The Township of Oro-Medonte acknowledges that we are situated on the traditional
land of the Anishnaabek (A- nish- in- aa- beh) people, and ancestral territory of the

Peoples including the historic Metis Community in Penetanguishene.
The Anishnaabek people continue to have an enduring relationship with this land,
specifically the Chippewas of Rama First Nation, the Chippewa Tri-Council and the
Williams Treaties First Nations. The Huron-Wendat Nation also continues to pay
respect and protect their ancestors and heritage on this land. We honour the
Indigenous history and culture that has thrived for millennia in this territory and the
Treaties that bind us together as partners in the spirit of a shared sustainable and
prosperous future. We are all Treaty People. Our commitment begins with

From: Donna Hewitt, Director Corporate Services
Meeting Date: August 16, 2023
Report No.: CS2023-24
Subject: Community Consultation Group (CCG) Update
Type: Requires Action
Motion No.:
Recommendation
It is recommended:
1. That Report CS2023-24, Donna Hewitt, Director Corporate Services re: Community
Consultation Group Update be received and adopted;
2. That Council support the applicants working collaboratively to determine future roles
and activities;
4. That appropriate Township staff resources provide meeting coordination support;
5. And that the CAO liaise with the CCG as required.
Background
A deputation was made before Council at the April 12t", 2023 Meeting by Mr. Pete
Merrifield regarding a proposal to create a Community Consultation Group (CCG) at
arm's length from both Township Council and staff. As outlined in Mr. Merrifield's
deputation, the primary purpose for establishment of a Community Consultation Group
is:
"to establish structured ongoing two way communication with the elected
Township Council of Oro Medonte and the Departments and Services of Oro
Medonte, The establishment of a community based issues forum is to identify the
challenges facing the community in a timely fashion and collaboratively explore
and express ideas and solutions to the elected Council and Township
Department Directors of Oro Medonte".

Council passed motion C230412-5 directing that the proposal be received and that staff
report back as expeditiously as possible.
Staff report CS2023-17 was presented to Council at the May 24, 2023 meeting. Council
supported the recommendations of staff including Council direction to staff to provide
administrative/coordination and communication support, and to initiate the public
recruitment process for interested community members.
Analysis
The recruitment process invited members of the community to submit their expressions
of interest in participating in the Community Consultation Group. Expressions of
interest were received from June 14, 2023 to July 4, 2023. A total of thirteen (13)
individuals submitted their interest in being a part of the CCG. All interested individuals
presented strong motivation for participation and considerable experience, skills, and
knowledge. To varying degrees, all wards of the municipality were represented
reflecting a variety of backgrounds, ages and duration/connections with the municipality.
Staff had not anticipated such a high level of interest.
Given the stated purpose for the CCG to be at arm's length from the Township, coupled
with the high level of interest and quality of applicants, staff are of the opinion that the
CCG and applicants would be better served to come together in a collaborative fashion
to determine future roles and functions. All individuals who submitted expressions of
interest clearly have important perspectives to bring to the group, as well as a desire to
give back to their community.
Staff are proposing that an initial meeting of the group of 13 individuals be coordinated
by the Township (room booking, set-up etc.). In accordance with the original proposal,
a member of staff will be present for administrative purposes only. The Co-chairs, once
determined by the group, will liaise with the Chief Administrative Officer as noted in the
deputation and CCG terms of reference.

Conclusion
The level of interest and qualifications presented by the thirteen individuals seeking a
role with the Community Consultation Group (CCG) was exceptionally strong. Given
the caliber of applicants, coupled with the stated intent that the CCG function at arm's
length from Council and staff, staff are recommending the group of individuals is best
served by working collaboratively to determine their future roles and responsibilities and
to liaise with the CAO as required.

pilot period including recruitment of group members.

long?) *Please note business owners/operators are not required to reside in
Oro-Medonte to be considered for the group.
2. Which Ward do you own property in, reside in, or own/operate a business in?

Background
Once a municipality has decided to participate in the Tile Drain Loan program as
authorized by The Tile Drainage Act R.S.0.1990, there are generally (4) four steps a
municipality must complete in order to loan funds to an owner of agricultural land
whose property qualifies to obtain a loan of funds to install a tile drainage system on
their property.
1. A municipality must ensure that it has a valid borrowing by-law under the Tile
Drainage Act.
• The Township currently has (4) four valid borrowing by-laws on file with
OMAFRA, for a total of $784,100, listed as follows:
o By-law 94-121 - $ 53,600
o By-law 2007-118 - $ 30,500
o By-law 2016-043 - $ 200,000
o By-law 2020-049 - $ 500,000
Total Borrowing $ 784,100
Staff recommended that each borrowing by-law remain active with
OMAFRA and that the Township utilize borrowing limits from earlier valid
by-laws first and additional limits from consecutive by-laws as required.
As such, Township Offer to Sell Debenture 2023-01 to the province for
$40,600 and shall utilize Borrowing By-law 94-121.
2. The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA)
announced the criteria for the 2023/2024 Tile Loan Program would remain the
same as last year, offering an annual loan maximum of $50,000 with a 6%
interest rate for a ten-year term. Tile drainage loans are available first-come-
first-served for the Provincial fiscal year.
Under the rules governing the Tile Drain Loan program, property owners are
eligible for a maximum loan of $50,000 per fiscal year on a per-owner basis,
not on a per-property basis. The landowners complete the application to the
municipality for the tile drain loan, and, once approved by Council, arrange to
have the drainage work performed.
• At its meeting on July 12, 2023, The Council of the Township of Oro-
Medonte provisionally approved (1) Tile Drainage Loan application as
outlined in Staff Report FI 2023-058 - Tile Drainage Loan Application,
subject to the property owner's tax account being in good standing.
Page 36 of 201
11 .b) F12023-06, Nelly Morrow, Director, Finance/Chief Financial Officer...
• Staff confirm that the property tax account related to the roll number
stated in this staff report is in good standing as of the date of this staff
report.
3. Once final costs for an approved project under the Tile Drainage Loan program
are known, Section 4 of The Tile Drainage Act R.S.O.1990 requires the
municipality to appoint an inspector and complete the necessary
documentation for a Rating By-law to be passed by the municipality.
4. Once Council has approved a Rating By-law to receive debenture funds, it is
sent to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA)
for their approval and then forwarded to the Province for funding to the
municipality. The municipality repays the loan over (10) years to OMAFRA in
(10) equal annual installments at the current interest rate of 6% and
concurrently charges the landowner on their property tax account each year.

Analysis
For Township Council's review and approval, staff has attached the necessary
supporting documentation for the Township's submission of a Tile Drain Debenture
Package to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs:
The Debenture Package, attached as Schedules 1 -4, includes the following forms
and documents:
• "Tile Drainage Debenture" form (Schedule 1)
• "Offer to Sell" form (Schedule 2)
• Rating By-law #2023-078 for Council approval, in the amount of $40,600;
which consists of (1) the loan in the amount of $40,600.00. The Rating By-
law falls within the annual limit as authorized under the Tile Loan Program.
(Schedule 3)
Page 37 of 201
11 .b) F12023-06, Nelly Morrow, Director, Finance/Chief Financial Officer...
• "Schedule of Loan" for the agricultural landowner applying for the $40,600
loan (Schedule 4)
Financial/Legal Implications/ Risk Management
The proposed tile drainage debenture is to be funded by the Province of Ontario at 6%
per year for the next (10) ten years. The Township repays the loan to OMAFRA each year
and concurrently charges the landowner on their property tax account each year.
There is a financial risk to the Township if the landowner does not pay their property taxes
as The Township of Oro-Medonte is contingently liable should the landowner default on
its payments as the municipality must continue to make its annual debenture payments
to the Province.
However, the legislation states that the tile loan has priority lien status, and as such, the
liability is against the property The loan payments are collected similarly to property
taxes, with all collection tools applicable to outstanding taxes. All overdue accounts are
subject to penalties and interest of 1.25% per month.

July, 2023 Page 2 of 13
Page 59 of 201
11 .d) HR2023-01 , Tamara Obee, Director, Human Resources re: Human Resour...
Both men and women can be victims of harassment, and someone of the same or opposite
sex can harass someone else.
Some examples of Workplace Sexual Harassment can include, but may not be limited to:
• Sexual advances or demands that the recipient does not welcome or want.
• Threats, punishment or denial of benefit for refusing a sexual advance.
• Leering (persistent sexual staring).
• Displaying sexually offensive material such as posters, pictures, calendars, cartoons,
screen savers, pornographic or erotic web sites or other electronic material.
• Distributing sexually explicit email messages or attachments such as pictures or video
files.
• Sexually suggestive or obscene comments or gestures.
• Unwelcome remarks, jokes, innuendos, propositions or taunting about a person's
body, clothing or sex.
• Persistent, unwanted attention after a consensual relationship ends.
• Physical contact of a sexual nature, such as touching or caressing.
• Sexual assault.
Discriminatory Harassment
Discriminatory harassment includes comments or conduct based on any of the protected
grounds in the Ontario Human Rights Code, that is known or ought reasonably to be known
to be unwelcome.
Some examples of discriminatory harassment can include, but may not be limited to:
• Offensive comments, jokes or behavior that disparage or ridicule a person's
membership in one of the protected grounds, such as race, religion or sexual
orientation.
• Imitating a person's accent.
• Persistent or inappropriate questions about whether a person is pregnant, has children

Workplace Harassment
Workplace harassment is a health and safety hazard that is covered under the Occupational
Health and Safety Act.
The Occupational Health and Safety Act defines workplace harassment as:
July, 2023 Page 3 of 13
Page 60 of 201
11 .d) HR2023-01 , Tamara Obee, Director, Human Resources re: Human Resour...
• Engaging in a course of vexatious comment or conduct against a worker in a
workplace that is known or ought reasonably to be known to be unwelcome; or
• Workplace sexual harassment.
Some examples of workplace harassment can include, but are not limited to:
• Verbally abusive behavior such as yelling, insults, ridicule and name calling including
remarks, jokes or innuendos that demean, ridicule, intimidate or offend.
• Workplace pranks, vandalism, bullying and hazing.
• Gossiping or spreading malicious rumours.
• Excluding or ignoring someone, including persistent exclusion of a particular person
from workplace-related social gatherings.
• Undermining someone else's efforts by setting impossible goals, with short deadlines
and deliberately withholding information that would enable a person to do their job.
• Providing only demeaning or trivial tasks in place of regular job duties.
• Humiliating someone.
• Sabotaging someone else's work.
• Displaying or circulating offensive pictures or materials.
• Offensive or intimidating phone calls or materials.
• Impeding an individual's efforts at promotions or transfers for reasons that are not
legitimate.
What Isn't Harassment
Workplace harassment should not be confused with reasonable action taken by an employer
or supervisor relating to the management and direction of workers or the workplace,
including:
• Measures to correct performance deficiencies, such as placing someone on a
performance improvement plan.
• Imposing discipline for workplace infractions.
• Requesting medical documents in support of an absence from work.
It also does not include minor workplace disagreements that may occur between individuals
or differences of opinion between co-workers.
The Test of Harassment
Intent is not a prerequisite to workplace harassment. The test of harassment is whether a
person knew or should have known that the comments or conduct were unwelcome to the
other person. For example, someone may or may not make it clear through their conduct or
body language that the behavior is unwelcome. It is sufficient that the victim perceived the
conduct as harassment and that a reasonable person in similar circumstances would have
perceived the conduct as harassment.
Although it is commonly the case, the harasser does not necessarily have to have power or
authority over the alleged victim. Harassment can occur from co-worker to co-worker,
supervisor and/or manager to employee and employee to supervisor and/or manager.

Workplace & Domestic Violence
Workplace and domestic violence that may occur in the workplace are health and safety
issues, which are covered under the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
Workplace Violence
Workplace violence is a health and safety hazard that is covered under the Occupational
Health and Safety Act.
The Occupational Health and Safety Act defines workplace violence as:
• The exercise of physical force by a person against a worker, in a workplace, that
causes or could cause physical injury to the worker;
• An attempt to exercise physical force against a worker, in a workplace, that could
cause physical injury to the worker; and/or
• A statement or behavior that is reasonable for a worker to interpret as a threat to
exercise physical force against the worker, in a workplace, that could cause physical
injury to the worker.
It is defined broadly enough to include acts that may be considered criminal. Workplace
violence can include, but is not limited to:
• Physically threatening behavior such as shaking a fist at someone, destroying
property, throwing objects.
• Verbal or written threats to physically attack a worker.
• Leaving threatening notes or sending threatening emails.
• Wielding a weapon at work.
• Engaging in stalking behaviour of any employee.
• Physically aggressive behaviours including hitting, shoving, standing excessively close
to someone in an aggressive manner, pushing, kicking, throwing an object at
someone, physically restraining someone or any other form of physical or sexual
assault.
Violence that occurs outside the normal workplace but which has an impact on the working
environment, including working relationships, may also be considered violence in the
workplace.

Page 62 of 201
11 .d) HR2023-01 , Tamara Obee, Director, Human Resources re: Human Resour...
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence is defined as behaviour used by one person to gain power and control
over another with whom he/she has an intimate relationship. This behaviour may include
physical violence or threats of violence, sexual, emotional and psychological intimidation, and
stalking.
PREVENTING HARASSMENT AND VIOLENCE:
This Policy recognizes the Township's responsibility under the Occupational Health and
Safety Act to prevent and respond to any workplace harassment and workplace violence,
including domestic violence affecting or concerning its employees.
All employees have the right to work in an environment free from harassment and violence
and all employees share the responsibility to support a harassment free and violence free
workplace.
The Township shall maintain a Workplace Violence and Harassment Program to implement
the Respect in the Workplace Policy in compliance with Part 111.0.1 of the Occupational
Health and Safety Act.
RISK ASSESSMENTS 4r 11
The Township will assess the risks of workplace violence that may arise from the nature of
the workplace, the type of work or the conditions of work. The assessments will take into
account:
• Circumstances that would be common to similar workplaces;
• Circumstances specific to the workplace; and
• Any other prescribed elements.
The assessments will be kept on file with Human Resources and will be reviewed at least
annually to determine if a reassessment is required.
The members of the Joint Health & Safety Committee and Health and Safety Representatives
will receive copies of the completed assessment forms to ensure employees are aware of
potential violence risks, to assist in identifying further risks and to ensure measures and
procedures to protect workers from workplace violence are understood.
A reassessment of the risks of workplace violence will occur as often as is necessary to
ensure that workers are protected from workplace violence.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
The Township of Oro-Medonte:
The Township of Oro-Medonte will not tolerate, ignore or condone discrimination, harassment
or violence in the workplace. It is the responsibility of the Township to respond to and take
reasonable preventative measures to protect employees from workplace harassment and
violence, which includes ensuring that all employees are trained on this policy and program,

11 .d) HR2023-01 , Tamara Obee, Director, Human Resources re: Human Resour...
Supervisors/Managers:
• Supervisors and/or Managers are expected to assist in creating a violence and
harassment-free workplace and to immediately contact the Human Resources
Department if there is a complaint of workplace harassment or violence or if they
witness or become aware of harassing or violent behaviour.
• Supervisors and/or Managers must also take every reasonable precaution to protect
employees from workplace violence, including evaluating a person's history of violent
behaviour to determine whether and to whom this employee poses a risk. In making
these evaluations supervisors should consider:
a. Whether the person's history of violence was associated with the workplace
or work.
b. Whether the history of violence was directed at a particular employee or
employees in general.
c. How long ago the incidence of violence occurred.
• In certain circumstances, Supervisors and/or Managers may have a duty to provide
information about a risk of workplace violence from a person with a history of violent
behaviour if an employee can be expected to encounter that person during the course
of his or her work, and the risk of workplace violence is likely to expose the employee
to physical injury.
• Only release as much personal information about the person with a history of violent
behaviour as is reasonably necessary to protect the employee from physical injury.
Employees:
• Must comply with this policy and legislation and shall foster a work environment that is
based on respect and is free from violence and harassment.
• Must immediately report to their Supervisor and/or Manager or Human Resources any
incident of workplace harassment or violence or threat of workplace violence.
• In the case of an extreme or imminent threat of physical harm to themselves or any
person, employees should dial 911 to contact the police.
• Cooperate during the course of an investigation and maintain confidentiality.
PROCEDURE:
INFORMAL RESOLUTION - Harassment & Discrimination
If an Employee believes that they are being harassed or discriminated against, the first thing
they can do - if the individual feels comfortable doing so - is tell the person to stop the
unwelcome behaviour or conduct. Although this may be difficult to do, telling the person that
their actions are unwelcome is often enough to stop the behaviour.
Some of the things that can be said to stop this behaviour are:
• "I don't want you to do that."
• "Please stop doing or saying..."
• "It makes me uncomfortable when you..."
• "I don't find it funny when you..."
July, 2023 Page 8 of 13
Page 65 of 201
11 .d) HR2023-01 , Tamara Obee, Director, Human Resources re: Human Resour...
If the harassment continues after speaking with the individual, or if the individual is
uncomfortable or unwilling to confront the alleged harasser directly, an Employee may want
to..
• Involve Human Resources, as set out below
• Provide him or her with a written statement of the situation.
• Include specific details of the behaviours considered to be harassing, the request to
the harasser to stop and the expectation that he or she will stop.
• Provide details of the next steps planned to take if the harassment does not stop e.g.,
filing a formal complaint.
• Keep a copy of the statement.
• It helps to keep a record of any incident(s) that are experienced. This includes when
the harassment started, what happened, whether there were any witnesses and the
responses.
However, the employee need not attempt informal resolution in cases of workplace violence,
or in cases where the employee does not feel comfortable attempting an informal resolution.
PROCEDURE — Formal Complaint of Harassment or Discrimination
Human Resources
If the incident or complaint is not resolved informally, or if the incident(s) complained of are
serious in nature or involve allegations of workplace violence, Employees must report the
incident or complaint to Human Resources. Human Resources shall act as workplace
coordinator with respect to harassment in the workplace.
If an Employee believes that someone who is not a member of our organization, e.g. a
customer, supplier, etc., has harassed or discriminated against them, please report the
harassment to your Supervisor and/or Manager or Human Resources. Although the
Township of Oro-Medonte has limited control over third parties, the issue will be addressed
and an attempt will be made to prevent further problems from arising.
The complaint should include the name of the person that is believed to be the harasser, the
complainant's name, details of what happened, including the place, date and time of the
incident(s), and the names of any possible witnesses.
It is important that Human Resources receives the complaint as soon as possible so that the
problem does not escalate or happen again.
The Township of Oro-Medonte will ensure that an investigation is conducted into incidents
and complaints of discrimination or workplace harassment that is appropriate in the
circumstances.
Discrimination and workplace harassment are serious matters. Therefore, if an Employee
decides not to make a complaint, Human Resources may still need to investigate the matter
and take steps to prevent further incidents, as appropriate.
July, 2023 Page 9 of 13
Page 66 of 201
11 .d) HR2023-01 , Tamara Obee, Director, Human Resources re: Human Resour...
Investigation Procedure:
Human Resources, in consultation with the Chief Administrative Officer, will commence an
investigation that is appropriate in the circumstances, choosing to use either an internal or
external investigator, depending on the circumstances, including the nature of the complaint.
The investigation shall be conducted fairly and impartially and will include:
• Interviewing the complainant and respondent to ascertain all the facts and
circumstances relevant to the complaint, including dates and locations.
• Interview relevant witnesses, if any.
• Giving the respondent an opportunity to respond to the allegations.
• Reviewing any related documentation.
• Making appropriate notes of the investigation and maintaining them in a confidential
file.
• Make a determination as to whether the allegations are substantiated or not
substantiated.
Information relating to a complaint will be treated as confidential, but information may need to
be disclosed to allow for the processing of the complaint, the conduct of the investigation, and
if there is a legal duty to disclose the information. All parties to the investigation have a duty
to maintain confidentiality. Everyone has the duty to cooperate in the investigation.
Once the investigation is complete, the investigator(s) will submit the findings to Human
Resources. A summary of the findings will also be provided to the complainant and
respondent.
The Township will make efforts to complete any investigation and communicate the results to
the complainant and respondent in writing within thirty (30) days after a complaint is received,
when possible. In some circumstances this will not be possible and the Township will make
efforts to update the parties regarding timelines.
Corrective Action:
Human Resources, in consultation with the Chief Administrative Officer, will determine what
corrective action, if any should be taken as a result of the investigation.
Human Resources will inform, in writing, the complainant and respondent of the results of the
investigation and of any corrective action that has been or will be taken, if any were
necessary.
If a finding of harassment is made, the Township of Oro-Medonte will take appropriate
corrective measures, up to and including termination of employment.
There shall be no reprisal. If a complaint is made in good faith and without malice, regardless
of the outcome of the investigation, the Complainant will not be subject to any form of
July, 2023 Page 10 of 13
Page 67 of 201
11 .d) HR2023-01 , Tamara Obee, Director, Human Resources re: Human Resour...
discipline. The Township of Oro-Medonte shall, however, discipline up to and including
termination anyone who brings a false and malicious complaint made in bad faith.
COMPLAINTS INVOLVING A MEMBER(S) OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM OR A
MEMBER(S) OF COUNCIL
If the alleged harasser is the employer or supervisor of the employee, the employee may
report the incident of workplace harassment directly to Human Resources.
Human Resources, in consultation with the Chief Administrative Officer, may refer the
investigation into allegations of harassment made by or against a Senior Management Team
member, or made by or against a Member of Council, to an external and independent fact-
finder. The findings shall be submitted to the Chief Administrative Officer who will submit the
findings to Council and the Senior Management Team, as appropriate, in Closed Session in
accordance with the Township's Procedural By-law.
Should the allegations be made against the Chief Administrative Officer, Human Resources
shall refer the allegation to an external and independent fact-finder with findings submitted to
Council in Closed Session in accordance with the Township's Procedural By-Law. Should
the allegations be made against Human Resources, the Chief Administrative Officer shall
refer the allegation to an external and independent fact-finder with findings submitted to
Council in Closed Session in accordance with the Township's Procedural By-Law.
PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING AND INVESTIGATING WORKPLACE VIOLENCE:
Workplace Violence:
Employees have the right to refuse work if workplace violence is likely to endanger them. In
that instance, please immediately contact the Supervisor and/or Manager at which point
appropriate measures will be taken to provide protection and investigate the situation.
In cases of immediate danger, call the police immediately.
Affected Employees will be moved to a safe place as near as reasonably possible to their
normal work station and will need to be available for the purposes of investigating the
incident. In some circumstances, alternative work may be arranged during normal working
hours.
In appropriate circumstances, the Township may contact the police, or other emergency
responders as appropriate, to assist, intervene or investigate workplace violence. Some of
the measures and procedures for summoning immediate assistance include, but are not
necessarily limited to:
• Equipment to summon assistances such as fixed or personal alarms, locator or
tracking systems, phones, cell phones, etc.
• Emergency telephone numbers and/or email addresses.
• Emergency procedures as can be found in our emergency procedures and/or policies.
Provided the situation is dealt with quickly and the danger to workers is removed, the
necessity of work refusal may be alleviated.
July, 2023 Page 11 of 13
Page 68 of 201
11 .d) HR2023-01 , Tamara Obee, Director, Human Resources re: Human Resour...
Investigation Procedure:
Employees are required to report incidents of workplace violence or threat of workplace
violence to their Supervisor and/or Manager, or Human Resources. Human Resources, in
consultation with the Chief Administrative Officer, will commence an investigation as quickly
as possible and may choose to use either an internal or external investigator, depending on
the circumstances, including the nature of the incident. The investigator shall interview both
parties, and shall give the respondent an opportunity to respond to the allegations. The
investigator shall make a determination as to whether the allegations are substantiated or not
substantiated.
Once the investigation is complete, the investigator(s) will prepare a detailed report of the
findings to Human Resources. A summary of the investigation will be provided to the Joint
Health and Safety Committee, Health and Safety Representatives and the Ministry of Labour,
where required under the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
Corrective Action:
The Chief Administrative Officer will determine what action should be taken as a result of the
investigation.
If a finding of workplace violence is made, the Township of Oro-Medonte will implement
appropriate corrective measures.
If a complaint is made in good faith and without malice, regardless of the outcome of the
investigation, the Complainant will not be subject to any form of discipline. The Township of
Oro-Medonte shall, however, discipline up to and including termination anyone who brings a
false and malicious complaint made in bad faith.
PROCEDURES FOR ADDRESSING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE:
The Township has a duty to take every reasonable precaution in the circumstances to protect
a worker from domestic violence that would likely expose a worker to physical injury in the
workplace.
As such, an Employee who is experiencing domestic violence, or an employee who is aware
of a situation of domestic violence involving a coworker, with the potential to expose the
employee to physical injury in the workplace is encouraged to seek immediate assistance by
contacting Human Resources, so that the Township can take reasonable precautions and
preventative steps to protect the worker and co-workers in the workplace. This may include
some or all of the following:
• Creating a safety plan.
• Contacting the police.
• Establishing enhanced security measures such as a panic button, code words, and
door and access security measures.
• Screening calls and blocking certain email addresses.
July, 2023 Page 12 of 13

• Setting up priority parking or providing escorts to vehicles.
• Adjusting working hours and location so that they are not predictable.
• Facilitating access to counseling through the Employee Assistance Program or other
community programs.
The Township appreciates the sensitivity of these issues and will provide assistance to the
Employee as discreetly as possible while maintaining privacy.
CONFIDENTIALITY OF COMPLAINTS AND INVESTIGATIONS:

workplace or domestic violence complaints and will keep all complaints confidential, to the
extent that the Township is able to do so. Information will only be released as necessary to
investigate or to take corrective action with respect to the complaint or situation or if
otherwise required by law.
It is essential that the complainant, respondent, witnesses and anyone else involved in the
investigation of a complaint maintain confidentiality throughout the investigation and
afterwards.

Staff Report
Proud Heritage, Exciting Future
To: Council
From: Curtis Shelswell, Manager, Municipal Law Services
Meeting Date: August 16, 2023
Report No.: DS2023-070
Subject: Short Term Accommodation Update
Type: For Information Only
Motion No.:
Recommendation
It is recommended:
1. That Report No. DS2023-070 be received for information only.
Background
Over the last several years the Township has considered ideas and options to assist
with the growing concerns regarding Short-Term Accommodations (STA) within the
municipality. From seeking legal opinions through the Township's Solicitors, to
amending the Zoning By-law or retaining the services of Host Compliance (Granicus) to
monitor STA activity. Operators of STA's continue to operate in contravention of the
Township's Zoning By-law.
Initially, the Township adopted an Interim Control By-law (ICB) No. 2018-071 and then
retained Host Compliance (Granicus) to assist with the browsing of various platforms
and provided staff with rental information. With the information Host Compliance
provided, Municipal Law would send out a letter requesting that the owner cease such
non-permitted use. Compliance was gained in some areas but obviously not entirely.
Staff found during this process that owners would remove the listing from the platform
and either put it back up through another social feed or an association that was not
monitored by Host Compliance (Granicus). Broader monitoring services would have

Report No. DS2023-070 Page 1 of 7
Page 82 of 201
12.a) DS2023-070, Curtis Shelswell, Manager, Municipal Law Enforcement/C...
required additional fees to Granicus, so instead additional Staff time was dedicated to
searching additional platforms.
Staff and Council have considered licensing a few times over the past several years.
Several surrounding municipalities have gone down this route, but licensing would
require the Township to retain additional staff within administration, enforcement and
inspections (By-law, Building and Fire). Even with licensing, municipalities still struggle
with a cost-effective program. Council must consider staff's time when implementing a
fee structure, administration of the application(s), costing for inspections and then the
overall enforcement, both proactive and reactive. Further, fees must be substantiated;
significant fees will result in low enrollment into the program. For the Township, it is
Staff's opinion that licensing is currently not an option, since STA's are not a permitted
use within all zones save and except Village One (V1) and Residential Two (R2)
Exception 123 as per the Township's Zoning By-law.
Within Zoning By-law 97-95 Dwelling Unit is defined as:
"Means one or more rooms in a building, designed as, or intended as, or capable of
being used or occupied as a single independent housekeeping unit and containing
living, sleeping, sanitary and food preparation facilities or facilities for the installation of
kitchen equipment and has an independent entrance. For the purposes of this By-law,
a dwelling unit does not include any commercial accommodation or a recreational
trailer."

Analysis
As previously noted, Municipal Law Enforcement, Building and Fire Services are
enforcing STA's on a reactive basis only. For the municipality to investigate, we require
a written complaint. This can range from a formal letter, handwritten informal note or an
email. Complaints provided anonymously will not be addressed. Additionally, the
complainant may be asked to participate as a witness in the event the non-permitted
use continues, and a legal proceeding is initiated. Staff will do their best to obtain the
required information.
Dependant on the nature of the concern, Municipal Law, Building and Fire Services will
play a role in the investigation. From the use of the dwelling unit, to accessory buildings
being utilized for human habitation, staff will work together to ensure compliance. During
the inspections, staff are also looking for the following:
• Accessory buildings without the required permits.
• Construction and/or alterations without the required permits.
• New wiring or exposed wiring that the Electrical Safety Authority should be
reviewing.

Report No. DS2023-070 Page 3 of 7
Page 84 of 201
12.a) DS2023-070, Curtis Shelswell, Manager, Municipal Law Enforcement/C...
• Additional plumbing loading the septic system, potentially beyond the capacity
the septic system was designed for.
Municipal Law Staff will investigate the following:
• Non-permitted uses related to the Township's Zoning By-law
• Accessory buildings not meeting setbacks and/or exceeded lot coverage.
• All violations related to the Township's Regulatory By-laws
o Noise disruptions
o Open Air Burning
o Fireworks without a permit
o Parking violations
o Property Standards
Building Staff will investigate for the following against township records:
• Construction and/or alterations that would require a building permit.
• the number of bedrooms related to the approved sewage system; and
• Any signs of failure of the sewage system.
Building enforcement will be investigated and enforced based on procedures for
construction without a permit or failed sewage systems, as applicable.
Fire Services will be ensuring that:
• All occupants are protected with the proper placement of and in working order,
Carbon Monoxide and Smoke detectors. Fire services find that homeowners
often place the detector in the wrong location, which compromises its ability to
function properly.
As Staff work through concerns raised, it will be zero tolerance. All
nuisances/disturbance in contravention of the Township's Noise By-law will result in
charges. As for the use, staff will provide a timeline to comply. Failure to comply with
such timeline prescribed will result in charges under the applicable legislation. Staff
have two options for contravening the Zoning By-law related to charges. An owner could
be charged under the Zoning By-law section 1.3 for the non-permitted use.
Section 1.3 of the Township's Zoning By-law states,
"No land, building or structure shall be used and no building or structure shall be
erected or altered after the passage of this By-law except in conformity and
compliance with the provisions of this By-law."

Page 85 of 201
12.a) DS2023-070, Curtis Shelswell, Manager, Municipal Law Enforcement/C...
Another option is to seek an injunction against the owner(s) through Section 440 of the
Municipal Act. Section 440 states;
"if any by-law of municipality or by-law of a local board of a municipality under
this or any other Act is contravened, in addition to any other remedy and to any
penalty imposed by the by-law, the contravention may be restrained by
application at the instance of a taxpayer or the municipality or local board."
Under the Planning Act, Section 67 sets out the remedies/penalties for a contravention:
"67 (1) Every person who contravenes section 41, section 46, subsection 49 (4) or
section 52 or who contravenes a by-law passed under section 34 or 38 or an
order made under section 47 and, if the person is a corporation, every director or
officer of the corporation who knowingly concurs in the contravention, is guilty of
an offence and on conviction is liable,
(a) on a first conviction to a fine of not more than $25,000; and
(b) on a subsequent conviction to a fine of not more than $10,000 for each day or
part thereof upon which the contravention has continued after the day on which
the person was first convicted. 1994, c. 2, s. 48.
(2) Where a corporation is convicted under subsection (1), the maximum penalty
that may be imposed is,
(a) on a first conviction a fine of not more than $50,000; and
(b) on a subsequent conviction a fine of not more than $25,000 for each day or
part thereof upon which the contravention has continued after the day on which
the corporation was first convicted, and not as provided in subsection (1).
Order of prohibition
(3) Where a conviction is entered under subsection (1), in addition to any other
remedy or any penalty provided by law, the court in which the conviction has
been entered, and any court of competent jurisdiction thereafter, may make an
order prohibiting the continuation or repetition of the offence by the person
convicted. R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13, s. 67 (2, 3)."
Section 8 (1) of the Ontario Building Code states the following:
"No person shall construct or demolish a building or cause a building to be
constructed or demolished unless a permit has been issued therefor by the chief
building official."

There will be a cost associated with seeking an injunction through Superior Court. Staff
have initiated this process; currently, it is still too early to provide an accurate costing for
such process.
Further, there could also be the potential need for additional staffing resources to keep
up with enforcement.

Conclusion
The Township collectively over the years has considered the various directions it may
take with this growing issue. From the legal opinions, to the ICBL, to licensing, it has
been a long road for the residents who have experienced it first-hand. The annoyance
of vehicles coming and going at all times, the disruptions of late-night parties,
trespassing, and the overall uncomfortable feeling of another new neighbor every
weekend. The Township hopes to bring awareness and clarity to all sides with this
update.

For the operators, currently we have 28 addresses (as of July 28, 2023) that are under
investigation and/or being prosecuted as indicated within the report. Complaints
continue to come in and staff will act upon the concerns. As previously noted, zero
tolerance will be given to owner(s) that fail to comply with compliance.
For the residents, staff collectively will work to instill confidence in residents. As
mentioned, Staff are collectively heading in the right direction with this issue and will
continue to work towards gaining compliance. For concerns related to a non-permitted
use, building/alterations without a permit, septic concerns and/or fire concerns related to
an STA, a complainant should send an email to staconcerns(a)-oro-medonte.ca. If
someone has a concern associated with noise/disruptions after 11:00 pm, they should
call Municipal Law (705) 487-2171 and follow the automated prompts.

year of the previous year with the Board's approval of budget assumptions. This sets a clear
direction for budget targets, enables staff to work with municipal funding partners to secure
preliminary budget approvals, and allows staff to build the 2024 budget while providing for
Board of Directors' influence on the general direction of the budget, thereby strengthening the
advocacy role of Board members at municipal budget presentations. He noted the principles
guiding the recommendations include inflation and cost-of-living allowance in line with local
comparators, adjusting for municipal funding challenges, use municipal targets to guide budget
development where feasible, recommended investment in the Conservation Authority's
Strategic Plan Transformation 2022-2024 up to 1.5% increase, and long term funding for asset
management to be addressed in a financial strategy being tabled in the fall with a small
placeholder to be included in the 2024 budget. GM Critch advised that changes to funding
guidelines in Bill 229 will replace General Levy/Special Capital/Special Operating with:
• Category 1 (Mandatory: Core & Lake Simcoe Protection Plan), using CVA apportionment;
• Category 2 (requested by municipality), MOU required; and
• Category 3 (requested by Authority), MOU required.
Governance rules will require multiple budget votes, including new areas to vote on Lake
Simcoe Protection Plan budget, and new rules on what is core will require budget changes to
correct funding irregularities, resulting in increases for some funders and decreases for others.
The summary of budget recommendations for Board of Directors' approval included:
1. Inflation: up to 2.00%, only for applicable expenditures (2023: 4.0%);
2. Cost of Living Allowance: up to 2.00% (2023: 2.00%) plus applicable step increases;
3. Infrastructure levy for Asset Management: up to 0.50% (2023: 0.50% capital levy only);
4. Investment in Strategic Priorities: 1.50% (2023: 0.00%);
5. No new FTEs in 2024, unless fully funded from grants and/or fees, and salary review to be
covered within funding envelopes; and
6. Mandatory expenditures: Up to 2.00% (2023 - Levy: 1.83%).
Once approval of the budget assumptions, staff will develop the 2024 budget and continue to
look for efficiencies and cost savings. To learn more or to view this presentation, please click

b) The Conservation Authority's Role in Stormwater Management
General Manager, Integrated Watershed Management, Don Goodyear, and General Manager,
Development, Engineering and Restoration, Glenn MacMillan, provided an overview of the
Conservation Authority's role in Stormwater Management, noting that stormwater is defined as
excess or runoff water generated when it rains. Often seen as a waste product, stormwater
should be viewed as a resource to manage. The Conservation Authority has a team of
professionals (engineers, scientists, hydrologists, to name a few), who actively collaborate to
manage stormwater runoff in the Lake Simcoe watershed through policy and research,
exploring innovative technologies, and through urban restoration projects. Managing
stormwater runoff is essential in protecting against flooding, and understanding it is a key
component in supporting municipal partners to assess flood risk. It is also worth noting there's
a difference between riverine flooding and urban flooding, and the drivers and opportunities
for remediation and risk may differ.
As stormwater travels across the landscape, making its way to streams and rivers, and,
ultimately Lake Simcoe, it picks up contaminants along the way; such as, sediments,
phosphorus, other nutrients, chemicals, oils, greases, etc. Urban stormwater runoff represents
an estimated 28% of the phosphorus entering Lake Simcoe, and accordingly managing it is an
area of focus for phosphorus load reduction and water quality maintenance in the lake. All
urban areas across the watershed contribute to the stormwater phosphorus load.
Pre the 1980s, in historical urban areas, stormwater was generally piped to watercourses
without quantity or quality controls. From the 1980s to approximately 2010, stormwater
management typically relied on stormwater ponds for quantity and quality control to meet
design objectives such as peak flow reduction, total suspended solids, and associated
phosphorus removal.
The Lake Simcoe Protection Plan developed by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation
and Parks and released in 2008 introduced water quality policies that encourage a treatment
train approach for stormwater management.This approach promotes Low Impact
Development features that mimic the natural hydrologic cycle, moving away from reliance on

stormwater management ponds alone. Since 2010, there has been an evolution from ponds to
a treatment-train approach to manage stormwater.

environmentally sustainable development practices for stormwater management for almost
two decades. To learn more, please click this link to view the presentation: Stormwater

Greetings Gayle Jackson,
Thank you for submitting your proposal for the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP)
detachment board framework. Your patience has been greatly appreciated while all
proposals went through a thorough review process.
At this time, I am pleased to confirm that the Orillia OPP detachment board
proposal has been approved by the Solicitor General to the next step in finalizing
the board compositions, which is posting the composition on the Ontario
Regulatory Registry (ORR). The ministry is currently working on drafting the regulation,
which is expected to be available on the Ontario Regulatory Registry (ORR) for public
comment in the summer or fall. Posting of the regulation is one of the last steps before
the regulation can be finalized in advance of bringing the Community Safety and Policing
Act, 2019 (CSPA) into force in early 2024.
The following board composition(s) have been approved for posting.
Board Communities Council Community Provincial Total
Serviced Seats Representative Appointment Seat(s)
Seats Seat(s)

Medonte Township,
Ramara Township,
Severn Township
On behalf of the Ministry of the Solicitor General, I would like to express my appreciation
to all the communities involved in the proposal development process. I acknowledge and
value the significant efforts undertaken to create a proposal for a detachment board that
addresses the unique needs of each community that receives OPP policing services in
your detachment. As the proposal lead, I kindly request that you disseminate this
correspondence to all communities serviced by the proposed detachment board.

15.e) Correspondence to City of Orillia from Ministry of the Solicitor G...
The ministry is planning to share more guidance as soon as possible on next steps, with
the understanding that municipalities and First Nations require time to plan for the
implementation of OPP detachment boards before the CSPA comes into force.
If you have any questions or concerns in the meantime, please contact Devendra
Sukhdeo, Senior Policy Advisor, Public Safety and Policing Policy Unit (PSPPU),
Strategic Policy Division, at Devendra.Sukhdeo(a)ontario.ca.

RE: Drainage Issue at 5 & 7 McLean Crescent Oro-Medonte JUL 0 5 ORO-MEDODear Mayor Greenlaw and Councillors: TOWNSH
My wife and I would like to commence the process to have the Township of Oro-
Medonte secure a registered drainage easement for maintenance purposes to alleviate what
is becoming a very serious issue for us and our neighbour.
Watershed from the McLean Reserve on Eight Mile Point drains, via a Township ditch,
from the centre area south along the west side of McLean Crescent to a Township metal culvert
opposite 5 McLean Crescent and then between #5 and 47 McLean Crescent into Lake Simcoe.
The problem is that just before the water drains into Lake Simcoe there is approximately
a 20 foot area which we have attempted over the years to keep open to control the flow with
cement blocks. This year the problem has become extremely worse with the heavy rains causing
the blocks to cave in, causing flooding to both properties. Attempts to rectify this with 4 x 4
blocks of wood, as the photos enclosed illustrate, have been unsuccessful, as the heavy rain
water washes them away.
It appears that the Township is aware of this problem in the Eight Mile Point area, as at
other properties at # 17, 147 and 208 Eight Mile Point Road, the Township has constructed at
it's cost culvert facilities to Lake Simcoe to solve Township drainage problems.
There is an existing drainage ditch easement registered on both properties when the initial
development occurred in the 1950's, but well before the Township difficulties were encountered.

16.b) Correspondence from Jane Dixon-Barlow and Robert
Barlow re. Drain...
If there is any format for the Township easement or a Consent form for one, we would
appreciate receiving copies and we feel confident the owners of Lot 7 are similarly concerned
and will agree.
We would be happy to attend any deputation, have you attend at the property, or
provide any further information or documentation the Township may require, please advise. We
are hopeful an expedited resolution will occur before the fall rains.
Yours truly

Good Afternoon. I hope this email finds you well.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month, we are approaching Townships to
request a Flag Raising to bring awareness to the children in cancer treatment.
We are hoping your township will join us in raising awareness that childhood cancer is
impacting our communities. More lives are lost to childhood cancer than any other
disease.
Candlelighters is an organization that supports families in their communities transverse
their childhood cancer journey.
We are approaching townships to request their councils proclaim September as
Childhood Cancer Awareness month, to bring awareness to, and to support the many
little heroes that are fighting, have fought or have passed far too early due to this
disease.
We have many towns that currently invite us to raise a flag during the month of
September and many also prepare a proclamation declaring September Childhood
Cancer Awareness month in their council meetings.
We hope that we can count on your support.
