Assessment of the Woodland Pet Cemetery in 2016, revealed 385 grave sites. Early in 2018, volunteers and museum staff started working on removing debris from the site. A contractor was hired to begin restoring a small section of the cemetery which revealed a further 117 headstones. By the end of the summer more than 500 headstones were uncovered and a large area was still awaiting restoration. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION/CAPITAL SERVICE LEVEL IMPACT:Provide the reasons the project should be approved and what will be the impact of the project to service levels. A new trail is proposed along one side of the cemetery, offering visitors an opportunity to explore this historic asset. Due to the many hazards on the site, this currently is not feasible. The cemetery is located on hilly, uneven terrain. Trees have fallen on the site displacing graves and making access difficult. In addition, a thick coat of Japanese Spurge covers a large portion of the site and is obstructing many headstones, making navigation of the site dangerous. Staff also noted that a couple of headstones and other decorative elements that adorned individual graves had been removed. PROJECT BENEFITS:Explain the benefits of the project which could include Citizen/Client, compliance, financial, internal, learning & growth or utility benefits. Happy Woodland Pet Cemetery is believed to be the first of its kind in Canada and is gathering information to submit an application to be designated a National Historic Site. There is a broad range of interest from both within and outside of the community. Once restored, the site could be leveraged as an asset to promote tourism. IMPACT TO THE ORGANIZATION IF THE PROJECT WAS NOT APPROVED:Please provide an explanation of what the outcomes would be if the project was not approved. The physical deterioration of the site is a liability for the Town. Interest surrounding the site and the encroaching housing development will only result in more people accessing the site. The site is covered with downed trees and ground cover obscuring the stones and increasing the likelihood of an accident.

Screening of surplus soil that has accumulated on the Municipal property attached to the community garden site on Industrial Parkway South. Key goals include refining a large quantity of mixed soil that is currently unusable which once screened will result in a high quality useable soil product that can be utilized in the operations department for both parks and roads related projects.

Performance measures include significant efficiencies in utilizing a large quantity of soil that would otherwise be PROJECT JUSTIFICATION/CAPITAL SERVICE LEVEL IMPACT:Provide the reasons the project should be approved and what will be the impact of the project to service levels. For the past 10 years staff have utilized an unused parcel of open space adjacent to the Community Gardens for the storage of surplus soil and a number of other organic materials such as waste garden plants, tree branches etc. This site provided a close and convenient location to store these materials, however these surplus materials have reached the site limitations and need to be removed. Once removed the site will no longer receive these materials. T here is a need to clean up this property and cease using the site for storage related needs. As the material has been left at the site for a considerable period of time, much of it has decomposed to a useable soil product which will be readily available for use. This will result in a cost saving of approximately $15,000 that PROJECT BENEFITS:Explain the benefits of the project which could include Citizen/Client, compliance, financial, internal, learning & growth or utility benefits. Benefits of the project include converting an unusable product into a high quality usable product that will be fully utilized in both the Parks and Roads operation. In addition, the costs associated with removing this material in its current state will significantly out weigh the costs of screening the material and keeping the material for operational purposes. IMPACT TO THE ORGANIZATION IF THE PROJECT WAS NOT APPROVED:Please provide an explanation of what the outcomes would be if the project was not approved. Should the project not be approved, this un-useable material will continue to occupy the property and serve no useful purpose. At some point this material must be removed so that the land can be properly restored and better utilized by the Operational Services department.

This project involves labeling the entire inventory of street light poles with an identification number key goal is to complete a street light pole and fixture identification system to align with current municipal standards Objectives include standardization in the the maintenance of street lights and to enable matching of street light locations to the current GIS street light inventory database performance measures include improved efficiency and accuracy in communicating street light outages to the street light maintenance contractor. Improved customer service in resident's being able to include PROJECT JUSTIFICATION/CAPITAL SERVICE LEVEL IMPACT:Provide the reasons the project should be approved and what will be the impact of the project to service levels. Identifying street light poles is a standard business practise in many similar sized municipalities with a large inventory of street light poles and fixtures. With our current inventory of over 4,000 street lights, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to identify specific lights that require replacement without a proper identification number being displayed on the actual street light pole. This has led to multiple visits by both staff and contractors to investigate reported street light outages described in a general area as opposed to a specific street light. This is an inefficient and often confusing practise as it is difficult to describe a street light location without an individual identification number. Numbering these poles will significantly improve delivery of street light maintenance PROJECT BENEFITS:Explain the benefits of the project which could include Citizen/Client, compliance, financial, internal, learning & growth or utility benefits. With the vast number of street lights, the Town encourages residents to report street light outages as it is not possible for staff to view each and every street light on a daily or weekly basis. Numbering all street light poles will assist staff and residents in being able to report the specific pole where the light is out by its identification number and in turn staff can direct the street light repair contractor to the specific pole. This will result in IMPACT TO THE ORGANIZATION IF THE PROJECT WAS NOT APPROVED:Please provide an explanation of what the outcomes would be if the project was not approved. Continue to repair street lights based on reported outages that do not include specific information.
