Minutes

approve time release of commercial property. They expect this issue to be addressed in
the Clarington Commercial Policy Review (CPR). They are concerned that the early
development of the A YT site would negatively impact the Bowmanville West Main Central
Area, in general, and, in particular, the Valiant site. She further stated that the most
significant conflict between Valiant's plans and the AYT application is the home
improvement store. Ms. Townsend Renaud requested that Council allow Valiant to finish
the tasks that were assigned to them.
Mr. Tenzin Gyaltsan, Newcastle IGA spoke in opposition of this application. He urged the
Municipality of Clarington not to allow this development application to proceed further. He
feels it is contrary to the Municipality's Official Plan and that it will have a devastating
impact on the downtown business of Newcastle Village.
Ron Hooper, Chairman BIA, spoke in opposition to this application. Mr. Hooper stated that
the BIA is opposed to any large development that is not along the King Street corridor, and
further, the BIA is only in support of any development when the population warrants it. The
BIA is concerned that customers would just enter the Municipality off of Highway 401 and
never venture to the downtown corridor.
Ira Kagan, Kagan Shastri spoke on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Kagan feels that both the
AYT and Valiant Property Management applications should be considered at the same
time. He feels that the proposal will help secure the role of Bowmanville as the eastern
anchor of the Region and the dominant urban centre in Clarington. Mr. Kagan stated that
A YT is committed to the extension of municipal services to this eastern portion of
Bowmanville sooner than anticipated by the Region, thereby helping this area develop in
the near future. The applicant feels that the proposal will enhance the existing
transportation network and further enhance the development potential of lands in the
eastern portion of Bowmanville. The application has been amended to remove the grocery
store and department store.

David Crome, Director of Planning Services, introduced the presentation of Andrea Gabor and
Tim Smith, Urban Strategies, regarding Clarington Energy Business Park Study. He reported that
50% of the project has been funded by the Federal Government and other partners include the
Region, Board of Trade, the University of Toronto, Gartner-Lee Limited, Delphi Group, and Totten
Sims Hubicki.
Andrea Gabor provided the background of the Energy Business Park Study. She stated that the
study started last fall and the partnership has given the whole team a great synergy. The site has
unique attributes including good access and high visibility; set between the Darlington Plant and
the Darlington Park. The plan is to promote the South Courtice Employment Lands as the focal
point and centerpiece for development within the growing Durham Energy Cluster. The presenter
defined a cluster is a powerful partnership between political and business entities with a single
focus on economic development. Several interviews have been conducted with various
stakeholders. There were four concept options contemplated: Targeted Energy Sector Park,
Energy Manufacturing Park, Energy Research and Demonstration Park, and Integrated Energy
and Environment Park. The vision for the energy park is an integrated business, research and
demonstration park. The goal for the park is to have a global design by using green
development. Project Implementation will include Official Plan and rezoning amendments. The
timeline for the project is difficult to predict as there are many influencing factors including
marketing, and the energy and enthusiasm of the project team. Funding, development charges
and incentives were briefly discussed.

COMMENTS
2.0
2.1 A2005/012 was an application to reduce the setback for a detached accessory building.
The request was to reduce the interior side yard setback from 1.2 metres to 0.33
metres, and to reduce the rear yard setback from 1.2 metres to 0 metres. Staff
determined that the applicant had constructed the shed over the property line, and
would therefore have to move the structure. Staff's recommendation was a reduction of
the side yard setback to 0.9 metres, and the rear yard setback to 0.6 metres, as the
applicant was concerned that moving the shed too far would require the removal of
branches on an existing tree. Two neighbouring residents spoke in favour of the
application, and staff received four letters stating no opposition to the proposal. Staff
did receive one letter in opposition to the application. Hearing Staff's recommendation,
the applicant requested a side and rear yard setback of 0.6 metres, and Committee
chose to approve the application for those distances.
2.2 A2005/015 was an application to reduce the required rear yard setback from 7.5 metres
to 3.92 metres for an existing dwelling to permit the creation of a new lot. This
application was a requirement of the land division application (LD2005/070). The land
division altered the easterly property line from the defined interior side yard to the rear
yard, and the existing structure was within that setback. Staff recommended that the
variance be applied to the existing dwelling only, forcing any redevelopment to comply
with the requirements of the zone. Committee agreed with Staff's recommendation and
approved the reduction of the rear yard setback from 7.5 metres to 3.92 metres for the
existing dwelling only.

2.3 Applications A2005/011 , A2005/016 and A2005/017 were approved as applied for.
2.4 Application A2005/013 was withdrawn from consideration as it was determined that the
proposal did not fall within the mandate of the Committee of Adjustment under the
Planning Act.
2.5 Application A2005/014 was withdrawn as a minor variance was not required for the
proposed construction of a new barn.
2.6 Staff has reviewed the Committee's decisions and is satisfied that the applications that
received approval are in conformity with the Official Plan policies, consistent with the
intent of the Zoning By-law and are minor in nature and desirable. Council's
concurrence with the Committee of Adjustment's decision is required in order to afford
Staff's official status before the Ontario Municipal Board in the event of an appeal of any
decision of the Committee of Adjustment

BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
Dr. A. Ross Tilley was born in Bowmanville, Ontario, the son of a local general
practitioner. He trained in surgery - Toronto, New York, Edinburgh and also with
Steinberg, the great Vienna pathologist. In 1935 he opened a private practice in
Toronto at the Toronto Western-Wellesley Hospital. He became interested in
plastic surgery which was a young specialty then, with only three qualified plastic
surgeons in Canada.
Dr. Tilley was a member of the Canadian Army Medical Corps Militia and went on
active service immediately on the outbreak of the war, transferring to the new
RCAF Medical Branch shortly after its formation. He was posted at RCAF
Headquarters in the United Kingdom in 1941 as principal medical officer.
In 1942 Dr. Tilley was transferred to the Queen Victoria Hospital in East
Grinstead in Sussex which was the centre for the treatment of burned
Commonwealth airmen. As the number of Canadian casualties increased, it
became necessary to build a purely Canadian wing of the hospital. Dr. Tilley was
the leader in planning this wing which was built by the Royal Canadian
Engineers. He and his colleagues treated hundreds of airmen, mostly
Canadians, during the war and for a period afterward.
His work along with that of other surgeons at East Grinstead on wartime burn
casualties was monumental not only from the point of view of individual patient
treatment but also from the principles of treatment they developed at that time.
The burned airmen, who were patients at East Grinstead, formed a group which
with sardonic humour, they called The Guinea Pig Club. A list of the Club -
Canadian Wing is attached to this report. The Club has flourished and remains
active in United Kingdom and Canada. Dr. Tilley until his death was the
President of the Club.

1.0 BACKGROUND
The Clarington Museum Transitional Board and the Clarington Museum and
Archives Board expressed interest in the Kirby United Church for relocation on
the grounds of the Kirby Schoolhouse SS No. 14, Cathcart Blacksmith Shop and
the Volunteer Building.
The Kirby United Church was built in 1880 by Messrs. Knott of Orono and the
building committee consisted of Jonathon Tyerman, William Thornton and John
Rickaby. It opened on November 21st, 1880.
In 1996 the building was designated as historical significance for the original
brick facade and fieldstone foundation, decorative quoins and hood surrounds,
lancet windows with panes of original coloured glass, tin ceiling, tin ceiling vent in
sanctuary and pine floors, etc.
2.0 KIRBY UNITED CHURCH - ACQUISITION
As Council is aware, the Clarington Museums and Archives Board expressed its
interest to the Kirby United Church Trustees and the Council of the Municipality
of Clarington in the purchase of the Church building and its chattels based on
certain terms and conditions.
The Trustee of the Kirby United Church through Mr. Brian Colville has indicated
their willingness to transfer the building and chattels. Attachment #1.
Municipal staff have reviewed all of the information required and now are bringing
forth this report to assist the Council in evaluating the acquisition and relocation
of this historical building.
3.0 PROPERTY INSPECTION REPORT
A structural integrity analysis of the existing building was undertaken by Totten
Sims & Hubicki, Whitby Ontario. The assessment of the building was completed
to identify the condition of the facility and long term capital expenditures needed
to maintain the building. Based on TSH's investigation, it is concluded that the
existing structure is in good condition especially considering its age. There is no
evidence of any significant structural distress or deterioration.

3.0 PROPERTY INSPECTION REPORT cont'd
The building is considered sound and could be relocated once additional bracing
is installed on the masonry end walls of the building.
With regards to building upgrades, window refurbishment and exterior / interior
finishes will have to be considered over the next five years as part of the Capital
Budget Program for the building.
4.0 RELOCATION AND RESTORATION COSTS
One of the delays in finalizing a budget for the relocation of the Church has been
the result of the Ministry of Transportation Ontario in reviewing the travel route to
relocate the facility. There are three options to relocate the building:
1. Transport across and along Highway 35/115 to new site.
2. Transport over the Highway along the bridge and Regional Road 9.
3. Transport across Highway 35/115 at the on and off ramps for Regional
Rd 9.
A review of the bridge crossing Option Two with the number of high voltage,
service connections and landscape obstructions is not recommended due to
cost, complexity, impact on the surrounding landscape and possible need to
reinforce the existing bridge structure. Option Three resulted in similar concerns
as Option Two.
Option One of moving the Church across and along the Highway will not involve
any hydro service modifications or removal of any trees.
Consultants with MTO Corridor Management offices identified several issues with
respect to utilizing Option One:
1. Side ditches would need to be filled in with temporary culverts to
maintain drainage
2. Removal of the center median is possible but will need temporary safety
controls before and after the move.

3. Provisions of detours are needed in case of delays caused by problems
that might arise.
4. Police escorts and attendance would be required.
5. The move would likely take place at night.
Currently MTO's position is that this route for relocation is not acceptable due to
serious safety and operational concerns, as per their correspondence dated
January 19, 2005.
For the purpose of preparing the budget, the following tasks and preliminary
costs based on Option One are provided for Council's consideration. Further
detailed studies must be completed should the plan for relocating the facility
proceed.
Reinforcement of existing structure
New foundation and sidewalks
Site grading at proposed site
Site work for building move

5.0 OPERATIONAL AND CAPITAL COSTS
The Clarington Museum Board and Archives will be making a presentation at the
time of this report regarding the impact that this acquisition will have on their staff
and their budget. The Administrator has met with the Director of Finance to
review the proposed operating budget and had general discussion pertaining to
the financial plan for the relocation and commissioning.
6.0 CONCLUSION
If Council approves the acquisition of the Kirby United Church in principle, staff
will have to finalize the actual relocation option with the respective authorities and
prepare any adjustments to the budget presented in this report. Once this is
done, staff will work with the Clarington Museum and Archives Board to develop
a critical path as it relates to the financial plan presented by the Board.

1.0 BACKGROUND
Since the inception of the tiered response agreement between the Province, the Region of Durham
and the City of Os haw a, introduced as part of the 911 program in the early 1990's, medical
responses by Oshawa Fire Services have increased considerably. Statistics for 2004 confirm that
medical responses account for more than 50% of Oshawa Fire Services total responses, as shown
in the following table:
Fire Services Emergency Responses
Year Total Number oCCalls Medical Calls (%)
2000 6,519 2,877 (44%)
2001 7,308 3,554 (49%)
2002 7,445 3,619 (49%)
2003 8,231 4,293 (52%)
2004 8,249 4,319 (52%)
Council was previously provided with Report OS-03-297 dated July 23, 2003 (Attachment No. I)
with respect to Fire Services emergency medical responses. The report provided Council with an
explanation of the increase in emergency medical responses at that time, as well as
recommendations for facilitating service delivery improvements. Staff have since followed
through on Council's recommendations.
The purpose of this report is to outline outstanding concerns regarding the three-tiered response to
emergency medical calls and to recommend to Council proposed changes to the current EMS
model to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of emergency medical services.
2.0 INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES
Fire Services has received feedback on concerns related to the three-tiered response from the
following:
· Durham Region Fire Chiefs;
· Durham Emergency Medical Service;
· Durham Regional Police/911 Centre;
· Ministry of Health and Long Term Care;
. Region of Durham;

Report to the Operational

Item: OS-oS-37-CM
Meeting Date: March 14, 2005
· Lakeridge Health Base Hospital; and
· Oshawa Central Ambulance Communications Centre (CACC) presently managed by the
Ministry of Health and Long Term Care.
3.0 ANALYSIS
3.1 Current EMS Model
Emergency medical services are delivered via a three-tier response model involving the Province,
the Region and local municipal Fire.$el"\'ices. The Province is responsible for the.CACC, which
currently controls communications to Durham Region EMS and municipal Fire Services. The
CACC determines the severity of the calls and dispatches accordingly.
The Region operates the EMS through the provision of land ambulances with base funding from
the Province. The Province is responsible for setting guidelines and protocols regarding response
times and level of service that the Region must follow. The Ministry of Health and Long Term
Care currently has no standard with respect to response times but the best practice is to target
1996 EMS performance levels which were on average a 9 to 10 minute response time. The Region
meets a 7 minute 55 second response time for 90% of its calls in the City of Oshawa.
Fire Services at the municipal level are the second level of response. Fire Services currently
receives calls from the CACC, although because the Province's system is not automated, calls to
the Region and Fire Services are not delivered simultaneously. Fire Services response times are
as follows:
· 49.5% of calls are responded to within 4 minutes;
. 27.3% under 5 minutes;
. 13.1 % under 6 minutes; and
. 10.2% over 6 minutes.
Call response by Oshawa Fire Services is under 6 minutes 90% of the time compared with the
EMS time of 7 minute 55 seconds. Although EMS response times have improved, Fire Services
is still first on the scene in many cases, although it is the second level of response. In all cases,
EMS is dispatched before Fire Services to tiered response calls. Fire Services response times do
not "stop the clock" upon their arrival and are not included in the provincially targeted timelines.
(The term "stopping-the-clock" is a measure of the time necessary for a primary care provider to
arrive on scene with appropriate equipment to provide emergency patient care.)
3.2 Evaluation of Current Model
3.2.1 Mandate of Regional EMS
Regional EMS is the principle service provider of medical emergency services. Some efficiencies
were gained when the service was downloaded to the Region in lieu of a mix of provincial and
private ambulance services. With the Regional EMS system, there is an ability to provide better
coverage throughout the Region by moving ambulance units around the Region and strategically
46
Report to the Operational
Services Committee (Continued)
-3-
Item: OS-05-37-CM
Meeting Date: March 14, 2005
locating ambulance stations. As weU, there is consistency in the training of staff and purchasing of
equipment. However, it is also recognized that the downloading of the service was incomplete
with the CACC remaining at the Province. Regional EMS is the agency that the public holds
accountable for the service yet Regional EMS is not accountable for aU facets of service delivery.
3.2.2 Role of Fire Services
Fire Services have traditionally responded to EMS caUs and generaUy arrives first on the scene in
many cases. As such, Fire Services provides a significant role in the provision of emergency
medical services. Both the Region and the public rely on Fire Services for quick response and to
maintain high life save rates. It must. be recognized, however, that fire prevention; education and
suppression are Fire Services principle mandate.
In order to meet National Fire Protection Association (NFP A) standards, Fire Services must
deploy a minimum number of staff. There is capacity within this system to allow Fire Services to
respond to other caUs such as medical incidents while still meeting NFP A standards. This is
consistent throughout most fire departments and during multiple event instances mutual aid
support is provided by neighbouring departments, if necessary. Although rare, if resources are
limited, fire calls take priority and the CACC is notified that Fire is unable to respond.
If the current model of shared responsibility for emergency medical service is to continue, there is
a need to address the reimbursement of costs for Fire Services to respond to medical emergencies.
3.2.3 Model Options
Several models can and should be considered. The question is which is the most efficient model
for EMS delivery. The options are:
1. Status quo;
2. Status quo with cost reimbursement to municipal Fire Services;
3. Self-sustaining Regional EMS; and
4. Transfer of EMS to lower tier for integration with Fire Services.
Each option is discussed below.
Status Ouo
inefficiencies are present in the status quo model. It is inadequately funded by the Province, target
performance levels have not been updated and, because provincial standards do not recognize Fire
Services responses, "stopping-the-c1ock" response times are not optimum. As explained above,
current EMS dispatch functions are the responsibility of the Province. Fire Services receive calls
from the CACC, although because the Province's system is not automated, caUs to the Region and
Fire Services are not delivered simultaneously. In addition, the involvement of the Province in the
CACC means the dispatch function is through a third party. On many occasions, messages to
EMS and Fire are not consistent with respect to important information regarding the patient or
47
Report to the Operational
Services Committee (Continued)

Item: OS-05-37-CM
Meeting Date: March 14, 2005
potential hazards upon arrival. Also, there have been significant delays in notification noted from
time to time between EMS and Fire, which increases response times.
The accountability for the dispatch service could be improved through a direct reporting
relationship to the Region EMS. Durham Region EMS has expressed interest in taking over
responsibility of the Durham area CACC. The Ministry of Health and Long Term Care has
confirmed that a five-year pilot project is underway for the delivery of dispatch services in
Niagara Region where the Regional EMS was the successful bidder. The Province has put a
moratorium on further pilot projects until the pilot initiative is completed and results reviewed.
Downloading the CACC responsibilities with supporting fmancial resources would assist with
communication issues currently facing Regional EMS and Fire Services. In the ni.'eantime, the
CACC representatives have agreed to cOritinue to review issues brought forward to them in an
effort to improve current communications. .
The Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs, the Ontario Fire Marshal's Office and Emergency Health
Services have also struck a committee to develop a Project Management Action Plan with respect
to the delivery of emergency medical services. The intent of the project is to reduce and
harmonize the number of protocols for tiered response within the communities of Ontario for
EMS providers. The committee anticipates a revision to the 1997 Tiered Response Guideline by
the spring of 2005. This will include clearly defined response guidelines for the CACC. It is
expected that this initiative will minimize delayed response notification and provide better
updates for Fire Services.
On February 25,2005, the Large Urban Mayors' Caucus of Ontario recognized that EMS service
is under-resourced and passed a resolution calling for the Province to be engaged as an active
partner in seeking a solution to the ambulance funding formula.
Ifthe status quo is maintained, the Province needs to assess the funding provided for Regional
EMS (including the cost for municipal Fire Services support), update response times and ensure
efficiencies are achieved in the current delivery model.
Status Ouo with Cost Reimbursement to Municipal Fire Services
Overall financial implications involved with the delivery of medical responses are substantial. Fire
Services is not being given financial support for providing its vital emergency response service.
As a result, funding for medical response by Fire Services is a major concern.
As noted above, the Province currently provides partial funding to the Region for the provision of
emergency medical services. The remainder of the cost, other than a fee collected for ambulance
transport from users, is currently the responsibility of the Region, offset by lower-tier
municipalities absorbing their costs. Currently, there is no cost reimbursement for emergency
medical services provided by local municipalities although EMS calls represent more than 50% of
total Fire Services responses. Without the response by Fire Services to emergency calls, EMS
could not maintain the response times currently being provided or provide the same level of
patient care without a significant expansion of their staffing and equipment inventory.

Report to the Operational
Services Committee (Continued)

item: OS'{)5-37-CM
Meeting Date: March 14,2005
A proposed cost recovery would see the Region reimburse the lower-tier municipalities for
emergency medical services. Transferring the cost of municipal emergency medical Fire support
services to the Region is appropriate given the Region has primary responsibility for the provision
of the service. The impact on the Oshawa taxpayer would remain the same given the tax impact
of the service would be transferred from the City to the Region, thereby reducing the City's budget
requirement. The level of service including response protocols, training by Lakeridge Base
Hospital and equipment provided by municipal fire departments are consistent throughout the
Region. The northern municipalities have modified agreements due to the fact they do not have
full-time staff. Centralizing and coordinating resources through one agency would therefore
provide greater continuity and administrative cost savings.
Currently all consumable medical equipment such as oxygen, protective apparel and first aid
supplies is provided by Durham EMS to the local municipal fire departments. Items such as
defibrillators and ongoing training and certification are currently paid for by Fire Services. New
defibrillators have just been purchased by Oshawa Fire Services for all vehicles at a total cost of
580,000. Current medical training costs for Oshawa Fire Services staff are approximately
532,000 per year. It is difficult to specifically identify vehicle costs associated with medical
responses. A fee per call could be negotiated to cover vehicle maintenance and other costs
associated with the emergency response.
It should be noted that the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs is working with the Ontario Fire
Marshal's Office to lobby the provincial government for improvements to the EMS system
including the recognition of Fire Services as a competent, qualified responder. Funding concerns
will also be addressed at that time. The City, along with other municipalities, should provide
support to the Region when lobbying the Province either directly or through the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario for increased funding for service providers.
Self-Sustaining Regional EMS Service
This model, although desirable from an accountability perspective, is costly given it would be
necessary for the Regional EMS to increase staff, resources and equipment to meet the required
response times without the assistance of Fire Services. This would further burden the taxpayer.
This model would also require the Province to pay its full share of the cost-shared program.
Transfer of EMS to Lower Tier for Integration with Fire Services
This model reflects the fact that Fire Services are first on the scene on many occasions. It is also
efficient and cost effective for ambulance and fire services to be located together. Durham Region
Fire Chiefs have confirmed that when new fire stations were planned and constructed over the
past number of years, Regional EMS has been provided with an offer of shared use of space. For
example, a letter was sent June 15, 2004 to Durham EMS offering space in the proposed new fire
station in north Oshawa. The Region, through the EMS, has confirmed that it is committed to
shared resources, wherever possible, and is interested in the ability to have ambulances stationed
in Fire Halls. Ambulance station locations are based on historical data relating to both response
times, as well as incident occurrence locations. If fire stations are located in the vicinity of the

Region's target areas they will negotiate the sharing of space. To date, no sharing of space has
occurred or is planned.
The Report of the Task Force on the Future of the Greater Toronto Area (Golden Report)
specifically spoke to ambulance service, as follows:
"The Province should review the appropriate scale for coordination of ambulance services, and the
possible amalgamation of ambulance and fire services, with a view to achieving greater
efficiencies and improving response times..."
4.0 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
There are no financial implications as a result of this report.
5.0 CONCLUSION
Oshawa residents, as well as other municipalities within Durham Region, currently enjoy a very
professional, well-trained level of emergency medical care provided in a very timely manner.
Statistics have shown that this high level of response is indicative of the success rates for a variety
of treatments such as ventricular fibrillation. Oshawa and Durham Region's life save rate for
ventricular fibrillation is amongst the highest in the country. Without Fire Services, this same
success rate could only be realized with the substantial expansion of the Regional EMS system.
This would include a large increase in staff, as well as capital items such as vehicles, facilities and
specialized equipment.
The present tiered delivery of emergency medical response by municipal Fire Services and the
Regional EMS is very successful in terms of overall customer service. Patients receive a much
better level of service both from a time of response perspective as well as professional care
provided by the multi-agency approach. In a serious situation such as a heart attack, fire crews
provide CPR and ventilation, which allows E~IS crews to provide specialized treatment such as
intravenous, medication and advanced defibrillation.
Fire Services currently plays an important role in emergency medical responses, however, it is
recommended that the total cost of the service be borne by the Region with increased funding
support from the Province, and that Durham Region EMS should assume responsibility for the
CACC.
6.0 RECOMMENDED ACTION
That the Operational Services Committee recommend to City Council:
1. That the Region of Durham be:
a) requested to reimburse all costs associated with the provision of EMS service provided
by municipal Fire Services, as per Option 2 outlined in Section 3.2.3 of Report OS-05-
37-CM dated March 8, 2005; and

be forwarded to the Minister of Health and Long Term Care for increased funding for the
Regional provision of Emergency Medical Services, Regional reimbursement of costs for
municipal FireServices EMS support, and the transfer of the Central Ambulance
Communications Centre to Regional EMS.
3. That the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care arrange a meeting with the Ministry of

time standards for Regional EMS.
5. That the City of Oshawa request the support of other Durham Region municipalities to have
Durham Region in its development plans for new emergency medical service facilities ensure
comprehensive location analyses are completed which include local fire station locations as
possible locations for ambulance facilities.

1.0 BACKGROUND
Through tlie City's participation in the!)11 tiered response emergency system, the number of
emergency medical responses by Oshawa Fire Services has increased significantly over the past few
years. As requested by Council, this report outlines the reasons for the increase in medical responses
as a result of present emergency response practices and procedures and provides recommendations to
improve the present system.
2.0 INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES
Durham Region Fire Chiefs
Durham Emergency Medical Service
Oshawa Fire Services Tiered Response Guideline
3.0 ANALYSIS
The emergency 911 system was introduced in Durham Region in the early 1990s. A basic
requirement of initiating the 911 system was for the emergency service providers (police, fire and
ambulance) to agree to a system of "tiered response" where all emergency services would respond
to specific emergencies to ensure the response time to the incident was as quick as possible.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s Oshawa constructed new fire stations that were strategically
located to provide an average response time of four minutes within the urban area. Because of the
location of the City's fire stations, Fire Services is usually the first service on the scene of most
emergency medical calls.
Over the years, this tiered response agreement has evolved so that Durham Regional Police, having
minimal emergency medical equipment in vehicles, does not respond to emergency medical calls.
Fire Services only responds to calls that are detennined to be "Code 4". (The rate of Code 4 call-
outs has increased significantly.) These calls involve:
1. Absence ofbreathingtdifficulty breathing;
2. Unconsciousness;
3. Severe uncontrolled bleeding;
4. Motor vehicle accident with ambulance responc.ling;
5. Real or apprehended heart attack where 1 or 2 above has not occurred.

Meeting Date: September 2, 2003
At the time of the Fire Marshal's Review of Os haw a Fire Services in 1996, it was noted that
Oshawa Fire Services responded to over 6,000 calls with over half being for emergency medical
incidents. While the number and severity of fire caUs has decreased significantly because of
effective fire prevention, education and early warning by-laws, the total number of caUs has still
increased substantially from 2,710 in the early I 990s, when the 911 system was introduced, to 7,445
in 2002. Although the City has grown over the years, the primary cause for the number of calls is
the dramatic increase in emergency medical caUs which have escalated from 297 in 1993 to 3,619 in
2002 - a 1,200% increase.

In 1999 when Durham Region assumed responsibility for ambulance services, it inherited a system
that was previously operated by the Province and private operators. The Province tended to work
from, or close to, hospitals. The private operators sometimes worked out of funeral homes. Both
the Province and the private operators obviously had an interest in keeping costs as low as possible,
therefore, the addition of more ambulances and staff did not increase in response to demand factors
such as population growth and an aging population demographic. Because ambulance service was
not adequate, local fire departments began to fiU the service gap and even now, regardless of the
major investment into the ambulance service by Durham Region, the ambulance service cannot
provide the proper response levels without depending on local fire services to do so.
Until Durham Region acquired the ambulance service, there had been no plan to significantly
increase the number of ambulances or to work with the other emergency medical providers, such as
local fire departments, to ensure that ambulances were located in facilities that provide the best
response times. The Region's Emergency Medical Service has contacted area fire departments
about the possibility of shared facilities, but there is sriU no coordinated planning for shared
facilities to minimize response times by aU emergency medical service stakeholders. As the Region
53
Report to Operational Services Committee
(Continued)
-3-
Item No: OS-03.297
Meeting Date: September 2,2003
approves funding to construct new ambulance facilities, it is important that they consider all service
delivery opportunities to ensure a comprehensive long-range strategic approach.
Until the Durham Region ambulance service strategically locates its facilities in areas to meet
provincial response time requirements, there will be a duplication of service between municipal fire
services and Durham Region Ambulance Service. Presently the Region's emergency medical
system cannot meet the Province's response time requirements without depending on municipal fire
services. Durham Region and area municipalities need to develop Iring-range plans to ensure the
emergency service is managed in a more effective and cost-efficient manner.
Fonner Oshawa Fire Chief, Milt"Wilsqn brought the Durham Region emergency medical service
stakeholders together from across Durham Region to discuss the current tiered response situation.
A number of issues were identified that need to be addressed if changes in the tiered response
system are to take place. The following summarizes the issues identified.
Multiple Jurisdictions
· The Province through the Ministry of Health is setting standards and policies for emergency pre-
hospital care, ambulance response times and communication procedures. However, the
Province is not assisting with the financial resources required to meet their imposed standards.
· Durham Region is the jurisdiction responsible for managing and providing emergency medical
services and is taking steps to meet provincial standards; however, is doing so unilaterally
without involving other emergency medical service stakeholders.
· Local municipalities are providing emergency medical services through their individual fire
departments. In most cases, emergency medical calls are more than 50% of the fire service
emergency responses which significantly impacts municipal budgets for staffmg, training and
equipment.
· In addition to public emergency medical services, there are also a number of private providers
who focus on profitable areas of emergency medical service such as non-emergent patient
transfers.
· There is no discussion taking place involving the Province, the Region and local municipalities
to improve service delivery.
· Fire trucks are very expensive and inappropriate alternatives to ambulances.
Whv Is It Necessarv Tbat Fire Services Emere:encv Medical Service Responses Continue?
· Ambulances are spending more time in hospitals processing patients.
· Ambulances are re-routed to other municipalities and are therefore away from their base
municipalities.
· Ambulance training standards are higher now than years ago so ambulance paramedics take
more time stabilizing patients at the scene of an incident.
· Ambulance facilities are not strategically located in accordance with response times.
· Population growth continues to increase response requirements.
54

Item No: 05-03-297
Meeting Date: September 2, 2003
. Population demographics are changing and are increasing responses.
. Vehicle traffic continues to increase therefore vehicle accidents continue to increase. A future
Highway 407 will increase vehicle traffic and population growth tremendously.
The Province Sets Dispatch Protocols
. Regardless of Durham Region's responsibility to provide emergency medical service, the
. Province maintains the ambulance dispatch and communications system. The current provincial
radio system does not allow contact between local emergency service stakeholders (police, fire,
ambulance) which leads to increased routing of calls, delays and duplicatiQn of service.
. The Province sets response standards but fire service intervention does not "stop the clock" of
meeting the response standard. This leads to the requirement for more ambulances. to meet
response times when in many cases a fire service vehicle with defibrillation equipment was at
the scene within the specified time.
Facilities
. Ambulance facilities are not strategically located with regard to response times. There are
provincial response time standards that must be met so Durham Region is building new
facilities, but doing so without involving other emergency medical service providers.
. Additional ambulances are purchased in an attempt to meet response standards with no regard to
fire service intervention from strategically located stations with trained fire personnel.
. There is no long-range plan to strategically locate ambulance stations with future fire stations.
. Municipal fire service facilities are usually located to provide a quicker response time than
ambulance facilities.
Train!n!!
. Until recently there has been no attempt by the Province to include firefighter emergency
medical service training into the Ministry of Health emergency health care training system.
. At the street level, fire services is an intricate part of the pre-hospital care process but it is not
recognized by the Province, which leads to the requirement for more ambulances to meet
provincial response time standards.
Obviously, from the issues identified by local emergency medical service stakeholders, if changes
are going to take place in the tiered response system, a significant commitment by all levels of
government is necessary, and the provincial government in particular.
There is no doubt that the introduction of fire services into the emergency medical service system
has been beneficial to the citizens of our community. There are statistics that clearly show that many
lives have been saved and injuries minimized because of fire services' quick response times and the
use of defibrillation units. The current "save rate" for Oshawa patients suffering from ventricular
fibrillation is 20.2% compared to Durham Region at 6.7% and a provincial average of 4-5%.
Taxpayers can depend on a highly trained fire service that can intervene between fire and rescue
55
Report to Operational Services Committee

Item No: OS-03-297
Meeting Date: September 2,2003
duties to provide emergency medical service. This is a valuable benefit to all citizens; however, if
nothing is done to change the present system, the cost of providing emergency medical service will
continue to increase for the taxpayers of Os haw a and indeed all Durham Region taxpayers.
Present emergency medical response procedures have created a system of expensive duplication.
The ambulance system cannot respond quick enough to meet response time standards, therefore
local fire services are depended on. However, the present level of fire personnel training is not
recognized by the Province as sufficient enough to not require ambulance paramedics to still
respond and to transport individuals. The tiered response system needs to fundamentally change to
use either the ambulance response infrastructure or the fire response infrastructure efficiently and
properly. The Province needs to "decide whether or not municipal fire services' are integral or not to
emergency medical responses. The Province also has to understand that establishing c:mergency
medical response standards requires a commitment to efficiency rather than allowing this costly
"hybrid" system involving ambulance and fire personnel to continue and no doubt expand further.
If there are to be changes in the tiered response process to provide a more cost-effective system,
then the changes have to begin at the provincial level. The Province has to initiate changes in its
standards and policies. It is not possible for Durham Region and local municipalities to discuss
tiered response efficiencies and procedural changes if the Province does not participate and agree to
change its dispatch procedures, response time requirements, and begin to recognize the involvement
of fire personnel in the emergency medical system. The present tiered response situation is not just
a Durham Region situation; the situation is the same throughout the Province.
Tiered response is part of the pre-hospital care process and in many cases minimizes the amount of
time a victim spends in hospital and enhances their chances of leaving the hospital with the
expectation ofa good quality oflife. Ifmunicipal fire services are to be included as part of this pre-
hospital care process. they must be recognized as part of the overall emergency health system by the
Ministry of Health. The provincial recognition of fully trained municipal fire personnel would
reduce duplication of fire and ambulance response to emergency situations. When fire service
training is recognized by the Province then fire service intervention in the response process could
stop the clock on response time thereby reducing the need for additional ambulance resources.
The potential outcome in Durham Region of provincial recognition of fire personnel training could
be ambulance service provided by municipal fire services in appropriate response vehicles rather
than "fire trucks". Conversely, if the Province does not want to recognize medically trained fire
personnel then local municipalities, including Oshawa, should determine whether or not they will
continue to respond to emergency medical responses at all. Ifmunicipalities decided to not respond
to emergency medical calls, Durham Region would be required to significantly increase its
emergency medical service investment because the Region could no longer expect the support and
investment made by municipalities in medical training and equipment.
To accomplish changes to present provincial standards, the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs and
the Ontario Fire Marshal are now meeting with senior staff at the Ministry of Health to analyze fire
service emergency medical service standards to determine how they compare to the Ministry of
Health basic life support training. Once this process is completed and accepted by the Province,
Sf)
Report to Operational SelVlces Committee
(Continued)

Item No; 05-03-297
Meeting Date: September 2, 2003
there should be no reason that the intervention of fire personnel with defibrillation capabilities does
not "stop the clock" to meet Ministry of Health response standards.
The Province has to also agree to cooperate with local 911 communication providers to develop
protocols that use all communication systems efficiently. Oshawa, together with the other southern
Durham Region fire departments are currently working with Durham Emergency Medical Service
and Durham Regional Police to develop a radio interoperability system. Although this is principally
designed for senior level communication at this time, it may offer the ability for expansion to suit
the needs outlined within this report.
There is one area of immediate cooperation possible between Durham Region and local
municipalities that would lead to efficiencies. A coordinated long-range plan for placement of
ambulance facilities and fire stations in the context of the geographical area of Durham Region is
necessary. A practical strategy in responding to medical emergencies in the future is to plan and
build facilities that accommodate ambulance, fire and possibly police. The City's current fire station
location study is examining medical response options as part of the overall study; however, ifall
options are to be considered participation by all stakeholders is necessary.
4.0 CONCLUSION
The City of Oshawa, alone, is not going to change the present tiered response system. Regardless of
the present duplication of service between Durham Region emergency medical services and local fire
services, the present system does work although at operating costs that are greater than they should
be. The present emergency medical service stakeholders (province, police, fire and ambulance) are
all entrenched in the present system and there is tremendous reluctance to change the system.
Therefore, ifOshawa is committed to changing the present system, the City needs to understand it
will be a long-term process requiring the cooperation of the Province, other municipalities and
emergency medical service stakeholders.
The following recommendations outline a course of action the City could follow to acquire support
for change to the tiered response system and to have the issue of tiered response become not only an
Oshawa priority but a priority for other stakeholders including the Province of Ontario, other local
municipalities including Durham Region itself, as well as the Association of Ontario Municipalities
(A..\10).
5.0 FI~ANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The opportunity of significant savings exist if we could initiate a better system as referenced within
this report.

1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 Since May 26, 2003 the Community Services Department has been operating the
coffee kiosk located in the Clarington Public Library, Main Branch. Initially the
kiosk was to operate on a six-month trial basis. At the January 12, 2004 General
Purpose and Administration Meeting, staff was directed to continue the operation
of the kiosk.
1.2 Subsequently staff received a letter from The Clarington Project indicating an
interest in assuming the operation of the coffee kiosk and direction was received
to initiate discussions between staff, The Clarington Project and the library.
1.3 The Clarington Project prepared a Business Plan (Attachment #1) and presented
it to staff and the Library Board for consideration.
1.4 At the Library Board meeting on April 2ih, The Clarington Project made a
presentation of the business plan, which was endorsed in principle by the Library
Board (Attachment #2). Please note, subject to approval of this report, the
Clarington Public Library will undertake discussions with The Clarington Project
regarding leasing arrangements.
1.5 Any questions regarding the business plan should be directed to the
representatives of The Clarington Project. They will be advised of this report
and will be requested to be in attendance at the meeting.
2.0 FINANCIAL
2.1 In order to accommodate the relocation of the operation to the mezzanine area of
the library, certain capital upgrades are required. The Director of Operations has
provided an estimated cost for this work (Attachment #3). The budget covers the
plumbing and electrical upgrades to accommodate this initiative which is not
carried in The Clarington Project business plan. Flooring and Millwork will be
the responsibility of The Clarington Project subject to the approval of the Library
Board and the Municipality. Specific questions on the scope of work and
associated costs should be directed to the Director of Operations.
2.2 The Clarington Project will endeavor to raise additional funds to assist with the
capital costs of this relocation, above and beyond their commitment for millwork
and flooring and any funds realized will be repaid to the General Capital Reserve
Account which is recommended as the funding source for the capital work.

2.3 In the Business Plan, The Clarington Project identified certain pieces of
equipment that were used in the current operation ie. cash register, waste
receptacles etc. The Community Services Department is prepared to make this
equipment available, with the concurrence of Council.
3.0 COMMENTS
3.1 Throughout this process the staff with The Clarington Project has done extensive
work from the initial investigation of the feasibility of this operation to the
development of the detailed business plan and should be commended.
3.2 The proposed operation will continue to provide a service for the patrons and
staff of the library and the Municipal Administrative Centre, while at the same
time, provide The Clarington Project clients training and development
opportunities that will benefit the whole community.

Dear Joe,
This letter is to thank you for your audience at the meeting on January 25"'. The Clarington Project
believes in the value of the Library Cafe business initiative and continues to explore possibilities that
would make this endeavour a supcess. We appreciated your feedback last week about how we
should proceed. '
Due to the space constraints that exist with the current kiosk, and recognizing that this endeavour
would not be lucrative without leasehold improvements, the Clarington Project does not plan to pursue
operation of the existing Library coffee kiosk. We would like to explore the possibility of operating the
Library Cafe Training Enterprise from another location within the library, specifically the Mezzanine
Level. Following a meeting with the Library Board President, Allan Hewitt, and the Library Director,
Edith Hopkins, the Board gave their approval to investigate further opportunities in this area.
The original Library Cafe Business Plan, amendments to the plan, and our proposal for support is
attached. It is our objective to work with the Municipality, the Library and all contributing partners, in
our pursuit to operate an enterprise that would be advantageous to so many people. We hope that
you will continue to award us with your support and consideration where applicable.
Please do not hesitate to call Darlene Matthews at 623-6814 ex1. 35 or me at 579-3011 ext. 329 if you
have any questions or concerns.
Regards,

~...
The Library Cafe Training Enterprise is an initiative that will contribute to the training
development and employability of people with intellectual disabilities. It reflects a need
in the community, and offers a sustainable commerce opportunity and sense of
community belonging. It also contributes to the viability of the Clarington Project, a
project of Community Living OshawalClarington (CLOC).
The Library Cafe will offer employment training opportunities to people with intellectual
disabilities in the Clarington area. Successful applicants will be hired for a one year
contract, where they will be assisted to operate a viable community based operation as
they develop skills relevant for future job opportunities.
It will offer a variety of quality beverages and food items at competitive prices to library
patrons, employees of the Municipality of Clarington and people who are doing business
with the Municipality. Patrons will be ensured a warm, welcoming and accessible
atmosphere that has comfortable seating to enjoy their selection and access the library.
Patrons can FEEL GOOD about supporting a unique and exciting enterprise that offers
work experience to people: with intellectual disabilities.
A prime location for the cafe is the Municipal Library in the downtown core. It is
accessible and the library's membership exceeds 34,000 people. It aiso connects to the
Municipality of Clarington where there is over 650 staff. The market will also be
maintained by implementing the use of a mobile unit to sell product during library off
hours. The Clarington Project is currently in deliberation with the Municipality and the
Library Board to pursue operation of the existing Ubrary coffee kiosk.
Leasehold improvements that meet Public Health Regulations would be essential to
ensure the operation is viable. Preliminary costs would need to cover leasehold
improvements and items such as fumiture, an industrial dishwasher, triple sinks,
uniforms, a sign, products, a cash register, and salaries. Continuing operating costs are
not excessive, however, a sustainable operation would need to cover rent, wages, .
insurance, utilities, advertising, interest, products and supplies.
Modifying the hours of operation to ensure consumers can purchase products at desired
times will be essential to the success of the operation. Forming strong community links
with the Rotary, the BIA, the library, the Municipality, the Ontario Disability Support
Program (ODSP) and Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC) would also
strengthen the operating advantage.
As the Library Cafe Training Enterprise offers wqrk experience to people with intellectual
disabilities, application to receive funding support for wages, rent and for initial startup
costs, such as leasehold improvements, appliances and products, is being pursued. It is
anticipated that the Library Cafe will gain the support of HRDC and ODSP. With
continuous financial support for wages and rent through supporting agencies, the
Clarington Project anticipates the Library Cafe will be sustainable to buy product and
maintain services within the third year of operation.

The Library Cafe Training Enterprise capital requirements will be completed in three
phases over a three year period. Initiai capital costs for equipment and leasehold
improvements are estimated at $5000.
A strong foundation and partnership with the Municipality and the Library Soard would
be an essential component of success. A signed agreement outlining the roles and
responsibilities of each party will be completed.

Business Summary and History
The Library Cafe Training Enterprise is an initiative that will contribute to the training
development and employability of people with intellectual disabilities. It reflects a need
in the community, and offers a sustainable commerce opportunity and sense of
community belonging. It also contributes to the viability of the Clarington Project, a
project of Community Living OshawalClarington (CLOC).
The Library Cafe will serve quality beverages and light snack items to library patrons,
employees of the Municipality of Clarington and people who are doing business with the
Municipality. It will offer a variety of quality hot and cold beverages such as coffee, tea,
and juice, along with food items such as bagels, muffins, soups, cookies, and desserts at
competitive prices. A mobile trolley unit filled with selected items will be made available
to municipal staff during the early moming hours and at appropriate breaks throughout
the day. Customers can expect a warm, welcoming and accessible atmosphere that has
comfortable seating to enjoy their selection.
Industry Overview
The Municipal Library in the downtown core is the perfect location to set up the
Clarington Project Library Cafe. Discussions are now taking place between the
Clarington Project. the Municipality and the Library Board to secure operation of the
The Clanngton Project Library Cafe Busmess Plan
.5-

coffee kiosk now operating out of the Municipal Library, The library is accessible and the
library's membership exceeds 34,000 people. The Municipal Library connects to the
Municipality of Clarington where there are over 650 employees. Easy access to the
Library Cafe would also benefit those individuals who are doing business with the
Municipality. With over 40,000 people between the ages of 18 and 55 living in
Clarington I, the community continues to grow and opportunities to meet demand
increases. In order for our initiative to be competitive, we will offer the following:
. products that taste good.
. variety and freshness.
. sanitary and well kept premises.
. a convenient and accessible location.
. a relaxing/welcoming atmosphere that offers comfort without the rush.
. knowledge that by purchasing an item they want, customers are giving back to their
community at the same time. Customers can FEEL GOOD about supporling a
unique and exciting enterprise that offers work experience to people with intellectual
disabilities.
· An opportunity to support growth, encourage independence and foster community.
Position in the Industry
The Library Cafe Training Enterprise reflects a need in our community. Bowmanville has
a growing population presenting great potential for a library cafe development.
Currently, one business in Bowmanville, Espresso Legato, serves an existing market in
which demand exceeds supply.
The Clarington Project is currently in deliberation with the Municipality to pursue
operation of the existing Library coffee kiosk. A favourable relationship has been
established with the Municipal Government over the years and their support is
paramount in this endeavor. The scope is to be a viable community enterprise that
trains and offers expertise to people with intellectual disabilities. People with an
intellectual disability, that are currently unemployed, will be hired for a one year paid
contract position. Following the one year contract, a referral will be made to a partnering
agency to assist people to obtain gainful, long term employment utilizing the skills
developed during the contract position.
The Library Cafe would provide patrons with an accessible, comfortable atmosphere that
offers Qualitv products at a competitive price. The two buildings, the Municipal Library
and the Municipality of Clarington, connect which helps to increase the volume of Library
Cafe customers to include library patrons, employees of the Municipality of Clarington
and people who are doing business with the Municipality. A relaxed, comfortable and
inviting atmosphere would ensure a successful enterprise and reflects a need in the
community. Forming strong community links with the Rotary, the BIA, the library, the
Municipality, the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) and Human Resources
Development Canada (HRDC) would also strengthen the operating advantage. Another
benefit of the Library Cafe is the opportunity to support training opportunities and
employment to people with intellectual disabilities.

Target Market
As the existing library coffee kiosk now stands, it does not meet Public Health
Regulations to offer any prepared food products on-site. This results in a very limited
selection of items and an existing market that is not being maintained.
With leasehold improvements that meet Public Health Regulations, the Clarington
Project Library Cafe plans to offer the 'right' product, at competitive prices. Product
variety will address the market demand and ensure increased revenue. Modifying the
hours of operation to ensure consumers can purchase products at desired times will be
essential to the success of the operation. The market will also be maintained by
implementing the use of a mobile unit to sell product during library off hours.
The Library Cafe will serve quality beverages and light snack items at competitive prices
to library patrons, parents accessing the library with their children, employees of the
Municipality of Clarington and the community sectors attending the Municipal Complex.
It will offer a variety of quality hot and cold beverages such as coffee, cappuccino,
espresso, tea, and juice, along with food items such as bagels, muffins, soups, cookies,
made to order sandwiches and desserts. Patrons will be ensured a warm, welcoming
and accessible atmosphere that has comfortable seating to enjoy their selection and
access the library.
The library's membership exceeds 34,000 people. The Municipal Library connects
directly to the Municipality of Clarington where there are approximately 658 employees,
many of who access the building on a regular basis for various reasons such as
conferences, council meetings, and business related issues. Easy access to the Library
Cafe would also benefit those individuals who are doing business with the Municipality.
With over 40,000 people between the ages of 18 and 55 living in Clarington2, the
community continues to grow and opportunities .to meet demand increases.
Services/Products
The Library cafe is a unique and exciting enterprise that offers work experience to
people with intellectual disabilities. People can feel good about buying a great tasting
product, knowing that they are supporting an enterprise designed to offer training and
work skills to people with disabilities. People will be hired for a one year contract, and
work directly with a trainer who will support and ensure quality service, product and
value to the customer.
Each staff will be trained in all aspects of the Library Cafe. Responsibilities would
include, but are not limited to, opening and closing the kiosk, brewing hot beverages,
serving beverages and food items, developing money skills to make correct change,
leaming to use the cash register, maintaining a sanitary work area, and preparing
products such as cookies, soups and sandwiches.

"
A convenient and accessible location with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere using
warm colour tones, with adequate lighting for reading further enhances the special
features of the Library Cafe. Comfortable seating to lounge or read the newspaper also
makes this location more enticing. In partnership with the Library, patrons can access
free reading material, computer access, customer service and many other library
benefits.
In addition to these important features, the Library Cafe will feature a variety of quality
products at competitive prices. Patrons can expect great tasting food and beverage
items at an affordable cost.
Not only will the customer feel good about using the Library Cafe, they will enjoy
flavourful tasting products that don't cost too much, an inviting atmosphere, an
accessible location with nearby, free parking, and the benefrts of the library.
Pricing Strategy
To be competitive with existing markets, products must be of equal or better quality than
. our competitors, the atmosphere inviting and the service efficient.
As the Library Cafe Training Enterprise offers work experience to people with intellectual
disabilities, application to receive funding support for wages, rent and for initial startup
costs, such as leasehold improvements, appliances and products, is being pursued. If
successful, the overhead for operating the Library Cafe would be reduced, providing an
avenue to offer quality products competitive with the existing markets.
The location is accessible providing access to all people in the community. The direct
competition is not accessible and only a few of the indirect competitors offer a location
that is easily accessible.
A portion of the target market consists of parents and children who access the library.
With this target market in mind, ensuring high quality products at a competitive price is
essential to the success of the Library Cafe.

The Clarington Project anticipates the Library Cafe will be sustainable to buy product
and maintain services within the third year of operation. As the Library Cafe Training
Enterprise offers opportunities to people with intellectual disabilities. it is anticipated that
this endeavour will continue to be supported financially towards wages and rent through
supporting agencies.

Sales/Distribution Plan
All products of the Library Cafe will be sold exclusively from the location established at
the library. To enhance the training opportunities, employees will purchase, stock and
prepare all products for on site sales, including the preparation of items like cookies,
muffins and soup.
All sales will be cash only, Using a cash register, staff will be required to record all sales
and returns. An inventory of product will be calculated at the end of each day to track
revenue. Marketing applications to increase revenue will be examined and utilized
throughout the year. Examples include coffee cards, senior discount days, coupons,
and one day only - 10% off all sales.
Customer service and satisfaction is essential to the success of any operation. If a
customer is unhappy with a product, they will be offered a refund or another selection
equal to the value of the unsatisfactory item.
Advertising and Promotions Plan
The Library Cafe plans to market the Training Enterprise in a fashion that promotes the
training and work experience of people with intellectual disabilities. Promotion will
include supporting your community by purchasing desired and great tasting products.
The Library Cafe will invite the press, guests and community partners for an exciting
grand opening. This celebration will offer a special thanks to our supporters and
promote who we are, what we do and the products we offer at the Library Cafe.
Minimal costs would be attached to the following promotional tools: the phone book,
community calendars, word of mouth, and community flyers. Specially designed Cafe
Brochures/Menu will be distributed in the community, at the cafe and with other library
literature to further advertise the positive image of the Library Cafe. A street sign
welcoming patrons to come into the Library Cafe will also be displayed in front of the
building.
As owner and operator of the Library Cafe, the Clarington Project will include this
Training Enterprise into our existing web site at www.ocact.ca. As this initiative will offer
training opportunities to people with intellectual disabilities, it is anticipated that the
Library Cafe will gain the support of HRDC and ODSP, who will advertise internally and
externally using their diverse avenues of advertisements.
Various advertising and marketing applications to increase revenue will also be
examined and used, as deemed appropriate, throughout the year.

Stage of Development
The Library Cafe is in the early stages of development. We have approached the
appropriate person at the Business Development Centre to determine if a cafe would be
deemed favourable in the Bowmanville area. Feedback was very positive regarding the
development and growth in the Bowmanville and Newcastle ar~as.
The Municipality of Clarington has been approached regarding the operation of the
existing library cafe through conversations and meetings with the mayor and various
municipal staff. In support of the Clarington Project taking over the operation of the
library cafe, the Council of the Municipality of Clarington has approved recommendation
that "Report CSD-10-04 be received, that the Community Services Department meet
with representatives from the Clarington Project to discuss the feasibility of this group
taking over the operation of the Library Main Branch Coffee kiosk, that staff continue to
operate the kiosk during these discussions, that the Community Services Department
report back to Council upon completion of these discussions, and that the Clarington
Public Library Board be advised of Council's direction". The Community Services
Department has scheduled a meeting with Edith Hopkins. Executive Director of the
Library.
Clarington Project is currently drafting a full proposal, including plans, projections and
costs to be forwarded to Council for consideration.
A proposal to the Rotary Club of Bowmanville requesting seed money for leasehold
improvements to bring the existing cafe up to Public Health Standards has been
submitted and granted up to $5,000. Without leasehold improvements to the space, the

products currently being sold could not generate enough revenue to sustain the Library
Cafe Training Enterprise. Additional funding sources and fundraising events to ensure
the success of this endeavour are being pursued.
Application to the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) Innovative Projects is in
the development stages. ODSP's Directive 105-02 Innovative Projects states their
"Purpose of Directive" to be "to provide a mechanism of the Employment Supports
System Manager to fund projects which demonstrate innovative approaches to
employment supports for people with disabilities'. It continues, "the prescribed
employment supports may be provided to a person described in subsection (2) in order
to remove barriers to the person's competitive employment and assist the person in
attaining his or her competitive employment goar. We believe the Library Cafe fits with
these requirements and may have opportunity to be supported through ODSP.
Application to Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC) will be pursued once an
agreement has been established between the municipal parties, the Clarington Project
and other community partners. HRDC is an agency that provides employment support
and connections between employers and potential staff.
Community Living OshawalClarington has employment supports through ODSP to
assists people with disabil;ties to gain meaningful employment through subsidy, on-site
training support and coaching. We will work in partnership with this department to
support this initiative.
Survey has been drafted to determine feasibility and user analysis.
To be operational, the following must occur:
· Signed agreement between the Municipality, the Library Board and Community
Living OshawalClarington / the Clarington Project, to own and operate the Library
Cafe
. Negotiate with Municipality for free utilities and rental space of the existing Library
kiosk
. Make leasehold improvements to existing space to meet Public Health Regulations
for food preparation
. Apply to ODSP, HRDC and CLOC Employment Supports, for employee connections
and financial wage subsidy and support
. Hire Food Services Manager, Trainer, and Trainees
Production Process
The basic requirements to operate the Library Cafe include the following:
. Library Cafe space - in negotiations with the "Municipality and the Library Board
. Office space - will share existing office space with Clarington Project Coordinators.
An inventory and revenue tracking sheet will be set up and maintained on the
existing equipment at this office until deemed necessary to purchase one.
. Seating - tables/chairs, loungers with side tables, stools
. Cash Register
. Triple Sinks

A strong foundation and partnership with the Municipality and the Library would be an
essential component of success. With passing years, the profile of the Municipality and
the library may change. Maintaining supportive relationships between these parties
would ensure a successful operation and reduce the risk for the Clarington Project. This
risk can be further minimized with a signed agreement outlining the roles and
responsibilities of each party.
Backing through the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) Innovative Projects
would further support this endeavour. The "Purpose of Directive" is "to provide a
mechanism of the Employment Supports System Manager to fund projects which
demonstrate innovative approaches to employment supports for people with disabilities".
It continues, "the prescribed employment supports may be provided to a person
described in subsection (2) in order to remove barriers to the person's competitive
employment and assist the person in attaining his or her competitive employment goal".
We believe the Library Cafe fits with these requirements and ongoing ODSP funding
would be imperative.
Backing through Human Resources Development Canada and CLOC Employment
Supports is also needed to ensure our success.

The Library Cafe unit would contribute to the training development and employability of
people with intellectual disabilities, reflects a need in the community, and offers a sense
of belonging and viability in our community.
Summary
The Clarington Project will maintain a full business plan, including a cost analysis that
will ensure the feasibility and sustainability of this endeavour.

Changes to the 4th paragraph of the "Executive Summary"
1.
A prime location for the cafe is the Municipal Library in the downtown core. It is
accessible and the library's membership exceeds 34,000 people. It also connects to the
Municipality of Clarington where there is over 650 staff. The market will also be
maintained by implementing the use of a mobile unit to sell product during library off
hours. The Clarington Project is currently in deliberation with the Municipality and the
Library Board regarding the Library coffee kiosk. It is our desire to relocate the Library
coffee kiosk to a new area in the Library, specifically the Mezzanine area, and secure
operation of that unit. Placing the Library Cafe Training Enterprise in this area would
add to the security and supervision of the Mezzanine area.

Position in the Industry
The Clarington Project is currently in deliberation with the Municipality and the Library
Board regarding the Library coffee kiosk. It is our desire to move the Library coffee kiosk
to a new area in the Library, specifically the Mezzanine area. A favourable relationship
has been established with the Municipal Government over the years and their support is
paramount in this endeavor. The scope is to be a viable community enterprise that
trains and offers expertise to people with intellectual disabilities. People with an
intellectual disability, that are currently unemployed, will be hired for a one year paid
contract position. Following the one year contract, a referral will be made to a partnering
agency to assist people to obtain gainful, long term employment utilizing the skills
developed during the contract position.

Target Market
The Mezzanine area is the perfect location from which to operate the Library Cafe. It
has the space needed to accommodate the leasehold improvements that meet Public
Health Regulations. With leasehold improvements the Clarington Project Library Cafe
plans to offer the 'right' product, at competitive prices. Product variety will address the
market demand and ensure increased revenue. Modifying the hours of operation to
ensure consumers can purchase products at desired times will be essential to the
success of the operation. The market will also be maintained by implementing the use
of a mobile unit to sell product during library off hours. '

6. Changes to the 1st paragraph of "Finance"
A successful partnership to operate the Library Cafe from the Mezzanine area will
significantly increase the opportunity to generate revenue and be successful. Leasehold
improvements to the Mezzanine area that meets Public Health Regulations would be
essential to ensuring the operation is viable. A contingency fund to retum the space to
its original design will be outlined in the signed agreement. Preliminary costs would
need to cover leasehold improvements and items such as furniture, an industrial
dishwasher, triple sinks, uniforms, a sign, products, a cash register, and salaries.
Continuing operating costs are not excessive, however, a sustainable operation would
need to cover the following expenses.

PROPOSAL FOR SUPPORT
THE CLARlNGTON PROJECT
The Clarington Project is a cooperative endeavour of persons with intellectual disabilities
and their families, friends, community agencies and businesses. Due to the lack of
services and opportunities for persons with intellectual disabilities in the area of Clarington,
a group of families and concemed community members formed the Clarington Project with
the assistance of Community Living Oshawa/Clarington, to develop solutions to some of
the issues facing people living in the community.
ABOUT THE INITIATIVE
The Library Cafe Training 'Enterprise is an initiative that will contribute to the training
development and employability of people with intellectual disabilities. It reflects a need
in the community, and offers a sustainable commerce opportunity and sense of
community belonging. It will also contribute to the viability of the Clarington Project.
The Library Cafe will serve premium beverages and light snack items at competitive
prices to library patrons, employees of the Municipality of Clarington and people who are
doing business with the Municipality. It will offer a variety of quality hot and cold
beverages such as coffee, cappuccino, espresso, tea, and juice, along with food items
such as bagels, muffins, cookies, soups, made to order sandwiches and desserts. All
food preparation and sales will be done on,site by the cafe employees.
The Library Cafe will offer employed training opportunities to both adults and transitional
age youth with intellectual disabilities in the Clarington area. They will submit their
application for employment. Successful applicants will be hired for a one year contract,
where they will be assisted to operate a viable community based enterprise as they
develop skills relevant for future job opportunities. At the completion of the one year
contract, trained employees will be connected to a community based organization for
assistance with obtaining continuous employment.
A strong community link with the Municipality of Clarington and the Library Board is
imperative to the practicality of this initiative. As outlined in the business plan, the
Bowmanville Municipal Library is the prime location for the Clarington Project Library
Cafe. The library is accessible, the library's membership exceeds 34,000 people and
the Municipality of Clarington, where there are over 650 employees. connects directly to
the Library.

Proposal for Suppon
.1-
Re\;sed March 14. .zOOS
"
Leasehold improvements that meet Public Health Regulations would be essential to
ensure the operation is viable. Our request for your support is outlined later on in this
document. Preliminary costs would need to cover leasehold improvements and items
such as furniture, an industrial dishwasher, a sign, products, a cash register, uniforms
and salaries. Continuing operating costs are detailed in the business plan.
MOdifying the hours of operation to ensure consumers can purchase products at desired
times will also be essential to the success of the operation. The Municipality of
Clarington and the Library have differing hours of operation. The Clarington Project
Library Cafe envisions a mobile unit set up in the lobby of the Municipality to capture this
market during Library off hours. Library access would be needed to perform this task.
Accordingly, please consider this request for approval to gain Library access at
appropriate hours,
OTHER SOURCES
A proposal to the Rotary Club of Bowmanville requesting seed money towards this
endeavour has been accepted, The Rotary Club of Bowmanville will contribute up to
$5,000 for leasehold improvements, however, the funding is time limited and must be
spent by June 01/05. Application for funding support through Ontario Disability Support
Program (ODSP and Hum!,!n Resources Development Canada (HRDC) is being
pursued. We are excited about this initiative and the opportunity it provides to people
with intellectual disabilities. It is anticipated that the Library Cafe will gain the support of
HRDC and ODSP. With continuous financial support through supporting agencies, the
Clarington Project anticipates the Library Cafe will be sustainable to buy product and
maintain services within the third year of operation.
This is a unique and exciting opportunity for everyone involved. It is essential that strong
community links with the Municipality, the Library, the Rotary Club of Bowmanville, the
BIA, ODSP and HRDC be maintained to strengthen the operating advantage.
PROPOSAL FOR SUPPORT
In collaboration with the Mayor, key municipal staff, and the Library Board, it is our
request to relocate the Library coffee kiosk to a new area in the Library, specifically the
Mezzanine Level, and secure operation of that unit. Please see the Clarington Public
Library Floor Plan - Mezzanine Level (attached) for the location requested. Your
contribution towards free rent and utilities is imperative to strengthen the operation of
this initiative.
Your approval to complete leasehold improvements to the Mezzanine Level that meet
Public Health Regulations for food preparation is essential. Improvements would include
installation of a new counter with triple sinks, a sandwich counter, four 15 amp circuits,
plumbing and flooring. Ceramic tile flooring, or the like, is requested in Reading Area
185, as shown on the Clarington Public Library Floor Plan - Mezzanine Level.
Leasehold improvements are estimated at $7,000, and are presently based on drawings
that do not include plumbing and electrical displays. With leasehold improvements the
Clarington Project Library Cafe can offer product variety to address the market demand
and ensure increased revenue. Municipal backing .towards the cost of the electrical and
plumbing work, estimated at $4,000, would be an important offer of support.

It will be necessary to install some new equipment in order to offer a variety of quality hot
and cold beverages and food items. It is with your approval that we assume use of all
existing equipment and install new equipment such as a toaster, a convection oven, a
dishwasher, and refrigerator. As outlined in the business plan, it is anticipated that
equipment will be acquired in three phases of operation.
As previously outlined, modifying the hours of operation to ensure consumers can
purchase products at desired times will also be essential to the success of the operation.
Approval to set up a mobile unit in the lobby of the Municipality during Library off hours,
to capture the morning market is requested. Library access would be needed to perform
this task. Accordingly, please consider this request for approval to gain Library access
at appropriate hours.
With the assistance of Community Livihg OshawalClarington, The Clarington Project is
determined in its efforts to provide opportunities to people with intellectual disabilities in
this area.
EVALUATION AND VIABILITY
In conjunction with this initiative, the Clarington Project will continue to develop
, resources and opportunities in our community to increase awareness, support
opportunities relevant to the people we provide service to, and enhance the quality of life
for people with intellectual disabilities living in Clarington.
Success of our initiative can be measured individually, financially and statistically. Key
community supporters with a keen business sense have committed their support, as well
as the continued commitment from families, friends, volunteers, and community
agencies and businesses.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The Clarington Project would be sincerely grateful for the sponsorship of the Municipality
of Clarington. With your approval, you would be recognized on our web site, in our
newsletter and through a press release with our community newspaper. You would be

REPORT NO.: CSD-07-05
PAGE 3
1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 In the fall of 2004, the Clarington's Brian McFarlane Hockey Museum Committee,
consisting of municipal staff and supported by Brian and Joan McFarlane,
Michael McFarlane, Bill Humber (local historian, author and sports enthusiast),
Barry Bryan Associates (Consultant) and GSM Design (Sub Consultants -
Museum and Display Specialists) suggested a museum business and marketing
plan would be beneficial to the success of the museum. This was predicated on
the complexity of the display, potential market attraction, existing tourism nodes
within the municipality, as well as, regional, provincial, national and international
partnerships and marketing opportunities.
1.2 Accordingly, the Community Services Department, in conjunction with the
Corporate Services Department, prepared and issued a Business and Marketing
Plan - Request for Proposal. The successful bidder was Deloitte & Touche LLP.
1.3 The Marketing and Business Plan has also reviewed the characteristics and
attributes of a museum of this nature and, in conjunction with staff, has provided
recommendations determining the necessary physical size requirements for
display, administration and retail sales areas of the museum in order to
undertake a successful project of this nature.
1.4 Since December 2004, Deloitte & Touche LLP have worked with the committee
and have researched, explored opportunities, commented and made
recommendations on all facets of the Request for Proposal. The Museum
Committee supports the Business and Marketing Plan and is recommending
approval in principle of the recommendations provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP.
2.0 BUSINESS AND MARKETING PLAN
2.1 Highlights of the study and comments are provided for Council's consideration as
follows:
2.2 BUSNESS CLIMATE - The demographics provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP (as
confirmed by the Development Charges Study) indicate that Clarington, as well
as the Region of Durham, is expected to continue to enjoy progressive
population growth over the next number of years. In terms of tourism, the area
already draws 3.3 million visits per year, cif which 94% are day trips typically from
GTA area and local residents. The study identifies three (3) main areas of
potential target market resources.
2.3 The municipality also enjoys several existing tourism attractions (for example,
Mosport, Bowmanville Zoo and Jungle Cat World) in which to share promotional
partnerships. In addition, there exists a strong minor hockey league program
REPORT NO.: CSD-07-05
PAGE 4
consisting of approximately 15,000 youth. The final market area is the
educational component in which there are over 100,000 elementary aged
children. These areas provide an advantage to the success of Clarington's Brian
McFarlane Hockey Museum as there is a large resident population, a large
existing tourism base and a large resident hockey base, compared to similar
operations throughout North America. Our market area has a population in
excess of 3.0 million, of which nearly 1.0 million will have an expressed interest
in a museum facility of this nature.
2.4 MARKETING STRATEGY - The Business and Marketing Plan has indicated
there are already a number of local area attractions that exist to compliment the
museum. In addition, the interest of local minor and senior hockey teams will be
a draw to the museum. The educational component will be of interest to the
various local and surrounding school boards as part of our Canadian heritage -
important to the school curriculum. The objective will be to develop the museum
into a destination location through the number of family day-trips and activities
already taking place within the municipality and particularly at the
Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex. In order to accomplish these objectives,
the Business and Marketing Plan has recommended the Municipality engage a
marketing firm to undertake these requirements as they pertain to our marketing
strategy.
2.5 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN - Key to the success of the Business and Marketing
Plan is the implementation plan for pre-launch and first year start up. The
success of the museum will largely depend on the pre-launch groundwork
undertaken by staff prior to the actual opening. Several components are to be in
place prior to the fall of 2006.
. Development of all staffing positions including position descriptions, staff
recruitment and training plus volunteers.
. Marketing Strategies - retention of marketing consultant to develop media
strategies, clientele targets, cross-promotion marketing campaigns,
educational component, sponsorship packages and special events and
promotion.
. Exhibit set-up and display components complimented by interactive displays.
2.6 As recommended, funding of $150,000.00 is required to engage a marketing firm
capable of undertaking a marketing program of this magnitude. The program will
include consulting fees, creative design and production costs. This expenditure
is for the initial development of the program.
2.7 LOCATION AND OPERATING STRATEGY - The Business and Marketing Plan
has indicated the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex is ideal for the museum
location. There is a built-in clientele attracting 300,000 visitors per year, in a
complimentary service to the museum. By locating the museum at the
Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex, there is expected savings in both capital
REPORT NO.: CSD-07-05
PAGE 5
and operating expenses. The projected visitation target is 20,000 to 25,000
visitors per year. Actual operating hours are to be confirmed, however, staff
would indicate consideration will be given to prime winter season, offering slightly
reduced summer hours.
2.8 STAFFING STRUCTURE - The Business and Marketing Plan recommended
staffing requirements conducive to operating hours and business expectations.
The lead position will be the Community Service Coordinator (existing position)
assisted by a full-time Museum Programmer/Curator fulfilling programming and
curatorial requirements (previously approved as a part-time position in the 2004
budget, however has not been activated pending the results of the Business and
Marketing Plan) and a Facility Clerk (existing position). Additional staffing will be
comprised of part-time clerical administrative support and a compliment of
volunteer tour guides. All new positions related to the museum will be
implemented as part of the 2006 annual budget process. Assuming an April
2006 budget approval, staff may require pre-budget approval for certain staff
associated with the museum. If required, staff will prepare a report to Council
later in 2005.
2.9 OPERATING PLAN - The Business and Marketing Plan identified several
revenue streams including general admissions, special events (exclusive use)
rentals, sponsorships and gift shop sales. In order to attract the required
revenues, the Museum Committee supports the Marketing and Business Plan
that wi'I'ay the foundation of the project as referred to in the business plan.
2,10 The Business and Marketing Plan developed a five (5) year operating budget
to demonstrate a proforma cash flow model. The model indicates a first-year
surplus operation and break-even operations in the subsequent years. It should
be noted that utilities, cleaning and insurance have been identified as Museum
operational costs, however, will be reflected as an overall increase to the
Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex once the Museum facility is fully
operational.
3.0 MUSEUM DESIGN
3.1 The consulting firm of Barry Bryan Associates has been retained to design the
physical building components. Through their sub-consultants, the firm of GSM
Design will develop the museum exhibits, display space and interactive
components within the museum structure. Our consultants have reviewed the
Municipality's artifacts acquired from Brian McFarlane and have made
comparisons to similar facilities in Canada, United States and Europe
to determine the recommended size (5,000 square feet) for
Clarington's Brian McFarlane Hockey Museum. As a result of the recommended
increase in the size of the building, staff is now required to provide updated
project financing as follows:

summer/fall of 2006.
4.0 FINANCING
4.1 An amount of $875,000.00 was set aside for this project in report CSD-20-03.
(Attachment #2). After marketing services are deducted, $725,000.00 currently
remains earmarked for this project. This results in the anticipated need for
financing of $1,090,000.00 to cover projected costs. It will be recommended that
this balance be debentured. The approximate annual repayment is estimated at
$130,000.00 annually. The required resolutions will be included in a future report
to Council as part of the tender awarded when exact costs are determined.
5.0 COMMENTS
5.1 Staff submitted a supplementary memorandum to Council on May 2, 2005
(Attachment #1) which introduced several of the Business and Marketing Plan
recommendations, including the requirement for post-budget approval of
$150,000.00 to engage a marketing consultant, creative design, printing and
production costs.
5.2 The Director of Finance has recommended the expenses for the marketing firm
be funded from the Escrow Reserve Fund Account as already approved
for the Museum Capital Project as identified in Report CSD-20-03

MEMO
TO: Mayor John Mutton and Members of Council
FROM: Joseph P. Caruana, Director
Community Services Department
DATE: May 2,2005
RE: Clarington's Brian McFarlane Hockey Museum
The Business Plan and Marketing Strategy that was commissioned to Deloitte is
currently in its final stages. Recently, staff have been provided with an overview of
that process and I would like to take this opportunity to provide Members of Council
with preliminary project cost estimates. As Council is preparing to consider the 2005
budget this Friday, it is prudent to be aware of these anticipated increases that will
impact the 2006 budget.
The size of the museum is being recommended to be approximately 6,000 sq. ft.
This is an increase over the initial estimate of 3,500 sq. ft. and the $875,000
approved preliminary budget. The increase in the square footage requirement
suggests that an estimated capital construction budget of $1 ,500,000 to build the
museum and additional consulting (architectural) fees of approximately $150,000 will
be required.
This is a total increase of $866,500 to the earlier project estimate. It should be noted
these are still estimates and will be refined when the building has been designed and
tenders received, scheduled for October 2005.
Also identified is the pre-launch program for the museum operation. The consultant
is recommending approximately $150,000 will be required leading up to the opening
of the museum in the Fall of 2006. This $150,000 consists of hiring a marketing
consultant, creative design, printing and reproduction costs associated with the
operation of the museum. This will be required in 2005; finances to be addressed in
a subsequent staff report.
CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON
40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L 1C 3A6 T(905)623-3379 F (905)623-5506
The ongoing operational budget and associated staffing requirements will be
addressed through the 2006 budget process. Assuming an April 2006 budget
approval, staff may require pre-budget approval for certain staff associated with the
museum. If required, staff will prepare a formal report to Council later in 2005.
Staff will be scheduling a detailed presentation by the project consultant within the
next 3-4 weeks. In the meantime, if you have any questions or require clarification,
please do not hesitate to contact me.

1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 As Members of Council are aware, staff negotiated successfully for the
acquisition of the Brian McFarlane Hockey Museum.
1.2 At that time, Council reviewed a number of options that would see the host site
for the new hockey museum located in the courtyard at the Gamet B. Rickard
Recreation Complex.
1.3 The museum, as operated by the McFarlane's, utilized approximately 3,000
square feet of display area, staff is recommending a structure approximately
3,500 square feet, which will allow for some modest expansion of the museum
displays and further provide an area for rotating displays.
1.4 Staff will be reviewing various options for the rotating displays, anticipating they
will be supplied in conjunction with the National Hockey League's Hall of Fame in
Toronto. Those discussions will take place over the next number of months.
1.5 As this is a specialty structure, the cost to design and construct a facility of this
nature is estimated in the $250 per square foot range, which will require a project
budget of $875,000.00.
1.6 Of this amount, a significant portion will be allocated to interior treatments and
display areas of the facilities. Please refer to Section 2.3 of this report for a
detailed breakdown of this project budget.
2.0 PROGRAM
2.1 This project will consist of the construction of approximately 3,500 square feet of
space, located in the courtyard area of the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation
Complex, immediately adjacent to the lobby linking Pad A and Pad B of the
facility.
2.2 The building will be completely self contained and will consist of a main entrance,
display area, Peter Puck Theatre, souvenir sales area and storage. It is
anticipated to be accessible externally as well as from the interior of the existing
complex.

2.5 Financing
It is recommended that the Hockey Museum be funded from the Impact/Escrow
Reserve Fund. In 1996, Council transferred funds from the Impact/Escrow
Reserve Fund to the Older Adults - Operating Reserve Fund. The principal was
to be held however, interest earned was to be available through the budget
process to assist in the start-up operations of the Older Adults Centre. The
principal was to be returned to the Impact/Escrow Reserve Fund December 31,
2000. In 2000, Council extended this date to December 31,2003. Therefore,
there is $754,775.00 that will return to Impact/Escrow Reserve Fund on
December 31 of this year. It is proposed that these funds plus the balance of
$120,225.00 currently in the Impact/Escrow Reserve Fund be used to finance the
Hockey Museum capital construction costs.
3.0 COMMENT
3.1 Staff will be reviewing various options and partnerships available regarding the
operation of the Museum and will be the subject of an additional report to Council.
Preliminary operating estimates will be provided in the 2004 current operating
budget and will reflect the proposed project schedule.

1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 As the Municipality continues to enjoy growth population, the number of
recreational facilities and programs offered by the Community Services
Department and respective community sports groups also continues to
expand in both number and variety of facilities and programs offered.
1.2 The Community Services Department has recognized a number of trends and
concerns related to social and behavioural issues of patrons. Staff requires the
necessary resources to address these issues with the participants and general
public accessing the facilities.
1.3 To be customer service friendly, staff are recommending a simple Patrons' Code
of Conduct (attachment #1) be developed that would be posted in each of the
facilities to remind participants, visitors and the general public of socially
acceptable behaviour within the municipality's facilities while participating and/or
viewing programs or events.
2.0 COMMENTS
2.1 The Community Services Department staff has reviewed the Parks By-Law
91-20 and, while it serves a very specific purpose, the by-law does not address
community expectations for social and behavioural issues. The by-law is not
presented in a simplified easy-to-understand format that may be easily posted or
reviewed onsite at the municipality's facilities.
2.2 During the development process, staff contacted a number of municipalities
within the GTA and discovered those municipalities have also introduced
comparable Codes of Conduct for their patrons under similar reasons,
specifically, to address emerging social and behavioural issues by posting
concise information within the facilities to guide the participants and general
public in terms of socially acceptable behaviour in our community.
2.3 As community trends emerge, staff will continue to monitor the effectiveness of
the Patrons' Code of Conduct and will continue to update accordingly.
2.4 Staff acknowledges with more significant issues and concerns, the Parks By-Law
91-20 maintains a specific application for the purposes of regulating, protecting
and governing the municipality's parks and facilities to be enforced by the
municipality's by-law enforcement staff or police. The proposed Patrons' Code of
Conduct is intended to enhance all applicable by-laws and to provide a more
enjoyable experience while attending community facilities or participating in
programs.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
On December 13, 2004, through the adoption of Report CLD-037-04, Council authorized the
Municipal Clerk to perform civil marriages in the Municipal Administrative Centre Monday to
Friday, in accordance with the Marriage Act. Following adoption of this recommendation, the
Province was requested to supply a Marriage Register. Upon receipt of the register, we were
able to commence the service.
When Report CLD-037 -05 was prepared, we were unable to anticipate the demand for the
service, however the response has exceeded our expectations. The first service was
performed on March 22, 2005 and, as of the writing of this report, eight services have been
conducted. Another five are scheduled prior to the end of June.
There has been no negative reaction to the times and location which we offer the service.
Individuals who have requested services to be performed on weekends or at other locations
have been provided with a list of ministers we are aware of who will perform civil services.
Given the positive response to this service, it is recommended that the service continue to be
offered Monday to Friday at the Municipal Administrative Centre. During the summer months
when the Council Chambers renovation is being undertaken, we are making every attempt to
accommodate requests within the Municipal Administrative Centre.

REPORT NO.: CLD-024-05
PAGE 2 OF 3
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
On April 18, 2005, Council received correspondence from the Ministry of Natural Resources
seeking our support to allow Sunday gun hunting in the Municipality.
Most of the Sunday hunting regulations were implemented in the 1950s. Currently gun and
archery hunting on Sundays is allowed in northern Ontario, archery hunting on Sundays in
southern Ontario and gun hunting on Sundays in some areas in the southern part of the
province. Where municipalities have specifically asked that Sunday gun hunting be allowed,
the Ministry agreed to those request in the regulations resulting in the present regulatory
situation.
Under the current regulatory scheme, Sunday hunting using guns is permitted in the following
areas south of the French and Mattawa Rivers:
. the County of Renfrew, other than the Township of Raglan
. the United Counties of Prescott and Russell
. the Township of Haldimand in the County of Northumberland
. the Townships of East Ferris, Bonfield, Calvin, Papineau-Cameron and Boyd in the
territorial District of Nippissing
Additionally, under the current regulatory scheme, Sunday gun hunting/use of guns is allowed:
. on licensed game bird hunting preserves
. for protection of property, including agricultural deer removal authorizations
. for target shooting
The Ministry advises that farmers have increasingly expressed concerns about crop damage
from increasing populations of some wildlife species, causing many in the farming community
to ask for amendments to hunting regulations as one means of helping address the problem.
REPORT NO.: CLD-024-05
PAGE 3 OF 3
In an attempt to curb the deer population, the Ministry has increased season lengths to the
east of the Municipality of Clarington and in several other areas across Southern Ontario.
Also, they are allowing hunters to purchase more than one tag to harvest more deer.
The Ministry divides the province into Wildlife Management Units (WMUs). Clarington is
located in WMU 72A, 72B and 73 (see map attached hereto as Attachment No.1). WMU 72B
is the area bounded by Townline Road on the west, Taunton Road on the north, Highway
35/115 on the east and Lake Ontario on the south. This area is an archery-only hunting area,
ie, deer hunting can only occur with a bow and arrow and only during the period of October 1
to December 31. Other species can be hunted using guns in this area during the appropriate
hunting season. When archery hunting, Sunday hunting is allowed. In the rest of the
Municipality, hunters can use guns for any species during the appropriate hunting seasons.
In May 2001, the Municipality amended its hunting by-law to address concerns brought forward
by residents. In so doing, we communicated with many interested parties and were able to
incorporate aspects into the by-law which have helped to address these concerns include a
ban on the discharge of firearms around public centres. Since the by-law was passed, the
Municipal Law Enforcement Division has received no complaints related to hunting activities.
Amending the regulations now to allow for Sunday hunting will undoubtedly bring forward
many concerns once again from those residents who live in the rural areas.
Recently, we have been experiencing an increase in livestock damage related to coyotes. The
current regulations do allow for farmers to discharge guns on Sundays to protect their livestock
against this type of attack.
Given that our by-law is working well and that farmers are able to protect their livestock seven
days a week under the current regulations, it is recommended that the Municipality of
Clarington advise the Ministry of Natural Resources that we do not support Sunday gun
hunting.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
Tenders were publicly advertised and invited to provide Electrical Services as required by
the Municipality of Clarington for the period of May 2005 to April 2007.
Subsequently, tenders were received and tabulated as per Schedule "A" attached.
The bid prices represent an approximate sixteen percent (16%) increase in the hourly
rates over the 2003 tender prices. This is the first increase in the hourly rate since the
year 2000. The required funds will be drawn from the various years Current Budget
Accounts.
Note, although the material cost for George Moore Electric is slightly higher than that of
one of the other bidders, the actual cost difference is difficult to quantify as each
contractors "cost" may be different.
For the information of Council, the Municipality of Clarington paid approximately
$70,000.00 to George Moore Electric for Electrical Service's during 2004. Based on
previous years costs this would equate to approximately 45% of the total for labour and
55% for parts.
George Moore Electric has previously provided satisfactory service to the Municipality of
Clarington.
After further review and analysis of the bids by Purchasing and the Director of Operations,
it is respectfully recommended that George Moore Electric, Bowmanville, Ontario, be
awarded the contract to provide Electrical Services to the Municipality of Clarington, as
required.

REPORT: COD-026-05
PAGE 2
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
As approved in the 2005 Capital Budget both the Clerk's Department and the Emergency & Fire
Services Department provided funding for the purchase of a new compact sedan and a four-
door full size sedan, respectively. In each case, the departments have expressed a need to
have these vehicles available immediately or as soon as practicable to deal with a shortage of
vehicles. In the case of the Clerk's Department, the van they have shared with the Community
Services Department is needed full time by the Community Services Department for the
summer. Under the circumstances, it is important that the Clerk's Department have the
compact sedan before the summer months to provide transportation for Parking Enforcement
staff. In the case of the Emergency & Fire Services Department, the vehicle is needed for the
new Deputy Chief.
Due to the timing of the budget approval the opportunity to secure pricing by tender and place
factory orders for the purchase of 2005 model light duty vehicles has passed and the
opportunity will not present itself again until late August or early September when pricing for the
2006 models becomes available to the dealers. In order to obtain the vehicles in time to meet
the requirements of the two departments it is recommended that staff negotiate with selected
vendors for the purchase of existing vehicles for immediate delivery. The conventional
competitive bidding process normally used to purchase vehicles will not work in this case
because of the time it takes to secure the bids, evaluate the bids, make the selection and get
the approval to award orders. Given the urgency the vehicles must be on the lot and ready for
immediate purchase, however, these vehicles are subject to prior sale and may well be sold
before a final decision and approval could be obtained to proceed with the purchase.
For the foregoing reasons, the staff recommends that the tenderin9 requirements of the
Purchasing By-law #94-129, Paragraph 5, item 5.06 be waived and approval be given to
proceed with the negotiation with selected dealers for the immediate purchase of two vehicles
subject of course, to the purchase price being within the budget estimate. Note, provided the
total price of the vehicles are within the approved capital budget amounts, a further report to
Council will not be brought forward.

In order to avoid this problem in future, it is recommended that, Staff be authorized to proceed
with pre-budget approval in January of each year. For the purchase of all light duty vehicles
budgeted in that year, with the final award being subject to Council approval within the
Purchasing by-law provision. This will enable the Purchasing Division to complete the
competitive bid process, evaluate the bids, prepare the required reports recommending awards
and place the orders before manufacturers cut off factory orders.
The advantages of taking this initiative will get the required current model vehicles to the
departments early in the year. Early acquisition of replacement vehicles will eliminate any
operating/maintenance costs required to maintain older vehicles until the replacements arrive in
November/December using the current timing.
The required funds to cover the purchases are provided as follows in the 2005 Emergency &
Fire Services and Clerk's Department Capital Budget as identified by Project ID #5000-8210-
05002 and #3000-8250-05001 respectively.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
Approximately five years ago, the Municipality of Clarington went through are-branding
process to create a new and progressive look for its visible corporate identity. Branding
is a strategy that builds relationships with the public. It isn't an ad, logo, corporate
identity, Web site, or brochure. These are the vehicles we use to deliver your brand
message, but they aren't the actual brand
The goal of branding all municipal communications is to increase public
recognition and awareness of the Municipality and to establish a consistent, positive
corporate image. The most basic component of a strong organizational image is a
consistent visual presentation. It is one of an organization's most valuable (and
protected) assets.
The Municipality's official logo is a registered trade mark of
the Municipality of Clarington. It is registered with the Canadian
Intellectual Property Office. The actual logo is the word
"Clarington" - its colour, font style and usage. This is the visual identity of the
Municipality in all communications with the public, businesses and other levels of
government.
Clarington - Leading the Way is a part of the municipal corporate identity.
"Leading the Way" is a tag line used to communicate the idea that Clarington is a leader
- not follower - that our strength is in our leadership. This is the day-to-day message
that is sent to the public and is also a registered trade mark of the Municipality of
Clarington.
When the concept of the Clarington Energy Park first arose (late 2004), the need
for a strategic promotion campaign was identified. Given the leadership of the
Municipality of Clarington in this process, a new tag
line was created to send a new and very specific
message to potential partners. This new tag line has
now been incorporated into the Municipality's logo but it is not a new logo. It is
registered trade mark of the Municipality because it incorporates the official logo and
cannot be used without the written permission of the Municipality.

SUMMARY
The Municipality's official logo is shown on the right. It is
not recommended, at this time, that the logo be changed
to incorporate the "Energizing Ontario" message. The
logo and its message should be reviewed every two or three years to ensure that the
message it sends it current and reflective of the direction that Clarington is taking. Any
proposed change to the logo will be brought to Council for approval. Changes to the cut
line may be incorporated under the direction of the Chief Administrative Officer as
community or corporate interests change.

BACKGROUND
At the request of the Newcastle Memorial Arena Management Board (The Board) staff
have been meeting and assisting the Board in its desire to upgrade the Newcastle
Memorial Arena.
Essentially the Board is requesting some consideration of renovations (Attachment #1)
that would incorporate 2 additional dressing rooms, relocation of the Concession area (to
become more accessible), additional storage and finally a larger lobby and entrance.
The Board also requested ~onsideration of a new roof (over the lobby and entrance
area), refrigeration plant upgrat;les to improve efficiency of the plant and if possible a
wider corridor leading to the dressing rooms.
Through discussion with the Board Members the roof and plant upgrades were deemed
to be the responsibility of. the Municipality through the Building Maintenance Program and
will be addressed at the appropriate time through the Municipal Capital Budget
deliberations.
The request for widening the corridor was considered by staff as non-essential and would
significally inflate the project's estimated costs.
Subsequentially the Board has agreed to staffs proposed building program as outlined in
section 1.2 of this report.
2.0 FINANCING
~
--
2.1 Staff requested financial data outlining the method of raising funds for repayment of the
loan. Essentially the Board is proposing to raise it's user fees to cover the repayment
schedule.

payment schedule is attainable with the proposed increase in user fees.

hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) is forwarded with terms established over seven (7)
years to be repaid in seven installments with the first payment due December 31, 2002
and that funds are to be drawn from the Impact/Escrow Revenue Fund Account
#1110-196-X.

Anention Mr. Joseph Caruana
Director, Community Services.
.
Dear Mr. Caruana:
Just a short note to thank you, Mr Acorn, and Mr. Horvath for your attendance at our
board meeting of October 2, 200 I. We certainly appreciate your input and assistance you
extended to our members regarding both projects. our renovation desires and your ice
allocation program. Regarding the laner. Our board members now have a better
undemanding of the thoughts and procedures and look forward to further communication
and the final draft and report.
Regarding our renovations should they be approved. [ am taking this opportUnity to re-
cap our priority list to make sure everything was covered during our discussions.
Obviously depending on budget appfiival. this is what we would like to tackle. "
A) Bringing the snack bar to the main floor is crucial to increasing revenue and making
the arena more user friendly.
B) Lobby and entrance way need to be addressed to improve traffic flow and alleviate
congestion. From incoming and outgoing hockey players with bags, sticks and various
paraphernalia c1unering up our thoroughfare while they wait for the dressing rooms to be
vacated.
C) A new roof over the lobby and entrance will bring assistance to the Municipality's
budget plans to replace the entire roof as our contribution would cover some of this COSL
D) Increase dressing room space and improve shower facilities. which are currently
inadequate for the arena.
808
Al I A\OHMt:N r #1 TO REPORT # CSD-05-o1 (PAGE 2)
E) Attention to a more energy efficient plant operation with the addition of a second hum
icon. or any suggestions Mr. Horvath may have to improve our plant efficiency.
F) Improved storage facilities that can be tied into these renovations will be another
improvement that will come about from these changes.
Joe: this just about covers all our requirements. in closing I would just like to mention
that we have an excellent arena board membership in place. For a group of volunteers,
they are committed and dedicated to the arena community. In the past 18 months we have
brought increased revenue to the arena with rink board advertising, which was never in
place prior to the year 2000. We have purchased and installed a new scoreboard fully
financed by a corporate donation and last but not least we are presently undergoing
renovations to both washrooms with a $20,000.00 expenditure. We all look forward to
favourable approval of. if not all of our wish list. a ",~ryponion of these projects to
improve Newcastle Arena for the Municipality and its users.
Thanks! Again

Yours truly,

BACKGROUND:
1.0 Council held a hearing into a municipal development charges complaint on
Monday, February 28, 2005. Mr. Edmond Vanhaverbeke, President, Syvan
Developments Limited made a presentation to Council regarding a building being
constructed at 275 Toronto St., Newcastle. A copy of Mr. Vanhaverbeke's
submission is attached.
1.1 Under By-Law 2000-108, as amended, development charges are payable in
respect of the development of residential and non-residential buildings or
structures at the rates set out in Schedules "1" and "2" of the By-Law, subject to
certain exemptions set out in the By-Law. With respect to the building in
question, it is 'non-residential' as the term 'non-residential' is defined in
subsection 1 (1) of the By-Law. Accordingly, the non-residential development
charge per square metre rate would be payable in respect of this development
unless they are exempted from the development charge by an exemption
provision contained in By-Law 2000-108, as amended.
1.2 Whether or not development charges are payable in respect of any development
is determined in the first instance by the Chief Building Official when an
application for a building permit is received. His determination is based on the
characteristics of the development that is proposed, other evidence provided by
the applicant to establish the use to which the development will be put, and the
provisions of the Development Charges By-Law.
1.3 The Chief Building Official, in interpreting the By-Law, concluded that the
buildings in question were non-residential with no exemption eligibility. As there
was no tenant at the time of the building permit application, the applicant could
not establish that the building was to be used for industrial purposes.
1.4 The fact that the buildings in question are located in an area where they are a
permitted industrial use under the Zoning By-Law does not affect in any way the
question of the interpretation of the development charges By-Law.
1.5 The development charges By-Law exempts the development of an industrial
building from the payment of development charges and defines 'industrial' as
follows:
"industrial" means manufacturing, assembling, processing, fabricating, refining,
research and development, storage of materials and products, truck terminals,
warehousing, ....
FND-OOG-05
Page 3
CONCLUSION:
2.0 As mentioned above, the applicant could not establish that he fell within the
definition for the exemption for the use of the building. As a result, development
charges were levied under the By-Law. It is recommended that this decision be
upheld. If no charge is levied and the tenants end up being commercial, there
would be no mechanism to recover the development charges levies.

_~:.:;:::!i':G dEPARTMENT
Dear Mayor and Members of Council:
Re: 275 Toronto St. Newcastle. Buildinl!: Permit #040729
Objection to Development Charges on the Above Property
Please consider this our Notice of Objection to paying the development charges on
building permit #040729 for 275 Toronto St., Newcastle.
The property in question is zoned Ml lndustrialand we in are the process of building an
industrial building on it without tenant or buyer in place; As you know, there are. no
development charges applicable to industrial. buildings (By-Law #2000-108, 23."Rule .
with Respect to the Exemption of Industrial Development"). However, we were told we
must pay the development levy of $14,029.09 (see attached) because the building
"might" be used for a use other than industrial.
Unfortunately, there is no way for us to recover that development levy should the
property be sold or leased in an industrial use (as we expect it will) except by submitting
an objection to the levy in writing within 90 days of the permit being issued (pursuant to
"Development Charges" ChapterD.9.8.la and 2a).
Given that we are going forward with this building "on spec", given that it is an industrial
building on industrial-zoned lands and given that it is very likely to attract a new business
to the community, we feel that the development levy was inappropriate considering we
were offered no mechanism to recover the lot levies should it finally be used for
industrial uses.
. <
These are the grounds of my protest.
Please feel free to contact me for additional information.
Sincerely,
SYV AN DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED

1.0 PURPOSE
1.1 This report sets out the current status of proposed Amendment No. 39 to the
Clarington Official Plan. If it is approved, Official Plan Amendment No. 39, among
other things, would amend the Port Darlington Neighbourhood Secondary Plan to
allow for the realignment of a portion of East Beach Road in order to enlarge the
waterfront district park area and to improve the planned road network.
1.2 This report recommends amendments to Official Plan Amendment No. 39, as
amended, in response to an appeal from its adoption that has been made to the
Ontario Municipal Board. If approved, Official Plan Amendment No. 39 as
amended will be consistent with the central purpose and intent of Official Plan
Amendment No. 39 as it stood before the recommended amendments to it are
made.
2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 On June 28th, 2004 Council decided that it would be desirable in the public
interest to acquire a larger waterfront park than previously considered to
implement the future District Park identified in the Clarington Official Plan. At the
same meeting, Council authorized the initiation of expropriation procedures in
respect of two properties in the East Beach areas; Council approved three
additional acquisitions in October and November of 2004 and the making of two
additional expropriation applications in the East Beach area. As well, Council
authorized the initiation of the expropriation procedures for the Port Darlington
Harbour Company Lands on the West Beach.
2.2 At the October 25th, 2004 meeting of Council, staff was authorized to prepare
appropriate amendments to the Port Darlington Neighbourhood Secondary Plan
in order to facilitate the creation of larger, more usable park space as a focal
point on the Bowmanville waterfront.
2.3 A statutory Public Meeting was held on November 15, 2004 at which a number of
residents appeared before committee with questions as to the details of the park
plan and traffic management issues given the recent evacuation and emergency
caused by the Caledon Propane fire at its site on Port Darlington Road at the
CNR level crossing.
2.4 Council adopted Official Plan Amendment No. 39 to the Port Darlington
Neighbourhood Secondary Plan at a meeting held on January 17, 2005 by
passing By-law 2005-004.
2.5 Two appeals have been made to the Ontario Municipal Board from the adoption
of the Official Plan Amendment. They will be heard by a Joint Board made up of
a member of the Ontario Municipal Board and a member of the Environmental
Review Tribunal.
ADDENDUM #2 TO REPORT NO.: PSD-155-04
PAGE 3
2.6 In light of the objections made by the appellants, staff recommended on April 25,
2005 that in order to simplify the process without damaging the achievement of
the central purpose and intent of the Official Plan amendment that By-law 2005-
004 be amended.
2.7 It appears that the amendments address some of the concerns of the appellants;
however, to further clarify, it is the Municipality's intent that any relocation of Port
Darlington Road would be within properties owned by the Municipality. As such,
staff recommends that in order to provide assurance to the property owners of
adjacent properties, without damaging the achievement of the central purpose
and intent of the Official Plan Amendment, that By-law 2005-004 be further
amended (Attachment 3).
3.0 COMMENTS
3.1 The amendments now recommended by staff will permit the relocation of a
portion of East Beach Road and Port Darlington Road and the development of
the district waterfront park with an appropriate configuration while responding to
what staff understand to be the objections of the appellants to Official Plan
Amendment No. 39.
4.0 CONCLUSIONS
4.1 It is recommended that Council adopt the amendments to Official Plan
Amendment No. 39 contained in Attachment 1 and pass the necessary by-law.
Attachments:
Attachment 1 - Amendment to Proposed Official Plan Amendment NO.39
Attachment 2 - Addendum to PSD-155-04 dated April 25, 2005 (contains PSD-155-04

4.0 EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES
4.1 The majority of the lands are agricultural except for the historic settlement of Port
. Darlington, which dates from the late 1800's and early 1900's. In recalt years,
. . there has been a resurgence of interest in the community and a numl:er of the
seasonal cottages have been converted into year round dwellings. The historic
industrial waterfront uses, like ship building are in close proximity to the east side
of Bowmanville Creek. In addition, the area adjacent to the eastern side of
Bowmanville Creek has been developed as a hotel/restaurant/manna and
condominiums. Large utilities such as the Port Darlington Pollution Corniol Plant
and Water Treatment Plant have existed for a number of years. The natural
features such as the Lake Ontario Shoreline, Bowmanville Creek aid Marsh
dominate the landscape.

4.2 Surrounding Uses:

South:

Green Space (hydro corridor)

5.0 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
5.1 . The Durham Region Official Plan was. approved by the Province on November
24, 1993. The Plan extends to the year 2021 and gives a target population for
Bowmanville of 85,000 and for Clarington of 130,000. The Plan is currently
under review. Section 14.3.9 of the Region's Official Plan designates Port
Darlington as a "waterfront place". Waterfront Places shall be developed as focal
points. The predominant uses may include marina, recreational, tourisl, cultural
and community uses. The same section also sets out the waterfrontlrail as a
primary method of providing public access to the waterfront and to provide
continuity to the open spaces along the waterfront.
5.2 The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject lands as a Secondary Plan
within the Official Plan. The Goals and Objectives of the Secondary Plan are il)
keeping with the Crombie Commission, the Clarington Waterfront Strategy and
both the Regional and Local Official Plans. The Secondary Plan the land use
designations for the Port Darlington Neighbourhood establishes the general
pattern for future development, including the Residential, Marina Commercial,
Village Commercial, Waterfront Greenway and Parks, Prestige Employment
Areas, Utilities and Environmental Protection Areas. The land use designations
in the .Official Plan and Secondary Plan remain as currently approved in the
Official Plan (See Attachment 2).
5.3 While the Municipality had been acquiring properties on the south sideof East
Beach Road and owns other lands to the north there was no overall parkland
development plan. To achieve the vision that Council had for a waterfront park it
was determined that additional properties on the north sideof East Beach Road
"Il-r uP\., ''1V.. r ~...,- I ,..h"'-V_
would be required to provide sufficient depth and mass to the park adjacent to
the water. This would necessitate the moving of East Beach Road and
realignment of Port Darlington Road. From an. engineering and traffic flow
perspective the realignment of these roads would provide for better park access
and improved safety. However, Policy 24.3 of the Official Plan indicates that
where. the boundaries of various land use designations coincide with physical
features, such as creeks, rail lines, roads and utility lines, or instrument such as
lot and concession lines or property limits, these boundaries are meant to be
exact. As such it is necessary to amend the Secondary Plan to allow East Beach
Road to be shifted to the north.
5.4 It is also necessary to amend the Secondary Plan to provide flexibility in lt1e
alignment of Port Darlington Road, which could be shifted towards Bowmanville
Creek to provide for better traffic flow and turning radii. The exact alignment of
this road will be the subject of further study.
5.5 This Amendment is based upon the detailed design development for the parkland
and road alignment, resulting from engineering and hydraulic, shoreline and
wetland studies. Minor technical changes have been recommended as part of
the amendment to clarify specific policies as they relate to the studies and Policy
7.4 has been deleted.
6.0 PUBLIC MEETING AND SUBMISSION
6.1 _ At the statutory public meeting held on November 15, 2004 residents expressed
concerns: regarding the details of the conceptual park plan and traffic
management issues related to the existing road network. .
6.2 The Conceptual Master plan for the. Port Darlington Waterfront Park was
approved by Council on November 8, 2004. The Engineering ServiCBS Report
EGD-50-04 is attached (Attachment 3); it sets out the overall concept for the park
development in its initial phases. The conceptual park plan will be the subject of
public input prior to finalization of the. design. The detailed questions from the
public regarding, separation from existing residents, development cos~, funding
sources, maintenance and operation procedures, connections between the east
and west beach areas etc. will be addressed as part of the public review process
of the Conceptual Masterplan. There was no fundamental disagreement with the
park development. .
6.3 The traffic management issue such as the long term improvement of Bennett
Road, an additional crossing of the railway tracks and better emergency access

1.0 iNTRODUCTION
In July 2000, Council approved a Land Acquisition Strategy for the Municipality of
Clarington and subsequent updates in May of 2002 (PSD-044-02) and June of 2004
(PSD-093-04). A Financial Analysis was prepared to evaluate the financial viability and
funding sources for the Land Acquisition Strategy (Report PSD-043-02). Tne Financial
Analysis report concluded that acquisition needed to be scheduled over a 20. year
period. Since, that time a number of properties have been obtained and we now have
sufficient lands to begin some development of the Bowrnanville waterfront for parkland.
Council has since June of 2004 approved the acquisition and/or expropriation of the
lands necessary to develop Phase 1 of the Port Darlington Waterfront Park on the East
Beach. To provide Collncil with a vision of what the final build out of the park
development would look like, Engineering Services has had a conceptual master plan
prepared for all of the lands identified in the Acquisition Strategy regardlessof the land
acquisition timing priority. From this conceptual plan the Phase 1 development plans
can be developed for implemeniation in 200~ or 2006 subject to funding. .
2.0 OVERVIEW OFTHE WATERFRONT STRATEGY
The Clarington Waterfront Strategy (1993) was prepared to provide a lon~\erm vision
for Clarington's waterfront. The Strategy identified, among other things, the lack of
active and passive/recreation opportunities along the waterfront. Much of the Lake
Ontario shoreline wa.s impeded by large land owners, such as St. Ma~s Cement,
Cameco, Darlington Nuclear Generating Station, Wilmot Creek RetiremenlCommunity
and large agricultural operations.
To provide more public open space the Strategy identified three district parks, cne in
each of the three Urban Areas, focal nodes and areas of interest along tre waterfront.
District parks in Newcastle Village and Bowmanville were centered arounHhe existing
harbours. The district park for Courtice was identified at the bottom of eourtice Road.
Two passive recreation areas were identified, one around the Wilrrot Creek in
Newcastle and the other around Bowmanville Marsh in Bowmanville. TIe Waterfront
Trail, focal nodes, and areas of interest associated with the trail will be comained withih
a greenwayof linear parks along the waterfront. (See Attachment 1)
The recommendations within the strategy provided the basis for waterfront policies in
the Clarington Official Plan, adopted in 1996. In the Clarington Official Plan the district
parks. are identified with District Park symbols, and the greenway as "Waterfront.
Greenway" or in some instances "Environmental Protection".

3~O PROGRESS OF THE BOWMANVILLE WATERFRONT LAND ACQUISIiION AND
. PARK PLANS
3.1 OvelView
In 1999; approxirnately 45 hectares (111 acres) of land in and adjacent to the
Bowmanville and Wests ide Marshes were secured by the Municipality of Clarington as a
result of negotiations with Blue Circle Cement (now st. Marys Cement) to save a portion
of the Westside Marsh. These lands were subsequently transferred to Central Lake.
Ontario Conservation Authority. A management plan is being prepared jointly by the
. Municipality and CLOCA to ensure the ecological functions of the marshes are not lost
as a result of future quarrying by St. Marys Cement. The plan will also provide
opportunities for passive recreational uses. The residents and Council were recently
invited on a tour in the summer of 2004 to view the works which are nearing completion.
The Municipality leases a portion of the Bowmanville Harbour Conservation Area from
CLOCA. A Conceptual Plan was prepared in 2000 which recommends improvements
to the boat launch, parking lot, Waterfront Trail and fish cleaning station. New play
areas and a lookout are also proposed. The improvements total $1.14 milron dollars.
One third funding has been approved in the SuperBuild program. The implerrentation of
these improvements are contingent cn receiving the balance of funds in the 2005
capital budget.
A District Park is designated at the mouth of the Bowmanville Creek for bo\h the east
beach and west beach. The Port Darlington Harbour Company (PDHC) currently owns
the lands on both the east and west of Bowmanville Creek. The Municipali~ has been
in negotiations with PDHC for sometime. The PDHC lands on the East Beach are
included in the long-term acquisition strategy however at this time acquisition is not
crucial .to the first phase of park development. In addition, accommodating marine
industry in Bowmanville Harbour is desirable from both economic and public interest
aspects (e.g. an active waterfront is desirable). The Municipality has been acquiring
lands on the south and north side of East Beach Road to provide for suffic~nt depth to
the park and ancillary facilities such as parking and washrooms, etc. Ps such, the
Municipality has prepared a design concept that can be phased in overtime and in
relation to which lands will ultimately be publicly accessible. In addition, funds should
be allocated in the capital budget to begin implementation such as grading, parking,
seating and some plantings.

. 3.3 Bowma/wille!\'Vestside Marshes Management Plan
CLOCA and the Municipality have been working. on a Management Plan for the
Bowmanville and Westside Marshes since 2001; as part of this plan a report regarding
the dynamic beach and how it should be managed in the West Beach Area has been
prepared. The draft report recommended that "Due to the extreme .severily of the
hazards (Le. potential loss of life)" CLOCA and the Municipality continue with the long
term acquisition strategy of this area. In addition, the recreational activities
recommended for this West Beach and Bowmanville Marsh are passive in reture and
promote the restoration of the dune area along West Beach to maintain fue barrier
between thelake and marsh. .
3.4 Conceptual k-faster Plan for Port Darlington Waterfront Park
A Conceptual Master Plan has been prepared to provide a vIsion for the future
development of the waterfront in Port Darlington. The physical barrier of the
Bowmanville Creek divides the park into two distinct sides. Each side preserns different
opportunities for park development.
The West Beach side contains the marsh and a sand beach with level actess to the
waters edge. The East Beach side has a shoreline that is elevated from the waters edge
and existing uses such as the marina, condominiums, and Bobby C's restaurnnt.
The Conceptual Master Plan takes advantage of the physical features of each site to
create a district park that Will provide a variety of recreational opportun ities for residents
of Clarington and beyond. .
3.4.1 East Beach Side (Attachment 2)
The east side of the creek would contain the active use areas of the park. Itis proposed
that a large central gathering node be constructed near the waters edge at the south
extension of Port Darlington Road. This space would be used for special events such as.
concerts in the park, fireworks displays, art exhibits, etc. A nautically themed children's
playground, water play area, washroom building, and concession stand are also
proposed for this portion of the 'park. Open green spaces would be provided for
picnicking or informal play. The Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail would passlhrough this
. section of the park. .
Initially when the Secondary Plan for Port Darlington was being developed(1992) it was
assurned that there would be adequate room south of the existing East Beach Road for
the district park developm~nt; however, detailed development of the park plan and an
exarnination of the existing and potential road alignments have yielded a much more
usable park space, that will accommodate the anticipated activities in the park by
shifting the road to the horth.
REPORT NO.: EGD-50-o4
PAGE 5
Because the surrounding land is higher than the lake, direct access to the waters edge
IS Iirnited on the east side of the creek. Walkways and waterfront lookouts would be
constructed parallel to the lake along the top of the bank. Steps down to a waters edge
. platform would be constructed. A small beach at the west end would prov~e direct
access to the waters edge.
The architectural features throughout Port Darlington Waterfront Park, including
buildings, shelters, lights and site furniture would be designed to match the arrJiitectural
style of Victorian era Port Darlington. It was during this period that Port Darlington was
anactive summer resort.
The activity and vitality of the east portion of the park would complement the existing
residential, commercial, and marina uses just north of the park. Clarington's Official
Plan includes a Village Commercial block along the south side of the Regional Water
Treatment plant. This block could be developed with shops, artisan's siJdios and
restaurants. The village commercial buildings would also screen the v~ of the
Regional Plant from the park imd provide the opportunity to create roolop patios
overlooking the lake. .
3.4.2 West Beach Side (Attachment 3)
The proposed parkland. on the west side of the Bowmanville Creek will be much more
passive in character andwill complement the beaches and marshes that daninate the
landscape on the west side. The sand beach will be the main attraction of the west
beach portion of the park. The north edge of the west beach portion of tie park will
include nature trails along and through the marsh as well as interpretive sgnage and
. opportunities to launch non-motorized boats and canoes in the open water oflhe marsh.
A waterfront promenade and waterfront lookouts are proposed along the north edge of
the beach. Beach volleyball courts could be constructed between the beach arid marsh.
The volleyball courts could be used for informal play or programmed toumaments.
Since the washrooms and playground on the east beach side are not easily accessible
to the west beach it is proposed that a washroom building and children'splayground
also be constructed on the west beach side of the park. This area would also provide a
neighbourhood park function for residents.
The Bowmanville Creek is a barrier to pedestrians moving between the east and west
portions of the park. . The number and size of boats entering and leaving the lake at the
mouth of the creek would -make building a bridge at this location very difficult and
expensive. This master plan proposes a boardwalk that connects the west portion of
the park to the marsh trails on ClOCA's land. Pedestrians would follow the marsh trail
north and cross the creek at a proposed bridge to the Bowmanvil~ Waterfront
Recreation Area that is scheduled to be built in 2005. A bridge at this location is not
currently part of the ;1.005 project. Including a bridge in the project would create a more
direct pedestrian connection bet1Neen the east and west portion of Port Darlington
Waterfront Park and between the Bowmanville Waterfront Recreation Area and Port
Darlington Waterfront Park. Using a barge to transport people from the we5t beach to
. the east beach as was done in the early 1900's i.s also an option.

4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 The framework to create publicly accessible waterfront has been established in the
Clarington Waterfront Strategy, Clarington Official Plan and the Land Acquisition
Strategy. The financial analysis provided a timeframe for the acquisition of waterfront
lands and the financial means to acquire such lands. The acquisition of watenront land
was identified by Council as a priority, the timeframes established in tre various
strategies and studies have guided staff in their recornmendations to Counci and land
acquisitions. We are now at the point where some development of the Port Darlington
Waterfront Park is possible.
4.2 At this time it would be prudent for Council to approve in principal the Conceptual
Master Plan for Port Darlington Waterfront Park so that the first phase of development
can be carried out within a future context for further acquisitions and phases of .
development. While it is desirable to have public input prior to Council endOlsement of
a park master plan, staff is seeking Council endorsement at this time as the Masterplan
has an impact .on private property and prior to meeting with the Port Darlington
Community Association. .
4.3 The first phase of development for the district park is conceptual only and will have to
be detailed prior to construction. A cost estimate for the development of the detailed
design and construction will submitted for consideration in the 2005 Capital Budget. If
. approved, the project could be started in 2005 or 2006.

Dear Ms. Barrie:
Re: Official Plan Amendment No. 39 of the Municipality of Clarington
We represent Glen Ransom, owner of the property at 66 East Beach Road, Clarington,
which is located on the south side of east Beach Road east of Darlington Roa~ being
Lots I & 2, Block A, Plan H50073, former Town ofBowmanville.
Attached is our appeal of the Municipality's Official Plan Amendment No. 39. As you
will see, our concern with the Official Plan Amendment is that it changes the land use
strategy prior to acquisition of the affected lands by the Municipality.
I would be pleased to discuss this matter further with municipal representatives with the
expectation that this matter might be resolved on the basis that the Municipality would
agree that there should be some connection between the change in permitted land uses
and the proposed expropriation.
Yours truly,
~L.~.~~L~P

On January 17, 2005 Council passed by-law 2005-004 adopting Official Plan
Amendment No. 39 to the Clarington Official Plan. The amendment revises the Port
Darlington Neighbourhood Secondary Plan to allow for the realignment of portions of
Port Darlington Road and East Beach Road to enlarge the waterfront district park area.
The amendment also eliminates the allowance for additional commercial uses on the
south side of East Beach Road.

Section 17(36) of the Planning Act for the following reasons:

1.
Section 5 of OP A 39 deletes Section 7.4 of the Secondary Plan, thereby
eliminating the provision for additional commercial uses on the south side of
Beach Road, which includes my client's lands. Although the municipality has
indicated its intention to acquire my client's lands, it has not done so to dat~ This
change in the range of permissible land uses is therefore inappropriate prior to
acquisition of these lands by the municipality.

2.
Section 7 ofOPA 39 amends Section 8.3 of the Secondary Plan by adding: "The
municipality has developed an acquisition strategy setting out priority areas and
time frames for acquisition. Council may amend the acquisition strategy based on
the de/ailed plans for the park development." This statement indicates that the

U
acquisition strategy has not been finalized and reinforces my concern that changes
in land use should not proceed the acquisition of the relevant land by the
municipality.
3. The proposed changes are inappropriate in the event that the expropriation does
not proceed.
4. Further changes to the land use limiting the highest and best use of my client's
lands are not permissible once the expropriation process is contemplated or
commenced. Accordingly, the proposed changes, in light of the served Notice of
Application for Approval to Expropriate, are not proper.

Dear Ms. Barrie:
Re: Proposed Official Plan Amendment No. 39
Port Darlington Neighbourhood Secondary Plan
Your File COPA2004-00S
As you are aware, Aird & Berlis LLP has been retained by Mr. Andrew Wiggers, of
Wiggers Custom Yachts Limited and the Port Darlington Harbour Company (collectively,
the "Harbour Company") in respect of the proposed expropriation of approximately 5 acres
of Harbour Company lands intended to facilitate the expansion of Clarington's proposed
waterfront park system. These are the same lands which are contemplated in OPA No.
39 as comprising part of Clarington's future waterfront parklands system.
A Hearing of Necessity has been scheduled for April 7 and 8, 2005, at which time the
necessity and appropriateness of the proposed expropriation will be determined. Until
such time as the expropriation matter is determined, the scope of OPA No. 39 will remain
undefined. As such, it is premature for the municipality to proceed with OPA No. 39 at this
time.
In addition, and as we have previously outlined in our correspondence of December 10,
2004, the expansion of the parkland area and the necessitating realignment of East Beach
Road and Port Darlington Road will most certainly have a negative impact on our client's
ability to continue with their existing commercial operations. Moreover, the introduction of
incompatible land uses immediately adjacent to the Harbour Company's lands will further

challenge the continued viable operation of our client's industrial operations by

As a result of the fore90ing, and for other additional reasons previously communicated to

In support of our appeal, please find enclosed a cheque written to the Ontario Municipal

To Mayor and Councillors,
Re: Kirby United Church
On May 10, 2004, the Clarington Museums and Archives Board expressed their interest
to the Council of the Municipality of Clarington in the purchase of the Church building,
and its chattels for a sum of$l.OO subject to the raising of the funds to re-Iocate and
operate the building at the Clarke Museum site.
The Clarington Museums and Archives Board was directed to work with Municipal staff
in assessing the project and detennining its viability. Over the past year, the Museum
Administrator has been working with Municipal Staff in order to address the issues
related to the acceptance of the Kirby United Church.
The Board has met with the Director of Operations and reviewed the report prepared by
TSH Consultants on the condition of the building including the potential move of the
building. The Clarington Museums and Archives Board has prepared a fmancial plan
addressing the project costs as per estimates in the TSH report that includes potential
fundraising sources. A plan has also been prepared addressing the operational costs of
the building and revenue generation opportunities. (see attachments)
Clarington Museums and Archives has passed the following resolution for consideration
by Council;
THAT the Clarington Museums and Archives Board has reviewed the report on the
Kirby United Church from TSH and;
THAT the Board would like to incorporate the Church onto the grounds of the Clarke
Museum and;
