~o I. lS L--
Ministry of Education
and Training
Information you should know
If approved by the Ontario Legislature, the
following changes to the province's school
boards will take effect on January 1, 1998.
The proposed changes are reflected on the
enclosed Municipal Election and School
Board Support form.
. Ontario is proposing to reduce the number
of major school boards.
. All major school boards would be called
"district school boards".
. It is expected that 66 district school boards
would be established:
- 29 English-Public
- 26 English-Separate
- 4 French-Public
- 7 French-Separate
. Existing isolate and hospital school boards
would not be affected, but would be called
"school authorities".

The school board trustees you elect this
November ",ill represent you on your new
district school board or school authority.
The Ontario government is also proposing
changes to education funding. If approved by
the Legislature, these changes will mean that
residential property tax is no longer used to
fund schools. If approved, these changes will
also take effect on January 1, 1998.
Designation of school support
On the enclosed Municipal Election and
School Board Support form, you are asked to
mark the type of school board you support.
Please see the "Explanations" on the back of
the form to find out what your options are.
@ Ontario
1-2
You may support only one board, and it must
be a board you are eligible to support.
Note: In some cases, if you are already identi-
fied as a voter with French-language educa-
tion rights, the form will show you as a
French-Public or French-Separate school
supporter.
You may have a choice of school support that
was not available to you before. For example,
there may be a French-Public or French-
Separate school board that you may now
support if you are eligible.
If you have a choice of school support, you
can change your choice at any time, up to and
including polling day. Contact your municipal
clerk for information on how to do this. If
you live in an area that is not organized as a
municipality, contact your school board
secretary.
You may vote for trustees for a school board
only in the area where you have your prin-
cipal residence. If you own or rent property
in a different area, you will no longer be
entitled to vote for trustees in that area.
You may still be eligible to vote for
municipal representatives in that area.

Contract Policing: AGE N {) A.
Working with the OPP to Design Your Community's Police Services
by Sgt MichealAnnstrong
Editor's Note: At the time this article was prepared, the Ontario government had just announced proposed
changes to the Police Services Act that would affect 11tlUIicipalities not presently paying directly for policing.
These changes would have little effect on muliicipalities with an existing police service that are considering
a costing.
On November 18, 1996, the Ontario government lifted the moratorium on Ontario Provincial Police contracting
, for provision of policing services to municipalities. Under the Police Services Act, municipalities responsible
, for providing policing can do so by having their own police service, by sharing police services with a
neighbouring municipality, by entering inti> a contr.ict with the OPP or by a method approved by the Ontario
Civilian Commission on 'Police Services.
The OPP first became involved in police service contracts in the 1940s. Since then 35 municipalities in the
province have entered into contracts, the most recent being the Thwn of Mitchell in 1996.
When a municipal council decides to explore the C!ption of a policing services contract with the OPP, it
must first obtain and review the Ministry of the Solicitor General and Correctional Services (MSGCS)
Protocol. The council then submits a resolution to the Solicitor General requesting a cost proposal from the
OPP, along with a resolution of the Police Services Board approving the request. A copy of the council's
resolution must also be provided to the chief of police and the local police association.
As part ofits costing request, council provides a report outIining the population and size of the municipality,
the size of the existing police service and names of elected and appointed municipal otlicials.
When the OPP receives permission from MSGCS to proceed with the costing process, members of the
OPP Contract Policing Section meet with representatives of the council and Police Services Board to discuss
the area's policing needs and to fully explain the costing process. 1bis is an opportunity for council and
board members to identify any special needs they would like incorporated into the costing proposal.
Elements of costing proposals
Three components are included in a basic OPPcosting proposal. The first is a level of police service specified
by the municipality. The second is a workload analysis, performed by the OPP, to determine the number of

Lewis Carroll wrote that amusing nonsense verse in 1889. Ifhehad written
it today, in Ontario, the concluding line might have been considerably
longer, with an assessment of options and costs and above all the weighty
question ofwhelher ornothis municipality includes the removal of distant.
relatives from chimney-pieces in its list of funded services.
Thday's dilemma for Ontario municipalities, as they wrestle with the
problem of providing police service to their taxpayers is anything but
amusing. Councils and administrators across the province are faced with
the necessity of making important decisions in a short period of time with
limited information. In this issue of NM, we bring you two fact-ftlled
articles on the future of policing in Ontario. The first, written by Sgt.
Michael Annstrong provides backgroundon the OPP's involvement with
police service contracts and considerable detail on the process of
negotiating a costing proposal. The second article, by Mike Roelofsen,
describes the issues and options as they are being addressed by a nu.mber
of small to mediurn~sized communities across the province. Mike has
also developed a list of pros and cons under each of the four options,
based on his interviews with a variety of sources.
Stan Skrzeszewski?s regular column" The Wired Community" takes US
to Clarenville Newfoundland with a description of how that small town
has re-generated its local economy through a telematics strategy, which
Clarenville defines as 'a smart plan for a smart town.' Stan outlines the
six-point strategy and suggests ways that other communities can build on
the Clarenville success.
A record number of small communities across Ontario received funding
from Industry Canada's Conimunity Access Project this year (a matching
funds program that heJps communities provide public access to the
Internet). Many of them are planning to claim space in cyberspace by
putting up their own web sites on the World Wide Web (WWW). This
issue of NM includes a checklist of design lips for those that are thinking
about or are in the process of developing their own municipal web pages.
In the next NM, we will feature an article on ways to ensure that your
community gets the most out ofits public Internet access site. with specific
recommendations for set-up, staffing and sustainability.
In the meantime, it's Spring at last, even in Northern Ontario!

Policing Your Community
(Continued from page 1)
officers required to provide policing services to the
community, This workload analysis looks at the
volume of occurrences and the number of hours
required to complete each type of occurrence. When
the required number of officers is determined, a
costing formula is used to establish eqnipment and
support services costs per officer. The third
component is a level of service identified through
community interviews. Members of the Contract
Policing Section interview a cross-section of the
community to determine what level of service
residents want.
If requested, the proposal will outline different
options and their costs. If the community would like
to see additional resources, they are factored into the
proposal, This step allows the community to tailor
the service to meet their special needs and requests.
With this information, the OPP completes its costing
proposal and submits it to the municipality for
consideration.
Integrated detachments offer advantages
Municipalities generally consider two areas when
negotiating a proposal: reducing costs and meeting
specific needs in the community.
In order to reduce costs, municipalities may look at
an integrated versus a stand-alone detachment. An
integrated detachment combines municipal policing
with a neighbouring OPP detachment. Sharing a
building and administration with the OPP offers cost
savings to the municipality. In Kirkland Lake, the
municipal police service was integrated with the local
OPP detachment and the OPP moved into the town's
police building, This reduced the cost to Kirkland
Lake because it allowed supervisors and clerical staff
to be shared. Integration allowed Fort Frances to
increase officers on the road from 17 to 21 and to
add a detective and a community services officer,
two positions it had not had before.
In other contracts, the situation is reversed. with
municipal policing being done from a neighbouring
OPP detachment. The Town of Penetanguishene
chose to set up an integrated detachment with
Midland OPP detachment. Penetanguishene
requested a full-time supervisor in its contract and
so one sergeant is assigned to work days in the town.
After hours supervision comes from the Midland
detachment.
Service delivery
All decisions made by municipalities in entering into
contracts are not based on economics. Communities
identify closely with their police and sometimes have
concerns about the way the service is delivered.
In the OPP, each detachment handles administration
but officer dispatch is done from a central location
in each region. For this reason, detachments are not
open to the public at night. Some municipalities, like
the City of Orillia, may want to keep the police
reception area open 24 hours a day and, in Orillia's
case, this was done with municipal employees.
Central dispatch is an area of concern to many
municipalities when considering a contract proposal.
The OPP has used central dispatch since 1989 and it
is an efficient and effective system. Officers remain
in the community aI:1d they know the areas they
police. With computer technology, dispatchers have
detailed maps at their fingertips.
Response time to calls is another concern. Officers
in a municipal OPP contract are assigned to the
community and their response times generally remain
the same.
Staffing
When the OPPabsorbs a municipal police force, it
hires all uniform members unless they are facing
criminal charges. The OPP also guarantees not to
transfer the officers for three years after the contract
is signed, except at the officer's request.
Th prepare a costing proposal takes approximately
90 working days from receipt of the request from the
Ministry of the Solicitor General and Correctional
Services. Costing proposals are prepared at no cost
to the municipality and there is no commitment at
any time until a finai contract is signed.
When a municipality receives a costing proposal.
the decision is the municipality's. The municipality
is buying the service and it makes the decision about
how it wants that service delivered.

Police Service Issues and Options
by Mike Roelofsen
As part of the many changes which have been
announced recently by the Ontario government, 576
communities will have to decide what kind of police
service they want and be prepared to foot the entire
bill effective January I, 1998.
Section 5 of the amended Ontario Police Services
Act gives municipalities four distinct options to police
their community, each with its own level and type of
police service, all costs included.
These options are to maintain the status quo, with
distant OPP service (costs will be assessed); to
contract with the OPP for a municipal service; to
contract with a larger nearby municipal police
service; or to create their own police force.
Municipalities can
now also join with
their neighbours
in creating a wider
serving and larger
police department
with a police
service board
representing each
community, as
agreed to by all
concerned
Fred Peters,
assistant deputy
minister with the
Ontario Ministry
of the Solicitor
General and
Correctional
Services, said
municipalities
will determine the
shape and level of
their own police services and boards. "The cost
recovery process is meant to be neutral. In other
words it should not have a bearing on their choices
of the kind of service they want... The associated
costs will not be simply an average across the board,
each will be determined by a separate and detailed
analysis."
Stephanie Bolton, a senior ministry communications
officer, said that it would be advisable for
municipalities to complete their amalgamation plans
first and then decide what option or options to pursue
in providing an adequate police service in their area.
Bolton said if a municipality requests a costing
analysis by the OPP, a complex 12-pointfonnula has
been developed and approved by the ministry and
includes such things as demographics, the physical
layout of the area, commercial and industrial versus
residential properties, levels and hours of service
required, population and others. "There's no magical
number, no
average cost, no
per capita
charge," Bolton
said. "Each
request will be
h and e d
individually."
Bolton added
that the OPP
will maintain
and make
available when
required,
specialized
services such as
Tactical and
Rescue (TR U)
teams, canine
units, drug
squads and
intelligence
services usually at
no cost to the municipality. Bolton said that for large
scale police operations. in emergencies or disasters,
the Minister has the discretion to waive any extra
police costs to the local government, but reiterated
that each such case will be considered on its own.
Policing in Ontario: The Facts
o Annual Cost: $1.9 billion
o Number of Forces: 104 (including the OPP)
o Number of Employees: 23,500 (uniform and
civilian)
o Size: Ranges from three officers to 5,300. 34 forces
have 10 officers or less.
o Ratios: Varies - from one officer to every 380
residents to one officer to every 1,800
o Who pays for what now:
576 municipalities (I 5 % of Ontario's
population get OPP policing now for free,)
Cost is paid by the province.
202 municipalities (83% of the population
have their own forces.)
32 municipalities (2% of the population) are
under contract with OPP.

opp Inspector John Mitchell, with the force's First
Nations and Contract Policing Bureau headquartered
in Orillia, says the
OPP are ready to
tackle an expected
dramatic increase in
the number of
costing proposal
requests from
municipalities
across the province
as they consider
their policing
options. "We've put
resources in place
and streamlined the
process somewhat"
Mitchell said.
"We're ready to go."
The normal time-frame for processing requests has
been about six months in the past, but Mitchell said
he's confident it will be reduced substantially from
that. "We're certainly oot pushing the OPPon anyone,
but we do know we have a viable and cost effective,
situations will be and won't know for some time."
In Lambton County, the Town of Forest's mayor
Gord Minielly
says the
changes to the
Police Services
Act had beel\
expected for the
last couple of
years. He
personally
favours
studying the
costs of a
county-wide
OPP force, with
the tab shared
by all the
municipalities.
Forest, which has a population of 2,900, is fortunate
to already have an OPP detacIunent situated within
the town itself. The detacIunent serves the north half
of Lambton. "We don't know which way we'll go,"
Minielly said "We conld create our own police force,
or we could buy the service from the OPP, or from
the city of Sarnia.But what's more pressing right
now," he added "is that we haven't yet decided on
amalgamation. I think that has got to be accomplished
first" Forest is negotiating with its neighboufs, the
town ofBosanquet, the villages of Arkona and Grand
Bend and parts of Plympton, Warwick and nearby
Stephen township located in Huron county. Minielly
says his best guess is that what ever police service
the area decides on will cost between $100 to $150
per person per year.
Key Reforms to Ontario Policing
o ALL municipalities to pay for policing next year
o Municipalities to appoint the majority of police board
members, now dominated by Provincial appointees.

hurdles facing communities in trying to make a
decision about what police option to choose is that
Queen's Park hasn't outlined what the bottom line
of transfer dollars will be from the overall effect of
'Mega-Week' announcements. "We've always

The Wired Community
A Regular Column
by Stan Skrzeszewskis
Senior Editor, The New Municipality
Telematics Strategies To Create Small
Businesses in the Community
In the first "Wired Community" column we defined the wired city as being any
municipality, large or small, that uses communication, information technology and
networks as an integral part of its social and economic development plans: In this
column we look at the very practical strategies that one Canadian municipality has
used to turn itself into a 'smart and wired' community. If adapted to location
conditions, these strategies can be successfully used by any small to medium-sized
municipality to position them for success in today's information economy.
The Oarenville Telematics Strategy
ClarenvilIe, a town of 5,500 people located on the east coast of Newfoundland,
adopted a telematics strategy which they define as a 'smart plan for a smart town.'
Telematics is a combination of computers and communication which enables people
to work where they want and when they want by creating networks of people,
networks of machines, and networks of people and machines. Used strategically,
telematics is an economic development tool which can be used to stimulate small
and medium-sized rural businesses.
Strategy Number 1
Begin by increasing community awareness of the potential of the 'wired' town
concept.
Before any municipality can launch a 'wired' town project the residents in the
municipality must be exposed to the new information technologies and the Internet.
Building awareness and understanding is just as important as building the
technological infrastructure. This can best be done through workshops, information
sessions, and articles and announcements in the local media.
Strategy Number 2
Build the partnerships that wiU be necessary to implement a 'wired wwn 'strategy.
The Town of Clarenville is able to do what it does because of a set of partnerships
which unite much of the business and technology expertise in the town. Such
partnerships are essential to making an information technology strategy in a small
town possible, as they build the critical mass of interest, infrastructure and resources
that are required to be successful with any technology strategy.
The New Municipality Winter 1997 v. 1. no. 2

Partners in the Clarenville Telematics Strategy in-
clude:
a Clarenville Area Chamber of Commerce~
a Clarenville Area Telecentre;
a Newfoundland Department of Development
and Rural Renewal;
a Enterprise Network Inc.
a Clarenville Campus-Provincial COllege;
a Human Resources Development Canada.
Clarenville created North America's first Enterprise
Network telecentre in 1990. The te1ecentre offers
computer based-resources, databases, workstations,
laser printers, digital scanners, and internet
connections with live expert information searchers.
Strategy Number 3
Build on a technological infras~ture.
The key component of any 'wired' or 'smart' town
initiative is, of course, the development of an
information and communications technology
infrastructure. The level of development depends
primarily on the imagination and resourcefulness in
the community. The high level of technological
development in ClarenvilIe shows just how much a
small town can accomplish. Its technological
infrastructure includes:
a access to a fibre optic backbone;
a a fully digitized telephone service;
a an Internet node;
a dial-up capacity to a Local Area Network;
a two-way video-conferencing;
a satellite downlink faCilities;
a Eastern College's Clarenville Campus, a
pioneer in digital training and technology, with access
to 170 work stations and a UNIX server.
Strategy Number 4
Use the 'wired' town concept to stimulate economic
and business activity by providing the means for
enuepreneurialactivity.
The Clarenville Telematics Strategy provides the
opportunity for local entrepreneurial and business
development in the following areas:
a information brokerage;
a Internet services;
a advanced technical consulting;
o COnsulting;
a telemarketing;
a data entry services;
a educatiOnal services.
Strategy Number 5
Provide skill development Opportunities and support
services.
People in the community must have the appropriate
skills and support services in order to benefit from
the 'wired' town infrastructure. Technological and
entrepreneurial training must be provided if the
'wired' town program is going to result in economic
and business development in the municipality. New
entrepreneurs need access to information on markets,
trends, suppliers, statistics, legislation and
regulations, marketing, procurement and contract
opportunities.
Strategy Number 6
Use the 'wired' town infrastructure to support
teteworking.
ThIeworking allows people to work in their own home
community, whether at home, local shop or in a
telework centre, instead of in a facility in a remote
office. Teleworkers are linked to their work by fax,
telephone and personal computer with modem and
e-mail via telephone lines. Teleworking means that
people can stay in their home municipality to work
rather than having to move away for employment.
This keeps people and their families, along with their
talents and resources, in the community.
Some jobs that have a lot of potential for teleworking
are: analysts, consultants, researchers, advertising
workers, architects, civil engineers, counter clerks,
journalists, lawyers, market researchers, radio
newscasters, realtors, statisticians. systems
programmers, economists, publishers, and
stockbrokers.
The ClarenvilIe Telematics Strategy is intended to
build economic success one jOb at a time by devel-
oping and enabling community technology infrastruc-
ture and by increasing the skill level of the popula-
tion. It is a systematic and pragmatic approach to
local economic development which utilizes the lat-
est information technologies and puts smaller and
remote communities on an equal playing field with

Charging for the Public Library's Services
Part II: Establishing the Fee-Based Information Service
Vicki Whitmell
Publisher, The New Municipality
Following from Part I which discussed the argwnents
for and against implementing user fees, this article
explores the various issues involved in establishing
a fee-based library service and the role of the
municipality and the library board in ensuring its
success.
~~
Getting to Success
It is estimated that it can take up to forty percent of a '
library's staff's time to ensure that a fee-based
program is successful. Beyond conducting the
research and sending out the invoices, a great deal of
time and money will be spent marketing the service
and ensuring that the clients' needs are being met.
Initially time will be spent getting the staff and clients
used to the charges. There also will be time spent
selling the services without complete success.
Before establishing any Service the targetted client
group should be researched and surveyed. While there
maybe some evidence that a service is needed and
plenty of patrons may have told you that if such a
service was available they would be willing to pay
for it, evidence shows that few patrons who visit and
use the library are willing to pay to have others do
the work for them.
While it is best to hire a market research firm to do
the client surveys, your finances may limit you to
sending out a mail survey to potential clients in the
area to get some sense of which information serv-
ices they value most highly, and to identify those
which they would be the most willing to pay for.
This ini tial research should also clearly identify your
competition. There are a lot of competitors in the
marketplace, other than libraries, such as independent
information brokers and commercial document
delivery and information services. Competitors need
no longer be limited to your geographical area, as
information can easily be transmitted via the Internet,
e-mail, fax machines and couriers. (Remember that
your library staff must have access to and the ability
to use all of these delivery mechanisms well.)
Know your competitors and their products. You will
have greater success if you can offer a unique product,
perhaps based upon a specialized collection, that will
serve a niche in the marketplace.
Many private information brokers can operate less
expensively than those operating out of a public
library, as the cost of unionized staff, the maintenance
and development of print and electronic collections
and building costs are not usually borne by a broker
operating out of his or her home. 'The analysis of these
costs is particularly important if the fee-based
program is expected to operate on a cost recovery
basis.
Setting the Price
This is one of the most significant decisions regard-
ing your fee-based program. True cost recovery must
return all costs associated with running the program.
The identification of the costs, whether it be staff
and benefits, equipment, marketing and supplies, and!
or rent, heating, administrative overhead, and the
portion of the collection used to meet client needs,
will impact the prices charged to clients. Other costs
associated with fee-based programs may include that
of automated systems for billing and inquiry tracking,

telephone and data lines, professional development
and staff training, and property and liability
insurance,
If the program is not charged for such ilems as
administrative overhead, rent and heating, then it is
being subsidized for those costs which it would have
to recover ifit operated independently. If, as a result,
the prices are considerably lower than its competitors,
it could be accused of unfair competition. In addition,
if the program is expected to go beyond cost recovery
to returning extra revenue to the library, then the
prices charged will have to reflect this as well.
Accounting methods vary from institution to
institution and it can be hard to identity, for example,
the cost of purchasing parts of the collection used by
the fee-based program. 1bis is why it is very difficult
for most programs to answer the question as to
whether or not they are making money, since it is not
always clear as to what costs of the program are being
or should be covered.
lhe cost recovery expectations should be made clear
by the board and administrators before the program
is established and they should not change without
advance notice.
The organization's accounting methods may also
affect how the fees generated are spent If there is a
central method of accounting, the fees may be paid
into a central pot of money. The best method,
however, is to allow the staff to see the results of the
income it has generated, even if the revenue is going
elsewhere, as it will allow them to see the success of
their efforts and encourage them to continue.

Staffi ng
As discussed in part I, once fees are introduced, the
library must begin to operate more as a business. The
staff is also expected to operate in a different fashion.
Most programs have found it best to recruit at least
some staff members with experience working in a
competitive information environment, such as a
special or corporate library. 1bese people should have
experience working in a demanding atmosphere, with
time pressures and clients with precise and exacting
requirements. and should be familiar with keeping
track of their time and costs, setting billing rates and
marketing their services. They should also be willing
to work extended hours, as needed to salisty client
needs.
The New Mwticipality Winter 1997 v. 1. no. 2
Staff should have indepth subject knowledge and
the ability to evaluate, analyze and interpret data and
be aware of and, use resources, such as online and
CD ROM databases, external to the library's
collection. Often it will require staff with a hard-nosed
commercial attitude who are able to analyze all of
the program's activities in terms of their ability to
generate income.
All staff must have good interpersonal and
communication skills and be able to set priorities,
respond quickly and be able to evaluate and
repackage information. It should be recognized that
those staff who may transfer internally within the
library to the fee-based program may require
extensive training in order to make the transition
successfully. It may be unrealistic to think that such
a service can be set up with existing staff, who may
have to combine the service with their other duties.
There may be some reluctance among some staff
members, especially those who will not be working
in the fee-based service, to accept the new program.
These members must be helped to recognize that the
fee-based service can benefit the library in many
ways, not just financially. Having a justifiable
rationale with stated goals and objectives which have
been well-communicated to all staff members should
help them to accept the changes.
The Business Plan
Before deciding to set up a program, a business plan
should be prepared which will outline all of the
elements of the fee-based program. The plan will
describe the present library situation and outline the
needs. It will state the program's financial and non
financial goals and will describe the expected benefits
to the library of putting the service in place. The plan
will also describe the services which will be offered.
As mentioned above, public libraries charge for a
wide variety of services, ranging in price from a few
dollars for a reserve item or videotape loans, to a
hundred dollars or more per hour for consulting or
research. Not all services will be charged for however,
and il must be clear to everyone, the staff and the
users, which services will be charged for and which
will remain free. Although il can be difficult, there
may be instances when a service considered free at
first, becomes a service for which a fee will be
charged, For example, a request for an address may
11
be answered at no charge. However, if the client
requesting the address then asks for more detailed
information on the addressee, then the request should
be forwarded to the fee-based service. This requires
an understanding among all staff of the parameters
within which services are offered and requires
training on how the request should be referred.
The business plan should also outline how the fee-
based service will be organized. The services which
are most successful have at least some differentiation
from the other departments in the library. Often the
service may be associated with the reference
department, but it is likely to have separate staff and
may be physically separate. Many services have a
unique name and market themselves in a distinct
manner.
Policies and procedures may be different for the fee-
based unit Written policies outlining differences,
setting standards and outlining expectations should
be determined in advance and appended to the
business plan. Consideration should be given to the
impact of a fee-based unit on the library's current
operations. For example, collection development
policies may change in response to fee-paying client's
requests.
Care must be taken in preparing a detailed budget
with expenditure and revenue estimates for start up
and the first three to five years of operation. Start up
costs for consultants, staff hiring and training, market
research, marketing and equipment may come from
a central fund or external or special funding and
expectations may be made that it be repaid within a
few years.
Revenue projections will be dependant upon the size
of the client group, the prices charged and the
expected success of the marketing effort. Acomplete
and accurate analysis of costs is essential in setting
realistic financial goals. Remember that some costs,
such as salaries and benefits, will be fixed, while other
costs, such as online search costs and external dis-
bursements. will vary upon the number of requests
recei ved.
Consideration will have to be given as to how cli-
12
ents will be billed and how they will pay for the serv-
ices which they use,' For example, credit card, de-
posit accounts and monthly statements are all options.
The key to good rapport with clients is to be flexible
and to meet their needs.
The business plan should also consider the issues
surrounding the confidentiality of client requests and
professional liability. Legal advice may be needed.
Finally, the business plan should establish a
timetable for action, estimating completion dates for
major projects such as market research and set a
realistic time frame for measurement of success. It
is not unlikely that the program will be in operation
for two to three years before it is able to generate
enough business to meet its cost recovery goals.
Measures for success, both quantitative and
, qualitative are essential for evaluation of the program.
Different tools such as feedback farms and
testimonials, along with tallying the number of
requests, the amount of revenue generated and the
response time to requests, should be used,

Conclusion
The library board's role in the decision of a public
library to introduce fees for its basic or non basic
services is to ensure that a rational and focused
debate, free of emotion, be conducted. There are
many facets to the debate, ranging from the
philosophical to the economic and political, and
public policy decisions made at all levels of
government will impact the final decision.
Establishing a fee-based program with enhanced
services for specialized groups of users requires
thought and careful preparation. Not all programs can
and do work. Those that meet cost recovery goals
are those which have taken the time to plan carefully,
have made a sound decision based on research into
user needs and the competition, have the support and
commitment of the board and staff and have
developed a written, defensible plan, are the most
likely to succeed. Library board members and library
administrators must view such fee-based programs
as a business and evaluate them as such. 0

Commentary on Bill 109, Local Control of Public Libraries Act, 1997
and on the Regulation to Amend Ontario Regulation 26/96 Made Under The
Municipal Act.
By Stan Skrzeszewski, Senior Editor
Marilyn Mushinski, Minister of Citizenship, Culture
and Recreation has introduced new legislation that
will change the relationship between the local public
library, the municipality and the Government of
Ontario. Minister Mushinski has stated that the intent
of the legislation is to "eliminate duplication of
municipal/provincial services, to reduce costs and to
remove barriers" and to "guarantee free access to
libraries" and free use and borrowing of materials.
Essentially the proposed act transfers responsibility
for and control of public libraries to municipalities,
with the exception of the requirements for free use
and access.
The changes proposed in the new act and the
amendments to the MunicipalActdeal primarily with
three issut;S. These are: changes in library vision;
changes in library governance; and changes in library
financing
The following is a brief review and an assessment
of the changes.
1. Changes in Library Vision:
The current public library act, although not strong
on vision or purpose, does provide some general
guidance for the provision of public library services
in Ontario,
Section 20 of the existing act states: "A board, (a)
shall seek to provide, in cooperation with other
boards, a comprehensive and efficient public library
service that retlects the communities unique needs,"
Section 10 of the proposed act states:"A board, (b)
may cooperate with other boards to provide a
comprehensive and efficient public library service
linked to the province-wide public library network."
The proposed act takes what little provincial vision
existed for public library services and reduces it to
"may coopecate..," and may "provide." In other
The New Municipality Winter 1997 v.I. no. 2
words, the proposed act becomes a minimalist
administrative document providing no overall vision
for the role of the public library in the Province.
Minister Mushinski's letter of January 15, 1997
points out that under the proposed legislation
"Municipalities are being given full authority to
provide and effectively manage library services in
the community." This is not quite true-
municipalities are not given that control under the
Regulation toAmend Ontario Regulation 26/96 Made
Under The Municipal Act. It is now every
municipality for itself and inter-community
cooperation or province-wide cooperation while
pemtitted, is no longer required. In essence, the well-
to-do municipalities may be able to afford high
quality library services while the poor municipalities
may not. The Government is not fulfilling its role to
ensure that we do not have a division between the
information rich and the information poor in the
Province,
The public library community in Ontario worked
together to develop a comprehensive vision for the
future development of public libraries which is
outlined in detail in "One Place to Look: The Ontario
Library Strategic Plan." ltis regrettable that the new
legislation does not include any of the vision detailed
in that document. (Copies of "One Place to Look"
are available in every Ontario public library.)
2. Changes in Library Governance
The proposed legislation removes the current
requirement for citizens to form the majority of the
members of library boards. Under section 6 of the
proposed legislation municipal councils will now pass
a by-law establishing the size and composition of
library boards. Although it is most appropriate that
municipal councils be given the full authority to
13
create and appoint public library boards, it is not
appropriate for councils to exert full control over
them.
Public libraries exist to ensure that all citizens have
access to information so that they can gain knowledge
independent of any form of institutional or public
control. In this way citizens can make informed and
independent decisions about social, economic or
political choices and judge the decisions made by
the officials that they elect to govern in their interests.
In this sense public libraries provide a service that is
above elected governments.
Therefore, it is critical that the boards that govern
public libraries include citizens who are responsible
to the community of citizens, not to elected officials.
3. Changes in Library Financing
The Local Control of Public Libraries Act, 1997 no
longer guarantees free access to library services. In
fact section 14 states that "Aboard-may charge fees
for public library services in accordance with the
Municipal Act and any regulations made under that
Act."
Under the changes in the Regulation to amend
Ontario Regulation 26/96 made under The Municipal
Act, municipalities are being given full authority to
provide, fund and effectively manage library services
in their community except that:
(2) A municipality or local board does not have the
power under section 220.1 of the Act to impose fees
or charges for,
(a) admission of the public to its libraries;
(b) use by the public of its libraries' collections
in the library;
(c) borrowing from a public library, by
residents, of books and other printed material; and
(d) borrowing from a public library, by or for
residents with a disability, of material specially
formatted for persons with that disability.
Outside of the inherent contradiction in having
legislation that purports to transfer full authority for
public libraries to the municipalities and then states
that municipalities must not charge certain fees, there
are several fundamental problems with the
government's approach.
I~
First, the guarantees of free access must not be
considered in isolation. The Ministry has announced
that operating grants will be phased out over time
and, despite the fact that these consultations are still
in progress, the phasing out of operating grants has
already begun. For many public libraries. especially
those in small, rural and remote communities. the
provincial operating grants are fundamental to their
maintaining reasonable levels of library service.
Without the operating grants free access will likely
mean access to poor quality or declining quality
library services. Although the Province has reduced
funding it has not provided guidance in defining new
funding strategies for public libraries. Eliminating
provincial library funding while proclaiming free
access to public libraries is an abrogation of
responsibility.
Second, by prohibiting fees for "borrowing from a
public library, by residents, of books and other printed
material," public libraries will have to consider
charging fees for electronic and audio-visual services.
Fees should not be based on the medium or format
of the information. As Ontario is transformed into a
knowledge economy it becomes more and more
important that sources of information and knowledge
are made available to as many people as possible.
Public library user fees for electronic information
services will inhibit access to the information sources
that drive the new economy.
Third, electronic products such as CD-ROM
databases and Internet services can be more cost-
effective than either printed library reference tools
or expensive online database services. For this reason.
many libraries have not charged for the use of CD-
ROMs or access to the Internet and have promoted
their use by the public. Public libraries should not be
forced to charge fees on such cost -effective and useful
resources.
As with much of the new provincial legislation that
has had a major impact on Ontario's municipalities,
the real objective behind the legislation seems to be
to download the full costs of these services to the
municipal level. 0

Tips on Designing Your
Municipality's Internet Web site
Things to Consider Before Developing Your Web Page
. Decide on the overall message you want to convey and who
the page is intended for. Are you looking to attract tourists to
your community or trying to encourage new businessess to
locate there? Do you have some unique community de-
velopments that you want to publicize? Is your web
site intended to provide information on municipal serv-
ices?
. How do you want the page to look? Look at pages of other municipalites and
take lessons from good and bad sites. Two award winning sites in Ontario are:
Cornwall: http://www.city.comwall.on.ca
North Bay: http://www.city.north-bay.on.caInorthbay.htrn
. Do you have the tools at your disposal to create a website? Will you be creating
the page in-house or hiring a consultant? Decide who will keep the site up to date.
No matter who you choose to desing your web sit, make sure it is professional.
Design TIps
. Your first page must catch the attention of your visitor. First impressions are
important.
. While graphics are important to convey an image, too many graphics will make
your site slow and willliustrate your visitor. Use photose sparingly. A fast loading
time is important. Keep your website simple, nsing imaginative layouts and good-
looking typography to give your website a unique and identifiable look. What
works for printed materials such as brochures and newsletters will not necessarily
work for Web pages.
. Your site must have unique and useful content that is of value to your intended
audience. The following list of headings from the City of Cornwall site could be
used as a model for any municipality:
WELCOME A quick introduction to the Friendly Seaway City, including
a map of the area.

. Don't be overly commercial. Most people use the Internet for informa-
tion gathering. Include statistics and maps of your community. Remember
that the Internet is a very powerful tool for promoting local events and .
tourism atttactions.
. Your page should be easy to navigate, One rule of thumb is that content
should never be more than three clicks away.
. Keep the site updated regularly, encourage users to visit again and again.
. Allow the visitor a means to contact your community with an e-mail link
and provide contact information such as a mailing address and phone
number. Build inin an interactive part, such as a guest log book or a traffic
measurement
. Check the basics-relevant and correct links, good visual presentation,
and correct spelling and grammar.
. Make your website easy to find. Notify other neighbouring communities
of your website, those that might want to link to yours. Publish your web site
address (URL) on traditional media such as print ads, brochures and press
releases. Register your web site with the search engines on the Internet If
no one can find your site it will not be successful.
. Make sure that the links on your municipal page like to businesses and
services within your own community. Don't send people to other areas.
Before You Go Live
. Test the pages on other computers. particularly those 2-3 years old to
ensure that they can properly display your site.
. Obtain permission from the author for any copyright protected photo-
graphs or images. 0

Thank you for advising me of these matters which have the potential for

As you know my riding encompasses currently ratepayers of Courtice
Whitby as well as the CitYofOshawa. I am currently unaware of any

Mrs. Patti Barrie
Clerk
Municipality of Clarington

Bowmanville, Ontario
LI C 3A6
Dear Mrs. Barrie:
Please be advised that on April 30, 1997 the peterborough Victoria Northumberland and
C1arington Separate School Board duly resolved that the following mill rates be applied to
ratepayers in your municipality in 1997:
Residential Mill Rate:
383.24
Commercial Mill Rate:
450.87
These are the mill rates that should be used in the calculation of tax bills for Separate School
ratepayers. Please note that the mill rate calculation includes an adjustment for the prior year's
over/under levies. Therefore, we request that no adjustment be made to the mill rates shown
above.
The following assessments, as supplied by the Ministry of Revenue, have been used to determine
the mill rates:
Residential and Farm: 11,568,663
Commercial and Business: 832,529
If the assessment base in your municipality differs from that shown above, please advise us
immediately.
In addition, for some municipalities, the Board anticipates collection of the following amounts in
the form of payments in lieu of taxes that the municipality receives from other levels of
go;'ernmenl. These amounts are in addition to the amount collected by applying the mill rates
to the assessment base.

in addition to the amount collected by applying the mill rates to the assessment base. These are
estimated in the following amount:

To: MunicipllIilie5 in the Centnl North Study Area
RE: Correctional Fadlity Willing Host Siting Pro<:ess
The Ministry of the Solicitor General and COl'reCtional Services (MSOCS) is embarkIDg on a Search for
two potential host communities to locate (1) a new correctional facility in the Central North study area
within the boundaries of the Regional Municipality of York, the District of Muskol<:a and tlte Counties of
Dufferin, Grey and Simcoe, and (2) a new correctional facility in the Central East study area within the
boundaries of the Regional Municipality of Durham, and the Counties of Haliburton, Northumberland,
Peterborough and Victoria. This letter is being sent to YOIl because your municipality is in the Central
North study area. (See attached map)
. Purpose of the Ncw Facility
As pan of rebuilding the adult correctional institution Infrastructure In OntarIo, a new correctional facility
in your study area will be designed to house up to 1.200 provincial remand and sentenced offenders. In
addition to the operational benefits of modernizing the provincial prison system. the construction and
operation of the new correctional facility will contribute to total anticipated savings to taxpayers in the
order of $75 to $80 million per year under current development plans.
. Benefits to the Host Municipality
II is anticipated that constnlction of the Central North facility will commence this fiscal year and be
completed in 1999. This will involve the expenditure of approximately $75 million and the creation of
approximately 1.200 to 1,500 person years of construction and related employment When the facility is
operational it will result in about 300 pennanent jobs based on an operating budget in the range of $25
million annually.
. Expression of Vl'tIIingness
The correctional facility siting process provides an opportunity for willing municipalities and landowner(s)
(working in conjunction with each other) to become willing hosts for the proposed facility. This facility
can be located on land which is prIvately. municipally and/or provincially owned,
For an)' site to be considered, a completed Response Package clearly indicating your intcntion to he
a ,,-ilUng host i5 required by 4:00 p.m. 4 June 1997. Details for submitting a Response Package arc
prov;ded at the end of this letter.

· The Site Selection Process
~~
The evaluation of willing host sites involves a four step process to select a prefen:ed site as follows:
~,
Step 1 . Basic Mandatory Criteria
For a site to be considered funher. it must meet the Identified minimum criteria.
Failure to meet any of these basic mandatory criteria will elimInate the site
from the process.
Step 2 - Basic Comparative Criteria
Should Step I identify more than five sites. these criteria wlll be applied by
MSGCS to compare the sites to establish a short list.
Step 3 - De/ailed MandoJory Criteritz
Sites on the short list will undergo investigations conducted by MSGCS. Based
on these studies, detailed mandatory criteria involving specific natural features
will be applied to the sites. Areas having these natural featllres will be el>cluded
from each site. If, after el>c!uding these areas, a site still meets the minimum site
size and shape criteria, the site will cominue to the next step.
Step 4 . Detailed Conrparalive Criteria
The detailed comparative criteria will be used to compare the remaining sites in
order to select a preferred site.
MSGCS reserves the right in its sole dis<:retion to alter, suspend or terminate the site seloction
process at any time without further obligation or responsibility.

April 25, 1997
STATEMENT BY MAYOR HAZEL McCALLION
ON BEHALF OF THE GTA MAYORS AND CHAIRS
CONCERNING THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT CHARGE
LEGISLATION
MISSISSAUGA, ON. - Mayor Hazel McCallion, Chair ofthe GTA Mayors and
Regional Chairs Committee, today congratulated the provincial government for its
position on tbe proposed development charge legislation. In doing so sbe thanked
Mayors Ann Mulvale of Oakville and Don Cousens of Markham for leading the
negotiating team on behalf of the Municipal Mayors and Regional Chairs Committee.
The proposed amendments to the Bill will ensure that municipal governments can
continue to offer services to new residents without passing the costs to existing residents.
The proposed legislation would have placed an undue burden for the provision of so
called "soft services", things like community centres, parks and other communit},
amenities, on the shoulders of the existing taxpayers.
more
The proposals by the provincial government would have forced municipalities to reduce
the amount collected for "soft services" by 30 per cent, forcing municipalities to
drasticaUy reduce or delay the construction of much needed community facilities.
t:nder changes approved by thc government, the proposals have been amended to lessen
tbe burden.
_......... .......v ...VIO
ItllUurt ::; ut'l"'1(;E -t-t-t CLARINGTONMAYOR

The new rate of reduction will be set at 10 per cent. This, according to Mayor
McCallion, will allow for a more "planned" approach to the staging of the community
facilities. "We can work with 10 per cent", said McCallion.
Tbe other change approved by the government was to reduce by 10 per cent the amount
tbat a municipality can collect for transit that is required for new growth. "Although we
argued for no reduction". said the Mayors, "we accept that there must be a give and
take in all negotiations." This change means that Dew bus pu~hases wtII have to be very
carefully planned to ensure that sufficient funding is available. "These costs must not be
passed on to the existing homeowner," said the three Mayors.
r:fl!
Mayors McCallion, Mulvale and Cousens thanked Al Lcach the Minister of Municipal
Affairs and Housing for his commitment to the negotiating process and for placing his
faith in the ability of the GTA Mayors and Regional Chairs to negotiate this agreement
with The Urban Development Institute (UDI). "From the very beginning, Al Leach had
faith that we would succeed", said the Mayors, "He gave us the room and the time to
solve this very difficult issue and in the end, made the tough decisions that will
ultimately benefit all new homeowners in Ontario".
The negotiations on this legislation have gone on for more than three months and at
times often came to II standstill, Both the GTA Mllyors llnd Regional Chairs and the
CDI had very significant positions to put forward and each felt strongly about their
issues. In the end however, 20 issues that were on the table were resolved by the two
parties as part of the negotilltions.

"To come this far and have the thing fail was unacceptable," said the Mayors.lt took
some last minute discussions and an early morning meeting convened by the Minister to
bring the final positions to the table.
"We feel very good about this", said the three Mayors, "and wish now to move on to
other issues facing the GT A."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 24, 1997
MTJIIl1CIP.4.L ELECfRIC UIU..1TIES TAKE AJl\.1 AGAINST ONTARIO HYDRO'S ABUSE
OF MONOPOLY POWER WITH $~~-BILLION LA WSUlT
Goal to Deliver UJweT Electricity Rates to all CUSWmtTS
(TORONTO) .. Ontario's non.profit municipal electric utilities today launched a $5.2-billion
lawsuit against Ontario Hydro to stop the utility's illegal rates, subsidies and accounting practices
and to ensure that the province's electricity customers can enjoy lower electricity rates in the future.
A notice of Application was filed today with the Ontario Court, General Division. The municipal
utilities are seeking to have the application certified as a class proceeding. The action is being
launched by three representative plaintiffs on behalf of the province's 305 municip8I electric utilities
which purchase electricity from Ontario Hydro.
"Municipal electric utilities have launched this legal action to ensure that all customers - large and
small alike -- can enjoy the lowest possible electricity prices." said Kent Edwards, General Manager
of The Windsor Utilities Commission and President of the Municipal Electric A.ssoclation. the group
which represents the interests of Ontarlo's municipal electric utilities. "By achieving n court order
which Stops Ontario Hydro from violating the Power Corporation Act (peA) we can stop it from
abusing its monopoly powers and keeping future rates artificially high_ In tum, we believe Hydro
will be forced to change the way it 'does business and to become a true 10w-i:Ost producer, which will
result in lower rates for all customers."
Mr. Edwards said the municipal utilities have taken this action only after trying to curb Hydro's
behaviour through normal avenues, including Ontario Energy Board hearings. "Ontario Hydro has
ignored the recommendations of the Ontario Energy Board on these rates, just as it is now ignoring
the legislation established to regulate its behaviour," sald Mr. Edwards. "Based on the recent actions
of the utility, it has become clear that nothing short of a legal action will make Ontario Hydro operate
within the law."
Alan Mark. a lawyer with Goodman Phillips & Vineberg and lead counsel on the legal action. noted
that the action states that Ontario Hydro is over-charging municipal electric utilities and their 2.8-
million customers in order to fund the cost of providing three special rates and subsidies for its large
industrial customers. The appliclltion asks for injunctions to prevent Ontario Hydro from continuing
to violate the peA. and associated financial relief in the amount of S 145-million, which the
municipal utilities would use to provide rate relief to their customers.

In addition. the application claims that Ontario Hydro has made unauthorized withdrawals in the
amount of $5.05.billion from the Accumulated Debt Retirement (ADR) fund. which represents the
collective equity of municipal electric utilities and their customers in Ontario 1l:ydro. Taking money
out of this fund is prohibited by the PCA and, by doing so, Ontario Hydro hIlS arbitrarily and ilIe~y
eroded the equity ownership of their customers. The application seeks a court order preventing
Ontario Hydro from continuing to make such withdrawals, and asks that Hydro be ordered to repay
the fund in the amount of $S.OS-billion.
Mr. Edwards noted that this legal action - and Hydro's abuse of its monopoly powers as iii. means of
sustaining and expanding its monopoly.. unclerscores the need to move forward with electricity
industry restructuring: "We appreciate that the province is working on a restructuring plan, and that
We may see a formal response to the Macdonald Committee repott later this spring. Unfortunately,
Ontario Hydro is not waiting for the government to act. Instead. Ontario Hydro is out there covertly
trying to expand its monopoly."
Mr. Edwards noted that, in the meantime, all ratepayers are paying the price for Hydro's self.
preservation plan that will result in artificially high electricity rates: "That's why We believe
restructuring the electricity industry has to begin with putting an end to Hydro's monopoly and
introducing competition in the generation sector. We need to stop the bleeding now. so that Hydro
readies itself for competition at the lowest possible rates,"
He added that Hydro's illegal depletion of its customers' equity is funding the current rate freeze and
allowing Ontario Hydro to falsely claim that it is a low-cost supplier - a claim it is using to suggest
that major' industry restructuring isn't really necessary.
Anticipating a negative reaction from the large industrial users who benefit from the special rates
and subsidies, Mr. Edwatds stated categorically: "Municipal electric utilities do not advocate higher
rates for large industrial customers; nor do we believe that Hydro has to raise rates when, or if. the
court awards financial relief to the municipal electric utilities.
"There's millions of dollars in efficiencies yet to be mined from the monopoly," he notcd. adding
that Hydro continues to waste and mis-spend a lot of money. He pointed to Hydro's recent $60-
million investment in a retail customer service centre as an example of mis-spending, and he added
that many large industrial users support the need for industry restructuring and for an end to Ontario
Hydro's monopoly_

"Right now, Ontario Hydro is not merely trying to sustain its monopoly," Mr_ Edwards said. "Its ,.
business plan calls for aggressive growth in all of its divisions - so while the Mlll:donald Committee
states explicitly that Ontario Hydro should get out of the retail business, Ontario Hydro is spending
millions of dollllIS to expand its retail operations.
"It's true that the recommendations of the Macdonald Report are not government policy. But it's also
true that the government is going to begin to lose its discretion to make these recomlncndations
policy, or any policy in this area, if Ontario Hydro continues to abuse Its monopoly powers in order
to manipulate the outcome of the public policy process," Mr. Edwards said.
The next step in the legal action is fOf the eourt 10 set a date to hel\I' the motion for class action
ceotification. Following that hearing. a date will be set to hear the application.
The legislation allowing for class actions carne into effect in Ontario on January I. 1993. Class
actions are lawsuits in which the claims and rights of many people or groups. dermed as having
similar, but not identical interests. are decided in a single eourt proceeding brought by
representatives of the class. The representative plaintiffs in this action are The Windsor Utilities
Commission, Lincoln Hydro-Electric Commission. and Sudbury Hydro-Electric Commission.
Ontario's municipal electric utilities are municipally owned public utilities which distribute
electricity on a not-for-profit, business basis to about 75 per cent, or 2.8-million of Ontario's
electricity customers.

CURATOR'S REPORT
MUSEUM PUBLICA nONS
Mark detailed the changes that are occurring with the Museum's publications. CUROS
the journal will become an infrequent publication. Publication of CUROS has been

Newsletter will be produced approximately every six weeks and can be done quickly.
The Newsletter will emphasise Museum activities and exhibits etc.
CENTENNIAL EXHIBIT
The Museum is still looking for more artifacts for the Centennial Exhibit.
OTHER MA TIERS
Smaller exhibits will be mounted at approximately two month intcrvals. The major
empha~is at this time will be arranging the collection in the new building.

The Grand Opening is now in the press. and the Open House will run from 'pm - 4pm.
Board members setting up for refreshments are asked to be at the Museum by noon. The
remaining board members should be at the Museum no later than Ipm.
Refreshments for the Grand Opening will consist of a large slab cake. Valerie's husband

MUNICIPAL COUNCIL MEETING
Brian made a presentation to the Municipal Council March 24th and formally invited the
Mayor and Council to the Grand Opening. Brian stated that he will make sure that
proper credit for achieving the new building is given at the Grand Opening.
Fran asked about the security system for the new building.
Mark reported that the security system will be installed shortly.
Donald suggested that the Museum savings account balance be brought to zero and the
account used for the proceeds of the 50/50 draw.
** 97-14** Moved by Donald, Seconded by Valerie, that the Savings Account balance
be transferred to Fundraising and the account be maintained -for lottery
account use.
Carried.
Donald will be looking into telephone or computerised banking for the Museum. This
would allow for access to account balances, transfers etc. quickly and easily.
Donald apologised for arriving late and will be away for the Grand Opening though he
. will uy to attend the Book Sale.
Donald proposed computerisation of the Museum's Archival records, for public access.
Mark noted that the current printed records are easier to maintain with regards to security
of ~ information and the regulations of the Freedom of Information and Rights to
Privacy Act. Computerisation for public access of the enlire archival collection would

require a minimum of one Mini Computer system which is beyond the financial ability of
the Museum at this time. In addition to this, the proposal would require a full time data
specialist, with certification in records management, for at least five years to complete
sueh a project. Also there would have to be internal policies and direetives from
Municipal Council to set parameters following a thorough investigation of any legal
ramifications that may be involved as the archival collection contains a vast number of
records pertaining to local Munieipal Governments, medical records, other related social
reeords, education, and personal diaries and letters, which could compromise the
Museum and the governing authority. Currently Museum staff provide the first line of
seeurity measures to prevent any access to sensitive records. Once a researcher is on-line
to centralised data base we would have very little control over what could be
downloaded. As our current computer systems hold sensitive and personal information
including collections records and financial records no access to these systems can be
allowed for security reasons. These systems are also not large enough to handle the
proposed records management.
**97-15** Moved by Donald, Seconded by Fran, that the next meeting of the Board of
Directors be held on Tuesday May 6, 1997 at 7:00 PM.
Carried.
**97-16** Moved by Fran, Seconded by Donald, that the meeting adjourn at 7:51 PM.

Thank you vel}' much for your excellent presentation to the Infonnation SelVices Team
yesterday at the libraI}'. We vel}' much appreciate the time you took to familiarize us with the
Museum's historical and archival resources. We are ail now better infonned about local
resources and in future, we will be better able to assist our patrons. I particularly appreciated
the opportunity to learn more about the resources of a neighbouring community in Clarington.
It was unfortunate that several team members were absent due to illness; however, I will be
sure to pass on to them the handouts you provided for us. Copies will also be available in our
branches for staff use.

Dear Mayor Hamre and Members of Council:
As President of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM),I am
pleased to report on my activities over the past few months. This will be my last
report to you before the Annual Conferen'ce in Ottawa (June 6-9), where we will
celebrate our 60th Anniversary, out Diamond Jubilee.
After the Board of. Directors meeting in December, I attended the
National league of Citie~' Conference in San Antonio, Texas, where I discussed
issues of mutual concern, with representatives from American cities and
attended their excellent trade show.
On December12th, I represented FCM at the Joint Meeting of Ministers
of the Environment and Energy in Toronto. I delivered a speech to the Ministers
on the work of FCM's 20% Club and, shared FCM's position on policies affecting
the environment and the need for all orders ofgovemment to work cooperatively.
The Chairs of the meeting were very positive and indicated they would get back
to us by April. It was an historic opportunity for municipal governments to speak
directly with the Ministers on concerns that affect municipalities in Canada.
From January 8 to 20,'1 participated inthe Team Canada Mission to Asia
(Korea, Philippines and ihailand) with Prime Minister Chretien and the Premiers.
The highlight of the trip for rne was a private meeting with the Prime Minister and
the, Premiers to discuss the National Infrastructure Program and the $425 million
federal extension for.1997.General Agreement was reached on the need for
such a program and for work on traditional infrastructure - roads, bridges and
sewers. Five Canadian mayors accompanied me and subjects ranging from
infrastructure, citizenship ceremonies and environmental issues were discussed.
This was a unique opportunity to discuss municipal concerns with our national
and provincial leaders and was indeed a first for municipal government in
Canada.

I also met with Ihe Mayor of Seoul, Korea and talked about transportation
planning and pollution. In addition, the issues of APEC (Asian Pacific Economic
Community) were discussed.
In Thailand, I met with the Governor of Bangkok and participated in a
Round Table Discussion on Urban Issues. Traffic, flooding and environmental
problems topped the agenda; As President of FCM, I was able to provide
information about Canadian initiatives and pledged to continue to work with
officials of these cities to enhance economic development and the generation
of technical exchanges.
In early February, I had a propitious meeting with the Prime Minister's
Chief of Staff, JeanPelletier (former FCM President) aboul issues of interest to
FCM. .
On FebruCiry17th, I participated in the official, launching of the
Community Leaders Partnership Program,(CLPp) with Deputy Prime Minister
Sheila Copps (Minister of Canadian Heritage) and Mayor Leopold Belliveau
among others~ This program is mOdelted after our successful 1991 _ 1992
Community Leaders Exchange Prograro,inwhich many members participated
across Canada. The program' involved seven to ten participants from each
participating municipality; municipal leaders, business leaders and students
exchanging ideas and expertise. FCM is pleased to be working with our partners
in the private sectOr (Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the Royal Bank), as
well as Canadian Airlines ang Air Canada, who have helped us by providing low
cost airfares as an incentive to assist our members/non-membersin accessing
the program;'
On February 18th, I participated in the Federal Budget "lock up" and
reviewed the budget with federal Finance officials in Ottawa. Although there
was no extension of the existing infrastructure program, the dollars announced
in January were a step in the right direction. A long term strategy for
infrastructu~e is, however, needed in Canada. FCM received good news
coverage - CBC Radio, CBC Newsworld, etc.
I met, with Don Boudria, Minister responsible for International
Cooperalion andla Francophonie. As the Canadian International Development
Agency funds our International Office, itwas a good opportunily to discuss
FCM's contribution to local government, around the world and the benefits both
for Canada and developing countries.
It has given me much satisfaction as President of FCMto work closely
with the Presidents of the 17 ProvinciallTerritorial Municipal Associations
through the Presidents' Caucus established last September. The Presidents
playa key role in assisting FCM in sharing our concerns with the respective
ministers.

ATTENTION:
Mr. R L. Willsher
Chairperson of the Board
Dear Mr. Willsher:
On April 1611t we advised you of our position regarding your efforts to prevent Mrs.
Connor from participating in your closed meetings. At that time we requested
confirmation that your board had rescinded its motion. To date, we have not received
your reply, which is inexcusable in the circumstances.
Indeed, in the interim we have learned that your board has attempted to secretly set aside
over $340,000,00 to pay retirement gratuities to staff members who are not entitled to
retirement gratuities, as they are not teachers.
When will you come to your senses and realize that taxpayers' money is public money (not
to be spent on your secret projects) to be used to educate our children. Fattening the
already huge compensation paid to administrators does absolutely nothing to help our
young people,
Yours very truly,
.,A3...".:ii....~jt..;

Agreement Reached on the Infrastructure Works Program
THE ISSUf::
AMO has learned further details on the agreement reached between the Federal Government and the
Government of Ontario on Phase 2 of the Infrastructure Works Program.
THE FACTS:
On Friday May 2,1997, the Province and the Federal Government reached an agreement on the renewal of
the Canada-Ontario Infrastructure Works program for the 1997-9B fiscal year. Program highlights are as
folloWS:
. the goals of the program are to provide funds to allow for renewal of physical infrastructure and to generate
valuable short and long-term employment
total value of the program will be $459 million allocated as follows:
funding will be directed to hard services, limited to transportation (which may include provincial
roadways), water and sewer (especially where health concerns raised) or community health facilities
(e.g. extended care, facilities for seniors). Municipalities must spend in one of these three priority
areas.
$263 million to municipally-related programs ($183 million exclusively to municipalities in a "top-up"
program where projects identified by municipalities, $BO million for community health. Municipalities
will be approached about their interest in participating but municipal participation in these health
projects will not be mandatory).
$113 miliian in total for health and education related projects ($58 million for colleges and universities
and $55 million for health care facilities).
$83 million will be used exclusively by the Province for provincial purposes related 10 rural and northern
highways (not 400 series or transferred highways. It is believed the Province will fund the municipal
1/3 share).
allocations to municipalities will be based on a per capita basis

Munici al Alert:
A reement Reached on the Infrastructure Works Pro ram
eligible projects will focus on repair and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure (I.e. new buildings would
not be eligible)
projects proposed by municipalities must be received by the Canada-Ontario Infrastructure Works Program
In time to be approved no later than December 31, 1997
STATUS:
The Ministry of Transportation will lead the program's implementation. Early this week, a lelter will be sent from
the Minister to all municipalities providing further details abollt the program.
AMO is pursuing clarifications on a number of issues, including:
the allocation process (e.g. Will every municipality be entitled to funds or will the allocallons be made at
the upper tier level?)
the process for having projects approved (e.g. Do municipalities have to apply? What happens to the 600
or so projects never initiated in Phase 1? What are the eligibility criteria? Does the Province approve/have
final say?)
timelines (e.g. When do applications have to be received? When do they expect the approvals to be
finalized?)
policy on unused municipal allocations (e.g. What happens If a municipality does not use their allotment?
WiIIlhe unused portion go to the upper tier? Would unused municipal allocations remain within the "top
up" component of the program ($183 million)?
,
that there are no limitations on how much can be spent on anyone priority area (i.e. that a muniCipality can
spend 100% of their allotment on water and sewer)

Non-resident ele<:tors will no longer qualify to
vote in an election for school board purposes.
The likely result ofthis change is the need for
an Rdditional ballot face to be ,..ed either for
non-resident electors, eliminating the school
buanl ofl1ccs, or, Ibr school bourd Omce3,
which would require tho voting place at,lftn
be trained with rll.!pe<:t to the distribution of
ballots.
Other impacts relative to the determination
and distribution of trustees and responsibility
for the conduct of elections for each of the
school board, would appear to be issues that
will be determined by regulation. AMCrO
will be asking Its team of election experts to
provide an analysis of these regulations at the
earliest possible date.
VOTRRS' UST CHANGE TRACKER
The Municipal Elections Act 1996 requires the
Clerk to produce and distn'bute an interim list
of changes to the votm' list within 10 days
after Nomination Day to all candidates and
those who requested a voters' list in writing
under Section 23(3). The Act also requires a
certified flnallist of changes up to the close of
voting on voting day to be sent to the
Usessment commillsioner on a date yet to be
prescn'bed. In addition, the Clerk needs to
tRke changes to the voters' list into
considerstion when deciding how many ballots
to be printed for each electoral group.

Election, AMCTO and Productivity Primers

The Corporation of the Town of Deep River
P,O. Box 400

, pO'ENDA
~~U
Dear Mr. Mayor:
Th8nk you for your letter of March 6, 1997. regarding further discussions between the
Corporation of the Town of Deep River and the federal government concerning an
agreement on siting a proposed low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) disposal facility in
Deep River.
While we have made progress toward defining a framework for discussion, your letter
shows that key issues still remain, particularly reiarding the waste volumes and the scope
of the project.
Siting Process
In terms of process, I assure you that the federal government remains committed to a
CO-operative, open and voluntary siting process. I am pleased to note that you agree that
closed negotiating sessions may be appropriate on occasion, provided there are valid
reasons for confidentiality. '
Signhig Process
As fur the signing process, in particular, you have indicated that the town agrees with the
signing process that I proposed, with SOme amendments that need to be discussed.
Additional Wastes
...
You have noted that the town is not willing to include volumes in excess of those defined
in the Community Agreement-in-principle (CAP) in discussions at this time. Yau do,
however, mention that the town would, at some future date, give serious consideration to
additional wastes.
Canada
rILE No. 719 04/23 '97 10:45 lD:MIN NRCAN
6139472362
-2-
During our discussions in the fall of 1996, the federal government indicated its preference
for an integrated facility that would be able to accommodate low-level wastes:other than
those identified in the CAP. ! believe that it is important to explain why we took sl!ch a
position; it remains fundamental as we go forward from here. '
The Siting Task Force process and the CAP focused on the wastes from Clarington,
Hope TownsWp and ,Port Hope, as well as some historic material already at Chalk River
and a small amount of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited's ongoing packaged wastes. ft
became clear to the federal government that we needed to take a broader view. While the
Port Hope area wastes are our immediate concern, we also recognized the need to,f1nd a
comprehensive solution for LLRWfrom several sources.
Clearly, such an approach would be more cost-effective and could engage the participation
of other waste producers. !WS approach would thus be a better solution for all
stakeholders and would be more fiscally responsible.
This would require the development of a LLR W facility with a capacity to accommodate
about 1.5 million cubic metres of bulk and packaged low-level waste. Such Ii. facility
would operate over a 40-year period. The additional volumes would come from a number
of Canadian waste producers, some of whom woufd participate in the development of the
project The Government's position has been that these additional volumes must be
included in any legal agreement with the town.
Before the project could proceed, any waste producers taking part in'it would have to enter
into a legal agreement with the federal government on the tenus of their participation in the
evaluation phase of the project. Regarding these additional wastes. I assure you that any
future disposal facility would be designed and operated to meet all applicable health, safety
and environmental regulations and guidelines.
Town Costs
As for the matter of the town'g costs of participating in the negotiations. the Government
continues to be willing to provide the Town of Deep River with a contribution to fund your
participation in negotiations, provided there is common ground for continued discussions
md a common understanding on the purpose of the funds requested. ~

Time Frame and Prollonents
As 1 indicated in my January 22, 1997 letter to you, the federal government would !ike to
move forward quickly on discussions and to clarifY the issue of the proponent as .
discussions proceed with the town and with other interested parties. Be assured that the
federal gOvernment will take the lcad role in negotiations until such time as a proponent is
identified.
I believe that these issues generally require more discussion and that it would be helpful if
our negotiating teams could meet to explore them further, In Particular. 1 believe that there
needs to, be better understanding oithe basis of discussion that we have put forward in
tenns of waste volumes and,scope of the project as well as your concerns in that regard.
I have asked Mr. David Hill, federal negotiator, to contact YOU to discuss arranging a time
and place for a meeting.
Again, thank you for writing,
Yours sincerely,

BACKGROUNDER
Financial Advisory Board
A Financial Advisory Board, (FAB) made up of individuals who are experts in the areas
of finance cmd administration, has been established to help with the move fo a unified
city.
Board members are Jack. Pickard. fonner Metro Toronto treasurer; Val Gibbons, a
former provincial deputy minister; and Cy Armstrong, former chief administrative officer
of Edmonton and Hamilton-Wentworth.
Expenses of the Board will be paid by the province.
The role of the Financial Advisory Board is to review and make comments, if
necessary, to existing councils on budgets and spending during 1997. The intent is to
keep taxpayers informed of any budgetary actions taken by existing councils which may
adversely affect the operations of the new city.
Items which might come to the FAB's attention include decisions which significantly
exceed or deviate from approved budgets, unplanned-for major purchases or sale of
assets and long-term staffing commitments. In this way, municipal assets will be
protected for the benefit of citizens.
Now that the City of Toronto Act, 1997 is law, each current municipal council is to
submit to the FAB:
final operating and capital budgets for 1997;
a statement of actual capital and operating expenditures for the 1997 first
quarter; and
forecasts of operating expenditures for the 1997 second, third and fourth
quarters.
The Board does not have the power to approve municipal budgets. If it has concerns, it
will communicate them to existing councils or local boards. The council will be able to
revise its budget and modify its spending plans or confirm its original budget and
maintain its planned 1997 spending.

The Board will also put new procedures in place to monitor transactions. Guidelines
will be established by the Board for SOme or all of the following transactions which the
existing municipalities may wish to engage in. Guidelines would apply if municipalities
wish to:
. sell or purchase property worth more than $100,000;
. transfer or change the purpose of reserve funds;
. enter into contracts or liabilities extending beyond 1997; and
. make staff appointments and undertake tenninations.
Councils will be able to implement actions already approved in the municipal budget.
The Board will automatically disband on January 31, 1998.

Dear Mayor Hamre:
RE: SUMMER/FALL 1997 AIRPORT CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM
During the late spring to early fall months, a significant volume of construction projects take
place at Lester B. Pearson International Airport. As part of this year's "Summer
Construction Program", extensive work is scheduled beginning May 1st through to the end
of December, weather permitting. The construction consists of eleven individual projects
ranging from continuation of work on the satellite de-icing facility to completion of the new
Runway 15R133L.
The consrruction schedule was developed on the premise that those phases of the work which
require closure of operational runways or taxiways will be completed at night or on weekends.
While this will result in some changes in normal runway usage during these times, the
operational impact will be minimal as demand is at its lowest.
There are two major projects scheduled that may result in a noise impact on the airport's
surrounding communities due to abnormal runway utilizations:
· Dual Taxiways Phase 1 - parallel to Runway 06R124L
· New Runway I5R133L connection to Runway 06L124R
The enclosed fact sheet provides details related to these projects _ specifically the dates and
times when work will take place and residential communities that may experience a change in
airport operations as a result of this work. This information will assist you in responding to
your constituents' queries on this matter.

ensure that noise abatement procedures are being followed. The Noise Management Office at
(905) 676-4531 or (416) 973-7849, can deal with any additional concerns expressed by callers.
Should you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Janik Reigate,
Government Liaison Coordinator at (905) 676-4035.

GREATER TORONTO AIRPORTS AUTHORITY
1997 AIRSIDE CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM
Two major construction projects will be on-going throughout the spring, summer and fall. One is
construction of a dual taxiway system between the Terminal 2 apron and the south east-west
parallel runway and the second involves connection of the new north/south runway to the current
north east-west parallel runway.
The dual taxiway project is set to begin May I and will continue through to October 31. Work
will be done from 7:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., nightly from Sunday evening to Friday morning. The
southern parallel runway will be limited to operations on one end of the runway, normally
arrivals.
The north/south runway project is scheduled to start May 12 with a September 15 completion
date. Work will be done nightly, from 11 :00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., Sunday to Friday, and from I 1:00
p.m. Friday to I :30 p.m. Sunday afternoon, and will require the northern east-west parallel
runway to be completely closed.
The start and completion dates of these projects may vary because of weather conditions during
the construction season.
Late evening and restricted hour aircraft operations may have to increase because of the reduced
capacity available when runways are closed or limited to one direction of operations. Air Traffic
Services will continue to use preferential runway operations northwest and southwest of the
airport from midnight to 6:30 a.m. whenever possible, consistent with safety, wind and weather
requirements.
The GT AA will be working with Nav Canada, air carriers and construction staff to ensure the
runway utilizations resulting from these construction projects are temporary and that normal
operations will resume as soon as possible once work is completed.
The Noise Management Office at (905) 676-4531 or (416) 973-7849 is available to respond to
inquiries and provide updated information on construction progress throughout the summer.
Details of the temporary changes in aircraft operations on each of the six flightpath areas
are listed on the reverse.

I am writing to tell you that the govenunent has accepted a number of proposals from the
Association ofMWlicipalities of Ontario (AMO) that will allow us to meet our goals of bringing
education costs under control. providing better services for taxpayers and easing the pressure on
residential property taxes_
When we announced our Who Does What initiative in January, we had three fundamental goals.
One was to reduce taxes by controlling the spira1\ing costs of education. The second was to
reduce taxes by disentangling the duplication and delivery of services between the provincial and
municipal govenunents, making them more efficient and less costly. And the third goal was to
bring tax fairness to the people of this province regardless ofthe municipality in which they live.
Municipalities expressed concern about the impact of changing the funding formula for welfare
and having municipalities take responsibility for long term care. We told A.1VlO and other
organizations that we were,willing to listen to altematives, as long as they met our three goals.
AMO has responded to that challenge, and brought forward ideas that will allow us to achieve
our goals: I am very pleased to tell you that the govenunenl is adopting these ideas. We have
accepted almost all the proposals put forward by AMO.
If the legislature approves, we intcnd to cut residential education property taxes by 50 per cent.
Tax rates will be provincially set and be consistent throughout the province. Tax rates will be
frozen. In exchange, we will give municipalities control (lver services that can best be delivered
locally.
This shift in responsibility for education costs would allow us to deal with municipal concerns
about welfare and long term care. The provincc will continue to be fully responsiblc for long
tenn care. We will also pay 80 per cent of the cost of welfare benefits and child care, with
municipalities picking up 20 per cent. To offset municipal concerns about the state of repair of
social housing stock to be transferred to municipalities, the province will invest more than $200
million in capital upgrades.
/2
- 2-
At \be same time, we will move ahead with our decisions to disentangle o\ber duplicated
services. AMO and the government have agreed on the proposed division of responsibilities for
other services, including policing, roads, public health, scwer and watcr, local transportation,
libraries, ambulances and \be administration of provincial offences.
I very much appreciate the work of AMO in bringing fOIWard these thoughtful, constructive and,
carefully considered recommendations. I believe this a good example of a government working
with its partners in the best interests of all the people of Ontario. These changes will pave the
way for efficiencies leading to better services, more accountable government and lower property
taxes in \be future.
I am enclosing for your information a news release and background material on today's
annoWlcement. You will receive further infonnation as we move ahead together to implement
these changes.
Sincerely,
AI Leach
Minister

IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 1, 1997
WHO DOES WHAT: A NEW PARTNERSHIP FOR TAXPAYERS
(Queen's Park) - The provincial government has adopted a series of proposals to
bring education costs under control, provide better services for taxpayers and ease
the pressure on residential property taxes, Premier Mike Harris announced today.
The final Who Does What initiative is based on a package of recommendations'
submitted by representatives of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO).
"From the start, we have been open to the best ideas for meeting the goals of
taxpayers," Harris said. "The spiralling education bureaucracy must be brought
under control, so that we can focus resources in the classroom to improve the
quality of education for our students.
"Taxpayers are also demanding better, more efficient and accountable service
delivery, to ease the burden on their residential property tax bills."
Pending approval by the Legislature, the province will accept the AMO-led
municipal proposal to cut residential education property taxes by 50%, while setting
a provincial mill rate on the remaining 50%. We will also announce a freeze on
that education portion of residential property taxes.
"In addition, we have listened carefully to AMO's concerns about the impacts of Our
earlier proposals and we have acted on them," Harris said.
To address those concerns, the province will retain full responsibility for all long-
term care. The goverrunent has also agreed to an 80/20 cost sharing formula for
welfare benefits. Further, to offset concerns over the state of repair of social housing
stock, the province will make an investment in capital upgrades of more than $200
million.

"Just as importantly, this package ensures that local services, such as municipal
transportation and sewer and water services, are delivered by municipal
governments, which are best able to identify and respond to local needs."
Altogether, the Premier said, the outcome is a clear win for all Ontarians, paving the
way for efficiencies that will provide for better services, accountable government
property tax reductions in future years.
"It is also evidence of a government that listens and works co-operatively with its
partners, as we committed to do," Harris said.

Additional funds of $42 million will be provided to the Ontario Housing Corporation for capital

Mackenzie, Amherst, Pelee Island and Howe Island (2 ferries). These ferries primarily meet
local fraffic needs or link local roads. The Province will retain responsibllty for the Glenora

Since Long Term Care will not be cost-shared and municipalities will be responsible for only
20% of the costs of Social Assistance benefits. the level of the Fund has been reduced to
reflect lower needs.

needs related to water and sewerage facilities, which will be owned, operated and financed

will be maintained until the end of the program in 1998-99. The costs associated with septic
tank inspections will be assumed by municipalities.
Transition Assistance
Under the Municipal Capital and Operating Restructuring Fund. additional funding of at least
$227 million will be provided to assist municipalities in restructuring initiatives, for a total of
$BOOmillion. Additional funds will be available based on demonstrated need.

Sr..:BJECT.' Delegation of Approvals and Plan Review Functions ALL WARDS
From the Region of Durham to the City of Oshawa
1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this report is to:
(a) request that the Province and the Region initiate those actions which are necessary to
delegate to the City the final approval authority for draft plans of subdivision and
condominiums, consents to sever and the lifting of pan lot control: and
(b) request that the Province and the Region initiate those actions which are necessary to

1.2 Initiatives on Local Autonomy Over Local Planning Matters
The latest changes to the Planning Act were as a result of Bill 20 which received Royal Assent
on ~1ay 22. 1996. A stated intent of Bill 20 was to further streamline the planning process and
give more control and autonomy to municipalities.
By lener dated November 18, 1996, the Honourable Al Leach, Minister of Municipal Affairs
followed up the stated intent of Bill 20 by circulating for comment a document entitled
"Streamlining the Planning Approvals Process; a Model for Enhancing Local Control Over
Planning Decisions; Proposed Exemption Implementation Strategy" ("Exemption Strategy").
The stated goal of the "Exemption Strategy" is to "enhance local autonomy and to streamline
decision making by eliminating unnecessary overlap and duplication". A stated intent of the
"Exemption Strategy" is to implement a community based planning model. which allows greater
autonomy in making local planning and development decisions.
2 -
')')-
_<.J;)
The "Exemption Strategy" sets out a proposed implementation schedule to exempt Regional
Official Plan and amendments from the need for ministerial approval. The "Exemption Strategy"
also allows the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to authorize the Region to exempt
area municipal Official Plans and amendments from the current Regional approval process.
in response to the "Exemption Strategy", on January 20, ] 997 Council considered a report of the
Commissioner of Development and Planning Services, dated January 3, 1997, Item No. 6.97.
and directed:
"1. That City Council advise the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing that it supports the
proposed strategy and timetable for exempting upper tier official plans and amendments from
ministerial approval and also strongly supports provisions to enable the exemption of local
official plans and amendments from upper tier municipal approval.
2. That City Council advise the Region of Durham that it wishes to obtain an exemption of the
Oshawa Official Plan and amendments from regional approval and that appropriate City staff
begin discussions with the Region of Durham to facilitate this exemption.
3. That a copy of the report of the Commissioner of Development and Planning Services. dated
January 3, 1997. Item No. 6-97 and City Council's resolution. be forwarded to the Minist!}
of Municipal Affairs and Housing. the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and the
Region of Durham."
On January 28. 1997, Regional Council, in response to a report of the Regional Planning
Commissioner. dated January 21. 1997. Report No. 97-P.I3. resolved that:
(a) it supports the Pro\'ince's proposal to exempt the Regional Official Plan and amendments
from Provincial appro\'al;
(b) upon authorization of the Province, amendments to local Official Plans meeting certain
criteria be exempt from Regional appro\'a!: and
(c) procedures to implement the foregoing be put in place in anticipation of an enabling Order
from the Province.
Neither the "Exemption Strategy" nor the aforementioned report of the Regional Planning
Commissioner speak to the delegation of other planning approvals from the Region to the area
municipalities such as plans of subdivision and condominium, Consents to sever and the lifting of
part lot control.
The Region of York delegated much of its development control approval authority (eg. draft plan
of subdivision and condominium, consent to sever) to its area municipalities in 1995. The Region
of Peel resolved in 1996 to delegate draft plan of subdivision and condominium to its larger
municipalities. implementation of the delegation is currently underway.

2.0 INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES
This report has been reviewed by the City Manager and the Commissioner of Public Works
Services.
3.0 ANALYSIS
3.1 Capabilities of City Staff
The City has an experienced and professionally qualified staff that process, review and
implement all planning matters whether the City is the final authority or a commenting agency.
This staff includes Registered Professional Planners (R.P.P.), Professional Engineers (P. Eng),
Professional Landscape Architects (O.L.A.) and an Arborist. The City staff includes others who
have over 20 years practical "hands-on" experience with management and conflict resolution.
planning. engineering and environmental issues. The City has and will continue to utilize other
professionals, as necessary, on a very limited basis to provide specialized expertise (eg. soil
contamination). The vast majority of development approvals, however. fall within the expertise
and experience of staff.
City staff currently process, in a professional, expeditious and capable manner, those planning
applications for which the City is presently the final approval authority namely rezoning, site
plan and Committee of Adjustment applications
3.2 Delegation of Approvals
3.2.1 Principles for Delegation of Approvals
This Department fully supports the concept of vesting the authority for local planning decisions
at the local level thereby reducing duplication and streamlining the development appro\'al
process.
The reasoning for this position is based on the following set of principles:
(a) The final approval authority should rest with the level of government most affected by the
outcome of a decision.
(b) Final approvals vested with an upper tier municipality should be delegated to a lower tier
municipality if the lower tier already has the final approval authority on other planning
matters of a similar nature or magnitude (eg. rezoning, site plan, Committee of
Adjustment).
. 4 -
9....7
_J
(c) Each level of approval should add value and not simply provide a co-ordination or
monitoring function, '
(d) If lower tier municipalities can co-ordinate intra-municipal issues related to planning
maners which are currently approved by the lower tier, an upper tier approval structure
Cannot be rationalized on the basis of co-ordinating intra-municipal issues.
(e) The final approval authority must be capable of making a sound decision and co-ordinating
and balancing the Comments of the public and all technical agencies,
(0 The administrative resources including staff and staff time associated with planning
approvals should be minimized.
(g) A lower tier municipality should not be hindered from recei\'ing a delegated approval from
an upper tier government solely because other lower tier municipalities do not want or
- Cannot accommodate the delegated approval.
(h) A lower tier municipality should be allowed to utilize its staff resources and administrative
resources to the fullest extent possible and should not be required to pay for upper tier staff
or committees to do a similar job or a job that could be accommodated by the lower tier.
(i) A "one-window" approval process should be advanced. Planning appro\'als for a single
project should not be split amongst approval authorities. If some of the approvals are
vested with the lower tier municipality. all of the related approvals should be vested with
the 100ver tier.

amendments.
3.2,4 Local Official Plan and Amendments

3.2.5 Draft Plans of Subdivision
The Region is the current final approval authority for draft plans of subdivision and
condominium.
However, it is City staff that actively advances, mediates and resolves issues. This approach has
been followed for many years, It ensures that no major issue exists when City Council considers
the approval of the zoning amendment as well as a recommendation to the Reg'ion on the draft
plan of subdivision. City staff generally process implementing rezoning applications
concurrently with draft plan applications. The City also implements and enforces most of the
Region's draft plan conditions through its subdivision agreement.
Based on the foregoing and in the interests of streamlining the development approvals process,
the final approval of draft plans of subdivision and condominium should be delegated to the City.
This delegation has already occurred or is being implemented in other Regions (eg. York, Peel).
The Region should be a commenting agency to the City.
3.2.6 Consents to Sever
The Region has the approval authority for consents to seYer. The Region also administers the
land iJivision process, While the City is a commenting agency. the City does most of the work to
resoh-e planning and engineering issues associated with consents. Our work and conclusions are
reflected in our comments to the Land Di\'ision Committee,
,
There is little justification for the Region to continue to administer. re\'iew and decide on
consents lO sever in Oshawa, Consents to se\'er by their nature are generally a local matter. The
City should be the appro\'a1 authority and the Region should be a commenting agency, In this
process the Region could advise the City to have regard to certain DROP polices which have
general applicability across the Region.
Consents would be administered by department staff and decided by the Committee of
Adjustment.
3.2.7 Exemptions from Part Lot Control
The Planning Act prevents parts of lots or blocks on a registered plan from being conveyed
without :!.ppropriate approval. This is referred to as Part Lot Control. The Planning Act however
allows municipalities to pass by-laws exempting lands within a registered plan from part lot
control. There are instances where it is more convenient and less expensive to remove part lot
control to facilitate certain types of transactions rather than following the land division process.
For example. part lot control exemption is usually granted to facilitate the conveyance of half of
a semi-detached building.
The Region is the final approval authority for the lifting of part lot control.

The City, not the Region, has an application that must be submitted which requests that the City
pass a by-law lifting part lot control. Any by-law must be forwarded to the Region for fin~l
approval. This adds time and unnecessary duplication to the approval process.
Historically, City staff do most of the research and work and resolve all matters before a by-law
is considered by City Council and forwarded to the Region.
Based on the foregoing, the final approval of part lot control by-laws should be delegated to the
City,
3.3 Transfer of Provincial Plan Review Functions
3.3.1 Provincial Plan Review Functions
Provincial review functions generally fall into three main categories:
(a) Plan review - commenting on Provincial policy and legislative requirements. For example,
the need for a land use permit if the proposed development is adjacent to a Provincial
highway,
(b ) Technical review/clearance - review and appro\"al of technical studies submitted in support
of development applications, For example, wetland impact study.
(c) PermiL/certificate issuance - issuance ofa Provincial permit.
3.3.2 Overview of Transfer of Provincial Review Functions
The Commissioners of Development and Planning Services and Public Works Services report
dated ~larch 4. 1996. Item Nos. 34-96 (D&P) and 21-96 (P\V). advised their respective
Committees and Council that:
(a) The Province and the Region were discussing the transfer of plan re\'iew and technical
review functions to the Region and that the Regional Planning. Works and Health
Departments report 96-J-5 dated March 5, 1996 recommended that Regional Council accept a
"Province Of Ontario Regional Municipality Of Durham, Memorandum Of Understanding
Regarding The Administration Of Provincial Planning Review Functions" ("Memorandum").
(b) The Province's actions were initiated through the introduction of amendments to the
Planning Act that reflect the Province's intentions to reduce its involvement in developinent
approvals under the Planning Act. The Province has taken the position that much of the work
done by Ministry staff can readily be assumed by either the Regional municipalities or the
area municipalities or agencies (eg. Conservation Authorities). The Province sees this action
as a way to reduce duplication, improve client service and enable Provincial downsizing.
- 8 -
241
(c) The area municipalities and the Conservation Authorities were meeting with the Region to
discuss the further delegation of Provincial review functions.
The report of the City Commissioners included a chart indicating those plan re\'iew functions
that area municipalities were already doing or would be interested in discussing for possible
transfer from the Region. A copy of the chart forms Anachment No. I to this report. It clearly
shows that the City of Oshawa and other area municipalities in Durham were interested in
pursuing the transfer of plan review functions.
On March 13, 1996, Regional Council authorized the Regional Chair and the Regional Clerk to
execute the above noted "Memorandum". On April 17, 1996, the Province executed the
"Memorandum". A copy of the executed "Memorandum" forms Anachment No.2 to this report.
One of the stated purposes of the "Memorandum" is to establish an iterative, ongoing process for
eliminating duplication of plan review and to identify opportunities for further streamlining the
approvals process. The "Memorandum"' also jointly commits the Province and the Region to
explore options for creating alternative plan review mechanisms and procedures which result in a
more cost-effective, streamlined and efficient approvals process. The initiatives outlined in this
report related to delegation of certain functions to the City are consistent with the purposes of the
"Memorandum".
3.3.3 Status of Further Transfer of Provincial Review Functions from the Region
$
The report dated March 5, 1996, Report 96-J-5 to Regional Council indicated that ,.... Regional
staff are meeting with staff of the Metro Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, the Central
Lake Ontario Conservation Authority. the Lake Simcoe Region Conser..ation Authority and the
Area Municipalities to discuss which agency should assume which Provincial planning
functions. It is the Region's objective not to be invoh'ed in commenting on Pro\'incial policy on
zoning, site plan and minor variance applications",
These discussions proceeded through 1996 to assess the potential for further delegation of plan
review functions from the Region to area municipalities and agencies.
On September 10, 1996, Regional Council authorized a Partnership Memorandum between the
Region and the five Conservation Authorities with jurisdiction in Durham, including CLOCA,
The Partnership Memorandum sets out that the Conservation Authority will provide comments to
the Region on the following: natural heritage features, stormwater management plans, the need
for permits under the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act and the need for a fisheries
compensation plan under the Federal Fisheries Act.
The report from the Regional Commissioner of Planning dated September 3, 1996 Report 96-P-
83 on the Partnership Memorandum with CLOCA states that "Discussions are continuing with
the area municipalities on the further implementation of the Delegation of Review."

3.4.4 Position of Cit). Staff on Transfer of Plan Review Functions
As reflected in Attadunent No. I City staff want to discuss the further transfer of plan review
functions from the Region in order to advance good customer service, a one-window approach to
planning approvals, streamlining and the reduction of duplication.
The Planning Act obligates the City to have regard to Provincial Policy in respect to all types of
development applications whether the City is the final approval authority or nol. As noted
earlier. the City performs these plan review functions now related to rezoning, site plan, and
Committee of Adjustment applications.
The Department feels that in order to implement the Province's goals of streamlining and
disentanglement, additional plan review functions should be delegated and performed by the
City.
As stated, City staff are experienced and have a range of professional accreditations. There is no
reason City staff, within their current roles and responsibilities. cannot be delegated all
Pro\'incial plan review functions.
It is recommended that the City advise the Region of Durham that it wishes to discuss transition
procedures that will see all Provincial plan re\'iew functions transferred from the Region to the
City by December 1. 1997.
4.0 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The recommended delegation of final approvals for draft plans of subdivisions and
condominiums, consents to sever and the lifting of part lot control and the transfer of plan review
functions would be accommodated within the current allocation of staff. There may be some
education and training costs. but these can be accommodated within existing budgets.
It should be noted that in the "Memorandum" the Province committed to provide adequate
training and education to the Region to carry out plan review functions. It is expected that this
same arrangement would apply to area municipalities who undertake additional plan review
functions.
5.0 CONCLUSION
In order to enhance local autonomy, implement a community based planning model. streamline
the decision making process and eliminate duplication the City should pursue the delegation to
the City of all final approval authority for OP's and OPA's, draft plans of subdivision and
condominium. consents to sever and the lifting of part lot control from the Province and the
Region and the transfer of all former Provincial plan review functions.

6.0 RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended:
I. That the Council of the Corporation of the City of Oshawa request the Province and the

and condominiums. consents to sever and the lifting of part lot Control.
2. That the City of Oshawa request the Province and the Region to initiate those actions
which are necessary to transfer to the City all of the Provincial plan review functions
which are currently available for transfer including those which have already been
transferred to the Region by December I, 1997.
3. That a copy of the repon of the Commissioner of Development and Planning Services.
dated April 3. ] 997. Item No. 23-97, be forwarded to all area municipalities in the Region

Deal" Mayor Hamre,
My name is Joanne Manning and I am a resident of Clarington,
as well as a school teacher at S.T. Worden Public School in
Courtice. I am writing to you to express my gratitude, and the
staff at S.T. Worden's appreciation of, the full-time professional
firefighters in Clarington.
On numerous occassions we have called upon the fire dept. to
fulfill various tasks and they have always been accommadating and
obliging. Many times these firefighters are off-duty and still
willingly lend a hand to promote a stronger bond between school and
commLlnity. Most recently, my grade 6/7 class and I had the goc.d
fortune of a visit from Lucky, the firedog, and his off-duty
escort, Mr.Ken Ostler. After the visit, the students wrote down
their thoughts about our visitors and I have included some of their
comments. I think you will enjoy reading what your'young
constituents think of our public employees. Our school's Fun Fail"
is c:oming up on May 3rd, and once again the firefighters have not
disappointed us. We are guaranteed a visit from Lucky and there
will also be a fire truck display and demonstration, put together
by MI". Ostler. I would like to point out that none of the above
would have been possible if it were not for Chief Creighton and
Deputy Chief Hesson, who have always readily given their approval
to better develop a sense of community.
In closing, I would like to thank you for allowing me the
opportunity to communicate with you and inform you of the great
thIngs that are happening in your area. I believe these men have
proven repeatedly, to being dedicated prOfessionals, commited to
serving our community.
'/2:'" ours truly, ..

Dear Mayor:
With the season of spring come many wonderful things: green grass, flowers, and warm
temperatures that drive people outdoors for walks, During a walk on the new trail in Aspen Springs
behind Dr. Ross Tilley Public School, some other things that are uncovered with spring became very
noticeable: garbage (and lots of it!) and dog feces.
It is believed that much of this garbage is produced by the contractors building in Aspen Springs as
well as the children attending the school. Who is responsible for cleaning it up and how can this
pr()blem be avoided in the future? Does the municipality have by-laws concerning littering and
"poop-and-scoop"? Do you think the visitors to our community are impressed? Could you please
look into these important matters?
Trusting that this problem will be rectified,
Several concerned residents,

Dear Ms, Barrie:
At its regular meeting of March 26, 1997, the Clarington Public Library Board adopted a revised 1997 current and
capital budget The Board approved this budget for submission to Council
The Library Board's revised current budget request for 1997 is $910,608.00. This request is hereby submitted to
Council in accordance with By-Law 85-85,
,
'I
II
f
II
The detailed budget adopted by the Board is background material for this request That documentation has been
submitted directly to the Municipal Treasurer for inclusion in the overall current budget materials,
;'1
In submitting this budget the Library Board is endeavouring to work with Council to maintain the current levels of
public library service to all residents of the Municipality, This reduction from the initial request was made possible
by the delay in the opening of the Coutlice Library and also the removal of funds from the contingency line as
instructed by Council, The Board's concerns were alleviated by the assurance that the Municipality will assist the
Lihrary Board should an emergency arise, The Board would like to thank Council for their continuing support for
library service in Claringlon.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Madam:
Your local Child Find chapter is preparing for the sixth annual Green Ribbon of Hope campaign, During the
month of May, ribbons are available in many of the businesses in our community, It is a goal of ours to
increase public awareness of missing children, and to show support to families and friends who are waiting for
a child to be found. The Durham chapter would greatly appreciate your involvement in this year's campaign,
The ribbons were fIrst worn by students and faculty at Holy Cross Secondary School in St. Catharines,
Ontario, These people were actively involved in the search for Kristen French in 1992, The colour green was
chosen because it represents hope, The people involved have since directed Child Find to use the green
ribbon as their symbol.
Child Find Ontario Inc, is a registered non-profIt charitable organization that was established in 1983, The
mandate of the organization is to educate children and adults about abduction prevention as weIl as to assist in
the search for missing children.
There are several ways that you can show your support for Child Find and to increase public awareness of
missing children. We would greatly appreciate it if you would be able to do the following:
I) proclaim Mayas, "Child Find's National Green Ribbon of Hope Month," and May 25 as "National
Missing Children's Day"
2) ask your colleagues to wear green ribbons during the month of May
The Child Find volunteers in Durham and throughout the country fIrmly believe, "A missing child is
everyone's responsibility." We truly value any support that you can offer to our nationil ~~~~TfON-
Sincerely, . 0..___,__

Dear Friend,
I don't want to upset you, but this can be the reality of multiple
sclerosis.
Wendy, a vibrant woman in the prime of her life, is one of the
50,000 Canadians who have been struck by this cruel disease.
I've seen what MS does to people like Wendy -- the loss of balance,
numbness, extreme fatigue, blindness -- even paralysis, Their lives, and
the lives of their loved ones, are devastated,
Not everyone with MS experiences all the symptoms. Unlike
Wendy, some are able to continue working, ,But all must face the
uncertain future of life with a disease that can get worse at any time,
Unfortunately, there is no cure. Not yeti But, there is real hope
that by working together we can beat MS. I really believe that __ and I
want you to believe it too,
Many thousands of wonderful Canadians have already sent
generous donations to the MS Society, Their gifts have helped us fund
top-notch medical researchers across the country who are looking for a
cure toMS,
We have made progress. Our medical researchers are learning
more about multiple sclerosis every day. They are making use of the

most advanced medical technologies, such as magnetic resonance imaging

Tens of thousands of your fellow Canadians with MB cling to the
hope that a cure is on the wa;y. They need your help to make it happen.
Your donation, whether it's $20, $25, $30, or more if possible,
will be put to work immediately to fund more MS research,
Together, we can and we will beat MBI Thank you so much for
considering my request.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Ms. Barrie:
The Lung Association is one of Canada's oldest health charities, and the Durham Region office serves
thousands of Durham residents each year.
Of key interest to The Lung Association is the quality of air we breathe. During the month of June, we will
be focusing on air quality issues, and providing individuals with real things they can do to improve the quality
of air they breathe, both in their homes and outdoors.
We are requesting that Clarington Council proclaim June 1997 as Lung Association Clean Air Month.
C.A.N, DO - The movement for Clean Air Now is The Lung Association's official environmental health
program. We believe that the more people care about the air, the more we can all do about the air we share.
To launch Clean Air Month, The Lung Association is hosting its charity Fresh Air Fair & Walk at Whitby's
Heber Down Conservation Area. Numerous fun, family-oriented activities will help participants to learn about
what they C.A.N. DO to improve their air.
I have attached a suggested proclamation for your convenience, but please contact me if you require any further
information, ~
Sincerely,
,I ~-~~~~

Your assistance in promoting the importance of clean air for healthy lungs to Clarington Council and to the

AGENDA
RE: NEW SHELL-HOUSE
DURHAM ROWING CLUB
Dear: Ms. Hamre:
The Regional Affairs Committee meeting of March 25 gave me a welcome opportunity to bring
you up-to-date on the activities oCthe Durham Rowing Club and our current endeavours to have a
SheIJ-House built for the coming rowing season.
I have enclosed a sununary of the material as presented, highlighting the needs and potential of
rowing in Durham. both as a recreational activity for all segments of the population and also as a
contributor to life-style and economic development. Demand is high for increased programming to
include children, high school, adult and seniors; for non-<:ompetitive and competitive activities; for
hosting regional, provincial and national events; and as a training venue for the World Rowing Cup
in 1999,
The Club has five racing shells and two coachIsafety boats. Without a fucility, a Shell-House to
properly care for this equipment, our programming cannot expand, indeed, survive,
We have been provided with the site for the Shell-House at Rotary Parle, Port Perry by the
To\\nship of Scugog, together with financial assistance, We have an active fundraising campaign
underway including many community initiatives throughout the Region and a corporate
sponsorship drive. Our target is $50,000,
I would appreciate further discussion with you and your appropriate representatives to pursue
mutual opportunities for programme development and to explore funding assistance. Shared
resources for the overall enrichment of the quality of life in the Durham Region will ensure the
Durham Rowing Club's continuance and open the door to our participation in the economic
advantages and profile of hosting regional, provincial, national and international rowing,events, ,-- .-----. _'I

Dear Ms Barrie
Re: Extension of Oshawa Transit Commission Bus Service into Courtice
Since January 1997, discussion for the potential extension of Oshawa Transit
Commission's route 2 into Courtice have been ongoing. Included in the
discussions were Mayor Diane Hamre, Councilors Larry Hannah and Mary Novak,
C.A.O. W. H. Stockwell, Director of Public Works Stephen Vokes and from
Oshawa Transit Commission Chairperson Nester Pidwerbecki and General
Manager Norm Tweedle.
Oshawa Transit Commission was suggesting that its route 2 King Street service
could be extended into Courtice eastbound along Nash Road, south on Courtice
Road and westbound along highway 2 back into Oshawa, on a thirty minute
frequency, seven days per week. There would be no operating cost for this service
passed on to the Municipality of Clarington and up front expenditures for signs,
public schedules etc., would be minimal for the Municipality.
It appears that progress on this project has come to a halt. This correspondence is
to advise that Oshawa Transit Commission would still like to offer this service to
the residence of Courtice. As such, Chair Pidwebecki and the general manager are
Page 2

Ms p, Barrie
BOWMANVILLE, Ontario
willing to further discuss this issue either with your Council or a Committee of
Council in order that a formal decision can be reached, hopefully in favor of the
residents of Courtice.
Would you please direct this correspondence to the appropriate office for action. I
look forward to your response.
Yours truly

AGENDA
Dear Mr. Belanger;
RE: REQUEST TO RECOGNIZE TOWN OF COURTICE
(MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGPON) IN TELE-DIRECT WHITE
PAGES RESIDENTIAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY
I'm a resident of the Town of Courtice, which is in the
Municipality of Clarington and writing in my capacity as Co-
ordinator of the Clarington Industrial Development Coalition. To
date, I have received several requests from Courtice residents
wishing to have the Town of Courtice listed in the white pages of
the telephone directory. For your information, Courtice
residents are currently listed in the Oshawa white pages.
As you may be aware, the Municipality of Clarington has a
number of smaller towns whose populations are less than Courtice,
but yet have their own Town listing in the white pages. The Town
of Courtice has a population of approximately 15/000+ residents,
and by any standards is a large, vibrant, and unique community.
However, many Courtice residents are frustrated at the lack of
local identity, and in a recent telephone survey/ 96% of Courtice
residents expressed support for Courtice having status in the
Durham white pages. The fact remains that many smaller
communities, in terms of population, have their own section in
the white pages, and we are officially seeking the same for the
Town of Courtice.
InqUiri8C:
Our organization will be circulating a petition in Courtice,
and will forward a copy to your attention to be filed in
connection to our request to have Courtice listed in the Durham
white pages. Your cooperation and attention to this matter is
appreciated, and look forward to an opportunity to meet so that
we can discuss this issue and ascertain what can be done to
accommodate our request.

And under cover of this letter, we are seeking the
Municipality of Clarington's support in adopting a resolution to
recognize the Town of Courtice in the Durham white pages. The
community petition will be circulated starting the week of April
27, 1997 and I anticipate forwarding a copy to your attention in
the next couple of weeks.
In the interim, I would appreciate through the good graces
of your office, if you would set-up a meeting to discuss this
matter further. Once again, we loolt forward to your cooperation,
and trust that Bell Canada and its partner, Tele-Direct can
assis our co unity in this matter.

Memorandum
Hn I 4 Os PH '97
To: Ontario Municipal Clerks
From: Leah Casselman
President, Ontario Public Service Employees Union
Date: April 24, 1997
Subject: RiIll06 and nive.'ltment of Property Tax Asse.'lsment
This letter is respectfully submitted for consideration and discussion by
Ontario municipal councils.
The Ontario Public Service Employees Union represents approximately
1,800 professional property tax assessors and related staff. Our members'
years of experience in the day-to-day front-line work of property assessment
form the basis of OPSEU's informed opinion on property tax issues.
According to statements by the Minister of Finance in January, the next
few weeks will see the introduction of new legislation that will put the re-
sponsibility and cost for property tax assessment squarely on the shoulders of
Ontario's municipalities. This is part of the downloading of provincial ser-
vices envisioned in the "Megaweek" announcements of January 13-16, 1997.
If this downloading goes ahead, it will happen at the same time that
Actual Value Assessment is being introduced across the province through Bill
106,
As it is written, Bill 106 calls for a complete reassessment of all proper-
ties in the province by April, 1998. This is a monumental task. It is the largest
single reassessment ever contemplated in North America.
The provincial assessment system is designed to produce reassessments
on a four-year cycle. We submit that the consequence of attempting to accom-
plish the entire reassessment within approximately 18 months will be nothing
less than chaos.
The "Who Does What" committee, hired by the government and headed
by David Crombie, stated that:
"... the transfer of assessment service delivery should occur when the
revised assessment system has stabilized so as not to jeopardize the
accuracy and quality of the assessments nor undermine the integrity of
the process. ..
.../2
~
Of course, there are good arguments in favour of keeping property tax assessment
at the provincial level. In large part they are the same reasons that led to the creation of
the provincial system in 1970. Leaving those aside, however, it is absolutely clear to
property tax assessors that in the midst of the most important reassessment in the his-
tory of Ontario, now is IlQJ: the time to transfer the assessment function from the prov-
ince to the municipalities.
Any new assessment system must be introduced in an environment that is as stable
as possible.
If the province succeeds in downloading services like social assistance, long-term
care, and provincial highway maintenance (to name just a few), municipalities will be
faced with the awesome logistical task of setting up new bureaucracies, dealing with
human resource and labour relations issues, acquiring and installing new technologies,
and so on. In the midst of all this, the last thing municipalities need is to be trying to
build and manage a new property tax assessment system. Ours is the one system that
delivers the lifeblood to all municipal programs. It is snicidal to tamper with it at a time
when so many other factors are in flux.
To meet the artificial reassessment deadline contained in Bill 106, the government
has begun contracting out the work of provincial property tax assessors to companies
who will be allowed to hire individuals with as little as one day of training in property
assessment.
As professionals in the field, OPSEU members are, quite frankly, horrified by this
development.
The working level Ontario Property Assessor is normally a college graduate in
Assessment Administration with five years' of successful work-related experience.
People off the street cannot be expected to do this work in a professional manner. The
quality of assessments is at stake. Indeed, some assessors have already been told to
ignore standard quality control measures. We expect many more standards will be
flouted as the April, 1998 deadline draws near.
The completely predictable result will be bad assessments. A tidal wave of appeals
will follow, Municipalities will be on the hook for all the related costs of the appeals
process.
Will your tax base be eroded by court decisions because a fully qualified, profes-
sional property assessor was not used to detennine property values?
This does not have to happen. Bill] 06 is not yet law. The downloading has not yet
taken place. Municipal councillors have an opportunity to make an impact now --
before it's too late.
We suggest municipal councillors take two steps at this time.

As part of your communications with MPPs and ministers of the government around
Bill J06. we urge you to call on the government to amend the bill to phase in the new
assessment system over a four.year period at the very least. This will help ensure a
professional assessment and, consequently, the lowest possible number of appeals
aftelWards.
We further urge you to communicate with the Association of Municipalities of
Ontario. some of whose members are currently in talks with the government over the
shape downloading will take, They are in a strong position right now to persuade the
government to delay the downloading of property tax assessment until the reassessment
is complete.
A final comment: property tax assessors fear that the downloading of the assess-
ment system is being rushed through with such haste in order to leave municipalities
with little option but to contract the work out. AI; discussed above, we have serious
concerns about the quality of assessment that will result. But we would like to mention a
few facts about the relative costs of contracting out versus having the work done by
professionals in the Ontario Public Service.
Private assesssment being done right now in Ontario is done on a piecework basis,
at a cost of about $30 per inspection. Inspectors can often do over 20 simple inspec-
tions per day. At $30 each, contractors will bill the taxpayer for $600 per workday, on
average. In contrast, fully qualified professional property tax assessors earn between
$123 and $194 per day, plus benefits, In other words, the cost to taxpayers is more than
double.
Thank you in advance for your action in support of quality professional property
tax assessment in Ontario.
Respectfully yours,
UlJ

Colin Soutter, 2374 Highway #2, R.R. #6, Bowmanville,
L 1C 3K7, circulated a copy of his presentation dated May 5, 1997
wherein he states that he and his spouse are not here to oppose the
current application because his dealings with the applicant have been
cordial and concerns relative to a previous application have been
addressed to their satisfaction, He believes the proposed commercial
recreational plans to be good for the community as it will generate
employment opportunities and revenues, He noted that his concerns are
two-fold: first he and his wife have discovered that living in the centre of
a major construction zone has a number of negative connotations and,
secondly, he fears the negative financial impact that rezoning may have
on his property, He requested that:
I
I
I
I
.
future construction activity consider the presence of a private
home in the developer's site preparation plans;
the developer take the necessary care to minimize the impact of
the future construction activities on our environment; and
any cost incurred by well contamination be assumed by the
developer,
.

He concluded by requesting that consideration be given to changing the
Official Plan Amendment Application to include his property for rezoning,

REPORT NO.: TR-35-97
PAGE 2
For the information of Council, the Municipality of Clarington paid
approximately $41,000 to Jack Burgess Plumbing for Plumbing
Services during 1996. This $41,000.00 is comprised of
approximately $27,000.00 for labour and $14,000.00 for parts.
With respect to the low bid submitted by Brant Doyle Plumbing
Services, staff have investigated the references provided, and
although satisfactory service has been provided, there are concerns
with respect to the apparent lack of relevant previous experience
with contracts of this nature. There is also concern with respect
that Brant Doyle as a sole proprietor with no employees, being able
to respond adequately to service the needs of the Municipality.
Although Mr. Doyle has agreed to hire additional employees, should
he become unavailable for work due to volume, substantial
disruption to Municipal facilities would occur in the the interim.

2. BACKGROUND AND STAFF COMMENTS
2.1 In September of 1992, Canadian Tire Real Estate Umited completed construction of
a warehouse format store in what is now the Bowmanville West Main Central Area.
The site plan was approved with approximately 42,000 square feet. An amendment
to the site plan was subsequently approved which permitted the development of a
5200 square foot 'seasonal" sales centre. This resulted in a total floor area of 47,200
square feet for the existing Canadian Tire.
2.2 The approved site plan and the approved amendment also include an approved
expansion area to the south of the existing store on the lands owned by Canadian
Tire Real Estate Umited. This approved expansion area consists of an additional
26,000 square feet of floorspace of which 6500 square feet is allocated for the Motor
Vehicle Repair Garage with the balance being retail floorspace. In addition, the
current zoning permits a Motor Vehicle Fuel Bar with 300 square feet of f100rspace
although Canadian Tire Petroleum has never made an application for site plan
approval with respect to the fuel bar.

2.3 A complete application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law was received
on April 7, 1997. The applications contemplate a 61,000 square foot expansion to
the store which would result in the ultimate size of the store being 103,000 square
feet This expansion is comprised of the following:
. 27,000 square feet on Canadian Tire Real Estate Umited lands
. 34.000 sauare feet on Clarinaton and 829426 Ontario Inc. lands
. 61,000 square feet total
The westerly expansion as proposed by Canadian Tire Real Estate Umited would
eliminate the future Clarington Boulevard as identified in the Clarington Official Plan

2.4 829426 Ontario Inc. has provided their written consent for the application insofar as
the application applies to their current land holdings. However, Canadian Tire Real
Estate Umited has not obtained consent from the Municipality.
2.5 The Planning Act does not appear to prohibit any person from making an application
for an official plan amendment or a zoning amendment on land that is NOT OWNED
by that person. However, it is a common practice of most municipalities, including
Clarington, to require the owner's consent to make such an application.
2.6 Staff is not authorized to give consent for any application which affects and
contemplates the sale of municipal property. Accordingly, we are seeking direction
from Council with respect to the processing of these applications.
Two options are presented for Council's consideration:
. Council could refuse the applications to amend the official plan and the
zoning by-law on the grounds that the Municipality is not prepared to declare
Clarington Boulevard as surplus land. Without getting into the merits of the

application, Council should be aware that the Municipality only acquired these
lands in 1997 through a dedication of these lands from 829426 Ontario
Umited (Markborough Properties Ltd. and West Bowmanville Developments
Ltd.) for public highway purposes. The merits of this street was thoroughly
reviewed under the scrutiny of an extensive Ontario Municipal Board Hearing.
Given the time and expense the Municipality went to in order to secure this
street as a vital part of the transportation network, it would be difficult to justify
that this land is now 'surplus'; or
. Council could provide consent for the application to be processed on a
'without prejudice' basis in order to allow for the consideration of the planning
merits, if any, of the application.
'~o;;,:
2.7 The municipal lands proposed by Canadian Tire Real Estate Umited for their store
expansion are also subject to By-law 95-22, the by-law prepared under the Municipal
Act governing the sale and disposal of municipal lands. In accordance with the by-
law, there is a detailed procedure for determining that the land is surplus to the
needs of the Municipality. Before reaching a final decision on the applications,
there would need to be concurrent consideration of whether the municipality deems
the lands to be surplus, their value and the method by which they would be
disposed.
4. CONCLUSION
4.1 This report is presented to advise Council that an application has been made to
amend the official plan and the zoning by-law on lands owned by the municipality.
Two options are presented for Council's consideration:

REZONING APPLICATION - 1151233 ONTARIO LTD.
PART LOT 26, BROKEN FRONT CONCESSION, FORMER TOWNSHIP OF
DARLINGTON - OSBOURNE ROAD
FILE: DEV 96-022
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration
Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-65-97 be received;
2. THAT application to amend the former Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning
By-law 84-63, as amended, submitted by Tunney Planning Inc. on behalf of
1151233 Ontario Ltd. be APPROVED as per the attached by-law;
3. That the Holding (H) symbol not be removed until such time a site plan
agreement has been executed with the Municipality;
4. THAT a copy of this report and Council's decision be forwarded to the Durham
Region Planning Department; and
5. THAT all interested parties listed in this report and any delegation be advised of
Council's decision.
1. APPLICATION DETAILS
1.1 Applicant: 1151233 Ontario Ltd.
1.2 Agent:
Tunney Planning Inc.
1.3 Rezoning Application:
from "Holding - General Industrial ((H)M2)" to an appropriate zone
to permit the establishment of an automotive dismantling and parts
REPORT NO. PD-65-97
PAGE 2
warehouse, distribution and sales establishment (motor vehicle
wrecking yard) in addition to other uses permitted in the 'M2" zone.
1.4 Land Area: 3.8 ha (9.39 ha)
2. LOCATION
2.1 The subject property is located on the north east side of Osbourne Road where
it runs parallel to the Canadian National Railway line. The property is further
described as being located in Part Lot 26, Broken Front Concession, Former
Township of Darlington.
3. BACKGROUND
3.1 The subject rezoning application was received, together with an application for
site plan approval, in May, 1996 and was circulated to a number of agencies and
departments for comment. The applicant is proposing to rezone 3.8 ha of (9.4
acres) of the total land holding, 12.3 ha (30.35 acres), for the proposed use.
3.2 The applicant currently operates an auto wreckers establishment in a
neighbouring Municipality and is looking to relocate his business. The proposal
differs from his existing operation, and most auto wreckers currently operating
within the Municipality, in that the cars are to be dismantled and the various
salvageable parts are warehoused in a covered storage area. The applicant has
suggested that the only outside storage required will be for vehicles waiting to be
dismantled. This has been identified as the "Holding Area" on the site plan. The
building has been designed to fully encompass the holding area and completely
screen the outside storage.

3.3 Resident's Concerns
A Public Meeting for the subject application was held July 2, 1996. Three people
spoke at the public meeting and presented letters expressing concern or
objection to the application. Their concerns are:
i) lack of municipal services in place;
ii) the roads are narrow;
iii) there is a high water table;
iv) the subject lands are located beside the Waterfront Trail;
v) contaminants from the auto recycling operation would drain onto adjacent
lands and impact well water.
One individual supported the application if it is environmentally sound.
In addition to the above stated issues, the letters received outlined the following
concerns:
i) Osboume Road and Solina Road are both very narrow and are subject to
frequent on-street parking associated with the four Hydro soccer fields and
Manheim's Auto Auction;
ii) Osbourne Road forms part of the Waterfront Trail, therefore pedestrians
and cyclists will be in conflict with the additional traffic generated on the
narrow road; and
iii) concern was expressed for the future use on the balance of the land
owned by the proponent and not inCluded in the application.
3.4 Meetina with the Resident and the Applicant
In January 1997, a meeting was held with the applicant, his agent and three of the
neighbouring property owners to discuss concerns and objections to the
application. The applicant explained that he is re-Iocating from Whitby, where the
land his current business is situated on is draft approved for residential
development. In addressing the concems, the applicant advised as follows:
REPORT NO. PD-65-97
PAGE 4
i) Use of Additional Land
He does not envision ever requiring more than the area presently being
rezoned. Vehicles received at the proposed establishment will be
dismantled and salvageable parts only stored on-site. The carcass of the
automobile will be sent to LASCO, not stored on-site. The balance of the
land will be rented out for agricultural use.
ii) Contamination
Vehicles brought on site will be brought into the building and drained of
fluids before being put outside in the holding area All work on the vehicle
will be done inside the building. This is intended to eliminate soil
contamination from the operation.
Hi) Security
In response to a question with respect to security, the applicant suggested
the storage building, surrounding the development, will provide a physical
barrier, plus he will use an internal surveillance system. The additional
traffic and employee presence should provide an increased level of security
to this isolated area The applicant advised that although he will be open
to oft-the-street customers, his main market will be body shops looking for
parts. He plans to employee 15-16 people and deal with about 600
vehicles a year.
iv) Road
The applicant advised he had prepared a road study which had recently
been submitted to the Municipality.
v) Servicina
The applicant advised he was having an engineering study done to deal
with drainage and site servicing.

3.5 Enaineerina Report
On April 17, 1997 the Municipality received a Soil and Hydrogeological
Investigation Report in support of the proposed Auto Recycling Facility. Eighteen
(18) boreholes were drilled on site ranging in depth from 3.2 metres to 11.0
metres. In addition, well records, for 18 wells in the vicinity of the subject lands
were reviewed. The site is generally underlain by strata of silty clay and silty clay
till overlying a stratum of sandy silt till. The permanent groundwater regime lies
at a depth of approximately 4.0 metres, and is subject to seasonal fluctuations.
The upper 5.5 metres of the soil stratigraphy has a low permeability. Therefore
based on the above, the potential for environmental impact is low. Due to the
native soils a raised septic system is recommended for the site. Bedrock was
generally encountered at approximately 30 metres. An adequate supply of
ground water may be tapped from bedrock or sandy aquifer to provide for the
needs of the business without impacting neighbouring land owners. The report
recommends a concrete or non-permeable floor for the plant where the vehicles
are drained of fluids and dismantled.
4 EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES
4.1 The existing site is currently vacant and is used for agricultural purposes.
4.2 Surrounding land uses are as follows:
South: Osbourne Road and the Canadian National Railway line
East: agricultural operation with residence
North: agricultural operation with residence
West: agricultural operation with residence
5 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
5.1 Within the Durham Regional Official Plan the subject property is designated
Employment Area. Said designation permits among other uses, manufacturing,
assembly and processing of goods, as well as warehousing, and storage of
f' '.
REPORT NO. PD-65-97
PAGE 6
goods and materials. Section 5.3.20 states that limited infilling or minor
expansion to existing development may take place in urban areas on private
services subject to conditions. The application would appear to conform.
~;._~
5.2 The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject property as Ught Industrial
within the Courtice Urban Area. The predominant use of land in this designation
is manufacturing, assembling, processing, fabricating, repairing, research and
development and warehousing. The light industrial policies permit outside
storage to a maximum 25% of the total gross building floor area, less than 3
metres in height and located in well screened locations, generally at the rear of
the building. The proposed development will have a holding area for automobiles
which is completely surrounded by building walls but not roofed. The cars in the
holding area will not be visible to the street, and it is staff's opinion that the intent
of the Official Plan with respect to outside storage is being maintained. The
proposed use conforms to the land use designation.
5.3 Section 11.7.1 states Employment Areas shall be developed on full municipal
services, however, limited development on private services may be permitted
subject to criteria One of the criteria is the submission of an engineering report
to demonstrate that private services can be supported without negatively
impacting ground water and soil conditions on neighbouring properties. The
engineering report submitted supports the proposed development on private
services, with a raised septic system.
6. ZONING
6.1 The current zoning on the subject property is Holding - General Industrial ((H) M2).
The Zoning By-law defines 'motor vehicle wrecking yard', in part, as an
establishment where motor vehicles are stored and/or dismantled and where used
motor vehicle parts are sold. The subject zone does not include the use of a
motor vehicle wrecking yard, hence the application for rezoning.

7. AGENCY COMMENTS
7.1 In accordance with departmental procedure the subject application was circulated
to a number of agencies and departments for comment. The following have
responded they have no objection to the application as proposed:
Clarington Fire Department;
Region of Durham Works Department;
Region of Durham Health Department; and
Canadian National Railway.
7.2 The Central Lake Ontario Conservation
CLOC staff advised they have no objection to the zoning of the proposed facility.
However, further information is required to satisfy their concerns prior to site plan
approval. Information is required on how stormwater quality is being addressed.
Also the overland flow routes proposed by the applicant do not indicate a means
of exit from the site and will result in ponding and possibly flooding in the south-
east corner of the land. These issues will be resolved through the site plan
approval process.
7.3 Public Works Department, Engineering Division
The Works Department also have no objection to the principle of the
development, but have identified issues required to be addressed prior to site
plan approval. The east-west section of Osbourne Road has a road allowance
width of 11.58 metre. A standard local road allowance has a width of 20 metres.
Therefore, as a condition of approval, the applicant is required to dedicate to the
Municipality of Clarington, free and clear of all encumbrances, a road widening
of 8.42 metres and a 5.0 x 5.0 metre sight triangle.
The travelled portion of Osboume Road is gravel with a width of 4.0 metres and
a low structural adequacy rating. As the road is not included within the
Development Charges By-law, the applicant has agreed to contribute an
appropriate share of the costs of upgrading Osboume Road. The necessary
\ .

works will be completed by the Public Works Department. There is no
illumination on Osbourne Road in the vicinity of the proposed development. The
applicant will be responsible for 100% of the cost of the illuminating the entrance
which connects the site to Osbourne Road.
Osbourne Road has no defined ditches or drainage system. The Municipality is
concerned that drainage water from the site may adversely affect the road
allowance or neighbouring private property. As a result the applicant is
responsible for the preparation of a Master Drainage and Grading Plan detailing
the configuration of the on-site drainage and conveyance of the over land flow
from the site.
The applicant will be responsible for any costs necessary to facilitate the
COnstruction of an entrance from the subject property to Osboume Road. The
entrance must be constructed to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works.
Region of Durham Planning Department
Regional Planning Staff advised there are no municipal services available to the
site. They have also made a comment recommending the Municipality ensure
appropriate measures are taken to safeguard against contamination of the site,
from the proposed use.
STAFF COMMENTS
'-.
The applications for rezoning and site plan approval are to permit an automotive
dismantling and parts warehousing, distribution and sales establishment. The
design of the proposed development has been revised since the Public Meeting.
The revised proposal has the main building in the north west corner of the subject
site, facing the north - south leg of Osbourne Road (see Attachment No.2).
Neighbouring land owners voiced opposition to the development for a number of
reasons. One of the issues was premised.on the fear of soil and ground water

contamination due to the nature of the proposed business. The soil investigation
report states that the top 5.5 m of soils are considered to have a very low
permeability, therefore, the potential for environmental impact is low.
Furthermore, the method of operation, (ie draining all fluids from vehicles, in the
building, before storing them), should minimize, if not eliminate the potential for
soil contamination.
8.3 The report also addressed the issue of private services for the development, and
concluded that due to the nature of the native soils a raised tile be used for the
septic system. The report further concluded that an adequate water supply could
be achieved from the sandy aquifer or from the bedrock to service the proposed
development needs, without impacting nearby wells. Through the site plan
agreement, the applicant is required to install a drilled well in compliance with the
report recommendation.
8.5 The Public Works Department originally objected to the development based on
the critical deficiencies of Osbourne Road. Neighbouring land owners also voiced
concerns with respect to the road. To address the concern of the road deficiency
the applicant has agreed to pay the cost of upgrading Osboume Road from the
South Service Road to the south limits of the proposed entrance. The $70,000
contribution will be detailed in the site plan agreement. The road upgrading work
will consist of grading, drainage, granular base and sub-base material and hot
mix asphalt and is to be undertaken by the Municipality's Public Works
Department, Operations Division.
8.6 The reconstructed portion of Osbourne Road will have a wider road base and be
hard surfaced. This will better accommodate vehicle traffic and the pedestrian
and cyclists using the Waterfront Trail. The reconstructed portion of Osbourne
Road will be the preferred route for the majority of traffic to and from the
proposed site, thereby minimizing the impact on the balance of Osbourne Road
and Solina Road.

9. CONCLUSION
9.1 In consideration of the positive comments received from the agencies and the
staff comments contained above, staff would have no objection to the passing of
a by-law to permit the establishment of a automobile dismantling and parts
warehouse, distribution and sales establishment in addition to other permitted
