MEMO TO COUNCIL
Town of Grand Valley Veterans - Cross and Flag Placement
Following a presentation by Mr. Ken Wallace in 2005 the Town of Grand Valley purchased
Crosses of Remembrance to be placed at the grave site of veterans who had served and have
passed away. Through this endeavor approximately 76 crosses have been placed at the grave
sites located in this municipality.
The crosses have all been used and if the town wishes to continue with the placement, we need to
order more. I am already aware of veterans in this area who have not passed away who served
and I have 6 new grave sites located that require a cross (highlighted yellow). The previous
orders were placed by Mr. Wallace and he delivered them to the office. Mr. 'Wallace passed
away this past January 2,2015 in his 93'd year so we will have to place our own order.
The crosses have been ordered from Keith Mullen Foundry in Nova Scotia and I have contacted
their offrce and the costing would be $ 19.50 each plus shipping by Canada Post. Úr the past we
have ordered our flags from The Original Flag Store in Barrie and I contacted their office and the
costing is $ 2.50 per flag plus HST and shipping.
ordered 12 crosses in 2006 and I am suggesting that we order the same amount again if
Council is in approval at a cost of $ 234.00 plus shipping. This is the same cost per cross as in
2006.
Vy'e
We ordered 100 flags in 2012 and I am suggesting that we order 150 this time if Council is in
approval. I have been checking the flags each year prior to the Annual Memorial Service at
Grand Valley Union Cemetery and prior to Remembrance Day. Last fall at the cemetery I ran
out of flags and just removed deteriorated flag with no replacement. This costing would be
S 423.75 including HST plus shipping. The costing of the flags is the same asin2012 as we get
a reduced rate for veterans arranged by Mr. Wallace.
I have attached a copy of Mr. Wallace's obituary and the Veteran's List that has been compiled
to date.

We are pleased to present to you this lnvestment Grade Audit of your streetlight network
We have concluded our detailed analysis of your street lighting system, which built upon our initial
proposal by adding LiDAR-based GIS/GPS mapping to our findings, and we have been able to revise the
annual energy consumption and savings estimates for the Town of Grand Valley to reflect the proposed
upgrade to LED. Your street lighting network is currently consuming 97,840 kWh. By upgrading to LEDs,
your projected annual energy consumption will fall substantially to 33,15ó kwh resulting in ó4,ó84 kWh
energy savings, equivalent to 66"/" reduced consumptton.
We are also pleased to inform you that the municipality's project cost has been revised downward,
reflecting a lowering of the prices of the LED fixtures supplied by CREE and reduced quantity in fixtures
to be replaced based on the GIS/GPS Audit. The final project cost of $67,692 includes an allowance for
50% rewirin g, 1007" refusing and a 27" arm replacement.
We lookforward to moving the projectto the next phase. We will arrange for a conference callto discuss
the contents of this report in the next few days, but until then please feel free to contact us should you
have any questions.
Yours truly,
Sean Neely,

From this database, we were able to assess the exact state of the Town's streetlight inventory to enable
us
to clearly define the
current street light inventory and energy demand, which we use
to accurately
estimate the energy savings obtained from the conversion of Grand Valley's current street lights to
LEDs.

The reduced demand after the implementation of the LED street lìght upgrade will directly impact the
annual energy consumption, measured in kWh. Our findings show that the demand will be reduced by 14.7
kW. This will result in energy savings 66"/" over the current consumption, equivalent
to 97,840 kWh annually.

TOWÍ\T.)F GRAND VALLEI INVESTMFNI CRADE AUDIT IV]ARC¡ 2015
RealTerm Energy's technical evaluation team reviewed
the GPS information we received
and
formulated a hybrid approach to completing roadway designs for The Town of Grand Valley. After
evaluating the configuration of each light fixture for road classification, pole spacing, mounting
height, arm length and curb setback, we were able to conclude that Grand Valley can achieve the
same or better light levels than those of its current incumbent street lights. The lighting design as
suggested for the most part meets RP-B lighting levels. (RP-B is a recommended, though not required
practice for roadway illumination)
Those portions of the Town's lights points that do not meet RP-B could be for a number of reasons,
including:
.
.
.
lnadequate,Pole Spacing (poles are spaced too far apart),
lnsufficient Mounting Height, or
Mìssing Light Fixtures
We concluded that in order to fully comply with RP-B guidelines, the high costs of the required pole
additions, replacements, rewiring and retrenching would render the project uneconomical.
Our analysis concludes that in all instances where RP-8 cou[d not be achieved with a new LED fixture,
this was also the case for the currently installed fixture. ln those instances, photometric design has
been utilized to select an LED luminaire in which the wattage and distribution pattern combine to
meet or exceed the lighting levels of the currently installed fixtures.
Based upon the replacement luminaires detailed in the following pages, we anticipate that the impact
on the Town's annual energy consumption will be as follows:

LDC LOAD PROFILES
Based on the most recent 12 month street light energy consumption and demand figures provided
by Orangeville Hydro and Hydro One, we were able to assess the annual load profiles used by the
utilities to charge the Township of Grand Valley for its street lights. The load profiles differ, as
illustrated in the two figures below, according to the method of calculating the individual demand
loads.

Utilities charge for two types of fees: fixed and variable. The fixed fees will remain the same before and
after the upgrade because the rate is charged per connection, while the variable components of the bill
vary depending on the consumption, also known as
'demand'. Higher fixed fees as a percentage of the
total mean less dollar savings due to a change in demand.
ln the case of Orangeville Hydro, the fixed fees currently represent 16% of Grand Valley's street light
energy bill whereas in the case of Hydro One, the fixed fees represent close to 1%. Since Hydro One has
very little fixed fees, the savings in percentage will be greater in the HO inventory, increasing the Town's
shared split of savings.

We have examined the maintenance costs for the past full 5 years (as provided by the town). The
average is $11,109 per annum, which equates to roughly a cost per fixture of $78. We conservatively
estimate that ongoing LED maintenance will equate to B0% savings over current HPS expenditures, or
approximately $2,222. This average amount is used to calculate the proportionate share to be split by the
municipality and RealTerm Energy if an Energy Performance Contract option is selected.
Streetlight maintenance required during the 10 year Energy Performance Contract will be undertaken by
RealTerm Energy, which will reduce the actual expenses incurred by the municipality to zero for streetlight
maintenance.

The following illustrates two options which are available to the municipality to finance its LED upgrade.
First is our Design, Upgrade and Transfer option, where it is assumed thatthe Municipality itself arranges
the financing for the project. Typically, this would be from a source like lnfrastructure Ontario, w¡th its
low-cost interest rates. For our Design, Upgrade & Transfer option, the Town would finance the project
on its own while for the Energy Performance Contract RealTerm Energy would fund 100% of the costs,
operate the system for 10 years and share the energy and maintenance savings with the municipality on
a pre-determined basis.

We have implemented a designed solution of selected LED luminaires that conform to
RP-8
guidelines for the majority of the applications.
'
This combination of LED luminaires will result in energy consumption savings of 64,726kWh
per year over the incumbent HPS fixtures, which is equivalenlta 667a energy savings.
lf the Town of Grand Valley chooses
to move forward with the Design, Upgrade and Transfer
option, the total project cost will be
ß67
,692 which includes 27o arm replacement, 50% of re-
wiring and re-fusing of all fixtures. The Town should expect a payback period of 3.18 years
with an IESO rebate of $12,964.
lf the Town of Grand Valley elects to proceed with an Energy Performance Contract, we
propose that the portion of the combined energy and maintenance savings accruing to the
municipality be 26Y", with RealTerm Energy receiving the remainder of the savings over the
10 year term of the Energy Services Agreement. The share
to the Town of Grand Valley
would result in $4,931 savings for the first yeaç escalating over the term for inflation.

RE:
Employment Land
Thomasfield Homes has purchased the former Collini land at Highway 109. The 95 acre parcel
has only 15 acres that are in the urban boundary and that are designated as employment land.
It is our desire to bring employers to Grand Valley so that Grand Valley can become a complete
community. However, we can't do this on our own without Grand Valley's support and action.
The following steps need to be addressed and undertaken before we can proceed.
1)
2l
The 15 acres that are in the urban boundary and designated employment is too small to
make this project economically viable and to attract a sizeable user. We ask Grand
Valley to take action to bring more land into the urban boundary. The attached sketch
is a.preliminary concept of what could be a viable employment park.
Grand Valley needs to have a plan on how the properties south of the sewage treatment
plant can be serviced. A new pumping station will be required to service the Moco
Lands and the employment lands- A servicing study needs to be completed to
determine the location, size, and depth of the pumping station. Grand Valley also needs
to determine an equitable cost sharing agreement among the benefìting parties.
I respectfully ask council to please undertake these two items so that a vision of creating an
employment area and broadening the tax base can occur.
Sincerely,
Tom Krizsan

RE:
Grand River Spillway
For the last three years we have been working with the Ministry of Natural Resources and GRCA
regardingthe potentialspillway and re-habitation of the Gravel Pit. After several meet¡ngs, the
MNR wishes to now abdicate responsibility for these lands as the approval authority, and place
the approval of the potential spillway and re-habilitation in the hands of Grand Valley and
GRCA.
We have spent tens of thousands of dollars already on detailed engineering drawings and
grading plans for both the spillway and the gravel pit. These plans are engineered in such a
waç that the spillway would be graded and engineered during our re-habilitation program but
not hooked up to the Grand River at this time until GRCA gives its approvals for the connection
to the river and the town secures the required easements.
We are requestíng at this time for councilto ask Burnside and GRCA to review our engineering
drawings and to ask for them to provide the necessary letters of approval so that we may start
work on the spillway and re-habilitation. I thank you and members of council for your
consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Tom Krizsan

Dear LDC and Transmitter CEO's
We are undergoing a transformative period in Ontario's energy system. Through Demand
Response, the incorporation of smart,grids and energy storage solutions, powerful monitoring
and automation tools, as well as innovative conservation, the way we meet Ontario's energy
needs is changing.
To manage in this evolving environment planning is essential at various levels and involving
many perspectives. At the regional level, planning for reliable and cost effective electrical
service is conducted under the Ontario Energy Board's Regional Planning Process, which
includes the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO)'s Integrated Regional Resource
Planning (IRRP) process. Under the IRRP process, local distributors and transmitters as well as
municipalities, Aboriginal communities, stakeholders and members of the general public are
increasingly involved in developing integrated energy planning solutions which link
provincial and local planning to maintain a reliable supply of electricity. Ensuring communities
are engaged in the energy planning dialogue is integral to the viability and success of longterm energy solutions.
I am pleased to announce a significant milestone in this planning process. Through the
continued efforts of the regional planning Working Groups, comprised of the IESO local
distribution companies (LDCs) and transmitters, the IESO has posted seven completed IRRPs,.
The plans identify the near-term and medium-to-long-term electricity supply needs of the areas
and assess options that are available to address the needs in a timely, reliable and cost-effective
manner.
Completing these regional plans has required a considerable amount of work and
collaboratiory and we appreciate the significant efforts of the LDCs and transmitters in
supporting the IRRP process in these areas:

Webinars will be held for each of the seven IRRPs to raise awareness about the plan and
recommendations, and provide participants with an opportunity to ask questions and find out
about further engagement. In some areas, Local Advisory Committees (LACs) will be formed
to represent communities and provide input to the Working Group on medium and long-term
options identified within the plan.
There are five additional sub-regional plans being developed where the need for this work was
identified as part of the scoping process for the plans above. Sub-regional plans underway are:

Additional work will be commencing shortly on two sub-regional IRRPs in the South Georgian
BayA4uskoka regiory and the London Area region is currently going through the scoping
process to determine the regional planning requirements. Current analysis has indicated that
no regionally co-ordinated planning is required for the East Lake Superior, Sudbury/Algoma,
and Peterborough to Kingston regions. Regional specific webpages, including information
about each region and any applicable integrated regional resource planning information will be
posted in the coming months. We look forward to continuing to work with the LDCs and
transmitter in these areas to develop integrated plans.

HOW TO APPRECIATE BILL 8
Two new Hamilton city councillors are taking the Ombudsman's
recommendations seriously.
ln his recent report, he did not find the city in contravention of the Municipal Act, but
he did suggest that all closed meetings be recorded. Hamilton rejected the practice
in 2013, but according to news reports, councillors Doug Conley and Matthew Green
have put the idea back on the table.

rrMinor Rate Increasett
Orangeville Hydro Limited was recently approved for a minor rate increase by the
Ontario Energy Board. The new rates come into effect May 1 ,2015.
ln 2014 Orangeville Hydro Limited was able to provide our customers with a
10o/o
decrease
in the distribution portion of the bill. A slight overall rate increase of 1.360/o has been
approved for 2015.
The average residential customer using 800 kWh will see a $0.36 or 1.4o/o increase on a
portion of their monthly bill. Small commercial and small businesses using 2,000 kWh will
see a $0.61 increase relating to 1 .15%, and larger commercial, institutional and larger
businesses/manufacturing using 190 kW will see a $7.38 increase relating to 1.35o/o.
The increases relate only to Orangeville Hydro's distribution services. They make up part of
the Delivery line - one of the five line items on the bill. This application does not impact the
other four lines on the bill; for example, the "Electricity" line, which is the cost of the
electricity itself. These other four line items may rise or fall because of factors that are not
considered in this hearing.

Picnic in the Parks in Headwaters
For many of us, summer approaching means spending time outdoors with family and friends.
Sunshine and warm weather encourages us to get out and explore together. Visiting nature often
soothes us and offers a welcome break from our hectic schedules. ln fact, research shows that
spending time in nature can reduce feelings of stress and improve overall health.
Heading to the lake or a local park with picnic basket in hand is one of the most relaxing ways to enjoy
a beautiful summer day. Your local conservation area is a great backdrop for your next picnic.
Whether you are planning a quiet day with the family, a larger gathering, or a special event,
conservation areas have many options.
Each of our parks at Credit Valley Conservation offers a new experience. Enjoy the lake and serenity
at lsland Lake Conservation Arq, the trails and wetland at Terra Cotta Gonservation Area, or the
waterfall at Belfountain Gonservation Area.
With the whole day in front of you, why rush? Enjoy the views, the sounds and the company. Pavilion
reservations are available.

PRESS RELEASE
- FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION
May 7th,2ol5
The Town of Grand Valley takes the "bull by the horns" in addressing its future economic
and social development!
Rural Community Economic Decline and how Grand Valley is tackling this problem.
Rural communities all face some form of economic decline. This is how the Town of Grand Valley is
tackling this problem.
Rural communities and villages are struggling to entice business, engage their communities and drive
growth; or at least sustain what they have all the while maintaining the values and landscapes that drove
them to live there. Grand Valley is no different but their approach is. Through sponsorship by Town
Council, the Economic Development Committee (EDC) is hosting two Town Hall meetings on May 28th
at 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. in the community centre. The purpose is to engage, and ask the community at
large, for their assistance in shaping the future. With grass roots participation we will be able to solidify a
sustainable strategic economic plan for Grand Valley.
fr
the winter of 2014 the EDC began the joumey of building a plan for economic and social development.
Community surveys, town hall meetings, and 13 social group meetings later the EDC has concluded its
research. The next step is to present and discuss the framework for a multiyear strategic plan. It is now
time for the community to shape the plan into a set of actions that will transform our community.
We hope to see you at our town hall meeting on May 28th
Check out our Facebook Page

place to live and play.
