COMMENTS
The purpose of this report is to provide JCC with financial background information on how the pilot
Cost Recovery Program performed (2020 and 2021 year to date). The services listed below were
included in the pilot project:
• Motor Vehicle Collisions (municipal and regional roads)
• Fire Prevention Related Services (i.e. Fire Reports)
• Burning Complaints
• False Alarms
• Natural Gas Leaks
• Hydro Incidents (down wires)
• Grow Ops and Clandestine Labs

• Post Fire Investigations
• Extraordinary Expenses
• Hazardous Material Response
BACKGROUND
In 2019 CYFS presented JCC with Fire Services Report 2019-03 Motor Vehicle Collision (MVC)
Cost Recovery Program. One of the recommendations included in this report requested JCC to
authorize a 24 month pilot, to cost recover for services rendered at motor vehicle incidents on
municipal and regional roadways. Fire Services Report 2019-03 was approved by both Aurora
and Newmarket councils.
On January 1, 2020, CYFS initiated invoicing the MVC Cost Recovery Program which was
administered by a permanent part-time employee (21 hours - FTE 0.6).
At the September 2020 JCC meeting, CYFS presented JCC with Fire Services Report 2020-03
Cost Recovery Program (Expansion). The Fire Report recommended the expansion of the Cost
Recovery Program to include several additional services for the balance of the trial. The Cost
Recovery Pilot Program is scheduled to end December 31, 2021. The expansion services were
approved by both municipal councils. Effective October 1, 2020, CYFS started the expansion of
the cost recovery program. In addition, the recommendation to move the Accounts Administrator
position from 21 hours (FTE 0.6) to 28 hours (FTE 0.8) per week was approved.

At year end of 2021, the Accounts Administrator will have completed two years of service with
CYFS and has become very competent and proficient in their role. In addition, this employee
has developed relationships with other emergency services and government agencies:
• Ministry of Transportation
• Enbridge Gas
• York Regional Police
• Clerks Department
• Customer Service
• Finance Department
CYFS is recommending that the Accounts Administrator position be moved to a permanent full-
time position which is an increase from 28 hours (FTE 0.8) to 35 hours (FTE 1.0) for the
following reasons:
1. During the pilot, it was noted that there was duplication of efforts by CYFS and the Finance
Department. Through many conversations between the Manager of Finance and the
Deputy Chief of Operations (CYFS) it was agreed that the accounts receivable portion of
the Cost Recovery Program would be better administrated by the CYFS Accounts
Administrator.
2. Within this fire report, CYFS has recommended to bring on two additional services into the
Cost Recovery Program:
Elevator Rescue
Smoke and CO Alarms
This will add additional responsibility to the position.
3. Due to the renewal of the Fire Protection Agreement with Whitchurch-Stouffville as of
May 2021, CYFS has assumed all financial responsibilities for cost recovering on the
Highway 404 corridor. The Accounts Administrator has taken on the additional workload
of processing claims with the Ministry of Transportation.
4. With the anticipation of the opening of CYFS Fire Headquarters 4-5 in 2022, additional
administration duties will be required by the Accounts Administrator to support the
Administration Division.

The table below will illustrate the financial impact of the recommendation.
CONCLUSION
In an effort to meet industry standards and assist to offset future operating costs, CYFS
recommends implementing the Cost Recovery Program on a permanent basis effective January
1, 2022. In addition, CYFS would like to introduce two services to be part of the Cost Recovery
Program. The two services below were discussed at a previous JCC meeting and it was decided
to hold off to allow softer introduction of services to be considered as cost recovery. Upon JCC,
Aurora and Newmarket Council approvals, CYFS would like to introduce the two additional
services to the Cost Recovery Program:
• Elevator Rescue Incidents
• Smoke and CO Alarms
.
