Council Meeting Minutes -2- January 30, 2006
MAYOR’S STATE OF CLARINGTON ADDRESS
Mayor Mutton stated that in 2006 Clarington can look forward to a strong economic
growth with 700,000 sq. ft. of commercial development and the possible
announcement of the Environmental Assessment for CANDU newbuild.
Mayor Mutton highlighted various departmental activities, as follows:
PLANNING SERVICES DEPARTMENT
?
CIP Plans moving forward with the Municipality's Grant program providing for
improved commercial facades, new signage and improvements to heritage
buildings in historic downtowns. Almost $35,000 in grants were approved in Orono
and Bowmanville in 2005;
?
Environmental stewardship programs with the Municipality working with residents
and businesses to improve the health of our ecosystems by restoring creek valleys
and natural areas;
?
As the development of existing neighbourhoods planned in the 80's is nearing
completion, three new neighbourhoods are in the planning stages. The
Municipality is proceeding to adopt "new urbanist" development standards that will
allow for more walkable, better designed neighbourhoods. Brookhill and Northglen
in Bowmanville and North Village in Newcastle are now under consideration by the
Municipality;
?
Great progress has been made on acquiring new waterfront lands that will allow us
to develop a waterfront park to open in 2007. Expropriations are an unfortunate
but necessary part of providing the land base for major waterfront parks. In
Newcastle, additional lands have been acquired to expand the Bond Head
parkette; and
?
The Municipality is responding to major planning policy initiatives of senior levels
of government. The Province's “Places to Grow” is designed to stem sprawl,
provide critical transportation infrastructure with an emphasis on transit and to
provide resources to rejuvenate old city centres. We continue to lack, however,
the strong fiscal tools required to reflect our 21st century responsibilities and the
needs and expectations of our residents.
EMERGENCY SERVICES DEPARTMENT
?
Amendment to the Ontario Fire Code comes into effect March 1, 2006 which will
require residential dwelling units to have a working smoke alarm on EVERY
storey. This is in addition to the existing requirement of having smoke alarms
outside ALL sleeping areas. Penalties for not having working smoke alarms in all
the required locations will result in a $235. ticket and/or an Ontario Fire Code
charge of up to $25,000.
Council Meeting Minutes -3- January 30, 2006
COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT
Newcastle Recreation Facility
?
Design of this new facility is currently underway by Shore, Tilbe, Irwin Partners;
?
Final design to be completed in late spring to be tendered in the summer; and
?
Facility is scheduled for completion late in 2007.
Brian McFarlane Hockey Museum
?
Construction of the building and the development of the interior museum design
is to be completed for the Fall 2006; and
?
Marketing Dynamics is currently working with staff on the development of a
marketing plan for the operation of the museum.
Program Highlights
?
Partnership with Lakeridge Health Oshawa in providing a cardiac rehabilitation
program at the Bowmanville Indoor Soccer Facility;
?
Initiating the Parks and Recreation Ontario “High Five” program that will provide
staff the necessary tools to offer children quality assured leisure programs; and
?
Teen Fit Club program designed for teens 13 – 17 offering a program geared to
healthy lifestyle and active living.
Future Facilities Planning
?
The Treasurer and Director of Community Services have been asked to
investigate the possible repurposing of the Darlington Arena with a twin pad
replacement to be built in the short term.
ENGINEERING SERVICES DEPARTMENT
Building Permits – 2005
?
In 2005 we issued 1150 building permits for a construction value of $203.2 million;
and
?
Industrial building permits were up 408%.
Council Meeting Minutes -4- January 30, 2006
Engineering Forecast 2006
?
Clarington Staff have been successful in convincing GO Transit to provide
express bus service from Bowmanville directly to the Oshawa GO Train station
in Oshawa. GO Transit intends to run three express buses from Bowmanville
directly to the GO Train in the morning, and three more back to Bowmanville in
the evening. The service which will commence shortly will include the
construction of a Park and Ride Parking lot that will accommodate 85 vehicles.
The lot, which is being constructed south of the Clarington Corners plaza, on
Prince William Blvd., will also offer a heated shelter, with innovative new, solar
powered lighting;
?
Clarington Transit has been successfully handed over to the Region of Durham
and a seamless and integrated regional transit service across Durham is now a
reality that includes the residents of Clarington;
?
Clarington will work with the Province to identify short term remedial
improvements to our interchanges for inclusion in the MTO 2006 budget
process. Also, the MTO will commission a detailed corridor study that will
identify major capital improvements for the future;
?
Construction of the Mill Street underpass is proceeding in stages with the first
stage being the relocation of the watermain. The balance of the project will
include two additional stages; the first will be the extension of major culverts
and the final stage will be the construction of the road and underpass. The
culvert work is expected to occur this summer and the road underpass works
are expected to commence in the fall of 2006;
?
The Green Road/Baseline Road project includes the reconstruction of the
intersection, lowering it by 14 feet and the construction of Green Road from
Baseline Road north of the railway;
?
Development of the West Bowmanville area (Home Depot), will initiate the
construction of Green Road northerly from Hwy #2 and Stevens Road from
Green Road to Regional Road #57;
?
2006 will see the completion of Phase 1 of the Bowmanville Community Park
with 4 tournament quality, lighted ball fields. The Grand Opening of Phase 1 will
be held on June 10, 2006. In 2006 the lighted football field will be constructed
providing a permanent home for the Clarington Tiger Cats Football Club. Future
phases will include a major outdoor soccer complex on the east portion of the
site;
Council Meeting Minutes -5- January 30, 2006
?
In 2005 we completed another section of new recreational trail, this time along
the Soper Creek Valley from King Street to Soper Creek Park. This is the first
phase of a Soper Creek trail system that will eventually extent another 2km
north into the St. Stephen’s neighbourhood. Future plans include extending
both the Bowmanville Creek and Soper Creek trails south to connect with the
Waterfront Trail; and
?
Three new neighbourhood parks were completed in 2005. Pearce Farm Park
and Brookhouse Parkette in Newcastle, and Barlow Court Parkette in
Bowmanville are now open for public use.
Other 2006 park projects of interest
?
New ball diamond lighting at Harvey Jackson Park in Kendal;
?
The design and site selection for a skateboard park in Courtice will occur in
2006 with construction anticipated in 2007; and
?
Construction of the first phase of the Port of Newcastle Waterfront Park will
occur in 2006. The main component of phase 1 will be the construction of a
recreational trail overlooking the Lake from Toronto Street to the Marina. The
trail will also be extended north along the Graham Creek to connect with Port of
Newcastle Drive.
PUBLIC MEETING
A Public Meeting is being held to hear concerns and comments with respect to the
Municipality's by-law to stop up and close a portion of Winnstanley Street identified as
Parts 22 and 23 on Reference Plan 40R-23873 situated in Lot 9, Concession 2,
Former Town of Bowmanville and to authorize the conveyance of Part 22 on

Council Meeting Minutes -6- January 30, 2006
PRESENTATIONS
Roger Anderson, Durham Regional Chair, provided Council with his annual State of
the Union Address. Mr. Anderson reflected on events from 2005 and the challenges
facing Durham Region in 2006 as follows:
Events in 2005:
? Signing of the Gas Tax Agreement - Durham Region will receive 4.9 million in gas
tax funds;
? Signing of the Memorandum of Understanding on Affordable Housing;
? Provincial Rental Subsidy Program – rental and supportive housing projects;
? Reforms to the Planning Act and the Ontario Municipal Board – the OMB’s role will
be shifted to reviewing municipal decisions for errors, rather than a decision maker;
? Attorney General’s announcement for the new Durham Courthouse in Oshawa;
? Regional Headquarters was completed on time and within budget;
? Transition to Regional Transit – five existing transit operations under one umbrella
allows residents to cross the Region on a single DRT ticket for $2.50;
? The Region submitted the Terms of Reference for Environmental Assessment of a
residual waste facility in partnership with York Region;
? The Region participated with Clarington and Pickering, in the Nuclear Waste
Management Organizations to a solution for long-term storage of used nuclear fuel;
? Rural Development Strategy – the Region is working hard to support farmers and
raise the profile of our rural business.
Durham Region in 2006:
? Working with Durham Farm Fresh Association to develop “Savour Durham” – as
part of Ontario’s culinary tourism strategy;
? Construction of the Courtice Water Pollution Control Plant – largest regional capital
project;
? Clarington and the Region hope to see new nuclear investment at Darlington –
prospect of expanded nuclear facilities in response to the energy gap;
? Investment in infrastructure is the key to Durham’s economic development – road
projects include rehabilitation work on Regional Roads 3, 9, and 42.
Challenges in 2006:
? Municipalities continue to fall behind on infrastructure investment – federal and
provincial governments required to address the fundamental under-funding of
responsibilities loaded onto municipalities and secure commitments made by the
previous government for gas tax, infrastructure programs and child care spaces;
Council Meeting Minutes -7- January 30, 2006
? The Clean Water Act would empower new restrictions on land uses in source
protection zones and the responsibility and expense of enforcing restrictions to the
municipalities – municipal participation is required to obtain the objectives;
? Project Beacon and other research initiatives (hybrid cars) will bring new jobs to the
Region.
In closing, Mr. Anderson stated gun violence is on the rise along with the potential
health threat of the Avian Flu; these are difficult problems. Working in partnership with
Durham Regional Police and the Health Department these issues will give us the
ability to deal with natural disasters and other events beyond our control.
Mayor Mutton presented Mark Hendrikx, President, Martha Hendrikx, Secretary,
Karen Bastas, Treasurer, and Tom Broadfoot of the Newcastle Santa Claus Parade
Committee a “Citation of Community Spirit” in recognition of the wonderful sense of
st
community spirit and success of the 1 Annual Newcastle Santa Claus Parade.
Resolution #C-030-06
Moved by Councillor Robinson, seconded by Councillor Foster
THAT Julie Jones and Dave Hardy, Hardy Stevenson and Associates Ltd. be added to

“CARRIED”
DELEGATIONS
Gerry Mahoney advised prior to the meeting that he would not be addressing Council
with respect to the Port Granby Project.
Sarwan Sahota, South East Clarington Ratepayers Association, addressed Council
regarding Report PSD-007-06 - Port Granby Project and stated the following
outstanding concerns:
? storing of low-level radioactive waste in an engineered mound is experimental;
? the lack of a bottom double liner;
? no mention of the development of a contingency plan; and
? should the Low Level Radioactive Waste Management Organization make changes
from the preferred conceptual design to a detailed engineering design, will the
Municipality have the power to intervene?
In closing, Mr. Sahota is requesting the Municipality ask the authorities to establish an
Assessment Review Panel to assess the viability of the conceptual design, Council
approve an acceptable preferred option, in principle only, and require the LLRWMO to
submit the final engineering design for the Port Granby Project before proceeding with
the construction phase.
Council Meeting Minutes -8- January 30, 2006
Harvey Thompson advised prior to the meeting that he would not be addressing
Council with respect to the Port Granby Project.
Barb Spencer advised prior to the meeting that she would not be addressing Council
with respect to the Port Granby Project.
John Stephenson addressed Council regarding Report PSD-007-06 – Port Granby
Project and stated the following observations/comments:
? original design was said to consist of three layers; however, now contains
only two layers; and
? inconsistencies in the Municipal Peer Review Team Report; the soils are not
suitable for capillary liner.
In closing, Mr. Stephenson is requesting two new layers be added to the original
design; a Geo-synthetic clay liner and a HDPE geo-membrane to increase the
mechanical strength of the base liner, placing an HDPE geomembrane under the
capillary layer and above the capillary break layer. Mr. Stephenson does not favour
the introduction of the capillary layer in the mound without an impermeable membrane
underneath it.
Mr. Stephenson addressed Council regarding Report PSD-009-06 – Places To Grow
stating he believes the Report is based on fundamental error derived from Modern
Economic Theory. He stated that the world we live in is changing and the three main
elements to this change are:
? Global Warming;
? Global Population; and
? World Oil Supply.
In closing, Mr. Stephenson stated a good planning process will start moving our
communities in the direction of sustainable (or steady state) life styles and economies.
Afrika Nieves-Bentley, addressed Council requesting financial support for Leaders
Today that will be sending twenty five students who will be travelling to Kenya to help
build a school. In order to raise funds, Afrika is hosting a guest speaker at her school

peacekeeper and assistant to Lt. General Romeo Dallaire, the man who led the UN
mission in Rwanda.
Julie Jones was in attendance but advised Council she would not be speaking.
Dave Hardy, Hardy Stevenson and Associates, presented a slide show to Council
regarding the “Peer Review of the Enhanced Facility Design”. The purpose of
Council Meeting Minutes -9- January 30, 2006
Mr. Hardy’s delegation was to provide a progress report; share findings of the
Municipal Peer Review Team regarding enhanced facility design versus the double
liner, and review the team’s recommended design enhancements and suggestions for
engineering studies during detailed design. Mr. Hardy advised the following:
?
Conclusions – Enhanced Facility Design
- provides a safe and durable facility;
- protects underlying till and prevents leachate from contaminating
groundwater; and
- ensures redundancy of the overall system.
?
Double Liner
- Concerns regarding long term institutional controls and precipitation
entering the mound;
?
Strengths of Enhance Facility Design
- engineering has shifted to “prevention” and away from cure;
- reduces amount of leachate produced in the mound
- provides an effective backup for the cover system
- operates passively based on natural capillary action and is durable
- lessens the reliance on institutional controls
- constructed using local materials recycled from the cell excavation
- not exposed to the elements nor to leachate
- active monitoring system
- repairable
