FINANCE & ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MINUTES
CITY OF KITCHENER
The Finance and Administration Committee met this date commencing at 10:10 a.m. under the
Chairmanship of Councillor J. Ziegler with the following members present: Mayor R. Christy, Councillors
T. Galloway, M. Wagner, M. Yantzi, John Smola, Jake Smola, B. Vrbanovic, C. Weylie and K. Taylor-
Harrison.
Others present: Ms. P. Houston, Ms. L. MacDonald, Ms. V. Gibaut, Ms. L. Pasternak, Mrs. J. Koppeser,
Ms. D. Arnold, Messrs. J. Gazzola, R. W. Pritchard, L. F. Parkhouse, J. Shivas, R. Arnot, L. Gordon, R.
Wyatt, G. Nixon and G. Sosnoski.
1. LIABILITY CLAIM - GOLF BALL DAMAGE (KEATING)
The Committee was in receipt of correspondence from Ms. Carolyn Keating requesting
compensation for damages to her home adjacent to the Rockway Golf Club resulting from an
errant golf ball. They were also in receipt of a report from N. Chambers dated August 1, 1997
recommending no action on the claim, as well as a report from G. Kett dated August 5, 1997
commenting on the City's current policy with respect to golf ball damage at the Rockway Golf Club.
Ms. Carolyn Keating appeared to appeal the staff decision denying her claim, noting that several
of her neighbours have received compensation for golf ball damage and questioned why she has
been treated differently. Ms. Keating advised that the incident resulted in damage to a window at
her residence and various remedial actions required to deal with glass splinters. She pointed out
that this is not the first time her property has been damaged, and that she ignored a previous
incident involving golf ball damaged to her car. In response to a question from Councillor Ziegler
she advised that a neighbour on Bedford Road received compensation within the last year for
damage when the golfer who struck the ball could not be identified.
Mr. Arnot advised that he was not aware of any window damage claims addressed by the City and
pointed out that the Risk Manager also has no record of such claims being granted. He further
advised that several years ago the City took steps to adjust the alignment of the third hole abutting
Ms. Keating's property in an effort to reduce the number of golf balls falling on to private property.
Councillor Ziegler suggested a possible surcharge to golfers to cover damages where
compensation is merited and the individual golfer cannot be identified. He asked that the matter
be referred to Mr. Kett for a response. Councillor Jake Smola questioned whether damage has
occurred at any of the City-owned baseball diamonds and how this was handled. Mr. Arnot
acknowledged that there have been instances of damage, but he was not aware of any claims
paid in this regard. Councillor Galloway stressed that if the City is going to set a precedent by
paying for golf ball damage claims it should also consider related incidents at other City-owned
facilities, and suggested that the issue at hand is whether the City has any responsibility at all in
regard to damages by individuals using City facilities.
Councillor John Smola put forward a motion to grant the claim of Ms. Keating in the amount of
$188.55 on a without prejudice or precedent basis.
Mr. Gazzola pointed out that the City has insurance to protect it in instances such as these, and if
there is no liability should not pay claims irrespective of their amount as this suggests an
admission of responsibility. He noted that a precedent could be set which may be unfavourable in
the event of more costly or serious damage in the future. Councillor Vrbanovic offered the opinion
that the City should make every attempt to identify the golfer responsible, but if this is not possible
is ethically if not legally responsible for damages. Councillor Yantzi questioned whether a policy
could not be established with respect to paying only small claims in minor amounts as a matter of
good public relations.
Mr. Shivas advised that if the golf course is properly designed to meet established standards, the
owner has no obligations, noting that the course has been redesigned and meets such standards.
He pointed out that admitting liability in this instance will prejudice future claims. Mr. Shivas
further advised that if Council is inclined to pay this claim it should await comment from the insurer
before finally passing a resolution, and at minimum should indicate in the motion that the City is
acknowledging no legal obligation in this regard and is paying the claim purely for public relations
reasons.

CITY OF KITCHENER
Councillor Wagner enquired as to the number of claims received annually, and Mr. Arnot indicated
he would provide this information, though to the best of his knowledge there are few such claims.
On a motion by Councillor Jake Smola,
it was resolved:
"That consideration of the golf ball damage claim of Ms. Carolyn Keating be deferred and
referred to either a Council caucus meeting on August 18 or September 8, 1997 to allow for
staff discussion with the City's insurer and a report as to the impact of favourably
considering this and other claims for damage related to City-owned property."
2. COMMUNITY LOAN PROGRAM/LOAN REQUEST
The Committee was in receipt of a report from B. MacDonald dated August 8, 1997 recommending
criteria for eligibility under the Community Assistance Loan Plan. They were also in receipt of a
report and recommendation from P. Houston dated August 6, 1997 concerning the awarding of an
interest free loan to the Mount Hope-Breithaupt Park Neighbourhood Association to purchase
projection equipment.
Ms. Trudy Beaulne appeared in support of the loan request and to suggest a modification to the
proposed loan criteria. Ms. Beaulne advised that she was concerned that the criteria reflect that
the asset purchased using the loan would in effect become the property of the municipality rather
than the Neighbourhood Association. She suggested a change in wording to reflect that the loan
is to purchase equipment to run neighbourhood programs and does not constitute a donation to
the City.
Mr. Gazzola advised that staff do not wish to restrict the organization; however, there are some
advantages to City ownership, including the fact that the asset would be insured under the City's
plan and would be eligible for a reduced G.S.T. rate. Mr. Gazzola also suggested that the City can
make the equipment exclusively available to the Neighbourhood Association. Councillor Ziegler
questioned what would occur in the event the Neighbourhood Association wished to sell or replace
the asset, and Mr. Gazzola replied that he would be amendable to crediting the new asset they
wish to acquire.
Ms. Beaulne also advised that she was in attendance in support of the loan request from the
Mount Hope-Breithaupt Park Neighbourhood Association, with this amount to be used to purchase
projection equipment in conjunction with their movie night program.
Councillor Galloway suggested that the Loan Plan criteria should be modified to reflect that
Neighbourhood Associations are extensions of the municipal corporation, on the basis that the
municipality encourages and facilitates their organization. He also suggested adding a clause to
recognize the unique relationship of Neighbourhood Associations with the municipality, and
reflecting that in the event of asset disposal the item would return to the City, but would otherwise
be owned by the Association. Ms. Houston replied that all of the concerns raised this date can be
dealt with through the required loan agreement.
Councillor Ziegler referred to the "General" section of the proposed eligibility criteria and
questioned why the upset figure for a loan was set at $200,000.00. He questioned whether this
was simply due to the amount of the loan previously provided for Victoria Park lighting, and
suggested that the amount should be reduced to $100,000.00. Ms. Houston replied that the
amount in the criteria is based on both on past loans and on an estimate of the size of the fund
required to administer the Loan Plan.
Councillor M. Wagner put forward a motion to adopt the staff recommendation with respect to
eligibility criteria for the Community Assistance Loan Plan as well as to amend the upset figure for
loans by reducing it from $200,000.00 to $100,000.00, on the understanding that if an amount was
required in access of $100,000.00 a case could be presented directly to Council. Councillor
COMMUNITY LOAN PROGRAM/LOAN REQUEST - CONT'D
Galloway requested that the funding limit be voted on separately, as in his opinion reducing the
amount would discourage applications.

CITY OF KITCHENER
That portion of Councillor Wagner's motion dealing with a reduction in the upset limit for loans
from $200,000.00 to $100,000.00 was voted on and was Lost.
Moved by Councillor M. Wagner,
"That the criteria for eligibility with respect to loans under the Community Assistance Loan
Plan be adopted as outlined in Appendix A of the report of B. MacDonald dated August 8,
1997; and further,
That any special arrangements with respect to access to the Plan by Neighbourhood
Associations, or credit for the sale or replacement of assets purchased under the Plan, be
dealt with through the loan agreement."
Councillor Galloway repeated his earlier comments concerning specific reference to
Neighbourhood Associations indicating the municipality's support and to ensure that the
Association retains ownership of the asset until such time as it is sold or replaced. Councillor
Ziegler suggested that the "Applicant" section could be amended to indicate exclusive use of
equipment by the Neighbourhood Association. Ms. Houston suggested that it should be left to the
Neighbourhood Association to decide whether they wish to retain ownership or have the City
purchase on its behalf, and Mr. Gazzola advised that such an arrangement can be accommodated
in each separate agreement.
The motion by Councillor M. Wagner to adopt the staff criteria was then voted on and Carried.
The Committee then voted on the staff recommendation with respect to the loan request from the
Mount Hope-Breithaupt Park Neighbourhood Association.
On a motion by Councillor John Smola,
it was resolved:
"That a loan in the amount of $4,000.00 under the Community Assistance Loan Plan be
provided to the Mount Hope-Breithaupt Park Neighbourhood Association for the purchase
of projection equipment; and further,
That the loan be repaid in three instalments commencing July 1, 1998."
CHIP WAGON RELOCATION - JUNGLE FRIES
The Committee was in receipt of a written submission from Mr. Chris Wynes dated July 22, 1997
requesting permission to relocate his Chip Wagon from the current King Street location to the
Hogg Fuel depot on the corner of Strasburg Road and Battler Road.
Mr. Wynes was in attendance this date in support of his application and circulated a drawing
illustrating the proposed new location.
Moved by Councillor T. Galloway,
"That subject to meeting all Licensing requirements, and obtaining the owner's permission,
Chris Wynes, Jungle Fries, be granted permission to relocate his chip wagon from the
present King Street location to the Hogg Fuel depot on the corner of Strasburg Road and
Battler Road, and in this regard a temporary, one year licence be granted and enforcement
of the Zoning By-law waived for the one year period; and further,
That the applicant is advised that should he receive permission to continue to operate at
the above location beyond the one year term, the owner of the subject lands will be
required to submit an application to have said lands appropriately zoned."
CHIP WAGON RELOCATION - JUNGLE FRIES - CONT'D
Mr. McCabe advised that staff continue to have concerns that Council is no longer using the
temporary occupancy provisions and is instead directing that the Zoning By-law not be enforced.
He pointed out that the Planning and Development Department cannot sign off on the licence
application if the zoning is incorrect.

CITY OF KITCHENER
The previous motion by Councillor T. Galloway to allow relocation of the Chip Wagon owned by
Jungle Fries to the corner of Strasburg Road and Battler Road was voted on and Carried.
LICENCE REQUEST - SALE OF REFRESHMENTS\WINDOW WASHING
Mr. Richard Petrie was registered as a delegation this date to request approval for a licence to sell
beverages on City lands and to provide window washing services on City streets, but did not
attend the meeting. It was noted that staff cannot issue a licence to sell beverages on City lands
as these lands are not recognized as locations in the by-law. Similarly the request with respect to
window washing on City streets cannot be addressed by staff as this activity is not recognized in
the existing licencing categories.
Councillor Galloway enquired as to how other municipalities are approaching the licencing of
individuals providing car window washing services, and who have been referred to in the press as
"Squeegee Kids". Mrs. Koppeser replied that Toronto controls this activity through its traffic by-
law. Councillor Vrbanovic suggested that licencing staff contact the City of Ottawa with respect to
their process for allowing this activity in certain areas of the City and within established criteria.
LICENSING OF COMPLEMENTARY HEALTH THERAPIES
The Committee was in receipt of correspondence from Mr. Donald Bisson, Chair of the Ontario
College of Reflexology, dated July 25, 1997 voicing objection to the licencing and regulation of
Reflexologists.
Mr. Don Reid, Certified Reflexology Practitioner, was in attendance to voice his objection and the
objections of practitioners in other natural health modalities concerning the proposed by-law to
regulate non-sexual\non-erotic body rub parlours. Mr. Reid referred to an additional package of
reference information which was made available to the Committee. He also advised that Ms. Carol
Kraft, who registered as a delegation this date, was in attendance, but was satisfied to let him
speak on her behalf.
Mr. Reid advised that he is not in favour of licencing Reflexologists or any other complementary
health therapies and is particularly opposed to Clause #16 in the draft by-law requiring that a
record be kept of the names of patients and be made available to a licencing inspector, which he
advised violates his Association's code of ethics and his client's right to privacy. He also noted
that in this regard the Human Rights Commission has indentified five possible areas of complaint.
Mr. Reid explained that reflexology is already regulated by its own association which has the
authority to discipline or remove certification, the latter meaning that a Reflexologist would not be
eligible to receive payment for services through an insurance company. He further noted that the
City of Waterloo has dealt with this situation by adding a new category for complementary health
therapies, and the City of Toronto has created a new classification for individual health modalities.
In closing, Mr. Reid asked that Council recognize that the authority under the Municipal Act was
not intended to regulate complementary health therapies such as reflexology, carefully examine
how the City of Waterloo has approached this issue, request that the Province amend the
definitions in Municipal Act, and finally, to exempt Reflexologists from licencing under any City by-
law. Councillor Ziegler enquired whether Waterloo has in effect exempted Reflexologists by its
actions and Mr. Reid replied in the affirmative, noting that a motion was passed to recognize that
certain therapies do not fall under the category of erotic massage and therefore do not require a
licence.
LICENSING OF COMPLEMENTARY HEALTH THERAPIES - CONT'D
Moved by Councillor M. Yantzi,
"That when the Finance and Administration Committee considers the enacting of new body
rub parlour by-laws on September 8, 1997 they will only consider an erotic\sexual body rub
parlour by-law and not a non-erotic\non-sexual body rub parlour by-law as previously
recommended by staff."
FINANCE & ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MINUTES
AUGUST 11, 1997

CITY OF KITCHENER
Mr. Shivas advised that what is needed is an exemption under Section 224 of the Municipal Act,
but at present such an exemption would apply to Registered Massage Therapists but not
Reflexologists. He added that Council should consider whether or not in respect to
complementary health therapies it wishes to exercise its licencing authority, adding that one of the
options is to enact only a by-law applying to erotic\sexual body rub parlours.
The previous motion by Councillor M. Yantzi to take no action on September 8 as regards the
enacting of a non-erotic\non-sexual by-law was voted on and Carried.
Ms. Margaret Deptulski, the owner of a massage studio known as Cleopatra, was in attendance
and the manager of her establishment read a written submission dated July 25, 1997 which was
previously circulated to members of Council. The submission suggests that Cleopatra meets all of
the City's business licence~zoning requirements and objects to the City in effect closing down a
legal business which they themselves had previously approved and licensed. She also referred to
the petition appended to her written submission and signed by a number of neighbouring
businesses attesting that Cleopatra is a welcome addition to the business section of the Victoria
Street North property it presently occupies.
Ms. Deptulski further advised that she is able to open a similar studio in London at any time, but
chose to locate in Kitchener in the belief that the existing prohibition on nudity and sexual services
would allow her to operate in a more appropriate manner.
Ms. Nina Troezka, owner of the body rub parlour known as Victoria's, appeared and suggested
that with respect to the planned reduction in the number of the currently licensed body rub
parlours, each operator should be required to provide a written proposal which would include an
outline of the operator's experience and background as well as statements as to why they should
be allowed to continue operating in Kitchener, and that this process should function similar to the
City's tendering process.
Councillor Wagner suggested that the City already has a process in place for selecting the two
body rub parlours which would remain, and Mr. Shivas suggested that staff take Ms. Troezka's
comments under advisement and report back at the September 8, 1997 Finance and
Administration Committee meeting. Councillor Ziegler suggested that at that time staff should also
be prepared to outline a possible selection process. Councillor Jake Smola also asked for an
indication from staff as to the number of massagists currently licensed in the City as it was his
understanding there would be a net reduction in their numbers following the reduction in body rub
parlours and not simply a consolidation of existing services.
GRAND RIVER HOSPITAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Council was in receipt of a report from L. Parkhouse dated August 6, 1997 outlining the response
to an advertisement in the K-W Record to fill the existing vacancy on the Grand River Hospital
Board of Trustees. They were also in receipt, under separate cover, of resumes from the
individual applicants.
Councillor Galloway outlined the process followed by the Hospital Board in regard to nominations.
He advised that at this time Council would send one or more names to the Nominating Committee
which would consider these in conjunction with applicants for other municipal vacancies and return
the name of a recommended individual for Council consideration, at which time Council could
either accept this recommendation or substitute another individual. Councillor Galloway put
forward Mr. Orlan C. Wood, currently a term trustee, to fill the Kitchener vacancy. The names of
the following were also put forward by the

CHARITABLE BARBEQUE REQUEST - HOSPICE OF WATERLOO REGION
Mrs. Koppeser advised that the request has been withdrawn as the event has been cancelled.
REFRESHMENT VEHICLES
The Committee was in receipt of a report from J. Koppeser dated August 8, 1997 concerning a
July 7, 1997 Council request with respect to separation distances and licence fees for refreshment
vehicles as well as provision for set fines.
On a motion by Councillor Jake Smola,
it was resolved:
"That staff submit, for consideration at the September 8, 1997 Finance and Administration
Committee meeting, a comprehensive report with respect to Chapters 557 (Lunch Counter,
Restaurant Refreshment Stand) and Chapter 586 (Refreshment Vehicles) of the City's
Municipal Code, including the issues of separation distances, the amount of licencing fees
and provision for set fines."
LICENCE REQUEST - NON-EROTIC\NON-SEXUAL BODY RUB PARLOUR
The Committee was in receipt of a report from J. Koppeser dated August 7, 1997 recommending
that the licence request be granted and several housekeeping amendments be made to the
current by-laws.
On a motion by Councillor B. Vrbanovic,
it was resolved:
"That James Harrison be granted a 1997 licence for the operation of a Body Rub Parlour at
1167 King Street East, Kitchener, and that the Legal Department be instructed to prepare
the necessary amendment to Chapter 560 (Massagists and Body Rub Parlours) of the City
of Kitchener Municipal Code; and,
That the Legal Department be instructed to prepare an amendment to By-law 97-47 to
change "1 .Section 530.3.3 of Chapter 560" to read "1 .Section 560.3.3 of Chapter 560"; and
further,
That the Legal Department also be instructed to prepare an amendment to By-law 97-110
to change the last line of #1. from "Subsection (I)" to "Subsection (i)"."
MUNICIPAL STATUTORY REFORM - LIABILITY PROTECTION
The Committee was in receipt of a joint report from J. Shivas and N. Chambers dated August 1,
1997 recommending that the City urge the Province to provide further relief from liability to
municipalities.

MUNICIPAL STATUTORY REFORM - LIABILITY PROTECTION - CONT'D
On a motion by Councillor M. Yantzi,
it was resolved;
"WHEREAS municipalities remain targets for claims for liability due to their perceived deep
pockets, as well as joint and several liability;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Council of the Corporation of the City of
Kitchener urges the Province of Ontario, during its current review of the Municipal Act, to
provide further relief from liability to municipalities by granting reasonable statutory
protection in the areas of building inspection and occupiers liability;

AND FURTHER, that municipalities be relieved from joint liability, leaving them with several
liability only;
AND FURTHER, that this resolution be forwarded to the Association of Municipalities of
Ontario, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and local M.P.P.'s."
SKATEPARK FACILITY - TENDER AND FINANCING
The Committee was in receipt of a joint report from R. Wyatt and G. Nixon dated August 5, 1997
recommending the awarding of a tender for the construction of a skatepark at the Kitchener
Memorial Auditorium and related financing.
Councillor Taylor-Harrison referred to a summary of comments she had received from constituents
and staff with respect to construction of the skatepark facility and a number of unaddressed items.
She relayed concerns expressed by some area residents that the process followed was
inadequate and also noted concerns expressed with regard to safety, the proposed lack of
supervision and parking requirements.
Councillor Taylor-Harrison requested that either further action with regard to the skatepark be
deferred until the Spring of 1998 or a list of possible additions to the skatepark be considered at
this time. She then put forward this list in motion form comprising the addition of a perimeter track
and fence, establishment of a contingency fund, undertaking a parking study, installing a
telephone and first aid kit, and continuing discussion with respect to development of a code of
conduct and provision for policing the facility.
Councillor Vrbanovic noted that a perimeter track had been considered in the past but that the
suggestion was discarded and asked for staff comment. Mr. Wyatt advised that the track could be
included as the design allows for this addition; however, there are a number of operational
concerns aside from the cost, most of these safety related. Mr. Nixon added that one of the
problems with a perimeter track is that it will be difficult to confine in-line skaters to the track and
this would create a conflict zone. Also, since the skatepark is a multi-use facility including bicycles
and skateboards the perimeter track could be used by bikes and would have to be crossed by
other users. Councillor Vrbanovic noted that provision of a contingency fund is automatic in
instances such as these and Mr. Wyatt confirmed that this would be an annual item in the Parks
and Recreation Department budget which would be considered at budget approval time.
Councillor Ziegler suggested considering the addition of a track in 1998 after the facility has been
in operation, though funds could be allocated prior to this review. Councillor Taylor-Harrison
accepted the suggestion of Councillor Ziegler with respect to a perimeter track as a friendly
amendment to her motion.
Mr. Nixon advised that only two facilities researched by staff were fenced, one of these for the
purpose of a possible conversion to tennis courts. Councillor Taylor-Harrison accepted, as a
friendly amendment, a suggestion that the facility operate for one year before a decision is made
on fencing, or alternatively this issue could be brought forward sooner at the discretion of the
Ward Councillor.
The main motion was then voted on, as amended.
11.
SKATEPARK FACILITY - TENDER AND FINANCING - CONT'D
On a motion by Councillor K. Taylor-Harrison,
it was resolved:
"That with regard to the proposed skatepark facility at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium,
consideration be given to the following:
a)
allocation of $5,000.00 toward construction of a perimeter fence, with evaluation of the
need for such fence to take place within one year of the start of operation, or at the
discretion of the Ward Councillor; and,
b)
allocation of $9,000.00 toward the addition of a track around the perimeter of the facility to
assist novice skateboarders and encourage adult participation, with this addition to be

evaluated in 1998; and,
c) establishing an annual contingency fund of $6,000.00 for maintenance of the facility; and,
d)
immediately undertaking a parking study to address concerns raised by neighbouring
residents over on-street parking during Memorial Auditorium events, with said study to
include observations of the residents directly affected; and,
e) installation of a telephone outside the building in the event of an emergency; and,
f)
discussion among skateboarders, area residents and Parks and Recreation Department
staff concerning development of a code of conduct for the facility and enforcement of same;
and,
g)
further discussion regarding the availability of a first aid kit for use in the event of accidents;
and further,
That Councillor Karen Taylor-Harrison work with the Neighbourhood Association and Waterloo
Regional Police Services to identify a means of monitoring the skatepark site."
Mr. Arnot asked for clarification of the parking issue referred to Councillor Taylor-Harrison's motion
and how this would impact the skatepark facility. She replied that parking is a recurring complaint
among neighbouring residents and is often triggered by developments such as these. She noted
that between 65 and 70 parking spaces will be lost due to the construction of the skatepark, and
Mr. Arnot suggested that this could be addressed under the site plan approval process.
On a motion by Councillor T. Galloway,
it was resolved:
"That Tender T97-93 for the construction of a skatepark at the Kitchener Memorial
Auditorium be awarded to Gateman-Milloy Inc. at the tendered price of $194,848.03; and,
That related costs in the amount of $27,000.00 be debited from the savings realized
through the Wilson Roof Capital Project (Index #646466); and,
That the City fund the approximate $20,000.00 shortfall in fundraising through a separate
account to be repaid within one year through additional fundraising efforts; and further,
That the project be funded as follows: $150,000.00 as previously approved by Council;
$27,000.00 from Index #646466; and, $50,000.00 from donations."
INFORMATION REPORT - MONTE CARLO LICENCES
The Committee received, as information, a report dated August 6, 1997 listing the Monte Carlo
events recently approved by Licencing staff.
1998 PRO-FORMA BUDGET
On a motion by Councillor M. Yantzi,
it was resolved:
"That the presentation on the 1998 Pro Forma Budget be deferred and referred to the
September 8, 1997 meeting of the Finance and Administration Committee and be listed as
the first item of discussion following delegations."
