PROJECT DESCRIPTION DU PROJET HISTORIQUE, REFERENCES ET INFORMATION DE SUPPORT Lors du processus budgetaire, Ie Conseil a fait demande de la faisabilite de mettre en place en 2012 un programme de licences d'affaires. Le rapport qui suit vous presente les avantages et les coots associes a la mise en ceuvre d'un programme de licences d'affaires et des responsabilites de chaque departement.

3 Provide a list to the municipality of the existing business which will in turn be a tool to leverage business development in areas where the Township is lacking. - Fournir une liste de commerce qui servira comme outil afin de promouvoir le développement d affaires dans la Municipalité. The issuance of a license does not create a right but is a privilege that is subject to review, suspension or revocation, for just cause, in accordance with the Municipal Act and any special legislation that has been obtained by municipalities to govern that activity. The Ontario Municipal Act, 2001, empowers municipalities to license and regulate businesses for the following reasons: Nuisance control; Consumer protection; and Health and safety of the public Some examples of the types of businesses regulated include food premises, rooming houses, taxis, etc. Issue The Township of Russell currently lacks publicly accessible data about businesses located within its boundaries. This lack of data negatively affects the Township s ability to measure economic development performance, ensure public safety and enforce code compliance and municipal revenues. Economic development The lack of data prevents economic development organizations from providing statistics on job growth and business sector growth and ultimately providing meaningful economic performance measures. Some of these measures include new jobs created and new businesses opened. Without a systematic method for collecting this information, confidence in the accuracy of the measures will be compromised. Public Safety The lack of data also contributes to inefficiencies and public safety concerns. Emergency dispatch service spends significant time attempting to track new businesses opening, moves and re-naming. The fire department needs this information in order to ensure that new businesses meet current fire codes. In addition, the Township lacks information on the storage of hazardous material and installation of fire suppression systems. The accuracy of this information is crucial for responding to emergencies safely, effectively and efficiently. Law enforcement and municipal revenues A business registry and license program will also La délivrance d une licence ne crée pas un droit mais un privilège qui est assujettie à la révision, à la suspension ou à la révocation, pour juste cause, conformément à la Loi Municipal, 2001 et de toute loi qui est en vigueur auprès des municipalités régis pour cette activité. La Loi sur les municipalités donne pouvoir aux municipalités à autoriser et à règlementer les commerces pour les raisons suivantes : - Lutte contre les nuisances; - Protection des consommateurs; et - La santé et la sécurité du public. Quelques exemples de types de commerces règlementés comprennent les établissements alimentaires, les maisons de chambres, taxis, etc. Question La Municipalité de Russell ne dispose pas actuellement des données accessibles au public sur les commerces située à l intérieur de ses frontières. Ce manque de données affecte négativement la capacité de la Municipalité de mesurer la performance de développement économique, d assurer la sécurité publique et de respecter les normes et les recettes municipales. Développement économique Le manque de données empêche les organisations développement économique de fournir des statistiques sur la croissance d emploi et du secteur des affaires afin de fournir des mesures de rendement économique dont certaines de ces mesures y comprennent des nouveaux emplois et des nouvelles entreprises. Ceci étant dit, sans de méthode systématique pour recueillir ces données, l exactitude des mesures sera compromise. Sécurité publique Le manque de données contribue également à l inefficacité et les préoccupations de la sécurité publique. Le service d incendie a besoin de ces informations afin de veiller à ce que les nouvelles entreprises se conforment au code d incendie et passe beaucoup de temps à suivre les déménagements, les changements de nom des entreprises et des nouvelles entreprises. De plus, la Municipalité, ne dispose pas d information d entreposage de matières dangereuses et des systèmes d extinction des incendies. Cette information est critique afin de répondre aux situations d urgence en toute sécurité et REPORT- business report.doc Page 3 of 4 4/5/2012

4 assist the By-law department to monitor businesses and ensure that they are in compliance with all municipal by-laws. Furthermore, this will be a tool to assist the tax and utilities department to insure that these businesses are paying their fair share. Local Chamber of Commerce Our chamber of commerce has a key role to play in the economic development of our community. It has over the past few years been struggling to attract members to register with the new amalgamated chamber. Presently, there are an estimated members of the local chamber of commerce with a potential of 600 to 700 businesses in the area that could be part of the new chamber of commerce. In our community there is an estimated business. In addition to the issues identified above, there is an opportunity to support our local chamber of commerce with the introduction of a municipal business license. Not only can the municipality gathers information about our established businesses and used it for future development planning and public security, it can financially support the chamber of commerce by contributing a part of the license fee to this organization to insure its viability. In return, the municipal council can request that this money be utilized for activities to be organized by the chamber specifically in the Township of Russell. I would recommend that 50% of the license fee be our contribution to the chamber of commerce. The fee that I m proposing is $100 which means that the total amount remitted to the chamber would be $10,000 to $15,000. If the three municipalities would follow our initiative it could represent $30,000 to $35,000 annually to ESTIC. We should encourage the Village of Casselman and the Municipality of Nation to adopt a similar policy. de manière efficace. Exécution des lois et de recettes municipales Un registre d entreprises et un programme de licences d affaires servira également le département de règlementation à surveiller les entreprises et s assurer qu elles sont en conformité avec les règlements municipaux. De plus, celui servira davantage aux départements des finances et des services publics afin de s assurer que ces entreprises paient leur juste part. Chambre de commerce locale Notre chambre de commerce local a un rôle clé à jouer dans le développement économique de notre communauté. Il y a eu très peu d inscription de nouveaux membres au cours des dernières années. Présentement, il y a environ 100 membres avec un potentiel de 600 à 700 entreprises dans notre région qui pourrait faire partie de notre chambre de commerce locale. Il est estimé avoir plus de 200 à 300 commerces dans notre communauté. En plus des questions mentionnées ci-dessus, il y a la possibilité d appuyer notre chambre de commerce locale avec l introduction d un programme de licences d affaires. La Municipalité peut recueillir des informations sur nos entreprises établies afin de faire la planification du développement futur et de la sécurité publique mais peut également soutenir financièrement la chambre de commerce locale en contribuant une partie des frais afin d assurer sa viabilité. En échange, le Conseil peut demander que ces argents soient utilisés pour des activités organisées par la chambre de commerce spécifiquement dans la Municipalité. Je propose que 50 % des frais soit contribué à la chambre de commerce. Le 100 $ proposé, signifie un montant total à verser à la chambre de commerce de $ à $. Si les trois municipalités suivent notre initiative, ceci représenterait un montant annuel de $ à $ à la chambre de commerce. Nous devrions encourager le village de Casselman et la municipalité de la Nation à adopter une politique semblable.
