Set up a new Municipal Capital Facility Agreement between the Municipality of Clarington and OAAA – Daily responsibility of the facility – Prepare a schedule of fees for approval by the Board – Submit policies to the Board for approval – Prepare and submit quarterly financial reports – Maintain a close liaison with the Board – Inform the Board any maintenance required in writing 3. Newcastle – Board of Council, 2 members of council, the manager sits in on the meetings, Arena Manager reports to the board. The Board hires, fires and approves raises. 4. John suggested a different makeup of the board as another option. Discussion was held regarding options to move forward. Insurance coverage: The Orono Arena Community Centre Board is covered under the Municipality’s Insurance. OAAA currently and has always had liability insurance. Status: Both the Arena and the OAAA have charitable status. Structure of OAAA: Orono Figure Skating has never been a part of the OAAA. They are a separate entity. OAAA runs Hockey, the facility upstairs, and Soccer. Soccer is currently under the OAAA, but sometime in the near future, soccer will be run by Darlington. The Arena Manager reports to OAAA. Al Lagace, President, OAAA is not prepared to have OAAA become the Board as in Option 2. It is getting harder and harder to recruit volunteers. Wendy Partner requested that Jackie Moore send a copy of the Bylaw to everyone on the board as a refresher. Motion to have Fred Horvath, Director of Operations and Al Lagace, President of OAAA meet to discuss the Municipal Capital Facility Agreement and report back at the next meeting, Tuesday, May 30, 2017.

Carried 2. Presentation No presentations 3. Business Arising From Minutes (a) Multi-Year Accessibility Plan The Accessibility Coordinator advised Committee members that she was seeking their input on the multi-year plan survey questions. The Coordinator provided Committee members with a copy of the questions used by York Region during their 2015 multi-year plan consultation. The Committee collaboratively suggested improvements to the questions, including different styles of questions, level of detail and the opportunity to add additional comments. The Committee mutually agreed that questions should not be too broad and that it would better to have a series of questions that probed information in specific areas. The Accessibility Coordinator thanked the Committee for their feedback and 35 Clarington Accessibility - 2 - March 1, 2017 Advisory Committee advised members she may seek additional input as questions are developed. (b) ServiceOntario Bowmanville Update Councillor Partner and the Accessibility Coordinator provided the Committee with a brief update about the status of ServiceOntario Bowmanville. The Committee was advised that they had received emails and phone calls from various people stating that there are plans in place to address the accessibility issues in the spring. The Accessibility Coordinator advised the Committee that she had sent an invitation, on behalf of the Committee, to Minister Tracy MacCharles. It invited her to take a look at the ServiceOntario Bowmanville, in its current state. To-date, no response has been received and it’s unclear if the Minister would be willing to tour the Bowmanville location prior to the fixes being made. The Accessibility Coordinator advised the Committee that she will keep them updated with any developments. The Committee discussed and agreed that although they are deeply disappointed that the new location of ServiceOntario Bowmanville is far from accessible, their goal is to ensure it is made accessible. By focusing on the end goal, an accessible location, the Committee agreed it was the best course of action to ensure positive change. (c) National Access Awareness Week The Committee was asked if there were any other ideas for activities/events for National Access Awareness Week, which is May 29-June 2, 2017. Sally Barrie pointed out that the Committee agreed to attend Maple Fest, which is May 6 th and if they add too much to National Access Awareness Week it may not work out very well given that everyone is a volunteer with limited time. The Committee mutually agreed that they will seek to have National Access Awareness week proclaimed, have their flag raised, do social media outreach and give a delegation to Council on May 29th. Committee members asked André O’Bumsawin if he would feel comfortable giving the delegation again this year since his presentation was so well received by Council last year. André O’Bumsawin agreed to give the delegation but asked for assistance in creating the presentation. The Accessibility Coordinator suggested that the delegation focus on the update to the Multi-Year Plan; Committee members mutually agreed this was an appropriate topic to speak on. The Committee requested that time be allotted on next month’s agenda to work on the presentation. 36 Clarington Accessibility - 3 - March 1, 2017 Advisory Committee 4. New Business (a) Snow Removal + Accessibility Tim Van Leeuwen expressed his concern about the accessibility of sidewalks during the winter months. He showed the Committee several photos demonstrating his concerns. André O’Bumsawin agreed with the concerns raised and discussed similar issues where he lives. The Committee agreed that the pictures shown demonstrated a significant barrier for people with and without disabilities. There was a brief discussion on the various types of people that conduct snow clearing in the winter months which contribute to the issues brought forward. Some roads are plowed by the Region, others are plowed by the Municipality, bus stops are maintained by contractors for Durham Region Transit and sidewalks are largely contracted out by the Municipality or are the responsibility of property owners. The combination of service providers responsible for snow clearing seems to be contributing to many of the issues raised by Tim Van Leeuwen and André O’Bumsawin. As the Council liaison to the Operations Department, Councillor Partner offered to discuss the issue at her next meeting with the Operations Department Head. The Committee appreciated the offer and asked that she report back to the Committee. (b) Federal Consultation on the Canadians with Disabilities Act The Accessibility Coordinator provided Committee members with a brief summary of the February 8th Federal Consultation on the Canadians with Disabilities Act. The Committee was provided a copy of the Coordinators notes from the event and went over some of the highlights. A brief discussion about the direction of the new legislation took place. The Coordinator promised to keep the Committee up-to-date on the development of the legislation as information is made available. 5. Regional Update (a) Regional Updates André O’Bumsawin advised the Committee that he interviewed for a position on the Durham AAC and expects Council to approve his nomination at their next meeting. André O’Bumsawin stated he attended the most recent Durham AAC meeting and although he was not allowed to vote, he was impressed with the amount of work going into the Regions new website. The Regional AAC recently appointed a new Chair for the year and will receive a presentation on accessible housing at their March AAC meeting. 37 Clarington Accessibility - 4 - March 1, 2017 Advisory Committee (b) Regional AAC Minutes A copy of the January Regional AAC Minutes were distributed to the Committee for review. 6. Other Business No other business discussed. 7. Date of Next Meeting Wednesday April 5, 2017 at 6:30 PM. 8. Adjournment Moved by Sally Barrie seconded by Maureen Reed That the meeting adjourn.

As part of the CEC Environmental Cooperation’s project a workshop was held to gather municipal representatives and partners from the 3 nations to learn about and work to expand the Mayors Monarch Pledge initiative across Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The seven Canadian municipalities that have signed the Mayor’s Monarch Pledge were invited to attend along with representatives from the US and Mexico. Peter Windolf attended on behalf of Clarington and gave a presentation about the action items that Clarington, through the SWNA Committee, is undertaking to preserve and enhance monarch habitat. The workshop provided opportunities for municipalities to share ideas and approaches for monarch conservation. A field trip to witness a large scale restoration project and citizen science monitoring effort was also part of the workshop. Come Fly with Me-Monarch Butterfly Event-April 9 One of the actions selected by the SWNA committee as part of the Mayors Monarch Pledge is to “Launch a public communication effort to encourage citizens to plant monarch gardens at their homes or in their neighborhoods.” On April 9 at 2:00PM at the Newcastle and District Recreation Centre the SWNA committee will host a Monarch Butterfly presentation led by SWNA committee member Tom Hossie. The presentation will include information about what the community can do to enhance habitat for monarchs. The event flyer has been distributed to SWNA members and has been advertised on the SWNA social media platforms and the Clarington web site. The flyer will also be posted at Clarington libraries. Brian Reid has advised the Durham Field Naturalists and the Probus Club of the event. GRCA will also post the event flyer at some of their locations. Committee members who are available are requested to arrive at 1:15 to help direct people to the room. Fall Monarch Event (September 10) Another of the action items selected by the SWNA committee was, “Initiate or support citizen-science efforts that help monitor monarch migration and health.” The September 10 event will include capturing and tagging monarchs at the SWNA during their migration through the area on route to Mexico. The GRCA has agreed to lend 24-30 butterfly nets for the day. P. Windolf will arrange to pick them up from GRCA in early September. 40 SWNA March 2017 Minutes 3 Milkweed seed distribution Brian Reid has approximately 3000 milkweed seeds collected from the site last year.

Background The urbanization of Middle Road was identified in Clarington’s 2015 Development Charges Update as project 62 and was forecasted as a 2016 project. Attachment 2 of this report shows the limits of the project. The urbanization includes the provision of storm and sanitary sewers, new granular road base, hot mix asphalt, concrete curb, gutter and sidewalks. The storm and sanitary sewers are oversized and extra deep to accommodate development adjacent to Middle Road north of Concession Rd 3. Funding for the oversized sewers, sanitary sewers and watermain will be provided by the benefiting land owners in accordance with the Cost Sharing Principles Report prepared by D.G. Biddle & Associates Ltd, dated November 29, 2016. The reconstruction of Middle Road (Account No. 110-32-330-83268-7401) was approved in the 2016 Capital Budget at $3,000,000 with an estimated amount of $750,000 of external financing and $2,250,000 as Clarington’s share to be funded through development charges and reserve funds. Based on progress of the design submissions for developments in the Northglen Neighbourhood east and west of Middle Road north of Concession Road 3 and the high demand for residential housing in Bowmanville, Clarington staff investigated options for expediting the provision of the municipal infrastructure necessary to service the developing neighbourhood. The goal would be to have servicing completed early enough in the year to allow for building permits to be issued in these new areas in the fall of 2017. The option that appears to be the most advantageous is to have Hardco Construction, the contractor working on the reconstruction of Scugog Street, CL2016-26, continue working northerly on Middle Road once they are past Concession Road 3. There are several benefits to this option: • Cost savings with the removal of the need for temporary throwaway works at the intersection at Concession Road 3 as the contractor would just carry on working and not have to place temporary works at the intersection as well as savings on staff time associated with this temporary work • Cost savings of having 2016 competitive pricing carried through 2017 Municipality of Clarington Report EGD-008-17 Page 3 • Cost savings of not having to have a contractor demobilize and another one mobilize to the site • Time savings with the removal of the full tender and award process which could save between 5 to 8 weeks • 5 to 8 week reduction in the length of disruption to road network for users in the area • Municipal infrastructure needed for developments will be in place earlier allowing for earlier issuance of building permits and collection of development charges. The Middle Road reconstruction will provide infrastructure and access to over 650 housing units adding to economic development in Clarington. • Elimination of potential “Constructor” issues as the same contractor would be doing both works north and south of Concession Road 3 • Extension of the contract to Hardco also eliminates the need for the Scugog Street works to be completely finished before the Middle Road works could start. The completion date for the Scugog Street works is June 16, 2017 which provides an additional time savings of roughly 4 weeks (12 weeks total). After considering this option Hardco Construction was approached to see if they would consider holding their 2016 pricing for the works on Middle Road to which they replied they would. Based on the pricing from CL2016-26, which was obtained through a competitive bid process, the cost of the work to complete the reconstruction of Middle Road from Concession Road 3 to 1 km north would be $2,998,362.88 (incl. HST), or $2,801,613.76 (blended HST). The term blended HST is used as Clarington receives an HST rebate and the developers do not through this contract. Clarington’s Share of the works would be $1,781,244.68 (net HST) for a total of $1,956,244.68 when including a 10% contingency of $175,000. When compared to the allocated budget this would leave roughly $290,000 of unexpended funds from this development charge project. A more detailed breakdown to be provided to Finance to provide necessary information for tracking of Tangible Capital Assets (TCA). 2. Proposal The proposal would be to exercise Section 22 (f) of purchasing by-law 2015-022 to award the Middle Road reconstruction works to Hardco Construction through a separate contract based on the extension of pricing form CL2016-26. Municipality of Clarington Report EGD-008-17 Page 4 3.Concurrence This report has been reviewed by the Director of Finance/Treasurer, Director of Corporate Services/HR and the Municipal Solicitor who all concur with the recommendations. 4.Conclusion It is respectfully recommended that the Middle Road reconstruction works from Concession Road 3 to 1 km north be awarded to Hardco Construction in the amount of $2,998,362.88 (incl. HST), or $2,801,613.76 (blended HST) based on the extension of pricing from the works south of this project covered under contract CL2016-26. 5.

Here’s the details of the plan: • Sweeper and flusher trucks will be out today beginning at 11 a.m. to sweep and clean the roads in the neighbourhood. • The construction site has been stabilized and there are no signs of blowing dust at this time. The Municipality will continue to monitor the site on a regular basis to ensure the developer is proactively implementing dust control measures. • A tanker truck filled with water will also be on site to assist with dust control. • The Municipality is working with the developer to implement additional dust control measures that will be in place throughout construction. The soil in the development area has been tested and determined to be ‘clean fill.’ The Municipality of Clarington has been in contact with the Region of Durham Health Department and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change to advise them of the situation. Clarington is requesting that the soil at the development site is retested. Residents who have incurred damages to property during the dust storm can contact the Municipality of Clarington’s Clerk’s Department or Clarington’s Manager of Construction Tony Ricciardi and begin the claims process. The Municipality of Clarington has set up a page on the website and will issue any updates on the cleaning process in the Liberty Crossings neighbourhood. Visit www.clarington.net/dustcontrol for the latest information. “Clarington staff have been working closely with residents and answering their questions and concerns throughout this process,” explained Director of Engineering Anthony Cannella. “Dust at construction sites is inevitable, however, in this situation, dry weather combined with high-winds created a unique combination that surpassed mitigation measures. Clarington will continue to monitor this situation and update residents as necessary,” said Director Cannella. In light of this unique weather situation, the Municipality of Clarington will revise its dust control protocols to make sure they address a variety of weather and environmental circumstances. Connect with us: www.facebook.com/MunofClarington www.twitter.com/ClaringtonON www.clarington.net What is currently being done to clean up the neighbourhood from the dust and silt? General cleanup of the roads in the neighbourhood has begun. Sweeper and flusher trucks have been sent to sweep and wash the roads. A tanker truck filled with water will also be on site to assist with dust control. The Municipality continues to monitor the site on a regular basis to ensure the developer is proactively implementing dust control measures. What is the current situation at the site? Is there a lot of dust? The construction site has been stabilized and there are no signs of blowing dust at this time. The Municipality will continue ongoing monitoring to ensure the developer continues with dust suppression measures. What caused this to happen? A combination of weather events caused this unusual situation. Weather fluctuations with a lack of snow cover, dry conditions and high winds combined forced a lot of the dust and silt from the construction site on Concession Road 3 and Middle Road to disperse to the nearby residential neighbourhood. Does the Municipality have dust control measures in place? Yes. Each developer has to abide by a set of dust control measures. This does not mean that dust from construction will be completely eliminated, the aim is to keep it under control. In this circumstance, the unusual weather presented a challenge. Were other areas in the Municipality affected? There are several sites across Clarington that are under development and prepping for construction. Municipal staff went out to these locations to check on dust levels. No other areas of concern were identified during these inspections. Who is going to pay for the cleanup? The developer will cover the cost of the cleanup to the roads and sidewalks in the neighbourhood. What about residents who have incurred their own cleanup costs, will they receive compensation? Residents who have incurred damages to property during the dust storm can contact the Municipality of Clarington’s Clerk’s Department or Clarington’s Manager of Construction Tony Ricciardi and begin the claims process. Why was this developer allowed to clear the land completely in preparation for construction? Surely this practice aided in blowing dust? This is standard practice for all development sites. The land is cleared in preparation for development. Each site is unique. Some are protected by woodlots; others are in the midst of established neighbourhoods that offer protection. This particular site is large and open, the combination of weather factors fuelled the blowing dust. Does the Municipality have a plan moving forward? The Municipality will continue to monitor the site to ensure cleanup and mitigation measures are being implemented. We will issue any updates regarding the situation on a web page dedicated to this at www.clarington.net/dustcontrol Staff are working to refine Clarington’s dust control measures to ensure they take into account different weather patterns as well as seasonal weather changes. Some residents are concerned about negative health effects of this dust, what is the Municipality doing to address this? The Municipality of Clarington has contacted the Region of Durham Health Department and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change to advise them of the situation. The soil found at the development site has been tested and determined to be ‘clean fill.’ Clarington is requesting that the soil at the site be retested. Who do I contact with more questions?
