files were handled by the Department (versus 49- 2013 and 31- 2012). Officers also continue to clear
outstanding files and prosecutions from previous occurrences.
All of these calls and files required an investigation, action or inspection as a result of the complaint
being filed or the proactive measures being taken. The type of complaints ranged from Property
Standards, parking, noise, animal control, business licensing (property standards inspection), and
highway obstruction. Attached is an itemized report off all complaints received this past month, now
sorted by occurrence type, including date of complaint and action taken during the investigation.
The Department focused efforts to complete the compliance “list” for Sewer & Water connections that
have been task to the department to enforce connection to Municipal Services. Forty-one “Director’s
Orders” were issued, with December 15th compliance dates and were accompanied by direct phone
contact (where possible). Many of the files have moved forward and have either completed hook-ups
or removed the structures. Files that remain without compliance or alternate agreements at Dec. 15 th,
2014, are now being processed for court prosecutions.
2. Property Standards Report:
During the month of January 2015, the Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing Department
actioned two (2) Property Standards Complaints (versus 14-2013, 14-2012).
Form: WB-SR2010
2
The term “Property Standards”, for the purposes of this section, will include investigations and actions
initiated under the following by-laws:
1. The “Property Standards” By-law (#99-75)
2. The “Clean Yards” By-law (#2009-50)
3. The “Highway Obstruct” By-law (#93-34)
4. The “Littering” By-law (#82-13)
The combined objectives of these by-laws are to ensure the community’s character and appearance
can be maintained in a reasonable state of good order. The overall effect is to maintain property in a
condition that neither visually offends, nor creates real or perceived health or nuisance hazards.
Since 2010, the Department has been increasing its compliance activities towards “Property
Standards” with a more proactive (versus reactive) approach being taken. This has largely been
driven by a conscious shift in residents “beautification” and “greener environment” values being
expressed directly to the department and members of Council.
(Y.T.D)
3. Municipal Law Enforcement (Parking Enforcement):
During the month of January 2015, the Municipal Law Enforcement Department issued three (3)
parking infraction “notices of violations” of the Town of Wasaga Beach Parking Control By-Law No.
2005-17 (Versus 9 -2013 and 38-2012).

2015 Court Report Summary
One of the functions of the Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing Department is to investigate
possible violations of both municipal and provincial laws (ie. Municipal By-laws, Building
Code/Property Standards, Planning Act/Zoning) and then to obtain compliance when and where
required. In some situations, the circumstances require that offenders are summoned to Provincial
Court to obtain compliance or to be held accountable after the fact.
The purposes of requiring a court appearance can be many - it may be to obtain a fine or to seek
additional remedies including restitution or corrective Orders. Additionally, the court may be
requested to issue an Order to prohibit repetition or continuance of an offence. The goal of
sentencing is to provide a fair and balanced response to inappropriate behaviour that will serve as a
deterrent to a specific offender (referred to as “Specific” deterrence).
4
It may also be intended to send a message to the greater population who might choose to commit a
similar violation as to what they might expect if they behave similarly (referred to as a “General”
deterrent sentence). The latter form of sentencing is usually imposed to address a “problem” issue in
the community.
On December, 2014 the Department attended Provincial Court where 17 matters were before the
court for By-Law infractions. Two (2) matters were resolved with guilty pleas, including a business
operating without a license and a Zoning matter (fencing non-compliance); these offenders received
fines for their matters. Three matters were withdrawn (one for error on corporate name [MTO Error]
and two additional charges to corporations where substantial compliance had been achieved).
Additionally, a trial was held on four (4) business licensing matters (all related); convictions resulted
on all counts with fines imposed. The remaining matters, all business licensing charges, were
remanded to future Provincial Court dates set for Wasaga Beach Municipal Enforcement matters. The
next court appearance is February 17, 2015 in Wasaga Beach.

6. Notes:
The Department has lost a longstanding member of the department’s animal control program; Mr.
Everett Pilkey, who passed away suddenly on December 30, 2014. He happily served as the
Municipality’s Animal Control Officer for an estimated 30 years. His unexpected passing has touched
us all but we have nothing but fond memories for a man who did so much for the Town and his
community; he will be missed.
The department will be bringing a Report forward to Committee for direction concerning the future of
Animal Control Services for Wasaga Beach.
5
Future Activities:
 Continue work on T.A.C. project.
 Continue to enforce sign by-law along highways.
 Continue efforts on writing or amending new by-laws including Noise and a New Sign By-Law.
 Maintaining efforts to monitor and clean-up areas with Graffiti.
 Departmental operations review to ensure Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing
continues to be self-sustaining.

SUBJECT:
Animal Control- Services Delivery Review
DATE:
February 12, 2015
RECOMMENDATION
THAT the Community Services Committee recommends to Council that Animal Control Services be
now provided by a new entry level Municipal Law Enforcement Officer position with assigned annual
contract duties in combination with a contracted after-hours service agreement.
BACKGROUND
For the last 30 years approximately, the Town of Wasaga Beach has provided Animal Control
Services, including dead animal pick-ups, to its residents/visitors through an external contract, with
an individual service provider. Unfortunately, this person died unexpectedly in December 2014 ending
their service to the Town. The purpose of this report is to seek direction in order to re-establish longterm animal control services. Presently, staff is providing coverage on an emergency basis.
All municipalities are to provide animal control services when they have passed an Animal Control
By-Law. Such By-L          

include Animal Control duties with regular Municipal Law Enforcement Officers position duties or may
have a separated dedicated Animal Control Officer position(s). Additionally, some municipalities
utilize a combination of in-house services (I.e. Animal Control or Municipal Law Enforcement Officers)
with external providers (I.e. Independent pound facilities), while others completely rely exclusively on
external providers for all aspects of Animal Control, including licensing, enforcement and municipal
pound services.

recommended Animal Control services be brought in house (and combining with other resources),
Council decided at that time, to renew the contract, but reduced its term from 5 years to 2 years for
renewals.

The Option that provides the most effective and efficient use of both fiscal and manpower resources
is OPTION 4. This option would see the currently budgeted monies for the MLEO Summer Supervisor
position (40-week contract) combined with the Animal Control contract monies; together they would
fully base fund a new entry-level MLEO position.
This option would require additional support of $7,500 annually, which is beyond current funding to
provide certification training and funding for up to 28 call-outs per year.
On average, the municipality impounds one dog per week, so being able to utilize these dollars to be
redirected to core services will enhance the delivery of municipal compliance services in both quantity
and quality.
This position would provide the required animal control pick-up services and additional animal control
enforcement services to supplement current department levels. The position would also assist to freeup the more senior officers to permit them to increase compliance actions for Property Standards and
Zoning related complaint files, especially in the off-season. It would also assist in additional service
coverage on weekends or night shifts that cannot presently be routinely accomplished.
Additionally, a new position can be educated and trained over time, to provide better and more
consistent service level to the customer, than the  annual contract positions. It also allows
for advancement opportunities to the more senior positions, should such opportunities arise in the
future.
Note: Only Option 1 provides for dead animal pick-up (for domestic and wildlife) by an outside service
provider. The suggested Option 4 provides for dead pick-up for only domestic animals (not wildlife).
Alternative arrangements, outside of municipal animal control services, will need to be determined.

STAFF REPORT
TO:
Committee of the Whole
FROM:
SUBJECT: Animal Control- Service Delivery Review
DATE:
February 21, 2012
RECOMMENDATION
THAT the Committee of the Whole does recommend to Council that the Municipal Law
Enforcement Report.
BACKGROUND
The Town of Wasaga Beach currently provides Animal Control services through a third-party
agreement. The current five (5) year agreement is set to expire April 30th of this year. Staff have
taken the opportunity to review this service delivery method, which has served the Town since
1993.
In addition, the 2012 operating budget had approved a two (2) percent increase for the Animal
Control third-party agreement, however, the current provider has indicated through an RFP
response, that a 25% ($9,000) per year increase would be sought. Such an increase has not been
budgeted for and prompted the department to consider alternative delivery methods for animal
control services.
Current Department Profile
The Municipal Law Enforcement Department, in addition to the Senior Officer, has two (2)
Full-time Municipal Law Enforcement Officers/ Property Standards Officers, a By-law
Administrative Assistant/Licensing Coordinator, and ten seasonal (May-Aug) positions (8
officers and 2 administrative assistants). One of the summer positions has evolved into a 10
month contract to assist in meeting workload demands.
This department is becoming more progressive and proactive in meeting the changing
needs of the community. The proposed incorporation of the Animal Control services is seen as a
practical and economic way of increased manpower efficiencies, providing additional
enforcement capabilities and potentially increasing Animal Control Licensing and fine
revenues.

Existing Service Levels
The following are excerpts from the current third-party agreement which have remained
unchanged since 1993.

DISCUSSION
In reviewing the delivery of animal control services, staff considered the following options:
OPTION 1: CONTINUE WITH CURRENT PROVIDER
To continue the present model of Animal Control Service delivery with the current service
provider. This will require entering into a new services contract on or before MAY 01, 2012.
The current provider has indicated in an RFP response (November 21, 2011) that they are
seeking a 25% ($9,000) increase in any new contract, over the current payment schedule.
Financial Implications: The requested $9,000 increase was not budgeted for, therefore a funding
shortfall would be created by implementing this option.
OPTION 2: RFP FOR A MORE ECONOMICAL PROVIDER
To continue wit
attempt to solicit a more economical bid for the service. This would be done through another
RFP process.
The Town last released an RFP request for an Animal Control Service Provider in October 2011
(closed on November 21, 2011). Two bids were received; they were:
1. $45,000/yr
2. $68,326.25/yr
This process may attract additional bids which may or may not be more economical.
The response time for such as RFP would have to be fairly short since the current contract
expires April 30, 2012.

OPTION 3: MOVE ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES IN-HOUSE
The Municipal Law Enforcement Department could convert a seasonal (10 month) contract
position into a full-time compliment position and have this position deliver this service. The
current approved budget for both the Animal Control Services contract and the 10 month
seasonal contract combined is sufficient to base-fund and equip an in-house officer. Additional
overtime funds (max $3750) would be required to support an Animal Control/Municipal Law
Enforcement Department Officer at an entry level salary. However, it is anticipated that
additional new revenue would be generated by the position thru increased dog-tag licensing
compliance and collection of release fees.
This proposal would provide a more efficient and effective utilization of dollars expended while
significantly increasing available enforcement manpower in the Animal Control field as well as
general Municipal Law Enforcement activities.

At present, the Animal Control Officer is required to provide a daily
patrol (3hrs) through the main travel arteries where they recover
dead animals either found or reported, in advance or, or capture dogs

The Animal Control Officer is called by the Municipal Law
Enforcement Department (or our after hours answering service)
when a dog is reported to be running at large, and is expected to
respond during his patrol hours, to try to capture the dog.
The Animal Control Officer is called afterhours and on weekends to
pick-up dogs that were at large but have been captured by the public

Proposed Service Model
A Municipal Law Enforcement Officer/Animal Control Officer dressed

sufficient vehicles to dedicate one as an Animal Control vehicle (one
vehicle is out of service for winter). An additional $1000 for fuel
would be required.
The purchase of leash/leads, 2 catch-poles and gloves = $400, a cap for
one vehicle would be required= $1250. Training would be handled
through the existing training budget, depending on the Officers existing

it is a combination of learned-handling techniques and a familiar
confidence around dogs.

Officers would return dogs and collect the release fee ($95) which is
currently not collected. Records would be maintained and other
enforcement actions (tickets, Summons to Court) would be utilized for
repetitive non-compliance.

The Municipal Law Enforcement Department would not assume any
private land services. Currently, many alternative private businesses
provide this service. Local licensed trappers can continue to provide
theses services to our Public Works Department (including the current
services provider if they so chose).
Unlike the current situation, a full range of compliance and
enforcement services would be available to monitor and control
problem persons, recover release fees, increase licensing compliance
(and revenue) and be able to investigate and resolve Animal Control
complaints.
Municipal Enforcement Department would collect dogs & cats.
Public Works would be requested to assist with wildlife disposal.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The Municipal Law Enforcement Department believes that the best use of both financial and
manpower resources are essential to be a productive and efficient department. While the
existing Animal Control model has served the Town well in the past, current fiscal and
customer-service realities suggest that Option 3 would best meet our current/future service
capabilities.

FROM:
SUBJECT: Compliance Direction- Special Vehicles
DATE:
February 12, 2015
RECOMMENDATION
THAT the Community Services Committee recommends to Council that 1) the Municipal Law
Enforcement and Licensing Department report back to the Committee on initiating a public education
program for Zoning compliance, and outline a more proactive approach and 2) the Municipal Law
Enforcement and Licensing Department and the Planning/Zoning Department report back to
Committee on options for Special Vehicle storage on Residential properties.
BACKGROUND
The Town of Wasaga Beach Comprehensive Zoning By-Law No. 2003-60 is administered by the
Planning Department Zoning Administrator and any interpretations, amendments or variance
processes go to the Planning/Zoning Department for review.
The Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing Department is charged with providing compliance
services in regards to any non-compliant activities brought to the Department’s attention either
directly from the public or from the Zoning Administrator. Generally, the long established practice for
zoning violations is to investigate on a “complaint-only” basis (reactive enforcement vs. proactive).
Common zoning investigations, from complaints, involve the storage of “Special Vehicles” on a
residential property. These generally include camping trailers or boats that exceed 7m in length, or
motorhomes and auto-trailers. There is an exemption to store such vehicles that is incorporated in the
current by-law. It permits the parking or storage of one such vehicle on a residential property, in the
front or exterior side yard, only five (5) days per month for all residential-zoned properties (except
those used for apartment dwelling purposes) on a town wide basis. The by-law does not take into
account any other factors such as lot size/depth or setbacks from street side property lines or where
landscaping or structural features make visibility from the street difficult or impossible.
Recently, the department has received complaints concerning several properties that have Special
Vehicles and in one case, several such vehicles. The department will be responding to these
locations to obtain compliance with the existing Zoning By-Law provisions but is seeking direction
from Council going forward, on reviewing the present compliance model and/or directing the
Planning/Zoning Department to review the present provisions for a more “equitable” set of rules that
take into account many common-sense factors.
Form: WB-SR2010
2
DISCUSSION
When a by-law is passed by Council and it provides for what is or is not acceptable conduct, it is the
role of the Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing Department to ensure compliance with those
rules in a fair and un-biased manner. This does not mean the department must “seek-out” every
infraction of every by-law but it does mean the approach must be consistent. It also means that where
a complaint is received, compliance must be accomplished in keeping with Council’s By-Law.
The content and/or text of the rules or the original purpose of such provisions of a by-law are always
a factor for discussion when compliance activities are initiated. It is part of the Municipal Law
Enforcement Officers role to assist residents in understanding the rules and why they were put in
place and to show they are being fair in a consistent manner. This approach imparts knowledge and
assists in future compliance by the resident.
OPTIONS
OPTION 1:
The Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing Department continue to “react” to zoning
complaints concerning “Special Vehicles” and apply the rules in a fair and consistent
manner.
OPTION 2:
The Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing Department report back on a more
proactive approach to enforcement, with a phased-in compliance model that
incorporates public education as a first step.
OPTION 3:
The Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing Department and the Planning/Zoning
Department report back to Committee with a review of the “common” Zoning complaint
issues with recommendations as to any changes required to update the Zoning By-Law
and the recommended enforcement approach concerning any proposed changes.

SUBJECT: Parking Rate Strategy Review
DATE:
February 12, 2015
RECOMMENDATION
Enforcement and Licensing Department report back to Committee on new parking strategies for both
Parking Lot and On-Street parking area that promotes tourism utilization.
BACKGROUND
Parking revenue is the core funding for most of the services provided by the Municipal Law
Enforcement and Licensing Department and continues to present challenges in achieving revenue
objectives.
Currently, the department’s budget has begun to be partially funded, through necessity, by the
municipal tax-base. Should the upcoming summer be very busy, any resulting surplus revenue would
be held in reserve, as has been past practice.
The base rates have been adjusted (upwards) twice in the last 5 years (with some minor variances),
to continue to predict (and achieve) future revenue targets based on previous years performances.
This past practice would suggest we should, again, be looking at raising the rates for the upcoming
season.
The purpose of this report is to seek direction; do we make changes or let the upcoming season play
out as is?
DISCUSSION
Residents currently purchase a $33.90 Parking Pass that enables them to park in any municipal lot
(not on-street). In 2014, approximately 780 ($24K) such passes were purchased.
Tourists/visitors fill the majority of available parking spots when they come to Wasaga Beach and
generate most revenue. “What” draws people to Wasaga Beach can be a simple or complex answer
depending on who is asked. The “parking department” reality is that “supply” of parking spaces has
exceeded the “demand” for the last few summer seasons. This usually means that most (not all) will
choose the best value, which is generally the private lots, when demand is low. The opposite is also
true; when our municipal lots are full on busy days, the private lots charge a premium.
Form: WB-SR2010
2
There are several staff ideas that are currently under review to “add value” to the tourists’ holiday and
to attract and hold visitors perhaps a day or two longer. Staff is also exploring mobile phone payment
“apps” that has enormous variability and flexibility to add value (and convenience) to visitor
experience. The difficulty is projecting its efforts on future revenues. Do we want to try; adverse
revenues could be the result?

SUBJECT: Taxi Industry Review- Moratorium
DATE:
February 12, 2015
RECOMMENDATION
THAT the Community Services Committee recommends to Council that a by-law to impose a
moratorium on issuing any additional Taxicab company licences, except to the holders of record of
2014 licences and only to the same number per/company, be approved, until such time as a proper
review can be brought forward and new recommendations be approved; and that a Taxi Review
Committee be formed to review the Taxi Industry and report back to Committee.
BACKGROUND
In early 2012, Council approved a one (1) year moratorium for Taxi licensing at the request of the
Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing Department (see report attached). The request was based
upon the Departments recognition that there may be problems potentially existing with the current bylaw and was wished to address the issue proactively. At that time, there wasn’t any request by
Council or the industry for a review, nor were there any directly related complaints to prompt a review.
Unfortunately, the Department resources were tasked with other higher priorities and even after an
additional three (3) month extension, a comprehensive review was not completed. This original
moratorium expired June 30, 2013.
In the summer of 2014, a new taxi business, familiar with the state of the current taxi by-law and
aware that the review was not completed, decided to proceed with entering the taxi business market.
In six months, this business notified us they were suspending their business activities.
We have recently received numerous “operational” complaints concerning specific companies as well
as the services in general. This has prompted us to revisit the current model.
DISCUSSION
The situation/issues described in the 2012 report (attached) remain almost unchanged. However,
there is a new issue in the taxi industry in many North American municipalities called “Uber”, and
most recently “Uber-Pool”. These are phone “Apps” that flout “taxi” safeguards and their impacts
should be reviewed along with the current taxi model.
A comprehensive review should engage both the users and the industry, so public and stakeholder
meetings are suggested. Many municipalities form ad-hoc review committees, Chaired by the
municipality, that contain all stakeholders, including taxi industry, public, Council, businesses, police
and others.
Form: WB-SR2010
2
It is recommended that a moratorium be imposed until a review is accomplished. It is also
recommended that a Taxi Review Committee (or working group) be created to review and report back
to Committee.

FROM:
SUBJECT: Extension of the Taxi/Limousine Licensing Moratorium to June 30th, 2013
DATE:
March 21, 2013
RECOMMENDATION
THAT the General Government Committee does recommend to Council that it extend the
Taxi/Limousine Licensing Moratorium approved at its March 13, 2012 sitting of Council, until
June 30, 2013.
BACKGROUND
On February 21, 2012, the Senior Municipal Law Enforcement Officer brought forward a report
to the Committee of the Whole that recommended Council impose Option 3 of that report;
“Impose 1 year Moratorium Period-with new “Provisional” Licence Issuance to maximum
25% of existing levels (3 Taxi Vehicles or 1 Limo); without annual tenure or right of
renewal. Only one Licence, for each style.” This report was subsequently adopted at the
March 13, 2013 sitting of Council.
During 2012, the Town’s Accessibility Committee was required to make a determination of the
proportion of on-demand accessible taxicabs required in the community, in accordance with
Ontario Regulation 191/11 Integrated Accessibility Standard under the Accessibility for
Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005. This decision was essential to the discussions with the
existing owners and the public at large to properly complete the review and make
recommendations. The Committee did meet on September 27, 2012 and formulated a
recommendation that will now be incorporated into this overall licensing review.
The Municipal Law Enforcement & Licensing Department has, since September 27, 2012,
engaged in “informal” discussions with the current licence holders towards developing the
“formal” process that will be used for meeting with the owners and the public. Unfortunately, it
has not been able to achieve those formal meetings as yet and needs a short additional extension
to accomplish this review.
No additional (new) Taxi/Limousine Licenses have been issued since the March 13, 2012
Moratorium was approved.
Form: WB-SR2010
2
DISCUSSION
It is the plan of the Municipal Law Enforcement & Licensing Department to engage the current
owners in a formal review in April, follow by a Public meeting in early May (with a comment
period). A report would follow to this Committee in June that would set forth any
recommendations that result from this exercise.
Extending the Moratorium would continue protection for the existing businesses until the
Committee has reviewed the report.

DATE:
February 12, 2015
RECOMMENDATION
Enforcement and Licensing Department and the Economic Development Department report back to
Committee on the current and future needs toward properly marketing the Town of Wasaga Beach.
BACKGROUND
The Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing Department recently wanted to upgrade Taxi/Tow
Truck Licence Plates to stick-on decals which are cheaper, simpler to manage and do not require
holes be drilled into the vehicle body.
The department brought forward a sample decal (see attached) utilizing an approved “logo” that
appears on the Town’s webpage. The logo incorporates “waves and a sun” and appears modern and
crisp. Permission is being sought to utilize this to promote the Town’s image better.
The department also brought forward an in-house designed, complimentary Parking Pass being
developed for public relations and to address the occasional complaint from a visitor with an
unpleasant experience. Again, we have to now seek Council approval to use this same “wave and
sun” logo.
We are asking that a “branding” review with an approved set of standards be considered and that the
appropriate department report back to Committee.

SUBJECT: Beachfront/Beach 2 Area- Mobile Vendors/Service Providers
DATE:
February 12, 2015
RECOMMENDATION
Enforcement and Licensing Department, in conjunction with the Economic Development Department,
report back to Committee on options to permit mobile vendors/services providers within the main
beach front and the Beach 2 Municipal Picnic Area (M.P.A) areas, to enhance tourist experiences.
BACKGROUND
The past five (5) years have seen a steady decline in business activity along the main beachfront
areas. It has also seen a significant decline in the tourist traffic. It is unknown if the decline in
businesses resulted in less tourist traffic or the reciprocal is true; perhaps other factors (weather,
economy, etc.) are the real cause.
The beachfront is now out of receivership and has had 1 ½ seasons to begin renewing the vacant
businesses that now almost outnumber the occupied frontage. There are not currently any
guarantees that all (or most) will be occupied for the upcoming season. It may, therefore, be a
prudent time to review additional options for “temporary” or mobile business being permitted (with
reasonable restrictions). There would provide additional “food and shopping” experiences to beach
visitors and residents, that are currently non-existent and are actually prohibited currently by
existing restrictive by-laws that were enacted in the “boom” era.
To make these types of businesses possible in the 2015 season, the approvals must be timely, in
order to properly advertise and solicit business in southern Ontario media.

SUBJECT: M.P.A Road Closure- Vendor Proposal
DATE:
February 12, 2015
RECOMMENDATION
Enforcement and Licensing Department report back to Committee with options to establish a Retail
Vendor location(s) in the M.P.A (Municipal Picnic Area) and to convert the 3 rd Street access into a
bike-trail only.
BACKGROUND
In 2014 the Town of Wasaga Beach took back the operations of the former Provincial Park Area of
Beach 2, between 3rd Street and 6th Street. This included moving the Provincial Park entrance to a
new entrance off of 6th Street.
Last season the Municipal Law Enforcement and Licensing Department, with the assistance of the
Public Works Department staff and equipment, redesigned the traffic flow to accommodate the new
Provincial Park configuration. The original “Parks” entrance off 3rd Street was maintained as a “oneway” entrance, which passed the original Park Office building (now abandoned) and flowed through
two connecting “loops”, finally exiting on the newly opened 5th Street-North stub. The 5th Street
entrance/exit was configured to permit 2-way traffic.
INITIAL IDEAS
The current shoreline bike trail utilizes the 3rd Street one-way entrance which is very narrow for
approximately the first 150meters, with hedges on both sides. The area is always in conflict with
bicycle traffic (2-way), causing riders to stop, wait or squeeze in a few openings in the hedge. Also, a
traffic gate (closed at night) interferes with bike traffic.
Staff has been exploring the concept of closing this “one-way” entrance to motor vehicle traffic and
redirecting all motor vehicle traffic through the 5 th Street entrance. The gate at 3rd Street would be
replaced with “bollards” at each end of 150m road section. These steps would create a safer and
more inviting bike path with a gate obstruction. The 3rd Street Lot could be developed as a “park &
ride” trail entrance point for bicyclers.
Thought is also being given to utilizing the abandoned gate house, which has all municipal services,
including hydro and a phone/date services. It could be leased to a Retail Vendor (I.e. Ice cream,
Souvenirs, beach stuff).

It would provide a stop for bikers and Beach 2 users. It would also provide a source of revenue for the
municipality. Staff would like to explore these options in more detail if Council approves of the
concept.

Gerry Reinders, Manager of Parks, Facilities & Recreation
SUBJECT:
Parks, Facilities and Recreation Report
DATE:
February 12, 2015
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT the Community Services Committee does hereby receive the Parks, Facilities and Recreation
monthly activity report as information.
BACKGROUND:
The Recreation Coordinator (acting) sent the first submission of the Spring and Summer brochure to
the printers January 19th. She was able to secure enough advertising to recoup approx. 90% of the
brochures cost. We are looking forward to the public’s response to the new “pull-out” listing our
special events for the spring/summer and also the change to the cover which will reflect more of a
magazine look. The first proof will be received back on February 2nd and a delivery date has been
set for February 26th
The Gymnastic Program started on January 8th with a total of 50 youth registered.
Our Karate Program started on January 7th with 30 students registered. For this session we were
only able to secure the services of one (1) black belt Instructor so the registration numbers had to be
capped to ensure the proper instructor/student ratio was met. The Coordinator will continue to
investigate all avenues to secure additional instructors for future program dates so that we can
increase the number of participants we can accept.
Spanish Lessons started January 15th with 15 adults registered. This is a beginner language class
and the feedback is that the registrants are really enjoying the program.
“Keep Calm, Its Neon!!” Youth Dance was Friday, January 9th. We have 149 youth come out and
enjoy a night of music and dancing. Our next dance, “Let it Snow” is February 6th.
Youth Transit Passes – At the RecPlex, we sold 23 youth passes for the month of January.
Two Georgian College Placement Students have joined the Youth Centre team. Miguel Pais is from
the Social Work program and is here on Mondays and Tuesdays. Kyla Murphy is from the Child and
Youth Work program and is here on Thursdays and Fridays
At the present time the Youth Coordinator is working in conjunction with the Youth Centre Assistants
to develop new Behaviour Modification system for Youth Centre which is to be rolled out in February.
Form: WB-SR2010

The Youth Coordinator helped select the first ever Snowman Mania Youth Ambassador.
Congratulations go out to Adrienne Aust for competing and winning this title.
The Wasaga Beach Kinette Club has generously donated a $25 President’s Choice gift card to the
Youth Centre for the next 6 months. This donation will be used towards purchasing healthy food for
youth programs along with other supplies that are needed in the centre.
The Outdoor Rink paid attendance from January 1st to January 31st was 1773 which is over 500
more participants than in January of 2014. We also had 5 private rentals later in the evenings during
the month of January. With the recent cold weather we were able to keep the refrigeration plant
turned off for most of the month in an effort to reduce the hydro energy costs.
This spring, on March 31, 2015, and May 20, 2015, we will be hosting two professional development
training sessions at the Sports Park facility for the Ontario Parks Association (OPA). The first training
session will be a Recreation Playground Practitioners (RPP) half day update course. The playground
requirements under the CAN/CSA Z614-14 standard are updated every five years and anyone
holding a RPP Certificate is required to attend an half day session in order to retain their certification.
The RPP Certification allows staff to perform a full inspection monthly on all play structures and
surrounding spaces, as recommended by the OPA, in order to ensure compliance with the standards.
The second session, to be held on May 20th, is a full day course on “Ball Diamond Maintenance and
Best Practices Workshop”.
A number of our parks staff will be participating in these courses in order to upgrade their skills so
that we are able to supply the users of all our facilities with an excellent and safe product. For hosting
the courses we will receive one free registration to each one. There is no additional cost to hosting
the event except for supplying the facilities.
On Wednesday, January 28th, we met with the representative whose company manufacturers the
mixing valves for the Y showers. After a thorough review of the system it was determined that the
fluctuations in water temperature is mostly caused by the distance between the valves and the
showers themselves. The recommendation from the rep is to install temperature regulating valves at
each of the five locations where the main supply line enters the shower facilities. He’s indicated that
this will reduce the temperature fluctuations that we are now seeing. We have asked the contractor
involved with this to provide us with a price for completing this recommendation.
Over the next couple weeks our department supervisors will be meeting to plan out our 2015 staff
orientation, capital projects schedule, along with a number of other operational project scheduling for
the spring and summer.

Gerry Reinders, Manager of Parks, Facilities and Recreation
SUBJECT:
Lighthouse Church Park Events
DATE:
February 12, 2015
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT the Community Services Committee does support the recommendation from the Manager of
Parks, Facilities and Recreation to not charge any park fees for the Lighthouse Community Church’s
2015 “Party in the Park” events.
BACKGROUND:
As indicated in the Lighthouse Church’s request letter, they have hosted these family events in our
parks for the past six summers and have received a very positive response from the community.
DISCUSSION:
Our fee structure for the rental of park areas is as follows:
MUNICIPAL PARK RENTAL FEES:
* Full Day $100.00
* Partial Day (up to 3 hours) includes Gazebo & Arbor $ 50.00
These fees were put in place to help control events that take place in our municipal parks and also to
cover the costs of maintenance for the event, including clean up.
We have found with these events, which are hosted by the Lighthouse Community Church, that there
has been no requirements what so ever from our department as far as pre-event needs and post
event clean up. The event planners run a well-organized family event and leave no garbage or
materials behind when the event is over. The church also holds a five million dollar insurance policy
which covers these types of events.
My recommendation is based on the fact that we incur no costs from our department for these events
to take place and I believe it’s an excellent way for families in the various neighbourhoods to get out
and meet one another, in turn making for a stronger community.

Community Services Committee:
For the past several years Lighthouse Community church has sought to be an important and
valuable part of Wasaga Beach, to give back to the community and to support families who live
here. In the summer of 2009 we launched a series of community events called Party in the Park.
Party in the Park takes place during July and August in parks throughout town. It is one of our
contributions to families by providing active, healthy, family-friendly activities that are safe, free
and right in their neighbourhood! We understand that the Town desires for our community to be
a destination for family living and vacationing and we seek to support that vision.
Because of the wonderful response from community members to the parties in the past several
years we have invested in hiring students and purchasing equipment to enhance the program.
Last summer was a great season! The weather really cooperated and we’re noticing that Party
in the Park is becoming very widely recognized throughout the town. We are anticipating summer 2015 and another opportunity to add value to this town. This
coming summer we hope to host nine parties. Considering the value these events add to
families of Wasaga Beach and our desire to make them assessable by keeping them free of
charge, we are requesting that the Municipality waive any park fees that may normally be
associated with park use. We look forward to many years of partnership with the Town of Wasaga Beach!
Sincerely, Hilary Keller
