This funding was conditional upon Lakeridge Health implementing a cost improvement plan to reduce annualized operating expenses by $8,000,000 in 2007/08 and developing business cases to consolidate services and fully leverage the Oshawa site. Marion Saunders stated the consolidation of services to the Oshawa site was of great concern to the Board as it causes unrest and uncertainty in the community and the Board feels the current Plan is correct with services where they are.

He also felt the municipality needed to attract more industrial and commercial assessment but felt the high taxes would hinder business from coming into Clarington.

Mr. Johnston stated Council has the unique opportunity to create history for Clarington by endorsing the campaign and giving the community a legacy of good health.

Dr. Osborne stated he was here tonight to give a physican's perspective on the necessity for the hospital expansion. Dr. Osborne stated there is a need for access to health care in the community. He noted the population is aging and the shortage of family physicians has resulted in an increased number of patients being treated in the Emergency Department. Dr. Osborne stated the physicians are in full support of the expansion, have contributed to the design and have donated to the campaign. On behalf of physicians and patients, he encouraged Council to support the funding request. In response to questions, Dr. Osborne stated physicians have financially supported the campaign. Dave Clarke, VP - Veridian and President - Clarington Board of Trade, addressed Council concerning the Touching Lives, A New Door to Emergency Care Campaign.

He stated as a resident of Clarington, the hospital is important to him personally and to the community. Mr. Clarke advised members of his family have had occasion to use the services of the Emergency Department and have received excellent professional care. He noted however, it is extremely frustrating for the professionals to work in the outdated facility. Mr. Clarke stated there has been tremendous community support for the campaign and urged Council to stand behind the campaign and vote "yes" for this initiative. Ernest Burnie, Ridge Pine Park (Wilmot Creek) addressed Council concerning the Touching Lives, A New Door to Emergency Care Campaign. Mr. Burnie stated Rice Developments is very proud to be a lead donor and have supported the hospital for ten years with $250,000 in pledged dollars.

Council Meeting Minutes - 5 - March 19, 2007 Dan Carter addressed Council concerning the Touching Lives, A New Door to Emergency Care Campaign stating good investment in the community can create a great opportunity. Mr. Carter advised Clarington will be the number one community to produce energy needs for Canada and billions of dollars will be made here. He advised of the need to ensure that the municipality has the facilities to look after the health care of not only new citizens but elderly residents. Mr. Carter felt it was imperative to send a message to the business and residents of the community that their health care needs will be met. He advised he was fully supportive of the campaign both as an individual and a business owner. In response to questions concerning the allocation of funding, Mr. Carter replied that he was not aware of the status of Provincial funding; however, he felt that Federal, Provincial and local politicians believe that this investment in the community is vital to the investment in energy needs and as Clarington is one of the preferred sites, it will be of utmost importance to have a strong hospital, schools, streets and infrastructure. Richard Olsen, VP, St. Marys Cement addressed Council concerning the Touching Lives, A New Door to Emergency Care Campaign. Mr. Olsen stated St. Marys is honoured to lend their support and have pledged $250,000 to the hospital's Emergency Department.

Brad Hill urged Council to approve the tax increase of $1.44 per month per household and leave an incredible legacy for generations to come. Gerry Johnston thanked Council for their time and consideration of the Foundation's request and also thanked Clarington residents for their continued support of their Committee and of the hospital. In response to questions concerning Provincial funding opportunities, Gerry Johnston replied they were told at the outset that there was no funding available and a decision was made to make the initiative a community project and to get the expansion completed with the efforts of the Committee and the community. In response to further questioning, Gerry Johnston confirmed the Campaign is a Committee that was formed on behalf of the Foundation and is separate from the LHIN and LHC and the money raised will stay in Bowmanville. Mr. Johnston indicated that the Committee is looking for a commitment from Council at this time and would have no objection to the funding being deferred.

Donna Metcalf-Woo addressed Council concerning the Touching Lives, A New Door to Emergency Care Campaign advising she has been employed at the Bowmanville hospital since 1978 and there have been many changes over the years. She noted the restriction of space, the frustration of staff, the lack of privacy, etc. Ms. Metcalf- Woo stated the project is necessary to respond to increased growth in Clarington and felt the $1.44 per household per month is very affordable to most Clarington residents for an immeasurable return. She requested Council's support of the initiative. Resolution #C-122-07 Moved by Councillor Novak, seconded by Councillor Foster THAT Council recess for ten minutes. "CARRIED" The meeting reconvened at 9:13 p.m. Council Meeting Minutes - 7- March 19,2007 Jim Richards addressed Council to reiterate his earlier request for a public meeting to be held to solicit the opinion of Clarington residents on the method of selecting the Regional Chair. Mr. Richards stated the taxpayers of the cities of Pickering and Oshawa and the Town of Ajax were consulted on the question and he felt it is the citizens right to a public forum. Mr. Richards noted there was a suggestion to put a question on the ballot in 2010, but he felt the issue needed to be addressed now and urged Council to hold a public meeting before the summer recess. Mr. Richards expressed concern that Council is shutting out citizens on a major governance issue. Kerry Meydam addressed Council requesting Council to hold an advertised public meeting on the method of selecting the Regional Chair. She expressed concern that previous requests to have a public meeting have been denied and questioned what harm would be done in listening to the point of view of others. Kerry Meydam stated she was not here to debate the merits of the direct election of the Regional Chair, but to request Council to reconsider their refusal to hold a public meeting. George VanDyk addressed Council concerning a public vote on the direct election of the Regional Chair. Mr. VanDyk stated the basic right of democracy is for citizens to choose their leaders and felt this right is being denied to the citizens of Clarington. He stated in the last election, Pickering, Ajax and Oshawa put a question on the ballot concerning the election of the Regional Chair and in each community the vote was for direct election of the position. Mr. VanDyk requested Council to entrust this basic right to the citizens of Clarington. Sam Wedlock addressed Council concerning a public vote on the direct election of the Regional Chair advising she was disappointed the request for a public meeting was denied and that the newly-elected Council decided to speak on behalf of the citizens of Clarington without seeking their opinion. Ms. Wedlock requested Council to reconsider their previous motion and to conduct a public meeting to hear what their constituents want. Sally Thurlow addressed Council concerning a public vote on the direct election of the Regional Chair expressing concern that Council is ignoring the citizens' rights to an open process by denying the public the opportunity to provide input on a major governance issue. Ms. Thurlow noted 87% of the citizens of Pickering, Ajax and Oshawa who were given the opportunity to voice their opinion voted in favour of change. She felt Council had a responsibility to hear the views of the taxpayers, and felt a public vote could only increase the credibility of the position of Regional Chair.

The OFA is requesting Council to adopt the following resolution: "WHEREAS the Government of Ontario posted its framework for the development of species at risk legislation on the Environmental Bill of Rights web site on December 22, 2006, the day that most municipal offices closed until the New Year, and WHEREAS the currently proposed language to address species at risk could impose moratoriums affecting the livelihoods of more than 1.2 million people and more than $100 billion in economic activity, and Council Meeting Minutes - 16- March 19, 2007 WHEREAS there are 12 Provincial and 5 Federal pieces of Legislation including the Federal Species At Risk Act (SARA) and the Provincial Endangered Species Act of 1971 that currently provide protection for some species, and WHEREAS the proposed new Ontario Species of Risk Legislation as written will: .

I have been a new resident of 61 Oke Road in Courtice since August 2006. I have been involved with the canvassing of neighbours regarding the potential opening of the end of Oke Road with new housing developments being built. Oke Road is a family oriented neighbourhood, which thrives on outdoor activities for our children that include playing ball hockey, basketball, skipping, running, riding bikes and walking dogs. I have loved the scenery and use of the farm at the end of our road. Children prefer to be outdoors rather than sitting inside playing computer games. There is nothing more wonderful than to hear their laughter. Our street is safe, clean and quiet. I would appreciate that council very carefully consider how decisions are going to affect us. If there is an opportunity to work with you regarding the above I would be more than happy to volunteer my time. Resl1ectfully submitted, )0~ WU0c( Mrs. Sabine Wood .07APR02 Pt1 2:07:58 March 30, 2007 CLARINGTON OLDER ADULT ASSOCIATION Mayor Jim Abernethy Municipality ofClarington 40 Temperance St. Bowmanville, ON Ll C 3A6 Dear Mayor Abernethy and Council: Access to health care in the community is an important issue that affects the aging population of Clarington.

Libby Racansky Request for Review of Hancock Plan April 2od, 2007 Picture this: Attractive energy-saving building with large colored windows would be built along the Nash Rd. Upper floor could consist of affordable luxury condos, lower floors would be smaller and affordable units for seniors, at lower level there would a nice coffee shop and restaurant possibly with terraces overlooking natural scenery, There would be shops that could be owned by the occupants, located at lower level would be parking spaces. If there would be a bus stop close by at Courtice Rd., people could be attracted to use this service rather than driving somewhere. Possibly, they could walk to the Courtice Library or Community Centre near by. Getting around and meeting people would be easy. The streams would be protected; there could be a footbridge over them with trails. Cost of servicing denser communities would be about 20 % less. Developers could obtain funds for this kind of development. This is the vision of the Growth Plan: "to offer an exceptional quality of life, in places where people want to live, work and enjoy nature, where water will be clean and air healthy". Instead, there are plans for sprawling cobweb of expensive roads, water and sewer pipes, where tributaries will be deleted and an aquifer drained. People will be forced to drive, use lawn movers thus creating even more air pollution. Poor school kids will not be able to go out for recess because of mosquitoes and wetness of the area chosen for school. Is this our Council's vision of our future communities? Ifnot, do not refer my request to review Hancock Neighbourhood to Planning because we would get nowhere. You are the ones who would have to decide about this change. Otherwise, pressure from developers will continue and you will not be able to stop it. Last Wednesday I had attended Workshop on the Implementation of the Growth and Greenbelt Plans, PPS and the other provincial initiatives, in Toronto. Among presenters were reps from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, Infrastructure, Planning Directors from Waterloo, Burlington, president of Builders Association and they all gave us examples of intensification. Of course, public consultation was the major part of their plans. Burlington and Waterloo will not accept undesirable architectural plans. New buildings have to be attractive, energy-friendly and livable, UieBdiy, eye pleasing, in natural setting. Clarington staff during the review of this Plan recognized that a review would be appropriate (Re # PSD-112-06, pg. 3). Sprawl is costing us dearly and it is degrading our water resources and air.
