To Mayor and council members:

Re: Request for documents on abandon starting part ofPurbrook drainage

It is unfortunate that the Purbrook process you started is causing more stress and costs.Whoever initiated and wrote the request to abandon part of it was competent to read afew lines in basic English and follow the directive in them with no costs or 3rd partyhelp. Apparently you talents are different; you allege you incurred costs and involve meagain. You need to clarify and detail you reasons and/or purposes for these costs.I am requesting copies of any email, letter and any other document between any entityas Twp, Mr. Gerrits, R. Dobbin and any other person with an interest in this abandonpetition dated from the time of the first petition to abandon to the present. I also wouldlike copy of the minutes the twp clerk recorded at the Drainage Tribunal hearing.If you wish use email or first class mail.Thank you.Mr. 0. Fiorese

Council Motion re Invoices. pdf; dobbin. pdf

In reply to your inquiry, Council received the 3rd petition from the area residents requesting abandonment of thePurbrook Creek between Town Line and Fairgrounds Road which was deemed to be a valid petition. Accordingly,Council instructed that notices be sent to all landowners on the drain advising of receipt of the petition and that anEngineer's Report would now be required in order to determine if the drain should or should not be abandoned.

On December 13, 2017, Joyce & George Thomson sent in a letter to Council to request that their names be withdrawnfrom the petition which now made the petition invalid. Subsequently, Council enacted the attached resolution directingthat all costs to-date for abandonment of the drain be invoiced to the petitioners. I have attached the letter receivedfrom Dobbin Engineering outlining the costs to each landowner for the request to abandon the drain. This was mailed toall petitioners on January 26, 2018 with a due date of March 26, 2018. 1 hope this is helpful to you.

To Ms. S. Goerke... Good morning!

About the Purbrook drainage

Someone emailed me some news from Severn, the news are late and they just add more disgust for the whole affair.One item is that the request to abandon part of the Purbrook drain was refused by the twp and some demand of costswere made against the requesters. To find out the why and how I would like to ask for copies of any letter on this case

Hope you are well

Cannabis Legalization Implementation Funding for Ontario Municipalities

AMO Member Q and A

Why is the Government of Ontario Providing Funding to Municipal Governments?

. Cannabis legalization experiences in other jurisdictions, while somewhat helpful, tookplace in different legal and social environments than Ontario's. This has madeforecasting needs a challenging task for everyone.

. Ontario recognizes that legally available recreational cannabis (storefront and on-lineretail) is likely to impact municipal services such as policing and bylaw enforcement,public health, paramedic, and other services that can deal with community impacts. Thiswill increase municipal costs incrementally.

. New, upfront funds will help Ontario municipal governments manage costs brought bylegal cannabis implementation and impacts on their communities for the next two years.

What is the funding approach developed between the Government of Ontario, AMO andthe City of Toronto? The funding approach:

. Reflects a provincial estimate of $100 million as Ontario's portion of the federal cannabisexcise duty on recreational cannabis for the first two years. The Province will provide $40million over two years to all Ontario municipal government to support their incrementalimplementation costs.

. If Ontario's portion of the federal excise duty for the first two years of legalizationexceeds $100 million, the Province will provide 50% of the surplus to municipalgovernments.

. Involves provincial cost containment for some municipal activities that will bring abenefit.

. Half of the $40 million to flow as soon as possible following federal Royal Assent andbefore legalization starts in 2018 so that municipal governments have upfront assistanceand the second half will flow on the anniversary of that date in 2019.

. Funding will be allocated on a per household basis, adjusted to ensure that eachmunicipality receives no less than $10, 000.

. In the case of counties and regions, funds will be shared equally between the tiersunless an alternate arrangement is made amongst the affected governments.

. Streamlined reporting and key data collection over two years to establish baseline data.

. Ontario, AMO, and the City of Toronto will re-engage in two years to revisit funding whenthere is a better understanding of implementation costs and impacts.

Prepared by AMD, March 9, 2018

Page 11 of 52

What are the 'cost avoidance' activities that will help contain municipal cannabisimplementation costs?

. In addition to the funding approach, Ontario is taking on some of the costs municipalgovernments face.

. For example, Ontario is covering the training costs for police officers (OPP and ownmunicipal forces) on Standard Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) certification. The number ofofficers certified is subject to police service standards and certification is not requiredfor every officer.

. Ontario is also creating a Cannabis Intelligence Coordination Centre to address the illicitmarket and organized crime.

. Federal funding for police training of $81 million/5 years will help the capacity in policeforces; for example, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police is working with thefederal government and the RCMP to train 65,000 officers across Canada on thecannabis legalization.

. Federal and provincial public health education campaigns will provide local public healthunits with support and resources to help address local needs related to cannabislegalization.

What impacts will municipal governments likely encounter from legal recreationalcannabis?

Generally, impacts are in the areas of:. Police services which will implement the drugged driving laws, requiring training and

equipment including roadside testing kits (not available yet) to better detect drugimpaired drivers.

. Police forces will continue to shut down and prosecute illegal cannabis storefronts.

. Municipal by-law officers may respond to an increase in nuisance complaints asresidents adjust to legalization.

. By-law officers can be designated to respond to public consumption complaints insteadof police personnel.

. Paramedic services could experience increased calls from cannabis users.

. A change in usage patterns in local communities may require a public health unitresponse.

. Provincial Offences Act{?0f<) prosecutions in municipal courts may also result frominfractions under provincial cannabis legislation; fine revenue from these offencesremains with municipal governments.

Prepared by AMD, March 9, 2018

Page 12 of 52

What else is the Government of Ontario undertaking?

In addition to the OPP and own force policing and public health supports, Ontario will:o Increase capacity at the Province's Centre of Forensic Sciences to support

toxicological testing and expert testimony.o Develop a program to divert youth involved in minor cannabis-related offences

away from the criminal justice system.o Provide public health units with support and resources that will assist in meeting

their mandate to address local needs related to cannabis legalization.o Raise awareness of the new provincial rules that will take effect when cannabis is

legalized federally.

What is the Federal-Provincial/Territorial Cannabis Excise Tax Agreement?

In brief:

In December 2017, federal, provincial, and territorial Finance Ministers agreed to:o Share cannabis revenues 25/75 per cent for the federal and provincial/territorial

governments respectively.o Cap the federal portion at $100 million maximum; anything above $100 million

would be distributed to the provinces/territories.o Review the FPT Agreement at the end of two years post legalization.

As noted by Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the federal government reduced itsoriginally proposed cannabis excise tax share of 50% to 25% in recognition of municipalgovernment responsibilities and the federal expectation is that costs municipal governmentsacross the country would incur see some benefit as a result.

htt. s://www. canada. ca/en/de artment-finance/news/2017/12/canada s financeministersreacha reementoncannabistaxation.htmi.

When will cannabis be legalized?

This will depend on the passage of the federal Bills that are before the Senate and when theyreceive Royal Assent and a date provided. AMO will monitor this and keep municipalgovernments informed.
