AGENDA 200 King St. E, Suite 202 Bowmanville, Ontario July 28, 1997 Mayor's Office The Municipality ofClarington 40 Temperance St. Bowmanville, Ontario LlC3A6 Dear Mayor Hamre and members of council, As the Bowmanville Hum~n Resource Centre for Students prepares to close for the season, I wishto e;pfess my sincere thanks for all of the support that the mayor's offiCe has provided throuihout the summer. As you may be aware, the media response to the Hire-A-Student Day activities which took place in front of the municipal building on June 16 was fantastic. Several articles appeared in local newspapers which resulted in a dramatic increase in community awareness of the student centre's existence and of the services it offers. The HRCC-S was busier this summer than it has ever been, having placed approximately 450 students in positions with over 120 local employers. This was largely made possible through the support of local businesses and organizations such as, yours. Thank you again for all of your support and best wishes in the upcoming year.

I was faced with a problem with the Builder, Liza Homes, who have built homes behind mine in Courtice. In the course of placing sod on these lots, the contractor damaged two fence boards on my back fence. I made at least one call per week to the builder to ask them to repair my fence who made promise after promise to repair the fence but nothing materialized. After at least six weeks of hearing these promises and out of sheer frustration, I contacted your office and spoke to Adrian who said he would try and help me. I know this was above and beyond his duties and I want you to know how thankful I am to have his help in getting final resolution to this problem. Adrian has shown great empathy for the taxpayers needs and has great customer service skills. I am sure you are proud to have him as an employee. Thank you. ..C~~~T10t;;C'1'.',' '~li BY . !

The purpose of the CTI SPIRIT Award is to recognize those Ontario transit systems which have made the greatest annual improvement in overall system performance. The awards are given to the winners in one of six categories. Clarington Handi-Transit won in the "Smaller systems - less than 15,000 passenger trips", specialized transit system category. As you are aware, in January, 1997 the "Who Does What" panel recommended that municipalities should be responsible for the operacing and funding of local services, including public transit. The province accepted this recommendation, noting that local governments are best able to respond to local transportation needs. By eliminating provincial duplication and intervention, municipalities will have the autonomy to deliver efficient and effective services. The winning of the CTI SPIRIT Award reflects innovation and dedication in providing public transit services in the Municipality of Clarington. _____ Congratulations on a job well done! tD'ismTION I !

OnIario M4P 2E5 Tel: (4161488,2699 Fax: (4161488-7523 In the spirit of this occasion, I would like to invite Municipality of Clarington staff to participate in this new and exciting national campaign by becoming Cool & Casual on Fridays throughout September. This is a great opportunity to take advantage of the publicity that the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Canada will be generating throughout the month. Staff members can really get into the spirit of this event by dressing down as their favourite sports hero or have a Hawaiian theme. Those who do not wear business clothing can also participate by dressing up (for the fun of it).

(IPL) will commence the testing of the second section of Line 9, from Bell School Road in Burlington to Hilton Station in Cramahe Township. To ensure minimal activity along the pipeline right of way conidor, IPL has chosen to conduct the strength portion of the hydrotest at night The testing of this piPeline will help assure IPL of the pipeline's long-tenn integrity. IPL has applied for all regulatory permits and we have submitted a copy of our Line 9 hydrotest plan with the National Energy Board. IPL staff and contractors will be posting signs along the pipeline right-of-way during the actual hydrotest We are advising all residents and/or adjacent properties along the test areas to be aw&re of the testing and to avoid any unnecessary activity within 30 metres (approximately 100 feet) of the pipeline during the hydrotest. Any residents within 30 metres (100 feet) of the pipeline will be contacted by an IPL representative in the near future to further discuss the hydrotest plans in your area. As part ofIPL's Line 9 Reversal Early Public Notification program, we are enclosing an information bulletin on the hydrotest program. We ~urage you to read the brochure.

Hamre Municipality of Clarington 40 Temperance Street Bowmanville, Ontario LiC 3A6 I Dear Mayor Hamre: Re: 1997 Subsidll Allocation. MuniciDal Transit I am writing to advise you of the provincial funding assistance allocated to your municipality for 1997 public transportation expenditures, and to confirm the discontinuation of the provincial public transportation subsidy program. As you are aware, the government has announced a number of initiatives which mark the beginning of significant change, in the way government programs and services are delivered by the province and by municipalities. On January 15, 1997, the Honourable Ai Palladini, Minister of Transportation, announced that municipalities will soon fully fund municipal transit, as partof the government's response to the comprehensive set ofrecommendations of the "Who Does ' What" Panel. This action will result in simpler, smaller, more accountable and less costly government at both the provincial and municipal levels. All operating subsidies and most capital subsidies will be discontinued as of January 1,1998. Only capital and operating expenditures incurred up to December 31, 1997, will be eligible for subsidy, with one exception. As announCed in January, the ministry will continue to honour outstanding legal commitments to specific capital projects extending beyond 1997 , notably the purchase of Orion buses by many Ontario municipalities. Operating Subsidies In December, 1995, Minister Palladini advised you that operating subsidies for transit services in 1997 would be $194 million. It was also confirmed that the government would honour its commitment to maintain base operating subsidies for specialized services for persons with disabilities, as determined by eligible operating expenditures, at the 1995 level during both 1996 and 1997. For conventional services, operating subsidies were reduced by 12% in 1996 and will be reduced a further 12% in 1997, as has been previously announced. The attached listing indicates your operating allocation for 1997, consistent with the allocation request submitted by your municipality and the maximum operating subsidy available. If your allocation request is less than the maximum amount allowed, the ministry will subsidize additional eligible expenditures to the limit of your maximum operating subsidy. Payment of any additional operating supsidy beyond your initial request will require submission_of a supplementary allocation request. Applications must be submitted as soon as additional eligible costs are identified. " ~ , , ...2 Made from recovered materials Fait de '!WMaux recup6r6s 2 Capital Subsidies In June, 1996, Minister Palladini also announced changes in municipal transit capital subsidy policies. These policies will continue to apply for capital expenditures incurred up to December 31, 1997. Again, I stress that capital expenditures incurred beyond this date will not be eligible for capital subsidy and will become the sole responsibility of the municipality. The attached listing of available subsidy for individual projects is based on the approved subsidy allocation request submitted by your municipality for capital expenditures to December 31, 1997. It reflects our assessment of ministry commitments made to date (as indicated by written Approval-in-Principle); where additional information on individual projects is required, ministry staff will make all efforts to confirm 1997 subsidy availability at the earliest possible date. This will require close and timely cooperation between ministry and municipal staff. Municipalities are to provide projections of their capital expenditures to December 31, 1997. As always, the substitution of capital projects or the transfer of item-specific capital subsidies requires prior approval of the ministry. I look forward to a cooperative effort that provides your municipality with a fair share of funding in this final year of the provincial public transportation subsidy program. Attach. cc M.

Team Representative 632 Cowan Circle Pickering.Ont.,Ll W.lK7 Home Phone 905-509-1039 Email mug-tsi@cris.com July 22. 1997 AGENDA Mayor and Council Members; I represent a team of boys aged 10 and under who play for the Durham Dragons Inllne Hockey League. The team is made up of All-Star players who were selected during tryouts in April of this year. Their talents cover the spectrum from A to AAA level of play. These boys playa regular season and play-off schedule over the sununer with teams in the GT A, including teams from Niagara Falls and Brantford. They are enjoying a very successful season with only one loss in all exhibition and regular season play. The team has also competed in several tournaments with as much success, qualifYing for, and wirming the Provicial Championships held in Waterloo over the weekend of July 11 th-13th!97. They are now on the verge of capturing a NatiorulI Championship July 31st-August2nd/97. The Provicial and National Championships are governed by the cm (Canadian In-Line Hockey Association), the new regulatory body for this fast and growing sport. Should these boys win this prestigious title, they would be in a position to enter the North American Roller Hockey Championships, (NARCH), held in Vancouver during the week of AUl1Ust 11th to 18th. competing against teams from all over the continent. This may be a once in a lifetime opportunity. I must tell you that, as a spectator, a player myself, and just being a fan of the game, I have not seen the likes of this kind of collective talent, for boys their age. They are quite simply... "Magic 011 Wheels!" The purpose of this letter is to ask for your assistance in getting this team to Vancouver, to represent both our province and our cOWltry. The team is desperately seeking sponsorship, with little time on their hands.... Thev lIeed vour helD! I myself am a public servant; a police officer who works in the Toronto area During my 20 years of policing. I can attest to the benefit, and have the seen the positive impact, that organized sport can have on children in our conununities. What I am proposing here, is an opportunity for local govenunents to further their already existent relationships with the public they serve. Continued..... Page 2 I am soliciting from all of the town councils in the Durham Region, sponsorships of between $1000 and $2000 dollars in order to send this team to the N ARCH finals. It is estimated that approximately $20,000 will be required to accommodate players, coaching staff, and limited guardianship for this one week event. In return for your sponsorship, players can be crested with a (provided) emblem from each contributing town, a banner listing the various sponsors can be displayed at the team bench area, and efforts to promote the contributory efforts of the sponsors can be made through the various media,(pre and post tournament). The team would also make available, plaques/letters of appreciation and team photos. The best return of course, would be the bringing home of the title 1997 NARCH Champions; a title achieved in part, through the contributory efforts of our local goverrunent representatives. Unfortunately, time is not on our side with this campaign. Should the team win the Nationals, they will have less two weeks to raise funds through sponsorships and fund raising activities, supplementing out of pocket expenses that the parents will incur. If you are interested in supporting this worthy cause, a letter of comittmentmust be received A.S.A.P.... no later than July 3Oth/97.

The reassessment, which began in July 1996 when the Ministry started updating property assessments, is on track to be completed at the end of April 1998 when the assessment rolls for 1998 taxation are delivered to municipalities. Data collection, which is the most time-consuming part of the reassessment, has been substantially completed. This includes sales investigations, on-site inspections, information questionnaires and income data collection in respect of rental properties. A preliminary impact analysis by property class will be provided to you in mid- August and will be updated in November. Notices of Property Assessment will be mailed in February and March 1998 to all property owners. Information Open Houses will be held in March and April, and, where necessary, amended Notices will be issued. The assessment rolls will be delivered by Thursday, April 30th, 1998. The appeals deadline with respect to the 1998 taxation year will be 60 days later, Monday, June 29, 1998. The Province will absorb the costs of defending appeals resulting from the reassessment and of resolving any appeals for earlier years still outstanding on December 31, 1997. At the beginning of the project, many municipalities had already been reassessed and were on a regular update schedule. As well, information had been collected for more than 75 % of all Ontario properties, using either a 1988 or 1992 base year. This was generally done as part of a reassessment. We are thus able to devote more attention to properties which either have not been re-inspected or not re-inspected recently. At the same time we started updating the assessment, we began to utilize new computer and communications systems, and sophisticated analysis software. To allow the Property Assessment Division's professional assessors to concentrate on the complex task of putting values on properties, qualified contract and private-sector staff were hired to do property inspections. The Division also increased the number and type of technical support staff in its field offices, both to provide immediate solutions to technical problems and to train staff on the new systems. - 2 - I would like to emphasize that it is only the Division's assessors who are doing the property assessments. Private-sector property inspectors are simply collecting or confirming information which the assessor needs to calculate a fair and accurate assessment. All of the private-sector inspectors have experience in property inspection. They will carry out about 10 inspections a day each, at an average cost to the Division of about $30 per inspection. This is comparable to what it would cost to have the Division's assessors do the inspections. During the reassessment, we are maintaining our quality control standards and measures, The Division takes quality control very seriously. Each regional assessment office has its own quality assurance manager, and each assessment administrative area has a quality control field officer. Their activities are directed by a senior manager of quality control at head office, who reports directly to the Division's Assistant Deputy Minister. The reassessment has meant that the private sector is also being used to do the 1997 municipal enumeration. This has been done in order to allow Divisional staff to concentrate on the reassessment. A consortium of three companies is managing the enumeration, including the transfer of data into the Ministry's mainframe database. The consortium is operating under strict confidentiality of information agreements. Its operations are being monitored by Ministry staff; it has limited access to the Ministry's database; and it wID not retain any data, either electronically or in hard copy. The maintenance of all personal information and the preparation of preliminary voters' lists for municipal and school board elections this fall will still be done by the Ministry. As you will be aware, we are also proposing a new organization to deliver property assessment services. We will consult with municipalities, who will manage the property assessment function in the future, on the form of the organization.

The most recent AECB Radiation Monitor shows that, for the three-month period from April I to June 30. 1997. the public radiation doses. due to the operation of the Darlington and Pickering stations were 1.0 and 3.2 rilicrosieverts, respectively, In comparison, a typical chest X-ray produces a dose of approximately 70 microsieverts, while a return flight from Toronto to Vancouver would result in an increaSed dose from cosmic radiation of about 20 rilicrosieverts. The doses indicated due to the operation of the.nuc1ear stations are for the most exposed persons. typically those living just outside the stationboundaIy, Most persons in the region would have received less. since radiation doses decrease significantly as the distance from the stations increases. Copies of the Radiation Monitor or related information may be obtained directly from the AECB by calling 1-800-668-5284. -30- , · The radiation dose is a measure of the quantity of radiation absorbed by the body. It is in units of miIlisieverts (mSv ~ one thollSandth of a sievert) or in microsieverts (I1SV - sievert). The latter nnit is used in the Radiation Monitor.

Many of the amendments tabled with the Standing Committee On General Oovemment are technical in nature, but others address issues discussed either in committee hearings during the summer or in meetings between stakeholders and officials of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. Bill 96 is designed 10 protect tenants from arbitmy evictions and unfiIir rent increases; to enforce tough rules on maintenance; to produce a climate where investment ,in rental real estate will lake place; and to establish an administrative system that i. faster, fairer and cheaper. "We'.., pleased with the extent of the input," said Leach. "We have travelled oround the province and listened carefully to the opinions the people have put forth. This process has indeed helped us make the Tenant Protection Act the fair and balanced lesis1ation required to benefillenants. landlords and the Ontario taxpayer." Some of the changes tabled today include: automatic rent reductions when taxes are decreased; an amendment making free rent receipts mandatory when tenants ask for them. a fast-track eviction process that landlords can use when someone poses a real threat to the safety of other tenants; better security for tenants through allowina above Iluideline increases for landlords adding security services, Leach said the bill'. approach 10 the use of income infonnation confums IOD&stancIing existing business practices.

Barrie Clerk Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington 40 Temperance Street Bowmanville, Ontario L1C 3A6 Dear Ms. Barrie: The Honourable Al palladini, Minister of Transportation, asked me to respond to your letter of December 31, 1996, concerning .your council's resolution on the transit funding. I apologize for the delay in replying. The Minister of Finance,has clearly stated that dedicating tax revenues to specific expenditures such as transportation, could ultimately restrict the government's ability to set and meet the full range of economic and social policy priorities. Dedicated tax revenues do not necessarily correspond with the amount of expenditure actually required to efficiently run a given prOgram. It can lead to the misallocation of revenue in the event that dedicated taxes provide more, or less, funding than the actual program needs. To ensure municipalities have the tax room they need to manage local responsibilities, including local transportation, the province will remove 50 per cent of education costs ($2.5 billion per year) from residential property taxes. The province will also provide municipalities with $225 million to address needs associated with the January 1, 1998 transfer of approximately 3,400 km of highways which primarily serve local needs. The government will consult with municipalities on the design and allocation of two transitional funding sources, the $500 million per year Community Reinvestment Fund (CRF) and the $800 million Municipal Capital Operating Restructuring Fund (MCORF). Municipalities will receive $200 million in MCORF funding to "seed" their capital reserves for other local transportation service's such as transit, ,ferries and airports. The CRF is aimed at protecting the most vulnerable communities from undue financial impacts. .. ./2 ' Made (rom recovered materials Fait de materiaux recycl6s .". - 2 - Thank you for bringing your council's resolution to our attention. / Breeze' stant Deputy Minister icy and Planning Division cc: Hon.

Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency Agence canadienne d'.evaluation environnementale COUNCIL INFORMATION 1-30 Public Consultation Notice Iiiinrl1 S6 ~H '97 FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS AGE N DA DRAFT CRITERIA FOR SUBSTITUTION OF A REVIEW PANEL OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT Ottawa, July 30, 1997 -- The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency invites public comment on draft criteria for substituting the public hearing process of a federal authority or of a body established pursuant to a land claims agreement for the panel review process under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (the Act). Substitution is one of a number of initiatives recently announced by the govemment to increase the efficiency of the federal environmental assessment process. The draft criteria are now available for public comment before being finalized. The consultation period begins today and concludes on September 10, 1997. The Act establishes a process to assess the environmental effects of projects requiring federal action or decisions. Projects receive an appropriate degree of assessment depending on the scale and compleXity of the likely effects of the project. Consequently. there are four types of environmental assessment: screening, comprehensive study, mediation and panel review. A project is usually referred to the Minister of the Environment for panel review whenever it may cause significant adverse environmental effects or public concerns warrant it. . Panels conduct public hearings and provide conclusions and recommendations to ministers on the environmental effects of the proposed project. The Minister can appoint a federal panel when only federal jurisdiction is involved. The Minister can jointly appoint a panel when more than one jurisdiction is involved, for example. the joint panel with the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board for the Cheviot Coal Mine project (Hinton, Alberta). The Minister can also jointly appoint a panel with another federal authority, for example, the joint panel with the National Energy Board (NEB) to review the Express Pipeline project (Alberta). The Act gives the Minister another option, namely to substitute the hearing process of another federal authority, such as the NEB, or that of a body established pursuant to a land claims agreement. for the panel process under the Act. The substitution criteria released today for public comment will establish the conditions under which such a substitution may take place. ...\2 ~ Environmental assessment ':'.. ~~ Before you decide -"'".

The members feel that In light of the 'events of the past week, the current process is at a crossroads, Until there Is an opportunity to meet with the Premier and members of Cabinet responsible for the transfer, the Teams feel they are unable to continue to provide meaningful advice to the Government. The Facts: The two Transition Teams have long been frustrated and concerned about the lack of infonmation forthcoming from the Government on the real costs of the provincial downloading proposals, Although the Teams have been requestlng information for many months, the Government has not provided a community-by-comtnunity breakdown on the impact of the proposed realignment of responsibilities municipalities are being told they must assume on January 101 1998. In addition, it is apparent that despite advice and support from the Teams, Ministry staff are all too often coming forward with policy options that are directly contrary to the spirit of disentangling provincial- municipal responsibilities. A letter from Co-Ghair of the two Teams, Terry Mundell, to Premier Mike Harris was delivered today. It states that the Teams feel the Government is not capitalizing on their expertise and experience. Until there is an opportunity to clarify the role of the Teams and to discuss issues of Importance, the Teams have declined to comment on the education finance refonn options. and Instead, encourage municipalities to contact the Govemment directly with their views. The requested meeting with the Premier would focus on four areas; . the issue of revenue neutrality, and what corrective action is necessary to ensure that no property tax payer is worse off as a result of the transfer . the continued role of the Transition Teams and how to ensure that the advice of municipal leaders is infonming t!1e service transfer ,. the relationship of the two new Task Forces (armounced this Week by the Premier) to the Teams already established, and . what Is a reasonable timetable to Implement the Who Does What transfers since the January 1, 1998 date has been so seriously compromised by provinclal delays ~ -~j i~; HlN2I \2. 11i1SJ1 PaGG11.i1: 08112197 22:13:29 EST; llSSOCIATlOn OF?-) AUG-12-97 TUE 05:20 PM AMO Ji,tember Communication - Alert: 9lI5GZ3411i9 CLEBK-Clarington I1un Page 1llI3 FAX NO, 4169716191 p, 02 Transition Teams Request a Meeting with Ontario Premier The Premier also announced on Monday that he would appoint two Task Forces, While It Is certainly the Government's prerogative to assemble groups it feels are appropriate, the Teams feel this announcement seriously undermines the credibility of the process already established, as well as the individuals who have dedicated considerable time and energy to the process thus far. The Teams want a clarification of the relationship of the Task Forces to the Teams already established directly by the Premier. 1\ is felt that the Government's recent Who Does What announcements are counter-productive to forging a new partnership between the two levels of government. In addition to the recent release of information which erroneously portrayed the transfer of responsibilities as revenue neutral, failing to account for the loss of $667 mlmon In Municipal Support Grants, and an estimated $225 million for the ongoing maintenance of transferred highways, the Teams are concerned about the govemment's insistence that municipal officials can deliver property tax decreases with relative ease, The effect of the delay in implementation of many programs effective January 1St, 199B, is clear. Municipalities will be simply unable to extract savings from programs over which they exercise little or no' control. Action Required: Members are requested to share their views on this subject with the AMO office, and with their local MPPs.

We would urge you now to step up the pressure on the federal government to use its powers to block the province's devolution plan, which holds great dangers for both Ontario's municipalities and its social housing communities. The downloading threat The province's transfer plan threatens to saddle Ontario's property taxpayers with over $900 million a year in new costs and to impose huge administrative burdens on our municipal governments. It also risks the financial and physical ruin of Ontario's 275,000 units of non-profit housing and enormous hardship for the 600,000 residents of these housing communities. The attached document Ten' Good Reasons to Oppose the Downloading of Social Housing to -the Municipalities outlines some of the potential consequenceS of this ill-advised and poorly thought- through plan. The success of pressure to date As we have seen, the pressure you have brought to bear, through both the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and the Large Urban Mayors' Caucus, has certainly had positive effects. Although the province has stuck to its plan for downloading social housing, it was obliged to scale back or drop some of the most worrisome and costly elements of its devolution plan, including the proposed drastic increase in the municipal share of welfare and long-tenn care costs. The fedend government has also been feeling the heat - both from your lobbying and from an intense province-wide campaign against downloading by the members of housing co-operatives during the recent election. AJ; a result of these efforts the departing minister responsible for Page 2 Pressure for Federal Action on Municipal Downloading CMHC, Diane Marleau, declared recently for the first time that the federal govenunent would not agree to devolve federally-funded social housing to Ontario if the province's downloading plans jeopardized the viability of our non-profit housing stock. This was a very promising step in the direction of protecting both Ontario municipalities and its many social housing communities. New political opportunities The recent federal election has created new possibilities for preventing the downloading of social housing, With the 101 MPs from Ontario fonning the core of the Liberal's reduced majority, the federal govenunent must pay close attention to the pressing concerns of Ontario's municipalities. Members of the Liberal's Ontario caucus have already expressed serious reservations about turning over the province's social housing stock to a govenunent committed to tranSferring the responsibility to its towns and cities. The federal govenunent has little to gain from the downloading of social housing to Ontario municipalities _ except a share of the grief when property taxpayers start to feel the crunch and blame the federal govenunent for abandoning them to the province's downloading schemes. On the other hand, the federal govenunent could build its political capital greatly by acting as protector of Ontario's cities and our taxpaying citizens by refusing to go along with the province's transfer plans. The recent appointment of a new Minister of Public Works (with responsibility for CMHe), Alfonso Gagliano, clears the way for fresh representations from Ontario's municipal leaders and the co-op housing sector on the downloading issue, There is reason to hope that he can be influenced to reinforce the federal government's commitment to set strict conditions for the devolution of social housing to Ontario. The power of the federal government over downloading The federal govenunent has the ability to effectively impede or prevent the tranSfer of social housing to Ontario's municipalities - regardless of the province's assertions to the contrary. The federal govenunent's leverage over the province in this area arises from two factors: + Almost 80% or Ontario's social housing units have at least partial funding from the federal government. This gives the federal govenunent a decisive say over how these social housing units are administered. + All social housing units where costs are shared are covered by global agreements between the province and the federal government. These agreements govern how the housing is administered and they make no provision for the tranSfer of provincial responsibilities to municipalities. There is no question that these agreements would have to be amended - with federal approval- to allow the tranSfer of cost- shared housing projects to the municipalities. The province has argued that it has constitutional authority over its municipalities and therefore the power to trarisfer its responsibilities for social housing to the cities and towns of I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I II 1'1 ,!l II il I, ! I ft I ~ I , Page 3 Pressure for Federal Action on Municipal Downloading Ontario. It is clearly true that the province can force municipalities to pay Ontario's share of the social housing costs and take on the administration of the housing that is unilaterally funded by the province. However, the province has no authority to transfer its program and administration responsibilities for the vast majority of the units which are funded either solely by the federal government or included in existing cost-sharing agreements. Without the federally-funded units, transferring the administration of the provincially- supported units would be impractical. Transferring only the financial responsibility would fall far short of the province's slated goal of "getting out of the housing business". In actual fact the federal government can set any conditions it wants to for its devolution of any units with federal funding. These conditions could include a commitment by the Ontario government to abandon its plan to transfer financial responsibility for social housing to the municipllIities. Suggestions for ways to pressure the federal government The federal government is already feeling a lot of heat on the social housing downloading issue - especially as a result of your efforts to date, However, it will take strong encouragement from the municipal leaders of Ontario and organizations of private citizens like our own to ensure that the federal government translates its reservations about municipal downloading into action. We would urge you to take steps right away to increase the pressure. Here are some suggestions: 1) Pass a motion at Council calling on the federal government to refuse to transfer any social housing with federal funding to Ontario until the province backs off its plan to download the responsibility for social housing to Ontario's municipalities. 2) Write to the federal minister responsible for social housing, Alfonso Gagliano, and Prime Minister Chretien urging the government to take a tough stance with the province on municipal downloading. 3) Call or meet with your federal MP(s) and ask them for a commitment to oppose downloading and to communicate their opposition immediately to the federal minister and the federal cabinet. 4) Ask the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and the Large Urban Mayors' Caucus to continue their appeals to the federal government to take strong action to protect Ontario's municipalities and social housing communities. We believe that a detennined campaign for federal action is the best (and perhaps only) hope for derailing the province's plans to offioad the huge costs of social housing onto Ontario's cities and towns. For the sake of your own community and others across Ontario, we urge you to pressure the federal government to use its powers to prevent a transfer that threatens the health and financial viability of both Ontario municipalities and its affordable housing. ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Page 4 Pressure for Federal Action on Municipal Downloading If you or your staff would like to discuss the issues raised in this letter, please contact either Bill Morris or Christopher Wllson of our Ontario office at 366-1711 (in the Toronto area) or 1-800- 268-2537 (in other parts of the province). Thank-you once again for your efforts in this battle, Sincerely, President, Ontario Council c.c. Association of Municipalities of Ontario Large Urban Mayors Caucus of Ontario I I I I I I fl I II (1 11 I II I I II Ten good reasons to oppose the downloading of social housing to the municipalities The province has portrayed the proposed transfer of social housing to the municipalities as a financially neutral move that will rationalize and simplify the administration of Ontario's non-profit housing. Nothing could be further from the truth, Downloading threatens the financial health of our cities and towns and the very existence of our affordable housing communities. Here are the reasons why: 1. Massive new costs to Ontario's municipalities The province has changed its downloading package, but the new plan still means dramatic cost increases for most municipalities, It's going to cost cities an extra $900 million a year for all the new responsibilities they will be forced to take on, These will include roads, transit, police, and a larger share of welfare costs. The annual price tag for social housing is about the same as the total extra costs municipalities will face because of downloading. 2. High hidden costs for repair and rehabilitation The province has been hidi2g the true cost of the social housing to be transferred, Ontario's aging public housing stock needs up to $1 billion in repairs. None of the recent provincially-funded non-profit housing projects have on-going funding for the reserves needed to cover major repairs or long-term replacement of building components. Studies done for the co-op housing sector tell us that almost $220 million a vear will be needed to finance repairs and build up adequate reserves for Ontario's social housing. The province has said it will make one-time payments of $173 million to top up reserves and $42 million for repairs to public housing. The total $215 million they have committed is only a fraction of the true need and does nothing to cover on-going costs. Most social housing projects will have to go begging to their municipality for money for repairs. Cities will face a grim choice between raising property taxes or letting social housing slide into American-style slums. 3. Volatile and unpredictable subsidy costs Social housing subsidy costs will fluctuate dramatically with changing economic conditions in two areas: + Interest rate increases: The operating subsidies required to help cover on-going project costs will increase greatly as interest rates rise on the $8.5 billion in outstanding social housing mortgages, A 1% rise in interest rates will trigger a $ I II million per year increase in operating subsidy costs. + Economic downturns: The cost of rent-geared-to income assistance for individuals and families will increase substantially whenever economic recessions cailse job loss and income reductions. Subsidy cost increases will hit municipalities during periods \"iJen welfare costs are also mushrooming. These substantial and unpredictable changes in costs will undermine the financial stability of the municipalities forced to finance social housing, 8. Bureaucratic nightmare I administrative chaos The downloading scheme will create a huge bureaucratic maze with many overlapping jurisdictions. Over 50 new municipal housing departments will have to be set up. That's on top of the provincial bureaucracy which will continue to set standards and watch over the municipal staff, And federal bureaucrats at CMHC will oversee the province. Far from simplifYing or rationalizing the administration of housing, the downloading process will produce complex new entanglements among three levels of government. ,) I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I page 2 Ten good reasons to oppose the downloading of social housing 4. Unequal distribution of costs Some towns and cities will carry a much higher share of housing costs, simply because they have higher levels of social housing. Meanwhile 50% of Ontario's municipalities will pay nothing at alL Metro Toronto, with over 30% of the province's social housing, will be hardest hit, but other urban areas will suffer as well. Unequal cost distribution will threaten the financial health and viability of the province's key economic centres, 5. Higher property taxes I cuts to social programs The huge new municipal responsibilities will create strong pressures to increase property taxes, Low income homeowners and seniors will be especially hard hit if taxes go up substantially. Social housing will have to compete with essential city services for scarce property tax dollars. Municipal councils will have to choose between steep property tax increases or big funding cuts to both municipal services and social programs. 6. Financial responsibility without ownership or control Municipalities will not gain ownership of the social housing stock. Nor will they control the key policies governing social housing programs. Under current downloading proposals the overall program goals will be set by the terms of the federal-provincial devolution agreement, The province will continue to control the standards and essential policies, since they are responsible for meeting the program objectives and paying for any project failures. The towns and cities will carry all the responsibility for funding and administering social housing with no real control over the programs involved, 7. Complex programs I costly administration . The municipalities will inherit a complex web of housing types and programs that will be difficult and costly to administer, Each of the housing types - co-ops, private and municipal non-profits, public housing and private with rent supplements - has radically different methods of operation, resident populations arid needs, The many different housing programs - federal, provincial and joint - have diverse operating regimes, requirements and regul~tions. Cities and towns will be forced into establishing complicated, very expensive administrative structures to deal with these demanding responsibilities. ,I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I page 3 Ten good reasons to oppose the downloading of social housing Taking on the new administrative burdens will be extremely difficult for most municipalities, which have little experience with managing social housing. It will take years to set up the new municipal housing bureaucracies and transfer control from the province. In the meantime confusion and chaos will reign, 9. Cuts in subsidies I higher rents I increased homelessness Municipalities will be starved for cash and forced to look for any way they can to raise money or cut costs. They will be obliged to cut subsidies to low income residents and raise rents in social housing units, simply to cover project expenses. Homelessness will rise dramatically as the most vulnerable individuals and families have little choice but to live in shelters and on the streets. Safety and quality oflife in Ontario's towns and cities will decline. 10. No new affordable housing Over the past 30 years most of the need for affordable housing in Ontario has been met through supply programs run by the senior levels of government. That need will continue to grow. But the downloading of social housing to the municipalities will make it very difficult to create any new homes for low income people, Cash-strapped cities and towns will have no ability to provide the funding required. That ",-ill mean great hardship for the tens of thousands of people on waiting lists who still need decent, affordable accommodation.

PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT. BILL 84 - PRIVATIZATION OF FIRE DEPARTMENTS Your Committee had before it the following report (June 19, 1997) from the Fire Chief: "The introduction of this new legislation will lead to change in the Fire Service in the Province of Ontario, Naturally, there is some concern about the changes, however, I believe there are considerable benefits that will assist in the future development of fire prevention, protection and education for the benefit of the citizens in this province. When considering the contents of Bill 84 and its impact on fire safety, one must consider what safe guards are in place in the legislation and the context of Ontario's fire services. Existing provincial legislation allows municipaltties to reduce the level of service at their will. For example, a municipality may reduce its firefighting services and replace full-time firefighters with volunteer firefighters if tt so desired (subject to collective agreements). The province does not have any legislative authority to intervene. In fact, under existing legislation, a municipality is not required to have a fire service, The Fire Protection and Prevention Act (FPPA) makes fire protection mandatory. To my knowledge, Ontario is the only province in Canada to mandate fire protection to the extent that Ontario does wtth the new Legislation. It does so by requiring that every municipality must have a public education and fire prevention componentto its program. In fulfilling its responsibilities under the FPPA, a municipality must either establish a community fire safety officer or team, or establish a fire department \/\/hen a Fire Department is established, a fire suppression. component is mandatory, It is my understanding that fire suppression was not mandated because there are a small number of municipalities and unorganized communities where the population and financial resources are insufficient to support a fire department. The FPPA includes a number of other significant fire safety improvements as follows: . Unlike existing legislation, under the FPPA the Fire Marshal has the power to monitor and review the municipal fire protection services if in his opinion a serious threat to fire safety exists. If the municipality does not address the serious threat, the Lieutenant-Governor-in-Council may make regulations establishing standards for fire protection and requiring a municipality to comply with those standards. I n other words, the Fire Marshal would be responsible for protecting the provincial interest, which is to ensure that the residents of Ontario are not at serious risk from fire. I I I I . . I I I I I I I I' I .. I I I I I I I -Page2 - . Automatic aid is defined and the authority for municipalities to enter into automatic aid agreements is set out 'in the Act. This provision is permissive but is designed to promote the closest station response to critical emergencies. Under the existing provisions, the negotiation of automatic aid agreements is encouraged but the Minister has made it clear that if the permissive system does not work, he would be prepared to mandate automatic aid, . The Fire Chief has been defined in the legislation and has been given broad delegation powers. For example, the Fire Chief could delegate specific inspection authorities to in- service crews for a specified period of time, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I . The Fire Marshal has power to issue guidelines on fire protection services to municipalnies. Under this provision, I understand the Fire Marshalintends to issue guidelines on all aspects of fire protection services, in consultation with the major stakeholders. These guidelines can be used by municipalities to make informed decisions about fire protection services, . The Fire Marshals Public Fire Safety Council has been established under the FPPA. The Council will have broad powers to enter into partnerships with the private and public sector to promote public education and prevention throughout the Province of Ontario. A good example is the recent partnership with the City of North Y orl< to promote the 'Older and Wiser' program. . The regulatory process has been expanded and streamlined, Under the FPPA, the Minister may approve a broad range of regulations including practices and standards for fire protection services and certification and training of full-time, volunteer and part-time firefighters. . Part IX of the legislation, among other things, establishes provisions and processes fer an expanded management team. This provision will allow municipalnies to identify staff in management posnions without the previous restrictions, Under the current Fire Department'sAc!, only the Fire Chief and Deputy Chief positions are excluded from the bargaining unn, regardless of size of department. PRIVATIZATION It is my understanding that all provinces in Canada allow for the privatization of fire departments, In fact, there are a number of provinces that do have private not-fer-profit fire departments. It is my understanding that these fire departments are, not presently unionized. Under the Municipal Act, municipalnies have always had the option of privatizing their fire services. The FPPA does not encourage or discourage privatization. The intent of the FPPA is tn provide as much flexibility as possible to municipalnies in organizing fire protection services, In my opinion, the privatization of emergency fire services in Ontario is highly unlikely, The North Yorl< Fire Department is a very efficient and effective organization and in my opinion would not benefit from privatization of any of the services provided to the community and citizens we serve. ,~ t -Page 3 - I I I I r_ I do not believe that privatization presents a serious alternative for the following reasons: . Labour laws are different in Ontario than they are in the United States; . Firefi9hters employed by a private firm would fall under the provisions of Part IX of the FPPA. . Existing no contracting out clauses would inhibit privatization of existing municipal fire protection services, . If a private firm was employed by a municipality to deliver fire protection services and they reduced the level of service to a point where a serious threatto public safety existed, the Fire Marshal could invoke his authority to review and make recommendations to the municipality to reduce the threat. If the threat was not addressed, regulations could be passed by the Lieutenant-Govemor-in-Council. . Previous history indicates that private fire protection firms stay away from situations that involve unionized fire departments. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I PART-TIME FIREFIGHTERS At the present time, 95% of the fire departments in Ontario are volunteer or have a volunteer component. Only 32 are full-time fire departments. Volunteer firefighters work side-by-side in a variety of circumstances with full-time firefighters in 127 composite fire departments. (Fire departments that have volunteer and full-time firefighters) A small number of Ontario fire departments use volunteer firefighters as part-time firefighters i.e. fill-in for full-time firefl!lhters when they are on vacation or absent for other reasons. It is my understanding that all other provinces allow part-time firefighters. It is my understanding that one of the intents of the FPPA is to provide more flexibility to municipalities in the organization of their fire services and therefore the use of part-time firefighters was included, As part-time firefl!lhters are included in the definition of firefighter under Part IX of the Act, their working conditions, recall and hours of work would be subject to negotiation between the municipality and the firefighters association, The training of part-time firefighters has been raised as an issue. The Occupational Health and Safety Act requires that a municipality provide adequate training for their employees. As this is a legislative responsibility, it applies to full-time and part-time firefighters. There are some positive uses for part-time employees, particularly for smaller municipalities, For example, a unionized composite fire department may wish to hire a part-time public educator or fire prevention officer, This provision gives them that flexibilitY. In addition, in very busy composite fire departments, it may be difficutt to recruit volunteer firefighters. Now the municipality would have the option of hiring part-time firefighters as a transition measure before moving to a full-time model. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I t-"' -page4 - If a municipality used part-time firefighters to reduce staffing levels and this use created a serious threat to public safety, the Fire Marshal and the Lieutenant-Govemor-in-Council could use the powers previously described above, In addition, there is regulatory authority to define regularly employed and for the standards and practices of full-time, part-time and volunteer firefighters. In my professional opinion, a municipality the size of North York, with ~s heavy demands to provide a fast and effective response to over 25,000 emergency calls annually, supported by effective Training, Communications, Mechanical, Fire Prevention and Administration Divisions, will not benefit from the use of part time personnel, AMENDMENTS Prior to third reading, a number of amendments were made to Bill 84, some of which are: HOURS OF WORK . The wording contained in the Fire Department's Act was restored and municipalities can bargain hours of work with the firefighters, CERTIFICATION I DECERTIFICATION This section of the legislation has been deleted and the status quo retained. CALL-BACK TO DUTY Under the existing Fire DepartmenfsAct the Fire Chief had to recall all Firefighters to duty whereas the change allows for the call back of only those required with provision to negotiate call back provisions. in the Collective Agreement PART TIME EMPLOYEES The defin~ion of Firefighter includes full time and part time employees. Due to the amendments that were made regarding the ability to negotiate conditions of employment and hours of work, the issue of part time employees can be brought to the negotiating table. PROTECTION OF COLLECTIVE AGREEMENTS Bargaining rights and existing collective agreements will remain in place. CONCILIATION COSTS Bill 84 introduced conciliation into the collective bargaining process. However, the costs will be paid for by the govemment and not the firefighters. EXCLUSIONS OF POSIT10NS The new legislation allows the employer to automatically exclude a specific number of positions as management that cannot be challenged. Example, in North York the number of excluded management pos~ions will be 5, However, an individual does have the option to remain in the bargaining unit if he/she chooses not to accept a management pos~ion and will be given another position within the bargainirlll un~, t:\. 0 , ,. , - PageS- In addition, the Municipality may exclude other staff who are deemed to be performing a management function in a position of confidentiality. Such exclusions would be ruled upon by the Labour Board, There is also the opportunity to negotiate exclusions with the Association. CONSOLIDATION OF EXISTING LEGISLATION The Bill repeals the following Acts relating to fire services and consolidates them into one statute: 1, The Accidental Fires Act 2. The Egress from Public Buildings Act 3. The Fire Accidents Act 4, The Fire Departments Act S, The Firefighters Exemption Act 6. The Firefighters Protection Act, 1993 7. The Fire Marshals Act 8, The Hotel Fire Safety Act 9, The Lightning Rods Act There are numerous changes taking place in the fire service and Bill 84 is one component of the change that is moving us into a new era of fire protection in the Province of Ontario." Your Committee also had before it the following communication (June 19, 1997) from Mr. Jim Mac Intosh, Secretary, North York Professional Fire Fighters Association, 1170 Sheppard Avenue West, Unit 1S, North York, M3K 2A3: "It was moved in the North York Council meeting of May 14, 1997 to have the North York Professional Fire Fighters Association appear before the Legislation and IntergovemmentalAffairs Committee on June 23, 1997. The Association will be making a presentation on ,Bill 84, the Fire Protection and Prevention Act, 1996. Mr. J, Lee, the President of the Ontario Professional Fire Fighters Association and myself will be attending the meeting. I am enclosing copies of the Bill for the Mayor and Members of Council." A copy of Bill 84 is on file in the City Clerk's Department. Mr. Jim Mac Intosh submitted to your Committee a document highlighting occurances regarding privatization, a copy of which is attached as Schedule MAtt. Your Committee also had before it the following motion from Councillor Mammoliti, which was referred by Council at its meeting of May 14, 1997: "WHEREAS Bill 84 allows for the privatization of Fire Departments, a policy which has led to horrific circumstances in the United States; AND WHEREAS Bill 84 allows the replacement of full time professional fire fighters with part time workers of less experience and skill; I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I r' I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I - Page 6 - c AND WHEREAS Bill 84 provides call back service which will lead to slower response time and will reduce public safety; AND WHEREAS the Ontario Govemment received over 225,000 petitions requesting them to eliminate the threat of fire safely but they failed to amend these aspects of the Bill; AND WHEREAS the Bill is expected to pass 3rd Reading in the legislature during this Council meeting; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this Council hereby declare its intention not to implement Bill 84 and to specifically indicate its opposition to any policy which undermines fire protection; AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVEDthallhis motion be circulated to all municipalities in the Greater Toronto Area encouraging other municipalities to reject Bill 84." The following persons appeared before Committee regarding this matter: o Mr. Jim Lee, President, Ontario Professional Fire Fighters Association, 766 Aspen Road, Pickering, L 1V 3S3; and o Mr, Jim Mac Intosh, Secretary, North York Professional Fire Fighters Association, 1170 Sheppard Avenue West. Unit 15, North York, M3K 2A3. Councillor Frank Di Giorgio also appeared before Committee and assisted in its deliberations. Your Committee RECOMMENDS that a) the report (June 19, 1997) from the Fire Chief be received; and b) the motion from Councillor Mammoliti be endorsed subject to the following amendment: "THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this Council hereby declare its intention to not implement private fire protection services, call back services nr a part time fire fighters policy and to specifically Indicate Its npposition to any policy which undennines fire protection". AMENDMENT BE AMENDED by deleting recommendation b) and replacing it with the following: "THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this Council hereby declare its intention to not implement private fire protection services, call back services or a part time fire fighters policy and to specifically indicate its opposition to any policy which undermines fire protection in the City of North York or the new City ofToronto." .... , " SCHEDULE "A" Page 1 of 1 .... ~ PRIV A TIZA TION The largest and best known private fIre company is RuraVMetro of Scottsdale Arizona. Their record alone should tell you all you need to know about privatization: . RurallMetro was removed by Sun City 1 Arizona over questionable bilUng practices and high rates in 1989. A municipal fire department now provides more staff at a lower cost,. . In 1988, RuraVMetro sued Phoenix. Arizona to stop the annexation of one of the suburbs. The annexation went ahead. Phoenix now provides the area with more staff and quicker response times. o In 1989, Rura1lMelro abandoned one Phoenix suburb, claiming they weren't making enough money.

The Minister has asked me to respond on his behalf. At the outset, let me explain that the Canadian Transportation Agency is the government body responsible for setting such fees. Current railway construction costs are,set out in the Agency's Schedule "A" Directives - 1996 Railway Ratesfor Maintenance and Construction. The Agency's goal is to establish fair and reasonable railway rates for maintenance and construction. However, if disputes arise, municipalities can apply to the Agency for an investigation of the rates being charged.

Dear Mr. Budden: Re: Trustee Detennination and Distribution This will confirm the discussions from the meeting with you, representatives of the Local Education Improvement Committee, myself and Rick Stinson, Clerk, Town of Cobourg, and Patti Barrie, Clerk, Municipality of Clarington, concerning the trustee detennination and distribution for the Northumberland-Clarington Peterborough District School Board. The total electoral population, as provided by the Assessment Region No.7, for the Northumberland- C1arington Peterborough District School Board is 210,935. In accordance with the regulation under the Education.'Act entitled "Representation on District School BoardS; 1997 Regular Election", if a Board's electoralgrouppopuIation is betweeriT50,000 up to 249,999, then the total number of trustee members is ten. Under definition Section 1(1), subsection (b), of the Regulation, this Board is defined as a high density board. In order to apply section 8 (Distribution of Members of High Density Boards), the electoral quotients were calculated based on 10 tru$tees and groupings made to distribute across the jurisdiction. Based on this calculation, the City of Peter borough quotient of2.5164 would round to three trustees and cause a major realignment of trustees in all other areas to ensure that the total remains at 10, C~y Hall + 500 George Street North + Peterborough + Ontario + CANADA + K9H 3R9 + (705) 748-8815 + FAX (705) 743.7825 I I I I I I I I I I !

Under this condition, the LEIC identified the low population areas in all municipalities except the City ofPeterborough and the Municipality ofOarington, and established a low population factor of one. Applying these conditions using 8(6) new quotients were calculated and municipalities again grouped to obtain electoral quotient sums as nearly as practicable, an integer. The LEIC recommended the combination of municipalities in the report attached, which are based on the following concepts: 1. the principles of Section 8(4) 2. the trustees for the two areas with 2 representatives to run at large (and not use municipal wards) 3, the geography of the rural areas is accounted for as much as possible while maintaining the principle of representation by population 4. the combination of areas over upper-tier municipal boundaries to enhance the development of an integrated new board over the enlarged jurisdiction and facilitating integral electoral quotient areas. As a result of an analysis of electoral quotients and the concepts identified by LEIC, the Clerks of the City ofPeteIborough, Town of Cobourg and the Municipality ofClarington present the determination and distnoution of trustees as outlined in Schedule "A" attached to this report. Since these recommendationS have been concurred in by the Local Education Improvement Committee, this information is presented to you so that it can be forwarded to the Education Improvement Commission and to the Clerks in all municipalities within the jurisdiction of the Board.

Also enclosed is our FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) sheet which has been co-published with Health Canada. To satisfy the demand for wireless services in Canada, the radiocommunication industry has'been required to make a substantial investment in its infrastructure which includes radiocommunication towers. Industry Canada recognizes that the siting of a significant radiocommunication tower is an important issue to the local community. As a result, our Department has instituted specific procedures to ensure that municipalities or land-use authorities are aware of significant antenna structures proposed within their jurisdictional boundaries and that they also have an opportunity to influence the location of the structures while not unduly prohibiting the development of radiocommunication facilities. These procedures are outlined in our Client Procedures Circular (CPC) 2-o-{)3, "Environmental Process, Radiofrequency Fields and Land-Use Consultation." The process provides a mechanism to address land-use concerns while respecting federal jurisdiction for the installation and operation of radiocommunication systems. It is with this process in mind that our Department has recently completed a project designed to promote a better understanding of our procedures and the rationale involved in the siting and construction of radiocommunication towers. We are striving to ensure that local officials and ultimately the public are better informed about our procedures and the role of land-use authorities as it relates to the process. This enclosed material consists of a video and two information brochures which are briefly described below: 1 1 I I I I I I I!

I I I I I I I I I Toronto Real Estate Board 10f4 Background on TREB The Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) is one of the largest real estate boards in the world representing more than 20,000 REALTORS in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). In 1996, TREB's members accounted for the sale of55,779 properties of all types valued at more than $11 billion. During the 75 years since its founding, 1REB has been a key source of in-depth information on all aspects of the real estate industry - residential, industrial, commercial and investment --in the GTA. Comments on the Farrow Recommendations Today, the Greater Toronto Area has 30 municipal governments in 5 regions and no overall plan to guide or co-ordinate residential and business growth within a region that has a population of 4.2 million people. While Metro Toronto has seen a modest level of growth during the past 10 years, most of the growth in the GTA has occurred in the four regions outside Metro's boundaries. This has placed greater demands for municipal and regional services upon the suburban governments which has resulted in a greater urgency to attract businesses to generate the assessment dollars needed to support these services. The Toronto Real Estate Board understands that the issue of governance in the GTA is a complex one with no easy solutions. We firmly believe, however, that the problems facing this region can be addressed if the interests of the residential and business tax- payer, and those of the GTA regional economy, are placed at the top of the GTA political agenda. In order to reshape the GTA and re-establish it as the pre-eminent regional economy of Canada, the provincial government and the GTA municipalities must look at the region as one political and economic region comprised of several smaller municipal jurisdictions which work together for the benefit of the entire GTA. While various proposals have sought to enhance the powers of the local municipalities or tinker with the status quo, lREB supports a vision for a new GTA regional structure which is based on the two-tier system that has proven itself to be generally effective over a 42 year period within Metro Toronto. We believe that a new governance structure based on the two-tier model, with one regional government representing the entire GTA and strong lower-tier governments, would be the ~ost effective in addressing many of the growth and governance related concerns which have been raised during the GTA debate. Toronto Real Estate Board 20f4 In TREB's earlier GTA reform submissions to the Anne Golden Task Force, the Crombie Panel and the legislative public hearings on Metro Toronto amalgamation (Bill] 03), we identified some of the challenges which face those seeking to reform the governance structure in the GTA today and which TREB feels must be addressed ifany GTA governance reform exercise is to be successful. These included: . The inability of the current municipal/regional governance structure in the GTA to address trans-regional issues (i.e. public transit, infrastructure. development, economic growth and regional business investment); and . The apparent inability / unwillingness by the 35 GTA municipal and regional governments to set aside their local interests to quickly and effectively resolve trans-regional problems. The Milt Farrow Report on a Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB), Getting Toe:ether. proposes four primary roles for a GTSB namely: infrastructure coordination. a discussion forum, inter-regional issue resolution and service delivery including GO Transit. These . roles reflect those responsibilities that TREB has long advocated be vested with a GTA regional level of government which we believe is best suited to carry out these duties. . The Farrow Report also outlines three possible models for a GTSB. Model one would be a single pmpose board for discussion and settlement Model two would be a dual purpose board for infrastructure coordination and discussion and settlement while model three would be a multi-purpose board that would carry out all of the functions outlined in . models one and two, plus assume the role of owner or operator, or both, of key services in the GTA and eventually replace one of the two levels of municipal government TREB advocates a multi-purpose board (model three), encompassing the GTA, including Metro Toronto, that would not only own or operate key services in the GTA but also eventually replace the current GTA regional governments. In order to allow for efficient and stable future regional growth, planning for infrastructure and hard services should be the responsibility of the regional government and should extend beyond the urban-regional boundary to inciude rural areas on the outer fringes of the GTA. Furthermore, responsibilities in the areas of economic development, business investment, public transit and emergency services should:be vested at the regional level. . ,I ~I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ,I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Toronto Real Estate Board 30f4 . . mER Suggestions to Improve the GTSR Proposals While the Toronto Real Estate Board supports the direction of the Farrow Report and most of its recommendations, there are some other issues TREB would like to draw attention to. One question which has been the subject of much contentious debate is the number of elected officials required to administer a region the size of the Greater Toronto Area. TREB recommended that geographical boundaries for regional wards be based on the federal constituency boundaries. This would reduce the number ofGTA regional councillors from its present level of 134 to 37 or less. The Farrow recommendation of28 is a good start and is in line with our view. In addition, TREB reiterates its position that the number of GT A regional governments be reduced from five to one'directly-elected, regional government encompassing the GTA. However, councillors should be elected to sit on both local . and regional councils. While the proposed GTSB is a good first step, the goal should remain the eventual elimination of the current GTA regiOnal levels to be replaced by a new GTA regional level with the full powers of a government body. TREB also feels that a GTSB and new GTA structure should incorporate the following: . A timetable should be set for the elimination of the existing GTA regional governments. We propose that a new GTA regional level should replace the existing GTA regional governments by the end ofthe next municipal mandate (1997-2000); . In addition to including emergency services as a responsibility of a" new GTA regional level, zoning regulations shoul~ be standardized across the GTA region in order to avoid the confusion under the present system; and . Some of the smaller municipalities in the GTA should either be amalgamated into larger jurisdictions, or annexed by larger adjacent municipalities in order to create greater efficiencies in the delivery of public services, substantially reduce administration, and reduce the cost of municipal government operations. We view the creation of the new City of Toronto as a good step which puts in place the final part of the governance reform plan for Metro Toronto which was initiated by the provincial government when Metro Toronto was created in 1953. It is also the next logical step which we feel needs to take place if Metro Toronto and the GTA is to Toronto Real Estate Board .4of4 remain economically healthy, and socially and culturally-viable, The elimination of the Metro regional level has positioned Metro Toronto to benefit from a new tWo-tier structure once the Greater Toronto Services Board and, we hope, a new GTA regional government eventually comes into effect. By the same token, eliminating the 'other four GTA regional governments, with further amalgamations at the local level, would position these regions to benefit from a new two tier structure as well. Conclusion We agree with those who have stated that there are too many governments and too many politicians in the Greater Toronto Area, and that governance in the GTA needs to be overhauled if we are to enter the 21st century as a dynamic and prosperous region. We realize that trying to address these issues is a difficult task. However, if these issues are not addressed, and if the various stakeholders do not set aside their parochial differences to address the needs of the entire GTA region, then all we can look forward to is a decline in the prosperity and quality of life we have come to expect. The Toronto Real Estate Board believes strongly that the revised two-tiered concept we have outlined can be an effective basis for future governance of the GTA Municipal and provincial leaders have a unique opportunity to shape the future direction and prosperity of the GTA, just as the leaders of 1953 successfully shaped the future of Metro Toronto. They have been presented with an historic opportunity. Whether or not they take advantage of that opportunity can only be judged by the future generation who will reap what is sown today. -End- I il I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I tOUNCIL~NFORMATlpN 1-44' THE CORPORATION .

"Our charitable gaming framework will benefit all OntariaIis by making more money available to charities, not-for-profit organizations and the voluntary sector," said Mushinski, "It will also provide a safer, more controlled environment for gaming activities, and ensure that communities have a say in how revenue is spent. Roving monte carlos will be discontinued on March 31, 1998, except in remote regions in the North." Up to 44 permanent and part-time seasonal, professionally managed charity gaming clubs will be established throughout the province to replace "roving" monte carlo events. In 1996, just under 15,000 gaming days were licensed for charities to hold 4,845 monte carlos. However, charities only received about 10 percent of net revenues, an estimated $10 million. Permanent charity gaming clubs will give charities up to $80 million a year, Charities can also access up to $100 million a year from revenues generated by video lotteries. MushinSki said the government is acting on the key recommendations of the Charitable Gaming Allocation Working Group, eStablished in November 1996 to advise government on how to allocate video lottery revenues to charities and give charities fair access to charity gaming clubs. The Working Group's report was released today. The government has decided to: . Allocate video lottery gaming revenues to charities through a grants program; . Reconstitute the mandate of the Ontario Trillium Foundation to administer the program and allocate 20% of the VL funds to grants for activities with a provincial scope; . Establish up to 29 community-based funding bodies which will be given 80% ofVL revenues to support local grants for projects which benefit the community; and . Provide municipalities with a role in allocating sponsorship time of the permanent gaming clubs to charities. ...12 0_ -2- "More structure, accountability ,and better control will give charitable gaming in Ontario greater integrity," said Mushinski. "Charitable gaming has the potential to be a valuable community asset that will strengthen the voluntary sector and give charities a solid and stable source of funding." "The establishment of perman~l1t charity gaming clubs makes eminent. sense," said Jeff Wilbee, chair of Charities First, an 1.Imbrella group of charitable orgariizations involved in gaming. "Under the current system of roving monte carlos, you could have three or four events occurring within one community on any given day. At least two of these events would lose money or just break even."

CHARITABLE GAMING IN ONTARIO CURRENT SYSTEM . Thousands of Ontario charities raise funds through charitable gaming. This includes revenues from bingos. selling "break-open" tickets and sponsoring "roving" monte carlo events. . "Roving" monte carlo events operate for one, twO, or three clays, then move to another site. Charities sponsor the events, which are run by numerous operators. . Charities must apply to their munidpality for approval to sponsor a monte carlo event, which is licensed by the province. In 1996, just under 15,000 gaming days were licensed for 920 charities to hold 4,845 events. , . Charities receive about 10 per cent of the revenue generated by table games at roving monte carlo events, or about $10 milflon a year. . Events are sometimes held in unsuitable locations, are difficult to control and police. . Because there is no overall system in place to coordinate events, on any given day there can be three or four events within one community. This results in some events losing money or jun breaking even. NEW SYSTEM Charity Gaming Qubs . Roving monte carlo events will be replaced with up to 36 permanent and 8 part-time seasonal, professionally managed charity gaming clubs. Licensing of current three-day monte carlo events will be discontinued on March 31, 1998. except in remote regions in the North. i ; i I ; ! ; ! i ! ! ! l 1 ; , i i \ i ! , i \ I. i \ . The Alcohol and Gaming Commission will retain responsibility for issuing licences to charities to panicipate in the dubs. . Each municipa1itywithin a gaming club's catchment area will be given a specified number of days, on a per capita basis, for distribution to charities within its jurisdiction. Municipalities may chaIge an administrative fee for their role in the allocation of time slots for charities, as well as reviewing applications and prioritizing local needs. . Municipalities will be given the authority to determine the time period for which each charity is licensed 0, 2, or 3 days). . Participating charities will receive 50 per cent of the dub's net revenues from table games. Taking into account the size of the proposed dubs and number of table games permitted in each, this translates into funding of up to $80 million a year for charities - eight times what charities currently receive under the "roving" system. A Charity Gaming Club will be located in a given catchment area _ which will be defined by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission - and could contain up to 40 gaming tables and 150 video lottery terminals, According to demand, dubs could operate 24 hours a day, Fact Sheet (cont'd) THE REPORT ON ALLOCATION OF CHARITY GAMING FUNDS The Govemment appointed the Charity Gaming Allocation Working Group in November 1996. The Working Group was asked to conduct public consultations and advise the Government on: . how to best provide charities with fair access to sponsoring gaming clubs . how to allocate the proceeds from vide,o lotteries to charities. . The Working Group invited hundreds of individuals and representatives of organizations to comment. . The Working Group delivered Its findings in a report, and the govemment is acting on key reF"mmendations.

Initially, charities with current involvement in sponsoring monte carlo events will be given preference in allocating time slots; new applications will be allocated based on municipal review and priorization. Video Lottery Terminals . Charities will have access to 10 per cent of the revenues from video lotteries (VLs). VLs will initially be located in charity gaming clubs and at racetracks. . Charities will access video lottery revenues through a provincial grants program designed to meet community, needs. . Video lottery revenues to charities are estimated to be up to $100 million a year. . Host municipalities will be compensated for assessing proposed charity gaming clubs site locations and for providing ongoing review of community impacts. A11ocation Process . The Ontario Trillium Foundation's mandate will be reconstituted to be the central body administering funds from VL revenue for initiatives benefiting all sectors of the community, not just social services. . . The Trillium Foundation will be allocating 20 per cent of the VL funds to grants for activities with a provincial scope. . Up to 29 Community Funding Bodies will be given 80 per cent of VL revenues on a per capita basis to suppon local grants for projects which benefit the community, Version fran~se disponible. t I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 'I I I I I I I I I I I .1 I I I I I I I COUNCIL INFORMATION 1-46 TOWN OF GEORGINA OFFICE OF THE CLERK 26557 Civic Centre Ad" A.R. #2, Keswick, Ontario L4P 3G1 Direct Lines: (905) 476-4305 (905) 722-6518 August I, 1997 \l!1iccml1\r'l\~)A G END A MIG 2 1 ,~\11 if( Of CLAf\\NG1OM tAIJ~'SOff\ct' Ministry of Municipal Affairs, 777 Bay Street, 10th Floor, TORONTO, Ontario MSG 2E5 Attn' Honourable Al Leach.

N~ut~ IIZ 42 PM '97 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I July 30,1997 Dear SirlMadam: Re: Minimum Safety Guidelines for the Renting of Personal Watercraft (PWC) The Canadian Coast Guard, Office of Boating Safety and the Canadian Marine Manufacturers Association (CMMA), are seeking your support in making boating safer on waterways across Canada. Personal Watercraft (PWC) represent a large and fast growing segment of the boating community. This community includes rental business and small enterprises who purchase PWC for the purpose of renting to the general public. ~owever, many who operate a rental craft do so for the first time and may be totally unfamiliar with the PWC and the rules as they apply to them. The Canadian Coast Guard and the Canadian Marine Manufacturers Association recognize the important role of the personal watercraft rental agencies and wish to share with them the Rental Agent's Safety Guide to Renting Personal Watercraft. To do this, we have established that we need your active participation in providing to those who operate a rental business within your municipality a copy of this Guide. In February 1996, the Canadian Coast Guard formed a Personal Watercraft . Working Group to identify significant concerns associated with the use of personal watercraft, assess their significance, and make recomniendations to the Office of Boating Safety on measures to address the concerns. The Working Group included a broad cross- section of representation including cottagers, manufacturers, safety, training and enforcement agencies, representatives of municipal and provincial govemments, insurance representatives and personal watercraft rental operators. The Working Group's recommendations called for the Canadian Coast Guard to work together with the industry to develop guidelinllS for personal watercraft agencies to ensure rental craft are operated safely and responSibly. The Worlcing.Group . recommended that these be distributed through the provinces and municipalities ~d directly to rental agencies. " .., 2 oj I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I The Canadian Coast Guard and the Canadian Marine Manufacturers Association are pleased to have joined forces to develop the recommended rental guidelines. These guidelines represent fundamental basic safety practices and principles for the personal watercraft rental operators. The next step is to provide the guidelines to as many rental agencies as possible. We are confident that through the assistance of organizations such as yours, we will be able to achieve as broad a distribution of these guidelines to locally-based rental agencies operating across the country, Boating Safety is a shared responsibility between government, the boating industry and the boater. The Canadian Coast Guard's Office of Boating Safety has been established to work with the recreational boating community to increase the safety of our waters. The Canadian Marine Manufacturers Association is also committed to promoting safe and enjoyable boating on all waters of Canada, We look forward to your active participation in this positive initiative.

Like all other boaters who take to the waters, safety for PWC owners means being a responsible boater through education on safe and responsible practices, PWC operation and required safety equipment. As a PWC rental operator, you know this is no different for .those who rent a PWC from you. The Canadian Coast Guard, Office of Boating Safety and the Canadian Marine Manufacturers Association, recognize the important role you have undertaken in promoting the safe and responsible operation of rented PWCs. We would like to share with you the Rental Agent's Safety Guide to Renting Personal Watercraft to complement your efforts in ensuring your patrons enjoy a safe experience on Canada's waterways. We acknowledge that many who rent a PWC are renting for the first time and may be totally unfamiliar with the PWC. Even experienced boaters may need to be familiarized with the craft. For some, renting gives them an opportunity to "try one out" before deciding on a purchase while for others, it is part of a fun day on the water. Persons operating rented personal watercraft have been involved in a number of fatal and non-fatal incidents as a result of lack of knowledge and inexperience. Helping to prevent such occurrences is a responsibility we collectively share. In February 1996, the Canadian Coast Guard formed a Personal Watercraft Working Group to identify concerns associated with the use of personal watercraft, assess their significance, and make recommendations to the Office of Boating Safety on measures to address the concerns. The Working Group included a broad cross-section of representation including participants from industry, the rental operations sector, training organizations, enforcement agencies and the insurance indUstry. . . :0 2 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I The Working Group's recommendations called for the Canadian Coast Guard to work together with the PWC industry to develop guidelines for personal watercraft rental agencies to ensure rental craft are operated safely and responsibly. The Working Group recommended that these be distributed through the provinces and municipalities and directly to rental agencies. Insurance industry representatives on the Working Group thought this would make a significant contribution. Another significant conclusion of the Working Group was that mandatory operator training would make an important contribution to improving personal watercraft safety and reducing associated sound and environmental concerns, Mandatory boater training is being considered by Recreational Boating Advisory Councils and Coast Guard. Proposals are expected this fall. Under these rental guidelines, the Coast Guard strongly recOmmends rental PWCs only be operated by persons 16 years of age or over who have completed a PWC training course developed by a training school or organization. The Canadian Marine Manufacturers Association also recommends that you not rent to or have anyone under the age of 16 operate a PWC. Of course, the absolute ideal is that you not rent to anyone who has not taken a basic boating safety course. The Canadian Coast Guard and the Canadian Marine Manufacturers Association are pleased to have joined forces to develop recommended rental guidelines for Rental Agencies. The Rental Agent's Safety Guide to Renting Personal Watercraft presents fundamental basic safety practices and principles for personal watercraft rental operators. We hope these guidelines will help you in your efforts in ensuring the safety of those enjoying this ever popular passtime. Boating safety is a shared responsibility between government, the boating industry and each boater. The Canadian Coast Guard's Office of Boating Safety has been established to work with the recreational boating community to increase the safety of our waters. The Canadian Marine Manufacturers Association is committed to promoting safe and enjoyable boating on all waters of Canada.

TO: All Watershed Municipalities RE: Kawartha Conservation Activities This information bulletin highlights recent activities of Kawartha Conservation. We have appended news reports and other material that augments these highlights. You will note from this cover sheet that we have updated our name and logo. Although corporately we are still "Kawartha Region Conservation Authority", we have shortened our name for public usage to "Kawartha Conservation". The updated logo retains the loon image in a circle rising from our new wordmark. These changes reflect a fresh approach to conservation and resource management at the community level. At the provincial level, we are involved with the marketing committee of Conservation Ontario. Through the efforts of this committee, a partnership between Conservation Ontario and Dofasco Steel has been signed. Financially. Dofasco will be contributing $1 million over the next four years to Conservation Ontario. More importantly however, Dofasco is committed to working with Conservation Ontario on resource management efforts and carrying the message of Conservation Ontario forward to other potential corporate supporters. The target is to create a $60 million fund for conservation work. Locally, Kawartha Conservation has entered into a partnership with Coldwell Banker Kent Place Realty. Financially, Kawartha Conservation will receive fifty dollars from every completed Coldwell Banker transaction. While such additional revenues help support and expand conservation programming, this partnership is much more than mere dollars. Through this partnership. Kawartha Conservation will be promoted in Coldwell Banker advertising; . promotion of conservation is vitally important to us if we are to continue and expand our efforts throughout the community. Most importantly, this Ken Reid ConselValion Area, Kenrei Park Road. R.R. ~ 1.

A fee schedule has been developed for this and came into effect July 1 st. This schedule allows for cost recovery from a third party that , I initiates a land use proposal, thereby not adding additional cost to the Region or the conservation authority, We are hoping that Victoria County may wish to entertain a similar agreement with the four conservation I authorities covering its planning jurisdiction. I -2- partnership brings a commitment from the agents of Coldwell Banker to become actively involved as volunteers in our program and activities, This component of the partnership is of great value to our programming efforts and is vital to the integrity of the partnership. We are extremely pleased that our efforts in water quality have resulted in the creation of a water quality monitoring network across the watershed. Called Kawartha Water Watch, this program was developed with the assistance of Sir Sandford Fleming College. Volunteers from within our communities have come forward to sample and analyze water in lakes and rivers using test kits designed for in-field analysis. This allows us to establish and monitor a station for just $600 (dropping to $300 after the initial year) as compared to thousands of dollars for conventional laboratory analysis. Our aim is to have Kawartha Water Watch funded by local business and community groups. So far we have funding for ten field kits and we are continuing our efforts to find additional sponsors, Our goal is to establish seventy sampling stations across the watershed; the Province has eight stations in our area. As part of our efforts to develop an environmental information base in response to anticipated reductions in data inventorying through provincial ministries, we have initiated (in addition to Kawartha Water Watch) a bird monitoring program across the watershed. Again, volunteers are collecting information on bird sitings and nesting. Since bird populations are sensitive to changes in the environment, a record of species and nesting is a valuable tool for monitoring environmental change over time. In turn, this information is useful as environmental input to land use planning. We are very pleased that Pickseed Canada has joined us as a financial sponsor for this bird monitoring program, pledging $900 per year for three years. It is also noteworthy that birding records in Victoria County are very sparse and our efforts will help substantially augment the records held at the Royal Ontario Museum. I I I I Beach House I I Summer I Employment I I I Conservation Education I I I I Friends Help I I I I I Further Information -3- The beach at Ken Reid Conservation Area now has a change house. There are three regular rooms and two rooms having disabled access. Construction of this facility was made possible through the financial contributions of Friends of Kawartha Region Conservation Au!hority, Friends of the Osprey, and Spokes for Folks. Public use and enjoyment of the beach at Ken Reid continues to be very high. Last year the Province paid for eight summer field workers. This year however, traditional student employment programs were not available to us and thus financing summer students became an issue. However, due to the success we have had in other areas of endeavour, our Board of Directors was able to provide $2,400 in financial support and Friends of KRCA donated $2,100 for student employment. We were able to augment this total funding with a provincial employment incentive of $2.00 per hour and hence we have hired three students for ten weeks. There has been a significant increase in teachers bringing students to Ken Reid Conservation Area this spring for conservation education. While teachers are still reluctant to teach conservation lessons on their own, this upswing in participation is encouraging. We have arranged with students from Sir Sandford Fleming College to voluntarily assist teachers on request. This may help to sustain participation in conservation education programming. Both the Victoria County Board of Education and the Peterborough, Northumberland Separate School Board continue to support conservation education and encourage teachers to bring students to Ken Reid. Friends of Kawartha Region Conservation Authority continue to be extremely helpful, both in terms of funding and in running special conservation events. Year to date, friends has provided $2,700 in funding, held a public workshop on building bird nesting boxes, conducted three nature interpretive walks, set up a conserVation display for Earth Day, organized a family day at Ken Reid, spoken with four community service organizations about conservation, and conducted monthly public lectures on conservation related topics. Friends is our key means of outreach to our watershed population and do a great service to Kawartha Conservation in this regard. In closing, we hope that the above highlights provide you with a sense of the dynamics of the many activities with which Kawartha Conservation is involved. Your municipal representative on our Board of Directors is the key linkage between your municipality and Kawartha Conservation and he or -4- she would be pleased to expand upon any of the above highlights. Furthermore the Chair of Kawartha Conservation, members of our Executive Committee, members of Friends of KRCA, and staff of Kawartha Conservation are available to meet with you should you wish to discuss details of any specific conservation activity.

Ext'ilnding protection for low-in~me senior and disabled homeowners The Fair Municipal Fl1Isnce Act requires municipalities to provide a program of we relief on the municipal portion of property tax paid by low-income property owners who are seniors or have disabilities. The Faif Municipal Finance Act (no, 2) would extend that protection to cover the edUcation portion of property taxes. School boards will reimburse munIcipalities for the education portion of the deferral and will 10 tum be 'reimbursed by the province_ Low-income saniors and persons with disabilities would be protected from tax changes resulting from reassessment. Vacant commercial and industrial lands and units The Fair Municipal F/Ilan~ Act eliminated the Business Occupancy Tax {B01l. and allows mUnicipalities to reeover this revenue from property classes that previously paid BOT or from any other class that is not currently overt:!Xed. according to tax faimess ratios to be set by provincial regulation. Vacant business land and units would be taxed at lower rates: vacant comme<<:ial property at 70 per cent of the commercial rat. and vacant industrial property 8i 65 ~f' cent of the industrial rate. 1 , 06/27/97 15:Z7:52 Est: MunICIPAL FInA?-) + !"FDA (416)979-11'l60 "._. r_..... ...,.~....., ........

Owners of vacant lands and buildings who did not have to pay BOT would retain a similar tax preference. Charitable and similar organizations The Fair MunicIpal Finance Act eliminated the Business Occupancy Tax. and allows municipalities to recover this revenue from property classes that previously paid BOT or from any other class that is not currently overtaxed, according to tax fairness mtios to be set by provincial regulation. . . Municipalities wOl!ld be able to provide rebates to charitable and similar organizations occupying business property. Rebates can be up to 40 per cent of total tax. This allows municipalities to recognize that these organizations paid ~ at the lower resldentlal rate and did not pay BOT. Eligible groups WQuld apply to municipalities annually for this rebate and confirm their eligibility, which will be defined by the Minister of Finance. School boards wiU reimburse municipalities for the education portion of the rebate and will in turn be reimbur:Jed by the province. This provision would recognize thQ bcnmlta thasa groupe prcvide the ccmmunlty. Uve theatres Metro Toronto's commercial live theatre industl'/ is the third largest in the world and. attraCts 90 per Cl!!nt of Ontario's live theatre audience. How~llr. Metro's largest . commercial theatres pay higher property taxes than both their international competitors in New York and London and their publicly-owned local competitors. To help thase theatres compete on an international seale, the government intends to introduoelegislation to exempt Mlitto's large eommoroial live theatres from education property tax. In addition. the Fair Municipal Finance Act no. 2 would enable the MlnlstQr of Finance to create a subclass fOr these theatres. to ensure their municipal taxes are at a competitive laval. Similar publicly-owned live theatres would make payments-in-lieu of taxes to tlle municipality at the same rate as their privately-owned counterparts, when they are occupied by for-profit productions. Smaller live theatree throughout Ontario, which act as a training grouod forthe industry, would be QX9mpted from property taxElS. This would apply to thlilatres with fewer than 1,000 seats. 2 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I IOGrZ7I97 15:28:35 ..-~._.,., EST; I1UnICIPAL FIlIA,?-) + MFOA (416)979-1060 .,.~..,....,_.r-""""" .......~....\..._= J:::>"'I-/~ IU I 9l151iZ34169 M.

It also levels the playing field between private and public commercial enterprises. Rights-of-way Railway, utility and hydro rights-of-way are now taxed at different levelllthmughout the province. This approach created a patchwork of tax rates and an uncertain tax base. Under the Fair Municipal Finance Act (no. 2) , the province would set municipal tax levels per acre for nine geographic regions of the province and Index them to average tax rate changes. The new regional rates would be phased in betwQQn 1999 and 2006. Regional rates would mean fair, consistcr'lt tmatment of rights-of-way property, prevent unpredictable and esoalatlng tax increa$G$,and help stabilize the revenue bMG for municipalities. International bridges The rair Municipal Anance Act (no. 2) proposes to replace the existing system of ~"s~slling and taxing intematlonal bridges and tunnels with a fair and consistent system: .. Bridge structures would not be taxed, but would be subject to a payment prescribed by the Minister of Municipal Affairs. and Housing. .. Land and bUildings would pa.y municipal property tax but not C1ducation tax. .. For privataly-ownad bridges, taxes paid to a munioipalily on the Canadian side cannot be lower than schoo! and municipal taxes paid to the municipality on the American side. If Canadian taxes am lower, the bridge authority must pay an adjustment to the Canadian municipality. This measure would provide consistent tax treatment for International bridges tunn~lll and enhance intemational competitiveness. FElrmland pending development CUrrently, fannland that has been purchased by a developer is assQSSGd as farmland until fanning stops. Some fanl'dand undergoing development attracts very little property tax relative to its 1r.Ilue, pllJtlcularly in the urban fringe. The new am proposes a staged approach to taxation for fannland pending davelopment Dlltails of the stages will be established in regulation. This measure would fairly balance the needs of farmers, municipalities and developers.

I am pleased to submit Metropolitan Toronto Council"s fonnal response to the report for your consideration. Council adopted its response. as embodied in the enclosed report. at its meeting on July 2 and 3,1997. .' As you know, for a number of years Metro Council has advocated the creation of a GTA regional government with sufficient teeth 10 replace an existing layer of municipal government within the GT A. At the same time. Council has recognized the political barriers that must be overcome to achieve that goal. In light of these constraints, Mr. Farrow's proposal represents a sound first step in the right direction, Therefore, Metro Council endorses the principles and the overall approach to the creation of a GTSB that Mr. Farrow presented in his report of June 18, 1997. entitled "Getting Together", While Council agrees with the general thrust of the proposal, we are concerned that the precise implications of certain elements will not be apparent until they are spelled out in more detail in draft" legislation. For this reason, it is imperative that the affected municipal governments, including the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. be provided with an adequate oppornmity to review and comment upon draft legislation to establish the GTSB. Through this leller. I am requesting you to ensure that an appropriate consultation period is provided for that purpose. We are hopeful that the legislation that establishes the GTSB will plant the seeds for its evolution into an effective regional government for the Toronto city region. Some of these seeds should be procedural and premised on the fundamental principles of open and democratic government that guide tl>~ proceedings of all municipal government in Ontario. Therefore, Metro Council recommends that the legislation that creates the GTSB should ensure that the meelings of the Executive. advisory and any other standing committees of the Board be open to the public and media and include opportunities for public input through deputations or written submissions subject to the rules that apply to all municipal governments in the GT A under the current Municipal Act. .\ ,I I I I I -2- You will note in the enclosed comments that Council has some concerns about the ramifications of extending borrowing powers to the GTSB prior to its evolution into a full regional government. We are recommending that, until the GTSB has evolved to the point where it replaces one of the remaining two levels of govemment in the GT A, the GTSB be permitted to borrow only for the purposes of GO Transit over which service it will have exclusive jurisdiction_ Further, because of our concerns about the use of revenue bonds, we recommend that. rather than providing the GTSB with the power to borrow. other than for the purposes of GO Transit, it be granted the power to levy a charge against the City of Toronto and the four member regional municipalities for its capital financing requirements.

A rational mechanism to mitigate the effects oftranSfening additional social assistance and social housing costs to the municipal level, is to share the municipal portion of these costs more fairly across the economic region. The creation of a GTSB provides a vehicle to achieve this fairer pooling of responsibility for the region's economically disadvantaged population. Therefore it was disappointing to find no reference to social infrastructure in Mr. Farrow's report. Metro Council recommends that the GTSB be given the responsibility for funding the municipal portion of social assistance and social housing in the GT A. Council recommends that the portion of these social infrastructure costs that is levied against the City of Toronto and each of the four member regional municipalities should be proportionate to their respective shares of the GTA's assessment base. Council supports the proposal that the GTSB coordinate transit between regions. However. it should not follow that the TIC, which is by far the most efficient transit system in the GTA. should begin to subsidize less efficient systems in other parts of the GT A. Therefore, Metro Council recommends that, consistent with the provisions of Bill 148, the TIC continue as a regional transit authority within Metro (the new City of Toronto), and regional transit authorities be established in the regions surrounding Metro, for example. Transit West, Transit North and Transit East to finance and coordinate local transit within their respective regions. tam encouraged that your publie statements following the release of Mr. Farrow's report appear quite consistent with Metro Council's positions in the enclosed report. 4- Alan Toilks Chairman cc: Premier Mike Harris Members of Metropolitan Toronto Council Mr. Milt Farrow GT A Mayors and Regional Chairs I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 1 AGENDA COUNCIL INFORMATION O~ MISS/SS $-<."~ '" 7 IZ" I'll '91 ,~.; 09.o0R"1~'O I-52 OFFICE OF THE MAYOR July 28, 1997 GTA Mayors & Regional Chairs Re: Greater Toronto Services Board On July 16, 1997, the City ofMississauga COlUlcil endorsed the attached report regarding the creation of the Greater Toronto Services Board. The City ofMississauga has recognized the need for greater co-ordination of services within the Greater Toronto Area and looks to the Province of Ontario to create a strong, powerful and effective decision making body that would be given full responsibility and authority for a number of GTA wide services. However, to be successful the creation of the GTSB also requires the elimination of the four remaining Regional Gove=ents in the GTA. We recognize that to a large extent, Mr. Farrow made a number of recommendations that are consistent with points raised by the City of Mississauga in our earlier submission. Unfortunately, Mr. Farrow's report does not go far enough given that he has reco=ended a GTSB that would work in concert with both the local and regional municipalities. The Regional level of gove=ent needs to be eliminated at the same time that the GTSB is created. In addition, the City of Mississauga has concerns with respect to the implementation of the GTSB and how the legislation is going to be drafted. We believe that the principles of representation by population and user pay must be enshrined in the legislation that creates the GTSB. Mississauga has a significant concern about the protection of existing municipal assets and the liability for existing debts; as well as the waste management proposal, which could duplicate the work of the Interim Waste Authority. The GTSB will also need to bavea very strong pJ~nn;ng strategy that will deal with the urban sprawl issue; urban areas, where the existing infrastructure is located, must be developed first, with growth going to the rural areas, only after the urbanr~-m...----TION-f development. i ~LERK .

As you know, on May 1, Premier Mike Harris announced a new division of responsibilities between the province and municipalities. The provincial proposal would cut residential property taxes for education in half, giving municipalities tax room to take on responsibility for a number of new services best delivered locally. The end result will be better services, more efficient and accountable government, and potential property tax reductions in the future. Two weeks ago, we released the preliminary figures that show the estimated costs of the Who Does What reforms. These numbers, while not the final product, do allow municipalities to begin their budgeting process. Today the Minister of Community and Social Services introduced the Services Improvement Act which, if passed by the Legislature, would provide a legal framework for the new funding arrangements announced in May. The bill allows for the transfer to municipalities of the responsibility for program delivery and funding of local services effective January I, 1998. As this bilLgoes through the legislative process, there will be opportunities for your input. At the same time, the government will continue to work with the municipal sector, through the Provincial-Municipal Implementation Team and the Social and Community Health Services Implementation Team, to ensure a smooth transition to the new provincial and municipal responsibilities. I have enclosed for your information a news release and backgrounders on the various parts of the legislation. The first reading bill should be available shortly. If you have 1ii~~iO-N-f:" legislation, please feel free to contact your local office of the Ministry ofMuniFip,a.l~~_. f Housing Regional Operations Branch. i ,I.e.... ---- I ~ "". ""( ~ i -~i...i\.

Subject to the approval of the Legislature, the legislation is the next step in implementing the Who Does What package announced May 1. It would assist In the smooth transfer of responsibilities to municipalities for program delivery and funding in whole or in part for a number of local services. This bill provides more detail to the May 1 announcement," Ecker said. "It would allow for interim funding arrangements to settle who pays for what while we continue to work with municipalities on the details of the transfer of the programs. .The government and municipalities are working towards a common goal of less burden on the taxpayer: Ecker said. "Municipalities have to continue to find savings, identify efficiencies and keep costs down." The legislation. which would take effect January 1, 1998, brings forward initiatives of several ministries. all under the common theme of Who Does What: . Municipalities would have full responsibility for funding social housing. While funding responsibility would change January 1. 1998, the govemment will work with municipalities to reform social housing programs and proposes to transfer administrative responsibilities to municipalities by 2000. (Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing) . Municipalities would be responsible for funding local public health services and land ambulance services. These services will continue to be delivered locally, where they can be tailored to meet local needs while maintaining provincial standards. Assuming responsibility for funding land ambulances gives municipalities more flexibility to look at integrating emergency services to better serve the community. (Ministry of Health) . Municipalities would be required to cost-share and to manage delivery of child care services within comprehensive provincial standards to provide the best possible child care for children. (Ministry of Community and Social Services) . The responsibility for regulating on-site septic systems in the Environmental Protection Act would be incorporated into the Building Code Act. Municipalities would be responsible.for the approval and inspections of on-site systems. This would streamline service through a one- window approach to home owners and builders, eliminating excess red tape. Large scale septic systems, communal systems and hauled sewage systems would be a provincial responsibility. Given on-going discussions regarding northem service delivery, responsibility for enforcing standards for on-site sewage systems in northem municipalities and unorganized areas will remain with primarily existing delivery agents. (Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing) . On January 1, 1998, municipalities in the area served by GO Transit would assume responsibility for its funding. The legislation tabled today would provide for municipal funding until legislation, if passed, establishes a new governance mechanism for GO Transit. (Ministry of Transportation) "This bill would allow these services to be delivered and funded by municipal governments, which are best able to identify and respond to local needs," Ecker added. "The end result will be better services, more efficient and accountable govemment, and property tax reductions in future years." - 30- For more information, please contact: Catherine Melville MCSS Minister's office 325-5213 Christine Burkitt MMAH Minister's office (416) 585-6932 .

The legislation would give municipalities responsibility for program funding in whole or in part for a number of local services they will take on as part of the Who Does What initiative. What Is In the Bill? Included in this bill are measures designed to improve and strengthen the system of social housing in Ontario. Currently, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and the province share many of the costs for social housing. This includes the costs associated with the Ontario Housing Corporation, non-profit and co-operative housing and rent supplement programs. Under this bill, the province would collect the provincial share of social housing costs from municipalities as of January 1, 1998 - the date when municipalities stop paying 50 per cent of education costs. The federal contribution will still go to pay for social housing and municipalities will not be responsible for this portion of the costs. The upper tier municipality would be responsible for paying the costs of social housing. These include the new City of Toronto, regional municipalities, counties, separated cities, district municipalities, District Welfare Administration Boards and proposed District Social Service Administration Boards or other similar boards or agencies in the north. Subject to passage of the legislation, the upper tier municipality paying the cost of social housing would divide this amount among the lower tier muriicipalities based on their property assessment. The legislative further provides that if upper tier and lower tier municipalities agree, an alternative cost sharing formula can be put in place, except where a cost sharing formula has otherwise been provided by regulation. The Social and Community Health Services Implementation Team will be providing further advice on cost-sharing among municipalities and new consolidated service delivery. The legislation provides flexibility to put in place these types of arrangements. The province will also consult with municipalities (or representatives of municipalities) on the following areas: (1) the formula for allocating Costs among upper tier municipalities; and (2) the timing of the bills and payments. The proposed legislation will allow the province to pass regulations in these areas. 1 The changes proposed in the bill will have no impact on social housing tenants or the operating relationship between the ministry and social housing. providers. How Does this Fit into Who Does What? Social housing is one of the community services needed by low income people that can be better provided at the community level. As a consequence, social housing is being transferred to municipalities as part of the Who Does What initiative. The government has taken 50 per cent of the cost of education off the residential property tax, leaving room for municipalities to take on some new responsibilities, including social housing. The govemment plans a three-stage process to devolve social housing to municipalities. (1) transfer funding responsibility to municipalities as of January 1, 1998; (2) reform social housing programs by mid to late 1998; and (3) gradually transfer the administration of social housing to municipalities by the year 2000. The bill introduced today is the first stage in the transfer of social housing. What's Next? The government is working in conjunction with the Advisory Council on Social Housing Reform on the second stage of the devolution process- the reform of social housing programs to improve program administration. The Advisory Council will make recommendations to the Minister on program reform by fall, and it is expected that reforms to the program will be underway by mid to late 19.98. The province will also continue discussions with the federal government on a new federal-provincial housing agreement that could transfer federal housing programs to the province.

August 21, 1997 3 Backgrounder Public Health Programs I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I The proposed Services Improvement Act is the next step in the implementation of the Who Does What package announced May 1. The legislation would give municipalities responsibility for program funding in whole or in part for a number of local services they will take on as part of the Who Does What initiative. What is in the Bill? Under the proposed Services Improvement Act, municipalities will assume 100 per cent funding responsibility for public health programs beginning January 1, 1998. Municipalities will be able to be more flexible in tailoring public health programs to meet local needs. All communities will, however, be required to meet provincial standards. The Bill provides direction on how municipalities will fund programs and share costs in multi-municipality health units. The municipalities will be required by the proposed legislation to deliver mandatory programs in three key areas. They are: . chronic disease prevention, including heart disease, cancer and prevention of Injuries. . infectious disease control, including AIDS and sexually-transmitted diseases, vaccine preventable diseases and the control of outbreaks of infectious diseases. . family health, including child health, nutrition, sexual and reproductive health. Boards of health will continue to deliver public health programs in accordance with provincial standards enforced through the proposed legislation. Also the Ministry of Health will continue to have the ability to respond to emergency health risks when needed. How does it fit into WOW? Municipalities and the province currently share funding for most mandatory public health programs with the province paying a few additional programs at 100 per cent, such as AIDS and sexual health. In 36 boards of health, programs have been funded 75 per cent by the province and 25 per cent by their municipality. . I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I In the six boards of health of Metropolitan Toronto, programs have been funded 40 per cent by the province and 60 per cent by their municipality. The province will continue to undertake overall disease surveillance, provide vaccines for immunization programs and give professional expertise and consultation to.the local boards of health. In addition, the province will continue to fund certain programs - such as the Healthy Babies, Healthy Children program, which will help children at risk and provide them with needed community supports. What are the next steps? There will be ongoing collaboration between the Ministry of Health and municipalities to ensure pUblic health programs remain accessible and consistent for all Ontarians. The provincial mandatory public health program standards will be available to the municipalities and their boards of health prior to January 1998. The proposed standards are currently being reviewed by municipal associations, 42 boards of health and public health organizations. The Ministry of Health and municipalities will continue to work together through the Social and Community Health Services Implementation Team to address issues arising from this change in funding responsibilities.

The legislation would give municipalities responsibility for program funding in whole or in part for a number of local services they will take on as part of the Who Does What initiative. What is in the Bill? Under the proposed Services Improvement Act, municipalities will assume 100 per cent funding responsibility for land ambulance services beginning January 1, 1998. These. services will continue to be delivered locally, where they will be able to be tailored to meet local needs within provincial standards. Municipalities will have a greater opportunity to create efficiencies as they explore ways to better integrate services (e.g., firefighting, ambulance and police, or ambulance with other health and social services). How does it fit into WOW? Current Situation . This province-wide system provides emergency response to more than 1.2 million requests every year. . There are currently 172 land ambulance services operating in Ontario: 10 by the province, 64 hospital-based, 16 municipal, 13 volunteer groups and 69 privately-run. . For example, since 1975 Metropolitan Toronto has directly operated and participated in funding for ambulance services. Transition Period Under the proposed legislation, the province will be providing the existing operators and municipalities with a two year transition period to facilitate the implementation of the Services Improvement Act without disruption to service delivery. On January 1, 1998, with Ministry approval, Regional municipalities that are ready could choose to take over the responsibility for contracting with and funding directly existing land ambulance services. During the transition period, the province will continue to contract for the delivery of land ambulance services in those regional municipalities which have chosen not to do so, and in all other areas of the province. The province will bill the respective municiparrties for ambulance services provided during the two year period. I I I I I I I I I I I I I II I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I By January 1, 2000, all regions and other upper-tier municipalities will have to assume responsibility for delivering, or contracting for, aU land ambulance services. By that date, municipalities will have had to select from the options of directly providing land ambulance services, establishing a contract with an existing provider, or selecting the highest quality, best price operator to deliver the service through a Request For Proposal process. On January 1, 2000, in those areas that do not fonn part of an upper-tier municipality, arrangements would be put into place to ensure the local management and fair sharing of the costs of services by local municipalities and the residents of a territory without municipal organization. Local management would be carried out by service boards or municipalities. What are the next steps? . There will be ongoing collaboration between the Ministry of Health and municipalities to ensure land ambulance services remain accessible and consistent for ail Ontarians. Both during and after the transition period, the Ministry of Health will continue to be the licencing body for ambulance service operators, providers and vehicles. The Ministry will also continue to set, monitor and enforce standards of operation for service delivery, vehicles, equipment, patient care provider qualifications and response times. The Ministry of Health will also continue to: . fund and co-ordinate central ambulance dispatch centres which direct the movement of all land and air ambulance operations across the province. . set co-payments for ambulance services that apply consistently across Ontario. . work together with municipalities in conjunction with the Social and Community Health Services Implementation Team and other stakeholders through Emergency Health Services advisory groups. The Ministry of Health will also continue to meet regularly with provider representatives.

The legislation would give municipalities responsibility for cost-sharing- a number of local services they will take on as part of the WOW initiative. What's in the Bill? The government is proposing to amend the Day Nurseries Act to make it mandatory, for the first time, for municipalities to cost-share and manage the delivery of child care services. Child care would be delivered at the local level by delivery agents within comprehensive provincial standards. Children are a priority for this government. The government has already increased spending on child care to up to $600 million - the highest level in the history of this province. These amendments to the Day Nurseries Act would improve the child care system by providing more access to child care services for families in need. The Bill proposes: . . Mandatory cost-sharing between the province and municipalities for all child care services beginning January 1,1998; . Municipal management of the delivery of all child care services; . Amendments that would pennit the Minister to designate geographic areas and to designate municipalities or social services administration boards as delivery agents. How Ooes this Fit into Who Ooes What? The proposed amendments would enable the government to implement its decision regarding funding of child care services. As previously announced as part of the Who Does What initiative, all child care services would be cost-shared 80 per cent by the province and 20 per cent by municipalities. What's Next It is intended that mandatory cost-sharing between Ontario and municipalities for all child care services would be effective January 1, 1998. The govemment will continue to work with its municipal partners to plan for these improvements to the child care system. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I First Nations Cost-sharing arrangements for fee subsidies for First Nations on reserve would not be affected by the proposed provisions of the Bill, nor would the management of child care services on reserves.

The legislation would give municipalities responsibility for program funding in whole or in part for a number of local services they will take on as part of the Who Does What initiative. What is in the Bill? This legislation proposes that the part of the Environmental Protection Act regulating on-site sewage systems be transferred from the Ministry of Environment and Energy to the Building Code Act administered by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. It is intended that this take place in March 1998. The legislation would allow a one-window approach at the municipal level. The building industry and the public would only have to deal with one pennit, one code, one appeals process and one ministry. This would reduce red tape and the regulatory burden on business, simplify municipal enforcement, and provide opportunities for cost savings through co-ordination of approvals and inspections. The rules goveming septics would be strengthened to protect public health and the environment. The province would continue to have tough rules for septic system installation and operation to protect public health and the environment. The province would incorporate into the Building Code Act the stringent certification requirements initially proposed under the Water and Sewage Services Improvement Act for septic system installers and inspectors, which would ensure a higher level of competency and consistency in program delivery. In unorganized areas ofthe province, septic systems have bee.n inspected and approved by health boards for many years. Until new service delivery arrangements are made in the north, primarily existing delivery agents will continue to regulate septics. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Some septics issues are beyond the nonnal scope of the Building Code. These include large and communal sewage systems and the haulage of sewage. The Ministry of the Environment and Energy will continue to be responsible for regulating these sewage matters under its legislation. How Does this Fit into Who Does What? The regUlation and inspection of septic systems has been the responsibility of the Ministry of Environment and Energy under the terms of the Environmental Protection Act. The Who Does What panel recommended that municipalities assume the responsibility for septic systems from the Ministry of the Environment and Energy. As well, the Red Tape Commission recommended a one-window building regulation service. In 1997, the government passed the Water and Sewage Services Improvement Act, which included the transfer of responsibility for septics to municipalities and to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. What's Next? It is intended that the transfer of the septics program to municipalities would be effective in March 1998. This would provide municipalities with sufficienttime to have their staff trained and certified to take over responsibility for septics. As well, the March 1998 date would also coincide with the release of the next edition of the Ontario Building Code, allowing municipalities to begin their responsibilities with the latest version of the code.

The legislation would give municipalities responsibility for program funding in whole or in part for a number of local services they will take on as part of the Who Does What initiative. One of these services is GO Transit. What is in the Bill? On January 1, 1998, municipalities in the area served by GO Transit would assume responsibility for its funding. However, a permanent area-wide governance mechanism responsible for GO Transit operations and funding may not be in place by that date. To enable municipal funding cif GO Transit until a permanent mechanism is in place, the Toronto Area Transit Operating Authority Act (TATOA), would be amended. This Bill would repeal section 8 of the TATOA that deals with costs. In its place, it would create a mechanism for the recoverY of costs associated with GO Transit's operating and capital deficit from the affected Regional Municipalities of Peel, Durham, York, Halton and Hamilton-Wentworth and the new City of Toronto. The proposed legislation provides for cost-sharing among the regional municipalities. The allocation of costs among the regional municipalities and the City of Toronto will be the subject of further consultation and the bill allows for another mechanism to be put in place. How does it fit into WOW? The province now subsidizes GO Transit's operating and capital requirements - approximately $110 million - and appoints the Chair of GO's Board of Directors. Since this service meets mainly local and regional needs, responsibility for funding would be transferred to the municipalities served by GO Transit. This will result in GO Transit being more accountable to local communities. The delivery of transit entirely at the municipal level may also encourage greater transit integration across the Greater Toronto Area. What are the next steps? Until a pennanent govemance mechanism is in place, the current Board of Directors which is headed by a govemment appointed chainnan and is made up of the chairs ofthe regional municipaliti~ in the Greater Toronto Area and Hamilton-Wentworth. The GO Chair position is currently vacant and the York Region chair Eldred King is serving as interim chair. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I The Minister of Transportation would consult with the municipalities to develop a cost- sharing formula. A simple, equitable method for cost-sharing among the municipalities will take GO Transit through the transition period. One approach to a cost sharing fonnula was included in the announcement on August 6,1997 on WOW cost impacts to municipalities. This was for illustrative purposes only, in advance of the Minister's consultation with the municipalities. \ The government initiated review "Getting Together" recommends that GO Transit be govemed by the Greater Toronto Services Board. A decision is expected in the fall and further legislation will be introduced.

We are pleased to attach an outline of the Centre's mandate, objectives and range of operations as well as a list of publications that are now available from the Centre. A key objective of CMAR is to act as a national clearing house of information with respect to agreements, research, effective practices and other information relevant to municipal-Aboriginal relations. The Centre is now updating a survey of relationships between municipal governments and Aboriginal peoples undertaken by the FCM in 1993 when it prepared a brief to the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. We append the questionnaire and request your participation in the survey as it relates to your community. The information you provide will fonn part of an up-to-date profile of the agreements and arrangements in place, and will be used to create a comprehensive inventory of model agreements and political and administrative relationships. This resource will be available to municipal governments involved in developing relationships between municipal and First Nation governments and Aboriginal communities. The CMAR will develop a database and information system to provide municipal governments with ready access to the experiences of other municipal governments across Canada. .../2 Ft'd{~I'lIliOl1 of Canadian MUllil'illalitil's F,;,:..: .Ilillll CiUllidil'lllh' 11,'" tllllllil"ill.:i!',', Indian TaxaLiul1 Advisory BO.1rtlt:(Inlllli,-;,,:~ "lJlslIltillin' dl' 1;lli~,';i1ih" indl,':':j..

The intro- duction of taxation by-laws, additions to reserves and the creation of urban reserves changes established rela- tions between municipal governments and First Nations, requiring adaptation on the part of both parties. The implementation of the inherent right of self-gov. ernment and the negotiation of comprehensive claims, treaties, treaty land entitlement agreements and spe- cific claims have a significant impact on relations between municipal governments and First Nations. The development of balanced agreements - with the effective participation of all concerned parties - sets the stage for joint implementation at the community level and can be the catalyst for establishing positive ongoing relations. There may also be opportunities to collaborate on economic development and co-opera- tion in planning and environmental management processes. b. Relations concerning urban Aboriginal citizens This theme addresses relations between municipal gov. ernments and Aboriginal citizens in urban areas. In many urban centres, Aboriginal peoples represent a significant and distinctive population with unique needs. Models for service delivery to Aboriginal citizens, con- sultation and liaison, and relations with Aboriginal associations are being developed and implemented. Self-government arrangements for Aboriginal citizens without a land base are also being examined, provid- ing an opportunity to explore and to promote practi- cal pilot projects. c. Relations between rural municipalities and Aboriginal communities This theme addresses relations between smaller and rural municipalities, their resident Aboriginal population and adjacent Aboriginal communities. The majority of First Nation lands are located in rural or remote regions. Like smaller and rural municipalities, many First Nations are buffeted by shifts in resource-based economies adjusting to national and international eco- nomic forces. Co-management regimes for resources and environmen- .. tal protection, as well as co-operative arrangements for participation in regional economic development are important to these communities. The impact of land selection resulting from claims, additions to reserves and provisions for tax loss compensation may also have a significant impact on relations. CMAR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES .

The objective is to generate an up-to-date national portrait of municipal-Aboriginal relations, and to collect agreements and documentation of other arrangements in place. This information will contribute to a database cataloguing the agreements in place across Canada, and a system to facilitate access to model agreements. This resource will be available to anyone involved in municipal-Aboriginal intergovernmental relations. The survey asks about agreements or arrangements in your community. To assist with the development of this national inventOl)', we request that you fOIWard the completed questionnaire along with copies of any agreements, tenns of reference, or documentation of other arrangements in your community. Your participation is very much appreciated. If you have any questions, please call Leanne Bennett or Peter Frood at (613) 954-6201.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On June 18, 1997, the Special Advisor to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing released the report entitled 'Getting Together" w!,ich contains an extensive set of recommendations and directions dealing with the creation, rolll and responsibilities, organization and finance, and staffing ofthe proposed Greater Toronto Services Board. The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing has provided an opportunity to provide comments and submissions until July 31,1997. The purpose of this report is to bring forward to Council for its approvaVamendment, a response to the Minister. In summary, MiKon's position Is as follows: . MiKon endorses a strong role for the GTSB. . The GTSB must adopt previous Provincial studies and municipal plans as the basis for the development of its Infrastructure Coordination Strategy. . The GTSB should be a utility-type body with the Chair and members appointed by the Province. . The GTSB's role in Economic Development should be limited to coordinating the work of the many agencies Involved and avoiding duplication. REPORT: CA0-25-97 Page 2. ~~I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I EJJI MiltoN p The Corporation of the TOWN OF MILTON . Halton's Waste Management Site should be excluded from the GTSB's mandate for the life of the facility. . Administrative costs of the GTSB should be funded by the Province. . Service costs (capnal and operating) should be on a "user pay" basis. . For Capital borrowing of major infrastructure, the Province should expand the role to create a province-wide financing capability such as exists in other provinces. Attached to this report are: a) Mitton's comments on the detailed recommendations of "Getting Together", b) M. Farrow's letter to Minister A. Leach dated June 23, 1997 re: the exclusion of Halton's Waste Managen:"ent Site. The following Appendices are attached to the report: AppendixA - 'Go Transit the Next 30 Years - Transition Challenges" Appendix B - Counclllor Challlnor's comments on the GTSB - letter dated July 10, 1997 AppendiX C - Town of Milton's previous Response to the Discussion Paper entitled 'Developing the Framework for a GTSB', March 3, 1997 Appendix D - Resolution by the Committee of Rural Mayors REPORT Milton's detailed response to the 33 recommendations is attached to this report. The Town wishes to highlight the following: Milton Endorses A Strono Role For The GTSS in this report M. Farrow stated that three models were considered for the GTSB as follows: Model 1 : SIngle Purpose Board: DiscussIon and Settlement Based on thIs model, the GTSB would be a sIngle purpose coordinating body aeslgned to gaIn consensus on matters of Interest to: all GTA municipalities; to the provincial or federal government; or, between one or more municIpalities, If they were unable to reach agreement on an Inter-regional selVicing Issue. The GTSB would: _ provide a dIscussion forum for respondIng to matters of interest to the future well-beIng of the GTA; 1"1a I MILTON """ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I The Corporation of the TOWN OF MILTON REPORT: CAO-25-97 Page 3. - settle inter-regional matters - either proactive/y where the greater well-being of the GTA reqUires the issue to be settled more expeditiously, oron the Invitation of one or other of the municipalities; and - operate GO Transit. Model 2: Dual Purpose Board: Infrastructure Coordination and Discussion. and Settlement Based on this model, the GTSB would be a dual purpose coordinating body. It would build on the discussion and sattlement role outlined In Modal 1 by adding the role of proactive strategic Infrastructure coordination. The GTSB would also: - provide strategic direction on urban settlement patterns In the GT A and require the efficient use of existing Infrastructure - coordinate Infrastructure requirements, beginning with key growtfJ-re/ated services such as sewer and water, transit waste disposal, economic development consaN8tion, watershad management and environmental protection In the GTA; - set priorities and make decisions on capital Investments for key Infrastructure in the GTA; and, - develop a future post-collection waste management strategy. Model 3: Multi-Purpose Board ~,;T', Based on this model, the board would cariyout all the functions outlined In Models 1 and 2 plus assume the role of owner or operator, or both, of key seNices in the GTA. The GTSB would also: - own or operate key selVlces In the GTA (e.g. Water and sewer systems); and, - eventually replace one of the two levels of municipal government In his report, Mr. Farrow has recommended that the mandate of the GTSB be based on Model 2. In its previous submission, Response to ~Developlng the Framework for a Greater Toronto Services Board", Milton Council endorsed the creation of the GTSB. Milton's view was that the GTSB should go well beyond the "discussion form" type of body. . The GTSB should have sufficient powers to resolve disputes, pOssibility through ownership of the assets, such that decisions could be made and disputes rasolved so as to preclude lengthy court appeals and delays. Mitton continues to support the creation of The Corporation of the TOWN OF MILTON 51 MiltoN p REPORT: CAO-25-97 Page 4. ~ I I I I a strong GTSB but should go one step further than that proposed (Le. Model 2 plus possible ownership of infrastructure assets in addition to GO Transit). The GTSB does not need to manage the operations or deliver the service which could be accomplished through various agreements with munlclpalRles and/or the private sector where appropriate. GTSB Must Recoanlze ProvlnclallMunlclDal Plans For The GTA (Past. Present and Future Milton supports the preparation of an Infrastructure Coordination Strategy by the GTSB. Milton also believes that previous plans and policies of the Province and the municipalities be the foundation on which this strategy is built. Significant planning work on the GTA has already been accomplished in the GTA Urban Structure ConceDts Studv IIBI GroUD et al. 19901 GTA 2021 . The Challenae Of Our Future: A Worklna Document Office for the GT A. 19911. and The ReDor! of the GTA Task Force lOr. Anne Golden. Chair. 19961. There has been significant speculation that a GTSB would develop an infrastructure strategy that would be center-based, supporting the concept of developing the core at the expense of the peripheral municipalities in the 905 area. The first two studies above supported the nodal model of population growth In the GT A and Milton continues to support this model of growth and settlement for the GT A. The studies recognized Milton's growth plans and the need for servicing. The GTA Urban Structure Conceots Studv Identified Milton as an urban node with growth potential and acknowledged our need for a lake-based wateriwastewater system. GTA 2021 - The Challenoe of Our fY!!!m showed the Halton Urban Structure Plan CHUSPllake-based servicing scheme. The report of the GTA Task Force noted our expanded urban area boundaries in their depiction ofthe current urban form of the GTA. HUSP built upon the directions of the earlier studies and The Halton Reolon Official Plan acknowledges the GT A population projection _ an additional 200,000 people by the year 2016 and 340,000 by the year 2021. The collective principles on which these plans have been based are: . a strong urban core . nodal growth patterns . compact urban forms . redevelopment of 'brown field' sRes It Is on these principles that Milton has prepared lis new Official Plan, which has just received Initial approval by the Region of Halton. The expanded urban boundary for the new Official Plan will be approved once the servicing scheme has been determined. Milton's support for a strong GTSB Is based on the assumption that the nodal model of growth and settlement will continue to be the foundation on which the GTSB's Infrastructure Coordination Strategy will be built.

The GTSB Should Be A Utlllty.Tvoe Bodv Milton's position is to see the creation of a utility-type body with the Chair and members appointed by the Province, representing a balance of ProYincial, municipal and private sector Interests. The GTSB should also Include a balance of reprasentatlon from each Region in the GTA. If the Province chooses municipal political representation as proposad, then the parity model (2 representatives from each Region) should be used. The Role In Economic DeveloDment The GTSB's role In Economic Development should be to coordinate the economic development activities of the many agencies involved. It should identify where Its Infrastructure and services within Its mandate can support the economic development efforts of the GT A. It must ensure that activities are not duplicated and that Its . infrastructure initiatives of the various agenclas involved i.e. municipalities, the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance (GTMA), the Greater Toronto Economic Development Partnership, the Greater Toronto Airports Authority, Tourism Toronto. the Harbour CommisslonsIPort Authorities and SMART Toronto. Consideration should be given to redirecting monies currently expended by the Province through the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade & Tourism to the GTSB's economic development activities in the GT A. Halton's Waste Manaaement Site Excluded In his letter to the Province dated June 23,1997, (see attachment) Mr. Farrow has recommended that "the (Halton) Region retain the authority to determine how the Halton Region Waste Management Site would be used". Halton Region and municipalities should be excluded from all costs for the life of Its facility. In the creation of the GTSB, the Province must recognize this in legislation. Financlna And Staffina Given the responsibilities of the GTSB and the objectivity required to effectively deal with GTA municipalltles, the GTSB should hire Its own resources and/or second staff from the Province and/or municipalities on a charge-back basis and where particular expertise exists. Administrative costs should be funded by the Province. As recommended, the costs of all Interregional growth related services which the GTSB Is responsible for should be based on the principles of "user pay" and balanced budget Full recovery of capital costs and operating expenditures should be achieved through various user fees. Municipalities wishing to purchase such services would do so from the GTSB much as local electrical capacity Is purchased from Ontario Hydro. It would be Important that the GTSB maintain control over public policy decisions relating to this service (e.g. rates) particularly where the private sector may be Involved in building and/or operating the service. REPORT: CAQ-25-97 Page 6. 1 I I I 1 i:iI MILtoN ~ The Corporation of the TOWN OF MILTON CaDltal Borrowlno In addition to the recommendations contained In Mr. Farrow's report, the Province should consider creating .a Province-wide capital financing capability similar to that which exists In other Provinces. This should Include coordinating alternate capital funding for Infrastructure service development and underwriting debt for major projects so as to facilitate alternative service delivery models.

Honourable AI Leach Minister Minister's Office Ministty of Municipal Affairs and Housing 777 Bay Street, 17th Floor Toronto, Ontario MSG 2E5 Dear Mr. Leach: Further to the letter of transmittal which accompanied my report on the Greater Toronto Serviees Board, I would like to add a point of clarification on a particular issue. I omitted to include a specific reference to the Halton Waste M1magement Site in the report, despite my IISSIU'IU1CeS to those in Halton Region to do so. During my consultations with the politicians and staff in Halton, I assured them that, if and when, a Greater Toronto Services Board were established it would be my recommendation that the Region retain the authority to detennine how the Halton Region Waste Management Site would be used. Given the significant commitment of capital, both human and financial, which the Region has invested in the development of the site, I feel this unique resource should receive specific consideration. I regret that I omitted to include this recommendation in the Getting Together document. I ask that you give it equal weight to the other recommendations included in my report. .. Once again, thank you for the opportunity to advise you on this important matter. ,. . I I I . . I . I I I I I I I . I . / / /"" '\.- \.......~"-" ...~ G. .

HA..'\C's mandate is to advise re2ion.:!.1 council on issues tIuIt affect agriculture a rut:! are.1S In l: region, such .1$ I:md-use pl.lnning, IlU'3.J devcl~pmc:n[, mOld and water usage." HAAC is composed of grassrool1 agricultural citizens (who meet monthly on a volumec:r b:asis), council members and pl.1nning suff. Over the years an cxcclJcm "larking relatianship has de\-elaped between regional planning su:ff;. regional counci~ :and the members afHA.<\.C. We arc concerned that the recommendations of the "Getting Together" report may preclude both this rel3tionship and the agricultur31 communil,)"'s ....oice in pl3nning issues. I I I We, at H.~C, rea.lize the economic :and cn\;ronment:alliCnctits of Igriculture not only to the Region of Halton, but to all ofthc GTA. Someone has to clClln the smog that the city of Toronto produces. Agriculture produces the prodUCEs to aUow all ofus to etUoy relati....'Cly inexpensive food, plus the agricultural land b.ue in Halton is used far the economical and environmentoaJly fiiendly dispoSal otbio--solids from urban sources within the Region. I HAA.c has sevmI concerns with the recommencbtions of ..Getting Together." First is the commitment to regional government. Reference is made to Minister LCilCh's COmment that "Regional and local municipalities in the GT A should both continue for the lime being, but what is the "time being." Lo.. of regional government would dirccdy impact the agricullunl community, as 10: . where would our voice be heard, . would we have to approach and plan with four area municipalities, . how does this reduce duplication? Our second concern is the limited representation of Halton on the GTSB. With Me out of28 members from Halton, this 7% represents considerably less than the1and base that HallOn contributes to the GTA. When agricultur.J:l/llU"3lland-usc issues in our region arc discussed, what voice would Halton have? Wh:a.t represcnution would CllQI H:1lton have? I I I HAAC que, "ions the.setup I membctship of the Rural Issues Advisory Commillcc. This committee seems to want to be a duplicate ofHAAC in a GT A wide basis. Is the ma:kc-up to be private citizens for the nJr31 area to be aft"ected. or elected. Officials? Our commiacc, HAAC, is a anc-of-:a-kind. in Ontario, but the model is being looked at in ncighbowing Pecl Region. It is hoped that the RlAC would have the same relationship between powte Nr:al citizens and government that HAAC and this region share. Where would the voice of agriCulture and rur:aI issues be hcud itHalton.s limited membcrship.oftwo were placed on the UIAC? I I Another issue is the potenti31 use of &lton L1ndfiJl site by others in the GT A. The agricultw'al community has lost substantial prime agricultur:d land base to tillS site and to have it expire prematurely or need to be enlarged is of gre.:1t concern. I In closing. as Cha.irm~n oHIM.C, we fuUy endorse the response by the Region of Halton (including sUpport of?\.Iodell) to the Report aCme Spc:ci~J A.(h.;sar~ Greater Toronto Services Board "Getting Together."

Commissioner's Report 97 -P-84 Page 3 It is recommended that Deferrals 25 and 33 relating to Maps 82 and 83 of the Clarington Official Plan be proposed for approval as shown in Attachment 1. 2.2 Apoeal1 During the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing review of the Durham Regional Official Plan, the Mosport group requested referral of the Regional Node policy and designation relating to Mosport Park (Referral 16). The Mosport group did not agree with the requirement that uses in addition to those which existed on the date of Regional Council's adoption of the Regional Official Plan (June 5,1991) could only be pennitted by amendment to the Plan. The Mosport group also appealed the corresponding parts of the Clarington Official Plan, so that both planning matters could be dealt with by the Ontario Municipal Board. International Motorsports Speedway Group Incorporated (IMSG) has recently entered into a long tenn lease agreement with the Mosport group for the use of its lands and premises. Under this lease agreement, IMSG has been authorized to represent the interests of the Mosport group in its Ontario Municipal Board hearings regarding the Durham Regional Official Plan and Clarington Official Plan. IMSG has withdrawn its referral of the Durham Official Regional Plan and its appeal of the Clarington Official Plan to the Ontario Municipal Board. Accordingly, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing resumed consideration of the relevant policies of the Regional Official Plan. The Minister granted approval of policy and designation related to Referral 16 (Mosport Park - Regional Node j) on June 12,1997. The Region can now consider approval of the policies of the Clarington Official Plan, pertaining to Mosport Park. The adopted policies of the Clarington Official Plan limit the uses permitted at Mosport Park to those which existed on June 5,1991. This is consistent with the Regional Official Plan policy. 31 6 Commissioner's Report 97 -P-84 Page 4 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ,. f It is recommended that Section 16.2.2 and Map A1 of the Clarington Official Plan be proposed for approval as shown in Attachment 2. 3.

THAT copies of Report No. 97 -RA- be forwarded to the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, the Minister of Environment and Energy, the Minister of Transportation, and the area municipalities within Durham. REPORT 1. History of the Clean Air Blue Ribbon Committee and Purpose of this Reoort 1.1 In 1995, the Ministry of Environment and Energy released a study entitled "Air Quality in Ontario". The report examines the state of air quality in Ontario, and the effects of various air pollutants on humans and the environment (Attachment 1). It also describes the linkages between monitored air pollutants and current air quality issues (Attachment 2), and outlines- Provincial initiatives to develop abatement programs. While the study illustrates that air quality has significantly improved in Ontario as a result of various abatement programs, some pollutants .are still causing problems. 1.2 Recognizing that increases in air bome pollutants will have long-term negative environmental and health effects, Metropolitan Toronto established the Clean Air Blue Ribbon Committee (BRC) in 1996 to examine air quality issues in the GTA. Although industrial sector emissions and other sources of pollutants pose significant impacts on the environment, the BRC focused on strategies to reduce vehicle emissions. 1.3 On June 4, 1996, the BRC held a "Municipal Clean Air Summit" to collect expert opinion on air quality concems in the Greater Toronto Area, and to identify opportunities to reduce pollutants. The report and resolution resulting from the session were forwarded to all municipalities in the GTA, including the Region, with a request for endorsement. These documents are provided as Attachment 3. Regional Affairs Committee referred the matter to the Finance, Health, Planning, and Works Departments for a report to address the implications of endorsing the BRC resolution. 23 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I iii, I I I I I I I 1 I I I I I I I I I I I Joint Report No. 97-RA- 25 1.4 The purpose of this report is: Page 3 . to outline how Durham is currently addressing the air quality issues identified in the BRC report, and the implications of the BRC resolution on the Region; and . to address future initiatives on air quality, and other health and environment related issues. 2. Measures Pursued by Durham and lmolications of BRC Recommendations 2.1 The BRC identified six initiatives that municipalities in the Greater Toronto Area should pursue to address air pollution created by motor vehicles. These include: i) encouraging mandatory vehicle emissions inspection and maintenance programs; ii) converting to "Green Fleets"; iii) implementing Employee Trip Reduction Programs; iv) developing sustainable transportation planning policies; v) implementing education and prevention programs to inform the public of the adverse impacts of air pollution; and vi) establishing a GT A Clean Air Committee to address air quality issues on an ongoing basis. 2.2 Vehicle Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs Motor vehicle emissions contribute substantially to the production of smog. Poorly-tuned vehicles can produce up to 20 times more emissions than well- maintained autos and trucks. By identifying these vehicles. corrective' 24 Joint Report No. 97-RA-25 Page 4 measures can be introduced which will help to minimize polluting emissions and reduce fuel consumption. Regular emissions inspections can help to identify excessively polluting vehicles. For example, a mandatory vehicle inspection program implemented by the Province of British Columbia has demonstrated that regular vehicle inspection and maintenance is a cost-effective way to reduce air pollution and fuel consumption. Their program has also illustrated that improved vehicle performance results in lower operating costs and impacts, benefitting both the driver and the environment. A pilot study previously conducted by the Province of Ontario illustrated that similar benefits could accrue if this type of program were implemented here. A program requiring inspections as part of vehicle licence renewals, similar in nature to the British Columbia example, could be implemented. The inspections would be conducted annually or bi-annually, at a cost to the owner of $20.00 to $30.00 per vehicle. The Province is presently studying what type of program would be best suited to Ontario. Regular maintenance and testing of all motorized vehicles in Ontario would be a positive step towards reducing air pollutants, and should be supported by the Region. 2.3 Green Fleets 'Green Fleets' is the concept of providing mobile services to the community in a more efficient and environmentally-friendly fashion. Green Fleet measures attempt to influence not only the type and number of vehicles purchased, but also how the vehicles are operated, and how the corporation conducts its business. Specific measures include: purchasing vehicles that use alternative fuels; training drivers on efficient vehicle operation; and improving service delivery routing and timing. The Works Department has investigated various Green Fleet opportunities over the years. At present, some of these measures are impractical in certain situations. For example, alternative fuel vehicles are not available for certain 25 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Joint Report No. 97-RA-25 Page 5 vehicle types, necessitating costly retrofits if a different fuel is to be used. In other instances, tanks for alternative fuels are so large that they limit the carrying capacity of the vehicle. The Works Department is continuing to investigate alternative fuel use and other Green Fleet measures, such as driver training and service routing improvements. These types of measures are becoming more feasible, particularly in light of emerging technologies and the need to reduce costs. 2.4 Employee Trip Reduction Programs Municipalities can take an active role in reducing vehicle travel through employee trip reduction programs. These programs are aimed at reducing vehicle kilometres travelled and the demand for mobility, for both the employee's trip to work and their mobility requirements while on the job. Vehicle kilometres can be reduced by encouraging the use of altemative travel modes, such as transit and bicycles, and through carpool initiatives. Although the Region has not formally encouraged measures of this nature to date, largely due to the geographical distribution of its facilities, some staff currently take advantage of altemative travel modes for their trips to work. Demand for mobility can be diminished by introducing telecommuting programs (work-at-home) and electronic document sharing (Intemet and computer network). The Region has considered these approaches as follows: . The Human Resources Department previously investigated work-at- home measures to address facility space constraints, but technological and administrative limitations restricted opportunities at that time. With recent advances in information technology by the Region, work-at- home may again be considered; and . Opportunities to reduce the number of trips made for Regional business are possible through further development of the corporate Intemet site and the computer network. The Region's web site, 26 Joint R~port No. 97-RA-25 Page 6 established by the Economic Development Department, allows both the Region, and its clients, to benefit from this technology. In addition, the continued implementation and use of the corporate computer network will reduce the need for courier services and inter-office meetings. 2.5 Sustainable Transportation Planning Policies Sustainable transportation and land use planning policies, with implementation strategies, are needed to ensure future urban form is structured in a manner which minimjzes the demand for polluting travel modes. Policies which encourage seamless transit service, pedestrian and cycle friendly design, compact development and higher residential densities are essential to achieving clear air goals. The Durham Regional Official Plan (ROP) includes land use and transportation policies that promote sustainable development. The ROP places an emphasis on compact urban form, mixtures of uses and intensification of existing built-up areas. These are the building blocks of transit-supportive urban development. In addition, many of the area municipalities have or are currently undertaking official plan reviews which promote similar directions. . Implementation of the policies contained in the Regional and area municipal Official Plans will occur as development proceeds. Their effectiveness will be examined through the Planning Department's regular development and transportation monitoring activities. 2.6 Public Education and Prevention Programs Changes in personal behaviour are needed to reduce the adverse effects of air pollution. Education and prevention programs are approaches used to raise public awareness of this problem and the.need for change. Measures, such as media launches, special events, brochures, and advertising campaigns, are used to inform the public on the causes, impacts and solutions to air pollution. 27 '. . I I . I I I I I I I I I I I I I I .~ ~ . I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Joint Report No. 97-RA-25 Page 7 The Health Department currently directs clients seeking infonnation about the effects of air pollution to non-profit agencies, such as the Ontario Lung Association and to other special interest groups, including Pollution Probe. 2.7 GTA Clean Air Committee The BRC recommended that the Mayors and Regional Chairs of the GTA municipalities establish a Clean Air Committee. The Committee would co- ordinate local initiatives and activities, develop a Clean Air Plan, and advise the Province of air quality concems. The Clean Air Committee would provide an opportunity to discuss air quality issues at the GTA level on a regular basis and raise awareness of the problem. Air.qualityis a important health issue for citizens of the Region, and the GTA as a whole. It is therefore recommended that the Region participate when this Committee is established, and that the Regional Chair, or a designate, be appointed to represent Durham. 3. Initiatives to Address Air Qualitv and Other Health and Environment Issues 3.1 As noted above, many of the initiatives identified in the BRC report are being addressed in Durham Region. However, with population and motor vehicle usage forecasted to increase in the coming years, continued implementation of the initiatives identified above will be critical to ensuring future air quality in the GTA is not compromised. 3.2 Once fonned, the GTA Clean Air Committee could serve an important role in establishing clean air objectives, and monitoring their effectiveness. This monitoring may identify the need for further local and GTA-wide measures to address air pollution concerns. The Region should consider supporting these future initiatives if the measures are suitable for implementation in Durham, and are economically and technically justified and feasible. Any measures posing monetary implications would have to be considered within the context of the Region's financial parameters and annual budget process. 28 Joint Report No. 97-RA- 25 Page 8 3.3 Health and environmental issues which pose Region-wide implications, such as those associated with waste disposal sites, pesticide use and air quality, are occurring more frequently. To effectively and responsibly address these important matters, the Health Department intends to establish a Healthy Environments Working Group. The Working Group would examine Region- wide health and environmental issues on a regular basis. The various stake holders and agencies interested in matters of this nature, including representatives of the area municipalities, would be asked to participate. The Health Department intends to coordinate regular meetings of the Working Group and report progress to Regional Council. 3.4 The Finance Department has reviewed this report, and concurs with its recommendations.

REPORT This report represents the Region of Durham's submission on the Report of the Special Advisor, Milt Farrow, entitled "Getting Together - Greater Toronto Services Board". The body of this report provides Durham's comments on the key recommendations of the Farrow report. Specific comments on each recommendation are provided in Attachment 1. Acopy of the Farrow report has been forwarded to members of Regional Council under separate cover. 1. Overview The Region of Durham recognizes the need for a co-ordinated approach for long-term strategic planning in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), cross- boundary service issues, and dispute resolution through facilitation and mediation. This was clearly enunciated in Durham's submission (see Attachment 2) on Mr. Farrow's Discussion Paper entitled "Developing the Framework for a Greater Toronto Services Board" dated February 1997. Also, Durham is of the view that essential services are being effectively delivered to the Regional community. This includes the management, delivery and financing of infrastructure. There is no evidence that improved service delivery would result from having another body established to set and monitor standards or make basic infrastructure delivery decisions within the Region of Durham. In tenns of financing, Durham has a stronger credit rating than the Province of Ontario. The Region of Durham does not support the need for a GTA-Ievel of government. Also, the residents of Durham have clearly stated that they do not wish to be part of a broader GT A government. 2 Joint Report No. 97-J-9 Page 3 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I .. " 2. Roles and Responsibilities of Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB) 2.1 Objectives The Farrow report indicates that one of the greatest assets of the GTA is the high quality of life enjoyed by its residents. As such, Mr. Farrow recommends that a Greater Toronto Services Board be created to sustain, and where possible, enhance the quality of life in the GTA. Durham supports efforts to sustain and enhance the quality of life for aU residents and businesses in the GTA In this regard, the recent GTA Vision 2021 exercise, coupled with joint growth forecasting and transportation planning exercises, provided a "long-term visioning" context for policy making and infrastructure investment at the regional level. As stated in Durham's previous submission to Mr. Farrow, a means should be established for updating and extending the time horizon of this visioning process, as required. 2.2 Mandate' The Farrow report recommends that, at the outset, the GTSB mandate include four primary roles: i) Develop a comprehensive, long-term Infrastructure Coordination Strategy; Ii) Provide a discussion forum and liaise with all levels of govemment; iii) Resolve inter-regional servicing issues, implement decisions and apportion costs; and, iv) Operate GO Transit and develop a long-term, post-coUection waste management strategy. Should the Board be created by the Province, the Region of Durham recommends its mandate be limited to issues of an inter-regional nature, with the exception of GO Transit. This would include lorig-tenn strategic planning for the GTA. co-ordinating inter-regional servicing, providing a forum for 3 ,. I '. I I I I . I I I I . . I . 1 . . Joint Report No. 97-J-9 Page 4 discussion with all levels of government and resolving inter-regional disputes through facilitation and mediation. The primary roles recommended in the Farrow report require clarification and further detailing. The wording of specific recommendations is unclear, potentially contradictory and open to various interpretations. For instance, the Farrow report does not provide infonnation on the scale of proposed infrastructure projects that would be subject to involvement by the GTSB. In addition, the report does not clearly state that the GTSB's involvement would be limited to inter-regional projects. Furthermore, the existing Regional water supply and sanitary sewage systems which service the area municipalities in Durham, with the exception of the York Durham Sewage System, are not capable of providing service on an inter-regional basis. Factors such as location of the facilities, original design criteria and physical site constraints generally restrict the potential for the existing systems to be expanded to provide inter-regional service. With respect to GO Transit, Durham has not supported the transfer of this essential transit system to the GTSB. Notwithstanding, it would appear that the Farrow report, in light of the Minister of Transportation's directions, has accepted this transfer as a given. Durham sees no benefit in the transfer of GO Transit to another body, given that its current operating structure has ensured effective service delivery. The Province, through the present GO Board, should retain responsibility of this essential infrastructure, similar to its operation of the 400-series highways. 3. Organization of GTSB 3.1 Organizational Structure The Farrow report recommends that the GTSB be a statutory corporation consisting of three standing committees: Executive Committee; Urban Issues Advisory Committee; and Rural Issues Advisory Committee. The report ~ Joint Report No. 97-J-9 Page 5 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I recommends that all municipalities (upper-tier, lower-tier and single-tier) be members of the GTSB. As enunciated in Durham's original submission, should a Board be established, the Region recommended that it be inclusive of all municipalities in the GTA, as accomplished by the parity model. As well, membership must include active Provincial involvement in light of the broader provincial interests in the GTA. This is essential in making the GTSB an effective forum for co-ordination amongst municipalities, the Province and other public agencies. Also, since the areas of influence of the GTA clearly extend well beyond its current boundaries, the Province could bring forward the interests of the broader community. 3.2 Executive Committee The Farrow report recommends that the Executive Committee be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the GTSB and all final decision-making associated with its responsibilities. The report proposes that representation on the Executive Committee be based on representation-by-population as follows and key decisions require a 2/3 vote as these decisions should reflect wider support than simply a majority: Toronto Durham Halton York Peel 14 3 2 4 5 (Mayor, 13 Councillors) (Regional Chair, 2 Mayors) (Regional Chair, 1 Mayor) (Regional Chair, 3 Mayors) (Regional Chair, 3 Mayors, 1 Councillor from Mississauga) Total 28 Given the recommended responsibilities of the GTSB and the fact that the Board is not to function as a fonn of govemment, representation-by- population on the Executive Committee must be re-examined. To operate effectively, representation on the Executive Committee must be limited in number and configured on a parity basis. This will enable the active participation of the Province. In addition, Durham supports representation of all GTA municipalities on the associated Advisory Committees. 5 I I '1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I , Joint Report No. 97-J-9 4. GTSB Financing Page 6 4.1 Apportioning Service Costs The Farrow report recommends that costs associated with inter-regional infrastructure be allocated among member municipalities. If the GTSB is to assess charges to municipalities, the charges should only be assessed to those municipalities receiving a direct benefrt on a project specific basis. The amount of assessment should be directly proportional to the benefit received. The Farrow report proposes that GTA-wide service standards be developed and implemented for sewer and water, transit, inter-regional roads, and waste management services. The establishment of GTA-wide standards is completely unnecessary and inappropriate. The GTSB should not be involved in the decision-making process for local infrastructure projects which by nature of their design and limited service areas will only provide service to municipalities within the boundaries of an individual Region. Also, GTA-wide standards would likely result in migration to higher standards and increased costs. Municipalities must not be constrained by these standards which may limit a municipality's ability to introduce innovative and cost saving standards. Decision-making for the implementation of local projects must remain with the authority responsible for them, in order to ensure accountability to the rate payers. 4.2 Municipal Reserve Funds The Farrow report recommends that the GTSB be permitted to borrow capital to finance the maintenance or expansion of existing or new infrastructure and GO Transit, in fact, borrowing from existing municipal reserve funds was encouraged. Reserve funds in Durham Region have been collected and committed for specific purposes in accordance with Regional Finance policies and the requirements of the Development Charges Act. These reserve funds must remain available for those purposes, and not be used for capital construction elsewhere, nor stabilizing user rates in the GTA. 6 Joint Report No. 97-J-9 Page 7 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 5. GTSB Changing Responsibilities . The Farrow report indicates that, once the GTSB is established, there may be a desire to broaden its mandate to address additional areas of responsibility. As such, the Farrow report recommends that the GTSB statute permit the Board's structure, mandate and representation to change over time, at the discretion of the GTSB and/or the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. Durham strongly disagrees with this discretionary approach. Instead, changes to the GTSB structure, mandate and representation must be subject to public consultation and due process. Recognizing the economic importance of the GT A to the Province of Ontario, a comprehensive or broader context is required to enable meaningful discussion before a decision is made on the structure, mandate and operating principles of a Board. Furthermore, a clear enunciation of the role and relationship of the Province with the GTSB, both today and in the future, is essential. The Region strongly opposes any suggestion that the GTSB could lead to the creation of a new fonn of govemment. 6. Conclusions It is concluded that: , a GTSB with authority to manage, deliver, or generate capital for service infrastructure is unnecessary; , should a Board be created by the Province, its mandate should be limited to provide long-tenn strategic planning for the GTA, co-ordinate inter-regional servicing, provide a forum for discussion with all levels of government, and resolve inter-regional disputes through facilitation and mediation; . a GTSB should not be involved with decision-making on the provision of local infrastructure; 7 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I " Joint Report No. 97-J-9 Page 8 should a Board be created by the Province, representation on the Executive Committee should be limited, based on parity and ensure active involvement of the Province; and, all GTA municipalities should be represented on the associated Advisory Committees; and, , . any proposed changes to a GTSB mandate and related legislation must be subject to public consultation and due process. Accordingly, it is recommended that the content of this report including Attachment 1 be endorsed by Council as the Region of Durham's submission to the Honourable AI Leach, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. ~~~ .H. ~, M.S.W.

That Mr, M, Farrow, Special Advisor to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, be advised: a} The Region of Durham does not endorse the creation of a Greater Toronto Services Board with the authority to manage, deliver or generate capital for services, b} If the Province decides to create a Board, its authority and mandate should be limited to providing a forum for discussion on long-term strategic planning for the GT A, co-ordination of cross-boundary servicing issues, and dispute resolution through facilitation and mediation, c} If established, representation on the Board should be on a parity basis and include the active participation of the Province. 2, A copy of this report be sent to Mr. M, Farrow, the Area Municipalities in Region of Durham and the Re'gional Municipalities within the GTA 27 I I I I I I 1 I I 1 I 1 I I 1 I I I I ., 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I 1 I I 1 I 1 1 I 1 Joint Report No, 97-J-4 Page 2 REPORT This report represents the Region of Durham's submission on the issues and options for a Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB), as identified in Mr, Farrow's Discussion Paper, 1. Context The Region of Durham believes the first step in considering a possible mandate for a GTSB, is to determine where current govemance structures limit the GTA from meeting its full potential. This involves identifying instances where these structures will not be able to effectively meet future challenges, let alone local, regional or provincial objectives, The mandate and responsibilities of a Board must also recognize the position of the Province, that a Board is not, in form or function, to be a another level of. govemment in the GTA, Accordingly, if the Board is not a level of govemment, then it should not have responsibilities for service <Ielivery, revenue generation and taxation, 2. Mandate for A Board Six possible roles were suggested for a GTSB in the Discussion Paper, including strategic planning, co-ordination, management, service delivery, dispute resolution and capital generation. 2.1 Mandate Durham is of the view that essential services are being effectively delivered to the community, This includes the management, delivery and financing of infrastructure, There is no evidence that improved service delivery would result from having another body established to set and monitor standards or make basic infrastructure delivery decisions, In terms of financing, the Regional Municipalities have strong credit ratings, ,The Regions' borrowing rates are simalar or lower than those of the Province, 26 Joint Report No, 97-J-4 Page 3 I 1 1 I 1 1 1 I 1 1 I I 1 1 1 I I 1 1 Opportunities may however exist for a Board to provide a coordinated approach for: . long-term strategic planning for the GTA; . cross-boundary servicing solutions; and . dispute resolution, Strategic Planning: All GTA regions have new long range official plans. In this regard, the recent GT A Vision 2021 exercise, coupled with the joint growth forecasting and transportation planning exercises, provided a co-ordinated "long term visioning" context for policy making at the regional level. A means should be established for updating and extending the time horizon of this visioning exercise, as well as joint growth forecasting. If this function is not performed by the Province in collaboration with Regions, as in the past, it could form part of the role of a Board. This however, does not involve the preparation or updating of official plans, Co-ordination of Service Delivery: Cross-boundary service delivery is important and, at present, occurs on a voluntary inter-regional basis, on matters such as water supply, sanitary sewerage, road connections, solid waste disposal and joint economic development. A Board could provide a forum for municipalities to collaborate in developing joint inter-regional service delivery arrangements, Alternatively, this could be achieved through the continued participation of affected regions and provincial ministries, Dispute Resolution: Where agreement on the delivery of inteHegional services cannot be reached, a Board could provide a forum for resolution of disputes through facilitation and mediation, This arrangement would ensure that cross-boundary servicing issues which may arise, are resolved in a satisfactory fashion, As an 29 I I 1 1 1 1 I 1 1 1 1 I I I 1 1 1 I 1 Joint Report No, 97-J-4 Page 4 alternative, this could be achieved via existing provincial mechanisms (eg, Ministerial direction, Ontario Municipal Board), 2,2 Other Areas of Potential Board Involvement The Farrow paper suggested potential areas for Board involvement with respect to GO Transit, Economic Development and Co-operative Ventures, Given that the Board is not to be another level of government and that existing agencies are effectively carrying out these activities, Durham sees no benefit for Board involvement in these areas, (Refer to Appendix No.1), 3. Board Membership Given the mandate for a Board, as being advocated by Durham of: . a co-ordinating body; . a forum for co-operation and not a level of government; . no ownership of infrastructure or operating responsibilities; and . no powers of taxation or revenue generation, then the complex issue of membership based on "representation-by- population" becomes moot. Representation by parity more appropriately reflects the proposed mandate: Membership should not be limited to municipalities only, but rather include active Provincial involvement on a Board, This is essential in making a Board an effective forum for co-ordination between municipalities and the province, This would eliminate conflicting objectives and duplication of effort. Farrow's paper raises the issue of membership of municipalities beyond the current GTA boundaries. It is ~pparent that commuting patterns, market areas and areas of influence extend well beyond the GTA as it is currenUy defined, Measures could be devised in order to determine whether places such as 30 .' Joint Report No, 97-J-4 Page 5 Orangeville. Barrie and Hamilton.Wentworth are functionally part of the "GTAM and whether they should have some form of representation on a Board, 4. Conclusions It is concluded that: . a Board with authority to manage, deliver, or generate capital for services is unnecessary; . if established, a Board could provide a forum for discussion on long-term strategic planning for the GTA, co-orclination of cross-boundary servicing issues, and dispute resolution through facilitation and mediation; and . if established, representation on a Board should be on a parity basis and include the active participation of the Province, Accordingly, it is recommended that the contents of this report be endorsed by Council as the Region of Durham's submission to Mr. M. Farrow. ~~,(&;4 ,H, C itt, M,S,W, Chief dministrative Officer ff(JIla~' VASilgailis P ,Eng, Commissio er of Works ~,:' PW, Olive. MA, MBA, EcD. Commissioner of Economic Development A.L. org ,C,I.P,.

I 1 . 1 1 1 1 APPENDIX NO.1 OTHER AREAS OF POTENTIAL BOARD INVOLVEMENT Inter-regional co-ordination is necessary, in the case of road linkages, transit, water and sewer systems, and solid waste disposal. In the experience of Durham Region, co-ordination of this nature is successfully occurring between Regions on a voluntary and negotiated basis1, The Farrow paper also suggested a role for a Board in operating GO Transit, Economic Development and Co-operative Ventures, However, from the Region's assessment of these matters, there is no benefit for Board involvement in these areas, GO Transit: The GTSB discussion paper refers to GO Transit as .,.. one of the first service responsibilities of the GTSB"; however, assigning this kind of operational, service delivery role to a new Board does not fit logically within the long-term strategic planning, co-ordination and dispute resolution roles suggested. There is no'functional difference between the role of GO service and major provincial highways, The Province should not only retain responsibility for these highways but also retain responsibility for this strategic rail system, Given that the Board is not to function as another level of government, the issues of revenue generation, asset ownership and operations should clearly remain with a Provincial body such as the existing GO Board, I For ~ple. tile Regions of York and Durllam and tile Ontario Clean Water Agency are currently finalizing tile principles for restructuring of tile YDSS Agreement, h is proposed that tile YDSS be under the joint ownersllip of York and Durham Region, The restructured YDSS Agreement will address VOSS Ownership, Management. Operations and Maintenance, Capital Planning and Financing, Staff from both Regions are in tile process of finalizing tile principles for a new agreement wllicll will mee! tile R"luirement for joint ownersllip of the YOSS, The proposed agret'ment would be in accordance with rel'enely announced legislation (Ianuary 15. 1997) under the ''\'aurlll''/ S~"'"gt S(n'icts ImproVt:IPI~lIt Act. 32 .\ . 33 1 1 1 1 I I I I I 1 1 I 1 1 1 I I 1 1 Economic Development: Economic development (including Tourism Promotion) activity occurs at the regional and the area municipal level, as well as via the private sector. Co-ordination and co-operative effort occurs through the Greater Toronto Area Economic Development Partnership, the fledgling Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance and Tourism Toronto. with co-ordination via the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, There is no apparent need for further co-ordination of these activities by a GTSB, Co-operative Ventures: (eg, Purchasing and Technology) This is a broad undefined area in which a Board may provide leadership, However. most municipalities are currently co-operating on projects of this nature. It is concluded that a Board role in this area is likely to be of limited scope, !~ I I I . 1 . I I . 1 1 1 1 1 ,. I . 1 1 , ~OUNCIL INFORMATION =.t.:..

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Those standards require that we plan and perfonn an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overnll financial statement presentation, In common with many non-profit organizations, the Public Library Board of the Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington derives part of its revenue from the general public in the Ionn of donations, the completeness of which is not susceptible to satisfactory audit verification, Accordingly, our verification of these revenues was limited to accounting for the amounts recorded in the records of the Public Library Board and we were not able to determine whether any adjustments might be necessary to donation revenues, excess of financing over expenditure, assets or fund balances, In our opinion, except for the effect of adjustments, ,if any, which we might have determined to be necessary had we been able to satisfy ourselves concerning the completeness of the donations referred to in the preceding paragraph these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Public Library Board of the Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington as at December 3 I, 1996 and the results of its operations and the changes in its fmancial position for the year then ended in accordance with the accounting principles disclosed in Note I to the fmancial statements, J),r/o :#- ~ --;- ~ Chartered Accountants February 21, 1997 DeIollII1Jucbe 1iIhmals8 1"b...1iwoI THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON A-l 1 PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS 1 YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 ACTUAL 1996 ACTUAL 1995 1 ~ SOURCES OF FINANCING Municipal contribution $ 660,608 $ 860,608 Province of Ontario -

LIE 2Ml AlIC 28 1 Re: The Amendment to the Official Plan for Hancock Neigllbourhood Yde No.: COPA 97-007 & 1 The Amendment for Hallrock Ncighbourhood should not be approved for these reasons: 1 Since our first Public Meeting we were presented with different numbers of population increases in many documents submitted by the proponent; the highest number was 4 400. A 1900 population was assigned for the whole neighbourhood and not just for the proponent's land for various reasons. The applicant doesn't take in consideration two schools with approximately 400 students, one church for 400 people and he doesn't consider at all the existing number of residents. 1 1 According to Table 9-2 in the O,P., this neighbourhood's total housing is 975 nnits, the applicant's number seems to be slightly different, 985, The number of edsting nnits in 3Cll- north of Nash is 60; the number of existing units in 3CI- south of Nash is 177 units, Togetber this makes 237 units. Tbis nnmber, two scbools, occupying 2,4 ha esch and one chnrch on 1,56 ha area also be considered in deduction from the total number. I 1 2, Some forest was cleared by tbe proponent prior to tbe Official Plan Amendment. Only species that are found in typical urban areas were descnOed in his lirst environmental study because this assessment was-done on tlte proponent's cleared land. Only recent studies are popping ap wilb species oftlora and fauRo tbot an: rare and we have known to be present here, Many tributaries here and also in 3B neighbourhood around Horban Pond were either buried under tons oflill or cut off; tbe;r water now is being dispersed throughout Hancock woods. onto our properties, where the resulting wetness was cause some trees that cannot withstand Ihis condition to rot and full, thus making it dangerous for ,us to walk through, One of the trihutaries is now disgracefully running through a ditch instead of its original course through the proponent's land, In spite of this degradation we know that 3C land sliD has over 50% environmentally sensitive areas~ 1 1 3, Where is the applicant's demonstnltion that should be given nccording to the Provincial Policy Sbllement tltat tbere should be no impact on Ibc ecosystem when sensitive land like groundwater recharge area is being developed? AU previous and evea tlte latest study in 1996 predict thai tbe decline of the water table level wiD be 5Ocm, We also know that 3C h.. an unconlined aquifer where the water is 1I0t under p.....ure oad Ihat the water table level is the Same as the water bible level outside of our wells, We feel that this decline is signilicant. Studies from 1939, 1990 aDd even 19% on decrease of the baset10w for Black Creek due to future urbauisation aU predict that there will be no significaut change. How do they know wheu aU Ibese studies were done dnring winter time when we know that the frozen ground binders dIe groundwater movement, their moniton always froze and the readings were not obtained. 1 1 1 4, If the applicant is so coocemed about spending the money for the planned quality retaining pond.nd if this is the only reason for increasing the population, why not just improve the existing stonn water deteution fadlity soutlt of N.sb and change it into a quality retaining pond, It WOIIld cost less money and existing not well functioning pond would be improved and the water quality coming from the outfaD which is described in the proponent's sludies .. with oily, greyish appearance containing clumps of b1ue-green algae, being indicative of nutrient enrichment would be taken care of, This description ofthe outfall to cold stream creek is one of tbe cumulative impacts of tbe development in tbe absence ofwaterl,ed planning. With this improvement three problems could be a ressed at the same time: a) less money wauld be spent and a not well fuuetioning pond would be improved b) the population wauld nol have to be increased e) aod hopefully, the applicanl could withdraw from tbe time consuming and expensive OMB hearings. l.ibbyaud Stan Racansky ,e', ~ ce: Isabel B, Little, Planner "K ~I 1 I I 1 -!-'-;!---TT '-r j !' ; \ i i ~ t ~ . , ' Ii: , \ \ J I I ......\ ,; t \ ,01 1 >-. ~\l: ::s::: co ._ u..r 8S:..::~O: -lUO:::O u ~ c.::.>lu I \z '0- " \- \j :01 ,- iD:: \t- :lI} io I.

As you know, the transfer of 100 per cent pmtl;ng responsibility for land ambulance services is part of the Who Does What initiative to realign funding and service respoim"bilities between provincial and municipal governments. The new alignment, based on a proposal from the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, is intended to bring education costs Wlder control and provide better services at lower cost to taxpayers, To facilitate municipalities becoming responsible for funding and ensuring the delivery of land ambulance services, changes will be proposed to the relevant legislation. The changes being explored will provide the framework for municipalities to use when assuming their " responsibilities for land ambulance services, The proposed changes are: . OnJanwuy I, 1998, each upper-tier municipality would be responsible for paying all of the costs associated with the provision of land ainbulance services within its border, . On Janwuy I, 1998, "with Ministry approval, Regional govemmentsthat are ready could choose to,talce over the respoDSl"bility for contracting with and funding'directly existing land ambulance services, (A two-year transition period from January I, 1998 to December 31, 1999 will protect current ambulance, operators.) In all other areas of the Province, for the two-year period, the Ministry ofHeaJ.th would fund land ambulance services and would bill municipalities for the cost of their ambulance seFVice(s). . On Janwuy I, 2000, all Upper-tier Municipalities (Regional and CoWlty governments or their municipal equivalents) would assume responsibility for contracting for or directly delivering land ambulance services, When the transition period for CUIreIlt providers ends, municipalities could choose to continue with the existing provider, decide to become the service provider themselves, or call for the highest quality, best price p~, ' " 7198-93 (95.00) @ 143:)-4601 . On January 1, 2000, in those areas that do not form part of an upper-tier municipality, arrangements would be put into place to ensure the local management and fair sharing of the costs of services by local municipalities and the residents of a territory without municipal organization, Local management would be carried out by service boards or municipalities, I I I I I I 1 1 I I ~~..._~~~"W'~"'"""'''-.....''=-~ ----.'

Under this direction, the Ministry would provide a two year protection period to allow current operators and municipalities the opportunity to work together to ensure a smooth transition in roles and responsibilities, The changes we propose will introduce a new partnership between the province and municipalities, The ministry will work with municipalities to ensure that land ambulance services are accessible and consistent to all Ontarians, The ministry will fund and ensure the delivery of air ambulance services and central ambulance dispatch centres, The ministry will also continue to set standards for and licence land ambulance services, ensuring that consistent and seamless ambulance services will be maintained.

I Toronto Together Survey - Wave Two Social service facilities are a priority among respondents. I 1 August 26. 1997 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE I Toronto - Social service facilities for Toronto'. more vulnerable citizens - the aged, youth and preschoolers. should be given priority by the new city government alX'Ordlnglo the sec:ond wave of results from a public opinion survey commissioned by the Toronto Transition Team. Fully two-thirds of respondents indicated the new city needs more homes for the aged (67 per cenl), youth drop-in centres (68 per cent) and day care centres (66 per cent), Community police facilities and bicycle paths were next on the priority list, with 60 per cent of respondents advocating further development of these facilities, By contras~ 73 per cent of respondents lhoughtthe new city will have ade~uate trade and convention centres, libraries (63 per cent) and parks (62 per cent), A majonty of respondents believe the new city will have enough s!eating rinks (59 per cent) and public swimming pools (54 per cent), as well, Transition leam chair Alan Tonks says these fin~ suggest people expect the new city government to help those least able to help themsefves, "We reported after the liral wave that quality of life issues are at the top of most peoples' agendas,. Tonks said. "Whallhls second wave of results suggests Is that Torontonians fully ~ect that quality of life be sIwed by people who, in economic teems, are least able to do so on their own .. seniors, young people Uld pre- schoolers, I 1 I I 1 I I Neil':hbourhood Committees Fully 77 per cent of respondents are "very supportive" or "somewhat supportive" of the concept of neighbourhood committees. Only 22 par cent of respondents oppooe the idea. Three in four respondents expressed a preference for these nelghbourhood commfttees to be made up 0/ a combination of rate payer and tenant associations and concerned individuals, But when asked if these neighbourhood committees should have any power to make decisions, only 32 per cent of respondents agreed, Two-thirds of respondents preferred a structure that would see neighbourhood conuni~ raise issues and make recommendations to community councils.

A majo'rlty of Metro area respondents (54 per cent) expressed support for the idea of offering municipal services from store front operations and shopping malls in neighbourhoods while 44 per cent prererred the current practice of providing services from central locations such as existing city halls, However, visitors to city hall~ were somewhat more likely to prefer a central location (54 per cent), The broader debate on "downloading" is clearly a factor in public attitudes regarding the new city, A majority of Metro area respondents (53 per cent) said they expecllt to cost more to operate the new city government, compared to 42 per cent who expect it to cost less, Five per cent of respondents had no opinion on the cost issue, Consistent with the expressed concern ove~ cost, fully 91 per cent of survey respondents said the new city government should be housed In existing buildings such as Toronto City Hall. Metro Hall or the North York City Centre, Only 8 per cent of respondents supported the idea 01 a different facility for the new municipality, Toronto City Hall was the r.referred choice of 46 per cent 01 respondents, compared to 27 per cent support for Metro Hal, 13 per cent support North York City Centre_ Support for other lacilities, such as the Scarborough City Hall, was minimal. The survey results being released today are from a total of 4,093 interviews conducted July 30 to August9, The survey sample has been weighted to ensure proportional representation of the cities within the Metropolitan Toronto region_ To reElect the distribution of the population acrosS the new city, the Metro area sample was weighted to 2,279 while the City Hall sample was weighted to 649, A total of 846 randomly selected visitors to municipal and Metro city halls were. interviewed and 3,247 randomly selected Metro area residents at 45 randomly selected sites across Metro, The two types of sites used difrerent questionnaires with some overlap, This on-going survey of public opinion is being conducted for the Toronto Transition Team by Strategic COWlSel, a Toronto-based public opinion research first, The survey is consistent with all industry standards for public opinion research intended for public release. The margin of error for the surveys is + /- 4,0 per cent for the city halls sample and +/- 2,5 per cent for the Metro residents sample_ Technical questions regardIng this survey should be addressed to Michael Sullivan, Strategic Counsel: 416-975-4465, ext, 23, ' All other inquires should be directed to: Alan Tonks, Chair Toronto Transition Team 416-338-7000 Please visit the Transition Team's webslte at: http://www.newtoronto.com Email: comments@newtoronto.com Dlsponsible en ftancais.

A total of 4,093 residcnts of the Metro area were interviewed by "intercept interviews" at 52 locations in the Metro area between July 30 and August 9, ParticipantS were selected at random. Each interview lasted approximately six minutes. Two questionnaires were used to maximize the number of questions asked, with a number of questions common to both, . One version was administered to visitors to the six City Halls and Metro Toronto Hall, while the other version was administered at 45 randomly-selected sites across the Metro area. . Because a larger proportion of respondents were residents of the city of Toronto, a .linal survey sample of2,279 was used to ensure proportional representation of the cities within the Metropolitan Toronto area, The weighted sample for the City Hall version is 649, . Demographically, the sample of residents interviewed resembles the characteristics of the populations; in terms of age, and household income with a modest under representation of seniors, . The "intercept" approach allows The Stratcgic Counsel, the Toronto-based public opinion research conipany conducting the survey, to ensure the sample group includes a good representation of visible minorities, The survey is consistent - ill every aspect - with industry standards for public opinion research intended for public release, . The methodology used for the consultation process is an intercept interview, This was used for three reasons: Visitors to specific sites can be identified and inteNiewed - Users of specific sCNices can be identified and intervicwed Groups (in this case visible minOrities) often underrepresented by other methodologies are morc easily located and interviewed The cluster design used with the intcrcept approach in this process is rooted in multistage cluster sampling, ;:~~~ ',,1) LA L' =( '7 -/-:-: A) Multistage cluster sampling is used when it is not possible or nol practical to either work trom an exhaustive list of the population and or interview at the individual household level. The first stage of multistage cluster sampling involves identifying and listing the potential sites across the area where interviews can take place, This includes shopping centres, street comers, transit shops, municipal and metro facilities and parking lots. The second stage is to randomly select from these sites and send teams of interviewers to these sites, The third stage involves randomly selecting from individual at the site or passing by the site, Since quota:; were not set for the number of interviews to bc conducted at each site, the data needs to be weighted in order to ensure that the sample represents the distribution of the population across the municipalities making up Metro, Typically, this approach uses larger sample sizes than other methods, because the confidence intervals are wider, . No special inducements or incentives are offered or used to affect either responses from participants or the subsequent analysis, . For the purpose of verification, respondents are asked for their names and telephone numbers after the interviews are completed and everi respondent is free to decline the request. Respondents who agree to provide names and telephone numbers are informed they are eligible for a draw for a television set. The offer is simply a secondary means of verification to encourage people to give their name and telephone numbers so that a sample of interviews can be verified, This is a standard industry practice. The primary level ofverification standard in the industry, is the presence of, and monitoring by, supervisors who are on site at every interview location while interviews arc being conducted. Respondents we....e also asked if they might be willing to attend a discussion group to be held at a later date, this is a common industry practice, Respondents arc told that there is remuneration for such participation; again a standard practice in the industry, This request is also made only after the interview is completed and every participant is free to decline, ' I I I I I I I 1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 1 I I I I I 1 I I 1 1 I I I I 09/03/97 '12:23 ~1 905 686 8352 TOWN OF AJAX ~ 002/004 COUNCIL INFORMATION 1-70 AGENDA PRESS RELEASE ANOTHER FIRST FOR THE TOWN OF AJAX ISO 9001 CERTIFICATION The Town of Ajax is pleased to announce tonight that we have succeeded in our goal to achieve ISO 9001 certification.

(("':!r: i}1 n n. by AI Vaillancourt f~ ~ C t'\\ U S", edited & published by Judy Hurvid Seven or eight years ago a group of Durham COG members visited the Peterborough Ecology Garden, We.were so impressed with their efforts we decided to search for a location in the Du:rham Region for our own Ecology Garden, With the cooperation of the ' Northumberland-Clarington Board of Education, we found a wonderful site at Bowmanville High School. This spririg we had hoped to put a few tons of composted horse manure on our gardt;:n, Unfortunately, due to the heavy spring downpours we were unable ~ access the garden, Obviously this chore should be done in the fall when the garden is more stable. ' Opening Day.CeremoJiies (May 29) , This day gave us an opportunitY to say thanks to all the wonderful people who made ,this" garden possible. Without their assistance the garden would not be a reality. 'Mayor. ' Diane Hamre arrived a litt}e,early and 1 had the opportunity to chat with her for a few.. ' minutes. She and council have.been very supportive of our activities from the very , beginning_ , . ' Our M.P.P" John O'Tool~,Was a1so'<ine of our welcomed guests. In 1996 we were promised a grant.from the Healthy Cominunity Program. ,With the government cutbaCks . going on we didn't think we would reCeive the gr;mt John,was contacted mthis regaid ' and thro]lgh his efforts themOliey was approved. Wecertain1y owe John a vote of - thanks. - ' , . This year we received a substantial grant to hire a student through !he federal government's Sumin.er Job ,Program, Although our M.P" Alex Shepherd. could not . attend. J:esse SteWart from HUman Resources, Canada, was there to reCeive our th~nlc!o. Alex, who supports our g.irden, was days awiJ,y from the federal 'election, and understandably. very busy! We also had a representative from Canada Trust, Heather Guthrie, at the garden, They were our original benefactors in 1995 and supplied our funding for the fence and shed. Len Koenderman, president of the Bowmanville Rotary Club, and Clare Howse, from the Bowmanville Optimist Club contributed to the garden and came to our opening, Clare also rented two plots from us this year! Consumer's Gas sent Kathy Cholewa. They gave us a generous grant this year, We certainly appreciate their help too, Fiona White represented the Northumberiand-Clarington Board, who have been our partners in the garden, Laura Richards from the Statesman and a reporter from This Week newspaper covered our opening, We are grateful for the continuing press coverage of the garden, which, informs people how to visit it to obtainiDroimation on growing food organically, .p I I I 1 I 1 I I I I I I I I I I I I We also were very fortunateto have 60 or so of the students from two grade five classes at St, Joseph's School in Bowmanville, accompanied by their teachers, Alsoattendfug were students and teachers from Bowmanville High School. The day of this occasion turned out to be a sunny and warm; all the children and our benefactors seemed to enjoy this pleaSant noon break from their regulanoutine, Changes and Updates in Community Plots Last year our community plots were leased to local residents, There are 24 plots and each one is 13 ft, by 10 ft, In 1996 we rented nine of them, in 1997 a1124 were rented, I think we could have rented 50 ofthem.lt's amazing how many of our local citizens are . interested in gardening! In fact, the two top hobbies in Canada are golf and gardening, This year we changed our strategy of who acquires the al10tment gardens. Instead of leasing them al1 we deci!ied some of the plots should be used by the local schools, We approached the local s<<hools, including the public, separate, and Christian schools, . The response for the first year was very good, Three schools wanted to participate, The first school to show interest was St, Joseph's School. Two wonderful grade five teachers were extremely keen about this project, We had several meetings and I helped them layout the plot and choose the seeds, Each class had a separate plot and the results we see now, August 20, are very gratifying, ,One plot has two huge watermelons that are just about ripe, plus many juicy looking tomatoes, and some giant sunflowers, The . second plot is very similar and has some healthy com, I am sure that when these students return to the garden this fall they will be very pleased with their efforts, In the meantime, oUr summer student cares for their plots, I ,~I I I I I I I I I 'I i; II I I I II II I I Vincent Massey School also wanted two plots, These plots are doing extremely well ahd will have some pleasant surprises for these students in the falL Bowmanville High School also was very interested in acquiring two plots, Kevin Ogorman's class really got into the spirit of the garden, Their garden plots are growing extremely welL They grew seedlings for themselves and also for our Ecology Garden section, using the greenhouse at their high school, which had sat unused for years, Addition to Garden Until now we had no red wiggler worms we could use for vermi composting, Lorraine Roulston, free lance writer and environmentalist, dropped off some at niy house, We put together a box for them, added leaves arid kitchen cuttings, and now we have a worm composter. I know our students will enjoy seeing these creatures in action this fall, " ~ Changing the Guard at the Garden In 1996 our number one concern in the spring was to sel~t a suitable garden attendant., Tliis may seem like an easy,task but is not. Gardening is ,hard work and takes a tremendous amount of discipline and knowledge of organic gardening teclmiques to be successful, Our student would also have to be a personable individual who was eager to greet visitors and assiSt them, We screened some students from Durham College and Bowmanville High School. We chose a local grade 13 graduate named Lee Ann Ball. Lee Ann was aD. Ontario Scholar and is . -. . now studying EnvirOnmental Studies at Trent University, She putin an excellent summer with us and we'were very pleased with her performance, This summer we wanted to rehire her, but she took another job with the Ontario Ministry of Revenue, I encouraged her to accept this position as it would give her the computerskills she was lacking, Forrunately for us we discovered another local person, Andrea Parks, who is also taking Environmental Studies at Trent, We knew ,of Andrea's interest as she and Lee Ann had been on our original planning committee for the garden, Andrea has been laboring hard , all summer in the garden, weeding, watering, planting, greeting visitors, and delivering fresh healthy produce to Bethesda House and the CourticeFood Bank, She has supplied them with strawberries, rhubarb, radishes, cucumbers, zuks (by the ton), beans, peppers, tomatOes, let(uce,etc, We will probably keep them in fresh produce until the end of September, I , I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 1 I I Overview of Summer It certainly wasn't a perfect summer this year. It was very wet and cool in the beginning and lately it has been very hot and dry, We owe our thanks to the McPhersons, our eye doctor neighbours, for supplying us with water. Lately we have received two great rains, There has been a regular flow of visitors through the garden this year. Weare open Wednesday to Sunday, from 8 to 12 p,m" and 4 to 8 p,m, We have welcomed visitors who come on their own, as well as hosting various groups, Our garden was the ticket centre for the Bowmanville Horticulture Society Tour of gardens in July, On August 19 a group of ladies from Solina will tour the garden, Many people who attend the Kids of Steel program at the Rec Centre in August will see our garden. On September 11, members of Durham Environmental Network will host their meeting in, and tour our garden, Weare very pleased that we are welcoming so many visitors to ,the garden, If you have any questions, I can be reached at 436-2418, St.udent's Report on the Garden . ., .' . by Anc::tm Pa1ks The idea to begin the Bowmanville Ecology Garden , was merely a seed two short years ago, Since then, this seed has received plenty of attention from caring individuals, and as a result it has blossomed into ' something truly wonderful, This summer I have had the opportunity to be a care giver to this project and I have been able to see the positive way in which it has affected the community,Throughmy experience at the garden I have noticed that.the public uses it as a sanctuary, somewhere to relax and gain stimulation from the surroundings, I also used the garden for these purposes, taking time to enjoy what nature can provide with a tiny bit of help from humans! The public response to the Ecology Garden made it a pleasure to be a part of it. Although at times I was unable to answer every question about organic gardening, the knowledge. available on this topic is abundant. Most of this knowledge can be acquired at the library, but the people of the community gave me more information than any book! The BO"-'IllllIlville Ecology Garden has added to the town ofBowmanville a level of interaction between gardeners, plant lovers, students, children and others that is necessary in maintaining a healthy community, I truly hope that this garden has inspired the public in some way, whether it be to start their own garden or to realize the importance of relaxation. From my experience, I can honestly say that tending a garden embOdies this feeling, This project has been beneficial to all involved, and I ceI:tainly.look forward to the continuing success of the Bowmanville Ecology Garden, I I I I~ I I I I I I 1 I I I I I I I I COUNCIL INFORMATION 1-72 ~ ~- Ontario JOHN R.

"Driving a well-tuned vehicle has other payoffs," he added, "For a test that costs about the same as a tank 'of gas. a motorist can save the equivalent of about 10 fill-ups over the course of two years," Drive Clean will begin in summer 1998 with all heavy duty trucks and buses in Ontario being .required to cQmplete an emissions test as part of Jhe current annual safety inspection, In late summer or fall 1998, Drive Clean will be extended to cars and light trucks registered or resold within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and the Hamilton-Wentworth region, An emissions test will be required every two years at registration renewal for cars and light trucks (4-19 years old) and anytime at resale (all model years), Antique cars, commercial farm vehicles and motorcycles are not included in the program. More than one third of Ontario's 6,5 million cars and light trucks are registered in the GTA and Hamilton-Wentworth region. Drive Clean will be extended to cars and light trucks in other urban areas with serious recurrent smog problems. such as Windsor, in the years 2000 and 2002, The program is expected to cut the release of smog-causing pollutants from vehicles - such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds - by an average of 22 per cent. and microscopic dust particles by six per cent, "Drive Clean is a good preventative measure for the health of our communities," Health Minister Jim Wilson said, Based on studies by Health Canada and others. the Ministry of Environment and Energy estimates that smog causes about 1,800 premature deaths each year in Ontario. Poor air quality has been shown to aggravate asthma. bronchitis and cardiac problems,. The cost of emissions tests for cars and light trucks will not exceed $30, Vehicles that do not meet provincial air quality standards must undergo maintenance work. which often means a, simple tune-up, In cases where more extensive repairs are required. there will be a $200 repair limit at the time of first registration renewal. (If a vehicle fails its retest, then the owner must prove that at least $200 worth of emissions-related repairs have been done,) 1/2",04197NR Information from jurisdictions across North America indicates that 80 to 85 per cent of passenger cars pass the emissions, ,est, ' Transportation Minister AI. Palladini, whose ministry has been active in the development of Drive Clean, said the program has been designed with the motorist in mind, "It will be inexpensive, convenient and fast to have emissions from your vehicle checked, You will have a choice of test-only centres or certified neighborhood garages," he said, Drive Clean will be managed by an independent contractor accountable to the government through a legal agreement. A multi-stakeholder advisory board -- with representation from industry, consumer, health and environmental groups -- will be set up in fall 1997, The board will oversee implementation of the program to ensure that it meets environmental goals and the needs of vehicle owners, Drive Clean was developed following an 18-month pilot study, extensive consultation and a review of similar existing programs in 38 U,S, states and British Columbia, "We learned from the experience of others," said Mr, Sterling, "I believe we have developed the best possible program for Ontario, We have worked hard to significantly improve air quality and be fair to vehicle owners.

The passenger carmght truck component of Drive Clean is being introduced in areas which: . have a pattem in recent years of exceeding the provincial ozone standard of 80 parts per billion more than three times per year by more than 30 per cent; and I . have a population of 50,000 or more, or are within the commuting zone of an urban area of 50,000 or more with a serious smog problem I . The heavy-duty truck/bus component of Drive Clean is province-wide because the exhausl'from many heavy vehicles contains large amounts of microscopic dust particles that can infiltrate the lungs and aggravate respiratory problems. I SMOG FACTS . Smog is caused when contaminants - including nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCsl _ react together in the presence of heat and sunlight to form elevated levels of ground-level ozone. Ozone mixed with microscopic airborne particles fonns smog. I . Ozone is exacerbated in higher density areas due to the volume of traffic, I . On hot summer days, about half of the pollutants that cause smog in Ontario originate in the U,S, I . The number one Ontario source of smog~causing pollutants is on-road vehicles. accounting for an average of 30 per cent of NOx and VOCs emissions, Industry accounts for about 23 per cent of overall NOx and VOCs emissions, I . Heavy trucks and buses are responsible for 70 per cent of the 10,500 tonnes of particulate matter emitted by Ontario vehicles, Targeting the smog problem with Drive Clean will also help in the fight against climate change, Vehicles are Ontario's largest source of carbon dioxide (CO.), a major climate change gas. as well a tmac contaminants such as carbon monoxide (CO) and benzene, I . I . When fully implemented, Drive Clean will help reduce CO. emissions by 900,000 tannes per year and carbon monoxide emissions by 30.000 tonnes per year, 2/2 I I I Notes for remarks by The Honourable Norman W, Sterling Minister of Environment and Energy Drive Clean announcement Queen's Park, Toronto August 22, 1 997 I am delighted today to announce a central initiative in this government's fight against smog in Ontario, I think everyone here knows that, for the year that I have served as Environment Minister in Ontario, I have targeted air quality as an environmental problem that needs real progress ,.. and strong action, I have talked many times about our dissatisfaction with the status quo._; that when studies tell us smog causes about 1,800 premature deaths each year in this province, we need to tackle the problem head-on, For those of us who have asthma, bronchitis or any other respiratory problems, ' smog poses a threat to personal health, standard of living and, just as importantly, our ability to enjoy the outdoors, In pure dollar terms, if you tally up the health care costs -- and add the cost of damage to our crops, vegetation and waterways - the price tag we pay for smog is as much as $12 billion, I think we can all agree, enough is enough, And I know what you're going to ask me: So what can we do about it? In Ontario, cars, trucks and buses are the largest single domestic source of smog emissions. While vehicles today are built to run more cleanly, motorists are putting on more miles, And poorly maintained vehicles are putting out the unnecessary emissions that contribute a great deal to our smog problem, Ontario's motorists hold the key to reducing vehicle emissions, The program 'I am announcing today is Ontario's new vehicle emissions testing program - which we have christened MDRIVE CLEAW, ,', . .":'~', ~', .' lIL05097SP DRIVE CLEAN gives Ontario a concrete and effective way to clean up our air, It brings us all together in the fight against smog, Drive Clean is an environmental milestone, What the Blue Box did for reducing waste, Drive Clean will do for cleaning the air we breathe, Drive Clean will be quick, affordable and convenient, Just four minutes is all it will take for the machine to check your car's emissions .., and for no more than $30, Where repairs are required, it can be as minor as replacing an air filter or distributor cap, Drive Clean is designed to be.fair to motorists, We expect that four out of five vehicles will pass the test with no need for repairs, This data is borne out by the Ministry's pilot study, and by the Smog Rover program, which has been collecting data all summer on the condition of the vehicles that drive our highways in the GT A, For the one-in-five vehicles requiring more work, there will be' a repair limit of $200 for first-time tests, to ensure that costs are not prohibitive. .1 My colleague, Minister Palladini, has said many times that driving a caris a privilege, not a right. Keeping our vehicles in good working order is, I think, only a fair expectation, when the return is cleaner air and a healthier environment for us all, There's also a pay-off in the more traditional sense, Maintaining well-tuned vehicles can save motorists the equivalent of about 10 fill-ups over the course of two years, For most of us, the test itself costs about the same as one tank of gas, Drive Clean takes effect in summer 1998, when mandatory testing will begin for all heavy-duty trucks and buses, as part of their current annual safety inspections. Heavy vehicles - including out-of-province vehicles -- will also be subjected to on- road spot-checks, When the carflight truck component of Drive Clean comes into effect in late summer and fall 1998, it will target vehiCles in the two,areas with the greatest smog problems - the Greater-Toronto Area and Hamilton-Wentworth Region, Over the next two and a half years, Drive Clean will be expanded to include .other: urban areas between Windsor and Peterborough, 213,..05097SP I ,A ~'- I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I rt, I , , II ,I I II I I II 1 II I. II II II I. , " II I II il I I I I Our implementation plan is explained in detail in your information kits, Our plan is based on the principle of dealing with the problem areas in order of urgency, I should point out, though, that we will consider requests from municipalities outside the program area boundaries to be included in Drive Clean where it is technically feasible, Drive Clean will be convenient, allowing drivers to choose whether they want to use a test-only facility, or a certified local repair shop, We will be auditing the certified facilities to ensure that test results are accurate - and there will be zero tolerance for fraud, Further assurance will be provided to the public by the creation of a multi- stakeholder advisory board for this program, The board will oversee the implementation of the program ... and ensure it meets our standards, both for air quality and driver convenience. All in all, Drive Clean will be affordable, flexible and convenient, But I should also mention what we expect it will mean for our air quality: When in full effect, Drive Clean is expected to lead to annual, province-wide emission reductions of 62,000 tonnes for nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, as well as 900,000 tonnes for carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas, That amounts to the capacity of 10 rail cars, that won't wind up in our air .., and our lungs, In addition to the reductions we are asking of industry, and the reductions that we have pushed for from jurisdictions across the border, this will make a difference, We will make a difference, I want to conclude by recognizing the excellent support Drive Clean has received from our partners - municipalities, industry, the medical profession and consumer, environment and health groups, We have worked hard to significantly improve air quality .!!lli!. be fair to vehicle owners_ I believe we have developed the best possible program for Ontario .., a program that we can all be a part of, and be proud of, as we look to the future, and the legacy of cleaner air that we will leave for our children, - 000 - 3/L05097SP Metro Toronto Durham Region Peel Region Halton Region York Region Hamilton-Wentworth Region I I I I I I I I I I I I I , fDISTR1BUTIONI' I 1 ' Peterborough I CLERK . -- I St. Catharines : ACK, BY -_.~ S 'CI J ORIGINAl.

I II II ,I II i'l Drive aeon is a program to reduce emissions of smog- causing pollutants from passenger cars, trucks and buses in Ontario, Under Drive aeon, vehides in areas with serious smog problems must pass an air emissions test, Vehicles failing the test must be repaired and retested. Drive aeon will begin to take effect in summer 1998, Ministry programs and initiatives August 1997 Ontario's Drive Clean program Drive Clean was introduced by Environment and Energy Minister Norm Sterling on Aug, 22, 1997, It is a major initiative to fight smog, which poses an increasingly serious threat to health and the environment in Ontario, Smog aggravates a wide range of serious health ailments, especially respiratory illnesses such as asthma and bronchitis. Based on studies by Health Canada and others, the Ministry of Environment and Energy has determined that smog causes about 1,800 premature deaths each year in Ontario, It also exacts a severe toll on the environment by harming vegetation, materials and crops. 'Nhen it takes effect in 1998, Drive Oean will require the regular testing of tailpipe emissions from passenger cars, right trucks, heavy-duty trucks and buses. The passenger car/light truck component of Drive Oean will first caver the two areas with Ontario's worst smog problems - the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and Hamilton- Wentworth Region, Test results will be compared to emission stan- dards for vehicle model years. Vehicles that fail the test must be repaired and retested, Drivers hold the key On-road vehicles are' the largest single source of smog-causing emissions in Ontario, They release significant amounts of the contaminants that react together in the presence of sunlight to form smog - including nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (V0Cs) and microscopic dust particles, Even though vehicles are being built today with cleaner technologies and tighter emissions standards, they can become heavy polluters if they are not properly maintained, Drive Oean will give motorists an opportunity to find out about the environmental performance of their automobiles and to make any necessary repairs. Motorists will also avoid the need for future repairs by learning about preventative mainte- nance. Which vehicles will be tested? Beginning in summer 1998, all heavy-duty trucks and buses must be tested as part of current annu- al safety inspections. In addition, there will be random, on-road emissions inspections. In late summer or early fall 1998, Drive Oean will apply to passenger cars and light trucks in the GTA - encompassing the regional munidparlties of Halton, Peel, YOfk, Durham and Metropolitan Toronto - and HamDton-Wentworth Region, Starting in 2000, the program will be extended to 13 urban centres in southem Ontario between ,. Peterborough and Windsor with serious, recurrent smog problems. Owners of passenger cars and light trucks will require proof that their vehicles have passed an emissions inspection as a precondition for regis- tration renewal (em:y two years) or at the time of resale and/or transfer of ownership, At registration renewal, only vehicles ,4-19 years old (model age) will be tested, Thus, in 1998, vehicles from model years 1980 to 1995 will be affected, Antique vehicles (20 years old or more), com~ mercial farm vehicles and motoo:ycles are exclud- ed from Drive Oean, Motorcycles will be includ- ed'when recognized emissions standards are in place. The equipment to be used at the time of regis- tration renewal - a dynamometer and a four-gas analyzer - is capable of measuring exhaust emis- sions under different speeds and driving condi- tions, At resale and/or transfer of ownership, all cars - regardless of model age - will be tested using the four-gas analyser, It will measure exhaust emissions at two lflfferent idling speeds. Inspection results At the end of an emission inspection, the driver,'" will receive a computer analysis of pollutants ~ ing out the vehicle tailpipe. Together with other"!" diagnostic information, test station staff can help pinpoint problems leading to excess emissions and how vehicles can perform better, In Brief Drive Clean Is convenient and affordable Motorists will have the choice of taking their vehi. c1es to spedal test-only facilities or to certified local repair shops participating in Drive Oean, These centres will not be govemment-owned or operated. An independent contractor will set up a network of privately operated centres and ensure certification of all staff and facilities, Testing will cost no more than $30, although a local certified garage may charge less, (Competitive pressures have brought the price of testing down in many jurisdictions with similar programs,) Information from 38 North American jurisdic- tions shows that 80 to 85 per cent of passenger cars and light trucks pass inspection, In most cases, a simple tune-up will suffice when a car or light truck does not pass the test. There will be a $200 repair limit at the time of first registration renewal, (If a vehicle fails its retest, then the owner must prove that at least $200 worth of emissions-related repairs have been done,) Motorists can use the repair shop of their choice for any required repairs. (Motorists can also do their own repairs,) Consumers are protected Information available at test centres will enable motorists to estimate the probable cost or repairs and make infonned choices about which repairs to make. Drive Oean centres and garages will provide access to a database of information from other testing programs across North America" There will also be a complaint hotIine to h"'p in the resolution of problems, If this doesnouet- tie a dispute, there will be recourse to an indepen- dent dispute mediation service that will be simple and fast. Certified repair shops will be audited, Decertification will be automatic and permanent wherever fraud is found, Your part of the province may be next The Ministry of Environment and Energy is ph"" ing in Drive Clean in the areas with the greatest, smog problems -starting withthe'GTA and' "." Hamilton-Wentworth Region. " ", The year 2000 wiI see Drive Oean will extend to other southwestern and central Ontario cities with populations greater than 50,000 that experi- ence serious. recurrent smog problems. The areas to be included under the second phase are: Barrie, Peterborough, Guelph, Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Brantford, Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, london, Samia-Clearwater, Windsor and Weiland, The final phase of Drive Clean will encompass the commuter areas surrounding urban areas cov- ered by the program, Ontario vehicles owners outside the program area may voluntarily have their vehicles tested at certified locations, I I I Drive Clean for heavy-duty trucks and buses Drive aean will apply to heavy-duty vehicles weighing more than 4,500 kilograms, Heavy-duty vehicles will be covered to reduce black smoke, which has been identified as a problem aaoss the province. These vehicles account for only 101"'" cent of the vehicles on Ontario roadways, but they contribute a disproportionate percentage of the emissions of some vehicle pollutants, includ-, inginhalable particulates (about 70 per cent), All Ontario-registered trucks and buses will be tested annually at the same time as they receive their annual safety check. Ontario and out-of- province truoo will also be subject to random, on-road spot checks. ,This will encourage the proper maintenance of all heavy-duty vehicles traveling in Ontario, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I .le We all benefit from Driving Clean The first phase of the passenger car and light truck program is expected to lead to a 30,000- tonne reduction in yearly discharges of smog- ' causing NOx and VOCs in the GTA and Hamilton- Wentworth Region, The heavy-duty vehicle component of Drive Oean will lead to a further reduction of 220 tonnes of fine particulate emis-' sions.. These reductions will mean a healthier environ- ment for the people of Ontario, Well-tuned vehicles also consume less gas. By taking a test that costs about the same as one tank of gas, motorists may save as many as 10 fill- ups aver the course of two yeaJS. . I I I I. I II II II ~. I II , I I !

In Brief Key Words Driving clean Reducing smog-causing emissions by keeping vehicles well-maintained and using less gasoline, Dynamometer A machine with rollers that spin a vehicle's wheels to simulate different speeds and road conditions, Gas analyser Equipment used to analyse exhaust gases in either grams/mile (loading) during a dynamometer test or gas concentllJtion (parts per million) during idle testing, Can measuring nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons (induding , volatile organic compaunds), carban mo,noxide and carbon dioxide. Opacity test The measurement of the amount of light passing through smoke. Ught in vehicle exhaust is obstructed by the presence of diesel- generated particulate - the dirtier the smoke, the higher the opacity rating, Smog The word smog originally referred to the combination of smoke and fog affecting urbon centres.

Mandatory testing begins in late summer or early fallof1998 for passenger cars and light trucks. . It will first apply only to vehicle owners in the Greater Toronto Area (GT A) * and Hamilton-Wentworth Region. (The program will expand to other parts of the province in later years). . The test is required every two years at registration renewal, OR anytime at a point of resale/transfer of ownership. . Only vehicles 4-19 years old (model age) have to be tested at registration renewal. Thus, in 1998, cars from model years 1980 to 1995 will be affected. Vehicles any age have to be tested and repaired anytime at a point of resale/transfer of ownership. Ministry of Environment and Energy ,'; 1 -.": !-I . Every two years at registration renewal or when you sell your vehicle. You will be required to prove that the necessary repairs have been completed prior to registration or sale/transfer of ownership, * The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) includes the regional municipalities otHalton, Peel, York, Durham and Metropolitan Toronto, 2. Are there any exceptions? . Antique vehicles, commercial farm vehicles and motorcycles are exempt. Motorcycles are excluded until recognized emission' standards are in place. 3. Where do I take my car for the test? . You will have the option of going to either a special test centre or a certified local repair shop that is participating in the DriveClea.... program. ." . You should know that these test centres are not governme....t- owned or operated. An independent contractor will set up a network of privately operated centres and ensure certification of all staff and facilities. 4. How much will the test cost? . The cost for the test is not to exceed $30. However, your certified local repair shop may charge less for the test. (In other jurisdictions competitive pressures have often pushed the cost below the maximum limit). . If you keep your vehicle properly tuned and maintained, chances are that it will pass the emission test. Ministry of Environment and Energy ,2 , I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 'I I I I I I I II I II !! l\ I II II II II il , , II III , 5. What's the chance that my car will fail the test? . Information from nearly 40 jurisdictions across North America indicates that 80 to 85 per cent of cars pass the test. One car out of five will require maintenance, 6. If my car fails the test. How much will it cost to repair it? . Should your vehicle fail the test, the required maintenance is usually just a tune up, unless it hasn't been serviced for a long time. The average cost of repairs is estimated at no more than $200. . As an example of the type of repairs, the top 10 defects of failing vehicles in British Columbia's AIR CARE program are as follows: incorrect idle mixture, incorrect idle speed, other carburetor/fuel injection problems, defective EGR valve, dirty air filter, faulty spark plugs, inoperative catalytic converter, defective PCV valve, defective ignition wires. Most of these are well under $200. 7. Won't the "On Board Diagnostic' system of my new car tell me if it is polluting or not? . On Board Diagnostics (OBD) do not tell you about your car's emissions. It only tells you that some of the components of your vehicle may not be working. OBD, however, is extremely helpful in pinpointing potential repairs. 8. Will my car have to go through a retest if it fails? What if it requires expensive repairs that I cannot afford? . In order to validate registration or to transfer ownership, your car will have to go through as many retests as it takes to get a pass. -However, you will have a "firsttime~ rep~ieve. This only applies Ministry of Environment and Energy 3 if you are validating registration; not if you want to transfer its ownership after a sale. This is how it works: . If at the first retest your car fails again, all you need is a receipt (or some validated document) from a certified garage that at least $200 worth of emission-related repairs were done. (Alternatively, you can do the repairs yourself). . The next time you go to validate registration, however, you will be required to make all the necessary repairs to pass the emissions test. 9. How much money willi save by keeping my car properly tuned? . It is estimated that the fuel savings in the GT A/Hamilton- Wentworth area will be about $114.per year for a properly tuned vehicle. 10. I have a 10-year old car. Does this mean that I have to bring it up to 1997 standards? . The emission standards are specific to each model year. An older vehicle will not be required to meet current emission requirements, but only the standards it was designed for with an allowance for vehicle aging. 11. If my car fails the test at one garage~ can I get the repairs done at another garage? . You can use any repair shop you wish to repair your car. Or you can do it yourself, as long as the car passes the retest. Repair data from certified repair shops will be constantly monitored by the program manager through a computer link. This will make it easier to address possible complaints over pricing and service.

Who can I turn to if I disagree with the cost of repairs to my car? . At your certified local repair shop or test centre, you will have access to a database of information from 37 current emissions testing programs across North America. For your specific car and model year it can tell you the pass/fail probability; most likely reasons for failure; and average cost of repair and labour time. Use this information when dealing with a repair garage to reduce the chances of a misunderstanding. . If you have a complaint, you will be able to speak to someone on a complaints hotline that will be set up for the Drive Clean program. That person will help you resolve your problem. . If you want to dispute a repair bill even further, you will be able to go to an independent dispute mediation service that will be set up specifically for Drive Clean. . Certified repair shops will be audited. There will be zero tolerance for fraud. Decertification is automatic and permanent. 13. Will trucks and buses require testing? . Heavy trucks and buses registered in Ontario will be inspected annually as part of the current safety check. Out-of-province and Ontario trucks and buses also will go through on-road spot checks. A special hotline will be set up for the public to report any heavy vehicles that are seen grossly polluting the air. 14. Who is looking out for me, the car owner? . A multi-stakeholder advisory board will be formed to review the delivery of the program and advise on major program decisions. This board will report directly to the Minister of the Environment and Energy and will include representatives from government, consumer and environmental groups, as well as industry-sector representatives.

This information is provided to help municipalities plan for changes in responsibilities for these two programs. The changes in provincial and municipal responsibilities proposed by the government on January 14, 1997 outlined new directions for delivery of social assistance, child care, social housing, public health, and land ambuIances. They create the opportunity to implement a more integrated and effective system of social and community health services under municipal leadership, As you know, welfare refonns being implemented by the government have produced an Unprecedented decline in the number of people collecting welfare in Ontario, The introduction of mandatory work for welfare (Ontario Works), tighter eligibility criteria, and the continuing crackdown on fraud and abuse are reducing welfare costs significantly. The province will continue [0 share these savings with municipalities, The fIrst step in implementing a more effective system will be consolidation of the management and delivery of Ontario Works and child care at the municipal level. At the beginning of 1997, there were 196 municipalities delivering social assistance and 94 delivering child care, The goal of consolidation is [0 reduce this to approximately 50 municipalities and. servkc boards. wbich will manage the two programs in an integrated fashion. Further opportunities to consolidate, at the municipal level, the management of related services such as public health, social housing and land ambulance operation, win be explored with municipalities over the coming months. ,.leont'd I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I -2- Consolidation A\lproach The govenunent has recently introduced two pieces of legislation which will, if approved, provide the means to proceed with consolidation, The first of these, the proposed Social Assistance Refonn Act, would allow full implementation of the Ontario Works program, The Bill provides for a single delivery responsibility for ail aspects of the program, including transfer of sole support parent cases from the province to the Ontario Works Program, The proposed Services Improvement Act which has just been introduced in the Legislature proposes that the Minister of Community and Social Services designate geographic areas and delivery agents for child care. It is intended that the delivery agents be the same for Ontario Works and child care, in order to ensure streamlined and consistent delivery of services. Subject to the passage of the proposed Social Assistance Refonn Act and the proposed Services Improvemem Act. the following policy will be adopted.: I. In Regional Municipalities, and in Counties where there are no Separoud municipalities, me Regional Municipality or County will manage all components of Ontario Works and child care, 2, In Counties where there are one or more Separated municipalities. only one of those municipalities will manage Ontario Works and child care, 3, Counties with a popu/aJion of less than approximately 50.000 (including me populalion of any Separated municipalities) will consolidate service management with another County, 4. There will be no more than about 10 service boards or municipalities managing Ontario Works and child care in northern Ontario, and these service boards or municipalities will manage services in unincorporated communities as well as within municipal boundaries, 5, Municipalities and residems of unincorporOJed communities will develop service management arrangements among themselves which are consistent with the above criteria. For your information, tables are attached. showing how the municipalities which manage social assistance and child care are grouped with reference to the fLrst four criteria above, Municipalities which do not manage these programs are nol included in the tables, I I, I I I I I I I f I I I I I ,~ , I II I I I - 3 - The goal is to have all consolidation plans finalized by next spring. Municipalities which are affected will be encouraged to bring plans forward as quickly as possible, Questions about the policy objectives may be directed to the Social and Community Health Services "Who Does What" Project at the Ministry of Community and Social Services, Please contact Katherine Willson (416) 325-5358 or Karen Meehan at (416) 325-5419, - I would like to take this opportUnity to thank: the municipal members of the Social and Community Health Services Implementation Team for their advice over the course of the development of this policy, Sincerely, j?~~ Minister Enclosures c,c, Clerk or Chief Administrative Officer ---------,..-- r c~~;mTION I A"" ny .. .. ..d\.t:._ I ORiGINAL Tn!"1l..

The Advisory Council was created in June with a mandate to recommend reforms to the fmancing, administration and regulation of social housing in Ontario prior to the transfer of the system to municipalities, 1-75 ' Earlier this year, the government announced as part of the Who Does What initiative that social housing will be transferred to municipalities in an exchange of services that involves cutting residential education property taxes by 50 per cent. We believe that social housing is one of the community services best provided at the local level, and many municipalities are delivering social housing extremely well right now, When municipalities completely take over the reins of social housing, however it will be a better system and a less costly system, We believe we can find two per cent in savings for next year before we devolve administrative responsibility to municipalities, In preparation for the transfer to municipatities, the government budgeted $215 million to repair social housing buildings, This is over and above the $100 million in annual funding for ongoing repairs, In terms of reform, there has been broad consensus for many years among tenants, housing providers, municipalities and the province on the need to reform the entire system of social housing in Ontario to make it simpler, more accountable and more cost effective, /2 ".c" 0_'>_. roc;. :;";~~(: ~........' -2- Head of Council As such, an Advisory Council was appointed to make recommendations on the_reform of the social housing system, The seven council members were chosen for their expertise in the areas of finance, property management, federal housing programs, management of private non-profits, municipal non-profits and co-operatives, and municipal administration, The council also benefited from the advice of representatives from the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the Ontario Non-Profit Housing Association, the Co-operative Housing Federation, Ontario Housing Corporation, and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, The council met throughout the summer, and heard deputations from groups representing aU aspects of the social housing system, The council also held a special meeting with elected representatives of municipalities and municipal staff in order to hear their views. One issue stressed repeatedly by municipalities involved the importance of "Say for Pay", Municipalities will be responsible for funding social housing effective on January 1, 1998, while the transfer to municipalities of the complex administration of social housing is scheduled to take place by the year 2000, I understand the concern of municipalities in this area, and I am particularly interested in the Advisory Council's recommendations about ways to give municipalities "Say for Pay", while at the same time ensuring a smooth transfer of administrative responsibilities, The report of the Advisory Council provides us with an exceUent starting point for the reform of social housing, The issues dealt with in the report are complex, and I will examine the recommendations carefuUy, and discuss them fuUy with my coUeagues before responding to the report, /3 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I , ,I I i I I I I I I I I I I I ,I I ,I I I I -3- Head of Council In the meantime, I would like to thank the members of the Advisory Council for their efforts, and thank the representatives of AMO and the municipalities for contributing their time and efforts, Sincerely, AI Leach Minister Attachment NOTE: Report available in Clerk's Department.

TOWN OF EAST GWILLlMBURY NEWS RELEASE Provincial Decisions w!!! result in Increased Property Taxes August 27,1997 For Immediate Release The Town of East Gwillimbury is concemed about the local financial impact of recent decisions made by the Provincial government. Over the last two years, Provincial transfer payments to the Town of East Gwillimbury have been reduced by $726,000. If these reductions had been passed on to property tax payers, it would have increased taxes by approximately 18.15%. In order to protect our property tax payers we re-evaluated all municipal spending and rr,ade significant.cuts (our actual Increase over this two year period was only 7.28%). In .1998, the Province will eliminate the remaining $448,500 in Provincial block funding to our municipality. This, alone, will result in an 11% increase in property taxes, before we consider the impact of any other changes which have been recently announced by the Province (I.e. responsibility for funding social and welfare costs in Metro Toronto). In addition to the impact of the elimination of block funding grants referenced above, all grants for Parks and Recreation programs have been removed and library grants will be discontinued next year. At the same time, new costs have also been downloaded to municipalities including such things as the transfer of Provincial highways. If the Province wants to discontinue grant funding to municipalities, they should take on the responsibilities that are Provincial in nature, leaving municipalities with the responsibility for local matters. Education, social housing, welfare costs, and health spending are all Provincial issues, subject to Provincial standards and regulations, which are financed by municipal property tax payers. The income tax base is the much more logical source of funding for these types of income distributive programs. The decision last week by the Provincial government to require our Town's taxpayers to contribute to social costs for Metro To.ronto will further~~rbate property tax increas~s l!'10 ...,." u.

Immediately following the conference, AMO contacted the Honourable Elizabeth Witmer, Minister of labour, adviSing her of the resolution and requested to meet with her as soon as posslble. On September 3,1997, AMO's President. Michael Power and First Vice-President, Roger Anderson, met with Minister Witmer. The meeting gave AMO the opportunity to raise the following points wlth the Minister: AMO supports the direction of Bill 136 as It reflects longstanding municipal Interests and positions, Including the need to reform the arbitration process and greater flexibility to freely negotiate In a restruotured environment. However, we do acknowledge that amendments will be required. AMO Is seekIng a labour relations process that Is talr, not unduly biased towards any party and offers speedy resolution to labour issues. Municipalities need flexibility to be able to deal with the tremendous challenges, such as restructuring and the WOW initiative, facing them next year. This will require a broad, not narrow definition of .restructuring" that will allow muniClpalitiesto merge services and departments, migrate services between tiers If they so wish in an effortio streamline and achieve efficiencies etc. Current Status: AMO informed the Premier that we believe this meeting was a good start and we will work with them to give due consideration to potential changes to the legislation that will reflect the various sector Interests (i.e. our goals are constant but there may be different ways to get there). AMO intends to make a standing Committee presentation when the legislation is referred to committee. The AMO Board will develop a response to Bill 136 and will share this with the membership over the coming weeks.

The Durham Region Real Estate Board will be celebrating Ontario Home Week from September 21 - September 27, 1997. Ontario Home Week was initially launched in 1980 by the Ontario Real Estate Association to stress the importance of property rights. Today, it has expanded to celebrate the value of home ownership and strenghten the relationship between Realtors, homeowners and their communities. We are requesting that all municipalities within the Durham Region declare September 21 to September 27, 1997, to be "ONTARIO HOME WEEK". This year's theme is Home Ownership: A Timeless Tradition. There are so many emotional and financial awards that come with home ownership, there really is no place like it! It is our hope that people will take advantage of Ontario Home Week to learn more about how they can make their dreams of home ownership come true. What better way to show "community spirit" than to have our local municipalities recognize the importance of home ownership and private property rights? On September 25th, we will be hosting a luncheon seminar at the Harmony Creek Golf Centre with special guest speaker P.I. Wade, The Catalyst. The luncheon is open to non-members at a cost of $25.00 plus G.S,T.

I realize that many of you are eager to plan for your new responsibilities which begin on Jan1llllY 1, 1998~ ' AB you know, the transfer of 100 per cent fh"ning responsibility for land ambulance services is part of the Who Does What initiative to realign fimning and service responsibilities between provincial and municipal goveinments.. The new alignment, based on a proposal from the ABsociation of Municipalities of Ontario, is intended to bring edllC.ati.on costs under contral and provide better services at lower cost to taxpayers. To facilitate municipalities becoming responsible for funding.and ensuring the delivery of land ambulance services, changes will be proposed to the relevant legislation. The changes being explored will provide the framework for municipalities to use when assuming their . responsibilities for land ambUlance services. The proposed changes are: . On Jan1llllY 1, 1998, each upper-tier municipality would be responsible for paying all of the costs associated with the provision of land ainbulance services within its border. · On Jan1llllY 1, 1998, with MinistIy approvaI. Regional governments that are ready could choose to talce over the responsibility for contracting with and funding directly existing land ambulance services. (A two-year transition period from Jan1llllY 1, 1998 to D""",,",her 31,1999 will protect current ambulance operators.) In all other areas of the Province, for the two-year period, the MinistIy of Health would fund land ambulance services and would bill municipalities for the cost of their ambulance 5efvice(s). . On January I, 2000, all Upper-tier Municipalities (Regional and County governments or their municipal equivalents) would assume responsibility for contracting for or directly delivering land ambulance services. When'the transition period for current providers ends. municipalities could choose to continue with the existing provider, decide to become the service provider themselves, or call for the highest quality, best price proposals. . 7430-4601 . On January 1, 2000, in those areas that do not form part ofan upper-tier municipality, arrangements would be put into place to ensure the local management and fair sharing of the costs of services by local municipalities and the residents of a territory without municipal organization. Local management would be canied out by service boards or municipalities. I I I I I I I I I I · Under this direction, the Ministry would provide a two year protection period to allow current operators and municipalities the opportunity to work together to ensure a smooth transition in roles and responsibilities. The changes we propose will introduce a new partnership between the province and municipalities. The ministry will work with municipalities to ensure that land ambulance services are accessible and consistent to all Ontarians. The ministry will fund and ensure the delivery of air ambulance services and central ambulance dispatch centres. The ministry will also continue to set standards for and licence land ambulance services, ensuring that consistent and seamless ambulance services will be maintained. You will be kept informed, as more information becomes available. In the meantime, if you _ require further clarification on the matters contained in this letter,. I invite you to speak to Graham Brand., Director of Emergency Health Services, at 416-327-7907 or Dennis Brown, . Project Manager, Emergency Health Services, at 416-327-7898.

BOX 491 BOWMANVILLE, ONT. L1C 3Z2 August 10, 1997 Mayor and rnernbers of Council, Town of Clarington, Bowrnanville Dear Mayor and Councillors, As you are aware the Bowmanville Sea Cadet Corps highlight of the year is the Annual Review, norrnally held on the last Sunday in May. We have been pleased to see the Clarington Council mernbers support this event through their attendance. For many years the Corps has been forced to hold this event, attracting up to 150 or more guests and speCtators, at either Orono or Newcastle Arena. The major reason for choosing these locations is associated with the cost of renting the arena, normally required for 2 hours on Saturday and 10arn to 5pm on Sunday. The Bowrnanville Branch of the Navy League of Canada is enthusiastic to explore the possibility of staging this event for 1997 in Bowrnanville where most of the cadets, farnily and friends reside, subject to cost. As you are aware we are a self-supporting organization keen to invest our hard earned funds in activities which directly reward the efforts of the participating cadets, as opposed to paying high rental fees, BUT recognizing that Bowrnanville is the base for this organization we are keen to explore any way whereby we could hold the event in Bowrnanville at least for one year. I and other rnembers of the Comrnittee would be happy to discuss this rnatter further with rnembers of Council.

Cloa<;<ab" Donatio" No. 0311886-01 1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I OP - ED for the Toronto Star During the past week, there has been much written on the Ontario Provincial Governrnent's recent proposal to pool property taxes throughout the Greater Toronto Area (G.T.A.) to pay for the downloading of social services such as welfare and housing. This idea of sharing the costs between the suburbs and Metro Toronto has been hailed by the media al)d others as courageous and fair. But how fair is a plan that only proposes to share costs, without there also being a plan for the sharing of publicly funded resources? It would appear that proponents, in their eagerness to jump on the pooling bandwagon, have done so without fully understanding the situation that exists in the 905 G.T.A. communities of Durham, Peel, York and Halton. As the provincial government is well aware, there are currently huge inequities in funding for social services in those 905 G.T.A. communities when compared to Toronto and other areas of Ontario. Funding in the 905 has not kept pace with its rapid growth. This chronic underfunding has put enormous strain on services for children and youth and on the hospitals in the 905. A Ministry of Cornmunity and Social Services' discussion paper released in March 1995 showed the gross disparities in funding for services financed under the Child and Family Services Act including child welfare, young offender, child development, and children's mental health. The 905 communities with their fast growing. populations of young families were shown to be the poorest funded areas in the Province. According to the Ministry figures, children's services >in Metro Toronto were receiving $424 per child, while Durham Region, for example, received $187 per child. This is a situation which has continued to worsen. Cuts to services have been rnade since 1995 equally across the board at the sarne time the child population in the 905 continues to rnushroom. While, the provincial government recognizes the unfairness in the current funding forrnula, little has been done to address its inequities. The Children's Aid Society of fhe Durham Region is dedicated to protecting and promoting the well-being and best interests of children. Q\aritable Donalion No. 0311866-01 I I I I I I I I I I I I I . I I .1 I I ,.J ." . , ...4 This situation has created a critical shortage of essential services and supports in the 905 for children and adolescents. Over the past few months there has been considerable attention paid by the media to the difficulties Metro Toronto's Children's Aid Societies are experiencing as they try to keep up with child protection dernands while their budgets are either being flatlined or cutback. But, nowhere in the Province is this underfunding situation rnore grave than it is for the Durharn, York, Peel and Halton Children's Aid Societies. The 905 Children's Aid Societies are the four lowest per child funded C.A.S. in the Province. Since 1992, Durham Region's child population has grown by over 15%, and child protection caseloads have doubled, while at the same time Durharn CAS. has lost $1.9 million in funding and 27 staff. The 905 Children's Aid Societies receive funding ranging from $67 to $120 per child. The three Toronto CAS. receive funding ranging from $173 to $243 per child, with the Ontario CAS. average being $159 per child. If Durham C.A.S. was funded at the Ontario average it would go from an $11 million budget to a $20 million budget, and to a $30 million budget if funded at the same rate as the Toronto Children's Aid Societies. The 905 areas are struggling to service their growing populations and the many emerging social problems that are developing, but obviously with an expanding client population and fewer reSources, vital services and programs have been eliminated. The Durham Children's Aid Society, for example, has cut services for disabled chiidren, support groups for high risk families, and its treatment program for children who have been sexually abused. As the provincial governrnent sets up a Task Force of G.T.A. representatives to once again try and sort out the downloading issue, they must remember that before there can be any pooling of costs in the G.T.A. for social services, there has to be a consistent level of access to needed services for every child and farnily. Metro Toronto has asked the 905 comrnunities to recognize that they have a disproportionate number of people who are below the poverty line living in their jurisdiction. It is equally important to remernber that the 905 has a disproportionate number of children living in their area. If you are a parent who has been waiting over a year for sirnply an assessment to be done on a troubled child, or for a year and a half for speech pathology for a language delayed child, or for physical therapy for a child with muscular dystrophy, it is simply not fair to pool costs to help pay for social services in Metro Toronto without also dealing with the inequities of resources that exist in the G.T.A. communities. - 30- 2 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ili~\1W) t,\J1l '\ 9 ir,S7 . . >' , 'H Of Cv.R1tlG1Q\\1 ,-,,' J :,"l"'~'~YOR'S OffICE DIRECTION 0-12 August 15, 1997 AGENDA Diane Hamre, Mayor Municipality of Clarington Municipal Office 40 Temperance St. Bowmanville, ON L 1 C 3A6 Dear Ms. Hamre: Hospice is a special way of caring for people with life-threatening illness and for their families. Our goal is to help patients to live life as fully as possible, while staying in their homes. I am pleased to send to you a copy of our Annual Report and summer newsletter. Our service has shown a steady growth and development over the past several years, and the demand continues to increase. With the dramatic changes occurring in the health care system, rnore patients are experiencing shorter hospital stays and more direct care is being provided at home, with the accompanying heavy reliance on community based services. When facing a life-threatening diagnosis, hospice is an altemative to which people can turn for support and assistance. Hospices are regarded in many communities as one of the essential services, and at present, Hospice volunteers are the province's largest direct service providers. Your support and continuing interest is important to us! We will be emphasizing our public profile and promoting awareness during Hospice Week which occurs from October 13 to October 19, 1997. As in the past, we wish to plan a flag raising ceremony with you, as well as a presentation to council when a prodamation regarding Hospice Week is made. Please let me know of the arrangements required. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours truly I c~~;Tm.:f ;.)I'l , ti ',--- -y . lL&lJ;a ~ '. '-.' ~~1. Cheryl MacLeod Executive Director ~.__.

Re: 1996 Audit Report and Management Letter The Council report and resolution on the above subject was presented to the Commission at the meeting on July 18, 1997. The report was reviewed and justification considered, but the Commission is still of the opinion that the audit services should be tendered. This is not a result of being disSatisfied with the current audit services. To the contrary, we are very pleased with the current auditor. However, we do feel that there are other qualified accountants that can provide equal service who should be given the opportunity to bid. Being a public organization, the Commission feels it has an obligation to allow vendors to competitively bid for goods and services required by the Commission. The rationale for the policy is as follows: 1) Open bidding from qualified bidders obtains the best value for the Commission. Quite often, tendering services results in the incumbent receiving the work, but at a reduced price. 2) Open bidding ensures fair access to Commission business. The funds that the Commission spend belong to our ratepayers. Some of those ratepayers are qualified vendors that should have the opportunity to bid for the Commission's work. The Municipal Treasurer's report was reviewed by the Commission. The Commission feels that there is not adequate justification presented to bypass the public tender process for audit services. " The Commission passed the following resolution: THAT the Clarington Hydro-Electric Commission respectfully request the Municipality of Clarington Council to tender audit services for the year ending 1998.

Collenette: Congratulations on your re-election as Member of Parliament for Don Valley East and your appointment as Minister of Transport and Minister Responsible for the Greater Toronto Area. The day after your appointment on June 11, the Toronto Star reprinted excerpts from your speech to the Canadian Urban Institute, in which you said, We should ... encourage the development of grand urban visions, the type that gave us the remaking of London ... Vienna... [and] Paris. Surely it is the role of the national government to summon the courage when others hesitate and craft an urban strategy for the 21st century. Only then will we fulfil our duty to the millions of our citizens who choose to live in our great cities, of which Toronto is the greatest. As citizens of Toronto, North York, York, Scarborough, East York, and Etobicoke, we would like to thank you for your comments and encourage you to pursue t1iis vision within the federal Cabinet. In this context, we beg you to give your immediate and urgent attention to the welfare of Metropolitan Toronto! The civic infrastructure of this internationally respected urban centre - the financial and economic engine of Canada - is being dismantled in a pointless exercise that flies in the face of every Canadian tradition of democracy and responsible government. The federal cabinet has the power and responsibility to stop this madness. While the Constitution of Canada gives the provincial governments exclusive jurisdiction to legislate with ,respect !to mimicipal institutions, that same Constitution (Sections 56 and 90) gives the federal:.goveinment the authority to disallow any piece of provincial legislation within one year of its passage. This power was exercised 112 times in the first 80 years of Confederation. ' -2- The recent decision of the Ontario Court of Justice with respect to the appeal of the City. of Toronto Act. 1997 has reaffirmed the legal power of the Province to pass the legislation but at the same time documented the undemocratic and irresponsible nature of the process. Judge Borins points out that there was no prior study, no commission, no draft bill or position paper, that the hearings of the Standing Committee were too little and too late, and agrees that "the [referenda] results were deserying of consideration by the government as representing a significant expression of public opinion." Judge Borins concludes, however, that the remedy is political rather than legal. Unfortunately, a political remedy is not available at the provincial level because, once dismantled, the physical and administrative structures of six large governments can not be readily restored. Certainly the costs and chaos associated with this unplanned exercise could not be reversed by a decision of the electorate in a future provincial election. ' In contrast, Britain's new Labour government is taking the opposite approach to reforming the governance of the 32 boroughs of the city of London. Here's'how John Barber describes it in the Globe and Mail: The government has laid the questions out [in a green paper] and asked Londoners to help them make the decision. After three months of consultation, it plans to bundle its preferred options into a more detailed ' white paper. Then comes the best part. After considered debate over genuinely open questions, and after making its own position clear, the British government will then put the proposal to the ultimate test: a binding referendum. Londoners themselves will decide whether or not to accept a new mayor and regional government. We would assume that whatever structure of government Londoners choose, the implementation process will be carefully planned and executed. Just as the world is watching London, the world will be watching Metro Toronto. It is not an exaggeration to say that at this time no one in Metro Toronto really knows how the integration of six sets (seven including the Metro government) capital budgets, operating budgets, administrative systems, union contracts, official plans, zoning by- laws. libraries, fIre departments, parking, and noise regulations, and public works, waste collection, public health, parks and recreation programs will be handled! This for an area of 2.4 million people. The new Megacity Council to be elected this November will be saddled with these umesolved issues and the prospects are for years of decision-making gridlock arid administrative chaos. It is questionable whether the new Megacity will be able to carry out its complex responsibilities under the Plannin~ Act in a transparent and accountable manner. Not only will there be the predictable - and unpredictable ~sts of the transition process itself, but urban research indicates there will be increased ... "~.j , ~ l " < .

The ties that bind us to one allother are reflections of the ties that keep the greater family. the global community, together. All those participating in this week's activities should be proud of their contribution; their faith in the enduring strength offamily life will help to ensure a bright and promisingfut~fe for ou/country. Please accept my best wishesfor a most enjoyable alld productive week. ~u_~ OITAWA 1997 . I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ~ THE GOVERNOR GENERAL LE GOUVERNEUR GENERAL RIDEAU HALL aITAWA In today's society, when many of us are so busy, it is easy to overlook the importance of things that are closest to us. Too often, our families are the first thing we take for granted. It is important, then, to take the time to celebrate them. National Family Week is a chance to do this, When our families nurture, support and care for us, they also teach us the values we pass on to our communities. Strong families make for strongcommunities. When we create neighbourhoods that are safe and friendly, where families look out for each other, all Canadians benefit. As Honorary Patron of Family Service Canada," I hope all Canadians will celebrate their families this week, not only for their love and support, but also for the contributions they bring to our lives.

I am also writing to. urge you to join with municipal governments across Canada in reviewing your municipality's policies respecting the granting of access to rights-of-way to telecommunicatiolJs companies. The purpose is to ensure that no costs and liapilities are imposed on municipal . governments and taxpayers as a result of the use of public rights-of-way by the telecommunications industry. The federal Telecommunications.Act (the Act), which came into force in 1993, gave cable television companies the same legal right of access to municipal rights-of-way which telephone companies had enjoyed' for years. Under the Act, telecommunications,companies must obtain the consent of the municipality before accessing municipal rights-of-way. If the municipality does not comply, companies. may apply to the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) for access, thus circumventing the municipality. Neither the Act, the CRTC, nor Industry Canada, has provided guidance on what terms and conditions the CRTC would deem reasonable for municipal governments to set before granting access. .../2 24. rue Clarence Street, Ottawa, Ontario KIN SP3 TelephonefTelephone: (613) 241-5221.

As a result of recent and impending federal deregulation of the telecommunications industry, competition, and technological convergence between services offered by cable television and telephone companies, those costs and liabilities are increasing rapidly. So too are the difficulties caused by the crowding of privately-owned infrastructure in public rights-of-way, especially in urban areas. Direct costs for municipal governments include: additional construction and maintenance costs for municipal sewer and water facilities due to the presence of telecommunications duct banks in the rights-of-way; reduced pavement life due to telecommunications cuts; administration of right-of-way access requests, plan, reviews, approvals, inspections, staff training; and additional costs in relocating municipal and private infrastructure in rights-of-way when necessitated for planning and development reasons. Indirect costs include: liability for economic losses, legal costs or physical restoration costs resulting from disruptions to telecommunications infrastructure and services caused by municipal crews; and lost opportunity costs through inadequate or non existent revenues from telecommunications firms using municipal property for profit. including both proviilciallylterritorially regulated taxes and user fees negotiated directly between the municipal government and the telecommunications firm. . . . In order to protect municipal taxpayel'$ from the growing costs and liabilities arising from the use of rights-of"way by telecommunications companies, FCM . developed and circulated a model Municipal Access Agreement to all member municipalities in 1995. FCM encouraged membel'$ to apply the FCM Model Agreement in negotiating access to their rights-of-way with telecommunications companies. The FCM Model Agreement was provided also to Stentor Telecom Policy Inc., the alliance representing Canada's major telephone companies, and the Canadian Cable Television Association (CCTA). The industry is now fully aware of municipal concerns respecting rights-of-way and agreements respecting the principles of the FCM Model Agreement have been negotiated, for example, in the Cities of Vancouver and Edmonton. FCM's position is that municipal governments must be able to control the . quantity and location of telecommunications infrastructure on municipal property as well as access to municipal rights-of-way. Any costs and liabilities created as a result of the use of municipal rights-of-way should be bome exclusively by the corporations, not municipal governments and taxpayel'$. Finally, municipal governments should receive revenues over and above their expenses as proper compensation for the use .1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I -3- of municipal property for profit. With video-on-demand, video game, Internet and competing telephone and cable television services available, FCM believes that telephone and cable television companies should no longer enjoy the rights and privileges of monopoly utility companies. Each municipal government in Canada has a responsibility to ensure that, in granting access to its rights-of-way, the interests of the community and taxpayers are in no way compromised. During the past year, FCM refined its economic and legal arguments and continued to promote its position with member municipalities, the telecommunications industry and federal regulators. In February 1997, FCM made its first-ever intervention before the CRTC to insist that the municipal consent provisions of the Act be honoured by telecommunications firms before they begin work on municipal property. The case involved the applications by Bell Canada and Telus Multimedia Inc. to offer trial Internet and video-on-demand services in Repentigny, London, Edmonton and Calgary. The CRTC's ruling on May 8th neither supported nor opposed the municipal position, stating simply that no specific remedial actions were required at that time.. Municipal governments have made it clear to FCM that they want to see national concerted action in defence of municipal rights. Through their experience in dealing with telecommunications firms, our members have concluded that working together through FCM is the most effective and economical means to protect their fundamental rights respecting control of rights-of-way, to recover substantial costs being imposed on them by telecommunications firms using rights-of-way, and to secure new sources of revenue worth potentially tens of millions of dollars annually. The stakes on this issue are enormous and affect every municipality in Canada. Municipal governments in the United States, for example, generate hundreds of millions of dollars annually from telecommunications companies in right-of-way access fees. FCM's Executive Committee has designated the telecommunications issue as a policy priority for 1997-98. FCM is implementing a mitional plan of action to raise awareness of the financial and liability implications for municipal governments, increase solidarity on the basic principles of the FCM Model Agreement, seek the agreement of the telecommunications industry to these principles, and to defend the municipal position before the CRTC or the courts should this become necessary. Given the costs and difficulties associated with defending municipal rights before the multi-billion dollar telecommunications industry and the CRTC, the active political and financial support of all member municipalities on this issue is required. That is why the Action Plan includes a request to each member municipality for an equitable per capita contribution to the "Municipal Right-of-Way Defence Fund". .../4 I I I I I I I I I I I I I . 4.ierrul I I I I I J -4- I am pleased to report that FCM's Policy Statement respecting access to rights-of-way received the unanimous approval of delegates at FCM's 60th Anniversary Annual Conference held June 6-9 in Ottawa. I am equally pleased that the FCM Action Plan on Telecommunications received the strong support of the FCM Big City Mayors Caucus at its May rJI' meeting in Quebec City. For your information, I have enclosed a copy of the Policy Statement, Model Access Agreement, Action Plan, and draft Guidelines for the Municipal Right-of-Way Defence Fund. I also enclose a copy of telecommunications motions which were adopted by the FCM Big City Mayors Caucus in May and should be adopted by each member council of FCM. I urge your council to adopt these motions at its earliest opportunity and to join in solidarity with municipal governments across Canada in defending the fundamental rights and interests of municipal governments. Numerous members of FCM have already done so and pledged or sent in their contributions to the Municipal Right-of- Way Defence Fund. These include Vancouver, New Westminster, Surrey, Edmonton, London, Metro Toronto and Pointe Claire. Please infonn FCM of the results of this initiative in your community. I would also ask that you advise FCM of all new applications by telecommunications finns for access to rights-of-way and of any disputes with telecommunications finns which might exist or arise in your municipality.

I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I July 18, 1997 MUNICIPAL RIGHT-OF-WAY DEFENCE FUND ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES One or more test cases will be identified by the FCM Subcommittee on Telecommunications, which reports to the FCM National Board of Directors and Executive Committee via the Standing Committee on National Transportation and Communications. Should negotiations with the telecommunications industry prove unsatisfactory, a test case brought to the CRTC by a municipality in dispute with a telecommunications firm or vice versa shall be eligible for FCM political support and financial support from the Municipal Right-of-Way Defence Fund according to the criteria below. 1. Fund Contributions: A. Each FCM member municipality is requested to contribute 3~ per capita based on the 1991 census (basis of 1996-97 FCM membership billing); B. Municipalities which are members of regional governments which own rights- of-way are requested to contribute 2~ per capita and the regional govemment is requested to contribute 1 ~ per capita; C. Saskatchewan municipalities are requested to contribute 2~ per capita due to SaskTel's current exemption from Telecommunications Act; 2. Case Evaluation: A. The case must involve a CRTC-regulated telecommunications firm; . B. The case should be encompassing enough to clearly demonstrate a precedent that may be referenced nationally; C. The case should be straightforward in that the request for access to rights-of- way and the requirement by the municipality for a formal agreement is clear; D. The case should be one that will not present undue hardship to customers where access to service is denied pending resolution; E. The affected municipality must be able to provide a documented history to the satisfaction of the FCM Subcommittee on Telecommunications; F. The municipality must be willing to provide, inasmuch as it is able, administrative time and financial support to the process for items such as . research costs, in-house legal costs, report and administrative approvals, etc.. .. . ./2 -2- 3. Disbursement of Funds A. All funds shall be used for outside costs relating to necessary research, meetings, legal work and other costs relating to negotiations with the telecommunications industry and interventions before the CRTC and the courts, providing the work is done at the request of FCM. FCM will continue to provide in-kind support through staff salaries, supplies, etc.; B. Disbursements shall be approved by the National Board of Directors upon the recommendation of the Standing Committee on National Transportation and Communications and the Subcommittee on Telecommunications; . C. In the event of insufficient time, disbursements may be approved by the Executive Director upon the recommendation of the Subcommittee on Telecommunications, in which case the Board of Directors shall. be so advised at its next meeting; D. Only cases approved by FCM as described above shall be eligible for funding from the Municipal Right-of-Way Defence Fund. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 4. -2- Negotiations with Stentor, the CCTA and tHe Federal Government: Once the research is complete, FCM, in consultation with members, will launch a new round of negotiations with Stentor Telecom Policy and the Canadian Cable Television Association (CCTA) to try to reach agreement on the principles of the FCM Model Agreement. If a satisfactory agreement is reached, it would be presented jointly to the CRTC and Industry Canada as the basis upon which the Telecommunications Act should be interpreted. If a guarantee could be provided that the Act would, indeed, be interpreted in conformity with the agreement, the FCM campaign would end. Otherwise, a case would have to be brought to the CRTC either by FCM or the industry. ' 5. Hearings of the CRTC: Through its Subcommittee on. Telecommunications, FCM will identify a . dispute between a municipality and a telecommunications firm which would best selVe as a precedent case for all municipalities if brought before the CRTC. With the support of FCM, the member municipality in question will bring the dispute to the CRTC. A1tematively, FCM may be forced to defend a municipality in a dispute which the industry may bring to the CRTC. Depending on the length and complexity of the hearings, legal and other costs could range from $100,000 to $400,000. 6. Constitutional Court Challenge Stentor has suggested that it is prepared to mount a constitutional law challenge to the municipal consent provisions of the Telecommunications Act should matters not unfold to its satisfaction. Defending municipal rights in such a case could well cost more than intelVening before the CRTC. Further fund raising as necessary would be undertaken should a constitutional court ch.allenge be mounted. ..J2 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I (May 1997) FCM ACTION. PLAN ONJELECOMMUNICATIONS ACCESS TO M1lN1CIPAL.BlGl:IJS-OF-WAY Working together through FCM is the most effective and economical means for Canadian municipal governments to protect their fundamental rights respecting control of municipal rights-of-way, to recover substantial costs being imposed on them by telecommunications finns using rights-of-way, and to secure new sources of revenue worth potentially tens of millions annually. 1. Awareness and Solidarity: FCM will advise all member municipalities of the financial and liability implications of the rights-of-way issue and request municipal councils to endorse the five principles contained in the FCM Model Agreement and' commit to reject any agreements with telecommunications finns which do not respect these principles. 2. Fundnilslng: FCM will start to raise funds from member municipalities. Member municipalities will be asked to contribute 3 cents per capita based on the 1991 census. In areas where both a regional municipality and its constituent municipalities are responsible for rights-of-way, the regional municipality will be asked to contribute 1 cent per capita and its constituent municipalities 2 cents per capita. All funds will be dedicated to the telecommunications issue for outside costs relating to necessary research, legal and other costs regarding interventions before the CRTC and the courts. FCM will continue to provide in-kind support through staff salaries and supplies. 3. Research on Legal Position and Valuation Principles: Once sufficient funds have been acquired, FCM will undertake research. using outside expertise where necessary, to prepare a strong legal position favouring municipal authority over rights-of-way and to establish sound principles for the valuation of municipal rights-of-way in Canada. I I I I I I I I I '. I I . I . . . . . MOTIONS ON TELECOMMUNICATIONS FOR ADOPTION BY FCM MEMBERS 1. That each member of FCM receive the FCM Action Plan on Telecommunications as information; 2. that each member of Council of FCM endorse the following five principles outlined in the FCM Model Municipal Access Agreement before: (a) municipal govemments must have the ability to control the number and types of aboveground telecommunications pedestals, kiosks, etc., and the location of underground infrastructure; (b) the use of municipal rights-of-way by telecommunications companies must not impose financial costs on municipal govemments and taxpayers; (c) municipal govemments must not be responsible for the costs of relocating telecommunications infrastructure if relocation is required for planning or other reasons deemed necessary by the municipal govemment; (d) municipal govemments must not be liable for any economic loss, legal costs or physical restoration costs resulting from the disruption of telecommunications services arising out of the actions of a municipal govemment unless grossly negligent; and . (e) municipal govemments must receive revenues over and above their direct costs in providing access to rights-of-way as proper compensation for the use of municipal property for profit. 3. that each member of Council establish a policy by resolution or by-law, as may be necessary, whereby access to municipal rights-of-way will be denied to any telecommunications finn which does not agree in writing to the five principles as set out above; 4. that each member municipality contribute on a per capita basis to the "Municipal Right-of-Way Defence Fund" as detailed in the enclosed Guidelines to be used by FCM to protect the fundamental rights of municipal govemments respecting control of municipal rights-of-way, to help municipal govemment recover substantial costs being imposed on them by telecommunications finns, and to help municipal governments secure new sources of revenue worth potentially tens of millions of dollars annually. {Motions adopted by the FCM Big City Mayors Caucus - May 9, 1997] FEDERATION OF CANADIAN MUNICIPALITIES POLICY STATEMENT ON TELECOMMUNICATIONS TELECOMMUNICATIONS - ACCESS TO MUNICIPAL RIGHTS-OF-WAY I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I " ." HISTORY AND LEGISLATIVE BACKGROUND As telecommunications networks were built in Canada, it became common practice for municipal govemments to grant free right-of-way access to telecommunications companies. The new Telecommunications Act (the Act) came into force in 1993 and significantly deregulated the industry. In May 1995, the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) released a report entitled "Competition and Culture on Canada's Infonnation Highway: Managing the Realities of Transition". In addressing the issue of competition, one of the three broad policy areas in the report, the Convergence Report stated that "there was wide support for the operating principle that 'fair' and 'substantiar competition is in the best interests of consumers". It went on to note that "competition is generally reoognized as the best means of stimulating choice . . . and economic growth". The COnvergence Report made no reference to access to municipal rights-of-way; nor to the impact that deregulation will have on municipalities. EFFECT OF DEREGULATION. ON MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS In 1994, FCM struck a national technical committee with representatives from municipalities across Canada to address the potential impact of deregulation on its members. It is clear from recent experiences of municipalities and a review of the Convergence Report and the Act that greater demand is being placed on the limited resources known as rights-of-way. Competition and convergence will mean more requests for access to these municipal rights-of-way in future. l/1/hether due to new companies entering the fray. existing companies wanting to expand their network or from companies "crossing over," municipal rights-of-way are quickly becoming a scarce resource. All municipal govemments have to cope with rising administrative costs and increased liability associated with the presence of these infrastructures in their rights-of-way. The Ct.ment general practice of providing access to rights-of-way with little consideration of municipal interests is fundamentally unfair, contravenes existing legislation and is inconsistent with the new reality of competition in the telecommunications industry. Under the Act. the right of telecommunications companies to use municipal rights-of-way is subject to municipal consent Municipal govemments may therefore set tenns and conditions in return for granting access. Section 43 of the Act provides that "No Canadian carrier or distribution undertaking shaD construct a transmission line on, over, under, or along a highway or other public place without the consent of the municipality or other public authority having jurisdiction over the highway or other public way." Deregulation and the rapid changes in technology affect municipal govemments in two ways. First. with existing technology, telecommunication companies must use municipal rights-of- way. These rights-of-way can only contain a finite number of facilities. induping municipally owned infrastructure, various utilities and competing telephone and cable televISion wires. Second, a potential source of municipal revenue has been created which should allow for cost recovery as well as additional compensation for the use of public (muiiicipa.l) asse':l for. profit I I I I I I I I I I I I I 1 II I I I I II ,~' ....... 2 In early 1995. FCM approached both the Canadian Cable and Television Association (CCTA) and Stentor Telecom Policy Inc. (representing major telephone companies across Canada) to negotiate a model agreement for access to municipal rights-of-way. Stentor noted that it had serious reservations regarding FCM's proposed model agreement. but would be prepared to discuss the matter with FCM. The CCTA also expressed a willingness for dialogue but, to date. no serious negotiations have taken place. FCM's focus since 1995 has been to educate member municipalities on the issue and further develop its position in defence of municipal rights under the Act. On behalf of all Canadian municipalities, FCM intervened in a case before the CRTC in February 1997 in defence of the requirement of municipal consent for access to municipal righHf- way. In many cities, rights-of-way at many downtown intersections are already at capacity. Municipal govemments must have the ability to assign locations and control the alignments used by each utility and telecommunications company" In addition, it will likely be necessary for municipalities to require joint use of ducts and the construction of common facilities in the future. . Above ground facilities Includinll overhead fines, cabinets, kiosks and pedestals have implications ',for the enjoyment of property IlY private owners and use of righHf-way of way by citizens. In addition. where these facilities are placed in prominent locations, their negative visual Impact reduces market value, therebyclffecting municipal property tax revenue. Municipal govemments must retain the right to determine the location of telecommunications facilities and to require that infrastructure be relocated belo\igrade. . FCM'S POSITION In FCM's model agreement presented to the telecommunications industry in 1995 and to the CRTC In February 1997, FCM established and defended five principles: 1. Municipal govemments must have the ability to control the number and types of aboveground telecommunications pedestals. kiosks, etc., as well as the .Iocatlon .of underground infrastructure. ' . 2. The use of municipal rights-of-way by telecommunications companies must not impose any financial burden on municipal governments and taxpayers. 3. Municipal governments must not be responsible for . the costs of relocating telecommunications infrastructure if relocation Is required for urban planning or for other reasons deemed n~ry by the municipal g()vernment 4. Municipal governments must not be liable for economic loss, legal costs or physical restoration costs resulting from the disruption of telecommunications services arising out of the actiOns of a municipal govemment 5. Municipal govemments are entitled. to receive revenues over and above direct costs associated with righHf-way as compensation from corporations using public (municipal) property for profit, as federal and provincial govemments do today. SPACE ALLOCATION AND AESTHETICS/ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS FCM recognizes that all users of righHf-way should be affordecl8ccess on an equitable basis, providing they endorse the priiiciples outlined above and recogniZe that they have no right 3 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I :,. , . I I " to impose additional costs and liabilities on municipal govemments and taxpayers as a result of their activities. Joint use of limited space should be encouraged. The issue of reserve capacity, whereby the first company into the right of way would be required to construct additional duct banks for joint use, is being con$dered. . COST TO MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTSITAXPAYERS a) Out-of-Pocket Costs Sewer and water facilities are typically deeper than telecommunications facilities due to gravity flow and as protection against freeze-up. Municipal sewer and water facilities are far more difficult to construct than telecommunications duct banks. Municipal taxpayers are exposed to additional construction and maintenance costs for municipal infrastructure due to the presence of telecommunications duct banks in the rights-of-way. . . These costs are due to;.. acquisition of sutlicient rights-of-way; difficult alignments due to altemate space occupied by duct banks; locating, hand digging and supporting ducts to avoid damaging them; precautions required to avoid employee injury; reduced pavement utility and Ufe cycle due to utilityltelecommunication cuts; and administration of rights-of-way, including plan review, approval and inspection; b) Relocation Costs FCM believes that, should relocation of teleconvnunications equipment become necessary, such should not be done at the cost of the municipality. It is agreed that if a develope(s project necessitated the relocation, then that developer should pay the cost of such relocation. If, on the other hand, the relocation is necessitated by a municipality, it should not be responsible for any of the costs, regardless of how soon after installation the relocation was necessitated. Telecommunication companies use municipal rights-of-way knowing full well that ongoing municipal infrastructure maintenance and reconstruction is normal. Yet FCM is aware of one member municipality which needed to rebuild a bridge as it was no longer suitable for its primary purposes. That municipality and its taxpayers were expected to pay the cost of relocating the private teteconvnunication facilities attached to the bridge. Some measure of relocation is Inevitable and this must be seen by utility and teleconvnunications firms as part of the cost of doing business. These finns must assume the full costs associated with necessary relocations' of their facilities. LIABILITY FCM believes that municipal governments should not pay for any economic losses, legal costs, or physical restoration costs resulting frOm the disruption of telecommunication services alRlg out of the actions of a municipality. Rather. the costs of using the ,rights-of-way should be bome by the user of the rights-of-way. This principle is to be employed even if municipal peISOnnel are negligent . I I I I I I I I I I , I I I I I Iii I 'I I t:" '" 4 MUNICIPAL REVENUES As noted above, FCM believes that all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by a municipality in administering the.use of its rights-of-way should be fully recoverable. The question of whether revenue over and above municipal out of pocket expenses should be sought is more controversial. Historically, municipal govemments viewed the utility companies as franchises and as a result gave their consent without any consideration of revenue. In FCM's view, however, deregulation of the industry has forced municipal govemments to reconsider the practice of granting access without compensation. FCM believes that private sector companies making profits using public rights-of-way should retum some of the revenue to the municipality based on the carrier's gross revenue or meters of right-of-way used. In some jurisdictions in the United States, for example, telcos pay 5 % of gross revenues for access to municipal rights-of-way. FCM believes it Is both more fair and consistent with the federal govemmenfs user pay philosophy that costs associated with the use of rights-of-way by telecommunications firms be absorbed by the users as opposed to property tax payers. . MODEL ACCESS AGR~ENT A common approach can and should be taken on the issues embodied in the FCM model agreemenl The model agreement has been made available to all member municipal governments. It has also been the subject of prerminary discussions betweenindividual municipalities and Stentor member companies as well as CCTA member companies. FCM understands that some telecommunications providers have already entered into agreements with host municipalities based on the FCM model agreemenl FCM will continue to promote and defend municipal interests through the model agreement and in interventions or discussions with the CRTC and industry associations. Strategies FCMwill: a) advise member municipalities to not sign agreements with cable and other convnunications companies that in any way vary with the basic principles ouUined in the FCM model agreement; and b) advise member municipalities to infonn FCM when approached by Stentor and CCTA member companies to sign agreements.

At the end of May 1997, the Citizens' Network on Waste Management sent you a letter and fact sheets that discussed how to protect the future of the Blue Box. Over the past five months we have been working in conjunction with staff/representatives of municipalities, environmental groups, industry and industry associations to further develop this work, and have documented the strategy we developed in the attached report. The strategy has the following components: . Curbside collection based on full producer responsibility -" no taxpayer subsidies" . Deposit-retum systems, starting with beverage containers . Convenient return to retail with adequate compensation for retailers . Regulations with increasing refillables targets and a timetable for their adoption . Education on product take-back and reuse . Consultation on methods for meeting refillables targets Als.o enclosed is a council resolution for your consideration that contains the components of the strategy. This resolution has already been adopted by the Town of Prescott (attached) and is on the agenda for consideration by several municipalities. We respectfully request that you put this resolution and final Strategy Report on the agenda for consideration by your council. We are aware that many municipalities have already passed council resolutions in support of deposit-retum regulations in response to various requests (e.g. from the Canadian Federation of Municipalities and the Canadian Bottle Recyclers Inc.). Support for deposit-return is a necessary first step toward product stewardship. Our proposed council resolution includes deposit-return, and further proposes full producer responsibility and reuse. Such a strategy will yield higher diversion rates, improve environmental protection and save municipalities money. We would be pleased to meet with your councillors if you believe such a ~-- be useful. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me should you requ re . TION f infonnation.

(historical data shows just the opposite) I Dr. Meyboom prerented his argument without being able to produce any ~ economic data and even acknowledged he cIld nollum to pnxluce any supponing economic data. That will be the problem of the new council.

Mayor Diane Hamre will sign a proclamation at the Town Hall declaring the month of September as Big Brothers Month. Events throughout the month will include our 8th Annual Pet Show ,Golf Tournament, our 3rd Annual BBQ and Talent Showcase and many. other exciting activities. Big Brothers of Clarington will be using this spe.cial Month to launch an all out recruitment effort aimed at reaching more adult volunteers to meet the needs of the boys in our community. Big Brothers, Big Bunch and Mentoring volunteers, Board and committee members are needed. There are 18 Little Brothers waiting for a friend. Increasing numbers of children are growing up in single-parent households; and often their needs are more than one individual can meet. For over three decades, Big Brothers and sisters of Canada and its member agencies has been concerned with helping these kids make it. Friendship, understanding, a sense of self-worth are the gains of the child. Most Big Brother volunteers maintain that they receive more benefits from the relationship than they give. The knowledge that they are needed and the joys of the good times spent with their young friends make the experience one of the most valuable in their lives. During the upcoming month, Mayor'Diane Hamre will ask the men of our community if they can spare a little time each week to be a friend to a young boy.

This day is a celebration of the accomplishments of more than 10,000 co-operatives, credit unions and caisse popuIaires from coast to coast. This year's theme is Cooperation... Now More Than Ever! In the past, we have been fortunate to have the Council of Clarington declare this day "Credit Union Day" by way of proclamation. We would respectfully request that Council once again give consideration to making this proclamation. Owned and democratically controlled by the people they serve, these special businesses provide services to 12 million members, they provide jobs to 135,000 workers, they build community by bringing people from all segments of society together to work for common goals, and they reinvest their earnings in the communities that they help to create. For the millions of people in the world, credit unions are the only financial institution available to them which safely provides the opportunity to save and borrow at fair interest rates, the chance to establish financial control and self-reliance through co-operation with others, education and counselling . . . all of which lead to the improvement in the quality of life for themselves and their families.

We believe that the new title reflects a more realistic picture of our "mission". We will still be working in conjunction with the support of the provincial body while coordinating several local activities for the month around awareness, prevention, education and training, children's programs and of course, fundraising. Our annual general meeting and election of new board members will take place during this period as well as donor recognition. As many organizations are finding it increasingly difficult to fundraise we are continuing our efforts to look for financial support from foundations, business and industry and community service organizations. It has become a daily struggle to obtain monetary commitment, while attaining (or maintaining) the goals and objectives ofthe shelter. We do not want our focus to become strictly fundraising! We anticipate the declaration of "End Violence Against Women and Children Month" will assist us in our campaign objectives. We look forward to your response as soon as possible. Thank you for your consideration. ~ISTRIBUTioN~ ! C!.ERK__ .' i~CK.

I I I I I I I I I I I I .1 I i I I I (b) ,3 - September 8, 1997 Libby Racansky, 3200 Hancock Road, Courtice, llE 2Ml, spoke in opposition to this proposal because of the additional numbers in population and related adverse impact that this might have on the Farewell Creek tributaries. She requested a meeting of all parties. Evylin Stroud, 89 little Avenue, Bowmanville, llC 119, expressed concerns pertaining to Section 4.3 of Report PD-109-97 which addresses population figures.

Brian Strong, 3151 Courtice Road North, Courtice, l1E 2H8, appeared on behalf of his neighbour, Samuel Dearden, and requested clarification on a letter which was sent from the Central lake Ontario Conservation Authority to Mr. Dearden. William Manson, W.D.M. Consultants, 20 Clematis Road, Willowdale, M21 4X2, expressed support for the staff recommendations and explained the proposed density and the storm water management. His request for an Official Plan Amendment is, in his view, minimal and merely a housekeeping matter. He noted that he is willing to meet with the residents. Report PD-1 10-97 - Tunney Planning on behalf of Paula Lishman International Limited - proposed official plan amendment and zoning by- law amendment to change the designation in the C1arington Official Plan and the zone category within Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63 in order to permit the development of a 2500 square metre fur garment manufacturing plant. Phil Pisani, 3350 7th Concession, Orono, lOB lMO, advised that, although he supports Paul Lishman International Limited moving into the industrial part of the Municipality, he objects to a factory moving into permanent agricultural and protected lands. He noted concerns pertaining to traffic, chemical storage on the site, further dedigration of the creek which he has watched for over 20 years and loss of his peace and quiet. Robert Kingsley, R.R. #1, Hampton, lOB 110, noted that the entrance to the property does not appear to be registered on title in the registry office. In his view, this property is land-locked. Rowland Kuijpers, 3258 Taunton Road, Orono, lOB 1 MO, advised that he lives adjacent to the property and that 500' of the driveway runs along his back yard.

I I Stuart Wood, R.R. #1, Orono, LOB 1MO, advised that his application was turned down 7 years ago and requested Committee to spend little time on this application. I Joe Domitrovic, 3872 Courtice Road, L 1E 2LS, questioned why Committee would even consider this application when, in spite of the fact that his business has been established on Courtice Road for 10 years, his application was denied. I I Marlene Spruyt, 3342 Concession Road 7, Orono, LOB 1MO, expressed concerns pertaining to this request being a major amendment to a recently approved official plan. She also noted that this precedent setting may be dangerous as it might lead other businesses to follow. I Dan Hooper, 3237 Concession Road 7, Orono, LOB 1MO, circulated a letter dated September 4, 1997 wherein he expressed his opposition to this application pertaining to: I . wildlife; old dump; Indian Burial grounds; poor water drainage; bad wells due to poor sewage drainage; why fish can't swim up the creek due to blockage; water temperature is being altered; noise; and future development into an environmentally protected area. I I . . . . . . I . . He noted that Mr. and Mrs. Lishman should be looking into the acquisition of land in an industrial area for their enterprise. He also expressed a fear that the Lishmans' are planning to develop ultra-light aircraft manufacturing on this site. I I Roy Forrester, 6 Mill Lane,Orono, LOB 1MO, circulated a copy of his presentation wherein he expressed opposition for this proposal noting that the new Clarington Official Plan has just recently been approved and, if this application is allowed to proceed, "the door is left wide open for further industrial development". He advised that the Lishman's proposal is within the drainage area of a creek that flows southeast through the property, some ponds and ultimately into the cold water Wilmot Creek. "For this reason" Mr. Forrester stated "we can't allow it to become another Second Marsh, another Bowmanville Creek and so to protect it the Lishman proposal should be denied". I I I I G.P.& A. Minutes - 5- September 8, 1997 I I PUBLIC MEETINGS CONT'D. I Bill Woods, 32% Taunton Road, Orono, LOB 1MO, stated his opposition to this proposal because of the adverse effect that it may have on the Wilmot Creek and the traffic problems related to the approval of this appl ication. I Troy Young, President of the Newcastle Chamber of Commerce and resident who lives south of Wilmot Creek. He noted that, although he shares the concerns of other speakers pertaining to reduced quality of life if this application is allowed to proceed, he is afraid of the kind of message that this will send to the business community. I I Frank Harris, 3403 liberty Street North, R.R. #5, Bowamnville, L 1C 3Ar., questioned whether an environmental impact study of this proposal has been done and noted that he is devastated and disturbed by this application. I Susan Sawyer Decosta, Orono Downtown Business Improvement Area, Box 309, Orono, LOB 1MO, expressed support for this project with some concern. She is not in favour of development for the sake of development but hopes that this proposal will be given the fair consideration that it deseoves. I I lean Kingsley, 4382 Green Road, Hampton, LOB 110, fears that approval of this application will result in loss of privacy and wildlife and will be a smokescreen for the next project.

"CARRIED" The meeting reconvened at 11 :SS a.m. I Kelly Adams, 3351 Concession Road 7, Orono, LOB 1MO, expressed support for the application on the basis that this property has been a piece of useless land for at least 15 years. He noted that when the gravel pit was in operation, the driveway handled a lot of traffic. He suggested that all the facts pertaining to the application should be heard so that an informed decision may be made. I I Glena Eikens, 4740 Main Street, Orono, LOB 1MO, has been a resident of Orono since 1963 and advised that, in view of the financial downturn of the past few years, he was "tickled pi,ck" when he heard about the Lishman application. I I Rita Trolley, R.R. #2, Concession 7, Orono, LOB 1MO, expressed support for the application with some concerns pertaining to Wilmot Creek and loss of privacy for adjacent residents. She noted that people need to work, the land has been unproductive and that this unique business is needed in Orono. In her estimation, the air strip has been in place for many years and the ultra lights are a joy. I G.P.& A. Minutes - 6- September B, 1997 PUBLIC MEETINGS CONT'D. Kevin Tunney, Tunney Planning, 340 Byron Street South, Whitby, II N 4P8, was present on behalf of the applicant along with Mr. Bill Lishman and Steve Usher, Hydrogeologist. He advised that the enterprise, on 50 acres, which is being applied for is not a typical industrial plant. He advised that Paula Lishman International Limited is based on an environmentally sensitive manufacturing process of knit fur garments and accessories and the Lishman's have shown a keen interest in conservation and preservation of the natural environment. He noted that an agricultural impact study was completed in June 1997 by Dale Toombs, Agricultural and Rural land Use Consultant. This report indicates that the 2 prevailing principles to establishing non-farm uses in an agricultural designation have been met. Mr. Tunney advised that a traffic report is forthcoming. He introduced Mr. Steve Usher, Hydrogeologist, who informed Members of the Committee that, during the course of his investigations, he could find nothing to indicate that industry will adversely impact the environment and the water courses. He found that there was sufficient water, a good septic bed, that the temperature and the quality of the water will not be adversely affected and that there are no existing hidden contaminants presently in the ground, Mr. Tunney advised that he will be pleased to provide copies of the Hydrogeological and Agricultural Impact Studies to anyone. He introduced Mr. Bill Lishman who advised that the development of the unrehabilitated gravel pit, along with the earth-integrated plant provides a unique opportunity which can only benefit the overall environment of this site as well as the economy of both the Municipality of Clarington and the Regional Municipality of Durham. He does not want to bring any harm to his neighbours and to the environment. All of the fur pelts are from an overabundance of beavers which are trapped by the aboriginals. He described the process of tanning and dyeing the pelts done in South Carolina and Montreal which lead to the pelts being brought back to be cut by home-workers and knitted and assembled at his facility which is also used for administration purposes. He extended an invitation to everyone to tour his existing facility in Blackstock. The lishman's now employ 50 people and hope to double that number in the future. They have searched throughout Durham looking for an appropriate setting with ambiance and earth-integrated architecture and concluded that this site is ideal for this purpose.
