INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Members of Council, Inhabitants and Ratepayers of the Township of Lucan Biddulph:
I have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Township of Lucan Biddulph, whichcomprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at December 31, 2016 and the ConsolidatedStatements of Operations and Accumulated Surplus, Cash Flows, and Changes in Net Financial Assets(Liabilities) for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatoryinformation.
Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial StatementsManagement is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financialstatements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards, and for such internal control asmanagement determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's ResponsibilityMy responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on my audit. Iconducted my audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standardsrequire that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in theconsolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including theassessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparationand fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of theentity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating overallpresentation of the consolidated financial statements.
I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my auditopinion.
OpinionIn my opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financialposition of the Township as at December 31, 2016 and its financial performance and its changes in cashflows and net financial assets (liabilities) for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian public sectoraccounting standards.

Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Township of Lucan Biddulph Asset Management Plan Arena, Parks and Municipal Buildings As at December 31, 2016 June 19, 2017 Please find attached the draft Asset Management Plan (AMP) for Council’s review. This plan is supplementary to the original AMP which considered water, wastewater, storm sewer and road networks, as it considers arena, parks and municipal buildings. The Township’s total AMP would include both of these plans in contemplating future capital budgets. The following assumptions should be noted:
1. Cost represents the original cost per the Township’s tangible capital asset inventory listing for assets purchased as of December 31, 2016.
2. NBV represents the amortized cost since the date of purchase at December 31, 2016.
3. The number of years is the expected life of each asset. 4. The estimated date of replacement represents the projected date to be replaced
based on the date of purchase and the estimated life of each asset. 5. Only assets that meet the definition of a tangible capital asset per the Township’s
policy have been considered. 6. The 2017 capital budget that was approved by Council has been included in the
2017 column. The majority of the 2017 budgeted capital assets that relate to this AMP have already been purchased in 2017.
7. The Township staff is awaiting final projections for the options of upgrading the Arena. Many of the assets on the attached listing relate to this upgrade as they have been major repairs to maintain the building over the last several years. Therefore, they have all been targeted for completion in 2019 which may or may not be the proper assumption. I have used $10,000,000 which was the original projection for upgrades to both the entrance and remainder of arena. This value will be updated once the final projections are received from the engineer. I have included this estimate on the first line and ignored the replacement of the component assets that make up this total.
8. The pool replacement is also under review as of this report and I have simply calculated it as per 9 below until final estimates are available.
9. The estimated replacement cost has been calculated based on the original cost adjusted for projected inflation. These are estimates only.
10. I have estimated the next 20 years only, therefore, if the assets replacement date is after 2037, they have not been projected.
11. For the municipal buildings, I have estimated there will be required upgrades twenty years from date of construction as an estimate at 20% of the original cost.

Council Minutes Present: Mayor C. Burghardt-Jesson, Deputy Mayor A. VanGeel, Councillor W. Hall and Councillor D. Manders. Also Present: R. Reymer-CAO/Clerk, D. Kester-Public Works Manager, J. Boyer-Manager of Parks & Recreation, T. Merner Administrative Assistant, L. DeBoer-Economic Development Officer Call To Order Mayor C. Burghardt-Jesson called the meeting to order at 6:32 p.m. Declaration of Pecuniary Interest & Nature Thereof None Delegation BM Ross Engineers Steve Burns from BM Ross Engineers & Associates attended as delegation to present a report to Council on the Township of Lucan Biddulph Wastewater Treatment Plant and Reserve Capacity. The report identifies the total and uncommitted reserve capacities, when to plan for expansion and any issues that could impact on current capacity or expansion requirements. S. Burns advised that the numbers indicate no immediate need for expansion, however the WWTP is currently operating at 60% of capacity and we have 90% committed. He further stated that as Lucan Biddulph continues to grow peak flows will be diverted to lagoons for later treatment and returning wastewater from the lagoon to the WWTP can only be done manually. He also stated that OCWA has advised more storage is needed for sludge as the existing storage facilities are reaching capacity. Mayor C. Burghardt-Jesson asked S. Burns, how he recommends us moving forward? S. Burns advised that we investigate the feasibility of increasing the peak flow rating from 3.500 m³/day to 5,000 m³/day and determine the cost of providing additional sludge storage. He further recommended that staff approach the ABCA regarding monitoring water quality in the Little Ausable River. R. Reymer commented that Council should know the cost involved, as that changes development costs and we don’t want to get to a point where our development is delayed. Senior of the Year Award Mayor C. Burghardt-Jesson advised that June is Seniors Month as designated by the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration. She presented this year’s award to Barbara Tuxford and thanked her for involvement in many community events.

Middlesex County Cara Finn and Steven Pearce of the County of Middlesex attended to present the Lucan Biddulph Report of the Middlesex County Resident Life Survey. The survey was comprised of comparisons made between communities surrounding London and identified what attracts residents to Middlesex County and what factors are considered to retain residents. 1.7 % of Lucan Biddulph residents completed the survey. Based on the survey results 56% of residents are attracted to Lucan Biddulph because it is a good place to raise a family. Results further indicated that residents have a high level of satisfaction with housing, environment, health care access and community events. Clean, Safe and Growing were the most closely used words associated with Lucan Biddulph. Reasons for leaving were lack of businesses and entertainment. R. Reymer thanked Steven and Cara for attending and commented that steps are currently in place to attract more businesses, however it takes time. 1/ Minutes Moved by A. Westman Seconded by W, Hall Resolved that the regular Council Minutes of May 15th, 2017, the Public Meeting Minutes of May 15th, 2017 and the In-Camera Minutes of May 1, 2017, May 9, 2017 and May 15th, 2017 be approved as circulated/amended.
CARRIED Staff Reports - Planning R. Reymer updated members of the public on the status of the Knip re-zoning application. He stated that our planner, Marc Bancroft advised the applicant’s agent, Gary Blazek, that an Official Plan Amendment is required as the proposed use is not consistent with Provincial Policy Statement recognizing that it is not an agricultural-related use. M. Bancroft is awaiting a response from G. Blazek at this time. Should the applicant not seek an amendment to the Official Plan, M. Bancroft has advised that he will be providing a report to Council recommending the denial of the application. R. Reymer further advised the public that the Applicant does have the opportunity to appeal the decision at which time it would be sent to the Ontario Municipal Board. Charles Hayden asked council how the public will receive notice. Mayor C. Burghardt-Jesson advised Mr. Hayden and members of the public that if they signed the sign-in letter or otherwise requested notification, they will receive a letter or email advising the date of the meeting. Committee Reports Fireboards Lucan Biddulph Fire Chief, Ron DeBrouwer and Biddulph Blanshard Fire Chief, Steve Toews presented the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Policy. The Province requires all municipalities to adopt a PTSD prevention plan. R. DeBrouwer stated that they started training on critical stress management 2 years ago and it’s great that Lucan Biddulph has already been practicing these measures since before it was legislated. He further advised that more courses on mental health will be available to the firemen and that each fireman is required to take a 4 hour course on PTSD which the County makes available at firehalls. R. DeBrouwer recommended that Council adopt the policy presented. 2/ PTSD Policy Moved by A. Westman

Seconded by W. Hall Resolved that the Council of the Township of Lucan Biddulph adopt the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder policy.
CARRIED Business Arising R. Reymer provided update on the Fairtax proposal advising that Fairtax would like a Service Contract signed. R. Reymer recommended that we do not enter into an Agreement, rather use them to assist in Grant Applications as well feel necessary. He further commented that to pay Fairtax 20% for small grants is substantial, however for larger grant applications like the Community Centre renovation, Fairtax may be beneficial. Councillor D. Manders asked if we could see other municipality’s applications to compare and see how they differ from ours. New Business Ward Review L. DeBoer presented a report to council to consider Ward Boundary Adjustment and changes to the current representation model from the existing Ward system to an At-Large system for the 2018 election. She advised that the OMB favours both Ward Boundary System and At-Large Systems. She further stated that elector numbers are still pretty close to the 2014 election and you usually don’t start adjusting until there is a 20-25% increase, therefore Ward Boundary adjustments are not necessary for the 2018 election but definitely for the 2022 election as Ridge Crossing and Lucan Estates developments become fully completed. The question for the 2018 election is whether to move to an At-Large System. Councillor W. Hall asked if we could put the decision to choose a system on the next ballot. Councillor D. Manders stated he likes the idea of a public meeting to discuss. Councillor A. Westman has concerns with At-Large system as he doesn’t feel that smaller settlement areas and rural areas would be represented fairly if you get 3 councillors from Lucan. Councillor A. VanGeel asked what the deadline is for making the decision. L. DeBoer advised that a bylaw has to be passed by the end of this year. Mayor C. Burghardt-Jesson advised council to review L. DeBoer’s report and further discussion will take place at the next meeting. Communications Report Ministry of Municipal Affairs - Septic Tank Inspection Regulations R. Reymer advised that the Ministry of Municipal Affairs has confirmed that they will not be moving forward with proposals requiring regular inspections, pumping out of septic tanks and keeping maintenance records put forth in Phase One of the Building code consultation. AMO Local Share Analysis AMO provided a snapshot of the local share analysis. They are seeking input from municipal elected officials on a proposed new 1% sales tax, dedicated to local infrastructure investment. R. Reymer commented that this information is great timing as the election approaches. C. Burghardt-Jesson advised that last year she participated in round table discussions on how municipalities would gain money and AMO recommended a 1% increase in HST. Committee Reports CEDC Councillor D. Manders advised that the next scheduled meeting is Tuesday, June 13th.

Reymer provided six updated policies including Council Remuneration, Conference, Appointee Remuneration, Employee Pay Grid, Confidential Employee Pay Grid and Employee Meeting Remuneration. R. Reymer advised that a number of these policies were more than 10 years old and in need of updating. He further advised that there needs to recognition for amount of time the Mayor spends at extra meetings as there are a lot more committee meetings now. R. Reymer asked that with Councils permission Granton Recreation Committee be removed as a line item from the Appointee Remuneration Policy, as it has not been in place for years. R. Reymer further advised that the salary grid continues to follow the County and was adjusted by 1.5%. R. Reymer provided update on AMO meeting requests. Three requests have been submitted for MTO, MOI and MMAH and if request is granted the meetings will be limited to 15 minutes each. R. Reymer advised that he, C. Burghardt-Jesson and L. DeBoer attended the Middlesex County Spring Agricultural Tour. Some of the stops included a large dairy operation, Holandia Bakery and Bannock Farms. They also toured Grey Ridge Eggs in Strathroy and were amazed at production numbers and that over 300 people are employed there. The tour ended at Texas Long Horse Ranch. R.

satisfies a condition of severance for the creation of 4 residential lots on Spencer Avenue. R. Reymer further commented on the reports included for Zoning By-Law Amendments of Phase 2 and 3 of Old Clover Village Subdivision. He advised council that Phase 2 is outlined in gold and phase 3 in red on the location maps included with the report. Mayor C. Burghardt-Jesson asked staff if the issue of pooling of water in this subdivision has been addressed. D. Kester advised that he met with development engineers and Dillon Consulting and advised them that the Township is not in a position to assume the Subdivision while this issue is outstanding. The Engineers are aware and looking into resolving the issue with Phase 2 and 3. R. Reymer advised Council that we were successful in obtaining CWWF funding and the Agreement is included for review. Public Works D. Kester updated council on the meeting held with residents of Nagle Drive on May 25, 2017. A variety of options were presented to residents ranging in cost from $9,000 to $20,000.00. Good overall feedback was received. D. Kester recommended that a letter be circulated to other potential residents that could benefit, to advise what is potentially available to them in the future, should they need to address issues with their existing wells in the meantime. D. Kester advised that he attended a meeting last week in regards to the County Cycling Plan moving forward. More information will be provided in future to lower tiers to show network as a whole. D. Kester advised that the Public Works Department provided 3 vehicles at the recent Touch A Truck event and great feedback was received. J. Boyer advised that over 600 pounds of food was donated to the Ailsa Craig foodbank from the event. D. Kester advised council that the new tandem plow has been delivered and recommends a closed bid for the single axle plow. D. Kester advised that he and R. Reymer had a meeting with developer, Vito Campanale in regards to the modifying the lagoon system and possibly partnering with a developer. R. Reymer advised that the developer suggested making the lagoon site a wetland and using certain plants that will breakdown the accumulated sludge. Parks & Recreation J. Boyer provided update on the proposed community centre renovations. Two separate drawings have been received back from Spriets and J. Boyer requested Council members to stop by his office in the next couple of weeks to review and provide comments. He also stated that a decision needs to be made regarding including the pool in the renovation plans or decommissioning it, as currently requesting 2 sets of drawings from Spriets is cost prohibitive. The existing pool is approximately 53 years old and the cost of replacing it ranges from 1.6 to 2 million dollars. J. Boyer advised he will be bringing a recommendation for Granton Skatepark award at the next council meeting and that having the project completed by September 15, 2017 will be a tight timeframe. He further advised that the pathway project in Granton will be started after Baconfest. Councillor A. Westman commented that the meeting held in Granton regarding the Skatepark went over really well and it was nice to see the kids

Dear partners and stakeholders, We are pleased to announce the launch of the Ontario Municipal Commuter Cycling Program (OMCC) on May 29, 2017. OMCC is a four year, cost-shared, direct funding program for infrastructure projects, with the goal to support and develop commuter cycling. OMCC is a key component of Ontario’s Climate Change Action Plan, through which, Ontario is committing to increase funding to advance commuter cycling improvements. On behalf of the Ontario government, we are pleased to invite you to participate in the program. The purpose of OMCC is to provide direct, dedicated and annual funding to Ontario municipalities to support the implementation of commuter cycling infrastructure. As OMCC is supported by proceeds from Ontario’s cap and trade program, use of OMCC funding is directed to capital investments in creating or enhancing commuter cycling infrastructure. The goal is to encourage people to get out of their cars and onto bikes for their daily commute or other frequent trips. This investment will also support Ontario’s Cycling Tourism Plan by providing funding to commuter cycling infrastructure at major destinations and tourist sites. Every municipality in Ontario, large and small, will be eligible to apply for OMCC funding in any or all of its four years. Participating municipalities will be required to declare their interest and identify their eligible projects on an annual basis. The funding for any given participating municipality will be based upon the number of participating municipalities, and is anticipated to vary from year to year. Municipalities interested in participating in OMCC for the 2017 Fiscal Year have until August 18, 2017 to submit a Participation Declaration. OMCC funding for the 2017 Fiscal Year will be announced by September 25, 2017. You can learn more about OMCC on the Ontario cycling web hub at http://www.grants.gov.on.ca/GrantsPortal/en/OntarioGrants/GrantOpportunities/PRDR017150 . Application and program information is located at Grants Ontario at [email protected]. You can also learn more by contacting the Ministry of Transportation about the program by phone: 416-325-6691 or 1-855-216-3090 or by email: [email protected].

MEPCO UPDATE June 5, 2017
MEPCO Board Supports Proposals to Strengthen Plan Health
At its recent meeting, the MEPCO Board was updated on key OMERS Plan design areas currently being considered by the OMERS Sponsors Corporation (SC) Board: the Modified Inflation Indexing (MI²) proposal and OMERS Specified Plan Changes (SPCs) being assessed in 2017.
MEPCO Board Supports Indexation Proposal
What is being proposed?
Modified Inflation Indexing (MI²) would give OMERS the option to change future indexation levels, if necessary, in the event of a major market downturn. If approved, MI² would apply only to benefits earned after the Plan is amended, with no impact on benefits already accrued. Right now, benefits are indexed at 100% the rate of inflation. MI² does not decrease pensions. Instead, pensions would increase at a slower rate for a period of time, until full indexation could be restored.
Why is MEPCO supporting MI²?
Put simply, MI² would improve OMERS Plan sustainability and affordability for both employers and employees. As is the case with many pension plans, the number of retired members is increasing. At the same time, global financial markets are not predictable and an adverse economic event could occur at any time (see attached chart). Each of these challenges has significant cost impacts; however, these factors taken together could have a devastating result for the stability of everyone’s contributions and the security of Plan benefits. Already, pension contributions account for about 18% of combined employee/employer costs (9% each).
The OMERS Plan is in a deficit position and OMERS projects a return to full funding by 2025, as long as annual investment return benchmarks are met and there are no benefit changes. Recent experience has shown that it is difficult to predict global economic performance over a decade. Reliance on investment returns alone is risky.
Predictably, perspectives at the SC Board on the need for MI² are wide ranging, with some sponsors seeing MI² as an unnecessary “take-a-way,” while others

request more information to assess MI² operation. As with all Specified Plan Changes (SPCs), the proposal needs support from at least two-thirds of the Board to pass. MEPCO views the MI² as a safety valve, as a balance to investment risk and as a key initiative to address the issue of intergenerational equity in plan funding responsibilities.
Status of 2017 OMERS Proposed SPCs
In the 2017 OMERS Specified Plan Change cycle, the SC Board is considering four proposed plan change proposals:
1) time restrictions on selecting the commuted value of a pension entitlement option for plan members whose employment ends before eligibility for an early retirement pension and on service buy backs, for members who rejoin OMERS after taking a commuted value;
2) revisions to pension commencement options for members with dual membership¹ to address circumstances where a Plan member remains employed by an OMERS employer, while drawing a significant OMERS pension;
3) enabling employers to suspend OMERS Plan participation for employees who live and work outside of Canada, to address tax complications; and
4) allowing employers to offer NRA 60 benefits to paramedics, who are not designated police officers or firefighters, subject to consultation with OMERS Management.
The first three SPC proposals will be voted on at the June SC Board meeting. The fourth proposal will be considered by the end of 2017. As municipal employers know, the Ontario Professional Fire Fighters Association and the Ontario Government have been looking at paramedics being part of fire services, which could have implications beyond the service delivery/accountability matters.
The SC is continuing consultation on the MI² proposal and Plan membership requirements for non-full-time employees, with decisions on these proposals anticipated in the 2018 SPC cycle. For further information, please visit OMERS SC Plan Changes.
¹Dual membership occurs when a member has more than one employment relationship with OMERS employers (e.g. two part-time jobs at different municipalities.

June 16, 2017 REPORT
TO: Members of Council Township of Lucan Biddulph FROM: Marc Bancroft, Senior Planner RE: Development Agreement Florentini Cabrera 201 Water Street, Lucan
Purpose: The purpose of this report is to provide a development agreement for Council’s consideration to assist in satisfying a condition of consent to facilitate the residential development of the land. Background: The subject lands are situated on the west side of Water Street between Main Street and William Street in Lucan. The lot to be conveyed is vacant whereas the lot to be retained contains a single detached dwelling, a detached garage and a shed. The subject lands are designated Residential according to the Township Official Plan and zoned Residential Second Density (R2) which permits single unit and semi-detached dwellings. A semi-detached dwelling is to be constructed on the lot to be conveyed. At the Township’s Committee of Adjustment Hearing on November 7, 2016, Application for Consent B-6/2016 was conditionally granted subject to a number of conditions including:
That the applicant enter into a development agreement with the Township, and that the agreement be registered against the title of the subject land, which addresses among other matters, building envelope location, lot grading and drainage, entrance location, water and sanitary servicing connections, all to the satisfaction of the Township and the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority.
Analysis: The attached development agreement has been prepared to facilitate the development of the lot to be conveyed which includes a number of requirements including but not limited to: grading, drainage, servicing and access. Security in the amount of $5,000 will be required to ensure that all requirements are undertaken to the satisfaction of the Township. A servicing and grading has been prepared by MTE Ontario Land Surveyors which forms a schedule to the agreement. Building, public works and planning staff have no concerns with the agreement. Given that the lands are situated within a regulated area given their proximity to the Benn Drain, a permit from the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority is likely required being applicable law under the Ontario Building Code. Although the proposed plan was circulated to the ABCA, their comments were not available at the time of the preparation of this report.

Should there be said adverse impact, the Owner shall carry out any necessary remedial work to correct the problem as recommended by its consulting engineer and to the satisfaction of the Municipality and the Conservation Authority, and at no cost to the Municipality or any neighbouring property owner.

Memo To: Mayor and Council
From: Jason Boyer, Parks & Recreation Manager
Subject: Granton Skate Park
Date: June 19, 2017
BACKGROUND:
The Granton Park Committee has been working hard over the last year and a half to raise money for a
new Skate Park. In the spring of 2016 the Committee came to council asking for council to consider
putting a skate park in Granton Park. Council felt that if the Committee was able to raise a third of the
project cost that it would be a feasible endeavor. By budget time 2017 the Committee was able to raise
$30 000 to put toward the project and the municipality has also been able to secure a donor for another
third of the project.
Requests for proposals were received for the design and construction of a new skate park in Granton.
Our project budget is $90 000, with a third funding coming from each of the Granton Park Committee
fundraiser efforts, private donation, and the Township.

DISCUSSION:
After reviewing the details of the proposals submitted, the Granton Park Committee, Parks &
Recreation Advisory Committee and I have reviewed and scored the 3 proposals. Through the scoring
process the Advisory Committee respectfully recommends that council accept the proposal from
Radius Contracting as we believe it is the value for our park and township. This proposal is the only
poured-in place all concrete structure which will make it a lot more durable to our climate and will also
be the quietest and have the least amount of up keep. The life expectancy is also far greater than the
other two modular skate park proposals.
It should be noted that the only drawback to the Radius proposal is that they would likely not be able to
meet the construction deadline of September 15. It will likely be completed in mid-October, however
weather depending, it could be postponed until early spring 2018.
IMPACTS TO BUDGET:
$89 760 + HST
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council authorizes the Manager of Parks & Recreation to accept the proposal from Radius
Construction for the design and construction of the proposed Granton Skate Park at a cost of $89,760
plus HST.
