MATTERS ARISING
6.1 Request for Decision prepared October 5, 2022 – Infrastructure & Operations – J-Class
Road Proposed Evaluation Matrix.
Matthew Blair, Director of Infrastructure & Operations was present to review the Request for
Decision prepared October 5, 2022 regarding Class Road Proposed Evaluation Matrix.
The Director reviewed the existing criteria (Access & Use, Street Classification, Road Condition,
and Executive) and proposed additional criteria (Business, Municipal Infrastructure Upgrades,
Community Services, and School Bus Route) included in the material, expanding on the
Executive criteria which would be Council’s decision to make, and new criteria suggested.
The length of roads was discussed, and it was suggested that some of the longer roads be split
into sections so that any section that is in worse condition can be repaired without the entire
road being considered. It was also suggested that each district’s roads be listed separately
and ranked for the Councillor for the district. It was noted that there are some roads that
would be used by many more people than those living on the road, i.e., businesses, rinks, etc.
Also discussed was the fact that the NS Department of Public Works rarely chooses one longer
road, so it was felt that they are only considering sections/kms of road.
It was felt that the road condition should have a higher weight and different potential
scenarios were reviewed with regard to the weighting proposed.
Committee of the Whole (continued) October 20, 2022 420
Staff were directed to amend the weighting of condition to 40% and combine Community
Service and Businesses together (for 10%).
It was indicated that this will come back to the November 17th Committee of the Whole
meeting and then the top roads can be chosen to forward to the NS Department of Public
Works for consideration.
It was suggested, for clarity, to have only those J Class Roads listed that could be repaved for
this program; J Class Roads that are gravel are not eligible for paving.
The Director of Public Works and Certified Engineering Technologist left the meeting room.
6.2 Fire Advisory Committee – Options for discussion.
Bruce Blackwood, Fire Services Coordinator was present to review the presentation “Fire &
Emergency Services” as follows:
Establishing an FAC.
MOC Council – Role in Fire Services.
Background.
Discussions from P66 Review.
Current situation. It was noted that the committee had been established in 1996.
Roles and Responsibilities – Options Reviewed.
Membership.
Structure.
Motions and Voting.
Meetings and Schedules.
There was discussion on what the Commissions and Departments would like to see
implemented and what Council would also like to see. It was agreed that input by both
commissions and departments was required and thought that might mean the chiefs attend
the meeting in an advisory capacity, similar to other organizations such as the NS Federation
of Municipalities. However, some felt that departments (chiefs) would wish to have the same
right to weigh in on matters. It was felt if the chief were in attendance with the commissioner,
they could sort it out themselves.
Committee of the Whole (continued) October 20, 2022 421
The matter of a chair was also discussed, and it was agreed that the Chair be a one-year term
so that all would have an opportunity to chair the meetings. It was also agreed that Council
members on the committee would not require voting privileges.
Staff was directed to include the amendments from discussion this morning to provide to the
Fire Services with a draft. If they have any concerns, they can be brought to Council.
The Deputy CAO indicated that once it is ready for Council it would go to First Reading and
Second Reading following the procedure in place for By-Laws.
A break was held from 9:55 a.m. to 10:14 a.m.
6.3 Request for Decision prepared September 14, 2022 – Infrastructure & Operations and
Financial and Information Services - ArcGIS ESRI Upgrade for Asset Management.
Matthew Blair, Director of Infrastructure & Operations, and Fred Whynot, Director of Public
Works were present to review the Request for Decision prepared September 14, 2022
regarding the ArcGIS ESRI Upgrade for Asset Management.
The need for the add-on was outlined and the benefits to asset management, providing
changes/updates on site, and uploading the information. The technology has been around for
20+ years, is the industry standard, is reliable, and convenient. It was also noted that future
federal funding will be tied to the strength of asset management programs.
2020-419 MOVED by Councillor Wells, SECONDED by Deputy Warden Shatford that the
Committee of the Whole recommend to Council to approve an addition to the
currently 2022/23 budget of $18,000 + HST for the purchase of the ESRI Workforce
Starter Solution (WSS) add-on app, an unbudgeted expenditure to be funded via
the General Reserve. ALL IN FAVOUR. MOTION CARRIED.
6.4 Request for Direction prepared October 7, 2022 – Infrastructure & Operations – Parade
Square Gazebo Lighting.
a. Correspondence dated October 17, 2022 from Nancy Murray regarding lighting at the
bandstand.
Matthew Blair, Director of Infrastructure and Operations was present to review the Request for
Direction prepared October 7, 2022 regarding Parade Square Gazebo Lighting.
Committee of the Whole (continued) October 20, 2022 422
The Director outlined the short-term and long-term options as well as the information
received from The Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) which
establishes standards and illuminating guidelines which suggest the current lighting is
approximately twice the recommended luminescence.
There was discussion regarding various options (turning off lights, replacing the system,
separating the lights to two switches) as well as the lighting already in place in that general
area. It was suggested that all lights six could be on when there was an event and that half be
turned off if there was no event. Security and safety were also considered as well as a
potential lighting policy for municipal structures (not streetlights). It was suggested that
lighting could be included in the Village Plan Review.
2022-420 MOVED by Councillor Wells, SECONDED by Councillor Church that the Committee
of the Whole recommend to Council to reduce the lighting at the Gazebo (Parade
Square) by having lights turn off at 8:00 p.m. (unless there is a need to have
lighting for an event), remove the setting to come on in the morning, and look for
opportunities to update the lighting system when it applies. ALL IN FAVOUR.
MOTION CARRIED.
6.5 Request for Decision prepared October 11, 2022 – Infrastructure & Operations - Snow &
Ice Control Contracts (Roads and Sidewalks).
Fred Whynot, Director of Public Works was present noting that only one bid from each area
was received from the contractors who provided the service previously.

of the Whole recommend to Council to award the following contracts for snow and

REQUEST FOR DIRECTION
REPORT TO: COW
MEETING DATE: Nov. 17, 2022
DEPARTMENT: Corporate & Strategic Management
SUBJECT: South Shore Tourism Cooperative Funding
ORIGIN: SSTC Request for Funding
Date: Nov. 1, 2022 Prepared by: Olivia Corkum, Community Economic Development Officer
Date: Nov. 2, 2022 Reviewed by: Erin Lowe, Senior Economic Development Officer
Date: November 4, 2022 Authorized by: Dan McDougall, CAO
RECOMMENDED MOTION/ACTION
Approve South Shore Tourism Cooperative’s (SSTC) ask for $4,221.66 as a line item in 2022/23 budget and direct
staff to incorporate future funding requests from SSTC into the annual economic development budget.
CURRENT SITUATION
On Sept. 15, 2022, SSTC board members, Peter Cullen and Joanne Cooper, gave a presentation requesting
Council to approve their ask of $4,221.66 to support operational funding of SSTC as a line item in MOC’s
2022/23 budget. After the presentation, Council requested a report from economic development staff and
requests were also made for a list of other regional funding partners (see Table 2: Regional Funding Partners)
and the organization’s annual budget (See Table 3: Budget for SSTC 2021/2022) to be provided by SSTC.
This Request for Direction was intentionally delayed, dovetailing with the line-item budgetary presentation
conducted by MOC’s Director of Community Development and Recreation.
BACKGROUND
SSTC has asked for operational funding via budgetary line item from the Municipality of Chester in previous
years; however, it was never paid as such. The presentation by SSTC noted they would not ask for additional
funds from Council (i.e., event sponsorships) if council approved annual line-item funding. Historical funding of
SSTC from the Municipality of Chester is outlined in Table 1:
Table 1: MOC funding of SSTC – Historical

2015/16 $4,678 Tourism Grant
R e q u e s t f o r D i r e c t i o n P a g e | 2
As of Oct. 24, 2022, all below-noted municipal units have paid their invoices as a line item for 2021/22. The
funding amounts are outlined in Table 2:
Table 2: Regional Funding Partners
Region Monetary Contributions Capacity
Municipality of Barrington $1,060.75 Board Advisor
Municipality of Shelburne $1,060.75 Board Advisor
Municipality of the District of
Lunenburg
$5,703.30 Board Advisor
Town of Bridgewater $2,463.30 Board Advisor
Region of Queens $2,964.80 Board Advisor
Town of Lunenburg $100 Standard membership
Mahone Bay Tourism & Chamber
of Commerce
$100 Standard membership
These respective amounts are calculated using the former REN formula, which takes 20 per cent equal
distribution of costs, 40 per cent population and 40 per cent uniform assessment to calculate what should be
contributed by each regional funding partner. The addition of these numbers, plus contributions from smaller
regions equal the Municipal/Town Partnership outlined in Table 3.

DISCUSSION
The recommendation for supporting the budgeted line-item in the amount requested stems from the
opportunities SSTC provides MOC.
Pros:
- SSTC has membership from industry, non-profits, and other governmental organizations across the
region.
- Regional collaboration is a requirement for many federal and provincial grant applications.
- Fits into our promotion strategy. SSTC markets the South Shore and Municipality of Chester within
NS and the wider Atlantic region. We partner with TNS to market MOC outside of Atlantic Canada.
R e q u e s t f o r D i r e c t i o n P a g e | 3
- More than marketing. SSTC is currently facilitating a labour force survey with a grassroots lens to
empower employers to tap into underutilized demographics (ex: persons with disabilities).
- Events listings to be sent directly to Executive Director to update – saving staff significant time.
Cons:
- Inability to quantifiably measure direct impact on MOC as the efforts are regionally based. To
mitigate this, Staff could request that an annual report on how funds were disbursed be required
from SSTC.
OPTIONS
1. Not pay the required $4,221.66 as a line item and terminate Municipality of Chester’s involvement with
the SSTC.
a. Lose opportunity to collaborate regionally and with industry, non-profits, and other
governmental organizations
b. Potentially more money and staff time to be spent to market within the region to fill gap in
marketing provided by SSTC
c. Inability to have a say in how grant funds are allocated
d. No access to labour force survey results and subsequent training tools provided to employers
2. Stay on as a SSTC member only and have no say in how monies are spent.
a. Attendance not permitted at board meetings; therefore, no direct say in how monies are spent
b. Marketing gap would need to be rectified with additional monies and staff resources
c. Ability to have collaboration with industry, albeit to a lesser degree
3. Approve South Shore Tourism Cooperative (SSTC) to receive $4,221.66 as a line item in 2022/23 budget
a. Ability to have MOC marketed locally and across the province with a say in execution
b. Opportunity to collaborate with industry, non-profits, and other municipal counterparts
c. Access to labour force study and resources
d. Opportunity to benefit from grant monies SSTC accesses

RECOMMENDED MOTION/ACTION
For discussion and direction.
CURRENT SITUATION
Staff have prepared proposed signage locations for the community welcome signs and are looking for council
direction on these proposed locations.
BACKGROUND
At the May 21, 2021, Council meeting, Staff were directed to prepare a report on the costs for adding welcome
signs at the entrance of the Municipality in Martins River, New Ross, and Hubbards. In addition, at the July 15,
2021, Council meeting, Council discussed a request from a resident to consider adding Mi’kmaw community
names to municipal signage. Staff were directed to research which community name signs or welcome signs
were owned by the Municipality.
Corporate & Strategic Management prepared an Information Memo for the August 16, 2021, Council meeting
which outlined the signs that were owned by the Municipality and their associated costs for Councils
consideration. Potential sign locations were also discussed, with the conclusion to have welcome signs at all
entrances to the Municipality. Staff were directed to come back to Council with information on costs and
locations for these signs. At this meeting, Council also determined that the signage should be metal and
approximately the same size as the sign near the Chester Home Hardware location.
DISCUSSION
Staff have identified the proposed signage locations at all entrances to the Municipality highlighted on the map
in Attachment 1. Proposed locations have been selected based on the municipal border. These locations have
not yet been visited by Staff.
Staff have confirmed that the sign purchase, printing and installation will all be done by Nova Scotia Department
of Public Works (NSDPW). Signage (metal sheets, printing and posts) will cost between $2,200 and $2,500 each.
For six signs this could cost up to $15,000. Labour and installation costs are still unknown at this time and would
R e q u e s t f o r D i r e c t i o n P a g e | 2
be in addition to the estimated $15,000. Staff are waiting for NSDPW to provide an estimate on the labour and
installation costs. The signs will be sheeted aluminum and 8ft by 5ft in size.
Sign Design:
Staff have engaged with Skysail Brand Marketing based out of Mahone Bay for graphic design services.
Staff have heard back from Acadia First Nation who have indicated that they would like to be involved in
the sign development to acknowledge traditional place names. Staff are in the process of setting up a
meeting with the Community Enhancement Development Officer from Acadia First Nation to discuss.

Staff are looking for Council input on proposed signage locations.

REQUEST FOR DECISION
REPORT TO: Municipal Council
MEETING DATE: November 17, 2022
DEPARTMENT: Community Development & Recreation
SUBJECT: Updates to Municipal Grants Program
ORIGIN: Council Request
Date: November 7, 2022 Prepared by: Chad Haughn, Director of Community Development & Recreation
Date: November 9, 2022 Authorized by: Dan McDougall, CAO
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Council continue to consider alternatives and changes to the grant program. Staff are
seeking final direction on the items discussed during previously held workshops as well as topics where Council
requested additional information.
BACKGROUND
Council held two workshops (July 21st & September 15th) to review and discuss the grants program. Following is
a list of preliminary suggestions resulting from the workshops:
Eligibility for all grants
- Groups need to be organized but do not need to be registered through NS Registry of Joint Stocks.
- If a group is not registered, the maximum they could receive is $3,000.
Operating Grant (A new grant to replace the former “Council Grant”)
- Add a question to the application asking for alignment with Municipal Strategic Priorities.
- Set budget for 2023-24 at $33,000 (a combined total of previous Council Grant $25,000 and Tourism
Grant $8,000).
- Set one deadline date – April 30th. [Previously there were two intakes May 31st and Oct 31]
Tourism Grant
- Remove / end the Tourism grant program. Tourism related events and projects are eligible under other
grants such as District Grant, Operating Grant and Recreation Grant.
District Grants
- Create basic guidelines for program.
- Improve the application form by adding more questions to get further details about projects.
- In the new guidelines, encourage small community events to be submitted through the District grant.
- Remove word limit for question responses in the fillable form.
- Keep budget at $10,000 per district (total annual budget of $70,000).
- Remove Feb 28th deadline. Applications need to be approved in the fiscal year that they were received.
Small Capital (New Grant Option)
- Develop a set of basic guidelines.
- Set budget at $25,000.
- Funds to come from Wind Reserve 1/3 Community Development budget of $275,000.
R e q u e s t f o r D e c i s i o n P a g e | 2
Major Project
- Maintain a minimum balance of $500,000 in the Wind Reserve 1/3 Community Development.
- The maximum annual budget to be approved is $250,000 from the overall Wind Reserve 1/3 Community
Development budget of $275,000 (the other $25,000 is allocated for Small Capital).
- MOC will contribute up to 70% of project budget. Of the other 30%, a minimum of 10% must be cash.
Wind Revenue: 1/3 Community Development, basic financial summary:
Funds currently in reserve (October 2022) $1, 085,000
Funds allocated for 2022-23 $ 414,000
Average annual contributions to the reserve $ 325,000
If Council proceeds with a maximum annual budget of $275,000 for capital projects and if the annual
contribution to the reserve continues at more than $300,000, the goal of maintaining a balance of $500,000 will
be achieved.
Recreation Grant
- Remove requirement for groups to be registered with NS Registry of Joint Stocks.
- Increase budget from $20,000 to $25,000 for 2023-2024 fiscal.
Trails Grant
- No separate trails grant program to be established.
- Community trail groups will continue to be eligible to apply for other Municipal grants.
- Preference is for easement to be in place to protect investment of public funding.
- Consideration should be given to develop a trails strategy or policy to help guide future Council
decisions related to community trails.
DISCUSSION
Annual Budgeted Grants
At the September 15th meeting, Council asked for additional information related to how groups were added as
an annual budgeted grant before deciding if other groups might be offered a similar option. There are currently
eight organizations that are part of list of groups that receive annual funding. Each of these groups were added
to this list over time for various reasons:
1. Church Memorial Park – The Municipality has a Memorandum of Understanding (2014) with Church
Memorial Park that outlines the financial contributions that will be made to support the facility. The
specific financial commitment from Council aligns with the four-year term of Council.
2. Card Lake Park – The Municipality has an agreement (2008) with the Province related to the operation
of Card Lake Park. The Municipality contributes funds annually toward basic park maintenance while
the ownership and overall control of the park remains with the Province.
3. Community Wheels – This community transportation service was established in 2007. Council
recognized this as a key service for residents and wanted to be an annual funding partner to support the
“by donation” model.
4. Lunenburg County Seniors Safety Partnership – A per capita funding model to support the budget of this
organization was established for all the municipal units in Lunenburg County. Support has been
provided on a regular basis since the group was established in 2014.
R e q u e s t f o r D e c i s i o n P a g e | 3
5. New Ross Regional Development Society – The Municipality provides an annual grant to the
Development Society that is equal to the taxes owed on the New Ross Band Stand property. This was a
commitment made when the new band stand was built.
6. a) Chester & Area Family Resource Centre
The CAFRC predominantly provides childcare services including those for infants, toddlers, preschool
and school age care. Annual budget is approximately $790,000.
b) New Ross Family Resource Centre
The NRFRC provides space for the New Ross Daycare to operate. They offer child programs but also
provide a suite of other community programs such as the community food project, adult programs,
blood collection clinics and counselling services. Annual budget is approximately $150,000.
c) Through The Years Day Care & Community Centre
TTYDCCC provides childcare services for infants, toddlers, preschool and school aged care. They offer a
few community programs and make facility space available to the public. Annual budget is
approximately $850,000.
In 2019-20 Council decided to provide equal annual funding ($5,000) to each of the three Centres.
There are currently two outstanding requests for groups to receive an annual grant from Council – the Chester
Art Centre ($25,000) and South Shore Tourism Association ($4,300). Council needs to determine under what
circumstances they will provide annual funding to particular groups. Council can continue with the past practice
of reviewing on a case-by-case basis considering specific circumstances, or, Council can develop a set of criteria
that would be used to help determine eligibility for a budgeted grant.
Eligibility – how many grants can a group apply for each fiscal year?
An additional outstanding decision is to determine which grants a group is eligible to apply for within a fiscal
year. At one point in the past, groups were only eligible to receive one grant each fiscal year. When the District
grants started, groups were eligible for one grant (Council, Tourism or Recreation) plus a district grant each fiscal
year. The question has been raised as to whether or not groups should be eligible for both capital and operating
grants within a fiscal year.
It is important for staff to have confirmation of which Municipal grants a group is eligible to receive within a
fiscal year.
OPTIONS
After reviewing all the options and information provided to date, Council needs to make final decisions related
to each grant offered:
a) Confirmation of the above noted suggested changes from the two workshops and any additional
changes.
b) Determine who is eligible for a budgeted grant and whether or not to provide an annual grant to the
Chester Art Centre and South Shore Tourism Association.
c) Determine which grants a group is eligible to receive within a particular fiscal year.
R e q u e s t f o r D e c i s i o n P a g e | 4
IMPLICATIONS
By-Law/Policy
The Municipal Government Act provides the authority for municipalities to issue grants to community
organizations.
Financial/budgetary
The following changes to the grants program will have an impact on the annual budget:
1. New Small Capital Grant has a proposed budget of $25,000 with funds to come from the Wind Revenue
1/3 Community Development.
2. Major Project Grant will have an annual budget of $250,000 with funds to come from Wind Revenue 1/3
Community Development.
3. The Recreation Grants Budget will increase from $20,000 to $25,000, an increase of $5,000 for 2023-24.
4. Any additions to the budgeted grants will be considered as part of the 2023-24 budget.
Environmental
NA
Strategic Priorities
The provision of grants program as outlined above will assist the Municipality in advancing the following Priority
Outcomes of the 2021-24 Strategic Priorities Framework:
Priority Outcomes: Governance & Engagement
1. Ensure municipal service delivery is efficient and effective, communicated and accessible.
Priority Outcomes: Healthy & Vibrant Communities
1. Ensure residents have access to facilities, natural assets, programs, and services that enrich a quality of
life and provide safe communities for residents and visitors alike.
Work Program Implications
Staff will be required to implement all confirmed changes to the grant program including:
- Creation of new guidelines
- Updates to existing guidelines
- Creation of new application forms
- Updates to existing application forms
- Advertising grant changes to community groups
- Updates to grant tracking spreadsheet
Has Legal review been completed? ___ Yes _ _ No _X_ N/A
COMMUNICATIONS (INTERNAL/EXTERNAL)
Once the changes to the grant program are confirmed and all guidelines and applications are updated, it will be
important to connect with community groups so they are aware of the changes. Notification will be done
through Municipal publications such as Municipal Insight and Explore Life. Staff will also push information out
through social media and direct email to groups on our contact list.

REQUEST FOR DECISION
Prepared By: Bruce Blackwood Date November 4, 2022
Reviewed By: Tara Maguire Date November 4, 2022
Authorized By: Dan McDougall Date November 4, 2022
CURRENT SITUATION
In accordance with the Rural Fire District Act and other specific Acts of Incorporation, Fire
Commissions are required to hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM) for the ratepayers in their
District. At these AGMs the Fire Commissions have historically reviewed the past operating
period and announced their fire services budget and fire tax rate for the next period.
During the Covid 19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, due to Public Health restrictions on the size of
gatherings, the Fire Commissions were unable to hold their AGMs and Council temporarily
amended the Policy P33 to allow acceptance of the tax rates without completion of an annual
AGM. This was intended to eliminate possible delays in the collection and distribution of fire
taxes by the Municipality at the approved rate.
Now that Public Health restrictions to Covid 19 have been lifted, all Commissions have restarted
their regular AGMs. Policy P33 (April 9, 2020) needs to be updated eliminating the temporary
amendments issued during the pandemic and providing for a general exception covering the
possibility of future Public Health restrictions.
RECOMMENDATION
To avoid any possible interruption or delays of the fire tax funding of the fire services and the
need for consideration of future exceptions to the Policy 33 (April 9, 2020), it is recommended
the reference to specific registrations periods be removed and replaced with a general
exemption if Public Health mandates future restrictions on public gatherings or otherwise limits
the ability to hold annual general Meetings (AGMs).
REPORT TO: Municipal Council
SUBMITTED BY: Bruce Blackwood, Fire Services
Coordinator
DATE: November 4, 2022
SUBJECT: Fire Service Registrations under Policy
P33
ORIGIN: Fire Services
2 Request For Decision
Specifically, it is recommended that the Municipality of Chester amend Policy P33 dated April
9, 2020 and:
1. remove the temporary provisions (of accepting the fire tax rate as presented by the Fire
Commissions without reference to the annual general meeting for the 2020/21 period)
from Policy P33, Section 5.2 and Schedule C, dated April 9. 2020 .
2. Provide for a new Section 5.4 establishing the need for the Commissions to provide
evidence that the annual report and financial statements of the previous year and an
election of commissioners as necessary has been completed at an Annual General
Meeting of the ratepayers. Include a general exception that if in any registration period,
Public Health NS mandates limitations to public gatherings or other restrictions that
make an Annual General Meeting not feasible (in person or virtual) or timely, Council
may the accept the annual registration updates provided without an Annual General
Meeting.
BACKGROUND
In 2020 and 2021 due to Public Health restrictions on gathering limits during the Covid 19
pandemic, it was very difficult for the Commissions to hold their annual general meetings.
In 2020 Council issued amendments to Policy P 33, extending the deadline for registration
updates and accepting the fire tax rate as approved by the Fire Commissions (P33, Schedule C)
without reference to their AGM. This amendment cited the registration year of 2020/21 as an
exception to the policy.
Unfortunately, as the Public Health restrictions continued into the next period, further temporary
exceptions were required for the 2021/22 registration period. These exceptions were approved
by Council in 2021-214.
The Commissions were advised of the extension of the exceptions due to continuing gathering
limit restrictions. Due to continuing uncertainty in the state of the pandemic recovery, Policy P33
was not updated at that time.
3 Request For Decision
D ISC USSION
These amendments and temporary exceptions were necessary to avoid any interruption or
delays of the fire tax funding of the fire services and receipt of the operational registration
updates.
The AGMs held by the Commissions are typically indoor public gatherings of Commission
members and the district rate payers. To avoid the need for consideration of future exceptions
to the Policy 33 (April 9, 2020), the reference to specific registrations periods will be removed
and replaced with a general exemption if Public Health mandates restrictions on public
gatherings or otherwise limits the ability to hold such meetings.
In accordance with the Rural Fire District Act an Annual General Meeting with the rate payers is
required and is to provide an annual report, financial statements of the previous year and an
election of commissioners as necessary. Historically, the Commissions have presented the fire
tax rate for the upcoming year at their AGM, however it is not mandatory to do so as the fire tax
can be approved by the Commission at any regular meeting of the Commissioners.
The amendments to Policy P33 reflect the need to show evidence of having an AGM, however,
eliminates the requirement to present or receive approval of th e fire rate at the AGM.

standard of safety. When evaluating the services to be provided, the Applicant shall refer to the
general definitions of service levels following:
Structural: means the activities of rescue, fire suppression, and property conservation in
buildings, enclosed structures, vehicles, vessels, or like properties that are involved in a fire or
emergency situation. The Applicant should have as a minimum: firefighters trained to NFPA 1001,
protective personal equipment, PASS alarms, a personnel accountability system, adequate water
supply, pumping capacity and an Incident Command (IC) system. The Applicant should also have
the proper training and protective clothing for wild land fires in accordance with the Nova Scotia
Department of Natural Resources’ provincial standard.
Defensive: means actions that are intended to control a fire by limiting its spread to a defined
area, avoiding the commitment of personnel and equipment to dangerous hazard areas.
Defensive operations are generally performed from the exterior of structures and are based on a
determination that the risk to personnel exceeds the potential benefits of offensive actions. The
Applicant without the ability to carry out structural firefighting may register as providing property
protection through defensive strategies. Rescue may be undertaken if the benefit warrants the
risk. The Applicant should have proper training and protective clothing for wild land fires in
accordance with the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources’ provincial standard.

REQUEST FOR DIRECTION
REPORT TO: Committee of the Whole
MEETING DATE: November 17, 2022
DEPARTMENT: Corporate & Strategic Management
SUBJECT: PACE By-Law and Program
ORIGIN: Strategic Priorities
Date: November 8, 2022 Prepared by: Jonathan Meakin, Strategic Initiatives Coordinator
Date: November 8, 2022 Reviewed by: Tara Maguire, Deputy CAO, and Tim Topping,
Director of Financial & Information Services
Date: November 9, 2022 Authorized by: Dan McDougall, CAO
RECOMMENDED ACTION
To review the Municipality of Chester’s draft By-Law 154: Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE)
Program and draft Policy P-111: Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Program, and to provide
direction on remaining PACE program options.
CURRENT SITUATION
At its May 19, 2022 meeting, the Committee of the Whole provided direction on a range of options for
a Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program for residents. That direction is summarized and
addressed in the Discussion section below.
The purpose of this follow-up Request for Direction is to:
1. outline how direction has been implemented in program development with Clean Foundation
so far and in the draft PACE Program By-Law and Policy;
2. identify any additional points for discussion and review; and
3. highlight other comparable programs available to residents by way of context and information.
BACKGROUND
Council identified the adoption of a PACE program to help residents undertake energy efficiency
measures in their homes as one of the Municipality’s 2021-24 Strategic Priorities. A PACE program
enables a municipality to provide low interest financing to qualifying homeowners interested in
undertaking clean energy upgrades.
Homeowners enter into an agreement with the municipality to finance eligible energy efficiency
measures, and the municipality applies a lien on the property as security for the cost of the upgrades,
rate of interest on the loaned amount, and any associated program fees.
A PACE program helps municipalities achieve three core community outcomes:
action on climate change through GHG emissions reduction;
R e q u e s t f o r D i r e c t i o n P a g e | 2
savings on energy costs; and
investment in the local economy through local contractors for retrofit service provision.
Legislative Background
The Municipal Government Act authorizes municipalities to provide financing programs for several
categories of equipment on private properties, as follows:
By-law regarding equipment charges
81A (1) The council may make by-laws imposing, fixing and providing methods of enforcing
payment of charges for the financing and installation of any of the following on private property
with the consent of the property owner:
(a) energy-efficiency equipment;
(b) renewable energy equipment;
(c) equipment for the supply, use, storage or conservation of water; and
(d) on-site sewage disposal equipment.
(2) A by-law passed pursuant to this Section may provide
(a) that the charges fixed by, or determined pursuant to, the by-law may be chargeable
according to a plan or method set out in the by-law;
(b) that the charges may be different for different classes of development and may be different
in different areas of the municipality;
(c) when the charges are payable;
(d) that the charges are first liens on the real property and may be collected in the same manner
as other taxes;
(e) that the charges be collectable in the same manner as taxes and, at the option of the
treasurer, be collectable at the same time, and by the same proceedings, as taxes;
(f) a means of determining when the lien becomes effective or when the charges become due
and payable;
(g) that the amount payable may, at the option of the owner of the property, be paid in the
number of annual instalments set out in the by-law and, upon default of payment of any
instalment, the balance becomes due and payable; and
(h) that interest is payable annually on the entire amount outstanding and unpaid, whether or
not the owner has elected to pay by instalments, at a rate and beginning on a date fixed by the
by-law.
R e q u e s t f o r D i r e c t i o n P a g e | 3
Second Financing Program for Residents
The Municipality’s Water Supply Upgrade Lending Program has been in place since August 1, 2018
authorized through this same section of the Municipal Government Act for the financing of equipment
for the supply, use, storage or conservation of water on private property.
Sustainable Development Initiative
The introduction of a PACE program is included in the draft Transition 2050 local action plan
recommendations (forthcoming) as an initiative that will both reduce community emissions and be a
cost saving measure for residents. Ultimately, a PACE program helps reduce waste, takes local and
measurable action on climate change, enables residents’ access to energy efficiency upgrades, and, in
general, helps advance Nova Scotia's economic, social, and environmental well being as a broad-based
sustainable development outcome.
DISCUSSION
During its May 19, 2022 meeting, the Committee of the Whole provided direction and raised questions
to inform the development of a PACE program for MOC. This feedback is summarized in the bullets #1-
#6 below followed by an overview of how this feedback has been addressed, either by the
administrative processes of the Clean Energy Financing program or as staff recommendations for a
course of action.
1. Outsource administration of the program to Clean Foundation.
Staff have proceeded with coordinating details for administration and marketing of a Clean
Energy Financing (CEF) program for the Municipality of Chester. Clean Foundation has
established processes for CEF. Additional details specific to MOC will be confirmed by MOC’s
PACE By-Law and PACE Policy once they have received Council’s approval.
Clean Foundation will then complete the following administrative process documents for
MOC’s administrative and/or legal review, as appropriate:
CEF Registration Form – Homeowners interested in the CEF program complete the Registration
Form, either in hardcopy or as an online form, and submit it to Clean. Clean then coordinates a
homeowner eligibility check with MOC, most notably in determining if there are any arrears.
CEF Customer Agreement Form – Clean issues the CEF Customer Agreement Form to eligible
homeowners. This document outlines the details of the Agreement between MOC and the
Qualifying Property Owner in proceeding with CEF.
CEF Service Agreement – This document outlines the agreement between Clean and MOC for
the delivery of the program.
Related:
On September 15, 2022, staff submitted an application for a Municipal PACE Program Support
Grant offered by the Department of Natural Resources & Renewables. If awarded, this $15,000
R e q u e s t f o r D i r e c t i o n P a g e | 4
grant will be used for the development and on-boarding of MOC’s Clean Energy Financing
program, such as development of administrative processes, communications and marketing
materials, development of a dedicated program website, and so on.
2. Confirm that Clean Energy Financing program fees will not provide up-front costs that act as a
barrier to access for low-income residents.
The total administration fee for each qualifying property in the program ($650) is handled
administratively as part of the overall financing allocation. If the maximum financing available
through the MOC PACE program is $40,000, then the available funding for energy efficiency
upgrades costs for each property would be up to $39,350 ($40,000 - $650).
What this means for MOC and the other ten municipal units contracting Clean Foundation for
program provision is that the municipality is invoiced by Clean for administration fees for
contracted services such as Home Energy Assessments, thus removing that up-front barrier to
residents.
NOTE 1: CEF Program Fees are made up of the following components:
Customer Agreement Fee ($150) – registration, agreement, repayment plans developed
and processed.
Home Energy Assessment ($199)
Quote Consultation & Approval Process ($200) – upgrade planning and review of
contractor quotes to ensure they meet the 1:1 debt-to-savings ratio.
Contractor Invoices ($100) – administration fee for processing contractor invoice
payment.
NOTE 2: Section 12 of the CEF Frequently Asked Questions document attached to this report
identifies program fees as being $250. That figure is for municipalities that have already
entered into a CEF service provision contract thanks to a Federation of Canadian Municipalities
grant secured by Clean to subsidize program fees for those municipalities.
NOTE 3: As noted in the May 19, 2022 Request for Direction: PACE Program Options, Colchester
County and Halifax Regional Municipality, who have not contracted the CEF program, waive
administration fees for low-income residents. They are able to do so as they manage and
administer their own PACE programs with dedicated staff positions and so waive their own in-
kind costs for staff time.
R e q u e s t f o r D i r e c t i o n P a g e | 5
3. Establish a rate of borrowing for PACE program participants that is no greater than the
Municipality’s cost to finance.
As with the Water Supply Upgrade Lending Program, Policy P-111: Property Assessed Clean
Energy (PACE) Program includes the following policy statement concerning the rate of interest
applied to Qualifying Property Owners’ PACE Charges:
Section 2.02 (a)
Interest payable at Scotiabank’s prime interest rate at the effective date of the PACE Customer
Agreement will be charged on the amount of the PACE Charge deemed outstanding.
Staff recommend this approach to establish a clear and consistent approach for financing
Municipal programs.
NOTE 1: A PACE program doesn’t cost anything in the long term, and, in fact, earns a modest
return on investment.
However, if Council is not interested in the aforementioned modest return on investment,
what would a rate of financing look like to result in a ‘wash’ on that return? This would be a
moving target in terms of charging a variable rate, which would place risk associated with
variable rates on residents participating in the program. The Director of Finance notes:
To be a net-zero program, from a financial perspective, depends on the difference between the
rate we charge, and the rate we receive (i.e. what we would have earned, had we not made the
loan).
In general, our cash deposits earn us the Bank of Canada overnight rate + 0.25%. Since the rate
of return we see on deposits changes with every BoC rate adjustment, the only way to
guarantee a true “wash” on this program would be to charge a variable rate on these loans.
By charging a fixed interest rate, we accept the risk associated with fluctuating interest rates. If
we were to charge a variable rate, we would be putting that risk on the borrower.
The Scotiabank prime rate is (most likely) always going to be higher than what we get on cash
deposits. However, this does not mean that we will always be earning a net gain by making
these loans. Case in point, the Water Supply Upgrade Lending Program is currently returning an
average rate of less than 3%, while as of the most recent BoC rate change, we are earning 4%
on our deposits.
4. Determine impact of maximum program financing for each property of $40,000 or 15% of a
property’s assessed value, whichever is less.
In reviewing the range of maximum funding made available by other municipalities for
individual properties in any given fiscal year, the Committee of the Whole discussion directed
consideration of $40,000 or 15% of a property’s value, whichever is less.
R e q u e s t f o r D i r e c t i o n P a g e | 6
Because energy upgrades plans and associated costs for individual properties can vary widely,
staff recommend that Council establish a maximum program amount each year and, therefore,
the maximum ongoing investment allocation over desired repayment terms.
Two possible options:
Maximum $400,000 Annual Program Budget at 10-Year Repayment Terms
Full program participation of $400K, with interest rates at 5.95% (as of November 8, 2022),
would, in years 10+, reach the maximum amount of an ongoing investment allocation of about
$2.4M.
Maximum $400,000 Annual Program Budget at 15-Year Repayment Terms
Full program participation of $400K, with interest rates at 5.95% (as of November 8, 2022),
would, in years 15+, reach the maximum amount of an ongoing investment allocation of about
$3.6M.
NOTE 1: Questions about what to allocate as total maximum program funding is more a
question about what to prioritize in the medium term; that is, whether the money tied up in
PACE program investment could or should be invested in something else. The total investment
amount is contingent on interest rates. Higher interest rates create higher total investment, but
they also generate a greater return on investment.
NOTE 2: Also, Clean Foundation is open to annual or multi-year contracts with municipalities, so
program details around financial commitment could be amended with each contract.
5. Assess impact on debt service ratio.
The Municipality is not permitted to borrow for the purpose of a PACE program. (For details on
what a municipality may borrow money for see Sections 63 (12), 66, 59(c) of the Municipal
Government Act.)
6. Other programs that offer similar support.

OPTIONS
In summary, staff seeks direction on the following.
1. Confirm the proposed rate of interest applied to Qualifying Property Owners’ PACE Charges:
a. Interest payable at Scotiabank’s prime interest rate at the effective date of the PACE
Customer Agreement will be charged on the amount of the PACE Charge deemed
outstanding;
or
b. Another rate of interest determined by Council.
2. Determine the total investment allocation for either PACE Program ten- or fifteen-year cycles:
a. Maximum $400,000 annual program budget at 10-Year repayment terms for a total
ongoing investment allocation of about $2.4M;
or
b. Maximum $400,000 annual program budget at 15-Year repayment terms for a total
ongoing investment allocation of about $3.6M;
or
c. Another maximum annual program amount determined by Council.

R e q u e s t f o r D i r e c t i o n P a g e | 9
IMPLICATIONS
By-Law/Policy
The introduction of a Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program for the Municipality of Chester requires
the adoption of By-Law 154: Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Program and Policy P-111: Property
Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Program
Dedicating program financial details to a PACE Policy rather than including them in a PACE By-Law provides a
more responsive tool for making program adjustments, as required.
The development of the draft PACE By-Law and Policy were based on template documents used by multiple
municipal units, with some revisions due to incorrect or unclear clauses.
Financial/budgetary
Any program costs associated with development, administration, and promotion of a PACE program are not
budgeted. Initial program costs could be off-set by a grant from the Department of Natural Resources &
Renewables. Financing awarded to homeowners would be repaid, along with any interest and fees, as a Local
Improvement Charge secured as a lien on the property in the case of default. Any decision to subsidize or waive
administration fees incurred by homeowners in full or in part would become a new budget item.
Environmental
A PACE program would help reduce community greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from residential heating, a key
recommended objective of the Transition 2050 Community Energy and Emissions Inventory and Mitigation Plan
(forthcoming for Council’s review).
Strategic Priorities
The development and implementation of a PACE Program will assist the Municipality in advancing the following
Priority Outcomes of the 2021-24 Strategic Priorities Framework:
Priority Outcomes: Environmental Stewardship
3. Support environmental conservation & protection initiatives and efforts to tackle the impact of
climate change.
Priority Outcomes: Governance & Engagement
2. Ensure municipal bylaw and policy frameworks reflect current and changing needs.
Priority Outcomes: Healthy & Vibrant Communities
1. Ensure residents have access to facilities, natural assets, programs, and services that enrich a quality
of life and provide safe communities for residents and visitors alike.
3. Determine a municipal role in terms of protecting and increasing a broad range of housing stock to
meet community needs.
Work Program Implications
The development of the PACE program by-law and coordination of the PACE program will be developed by the
Strategic Initiatives Coordinator in conjunction with Clean Foundation. Processes and procedures for financing
associated with a PACE program will be coordinated by the Director of Finance and Manager of Finance, in
conjunction with Clean Foundation.

(a) Section 2.03 of this Policy lists the eligible Clean Energy Upgrade types that may
be financed. Each type of upgrade must be evaluated by a specific energy
evaluation procedure and may need to conform to a particular energy standard,
which is identified beside each upgrade type. The required evaluation procedure or
standard ensures that the upgrade is studied from an energy science perspective,
and that a definable energy benefit is determined.
(b) In administering this Policy, the Municipality will ensure that any Clean Energy
Upgrades requested by property owners to be financed through the PACE program
are identified as being eligible types in Section 2.03. Furthermore, the Municipality
will ensure that for each requested upgrade the required evaluation procedure or
standard has been met and that a definable energy benefit has been determined or
recommended by a qualified energy professional. These minimum conditions must
be met before permitting a requested upgrade to be financed on a Qualifying
Property.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the Clean Energy Financing Program?
The Clean Energy Financing Program helps a municipality provide low interest financing to qualifying
homeowners interested in undertaking clean energy upgrades. Once the upgrades are completed, the
homeowner repays the municipality over time on their property tax bill – which is why these types of
programs are often referred to as Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing. Alternately, they
are sometimes called Property Assessed Payments for Energy Retrofits (PAPER).
2. How does the program work?
Interested homeowners must register to participate in the Clean Energy Financing Program. After
verifying that their property qualifies, the homeowner will enter into an agreement with the municipality to
complete eligible clean energy upgrades. The municipality would then add a Local Improvement Charge
on the property equal to the cost of the upgrades, plus lender rate and program fees.
3. Who is administering the program?
The program is being administered by Clean Foundation on behalf of the municipality. Questions about
the program and how it works can be directed to Clean at 1-844-727-7818
or cleanenergyfinancing@cleanfoundation.ca
4. What are the program eligibility criteria?
Homeowners may qualify for low interest financing if:
• they own a detached, semi-detached or row house (multi-unit buildings are not eligible for the
program);
• all of the property owners consent to participation in the program;
• the property is in good standing with respect to municipal taxes, rates or charges;
• the residence is in a participating municipality;
• note, the Town of Amherst requires a credit check for each homeowner.
5. What types of clean energy upgrades qualify for the program?
Homeowners can apply for Clean Energy Financing based on the clean energy upgrade
recommendations from a Home Energy Assessment performed by an Energy Advisor certified by Natural
Resources Canada.
Eligible clean energy upgrades include the following:
Clean Energy Upgrade Type
A. Insulation for ceilings, floors, main walls, kneewalls, foundation walls, foundation headers,
foundation slabs and crawlspaces
B. Draftproofing including caulking, weather stripping and duct sealing
C. Exterior doors

6. What is the 1:1 debt-to-savings ratio?
The intent of this program is for the cost of clean energy upgrades, program fees and cost of borrowing to
be less than or equal to the estimated energy savings over the financing period. The program will only
finance an upgrade or upgrade package that meets this estimated debt-to-savings ratio.

7. What are the financing interest rates and terms?
The Clean Energy Financing Program offers upgrade financing for a period of up to 15 years depending
on your municipality. The interest rate is fixed, and the municipalities will not negotiate different terms with
homeowners. If a homeowner enters default, the interest rate will increase to the municipality’s tax arrear s
rate.

9. How do I apply to participate in the program?
You will first need to be pre-qualified by completing the Registration Form and submitting it to Clean
Foundation, who will confirm your eligibility.
10. Where do I find the Clean Energy Financing Program documents and forms?
Visit CleanEnergyFinancing.ca to apply. If you need assistance completing the forms, please contact
CleanEnergyFinancing@cleanfoundation.ca or 1-844-727-7818.
11. How do I book my Home Energy Assessment and is the cost covered by the program?
You can book a certified Home Energy Assessment (HEA) through Clean Foundation by phone or email.
Alternatively, you can book a HEA through another Nova Scotian Service Organization.
If you book an assessment through Clean Foundation, the cost is covered by your Clean Energy
Financing program participation fee. Please see the information on program fees in question 13 for more
information. If you book through another Service Organization, you will be responsible for paying an
additional assessment fee of $199 (plus any applicable taxes) to them directly.
12. What Program Fees will I incur?
A program participation fee of $250.00 is required to take part in the program. The program
participation fee is non-refundable and will be included in your total financing amount.
In addition to the provincial and federal retrofit incentives, you have access to through the Home Energy
Assessment program, this $250 participation fee grants you access to low-cost financing, an additional
Greenhouse Gas emissions retrofit incentive (where available), guidance from our team on what retrofits
will be cost effective for your home, and ongoing support from our team of Energy Advisors and Technical
Analysts.
This process is more in-depth than a typical home energy audit and requires our team to collect
information beyond the scope of a standard assessment. This may include energy billing information,
data from combustion analysis, zonal blower door test data, and/or additional photos and measurements
of your home.
Please note: The Town of Amherst also requires a credit check for each homeowner. The cost of the
credit check is $30 per homeowner.
13. What if I enter the Clean Energy Financing Program but do not complete any clean energy
upgrades?
If a homeowner exits the Clean Energy Financing Program early, they will be billed for the program
participation fee by the municipality. The program fee will become payable 30 days upon exiting the
program.
If applicable in their municipality the homeowner will also be billed for the cost of any credit checks ($30
per homeowner).
Frequently Asked Questions

14. What if I’ve already had a Home Energy Assessment completed?
Although we may be able to use some data from your previous assessment a visit to the home will still be
required.
15. Who is responsible for getting quotes from contractors?
It is up to the homeowner to contact contractors to obtain quotes and to retain contractors to complete the
approved clean energy upgrades.
16. Is there a list of contractors who can complete the clean energy upgrades?
Yes. Clean Foundation has a list of contractors on our Trade Partner Network page. Efficiency Nova
Scotia also has a Partner Directory. Please note: Clean Energy Financing can only work with contractors
with liability insurance and WCB clearance. We can also accept quotes from companies who do not
appear on those lists; however, proof of the company’s WCB clearance and liability insurance must be
provided along with their quote(s).
If you are unable to find a contractor who can do the work that you are interested in (for example, solar
panels), please contact us. Unfortunately, the Clean Energy Financing program cannot finance the
homeowner doing the work themselves.
Note: Neither Clean Foundation nor the municipality are responsible for the work quality of any
contractors and assume no liability for the work undertaken.
17. Who is responsible for paying the contractor?
Homeowners are not responsible for paying contractors. As program administrator, Clean Foundation will
pay the contractor directly.
However, where a homeowner has chosen to have additional work completed over and above the
maximum financing amount, or an invoice exceeds the maximum approved financing limit, the
homeowner will be responsible for paying the amount in excess of the maximum financing limit.
18. What if the quote from my contractor is greater than my approved financing amount? Can I
still proceed with the work?
It is possible if the quote still meets the debt-to-savings ratio and is within the maximum financing limits.
However, the homeowner is responsible for paying all costs in excess of the approved financing amount.
*Please Note: A suite of upgrades may only exceed the total financing amount by a maximum of $5,000
in most municipalities. One invoice can be partially financed if the total additional cost of all upgrades
does not exceed this $5,000 cap. The total amount financed will still be the pre-determined municipal
maximum.
Clean will notify the affected contractor up-front so that they can issue a split invoice or Clean can
arrange to make a down-payment on the invoice. It is the homeowner’s responsibility to pay the
remainder of the invoice directly to the contractor.
Frequently Asked Questions

19. Is there a deadline for completing the program?
Participants are strongly encouraged to complete the program within six months of signing the Customer
Agreement.
20. If I’m not satisfied with my contractor’s work, who is responsible for making it right?
Homeowners are responsible for selecting a contractor to complete the recommended upgrades, and that
contractor is solely and entirely responsible for the quality of the work completed. Neither Clean
Foundation nor the municipality are responsible for any defects in workmanship or materials.
For this reason, it is strongly recommended that homeowners select contractors who are bonded,
insured, and who offer warranties that are in keeping with the industry standard.
21. Am I required to receive consent from my mortgage lender?
No, this program does not require lender consent. However, it is recommended that you notify your
mortgage lender about your participation in this program.
22. Can I pay off my financing early?
Yes. Homeowners may choose to pay off the balance of their financing in full at any time during the term
of their financing, without any penalties.
23. Can I make a partial lump sum payment?
Yes. Homeowners may choose to make a partial lump sum payment at any time during the term of their
financing, without any penalties.
24. Can I change the terms of the financing once I have signed the Financing Agreement?
No. Once you have signed a Customer Agreement, the terms are locked and cannot be changed.
25. What is the effect of having Clean Energy Financing registered against my property?
Pursuant to the municipality’s PACE By-Law, the Clean Energy Program financing constitutes a lien
against the Property until the amount of the financing, applicable interest, administrative charges and any
penalties for missed payments, have been paid in full.
The PACE By-Law provides the municipality with a method of enforcing the payment of financing owing
by the homeowner as is authorized by section 81A(1) of the Municipal Government Act. Under section
81A(1)(d) of the Municipal Government Act, this charge is a first lien on the property until the charge is
paid in full.
26. How will I pay the PACE costs that I incur?
After you send Clean the invoice for your last Clean Energy Upgrade you will be asked to make equal
payments over a period of 10 or 15 years depending on your municipality to repay the Clean Energy
Financing Fees (i.e., upgrade costs, program fees, and interest accrued). In East Hants payments are
made yearly. In all other municipalities payments are made monthly. Inverness County does not support
pre-authorized payments, so homeowners are encouraged to set up automatic withdrawals through their
Frequently Asked Questions
8
bank (to taxes@invernesscounty.ca) or pay in monthly cheques. The payment schedule will be made
available through the municipality.
If you exit the program without completing Clean Energy Upgrades, any incurred program fees will be due
30 days after you exit. The date of your exit is based on confirmation of Property Owner exit, or end of
program term. If these program fees are not paid within 30 days, interest will be accrued on the
outstanding balance and payable at the same rate applied by the Municipality for unpaid taxes.
27. What happens if I sell my home before my payment term is up?
During the process of sale, the Property Owner must provide a copy of the Customer Agreement to the
new owners. When the property is transferred to a new owner the lien is transferred to th e new owner
along with the property. At this time, the new property owner shall continue to be liable to the Municipality
for all Property Owner obligations and liabilities under this Agreement unless a lump sum payment
representing the outstanding balance of the Financing Charge plus accrued interest and any applicable
late charges is received by the Municipality at the time of the sale.
District of Lunenburg: In the District of Lunenburg the CEF charge is non-transferable. If the property
owner(s) decides to sell the property, a lump sum payment representing the outstanding balance of the
CEF charge plus accrued interest and any applicable late charges must be received by the Municipality a t
the time of the sale.
