Annual Billing Statement.

Agreement, adjustments shall be made in the amounts paid by the Municipality by
installment so that (i) the total amount paid in respect of the preceding year is equal to the
amount shown on the approved Annual Billing Statement and (ii) the installments for the
year following the year in which the statement is prepared are each equal to one twelfth of

Executive Summary
The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has over 100 years of experience in providing effective
community -based policing and protection throughout Ontario. The OPP has provided municipal
police services under contract for over 60 years and currently maintains contracts with over 140
communities across Ontario.
The Municipality of Kincardine requested a costing for OPP municipal policing. This proposal is
based on the Municipality of Kincardine paying an amount equal to the sum of the Municipality
of Kincardine's allocated portion of the OPP's total municipal policing base and calls for service
costs and the costs for overtime, cleaning /caretaker, accommodation, court security and
offender transport as applicable. Where a municipality chooses to receive police services from
the OPP pursuant to a contract, the OPP will provide the level of police services required to
provide adequate and effective policing, including providing the services set out in Regulation
3/99, Adequacy and Effectiveness of Police Services under the Police Services Act. If the
Municipality of Kincardine chooses to enhance the level of police services by adding dedicated
positions, the Municipality of Kincardine will be responsible for the costs associated with
establishing and maintaining the enhanced level of police services.
This proposal reflects the integrated policing concept, incorporating a police services 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 will be deployed to the municipality from this
facility.
The South Bruce Detachment Commander will be responsible to oversee all aspects of service
delivery. The detachment management including Staff Sergeant and Sergeant/ Platoon
Leaders as applicable would provide assistance and supervision to members of the South
Bruce Detachment.
In order to provide a location for the police and public to interact, and to facilitate the delivery of
police services in a community, the OPP encourages the establishment of Community Policing
Offices (CPOs). Where such offices exist they are usually equipped with telephone and
computer capabilities for use by officers assigned to the municipality. Any decision on the
establishment of a CPO in the Municipality of Kincardine rests entirely with Municipal council
and any associated costs will be the responsibility of the Municipality. It is recommended that
any CPO located within the Municipality be maintained.
In consultation with the Kincardine Police Services Board it is the intent that all existing
community service programs and community policing committees will be maintained.
Any new community service program considered may be implemented after consultation with
the Municipality of Kincardine Council, the Kincardine Police Services Board and the South
Bruce OPP Detachment Commander.
When a municipality chooses to receive police services from the OPP under contract, the OPP
will ensure that the municipality receives adequate and effective police services in accordance
with the Police Services Act and regulations. The shared infrastructure of the OPP broadens
local access to resources, expertise, solutions, training and management without duplicating
3
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 neighboring detachments
and regions, should the need arise.
The Municipality of Kincardine will be required to establish a Police Services Board, as
mandated by Section 10 of the Police Services Act that will generally determine objectives and
priorities for police services within the community, after consultation with the Detachment
Commander. The Commissioner is committed to ensuring that the Detachment
Commander of the South Bruce OPP Detachment responds 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 Kincardine
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 South Bruce OPP
contracts currently in place and future contracts pending, there is great emphasis placed on
OPP accountability to Police Services Boards.
The OPP is required to provide provincial level emergency 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, as- needed basis, by deploying small numbers of officers from
multiple locations and assignments, both provincial and municipal. During such times, the OPP
is responsible to ensure that appropriate resources remain in place to make certain the
municipality receives adequate and effective police services in accordance with the Police
Services Act and regulations. The use of OPP officers in cases where there is a provincial
obligation to respond will be accounted for as part of the billing model.
If the Municipality of Kincardine chooses to accept an OPP contract for its policing service, the
South Bruce OPP Detachment will assign resources, focusing on meeting the Municipality of
Kincardine's unique policing needs.
Value for 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 neighboring detachments, regional
headquarters and general headquarters;
• Seamless access to a comprehensive infrastructure and specialized services; and
• Assists the Detachment Commander in determining the local policing priorities and
objectives through the Kincardine Police Services Board.
Based on, among other things, an estimate of salary and benefit costs, the policing cost
for 2015 associated with this proposal is $ 2,340,499. This includes the related initial
costs for the enhancements if applicable. The annual billing statement and the costs
associated with the enhanced positions are set out in the attachments to this proposal.

Please Note:
Not included in this proposal are:
• The cost of maintaining the Police Services Board
• The costs associated with establishing and maintaining Community Policing
Office(s)
• Any applicable revenues accruing to the municipality as a result of police activity
( *Note — This proposal expires six months from the date of presentation to Council. At that time
the costs identified in the proposal will be subject to review and revision where necessary.)

Proposed Dedicated Enhancement Positions
Municipalities entering into a contract under Section 10 of the Police Services Act may choose
to receive dedicated enhanced positions.
Municipalities will be billed for the cost of dedicated enhanced positions using actual salaries,
wages, overtime and benefits and the latest approved municipal cost - recovery formula. Any
additional unique costs associated with the dedicated enhanced positions will be detailed on the
annual billing statement and the municipality will be billed accordingly.
The service delivered by these positions will be tracked and reconciled on an annual basis.
Your proposed contract enhancements are listed below:

O.P.P. Contract Enhancement Cost Summary 2
Additional Notes to the "OPP Annual Billing Statement ":
• The Annual Billing Statement is determined based on the new OPP billing model
effective January 1, 2015.
• The Annual Billing Statement is a statement of 2015 costs based on an estimate of
salary and benefit costs. Salary and benefit costs are estimates and are subject to a
final year end adjustment.
• As a result of the implementation of the new OPP billing model municipal policing costs
are subject to Phase -in Adjustments for the calendar years 2015 to 2019. The 2015
phase -in adjustment is dependent on the final 2014 cost. Phase -in adjustments are
subject to change and are based on an annual determination:
o If the municipality is subject to an increase between the final 2014 cost and the
2015 cost, the increase will be capped to a maximum of $40 increase per
property. The capped increase of $40 plus the growth factor per property cost
will be applicable for each subsequent year until the full cost is realized.
o The growth factor is a set per property cost for all municipalities dependent upon
general increases in salary, benefits, support costs and other direct operating
expenditures.
o If the municipality is subject to a decrease between the final 2014 cost and the
2015 cost it will be limited to the per property reduction limit applicable to the
year.
o The per property reduction limit is an annual per property amount determined for
all municipalities. The per property reduction limit is subject to change each year
based upon the determination of the funding required to offset the capped
increases for all municipalities.
• Dedicated Enhancement Reconciliation - Uniform Positions:
o Total hours of service provided by all dedicated enhancement positions will be
reconciled annually.
o It is currently estimated, in accordance with the OPP deployment model, that
each dedicated enhanced position will provide 1467 hours of service per year in
order to fulfill the requirements of their respective positions. If this number of
hours is not met, the total cost of all dedicated enhancement positions will be
reduced accordingly.
o Total hours of service for dedicated enhancement positions include hours of work
performed in a municipality by all officers assigned to enhancement positions.
Total hours will not include:
• overtime hours
• hours recorded for duties accounted for in the deployment model such as
court attendance, training and specific administrative duties
• hours calculated for billable calls for service by officers assigned to
dedicated enhancement positions unless the officer's position is general
law enforcement
• Dedicated Enhancement Reconciliation - Civilian Positions:
o Dedicated civilian enhancement positions will be reconciled annually based on
the actual staffing of the position. For example, municipalities will receive a
credit for periods when the position is vacant, excluding short -term vacancies
such as sick time, vacation, stat holiday, bereavement leave, etc.
