Council Meeting Minutes -3- February 27, 2006 DELEGATIONS Report #2 - Confidential Report CLD-004-06 – Personnel Matter Report #3 - Confidential Report CLD-006-06 – Personnel Matter Resolution #C-080-06 Moved by Councillor Trim, seconded by Councillor Schell THAT the agenda be altered to allow for the consideration of Confidential Reports CLD-004-06 and CLD-006-06 at this time. “CARRIED” Resolution #C-081-06 Moved by Councillor Schell, seconded by Councillor Robinson THAT Confidential Reports CLD-004-06 and ClD-006-06 be received; and THAT the usual municipal practice be approved. “CARRIED” COMMUNICATIONS Resolution #C-082-06 Moved by Councillor Trim, seconded by Councillor Schell THAT the communications to be received for information be approved as per the agenda with the exception of Items I – 8 and I – 10. “CARRIED” I - 1 Gary Dussledorp, President, Local 3139, Clarington Firefighters H04.GE Association, writing to Council regarding Bill 206 – The Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System Act, 2005. The Association feels that it is important to clarify the matter of costs as they relate to “optional benefits” as described within the Bill for the police, fire and paramedic sectors. Bill 206 was amended (Section 10.1) to limit the number of benefits available to three areas, increased accrual rate (2.33%), retirement factors (80 or 85 factor) and, better averaging salary formula (best 4 years or best 3 years). AMO still insists to count on a wide variety of costly benefits that are not prescribed within the Bill (i.e. 25 and out). Accessing these benefits will not even be a reality until 2008, should the Bill pass this spring. Council Meeting Minutes -4- February 27, 2006 COMMUNICATIONS Further Bill 206 limited the parties to negotiating only one benefit every 36 months. It is also important to note that the employee will be responsible for 50% or the same cost associated with the benefit as the employer thereby limiting the desire due to our own financial restrictions. It is their hope that Council will no longer support AMO’s continued attempts to mislead the public about the financial effects of this legislation. I - 2 The Honourable Harinder Takhar, Minister of Transportation, writing to T04.HW John O’Toole, MPP, Durham, regarding the completion of Highway 407 in Durham Region. Mr. Takhar understands that regional ministry officials advised Durham Region that the completion of the 407 East Environmental Assessment (EA) study is a priority and that the ministry is proceeding with the individual EA. In January 2005, the Minister of the Environment approved the Terms of Reference for the study. They are currently moving forward with the next phase of the EA study, which will examine all opportunities, including roads and transit, to address transportation needs in Durham Region and the surrounding areas based on a 30-year planning horizon. He also understands that Durham Region was made aware that this study would take approximately three years to complete due to its size and complexity. Once an EA approval is obtained, the design and construction phase can be planned and opportunities for acceleration can be explored. I - 3 Debi Bentley, City Clerk, City of Pickering, providing Council with a copy D02.GO of their Report PD 09-06, Places to Grow – Better Choices, Brighter Future. Proposed Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. I - 4 Rick Lea, Executive Director, Durham Region Local Training Board, providing Council with a copy of the final Durham Region Trends, Opportunities & Priorities (TOP) Report 2005. Based on community consultations last fall, the report highlights nine key training and adjustment issues for the region, current and proposed actions to address these needs, and a status report indicating progress on each issue. It is the foundation document for our community labour force planning efforts. I - 5 Minutes of the Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington meeting C06.AG dated January 12, 2006. Council Meeting Minutes -5- February 27, 2006 COMMUNICATIONS I - 6 Brian Hewson, Chief Compliance Officer, Ontario Energy Board, writing E06.VE to Council regarding the quality of electricity service by Hydro One and the possible assumption by Veridian Connections of the Hydro One Networks service area within the Municipality. In response to a Council Resolution of the Municipality received at the Ontario Energy Board on January 31, 2005, regarding concerns in Bowmanville, the Compliance Office had contacted Veridian and Hydro One. Both companies indicated that discussions on steps to be taken to address reliability were underway. With regard to the acquisition of Hydro One’s service area, this is a matter between the distributors. Once an agreement is reached an application may be made to the Board under the Ontario Energy Board Act for approval of the sale and necessary amendments to service areas. The Board does not have authority to undertake such actions on its own motion. I - 7 John Adams, Mayor, Municipality of Leamington, OSUM, inviting Council rd A04.GE to the 53 Annual OSUM Conference and Trade Show being held from May 3 – 5, 2006.

I - 11 Minutes of the Clarington Highway 407 Community Advisory Committee C06.CL meeting dated February 8, 2006. I - 12 The Honourable Dwight Duncan, Minister of Finance, advising Council of F22.GE important decisions for the 2006 taxation year related to education tax rates and municipal flexibility in setting tax policy. The government is again holding the line on education taxes ensuring that, on average, homeowners and businesses will not see an increase in the education portion of their property tax bills. The uniform residential education tax rate will be lowered to offset the average increase in residential assessed values across the province. The business education tax rates for 2006 will also be reset to account for the results of the 2006 reassessment on a municipality-by-municipality basis. The government will also provide municipalities with the flexibility they need to manage the impacts of the 2006 reassessment. Municipalities will be able to use this flexibility to avoid reassessment-related tax shifts among property classes and ease the property tax burden on residential property taxpayers. Also for 2006, municipalities with property classes subject to the levy restriction will have the flexibility to apply a municipal tax increase to those classes of up to 50 percent of any increase applied to the residential class.

These include child care support, health benefits and an opportunity for clients to keep more of what they are earning. It can be expected that municipalities will be responsible for cost sharing a number of the employment incentives and that increased administrative costs will likely also result. While AMO supports the Government’s efforts in improving the lives of people receiving social assistance, fundamentally, AMO is opposed to what is increasingly recognized as bad public policy—namely municipalities funding a service that is a provincial responsibility. Council Meeting Minutes -7- February 27, 2006 COMMUNICATIONS Municipalities continue to be exposed to provincial costs for a program that they have no control over through the current provincial-municipal cost share of the ODSP.
