Mr. Gordon Kaster appeared as a delegation in regard to clause 1 of the report of the Public Works & Transportation Committee of this date dealing with traffic issues pertaining to the intersection of Bridge Street and Woolwich Street. Mr. Kaster advised that he was representing the Bridgeport United Church which has property situate at the intersection of Woolwich and Bridge Streets. He indicated that church representatives had intended to attend the Public Works & Transportation Committee's May 27 meeting but were unaware of the Committee's early start time that date and missed the meeting. He asked that there be no change in traffic direction and routing on these streets and suggested that the solutions would not improve pedestrian safety for school children and that they would also inconvenience members of the church who were utilizing the church parking lot. Mr. Brad Tucker also appeared as a delegation regarding clause 1 of the Public Works & Transportation Committee report. He expressed disappointment that residents were not informed well in advance of the JUNE 3, 1996 COUNCIL MINUTES - 235- CITY OF KITCHENER Committee meeting and pointed out that last summer the neighbourhood had provided significant response when the issue was first proposed. Mr. Tucker commented that previously the consensus was that Woolwich Street should be closed at Bridle Trail and that it was his understanding the City of Waterloo should be responsible for dealing with the road closure. He commented that the real problem was the volume of traffic on Bridge Street and the problem of traffic trying to access Bridge Street, but that ultimately what was required was another bridge across the Grand River to reduce traffic volumes on Bridge Street. He commented that restrictions on Woolwich Street would not change anything given the increased vehicular and pedestrian traffic along Bridge Street arising from subdivisions developing within the City of Waterloo. Accordingly, he requested that Council reconsider the Committee recommendation. Councillor John Smola advised that approximately 68 area residents had attended a meeting held in November, 1995 and that the clear outcome of that meeting was that their main concern was the intersection of Bridge and Woolwich Streets. Mr. D. Snow commented that staff recognize the concerns being expressed by the delegations which were also mentioned at the public meeting. He pointed out that the first proposal was to close Woolwich Street at Bridle Trail, but that the City had withdrawn a condition from a subdivision agreement that would have brought this about. Mr. Snow advised that the recommendation attempts to address the difficulties at the Bridge and Woolwich Streets intersection and that it was being recommended on a trial basis. He pointed out that the change would reduce by approximately half the volume of through traffic utilizing Woolwich Street, but acknowledged that there were some minor problems with the arrangements. Mr. Snow indicated that the City of Waterloo has proposed installation of traffic signals at the intersection of Bridle Trail and Bridge Streets and that the diversion of traffic from Woolwich Street would assist in meeting the warrant requirement for traffic signal installation at Bridle Trail and Bridge Streets. He noted that the public generally supported the proposal respecting entry to Woolwich Street, but not the exit proposal and the exit issue is the problem. In response to Councillor M. Yantzi, Mr. Snow indicated that exemption from the left turn prohibition from Bridge Street onto Woolwich Street on Sundays was not a problem. Councillor John Smola stated that the entire issue dates back to 1988 with the original plan being to close Woolwich Street. He noted that concerns had been ongoing and in this regard a concrete sidewalk was installed on Bridge Street to Hillcrest Lane for pedestrian safety. Councillor John Smola stated that he was in agreement with the recommendation but noted that if it was not working after a one year trial, he supported reconsideration. Moved by Councillor John Smola seconded by Councillor M. Wagner "That clause 1 of the report of the Public Works & Transportation Committee of this date be amended to prohibit eastbound left turns from Bridge Street onto Woolwich Street, excepting on Sundays, and that clause 1 as amended, be adopted." Carried. Messrs. Bill Dahms and Len Gamache appeared as a delegation in regard to clause 2 of the report of the Public Works & Transportation Committee of this date and advised that they had attended the May 27 Committee meeting. Mr. Dahms indicated that they were in support of the recommendation relating to the one-way section of Water Street and noted that there was support from almost every resident on this matter. Mr. Gamache stated that the most important issue was that of safety which actually was an issue for residents of the Victoria Park area. He commented that the design of the street seems to encourage non-compliance and that 80% of vehicles are exceeding the speed limit. Councillor J. Ziegler referred to a report received this date from Mr. J. Shivas regarding the recommendations involving traffic calming measures and recommending that City Council pass a by-law if it intends to install these temporary traffic calming measures. Mr. Shivas pointed out that there were notice provisions with respect to the necessary by-law that would require four consecutive weeks of advertising before passing of the by-law. Discussion then took place as to finding a means to deal with this matter in an expeditious way. Mr. Shivas indicated that he was willing to write the by-law and place it before Council for consideration of first and second readings this date and should that happen, it maybe possible to comply with the four week consecutive advertising requirement that would allow for consideration of third reading of the by-law at Council's July 2 meeting. Councillor M. Wagner stated that he supported the initiative represented by the recommendation and suggested that based on evaluation of results, policy development be undertaken in anticipation of future JUNE 3, 1996 COUNCIL MINUTES - 236- CITY OF KITCHENER requests. Councillor Jake Smola stated that it was his understanding the installation does not mean permanent traffic calming measures will be installed after the testing period. Mr. J. Shivas advised that temporary speed bumps could not remain in place during the late Fall/Winter months. Mr. D. Snow advised that the intent was to remove the speed bumps before the winter season and that the intent was also to develop standards and policies for dealing with further requests relating to traffic calming measures. Moved by Councillor John Smola Seconded by Councillor M. Wagner "That clause 2 of the report of the Public Works & Transportation Committee of this date be amended to require that the proposed road alterations be approved based on a maximum 6 month trial basis and subject to passing of an implementing by-law and clause 2 as amended, be adopted." Carried. Councillor B. Vrbanovic advised that Ms. Nancy Brawley was in attendance this date to address any question regarding the contents of Councillor Vrbanovic's letter dated May 31, 1996 addressed to members of Council dealing with the Countdown to Canada Day event and the financial sponsorships proposed therein. In response to Councillor J. Ziegler, Councillor Vrbanovic advised that this event and Canada Day events were considered two separate undertakings. Moved by Councillor B. Vrbanovic Seconded by Councillor M. Wagner "That the City of Kitchener/Kitchener Farmer's Market jointly sponsor the Countdown to Canada Day event with a $5,000 contribution from the Downtown Event Promotor's Budget and further, that the City's involvement in any future years will be subject to a strategic and financial plan being presented to us for consideration." Carried. Councillor M. Yantzi, Acting Mayor, advised that the applicants pertaining to the Zone Change in clause 3 of the report of the Planning and Economic Development Committee were in attendance. Moved by Councillor B. Vrbanovic Seconded by Councillor G. Lorentz "That clause 3 of the report of the Planning and Economic Development Committee of this date be adopted." Councillor B. Vrbanovic referred to Planning and Development Department Staff Report PD 96~50 dated May 30, 1996 distributed to members of Council requesting that Council approve a minor revision to the proposed by-law referred to in clause 3. Moved by Councillor B. Vrbanovic Seconded by Councillor G. Lorentz "That clause 3 of the report of the Planning and Economic Development Committee be amended as follows: 'That Council approve a minor revision to the proposed by-law implementing Zone Change 96121EIJG to increase the maximum height of the proposed garden suite to 4.5 metres, and further, That Council consider the change in the by-law to be minor in nature and that no further public notice be required."' Carried. JUNE 3, 1996 COUNCIL MINUTES - ~37- CITY OF KITCHENER Clause 3 of the report, as amended, was then voted on and Carried. 1. Moved by Councillor B. Vrbanovic Seconded by Councillor G. Lorentz "That the report of the Planning and Economic Development Committee of Council of this date be adopted." Voted on clause by clause. Clause 3 - Dealt with under delegations and Carried, As Amended. Balance of Report - Carried. Moved by Councillor G. Lorentz Seconded by Councillor T. Galloway "That the report of the Community Services Committee of this date be adopted." Councillor Jake Smola advised that he would support clause 1 concerning the sale of the Farmers' Market building and Market Parking Garage but with reservations. He referred to the report from Mr. J. Gazzola which indicated a possibility of the Reserve Fund being eliminated in the long term. Mr. T. McKay indicated that he had not had an opportunity to review Mr. Gazzola's report prior to it going out and that it did not reflect the manner in which the Reserve Fund would operate which he had subsequently discussed with Mr. Gazzola. The intent is that the Reserve Fund will increase to about $3.5 million over the next four years. The capital within the Fund would remain intact with only interest earnings being applied to offset Market Leasing costs. This will mean an operating budget increase of about $155,000 in 1997 but reducing to $40,000 by the year 2000, leaving the City with $3.5 million in the Reserve Fund which would provide full flexibility in looking at Market alternatives in the long term. With regard to clause 2 dealing with the name plate seat dedication program for the auditorium, Councillor J. Ziegler advised that he supported the concept but not fixing the selling price at $100. Councillor J. Ziegler advised that he objected to clause 9 of the report on the basis that the City's cost should not be doubled simply because an organization has decided to double its program. Councillor Jake Smola expressed similar views to those of Councillor Ziegler and indicated he would not support it. Councillor G. Lorentz referred to the work of the Hospital Volunteer Committee and concerns that were raised last Christmas season when there was no place for people to go to get out of the cold. He noted that events such as this were paying for new hospital equipment and in the end saving taxpayers thousands of dollars. Councillor J. Ziegler stated that his opposition was to the process of how the request came to the City. Councillor G. Lorentz supported an approach being taken that would deal with the festival over a five-year period on the basis of a ten-day event. He also made reference to clause 7 dealing with how that grant request was being addressed. Councillor B. Vrbanovic pointed out that a report was being prepared by Mr. R. Arnot that would deal with this type of community event. On motion by Councillor G. Lorentz, seconded by Councillor J. Ziegler, it was agreed to refer the issues contained in clauses 2 & 7 of the report to the 1997 Budget Committee meetings for discussion. The report was then put to a vote. Voted on clause by clause. Clauses 2 & 9 - Carried. Balance of Report - Carried. Moved by Councillor J. Ziegler Seconded by Councillor M. Wagner "That the report of the Finance and Administration Committee of this date be adopted." JUNE 3, 1996 COUNCIL MINUTES - ~38- CITY OF KITCHENER Councillor M. Yantzi disclosed a pecuniary conflict of interest and abstained from all discussion and voting with regard to clause 3 of the report as he is employed by Community Justice Initiatives of Waterloo Region. In regard to clause 6 of the report, Councillor J. Ziegler advised that he wished to clarify the wording of the recommendation arising from the Committee meeting. On motion by Councillor J. Ziegler, seconded by Councillor M. Wagner, it was agreed to amend the wording of clause 6 after the word "claims" with the words "ensuring that municipalities have only several liability for damages, while providing municipalities with relief from joint liability." Councillor T. Galloway expressed concern regarding clause 5 of the report and questioned if the same conditions exist in the City's gas utility as those conditions that drove Union Gas to make application for the rate increases which were then requested by Kitchener Utilities. Mr. E. Kovacs advised that the models applicable to the operations of the two utilities were similar and he commented on the life expectancy of water heaters in view of the hardness of the water which affects the water heaters of customers of both Union Gas and Kitchener Utilities in Waterloo Region. Councillor G. Lorentz stated that he objected to the philosophy of Kitchener's actions in raising its rental rates to match those of customers of Union Gas. A motion was introduced by Councillor G. Lorentz, seconded by Councillor J. Ziegler that would provide for the rate increases pertaining to the rental of gas water heaters to be introduced on a phased basis with 50% of the increase being applied in the first year and the remaining 50% of the requested increase being applied in the second year. Councillor J. Ziegler commented that the contracts entered into for new rentals should be established at the new rental rate including all increases. Councillor B. Vrbanovic objected to Council involving itself in such a detailed way in the business decisions of the gas utility. Councillor M. Wagner stated that he was opposed to the amendment and pointed out that renting a water heater was a far better deal for Kitchener gas customers than purchasing their own unit. Councillor T. Galloway pointed out that the actual increase was in the area of 12% and that the City was in similar circumstances to that of Union Gas as an operating enterprise and City Council should not be undertaking to politicize the rental rates of equipment. The motion of Councillor G. Lorentz was then put to a vote and Lost on a tie vote. The report was then considered. Voted on clause by clause. Councillor T. Galloway acted as chair in the consideration of clause 3. Clauses 3 & 5 - Carried. Clause 6 - Carried, As Amended. Balance of Report - Carried. The following pecuniary conflict of interest and abstention were disclosed: Clause 3 - Councillor M. Yantzi as he is employed by Community Justice Initiatives of Waterloo Region. Moved by Councillor John Smola Seconded by Councillor M. Wagner "That the report of the Public Works and Transportation Committee of this date be adopted." Voted on clause by clause. Clauses 1 & 2 - Dealt with under delegations and Carried, As Amended. Balance of Report - Carried. Councillor J. Ziegler advised that at the Finance and Administration Committee meeting to be held June JUNE 3, 1996 COUNCIL MINUTES - 239- CITY OF KITCHENER 10 a report on consultants was scheduled to be considered. As part of that discussion, he indicated he would like to discuss consultant selection and Council's inclusion in that process. He commented that Council was unaware of details relating to consultants who were involved in major construction activities. Mr. T. McKay commented that a process has been in place to select consultants following a Committee deliberation, rating and decision-making with no involvement by Council with the exception of a major project such as the City Hall project. Councillor J. Ziegler maintained that Council should be a participant in consultant selection relating to projects over a certain value. Councillor J. Ziegler referred to a letter received from Ratz-Bechtel objecting to the proposal to develop a crematorium at Willamsburg Cemetery. He questioned if the letter in any way altered staff's recommendation in this regard. Mr. T. Clancy advised that staff anticipated receipt of a comment from the industry but that he was surprised with what has been expressed. He replied that the industry response does not change anything that staff have proposed. He noted that there were a number of issues respecting this topic and that a meeting was being set up with representatives of the interment industry and Councillor J. Ziegler volunteered to attend that meeting with City staff. It was agreed that the meeting be proceeded with following which other comments would be forthcoming to update Council on the matter. Councillor G. Lorentz advised that at the last Council meeting he had questioned the status of entrance signs to the City of Kitchener and that the issue had subsequently been discussed at the May 28 meeting of the Management Committee which opposed undertaking a new design of the signs. Councillor Lorentz indicated that he strongly supported the undertaking of a new design rather than simply replacing signs with the existing Iogos and information. Mr. T. McKay pointed out that some signs were in bad shape and the intention was to over-extend the budget this year in order to undertake replacement. Councillor G. Lorentz requested that the issue be included on the agenda of the Public Works & Transportation Committee for a general discussion at the June 10 meeting. Councillor G. Lorentz referred to the letter received from the Minister of Transportation responding to City Council's February 22, 1996 resolution regarding speeding on municipal roads and stated that he finds the content of the letter both confusing and disappointing. He indicated that it was his intention to meet with the two local M.P.P.s to seek their support to lobby the government regarding the merits of using photo radar in a municipal setting to control speeding. Mr. D. Snow suggested that the Association of Municipalities of Ontario also be approached to lobby the government in this regard. Councillor G. Lorentz referred to minutes of a recent Downtown Advisory Committee meeting and questioned comments in the minutes respecting a lack of political interest on the part of members of Kitchener Council. Councillor M. Yantzi advised that it was his understanding the comment related to a concern respecting the attendance of Councillors. Councillor Jake Smola referred to construction activities taking place at Rosenberg Park and questioned if a sign could be placed on the property indicating what improvements were being undertaken. Mr. T. Clancy advised that he would look into the request and attempt to address it provided the work was not near completion. Councillor G. Lorentz referred to a request from the City of Timmins for financial assistance to help offset the damages experienced from recent flooding. He noted that there will be matching provincial assistance dollars to any monies raised by Timmins. Moved by Councillor G. Lorentz Seconded by Councillor B. Vrbanovic "That we approve a $1,000 grant in favour of the City of Timmins 'Flood Relief Fund' with the grant to be charged to the City's Grant Contingency Fund." Carried. At the request of Mr. R.W. Pritchard, Council consented to the addition of a by-law for two readings this date prepared by Mr. J. Shivas respecting the traffic alterations in connection with clause 2 of the report of the Public Works & Transportation Committee of this date affecting Homewood Avenue and Water Street South.
