Regarding Regional Official Plan Amendment 34 (Related to 13.2 and 16.4)

  • Resolution Number2020-185
    Received

Councillor Damerla arrived at 9:42 a.m.
Councillor Medeiros arrived at 9:42 a.m.
Councillor Kovac arrived at 9:46 a.m.

Rob Harrison, Director, Valleywood Resident Association (VRA), noted that the letter listed as Item 16.4 from the Ministry of the Solicitor General advising that the Region of Peel is compliant with the requirements of the Office of the Fire Marshall and Emergency Management, does not address the concerns of the VRA with roads within Valleywood and its surrounding area in the Town of Caledon with respect to the lack of emergency lanes and the impact of the road structure on emergency response times. He stated that it would be premature to approve Regional Official Plan Amendment (ROPA) 34, as the VRA has not yet had an opportunity to meet with the Mayor of Caledon regarding its concerns.

The Acting Commissioner of Corporate Services advised that the letter listed as Item 16.4 relates to the 15 pillars of Emergency Management and not emergency response times.

Councillor Downey advised that the Valleywood egress was addressed through the Fire Master Plan that was presented to Caledon Council on March 10, 2020.

Councillor Groves noted that some questions regarding Valleywood were not answered at the March 10, 2020 Caledon Council meeting.

    Carried

Stephanie Nagel, Treasurer and Director, Corporate Finance, provided an overview of the proposed Development Charge Interest Rate Policy that aims to protect the Region of Peel’s financial interests, support development of affordable housing and provide predictability in the implementation of Bills 108 and 138 that have made significant changes to the Development Charges (DC) Act, 1997.  The proposed policy includes a DC Freeze interest rate of 5.5 per cent per annum and DC Deferral Interest rate of zero per cent per annum.  Region of Peel staff will collaborate with local municipal staff to implement the policy.

Councillor Parrish advised that staff from the City of Mississauga do not support a zero per cent per annum DC deferral interest rate and she requested that the report listed as item 8.2 on the agenda be deferred for further discussion between staff at the Region of Peel and local municipalities.

  • Resolution Number2020-189
    Received

Sandra Solonik, Advisor, Community Engagement, Chine Nkado, Manager, Business Intelligence and Kevin Farrugia, Advisor, Digital and Information Services provided an overview and demonstration of the Neighbourhood Information Tool (NIT); a common data and mapping tool that can support evidence-informed decision making about the specific types of resources and investments required in different communities across the Region of Peel. Staff from the Region of Peel, local municipalities, community agencies and stakeholders can use the NIT to inform priorities, planning, services and grant applications. Training on the NIT for Regional and local municipal Councillors and staff to support the use of the NIT will be available in Spring 2020 and staff will continue to explore opportunities for integration of various regional data maps/tools.

Councillor Saito stated that it would be beneficial if the NIT used updated data, rather than 2016 Census data to assist in the planning of community hubs and the allocation of municipal resources.  

Councillor Santos suggested that consideration be given to integrating transit hubs and health centres as an indicator for community wellbeing and quality of life.

The Commissioner of Human Services noted that staff are looking at a number of regional mapping tools to see if there are opportunities for integration.

8.1
Update on Novel Coronavirus
 

(Oral)
Presentation by Dr. Jessica Hopkins, Medical Officer of Health

  • Resolution Number2020-186
    Received

Dr. Jessica Hopkins, Medical Officer of Health, provided an update on the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), including its global and local status, what is known about the virus and pandemic and transition planning. She noted that cases continue to rise around the world and that there have been four positive cases of COVID-19 in the Region of Peel. Dr. Hopkins explained that community spread means a person contracted COVID-19 in Canada without international travel in the last 14 days to an area with COVID-19 activity or came into contact with someone who had COVID-19. There is no evidence of community spread in the Region of Peel.

The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic and Peel Public Health and the local health system have been actively planning for a pandemic. Pandemic planning has three phases: containment; mitigation and response; and, recovery.  The current phase is the containment phase which involves containing and eliminating the spread of the virus as much as possible. 

Several steps have been taken to ensure Peel Public Health has a sustainable plan in place to support the COVID-19 response, including the reallocation of staff members to support the emergency response which will temporarily impact some public-facing services.

Dr. Hopkins advised that Dr. Lawrence Loh will take over as Acting Medical Officer of Health for the Region of Peel effective March 16, 2020. She thanked the Board of Health for the opportunity to serve as Medical Officer of Health and assured Regional Council of the continued service by a skilled public health team and committed leadership team.

Nancy Polsinelli, Interim Chief Administrative Officer, advised that the Region of Peel activated the Regional Emergency Operations Centre (REOC) effective March 10, 2020 to prepare for potential impacts should COVID-19 become more widespread. This step allows staff to coordinate work and focus on the response to COVID-19. Some staff will move from their day-to-day roles to provide operational support to the Region, based on their experience and abilities.

In response to a question from Councillor Santos, the Acting Commissioner of Health Services advised that the Chief of Peel Paramedic Services is working with staff on a regular basis to ensure Paramedics have the required equipment and up to date information regarding COVID-19.

Councillor Santos requested that Chief Dundas provide an update to Regional Council at its next meeting.

In response to a question from Councillor Crombie, the Medical Officer of Health stated that staff will post updates to the Region of Peel website and will not be providing separate updates to Councillors.

Councillor Crombie requested that updates be posted to the website early in the day.

Councillor Saito advised that she would be placing a motion, under Other Business, to permit Council meetings to be conducted electronically should enough members have to be self-isolated.

Members of Regional Council thanked Dr. Hopkins for her thoroughness and knowledge, and commended her for her service to the Region of Peel and wished her well in her future endeavors.
