CLUB
The Committee considered Community Services Department report CSD-12-033, dated
February 15, 2012, regarding the Kitchener-Waterloo Predators Volleyball Club becoming an
affiliated minor sport group within the City; and, having insurance coverage through the City’s
Minor Sport Third Party Liability Insurance policy.
Councillor J. Gazzola requested clarification on the Third Party Liability Insurance Policy and
whether the Kitchener-Waterloo Volleyball Club has requested affiliation status with the City of
Waterloo, or whether the City will be accepting the majority of the Club’s liability. He stated
that of the 537 registered athletes, there are only 237 Kitchener residents that are enrolled in
the program. Mr. B. Cheyne advised the Club has also sought affiliation status from the City of
Waterloo. He indicated that staff have been in contact with the City of Waterloo and they will
be recommending approval of a similar status with them. He stated there would be no greater
risk to the City regarding liability as it is a shared responsibility across all municipalities with
similar affiliation.
Councillor S. Davey requested an amendment to the recommendation to approve the affiliation
status for the Volleyball Club pending their ability to obtain similar status with the City of
Waterloo.
On motion by Councillor D. Glenn-Graham -
it was resolved:
“That subject to the approval of affiliation status with the City of Waterloo, the Kitchener
Waterloo Predators Volleyball Club be approved, as an affiliated minor sport group with
the City of Kitchener, pursuant to the City’s Minor Sport Affiliation policy; and further,

Councillor B. Ioannidis declared a pecuniary interest and did not participate in any discussion
or voting with respect to this matter, as he owns a property in the Downtown.
The Committee considered Infrastructure Services Department report INS-12-008, dated
February 21, 2012, regarding an amendment to the Uniform Traffic By-law for the on-street
parking regulations on King Street between Benton Street and Francis Street.
Councillor J. Gazzola requested clarification on whether the Kitchener Downtown Business
Improvement Area (BIA) was contacted regarding the proposed amendments to the on-street
parking regulations and whether they were in agreement to the changes. Mr. J. McBride
indicated that the amendment to the Traffic By-Law is more housekeeping in nature to regulate
the on-street parking established through the King Street re-design. He stated that
construction is now complete and the By-law needs to be reflective of the parking that now
exists. He further advised that the BIA was contacted and they are in agreement with the new
regulations.
On motion by Councillor D. Glenn-Graham -
it was resolved:
“That Schedules 1, 2 (Downtown Core), 5 and 24 of the City of Kitchener Uniform Traffic
By-Law No. 2007-138 be amended as outlined in Appendix B to Infrastructure Services

CSD-12-032 - 2012 TIER 2 COMMUNITY GRANTS FUNDING
5.
The Committee considered Community Services Department report CSD-12-032, dated
February 15, 2012, in which staff recommend the awarding of Tier 2 grants for 2012. The
report contains background information noting that the groups recommended for funding will
align with the community’s overall goals and the City’s strategic priorities. Ms. K. Woodcock
and Ms. R. Willms presented the report. Ms. Woodcock further advised that 2 delegations
were registered to attend this meeting; however, the representative from the Cherry Park
Neighbourhood Association was unable to attend this date.
Mr. Scott Piatkowski, Tier 2 Grant Peer Review Committee member, advised that the
Community Grants are subject to a three stage evaluation process: stage 1 includes a basic
review of the applications in comparison to the primary grant criteria; stage 2 includes a review
of the proceeding applications against the secondary grant criteria; and, stage 3 includes a full
review by the Peer and Staff Review Committee using the guiding principles to determine the
recommended grant allocations. He stated that this year’s budget for the 2012 Tier 2 grants
totalled $134,216. He indicated that the Review Committee is recommending the total
allocation of $132,328. be granted, leaving an unallocated balance of $1,888.
Ms. J. Lee and Ms. L. Jack Brauweiler, Kitchener-Waterloo Poetry Slam were in attendance in
support of staff’s grant recommendation. Ms. Lee noted that their next Poetry Slam event
would be held on March 30, 2012 and invited all members of Council to attend.
On motion by Councillor Y. Fernandes -
it was resolved:
“That a 2012 Community Grant Tier 2 in the amount of $2,860. for the Kitchener-
Waterloo Poetry Slam be approved.”
Councillor J. Gazzola requested clarification on the Tier 2 Community Grant budget noting that
Appendix B indicates that in 2011 the City approved $91,679. in Community Grants and in
2012 the proposed recommendation is considerably higher at an amount of $132,328. Ms. R.
Willms stated that the 2011 total noted in Appendix B does not represent the total 2011 grants
approved as not all groups re-apply each year. Often groups receive a Tier 2 Community
Grant for a one-time special event. She indicated that the chart reflects groups that applied
received funding in 2011 who have applied again in 2012 as well as new groups applying for
the first time. She noted that the total budget for 2011 was approximately $144,000.; which
was ultimately overspent due to appeals that Council approved for funding.
In response to questions, Ms. Willms advised that the number of applications received for 2012
was relatively average. She stated that in 2011 the grant funding requests totalled
approximately $450,000.; whereas the grant requests for 2012 totalled approximately
$300,000.
Councillor Gazzola questioned the recommendation for the eyeGO to the Arts community
group and whether their Tier 2 funding would be similar in nature to the Tier 1 funding they
already receive. Ms. Willms advised that eyeGO to the Arts requested a Tier 2 grant to host a

CSD-12-032 - 2012 TIER 2 COMMUNITY GRANTS FUNDING (CONT’D)

th
special event in conjunction with the City’s 100 anniversary. Councillor Gazzola questioned
th
whether their event could be funded through the City’s 100 anniversary budget allocation. In
response, Ms. Willms stated that it was likely a timing issue as the group would not have been
aware of the 100th anniversary grant opportunities prior to the 2012 Tier 2 grant deadline.
Councillor Gazzola questioned the recommendation for the Kitchener Downtown Business
Improvement Area (BIA) grant for their Canada Day celebration. He questioned whether the
Canada Day event could be an additional special event that the City could partner in. Mr. J.
Young advised that the BIA plans on hosting a Canada Day event; it may be a special event
the City would like to participate in, but we are not interested in partnering with them as an
event host at this time.
Councillor Gazzola questioned why the Grand Philharmonic Choir was recommended for a
2012 Community Grant for an event that was occurring in 2013. Ms. Willms stated that groups
are permitted to apply for events that occur early in the following year.
In response to questions regarding the grant funding recommended for the Strong Start, Ms.
Woodcock advised that they are a not-for-profit group that offers programs through educational
facilities; however, the Review Committee felt that their programs were additional educational
opportunities that are not being achieved through the local school boards.
Councillor Gazzola requested clarification on the eligibility criteria and whether consideration
had been given to the Steckle Heritage Farm and whether providing them with a grant was in
turn, allowing them to hand out grants to the community by hosting free Family Sundays. Ms.
Willms indicated that the recommendation is for an ‘in kind’ grant to cover the cost of their ads
in the Kitchener Leisure Magazine.
Councillor F. Etherington questioned why the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery was
recommended for refusal. In response to questions, Ms. Willms advised that, for Tier 1 grant
organizations, Tier 2 grants are meant as a one-time funding source. The Grant Review
Committee determined that the request appeared to be for operating funds and therefore did
not meet the criteria. She stated that the Committee also felt, as the organization receives
funding through the Tier 1 grant process and the arts and culture sustainability fund, if there
were additional funding opportunities available to them, that their request was of a lower
priority in comparison to some of the other grant requests.
Councillor Etherington further advised that the delegation from Cherry Park Neighbourhood
Association was not able to attend this meeting and has asked that consideration of their
application be deferred to the March 5, 2012 Council meeting at which time she can attend.
Councillor S. Davey questioned when the grant process for 2013 would begin and how the
budget for the grant program is allocated. Mr. D. Chapman advised that Council Policy I-525
(Community Investment Policy) has an established formula to determine the budget allotment
for the Community Grant program. Ms. Willms noted that the grants are advertised annually
around August / September with an anticipated application deadline of early November.
Councillor Y. Fernandes requested clarification on the grant recommendation for Inter Arts
Matrix. She stated that the group intends on using the funds for operating which would
potentially mean that they would require more than a one-time funding source. Ms. Willms
stated that groups may request a Tier 2 Grant for operating funds, and noted that any group
that is recommended for a Tier 2 Grant for 5 consecutive years would then be eligible for
funding through the Tier 1 Grant process. Councillor Fernandes stated that groups requesting
funds for operating should be encouraged to seek a more sustainable funding source.
Councillor Fernandes also referred to Strong Start, stating that groups providing educational
programs through the local schools should be encouraged to seek partnerships with the
School Board rather than requesting grant funding through the City.She requested further
clarification on the Waterloo County Rugby Football Club and whether their request was meant
to establish rugby programs in the local schools. Mr. B. Cheyne advised that the Club intends
on using their funding to establish a marketing campaign within the local schools to encourage

participation. Councillor Fernandes questioned whether there were more appropriate funding
sources through provincial programs; such as, “participaction” for funding of this nature. In
response, Mr. Cheyne advised that there are additional grant opportunities for sporting groups
to assist with promoting their programs; however, the Rugby Club missed their opportunity to
apply for other potential funding options, and chose to apply for a Community Grant as an
alternative. Councillor Fernandes questioned why the Rugby Club was only recommended for
one of their requested grants. Ms. Willms stated that the grant request that was refused was
for operating costs and the Committee felt that they had a surplus of funds to meet their
operating needs. She indicated that the recommended grant is for a special program that
could not be accommodated through their operating funds.
Councillor K. Galloway questioned whether the City had a method in place to recall the
approved funding if the Waterloo County Rugby Football Club was not able to implement their
promotional program within the local schools. Mr. Cheyne advised the Rugby Club has
already established their required partnerships to implement their marketing program.
On motion by Councillor F. Etherington -
it was resolved:
“That consideration of a 2012 Community Tier 2 grant for the Cherry Park
Neighbourhood Association (Cherry Festival) in the amount of $7,000., as outlined in
be referred to the
Appendix B to Community Services Department report CSD-12-032,
March 5, 2012 Council meeting
to allow opportunity for a representative of the
Association to speak to their grant request.”
On motion by Councillor B. Vrbanovic, the balance of the 2012 Tier 2 Community Grants were
brought forward for consideration.
Councillor J. Gazzola requested that the grant for the Waterloo County Rugby Football Club for
the implementation of a youth development program in physical education classes throughout
local elementary and high schools, be dealt with separately.
On motion by Councillor B. Vrbanovic -
it was resolved:
“That a 2012 Community Grant Tier 2 in the amount of $4,352. ($4,000. cash; $352. in
kind) for the Waterloo County Rugby Football Club be approved.”
On motion by Councillor B. Vrbanovic -
it was resolved:
“That the balance of the 2012 Community Grants Tier 2 in the amount of $118,116. be
approved as outlined in Appendix B to Community Services Department report CSD-12-
032.”
INS-12-011 - CYCLING ADVISORY COMMITTEE 2012 PRIORITIES
6.
The Committee considered Infrastructure Services Department report INS-12-011, dated
February 15, 2012, regarding the Cycling Advisory Committee’s 2012 Priorities.
Ms. M. Sahl, Chair, Cycling Advisory Committee presented an overview of the Committee’s
activities outlining: the Committee’s mandate; their previous accomplishments; and, their top
five priorities for 2012. She advised that one of their initiatives in 2011 was surveying the
members of Council to help determine the Committee’s overall expectations going forward.
She indicated that three things were clearly identified: Council believe that both cyclists and
motorists require more education on sharing the road and providing a safe environment; they
were interested in hearing updates from the Committee once or twice yearly; and, several
Councillor’s see the Committee’s primary function to advocate for the implementation of the
Cycling Master Plan. In addition, Ms. Sahl further advised that through the survey the majority
of Council also showed interest in participating in a community ride with the members of the

Cycling Advisory Committee. She stated that the Committee has proposed a “Councillors’
Ride”; which will provide a greater understanding of what the City looks like through the eyes
of a cyclist. She stated that the ride is currently being proposed for May or June 2012.
Councillor J. Gazzola commended the Committee on their accomplishments and questioned
whether their top 5 priorities would likely be accomplished in 2012. Mr. R. Schirm advised that
the Iron Horse Trail Railway Crossing; the CMP Sign Project: Victoria Park to Highway 401;
and, the Wilson Avenue Primary Commuter Trail Link Repairs, have already been schedule for
work anticipated to begin in Spring 2012.
Councillor F. Etherington questioned whether the proposed changes for Iron Horse Trail
Railway Crossing were definitely going ahead in Spring 2012. Mr. Schirm stated that the
project is currently in its final design stages and budget consideration, and the work is
anticipated to be completed sometime this year.
Councillor B. Ioannidis questioned whether there will be an improved cycling connection on
Margaret Avenue between Kitchener and Waterloo. Mr. Schirm advised that the Regional
Cycling Route maps identify connectivity issues and the Committee has proposed to put up
signs in that area to help improve the linkages in that area.
CAO-12-007 - BELMONT AVENUE PUBLIC ART
7.
The Committee considered Chief Administrator’s Office report CAO-12-007, dated February
10, 2012, regarding the installation of a public art piece on Belmont Avenue as part of the
streetscape reconstruction. Ms. C. York reviewed the report.
Councillor J. Gazzola questioned why the reconstruction project on Belmont Avenue was
eligible for a 1% budget allocation for the commission and installation of public art and whether
there was a public art component for the King Street streetscape project.Ms. C. York stated
that the King Street reconstruction project also had a public art component; the art piece was
selected through a similar process; and, has been installed at Speakers Corner, on the corner
of Frederick Street and Benton Street. Councillor F. Etherington requested further clarification
as to why the Park Street reconstruction project did not receive a public art budget allocation.
Mr. J. Willmer advised that the Belmont Avenue project involved substantial improvement to
the streetscape; whereas, the Park Street reconstruction project had no streetscape
improvements, remaining basically as it existed. He advised that any time a construction
project is a streetscape redesign a 1% budget allocation is established for the installation of
public art.
On motion by Councillor Z. Janecki -
it was resolved:
“That the commission and installation of an outdoor wall mural (untitled) at 696 Belmont
Avenue West be approved; and,
That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute an agreement, satisfactory to the
City Solicitor, with Larry Hunter outlining the obligations of the public art commission;
and further,
That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute an agreement, satisfactory to the
City Solicitor, with the owner of the building at 696 Belmont Avenue West regarding the

CSD-12-024 - GOLF OPERATIONS REVIEW
8.
The Committee considered Community Services Department report CSD-12-024, dated
February 21, 2012, regarding an operational review of the golf enterprise to determine whether
financial or operational improvements can be achieved.
Councillor J. Gazzola questioned whether the proposed three week timeline was long enough
COMMUNITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES COMMITTEE
FEBRUARY 27, 2012 - 18 - CITY OF KITCHENER
CSD-12-024 - GOLF OPERATIONS REVIEW (CONT’D)
8.
to engage the public and report back to the March 19, 2012 Committee meeting and
whether staff were trying to achieve any of the proposed initiatives within the report for the
2012 golf season. Ms. K. Kugler advised that staff have already started to engage the public
by collecting contact information from people interested in staying informed about any
proposed changes to the golf enterprise. She stated that although the public consultation
timeline is short, staff has proposed a significant online communication strategy; as well as, a
public open house to seek the majority of their feedback.
Councillor Y. Fernandes agreed that the public engagement timeline is short and many of the
City’s regular golfers maybe out of the country for the winter months. Councillor Z. Janecki
questioned whether there was the potential to extend the public engagement process by
another month and have staff report back to the Committee at the April Standing Committee.
Councillor K. Galloway pointed out that that this would result in a one month delay.
Ms. Kugler advised that a one month deferral would be problematic in terms of being able to
plan for implementation of the proposed recommendations. She stated staff will be starting to
develop their 2013 budgets in June 2012 and anticipate that implementation of the proposed
recommendations will have budget implications. Accordingly the proposed deferral may impact
the 2013 golf season.
Councillor D. Glenn-Graham advised that the executive summary within the report was quite
extensive and there are a number of positive suggestions that have been identified. He stated
that he was in support of the proposed recommendations, including the reporting date of
March 19, 2012.
Councillor S. Davey requested clarification as to whether all of the proposed recommendations
were anticipated for 2013 or whether staff were considering implementing any of the proposed
changes for the 2012 golf season. He stated, in his opinion, there were a number of initiatives
that were straight forward and could potentially be achieved this year. Ms. Kugler advised that
the larger recommendations deal specifically with the operating model and are anticipated for
the 2013 golf season; she agreed that there are a number of smaller initiatives that could
potentially be achieved for the 2012 golf season.
On motion by Councillor J. Gazzola -
it was resolved:
“That the NGF Consulting Operations Report attached as Appendix ‘1’ to Community
Services Department report CSD-12-024 (February 21, 2012), be tabled; and,
That staff be directed to engage the community, including one public open house to
review the recommendations and operating models for the City’s golf courses; and
further,
That staff be directed to report back to the March 19, 2012 Community & Infrastructure
Services Committee meeting with the results of the public feedback and
recommendations on the proposed operating model for the future for the City’s golf
courses. ”

contracts with a formula to better reflect a per-call rate vs. the current rate. He stated that the
new formula will take into consideration the actual cost for fire communications.
Councillor Gazzola questioned what the City of Waterloo should currently be paying for the use
of Kitchener’s Fire communications. In response to questions, Chief Beckett advised that
currently the City of Waterloo pays $244,000. with an annual increase of 3%. He indicated that
with the per-call rate formula the City of Waterloo would be paying approximately $307,000.
Councillor Z. Janecki questioned why the Township of Woolwich was being recommended for
a 3 year agreement, when the Township of Wellesley and the City of Waterloo were being
recommended for 5 year agreements. Chief Beckett advised that through the contract
negotiations Woolwich preferred a 3-year term.
Councillor Janecki requested further clarification on how long it has been since the City has
negotiated a new service contract with the City of Waterloo. He indicated that the Woolwich
and Wellesley are renewals of a previous 2 year agreement. Chief Beckett advised that the
City has been trying to implement a new agreement with Waterloo since 2002. He stated that
there have been significant management changes in Kitchener and in Waterloo and that has
delayed negotiation of a new agreement.
In response to questions, Chief Beckett stated for clarification Kitchener Fire does not provide
fire services to the Townships or the City of Waterloo, rather the agreements are strictly for fire
communication.

operations provided to the two Townships and the City of Waterloo over the past three years.
