I - 17 Dale Mercer, President and Rocco Gerace, Registrar, The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario providing an overview of the actions that the College has been taking to increase the number of licensed physicians in Ontario and to convey their 2005 registration statistics. One of their top priorities for the last few years has been to find creative ways to address the lack of physicians in this province. Past initiatives have included the publication of Tackling the Doctor Shortage, a discussion paper providing recommendations directed to government and all stakeholders, including the College, that were designed to increase access to physicians. Their initiatives have included working with Ontario's Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, the Government of Canada and other partners to develop new pathways for foreign-trained physicians to become licensed to practice medicine in Ontario. As a result, 2005 marked the second year in a row that the College granted more medical licenses to International Medical Graduates (IMGs) than Ontario medical school graduates. This included 1,082 certificates issued to IMGs, graduating from 91 different countries. The total number of certificates issued in 2005 was the highest annual total in 20 years. To increase the number of physicians in Ontario, they continue to advocate for the government to increase enrolment at Ontario's medical schools and post-graduate training positions. They are pleased that in 2006, the government allowed IMGs to apply for residency positions in Ontario during their final year of medical school. This included Canadian/Ontarian residents who were studying abroad. The College is requesting that this policy is repeated in 2007.

I - 20 Ministry of the Environment advising that the McGuinty government has taken another step to safeguard the province's water supply by improving the rules for drinking water systems. Testing and operating requirements have been changed to be easier to follow, to provide more treatment options and reduce costs for smaller systems. The changes will not compromise public health, but will make operations more practical.

Some residents have noticed the noise level from the highway is increasing and that this affects their ability to enjoy their property.

St. Marys Cement Community Relations Committee DRAFT Meeting Minutes June 6, 2006 Page 2 b) Update on Quarry Deepening Proposal John reported that Waverley Road will be removed by end of 2006 in order to ensure sufficient supply of Levell and Level 2 rock. On the basis that approval to deepen the quarry is not forthcoming, St. Marys will continue to move eastward to ensure supply of limestone. By 2011, St. Marys estimates they will be 500 feet east of the east limit of Waverley Road. Should approval to deepen the quarry be provided, the pace of excavation to the east will be slower. c) Excavation ofWaverley Road and Relocation of Emergency Access Route Clarington reported that a meeting of St. Marys and Fire Services is scheduled for Friday June 9, 2006 to consider alternate emergency access routes.

Welcome Meeting commenced 7: 1 0 p.m. Welcome by Vice-Chair to Doug Allingham, Totten Sims Hubicki, Dan Remollino and Rita Venneri of the Ministry of Transcortation Presentation Doug Allingham presented on the 407 East Environmental by TSH Assessment and answered questions of the committee and audience. Questions/Answers from TSH: David Duffy offered that the GO and/or VIA Rail would offer a solution to the traffic concerns. Answer: . 2000 passengers per GO train equates to 1 lane of traffic. . This type of transit works when taking one complete trip from one location to another. A trip from Durham to Vaughan is about 2 hours due to connections. . Connections are the problem with this form of transit. . Would not significantly reduce the traffic on Highway 401. . Almost impossible to put back rail lines or expand them as many right-of-ways are gone. Cloongron DRAFT MINUTES OF THE CLARINGTON HWY. 407 COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE '.. Agenda Item Discussion .", Action Linda Gasser asked for clarification on the Road Pricing Slide: Answer: . Road pricing has a lot of potential, however our current environment is not conducive to having road pricing programs soon enough to make a difference. . Tolling is a possibility - the policy allows for tolling for new facilities only. . Tolling is generally accepted by the public under some conditions. . Road pricing can shift traffic from one road to another. . A $10.00 toll to enter the downtown Toronto could work but would be least accepted. What type of traffic would end up on a tolled highway? . Tolling would be as such to generate revenue. . No toll forecasting will be done for this study. . No idea at this time how the highway will be constructed, or if it will be tolled. . Tolling does not reduce travel, itmoves it from one place to another. Audience member stated that many people will not pay a toll. Answer: . Volumes on. the 407 are increasing dramatically to a point where expansion is required. . Tolls have increased, but traffic has increased and continues to grow daily. . Truck traffic is present on the 407 and increasing. 7 to 8% of 407 traffic is truck traffic, compared to 15 to 20% truck traffic on the 401. . Saving 40 - 60 minutes in travel time is worth the price. People's time is worth more to them and will pay for the convenience. C[![mgton DRAFT MINUTES OF THE CLARINGTON HWY. 407 COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE Agenda Item Discussion Action . Once the 407 is too congested, people will not sit in traffic to pay money. The owners need to find the right point (fee) to generate revenue and not lose too many travellers. Linda Gasser offered information from a Clarington This Week Statistics article: . 70% of cars have only one occupant and will have even if we build all the roads in the Durham Transportation Master Plan and widen other roads. . People are not paying the cost of deciding to have only 1 person in the vehicle. . Alternative 3 is only a temporary solution. Linda Gasser asked if the new corridor onlv was constructed what solution would it deliver (subtract out the other elements to see what the 407 would deliver on its own). She would like to see the numbers on each element of the solution. Answer: MTO has included all the elements in an effort to be conservative and the results still show we need a combination of all the elements. MTO does not control the delivery of any other elements other than the 407 corridor. A corridor on its own would require additional links. MTO has offered incentives to multi passenger vehicles such as special parking and car pool lanes. Society has not been receptive. Linda Gasser stated that there should be something that ties the E.A. Study to the implementation decisions. A graphic is needed showing 16 lanes and multiple links to show the impact on the properties that would be required to accommodate it. Fred Biesenthal asked about road pricing versus transit pricing versus subsidies: Answer: . Toronto transit fares - 80% of the fares cover operating costs. . Durham region transit - 50% of fares cover operating costs. . It is unknown what cost the motorist pays for roads. . 100% of the gas tax does not go to transportation and roads. . Taxes pay for infrastructure. . Gas tax dollars puts only a small dent in the actual costs of road improvements. Cl!1r.mgron DRAFT MINUTES OF THE CLARINGTON HWY. 407 COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE ,,' Action ',', Agenda Item Discussion ., Audience Member asked what physical area, for example, does the Stevenson Road Interchange encompass? . MTO to provide, however it should be noted that some of the area is replacement and not just "new". Audience Member stated that the 407 is more open than the 401 with no centre barrier or side barriers, or vegetation. . MTO stated that the "Design" stage will involve public consultation as well. . MTO noted that the Federal Reg's did what they committed to do. . MTO will be held accountable to mitigate impacts and will work to get enhancements. Audience Member asked about the timing for the 401's 10 lanes to Courtice. . There are 10 lanes to Brock Road in Pickering presently. . The next phase is Brock Road to Salem followed by Salem to Lakeridge and Lakeridge to Courtice Road. The study (timing) is incomplete at present. Audience Member offered that the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing and that the problem is, a lack of connectivity. He suggested thatif a service was made sufficiently expensive and sufficiently unreliable then the public will use something else, and that the abandonment of the rail right-of-ways showed a lack of vision. He asked if we have an environmental issue to consider in that if we do nothing the congestion becomes worst and so does our environment. He asked the question "Do you agree that traffic levels expand to fill in traffic, i.e. build a road and its full? Answer: Road construction is falling behind the need, when new roads are built people who were traveling in off peak times can now move to peak times - they are not new trips. The MTO is also talking about a separate transitway corridor adjacent to the traffic corridor. It was agreed that connectivity is the big issue. Will the proposed road act as a catalyst for agricultural land loss? Answer: No. The Greenbelt line will move north as lands along the south are being deleted from the Greenbelt. Can health care issues be quantified for each scenario? No. There would be a different answer provided from each expert. Cl![mglOn DRAFT MINUTES OF THE CLARINGTON HWY. 407 COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE Agenda Item Discussion Action Don MacArthur offered that it is a problem of getting people to embrace transit like they do their cars. Our transit system pales in comparison to other countries. It is economics of scale and it would not be feasible in Bowmanville. Linda Gasser stated that Clarington Council has taken their position on Highway 407. She asked if Alternative 3, being a combination of solutions, will be circulated to Council.

Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Office (LLRWMO): Gary Vandergaast, Heather Kleb, Sue Stickley, Judy Herod and Stephen Straughan. Facilitator: Chris Haussmann, Haussmann Consulting Inc. Introductions Led by Chris Haussmann, individuals around the table introduced themselves to each other. Port Granbv Project Updates: LLRWMO; Municipality of Clarington; SECRA LLRWMO Port Granby Project Manager Gary Vandergaast reported that the LLRWMO plans to finalize the Draft Environmental Assessment Study Report (EASR) this month for submission to the three federal responsible authorities (Natural Resources Canada, Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission and Fisheries and Oceans Canada). In the past few weeks, the Municipal Peer Review Team provided 44 additional comments/questions to which the LLRWMO responded. Gary addressed a question that was asked at the previous Discussion Group meeting about how the Project would deal with severe storms during construction of the facility. He said it will take about five years to complete the transfer of the waste from the existing site to the long- term waste management mound. This will occur over about nine months of each year. Clean runoff from precipitation will be captured by a storm water management system built around the perimeter of the facility. Sumps will drain rain or snow that that comes in contact with the aboveground mound during waste placement. This water will be treated before being released. The sumps will be designed to handle the capacity of runoff generated by a one-in-one-hundred year (major) storm. During the first four years of mound construction, the sumps will handle all of the water generated. In the fifth year, when the mound had been built up, the capacity of the sumps will be lessened and greater emphasis will be placed on diverting runoff away from the sumps through waste placement practices and covering the surface of the mound with one foot of daily clean cover material to prevent erosion. Municipality of Clarington Janice Szwarz reported that she will submit a staff report to the General Purpose and Administration Committee of Clarington Council on June 19 recommending that the draft EASR proceed for review by the federal responsible authorities. The report will emphasize the importance of a framework to guide the development of socio-economic mitigation measures. She also said that Clarington will investigate the nomination of Compensation Officers from the Municipality of Clarington to hear appeals under the Property Value Protection Program. Port Granby Project Discussion Group 10f4 2006 March 29 /~ PORT GRANBY PROJECf their properties up for sale. Stephen responded that a Fair Market Value established today would be of little use if they decided to sell in the future. To be accurate, the unaffected Fair Market Value must be established at the time of sale, as many factors, unrelated to the Project, can cause property values to rise or fall. He explained an independent appraiser could establish the unaffected Fair Market Value at any point after the Project begins. Dave Hardy said Laidlaw, through its property value protection program, the Good Neighbours Program, offered to have appraisals done to establish a baseline on properties affected by their landfill. Some owners resisted this offer because an outdated baseline might not be to their advantage if the unaffected Fair Market Value increased. Nevertheless, Lorri and Julie stated that they wanted appraisals now. Sarwan said he would be satisfied to receive Fair Market Value for his property, and if that could be assured he believed the process would be fair. He asked what the timeframe would be for the Government of Canada to buy a property that did not sell because of the Project. b. Socio-economic mitigation measures and potential for compensation as a mitigation measure: Heather provided an overview of the socio-economic mitigation measures covered in the EASR, particularly the two-tier complaints resolution process being proposed if residents experience effects from the Project. Gerry said there is a need for greater detail in how the process will work and an independent person should be brought into the process to rule on the mitigation needed. He said residents had been told earlier in the process that they were entitled to compensation. He asked that specific impact reduction measures be decided on now. Dave Hardy of the Municipal Peer Review Team asked residents to provide him with their thougbts about an independent panel to hear requests for socio-economic effects reduction measures. Janice said she believed the complaints resolution process as the LLRWMO designed it is fair. Tier 2 of the process includes an independent panel made up of community members nominated by the Municipalities of Clarington and Port Hope to hear complaints. Heather explained the two-tier process will provide flexibility so residents can have their individual needs for effects mitigation addressed. Not every effect can be anticipated ahead of time and not everyone will experience the same effects, she said. Julie asked if residents would have to register a complaint and go through the process every time they felt an effect from the Project. Janice said that some issues, such as the transportation route effect on school bus routes from the haulage of construction materials, could be dealt with ahead of time. Similarly, residents who live along the route may anticipate a need to have trees planted to screen the road. Issues such as these could be acted on before the Project begins. She said the socio-economic mitigation strategy must provide a flexible framework to address residents' needs over time; the last thing she wants to see are details tied down so tightly before the Project begins that the process cannot respond to ongoing concerns. Heather assured residents that the LLRWMO is committed to working with them on a continuing basis about their concerns. Sue added that the Tier 1 process will be an informal and ongoing forum where residents can discuss and work to resolve their issues. She said the Project Discussion Group might assume this role or another community group might be formed. Janice asked residents to suggest names of community members who might serve on the independent Tier 2 complaints resolution panel. Harry Worrall said he believed residents were entitled to receive general compensation, not specifically tied to property sales or direct effects. Heather responded that direct effects would be "avoided, reduced or redressed". For example, the LLRWMO might pay to repair a windshield that is damaged by a rock from one of the Project trucks. But general compensation for aggravation is not provided. However, a grant has been paid in the form of a $10 million host fee to the Municipality of Clarington through the Legal Agreement. She said it was up to the municipality to decide how that money would be used to benefit the community.

REPORT If 2 Cl![mgton REPORT FINANCE DEPARTMENT Meeting: COUNCIL Date: MONDAY JUNE 26, 2006 Resolution #: Report #: FND-011-06 File#: By-law #: Subject: 2006/2007 INSURANCE PROGRAM Recommendations: It is respectfully recommended to Council the following: 1. THAT Report FND-011-06 be received; and 2. THAT the general insurance placement, in conjunction with the other member municipalities of the Durham Municipal Insurance Pool, with the Frank Cowan Company for an integrated pooling arrangement that includes integrated insurance coverages and common self retention deductible levels for the period July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007 at an approximate cost to Clarington of $614,190 be approved. Submitted by: Nancy Tayl , .B. Director of inance. Reviewed bQ ~~ ~ Franklin Wu, Chief Administrative Officer. r~T/hjl REPORT NO.: FND-011-06 PAGE 2 BACKGROUND AND INFORMATION: 1.0 The purpose of this report is to provide Council with an update with respect to insurance coverage for the period July 1,2006 to June 30, 2007. As Council is aware, the Municipality of Clarington is a member of the Durham Municipal Insurance Pool. Insurance has been a difficult issue over the past several years due to world events and a 'hard' insurance market. Very few insurers are interested in municipal liability coverage due to a generally poor loss experience and an increase in frequency and severity of claims. 1.1 The Board of Directors of the Durham Municipal Insurance Pool (of which Clarington sits as Chair), is recommending a placement with the Frank Cowan Company for an integrated pooling arrangement. The main features of the proposal include: i) Retention of Clarington's local insurance deductibles of $25,000 for most of the lines of coverage; and ii) Sharing the cost of claims by the Pool members from the local deductible level to $500,000 per claim. 1.2 INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR THE DURHAM MUNICIPAL INSURANCE POOL i) In July 2000, the Durham Municipal Insurance Pool was launched with the participation of the Towns of Ajax and Whitby, the Municipality of Clarington and the Townships of Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge and the Region of Durham. The Pool was formed to protect the participating municipalities from increasing insurance premium costs by structuring an alternative risk- financing program with a higher collective deductible and collectively self- insuring claims within the deductible. ii) Staff is pleased to report that the Durham Municipal Insurance Pool continues to fulfill the expectations with regard to the operational and financial benefits projected at its inception. Hi) As a result, the Durham Municipal Insurance Pool has positioned itself to minimize the annual increases in insurance premium paid to insurance companies related to property, casualty and liability coverage. For the July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007 renewal period. insurance premiums to be paid to the Durham Municipal Insurance Pool's insurer will increase by only 3.5%. iv) This relatively low increase will allow the member municipalities of the DMIP to set aside additional funds that have been provided in their respective 2006 Business Plans and Budgets to further protect the municipalities from the cost of insurance claims in the future. The DMIP members have agreed to REPORT NO.: FND-011-06 PAGE 3 increase the municipal contributions to the Insurance Pool by 15% for 2006/2007 in order to set aside additional funds to finance potential self insured claims in the future. v) Coverage purchased from the insurer for DMIP is in accordance with expiring terms and conditions with the following main amendments: . Aggregate protection is not available. . Property catastrophic limits have increased from $250 million to $300 million . Property and non-auto casualty exposures of the transit operations have been included in the DMIP program. vi) As a result of eliminating the aggregate protection (ie. a cap on the total amount of all claims paid within the Pool's deductible of $500,000), there is a possibility that the Pool could potentially have to draw from additional funds set aside to pay claims. vii) The actuarial analysis undertaken for the DMIP by KPMG indicates that the additional funding set by the Board in the future, exceeds the future expected claims losses forecasted by the actuaries based on historical claims experience for self insured claims within the Pool's deductible limit. viii)The two main strategic issues for setting aside additional funding are: 1) Stabilitv and Financial Strength of the Pool - allows the Pool to consider the best risk financing options available in the future and reduces the possibility of future additional contributions. 2) Future Premium Fluctuations - allows the Municipalities to strategically manage potential future insurance market price fluctuations. ix) Should the claims not materialize in the future as a result of proactive risk management practices, the additional funds that have been set aside may be returned to the Durham Municipal Insurance Pool members some time in the future in the form of repatriated surpluses. DMIP currently holds a surplus of $0.5 million. x) Actuarial analysis indicates that the additional funds set aside should be sufficient to cover the losses within the Pool's deductible. The actuarial recommends that this confidence level should range between 75% to 90% based 011 conservative assumptions. DMIP have funded conservatively to the recommended confidence levels. REPORT NO.: FND-011-06 PAGE 4 xi) Consequently, it is recommended that Clarington proceed to renew its integrated risk program, in conjunction with the other member municipalities, with the Frank Cowan Company for the period July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007. 1.3 For Clarington, the 2006/2007 contribution is estimated at $614,190. This represents the 15% increase over last years' pool contribution of $534,063 and reflects an annual insurance cost of approximately $575,000. 1.4 The 2006 budget for insurance is $550,000 for premiums as well as adjusters costs and payment of claims below the local deductible. As a result, the budget for insurance (as mentioned in budget deliberations) will require further adjustment in the 2007 budget process. For 2006, any shortfall will be funded through the self-insured losses reserve as required. CONCLUSION: 2.0 For the 2006/2007 year the Durham Municipal Insurance Pool has been successful in obtaining a reasonable insurance placement with an increase that is extremely modest in comparison to those that some municipalities have been facing across the country. A neighbouring municipality was reported as having a 65% increase over last year. Participation in the Durham Municipallnsurqnce Pool has provided a successful mechanism both to control insurance costs as well as promote risk management practices to reduce claims and protect against lawsuits. It was therefore recommended that Clarington proceed with the insurance placement in conjunction with the Durham Municipal Insurance Pool with the Frank Cowan Company with a premium increase to the insurer of only 3.5%.

We concur with the recommendation to award the contract to Rutherford Contracting Limited in the amount of $222,602.42 exclusive of G.S.T. for the waterfront trail and pedestrian bridge works. In order to bring the project within budget one of the two proposed pedestrian bridges and 150m of trail have been deleted from the project. A contingency amount of approximately 10.0% is carried forward for the project due to the poor soil conditions at the bridge location and at sections of the proposed trail and an additional amount of $16,000 has be allocated for the supply and installation of park benches and trash receptacles along the trail. Therefore, including original Master Plan development, detailed design, tender fees, and contract administration fees, the engineering department advises the following Municipal breakdown for the above referenced project; Bowmanville Waterfront Trail and Pedestrian Bridoes Account 110-32-325-83280-7401 Total Project $357,000.00 Amount Budget Amount $357,000.00 Estimated $0 Budoet Balance :oor RECEIVED JUN 1 9 Z006 MUNICIPALITY OF CLAR'NGTON PURCHASING DEPARTMENT Bowmanville Waterfront Trail and Pedestrian Bridges CL2006-8 2 SCHEDULE" B" June 16, 2006 Originally the Bovvmanville Waterfront Recreation Area project was a much more comprehensive project that was intended to create a waterfront park on the Bowmanville Creek between Port Darlington Road, West Beach Road, Soper/Bowmanville Creek and the Port Darlington Marina property. A master plan was completed and detailed design was started for improvements to the boat launch, the fish cleaning station, passive recreational areas, parking lots and a portion of Waterfront Trail through the area. The Municipality received approval for 29.51 % funding assistance from the Canada/Ontario Infrastructure Program (formerly SuperBuild). The original project was scaled back significantly when Council pursued the acquisition of additional land along the Lake Ontario waterfront for the future Port Darlington Waterfront Park. A large portion of the consulting costs reflected in TSH's attached report are related to the original project. Based on the new scope of work the funding available from the Canada/Ontario Infrastructure Program for this project is $107,000.00. The remaining $250,000.00 was provided from Reserves. We recommend the report to Council move forward based on the above costs and funding arrangements. Attached for your files is the recommendation provided by TSH.

My purpose in being here is to ask when you plan to pass a law banning all chemicals used as weed- killers on lawns and gardens throughout this municipality. 5 years ago I came here to point out that chemicals in our environment were the cause of most cancers. Since then evidence has continued to accumulate. We now know 1) that even children have, within their blooq, many cancer-causing chemicals, 2) that farmed salmon have high concentrations of various carcinogens, including PCB's, and thanks to the CBC announcer Wendy Mesley, 3) that the government of Canada does not require manufacturers to list the cancer-causing chemicals in labels on food products. And cancer is not the only disease connected to chemicals in our environment. Harper's MAGAZINE/OCTOBER 2004 contains the following ominous note: A new report concluded that deaths from brain diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and motor neuron disease have tripled in the last twenty years; the report's authors argued that chemical pollution was to blame. Are chemicals frying our brains? CCPA (Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives) Monitor February 2005 p 15 .......... The number of people suffering from neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's has risen dramatically in industrialized countries, according to a new report in the journal Public Health. The report claims this may well be the result of chemical pollutants. Between 1979 and 1997, cases of Alzheimer's and other dementias more than trebled in men and rose by nearly 90% in women. The study's authors say the rates of increase are too steep to be the result of genetic changes, and that the cause must therefore be environmental. Co-author Cohn-Pritchard cited the higher emission of motor vehicle exhaust fumes, and the rapidly increasing use of pesticides and industrial chemicals, of which there are now some 80,000 being widely used. (1 would like to add:"At present (1985) the American Chemical Society is registering new chemicals at the rate of70 per hour." Calculated Risks: The toxicity and human health risks of chemicals in our environment; Joseph V. Rodricks, 1992, Cambridge University Press, pIO.) · US study shows 10-fold increase in autism over the past 20 years BMJ 2003;326 71 ( I 11 January · Autism rates soaring in children, study finds · KIDS & CHEMICALS - Are We Making Our Children Sick PBS · US: CHEMICALS IN ENVIRONMENT CAUSING DISABILITIES IN CHILDREN "While it's usually impossible to say that a particular child's disability is caused by a toxic chemical, it is clear that toxic chemicals are taking a tragic toll across the population," says Ted Schettler, a practising physicianrin Boston, speaking on behalf of Physicians for Social Responsibility, which co-authored the report. About 12 million children in this country - under the age of 18 - suffer from one or more developmental, learning or behavioural disabilIties. These include disabilities like mental retardation, birth defects, autism, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder." · Kids' eczema toll has trebled · The incidence of asthma in children has risen from 2.5% in 1970 to 11 %, (Graham W. Chance, Toronto Star May 17/2000 page A35). We live virtually in a sea of chemicals with the potrntial to cause cancer and other diseases. One of the serious difficulties we have is that it is impossible in most cases to find a direct cause and effect link between the use of chemicals and disease. People who spray their lawns with cancer-causing chemicals are not known to have higher rates of cancer and Alzheimer's disease than those who do not, but surveys have not, to my knowledge, been undertaken which might have given us such information. The Toronto Conference of the United Church of Canada sent a petition to the government of Canada requesting such an epidemiological survey 4 years ago. The petition has not even been acknowledged by the Liberal government of the day, never mind acted upon. ...... What action has taken place has been that of numerous municipalities which have banned chemicals from lawns, including Toronto. I hope that you will soonjoin them and I await your response. I would like to make just one more point. Many thi:p.gs in life are a trade-off. We lose one thing, but we gain another which we deem to be of more value. In this instance we have on one side nice lawns, free of weeds. On the other we have cancer and a long list of incurable diseases. Which should we choose? Ken Ranney, MD, FRCPC, 6 Merryfield Ct, Bowmanville, ON, L 1C 4L2, (905) 6971066, krannev@roaers.com i' Clarington Council Meeting; June 26, 2006 Mayor Mutton and Members of Council: My name is John Buddo - the real estate broker who co-created the 29-acre development at Waverly Rd. and the 401 with Don Gleed. F or the past three years we have worked hard and been successful in attracting five new auto dealers, four food themes, and one hotel and conference centre. After a gap of 60 years or so, another genuine hotel developer has invested in Bowmanville. After ELEVEN failed negotiations we succeeded with our twelfth candidate February 15th , when we sold a 3.7 acre site to Bowmanville Hotels Inc. Conditions were waived and monies deposited in the Trust Account for this and two one-acre lots for a food theme. The hotel developer has asked for "any assistance possible" from Clarington. You already know that hotels are difficult to attract and finance. Their economic importance is high - especially here in Clarington. The conference centre, I'm told, will be the largest between Toronto and Kingston. From my discussion with the developers last Friday I have learned they are hopeful that the quantum we're talking about with this motion to waive development charges is $55,000 for the hotel and $25,000 for the 700-seat conference centre, totalling $80,000 for this group's $10,000,000 investment in Clarington. Please weigh the waiving of the $80,000 development charges against the hotel and conference centres' probable annual tax payments of over $300.000. Is the waived development fee necessary? Maybe not. It does not seal the deal. Is it wise? With a 3-month payback from the increased taxes - I'd have to say yes. It would have been better if this deal had been offered 3 years ago, instead of now. Nonetheless, I speak in favour of the motion on a WITHOUT PRECEDENT basis, and hope that these facts help you in your decision. Lastly, I must thank Don Gleed for investing in Clarington and thank Bowmanville Hotels, as well. Thanks also to David Crome and Richard Holy who helped us with our vision and assisted us with planning to meet Clarington's needs. And thanks to Bob Gowdy, the co-operating agent with Royal LePage. Mayor Mutton promised me three years ago that if I brought a hotel to Clarington he would make me "King of Clarington". Judging from the front page article in yesterday's paper I guess I'll have to wait for the honour. Thank you. Respectfull submitted. f~JYF-K/ p.o.

This matter is difficult to understand, as at our last meeting, Clarington gave 941807 Ontario Limited a report stating that the area between OPG and the Fifth Wheel was a proposed energy park. Now without proper notice of a public meeting, Clarington wants to change the zoning of this area. Yours truly, -p~ Gerald Hasiuk 941807 Ontario Limited
