advising Council that the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission

nuclear generating station a five-year operating licence. The
licence was granted following two days of hearings before the

2003, will be valid until February 29, 2008. Darlington Nuclear's
four CANDU reactors provide approximately 3400 megawatts of

restructuring activities have focused on attaining greater levels of
integration and alignment within the organization. Along with
efficiency gains, this relocation of about 450 engineers and expert
staff will save time and money by having key resources and staff
much closer to the work sites at Pickering and Darlington. OPG will
be issuing shortly a Request for Proposal to design, build and lease
back this new 115,000 sq. ft. facility. The facility should be ready
for occupancy in late 2004 or in early 2005.

Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), advising Council that
the Government of Canada's 2003 Budget does little to alleviate
pressure on crumbling community infrastructure and gridlock. Over
the next 1 0 years, the Budget commitment is $3 billion, with $2
billion allocated to the Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund and $1
billion to smaller infrastructure projects. The Budget, however,
allocates only $100 million next year and $150 million in 2004-
2005. There is no certainty regarding how or when the remaining
funds will be allocated. The budget also does not meet the needs
of small, rural and northern communities by failing to commit to the
funding flexibility needed to ensure communities without the
capacity to participate in traditional tripartite funding arrangements
proceed with needed water and transportation projects. FCM has
asked for 1.2 billion this year for transportation, transit and
environmental infrastructure, and for affordable housing and
homelessness initiatives. This Budget delivered less than one third
of the minimum amount needed.

Marianne White, Biosolids Co-ordinator, Ministry of the
Environment Central Region York Durham District Office, advising
Council that a formal presentation on the Sewage Biosolids
Program will not be made to the Council by the Ministry of the
Environment. Any presentation that the Ministry would make on
this program would repeat the information that Ms. Elaine Collis of
the Regional Municipality of Durham presented to the Council on
December 2, 2002. However, this does not mean that the Ministry
will not address the questions that Council members may have.
Ms. White suggests that if the Members of Council have specific
questions regarding the Ministry's responsibilities and actions
relating to biosolids utilization in Clarington, these questions be
forwarded to the York-Durham District Office of the Ministry of the

keeping the community and the Province's urban and wilderness

portion of their very limited budget must come from membership
fees from local governments to demonstrate local support for their

governments. Annual membership fees start at only $95.00 for a

that the Municipality of Trent Hills passed the following resolution:
"WHEREAS, the Municipality of Trent Hills owns and
operates three small drinking water systems with service
populations of 725 persons (Village of Warkworth), 1260
persons (Village of Hastings) and 3,647 persons (Town of
Campbellford);
AND WHEREAS, the construction of regulated upgrades to
the water treatment facilities represents a major expense to
the limited customer base for the three centres, even after
factoring in the OSTAR funding for the projects;
AND WHEREAS, an alarming trend of escalating high costs
through the combined impact of the Drinking Water
Protection Regulation 459/00, Bill 195, the Safe Drinking
Water Act, and of Bill 175, the Sustainable Water and Sewer
Systems Act, has resulted in an immediate increase in daily
operating expenses and annual capital investment
necessary to meet the high standards set by the Province of
Ontario;
AND WHEREAS, a similar trend will unfold as small urban
centres across Ontario begin a similar analysis process;
AND WHEREAS, to fund the Municipal portion of the costs,
it will be necessary to borrow capital funds over lengthy
debenture periods which will add additional significant costs
to the limited customer base, as well as increased labour
and material costs, additional testing and compliance
monitoring, new and improved machinery to contribute to
immediate cost increases;

AND WHEREAS, a similar concern can be raised for health
and safety needs in the areas of wastewater treatment and
road and bridge infrastructure where an equal investment
will be required as the Province of Ontario continues to
target infrastructure for improvement through comparable
legislation;
AND WHEREAS, the result of escalating costs to the user
pay systems will be negative growth as small centres
become less and less viable as residential and business
centres;
AND WHEREAS, the demonstrated trend towards escalating
monthly user fees will negatively impact the sustainability of
small urban centres which will be in jeopardy relative to the
major urban centres in the surrounding area;
AND WHEREAS, the cost of the new Provincial Statutes and
Regulations will threaten the sustainability of "Small Town
Ontario";
BE IT RESOVLED THAT the Council of the Municipality of
Trent Hills requests that the Provincial government
recognize and acknowledge the unsustainable burden being
placed on "Small Town Ontario" and that a new funding
formula be developed to eliminate the high costs associated
with mandated drinking water system upgrades in order to
ensure that small urban centres can not only grow but,
