AND FURTHER THAT the lease with U of T be premised on the following general terms and conditions: (i) The initial term of the lease will be five years, with one renewal option for an additional five year period, at the sole option of TRCA; (ii) The lease rate shall be a nominal sum of $2.00 per annum; (iii) U of T shall be responsible for any and all approvals required for the construction and operation of the watercourse monitoring station and associated equipment; (iv) U of T shall be soley responsible for any and all costs associated with the construction and operation of the watercourse monitoring station and associated equipment, as well as all legal and survey costs; (v) U of T shall be responsible for any and all agreements required from adjacent owners for access to TRCA-owned lands; (vi) Any further terms or conditions as deemed necessary or appropriate by TRCA staff and solicitor; 55 AND FURTHER THAT an archaeological review shall be completed by U of T, with any mitigative measures being carried out to the satisfaction of TRCA, all at the sole expense of U of T; AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take the necessary action may be required to implement the lease, including obtaining needed approvals and signing and execution of documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND On September 1, 2013, TRCA entered into an agreement with the University of Toronto to design and construct six new gauging stations at various locations in the Mimico Creek watershed, in accordance with sites chosen by U of T. Work was to include ground truthing, all liaison activities with participating municipalities (Brampton, Mississauga and Toronto) regarding permission and access to municipal land (where applicable), station design, station construction, installation of monitoring equipment (provided by U of T), as well as any required training. The objective of this project is to implement a water quality/quantity monitoring network in the Mimico Creek watershed area for the purpose of advancing water monitoring research, stream restoration technologies, improving data dissemination and analysis techniques. Each station is designed to operate remotely and collect data from the creek during wet and dry weather. Fully automated, a combination of an autosampler and level sensor are housed inside a single enclosure at the top of the creek's bank. In some cases, the enclosure will require the construction of a small concrete foundation at grade and offset approximately 10 feet from the creek bank. TRCA staff will ensure that the proposed station does not obstruct any ongoing operations in proximity to the site. Following this initial agreement, TRCA was approached by U of T with a request to install one monitoring station on TRCA-owned lands located south of Steeles Avenue and west of Goreway Drive, in the Mimico Creek watershed, City of Brampton, Regional Municipality of Peel. U of T has agreed to fund construction, operation and decommissioning of the proposed station and has established an on foot access point from an existing parking lot on the east side of the subject lands. The subject TRCA property is landlocked and U of T will be responsible for obtaining all necessary agreements with the owners of the adjacent properties for access to the TRCA lands. Attached is a plan illustrating the proposed location. 56 FINANCIAL DETAILS As U of T has agreed to share all data collected by this network of monitoring stations with TRCA, staff recommends that the lease rate be a nominal sum of $2.00 per annum. All necessary legal and survey costs shall be the sole responsibility of U of T.

Moved by: Seconded by: Jack Heath Michael Di Biase WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) vision for The Living City is dependent on healthy and resilient urban forests; AND WHEREAS TRCA has played an important role in the development of programs and strategies dedicated to the protection and enhancement of urban forests and natural systems, including local urban forest studies, the Terrestrial Natural Heritage System Strategy and the Green Infrastructure Ontario Coalition (GIO); AND WHEREAS TRCA has the expertise and partnerships to coordinate collaborative efforts to advance the urban forest agenda in the Greater Toronto Area; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT TRCA continue to provide a Steering Committee member and project manager for Trees For Life, a campaign of the Green Infrastructure Ontario Coalition; AND FURTHER THAT staff provide progress updates to the Authority as this initiative continues. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #8/12, held on October 26, 2012, Resolution #A191/12 was approved, in part, as follows: ...THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT TRCA staff be authorized to participate as a Steering Committee member and project manager in Trees For Life, a campaign of the Green Infrastructure Ontario Coalition; AND FURTHER THAT staff report back to the Authority with progress as this initiative continues. Founded in 2011 by Mark Cullen - expert gardener, radio and television host, and Toronto Star Columnist - Trees For Life (TFL) is a voluntary partnership of organizations and agencies whose shared mandate is to protect and enhance the urban forest in the Toronto region. The long-term goal of TFL is to achieve 40% tree canopy cover in urban areas. Trees for Life partners have committed to achieving this goal by leveraging existing resources and raising new funds in support of tree planting, maintenance and public education efforts. 59 TRCA currently participates in this partnership as a Steering Committee member together with the following organizations: Local Enhancement & Appreciation of Forests (LEAF), Landscape Ontario Horticultural Trades Association, Ontario Parks Association, Toronto Botanical Garden, Ontario Urban Forest Council, Forests Ontario, City of Toronto – Parks, Forestry & Recreation, Compost Council of Canada, Toronto Parks and Trees Foundation, and Tree Canada. TRCA is also providing essential capacity building and administrative support by serving as the secretariat for both Trees for Life and GIO. On behalf of GIO, TRCA was awarded a three-year Ontario Trillium Foundation grant in June of 2013. Funds received will continue to support capacity building efforts of both GIO and TFL, as well as the salary for a full-time project manager. In December 2013 TFL hired a development manager to further advance TFL’s fundraising and communications. Significant achievements to date include: a tree planting event at Archbishop Romero Secondary School involving students and community members, at which over 80 large caliper trees were planted on school grounds; a fruit tree maintenance workshop that provided training and assistance to residents in the proper care of the urban orchards found in their backyards; and a fall tree planting event organized in partnership with TRCA, at which 150 early successional trees and shrubs were planted at Tommy Thompson Park. RATIONALE GIO advocates for wide scale adoption of green infrastructure across the province, seeks policy improvements at the municipal and provincial level to facilitate green infrastructure opportunities, and encourages a shift in both public and private investment in support of greater protection and enhancement of green infrastructure. TFL’s work supports GIO’s long term goals while also providing short term successes in both on the ground projects and policy areas. TFL's efforts will directly support the fulfillment of TRCA’s 2013-2022 Strategic Plan objectives, including ‘Rethink greenspace to maximize its value’, and ‘Build partnerships and new business models’. This partnership also supports the objectives of multiple TRCA programs, including urban forest studies and strategies, Sustainable Neighbourhood Retrofit Action Plans (SNAP), Partners in Project Green (PPG), watershed plans and the Terrestrial Natural Heritage System Strategy. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE In fall 2013, TFL issued its first call for project proposals for tree planting, maintenance and protection projects in the GTA. TFL has subsequently committed to supporting four of these projects by identify and pursuing tailored fundraising opportunities. To date, two of the projects have been successfully funded through in-kind support and private donations. TFL will continue to fundraise for collaborative urban tree projects, prioritizing unique funding sources and companies not currently contributing to urban tree programs. The benefits of the urban forest will be communicated by TFL to donors, governments and the general public through its online platform, public speaking engagements and access to media outlets. Future initiatives include: development of a set of common urban forestry metrics for measuring progress towards TFL’s goal of 40% tree canopy cover; 60 development and implementation of a marketing and communication plan; curation of tree-related events and stories on the new TFL website; and pursuit of strategic meetings and partnerships with key provincial and federal government officials. FINANCIAL DETAILS The Ontario Trillium Foundation grant now funds the GIO/TFL project manager position as well as some additional staff support. TRCA will continue to provide in-kind support in staff time for the development of the TFL website, as well as the participation of senior staff members in TFL meetings.

CARRIED BACKGROUND At Executive Meeting #2/13, held on April 12, 2013, Resolution #B60/11 was approved as follows: THAT Contract RSD13-036 for the supply of rental rates for an operated hydraulic backhoe with 6-way dozing capabilities be awarded to Valefield Contracting Incorporated for the period April 26, 2013 to April 26, 2014 at a total cost not to exceed $140,000.00, plus a 10% contingency, plus HST, it being the lowest bid meeting Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) specifications; 61 AND FURTHER THAT authorized officials be directed to take the necessary action to implement the contract including the signing and execution of documents. In preparation of the original tender documents, staff included a provision whereby the successful bidder could request a one year extension to the contract at a specific maximum percent increase or decrease to the unit prices bid. Valefield Contracting Inc. has requested, in writing, a one year extension to their contract with a unit rate increase of 3.5% in year two. RATIONALE TRCA and Valefield Contracting Inc. have worked on numerous successful environmental restoration projects with TRCA. There are a variety of efficacy benefits to be gained from continuing to work with Valefield Contracting Inc. to implement the 2014 projects. The work required is very specialized and there has been a lot of time invested with Valefield Contracting Inc. to ensure that the work is being done according to the habitat requirements and outcomes that TRCA's Restoration and Environmental Monitoring group requires. FINANCIAL DETAILS The value of this contract is estimated to be approximately $145,000.00, plus a 10% contingency based upon a review of similar work in previous years. An increase or decrease in workload will have an impact on the value of this contract. The contractor understands both the potential cost and resource implications associated with potential workload changes.

Award of contract to complete native grassland meadows seeding at Gatineau Hydro Corridor and Claireville Conservation Area. Moved by: Seconded by: Mike Mattos Colleen Jordan THAT the contract to supply and plant native grassland seeds at Gatineau Hydro Corridor and Claireville Conservation Area be awarded to Ontario NativeScape, a division of Rural Lambton Stewardship Network, at a total cost not to exceed $66,000.00, plus $6,600.00 contingency, plus HST. CARRIED BACKGROUND Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is working to establish native meadows at Claireville Conservation Area owned by TRCA and Gatineau Hydro Corridor owned by Hydro One. The meadow within Claireville is a 3.4 ha area located west of Regional Road 50 just north of Highway 407 in the City of Brampton within the Humber River watershed and the site is being restored to grassland cover as part of Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Species at Risk overall benefit compensation on behalf of Hopewell Developments, who has funded the project. The site has been fully prepared to allow for optimal meadow establishment conditions and native plant and grass seeding in 2014. The Gatineau Hydro Corridor Habitat Improvement Project in partnership with the City of Toronto and Hydro One is a 8 ha area within the Highland Creek watershed located north of Lawrence Avenue, east of Bellamy Road. The objective of the project is to naturalize the corridor with native meadow species and habitat structures. The site has been fully prepared to allow for optimal meadow establishment conditions and native plant and grass seeding in 2014. RATIONALE Ontario NativeScape (ONS) was established in 2013 as a division of Rural Lambton Stewardship Network (RLSN). RLSN has been restoring native grasslands in southern Ontario since 1994. This not-for-profit group is interested in seeing establishment of native grass throughout Ontario and provides advice and services to non-profit organizations on a cost recovery basis. The group sources seed from grassland stands and operates seed cleaning/handling facilities, which allows for the planting of several hundred acres of native grasslands annually. The organizations ability to source seeds from known stands results in minimum weed seed contamination and maximum germinability. ONS guarantees their seed and will re-seed unsuccessful areas if necessary. 63 ONS has considerable experience, expertise and the seed material to assist TRCA with the establishment of native grass meadows. While ONS is not the only group that may be able to provide seed to TRCA, they are the only one that will provide seed on a cost recovery basis. They also have the most extensive native grassland seeding experience in Ontario and are the only group to own and operate a specialized Truax seed drill, which is required in order to plant individual wildflower seeds in rows. Finally, the projects are designed so that technology transfer from ONS to TRCA related to native grass seeding and establishment on large areas will happen as a part of the implementation. For these reasons, staff recommends award of the contract to supply and plant native grasslands at Claireville Conservation Area and the Gatineau Hydro Corridor to the Ontario NativeScape as per Section 9.3.3 of TRCA's Purchasing Policy as follows: The required goods and services are to be supplied by a vendor or supplier having specialized knowledge, skills, expertise or experience that cannot be reasonably provided by any other supplier. TRCA has previously used the services of RLSN at both of these sites, as well as Bob Hunter Memorial Park. FINANCIAL DETAILS The total cost for the projects will be $66,000, plus $6,600 contingency, plus HST. Gatineau Hydro Corridor Enhancement Component: $50,000 Costs for the Gatineau Corridor Enhancement will be charged to account no. 113-28. Funding has been provided through the Weston Family Parks Challenge. Claireville Conservation Area Component: $16,000 Costs for Claireville Conservation Area will be charged to account no. 119-67. Funding has been provided through Hopewell Developments.

Report prepared by: Aubrey Orr, extension 5760 Email: aorr@trca.on.ca For Information Contact: Aubrey Orr, extension 5760 Email: aorr@trca.on.ca Date: March 25, 2014 _________________________________________ SECTION IV - ITEMS FOR THE INFORMATION OF THE BOARD RES.#B25/14 - RESIDENTIAL RENTAL PROGRAM Summary of information on Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's residential rental program. Moved by: Seconded by: Michael Di Biase Colleen Jordan THAT the summary of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA) residential rental program, as outlined in the staff report dated April 10, 2014 be received. CARRIED BACKGROUND Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's residential portfolio consists of 118 single family dwellings located as follows: 41 in Toronto (with the majority in the Rouge Park), 31 in Markham (all but two are in the Rouge Park), 15 in Vaughan (with three owned by the Ontario Heritage Trust and managed by TRCA), two in King Township, five in Brampton, 11 in Caledon, eight in Pickering, one in Ajax, one in Whitchurch/Stouffville and three in Uxbridge. One of the homes in Brampton and one in the homes in Toronto are dam operator homes and staff is required to live in these homes as part of their job duties relating to the operation of the Claireville and G.Ross Lord dams. In addition to these two homes, four more are rented to TRCA staff, for a total of six of the 118 homes rented to TRCA staff. All of these homes were built many years ago, with 38 of these homes either listed on the municipal heritage inventory or designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. In general, they are in fair to good condition. These residential properties are located within conservation, open spaces and natural areas, that were assembled under various TRCA projects. Of the total, 66 homes were acquired by TRCA from the Ontario Realty Corporation as part of the Rouge Park and Bob Hunter Memorial Park transfers in 2004 and 2007. The agreement for the transfer of the lands to TRCA by the Ontario Realty Corporation has a condition that TRCA can not sell the lands. At Authority Meeting #11/13 held on January 31, 2014, Resolution #A239/13, approved the transfer of Rouge Park lands to Parks Canada, for the development of the Rouge National Urban Park. As a result, a total of 68 of the 118 homes will be transferred to Parks Canada. 68 TRCA has in the past reviewed its holdings to determine if any lands are surplus. As a result of these reviews, certain properties were declared as surplus and sold. The sale of these properties included residential properties such as 147 Sylvan Avenue, Scarborough, 3203 Mayfield Road, Brampton, 527, 529, 531, 556, Rodd Avenue, Pickering. As part of its rental portfolio management process, TRCA allocates a portion of the property taxes to each rental account. This allocation is based on the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation's (MPAC) valuation for the current tax year. For the 2013 taxation year the rental portfolio's share of the assessment is $34,740,917 for 118 rental homes for an average value of $294,414 per unit. Rental Rates: The Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 governs the management and rent rates for residential properties in Ontario. Residential rental rate increases are set on an annual basis by the Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal. This year the guideline for increasing rents is 0.8%. For the prior two years the guideline was 2.5% and 3.1% respectfully. A rate can be increased beyond the guideline when one of the following occurs: 1) a tenant leaves and a new tenant moves into the unit, or 2) when capital improvements are undertaken on a rental property. The Act allows the landlord and tenant to agree to a rent increase more than the guideline provided the landlord will or has done capital work to the rental unit. TRCA has applied this increase on several occasions when capital improvements were undertaken. TRCA rental rates range from $471/month plus utilities to $1,924/month plus utilities, with an average of about $1,212 per home. In addition, TRCA was required to assume the current rental leases of the ORC properties at the time of the transfer, and the rental rates in 2004 ranged between $186 per month to over $1,500 per month, plus utilities. One home in the TRCA portfolio is a life tenancy as part of the negotiations for acquisition, and as a result no rent is collected. Vacancies When a TRCA rental property becomes vacant, staff research the market to determine rental rates for comparable rental properties in the area. Based on this analysis rental rates are adjusted accordingly. Some of the factors that effect TRCA rental rates are as follows: Location - While a lot of TRCA's homes are in natural settings, these locations also tend to be isolated. Utility Costs - With the older nature of the homes, the utility costs tend to be fairly high. Marketing For advertising rental vacancies, TRCA has over the last few years expanded its use of media based websites together with rental publications. In order to reach a diverse audience across the GTA, TRCA uses the services of Kijiji, craigslist, Renters News and 4Rent.Ca. These are not solely web-based advertising resources, but they also distribute printed copies throughout the GTA. 69 4Rent.Ca is also distributed nationwide. TRCA also advertises internally to staff via email bulletin. Prior to using web-based websites, TRCA advertised in municipal local papers, but found this to be expensive and not effective. From staff's experience, web-based marketing has proven to be the most cost effective form of advertisement, with good results. House Inspections TRCA undertakes yearly house inspections to determine the condition of the homes, to establish a maintenance schedule and to address health and safety concerns. When TRCA has determined that a residential dwelling has reached the end of its useful life and it is no longer financially feasible to rent it, the home is flagged. Depending on the condition of the home, TRCA either terminates the lease and demolishes the dwelling or it is demolished when the tenant leaves. During the last two years two homes were demolished. FINANCIAL DETAILS Information from the 2014 budget relating to the rental properties is as follows: Revenue Expenditures Property Taxes Insurance Wages/Benefits Maintenance Subtotal Net Allocation of Central Maintenance Surplus 2014 Budget ORC Basic Total 980,000 905,000 1,885,000 290,000 73,000 103,250 415,750 882,000 98,000 0 98,000 187,000 477,000 29,000 102,000 117,600 220,850 305,400 721,150 639,000 1,521,000 266,000 364,000 118,000 118,000 148,000 246,000 The budget for the rental program is reported to the board annually as part of TRCA's operating budget, which is contained in the minutes on TRCA's website.
