Dear Council;
The New Ross Legion Branch 79 would like to ask for a $1000.00 from our MODC Designated

As you may be aware, we poured an assessable patio and access ramps to our Cenotaph and

Currently, we are installing Stained Glass Barriers around the Front Patio along with p lacement
of 4 picnic tables and 10 cement planters.
We would appreciate your consideration of this request at your next council meeting.
Respectfully,
Roland Walker
Treasurer RCL Br 79.

To:Tammy Wilson, MURP, MCIP <twilson@chester.ca>
Subject:Chester FD Training Grant Request
Hi Tammy,
As we did last year we are planning a District training day using the mobile burn unit while it is the Chester area. The
date is June 10, 2018 and will be hosted once again by the Chester FD.This will be the 3rd mutual aid training using the
Mobile Burn unit. Turnout in prior years has been good with the majority of the 7 Departments participating.
Under our sponsorship policy last year we covered $ 2500 for the training day expenses in equipment and instructors.
Everett Hiltz, Chester Fire Chief, has applied this year again for municipal sponsorship in the same amount.The normal
MBU cost per firefighter is $125 per course. As we are expecting up to 30 firefighters the rental costs for the day are a
cost savings. With that number the lunch and rehab supplies budget appears reasonable. Some allocation for dumpster
rentals and vehicle removal have been made as scenarios are planned for these types of incidents.
Costs are budgeted in the Fire Services budget under Training and Development.
I have attached the grant application. Last year we took this separately to Council as it was covered under Fire Services
and not the general council grant funding.
If you are ok with the application, could you forward to Cindy to get it on the next COW/Council agenda?
Thanks
Bruce

consist of 13 members,of which one is to be from each municipal unit, and in addition two appointed
from Lunenburg County, one from the Region of Queens , and one from Shelburne County.The members
must be business representatives.Presently the Board has three members, 1 from Town of Lunenburg,
Two from MODL; and one from RQM.
The Agreement requires that there needs to be 7 members for the Board to meet.Thus,the Board is non-
functional. With the pending windup it will be difficult to get ne w Board Members or to maintain the
existing Board Members. Member Units are asked to recommend to the LOC the appointment of their
Chief Administrative Officer, and in MODC’s case the Warden (to establish one member from MODC and
one the two members from Lunenburg County).
RECOMMENDATION
That Municipal Council recommend to the SSREN LOC that the LOC appoint Tammy Wilson, CAO
and Warden Allen Webber to the SSREN Board to assist in the wind-up activities of the SSREN
BACKGROUND
See excerpt from Inter-Municipal Agreement re Board Composition.
The Municipal Units gave notice of intention to withdraw in March 2018. The Board is the employer and
decision maker for the matter of what is required to be done for windup. The mandate of the Board will
be to wind up the REN and perform the work required to do so.
OPTIONS
The following options are available to Council:
1.Recommend the appointment of the Warden and CAO to the Board
2.Recommend the appointment of other individuals (elected or non-elected)

CURRENT SITUATION
The Municipalities Streetscape Plan identified Paved Shoulders along Highway 3 as a priority. MODC
advised the Nova Scotia Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal (NSDOTIR)of this and
asked that it be considered in the Highway 3 upgrades. The section of Highway 3 from Chester Basin to
Wake-up Hill Road is being done in 2018-19, and from Wake-Up Hill Road to Chester in 2019-20.
An estimate to incorporate paved shoulders into the Highway 3 upgrades (Chester Basin to Robinson
Corner) has been received.The cost is $276,000 and MODC would be responsible for 100 percent of the
costs. A decision is required to be made as soon as possible, as work is soon to commence .
RECOMMENDAT ION
That Municipal Council authorize the expenditure of $276,000 as budgeted for in the Capital
Budget for paved shoulders from Chester Basin to Wake-up Hill Road.
BACKGROUND
At the Feb 2018 Streetscape Workshop Councillors confirmed their desire to see p aved shoulders along
Highway 3.Council further directed that we ask NSDOTIR to provide an estimate of what the other
improvements identified in the streetscape plan would costs and what funding may be available. The
areas of interest were:
-Victoria Road / North Street Intersection
-Trial connect with Victoria Road
-Shoulder along Hawbolt’s property (pedestrian pathway)
-Valley Road / Duke Street
-Paved Shoulders along Highway 3
On May 16, 2018 correspondence was received from NSDOTIR advising of the costs to MODC to have
paved shoulders from Chester Basin to Wake-up Hill Road, being $276,000. Staff have not yet received the
cost estimate for the other improvements.
REPORT TO:Municipal Council
SUBMITTED BY:Administration
DATE:May 25, 2018
SUBJECT:Highway Upgrades-Paved Shoulders
ORIGIN:COW-Feb 8, 2018
2 REQUEST FOR DECISION /Direction
DISCUSSION
Ideally Council would have costs for all the improvement s desired and thus be able to decide knowing the
full picture. Unfortunately, the costs for the other improvements being considered are still not known.
Paved Shoulders were identified as a priority by Council. The opportunity now exists to incorporate p aved
shoulders into the Highway 3 work being undertaken this year. Next year paved shoulders may be
considered to close the gap between Duke Street and Wake-up Hill Road. If paved shoulders are not
incorporated into the work along Highway 3, it will be a missed opportunity that may not be able to be
considered for many years (next time this portion of Highway 3 is upgraded).

CUR RENT SITUATION
A critical component establishing our new and exciting chapter for Visitor Information Services,
involves enhancing our on-line presence marketing the Municipality of Chester and branding of
Tourism Chester.
DISCUSSION
The centrepiece of our online presentation will be our new website tourismchester.ca
In order to ensure maximum efficiencies and minimize expenditures -the site is being
developed in tandem with the new Municipal site chester.ca
The two sites will compliment one another, share key informational elements (business listings,
event calendar) but will indeed serve to separate initiatives. The new tourism site has been
designed around our creative requirements and as an added bonus the team at Blaize Studios
Inc. has created a logo to compliment that presentation in both look and feel. While it in no
way comprises the integrity of the Municipal brand it does encroach on the "clear area" as
outlined in the guidelines as issued in the brand hierarchy.
To create the new website and ensure a consistent brand, Blaize has also proposed to create a
Tourism Chester logo with the goal of ensuring consistency in our presentation across all
mediums. Because all of our efforts will be on promoting positive and engaging experiences for
our visitors we recognize our logo should reflect that feeling through image a nd text -and
naturally complement the existing Municipal logo.The logo that is proposed has been designed

would not include the “Tourism Chester” brand.
Blaize is at a point where they are ready to start populating the new website so that it is ready
for a launch in early July. The proposed design is attached to this report. At this point, we are
seeking approval from Council for the proposed Tourism Chest er Logo as it does not meet the
design guidelines for our municipal logo as it infringes on the ‘clear space’ or white space. We
do feel that in this situation this violation of the guidelines does not violate the overall intent of
the brand guidelines.
At this time, the design of the website is being provided for council’s information. IT should be
noted that any change to the overall design of the website, or the logo may require additional
hours and effort on the part of Blaize Studios and is not inclu ded in the current scope of work.
We would need to review requested changes with them to determine the impact on the budget
and timeline.
OPTIONS
1.Council approve the proposed Tourism Chester logo with no additional charge, given
that it is included as a bonus in our established budget for the website.

CURRENT SITUATION
The Municipality engaged Bluenose Coastal Action Foundation (BCAF) to co-ordinate the third water
quality testing season for Fox Point Lake in 2017. Monitoring activity commenced in May and continued
through October. The final report was submitted in February 2018 and considered by the Water Quality
Monitoring Committee at its meeting of February 13, 2018.
RECOMMENDATION
Receive the Report for 2017 and share with:
-NS Environment
-Aspotogan Ridge developers
BACKGROUND
The Municipality appointed the Fox Point Lake Water Quality Monitoring Committee in response to
concerns expressed during public discussions about the adjacent proposed golf course/residential
development.The Committee is comprised of representatives of Municipal Council, the Municipal Area
Advisory Committee, the Aspotogan Heritage Trust,the Fox Point Lake Property Owners Association, a
local resident with knowledge of water quality monitoring, and a representative of the land
owners/developers associated with the Aspotogan Ridge development.
DISCUSSION
Water quality monitoring, based on a program designed by BCAF, involves bi-weekly tests to assess the
health of the water body. Included are tests for nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen,chlorophyll a,
water clarity, suspended and dissolved solids, dissolved oxygen, thermal stratification, pH,and fecal
coliform. New for 2017 was a sediment sampling at the stream bottom (south inlet) and at the
southwest cove site.The program employs guidelines for acceptable levels from the Canadian Council
of Ministers of the Environment and other official sources.
Sampling sites were at the north inlet, the south inlet, the outlet,and in deep water (see Map on Page 3
of the report). The 2017 season also included a one-day site visit to do water sampling of the full south

inlet stream, the area with the most nutrient loading. This work required permission from the golf
course property owners, obtained with the assistance of committee member Ged Stonehouse.
Volunteer monitors conducted the testing following training and under supervision. There were four
volunteers in 2017.
Key findings:
Aspotogan Ridge golf course visit –This one-day visit was to conduct in-situ water quality
parameters along the full south inlet stream. The most notable result is low dissolved oxygen
levels. It was noted that a good-quality riparian habitat is being maintained where sediment
control measures are being implemented.
Sediment sampling at the south inlet stream and the lake bottom at the southwest cove
portion of Fox Point Lake –This sampling was undertaken because sedimentation plumes
from runoff in the early phase of development likely settled in this area. Using Ontario’s
Provincial Sediment Quality Guideline for phosphorus concentration, the south inlet site was
below the guideline (which is good), and at the southwest cove site was marginally above it.
Algae bloom –For the second season in a row, an algae bloom was observed in June. The
concentration of microcystin LR (0.71 µg/L) was below the drinking water guideline (which is
good).Distinguishing toxic blooms from non-toxic blooms is impossible without test results,
which are slow to be obtained, and so residents must be alerted to possible dangers every
time this occurs.
Trophic state -For the third season in a row, the lake was found to be Oligotrophic
approaching Mesotrophic. This is a good result.
Thermal stratification –The conditions were similar to previous years, being hypoxic (<2 mg/L
dissolved oxygen) which means reduced ability to support aquatic life.
pH level –This level is increasing. While thermal stratification results (above) are not the best
for aquatic life, rising pH is good for aquatic life.
Suspended solids –Conditions were consistent with previous years, being that concentrations
did not exceed the average for Nova Scotia lakes.
Nutrients –Once again, the South Inlet was the only location that exceeds the guideline and is
still a source of excess nutrient loading.
Report’s recommendation for 2018:
The Committee concurs with the report’s recommendation,which is to conduct a fourth season of water
quality monitoring (see Page 32 of the report). However, consideration should be given to reducing the
frequency of testing. Retaining volunteers has historically been a challenge (ideally there should be five),
and reducing the frequency should lessen the volunteer burden.
The Committee supports the other aspects of testing recommended, including lake bottom sampling,
sediment sampling, and algae bloom sampling.

CURRENT SITUATION
For the past three years, the Municipality has engaged Bluenose Coastal Action Foundation (BCAF) to co-
ordinate a water quality testing program for Fox Point Lake.The report for the 2017 monitoring season
has been received by the Committee and presented to Municipal Council. The Committee has expressed
its desire to continue monitoring activity of Fox Point Lake for the 2018 season. Staff have contacted
Bluenose Coastal Action Foundation and obtained two pricing options for consideration by Council
(Appendix A).

DISCUSSION
At the Fox Point Lake Water Quality Monitoring Committee meeting held on February 13, 2018,several
recommendations made in the 2017 monitoring report were accepted by the Committee:
To continue the monitoring program for the 2018 season;
To collect water samples at the bottom waters of the lake to determine if dissolved oxygen
depletion is resulting in increase in nutrients from lake sediments;
Collect field replicates and blank samples to assure quality control;
Continue to supply residents with sampling bottles in the event of an algae bloom.
Consider amending the frequency of the sampling program (to monthly from current bi-weekly)
to reduce the commitment from volunteers;
Continue to collect sediment samples from the south inlet site.

request for decision
Based on the above recommendations, staff obtained two pricing options from Bluenose Coastal Action
Foundation to continue monitoring for the 2018 season.
Option 1 –Total Cost $10,161.29, this includes 6 water samples over the course of the season (May-Oct)
with samples taken from 4 sites each month. Bluenose Coastal Action Foundation (BCAF)staff would be
in the field for each sampling date and will deliver the samples directly to the Maxxam Analytics Lab in
Bedford.
Option 2 –Total Cost $8,558.19, this includes the same 6 sampling dates from 4 locations around Fox
Point Lake. The main difference between Options 1 and 2 is that Bluenose Coastal Action Foundation
staff would only assist volunteers in the field for 2 of the 6 sampling dates under Option 2. BCAF staff
would be present for the first sampling date to provide a refresher for volunteers on sampling
procedures and would also attend the August sampling date to assist with one-time collection of
sediment samples.This option would require volunteers take over the role of delivering the water
samples to Maxxam Analytics in Bedford.
Both options propose monthly sampling as recommended in the 2017 monitoring report. In previous
years, volunteers have taken measurements and readings on a bi-weekly schedule with water samples
taken monthly. Both options propose cessation of the bi-weekly monitoring by volunteers. This will
reduce volunteer time commitments as discussed by the Committee at the February 13, 2018 meeting.
Option 1 is similar to the monitoring program undertaken in 2017, the total cost for the 2017 monitoring
program was $9,827.90. The main source of increased costs between 2017 and Option 1 for the 2018
season is due to increased costs for Maxxam Lab fees.
Pricing options for monitoring for the 2018 season have been obtained only from Bluenose Coastal
Action Foundation. According to Council’s procurement policy, this expenditure would qualify for
Alternative Procurement Approval as procurement of a Low Value for the services described above. As
Bluenose Coastal Action Foundation is a non-profit organization, criteria 18 under appendix 1 of the
procurement policy is satisfied.

CURRENT SITUATION
The Department of Municipal Affairs (DMA)has issued a call to municipalities to submit their
priorities for potential infrastructure projects in the short to medium term. These priorities will
help the province develop a provincial plan and determine fiscal needs for the recently signed
Canada/Nova Scotia Bilateral Agreement for the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program
(ICIP).
Staff has verified that the Municipality of the District of Chester’s (MODC)projects included in
our submission are eligible for the ICIP.These projects have also already been reviewed by
Council as part of the MODC’s ten-year capital plan. Although MODC has been asked to submit
its project priorities,what is submitted does not constitute an application or commitment to
those projects.Nor is MODC prevented from submitting different capital projects when the
DMA solicits formal applications and proposals to the ICIP.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council ranks the infrastructure projects listed as priorities on the ICIP spreadsheet.
A REMINDER that Council is free to modify MODC’s strategic priorities for infrastructure projects
once DMA releases the ICIP application process and framework plan later this year.
