Victor Gottwald addressed Council on behalf of his father D.K. Gottwald, 23 Ivan
Road, Westhill, MIC lVI, with respect to the General Purpose and
Administration Committee's decision to appeal the Committee of Adjustment
decision A96/057. Mr. Gottwald stated that in his opinion, Section 2.2 of Report
PD-5-97 is in error when it states when a one foot reserve on the Mearns Road
frontage was dedicated to the Municipality to prohibit direct driveway access. He
distributed to Members of Council a copy of a development agreement entered
into with the Municipality in 1995 which states that as a condition of the Land
Division approval, access to Mearns Avenue must be created. He stated that
Council will be in conflict of this agreement should the appeal go through.

Andrew Jamieson, 24 Quinn Drive, Bowmanville, LIC 3Tl, addressed Council on
behalf of residents who are in negotiations to purchase the Hydro easement at the
rear of the properties between Quinn Drive and Hetherington Drive.
Mr. Jamieson advised that the Land Division Committee charges $600 for each
application filed. In this case, an application fee of $16,200 is being requested
from the Region. Mr. Jamieson requested Council's assistance in approaching the
Region of Durham and request that they waive this fee in this instance.
I
I
Ralph Brown, 6 Wilde Court, Bowmanville, addressed Council on behalf of
residents of Wilde Court with respect to parking in that area. Mr. Brown stated
that because of the configuration of Wilde Court, there is not sufficient room for
the residents' visitors to park. Accordingly, the centre of the court has been used
as a parking area. Recently, parking tickets have been issued to these vehicles.
The residents are, therefore, requesting that the centre of Wilde Court be
officially marked as a parking area.

Dear Patti Barrie
Re; 1997 Budget Committee Meetit1,g Dates
At the 2 December 1996 Regular Board Meeting, the following Budget Committee
Meeting dates for 1997 were approved.
27 January, 18 February, 4, 19, 26 March, and 1,15,22,28 April 1997.
Due to the late arrival of Ministry of Education and Training funding
announcements, it is increasingly difficult to meet the 31 March deadline for the
requisitions to municipalities. However, the Board appreciates the timelines for the
distnbution of tax notices and, certainly every effort will be made to prepare the
requisitions as early as possible.
Presentations to the Committee are welcome at any time; however, the 27 January
1997 Meeting is specifically designated as an evening for community-wide input.
The school System presentations and New Initiatives will be part of the agenda for
the 18 February 1997 Committee Meeting.
As in previous years, the meetings will be held at the Board Office in Cobourg and
are open to the public. The annual budget process provides an opportunity to hear
first-hand the issues facing the Board in fulfilling its mandate of providing quality
education to its students, while being fiscally responsible to its ratepayers. This
information can generate opportunities for the sharing of creative ideas and
concepts to the benefit of students, parents, and ratepayers.
We look forward to your attendance at our upcoming Budget Committee Meetings,
Sincerely
~C~~

WHO DOES WHAT
Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, the Hon. AI Leach,
announced today that new government roles and responsibilities
implemented through the Who Does What exercise will make the
provincial and municipal levels of government work better for the
people they serve.
Savings to taxpayers Ontario taxpayers can expect better services at a lower
overall cost through the e1imination of overlap and duplication and waste of taxpayers'
money.
Increased ACCQuntability By dividing responsibilities among local and provincial
levels of government in ways that make sense, taxpayers will now know which level of
govenunent to hold accountable.
SIGNIFICANT REFORMS TO ONTARIO'S EDUCATION SYSTEM
Minister of Education and Training, John Snobelen, today announced
significant reforms to Ontario's education system that will enhance
student performance while cutting bureaucratic waste and duplicalion.
Savings to taxpayers Ontario taxpayers wiIl no longer bear the burden of funding
education on their propeny tax bills under this new reform package. Residential
ta'qlayers can no longer afford to pay for spiralling costs of school boards. Funding
will be taken over by the province.
Reduced bureaucracy Resources will be refocused where they belong--on the
individual smdent and teaCher in lhe classroom. Administration will be streamlined by
cutting the number of school boards in Ontario from half-from 166 to 66 - and the
number of ttustees by two-thirds, from almost 1,900 to 700. Trustees will no longer
receive what can be the equivalent of a full-time salary. Instead, school boards will
have the option of providing trnstees with an honorarium of up to $5,000 a year.
Improved accountability In furore, every school will be required to have an
advisory school council The Ministry will publish annual reports that allqw.parents.IO -

Who Does What
WOW #5
January 14, 1997
NEW PLAN FOR SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY HEAI,TH SERVICES
Minister of Community and Social Services, Janet Ecker, today
announced a new plan for social and community health services that will
provide higher quality services at less cost to the tali:payer.
Savings to Taxpayers The province and municipalities will equally share the cost of
welfare funding, and taxpayers will then share in the savings resulting from the
government's rednction of welfare benefits, work for welfare and its crackdown on frand
and abuse. The cost of child care and long-term care will also be shared on a SO/50 basis,
as well. Municipalities will assume full funding of public health programs, land
ambulance services and social honsing. The province will be responsible for full funding
of the Children's Aid Society and women's shelters.
Reduced Bureaucracy Integrating the delivery of social, community health and
housing programs at the municipal level will be more efficient and less costly. The
province will main1a;n standards and will retain tesponsibiHty for programs with a
province-wide reach, such as disease control, immunization, air ambulances. The
creation of a new Long Term Agency, to coordinate tbe long term care system, will also
be the responsibility of the province.
.
Improved Accountability The province and the municipalities will work more
closely together to better determine the social, community health and housing needs of
local communities, while achieving savings for the taxpayers through a shnplified and
integrated program delivery system. The province remains committed to maintaining
health care spending at $17.4 billion level The province will also establish a Municipal
Socw. Assistance Reserve as a safeguard against unforseen local economic circumstances
and make an initial contribution to the fund of $700 million.
.
.
.
CHANGRS TO POLlCE SERVICES ACT
e revisions will also provide flexibility in meeting current and future needs for
. cing. Decisions will now be made at the local level- where local needs are best
un erstood and where local officials are accountable.

Today's announcements, as outlined below, are further evidence of the
Harris government's commitment to eliminate duplication and overlap
between the provincial and municipal levels of governments, therefore
contributing to better services at the lowest cost, saving taxpayers money.
Tran~portation
Municipalitie.~ will take full responsibility for their uanllportation services since local
governments are best able to deliver and respond to local transportation needs.
With education being taken off the property tax bill ($5.4 billion), mnnicipalities will be
able to take full responsibility for highways that primanly handle local traffic, as well as
ferries. GO Transit, municipal transit and municipal airports.
The provincial government will continue to be responsible for the provincial highway
network and highways in sparsely-populated areas. It will also honour all current one-
time contract ob/iglltions for capital projects and will continue to suppon provincial
airports in remote Northern Ontario communities.
WaterlSewalte/Seotic
.
Municipalities (''UTrently own 75% of Ontario's water and sewage f<lcilities. The province
is transferring the remaining 25% ownership to municipalities, and will, instead, focus its
efforts on setting and enforcing high perfonnance standards for the operation of water
and sewage treatment plants. These changes will result in beltl:r management, clarified
rules and a better long-term outlook for Ontario's water and sewage system.
Septic systems are a local service, most appropriately delivered by municipal
governments. The province will continue to have tough 1111es for septic system
installation and operation to protect public health and the environment.
.
.
.
.
.
Provincial Offences Act (POA)
.
Amendments to this Act will mean that municipalities will have a RtrQngel" role in
enforcing certain laws,.!Ilostly traffic and parking offences. This willlllso create a new
revenuc< s~\!ICe for municipalities, up to net $40 million, even after costs of the transfer
and Victim Fine Surcharge are taken into account. The province will fo(,"Us resources on

removed. Municipalities will be able to structure govcnUng boards as they choose.
Although provincial operating grants to libraries will be phased out over a period of time,
the province will continue to support the province-wide library network through policy,
strategic funding and partnerships.

Dear Mr. Taylor:
Thank you for your letter of November 26, 1996 advising of
council's endorsement of the recent Region of Durham resolution
supporting the MTO's Highway 407 Partial Extension and Highway
407 East projects.
The Ministry of Transportation is presently completing the
environmental assessment for the Highway 407 Partial Extension
from Markham Road to the Brock Road/Highway 7 area, and
anticipates submission to the Ministry of Environment and Energy
in early 1997. In addition, the MTO is now preparing to complete
the Highway 407 East Environmental Assessment and Transportation
Planning Study. This study is for that section of Highway 407
east of Brock Road to Highway 35/115, including the two links to
Highway 401. The ministry expects to retain a private sector
partner in the coming year to complete this necessary Highway 407
East work.
I would like to thank the Township of Uxbridge for its expression
of ongoing support of the Highway 407 East projects

Who Does What
What's Next?
MWMCIPALlTI' Of CLARINGTON
MAYOR'S OFFICE
SubjeCt to passage of new legislation. the government intends to have the major changes in roles
and responsibilities in place by January I. 1998, when the new municipal councils begin their work
following the 1997 municipal elections. The transition period for some of the major reforms. such
as welfare and social housing, will be longer. stretching into the year 2000,
Legislation
These changes will require a number oflegislative changes. The Better Local Government Act,
for example. has already been passed.
Amendments to the Development Charges ACt. a new Fire Services Act, and legislation to reform
the governments of Toronto were introduced in the fall legislative session and are currently before
the legislature
In 19":. the government is introducing legislation to: facilitate broader public sector
restructuring, and permit local government reform; improve the education system; reform the
welfare system. including requiring mandatory work for welfare; give municipalities responsibility
for social housing, reform police finance and governance; fix the assessment and propeny tax
system: give municipalities responsibility for assessment delivery; make changes with respect to
sewer and water services and septic tank inspections: and give municipalities greater responsibility
for local library services. The government will also introduce a modern Municipal Act. intended
to be in place for 1998.
Other implementation issues
Smooth implementation of this streamlining of responsibilities will require far more than
legislati\'e changes.
To ensure a continued level of service, the province will work with the municipal sector to
establish delivery standards for the services being transferred to municipalities. It will develop
training programs for new delivery agents. along with service delivery guidelines. operating
procedures. audit practices and performance measures. New service delivery models will be
devei0l'ed.
2
In order to take on their new responsibilities, municipalities will need the time to determine what
kind of resources -- staffing and expertise -- they will need. They will need time to do any
necessary restructuring, to make sure they have the most cost effective structure to take on their
new responsibilities.
A special team of Provincial and Municipal representatives will be established to advise the
government on implementation and management issues relating to the new alignment of
responsibilities.
A new Community Reinvestment Strategy will mean that municipalities wiII have the resources
they need to take on their new responsibilities.
In Toronto, a board of trustees has been established to oversee financial decisions until a new
council is in place. A transition team is being established to ensure an orderly transition to the new
form of government.
Throughout this period of change, the province and the municipal sector will work together.
.~:
· Municipal input will be needed as decisions are made about how the reinvestment funds
will work. for example.
· A provincial-municipal Human Resources Implementation Team will advise on the
implementation of the new locally-based integrated system for meeting people's social
service. health and housing needs.
· A joint provincial-municipal group will monitor the progress of the province-wide
reassessment. making sure it is going smoothly, providing advice to the government and
making recommendations about the training municipalities wiII need to make tax policy
decisions based on the new assessment information.
· The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing will work with municipal associations to
help municipal clerks who will be running the 1997 municipal elections tor the first time
under new rules.
. The Ministry of Agriculture. Food and Rural Affairs wiII consult and provide advice on
ways to adjust to changes in rural communities brought about by the realignment of
responsibilities.
. The Ministry of the Solicitor General and Correctional Services wiII work with
municipalities to identify and implement new police governance arrangements.
. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing will work with municipalities on an orderly
transfer of responsibility tor social housing.
. .-\ transition commission will be established to oversee the implementation of education
rerorm.
. The municipal sector will work with the Ministry of Finance to determine how assessment
services should be delivered before responsibility is shifted from the province to
municipalities.
. The Ministry of Environment and Energy will work with municipalities to ensure a smooth
transition to full municipal responsibility for water and sewerage facilities.
· The Ministry of the Attorney General will work with municipalities on a staged transfer of
responsibilitv lor parts of the Provincial Offences Act beginning with selected
municipalities in 1997. The transfer is expected to be complete by 1999

Dear Colleague:
Thank you for your letter of December 3, 1996 and for the
enclosed resolutions from the Township of Clarington and the
City of Peterborough requesting that the newly expanded
Highway 416 from Ottawa to Prescott be named The Veterans
Parkway.
As you know, the naming of any provincial highway in
Ontario is ultimately the decision of the provincial government.
However, as Secretary of State for Veterans, I seek to ensure
that all veterans receive the recognition they deserve for their
service and sacrifice for Canada. I would therefore welcome any
decision by the Government of Ontario to rename Highway 416 in .
honour of Canada's veterans.

On November 18, my wife Elizabeth and I were invited to attend a dinner
with the Prime Minister and President Frei of Chile on the occasion of the signing
of the Free Trade Accord between our two countries. This invitation highlighted
the international role FCM plays as the voice of municipal governments. Four .
members from Quebec have economic and cultural links with Chilean cities
supported by the FCM International Office. The event provided an opportunitY
to speak with. several minist'ers informally on FCM .issues.

The National Board of Directors met in the City of Lachine, Quebec
(December 5-7). The efforts of the standing committees and task forces
underscored the tremendous work and commitment that are put forth on behalf
of the membership by all Board members.
On December 12, I made a presentation to the Joint Ministers Meeting on
the Environment and Energy in Toronto. This was the first time that FCM has
made a direct presentation to Federal/Provincial Ministers. I presented FCM .
positions regarding the role that municipal governments mUst play in reducing
greenhouse gas emissions. All' ministers were enthusiastic about FCM!s
presence.
I have been in constant communication with various flideral Cabinet
ministers on isSues affecting the Federation.
Comments from municipal councils'concerning my information letters
have been muchappreclated. Th,lnk you for your continued support and interest
in the work of FCM.
Our FCM staff continue to perform significant work on your behalf and
,they welcome. your calls :and comments.., 'Remember that our. web site
(www.fcm.ca)has important information for you;
Yours sincerely,.
P.S. To our 'delight 'the federal govemment lias confirmed its willingness to
contribute up to $600 million in municipal infrtistructurefunding for the 1997/98
construction season. $425ri1illion is new money. Thes1:rength of the campaign
mounted by FCM and . its meml;ters was a.significant factor and the federal
announcement can be regarded as a major success..

PROVINCE INTRODUCES BILL TO CONSOLIDATE PROCESSING OF
nCKETABLE OFFENCES AND PROVIDE MUNICIPALITIES WITH
INCREASED REVENUE
TORONTO, Jan. 15 ICNW/ - Attorney General Charles Hacnick took steps
today to eliminate waste and duplication and to consolidate the administrative
functions fo~ Provincial Offences, primarily ticketing offences. at one level
of government. He announced that the Provincial Offence. Act (POAl will be
amended to transfer administrative-and some prosecutorial functions for
ticketable offences and fines to municipalities.
Transfer of POA ticketing offences to municipalities was recommended by
the ~~Who Does What'l panel, chaired by David Crombi~.
'~Welre building on the successful tran6f~r of pa~king cickets to
municipalitle~ three years ago," said Mr~ Harnick. "That provided services
at a ~ower cost to the taxpayer, 'I he said, noting that 9S per cent of parking
tickets axe how handled by municipalities~
~~Transterring the remaining ticket type offence~, and associated
revenue, is the next logical step in the process. It brings all administrative
functions under one level of government and will strearnaine filing, scheduling
and payroent p:r:ocesses, 1-' Mr. Ha:cn1ck added.
The POA sets out the procedures to be followed for offences under
provincial statutes, municipal by-laws and certain federal laws. Part I covers
minor regulatory offences such as excessive noise, spitting and speeding; Part
II covers parking infractions; and Part III covers offences such as driving
while under suspension and chemical spills. The changes mean:
a~nistrative functions, prosecution and Cou=t support for Part I
tickets will be transferred to municipalities; and
all municipalities will a~nister their own Farking tickets;
only administrative functions for the more se=ious pa=t III offences
will be transferred to the municipalities.
The province will continue to prosecute Part III offences, which are
often more complex and can result in jail ~entences. It will also retain
responsibili~y for setting and monitoring standards for the administration of
justice in order to ensure uniform, fair and equal justice across Ontario.
Provincially appointed Justices of the Peace will coctinue to decide POA
cases.
Municipal responsibilities for meeting standards .....il1 be recognized in _____ __

GOVERNMENT INTRODUCES LEGISLATION TO AMEND THE PUBLIC
LIBRARIES ACT
TORONTO, Jan. 15 /CNW/ - With the int~oduction of the Local Concrol of
Public Libraries Act, 1997 the' government of Ontario moved to give local
governroent3 the legislated authority and responsibility to manage thei~
library service.
"This new Act will both improve che delivery of library 3ervic@s to the
people of Ontario and lower the cases for this service. Consistent with the
recommendations of the Who Does What panel, the new Act removes unnecessary
restrictions on local decision-making," said Marilyn'Mushinski, Minister of
C~tizenship, Culture and Recreation. "This new Act will strengthen and
safeguard our library system and will help ensure that Ontario's libraries
continue to playa central rule in the lives of Ontarians."
Under the new Act, libraries will be governed by boards appointed by
municipal councils~ Th~ new library framework, comprised of changes to the
Public Libraries Act and n@w regulation under the Municipal Act, guarantees
free access to libraries, free use of materials in libraries, free borrowing
of printed mate4iala by resid~nts, and free borrowing of special format
materials for residents with disabilities.
"Municipalities currently provide the major portion of library fundinq,
so it make~ sense for elected ~unicipal officials to have the authority and
responsibility to manage and fund the libra4Y resources in their
communities," said Minister Mushinski. "We believe municipalities will make
the right decisions."
The p40vince will continue to support the library system through
partnerships, policy and funding of the province-wide network of shared
resources, co-operative services and telecommunications links that connect
Ontario's public libraries to each oeher and to global info~tion networks.
'.Our libraries play an indispensable role in the education of people of
all ages and abilities," said Mini$ter Mushinski when introducing the
legislation. "Libraries make a significant contribution to the well-educated
work force, which is one of Ontario's greatest economic strengthsa"

Re: Heritage Community Recognition Program
Dear Mayor Hamre:
Earlier this fall, the Ontario Heritage Foundation (OHF) was pleased to announce the names of 134
individuals honoured under its new Heritage Community Recognition Program.
While your municipality did not participate in the program, I thought you might be interested in
hearing how successful the program was in its first year. In addition, I hope that you'll consider
participating next year.
In supporting the program, municipalities can further demonstrate a commitment to conserve local
heritage. Among the participants this year, most municipalities held presentation events which also
received excellent local media coverage under the program. In our estimation, the first year of the
program was a success, largely because the program truly does honour heritage achievers in local
municipalities like yours.
To promote the program, the Foundation distributed news releases throughout the province and also
publicized the program in its newsletter, Heritage Matters. A copy of Heritage Matters is attached for
your information. Please see page 3 for a listing of all the individuals honoured in this, the inaugural
year for the program. The Foundation will be further promoting the program when it distributes a
poster across the province during Heritage Week in February 1997. The poster will showcase a
representati,-e selection from among the 134 who were honoured. I will ensure that your office is on
our mailing list for the poster as well for future editions of Heritage Matters and other Foundation
information_
For your information, the Foundation will be announcing year two of the program during Heritage
Week in February, 1997. I hope that your municipality will consider participation in the program by
. nominating another member of your community who exemplifies heritage conservation in the areas of
built, natural and cultural heritage. r. Di5~UTIO"

near a hydro right-of-way. It was, she said

WHAT IS A FOUNDATION HERITAGE
CONSERVATION EASEMENT?
A heritage conservation easemenl agreement with the Ontario Heritage
Foundation is a voluntary legal agreement designed to protect the
heritage features of any type of real property including historic buildings
and bridges, natural heritage properties, and archaeological sites.
An easement donation to the Foundation can provide tax benefits to the
donor. Where an offer of an easement donation has been accepted by
the Foundation, a receipt for income tax purposes may be issued.
An easement agreement recognizes the owner"s desire to conserve the
heritage character of the site, and sets up a process of meaningful con-
sultation between the owner and the Foundation to encourage long-term
sympathetic stewardship of the property. Once signed and registered on
title, the heritage conservation easement runs with the land, binding the
present and all future owners.
Using easements as a conservation tool benefits everyone involved. The
owner retains title and use of the property, and the Foundation is not bur-
dened with the large financial commitment often associated with outright
acquisition.
Currently, the Foundation holds easements on 165 properties throughout
the province, comprised o!three archaeological sites, five bridges, 11
natural heritage sites and 146 buildings. To find out how the Foundation's
heritage conservation easement program can protectthe heritage
features of your provincially significant property, contact Jeremy Collins,
Co-ordinator of Acquisitions and Dispositions for the Foundation, at
14161325-5017.

l
SIX PROVINCIAL PLAQUES UNVEILED
With the warmer weather came the unveiling of six Foundation Provincial
Plaques across the province. In its 40th year of existence, the Provincial
Plaque Program commemorates people, places, events, sites and struc-
tures of importance to the heritage of Ontario,
On July 20, the Foundation unveiled a plaque commemorating the
Japanese-Canadian Road Camps in Schreiber and Jackfish during the
Second World War. Pictured above in front of the plaque are three

Reesor Siding Incident the Ukrainian Internment Camps in Kapuskasing,
the White Otter Castle in Atikokan, and Barberton, an early industrial site
in Streetsville,
On September 9,1996, the Foundation learned of
the death of John White.
Mr. White was the third Chairman of the Ontario
Heritage Foundation, serving from 1981 to 1986.
Mr, White was Conservative MPP for London
South for 16 years until 1974, During his political
career, he was provincial treasurer, minister of
revenue, minister of colleges and universities,
minister of trade and developmenl and minister
of tourism and information in the cabinets of the

William Davis.
During his term as Chairman, Mr, White was
instrumental in the acquisition of several
Foundation properties, Among them were the
Birkbeck Building, (now the Ontario Heritage
Centrel and the Elgin and Winter Garden
Theatre Centre, both National Historic Sites.
Mr. White spearheaded the fund raising
campaign for the Ontario Heritage Centre,
raising approximately 51 million to restore the
building. The 'John White Hall' in the Centre
was named to honour his leadership.
Among his other accomplishments, Mr. White
played a key role in the founding of the Natural
Heritage League, and became its first Chair in
1985. He also chaired the first two provincial
LACAC (Local Architectural Conservation
Advisory Committeel conferences in 1982 and
1983.
Upon retiring from the Board of Directors of the

THE JACQUES & HAV CO. DRAWING ROOM SUITE AT SPADINA
By Gabriella Karadi, Curator. Spad;na
When businessman and financier James
Austin and his wife Susan completed
Spadina in 1666, they purchased an
extensive drawing room suite from the
furniture showroom of the Jacques & Hay
Co. in Toronto.
In addition to an etagere and two over.
mantel mirrors, the suite included a cen-
tre ottoman, two recamier couches, two
'demi.lune' settees, two bustle chairs,
two footstools and three pairs of drawing
room chairs.
Drawing room and parlour suites had
been fashionable since the 1840s.ln
Spadina's handsomely proportioned
drawing room, the carefully selected and
formally arranged furniture clearly
reflected the Austins' desire for both
comfort and elegance.
The ottoman or 'conversational' was
placed to best advantage in the centre of the room, since its oval shape
and upholstered compartments allowed seating on all four sides. This
form of seating had been developed from cushion-covered Turkish
benches, and was often found in the spacious drawing rooms of the
.well-to-do:
The recamier couch was first made fashionable for lounging or reclining
by M~ Juliette Recamier in the late 16th century. At Spadina, the
recamier couches were used for sitting and placed at each end of the
drawing room, creating 2 balance in the overall arrangement of the
room's furniture.
A 'demilune' settee was also located by each bay window and could
comfortably seat two persons. Its unusual design was indicative of the
Victorians' love of the fanciful and was perhaps intended to be more dec-
orative than practical.
The elongated form of the bustle chairs was designed to accommodate
the crinoline or bustle of a Victorian lady's voluminous gown.
And finally, the overstufied footstools and the graceful drawing room
chairs were pieces tha, ~ould be easily moved to allow for flexibility on
social occasions.
The Austin family acquired most of their furnishings from the Jacques &
Hay Co. By 1867, the COlilJlany was the largest furniture manufacturer in
Canada. Although the Icc1Dry also produced simple furniture for the mass
market it was best known for its high quality merchandise and
prestigious commissions.
The Spadina drawing room suite was likely assembled through a special
Older. The pieces were machine.made from black walnut in the
Renaissance Revival stvIe, and decorated with incised and gilded lines

They were upholstered in a red and gold striped wool rep la ribbed
weave).
After 1670, the firm became known as R. Hay & Co., and as Charles I
Rogers & Sons Co. from 1885 until 1922.
The drawing room suite is part of an important collection of Jacques &
Hay Co. furniture which had been acquired by the Austins over two gen- I
erations. They have been preserved at Spadina, along with other furnish-
ings and works of art through the foresight and generosity of the Austin
family. They reflect the changing tastes and styles during the Victorian I
era, and document the excellence of Canadian design and craftsmanship.
Spadina is located at 265 Spadina Road in Toronto. The property and fur-
nishings were acquired jointly by the Ontario Heritage Foundation and the I
City of Toronto in 1978. Spadina is currently operated by the Toronto
Historical Board as an historic house museum.

SUMMER STUDENTS MAKE SITE VISITS
Funding from the Ministry of Environment and Energy's Environmental Youth Corps and the Provincial Government's Summer Experience Programs
allowed the Foundation to hire three Ryerson Polytechnic University students for the summer.
During the months of July and August, Linda Russell and Mercilyn Baxter
assisted in monitoring the Foundation's 37 natural heritage properties,
totalling over 5,000 acres. This work included searching out air
photographs, ecological inventories and other applicable information. "The
re-organized natural heritage property files will make finding maps and key
resource information easier and faster," said Ms. Russell.
In addition to working from the Foundation's head office in Toronto, the stu-
dents also went on site visits and met with Foundation property custodians.
"The site visits were very informative and interesting; said Ms. Baxter.
'They gave our work a physical dimension."
Sarah Elliott's seven weeks with the Foundation began at the end of July.
Her work focussed on monitoring the Foundation's heritage conservation
easement properties. It also included site visits to a number of lhe proper-
ties located across the province.
"My summer experience at the Foundation broadened my knowledge of for-
mer construction methods and adaptive re-use of historic properties,. said
Ms. Elliott. "The combination of office work and site visits gave me the
opportunity to meet a variety of interesting and friendly people:

reason for flat rate is usage of room is more than 3 hours charged in past. Their set
up is at noon which means no can use room for the afternoon This is costing hall
potential revenue. A. Pearce said they could probably afl"ord an increase of25.00.
Board will take this under consideration and report back to Seniors group.

Newcastle. Ontario LIB 1M3
November 19. 1996
Newcastle Community Hall Board
20 King Street West
Newcaslle. Ontario. Ll B IJ6
Attcnlion: Ms. Cathy Abraham- Chairpcrson
Dear Cathy:
I have received onr lease contract for the 1997. and I do have a concern. The concern does not center
around the 2% increase to our rent. but rather the inequity of the rates being charged to yonr long term
tenants.
For the information of those of your board members who may not be aware of it- Newea.t1e Famil)'
Connection i. a non-profit dnly regi.tered charitable organil.ation. This means that we arc not a
business. but rather a service to the community. The community we serve arc families with young
children. Revenue Canada has recognized that the services we provide arc charitable in nature and have
authorized us to issue tax receipts for charitable donations which are made to our organization. We do
not receive any I,ro,incial or federal grants to prmide these sen'ices. We do receivc an ever
decreasing small grant from the Municipality ($1000.00 in 1996). In fact. the Municipality first approved
us for a grant in order to assist us with the rental payments for the space we use, because they recognized
that we were prm.iding a service to the community. Yes. we do charge those members who can afford it. a
membership fee. However this fee ($50.00Iyear) comes no where close to covering the actual cost of the
program ($256.00/family). The balance of the funds have to come from fund-raising. Something we
which are constantly doing. There are some 420 family resource centres in Ontario. Of this number 180
are fully funded by the province( and make the service available to families free of charge) and the rest
receive no support. In Clarington there are no other programs offering the full range of services which we
do pro\'ide. In fact we have families coming from all over Claringtonto use of our services (Courtice.
Hampton. Bowmanville. Tyrone. Orono and NCMonville). The number of families using our services
gro\\S every ycar- we currently have about 60 Camilies \'isiting liS. We do have one paid staff member (16
hours per week) who runs the drop-in program for us. Based on our past c:xpcricnccs- if you arc going to
00(:[ a quality program you cannol rely on volunteers to consistentl)' design and implement that program.
You must have an cxpcricnccd individual who will be there at all times. We do however still rcly heavily
on \oluntcers to assist not only with the daily chores involved in running the program. but also in running
our to)' and resource lending libraries. as well as assisting with all of fund raising events and projects.
OUT Board is of course volunteer, and not only do they volunteer their time. they volunteer most or their
cypcnses associated with their board duties - travel. telephone. office supplies. etc..
Bearing all of the above in mind- I find it difficult to understand why we arc asked to pay $204.00 per
month for three davs usage/week of the East Room. plus all the extra cosls (office $51.00. Youth Room
$InOO/day) when organizations such as the Historical Society pay $50.00 per monlh for unlimited usage
and control. and the Lions pay $125.00Imonth for unlimited usage and control of their space.
It appears to me that in effect Newcastle Family Connection is being called upon to subsidize the
Community HaWs other tenants, as well as to have to fund-raise for the Community Hall (in view of the
decreased amount of Municipal Grant we receive) . To summarize- we object!
///
I
In order to reduce, and eventually clilllinatc. this inequity it is our recommendation that \\'C not have to
pay for the use of the Youth Room on Tuesday and Thursdm"s and that the charge for the office space
(our Toy Libra,,) be $51.00 eve". two months. In clfeet we would be paying $229.50 per month which is
still considerably more than your other long term lCtwnlS.
I
I do ha\'e a concern abeut some of the members of your Board and potenLial connict situations You
currently have t,\'O members of your Bo:ud \vho arc Lions members and onc member of your Board who is
a member of the Historical Society. I trust that given their affiliation wilh these organizations. and the
fact Lhat your Hall Board is responsible for setting rental rates for their organil.ations. that in fact they do
not take part or have any role in the decisions that are made wiLh regard to rates for any tenants in the
building. I would like some assurances that this is the case.
I
I
My last question refers to item (6) of the contract '.That the Board shall supply heat.lighl. and caretaking
sen';ces ...". What e,actly is meant by the caretaking services" Are we to continue to swcep and damp
mop our noor, take out our garbage (and supplies bags for same) and clean our washroom. or arc these
serv'iees that your caretaker should be carrying out" If your carct.1ker is to be doing these things. when
will he start to do so'! We would hate to not take out the garbage only to lind out that it is being left there
for Small Miracles to dispose of the following day. We await your advice on this matter.
I
I
Finally. a copy of this letter is being sent to mayor Hamre. David Scott and Anne Drcslinski because of the
implications for our grant request. as well because the Municipality docs in fact own the Community Hall
and it seems to us that they should have some say in how rental rates arc being addressed by your Board.
I
I
I await your response.
Sincerely.

ADVANTAGES FOR A NEW BAR/J'OOLSHED EXTENSION
I. Damage will be eliminated on the dance floor with a permanent bar set
up. Less clean up for pop and ice spillage.
2. Damage will be eliminated on the carpeted steps and floor as there will be
no need to move the bar to top level.
3. Hall floors have extensive water and wear damage from supplies going to
and from the kitchen. Caters and people renting the facilities presently bring
food, pop and garbage across the hardwood floors. With the new extension
everything coming into the building would enter by the west side where they
are used.
4. With a new extension and an asphalted area on the west side:
a) The food can be brought to the proper area
b) The pop can be set up as a fountain instead of bottles.
c) The bar supplies can be at the back door - beer cases can be easily
unloaded.
d) The garbage containers can be at the back of the haJl out of sight
and be close to the kitchen where all the garbage is produced.

Province Announces Assessment and
Property Tax Reform
THE ISSUE:
Finance Minister, Ernie Eves. today introduced changes to Ontario's system of assessment and tax policy
with the Fair Municipal Finance Act, 1997. The legislation wil/astablish a new assessment and property tax
policy system based on "current" values. It also streamlines and simplifies the appeal process. The
legislation also eliminates the $1.6 billion Business Occupancy Tax (BOT) and the $171 million Farm Tax
Rebate. Assessment delivery wili be returned 10 the municipal sector. Changes wili be effective January
1,1998.
THE FACTS:
Property wili be assessed to reflect "current" value in current use. The update of property values is already
underway and the Minister has cornmilledto its completion in time for 1998. The reassessment will be
based on 1996 values with regular updates and three year rolling averages to moderate changes from year
to year.
The Province is planning to establish new tax rate (mill rate) ranges for different property classes. In
accordance with recommendations from the Who Does What Panel. municipal councils will not be forced to
adjust the relative tax burdens amongst property classes. However, if they wish to do so, change will have
to bring new tax rates toward the new provincial ranges. Those new ranges have not yet been determined.
There was no indication in today's announcement as to a division of tax policy authority between upper and
lower-tier governments. Councils will also have the option of phasing in assessment changes for up to eight
years.
The Province will establish standard property ciasses for residential. mu~i-residential, commercial, industrial,
and farmland and managed forests. The new farm land and managed forest property class will be taxed at
a rate of 25% of the residential tax rate. Municipalities will have the option of adding additional property
classes for new apartment buildings and for small retail properties. The announcement also noted that
municipalities will have the option to "defer" taxes for low-income seniors and people with disabilities.
The new legislation will establish a restructured Assessment Review Board (ARB) as a single tier appeal
body. The OMS will no longer have a role in assessment appeals. Decisions of th~ new ARB will be final.
The deadline for assessment appeals wili be expanded to 60 days in 1998 and 90 days thereafter in order
to allow for alternative solutions.

Province Announces Assessment and Properly Tax Reform
Currently in Ontario, the Business Occupancy Tax (BOT) accounts for $1.6 billion in municipal revenues.
Although the BOT will be eliminated, municipalities will have the authority to recoup these revenues either
within the commercial and Industrial property classes or across all property classes.
The Who Does What Panel recommended that the Province's $171 million Farm Tax Rebate program be
preserved at its current rate. In spite of that advice, the Province has decided to eliminate this rebale and
to impose the cost of the farm subsidies on municipalities. The mechanism for this is the new farm land and
managed forest properly class taxed at 25% of the residential rate. The scheme will cost municipalities $171
million for farm subsidies and another S8 million for managed forests and conservation lands. Conservations
lands will be tax exempt.
Minister Eves slated that the Government "will return delivery of tax assessments to the iocallevel as of
January 1, 1998." He went on to say that his Minislry will be consulting with the municipal sector on the
implementation of this change. The cost of assessment delivery is estimated to be between $120 million and
$140 million annually,
ACTION:
AMO has expressed to the Government in the strongest possible terms that asking municipalities to pay for
the Province's fann subsidy program Is unacceptable, and that its decision may seriously hann the economic
stability of rural municipalities. AMO will continue to press the Government for a detailed accounting 01 new
municipal funding responsibilities, The Association has also commented that the success of the
Government's assessment and property tax reforms will be pivotal to the stability of municipal revenue
needed for new funding responsibilities,
AMO will analyze the new legislation for impacts on municipalities and make presentations during Standing
Committee hearings. AMO has informed Ministry of Finance officials 01 the need for a comprehensive
communications and education strategy to inform property tax payers and municipal councils of changes to
the assessment and property tax system.

All of this information and more is available on the Municom Network,

PROVINCE RELEASES FIGURES ON
OVERALL FINANCIAL IMPACTS OF WHO DOES WHAT
ISSUE:
The Govemment has released its figures for the overall financial picture of its Who Does What
(WDW) iniliatives announced this week.
THE FACTS:
The current amount of residential property tax that goes to school boards is $5.4 billion. The
Province has stated that those costs would have escalated to $6.2 billion by the year 2000.
Effective January 1, 1998, no residential property taxes will be used for education financing
purposes.
In addition to $5.4 billion in "savings" for municipalilies, the Province has committed to a permanent
$1.0 billion Community Reinvestment Fund "to ensure that special community needs are met."
From the Province's perspective, this means that the municipal sector is equipped to take on as
much as $6.4 billion in new costs.
Ministry of Finance has released figures that provide a "simulated impact" 01 the overall picture of
trade-ofls. (MMAH is forwarding copies to all municipalities.) According to the document, the
1996/97 cost of the service responsibilities shifted to municipalities is $6.355 billion - a difference
of $45 million. Notably, the cost of Provincial highway transfers is not indicated in the
Government's figures.
The document also notes that the Province will be establishing the Municipal Social Assistance
Reserve Fund with initial funding of $700 million. In a speech today to the Kitchener-Waterloo
Ghamber 0'/ (;ommerce, MInister ot education, John tinObelen, said the fund was established to,
"safeguard against unforseen local economic circumstances". The document also notes that the
Province will invest $250 million this year as the "first installment" of the four-year, $800 million
Municipal Capital and Operating Restructuring Fund. The Municipal Support Program ($666
million) will be discontinued after 1997.

Municipal Alert: Province Releases Figures On Overall Financial Impacts Of '.'Vho Does What
Minister Snobelen also stated that, "a special team of provincial and municipal representatives will
be established to advise the Government on implementation and management issues relating to
the new alignment of responsibilities,"
Over the longer-term, the Province projects that the cost of new municipal program responsibilities
will grow to $6.5 billion in 1999 and $6.7 billion in 2000 as long-term care costs increase. According
to the Province's projections, however, growth in education savings, coupled with 1.9% annual
"expenditure efficiencies" and a 2% annual decline in welfare costs, will result in net savings to
municipalities of $0.8 billion in 1999 and $1.5 billion in 2000. The Finance Minister's suggestion
that municipalities could reduce property taxes by 10% by the year 2000 is based on these figures.
ACTION:
AMO will pursue documentation which supports the Govemment's figures. AMO has informed the
Government that its statements regarding possible property tax reductions as a result of this
process are unsubstantiated and InapproprIate.
The Association will continue to press the Govemment for information about the impacts on
individual municipalities, and additional details on the Government's mitigalion strategies. AMO
will be seeking direct involvement, on behalf of its membership, in implementation planning for
1998 to insure that the interests of municipalities and property tax payers are safeguarded.

Municipal Alert:
Province Announces Directions For Health And Social Services
ACTION:
The Issue of weltare cost sharing continues to be a concem for municipalities. AMO believes that it is in both
the provincial and municipal Interest to ensure that municipalities are financially able to meet their new
responsibilities without having to resort to property tax increases, AMO has pressed the Government to
guarantee that municipalities will be protected against potenlial cost increases associated with funding health
and social service programs.
Minister Ecker indicated that province-wide standards will be applied to these health and Social service
programs. AMO will press the Government to ensure that mUnicipalities receive appropriate "say" in relation
to their new funding responsibilities and to ensure thaI delivery and management of services allows for local
flexibility In responding to local conditions.
The Province is currently in the process of negotiating with the Federal Government regarding the Federal
role in administering and funding social housing prior to transferring responsibility to municipalities. AMO has
concerns regarding the protection of municipal inlerests in these negotiations and will seek a municipal role
in this process. given the Province's decisions to transfer responsibility for social housing to municipalities.
AMO has serious concems regarding the proposed management structure for long-term care services. The
creation of an unaccountable body to manage services Which are funded 50% by municipalities is
unacceptable to muniCipalities and contrary to the Government's stated goal of developing clear lines of
accountability lor services in Ontario. The proposed Long-Term Care Agency will have decision. making
authority for municipally-funded services without the direct involvement of municipal elected officials who are
accountable to local taxpayers.
AMO's President and Board of Directors will take up these Issues with the affected Ministers and will keep
members apprised of any progress.
AMO will monitor further announcements and analyse Ihe overall impacts 01 the Government's decisions on
municipalities.

For Immediate Attention
Municipalities To Control Police Service Budgets
THE ISSUE:
Solicitor General, Robert Runciman, tOday announced amendments to the Police Services Act.
THE FACTS:
>- GOVERNANCE
Police service boards will remain as the governing authority of pOlice services. The number of
members will remain the same, but the appointment authority will be changed. Municipalities
will now be permitted to appoint the majority of representatives, with the Province retaining a
minority of appointments In addition to the existing municipal council represenlalive(s), a
community representative will also be appointed.
For years, AMO has consistently lobbied for greater municipal control and accountability over
pOlice service boards arguing that Municipal G01femments are accountable for the quality of
policing in our communities, not unelected police service boards. Amendments today provide
municipalities with the authority to set police budgets with police services boards being
responsible for allocating funds and administering the budget.. The Province has finally heard
AMO's longstanding call for .pay for say" in keeping with our $1.5 billion contribution.
The legislation continues to recognize the Ontario Civilian Commission on Police Services
(OCCPS) as the appeal mechanism for adequacy and budget decisions. The Province will be
developing adequacy standards by regulation. AMO has been advised that there is a provincial
interest in defining a level of minimum, prOVince-wide standards, and that discussions on these
standards will be held on a government-to-govemment basis.

Municip'11 Alert:
MuniCioalities To Control Police Services BudGets
,.. EQUITABLE FINANCING
With today's proposed amendments, the Govemment has indicated that all municipalities will
be responsible for directly contributing to the costs of policing in their community as of January
1, 1998. How these costs will be recovered is yet to be determined. The Crombie Panel
estimated $183 million annually as the total amount to be transferred. Further information on
the time and manner in which payments are to be made will be prescribed in regulation.
Amendments have also been proposed which will allow for the recovery of costs for investigative
services and support services provided by the OPP. The recovery of these costs will be
considered on a case by case basis and will be at the discretion of ' the Solicitor General.
AMO argued for a gradual phasing in of this new financial arrangement to ensure that a
cumulative impact analysis of police services was considered with the numerous other changes
within the municipal sector. The Association will continue to press the Province to provide
alternative revenue sources for mUnicipalities (e.g. public offences) to offset this new financial
responsibility.
ACTION:
v.
AMO will continue to monitor the issue and will provide further input to the Government as the Bill
moves through the Standing Committee hearings process. The timing of these hearings is still
uncertain, but AMO will be sure to inform its membership as more information becomes available.
The Association will also provide input to the Govemment as it moves forward in the development
of the regulations.

Association of Municipalities of Ontario
January 15,1997

To the Head and Members of Council:
I
I
I
As we reach the halfway point in what the provincial government has called "Mega Week",
municipalities arc beginning to ask two important questions - "Is this a good deal or a bad deal for
municipalities?" and "What action will the association bc taking in response to the Province's TIlany
announcements?"
I
I
I
.
I
I
I
.'
I
I
.
In response to the first question, it is impossible to know what the bOllom line will be in tenns of the
financiat impact on Ontario's municipalities until the end of the week, when Al Leach, Minister of
Municipal Affairs and Housing, will announce the final portion of the Province's loeat government
reform package. We do know that several of the lI1lnouncements made so far, such as getting $5.4
billion in education costs off the property tax base, giving municipalities majority representation on
police services boards, and giving the Province complete financial responsibility for Children's Aid
Societies and women's shelter, reflect longstanding municipal positions and arc good news for
municipalities. Other changes, including the new cost-sharing formula for social assistance. the new
cost-sharing fonnula and funding allocation mechanism for long term care, the devolution of social
housing to municipalities, and the Province's decision regarding highway transfers to municipalities.
are cause for grave eoneen!, and could have serious impacts on individual municipalities. The
association will be conducting a thorough analysis of the overall financial impacts of this week's
announcements as soon as all of the lI1lnouneements have been made, and pass the results pf that
analysis on to you. A.t~O will also continue to press the Province to release detailed financial
infomlation on each of the announced refonns, so that municipalities will be able to determine the
financial impact on their individual communities.
As for what AMO is doing in response to these announcements, perhaps I should first reiterate what
the association has been doing since the establishment of the Crombie Panel last spring. As I'm sure
you are aware, AMO wa.s not given the opportunity to appoint any representatives to the Panel.
However, the association demanded the right to appoint senior municipal staff representatives a.~
advisors to each of the sub-panels established as part of the "Who Does What" process. The
Province agreed to those appointments, and those municipal representatives were instrumental in
sculpting the recommendations made by the Crombie Panel. Those recommendations. if
implemented, would have resulted in the municipal sector achieving a number of longstanding
objectives, including the removal of education. social assistance and health financing from the
property tax ba.se. Unfortunately, the Province was not willing to accept those recommendations.
because they would have resulted in a significant increase in overall Provincial expenditures. Having
been made aware of the Province's position during the course of the Panel's deliberations, AMO
made it clear to the Province that the goal of moving education financing from the propetty tax base
was not a goal worth achieving at any cost, espeCially if that meant further entangling financial
accountability for social and health Services.

UnFortunately, becausc of the imparlance the Province has evidently attached to education reform,
it appears prepared to do just that. Many of the Province's announcements run completely counter
to long-accepted principles of provincial/municipal reform. The increase in the municipal share of
social alsistance to 50 per cent and the new long-term care funding system in particular are directly
contrary to the generally accepted plinciplcs that properly taxcs should be used to fund services to
property, and that changes in program financing should strengthen - not weaken - local
accountability.

Provincial Offences To Be Transferred To
The Municipal Sector
THE ISSUE:
The Province will amend the Provincial Offences Act to permit the transfer of the administration
and the prosecution of some offences to willing municipal participants. 100% of the net revenues
would be retained by the municipalities that take on the function.
THE FACTS:
The administration, court support and prosecution of both Part I and II offences and the
administration of Part '" offences will be done at the municipal level. Part I offences are regulatory
ticket offences with a set fine, such as those issued under the Highway Traffic Act or the Liquor
Licencing Act. Parking offences (Part II offences) are already being administered by a number of
municipalities and the Province hopes to complete its transfer. Only the administration aspect of
Part III offences which are more serious offences requiring court appearances will be part of the
transfer.
The Province will continue to be responsible for prosecuting Part III offences and setting standards
and monitoring justice to ensure fair and equal justice province-wide.
Crombie's recommendation indicated that potential net revenue ranges from $30 to $40 million
after the costs of administration, adjudication, prosecution and 15% Victim Fine Surcharge for the
Victim's Justice Fund. The range of net revenue is dependent on the volume of charges, payment
history and operating costs.
The Attomey-General is proposing a staged implementation process with transfers starting April
1 997 with completion by April 1999. Municipalities will be invited to participate in the transfer and
will need to meet selection criteria, including readiness and ability to meet provincial requirements
and standards. The operational and legal aspects of the transfer will be through Memorandum of
Understanding.

, Municipal Alert:
Provincial Offences To Be Transferred To The Municipal Sector
ACTION:
The transfer to willing municipal partners of the administratiorl and prosecution of other offences
is an opportunity to build on the successful transfer of parking offences. The municipal sector will
be looking for the t1exibility to manage and integrate the administrative component of this function
within its current municipal operations.
The potential for municipalities to acquire a new revenue source is welcomed. AMO is awaiting
further details concerning changes to the ProvinciaVMunicipal financial relationship which are
expected to be announced by the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Municipal Affairs and
Housing over the next two days.
As existing court facilities often serve more than one municipality, AMO will seek clarification that
a group of municipalities could have revenue-sharing agreements.
AMO will provide input to the Ministry of the Attomey General as it moves forward to implementing
the transfer and will keep its members informed as more details emerge.

Province Announces Major Changes for
Infrastructure Services in Ontario
THE ISSUE:
The govemment, today, introduced several pieces of legislation that transfer the responsibility for the delivery
and funding of certain infrastructure services.
FACTS: ON WATER AND SEWAGE TREATMENT FACILITIES
,.. Municipalities will receive full title of water and sewage treatment facilities held by the Ontario Clean
Water Agency (OCWA), Municipalities already own 75 per cent of the 937 water and sewage works In
Ontario. Through this Bill, the Province Is turning over the remaining 230 plants (or 25 per cent) to
municipalities.
,.. Municipalities will maintain their responsibility for outstanding debts, induding capital, related to any
transferred work until the Province Is fully paid. They would also continue to make debt and operating
payments to OCW A under the terms of their agreements.
,.. Any municipality that proposes to sell all or part of its water and sewage works to the private sector, must
first repay the face value of any provincial capital grants it has received since 1978.
,.. Within nine months of promulgation, area plans (water and sewage works which service more than one
municipality, and where serviced municipalities are jointiy responsible for the debts) will be transferred
to municipalities jointly, under a new municipal management structure. Municipalities may propose
altemative management and ownership arrangements within six months 01 receiving the proposed order.
,.. The Province will continue to set and enforce environmental health standards for the operation of water
and sewage treatment plants.
FACTS: ON PRIVATE SEPTIC SYSTEMS
,.. Starting on October 1,1997, municipalities or their agents will be responsible for the delivery of septic
system inspection and approvals program. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing will administer
the program in unorganized areas of the Province. In the interim, local authorities currently under contract
to the MOEE will continue to deliver the program. As part of their new responsibility, municipalities,
MMAH and their agents will also become accountable for complaints related to both new and existing
installations. Part VIII of the Environmental Protection Act is amended to effect these changes.
,.. The provincial subsidy for program delivery will end on September 30, 1997. Instead, municipalities will
be able to recover full cost of administering the program from service users (under recent amendments
to the Municipal AcQ.
,.. Municipalities and the MMAH must appoint approving authorities and inspectors, requiring proper training
and certification, to be prescribed through regulations in the Bill.
,.. Decisions of the Environmental Appeal Board regarding sewage systems will be final except for appeals
on mailers of law, which will still be directed to divisional courts.

Municipal Alert:
Province Announces Maior Changes For Infrastructure Services In Ontario
Action:
AMO Is concerned with certain provisions of the announcement which limit municipalities' ability to
take advantage of all management options once they assume ownership of facilities. For example,
the provision stipulating that all provincial grants must be repaid by the municipalities before part or
all of a system is to be privatized Is unacceptable to AMO. AMO has raised thus issue with the
government today and will continue to press for amendments in this area.
FACTS: ON PROVINCIAL HIGHWAYS
~ A turther transfer of provincial highways on an "as Is" basis is to occur on January 1, 1998. While the
amount and location of the transters have not been specified as yet, about 9000 kifometres of highways
(5,000 km in Northern Ontario; 4,000 km in Southern Ontario) are identified as serving primarily local
needs. A ministry official has indicated that approximately half of those highways will be transferred to
municipalities.
Action:
Transferring further provincial highways on as "as Is" basis is unacceptable and represents an
unwarranted capital and operating commitment for municipalities. AMO will press the government
to ensure that the highways to be transferred are either brought Into compliance with standards or
that specific financing is available to bring them into compliance. Otherwise, this is a transfer of a
provincial unfunded liability. The last transfer of about 1700 kilometres required $60 million to bring
the highways up to standards, an amount thatlhe Province finally agreed was their responsibility.
Municipalities have Just been given additional burdens in terms of negligence liability for statutory
duties related to .lhemaintenance and repair of roads. Without further details, It will be impossible
for municipalities to consider lhis transfer as they now prepare their capltai bUdget plans.
FACTS: ON MUNCIPAL TRANSIT, AIRPORTS AND FERRIES
)- Financial support for the six municipal terries serving Howe Island, Amherst, Wolfe, Simcoe, MacKenzie,
Pelee and Toronto Islands will be eliminated. The Crombie Panel indicated this was about $3 million.
The Province will retain responsibility for the Glenors and Abitibi ferries.
,.. MuniCipalities will be fully responsible for the operating and capital costs of municipal transit, which is
estimated at about $608 million. The Province will fulfill its current one-time capital funding commitment
for projects such as the Sheppard subway line and the purchase of OBI buses across Ontario.
~ GO Transit services are to become a municipal responsibility and considered in theconlext of the Greater
Toronto Services Board. This change will see the elimination of about $110 million in provincial subsidies.
~ The provincial operating subsidies ($660,000) for the 49 municipaliy owned airports will be eliminated
effective April 1 , 1997. The Province will continue its commitment on ali current contractual obligations
for capital projects.
Action:
This transfer may prove to be a significant hardship for the affected municipalities. AMO will seek
clarification on how lhese changes will be implemented and how the reoently announced community
reinvestment strategy fund will help municipalities manage these transfers.

Province Announces Major Changes For Infrastructure Services In Ontario
FACTS: ON LIBRARIES
,. Governance of library boards: The municipal Council will determine the board's composition, size,
qualifications and rules of operation, including the approval of library budgets. The requirement that
citizens must constitute a majority of members is eliminated.
,. Library resources: While municipalities can set rates and fees for library services, the
legislation/regulations will guarantee free access and use of basic services, including the borrowing of
printed materials and special format materials for residents with disabilities.
,. In addition, operating grants are to be phased out but the Province will continue to support a province-
wide public library network. In 1997/98, the operating grant will be about $12 million.
Action:
AMO has long promoted the need for flexible legislation that gives municipalities, not the Province,
the authority to determine how library services will be governed, what the most appropriate
administrative structure Is and what library services are needed by the community. Municipalities
well understand the important role that libraries play In our communities and find II unfortunate that
the Province feels it must continue to have a regulatory role In the provision of this municipal service.
AMO will seek clarificatIon on the timing for the complete elimination of the operating grant.

ECKER ANNOUNCES NEW PLAN FOR SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY HEALTH
SERVICES
Minister of Community and Social Services Janet Ecker today announced a new
plan for social and community health services that will provide higher quality
services at less Cost to the taxpayer.
The plan starts with a simplified arrangement between the province and
municipalities. The current maze of programs is costly to taxpayers and confuses
people In need.
,.:
"Y
,::
To enable municipal taxpayers to share in the savings resulting from the
government's reduction of welfare benefits to 10% above the average of the
other provinces, the introduction of work for welfare, and the government's
crackdown on fraud and abuse. the funding of welfare will be shared 50/50
between the province and the municipalities.
The Government will establish a Municipal Social Assistance Reserve as a
prudent safeguard against unforseen local economic circumstances and
make an initial contribution to the fund of $ 700 million.
Child Care will be managed at the municipal level and cost-shared 50/50,
within comprehensive provincial quality and safety standards to safeguard
children.
Respon~ibiljtv for the management and funding of social housing will be
transferred to the municipalities, enabling them to determine the housing
needs of their communities.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Amended Police Services Act Introduces Taxpayer Faimess
January 14, 1997, TORONTO - The Honourable Robert Runciman, Solicitor General and
Minister of Correctional Services, today introduced amendments to the PoI;ce SeTl'ices Act that
will bring faimess to the way police services are delivered to taxpayers in Ontario.
"It is only fair that everyone make a contribution towards the cost oflocal police service through
their municipal property taxes," said Mr. Runciman. "This government, unlike others, has taken
action to correct the long-standing unfaimess of some municipalities directly paying for their
police services whilc others do not"
At this time, 576 municipalities do not pay directly for police services while lheir neighbours are
paying their fair share. An ell:ample is that the village of Wheatley. in Kent County, with a
population of 1,557, currently pays directly for their policing, while the District of Musk ok a, with
a population of 45,017, currently does not.
"These amendments will reduce waste and duplication and help to ensure effective protection fur
Ontario citizens," Me Runciman said. "For many years there has been a pressing need to improve
the way policing services are financed, delivered and govemed in Ontario."
The amended Act will cut red tape, foster community involvement and allow more local control
over police service delivery, "Local governments should make decisions about local services,
while the provincial government must ensure province-wide standards of policing and community
safely. n said Mr. Runciman. The amendments will return control of police budgets to
municipalities while maintaining a provincial presence on police services boards.
The legislation will cut in half the number of discipline oversight agencies. The new system ,vill
be simplified and more accountable to the public. The Special Investigations Unit will be
maintained to ensure the independent and impartial investigation of QlSCS Involving serious injury
or death.
.. At the end of the day we will have a modernized, streamlined and simplified oversight system
that is more responsive and accountable to the complainant," said Mr. Runciman

A comprehensive review was conducted by the ministry of how police services are structured,
fUl3nced and governed. These amendments are the result of the hard work ofpoJice, the public
and municipalities. As well, the Emergency Services Sub-panel of the "Who Does What" Panel
provided advice in reducing waste and duplication and an independent review of civilian
oversight of police was conducted.

. Under the Police Services Act, all municipalities are responsible for providing adequate and
effective police services in accordance with thejr needs.
· Exemptions in the current Police Services Act have resulted in 576 municipalities
(representing approximately 15% of the Province's population) being policed by the OPP
without any direct cost to the municipality. Consequently, some municipalities pay for police
services through property taxes (representing 85% ofthe province's population) while others
do not, resulting ill unfairness in the financing of police services across the Province_
· Currently, the province pays for the provision ofOPP services in these 576 municipalities. At
the same time, there are 202 municipalities tbat are responsible for paying their police services
through local municipal property taxes_ The Police &rvices Act must be amended to treat all
taxpayers fairly.
. The proposed legislation will require all municipalities to pay for their own policing as of
January I, 1998. Implementation requires amendments to the Poliu Services Act, the
Rc{;wnaI MUllicipal1tles Ac~ and the District Municipality ofMllSkolUl A.ct,
. The 576 municipalities currently not paying win pay for the opp services that their community
uses. This will be determined by the local detachment and will relate directly to the actual
workload generated in each municipality. The method for determining the actual amounts
owed by municipalities for police services provided by the OPP, and the time and maMer in
which pa)"ments are to be made, will be prescribed in regulation.
· Consistent with the principle of fairness in fUlancing, the Ministry is also amending the Police
Sen.'ices Act to allow for the recovery of costs for investigative serviCC$ and support services
provided by the opp (e,g_, technical traffic collision investigation, underwater search and
rescue. tactical teams, explosives disposal)_

. To ensure that this amendment does not prevent municipal polIce services, especially smaller
poliee services, from seeking assistance of the OPP when required, the decision whether to
recover the costs associated with investigative services will be considered on a case by case
basis and the recovery of those costs will be at the discretion of the Solicitor General.
. The changes are consistent with the "Who Does What Panel's" recommendation that the
province should introduce full cost recovery for policing services provided by the OFP to
municipalities that currently do not pay.

GOVERNANCE OF POLICE SERVICES
The Municipal Role:
· Under the Police SUl'ices Act. municipalities are provided with options to give them more
flexibility in how they are to meet their obligation to provide police services: A municipality
may:
· have its own police service;
. amalgamate its police senice with one or mOre other services;
. share police services with one or more other municipalities;
· create a joint police service board with one or more other municipalities;
· cOntract with the OPP to provide police services.
. The new relationship between municipalities and police services that the "Who Does What
Panel" reconunended WIll be implemented.
. Police services boards wiU remain as the cillilian governing authority of police services in
Ontario. The same number of member;; will comprise a police services board in a particular
community (3 members for a municipal population ofless than 25,000; 5 for a population over
25.000; and 7 for a population exceeding 300,000).
. The appointment authority for police services boards wiD be altered. Municipalities will
appoint the majority. In addition to the existing municipal councilrepresentative{s), a
municipality willa.ppoint a community representative, who is not an elected official or
employee of the municipality. . The province will retain a minority number of appointments.
. Municipalities are given authority to set police budgets. Municipalities that pay for police
services from municipal property taxes will have the ultimate ~ in financial matters.
. Police services boards will be responsible for allocating the funds and administering the budget
for police services.

. The "Who Does What Panel" concluded "elected municipal officials are accountable for
money raised through municipaltaxcs and should therefore have a greater measure of Control
over the costs of providing police services within their community." "...Increased municipal
control over police budgets would ensure increased fiscal accountability to the taxpayer. This
could be achieved through municipal control over budgets and appointments to police services
boards. ..
· To facilitate the coordination of police services across municipal boundaries, the legislation
allows for the establishment of joint police services boards.
· Municipalities, who are provided police service by the OPP other than by contract, may
establish a community policing advisory committee. The committee will advise the OPP
detachment commander of the community's objectives and priorities for the local delivery of
services.
· Existing OPP contract locations will be required to establish a police services board upon
contract renewal. Any new OPP contract locations will be required to establish a police
services board.
The Proyincial Role:
· The "Who Does What Panel" recognized that the Province, in exercising its statutory
mandate, has a constitutional responsibility for oversight and regulation of policing, including
the issue of adequate levels of police service.
· The Panel called on the Province to establish core functions that must be provided by a poliCe
service and minimum adequacy standards for effective and cost-efficient police service
delivery. Both recommendations have been adopted.
· These legislative amendments enSure adequate and effective police service delivery consistent
with the five core police functions: crime prevention, law enforcement, assistance to victims
of crime, maintenance of public safety, and emergency response. These core elements ensure
that all Ontarians will have policing that adequately meets the needs of their community.
Adequacy standards will be developed by regulation.
· The existing appeal mechanism to the Ontario Civilian Commission on Police Services
(OCCPS) relating to adequacy and budget by the police services board will continue.
Similarly, the Solicitor General may request DeepS to conduct a hearing into matters of
adequacy of a police service, consistent with the statutory mandate of his office for ensuring
public safety.

History of Consultation and Review on Police Oversight:
. On December 21, 1995, the Solicitor General announced a comprehensive review of the
structure and financing of police services in Ontario.
· A Discussion Paper was released to the police and municipal stakeholders, as well as, all
Caucus members, on May 2, 1996. The purpose of the Discussion Paper was to obtain
stakeholder input on a range of issues, including police oversight.
. In June 1996, as part of the review of police services, the Solicitor General hosted a two-day
Police Sununit to seek input from police and municipal stakeholders on the future of police
service delivery in Ontario. Police oversight was one of the issues discussed.
· Following the Summit, during the months ofJuly and August 1996, the Solicitor General held
further, more focused consultations with representatives from the police and municipal
stakeholder associations on issues raised at the SUBunit, inCluding police oversight.
· During the above discussions, both police and municipal stakeholders identified a critical need
to delayer and streamline the current system of police oversight.
· Police and municipal stakeholders agreed that the system of civilian oversight of police
activity must be credible, fair, objective, trwparent and Opell with \.wels of accountability
that are understandable and which have the confidence of both the police and the general
public.
· The stakeholders believe that, where possible, oversight should be anchored at the local level.
· Finally, police and municipal stakeholders recommended that there continue to be a separate
oversight agency with responsibility for dealing with conduct of a police officer which has
resulted in serious injury or death (i.e., the Special Investigations Unit.)
· In addition to the above discussions, on October 9,1996, the government commissioned
Roderick McLeod, Q.C. to conduct a wider consultation on the issue of police oversight - this
consultation included conununity groups. Mr. McLeod released his reconunendations on
December- 2, 1996.

lNTRODUCll0N OF AMENDMENTS TO THE POLlCE SERVICES ACT
COMMO,~LY ASKED QUESTIONS k"'D ANSW~RS
1. What are the highlights of the amendments?
Highlights of !lIe pr9Posed amendments include:
. community representative appointments to local police services boards by municipal
councils;
. establishment of the police service budget by the municipal council with police services
boards responsible for allocating funds and administering the budget;
· municipal responsIbility to pay for the oost of local police services;
. opportunity to develop joint police se.tvices boards;
· development of community advisory cotmnittees in municipalities paying for Opp
services for the first time;
. a delayered, transparent, more accountable systCJn of civilian oversight that devolves
responsibility to the locaIleve~ enoouraging infomlal resolution, while maintaining
appropriate provincial responsibility; and
· regulated standards of adequacy of police services.
2. What are the benefits or the amendments to the PSA?
The amendments will improve the overall effectiveness and oost-efficiency of police
service delivery in Ontario and will further enhance public safety in tbe province by:
. ensuring adequate and effective service delivery in all parts of the province;
. ensuring all municipalities oontribute to tbe costs of police services In thelr
communities;
· reducing administrative and operational overlap and duplication;
· providing flexibility to meet current and emerging police service priorities; and,
· ensuring accountability at both the municipal and provincia11evds of govenullent.
3. Any chance for public input now?
The legislative process for introducing amendments to the PSA includes an opportunity
for public participation through public hearings. At that time, the public at large may
make the govenunent aware of their views and concerns.
4. When will public hearings be scheduled?
The legislative Justice Committee has not advised MSGCS of the schedule as yet for
spring '97.

5. Wh)' the need to have all municipalities pay? Isn't this just downloading?
No. There is only one taxpayer.
It's only reasonable that all municipalities pay for the cost of policing their communities
tluouSh their municipal propeny taxes. At this time. 576 municipalities do not pay
directly for their local police service while their neighbours are paying their fair share.
An example is the village of Whealley. in Kent County. with a population of 1,557.
currently pay for the policing while the District ofMuskoka. with a population 01'45.017,
does not ?ay for policing directly from their property taxes.
Changes 10 police finance are pan of the government's overall strategy to deliver
improved servi= at less cost to taxpayers. Small, rural, and northern municipalities will
bc protected by the government's re-investment strategy.
6. Will this prevent a red uction in service delivery?
Under the Police Services Act, municipalities have choi= as to how they-ean provide
police ~rvices. The date ofimplementation and costing scheme will be regulated to
coincide with the introduction of the govemment's overall re-investment strategy.
Beginning in 1998, its expected that the overaU government re-investment strategy, related
to the r,,-a1igrunent ofprovinciaI-municipal roles and responsibilities, will fully mitigate any
"negative" impact of charging for OPP service, paniculady in small, rural and northern
municipalities.
7, What's to prevent municipalities from cutling police budgets and l'educing
policing service delivery now?
Local tax-payers decide and inform the municipal council how much policing is enough to
meet local needs and conditions.
The provincial role lies with the Ontario Civilian COllllnission On Police Services to ensure
adequate and effective police services are provided. The Commission can determine
budgd. disputes between police services boards and councils after a hearing.
8. When wiU implementation begin?
A phased-in implementation will be part of the government's overall re-investment
strategy that is expected to take effect in 1998.

9. How will the OF}> determine the amount to charge municipalities?
Page 014
STATION *t 035
P1:
All municipalities will be required to pay the actual cost of OPP services in its municipoJity
as determined by the local detacJunent operational assessment undertaken by the local
Opp detachment commander.
10. What about municipalities that already owe the province money?
Most have notified the Ministry that they withheld their payment until fair financing was
brought it. It now is and we expect payment (of the $5 million owed, in total).
ShOuld it be required, there is now a mechanism in the amended PSA by which we can
collect owed monies. The mechanism involves Withholding any pOrtion of prOvincial
funding (i.e. grants) to repay the debt for police services, or the province will go to court
for the debt owed.
11. What changes to civilian governance can be expected?
There are changes to the structure and certain responsibilities of the psb, .including:
. community representatives who are currently appointed by the Province now will be
appointed by the municipal council;
· the municipal council will be responsible for establishing the budget for the police
service; flnd
· the police services board will be responsible for allocating funds and administering the
budget fur pOlice services.
In the future, MSGCS will develop a regulation for psb members that includes a code of
conduct, conflict ofinterest policy, training requirements, and length of appointment and
remuneration guidelines.
"
II
I
il
II
A regulation will also be developed as a framework for the development onoint police
services boards. These boards are to have the same number of members based on
population served as in the composition of municipal psbs. The municipal representatives
arc to be selected from the councils of Participating municipalities.
In OPP contract locations. a municipal police services board or joint police services board
will be required.
In the 576 municipalities required to now pay for OPP services, community advis01Y
committees may to be set-up with a representative from each municipality served by the
local Opp detaclunent to provide advice to the local detaclunent commander concerning
local priorities and needs.

12. Why not follow the recommendlltions on responsibility for appointments to
police services boards given by oUler recent ,'eviews (e.g. McLeod, wnw pAnel)?
The proposed model for the composition of police services boards best maintains the
provincial intercst of civilian governance with municipal demands for greater control.
13. How much money will be recovered/saved by charging tbe 576 municipalities
for OPP services?
More than S 182 million annually.
14. Bow can adequate policing be assured in the future?
Adequacy standards will be developed by regulation. To ensure that aU Ontarians have
adeql1llte policing, five core functions have been identified: crime prevention, law
enforcement, emcrgency response, assistance to victims, and maintenance of public order.
The existing appeal mechanism to the OCCPS relating to adequacy and budget by the
police services board will continue.
Similarly, the Solicitor General may request the OCCPS to conduct a hearing into matters
of adequacy of 8 police service, consistent with the statutory mandate ofltis office for
ensuring public safety.
IS. What are the changes to the curreDt oversight system?
The proposed model:
F<
o devolves responsibility of oversight to the 10caIlevel where appropriate, while
continuing to maintain a provincial presence ill oversight;
o reduces the complaints and discipline systems into one streamlined and simplified
system; and.
o encourages informal resolution throughout the process, at all levels of the complaint
and discipline systems.

. the Ontario Civilian Conunission on Police SelVices. tbe Office of the Police
Complaints Commissioner and the Board of Inquiry will be replaced by a single
oversight agency, The "new" OCCPS will have a broader range ofre.~ponsibilities
including;
- an appellate function from the disposition of local oversight matters relating to
the conduct of a police officer in matters of serious misconduct or work
perfonnance;
. a review role of all public complaints tbat are dealt with locally and are not
resolved to the satisfaction of tbe complainant; and,
- conduct inquiries, on its own motion, with respect to complaints, including the
disposition of such complaints.
. All complaints will be referred to the local chief of polied detac;hment commander.
Complaints involvjl1l;: the chielldetaclunent commander will be referred to the local
psb/ Conunissioner's office. In the OPP, ifthe complaint involves the Commissioner or
a Deputy Commissioner, the complaint will be referred to the Solicitor Galeral. .
. The SIU will continue, to investigate matters involving serious injury or death, under
the jurisdiction of the MAG.
· Less serious matters regarding conduct or work perfonnance will be dealt with by the
chief of police as a labour relations matters with an appeal mechanism through the
OCCPS.
16. What about police investigating policel
The SIU has a team of professional, civilian investigatOn> who may not currently be police
officers. '
I
II
I
The mandate and positioning of the agency under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the
Attorney General. assure the autonomous nature and impartial functioning of the SID in
their investigation of police conduct in cases of serious injury or death.
17. Wby will public complaints be only dealt with at the loeallevet1
The proposed model while anchoring oversight at the local level (i.e. chief of police and/or
police service board) ensures at the same time that the provincial interest in overseeing
police accountability in matters of public safety and public tlUst is maintained.
The Conunission has a review role of public complaints that are dealt with locally and
where the complainant is unsatisfied with the outcome and may, on its own motion, .
conduct inquiries with respect to police matters.

18. What about already filed complaints that ar,- ill the process of being re,.'ponded

These new provisions are in eff'ect, January 1,1998. However, ifaU parties agree,
complaints currently filed may be dealt with under the new legislation before this period.
Hearings currently underway and lIot concluded before Janaury ], ]998, will be dealt with
under the "old" system.
19. Will the province dictate the number of police se.'Vices in Ontario?
;-.; 0, the choice of the structure of policing in a particular community is a local decision
that is made based on the public safety needs oftbe conununity being served.
I
20. Could the legislative changes result in some police services being eliminated?
I
I
I
This is a local decision. MunicipalitiC$ have four options in the PSA with respect to
providing policing services to their community; amalgamation or contracting with other
police services are options that may be selected instead of having one's own municipal
police service.
21. Will police jobs be eliminated?
We can't rule out that possibility; however, decisions regarding police services are made
llX'ally. To assist in ensuring adequate policing, MSGCS soon will be providing a
regulatory framework for municipalities to consult in their decision-making process.
I

The OCCP S exists to ensure that the number of police officers is sufficient to provide
adequate and effective policing.

Statement In the Legislature by
The Honourable Rober1 W. Runciman
Solicitor General and Minister of Correctional Services
Amendments to the Police Services Act
January 14, 1997
Mr. Speaker, on Monday, my colleague the Minister of E<tucation annoUnced that
education costs will be removed from the residential portion of the municipal
property tax base.
Later today, I Intend to introduce long-awaited amendments to the Police
Services Act that will bring similar fairness to the way that Ontario taxpayers pay
for their policing.
At this time, 676 municipalities do not pay anything for police services through
their proper1y taxes while their nelghbours are paying tlleir fair share. For
example, the village of Wheatley, In Kent County, with a population of 1,557,
currently pays directly for their policing M well as through their property taxes.
The District of Muskoka, with a population of 45,017, cl.lrrently Qoes not.
Mr. Speaker, it is only fair that everyone pays for their policing. Past
governments knew this was true. In fact, in 1990, and a.gain in 1994, the
PrOVinCial Auditor brought this problem to the attention of the Governments of
the day but they failed to act.
With these payments will also come local accountability. Police budgets will now
be approved by municipal councils and they will appoint the majority of members
to their pollee services boards.
Mr. Spea.ker, we believe tha.t this renewed partnership between the province, local
government and the police will benefit all the taxpayers of Ontario. Our
proposals will allow community leaders to playa critical role in keeping our
communities safe.
It is clear to everyone interested In police oversight that the current system does
not work. It Is complex, expensive, and slow. These amendmentS will ellmina.te
waste, duplication and overlap.
After much study and consultation, we have designed a. new oversight system
that will offer an efficient, coordinated approach to civilian review and judgment
of pollee actions. The new oversight system will be fair, objective, clOd
aCCountable for the police and the communities they Serve.

90562341&9 Diane HaAre Pa~e 003
** FACSIMilE SERVICE STATION ** 013
,
At the end of the day we will have a modernized, streamlined and simplified
oversight system that is more re$ponslve llnd accountable to the complainant.
Mr. Speaker, the system now has a 30 day initial response time set for public
complalnts_ There will also be a clear ana simple appeal process if they are not
satisfied with the outcome of their complaint.
We Intend to merge three of the e)t!sting oversight bodies into one _ the Ontario
Civilian Commission on rollce Services. EffiCiencies will be realized by ending
administrative duplication and overlap, not by compromising civilian authority.
The fourth oversight body, the Speciallnvestigalions Unit, which deals with
matters involving serious injury or death, will contlnue in its role as an
independent and impartial Investigator of police conduct I.Inde! the jurisdiction of
the Ministry of the Attorney General.
With these amendments, every municipality will be treated fairly since they will all
contribute directly to the cost of policing. These Important changes will also give
local governments the authority and tools tIley need to best provide policing
services for theif communities.
Thank you.

que les couts de I'education ne seronl plus preleves sur les impOts fonciers des

Plus tard aUjourd'hui, j'ai l'lntention de presenter des modifications ala Loi sur

en sorte que Ie memo esprit d'equite s'etendra a la fa~on dont les contribLlables _.

A I'heure actuelle, 576 municipalites ne paient rien du tout pour les services
pollciars au moyen de leurs taxes foncieres, tandls que leurs voisins palent leur
juste part. Par example, Ie village de Wheatley, dans Ie comte de Kent, qUI a une
population de 1 557 personnes, pale ses services policlers defayon directe et au
moyen d a ses taxes foncieres. Par contre, Ie district de Muskoka. ayant una
population de 45 017 personnes, ne Ie fait pas,
Monsieur Ie President, ce n'est que justice que tout Ie monde paie ses services
policiers. Les gouvemements anterleurs savalent qu'i1 en etalt ainsi. De fait, en
1990, et encore en 1994, Ie verificateur provincial a porte ce probleme A I'attention
du gouvemement de I'epoque, qui, cependant, n'y a pes donne suite.
Ces paiements se tradulront par I'obligation de rendre des comptes sur Ie plan
local. L'approbatlon des bUdgets des services polic:iers revlendra dorenavant
aux conseils munlcipaux, qui nommeront la majorite des membres de leur

performance while cutting bureaucratic duplication and waste, Education and Training
Minister John Snobelen announced today as he outlined the government's plans to
reform the structure of the province's education system for 1998.
"Residential property taxpayers can't afford to pay the spiraling costs of school boards:
Snobelen said. "School boards have increased residential property taxes by an
average of 5 per cent each and every year over the past 10 years. If these trends
continued, the residential property taxpayers would be paying $6.2 billion for education
by the year 2000:
Total enrolment increased by only 16 per cent between 1985 and 1995, while school
board spending increased by 82 per cent and property taxes went up !?y more than 120
per cent In 1996, for example, school board budgets were reduced by 1.8 per cent.
Rather than reduce spending, 78 per cent of boards chose to increase residential
property taxes. Of those, more than 29 boards increased property taxes by more than 3
pergent.
"We have rejected the idea of pooling," said Snobelen. "Business will continue to
contribute to the cost of education, and revenues raised locally will be spent in the
community for which they were generated.'
The province will replace that revenue from residential taxpayers with provincial grants
under a new, fair funding model. The model will recognize the cost of educating
students and of meeting their special circumstances, such as students learning English
for the first time in the classroom, students with special needs, and students in remote
communities. In addition, the ministry will establish a commission to ensure reforms
take place in an organized and careful way.
. As part of our commitment to move students to the head of the class, we will refocus
our resources where they belong - on the individual student and teacher in the
classroom: Snobelen said. "To do this, we will streamline administration by cutting the
number of school boards by half, and eliminating politicians by cutting the number of
trustees by two-thirds.'
The existing 129 major school boards in Ontario will be replaced by 66 new "District
Boards" effective January 1, 1998. The 37 existing isolate and hospital boards will be
maintained as school authorities.
The number of trustees will be cut from almost 1,900 to approximately 700. Trustees
will no longer receive up to the equivalent of a full-time salary. School boards will have
the option to provide trustees an honorarium of up to $5,000 per year.
To improve accountability and community involvement in the education system,
Snobelen also announced that the government will pass legislation requiring that every
school have an advisory school council. The Mil1istry will publish annual reports that
will allow parents to monitor and evaluate the performance of local school boards by
allowing them to see clearly where education dollars are spent.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF EDUCATION RESTRUCTURING
(Check against delivery)
Good morning,
Today, more than ever, a quality education system is critical to the future success of
Ontario. It is a passport to opportunity for the individual student growing up in a rapidly
changing world, and it is a vital factor in determining how well, we, as a society will
succeed in an increasingly complex and competitive global economy.
All Ontarians are well aware of the importance of education to the economy and the
quality of life in this province. But, we are equally aware that education spending must
be accountable and well managed; that education dollars must be invested wisely.
This building, the Enoch Turner School House, is an appropriate pl?ce for today's
announcement. The first free public education in Toronto was provided here. The
pamphlet distributed by the School reminds us that the issues being debated by the
citizens and taxpayers of Toronto some 150 years ago are similar to those we are
hearing across the province today: Disagreement over how tax dollars should be spent
and the high costs of education spending.
Today, I want to announce that this govemment is responding to similar concerns.
Under the reform package I am releasing today, residential property taxpayers will no
longer be paying for education. Effective 1998, these funds will be provided through
provincial grants.

Last year, the people of Ontario spent more than $13-billion on elementary and
secondary education. School boards have increased residential property taxes by an
average of 5 per cent each and every year over the past 10 years. If these trends
continued, the residential property taxpayers would be paying $6.2 billion for education
by the year 2000.

School boards have shown little accountability in their spending habits. While total
enrolment rose by 16 per cent between 1985 and 1995, school board spending
increased by 82 per cent, and property taxes shot up by more than 120 per cent.
In 1996, for example, school board budgets were reduced by 1.8 per cent. Rather than
reduce spending, 78 per cent of boards chose to increase residential property taxes.
Of those, more than 29 boards increased property taxes by more than 3 per cent.
')
Residential property taxpayers have seen their taxes rise as school boards have built
elaborate administrative centres. In some cases, not one, but two of these monuments
to school board spending face each other across a single intersection. Some have
opulent adornments, including waterfall walls and terrazzo floors. One that I know of
also has an ownership interest in a golf course.
Taxpayers have also been shocked as trustees, despite public opposition, approve
their own salary increases and severance packages. They are also frustrated by the
annual delegations - including trustees and senior administrative staff -- that attend
conferences in warm climates that always seem to occur during the Winter months
when the academic year is in full swing.
Residential taxpayers can't afford to, and shouldn't be expected to, pay for these
spiraling costs, which are routinely demanded by school boa~s.
Business taxes will continue to contribute to education funding. But I want to make it
clear that we have rejected the idea of pooling.
These taxes will remain in the community for which they were generated. Beginning in
1998, municipalities will collect this money, then forward it to the local school boards.
These reforms are based on extensive consultation with the people- of this province that
has involved 24 separate reviews on finance and governance since 1950, including 2
Royal Commissions, 10 commissions and committees, 2 fact-finding reports, 2 panels
and innumerable meetings.
Time and again, parents have told government that they are concerned about the
quality of their children's education and the way in which education dollars are being
spent. They say that they can't get straight answers on what their children should be
learning and if, in fact, they are learning it.
We will change this.
We will enhance student performance while at the same time, reducing costs, cutting
bureaucratic duplication, and eliminating waste.
I recognize that these are not revolutionary ideas. Ontarians have watched as, one by
one, other jurisdictions no matter what political stripe in Canada and around the world
have reformed their education systems to manage the costs of education by reducing
duplication and waste, and streamlining administration and bureaucracy.

But, I can assure you that Ontario will no longer sit on the sidelines as others move
ahead. We are now ready to move forward with the much-needed reform of the
education system. These reforms will allow us to focus resources on the classroom,
where they"belong, so that we can implement successful reform of the curriculum and
enhance the performance of our students.
By making these reforms, we are going to improve the quality of education at less cost
to the taxpayer. We are going to focus resources where they should be, in the
classroom. To do that, we will develop a new fair model for distributing funding to
ensure a high quality of education that meets all students' individual needs regardless
of where they live.
The early development of the new funding model was conducted by The Working
Group on Education Finance Reform, which was composed Ol key stakeholders,
including representatives of teachers federations, provincial school board associations,
and Metro area school boards.
The principles and features of the model that grew out of their work have already been
presented in the consultation paper, Meeting Students' Needs, that we released in
September. We have received tremendous response to this consultation paper, and we
will be incorporating that input into our new funding model. .
This new funding model will provide funds to recognize the cost of educating students,
including special circumstances, such as students learning English for the first time in
the classroom; students with special needs; and students in remote communities.
This model will address the added expense of providing education in the North and in
the urban centres of Ontario, which each face unique challenges.
This model will address, for example, the concerns of urban boards, such as Metro
Toronto, which are the largest recipients of new immigrants to not only Ontario, but
Canada; and of smaller boards, such as Kirkland Lake and Timiskaming R.C., which
must meet the high costs of transportation and heating.
We will be releasing a full and detailed proposal for the new funding model later this
winter. The model will outline the approach we intend to take in some detail and will
identify a number of issues on which we would like advice before finalizing the model.
.
-1
The new funding model will:
. fund all students according to their needs;
. define the cost of providing a high quality classroom education;
. provide parents with a clear and understandable basis for assessing the
financial performance of their school board.
Because the new funding model is based on the needs of student, it will help to refocus
resources back on the classroom where they belong. According to the Report on
School Board Spending 1995-96 that I released last week, the discrepancies between
how boards spend their resources is marked, with some devoting up to 73 per cent to
the classroom and others as little as 51 per cent.
This report states that, on average, for every dollar spent on the Classroom, more than
80 cents was spent outside the classroom. -
Clearly, this situation cannot continue if we are 'going to give every student in this
province an opportunity to excel. Non-classroom spending must be reduced in order to
maximize the resources focused on the classroom.
Since the province is now assuming the lead in setting standards for student
achievement, and taking education off the residential property tax, school boards and
trustees can get out of the taxation business and will now be able to concentrate on
their core objective of being guardians of education in their communities.
This will allow boards to renew their focus on the students in the school; to devote their
efforts to student achievement, reporting and curriculum implementation.
Given this redefined and streamlined role and the need to reduce administrative
spending and cut duplication, The number of major school boards in Ontario will be cut
in half from 129 to 66 and replaced by new "District" school boards effective January 1,
1998. Where possible, the District boards will follow municipal boundaries. We will be
retaining the small isolate and hospital boards as school authorities.
After this reform, the province will have 55 English language school boards, down from
125; and 11 French-language school boards, which will replace the confusing array of
4 existing boards, 59 sections of boards and 8 advisory committees.
These changes will respect all constitutional rights, and they will respect the tradition of
local control and decision-making.

Also, we are redefining the role of the school board trustee. We want to restore
trustees to their traditional and effective role as guardians of local education.
We will reduce the number of politicians by cutting the number of trustees at major
boards from almost 1,900 to approximately 700. Trustees will no longer take home the
equivalent of a full-time salary - some more than $49,000 a year. School boards will
now have the option to provide an honorarium of up to $5,000.
The trustee's role will be to provide policy direction and support - not to be hands-on,
day-to-day managers in the schools.
There will also be new rules about who is eligible to serve as a trustee. We wi3nt to get
away from the situation where those elected to serve on a board are unable to
adequately represent their constituents and participate in decision making on key
issues because of potential conflicts of interest. School boara employees and their
spouses will not be able to serve as trustee in any school board or school authority in
Ontario. Running for office will be permitted if the employee takes a leave of absence.
By clarifying the role of the trustees, we will allow teachers and principals 'to once again
take responsibility for the operation of their schools. In addition, teachers will be
assured that they will have the resources they need to teach the curriculum, and that
grants will address their students individual needs, such as English-as-a-Second
Language.
In keeping with our pledge to parents, we will provide them with the information and
opportunities they need to resume their role as full partners in the education of their
children. We will publish annual reports that demystify education financing so that
parents and taxpayers can monitor and evaluate their school board's performance by
seeing clearly where education dollars are being spent.
We will also give parents a greater direct voice in education by entrenching into law the
principle that every school must have an advisory school council. And, we will look for
ways to give school councils more opportunities to influence their neighborhood school
on issues related to school programs, codes of discipline, and feedback on student
achievement.
Finally, to make sure that these reforms take place in an organized and careful way, we
will be introducing a commission that will work with the local community, including
trustees, classroom teachers, parents and other stakeholders in the education
community to guide the process of change.

Today, I have outlined the structural reform of Ontario's education system. These
changes will allow us to take education off the residential property tax, while
proceeding with the strengthening of our curriculum and the establishment of high
standards of quality.
I want to take a few moments to bring you up to date on where we are on that initiative.
The hallmarks of Ontario's new education system will be high standards and
accountability. Our standards will be clear, measurable and comprehensive in all
grades. And the new, revised curriculum will be the same across the province.
Parents throughout the province have encouraged me to be specific when it comes to
curriculum. People agree with the principle of a standard curriculum, but they want
substance and details. .
The Ontario Government is committed to doing that, beginning with a new curriculum
for Grades 1-9 in language, math, science and technology, which will be released in
the coming months. This rigorous and demanding new curriculum is the first stage in
building a complete curriculum that provides a solid foundation in the basics.
It will focus on reading, writing, spelling, grammar, math, science, geography,
technology and Canadian history. It will also renew programs in the arts, physical
education and other subjects.
We have increased support for the use of information technology in the classroom
through a $40 million investment in the Technology Incentive Partnership Program,
which will provide innovative and current applications in the classroom, particularly in
the early grades. This is part of our ongoing commitment to ensure that students in
Ontario's education system are kept up-to-date with the technology of the future.
We have completed consultations on secondary school reform which were one of the
most ambitious ever on education in the province. We heard from more than 20,000
individuals and groups. This valuable input will form the basis of the government's
decisions on the structure and content of secondary schools in the province. The new
four-year program will be implemented for students entering Grade 9 in September
1998.
The curriculum reforms will be phased in over five years, beginning this year. And,
also this year, the Education Quality and Accountability Office will conduct regular,
province-wide testing of students so parents will know whether their child has learned
what is expected. And, we will require standard student report cards by this fall that
allow parents to clearly see how well their child is doing.

Our commitment to parents is that they will know exactly what their children are
expected to know, learn and be able to do at various stages of their schooling. And
beginning this year, we are going to publish our own report card and ask the public and
parents to grade our efforts. We believe it's the best way to make the system more
accountable.
We are meeting our pledge. Reforming the education system to ensure our children a
solid foundation upon which to build their lives - a foundation upon which Ontario's
future prosperity depends.
To do that, this government has made a choice. We are putting education dollars
where we believe they should be: On students and teachers in the classroom, and to
focus on high province-wide standards of education where excellence is the norm for
all.
We owe that to our students, who are as capable as students anywhere and have the
right to a challenging education. We owe it parents, who have the right to know that
their children's education is second to none.
We also owe it to our classroom teachers, who through consistent province-wide
standards, can be assured that the students coming into their c1ass'have the skills they
need to succeed. And to taxpayers, who need to know that their education dollars are
being spent efficiently and effectively.
The reform package I am announcing today is an important step in bringing
accountability back into the education system. Parents and taxpayers will now have a
clear and consistent standard for what students should be learning and when, and how
that learning is funded,
Responsibility lies with all of us to act together to bring about these changes. In doing
that, we are returning public trust to Ontario's education system.
There is no question that the world that our children will graduate into will be quite
different from the one that we see around us today, The reforms that we are making
will ensure that Ontario's students will not be left behind.
Thank you.

Province reduces duplication
in the delivery of public transportation services
TORONTO - The government is reducing duplication in the delivery of local
transportation services to provide better service at lower cost to the taxpayer,
Transportation Minister AI Palladini announced today.
~u'~liti.eS 'J,'i11 soon fully fund municipal transit and municipai afrports. Th,ey \,vii! al~o
be r.e.~IN!1siblefor GOTransit and those highways and ferriest\1at primarily serVe local
needs.
"The Who Does What panel helped us sort out which level of government should be
respbnsible for which public transportation services," said Palladini. "For instance, if a
ferry or an airport is owned by a municipality or serves mainly local passengers, it
makes sense that the local government should be fully responsible for it - not the
province."
"This government is clarifying provincial and municipal government roles to ensure
Ontario taxpayers have fair, efficient and accountable public services," he added.
The province has asked Milt Farrow to give full consideration to the importance of
cross-boundary GO service as part of his broader review of a Greater Toronto Services
Soarp.
The provincial government expects to release in the near future the list of highways to
be transferred to municipalities. It will maintain the provincial highway network,
highways in sparsely populated areas and remote airports in Northern Ontario. The
province will retain responsibility for the Glenora and Abitibi ferries.
Ontario will also fulfil its commitments to the Sheppard Subway, the TIC five-year
capital plan, and new buses for municipal transit services across the province.

Current situation:
. The provincial government has regulatory control of certain transportation
functions that are run locally, such as ambulance services, transit and school
busing. These services are not well co-ordinated and are therefore less efficient
and more costly than they could otherwise be.
Who Does What panel recommendations:
. Municipalities should look for ways to better integrate local transportation, and
the provincial government should support this by removing legislative barriers
and by funding pilot projects.
Government response:
. The govemment announced a new program called the Community
Transportation Action Program to fund pilot projects. Legislation was introduced
to begin clarifying what community transportation is all about, and to begin
removing barriers.

approximately $110 million. The province appoints the chair of the Board of
Directors and each regional municipality with GO service has a representative on
the Board.
Who Does What panel recommendations:
. With the acceptance of the recommendation to create a Greater Toronto

transferred to this new body.
Government response:
. The province is transferring GO Transit to municipalities. GO Transit will be
considered as part of a broader review of a Greater Toronto Services Board.
This review will give full consideration to the importance of cross-boundary GO
service.

Current Situation:
. The province is responsible for the construction and maintenance of provincial
highways, while municipalities are responsible for local roads, county and
regional roads. In spring 1996. the province announced the transfer to
municipalities of some 1,766 kilometres of highways that serve primarily locai
needs. An additional 9,000 kilo metres of provincial highways also serve primarily
local needs, however many of these highways are in sparsely populated areas.
Who Does What panel recommendations:
. The province should identify and transfer to municipalities full responsibility for
those highways that serve primarily local needs. Municipalities should be given
access to a new revenue source, such as a portion of the gasoline tax, to help
offset future maintenance costs. This would give municipalities greater control
over land-use and development along these roads. The government should
retain responsibility for highways in remote parts of Northern and eastern
Ontario.
Government response:
. The government accepts these recommendations and will identify highways in
the near future for transfer on January 1, 1998. The government will continue to
be responsible for the provincial highway network and highways in sparsely
POPUlated areas. .

Current situation:
. The Ontario Ministry of Transportation owns and operates four ferry services and
supports six municipal ferry services. MTO is providing approximately
$10 million for all these services in 1996-97.

. Municipalities should assume full responsibility for financing and operating ferry
services that link local or county roads. Ferries linking provincial highways should
remain the responsibility of the province.
Government response:
. The government supports the principle of the panel's recommendations. The
government will be transferring ferries that primarily meet local traffic needs or
link local roads, where a suitable municipal recipient exists. The ferries that will
no longer receive provincial funding include the two serving Howe Island and
those that serve Amherst, Wolfe, Simcoe, MacKenzie, Pelee and Toronto
Islands. The province will retain responsibility for the Glenora ferry which is a link
for a provincial highway, and the Abitibi ferry which serves a sparsely populated
and unorganized area.

1996-97. the province is providing a $660,000 subsidy to 49 municipal airports to
help offset operating deficits -- about half of last year's amount. In 1996-97, the

Dear Friends:
Today I introduced new legislation amending the Public Libraries Act to provide a new
framework for the provincial/municipal roles in the delivery of library service. This framework
has been developed on the basis of consultations I conducted last summer with the library
community and the recommendations of the Who Does What panel.
The mandate of the Who Does What panel, chaired by the Honourable David Crombie, was to
eliminate duplication, over-regulation and dual responsibility for the delivery oflocal and
provincial services. The initiative was undertaken not only to clarify roles, but also to provide
flexibility for municipalities to develop new, innovative approaches and to manage their affairs
in a cost-effective manner.
I believe this new framework will improve the delivery of library services to the people of
Ontario and lower the costs for this service to taxpayers. Municipalities are being given full
authority to provide and effectively manage library services in their community. They currently
fund the major portion of library costs and the government is removing unnecessary
restrictions on municipal councils' ability to make decisions affecting local library service
delivery. Libraries will continue to be governed by boards appointed by municipal councils.
Municipalities can structure their boards as they so choose. The province will continue to
support a province-wide library network through policy, strategic funding and partnerships.
The new library framework, comprised of changes to the Public Libraries Act and a new
regulation under the Municipal Act, guarantees free access to public libraries as well as the free
use of materials on the premises. Residents will still be able to borrow print material for free.
The borrowing of special format materials will be free of charge for residents with disabilities.
Our libraries play an indispensable role in the education of people of all ages and abilities. They
make a significant contribution to the well-educated workforce, which is one of Ontario's
greatest economic strengths.

Provincial operating grants will be phased out. To begin with, as previously announced, they
will decrease by a further 20% of the 1995/96 base in 1997/98. Provincial support for libraries
will be directed to province-wide networking between libraries and other infonnation sources,
including continued support for the work of the Ontario Library Service.
I have provided you with a fact sheet which explain the changes that will occur when the new
framework is implemented. To help your staff and clients understand the changes, you may
wish to post this on your notice board. You will also be sent copies of the new legislation
amending the Public Libraries Act and the new Regulation under the new Municipal Act.
I believe this new framework for the delivery of library services will strengthen and safeguard
our library system, and will help ensure that Ontario's libraries continue to playa central role in
the lives of Ontarians.
Yours sincerely,

GOVERNMENT INTRODUCES LEGISLATION TO AMEND
THE PUBLIC LmRARIES ACT
'"
Toronto - January 15, 1997 With the introduction of the Local Control of Public Libraries
Act, 1997 the government of Ontario moved to give local governments the legislated authority
and responsibility to manage their library services.
"This new Act will both improve the delivery of library selVices to the people of Ontario and
lower the costs for this service. Consistent with the recommendations of the Who Does What
panel, the new Act removes unnecessary restrictions on local decision-making," said Marilyn
Mushinski, Minister of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation. "This new Act will strengthen and
safeguard our library system and will help ensure that Ontario' s libraries continue to playa centra] ,
role in the lives of Ontarians."
Under the new Act, libraries will be governed by boards appointed by municipal councils. The
new library framework, comprised of changes to the Public Libraries Act and new regulation
under the Municipal Act, guarantees free access to libraries, free use of materials in libraries, free
borrowing of printed materials by residents, and free borrowing of special format materials for
residents with disabilities.
"Municipalities currently provide the major portion oflibrary funding, so it makes sense for
elected municipal officials to have the authority and responsibility to manage and fund the library
resources in their communities," said Minister Mushinski. "We believe municipalities will make
the right decisions"
The province will continue to support the library system through pannerships, policy and funding
of the province-wide network of shared resources, co-operative services and telecommunications
links that connect Ontario's public libraries to each other and to global information networks.
"Our libraries play an indispensable role in the education of people of all ages and abilities," said
Minister Mushinski when introducing the legislation. "Libraries make a significant contribution

PROVINCE INTRODUCES BILL TO CONSOLIDATE
PROCESSING OF TICKETABLE OFFENCES
AND PROVIDE MUNICIPALITIES WITH INCREASED REVENUE
TORONTO __ Attorney General Charles Hamick took steps today to eliminate waste and duplication
and to consolidate the administrative functions for Provincial Offences, primarily ticketing offences,
at one level of government. He announced that the Provincial Offences Act (POA) will be amended
to transfer administrative and some prosecutorial functions for ticketable offences and fines to
municipalities.
Transfer of POA ticketing offences to municipalities was recommended by the "Who Does What"
panel, chaired by David Crombie.
"We're building on the successful transfer of parking tickets to municipalities three years ago," said
Mr. Hamick. "That provided services at a lower cost to the taxpayer," he said, noting that 95 per
'cent of parking tickets are now handled by municipalities.
"Transferring the remaining ticket type offences, and associated revenue, is the next logical step in
the process. It brings all administrative functions under one level of government and will streamline
filing, scheduling and payment processes." Mr. Harnick added,
The POA sets out the procedures to be followed for offences under provincial statutes, municipal
by-laws and certain federal laws. Part I covers minor regulatory offences such as excessive noise,
spitting and speeding; Part II covers parking infractions; and Part III covers offences such as driving
while under suspension arid chemical spills. The changes mean:
administrative functions, prosecution and court support for Part I
tickets will be transferred to municipatities; and
. all municipalities will administer their own parking tickets;
. only administrative functions for the more serious Part III
offences will be transferred to the municipalities.

The province will continue to prosecute Part III offences, which are often more
complex and can result in jail sentences. It will also retain responsibility for setting
and monitoring standards for the administration of justice in order to ensure uniform,
fair and equal justice across Ontario. Provincially appointed Justices of the Peace will
continue to decide POA cases.
Municipal responsibilities for meeting standards will be recognized in formal
agreements between the province and the municipalities. The transfer will start in a
number of municipalities that can meet the province's criteria for the required
financial, technological and administrative infrastructures. Total transfer will be
completed by April, 1999.

BACKGROUNDER
PROVINCIAL OFFENCES ACT
TRANSFER OF RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE MUNICIPAL SECTOR
THE MINISTRY OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL is introducing legislation which will
eliminate waste and duplication and consolidate the administration of provincial
offences, primarily ticketing offences, at one level of government. For example,
administrative processes are duplicated when two offices process a single Certificate
of Offence. With the government's changes, only the municipal office would process
the certificate.
The government is planning to build a new partnership with-municipalities by
transferring certain responsibilities for offences committed under the Provincial
Offences Act and the associated revenue. The POA sets out procedures to be
followed for offences under provincial statutes, municipal by-laws and certain federal
contraventions.
The responsibiliti~s being transferred are:
administrative functions, prosecution and court support for Part I
offences (regulatory ticket offences, except parking, which are only punishable
by fines of up to $500.00);
administrative functions for the remainder of Part II offences - parking tickets -
not currently administered by municipalities (95 percent of parking tickets are
now handled by municipalities); and
only administrative functions for Part III (offences arising from more serious
circumstances or where no set fine exists for the offence). The province will
continue to prosecute Part III offences, which are often more complex and can
result in jail sentences.
People accused of violent crimes should be treated differently than those accused of
minor offences. Allowing municipalities to prosecute minor "ticket type" offences will
enable the province to focus on prosecuting dangerous criminals and more serious
civil matters and may free-up court rooms in the future.
Maintaining Provincial Standards
The province will continue to be responsible for setting standards and monitoring
justice to ensure fair and equal justice province-wide.
.../2
- 2 -
Municipal Partnership Criteria
Municipalities interested in responding to the invitation to participate in the transfer will
be expected to meet specific selection criteria - including readiness and ability to meet
provincial requirements and standards. The operational and legal requirements for the
transfer of responsibilities will be set out in a Memorandum of Understanding between
the Ministry of the Attorney General and each municipality partner.
Fine Revenues
The transfer will create a new revenue source for municipalities, which can be spent
on further improving local services, even after the costs of the transfer is taken into
account.
Victim Fine Surcharge
The province remains committed to victims of crime. This is the government that
passed the Victims' Bill of Rights which enshrined in law a dedicated fund for services
for victims of crime.
The revenue generated from the Victim Fine Surcharge is dedicated to a special fund
used to assist persons who have suffered as a result of a criminal offence anywhere
in the province. The municipalities will be required to pay surcharges to the Victims'
Justice Fund. The province will continue to administer this fund province-wide.
Timing
The transfer of these responsibilities will be undertaken in a staged process. The
initial transfer will start in the spring of 1997 and is expected to be completed by April,

FOR IMMEDIA TE RELEASE
Amended Police Services Act Introduces Taxpayer Fairness
January 14, 1997, TORONTO -- The Honourable Robert Runciman, Solicitor General and
Minister of Correctional Setvices, today introduced amendments to the Police Services Act that
will bring fairness to the way police services are delivered to taxpayers in Ontario.
''It is only fair that everyone make a contribution towards the cost oflocal police service through
their municipal property taxes," said Mr. Runciman. "This government, unlike others, has taken
action to correct the long-standing unfairness of some municipalities directly paying for their
police setvices while others do not."
At this time, 576 municipalities do not pay directly for police setvices while their neighbours are
paying their fair share. An example is that the village of Wheatley, in Kent County, with a
population of 1,557, currently pays directly for their policing, while the District of Muskoka, with
a population of 45,017, currently does not.
"These amendments will reduce waste and duplication and help to ensure effective protection for
Ontario citizens," Mr, Runciman said. "For many years there has been a pressing need to improve
the way policing services are financed. delivered and governed in Ontario."
The amended Act will cut red tape, foster community involvement and allow more local control
over police setvice delivery. "Local governments should make decisions about local services,
while the provincial government must en:;ure province-wide standards of policing and community
safety," said Mr. Runciman. The amendments will return control of police budgets to
municipalities while maintaining a provincial presence on police services boards.
The legislation will cut in half the number of discipline oversight agencies. The new system will
be simplified and more accountable to the public. The Speciallnvestigations Unit will be
maintained to ensure the independent and impartial investigation of cases involving serious injury
or death.
"At the end of the day we will have a modernized, streamlined and simplified oversight system
that is more responsive and accountable to the complainant," said Mr. Runciman
2
A comprehensive review was conducted by the ministry of how police seIVices are structured,
financed and governed. These amendments are the result of the hard work of police, the public
and municipalities. As well, the Emergency Services Sub-panel of the "Who Does What" Panel
provided advice in reducing waste and duplication and an independent review of civilian
oversight of police was conducted

REFORM HIGHLIGHTS
. The revisions to the Police Services Act will ensure effective service delivery; reduce
administrative and operational duplication; flexibty meet current and emerging police service
priorities; and, ensure accountability at both municipal and provincial levels.
. The proposed amendments ensure that all municipalities pay for their own policing. This is
only fair.
. Municipalities will have options for local choice in the delivery of police services in their
community.
. Municipalities are given the authority to ~t police budgets and local police services boards
will be responsible for allocating funds and administering local police services budgets. This
ensures greater accountabitity and control over police services at the local level.
. The appointment authority for police services boards will be altered to enable municipalities to
appoint the majority, and the province to retain a minority number of appointments.
. To facilitate the coordination of police services across municipal boundaries, the establishment
of joint police services boards will be permitted in the legislation.
. The legislation introduces five new core police functions: crime prevention, law enforcement,
assistance to victims of crime, maintenance of public safety, and emergency response.
Adequacy standards will be developed by regulation to ensure that communities throughout
the province will have adequate and effective policing to meet their needs.
. The Police Oversight system will be streamlined and simptified to ensure an accountable and
efficient system responding to a civilian authority over police. The system will be more
accountable, with a 30 day initial response time set for public complaints.
. The new Police Oversight model will encourage issues to be resolved at a local level, while
preserving the provincial role in ensuring police accountability in matters of public trust and
safety_
2
. The independence and impartiality of serious investigations will be maintained through the
continuation of the Special Investigations Unit (SIU), which will remain under the jurisdiction
of the Ministry of the Attorney General.

. Under the Police Services Act. all municipalities are responsible_for providing adequate and
effective police services in accordance with their needs.
. Exemptions in the current Police Services Act have resulted in 576 municipalities
(representing approximately 15% of the Province's population) being policed by the OPP
without any direct cost to the municipality. Consequently, some municipalities pay for police
services through property taxes (representing 85% ofthe province's population) while others
do not, resulting in unfairness in the financing of police services across the Province.
. Currently, the province pays for the provision of opp services in these 576 municipatities. At
the same time, there are 202 municipalities that are responsible for paying their police services
through local municipal property taxes. The Police Services Act must be amended to treat all
taxpayers fairly.
. The proposed legislation will require all municipalities to pay for their own policing as of
January I, 1998. Implementation requires amendments to the Police Services Act, the
Regional Municipalities Act. and the District Municipality of Muskoka Act.
. The 576 municipalities currently not paying will pay for the opp services that their community
uses. This will be determined by the local detachment and will relate directly to the actual
workload generated in each municipality. The method for determining the actual amounts
owed by municipalities for police services provided by the OPP, and the time and manner in
which payments are to be made, will be prescribed in regulation,
. Consistent with the principle of fairness in financing, the Ministry is also amending the police
Services Act to allow for the recovery of costs for investigative services and support services
provided by the OPP (e.g., technical traffic collision investigation, underwater search and
rescue, tactical teams, explosives disposal).
.
2
. To ensure that this amendment does not prevent municipal police services, especially smaller
police services, from seeking assistance of the OPP when required. the decision whether to
recover the costs associated \\~th investigative services will be considered on a case by case
basis and the recovery of those costs will be at the discretion of the Solicitor General.
· The changes are consistent \\ith the "Who Does What Panel's" recommendation that the
province should introduce full cost recovery for policing services provided by the OPP to
municipalities that currently do not pay.

The Municipal Role:
. Under the Police Services Act, municipalities are provided with options to give them more
flexibility in how they are to meet their obligation to provide police services. A municipality
may:
. have its own police service;
. amalgamate its police service with one or more other services;
. share police services with one or more other municipalities;
. create a joint police service board with one or more other municipalities;

. Police services boards will remain as the civilian governing authority of police services in
Ontario. The same number of members will comprise a police services board in a particular
community (3 members for a municipal population ofless than 25,000; 5 for a population over
25,000; and 7 for a population exceeding 300,000).
. The appointment authority for police services boards will be altered. Municipalities will
appoint the majority. In addition to the existing municipal council representative(s), a
municipality will appoint a community representative, who is not an elected official or
employee of the municipality. The province will retain a minority number of appointments,
. Municipalities are given authority to set police budgets. Municipalities that pav for police
services from municipal property taxes will have the ultimate ~ in financial matters.
. Police services boards will be responsible for allocating the funds and administering the budget
for police services.
2
. The "Who Does What Panel" concluded "elected municipal officials are accountable for
money raised through municipal taxes and should therefore have a greater measure of control
over the costs of providing police services within their community" ",., Increased municipal
control over police budgets would ensure increased fiscal accountability to the taxpayer. This
could be achieved through municipal control over budgets and appointments to police services
boards. "
. To facilitate the coordination of police services across municipal boundaries, the legislation
allows for the establishment of joint police services boards.
. Municipalities, who are provided police service by the OPP other than by contract, may
establish a community policing advisory conunittee. The conunittee will advise the OPP
detachment commander of the community's objectives and priorities for the local delivery of
services.
· Existing OPP contract locations will be required to establish a police services board upon
contract renewal. Any new OPP contract locations will be required to establish a police
services board.
The Provincial Role:
· The "Who Does What Panel" recognized that the Province, in exercising its statutory
mandate, has a constitutional responsibility for oversight and regulation of policing, including
the issue of adequate levels of police service.
· The Panel called on the Province to establish core functions that must be provided by a police
service and minimum adequacy standards for effective and cost-efficient police service
delivery. Both recommendations have been adopted.
· These legislative amendments ensure adequate and effective police service delivery consistent
with the five core police functions: crime prevention, law enforcement, assistance to victims
of crime, maintenance <;>f public safety, and emergency response. These core elements ensure
that all Ontarians will have policing that adequately meets the needs of their community.
Adequacy standards will be developed by regulation.
· The existing appeal mechanism to the Ontario Civilian Conunission on Police Services
(OCCPS) relating to adequacy and budget by the police services board will continue.
Similarly, the Solicitor General may request OCCPS to conduct a hearing into matters of
adequacy of a police service, consistent with the statutory mandate of his office for ensuring
public safety.

. Since 1974 a number of issues identified by the Task Force have persisted, and new ones
have arisen. These issues include service adequacy, cost-effectiveness and efficiency of police
services, service delivery, unfairness in police financing, duplication of services, financial
pressures on municipalities, oversight and governance of police services.
. A review of recent reports from other jurisdictions in Canada and current police legislation in
other Provinces was analyzed by the Ministry working group as part of the review process.
. On December 21, 1995, the Solicitor General announced a comprehensive review of police
services with the focus on how police services are structured, financed and governed. The
overall goal of the review was to improve the cost-efficiency and effectiveness of police
service delivery and to enhance public safety in Ontario by:
. providing more effective and cost-efficient service delivery;
. ensuring that all municipalities contribute to the cost of police service in their
communities;
. providing greater fiscal accountability at the local level;
. providing police services with greater flexibility in deploying resources;
. reducing administrative and operational overlap and duplication; and
. ensuring adequate levels of policing throughout all parts of the province.
2
· The review examined issues related to the following:
. financing of police ser-. ices,
. structure and organization of police ser-.ices;
. policing functions:
· adequacy of police ser-.ices.
. civilian governance of police services; and
. civilian oversight of police services.
· In June 1996, the Solicitor General hosted a two-day Police Summit to seek input from key
police and municipal stakeholders on issues related to the future of policing in Ontario. The
Ministry also released a discussion paper to key police and municipal stakeholders in May
1996 entitled, "Review of Police Services in Ontario: A Framework for Discussion."
· The Summit was attended by representatives from the followingl1olice and municipal
associations:
· Ontario Association of Police Services Boards
· Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police
· Police Association of Ontario
· Ontario Senior Officers' Police Association
· Association of Municipalities of Ontario
· Following the Police Summit the Solicitor General held further, more focused consultations
with police and municipal stakeholders. A working committee comprised of ministry officials
and representatives from the associations who participated at the summit was established.
The working committee completed its work at the end of August 1996. The input from these
stakeholders provided the ministry with a framework from which the Police Services Act
amendments have been developed,
. The ~Who Does What Panel" established by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing in
May 1996, has also made recommendations in the areas of police finance and governance,
· In October 1996, the Solicitor General and Attorney General announced the independent
review of civilian oversight of police. The review has since been released and provided the
Solicitor General with recommendations on how to achieve a simpler, more efficient and more
effective civilian oversight system for police.

POLICE OVERSIGHT
The Current Oversight System:
. The current Police Services Act provides for five distinct and mutually exclusive processes to
deal with different aspects of public accountability and performance management in the
delivery of police services. These are:
(1) internal discipline within the individual police service~ including local
and provincial levels of appeal;
(2) the Office of the Police Complaints Commissioner (MAG) provides a process
by which members of the general public can proceed with a complaint against a
police officer, including a trial and appellate tribunal;
(3) the Ontario Civilian Commission on Police Services (MSGCS) which renders
approvals, provides dispute resolution, arbitrates and holds hearings into matters
such as management conduct and institutional standards;
(4) the Special Investigations Unit (MAG) uses "civilian" investigators to establish
whether criminal liability attaches to police officer conduct which has resulted in
"serious injury or death"; and
(5) local collective bargaining with no right to strike but compulsory conciliation and
arbitration.
. This system currently cost taxpayers almost $8 million annually.
. The attached chart sets out the current cumbersome and costly police oversight system.
The Case for Change:
. During the Review of Policing, stakeholders identified a need to eliminate duplication and
overlap in police oversight.
.. Currently, the oversight responsibility is divided among local police chiefs and police services
boards, the Divisional Court, two provincial ministries, two quasi-judicial tribunals and three
primary oversight agencies. The result has been a reactive and disjointed approach to policy
development and legislation of police oversight, and it fails in many respects to foster an
efficient, coordinated approach to attaining excellence in the delivery of police services in
Ontario.
"',." .
2
The New Police Oversight Model:
. The following are the main components of the new streamlined model of police oversight:
(1) the Special Investigations Unit will continue as a separate oversight agency with
responsibility for overseeing police conduct resulting in serious injury or death.
This agency will continue to be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry ofthe
Attorney General;
(2) a greater ability for issues to be resolved at a local level, while still preserving the
provincial role in ensuring police accountability in matters of public trust and
safety;
(3) the Ontario Ci,ilian Commission on Police Services, the Office of the Police
Complaints Commissioner and the Board ofInquiry will be replaced by a single
oversight agency called the Ontario Civilian Commission on Police Services which
will be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Solicitor General and
Correctional Services:
(4) the "new" Ontario Civilian Commission on Police Services will have a broad range
of responsibilities including the current responsibilities of the existing Ontario
Civilian Commission on Police Services, as well as, the following additional
oversight responsibilities:
. appellate function from the disposition oflocal oversight matters;
. review role for all public complaints that are dealt with locally
and not resolved to the satisfaction of the public complainant;
. on its own motion, conduct inquiries respecting complaints
(5) merges the current complaint and discipline systems into one streamlined and
simplified system;
(6) there are transitional provisions to deal with disciplinary proceedings and public
complaints which are not resolved by the time these amendments come into effect,
How To File A Complaint Under the New Process:
. The legislation provides a simplified and accessible means of filing a complaint. A
complainant only needs to write a letter, there are no prescribed forms, and delivery can be via
mail, fax, in person or by an agent to either a police station or detachment of the relevant
police service or to the new Ontario Civilian Commission on Police Services. The system will
be more accountable with a 30-day initial response time set for public complaints.
. Ministry will provide information regarding the public complaints process, making it available
to community agencies and the public.
. Attached is a chart which sets out the details of the new streamlined model of police
oversight.

History of Consultation and Review on Police Oversight:
. On December 21,1995, the Solicitor General announced a comprehensive review ofthe
structure and financing of police services in Ontario.
. A Discussion Paper was released to the police and municipal stakeholders, as well as, all
Caucus members, on May 2, 1996. The purpose of the Discussion Paper was to obtain
stakeholder input on a range of issues, including police oversight.
. In June 1996, as part of the review of police services, the Solicitor General hosted a two-day
Police Summit to seek input from police and municipal stakeholders on the future of police
service delivery in Ontario. Potice oversight was one of the issues discussed.
~ Following the Summit, during the months of July and August 1996, the Solicitor General held
further, more focused consultations with representatives from the. police and municipal
stakeholder associations on issues raised at the Summit, including police oversight.
. During the above discussions, both police and municipal stakeholders identified a critical need
to delayer and streamline the current system of police oversight.
. Police and municipal stakeholders agreed that the system of civilian oversight of police
activity must be credible, fair, objective, transparent and open with levels of accountability
that are understandable and which have the confidence of both the police and the general
public.
. The stakeholders believe that, where possible, oversight should be anchored at the local level.
. Finally, police and municipal stakeholders recommended that there continue to be a separate
oversight agency with responsibility for dealing with conduct of a police officer which has
resulted in serious injury or death (i.e., the Special Investigations Unit.)
. In addition to the above discussions, on October 9, 1996, the government commissioned
Roderick McLeod, Q.C. to conduct a wider consultation on the issue of police oversight - this
consultation included community groups. Mr. McLeod released his recommendations on
December 2, 1996.

Report of the Water Strategy Task Force
The Regional Municipality of York
REPORT NO.6 OF THE REGIONAL
WATER STRATEGY TASK FORCE
For Consideration by
The Council of The Regional Municipality of York
on December 19, 1996
1
PREFERRED SOLUTION
LONG TERM WATER SUPPLY STRATEGY
The Water Strategy Task Force recommends the adoption of the following
report, December 5, 1996, from the Chief Atlm;n;6trative Officer, subject to
Recommendation No.2 and No.3 being revised to now read as follows:
"2. the steering committee bring forward a report by January 31, 1997 which
outlines the structural organization to proceed and financial alternatives.
8. the steering committee report back by January 81, 1997 on the future
partnership arrangements with Consumers Utilities."
1. Recommendations
It is recommended that:
1. the preferred solution as set out in the attached report entitled "Selection of
the Preferred Solution", dated December U, 1996, be approved as Council's
strategy for meeting the Region's water supply needs;
2. the steering committee bring forward a report early in 1997 which outlines
the structural and financial alternatives; and
3. the steering committee report back early in 1997 on the future partnership
arrangements with Consumer's Utilities.

APPENDIX "An
Report of the Water Strategy Task Force

Background
3.
The work plan for the Long Term Water Supply Strategy Study, as approved by
Council on May 23, 1996, established December 1996 as the target date for making
a decision on the preferred solution to meet the Region's long term water supply
needs. In keeping with that target, the attached report outlines the recommended
preferred solution and the detailed methodology used in evaluating the options. The
report was prepared by the project steering committee which was comprised of J.
Southworth and P. Davies from Consumers Utilities, and N. Embree and A. Wells
from the Region. The steering r.ommittee was responsible for overseeing the project
and maintaining the schedule.
The steering committee believes that the recommended preferred solution is the best
technical solution for York Region and that the criteria and weightings used in its
selection reflect the opinions of the public as determined through the public
participation process. Public comment was obtained through open houses held in
July and November, 1996 and through a separate public polling exercise which was
conducted in August.
The criteria which were used in determining the preferred solution are as follows:
1. Secure water to continue the Region's future growth
2. Rate stability and cost minimization
3. Financibility
4. Protection of the environment
5. Independence
6. Reliability of supply
7. Source of supply
8. Economic benefits to the Region
High level screening indicated that four of the nine external supply options
identified in the October 24, 1996 reports were inferior to the other five. These four
were not considered further. Each of the five remaining options was subject to a
detailed evaluation. The options were first assessed and scored based on the above
noted criteria and then compared using a multi-criteria ranking model. The model
used several different sets of weighted criteria and a sensitivity analysis. The
detailed methodology and conclusions from the evaluation are set out in the
attached report.
Preferred Solution
The preferred solution as set out in the steering committee report is a phased
strategy comprising four steps. The first three are necessary to bridge the gap
between now and 2004, when a new external supply can be made available, and are
common to all external supply options.

APPENDIX "An
Report of the Water Strategy Task Force
1. The Region should continue to actively pursue a new water supply agreement
with Metro Toronto in order to provide York with an expanded permanent
water supply to service existing development plus the growth projected for
the next 6 - 8 years. The revised agreement should address capital cost
contributions from York to Metro for improvements to Metro's supply and
distribution system and a rate setting methodology that will closely follow
the one that was used in setting the 1997 water supply rate for the Region.
2 The Region should initiate a water-use efficiency program. The work done to
date on leakage and unaccounted for water detection and control has
indicated a potential savings in water production of 3 - 4 million gallons per
day. Since this is a low cost alternative relative to other ways of providing
additional water quantity, it should be aggressively and immediately
pursued. The program should be well co-ordinated with the area
municipalities since the major effort will be required at the local distribution
level.
3. A new Lake Simcoe-based water treatment plant is needed. The Class
Environmental Assessment for a new water treatment plant to replace the
one in Sutton has already been carried out to the end of phase II. This
plant, together with the existing Keswick water plant, would provide
sufficient capacity to service the planned expansion of the Sutton community,
as well as for the Willow Beach area. Development of this water treatment
has not yet been pursued, pending a decision on the long term water supply
strategy.
4. The Region should develop a new Great Lakes supply from Lake Ontario via
the Durham (West) option. This option, in the steering committee's view,
best satisfies the selection criteria according to the evaluation methodology
set out in their report.
The Durham (West) option has been conceived and costed based on the assumption
of being developed independently. The major components would be. a new Lake
Ontario intake, located in Pickering, between .Frenchman's Bay and the eastern
Metropolitan Toronto boundary, a shoreline or near shore pumping station (possibly
underground), and a transmission main to a treatment facility in York Region.
This option, however, could be modified to accommodate Durham Region needs. To
date, Durham has not identified such needs, but has indicated interest in York
Region's Environmental Assessment process and the evaluation of water supply
servicing options which may be of long term benefit to Durham Region.
Continued, and possibly expanded, use of Lake Simcoe is also common to all
external supply options. Implementation of the recommended long term solution
will therefore result in York Region's external water supply source being Lake
Ontario, co-operatively through Metropolitan Toronto, and independently through
1844
APPENDIX "A"
Report of the Water Strategy Task Force
Durham, while, internally, groundwater and Lake Simcoe will continue as
significant sources.
4. StructurallFinancial Alternatives
The work plan implied that structural and financial alternatives would be
recommended at this time. As the project progressed, however, it became clear that
the nature of the preferred solution would dictate the appropriateness of some of the
alternatives.
Presentations have been made to the Water Strategy Task Force and to Regional
Council in order to outline the scope of the alternatives. A detailed report outlining
the options for consideration will be presented to the Task Force early in 1997.
5. Consumers Utilities
The agreement between York Region and Consumers Utilities set out the respective
roles and responsibilities for a period of up to one year.
Having now reached the milestone of identifying the preferred solution, it is
appropriate to examine the ongoing relationship between the Region and Consumers
Utilities. It is recommended that the steering committee report back early in 1997
on the future partnership arrangements both for the interim and in the long term.
6. Conclusions
This report sets out recommendations of the Long Term Water Steering Committee
resulting from an extensive analysis offive options. The steering committee believes
that the recommended preferred solution is the best technical solution for York
Region, based on the technical evaluation as well as public input. Based on the
evaluation as set out in the steering committee's report, the solution that best
satisfies the criteria is "Independent Durham-West I Expanded Metro co-operative I
Lake Simcoe! Groundwater."
In order to bridge the gap until a new external supply is implemented, three
measures are recommended: negotiate a new agreement with Metro to provide York
Region with a permanent expanded water supply that will accommodate existing
development plus growth for the next 6-8 years, initiate a water use efficiency
program in York Region and construct a new Lake Simcoe-based water plant.
In addition, the report recommends that the issues of structural/financial
alternatives and the future partnership arrangements between the Region and
Consumer's Utilities be the subject of reports early in 1997.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Background
Since May 1996, the York Region/Consumers Utilities Partnership has
undertaken a considerable amount of study and consultation in the search
for possible alternative solutions to meet the long-term water needs of the
Region. An initial range of alternative solutions was presented to Regional
Council on July 11, 1996 and this was followed by presentations to the nine
area municipalities, three open houses in. the Region, and notification to
relevant agencies. Meetings also took place with various ministries,
adjacent municipalities and other regulators. No new alternatives were
introduced and all solutions were then evaluated in terms of cost and
environmental impacts.
Details of the evaluation studies were published following the presentation
to Regional Council on October 24, 1996. Since this date, further
consultation has taken place, including more public open-houses, further
presentations to update area municipal councils and further agency
notification. In addition, all evaluation materials have been made freely
available to the public in the Long Term Water Project office based at the
Region in Newmarket.

The consultation period closed on December 6, 1996 which allowed
approximately six weeks for interested parties to make any comments that
they felt were necessary in respect of the alternative solutions. One
significant comment was for Lake Simcoe to be used as a carrier of water
from Georgian Bay. This possibility has been examined but will not be
pursued any further because of cost and environmental factors.
Criteria for Selection
In addition to specific commentary, all attendees at the November public
open-houses were invited to complete a questionnaire which asked for
opinions on the ranking of selection criteria. This exercise supplemented the
previous exercise in the July open houses and the polling of residents in the
Region. The results of these have been utilized in the selection of the
preferred solution.

The selection criteria, which are discussed later in more detail, have been
based on the Region's 'Statement of Goals' outlined in the Request for
Proposals and have been supplemented by further criteria which have been
determined to have relevance.

The Preferred Solution
It is recommended that the expansion of supplies to the Region be viewed
as a phased strategy comprising four steps.
1. Finalize the Metro Agreement
The first step,' involves the continuation of the expansion of water supplies
from Metro Toronto to 57 MIGD (average day). This will provide a bridge
until 2004 and will support the Region's growth needs until then. The
Partnership can pursue opportunities to mitigate the required investments in
conjunction with Metro to provide an optimal agreement between York and
Metro Regions. Amounts up to 57 MIGD (average day) are technically
relatively easy to secure from the Metro system, but higher quantities are
considered problematic.
I
I
I
)
I
)
2. Implement Water-Use Efficiency Program
The second step, a water-use efficiency program, will produce up to 4
MIGD. This step should occur at an early date in order to make immediate
cost savings for the Region and its area municipalities as well as to defer
capital expenditures. The cooperation and support of the area municipalities
is required for this step.

3. Construct a New Water Treatment Facility at Lake Simcoe
The third step is the construction of a new water treatment facility III
Georgina. This is a required step which needs early attention to ensure the
continued growth in the Town of Georgina and to replace the Sutton
Filtration Plant which is nearing the end of its useful life. This solution
could also provide up to an additional 20 MIGD to feed other areas to the
south of the Region but this will need further discussion with various
regulators, members of the Great Lakes Charter and other stakeholders.
r"
4. A Great Lakes Source of Supply
The fourth step, a supply from the Great Lakes, involves taking a supply
from Lake Ontario via the Durham (West) solution in order to meet the
2031 demand forecast of 210 MIGD (maximum day). This was derived
from the "Multi criterion Ranking" exercise. Given the uncertainty of the
timing of growth, commitment to the fourth step needs very careful
consideration as it is the most capital intensive of the four steps. The scale
of this project may vary due to a number of factors including; the potential
for additional supplies from Lake Simcoe which could feed areas south of
Georgina and, the possibility of implementing the Durham (West) solution
cooperatively with Durham Region.

Finally, it is recommended that a second option be retained for a Great
Lakes Source of supply. This option, Peel Cooperative, could be introduced
if it became apparent that the bridging period was being exhausted without
significant progress being made on the Durham (West) option due to
unforeseen circumstances. A [mal decision on this second option could be
held for one year after which time progress on the preferred option could be
reviewed and the decision on the long term water SUpply strategy can be
revisited if necessary.

NOVEMBER PUBLIC OPEN HOUSES SUMMARY
One hundred and sixty-nine people attended three public meetings III
November, 1996, at which the York Region/Consumers Utilities Partnership
presented information about the long-term water supply system alternatives
being evaluated. Attendees expressed a high degree of satisfaction with the
day, time and location of the meetings and with the helpfulness of the staff
in attendance. They expressed a moderate degree of satisfaction with the
information displays.

Fifty-nine attendees at the meetings completed a questionnaire through
which they expressed their opinions. The questionnaire included a summary
. of information about the water supply system alternatives being evaluated,
so that all respondents had the benefit of a minimum level of information
upon which to base their responses. Highlights of the responses were:
· Georgian Bay and Lake Ontario are' equally preferred as
primary water sources, and both are considered preferable to
Lake Simcoe as a water source;
· a cooperative system is preferred over a fully independent
system;

· ensuring the reliability of water quality and quantity is the most
important factor to consider when designing the long-term
water supply system, followed by stability of water rates,
protection of the environment and stability of development
charges.
A number of additional system design factors and other comments were
made in the questionnaire responses. These are listed in the report.
However, caution should be exercised in .the interpretation of the results
because of the relatively small sample size attending the meetings. The open
house results should not therefore be viewed as statistically representative.

REVIEW AGENCIES
The York Region/Consumers Utilities Partnership has been fully aware of
the need to keep all relevant agencies notified of progress with the long-
term water strategy Phase II EA activities. Accordingly, every effort has
been made to comply with the Class EA notification requirements. However
further to the mandatory communications, an additional n.otification step
was taken in July of this year in which various agencies were advised of the
Partnership's preliminary considerations in respect of the pipeline routings
and water sources which were to be examined.
i~,
,
Meetings were also held with, or presentations given to, the following
agencies and interested parties in order to provide the opportunity for
discussion and comments:
· Ministry of Environment and Energy
· Ministry of Natural Resources
· Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing
(Office for the Greater Toronto Area)
· Ontario Hydro
· Orillia Water Light and Power

Staff from these ministries attended at the York Region offices to meet with
Partnership staff on 4 December, 1996 to discuss their views on the project.
Significant comments included: the view that if a solution from Georgian
Bay was preferred then the burden of proof would be on York Region to
present an "overwhelming" case in support of this option compared to the
other alternatives still under consideration. P~ovincial representatives also
referred to relevant matters contained in the Provincial Policy Statement
(1996) that must be addressed.

A comprehensive list of agencies which have been notified is attached in the
appendix together with a copy of all their written responses.
The potential intra-basin transfer of water within the Great Lakes Basin
appears to offer the most significant obstacle. The issue has been
highlighted federally, provincially, by the Lake Simcoe Region
Conservation Authority, and by others as well.
Written responses have been received from two upper tier adjacent
municipalities, the Region of Durham and the County of Simcoe. Durham
Region Council adopted a recommendation which provides:
"
"That the Region of Durham indicate interest in York Region's
Class Environmental Assessment process and the evaluation of
water supply sourcing options which may be of long term
benefit to Durham Region. "
Simcoe County Council passed the following motion on November 26,
1996:
"That the County of Simcoe support the efforts of the Towns of
Collingwood and New Tecumseth to research the feasibility of
supply surface water from Georgian Bay to south Simcoe, and
that the County of Simcoe participate in the long term
examination of the feaSibility of supplying water to users
outside Simcoe County. "

LONG TERM WATER STRATEGY
SELECTION PROCESS
Primary Evaluation Criteria
The primary evaluation criteria used to select the preferred alternative to
complete Phase II of the EA process are contained within the 'Statement of
Goals' prepared by the Region. These are:
· Secure water to continue the Region's future growth
. Water rate stability
· Financing of future infrastructure
· Protection of the environment
A total of nine separate alternative solutions were presented to York Region
on October 24, 1996. The first three of these solutions presented the
opportunity for full independence of the Region with no long-term reliance
on Metro Toronto. At this stage however, it is recommended that no further
detailed consideration be given to these three alternatives as significant
benefits and cost avoidance can be gained by retaining a supply of water
from Metro Toronto. These benefits provide greater reliability of supply to

the Region and for economic supplies in the short term which drive down
overall costs and the related impact upon water rates and development
charges.
It is also recommended that the more easterly of the tWo Lake Ontario
solutions via Durham (Durham East) should receive no further detailed
consideration as little opportunity existed with this particular solution for
cooperative benefits with Durham Region. Furthermore, this alternative
would involve higher capital costs compared to the Durham West solution.
Another complication arises with the Durham East solution when
consideration is given to the potential conflict with the future location of .
Highway 407.
It is proposed therefore that only five of the nine alternative solutions
presented on October 24th, 1996 be evaluated further to arrive at a preferred
solution. All five alternatives are inclusive of a groundwater supply in rural
areas, together with a new water treatment facility in Georgina to replace
the Sutton Filtration Plant to meet Georgina's growth. In addition, all five
solutions are capable of providing the 2031 demand forecast of 21 0 MIGD
(maximum day). The five alternatives evaluated are in Table 1 on the
following page.

In order to provide a simple comparison of these five alternatives, the four
'Statement of Goals' criteria which were described more fully in the RFP as
follows have been used:
Secure Water to Continue Region's Future Growth
The Region anticipates securing sufficient short term water supplies from
an expansion of an existing water agreement with Metropolitan Toronto.
The amount of water available from the Metro system is limited to 57
MIGD (which allows for 97 MIGD maximum day). It is estimated this
volume will satisfY the Region's demands for a period of about six years.
The Region therefore requires additional water to allow it to continue to
grow well into the twenty-first century.

(Water) Rate Stability and Cost Minimization
In developing its long-term water supply, the Region views rate stability
and cost minimization to be key objectives. The Region prefers to work
cooperatively with its neighbours in the Greater. Toronto Area ('GTA ')
and/or Simcoe County to the mutual benefit of all.
Financing of Future Infrastructure
The Region desires that the financing of infrastructure required for a
long-term water supply should not significantly infiuence the existing
credit rating of the Region and the ability of the Region to undertake other
capital expenditures.
Protection of the Environment
In developing a long-term water supply, the Partnership must be sensitive
to the environment and must meet or exceed all relevant guidelines,
policies and standards. The Partnership will be responsible for developing
a sqfe, efficient and environmentally sound facility.
Of the five solutions referred to in Table 1, all can be regarded as satisfying
these basic screening criteria to a greater or lesser degree.

In order to fully compare the merits of each of the five technical solutions, a
comprehensive ranking mechanism was derived which compared the four
'Statement of Goals' criteria referred to earlier. The ranking of these four
criteria was done as follows:
(i) Secure water to continue the Region's future growth
Those solutions which best avoid the risk of legislative or
cooperative agreement delays or a lengthy approvals process
are ranked highest as these best ensure uninterrupted growth
for the Region. Given the most recent demand forecast, a new
supply is required to be on stream by 2004 when it is
anticipated that the Metro supply could be reaching the
maximum day limit of 97 MIGD at that time. It has been
assumed that all solutions will be developed in a manner
which ensures reliability of supply from a technical
perspective.
(ii) (Water) Rate stability
Those solutions which have the potential to reduce the
wholesale water rate (in 1996$ tenns) by the highest amounts
without any short tenn price peaks are ranked highest as these
give the greatest opportunity for rate stability. The wholesale
water rates derived from the financial modeling process were
used to provide a ranking.

(iii) Financing of future infrastructure
The cost of expansion is recovered primarily from
development charges. Timing differences between capital
expenditures and collection of development charges result in
a need for a significant amount of financing. Those solutions
which have the least impact on required development charges
and where the development charge is least sensitive to change
in demand, interest rates etc. were ranked the highest. These
solutions are the easiest to finance and will have the least
impact on credit ratings and borrowing capacity. A consensus
from the members of the Partnership's financial working
group was obtained to provide the ranking.
(iv) Protection ofthe environment
Those solutions which -have the least impact on the natural,
social and economic environment, identified through the
Environmental Assessment inventory of constraints, are
ranked highest.

Other Criteria and Public Opinion
Other criteria have emerged since the beginning of the evaluation process
and these have been incorporated into the ranking process. Therefore, in
addition to the four criteria outlined above, the range has been extended to
eight in order to address the following:
· Independence
· Reliability of supply
· Source of supply
· Economic benefits to the Region
These additional criteria are defined as follows:
(v) Independence. The proportion of water to be sourced from
York Region or facilities owned by the Partnership (in whole
or part) expressed as a percentage of total water supplied. The
solutions with highest proportions of independently produced
water will have the highest ranking.

(vii) Source of supply. This criterion measures preference for
sourcing of supplies from particular locations. The preference
may vary in extent from a desire to receive a supply from a
specific source to indifference on sourcing, given that
drinking water quality will be consistent irrespective of
source. Ranking of sources was in accordance with views
expressed from the public open-houses and from the
statistically valid public input.
(Yiii) Economic benefits to the Region. Two aspects can be
considered here; first the value of work on any solution which
takes place within the Region and second, the price elasticity
effects of development charges and their impact on Regional
growth. Highest ranking solutions are those which provide
greatest benefits on these two aspects.
Varying views on the importance (weightings) of some criteria have
emerged from completed open-house questionnaires and statistically valid
public input.

Multicriterion Ranking
Rationalizing the conflict between environmental, economic, social and
other objectives is a challenge that constantly confronts decision makers in
planning. Selection of a water supply scheme is an example of such a
challenge in which a decision-support tool is required to provide a
mathematical basis for ranking different alternatives and choosing the best
overall water supply scheme (considering all relevant objectives). The
evaluation process is complex due to the number of objectives which are
non-commensurable (expressed in different units) and which often conflict
with each other.
Compromise among the conflicting objectives often leads to significant cost
savings as well as qualitative benefits such as improved system reliability,
reduced environmental impact, fewer problems related to supply, and
shorter project installation times. The Compromise Progriunming technique
has been successfully used in many water resources applications.
In order to address the complex problem of ranking the solutions utilizing
the above eight criteria, the Partnership made use of a Compromise
Programming technique called Multicriterion Ranking (MCR). This
technique is capable of comparing all criteria, provided that weightings are
16
I

LONG TERM WATER PROJECT
Consumers
Utilities ..:::--.
given to each and then deriving a preferred solution which best meet
expectations. MCR will also allow the weightings of the various criteria to
be adjusted across a range to test their sensitivity on the chosen solutions.
To determine the weightings, the Partnership polled four groups for their
views. The groups were:
· the Steering Committee of the Long Term Water Project
· the questionnaire results obtained from the November Public
Open Houses, attended by approximately 169 persons
· a panel of experts comprised of representatives of the
engineering, environmental, financial, and legal consultants
retained by the Partnership.
The criteria weights obtained from the groups are shown in Table 3. Note
that two sets of weightings were provided by the Steering Committee. The
weights in "Steering Committee 2" featured an adjustment in the weight
assigned to "independence" to test the sensitivity of this factor. The table
presents the ranking of each Long Term Water project solution, as
determined through the Multicriterion Ranking process.

The Preferred Solution
'" 1"-
I
Technical
The preferred solution to the Region's long-term water needs should be
capable of meeting all of the Region's goals and ensuring that long-term
growth needs are met The Region currently uses approximately 51 MIGD
(average day). In 2031, it is estimated that the Region will need an average
day supply of 103 MIGD (an additional 52 MIGD). In the short-term and
covering the first eight years, a bridgin~ strategy of utilizing additional
supplies from Metro Toronto (to a total of 57 MIGD average day and 97
MIGD maximum day) together with water-use efficiency programs will
allow growth to occur as forecast in the Region's Official Plan. If growth
exceeds this forecast then obviously the bridging period is commensurately
reduced.
i
The growth in capacity of the Region's system to meet the urban demand
forecast is illustrated in Figure 2. In addition, the projected requirements of
the rural communities and groundwater usage are displayed in Figure 3.
Since 1995, the Region of York and Metro Toronto have been working
cooperatively towards increasing the Metro supply contract with York
Region to 57 MIGD (average day). A supply of 57 MIGD is known to be

achievable through the Metro system with a total capital contribution from
York Region of $103 million. While the original agreement with Metro
explicitly limited the supply to 30 MIGD, engineering reports and hydraulic
modeling contemplated a supply in the order of 57 MIGD average day
(maximum day 97 MIGD). Consequently, there is certainty over the ability
of the Metro system to provide 57 MIGD to York Region. It is conceivable
that the Metro system may be. capable of providing water supplies beyond
the 57 MIGD with further capital construction. However, Metro not
indicated an interest in providing additional volumes to York Region
beyond the 57 MIGD (average day).
(i) Finalize the Metro agreement.
Expansion of the Metro Toronto supply to the Region forms the
first step of four steps towards meeting the Region's long-term
needs. This work is already underway and will eventually
provide 57 MIGD average day and 97 MIGD maximum day.

The expansion of water supplies to the Region, which will include a new
supply from the Great Lakes, should be viewed as a phased strategy which
comprises four steps.

(ii) Implement a water use efficiency progrl!-m.
A water-use efficiency program, will produce savings of up to
four million gallons per day. This step should occur at an early
date in order to make immediate cost savings for the Region and
its area municipalities as well as to defer capital expenditures.
The support of the area municipalities is required for this step.
(iii) Construct a new water treatment facility at Lake Simcoe.
The construction of a new water treatment facility in Georgina
which takes its supply from Lake Simcoe is a required step
which needs early attention in order to ensure the continued
growth in Georgina. In addition, it will allow the replacement of
the Sutton Filtration Plant which is nearing the end of its useful
life. This step could also gain economies of scale through the
construction of a larger water treatment facility which is capable
of meeting the needs of Georgina and providing a further 5
MIGD to Newmarket. This further 5 MIGD will potentially be
an intra-basin transfer but should not invoke the higher levels of
consultation required by the Great Lakes Charter. However, the
provision of additional supplies from Lake Simcoe must not be
to the detriment of progress to meet Georgina's immediate
needs.

An additional 20 MIGD above the needs of Georgina could
possibly be obtained from Lake Simcoe but in order to fully
determine an allowable withdrawal from Lake Simcoe, it will be
necessary to enter into further discussions with the appropriate
regulators, members of the Great Lakes Charter and other
stakeholders. These discussions should commence immediately
as the scale of the fourth step could be reduced depending upon
the amount of water supplied from Lake Simcoe. Additionally,
for volumes of water greater than 10 MIGD it would be
economical to introduce this water further south in the Region
and therefore provide an extension to the bridging period.
(iv) A Great Lakes source of supply.
The fourth step requires taking a new supply from the Great
Lakes. The preferred solution is a supply from Durham West and
this is shown on the map in Figure 3. This choice best meets the
initial criteria which were established by the Region in their
'Statement of Goals' as well as being ranked first in the
additional criteria. Durham West has further advantages in that it
provides a significant opportunity for mutually beneficial
cooperation with the Region of Durham as the area known as
Seaton and other areas to. the west of Durham

are developed. It is also relevant that the Region has existing
relationships with Durham through the operation of the Y ork-
Durham sewer.
Given the uncertainty of growth within the Region, the timing of
commitment to the fourth step needs very careful consideration
as it is the most capital intensive of the four steps and therefore
subject to the highest risk. In addition, the scale of this step may
vary and be dependent upon the volume of water ultimately
derived from the three initial steps of the Long Term Water
Supply Strategy.
. I~"
:
The bridging period is obviously variable. Therefore, to obtain
the necessary approvals, discussions with regulators, Ministries
and other stakeholders should commence immediately. This
period, if compared with other similar projects in Ontario, could
be as long as six years and with a fast-track two year
construction program may require up to eight years before water
can be brought to the Region from a Great Lakes source.
However it is the Partnership's opinion that consultation and
approvals for the Durham West solution could be obtained in
four years.

The fourth step oftaking a supply from purham West could run
into difficulties through unforeseen events and therefore a
second alternative would need to be introduced if the bridging
period was being exhausted without significant progress being
made. It is therefore recommended that a second option of Peel
Cooperative be held in reserve. This option is also viewed as a
good partnering option with another Region.

From a financial perspective, the actual level of water rates and
development charges depend on a variety of variables including demand for
water, growth rates, interest rates, inflation levels, capital and operating
costs, purchased water costs, commercial structure and allocation of capital
costs between development charges and water rates.
While the assumptions could change over time, the same criteria and
assumptions were used to model each technical solution. This modeling
resulted in Durham West being the preferred solution from an overall
financial perspective.

The water rate in 2031 of an expanded York Region water system
encompassing supply from Durham West is forecast to decline significantly
in 1996 dollar terms from the current uniform rate. The nominal water rate
in 2031 will depend on the inflation rate over the period. It is expected that
a new water supply from Durham West will require a modest one time
increase in development charges in 1996 dollar terms as indicated in Table
2 (plus currently scheduled increases in the non-residential development
charge) followed by inflationary increases thereafter.
1-
During the timeframe required to implement a new water supply from
Durham West, the Partnership will seek the optimum balance between water
rate, development charges and risk transfer from the Region to Consumers
Utilities after which a specific financing structure could be put in place.

Att: Maureen Reid
The Big Brothers of Clarington is holding a "Bowl for Millions"
campaign during the week of February 15 to 22, 1996.
The Board of Directors and the Bowl for Millions Committee request
that the Municipal Council proclaim this week as Bowl for Millions
Week. We would also request permission to fly the Big Brother flag
at the Town Hall in Bowmanville during this campaign.
If Council permits, a convenient time to hold the flag raising
ceremony would be Monday, February 3 at 9:15 a.m. before the
General Purpose and Administration meeting. This would allow time
for publicity to be prepared for the local newSpapers before the
Bowl for Millions Week.
You may notify the agency of the Council's decision by calling 623-
6646, or at the above address. We will contact the newspapers to
arrange the pUblicity.
Thank you.

Re: Deposit/Refund System for LCBO Containers
Dear Mayor Diane Hamre:
We are writing to seek your council's suppert for a proposal that will have a positive
impact on municipal waste management programs. We have asked the Province
of Ontario to place deposits on spirit and wine bottles sold by the LCBO, so that
more of their containers can be recovered for refilling and recycling.
Recycling glass bottles through municipal blue box programs has become a
significant problem for many communities. The costs of collection and processing,
the collapsed market value for the material, contamination issues, and distance to
markets, make recycling glass much harder to justify. Rather than landfill these
containers, our company would like to recover these bottles unbroken and market
them to be refilled.
Attached is a copy of our submission to the MOEE's Regulatory Review Project
which details some of the benefits of our proposal. These benefits include:
. providing an alternative source of reasonably priced, diverse, high quality,
beverage containers for domestic vintners;
. developing an export commodity enjoying high demand in foreign markets
among those seeking supplies of reasonably priced wine bottles;
. creating the potential to divert approximately 160 million LeBO containers or
about 70,000 tonnes of wine and spirits containers from curbside recycling
programs and landfill at a savings of about $7-8 million to Ontario municipalities;
. moving glass containers up the 3Rs hierarchy from recycling to reuse - the
preferred environmental and economic option for glass; and
. preserving a source of high quality, color separated, contaminant free recyclable
glass from those containers not destined for reuse.

Dear Ms. Wells:
Re: Regulatory Review Project - An alternative to the curb-side collection of glass
We thank you for this opportunity to comment on some of the proposed changes to
Ontario's environmental regulations. We feel this regulatory review is a good
opportunity to come to a solution regarding the municipal problem of recovering
glass in the Blue Box for recycling.
Our submission is brief, and we outline the issues associated with municipal
collection of glass for recycling. In our submission, we conclude by providing a
brief proposal for a regulatory change that can convert the current municipal waste
management problem of glass collection into a private sector business opportunity.
What is Canadian Bottle Recyclers Inc.?
Canadian Bottle Recyclers Inc. is a business dedicated to the reclamation,
restoration, marketing for reuse whenever possible, or for recycling whenever
necessary, all post consumer glass containers in Ontario.
The LCBO is the largest single source of glass in Ontario. CBR is prepared
to accept all LCBO containers and packaging and to operate a packaging
recovery system on behalf of the LCBO at virtually no cost to the LCBO or
thetaxpayer:-- ---- - - -- - - - - -- --' - -- ~ -- ---- -- ~--
The company has identified a specific market niche and a demand for recovered
glass containers by local vintners, foreign vintners and foreign recyclable glass
markets. CBR Inc. has identified a wide range of benefits that its operations
provide. These benefits include:
. an alternative source of reasonably priced, diverse, high quality, beverage
containers for domestic vintners;
. an export commodity enjoying high demand in foreign markets seeking supplies
of reasonably priced wine bottles;

. the potential to divert approximately 160 million LCBO containers or about

· an opportunity to move glass containers up on the 3Rs hierarchy from recycling
to reuse - the preferred environmental and economic option for glass; and
. a source of high quality, color separated, contaminant free recyclable glass from
those containers not destined for reuse. '
The Association of Municipal Recycling Coordinators (AMRC) and its member
municipalities, environmental groups, legislators, industries already using refillable
containers, and consumer advocates, support this service concept and approval for
it has been unanimous.
We hope that you find our attached submission useful and should you have any
questions, please feel free to phone us.

Why reuse wine and spirits bottles?
G lass bottles are better reused than recycled. Canadian Bottle Recyclers Inc.
supports the Ministry of Environment and Energy's call for "alternative approaches"
for refillable containers. We are convinced that for wine and spirits bottles, an
LCBO based deposit/refund system that recovers containers for reuse makes good
sense. Consider the following:
The recycling of glass across Ontario
· Municipalities have identified glass as a an expensive material to collect and
process through the blue box. Revenues from glass are meager and do not cover
costs;
. The Northwest Ontario Recycling Association has stopped the collection of
glass citing high costs, low revenues and long transport distances to market;
· Many municipalities have asked that glass be dropped from the mandatory list
of recycl abies;
· Due to poor quality and contamination, 27% of glass collected by Metropolitan
Toronto is used as fill. Almost 60% of glass processed by the Commissioners
Street MRF in Toronto is used as fill;
· Though cheaper than landfill in Southern Ontario, glass recycling is
economically and environmentally inefficient when compared to reuse _ blue
box collection converts a 50 cent wine bottle into 1 cent of cullet at a net cost
of about 5.8 cents per bottle.
The LCBO is the largest single source of glass
. The LCBO generates 160 million containers of which about 70,000 tonnes is
glass;
· 67.7% of LCBO containers are imported and 32.2% are domestic. Imported
bottles, long seen as a barrier to reuse are actually an invaluable source of
bottles that would otherwise have to be specially imported at high prices;
· The bulk of LCBO glass is colored glass for which demand is low;
· The blue box recovers about 50% of the 70,000 tonnes of LCBO glass with the
remaining 35,000 tonnes going to landfill;
· LCBO glass accounts for 60-70% of the glass in the blue box and virtually all of

Economic Costs of the current system
. Under Regulation 268/92 of the Liquor License Act the province of Ontario
collects 10 cents on each non-refillable wine, spirit and beer container sold in
Ontario ($38.2 million in total). This money currently goes into provincial
general revenue;
· LCBO glass costs Ontario's municipalities between $7-8 million a year to
recycle and landfill;
· Virgin bottles are expensive, are available in limited variety, and in inflexible
quantities, with expensive storage charges for bottles not immediately used.
Ontario's vintners suffer because of this; and
· Some Ontario vintners import bottles from Europe. The purchase of new bottles
from Europe, when identical bottles that could be reused are being destroyed in
the blue box, is uneconomic and wasteful.
Environmental aspects
· Recycling glass is no better than using virgin materials. The energy consumed in
curbside collection offsets the energy saved from using cullet in the foundry;
· Reusing a glass bottle once cuts energy consumption of using a virgin bottle by
almost 50%; and
· Unlike aluminum, the bulk of the energy used to make a glass container is for
bottle forming, and not for refining the glass the container is made from. The
value of glass is in the structure of the bottle not in the glass itself.
Recommendations
· That the province proceed with regulatory change that would allow
municipalities to choose 7 materials to recycle. This choice will provide
Ontario with the opportunity to move glass up the waste management hierarchy
from recycling to reuse;
· Rework and expand Reg. 357 and 340 to mandate deposits on a wide variety of
beverage containers. In conjunction with the highly effective "environmental
levy" that promotes reuse for wine, spirits and beer containers, deposits will
ensure the high recovery rates that facilitate reuse and reduce waste; ,
· Redirect the $38.2 million collected annually from the "environmental levy" to
develop the necessary infrastructure for establishing a deposit/refund system for
LCBO outlets.
latory review document entitled
Responsive Environmental Protection
on July 31st. 1996. In it, the ministry
decided to seek "alternative approach-
es" to the so-called "soft-drink con-
tainer regulations" (regulations 340
and 357) under the Environmental
Protection Act. These regulations
mandate a 30 per cent refillable quota
for soft-drink containers.
From 100 per cent in 1960. the use
of refillable beverage containers for
soft drinks has decreased to two per
cent in 1996. The origins of the 30 per
cent refillable quota dates back to late
1977 when the re-elected Davis gov-
ernment came to a "gentleman's
agreement" with the soft-drink.indus-
try for a 75 per cent refillable quota. In
late 1982, consultation with soft-drink
manufacturers. their suppliers. retail-
ers. public interest groups and other
. ~i stakeholders were conducted to revise
'-::::;~'\ the existing refillable regulations.
, ,/Despite these talks. the use of refill-
',~bles for soft drinks continued to drop.
, and the 75 per cent quota was never
enforced. With the establishment of
the Ontario Multi-Material Recvclin2

Box program was to be matched with

tional reduction to 30 per cent once

Plastic and glass are costly

Ontario's Blue Box is entering a

with IT:;.::;?ria!s that do not cover their

In 1996. the MOEE is once a2ain
rev1e\ving its soft-drink container ~2U-
lations. [n addition. the ministry has
suggested that the rec\'clim! re~ulations
be -~mended to allow'munlcip'Ulities to
choose seven materials to recycle
(rather than having to comply with a
proscribed list as they now must).
Why is this combi nation of potential
regulatory changes signiticanr~
Simply put. allowing municipalities
to choose the materials they want to
recvcle means thev will rencle onlv
wh~lt makes mone~' or incurS the least
cost. Combine this \\'jrh a weak. inef-
fective or nonexistent recovery/reuse
regulation, and it is not hard to see that
in municipalities where landfill is more
expensive than recycling, PET and
glass beverage containers are goina to
end up in landfill. In municipalhies
where recycling is cheaper than land-
fill. an ineffective system for beverage-
container recovery will continue to per-
peruate itself.
Consider current beverage contain-
er issues in Ontario. As mentioned
earlier, materials such as polyethylene
tereplhalate (PET) and glass are
expensive to collect and process. As
an example, using activity-based cost-
ing, Metropolitan Toronto calculated
that the net cost for recycling PET
(after sale of collected materials) is
about $1.578 per tonne. That works
out to 2.84 cents per container to col-
lect. transfer. process and market a
typical two-litre PET bottle collected
curbside. When you consider that
Metro Toronto handles about 60 mil-
lion PET containers a vear. the cost
becomes a si2nificant' $1.7-million.
Aluminum Cali's. which the soft:drink
industry describes as "the gold in the
Blue Box" and which command up to
51,8001tonne. offsets the cost of PET
bv less than a third. Aluminum mav
e~entually be displaced by singl~-
serving polyethylene naterepthalate
(PEN). PEN, a variant of PET. has bet-
ter barrier properties than PET. and
retains the carbonation in bevera2es
longer (a characteristic which has tra.
ditionally prevented the wide use of
PET for single-serving application; I.
If PEN displaces aluminum in the
Blue Box. another subsidy will be
gone. further exacerbating the
cosu'revenue discrepancy.
In addition to recvclin2 costs.
industry claims of a 50 Per ce;t bever-
age container recovery rate through
the Blue Bo~ means that the other 50
per cent ends up as litter and in land-
fill. Currentlv. the avera2e cost of dis--
posal in \letro Toronto.-has been esti-
maled to be 578 per tonne. Even when
crushed. landtilling PET is probably
far more expensive than 578 per tonne
gh-en the volume it occupies.
Nevertheless. as lon2 a; yletro's Keele

However. Keele Valley is nearly full

Ticket to ride
Until last fall, it was widely anticipated
that Metro would soon ship its garbage
to a new publicly-owned and operated
regional landfill which it would con-
struct in the abandoned open-pit
Adam's Mine near Kirkland Lake,
Ontario. Rail hauling waste from large
urban areas to modem landfills built in
far away, economically depressed
areas is a North i\merican trend. Even
progressive cities like Seattle.
Washington do it, and rail haul appar-
ently hasn't detracted from that city's
successful recycling and waste diver-
sion programs.
Currently, most of Metro Toronto's
non-recyclable garbage is disposed of
at the Keele Valley landfill in Vaughan
Township: a lesser amount at Brock
West in Durham and Britannia in Peel
(both to close in 1996-97). It's the
prospect of Keele Valley closing (slated
for late 1999) which is the driving force
behind the search for other options.
Last year, Metro Toronto generated
997.220 tonnes of residential solid
waste, of which 209,..90 lOnnes was
diverted throu~h recvclin~, home com-
posting and other y~d waste programs.
Keele Valley received 1,48 million
tonnes of garbage. including 98 per
cent of Metro's non-recycled residen-

tial trash (the remainder bein~ ~arba~e
from other municipalities and the pri-

convenient disposal option and. more
importantly, Keele Valley's lucrative
tipping fee revenue.
Keele Valley has provided Metro
with one of the greatest cash bonanzas
in its history. Since Metro expropriated
the former Maple Gravel Pits from
Waste Management Inc. (\V"m in
1971 and opened a municipal landfill

years. senior officials in the Metro

led to the selection of the Adam's Mine

These included SWEAP and SWISC

Going, Going, Gone?
by Glenda M. Gies
Since the very first days of community drop-
off depots, Ontario's recycling efforts have
been pegged to three basic materials _
newspapers, glass and cans. With the tran-
sition from drop'off depots (with their
reliance on volunteer labor) to curbside col-
lection systems, glass began to be identified
as a "problem" material. Breakage and the
potential for cross-contamination in Blue
Boxes and collection vehicles presented
handling and quality control problems for
program operators. During the rapid roll-out
of Blue Box programs to three million
Ontario households between 1987 and
1990. operators struggled with high rates of
glass rejection from the markets due to con.
tamination from small amounts of ceramics
and aggregate or larger amounts of plastic
and metal containers.

existing landfill. Keeping plastic pop
botdes and LeBO glass bottles out of
landfill is one way to do this.
If municipalities and their taxpayers
find Blue Box and landfill costs ofbev-
erage containers unacceptable. it may
be time to look at an alternative
opproach to container collection and
handling - deposit-refund systems
and refilbble containers. The benefits

While these start-up problems were resolved
through public education, changes in product
design and improved processing systems, the
presence of glass in curbside programs con-
,tinues to be a challenge for other reasons as
recycling systems mature. As the range of
recyclabie materials expands, the luxury of
dedicated truck compartments for color-sepa-
rated glass is disappearing. Municipalities
which have opted for co-collection of contain-
ers to improve efficiencies must now mechan-
ically and manually sort these containers at
their MRFs. While clear giass of acceptable
market quality can be manually recovered
from this mixed stream, a 'residual" stream of
mixed-color glass remains.
Most glass recovered in Ontario has been
directed for remanufacturing into bottles with a
smalier amount used for the production of
fibreglass. Given the price of primary materials,
this cullet has never been a high revenue item
for Ontario's recycling industry. In fact, evi-
dence suggests that newspaper and aluminum
revenues have been subsidizing glass Collec-
tion and processing costs. Although new mar-
kets for mixed-color and more contaminated
streams are emerging, these markets are not
likely to improve the revenue picture much.
The pressure is on to be ever more cost-effec-
tive, and municipalities and operators alike are

containers make them the preferable
system for beverage delivery.
However. deposits and refillables
aren't accepted as the best alternative

suggests that while a system based on
refillable PET is a workable and an
environmentally advantageous alterna-
tive. it would be costlv to industrv and
beverage consumers. in the past. 'as an

the Canadian Soli Drink Association
once again reiterated that it- is willing to

process provides municipalities with
an opportunily to open the dialog on
the best options for imprO\'ing the
Blue Box including how best to

With provincial subsidies gone, municipai I
transfer payments and bUdgets slashed, and
all services moving slowly but steadily
towards user pay, will glass hang on to its
favored position as one of Ontario's basic Blue I
Box materials?
Should giass be mandated to remain in the
Blue Box? Shouid municipalities be given the
option to discontinue glass COllection? How I
would residents react if one of their oldest and

INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT WEEK 1997
"The Worid Ahead" is the theme of this year's International Development Week (lOW),
February 2-8. FCM encourages its members to proclaim the week which is sponsored by the
Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).
Through FCM's International Office members, since 1987, have supported sustainable
development overseas through various CIDA-funded projects, technical exchanges and
partnerships between municipal governments in Canada and in the developing countries of
Africa, Asia and Latin America.
This year, an innovative project will give lOW tts highest profile ever. The Canadian Cable
Television Association will carry programs on most of its member stations highlighting the lOW
theme. Mayor Ross Risvold, Town of Hinton, Alberta, whose community is partnered with
Chegutu, Zimbabwe, has been chosen to illustrate some of the achievements of FCM's
Partnerships Program.
Many cable operators will air Parlners in a Global World, a 15-minute documentary
produced by FCM about the Hinton-Chegutu experience. The video demonstrates how
institutional cooperation between local governments can be beneficial to everyone involved.
Copies of the video can be purchased from FCM for $25.00. Contact: Oanielle Wilkinson at
(613) 241-8484.
A special edition of the newsletter "FCM International", to be released during lOW,
reflects the theme by fOCUSSing on various facets of the worldwide trend towards
decentralization.
CIOA has retained the firm of Tremblay Guittet Communications Inc., to produce
promotional material to help municipal governments organize development education activities.
A colour poster, a 1997 calendar and a leaflet are available from them free of charge, although

INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM IN JEOPARDY
. MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS MUST ACT NOW
OTTAWA. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) calls upon municipal
govemments across Canada to join immediately in a national campaign to persuade federal,
provincial and territorial govemments to renew the national infrastructure program. A
substantial backlog of municipal infrastructure awaits renewal. Municipal govemments must
show that they overwhelmingly support renewal of the program.
A report published earlier this year by the Faculty of Civil Engineering at McGill University
found that 91% of municipal respondents said that the current program had been effective
in improving the current state of municipal infrastructure. Three way cost sharing has been
proven and tested and can be activated quickly through municipal govemments. Job creation
goals can be satisfied by building on past successes.
;:-'r:~
The decision to launch a grassroots campaign follows months of efforts by FCM, member
municipal governments and provinciallterritorial municipal associations. Despite the
overwhelming success of the original program continuation is far from certain. Commenting
on this situation, FCM President Bryon Wilfert said:
After the last election, the Prime Minister announced the infrastructure program and
provinces quickly signed on. I finnly believe that if the federal govemment launches a
second bipartite program, all provinces will opt in again, as long as their share does not
exceed one third. With unemployment at 10 percent and the municipal infrastructure
deficit rising, Canada needs a second phase of the program.
Proven Value ofthe Present Infrastructure Program
FCM's tripartite municipaVprovinciallfederal model was a detennining factor in the
success of the present program. The program has created 100,000 jobs and has generated
over 12,000 infrastructure projects. The Treasury Board's Evaluation Report: "Taking Stock:
A Review of the Canada Infrastructure Works Program," prepared by Professor Richard
Sobennan of the University of Toronto, confinned that the program met its two main
objectives: job creation and infrastructure renewal. Professor SObennan, also found that the
program's success hinged on local project selection:

Local responsiveness, unencumbered by rigid rules and regulations imposed from a
distance, was probably one of the key factors that contributed to the success of the
Program inasmuch as management of the Program allowed priorities to be established
by those closest to the real problems.
The report found that the infrastructure program caused the economy to grow more than if
the $2 billion federal share had been applied to debt reduction. Two-thirds of all funds were
invested in "core" municipal infrastructure such as roads, sewers and bridges. Most of the
balance was allocated to municipal buildings and educational facilities. Forty (40) percent of
the funds were spent on repairs; nomnally only 20 percent of capital funding is directed to
repair.
Imitation is the highest form of flattery. The program has been such a success that other
groups are now vying for their own infrastructure programs based on FCM's model. Some
groups are requesting federal funding for national highways. Others are working to secure
infrastructure funding for university buildings and research faalities. The problem of municipal
infrastructure is of such an order of magnitude that municipal govemments cannot afford to
have federal funding siphoned off by highways and universities. Should such projects be
included Phase II, incrementality would be difficult to ensure and municipal involvement could
be reduced.
Focus on Municipal Infrastructure Renewal
Municipal govemments are duly elected and have their own source of revenues through
property taxes. Municipal govemment participation ensures: a financially viable third partner
in any tripartite arrangement; a quick start to the program; and a second phase that builds on
past experience.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
The next month will determine the success of FCM's efforts to have the program
renewed in a fomn that concentrates on municipal infrastructure needs. Members are
asked to convey their support for renewal by February 1, 1997 to the Prime Minister, the
Minister of Finance, local Cabinet Ministers and MPs at the federal level; and to their
PremierlGovemment Leader, Finance Minister, local Cabinet Ministers and legislators at
the proWlciavterritoriallevel. Please forward copies of any correspondence to the FCM
secretariat. Attached is a list of key federal Cabinet Ministers.

Dear Prime Minister:
NEW INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM
I am writing to congratulate you on the success of the Canada Infrastructure Works
(CIW) Program and to urge you to renew the program. The program has proven its ability to
address infrastructure renewal and job creation, but much remains to be done. A substantial
backlog of municipal infrastructure awaits renewal and our country faces 10% unemployment.
Without healthy municipal infrastructure, Canada will be at a competitive disadvantage,
impeding job creation and economic growth.
This program has been a great benefit to the citizens of (MunicipalitY's Name). During
the current infrastructure program, (Municipality's Name) undertook (list examples. value
and imoact of oroiects in the community and jobs created). We need a second
infrastructure program to fix (list examples. value and impact of oroiects in the community
and jobs to be createdl.
As highlighted in the Evaluation Report commissioned by the Treasury Board of
Canada, the tripartite municipal/provinciallfederal model was a determining factor in the
success of the present program. Municipal govemments are duly elected and have their own
source of revenues through property taxes. Our participation ensures: a financially viable third
partner in any tripartite arrangement; a quick start to the program; and a second phase that
builds on past experience. Municipal govemments must be full-partners in any new program.
(If resolution adooted) You will find attached, a copy of the resolution that our Municipal
CounCIl recently adopted in support of renewal.
I thank you for your consideration of this matter.

Dear Mayor Hamre:
I am pleased to invite your Municipality to bid to host the 1998 Ontario Summer or
Winter Games. The Games are the highest profile multi-sport competition held in Ontario
every two years. The Summer Games are held in August and the Winter Games in
March of that year. They strengthen sport development in Ontario; promote the benefits
of sport; build partnerships and provide the opportunity for Ontarians to learn more about
themselves.
This letter is to formally initiate the bid process to select host municipalities. Attached
you will find The Ontario Summer and Winter Games Bid Guidelines that describes the
Games and the bidding process.
For communities that host the Ontario Games, they provide a vehicle for economic
impact, community development, confidence, recognition and civic pride. The
development of volunteers and facilities ensures a legacy of resources which will
enhance the host community long after the closing ceremonies. The recent Ontario
Summer Games in London, Ontario, hosted close to 3,000 athletes, had well over
15,000 spectators and close to 2,000 volunteers. They left new sport opportunities in
the community as well as a financial legacy.
Bids to host the 1998 Winter or Summer Games must be received by the Ministry no
later than 12:00 noon, on February 21, 1997. The host communities for the 1998
Ontario Gameswill be announced by March 14,1997.

INTRODUCTION
The Ontario Games started in 1970 as a showcase for amateur sport. As a multi-
sport competition, the Ontario Games provide the province's athletes with a
developmental and competitive opportunity to prepare them for national and
international competitions. They also give the public a chance to see Ontario's
best amateur athletes compete provincially.
Each Ontario Games involves from 2,200 to 3,000 participants from across the
province competing in up to 26 sports. The Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and
Recreation and the selected Host Municipality are the primary sponsors of the
Games. The Host Municipality is responsible for establishing a Games Organizing
Committee (GOC). The GOC, which includes representatives from the Host
Municipality and the Ministry, works in co-operation with Provincial Sport
Organizations to ensure the success of the Games.

ONTARIO SUMMER/WINTER GAMES
BID GUIDELINES
Municipalities interested in hosting the
Ontario Summer/Winter Games must
prepare a formal bid for submission to
the Ministry of Citizenship, Culture
and Recreation.
1. The Bid
The bid should provide an
introduction to the community, such
as population, a brief history,
economic activity, etc. It must detail
plans for the Games inclliding each of
the sections discussed in this
document. A checklist of additional
items is included as Appendix A.
The bid must be technically sound
and convey an accurate assessment
of the municipality's resources. After
the SRC reviews the bid, and before
the site evaluation, a Bid Committee
may be asked to prepare
supplementary information for
presentation during the site review
day.
2. Municipal Support
Due to the size and complexity of the
Ontario Games, municipal support is
critical to the success of the event. It
is important to indicate the type of
support the municipality is prepared
to commit to a Games Organizing
Committee (GOC).
Municipal contributions have ranged
from $50,000 - $200,000 including
cash and gifts andlor services-in-kind.
Please include the following in your
bid application:
. level of municipal contribution
(cash and gifts-in-kind); and
. resolution of City Council indicating
support for bid application and
proposed financial contribution.
3. Eligible Municipality/Municipalities
All municipalities in the province are
eligible to bid for the Ontario Games.
Because of the considerations below,
only some municipalities over a
population size of 25,000 have been
invited to bid for the games. Some of
the smaller municipalities may wish to
partner with other neighbouring
municipalities in their bids.
The following facts should be
considered by a muniCipality when
deciding whether to bid for Ontario
Games:
. The number and types of sport
facilities available in the
community;
. The facilities that are needed to run
the games;
. The number of volunteers needed
to successfully host the games
(estimated to be between 1,500 to
2,000);
. Accommodation and meals for
2,200 to 3,000 athletes for up to
four days;
. Other accommodations for parents,
officials, tourists, etc.; and
. Financial capability to raise the
required municipal and private
sector funds to host the games.
4. Community Support
It is important that a tangible
demonstration of the community's
support for the Games be identified
Ontario Summer and Winter Games Bid Guidelines
Page; 3
from the outset. The Ministry must
be convinced that the community
wants the Games and is prepared to
donate their time, energy and money
to support the Games through
volunteer time, attendance at events,
merchandising efforts, etc.
Local and regional governments,
educational institutions, businesses,
chambers of commerce, labour
organizations, professional
associations, community service
groups, sport organizations and other
identifiable sectors of the community
should be involved in the bid in some
tangible fashion.
The Bid should also outline briefly
how the Host Municipality intends to
build community support leading up
to and during the games.
.~
5. Community Achievements
A list of events that the municipality
has hosted in previous years provides
an indication to the SRC of the human
resources and organizational
experience within the community. In
this regard. a listing of major sporting
and non-sporting events that have
been hosted by the community should
be included. along with a short
description of the number of
volunteers, participants and the
budget (including how much revenue
was self-generated and how much
was provided by governments.)
:r.:
6. Legacy Proposals
Ongoing sport development within a
host community is one of the
objectives of the Ontario Games
program. The Bid should outline its
plans for sport development in the
community before and after the
Games. Surplus funds are to be
designated for the benefit of amateur
sport in the host community. Any
surplus for amateur sport would
normally be placed in a legacy trust
fund.
7. Deficit Management Plan
The province is not responsible for
any deficit that occurs. The bid
should indicate the steps that will be
taken to ensure that the Games do
not incur a deficit. Also, a plan for
what will occur in the event of a
deficit (e.g. financial guarantees from
the municipality) should be detailed.
8. Games Organizing Committee
Each bid must outline its plans for
creating a Games Organizing
Committee (GOC). The bid does not
need to have a completely structured
GOC. however an outline is required.
The bid must demonstrate the
commitment of key people in the
community to get involved.
A sample organizational chart for a
GOC is shown as Appendix B. It
shows many functional activities or
tasks that must be assigned to the
various committees.
The GOC should draw upon a wide
cross-section of the community based
on their ability to organize and
manage. Since much of the success
of the Games is dependent upon the
enthusiasm and tireless efforts of
volunteers. special emphasis must be
given to the volunteer management
skills of those placed in leadership
positions.

The GOC is responsible for achieving
the mandate and mission of the
Games. The GOC often includes
representatives of major public
institutions or organizations with an
interest in the Games. Shortly after
its incorporation, the GOC should
establish a headquarters or central
office, which will provide the focus
for the operations of the Games.
The GOC will be responsible for
developing a number of policies for
areas such as purchasing and
tendering. Policies from .previous
Games will be available.
9. French Language Services
As the Ontario Games are a program
of the Ministry, the GOC will have to
include a Committee responsible for
French Language Services. The
Committee will ensure that both
official languages are respected in all
promotions and public information
prior to and during the Games.
All signage, publications and displays
must be in both official languages. A
detailed listing of French language
services requirements is noted in
Appendix C.
10. Human Resources
To stage a successful Ontario Games,
the GOC will need to recruit, train and
direct the efforts of more than 1,000

11. Dates Of The Games
The Ontario Games are held every
two years in even numbered years
(1996,1998). The Ontario Winter
Games are traditionally held the
second week of March. The Ontario
Summer Games are traditionally held
the second or third week in August.
Both Games begin with Opening
Ceremonies taking place on the
Thursday evening and competitions
running until Sunday. Closing
Ceremonies take place late Sunday
afternoon or early evening. The bid
must indicate the dates of the games
and the rationale for choosing them.
12. Sport Selection
The bid needs to outline the sports it
proposes to include in the games.
The sports that should be part of the
games are outlined further on in this
document. In certain instances,
municipalities will not have the
capability to host a sport, and
therefore alternate arrangements
would need to be developed by the
host municipality for these sports.
The Host Community must provide a
minimum of 15 sports with no less

Their accommodations must be single
or twin rooms.
19. Food Services
An athlete's experience is also very
dependent on the quality and quantity
of food they receive. As many
sport's competition schedules are
different, flexibility is needed to allow
for late or earlier meals, box lunches
etc. The bid must outline a plan for
feeding the 3,000 participants during
the 4-day event (e.g. per diems, food
vouchers, grazing, box lunches, etc.).

promptly to the Media and Results'
Centres.
The bid must identify the media
resources available and the plan for
involving each in the promotion of the

Ceremony cannot be overstated. It
sets the tone for the entire Games
and should be inspiring, involving,
creative and include a cultural
component.

closing ceremonies allow a great deal
of flexibility to the host. The closing
ceremonies are traditionally more
informal and, in some cases, include
vo'lunteer appreciation as part of with
the event.

venues for Opening and Closing
Ceremonies along with the ability to
present the Ceremonies in both

The Ministry of Citizenship, Culture
and Recreation has selected the
maximum number of eligible sports
for the Summer and Winter Games.
These sports are fixed and no
alterations will be considered.
Maximum team sizes will be
negotiated with the Host, Ministry
and Provincial Sport Organizations.
The competitions are governed by a
technical package that is jointly
developed by the appropriate PSO
and the GOC. The technical package
dictates the number of participants
permitted, competition format and
other issues critical to the actual
event. A sample technical package is
attached as Appendix D.
'.;';
Given that sport is undergoing
constant change, the Ministry
reserves the right to alter the sports
list and events within the sport up to
one year prior to the Games.
Alterations that lead to an increase in
the cost of the Games must be agreed
to by the Host and the Ministry.
Given that athletes with a disability
participate in the Games, facilities
must be accessible.
Refer to the attached list of Ontario
Summer/Winter sports, minimum
facility standards and target numbers
to prepare the necessary sport
technical information. The bid must

sports and municipal map indicating
facility locations.
. Facility specifications including:

AUDITORS' REPORT
To The Members of St. John Ambulance Durham Region Branch
We have audited the balance sheet of St. John Ambulance Durham Region Branch as at December
31, 1995 and the statement of revenue and expenditures for the year then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the organization's management. 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 a=pted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit
to obtain. reasonable assurance as to 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 overall financial
statement presentation.
In common with many charitable organizations, the organization derives revenue from donations,
the completeness of which is not susceptible to satisfactory audit verification. Accordingly, our
verification of these revenues was limited to the amounts recorded in the records of the
organization, and we were not able to determine whether any adjustments might be necessary to
donation revenues, excess of revenue over expenditures, assets and deficiency.
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 fmancial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the organization as at December 31, 1995 and the results of its
operations for the year then ended in accordance with generally a=pted accounting principles.

ST. JOHN AMBUlANCE
DURHAM REGION BRANCH
NOTES TO 11IE F1NANClAL STA'IEMENTs
DECEMBER 31, 1995
1. General
The St. John Ambulance Durham Region Branch is a branch of the St. John Ambulance
- Ontario Council and provides first-aid and health-care training. The Ontario Council is
a registered charity and, while registered, is exempt from income taxes.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
(b) Capital Assets
Furniture and equipment purchases are charged to operations in the year of acquisition.
Vehicle purchases are charged to the vehicle replacement fund.
(c) Revenue Recognition
Donations are recognized as revenue when cash is received. Training fee revenue is
recognized when classes have been completed.
(d) Donated Services
Much of the work of the organization is dependent on the voluntary services of its
members. Since these services are not normally purchased by the organization and
because of the difficulty of determining their fair value, donated services are not
recognized in these firiancial statements.

Jean Canty, 13 Elgin Street, Hampton, LOB 1/0 - stated objection
to the storage of six fuel tanks above ground as it will be an eyesore. She
also expressed a concern that this might become a service station.
Dave Tabb, R.R. #3, Port Hope, L1A 3V7 - advised that he and his
wife operate a few farms inside and outside vf the municipality and
expressed support for the application on the basis that the service they
receive from Mr. Cooper is crucial to his fann operation as well as all other
farmers in the community. -
Marvin Stapleton, 2100 Stapleton Road, Newtonville, LOA 110
- expressed support for this application as his family farms approximately
1,000 acres in Clarington and Mr. Cooper provides a great service to the
farming community. He advised that 70% of Mr. Cooper's business is
generated from the local fanners who receive an outstanding quality of
service from Mr. Cooper.
Chris Cooper, 4383 Highway #2, Newtonville, LOA 110 - advised
that he operates Cooper Fuels limited with his wife, Rosemary, and Cooper
Fuels is an independent bulk fuel distributor and recognized Texaco
distributor of bulk and pre-packaged lubricants. He noted that Cooper Fuels
must remain in the immediate Newtonville area for the following reasons:
. a new location would severely reduce his ability to service the farmers in
the area which represent 62% - 70% of his business;
. the fastest growing end of his business is the pre-packaged and bulk
lubricants and all of these lubricants are geared to the agricultural
community for farming equipment;
. Cooper Fuels does not have a large advertising budget and the location
on the Highway #2 would give the exposure so desperately needed to
keep h is market share;
. having to re-Iocate out of Newtonville into an industrial park would leave
the immediate area open to his competitors; and
. Cooper Fuels is a good corporate citizen and will continue to be.
He advised that he is willing to work with all parties to satisfy the
municipality's requirements.
(c) Report PD-9-97 - Robert Owen - the purpose and effect of the application is
to pennit the expansion of the existing motor vehicle sales establishment and
to. limit the permitted uses to a motor vehicle sales establishment on the
lands owned by the applicant.

Co-operative approach to the provision of
Municipal Services
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that Council approve the following:
L THAT Report Admin. 2 -97 be received;
2. THAT the Chief Aclrnini~trative Officer with the appropriate Staff, be directed to
continue investigations with the City of Oshawa on the cost of services that could be
provided on a co-operative basis with Qarington, and report back to Council;
3. THAT Staff investigate and report back 0n the possibility and potential costs related
to the use of the Oshawa City Hall for use as a Municipal Emergency Operations
Centre; .
4. THAT Staff investigate with the City of Oshawa and the Province, the potential for
the funding of a joint project under the Joint Emergency Preparedness Plan, and if
allowed, prepare and submit an amended application to the J.E.P.P. for such a
project; and .
5. THAT the Chief Aclrnini~trative Officer of the City of Oshawa, Mr. J. Brown, and
his Staff, be thanked for the co-operative participation in the discussions relating to.
the co-operative provision of municipal services to date, and informed of Council's
direction to proceed with cost analysis and future recommendations.
~.eocu.1:I:\ .._~
~~~.. ~..u"'(
Background:
1.0 The Chief Administrative Officer verbally reported to Council in 1996, that some
preliminary discussions had taken place with Chief Administrative Officer of Oshawa
regarding the potential for a co-operative approach to the provision of municipal
services. Council endorsed the initiative and directed that Staff continue these
discussions.
1.1 The City of Oshawa Staff were very receptive to the idea and discussions focused on
the sharing of some services, the enhancement of some services for Clarington and
the potential for some cost recovery of services for Oshawa.
2.0 The following summarizes the preliminary results of those meetings:
~
1. Fire Dispatch: There is a potential for both municipalities to save money if
Oshawa provides central dispatch services for Clarington. Oshawa currently
provides dispatch services for Scugog, and they have the capacity with existing
hardware to include Clarington. There would be some minor cost related to
software and data input. Under this scenario Oarington would not require
upgrades to existing hardware that would be required in the near future, and
subject to negotiations, the cost of the four dispatch personnel could be
redirected to other areas or reduced. Oshawa would reduce their overall
costs by charging on a "cost for service" basis, and they would be able to
proportionally cost share future capital expenditures.
2. Fire Services - Cross Border: Some discussion took place with regard to both
Oshawa and Clarington analyzing Courtice area services and the placement
of a station in a location to provide the most effective response time to
residents of both communities. This is consistent with the Provincial directive
to initiate "automatic" response.
3. Computer Services/G.I.S.: Oshawa is receptive to sharing on a "cost for
service" basis; software, information and assistance in the area of computer
technology. This extends to the geographic information system which
Oarington is currently implementing. The G.I.S. that Oshawa has employed
may not be compatible with Clarington's proposed system, however staff are
currently making arrangements to visit with Oshawa staff and investigate the
opportunities.
4. Financial System/Budget Program: Oshawa has developed or purchased a
new general ledger system which they have suggested may be of interest to
Oarington. At this time, the Oarington financial system is custom designed
and offers more integration than what Oshawa's system offers, however, we
have suggested that we will remain "in touch" and will investigate further
when Clarington is at the point of moving to a generic system.

5. Human Resources: This topic was discussed and Oshawa has concurred that
it is more difficult to offer assistance in an area that is as unique as human
resources. In addition, they suggested that Clarington is in a beneficial
position by managing human resource issues, negotiations, etc., without a
separate department and the associated costs.
6. Municipal Operations Centre for Emergencies: Oshawa was asked to
consider the possibility for Clarington to use the Oshawa City Hall as a
Municipal base in the event of either a nuclear emergency or a severe non-
nuclear situation. This would alleviate the need for Clarington to pursue
construction of a new facility for this purpose, and any upgrades required for
Oshawa could be a shared cost for them. The potential for Provincial aide
under the Joint Emergency Preparedness Plan (JEPP) may be more secure
under a joint initiative. This opportunity is being further explored, with the
intention to discuss it further with representatives from the Province.
2.1
The discussions indicated an immediate opportunity for sharing or providing some
services on a co-operative basis. It is recommended that staff continue with the
investigation of cost and particulars of service delivery related to the services
identified above, and any others that are brought forward by staff, and report back
to Council.

3.0 In addition to the above, the following services are already administered on a Region
wide or a co-operative basis by Council endorsed agreements:
. Co-operative Buyers Group - joint tendering and bulk purchases
. Insurance - Area Municipal Group Purchase
4.0 The Chief Administrative Officer, on the initiative of Mayor Hamre at Regional
Council, will also be participating in a Region wide "Who Does What" committee .
This committee will investigate the general service delivery functions and will
potentially be making recommendations on the appropriateness of responsibilities
assigned to the upper tier and the lower tier municipalities.
4.1 It is not anticipated that tlie above initiative with the City of Oshawa will conflict
with the mandate of the c.A.O.! Regional committee, rather it may offer some
guidelines or examples for their consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
W. H. Stockwell,
Chief Administrative Officer

Loan Status - Kinsmen Gub Re: Orono Fairgrounds Bleachers
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that Council approve the following:
1. lHAT Report ADMIN. 3 - 97 be received;
2. THAT the terms of the loan repayment of $16,500 from the Kinsmen Gub of
Bowmanville be amended as follows:
1997
1998
1999
$
$
$
5,500
5,500
5,500;
3.
lHA T the Municipality continue to hold as collateral for the term of the loan,
documented ownership of the bleachers; .
4.
lHA T all other terms of the original arrangement approved through Report
ADMIN. 19-94 remain unchanged; and
5.
lHA T the Kinsmen Gub of Bowmanville be notified of Council's decision.
Background:
1.0 Report ADMIN. 19-94, (refer to Attachment 1) approved an interest free loan of
$33,000 jointly to the Rotary and Kinsmen Gubs of Bowmanville. The loan was
secured by the transfer to the Municipality, ownership of a set of bleachers.
1.1 The loan was to be repaid equally by the Kinsmen Gub and the Rotary Gub over
the two year period of 1995 and 1996.
~'C<c,~o t:I:\ u..u
~v.~ ~...c.c<t
2.0 It was anticipated that the Rodeo events, which were sponsored in part by the
Kinsmen Club at the Orono Fairgrounds, would provide sufficient funds to allow
early repayment of the loan. The Rodeo events for a variety of reasons, did not
result in the financial success that was anticipated. Consequently, the Kinsmen Club
were unable to meet their original repayment schedule, without facing a cutback in
the community programs that they presently conduct within Clarington.
2.1 The Kinsmen Club have stated that they would be able to make the 1997 payment
of $5,500 immediately, and are requesting Council to consider extending the
repayment terms to allow the final two payments of $5,500 to be paid in 1998 and
1999. This would allow them to continue to finance their ongoing service agenda.
3.0 The value of the bleachers is considered to be in excess of the value of the
outstanding loan, and they will remain in the ownership of the Municipality until the
loan is paid. In consideration of the original donation Qf the bleachers to the Orono
Fairgrounds by the two service clubs via the Municipality, Council may wish to
consider the request.
4.0 The Rotary Club paid their proportional share of the loan in December 1996.
Respectfully submitted,
W. H. Stockwell,
Chief Administrative Officer

ir>SUrance will become their responsibility;
."..... t:D. .._.
...... \I'f\.J~(<.C<.
9.
THAT the required funds be drawn from the Unclassified Administration Contingeney
Aeeount #7007-X-298;
10.
THAT Munieipality will honour any existing and future agreements made between the Rotary
and Kinsmen Clubs of Bowmanville and the Durham Central Agrieultural Soeiety regarding
responsibility for rental of advertisement spaee, and assoeiated revenue earned from the
advertisement spaee on the bleaehers;
11. THAT the Durham Central Agrieultural Soeiety, the Rotary Club of Bowmanville, and the
Kinsmen Club of Bowmanville, be notified of COWleil's decision.
Baekeround:
1. The Durham Central Agrieultural Society, through report Admin-ll-94, received. a grant in
the amount of 521,000 for improvements to the Durham Central Agricultural Society
Fairgrounds. These funds, together with the Rotary and Kinsmen contributions in kind and
a tremendous amount of volunteer work, resulted in a real value improvement of
approximately $280,000 to the Fairgrounds. These efforts made it possible for the Ontario
Rodeo Association to hold the 1994 finals at this site.
1.1 The event was a fmancial success not only for the Rotary Club, who sponsored the Rodeo
event, but also for many of the local business operations.
2.0 The improvements to the infrastructure will allow large scale events such as the Rodeo
Assoeiation fmals, etc. to be held on the property on an ongoing basis, provided that the
Fairgrounds has sufficient seating capaeity. In order to accommodate this requirement, the
Rotary Club of Bowmanville, together with the Kinsmen Club of Bowmanville purchased
bleaehers which have a seating capacity of 1,500 to 1,700 people. The cost of these
bleachers was 533,000.
2.1 By virtue of their Charter, neither the Rotary Club or the Kinsmen Club are able to own
assets, and as such, they wish to sell the asset to the Durham Central Agricultural Society.
The Agricultural Society is not in a fmancial position to purchase the asset. The Rotary Club
has used previously committed funds to purchase the bleachers, and would replenish these
earmarked funds with the loan from the Municipality. The financial contribution made by
the Kinsmen Club was not financially significant to the purehase of the bleachers. The Rotary
and Kinsmen Club have agreed to transferful! ownership of the bleachers to the Municipality
immediately.
3.0 The MWlicipal Act Section 113 allows the Municipality, if it is deemed to be in the best
interest of the Municipality, make a loan to a non business enterprise. (see copy of Section
113 attached as Schedulc #1). The Rotary Club is a registered charitable organization and
the Kinsmen Club is a not for profit organization, and as such both would qualify for the loan
under the ,o.unicipal criteria.

4.0 In recognition of the significant economic advantage provided to the community by way of
the contribution through improvements made to the Durham Central Agricultural Society
Fairgrounds by the Rotary Club of Bowmanville and the Kinsmen Club of Bowmanville, it
is respectfully recommended that the Municipality interim finance the purchase of the
bleachers for use at the Durham' Central Agricultural Society Fairgrounds.
4.1 TIle funds are recommcnded to be drawn from the Unclassified Administration Contingency
account, which has a balance of approximately $60,000 uncommitted, prior to this draw.
5.0 Upon completion of the loan obligation, it is recommended that the ownership of the
bleachers be transferred to the Durham Central Agricultural Society for use at the Durham
Central Agricultural Society Fairgrounds.
6.0 The Durham Central Agricultural Society Fairgrounds are considered by all to be a
significant and unique asset to the community and the enhancement of the Fairgrounds
combined with the appropriate seating capacity provided by the_bleachers will help to ensure
continued expansion of the events at the Fairgrounds and ultimately continued economic
advantages throughout the Municipality.

Co~structed between 1903 and 1904, the former Town of Bowmanville Town Hall was
designed by A.R. Denison of Toronto. It is the only example of the Beaux Arts style
found in Bowmanville. This architectural form takes its name from the Ecole de
Beaux Arts in Paris where archnects of the late nineteenth century were taught to
design buildings based on Classical and Renaissance prototypes.
The symmetrical facade contains a recessed centre portion between slightly
projecting end bays. Horizontal rustication is evident on the lower storey as the brick
has been laid to give the effect of broad horizontal bands. The recessed portion of
the upper storey contains three large windows set between projecting brick pilasters
which are topped with decorative capitals. The roof line cornice, with ns rectangular
brackets and semi-circular pediment, the octagon bell tower and the stone window
dressings, door trim and scroll brackets all add to the appearance of stately
importance.

On April 20, 1903, the council for the former Town of Bowmanville approved the
construction of this new town hall building. John Kydd was engaged as . -
superintendent of the work under the direction of Mr. Denison, and the corner stone
was laid on August 29, 1903, by John Hoskin Esq.
The building was officially opened on February 24,1 904, and was multl-purpose in
nature. The lower floor held the municipal offices and the library, and the basement
contained a detention cell with a heavy metal plated door and barred windows. The
Hall's most impressive feature was the upper floor audnorium which was utilized as
an opera house.
It is significant to note that in the late 1980s the town hall was revived to
accommodate the needs of a growing municipality. 1988 saw the official opening of
a new post-modern addnion. Designed by AJ. Diamond, Donald Schmitt and
Company, the rehabilnation of the old section and ns melding with the new
administrative office portion won an award of excellence from the Ontario Archnects
Association (OM).
The renovation was very sympathetic to the original construction as all exterior facade
were maintained and new elements were carefully amalgamated. The west wall has
been retained and can be seen upon entrance into the main reception area. The
original north entrance has been replaced by a window and additional windows have
been added where needed. The cast iron opera house seats have been refurbished
and reupholstered and are now the balcony seating for the council chambers.
The former Town of Bowmanville Town Hall is recommended for designation under
the Ontario Heritage Act for the following architectural features:
