equipment and facilities, the costing formula applied to Annual Budget, any revisions to
that costing formula from the previous budget and all other matters affecting the Annual

month in each year, each one being one twelfth of the Annual Budget for that year subject to

conformity with the Annual Budget.

shall deliver to the Municipality for its approval an Annual Financial Statement for the
preceding calendar year, and which Annual Financial Statement shall include a reconciliation

records, statements of account, invoices and any other such documents necessary to support the
Annual Financial Statement, and all such records shall be kept for a period of six years.

days of such receipt, shall approve the Annual Financial Statement, or deliver to Ontario a
request to review the Annual Financial Statement.

provided in this paragraph, the Annual Financial Statement shall be approved or amended
and approved in accordance with paragraph 21 below.
Page 6

permit such a review to be carried out. If the parties are unable to agree on the Annual
Financial Statement, either party may submit the matter to the dispute resolution mechanisms
contained in paragraphs 25 and 26.

Agreement, an adjustment shall be made in the amounts paid by the Municipality by
installment so that the total amount paid in respect of the year to which the Annual Financial
Statement relates is equal to the amount as shown on the approved Annual Financial
Statement. Any amounts payable by one party to the other as a result of such adjustment shall
be paid by means of a credit for the appropriate party to be included in the billing for the month
immediately following the approval or deemed approval of the Annual Financial Statement.
Any amounts which have become due and owing by one party or the other according to the
adjustment shall bear interest at the rate set by the Minister of Finance of Ontario, from time to
time for the purpose of repayment of taxes, from 30 days following the date of invoice by one
party to the other.
23. Despite anything in this Agreement, the total amount of money paid by the Municipality for
police services in respect of any calendar year shall not exceed the Annual Budget for that year,
whether approved or not, and the Annual Financial Statement shall be amended to reduce or

required to be apportioned with the O.P.P.

Executive Summary
The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has 100 years of experience in providing effective community-
based policing and protection throughout Ontario. The OPP has provided municipal policing services
under contract for over 60 years and currently maintains contracts with over 130 communities across
Ontario.
The Municipality of Kincardine has requested a renewal of the current contract with the Ministry for
OPP policing which is due to expire on the 30th of April 2009. As a result of this request a renewal
proposal for policing has been prepared. The renewal proposal addresses the level of policing
services required to provide adequate and effective policing as set out in Regulation 3/99 of the
Police Services Act, Adequacy and Effectiveness of Police Services. To assist in determining an
adequate and effective level of service, an analysis of the workload generated within the municipality
during the past four years has been completed. This analysis allows the OPP to compare local
occurrences and incidents with provincial averages to accurately determine the number of officers
required.
This renewal proposal reflects the integrated policing concept, incorporating a policing service
contract for the Municipality of Kincardine with OPP highway patrol services and provincial
responsibilities under one administration. The South Bruce OPP Detachment will remain as the
Administration/Operations Centre. The resources identified will continue to be deployed to the
municipality from this facility to ensure the policing needs of the municipality are met. Administrative
and support resources are shared and costed accordingly.
The South Bruce Detachment Commander would be responsible to oversee all aspects of service
delivery. The Detachment Commander, Staff Sergeant and Sergeant-Shift Supervisors will provide
assistance and supervision to the identified complement in this renewal proposal.
It is recommended that any existing Community Policing Offices (CPOs) located within the
Municipality be maintained. CPOs facilitate the delivery of policing services, provide locations for the
police and public to interact and maintain a visible police presence within the Municipality. The OPP
encourages the establishment of CPOs where appropriate. Where such offices exist they are usually
equipped with a telephone and OPP network/NICHE capabilities. Any decision to establish CPOs in
the Municipality rests entirely with Municipal Council as do all associated costs.
The renewal proposal costs include a comprehensive range of services that are made available to
the Municipality of Kincardine. For example, expenses relating to contract negotiations, arbitration,
grievances, civil litigation, tendering/purchasing, information technology, fleet and
telecommunications are included in the overall Ministry approved costing formula. These services
often require considerable internal and external expertise and the high costs normally associated to
such services are defrayed through the contract for OPP service. . Note - The most recently
approved costing formula shall apply in the calendar year following its approval.
OPP salary costs are comprised of two components: base salary and a seniority incentive. The base
salary costs outlined in this proposal are calculated using the top pay level of each rank, but the
seniority incentive is incorporated using the average cost for all seniority levels. These costs are
reconciled annually to reflect actual costs for those officers providing service to the Municipality at
their current salary level. Overtime is estimated at the provincial average of 8.8%, and will also be

In consultation with the Police Services Board it is the intent that all existing community service
programs and community policing committees be maintained. Any new community service program
considered may be implemented after consultation with the Municipality of Kincardine Police Services
Board and the South Bruce Detachment Commander.
When a municipality receives OPP policing under contract the OPP will ensure that the required
resource levels are met. The shared infrastructure of the OPP broadens local access to resources,
expertise, solutions, training and management without duplicating services. The Municipality of
Kincardine will continue to benefit as additional staff are readily available from within the South Bruce
OPP Detachment as well as neighbouring detachments and regions, should the need arise.
This proposal includes enforcement of bylaws as agreed upon by the Police Services Board and the
OPP, at no additional cost. However, it is not the intention of the OPP to become the lead agency in
relation to bylaw enforcement, but rather to supplement existing or future bylaw officer's enforcement
activities. The enforcement of municipal bylaws is restricted to police related bylaws.
The Municipality of Kincardine will be required to maintain their Police Services Board, as mandated
by Section 10 of the Police Services Act. The Police Services Board will have control over the
priorities and objectives of the policing service within the community after consultation with the
Detachment Commander. The Commissioner is committed to ensuring that detachment
commanders respond appropriately to the Board's advice and priorities in a manner
consistent with the Board's identified concerns, expectations and needs.
It is long-standing OPP policy and practice to be accountable to the communities we serve. The
Commander of the South Bruce OPP Detachment, or designee, will report to the Police Services
Board on a regular basis, as per the direction of the Board. The OPP is experienced in being
accountable to the municipalities we serve. With over 100 contracts currently in place and future
contracts pending, there is a great emphasis placed on OPP accountability to Police Services
Boards.
Future growth and/or increased workload in the Municipality of Kincardine may necessitate an
increase to the proposed complement during the five-year term of the contract. Any such increase
would be negotiated between the Municipality and the OPP prior to any changes to the contract.
Advantages to the Municipality of Kincardine:
. Assurance of adequacy and effectiveness of police services;
. Dedication to resolving community issues through local involvement and community policing
committees;
. Availability of additional staffing support from neighbouring detachments, regional headquarters
and general headquarters;
. Seamless access to a comprehensive infrastructure and specialized services (refer to Municipal
Policing Framework for description of support and services available); and
. Generally determine the policing priorities and objectives through the Municipality of Kincardine
Police Services Board.

The OPP is required to provide provincial level response that can be mobilized in times of
emergency, disaster or a specialized investigative need. The OPP meets such emergent needs, on
an on-call and as-needed basis. These requirements are met by deploying small numbers of officers
from multiple locations and assignments. In doing so, the OPP ensures that appropriate levels of
service remain in place. Municipalities are compensated for contract resources mobilized in those
cases where there is a provincial obligation to respond.
If the Municipality of Kincardine chooses to accept this proposal and renew the OPP policing services
contract, the South Bruce OPP Detachment will focus on meeting the Municipality's unique policing
needs.
Please Note:
The following are not included in this proposal:
. The cost of maintaining the Police Services Board
. The costs associated to establishing and maintaining CPOs
. Any applicable revenues accruing to the municipality as a result of police activity
(* Note- This renewal proposal expires six months from the date of presentation to Council.
At that time the costs and service levels identified in the proposal will be subject to review
and revision where necessary.)
A complete description of services provided by the opp and civilian governance issues
is included in the accompanying document entitled "OPP Municipal Policing
Framework - Supplement to OPP Proposal." The services described are included in the
overall OPP costing formula.
