called but was not present at this time. He addressed Council later
in the meeting.
Jeff Wills, 33 Beech Avenue, Bowmanville, L 1 C 3A 1 addressed
Council with respect to Report PSD-058-04. Mr. Wills feels
citizens have been misled and stated the following:
outside the area, some Bowmanville homes have been replaced
and small houses are destroyed and rebuilt
district designation is the only way to legally enforce
conservation
nothing currently exits to stop him from destroying his house
property value does not limit buyers; communities across the
province show the value increased
insurance companies reassured him that designation of an area
would have no negative effect
Bill 60 ensures municipalities will follow the proper process.
Mr. Wills feels designation would be an asset for Bowmanville and
Phase 2 must be completed.
Stephen Brickell, 27 Beech Avenue, Bowmanville, L 1 C 3A 1
addressed Council regarding Report PSD-058-04. Mr. Brickell
became a resident of this neighbourhood two years ago and
specifically chose a LACAC designated home. He stated the
limitations are outweighed by the benefits of Heritage Designation
based on the following:
houses have been torn down in nice communities and
neighborhoods have been destroyed
everyone is concerned and should move forward to preserve
this historical area in Bowmanville as it will not last long without
protection
insurance cost was not an issue
Mr. Brickell stated the survey was intimidating in the way it was
presented to the neighbourhood.
Laurie Cook, 35 Beech Avenue, Bowmanville, L 1 C 3A 1 addressed
Council in regard to Report PSD-058-04 and informed Council that
he is neither for nor against Heritage Designation. Mr. Cook is
willing to go through the process, but his concerns are about a
neighbourhood with different ideas on how to achieve what is good
for the community. Should the process be stopped we would not

know if good things could come from Heritage Designation as the
survey did not state what designation is. Therefore, he believes it
is appropriate to proceed to Phase 2.
David Reesor, 152 Wellington Street, Bowmanville, L1C 1W1
addressed Council regarding Report PSD-058-04. He stated that
Bowmanville has many heritage homes in the area. He has
attended LACAC meetings and CHO training programs and
supports "Individual Designation". He requests Council not proceed
to Phase 2 because no concrete benefits to designation have been
demonstrated.
Don Brown, 3880 Metcalf Street, Newcastle, L 1 B 1 L9 addressed
Council in regard to Report PSD-058-04. Mr. Brown has been a
resident of Newcastle for 20 years and has a strong interest in area
history. He has been a member of the Newcastle Historical
Society, Clarington Museum Board and LACAC. Mr. Brown
supports proceeding to Phase 2 for the following reasons:
pass on our heritage
Phase 2 would enable us to continue intelligent discussions
there are strong feelings about designation and the agreement
of property owners is an important process.

Moved by Councillor Schell, seconded by Councillor Trim
THAT Council recess for 10 minutes.

and input into this resolution and recommends proceeding to
Phase 2 based on the following:
guidelines provide additional tools
Phase 2 will not be finalized until information is gathered
will continue to work with the public and staff to be sure the
outcome is acceptable to all parties
not to proceed would be an injustice to the heritage of the area.

Bill Humber, 15 Beech Avenue, Bowmanville, L 1 C 3A 1 introduced
Monica Hoy, a resident in the area of Concession Street and Burk
Court, to give her support for Report PSD-058-04. Ms. Hoy stated
the following:
they are celebrating the 125th anniversary of their home and she
is appreciative of her predessors' efforts to maintain the home
Phase 2 would ensure maintenance of heritage homes to allow
people 100 years from now to share in the area's history
she welcomes the opportunity to move forward.
Ms. Hoy stated the residents are the stewards to preserve the
future and requested Councils' support in proceeding to Phase 2.
Bill Humber advised that the Older Bowmanville Neighbourhood

They are working for the current and future splendour of the area.

recommendations contained in Report PSD-058-04 to proceed to
Phase 2 of the study.
Ron Worboy, 23 Concession Street, West, Bowmanville, L 1 C 1Y6

move for the neighbourhood.
Chris Fredericks, 72 Temperance Street, Bowmanville, L 1 C 3A9
advised Council he is not in support of the recommendations
contained in Report PSD-058-04. He states the consultant's
reports did not include/represent public opinion as no one spoke
with him. He does not support Heritage Designation for the
following reasons:
misunderstanding of survey
neighbourhood does not want the process to continue
neighbourhood conflict over designation does not create a
community environment to raise children in
no assurance of guidelines.
Mr. Fredericks requests Council to move forward with other options.

Adrian Short, 67 Temperance Street, Bowmanville, L 1 C 3B1
advised Council of his support of the recommendations contained
in Report PSD-058-04 as preservation is not enough to ensure
protection of buildings from profit-minded individuals.
Andrew Kozak, 86 Concession Street, West, Bowmanville,
L 1 C 1 Y9 advised Council of his support of the recommendations
contained in Report PSD-058-04. Mr. Kozak feels Phase 2 is the

with the survey that was undertaken.
Rick James, 55 Centre Street, Bowmanville, L 1 C 2Y2 advised
Council of his support of the recommendations contained in Report

He stated that since the last Council meeting on May 17, 2004 the
survey has increased with three additional no's bringing the totals
to 104 for no and 12 for yes. He is against Designation for the
following reasons:
public support is not there
raise in insurance rates
government will have too much control
loss of control to the homeowner.
Mr. James stated the neighbourhood takes pride in their homes and
can retain the character and respect the values of the past through
more involvement from the Museum and LACAC.

and business owner since 1995 in Bowmanville, stated his
concerns to Council regarding the process leading to Report

take is clear.

P. M. Madill, Clerk, Regional Municipality of Durham, writing to the
Honourable Dalton McGuity advising that on May 5, 2004 Regional
Council passed the following resolution regarding Personal Care in
Boarding or Lodging Houses:
"WHEREAS the provision of personal care in boarding or
lodging houses, including rest and retirement homes, is
unregulated in Ontario;
WHEREAS the last time the Government of Ontario formally
studied unregulated residential accommodation was in 1991
when it struck a Commission of Inquiry that reported in 1992;
WHEREAS the recommendations of the Commission of
Inquiry, including those that addressed personal care and
safety, were never implemented;
WHEREAS boards of health and medical officers of health
regularly respond to personal care complaints in boarding or
lodging houses, including rest and retirement homes, and in
most instances have no ability to resolve these complaints;
WHEREAS the Complaints and Information Offices of the
Ontario Residential Care Association (ORCA) do not have
the authority, nor is it appropriate for them to inspect
retirement homes and enforce mandatory standards, the
latter of which only apply to ORCA member retirement
homes;
WHEREAS in December 2003, Parliamentary Assistant
Monique Smith, M.P.P., was appointed to undertake a
thorough review of Ontario's long-term care system and to
recommend practical actions to strengthen services;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Council
of the Regional Municipality of Durham urges the
Government of Ontario to formally review the need to
regulate the provision of personal care in boarding or lodging
houses, including rest and retirement homes, possibly by
expanding the scope of the long-term care facilities review
led by the Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Health
and Long-Term Care; and

Brenda J. Hamilton, CMO, Township Clerk, Loyalist Township,

Loyalist Township passed the following resolution regarding
financial relief to smaller municipalities facing increases for water
and sewer services:
.

Council Minutes

- 25 -
May 31,2004
'Whereas Loyalist Township is a mixed urban and rural
municipality where approximately 4,500 residential units
(approximately 10,500 residents) receive municipal water
and sewer services;
And whereas Loyalist Township operates two water treatment
facilities and three wastewater facilities that all require
separate ever increasing reporting;
And whereas post-Walkerton regulations have caused the
cost of water production to skyrocket along with capital costs
for improvements to infrastructure;
And recognizing that while the Ministry's evolving regulations
are intended to improve both the quality of water and the
processes to assess the quality water, they also cause a
dramatic increase in the administrative and auditing
resources required;
And whereas, in Loyalist Township at least, the extra costs
incurred have not improved the already excellent quality of
drinking water produced and provided to water customers;
And whereas full cost recovery is forcing municipalities to
impose huge increases in water and sewer service rates for
a product that is essential to life;
NOW therefore, the Council of The Corporation of Loyalist
Township hereby requests the Ministry of Environment and
the Province of Ontario to provide financial and/or legislated
relief to smaller service areas that face increasing costs;
And further, Council requests the Minister of the
Environment to accept an invitation to meet with Loyalist
Township representatives with the intent that opportunities to
address this resource shortfall can be explored in a
cooperative and open manner;
And further, that this resolution be forwarded to the
Premier's Office, the office of the Minister of the
Environment, the office of the Minister of Municipal Affairs
and Housing, all municipalities (through AMO) and to the
water associations (AWWA, CWWA, OMWA, OWWA)
requesting their support."

Municipal Property Assessment Corporation:
"WHEREAS section 19 of the Municipal Elections Act, 1996
provides that the Municipal Property Assessment
Corporation (MPAC) must prepare and deliver a preliminary
list of electors to each local municipality in the year of an
election;
AND WHEREAS the municipality must correct hundreds of
errors in the preliminary list prepared by MPAC in every
election year;
AND WHEREAS numerous errors are repeated election
after election, even though M PAC receives a copy of all
corrections made by the municipality;
AND WHEREAS taxpayers have demonstrated their
dissatisfaction with regards to this situation which reoccurs
every three years and forces them to fill out the same forms
over and over again;
AND WHEREAS it is very difficult for municipalities to work
with a preliminary list of this quality.
BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the Township of
Alfred and Plantagenet petition the Minister of Municipal
Affairs to examine this problem which affects all
municipalities and numerous taxpayers;

year by MPAC in order to improve the accuracy of the
preliminary list. In the event of this first option being too
costly, the government could establish an efficient
mechanism in the preparation of the preliminary list of
electors in order to avoid frustration from taxpayers and
municipalities and the waste of human and financial
resources.
AND BE IT RESOLVED THAT this resolution be circulated

des municipalites de l'Ontario) to seek their support with
respect to these concerns.
