DELIGATIONS
Robert Ryan — 20 Mosaics Avenue
Mr. Ryan addressed the Board and indicated the installation of all -way stop sign control at
the plaza's west entrances/exits has helped considerably. However, Mr Ryan indicated
there is still a geometry problem where Mosaics Avenue meets the private drive when
approaching the west exit. This results in commercial traffic mixing with residential traffic
and overall confusion as to who has the right-of-way. During the winter months the issue of
snow plowing makes the situation worse. Mr. Ryan submitted a copy of his April 16, 2004
letter sent to the Mayor outlining his concerns.
Mr. Ryan also indicated Mosaics Avenue consists of 84 units and there is only one two-way
access to Mosaics Avenue via Murray Drive and one one-way exit towards Yonge Street. Mr
Ryan is concerned the problem will only increase as the No Frills site is now proposing to
expand.
Mr. Ryan also has concerns with the right -in, right -out intersection as it is constantly used as
a full movement intersection. Mr. Ryan would like to see the west entrance to the Winners
plaza closed resulting in an access only to Mosaics Avenue. Also Mr. Ryan believes the
right -in, right -out splitter island should be removed and converted back to a full movement
intersection. Finally, anew all movement access should be created on Murray Drive forthe
south plaza directly parallel to the front of the Winners store.

PURPOSE:
The purpose of this report is to investigate the "OneYork Concept" that was presented to the
General Committee on February 14, 2005. This report provides Council with a recommendation
on the role of the Town in the start-up activities of OneYork, the steps the Town should take in
support of this initiative and the recommended focus for the start-up period.
BACKGROUND:
At its meeting on December 2, 2004, the Region of York e-Government Sub -Committee
discussed ways and means of investigating the creation of a dedicated community technology
infrastructure, in the Region, for the MUSH sector. The MUSH sector includes municipalities,
utilities, school boards and hospitals.
The Region of York e-Government Sub -Committee passed the following recommendations that
were subsequentlyadopted by York Regional Council at its meeting on January 20`f', 2005.
"The e-Government Sub Committee recommends as follows-
1. The presentation from Regional Councillor Jim Jones on a MUSH (municipalities,
universities, school boards, hospitals) Public Sector Telecommunications Utility
"OneYork" be received;
2. The presentation from Lev Gonick, Ph.D., Vice -President for Information Technology
Services and CIO, Case Western Reserve University on "One
North-East Ohio" be received;
3. A Task Force be formed to make the vision of a 21s` Century high-speed broadband
network (OneYork) for the MUSH sector a reality.
4. The e-Government Sub -Committee work with other MUSH sector agencies to move this
initiative forward.
5. The Region and other MUSH sector agencies explore joint opportunities in applications,
hardware; resources and facilities.
6. The Region and other MUSH sector,agencies coordinate our individual network activities
to avoid long term commitments that keep us from participating in the OneYork high-
speed broadband network.
7. The Region and other MUSH sector agencies look at both non-profit, public sector -
owned utility and public -private partnership options.
8. The Region and other MUSH sector agencies explore funding and joint opportunities
with the provincial and federal levels.
9. The Region and other MUSH sector agencies explore the opportunity of engaging an
integration design team based on the One Cleveland/North-East Ohio model.
10. The Region and other MUSH sector agencies explore donation of fiber, equipment and
design by potential partners.

COUNCIL — APRIL 26, 2005
REPORT TO General Committee 2005-Apr-04
Page 3 -
11. The Region and other MUSH sector agencies prepare and issue an RFQ for an Integrator
who can design, implement and manage the OneYork Vision."
On February 10, Regional Councillor Jones made a presentation to the General Committee of
the Town of Markham on the OneYork Fibre Community Infrastructure and the following
resolution was carved:
"Regional Councillor Jim Jones distributed an information package and gave a
presentation on an initiative for an ultra high-speed broadband infrastructure of
networking services and applications which would improve the way services are provided
within the Region of York. He advised that this would be a fibre -based network that
would transmit data thousands of times faster than traditional broadband, and improve
services throughout participating municipalities, universities, schools and hospitals.
Moved by Deputy Mayor F. Scarpitti
Seconded by Councillor A. Chiu
That staff be authorized to provide an evaluation of the One York Concept, for an ultra
high-speed broadband infrastructure of networking services, and report back to the
General Committee as soon as possible."
On Mardi 16`h, the Region of York 6-Government,Sub-.Committee. approved the following
recommendations:
1. Regional Council direct staff to participate on the OneYork Board and Task Force.
2, The Region contribute financially to OneYork conditional on participation of the other
proposed MUSH sector partners.
3. The emphasis of the mandate of OneYork be on a MUSH sector Community Technology
Infrastructure.
4. The CAO or his designate be directed to report back on a proposed governance structure.
5. Regional Council, through the e-Government sub -Committee receive quarterly updates
from the OneYork Board, once implemented...
6. The Region offer to reimburse the Town of Markham for the full cost of the data
collection project to be undertaken by Pacomm Consulting Inc., to a maximum of
$25,000 plus G.S.T.;
7. The report be circulated to local municipalities, the three al hospiboards, the two school
boards, Seneca College, York University, Police Services Board as well as the CIO of the
Province of Ontario and the CIO of the Federal Government of Canada.
These recommendations will be going to York Regional Council on March 31 for approval.
DISCUSSION:
A OneYork Community Technology Infrastructure has the potential to provide significant
benefits to the Town. The Community Technology Infrastructure (CTI) or as it is also commonly
referred to as Information Communications Technology (ICT) includes a number of elements
that will continue to evolve in support of OneYork's business environment. The elements that
currently dominate the infrastructure include servers, storage devices, clients, operating systems,
—26—
COUNCIL — APRIL 26, 2005
REPORT TO General Committee
2006—Apr-04
- Page 4 -
middleware, connectivity, comprehensive database structure, portals, messaging and
collaboration. Joint opportunities to share applications, resources and facilities with other MUSH
sector participants are seen as a way to lower the Town's current operating costs in the future. A
shared, community technology infrastructure, at affordable rates, positions the Town to rapidly
build e-Govemment services. and capabilities that will be of benefit to citizens. In addition,
OneYork could be an economic development "spring -board" for the development of new .
technology, from the MUSH sector, that will attract new investment and new employment to the
Town.
Based on experiences elsewhere, including OneCleveland, it will take time and effort to fully
implement the complete OneYork vision. During the implementation stage of OneYork, it is
essential to have the MUSH sector partners evolve to a common strategic enterprise architecture,
based on open standards, while maintaining their ability to operate their current information
technology systems without precluding effective participation in OneYork as it evolves.
It is recommended that the Town participate in the Task Force that is proposed by the Region of
York e-Govemment Sub -Committee. The Town's participation should be both at the Board
level, to help form the structure and governance of a OneYork entity as well as providing
technical representation to participate in the implementation of a community technology
infrastructure and in exploring opportunities to move to shared applications that are of interest to
the Town.
The participation of MUSH sector partners in the formation of OneYork is critical to the success
of this endeavour. The establishment of the Interim OneYork Board is the first milestone which
must be achieved to move on to the next steps. To help crystallize the feasibility and costs of the
OneYork initiative, it is recommended that the Town support the issuance of the OneYork RFI
for a Business Architect and Systems integrator approved by the OneYork Board once it is
officially formed. ,
The role of the Town is seen as a leader, but not the sole implementer. Staff recommend that
Council provide initial funding to OneYorkin accordance with a formula that will see the Town's
contribution as one of many partners. The Town's financial contribution should be determined
following the "Discovery Step" which is to take place over the next 2-3 months. The Discovery
Step will entail a data collection including but not limited to existing inventories of voice/data
hardware, services, applications, I.T. resources and future requirements. Opportunities to .
supplement any support from. the OneYork partners with participation from the provincial and
federal levels should be pursued.
It will be necessary to establish a steering committee with representatives of the MUSH sector
partners to recommend a governance structure and a cost allocation methodology.
The emphasis of OneYork should initially be on designing and implementing a community
technology infrastructure foundation (a broadband network). This emphasis should include both
options of planning, implementation and operation of a MUSH sector community technology
infrastructure (ownership option), as well as the option of securing discounted pricing for
community technology infrastructure services from existing providers for all MUSH partners
—27—
COUNCIL — APRIL 26, 2005
REPORT TO General Committee 2005—Apr-04
Page 5 -
(lease option). Once implemented successfully the Town could collaborate with other OneYork
partners on common applications, processing centres of expertise and shared resources.
IgNANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Staff recommend that funding be provided from the 2005 ITS Capital Budget Account #49-
5350-6764-005 for the OneYork initiative up to $25,000.
ACCESSIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS:
OneYork has the potential to improve online access to services all of the MUSH sector within
York Region. This would have a very positive impact for all citizens in Markham and York
Region that require any of these new services that would be moved online. Having all these
services centralized from one portal should make it much easier for them to be accessed in a
timely manner. There will also be a better opportunity to improve the accessibility features of
the OneYork Portal, considering the resources that would be available.

1. Governance
The group discussed governance options for OneYork including how it should be
structured. There was discussion on the following items:
• Variable classes of members, including founders (equity) and purchasers of
service.
m :Different tiers of membership 'depending on the financial resources of the
members
® Initial investment required by all organizations
• Founding members having an equal voice on the Board
• Ensuring equitable services throughout the Region (leaving no community
behind)
• Forming a Steering Committee that could eventually morph into the Board
• Membership on the Steering Committee
• Political involvement in this process
—29—
COUNC] L — APR I L 26, 2005
2. Steps required to move forward
• There was consensus that all wanted to be part of this initiative, but there was
concern on the scope and how to get there. The discussion then focused on
what steps should be taken to move forward with this initiative.
• There was agreement that a Steering Committee should be formed and that
each member of this Committee must contribute money or services -in -kind to.
undertake a discovery phase of data collection.
• Research should take place to see if there are any grants or other sources of
funding that could be used for this initiative.
3. Facilitator
The group agreed that a facilitator should be engaged to assist the group through this
discovery phase required to assess the feasibility and determine the scope of
OneYork. This facilitator will ensure that the objectives of the group are well defined
and the group remains focused on those objectives. The key objectives for this
facilitator will be to compile an inventory of items such as:
• current costs spent on telecommunication
• dark fibre owned by public utilities in the Region
•: all facilities that will need to be connected, including location (GIS map)
•. all current and future connectivity needs
• software used by all potential members
• all data being maintained, including GIS
• hardware, including servers, PBX, etc
• projects current and future, including short description
• . all IT positions, including titles and job descriptions

Consulting Proposal
ONE YORK — PROJECT SUPPORT DATA
1. Our Understanding of the Obiectives
The One York not -for -profit corporation (to be formed) intends to issue a RFI for an Enterprise
Business Architecture and System Integrator Partner. At this point, the Town of Markham is
acting as the municipal "anchor" while the One York organization is being formed. One York
per The Town of Markham (Client) is seeking a proposal from Pacomm..Consulting Inc.
(Consultant) to aggregate data on the current ICT (information and communications
'technology) infrastructure and expenditures incurred by the potential members of One York.
The vision of One York has been captured in the current draft of the RFI. This vision describes
the state that One York intends to achieve over time. The current draft does not have data on
the existing ICT and the objective of the consulting project is to gather the relevant data and
provide it in a form suitable for the RFI, to assist bidders to better understand how to position
their responses to the RFI.
There are two categories of data that are required. One is inventory data.on the current
infrastructure. The second is data on the current "spend" by the potential One York members
and constraints on this spend; e.g., term contracts. In addition to providing information to the
bidders, this data will also serve as input to support the One York project such as.a business
case for One York or its components.
The Client has requested Pacomm Consulting Inc. to provide a proposal for the collection,
collation, analysis and summarization of infrastructure and cost -related data from a number of
organizations that are specified below. This Statement of Work constitutes the Proposal.
2. Background
The data to be collected will have two distinct, yet related interest groups — the bidders of the
One York RFI and the One York organization itself (in the early stage The Town of Markham).
Bidders will want to understand what is in place and to be replaced. One York will want to
understand both what is in place (inventory) and what is the current "spend" by the potential
One York members. With access to this data,.One York can assess expected reductions in the.
spend under different solution assumptions; e.g., an estimate of net savings with a ICT
infrastructure as compared to the current arrangements with carriers and other vendors.
The data can be stratified into:
• connectivity services (e.g., T1s, DSL, frame relay, etc.),
• telecom'services (e.g., Internet access, Centrex, maintenance contracts, etc.),
• IT infrastructure (e.g., routers, switches, servers, SANs, desk tops, network
management systems, etc.),
• IT services (e.g., help desk, integrator, support contracts)
• Applications — in-house and remote
• Staffing and support costs

Consulting Proposal .
Within these categories there is the inventory layer and the costs (part of the spend) to
consider.
3. Scope and Methodology
The scope of the work covered by this Statement of Work is described by the following tasks:
a) Develop the Data Collection Plan
A data collection plan designed to collect the appropriate inventory and cost data to be able to
respond to the following questions will be developed:
• What is in place now— the inventory?
• What is current spend against this inventory?
• What are the commitments against this spend (e.g., contracts)
• What is the identified short term and longer term need for increased
capacity/capabilities (functionality)?
• What portion can be replaced via various solution options (e.g., an ICT infrastructure,
or consolidation of servers and applications)?
• What portion will remain in place?
• What are the One York support requirements?
This data collection -plan will form the basis for the design of data collection templates, the
design of a master data Excel spreadsheet and the methodology of collecting the data.
b) Prepare Data Collection Templates
Data collection templates will used as the principal vehicle for collecting the target data. They
will be designed with the objective of ensuring to the degree practicable that the data provided
is consistent amongst the sources. Another objective is to be able to have the data collection
templates self-administered where appropriate; i.e., to have the organizations complete the
templates themselves with little guidance from the Consultant.
Different organizations will require different data collection templates. School boards, hospitals
and universities will need in -person interviews with interview templates.
Data collection templates will be designed such that data can. be transferred to a master data
Excel spreadsheet.
Note that for initial budget reasons for this Statement of Work, the work is being prioritized to
focus attention on obtaining data on the infrastructure, primarily the connectivity and telecom
services.

c) Data Collection
Data will be collected via both a self-administered and an interview process. The list of
organizations to be approached to provide data is as follows:
Table 1. Category of Potential One York Organizations

•
York Catholic District School Board
•
City of Vaughan
•
York Region Transit
*includes Library Boards and Fire Departments
Agreement will be reached with the Client on the specific organizations to be included.
Self -Administered Data Collection
A common data collection template will be used to collect the target data from the organizations
in this. category. We will prepare instructions for completing the templates and look to One
York to send the requests to these organizations to complete the forms and to monitor the
collection of the completed forms. We will be available to answer questions regarding the
templates. We will collate the results.
We propose to "trial' the data collection template with one organization (selected by One York)
to assess its completeness and effectiveness in obtaining the targeted data. Based on the
findings of this trial the template will be amended as appropriate prior to forwarding it to the
remaining organizations in this category.
Interviews
We expect that the ICT situation is quite different amongst the organizations in this category.
This will require a more specific method to collect reliable data relevant to a future One York
operation. In -person and perhaps telephone interviews will be used as the vehicle to collect the
target information. We will prepare interview templates to structure the interviews. We expect
that meetings with several people in these organizations will be required. We will look to One
York to obtain commitment from senior management in these organizations to cooperate in the
data collection. We will then schedule the interviews/meetings with the objective of one
meeting with each of the organizations with email/fax follow-up as necessary to collect data.

One York
Consulting Proposal
The meetings will provide a good opportunity to further sell the One York vision. We will
prepare a PowerPoint presentation with input from One York with the objective to educate the
organizations on One York and to sell the value proposition for them to participate and to
provide data at this discovery stage.
d) Data Collation and Summaries
Data that is collected will be collated into Excel spreadsheets in a manner that will enable
spreadsheet analysis of the data. We expect that there will be data common to most of the
organizations and data somewhat unique to certain of the operations. An objective for this task
is to organize the data such that data deemed appropriate to include in the RFIIRFP can easily
be copied into appendices of the RFI/RFP documents. The Excel spreadsheets will constitute
the "inventory'.
4. Deliverables
The deliverables for this project will comprise:
a. Data collection template,(s)
b. Instructions for completing the data collection templates (self-administered)
c. PowerPoint presentation for meetings with the "Interviews" organizations
d. $ummary of in
e. Completed Excel spreadsheet(s) with collated and summarized data (as well as the'
base data.)
f. Brief summary report identifying shortfalls in the collected data and suggested next
steps.
g. Counsel to One York on any matter related to the collection of ICT data relevant to the
One York project.
5. Associates
The Consultant will use the services of associates, in particular Robert Hollands, on this
assignment. Associates will work under the direction of the Consultant as a sub -contractor to
the Consultant. Robert Pachal will provide the services for the Client.
