Mike Campbell – Bruce Peninsula Biosphere Association
Re: Cabot Head Road Repair Proposal
Bruce Peninsula Biosphere Association representative Mike Campbell appeared before Council in person to provide an update on the Cabot Head Road Repair Project to Council.
Council was informed that the Bruce Peninsula Biosphere Association has conducted meetings with CAO, Peggy Van Mierlo- West, and the Municipal Solicitor to discuss plans regarding the continuation of the Cabot Head Road Repair Project. Mr. Campbell further stated that the Municipal Act allows the Municipality to restrict access to the road unless permission is granted by the Municipality to organizations and charities requiring access to the area.
It was noted that a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will be sent to various organizations and charities regarding future use of the road.
Mr. Campbell informed Council that the Bruce Peninsula Biosphere Association had conducted meetings with the Ontario Trillium Foundation regarding the timeline associated with the grant received to repair the road and not a path. Council was informed that the Ontario Trillium Foundation has permitted the Bruce Peninsula Biosphere Association to proceed with the repair of the road and that the timelines previously specified no longer apply to the grant money.
The Bruce Peninsula Biosphere Association is requesting that the Municipality sign a work permit order for the Cabot Head Road Construction – Phase 1.
Council was informed that following protocol associated with the work permit, stakeholders and property owners affected by the project would be notified of the proposed work and be able to provide comment to the Municipality.
Clarification was provided by Mike Campbell regarding the current state of the road. Mr. Campbell informed Council that approximately four (4) areas of the road are damaged. Councillor Mielhausen questioned the areas of damage, Mr. Campbell indicated that 500 meters of the road is damaged and an additional 100 meters has been washed out. He further stated that significant run off continues to erode the road, making vehicle access difficult.
Council was informed that the funding obtained by the Bruce Peninsula Biosphere Association would be sufficient for repairing three of the four areas of the road in need of maintenance. The fourth area would require sufficient road repair.
Discussion ensued regarding the longevity of the road once maintenance indicated within the Bruce Peninsula Biosphere Association’s project proposal is completed. Mr. Campbell informed Council that long term decisions regarding the road will be included within the second phase of the Cabot Head Road Construction project.
Discussion ensued regarding the potential transfer of ownership from property owners to the Municipality if the long-term maintenance of the road is assigned to the Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula. Council was informed by Mr. Campbell that meetings with the Municipal Solicitor concluded that if the use of the road does not change, the Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula retains the right to maintain and use the road. He further stated that a request in 2020 to repair Cabot Head Road under an emergency repair would be applicable to the work proposed within the Bruce Peninsula Biosphere’s Cabot Head Road Construction- Phase 1.
Discussion ensued regarding the Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula’s legal claim of the road leading to Cabot Head Lighthouse. It was noted that Phase 2 of the Cabot Head Road Construction Project intends to have government involvement due to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans possessing ownership of Cabot Head Lighthouse and other federal or provincial landowners.
It was noted that Agenda Item #13: Chief Administrative Officer Report No. 22-07, asks for Council’s direction regarding Cabot Head Road Construction – Phase 1.
Mayor McIver thanked Mike Campbell for his delegation.
Consideration of Agenda Items
1. Fire Chief Report No. FC 22-03
Re: By-law to Regulate the Sale, Possession, Use, Setting off, Ignition, and/or Discharge of Fireworks within Northern Bruce Peninsula
Discussion ensued regarding the 60 day permit requirement currently contained within By-law 2022-21 concerning both family and display fireworks. It was noted that the Fire Chief has the delegated authority regarding the approval of all firework permits within the Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula.
Council directed Fire Chief, Jack Burt, to amend the by-law to reflect a 30-day permit submission requirement prior to the ignition of both family and display fireworks, as well to allow the Fire Chief to approve all firework permits within the Municipality instead of requiring Council approval.
It was noted that the five-million-dollar insurance requirement contained within By-law 2022-21 solely applies to the ignition of display fireworks, not family fireworks.
Clarification was provided by Fire Chief, Jack Burt, regarding the fine schedule fee associated with By-law 2022-21. He further stated that the fine fees are standard for most municipalities in Ontario.
It was noted that public outreach programs and notices across multimedia platforms must be conducted to ensure that the public is made aware of the alterations to the regulations regarding the sale, possession, use, setting off, ignition, and/or discharge of fireworks within Northern Bruce Peninsula.
Fire Chief, Jack Burt, informed Council that although the by-law contained a set fine schedule associated with the utilization of fireworks, that the issuing of fines would be applied at the discretion of the By-law Enforcement Officer. He further stated that the first year after By-law 2022-21 is passed will be comprised of more education programs than enforcement fines regarding the sale, possession, use, setting off, ignition, and/or discharge of fireworks within Northern Bruce Peninsula.
Fire Chief, Jack Burt, informed Council that he has been in contact with several of the organizations who routinely conduct firework displays within the Municipality. He further stated that once the by-law is passed, he plans to work with the organizations to ensure the continuation of display fireworks within the Municipality.
It was noted that several suppliers have already purchased their inventory of fireworks for the 2022 season. Fire Chief, Jack Burt, reiterated to Council that the first year of by-law implementation would focus on education as opposed to enforcement.
