It’s in our Nature: Management Plan for the York Regional Forest 2019 to 2038 outlines a vision, achievable through the following three goals and key actions: Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, May 14, 2019 Regional Report Page 5 of 11 1.Strengthen Ecological Integrity Continue to strengthen the health, diversity, resiliency and sustainability of the York Regional Forest 2.Foster an Understanding of the Broader Benefits Demonstrate the Forest provides a wealth of environmental and social benefits, key to the Region’s vision of healthy, thriving communities 3.Inspire People Encourage public use that inspires respect for the Forest and a connection with nature York Region drew from a wide range of expertise and technical advice, and engaged the community through several open houses and surveys to develop the plan. The previous Forest Management Plan from 1998 to 2018 guided the Region through many accomplishments including becoming the first public forest in Canada to achieve Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification in 2000. It is recognized for excellence in forest management, invasive species management, accessible trails and public programs. Vector-Borne disease program annual update The Regional Municipality of York begins its 2019 vector-bore disease program this May to limit the impact of vector-borne diseases including West Nile virus, Lyme disease and Zika virus. Vector-borne diseases are transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected vector, such as a mosquito or tick. Ontario Public Health units manage these diseases in accordance with the Health Protection and Promotion Act and the Ontario Public Health Standards. In 2018, 16 mosquito traps tested positive for West Nile virus and three human cases were reported. Twenty eight blacklegged ticks were found at high risk locations with one tick testing positive for Borellia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease. Residents are reminded about the importance of protecting themselves and their family. Follow these simple tips if heading outdoors: • Wear light-colored clothes and long-sleeved tops to help spot ticks and deter mosquitos Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, May 14, 2019 Regional Report Page 6 of 11 • Clean up standing water around your home where mosquitos like to bread (flower pots, old tires, tin cans, pool covers) • Choose closed toe footwear • Use insect repellent containing DEET • Search your body for ticks, especially through the groin, scalp, back and underarm areas •Remove attached ticks from your body as quickly as possible and report to York Region Public Health 2018 Paramedic Release time performance plan final results York Regional Council received an update on the final results from the 2018 Paramedic Response Time Performance Plan and York Region Paramedic Services are continuing to exceed targets despite a 6.1% increase in demand. Targets for emergency medical response times are legislated by the province and set annually by York Regional Council. The performance plan outlines acceptable response time between when a call is made to 9-1-1 and when paramedics arrive at an emergency. York Region Paramedics exceeded response time targets for sudden cardiac arrests thanks in part to the support from local municipal fire services. Response time for sudden cardiac arrest is measured based on the arrival of any person who can provide defibrillation (CPR or AED). In 2018, York Region Paramedic Services responded to 83,204 incidents, up from 78,407 incidents in 2017. Since 2001, the demand for paramedic services has increased 89% compared to a 64% increase in population over the same period. An aging population and an overall increase in population growth have contributed to the increased demand. Development activity summary 2018 York Regional Council received a report outlining development activities for 2018. Responding to 1,194 applications, development activity reached its highest level in 2018 and overall trends indicate it will remain strong in 2019.

These fees, collected in accordance with Regional Bylaw No. 2010-15, directly support growing our Regional transit system, building roads and maintaining current transportation assets to provide an efficient transportation network. Overview of Bill 68, the Comprehensive Ontario Police Services Act, 2019 presented to Regional Council York Regional Council received an update on Bill 68, the Comprehensive Ontario Police Services Act, 2019 and how it will affect York Region and the York Regional Police Services Board. The goal of Bill 68 is to enhance oversight and improve governance, training and transparency of policing in Ontario. The most significant impact will be in the composition and appointment of members to the Police Services Board and the requirement of a diversity plan governing appointments to the Board. York Regional Council will determine the size of the Board, however, the Province will continue to appoint more than one-third of its membership. The diversity plan will ensure members of the Board are representative of the population of the municipality. Donation of two decommissioned Paramedic Services ambulances for 2019 York Regional Council has approved the donation of two decommissioned ambulances in 2019 to be directed to two medical facilities in Agago County, Uganda and Quito, Ecador. Decommissioned ambulances are those that have reached their maximum lifespan of five years or 250,000 kilometres. Decommissioned ambulances can be donated to registered not-for-profit, community or international humanitarian organizations that offer services similar to those supported by York Region. Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, May 14, 2019 Regional Report Page 8 of 11 Since 2011, Regional Council has approved the donation of 10 decommissioned ambulances. Earlier this month, York Region presented an ambulance to the Caribbean North Charities Foundation. York Region supports amendments to Construction Act Prompt Payment and Mandatory Adjudication provisions York Regional Council endorsed a request by Association of Municipalities of Ontario for amendments to be made to Construction Act Prompt Payment and Mandatory Adjudication provisions, scheduled for implementation on October 1, 2019. As written, prompt payment will require owners to pay a general contractor within 28 days of receipt of invoice. If owners do not agree that goods or services have been provided as described in the invoice, they have 14 days to deliver a notice of non- payment. This will generate an automatic adjudication process overseen by an Authorized Nominating Authority (ANA). Proposed amendments to the Act include: • A minimum of 21 business days for notice of non-payment as thorough review of construction services often requires detailed and large-scale testing • Implementation of Prompt Payment and Mandatory Adjudication be postponed until one-year after the ANA is created • Information about the new rules be created and made available to owners, contractors and subcontractors These proposed amendments will help ensure work done for municipalities will be inspected and certified, there is a sufficient number of trained adjudicators to meet demand and all parties be made aware of their respective obligations. Region recognized for innovation and excellence for public works York Region received two awards from the Ontario Public Works Association for innovative work on transportation and wastewater projects. Public Works Project of Year Award was presented in the transportation category (for projects of $10 million to $50 million) for York Region’s Bayview Avenue road improvements project.
