and the Township of Oro Medonte. Since its inception, the airport has prospered to become a full service regional airport facility. With many attributes such as various instrument approaches, on site automated weather reporting, Imperial Oil Aviation Fuel Dealership, continued commercial hangar development and International Commercial -Port of entry status for the Canada Border Service Agency, the airport is an important aspect of the local economy, transportation infrastructure and a valued member of our growing region and communities. The LSRA is governed by 6 members -the membership is comprised of three representatives of each of Barrie and Oro Medonte. The parties agreed that such representative members must consist of at least one elected official and at least one non elected (citizen) resident of each respective appointing municipality. The LSRA membership has traditionally been comprised of two elected officials and one non elected resident of each respective appointing municipality. The LSRA members have been responsible for the preparation and submission of a budget, operational, capital and including reserve transfers on an annual calendar year basis for the approval of each of the respective municipalities. 5 P Page 64 of 88 LSRA Business Case 2010 Draft 1 AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTURE /OPERATIONS /DEVELOPMENT AREAS CURRENT INFRASTRUCTURE Robin Dunn, Chief Administrative Officer, re: Lake Simcoe Re... The LSRA is one of the newest and best positioned regional airports in Canada. Centrally located less than 20 minutes from Barrie, it boasts a 1,524 m. (5,000 ft.) long lighted runway capable of handling a broad range of aircraft including helicopters and commercial jet aircraft Services include: public terminal building, car park, aviation fuel (100 LL and Jet -A), aircraft parking, lease areas for hangars and navigation aids. The LSRA offers Port of Entry status, and Canada Customs facilities for all in -bound international flights. The airport currently has four large commercial hangers owned and operated by Weatherwise Aviation. Both the airport operators and Weatherwise Aviation have invested significant time and resources into expanding opportunities at the airport and for Weatherwise this has included significant investment in the construction of a hanger in 2003 and proposed plans for subsequent hangers. The airport caters to a wide clientele including local industry, government services, and general aviation. The LSRA offers these users a convenient location in Central Ontario, in close proximity to both the Greater Toronto Region (GTR) and Northern Ontario and is attracting increasing attention from both these and other types of users as well as airplane manufacturing companies seeking a location to manufacture and fly out their product. 6IPage Page 65 of 88 LSRA Business Case 2010 Draft 1 Robin Dunn, Chief Administrative Officer, re: Lake Simcoe Re...

DEVELOPMENT AREAS (See map page. 9) (Appendix A Lake Simcoe Aeropark) The airports entire lands consist of 240.4 ha (594 ac). While a majority of these lands are reserved for airport operational requirements (i.e. runways, taxiways, navigational aids, parking, aprons, etc.), the Master Plan does identify three (3) specific Commercial Development Areas, each of which are phased developments. The areas are as follows: 1. Landside Development Area is located in the extreme south eastern part of the airport site, south of the airport's main access road. The area available for commercial uses comprises a gross area of 4.0 ha (9.9 ac) -this area does not have airside access, nor is it presently serviced. 2. South West Commercial Development Area is a designated airside development zone located in the south west quadrant of the airport. This area is broken into two primary phases -phase 1 encompasses five 0.4 ha (1 ac) serviced lots. Phase 2 encompasses ten approximately 0.6 ha (1.5 ac) lots for a cumulative total of approximately 8.1 ha (20 ac) Please note that the Phase 2 lots are currently un- serviced, raw land. To date, Lots 1, 2, 3 4 of phase 1 of the South West Commercial Development Area have been developed -lot 5 has been sold to Weatherwise Aviation with developments pending. 3. North East Commercial Development Area offers the opportunity to create an extensive commercial development in the north east of the property with a total area of approximately 24.6 ha (60 ac). The Airport Master Plan has designated this area restricted to airside usages which could include aviation maintenance and repair businesses, specialty aircraft manufacturers and refinishers, parts and component repairs and aircraft hangar of various types. The site is presently raw, un- serviced lands. There is one 743 sq.m. (8,000 s.f.) hangar located in what could be described as the North East Commercial Development Area (located immediately east of the airport's north apron) and is presently engaged in a land lease agreement. The hangar is situated on approximately 0.2 ha (0.5 ac) and is owned by Weatherwise Aviation -this hangar could be moved /dismantled, in consideration of large scale developments such as Field Aviation. 91Page Page 68 of 88 LSRA Business Case 2010 Draft 1 td il t klipPli° i liv zrtigzigro .1 c 1 ff Ali iii 11 left ft I ;Oil I 1 tt 1 1 e El A 1 1 i w I s t ett I l cy Robin Dunn, Chief Administrative Officer, re: Lake Simcoe Re... 101Page Page 69 of 88 LSRA Business Case 2010 Draft 1 OPERATIONS Current Land Fee Structure Robin Dunn, Chief Administrative Officer, re: Lake Simcoe Re... 1. Land Lease revenue -this fee is applied to leased lands. At present, the airport is engaged in two land lease agreements, both with Weatherwise Aviation. The current blended fee structure (land lease MIT) ranges from $2.69 per sq.m. ($0.25 per s.f.), per annum to $3.23 per sq.m. ($0.30 per s.f.) per annum, based on the lot size. All property taxes applied to structures on leased land are considered additional charges and not included in the fee structure. The Land Lease fee is all encompassing to the airport property as it directly relates to the operation of the airport and does not include maintenance to the lessee's individual lot(s). 2. Airport Maintenance Charge (AMC) revenue -this fee is applied to lands sold at the airport and was created to maintain income in perpetuity (in lieu of land lease fee). The current fee structure is $1.61 per sq.m. ($0.15 per s.f.) per annum, based on the lot size. The AMC is all encompassing to the airport property as it directly relates to the operation of the airport and does not include maintenance to the purchaser's individual lot(s). As the lands are sold, titled properties, any land tax assessments are filed directly to the land owner and collected by the Township of Oro Medonte.

LSRA Business Case 2010 Draft 1 CANADIAN AEROSPACE INDUSTRY BACKGROUND DEMOGRAPHICS AEROSPACE INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION OF CANADA (AIAC) Canada is an aerospace world leader. The Canadian aerospace industry comprises more than 400 firms located in every region of the country. Collectively, these aerospace companies employ 83,000 Canadians. Since 1990, Canadian aerospace industry sales have more than doubled, reaching $23.6 billion in 2008. In addition, the Canadian aerospace industry is the country's leading advanced technology exporter Canada exports more than 80 per cent of its aerospace output. Aerospace companies in Canada are global market leaders in regional aircraft, avionics, business jets, commercial helicopters, aircraft engines, flight simulation, landing gear, and space systems. They are also globally competitive suppliers of: Airframe structural assemblies Wing structure assemblies Power conversion and distribution systems Integrated electronic controls Environmental conditioning systems Air traffic control and management systems Aviation communications systems Aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul services Canadian Aerospace Industry Composition Aircraft,Aircraft Parts Components Aeroneh, pieces et cotnposantes d'aeronefs El Maintenance, Repair Overhaul Entretien, reparation et revision Aircraft Engines Engine Parrs Moteurs d`aeroneti et pieces de moteur MI Avionics, Electra Systems Avionique, systemes eIectroniques Simulation Training: Simulation et formation Space: Espace ME Other Products Services: Autres produits et services 55% 16% 15% 6% 4% 2% 2% Canadian aerospace firms offer innovative solutions backed by sustained investment in research and development, and a highly skilled workforce. As a result, Canada's aerospace industry is robust and dynamic, with a long history of innovation and success throughout the world. 171 Page 76 of 88 LSRA Business Case 2010 Draft 1 INDUSTRY OUTLOOK Robin Dunn, Chief Administrative Officer, re: Lake Simcoe Re... According to the Conference Board of Canada's, Aerospace Product Industry Outlook recorded webinar by Michael Burt, June 2009, Canada's aerospace industry profits are expected to increase nearly 5 per cent to $620 million this year despite declining business jet demand. These additional earnings however, are expected to be wiped away in 2010 as earnings are expected to slip slightly below the 2008 total of $592 million. Although the aerospace sector is being affected by the recession, it is faring better than many other industries. Customers are rethinking or cancelling orders because of a drop in air travel and difficulties in raising credit to pay for new jets. Despite cancellations, the nearly two -year backlog of orders is only slightly below an industry record. Production is expected to slow in the next two years, but will outperform the rest of the manufacturing sector. Spillover from 2008 and a good start to 2009 are expected to help improve profits, employment and production this year. Positive profits will help weather the storm but some specific segments of the industry will be harder hit than others, one of them being the business jet segment. Things are expected to improve in 2011 to 2013 as orders are expected to rise up quite significantly and for business jets to recover. Despite the turmoil affecting civil aerospace, the defense segment remains a safe haven during the economic turbulence as governments maintain defense spending. 181Page Page 77 of 88 LSRA Business Case 2010 Draft 1 WHY INVEST AND GROW LSRA? A strong economy is essential to maintaining Canada's competitiveness and long -term prosperity for Canadians' whether they live in large cities or small communities. Modern, efficient and reliable infrastructure supports commerce, creates employment opportunities and attracts skilled knowledge workers boosting our communities' growth and competitiveness. The Lake Simcoe Regional Airport (LSRA) will contribute to increased trade, efficient movement of goods and people, economic growth through priorities such as: Increasing the size and scope of the airport to allow safer and better utilization Encourage business development at the airport Open new opportunities to create Gateways and Cross Border avenues Investment in LSRA is a critical component needed to grow our local economy. The further development of the airport structure will serve to benefit not only those communities mentioned above but also the surrounding area of Simcoe County as it grows and takes its rightful place in the transportation and logistics businesses that will serve the Greater Toronto Region (GTR) and its environs. The airport even at the present level of development has become an important facility not only in serving the basic needs of travel and commerce in the area, but also as a staging area for crucial infrastructure requirements such as regional policing efforts, provincial hydro facility monitoring and maintenance, and a business- essential customs and revenue port of entry. LSRA VISION To develop the LSRA and build a stronger, more robust, wider -based services and world class facility. To develop LSRA as a Centre of Excellence for maintenance, repair, assembly, manufacturing, and related services for the aerospace industry. To properly position the LSRA to assume the role as a major reliever airport alternative to the GTR as the region grows and develops. MUNICIPAL BENEFITS Robin Dunn, Chief Administrative Officer, re: Lake Simcoe Re... The benefits of investing in the LSRA are numerous and range from increased economic activity to increased assessment/jobs and meeting the Economic Development objectives of (1) attracting new businesses; (2) supporting existing businesses; and (3) encouraging entrepreneurship. These investments in the LSRA will not only drive growth in the non- residential assessment base of Oro Medonte, but also Barrie through the development of a regional aerospace industry. An expanded LSRA will support the attraction of new businesses to both the airport as well as the neighbouring municipalities (through the growth of a regional aerospace centre of excellence). The attraction of the potential companies to the LSRA will lead to an increased requirement for industrial services and commercial amenities that would likely be sourced locally. This would result in additional business for industrial suppliers, tradespersons, etc. In addition to this, the development of an airport business park will lead to increased demand for commercial services such as restaurants, retail stores, and other indirect services. 191Page Page 78 of 88 LSRA Business Case 2010 Draft 1 The retention of existing businesses will be supported by an expanded LSRA through both the increased economic activity and the impact of the improved infrastructure on the functionality of the airport. For example, a longer runway and more services would enable the LSRA to be able to service a wider variety of aircraft, and hence, potentially divert some traffic from other nearby airports as well as lead to increased usage by local business (e.g. Honda, Casino Rama, etc). This growth may one day lead to scheduled passenger services, tour operators, etc. and a direct impact on the tourism industry for the area. An expanded LSRA will also support entrepreneurship through both the expansion of available space and opportunities. For example, with additional space available for lease, entrepreneurs in the aerospace or related industries may choose to locate at the LSRA as the extra space may enable them to grow their businesses. In addition to this, there will be increased opportunities for local entrepreneurs to meet the needs of companies relocating to the LSRA. An example of this could be a requirement from an airplane customizing operation for a specific part which is not produced locally. A person with manufacturing expertise could start an operation that meets this need. This spin -off effect would increase both the business activity and employment in the area and has already been experienced in the area as seen in the number of businesses supported by Honda Canada's manufacturing facility in Alliston. Although at first glance it would seem that only Oro Medonte would realize a direct impact on their tax base due to activity at the LSRA, there could potentially be an impact on the City of Barrie tax base as well, and indeed the surrounding Simcoe County. FUTURE GROWTH POTENTIAL Robin Dunn, Chief Administrative Officer, re: Lake Simcoe Re... Canadian aerospace firms offer innovative solutions backed by sustained investment in research and development, and a highly skilled workforce. As a result, Canada's aerospace industry is robust and dynamic, with a long history of innovation and success throughout the world. There is a current trend for larger airline operations to outsource much of the heavier type of checks on their aircraft, and only support in -house line and regular maintenance. This allows the airline to concentrate its capital budget on the operational side and expense the maintenance on an ongoing basis. Another driver in this equation is that the equipment and facilities necessary for carrying out most of the major inspections or installing kits /upgrades require highly specialized tooling and personnel. This means a capital outlay for what is essentially a onetime event for an airline. Hence, it is more cost efficient in the long run to contract this work out. As mentioned above, airlines traditionally carried out all of this work, and therefore the business case was made for the support facilities to be located at least at one of the airports that the airline served, whether it be scheduled passenger service or cargo service. With the new model, and the rents and costs associated with being located on a large airport, a niche has opened up for these Maintenance Repair Organizations (MROs) to be located at smaller airport facilities where rents and taxes are more in line with their particular business model and their needs. There are presently a number of examples of these MRO's in Canada (e.g. Excel -Tech at Montreal Dorval, Mid Canada Mod Center at Toronto Pearson, IMP Aerospace at Halifax, Air Canada Technical Services in both Winnipeg and Montreal Dorval, etc.) and as the requirement to reduce cost increases, the outsourcing trend seems to be accelerating. These companies are also a potential source of clients for the LSRA as many of these outsourcing companies still 201Page Page 79 of 88 LSRA Business Case 2010 Draft 1 Robin Dunn, Chief Administrative Officer, re: Lake Simcoe Re... have operations at the higher cost airports. As far as the infrastructure requirements for airports seeking to meet these outsourcing needs, all that is required is an airport facility that has a runway of at least 6,000 ft with a reasonable navigation and approach facility, and available industrial land to build upon. Of course, other concerns would be appropriate work force availability, or at the very least, the ability to attract or train that specialized workforce. The cost of outsourced maintenance dictates that the maintenance company run a very cost efficient operation, and since few of the amenities that are available at an airport such as the Pearson International Airport (Toronto) are really needed or utilized by the operation, it does not make business sense to be paying higher rents and taxes to be located there. In addition to this, as more airline operations come into being and require additional runway slots and facilities, there is increased upward pressure on both lease rates and other airport fees. In this scenario, it makes more sense to have the maintenance and overhaul facilities located at a smaller and under utilized airport. The three most significant factors for companies considering relocating from a major airport to a regional airport are: 1. The physical infrastructure of the airport; 2. Suitable existing facilities or the ability to finance the construction of a new facility that meets these companies' needs; and, 3. A qualified and well trained workforce. Based on conversations with various industry professionals, the report's authors believe that the LSRA and its partner municipality are well positioned to meet the needs of these companies and assist in their relocation to the airport. Although the physical infrastructure of the airport has not been expanded to serve significant growth at this time, the basic infrastructure foundation is in place and funding from the 2009 Infrastructure Stimulus Package will ensure delivery of a better more sophisticated facility by May 2011. LSRA strategic partners, listed below, are in full support of the initiatives. Province GTAA Buttonville Airport Georgian College Barrie Business Community Weatherwise Aviation is an expert in providing solutions for companies in the aerospace sector and has extensive experience in doing so. Weatherwise also offers companies the choice of either having them construct a building for the client or to actually finance a design /build option for lease back to the company. The relationship with Weatherwise provides the LSRA with the ability to meet the needs of these outsourcing companies and thereby attract them to the airport. In terms of labour force, the Central Ontario area has a number of aerospace manufacturing or related companies that could serve as an initial source of employment for companies relocating to the LSRA. The strength of the area's automotive sector also provides a source of labour as there are many similarities and overlaps between the two industries in terms of advanced manufacturing skills. In addition to this, there have been a number of manufacturing closures in recent years and these would also serve as a pool of skilled labour. Lastly, Georgian College could serve as a labour supply through their many advanced manufacturing graduates as well as their corporate training programs that could provide the specialized skills necessary for workers in the aerospace industry. 21 Page Page 80 of 88 LSRA Business Case 2010 Draft 1 Robin Dunn, Chief Administrative Officer, re: Lake Simcoe Re... With regards to the potential of recruiting other companies to establish their operations at the LSRA, there are two important factors to consider. Firstly, the focus should not be just on the Greater Toronto Region (GTR) but also on outlying areas. The LSRA not only offers a suitable location for companies exiting the GTR, but also provides an excellent location for companies that are currently located some distance from the GTR, and would benefit from a closer proximity to it, while realizing cost advantages and an excellent quality of life. Secondly, the LSRA offers development opportunities that are not generally available at other airports in South /Central Ontario. The LSRA Commission has recently contacted the Ministry of Transport highlighting the airports crucial location to the GTR, and requested that the airport be given due consideration in the Ministry's latest efforts to study and plan for transportation infrastructure growth over the next 10 years. The LSRA and its funding partner have a unique opportunity for development because of the lower costs offered at the airport, facility availability, direct highway access and the quality of life available in the partner communities. This window of opportunity is only available for a short time and should be pursued aggressively. New business development opportunities are at our door step and competition for that business is fierce. 221 Page Page 81 of 88 LSRA Business Case 2010 Draft 1 Robin Dunn, Chief Administrative Officer, re: Lake Simcoe Re... RECOMMENDED CORPORATE STRUCTURE (Options for Corporate Governance Appendix D) The LSRA is a non -share capital (non profit) company incorporated under the Corporations Act. It was originally owned and operated by the municipalities of Barrie, Orillia, and Oro Medonte in accordance with the terms of a "governance agreement Effective November 2008, Orillia withdrew as an owner /operator of the LSRA it has confirmed that it has no rights under the governance agreement, or to the airport lands. The governance agreement still continues in force. Oro Medonte and Barrie have been engaged in negotiations on how best to structure the LSRA and position it for the future. They have agreed that: All monies contributed for maintenance, operation, capital or borrowing charges attributable to the LSRA will be apportioned 80% to Barrie and 20% to Oro Medonte. The LSRA will be operated through a municipal service corporation under section 203 of the Municipal Act. The corporation will be incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). A Municipal Service Corporation is not a local board. This means, for example that its meetings do not need to be open to the public and it will generally have more flexibility in conducting business. However, it is considered to be a local board for the purposes of: i. Sale and dispositions of land ii. Hiring of employees iii. Procurement of goods and services iv. A number of acts including the Environmental Assessment Act, the Development Charges Act, the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act, and Capital Investment Plan Act, 1993. Also, section 15 of O.Reg 599/06 allows municipalities to provide assistance to Municipal Services Corporations that would otherwise infringe the bonusing provisions of the Municipal Act. (See Appendix C for further explanation of a Municipal Service Corporation). They will work co- operatively to create unanimous shareholder agreement to replace the current governance agreement. Key terms will include the following: i. Barrie will appoint 5 and Oro Medonte will appoint 2 directors to the corporation; ii. Each party's directors will be appointed by its Council; iii. The respective Councils must still approve annual budgets and business plans, the appointment of directors, the admission of new shareholders and all amendments to the unanimous shareholder agreement.

R.M. File Roll Proud Heritage, Exciting Future As spring thaw approaches council members have been inquiring on the 2010 construction program and the status of below the line projects and the possibility of further changes or additions. The most recent discussion has been to add Line 7 hill from Warminster Side Road to the Ingram Road for construction. Also questions have been asked regarding Line 8 construction from Old Barrie Road north to Bass Lake Side Road. On January 12 Council and staff met to finalize the list of paving and construction projects. Council approved that the Bass Lake Side Road construction project with a budget of $466,000.00 would be removed and the following projects added: Line 5 Old Barrie Road to Bass Lake Side Road paving at a cost of $242,000.00. Line 8 Old Barrie Road to Bass Lake Side Road construction at a cost of $242,000.00 Council also decided that once the tendering process was finalized and actual costs were known for materials, and as projects were completed, if there was budget remaining the following projects were to proceed: Line 6 Old Barrie Road to Bass Lake Side Road paving Line 10 Warminster Side Road to Mount St Louis Side Road construction. Since the January 12 meeting in which council finalized the project list staff have itemized these projects to reflect the approved budget costs and proceeded with advertizing tenders for materials. Council will be receiving the tender results at the March 24 meeting. Should funds exist in the overall budget after the award of tenders, Council may choose to add additional projects beyond those approved on January 13 2010.
