Don Welsh, 4280 Mearns Avenue, Bowmanville, LIC 3K5, together with Annabel Sissons, provided an update to Council on the activities of the Clarington Older Adults. Mr. Welsh stated that since the last meeting, they have enlisted the services of a lawyer to fill in the necessary forms to become incorporated and receive a charitable status number in order to issue tax receipts. Attendance at their weekly meetings has increased by at least 25% and the number of indIviduals staying for lunch has also increased. It is the older adults understanding that a report will be brought fOlward on October 27, 1997, regarding the Older Adults Activity Centre. Mr. Welsh requested that this report address the following: ... ... - . Definition of the space that will be available for the exclusive use of the older adults. ...

Valerie Dostie, 707 Waverley Road South, R.R. #2, Box 11, Group 5, Bowmanville, LlC 3IG, addressed Council with respect to the proposed closure of Waverley Road.

She stated that the blasting ~ activities have become terrifying and this matter will only worsen when the marshland is quarried. .... IIIii - - Council Minutes DELEGATIONS - iIIII - - - - .. - - - - - .. .. - - - - 3 - October 14, 1997 Bill Woods, 3296 Taunton Road, RR #2, Orono, LOB IMO, addressed Council in opposition to the Official Plan Amendment Application submitted by Mr. and Mrs. Lishman, (Staff Report PD-IlO-97). Mr. Woods indicated concern with the creek and wildlife in the area, stormwater runoff and the release of nitrates and chloride from communal and private septic systems. He requested that an in depth study be done to determine the impact of sewage load on buried aquifers in this hydrogeologically sensitive area. Mr. Woods suggested that the proposal should be located in a serviced industrial site rather than in an inappropriate, environmentally protected permanent agricultural reserve. Rhonda Hooper, RR #2, Orono, LOB IMO, addressed Council with her concerns pertaining to the Official Plan Amendment Application submitted by Mr. and Mrs. Lishman (Report PD-llO-97). She questioned why, in the agricultural impact study, her property is described as a non-farm residence. Mrs. Hooper stated that currently in the Durham Regional Official Plan the subject lands are zoned Permanent Agricultural Reserve and in the Clarington Official Plan they are zoned Prime Agricultural Area. South of Concession 7 along the Wilmot Creek is Oak Ridges Moraine and along the whole length of the Wilmot and its tributaries, the property is zoned Environmental Protection. However, along Baseline Road and Highway 401 in Bowmanville and Courtice there are large areas zoned Prestige Employment Area and Light and General Industrial Area. There is also commercial property for sale in Orono. With all of the land which is properly zoned for a proposal such as that put forward by the Lishman's, Mrs. Hooper questioned why they could not locate in a more appropriate area. She requested that Council defer all approvals on this application until an interim report can be prepared that includes specific details of the application and clarifies inconsistencies that presently exist. She also requested a public meeting be held after the report is completed so the public can be fully informed of the results and can voice any further concerns. Fran Woods, 3296 Taunton Road, RR #2, Orono, LOB IMO, was called but was not present. Dan Hooper, RR #2,3237 Concession Road 7, Orono, LOB IMO, addressed Council with respect to the Official Plan Amendment Application submitted by Mr. and Mrs. Lishman (Staff Report PD-llO-97). He indicated that the proposed "earth dome" is to be erected so close to the creek and water table that he does not see how a building permit could be issued for the project. He also has concerns with the fire code as it relates to opening windows, exit doors, sprinkler systems, fire doors and fire rated drywall for stairways to the second floor. He questioned whether the communal sewage system will be used or whether it will be a raised bed septic system and whether residents will have written guarantees that their wells will not be affected by this and future developments on the subject lands. Another concern which he voiced is the possible added cost to the taxpayer to build a new bridge to accommodate the new development. He requested that more public meetings be held in order for the residents to have more information pertaining to their concerns. Council Agenda DELEGATIONS .. - 4 - October 14, 1997 lIIIlII ... Linda Gasser, P.O. Box 399, 7421 Best Road, Orono, LOB IMO, addressed Council with respect to the Official Plan Amendment Application submitted by Mr. and Mrs. Lishman (Staff Report PD-llO-97). Mrs. Gasser is seeking clarification regarding the application documents and studies prepared by Tunney Planning and Gartner Lee respectively. She indicated that the staff report is a preliminary description of the proposed development and is of limited use as an information tool. Mrs. Gasser requested to know the exact size of the lands parcel relating to the Official Plan Amendment, severance and zoning applications and what activities will be pursued on that parcel. She also requested clarification of what activities are implied by the term "consolidation and expansion" of the business as per the Tunney Application. Also, Mrs. Gasser questioned why the municipality did not require an environmental impact study based on the property location and lack of significant features. Mrs. Gasser requested that Council defer any approvals of the Lishman applications until such time as all of the residents' concerns have been addressed and resolved. She requested that an interim report be prepared which provides site specific information, clarifies inconsistent documentation, incorporates the responses of commenting agencies and addresses the concerns raised to date. She also requested that a public meeting be held following preparation of the interim report so that residents can comment on specific aspects of these applications. IIlIi ... ... lIIIlII lIIIlII filii Mavis Carlton, R.R. #2, Box 14, Group 2, Bowmanville, LIC 3K3, addressed Council with respect to Report ADMIN-47-97 (listed as Report #3 on the Council Agenda). Mrs. Carlton stated that, as the report has not been forthcoming, she assumes that the negotiations between the municipality and Blue Circle Inc., are at loose ends. ... Brenton Rickard, 507 Mill Street South, Newcastle, LIB 1C2, addressed Council on behalf of the Newcastle Ratepayers Association with respect to Report PD-140-97. Mr. Rickard indicated that the Ratepayers Association is still concerned with the questions which were raised at the General Purpose and Administration Committee meeting of October 6, 1997, pertaining to the CNR Underpass as proposed in Plan B for the subject development. He stated that construction of this underpass will create an unsafe situation and requested that Council reconsider their decision and insist on a new, safe Plan A for access to the development. - - ... Patsy Scott, 514 Mill Street South, Newcastle, LIB lC2, addressed Council with respect to Report PD-140-97. After having studied the report and the supporting conditions of draft approval and zoning by-law amendment, Mrs. Scott requested the following: - ... Conditions #5, #12 and #18 of the Conditions of Draft Approval be amended to include those properties and access routes affected by this development and not just the immediate surrounding areas. ... That the by-law be changed to allow for a hotel consisting of no more than 25 rooms; not dependent upon what the developer intends to do with the property, but what the community wants. .. That Council reconsider the decision to accept Alternative B for access to the development. .. ... - - Council Agenda DELEGATIONS - - - - - .. .. .. .. .. .. .. - .. - - - - 5 - October 14, 1997 Robin Ibbotson-Rickard attended as a delegation with respect to Report PD-140-97, in the absence of Jacqueline Lake. Ms. Ibbotson-Rickard voiced her concerns with the bridge on Mill Street and questioned how the bus companies have viewed this decision. She also stated that conflicting comments between the developer and municipal staff have been made with respect to the Clarke Street cul-de-sac. Jack Eilbeck, 626 Mill Street South, Newcastle, LIB lCl, addressed Council with respect to Report PD-140-97. He reiterated his concerns regarding the operation of the Port of Newcastle Marina and future availability of the Graham Creek valley lands to the public and citizens of Clarington. On at least two occasions, fishermen have been banned from fishing on that area of Graham Creek running south of Hunters Bridge. On one occasion the fisherman was fishing from the bank and the second incident occurred while an individual was fishing from an un-anchored canoe. This latter banning is in direct contravention of the Navigable Streams legislation. Mr. Eilbeck indicated that in the summer of 1997, a large marquee tent and a portable toilet facility was added to the lakefront marina development. As a result, the Bondhead area and marine tenants were serenaded with disk jockey rock and roll at a volume which brought complaints from as far away as Metcalf and Mill Streets for four consecutive Saturday nights despite telephone calls to the local police. Mr. Eilbeck voiced his concerns that the past experiences and the proposed approval of Phase II of the development does not bode well for the future of the "jewel of Clarington." Larry Johnson, addressed Council with respect to Report PD-l40-97 on behalf of Noel Gordon. Mr. Johnson questioned why a hotel of 250 rooms is being proposed for this site when the Plying Dutchman Hotel in Bowmanville and the Holiday Inn in Oshawa combined do not contain that number of rooms. He questioned who will stay in these rooms. He also questioned why a hotel is being proposed in this location when the report states a concern from the Fire Department regarding the level of development in this area and ambivalence from the Public Works Department concerning the best possible access to the whole development. Mr. Johnson also questioned why a hotel is being proposed at this time, within just two years of taking ownership of the property and within just one year of receiving draft approval for Phase I. Linda MacGregor, 40 Boulton Street, Newcastle, LIB lL9, addressed Council on behalf of the Bondhead Community Association with respect to Report PD-140-97. She requested that the Members of Council reconsider and vote in favour of Alterative A (the widening of the Mill Street/CNR Underpass). She stated that the facts and the impact regarding Alternative B have become clearer with the application for Phase II of the Kaitlin Development. As a result of this, the Association feels that Alternative A is the acceptable solution and Mrs. MacGregor submitted an 18 page petition in support of Alternative A. Erskine Duncan, 27 Boulton Street, Newcastle, LIB lL9, addressed Council with respect to Report PD-140-97. Mr. Duncan stated the following five reasons why no residential development should have been allowed on the south side of Coastal Road in the Port of Newcastle development when the Kaitlin requested in the spring of 1996: Council Agenda DELEGATIONS .. - 6 - October 14, 1997 .. · The Clarington Official Plan which was given final approval January 1996 disallowed it. .. . Clarington Planning Department advised Council to turn the request _ down. .. . The Clarington Waterfront Study clearly excluded development in the waterfront greenway. .. . The Waterfront Greenway Regeneration Trust wrote Clarington on May 10, 1996 advising that they were in full accord with the Clarington Official Plan and endorsed Staffs report advising Council to turn down the request. .. liliiii · The residents strongly backed Staffs report. Mr. Duncan also requested: wi · Council reconsider Alternative B and approve Alternative A. . Deny approval of the placement of Block 160 residential complex in front of the Coastal Road. .. . Rescind Amendment 161 to the Clarington Official Plan so as to prevent any further attempt to intrude into the waterfront greenway by this development or develop any future waterfront land in Clarington. .. . Deny approval of a hoteVmotel of up to 250 units. .. . That building requirements written into the Official Plan be adhered to as mlmmums. .. . That approval of Phase II of the Port of Newcastle development be denied until all concerns are resolved. wi Ron Webb, c/o of the Kaitlin Group, 1029 McNicoll Avenue, Scarborough, Ml W 3W6, addressed Council on behalf of Bill Daniell with respect to Report PD-140-97. Mr. Webb requested that Council adopt the recommendations contained in the report as the proposal conforms with the Municipality's Official Plan. In considering approval of Phase I, the Mill Street Underpass was thoroughly considered and his client relied upon the decision to give draft plan approval and, therefore, contracts for servicing of the development have already been awarded. No new engineering facts have come forward to justify reconsideration of Alternative A over Alternative B and, therefore, Mr. Webb requested Council not revisit this decision.

Sixty years later, FCM's mandate and capacity continue to grow. In this time of political and economic uncertainty - and federal and provincial offloading - FCM must remain surefooted and farsighted. Municipalities are the core and the matrix of Canadian public life. The challenges continue to mount, but FCM has never been stronger. Today, FCM's member municipalities represent 75% of Canada's population. This gives us much weight in Ottawa. As the role of municipal governmenUs redefined, FCM is well positioned to ensure that municipal interests are at the forefront of the federal decision-making process.

Countless surveys and opinion poll results make it clear that the citizens of Toronto and indeed, Canada, desire a cleaner, greener environment. Leadership and commitment is required for this task. In the face of changes expected in 1998, it will be important to have targets and guidelines with which. to approach environmental issues in the new City of Toronto. As municipal government moves into the next stage, the recommendations in this report will be an example of what a City can do not only to clean the air but to continue as a livable and healthy dty. This report. "Catching Our Breath: Partnerships for Clean Air" recommends specific targets to reduce smog across the city and provides a Blueprint of actions required to achieve those targets. The Blueprint is essentially . a checklist of policies and initiatives which would be required to move Toronto clearly in a smog-free direction. As smog has many sources it requires wide-ranging solutions. Based on the expertise and experience of the Anti- Smog Working Group, the Blueprint recommends such necessary wide-ranging initiatives in four key areas: Smog Alert Response; Smog Prevention (in the areas of transportation, energy, greening, industriaVcommercial source reduction, and research and monitoring); Communication and Education; and Commitment. Actions have been recommended based on proven successes or on recent studies. For implementation, some of them would require a by-law and/or municipal regulation, some would require city council to press for legislation or regulation from other levels of government, and some would require both formal and informal partnerships with community groups, major employers, businesses and individuals as well as with relevant international agencies and commissions. Not all of the recommended actions may be feasible immediately in Toronto, and as such it will be necessary for an implementation team to evaluate the feasibility and timing for each action listed as part of a schedule of implementation. This process would involve further evaluation of costs, timing, feasibility, mechanisms for application (by-law, legislation, request to another level of government or institution, active partnership) and further identification of implementation partners and available resources specific to each action. For implementation to begin in time for the summer smog season of 1998, the process will require that participation in the Anti-Smog Working Group expand to all fonner municipalities in Metropolitan Toronto. The current City of Toronto had already begun work in this regardby convening an all-municipalities meeting on Anti-Smog action as a step towards a wider partnership for action. Background: This report is in response to two specific requests. In August of 1996, the Board of Management requested that the Healthy City Office facilitate the development of the Corporate and Municipal Anti-Smog strategies for the City of Toronto. In September of 1996, in addition to adopting the Idling Control By-Law for the City of Toronto, City Council adopted recommendations of the Board of Health that an Anti-Smog Working Group be established to develop strategies to reduce smog in Toronto. The overall strategy draws on a number of earlier initiatives undertaken by the City related to air quality issues: 1991: The Healthy City Office released its report "Evaluating the Role of the Automobile: A Municipal Strategy", which contains 74 recommendations for the City on ways to reduce vehicle emissions and car trips in the City of Toronto. A status report called "Actions with Respect to Vehicle Emissions" was prepared in August 1996. 1992: The Administrativ~ Advisory Committee and the Healthy City Office surveyed employees in the Corporation with respect to their commuting patterns and attitudes towards transportation modal shift. , .~ ... 4 1997 City of Toronto Executive Committee Report No. 21, Clause 29 ... 1993: The Department of Public Health released its report "Outdoor Air Quality in Toronto: Issues and Concerns". The report surveyed major sources and levels of pollutants in Toronto's air, examined the impact of vehicle emissions on air quality at select locations and discussed the health impacts of outdoor air pollutants. This report and its recommendations were adopted by City Council. In July 1996, the Department of Public Health prepared a report "Outdoor Air Quality in Toronto and Respiratory Health" which reviewed recently published reports on health issues associated with poor air quality. ... IIIiII June, 1996: Metro hosted a Municipal Clean Air Summit for mayors in the GT A. The report of the Blue Ribbon Committee. which included representation from the Healthy City Office and ICLEI (International Council on Local Environmental Initiatives) was released at that time. The report made recommendations to improve air quality in the GT A. On August 12, 1996, City Council endorsed the recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Committee. ... .. The Challenge ... The negative health and economic impacts of poor air quality have been well documented in the Blue Ribbon Report. The health effects of poor air quality include increased asthma attacks - especially for children and the elderly, exacerbated symptoms for those living with lung and heart disease, cancer, and premature death (Blue Ribbon Report, 1996). Respiratory diseases are the fourth leading cause of death in men, and fifth leading cause of death in womenl. Deaths related to heart disease rank first for men and women of all ages (City of Toronto, Department of Public Health, 1995). .. .. But even beyond health costs, bad air damages plants, crops, buildings and other materials. In Ontario, crop damage from high ozone levels is estimated to be as high as $70 million annually (Blue Ribbon Report, 1996). .. Deteriorating air quality also threatens Toronto's tourism industry, and business in general. According to Blackstone Corporation in the Green Tourism Partnership feasibility study "Toronto is the largest gateway to Canada and therefore its global image as a clean and environmentally sensitive destination will become increasingly important to Canada' s positive image, particularly as many other competing cities and destinations become increasingly brown." Twenty seven million people visit Toronto annually. .. .. What is Smog? ... Smog is a distinct form of poor air quality. It occurs on warm summer days when a combination of toxic gases and fine particles forms through a series of-chemical reactions triggered by sunlight and heat. Each summer, Toronto experiences a number of "smog episodes" or "smog days" on which air quality falls well below acceptable health standards1. .. Combatting smog is a challenge because it has many sources, ranging from motor vehicles and other modes of trans portation, to industries and utilities, to solvent use, to surface coating, to backyard barbecues. Transportation is the largest local source. .. ... ... IRespirat~. diseases are the third highest cause of hospital discharge for all ages and second highest cause of hospital discharge for children age 0-9. Diseases of the circulatory system rank first as the cause of hospital discharge for all ages (City of Toronto Department of Public Heahh. Health Status Report.. I Q94), .. ~"I, 'J ~A recently plblished Health Canada study showed that Ontario hospital admissions due to re.spiratory illness ,increased by 6%overaIl. 15% in children. during the summer months when ozone and sulphate levels are elevated (Burnett, 1995). .. - - 5 1997 City of Toronto Executive Committee Report No. 21. Clause 29 - It is also challenging because poor air quality does not respect political or geographical boundaries. In certain weather conditions. up to 50% of our smog blows in over the border from the U.S. - Faced with these challenges, what can a local municipality do to prevent and reduce this costly threat to our lives and our city? - The City as a Leader Among MU,!licipalities - Through its existing proactive programs and policies, the City is already a lead player in its action on environmental issues, and is therefore in a unique position to initiate further, and more comprehensive action on smog. We have adopted a Corporate strategy to reduce smog emissions produced by the City of Toronto and to be a role model for other municipalities worldwide. We have a world class transit system and have been named the best city for cycling. Nevertheless, we can do more; air quality is still a growing concern. - - This report is the next step from the Corporate Plan adopted by City Council in July. It presents an opportunity once again for Toronto to playa leading role. In the face of changes expected in 1998, it will be important to have guidelines with which to approach environmental issues in the new City of Toronto. A Blueprint for action provides guidelines with which to implement a comprehensive anti-smog strategy. Based on the expertise and research conducted by the Anti-Smog Working Group, it highlights an action agenda of initiatives to significantly reduce smog levels in Toronto. - - The overall report, including the recommendations and the blueprint, has been based on the following principles for improving our already solid foundation: - focuses on action and concrete outcomes; favours pollution prevention over remediation; builds on the wealth of already existing positive initiatives undertaken by the City and other organizations; values' partnerships for action in addressing the many sources of smog and in applying the many necessary solutions to smog; recommends specifics where possible, and further analysis and follow-up where necessary; identifies targets which assist in monitoring the progress of the strategy; and takes into account the changing city structure by providing a blueprint for action within the new municipal structure. - - - Targets to Reduce Smog - Targets are important because they spur action. In 1988, the City of Toronto committed to a target to reduce global warming. Since the adoption of that target, a strategy and funds to achieve it have been dedicated. and significant initiatives have begun to reduce our contribution to a global problem. City Council, however, has yet to commit to a target which seeks improvements in local air quality. - - 'This report recommends the adoption of three targets, two emission reduction targets and one overall air quality target. If a real commitment is to be made to reduce smog in Toronto, we cannot just recommenl:i initiatives. We have to set our sights on a tangible improvement, monitor our progress towards the achievement of a target, and dedicate the resources necessary to meet the new challenges and new solutions required to achieve it. - The report recommends a more am~itious schedule for the adoption of th~ emission reduction targets in Ontario's Smog Management Plan. The air quality target does not call for the full elimination of smog episode days in order to provide flexibilfty around climate variations. -me expandecl Anti-Smog Working Group will develop - 6 1997 City of Toronto Executive Committee Report No. 21. Clause 29 the specific mix of actions required to achieve the targets, and develop new targets, such as for particulates. as they emerge as a result of research or implementation planning. Implementation Because of the multifaceted nature of the air quality problem, finding and implementing the appropriate solutions requires a broad range of expertise. The Anti-Smog Working Group has representation not only from all relevant city departments, but also from a range of environmental, transportation, energy, scientific, academic, corporate, and community interests. However, in the new City of Toronto, implementation of a comprehensive anti-smog plan will require the participation of staff from all relevant sections and departments. For implementation to take place in time for the summer smog season of 1998, the process will require an initial . budget to be approved by City Council. This budget would provide the human and financial resources necessary for securing the partnerships and additional funds required to carry out the plan3 (see list of revenue sources in "commitment" section of Blueprint). The Healthy City Office will propose this initial implementation budget as part of its six month report back. The Blueprint The Anti-Smog Blueprint presents a checklist of actions and policies that will reduce smog significantly, most effectively if applied together. Smog is a complex problem which touches upon many major environmental areas: transportation, energy, greening, and industrial and commercial sources are the major themes. However. there are many solutions, often relating to two or more of these major areas, and in most cases involving diverse partnerships for action. The challenge is to co-ordinate for the greatest, most immediate effect with the most efficient use of resources. The Anti-Smog Working Group identified a number of stages necessary for the development and implementation of the Blueprint: Identify major areas related to smog production and smog reduction. Identify key approaches to taking action. Compile an inventory of key initiatives for each approach (a Blueprint). Secure additional partnerships and resources for action. Take Action. I. Major Smog Areas: Transportation, Energy, Greening, and Industrial Commercial Sources The Anti-Smog Working Group identified four major areas related to smog, in order to organize action and to assure that the largest and most effective solutions would be applied first. Motorized transportation is the greatest local source of smog. Industry from south of the border is the largest source of imported smog. Up to 50% of our smog comes from the United States. (On the other hand, we also send our smog south). Energy use is a major producer of smog both locally and internationally. Finally, because pesticides and solvents also contribute significantly to smog production, the group identified a founh category: "greening" which includes toxic practices and greener systems required to address them. 11 should be DOled Ihat aside from overall economic benefits of reducing smog. many of the specific actions identified in the Blueprint are revenue geoaating or revenue-neutral. Initial commitment and investment will be necessary from all panners to establish Ihe systems that allow for payback. reveOlue generation. other forms of financial equalization and user pay. and overall economic benefiL The City is in the positiolll to co-ordinate and catalyze this initial investment. ; .. .. .. ... .. .. ... ... ... ... ... ..

'I .. - 7 1997 City of Toronto Executive Committee Report No. 21, Clause 29 l' .., Key Approaches: Response, Prevention, Communication, and Commitment - The most immediate need is to create a response to Smog Alert Days, by curtailing certain activities that exacerbate the effects of smog, and by providing for people who are especially vulnerable on those days. 1M 1M But reacting is not enough. Prevention is essential. This requires working on an ongoing basis in the four major areas related to smog reduction, applying practical solutions based on the latest research and experience, and, if necessary carrying out necessary research to support those solutions. - No anti-smog partner can contribute usefully without access to essential information and effective communication and education. In order to carry out both the response and prevention plans. a comprehensive communications strategy is required. - Finally, action cannot happen without commitment by all partners. The City must commit to playing a leadership role in co-ordinating anti-smog efforts among partners. All partners, including the City, must commit political, financial, and human resources to the effort, if we are to expect improvement in air quality. - 3. The Blueprint: An Inventory of Key Actions 1M .. The Blueprint brings together a range of recommended actions based on research and practical experience from Toronto and around the world. Policies, systems, programs, individual actions, and financial mechanisms that have proven to reduce smog were reviewed. Each action could be effective on its own, but the greatest effect of the blueprint wiJI come about if all or many of the actions are implemented as a whole. This will require a comprehensive implementation strategy that includes partners, resources, and an evaluation and monitoring process. - - The Blueprint should serve as a guide for the development of a specific implementation plan, budget and evaluation framework. For implementation, some of the actions would require a by-law and/or municipal regulation, some would require city council to press for legislation or regulation from other levels of government, and some would require both formal and informal partnerships with community groups, major employers, businesses and individuals as well as with relevant international agencies and. commissions. .. - The implementation of each action and of the plan asa whole involves further evaluation of costs, timing, feasibility, mechanisms for application (by-law, legislation, request to another level of government or institution, active partnership) and further identification of partners and available resources specific to each action. .. Next Steps: Partnerships, Resources, Commitment, and Action - With the attached Blueprint, a number of partnerships already established, and a range of sources of human and financial resources identified, the new Corporation is ideally placed to secure the additional partnerships and resources required to implement an effective, comprehensive anti-smog action plan, and to become a municipal leader in cleaner air and livable, workable communities. - - Appendix I - " ... 8 1997 City of Toronto Executive Committee Report No. 21, Clause 29 ..

Appendix 4 GLOSSAR Y Air Quality Index (AQI) - a provincial information system operating since 1988 through which the public can access air quality information on 34 sites in 27 major cities across Canada. Six major pollutants are measured: carbon monoxide; nitrogen dioxide,; sulphur dioxide; suspended particles; total reduced sulphur; and ozone. Alternative Fuels - include: electricity, natural gas, methanol, propane; the reformulated low-volatility gasoline required by law in a number of U.S. regions; fuel cells (liquid hydrogen and oxygen) that only emit water. Ambient Air Quality Objectives - federal guidelines (not standards) for air pollutants. They currently exist for five pollutants: sulphur dioxide, o~one, suspended particulates, carbon qioxide and nitrogen dioxide. ~j ... 18 1997 City of Toronto Executive Committee Report No.2!, Clause 29 to ... Ashbridge's Bay Sewage Plant - the main Toronto sewage sludge incinerator; it emits annually to the air large , quantities of pollutants. including nitrogen oxides, particulates. over I kg of dioxin, 2 kg of furans and the toxic metals lead (approximately 310 kg), mercury (approximately 230 kg), chromium (approximately 210 kg), and cadmium (approximately 100 kg). ... lIIIIIi Better Buildings Partnership - provides energy and water retrofits of both private and public sector industrial, commercial and institutional buildings in the City of Toronto; it is administered by the Energy Efficiency Office of the City Works Department. ... Bicycle Cit~. 2000 - a report adopted by City Council as a blueprint for increasing and improving bicycle transportation. recommending specific actions and outlining general aims in the areas of physical infrastructure, ~ocial infrastructure, and economic infrastructure. Available from the Toronto City Cycling Committee (392~. 7592). lIIIIIi lIIIIIi "Cash for Clunkers" program - a program in which residents are paid cash for old cars, which then are recycled, ideally. The rationale is that old cars usually are high polluters, because of age as well as having been built when requirements for pollution controls were non-existent or less stringent than they are now. IIIIIl Catalytic COn\'erter - pollution control device used in automobiles that chemically changes noxious gases (carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons) to harmless, nonpolluting products (carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water vapour). Use began around 1974. - Certificate of Approval- provincial government authorization to operate a commercial or industrial enterprise: prior public hearings are not required. ... Cosmetic Use of Pesticides - pesticide use solely to achieve particular aesthetic goals, e.g., a lush. completely grass lawn without so-called less-desirable species.

Energy Efficiency Labelling Program - a.proposed program to be administered by the City of Toronto's Energy Efficiency Office, in which the energy efficien'cy of residential properties would be assessed and used as a guide to target areas of the home that need improvement. Can also be used as an information source for prospective buyers. ... ... Fossil Fuel- the hydrocarbon fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas - energy sources derived from decayed plants and animals that died millions of years ago. These sources are finite and their use for the generation of electricity creates pollution. ... Green Fleets - a program for businesses, institutions and industries that commits them to at least a 40% reduction in energy use and emissions by the year 2005. This can be done through such actions as replacing older vehicles with low-emission vehicles, use of alternative fuels, employee trip reduction, efficient trip planning, driver efficiency training and so on. III lIlIii Green Fleets Partnership is a Toronto Atmospheric Fund in conjunction with ICLEI program that brings together businesses. municipalities and institutions to jointly buy less polluting alternative vehicles and fuels. ..

Clause 29 f .. - Green$aver - a non-profit, community-based organization initiated by the Urban Environment Centre. Its goals are to safeguard the environment by promoting practical household conservation actions, contribute to the local economy by developing new "green" business opportunities and work in partnership with others, including utilities. businesses. community organizations and governments. - - Through its Home Visit Service, free to City of Toronto residents, Greensaver has assessed over 3,000 homes for potential energy and water savings. A new diagnostic service available this fall will test for air leakage in the house and offer insulation and draftproofing improvements where needed. Other programs include the Downspout Disconnection Inspection and a pilot for lQw-flush toilets, Go Low Toilet Replacement. - Hwnan-powered Transport - methods of transportation that rely on human energy, such as walking, cycling . and blading. - ICLEI - The International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives An international environmental agency that is an association of local governments dedicated to preventing and solving local, regional and global environmental problems through local action. - Idling Control B)'law - a City of Toronto by-law, passed in September 1996, that prohibits unnecessary idling of motor vehicles. - Incineration - a process of burning wastes (biomedical, sewage sludge, etc.), which releases toxins into the air. - I & M Program - Inspection and Maintenance: programs which, for a minor cost (usually $15-30) test vehicle emissions and inform O\\11ers of repairs needed. Most programs make it mandatory to have annual inspections, repairs if needed and retesting. They are currently operating in most U.S. states and in Vancouver, and just approved for the GT A and Hamilton, with later phase in of 12 other Ontario cities and surrounding areas planned. - .. International Joint Commission - U.S.lCanadian joint regulatory commission that sets and pursues pollution reduction goals within the Great Lakes basin. - Lakeview Generating Station - coal burning generating station currently used for extra summer needs of air conditioning; Ontario Hydro intends to use it regularly and at an increased level now that a number of nucle_~ reactors are out of service. - Lhing Machine Technology - new technologies which house a variety of living organisms for various purposes. They can be designed and built to grow food, heat and cool buildings, treat sewage, sludge, septage and boat v,-astes. etc. John Todd, of Ocean Arks International, (who creates living machines) says that "they represent, in essence, the intelligence of the forest or the lake, reapplied to human ends". Among the best know~ examples in the city are the Body Shop's "Living Machine" and the Canada Life Assurance "Breathing Wall". ... l\lixed Mode - a combination of two or more transportation modes, e.g., cycling to transit facilities. - - Mixed-use Zoning - zoning which allows for a variety of uses. Efficient use of space puts housing, businesses, services and recreational facilities in the same neighbourhood. This greatly reduces energy use and also air pollution because people can walk, cycle or blade instead of driving to far-flung destinations. - NOx - nitrogen oxides are formed by human activities that involve high temperature combustion. Gasoline-powered vehicles are a main source in the Toronto area; the rest is created by fuel combustion in power plants. housing and commerciaVindustrial firms. - !' .. 20 1997 City of Toronto Executive Committee Report No.2!. Clause 29 l\ ... Ozone - There are two fonns of ozone: Stratospheric ozone - in the upper atmosphere. (20-50 km above the Earth's surface) ozone is a naturally created fonn of oxygen necessary to protect the Earth from ultraviolet solar radiation. ... Ground level (tropospheric) ozone - in the lower atmosphere, ozone is fonned as a pollutant by a combination of hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and sunlight. Even low levels of ozone exposure affect the human body. 5- 20% of people are extra-sensitiv~ to ozone. After a smog day, between 11-15% of hospital admissions are ozone-related. Ozone sensitizes us to allergens in the air and to infections and may lead to premature death, or to sudden death, especially the day after high ozone concentrations. ... .. Particulates - also referred to as: suspended particulates; particles, air-borne particles. Small (10 microns) to .microscopic (2.5 microns or less) solid-fonn pollutants, e.g., soot and dust that carry other toxins, such as. benzene and dioxins. .. .. Sources: vehicle emissions. coal burning industries and residential heating, such as wood burning. Diesel is a major source of particles. .. The smallest particles, those less than 2.5 microns, can be inhaled deep into the lungs, and stay for years, causing health problems such as coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath; repeated bronchitis; acute heart and lung problems. Children are particularly at risk because, dependent on age, their air intake is 3-1 Ox that of adults. ... Perc - short tenn for perchloroethylene, also known as PCE or tetrachloroethylene - an industrial solvent that is the main cleaning chemical used in dry-cleaning establishments. Both drycleaning workers and those whose work or residence is near a drycleaning business can be affected. Exposure to perc can cause depression of the central nervous system., liver damage and skin irritation. It is a possible carcinogen and a definite trigger of symptoms for the chemically sensitive. .. ... Point Source Emitter - an industrial or commercial source of pollutant emissions. Renewable Energy - sources which do not become depleted nor create environmental damage in the process of energy production, e.g., solar power, wind power, geothennal power, biomass. .. Retrofit: replace, renovate and rehabilitate components of a building (mechanical, electrical, etc.) To increase its energy and water efficiency. .... Smog is a mixture of ground-level ozone and particles with sunlight and heat, usually at its worst on hot days with bright sun, no breeze and high levels of nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds. It is damaging to the human respiratory system, also to sensitive plants and animals. The loss from smog damage to Ontario-grown crops alone is as much as $70 million per year.

Clause 29 Traffic Calming - Physical changes to roadways and corridors that affect driver perception, causing slower driving and making it safer to use the streets as public places (such as narrowing or raising roads). Two-stroke engine - the most common internal combustion engine used in garden equipment such as lawnmowers, leaf blowers, hedge clippers and chainsaws: it produces high levels of emissions. Urban Heat Island Effect - A tenn indicating that cities are much hotter than surrounding areas - up to 10 degrees (p.) hotter or more. Reasons-include the large surfaces that are covered by dark, heat-absorptive material, such as asphalt, which reflects almost no heat at all and the relative absence of trees and vegetation, compared with the countryside. Plants use large amounts of solar energy in evaporation: without them, that solar energy just sits there and heats city surfaces. The hotter a city gets, .the more polluted it becomes. For each degree of temperature increase, power use from air conditioning rises by 1-2%:. For each 5 degree (F.) increase in temperature, polluted days may increase by' as much as lOCk. Reducing the temperature of the city reduces energy use, which reduces smog. The easiest and cheapest way to do this is to cover built surfaces with light colours and to shade those surfaces with trees and other vegetation. VOCs - Volatile Organic Compounds are chemicals such as benzene, xylene and toluene that vapourize at room temperature and under pressure. Sources: evaporation of gasoline, oil-based paints and cleaning solvents, resurfacing of roads, pesticides. In the Toronto area. industry (such as petroleum refining and chemical processing) and motor vehicles account for most emissions. Gas pump fill-ups result in large losses of benzene into the air. Benzene exposure is clearly associated with a fonn of leukemia called aplastic anemia. Wild Reed Beds - this green technology uses beds of wild reeds to convert sewage or chemical effluent into clean. drinkable water.

I am very pleased to announce that the ministry's 1997 operating grant to your library is $72,154. When ministry staff have received your Annual Survey, a cheque for the full amount of your grant will be forwarded. As always, the grant is conditional on adherence to the Public Libraries Act; R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 44. .. We will announce pay equity payments to qualified libraries in a separate comm~nication. .. As we implement the new partnership for library service developed through the Who Does What initiative, municipalities will assume full responsibility for funding local library service beginning January 1, 1998. Beginning in 1998, subject to passage of Bill 109, the Local Control of Public Libraries Act, the provincial government will no longer provide operating funding to public libraries or for contracting municipalities. Instead, the government's investment will be directed to strengthening the province-wide library system so that all local libraries can provide a higher level of service to their communities. .. .. ...

(? pys. . 1-19 .. - OCT Z rOlH~t1nKH tJfl Proposed Water Pollution Control Plant October 15, 1997 A Water Pollution Control Plant. ifbuilt. should be located within industrial land. - - A. Poor current and past planning is the reason why the building of a new Water Pollution Control Plant is going to be a financial burden to the public and to governments. Also, our previous comments were not considered at all. Regional g(}vernment decided for us that the new WPCP has to built in Co urtice. The Duffin Creek Water Pollution -Control Plant's capacity is 747,942 cubic meters and the Region's ultimate capacity requirement to serve Pickering and Ajax is only 167,674 cubic meters as stated on page 8 in the information package. The existing surplus of I06,330m3/day would be able to accommodate excess sewage flow from the Harmony Creek Water Pollution Control Plant. Why then is there a need to build an addidonal plant? - - When the Duffin Creek sewage treatment facility was built. it was to have capacity sufficient to process the waste of the York and Durham Regions well into the 21st centwy. The potential capacity of this site is 747,942 m3/day. Even the capacity already in place has a reserve of 106,330 m3/day. The explanation given by the Durham Region (info package) why this capacity can't be used and instead a new plant has to be built is that "the Re1!ion of Durham must advance the timint! of the next expansion if wastewater flows were diverted from the Hanuonv Creek plant". What about this plant timint! not bemt! in the Official Plan at all? - - - What problem does the Region have with this advance if it is going to spend an enormous amount of money on a new plant not even considered in this expansion at all? Is it better to spend $155 million on a new plant now, intruding into agricultural zones, which will not have sufficient capacity to service Whitby at the Corbett sewage treatment plant. and yet still have excessive capacity at the Duffm Creek plant? What about additional environmental damage caused by new infrastructure? Is the push by developers in Courtice so strong that the Region can't resist? Either the Region's planners can't plan or they bend as pressure is applied? What about residents and their taxes? It makes no sense to have one planned and existing facility and build another one justified only by the timing of plan which supposed to be flexible. After all, any official plan can be changed every five years according to the situation. The Region should have a plan ready and infrastructure lines designated before hodge-podge development is allowed to take over. The Region has the responsibility for the water/sewage works. The Regional Official Plan does not require an amendment to add facilities as required but the information package on the Courtice plant says that population growth nwnbers are not to be changed as if they were cast in stone? .. - - .. According to the Official Plan: "The expansion of capital works within urban areas should not place a fmancial burden on the Region." Yet the Region claims there is no money for contributing to the watershed study for Farewell and Black Creeks but at the same time would agree to spend $150 million plus on this project to support development in this particular area? - - The pro~;ncial government decided (OMB agreement and Special Study Section in DROP) that the watershed study will form the basis of future land use decisions. There is no money for this study, therefore no further expansion should be allowed until such study is completed and the money for unneeded infrastructure now should not be allowed according to the Provincial Policy Statement (1.1.2 b)-2. According to Don Wright (CLOCA Watershed Planning for Courtice north), pg. 4, Section 2, 2.2: "Potential land use conflicts .between development opportunities and watershed's ecological toleranttlresilience must be resolved, in order to conclude appropriate land use designations in the Regional and Local Municipal Plans, particularly for the north Courtice area." .. - - B. The information package is intentionally overlooking Corbett Waste Treatment plant's future needs and associated costs. Corbett Catchment will have'to be diverted to either the existing Duffin Creek Plant or the new Courtice Plant. Infrastructure required by the Corbett Plant when pumping to Duffin Creek could be built such that it would also accommodate flow from the Harmony catchment area. This would reduce the cost of the Harmony transfer since part of its expenditure would be covered by the Corbett plant. The overall regional cost may be the same and yet use the existing site instead of a new site. The major impact of such option would help to slow down urban sprawl into "PERMANENT AGRICULTURAL LAND" areas. After all, as per the OHAP agreement from 1977, Section 76-5-33 - Expansion of Corbett Creek Water Pollution Control Plant - money was allocated to accommodate Courtice growth. How was this money spent? (Corbett plant and Courtice have never been associated in any way. Corbett Creek is located in Whitby. Courtice was and is served only by the Hannony Creek WPCP. [n any case, the preferred alternative for Courtice should be: t. Reduce Sewage Flows through Inf1ltration/lnflow Reductions and/or Water Conservation Methods 2. Limit the population growth and then concentrate on the promotion of industrial/commercial growth which is almost non-existent in Courtice. Because of our low industrial/commereial tax base, especially in Courtice, residents are paying for this poor planning by our high taxes. Until now, only residential growth took priority even though according to the OHAP agreements it should keep up the pace with commercial/industrial growth. Without serviced lots in Courtice south, we are not going to attract business here. But spending $130-150 million on a new Water Pollution Control Plant now would not be fair to the existing residents. 3. We need plans that would serve the existing population first and then make plans for future expansion (population and additional infrustructure). Courtice has limited services now. We don't have public transportation, we are served by the part-time Fire Department staff, our existing roads are crumbling away. police presence is almost non-existent, etc. We should concentrate on improving of quality of life first. 4. The EA should include the entire project and not just the plant itself We should know exactly the location and cost of the entire extention of trunk sewers from OshawalWhitby. Planning of the plant itself would be exactly the same piecemeal approach as has been done until now by our governments dealing with residential development and infrastructure. Some roads were built and rebuilt again and again because of water Is ewe rig as extensions and other projects. TIlls meaningless spending should stop. 5. We have to know how this plant and the extension of water sewers would affect our waterfront (Darlington Park and its valuable tourist industry). how it would affect the already damaged FarewelllBlack Creek watershed and Courtice altogether. how it would affect the Tooley Creek watershed with its rural setting, how it would affect DGNS and its water quality intake (150 m3= 150, OOOUs) and how it would affect all of Cia ring ton. 6. Having two Public Information Centres take place in Oshawa is unacceptable to Clarington residents who are going to be affected most. 7. This project was on the agenda of a City of Oshawa Council meeting but not even discussed by Clarington Councilor at least we were not notified of such an important move as the proposed building of a Water Pollution Control Plant in Courtice. The need to build a WPCP for attracting business to Courtice now is the poor excuse being used for all the additional planned residential development in Courtice south and especially in Courtice north. (The docwnemation on why the residential growth in Courtice North should continue in a slower and more careful way and OHAP agreementslcommerciallblisiness in relation to the WPCP was included in our last year's comments). .. ... .. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .. ... .. ... .. .. ... .. .. - - Enclosure: Watershed Planning.

"Our goal is to continue to protect the people who live in social housing, while making the system simpler, mo~ accountable and more cost effective," said Leach. "We want to cut waste, not services, and the recommendations contained in the report are consistent with that. We look forward to moving ahead with the detailed changes that will make an improved social housing system a reality for Ontario," Leach said tenants, housing providers, municipalities and the province have agreed for years on the need for reform to social housing. Leach also acted on the Advisory Council's recommendation that several new committees be created to work out the details of the refoons to social housing. He will appoint a new Social Housing Committee and three working groups, which will include representatives of municipalities and social housing providers. One working group will look at how social housing will be paid for, how standards will be measured and how rents will be set. These issues are crucial to a sustainable, cost- effective social housing system. A second working group will attempt to clarify the roles and responsibilities of various players to avoid overlap and duplication. And a third working group will discuss all of the issues sUlTOunding the future ownership ofOHC. In addition. Leach announced a process will be established to specifically provide recommendations on supportive housing. The process will involve supportive housing providers, suppoIt service agencies, and municipal and provincial representatives.

Buy-out costS would be funded through a capital budget in the amount of S7,488 per year for five years (total of $37,440). Although the benefit. of thl. product are clearly corporate-wide, it I. anticipated that provisions would be made In the Planning Department operating budget 2610-2678 and capital budget 3264-2610-6181 for these expenditures over the next five years, commencing in the 1998 budget. .. .. 510,000 wu identified through the Planning Department'. 1997 operating budget submission for Improved parcel mapping under Account 2126-2392 -Consulti~e and Professional, however thcse fimd. will not be drawn in 1997 for this purpo.e. .. .. SUMMARY: The Town's parcel mappina I. an essential resource to our corporate operations and is fundamental to the activitiea of molt DeplItment.. The parcel mapPIna currently In use at the Town hu served the Corporation well, but 1acb the accuracy nccc.nry to perform detailed anal)'li. and to participate in the Importina and exportina of land bued mapping Information. Land hued information I. increasingly becomlns available and In demand. However, the Town'. current parcel mapping does not meet the minimum acc:uracy standard .et by the Province and colUlequent1y the Town is not able to fully benefit from available information. .. .. With the inc:reuinll responsibilitlea of local government and the need to ensure full and accurate informatiol1 in decisiol1 making proCClaea, it I. nece.wy that the Town upgrade the integrity ofits parcel mapping. Tennet, in partnership with the Provincial Goveillment, i. developing a parcel mapping base (POLARIS) for the entire Province over the next five year.. ThI. product meets and exceeds required accuracy standards, Is currently being developed by Teranet in part. of Durham Region, and could be acquired by the Town at a rcasoriable cost, especially with the potential SO% alst sharing with Durham Region. Clarington Council rcc:cntly undertook to ac:quire this product, subject to cost sharing arrangements being secured with the Region. It is recommended that Council enter into an ail'eement with T~anet to supply and maintain POLARIS parcel mapping for a five year term subject to a 50 % cost sharina aaceement witb the Region ofDurbam. The total colt to the Town of Pickering for the supply of POLARIS mappina of the Town over a five year period, Includlng quanerly updates and buy-out of the product at the end of the five year contract is 5104,840, or 520,968 each year for the next five years. The first payment would not be due until product delivery in 1998., The quality and accuracy of this dialtal mappina product is superior to others available and Is being offered at a price that cannot be matched by other suppliers or the Town. It Is necessary for the Town to be able to participate in the excbanae of mapping dat;. with outside agencies u the downloading of rcspolUlibilities from higher tier. of government Intrcues. The Teranet product will provide the Town with the strategic advantage that is required for the future, and will allow Town staft'to undertake projects that bring greater value to our operations. .. .. ... .... ... ... DISCUSSION In 1986, the Planning Department initiated the creation of digital base mapping for the Town. Our aourco for digital mapping was I inch .. 200 feet hand-drawn map .heets derived from Assessment Office mapping. These map. WCCCl the most up-to-date resource available at the time. Although this mappina Information did not provide a high level of accuracy, It did provide a comprcbenslve base in a format that could be updated and reproduced with minimal difficulty, and wu a great improvement over our hand-drawn mips. .. ... .. ~~ .. .. .. - - .. - - - - - - .. - - - .. - .. - - - 10-22-1997 09:38 9054209685 PICKERI/IKl TCl\oIIl OF a..ERKS P.04 !DT Report # 7/97 Pase 3 In 1987, the Town purdwed the WANG computer sYRem which included. goosraPhic infonnation I)'stem (GIS) mapping application. The digital bue maps were imported Into the new S)'Item and became the base layer for the Town's GIS. For the put ten years the Plannlng Department hu maintained this digital map bue, from whloh moat all of the Town', maps are now derived, In addition, and in conjunction with AutoCAD software, dozens of map layers have been created to enhance mappina capabUitiea from buic location maps to colour Official Plan achedulet. While the quality of current mapping Is adequate for many of the Town's requirements, it Is becoming increuingly apparent that the lower accuracy level of our mapping Is hlDdcring the Town's ability to aharc mapping data with other agenQies In the Province. Through increasing technology over the paR several years, data sharing between gOvenUnent and private iDdulUy has become commonplace. The Province has established Ontario Bulc: Mappina (OBM) at a scale of 1:10000 with a relatively high accuracy level, and this hu bCCQme the 'baaeline' for digital mapping in the Province. Public/private partnerships lUoh u Terarict have developed mapplns at a scale of 1:500 with a higher level of accuracy which allows for increased application opponunities. The Town's mapping aystem does not achieve the 'baseline' accuracy levellct by the Province and consequently the Town cannot properly Impo~ mapping data ftom outside govenunent agencies, nor can it export data which meets OBM minimum standards. With tbe increasing downloading of responsibilities from higher-tier to lower-tier aovemment bodies, it is becoming nCCCSIIJY for the Town to be able to participate in the exclw1ge of mapping data with outside agencies. An accurate and up-to-date mapping bue is considered eueatial for the Town to effectively meet the future challenges. SpatiallocaUolt of property Is a core element of the majority of municipal services and is fundamental to many .of the Town'. proceueI and activitiet. It is ncc:cSSl1)' for the Town to improve the accuracy oflts mapping to better position itself to accept both present and future operational cba1lenses. Staff from the Town, the Region of Durham, and the Municipality of C1arington have been negotiating with Teranct representatives over the past aeveral months to achieve a competitive proposal which we could bring before our respcaive Councils. Clarington's Council recently granted its approval to a cost sharing package Identical to that being recommended to Pickering Council through this report. ANALYSIS OF OmaNS In considering this matter, staff' eumlncd three optiolU which are available to the Town. each of which is outlined in further detail below. Option three is recommended by It aft' as the most appropriate action to meet the Town's need.. 1. Continue with our existing mapping system. 2, Enter into an agreement with Bell Canada to utilize their Itroot OI1t1ine mapping to build a parcel fabric bue with existing Town staft' and re80urces. 3. Enter into an aarccment wltb Teranct to supply and malntabl POLARIS parcel mapping to the Town over a five year tenn, with a buy-out option.

Condnue wltb current system The Town (;()wd continue to maintain the cxlJtIna dlaital parcel fabric and introduce accurate information, provided the new data dON not unduly displace exiatlniJ Idjlcent dlta. Our exiating digital parcel fabric wu created trom handodrawn map sheets. Geographic reference control wu not available to emure spatial accuracy or to determine levels of inaccuraoy. Although data maintClW\ce has always been I top priority, lac1c of geographio reference control baa eft"cet1vely neaated the integrity tbat is now expected for data of this nature. WhIle the quality of current mapping is adequate for many of the Town'. rcqulremenlil, our ability to share mappina data with other agencies in the Province is seriously Impeded, placing the Town at a very diatinot disadvantage. Without more accurate parcel mapping we will be unable to perform advanced reporting functions and analysis which would not only be of great use to the Town presently, but which will be necessary Ihould we experience an increase In respolllibilitics u a result of downloading from higher non of govenunent. Further, with the anticipated onset of development activity in the Duffin Precinct, the Eut Duffin Area, and Selton, the Ibsence of an accurate parcel bue will be a significant disadvantage. Sbould Council decide to continue with the current system, it is very probable that occasionally we will need to leue Global Positioning System. (GPS) equipment to verifY real earth positions of parcel comers, to ensure limited .patial integrity. .. .. ... III .. Option #fl. U.e or Dell Canada Street Outline Mapping Bell Canada requirea digital street mapping for their specific business needs. They entered into agrcemenlS with the MinIstry of Consumer and Commercial Aft'aIn and the Ministry of Natural Re.oun:ca to use 1" - 200' Assessment Office bue map. and I: 10000 OBM files. A1thouah Bell required only street outline. for their businell needl they offer municipalities the option to acquire, at no cost, their map files in return for value-added dati, specifically parcel mapping. This option is more favorable than using our current system because it is based on provincial 1: 10000 scale OHM standards which have more integrity than our exiatlng bue mapping data. It also allows for import/export capabilities with other agencies u lona II the other Igencies are able to ac:ccpt and receive data It a similar scale. ... ... ." However, the Bell Canada street outline file. form only the a1celetoil upon which the parcel fabric must be placed. Major Itaffresources would be required In the re-creation of tho Town's parcel fabric, requiring approximately one year to complete. The current parcel fabric would still have to be maintained until the new f'abric wu completed and ready for use. The ability of the Town to undertake special reports and analysis and create new map layers, would have to wait until the completion of the new parcel fabric. Also, our ability to perform advanced reporting functions and analysis will be limited to the 1: 1 0000 scale mapping accuracy. Oecasionalleasing of Giobal Positioning System {GPS} eqwpment would be required to verity real earth positioRl of parcel comers due to the accur.~cy limitations of J: J 0000 mapping. Opdon #iJ. Coatract with Toranet to Supply rarul Mapping, (Oplloll RtcOrftlnOlthd by Stu/J) In the early 1970s, the Province of Ontario determined that an automated method of accessing documents and maps wu needed to meet the arowina demand for lend.related information. They . developed tJMl Province of Ontario land registration system (pOLARIS), which essentially is a database containing every land parcel in the Province In both text and graphic form. In 1991, Tctanct Holdinas, a consortium of private sector investors and technology firms, was created II a land Information services company. It entered into an agreement with the Province to further develop the POLARIS project. That project is currently in progress and anticipated to be complete province-wide within the next five years.

It i.:anticipated that the Town will utilize Terraview OrWll it il eltablished in Durham Region. The p.,ce1 fibric Is a key element to the resiltratioD procell and could almost be conaidered I by-produet. Although the parcel fabric il created by TeranOl spec\fiea11y for the POLARIS project, the product is IVlilable to other potentla1 clIentl independent ofTClTavlew at a much reduced and realOJlablo COlt. Many municipalitios and agencies have contracted with Teranet for the provision of their parcel fabric. These include: the Resional Municipality of Ottawa.carleton (inc1udlna 2.2 local municipalities), City of Windsor, Metropolitan Toronto, City of North York, North York Hydro, City of Etobicoke, Regional Municipality of Kitchener-Waterloo (lncIuding local municipalities), Union au, Boll Canada (Oxford County). .. ... .. ~ - The TcranOl product is built and maintained to a hlah atandard which the municipality could not afford to develop on its own. Given that it is the Provincial atandaid for parcel mapping, it allows for multiple aaenaea to build their applications on the nme base map, allowing for easy Iharins of data. TcranOl parcel data is built at a acale of 1 :500 which Is sUbstantially more accurate than OBM data. This increalcd accuracy allows for more complex report creation and anaIylis, and would allow Town Itaff to input special data for corporate project. nther than our current restriction to basic updates and maintenance. ... ~ .. The intent is that the Town of Pickering would be the licensee. The Region would be a tub- Iicenceo and equally share tbe cost of the licence fee. The Town Solicitor would represent the Town In the development of an agreement with Tennet Land Infbrmation ServiCes Inc. and the Region for the supply of POLARIS mapping.

Created by provincial legislation, the new city will reduce the present two-tier system of civic government to a single-tier; marking the first major restructuring of municipal government in Metro in 30 years. .. .. With an annual budget estimated at $6.45 billion and a workforce of some 50,000 employees, Toronto's new civic government will be larger than most provincial governments. .. A six-member Transition Team, chaired by Alan Tonks, was appointed to facilitate the unification process. Since the team's appointment in late April, members have consulted widely before craft- ing a blueprint for the new city, outlined in the interim report, entitled "New City, New Opportunities", released October 10. In addition to Mr. Tonks, Transition Team members include Willis Blair, Michael Gee, Lois Griffin, Paul Sutherland, and John Wimbs .. .. Once the Transition Team has the benefit of public comment on the interim report (by November 1), a final report as well as a proposed operating and capital budget will be presented to the new City Council and the public later this year. .. All final decisions rest with the new City Council, as the duly elected representatives of the peo- ple. The new council, to be elected November 10, and to take office January 1, 1998, may accept, reject or amend the Transition Team's recommendations. .. .. The political and administrative structures as well as the service delivery systems for the unified city recommended by the Transition Team are designed to: be accessible and accountable to citizens .. encourage strong, strategic leadership and integrated policy development provide opportunities for all elected representatives to play an important role in guiding the ci ty. - .. - Political Structure The Transition Team envisions a new city government that is: . citizen-based, responsive"open; that engages citizens in the political life of the city · city-based, that is able to focus on the whole city and its role in a changing world . community-based, that recognizes the importance of both the social and geographic community . customer-based, that provides jor flexible, accessible, efficient delivery of services Under the legislation, the new city government will be led by a mayor to be elected city wide and ;6 city councillors, to be elected from 28 wards, two councillors per ward. At least one deputy mayor should be chosen from elected councillors. The Transition Team recommends that City Council should have an executive group called the "strategic policies and priorities committee". Chaired by the mayor, this committee would include the budget chief, community council chairs, standing committee chairs, and deputy mayor. It would set the strategic direction of City Council. Council should have a number of standing committees to formulate policy recommendations in the areas of urban development, community and neighbourhood services, emergency and protective services and corporate services. These standing committees should be supported by departmental ~clusters" that reflect committee responsibilities. The new council should also have a Budget and Audit Committee. Community ..Stewardship" City councillors will also sit on six community councils, formed as standing committees of City Council and representing areas within the boundaries of the former area municipalities: Etobicoke, Toronto, York, North York, East York, and Scarborough. One of the main functions of community councils will be to process all land use and development applications for the new city and should hold statutory hearings on these applications. The Team also recommends that they be responsible for other neighbourhood matters, such as local traffic and parking, e..xemptions and certain types of variances. All community councils have equal authority and should have, as their primary responsibility, the -stewardship- of community standards. Consistent with the Transition Team's determination to enhance citizens participation in the governance of the new city, the community councils should be able to give citizens a strong voice in the issues that directly affect their neighbourhoods. City wide issues such as the budget, taxes and economic development, should be dealt with by the new City Council. The Transition Team, in its interim report, recommends the new council consider changing the boundaries of the community councils to better reflect historic associations among neighbourhoods. ... .. .. .. fIIIIII .. .. .. .. .. ... ... ... .. ... "'" .. IIIllI ...2 '.. .. .. In the case of East York, where the community council has only two members, the Transition Team recommends the new council consider the possible addition of an adjacent ward to form a larger community council area as an interim measure. .. Finally, the Transition Team recommends that new council move to single-member wards for the next term Oanuary 1,2001). - In terms of the proposed budget, to be released later this year, the Transition Team's twin objectives are to maintain existing levels of service without raising taxes. .. The Transition Team recommends the new council begin to work immediately on an Official Plan for the unified city. ... The team further recommends the new council draft a mission statement to guide the new civic government's deliberations. - .. Administration - A chief administrative officer will lead a strong management team supported by a Strategic Directions Secretariat and an Office of Economic Development. .. The Transition Team recommends that departments should be "clustered" to reflect council's stand- ing committees urban development, community and neighbourhood services, emergency and pro- tective services and financial and corporate services and each "cluster" should be led by an execu- tive commissioner. .. Certain senior officials, including the clerk and the solicitor, should report directly to council. The auditor should report through the audit committee and the strategic policies and priorities com- _ mittee. The Treasurer, or Chief Financial Officer, who will be responsible for an annual budget of 56.45 billion, should report through the chief administrative officer to the budget committee and the strategic planning and priorities committee. .. Finally, the mterim report recommends internal administrative and technical services for the new city be consolidated centrally. .. A transition support unit should be established in the CAO's office to support development of a Corporate Transition Strategy and to implement the strategy once it is approved by council. - Service Delivery .. The new administrative structure should enable efficiencies through streamlining, consolidation, innovation and should be able to overcome barriers that have prevented collaboration in a number of areas in the past. - - In terms of municipal services, there should be no disruption during transition; service delivery should either be maintained or improved. ...3 - .. The new city's priority is equitable access and harmonized service levels. ... The challenge will lie in creating an equitable service delivery system while addressing variations in local needs. .. In specific terms, the Transition Team is recommending all citizens pay the same rates for water. The current six hydroelectric commissions are asked to achieve a uniform city-wide rate for electricity. .. Recreational facilities in the new city should be universally available, and basic recreational pro- grams should be offered free or at-a nominal fee.

How did the new city of Toronto come about? The new, unified city of Toronto was created by the Province of Ontario through legislation known as the City of Toronto Act, 1997. .. .. The new city, which will come into being January, 1998, will unite seven existing municipalities: the Cities of Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, Toronto, York, The Borough of East York and the Municipality of Metro Toronto. TRANSITION TEAM - 2. What is the Transition Team? .. The six-member Transition Team was appointed by the province in late April to develop a proposed blueprint for the new city of Toronto. By law, it must dissolve by January 31, 1998. ... 3. What specific assignments were given to the Transition Team? - The City of Toronto Act set out the specific duties of the Transition Team including: - . Establish the key elements of the new city structure including salary and compensation for elected members of the new city council. . Prepare a proposed operating and capital budget for the new council - 1 - · Hold public consultations on specific issues related to the new city · Make recommendations to the province on any legislative changes that may be necessary for implementation of the unification plan · Hire certain key staff 4. Whom did the Transition Team consult in making these recommendations? In June and July the Transition Team held a series of town hall meetings at the seven city halls to hear from the public on the role of community councils and neighbourhood . committees. More than 1,000 people attended the meetings and some 350 presentation and submission were made. Team members also met with all current municipal councils to get advise from the elected representatives of the people. More than 800 staff from all .seven municipalities worked on project teams examining the integration of services. A public round table was organized to bring together some of the best and brightest minds in urban design and architecture to talk about their vision for a new city. And to ensure that the Transition Team heard from a cross-section of people across the new city - people who would not necessarily come out to a public meeting - the Transition Team launched "Toronto Together" - a major research initiative that involved interviews with 14,000 people. 5. Why would individuals appointed by the province be making these kinds of decisions? The Transition Team is not making the final decisions - the final decisions including the budget and the tax rate - will rest with the duly elected members of the new city council. 6. How will the new city be governed? Under the City of Toronto Act, the new council will be led by a mayor, elected at large, with 56 members of council elected by ward; with two councillors for each ward. At least one deputy mayor should be chosen from elected councillors. A Strategic Policies and Priorities Committee, to be chaired by the mayor, serves as "executive committee", and will provide strategic direction to the new council. A number of standing committees will be struck, an urban development services committee, a community and neighbourhood services committee, an emergency and protective services committee, and a corporate services committee. Budget and Audit committees will be created. Finilly, the community councils will also constitute standing committees of the council. 7. Wh)' did the Transition Team recommend a move to single-member wards? 2 n.~............. ~' '. . . ... .. II1II ... III .. ... ... ..J. .. ... .. III IlIlI IIIlIII - ) .. .. During public consultations, people challenged the present system of having two councillors per ward. The issue was accountability. People expressed a preference for single-member wards. The Transition Team recommends the new council consider this change for the next term, which will begin January 1, 2001. COMMUNITY COUNCILS .. 8. What are community councils? - The City of Toronto A!}f., 1997 creates six community councils, corresponding to the boundaries of the six existing municipalities within Metropolitan Toronto. The Transition T earn recommends that the boundaries of the community be changed to better reflect Toronto's historical communities. .. .. The community couneils will be comprised of the city councillors in the wards within the community councils. They will operate as standing eommittees of city council. Chairs of the community councils will serve on the executive committee of the city council. .. The community councils should be the focal point for involving citizens in the civic affairs of the community. - 9. What is the role of community councils? - The team recommends community councils be responsible for: - processing development applications and holding statutory hearings; nominating citizens as members of various community panels, such as commitee of adjustment and local recreational boards; dealing with other neighbourhood matters such as parking, fence by-laws, sidewalks; involving citizens in neighbourhood issues. .. 10. How is the community council going to work in East York with only two members? .. - The Transition T earn has recommended the new council give priority to revising community council areas to balance the size and workload. That said, the new city council should consider interim measures for East York; including the possible addition of an adjacent ward to form a larger community council area. - 11. What happened to the idea of neighbourhood committees? - T orontonians are proud of their neigh~ourhoods and are determined to protect the distinct heritage and character of their neighbourhoods. People's feelings about their neighbourhoods did not, however, translate into a consensus supporting the creation of formal neighbourhood comnuttees. - A common concern was that neighbourhood committees could become a barrier between citizens and their elected representatives. .. 3 - Community-based organizations should continue to playa valuable advisory role in civic governance without creating another layer of municipal. government. SERVICE DELIVERY 12. Will there be any changes in service on January 1? There should be no disruption of services during the transition. The taps will turn on; the snow plows will be.out-on-the-roads; -the-garbagewill be eollected;,-the public health nurse, the arena manager, the secial worker, the fire fighter will all be where they were before amalgamation. - 13. Where will I go to sign up for a program, apply for a permit, or pay my municipal bills? Public accessibility must be a key priority for the new city. Delivery of services should and' will remain local. One "window" access points will be set up throughout the community and will have full information about all municipal services, the ability to apply for certain services, and the actual provision of other services. These access centres would use existing sites, such as libraries and local civic offices. 14. What will "harmonization" of services mean to me? Harmonization will allow the new city to take the "best practices" in each of the existing municipalities and make them standard practice for the whole city. Harmonization will also mean municipal employees working in areas such as economic development, will be working as a team rather than competing against each other as was the case in the old system of seven municipalities. 15. Will I have to pay a user fee for more services? Under the old system, fees were charged for a wide range of programs and services, such as water, recreation, permits and licenses. Because each municipality controlled rates for these services, rates varied across the metropolitan area. The new city will have to rationalize fee structures for municipal services. 16. Will my property taxes go up? The community's final decision on the budget, and the tax rate, rests with the new council. However, the proposed budget by the Transiti<?n Team that will be released in early November provides for property tax stability and continuity of service delivery. 4 1- ... .. lIIIlIII .. IIIlIi .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ... .. .. IIIIl lIiIiI - ,. .. MUNICIPAL ADMINISTRATION 17. How big will the new city government be in terms of staff and budget? .. The new city of Toronto will employ some 50,000 people and will have an estimated budget of $6.45 billion. - 18. Who will the people working-in the municipal government-be. reporting to? .. Based on the recommendation of the Transition Team, most municipal staff would be working in one of four "clusters" of departments. Each cluster is to be headed by an executive commissioner. The four clusters are: .. ... - urban development services (eg. planning and building, transportation, waste management, water and sewage works) - community and neighbourhood services (eg. social services, culture, housing, children's services, parks and recreation, publie health, animal control, hostel services) - emergency and protective services (eg. fire, ambulance, 911, emergency planning and communications, bylaw enforcement, licensing) finance and corporate' services (eg. human resources, access, equity and human rights, information technology, real estate, purchasing, facilities and 'fleet management, finance, legal, clerk) - .. .. The four executive commissioners will report to a chief administrative officer (CAO). Also reponing to the CAO will be the strategic directions secretariat and the economic development office. 19. Will there be any job cuts? - .. Amalgamation has certainly been a cause of concern for municipal employees. Yet despite a measure of uncertainty about the future, municipal employees have played a vital role in the transition process. .. There is an expectation that unification will produce cer.t~n economies through streamlining and consolidation. .. Because of the sensitivity of the issue, the Transition Team is recommending that human resources be the responsibility of the Strategic Policies and Priorities Committee of council. 000 - - - - 5 - ,... r - COUNCIL INFORMATION 1-23 - (i) Ontario ..

Courtice, Ontario L1 E 2M 1 - Dear Mr. & Mrs. Racansky: .. Re: Lombardo Property - 3242 Solina Road, Courtice Municipality of Clarington - Thank you for youiletter of July 30, 1997, concerning my letter to you dated July i 1,'1997, discussing the placement of fill material at the above property, from the former General Motors of Canada Limited ("GM") site at Mary and Bond Streets in Oshawa. - The decommissioning project was undertaken in accordance with the Ministry of Environment and Energy ("MOEE") document, "Guidelines for the Decommissioning and Cleanup of Sites in Ontario", dated February 1989 ("1989 G~deline"). - - A fill characterization study of the former GM site was conducted in 1990. The sample results were evaluated against the clean-up criteria in the 1989 Guideline. The results identified several giades of soil quality on the site. The sample results determined the soil to be suitable, in varying quantities, as fill material at (a) agricultural, residential or parkland sites, (0) commercial or industrial sites, (c) for disposal as non-hazardous waste at an approved landfill site, and (d) for disposal as a hazardous waste at an approved landfill site. - - The summary reports submitted by the consultant stated that soil deemed to be suitable as agricultural/residential fill was deposited at the Lombardo property. The property owner, Mr. Frank Lombardo, had initially informed the consultant that his property was zoned as commercial/industrial, and prior to the consultant finding out that the property was zoned agricultural, 9 loads of soil containing lead levels in excess of the criteria (500 ppm) for fill to be used on agricultural lands, but not in excess of the level (1000 ppm) accepted for commercial/industrial lands, had been deposited on an access road at the property. The level oflead in this soil was reported to be 983 parts per million (ppm). - - - cont'd ... - .' Mr. & Mrs. Racansky Page 2 Upon receiving the corrected information concerning the zoning for the property, the consultant intended to rerp.ove this soil; unfortunately, the soil had been incorporated into the roadway. The consultant decided to collect soil samples of the roadway material to attempt to isolate the soils in excess of the criteria. The sample results could not isolate this soil. Levels of lead in the samples collected did not exceed 300 ppm, therefore the soil remained at the site. According to information provided by the site operator 'retained by the property owner, the site has been receiving fill material from several sources since 1990. The site operator provided a drawing indicating the approximate locations of where the fill had been deposited from the sources, including the former GM site. On April 25, 1997, MOEE staff obtained five grab samples from the area on the Lombardo property that had been identified as having received the fill from the former GM site. The samples were analysed for heavy metals and were compared to the agricultural, residential and parkland criteria in both the 1989 and 1996 Guidelines. No exceedences of the criteria were identified, the levels for lead ranged from 12 ppm to 140 ppm. The rationale for developing the criteria included considerations for phytotoxicology, animal health and human health. The rationale for establishing the criteria for lead was based on the concern for the uptake . . by plants grown in the soil and for. ingestion of the soil by.children playing in the soil. In general, heavy metals, such as lead, do not leach from soil unless under very specific conditions, such as soil acidity (PH) of less than 2 (pH is the measurement of acidic to alkaline nature of materials, values range from 0 to 14, 7 being neutral). The natural soil pH in this area is 7.5 to 8, the pH of the soil from the former GM site was reported as ranging from approximately 8.2 to 8.7. Under these conditions the lead in the soil will not leach iJ:?to the groundwater, nor will lead be released to surface water should any of the soil runoff from the site. In your recent letter you also expressed a concern for the levels ofDDD, DDE and DDT found in samples taken from the Lombardo property. The results ofDDD (.011 mglkg), DDE (.020 mglkg) and DDT (.025 mglkg) that were reported do not exceed MOEE guidelines for these compounds. The information in your letter that DDD, DDE and DDT are 11, 10 and 8 times higher, respectively, is only correct in as much as the results exceed the laboratory's detection limits for those compounds. No criteria exists in the 1989 decommissioning guidelines for these compounds; the 1996 "Guideline for Use at Contaminated Sites in Ontario", contains a criteria of2.2 ug/g for DDD, 1.6 ug/g for DDE and 1.6 ug/g for DDT in surface soils for an agricultural land use for a potable groundwater condition (ug/g=mglkg). MOEE does not inspect or monitor sites that receive fill material. The responsibility for ensuring that a site receives only clean fill is that of the property owner. MOEE may follow-up on information that a site may have received a waste material. MOEE is satisfied that the site has not received waste from the former GM site. cont'd ... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

Part Lot 28, Concession 2, Former Township of Darlington Files: Dev 94-054 (Revised) (X- Ref. OPA 94-007/D- Revised) We are again opposing the proposal to rezone the very large block ofland (approximately three and one-half acres, far greater than any gas -bar would require) at the north-east corner of Courtice Road and Bloor St. which would allow for commercial use as a gas-bar. We, as residents of the area, realise that such a development does not better the way of life for ourselves or our children. With land already designated for this type of commercial use available at Baseline Road and 40 I highway, and along highway #2 there is certainly no need for additional commercial expansion in our residential ~nd agricultural area. We are quite happy to co-exist with the farming community that reflects the rural setting that most communities would ~nvy. The church at this same corner, with a history that dates back to the American Civil War, should not be desicrated by an unwanted and unneeded gas station. The land in question has an extremely high water shed and a septic tank to service commercial needs would cause water problems. There is no water service to this land all of which the owner - knew when the land was purchased. The applicants proposal is only the thin edge of a wedge to convert our rural and residential area into even more commercial uses. - - .. - - - - - With land designated for commercial use along highway #2 and also at the base of Courtice Rd. and Baseline Rd. near highway 401, there is certainly no need to change zoning to allow even more commercialization.

We are writing to express the need for a further public meeting for the following reasons: 1. Section 34(12) of the Planning Act requires Council ensure that sufficient information is made available to enable the public to understand generally the zoning proposal that is being considered by Council and at September 8 public meeting such information was not available to the public in that the siting of the proposed building was not made available. The same principle of the provision of adequate and sufficient information should apply to the request for an official plan amendment. 2. Sufficient information is not available to determine why the applicant has been exempted by staff, without any apparent Counci I endorsement, of the requirement to undertake an environmental impact statement in respect of the tributary to the Wilmot Creek. Vital to such a determination is the distance of proposed buildings from the tributary which has not been properly demonstrated by the applicant. As the site is so close to the headwaters of the Wilmot Creek the importance of this point to any critical to the planning analysis of the application. 3. Adequate information of the sewage system proposed for this factory is not available. If a communal system is to be utilized the public has not received any verification that this can be achieved to Ministry of the Environment standards. If a septic system is to be used, the public has .. Davies 0 lIowe Partners Page 2 ... .. ... not received any demonstration of the ability of a septic system to cope with it loading requirements in this situation. .. 4. The initial report to Council by staff was extremely preliminary and in our view, the public is entitled to a further public meeting in order to consider a more meaningful staff report which deals with the many outstanding questions regarding this application. We recognize that often a final report will go to Committee and Council without a further public meeting, however, in this instance that would be inappropriate due to the very limited information available at the public meeting and to this point in time. .. - ... 5. The planning justification by Tunney Planning indicates that this application is the first part of a comprehensive application for a larger piece of land. In our view it is premature to approve this application until fuller disclosure is made of the bigger application. This is acutely important in respect of the Oak Ridges Moraine and Agricultural evaluation. ... - .. 6. Comments on this application from T. Prevedel, Director of Transportation, dated July 4, 1997 indicate "unsafe conditions" associated with the entranceway as proposed. Whether and how this public safety matter is to be resolved should be submitted to the public in the form of apuQlic meeting. .. lIII 7. The scope of on and off site impact from the proposed fur manufacturing plant has not been made clear and is not possible to determine based on the lack of information made available to date. For example, the public does not know about the nature of the manufacturing process(es) to be employed on the site and therefore has not been provided with adequate input to Council. ... ... 8. I am advised by my clients that the mapping information contained in the Conservation Authority reports may not be correct. .. Please provide me with advance written notice of any meeting by Council Committee or Council dealing with this matter to allow my clients an .. ..

Repor.t PO - 134 - 97 Development of a nine hole golf course. My letter confirms our telephone conversation with you the morning of Oct. 17, 1997 concerning the minutes of the above meeting. I spoke at that meeting and my biggest concerns was that portion of the present golf course - holes 5 - 6-- 7 - 8 - 9, which maybe eliminated in the future and deSignated for homes. I mentioned that I had spoken to Mr. Victor Fuime the Manager of Wilmot Creek on two occasions asking him, IIWhy donllt you give all Home Owners a letter stating that no homes, condos, apartments or any buildings for occupany would ever be built on the land used for the above listed holes. Mr. Fuime's reply was, IIBefore they could build homes on holes 5 - 6 - 7 - 9, Ridge Pine Park Inc would have to go to the Municipality of Clarington a change to the Official Plan. - 8 - for - to in .. - .. .. - - - When ~'r. David Rice spoke he said he would be willing to give a letter the Home Owners as suggested by myself but nothing about a letter appears my portion or his portion of the minutes of the meeting of Oct. 6, 1997. It does say however, lilt is his intention to leave the existing golf course as is but perhaps, at a future time, the first four holes could become IIchip and putt': He assured the members of the committee that no housing will ever be erected on this site. This reads to me that he is saying that no homes will be built on holes 1 - 2 3 - 4 and as these four holes are on the lake front no houses could ever be built there because of erosion. Again we want to make it perfectly clear that we are asking for a letter to all home owners at Wilmot Creek from Ridge Pine Park Inc. stating that no homes, condos, apartments or any building for occupancy will ever be built on holes 5 -.6 - 7 - 8 - 9. of the existing golf course.

Re: File # OPA 97-020 AGENDA Mayor and all Members of Council - - I would like to voice my objection to the Lishman proposal to rezone land in the Orono area from Permanent Agricultural to industrial to build a "fur factory". I suspect he is using the factory to get his "foot in the door" so he can erect a hanger to build ultra-lite planes. There is a small air strip on this property where he could test fly his product and waiting in the wings is the owner of the property waiting to build a housing development if Lishman gets the rezoning. This is not serviced land and is miles from sewer and water access. These factories should go to Claringtons' serviced Industrial Park.

Since that letter was written, nine of Canada's ten premiers met in Calgary on September 14 & 15 and issued their "Framework for Discussion on Canadian Unity" and their "Guidelines for the Process of Public Consultation." In response to these, I wrote a letter to the Premiers on September 18, 1997 which included the following: Municipal leaders across Canada have already made clear that they have a stake in the future of our country. Municipal governments frequently refer to themselves as "the first order of government" - the governments closest to the people. Could we encourage municipal leaders to participate in holding "town hall-style" meetings in each community, open to residents of the communities, with the assistance offacilitators and information provided by the provincial government, with input from experts, and including the participation of the local M.LA. or M.P.P.? . The key advantage of such a process and mechanism is the opportunity to transcend political, partisan loyalties and commitments - the kind of leadership I believe Canadians are looking for. If you would care for a copy of my letter tothe Premiers or a copy of the "Framework" and "Guidelines," please contact me at the address above. Enclosed \\ith this are three sample resolutions for your consideration and possible use. Resolution #1 attempts to set out what Canada is, who Canadians are and what they care about. Resolution #2 takes the principle that the government closest to the people and capable should carry out programs and services for the people to whom it is responsible -- also known as "the p-rinciple of subsidiarity." There is much talk of "devolution of powers" or transfer of powers from the federal government to the provincial governments, but not .enough about "devolution" or transfer of powers from the provincial governments to municipal governments.

Whereas: the Government of Ontario has embarked upon a legislative course of action aimed at redistributing program and resource responsibilities at the provincial and municipal levels, and, - .. Whereas: the promise made initially by the government to the municipalities was one stressing the "revenue neutrality" of the redistribution exercise, a promise that was more recently re-iterated and confirmed for the "large urban municipalities", and, .. ... Whereas: the figures recently provided by the Provincial Government to the municipalities, upon their analysis by municipalities, indicate a scenario of major downloading, (one that for the City of Stratford would lead to a 16% increase in taxation just to hold the line at current levels of service delivery if certain city/county joint services are casted on an other than weighted assessment basis) and, ... .. Whereas: this scenario is brought about by the level of provincial grants to education in rural and small urban municipalities having historically been close to 40% prior to the disentanglement, and the relatively minor level of increased funding to the 50% level in no way comes close to what is needed to fund newly downloaded responsibilities, and, .. Whereas: this is a newly downloaded financial burden which is totally unacceptable to the citizens of rural and small urban Ontario municipalities, and moreover, a breach of promise by the Provincial government on the issue of fiscal neutrality, .. .. Therefore be it resolved: that the Government of Ontario be urged in the strongest possible fashion to keep its actions of disentanglement and re-alignment of responsibilities consistent with its repeated promise of revenue neutrality to the smaller municipalities, .. And it be further resolved that: this resolution be circulated to all Ontario municipalities with populations of less than 100,000 for their consideration of support and the referral of that support to AMO. .. ..

Re: OUR UNSAFE TOWN STREETS .. I am sending and publishing this letter as a result of an incident which happened to me tonight. Since we first moved into Bowmanville in 1983, I have spent many long hours volunteering my time to help the youth in this community. Not to say other organizations as well. My husband has done the same. Tonight, I was at myCadet meeting, which is the older members of Guiding, I parked my car on Temperance St in the ~t parking spot from King S1. I was at the meeting from 7:30 PM until 9:30 PM at St. John's Church. I made the mistake of assuming being parked on a main street with lights, where all the other cars were also parked ,was safe. Unfortunately, that was a huge mistake on my part. .. - - .. .. Now, thanks to somebody or group of bodies, my 94 Bonneville has a big gouge in the rear passenger door and the molding has been pried off, which by the way, includes the bottom 1/4 panel of the door. There are also other scratches that were made by the NICE person or persons that decided my car needed a new look. ,... - I am very concerned. For all the DEDICATED years I have spent working with our youth, this is what I have to show. The car is very expensive to fix. I am very angry. I was led to believe that we have a loitering law in this town. Apparently, it's not working. How could this happen if there was a law? I now must pay the deductible and have a totally clean insurance record tarnished because our streets are not safe. - - - - - .... -2- I11III Ironically, I went to the police station--it was closed. In darkness, what a surprise! I picked up the white phone and told the female voice what happened. I could not believe her reply. I was told that I should go home and phone it in. A police officer would take the information and give me a report number for MY JNSURANCE. How generous! I asked why a police officer would not come and look at the damage. I was told that due to LACK OF MANPOWER, this was the way it is handled. Because there are so many incidents like this, they could not do it any other way. It would be impossible .. to investigate all the times this type of problem happened. I insisted on seeing a police officer. She told me to wait at the station and she would see who was on duty in the area. A cruiser pulled up about 5 minutes later. Two officers got out of the cruiser, one took the report, looked at the vehicle and we went inside to make a report. He gave me a card with his name and the report number for MY INSURANCE but also told me that this was not his area and he would not be the one who would investigate it. I must say, all the police were polite during this mess. I11III .. .. .. .. .. .. I was th~ told there wasn't much that could be done unless we heard something. We could thelJ phone and give the report number to an officer at this station (before 5:00PM) and they could look into it ~ut right now, have a good day and call MY INSURANCE in the morning. Be prepared to pay the $250.00 deductible, by the way, the Bonneville, is $500.00 I believe. .. .. .. I have just had a another valuable lesson on just HOW SAFE WE REALLY ARE. It is easy to say, "call your insurance", but it costs ME, the victim. There is something wrong when I pay and lose for someone else's destructiveness. I parked in a proper, lighted ,designated parking spot went to vohmteer my time with our young ladies for 2 hours, come out and find it is now COSTING ME MONEY for doing something valuable in our community! This makes being a volunteer--a very difficult choice. If you . can't go and give your time without being afraid of what will happen to your car--why be a GOOD CITIZEN in this community? .. .. .. .. Are you, as a town council, going to send a letter to MY INSURANCE saying it is your UNSAFE streets and not my fault that my car was damaged? .. .. ... - - -3- - - Are you going to take the rating change on my insurance? Are you going to pay for the damages and repair them? Why should I have all the responsibilty and costs? Better yet, are you covering my deductible or the increase in premiums? You see, the Bonneville is one of the most expensive cars to not only fix but insure as ~ll. This town had better take a GOOD look at the streets at night. What else needs to happen, what other dangers should citizens be aware of? It's no longer safe to walk the streets at night, park in unlit areas, visit our parks and now park on our streets. Is it any wonder people want to deal with these low-grade, selfish, destructive "hoodlums". - .. - .. You say that you want Clarington to grow--are we to become another downtown Toronto or even closer, Oshawa? No one or anything is safe after 5 :OOpm when downtown businesses close. I feel very sony for those having to attend evening meetings. We have Sparks, Brownies, Guides, Pathfinders and Cadets that attend evenings--how safe ~4-hey? What about our Senior Citizens and their meetings, how safe are they? Are we becoming prisoners to these animals? - .. .. Wake-up Madame Mayor and Town Council--next time it may be YOUR vehicle when you are attending your council meetings! Hope you enjoy the insurance and damage costs, I know I'm not too pleased. I can't be without a car because I need it to take my daughter to hockey in Toronto and I have other commitments in Guiding but what choice do I have now. .. - By the way, one last comment--where is and why do we not have adequate policing in Bowmanville? If YOU want more people, you better be prepared to protect the citizens you already have. The "youth" in this town have no fear of our justice system and THAT'S THE REAL CRIME! - .. As a voter in this town, I am really going to look at the candidates and their mandates this time arOlmd. I want to see our citizens and their property protected. I want to make sure I can FEEL SAFE in this town again. - .... Good luck this election--I think you might all need it. - - .. .. -4- .. In closing, I will send you a report from MY INSuRANCE and the bill from the repairs so that you have a true record of what being a VOLUNTEER in our community can cost. . .. ..

Mayor Diane Hamre The Municipality of Clarington 40 Temperance Street Bowrnanville, Ontario LIe 3A6 1\lm(C]]l1Wl!'l) OCT 2 G 1997 - .. AGENDA 7AUNIC\PAU1l' OF ClARING10~ , MA'tOR'S OfflCE - Dear Mayor Hamre, .. Re: The Fair Municipal Finance Act (Bill 149 Part 2) Assessment of Farmlands Pendine: Development .. I write to you on behalf of the Urban Development Institute to apprise you of legislation currently being contemplated by the Province, which has the potential to significantly curtail economic development in all municipalities of Ontario. - Specifically, the above-noted legislation would see drastic increases in the assessment of agricultural lands at the point of draft plan approval, rather than registration. In effect, even though the physical development of such lands could be several years away, the landowner would be burdened with huge property tax increase. Obviously, this then will serve as a deterrent to bring lands forward in the face of such stringent penalties. .. .. Other impacts of such an increase would include; .. - the carrying cost of all forms of new housing and business space will increase as the cost of carrying land increases; .. - the viability of small developers and builders will be jeopardized as they may lack the financial resources to finance the cost of paying such taxes throughout the process to the point of construction or sale; .. - _ owners will strongly resist having their lands draft approved and zoned for future development uses. Few persons or companies would want to own a parcel of lands for the long term if costs of property taxes soared as soon as draft approval has been obtained; - .../2 - - ~ .. Urban Development Institute I Ontario Durham Chapter -2- . .. _ a readily-available and serviced supply oflands will largely disappear (through lack of draft approval) thereby limiting the attractiveness of our municipalities to industry and business which require choice in lot size, location, and configuration. All this at a time when the ability to attract new business is critical to a municipality and to the province as a whole; j .. _ the increase in the cost of development will also have a serious impact on many businesses who have made significant investment decisions to locate in southern Ontario based upon existing property tax laws. These laws allow them to hold lands for future expansion at a minimal carrying cost, so long as the lands are kept in a productive fanning use; and; .. .. _ owners of lands which are farmed but draft approved will let the draft approval lapse or will seek to have it rescinded even though these lands have already been through a lengthy planning process. It is an expensive, wasteful process to require owners as well as the many government agencies involved in the planning process to revisit the planning approvals in the future (after draft approval has lapsed) in order to permit a long-enjoyed use which only enhances our economy and which is consistent with numerous policy objectives of our Provincial government. .. ... filii In summary, the we feel that the proposed bill will impose substantial tax consequences on all landowners and will act as a deterrent to healthy and timely processing of development applications and their resulting economic stimuli to the municipality. .. filii We are asking the elected officials of all municipalities to join with us in asking the Provincial government to reconsider this flawed legislation and adhere to the principles of proper business facilitation inherent in the "Common Sense Revolution". ... To date we have received letters of support from Brampton and Newmarket (attached) and many more are now in progress. It would be greatly appreciated if you could add the support of Clarington to this list and send a letter expressing these same ideals. - . ~=':. ~ .... :.'~~-~-~+='---l.. ~7;;ozf:~~?.. ~""c:: C'UCDDADn A\lC'''''C CAC'T C""TC "''''''0 IMIII (,)IMn^1 C .

ORDINARY MAlL September 17. 1997 Hon. AI Leach" Minister of Municipal Affairs 777 Bay Street. 17th Floor Toronto. Ontario MSG 2ES Dear Mr. Leach: I am writing to you out of serious concern over the potential changes in the assessment of vacant Janik. as proposed under Bill 106. As you know. the Town ofNewmarkc:t. and indeed most municipalities of the Greater Toronto Area. are finally cmc:rging frOtd a long period of economic hardship. As Mayor of a municipality which is just stMdng to recover and grow once again, I want your assurance: that proposed asSe$1ment changes will not stifle that growth. To attract new business and industry to our municipality. we require a good inVCDtory of developable lands. Developers have relied on agricultural provisions in existing legislation to keep their land investments_ affordable and feasible in the face of lengthy development approval processes. As it stands, vacant lands arc being taxed at rates neaiing s 10.000 per acre. This r~pre:sents an uutenable financial burden 011 developers. They will either lose: or be driven away from their investments and in turn. future growth and industry for NeWmarke[ will be lost. Larger developers who are able to cope with the new rates on their existing lands will be discouraged from bringing new lands foxward. In fact, Newmarket's industrial land inventory is already dangeroU$ly low. Continued.. ./2 FROM I . UD I , FAX NO.1 4164986356 09-29-97 08153P P.08 .... .. .. Hon.

Much of this new [aX will be uncolleetable and will need to be written off in subsequent years, compounding our budgeting difficulties. Smaller landowners will not be capable of absorbing these new Tates. Existing industries will abandon tJ1eir expansion plans and simply leave tawn when they outgrow their cmrent facilities.. The price of undeveloped s~hool sites within a developer.! inventory will rise accordingly, a$ will laud being serviCed for residential useS. All ofd1cse costs will eventually be passed on to our residentS through higher priced housing. .. ... ..

A transfer was obtained and registered by the developer's solicitor. however, the transfer contained an error in description and was not postponed to by existing mortgagees. One of the mortgagees, Goldstein & Silverberg Holdings Inc. commenced foreclosure proceedings. A default iudgement of foreclosure was obtained against all parties except for the Municipality which had defended the action. The mortgagee conveyed the property to Gregory and Tracey Soyka. ... IIIli ... ... 2.2 Redesco Inc. was no longer active and did. not resolve the concerns which the Director of Public Works had expressed regarding title to the easement.

The Municipality's requirements for completing the transaction were set out in correspondence to the current owners (Attachment No.2).

According to Instructions given to me on June 13,1996. I have Inspected The subjeCT property to estimate a resonabte price TO pay for the aquisltlon of the above mentioned easements. . .. III My activities have included forming an opinion in regards to the likelihood of any injurious affection resulting from the easements. estimating the mar~et value of the parent property before and after granting the SUbject easements, estimating the market value of the' easements and having conversations and negotiations with 6regory SoyKa. - .. 'n my analysis I estimated that there wll I be no injurious affection caused by the easements. 'estimated that the market value of ~he uniT rate of the unimproved land in the fee simple Interest to be approximatelY $34.58 per square metre." The Total area of the two easements is 348.9 square metres with an estimated value of $12,000. (rounded). .. - On June 20, 1996 I met with Gregory Soyka at the subject property, gave him a copy of the survey of the property and easements and explained to him that in expropriation for easements In similar situations the expropriating authority typically pays between 25% to 50% of the fee simple value. In this case this would' probably be between $3000 and $6000. I also eKplalned that there Is seldom any gain to anyone to enter into litigation for exproprl~tion and that"a simple negotiation would benefit all parties. He was also informed that the granting of the easements would not prevent him from having a future sale of his remaining owners~lp rights in the event of future - .. - - IIIIIlI /' DURHAM APPRAISAL SERVICES INC.

BACKGROUND: ... ... ... - ... III - - - 1.0 1.1 At a meeting held on January 13, 1997, Council referred the correspondence dated December 17th and the delegation of Andrew Jamieson to the Chief Administrative Officer to consult with the Solicitor regarding the request pertaining to the Land Division Committee fees (Attachment No.1). As Council is aware, the delegation approached Council to request their assistance in reducing the Land Division Commiftee fees. lor the families who are in negotiations to purchase the former hydro easement. The fees in question are $600.00 per parcel as established by the Regional Municipality of Durham. There are 23 parcels that are being considered and this represents $13,800.00 under the current fees by-law. The Municipality could purchase the former easement land and then sell to the residents. However, in doing so, the Municipality would have to declare the property surplus, obtain an appraisal and then advertise for sale as specified in the Municipal Act. This is not a viable option for either the landowners or the Municipality. The second option would be for Council to request to the Regional Planning Committee to amend the fees by-law to provide a single fee of $600.00 for the transfer of the former hydro easement to the abutting property owners. 1.2 1.3 1.4 ../2 """," /J;\ ...".

THAT Report TR-99-97 be received for information, 2.

THAT MPP, John O'Toole and the Commissioner of Finance, Region of Durham be provided with a copy of Report TR-99-97. BACKGROUND: 1.0- ... ... III 1.1 - - - - The Province released on October 6, 1997 the document titled Who Does What - Budget Planning Worksheets (copy is Attachment #1). This document was to provide information specific to each municipality such that some budget decisions could be made for the 1998 budget year. However, the document contains on its title page, a disclaimer that the figures are estimates, and in the introduction, on page 3, it states that the information needed by the municipalities to understand what residential education tax room is "will be available shortly". This document has been reviewed by staff and the conclusion is that there are more unanswered questions than answers provided. Some of the major concerns or questions are summarized in point form notation as follows: . No clear relationship or direction on many allocation formulas. fl.EC'Cl(O~P"PtER PAPfR~R(CYClE THlS~PRII'o-;:: :"R(CYCI[OPAPf:H .. TR-99-97 Page 2 IIIIIlI · Much of the apportionment formulas will be governed by regulations, which are not yet released or available. .. · Weighted Assessment is suggested as the formula for allocating costs to the five GTA Regions based on preliminary current value assessment. However, the preliminary current value assessment numbers are ~ preliminary and the Assessment office has repeatedly indicated that it is based on a statistical sample only with many items not included. III lIllII . The province has not released the equalized weighting factors used in the GTA. It is implied that some type of average weighting was used since currently each region has a different tax ratio (ie. commercial vs. residential). The factors would have a significant bearing on the ultimate allocation of the tax burden. IIIIIlI .. . Pg. 9 - Social Assistance - number of costs not explained. ie. No decision has been made on how costs of the employment support worker that also works on a social assistance caseload will be shared. Also, under G.W.A. administration an allocation has been made for an estimate for non-shareable expenditures with no explanation as to the significance. .. IIIIIlI . Pg. 14 - Child Care - Indicates that figures exclude fee subsidies for participants in Ontario works which total 7.6 million for the Municipal share. They state that amounts will be determined for billing purposes prior to Jan 1, 1998. Also the child care expenditures by program component do not agree to total allocated to the Region of Durham. IIIIIlI IIIIIlI . Pg. 18 - Public Health - indicates that the cost outside the GTA is a straight allocation but the costs within the GTA have been put through an equalization process. It is therefore assumed that public health costs in Metro have been apportioned to the other Regions in the GTA. .. IIIIIi . Pg. 21 - Public Health - The municipality will assume responsibility for appointing/nominating board members to the Boards of Health (BOH). The BOH are then responsible to establish annual budgets but it does not indicate if the Municipality has any approval rights for budgets set by the BOH. .-II . Pg. 22 - Land Ambulance - metro cost is adjusted and allocated across the GTA. $13.6 million annual cost for recent arbitration for paramedics is not included, however the potential exists for this cost to be allocated across the GT A. Also, as the province self-insures, there is no cost included for insurance for fleet or liability. There is significant cost potential involved and less protection against lawsuits for municipal government. IIlIIl .. !IIi · Pg. 26 - Social Housing - Changes to tax assessment system have not been IlII lIIii .. ... TR-99-97 ... III ... - - ... ... ... ... ...

It appears that no administration costs are included in non-profit program costs, which will increase costs if they are added later. The Region also indicates that there is a significant discrepancy between the social housing units in Clarington provided by the Province (1,362) and the number in Clarington estimated by Regional staff (approximately 408). . Pg. 30 - Childlen's Aid Societies - indicates more accurate data on a lower tier basis is still being compiled. This leaves a question as to the accuracy of the data provided as the information is very brief. . Pg. 32 - Go Transit - In discussion with the Region, a concern was expressed over the allocation to the GTA regions based on a.m. boardings as the majority of boardings occur east and west of Toronto and therefore outlying areas will have a heavier burden while Metro Toronto collects commercial property taxes and therefore gets the advantage of the commercial activity being located within their boarders. The document also indicates that this is only one of a range of options available that are still being reviewed. What are the other options and their implications? . Pg. 36 - Municipal Transit - capital costs allocated based on annualized historical five-year capital subsidy review. However, in Clarington, the vehicle was in an accident and replaced from insurance proceeds. This prevented the need for the Municipality to replace but distorts any future projections. . Pg. 45 - Provincial Offences differing, with errors in court locations. . Pg. 54 - Regarding the Assessment function, the document states that once legislation is in force, issues such as salaries, benefits, transfer of pensions, fixed assets are to be "negotiated" with the province. The costs of these future charges are expected to have an extremely negative financial impact. Also, costs were allocated across upper tiers based on combination of equalized assessment and number of roll entries but neither of these numbers agree to municipal records. . Pg. 56 - re comment Managed Forests and Conservation Lands - potential changes in School board revenues are not shown. This could translate to the Municipality picking up the difference. There is a great discrepancy between rebate estimates shown by the province and those calculated by municipal staff. It appears as though, based on some definitions provided, that more properties will be eligible for the rebate than under the current provincially funded system. Pg. 58 indicates that the municipalities can appeal the managed forest designation. This would be an enormous administrative task that would be necessary on an ongoing basis. 2.0 2.1 3.0 4.0 IIIIIi TR-99-97 Page 4 .. · Pg 59 - Farm Tax Rebate - similar concerns as expressed above under managed forest category. Also, indicates that part of the impact will affect upper tier revenue rather than lower tier. This is not explained and may cause particular difficulty in Clarington due to our differing upper tier/school board territories. IIIIIlI Attachment #2 is an attempt to assess, on a preliminary basis, the potential allocation of the Who does What costs to the Municipality of C1arington. The allocation of costs is based on the province's suggested apportionment formulas. For many of the categories, the Province has listed the 1995 population numbers as an option for allocation of costs. These numbers are not only out of date but in may cases do not seem to be a reasonable basis for cost apportionment. IIIIIlI IIIIIlI .. The impact is not conclusive because of all the unanswered questions and costs that have been excluded from the figures. As noted above, the bottom line cannot be reasonably calculated also because of the unconfirmed education room that will reduce the final costs on the tax bill. It is still not clear whether the unique education tax support situation with Clarington belonging to the Northumberland County System has been factored into the overall assumptions. .III ..

Over the upcoming'weeks municipalities will receive~iIitin'i'ffiitioh that wilJ,.:~ist/them in working through the implicatioils'oftheir new revenue sources including the residential education tax room, the Community Reinvestment Fund and the Municipal Capital and Operating Restructuring Fund. Subject to approval by the Legislature, Who Does What would realign provincial, and local responsibilities to bring education costs under control, provide better services for taxpayers and ease the pressure on residential property taxes. This package represents the n~l~r~~iof detail following the August 6 release of fmancial infonnation on the changes in costs and revenues by geographic upper tier and northem district. It will serve as the basis fotueries"Ofmeetings,betw~provincijraiid'muriiciparofficial~ across the province to provide more clarity on the numbers, and to talk about the assumptions behind the numbers. As the Minister stated at the annual conference of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario in August. these meetings are the beginning of a dialogue with municipalities that will continue over the coming months as further detail is known and decisions are made. Each section is in the same sequence by program as the August 6. However, this document provides the infonnation to assess changes on each municipality upper tier, lower tier and single tier as the case may be. The material is set out with demographic, assessment and case load infonnation where appropriate so that municipalities can work out sharing arrangements that best meet local circumstances. :..... In some cases, the data has been revised based on discussions with municipal staff and where better infonnation has been developed since August 6. The document is intended as'abUdgetary::aid'ahd'can'~\'iiPdit~;i!};"tUrtherlfiformauP~oll1es available. There are still important decisions to be made on how to allocate the pennanent $500 million Community Reinvestment Fund, and the additional transition assistance of $70 million a year and the $800 million-plus Municipal Capital and Operating Restructuring Fund.

Ii CHILD CARE Background to the Financial Data Released on August 6: . Funding for child care fee subsidies, wage subsidy, special needs resourcing and resource centres will be 80% provincial and 20% municipal. Service levels in 1998 will be based on service commitments in March, 1997. In the August 6 release, additional municipal expenditures were based on preliminary provincial 1998/99 estimates, apportioned to geographical upper tiers using the 1995/96 percentage distribution of expenditure commitments for applicable services. Further information is provided in the table "Child Care Additional Expenditures by Program Component": Figures represent the additional municipal 20% share after Who Does What, derived from 1996/97 service contracts signed by MCSS Area Offices with the relevant service providers. Approved corporations, special needs, wage subsidy and resource centres programs were not CQst shared by municipalities prior to January 1, 1998. For services where MCSS contracts with a municipality, figures are shown for that municipality. For other service providers, expenditures are shown according to the head office of the operator. MCSS will work with municipalities to resolve cross boundary issues. In the GTA only, equalization has been applied to the total for each upper tier. Figures exclude fee subsidies for participants in Ontario Works which total $7.6 million for the municipal share, because they have not yet been fully allocated to municipalities. Amounts will be determined for billing purposes prior to January 1, 1998. Figures also exclude funding to First Nations because it is not affected by Who Does What . Apportionment o/Costs: Proposed ServiceImprovementAct provisions(ScheduleC, Sections 7.3 and 7.5 of Bill 152 - 1st Reading version): Municipalities, Ontario and persons living in territory without municipal organization would be required to share the costs of child care services. Where a delivery agent's geographic area includes more than one municipality, the regulations would set out how the municipal share of the delivery agent's costs would be apportioned among those municipalities. The regulations would set out how the municipal share of Ontario's costs are apportioned. 14 .. - .. .. .. .. IIIIIlI IIIIIlI .. IIIIIlI IIIIIlI .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ,. - REGION OF DURHAM ...

The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing released a package of Who Does What Budget Plarming Worksheets to all Municipal Clerks and C.A.O.'s in Ontario which was received by the Regional Clerk on October 8, 1997. - . This package was to represent the "next level of detail" followiog the August 6, 1997 Ministry release -of financial infonnation for upper tier municipalities (i. e, the pooled estimates for the GT A Regions). According to the Ministry, this package will be the basis for discussion at a future unspecified meeting between Regiona~ Municipal and Provincial staff. ... - 2.0 HIGHLIGHTS - . This Provincial package faib to deliver the following: - i) any further financial or statistical information to assist the Region in detennining the 1998 budget requisitions for the downloaded responsibilities; ii) the final impact upon property taxpayers related to tbe downloading and the new Provincial education ta): policies and funding; or iii) any analysis of the impacts related to the Provincial initiative to pool social services and GO Transit costs across the GTA (ie. pooled vs. non-pooled). - . It is still unknown wbat the impacts will be from the Provincial assumption of 50% of the residential education property taxes. The new Provincial education tax policies and funding remain unknown, but significant factors in determining any final tu. impacts to Durham property taxpayers. .. ... . Repeated attempts by staff to obtain further detail from the Province ha.ve been unsuccessful. - 3.0 ESTIMATED IMPACT ON REGION OF DURHAM III - . There is no change to the Provincially-estimated impact of $35.3 million to $38.5 million for Regional property taxpayers as reported by the Commissioner of Finance in Report #97-f~60. As cautioned in Report #97-F-60, the prgvincial estim'1te of $17.9 to $21. I million fails to include the impacts of the elimination of the ~1uniciDal Support Grant and the transfer ofPrQvincial pighways which increase the Re'Jional General Levy impact by approximately $35.3 million to $38.5 !nillion. - - . The Province cautioned municipalities that the August 6, 1997 estimates should not be used for impact analysis due to various concerns by the Province regarding the data. This October 6, 1997 Provincial WDW Budget Planning package further warns that further financial information will be made available "as it is develooed". - - - 905-571-7460 DlJRHA~l FINANCE 156 P04 OCT 17 '97 14:10 IIIIIlI REPO~T #97-((-104 UPDATE ON WHO DOES WHAT lNrrIATJVE- BUDGET PLANNING PACKAGE 3. REPO,RT/cont'd ... 4.0 FINAL IMPACT ON PROPERTY TAXPAYERS CAN NOT BE DETERMINED till 4.1 Provincial Qualifier! Regarding the WDW Budget Worluheet Package 4.2 . The Province identifies several decisions which are "being finalized for a number of reassessment and tax policy issues", including the foUowing: .. .... Payments"in':-lieu" the amount and how PILs will be shared; .. pipelines - assessment rate structure needs to be updated to recognize current value; .. linear properties - acreage rate program to be deteonined; .. graduated tax rates for conunercial class; .. provincial tax. ratio ranges: .. formalized parameters for subclasses; .. working definition of what constitutes an assessment related change, El.g. shifts created as a result oftransition ratios; .. final tax rates for residential education property taxes to let municipali.ties know exactly how much of the $2.5 billion province"wide residential education tax room is available to them; .. final tax structure and rates for commercial and industrial education property taxes." .. .. - .. - . The impact of these outstanding decisions has the potential to further increase the estimated burden to be placed upon the property taxpayers in Durham Region. For example, if the residential education tax relief is less than indicated in the August 6, 1997 Provincial announcement, then the total property tax requirements will increase" but staff can not detennine the magnitude without the education tax information from the Province. .. .. Further Concerns with the WDW Budget WorkJheet Package .. . Staff remain concerned that the full costs of the downloaded services/programs are not reflected in these Provincial estimates. For example, the estimates may not include the administrative costs such as those identified in the report on the downloading of Social Housing (Report #97 -J-1 0). .. IIIIIlI . As a further example of the inaccuracy of the data, the estimated social housing data contains a grossly inaccurate unit count for Clarington (i.e. Provincial estimate of \,362 as compared to Regional estimate of 408). - . The area municipalities are also indicating some discrepancies between their estimates for managed forest and fann tax: rebate, library grants, etc. and the Provincial estimates. .. .. . III ...

In order to fully determine the potential impacts, the Region requires various detailed financial information including basic financial data such as: cost breakdowns (salaries, rents, etc.) for current Provincial services (eg. Assessment Office); pre and post GT A-pooling costs; Provincial program and administration costs; outstanding liabilities (eg. mortgage; insurance and otherwise)~ agreements with existing service delivery agents; and, audited financial statements of current service providers (eg. Social Housing). . The Region also requires various statistical information such as: market value rental revenue & social housing unit counts;- Family Benefit Allowance and Disability caseload; and, ambulance dispatch services. . The Region is also obligated to undertake certain actions such as: begin negotiations to transfer the Assessment function~ formalize process for assumption of land ambulance service delivery; participate in reform of social housing programs; and, establish interim billing procedures. . As well, the Region must review its administrative structure & functions (eg. risk management, insurance, financial reporting) to ensure that t.he optimal accountability and efficiencies will be obtained. CONCLUSIOl'! . The Honourable AI Leach's recent statement that the WOW Budget Package would "help [municipalities] plan your 1998 budget" demonstrates the complete lack of understanding by the Province of the municipal budget process. This paekage fails to deliver any further information or clarify priorProvincial estimates. Furthermore, many of the critical factors related to the residential education tax relief ,Uld assessment/tax policy impacts remain unknown. . Another critical factor is the steadily decreasing time frame available to the municipal sector, given the forthcoming municipal election. This Regional Council has only one meeting left in its mandate while the new Regional Council has only one meeting scheduled prior to January I, 1998. the effective date for many of the d,)wnloading initiatives.

It is respectfully recommended to Council the following: 1. THAT Report CD-45-97 be received; ... 2.

THAT the By-law attached to Report CD-45-97 appointing these people be forwarded to Council for approval; and ... 4. THAT Helen Roussy and GROUP 4 C. P. s.

BACKGROUND: - In October of this year the By-law Enforcement Division received a formal request from Helen Roussy, Property Manager for Durham Condomi~ium Corporation #146 (the Nantucket development at 2800 Courtice Road) to have members of Group 4 C. P. S. Limited appointed as By-law Enforcement officers in order to enforce the Traffic By-law, # 91-58, on the Condominium's property. ... ... - At the present time, parking offences at the condominium property are handlec. by the Parking Enforcement Officers and the Durham Regional Police on a complaint basis only. Often by the time an officer is dispatched the offending vehicle has moved or an agent for the property cannot be located to co-sign the ticket. The use of private security workin~ for the owner allows for a faster response time. - . . . /2 - - IlfC'CtlO~"ilPIER PH'{ft \t::!:j IHC~ClE T!I~'> f> PR'''.~[ J::'. ;:;;-:"'':l(OPAP(1l IIIIIlI Report CD-45-97 - 2 - October 27, 1997 tit Attached to this Report are the letters from Helen Roussy and Group 4 C.P.S. requesting the appointments and listing the officers involved.
