(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.

Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), advising Council
that the WSIB has released a paper Coverage Under the Ontario
Workplace Safety and Insurance Act. The paper outlines a number
of issues including the difficulty of determining who should and
should not be covered. The paper also deals with coverage issues
of independent operators. Many municipal officials feel that the
issue of who is covered by the WSIB will have little impact on local
government because they are already under the Act. 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 Honourable James M. Flaherty, Minister of Finance, thanking
Council for their letter dated November 5, 2001, regarding the
assessment treatment and the ongoing assessment appeals on the
Darlington Nuclear Generating Station and other nuclear and fossil
fuel generating stations in Ontario. He recognizes that the
assessment treatment of these facilities is of great interest to
Clarington and other municipalities that have such property within
their borders. The Ministry of Finance also has an interest in the
assessment and tax treatment of these facilities to the extent that
the application of provincial legislation reflects the policy intent of
the government. The Ministry of Finance staff have met with
municipal staff, Ontario Power Generation representatives, and the
Municipal Property Assessment Corporation, in efforts to
understand the issues involved. The meeting was held on
December 12, 2001, and he understands various issues were
discussed including the assessment treatment of vacuum buildings,
water intake/structures, revetment walls, water lots and
exclusionary zones, as well as the method of measurement used in
assessing generating buildings.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Individual athletes have been selected to play for Team Ontario
while four of their players have gone on to represent Canada in
international events such as the Pan Am Games. The cost of

uniforms, tournament costs, new equipment and volleyballs, travel
and overnight stays in hotels. The decision of the Kawartha Pine
Ridge School Board to impose user fees on their club has put extra

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.
