4.0 INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES

4.1 General

>- Durham Region Transit

4.2 Auditor General

>- The Auditor General does not provide comments on reports of this nature.

5.0 ANALYSIS

5.1 Background

>- Litter Management and illegal dumping have been a topic of growing concern for many years. Complaints relating to litter tend to focus on litter at transit stops, school zones, adjacent to private property and litter from take-out restaurants and convenience stores.

>- In December 2004, in response to complaints related to litter at bus stops, Council approved a Litter Management Plan under Oshawa Transit to deal with litter at bus stops and shelters within the City.

>- A review of bus stops was conducted by Oshawa Transit to determine the problematic areas and at the time placed waste receptacles at 69 bus stops. The waste was collected by Oshawa Transit through contracted service once per week.

>- The Litter Management Plan also recommended the installation of waste receptacles at all bus stops with shelters or benches.

>- In 2005, the responsibility for transit was transferred to the Region of Durham and it was assumed at that time the Durham Region Transit Commission (DRT) would continue to be responsible for waste and litter containers at bus stops and shelters within the City.

>- In 2006, DRT reviewed garbage collection at transit stops and concluded that their main responsibility is the "efficient and effective transportation of passengers within Durham Region" and that they will continue to maintain the amenities that were in place when they assumed transit service in 2006 but would not expand the program further. A copy of DRT Report 2006-DRT -24 is appended as Attachment No. 2.

>- Currently DRT maintains and manages waste from 59 locations throughout the City as documented in Attachment No. 3. DRT has retained a contractor that is responsible for emptying the waste receptacles as well as picking up litter in the area immediately surrounding all bus shelters but not along the boulevards. DRT has also indicated that they will not be replacing waste receptacles if they are damaged or stolen.

1~


~ Staff recommends that DRT review their policy and responsibility on waste management at bus stop to reduce litter issues associated with transit customers.

5.2 Litter Management

~ Traditional approaches to remove litter, such as clean-up programs and initiatives can be successful in removing the litter but do little to prevent its recurrence. Effective litter management involves changing attitudes and influencing behavior which are brought about most effectively using a combination of methods such as:

• Education and awareness;

• Consistent and effective enforcement; and

• Strategies that encourage individuals to make different choices.

~ Focused efforts aimed at reducing and eliminating litter will promote a clean City and encourage civic pride, reduce crime and the need for municipal resources to remove litter.

~ The City takes litter very seriously and has put into place a variety of Quality Standards, services and by-laws that work towards managing the amount and prevalence of litter in our community.

~ The city maintains waste receptacles and manages the waste from all City facilities, parks and parking lots, which provides users with a responsible way of disposing of waste. The City also supports Pitch-in Canada and Communities with Brooms that actively engage the community while also raising awareness of the importance of antilittering behavior.

~ Litter is however an issue that extends beyond the borders of our community. As such, there are a number of key players with varying roles and responsibilities in the management of litter as is outlined in Attachment No. 4.

~ Staff reviewed Region of Durham Works Committee Reports pertaining to litter management.

~ In 2003, the Region's Works Department initiated a litter survey to count both large and small pieces of litter in order to compare to other jurisdictions. Litter awareness was then incorporated into the Region's waste management education program as was outlined in Works Committee Report 2004-WR-6.

~ The Region also formed the Durham Municipal Anti-Littering Team that included participants from all local municipalities, including Oshawa, tasked with developing a comprehensive Region wide anti-litter strategy.

~ The Strategy, which included a new information campaign using radio, television, print media, a webpage, and public displays as well as school presentations and posters, was outlined in the Region's 2005 Waste Management Annual Report.

~ Staff are requesting an update from the Region on the progress of the Litter Management Strategy and if necessary revitalization of the strategy.

Report to the Corporate Item: CORP-11-34 Services Committee (Continued) -2- Meeting Date: December 8, 2011

4.2 Auditor General

);;> The Auditor General has no comments.

5.0 ANALYSIS

5.1 Background

);;> At its October 6, 2011 meeting, the Finance and Administration Committee received correspondence FA-11-240 (Attachment 1) from Tammy Maclean requesting that fines be imposed on homeowners who repeatedly fail to maintain their property and boulevard.

);;> Committee directed staff to report on the following:

• The by-laws most commonly impacting the City of Oshawa; and • Potential opportunities to improve enforcement of by-laws.

5.2 Most Common City By-laws Related to Waste and Property Maintenance

);;> Issues related to waste and property maintenance are most commonly addressed through the following by-laws:

• Lot Maintenance By-law 127-2007 • Property Standards By-law 1-2002 • Boulevard By-law 136-2006 • Waste Collection By-law 113-2008 • Nuisance By-law 65-2009

);;> The purpose and relevance of these By-laws is presented in the following section of the report.

5.3 Enforcement Process

);;> Council policy is to act upon complaints with respect to most by-laws, including debris.

);;> The investigating officer makes decisions based on an inspection, discussion with the owner/complainant, assessing whether this is a one-time or chronic problem, and by assessing and applying the provisions of the by-law.

);;> The Lot Maintenance By-law requires the issuance of a notice (posted or mailed) that provides a property owner the opportunity to bring the matter into compliance.

);;> Failure to achieve compliance may result in the City issuing a fine or penalty and entering onto a property to complete remedial work.

17


5.3.1 Pre-2007: Waste and Property Maintenance Enforcement Processes

)» Prior to 2007, MLE officers addressed waste and property maintenance issues under the City's Property Standards By-law.

> The City's Property Standards By-law 1-2002 addresses the following issues.

• Building condition • Standards of residential occupancy • Emergencies involving potential life safety issues • Abandoned/fire-damaged buildings • Larger-scale property condition issues

» Property Standards By-laws are passed under the authority of the Building Code Act (BCA) with the enforcement and appeal processes being defined in the Act. Historically the BCA proved to be an inefficient tool to deal with debris/property maintenance type complaints as it did not allow compliance to be achieved in a timely manner.

)» The Building Code Act does not contemplate or permit ticketing related to Property Standards but instead defers to the much lengthier Information and Summons (Court) process which could take up to a year or longer to be considered by the Courts.

5.3.2 Post-2007: Modernization of Enforcement Processes

> To more effectively manage property maintenance and debris issues, Council has over the last few years approved several new progressive By-laws (see Table 1) and ad?pted an Administrative Monetary Penalty (AMP) regime.

> The more contemporary AMP regime is gradually replacing the historical POA (Provincial Offences Act) ticketing regime which is normally not as efficient or effective.

> The AMP regime is administered by the City, generally has a maximum limit of $500, is coordinated through Screening and Hearing Officers, and decisions of a Hearings

· Officer are final with no opportunity for further appeal to Council or the Court.

)» For repeat offences or more serious offences the City can proceed with POA proceedings involving the issuance of a formal information and summons. In these situations much higher fines, above $500 may be requested.

18


Table 1 Progressive By-laws Addressing Waste and Property Maintenance Issues

By-law POA Part One Set AMP Process I Fine Penalty

Lot Maintenance By-law 127-2007 - Waste - Long grass and weeds $250 No - Abandoned vehicles - Standing Water

Nuisance By-law 65-2009 - · General nuisance regulations

J

regarding littering, maintaining boulevards and vandalism

$300 - Yes I $250

associated with boulevard utility boxes, postal boxes, graffiti, etc.

Boulevard By-law 136-2006 - Debris on boulevards - The maximum height of natural

plant growth on boulevards - Standards related to altering

$200 No

boulevards - Damage to boulevards related to

unlawful parking Waste Collection By-law 113-2008

- General Waste (garbage) Collection standards (what can be put out for collection and No Set Fine1 Yes I $250 regulations regarding when garbage may be placed for collection)

There are no set fines for the Waste By-law. If required, court action is initiated through a Part 3 Information and Summons process or a Superior Court Application. Seffines are under $500.00 and are approved by the Court for ticketing purposes only.

);.> The Lot Maintenance By-law (LMB) was passed in 2007 providing officers with an alternate approach to address debris and property maintenance complaints. Under the LMB, tickets can be issued while still permitting the use of an Information and Summons process for larger and potentially more complicated files.

);.> Almost all debris complaints are now addressed through the LMB because it is an effective and timely process that addresses the needs of the complainant(s) and community in general.

~ In addition to fines and penalties, officers are empowered to act on ORDERS related to debris aild property maintenance issues by initiating clean-up or remedial work to bring a property into compliance. Costs associated with such actions are invoiced, and after 30 days are placed on the tax roll and become a debt owing to the City by the owner.

~ Where circumstances permit, officers first attempt to inform and educate the individual of their by-law contravention. If non-compliance persists, a more assertive enforcement process is pursued.

5.3 MLE Enforcement in the vicinity of South Oshawa

~ The area surrounding the intersection of Wentworth Street West and Cedar Street ("Subject Area") has historically experienced a higher level of waste and property maintenance issues due in part to a greater volume of traffic from the higher-density residential units (apartments and block townhouses) and adjacent commercial areas.

~ Analysis of City records indicate that officers conduct 50% more debris-related inspection activities in the subject area than in other areas of the City.

~ There are at least three main apartment buildings and a townhouse complex in this area which tend to create the greatest number of debris calls in general.

~ Since January 2011, officers have completed 27 waste and property maintenance related files within a 500 metre radius of 280 Wentworth Street. Additionally, va~ious ORDERS have been issued for property maintenance complaints and the City has initiated work when warranted. Fines have been assessed and collected and work related costs recovered where there was no compliance with an ORDER.

> A review of the City's 20 records for call~-for-service initiated by Ms. Maclean in the past year indicate that although there were several infractions addressed through enforcement the majority of cases could not be verified or were resolved by the property owner prior to inspection.

~ Officers assigned to this zone are familiar with the area's property-related issues and continue to work with neighbourhood partners to address them in a proactive and efficient manner.

5.4 Grass Cutting and Litter Dispersal in the Vicinity of the Subject Area

~ In her delegation to Corporate Services Committee, Ms. Maclean also expressed concerns over the City-contracted grass cutting operations which shreds and disperses . litter in the subject area.

~ Grass cutting on City and Regional-owned properties is conducted only by contractors.

Report to the Corporate Item: CORP-11-34 Services Committee (Continued) -6- Meeting Date: December a, 2011

21

)> The specifications for the grass cutting contract require the operator to pick up all litter on the site prior to cutting. This requirement is monitored by staff through inspections and complaints and responded to accordingly by the appropriate contractor. These specifications align with Ms. Maclean's request that litter be picked up prior to grass cutting.

» Staff will review the contract specifications with the contractors at the start of the 2012 grass growing season and monitor appropriately.

5.5 MLE Enforcement Opportunities

)> MLE continues to streamline its enforcement process by expediting the application of the AMP process to a wider range of City by-laws and specifically, tn the Lot Maintenance By-law and the Boulevard By-law.

» Past experience with the AMP process has found that it has been effective and efficient in achieving compliance in a timely manner.

5.6 Conclusion

» MLE staff are aware that the problem locations identified by Ms. Maclean require somewhat more enforcement attention as it relates to waste and property maintenance concerns, than other areas in Oshawa.

>- Accordingly, MLE performs additional proactive patrols and enforcement and continues to work with community partners to address these neighbourhood issues.

>- The Lot Maintenance and Boulevard By-laws will have AMP enforcement and appeal components added in 2012.

>- Staff will advise the contracted grass cutting services on the contract specifications and specifically with concerns over the dispersal of shredded garbage in the neighbourhood at the start of the 2012 grass cutting season.

)> Ms. Maclean should be thanked for her proactive initiatives for managing garbage and debris in the Wentworth/Cedar vicinity.

6.0 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

)> There are no direct financial implications related to this report.

7.0 RESPONSE TO COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN

To Finance and Administration From Tammy MacLean

RE : Property owners and maintenance

In the past 5 years I have had to call City of Oshawa on so many homeowners in regards to there garbage on there property and there boulevard and general upkeep. Every time I have called, I get a case number and I am told that it can take up to 14 days before anyone can even look at the case because they are busy. If it takes this long to even have someone look at the case it tells me that anyone having this same issue will be waiting for some time to have- it addressed.

I proposed last year that the repeat offenders of this issues should only have should only h~ve a 3 strike allowance then the City should clean it up and bill the homeowner the fee on there Property Taxes. This will help the City to clean up the environment of debris and provide an income that can be used somewhere else in the City that is in need ofmoney and/or cleanup projects. The only way people will pay attention to there individual homes to keep it clean is to have some hard laws to make them clean and obey the law as this will hit them in there pockets and maybe they will do as is written as bylaws.

I would like to speak on this. issue October 6th and would like to have the opportunity to address the Council as well.

Sincerely

Tammy MacLean

Report No.: 2006-DRT-24 Page No.2

Region Transit continue with the former Oshawa Transit Commission program of collecting litter at the transit stops identified in 2005 and increasing the provision of garbage cans at additional stops in Oshawa and more garbage containers at more GO Transit stop locations. The City of Oshawa also requested in their correspondence that Durham Region Transit and GO Transit consult with the City of Oshawa on the provision and maintenance of garbage and recycling containers
