8. Delegations, Petitions and Presentations a. Mr. Brad Sinclair Re: Speeding on Yankee Line Mr. Sinclair reviewed his PowerPoint presentation informing Council that he is a resident on Yankee Line in Ennismore (Selwyn Township) and is advocating on behalf of the families in the area for a 1.1 km extension of the 60km/hr speed zone on Yankee Line. He shared firsthand knowledge of the speed limit situation on Yankee Line and provided Council with some reported Motor Vehicle Collision statistics from the years 2012 to 2017. Mr. Sinclair referenced some comparable County Roads to Yankee Line as noted in his presentation which maintain a 60 km/hr speed limit. He questioned two points contained in the Public Works, Engineering & Design staff report attached to the April 18 th Agenda, namely: the false sense of safety created when reducing the speed to 60km/hr with the potential to lead to impatient, non-compliant drivers and the costs of installing signage and proceeding with line painting as estimated in Alternative 3 of the staff report. Mr. Sinclair concluded his presentation by discussing the safety impact of reducing the speed limit and asked Council to consider that 17 seconds as a result of a reduction in speed could make all the difference in saving a life. He responded to Council questions. 186-2018 Moved by: Councillor Low Seconded by: Councillor Martin Be it resolved that County Council receives the presentation from Mr. Brad Sinclair regarding Speeding on Yankee Line.

b. Ms. Donna Ballantyne, Ennismore Ward Councillor Re: Speeding on Yankee Line The Ennismore Ward Councillor discussed the safety concerns for the stretch under consideration along Yankee Line. Ms. Ballantyne referenced a survey conducted by the Smith- Ennismore Community Policing volunteers wherein on the evening of May 25, 2017 a traffic count of 216 vehicles was held for just over a half an hour. She advised that of the 216 vehicles surveyed, 60% were over the speed limit with the top speed reaching 105 km/hr in the 80km/hr zone. She noted that two of the neighboring organizations on Yankee Line (The Quarry Golf Club and the Causeway Christian Assembly) were both in favour of seeing the speed limit reduced by 20 km/hr on Yankee Line. Ms. Ballantyne encouraged Council to consider Alternative 3 in the joint Engineering & Design report included on the Agenda that would see a speed limit reduction of 80km/hr to 60km/hr. She responded to Council questions. 187-2018 Moved by: Councillor Low Seconded by: Councillor Jones 9.

10. Staff Reports a. Public Works - Engineering & Design Report prepared by: Peter Nielsen, Manager, Engineering & Design and Kendra Reid, Senior Engineering Technologist Re: County Road (CR) 14 Geometrics and Speed Limit Review The Assistant Manager, Engineering and Design gave an overview of the joint report explaining CR 14 within the study area (from CR 16 to McAuley Road) is identified in the March 2014 update of the County of Peterborough Transportation Master Plan as a Class B rural collector undivided roadway. Mr. Saccoccia advised that pursuant to the request of the Smith- Ennismore Police Services Board (PSB), a review of the existing speed zone along CR 14 from CR 16 to McAuley Road was conducted by County staff which included the following five evaluation criteria: 1. Design speed versus posted speed; 2. Stopping sight distance; 3. Accident history; 4. Changes in surrounding land use; 5. Traffic data. The Assistant Manager, Engineering & Design discussed the four alternatives contained in the joint report developed in response to staff s findings for the speed limit study, namely: 1.a) No change to existing speed limit (Do Nothing); 1.b) No change to existing speed limit (2017 Upgrade & Installation of OTM Signage); 2. Reduction of speed limit from 80 km/hr to 70 km/hr; 3. Reduction of speed limit from 80 km/hr to 60 km/hr; 4. Geometric improvements. Mr. Saccoccia advised based on staff s findings there is no trend in accident history that necessitates a speed limit reduction and the signage improvements implemented in 2017 exceed the minimum requirements of the Ontario Traffic Manual which have reduced the risk to the County. He concluded his presentation by noting Alternative 1b) outlined in the report would maintain the efficiency of CR 14 as a main traffic corridor by keeping the speed limit at 80 km/hr and would satisfy the objective of the County s Official Plan, Section 5.3 Transportation 5.3.2. He responded to Council questions. Page 6

b. Peterborough County/City Paramedics (PCCP) Report prepared by: Randy Mellow, Chief of Paramedics Re: Request for Donation of Surplus Ambulance to PARN s Harm Reduction Program The Chief of Paramedics for PCCP reported that PARN, an organization that focuses on Community-Based HIV/STBBI Programs support, prevention and education has requested a donation of a surplus ambulance from the Peterborough County/City Paramedics. The donation would assist PARN in reaching its goal of further reducing risks related to finding needles in the community and used equipment in residences and further, would help connect people to other community services. Mr. Mellow explained that in County Policy FI-4 if an asset is deemed as surplus, it will be made available to other departments within the County. If there is no interest by other departments the asset can then be made available for purchase by the public. He advised on March 14, 2018 Council authorized the purchase of three new Crestline Ambulances. As a result of this purchase, three existing ambulances will be deemed as surplus and will be disposed of through Policy FI-4. He discussed the financial impacts noting that the anticipated shortfall resulting from a donation of a surplus ambulance to PARN would be approximately $5,000 in anticipated revenue with savings sought elsewhere within the PCCP operating budget to offset the loss of revenue. Mr. Mellow recommended that Council approve the donation of a surplus decommissioned ambulance to PARN s Harm Reduction Program. Mr. Mellow advised that Kim Dolan, Executive Director for PARN was in attendance should Council have any questions. They responded to Council questions. 191-2018 Moved by: Councillor Low Seconded by: Councillor Windover Be it resolved that Council approves the donation of a surplus decommissioned Ambulance to PARN s Harm Reduction Program.

c. Peterborough County/City Paramedics (PCCP) Report prepared by: Randy Mellow, Chief of Paramedics Re: Paramedic Service Event Coverage The Chief of Paramedics advised that PCCP receives requests from a number of organizations requesting event medical coverage. These requests range from private/for profit events to events held by charitable organizations. Mr. Mellow explained that the County of Peterborough Tariff of Fees By-law includes a Council approved fee schedule for Paramedic Services provided for events. Mr. Mellow reported that during the 2017 budget deliberations, Council committed to providing Peterborough Musicfest with both financial support as well as in-kind donation of Paramedic Services for five (5) events throughout the 2017 season. He advised the total financial contribution remained the same in the 2018 budget, however Musicfest has requested coverage for one (1) additional event in which PCCP will be able to accommodate within the current operational budget. Mr. Mellow explained that without formalized agreements for the service requests, PCCP is seeking direction from Council to establish a consistent approach to responding to these requests in a manner that is both equitable and fiscally responsible. He concluded by recommending that Council direct the department to apply the rates established through the most current County of Peterborough Tariff of Fees By-law for any request for services described within, with the exclusion of specific commitments authorized by Council through the budget process. He responded to Council questions. 192-2018 Moved by: Councillor Martin Seconded by: Councillor Bonneau Be it resolved that Council direct Peterborough County/City Paramedics to apply the rates established through the most current County of Peterborough Tariff of Fees By-law for any request made to the department for Paramedic Services described within the by-law, effective January 1 st, 2019.
