PRESENTATIONS
Margaret Clayton, Vice-Chair, Durham Region Energy-From-Waste Site Liaison
Committee (EFW-SLC), addressed Council on behalf of Richard Walli, Chair, who
was unable to attend this evening. Ms. Clayton stated Site Liaison Committee
meetings were held on November 5, 2008, January 14, 2009 and March 4, 2009 to
receive deputations and presentations and to review studies completed to date. She
stated Committee members will be reviewing all information in formulating
recommendations and noted as there are no Committee recommendations at this
time, any opinions expressed during the presentation are personal and not a reflection
of the Committee.
Ms. Clayton provided an overview of business conducted at the meetings. Over the
course of meetings, the Committee has received presentations from the Consultants
on the project background, the Environmental Assessment Terms of Reference and
submission timeline, the EA process, site specific studies completed or in the process
of completion, environmental surveillance and the RFP process. Public deputations
have been made to the Committee and questions and comments have been received
from the public. Ms. Clayton responded to concerns regarding the posting of study
documents and minutes to the website and the availability of study reports.
Ms. Clayton stated a meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 8, 2009, at 7:00 p.m.
at Regional Headquarters to review and discuss submissions and studies and to
formulate suggestions or recommendations to the Joint Waste Management Group.
In response to questions, Ms. Clayton confirmed that it is the Committee's intention to
have an open and transparent process and to welcome citizen engagement. She
indicated that delegations would be received at the meeting of April 8th following which
the meeting would be open for questions.
Saurabh Srivastava, Student, University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) and
Evan Kitchen, Durham College Alumni addressed Council on behalf of the Omega
Solar Team. Mr. Srivastava stated the development of the solar car is a dual
collaborative project of the UOIT and Durham College and the Solar Car Challenge
occurs every two years where teams race over 3,000 km in the Australian outback
from Darwin to Adelaide. He noted many universities and corporations from around
the world participate and that Omega Solar will be participating in October, 2009.
Through use of a PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Srivastava highlighted the mechanical
design of the solar car and reviewed the energy flow pattern depicting how the solar
car works. Mr. Srivastava acknowledged the support of Local 463 of the Plumbers
and Welders Union who have donated their shop in Clarington for the construction of
the vehicle. He noted their design is the first to incorporate a college and a university
and the car will be painted half blue and half green to symbolize the collaboration.
Mr. Srivastava stated the team is working with a restricted budget of $250,000 noting
some other teams have budgets in the millions. He stated their main objective is to
finish the race and is requesting financial assistance from the Municipality in support
of the project.

In response to questions, Mr. Srivastava stated if the Municipality provided financial
assistance, a decal would be put on the car promoting the municipality on the
international stage.
DELEGATIONS
Jim Richards addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item I - 28 - Rules of
Procedure and Delegation Time Limits. Mr. Richards expressed concern that
Mayor Abernethy is not applying the rules of Council consistently and fairly. He
questioned why during some delegations, Mayor Abernethy interrupts to advise the
delegate of time remaining, but in other cases allows the delegate to speak for the full
five minute time limit and then asks them to wrap up. Mr. Richards also questioned
why, in one instance, an alternate person was not permitted to address the General
Purpose and Administration Committee on behalf of a delegate who was unable to
attend, but at the previous Council meeting a member of the gallery, who was not
listed as a delegation, was invited to come forward to address Council. Mr. Richards
stated he was only asking for fairness and for the rules to be applied equally and
consistently.
Libby Racansky addressed Council regarding Item 5 of Report # 1 - Nash Road
Reconstruction - Public Information Centre questioning the timing and positioning of
the Nash Road reconstruction and how all affected residents can be assured that the
water problems will be solved by this project. Ms. Racansky also questions if there
are plans to reconstruct Nash Road, west of Courtice Road, which is in the same or
worse condition. She feels that the bridge over the Black Creek should be repaired
first for the safety of current and future residents and that development charges
should be spent on repairing the bridge.
In response to questions, Ms. Racansky stated she feels the bridge is unsafe
especially in view of the crack in the structure.
Brent Farr, Executive Director, Community Care Durham, addressed Council
concerning Item 13 of Report # 1 - Addendum to Report COD-015-09 - Garnet B.
Rickard Recreation Complex Lease Space - Community Care Durham. Mr. Farr
introduced Sally Barrie, Administrator, Clarington Home Support and Jennifer Rusaw,
Manager of the Newcastle Day Program.
Mr. Farr stated Community Care Durham services 1,500 clients each year in
Clarington through the efforts of 500 volunteers equating to 46,000 hours supporting
such services as "Meals on Wheels", escorted transportation, telephone checks and
friendly visiting. The Adult Day program, a program offering a safe setting for clients
to enjoy a wide variety of social and recreational programs conducted by qualified staff
and volunteers, is currently located in Newcastle and has 31 members, the majority of
which are from the Newcastle area. He stated the clients of the Adult Day Program do
not pose a threat within the facility and the security measures are for their own safety
as a number of clients are frail or suffer from Alzheimer's disease or other forms of
dementia. Mr. Farr indicated that 65% of their funding comes from the Central LHIN
Council Meeting Minutes
- 5 -
April 6, 2009
but the remainder must be raised through fundraising efforts, the United Way, client
fees and support from the local municipalities. Mr. Farr stated their business plan is a
sound plan recovering the cost of leasehold improvements, offering stability, adding
value to the facility by establishing the best use of the premises by constructing office
space, and addressing the current shortage of space at the Clarington Beech Centre.
Mr. Farr referenced Schedule "D" to Report COD-015-09 and distributed copies of
Additional Notes to Schedule "D" highlighting a comparison of base rent, total
leasehold improvement cost estimate including allowances, Community Care
Durham's contribution toward leasehold improvements, and the Municipality's
maximum contribution for the first 1 0 year lease, utility costs and first 1 0 year lease
plus 1 0 year option to renew. Mr. Farr indicated the actual revenue to the Municipality
in the first 10 years is $3,102 and actual revenue to the Municipality over 20 years is
$553,652.
In response to questions, Mr. Farr confirmed that since they started the program they
have struggled to maintain their level of membership based on their LHIN
commitments. He stated moving the Adult Day Program to Bowmanville would
position the program central to the community and help increase membership. He
confirmed that they can accommodate up to nine staff in the Newcastle location and
the additional spacing provides the capacity to grow. Mr. Farr advised every
opportunity is taken to integrate programs to realize economies of scale.
Jennifer Rusaw confirmed the Adult Day Program offers a respite to caregivers and
provides social programs to clients.
Mr. Farr confirmed that they only receive 65% funding from the LHIN and that there
could be some confusion as to funding as the Community Care Access Centre is
funded 100% by the LHIN.
In response to questions, Ms. Barrie confirmed that they do not duplicate services
offered by the Clarington Older Adult Association.
Resolution #C-183-09
Moved by Councillor Novak, seconded by Councillor Woo
THAT the Rules of Procedure be suspended to allow Members of Council to speak to
the matter more than once.
"CARRIED"
In response to further questions, Mr. Farr confirmed that while he did not do the
property search himself, they have been looking for an appropriate facility for 2 to 3
years and that the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex location would be ideal for
their programs as there is great value in having a secure, long-term tenant.

April 6, 2009
Peter Evans, President, Clarington Older Adult Association, addressed Council
concerning Item 13 of Report #1 - Addendum to Report COD-015-09 - Garnet B.
Rickard Recreation Complex Lease Space - Community Care Durham stating he is in
attendance tonight to address Report COD-015-09 specifically on points affecting the
Clarington Older Adult Association (COAA). He stated the COM has concerns with
the proposed lease extension for Community Care Durham offices with the open
ended nature of the lease, particularly if the Rickard Centre lease does not proceed.
Mr. Evans stated in view of the Association's need for more space, he requested that
the lease extension be temporary until Community Care Durham relocates in the
foreseeable future and that a cap be placed on the extension to allow Community
Care to make alternative arrangements.
Angie Darlison, Executive Director, Clarington Older Adult Association addressed
Council concerning Item 13 of Report #1 - Addendum to Report COD-015-09-
Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex Lease Space - Community Care Durham
requesting that Council set a precise deadline on the lease extension as she feels
having a reasonable deadline will help Community Care Durham with their search for
space. She stated operating with an open-ended lease will be distracting and cause
uncertainty and will not be helpful to Community Care.
In response to questions, Ms. Darlison stated their initial request was for six to twelve
months.
Ron Collis addressed Council concerning Item 19 of Report #1 - Earth Hour.
Mr. Collis stated March 28, 2009, marked the 3rd Annual Earth Hour and the second
year the Municipality of Clarington participated in the event. He advised for the
second consecutive year, Clarington has recorded the largest percentage drop during
Earth Hour for municipalities serviced by Veridian Corporation. Mr. Collis extended
appreciation to all who participated or helped spread the word of the event on behalf
of the Clarington Living Green Community Advisory. Mr. Collis indicated that Earth
Hour conveys a method of education and realization that there are simple things that
can be done to reduce the carbon footprint. Mr. Collis highlighted the Earth Hour
stroll, a guided historical walk organized by Charles Tawes, in which approximately 50
people participated. Mr. Collis thanked Charles Tawes, staff of the Clarington
Museum, the Municipality of Clarington, Veridian Corporation and Hydro One and
encouraged all residents to take up the challenge to lead to a greener and prosperous
community.

forward with a two-year rule change for environmental assessments
(EA) for projects that have completed provincial and municipal

to EA documents, and provide for public participation.

the needs of the local area in such an Agreement.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Municipality of Grey
Highlands requests that the Province undertake a comprehensive

4.0 NEW BUSINESS AT DIRECTION OF CHAIR
4.1 Library Crosswalk-Newcastle
Ron Baker advised members that the main purpose of crossing guards is to assist

definite problem with parking on this street. He said that there are approximately
17 school buses that park on this street between 8:00-9:00 a.m. on school
mornings. The original School was designed to accommodate local children who
would walk to the school. When the school became a French bnmersion School
the situation changed and the children who used to walk to school were now
replaced by children who need to be bused to school.
Sunday morning parking on Parkway Crescent continues to be an issue. Stuart

accommodations for additional vehicles. It was suggested that the side grassed
area could be paved and used for parking. This item will be placed on the April

50 KPH due to curves and hidden driveways along this stretch. Leslie reviewed
internally with the Engineering staff and they intend to leave the speed limit at 50
KPH.

Funds have been secured to hire a landscape architect to prepare a landscape plan. It was
suggested that the information on heritage plants may be obtained from the Clarington
Museum, the Beech Avenue Heritage Conservation District Plan, and the local nurseries.
Ms. Barrett was advised to secure plans from the landscape architect, obtain the Hall Board's
support and then inform the Heritage Committee.
Inventory Evaluation and Designation - from Survey to Protection
Bert Duclos, Heritage Outreach Consultant, and Sarah Cossette, Culture Services Advisor,
both with the Ministry of Culture, gave a presentation to the Committee on how to evaluate a
property for its cultural heritage significance under the amended Ontario Heritage Act. They
reviewed the steps in heritage conservation process which include identification, listing,
research, site analysis, evaluation, and protection.
The difference between listing on the Municipal Register, the designation of individual
properties under Part IV, and the designation of districts under Part V was outlined. The
importance of preparing a statement of cultural heritage value or interest for individual
designation was stressed. These statements are to include a description of the architectural
design or physical value of the buildings on the property, the historical or associative value
associated with the buildings or the site, and the property's contextual value. The purpose of
the statement is to inform the property owner and the public of the significance of the
property, to explain the heritage values of the property if there was an objection to the
designation, and to guide the review of any requests for future alterations.
The Committee members were provided with an information package which contained an
introductory guide on identifying, protecting and promoting heritage, andi formation sheets
on various topics related to heritage conservation.

Dear Ms. Barrie;
Further to your letter of April 7th, 2009 I am writing to request council's reconsideration of the original
request for consideration as outlined in our correspondence dated January 22,2009. A copy of that letter is
attached for your review. The need for a resolution is a specific requirement of the CRTC ruling.
"The Commission notes that United Way et al.'s procedure for implementing the provision of I & R
services will be coordinated with social service agencies, subject to the organizations' readiness
capabilities and delivery standards. The Commission considers that its approval of United Way et al.'s
roll out plan is not necessary. The procedure requires the formal endorsement of the I & R
services provider from the appropriate level of government for the areas to be served."
The full CRTC ruling can be found at http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/200J/DT2001-475.htm#71
There was considerable discussion and questions at the conclusion of the deputation to the Administration
Committee meeting on April 6th by Cathy Gowland and myself. Unfortunately time did not allow us to
provide a complete overview ofthe 211 service and we were unable to provide complete answers to some
of the questions posed by councillors, in particular around costs, and the benefits that would be provided to
the municipality and its residents.
The value of 211 as a public utility continues to be demonstrated wherever it has been launched. 211 was
recently acknowledged in the Ontario government's Poverty Reduction strategy as a vital tool in reducing
barriers and time for people to access and connecting to the services they need. We recognize that the
passing of the proposed resolution will provide only access to 211 by a limited number ofClarington
residents with the 797 telephone exchange. Council approval will however allow another milestone to be
reached in the objective to provide 211 access for all Ontario by 2011.

Dear Ms. Barrie;
Re: Consent of Council for 211 Service Delivery in Shared Telephone Exchanges
As you may be aware, in 2001, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission
(CRTC) approved the use of 211 dialling for telephone access to community information and referral
services. The current assignments for these N11 phone numbers are:
211 Public Information and Referral Services
311 Non-emergency Municipal Government Services
411 Directory Assistance
511 Weather, Traffic and Travel Information
611 Telco Repair Service
711 Message Relay Service (MRS)
811 Non-urgent Health Care Telephone Triage Service
911 Emergency Services
The 211 system currently under development in Canada and the United States provides a three digit,
24/7 phone number to access free, confidential, multilingual information about community, social,
health and government services. This initiative is led by the United Way of America and the United Way
of CanadalCentraide Canada.
In Ontario, eight 211 call centres will serve the entire province. Northumberland County falls within the
Central East region, which will eventually be served by the Collingwood call centre, operated by
Community Connection. The 211 call centre, which has been operating since November 2005, currently
provides 211 phone service to Simcoe County and the District of Muskoka and is expanding services to
Northumberland County in 2009.
Through our planning process, we have identified telephone exchanges that are shared between
Northumberland County and the Municipality of Clarington. The following table outlines the information
that Bell Canada has provided to Community Connection regarding these telephone exchanges:

We are proposing to Bell Canada that the 797 Garden Hill exchange be routed to the Collingwood call
centre. A resolution by your municipal council is required as the boundary of this telephone exchange
boundary does not correspond with municipal boundaries.
Northumberland County and the Northumberland United Way are working with us as we expand the
211 service. Your timely response to this request would be sincerely appreciated. The proposed
wording for the resolution is as follows:
That the Municipality of Clarington does hereby consent to Community Connection providing
211 service to telephone subscribers in the shared Garden Hill telephone exchange (797), on the
basis that there is no financial obligation on the Municipality of Cia ring ton.
Our work to date has required resolutions from the County of Northumberland, County of Peterborough,
City of Peterborough, City of Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton County.
Please feel free to contact me (705.444.0040 x 2222, agrottoli@communityconnection.net), if you have
any questions or require further information. I have also attached a 211 Fact Sheet and a document
"Who Benefits from 211" for your review and to distribute as you deem appropriate.

REPORT NO.: FND-010-09

BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
1.0 On April 14, 2009, the governments of Canada and Ontario launched the Canada-Ontario
Infrastructure Funding second intake under the communities component.
1.1 For communities with populations under 100,000 the communities component of Build
Canada Fund (BCF) is applicable. Eligible applicants must apply online prior to 5:00 pm on
May 1 S\ 2009.
1.2 The Government of Canada also announced the creation of a new $4 billion Infrastructure
Stimulus Fund (ISF), aimed at getting shovels in the ground for infrastructure projects across
Canada over the next two (2) years. Ontario has agreed to match federal funding.
1.3 The new Recreational Infrastructure Canada (RINC) program was also announced in the
2009 Federal Budget. Application forms are imminent for this category and therefore
recommendations are included in this report.
BUILD CANADA - INTAKE 2
2.0 There are eighteen (18) project categories under Intake Two of the BCF Communities
component including: brownfield redevelopment, collaborative projects, connectivity and
broadband, core national highway system, culture, disaster mitigation, drinking water, green
energy, local and regional airports, local roads, public transit, recreation, shortline railways,
short sea shipping, solid waste management, sport, tourism and wastewater infrastructure.
2.1 The recreation category is the new addition to this program. The application process has
been streamlined for this program. One application can be submitted to this program intake.
PROJECTS MUST BE COMPLETED BY MARCH 31,2011.
2.2 Municipalities will be required to attest that the projects would not have been built over the
next two (2) construction seasons without the federal and provincial funding. Each party
and the municipality must contribute one-third funding.
INFRASTRUCTURE STIMULUS FUND
3.0 The following are eligible project categories under the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund: water
and wastewater, public transit, local roads, disaster mitigation, solid waste management,
brownsfield redevelopment, culture, airport, port and cruiseship, municipal building and
parks and trails.
3.1 There is a very short application form for ISF. Successful proponents will be notified quickly
so that construction may begin. Again, THE PROJECT MUST BE COMPLETED BY
MARCH 31, 2011. Existing asset rehabilitation is the primary focus of the ISF program.
Again, the municipality will be required to attest that the projects would not have been built
over the next two (2) construction seasons without the federal and provincial funding.
3.2 Each Municipality can complete three (3) project applications under this program. The
Municipality's share is one-third of the costs.
REPORT NO.: FND-010-09
PAGE 4
RECREATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE CANADA (RINC)
4.0 This program can include construction of new community recreational facilities and
upgrades to existing recreational facilities.
4.1 The federal contribution is capped at $1 million for each project and cost sharing of
funds at a one-third share. In the 2009 Ontario Provincial budget, a matching community
infrastructure fund of $500 million was also announced. It is expected that applications will
therefore be based on a one-third cost share. This should be officially confirmed within the
next week. If this does not occur as expected and Clarington needs to finance two-thirds
then only the first two (2) priorities would be submitted in order to manage the costs.
4.2 Fewer details are available at this time but they will likely be consistent with the rules for the
Intake 2 and the ISF programs. Announcements are expected within days and the
turnaround time will be very short.
STAFF COMMENTS
5.0 Staff has been anticipating program announcements for the last couple of months. Council
received Report FND-004-09 at it's meeting of February 9th, 2009 entitled "Potential Shovel-
Ready Projects for Federal Funding Opportunities" (Attachment "A").
5.1 Due to the strict project completion deadline of March 31, 2011, some projects on the initial
list are simply not feasible. Additional refinement has also been underway for many of the
other projects.
5.2 Also based on the funding rules, the project cannot currently be incorporated in the 2009
Capital Budgets, as the projects can not have otherwise been built over the next two (2)
construction season.
RECOMMENDATIONS
6.0 Staff has spent a considerable time attempting to get clarity on the differing rules and process
with respect to each of the three (3) funding opportunities in order to maximize the amount of
funding that the Municipality may receive and leverage those funds to the best extent
possible.
6.1 The Build Canada Fund - Intake 2 has the most detailed requirements and must be one
single project. As part of the municipality's energy committee, a detailed energy audit was
recently completed for the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex. The total comprehensive
cost is $1,275,000. The benefit here is that there will be long term benefits in energy
conservation and efficiency. This would assist in the rating of the application as that is one of
the objectives of the Federal and Provincial governments. It is therefore recommended as
the priority project for application under Build Canada - Communities Component - Intake 2.
6.2 The infrastructure Stimulus Fund (ISF) can receive up to three (3) applications. Grouping of
structures or similar/related works is not acceptable. It is recommended that three (3)
applications be submitted as follows:
a) Structure 99077 - Bridge on Hancock Road located 230m south of Nash Road in
Courtice: This bridge is in poor structural condition and has a substandard deck width of
REPORT NO.: FND-010-09
PAGE 5
5.5m. This structure is recommended for replacement and it is also recommended that
the structure be extended to accommodate future growth in the area. Estimated
replacement cost is $890,000.
b) Concession Road 6 - Old Scugog Road to Acres Road (5.8 km): Major rural upgrade of
high volume high float road to hot mix asphalt road including structure repair and safety
improvements. Estimated cost is $2,480,000.
c) Concession Road 6 - Acres Road to Highway 35/115 (6.2 km): Major rural upgrade of
high volume high float road to hot mix asphalt road including structure repair and safety
improvements. Estimated cost is $2,620,000.
6.3 The Recreational Infrastructure Canada fund as mentioned is intended to have provincial
matching funds but it has not.been formally announced. Staff is therefore proposing three (3)
projects for submission. No details are available at this time.
a) The first priority would be the Darlington Sports Complex arena floor concrete pad
replacement at a cost of $400,000. This was not included in the existing approved
project at DSC due to funding limitations.
b) The second priority under "RINC" is the roof replacement and refrigeration plant
improvements at the Newcastle Memorial Arena at a cost of $425,000.
c) The third priority is the Pad A east seating and dressing room renovation at the Garnet B.
Rickard Recreation Complex at a cost of $500,000.
6.4 In all, over the three (3) funding programs, Clarington will be applying for seven (7) different
projects. The Clarington portion of the total costs, if all applications were approved, is
$2,863,333. The breakdown of the proposed funding sources are identified in the
recommendations. It is unlikely, however, that we will be successful in all seven (7) project
applications so the cost to Clarington ultimately will be somewhat lower than $2,863,333.
6.5 The commitment by Clarington is a substantial one and does result in a significant draw on
the General Municipal Reserve Fund ($2,513,334) in particular. However, the opportunity for
this level of funding from upper level governments is rare and we are leveraging it to the
greatest extent possible. This may reduce Council flexibility for the near future. Council can
certainly delete any projects from those recommended if they wish to limit the total impact.
6.6 Subject to Council approval of this report, staff will undertake all necessary steps to submit all
required documentation in support of our funding requests.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
1,0 On January 27,2009, the Honourable Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance,
presented the Federal Government's 2009 Budget.
1.1 The Federal Government's 2009 Budget was advanced'ahead of its usual
schedule by one month in response to the Opposition Parties coalition to bring
down the government illustrating their discord with the Fall Economic Statement
presented on November 27, 2008. The Opposition Parties coalition was stopped
with the prorogation of Parliament.
1.2 The Federal Government budget has an Economic Action Plan comprised of five
(5) main components to address the current economic challenges felt by the
residents, businesses and communities across Canada by creating a deficit
budget through stimulus funding and tax measures.
1,3 Federal and provincial governments may produce deficit budgets but
municipalities are not legally permitted to do so.
1.4 The Federal Government forecasts a balanced budget by 2013-2014.
2.0 The Federal Economic Action Plan components are:
2.1 Improving Access to Financing and Strengthening Canada's Financial System.
Improve financial access for consumers and to allow businesses to obtain the
financing needed to invest, grow and create jobs.
2.2 Action to Help Canadians and Stimulate Spending.
- Assist workers directly affected by the economic downturn with enhancements to
Employment Insurance and funding for skills and training.
Proposes personal income tax relief over 2008-09 and the next 5 fiscal years for
all Canadian taxpayers.
Doubling the tax relief provided by the Working Income Tax Benefit to make work
more financially attractive for low-income Canadians.
2.3 Action to Stimulate Housing Construction.
Funding to build quality housing, to stimulate construction and enhance energy
efficiency by way of a renovation tax credit of up to $1,350 to Canadian families,
funding for energy retrofits, investments in social housing to support low-income
Canadians, and low-cost loans to municipalities for housing-related
infrastructure.
REPORT NO.: FND-004-09
PAGE 3
2.4 Immediate Action to Build Infrastructure.
Accelerating and expanding the infrastructure funding over 2 years for the
construction and repair of roads, bridges, small craft harbours, broadband
internet access, electronic health records, laboratories and border crossings.
This will support economic growth and employment this year and next.
2.5 Action to Support Businesses and Communities.
Addressing short-term economic challenges facing businesses, regions and
communities as a result of the global economic crisis and helping them for long-
term competitiveness.
3.0 The Immediate Action to Build Infrastructure component of the Economic Action
Plan in the 2009 budget is the most relevant for municipalities and focuses on
stimulating growth and employment by investing in 4 types of infrastructure
projects.
3.1 The Federal Government's investments in the 4 types of infrastructure projects
are:
3.1.1 Provincial, Territorial and Municipal Infrastructure
Building on pervious infrastructure commitments, Budget 2009 invests in a more
modern and greener infrastructure by:
Establishing a two-year, $4 billion Infrastructure Stimulus Fund that will provide
funding to renew infrastructure.
Providing $1 billion over five years for the Green Infrastructure Fund to support
projects such as sustainable energy.
Providing $500 million over two years to build and renew community recreation
facilities across Canada.
Accelerating up to $1 billion in payments over two years under the Provincial-
Territorial Base Funding Initiative to expedite "ready-to-go" infrastructure projects
Providing up to $500 million over the next two years for infrastructure projects is
small communities.
3.1.2 First Nations Infrastructure
Supporting 2 year projects aimed at constructing and renewal of schools, water
and critical community services.
3.1.3 Knowledge Infrastructure
Repairing, retrofitting and expanding facilities at post-secondary institutions,
building a new world-class research facility at Waterloo, Ontario, maintaining and
upgrading key research facilities in Canada, expanding the health information
systems such as the greater use of electronic health records and improving the
broadband services in rural communities in Canada.
REPORT NO.: FND-004-09
PAGE 4
3.1.4 Federallnfrastructure
Repairing and improving federal infrastructure such as passenger rail services,
bridges and highways, refurbishing small craft harbours, restoring and improving
accessibility to federally owned buildings and improving efficiency of border
crossings.
COMMENTS:
4.0 The 2009 Federal budget has the intention of releasing billions of dollars for all
levels of government - provincial, regional, counties, territorial and municipal for
infrastructure purposes as well as tax measures for the Canadian residents and
other measures for the construction and business entities across Canada.
However, concerns are being raised pertaining to procedures and process where
information is unclear.
4.1 The Federal budget has put restrictions on the number and type of municipal
projects that will be submitted. As the infrastructure funding is available for a 2
year period, some municipal infrastructure projects expand longer than 2 years
such as construction of bridges and roads. It is unclear when projects must be
completed.
4.2 In the short term period (2 years infrastructure projects), there will be a high
competition among all the levels of government competing for similar services
such as consultants, engineering services and contractors which may cause
increases in costs when tenders are awarded for all the levels of government.
This has occurred in the past when major infrastructure funding was available.
The Municipality would most likely be responsible for the increase in costs.
4.3 It's difficult for municipalities to plan its list of "ready-to-go" or "shovel-ready"
projects when the details are not available as to what is meant by "ready-to-go"
projects. As well, many municipalities have passed or are in the process of
passing their 2009 budgets. Clarington would need to use Reserve Funds to
finance its anticipated one third contribution.
4.4 Municipalities are anxiously waiting for the Federal Government to provide the
infrastructure project criteria, application guidelines, application due dates,
funding formula, and financial reporting so they may take advantage of these
new funding opportunities.
4.5 While Clarington is anxious to take advantage of all funding opportunities, a
competitive application based process has the potential to cause lengthy delays
and cost the Municipality funds in preparing fully supported applications with no
guarantee of a successful outcome.
REPORT NO.: FND-004.09
PAGE 5
4.6 A hidden cost of these programs that is worthy of note, along with application
costs, are significant internal staff costs. There are significant reporting
requirements throughout the process that cause a strain on burdened resources
already reporting on a regular basis for annual Federal Gas tax funding, the
Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative and the Investing in Ontario Act
Funding.
4.7 It is hoped that the Federal Government will not be too restrictive in its
infrastructure guidelines especially in the following areas:
eligibility of project criteria,
- the application process (from previous experience, municipalities had to have
environmental assessment studies, engineer's reports, and other reports
completed or were part of the process which is costly if outsourcing is required),
- funding access paid in advance (in the past, municipalities incurred the costs first
then applied at various stages through completion of several reports for the
federal and/or provincial share of the project which may cause municipal cash
flow issues)
SUMMARY:
5.0 Staff have reviewed their budget and forecasts to put together a list of "shovel-
ready" projects for Council's information purposes. Please refer to Attachment
"A" for the list of projects. Any queries with respect to specific project should be
directed to the appropriate department head.
5.1 Staff will report back to Councll once there are more details on the Federal
government's infrastructure project funding investments. At that time, staff will
provide recommendations for Council's consideration based on the detailed
project criteria.

1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 At the General Purpose and Administration Committee meeting of March 30th,
Report CSD-007 -09 (copy attached as Attachment #1) was reviewed by Council
and referred back to Community Services Staff with the following direction:
1.1.1 THAT Report CSD-007 -09 be referred back to staff for clarification on the
merits of the event; and
1.1.2 THAT staff report back to the Committee with their findings at the General
Purpose and Administration meeting scheduled for April 20, 2009.
1.2 As directed by Council, on March 31st Community Services staff met with
representatives of the Bowmanville Rotary Club to obtain further information in
regard to the 2009 Rotary Ribfest event which is scheduled to be a three day
event June 12-14, 2009.
2.0 DISCUSSION
2.1 The initial Bowmanville Rotary Ribfest was held June 27 -July 1 st, 2008. This was
a five day event that was held in conjunction with the Bowmanville 150th
Anniversary Celebration. While the event attendance was very good, particularly
for a first time event, the event in 2008 did result in a deficit of approximately
$29,000.
2.2 While 2008 was the first "Ribfest event" in Clarington, many other communities
across Ontario enjoy an annual Rotary Ribfest event which does result in a net
profit that is ultimately re-invested back into the local community.
2.3 The Bowmanville Rotary Club has provided a proposed budget for the 2009
Rotary Ribfest which would result in a $21,000 surplus (Attachment #2). The
budget provided assumes the Municipality would be providing the requested
services at no cost. Any requested services that are not approved by Council
will be an increase to the 2009 event costs and have an impact on the projected
surplus.
2.4 For the 2009 event, the Rotary Club have retained six "ribbers" and various other
food and merchandise vendors. Each of the vendors is required to pay a pre-
negotiated fee to the Rotary Club for participation in the event. The fee paid by
each "ribber" ($1,500 - 2009) has increased by $500 for the 2009 event as a
result of the demonstrated success of the 2008 event.
ADDENDUM TO REPORT NO.: CSD-007-09
PAGE 3
2.5 In return for in-kind services provided by the Municipality, the Municipality will be
recognized as a Platinum Level Sponsor (Attachment #3).
2.6 Any proceeds as a result of this event will allow the Rotary Club to continue to
provide funding to the various initiatives currently supported by the Rotary Club
of Bowmanville.
3.0 CONCLUSION
3.1 The 2008 Rotary Ribfest was a very successful event which included attractions
for the entire family. The event provided exposure for local talent with the
entertainment stage and to community groups and vendors through the booths
and displays.
3.2 It should be noted that the Bowmanville Rotary Club does not qualify for a
Community Grant as the program is not intended to provide funding to
organizations that make donations.
3.3 Queries with respect to departmental comments and estimates etc. should be
referred to the appropriate department.

1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 Council received correspondence from Wayne Routly, Sponsorship Chair,
Bowmanville Rotary Club, announcing that the Club would be hosting the 2nd
Annual Rotary Ribfest event June 12 -14, 2009, at the Garnet B. Rickard Playing
Fields. The Rotary Club further requested financial assistance with costs
associated with the rental of the parking lot and playing fields as well as costs
associated with advertising in Clarington tourism publications (Attachment # 1).
This correspondence was referred to staff.
1.2 The initial Rotary Ribfest was held June 27 to July 1, 2008, and attracted over
27,000 guests for five days of family friendly fun and entertainment, which
included local musicians, vendors and midway rides for the children.
2.0 COMMENTS
2.1 Staff representatives from Operations, Emergency Services, Communications &
Tourism and Community Services met with representatives of the Bowmanville
Rotary Club on February 1 th to review their needs to facilitate the proposed 2nd
Annual Rotary Ribfest. Rotary Club representatives identified areas where the
Municipality could supply support and services to assist the Rotary Club.
2.2 Staff subsequently investigated and identified the associated costs with providing
the services/facilities requested.
2.3 The following are the facilities and services which the Municipality has been
requested to provide and the costs associated with providing these services.
June 12-15 (includes Y:z day set up and full
da take down
$840 Although the west diamond is not required for
the event, the event would require this
diamond to be unavailable for rental
N/C
$2,000 Staff to assist with the pick-up of litter and the
emptying of garbage containers. This event
is not a budgeted community event and would
require staff overtime for the Operations
De artment.
REPORT NO.: CSD-007-09

Waste Disposal The Rotary Club has been provided with
contact information for the waste disposal
contractor to explore possible event
sponsorship.
Parking Lot N/C For the 2008 event staff worked with the
(Community Services) Rotary Club to reconfigure the set up of ribber
vehicles to minimize the impact on the
parking lot. Ribbers vehicles are confined to
the north row of the parking lot and do not
neqatively impact on other parkinq lot users.
Access to Water N/C The Ribbers require water at their food
(Community Services) stations to satisfy health regulations. There is
a hydrant adjacent to the site which could
accommodate this need. The Rotary Club
would be required to apply to the Region of
Durham for a permit to connect to the hydrant
and the Emergency Services Department
would provide the required hoses for the
duration of the event to carry the water to the
food stations.
Access to Electricity $2,790 In 2008, the Emergency Services Department
(Emergency Services) provided (at the last minute) the loan of a
generator when the organizers were not able
to access electrical power as they had
planned. This generator was purchased as
part of the Y2K contingency plans and
subsequently assigned as a back up power
source for the municipal emergency
evacuation centres. As the generator was
not originally intended to be loaned out to
community events, staff are requesting
direction from Council as to the suitability of
offering the use of the generator for this event
and if there should be a fee assigned to such
use.
Staff has determined the cost of renting a
similar generator from United Rental to be
$930.00 per day plus taxes. Ribfest would
require a three day rental.
Promotional Support $600 The organizers of Ribfest had requested
(Corporate Services) colour assistance with the promotion of the event
$480 b/w through the various Clarington tourism
pu blications.
Staff are able to provide at no cost (space
permittinq)

Disposal of Fryer Grease N/C The grease used in the on site fryers must be
(Community Services) replaced periodically throughout the
weekend. The organizers have requested
help in disposing of this grease.
The Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex
has capacity to store and recycle food grease

3.0 CONCLUSION
3.1 The 2008 Rotary Ribfest was a very successful event which included attractions
for the entire family. The event provided exposure for local talent with the
entertainment stage and to community groups and vendors through the booths
and displays.
3.2 It should be noted that the Bowmanville Rotary Club does not qualify for a
Community Grant as the program is not intended to provide funding to
organizations that make donations.
3.3 Queries with respect to departmental comments and estimates etc. should be
referred to the appropriate department.

SONfest
A Catholic Youth Conference

A Manual

Local Organizing

Note: This SONfest manual is an abbreviated version of the
official manual designed to give to those who might be
interested in helping out a preliminary look at the needs and
requirements for organizing the event. Thank you for your
interest!
Overview:
SONfest is a three day outdoor Catholic youth festival developed by the Vocations,
Evangelization & Youth Office (VEYO) of the Diocese of Peterborough in order to provide an
opportunity for youth & young adults to get "SPIRIT FILLED and FIRED UP". This is
accomplished through a planned program of Christian music, relevant presentations & talks, peer
discussions, various devotions and liturgies of the Church and social time for youth from across
the Diocese to connect with each other. VEYO volunteers, under the direction of the youth office
staff & director, lead through the program providing energy, enthusiasm and encouragement to
young people to follow a Christian life.
The program is developed to appeal to 16 to 25-year-old youth from any diocese; although
younger and older people have registered in the past. The expected number of participants ranges
from 200 - 300 including the pilgrims, leaders, volunteers, program performers & speakers. The
event is usually held on the last weekend of July. The location is determined by the parish
hosting the festival.
The VEYO is responsible for planning and carrying out the program, training the leaders, and
oversees all other aspects of the planning. The host parish provides the site, water & electric
utilities, and recruits a local committee of volunteer organizers to plan and carry out the logistics
of the event.
Site Requirements:

o Camping areas for girls, boys, and families

Diocese of Peterborough
To Whom It May Concern:
With this letter I wish to give a brief description of the nature and purpose of SONfest, the annual youth
conference of the Diocese of Peter borough, Ontario.
Under the auspices of the diocesan Office for Vocations, Evangelization and Youth (VEYO), its director, staff
and numerous volunteers, SONfest has become since its inception in 2004 the official youth conference /
festival of our Diocese. It is modeled after the famous World Youth Days of the Catholic Church which,
beginning under the late Pope John Paul II and continuing under the present Holy Father, have drawn together
hundreds of thousands of young people from around the world for a time of celebration, study and prayer. You
may recall the tremendous impact World Youth Day had not just on youth, but on the whole of Canada when it
took place in Toronto in 2002. In a similar fashion SONfest seeks to reach youth and young adults from our
Diocese and invite them to discover, explore and celebrate their Catholic faith in a setting, mostly outdoor,
which can accommodate a large number of people and which is fitting for a younger audience.
Over the last five years SONfest has developed into a 3-day event offering guest speakers, discussions,
conferences, prayer, religious services, presentations, lots of music and more. It has each time attracted a few
hundred youth and young adults between the ages of 14 and 30 from the 40 parishes of the Diocese of
Peterborough, which covers a rather large area between Courtice and Brighton in the south and Powassan and
Parry Sound in the north. As a matter of fact, youth have come to SONfest also from outside the geographic
area of the diocese and, indeed, anyone is welcome to attend no matter what age, religion or home town. This
year's event will take place on the grounds of Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School in Courtice from August
14th to 16th and is hosted by St. Therese Parish in Courtice.
Since SONfest is an event of relatively large proportions, the Diocese has taken all necessary precautions to
make sure that the conference is properly prepared, well organized and safe and does not present any danger or
cause any inconvenience to either those who attend or to those who live nearby. After all, it is part of the
purpose of SONfest to recognize and show the positive effects the Christian faith can and should have on youth
and through them on the larger community.
On behalf of the youth who will attend SON fest and, indeed, on behalf of the Diocese of Peterborough I wish to
thank you for allowing the event to take place in your community and for offering your support and assistance.
If you have any questions or need more information, please contact Father Norbert, Director of the Youth
Office (VEYO), at 705.749.0330 or through youtM7::vevopeterboro.org.
Sincerely in Christ,
~c:~ b-<- ~

REFLECTION
At the end of Luke's gospel, the disciples
were still trying to understand what
happened to Jesus, and Jesus was still
trying to help them figure it out.
~ ~ Following his resurrection, Jesus
appeared to the disciples again.
They still had a hard time
recognizing him and figuring out if
he was a ghost. To help them know
he was really there with them, Jesus ate a piece of fish
and asked the disciples to go out into the world to tell
others the Good News. The early Church of Luke's
community had the same problem, and much of Luke's
writing was intended to help these new Christians see
that the resurrection was indeed real. As he did at the
Last Supper Jesus once again broke bread with the
disciples and offered them his body.
VOCATION VIEWS
What could convince someone to turn to
God? That God became man and is the
sacrifice that takes our sins away. Let us
pray - Lord Jesus, make Your word plain
to us and set our hearts on fire with love
when You speak. Enable us to respond to
the call to be witnesses of Your love.

MEMO
TO: Mayor Abernethy and Members of Council
FROM: Len Creamer
DATE: 23 April 2009
RE: Refreshment Vehicle Licence Application
98 King Street West Bowmanville
At the GPA meeting on Monday April 20th, the Committee referred the delegation
of Mr. Domenic Forsellino to the next meeting of Council for a decision
concerning an Application for a Refreshment Vehicle Licence. Mr. Forsellino has
requested that Council overturn the decision of staff to refuse to licence their
operation.
The Forsellinos have applied to place a "hot dog cart" in the parking lot on the
East side of their property at 98 King Street West in Bowmanville. The proposed
location is located within the required 60 metre setback for refreshment vehicles
as specified in section 13(a) of Clarington By-law 2004-114 as shown in the
attached map.
The 60 metre setback is an issue for many Applicants. It is not unusual for staff
to have to send an Applicant back to find a different location because either the
proposed site does not meet the Zoning requirements or because it is too close
to an existing eating establishment.
Unlike the majority of applicants the Forsellinos own the land upon which they
are hoping to set up the cart. A search of the licencing records shows that a
similar situation was dealt with in 2004 when a merchant at 34 King Ave East in
Newcastle applied to set up a chip truck in the laneway on the east side of his
eating establishment. The matter was brought to Council at the time for
consideration.
After the Applicant, Mr. Garrod, spoke to Council the licence was issued with the
restriction that the owner would be allowed to remain on his property at 34 King
Ave but had to move the vehicle to the rear (north end) of the property thus
placing it more than 60 metres away from the adjoining business to the east
which was also an eating establishment. Normal practice would have required
the vehicle to be at least 60 metres away from any other eating establishment.
CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON
40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L 1C 3A6 T (905)623-3379 F (905)623-6506
The proposed hot dog cart is not an accessory use to any business which the
The proposed hot dog cart is not an accessory use to any business which the
Forsellinos operate on their lot. They are the landlords and rent out the building
to other businesses.
Staff have no objection with the licence being issued to the Forsellinos at this
location with certain conditions. The Municipal Act permits Council to impose
special conditions on the issuance of a licence if Council deems it appropriate.
Staff recommend that, as a condition of obtaining and continuing to hold a
Refreshment Vehicle Licence for the lot at 98 King Street West Bowmanville;
1. they annually obtain the written agreement of those eating establishments
located within the 60 metre setback, and
2. in the event of an objection from either neighbouring owner or their
successor if either business is sold, the licence will not be renewed

· PM I 0 dust monitoring data which included one sample exceeding allowable limits
from the sampler located on Cedar Crest and seven samples exceeding allowable
limits from the sampler located at Hutton Transport. The exceedances from the
Hutton Transport sampler were likely caused by its proximity to quarry operations.
The location of the sampler is no longer appropriate because the operation of the
quarry has been moving to the east and now the sampler is too close to quarry
operations and also because the sampler is not located at the boundary of the
property. The Ministry of the Environment (MOE) has approved the relocation of
the sampler to an adequate location northeast of Hutton Transport.

ST. MARYS COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMITTEE
ANNUAL REPORT - 2008
Conclusion
While St. Marys operations results in off site impacts, most are below regulatory
requirements. St. Marys continues to work to reduce these impacts and the
Community Relations Committee anticipates that St. Marys performance will continue
to improve over time.
St. Marys Community Relations Committee is working effectively and ensures an
opportunity for information sharing and dialogue between St. Marys and its
neighbours.
The Community Relations Committee recommends that the Community Relations
Committee continue to meet on a quarterly basis.
