1. CRPS-01-006 - REQUEST TO WAIVE OR REDUCE BINGO UCENCE
The Committee was in receipt of Corporate Services Department report CRPS-01-006, dated
January 18, 2001, in response to the wrfften submission to Mr. M. Rausch, Chairman, Charities
Bingo Committee, outlining his request for bingo licence fees to he waived or reduced to help
continue operating the bingo palace for the benefit of 33 chadtabie organizations. The report
requests Council's direction in this regard.
Mr. M. Rausch, Chairman, Charities Bingo Committee, appeared as a delagation to represent
his request for the waiver of or reduction in bingo licence fees. He stated that when bingo
revenues wore high, roany charitJes contributed a significant amount of rooney to the City of
Kitchener, and if bingos are not successful, they will have to close the hall and the City will not
receive any licence fees.
Councillor B. Vrbanovic declared a pecuniary interest in this matter as he is associated with an
organization that benefits from bingo revenues, and did not participate with any discussion or
voting with respect to this matter.
Mayor Zehr noted that in the year 2000, when Mr. Rausch appeared before this Coremittee,
one of the reasons sighted as justification for bingo licence fee reduction was the smoking by-
law;, however, current statistics suggests there are other reasons for the reductions in bingo
revenuee. Mr. Raussh agreed that there are other influences on these revenues; however,
when speaking to former bingo participants, they advise that they are now playing bingo in
Woodstock because there is no smoldng ban.
Mayor Zehr advised that he was aware that the Province is in the process of preparing new
regulations to lift certain restrictions for bingo halls, and asked that staff investigate and
provide this information. He then questioned Mr. Rausch as to what other municipalities have
done in this regard. Mr. Rausch advised that the City of Cambridge has reduced its licence
fees to 1.5% the prize board. When questioned further by Mayor Zehr, Mr. Rausch did not
have any inforrnation on how this situation is being handled Province-wide.
Councillor Smola questioned bingo licence revenues anticipated in the 2001 Ucensing Section
operating budget and Ms. J. Koppeser advised that staff have budgeted for revenues of
$300,000. Councillor Smola then questioned Ms. P. Houston as to whether the City would
have to find an additional $300,000. on budget day should Council choose to waive the entire
amount of bingo licence fees and Ms. Houston responded that would be the case.
Councillor G, Lorentz questioned what would happen if bingo licence fees were reduced by
$100,000. and Ms. Koppeser advised that staff would still have the same amount of work to
do, it would he harder to trace the charities fends, and even if bingos should cease entirely,
staff would still have a 2 years of auditing to do with respect .to processing bingos.
Councillor C. Waylie referred to a list in her possession respecting charities who conduct
bingos, are eligible for granla and receive grants from the City of Kitchener. She questioned
why the City would support only those greups who conduct bingos.
Councillor G. Lorentz stated that what has been suggested today is a fundamental shift and
put forward a motion to defer consideration of Mr. Rausch's request for a staff report outlining
how other municipalities in the province are handling this situation, before this Council takes
any steps in this regard. It was generally agreed that the staff report should include an update
of the version of the list in Councillor Weylie's possession, details of the staffing and auditing
implications in the event that bingos decline, and information on potential new regulations from
the P;ov[nce with respect to bingos.

nightclubs.
Councillor J. Zeigler questioned whether Mr. Moore had ever before been granted a reduction in
fees for poster removal, aad whether the prope~¥ OWner had ever received a reduction in fees
for poster removal for any of his establishments. Mr. Moore responded that neither he nor the
property owner have ever received a reduction in poster removal fees.

dv~sad that he recalled speaking with employees o~' Mr. Moore when they were erecting

employees knew they were breaking the law. Councillor Lorentz stated he wes opposed to any
reduction in these fees.

The Commiffee was in receipt of Business and Planning Services report BPS-01~012, dated
January 19, 2001, which was distributed under separate cover. This report was prepared in
response to a request from Mr. M. Tutton, Vice-President, Monarch Construction Limited, at
the January 8, 2001, Finance and Administration meeting, to have the City's potion of the
Doon Village Road Diversion constructed in 2001 rather than being postponed to 2003/2004,
as identified in the Capital Forecast. The construction of the Doon Village Road Diversion is
necessary in order for Monamh to proceed with Phase 3 of their subdivision. As requested by
this Committee, staff reviewed altematJves to the construction of the City's portion of the
Diversion and recommended that it be moved forward in the Capital Forecast to 2001/2002, it
be financed by debenture, and that the interest cost associated with the debenture be shared
by the City and Monarch Construction Limited,
Mr. G. Scheels, Green Scheels Pigeon, appeared as a delegation on behalf of Monarch
Construction Limited and addressed the staff reporL He referred to Monarch Construction
Limifed's letter, affached to the staff report, supporting the debenturing and advised that
Monarch is willing to assume 1t3 of the debenture costs. Mr. Scheels then noted that the City
of Kitchener has always indicated that it would build its portion of the Doon Village Road
Diversion to match the timing of the construction of phase 3 of Monamh's subdivision, He also
advised that Monarch, through the subdivision agreement, has an obligation to construct its
portion of Doon Village Road, which will cost $3M. He noted that Monarch Construction has
paid a considerable amount of development charges through constructing this subdivision.
Referring to the staff report, he advised that Monarch Construction has ccncems with rates
used by staff to calculate the financial charges of debenturing and requested that the market
rate be used to calculate Monarch Constructions portion of the interest costs relative to the
debenture.
In response to Mr. Scheels' concerns with respect to the interest costs for the debenture, Ms.
P. Houston advised that staff used the figure of 8% to illustrate the cost involved, and that staff
will only charge Monarch based on the actual rate of the debenture.
Councilor M. Galloway put forward a motion to adopt the recommendation in the staff report
as amended to stipulate that the City of Kitchener will pay 2/3 of the interest cost associated
with the debenture and Monarch Construction will pay 113 of the interest costs, with the
interest costs charged to Monarch being the actual interest rate for the debenture.
The Committee then briefly discussed the proportion of the interest costs which should be paid
for by Monarch Construction. Councillor M. Galloway stated that there is a problem with how
this situation has materialized pointing out that initially the City had agreed to construct its
portion of the diversion in concert with Phase 3 of the subdivision but the diversion had

The Committee was ~ receipt of Community Services Deparl~ent report CSD--01-003, dated
January 17, 2001, in response to Council's direclJen to determine the amount of cap~l
co.i~?uutfon the City should make la the Poseidon Project, and aquatics, retail and office
development proposed for the former Uniroyal property at the intefseclion of King Street West
and V'mtoda Street. CouneiJ's direction la staff also ioctuded the request for an assessment of
the financial and operating assumptions put for~ by the Poseiden Project Group. Staff's
recommendation is that Co~nci~ take no action regarding a capital and operating financial
contribution to the Poseidon Project.
Mr. Pizzute, with the aid of a PowerPoint presentation, presented staffs report. He gave an
ovendew of the project nc~ng that it would be a mulitiuse facility allowing the opportunity for
compe~tive use and community use. The overall cost of the Poseidon Project is expected to be
$60M and the proponents have requested a caprtei centn'bution from the City of $15M and an
annual operating contribution of $200,000. Mr. Pizzuto advised that a review of the City's
budget shows that an annual operating con~bution of that amount would affect operation of the
City's existing fac~litios, and building this facility would affect the City's revenues with respect to
providing the same programs. Mr. Pizzuto mviewecl the assumptions made by the Poseidon
Project Group in terms of aquatic services they '
traffic and paddng considerations, intend to provide, downtown revitalization and
Mr. Pizzute then reviewed the financial implications. He noted that the Poseidon Project Group
has estimated the City would gain $200,000. in tax revenues in this project. He advised that the
impact on the aquatic budget would be increased costs of $100,000. plus a potential loss of
revenue for leadership programs, etc., of aeproximately $20-25,000.
V~th respect la the requested capita~ coniutbut~on of $15M, Mr. Pizzuto explained that this
contribution is higher than the capital value atbibulable to the City of Kitchenor which would be
approximately $4.2M, equivalent to the capital cost of a community poo/. He also advised that
$15M cannot be accommodated in the capital forecast for a least the next 5 years.

5, CSD-01-003 - STAFF EVALUATION OF THE POSEIDON PROJECT PROPOSAl. {CaNT'D}
In summary Mr. Pizzute stated that, although the City must take risks in the realization of
projects I~e the Poseidon Project, staff are of the opinion that this project is not worth the dsk as
it does little from a programming and financial perspective, and it has limited capacity from an
economic development and downtown renewal perspective.
Ms. Nancy Brewley and Mr. Roger Farwell appeared on behalf of the Poseidon Project Group to
advise of and explain their opposition to the staff report` Ms. Brawley stated that the staff report
looks at the Poseidon Project as an aquatic facility but it is much target than that, This will be an
international facility and training ground for Olympic athletes. She stated that the project group
needs Council to have a vision as to what this development, on this site, can do for downtown
revftalizat[on. As well as being a sports facility, the project will be a coaching development
centre, a centre for alternative aquatic a~vity and has the potential for wellness outreach. Ms.
Brawley then spoke of the commemial/office mix proposed as pert of the project, noting that it
has maximum flexibility.
Mr. Roger Farwell then addressed the Committee with respect to the downtown revitalization
aspect of the project. He stated that Geon has gifted this site and wants to see it developed as a
vital site. He stated that ~t is a gateway site for the downtown, The athletic complex will be
supported by the other uses which surround it, and there is development interest in the project.
Mr. Farwell stated that the City's contribution must be declared before the project can move
fon~ard. He advised that the direct economic benefits of the project for the City of Kitchener are
significant; the site would not be vacant, construction costs would be in the vicinity of $25-28M
and the City's portion of the pmpe~y taxes would be $200,000.
Mr. Farwell then addressed the capital budget impact contained in the staff report by stating that
this project exists outside of the mandate of staff and it will fake political wtil to make it happen.
In conclusion Mr. Farwell acknowledged Geon's enthusiasm for this site and has extended the
gesture of offering this site, They want to know what will happen to the site if the Poseidoi3
Project does not go forward. On behalf of the Poseidon Project Group, Mr. Farwell stated that
this project has been a vision for the future and stated the need to be bold for the future. He
thanked the City of Kitchener for its support in investigating this project.
Members of the Committee questioned whether the delegation has approached the senior Ievels
of government for funding and the prcportion of funding targeted at various sources. Ms.
Brewiey responded that the project group anticipates the following contrib~ions: $15M from the
City of KJfohener, $9M from the Pmvinca, $6-7M from the Federal Government and SSM from
corporate donations. She advised that they would apply to the SuperBuild Partnemhip if they
could get a le~far of endorsement from the City of K*~tchener.
Councillor Vrbanovic qt~estiened how aggressive the project group has been in soliciting donor
funding and Ms. Brawlay advised that they need the City's suppod in order to obtain Corporate
donations. She noted that while pursuing donations, the main question from perspective donors
has been whether the City is suppoding the project.
Councillor Vrbanovic then questioned why the City's supl~'t must initially be in the form of
fonds, Mr. Farwell advised that an aquatics facility is not financially self supporting and the
commemiat/offica component will have to generate enough revenue to support the aquatics
facility. Before corporations will donate or invest in the project they want to know that the City is
supportive of the project. He stated that the $15M does not have to be paid until all the funding
has been acquired.
Councillor Vrbanovic quesldoned what would happen to the project if the City decides to take no
action at this time. Ms. Brawley stated that the project will not disappear as the project group
believes this facility is needed, and will pursue avecuos for development.
Councillor Weylla questiosed how many national aquatics facir~des there are in Canada and Ms.
Brawlay responded that this facility would be one of 3 across the country. Upon further
questioning, it was determined that the other 2 facilities were funded as part of either the

Mayor Zehr stated that if the focus for the facility is to train Olympic athletes and ceaches then it
should be paid for by the senior levels of government, and questioned how to convince those
levels of government to become involved in the project.
Mr. Marty Schreiter of the Kitchener Downtown Business Association appeared as a delegation
and spoke briefly in suppor~ of the project on behaffof the Association.
Councillor B. Vrbanovic put forward the recommendation in the staff report with an amendment
stating that the CRY continues to support the Poseidon Project but will take no action at this time
on their request for funding. He urged the delegation to pumue other funding options,
padiculaify the Federal Government.
Mayor Zehr spoke in support of the motion nating that he believos in the vision but the City is not
in a position to make the financial contribution requested, at this time. He then pointed out that
the City d~d help fund the cost of the feasablitly study for this project.
