DELEGATIONS
Geraldine Fielder addressed Council regarding Report PSD-035-06 (Item #4 of
Report #1). Ms. Fielder expressed her concerns regarding the notice to residents
regarding the development and regarding the impact the proposed development may
have on the area water supply. She stated she would be happy ff a fund were set
Council Meeting Minutes - 3 - April 18, 2006
aside by the developer. The funds would be drawn from by the residents, as required,
to front any costs for water in the event their wells are negatively affected. Ms. Fielder
questioned how long residents may have to wait to get water in the event their wells
do run dry.
Tammy Robitaille addressed Council regarding Report PSD-035-06 (Item #4 of
Report #1). Ms. Robitaille advised that she had not yet had the opportunity to meet
with staff to research the Municipality of Clarington's well interference policy but did
have the opportunity to discuss the matter with Region of Durham staff. She reported
that it is her understanding that the developer will be required to file a $10,000 bond
that would be held in trust by the Region of Durham until such time as all the wells in
the development are registered. She is concerned, however, that some of the
properties will not be developed in the near future and that the funds will be released
back to the developer and will not be available at such time as those property wells
are dug/drilled. Ms. Robitaille is looking for some reassurance that the funds will be
available. She further stated that residents are wanting a park in their community.
Ms. Robitaille recommended that lots 1, 2 and 3 be used in addition to the designated
park lands to develop a true park including sports fields for the community. Ms.
Robitaille also advised that residents do not want another entrance. on to Old Scugog
Road near the school
Linda Gasser addressed Council with respect to Correspondence Item D-14 related to
the 407 East Environmental Assessment (EA); a process that began in 2002. The EA
study is currently at the stage where the Project Team is finalizing an earlier
December 2005 draft document-an assessment of Transportation Problems and
Opportunities-which was not released to the general public but to select
stakeholders only. Their stated intention is to bring forward the documents including
the maps, charts and displays, along with their recommended Preferred Aftemative to~
the Public Information Centres (PICs) in late May and early June. They have chosen
a "drop-in° format for these PICs with no structured presentation to put any of this
material, nor their decision, into context. Ms. Gasser requests the following:
• Request a structured presentation to Council at an evening meeting, prior to
the May 30"' PIC
• Request that the format for the May 30"' and future Clarington PICs be
amended to include a structured presentation and Question and Answer
session in addition to the drop-in option
Zena Bums provided Council with background on Bill 8, Children's Law Reform
Amendment Act. Ms. Bums stated that currently grandparents and other family
members are not entitled to know when their grandchildren are placed in protective
custody. All too often, she stated, they are placed in foster care and she believes they
should be with their grandparents. Ms. Bums emphasized the importance of the
relationships between grandparents and grandchildren and is concemed with the
long-term effects where there is no relationship. She requested that Council endorse
Bi118 which, if passed, will secure grandparents the legal right to see their
grandchildren, if in the opinion of the Courts, ft is in the best interests of the children.

to the GST;
Making our streets and communities safer by cracking down on crime
and introducing mandatory minimum sentences;
Supporting families by providing a $1,200 per year Choice in Child Care
Allowance for each child under six;
• And working with the provinces to improve health care by establishing a
Patient Wait Times Guarantee
Over the coming weeks and months, he hopes to work closely with our office to

I - 8 Jeanette Barrett, Dean, School of Career Development and Continuing
Education advising of Job Connect, a Provincial Youth Employment program
funded by the Government of Ontario. The program assists unemployed youth
who are out of school, work or training and provides them with a wealth of
employment resources to better prepare them for the world of employment.
Job Connect has been in operation for over 9 years and in Durham Region has
annually assisted thousands of unemployed youth with employment
opportunities, apprenticeship, workshops and for some, counseling to return to
school in an effort to meet their long term goals of employment. As per the
provincial initiatives under the Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities,
this program will be expanding to incorporate and reflect the provincial plan of
One Stop. As a result of this direction, Durham College is responsible for the
Clarington area effective April 1, 2006.
I - 9 Debbie. Zimmerman, Chair, MPAC Board of Directors providing an update on
the changes they are planning as part of the response to the Report of the
Ombudsman of Ontario. The Board welcomed the Ombudsman's review when
it began in October and have cooperated fully with the Ombudsman's office
prior to and during his review. They will continue to cooperate with the
Ombudsman's office in the months ahead. In all, the Ombudsman made 22
recommendations. Of these:
Since 2004, they have worked on and can implement 17
recommendations as soon as possible;
Two recommendations are the responsibility of the provincial
government and beyond their control; and
Three have significant resource, technology and cost implications and
require further review before they can be implemented. They are now
conducting this review.
Their detailed response to each of the 22 recommendations is posted on their
web site at www,mpaaca.
I - 11 Joan Kellett, Director, Durham Celtic Fiddle Orchestra thanking Council for the

I - 14 Pat M. Madill, Regional Cleric, Regional Municipality of Dufiam advising that
Paul Foster and Warren Nicholishen have been appointed as Area Weed
Inspectors under the Weed Control Act for the Regional Municipality of
Durham.
I -15 John R. O'Toole, MPP, Durham writing to the Minister of Education regarding
students from a local high school smoking on private property. He has no
doubt that this problem exists in many Ontario communities because students
who are not allowed to smoke on school property congregate near the school.
The problem is mainly high school students assembling to smoke in a walkway
adjoining the school property and the neighboufiood. The cigarette butts and
litter are an additional problem, as well as the second-hand smoke that reaches
nearby homes. Drug transactions and smoking of drugs have also been
witnessed, with very young elementary students walking home and being
exposed to this behaviour. He is confident that between the' Municipality and
the School Board we can accommodate a solution. The suggestion has been
made to find a suitable "designated smoking space" the students could use.
I -16 P.M. Madill, Regional Clerk forwarding the Dufiam Agricultural Advisory
Committee-2005 Annual Report and 2006 Workplan.,
I - 17 P.M. Madill, Regional Clerk forwarding the Dufiam Environmental Advisory

I -18 Gloria Kovach, President, Federation of Canadian Municipalities advising that
Parliament has resumed and now is the time for municipal advocates to make
their voices heard. To support-their efforts, they have produced an advocacy
kit and posted it on the FCM website at www.fcm.ca. Here we will find
background materials, talking points and information on key Parliamentary
contacts that can be used to communicate with our Members of Parliament.
I -19 Enza Cancilla advising that Hydro One is in the process of upgrading its
distribution system in the Municipality of Clarington. The project involves
replacing insulators on both the high and low voltage lines serving customers
from the Park Road Distribution Station. This work is expected to be completed
by mid-April and will significantly improve reliability, including supply to Veridian
Connections Inc. in Bowmanville.
I - 20 Rhonda Barkley, Liaison, Ontario Family Fishing Weekend Steering
Committee, advising that the Province of Ontario has declared the weekend of
Friday, July 7 through Sunday, July 9, 2006 as a licence-free fishing weekend.
Council Meeting Minutes - 7 - April 18, 2006
I - 10 Debbie Zimmerman, Chair, MPAC Board of Directors, advising that in past
election years, municipalities have voiced their concerns about the number of
deceased persons on the Preliminary List of Electors (PLE) and the under-
reporting of population in the July 31 Ontario Population Report. MPAC also
receives complaints from property owners when the names of their deceased
spouses appear on annual Property Assessment Notices. This situation is a
direct result of losing access to birth and death information from Vital Statistics
due to the introduction of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection
of Privacy Act over ten years ago. Since the PLE is a "point-in-time" extract of
MPAC's database and is produced almost four months prior to election day, the
information of this list rapidly becomes outdated as eleclion day approaches.
For this reason, MPAC developed the Supplementary List of Electors, first as a
pilot program in 2000 and then as a set of fully featured products available to all
municipalities in 2003. MPAC encourages all municipalities to use the
Supplementary List of Electors as an important tool to ensure an accurate
voters' list on election day (when elector eligibility is determined).

D - 6 Cathy McNeill writing regarding the need for a double base liner at the Port
Granby site. She questions why, if a double line is recommended for the Port
Hope facility, one isn't being recommended for the Port Granby site. We may
not have housing as close to the site as Port Hope, but Port Granby creek will
be in close proximity to the new waste site and this should be reason enough
for a second liner. If we are seriously concerned about the health of our
residents and want them to have confidence in the safety of the facility, she
recommends that a waste site that is equal to the Port Hope site in safety be
provided.

D - 12 Chris West, President, Downtown Pontiac-Buick-GMC; St. Marys advising that
with the loss of the auto .pact and the importance of the auto industry, it is
essential an automotive strategy be developed immediately. The jobs of one
auto worker and three parts workers generate about $40,000 to the provincial
and federal governments in income taxes. These taxes fund health, education
and social programs. These same workers spend about $120,000 in their local
economies with a further $18,000 going to federal and provincial sales taxes.
This leads to more business taxes from merchants. For every Canadian GM,
Ford or Chrysler auto worker, that's $58,000 generated to pay for education,
health care, retirement and other social programs. Mon: than 50 percent of
Canadians are choosing GM, Ford or Chrysler as against those of. 23 other
import manufacturers. All three of these trustworthy North American
companies build great products and are achieving outstanding recognition.
With this in mind, it is a must that we re-develop an automotivestrategytoctay.
Mr. West enGoses an acceptable strategy, consisting of 13 recommendations.

D -14 Linda Gasser, writing with respect to the 407 Project Team's Public Information
Centres (PICs). The PICs will kick off in Bowmanville on May 30, 2006 at the
Garnet Rickard Recreation Complex. The project Team has stated that they
intend to conduct the PICs as "drop-in" centres, with project display material
and staff available to answer any questions. Drop-in formats place the onus on
individuals to inform themselves and may be useful for less complex projects,
however, the sheer volume and complexity of the material/issues relating to the
407 EA study to date is overwhelming and the history of the project is rather
convoluted. She urges Council to request the Project Team to reconsider their
decision about the PIC format and to inGude a structured presentation with a
subsequent Q&A Session in addition to the basic drop-in option, beginning with
this round of PICs. She also urges Council to request the Project Team to
present an "EA update" to Council before May 30, including issues that would
be covered in material available at the first round of PICs. A letter requesting
the same has also been forwarded to Doug Allingham, 407 East Consultant
Project Manager.

D -15 Chris Somerville, Township Clerk, Township of King advising that their Council
passed the following resolution:
"WHEREAS the Council of the Corporation of the Township of King has
received numerous complaints regarding recent changes in the delivery of mail
in the rural communities; and
Local Canada Post offices have replaced many traditional rural mailboxes
located at the end of rural lanes in favour of community mailboxes throughout.
the Township of King; and
Council Meeting Minutes - 13 - April 18, 2006
In most instances, these changes have been undertaken without any advance
notice, with mail delivery simply being stopped until the community mailboxes
can tie installed; and
No arrangements had been made for the interim delivery of mail resulting in
many residents and business people being greatly inconvenienced during the
transition period and forced to go looking for their mail at the local post office,
which in some cases is a long distance away; and
Local Post Office staff advised that the reasons for these changes is due in part
to mailboxes that are located by the roadsides presenting unsafe delivery
conditions, and a recent change in the status of rural mail carriers from
contractor to employee has resulted in Canada Post making efforts to improve
working conditions for the carriers; and
Canada Post carriers have been delivering mail to the existing rural mailboxes
for decades, providing one of the few visible and very essential services these
residents and business people receive;
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED THAT:
1. Canada Post be advised that residents and businesses of the rural areas in
the Township of King prefer to retain their existing individual- mailboxes
which continue to play an important role in providing an affordable postal
service of the highest quality.
2. In the event of unavoidable future mailbox changes, Canada Post ensure
that all affected residents receive advance notice of what is planned, with
information on how the mail delivery will be handled during the transition
period, where the new community mailboxes will be located and when they
will be available for use.
3. Council of the Corporation of the Township of King requests that Canada
Post review the standards for rural mailbox locations and establish realistic
requirements.
4. Canada Post provide rural mail carriers with a flashing light and signage for
their vehicles for increased visibility and safety.
5. The Canada Post website indicates it is Canada Post's goal "to be a world
leader providing innovative physical and electronic delivery solutions,
creating value for our customers, employees and all Canadians" - it is also
important that its traditional values of dependability and service not be
ignored.

D - 4 Martha A. Pettit, Manager, Legislative Services/Deputy Cleric, Town of

following resolution:
"VHhereas the 0.8 F. T .E. position for the:Associate Medica! Officerof
Health (AMOH) as proposed in the 2006 Health Department budget was
to be funded by 100% Provincial dollars and therefore has no impact on
the Regional tax levy;
Whereas additional support at the AMOH level was requested and
approved by the Health and Social Services Committee during the 2005
budget process and subsequently denied by Regional Council;
Whereas the 2005 Annual Compliance Report indicates a number of
areas where standards of the Mandatory Health Programs and Standards
Guidelines are not met;
Whereas the province's Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Sheela
Basrur, in her 2005 Annual Report to the Legislature articulated her
concern regarding longstanding vacancies in Medical Officer of Health
positions due to unsustainable call schedules and limited human and other
resources as being major deterrents to attracting new entrants to the field;
Whereas the increases in workload and areas of responsibility have
increased since 1994 when the first AMOH postion was approved in
Durham Region; For example, by 2004,
the population of Durham Region had increased by 23.8%
# of publicly funded vaccines has increased by 45.5%
# of children aged 0-19 years has increased by 14.3%
Summary of Correspondence - 3 - May 1, 2006
# of reportable diseases investigated has increased by 46.1
#of designated reportable diseases has increased by 13 to 85 or
18.1%;
Whereas a number of Durham municipalities are designated
underserviced by physicians and the 0.8 FTE AMOH could provide the
opportunity for the incumbent to provide some clinical services within the
community;
Whereas the AMOH provides medical consultation and authority with
regards to infectious diseases for public health staff, hospitals, long term
care facilities and the community in Durham Region;
Whereas pandemic influenza planning and a consolidated community
response led by Durham Region Health Department will provide protection
in order to reduce morbidity and hospitalizations, and minimize societal
disruption and economic losses;
Whereas the recent examples of emerging infectious diseases such as
West Nile virus, multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, the Walkerton water
disaster, outbreaks of new antibiotic resistant microbes, avian influenza
and SARS, has required a strong public health system with effective
adequately resourced medical leadership;
Therefore be it resolved that the Council of the Town of Ajax recommends
that the 0.8 FTE Associate Medical Officer of Health position as proposed
in the original submission of the 2006 Health Department budget be
approved in the 2006 Regional budget."
(Motion for Direction)
D - 5 Harold Luckasavitch, Clerk, Township of South Algonquin, advising
Council that the Township of South Algonquin on April 6, 2006, passed the
following resolution:
"WHEREAS the Ontario Ombudsman has completed his extensive review
of MPAC's administration of Current Value Assessment (CVA) and has
issued a scathing 94-page Report admonishing MPAC for mishandling the
administration of assessment in Ontario and has included numerous
recommendations in his report for immediate change.
WHEREAS the ombudsman states at page 64 of his Report that his
mandate was limited to the administration of property assessment, not the
system itself, however he states that he cannot overlook the wave of
concern directed at the existing assessment legislation and therefore sets
out some compelling arguments for the Provincial Government to
introduce urgent reform to CVA, such as a 5% cap on the maximum
allowable annual increase in property assessment.
Summary of Correspondence - 4 - May 1, 2006
WHEREAS the 5% cap on property assessment increases has existed
since 1999 in Ontario for all industrial and commercial property owners
and by applying the cap to residential properties it would create a level
playing field for assessment relating to all classes of properties.
WHEREAS M.P .P .Tim Hudak has recently introduced a Private
Members Bill in the Legislature that, if passed, would:
(a) establish a 5% cap on increases for residential property owners
(b) allow homeowners to make $25,000.00 in home repairs,
alterations, or additions to their properties without triggering
increases in property assessments
(c) allow seniors and disabled property owners to be exempted from
paying taxes on the first $10,000.00 of assessed value on a
principal residence-
WHEREAS Health Units, Nursing Homes and District Social Services
Administration Boards establish their levies to member municipalities
using "weighted assessment" that creates outrageous increases in levies.
due to spikes in municipalities levels of assessment which, if capped at
5% would not occur.
BE IT RESOLVED THEREFORE that the Township of South Algonquin
requests the Provincial Government to immediately introduce the changes
described above to the Current Value Assessment system as reflected in
the Ombudsman's Report (para. 178, 179, and 180 at page 64), as well as
the preceding changes contained in M.P .P .Tim Hudak's Private Members
Bill so as to provide immediate relief to-the countless ratepayers in all
parts of Ontario who are being unfairly served by a punitive, unstable and
volatile Current Value Assessment system.
BE 1T ALSO RESOLVED that all 445 municipalities in Ontario as well as
A.M.O. and R.O.M.A. receive this resolution and be asked to support this
resolution by sending a copy of their endorsement to Premier McGuinty at
their earliest convenience."
(Motion for Direction)
D - 6 John Slater, Chair, Orono Crown Lands Trust, advising the Orono Crown
Lands Trust, a registered non profit charitable organization, is responsible
for day-today management activities of 633 acres of the Orono Crown
Forest through a 20 year Management Plan. The forest has one of the
worst infestations ofdog-strangling vine in the Region, a potential invasive
species. He is requesting a Municipal grant in the amount of $5,000 to
purchase a chipper, an essential component of the invasive species
program.

Association of Ontario; requesting the proclamation of June as Spina
Bifida and Hydrocephalus Awareness Month.
(Motion to Proclaim) `
D - 8 Kathryn J. Vout, Town Clerk, Town of Grimsby advising Council that the
Town of Grimsby on April 3, 2006, passed the following resolution:
"Whereas it is a goal of the Greenbelt Plan to provide permanent
agricultural protection together with a vibrant and evolving agricultural and.
rural economy; and
Whereas it is a goal of the Greenbelt Plan to support the Niagara
Peninsula Specialty crop area as a destination and centre of agriculture,
focused or the agri-food sector and agri-tourism industries related to grape
and tender fruft production; and
Whereas a goal of the Greenbelt Plan is to provide the appropriate
flexibility to allow for agriculture, agriculture-related and secondary uses,
normal farm practices and an evolving agricultural/rural economy; and
Whereas it is a goal of the Greenbelt Plan to increase certainty for the
agricultural sector to foster long-term investment in; improvement to, and
management of the land; and
Whereas providing a positive climate for farmers is a critical aspect in
sustaining the viability of the farming; and
Whereas the Greenbelt Plan (Section 4.6 Lot Creation) and the Provincial
Policy Statement do not permit retiring farmers to create lots on land to
which they have had alife-long financial and emotional tie; and
Whereas the Greenbelt Plan fails to recognize the rights of farmers to
retire with the financial and social stability provided by the traditional
retirement lot; and
Whereas the Greenbelt Plan fails to acknowledge the important life-long
service provided by farmers to the people of Ontario; and
Whereas the farmers of Ontario face numerous natural and economic
hardships throughout their careers, without the additional interference of
provincial legislation; and
Whereas the current Greenbelt Plan acts as a deterrent for existing
farmers wishing to continue a career in agriculture; and '
Whereas the current Greenbelt Plan acts as a disincentive forfuture
farmers hoping to begin careers as farmers.
Summary of Correspondence - 6 - May 1, 2006
Now therefore be it resolved that the Town of Grimsby implores the
government of the Province of Ontario #o amend the Greenbelt Plan and
the Provincial Policy Statement to permit the creation of retirement lots for
a farmer of retirement age who is retiring from active working life, and has
owned and operated the farm operation for a substantial number of years;
and that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Honourable Dalton
McGuinty, Premier of Ontario; the Honourable John Gerretson, Minister of
Municipal Affairs and Housing; Jennifer Mossop, M.P.P. Stoney Creek
Riding; the Regional Municipality of Niagara, and to the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario for circulation to all municipalities in the Greenbelt
for their support."

ensures an opportunity for information sharing and dialogue between St.
Marys and its neighbours.
The Community Relations Committee recommends that the Committee
