Council Minutes PRESENTATIONS - 3 - June 23, 2003 The Mayor presented Inspector Tom Cameron the Ontario Crime Control Commission Award of Excellence for Fighting Crime. Inspector Cameron was nominated for his work in expanding the Village Constable Program within the Municipality of Clarington. With this program, village constables are based in Newcastle, Bowmanville and Courtice and are responsible for police service delivery in town centre areas where shops and services are located and which tend to have traffic, crime and disorder problems associated to the larger numbers of people that are attracted to those areas. A Rural Beat Constable is based in the Village of Orono and is responsible for police service delivery including the identification and resolution of problems unique to farmers, property owners, and residents of our rural villages and hamlets. The village constable program has been extremely successful within the municipality. Bob Radcliffe, 1 ih Gathering of Cornish Cousins, provided Council with an update on the progress of the 12th Gathering of the Cornish Cousins which is being held in Bowmanville from July 23 to 27, 2003. This area was an important destination for Cornish immigrants in the 1840's, 50's and 60's. For this reason, the town was chosen by the Toronto Cornish Association as the site of the 2003 Gathering. In 24 years of Gatherings this is only the second one to be held in Canada, the other was 20 years ago in Victoria, BC. They are holding three events open to the general public as follows: 1. A Bardic Ceremony held on the grounds of Bowmanville Museum on Thursday, July 24,2003, at 4:15 p.m.; 2. Informal two hour concert of Cornish music and songs on Thursday, July 24, 2003, at 7:00 p.m. at the Bowmanville Museum; and 3. Male Voice Choir from two towns in Cornwall, Wadebridge and St. Columb on Friday, July 25, 2003, at 7:30 p.m. at the Bowmanville High School. . . . Council Minutes DELEGATIONS -4- June 23, 2003 Laura Berger, Region of Durham, Health Department, provided Council with an update of their West Nile Surveillance Programs. The Bird Surveillance Program began on April 14, 2003. To date 16 birds have been submitted for testing and 4 of those birds were submitted from Clarington. On June 5, 2003, the Region was advised that a crow from Clarington had tested positive for the West Nile Virus. On May 28, 2003, the Mosquito Surveillance Program began. Five traps have been set throughout the Region. To date there have been no positive results. This could be due to the colder weather that is happening during the night. Larviciding Surveillance began May 16, 2003, testing 120 ponds every 10 to 14 days. Fifteen of those ponds are from Clarington. The Catchbasin Larvicide Program began on June 15, 2003. A total of 26,617 catchbasins have been treated as of Friday, June 20, 2003. The Surface Water Treatment Program started this week. The Region has met with various By-law Enforcement Divisions and a training session will take place this Wednesday, June 25, 2003. A template for complaints is being drafted and will be circulated at the meeting on Wednesday. Kevin Anyan, Bowmanville Rotary Club, 33 O'Dell Street, Bowmanville, L 1 C 1 Z6, advised prior to the meeting that he would not be in attendance. Steve Tinmouth, 3862 Wilcox Road, Orono, LOM 1 MO, appeared before Council regarding the progress of closing the tunnel at Wilcox Road. He has been advised that the project has been approved, monies have been budgeted, design has been accepted and the tendering process has begun. Mr. Tinmouth thanked the Mayor and Members of Council with special thanks to Councillor Gord Robinson and Leslie Benson, Engineering Department. Andrew Rice, 62 Prospect Street, Bowmanville, L 1 C 3H2, appeared before Council on behalf of local residents regarding the acquisition of Lord Elgin Park. Mr. Rice noted that he has spoken to staff and he is very pleased that Council is taking an active part on the issue. This is a unique opportunity for acquiring park land. Mr. Rice stated that he is very happy that Council is considering long term goals. . Council Minutes DELEGATIONS . . - 5 - June 23, 2003 Evylin Stroud, 89 Little Avenue, Bowmanville, L 1C 1J9, appeared before Council regarding pesticides. At recent meetings Ms. Stroud has had the opportunity to listen to delegations regarding pesticides and chemicals and she is in total agreement with them. People who manufacture these pesticides and chemicals are not people who give bias information. Ms. Stroud requested Council to do everything possible locally and regionally to protect their citizens. Clay Melnike, Youth Vision Coordinator, United Way, Unit 407, 95 Bayly Street West, Ajax, L 1 S 7K8, appeared before Council announcing the Youth Vision Initiative Phase 1. The objectives of the Program are as follows: . To provide the necessary leadership and motivation to both youth services providers and youth themselves; To develop a series of youth partnerships to deal with key issues To develop a series of short term youth activities; To develop a long term plan that will improve opportunities for youth in Ajax, Pickering and Uxbridge, as well as all of Durham Region; and To find ongoing resources and partners to support the activities. . . . . They requested that a Member of Council and staff attend the Regional Youth Planning Meeting on July 10, 2003. Linda Gasser, P.O. Box 399,7421 Best Road, Orono, LOB 1 MO, appeared before Council regarding Bill 25. One of the changes contemplated by Bill 25 is to allow infrastructure corridor planning areas to be designated. Designation of the corridors would not be subject to the Environmental Assessment Act. This means that designation of infrastructure corridors would occur without a formal opportunity for broad stakeholder consultation and without public agency review at the earliest planning stages. Without thorough studies, such as those possible during an environmental assessment, we could not be sure that infrastructure corridors would be appropriately located or that they would take into account broad environmental, social and land use planning objectives. Bill 25 is not a master transportation planning exercise. Bill 25's intent is to designate land as quickly as possible, making sure it is available until the day when some government might come through with a project. . . . Council Minutes DELEGATIONS - 6- June 23, 2003 Possibly the only thing worse than having Highway 407 cut through the heart of Clarington would be to have a corridor designated under Bill 25, a corridor of uncertain width and length, having to wait for decades until an infrastructure project might be contemplated. In the meantime, the municipality would lose control of the planning agenda and individuals within a designated corridor would have no remedy as it would not be considered an expropriation. Ms. Gasser asked Council to do all they can to ensure that Bill 25 would not be applied to the 407 East Completion. She also requested that a public meeting date be set for the Highway 407 and to ensure the staff report is made available well in advance of the meeting. E. Acolina, 3 Glenelge Court, Bowmanville, L 1 C 4J1, was called but was not present. A. Braun, 626 Longworth Avenue, Bowmanville, L 1 C 5B8, was called but was not present. Steven Zakem, Aird & Berlis, BCE Place, Suite 1800,181 Bay Street, Toronto, M5J 2T9, indicated concurrence with the recommendations of the Director of Planning and Development related to Report PSD-077-03 and appeared before Council to answer questions. John Lay, The Durham Indoor Soccer Centre, 50 Whitecliffe Drive, Courtice, L 1 E 1T2, appeared before Council regarding Report CSD-013-03. Mr. Lay is the owner of an Indoor Soccer Centre located in Oshawa. He noted in Section 3.0 of Report CSD-013-03 the building is to be a multi use facility. When he opened his own facility he tried to run it with the same illusion -- no one was playing tennis or playing lawn bowling. Mr. Lay also questioned Section 1.3 of the report which states that "they are unable to secure sufficient and age-appropriate facilities to meet the ever increasing demand for indoor soccer." This is untrue, the municipality can secure as much as 60 hours at his facility at a cost of $3.25/hour for junior players and $6.50/hour for adults. He noted that the soccer fields are not well maintained. The money proposed for this new facility would pay to resurface 10 to 15 mini fields with artificial turf. . . . Council Minutes DELEGATIONS - 7 - June 23, 2003 Mr. Lay put together his own questionnaire asking parents if they would like the Municipality to upgrade the outdoor playing fields or have a new indoor facility built. He received 23 responses back, all requesting that the outdoor playing fields be upgraded. He proposed that before approving the $150,000 consultant fees, Council should take $2,000 and send post cards to all the parents of the Darlington Soccer Club questioning where they would like to have their money spent. The majority want decent outdoor fields. lain Alexander on behalf of Sherry Bonazza, Darlington Soccer Club, appeared before Council in support of Report CSD-013-03. He advised that dealing with the Municipality throughout the years regarding soccer fields was once very confrontational, but not now. He noted that new fields will be installed this year at the hydro fields. Mr. Alexander noted that there are 28,000 soccer players in Durham and that the new indoor facility will be filled the first year. The Darlington Soccer Club is fully committed to fund raising events to help support the new indoor soccer facility. Jeff Brooks, Clarington Museums Transitional Board, appeared before Council regarding Correspondence Item D - 3. In late April 2003, the Board was granted the use of the lower library subject to the Board not seeking any additional funding from the municipality. During the Board's May meeting, the financial plan was adopted, which stated that the museum could handle the cost of the lower library by seeking other forms of funding. Mr. Brooks advised that the Board has received two federal grants. One of the grants was provided for the moving of items from the Hampton Community Centre. The Board is looking forward to a timely decision on the matter and they are looking forward to moving into the building. Resolution #C-360-03 Moved by Councillor Schell, seconded by Councillor Robinson THAT Council recess of 10 minutes. "CARRIED" Council reconvened at 8:55 p.m. . . . Council Minutes DELEGATIONS COMMUNICATIONS - 8 - June 23, 2003 Doug Allingham, Totten Sims Hubicki Associates, 300 Water Street, Whitby, L 1 N 9J2, provided Council with a powerpoint presentation on Highway 407, Draft EA Terms of Reference Highway 407 East Completion.

His presentation highlighted the following: . Background; · Contents of the Draft Environmental Assessment Terms of Reference; . Purpose of the Peer Review; . Observations on the Draft Terms of Reference; . Observations on Evaluating the Natural Environment; . Consultation; and . Other Observations. Correspondence Item I - 32 was distributed as a handout. . . . Council Minutes COMMUNICATIONS 1-1 E05.GE 1-2 A01.GR 1- 3 M02.GE P14.GE - 9 - June 23, 2003 Resolution #C-361-03 Moved by Councillor Trim, seconded by Councillor Rowe THAT the communications to be received for information, including Item I - 32, which was received as a handout, be approved with the exception of Items 1-12,1- 20,1- 21 and 1- 26. "CARRIED" David McGuinty, President and CEO, National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy, providing Council with a copy of the State of the Debate report Environmental Quality in Canadian Cities: The Federal Role. (Received for Information) Joe Valela, President, Greater Toronto Home Builders' Association (GTHBA), advising Council that GTHBA strongly supports mortgage interest deductibility. The fact is Canadians, Ontarians and Torontonians want to own their own home. It is their lifetime dream and their largest single purchase. Government(s) should support them in this goal - not encumber them with additional fees. The current proposal in the Ontario PC party platform is a modest one and should be seen as a beginning. The suggestion that somehow supporting home ownership infringes on the sanctity of the tax system is plain wrong. Mr. Valela would rather see government policy support the wish of a young family to meet their dream, than accept the academic diatribes of an economist who wishes to defend the integrity of a tax system where none exists. (Received for Information) Andy Koopmans, Executive Director, Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario, writing to Marie Knight Stanley, Deputy Clerk, thanking her for the EA Danby Award submission regarding the Municipality of Clarington's Community Animal Shelter. The Association received a total of six submissions for 2003 and, while the Nominating committee was impressed with all of the submissions, they have selected the Town of Richmond Hill's Employee Wellness Program as the 2003 recipient of the E.A. Danby Award. (Received for Information) . . .

Until July 2, 2003, community groups and others looking for funding to help prepare a proposal for a housing project can now submit applications for this year's funding for a new Seed Funding initiative. (Received for Information) Glenn Case, Project Director, Port Hope Area Initiative, inviting Council to participate in the new step in the selection of "alternative means" of carrying out the Port Granby Project. An open house will be held at the Newtonville Community Hall, 10 Church Street, Newtonville, between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 24, 2003. (Received for Information) . Council Minutes - 11 - June 23, 2003 COMMUNICATIONS 1-10 D21.GE George Graham, Clerk-Administrator, the Township of Brock, advising Council that the Township of Brock on May 12, 2003, passed a resolution unanimously supporting the intent of the resolution passed by the Municipality of Clarington regarding the Iter Project. (Received for Information) I - 11 F22.GE City Clerk, City of Toronto, providing Council with a copy of Clause No. 32b contained in Report No. 14 of the Administration Committee, headed "Improving the Quality of Property Assessment Services Delivered to Ontario Municipalities and Ratepayers" which was adopted by the Council of the City of Toronto at its meeting held on April 14, 15 and 16, 2003. (Received for Information) 1-13 E05.GE Claude Fortin, Chief Municipal Wastewater Effluents Division, Environmental Protection Service, Environment Canada, advising that Environment Canada is proposing to use pollution prevention planning under Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, for ammonia dissolved in water, inorganic chloramines and chlorinated wastewater effluents as a first step of a long-term strategy for managing wastewater effluents. The Proposed Notice outlines requirements for owners, including municipalities, of selected wastewater collection and treatment systems to prepare and implement pollution prevention plans. This is a flexible instrument which encourages system-wide reviews and life cycle consideration of system design and operation. (Received for Information) . 1-14 C10.MO P.M. Madill, Regional Clerk, Region of Durham, writing to The Honourable Ernie Eves, advising Council that the Region of Durham on May 28, 2003, passed the following resolution: "THAT the following proposed resolution be approved for distribution to Ontario Premier Ernie Eves, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and all local MPP's, and that copies be forwarded to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), Durham's local Area Municipalities, other Regions and the Opposition parties; . THAT whereas, the three main political parties in Ontario have now issued their policy platforms and the Progressive Conservation Party platform includes a proposal to extend the force of the "Taxpayer Protection Acf' to municipalities; . Council Minutes COMMUNICATIONS . . - 12- June 23, 2003 THAT whereas"... Voter approval will be required before a municipal council introduces a new tax or increases the rate of an existing tax" ("The Road Ahead: A Fair Deal for Municipalities Policy Paper" - Attachment #1 to Report #2003-F-44). Further, while municipalities under the Progressive Conservation Party proposals would be able to propose new taxes to raise money for a 'specific' program or project, rules include requirements to tax only gasoline sales, rental of hotel or motel rooms and/or the use of parking spaces. Also, the targeted program or project is required "to be clearly identified in a referendum question," with the municipality then "clearly accounting for how the new revenue was spent"; THAT whereas this would have a significant negative effect on day-to-day operations of municipal governments, which differ greatly from that of the Province; THAT whereas the cost of requiring a reference across the Regional Municipality of Durham for upper tier purposes could reach approximately $500,000 to $600,000 with a similar cost to the lower tier municipalities for a total unnecessary cost of $1 ,000,000 to $1,200,000 for Region of Durham taxpayers; THAT whereas these costs exclude additional costs related to the launching of public education programs, printing and staff time required to disseminate sufficient budget information for an informed vote on a referendum question; THAT whereas municipal governments are very different from the Provincial Government in a very fundamental way, since municipalities are the only government level without indexed revenues. While Provincial and Federal Governments have revenues that increase over time, municipalities have no similar 'automatic' adjustment and can only increase tax rates through direction of Council (despite many costs e.g. salaries, utilities and fuel, fluctuating with inflation levels); THAT whereas increased property values as a result of annual Province-side reassessments do not result in increased municipal tax revenues, since tax rates are adjusted to make reassessments revenue neutral; . Council Minutes COMMUNICATIONS . . - 13 - June 23, 2003 THAT whereas municipalities are already subject to constraints in setting property tax increases due to Provincially mandated rules regarding property tax capping regulation and policies; THAT whereas municipalities are already required to maintain balanced budgets, and already have very significant revenues and costs that are beyond the control of the municipality, including fluctuations in Provincial and Federal subsidy levels, requirements to maintain service standards developed by the Province, and significant and fluctuating GTA Pooling impacts; THAT whereas the proposal to appoint an Ontario Municipal Services Quality Auditor to annually review the spending of large municipalities (over 50,000) and look at smaller municipalities upon request, seems to be contrary to Provincial practice, when the Province has refused previous requests from GT A partners to have a Provincial Auditor verify GTA Pooling figures and other Provincially mandated programs which significantly impact Municipal tax payers every year; THAT whereas the Provincial legislation (Taxpayer Protection Act, 1999) contains a number of exemptions for the Province, including exemptions for federal tax law changes and revenue decreases, it is unclear whether municipalities will receive similar exemptions for budget fluctuations beyond municipal control; THAT whereas since these bills were proclaimed, the Province has passed legislation allowing it to override rules, so that promised income and corporate tax cuts (2002), subsequently revoked, would not be deemed to be tax increases; THAT whereas there was no indication of a referendum policy at pre-consultation meetings under the 'Memorandum of Understanding' or during discussions leading to the new Municipal Act, that resulted in stringent public notice and consultation requirements for the preparation of municipal budgets and tax rates; . Council Minutes - 14- June 23, 2003 COMMUNICATIONS THAT whereas the new Municipal Act was initially heralded by the Provincial Government as a route to greater autonomy and flexibility for Ontario municipalities and the new legislation and its regulations and current election platform proposals take us farther from these goals; THAT whereas municipalities already are accountable to constituents through regularly scheduled elections held every three years and also regularly report to constituents in a number of ways, including publication of Performance Measurement Reports, annual audited financial statements, annual remuneration and expense disclosures for elected officials and staff (over $100,000 per annum) and public meetings for financing proposals such as annual budgets and development charges; and . NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Regional Municipality of Durham strongly urges the Progressive Conservation Party to exclude any requirement for referendums on new taxes, tax rate increases and/or new sources of revenue, as this policy would be unnecessary, unworkable in the municipal context, not cost-justified and would have serious ramifications for municipalities trying to provide essential services to constituents, while paying for services downloaded from the Provincial Government. Further, Municipalities already have very open and accountable financial and budgeting systems, MPMP reports, internal accountability measures, new Municipal Act accountability measures, and accountability requirements for grant programs which are workable."

In August 2002, MOE staff responded to several complaints from residents, located in the Queen Street area of Bowmanville, regarding black soot from the plant that caused damage to their homes and properties. Inspection of the plant and the results of the ministry's sampling confirmed that the Goodyear Canada Inc. plant was the source of the discharge, and a Provincial Officer's Order was issued. The non-compliance was forwarded to the ministry's Investigations and Enforcement Branch (IEB) which conducted an investigation and charged Goodyear Canada Inc. under section 14 of the Environmental Protection Act on February 26, 2003. Prior to the completion of the IEB investigation, the company appealed the Provincial Officer Order, and as a result, a Director's Order was issued on October 2,2002. Goodyear Canada Inc. has complied with the Director's Order. Ministry staff have met with concerned area residents and will help to develop a community liaison committee that would involve all parties, including Goodyear Canada Inc. .
