PUBLIC INPUT SESSION (15 minutes)
Nancy Hatch, Village Commission, noted that the Commission would also like to ensure public
access is maintained with the unopened roads within the Village. They forwarded a letter
yesterday to Public Works requesting that the lands remain open to the public. She advised
Council the Commission would like to work with them on these types of items.
MATTERS ARISING
6.1 Request for Decision prepared March 10, 2023 - Infrastructure & Operations - Unopened
Roads/ Trails Acquisition.
Present was Matthew Blair, Director of Infrastructure and Operation who reviewed the Request
for Decision prepared March 10, 2023 - Unopened Roads/ Trails Acquisition. He also suggested
that the Municipality work with the Village Commission on this matter. He outlined information
in the Request for Decision commenting on the 2018 Recreation Playbook that identified some
of the unopened roads from an Active Transportation point of view. The request is to begin
discussions with the province to determine what the process would be to obtain ownership of
the unopened roads and trails within the Municipality.
The CAO noted that the last time Council pursued ownership, the arrangement suggested by
the province was not supported by Council. We can formally request the province to identify
the land and ask for a transfer for a nominal amount or does it still require appraisal and market
value exchange. We are interested in the properties. He has asked staff to find the previous file
so that they have information on what was discussed previously.
Council suggested obtaining a list of the properties throughout the Municipality and they can
be prioritized while staff is in discussions with the province.
Nancy Hatch, Village Commission, noted that the Commission would not be interested in
purchasing the land because of budgeting and the same reason that Council might not be.
However, they are disturbed about the permitting process for NS Department of Public Works to
allow landowners to encroach without asking local government.
2023-099 MOVED by Councillor Wells, SECONDED by Councillor Church that the Committee of
the Whole recommend to Council to direct staff to engage with the appropriate
provincial departments regarding Unopened Roads/Trails Acquisition in the
Municipality of Chester. ALL IN FAVOUR. MOTION CARRIED.

Diversity, and Inclusion Shared Position.
Tara Maguire, Deputy CAO reviewed the Request for Decision prepared March 10, 2023
regarding a Regional Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Shared Position. She noted that this has
been discussed by the Mayors and Wardens over the past year and at the January meeting the
CAOs were given direction to prepare a model and budget to hire a regional coordinator to lead
the work. She outlined the budget information.
A discussion was held regarding where other units are with their local Equity, Diversity, and
Inclusion Committees; some have one in place and others are waiting for the regional
committee. Also discussed was the funding formula, term position housed here (1-2 days per
wee) similar to the Accessibility Coordinator position, consistency across Lunenburg County,
whether to keep the local EDI Committee, additional layers of committees, length of the term,
and the Memorandum of Understanding.
It was suggested that the Municipality’s EDI Committee review the information and provide
some feedback on the regional committee.

NEW BUSINESS
9.2 Request for Decision prepared March 10, 2023 - Corporate & Strategic Management -
Cost of Living Considerations - Salary for 2023/24.
Tara Maguire, Deputy CAO reviewed the Request for Decision prepared March 10, 2023 - Cost
of Living Considerations - Salary for 2023/24, noting that the number used is All Items for NS.
The Cost of Living is traditionally approved prior to the April 1 fiscal year to make a smooth
transition. It was noted that the number is high, but so is the cost of living.
Deputy Warden Shatford and Councillor Connors noted that some other organizations are
using different numbers. It was noted that there are various formulas that can be used, but
this is the number that is included in policy and has been used consistently for many years.
2023-103 MOVED by Councillor Veinotte, SECONDED by Deputy Warden Shatford that the
Committee of the Whole recommend to Council to approve the annual Cost of
Living at 7.5% (All Items for Nova Scotia Annual Average) for 2023/24 by:
• Approving the Draft 2023/24 Employee Salary Bands - Approve the Cost-of-
Living increase by the Consumer Price Index – All Items for Nova Scotia
Annual Average 2022 by 7.5% Effective April 1, 2023. And
• Recommend the amendment to Policy P-09 Warden, Deputy Warden, and
Councillors Salaries - Give Notice of Intention to Amend Policy P-09 Sections
A, B, and C to increase annual remuneration Cost of Living by the Consumer
Price Index – All Items for Nova Scotia 2021 by 7.5% Effective April 1, 2023.
DISCUSSION:
Councillor Veinotte noted that the Cost of Living is a high amount, but not so many
years ago it was 0.3% - it seems to be smoothing out.

MATTERS ARISING (continued)
6.2 Request for Decision prepared February 28, 2023 - Community Development &
Recreation - Capital Grant Applications Review.
Chad Haughn, Director of Community Development & Recreation, was present to review the
Request for Decision prepared February 28, 2023 - Capital Grant Applications Review. He
outlined the submissions.
Small Capital Grant - New Ross Fire Department - $8,640.00.
A lengthy discussion was held on the application from the New Ross Fire Department and it
was noted that a group of partners (Fire Department, Farmers Association, etc.) are working
together on a community project (New Ross Rink at the New Ross Fair Grounds), but the Fire
Department was the organization who provided the application. It was noted that the
Farmers Market will also be able to put in a request for the same property and could be a
potential loophole of different organizations requesting grants for the same property.
It was suggested that there should only be one application per location or the applicant must
be the owner of the property.
2023-105 MOVED by Councillor Veinotte, SECONDED by Councillor Assaff that the
Committee of the Whole recommend to Council to approve a Small Capital Grant
Committee of the Whole (continued) March 16, 2023 94
in the amount of $8,640.00 to New Ross Fire Department (Rink Committee). ALL
IN FAVOUR. MOTION CARRIED.
The Major Capital applications were reviewed and it was noted that all three made
presentations to Council.
Chester Municipal Heritage Society - $99,753 (up from $77,766). The Director noted
that Carol Nauss had requested an updated amount to be considered - $99,753.
Lighthouse Foodbank - $53,707.
Through the Years Learning Centre - $20,000.
It was noted that there is $250,000 in the budget and $173,460 in requests.
Discussion took place regarding the following:
Deadline of January 31 and changes in an application sent after the deadline. It was
agreed that no changes to applications would be accepted after the deadline.
Revenue outside of the budget year.
Applications from early learning centres - they can apply for capital grants only.
Backing out HST in applications as that would be funds returned. It was agreed that
HST would be backed out of the applications.

March 23rd to outline the plan.
The Director confirmed that he would request Ms. Nauss to come in and provide the financial
statements and will advise her of the HST rebate concern and group contribution.
Net HST amounts would be eligible.

2023/24 BUDGET
Present was Tim Topping, Director of Financial & Information Services who provided an update
from the March 9, 2023 Budget discussions and changes determined. Then Council will discuss
how to balance the budget with the changes and discussions of today.
He reviewed changes made since the March 9, 2023 meeting and included in the information
provided, noting that surplus is down to $433,283.
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE - BUDGET (continued) March 16, 2023 102
The CAO noted that page 40 included “parking lot” items that have not been included. The
majority of them are one-time items. If there is a decision after receiving a report from staff to
invest in the moorings program, it would primarily be one-time costs. One technique in
budgeting is to transfer to reserves from general reserves 100,000 for unbudgeted items. Or
identify specific numbers for others.
Deputy Warden Shatford noted that it makes sense to put some funds in for unbudgeted items.
The CAO outlined costs that had been incurred by MODL for the installation of moorings
($3,000) and noted that MICA had asked for six in this Municipality. This would include future
costs for annual operating and inspection.
With regard to the Haughn property we are expecting an update and presentation from the
society.
An Arts and Culture Funding Strategy was discussed and it wads noted that there is presently
$25,000 in the budget for the Chester Art Centre. It was noted that the Chester Playhouse is
also interested in applying to become a line item for funding. Councillor Veinotte asked if it was
or intent to hire a consultant to say this is how to fund arts in your community.
The Deputy CAO noted that Council approved the strategy; some of the work would be done in-
house and there is $25,000 earmarked for consultants. If something comes out of that - a new
grant program for example - that is what the parking lot item is.
There may be more costs related to a strategy. Whether the strategy tells you it would be
appropriate for funding other organizations is something we will learn. It was noted that there
are other groups interested.
Deputy Warden Shatford asked if there should be a strategy first and then determine a budget.
He would not want to give an organization a grant and then have the strategy say that they
should be funded less than that.
Day cares were briefly discussed and it was noted that one organization is not a day care but is
actually a family resource centre.
It was noted that if the daycares come off, they should have a year’s notice that they are coming
off the list. It was agreed that the day care component needs to be separate from the resource
centre component.
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE - BUDGET (continued) March 16, 2023 103
Deputy Warden Shatford noted that previously they were restricted but now can apply for
operating grants.
Councillor Connors noted that years ago the other organizations were offering those programs,
whereas now they are not. It is important to her community to explore. Those that we are
taking off we will give them a year’s notice.
Deputy Warden Shatford suggested reducing the commercial rate to $1.45 and the residential
rate drop by .05 cents, leaving $245,000 in surplus.
Councillor Veinotte suggested a residential/resource rate of 69.5 cents per $100 of assessment
and $1.50 for commercial with the remaining to go to reserve.
Warden Webber noted that it would be good to put some into reserve, because there is so
much on the go.
The CAO noted that deed transfer tax can be volatile. It was suggested that the deed transfer
be increased to 60% from 50% in reserves to tackle infrastructure programs. It could be
changed at a later date.
Allen asked if we Council agreed to increase the deed transfer tax transfer by 10% could we still
afford to drop the residential and commercial rates.
Councillor Veinotte noted that he would like to give a break to someone who owns a house and
Warden Webber noted that residential assessments are capped and we provide a low-income
benefit to residential taxpayers. Commercial properties are not capped and not eligible for
grants that we provide.
Councillor Connors noted that there haven’t been a great number of units who have set their tax
rates. She did a Google search. The property tax rebate we offer is not better than other units
and they have a healthier drop of ½ cent for residential. She prefers the one cent decrease for
the residential rate and a three cent decrease for the commercial rate.
All agreed to a one cent drop in the residential rate and a three cent drop in the commercial
rate, with the rest in reserve for infrastructure development fund.
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE - BUDGET (continued) March 16, 2023 104
2023-109 MOVED by Councillor Assaff, SECONDED by Councillor Church that the Committee of
the Whole recommend to Council to direct staff to revise the 2023/24 budget based
on discussion today to:
• Reduce the Residential/Resource Tax Rate by One Cent; and
• Reduce the Commercial Tax Rate by Three Cents; and
• Transfer Surplus to Reserve for Infrastructure Development; and
Bring forward a revised budget and motions for Council’s consideration.
ALL IN FAVOUR. MOTION CARRIED.
2023-110 MOVED by Councillor Assaff, SECONDED by Councillor Church the meeting adjourn.
ALL IN FAVOUR. MOTION CARRIED. (12:33 a.m.)

REQUEST FOR DECISION
REPORT TO: Municipal Council
MEETING DATE: April 6, 2023
DEPARTMENT: Community Development & Recreation
SUBJECT: Public Moorings
ORIGIN: Request From MICA
Date: March 29, 2023 Prepared by: Chad Haughn, Director of Community Development & Recreation
Date: March 29, 2023 Reviewed by: Mathew Blair, Director of Infrastructure & Operations
Date: March 30, 2023 Authorized by: Tara Maguire, CAO
RECOMMENDED MOTION
It is recommended that Council approve participation in the public mooring project and the cost associated with
the installation of six public moorings in the waters near Chester.
CURRENT SITUATION
The 2023 boating season is approaching and in preparation Council needs to make a final decision on whether or
not they would like to participate in a public moorings project in partnership with the Mahone Island
Conservation Association (MICA).
BACKGROUND
On September 15, 2022, members of the Mahone Island Conservation Association (MICA) presented a public
moorings project to Council. MICA had previously partnered with MODL who was granted approval from the
Province to install 24 public moorings at various islands in their district. In 2022, 6 of those moorings were
installed and the remaining 18 are planned for installation in 2023.
MICA requested that the Municipality of Chester join the project and establish similar public moorings at several
locations in the Chester area.
The installation of public moorings is important because of the increase in private moorings around islands and
the challenges associated with them. The main challenges with private moorings, as outlined in the MICA
presentation of September 15, 2022, include:
- They ‘stake private claim’ by the owner.
- They can restrict access to the shore.
- Most are set in preferred popular locations.
- They reduce space available for anchoring.
- Unattended or abandoned moorings are a hazard.
- They are contrary to the work MICA and partners have worked for acquiring islands for public use.
The public moorings would be identified with a distinctive colored ball and would be marked “Public Mooring”.
A tag would also be attached to the pennant that outlines the proper use of the mooring. They would be
installed at MICA owned islands and specific locations will be selected in partnership with MICA representatives.
R e q u e s t f o r D e c i s i o n P a g e | 2
On January 11, 2023 MOC staff participated in a meeting with representatives from MODL, MICA and NS
Department of Natural Resources and Renewables (DNRR) staff and Minister about the project. DNRR plan to
use an educational approach in dealing with private mooring owners. They are supportive of the project and are
willing to work together on outcomes such as transition of private moorings to public moorings, installation of
public moorings and removal of illegal moorings as appropriate.
DISCUSSION
Municipal staff have had preliminary discussions with MODL and are aware of the process and costs associated
with the mooring installation and maintenance. MICA has suggested 6 moorings for the Chester area, two each
at Birch, Squid and Clay islands. If Council chooses to proceed with this project, staff would work with MICA
representatives to select the optimal locations for each site. Staff will then follow the proper application and
approval process through DNRR.
OPTIONS
1. Approve the recommendation to install 6 moorings as outlined above.
2. Take no action and notify MICA that the Municipality will not participate in the public mooring project.
3. Provide alternative direction to staff related to the public moorings project.
IMPLICATIONS
By-Law/Policy
NA
Financial/budgetary
Initial cost to purchase and install moorings:
$1,700 each x 6 moorings = $10,200
Annual Costs:
There will be annual mooring winterization costs.
$100 each x 6 moorings = $600
Note – MOC staff will use the same specifications for the moorings that have already been developed.
Specifications include things such as size of bottom mooring block, type and length of chain, size and length of
pennant, size and wording of notification tag.
Environmental
NA
Strategic Priorities
The installation of public moorings will assist the Municipality in advancing the following Priority Outcomes of
the 2021-24 Strategic Priorities Framework:
Priority Outcomes: Economic Development
1. Position the Municipality as Nova Scotia’s south shore community of choice for residents, businesses,
and organizations, and as an international tourism destination.
R e q u e s t f o r D e c i s i o n P a g e | 3
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.
Priority Outcomes: Infrastructure & Service Delivery
1. Create efficiencies through innovative service delivery, and proactive maintenance and operations of
existing infrastructure.
Work Program Implications
If a decision is made to proceed with the moorings project, the Infrastructure & Operations Department will lead
the work to install and maintain the moorings. Staff will continue to work with MICA and MODL staff to
efficiently install and maintain the moorings. This work will either happen directly with a contracted company or
in partnership with MODL.
Has Legal review been completed? ___ Yes _ X_ No __ N/A
COMMUNICATIONS (INTERNAL/EXTERNAL)
If this project proceeds, staff will work on communication options through our own communications tools (i.e.
newsletter, social media) as well as work with MICA, who have already begun to promote public moorings.
Main elements of the project such as location of the moorings and proper use of the moorings will be promoted.

MEETING DATE: April 6, 2023
DEPARTMENT: Corporate & Strategic Management
SUBJECT: SSTC Formula Update
ORIGIN: 2022-480
Date: March 1, 2023 Prepared by: Olivia Corkum, Community Economic Development Officer

Date: March 31, 2023 Authorized by: Tara Maguire, Deputy CAO
CURRENT SITUATION
South Shore Tourism Cooperative (SSTC) has re-evaluated the formula dictating annual budgeted contribution
amounts from governmental partners.
BACKGROUND
This originates from a Sept. 15, 2022, presentation by SSTC board members, Peter Cullen and Joanne Cooper,
requesting Council to support operational funding of SSTC as a budgetary line item moving forward. Historically,
most of the funding has been provided to SSTC through annual tourism grants.
In November 2022, Council approved the addition of South Shore Tourism Cooperative to the budget as a line
item in the amount of $4,221.66 subject to confirmation that the funding formula being used is correct.
DISCUSSION/UPDATES
Staff contacted the SSTC to confirm the funding formula for governmental contribution in November 2022.
This request prompted SSTC to re-evaluate the formula the organization has used in the past, resulting in a delay
in response to the Municipality’s request.
Staff received the funding formula details from the SSTC in February 2023.
The new formula consists of:
1) An overall base rate of $500, or $1000 if the population comprises 5,000 people or more), plus
2) 20 per cent of the population, converted into dollars
SSTC’s ask from local government units for 2023/24 are outlined in Figure 1: SSTC Government Contribution
Request under attachments. Their ask of the Municipality of Chester for this period is $3,138.60. Our annual
contribution amount will remain the same until the next census data becomes available. Additionally,
contributions are capped at $5,000 per unit.
This concept has been approved current governmental partners on the board and if a partner chooses not to
pay, other units will not be asked to cover their share.
