Design Value
The overall building has a classical composition with symmetry and detail and the front door

Historical Value
In 1810 Charles MacDonald came from New York State and went into business with Joel
Stone He married Mary Stone the daughter of Joel and built a frame house on the property in
1812 The frame house burned down in 1828 and was replaced in 1843 and again partially
destroyed by fire and rebuilt and expanded Charles died in 1826 and his eldest son William
Shane MacDonald took over business interests and lived at the Blinkbonnie until his death in
1902 At some point the home became a Hotel and over the years became an eyesore and very
rundown In the 70rsquos the Hotel was a strip joint with mud wrestling In 1984 the Hotel was
purchased by Seal Resorts who began renovations and expansion Linda Mainse has old photos
of the property showing it had its own water tower and also cows grazing on the property
(perhaps she can determine the time frame)
ALMA VILLA
389 King Street East Gananoque ON CON 1 PT LOT 1415 28R7427 PART 1
The Alma Villa 398 King St East was built in 1855 and took three years to complete The building
features a widowrsquos walk and Victorian style windows possibly constructed by a Mr Meggs as he
built many of the stone homes in the area Built for Charles Edwin Britton the fifth child of Daniel
Britton who has an editor at the Gananoque Reporter The home was a show piece in
Gananoque In 1927 the home was purchased for $450000 by Mrs Blanche Day who operated
a tourist home until 1967 The building then became an antique gallery called The Incurable
Collector and in the 90rsquos became the Century 21ReMax real estate office Roger and Linda
Dailey completed extensive renovations to the building in the 90rsquos and it is currently running as
the ReMax office

Council Report 2014ndash09ndashCAO Council Date Subject
Tuesday June 3rd 2014 Dredging of the Harbour
IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at mbrawleypromarkgmailcom or on my cell at 613-329-4900

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time

THE BLINKBONNIE
50 Main Street Gananoque ON PLAN 86 BLK D PT LOT 7 PT LOT 8
Scottish for BeautifulPretty View (Bonnie for pretty and Blink is a look referring to the eyes)
Design Value
The overall building has a classical composition with symmetry and detail and the front door
columns are Doric in style The building features a widowrsquos walk on the top
Historical Value
In 1810 Charles MacDonald came from New York State and went into business with Joel
Stone He married Mary Stone the daughter of Joel and built a frame house on the property in
1812 The frame house burned down in 1828 and was replaced in 1843 and again partially
destroyed by fire and rebuilt and expanded Charles died in 1826 and his eldest son William
Shane MacDonald took over business interests and lived at the Blinkbonnie until his death in
1902 At some point the home became a Hotel and over the years became an eyesore and very
rundown In the 70rsquos the Hotel was a strip joint with mud wrestling In 1984 the Hotel was
purchased by Seal Resorts who began renovations and expansion Linda Mainse has old photos
of the property showing it had its own water tower and also cows grazing on the property
(perhaps she can determine the time frame)
ALMA VILLA
389 King Street East Gananoque ON CON 1 PT LOT 1415 28R7427 PART 1
The Alma Villa 398 King St East was built in 1855 and took three years to complete The building
features a widowrsquos walk and Victorian style windows possibly constructed by a Mr Meggs as he
built many of the stone homes in the area Built for Charles Edwin Britton the fifth child of Daniel
Britton who has an editor at the Gananoque Reporter The home was a show piece in
Gananoque In 1927 the home was purchased for $450000 by Mrs Blanche Day who operated
a tourist home until 1967 The building then became an antique gallery called The Incurable
Collector and in the 90rsquos became the Century 21ReMax real estate office Roger and Linda
Dailey completed extensive renovations to the building in the 90rsquos and it is currently running as
the ReMax office

Tuesday June 3rd 2014 Dredging of the Harbour
IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time
Need for Ontario Low Income Adult Dental Program Poor oral health among adults is associated with pain and loss of teeth and is also linked to heart disease diabetes and a host of other health problems About one in three families does not have access to dental insurance which limits access to both preventive and dental treatment by a dentist or dental hygienist In 2012 there were 1708 visits to hospital emergency rooms in our area related to dental concerns The Board of Health voted to send a letter to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care advocating for a sustainable dental program to assist low-income adults and seniors in Ontario Primary Care Collaboration Within the organization we are looking carefully at how best to collaborate with our primary care partners Our involvement with the LHINS Health Links enables us to work at the system level and there are many opportunities for us to collaborate in areas such as communicable disease control immunization the 18 month baby visit smoking cessation falls in seniors and the list goes on Two of our managers are contributing to the alPHa-Primary Care conference in June and three Board members are attending This will give us new material to think about as we go forward Prenatal Class On-line The Health Unit is offering a new prenatal class on-line for those who find it hard to attend classes in person This will be a pilot at no cost to participants while we assess response and satisfaction with the course Tick Season is Here We are in the season where ticks particularly nymphs are looking for their blood meal from a mammal which includes humans This meal allows them to move to the next stage in their life cycle The Health Unit has issued a media release about preventing tick bites and what to do if one occurs Information has also been sent to health care providers Tanning Bed Salons Tanning bed salons are not allowed to provide service to individuals under age 18 as of May 1 2014 according to new provincial legislation Public Health Unit staff will provide education to public and tanning bed salons and respond to public complaints This is an important initiative to reduce the risk of melanoma a skin cancer that is on the rise caused by early and frequent exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds

Historical Value
In 1810 Charles MacDonald came from New York State and went into business with Joel
Stone He married Mary Stone the daughter of Joel and built a frame house on the property in
1812 The frame house burned down in 1828 and was replaced in 1843 and again partially
destroyed by fire and rebuilt and expanded Charles died in 1826 and his eldest son William
Shane MacDonald took over business interests and lived at the Blinkbonnie until his death in
1902 At some point the home became a Hotel and over the years became an eyesore and very
rundown In the 70rsquos the Hotel was a strip joint with mud wrestling In 1984 the Hotel was
purchased by Seal Resorts who began renovations and expansion Linda Mainse has old photos
of the property showing it had its own water tower and also cows grazing on the property
(perhaps she can determine the time frame)
ALMA VILLA

The Alma Villa 398 King St East was built in 1855 and took three years to complete The building
features a widowrsquos walk and Victorian style windows possibly constructed by a Mr Meggs as he
built many of the stone homes in the area Built for Charles Edwin Britton the fifth child of Daniel
Britton who has an editor at the Gananoque Reporter The home was a show piece in
Gananoque In 1927 the home was purchased for $450000 by Mrs Blanche Day who operated
a tourist home until 1967 The building then became an antique gallery called The Incurable
Collector and in the 90rsquos became the Century 21ReMax real estate office Roger and Linda
Dailey completed extensive renovations to the building in the 90rsquos and it is currently running as
the ReMax office

Tuesday June 3rd 2014 Dredging of the Harbour
IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Mr Robert Small CAO Town of Gananoque 30 King Street East Gananoque Ontario K7G 2T6
Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time
Need for Ontario Low Income Adult Dental Program Poor oral health among adults is associated with pain and loss of teeth and is also linked to heart disease diabetes and a host of other health problems About one in three families does not have access to dental insurance which limits access to both preventive and dental treatment by a dentist or dental hygienist In 2012 there were 1708 visits to hospital emergency rooms in our area related to dental concerns The Board of Health voted to send a letter to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care advocating for a sustainable dental program to assist low-income adults and seniors in Ontario Primary Care Collaboration Within the organization we are looking carefully at how best to collaborate with our primary care partners Our involvement with the LHINS Health Links enables us to work at the system level and there are many opportunities for us to collaborate in areas such as communicable disease control immunization the 18 month baby visit smoking cessation falls in seniors and the list goes on Two of our managers are contributing to the alPHa-Primary Care conference in June and three Board members are attending This will give us new material to think about as we go forward Prenatal Class On-line The Health Unit is offering a new prenatal class on-line for those who find it hard to attend classes in person This will be a pilot at no cost to participants while we assess response and satisfaction with the course Tick Season is Here We are in the season where ticks particularly nymphs are looking for their blood meal from a mammal which includes humans This meal allows them to move to the next stage in their life cycle The Health Unit has issued a media release about preventing tick bites and what to do if one occurs Information has also been sent to health care providers Tanning Bed Salons Tanning bed salons are not allowed to provide service to individuals under age 18 as of May 1 2014 according to new provincial legislation Public Health Unit staff will provide education to public and tanning bed salons and respond to public complaints This is an important initiative to reduce the risk of melanoma a skin cancer that is on the rise caused by early and frequent exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds

In 1810 Charles MacDonald came from New York State and went into business with Joel
Stone He married Mary Stone the daughter of Joel and built a frame house on the property in
1812 The frame house burned down in 1828 and was replaced in 1843 and again partially
destroyed by fire and rebuilt and expanded Charles died in 1826 and his eldest son William
Shane MacDonald took over business interests and lived at the Blinkbonnie until his death in
1902 At some point the home became a Hotel and over the years became an eyesore and very
rundown In the 70rsquos the Hotel was a strip joint with mud wrestling In 1984 the Hotel was
purchased by Seal Resorts who began renovations and expansion Linda Mainse has old photos
of the property showing it had its own water tower and also cows grazing on the property
(perhaps she can determine the time frame)

Gananoque In 1927 the home was purchased for $450000 by Mrs Blanche Day who operated
a tourist home until 1967 The building then became an antique gallery called The Incurable
Collector and in the 90rsquos became the Century 21ReMax real estate office Roger and Linda

Tuesday June 3rd 2014 Dredging of the Harbour
IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Summary

Need for Ontario Low Income Adult Dental Program Poor oral health among adults is associated with pain and loss of teeth and is also linked to heart disease diabetes and a host of other health problems About one in three families does not have access to dental insurance which limits access to both preventive and dental treatment by a dentist or dental hygienist In 2012 there were 1708 visits to hospital emergency rooms in our area related to dental concerns The Board of Health voted to send a letter to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care advocating for a sustainable dental program to assist low-income adults and seniors in Ontario Primary Care Collaboration Within the organization we are looking carefully at how best to collaborate with our primary care partners Our involvement with the LHINS Health Links enables us to work at the system level and there are many opportunities for us to collaborate in areas such as communicable disease control immunization the 18 month baby visit smoking cessation falls in seniors and the list goes on Two of our managers are contributing to the alPHa-Primary Care conference in June and three Board members are attending This will give us new material to think about as we go forward Prenatal Class On-line The Health Unit is offering a new prenatal class on-line for those who find it hard to attend classes in person This will be a pilot at no cost to participants while we assess response and satisfaction with the course Tick Season is Here We are in the season where ticks particularly nymphs are looking for their blood meal from a mammal which includes humans This meal allows them to move to the next stage in their life cycle The Health Unit has issued a media release about preventing tick bites and what to do if one occurs Information has also been sent to health care providers Tanning Bed Salons Tanning bed salons are not allowed to provide service to individuals under age 18 as of May 1 2014 according to new provincial legislation Public Health Unit staff will provide education to public and tanning bed salons and respond to public complaints This is an important initiative to reduce the risk of melanoma a skin cancer that is on the rise caused by early and frequent exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds

Historical Value
In 1810 Charles MacDonald came from New York State and went into business with Joel
Stone He married Mary Stone the daughter of Joel and built a frame house on the property in
1812 The frame house burned down in 1828 and was replaced in 1843 and again partially
destroyed by fire and rebuilt and expanded Charles died in 1826 and his eldest son William
Shane MacDonald took over business interests and lived at the Blinkbonnie until his death in
1902 At some point the home became a Hotel and over the years became an eyesore and very
rundown In the 70rsquos the Hotel was a strip joint with mud wrestling In 1984 the Hotel was
purchased by Seal Resorts who began renovations and expansion Linda Mainse has old photos
of the property showing it had its own water tower and also cows grazing on the property
(perhaps she can determine the time frame)

Gananoque In 1927 the home was purchased for $450000 by Mrs Blanche Day who operated
a tourist home until 1967 The building then became an antique gallery called The Incurable
Collector and in the 90rsquos became the Century 21ReMax real estate office Roger and Linda
Dailey completed extensive renovations to the building in the 90rsquos and it is currently running as
the ReMax office

Tuesday June 3rd 2014 Dredging of the Harbour
IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Mr Robert Small CAO Town of Gananoque 30 King Street East Gananoque Ontario K7G 2T6
Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time

Historical Value
In 1810 Charles MacDonald came from New York State and went into business with Joel
Stone He married Mary Stone the daughter of Joel and built a frame house on the property in
1812 The frame house burned down in 1828 and was replaced in 1843 and again partially
destroyed by fire and rebuilt and expanded Charles died in 1826 and his eldest son William
Shane MacDonald took over business interests and lived at the Blinkbonnie until his death in
1902 At some point the home became a Hotel and over the years became an eyesore and very
rundown In the 70rsquos the Hotel was a strip joint with mud wrestling In 1984 the Hotel was
purchased by Seal Resorts who began renovations and expansion Linda Mainse has old photos
of the property showing it had its own water tower and also cows grazing on the property
(perhaps she can determine the time frame)

Gananoque In 1927 the home was purchased for $450000 by Mrs Blanche Day who operated
a tourist home until 1967 The building then became an antique gallery called The Incurable
Collector and in the 90rsquos became the Century 21ReMax real estate office Roger and Linda

Tuesday June 3rd 2014 Dredging of the Harbour
IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council

Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time
Need for Ontario Low Income Adult Dental Program Poor oral health among adults is associated with pain and loss of teeth and is also linked to heart disease diabetes and a host of other health problems About one in three families does not have access to dental insurance which limits access to both preventive and dental treatment by a dentist or dental hygienist In 2012 there were 1708 visits to hospital emergency rooms in our area related to dental concerns The Board of Health voted to send a letter to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care advocating for a sustainable dental program to assist low-income adults and seniors in Ontario Primary Care Collaboration Within the organization we are looking carefully at how best to collaborate with our primary care partners Our involvement with the LHINS Health Links enables us to work at the system level and there are many opportunities for us to collaborate in areas such as communicable disease control immunization the 18 month baby visit smoking cessation falls in seniors and the list goes on Two of our managers are contributing to the alPHa-Primary Care conference in June and three Board members are attending This will give us new material to think about as we go forward Prenatal Class On-line The Health Unit is offering a new prenatal class on-line for those who find it hard to attend classes in person This will be a pilot at no cost to participants while we assess response and satisfaction with the course Tick Season is Here We are in the season where ticks particularly nymphs are looking for their blood meal from a mammal which includes humans This meal allows them to move to the next stage in their life cycle The Health Unit has issued a media release about preventing tick bites and what to do if one occurs Information has also been sent to health care providers Tanning Bed Salons Tanning bed salons are not allowed to provide service to individuals under age 18 as of May 1 2014 according to new provincial legislation Public Health Unit staff will provide education to public and tanning bed salons and respond to public complaints This is an important initiative to reduce the risk of melanoma a skin cancer that is on the rise caused by early and frequent exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds

Historical Value
In 1810 Charles MacDonald came from New York State and went into business with Joel
Stone He married Mary Stone the daughter of Joel and built a frame house on the property in
1812 The frame house burned down in 1828 and was replaced in 1843 and again partially
destroyed by fire and rebuilt and expanded Charles died in 1826 and his eldest son William
Shane MacDonald took over business interests and lived at the Blinkbonnie until his death in
1902 At some point the home became a Hotel and over the years became an eyesore and very
rundown In the 70rsquos the Hotel was a strip joint with mud wrestling In 1984 the Hotel was
purchased by Seal Resorts who began renovations and expansion Linda Mainse has old photos
of the property showing it had its own water tower and also cows grazing on the property
(perhaps she can determine the time frame)

a tourist home until 1967 The building then became an antique gallery called The Incurable
Collector and in the 90rsquos became the Century 21ReMax real estate office Roger and Linda
Dailey completed extensive renovations to the building in the 90rsquos and it is currently running as
the ReMax office

Tuesday June 3rd 2014 Dredging of the Harbour
IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time
Need for Ontario Low Income Adult Dental Program Poor oral health among adults is associated with pain and loss of teeth and is also linked to heart disease diabetes and a host of other health problems About one in three families does not have access to dental insurance which limits access to both preventive and dental treatment by a dentist or dental hygienist In 2012 there were 1708 visits to hospital emergency rooms in our area related to dental concerns The Board of Health voted to send a letter to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care advocating for a sustainable dental program to assist low-income adults and seniors in Ontario Primary Care Collaboration Within the organization we are looking carefully at how best to collaborate with our primary care partners Our involvement with the LHINS Health Links enables us to work at the system level and there are many opportunities for us to collaborate in areas such as communicable disease control immunization the 18 month baby visit smoking cessation falls in seniors and the list goes on Two of our managers are contributing to the alPHa-Primary Care conference in June and three Board members are attending This will give us new material to think about as we go forward Prenatal Class On-line The Health Unit is offering a new prenatal class on-line for those who find it hard to attend classes in person This will be a pilot at no cost to participants while we assess response and satisfaction with the course Tick Season is Here We are in the season where ticks particularly nymphs are looking for their blood meal from a mammal which includes humans This meal allows them to move to the next stage in their life cycle The Health Unit has issued a media release about preventing tick bites and what to do if one occurs Information has also been sent to health care providers Tanning Bed Salons Tanning bed salons are not allowed to provide service to individuals under age 18 as of May 1 2014 according to new provincial legislation Public Health Unit staff will provide education to public and tanning bed salons and respond to public complaints This is an important initiative to reduce the risk of melanoma a skin cancer that is on the rise caused by early and frequent exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds

Tuesday June 3rd 2014 Dredging of the Harbour
IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Summary

IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time
Need for Ontario Low Income Adult Dental Program Poor oral health among adults is associated with pain and loss of teeth and is also linked to heart disease diabetes and a host of other health problems About one in three families does not have access to dental insurance which limits access to both preventive and dental treatment by a dentist or dental hygienist In 2012 there were 1708 visits to hospital emergency rooms in our area related to dental concerns The Board of Health voted to send a letter to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care advocating for a sustainable dental program to assist low-income adults and seniors in Ontario Primary Care Collaboration Within the organization we are looking carefully at how best to collaborate with our primary care partners Our involvement with the LHINS Health Links enables us to work at the system level and there are many opportunities for us to collaborate in areas such as communicable disease control immunization the 18 month baby visit smoking cessation falls in seniors and the list goes on Two of our managers are contributing to the alPHa-Primary Care conference in June and three Board members are attending This will give us new material to think about as we go forward Prenatal Class On-line The Health Unit is offering a new prenatal class on-line for those who find it hard to attend classes in person This will be a pilot at no cost to participants while we assess response and satisfaction with the course Tick Season is Here We are in the season where ticks particularly nymphs are looking for their blood meal from a mammal which includes humans This meal allows them to move to the next stage in their life cycle The Health Unit has issued a media release about preventing tick bites and what to do if one occurs Information has also been sent to health care providers Tanning Bed Salons Tanning bed salons are not allowed to provide service to individuals under age 18 as of May 1 2014 according to new provincial legislation Public Health Unit staff will provide education to public and tanning bed salons and respond to public complaints This is an important initiative to reduce the risk of melanoma a skin cancer that is on the rise caused by early and frequent exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds

Council Report 2014ndash09ndashCAO Council Date Subject
Tuesday June 3rd 2014 Dredging of the Harbour
IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time
Need for Ontario Low Income Adult Dental Program Poor oral health among adults is associated with pain and loss of teeth and is also linked to heart disease diabetes and a host of other health problems About one in three families does not have access to dental insurance which limits access to both preventive and dental treatment by a dentist or dental hygienist In 2012 there were 1708 visits to hospital emergency rooms in our area related to dental concerns The Board of Health voted to send a letter to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care advocating for a sustainable dental program to assist low-income adults and seniors in Ontario Primary Care Collaboration Within the organization we are looking carefully at how best to collaborate with our primary care partners Our involvement with the LHINS Health Links enables us to work at the system level and there are many opportunities for us to collaborate in areas such as communicable disease control immunization the 18 month baby visit smoking cessation falls in seniors and the list goes on Two of our managers are contributing to the alPHa-Primary Care conference in June and three Board members are attending This will give us new material to think about as we go forward Prenatal Class On-line The Health Unit is offering a new prenatal class on-line for those who find it hard to attend classes in person This will be a pilot at no cost to participants while we assess response and satisfaction with the course Tick Season is Here We are in the season where ticks particularly nymphs are looking for their blood meal from a mammal which includes humans This meal allows them to move to the next stage in their life cycle The Health Unit has issued a media release about preventing tick bites and what to do if one occurs Information has also been sent to health care providers Tanning Bed Salons Tanning bed salons are not allowed to provide service to individuals under age 18 as of May 1 2014 according to new provincial legislation Public Health Unit staff will provide education to public and tanning bed salons and respond to public complaints This is an important initiative to reduce the risk of melanoma a skin cancer that is on the rise caused by early and frequent exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds

Tuesday June 3rd 2014 Dredging of the Harbour
IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at mbrawleypromarkgmailcom or on my cell at 613-329-4900

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time

Tuesday June 3rd 2014 Dredging of the Harbour
IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Mr Robert Small CAO Town of Gananoque 30 King Street East Gananoque Ontario K7G 2T6
Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Tuesday June 3rd 2014 Dredging of the Harbour
IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council

IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time
Need for Ontario Low Income Adult Dental Program Poor oral health among adults is associated with pain and loss of teeth and is also linked to heart disease diabetes and a host of other health problems About one in three families does not have access to dental insurance which limits access to both preventive and dental treatment by a dentist or dental hygienist In 2012 there were 1708 visits to hospital emergency rooms in our area related to dental concerns The Board of Health voted to send a letter to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care advocating for a sustainable dental program to assist low-income adults and seniors in Ontario Primary Care Collaboration Within the organization we are looking carefully at how best to collaborate with our primary care partners Our involvement with the LHINS Health Links enables us to work at the system level and there are many opportunities for us to collaborate in areas such as communicable disease control immunization the 18 month baby visit smoking cessation falls in seniors and the list goes on Two of our managers are contributing to the alPHa-Primary Care conference in June and three Board members are attending This will give us new material to think about as we go forward Prenatal Class On-line The Health Unit is offering a new prenatal class on-line for those who find it hard to attend classes in person This will be a pilot at no cost to participants while we assess response and satisfaction with the course Tick Season is Here We are in the season where ticks particularly nymphs are looking for their blood meal from a mammal which includes humans This meal allows them to move to the next stage in their life cycle The Health Unit has issued a media release about preventing tick bites and what to do if one occurs Information has also been sent to health care providers Tanning Bed Salons Tanning bed salons are not allowed to provide service to individuals under age 18 as of May 1 2014 according to new provincial legislation Public Health Unit staff will provide education to public and tanning bed salons and respond to public complaints This is an important initiative to reduce the risk of melanoma a skin cancer that is on the rise caused by early and frequent exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds

IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time

Tuesday June 3rd 2014 Dredging of the Harbour
IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Mr Robert Small CAO Town of Gananoque 30 King Street East Gananoque Ontario K7G 2T6
Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time
Need for Ontario Low Income Adult Dental Program Poor oral health among adults is associated with pain and loss of teeth and is also linked to heart disease diabetes and a host of other health problems About one in three families does not have access to dental insurance which limits access to both preventive and dental treatment by a dentist or dental hygienist In 2012 there were 1708 visits to hospital emergency rooms in our area related to dental concerns The Board of Health voted to send a letter to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care advocating for a sustainable dental program to assist low-income adults and seniors in Ontario Primary Care Collaboration Within the organization we are looking carefully at how best to collaborate with our primary care partners Our involvement with the LHINS Health Links enables us to work at the system level and there are many opportunities for us to collaborate in areas such as communicable disease control immunization the 18 month baby visit smoking cessation falls in seniors and the list goes on Two of our managers are contributing to the alPHa-Primary Care conference in June and three Board members are attending This will give us new material to think about as we go forward Prenatal Class On-line The Health Unit is offering a new prenatal class on-line for those who find it hard to attend classes in person This will be a pilot at no cost to participants while we assess response and satisfaction with the course Tick Season is Here We are in the season where ticks particularly nymphs are looking for their blood meal from a mammal which includes humans This meal allows them to move to the next stage in their life cycle The Health Unit has issued a media release about preventing tick bites and what to do if one occurs Information has also been sent to health care providers Tanning Bed Salons Tanning bed salons are not allowed to provide service to individuals under age 18 as of May 1 2014 according to new provincial legislation Public Health Unit staff will provide education to public and tanning bed salons and respond to public complaints This is an important initiative to reduce the risk of melanoma a skin cancer that is on the rise caused by early and frequent exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds

Tuesday June 3rd 2014 Dredging of the Harbour
IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time
Need for Ontario Low Income Adult Dental Program Poor oral health among adults is associated with pain and loss of teeth and is also linked to heart disease diabetes and a host of other health problems About one in three families does not have access to dental insurance which limits access to both preventive and dental treatment by a dentist or dental hygienist In 2012 there were 1708 visits to hospital emergency rooms in our area related to dental concerns The Board of Health voted to send a letter to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care advocating for a sustainable dental program to assist low-income adults and seniors in Ontario Primary Care Collaboration Within the organization we are looking carefully at how best to collaborate with our primary care partners Our involvement with the LHINS Health Links enables us to work at the system level and there are many opportunities for us to collaborate in areas such as communicable disease control immunization the 18 month baby visit smoking cessation falls in seniors and the list goes on Two of our managers are contributing to the alPHa-Primary Care conference in June and three Board members are attending This will give us new material to think about as we go forward Prenatal Class On-line The Health Unit is offering a new prenatal class on-line for those who find it hard to attend classes in person This will be a pilot at no cost to participants while we assess response and satisfaction with the course Tick Season is Here We are in the season where ticks particularly nymphs are looking for their blood meal from a mammal which includes humans This meal allows them to move to the next stage in their life cycle The Health Unit has issued a media release about preventing tick bites and what to do if one occurs Information has also been sent to health care providers Tanning Bed Salons Tanning bed salons are not allowed to provide service to individuals under age 18 as of May 1 2014 according to new provincial legislation Public Health Unit staff will provide education to public and tanning bed salons and respond to public complaints This is an important initiative to reduce the risk of melanoma a skin cancer that is on the rise caused by early and frequent exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds

IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time

IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Mr Robert Small CAO Town of Gananoque 30 King Street East Gananoque Ontario K7G 2T6
Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time
Need for Ontario Low Income Adult Dental Program Poor oral health among adults is associated with pain and loss of teeth and is also linked to heart disease diabetes and a host of other health problems About one in three families does not have access to dental insurance which limits access to both preventive and dental treatment by a dentist or dental hygienist In 2012 there were 1708 visits to hospital emergency rooms in our area related to dental concerns The Board of Health voted to send a letter to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care advocating for a sustainable dental program to assist low-income adults and seniors in Ontario Primary Care Collaboration Within the organization we are looking carefully at how best to collaborate with our primary care partners Our involvement with the LHINS Health Links enables us to work at the system level and there are many opportunities for us to collaborate in areas such as communicable disease control immunization the 18 month baby visit smoking cessation falls in seniors and the list goes on Two of our managers are contributing to the alPHa-Primary Care conference in June and three Board members are attending This will give us new material to think about as we go forward Prenatal Class On-line The Health Unit is offering a new prenatal class on-line for those who find it hard to attend classes in person This will be a pilot at no cost to participants while we assess response and satisfaction with the course Tick Season is Here We are in the season where ticks particularly nymphs are looking for their blood meal from a mammal which includes humans This meal allows them to move to the next stage in their life cycle The Health Unit has issued a media release about preventing tick bites and what to do if one occurs Information has also been sent to health care providers Tanning Bed Salons Tanning bed salons are not allowed to provide service to individuals under age 18 as of May 1 2014 according to new provincial legislation Public Health Unit staff will provide education to public and tanning bed salons and respond to public complaints This is an important initiative to reduce the risk of melanoma a skin cancer that is on the rise caused by early and frequent exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds

Tuesday June 3rd 2014 Dredging of the Harbour
IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time

IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few

Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time

IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at mbrawleypromarkgmailcom or on my cell at 613-329-4900

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time
Need for Ontario Low Income Adult Dental Program Poor oral health among adults is associated with pain and loss of teeth and is also linked to heart disease diabetes and a host of other health problems About one in three families does not have access to dental insurance which limits access to both preventive and dental treatment by a dentist or dental hygienist In 2012 there were 1708 visits to hospital emergency rooms in our area related to dental concerns The Board of Health voted to send a letter to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care advocating for a sustainable dental program to assist low-income adults and seniors in Ontario Primary Care Collaboration Within the organization we are looking carefully at how best to collaborate with our primary care partners Our involvement with the LHINS Health Links enables us to work at the system level and there are many opportunities for us to collaborate in areas such as communicable disease control immunization the 18 month baby visit smoking cessation falls in seniors and the list goes on Two of our managers are contributing to the alPHa-Primary Care conference in June and three Board members are attending This will give us new material to think about as we go forward Prenatal Class On-line The Health Unit is offering a new prenatal class on-line for those who find it hard to attend classes in person This will be a pilot at no cost to participants while we assess response and satisfaction with the course Tick Season is Here We are in the season where ticks particularly nymphs are looking for their blood meal from a mammal which includes humans This meal allows them to move to the next stage in their life cycle The Health Unit has issued a media release about preventing tick bites and what to do if one occurs Information has also been sent to health care providers Tanning Bed Salons Tanning bed salons are not allowed to provide service to individuals under age 18 as of May 1 2014 according to new provincial legislation Public Health Unit staff will provide education to public and tanning bed salons and respond to public complaints This is an important initiative to reduce the risk of melanoma a skin cancer that is on the rise caused by early and frequent exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds

BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council

IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council

Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time
Need for Ontario Low Income Adult Dental Program Poor oral health among adults is associated with pain and loss of teeth and is also linked to heart disease diabetes and a host of other health problems About one in three families does not have access to dental insurance which limits access to both preventive and dental treatment by a dentist or dental hygienist In 2012 there were 1708 visits to hospital emergency rooms in our area related to dental concerns The Board of Health voted to send a letter to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care advocating for a sustainable dental program to assist low-income adults and seniors in Ontario Primary Care Collaboration Within the organization we are looking carefully at how best to collaborate with our primary care partners Our involvement with the LHINS Health Links enables us to work at the system level and there are many opportunities for us to collaborate in areas such as communicable disease control immunization the 18 month baby visit smoking cessation falls in seniors and the list goes on Two of our managers are contributing to the alPHa-Primary Care conference in June and three Board members are attending This will give us new material to think about as we go forward Prenatal Class On-line The Health Unit is offering a new prenatal class on-line for those who find it hard to attend classes in person This will be a pilot at no cost to participants while we assess response and satisfaction with the course Tick Season is Here We are in the season where ticks particularly nymphs are looking for their blood meal from a mammal which includes humans This meal allows them to move to the next stage in their life cycle The Health Unit has issued a media release about preventing tick bites and what to do if one occurs Information has also been sent to health care providers Tanning Bed Salons Tanning bed salons are not allowed to provide service to individuals under age 18 as of May 1 2014 according to new provincial legislation Public Health Unit staff will provide education to public and tanning bed salons and respond to public complaints This is an important initiative to reduce the risk of melanoma a skin cancer that is on the rise caused by early and frequent exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds

Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Council Report 2014ndash09ndashCAO Council Date Subject
Tuesday June 3rd 2014 Dredging of the Harbour
IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time

Tuesday June 3rd 2014 Dredging of the Harbour
IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council

Summary

IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council

Tuesday June 3rd 2014 Dredging of the Harbour
IN CAMERA OPEN COUNCIL
Author Robert Small Chief Administrative Officer
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the following recommendations
1) That the Town of Gananoque engage Riggs Engineering to secure the necessary permits to dredge various locations in the Harbour
2) And further that Riggs Engineering prepare a tender for the Dredging at the earliest possible date
BACKGROUND Sue Smith Bill McKennan and I met with Ken Kehoe of Kehoe Marine Construction and Stu Seabrook from Riggs Engineering on May 22nd to discuss the Dredging of the Harbour who were both under contract with the Municipality to complete the Breakwater project We were informed that permits had to be in as soon as possible as dredging must be completed by October 31st In order to accommodate expand current and future boating demands and safety staff are recommending the harbour be dredged The St Lawrence River is known to experience variable water depths which creates an unsafe boating environment The time frame to get approvals is three to five months therefore it is imperative that we start the process immediately INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION Based on the information received from Riggs during the completion on the Breakwater Project the Town was made aware that dredging would be required in the very near future to allow for safe use of the Harbour It will be necessary to dredge from the 800 series of docks to the shoreline (please see attached drawing) The cost for the dredge permit approval process bid preparation and contraction administration will be $2000000 plus HST according to the attached proposal from Riggs Engineering

Mr Robert Small CAO Town of Gananoque 30 King Street East Gananoque Ontario K7G 2T6
Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time

Dear Mr Small
Re Proposal for Engineering Services - Gananoque Marina Dredging to Facilitate Development of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock INTRODUCTION As per our recent meeting regarding potential construction of a Contractors Dock and Gas Dock at Gananoque Municipal Marina please find herein our proposal for permitting and contract documentation for dredging that would be necessary to facilitate this development It is expected that all work will be restricted to within the present Town of Gananoque waterlot as presented in Figure1 Because there are no current concepts for potential dock configuration due to the need to confirm approved dredging limits and constraints the anticipated project limits presented here are subject to further discussion We have defined our proposed work plan under two separate primary tasks as described below WORK PLAN Permitting Permitting for the dredging work will require an accurate delineation of the dredge area and definition of quantities an assessment of the quality of the dredge material development of an acceptable dredge operation plan and identification of an appropriate disposal site It is our understanding that there has been historic dredging within the Gananoque Marina this information will be important to summarize for consideration by permitting agencies On this basis the following sub-tasks are proposed
bull Background Information Compilation - historic dredging information will be collected as may be available from Town of Gananoque and historic Transport Canada files and summarized to support the permitting process In addition to historic dredging records any relevant information regarding utility conflicts or site constraints will be documented for inclusion in the contract package
bull Bathymetric Survey - a bathymetric survey of the proposed dredge area will be completed to define existing conditions as a basis for calculating dredge volumes constraints and payments The expected approximate area of interest for the survey as may be required to accommodate the development of a contractors dock and marina gas dock is presented in Figure 1 The final proposed dredge area will be subject to permitting requirements
bull Sediment Sampling and Analysis - we would proposed that 5 sediment samples are collected during the bathymetric survey program and are analyzed for physical characteristics and sediment chemistry Three of the locations will be

cored This information will assist in assessing viable dredge methods and potential dredge disposal areas
bull Evaluation of Disposal Sites - Based on the sediment testing results and discussions with Town of Gananoque Staff potential dredge material disposal areas will be considered and the preferred site selected based on sediment quality available property and known site constraints
bull Dredging Plan - A preliminary dredge plan showing existing and proposed bed elevations will be developed to support the permit application The preferred dredge limits will be confirmed in Consultation with Town Staff in order to best accommodate potential contractor and gas dock configurations within the known physical and environmental site constraints Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for the dredging and disposal operations Removal of tires from the old floating breakwater which have settled onto and into the lake bed will be included in the dredge plan as necessary where they lie within the dredge limits and in adjacent slip areas where deemed necessary through consultation with Town Marina Staff
bull Permitting - Permit applications will be prepared for relevant approval agencies which may include Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Transport Canada (TC) and Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) The permit application will include the preliminary dredge plan environmental protection plan and information regarding dredge disposal as well as any require supporting discussion
Contract Administration The contract administration tasks will provide for the development of contract documents for bidding by potential contractors and will identify tolerances procedures for payment and environmental management requirements for the contract The following sub-tasks are proposed for the Contract Administration
bull Project Drawings - Dredge Plan drawings will be finalized upon permit approval Plans will delineate all relevant vertical and horizontal control points to guide the contractor and will identify all known conflicts and or dredge constraints and associated accommodations
bull Project Specifications and Bid Form - Specifications will be developed based on the proposed dredge plan Methods and procedures not left to the contractors discretion will be identified within the specifications with submission procedures to confirm acceptance of methods and procedures to be proposed by the contractor Relevant measurement and payment procedures will be defined as will specification of material and method of execution for the dredging and disposal operations and environmental protection and management A project bid form will be prepared in accordance with the Towns intended procurement process
bull Bid Evaluation Support - Valid bids will be reviewed by Riggs Engineering as may be required by the Town in order to ensure the most advantageous bid is awarded
bull Construction Administration - Riggs Engineering can provide construction administration as required by the Town of Gananoque A budget figure is provided in this document assuming 4 site visits during the project and office support Adjustments to the required level of support and associated costs can be accommodated through discussion with the Town
bull Post Dredge Survey - Riggs Engineering would undertake a post-dredge bathymetric survey to confirm as-constructed conditions are in accordance with project design and tolerances and for assessment of infill rates

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council

Need for Ontario Low Income Adult Dental Program Poor oral health among adults is associated with pain and loss of teeth and is also linked to heart disease diabetes and a host of other health problems About one in three families does not have access to dental insurance which limits access to both preventive and dental treatment by a dentist or dental hygienist In 2012 there were 1708 visits to hospital emergency rooms in our area related to dental concerns The Board of Health voted to send a letter to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care advocating for a sustainable dental program to assist low-income adults and seniors in Ontario Primary Care Collaboration Within the organization we are looking carefully at how best to collaborate with our primary care partners Our involvement with the LHINS Health Links enables us to work at the system level and there are many opportunities for us to collaborate in areas such as communicable disease control immunization the 18 month baby visit smoking cessation falls in seniors and the list goes on Two of our managers are contributing to the alPHa-Primary Care conference in June and three Board members are attending This will give us new material to think about as we go forward Prenatal Class On-line The Health Unit is offering a new prenatal class on-line for those who find it hard to attend classes in person This will be a pilot at no cost to participants while we assess response and satisfaction with the course Tick Season is Here We are in the season where ticks particularly nymphs are looking for their blood meal from a mammal which includes humans This meal allows them to move to the next stage in their life cycle The Health Unit has issued a media release about preventing tick bites and what to do if one occurs Information has also been sent to health care providers Tanning Bed Salons Tanning bed salons are not allowed to provide service to individuals under age 18 as of May 1 2014 according to new provincial legislation Public Health Unit staff will provide education to public and tanning bed salons and respond to public complaints This is an important initiative to reduce the risk of melanoma a skin cancer that is on the rise caused by early and frequent exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time
Need for Ontario Low Income Adult Dental Program Poor oral health among adults is associated with pain and loss of teeth and is also linked to heart disease diabetes and a host of other health problems About one in three families does not have access to dental insurance which limits access to both preventive and dental treatment by a dentist or dental hygienist In 2012 there were 1708 visits to hospital emergency rooms in our area related to dental concerns The Board of Health voted to send a letter to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care advocating for a sustainable dental program to assist low-income adults and seniors in Ontario Primary Care Collaboration Within the organization we are looking carefully at how best to collaborate with our primary care partners Our involvement with the LHINS Health Links enables us to work at the system level and there are many opportunities for us to collaborate in areas such as communicable disease control immunization the 18 month baby visit smoking cessation falls in seniors and the list goes on Two of our managers are contributing to the alPHa-Primary Care conference in June and three Board members are attending This will give us new material to think about as we go forward Prenatal Class On-line The Health Unit is offering a new prenatal class on-line for those who find it hard to attend classes in person This will be a pilot at no cost to participants while we assess response and satisfaction with the course Tick Season is Here We are in the season where ticks particularly nymphs are looking for their blood meal from a mammal which includes humans This meal allows them to move to the next stage in their life cycle The Health Unit has issued a media release about preventing tick bites and what to do if one occurs Information has also been sent to health care providers Tanning Bed Salons Tanning bed salons are not allowed to provide service to individuals under age 18 as of May 1 2014 according to new provincial legislation Public Health Unit staff will provide education to public and tanning bed salons and respond to public complaints This is an important initiative to reduce the risk of melanoma a skin cancer that is on the rise caused by early and frequent exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time
Need for Ontario Low Income Adult Dental Program Poor oral health among adults is associated with pain and loss of teeth and is also linked to heart disease diabetes and a host of other health problems About one in three families does not have access to dental insurance which limits access to both preventive and dental treatment by a dentist or dental hygienist In 2012 there were 1708 visits to hospital emergency rooms in our area related to dental concerns The Board of Health voted to send a letter to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care advocating for a sustainable dental program to assist low-income adults and seniors in Ontario Primary Care Collaboration Within the organization we are looking carefully at how best to collaborate with our primary care partners Our involvement with the LHINS Health Links enables us to work at the system level and there are many opportunities for us to collaborate in areas such as communicable disease control immunization the 18 month baby visit smoking cessation falls in seniors and the list goes on Two of our managers are contributing to the alPHa-Primary Care conference in June and three Board members are attending This will give us new material to think about as we go forward Prenatal Class On-line The Health Unit is offering a new prenatal class on-line for those who find it hard to attend classes in person This will be a pilot at no cost to participants while we assess response and satisfaction with the course Tick Season is Here We are in the season where ticks particularly nymphs are looking for their blood meal from a mammal which includes humans This meal allows them to move to the next stage in their life cycle The Health Unit has issued a media release about preventing tick bites and what to do if one occurs Information has also been sent to health care providers Tanning Bed Salons Tanning bed salons are not allowed to provide service to individuals under age 18 as of May 1 2014 according to new provincial legislation Public Health Unit staff will provide education to public and tanning bed salons and respond to public complaints This is an important initiative to reduce the risk of melanoma a skin cancer that is on the rise caused by early and frequent exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida

At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Summary
Language Express Presentation Catherine Robinson Clinical Coordinator provided a presentation on the success of the Leeds Grenville and Lanark Preschool Speech and Language Program The program provides a variety of services to children and their parents up to senior kindergarten The program has not had an increase in funding since 2007 which influences their ability to respond to all children in a timely manner Creative approaches to programming have allowed the team that is based in both hospitals and CHCrsquos to deliver quality service Auditors Report The Board received a satisfactory Auditors Report for 2013 from Allan Chartered Professional Accountants The Auditorrsquos Management Letter identified four areas of concern related to the payroll cycle vacation carryover and pay-out and the investment account No material problems were identified but the Auditor pointed out potential problems that might occur The Board agreed with Managementrsquos proposals to respond to the concerns 2014 Accountability Indicators As part of the 2014 Accountability Agreement with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) the Health Unit must report on several new performance indicators to complement the existing ones There are now five indicators for Health Promotion Programs and we believe that we can meet each target proposed by the MOHLTC For the nine Health Protection Indicators we have proposed targets for two of the indicators that are lower than 2013 (high and medium risk food premise inspections) because of the additional work required with personal service settings related to the new provincial tanning legislation We will make the required number of inspections for each food premise in 2014 but they may not be within the narrow window required by the MOHLTC targets Quarterly Financial Report The first quarter 2014 financial report shows that expenditures are on track with revenue Management is managing the budget shortfall successfully with planned gapping of empty positions for a period of time
Need for Ontario Low Income Adult Dental Program Poor oral health among adults is associated with pain and loss of teeth and is also linked to heart disease diabetes and a host of other health problems About one in three families does not have access to dental insurance which limits access to both preventive and dental treatment by a dentist or dental hygienist In 2012 there were 1708 visits to hospital emergency rooms in our area related to dental concerns The Board of Health voted to send a letter to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care advocating for a sustainable dental program to assist low-income adults and seniors in Ontario Primary Care Collaboration Within the organization we are looking carefully at how best to collaborate with our primary care partners Our involvement with the LHINS Health Links enables us to work at the system level and there are many opportunities for us to collaborate in areas such as communicable disease control immunization the 18 month baby visit smoking cessation falls in seniors and the list goes on Two of our managers are contributing to the alPHa-Primary Care conference in June and three Board members are attending This will give us new material to think about as we go forward Prenatal Class On-line The Health Unit is offering a new prenatal class on-line for those who find it hard to attend classes in person This will be a pilot at no cost to participants while we assess response and satisfaction with the course Tick Season is Here We are in the season where ticks particularly nymphs are looking for their blood meal from a mammal which includes humans This meal allows them to move to the next stage in their life cycle The Health Unit has issued a media release about preventing tick bites and what to do if one occurs Information has also been sent to health care providers Tanning Bed Salons Tanning bed salons are not allowed to provide service to individuals under age 18 as of May 1 2014 according to new provincial legislation Public Health Unit staff will provide education to public and tanning bed salons and respond to public complaints This is an important initiative to reduce the risk of melanoma a skin cancer that is on the rise caused by early and frequent exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at mbrawleypromarkgmailcom or on my cell at 613-329-4900

I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Mayor and Council
At the council meeting of May 202014 Council received a report recommending that
Town owned waterfront be included in the sale to the developer of the Textron and also
the Town owned water lots be leased to the same developer The proposal from the
developer also seeks to install what appears to be at least 60 slips which would extend
close to 100 feet into the Gananoque River
There are many places such as Vancouver where there is development including high-
rises in close proximity to the ocean yet there is a public strip of perhaps 30 feet which
allows cyclists skateboarders and pedestrians along the waterrsquos edge and there are no
docks or boat slips
If the Town recognizes the importance of public access to our rivers does it make sense
that waterfront property that we already own be sold The Textron property can be sold
for development yet retain for all our citizens and visitors perhaps a 20 foot strip from
which people can fish and have an unimpeded view of the river
A good example of an enlightened approach to public access is Claude Hetuersquos
development on Nalon Road Houses on the east side of the road have a water view but
everyone in the community has access to the river on the River Loop of the Gananoque
Trail There are no docks and there is an uninterrupted view of the river
I hope that long term planning would recognize the importance of the waterfront to our
economic prosperity and to the quality of life for all of our citizens Should a small
number of residents who will own condos in the new buildings have priority over the rest
of the citizens
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

To whom it may concern
The Gananoque Jr B Islanders in conjunction with GMHA and Gan TLTI Little League are planning on having a 1 day Beerfest on August 9th at the Lou Jeffries Centre to raise funds for all three groups
The event will run from approximately 200 pm until 200 am We have already confirmed 3 bands and are also looking into the possability of having some of the younger local musicians play early in the afternoon As of now we will restrict access of anyone below the age of 19 after 500 pm
The plan is to fence off the north side of the arena which will be used to have local food vendors for the duration of the event
One of our group members Judy King is also a local OPP who will be in charge of ensuring that our gathering will be controlled with a higher then expected police presence Judy will be working these details out with your Town Police Chief
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at mbrawleypromarkgmailcom or on my cell at 613-329-4900

Mayor and Council
I think that it is unfortunate that the presentation by Howard Alexander of the Brockville
Arts Task Force regarding a proposed cultural mapping project was not well received by
council I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion but based on most of the questions
asked there seemed to be a suggestion that because we already had a plan there was no
benefit in joining the project
Economic development is a challenge which I believe is best met by many groups and
individuals coming together to share ideas Gananoque does not stop at the gates so
whenever there is an opportunity to look at the bigger picture I think we should do our
due diligence before rejecting an opportunity to work and plan with others
Visitors come to Gananoque to do more than sleep They come to enjoy a variety of
experiences which in many instances includes the surrounding area cultural activities
such as Fort Henry the 1000 Islands Playhouse a Kayaking tour the Rideau Canal Delta
Mill Eagle Point Winery cycling on the bike path hike at Marble Rock play golf visit
the Doner Gallery take a boat tour and the list goes on It is in our best interests for
Gananoque to be a hub from which visitors can access other experiences and stay a few
extra days
Cultural mapping identifies and locates a wide variety of resources which locals and
visitors can learn about and access The mapping is the first step for planning how
regional cultural resources can be used to expand this sector of our economy As was
pointed out during the presentation cultural elements which have the fourth most
significant impact on our economy cannot be ignored According to Richard Florida
culture and creativity are the new economic drivers
At the very least it would make sense to have a representative attend an inaugural
meeting to see where the project is going how it might be of benefit to Gananoque and
report back to Council
Thank you for your consideration

Need for Ontario Low Income Adult Dental Program Poor oral health among adults is associated with pain and loss of teeth and is also linked to heart disease diabetes and a host of other health problems About one in three families does not have access to dental insurance which limits access to both preventive and dental treatment by a dentist or dental hygienist In 2012 there were 1708 visits to hospital emergency rooms in our area related to dental concerns The Board of Health voted to send a letter to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care advocating for a sustainable dental program to assist low-income adults and seniors in Ontario Primary Care Collaboration Within the organization we are looking carefully at how best to collaborate with our primary care partners Our involvement with the LHINS Health Links enables us to work at the system level and there are many opportunities for us to collaborate in areas such as communicable disease control immunization the 18 month baby visit smoking cessation falls in seniors and the list goes on Two of our managers are contributing to the alPHa-Primary Care conference in June and three Board members are attending This will give us new material to think about as we go forward Prenatal Class On-line The Health Unit is offering a new prenatal class on-line for those who find it hard to attend classes in person This will be a pilot at no cost to participants while we assess response and satisfaction with the course Tick Season is Here We are in the season where ticks particularly nymphs are looking for their blood meal from a mammal which includes humans This meal allows them to move to the next stage in their life cycle The Health Unit has issued a media release about preventing tick bites and what to do if one occurs Information has also been sent to health care providers Tanning Bed Salons Tanning bed salons are not allowed to provide service to individuals under age 18 as of May 1 2014 according to new provincial legislation Public Health Unit staff will provide education to public and tanning bed salons and respond to public complaints This is an important initiative to reduce the risk of melanoma a skin cancer that is on the rise caused by early and frequent exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds
