The general base levy chargeable to the Municipality of Clarington is $177,124.62. (Received for Information) Association of Municipalities of Ontario, advising Council that the Minister of Transportation confirms his intent to proceed with Highway Maintenance Standards Regulation as means to help municipalities manage liability. Bill 86, Better Local Government Act (1996), amended various municipal statutes, including the Municipa/ Act, to allow the Minister of Transportation to issue a regulation establishing minimum standards of repair of municipal roads and bridges as an optional means of dealing with liability. The regulatory approach is intended to provide municipalities with a better defense against negligent claims that a road or bridge is not in a reasonable state of repair if the regulatory minimum standards have been met. Regulatory standards provide a more predictable management of risks and liability and are expected to be an improvement over the current process whereby judges determine the standard of care.

The WSIB is currently holding hearings on the coverage paper, and final comments are due March 28th. Recommendations will be made to the Minister of Labour in June 2002, and changes to the Act may be implemented as early as next year.

The Ministry of the Solicitor General has participated in amending the Municipal Act giving municipalities the power to prohibit excessive fortifications and the use of excessive protective elements. Previously the "supremacy" of the Building Code Act precluded municipalities from enacting by-laws that dealt with building construction requirements. As the Building Code only prescribed the minimum requirements, landowners, such as Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMG) had no limit on exceeding building requirements. . . . Council Minutes COMMUNICATIONS 1-22 M06.GE - 13 - April 2, 2002 Many municipalities across Ontario are, or will be, enacting by-laws to address excessive fortification of land/buildings. This will likely involve increased enforcement responsibilities on the part of other police services.

"CARRIED" Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), advising Council of the issues dealt with at the February AMO Board of Directors Meeting.

(Correspondence forwarded to the Orono BIA, the Newcastle BIA and the Bowmanville Business Centre) D - 3 Philip Nixon, writing to Council objecting to the proposed Plan of D14.ZBA.2002.002 Subdivision ZBA.2002.002 submitted by Sylvan Estates and Bennett Development Inc. Although there are many reasons to criticize the plan, among them overcrowding and proximity to railroad traffic, the most serious flaw is the inevitable damage to the environment. A creek runs through the low-lying ground adjacent to Broken Front Concession, Part Lot 7 and empties into Lake Ontario. An environment testing company recently recorded that several species of fish spawn at the mouth of that creek, fish that ultimately enrich the stocks of fish in the lake. There is another equally important environmental aspect of that area. It is a nesting ground for ducks. Each year ten or fifteen ducks and their ducklings occupy the weedy pond for months at a time. Moreover, the banks along the subdivision's southern edges are home to hundreds of swallows. . Council Minutes - 15 - April 2, 2002 COMMUNICATIONS Flocks of those birds swoop through the summer twilight, devouring troublesome insects like flies and mosquitoes. (Correspondence referred to the Director of Planning Services) D-5 F11.GE Patricia A. Hewes, Coordinator, Palliative Care Alliance for Durham Region, advising that she is very distressed to learn of the financial crisis facing Hospice Durham. Ms. Hewes states that one of the reasons she accepted the part time position as the coordinator with the Palliative Care Alliance for Durham Region was because of her experience with the problems faced by patients and their families in end-of-life situations. Like so many others, she assumed that Hospice Durham received the majority of its funding from the government and that the fundraising they do was to help fill in the gaps. She was shocked to hear how inadequately they are funded when the demand for their services continues to grow at such a rapid pace. It would be devastating to the community to lose an agency that already does so much with the very limited financial resources it has. . (Advised of actions taken with respect to Report CSD-08-02) D-6 F11.GE Mary Woodside, urging Council to provide financial support necessary to see Hospice Durham continue as a viable entity in Durham Region. Hospice Durham is an essential service which has been providing supportive care to palliative care patients and their families for the past 10 years. (Advised of actions taken with respect to Report CSD-08-02) D-7 F11.GE Carole Keys, Hearth Place Cancer Support Centre, providing Council a copy of a letter she sent to the Honourable Tony Clement, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care regarding the future of Hospice Durham. Without the help and support of Hospice, patients and their families would have had a very difficult time coping with their illnesses and care giving. Many would have had to spend more time in the hospital without the support of Hospice. Ms. Keys is urging Council to make certain that the financial support that is required to keep Hospice Durham functioning in our community is provided. (Advised of actions taken with respect to Report CSD-08-02) . . . . Council Minutes COMMUNICATIONS D-8 F11.GE D-9 F11.GE D - 10 F11.GE - 16- April 2, 2002 Trish Hambly, Hospice Volunteer, requesting Council to financially support Hospice Durham. Hospice Durham is an essential service which has been providing supportive care to palliative care patients and their families for the past 10 years. With the changes in the health care delivery system there is a greater reliance on volunteers than ever before. Caregivers are burnt out and homecare services that are already limited require the augmentation of fully trained and dedicated volunteers. This is simply the most economic, efficient and sensible response to a growing community need. (Advised of actions taken with respect to Report CSD-08-02) Laurel Hamilton, Community Advantage Rehabilitation Inc., writing to The Honourable Tony Clement, Minister of Health and Long Term Care, concerning the possible closure of Hospice Durham. Hospice Durham has been a very supportive and caring agency for those who are dying of cancer and for their family members who are stretched to the limit. Ms. Hamilton advises that she is a palliative social worker who has made numerous referrals to Hospice Durham for the families of whom she has been working with. Hospice Durham cannot function and administer the services of such valued volunteers without financial support from the government. (Advised of actions taken with respect to Report CSD-08-02) Dr. Howard Burke, requesting Council help Hospice Durham financially. Dr. Burke is an active member of the Bowmanville Palliative At-Home and At-Hospital Care Team (PACT). As a physician who does many palliative care consults, he has extensive experience with the fabulous and extremely valuable work that Hospice Durham does to support the many citizens of Ontario who are in the unfortunate situation of dying. Hospice Durham is an integral part of providing comprehensive care, especially in this age of cutbacks to other services like hospitals. Hospice Durham must be the most cost effective organization to the people and government of Ontario, as the volunteers of this agency are integral in helping to keep dying patients at home well, with the ability to decrease hospital admissions and decrease nursing visits, through their support of the patient and the family. (Advised of actions taken with respect to Report CSD-08-02) . . . Council Minutes COMMUNCATIONS D - 24 M02.GE D -1 L 11.GE D-4 D19.ST - 17- April 2, 2002 Suzanne Elston, Volunteer Coordinator, Earth Day Canada, requesting Council to proclaim the month of April as "Earth Month." Ms. Elston is also requesting the use of the foyer of the Municipal Administrative Centre to set up a display of posters and brochures during this period. (Proclaimed and permission granted to use the Municipal Administrative Centre foyer for display) Bill Daniell, President, The Kaitlin Group Ltd., providing Council with a copy of an article from the Toronto Star entitled "Projects tread water while waiting for funds", which details how a number of Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail projects around the Greater Toronto Area are currently awaiting news of 'Ontario Superbuild' funding. The Kaitlin Group has assisted with a study of the Municipality's waterfront opportunities for the Newcastle lands this past Fall and this process culminated in the preparation of a preferred plan for the area, based upon input received at several public meetings. Following this time, it has been in the Municipality's hands to officially endorse the plan and pursue possible funding sources, such as 'Superbuild', while these were still available. Mr. Daniell is urging Council to accelerate and finalize the intentions for this area, before available funding opportunities begin to disappear. Resolution #C-180-02 Moved by Councillor Rowe, seconded by Councillor Schell THAT Correspondence Item D - 1 be referred to the Planning Services Department. "CARRIED" Jessica Reaman a 12-year-old resident, requesting Council to change the street name of Birchfield Drive, Courtice. There is a court that is just off of Birchfield Drive that is called Birchfield Court that has the same house number as Ms. Reaman, which causes much confusion. Ms. Reaman has a few suggestions for the new name: Oakfield Drive Cloverleaf Maplefield. . . . Council Minutes COMMUNICATIONS D - 11 E05.GE - 18- April 2, 2002 Resolution #C-181-02 Moved by Councillor Rowe, seconded by Councillor Schell THAT Correspondence Item D - 4 be received; THAT the correspondence be referred to the Director of Planning Services to initiate the process for clarifying the issue of duplicate street numbers on Birchfield Drive and Birchfield Court and report back to the General Purpose and Administration Committee; and THAT Jessica Reaman be advised of Council's decision. "CARRIED" Mike Slocombe, Operations Technician, Region of Durham, providing Council with a suggested "Notice to Property Owners" to destroy noxious weeds and a suggested resolution directing the Regional Weed Inspectors to enforce the provisions of the Weed Control Act in the Municipality of Clarington. As allowed for under section 16 of the Act, the Region requires that Council pass a resolution directing the Regional Weed Inspector(s) to: . Destroy any noxious weeds or weed seeds on any subdivided portions of the municipality and on lots not exceeding 10 acres. . The municipality advertise in a newspaper having general circulation in your municipality notice of this action. Resolution #C-182-02 Moved by Councillor Schell, seconded by Councillor Rowe THAT the Council of the Municipality of Clarington authorizes the publication of a Public Notice, regarding the destruction of weeds under the provision of the Weed Control Act, R.S.O. 1990 Chapter W.5 of the Province of Ontario and directs the Regional Weed inspectors to cause noxious weeds or weed seeds to be destroyed in such a manner as they may deem proper and that the expenses incurred by the said Weed Inspectors in the discharge of their duties be placed on the Collector's Roll of this municipality against the respective parcels concerned and that such amounts be collected in the same manner as taxes under The Municipal Act. "CARRIED" . . . Council Minutes COMMUNICATIONS D - 12 E05.PO D - 13 C10.MO - 19- April 2, 2002 John Stephenson, Secretary and the former members of the Clarington Low Level Radioactive Waste Advisory Committee informing Council that they have formed the "Stakeholder's Port Granby Low Level Radioactive Waste Site Committee" in order to have input into the environmental screening process which has recently been initiated by NRCan and the other responsible Authorities. This Stakeholders Committee believes that the design proposal put forward by Clarington Municipal Council, and currently adopted by the proponent {the Low Level Radioactive Waste Management Office (LLRWMO)} is, in most respects, a good proposal, and they support this proposal. However, for optimum performance over the long term (say 500 years) they are recommending that the barrier to ground water flow from the north and east be improved by excavating a 15 to 20 metre deep trench on the north side of the site. Further, that stainless steel piling be driven into the ground from the bottom of the trench down to the Lower Till in order to try to ensure the integrity of the barrier to ground water flow. They think that this proposal will stop the flow of ground water through the East Gorge, and will eliminate the need to move the water from the East Gorge and to construct a new engineered storage mound. Mr. Stephenson is requesting that Council recognize and support the stakeholders group. Resolution #C-183-02 Moved by Councillor Schell, seconded by Councillor Robinson THAT Correspondence Item D - 12 be referred to the Planning Services Department.

"CARRIED" . . . Council Minutes COMMUNICATIONS D - 18 L01.0M D - 20 A01.FE - 26- April 2, 2002 Municipality of Grey Highlands, requesting Council's support for an Ontario Divisional Court appeal that is of provincial significance and is asking other municipalities for a small financial contribution. The appeal is against an OMB ruling that "water taking is not a land use" and the exclusion at the hearing of evidence on the potential environmental impacts of water taking. The ruling was based on the Chair's assertion that water could be considered a "food" and can therefore be considered an agricultural product. A local planning association, the Grey Association for Better Planning (GABP), successfully sought leave to appeal the OMB decision before the Ontario Divisional Courts on the basis of two errors in law: 1. in finding that water taking is not a land use; and 2. in refusing to apply sections of the Official Plan related to the taking of water This case is of provincial importance in that if the appeal is successful, water taking will be viewed as a land use. This may give municipalities the jurisdiction to apply planning considerations to proposed water taking locations, treating water taking in much the same way as aggregate extraction.
