Be it therefore resolved that the Code of Conduct Sub -Committee recommends

Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing create a searchable database of all
matters placed before all Integrity Commissioners within the province and the
resolution of such matters;
And further be it resolved that this resolution be circulated to all municipalities in
Ontario via the Association of Municipalities of Ontario.
6. Jennifer Astrologo, Director of Corporate Services/Clerk, Town of
Kingsville, Regarding Local Health Care Services
That the following resolution from Town of Kingsville, regarding Local Health Care
Services, be endorsed by the Municipality of Clarington:
Whereas public health care consistently ranks as the top priority in public opinion
polls, and;
Whereas Public Health provides vital health promotion and prevention services
based on the unique demographic and economic, social, and cultural needs of
our communities; and;
Whereas the evidence from hospital amalgamation in Ontario and across
Canada is that they have cost billions of dollars and have not yielded the
promised administrative savings but have taken money away from frontline care,
and;
Whereas there is no evidence to support the proposed closure of 25 out of 35
local Public Health Units, the closure of 12 of 22 local ambulance dispatch
centres, and the closure of 49 out of 59 local ambulance services, and;
Whereas there is a deep consensus among virtually all stakeholders that
increasing acuity in our long-term care homes requires additional staff and
resources, not cancellation of the two special funds and real dollar cuts to per
diem funding of our long-term care homes, and;
Whereas our local hospitals have been downsized for an entire generation and
cannot meet population needs while sustaining real dollar cuts to hospital global
budgets.
Therefore be it resolved:
That The Corporation of the Town of Kingsville calls upon the Ontario
government to halt the closures of, mergers of, and cuts to our local health care
services including Public Health Units, land ambulance services, hospitals and
long-term care homes and the Town of Kingsville forward this resolution to all
municipalities in the Province of Ontario.
