The entire draft 2018 budget was presented at the November 13th Administration and Finance Committee of the Whole meeting At the time of the presentation staff had not been notified of the 2018 OMPF allocation so assumed the same budgeted amount from 2017 Since that meeting staff has received notification that an additional $7890000 plus a$550000 grant for court security and prisoner transportation costs have beeh allocated for 2018

As well staff has made a minor modification to the funding in the Public Works Department capital by taking $12000000 from Federal Gas Tax and applying this funding to water amp wastewater capital and adding OCIF formula based funding of $12259200 to fund roads projects

The effect of this additional funding has decreased the overall deficit to $10201600 which results in a tax levy increase of 217

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

As well staff has made a minor modification to the funding in the Public Works Department capital by taking $12000000 from Federal Gas Tax and applying this funding to water amp wastewater capital and adding OCIF formula based funding of $12259200 to fund roads projects

The effect of this additional funding has decreased the overall deficit to $10201600 which results in a tax levy increase of 217

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

FTTT Farm Managed Forest 000158799 $15880

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

FTTT Farm Managed Forest 000158799 $15880

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

As well staff has made a minor modification to the funding in the Public Works Department capital by taking $12000000 from Federal Gas Tax and applying this funding to water amp wastewater capital and adding OCIF formula based funding of $12259200 to fund roads projects

The effect of this additional funding has decreased the overall deficit to $10201600 which results in a tax levy increase of 217

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

FTTT Farm Managed Forest 000158799 $15880

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

The entire draft 2018 budget was presented at the November 13th Administration and Finance Committee of the Whole meeting At the time of the presentation staff had not been notified of the 2018 OMPF allocation so assumed the same budgeted amount from 2017 Since that meeting staff has received notification that an additional $7890000 plus a$550000 grant for court security and prisoner transportation costs have beeh allocated for 2018

As well staff has made a minor modification to the funding in the Public Works Department capital by taking $12000000 from Federal Gas Tax and applying this funding to water amp wastewater capital and adding OCIF formula based funding of $12259200 to fund roads projects

The effect of this additional funding has decreased the overall deficit to $10201600 which results in a tax levy increase of 217

Attached are the following ~ A summary of the draft 2018 operating amp capital ~ A summary of the draft 2018 capital ~ A detail report of the draft 2018 capital ~ Draft capital for consideration reports from each department

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

FTTT Farm Managed Forest 000158799 $15880

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

The entire draft 2018 budget was presented at the November 13th Administration and Finance Committee of the Whole meeting At the time of the presentation staff had not been notified of the 2018 OMPF allocation so assumed the same budgeted amount from 2017 Since that meeting staff has received notification that an additional $7890000 plus a$550000 grant for court security and prisoner transportation costs have beeh allocated for 2018

As well staff has made a minor modification to the funding in the Public Works Department capital by taking $12000000 from Federal Gas Tax and applying this funding to water amp wastewater capital and adding OCIF formula based funding of $12259200 to fund roads projects

The effect of this additional funding has decreased the overall deficit to $10201600 which results in a tax levy increase of 217

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

FTTT Farm Managed Forest 000158799 $15880

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

FTTT Farm Managed Forest 000158799 $15880

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

FTTT Farm Managed Forest 000158799 $15880

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

FTTT Farm Managed Forest 000158799 $15880

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

The assessment reduction was due to several structures that were demolished some time ago being removed from the property Based on the review the analyst removed summer kitchen detached garage two barns and two sheds The owner had indicated that these were removed about 8 years ago Adjustments were also due to adding of site codes including 11-25 swamp and 51-75 treed on the property

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

FTTT Farm Managed Forest 000158799 $15880

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

The assessment reduction was due to several structures that were demolished some time ago being removed from the property Based on the review the analyst removed summer kitchen detached garage two barns and two sheds The owner had indicated that these were removed about 8 years ago Adjustments were also due to adding of site codes including 11-25 swamp and 51-75 treed on the property

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

FTTT Farm Managed Forest 000158799 $15880

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

FTTT Farm Managed Forest 000158799 $15880

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

FTTT Farm Managed Forest 000158799 $15880

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

FTTT Farm Managed Forest 000158799 $15880

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

FTTT Farm Managed Forest 000158799 $15880

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

The assessment reduction was due to several structures that were demolished some time ago being removed from the property Based on the review the analyst removed summer kitchen detached garage two barns and two sheds The owner had indicated that these were removed about 8 years ago Adjustments were also due to adding of site codes including 11-25 swamp and 51-75 treed on the property

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

FTTT Farm Managed Forest 000158799 $15880

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

FTTT Farm Managed Forest 000158799 $15880

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Department Economic Development

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

FTTT Farm Managed Forest 000158799 $15880

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

FTTT Farm Managed Forest 000158799 $15880

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

Topic ARB Appeals Representative

Purpose To delegate the municipalitys authority for the collection of property taxes and the related assessment maintenance to the Treasurer as required by Assessment Review Boards new rules and procedures

Background Sections 39 and 40 of the Assessment Act allows that any person including a municipality may appeal to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) orthe Assessment Review Board (ARB) that a property assessment may be too high too low wrongly classified or omitted from the assessment roll The delegation of the authority for staff to perform the tasks associated with these appeals and the related collection of property taxes will allow them to be performed in an efficient and expedient manner

Reaching an agreement and settlement with the property owner and MPAC on any possible correction required and processing an adjustment to the property tax account will conclude the mediation or settlement conference andor reconsideration and appeal Should the Township MPAC and the property oWner not be able to reach an agreement the appeal Will ultimately be heard and decided by the ARB

As of April 1st 2017 the ARB is implementing new Rules and procedures Now included is a mandatory requirement to hold mediation andor settlement conferences before scheduling hearings To participate in mediation the Township must authorize its appeals representative to make and accept settlement offers at the time (Rule 87) Without this binding authority the Township would not be allowed to participate in any mediation event or settlement conference and would be deemed to not oppose any settlement

The Township has an assessment base of over $788 million This base must be managed to ensure that property tax is levied and collected in a fair and equitable way This base is challenged every year through property assessment and property tax appeals

Page lofl

Section 231 of the Municipal Act requires that a by-law must be enacted for Council to delegate its authorities to staff and section 286 of the Municipal Act allows that Council may permit the Treasurer to delegate hisher authority related to the collection of taxes

Policy Implications Resolution 2001-336 stated that Municipal Council delegates the authority to the Clerk-Treasurer-Tax Collector to accept or appeal minutes of settlement between MPAC and taxpayers for changes in property tax classes and for assessment reductions up to $10000000 The following table demonstrates the townships portion of a tax write off of $10000000 for each tax class

FTTT Farm Managed Forest 000158799 $15880

Financial Considerations There is no immediate budgetary impact to this delegation however there should be a positive impact realized as new processes are implemented that will reduce the Townships costs for outside assistance as well as protection of the Townships assessment base The annual budget identifies an amount for tax write offs of approximately $3500000 Tax write offs occur for various reasons such as requests for reconsideration appeals demolitions under form 357 and vacancy rebates There are currently 5 appeals with the Assessment Review Board

Recommendation That Committee recommends

1 That Council delegate authority to initiate and file notices of assessment appeal for any property in the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal with the Assessment Review Board (lithe ARB) to the Treasuret

2 That Council delegate authority to withdraw any appeal filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal should it be determined that it is not in the Townships best interest to proceed to the Treasurer

3 That Council delegate authority to attend any Mediation or Settlement Conferences on property tax or assessment matter as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

Page 2 of2

4 That Council delegate authority to attend before the Assessment Review Board on property tax or assessment matters as a party to all appeals whether filed by the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal or another person entity or agent to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

5 That Council delegate authority to execute settlement agreements on behalf of the Township of EdwardsburghCardinal reached in the course of a taxation or property assessment appeal mediation or settlement conference to the Treasurer or a designate specified by council resolution

6 And that a by-law be drafted to reflect these items of delegated authority related to tax assessment

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

Topic Butternut Compensation Project

Purpose To enter into a four-year memorandum of agreement between the Township South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council and to set fees for future development

Background Following the discovery of butternut trees on Clayton Jones property in the industrial park area and the resulting requirement for a compensation project the Township entered into an MOA with SNC and the Stewardship Council for the planting and monitoring of a butternut grove on Township-owned land on Blair Road

The butternut grove project is creating quite a lot of interest with developers in our region looking for ways to satisfy the IVlNRF requirements and free up land use capacity I have been in talks with a developer from North Grenville as well as with rvlPP Steve Clarks office

The initial agreement was for one year only All costs for the project were billed to the developer

The initial planting requires a five-year monitoring program and SNC and the Stewardship Council have agreed to enter into a longer-term agreement to ensure that the project continues and that the developers investment is protected The draft agreement is attached

As new plantings are done the agreement will need to be renewed or extended

Policy Implications Butternuts are considered a species at risk and are subject to MNRF regulations Butternuts were identified on the lands that were sold to Giant Tiger and a compensation project will be required when GT expands to the north as per their stated intent

Page lof2

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees

BY-LAW NO 2017shy

A BY-LAW TO ENDORSE THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANu

Financial Considerations The initial project costs amounted to $12662 for 39 butternut seedlings and were borne by Clayton Jones There are ongoing costs associated with monitoring the seedlings estimated to be $6500 per year

The interest level from developers in the region is sufficient that staff believes revenues can be generated to cover the anticipated costs The proposed fee structure is as follows

Planting fee $500 per butternut seedling Monitoring fee $200 per butternut seedling per year

We do not propose billing Mr Jones any future monitoring costs for the initial planting

There may be a deficit in the program initially but once sufficient revenues are realized excess funds may be placed in a reserve against future monitoring costs

Recommendation That Committee recommends that Council

1 Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the Township and South Nation Conservation and Leeds Grenville Stewardship for the planting of butternut trees at Part Lot 13 Concession 1 (Blair Road)

2 Establish a fee schedule for planting and monitoring of butternut trees
