LTCR-CM-16-26 Grey Gables and Rockwood Terrace -
Long Term Planning
Niall Lobley, Deputy CAO, welcomed the individuals in attendance from Colliers Project
Leaders. He provided an overview of the work completed to date in relation to the
Rockwood Terrace Redevelopment and referred to the existing operational Rockwood
Terrace building. He noted that County staff have been working with Colliers Project
Leaders who had been retained to provide project management services and examine
1
development/redevelopment options at the existing Grey Gables and Rockwood
Terrace locations. Specifically, existing Rockwood Terrace options include conversion
options, selling or leasing and existing Grey Gables options include building 62 new
beds or building 128 new beds as an addition to the existing home. At this stage, no
decision is required and staff indicated that consultation and communications with the
Ministry of Long Term Care is ongoing.
It was indicated that the Ministry had recently announced a Renovation Program for
Long Term Care Homes, that would help upgrade older homes so they meet current or
adapted design standards. As this information was only recently made available, staff
noted that further information would need to be gathered to determine what this could
look like for Grey County.
Andrew Rodrigues from Colliers Project Leaders and Phil Goodfellow from G Architects
provided an overview of the presentation. They explained that the existing Rockwood
Terrace building had been assessed and several potential redevelopment scenarios
had been identified for consideration. The objective of the review was to determine what
would be required to renovate the existing home to meet Class A standards. This would
include a comprehensive review of building systems, as well as interior and exterior
upgrades. The presentation materials were referenced, outlining each proposed layout,
related specifications, and the estimated construction costs associated with each
scenario. Cost comparisons and estimates between the scenarios were also included.
The estimates included the anticipated construction costs, as well as additional
allowances for design contingencies, construction contingencies, and related project
requirements. Alongside County staff, it was noted that a pro forma analysis had been
prepared to support the financial review of the redevelopment options and to assist in
understanding the potential impacts of each scenario.
Mr. Rodrigues advised that, in light of the Province’s recent announcement,
consideration of renovations to an adapted standard could be an option. Based on the
information currently understood, the potential funding amount would be approximately
half of what may otherwise be required, and the funding term would be shorter.
In response to questions from the Committee, staff advised that comparisons had been
reviewed between current operations and the service model planned for the new
Rockwood Terrace. Staff emphasized the importance of considering resident needs.
Staff also noted that active planning is underway for recruitment strategies related to the
new Rockwood Terrace and indicated that there has been a positive trend in
recruitment. In response to further questions, it was advised that assisted living and
memory care have been identified as areas of greatest need within the community,
often described as the “missing middle” between independent living and long-term care.
Staff noted that completion Rockwood Terrace Redevelopment will also help inform
next steps, including future discussions.

The Council enacted By-Law 5296-26 to authorize an application to Ontario Infrastructure and Lands Corporation for financing capital works totaling up to $4,418,400 through long-term debentures.
The by-law authorizes Council officers to execute agreements for issuing debentures that will fund capital works, specifically directing proceeds toward designated infrastructure projects rather than other purposes. The legislation further grants authority to convey lands forming part of the CP Rail Trail and establish a donation agreement with the Township of Southgate.
Grey Council enacted By-law 5297-26 to authorize Warden Andrea Matrosovs and Clerk Tara Warder to execute documents transferring specific lands in Township of Southgate for an Eco Parkway extension, while granting a watermain easement along the CP Rail Trail. The County donates portions of land (Parts 6 and 22) to Southgate as public highway land subject to retained easements, with Southgate offering Two Dollars plus HST for the Property and Watermain Easement.
Southgate Parties receive permission to enter Property and Watermain Easement Lands for inspections, surveys, or tests required by Southgate while agreeing to defend the County against liability. Prior consultation with the County is mandatory five business days before any construction activities that would interfere with Rail Trail use to allow appropriate notices. The transaction proceeds on an As Is Where Is basis where the County makes no representations regarding zoning, defects, hazardous substances like asbestos or PCBs, and assumes no responsibility for remediation.
Southgate assumes full responsibility for all construction and maintenance costs of the Works, while agreeing to surrender its rights to the Watermain Easement if construction is not completed within five years.
The agreement stipulates that covenants involving post-closing performance survive the Closing Date, with specific articles surviving in their entirety. Notices between Southgate and the County must be sent to designated addresses at Dundalk or Owen Sound, deemed received based on delivery method such as personal handover or registered mail. Disputes regarding interpretation will undergo good faith negotiation followed by arbitration within Grey County if mediation fails. The document interprets gender inclusively, governs under Ontario law, and requires any waiver of provisions to be in writing signed by authorized representatives.
The Transferor grants a permanent easement for utility installation and recreational trail access across specific lands in Township of Southgate, while requiring restoration to former states after work is completed.
Southgate agrees to surrender rights and restore lands within two years if it abandons the Works, while remaining responsible for all damage caused by its agents. The agreement further requires Southgate to indemnify the Grantor against any loss or injury arising from the Easement or accidents related to the presence of the Works on the Servient Lands.
The agreement establishes that notices are deemed received based on specific delivery methods, such as personal delivery or registered mail timelines. The County retains the right to inspect and test the property but must indemnify Southgate for any liabilities arising from these activities. Both parties agree that all costs related to obtaining necessary permits fall solely on the County while the transaction proceeds on an 'As Is' basis with no warranties provided by Southgate regarding zoning or contaminants.
The agreement establishes a nominal purchase price of two dollars and sets closing sixty days after option exercise, while the County assumes all liability for contaminants on the property. Southgate warrants it is an Ontario municipal corporation in good standing with no asbestos insulation present. The seller must provide vacant possession, discharge existing mortgages at its own cost, and deliver specific documents including a declaration that ownership has not been challenged.
The agreement stipulates that Southgate pays Canadian taxes for non-residency liabilities and adjusts real property tax assessments to the Closing Date, while the County assumes all risks and environmental responsibilities from that date. The parties agree on title examination rights prior to closing, Planning Act compliance requirements, HST registration evidence, and electronic document processing through TERS with specific escrow rules. Financial obligations include Land Transfer Tax payment by the County versus legal costs borne individually by each party.
Council enacted By-law 5298-26 to authorize an amending agreement extending a Memorandum of Understanding with ROMP until August 31, 2028. The amendment directs County staff to provide lawn maintenance at the medical residence and requires the City to supply garbage bag tags for the premises.
The County enacts a program to control coyotes or wolves damaging property within its geographic area, requiring licensed hunters or trappers to obtain written authorization from the Clerk of the County and consent from landowners before acting as agents.
The Warden and proper officers are authorized to execute documents necessary for the by-law.

CERTAIN CAPITAL WORK(S) OF THE CORPORATION OF
THE COUNTY OF GREY (THE “MUNICIPALITY”); AND TO
AUTHORIZE LONG-TERM BORROWING FOR SUCH
CAPITAL WORK(S) THROUGH THE ISSUE OF
DEBENTURES TO OILC
WHEREAS the Municipal Act, 2001 (Ontario), as amended, (the “Act”)
provides that a municipal power shall be exercised by by-law unless the municipality is
specifically authorized to do otherwise;
AND WHEREAS subsection 401 (1) of the Act provides that a municipality
may incur a debt for municipal purposes, whether by borrowing money or in any other
way, and may issue debentures and prescribed financial instruments and enter
prescribed financial agreements for or in relation to the debt;
AND WHEREAS subsection 408 (1) of the Act also provides that a
municipality shall authorize long-term borrowing by the issue of debentures or through
another municipality under section 403 or 404 of the Act;
AND WHEREAS subsection 408 (3) of the Act provides that the term of a
debt of a municipality or any debenture or other financial instrument for long-term
borrowing issued for it shall not extend beyond the lifetime of the capital work for which
the debt was incurred and shall not exceed 40 years;
AND WHEREAS clause 408 (4)(a) of the Act provides that a debenture by-
law shall provide for raising in each year as part of the general upper-tier levy or the
general municipality levy the amounts of principal and interest payable in each year under
the by-law to the extent that the amounts have not been provided for by other taxes or by
fees or charges imposed on persons or property by a by-law of any municipality and
clauses 408 (4) (b) and (c) provide that a debenture by-law shall include provisions that
contemplate the payment of principal and interest in each year. Subsection 408 (5) of the
Act further provides that the total amount of principal and interest that must be raised in
a year under clause 408 (4)(a) of the Act does not include any outstanding amount of
principal specified as payable on the maturity date of a debenture if one or more
refinancing debentures are issued by the municipality on or before the maturity date in
respect of the outstanding principal;
AND WHEREAS OILC has invited Ontario municipalities wishing to obtain
debt financing in order to meet capital expenditures incurred or to be incurred in
connection with eligible capital works, to make an application to OILC for such financing
by completing and submitting an application in the form provided by OILC (the
“Application”);
AND WHEREAS the Council of the Municipality has passed the by-law(s)
enumerated in column (1) of Schedule “A” attached hereto and forming part of this By-
law (‘Schedule “A”’) authorizing the capital work(s) described in column (2) of Schedule
“A” (the “Capital Work(s)”) in the respective amount of the estimated expenditure set out
in column (3) of Schedule “A” (the “Estimated Expenditure”) and authorizing long-term
borrowing pursuant to the issuance of debentures for the Capital Work(s) in a principal

AND WHEREAS before the Council of the Municipality approved the Capital
Work(s) in accordance with section 4 of Ontario Regulation 403/02 (the “Regulation”),
the Council of the Municipality had its Treasurer calculate an updated limit in respect of
its then most recent annual debt and financial obligation limit received from the Ministry
of Municipal Affairs and Housing (as so updated, the “Updated Limit”), and the Treasurer
calculated the estimated annual amount payable in respect of the Capital Work(s) based
on long-term financing for such Capital Work(s) in an amount that did not exceed the
respective Maximum Debenture Amount for the Capital Work(s), and determined that the
estimated annual amount payable in respect of each respective Maximum Debenture
Amount, did not cause the Municipality to exceed the Updated Limit, and accordingly the
approval of the Ontario Land Tribunal, pursuant to the Regulation, was not required
before any such Capital Work(s) was authorized by the Council of the Municipality;
AND WHEREAS the Municipality has completed and submitted, or is in the
process of completing and submitting, the Application to request financing for the Capital
Work(s) by way of long-term borrowing through the issue of debentures to OILC;
