PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONScope: Construction of a new 2-lane bridge structure on Church Street at East Duffins Creek and the reconstruction of approximately 700 metres of Church Street from Rossland Road to the hydro corridor. The project includes urbanization of the road, new street lighting, on street bike lanes in each direction, a sidewalk on the west side and a multi-use trail on the east side. The new bridge over East Duffins Creek will be a new 3-span structure, with a bottom opening of 60 metres and a total length of 97 metres.
Rationale: A Schedule 'C' Environmental Assessment for improvements to Church Street from Taunton Road to Rossland Road was completed in 2013. The preferred solution includes urbanizing the road, providing pedestrian and cycling facilities and replacing the structure at East Duffins Creek with a longer span to improve road site lines and safety as well as improving the hydraulics of the creek at the road crossing.
Reference: 2013 Church Street Improvements Environmental Study Report; 2018 DC Background Study, Items T04 and T05; 2019 Integrated Transportation Master Plan
Schedule: Construction started in 2019 and will continue into 2020

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONPumper Rescue Unit # P44 is scheduled for replacement. This unit has been in service since 2002 and currently has a spare truck role to respond as required, and is a temporary replacement for first line apparatus out of service. Upon a thorough fleet evaluation, it is recommended by staff to retire P44. The replacement Pumper Rescue will be a suitable replacement and include modern design and technology improvements such as a galvanized frame to increase longevity and reduce maintenance costs during its life cycle. A conservative delivery time for a new Pumper Rescue is typically 16 months. The replaced apparatus, P44, would be sold at public auction.
Most of the Pumper Rescue equipment and tools were purchased when the Pumper Rescues came into service in 2002. This equipment needs to be replaced, as it is reaching the end of its service life, in order to adapt to changing technology.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONScope: The Building Code Statute Law Amendment Act, 2002, requires municipalities to establish fees under the Act, in that: “The total amount of the fees authorized under clause 7(1)(c) must not exceed the anticipated reasonable cost of the principal authority to administer and enforce this Act in its area of jurisdiction.” The user fees review also covers the front-end Planning Act mandated component of the development process and the Municipal Act mandated fee activity involving engineering development agreement processes that are initiated after draft plan sub-division and site plan approvals.
The review and analysis of Planning, Building and Engineering fees will establish a baseline cost and provide recommendations whether or not fee changes are warranted. Model principles and processes are also compared with other Ontario Municipalities.
Rationale: The use of an activity based costing model will assist staff in Planning, Building Approvals, and Development Engineering in the Town's ongoing efforts to achieve compliance with the fee design provisions of the OBCA and reinforces customer service commitment by documenting DAAP operational processes. This model will also include periodic updates to reflect current costs, staff resources, and most recent development projections. The last Building fee review update was completed in 2018. The analysis of these inputs determines the recommended fee changes required to achieve an appropriate level of funding for the 2022-2026 administration and enforcement of the Building Code Act in Ajax.
Reference: Building Code Statute Law Amendment Act, 2002, 2018 Building Permit Fees Review, Section 69 of the Planning Act
Schedule: Project completion is anticipated by mid-2022.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONReplace Rooftop Units and Re-Duct Supply Air The facility is serviced by two rooftop units (RTUs) that are controlled by their own thermostats, both located in the main hall. The rooftop units were installed with the original building in 2001 and are nearing the end of their serviceable life. Staff are recommending replacing the RTUs with a single larger unit and re-ducting both supply streams and connecting the system into the building automation system (BAS).
Lighting RetrofitThe majority of the building is illuminated with T8 linear fluorescent lamps. This lighting can be found as strip lights in the main hall, the mechanical/electrical rooms, the washrooms and the garage. They can also be found in the snack bar kitchen in recessed fixtures. This lighting is inefficient and should be updated. The exterior lighting is comprised of metal halide 75W lamps in the lamp post fixtures. Inside the main hall, there are a number of track lighting fixtures that use PAR30 metal halide lamps. This is old lighting technology and is due for a replacement. Staff are recommending replacing all existing lighting fixtures with LED and installing occupancy sensors throughout.
Replace Domestic Hot WaterDomestic hot water for the facility is heated to 140°F in an electric heater tank with a 300W element. As the building is often not occupied, the hot water sits in the tank for long periods of time, constantly losing heat through the tank envelope. Staff are recommending installing a tankless electric water heater. This will eliminate all stand-by losses as hot water is generated on demand.
The retrofits will improve lighting quality and reduce the energy consumption and GHG emissions by an estimated 2 tonnes annually. The Town will retain an electrical consultant to complete the detailed design and contract documents.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONThe McLean Community Centre (MCC) was constructed in 1994 with a major expansion in 2000. The facility has an approximate area of 75,000 sq.ft. and consists of a large indoor swimming pool, tot pool, hot tub, gymnasium, fitness centre, Library Branch and various rental spaces.
The existing pool filtration system for the main pool, tot pool and hot tub at MCC is an open pit sand filtration system and is original to Phase 1 construction. The existing pool filtration system is reaching the end of its useful life and requires replacement. The piping and fittings associated with the system are showing signs of deterioration due to age and require replacement. The proposed replacement filtration system will be a closed tank system, new piping, fittings, pumps with variable frequency drives (VFDs) and a make-up water controller.
The existing system doesn’t allow for control of the make-up water which results in significant water usage associated with the pools. The replacement system will allow for greater automation and control over the make-up water required. It’s expected there will be reduction in water usage and CO2 emissions by an estimated 8 tonnes annually.
In 2020, staff will retain a consultant to complete the detailed design and contract documents.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONThe Ajax Community Centre (ACC) was built in 1967 with expansions and major renovations in 1972, 1990 and 1999. The building is approximately 217,000 sq.ft. and includes 4 indoor ice rinks, a fitness centre, an indoor swimming pool, 5 squash courts, youth activity rooms, administration offices, meeting rooms and child care centres.
The indoor pool filtration system is not automated and relies on pool staff to manage. There are variable frequency drives (VFDs) installed on the pool pumps, however they don't have the capability to connect to a control device to modulate their power output.
Staff are proposing to install a pool filter controller system which will integrate into the existing pool VFDs and flow meter.

The building is approximately 217,000 sq.ft. and includes 4 indoor ice rinks, a fitness centre, an indoor swimming pool, 5 squash courts, youth activity rooms, administration offices, meeting rooms and child care centres. The ACC is one of the Town's busiest recreation facilities with hundreds of visitors per day.
The facility is equipped with numerous interior and rooftop mounted air handling units which provide heating, cooling and ventilation to various rooms and areas of the facility. The air handling units are scheduled and controlled by the Building Automation System (BAS). The outdoor air dampers on the air handling units are set to a fixed minimum position during occupied hours. This provides the necessary ventilation to each space based on its maximum expected occupancy. As occupancy of any individual area varies greatly over the course of the day, this results in over ventilation of many of the areas during much of the occupied time.
Demand (CO2) control on the air handlers would ensure that ventilation air volumes are matched to occupancy under all conditions. CO2 sensors would be installed in occupied areas and return air ducts, as appropriate for each air handler. As ambient (outdoor) CO2 levels can fluctuate, an outside sensor would be installed. The difference between the indoor and outside levels provides the best measure of ventilation requirements in the space. The sensors would be connected to the building automation system (BAS), which would be reprogrammed to maintain the indoor air CO2 levels at 700 parts per million (ppm) above ambient. In addition the outside air and relief dampers will be replaced with low leakage dampers. The retrofit is expected to provide a reduction in GHG emissions by an estimated 45 tonnes annually once implemented and savings in utilities.
Staff will retain a consultant to complete the detailed design and contract documents.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONThe Memorial Pool Site was built in 2010 and consists of a one storey concrete change room building with an approximate area of 5,000 sq.ft. and a large inground swimming pool as well as a splash pad.
The splash pad was designed to recirculate water once it's treated with chlorine and carbon dioxide, however the health regulations surrounding splash pad water systems have recently changed..In addition to the chlorine and carbon dioxide treatment, the recirculating water also needs to be treated with an Ultra Violet (UV) light. Currently the water used in the splash pad is not being recirculated, but going directly into the waste water stream, which is resulting in significant water consumption throughout the season.
The intention of this project is to upgrade the existing splash pad water recirculation system by installing a UV light system which will allow for water to be recirculated and will save water consumption at the facility. The project will be tendered early in the year to allow for construction to take place prior to the summer pool season.

Town Hall was originally constructed in 1968, with two major expansions and retrofitting occurring in 2003 and
2005. The facility has an approximate area of 55,000 sq.ft and the Council Chambers has an approximate area
of 4,000 sq.ft.
The construction of the Council Chambers was completed as part of the 2005 retrofit. The Chambers relies on
several audio-visual (AV) hardware and software components to ensure that the Town's meetings are conducted
in a professional and accessible manner. The existing audio-visual technology has exceeded its useful life and
is now experiencing occasional failure. A significant hardware failure occurred in late 2017 that could not be
repaired due to the unavailability of compatible hardware, which has reduced the functionality of the space.
Further hardware failures may risk the overall usability of the Chambers for public meetings. Technological
upgrades, including live streaming of meetings, has become commonplace and expected by the community
and Council. Additionally, a number of physical upgrades are necessary to replace end of life interior finishes,
improve accessibility, and enhance the overall usability and professionalism of the space for members of the
public, staff, and Council. This includes replacement of lighting, carpeting, millwork and other physical design
elements including the installation of new lighting zones.
In 2019, staff began the detailed design stage for the technology upgrades and physical re-design of the
Council Chambers in order to bring the space up to modern standards for public meetings. In 2021, staff are
proposing to move forward with the AV upgrades and renovations to the interior space. Staff will retain a

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONThe Main Branch Library & Fire Station #2 facility energy audits identified recommendations to reduce the energy consumption and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission of the facilities. One of the recommendations identified the need to replace the existing low efficient boilers at Main Branch and retrofit the existing low efficient heating system at Fire Station #2.
Main Branch Library Boiler Retrofit The Main Branch Library was constructed in 2002 and is approximately 33,000 sq.ft. The facility heating is supplied by two atmospheric boilers which are original to the building. The domestic hot water for the facility is supplied by one atmospheric boiler, also original to the building. Staff are recommending replacing the three boilers with new high efficiency condensing boilers with an efficiency of 97%. It is estimated that this replacement will reduce GHG emissions by 6 tonnes annually.
Fire Station #2 Boiler Retrofit Fire Station #2 was constructed in 1975 and is approximately 14,500 sq.ft. The existing heating equipment is reaching the end of its useful life and requires replacement. The system supplies heating throughout the Fire Station with the exception of the apparatus bay. The existing heating system is an electric system consisting of coils and baseboard heating that is very inefficient. Staff are proposing to replace the existing equipment with a high efficiency condensing boiler that has an efficiency of 97%. The replacement system will supply heating throughout the facility with the exception of the apparatus bay. The apparatus bay heating is currently supplied by energy efficient unit gas heaters. The proposed system will incorporate a new coil and radiator system resulting in annual utility savings of 84,000 kwh.
A consultant will be retained to complete the detail design and contract documents.

In 2014, staff retained an engineering firm to complete a roof condition assessment and as a result of the assessment the MCC roof was recommended for replacement in two phases. In 2015, staff underwent Phase 1 of the roof replacement which included replacing a roof area of approximately 45,000 sq.ft. with a high performance tapered roof system.
Staff are recommending implementing Phase II of the roof replacement, which will include replacing approximately 25,000 sq.ft. of roof. The roofs associated with Phase II are approaching the end of their useful life and require replacement. Staff are recommending the roofs be replaced with the same high performance fully tapered modified bitumen roof system that was installed in Phase I. This high performance roof system will contribute to improving the buildings energy performance with the increased insulation.
The exterior precast concrete cladding panels are exhibiting signs of cracking, water saturation and spalling and therefore require repair. The repairs will consist of restoration of existing cracks and spalling concrete as well as the application of a clear water repellent sealer to reduce water saturation and infiltration as well as caulking and painting. The repairs will increase the lifecycle of the existing cladding by ensuring the building envelope remains water tight.
Staff will retain a consultant to complete the detailed design and contract documents. Once detailed design is complete, staff will be able to quantify energy and budget savings.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATION
The Town of Ajax is a vibrant, dynamic and progressive municipality. People from all around the world are
attracted to its small town charm, and big city amenities. From our storied past and natural landscapes to
excellent services and welcoming atmosphere, Ajax offers a high quality of life.
Since Council inauguration, Corporate Communications has begun to introduce refreshed communications
products including a new website, public engagement platform and corporate publications (Ajax Today) to
reflect our new leadership and direction. While this is a promising starting point, a formal process and
comprehensive corporate review (audit) of all branded print and digital corporate assets is required.
In addition, the Town has many sub-brands for various projects, initiatives and programs. Having a consistent
and uniform approach to branding and identifiers will assist in building brand awareness and eliminate
confusion with Town and community led initiatives, events, programs and/or services.
With a high volume of branded collateral and materials being produced, and increase in graphic design
positions at the Town, a new corporate brand strategy including new corporate visual identity manual and
brand standards are required.
It’s also important to note that accessibility compliance has also changed. The Town’s brand standards must
also be updated to reflect these legislated requirements.
The objective of this project is twofold - first review, refresh and revitalize the Town’s overall brand, ensuring
that it’s reflective of Ajax today and our vision for the future. Second, to review current logos and identifiers, and
refresh the design and visual identity to promote the Town’s brand story.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATION
Scope: Resurfacing of the existing main parking lot, improvements to Arbour Park and Traffic Calming.
Rationale: The existing Town Hall parking lot is aging. With aging comes deterioration, including settlements,
potholes, ponding and a breakdown of the parking surface which leads to an uneven surface. The resurfacing of
municipal parking lots, including concrete sidewalk and curb repairs, is a necessary component of the Town's
maintenance program, prolonging the life of the pavement structure. The resurfacing of the Town Hall existing
parking lot will include the installation of new EV charging stations, AODA compliant accessible parking spaces
complete with curb depressions and tactile walking surface indicators as well as LED lighting.
Arbour Park is located within the Town Hall Campus adjacent to the Memorial Outdoor Pool. The proposed
design will look to replace the existing gazebo as well as incorporate increased landscaping and new
accessible pedestrian connections from the parking lot to the Library and Town Hall entrances with new LED
Pathway Lighting. The proposed improvements will support summer camp programs at the Outdoor Pool and
events taking place during summer months.
Reference: In an effort to better evaluate the condition of municipal parking lots and determine an appropriate
life-cycle, staff conduct a conditional assessment of all municipal parking lots annually. As a result, the Town
Hall parking lot was deemed a priority. The Arbour Park Improvements project is consistent with Section 2.2.6.1
of the Town of Ajax Official Plan which states that the Town of Ajax shall establish open space and parks with
amenities that encourage physical activity, wellness, and informal use opportunities for a wide range of users.
This project responds to the Recreation, Parks and Culture Master Plan's goal of assuming a leadership role in
providing and facilitating recreation, parks, arts, and cultural services (Goal 2).
Schedule: Detailed design is scheduled for 2021, with construction in 2022.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONTraffic control signals located where two municipally owned roads intersect are under the jurisdiction of the local municipality and maintained by the Region of Durham. In order to effectively achieve and maintain the required level of LED luminance performance and reliability, the Region, as of 2018, is administering an annual LED indication replacement program over a 5-year cycle ensuring that all signal indications are replaced once they exceed the regular 5-year warranty period. This program will also address the issue of signal head mounting failures at locations equipped with a single point mounting apparatus. As a remedial measure, existing single point contact signal head mounting hardware will be converted to a double point contact apparatus to reduce the occurrence of failures during extreme weather conditions.
The installations will be completed by the Region of Durham at intersections under the jurisdiction of the Town of Ajax including:

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONScope: Construction of a new boardwalk located at the eastern terminus of the Duffin's Creek pedestrian bridge, connecting the pedestrian bridge with Rotary Park and the waterfront trail.
Rationale: A section of the waterfront trail continues to be susceptible to washout at the foot of the Duffins Creek pedestrian bridge on a regular basis. With rising lake levels and higher intensity rainfalls, an elevated board walk is required. The proposed boardwalk will tie into the existing bridge structure to ensure that residents and visitors can continue to use the waterfront trail in a safe manner. In 2018, staff worked with the Toronto Region Conservative Authority (TRCA) to complete a detailed design for the construction of this pedestrian boardwalk. Staff presented conceptual designs at the waterfront meeting held in March 2018 to obtain public feedback. Staff presented the final design at a public open house in 2019.
References: This project satisfies Section 2.2.6.1.e of the Town of Ajax Official Plan by further developing an interconnected trail and pathway system that connects people to places within and adjacent to Ajax. This project is in line with the policies of The Ajax Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 2010 and responds to the Recreation, Parks and Culture Master Plan's goal of enhancing a comprehensive trail system (Goal 7).

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONTraffic control signals located where two municipally owned roads intersect are under the jurisdiction of the local municipality and maintained by the Region of Durham. The Traffic Signal Pedestrian Countdowns project will replace the existing pedestrian signals with the latest traffic control technology.
In 2019, the Region changed the method used to calculate and display pedestrian signal timings to improve operations for pedestrians. This change also allows them to display the pedestrian countdown times for all crossings, which will allow pedestrians to better judge their walking pace and the time they have remaining to cross a road. In order to implement the new pedestrian timing completely, those intersections with existing countdown indications will need to be replaced as they are currently not compatible with the new methodology.
Thirty-six (36) locations do not currently have the new pedestrian countdown heads. There will be twelve (12) installations in 2020 and six (6) installations each of the following years until 2024. The installation of pedestrian countdown heads will be coordinated with the installation of accessible pedestrian signals.
This project will be completed by the Region of Durham.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONTraffic control signals located where two municipally owned roads intersect are under the jurisdiction of the local municipality and maintained by the Region of Durham. The Traffic Signal UPS Battery Backup project will see the installation of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) / battery backup systems in traffic control cabinets to maintain traffic signal operation during power failures.
UPS provides improved field infrastructure reliability leading to effective signal operation, reduced traffic congestion, reduced traffic signal controller maintenance and increased public safety. A UPS is integrated into the circuitry of the traffic control signal that seamlessly provides alternate power when power outages occur. In the event of a power outage, the UPS system will provide backup power to ensure normal uninterruptible traffic control signal operation for a four (4) hour period for normal, fully functioning traffic signal operation and seven (7) hours of an all-direction red flash operation. In most cases, local hydro authorities typically have powerrestored within the initial four-hour period of full traffic signal operation. Existing signalized intersectioncharacteristics and data has been assessed, evaluated and ranked for all traffic control signals under the Town’sjurisdiction.
This project will be completed by the Region of Durham.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONAn audit of the Town’s pathway lighting was completed through the 2009 Pathway Lighting Study. Since 2009 several of the walkway and park lighting poles have been replaced with concrete poles which have a significantly longer life span than steel or aluminum. During the design phase of the pole replacement projects it became evident that the location of buried electrical wiring and connection points to the hydro grid were not readily available. Knowing the location of buried wiring is vital in avoiding damage due to construction, finding underground faults and determining the electrical load on the streetlighting system when the two systems are joined.
The effective management of the buried and above ground walkway and park lighting infrastructure assets can only be accomplished through reliable data records. The walkway and park lighting structural review and mapping is necessary to build on existing digital location data for all lighting as well as determine the location of the buried wiring. The condition of walkway and park lighting poles will be re-evaluated and a report will be provided with recommendations for:
- Prioritized pole replacements- Maintenance recommendations- Separation of walkway and park lighting systems from streetlighting systems where necessary
All information will be provided in digital format compatible with the town's GIS system. The condition assessment and valuation of the walkway and park lighting infrastructure assets will form part of future updates to the Asset Management Plan.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONScope: Construction of the Rossland Road widening from east of Church Street to west of Westney Road to a 4-lane urban standard road with centre turning lane.
Rationale: The Environmental Assessment (EA) to facilitate the widening and reconstruction of Rossland Road to a 4-lane urban standard road with centre turning lane between the Town’s west municipal boundary and Westney Road was completed in 2009. The realignment and widening of Rossland Road within these limits will not only improve local traffic flow but enhance safety by improving site lines, adding dedicated turning lanes, transit operations and storm drainage. The complete streets approach will be applied to the detailed design which requires streets to be designed to enable safe, convenient, and comfortable travel for all modes of transportation. As such, the widening of Rossland Road will also include a multi-use trail, a sidewalk, cycle lanes and new LED streetlights. The realignment of Rossland Road west of Church Street was completed in 2015. The reconstruction and widening from the west Town limit to west of Church Street was completed in 2017. In addition, the Region of Durham has completed a project in 2018 to widen Rossland Road through the Westney Road intersection and widen Westney Road from Rossland Road to Delaney Drive. The widening of Rossland Road from Church Street to Westney Road is the final work identified through this EA and has been sequenced to follow the Regions projects.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONThe Town’s municipal parking lot infrastructure is aging. With aging comes deterioration, including settlements, potholes, ponding and a breakdown of the parking surface which leads to an uneven surface. The resurfacing of municipal parking lots, including concrete curb repairs, is a necessary component of the Town’s maintenance program, prolonging the life of the pavement structure. While resurfacing is utilized wherever possible, older parking lots may require reconstruction.
In an effort to better evaluate the condition of municipal parking lots and determine an appropriate lifecycle, staff conduct a conditional assessment of all municipal parking lots annually. The reconstruction of the Bartlett parking lot has been deemed a priority.
An engineering design was completed in 2019. Permeable paving will be used in an effort to provide improved stormwater management along the waterfront. Entry features will be constructed to match existing parking lots along the waterfront.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONThis project is a continuation of the Town’s annual streetlighting improvement program. It has been identified that areas within the Town, generally built prior to 1980, are susceptible to frequent streetlighting maintenance due to the age of concrete and wooden poles, breakdown of underground cabling and the use of older luminaire technology. Staff have identified the Southwood Park and Midtown Neighbourhoods as the primary locations for the Streetlight Neighbourhood Improvement Program. The use of LED technology was utilized in the design of neighbourhood improvements. The streetlight design was completed in 2014. Work will be done on the Strathy Rd., Burrells Rd. and Lambard Cres.

In order to effectively achieve and maintain the required level of LED luminance performance and reliability, the Region, as of 2018, is administering an annual LED indication replacement program over a 5-year cycle ensuring that all signal indications are replaced once they exceed the regular 5-year warranty period. This program will also address the issue of signal head mounting failures at locations equipped with a single point mounting apparatus. As a remedial measure, existing single point contact signal head mounting hardware will be converted to a double point contact apparatus to reduce the occurrence of failures during extreme weather conditions. The installations will be completed by the Region of Durham at intersections under the jurisdiction of the Town of Ajax. Locations will be identified on an annual basis.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONThe existing wiring for the streetlights is currently fed from backyard hydro poles and run underground through private properties. There have been a significant number of broken buried wires over the last few years and repairs are not always possible due to the location of the broken wires within residents' driveways and rear yards. There doesn’t appear to be any easements on record which makes it difficult for the town to access and repair these wires on private property. Having direct buried wires in a private yard is not the best practice.
The project would include design of new buried streetlighting wire to replace the existing failing wiring throughout the Lake Vista Neighbourhood. The project would replace the existing wiring that is currently fed from backyard hydro poles and run underground through private properties. Construction is planned for 2022.

Rationale: In 2009, the Town of Ajax retained a landscape architect to re-design St. Andrew's Park. Significant public consultation assisted with the programming for this park plan. Previous phases of construction of this park included a walking trail, outdoor exercise equipment, sun shelter with games tables, a community garden, a pollinator garden and an orchard. The final phase of this project involves the installation of a playground in the northeast corner of the park, and will align with the timing of the construction of the site improvements adjacent to the community centre.
The Recreation, Parks and Culture Master Plan (2008) recommends that the Town target the provision of playgrounds within a service radius of 500 metres of all built up residential areas, unobstructed by major barriers. This playground will be designed to fulfill the needs of local residents.
References: This project is consistent with Section 2.2.6.1 of the Town of Ajax Official Plan which states that the Town of Ajax shall establish open space and parks with amenities that encourage physical activity, wellness, and informal use opportunities for a wide range of users. This project responds to the Recreation, Parks and Culture Master Plan's goal of assuming a leadership role in providing and facilitating recreation, parks, arts, and cultural services (Goal 2).

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONThe existing wiring for the streetlights is currently fed from backyard hydro poles and run underground through private properties. There have been a significant number of broken buried wires over the last few years and repairs are not always possible due to the location of the broken wires within residents' driveways and rear yards. There doesn’t appear to be any easements on record which makes it difficult for the town to access and repair these wires on private property. Having direct buried wires in a private yard is best practice.
Design of new buried streetlighting wire to replace the existing failing wiring throughout the Lake Vista Neighbourhood is to be completed in 2021, and construction is planned for 2022.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONScope: Exeter Park is located on Exeter Road, east of Harwood Avenue, and south of Kings Crescent. This project is for the design of a future park retrofit for Exeter Park. Retrofitting of this existing park may include the replacement of the existing junior and senior playground equipment, the resurfacing of the existing walkways and landscape plaza, the replacement of the existing site furniture and new tree planting. Through the public consultation process, the removal of the existing decommissioned wading pool and the inclusion of a new water feature (i.e. splashpad) will be considered. Also, consideration for other amenities will be part of the design exercise including opportunities for outdoor recreation such as a leash-free area and a multi-use court. Rationale: The benefits of improving park facilities in the Town include enhanced physical activity levels in residents, improved community networking opportunities and safer neighborhoods. Replacement playgrounds are designed with community input and engineered to ensure compliance with CSA guidelines and Region of Durham Health Standards. The existing wading pool has exceeded its useful life and has been closed permanently. A new feature that eliminates the need for standing water will continue to provide appropriate play value and will reduce annual costs.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONA healthy and resilient urban forest can mitigate the impacts of climate change, improve local air quality, reduce the speed and volume of stormwater runoff, decrease residential energy costs, provide habitat for local wildlife, and contribute to an aesthetically pleasing urban environment. In order to successfully maintain, restore, and enhance an urban forest, a clear understanding of the structure of this resource is necessary. In 2008, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), in partnership with the Town of Ajax, conducted a study of the urban forest in the Town of Ajax. The purpose of the study was to assess the structure and function of the urban forest, and to provide management recommendations for enhancing the sustainability of both the forest resource and the community as a whole. The Urban Forest Effects (UFORE now called ITREE) model analyzed standardized field data collected from 200 randomly distributed plots throughout the Town of Ajax, together with local hourly meteorological and air pollution concentration measurements, to quantify the structure and function of the urban forest. Aerial photo interpretation was used to assess canopy cover (both tree and shrub) and surface cover composition. Staff are proposing to update the existing information that will help determine if the urban forest has increased or decreased through assessment of various factors such as development and environmental conditions. It is recommended the same 200 plots be re-assessed so staff will have comparators to:
determine the actions needed to enhance the sustainability of the urban forest and assist with future budgets and strategic initiativesdetermine the most common tree speciesexamine tree canopy coverquantify how trees are providing energy savings and carbon storageimpact of invasive insects on the urban forest

Rationale: The official plan states “The Town shall : Protect people and property from the flooding, slope instability and erosion hazards resulting from severe weather events and climate change, development in watersheds, and fluctuations in the water level of Lake Ontario, using non-structural and structural protection works, and allowances for slope stability, flooding, and erosion, in conjunction with senior governments and Conservation Authorities.” The Town of Ajax and TRCA have made a significant investment in acquiring and purchasing the lands that form the Ajax waterfront. This project will provide and develop an understanding, strategy and next steps in response to the recent Lake Ontario high water levels that have caused shoreline flooding, erosion, infrastructure damage/loss on public and private property. Reference: The South Ajax Outfall Environmental Assessment 2011, Ajax Waterfront Plan 2005, The Ajax Shoreline Improvement Strategy 2011, Ajax Official Plan 2.1.10.1. Schedule: The project is scheduled to commence in 2021 to better inform the Waterfront Environmental Assessment.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONScope: The Traffic Calming Warrant ensures that appropriate traffic calming solutions are implemented on road segments where a traffic issue has been identified. The implementation process for a project begins with the collection of a topographic survey so that a preliminary design can be prepared by Town staff. Once the preliminary design is complete, a Public Information Centre is held so that the public has the opportunity to review the proposed designs and provide comments. Following the Public Information Centre the designs are finalized. Once finalized, the designs are issued for tender and construction. The number of traffic calming projects completed annually will vary depending on the complexity of the design solutions. Projects will be selected from the list of road segments that have been tested and met the criteria for traffic calming. When selecting which project to complete, Town staff will consider the severity of the traffic calming problem, the potential traffic calming solutions for a given segment, and will make an effort to coordinate any traffic calming projects with other Town projects such as paving activities or the implementation of active transportation facilities in order to maximize budget efficiencies. Rationale: A list of traffic calming warranted roadway sections was established through customer service inquiries together with the 2015 Traffic Calming Warrant Update. The preferred solution developed through this process is intended to safely decrease vehicular speeds. Topographic Survey $20,000Construction $80,000 Reference: 2015 Traffic Calming Warrant Update.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONScope: Design for physical improvements to Lake Driveway between Westney Road and McClarnan Court. The design will focus on improving and formalizing key pedestrian crossing locations, while reducing traffic speeds, improving aesthetics, accessibility and usability by all modes of travel.
Rationale: Lake Driveway is a unique street within Ajax. Although it serves as a continuous collector road that provides access to local streets and adjacent properties, it offers uninterrupted public access to the waterfront. It provides public views to the water, vegetation and recreational areas for use and enjoyment by all members of the public. It is the public gateway to the waterfront, which is recognized as a premiere recreational destination in Ajax. It is 3.7 km long with an 8.0 metre wide pavement, and a municipal sidewalk on one side of the street. Lake Driveway is also intersected by 27 public roads, 9 recreational trails, 4 parking areas and 117 private driveways and is identified for cycling facilities within the Integrated Transportation Master Plan. The Ajax Shoreline Improvement Strategy Master Plan, 2011 also indicated that better public transit service is desirable to alleviate heavy parking demand during the summer months while improving public access. A sensitively designed plan is needed which balances the competing demands for this road, while improving pedestrian access, safety and overall aesthetics.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONScope: To clean out and remove accumulated sediment within Stormwater Management Pond 26.
Rationale: In 2017, the Town undertook a Stormwater Pond Condition Assessment encompassing 6 of the 58 stormwater ponds in Ajax. Upon completion, the study provided an overall condition assessment of the selected ponds, identified deficiencies and established priorities for general maintenance and full pond rehabilitation.
SWM Pond 26 has been assumed by the Town and has not undergone any minor or major maintenance since its installation. The 2017 Stormwater Pond Condition Assessment notes that the pond does not meet the intended quality control provision and does not conform to current standards and SWM practises. The pond requires a sediment clean-out to optimize its treatment potential.
Reference: Town of Ajax Community Action Plan 2015 to 2018 - Strategic Objective: Leader in Environmental Sustainability, Item 3: Develop actions to improve water quality along the Ajax shoreline of Lake Ontario and the Duffins and Carruthers watershed; Town’s Official Plan Sections 2.2.4 and 4.2.4.of improving the quality of stormwater discharged to Lake Ontario, our primary source for drinking water; Stormwater Quality Retrofit Study 2011; and Shoreline Improvement Strategy 2011. Ministry of the Environment Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual, 2003. Schedule: The clean-out of the pond is proposed in 2024.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONThis project is for the replacement of firefighting bunker gear to support the long-term bunker gear management program.
Bunker gear, consisting of protective pants and jacket assemblies, is one of the main pieces of protective equipment that is provided to firefighters. This equipment provides protection from heat and smoke during fire scene operations along with providing protection against hot steam and vapours, absorption of hazardous products and protection from sharp objects.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1851 requires that all bunker gear, regardless of its visible condition, be removed from service after 10 years of service life. This amendment is a result of history and data showing that critical components of the protective elements in the bunker gear fail after 10 years. Many of these elements cannot be examined or tested without completely destroying the gear in the process.
Ajax Fire and Emergency Services (AFES) has implemented a bunker gear management program to ensure that all bunker gear meets NFPA standards. Under the program each firefighter is provided with a new set of bunker gear every five years. This becomes their existing, in-service gear and the older set is moved to secondary, thereby providing each firefighter with one complete primary set of gear along with one complete spare set of gear. This process will continue every five years, to ensure that all AFES bunker gear remains in good, safe and compliant condition and within the permitted service life.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONIn accordance with Provincial Legislation, a Development Charge Background Study and Development Charge By-law must be completed, at minimum, every 5 years. The current DC By-law became effective on July 16, 2018 with a revised By-Law required to be in place by July 16, 2023. The next scheduled Background Study will begin in 2022 to support the 2023 By-Law.
The Background Study is a lengthy process that involves input from various studies and continuous communication with the development community. The completion of the Development Charge Background Study and By-law ensures capital projects required by growth are funded by new development to the fullest extent possible. The study and By-law support the guiding principle of managing growth and corporate goal to support infrastructure development.
Major milestones of this project include:
Engaging consulting services for the updating of the DC Background Study Review and update of growth forecast Meetings with Development Industry Completion of Background Study Public Meeting of Council Council consideration of By-law New DC By-law becomes effective
The completion of the study and By-law requires updates and revisions to various studies and master plans including the Integrated Transportation Master Plan scheduled to being in 2021 to support the final document. It is expected that the Development Charge Background Study will be initiated by mid 2022. Reference: 2018 DC Background Study, Item A13

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATION
In June 2013, Council approved a Financial Sustainability Plan (FSP) focusing on discretionary reserves,
capital project funding and long term debt. In June 2015, minor updates were approved to the FSP related
policies. Although the current FSP has achieved its intended purpose of growing the discretionary reserve
balances, it is not adequately meeting the current funding requirements for capital replacement needs (eg.
building capital needs) and allows for little flexibility to advance strategic priorities.
Since the last update, various factors are affecting original assumptions on revenue sources, cash flows and
capital needs; these impacts are largely driven by legislation (Asset Management & Bill 108) and previous
commitments. As we continue to compile our long range capital forecast, it is evident there is a need to refine
the Town’s financial plan to reflect our long term funding requirements.
The goal of the FSP update is to review the current methodology used by the Town to fund reserves and pay for
capital projects , while ensuring the impact on tax dollars is fairly divided between current and future taxpayers
benefiting from the assets and services provided. Through this review, the Town will strive to meet the following
objectives:
- ensure the Town's aging infrastructure is maintained at the right time as guided by the Asset Management Plan
- ensure that growth will be supported with the right infrastructure at the right time (eg. transportation networks,
fire services)
- maximize the ability to use external funding sources such as grants and contributions
- identify the best use of our limited funding tools
- protect the Town against revenue uncertainties and economic risks by allowing for some flexibility in the
financial strategy
External consulting expertise will be sought to provide best practices and to ensure a well funded plan that will
take Ajax into the next 10-20 years.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONThe existing tax billing and collection software has been in use for over 20 years. Upon implementation, a number of Durham Region municipalities partnered to acquire a common software solution. The partnership approach provided initial cost savings, as well as communal support and leverage with the vendor on an on-going basis.
There have only been minor upgrades/revisions to the current system since the original implementation. The majority of the modifications have been required due to legislative changes, with little to no enhancements to improve functionality and efficiencies. Most other municipalities who participated in the original partnership have upgraded to the web-based version or acquired new tax software solutions.
An upgrade to the latest web-based version is required as the existing version is no longer compatible with Town software or supported by the vendor.

Mobile workstations, while more expensive, create significant operational efficiencies, enabling staff to be more agile, responsive, and flexible. Under its annual Workstation Replacement Program, IT Services will continue to deploy workstations that support employee mobility, where appropriate.
As an industry best practice, employee workstations are lifecycled and replaced on a controlled basis to ensure that the technology staff rely upon performs well and remains in a current, operational state. Replacement cycles may vary based on the type of workstation deployed (i.e. Surfaces will have a shorter useful life compared to standard desktop PCs), however, approximately 20 percent of the Town’s workstation fleet is replaced on an annual basis.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATIONScope: Undertake a Community Benefits Strategy and develop a Community Benefits Charge By-law (CBC By-law) to allow the Town to collect for discounted services (i.e. soft services such as parks and recreation, libraries and related studies) that are currently collected under the Town's Development Charges By-law (DC By-law). The CBC By-law will also address collection of parkland dedication and community benefits in exchange for height and density bonusing previously secured through Section 37 of the Planning Act. Concurrent with the above, undertake an administrative update to the DC By-law to reflect provincial regulatory changes in definitions and to reflect that municipalities can now only collect for non-discounted services (e.g. Fire and Transportation Services) through a DC By-law. Rationale: The More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 (Bill 108) received Royal Assent on June 6, 2019. Bill 108 introduced a new Community Benefits Charge that replaces Section 37 under the Planning Act (height and density bonusing), amends Sections 42 and 50.1 under the Planning Act (parkland), and removes the ability to collect Development Charges for discounted services (soft services) under the Development Charges Act. Proposed regulations under the Planning Act and Development Charges Act are recommending that all municipalities must transition to community benefit charge by January 1, 2021. In accordance with Provincial Legislation, the Town is still required to undertake a comprehensive update to its DC By-law for non-discounted services. The next scheduled DC Background Study will begin in 2022 to support the 2023 DC By-law. Reference: Bill 108 More Choice Act, 2019, More Choice Act,Community Benefits Charge, 2018 DC Background Study

PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATION
Scope: A review of the lands that are susceptible to flooding within the designated Special Policy Area (SPA)
along Church Street south of Kingston Road. The entire SPA extends into the City of Pickering and the study
will need to be undertaken in consultation with Pickering staff. Future development within Seaton may have
downstream impacts on this study area. The study will require floodplain modelling to confirm the extent of
area susceptible to flooding, in order to inform appropriate development restrictions for this area.
Rationale: The study will address the Official Plan policies and designations that were deferred by the Region
of Durham, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH), and the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR)
due to the SPA. The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) requires that the policy changes proposed for Special
Policy Areas must be approved by MMAH and MNR prior to being approved by Council. It is necessary to
confirm the SPA boundaries and establish appropriate development permissions in order to guide
redevelopment.

The OP Review will also examine existing policies to determine whether amendments are needed to strengthen their implementation. Components of the OP Review include an Intensification and Growth Management Study to implement the Town's population and employment growth allocations; assessment of whether certain Intensification Areas would benefit from being subject to a Community Planning Permit System; and, implementation of applicable policy direction from new Town plans and studies such as the Integrated Transportation Master Plan, Recreation Master Plan, Commercial and Employment Land Review, and Ajax Climate Risk and Resiliency Plan. This will be a staff-led project; however, external planning and technical assistance will be needed for some aspects of the project including 3D modelling of development and urban design scenarios, and analysis of associated servicing capacity.
Rationale: Under the Planning Act, municipalities are required to review and revise their Official Plan every 5 years to ensure that it conforms with provincial plans; is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement; has regard to matters of provincial interest identified in the Planning Act; and, confirms to the official plan of an upper tier municipality. Since the Town's last Official Plan Review, the Province has released updated plans and policies; and Durham Region is currently undertaking a Municipal Comprehensive Review (MCR) to update the Regional Official Plan. Soon after Durham Region's MCR, the Town's Official Plan policies will need to be reviewed and revised to reflect any new provincial and regional policy directions.
Reference: Planning Act, 2018 DC Background Study, Items A03, A06, A07, A08
Schedule: This project would commence in 2023.
