Notice of Motions & Motions
11.1.
Notice of Motion from Councillors John Martinello & Mary
Tadman regarding purchasing
On September 19, 2014, Councillor Martinello was informed by
Mrs Cindy Lewis - the owner of the local, independent business
known as Rock. Paper, Scissors - that staff had told her that the
Municipality of Brighton would no longer purchase paper & other
products from her store.
Agenda: Municipality of Brighton Council Meeting
Monday, October 20, 2014
Page 2 of 236
Page
The decision to stop purchasing from this locally owned &
independent business was done without the explicit approval of
council & without the benefit of a cost-benefit analysis.
This decision is inconsistent with, & flies in the face of, council's
decisions to spend hundreds of thousands of Brighton taxpayers'
money on the hiring of an Economic Development Officer, the
hiring of a Downtown Revitalization Coordinator & the expansion
of the industrial park.
It is recommended that:
(a) every decision to cut off business to a local business be
explicitly approved, on a case by case basis, by council; and
(b) the staff direction to explicitly cut off purchases from Rock,
Paper, Scissors be immediately & fully rescinded.
11.2.
Notice of Motion from Councillors John Martinello & Mary
Tadman regarding wages & benefits
In the interest of accountability & in order to ensure that all of
council & Brighton taxpayers better understand how their money
is spent, it is recommended that there be a monthly report,
presented in the open session of a council meeting, that includes:
(a) the total salaries, wages & benefits paid to all persons
employed in Public Works;
(b) the total salaries, wages & benefits paid to all persons
employed in Parks & Recreation;
(c) the total salaries, wages & benefits paid to all persons
employed in Finance; and
(d) the total wages, salaries & benefits paid to all other persons
not employed in Public Works, Parks & Recreation and Finance.
11.3.

Business Plan Summary
Building the Product - Purpose of the BCTC:
(1) Reinvent Brighton as a unique and entertaining destination by integrating 'maker
enterprises', tourism, community resources and artisan demonstration in a flexible hub,
purpose-designed to be the centre of creative trades and development in the region.
Page 33 of 236
(2) Generate spin-off retail, manufacturing and related business growth, and attract a
new generation of residents and visitors.
Project Summary:
Provides clarity around the Branding development process and the need for Brighton to
create brand preference if the community is to meet the key objectives:
Increase Tourism
Increase Property Values
Create Employment
What could it look like:
Public-Private Partnership (PPP) allows us to manage needs/ leverage existing assets.
This plan identifies the need for three key anchors that will help sustain the creation of
a new and unique Brighton Creative Trade Centre (BCTC) – a place that connects
incubation, mentorship, and tourism attraction to a new cluster of business leaders.
Library/ Resource Centre + Tourism (Public Partner)
Café/ Eatery (Private)
Education
By securing these anchors, integrating ‘maker enterprises’ to support and attract create
trades entrepreneurs will be feasible and sustainable.
Upon completion of a draft plan, staff attended a meeting of the Brighton Public Library
Services Board to discuss a partnership opportunity. The following resolution was
approved by the Board;
Proposed Components:
Library/ Resource Centre
Craft Incubator Spaces
Educational Space
Meetings/ Demonstration/ Event Space
Office/ Professional Services
Admin/ Tourism
Commercials Kitchen/ Eatery
Public Washrooms
Location/ Service Area:
Based on criteria provided in the branding development strategy, it is our
recommendation that existing commercial assets located in the municipality be
investigated for feasibility for the development of a Brighton Public Library and Creative
Trade Centre. There are number of opportunities that would fit the requirements, meet
Page 34 of 236
multiple objectives, and support the success of a multi-purpose facility that should be
investigated.
Competitive Analysis:
Analysis has been completed on twelve complimentary operations including incubators,
communities, libraries, and cultural venues. Although a number of similarities and
complementary areas have been identified, the BCTC concept is unique in its nature
due to the diversity of services and business model components. Each comparator
referenced in this plan has been identified for key strengths, as well as differences that
make the BCTC concept one of a unique nature.
Conclusions:
Blending of the library and BCTC meets the needs of all partners and creates a
sustainable, multi-use facility with shared services.
Executing this plan will allow Brighton’s new story to come to life.
A staged approach has been developed and is achievable with partnerships
secured.
Short and long term objectives will be met and will create positive economic
impact on our community.
Let’s marriage two plans and make what this community needs happen! We need to
collaborate if our vision is to become a reality.
Financial Implications:
Proposed resources for future implementation have been identified in the Branding
Strategy and Business Plan. Future recommendations will be presented by staff during
the 2015 budget process.

TENZING
OCTOBER 10, 2014
Page 36 of 236
All successful companies, initiatives and organizations employ marketing strategy and techniques to
focus attention on the qualities or unique characteristics most likely to generate preference and, in
turn, revenue. Communities in this millennium are no different. If blessed with natural resources or a
unique legacy, the task is relatively straightforward. The majority, have to work a little harder at it, and
in that context, Brighton is a good example. From a marketing perspective, Brighton lacks the unique attributes required to take the simple,
straightforward path. Brighton has to imagine and then make a new future.
What Brighton has in abundance is a rich resource of people and skills and a network of entrepreneurs
and community leaders who are willing to contribute to the greater good. The community has
demonstrated the willingness to reinvent their economic future by creating a maker industry hub in the
middle of town and focusing marketing efforts on that hub. If successful, the hub - The Brighton
Creative Trades Centre (BCTC) - will become the focal point of business recruitment, tourism attraction
and in the long term, a revitalized tax base.
There is general agreement to date regarding the nature of this new facility. Now the marketing work
must begin.
BCTC project development is likely a two-year endeavour regardless of new build or refurbishing an
existing space and with or without partnering with a newly imagined local library. But positioning and
promoting the community of Brighton won't wait two years. While the BCTC site is being selected,
approved, designed, built and filled, efforts to position, engage and promote the community will begin.
And in some ways, this is fortunate. Building awareness for a community in a specific context (maker
industry and related tourism) will take time, especially in lieu of significant promotional budgets.
So we'll build the marketing foundation of awareness as the actual building goes through the necessary
planning, funding and development phases and we'll be ready when the BCTC opens its doors.

MARKETING
In its simplest terms, marketing is a relevant blend of product and position, place, price, people and
promotion. In that context, Brighton has already moved well along the path to making good decisions.
Product: What are we promoting and selling?
•
We will create the Brighton Creative Trades Centre and market it as the primary community
attraction.
•
We will position Brighton as a progressive, innovative community and home to a growing 'maker'
economy.
Place: Where will people find our product?
•
There are several locations and BCTC concepts under consideration. This process is well under way.
•
The entire community (in town and rural) will become our distribution centre (networking and
participation).
Price: What will people pay for our product?
•
BCTC rent, revenue generation, funding and other forms of pricing will be factored into the
business model as it is developed.
•
Benchmarks for current economic activity should be set and metrics for tracking change should be
established.
People: Who will sell and who will buy?
•
The residents and business owners of Brighton will be the first wave of BCTC tenants and our
network of engaged advocates (everyone becomes a sales associate).
•
Target audiences are identified in the Promotion Plan.
Promotion: How will our target audiences learn about what Brighton offers?
•
The balance of this marketing plan is focused on a strategy, core tactics, budgets and a timeline for
promotion over a two-year period (development to launch).

Demographics:
1. Boomers, early retirees (local, regional, provincial)
2. Twenty & Thirty somethings, artisan/maker profiles (local, regional, provincial)
Psychographics:
While PSYTE Clusters may prove useful down the road for media plan development, for the purposes of
this plan, the social make-up of our target audience is as follows:
There are population segments both locally and further afield comprised of people who are skilled in
maker or artisan trades and creative activities - and who are open to pursuing alternative career and
lifestyle paths. They are early retirees who have long harboured a dream to do something different and
they are younger demographics that are opting for a simpler, self-managed lifestyle. Both groups fit our
target profile for the BCTC.
Campaign Theme:
Make It (In) Brighton!
Promotion (Communications) Strategy:
There are two strategic streams that will run concurrently over the next two years: Positioning and
promoting the community as an emerging maker industry centre; planning and building the BCTC.
These two streams will merge as the BCTC becomes the self-funding focal point of promotion in
mid-2016.
1. Promote the Vision of Making It in Brighton to local business leadership, residents and media.
Build regional awareness of emerging maker industry innovation and focus in Brighton.
2. Support community ownership and partnership in the planning, building and launch of the BCTC include local participation and mentoring in the first wave of tenants.

stewards of the project. Engage the entire community including rural and agri-business neighbours in
ownership.

PROJECT SUMMARY
Brighton Branding Process
The Municipality of Brighton has identified and packaged a new brand. The purpose of the brand in this
case is to aid in economic development with a goal to increase local business, property values and
tourism.
The brand development process was completed by Tenzing Communications who presented findings
that represent a blunt but respectful assessment of Brighton as it stands today, the capacity to meet the
defined objectives, and the steps needed to address issues that will hold the community back. Although
it feels like bad news, it is not bad news. The way forward is not as easy as putting up some nice new
signs and revealing a new slogan for the future. A bright future for Brighton requires a little more work.
Brighton does not enjoy a clear and sustainable industry cluster at this time. It is a gateway to other
destinations like the provincial park and Prince Edward County but not necessarily a stopping point.
While it has enjoyed a net population gain recently, little of that gain creates jobs or attracts tourism.
The creative class has no reason to come here at this time. And the Boomers are not flocking to Eastern
Ontario any time soon. There is little reason for youth to stay and no truly unique reason for visitors to
exit their cars. We have events that attract brief periods of incremental business, but sustainable, yearround growth is difficult to find.
Brighton does not enjoy brand preference today. And no advertising campaign will change that.
There are however, three elements of very good news that could set Brighton apart.
(1) The honesty and commitment of stakeholders in the community indicates Brighton has the
people assets required to make positive change happen.
(2) Brighton is in an excellent position to leverage the tourism investments of neighbouring
communities while taking advantage of provincial park tourism.
(3) There is a general consensus on what could be done to refresh the local economy with new
ideas for the future.
There is willingness and appetite for change in Brighton (without negative impact on the community
attributes). That is a huge and positive first step. The leadership in Brighton is willing to get beyond the
usual small community brand elements; we're exploring genuine differentiation. There is enough
research, and enough community input from previous initiatives, to give Brighton all the perspective it
needs. Now it's time to act.
Now the hard work begins. 500,000 people visit Presqu'ile Park every year. What do we have to build to
get them to stop?

MARKET ANALYSIS
A Brief Statistical Overview of the Municipality of Brighton (Community Development Plan, 2012)
Brighton’s population is increasing. The population increased from 9449 in 2001 to 11,290 in
2011.Brighton’s population is getting older. In 2011, Brighton’s largest age segments were between the
ages of 45-49 and 55-69. The population in the latter was significantly higher than the provincial
average. All other age segments below the age of 45 in Brighton decreased between 2001 and 2011,
with the exception of the 20-24 age group.
Brighton is a primarily English speaking community. The vast majority of the population speaks English
only (93.2%). This is higher than the provincial average of 86.1%.
Housing prices in Brighton have more than doubled since 2001. In 2001, the average dwelling value in
Brighton was $134,604. In 2011, this had increased to 284,241; however, this is still significantly less
than the provincial average ($397,452).
Incomes – Although still slightly lower than the Ontario average, income levels in Brighton have been
slowly increasing and have been increasing at a higher rate compared to the provincial average.
Educational attainment in Brighton - Brighton has a higher percentage of its population that has
attained a college, CEGEP or other non-university certificate or diploma when compared to the
provincial average (25.7% vs. 22.1%); however, Brighton has a lower percentage of its population with a
university certificate or degree than does the province (13.7% vs. 26.5%) and a higher percentage of its
population (28.6% vs. 24.9%) with only a high school certificate.
Brighton’s unemployment rate has increased, yet remains lower than the provincial average. In 2001,
Brighton’s unemployment rate was higher than the provincial average (6.4% vs. 6.1%). Although
5
Page 48 of 236
Brighton’s unemployment rate has increased since 2001, it was lower than the provincial average in
2011 (8.0% vs. 8.4%).
Top industries by labour force - The top four industries in Brighton in terms of percentage of labour force
are:
• Manufacturing
• Retail trade
• Construction
• Public administration
Just under half of the jobs in Brighton are filled by workers who live elsewhere. 44.9% of workers
declaring a usual place of work in Brighton live outside of Brighton. On the other hand,
66.1% of the workers living in Brighton had a usual place of work outside of Brighton.
Creating an Experience that results in Preference!
Imagine…
Imagine a community that is thriving; that has a pulse. A community with a real presence that is
supported by the people and is recognized by other surrounding communities as a “place to go”.
Imagine a place that houses creative energy with vibrant artisans developing their craft. Imagine a place
that caters to all of your senses. That awakens your senses. A community that supports local made,
hand-made artisan products with a retail space to generate revenue for the artisans and for the entire
town. Imagine a place where gourmet culinary is available, utilizes locally grown produce and connects
with the agriculture of the area. Imagine a place where you can learn the fine art of cooking to entertain
your guests. Imagine an integration of farmers, producers and clients. Imagine a stronger community
because of it.
Imagine it here.
Imagine a place where locals can meet. Imagine an event space where festivals can thrive for locals and
for visitors. Imagine a place that suddenly has something – a product - to offer its residents, visitors and
surrounding towns to the east and to west. Imagine a town that attracts tourism because of the positive
energy it receives when visiting because of the PULSE of the town.
Imagine a town that is sustained and continues to develop because of the energy that is invested to
keep it alive. Imagine a downtown core lined with retailers because the BCTC continues to develop
artisans year after year, which in turn creates a bustling energized business area with an attractive and
appealing business mix. Imagine a place that people love to visit so much they decide to move here.
Imagine property values going up. Imagine future housing developments. Imagine a town that
maintains its small town love through a more connected community and a stronger, more strategic
economic plan. Brighton can be the little engine that could….

Nestled on the shores of Lake Ontario and the primary gateway to the naturalist’s haven of Presqu’ile
Provincial Park, Brighton is a growing hub of unique craft and trade entrepreneurs, adult education,
tourism and lifestyles.
“Make your own future” or “I made it here” = with my hands, as my craft, and as an entrepreneur!
This brand creation for Brighton was developed by Tenzing Communications, a full-service agency which
uses advertising, branding and web solutions to help you position in a clear space, on higher ground.
Based on all research reviews, cluster reviews, leadership and partner orienteering sessions and
marketing expertise, the following conclusions were made:
•
•
•
There is no existing, consistent, differentiate brand experience that will address the identified
objectives; Tourism growth, employment growth, and property value growth.
Brighton does not currently lead or stand apart in any aspect of tourism – it spears unable to
truly leverage regional tourism success.
Advertising, slogan and other communications based on what exists today will not change the
status quo.
BUT;
•
There is business, partner and community support for generating economic growth in the create
trades sector (that in turn can create demand for other services and industry).
THEREFORE;
We need to build and create a product!
BUSINESS STRUCTURE
Goal - To establish a growing hub of unique craft and trade entrepreneurs by creating a centre for trade
that promotes economic growth.
Objectives
1) Tourism - Engage visitors by creating a space designed to educate and entertain (edutainment). The
Trade Centre will offer opportunities to learn through hands on workshops, artisan demonstrations, tell
the stories that inspire creativity, and make available locally made products to consumers. Building a
vibrant community hub that provides innovative library services, tourism information and a regular
farmers market, in addition to a unique space that fosters entrepreneurship, will lure visitors among
other audiences. Providing a link from the town to Presqu’ile Provincial Park is a significant factor that
will retain tourism already being generated. If 10% of visitors from the park are attracted to this facility,
this would generate 25,000 in traffic.
7
Page 50 of 236
2) Employment/ Retention - Provide space for creative entrepreneurs to launch and test their ideas. A
space where they have access to professional services, mentoring, networking and clustering
opportunities. Space is available for rent and needs are assessed on an individual basis. All
entrepreneurs are required to participate in the “success program” that is offered. Nurturing growth of
these types of jobs has the potential to create economic stability for the future. Unlike large
manufacturing facilities that can cause huge upheaval in a local economy when a corporate decision is
made to relocate or close, these jobs depend on each individual business owner to continue to create.
Having the proper supports can instill confidence and help to avoid pitfalls.
3) Property Values - Improve the overall value of property in Brighton. The Centre will incorporate a
number of assets traditionally thought to add value to property in a community, including a new high
tech library that can meet the needs of future residents and a growing business community. The
addition of a farmers market will bring back a tradition that has been absent in Brighton for a few years
now. Gathering the supports for creative entrepreneurs under one roof will attract these types of
people to become residents in our community. Creating a tangible product in our community that
generates new business, attracts dollars, and supports the creation of new assets will support a
sustainable, growing economy and generate an increase in property values overtime.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
“Be the Adventurer of your own dreams. Aim high. Aim higher. Be your best. Inspire others. It’s
contagious. BE FEARLESS. Discover your purpose and then make it happen. Go beyond your wildest
dreams. Do stuff that matters. Do it right! Stop at nothing to create, evolve, be smarter, nourish and
heal. Have an OPEN mind. Listen. Really listen. Defeat the Naysayers. Dare yourself daily. Defy the
ordinary.” Genuine Health (Abbreviated version from a magazine ad)
Multi-faceted in its offerings, the BCTC is a community grounded facility that includes artisans, local
made products, retail, and culinary (farm to table). These local grown trends incorporate the agricultural
sector, as well as the service industry; café, pub, restaurant.
Let’s also not forget the educational aspects of the potential inclusion of the new build Library; a
bustling community resource centre that would provide enhanced services to the community. Together,
a partnership between the library and BCTC would build a space for creation and learning!
Tourism cannot be overlooked as another facet of this facility as it is inevitable that something of this
magnitude would attract clients from near and far. This centre could be a new asset included in regional
tourism promotions, tour routes and on the list of stops to make while in area! There are many
attractions in our area. With Brighton being the gateway to Presqu’ile Park and Prince Edward County,
we need to create a reason for people stop instead of being a place people drive through to get where
they are going. This project would continue to support the busier summer season, while unique events
reflective of such a collective could be promoted throughout the year in order to sustain the slower
months.

Industry Trends
Artisan Economy http://www.smallbizlabs.com/artisan-economy/
In an article published by Small Business Labs, a research company focused on tracking and forecasting
the trends impacting the future of small business, a recent review was published in spring of 2014 on
“The Infrastructure behind the Rise of Crafters, Makers and Hobbypreneaurs.”
There are a number of conclusions around the Maker Moverment. "Makers increasingly create new
products and build small businesses based on innovative use of technology, processes, and business
models. They represent a growing force of hobbypreneurs contributing to global economy." (Makers
Movement report, Small Business Labs, 2009). During the time of this report the above statement was
noted as controversial. Makers were considered hobbyists, amateur crafters and tinkerers rather than a
source of new businesses. Much has changed over the last 5 years.
"A proliferation of high-tech but affordable manufacturing tools and new sources of funding are
empowering a generation of handy entrepreneurs and laying the foundation for a hardware
renaissance." (Reuters article: Do-it-yourselfers inspire hardware renaissance in Silicon Valley ).
The rise of Makers, crafters and others turning hobbies, passions and interests into small businesses is
being enabled by a growing support infrastructure that allow these businesses to start-up and foster.
Now defined as an industry versus a hobby, financing is available for the creative trade industry. Private
companies are offering various forms of loans and advances to small and micro businesses.
Crowdfunding and more recently equity crowdfunding are also being increasingly used by these types of
businesses.
For most hobbypreneurs it's still about their passions. The chart below (Etsy: Redefining
Entrepreneurship report) demonstrates the primary motivation for the artisan economy.
10

Mentoring Centres http://smallbiztrends.com/2012/04/choose-startup-business-incubator.html
A Mentoring Centre is designed to provide support to new businesses to help them succeed. Every
mentorship program is different, but incubators and accelerators typically include access to mentors or
experts from different areas of business who provide guidance on the start-up. Some incubators are
place focused, while other are more of a process.
While business incubators date back as far as the 1950s, the explosion in growth began with the dot
com bubble of 1999. Today, there are more than 1,500 business incubators in North America, and
around 7,000 globally.
Each mentoring centre has a different aim. The majority in North America are non-profits focused on
economic development. Some are supported by local communities and others by corporations. While
the media tends to focus on the technology-centric incubators (approximately 39% of North American
incubators are tech-focused), there are plenty of others if you are in services, manufacturing, food
production, green tech or other niche markets.
Incubators are like business school on steroids, but instead of spending two years writing fake case
studies and research papers, you’re learning hands-on with your own business. You learn from the
teachers. You learn from other students who may be in different stages of business than you are. You
learn how to tweak your business idea, make it a profitable or successful one, and sometimes sell your
idea to investors.
At the end of the mentorship program, you and your start-up graduate. This may mean getting enough
investment in your business to grow to the next level. Or it may mean that the business is ready to
stand on its own two feet without assistance. Either way, your start-up leaves the nest!
Library – New Generation
New generation libraries are an active part of daily life where people connect with one another and
work collaboratively and individually. Libraries are a resource centre, supporting lifelong learning,
professional development and personal growth. A vibrant part of the community’s rich cultural and
educational resources, library services today reflect developments in technology and provide innovative
spaces for learning.
Experiential Tourism
http://dcba-info.com/product-development/have-you-heard-the-buzz-about-experiential-tourism/
With experiential tourism becoming the new norm, people influencing the tourism industry are setting
out standards to meet the needs of consumers and develop a set of rules that ensure visitors are living
their experience. There are several tips to ensure the ultimate visitor experience can be created:
•
•
•
•
Well themed – Experience matches a distinguishing theme or brand.
Emotional trigger – The experience causes an emotional reaction.
Authentic – Real versus contrived.
Accessible – Ease of access to product information, purchase, location, and mobility at the site.

Enriching – The experience leaves the customer changed.
Educational – Experience provides a unique learning opportunity.
Entertaining – The experiences evoke sharing, joy, laughter and fun.
Essence of Place- Embodies scenery and culture.
Hands On – Customers participate versus a spectator.
Sense of Place- Significance of location is relayed to the visitor.
Value added – Experiences deliver over and above the promise; has an element of surprise.
Exceeds Expectations – The experiences should have a “Wow!” factor.
By applying these practices, the product or experience you are selling is more impactful on the visitor.
Agri-Tourism
http://www.eckertagrimarketing.com/eckert-agritourism-what-is-agritourism.php
Agritourism has been identified as one of the fastest growing segments in the travel industry. Looking at
the type of market agriculture is attracting, it is evident that urban residents are drawn to this sector.
Farm and culinary tours, as well as any agriculture based experiences seem to have a special appeal to
the urban marketplace. Urban residents feel disconnected to where their food comes from and want to
re-connect when visiting a rural destination. Agriculture is not as easily accessed and is something that
has to be sought out by the urban marketplace. This helps to explain why Agritourism has continued to
see growth when we look at tourism in the province as a whole, and how it has developed a niche
market.
Culinary Tourism
https://ontarioculinary.com/tasty-tidbits-consumer-trends/
Culinary tourism as one of the fastest growing segments in the travel industry today. According to the
Travel Industry Association of America, 60% of American leisure travelers indicate that they are
interested in taking a trip to engage in culinary activities each year. Travel enthusiasts are willing to pay
for authentic cultural exchanges. To better understand this trend and how to leverage it, it is important
to look at broader cultural and consumer trends that are shaping growth in the culinary industry.
Five key consumer trends affecting Culinary Tourism:
•
•
•
•
•
Food is more than a functional necessity. Consumers are spending more of their income on
prepared food, gourmet products, eating out and food items with some form of health or ethical
benefits.
Demographics and Household Change. An aging population and changing life styles have driven
demand for increased eating out occasions and food tourism opportunities.
Rejection of Mass Production Model. Tourists have increasingly rejected the industrial model of
the low cost mass production of food, instead searching out local, fresh and good quality food.
Growth of the Multi-Cultured Consumer. Multiculturalism has become an everyday concept in
the daily life of the consumer. Growth in international tourism has created a greater acceptance
and desire to experience new flavours.
Celebrity Chef and Media. The emergence of the niche food programmes and publications has
resulted in the creation of the food celebrity and expert and drives our interest in good quality
12
Page 55 of 236
food. Today’s consumer is better educated, wealthy, has travelled more extensively, lives
longer, and is concerned about health and the environment. As a result food and drink has
become more important and has a higher priority.
OPERATING PLAN
Governance
Source: Wikipedia
It is recommended that the proposed facility and services provided within it be operated through a
public–private partnership, also known as a shared service delivery. This model represents
municipalities joining together, with private firms and/or with non-profits to provide services. The
Municipality will act as the public partner in this partnership, with private partnerships being generated
through a developed BCTC Cooperative Enterprise, as well as potential private investors. All partners
investing in the BCTC will jointly govern the facility and services within.
Shared service delivery would involve a contract between the Municipality, BCTC Cooperative, and any
private investor, in which the private party provides a public service or project and assumes a level of
financial, technical and operational risk in the project.
The financial plan for the BCTC/ Library partnership project will source funding through a number of
public and private sources, including but not limited to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Municipal taxes
User fees
Community shares
Crowd Sourcing
Government grants
Private investments
Anchor Tenants
Established lease holders
Government contributions to this partnership may also be in kind (transfer of existing assets), as the
relocation and expansion of the library (an existing asset) would be in relation to this project specifically.
In projects that are aimed at improving infrastructure, the government may provide a capital subsidy in
the form of a one-time grant, so as to make it more attractive to the private investors. In some other
cases, the government may support the project by providing revenue subsidies, including tax breaks or
by removing guaranteed annual revenues for a fixed time period.
There are usually two fundamental drivers for shared service delivery:
1) It enables the public sector to harness the expertise and efficiencies that the private sector can
bring to the delivery of certain facilities and services traditionally procured and delivered by the
public sector.
13
Page 56 of 236
2) It is structured so that the public sector body seeking to make a capital investment does not
incur any borrowing. Rather, the PPP borrowing is typically incurred by the private sector vehicle
implementing the project.
In relation to the BCTC and Library projects, shared service delivery is the most suitable model. A new
library space is a significant need and would enable the library to provide a community hub for the
people of Brighton. There are number of duplicate elements and services that both parties have
identified as a need, reinforcing the recommendation of a shared facility (resource space, lounge,
kitchen, education, meeting, and administration). Private sector expertise needs to be harnessed when
delivering business services and programming related to the creative trade industry.
When reviewing finance related opportunities, both public and private sector organizations have the
ability to apply for government grants and secure funds that can be allocated toward this project. When
it comes to ownership of the building, there are a number of avenues that should be investigated. Each
option presented can be applied to either an existing building or a new build depending on the location
being secured.
Option 1: PPP Ownership
Borrowing would be incurred through third party organization representing both private and public
partners with contribution being made to the organization by both parties. This model in many ways
emulates the development and management of the Brighton Health Services Centre.
Option 2: Public Ownership
Building would be owned and operated by the Municipality. An agreement would be in place for private
partners to obtain space and share spaces as required by both operations.
Option 3: Private Ownership
The building would be owned and operated privately. An agreement would be in place between the
private owner, municipality and additional tenants to lease space in order to provide services.
Management Structure
If operated by a PPP, the proposed facility will be managed as a shared service delivery. The Municipality
would be the public governing partner overseeing the library services space. The private partnership will
be represented by a cooperative; a form of joint entrepreneurship representing more than one party
involved in creating a new venture. The PPP will be comprised of key partners and stakeholders with
balanced marketing, technical, operational and financial skills and experience. This includes industry
representatives and stakeholders who have invested in the business (representatives from both the
public and private sectors).
14
Page 57 of 236
The CEO of the Library and staff with direction from the Library Board will be responsible for Library
services. A manager will be in place for the BCTC and be responsible for the operations and services of
this facility. An agreement will be in place for shared services, including reception/ tourism information,
meeting facilities, event space, lounge and washroom facilities.
The BCTC cooperative enterprise would act as the governing body for programming and services related
to the Brighton Creative Trade Centre including:
-
-
Tendering of contracts on behalf of members and distribution of work. The work is then
invoiced to the cooperative which administers the contract and retains a small percentage
earned to offset other facility costs.
Collective Buying (leverage better costs)
Selling (negotiate for groups of retailers)
Marketing (more reach for the investment)
Shared Facility Costs & Management
Shared Professional Services/ Expertise (graphics, website, legal, financial & business)
Manage Funds for Members (invest, retain)
Sector Development (Craft Trade/Tourism)
Strategic Planning (Management Advisory Committee)
Having the operations conducted through the BCTC governing body will provide benefits to the
stakeholders and businesses investing in the program. This model will provide efficiencies, cost
advantages through economies of scale, better ability to market the product, greater flexibility, less risk
for tenants, and most importantly establish common goals and objectives as the product evolves.
Products and Services
Creating a new and unique Brighton Creative Trade Centre (BCTC) will act as a tool that connects
incubation, mentorship and tourism attraction to a new cluster of business leaders. With a focus on the
artisan economy (trades, craft, cottage industry, entrepreneurs, arts and support industries), the BCTC
will act as both the core product of the community and an attraction to visitors with a blend of
incubator, educator and retail/ wholesaler.
The primary function of the BCTC is to provide affordable space in an environment designed to
accelerate the growth of the creative trade economy. The space will identify and engage local creative
trade business owners as mentors and leaders and recruit partners in education and government
training to establish adult education and exploration opportunities.
Studies show that businesses that have completed a mentorship program have a greater chance of
success. The cooperative atmosphere of a mentoring centre will help build the foundation for emerging
entrepreneurs as they dream of making things and prepare a career in the craft and trade economy.
The BCTC will act as a centre of learning and incubation by teaching artisan manufacturing and business
skills. This includes everything from food, art and photography to furniture, clothing and consumables.

Creating this space will ultimately create a tourist attraction for Brighton; a space that attracts really
cool people and generates profits that will create spin-off for the community.

Location/ Service Area
There are four locations that will impact outcomes and therefore require attention when building the
BCTC:
•
•
•
•
Centrally located.
Ability to better connect the town centre to the Park and make the ‘gateway’ aspect of the
positioning statement a more evident reality.
Identify and nurture the quaint, craft and trade elements of Brighton’s retail core.
Ability to better connect the agricultural elements of the community to the downtown and
gateway elements; create the feeling of one community from top to bottom.
Based on this criteria, it is recommended that existing commercial assets located in the municipality be
investigated for feasibility for the development of a Brighton Public Library and Creative Trade Centre.
There are a number of commercial properties/ opportunities that would lend themselves to the success
of this project and should be investigated prior to the municipality moving forward with a new build
stand-alone public library.

COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS
Quidi Vidi Village Plantation, St. John’s Newfoundland
The Quidi Vidi Village Plantation is a craft incubation facility, designed to accelerate the growth of
emerging artists and their businesses.
Each of the craftspeople who lease studios in the Plantation have passed through a rigorous selection
process, and must participate in an extensive training regime.

Halifax Central Library – Halifax, Nova Scotia
The future Library will blend the best of traditional library services with new and innovative spaces,
making it a "vital centre for learning and culture in the heart of the community".
The proposed Central Library will replace the aging Public Library, which is rapidly deteriorating and no
longer able to deliver service efficiently and effectively. As a civic landmark, the proposed Central Library
will be a source of pride and inspiration for all residents and a welcome addition to the streetscape.
The Halifax Central Library will be regional resource, an active information place and a reflection of the
communities within the region. It will enhance the library’s ability to design and redesign services, and
to reach out to and attract more people. Services will be flexible and based on the needs of the
community combined with the best that technology has to offer.

local creative scene - and these are the ideas that inspired a community-minded hotbed for culture.
ByWard Market – Ottawa, Ontario
The ByWard Market is where Ottawa was born. Established in 1826, the ByWard Market is one of
Canada’s oldest and largest public markets. The legendary builder of the Rideau Canal laid out the
street plan of the Market, designating George and York Streets to be extra wide to accommodate the
horse-drawn carriages that brought foodstuffs to the market every day.
Today, the ByWard Market is Ottawa’s number one tourist attraction, and is the premier destination for
shopping, dining, arts, entertainment and professional services for residents and visitors. It is home to
both a local farmers' market and artisans with over 260 stands, as well as over 500 businesses.

you’ve ever seen. Add a vibrant and diverse mix of people and activities, and you have a destination so
dynamic, no visit to the city is complete without spending at least a day here. Just think of Granville
Island as Vancouver’s Town Square. Where locals and visitors come together to be inspired, to be
entertained or simply to breathe in some of its unique atmosphere.
Almonte, Ontario
Almonte is the hub of a thriving and diverse community of artists and artisans working in town and in
the surrounding countryside and villages — painters and sculptors, glassblowers and potters, and more.

opportunities as well as tremendous cultural and social opportunities often only found in much larger
cities. Traverse City is truly a micropolis – offering residents and visitors the small Midwestern town
charm along with cosmopolitan options.
Competitive Advantages
There have been a number of comparative business models reviewed when developing the BCTC
concept, and although there are a number of similarities and complementary areas, the BCTC concept is
unique in its nature due to the diversity of services and business model components. Each comparator
referenced in this plan has been identified for key strengths, as well as differences that make the BCTC
concept one of a unique nature.

MARKETING PLAN
Target Market
Given that this is a startup project and multi-faceted, there will be several areas to introduce and market
this project to.
One target audience will be the new and mid-career artisans wanting to develop their craft into a
business. Targeting this audience is essential in order to create the incubator – we need to seek those
with talent and expertise who dream of growing their craft into a profitable business. This market will be
eager to work with others in the creative trade industry in a space where they have the ability to
combine different skills and competencies.
We need to sell the concept. We need to create the need and desire for them to be a part of something
exciting!
Studio spaces will be designed to lure this market at an affordable rate within the BCTC with services
that help them build their craft: mentorship, peer support, shared resources, business planning,
marketing, rapid speed to growth. By fostering this talent within an incubation facility, this cluster will
develop and attract a larger audience/client base more quickly and easily than an independent operator.
Brighton has the ability to utilize resources established in the community. With a wealthy supply of
retired professionals who have invested their future in Brighton, there is significant opportunity to
partner experienced professionals with new entrepreneurs and establish mentorship programs.
Strengthening the community through these connections is key to the successful development of strong
businesses, community engagement, and attraction of private investment and support for this project.
Profiles
During the process of developing a branding strategy for the Municipality of Brighton, five different
audiences were profiled; middle-age boomers and young single granolas were favoured.
This did not come as a surprise as these two demographic clusters are desired by all communities. The
difference will have to be in the offer. Brighton has to offer a future state; that does not currently exist –
if it did they would already be here!
Both groups are looking for a simpler, cost-efficient lifestyle that affords an opportunity to earn a handson living at a more relaxed pace. They are primarily attracted from major markets (GTA and Ottawa);
And are craving to explore and settle in culturally diverse communities!

Access to markets
Based on these profiles, our marketing will be geared to attract those who are tired of the relentless
pursuit and pace of the big city they are in. Those who have gone to school, have the skill, and have the
passion, but are stuck in a place of having to pay student loans, debt and are working for others quite
often not in their chosen field.
We need to pitch the idea to the young, passionate artisans that want to create a life, those wanting to
take their ideas and turn them into dreams. Those who no longer want to work for others and who want
to make more than just a living, those wanting to MAKE a life. CREATE their life.
By promoting a space to this marketplace that provides affordable space to create, mentoring, a
community of like-minded people, and the business support that all entrepreneurs require, Brighton
should be confident that creating this product will entice a young entrepreneur to be less hesitant.
We need to show them a way. Build it and they will come.
Boomer Entrepreneurs are only different in the sense that they have experience – these are our
mentors and the people who will want to see a space like the BCTC flourish. They are already hear and
we have the ability to attract more – those who are looking for the right place to retire and start the
next chapter of their lives. We must present the new Brighton story and concept so that they will choose
us.

Promotional Strategy
Blending of the Library and Creative Centre projects
Identify and engage local creative trade business owners as mentors and leaders.
Recruit partners in education/ training to establish adult education and exploration classes (programs
and seminars).
Engage the community in ownership (literally)! Engage social networks of community leadership,
business leadership and partners.
Generate earned media by promoting the Brighton transformation strategy and journey; become the
poster child for smart economic development.
Reflect the legacy of the town, but with a forward-looking enterprise feel to it – a space to learn, to feel,
to teach and to make things by hand.
Focus on creating local enterprise, local employment and growth in the local economy.
Brighton’s New Story
There is no shortage of cities, towns and neighbourhoods that are chock full of buildings that are chock
full of cubicles that are home to countless people who are driven by the relentless pursuit and pace of
this fast little world we’ve created.
Many of them dream. Some of those who dream have ideas. And some of those who have ideas are
ready to bring those ideas to life.
They may be a little older – looking to cash in on their success; they may be just starting out, taking a
risk before life gets complicated.
They are creative – they are talented. To make a change, all they need is inspiration.
So what if we created a space surrounded by a community that supports a unique purpose and pace?
What if we filled that space with tools, resources and mentors, all designed to inspire a special brand of
entrepreneur – those people involved in the creative trades: from wrought iron to fashion weaving to
artisan foods and wood turning.
What if we turned their skills and passion into a retail space and a tourism space? What if we helped
them sell their products, generate revenue – what if we generated revenue for everyone in town? And
what if every small step we took together contributed a new chapter in the Brighton story – one that
attracted interest both east and west?
26
Page 69 of 236
We’re creating a new destination called Brighton. We’re giving visitors a reason to notice us, make
inquiries, maybe even stop. We’re giving dreamers and innovators a very good reason to bring their
ideas to life here – to grow here – to employ people here. And inspire others in the process.
Like the risk-takers who originally settled in this community, we have the opportunity to try something
new. Brighton is where you can make your own future.
Everything works in stages:
1) Start promoting the new BCTC as a community vision and destination. As it becomes real, allow
core stakeholders and prospective audiences to own the process and share in its success.
2) Develop brand image and voice to support media relations.
3) Develop pre and post phases:
a. Pre-launch: General community engagement tools – start locally/ share with visitors
b. Post-launch: Widespread promotion and advertising – expand regionally / GTA focus in
2015 and beyond.
4) Turn the vision into a selling tool; create an energy and momentum around change.
a. Small group presentations – create ambassadors in local community
b. Vision brochure – allow artists to demonstrate the ideas through visuals.

IMPACT ANALYSIS
Investors see opportunity and work to invest their dollars in worthy causes. Risk takers create
enterprise; enterprise leads to win/win scenarios.
IMAGINE a facility that….
•
•
•
•

Reimagines what a new generation rural library could look like!
27
Page 70 of 236
While exploring ways to leverage existing and proposed investments, the opportunity to generate
revenue and create a sustainable product is apparent if we ……Re-Imagine what a small town library (the
Brighton Library) can become.
This is the opportunity to develop a new “BrightON”
Create a NEW CHAPTER. Tell a NEW STORY. Be the CREATOR.
Imagine a cooperative alliance (public/ private partnership) that includes a beautiful new library that
makes sense for a rural community that is small but for a world that is growing.
The complimentary services between a new generation library and BCTC cannot be denied:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Café (Food/ Beverage) – Refuel for patrons
Internet- wifi throughout building
Lounge
Green space
Dream while looking out windows
Be transported by the surroundings as well as the words in the book
Refuel for patrons
Literacy Workshops/ Book Club events
Public libraries have evolved into vibrant community hubs in this digital era. Libraries are about
knowledge which has never been in greater supply. When walking into a local library today patrons can
find a bustling, interactive community space. It’s an exciting time for libraries!
The Brantford Public Library includes a green screen, makers’ spaces, and a focus to build digital literacy
in communities. Digital tools that are being integrated into libraries allow for persuasive and
collaborative learning.
The historic connection with communities has given libraries the influence to innovate through public
support. Due to cuts in government funding, libraries must find creative way to raise funds, typically
through donations and partnerships.
The new state-of-the-art Halifax central Library is slated to open in 2014. Receiving funding by all three
levels of government, this five-floor building will be home to two music studios, two coffee shops, two
gaming centres, patios overlooking the ocean and a 300-seat auditorium.
“Nobody says, ‘Wow, this is not a good use of our money,’ because we did this community consultation
and the community told us, ‘This is what we want!’” (Bruce Gorman, Director of central library and
regional services for Halifax Public Libraries).
Despite the changes and adaption to retain their status as thriving community hubs– there will always
be a place for books at the library!

Reasons to move forward:
-
No facility exists similar to what is being proposed;
Each of the proposed services exist in some way at a distance to the community;
Community is already planning a new public library (maximize investment);
Local farmers market has struggled in the past and is currently not operating;
Youth employment statistics are not promising following 2008-9 recession;
Existing successful creative trades describe a need (siting a slow start and growth);
Recent examples of young entrepreneurs who succeeded with mentor and support;
Millennial and retiring boomers are two large segments of the population attracted to this type
of employment opportunity for different reasons a host of studies exist).
Why it will work:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Artists need an audience and a creative community of like-minded people to fuel ideas and stay
inspired
Artists generally need business assistance and support; business development needs the ideas
of artists
Urban planning requires visionaries (Non linear meets linear)
Cooperatives rely on shared skills and resources
Creativity breeds creativity
Energy creates energy and Artists ARE energy
Create something that didn’t exist prior to their practice
Incubators create brainstorming allow risk takers to think outside the box
Being creative means making your own rules. Starting from scratch. It’s time to marriage two plans and
make what this community needs happen.
29
Page 72 of 236
Sometimes you have to break the rules. You have to break the mold. You have to start fresh.
Same path, same results. Take the road less traveled and awaken your senses to new possibilities. The
possibilities really are endless if you simply begin. Let’s take that first step together, with the Library
Board and BCTC cooperative working together towards the same vision.
Let’s create BrightON - a NEW DESTINATION. Give visitors a reason to notice us, make inquiries. Let’s
give dreamers and innovators a reason to bring their ideas HERE. Let’s employ people HERE.
Let’s put BrightON on the map for a new generation. Let’s create a space that appeals to them. Brighton
is where you can MAKE YOUR OWN FUTURE. This is Brighton’s NEW and improved story.
Community residents, municipal leaders and business groups will benefit from having long term plans
and visions for the development of the town.
Let’s make community economic goals and not just reach them. Let’s exceed them. Together let’s build
a strong community. Let’s connect the parts to make a whole. Agriculture. Arts. Community.
Education.
Strong partnerships will secure funding and interest from investors. We need to collaborate if our vision
is to become a reality.

Subject/Title:
Third Quarter Financial Report for 2014
Recommendation:
That Council receives the Third Quarter Financial Report for 2014.
Background/Purpose:
To provide Council with a summary of our financial activity for three quarters of 2014.
The attached spreadsheet reflects the departmental 2014 budget and actual revenues
and expenditures to September 30 and variances. In addition to the Third Quarter
Summary, a report on Capital Projects is included.
It is anticipated that the Municipality will be challenged to operate within budget for the
remainder of 2014 due to higher than normal snowfalls and inconsistent hydro billings
during 2013 and 2014. We are currently at 58.0% of expenditures and have collected
and/or billed 72.7% of budgeted revenues. The significant differences are explained
below.
Analysis/Comments:

Taxes have been billed for all properties on the assessment roll;

Gayle Frost, CAO
Department:
Environmental Services
Subject/Title:
Aeration Chronology Report
Recommendation:
-that council receives the report from the Manager of Environmental Services as
information
Background/Purpose:
At the council meeting on September 30th, council requested copies of the resolutions
regarding direction provided to staff about aeration upgrades at Brighton's Water
Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) in the following resolution:
That Council defers the staff report regarding the Water Pollution Control Plant to the
October 20, 2014 Council meeting and have staff provide copies of the staff reports &
minutes of the meetings referred to.
Upgrading the aeration is expected to decrease the levels of ammonia in effluent from
the WPCP. Currently, there are annual, seasonal exceedances of the levels of effluent
ammonia permitted in the Environmental Compliance Approval for the WPCP.
Analysis/Comments:
Minutes for all the referenced Council meetings are available on the Municipality of
Brighton website: www.brighton.ca or upon request from the Clerk's office. On October
3, 2011, Council received a proposal and presentation from AECOM regarding upgrades
to Brighton's WPCP to address ammonia exceedances in the effluent (Note, there was
Page 102 of 236
no staff report accompanying the presentation). Included in the proposal, was the
installation of floating aerators. Subsequently, there were staff reports presented to
Council on December 17, 2012, January 7, 2013 and February 19, 2013 that indicated
the status of the aeration upgrades at the WPCP. Two of the staff reports are
regarding an Order received from the Ministry of the Environment (MOE), in relation to
ammonia exceedances at the WPCP, indicating their knowledge and direction regarding
the status of the aeration upgrades at the WPCP.

That Council receives the report from
AECOM, Brighton Lagoon System
Ammonia Removal Feasibility Study
Report (September, 2011) and directs
staff to implement the recommended
action plan.
Carried
Relation to Aeration:
The AECOM proposal stated:
Six aerators are ultimately required. We
are proposing that initially 3 aerators be
installed to determine if these will
improve effluent ammonia
concentrations. If this is successful, the
remaining aerators would be installed in
Phase 2....
Actions:
1. October 2011- January 2012
Biosolids volume analysis completed at
the WPCP (as per AECOM proposal).
2. June 2012- October 2012
Biosolids removal at WPCP (as per
AECOM proposal).
3. July 2012- November 2012
AECOM prepared a tender for floating
aerators with an estimated cost for
purchase that was more than two and a
half times the estimated cost in their
proposal, dated September 2011. For
Page 103 of 236
comparison, Brighton staff reviewed the
cost and ammonia removal efficiencies of
other aeration technologies. A
technology was discovered with proven
ammonia removal capabilities in
wastewater treatment systems that are
similar to Brighton's system.
4. December 2012
Brighton staff began discussing the
alternative aeration technology with the
MOE.

Municipality of Brighton
Council Meeting
December 17, 2012
Provincial Officer’s Order 3154-92GRXG
Recommendation:
It is recommended that Council receives the report, dated December 17th, 2012, from
the Environmental Services Manager, regarding the Provincial Officer’s Order 315492GRXG.
Discussion:
On December 6th, 2012, the Corporation of the Municipality of Brighton was issued a
Provincial Officer’s Order (3154-92GRXG) from the Ministry of the Environment (MOE)
regarding non-compliance with final effluent criteria for ammonia, stipulated in
Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) Number 3560-8A8LEY. The objective of the
Order is to ensure the Municipality is following an action plan designed to reduce
ammonia levels in the effluent from the facultative lagoon.
The instructions in the Order are summarized below:
1.
Prepare and submit an application for amendment for the existing ECA for the
purpose of establishing and using an aeration system, as recommended in
AECOM’s report “Brighton Lagoon System Ammonia Removal Feasibility Study
Report”, dated September 2011.
2
Hire a consultant to assess the need for biosolids removal at the Water Pollution
Control Plant (WPCP) and have the consultant prepare a report with a schedule
of implementation for biosolids removal. Then the Municipality must implement
the consultant’s recommended schedule.
Brighton staff reviewed the Order and determined there may be a more fiscally
responsible and efficient way to meet the same objective. Staff met with MOE staff on
December 11th and presented a proposed alternative action plan. The MOE expressed
no objections to the presented action plan and the Order will be amended. A summary
of the action plan is below.
The Municipality will hire a contractor, early in 2013, to continue with the removal of
biosolids from the lagoons at the WPCP that was started in 2012. The removal will
begin as early as possible in the spring and will continue until the volume stated in the
Cambium report (Brighton Sludge Characterization, January 2012) is removed.
Following removal of the biosolids, the Municipality will engage a contractor to conduct
Page 174 of 236
a pilot study for an aeration system. The pilot study will allow the Municipality to
evaluate the efficiency of an aeration system before investing in a complete installation.
The pilot study will require a temporary amendment of the ECA, with an application to
be submitted early in 2013.
The MOE will be provided with a written copy of the action plan and then the Order will
be amended. Once the amended Order has been received, Council will be provided
with an information update.
Financial Implications:
Sufficient funds are available in the Wastewater Department reserves to cover the costs
associated with the biosolids removal. The Municipality is requesting a quote for a pilot
study for an aeration system.

The reasons for the imposition of these terms and conditions are as follows:
1.
Condition 1 is imposed to ensure that the Works are built and operated in the manner in which they were
described for review and upon which approval was granted. This condition is also included to emphasize
the precedence of Conditions in the Certificate and the practice that the Approval is based on the most
current document, if several conflicting documents are submitted for review. The condition also advises
the Owners their responsibility to notify any person they authorized to carry out work pursuant to this
Certificate the existence of this Certificate .
2.
Condition 2 is included to ensure that the Works are constructed in a timely manner so that standards
applicable at the time of Approval of the Works are still applicable at the time of construction, to ensure
the ongoing protection of the environment.
3.
Condition 3 is included to ensure that the Ministry records are kept accurate and current with respect to
the approved Works and to ensure that subsequent owners of the Works are made aware of the
Certificate and continue to operate the Works in compliance with it.
4.
Condition 4 is included to ensure that the Works are constructed in accordance with the approval and
that record drawings of the Works “as constructed” are maintained for future references.
5.
Condition 5 is included to indicate that by-passes of untreated sewage to the receiving watercourse is
prohibited, save in certain limited circumstances where the failure to By-pass could result in greater
injury to the public interest than the By-pass itself where a By-pass will not violate the approved
effluent requirements, or where the By-pass can be limited or otherwise mitigated by handling it in
accordance with an approved contingency plan. The notification and documentation requirements allow
the Ministry to take action in an informed manner and will ensure the Owner is aware of the extent and
frequency of By-pass events.
6.
Condition 6 is imposed to establish non-enforceable effluent quality objectives which the Owner is
Page 13 - NUMBER 3560-8A8LEY
Page 197 of 236
obligated to use best efforts to strive towards on an ongoing basis. These objectives are to be used as a
mechanism to trigger corrective action proactively and voluntarily before environmental impairment
occur and before the compliance limits of Condition 6 are exceeded.
7.
Condition 7 is imposed to ensure that the effluent discharged from the Works to the Presqu`ile Bay,
Lake Ontario, meets the Ministry 's effluent quality requirements thus minimizing environmental impact
on the receiver and to protect water quality, fish and other aquatic life in the receiving water body.
8.
Condition 8 is included to require that the Works be properly operated, maintained, funded, staffed and
equipped such that the environment is protected and deterioration, loss, injury or damage to any person
or property is prevented. As well, the inclusion of a comprehensive operations manual governing all
significant areas of operation, maintenance and repair is prepared, implemented and kept up-to-date by
the Owner and made available to the Ministry . Such a manual is an integral part of the operation of the
Works . Its compilation and use should assist the Owner in staff training, in proper plant operation and in
identifying and planning for contingencies during possible abnormal conditions. The manual will also
act as a benchmark for Ministry staff when reviewing the Owner 's operation of the work.
9.
Condition 9 is included to enable the Owner to evaluate and demonstrate the performance of the Works ,
on a continual basis, so that the Works are properly operated and maintained at a level which is
consistent with the design objectives and effluent limits specified in the Certificate and that the Works
does not cause any impairment to the receiving watercourse.
10.
Condition 10 is included to provide a performance record for future references, to ensure that the
Ministry is made aware of problems as they arise, and to provide a compliance record for all the terms
and conditions outlined in this Certificate , so that the Ministry can work with the Owner in resolving
any problems in a timely manner.
This Certificate of Approval revokes and replaces Certificate(s) of Approval No. 3-0521-99-006 issued on
July 9, 1999.

Municipality of Brighton
Council Meeting
January 7, 2013
Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative Capital ProgramExpression of Interest
Recommendation:
That Council support submission of the attached Expression of Interest for funds for the
ammonia removal project at the Brighton Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP).
Background:
The Province of Ontario has launched a Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative
(MIII) as part of the Municipal Infrastructure Strategy. Through the MIII Capital
Program, funds are available to address necessary road, bridge, water and wastewater
projects identified as top priorities through comprehensive asset management plans.
The MIII Capital Program includes both a pre-screening and an application process.
The Expression of Interest represents the pre-screening part of the process. The
deadline to submit the Expression of Interest is January 9th, 2013.
The Municipality meets all requirements to apply for funds under the capital program,
even though the Municipality of Brighton has not completed an asset management plan.
The Municipality has committed to create a plan by December 31, 2013.
Discussion:
Staff recommend requesting assistance from the province for the proposed ammonia
removal project at the WPCP. The proposed project has four components:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Remove a minimum of 18,931 cubic metres of biosolids from the facultative
lagoon,
Increase the berm height by 600 mm to increase water retention time,
Install replacement baffles to maximize water retention time. The existing
baffles are in disrepair.
Install an aeration system designed to maximize ammonia removal.
Page 200 of 236
Financial Implications:
The estimated cost of the above project is $2,050,000. The Expression of Interest
requests the province contribute $1,367,350 (66.7%). The remainder of the funds will
come from development charges (as per the Development Charges Background Study
(Hemson Consulting Ltd. July 2009) and existing funds in the wastewater reserve.

Municipality of Brighton
Council Meeting
February 19, 2013
Provincial Officer’s Order 3154-92GRXG
Recommendation:
It is recommended that Council receives the report, dated February 19th, 2013, from the
Environmental Services Manager, regarding the Provincial Officer’s Order 3154-92GRXG.
Background:
On December 6th, 2012, the Corporation of the Municipality of Brighton was issued a
Provincial Officer’s Order (3154-92GRXG) from the Ministry of the Environment (MOE)
regarding non-compliance with final effluent criteria for ammonia, stipulated in
Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) Number 3560-8A8LEY. The objective of the
Order is to ensure that the Municipality is following an action plan designed to reduce
ammonia levels in the effluent from the facultative lagoon at the Brighton Water
Pollution Control Plant (WPCP). Brighton staff reviewed the Order and prepared an
alternative and effective plan to meet the same objective. The plan was discussed with
the MOE on December 11th, 2012 and January 30th, 2013, and described in a letter to
the MOE, dated December 19th, 2012.
Analysis/Comments:
The MOE provided the Municipality with an amended Provincial Officer’s Order on
January 31, 2013. The amended Order reflects the action plan and timelines proposed
by Municipal staff. The Municipality is on schedule to comply with the requirements and
timelines for Items 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Financial Implications:
Sufficient funds are available in the Wastewater reserves to cover the costs associated
with the requirements of the Order. Additionally, the Municipality has submitted an
Expression of Interest (EOI) through the Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative
(MIII) with the Ministry of Infrastructure. If the Municipality is successful in receiving
the requested funds, less money will need to be taken from the reserves to pay for this
project.

application sent in cheques using last year’s rates.
f) Car Show, Bussing & Dog Show: Jean House
Jean reported that 250 cars are now signed up for the weekend car show.
She claimed the weather and cancellation of other popular car shows have
made it difficult for Don to promote the show and pre-register participants.
She noted that there will be no concert parking available at Brighton Public
School and ENSS on the Friday night and there will be security there to
monitor it.
Jean noted that there will be three gates for public to enter into the car
show, which will be manned by volunteers from 10 am to 4 pm Saturday and
from 10 am to 3 pm Sunday. Don has asked the at least one volunteer be in
place at each gate by 8 am to stop people from entering.
Jean has spoken with Montgomery Bus Line and they will provide three
shuttle buses the evening of the concert.
One bus route will go from Davis Auto Repair on Highway 2, down Boes Road

Church.
The buses will begin their runs at 5:30 pm and continue pick ups every 20
minutes afterwards.
g) Assistant Volunteer Coordinator: Nancy Bahniuk
Nancy reported that she has recruited 2 more former parade marshals for the
parade float.
She is working with Rose Ellery to create a booth to display the history of
Applefest. The booth will be located at Memorial Park during Streetfair.
Nancy advised she is working on getting a sponsor to help purchase t-shirts
for Children’s Village volunteers.
She and Christine will be visiting ENSS in the coming weeks to recruit more
student volunteers.
h) Children’s Village: Laurie Caouette
Laurie reported the Children’s Village has been offered use of the mobile
stage booked for the Friday night outdoor concert.

To: Mayor Mark Walas
Subject: Proclamation Request
To: Mayor Mark Walas
Municipality of: Brighton
October 1, 2014
Dear Mayor Mark Walas,
On behalf of the Canadian Diabetes Association, I am writing to request that you issue a proclamation
(attached) to recognize November as Diabetes month and November 14th as World Diabetes Day in
Brighton.
It would be advantageous for the health and well being of everyone in Brighton to have your
acknowledgment that diabetes is a serious condition affecting 1 in 4 Canadians.
This year we are launching an awareness campaign that will focus on diabetes prevention and early
detection. We hope that you will promote it by encouraging everyone to take the CANRISK test at
DontBeRisky.ca which will be running from October 15th until November 30th.
It would be appreciated if we could have you return the signed proclamation to our office (hard copy or
a scanned copy) so that we can celebrate & recognize your support on our web site and Facebook page!
We would also welcome photos of you signing the proclamation.
I thank you in advance for your support to help the Canadian Diabetes Association lead the fight against
diabetes!
Sincerely,
Linda Rodgers
Manager of Programs, Services & Partnerships for Eastern Ontario
