Todd Hoffman, Chair, Animal Advisory Committee, 20 Maple Street, Haydon,
L1C 3K2, circulated a copy of his presentation to Council and gave an update on
the activities of the Animal Advisory Committee, including the Open House
which was held on May 10, 1997, which was atteuded by over 400 people, He
thanked Members of Council, Staff and all the sponsors who donated towards the
success of this event which will net approximately $650.00. He requested the
mandate of the Animal Advisory Committee be extended for a further 15 months
to December 1998 and cited two reasons:
I
I
I
I
.
The first reason is financial - individual members have a wide range of
talents and expertise and are willing to donate their time; and
.
The Committee will achieve results which are a valuable resource to the
community in terms of increasing public awareness of animal education
and providing broad based support for the staff of the Animal Control
Services Division.

Michael Huber, 6401 Solina Road, Hampton, LOB lJO, requested that the
Kennel portion of his application be approved on the basis that it is not
interfering with any of the objectives of the Official Plan. The kennel will be a

local economy during construction of the kennel.
I
I
John Campbell, 250 Baldwin Street, Newcastle, LlB 1Cl, urged Council to table
Report PD-82-97 on the basis that development is premature at this time and that
one family has already "pulled up stakes" and is moving because of the increased
noise and traffic in the area. He suggested that Baldwin Street be closed at the
south end and that this application be allowed to continue when the construction
of Toronto Street is completed.

SUBJECT:
Proposed Amendments to the Durham Regional Official Plan
(DROP)
Permitted Uses in Agricultural Areas
1.0 BACKGROUND
On March 3, 1997, the Town of Pickering adopted a new Official Plan; Approval of a new
Pickering Official Plan requires the approval of a nwnber of amendments to the Region of
Durham Official Plan (DROP). By letter dated April 7, 1997, the Region has requested the City's
comments on certain of these proposed DROP amendments related to Agricultura1 policies that
would apply across the Region. The purpose of this report is to provide comment to the Region
ofDurharn.
Attaclunent No. I is a copy of the correspondence dated April 7, 1997, from the Region of
Durham. Attaclunent No.2 is a listing of the various DROP amendments required to implement
the new Pickering Official Plan, with the proposed Durham-wide amendments to Agricultural
policies contained in Section 3 of the proposed amendment.
2.0 INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES
Not applicable.
3.0 ANALYSIS
The proposed amendments affect three specific sections in Section 12 of the DROP - Agricultural
Policies. The proposed changes are outlined below. Words to be added to the policies are
Wlderlined within the quoted policy. This Departme~t's comments are provided in bold.
3.1.1 Section 12.3.3 - Defmition of Agriculture and Farm Related Uses
The proposed changes to Section 12.3.3 would expand the list of uses in areas designated as
Agricultura1 in the DROP to include farm vacations, road side produce stands, horse shows, and
riding schools.
Section 12.33. as amended would read as follows:
"Agriculture and farm related uses shall mean the use of lands, buildings or structures for the
d owin or food roduction and the owin of soecialitv croos.
farm vacations. road side produce stands, raising of horses including horseshows and riding
schools and nurseries with no commercial component."
This Department has no objections to supplementing the list of permitted uses in Section
12.3.3 through the addition of farm vacations, horse shows and riding schools. Farm
vacation uses are generally smaller scale establishments which cater to those wishing to visit
farm operations. These types of uses are not disruptive to normal farming operations.
Horse shows and riding schools could be considered as associate or ancillary uses to the
training of horses which is already a permitted use in Section 12.3.3. Riding stables are
already a permitted use in Agricultural Zones under Zoning By-law 60-94. Listing road
side produce stands in this Section of the DROP permits these types of uses without the
provision presently contained in Section 12.3.7 that requires road side produce stands to
only sell produce grown on the farm. This can be supported as a DROP policy provided
that an area municipality can restrict road side produce stands in terms of size, seasonal
nature and/or only selling produce grown on the farm in their official plan and/or zoning
by-law.
3.1.2 Section 12.3.8 - Farm Related Industrial Uses
Section 12.3.8 of the DROP permits fann related industrial uses subject to certain criteria. The
proposed amendment would expand the list offann-related industrial uses listed in Section 12.3.8
to include processing and packaging operations, cottage wineries and auctions.
Section 12.3.8 as amended would read as follows:
"Notwithstanding Section 12.3.2, farm-related industrial uses that support and directly service
agriculture, and require locations in proximity to farin operations may locate in Agricultural
Areas. Fann-related industrial uses include uses such -as grain drying, storage of farm produce,
processing and packaging operations. cottage wineries and auctions. The development of fann-
related industrial uses in Agricultural Areas shall:
(i) minimize the use of good agricultural land;
(ii) incorporate appropriate separation distances from fann operations m accordance with
Provincial Minimum Distance Separation requirements;
(iii) be compatible with sensitive land uses in compliance with Provincial Land Use
Compatibility guidelines particularly issues of noise and dust must be addressed;
(iv) be located on an existing opened public:road and shall not compromise the design and
function of the road;
(v) be serviced with an individual private waste disposal system and an individual private
drilled well which meet Provincial and Regional standards; and
(vi) be subject to local planning approvals including being zoned in a special zoning category
for the use."

The proposed amendment to Section 12.3.8 is considered unnecessary. Amendment No. 21
to the DROP, approved on December 4,1997, created a new Section 12.3.8 which permitted
the location of farm related industrial uses subject to a detailed set of land use and
compatability criteria. The proposed addition of the words "processing and packaging
operations, cottage wineries and auctions" reflects uses that could be permitted as
agricultural uses, or accessory industrial uses under Section 12.3.8 as presently written.
_Requiring an amendment to the DROP to specifically list the proposed uses in Section
12.3.8 implies that these uses are currently not permitted by the DROP.
Continual economic challenges to the agriculture industry require that local and regional
governments apply a more flexible approach to accessory and farm related
industriallcommereial uses in order to maintain the viability of agricultural operations.
Official Plan Amendment No. 21 to the DROP was approved in this spirit and the
compatibility criteria now contained in Section 12.3.8. are intended to meet this goal while
ensuring land use compatibility in agricultural areas. Accordingly, this Department has no
objection to the proposal to permit processing and packaging operations, cottage wineries
and auctions in Agricultural Areas. However, the prllposed amendment to the DROP
Section 12.3.8 is considered to be unnecessary.
3.1.3 Section 12.3.7 - Retail Stands for the Sale of Agricultural Products
Section 12.3.7 of the DROP addresses retail stands for the sale of agricultural products. The
proposed amendment would delete the existing Section 12;3.7 in its entirety. The present Section
12.3.7 reads as follows: .
"Retail stands for the sale of agricultural products from the fann unit upon which the stand is to
be situated shall be permitted in agricultural areas."
The deletion of Section 12.3.7 combined with the proposed addition of a road side produce
stand in Section 12.3.3 would permit the sale of agricultural produce which is grown off
site. Section 2.8.1.2 of the Oshawa Official Plan permits retail stands for the sale of
agricultural products produced on the farm unit. Similar provisions are contained in
Zoning By-law 60-94 permitting accessory retail stands for the sale of seasonal produce,
produced on the farm.
The proposed deletion of Section 12.3.7 of the DROP would permit the removal of the
existing restriction in the Oshawa Official Plan and Zoning By-law 60-94 that requires
retail stands to only sell seasonal produce produced on the farm. The earlier staff
comments relating to enabling an area municipality to include provisions related to size,
seasonal namre of such uses and/or only selling produce produced on the farm in their
official plan and/or zoning by-law to avoid permanent fuD-time retail produce stores would
apply.
4.0 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Not applicable.
230
5.0 CONCLUSION
This Department has no objection to the proposed amendments to broaden the list of farm related
uses in Agricultural areas subject to the comments noted earlier. In this regard, the proposed
amendments to Sections 12.3.3 and the deletion of Section 12.3.7 are supported provided an area
municipality can appropriately restrict road side produce stands to avoid permanent retail produce
stores. The proposed amendment to Section 12.3.8 is considered wmecessary and it implies an
overly restrictive interpretation of fann related agricultural uses presently permitted in Section
12.3.8 of the DROP.
If the proposed amendments to the DROP are approved, it would be appropriate to process related
amendments to the Agricultural policies of the Oshawa Official Plan as part of the present
Official Plan review process by the City. This matter will be addressed in a future report. In
addition, if the subject amendments are approved, it will be necessary to make changes to Zoning
By-law No. 60-94.
6.0 RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended:
1. That the Region of Durham be advised:
(a) That the City ofOshawa has no objection to the approval of proposed amendments to
Sections 12.3.3 and 12.3.7 of the Durham Regional Official Plan provided an area
municipality can appropriately restrict road side produce stands to avoid permanent
retail produce stores in Agricultural areas. .',
<
(b) That the City ofOshawa considers the proposed amendment to Section 12.3.8 of the
Durham Regional Official Plan to be wmecessary.
2. That a copy of the report of the Commissioner of Development and Planning Services dated
June 4, 1997, Item 68-97, and City Council's decision be forwarded to the Region of
Durham and to all Durham area municipalities.

Dear Friend,
t.9U~CtPAlITY OF ClARINGTON
lAA'iOR'S OFfiCE
Today, I introduced proposed legislation to reform Ontario's welfare system.
The Social Assistance Reform Act would provide the legislative framework to fully implement
mandatory workfare and to create a separate income support program for people with disabilities.
This fulfils two key commitments made in the Common Sense Revolution.
The Social Assistance Reform Act would create two separate statutes: the Ontario Works Act
illld the Ontario Disability Support Program Act.
The Ontario Works Act would provide the legislative framework for the mandatory Ontario
Works program, which was announced exactly one year ago. When welfare was first introduced,
it was designed to be a transitional program of last resort to,'provide people with a stepping stone
back to work. The Ontario Works Act reflects these princiPles. As Ii government, we owe it to
' people on social assistance to provide them with the incentives and opportunities to become self-
sufficient. Equally, we owe it to taxpayers to ensure that their dollars are going to help people in
need.
The Ontario Works Act would fIrmly establish workfare as part of the welfare system. It would
also provide for the following:
. Single parents whose children are in school would be required to participate in Ontario
Works. It would give them opportunities to break the cycle of dependency on welfare.
They would be provided with assistance for child care expenses.
. The gove1nment's ability to combat fraud would be strengthened.
. The appeal process would be streamlined by'creating the Social BenefIts: Tribunal to
replace die Social Assistance Review Board. '
. EliminRfp the current two-tier delivery system by having the Ontario Works progrfun
delivered by municipalities.

The Ontario Disl/.bility Support Program Act would create a new program of income support
for people with disabilities. As you know from information I sent you last week, the Ontario
Disability Support Program would move people with disabilities off the welfare system and
provide them with greater opportunities for independence through a separate income and
employment support program.
.',
The Social Assistance Reform Act would replace the General Welfare Assistance Act, the Family
Benefits Act and the Vocational Rehabilitation Services Act. The government intends to invite
public input on the legislation as the bill proceeds through the legislative process.
These proposals will be considered by the provincial Legislature over the next few months and
changes could resulL Decisions are not expected until 1998 and the new program, if adopted,
would be phased in gradnally.
I have attached more detailed information about the Social Assistance Reform Act for your
reVIew.

Ontario KeeDs Promise to Reform Welfare Svstem
Community and Social Services Minister Janet Ecker today introduced legislation to reform
Ontario's welfare system. The Social Assistance Reform Act would provide the legislative
framework to fully implement mandatory workfare, to cOmbat fraud, and to create a separate
income support program for people with disabilities.
"The Social Assistance Reform Act fulfills two key commitments made in the Common Sense
Revolution -to reform Ontario's welfare system and to create an income support program to
meet the unique needs of people with disabilities," said Ms Ecker.
The Social Assistance Reform Act would create tWo separate statutes: the Ontario Works Act
and the Ontario Disability Support Program Act.
,
The Ontario Works Act restores the welfare system to its original purpose: a transitional
program of last resort that provides people on welfare with a stepping stone back into the
workforce.
"As a government, we owe it to people on social assistance to provide them with
opportunities to help them become self-sufficient. Equally, we owe it to taxpayers to ensure
that their dollars are going to help people truly in need," said Ms Ecker.
The Ontario Works Act would provide the legislative framework to complete the
implementation of the mandatory Ontario' Works program. by allowing for the participation of
sole support parents with children in school. : It would' finnIy establish workfare as part of the
welfare system.
"We have heard from participants that Ontario Works is helping them develop skills, make
contacts with potential employers, and give something back to 'their communities," said
Ms Ecker.

The Ontario Works Act would provide for the following:
.
Single parents whose children are in school would be required to participate in
Oritario Works. It would give them opportunities to break the cycle of
dependency on welfare. They would be provided with assistance for child care
expenses.
.
People convicted of welfare fraud would be ineligible for benefits for a three-
month period for a first offense and six months for subsequent offences.
.
Municipalities could use .!;ncrypted ~iometric technologies to collect information
that would help prevent fraud and abuse. Strict controls would prevent any
misuse of the information.
.
The current two-tier delivery system would be eliminated and the Ontario
Works program would be: delivered by municipalities.
- _,.',~.".:..c:-o--..=:~~_~;,."__,-,,,c--.:_::-~.::::'--~-'w',,- .
.
The government could pay landlords or utility companies directly when
necessary to ensure that participants are not at risk of losing their home or
basic services.
.
Coverage of dental and vision care Wdqld be mandatory for ~ children under
Ontario Works. Currently, these benefits are provided on a discretionary basis.
for children whose families are receiving general welfare aSsistance.
.
The process for Ontario Works participants and ODSP recipients to appe31
decisions regarding benefits would be streamlined to allow for quick resolution
of appeals.
The Ontario Disabilily Supporl Program Act would create a new program of income support
for people with disabilities, designed to meet their unique needs. It would move people with
disabilities off the welfare system and provide them with greater opportunities for
independence.
"r am pleased that the Ontario Disability Support Program announced last week has been
welcomed by people with disabilities," said MS Ecker. "With the introduction of the
legislation today, we are one step closer to implementing suggestions from people with
disabilities about how we can better meet their needs."

The Ontario Disabi/ily Support Program Act would:
. provide an income support program designed to meet the unique needs of
people with disabilities;

. remove the label !'perinanently unemployable". in recognition of the fact that
many people with disabilities have told us they don't like labels and that they
can and do want to work: and
. ensure that benefits would be protected if a job attempt fails.
People who are eligible to receive disability benefits under the Family Benefits program .
would have their benefits protected under the proposed program.
The Social Assistance Reform Act would replace the General Welfare Assistance Act, the
Family Benefits Act, and the Vocational Rehabilitation Services Act.
"Previous governments have failed to undertake the necessary overhaul of Ontario's welfare
system. despite the recognition that the system is in desperate need of change," said the
Minister. "We have a responsibility to people in need and to the taXpayers of this province to
fix ,the system. It's time to provide people with the opportunities they need to become self-
sufficient. " '

Social Assistance Reform Act, 1997
The Social Assistance Reform Act, 1991 (SARA), is intended to provide a legislative basis for the
reform of Ontario's welfare system. The welfare system has not been overhauled in more than
30 years.
SARA would create two new statutes:
. Ontario Works Act (OW A), and
. Ontario Disability Support Program Act (ODSP A).
SARA would replace three existing Acts:
. General Welfare Assistance Act,
. Family Benefits Act, and
"
. Vocational Rehabilitation Services Act,
Welfare Reform Initiatives To Date
As soon as it took office-in June 1995, the government began 1111fillil1g its comrmt"""nt to return the
welfare system to the fundamental principles on which it was created. The Ontario Works Act would
complete the process of returning welfare to a program of last resort to help people in financial need
through the transition to self-sufficiency.
Among these initial changes:
.
The implementation of the mandatory Ontmo Works program began through amendments to
regulations under the General Welfare Assistance Act. Phased-in implementation of Ontario
Works started in 1996. Over 20,000 people have since participated in one or more "",nl'latory
activities in over 20 co[nmllnitie$.
r
.
Welfare rates were adjusted to 10 per cent above the average of the othcc nine provinces.
Rccipjcnts were allowed to work to earn back the difference between the old and new rates
without penalty.

SlTonger eligibility and anti-fraud measures were put in place to ensure that assistance was available to
people truly in need. For example. the government established a welfare fraud hotline. which has
already resulted in the termination or reduction of benefits in 1.267 cases. achieving savings of
$8.5 million.
.
Sixteen- and 17-year olds were required to be in school or training and under adult supervision in order
to obtain assistance.
.
The definition of "spouse" was clarified to specify circumstances under which people living together
are not eligible for assistance. "
These welfare reforms have had an impact. Since June 1995. about 190.000 people have stopped relying
on social assistance. Research has shown that more than 61 per cent of those surveyed left the system for
employment-related reasons.
Ontario Works Act, 1997
The Ontario Works Act would continue the reform process and help achieve the four main objectives of
welfare reform by:
.
assisting people in financial need become employed and achieve self-sufficiency;
.
ensuring that assistance is directed to people who are r:ruly in need;
combatting fraud and abuse. and increasing accoui1~bility for taxpayers' dollars; and
.
.
improving service through a single-level delivety system by municipal government and reducing
administrative costs and duplication.
The proposed Act would create the legislation for Ontario Works. a mandatoty program designed to help
participants become self':sufficient and break the cycle of dependency on welfare. Welfare would again
become a stepping stone back to a paying job.
Under the OW A. basic financial assistance would be provided to participants. including financial
assistance for shelter and other basic needs. and mandatoty dental and vision care for children.
The OW A specifies the types of employment assistance that would be pl,lt in place to help participants
achieve self-sufficiency. including:
.
community participation activities that allow participants to acquire the skills. confidence. contacts and
O!>!","wnities to retUrn to work while conlTibuting to ,their communities;
r
. job searches;
.
services to suppon job searches;

. referral to basic education and job-specific skills training: and
. employment placement.
Participants in community placements would be covered by the Workers Compensation Act and the
Occupational Health and Safety Act.
Eligibility Requirements
In order to be eligible to receive financial assistance under Ontario Works, 'the following requirements
would have to be met:
. Participants would have to take part in employment measures such as job searches,
job placements and community placements.
. Participants would have to accept job offers.
. Once their children are in school, employable sole-support parents would be required to
participate in Ontario Works. Before that, they could participate on a voluntary basis.
. Some participants would have to agree to reimburse the government for the cost of assistance by
having a lien placed on their homes if they are on the system for a prolonged period of time. ,
. People must be in financial need in order to qualify for welfare. Assets could not be greater than
the limits set out in the Regulations.
If a recipient does not comply with the eligibility require~ents, slhe may be refused financial
assistance or denied assistance for a period ~f time.
Children and Adolescents
Provisions of the OW A rel!lting to children and those under the age of 18 include:
. Coverage of dental and vision care would be mandatory for all children under Ontario Works.
Currently, these benefits are provided on a discretionary basis for children whose families are
recei ving general welfare assistance. '
. Foster care allowances would continue for children who are in the temporary care of an adult
because their parents are unable to provide for their care.
. Financial assistance would not be paid directly to young people under the age of 18. Under
exceptional circumstances such as abuse, and only if the adolescent is attending school or an
approved training program and under adult supervision, financial assistance could be provided on
the young person's behalf to a trustee or guardian. r

The process for Ontario Works participants and ODSP recipients to appeal decisions regarding
benefits would be streamlined to allow for quick resolution of appeals. Key initiatives under the new
process include:
. Each delivi:ry agent would be required to establish an internal review process to address
complaints or disputes.
.. No appeal would be allowed to proceed until an internal review is requested and completed.
. A new Social Benefits Tribunal would be established to hear appeals. replacing the existing Social
Assistance Review Board.
. Fmancial assistance could be provided on an interim basis to a person appealing a decision. if the
Toounal is satisfied that the person would suffer financial harc;iship during the tuDe required to
complete the review. Interim assistance would be recovered as an overpayment if the appeal is
denied.
Fraud Prevention and Control
Welfare fraud can result from the use of false or multiple identities. or from the failure to disclose
accurate information about income and assets. Some people illegally collect benefits from more than
one government program. Welfare fraud can escape detection because of limits on the ability to
exchange information between programs. levels of government and jurisdictions.
. '
.
When a person is convicted of welfare fraud. thecoitviction has no impacton his or her eligIoility for
assistance.
Accordingly. the proposed Ontario Works Act contains the foUowing provisions:
. Regulation-making~ authority would make it possible to impose a period of ineligibility for people
convicted of defrauding the system.
. The use of new identification verification technologies would be pennined with strict controls to
prevent any misuse of the information. This would help distinguish between individuals with the
same last name and birthday and those making false or muhiple claims. It would help to protect
the system for those who truly need it by preventing fraud and abuse.
. The Minister of Community and Social S~rvices would be able to enter into agreements to sbare
and compare information with other ministries. agencies and levels of government for the
purposes of law enfolCement. program administration and researcb. The proposed Act sets out
strict safeguards to protect individual privacy. r
. The Ministry of Community and Social Services and each delivery agent would be able to
establish a social assistance fraud control function.

. The delivery agent would be able to designate family suppon workers to help Ontario Works
applicants. panicipants and their dependents pursue fmancial suppon from people with a legal
obligation to provide it. These powers would be prescribed in the regulations.
Direct Payments
The Ministry would have the ability to make payments directly to landlords or utility companies.
to ensure that panicipants' obligations are met and that they are not at risk oflosing their
accommodation or utilities.
Recovery of Overpayments
Currently, when a recipient receives funds that sIhe is not entitled to, the ability to recover this money
is limited. Under the Ontario Works Act. the Ministry could recover these overpayments when
panicipants move between social assistance programs or municipalities. Spouses who were also
receiving benefits would be jointly responsible for reimbursing overpaymenti
Stre<lmlined Delivery
As announced in the Who Does What initiative. a commitment has been made to eliminate the cU{rent
two-tier delivery system by having the Ontario Works program delivered by municipalities. To ensure
that available resources are spent directly on helping those in financial need. the number of
municipalities delivering assistance would be reduced from about 200 deliverers to approximately 50;
unnecessary administration. bureaucracy and duplication would be e1iminated.
.
"
Under the new legislation. the Minister could consolidate delivery agents by:
. designating geographic areaS of Ontario for the purposes of the OW A, thereby reducing the
number of deliverers; and
. designating delivery agents; such as a municipality or a district social services atlmini~tration
board, for each geographic area.
Following consolidation of delivery agents. municipalities would have the option of determining a
- fonnula for apponioning costs among conununities. If the communities could not reach agreement.
an apponiorunent fomwla based on assessment would be used.
FIrst Nations would continue to deliver the -.ye!fare program in their' communities through
Ontario Works pending negotiations withFlrst Nations representatives and the fcderal government.
Standards
,
The proposed legislation would enhance the authority of the Minister to set and enforce
proviDcc-wide program and delivery standards. Delivery agents would be required to meet provincial
operating and delivery standards.

The Ontario Disability Support Program Act responds to requests from the conununity to reform the
system for people with disabilities. The proposed Act would achieve three primary objectives:
. A new and separate program would be created for people with disabilities. The new program
would meettheir unique needs and protect their benefits.
. People ~ith disabilities would be moved out of the welfare system. where they never should have
been in the first place.
. Better employment supports would be avaiJable to help people who want to work.
Eligibility Criteria
People with disabilities have told the government that eligibility criteria should focus on the real
impact of restrictions in daily living activities. They have asked for criteria that would:
. no longer label people "pennanently unemployable";
. cover all aspects of a disability - personal care. functioning in the community and functioning in
the workplace;
. recognize cyclical physical or mental health conditions. and allow people to qualify if their
disability will be present for a year or more; and . . .,
"
. treat individual disabilities individually.
The Ontario Disability Support Program Act proposes new criteria to address these concerns. The
chart on the following page compares the proposed criteria to the criteria for eligibility under the
Family Benefits Act. -

expected to improve. Those with a permanent. seriOIJS disability would not be retested. This includes
disabilities that are cyclical in nature. . ..
People who are eligIble to receive disability benefits under the Family Benefits program would have
their benefits protected under the proposed program.
The exact wording oftbe eligibility criteria (existing and proposed) are provided in the Attachment.

Improved Financial Rules
Fmancial rules would be more generous for people with disabilities than is the case under the current
welfare system Changes would include:
.
higher asset limits:
.
increasing the amount of compensation awards that could be retained:
.
the ability to retain the cash surrender value of a life insurance policy and to take a loan against it
to cover the costs related to the advanced stages of a serious illness: and
.
enabling people with disabilities to benefit more from gifts and inheritances so that families can ,
provide a more secure future for their adult children.
Supports to Employment
The existing Vocational Rehabilitation Services program would be replaced with a progressive,
dynamic system of services that would improve employment opportunities for people with disabilities
who can and want to work. Services that would be available include:
.
employment planning assistance:
.
individua1ized supports to job seelcers with disabilities;
.
technological aids and devices and human suppo{iS;
.
pre-employment services;
.
on-going job supports; and
.
-
employment development strategies.
Any person for whom a disability presents a substantial barrier to employment would be eligible for
these services, whether or not slhe was receiving income assistance under the proposed ODSP A.
Where feasible, funding would be provided directly to the individual so that sIhe would be able to
choose the aid, device or support that best helps meet hislher employment goals.
ODSP Supports to Employment would be a Separate and distinct program for people with disabilities
who want to prepare for work or keep jobs. There would be no m~ndatory requirements for people
with disabilities to participate in employment-related activities. r

The Canadian Cross Training Cicb (Durham Area) is pleased to infonn Clarington Council and
staff that the 1997 Ontario Duathloll Championship that was held at Cedar Park on Sunday May
25, 1997 was a great success with 200 'athletes from Ontario, Quebec and other provinces
participating. The success of the race was due in part to the assistance and co-operation the race
organizers received from the Municipality of Clarington. Therefore, I would like to fonnally
thank Council for supporting our race. . . ,
,
I would also like to thank and recognize a few of your municipal staff who assisted us greatly in
organizing and staging the race. Ron Baker of the Public Works Department provided professional
guidance and direction in assisting us in obtaining all of the required approvals. The equipment
that was loaned to us and the updates on the construction activity in the area of the race was greatly
appreciated. Without the 'lSsist3nce of Ron P~er the staging of the race would have been a lot
more difficult.
From the Community Services Department, I would like to thank Carol Gonder who helped to
arrange the loan of the municipal bicycle racks and who participated on the race day as one of the
volunteer bicycle course race marshals.
From the Parks Department, I would like to thapk Gary Cox who provided assistance with the
organizing and the movement of the bicycle racks".

AGENDA
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GOVERNMENT COMMITS FURTHER $25 MILLION
TO FIGHT SERIAL PREDATORS
LONDON, Ontario, June 23, 1997 - Solicitor General and MiniSter of Correctional SeIVices
Robert Runciman today released his Ministry's report in response to key recommendations of
Mr, Justice Archie Campbell's review of the Bernardo investigation. The Government in the
1997 Budget committed $25 million over the next five years to support the ~evelopmenl and
implementation of state-of-the art investigative systems.
"The govenunent's strategy in implementing the recommendations of the Campbell Report is to
help protect the public from serial predators and to develop a new way of conducting these
critical inve:ttigations," said Mr. Runciman. "Poli~e investigators from various jurisdictions will
no longer work in isolation, but will have access to the same vital information at the sanle time.
That will save lives."
The Government's investment will cnsure the implememation of several initiatives. including:
.
,
A standard major case management computer syStl,m that will manage
all relevant case information about suspects, vehicles, witnesses and
tips, etc,;
.
Automation of scientific testing/analysis and computer systems in the
Centre of Forensic Sciences and the Office of the Chief Coroner to
make information more re.'ldily available and to create effective
tracking mechanisms;
.
Support for the operation of the Provincial ViCLAS (Violent Crime
linkage and AnaWsis System) Centre. ViCLAS is a powerful
illVestigative tool that supports early identification of related cases
and earlier apprehension of serial offenders;
J.Ci'I:. :iY.

. lmproved and new investigative training that addresses the specialized
nature and demands of major cases;
. Development of new province-wide standards for major case
management and investigation such as processes for suspect elimination,
tip management and crime scene examinations; and
. DevElopment of a new Serial Pred<ltor and VIOlent Cri",e Unit, within
the Criminallntelligence Service of Ontario, which will oversee major
multi-jurisdictional case investigations.
"The Ontario government is committed to addressing serious pvblic safety concerns, In response
to the Campbell report, the government is introducing fundamental changes to better protect
Ontario from these tyPes of crimes," said Mr. Runciman, "From its inception, this work has been
driven by police investigators and other practitioners who have the e){perience to design the most
effective system in Canada to catch serial predators."
The new system suppons early recognition of linked offences, with the ultimate payoff being
quicker and more efficient identification of the stlspect. The police conununity will be able to
draw from a small pool of highly trained, seasoned police officers who can lead linked major case
investigations anywhere in Ontario. Investigators who need it will have access to infonnation and
resources from across the province.

CAMPBELL RESPONSE
.. STEPS TAKEN TO DA TE
Mr. Justice Campbell provided a blueprint for the investigation
of serial crimes and recognized changes and advancements that
have already been made.
To date. the govemment has taken action in a number of areas central to
Mr. Justice Campbell's recommendations:

Pathology to address the shortage of trained forensic pathologists,
improve the level of trainil:lg, and achieve greater consistency in
forensic work undertaken in Ontario;
. Started the process for the use of common, computerized major
case management technology for investigations of serial crimes,
This system will allow police services to compare information
(including information about suspects. vehicles. witnesses and tips)
Quickly and accurately across jurisdictions;
. Introduced regulations to improve inter-jurisdictional communir.ation
2nd information sharing;

submissions will be processed and analyzed by the Provincial
ViCLAS Centre, (ViCLAS is an RCMP-developed, nation-wide
database established to ensure that possible linkages between
crimes and patterns are identified as early as possible,);
. Supported the development of a successful model to ensure
seasoned senior officers manage selected major cases;
. Enable experienced police managers to update their skills by
developing a new cross-jurisdictional case management course:
. Introduced a Policing Services Manual guideline to assist Ontario
pOlice services in the investigation of criminal harassment: and
. Established in early 1995, a Serial Crimes Project Team was
established to research and recommend structures, skills and
resources which police need in serial crime investigation,
The proposed implementation strategy has the strong support of the police
community. This exemplifies the cooperation and concern with developing the
best means of handling inter-jurisdictional crime in the future. An
implementation committee will be established soon to ensure that front-line police
representatives can contribute to implementation plans that tailor the Campbell
recommendations to the realities of police investigation.
Under the direction of the Steering Committee: Project Director Bill VanAllen, a
Detective Inspector with the OPP on secondmemt to the ministry, will oversee
implementation of the ministry's response to the Campbell report
recommendations.

People with developmental disabilities want to contribute to their communities in a IIle'Iningful and contributing way
The Clarington Project was originaIly initiated due to the Jack of supports and services available locaIly to people with
developmental disabilities and their families living in Clarington
The Jack of supports in Clarington is recognized by OshawalClarington Association for Community Living (the agency
mandated to provide services to people with developmental disabilities living in Clarington).
Resources are concentrated in the Oshawa core
Cutbacks in funding have eroded O.CAC.L. programs making it difficult to reallocate existing resources to Clarington
There is an expectation from our current government that local communities become involved in creating solutions to
community issues

CITY OF TORONTO, SECOND BILL
The City of Toronto Act, 1997, which became law In April, provided the basic leglslatlve
framework to establish the new municipal corporation. It was intended to Indicate overall
government direction, as well as enable the municlpal election to proceed on schedule.
The government said from the outset that it would be introducing a second bill to deal with
administrative, technical and spaclnc transitional matters around the move to one strong, unified
city.
This second bill would ensure that certain local boards and commlsslons continue to function,
and that the pensions and benefits olloeal boards, municipal employees and retirees are
protected and continue in the new city.
."
The bill would also ensure the new city hIlS the powers currently afforded Metro Council through
the Municipality of the Metropolitan Toronto Act.
Operational Issues
In any situation where municipalities join together, there Is the need to deal with various
transitional issues. For example, each municipality currently has an official plan to guide Its
future land use and development. This second bill clarifies that these plans would remain in
effect until the new city council approves a new plan, or makes changes. In this way, business
and development IndIJ5Iries and residents could be assured the same rules would be In place on
and after January 1, 199B.
Similarly, the financial status and service levels acrosS existing municipalities vary. There Is a
nead to deal with these differences to ellow for an ordellj! and fair transition. This second bill
would permit the new city council, If It so chooses, to examine all assets and liabilities, including
the surpluses, deficits, reserve funds and debts 01 the existing municipalities, and to take steps
to address any imbalances. Reserve funds. for example, could be used to benefit taxpayers In
areas where they were raised.
The new city counCIl wolJld also be allowed to provlde for B speclBllevy to retain a higher level of
service that existed in a former municipality. Different levels of service could Include any service
previously provided by the Metro municipalities.
In addition, the bill confirms there wouid be one health board, one library board, one historical
board and one parking authority to ensure a cohesive structure is In place in the unified city.
Other local boards such as commlJnlty recreation centre boards, museum boards, Business
improvement Area boards and advisory boards will continue untll such time as the new council
decides on any changes.

Dear Mayor Hamre:
AGENDA
After a brief hiatis, I am pleased to once again provide you with a summary of
International media coverage from June 9-13 highlighting electricity industry
issues and events.
This summary covers issues of interest in our backyard as well as in the
United States. Closer to home, you'll read about Ontario Hydro's campaign
to create a competitive market for electricity in Ontario, and their investigation
into copper and zinc emissions to Lake Ontario.
You'll read about the emerging trend in Uriit'ed States to smaller, lower cost
and potentially portable power producing units of less than 1 Mw. A new fuel
called "Orimulsion" captures interest as well, but is not without its
environmental downside, Electric Vehicle production incentives help shape
the industry as it continues to grow in the southern states.
Finally, the Long Island Lighting Company gets some attention as they sit
poised to diversify into fibre optic and cable communications businesses.
I hope that this infonnation proves to be of interest to you.

ONTARIO HYDRO
"Groups Urging Probe of Hydro's Dumping Into Lake Ontario"
TORONTO GLOBE & MAil, 6/11/97, p. A6/-/ Jill Mahoney/ A coalition of environmental groups is urging the
Ontario government to investigate Ontario Hydro's dumping of copper and zinc into lake Ontario.
The power company admitted its Pickering nuclear plant has intentionally flushed the metals into the lake since
the late 1980s, and it began its own inquiry into the matter last month. But critics contend an independent probe
is also needed to assure credibility.
Ontario's Environment Minister Norm Sterling said the government will consider the request and provide an
answer within 60 days. Meanwhile, a report from Ontario Hydro's "comprehensive" intemal investigation, which
relies on third- party experts, is expected by month's end.
"Hydro Starts Major Campaign Against Breakup" ,
TORONTO GLOBE & MAIL, 6/11/97, p. A6/-I James Ruskl Ontario Hydro has launched a "vigorous
campaign" to convince the government that it can "create a competitive market for electricity" if it remains intact.
The Ontario government has nearly completed a white paper that may recommend splitting Hydro into several
private companies. But Allan Kupscis, the utility's president and CEO, said that competition could be assured if
Hydro set up separate entities to handle generation, transmission and retail sales. An independent govemment
agency could "act as the traffic cop that would direct the flow of electrons through the grid." Hydro's $16 billion
in stranded costs "could not be paid if the company were to operate on a commercial basis," according to
Kupscis.
Splitting Hydro is favored by a coalition of electricity users. Jake Brooks, executive director of the Independent
Power Producers Society of Ontario, observes that no other deregulation plan in the world has left a monopoly
intact. ' ,
. ~
,
Robert Kanduth of the Municipal Electric Assn., said his group will recommend that not one but several
generation companies be spun off from Hydro. "A single generating company should not have control over
transmission," he said.
"Competitive Electric Market Seen as Boon to NE and Eastern Canada"
BOSTON GLOBE ONLINE, 6/4197/-1 AssociatcdPressl New England governors and eastern Canadian
premiersf enthusiastically embraced the "mutual benefits" that US electricity deregulation Is likely to bring to the
two regions. . '.
New England businesses and residents pay high power rates largely because they must import so much power
from elsewhere in the country. Rhode Island, the first state to enact deregulation, will open its electricity market
this summer.
Eastern Canada. on the other hand, has "abundant energy" that now can be sold in the US. "For the first time
in history, New England can be at the start of the energy pipeline instead of the end," said Maine Gov. Angus
King (I) said at an annual meeting of officials from the two countries.
Newfoundland Premier Brian Tobin hopes that the changes in.New England will spur development of two new
dams on the Churchill River, projects that could produce 3,000 megawatts of power per year.

"Energy trade in the Northeast and Canada 'will double in the next five years," according to Vito Stagliano, a
consultant with Energy Security Analysis who spoke at the meeting.
Stagliano, a former official in the Energy Dept, said that deregulation in New England "could close many of the
region's older fossil fuei and nuclear plants." In the future, when choosing a new power provider, Stagliano
"guessed" that New Englanders will prefer hydro power," which would favor Canadian sources.
Environmentalist, however, have objected to "massive" dams in Quebec. Hydro-Quebec President Andre
Caille has said that today the utility is interested in small projects "that can come on line more quickly."
INDUSTRY RESTRUCTURING
"Future Shrinks for Big Power Plants"
CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 6/2/97, section 4, p, 1/-1 David Young! Thanks to competitive pressures and new
technology, small power plants will playa "big role in the future" of electric utilities,
The economics of small plants will enable power companies to keep rates low without borrowing billions to build
large facilities: Construction costs for a 1,OOO-Mw coal-fired plant run more than $1 billion, while a nuclear
facility "goes for four times" that price.
New micro-turbines may make it feasible to build very small power units, the c:HICAGO TRIBUNE reports. For
example, Commonwealth Edison is considering installing "mini-generators" that would produce less than .1 .~w .
of power, according to James O'Connor, chairman of ComEd's parent company, Unicom. The generators
would protect customers' computer systems that could be harmed by a .service disruption. .
Erroll Davis, president and CEO of the parent company of W~nsin Power and L19ht Co. says that the power
plant of the future will be "mounted on a rail car" to allow it to trlwel "wherever and whenever you need it"
MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS
"PacifiCorp May Finance UK Purchase In Part by Selling Telecom Business"
WALL STREET JOURNAL, 6112/97, p. A4/-I Benjamin Holden! Portland, OR-based PacifiCorp has reached a
tentative agreement to acquire UK-based Energy Group PLC for $6 billion, with part of the deal likely to be
financed by the sale of PacifiCorp's telecommunications business, "according to people familiar with the
situation." '
Sources said the boards of both companies have approved the takeover share price of $11.40 per share, about
a 20% premium over Energy Group's closing share price in the London exchange yesterday. A final agreement
"still hinges on completing the financing package" but could come as early as Friday,
While both companies declined to discUss the deal, sources said PacifiCorp will likely seek to sell Its Pacific
Telecom unit, "which the company believes should fetch about $1.5 billion," Other assets needed to finance the
acquisition could include some of the Energy Group's US coal mines, as well as PacifiCorp's independent
power and financial service businesses.
Internationa1 Media Monitor
Finance , Business Integration
PacifiCorp CEO Frederick Buckman, who would retain his post if the final agreement is reached, "is expected to
retain virtually the entire Energy Group senior management team." A final agreement is also expected to
provide an exit strategy for Energy Group 'shareholders who bought stock after its spinoff from UK-based
Hanson PLC.
DEAL LOOKS GOOD FOR PACIFICORP - ANALYSTS NatWeslSecurities analyst Ed Tirrello said the
acquisition could "provide considerable value and upside potential" to PacifiCorp. He said Energy Group may
have enough cash to pay a one-time dividend of more than $1.5 billion to PacifiCorp. Other analysts "increased
their earnings estimates for PacifiCorp in light of the proposed deaL"
,SEE ALSO: "An Oral Accord by PacifiCorp Is Seen In British Utility Deal," NEW YORK TIMES, 6/12/97, p. D7,
Agis Salpukas, which reports that sources said PacifiCorp has reached an oral agreement to make the
acquisition.
"Regulators May Unplug Electric Utilities' Merger"
WASHINGTON POST, 6110/97, p. C1/-/Marlha Hamilton! The planned merger of DC-based Potomac Electric
Power Co. and Baltimore Gas & Electric Co. into Constellation Energy Corp" announced In 1995 and expected
to be approved by now, has been Impeded by several obstacles that have "thrown into doubt both the timing
and ultimate outcome of the merger,"
On April 16, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Maryland Public Service Commission
approved the merger, but the Maryland PSC did so "with strings attached," requiring rates be reduced by $56
million.
On May 1, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, which represents 2,600 Pepco employees, filed
suit In the Baltimore County Circuit Court, asking the court to determine whether the merger was "in the public
interest" The court will hold a hearing to decide whether the PSC or the court has jurisdiction in the case.
Court procedures could put the merger on hold for "as much as a year."

FUEL
"Fuel Fight"
NATIONAL JOURNAL, 617/97, p. 1126/-1 Margaret KrizI As competition comes to the electricity industry, the
demand for cheap power is expected to alter the nation's power- generation mix. In the short term, experts
predict "an enormous boon" for utilities with coal-fired power plants, but they say that over time, less-efficient
nuclear plants will be replaced by natural gas-fueled plants.
Coal currently provides 55% of the nation's power and "is cheap, plentiful and expected to dominate power
markets in the decades to come." But as the Clinton admin. moves to address intemational climate change
concerns and to improve outdoor air quality in the US, the oldest coal plants could be shut down or forced to
install costly polIution-control equipment
Though it has been "plagued by safety concerns," nuclear power provides 20% of the nation's electricity. But
the Dept of Energy's Energy Information Admin. predfcts that nuclear power will produce only about half as
much electricity by 2015, when operating licenses at 45 of the nation's 109 nuclear plants will have expired.
Natural gas is "in line to pick up" customers formerly served by nuclear power, but gas companies fear
proposals to mandate the sale of electricity from renewable sources would "directly cuf' into their market share. '

Polls have indicated that consumers "are willing to pay more for nonpolluting" power and some lawmakers
argue that competition will "take care of environmental concerns." Congress "is gravitating toward a mandate
for renewable energy. "However, most energy industry executives agree the renewable technologies "need to
make significant engineering breakthroughs" to make a real contribution to the nation's energy grid.
"Venezuela Fuel Gets Second Shot in Florida; Global OK to Follow?"
JOURNAL OF COMMERCE, 6/6/97, p. A1/-/ Arthur Gottschalk! Orimulsion, a controversial and inexpensive
tar-based fuel from Venezuela, "has taken on a renewed glow" following a Florida appeals court decision last
month that reversed an order banning it frorn the state. If Juno Beach-based Florida Power & Light Co. is
successful in gelling the fuel approved despite widespread environmental opposition, "it would mark a major
turning point in Venezuela's efforts to gain US market share for the fuel."
Florida Gov. Lawton Chiles (D) and his Cabinet had blocked FPL from buming the fuel at a power plant in the
state. A mixture of bitumen, water and a chemical emulsifier, Orimulsion Is 20% to 30% cheaper than fuel oil.
So far, Venezuela has contracts to provide smaU amounts of the fuel to utilities In Canada, Denmark, Japan,
Lithuania and China. Italy's state-owned INEL will test 500,000 tons over the next six months. But in Canada,
a provincial regulatory body "has received complaints that Orimulsion has caused an increase in smog, along
with sulfurous odors."
FPL has said using Orimulsion at its Manatee power plant would save customerS $4.4 billion over 20 years.
But "no fewer than 21 state and toeal groups," including the SARASOTA [FL] HERALD TRIBUNE and the
TAMPA BAY TRIBUNE-TIMES, have lined up in opposition to its use.

"Electric Car Enthusiasm Sputters as Chiles Vetos Incentive Plan"
PALM BEACH POST, 6/2/97/-1 De Ann Weimer/ Florida GOY: lawton Chiles' (D) veto of an incentive plan for
the purchase of electric vehicles may have "bumped Florida froin first to third in the race along the East Coast
to capture the electronic vehicle manufacturing and sales market"
On May 28, Chiles turned down a plan that would have given "$3,000 to the first 300 Florida residents who
purchase an electric vehicle." Car manufacturers were waiting for the govemor to approve the measure before
they launched a large- scale campaign.
Without an incentive package, Virginia and Georgia are more appeaiing to car manufacturers than Florida.
Both states developed incentive plans and offer the warm climate and flat terrain ideal for electric vehicles.
INTERNET
"Internet WiD Help Shape Utility Industry's Future"
ELECTRIC UGHT AND POWER, 5/97 Issue, p. 301 John Henry/ The utility industry is "at the beginning of a
major transition in Information technology" and must upgrade their technology to meet the needs of the Open
Access Same-tirne Information System (OASIS) market, according to Power Navigator President John Henry.
Internationa1 Media Monitor
Finance , Business Integration
Deregulation "dramatically increases the need for Information." Most utilities do not currently have the
"computer Infrastructure" technology capabilities to jump into this new market. Despite actions by the Federal
Electric Regulatory Commission in April 1991>, the utility industry has failed to meet FERC's January 3, 1997
deadline to upgrade their technology. Currently less than 50 of the 172 transmission providers can be "reliably"
accessed.
Henry: These new technologies "require full-scale computer- based automation before electric utilities will be
able to cope with the increased complexities of retail competition."
BRIEFLY NOTED
"L1LCO in the Data Biz? Maybe"
LONG ISLAND NEWSDAY, 6110/97, p. B311-1 Lou Dolinar, Columnl NEWSDAY computer columnist Lou
Dolinar reports that electric utilities are in a prime position to offer telephone, cable and Inlemet connections via
their fiber-optic systems. He suggests out that while the Long Island Lighting Company is not conSidering this
business at the moment, the proposition has merit. LI LCO has laid 80 miles of fiber cable since 1995 and
"several hundred" miles more is on the way.
Dolinar reports that as many as 85 utilities are entering such ancillary businesses. For example, Boston Edison
plans to offer-cable television service, and Columbus-based American' Electric Power Co. wants to provide
telephone service.
In addition to already having powerful fiber-optic systems, Dolinar maintains that utilities would have
advantages in the "info-highway biz" because they own rights-of-way, have "ample staff and established
relations with customers."
Dolinar: "Blue-sky stuff? Sure. But with a potential for lower rates and:,broadbandservices to the home, we
can dream."

"Unicom Plans to Enter Natural Gas Businessft
CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 5/30/97, section 3, p. 2/-1 Davld Youngl Unicom, Illinois' largest utility holding company,
is preparing to re-enter the natural gas business, signaling the course the company plans to take in a
deregulated marketplace.
Unicom Chairman James O'Connor told shareholders last Thursday that the company Is talking with "nationally-
known gas CXlmpanies... to expand the energy services menu that we offer." O'Connor "ruled our' mergers and
acquisitions to achieve that goal. But Vice Chairman Leo Mullen said the company will seek to become a
"national provider of energy services." In preparation for deregulation, the company has formed Unicom
Energy Services Inc. to offer "one-stop shopping" for energy and such services as energy monitoring and
efficiency upgrades. Other electric utilities including Charlotte, NC-based Duke Power Co. and Portland
General Co. in Oregon are involved in gas-electric mergers.
Unicom also faces $9 billion to $10 billion in stranded col;ts, Mullen said.

BULLETlN _.
No.1, May 26,1997
The Transition Team believes that regular communication regarding its progress is extremely
impOrtant. We have .designed this fax Bulletin .whichwill be issued regularly to update Municipal
Councils and administration as the workplan progresses.
Mission
The mission of the Transition Team is to facilitate an orderly transition to the new City of
Toronto by providing the best possible advice to the incoming CitrCouncil. To do this, we will
be providing citizens, businesses, municipal employees and elected officials with: '
.
a coordinated approach to making recollUDendations to the new Council in accordance
with the provisions of Bill 103; and ,
. ~
.
,
oppOrtunities to participate in a fair and open process which is accesSIble, inclusive and
sensitive.
Timing
It is our intent that draft recollUDendations be completed for the fall of 1997 prior to the
",,,,';<:ipal election. Final recollUDendations to the new City Council must be completed before
year-end, identifying immediate actions and a timetable l!i1d options for future actions the new
Council may wlsh to contemplate.
Approach
The Transition Team wishes to draw on the wealth of expenise available in the municipalities.
To that end, we are establishing projects teams comprising municipal staff; community expertise,
and consuhznts as appropriate. Project teams are designed to look at clusters of services. We
believe this will facilitate innovation, promote cross-fertilization ofideas and the sharing of best
practices.
1
The entire Transition Team will together focus on issues of governance and the hiring of key
executives for the new City.
The clusters and team leads are:
. Alan Tonks - works, transportation and environmental management; parks and
recreation
. Willis Blair - public utility commissions; agencies, boards and commissions
. Michael Gee - labour and human resources; administrative services; organi'r-ltional
structure; information technology
. Lois Griffin - 1998 budget preparation; health, social and housing services
. Paul Sutherland - community councils and neighbourhood committees; 1998 budget
preparation; information technology
. John Wimbs _ economic development; planning and development services; culture, arts
and heritage
The CAOslCity Managers have agreed to facilitate the assignment of appropriate staff to project
teams. Some project teams are already up and running while others will be established over the
next two weeks. Still other teams may be drawn together as needed.
Information Sharing
, ,
We are anticipating that municipalities will be able to share with us an inventory of the transition
initiatives being undenaken by their respective municipalities. We will then make an assessment
of the work being done, any further work that may be required and areas where work could
potentially be coordinated.
Last week the CAOs/City Managers met with the Transition Team in the first of what is
intended to be a series of regular meetings during the transition process.' The focus of the initial
meeting '\vas discussion of proposed plans r,egarding transition, identification of those matters
which the Ciry ~1anagers believe should be priorities of the Transition Team, and exploring the
most effective way for the CAOs/City Managers to assist the Transition Team in implementing
its work program. .
One of the items discussed was communicating Y1ith municipal employees. The Team proposed
that this be done on a joint basis with the respeCtive Councils and we will be communicating
with Councils in this regard.

The importance of a coordinated approach to public coo,sultation ~ also clearly a matter of
mutual concern. Regarding the functions to be assigned to community councils and the
establishment of neighbourhood committees, we intend to hold six public forums in early
summer. It is our understanding that a number of municipalities are preparing reports regarding
community councils and neighbourhood committees and some have indicated their intention to
conSult with their constituents on this issue. We are hoping these additional consultations will
, take'place.- Farfrom"beinga"duplication;the-rep-orts'ahd feedback receiVed by Councils from
their oWn CQmmllnities will provide valuable input to the Transition Team as we work towards
preparing a diSC1'~sion paper and draft recommendations for our final consultation in the fill1 with
respect to this matter.

BULLETIN
Fonnal Public Consultation Begins June 17
While the Ontario government has established the basic framework for the new City, all
the key decisions have been left to the Mayor and the new'Council to make after they take
office in the new year.
-
One of the Toronto Transition Team's roles is to consult with the public and make
recommendations to the new Council on transitional issues and the duties of community
councils and neighbourhood committees.
The team will hold a series of public consultation meetings on coinmunity councils and
neighbourhood committees at each of the seven municipal halls between June 17 and
July 10_
OncMhe initial consultation meetings have taken plAce, the Toronto Transition Team will
prepare a draft report outlining its findings. This report will be the subject of further
public consultation in the fall.
Comnumity Councils
Our new City will have six community councils -- one for each of the existing
municipalities within Metro. Community councils will be committees of the new City
Council, with their membership drawn from the neVI.Council. Councillors, therefore,
will not only sit on the new City Council, but also on the community council for their
area.
Community councils are not a new idea, as they exist in various forms in some other
Canadian cities such as Halifax and Winnipeg. They can serve many purposes. For
example they can determine service levels such as recreational programs, or manage
recreational facilities such as arenas, or make decisions on some local'planning matters.
I
.'
Community councils will make sure that broad community concerns are heard,
understood and addressed by City CounciL It will be up to the City Council to
determine what functions and authority will be delegated to community councils.

Neighbourhood committees
Community concerns could also be gathered through neighbourhood committees.
Internationally, cities have set up committees of volunteers to advise municipal counciL
These committees draw upon the experience of residents to ensure municipal councillors
understand local, concerns and protect the qualities that make each neighborhood unique.
Our fIrst elected City Council will have to decide on the role of neighbourhood
committees in the new City.
Public Meetings
In June and early July, the Toronto Transition Team will hold public consultation
meetings at each municipal hall on the topic of community councils and neighbourhood
committees. Some questions that may be considered are:
. What should the roles and responsibilities of community councils be?
. Should there be formalized neighbourhood committees?
. How should neighbourhood committees work?
. Where and how often should community councils and neighbourhood committees
meet?
. How should members of neighbourhood commi~es be selected?
. Should neighbourhood committees act for established ratepayer groups,
neighbourhood associations and other advisory bodies?
Metropolitan Toronto residents are encouraged to attend one of the following public
consultation meetings:
Citizens are being asked to contact the team offIce to indicate their interest in speaking at
one of the respective meetings. Further background information on community councils
and neighbourhood committees is also available.

Drafting a Recommended Budget for 1998
Another of the Toronto Transition Team's roles is to make recommendations to the new
City Council on a proposed operating and capital budget for 1998 that provides for
property tax stability and continuity of service delivery.
Members of the Toronto Transition Team are working with municipal CAOs and
Treasurers to establish a workplan for preparing the recOlIUIlended 1998 budget.
Each municipality has created a working group to consider issues such as: reviewing the
financial capacity of the new qty; inventorying reserve funds; and establishing common
capital fmancing policies.
The workplan calls for a consolidated initial budget to be ready in August. Many of the
existing Councils are establishing budget committees to work with their staff in prep~g
this initial budget information for the team.
During August and September, the Toronto Transition Team and municipal staff will
analyze the budget to look at services and common service frameworks, and to identify
costs and savings resulting from unification. The team will also be looking for input from
the public on these issues.
The final product will be a recommended capital and operating budget for the new City
and a proposed budget review process that will include further public consultation.

BULLETIN
Project Teams Hard at Work
The Toronto Transition Team has established a number of project teams to assist it in "
addressing its work program. Each project team comprises municipal and/or agenCy
staff and is headed by a Transition Team member. The following list indicates the
current project teams, the Transition Team member lead and, where identified,the
municipal staff lead.
All current project teams are up and running. Other project teams may be established,
as required; the project list would then be updated and distributed to all interested
parties to notify them of any changes. . ...
...
Many of the project teams will also be assisted by an external panel, who will bring
forward ideas and act as .sounding boards. for ideas generated by the teams. The role
and membership of these panels may vary depending on the nature of the particular
service being reviewed. There may also be the need to hire ~nsultants to provide
advice and to review material produced by the project teams.
Because there are many areas of mutual interest and linkage among the project: teams,
they will work closely together and exchange information throughout the process to
ensure effective decision-making.
Project Team Work Plans for Service Reviews
The work programs for the service reviews (project teams 6.1 to 8.11 on the attached
list) follow a similar approach.
A project team's first priority is to develop a business plan. including identification of
goals, objectives, principles, timelines, and end products.
Then, there needs to be a .current analysis. of a project team's service area This
involves such tasks as identification of clients, current service levels, staffing, and'
operating costs and revenues.

Next, all opportunities and options need to be considered, including such things as best
practices, possible efficiencies and cost savings, and possible new organizational
structures.
Issues will be identified where the new City Council may need to consider or review
potential options and recommendations. This could include any legislative or by~law
cnanges that may be required, or any technological and transitional issues that may
need to be addressed.
Rnally, the teams need to prepare options and recommendations for service delivery
and organization, including priorities for implementation. It is recognized that some of
the changes required to implement certain elements of municipal amalgamation may
take time to complete, so priorities will need to be established.
The project teams' reports will be presented to the Transition Team for consideration.
In addition to the information the Transition Team will receive from the project teams
and external panels, the public and municipal councils will also be consulted in the fall.
Following this consultation process, the Team will revise its recommendations, as
required, and p.resent them to the new City Council for its consideration.
Executive Director and Other Staff Join Team
,
The Transition Team is pleased to announce the appointment of Claire Tucker-Reid as
Executive Director to the Transition Team. She will playa pivotal role in the Transition
Team's work over the coming months, with prime responsibility for managing the
Team's over-all work program. Claire is currently Commissioner of Parks, Recreation

RECONSTRUCTION OF REGIONAL ROAD 3
FROM EAST OF SOllNA RD. TO THE ENNISKlllEN BRIDGE
CLARINGTON
Iune 30. 1997
The 1997 construction of Regional Road 3 from east of Solina Rd. to the Enniskillen Bridge is
scheduled to begin July7th, The contractor for this project is Harnden & King Construction. If you have
any questions regarding the construction please feel free to call anyone of the following:
Region of Durham Project Supervisor: Gary Farrington

Mobile # 434-9223
The Traffic Construction Signs will be installed in the next few weeks to let you know when this
section of road will be closed to through traffic. The road will be open for local traffic only, but delays
during construction can be expected. Closin~t,he road to through traffic during construction enables
the contractor to finish the job laster, improves the overall construction process and the quality of the
finished product.

AGflrfDJlt PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS ELECTED
OTTAWA - Members of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities have recently elected new Officers
and a new National Board of Directors at FCM's 60th Annual Conference held in Ottawa, Ontario.
In his inaugural address to delegates, newly elected President Deputy Mayor of Winnipeg, Jae Eadie
spoke of the challenges facing municipal governments nearing the millennium. "We have nON
reached a point in time in Canada where the cavalier treatment of municipal governments by other
orders of government must end". Eadie was commenting on the late-century phenomenon cf
offloading where federal and provincial governments - are passing responsibility for many different
functions to municipal governments. "Whatever it's called, and however it's done - what it amounts
to, more often than not, is that centIaJ governments are passing the buck, without passing the bucks,"
said Eadie.
1,100 delegates were informed of the inventory FCM conducted across Canada that begin to tell the
tale ofoffloading and the future work of the Federation on that front. Delegates also discussed policies
and issues ranging from crime prevention with the release of a joint study with (NCPC) the National
Crime Prevention of Canada on the ineffectiveness of existing crime prevention programs, to the need
of long-term commitment for a second infrastructure program.
A resolution by Mayor Philip Owen of Vancouver, calling for a concerted effort by all orders of
govemments to fight drugs and crime, captivated the interest of the entire membership and generated
a high level of media interest. In addition, media coverag~,.on the FCM Conference was extensiw
across the country marked by articles on offloading, crime prevention and infrastructure. Samples of
media stories will be posted on FCM's web site.
The new National Board of Directors will work to ensure that the Federation's issues remain high on
the agenda of the new Uberal govemment. Issues include the introduction of legislation on negotiated
refonns on federal payment of property taxes in the House of Commons, a long-term national strategy
on a tripartite municipal infrastructure program, improved capital assistance for transferred federal
airports, development of high speed rail as the cornerstone of a modern national passenger ra~
system, employer-provided transit passes as a non-taxable benefit and the call for a national highway
system.

NEXT STEP TO A FAIR AND EQUITABLE PROPERTY TAX SYSTEM INTRODUCED
Toronto - Today, Finance Minster Emie Eves Introduced a second piece of legislation
aimed at making the Ontario property tax system fairer.
The Fair Municipal Finance Act (no. 2 j, ensures the fair tax treatment of farms, small
businesses and other commercial and industrial properties; gives muniCipalities more
flexibility to respond effectively to local priorities; further protects low-income seniors
and the disabled; and closes tax loopholes to help stabilize the tax base for the future.
The Fair Municipal Finance Act, which received Royal Assent on May 27, 1997, laid the
foundation for falmess in property assessment and taxation across the province.
Today's legislation contains a number of measures that build upon that foundation.
"This govemment is listening and responding to advice and concems put forward by
individuals, small businesses, municipalities and a number of other groups," said Mr.
Eves. "The legislation introduced today, coupled with the reforms in the Fair Municipal
Finance Act, will give all Ontario taxpayers a system of property assessment and
taxation that is fair, consistent, understandable and accountable."

Fair Municipal Finance Act, 1997 (no. 2)
Backgrounder
Following is an overview of some key components of the Fair Munioipal Finance Aot,
1997 (no. 2).
Multi-tiered commercial tax rate
This provision allows upper and single-tier municipalities to set lower tax rates for lower-
valued commercial properties. Upper and stngle-tier municipalities would have the
power to create up to three bands of assessment for this purpose. A municipality may
set a threshold of assessed value appropriate for the community. The municipality
would then tax the portion of each commercial property's assessed value below this
threshold at a lower rate.
Small businesses In lower-valued commercial properties - such as small retail strip
stores _ would benefit from this provisIon, Municipalities would have the flexibility to set
these rates to meet their local priorities and revenue needs.
Extending protection for low-lncome senior and disabled homeowners
The Fair Municipal Fmance Act requires municipalities to provide a program of tax relief
on the municipal portion of property tax paid by low-income property owners who are
seniors or have disabilities. The FaIr Municipal Finance Act (no. 2) would extend that
protection to cover the education portion of property,t!1Xes. School boards will
reimburse municipalities for the education portion of the deferral and will In tum be
reimbursed by the province_
Low-income seniors and persons with disabilities would be protected from tax changes
resulting from reassessment.
Vacant commercial and Industrial lands and units
The Fair Municipal Finance Act eliminated the Business Occupancy Tax (BOT), and
allows municipalities to recover this revenue from property classes that previously paid'
BOT or from any other class that Is not currently overtaxed, according to tax faimess
ratios to be set by provincial regulation.
Vacant business land and units would be taxed at lower rates: vacant commercial
property at 70 per cent of the commercial rate and vacant industrial property at 65 per
cent of the industrial rate. .

Owners of vacant lands and buildings who did not have to pay BOT would retain a
similar tax preference,
Charitable and similar organizations
The Fair Municipal Finance Act eliminated the Business Occupancy Tax, and allows
municipalities to recover this revenue from property classes that previously paid BOT or
from any other class that is not currently overtaxed, according to tax fairness ratios to
be set by provincial regulation.
Municipalities would be able to provide rebates to charitable and similar organizations
occupying business property. Rebates can be up to 40 per cent of total tax. This allows
municipalities to recognize that these organizations paid tax at the lower residential rate
and did not pay BOT.
Eligible groups would apply to municipalities annually for this rebate and conflnn their
eligibility, which will be defined by the Minister of Finance.
School boards will reimburse municipalities for the education portion of the rebate and
will In tum be reimbursed by the province.
This provision would recognize the benefits these groups provide the community.
Live theatres
Metro Toronto's commercIal live theatre industry is the third largest in the worid and
attracts 90 per cent of Ontario's live theatre audience_ However, Metro's largest
commercial theatres pay higher property taxes than both their international competitors
In New York and London and their publicly-owned local competitors.
To heip these theatres compete on an intematlonal scale, the govemment intends to
introduce legislation to exempt Metro's large commercial live theatres from education
property tax. In addition, the Fair Municipal Finance Act no. 2 would enable the Minister
of Finance to create a subclass for these theatres, to ensure their municipal taxes are
at a competitive level.
Similar publicly-owned live theatres would make payments-In-lieu of taxes to the
municipaflty at the same rate as their prlvately-ownedcounterparts, when they are
occupied by for-profrt productions.
Smaller live theatres throughout Ontario, which act as a training ground for the industry,
would be exempted from property taxes. This would apply to theatres with fewer than
1,000 seats.
2
This measure would provide consistent tax treatment'for intemational bridges tunnels
and enhance intemational competitiveness.

This measure would support Toronto's competitiveness as an international theatre
destination and recognize the vital contribution of small theatres to the Industry. It also
levels the playing field between private and public commercial enterprises.
Rights-of-way
Railway, utility and hydro rights-of-way are now taxed at different levels throughout the
province. This approach created a patchwork of tax rates and an uncertain tax base.
Under the Fair MunIcipal Finance Act (no. 2) , the province would set municipal tax
levels per acre for nine geographic regions of the province and index them to average
tax rate changes. The new regional rates would be phased in between 1999 and 2006.
Regional rates would mean fair, consistent treatment of rights-ai-way property, prevent
unpredictable and escalating tax increases, and help stabilize the revenue base for
municipalities.
International bridges
The Fair Municipal Finance Act (no. 2) proposes to replace the existing system of
assessing and taxing international bridges and tunnels with a fair and consistent
system:
~ Bridge structures would not be taxed, but would be subject to a payment prescribed
by the Minister 01 Municipal Affairs and Housing.
~ Land and buildings would pay munlolpal property tax but not education tax.
~ For privately-owned bridges, taxes paid to a municipality on the Canadian side
cannot be lower than school and municipal taxes paId to the municipality on the
American side, If Canadian taxes are lower, the bridge authority must pay an
adjustment to the Canadian municipality,
Farmland pending development
Currently, farmland that has been purchased by a developer is assessed as fannland
until farming stops. Some farmland undergoing development attracts very little property
tax relative to its value, particular1y in the urban fringe.
The new Bill proposes a staged approach to taxation for farmland pending
development. Details of the stages will be established in regulation.
This measure would fairly balance the needs of farmers, municipalities and developers.

Gross Receipts Tax
Currently, Gross Receipts Tax (GRT) Is levied at a rate of five per cent on revenues of
telephone and telegraph companies. In lieu of property taxes on poles and wires. Bell
Canada pays more than 95 per cent of the total GRT. The rest Is paid by small phone
companies. GRT Is currently distributed among lower-tier municipalities based on
phone rentals. In turn. more than half of the GRT goes to school boards.
Under the new Bill, the GRT would be moved from lower-tier municipalities to the
province as part of the Who Does What realignment of programs and services between
the Province and municipalities, as reoommended by the Who Does What panel, The
GRT share now going to school boards would continue to be applied to sohool funding.
The rate of tax will be set in regulation by the Minister of Finanoe.
This proposed measure makes It easier and less costly for the industry to oomply with
tax law.
Payments-ln-Iieu
The province currently makes payments to municipalities in lieu of property tax on
provinoial properties.
The Fair Municipal Finance Act (no, 2) proposes to enable the province to make
payrnents-in-lieu on properties it leases from exempt organizations such as
municipalities or the federal government.
The Bill also proposes to give the Minister of Finance regulatory power to:
.. determine the "heads and beds" rate for hospitals. colleges, universities and
correctional facilities
.. ensure that these public institutions can continue to pay the "heads and beds" rate if
. ,
they close, in order to protect them from large tax 'increases until the property is sold
or reused.
.. govern sharing of payments-in-lieu among municipalities and school boards, subject
to a Mure deoision.
These measures are designed to ensure that the province continues to pay its fair
share of property taxes and that local services get adequate property tax support.
Statutory exemption for off-reserve native lands
The Fair Municipal Finance Act (no. 2) brings Ontario into line with all other provinces in
Canada, by cioslng a tax loophole that exempted natlve-owned off-reserve lands from
property taxes.

The Fair Municipal Finance Act (no. 2) creates tax equity between native-owned
properties and other properties, including businesses; Many native-owned businesses
had already been paying property tax in the fORn of voluntary payments-in-lieu to
municipalities,
Other components of the Fair Municipal Finance Act, (no. 2)
Other components of the proposed legislation include:
Statutory exemptions: Changes proposed to statutory exemptions would close tax
loopholes and help stabilize the revenue base, while continuing to protect properties
that are now exempt.
Farmlands and managed forests: Would be separated into two property classes, This
would simplify recovery of taxes on lands that have ceased to qualify for the low tax rate
as managed forests.
Phase-in provisions: The Fair Municipal Finance Act allows municipalities to phase in
municipal tax changes resulting from reassessment over a period of up to eight years.
The new legislation would extend that provision to Include the education portion of
property tax as well.
Annexation: the new Bill would prevent municipalities that annex unincorporated
territories from shifting property taxes onto property classes that already pay unfairly
high taxes.

Re: Provincial Government - Telephone Gross Receipts Tax _
Use of Municipal Riqht-of-wavs
At a meeting held on June 23, 1.997 the Council of the Corporation
of the Town of Whitby passed the following resolution opposing the
Ontario Government's proposal to tak~ away the right of local
municipalities to tax telephone comPanies for their use of
municipal right-of-ways: .
WHEREAS, as part of the downloading on municipalities the
Province of Ontario is grabbing the five per cent telephone
gross receipts tax paid to the Town of Whitby by the
telephone companies for the use of municipal right-of-ways;
AND WHEREAS, the taking away of the gross receipts tax not
only means a loss of $1 million to Town of Whitby taxpayers
and a total loss of $7 million across the Region of Durham,
inclUding the school boards, but also negates the potential
of substantial future income from the emerging fibre optics
industry;
AND WHEREAS, the future demand for space on municipal right-
Of-ways could amount to hundreds of millions in future
revenues to Ontario municipalities;
AND WHEREAS, the Province of Ontario will be grabbing these
revenues to reduce its costs instead of being used to offset
property taxes since it is the municipal right-of-ways that
are being used;
-,
- 2 -
AND WHEREAS, Federal legislation gives the telephone
companies the right to use municipal property and for this
right municipalities have always received these funds in
place of property taxes;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Province of ontario not
take away the telephone gross receipts tax now collected by
Ontario municipalities, or if it does, then the Province of
ontario allow municipalities to be compensated for the right
to use their right-of-ways;
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that if the Province of ontario
does not compensate municipalities, the Federal Government be
requested to amend its legislation to require the
telecommunications companies to pay municipalities directly
for the use of right-of-ways;
AND FURTHER, that a copy of this motion be circulated to the
Premier of Ontario, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and
Housing, M.P. J. Longfield, M.P.P.'s J. O'Toole and J.
Flaherty, the Region of Durham and area municipalities for
their consideration.
Whitby Town Council has very serious concerns regarding the
Province of ontario's further erosion of the mu icipal tax base.

CLAUSE EMBODIED IN REPORT No.6 OF THE
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE WHICH WAS
REFERRED BACK TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
COMMITTEE FOR DEPUTATIONS BY CITY COUNCIL AT ITS
REGULAR MEETING ON JUNE 22 AND 23,1997.

Greater Toronto Services Board Financing
of Social Assistance and Social Housing Costs
The Committee recommends:
I. That City Council endorse financing income redistribution programs, such as social assistance and
social housing, through the Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB).
2. That the report (June 6, 1997) from the Commissioner of Urban Development Services be
forwarded to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing and to the Minister's special advisor
on the Greater Toronto Area Services Board.
The Committee submits the report (June 6,1997) from the 'Commissioner of Urban Development Services:
Subject:GTSB Financing of Social Assistance and Social Housing Costs
Origin: City Council. May 12, 1997 (p:1997\ug\uds\ed971195.p!n) - pv
Recommendations:
, ~
,
1. That City Council eodorse financing income redistribution programs. such as social assistance and social
housing, through the Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB).
2. That this repon be forwarded to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing and to the Minister's
special advisor on the Greater Toronto Area Services Board.
Background:
At its meeting on May 12. 1997, City Council'adopted my prelimirnuy repon, dated May 5. 1997. on the
Provincial May 1. 1997 downloading proposaL Recommendation 2 in the May 5, 1997 repon directs City staff
to e.xplore the option of pooling social assistance costs across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and to examine
the fiscal impact of such a model.
Council directed me to repon on regional pooling of soci81 assistance expenditure. which is. cwrently. the largest
municipal income redistribution program in Ontario. However. as part of the proposed re-alignment of Provincial
and municipal responsibilities. social housing. another large income redistribution program. is also to be
downloaded onto municipalities. Therefore. 1 have modeled the impact of financing both social assistaitce and
social housing at the GT A level.
Equity:
There are lUll broad approaches to fairness in determining how to pay for public services: Ability to pay and
benefits received. Income redistribution programs. by definition. cannot be operated on a benefits received basis.
.
I
2
1997 City of Toronto Economic Development Committee Report No.6. Clause 5
.
.
I
because the reCipIents of social assistance cannot pay for the social assistance benefits that they receive.
Therefore. the "benefits received" or "user-pay" principle. which could be used to argue that local services should
be funded locally. does not apply to income redistribution programs. the vet)' intent of which is to redistribute
income.
I
Since the benefits received principle does not apply to income redistribution programs. we are left with the ability
to pay approach. Does a household in Metro have greater ability to pay than a household with the same income
anywhere else in the GTA. or for that matter anywhere else in the province? Clearly. the answer is: No. There
is I!Q equity rationale why a household in Metro or Durham should pay more for social assistance or social housing
than a household with the same income in York or Halton.
I
I
Similarly, there is no equity rational why a business in downtown Toronto should pay more for social assistance
or social housing than a similar business in Mississauga or, for that matter, in Windsor or Kingston. Society. at
the provincial level, has determined that evet)'one should have a minimum level of income and housing, but
clearly nobody suggests that the costs for these services should be levied exclusively from the communities in
which the recipients happen to live.
I
I
Most municipalities in Ontario, as well as the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO). have passed
resolutions asking the Province to take over 100 percent of social assistance costs. recognizing that these costs
should be shared province-wide. However, if this is not possible, clearly the second-best solution is pooling across
the widest possible area - at least, across the regional labour market/commuter shed.
I
I
Financing through the Greater Toronto Services Board:
On December 17. 1996, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, acknowledging the interdependence of
the communities in the GT A. announced his intention to create the GTSB, whose mandate is region-wide service
and policy co-ordination. It is proposed that the responsibilities of the GTSB include the financing of the
municipal share of income redistribution programs. This measure would help "knit municipalities in the regions
to the Toronto core in much the same way that the 1953 gove_ce arrangements did with downtown Toronto
and the Metro suburbs," as David Crombie recommended and the Govemment of Ontario agreed.
I
I
Like education. municipal income redistribution programs are Provincially-mandated and are available to all
citizens of Ontario. Take the case ofa family living in one of the new auto-oriented suburbs surrounding Toronto.
where both wage earners lose their jobs, and they cannot meet their mortgage payments. This family may end up
on social assistance and may have to look for an inexpensive place to live that is well served by transit because
they can no longer afford a car. It would not be surprising if they ended up in one of the older rent-controlled
apartments in Toronto or in a social housing unit, of which Toronto also has a disproponionate share.
I
I
Another cost that has beeu proposed for GTSB finance is GO Transit service. Clearly in the case of transit
services a better argument can be made to finance these based on use of services. For example. the residents of
York region do not use GO Transit to nearly the same extent as the residents of those communities along the
Lakeshore GO Train line. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to ask residents of southern Peel or Halton to pay more
for GO senic:e than, say, the residents of Markham. Even if a resident of OaI..-ville never rides the GO Train. that
resident benefits from the GO Train, because the availability of an attractive alternative to the QEW reduces
congestion OIl the QEW. Also the availability of convenient GO Train service increases the value of property that
is well sen'iced by GO Transit. Social assistance and social housing do not have the same impact on the well-
being of neighbouring residents as access to superior transit services. The residents of neighbowhoods adjacent
to the Jane and Finch housing development in North York do not benefit more from that project than the residents
of the neigbbourhoods north of Steeles Ave.

1997 City of Toronto Economic Development Committee Report No.6, Clause 5
1, 1997 downloads from each regional municipality in the GT A. and have used these in the attached analysis. In
some cases these vary from our initial estimates.
Two models of allocating GT A social assistance and social housing costs are presented:
Model A allocates these costs to each regional municipality based on its share of 1992 market value without
distinguishing among classes of property (eg. houses, aparnnents, commercial and indusnial). 1bat is, if the total
market value of property in a municipality is 20 percent of the GT A total, then that municipality is allocated 20
percent of GT A social assistance and social housing costs.
Model B weights the market value of each class of property by its 1992 GT A-wide average effective tax rate. For
example, houses are currently taxed. on average. at 60% of the average effective tax rate for all classes, and are
therefore weighted at 60% in Model B.
Table 2 and table 3 show the details of the calculations for Model A and Model B. which are sununarized in Table
I. 1992 market values were used throughout the analysis, because these are the most recent data that are available.
Of course, market value of any vintage is only one possible basis for pooling region-wide costs. Other measures
of ability-to-pay, such as median household income by municipality. may be more appropriate for allocating the
residential share of the cost of regional income redistribution programs. Another example is provided by British
Columbia's residential property tax for education. In this case each municipality is required to connibute to a
province-wide pool, based on a formula comprising one half market value and one half the number of households
in the municipality.
Conclusion:
GTSB financing of social assistance and social housing costs, based on 1992 market values, reduces the adverse
impact of the downloads announced May I on Metro Toronto and Durham, and equitably shifts part of the burden
of these costs onto Peel, Halton and York Region. GTSB finant:\ng of social assistance and social housing costs
will also help to ensure that Toronto remains. as the Minister for Municipal AffiIirs and Housing stated. "A strong
centre to an area that is Ontario' s economic engine."

Dear Municipal Clerk:
On behalf of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), I am
writing to ask you to encourage your municipality and local businesses to take advantage of
an opportunity to help young people find employment this summer.
You may have heard about the new Rural Job Strategy announced by the Minister of Finance,
Ernie Eves, in the Ontario Budget. As part of this initiative, $3 million will be used this
summer to create up to 3,000 jobs for rural youth.
Earlier in April, I announced a Summer Jobs Program, allowing 1,500 rural students to gain
valuable work experience in the fields and fanns of Ontario. I am pleased that the additional
funding announced by Mr. Eves will allow this program to be extended to all rural businesses,
including agri-businesses, food manufacturing busm-esses, businesses that are not related to
agriculture, municipalities and non-profit and community organizations.
Under the program, employers can create as many new positions as they wish and can hire
youth for up to 16 weeks, any time between April 15 and September 30, 1997. Any student
hired between these dates is eligible under this broadened mandate. Eligible employers will
receive a $2lhour rebate on the salary paid to young employees, to a maximum of35 hours
per week. They can employ anyone outside their immediate family. The program is open to
all youth between the ages of 15 and 24, or between 15 and 29 for dis8.bled youth.
Applications are available throughout the province at OMAFRA field offices. Information
can also be obtained by visiting the ministry's web site at http://www.gov.on.calomafra. or
through the Farm Assistance Programs Branch of OMAFRA at 1 Stone Road West, 2NW,
Guelph Ontario, NlG 4Y2, or by calling (51.9) 826-3711,1-888-466-2372, ext. 6-3711 or

You will find attached an information sheet for your use, that can also be passed on to local
businesses. Please consider taking advantage of this excellent opportunity to provide one or
several students with much needed jobs and experience close to home. I believe this is a
worthwhile investment in the future of our youth, and it will have immediate benefits for your
municipality and rura1 businesses. '
Please accept my best wishes and kindest personal regards.
Sincerely,
oble A. Villeneuve

HIRE A STUDENT!
Are You an Eligible Employer?
The Ontario Government is investing in job creation in a big way this summer. In April,
the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Noble Villeneuve, announced a
Summer Jobs Program, an investment that will allow 1,500 rural students to gain
valuable work experience in the fields and farms of Ontario.
In May, when Finance Minister Eves presented his budget, he outlined a second
initiative, the Rural Job Strategy, which doubles the investment in job creation for the
summer - bringing the total number of employment opportunities to 3,000 and the total
funding available to a maximum $3 million.
Under this program, employers can create as m&!'W new positions as they wish, and
may hire youth for up to 16 weeks, any time betwMn April 15 and September 30, '
1997.
To be eligible for the program, the youth must be between the ages of 15 and 24 on
his/her first day of work for the work term, or between the ages of 15 and 29 if
disabled. He or she must be a resident of Ontario and eligible to work in Canada but
can not be an immediate family member nor have worked for this employer more than
15 hours in the month prior to participating in the service; and must be planning to
return to school.
Eligible employers will receive a $21hour rebate on the salary paid to young
employees, to a maximum of 35 hours per week. All rural businesses, including non-
agricultural related businesses, food processing businesses, non-profit and community
organizations, as well as farm businesses; can apply to the program. That means that
the Govemment of Ontario is prepared to invest about $1,120 each on 3,000 students
in rural Ontario.
Applications will be processed on a first come first. served basis.

May 13,1997
Council of the Municipality ofClarington
40 Temperance Street
Bowmanville, Ontario
Ll C 3A6
Attention: Hon. Mary Novak
We, the neighbours of #87 Cedar Crest Beach Road (Municipal vacant lake access property )
would like to bring to your attention a problem arising from this property.
On March 14, 1997 we were subjected to a windstorm. The water & spray rapidly created a
pond of water on the township property. As a result, our property located at #91 Cedar Crest
Beach Road was being flooded. Although we did everything within our power to stop the water,
through the renting of a pump, and trying to block the flow of the water with soil and rocks (etc.)
it was a losing battle. Through numerous calls to the Pubic Works department and the Fire
Department, finally, five hours later we were able to obtain a commercial pump from Public
Works. This was delivered to us by Mr. Howard Anyan, Lead Hand, Facilities Division. Both
pumps were serviced by Mr. Ken Sparkes of#91 Cedar<J\est Beach Rd. until 10:30 p.m. and
still the water was not emptied, as at this time, it had frozen. We were informed that the matter
would be examined and action would be taken to correct the problem after the spring thaw.
On Saturday, May 3,1997, we were again subjected to a worse ordeal. Our neighbour, Mr.
Murray DeHaas, located at #83 Cedar Crest Beach Road ( also adjacent to the township lot)
was also in jeopardy of having his property flooded. We called the Fire Department (not th~ir
responsibility, but our thanks to them for contacting the proper services). Meanwhile, we rented a
pump and fought desperately to stop the flow of water flooding our properties. At this point the
street was in peril of being flooded as well. We were able to borrow another pump from one of
our neighbours, and enlist their help in lining up people to come and deal with the problem. This
involved building a berm on either side of the vacant lot and then creating a trench behind the
breakwall, allowing the water to flow back into the lake. Another pump was eventually dropped
offby Mr. Ron Baker, Traffic Co-ordinator, which operated for about an hour and then stopped.
Throughout, any pumps that were running were bemg services by Mr. Sparkes and Mr. DeHaas.
The residents of our street have gone to great lengths to protect their property from the lake. Our
property, as well as that of Mr. Dehass, is well protected from shoreline erosion and overspill
from the lake.

However, the township lot, while having shoreline protection, is not sufficiently protected from
overspilL Due to the concave nature ofthe township lot, water does not run off, but pools and
floods. This, along with this year's high water level presents an urgency to ensure a pro active
solution. We cannot go through another agonizing day of unforeseen damage to our homes and
grounds.
The storm in March put us out of pocket a day of pay, as well as the rental ofthe pump. The
storm on May 3rd, not only cost us the rental of the pump but the services of an excavating
company, not to mention our time. It should not be our responsibility to maintain and protect the
township lot in order to save our homes. Therefore we are submitting the attached invoices for
reimbursement. Had we not taken these measures, there would have been far greater damage to
our homes on either side of the township lot as well as the street. At this time, we have been
unable to access the extent of the damage (i.e. insulation, foundation, etc. ) as there is still water
underneath the house.
We would appreciate if you would address this matter as soon as possible due to the time of year
and the threat of yet higher water levels. We have done everything we can do in the interim to
protect this area.
Thank you for your time and your consideration.
Yours truly,
~J,-0~/0'

Dear Mayor Hamre
The Newcastle Lions Club is looking for the Town's sanction for a "W ALK-A-DOG-A-THON"
All the proceeds from the WALK will be donated to CANINE VISION CANADA. The WALK
is 10 Ian through Newcastle on October 4, 1997 our starting time will be 9:00 a.m., at the
Community Hall. A copy of the insurance coverage will follow from the Lions Foundation of
Canada.
The Lions Foundation of Canada conducts a National WALK annnally. The money raised
contributes to the graduation of approximately 35 dog guide teams each year. Your cooperation and
assistance in this worthy cause by sanctioning this year's WALK would be greatly appreciated.
Newcastle Lions Club raised $7,600.00 in 1995, and $10,000.00 in 1996, Our club's goal is
$12,000.00.
The long range plan for the School is to graduate approx4nately 75 teams per year to meet the
growing demand of providing eyes for the visnally impaixl:d. The sponsorship of each dog guide
team, totally free to the recipient, is over $6,000.00.
The Newcastle Lions Club would like to be part of the team with the residents of Clarington. We
would appreciate your approval of our route map enclosed. We estimate that it will take
approximately two hours to complete.
We encourage all interested residents to participate in our WALK and would appreciate your
support on this day. Come out and WALK YOUR BEST FRIEND FOR SOMEONE THAT
NEEDS ONE. If you would like any further information please contact me.

DANGEROUS SPEEDING CONDmONS
ROBERT ADAMS DRIVE_ COURTICE
It is requested that immediate and concrete action be taken to curtail the excessive
speeding that is occurring on the northern section of Robert Adams Drive in Courtice. This
situation is dangerous to children, causes excessive noise and is generally disturbing.
Drivers proceeding south treat the street as a raplp way to the undeveloped section.
Drivers proceeding north attain a high speed in the undeveloped section and carry this speed
through to the developed area.
The concerned residents in the area suggest that a study be implemented as soon as
possible to determine a solution to this dangerous and disturbing problem.

Attention:

RE: Disabled Parking Standards
I have become increasingly aware of the inconsistency of
disabled parking spaces on both private and public lands.
As a' user'/of these spaces, I have observed a wide
inconsistency in their width, signing and pavement
markings. In addi tion, over the past winter I have
noticed poor maintenance practices with snow removal
making ~timpossible to occupy disabled parking spaces at
a number of locations throughout Durham Region.
This is a request that you direct your staff to
investigate the condi tions of disabled parking stalls.
within your jurisdiction on.' both private and public
lands. It is my opinion that this matter is the
municipali ty r s, responsibili ty under the Ontario Human
Rights Code.
I have information on numerous existing sites where the
standards' are not adhered to. It causes me undue
'distress and'at times presents safety concerns.
Please attend t,o this matter with urgency as it has
persisteC{{qr. s"oIlle time now.

Yours truly,

MEMORANDUM
TRAFFIC ADVISORY MEETING
Minutes, Wednesday, April 23, 1997 10:00 a.m.
Attendees:
A. Almuina, City of Oshawa
R. Baker, Municipality of Cia ring ton
M. Bellamy, City of Os haw a
G. Borchuk, Region of Durham
S. Brake. Town of Pickering
G. Chartier, Regional Planning
M. Gough, Region of Durham

1. Turner, Region of Durham
Absent:
R. Bates, Durham Region Traffic Management Unit
B. Henshall, Town ofScugog
B. Kester, Township ofUxbridge
M. Pelzowski, Town of Ajax
1. Approval of Previous Minutes
The Region did not undertake a speed radl\f enforcement test site in the Town of Ajax
after discussing the matter with Durham I\egion Traffic Management Unit.
2. Accident Records
The Region sent a proposal in November 1996 to the area municipalities to provide
collision recording services with all costs prorated. A number of municipalities have
expressed an interest. DOS and Windows base I.T.S. systems still experiencing
problems with the Area Master File. The Region is working with the Planning
Department in a process to bring the new Ontario base map into LT.S. There is no
more support for LT.S. and municipalities:must pay IBHor any further training or
enhancements. It was suggested that a subcOlnmittee,be formed to look into different
methods of accident recording. Contact M. 'Lenten if interested.
3. Red Light Cameras
The Region looked at Red Light Caineras at the Ontario Traffic Conference. There are
disadvantages to the camera - not mobile, very expensive, not easily hooked up, loops
would have to be cut and a municipal staff member would have to appear in court. The
supplier offers a service for collecting fees. The current Provincial government is not
in favour of this type of enforcement unless the driver of the vehicle in violation can be
identified. Originally, three or four municipalities, including Metropolitan Toronto,
were interested in the red light camera, but Metro has since backed off.

4, PXO Button Conversion
MUTCD has published a new standard for pedestrian crossovers. They have developed
a new sign along with a new button. The approximate cost per site is $200 (sign-$19
and button-$60). The Region is looking at current PXO sites on Regional roads for
possible conversion to IPS. (.'orrespomlence will be fimvartled to municipalities.
5&6. Speed Zone Study and School Zone
Two years ago the Region received requests for 40 km/h zones in school areas. A
subsequent survey showed artificial speed limits are not effective. To date, three (3)
time of day speed zones are in place in Courtice, Brock and Pickering. Gauging the
effectiveness is still premature but staffhas met with Durham Regional Police regarding
enforcement. D.R.P have suggested that they meet regularly with Region staff to
discuss speeding. fatalities and high coUisio.oJogti.o.DS_.D.R.1>__wants to do more
enforcement through the Traffic Management Unit with the Region acting as the front
end. Durham Regional Police would like a committee set up to include area
'municipalities, but there was concern that such a committee would replace T.A.C.
When Whitby receives a speeding complaint they contact Inspector Reid from 18
Division, with whom they have a good working relationship. With recent cuts tQ the
police budget, D.R.P. are now looking for input for trouble locations and have
requested that we substantiate requests with pi'evious speed studies. All speed
enforcement requests are to go through Inspector Jim Adams. City of Oshawa requests
radar enforcement regularly but never receive any feedback as to the outcome. The
Town of Clarington cited they have the same response. Durham Regional Police are
attending Works Committee on April 29th and M. Lenten will comment on outcome
of the meeting. ffiI is presently doing II study for the Federal government on speed
zoning practices and the report will beieady this summer from Transport Canada.
Oshawa is researching revenue generators and using speeding tickets as an example.
Oshawa had the lowest speeding violations with Ajax!Pickering receiving the highest.
7. Disabled Parking
Regional Planning had received an enquiry from Mr. Coady about whether on-site
parking can be enforced to have disabled parking. Toronto has a bylaw regarding
signing, size of the stall, numberof.requiredstalls,set.finesand location'ofhandicap
parking stalls. The purpose of the byla:w was to set up a uniform regulation for
disabled parking. The question was raised as to whether Durham should pursue this
matter. Whitby though it was a good idea as Mr. Coady had been in touch with them
as well. Mr. Coady's problem is not only with the size of stalls but what happens when
a parking lot is already in existence. According to Regional Planning, part of the
disabled bylaw is dealt through site plan applications and there is a maximum fine for
not having the appropriate numbertlf parking stalls. Under the Municipal Act, Oshawa
has enforced private property to provide disableifparking. "They have a staff member
dedicated to disabled parking who checks sites once a year"It' is an extensive process
with the inventory done in the winter by conStruction inspectors. Letters are sent to
property owners who have not provided disabled. parking and they have never had to
tine an owner. O.,hmlltl will prol.;tle a copy of tlie pamphlet ami bylaw. Regional
Planning will coortlinate a cllmmittee to look into uniformity of municipalities for
tlisabled parking. A CllPy of the minutes Ivill be fonvartletl to Mr. Coady.

SCHEDULE A
TECHNICAL GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS
FOR THE DESIGN OF PARKING SPACES
TO SERVE DISABLED PARKERS
Phy3ical Characteristics:
A DESIGNATED PARKING SPACE reserved for the sole use of a VEHICLE operated by
or carrying a physically disabled person must be:
i) hard surfaced and be painted a bright blue, with the universal symbol of access
overlaid in white or yellow paint. All designated spaces are to be painted In this
manner by 1995 05 01;
ii) level (avoid slopes);
iii) a minimum width of 4.1 metres (13.5 feet). This space is required for the safe
deployment of lifts and ramps of a VEHICLE which has been modified for
disabled persons.
The DESIGNATED PARKING SPACE(S) could be located at the "open end" of a
row of spaces in order to provide the necesS.ary clearance. In this case, a parking
space of normal width may be sufficient, particularly if the adjacent space is
protected from infringement.
Iv) a minimum length of 5.4 metres (18 feet);
v) a minimum vertical clearance of 2.75 metres (9 feet);
vi) located so sidewalks, paths, etc., will be accessible to physically disabled persons
whether via ramps, aisles, depressed curbs, or other appropriate means without
requiring a person to pass behind parked cars or cross a traffic lane;
vii) located with sufficient clearance around the VEHICLE, in terms of other
vehicles, or obstacles such as light .standards, waste receptacles, etc. to permit
free access by a wheelchair;
viii) identified by the OFFICIAL SIGN required by the HIGHWAY TRAFFIC ACT
regulations. This sign shall be mounted with the base of the sign no less than 1.7
metres (5'-7") and no more than 2.0 metres (6'-7") above grade.

Dear Sir/Madam:
RE: REPRESENTATION ON MUNICIPALLY FUNDED BOARDS AND CoMMISSIONS
Chatham City Council at its' Regular Meeting held on May 12, 1997.
considered a Report dealing with the Chatham/Kent Community Care Access
Centre. The new Centre as well as other similarly constituted Boards is to be
funded as of January 1, 1998 by municipalities with 50% of the costs being the
responsibility of municipalities. The Budget (0( the local Centre is in excess of
$11,000,000.00.
It is important to note that no representation from Council is on the
Board. and in fact, The Ministry of Health requirements specifically excludes
elected local govemment representatives from being elected or appointed to
the Board of an Access Centre. In light of the concems expressed by Council
with the lack of municipal representation on such a Board. the attached
Resolution was passed for your review, endorsement and support.
For your information, I have enclosed a copy of the Administrative
Report together with an extract from the May 12th Meeting.

Dear Sir/Madam:
RE: FEMALE TOPLESSNESS
Chatham City Council, at its' Meeting of June 9, 1997, expressed
concern over the recent Ontario Court of Appeal decision which held that there
is nothing inherently indecent under the Federal Criminal Code in a woman
publicly baring her breasts. While the Court decision indicates that such
freedom does not exceed the community standards of tolerance, a
presentation to Council of a Petition of over 2,669 signatures before a standing-
room-only crowd states very loudly that such action does, in fact, breach our
community standards.
As a result of these concerns, the attached Resolution was passed to
reflect our community's displeasure and opposition to the decision, and to
Petition the Government of Canada to take the appropriate action to clearly
establish and define conduct which is acceptable to society and in keeping
with community standards.
We request your endorsement and support of this Resolution which
relates to an issuing affecting communities throughout Ontario and the rest of
Canada.
If you should require any further information on this matter, please do
not hesitate to contact me.
Yours very truly,
->C"~ ~

RESOLUTION NUMBER 97-05
OF THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF CHATHAM
WHEREAS a recent Ontario Court of Appeal decision has held
that female toplessness in public is not indecent under the Federal Criminal
Code;
AND WHEREAS the Court decision indicates that such action
does not exceed community standards of tolerance;
AND WHEREAS local community standards can best be
assessed from within those communities and not from afar;
AND WHEREAS in municipalities such as Chatham, female
toplessness in public does, in fact, breach our community standards;
1. That The Minister of Justice be informed of our community's displeasure
and opposition to the decision and its' result.
2. That the Government of Canada be petitioned to take the appropriate
action to amend the Criminal Code to clearly establish and define
conduct which is criminal and clarify acceptable community standards
within our society so as to prohibit or limit female toplessness in public
places.

Dear Jeremy:
Re: Instructional Squash Proarams/Newcastle Fitness Centre
Thank you for your correspondence dated January 1, 1991. I
appreciate your concerns regarding the potential for
instructional squash programs in the Town of Newcastle.
I discussed your concerns with Jennifer Cooke, Superintendent of
Program/Community Relations, in the Community Services
Department. The Community Services Department has included
instructional squash programs in their budget proposal for 1991.
Before this proposal can be implemented the budget must be
ratified by Council. I can assure yd~ that instructional squash
programs are planned and scheduled for the Newcastle Fitness
Centre and that you will be informed when the proposals and
budget have been finalized. The programs will be advertised to
the general public as will the part-time positions that will be
hired to lead them.
I appreciate your concerns and your interest in the opportunities
provided by the Community Services Department and the Town of
Newcastle. I encourage you to stay iQ.,contact with Jennifer
Cooke and Scott Rose, Program Manager,' so that you can be updated
with respect to the status of the squash programs.
Thank you for your interest and participation in the programs
operated by the Town of Newcastle.

An Open Letter to Mr. S. Rose : re: Squash Program.
For the past four years I have been a resident of the T.of N.
and during this time I have seen no development of Squash at the
Fitness Centre. I have given explicit advice in writing and
verbally, to community services employees. I have been playing
squash competitively and recreationally for over twenty years.
I have completed coaching programs in the U.K. and in Canada. I
have coached squash in all my previous teaching positions.I do
know what I am talking about !! A ray of hope for the future is
the nascent BHS squash program. .
I would like to see a full squash program offered, akin to
your other excellent courses. The Fitness Centre is a member of
Squash Ontario and they can tell you how to do it. Given that
it costs $500(?) or so to be members of SQ why doh't you get
something for OUR money? When 1 player recently contacted them
they did not even know which region we were in. You must ensure
that players have access to their expertise.
I suggest: a) decide what level of program; b) costs involved
(N.B. the House League I run is bringing you in a lot of increased
revenue at no cost whatever to you, since I do it) ; c) ask. SO
for a list of available coaches in this area; d)post a sign-up
sheet with full details.
A program was promised for January (see letter Aug. 7th).Mayor
Hubbard has stated on many occasions her commitment to providing
appropriate new programs. It is only fitting, then, that at this
stage I forward all my previous proposals to her so that she is
aware of what is being initiated in her name. (or being refused).
Also, consider your responsibilty with regard to accidents. It
is Quite clear that by providing courts.)ou are to a certain
extent encouraging play. However, becaus~ you provide no coaching,
you are not making players aware of the rules of squash and correct
technique, which together with proper equipment ensure safe and
enjoyable play.
Please discuss these matters with your staff who have all my
previous letters/submissions. In addition, I suggest again that
you replace the noticeboard which is too'smalJ.Also, the footwear
sign only appears on one door- please get another one. To keep
the courts safer you could have the cashier verify that players
have correct footwear when they arrive at,the front desk.
Please make something happen this year in Squash !!!!

I Dear
I Please read the enclosed communications by
me to the community services department. Obviously we are at
I some kind of impasse. I do not want to have a job or replace
any service the Town can provide. I am promoting Squash in
accordance with the goals of the national body - CSRA.
I would like to be involved in coaching, but I am not
I promoting the game for personal pecuniary interests, which
was suggested by one of your staff. I find your staff very
difficult to deal with, and have heard other citizens make the
I same complaint. None of my letters has been answered in written
form, apart from th~ confirmation of the BHS program. Are you
aware of how this department works?
I It is a great pity that I have to take.this
matter up with you like this. If there is no one on staff who
is able to co-ordinate squash, then send your nominee to Ajax,
Pickering, or Cobourg to see how they organise community squash.
I Squash is a game for all. Ajax has produced
more champions of every group than any other private or public
facility in Ontario. Squash can give the Town's young people
I a lifelong sport. It encourages sportsmansrip and self-control.
I want to live in Bowmanvi11e and be assuF.ed that recreational
opportunities exist for every need. If you' want to attract
I exi 1 ed Torontoni ans, I am sure that they wou1 d appreci ate full
squash opportunities.
Thank you for taking an interest in this matter.

Members of the club pay $3.2feach when playing other club members.
Courts are available 7 days a week. Each player arranges own matches.
This is a list of players seeded in order of ability. You may
challenge any player on the ladder. If you win you go to their
position and everyone moves on~ step down. If you lose you remain
where you are. Only Mr. Forward operates the ladder moves.
The top players in their age groups will represent the school.
Eye-protectors and clean, non-marking court shoes are mandatory.
You must provide your own racquets and ball.
Every new player must receive 2 instruction/rules clinics before
being allowed to play in the club. "':..- .ii
These will provide proof o~ membership and are not transferable.
Players are eligible for~Squash Ontario Tournaments.
Players will work on the Squash Canada Skills Award Program to
ensure that their level of play improves.
Due to the nature of this program and the number of players I cannot
supervise play. Therefore, all players are reminded to act and behave responsibly
with due consideration to other users and.the staff of the Fitness Centre. Players
who abuse the privileges offered here will have their membership revoked.
This is a real recreational and fitness opportunity for all young people.
BHS is very grateful for the support of Ms. C. Gonder(Director of Fitness Centre) in
making this program available. If you wish to contact me I am available at school at
623-4416.

Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended to Council the following:
1. THAT Addendum Report PD-82-97 be received;
'.
2. THAT Report PD-82-97 be lifted from the table;
3. THAT the recommendations contained in Report PD-82-97 be APPROVED.
4. THAT a copy ofthis report be fOlWarded to Mr. & Mrs. Rickard and Dr. Campbell.
,
1 . BACKGROUND
1.1 At its meeting held on June 23,1997, Council tabled Report PD-82-97 to allow
staff to review the concerns raised by Mr. & Mrs. Rickard and Dr. Campbell.
2. CONCERNS RAISED BY MR. & MRS. RICKARD
Mr. & Mrs. Rickard's property abuts the proposed Kaitlin subdivision (See
Attachment No.1). They are concerned that the proposed turning circle for
Clarke Street will encroach the front portion of their property.
In the review of the Kaitlin subdivision, it was determined that it is necessary to
terminate Clarke Street at Mill Street. As a result, Condition No. 21 states:
ADDENDUM TO REPORT NO. PD-82-97
PAGE 2
"THAT the owner agrees that the reconstruction of Clarke Street to an
urban standard must include the physical closure of the existing Mill Street
South/Clarke Street intersection. A turn around must be constructed at the
easterly limit of Clarke Street to thEl satisfaction of the Director of Public
Works. Additional land dedications may be required to accommodate the
required turn around".
To implement the above noted condition, the applicant will be required to submit
detailed engineering drawings to show how the turn-around will be
accommodated. Should the front portion of Mr. & Mrs. Rickard's property be
needed, it would be up to the applicant to negotiate with Mr. & Mrs. Rickard to
acquire the property.
In the event the applicant fails $0 provide the turning circle, the plan of subdivision
would not be allowed to proceed towards registration as Condition 21 has not
been met.
Staff explained the above to Mr. Rickard'ymo now understands that the front
portion of his property mayor may not be required for the turn-around. In the
event the applicant requires his property to satisfy the Municipality's Condition #
21, it will be entirely up to the Rickards to determine whether or not they wish to
sell the land to the applicant. The Municipality does not get involved in this type
of negotiation nor would we insist the Rickard's land be used for the turning
circle.
3. CONCERNS RAISED BY DR. CAMPBELL
The Director of Planning met with Or. Campbell on June 27, 1997 and wish to
advise that Dr. Campbell's primary concern relates to the future vehicular traffic
passing through the Mill Street underpass. Specifically, with the future installation
of traffic signal at the underpass, northbound vehicles will have difficulty to
proceed uphill after stopping at the red light, particularly during winter months.

1.5 Area: Area subject to subdivision application - 2.574 ha (6.36 acres)
Additional lands owned by applicant - 10.086 ha (24.92 acres)
2. BACKGROUND
2.1 In April of 1991, Bramalea Umited, then the owners of the subject lands, applied to .
amend Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63 (DEV 91-041) In order to implement a
proposed plan of subdivision.

PAGE 3
. 2.2 Subsequently, the Planning and Development Department was advised by the
Regional Planning Department of an application submitted by Bramalea Limited for
a plan of subdivision (18T-91012).
2.3 Kaitlin obtained ownership of the subject lands in late 1995 and intends to continue
with the development applications started by Bramalea Limited. In the time which
had lapsed since the original applications were filed by Bramalea Limited, a new
Regional Official Plan was adopted by Regional Council and a new municipal Official
Plan was adopted by the Council of the Municipality of Clarington. Appropriate land
use policies have been included in the 1991 Regional Official Plan and in the
Clarington Official Plan to effectively guide the development of these lands.
2.4 Although, the Regional Planning Department has determined that Kaitlin may
proceed with the original subdivision file (18T -91012) opened by Bramalea Limited,
the Municipality of Clarington Planning and Development Department advised Kaitlin
that the related zoning amendment appli~ion(DEV 91-041) had been closed
following the collapse of Bramalea Limited due to the significant amount of time
which had passed since the original Public Meeting.
2.5 As a result, on February 20, 1997, the Planning ancl Development Department
received an application from Kaitlin to amend Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63
in order to implement the proposed plan of subdivision.
3. PUBLIC NOTICE, SUBMISSIONS AND RESIDENTS' MEETING
3.1 A Public Meeting to satisfy the requlrements of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as
amended by Bill 20, with respect to the zoning by-law amendment application was
held on April 7. 1997. Notice of the Public Meeting was mailed out in accordance
with the provisions of the Planning Act and a public notice sign was erected on both "
the Clarke Street and Baldwin Street frontages in accordance with Council policy.
REPORT NO. PD-82-97
PAGE 4
3.2 As a result of the public notification process, staff have received numerous counter
inquiries with respect to the proposal. Concerns were expressed regarding the
proposed reduction to both the lot frontage requirement and the lot area requirement
that were contemplated in the original submission. In addition, staff received six (6)
written submissions with respect to the proposal which expressed the same
concerns which were previously verbally expressed.
3.3 At the statutory Public Meeting, nine (9) members of the public addressed the
General Purpose and Administration Committee. Again, the concerns expressed
were the same as those previously expressed verbally and in writing. In addition,
as a result of the concerns which were expressed, Committee resolved to direct staff
to host a residents' meeting to address the concerns of the residents.
3.4 The residents' meeting was held on Wednesday, April 30, 1997 in the Municipal
Administrative Centre and was attended by approximately 20 area residents. During
the course of the meeting, it became appareQt that while the residents were strongly
opposed to all of the site specific zone category provisions proposed by Kaitlin, the
residents would not oppose the development of the subject lands in accordance with
the provisions ofthe existing "Urban Residential Type One Exception" zone category.
Kaitlin subsequently submitted a revised plan of subdivision which, as previously
noted, proposes the development of a 19 lot plan of subdivision in accordance with
the current Urban Residential Type One Exception (R1-1) provisions.
4. OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY
4.1 Within the 1991 Durham Regional Official Plan, the subject site is designated as a
Uving Area. The additional lands owned by the applicant are designated Waterfront
within the Major Open Space System although these lands are not included within
the current application. The proposed 19 lot subdivision is included within one of
three Uving Areas which comprise the Newcastle Village Urban Area and as such,
the application appears to conform with the intent of the Regional Official Plan.

4.2 With respect to the Clarington Official Plan the subject property is designated Urban
Residential. The additional lands owned by the applicant are designated
Environmental Protection Area although, as noted earlier, these lands are not
included within the current application. The current proposal for 19 single detached
units appears to be of reasonable proportion in relation to the balance of Kaitlin's
land ownership and the target population for the Port of Newcastle neighbourhood.
Therefore, the application appears to conform with the intent of the Clarington
Official Plan.
5. ZONING BY-LAW COMPLIANCE
5.1 The application for an amendment to Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63 is no
longer required since the current proposal contemplates the development of a 19
lot plan of subdivision in accordance with the current Urban Residential Type One
Exception (R1-1) provisions. These provisions require a minimum frontage of 18.0
metres and a minimum lot area requirement of 650 square metres.
. ',;>

6. AGENCY COMMENTS
6.1 The proposed plan of subdMsion was circulated for comments by the Regional
Municipality of Durham. Concurrently, the Planning and Development Department
undertook a circulation of the proposed zoning amendment application, prior to the
applicant confirming that the application would be withdrawn. The following
provides a brief summary of the comments received.
6.2 The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority advised that the plan of subdivision
has been revised, from the original B.ramalea proposal, to remove the Open Space
lands from the limits of the plan of subdivision. The Authority noted that their
previous negotiations regarding the plan would have resulted in the Open Space
lands being zoned Environmental Protection (EP) to recognize the floodplain and the
locally significant wetland that is present on the site.
REPORT NO. PD-82-97
PAGE 6
As a result, in order to allow for the proper protection of these lands, the Authority
requested that the applicant include the lands within the plan of subdivision in an
appropriate zone category. Currently, a portion of the floodplain and the locally
significant wetland that is present on the site are zoned Agricultural Exception (A-1).
However, it subsequently became apparent that the applicant was not willing to
include the valleylands within the limits of the plan of subdivision. As a result, the
Authority has withdrawn this request and offers no objection to the proposal subject
to several regulatory conditions regarding storm water management.
6.3 The Municipality of Clarington Fire Department has advised that the site would be
serviced by Station #2 which is operated by part-time firefighters on an "on-call"
basis. The Fire Department also notes that responses for this station have increased
substantially over the past few years and this application, when viewed in
conjunction with other large developments such as the Port of Newcastle, will
increase the strain presently on the St,ation's staff. The Fire Department
recommends that new residents be made aware of the level of service being
provided.
6.4 Ontario Hydro has reviewed the application in relation to Street "A", which traverses
a large hydro corridor to the south. Although Ontario Hydro offers no objection, it
is noted that the applicant will be responsible for all costs associated with the
crossing of the hydro right-of-way including relocation or revisions to Ontario Hydro
facilities.
6.5 Clarington Hydro has noted that Street "B" will provide an opportunity to allow for
underground cable installation between Clark Street and Street "A". However, it is
noted that should the construction of Street "A" precede the construction of Street
"B. an easement will be required in the location of Street "B" in order to facilitate the
installation. In addition, it is noted that if any works in the Clarke or Baldwin Street

road allowance require the relocation and/or reconstruction of existing hydro lines
or poles, the applicant shall be responsible for the total cost.
6.6 The Regional Planning Department reviewed the application in relation to the
provincial plan review responsibilities which were recently transferred to the Region
of Durham. It was noted that the subject lands have been assessed a high potential
for the presence of archaeological remains. An archaeological assessment was
prepared and subsequently found to be satisfactory. In addition, it was noted that
the Region's requirements for the provision of services will be satisfied through the
appropriate conditions for draft approval.
6.7 The Public Works Department has noted that the approval of the Port of Newcastle
subdivision (18T-91 004) to the south necessitated a series of improvements to the
surrounding municipal infrastructure which include but are not limited to the
following:
. reconstruction and upgrading of Toronto Street
.
. reconstruction and upgrading of Mill Street South
. improvements to the grade separation between Mill Street South and the
Canadian National Railway
. legal and physical closure of portions of the existing Toronto Street road
allowance
. improvements to the Canadian National Railway crossing located on Toronto
Street
. construction of a new major collector street (Street A on Plans 18T -91004 &
18T -91012) which serves as t~e primary access to this draft plan and to draft
approved plan of subdivision 18T-91004
. physical closure of the existing Clarke Street/Mill Street South intersection .
. construction of a new cul-de-sac at the east limit of Clarke Street including all
necessary land acquisitions
. installation of illumination and sidewalks on Toronto Street, Mill Street South
and the new major collector street. .
REPORT NO. PD-82-97
PAGE 8
The Public Works Department notes that the registration of this plan of subdivision
will not be permitted to occur until such time as the works deemed necessary by the
Director of Public Works have been completed.
In addition, it is noted that a portion of Mill Street South is situated on lands currently
owned by the applicant. The Public Works Department advises that these lands
must be added to the limits of the plan of subdivision and dedicated gratuitously to
the Municipality.
However, the Public Works Department offers no objection to the proposed plan of
subdivision subject to several conditions of draft approval regarding issues such as
storm water management, property access and road reconstruction.
6,8 The only other agencies which provided comments were the public and separate
school boards, neither of which offered objections to the proposal.

7. STAFF COMMENTS
7.1 Staff have reviewed the application in relation to the Clarington Official Plan,
Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63 and the uses in the surrounding area.
7.2 The applicant is now proposing to develop the subject lands in accordance with the
provisions of the existing Urban Residential Type One Exception (R1-1) zone
category. As a result, it would appear that the concerns of the area residents, with
respect to lot size and compatability have been addressed.
7.3 The approval of the application would result in the creation of 19 single detached
dwelling lots in addition to Open Space Block 20. The applicant has indicated to the
Planning and Development Department that they intend to retain ownership of this
Block and may eventually convey the parcel to the abutting property owner. Staff
note that this scenario would be acceptable but advise, for the applicant's

information, that this Block does not have sufficient lot area to qualify for a building
permit on its own.
7.4 Finally, staff note that the application has been red-line revised to create a new Block
21. This new Block will be dedicated to the Municipality and will alleviate the Public
Works Department's concern regarding that portion of Mill Street South currently on
the applicant's property.
8. CONCLUSION
8.1 In consideration of the comments contained within this report, the Planning and
Development Department would have no objection to a recommendation to the
Region of Durham of approval of the proposed plan of subdMsion, subject to the
conditions contained in Attachment No. 1 to this report.

Durham Region Non-Profit Housing Corporation
Report to the Board of Directors
Report No. 97-052
Date: June 19. 1997
SUBJECT
Devolution of Social Housing - Background Discussion Paper
RECOMMENDATION
THAT the Board Receive Report No. 97- 052 for information.
REPORT ..
1. Backaround
-.
In mid-January 1997, the provincial government announced that It was proposing
to assume the cost of education In exchange for devolving the responsibility for
funding a number of social and health care programs, including social housing, to
the municipalities. It is the province's contention that municipalities are better
suited to man~ge social housing programs as they are closer to the people who
live in these communities and hence should be able to provide better service and
access to those in need than Is presently the case.
In early May, 1997 after encountering opposltl,on from many groups including the
Metro Board of Trade, social agencies, opposition parties, AMQ, and even some
disgruntled Tory MPPs, the provincial government revisited the entire devolution
package, While a number of changes were made. the province remained
committed to turning over 100% of the responsibility for social housing to
municipalities. It is the only income support program which will not be cost-shared.
The devolution is to take effect as of January 1. 1998. Implementation plans will
be developed over the next six months. in part by the Advisory Council on Social
Housing, which includes social housing and municipal representatives, and in part
by two transitio~ teams, the Provincial. Municipal Team and the Social and
Community Health Services Team. It is expected that funding responsibility will
be devolved January 1, 1998, but that the devolution of administrative
responsibility will follow over a longer ti~e-framE!.
Ultimately, devolution will mean that municipalities
. fund all social housing;
administer social housing programs: and
operate public housing (although the extent of municipal control over public
housing is still unclear)

2. What is Social Housinq?
There arB approximately 260,000 units 01 social housing across Ontario. Social
housing is rental housing currently financed by the senior levels of government to
assist low and moderate Income households - Including families. seniors, singles
and persons with disabilities, whose housing needs are not being addressed by the
private sector.
There are a number of different social housing programs In Ontario. All are
presently being subsidized by either the provincial and/or federal governments.
In some instances. the subsidization of these units are cost-shared by the two
levels of government. In the Province of Ontario. the term "social housing"
comprises 1} Ontario Housing Corporation units (OHC); 2) Rent Supplement
Housing; and 3} Non-Profit (both community-based private and municipal)/Co-
Operative Housing.
1)
Ontario Housing Corporation (OHC), owned by the provincial government
and operated by.tbe Of:lC through 54 Local Housing Authorities, is also
referred to as publiC. housing. 100% of public housing tenants are
households who cannot afford private market housing and pay rent
according to their income. There are some 84,000 OHC units province-
wide. Funding of these units, to cover the difference between what the
tenant pays and the rent required to cover costs, Is currently cost-shared
SO%-2.QJo by the prOVincial and federal governments.
Rent Supplement Housing province widfl totals 13,000 units. These units
are also funded on a federaVprovinclal cellt-shared model, but the specifics
vary. Under this program, units are rented In privately-owned apartment
buildings and the government pays the landlord the difference between
geared-to-income rent paid by the tenant and the market rent cost of the
unit. The funding oLthese units Is currently being administered through the
Local Housing Authorities. The government entered into multi-year
agreements with private landlords to make these units available to needy
households. Prior to making the devolution announcement, the government
had already decided that upon explrallonof these agreements, they would
not be renewing same. Although agreements won't be renewed, subsidy
support to existing tenants will continue until such time as they vacate their
units.
2)
3)
Non-Profit and Co-operative Housing total approximately 172,000 units in
Ontario. Non-prOfit and Co-operative housing projects include a mix of low-
income tenants, paying rent-geared-to-income rent, and moderate Income
tenants paying market rents. This mix of low and moderate income
households was a program feature designed to create healthy. non-
ghettoised communities. Non-profit housing is owned and operated by
private community-based organizations, such as faith groups and service

clubs, as well as by municipalities. Co-operatives are non-profit housing
communities that were formed and are managed by the members thaI live in them.
3. Current Fundino and Administration of Social Housina
Over the last 30 years, social housing in Ontario has been funded under a variety
of programs: some unilaterally federal; some unilaterally provincial; and some
JOintly federal-provincial. There are currently 13 different programs in operation.
with a single housing provider frequently operating a portfolio Including projects
developed under several different programs. Each program is unique in terms of
Its funding formula, legal agreements, operating guidelines and reporting
requirements. (The Ministry has made some efforts to amalgamate Its unilateral
provincial programs) Providers with mixed portfolioS must maintain separate
accounting and reporting systems to accommodate each program under whIch
they operate.
. .- €wrently 75% of the total housing stock Is administered by the province. Much
o'f this stock receives both federal and provincial funding. The remaining 25% of
the stock is currently funded and admInistered exclusively by the federal
government. .
Federal-provincial negotiations are currently under way which will likely devolve
responsibility for the administration of all federal funding agreements for social
housing to the province of Ontario. Agreements of this nature have already been
signed with Saskatchewan, New Brunswick.... Newfoundland and the Northwest
Territories. The province of Ontario expects that federal devolution to Ontario will
be completed in time to Include these units in the transfer to municipalities.
Federal funds attached to social housing units would be passed through to the
municipal level by the Province. It should be noted however, that the devolution
agreements signed to date fix federal funding at 1995 levels with no Indexing.
4. T0 Which Level of Munlcloal Government Will Housina Be Devolved?
The Province has, to date, given no clear answer to this question which is to be
addressed by the Provincial/Municipal Transition Team. It has been assumed that
devolution will not be to the most local level of municipal government. It would
instead likely be to a second tier gove.rrtment, possibly at the regional or county
level. In some parts of the province: there is an obvious second tier to which
responsibility can be assigned. In other areas, there Is no regional or county
govemment and a new administrative structure would have to be created. There
are also areas of the province where municipal amalgamation plans would need
to be finalized before structures for social housing could be defined. However,
there has also been some discussion of the Province reconsidering the number of
housmg delivery agents and that they may in fact reduce the planned number from

the proposed 50 to 20.
5. Municipal/Provincial Responsibilities
The devolution of social housing means that municipalities will now assume the
role of administering housing programs (albeit maybe through a "service delivery
agency") and funding the housing stock built under these programs for which the
province was hitherto responsible for. (ThIs will likely also include the federal
housing stock devolved to the province)
As administrators of social housing programs. municipalities may be responsible
for setting housing policy, approving and monitoring operating budgets of public,
non-profit, and co-operative housing communities. providing support to providers
in terms of education and technical assistance to facilitate the successful operation
of their projects and general compliance reviews based on guidelines that may be
jointly ~stabllshed at the municipal a~d prOvincial levels.
. .
With the exception of those units currently owned and operated by municipal non-
profit housing corporations, municipalities will not assume the ownership of other
social housing units located in their political Jurisdictions. Community based non.
profit Qnd co-operative housing companies will contInue to own their projects, be
responsible for their management and maintain governance responsibilities for
them. The public housing stock will continue to be owned by the Province of
Ontario.
The province has Indicated that it will continue'to insure the project mortgages.
They have also said that it will continue to set and enforce province-wide
standards in such areas as eligibility and maintenance to ensure that social
housing Is delivered effectively and equitably to low Income households across the
province.
Since the financial, legal, and administrative issues related to the management of
Ontarlo's social housing stock are very complex, the province has estimated that
it will probably several years to deal with these Issues before a full transfer of
administrative responsibilities to the municipalities occur.
6. Risks. Issues and Concerns
Financial Risks
Provincial estimates show the devolution of provincially-administered social
housing as representing $905 million being transferred to the municipal property
tax base. This amount includes both operaUngsubsidies applied to social housing
operations and debt servicing as well as rent-geared-to-income subsidies.

It does not include the additional $564 mllliOl1ln federal contributions, .How~ver,
in all probability, the provincial estimates do not reflect the real costs which will be
faced by the municipalities for the following reasons:
Mortgage Interest Aates: Many social housing mortgages have been r,ecel1tly
renewed at extremely low interest rates. Whel1these mortgages roll.ov~r, ~nterest
rates may be significantly higher. It Is estimated that a one percent .rlse In mterest
ra.tes will result in a $100 million increase in costs across the province.
Currently all social housing mortgages are insured by either the provin:ial
government or the federal government through the cana~a Mortgage an,d Housing
Corporation (CMHC). It Is essential that this mortgage Insurance continue to be
retained by a higher level of government, as the magnitude of risk in this area
cannot be assumed by municipal governments.
Replacement ReserveS: All non-profit and co-operative housing p~ojects are
supposed to have replacem~nt reserves, funded annually, to cover th~.costs of
capital replacement. A moratoriuiTl was placed on capital res~~. .fund
contributions from 1992-94 while the Ministry "studied" alternate funding
mechanisms. Contributions were reinstated In 1995. however at reduced levels
(20% of previous levels) intended to deal only with "minor" capital replacements.
The Ministry's plan was for providers to borrow money for "major" repairs in the
future, using MMAH guarantees and subsidy.
The one.time allocation of $173 million for replacement reserve funding for non-
profit and co-operative housing announceo' as part of the devolution plan, will
restore replacement reserves to close to the level where they would have been
had they not been frozen five years ago. However it is doubtful that even this level
is sufficient to meet capital replacement needs in10 the future.
Capital replacement needs of public housing stock have been addressed differently
from the non-profit and co-operative stock. Instead of accumulating reserve funds
these needs have been met annually on a cash basis out of operating budgets.
While for the Metro Toronto Housing Authority the need has not been adequately
met and significant capital is required to upgrade this housing stock, in Durham the
public housing IsJn generally good condition. However. it remains that this stockis
without replacement reserves to meet future capital requirements.
Operating Costs: The cost of operating social. housing can fluctuate considerably
from year over year as a result of cost spikes In such items as utilities. especially
In a bad winter, garbage collection, etc, Provincial cost estimates have likely not
allowed for these fluctuations. It should also be noted that there have been
significant cuts to operating costs over the last five years, such that social housing
providers are now operating on "bare bones" budgets with no room for further cuts
and also with many deferred maintenance Items from previous years.

Program Administration Costs: Administration of the thirteen different social
housing programs is currently carried out by the Housing Operations Division of
the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, through their seven regional offices.
The staffing budgets of the Operations Division and the regional offices represent
the current cost of administering social housing programs. No provision has been
made in provincial estimates with regard to program adminstration costs.
Rent-Geared-to-Income Subsidies: Subsidies for units occupied by households
qualifying for assisted housing vary from year-ta-year depending on tenant income
and number of rent-geared-to.lncome units during the period. Provincial cost
estimates are presumably based on current costs. However. in a time of economic
downturn, tenants' incomes could drop significantly and the number of assisted
units could increass, resulting in a corresponding increase in rent subsidy costs.
Rental Income: Approximately 20% of social housing tenants across the province
pay market rents. (For Durham Non-Profit Housing 40% of tenants are market)
Income from market rent tenants can be jeopardized by a soft rental market. In
addition, to enhance the marketability"of units buildings and grounds must be well-
maintained.
Unequal Distribution of Social Housing Across the Province: While there is
a least one social housing provider in every region across the province. the
distribution of units Is very uneven and does not correspond to tax base
distribution. The result Is that. while all munlclpalltles will have some social
housing to administer and fund, some will be assuming a disproportionate share
of the burden.
'., .~
.
Other Issues
Administrative Capacity: In addition to the cost implications as outlined. there
is a need to define an administrative structure that provides the appropriate
Infrastructure to perform the required program oversight in an cost effective
manner that minimizes duplication of services.
In order to minimize the administrative burden to municipalities, systemic reform
prior to devolution Is essential. Reforms must be implemented that:
.
eliminate risks for municipalities:. .
guarantee the financial viability of housing providers;
harmonize programs; and
streamline administration and accountability
.

.
Public Accountability: A common framework for accountability and standard

Devolution of social housing will raise concerns that management problems will
reflect poorly on the municipalities.
Program Control: There is a need to balance .pay" for "say" with the need for
provincial standards that sustain common levels of service. affordability and access
to housing across 1he province.
Timing: It Is the province's intention to transfer the funding responsibility January
1. 1998, yet municipalities will have no control or detailed Information of the costs
that it.will assume. .
8. Summary ot'Social Houslna Slock in Durham Realan
. .
As noted In the 'attached schedules, there are a total of 7,631 social housing units
In the Regional Municlpallty of Durham (9th highest region in the province), "J'his
number does not include supportive housing units located In free-standing group
homes or shelters as the government has Indicated that they will not be
transferring the responsibility for administering or funding these units to
municipalities at this time,
There are approximately 57 housing provlde,fs who own and manage these units
in 108 housing communities throughout the Region.
_ Durham Region Non-Froflt Housing Corporation owns 1128 of these units located
in the following municipalities: Brock (Beaverton, Cannlngton, and Sunderland)
Clarington, Oshawa, Fickering, UlCbridge. and Whitby. In addition. we manage an

1.0 PREAMBLE
1.1 Reason fOT the Committee
This report is a result of the resolution passed at Regional Council in December 1996. Concern
had arisen due to the Crombie "Who Does What'.' Panel's recommendations. The thrust of
Crombie's findings was that more amalgamation should occur and duplication and waste should
be reduced or eliminated. Council decided that the Region needed to examine and document
who performs what functions in our municipalities, to consider ways to streamline service
delivery and to increase co-operation between municipalities.
Since the Crombie Panel findings, the Provincial Government announced their decisions on
"who does what" during "Mega-Week", January 13-17,1997. As a result it is even more critical
that Durham Region and the Area Municipalities in the region are co-operating ( and
documenting that co-operation) to demonstrate that waste and duplication have been addressed.
As a result, the CAO's of the Region and the Local Municipalities were instructed to form a
WOW Committee and examine all aspects of service delivery:
,
"THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
THAT UPON THE COMPLETION OF THE CROMBIE"WHO DOES WHAT' PANEL
AND ITS RECOMMENDATIONS BEING PUT FORTH THAT THE REGION OF
DURHAM APPOINT ITS OWN "WHO DOES WHAT" COMMITTEE TO LOOK AT
ALL ASPECTS OF SERVICE DELIVERY AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL AND SEE
HOW THEY FIT INTO THE MUNICIPAL SERVICE DELIVERY PROGRAM"
Regional Council Meeting 20/11/96
"MOVED by Councillor Hamre,
THAT WE RECOMMEND TO COUNCIL:
A) THAT A REGIONAL "WHO DOES WHAT" COMMITTEE WHICH IS TO BE
COMPRISED OF THE REGIONAL CAO. AND THE MANAGERS/C.A.O. 'S OF
THE EIGHT AREA MUNICIPALITIES BE FORMED; AND
B) THAT THE REGIONAL "WHO DOES WHAT" COMMITTEE REPORT BACK TO
REGIONAL COUNCIL THROUGH THE REGIONAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE"

1.2 Purpose ofthe Committee
The current Provincial government has begun to implement huge changes with a shift of focus
regarding priorities. Reductions in public sector spending which have been initiated at the
Provincial level are being expected to be implemented locally. While the Province is
encouraging change at the municipal level, that change must include a commitment to certain
objectives:
. to save money
. to preserve and enhance essential services
. to reduce duplication
. to simplify government
. to streamline decision making
. to improve accountability
. to demonstrate a real desire to reform existing government structures
The purpose of this committee's endeavours was to rationalize provision of services delivered by
the Region of Durham and local municipalities, with the view of removing duplication, overlap
and confusion to rate payers and reducing delivery costs.
There has been a considerable history of \to-operative ventures within the region, and
departments in the different municipalities'have regular meetings with their counterparts. What
has been lacking is docwnentation.of those past efforts and successes. The intention of this
report is to redress this deficiency and also to make recommendations/suggestions of how to best
streamline service delivery in the light of the prevailing provincial political will.
1.3 How the Committee Approached the Task
At the first meeting of this committee it was decided that the group would consider efforts to
rationalize services within the Region from three standpoints, within the restrictions of the
mandate given to the committee by council:
. initiatives that had been successfully implemented and were now in place
. ventures currently under consideration but not yet in operation
. those future opportunities that may exist if explored more fully.
Subsequent to the first WDW committee meeting, the writer met with each of the Local C.A.O.'s
and gathered information regarding successes the municipalities had already had to this point,
and what suggestions/recommendations each would make for future co-operative efforts. A
guideline was used (see Appendix I) to focus discussion.
After the initial individual meetings a draft report was made and circulated prior to the next
WDW meeting. Subsequent drafts were prepared as a result of discussions by the committee,
and further meetings with some C.A.O. 's.
5
During the discussion phase, it became clear that total unanimity on where responsibility for
service funding and lor delivery should lie would not be attainable. Consensus, therefore was not
an option and majority views were often adopted. One of the tools used (see appendix 3) was a
62 point service checklist. The C.A.O.'s used this to identify, in a conceptual way, which tier
they felt should be responsible for a particular service. In very few instances were these
decisions unanimous. At this point, for clarification and ease of identification, two further
summary charts were drawn up (see appendices 4 and 5).
During the WDW committee meetings (there have been eight such group meetings),
considerable amounts of information have been distributed to increase awareness of relevant
issues, e.g., updates on other meetings pertaining to WDW, the ''Mega Week" financial impacts,
GTSB information. A study on Fire Service provision commissioned by the Region ofY ork, a
study by McCormick Rankin on Alternative Road Management System Options for the County
of Hastings and The County of Simcoe, and a copy of Ottawa-Carleton's Report on Tax
Collection and Administration were circulated. All of these studies indicated that amalgamation
of services effect cost savings.
During the preparation period of this report there have been a series of external factors that have
impacted the discussion phase. The changing fiscal pictures emerging as a result of the ''Mega
Week" announcements in January, and th,e revised version presented in April, have had an
influence. The prevailing Provincial political will as evidenced by the City of Toronto Act,
1996, the ChathamlKent amalgamation, the Kingston amalgamations have had a major effect
during the deliberations of the committee. In addition to those decided amalgamations, Ottawa
and Hamilton are continuing to be studied. These actions demonstr.lte a readiness on the part of
the Provincial government to step in and impose decisions upon municipalities who demonstrate
an inability to restructure themselves. Consequently, the issue of municipal boundary .
amalgamation within Durham was determined to be a critical consideration, but it was
recognized that this was beyond the mandate of this committee.
In considering changes in any delivery model, in so far as possible, certain principles must be
adhered to:
. The cost of government at all levels should be reduced
. There should be accountability for services provided
. Those services which are important to taxpayers should be protected and enhanced
. Delivery of service should be based on who can most effectively and efficiently provide
that service
It should be noted that the City Manager of Oshawa was present at all of the committee meetings
and participated within the discussions arising, he did not participate in the survey element, nor
did he participate within the committee's establishment of "majority support" upon which the
central positions taken in this report were developed. Consequently he is not a signatory to that
report.

All of the information contained in the document is accurate up to the .time of printing. however
it should be recogni7M that in this very fluid political climate, that there may be some changes
that have already occurred. It is emphasised that the results documented in this report are
generated from best judgements, using years of experience, and not from analytical data. To
attempt detailed financial and operational analyses would have been extremely time consuming
and costly, and beyond the scope of this committ~e. TIlls report is an initial examination of
possibilities to explore further if so instructed.

2.0 PRESENT VENTURES
There has been a bistory within this region of regular meetings between some of the departments
(e.g., Works, Planning, Economic Development, Fire) to try and develop a more rational
approach to service delivery. A broad summary of those successes are outlined below, those
acbieved Local Municipality -Local Municipality.and those Region-Local Municipality.

department, particularly advice on personnel matters. These municipalities also use the
Region for training where possible e.g., WHMIS
. Brock. Scugog and Uxbridge have a joint venture for election procedures
. The Region and the Area Municipalities share in co-operative purchasing which results in
reduced costs
,
2.2 Protection to Persons and Propettv

communications and dispatch for Uxbridge and Oshawa provides dispatch to Scugog
. There are fire protection agreements between some municipalities e.g.,Uxbridge and
Scugog
. Uxbridge has an emergency van which is used by the three northem municipalities if
needed
2.2.2 Other Services

2.8
Planning
.
The Region's second official plan was approved in November. 1993 providing a strategic
plan for development of the Region to 2021. All Area Municipal official plans are based
on the Regional plan
The Region exercises local official plan and lot creation approval functions (consent,
plans of subdivision/condominium, part lot control)
The Region has accepted transfer of provincial review responsibilities for the approval
functions commencing mid 1996. The Region ensures that all approvals given have
regard for provincial policy
The Region provides local municipalities with comments on the applicability of
provincial policy for applications under their jurisdiction
The Region and the Province have provided training sessions to Pickering staff in four
areas (Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Mfairs, Ministry of Culture, Citizenship
and Recreation, Ministry of Natural Resources, and Ministry of Energy and
Environment). Although the Region retains responsibility for plan review in these areas,
Pickering has agreed to assist the Region in several aspects of the review function
.

2.9
Economic Develol'ment
.
,
In a collaborative effort with the area municipalities, a liaison team was established
approximately ten years ago to discuss joint programmes and share resources. 1bis effort
has remained in place and with the support of all parties meets approximately monthly
Jointly finance trade shows, seminars, advertisements
In addition to their individual efforts, area municipalities work co-operatively with the
Region to facilitate their international marketing
Due to a broad overview, the Region is able to show potential clients various
municipalities within the Region so that a prospective business may be more likely to
find a location that satisfies all requirements
In partnership with the area municipalities the Region is targeting sectors, such as day
tourism, aerospace defence, plastics and automotive, where a critical mass level of
approximately 500,000 population is essential
While the Region may focus more on programmes and initiatives that more regularly
cross municipal boundaries, the individual municipalities assume more of a focus on the
critical local area issues, municipal specific initiatives, and that critical role of direct local
contact with clients to facilitate business plan implementation or problem resolution. A
positive co-operative effort between the Region and the local municipality can be
beneficial for the community and results in production consequences
Given the economies of scale, many Provincial and Federal agencies will deal with the
Region, which in turn will be responsible for information flow and partnering at the local
level
11
.
Working co-operatively, for the benefit of the whole community, Economic Development
Departments in the Region have been able to realize many successful projects. Examples
would include, but not be limited to,
all Area Municipalities invited to attend and participate in DREDAC and BAN.

4.0 FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES
Many opportunities have been identified for future rationa1ization of service, increased
co-operation etc. Some of these opportunities could be implemented in the same way as those
that are currently practised. However, some of the recommendations would involve a more
fundamental shift in how business is conducted and would require more detailed analysis.
4.1 General Government
4.1.1 Legal services
. Brock and see potential for sharing legal services with the Region
. Ajax also sees more combination possible in some legal services
4.1.2 Court Administration
. Ajax regards combination of administration as a possibility (e.g., for Provincial Offences
Administration)
4.1.3 Payroll
. Ajax sees value in purchasing SalVe systems (possibly for backup)
4.1.4 Purchasing
. While recognizing the co-operative purchasing venture already in place, Ajax also sees
this could be expanded
4.1.5 Tax Billing and Collection
. More co-ordination of policies and procedures would be valuable and Ajax also suggests
that purchase of similar systems would facilitate backup if necessary
. Pickering suggests that there is no need to have multiple collection systems and that there
could be a single, Regional level of tax collection
4.1.6 Elections
. Ajax believes that more sharing of knowledge would be valuable e.g., Ajax used vote
tabulators at last election and saved $50,000
. Pickering sees value in sharing advertising costs etc.
4.2 Protection to Persons and ProDertv
4.2.1 Fire Protection
. Ajax sees possible restructuring, using shared personnel (particularly in training), and
shared equipment. Ajax also sees a need for a Regional coordination role
. Whitby sees value in some amalgamations/shared personnel, but cautions that the varying
use of volunteers along with differing expectations may inhibit this

. Whitby and Ajax see the need for Fire and Ambulance to be located together. Pickering
agrees with that and thinks that it may be better to co-locate, Police, Fire and Ambulance
. Whitby recommends having one major fire training area
. Brock sees opportunity to service areas closest to fire halls (both internal and external to
municipality - porous boundaries)
. Brock sees potential to co-ordinate joint purchases
4.2.2 Protective Inspections
. Uxbridge sees value in joint inspections for the three Northern Municipalities
. Clarington also would be willing into looking at co-operative inspections
. Ajax would also explore sharing of inter-municipal resources and ideas
. Pickering suggests investigating integrating other agency inspections e.g., Home
Warranty Program, Ontario Hydro installation inspections
4.2.3 By-law Enforcement
. Brock sees an opportunity to share in the prosecution aspect with other municipalities
. Clarington views by-law enforcement as a potentially shared responsibility
4.2.4 Animal control
. )Clarington sees animal control al\..an area for co-operation
. Whitby and Pickering view further amalgamations as possible. Whitby believes this
particularly appropriate along the lakeshore municipalities
4.2.5 Emergency Measures
. Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Clarington, Scugog, Brock, Uxbridge support an increased
coordination role by the Region. The Region has a new depar1ment and when fully
established will be happy to provide any advice, assistance, planning to any area
municipality which requests it
4.3 Transportation/Construction
4.3.1 Roads
. Uxbridge sees possible future co-operation in snow ploughing and road maintenance
. Brock sees opportunity to consolidate Works' yards into one building to house Regional
and Township operations
. Brock is looking at possibility of sharing vehicles with other municipalities
. Pickering and the Region will be revisiting discussions in 1997 on shared maintenance
possibilities - road maintenance, debris collection, grass trimming, borrowing of
equipment and surveying
. Brock sees opportunity to share maintenance of certain Regional Roads (i.e. #47 & #50)
. Ajax sees the need for more interaction between Works departments of area
municipalities. Feels that they have good working cooperation with Region in place.
More opportunities exist for joint tendering and sharing of equipment and personnel

. Whitby sees an opportunity for disentanglement when Regional road construction is
going into a municipal reconstruction program. The local level should have delegated
authority to adm;n;ster the contract thereby eliminating duplication and confusion
. Whitby sees another area for disentanglement if area municipalities manage storm
sewers. Currently they have broader responsibility for Storm Management quality and
could easily incorporate storm sewer responsibilities
4.3.2 Transit
. Uxbridge and Ajax both see the need for a Regionally co-ordinated transit system
. Whitby sees the need for a Regionally co-ordinated service only along Highway #2
. Pickering believes there is the potential for a community bus service along Kingston Rd.
Corridor between Ajax and Pickering to provide pick-up and delivery to bus stop within
closest proximity of destination using existing Specialized Services fleets
. Pickering sees that there could be a local fixed route service to connect with GO express
bus service
. Pickering sees the need for a co-ordination of bus service to Highway #7. Expansion of
north-south service will be required to meet GTA north commuter demand
. Pickering also views a Regional Transit system as valuable to co-ordinate public
transportation within the Region, co-ordinate CTAP Program, initiatives, co-ordinate
Specialized Services/Handi-Transit funding for all communities with the Region, co-
. ordinate intra-Regional travel on conventional transit
4.3.3 Other
. Parking - Ajax feels that more information sharing would be valuable re problem
solving. Exchange of ideas e.g., innovative ways of improvement could be better
communicated
4.4 Public Health
. The Province is downloading septic tank inspections. The Region has responsibility for
large private sewage systems and Local Municipalities will be responsible for all other
private sewage systems. The Region sees an opportunity to enter into agreements with
municipalities to inspect all of the systems since the Region currently has the necessary
expertise
4.5 Recreational and Cultural Services
4.5.1 Libraries
. Uxbridge and Whitby see the need for a co-ordinating body, probably best suited to the
Region (to ensure smooth transfer of materials etc. and maybe expand upon borrowing
rights)
. Whitby sees the value in having all municipalities having a reciprocal borrowing
arrangement
. Pickering suggests investigating Regional facilities
17
4.5.2 Cultural Programs
. Uxbridge suggests there may be a need for a Regional presence iflarger scale fiIcilities
are required - possibly partnerships with private enterprise
4.6 Planninll
. Clarington may investigate possibility of purchase of service from CLOCA forestry
officers to enforce municipal tree preservation by-law
. Further discussions with Ajax respecting the potential for Pickering's assistance in areas
of property control, mapping and GIS
. Brock sees opportunity to share Regional mapping services as the region has the
equipment and the expertise, and. other planning functions could be shared as the need
anses
. Brock sees opportunity to involve other municipalities and the Region re Alternative
Dispute Resolution to reduce/avoid OMB hearings
. Explore the feasibility of delegation of approval power from the Region to the
municipalities of Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa and Clarington for:
~ local official plan amendments
~ draft plans of subdivision
~ land severance applicatiol\ls
. Whitby suggests that to streamline'the planning processthe.Regional Official Plan should
be less detailed and prescriptive. It should be retooled to be a broader planning guideline
including strategies to deal with the bigger planning issues and infrastructure. If changes
conform to the Provincial and Regional standards that should be sufficient. The result
would be a time and costs savings to the taxpayer
4.7 Economic Development
The committee is of the opinion that Economic Development should be a shared
responsibility, and some of the suggestions from departments were:
. Region suggests investigating duplication in printing of brochures, marketing, data
collection etc.
. There is an emphasis on "one-stop shopping" and the Region sees the need for looking at
ways to provide this approach, so that consumers can contact one location and receive
information about the whole region
. Region believes we should be investigating ways ofpartnering more with the private
sector
. Brock sees an opportunity to co-ordinate economic development department function as
the infrastructure exists at the Region. Area municipalities could designate one person to
act as liaison to the Region (a whole department is not cost effective)

5.0 INITIATIVES WITH OTHER MUNICIPALITIES/ORGANIZATIONS
Some municipalities have arrangements with other municipalities and organizations outside of
the Region's municipalities. Examples of these endeavours are:
Pickering
. The manager of building services obtained full membership in Toronto Area Chief
Building Officials Committee in 1996 and meets monthly with this group of 18 officials.
TACBOC is the source of many efforts to standardize practices of member municipalities
to produce better and more consistent services across the GTA
. There is considerable involvement with different committees and sub-committees geared
towards sharing information, processes, policies, standards, fee schedules etc. e.g.,
~ Metro Area Code Interpretation Committee
~ Structural Advisory Committee
~ Metro Area Plumbing Advisory Committee
Whitby
,
. Tax billing is done in conjunction With the Royal Bank
. Computer equipment for elections is shared with another municipality outside of the
region
. There is a fleet maintenance agreement with Whitby Hydro. Whitby maintains Hydro's
vehicles - Whitby's operations centre is adjacent to Whitby Hydro on Taunton Rd.
Uxbridge
. Uxbridge has fire protection agreements with Whitchurch-Stouffville and East
Gwillimbury (both in York Region)
Brock
. Brock has fire protection agreements with Township of Eldon and Mariposa (County of
Victoria), Township ofRamara (County of Simcoe) and Town of Georgina (Region of
York)
. There are road boundary agreements with Township of Eldon (Victoria County)
. Brock manages federally owned harbours in Beaverton and Thorah Island
. There is a co-operative venture with Regional Police for space (Community Policing
Office in Beaverton)
. There is a co-operative venture Attorney-General's office for probation clients using
municipal office building

6.0 WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
In summary, this report, following extensive review, has addressed the three major goals. First,
it details current co-operative efforts; secondly, it articulates areas under review; and thirdly, it
defines those areas that may properly justify further study. Service responsibilities sug",oested at
the local and upper tier levels are detailed for the <::onsideration of the reader.
The report clearly shows that municipalities want greater communication between each other, so
that cost-saving successes and ideas can be adapted and incorporated into their own service
delivery systems. There is also recognition that there can be a greater sharing of equipment,
manpower and services to the benefit ofthe taxpayer.
The efforts made by the committee are only preliminary. More comprehensive, independently
conducted studies are needed in three broad areas:
. Fire/Ambulance
. Works - roads and solid waste collection
. Planning
By using financial data, these studies shollld identify where cost savings could be most
effectively realised without compromising'the principles outlined at the beginning of this report.
It should be noted that a "one size fits all" policy in service delivery may not be the optimum
solution for Durham Region. There are clearly defined differences in the needs of the lakeshore
communities and those of the more northern rural areas. It was agreed that in future evaluation
and considerations of service delivery, it is important to realise that Durham Region is not
homogeneous in nature, and, therefore, various delivery systems may be appropriate.
Since the preparation of the report commenced, it has been realized that a great deal has occurred
within the Province. It has been evident that failing locally generated restructuring solutions, the
Province has demonstrated its preparedness to impose future direction. Given the current
government's stated (and implemented) policies of municipal amalgamation and service cost
reduction, a critical issue outstanding in the context of any fully realistic domestic Durham
initiative of this nature is municipal boundary amalgamation. It was the understanding of the
committee of Chief Administrative Officers that they were not to consider this critical issue
within their mandate as directed. Accordingly, all observations/recommendations contained
herein are based on the current municipal structure.
The Committee has applied itself to the tasks associated with the mandate given to it. The group
recognizes that after lengthy review, discussion and debate on numerous issues, the movement
for significant change is dependent upon a clear statement of political will. It is not possible for
a group of senior staff to recommend dramatic change while realizing the need to respect existing
political positions. Change of a broad and multifaceted nature will require collective political
direction and commitment.
