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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

State of the Debate report Environmental Quality in Canadian

(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.

"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"... 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;

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;

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."

Chris Stockwell, Minister of the Environment (MOE), writing to
Council regarding the Goodyear Canada Inc. plant in Bowmanville.
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.

support from the Municipality for larviciding municipal catch basins
on private property. The larviciding program currently ongoing
through the Health Department is targeting only those catch basins
on municipal and regional property. Private property owners who

have to apply for a permit from MOE, will require a letter from the
local Medical Officer of Health supporting the treatment and as well
a letter from the local municipality where it would be applied.
Earlier this season local municipalities did provide a letter
authorizing the Durham Region Health Department to apply a
larvicide on municipal property. MOE has now indicated that they
will not process any private property larvicide application permits
unless an additional letter from the local municipalities is
forthcoming.
