JANUARY 24, 2011 CITY OF KITCHENER
The Council of the City of Kitchener met this date with all members present.
The meeting began with the singing of "O Canada" by Victoria Whiteman, King School of Vocal.
On motion by Councillor B. loannidis, the minutes of the regular meeting held January 10, 2011 and
special meetings held January 10 & 17, 2011, as mailed to the Mayor and Councillors, were accepted.
COMMUNICATIONS REFERRED DIRECTLY TO FILE -NIL
Mayor C. Zehr presented Ms. C. Ladd, Chief Administrative Officer, with a commemorative pin in
recognition of her 25 years of service with the City of Kitchener and congratulated her on past
accomplishments, including creation of the Economic Development Investment Fund (EDIF) and
completion of the first comprehensive Strategic Plan, inclusive of a People Plan, for the Corporation.
Mr. Jeff Stager, Immediate Past President, Waterloo Federation of Agriculture, presented information
arising from a 2006 Census Bulletin on agriculture, highlighting statistical data designed to recognize
the importance of the food system in creating healthy communities and to assist the broader
community to better understand the nature and economic significance in terms of dollars and jobs of
the local agricultural economy and food system. Mr. Stager suggested that consideration should be
given to funding the agricultural industry to forward environmental initiatives that will assist in
achieving a return to environmentally friendly farming. A magazine entitled "The Real Dirt on
Farming", published by the Ontario Farm Animal Council, was circulated this date and Mr. Stager
extended an invitation to those present to attend the International Plowing Match & Rural Expo to be
held in Roseville, Ontario, on September 18-22, 2012.
Mr. James Huxted, resident, attended in regard to Clauses 6 and 7 of the Community and
Infrastructure Services Committee report, dealing with awarding of Tender T10-094 for the Homer
Watson Pumping Station Upgrade project and extension of the purchase order for consulting services
associated with the upgrades and an emergency storage unit. Mr. Huxted raised concerns regarding
the environmental impact of the planned construction on the floodplain, questioning how the City can
justify proceeding without completion of an Environmental Assessment. He commented that there
are no cost estimates for any alternative locations to compare to the preferred location and while an
emergency storage unit is desirable, he questioned if it must be constructed in the specified location.
He suggested that more time is needed to consider these matters; however, in the event the project is
approved, he asked that his daughter's request for an emergency evacuation route to and from her
property during construction be granted.
Councillor Y. Fernandes asked the delegation what alternative locations he would consider to be
viable. Mr. Huxted questioned the appropriateness of the size of the emergency storage unit,
suggesting that it not be built initially to the proposed capacity but rather be adjusted in size to allow
realignment in front or to the opposite side of the pumping station; or alternatively, be relocated
across Homer Watson Boulevard. Councillor J. Gazzola questioned what impact the storage unit has
to the floodplain if buried underground. Mr. Huxted commented that to his limited knowledge it would
have no immediate impact; however, he raised concerns of long term erosion to the creek banks from
increased flows, as well as, the impact of a sudden surge of water during high water periods.
Mr. J. Willmer, Deputy CAO, Community Services, advised that the Huxteds have previously
appeared before Committee and Council and all of the questions raised this date have already been
answered by staff. In regard to the requested emergency evacuation, he stated that the proposed
construction will in no way hamper egress /ingress from Ms. Huxted's property. He added that on
review of the request it was determined not to be in the City's best interest to provide emergency
routing through the pumping station lands. He pointed out that the City gates and locks access to the
pumping station for reasons of security and it would be inappropriate to expect staff in times of
emergency response to remember to unlock the gate for private passage. He pointed out that in the
event of flooding persons can still drive away from the property if known in time; or alternatively, they
can walk from the property to higher ground.
Councillor Y. Fernandes requested clarification of the delegation's concerns regarding the lack of an
Environmental Assessment and alternative locations. Mr. J. Willmer advised that an analysis was
completed of alternative locations which were found not to be feasible; and while reducing
dimensions and / or adjusting the depth of the storage unit may be possible, doing so will increase
costing and comes with associated risks in accommodating the same volumes. He added that there
is no question constructing an emergency storage unit within a floodplain deserves close scrutiny and

Mr. L. Gordon, Director of Supply Services, was in attendance with respect to the tenders listed on the
Committee of the Whole agenda.
Mayor C. Zehr advised that Finance and Corporate Services Department report FCS-11-013 (Q10-
076 -Two G.V.W. Standard Vans), listed as Item B.1 i) on the Committee of the Whole agenda, is
being withdrawn to allow staff to further consider the specifications associated with the Quotation.

"That Tender T10-136, Gas and Water Infrastructure Locating, be awarded to 1010360
Ontario Inc., o/a G-Tel Engineering, London, Ontario, at their reduced tendered price of
$247,787., plus H.S.T. of $32,213., for a total of $280,000. for one year, with an option to
renew for two (2) additional twelve (12) month terms."
Carried.
Several members of Council raised concerns with Proposal P10-069 (Electronic Key Management
System) relative to the Consolidated Maintenance Facility (CMF), listed as Item B.1 ii) on the
Committee of the Whole agenda. The necessity of the proposed system was questioned and what
savings is expected to be achieved if approved.
Ms. P. Houston advised that the proposed improvement to key management is part of an overall
review of current processes moving to the CMF and through the electronic system, the City will be
able to facilitate greater access to, and sharing of, equipment. Better control will provide ease of
access to keys and reduce replacement costs resulting from loss of keys. Ms. Houston stated that it
is difficult to quantify savings as savings is factored into the overall efficiencies gained through review
and improvement to all existing processes.
Councillor B. Vrbanovic suggested that while initially it may appear excessive, the move to the CMF
will require more effort as the management of equipment and keys will become more complex with
the number of vehicles and staff now to be housed together under one roof. He suggested that
having a sense of what the City spends now on key management may help in justifying the proposed
electronic system and questioned the impact of deferring consideration of the Proposal to the special
Council meeting of February 7, 2011. Ms. Ladd reiterated that this stems from direction given to
create efficiencies with the move to the CMF and while this is a simple matter in the larger context, it
will allow better security for the City's fleet. She added that it is also important to have the ability to
track equipment usage in that, the data collected can be used in managing work flows. Mayor C.
Zehr expressed the opinion that it would not be prudent to the City's initial investment in the new
facility to discount systems meant to achieve efficiencies and encouraged Council to consider this
matter in the larger context.
A motion by Councillor B. Vrbanovic, seconded by Councillor P. Singh, was brought forward to defer
consideration of Proposal P10-069 (Electronic Key Management System) to the February 7, 2011

Mayor C. Zehr advised that Regional Council recently passed a resolution requesting additional
information and provision of options relative to the Light Rail Transit (LRT) proposal. An information
report is to be tabled on January 25, 2011 with the Regional Planning & Works Committee (RPWC).
The report is to provide an overview of the process to date, as well as a timeframe for moving forward
which includes further public consultations. Mayor Zehr advised that Kitchener Council will have
opportunity to comment on this issue during the period of public consultations to be held in the
months of February /March. He added that he has concerns the timeframe may be too tight and has
conveyed same to the RPWC, together with a request to consider either specific timing for each area
Council to have a presentation or for a presentation to be made at an All Councils meeting.
Councillor Z. Janecki referred to a matter dealt with by the previous Council concerning the potential
sale of certain park land and / or green space. He stated that it was his understanding that following
the decision not to declare the lands identified as surplus to the City's needs, that all were to be
rezoned to reflect an open space use and questioned if this has been done. Mr. J. Willmer advised
that staff had been directed to undertake any necessary rezoning where required; however, all lands
already have such designation applied, save and except lands at Lancaster Street /General Drive.
He noted that Council took a different approach with that particular parcel of land because of its
potential to be developed as part of a mixed use node. Councillor Janecki inquired as to the status of
lands adjacent to Lakeside Park. Mr. Willmer advised that this particular parcel was a separate issue
and relates to privately owned lands currently zoned residential. The City is of the opinion the parcel
is not developable due to its topographical nature; however, the property owner remains opposed to a
change in zoning and should the City attempt to down zone the parcel, it may be subject to a law suit.
Councillor Y. Fernandes requested a listing of City-owned surplus lands currently in inventory. Ms. C.
Ladd advised that many are tiny pieces of land, primarily left over from road widenings, which are
identified only by a Reference Plan number that would have no meaning to Council. She stated that
time needs to be taken to appropriately categorize these lands so the listing will be comprehensive to
Council, and which may include: parcels large enough for potential development; parcels with some
development constraints; parcels that may appropriately be offered to adjacent property owners; and,
parcels so miniscule in size they are not worth following up on due to the costs associated in
undertaking the necessary legal administration.
Council agreed to the request of Mr. R. Gosse, Director of Legislated Services & City Clerk, to add
one additional by-law for three readings this date, being a by-law to extend Interim Control By-law No.
2010-032, relative to Clause 5 of the Community & Infrastructure Services Committee report.

Seconded by Councillor K. Galloway
