REPORT

MEETING TO BE CONSIDERED: November 28, 2024

TO: Mayor Jeff Agar & St. Clair Township Council John Rodey, CAO
Jeff Baranek, Clerk
FROM: George Lozon, CPA Treasurer
RE: 2025 Capital Budget
Recommendation: Be it resolved that the initial 2025 capital budget financial package be received for review and discussion.
We recommend Council review and discuss in detail the capital projects and financing since it affects future years especially since engineering studies and government approval are required.
We met with department heads to review their priorities for the 2025 capital budget. The department heads provided functional capital budget sheets and an overview based on their responsibility which can be found under the project number tabs. A summary of the prioritized projects for the year 2024 is attached on exhibit A1 to A4 along with the projected reserves on exhibit B. The bolded lines in exhibit A2 to A4 represent the suggested approved projects, and column I represents the total which is reflected on the 2024 budget summary page (exhibit A1). The initial budget contains an incremental increase of $718,444 (exhibit A1, Column K, Line 50) over the 2024 approved capital budget.
Please note that the taxation levy after grants is being returned to the approximate level that we had in 2021 and 2022 (Taxation Levy after Grants, exhibit A1, row 48.) The 2023 taxation levy was reduced by using $1,000,000 of the the Moore Industrial Park Reserve.
Our grants are increasing by $409,896 and $19,203 for OCIF (Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund) and CCBF (Canada Community Building Fund formerly AMO Gas

Tax.) We’ve allocated the entire thing to the public works department because most of these grants must be spent on infrastructure projects with a few exceptions. We have used debt to keep the public works department, after taking into account the increased grants, to not be using any additional tax money (i.e., the total tax increase in expenses for public works equals the $429,099 in increased grants.)
Should you have any questions pertaining to any aspect of the 2025 capital budget package please feel free to contact me.

Respectfully Submitted,

George Lozon, CPA Treasurer

2025 Fire Department Capital Budget
The St. Clair Fire Department’s 2025 Capital Budget underscores a strategic commitment to maintaining and enhancing the Approved Level of Service as determined by the Council. This budget is designed to meet ongoing operational demands through the upkeep and replacement of essential assets, ensuring the department’s readiness to address current and future challenges and reinforcing public safety and firefighter effectiveness.
Capital Project 2024-01: Radio Communications Reserve
This project ensures continuous support for the County Radio System by contributing to a reserve fund dedicated to maintenance, equipment upgrades, and replacements for planned or emergency needs.
Capital Project 2024-02: Vehicle Lifecycle Budgeting
Aligned with the Fire Department’s 25-year Asset Management Plan, this project addresses the funding required for replacing firefighting apparatus. A total of $659,642.00 is needed, with $559,642.00 from municipal resources and $100,000 from OMPF funding, to maintain apparatus reliability and service schedules.
Capital Project 2024-03: Building Infrastructure Maintenance
This project focuses on essential repairs and emergency needs at fire stations, including roof and HVAC system maintenance and parking lot repairs, ensuring operational facilities remain functional and safe for staff and public use.
Capital Project 2024-04: Support Vehicle Procurement
Continuing the program of equipping all stations with support vehicles, this project allocates funding from the Fire Vehicle Reserve to add a new support unit (C4) to the fleet.
Capital Project 2024-05: Equipment Management and Replacement
This project funds the maintenance and replacement of essential firefighting and rescue tools, including SCBAs and vehicle extrication equipment. It adheres to asset management timelines, ensuring equipment remains reliable during emergencies.
Capital Project 2024-06: Station 1 Parking Lot Resurfacing
The resurfacing of Station 1’s parking lot will address uneven surfaces and water pooling caused by deterioration. This project ensures the safe and practical use of the space for training and everyday operations.

Capital Project 2024-07: Virtual Reality Training Simulator
Investing in a state-of-the-art VR Training Simulator marks a significant advancement in firefighter training and safety. This tool allows officers and firefighters to engage in realistic, repeatable training scenarios in a controlled environment. Command staff can practice fire ground leadership and decision- making, while firefighters build skills that prepare them for real-life situations without the complexity of live training logistics. Although it will not replace live-fire exercises, VR training will maximize its effectiveness by equipping personnel with comprehensive pre-training, enhancing situational awareness and operational readiness. This innovative addition underscores the department’s dedication to modern training methods and continuous professional development.
Capital Project 2024-08: Fire Tanker Replacement
Funding the replacement of Tankers 54 and 64, approved at the June 3, 2024, Council meeting, ensures the continued reliability of apparatus at the end of their lifecycle. The Fire Vehicle Reserve will provide the necessary funding for these replacements.
Capital Project 2024-09: Station 4 Floor Repair
This project includes repairs to Station 4’s apparatus floor, which has settled and created hazards and poor drainage. Addressing these issues is essential for maintaining a safe and effective working environment.
Capital Project 2024-10: PPE Storage Solutions
To ensure firefighters’ protective gear is stored correctly, this project funds the installation of proper storage solutions that protect against sunlight and provide adequate ventilation, extending the life of the equipment and improving safety practices.
Capital Project 2024-11: Gear Extractors and Dryers
Investing in additional extractors and dryers for cleaning bunker gear is essential to reducing firefighters’ exposure to carcinogens from combustion by-products. The current long drying times discourage timely cleaning, leaving firefighters without serviceable gear. This project supports quicker gear turnaround, aligning with the department’s cancer prevention strategy. A $60,000 OFM grant has been applied to support this cost.
Capital Project 2024-12: Confined Space Rescue Equipment
This project ensures compliance with the E&R By-law for Technician-Level Confined Space Rescue by acquiring specialized SCBA, air-line carts, and other critical equipment, enabling the safe execution of high-risk rescues.
Capital Project 2024-13: Command Unit Enhancements
Enhancing the command unit with a high-definition live-stream camera and a radio repeater will bolster coordination and situational awareness during incidents. The department has applied for a $50,000 EMO grant to support this initiative.

Capital Project 2024-14: IT Infrastructure Upgrades
This project funds auxiliary equipment for scheduled computer replacements in fire stations, supplementing the primary costs covered by the IT budget.
Capital Project 2024-15: Comprehensive Building Assessment
A building assessment of all six fire stations will identify renovation needs, focusing on changing areas and restrooms. This project will address inadequate facilities for both male and female firefighters, ensure compliance with accessibility standards, and establish clean and dirty zones to minimize carcinogen exposure. This initiative supports the department’s cancer prevention strategies and will be funded through existing reserves, potentially staged based on available funding.
Conclusion
The St. Clair Fire Department’s 2025 Capital Budget reflects a proactive and strategic approach to sustaining operational readiness, prioritizing firefighter safety, and incorporating innovative training solutions. By addressing essential needs and forward-thinking projects, the department ensures that it can continue providing exceptional service to the community while adapting to the evolving landscape of emergency response and firefighter well-being.

Capital Budget Overview: Facilities Management in St. Clair Township
Project Title: Aging Facilities Assessment and Management

Overview: St. Clair Township is facing significant challenges related to the management and maintenance of aging municipal facilities. Recent government programs and inspections have highlighted critical issues, including asbestos presence, inadequate asset management practices, accessibility compliance, and rising operational costs. With limited reserves and an already busy department, it has become increasingly clear that the current facilities have exceeded our capacity to manage effectively.

Key Issues Identified:
1. Aging Facilities: Many municipal buildings are in disrepair, posing safety hazards and accessibility challenges for residents.
2. Asbestos Concerns: The presence of asbestos in older structures necessitates urgent assessment and remediation to ensure public safety.
3. Accessibility Compliance: Facilities are not fully compliant with current accessibility standards, limiting access for individuals with disabilities.
4. Rising Operational Costs: Increased utility costs, maintenance expenses, and staffing challenges are straining the municipality’s budget.
5. Limited Reserves: Existing financial reserves are insufficient to cover the comprehensive needs of facility repairs and upgrades.

Proposed Solution:
To address these challenges, the municipality will request the establishment of a new position during capital budget season: Coordinator of Facilities. This role will focus on:

• Comprehensive Facility Assessments: Conducting regular assessments to identify critical repairs, prioritize needs, and manage facility upgrades.
• Asset Management: Implementing effective asset management strategies to extend the lifespan of facilities and optimize operational efficiency.
• Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring all facilities meet safety, health, and accessibility standards, including managing asbestos remediation and accessibility upgrades.
• Operational Efficiency: Streamlining processes and improving resource allocation to reduce operational costs and maximize the use of limited funds.

Budget Implications:
• Personnel Costs: Funding for the Coordinator of Facilities position, including salary and benefits.
• Assessment and Remediation: Initial funding for facility assessments, asbestos removal, and accessibility upgrades.
• Training and Development: Resources for training staff on best practices in facilities management and compliance.

Financial Considerations:
• Initial Investment: The request for the new coordinator position will require initial funding, but the long-term benefits include reduced operational costs and improved facility management.
• Potential Grants: Explore government grants and funding programs aimed at infrastructure improvement, accessibility enhancements, and environmental safety, which can help offset costs.
• Community Engagement: Actively involve community members in discussions about facilities usage and needs to ensure investments align with public priorities.

Conclusion:
The aging facilities of St. Clair Township represent a significant challenge that requires immediate attention and strategic planning. By establishing a Coordinator of Facilities, we aim to create a proactive approach to facility management that addresses safety, compliance, and operational efficiency. This position will be crucial in ensuring our facilities serve the community effectively and sustainably in the years to come. A thorough assessment of funding sources and potential partnerships will be essential to support this initiative.

Roof top access for this building has been an issue for a while now, the opening is not sufficent for staff to access the roof with their proper gear for working at heights. The access is need to service HVAC units that are up there on
the small flat roof that is also in need of replacement. It is our advisment that we should remove the abandoned HVAC units that are on the roof, remove the units we do use and replace the roof in this area and close the access as it will not be needed anymore. This will be more cost effective than opening the roof access and replacing the roof

It was looked at a couple years ago to add sliding doors to the front entrance of the Rapids Health Centre, as the
doors that are there now are not compliant for accessibility purposes. The space between the 2 doors is too narrow
and does not meet regulations. The solution to this is to expand towards the street and close in the over hang that is currently on the building. This will allow enough room for a vestibule and a heat barrier for the small foyer that is
there If this project was chosen to move up it should be requoted, as the current one is out of date.

Project Name Shaw Exhibition Building Roof

Work In Progress (WIP) Yes/No Previous project #

Project Description/Need for Work
The Francis E. Shaw Exhibition Building was an early addition to Moore Museum. The largest building on site, it allows for the storage and display of larger agricultural equipment that require a lot of space. The roof of the building was replaced in 1999, and while it still in good shape, the life of the roof can be prolonged through regular maintenance. The museum was approached by a potential donor, interested in the Shaw Exhibition Building. If funds are recieved from this donor, we plan to use them towar ds the maintenance of the roof. Maintenance plans will depend on the amount of funds received.
Project Priority MM#2 Indicate High/Medium/Low Comments
The Shaw Building houses a large amount of the museums collection, including artifacts too large to be housed in any other area. This building highlights the agricultural history of the former Moore Township, an intergal part of our community story. While the roof is not in urgent need of repair, regular maintenance will prolong the life of the roof and help prevent costly issues and repairs in the future.

2025 Public Works Capital Budget

The revised Core Asset Management Plan served as an input to the 2025 Public Works Capital Budget. It serves as the most current reflection of the state of core infrastructure & improved life cycle information which provides a more informed current state of infrastructure allowing for more informed decision making when allocating funds and maximizing the value of the budget investment.
Some of significant core capital expenditures that the Township is facing in the short term are related to bridges; the reconstruction of St. Clair Parkway bridge over Marshy Creek at just under $4.45 mil was pushed to 2025 due to poor tender pricing & the reconstruction of Ward Line over Marshy Creek at
$3.06 mil will also be targeted for next year. The second St. Clair Parkway bridge over Marshy Creek & St. Clair Parkway Bridge over Sweeny Drain will be pushed to 2026 to avoid two Parkway locations to be shut down in 2025. Both of these bridges will require significant reconstruction capital dollars. In addition there are two seawall projects requiring reconstruction to protect Township assets.
Shoreline erosion is also creating areas of costly rehabilitation. The Sombra Water Street Seawall is estimated at over $3mill and was deferred to 2025 and the Parkway Slope Reconstruction south of Oil Springs Line, North of Seger Park which has closed the associated trail several times – detailed design is complete with estimated cost at approximately $5mil. The Corunna Pump Station Seawall is also deteriorating considerably and is yet to have a detailed cost estimated but has a slightly smaller scope of work relative to Water St.
The Tom Street Sanitary Main Relocation Project now has an estimate of $3.3mil for the recommended alternative. The current location of the main has high risk attached to it so is targeted to be completed over the next couple of years.
Also identified in the Asset Management Plan, road rehabilitation is considerably underfunded annually. This results in rural surface treated roads (tar & chip) to be completed every other year due to budget constraints. Urban resurfacing of asphalt streets also has been completed in the opposite “every other year” pattern. This frequency of resurfacing both urban and rural hard surface roads is not sufficient to keep up with deterioration. Ultimately the level of service of roads is eroding which is in turn driving up roadway maintenance such as road patching creating significant road maintenance budget overages.
Public Works is recommending urban resurfacing in 2025 and each year afterwards to begin to close the roads financial gap. The 2025 recommended urban resurfacing project will be in the order of $250k. It should be noted that this still leaves a $1.75 million annual financial gap to maintain the current roads LOS.
There are a number of additional initiatives underway which will drive added costs going forward.
Public Works is working with Jacobs to complete the wastewater master plan. The preliminary sanitary gathering model identified that the Corunna and Courtright Pump Stations were undersized for current and future loads as well as an undersized section of gathering main and will require upsizing within the

next few years. The remaining master plan may identify additional upgrades required to maintain network flows.
The water master plan was completed and recommends the addition of pressure sensors in key locations for monitoring purposes and to provide important information on how the network is handling peak loads. Capital funding is being requested to begin enhancing the system with pressure sensing.
Improvements to the flushing program were also included in the water master plan that capture plans to achieve scour of the watermain in several system segments. Additional segments will be added over the next few years until the entire system is captured. This will require funding to support the cost of the upgraded flushing program development.
The Active Transportation Master Plan is also close to completion. There will be a number of recommendations resulting from this plan which include additional bike and multi-use paths across the Township. The recommended road diet on Hill St. would be tied to the County’s Hill St. road reconstruction targeted for 2027 or 2028. Many of the other recommended path additions would be tied to the associated road reconstruction which in most cases is a number of years away.
The work related to the relocation of the Nova St. Clair Water Meter initiative is ongoing with a finalized design and the acquisition of Hydro approvals ongoing for the placement of the new meter on their lands adjacent to the LAWSS Main. Construction of the new meter will be finalized in 2025 once Hydro approval is received.
In 2025 the work will begin on the Courtright Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion detailed design as well as the development of the contract to serve as the agreement with the final construction contractor.
In 2025 the Township will complete the update of the Township Asset Management Plan to meet the Ontario Regulations which require the capture of Proposed LOS for 10 years as well as the related Lifecycle Management Plan, Financial Strategy & Risk Assessment.

Project Name Old River Road Drain

Work In Progress (WIP) Yes Previous project # 2024-257

Project Description / Need for Work
R. Dobbin Engineering was appointed in 2013 to prepare a report and recommendations for a new Municipal Drain along the west side of Old River Road providing a proper outlet for storm wator of Old River Road, Crescent Drive and Central Drive. This work was put on hold untilplans for the Baby Point subdivision (on east side of road) were finalized. Since the storm sewer system has been installed for the subdivison, this project can now move forward. Existing outlet pipe currently draining the road ditch crosses private property and therefore can not be improved without a new Municipal Drain. Report submitted in 2022, but referred back to Engineer for a major change of project of scope. Approved in 2021 budget. Carry this project forward (increased budget)
