Marlo, see below. I understand you gave the reporter different info than Valerie but Valerie got Info from your
depts??? Can you (and ask your staff) not to respond to her, but to refer her to Valerie who Is trying to manage this
situation. I think this happened before and it is giving Valerie grief. You might want to talk to Valerie but steer clear of
her requests if at all possible. This is all to do with the flooding issues, I believe.
Thanks

Good Afternoon Ms. Brownell:
As Mr. Scarpelli is in election training, I will respond to the questions posed in your last paragraph as follows:
1. As is evident in the Mediator's Report, you made it clear in the mediation that the information you had
requested was the raw data required to make maps. You also indicated that you would make a new request in
this regard which you did. Accordingly, there was no reason for Mr. Scarpelli to call you for a clarification..
2. Mr. Scarpelli did liaise with the Engineering Department, specifically the Manager of Geomatics who is the
corporate expert in this information and has been working with this information since 1988. Mr. Sonego has
confirmed with the Manager that the information that was provided to you in Mr. Scarpelli's decision letter of
November 29, 2013 was correct. As is stated in the interim decision, responsive records have been located
however there isa cost associated with their assembly. The interim decision also outlines the steps you can take
if you wish to appeal the interim decision regarding the fee estimate.
Best Regards,

Valerie/Steve please check this out as a response to her email. If you are ok this, I would like to have
Marian D. review from a records perspective to make sure I have the facts correctly identified.
Thank you, Claire for the email. I need further clarification with regards to your request. I am under the
impression you wanted the "raw data" since that is what you stated to the mediator from the Office of the
Information and Privacy Commissioner/Ontario. In her Mediator's Report dated November 5, 2013 she
concludes her findings as follows:
"Results of Mediation:
At the mediation stage, the mediator spoke with the appellant and the City of Windsor. The appellant confirmed that she
was not interested in the flood maps and that she is interested in the raw data only. The mediator noted that July 24,
2013 decision was a fee estimatelinterim access decision and not a final fee/final access decision and therefore it was
premature to appeal access. Further, the mediator noted that the July 24, 2013 fee estimate/interim access decision
related to flood maps and since the appellant is seeking only raw data and not the maps, it would be best to submit a
new request, which the appellant indicated she would do. The mediator subsequently advised the City of Windsor, who
asked that the appellant, when submitting her request, explain as best as possible the raw data she is seeking, so as to
facilitate processing of her new request. The mediator conveyed this to the appellant, who indicated that she had since
submitted her new request and that she is seeking raw data, used to compile the maps and at minimum, would be
satisfied with receiving the 100 block street names. In light of the above, the current appeal is now closed."
We were under the impression that your request was referring to "raw data". The responsive department
determined that "raw data" referred to the "Flood Event Questionnaire" which was the raw data used to
populate an excel spreadsheet with some of the information derived from the questionnaire. This flood event
is from the year 2010 only and therefore the excel spreadsheet referred to is for the years 2010 to the present
day.
There are no responsive records relating to the time period before the year 2010, these do not exist.

Thank you, Chuck.
The information I am interested in is exactly what I asked for in my request: Data in Excel-readable format (.xls, .csv,
etc.) used to make maps of basement flooding after major rain events since 2000.
Today, Mario Sonego confirmed that this data exists in the digital format I requested. He said some of that data is from
information input from the homeowner surveys, but some of the most recent maps were made by creating
spreadsheets of 311 call data as well. My request is for all of that data - excel-readable data from every spreadsheet
ever made to create a map after basement flooding events in the city.
When I spoke with you and someone else who I believe worked with the engineering department about the maps a few
months ago, the staff member said the city started making maps after major flooding events around the year 2000,
which is why I included that date in my request. I will try to verify exactly when the first map was made, but I don't think
you are correct that records I'm requesting don't exist prior to 2010.
As I said in my voicemail, I'm going to be writing a story about this for the paper. I would like you to please explain why
you didn't contact me after I filed my Nov. 5 request, which clearly asks for Excel-readable data, to ask for a clarification
if you thought that was different from what the mediator had indicated I was looking for. I would also like you to please
explain why you didn't talk to Mario Sonego or others in the engineering department to determine whether or not the
data exists in the format I requested, as is your legal responsibility under MFIPPA. The story will note the fact that it has
been six months since I filed my original request.
Please give me a call this afternoon.
Thank you,
Claire Brownell

Hi Chuck,
1
I got your response letter to my FOI request. I am glad that you have changed your mind and now agree that I am
entitled to this data and it is not exempt from the act as personal information.
According to your letter, the information I requested is only available in paper form, hence the large fee. However, I just
confirmed with Mario Sonego that the data does, in fact, exist in electronic excel-readable form, which is the format I
asked for in my request. He said the city data enters the information from the flood surveys (and apparently 311 call
data for some of the more recent floods) and uses the resulting spreadsheet data to make the maps.
Sending me this data is as simple as finding out whose computer the spreadsheet files are on and sending it to me as an
email attachment, or on a USB key or data CD. It will not take anywhere the 40 hours of search and preparation time
you estimated for the paper records.
Given this information, please contact me as soon as possible to let me know whether you are going to reconsider the
fee or whether I need to appeal it again.

No. I don't think that's the same. I think flooding would negatively affect a house value much more than evidence of a

releasing the information could attract liability for the City.

Hi Chuck,
The IPC mediator has advised me to re-file my request for the data the city has used to make maps after major flood
events since 2000, so I did that this afternoon. My request is attached.
The mediator then called me back to ask for clarification about what I mean by "data." I don't know exactly what data
the' city compiled in order to make these maps, but I imagine it would include, at the very least, the date of the flood
event and the addresses where flooding was reported. That's the minimum amount of data I'm looking for (and will
accept redactions of exact addresses to the hundred-block level), but if the city compiled other data that went into the
maps, please advise and I'll let you know if I'm interested in that too.
Since you already indicated in a July 29 email that you are denying my request for that data, it would be great if you
could issue a formal decision to that effect as soon as possible so I can get going with the appeal process again. Of
course, I would also be thrilled if you would reconsider.
If you do deny the request again, I'll be doing a story for the paper asking why the city is holding this information to a
different standard than other information related to properties before I appeal. Information that is currently freely
available online through the city's website, searchable by address, includes: assessment value, bylaw violations, building
permits, the annual property tax bill and what school board the homeowner supports. The Windsor Police Service also
maps reports of crime down to the hundred-block level online:
https:!!www.crimereports.com/?forceCenter=true&lat=42.280293&lng=-83.008447&zoom=13
Precedents through the IPC indicate that the test for whether or not information can be redacted under the "personal
information" exemption is whether or not it can identify an individual and I don't see how addresses redacted to the
100-block level could possibly do that.
That's my position, anyway. Look forward to hearing about yours.
Thank you,

No. I don't think that's the same. I think flooding would negatively affect a house value much more than evidence of a
few break ins on a block. I still feel that releasing this information could negatively affect property values and that
releasing the information could attract liability for the City.

Looking at this article. Should we do a letter to the editor to explain our position on why some information we
won't release and what we offered
I don't know if other media will askJor interviews
If they do Val you are probably the best person to be interviewed.
Your thoughts?

issued? If the latter, how long do you expect it will take to issue it?

Good Afternoon Ms. Brownell:
As Mr. Scarpelli is in election training, I will respond to the questions posed in your last paragraph as follows:
1. As is evident in the Mediator's Report, you made it clear in the mediation that the information you had
requested was the raw data required to make maps. You also indicated that you would make a new request in
this regard which you did. Accordingly, there was no reason for Mr. Scarpelli to call you for a clarification..
2. Mr. Scarpelli did liaise with the Engineering Department, specifically the Manager of Geomatics who is the
corporate expert in this information and has been working with this information since 1988. Mr. Sonego has
confirmed with the Manager that the information that was provided to you in Mr. Scarpelli's decision letter of
November 29,2013 was correct. As is stated in the interim decision, responsive records have been located
however there is a cost associated with their assembiy. The interim decision also outlines the steps you can take
if you wish to appeal the interim decision regarding the fee estimate.

Thank you, Chuck.
The information I am interested in is exactly what I asked for in my request: Data in Excel-readable format (.xls, .csv,
etc.) used to make maps of basement flooding after major rain events since 2000.
Today, Mario Sonego confirmed that this data exists in the digital format I requested. He said some of that data is from
information input from the homeowner surveys, but some of the most recent maps were made by creating
2
spreadsheets of 311 call data as well. My request is for all of that data - excel-readable data from every spreadsheet
ever made to create a map after basement flooding events in the city.
When I spoke with you and someone else who I believe worked with the engineering department about the maps a few
months ago, the staff member said the city started making maps after major flooding events around the year 2000,
which is why I included that date in my request. I will try to verify exactly when the first map was made, but I don't think
you are correct that records I'm requesting don't exist prior to 2010.
As I said in my voicemail, I'm going to be writing a story about this for the paper. I would like you to please explain why
you didn't contact me after I filed my Nov. 5 request, which clearly asks for Excel-readable data, to ask for a clarification
if you thought that was different from what the mediator had indicated I was looking for. I would also like you to please
explain why you didn't talk to Mario 50nego or others in the engineering department to determine whether or not the
data exists in the format I requested, as is your legal responsibility under MFIPPA. The story will note the fact that it has
been six months since I filed my original request.
Please give me a call this afternoon.

Thank you, Claire for the email. I also got your voicemail message from this afternoon and I am heading into a
training session for Election Officials but I wanted to get this out to you.
I need further clarification with regards to your request. I am under the impression you wanted the "raw data"
since that is what you stated to the mediator from the Office of the Information and Privacy
Commissioner/Ontario. In her Mediator's Report dated November 5, 2013 she concludes her findings as
follows:
"Results of Mediation:
At the mediation stage, the mediator spoke with the appellant and the City of Windsor. The appellant confirmed that she
was not interested in the flood maps and that she is interested in the raw data only. The mediator noted that July 24,
2013 decision was a fee estimate/interim access decision and not a final feelfinal access decision and therefore it was
premature to appeal access. Further, the mediator noted that the July 24, 2013 fee estimate/interim access decision
related to flood maps and since the appellant is seeking only raw data and not the maps, it would be best to submit a
new request, which the appellant indicated she would do. The mediator subsequently advised the City of Windsor, who
asked that the appellant, when submitting her request, explain as best as possible the raw data she is seeking, so as to
facilitate processing of her new request. The mediator conveyed this to the appellant, who indicated that she had since
submitted her new request and that she is seeking raw data, used to compile the maps and at minimum, would be
satisfied with receiving the 100 block street names. In light of the above, the current appeal is now closed."
We were under the impression that your request was referring to "raw data". The responsive department
determined that "raw data" referred to the "Flood Event Questionnaire" which was the raw data used to
3
populate an excel spreadsheet with some of the information derived from the questionnaire. This flood event
is from the year 2010 only and therefore the excel spreadsheet referred to is for the years 2010 to the present
day.
There are no responsive records relating to the lime period before the year 2010, these do not exist.
Once i hear from you, by email and if necessary, I will re-issue a new fee estimate and interim decision letter
based upon your clarification.

Hi Chuck,
I got your response letter to my FOI request. I am glad that you have changed your mind and now agree that I am

According to your letter, the information I requested is only available in paper form, hence the large fee. However, I just
confirmed with Mario Sonego that the data does, in fact, exist in electronic excel-readable form, which is the format I
asked for in my request. He said the city data enters the information from the flood surveys (and apparently 311 call
data for some of the more recent floods) and uses the resulting spreadsheet data to make the maps.
Sending me this data is as simple as finding out whose computer the spreadsheet files are on and sending it to me as an
email attachment, or on a USB key or data CD. It will not take anywhere the 40 hours of search and preparation time
you estimated for the paper records.
Given this information, please contact me as soon as possible to let me know whether you are going to reconsider the
fee or whether I need to appeal it again.

Ijust dug up a recording of my conversation with you and Kirk Tamm from July 22. When I ask how many maps there
are, Kirk says: "We're looking up potentially 12, from 2011 all the way back to 2000."
This confirms that there are, in fact, responsive records prior to 2010. When I asked him if the city had mapped flooding
from 2013 yet, he said it hadn't, but that was five months ago. You'll note that my November request is for excel-
readable data used to make flood maps since 2000, so if flood maps have been made for 2013, those spreadsheets fall
under my request as well.

Chuck,
Please keep this email for your records.
Below is what I sent to a number of staff in what some still call Public Works. Everyone verified that my account is
accurate, and Larry Webb, who moved from Engineering to Operations in 2006, also had a bit more to add.
He said that before 2000, if bad storms resulted in basement flooding, sometimes notices were put in the newspaper
and residents were invited 0 fill out a form that included their name and address, so that the City would have an idea
where the storm damage was the worst.
These addresses were compiled and made their way to the "measles" map I mention below. The original forms may
have been kept in folders and drawers in some engineering offices downtown, but when the re-org of 2003 occurred
and many senior managers were let go, a lot of this paperwork got tossed out. Many newcomers to these newly vacated
offices embraced a new work flow, and old folders that held dated and unorganized info was no longer needed, was
destroyed.
And, he also supports that the measles map was created for internal use only to help engineers determine storm water
problem areas and to aid in determining sewer rehab budgets. None of the original information collected was kept, as it
was deemed unnecessary to do so.
We have spreadsheets oniy from 2010 to present; these are detailed below.
I am still filling out the Records Retrieval Form 2 and may need some help from you. Can I call you?
Thanks,
Marian

Subject: For - Basement Flooding data
I have to answer a Municipal Freedom of Information request as it relates to data collected, stored and mapped
between 20002013 to show "basement flooding".
I have already done research, have talked to several people, searched in the back of my mind, and now wish to confirm
some facts relating to this data. I will break it down according to different timeframes, and if you can write back to
support, or add, to what I have outlined, I would appreciate it.
Years 2000-2009:
After a major storm, some homes experienced basement flooding issues
Some of these property owners/residents called the Public Works Department to complain
o Calls were received at the Operations offices (day or night)
o Calls came to the front counter in PW on the third floor (day)
These calls were documented
o Some were recorded to initiate an inspection of some kind (possible eeling, advice for remedy...)
o Some were recorded on a sheet of paper only
Every year (started in the 1990's), these calls were recorded on a map that was often referred to as the
"measles mapll
o A dot was placed in an Autocad drawing at the approximate location of the address recorded after
storm and basement flooding calls
o The "data" received by CAD staff for this purpose came to the office in the following formats:
Sheets of paper with typed or handwritten addresses
Spreadsheet made by Operations or Engineering - contained the same kind info as hard copy
sheets mentioned above
o Once the paper lists were plotted on a map, the paper was generally destroyed by the CAD staff
o Not clear about what happened to the spreadsheets
o Not clear if original hard copy lists stayed with recording department, or if they still exist
The "measles map", also saved to file name M-1464 was used to set storm/sanitary sewer construction
priorities every year at budget time
Year 2010:
June 4, 2010, a major storm came through Windsor and Essex County
o Many reported basement flooding
o Mayor asked residents to call 311 to log their basement flooding complaints
City Public Works staff (managers and engineers) met to devise a plan to help gather information and created a
questionnaire
o The questionnaire was hand delivered to residents in areas that had suffered obvious basement
flooding
o Questionnaire was also made available on the city website
o Residents had many options to return the questionnaires - drop off at city hall offices, customer care
centres, mail to city hall, drop off at Operations
o Some 15001700 filled out questionnaires were collected over the next 2 months
2
o The paper questionnaire are stored in 6 folders, covering 5 defined zones/boundaries and the 6
th
one
covering complaints that fell outside of those 5 boundaries. The folders are on the shelf filing system at
the back of the room in the engineering department, third floor CHS
Many of those who filled out the questionnaire also made a phone call to 311
o Some called 311 more than once
o 311 asked questions and filled out available fields in their CSR system in order to capture as much info
as possible, but the fields were limited, and it was often difficult to ascertain the reason for, or type of,
flooding
o The term "flood" or "flooding" could have applied to standing water on the road, in their yard, or in
their basement
o Water in basement may have come from the sewer, or seeped in through the basement walls; some
had sewage, some had storm water only
Geomatics GIS staff, with the help of the 311 mapping analyst, used data collected by 311 and created a geo-
database to map calls
A map could now be generated without a manual process of locating each address and.1Jlacing a dot; the
database, with XY coordinates, allowed the software to handle this process
o When questionnaires were returned, staff manually placed the results in a spreadsheet
o Many of the returned questionnaire addresses had already been captured by a call to 311
o Staff checked both databases to remove duplicates
o Over the next 2 months, the map for 2010 was updated
Year 2011 - 2013:
311 updated the CSR to include more fields to capture more relevant basement flooding related calls
Very few calls were made in the next 3 years
These addresses have been added to previous years and are recorded on an updated "measles map"
Spreadsheets created from 311 calls are kept for records and mapping in Geomatics and can be found on a
server called Tucker: Current/K:\Flooding
Did I capture pretty much what you know about our collection and mapping of "basement flooding"?
In a nutshell, we have no spreadsheets or paper files to support the measles map before 2010, and have some data,
although not always telling the full story, for 2010 to present.

At our Managers Meeting this morning, I asked some key engineering managers if they could ask their PW colleagues in
other municipalities if they track "basement flooding" and if so, if they divulge this data to the public. I'm not sure how
fast I will get a response, so I may try another approach.
Meanwhile, can you check with other municipalities for similar FOI requests and results? Perhaps other cities have

No. I don't think that's the same. I think flooding would negatively affect a house value much more than evidence of a
few break ins on a block. I still feel that releasing this information could negatively affect property values and that
releasing the information could attract liability for the City.

U b j ~ MAPPA request re-filed
HI Chuck,
The IPC mediator has advised me to re-file my request for the data the city has usedto make maps after major flood
events since 2000, so I did that this afternoon. My request is attached.
The mediator then called me back to ask for clarification about what I mean by "data." I don't know exactly what data
the city compiled in order to make these maps, but I imagine it would include, at the very least, the date of the flood
event and the addresses where flooding was reported. That's the minimum amount of data I'm looking for (and will
accept redactions of exact addresses to the hundred-block level), but if the city compiled other data that went into the
maps, please advise and I'll let you know if I'm interested in that too.
Since you already indicated in a July 29 email that you are denying my request for that data, it would be great if you
could issue a formal decision to that effect as soon as possible so I can get going with the appeal process again. Of
course, I would also be thrilled if you would reconsider.
If you do deny the request again, I'll be doing a story for the paper asking why the city is holding this information to a
different standard than other information related to properties before I appeal. Information that is currently freely
available online through the city's website, searchable by address, includes: assessment value, bylaw violations, building
permits, the annual property tax bill and what school board the homeowner supports. The Windsor Police Service also
maps reports of crime down to the hundred-block level online:
https://www.crimereports.coml?forceCenter-true&lat=42.280293&lng--83.008447&zoom-13
2
Precedents through the IPC indicate that the test for whether or not information can be redacted under the "personal
information" exemption is whether or not it can identify an individual and I don't see how addresses redacted to the
lOO-block level could possibly do that.
That's my position, anyway. Look forward to hearing about yours.
Thank you,

The requester has asked specifically for the "raw data" used to make our flood maps. The requester does not
want the flood maps that PWD has already done up.
Below is a very good explanation from Marian Drouillard of the flooding history in the City and how PWD
handled and used the data. My read on this is that there is no raw data from 2000 to 2010, however maps
exist that show various flood calls. After June 4,2010 (the date of the big rain), information was compiled by
Public Works from various sources and plotted on flood maps. This plotting of flood maps appears to continue
with info coming from 31 t capturing anything with the word flood in the complaint column.
Since this is considered a new request from the requester, I propose to have PWD complete our standard
Form 2 and use the attachments as our sample of responsive records which will allow us to send out an
interim decision letter to the requester with approximate costs associated with the responsive records.
In the letter we can explain that no raw data records exist from 2000 to 2010 (part) and records from 2011 to
2012 do exist and will cost XXXX and she has to give us 50% up front before the search is done. No final
decision will be made at this point and therefore the requester will only be able to appeal the fees and not the
disclosure of the records.
Val/Steve, are you in agreement with this approach?

Subject: samples of spreadsheets - flooding
Chuck,
Further to our conversation this afternoon, attached are some sample spreadsheets that we have from the big storm of
June 4, 2010.
1

The information to create maps was collected from 311, as well as paper surveys that residents were asked to fill out.
Immediately after the storm that weekend, a questionnaire/survey was created to ask specific questions to determine
the nature of the "flood". As they came in, a technician transferred the info on paper to a spreadsheet - an example is
attached (StandlnLRecedlng_ALL_July 13]PM_WITHXY_E_94remove dupllcates.xls).
Note the little info shown: name, address, phone number, XY values (geo-coordinates we created). Is this "raw" data?
No. I say "raw" data for this event is the combination of the survey and the full data collected by 311. But this "raw"
data has names, addresses and phone numbers, which we would not be divulging. I understand that about 1700 surveys
were completed, and these had to be matched against the same people who would have called in the same info; that's
why the file name includes the words "remove duplicates".
Take a look at the file called BasementFIoodlng2012 XY.xlxs and note that while we got this from 311 because the
criteria looked for the word "flood", not all are actually storm flood related. Some are Sewer Complaint, Property
Grading Flooding, Odours from Sewer, Tree Maintenance and so on. The system in 2012 had a field to capture a
complaint, and if the word "flood" or "flooding" was mentioned, it was added. The 148 records of flood calls really
represent only 31 calls about Storm Flooding.
Prior to 311, my office would have created a map of "basement flooding" based on information supplied to us by the
Operations department. Calls would have been received by that office after a big storm and they would have noted the
address on piece of paper. Admin staff on the third floor also received calls and these too were noted on paper.
As we moved from the year 2000 onward, and as city staff in Public Works departments became familiar with creating
spreadsheets, they might also have transferred this info into a digital format. To the best of my recollection in the years
before 311, our office received paper copies of addresses and once these were placed on a map, the addresses were
crossed off and the sheets eventually tossed out.
The maps helped Engineering staff to determine where the problem areas might be; further analysis of the age and
condition of the sewers was made and this data, along with many other considerations and criteria, helped to establish
requests for capital budget dollars for sewer rehabilitation projects. We often called this the "measles map", as it
contained a series of dots (some red).
We have no digital "raw" data for flooding before 2010. Nothing. We didn't keep the papers with the addresses and we
only have the dot on a map. This can be extracted from the map with XY values (geo-referencing) but, this is the end
result, not "raw" data. One would assume that "raw" might mean original data collected and not edited, sorted,
scrubbed or analysed. If that is the case, Geomatics has nothing "raw".
We now get info from 311, but is has already been extracted and cleaned before it comes to us to map.
I would be happy to find more samples and provide more detail about our mapping efforts as it related to the flooding
maps from 2000 to present. I think we need to have someone define "raw data" before we start collecting anything...

I received a notice of appeal from the IPC on September 3,2013, and a follow up call from the assigned
mediator today, Lois Friedman, to discuss the particulars surrounding the appeal. The appellant is the
Windsor Star and I really don't see this being resolved at the mediator stage; it may take adjudication.
The Star had asked for records pertaining to flooded basements in the City and wanted precise information on
the flooded basements. We felt it would have been an invasion of privacy to release the information and could
do the individual with the flooded basement financial harm when trying to sell their home and possibly the
Corporation that could be sued for releasing this info by the affected owner. The appellant also doesn't like
the fee either.
Usually, in circumstances like this, the IPC will deal with the fee waiver situation first and then go on to the
records at issue.
This is just a heads up that the file may be coming to you if mediation fails.

Please find attached a copy of my letter appealing they city's decision, in a letter dated July 24, to deny my request for
an excel-readable copy of the data down to the hundred-block level used to make the city's maps of locations affected
by basement flooding after major storm events over the past several years. The deadline for appealing is Friday, so I'm
planning to mail this to the Information and Privacy Commissioner via express post tomorrow. However, I'm still hoping
the city will reconsider the decision, in which case I will be more than happy to cancel the formal appeal.
My editor Roseann Danese has requested a meeting with the mayor regarding this request. This letter should prOVide

Thanks very much, Chuck. My editor Roseann is going to call the mayor to discuss this. We're planning to appeal the

Yes it does. The decision letter you have refers to the maps we talked about without the hundred blocks for the reasons

Thank you. I received the letter after I sent the email this morning.
I noticed it doesn't make any mention of my request for the data used to make the maps, or my email to Mr. ~ r p e l l i
on July 22 informing him that my editor and I are of the opinion that the maps with street names redacted don't provide
enough information and asking him to please consider releasing the data used to make the maps, with hundred-blocks
in place of full addresses. Since the letter is dated two days after I sent that email, I'm a little confused. Does it mean my
request for the data at the hundred-block level is denied?
Sincerely,
Claire Brownell

Hi Chuck,
Thanks for all your hard work on this file so far and the offer to come look at the maps tomorrow morning. I've spoken
with Roseann and we agree that there's no need for me to come tomorrow if the maps don't show residential street
names. I understand your concern about privacy, but I strongly believe that my original request for data down to the
laO-block level, but without actual specific addresses, would balance the need to safeguard personal information with
the public's right to know what blocks are being repeatedly affected by flooding. I know of many precedents for
municipalities releasing data down to the lOa-block level in response to public records requests -I can send you some
examples if you'd like.
The data itself, as opposed to printouts of images of the maps, would also be much more useful to me since it would
allow me to do analysis with Excel. Unless I'm not understanding correctly, it should be easier and less time consuming
for public works and the FOI department to go through the data used to compile the flood maps the city's made since
2000 and replace specific addresses with hundred blocks (e.g. convert "300 Ouellette Ave." to "3XX Ouellette Ave.")
than to redact street names on an actual map. 5ince this data has already been compiled to make the maps, unlike the
311 data I originally requested, I'm hoping that would also eliminate the fee - especially since the release of this
information is in the public's interest.
Please let me know if you would reconsider. If not, we're going to contact the mayor and see if he'll authorize the
release of the data down to the lOa-block level, and/or appeal to the Information and Privacy Commissioner.
Thanks again,

Subject: Flooding and MAPPA request
Hello,
I just received the $1,499.80 fee estimate for my MFIPPA request for 311 calls reporting basement sewer backups over
the last five years. As I emailed Mario earlier this week, I think the city's flood maps made after flood events for the past
4
five years would serve my purpose almost as well as the 311 calls I requested. I understand there are some concerns
about letting me see the data points down to the exact address level. If there's a way to let me see where the flooding
occurred down to the 100-block level, that would be enough - I understand the concern about exact addresses and
don't require them.
An even better way to do it than giving me a zoomed-out map (from my perspective anyway) would be to provide me
with the data used to produce the map, but with the precise addresses X-ed out (e.g. replace "300 Ouellette Ave" with
"3XX Ouellette Ave."). Hopefully this would be less time consuming and therefore less expensive than my request for
the 311 call data, since it was presumably already compiled and organized to make the maps.
Mario told me this morningthe two of you would talk about this request - it would be great if you could let me know
what the outcome of that meeting was and whether you'd like me to file a new MFIPPA request.
Thank you,

Mario,
I have an estimate of 5 hours to put together the Flooding Maps from 2000 to 2011. Based on the rate provided we are
looking at around $150.00.

Mario;
The Clerk can charge $30.00 per hour for the preparation of a record for disclosure, which I believe would be
the creating of a pdf of a map (Reg. 823).
I hope the requester is prepared to pay. Let me know the costs (an estimate is fine) beforehand and I can
contact her to see if she still wants this information.
Becky will send you a Form 2 to complete in order to fill in the estimates of time, etc. and I in turn will write to
the requester outlining the estimate to see if she is still interested.
Thanks.

Chuck,
Because we have stripped down the information, we are no longer dealing with a privacy issue are we? This becomes a
product that we would create for any customer. If it is the case that it is a privacy issue then we would provide only a
paper copy for the 0.20 per copy. The reasoning behind the $26.50 per file is that the customer can print off as many
copies as they wish.
Have a good weekend,

Under the legislation we can only charge $0.20 per copy, no more than that. That amount is set by Provincial
legislation (MFIPPA). This is a common complaint by departments but we can't circumvent the Act. Our
department will charge her the set rate and she will pay us before she obtains the documents.

The one thing we did not talk about was the cost involved. Typically Geomatics would charge a customer a rate of
$26.50 per pdf file or $13.50 per llx17 print.
How do you wish to proceed with this? Will you be asking Claire which product she would like to have?

Hi Chuck,
Thanks for all your hard work on this file so far and the offer to come look at the maps tomorrow morning. I've spoken
with Roseann and we agree that there's no need for me to come tomorrow ifthe maps don't show residential street
names. I understand your concern about privacy, but Istrongly believe that my original request for data down to the
100-block level, but without actual specific addresses, would balance the need to safeguard personal information with
the public's right to know what blocks are being repeatedly affected by flooding. I know of many precedents for
municipalities releasing data down to the lOO-block level in response to public records requests -I can send you some
examples if you'd like.
The data itself, as opposed to printouts of images of the maps, would also be much more useful to me since it would
allow me to do analysis with Excel. Unless I'm not understanding correctly, it should be easier and less time consuming
for public works and the FOI department to go through the data used to compile the flood maps the city's made since
2000 and replace specific addresses with hundred blocks (e.g. convert "300 Ouellette Ave." to "3XX Ouellette Ave.")
than to redact street names on an actual map. Since this data has already been compiled to make the maps, unlike the
1
311 data I originally requested, I'm hoping that would also eliminate the fee - especially since the release of this
information is in the public's interest.
Please let me know if you would reconsider. If not, we're going to contact the mayor and see if he'll authorize the
release of the data down to the lOa-block level, and/or appeal to the Information and Privacy Commissioner.
Thanks again,

Subject: Flooding and MFIPPA request
Hello,
I just received the $1,499.80 fee estimate for my MFIPPA request for 311 calls reporting basement sewer backups over
the last five years. As I emailed Mario earlier this week, I think the city's flood maps made after flood events for the past
five years would serve my purpose almost as well as the 311 calls I requested. I understand there are some concerns
about letting me see the data points down to the exact address level. If there's a way to let me see where the flooding
occurred down to the 100-block level, that would be enough -I understand the concern about exact addresses and
don't require them.
An even better way to do it than giving me a zoomed-out map (from my perspective anyway) would be to provide me
with the data used to produce the map, but with the precise addresses X-ed out (e.g. replace "300 Ouellette Ave" with
"3XX Ouellette Ave."). Hopefully this would be less time consuming and therefore less expensive than my request for
the 311 call data, since it was presumably already compiled and organized to make the maps.
Mario told me this morning the two of you would talk about this request - it would be great if you could let me know
what the outcome of that meeting was and whether you'd like me to file a new MFIPPA request.

I have beel'l notified by the Public Works Department that creating the maps will take approximately five hours
which will translate into an estimate of $150.00. I wanted to give you a heads up before we do the actual
work.

Subject: Flooding and MAPPA request
Hello,
I just received the $1,499.80 fee estimate for my MFIPPA request for 311 calls reporting basement sewer backups over
the last five years. As I emailed Mario earlier this week, I think the city's flood maps made after flood events forthe past
five years would serve my purpose almost as well as the 311 calls I requested. I understand there are some concerns
about letting me see the data points down to the exact address level. If there's a way to let me see where the flooding
occurred down to the 100-block level, that would be enough - I understand the concern about exact addresses and
don't require them.
An even better way to do it than giving me a zoomed-out map (from my perspectiveanyway) would be to provide me
with the data used to produce the map, but with the precise addresses X-ed out (e.g. replace "300 Ouellette Ave" with
"3XX Ouellette Ave."). Hopefully this would be less time consuming and therefore less expensive than my request for
the 311 call data, since it was presumably already compiled and organized to make the maps.

Milrio told me this morning the two of you would talk about this request - it would be great if you could let me know
what the outcome of that meeting was and whether you'd like me to file a new MFIPPA request.

The Clerk can charge $30.00 per hour for the preparation of a record for disclosure, which I believe would be
the creating of a pdf of a map (Reg. 823).
I hope the requester is prepared to pay. Let me know the costs (an estimate is fine) beforehand and I can
contact her to see if she still wants this information.

Becky will send you a Form 2 to complete in order to fill in the estimates of time, etc. and I in turn will write to
the requester outlining the estimate to see if she is still interested.

Because we have stripped down the information, we are no longer dealing with a privacy issue are we? This becomes a
product that we would create for any customer. If it is the case that it is a privacy issue then we would provide only a
paper copy for the 0.20 per copy. The reasoning behind the $26.50 per file is that the customer can print off as many
copies as they wish.
Have a good weekend,

Under the legislation we can only charge $0.20 per copy, no more than that. That amount is set by Provincial
legislation (MFIPPA). This is a common complaint by departments but we can't circumvent the Act. Our
department will charge her the set rate and she will pay us before she obtains the documents.

The one thing we did not talk about was the cost involved. Typically Geomatics would charge a customer a rate of

The Clerk can charge $30.00 per hour for the preparation of a record for disclosure, which I believe would be
the creating of a pdf of a map (Reg. 823).
r I hope the requester is prepared to pay. Let me know the costs (an estimate is fine) beforehand and I can
contael her to see if she still wants this information.
Becky will send you a Form 2 to complete in order to fill in the estimates of time, etc. and I in turn will'write to
the requester outlining the estimate to see if she is still interested:
Thanks.

Subject: Flooding and MAPPA request
Hello, '
I just received the $1,499.80 fee estimate for my MFIPPA request for 311 calls reporting basement sewer backups over
the last five years. As I emailed Mario earlier this week, I think the city's flood maps made after flood events for the past
five years would serve my purpose almost as well as the 311 calls I requested. I understand there are some concerns
about letting me see the data points down to the exact address level. If there's a way to let me see where the flooding
occurred down to the 100-block level, that would be enough - I understand the concern about exact addresses and
don't require them.
An even better way to do it than giving me a zoomed-out map (from my perspective anyway) would be to provide me
with the data used to produce the map, but with the precise addresses X-ed out (e.g. replace "300 Ouellette Ave" with
"3XX Ouellette Ave."). Hopefully this would be less time consuming and therefore less expensive than my request for
the 311 call data, since it was presumably already compiled and organized to make the maps.
Mario told me this morning the two of you would talk about this request - it would be great if you could let me know
what the outcome of that meeting was and whether you'd like me to file a new MFIPPA request.
Thank you,

Because we have stripped down the information, we are no longer dealing with a privacy issue are we? This becomes a
product that we would create for any customer. If it is the case that it is a privacy issue then we would provide only a
paper copy for the 0.20 per copy. The reasoning behind the $26.50 per file is that the customer can print off as many
copies as they wish.
Have a good weekend,

Under the legislation we can only charge $0.20 per copy, no more than that. That amount is set by Provincial

An FOI request has come into our office from a requester and I need to know if your department has a
spreadsheet of sorts that shows the following items:
Calls that came into 311 Call Center regarding flooding
Including location
Type of flooding
Action taken by the City.
She asked for 311 calls but based on the other items requested I thought maybe you would have a
spreadsheet showing all of the information or know of a contact in Public Works of a staff person that would
have this.
