THAT the minutes of a regular meeting of Council held on November 11, 1996, be approved. .. "CARRIED" PUBLIC MEETING .. .. A public meeting was held for the purpose of passing By-law 96-197, being a by-law to close and convey the unopened portion of King Street in the Hamlet of Kendal, former Clarke Township, described as Part 2, Plan 40R-14432. There was no one present to address Council with respect to this matter. ... ... ... Council Minutes DELEGATIONS .~;~ ... - 2 - November 25, 1996 .. Frank Simpson and Neil Smith appeared before Council on behalf of the Tyrone Community Centre to introduce the proposed Expansion Program for Tyrone Park. Mr. Simpson explained the history of the Tyrone Community Centre as well as the present and anticipated usage of the park. He outlined some problems being encountered with the playground being located too close to the parking lot, growing population with increasing demands on the facilities, soccer pitch conflicting with the senior ball diamond during ball games, insufficient parking and no area for sports such as inline skating and basketball. The Association has devised a plan for improvements to the park with a phased implementation. The group is targeting a starting date of 1997. Mr. Simpson requested that Council provide financial support as the fundraising in Phase I will be difficult. ... .. .. .. The Hon. Michael Starr, P.c., Honourary President and Fred Ball, Oshawa District Council, addressed Council with respect to recent and future development at Camp Samac. The Hon. Michael Starr stated that Camp Samac is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and renovations of the buildings and property is being undertaken. Fred Ball, Chairman, Campaign Committee, requested that Council participate in the renovation of the camp. He stated that the facilities are used by young people throughout Durham Region, with 50% of the patrons being from Oshawa and the remainder from Whitby and Clarington. ... .. ..... David Ashcroft, President, Port Darlington Community Association, Group 5, Box 36, RR #2, Bowmanville, LIC 3K3, addressed Council with respect to Report WD-39-96 (Item #16 of Report #1). He questioned that if the Municipality should decline acquisition of the Graham and Bowmanville Creek Harbour Mouths, will the community be held at ransom in the future by whomever does acquire the properties as this area has the potential to be a gem in the crown of the Municipality. The Association asks that the Council study the issue very carefully while accumulating input from private individuals and organizations within the community as well as acquiring expertise from other municipalities that have acquired similar properties. .. .. .. Erskine Duncan, 27 Boulton Street, RR #8, Newcastle, LlB lL9, advised prior to the meeting that he would not be in attendance. .. Lynda MacGregor, 40 Boulton Street, RR #8, Newcastle, LIB lL9, addressed Council on behalf of the Bondhead Community Association. She indicated that the Association understands the recommendations contained in Report WD-39-96 (Item #16 of Report #1), but questioned whether the Municipality is willing to be pro-active and commit to obtaining the harbour mouths at this time. The Association strongly supports the acquisition of the lands but not the "all or nothing" attitude. If it is possible to acquire one of the harbour mouths, the Association would like Council to take that option. Mrs. MacGregor stated that this is a golden opportunity to demonstrate the Municipality's support of obtaining waterfront property as is outlined in the Official Plan. It may be necessary to sort out the issue of access once the property is acquired. The Association is urging that Council take a more positive stand and commit to acquiring these lands. .. .. ...

He advised Council that the initiative put forth by the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance is about the creation of jobs. This is still a work in progress and stressed that Clarington's support in principle is vitally important. Linda Gasser, P.O. Box 379, Orono, LOB 1MO, addressed Council with respect to Report CD-56-96 (Item #10 of Report #1). Mrs. Gasser questioned the appointment of Councillor Mary Novak to the Animal Control Advisory Committee when in fact, Councillors Pingle and Scott were more in support of the formation of the Committee. She stated that Council and staff should make available to the Committee the rules and protocol which will be followed during the meetings so that the Committee is not surprised by any procedural matters. Mrs. Gasser also addressed Report CD-57-96 (Item #11 of Report #1). She questioned the reasoning behind selling dog licences door-to-door and requested that the report be referred to the Animal Advisory Committee for additional input. Pauline Storks, 11 King Street East, Newcastle, LlB 1H3, advised prior to the meeting that she would not be in attendance. David Lawson, 111 Cedarcrest Beach Road, Box 44, Bowmanville, LlC 3K3, addressed Council with respect to Report WD-39-96 (Item #16 of Report #1). Mr. Lawson indicated that along the north shore of Lake Ontario, there are in excess of 400 harbours and piers, some of which municipalities have improved and secured. He advised that people travel from afar to enjoy the excellent recreational opportunities available at the harbours located in Durham Region. Mr. Lawson stated that Report WD-39-96 is written in a negative tone and requested that the report be reconsidered and Council consider the purchase of the breakwaters to be an opportunity rather than a responsibility to the Municipality. He suggested that Council consider the purchase of the Graham Harbour Mouth separate from the Bowmnville Harbour Mouth and to in fact use the Graham Harbour Mouth as a stepping stone to purchasing the Bowmanville Harbour Mouth. Don Welsh, RR #4,4280 Mearns Avenue, Bowmanville, L1C 3K5, addressed Council on behalf of the Older Adults Committee with respect to Report ADMIN-33-96 (Report #2). Mr. Welsh indicated the Committee's concurrence with the recommendations contained in the report, in particular Council's reaffirmation of its commitment to the Seniors' Centre. Gerard Gervais, Dekkema Gervais Development Corporation, Parkway Corporate Centre, 100 Allstate Parkway, Suite 501, Markham, L3R 6H3, addressed Council with respect to Report ADMIN-33-96 (Report #2). Mr. Gervais indicated that he could support the recommendations contained in the report if Council amended them slightly to refer only to the Scugog Street Site. He stated that Vanstone Mills Inc. is the holder of property fronting onto King Street and he is confident that the building which has been designed for the Scugog Street location could be modified to fit on this other piece of property. Council Minutes DELEGATIONS COMMUNICATIONS .. - 4 - November 25, 1996 .. Victoria Gerling, Vice-Chairman of the Board, Bowmanville Memorial Hospital, 47 Liberty St. S., Bowmanville, LlC 2N4, addressed Council on behalf of Steve Wilson, with respect to Report TR-88-96 (Item #13 of Report #1). She requested that Council reconsider the recommendations put forth as Memorial Hospital Bowmanville tendered to lease space in the Courtice Community Complex based on the need for extra space for family physicians within the Municipality. She stated that the presence of physicians in this area would assist all ages and the hospital is prepared to enter into a 10 year lease. The Municipality would benefit from this as the tender being recommended for acceptance does not offer service to all residents and could, in fact, result in a failed commercial enterprise. Ms. Gerling questioned whether there was a level playing field for all tender submissions. ... ... .. ... Sgt.

SAGA, the GRCA, and a generous gant from Canada Trust - Friends of the Environment Foundation. we were able to advertise this event in all our local papers. both in Durham and Northumberland, which resulted in an excellent turnout at the Forum. As well. we were able to waive the registration fee for several students and young adults who wished to attend. but would not otherwise have been able to do so. The success of the Forum can best be assessed by the fact that at the end of the day, nearly 35 people signed up for a new Friends of the Ganaraska (FOG)" Steering Committee, which will investigate the next phase in this very important process - how to protect the Ganaraska Forest and its watershed in these times of crastic cutbacks, and investigate all alternate oppportunities for its preservation. .. .. .. .. - Once again, we thank you for your ongoing support in this endeavour.

OIT A W A - The Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB) has published the latest edition of its information bulletin, the Radiation Monitor, showing the public radiation exposures from the Pickering and Darlington nuclear generating stations. .. .. The most recent AECB Radiation Monitor shows that, for the three-month period from July 1 to September 30 1996, the public radiation doses'" due to the operation of the Darlington and Pickering stations were 1.3 and 4.2 microsieverts, respectively. .. These doses are for the most exposed persons, typically those living just outside the station boundary. Most persons in the region would have received less, since radiation doses decrease significantly as the distance from the stations increases. .. .. The Radiation Monitor is produced every three months and published. in local newspapers in the Durham region. Each edition contains a graphic presentation of the radiation doses due to the emissions from the stations, as compared to the doses from other sources such as natural background radiation, the proposed new legal limit, and the radiation from a typical X-ray. .. ..

Persons living midway between the twO' stations would therefore receive less than the doser indicated for either of the stations. Less than 1% of the radiation dose received from the- stations was due to liquid emissions, while the remainder was a result of airborne emissions. The radiation doses due to emissions are for the most exposed persons living near the station. They would typically apply to persons living just outside the station boundary who are at their residences 24 hours a day, who drink local water and milk, and eat local fish and produce. The doses were calculated using actual data from routine analysis of air. water, milk, fish and v~etation samples, as well as station emission data.

News Release Communique Nav ZS - Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing Minlstere de$ Affaires munlclpales et du Logement 1/ 23 AH '96 ~ Ontario it.. r ,~ ,'!~ ~~~1[ ri~ ~~~ uti .. Release: November 21, 1996 - LEACH INTRODUCES TENANT PROTECTION ACT - Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing AI Leach today introduced legislation to refonn Ontario's system of rent regulation, maintain tenant protection, improve the maintenance of rental buildings, and set the stage for the construction of new rental housing in the province. ... - .Our objective is to protect tenants, while fixing the problems with the current rent control system; leach told the legislature. .Poor maintenance is a chronic problem for tenants. Many tenants are forced to live in housing that is crumbling and requires billions of doUars in repairs: - .. The Tenant Protection Act combines six pieces of legislation: the Rent Control Act, the Landlord and Tenant Act, the Rental Housing Protection Act, the Municipal Amendment Act, the Residents' Rights Act, and the Land Lease Statute Law Amendment Ad. .. Under the Act, tenants will continue to be protected from unfair rent increases by the rent control guideline which will remain at 2.8 per cent in 1997, the lowest level in the history of rent regulation. Tenants will continue to be protected from arbitrary eviction, and be able to challenge illegal rent increases and to apply for rent reductions. .. .. The Act includes a new maximum fine of $50,000 for landlords convicted of harassing . tenants. The Act also toughens maintenance provisions, and penalizes landlords up to $100,000 for failing to comply with a work order. Tenants will be fully protected as long as they live in their apartment. The legislation will allow landlords to negotiate a new rent for an apartment after the tenant moves out and the apartment is vacant. .. .. .This legislation represents a crucial step in creating a climate where people will invest in rental real estate," Leach said. "We must help to increase the" supply of rental housing by creating a new, balanced system of rent regulation that works for tenants, landlords and the taxpayers of Ontario." - - ._.2 - - - -2- .. The Act also moves landlord and tenant disputes out of the courts and creates a new, less formal system of adjudication called the Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal. "The tribunal will streamline the process, allowing disputes between landlords and tenants to be settled quickly in a forum where everyone can feel comfortable," Leach said. lilt will also free up our courts to concentrate on dealing with serious crimes.. ... .. legislative hearings on the Tenant Protection Act are expected to be held early in 1997. .. -30- ..

At the end of August, we launched our new web site (http://www.fcm.ca). It is an excellent communications tool for disseminating information about FCM policies, the Board of Directors, the International Office, etc. I am sure that you will find it useful and informative. THe National Board of Directors met in Whitehorse September 5 - 7. The meetings were very productive. Among the items we dealt with was our Strategic Plan and Mission Statement. Both involved the whole .Board and provided an opportunity to focus on what we do as an organization. I launched the Presidents' Caucus in Whitehorse, which brought together member ProvinciallTerritorial Association Presidents to discuss issues of mutual concern. All of the. Presidents serve on the FCMBoard; but we have not had a forum by which they could share ideas and work collectively on issues. Our first meeting resulted ina press release and Canadian Press Report on the proposed second National Infrastructure Program. A concerted effort was launched to emphasize to the ProvinciallTerritorial governments that the Infrastructure Program is essentiaL We must build on the successes of the first program. .It created needed jobs and addressed critical infrastructure requirements. I intend to hold these meetings at every Board meeting with a different President responsible for the agenda and chairing the meeting. Executive Directors of the Associations will also participate in the discussions. The first meeting of the Northern Forum v~as held in Whitehorse, in which Board members representing northem communities met to discuss issues unique to their areas and provide direct input at the Board meeting. .. ./2 24, rue Clarence Streer, Ottawa, Ontario KIN 5P3 Telephone/Telephone: (613) 241-5221.

"Development charges will still allow municipalities to build the roads, water and sewer systems, recreation centres and libraries that new residents and new businesses have the right to expect," said Leach. "But people who are saving to buy a new home shouldn't be expected to pick up the entire tab for goldplatedservices like museums and art galleries. Those are facilities that serve all of the residents of the community, and they should all pay for them, Over time, when they can afford them. " Studies have shown that development charges can account for as much as $20.000 of the cost of a new $160.000 home. The new legislation is aimed at making municipal council decisions more accountable and . more cost-effective. The scope of eligible services has been reduced. Municipalities will no longer be able to impose development charges for facilities such as city halls, museums, or theatres. In addition. municipal councils will be required to contribute 10 per cent of the costs of new roads, water and sewer systems, and 30 per cent of the costs of facilities such as libraries and recreation centres. Background studies will also have to show the I01'1g~term capital and operating costs for all services and facilities the municipality is considering for development charges.. The new legislation also aims at encouraging industrial growth. Any-expansion of up to 50 per cent of an industry's gross floor area-will be exempt from development charges. , 12 .. , .. - 2 - .. "This new Act gives us a workable balance between what the development industry needs, what municipalities need, and what new residents and new businesses have the right to expect," Leach said. "The legislation will bring greater fairness to the system, create jobs in the construction industry, and help to contain the costs of constructing new homes. And it will still give municipalities the flexibility to provide a wide range of services and facilities needed for new residential and industrial development in their corrUllunities." ... ... The Develop~nelU Charges Act, 1996, is the result of a year-long government review of the existing DCA, which gives municipalities the right to impose charges on developers to help pay for the new services and infrastructure needed for growth to occur. ..

The New Development Charges Act Introduces Long O\-'erdue .Fairness, says VDI .. The new Development Charges Act was released in the Legislature today and is a major improvement over its predecessor which was enacted in 1989. The Urban Development Institute, as the voice of the land development industry, strongly supports the Government's initiative touting it as a new and fairer direction for the funding of growth related services and facil\tics in Ontario. - .. "Development charge.s have been a significant barrier to housing affordability and economic development for several years and this Act re-introduces the long overdue fairness that we have been seeking, II said Stephen Kaiser, President of the Urban Development Institute. Development charges are simply another component in the construction of new house and business. just like bricks and mortar, and they deny marly Ontario families the joys of home ownership and represent a huge stumbling block to the creation of jobs. .. .. Almost 25 percent of the cost of an average townhouse here in the GTA is comprised of taxes, fees and charges, the bulk of which is the combined development charge paid to local and regional municipali.ties and school boards. A new 100,000 square foot manufacturing plant can trigger as much as $600,000 in development charges. - .. VOl says that the existing system perpetuates a level of extravagance which we cannol afford because monumental town halls, luxurious recreation centres and expensive cultural facilities are provided virtually free of charge by the development community and new homcbuyers. "The real beneficiary of the new Act will be the existing taxpayers of Ontario who have been forced to operate and maintain these extravagant facilitie.s forever; a huge burden which is not considered at the time they are provided by our industry. In fact, we wonder whether the Govemmem ha::; gone far enough in trimming some of this fat," says Kaiser. !

ALL HEADS OF COUNCIL, PLANNING, BOARD CHAIRS AND AMO EXECUTIVE .. I am pleased to provide you with a draft implementation strategy for the exemption provisions introduced in the Land Use Planning and Protection Act. 1996 (Bill 20). .. As I announced during second reading of the Bill, the Government is coInmitted to a sound, efficient and effective planning system, led by provincial policy and implemented by municipal decisions on planning proposals. Our goal is to enhance local autonomy and to streamline decision making by eliminating .. unnecessary overlap and duplication. This type of system is dependent on cooperation, integrity and support from all players in the planning system including; the Province, municipalities, planning boards, the development industry and other stakeholder groups. .. .. During consultation on Bill 20, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) recommended legislative amendments to the Planning Act to implement a community based planning model, which allowed for greater autonomy in making local planning and development decisions. The Government listened and included provisions in Bill 20 that would allow exemption from approval authority for Official Plans and amendments, leading to one level of government approving planning documents. .. .. The attached draft implementation strategy proposes a roll out of exemption in keeping with AMO's expectations on a proposed course of action to exempt official plans and amendments across the Province from ministerial and upper tier approval. The purpose of the strategy is to stimulate discussion on the issue and to obtain your comments, especially in terms of the impact exemption may have on your business plans. .. .. In this regard, we will be consulting with municipalities, planning boards and interested parties during the next 6 weeks to ensure that implementation can best work for those who will become responsible for the approvals and how the Province can best support the system. .. Should you have any questions about the upcoming consultation process please contact Joe Perrotta, Senior Planner, at (416) 585-6109 or Paul Featherstone, Senior Planner, at (416) 585-6044 of the Provincial Planning Services Branch. For your convenience, the Implementation Strategy will also be available through our Home Page on the Internet under Land Use Planning. You may respond directly to the Ministry, through consultation meetings or co-ordinate your comments through AMO who will be providing a response on behalf of the Association.

A Modelfor Enhancing Local Control over Planning Decisions .. .. PROPOSED EXEMPTION IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY .. .. llIlIIl .. .. .. November 1996 .. ... .. . - .. - Introduction .. The Land Use Planning and Protection Act, passed in May of 1996, streamlines the planning process and allows local planning decisions to be made locally. One of the new Planning Act provisions allows the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to exempt official plans and official plan amendments from the need for ministerial approval. The Act also allows the minister to authorize other approval authorities to exempt plans and amendments subject to their approval. .. .. The government's goal is to exempt official plans and official plan amendments from the need for ministerial approval within two years. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has held informal discussions with various stakeholders, and has identified a number of issues that need to be addressed. This paper describes a proposed strategy for achieving that goal. It will be a starting point for discussions with municipalities, approval authorities and other stakeholders in the planning process over the next six weeks. These discussions will help make sure exemption decisions are sensitive to the impacts on all stakeholders. .. - .. .. Municipalities wishing to comment on the strategy may choose to do so through the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, which has agreed to assist in the coordination of comments. Alternatively, comments may be made directly to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The respective contacts are: .. ..

Attn: Pat Vanini Senior Policy Advisor Tel. (416) 929-7573 ext. 316 Fax (416) 929-7574 - - .. The Context of Land Use Planning in Ontario .. Wisely managed growth leads to economically and environmentally sound communities. Good planning means doing things right the first time, and avoiding the need for costly remedial measures to correct problems. .. The province's resources - its agricultural land base, mineral resources, natural heritage resources, water supply and cultural heritage resources - provide economic, environmental and social benefits. The wise use and protection of these resources over the long term is a key provincial interest. The Land Use Planning and Protection Act gives the province a clear mandate to protect these key provincial interests by setting strong provincial policies. Local decision makers plan while having regard to these policies. The planning system provides a framework for the province and communities across Ontario to work together to promote the continued health and safety of the population and the economic well-being of the province and municipalities. .. .. .. ... The quality of planning and an efficient planning system are key to the overall health of municipalities. Good planning provides for the efficient use of resources, effective and timely provision of infrastructure, accurate capital forecasting and a more stable financial future. The province will continue to cooperate with municipalities to eliminate overlap and duplication in the system to ensure that good planning decisions can be made in a timely manner. .. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .. .. ~ III ... - .. The Provincial Role in Review and Approval .. The thrust of the Land Use Planning and Protection Act is to eliminate provincial approval of local planning decisions, while maintaining a supportive rather than directive provincial presence in the planning process. This will be done through timely and consistent interpretation and advice, policy development, training, technical input, shared data and information, a reduced and streamlined review function, and provincial one-window appeal of planning documents. Since 1983, the government has been moving toward greater local autonomy in the planning process. Responsibility for subdivision approval, for example, has been delegated to some capable municipalities, and directly assigned to all regions, all separated cities and some counties. The approach has generally been to allow the municipality to build its capacity before giving it subdivision approval authority. As well, most regional municipalities have been directly assigned the responsibility for approving local official plans and official plan amendments. .. .. .. .. - In Northern Ontario, the government plans to transfer responsibility for zoning matters from the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to planning boards by deeming minister's zoning orders to be zoning by-laws. Exempting official plans and official plan amendments from the need for ministerial approval is a logical next step in this move toward greater municipal authority for local planning matters. .. .. .. At the same time, the government began early in 1996 to reduce provincial review of most planning applications that are now the responsibility of municipalities with planning approval authority. This reduction is being done incrementally, beginning with regional governments and moving to separated cities, counties and planning boards. Reduced provincial review means that other ministries will no longer provide direct comments on applications. Rather, municipalities and planning boards will be responsible for reviewing applications such as subdivisions, consents and zoning as if they were provincial ministries. With regard to official plans and amendments, municipalities will also perform this function. However MMAH will coordinate a provincial review/response for all provincial policy interests. This one-window planning service was established by the government for provincial input, review, appeals and, where the province continues to approve applications,approval. Issues Identified During Informal Discussions witb Stakeholders The government's objective is to exempt official plans and amendments in a timely, efficient and effective manner, protecting provincial interests, improving customer service, recognizing local diversity and capability and maintaining performance in the planning system. A number of issues must be addressed as the government accomplishes this objective. .. .. .. - .. .. 1. - - .. Protection of Provincial Interests .... Exemption of approval authority does not mean that provincial interests can or would be ignored. Ontario's planning process offers a number of alternative ways to protect those provincial interests: IIIIIIIi · The Planning Act requires municipalities to have regard to the provincial policy statement in all planning decisions. - · The province retains an active role in policy development, education, training, plan input, review and appeals. ... · New provincial planning services will focus on pre-consultation on important municipal planning documents. The province will continue to work with municipalities to ensure that provincial interests are identified and understood by municipalities. ... ... · The province will establish performance measures and review the performance of the system to ensure its integrity. .... · The minister can revoke an exemption order ifhe deems it necessary. - No Official Plan -i; Many counties have no official plan. In those counties, there would be nothing to exempt. However, in counties where there is no official plan, the minister remains the approval authority for local plans. The minister could therefore consider a number of options to deal with the situation such as directly exempting those lower tier plans and supporting the establishment ofMP As while exempting them from provincial approval. Alternatively, the province could delegate approval authority to the county for local plans, whether.the county has an official plan or not. .. .. .. Munkipal Capability .. Municipalities and planning boards currently process and adopt official plans and amend..'11ents which are then sent to another level for final approval. Where there is little development pressure or planning activity, a municipality may wish to consider carrying out its planning responsibilities through the use of consultants, buying services from the upper tier or sharing services with neighbouring municipalities. These alternative forms of delivering planning services may be more cost effective than the municipality carrying them out itself. The Provincial Planning Services Branch is also available to help municipalities build their planning capacity. .. ... ... ... 2 .. .. .. - SubdivisiOl' Approval Authority .. The province currently retains subdivision approval in 18 of the 27 counties, all planning boards, Northern Ontario towns and townships. The goal of municipal accountability and streamlining in planning decisions should apply to subdivisions as it does to policy documents. .. - In those areas where the province currently approves subdivisions, the government will consider delegating subdivision approval as a first step toward exempting official plans from the need for ministerial approval. This would give the municipality time to establish planning practices and administration. .. .. Since the province is no longer reviewing subdivision applications, provincial planners will have to help some municipalities through the Municipal Plan Review initiative to build their capacity. Exemption could follow quickly afterwards. - Delegation of Other Approval Authority .. Along with the delegation of subdivision approval authority the province is also considering the delegation of approval authority for other types of planning applications such as community improvement plans, consents, road closings less than 20 metres wide and those on registered plans. Planning documents in process before the Ministry will also be considered for delegation. .. .. Municipal Restructuring .. Structural changes, such as movement toward single tier government, will affect the exemption implementation strategy. Municipalities involved in restructuring, or in the formation of municipal planning authorities, will be in the best position to advise the government about the impact of exemption, and whether or not the timetable should be adjusted in their case. .. - In other areas, regional governance issues are being examined. Until a provincial direction is established for these initiatives, implementation of exemption would be deferred. .. PUuuting in the North .. There are 22 planning boards covering parts of Northern Ontario. They vary in terms of their administration, structure, function, financing, planning practices and activity levels. .. Q - - - Issues of structure, funding and representation need to be addressed as part of the assessment of eligibility for exemption. Strategies for addressing these issues will be co- ordinated with the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines and should be considered in the context of municipal restructuring, municipal finance reform and Municipal Act reform. ... ... ... Exemption, like municipal plan review, may be difficult to implement where funding and/or municipal support for planning boards decreases. .. Proposed Implementation Strategy The province proposes to accomplish exemption by integrating it with the use of delegation and the municipal plan review initiative. In effect, exemption from the minister's approval authority is the logical final stage in the elimination of overlap and duplication in planning. Many municipalities have already taken responsibility for plan input and review. In so doing, some see exemption as an appropriate step at the early stages of municipal plan review. ... ... .. The implementation strategy must be flexible and responsive to each municipality and planning board's assessment ofits own situation. This consultation period will allow each municipality to assess the exemption strategy, consider local plan review implications and determine at what stage over the next two years it may fit into the strategy. The province would like to hear from upper and lower tier municipalities together, in order to appreciate and consider all concerns, desires and implications. ... .. To ensure that provincial policies are understood and considered in the planning approvals process, and that the system is working as it should, the province, in consultation with the municipal sector, will establish benchmarks and performance measures that will allow for performance reviews of municipal planning services. ... ... In addition to the ongoing plan input review and monitoring, an overall review will be undertaken three to five years after implementation to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of the system and to consider any trends and opportunities that become evident during the monitoring process. .. ." Proposed Timetable The following proposed timetable deals with the exemption of official plans and amendments currently subject to the minister's approval, and providing authorization of upper tier municipalities to exempt lower tier plans and amendments. .. ... The govenunent expects the subsequent exemption to come after further discussions between the upper tier approval authorities and the lower tier municipalities in the context .. 1 .. - .. .. of municipal plan review. The ministry intends to discuss, with approval authorities, the potential for exemption oflocal official plans and amendments and how provincial and upper-tier interests would be protected. .. .. The following phases of implementation are proposed to apply to relevant planning applications noted therein. The implementation also recognizes the evolving municipal plan review timetable and is intended to serve as a starting point for discussions with municipalities. The government is proposing complete exemption without conditions or criteria. The consultation process may result in changes to the phasing components or the timetable. - - Phase 1: January to July. 1997 .. · Exempt from ministerial approval all upper tier municipalities that currently have the authority to approve lower tier official plan and amendments. - . Exempt from ministerial approval all separated cities, the City of Sarnia and the Town of Orangeville. .. · Exempt from ministerial approval the Region of Sudbury and Counties of Oxford and Prince Edward, who provide a single level of planning service. .. · Delegate the minister's authority to approve lower tier official plans and amendments to the Counties of Victoria and Huron. - · Delegate the minister's authority to approve consents to all planning boards that presently do not have the authority. .. Phase 2: July to December. 1997 .. · Exempt from ministerial approval the Counties of Victoria and Huron. - · Delegate lower tier official plan approval authority to counties assigned subdivision approval authority under Bill 20. These include Bruce, Grey, Hastings, Peterborough, Lambton and Wellington. .. .

Phase 3: January to July. 1998 ... ~ Exempt counties that were assigned subdivision approval under Bill 20 (Bruce, Grey, Hastings, Peterborough, Lambton and Wellington). .... ~ Delegate lower tier official plan approval authority to municipal planning authorities. ... ~ Delegate lower tier official plan approval authority to remainder of counties with planning departments. ... ~ Delegate subdivision approval authority to lower tier municipalities within Counties that do not currently have a county plan and/or planning department (Brant, Dufferin, Elgin, Essex, Haliburton, Lanark, Leeds & Grenville and Northumberland) .. ~ Delegate subdivision approval authority to planning boards and municipalities within districts outside of planning boards. .. Phase 4: July to December. 1998 .. ~ Exempt counties delegated official plan approval authority in Phase 3 as appropriate. ... ~ Exempt lower tier municipalities within counties that do not currently have a county plan and/or planning department. ... ~ Exempt planning boards and municipalities within districts outside of planning boards from minister's approval authority. ... ... .. .. .. ... 2 ... .. - Consultation on implementation: .. Discussion Points with Municipalities, Planning Officials and Associations: .. ~ The province is seeking advice from AMO, individual municipalities and planning boards on a number of issues: .. o How prepared are individual municipalities to assume approvals? o Is the proposed timing right for them? .. o What alternatives have municipalities considered for obtaining planning services? (These could include hiring consultants, using upper tier planning services, establishing their own planning department, municipal restructuring, sharing services with a neighbouring municipality.) .. o How will the new planning services fit into a municipal restructuring framework? .. o Does the implementation of the exemption provision affect current discussions regarding alternative forms of delivering planning services? .. o What ideas do municipalities have on performance measures and benchmarks? - o What criteria might be used to assess the most appropriate approach to planning board exemptions? .. o Can planning board exemptions be phased in line with northern governance issues? i.e. the introduction of fees, etc. - ~ The discussion period will also give municipalities and planning boards a chance to determine what impact delegation and exemption may have on their operations. Administrative and practical changes may be required to assume new responsibilities. .. Discussion Points with Provincial Agencies: .. ~ What protocols will have to be established for new planning service initiatives as a result of exemption? - ~ How should the province, through AMO, OPPI and other associations, provide education and training for municipalities and planning boards preparing to assume these responsibilities? - ~ How should the province monitor how well provincial interests are being protected? ~ \\'hat benchmarking and performance measures need to be established? ~ What sort of performance review or audit program should be put in place? - - .. 10 .. - \'\~~ COUNCIL INFORMATION l) c' ~~~"::,o.-..r...... 1-11 MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON ..

Our most recent initiative is entitled, "Second-Hand Smoke and Indoor Air Quality". Exposure to second-hand smoke now ranks third as a preventable cause of death behind only active smoking and alcohol. The medical profession of Ontario has identified second-hand smoke as a serious health problem. To underscore the very serious nature of this health hazard the OMA has taken a strong stance in this position paper. In light of the health risk documented in the paper, we believe that every action that can be taken to eliminate exposure of Ontario citizens to second-hand smoke, can and should be taken at the earliest opportunity. We encourage you to share this information. Please feel free to photocopy and distribute this document to your colleagues, with the proper acknowledgement.

OMA POSITION PAPER ON SECOND-HAND SMOKE by OMA Committee on Population Health ;~ INTRODUCTION The physicians of Ontario have long been involved with health promotion and preventive medicine, as reflected in their battles for the pasteuriza- tion of milk, the chlorination of water, asbestos removal, the vacci- nation of all Ontario school chil- dren, and seat-belt legislation (which caused controversy over "forcing" people to buckle upl. The OMA has always taken a strong stand against society's number one preventable public health problem, tobacco use. As far back as 1974, the OMA identified the need to protect those who do not use to- bacco products, yet are exposed to the byproducts of smoking. A 1983 OMA conference on pas- sive smoking highlighted the Asso- ciation's concern with regard to second-hand smoke, * and brought this important health issue to the attention of major organizations and groups of influence in the community. Physicians were urged to discourage smoking in their workplaces, including hospi- tals, offices and waiting rooms, to protect patients and staff from the dangers of second-hand smoke. Second-hand smoke ranks third as a major preventable cause of death behind only active smoking and alcohol.' Second-hand smoke is the smoke that individuals breathe when they are located in the same air space as smokers. Second-hand smoke is a mixture of exhaled main- stream smoke from the tobacco user, side stream smoke emitted from the smoldering tobacco be- tween puffs, contaminants emitted into the air during the puff, and con- taminants that diffuse through the cigarette paper and mouth end between puffs.2 Second-hand smoke is a complex mix of over 4,000 sub- stances, of which more than 42 indi- vidual mainstream components are known to cause cancer in humans and animals, and many of which are strong irritants.3 Side stream smoke contains many of the same substances round in mainstream smoke, including a host of carcino- genic agents.4 Smokers themselves are compro- mised not only from the smoke directly inhaled from tobacco use, but by second-hand smoke as they breathe in both the sidestream and mainstream smoke. There is a need to aggressively combat this health hazard. There are segments of the population which, despite the evolution of atti- tudes toward open recognition of this problem, continue to put oth- ers at risk and view the problem merely as a nuisance. However, second-hand smoke is one of the .", .. .. .. ... .. .. major environmental health risks that society faces today, and steps can and must be taken to prevent this health hazard. The purpose of this document is to outline the position of the OMA with respect to second-hand smoke. Its deleterious effects are particu- larly significant when one takes into account the fact that second- hand smoke usually victimizes non- smokers against their will. The recommendations included in this report will, if acted upon, lead to a significant reduction in the overall involuntary exposure of non-smok- ers, especially children, to second- hand smoke. ... .. ... ... ... THE HEALTH HAZARDS OF SECOND-HAND SMOKE For more than 30 years, the U.S. Surgeon General's reports, based on strong scientific evidence, have identified tobacco use and exposure to second-hand smoke as serious public health hazards. In 1986, reports by both the u.S. National Research Council and the U.S. Surgeon General concluded that second-hand smoke causes lung cancer in adult non-smokers, and that children of parents who smoke have an increased frequency of res- piratory symptoms and acute lower respiratory tract infections, as well as evidence of reduced lung func- .. ... ... ... ... - ONTARIO MEDICAL REVIEW NOVEMBER 1996 29 .. .. tion.5.6 These facts were confirmed ond-hand smoke causes heart dis- which causes atherosclerosis has .. and strengthened by the 1992 U.S. ease.

CONCLUSION The purpose of this document is to outline the position of the OMA concerning the growing public health problem of second-hand smoke. Second-hand smoke is one of the major environmental health risks facing society today and steps can be taken to significantly elimi- nate this health threat. When as- bestos and PCBs were identified as environmental health risks, action was taken and these items were appropriately banned from use. It must be noted that the number of deaths and illnesses related to the exposure to both as- bestos and PCBs has been significantly less than the number of deaths from second-hand smoke alone. The best cure for second-hand smoke-caused illnesses in our communities is known without fur- ther research - elimination of involuntary exposure to second- hand smoke. A smoke-free environ- ment in public buildings, workplaces, and in the home, should be the goal of society..o This issue is a serious one re- quiring an integrated and compre- hensive approach involving many stakeholders, including the active involvement of organized medicine. While cognizant of barriers to the implementation of these recom- mendations, the OMA believes that the end benefits far outweigh the obstacles. The result would be a healthier society, and in particular, healthier children. The challenge we face is to determine the best method to entirely eliminate sec- ond-hand smoke in a manner which is socially acceptable. The OMA urges every community, includ- ing health-care providers, educa- tors (especially of youth). parents and legislators to address the issue of second-hand smoke in an ag- gressive and timely fashion.

OMA RELEASES POSmON PAPER ON SECOND-HAND SMOKE, CALLS FOR AGGRESSIVE ACTION TO COMBA T HEALTH HAZARD ... TORONTO, November 19, 1996 -- A policy paper, released today by the Ontario Medical Association, calls for immediate action to reduce the health hazards associated with second-hand smoke. .. "On behalf of the physicians of Ontario, I urge every Ontario resident not to expose children to second-hand smoke in the home, in restaurants, other enclosed recreation establishments, or allow them to be exposed to this hazard at their after school employment," said Dr. John Gray, President-elect of the OMA. .. "There is a need to aggressively combat second-hand smoke. The effects of this health hazard are particularly significant when one takes into account the fact that second-hand smoke usually victimizes non-smokers against their will." I11III The major recommendations included in the OMA paper arc: ... . all Ontario workplaces and enclosed public places must be smoke-free; smoking in all places frequented by pregnant women, young children and adolescents, including the home, must be eliminated; an expert advisory group should be convened to comprehensively consider the issue of second-hand smoke in the home. Its members should include, but not be limited to, individuals with expertise in law, medicine, civil and individual rights, and ethics. .. . .. . These recommendations, if acted upon, would lead to a significant reduction in the overall involuntary exposure of non-smokers, especially children, to second-hand smoke. They compliment expected federal legislation to combat the marketing and promotion of tobacco products. .. Based on figures published in the U.S., the OMA conservatively estimates that this year in Ontario: .. - 8,000 to 14,000 children will suffer from smoke-related middle ear infections; - up to 6,600 children may require tubes inserted in their ears due to second-hand smoke; - 500 to 800 children will require their tonsils and/or adenoids removed due to second-hand smoke; - 12,000 to 20,000 children will suffer from asthma becallse of second-hand smoke; - 52,000 to 80,000 children will have second-hand smoked related coughs; . - 15,000 to 25,000 children will suffer from a lower respiratory tract infection due to second-hand smoke; - 5 to 8 young people will die from a second-hand smoke related illness; - 6 children will die as a result of a smoking-related fire. ... .. .. "'Ve need to act immediately to prevent any further illnesses and deaths caused by second-hand smoke - which ranks third as a preventable cause of death behind smoking and alcohol. As physicians, we want to be part of the solution leading to the elimination of this significant health hazard," said Dr. Gray. ...

Noticeably, throughout my term as President of the ODHBA, was the absence of confrontation between government and the building industry, seldom did we appear before .. councilor committee objecting to implemented fee increases or bylaws.

IIIIIIIi IIIIIIIi November 27,1996 .. AUDITOR GENERAL LOSES SIGHT OF THE SUCCESS OF 99.5% OF INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS ... OTTAWA -- The Auditor General, Denis Desautels, has lost sight of the overwhelming success of the municipal/provincial/federal infrastructure program. "He has focused solely on ski resorts and golf courses which constitute one half of one percent of the $6.5 billion program that was invested in local communities," said FCM President Bryon Wilfert. ... 'We are here to remind you that 12,000 projects have created jobs and assets of lasting value in communities across Canada. Take a look at Vancouver's Annacis Island Sewage Treatment Plant, Halifax's street improvements, water main and pumping stations, Calgary's storm sewer upgrades, or Montreal's Henri-Bourassa Boulevard extension for example. This is not bean counting, these are real projects that provide real jobs for real Canadians," added Wilfert. .. .. An independent evaluation, prepared by Professor Richard Soberman for Treasury Board, found that the infrastructure program compared favourably to the debt reduction model. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increased about $0.5 billion and total investment approximately $5.7 billion greater for the infrastructure program than if the $2 billion federal share was applied to debt reduction (over the period 1994-2003). 'The Auditor General should have considered this impact in his report," said Wilfert. .. .. The Alberta model, highlighted by the Aud~or General, illustrates how the involvement of municipal govemments at every step of the process, ensured the success of project selection and program delivery. 'We strongly believe that the concerns of the Auditor General can be addressed by full~ inclusion of municipal governments in the management of a second phase of the program," stated Wilfert. ... .. A report prepared by the Civil Engineering Department of McGill University points out that the infrastructure deficit is mounting in core municipal infrastructure such as roads, bridges, sewers, water and waste water systems. "Investment in Canada's municipal infrastructure must be maintained to improve the economic competitiveness of our communities," said Wilfert. .. .. - 30- For more information, please contact: Nicole Loreto, Director of Public Relations Tel: (613) 241-5221, Ext. 227 ..

Dear Premier Harris At a recent joint meeting of representatives of the Durham Board of Education and The Northumberland-Claring1on Board of Education and the MPPs for our region, it was agreed that our two boards of education would write to you in response to the Who Does What sub-panel report on education released 13 November 1996 by its chairperson, David Crombie. ... ... We are concerned about how many ~hanges are being proposed for education in Ontario and the rate at which these ~anges are scheduled to be implemented. In particular, we are concerned about the recommendation that school boards be aligned with municipal boundaries which, in our region, would result in the dismemberment of The Northumber\and.Clarington Board of Education. .. ... The Durham Board of Education and The Northumberfand-Clarington Board of Education are good neighbours and have worked together over the years to provide the best programs and services for students. Our communities, although geographically close. differ in many ways. For example, Clarington remains a community of farms and small vmages in contrast to the more urban nature of Durham. The current boundaries allow each of us to meet the needs of OUr different communities. To adjust those boundaries would require a long period of transition and would, in our viewpoints, serve little or no purpose. .. ... """ We feel that education dollars raised locally should be spent locally to meet the unique needs of our system. Locally eJected trustees are accountable to their communities. This is democratic governance; something which could well be lost in the changes currently being proposed. -.. .. Please slow down the process of change. Education is important enough for your government to take the time to talk with us, work with us, and help us to ensure that any changes proposed will not only benefrt students but also will benefit the ratepayers of Ontario. ... ~ rr-. ......1..4c...,.:,. ~~~ ..

Thank you for your presentation at the 21 November 1996 Regular Board Meeting regarding alternatives to the demolition of the old Newcastle Public School. The Board appreciates your concerns and, as explained at the Meeting, carefully considered alternative uses and other issues related to the building before reaching the conclusion that the appropriate decision would be to demolish the building. .. - Several factors influenced the Board's decision: - . It was determined that any future use of the building would require extensive upgrading at a high cost of $1 320 000. Partial demolition was also considered for school use, but was found to cost approximately $300 000 for renovations and upgrades. ... .. . Potential uses for the building were considered., such as a site for Durham College; a partnership with the Municipal library; and community group use which would require approval by the Municipality; however, there was not a serious commitment from any group. ... . In order to secure government funding to build the Newcastle Public School replacement school, it was necessary to declare the old building unfit for educational purposes. .. ... tilt .. storks. newcast lede mo ... - .. Pauline Storks 26 November 1996 Page 2 - - As discussed, physical education is an integral part of the school curriculum, and the land from the old School is required as playground space for the new school. The western area of the Board continues to grow, with Newcastle Public School being the largest elementary School in the area. Both the students and, in partnership with the Municipality, the larger community, will benefit from use of the new School building and surrounding play fields. - Thank you for your interest and concerns with respect to this matter. - Sincerely .. .(' ~~cLc--- ..

Mark distributed copies of the Museum's budget for review by the Board. Mark recommended that the Board work from the budget sheet distributed, in conjunction with the information contained in the memo. Donna asked about cutback levels affecting the Museum's funding from CMOG (Community Museum Operating Grant) Programme from the Province. Mark noted that there would be a 10% reduction in CMOG funding in 1996 and 1997 totalling $1,646.00 ($823.00 each year). This shortfall will have to be recovered through fundraising. In light of these reductions Mark recommended that there be no changes in the Museum's budget with the exception of the deletion of the capital expenses. Donna noted that the construction of the new building was based on the assumption that there would not be any reduction in the Museum's budget to allow for the complete operation of the building. Mark noted that the Museum has prepared plans for alternative funding sources in the form of the Bequest Funding Programme which is currently under review at the Municipal level. General discussion followed. **96-54** Moved by Brian, Seconded by Donald, that the 1997 budget be maintained at its present level. - Carried. - .. .. .... 4 Mark wished to correct a statement made at the last meeting regarding the September Book Sale. Upon reviewing the figures Mark found that the sale brought in $30.00 more than the September sale of 1995, not less. .... .... CURATOR'S REPORT Mark reported that the building is coming along on track. Mark noted that the contractor is working six days a week. He also noted that this has meant an increased workload as there are now frequent meetings regarding the site and construction details regarding servicing for the new building and various sub-contractors. ... ... There will be two new exhibits opening this Friday. "Lest We Forget" will commemorate those individuals who served in the wars of the 20th century from the Boar War to WWll. The artifacts for the WWII section of the exhibit are largely from a recent donation by Derek Barnett. Dereck served as a founding member of the Board of the Museum and as Chairman over a 15 year period. Other recent donations include a trench lighter and an ever strike match also from WWI. On special loan for the exhibit is a Silver Trophy plate awarded to Cpt. Milligan for marksmanship. Cpt. Milligan, from Newtonville served during the Boar War. Mark noted that Shirley has just completed restoration work to the "God Save the King" banner which was badly ripped. Mark pointed out several of the known individuals who are pictured in the display and noted that there are many more photos of war veterans for whom we have no names. .... .... .... .. "Apple Harvest" commemorates the Orono Apple Evaporator Co. Which dried apples grown in the area for shipment to the west before orchards had been established in that region and prior to the development of transportation methods to ship fresh fruits to the area. .... .. Mark also noted the addition of the parlor stove to the Parlor display. The stove required three days of restoration work with stove blacking and a fine brush to bring it back to its present state. Mark noted that it is in perfect condition otherwise and could be operated if connected to a proper chimney. .... The Children's Christmas Workshop will be Saturday December 7th from lOam to 3pm. This is a craft workshop based on the adult workshop of November 23rd and will include the making of woven wheat decorations, Christmas Crackers and other crafts. It is expected that inany of the adults not able to attend the November 23rd workshop will try to attend this session as they are being notified of this event as they call about the earlier session. Volunteers for this day would be greatly appreciated and should contact Gavin as soon as possible. .. .. - Mark noted that the new doors for the front of the Museum and the Office have been installed. The front door will be painted to match the Museum colours inside and out in the new year. .. .... ... .. .. .. - - .. .. - - - - .. - .. .. - - - - - 5 OTHER MATTERS NEW BUSINESS Brian noted that at least four individuals did not find the last Book Sale as they were unaware that the sale was indoors when looking for it on the Rain Date on the Sunday. Mark, Donna, Gavin, and Angela noted that the sale had run both the Saturday and Sunday inside the Museum. Fran proposed that the Board Christmas party be held at her home on the evening of December 7th. The party would be open to all Museum Board members, Staff, and spouses. Details on the party and directions are to follow. She also noted that she will be absent for the December Board meeting and for the December Collections Committee Meeting. Fran asked about the possibility of installing cement pads for the outdoor farm machinery during the construction of the new building. Mark responded that with the tight construction costs this would not be possible at this time and that several of the pieces now on outdoor display would be moved inside once the new building is completed. Fran suggested that this matter be brought up again in the spring of 1997 for further consideration. Angela presented Mark with a book made from the work of her class following their visit to the Museum which they found most interesting and informative. She also has referenced the essential outcomes of the activities of the day with the Common Curriculum for future reference in planing educational visits. Mark presented a letter from the Peterborough Centennial Museum and Archives regarding the release of "Heritage Handbooks Series, Cemetery Studies" along with a working copy of the handbook. Much of the material regarding Victorian Funerary Customs is based on Mark's research for "In Repose", as well as his advice on procedures for a Cemetery Tour. Donna has recently come in contact with an individual who has 16mm films of Toronto from the 1920's - 1060's. Unfortunately a collection of photographs and negatives of Massey farm equipment made by the same photographer has been destroyed. **96-55** Moved by Donald, Seconded by Brian, that the next meeting of the Board of Directors be held on Tuesday December 3, 1996 at 7:00pm.

Marano, Treasurer Date: October 24, 1996 Subject: 1997 Current Bud2et Worksheets & Guidelines A copy of the 1997 Current Budget Worksheets for your department is attached. The deadline for submission to Finance for input is November 29, 1996 unless otherwise notified. If there is difficulty with th-is time line, please advise. Council has asked for a 0% and a 3% budget to be presented for consideration. The budget strategy meeting held with Council on October 15, indicated that a 0% budget requires budget adjustments of approximately $1.2 million, and a 3% budget impact will require an adjustment of approximately $975,000 to the existing base. If the savings target areas totalling $635,000, identified to Council at the budget strategy meeting, can be achieved it will leave approximately $640,000 still to be identified for a 0% budget In view of the above, the approach to the 1997 budget will be to identify areas of operation and seIVices that could be adjusted or eliminated, and revenues that can be increased or new revenue sources. The Chief Administrative. Officer has stated that he and I will be reviewing the overall finances, including transfers to reselVes etc. to fine tune the net requirement whic.h will be apportioned in some manner to all departments. However, because the overall requirement will be significant regardless of the savings identified to this point, all departments should be starting their budget preparation with the above as a guideline. It is suggested that a 0% budget be prepared, accomodating the required cuts and adjustments, and collectively we will decide, based on corporate priorities, what should be considered for adding back to accomodate the 3% budget. () I! there are any questions on the above, please advise. (j~ie cc: B. Stockwell, Chief Administrative Officer C.

"Our ore-store' program is part of a national initiative to enhance our position as a leader in the convenience store business through the redesign and improved look of our Ontario stores," said v.P. of Operations, Greg Ross. This process will begin in Windsor, and proceed throughout the province of Ontario. A total of $7 million dollars will be spent on this program throughout Ontario. The ore-store' program which began in 1993 in Western Canada, is part of 7-Eleven Canada's most ambitious remodelling program in its 27 year history in Canada. The store in Bowmanville will receive extensive improvements, including: · brighter exterior signage and lighting · in some cases, new, faster gas pumps · brighter interior lighting · wider aisles and better aisle markers · lower shelves for easier customer access to products · enhanced store security · wider product selection and improved product presentation "Overall. we believe customers and staff will like our new look" Ross said_ '"These changes will improve the signage, visual appeal, security and customer service in each of our stores." While construction at each store would normally take up to two weeks, work crews will be on site 24 hours a day to complete most work within two or three days to minimize customer inconvenience. According to David Huey, Vice President of Marketing, "a new look isn't all there is to the remodelling program. Stores are now ore-merchandised' to add a variety of new products not usually carried in traditional convenience stores. " In addition. store managers can now carry other products unique to their individual market area depending on customer demand, purchasing patterns and product requests. As a result, stores will have common core products with optional items depending on local demographics. In May 1995, 7-Eleven introduced its first private label product - Classic Selection Spring Water _ a non- carbonated natural spring water produced from a source near Water Valley, Alberta.

Purpose of this Report .. 1.1 The purpose of this report is to assess the status of recent and anticipated population growth in the Region, relative to the population targets contained in the Durham Regional Official Plan (OP), particularly over the next five years. Specifically, the report: .. .. . reviews how the OP population targets were derived; examines recent and anticipated trends in population growth and the status of the population targets; discusses the implications of these trends on the Region's growth strategies; and identifies future actions. ... . .. . . ... 1.2 The analysis provided in this report will be used in various studies undertaken by Regional Departments, including the Five-year Servicing and Financing Study, urbanization studies, environmental assessment studies, and local official plan reviews. .. ..

OP Population Targets Page 2 - ... 2.1 The 2021 population target contained in the OP (970,000) is based on the "Reference Scenario" population forecast prepared by the Office for the Greater Toronto Area (OGTA) in 1993. Section 3.3.5 of the OP allocates this overall population target to the individual urban areas and the total rural area. In addition, the OP provides for a population increase of 10,000 persons for the northern urban areas, which will be allocated through an OP amendment, following environmental assessment (EA) and other planning studies. - - - 2.2 The OGT A also provided five-year population forecasts for the entire Region to the year 2021. After reviewing these values, it was concluded that the 1996 forecast was too high, and that the growth trends proposed to the year 2021 were not consistent with the growth strategy presented in the OP. In addition, forecasts for the area municipalities were not provided through the OGT A work. ... - - 2.3 To address these concerns, the Planning Department prepared a range of population target scenarios for the Region, by area municipality, for each five- year period from 1991 to 2021 (Commissioner's Report No. 94-P-103). Of the alternatives presented in that report, the "Alternate" scenario was determined to be the most likely growth scenario to reach the 2021 OP population targets. As such, the "Alternate" scenario targets are being used for ongoing studies and in the review of local Official Plan population targets. ... .. ... 2.4 Earlier this year, Planning Committee was provided with estimates of area municipal and Regional population for the 1991 - 1996 period, based on actual development activity (Commissioner's Report No. 96-P-40). The report concluded that the estimated 1996 population for the Region (473,800) was consistent with the 1996 "Alternate" scenario target. The report did not, however, review the implications of recent and anticipated growth trends on the attainability of future population targets. ... ... - 3. Recent and Anticipated Growth Trends and the OP Population Targets - 3.1 The amount and location of recent and anticipated population growth within the GT A and the Region were examined to assess the current status of the - 54 - ..

The analysis also examined how the trends may affect the Region's ability to reach the targets. .. 3.2 Regional Target ... 3.2.1 Recent and forecasted population growth trends for the GT A regions are illustrated in Figure 1. The figure illustrates that Durham's population will have increased by about 49,000 over the 1991 - 1996 period. The figure also shows that for the Region to reach its 2001 target, population growth over the next five years needs to almost double, to 86,000. When compared to the other regions, Durham needs to achieve the greatest rate of increase in population growth over this period. .. - - Figure 1 ...

This population is to be allocated based on available servicing capacity. EA studies conducted to assess available capacity have concluded that both Beaverton and Port Perry can support population increases of 3,000 above the targets contained in the OP. Depending upon the results of the EA which is currently underway for the Uxbridge Urban Area, and any other required planning studies, the allocation of the remaining 4,000 population to this area would be of a magnitude consistent with the OP. ... ... .. .. .. 57 ... - - Commissioner's Report No. 96-P-126 Page 6 4. Implications on Durham - - 4.1 The analysis illustrates that, although the 1996 targets are being achieved, it will be difficult to reach the 2001 population target, if current growth trends in the Region continue. With the economy showing modest signs of recovery, it is unlikely that tho Regional target of 559,800 persons will be reached by 2001. - - 4.2 If the 2001 target is to be achieved, significant growth must occur in the Whitby/Oshawa/Courtice urban area. The current growth rate in this area must more than double, from about 29,200 persons between 1991 and 1996, to 63,500 persons between 1996 and 2001. However, the City of Oshawa has recently endorsed municipal population projections for the years 2001 and 2006, which are lower than the Region's targets. The Oshawa projections differ from the Region's targets in that the City's values are based on actual and anticipated development proposals, and the expectation that the economy will remain sluggish until 2001. Conversely, the Region's numbers are based primarily on the OP's growth polices, and assume a high rate of growth for the GT A beyond 1996. - - - - - 4.3 While it may not be feasible to achieve sufficient growth in the short term to reach the targets, Whitby, Oshawa and Clarington have or are currently considering long-term strategies in their official plans to accommodate the forecasted growth in the OP. The recently approved Whitby and Clarington official plans include policies to accommodate the Region's population targets. Oshawa is in the process of reviewing its official plan, and the implications of the forecasts will be considered through their review. - - - 4.4 Long term growth opportunities for the GT A are promising. For the Region to capture an increasing share of the growth forecasted for the GT A over the next 25 years, the growth policies provided in the OP need to be realized. These policies promote the continued development of the: - - . transportation system, through initiatives such as the extension of Highway 407, the widening of Highway 401, the enhancement of GO Rail and other transit services, and the construction of the Pickering airport; - - - 5a .. Commissioner's Report No. 96-P-126 4.5 The amount of growth achieved during the next five years will provide an indication of the attainability of the long-term OP population targets. If population growth does not keep pace with the targets, it may become necessary to adjust the targets or the timeframes, and/or revise the fundamental growth strategies contained in the OP. Ultimately, the OP population targets should be reached, but this may not occur until after the 2021 timeframe of the Plan. It should be noted that the Region's 30 year OP was adopted 5 years ago, and many of its growth policies, including the ones identified above, have yet to be fully implemented.

Only summary budgets which clearly indicate program levels of expenditure would be submitted to the Finance and Administration Committee and Council. This is a change from 1996 when detailed budget information was presented to the respective Standing Committees and the Finance and Administration Committee and summary 1997 Budgets were presented to Council for final approval. .. - 4.0 PROPOSED TARGET REDUCTIONS FOR THE 1997 REGIONAL BUDGETS - - The continuing reduction and probable elimination of the Ontario Municipal Support Grant, the phasing out of Provincial red-circle funding for Homes for the Aged and a host of spending pressures have combined to produce a major revenue shortfall of approximately $51.5 million gross and $18.2 million net over the next few years. In 1997 alone. the Region faces a shortfall of $19.6 million gross and $8.5 million net (Attachment #2 from Commissioner of Finance, Report #96-F-47). - - As a Tesult, Council directed on July 3, 1996, that a comprehensive "Budget Review and Program Re-engineering" project be instituted to examine all programs and services of the Regional Municipality of Durham and identify potential savings through lower cost delivery mechanisms, new sources of revenue, and service reductions or eliminations. - - It is proposed that Council adopt a recommendation that provides no increase in the Region's share of the Local Tax Bill for 1997. To meet the net revenue shortfall of$8.5 million in 1997 without a tax increase, appropriate savings must be found from all Regional operations and the Police Services Board. It was estimated in Commissioner of Finance Report #96-F- 47 that savings of $4.3 million would be required from Regional Operations and $4.2 million fj from Police Services and other outside agencies. - - The Commissioner's Report also indicated that the savings target for the Homes for the Aged would be set at $1.7 million in 1997 to cover the additional loss resulting from the reduction in red-circle funding from the Province, which is being phased out over the next three years. - - ..

Purpose of this Report - 1.1 This report addresses outstanding Deferral No. 16 of the Durham Regional Official Plan (OP) of the proposed Bayly Street - Lawrence Avenue and Rossland Road - Finch Avenue arterial road connections between Durham and Metropolitan Toronto. Specifically, the report: 2.2 The transportation analysis completed for the 1991 OP review reiterated the need for the two connections and recommended they remain in the plan. To reflect the Region's continued interest in protecting these inter-regional connections, a policy was also included in the 1991 OP. In addition to the links already noted, the policy (16.3.19) identifies a future 5th Concession - 14th Avenue link, which will provide for emerging travel demands between Durham and York Regions. .. - - - - 2. .. 2.1 - - - - - - - - - . reviews the history of the two connections; examines previous and on-going initiatives impacting the connections; illustrates the future need for the roads; outlines a proposed strategy for resolving the issue and its implications; and addresses related matters. . . . . History of the Arterial Road Connections Plans for the Bayly-Lawrence and Rossland-Finch connections date back to the 1960's. Although the links were proposed prior to the Region's inception in 1974, Durham first expressed its intention to develop the connections in the original 1976 OP. The comprehensive transportation analysis completed for the 1976 OP [the Durham Region Transportation Study (DRTS)], confirmed the need for these interregional arterial roads and recommended that the connections be included in the plan. The DRTS did note that "these proposals [would] require detailed analysis of their physical feasibility and associated environmental problems because all involve new crossings of the Rouge River Valley." 28 ... Commissioner's Report No. 96-P-117 2.3 The Region (and its predecessor, the former County of Ontario) has expended a considerable amount of effort in planning and protecting for these interregional arterial roads. The intent of this work has always been to ensure that the opportunity to undertake these projects in the future would not be lost. It was recognized that construction of the connections would occur only when warranted and following a detailed environmental assessment to conclusively determine their need, justification and impacts. Page 3 ... - ... ... 3. Initiatives Impacting the Connections ... 3.1 Over the years, concerns about the environmental and financial implications of the connections have been raised by others in attempts to prevent the links: ... ... . Scarborough - The City of Scarborough has tried on several occasions to delete references to the connections from its official plan. As recent as 1988 and 1991, the City adopted official plan amendments to delete the Rossland-Finch (OPA No. 721) and Bayly-Lawrence (OPA No. 818) connections, respectively. The Region subsequently referred these matters to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). The hearing for OPA No. 721 was adjourned in 1994, following a letter from the Minister of Municipal Affairs advising the OMB of Provincial interest in the matter. This implied that a decision by the OMB would not be final and binding unless it were confirmed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council. ... .. IIIIlI ... ... . Pickering - The Town of Pickering has passed several resolutions, dating back to the 1970's, requesting the Region to re-examine the need for the connections. Earlier this year, the Town requested the Region to delete the future roads from the OP. The Town's draft official plan does not recognize the connections. ... .. . Metropolitan Toronto - Even Metropolitan Toronto, historically a champion of the initiative, is no longer supporting the connections. During its most recent official plan review, Metropolitan Toronto removed the roads from its future transportation network maps. At the ... ... IllllI 29 .. - - Commissioner's Report No. 96-P-117 Page 4 - Region's request, the official plan maps, as they relate to the links, were deferred when the document was approved last year. - 3.2 The most significant initiative impacting the connections occurred in 1990, when the Provincial government announced its intention to establish the Rouge Park. As part of this initiative, the Province adopted a policy prohibiting new roads through the Park south of Steeles Avenue. Although Regional Council expressed its concern about the policy (Commissioner's Reports Nos. 92-P-99, 92-P-163 and 93-P-33), the Rouge Park Management Plan, adopted by the Government in May 1994, confirmed this position. - - - .. 3.3 Due to the Rouge Park initiative, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs did not approve OP policy 16.3.19 and deferred the matter, pending the outcome of a study, which was examining transportation conditions in west Durham- northeast Metro-southeast York. Unfortunately, the study did not consider the implications of providing the connections, instead recommending land use policy measures, such as greater self-containment of employment, as the preferred strategy for addressing future transportation demands in the area. As such, the study did not explictly resolve the deferral issue (Commissioner's Report No. 9S-P-10S). - - - - 3.4 On April 18, 1995 and October 31,1995, Commissioner's Reports Nos. 9S-P- 42 and 95-P-105 were presented to Planning Committee. To resolve the deferral issue, thereports proposed a modification to delete the connections from the OP. The rationale for the recommendation to delete the connections was the Rouge Park policy, and promising announcements about other infrastructure improvements (ie. Highway 401 widening, Highway 407 extension and GO Transit expansion). - - - 3.5 After receiving the reports, Planning Committee directed the Planning Department to explore opportunities with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) to maintain the principle of the connections as a long term option. These discussions were not successful. A letter recently received from MMAH summarizes the current Provincial position on this matter (Attachment 2). The MMAH letter advises that policy 16.3.19 should be significantly revised or deleted to conform with Provincial policy regarding the .. - - 30 .. ... Commissioner's Report No. 96-P-117 Page 5 ... Rouge Park. MMAH suggested that a revised policy, reflecting Regional Council's intent to work with other jurisdictions to address transportation needs in this area, would be more appropriate, if the Region wished to maintain a policy in the OP. .. IIIIlI 4. Need for the Links .. 4.1 Previous studies have demonstrated the overwhelming need for the Bayly- Lawrence and Rossland-Finch connections in the future. This need is not anticipated to diminish over time, given expected growth trends in Durham and the GT A. Development of Seaton and the proposed Pickering Airport will only serve to heighten this transportation capacity problem. ... .. 4.2 A recent transportation analysis reconfirmed that the connections would significantly assist in alleviating traffic congestion on Durham's critical interregional arteries (ie. Highway 401, Highway 407 and Taunton-Steeles) in the future. The connections would also help to provide a more effective and attractive interregional transit service, which would assist in increasing transit use for cross-boundary trips. ... ... ... 4.3 The connections would also help to make the Region more competitive, as Durham presently has fewer interregional roadways than either York or Peel Regions. Concerns about the Region's transportation infrastructure, and its ability to support economic growth, were noted in a bond rating analysis completed earlier this year by the Canadian Bond Rating Service (Commissioner's Report No. 96-F-11). The bond rating report suggested that "from a competitive standpoint, Durham's main concern, as it heads into the next century, remains its congested road network." If traffic congestion persists, the Region's attractiveness as an employment centre may diminish. IIIIlI ... ... - 5. Proposed Strategy and its Implications - 5.1 Although the previous section illustrates the importance of preserving the connections for the future, current Provincial policy regarding the Rouge Park precludes the provision of any new crossings south of Steeles Avenue. To comply with this Provincial policy, OP policy 16.3.19 must be modified. This ... ... .. 3 1 - .. - Commissioner's Report No. 96-P-117 Page 6 - would mean that the Region would no longer be protecting the connections and would not be opposing initiatives affecting their implementation. - 5.2 Attachment 1 provides a suggested modification to the OP policy. The modification is a general statement of Regional Council's desire to work with other jurisdictions to address the transportation needs at the west Durham boundary. It emphasizes the Region's desire to protect for and implement opportunities which would assist in improving transportation conditions in this area, particularly ones north of Steeles Avenue. This is reflected in the intent to realize the 5th Concession-14th Avenue connection, as this link is north of Steeles Avenue, and, as such, would not be contrary to Provincial policy. - - - - 5.3 If the connections are not to be provided, comp.letion of Highway 407, the 5th Concession-14th Avenue connection, and other transportation improvement priorities, including Steeles Avenue in Metropolitan Toronto, will be of the utmost importance. These initiatives, and the current widening of Highway 401, will assist in alleviating some of the interregional transportation problems in the near term. However, these infrastructure improvements alone will likely not be sufficient to accommodate future demands. Without these critical connections, it may not be possible to accomodate anticipated growth with the future transportation network that remains. To accommodate this growth, changes in current travel behaviour and live-work relationships are required. These changes include: - - .. - . Increasing regional self-containment - If more people lived and worked in Durham, future cross-boundary travel demands could be stabilized. For increased self-containment of employment to be achievable in the foreseeable future, trip making trends need to change and the level of commuting diminished; and .. - .. - · Increasing use of other travel modes - Auto travel demands could be diminshed if more people used transit and carpools for their trips. For this strategy to have the desired effect, drastic changes in current travel behaviour would be required, likely involving more restrictions on travel and initiatives to promote alternative modes. 5.4 There may be opportunities to influence current live-work trends and travel - - 32 - ... Commissioner's Report No. 96-P-117 Page 7 ... behaviour in the longer term. Further study will be required to assess the long term impacts of deleting the connections on growth and development in the Region and the guiding policies in the OP. ... 5.5 A study of this nature would entail an examination of population and employment forecasts, land absorption projections, urban boundary limits, population to employment ratios, and the adequacy of the transportation system. The timing of this study will be determined through on-going monitoring of development activity and transportation trends. Should monitoring suggest the absence of the additional connections deterring or precluding development in the Region, substantial changes to the fundamental policies of the OP may be required. ... ... ... - 6. Related Matters ... 6.1 The Region has previously requested referrals of City of Scarborough Official Plan amendments, and the deferral of two maps in the Metropolitan Toronto Official Plan, which proposed actions contrary to existing policy 16.3.19. When this modification is approved, these matters will no longer be in conflict with OP policy. As such, the Region's requests for referral and deferral on these matters should be withdrawn. ... ... ... 6.2 Town of Pickering Council adopted a resolution on March 18, 1996 requesting that the Bayly-Lawrence and Rossland-Finch connections be deleted from the OP (Attachment 3). The proposed modification addresses the Town's concerns, and alleviates the need for any further action at this time. ... ... ... 6.3 Subsequent reports will be presented to address the Region's participation in the Rouge Park Alliance (Commissioner's Report No. 96-P-22), the disposal of the road allowance obtained for Bayly-Lawrence, the transportation network in Pickering (within the context of approval of the Town's new OP), and Regional transportation priorities, in light of eliminating the connections. - ... ... ... 33 .... - - Commissioner's Report No. 96-P-117 Page 8 7. Conclusions - 7.1 In conclusion: - . Notwithstanding proven transportation needs, Provincial policy regarding the Rouge Park precludes the provision of the Bayly Street - Lawrence Avenue, and Finch Avenue - Rossland Road arterial road connections. As such, the Region will not be able to realize these future connections; - - . A modification to Durham Regional Official Plan policy 16.3.19 is required to comply with this Provincial policy; and - - . On-going monitoring of development activity and transportation trends will enable the Planning Department to determine if changes to the Durham Regional Official Plan will be required to address growth and development implications. - - .. ..

For your information, our records indicate that Deferral No. 16 pertains solely to the' entirety of Policy 16.3.17 of the adopted 1991 Durham Region Official Plan (as renumbered to 16.3.19 following the Minister's modified approval of the Plan) and that Map B2 was not subject to any deferral(s) regarding this matter. . Given the establishment of the Rouge Park and the associated position regarding road connections through the Park, it the Ministry's position that Policy 16.3.17 should be deleted or significantly revised. Should the Region choose to revise the policy, it is recommended that it be a generalized statement outlining Council's intent to work with other jurisdictions to meet the transportation needs between and within Durham, eastern Metro and southeast York. If you have any questions or would like us to review a draft of a revised policy, please call me directly at (416) 585-6064. Yours truly, ti~f)/l . Victor Doyle, M.C.I.P., R.P.P.

The concept spread rapidly around the globe and today it's estimated that these volunteer organizations represent more than five million members in more than 150 countries worldwide. Kinsmen & Kinette Clubs of Canada, founded in 1920 in Hamilton, O~, is the largest all-Canadian service club. We currently have a combined membership across Canada of nearly 12,000 Kinsmen and Kinettes. - - We are greatly concerned that while similar organizations outside of North America are enjoying a growth spurt, clubs in Canada and the United States are actually experiencing a decline, or at best, a leveling off of membership. Even our Association, composed of young, civic-minded men and women between the ages of 19-45, has experienced a membership drop of nearly 6,500 members during the past 10 years. lilt - What we've learned through our efforts to reverse this negative trend is that service club members - and Kinsmen and Kinettes in particular - are a unique breed of volunteer. A survey commissioned by our Association a few years ago revealed that our members donate more time on average than do other volunteers, and that our members are also one of the few groups who pay money out of their own pockets - in the form of membership dues - so they can perform community service work. Kinsmen and Kinettes give a lot of themselves in terms of both time and money to serve their communities. Unfortunately, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find young people who are willing and able to make the sacrifices required to sustain this level of commitment. Therefore, we're very thankful for each one of the nearly 12,000 dedicated members we currently have in approximately 830 Kinsmen, Kinette and Kin clubs across Canada. .. lilt - - Is anyone really concerned about the serious threat declining membership poses to the long- term future of North American service clubs? The various service club organizations certainly are. That's why a great deal of work is being done individually and collectively by service clubs to adapt to our rapidly-changing society. Virtually every service club in North America, including Kinsmen & Kinette Clubs of Canada, is busy trying to determine the best way to attract and retain volunteers in the 1990s and beyond. - - Kinsmen & Kinette Clubs Of Canada Les Clubs Kin Du Canada 1920 Hal Rogers Drive, P.O, Box KIN Cambridge, Ontario N3H 5C6 Telephone (519) 653.1920 1-800.742.5546 Fax (519) 650-1091 - International conferences are organized to give service club leaders an opportunity to share ideas and formulate strategies to promote organized volunteering through service clubs. Last fall, for example, Kinsmen & Kinette Clubs of Canada played host to a meeting in Toronto of more than 20 major service clubs from as far away as Australia. What is driving this extraordinary effort to reshape North American service clubs to ensure their survival? Is it simply a selfish desire to continue to exist? We attended the international meeting hosted by our Association in Toronto last year and we can tell you firsthand that the motivation to survive is anything but self-serving. Instead, it is clear from listening to participants that this intense "will to live" sterns from a sincere desire by service club members to give something back to their communities. There are various ways that an individual can volunteer his or her time in the community, but generally speaking, service clubs have proven to be the most effective vehicle for meeting community needs. Consequently, service clubs play a leading role in "community building." Just as we are witnessing the weakening of the traditional family, on a wider scale, there are indications we may be on the verge of seeing a weakening of our communities. Admittedly, this trend is more pronounced at present in the U.s. than it is in Canada. However, as federal, provincial and municipal government funding for community projects and services here in Canada vanishes, it's inevitable that our communities will feel the impact. It's our belief that service clubs, such as Kinsmen & Kinette Clubs of Canada, can playa key role in maintaining the quality of life we've traditionally enjoyed in Canadian communities by stepping in to fill the gap created by the withdrawal of government funding. In fact, providing assistance in areas not covered by the government is something service clubs have always done. It's just that the need for service clubs to provide help will be greater than ever before. Our members, who belong to the hundreds of Kinsmen, Kinette and Kin clubs across Canada, are committed to meeting this challenge. The contribution that service clubs make to their communities is impossible to fully measure, but we know it's significant. For example, last year our Association's approximately 830 Kinsmen, Kinette and Kin clubs across Canada raised more than $23.3 million to fund a wide variety of community needs. In addition to monetary donations, our clubs were active doing "hands-on" service work. Our members take great pride in fulfilling our Association's motto - "Serving the Community's Greatest Need." Our members are also very proud of the fact that money raised in a community stays in that community to benefit their fellow citizens. Your local Kin members, who belong to the Kinsmen and Kinette Clubs of Bowrnanville, raised a significant share of last year's $23,336,512 national total. They also spent many hours planning and carrying out fund-raising and service projects. (Please note that none of the more than $23.3 million raised last year went to cover the cost of running our national Association. Those costs are paid for primarily out of our members' pockets through the membership dues they pay to belong to a Kinsmen, Kinette or Kin club.) We asked the question earlier: Is anyone really concerned about the long-term future of service clubs? We know that service clubs, such as our Association, are deeply concerned. We also trust that the hundreds of communities from coast to coast served by Kinsmen and Kinettes are equally committed to ensuring that service clubs continue to playa vital role in "community building." That's why once a year, Kinsmen and Kinettes across Canada ask their communities to help them. ... .. .. ... .. ... .. ... ... ... ... ... .. ... ... ... .. .. .. - - Each February on the anniversary of Kin's founding, our Association publishes a special issue of our national publication - KIN Magazine - featuring "Messages-of-Support" that recognizes the valuable work performed by Kinsmen and Kinettes during the past year. We sincerely appreciate the support you've provided in the past and we hope you will be able to participate again this year. Placing a "Message-of-Support" during our Association's 71" anniversary year is an excellent way to say "thank you" to Kinsmen and Kinettes for caring enough about their communities to donate their time and talents to fund-raising and service work. All volunteers need encouragement, so a formal thank-you from their community is truly appreciated by our Kin members. ... - ... Please keep in mind that a small investment in a dedicated group of community volunteers, such as Kinsmen and Kinettes, will be repaid many times over. Placing a "Message-of- Support" helps to ensure your local Kin members can carry on the many fund-raising and service projects that are so necessary to maintain the quality of life your community has come to enjoy. If all the communities served by our Association agree to make this small annual investment, it will have a significant impact on our membership dues, encouraging all Kinsmen and Kinettes to remain members and continue "Serving the Community's Greatest Need." - - .. Enclosed is a 71" anniversary "Message-of-Support" order form listing the sizes of messages available along with their respective prices. You can either provide a "camera-ready" message or send us a copy of your letterhead showing a logo and indicate the wording you want in the message. Alternatively, we can simply update your most recent message. In order to ensure your "Message-of-Support" arrives in time to appear in our special 71" anniversary issue of KIN Magazine, please return your material along with a completed order form before Friday, January 10,1997. (Incidentally, as the magazine is published in February, your "Message-of- Support" could come out of your 1997 budget, if you wish.) We respectfully request that you support the "community building" efforts of your local Kin members by placing a "Message-of-Support" in the special 71" anniversary issue of KIN Magazine. We are very optimistic that communities such as yours will want to help us continue "Serving the Community's Greatest Need." With your assistance, the long-term future of Kinsmen & Kinette Clubs of Canada will indeed be bright. - ... ... ... We look forward to your positive response.

In turn, Foundation officials have welcomed club members on their fund-raising sub- committees. Among the many ideas proposed in recent years to bolster fund-raising was the Stroke for Stroke Whaler's Race. Members of the sub-committees thought the race would nicely comple- ment the annual St. John's Regatta and provide area citizens with some extra fun and amusement. A mile-long race on Qui Vidi Lake, Stroke for Stroke is far less rigorous than the St. John's Regatta. Each dory, declared surplus by the Canadian Navy, carries 10 oarsmen. This year, 21 teams participated in the event. The first Stroke for Stroke Whaler's Race in 1992 saw our club pledge $500 to the Foundation so that we could The Town of PORT HOPE, Ont.

That year, incidentally, our club finished first in the service championship race by beat- ing the Kinsmen Club of St. John's (Nfld.). Having enjoyed the fun and fellow- ship of that first race so much, our club continues to support the annual event. This year, we were not able to enter the race, but we did look after all the day's on-shore activities. That included oper- ating the Kinsmen Regatta Beer Tent and the Crown and Anchor game wheel as well as selling and serving various food items. Held the weekend of Sept. 9, the 1995 Stroke for Stroke Whaler's Race raised approximately $21,000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, with lo- cal Kinsmen and Kinettes providing about 170 hours of volunteer service.

Every day, increasingly more individuals, organizations and municipal governments are publicly stating their rejection of the government's proposals which might benefit the coffers of the provincial government and the manufacturers of VL T's, but will leave a trail of huge financial and social service losses to charitable and non profit organizations, municipal governments, and the commercial and retail sectors, Consider that the government is being pressured by the hospitality industry to fast track the introduction of VL T's and proposes to award these machines to an industry who openly admit that they are operating them illegally now. Consider that the government of Alberta now admits that they regret having allowed VL T's outside of gaming venues because of their inability to control them. Consider that no proposals have been put forward to suggest how VL T's will be policed and what role and resources are expected of local police forces, ' Consider that the experience in other provinces clearly demonstrate the losses to charitable gaming as a direct result of the introduction of VL T's. In Alberta, in the two year AFTER VL T'S were introduced, Break Open Ticket (BOT) revenues dropped 12% and 29% respectively, according to reports of the Alberta Gaming & Liquor Commission. Province-wide, that translated into a loss of $3,000,000 per month for Alberta charities. Can our charitable organizations afford those losses? In April, a letter was circulated to every Municipality in Ontario by the Ontario Video Gaming Corporation, stating that VL T's had no impact on charitable gaming in Alberta, To make their case, they provided a graph which purported to show a 56% drop in BOT sales in the year before VL T's were introduced, attempting to make the case that BOT sales were already on the decline. Unfortunately, they appear to have mistakenly reversed several figures which gave a falsely positive picture of the Alberta VL T experience, Using figures provided directly by the Alberta Gaming & Liquor Commission, attached you will find the accurate experience of VL T's in Alberta. The government of British Columbia was poised to introduce VL T's until a massive lobby effort by communities and municipal governments forced the government to stop VL T's, The Ontario Government is asking communities to endorse the introduction of VL T's without adequate information as to their implementation, control, management and their impact on existing charitable gaming. We urge you to send a message to the Ontario Government by passing a resolution banning VL T's from your municipality. The Break Open Ticket Program Management Alliance (BOTPMA) is successfully spearheading a wide scale effort to bring attention to the staggering losses that will face the charitable gaming industry with the introduction of VL T's, We have brought together the stakeholders of the charitable gaming industry, including charities, non profit organizations, and the retail and commercial sectors to mount pressure on the Ontario government to reconsider the widespread introduction of VL T's. We believe that a strong message from municipalities across Ontario will alert the government of the seriousness of this issue, much as it forced the B,C. government to reverse its position on VL T's, There is still an opportunity to keep VL T's out of the bars and restaurants in your community. Attached please find a list of Municipalities who have sent their message to the Ontario Government. Please join them by rejecting Video Lottery Terminals in your community, To assist you, attached please find a sample Resolution which reflects that used by other Municipalities, If you would like further information on the impact of VL T's, we would be pleased to forward further information. Please add your community's voice to this issue. . Page 1 To: Municipality of Clarington Page 2 of5 .. ..

Recommendations: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: - 1. 2. - THAT Report ADMIN. 34-96 be received; THAT staff continue to meet with Mosport Park Limited in order to ensure that the noise abatement program be put in place as agreed between the parties; and 3. THAT a copy of this report be forwarded to Mr. B. Kamin of Mosport and Mr. Clay Taylor of the North Clarington Ratepayers Association. - - - - - - - - - .. BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: 1. During the 1995 Mosport season the Municipality of Clarington contracted the services of John Swallow Associates, Acoustical Engineers, to carry out sound measurements made in and around Mosport Park to determine the sound levels due to rock music originating from a bandstand situated in the infield of Mosport Park. The data obtained from these sound measurements were to be used by the Municipality to assist in establishing an acceptable level of sound from future concerts. A copy of the Swallow report was sent to Mr. Bernard Kamin of Mosport Park Limited to assist Mosport in readying themselves for future discussions on the issue of concert noise at the facility. 1.1 In the Spring of 1996 Mosport Park advised the Municipality of Clarington that they intended to stage a major rock concert at Mosport Park in July of 1996 to be known as Edenfest Music Festival. On April 18, 1996, municipal staff met with YourShow Productions, representing Mosport Park Limited, as well as staff representing a number of Regional services, to be briefed on the preliminary plans for the Edenfest concert. On May 13, 1996, a further meeting was held between municipal staff and representatives of Mosport Park Limited in an attempt to reach some type of an agreement pertaining to acceptable sound levels from both concerts and automobile racing at Mosport. Mosport was advised that there would again be sound monitoring of a rock concert and automobile races occurring over the May 18th week-end at Mosport and it was at that meeting that Mosport advised that there would be a different stage location for the Edenfest concert. 1.2 RECYCLED 1:%:\ PAPIEA ""'PER \t:I:J RECYCLE JIll'; IS PflINlL:O ON RECYClED P,f.P(R 2 1.3 Under date of June 10, 1996, Council was presented with Report # CD-31-96, (attachment A) advising that Staff was awaiting information from Mosport in support of their request for a special events permit regarding Edenfest Music Festival. 1.4 Under date of June 24, 1996, Council was presented with Report # CD-36-96, (attachment B) requesting permission to issue a special events permit for the Edenfest Music Festival upon receipt of all required documentation and clarification of the issue of parking. till .. .. ... ... 1.5 This report spelled out an agreement between the parties limiting the "acceptable" noise levels for both concerts and motor racing. It also addressed a number of actions to be taken by Mosport prior to the 1997 motor racing season that would see the reduction of noise levels from the .. oval track. 1.6 Representatives of the North Clarington Ratepayers Association appeared in deputation at the Council meeting of June 24, expressing concerns over .. the upcoming event with specifics to parking and noise. 1.7 On June 26, 1996, a public information meeting was held at the Tyrone Community Centre, with the Durham Regional Police presenting a safety plan .. to cover the event. 1.8 Under date of July 8, 1996, Council was presented with Report # CD-42-96, (attachment C) addressing by-law enforcement matters surrounding the ... Edenfest Music Festival. 1.9 .t'. Under the same date Council was presented with an addendum to Report # CD- 42-96, (attachment D) requesting approval of the expenditure of $18,000 from Contingency Account # 7007-X-298 to cover the cost of monitoring noise from the Edenfest concert, as well as costs of municipal employees who would be working to carry out by-law enforcement, and perform certain duties on behalf of the Municipality during the course of the event. 1.10 Council questioned the need of the Municipality paying the cost of monitoring noise from the concert, suggesting that such a cost should be paid by the promoter of the event. When asked the question, the municipal solicitor advised Council that the results of the monitoring of noise by the Municipality could be used in a court of law, should the Municipality decide to go to the courts regarding future events. After questioning the solicitor on this point, Council approved an expenditure not to exceed $18,000. 1.11 A number of meetings took place between the promoters and all of those departments involved in monitoring and working the event such as police, ambulance, fire, by-law, health, etc. It was at these meetings that the promoters presented the details of their program covering the event, and the different departments indicated what must be done to satisfy any concerns that they had in order that they would be able to "sign-off" prior to the Municipal Clerk issuing an event permit. It was also made clear as to what role the specific departments would play during the week- end of the festival in order to ensure a safe event with as little adverse impact as possible on the surrounding neighbourhood. 1.12 The Durham Regional Police provided a number of "pay-duty" police officers to the event with the promoters paying the cost of same. Both the "pay- duty", and "on-duty" officers carried out the normal policing of the event as well as traffic control of the surrounding roads during the time up to, during, and following the event. Municipal staff was responsible for by- law enforcement, illegal parking, the monitoring of noise from the IIIIlI .. .. .. IIIIlI - .. .. ... .. 1.13 During both the Edenfest concern, and the Warped Tour concert, two telephone lines were installed in Fire Station #5 (Enniskillen) at Mosport's cost. The Clerk's Office placed an advertisement in local papers (attachment E) providing information surrounding the Edenfest event as well as the telephone numbers of the municipal headquarters, on-site police of f ice, and Mosport' s community help lines., The promoters of Edenfest distributed an information flyer providing the same information throughout the neighbourhoods surrounding Mosport Park, (attachment F). 1.14 The Clerk's Office also placed an advertisement in the local papers prior to the Warped Tour providing the Community Help Lines telephone numbers (attachment G). - ... - - - - 3 concern, and fire protection. Through pre-event negotiations, the promoters paid the cost of erecting "no parking' signs on the municipal roads surrounding Mosport, as well as covering the cost of most staff during the event. - 2.0 THE EDENFEST MUSICAL FESTIVAL EVENT MUNICIPAL STAFF - 2.1 ... - 2.2 - - 3.0 3.1 - - - On the week-end of the Edenfest Music Festival, (Thursday to Sunday), fourteen members of the municipal staff worked on various shifts for the purpose of tagging and towing vehicles and enforcing the Hawkers/Peddler and Refreshment Vehicle By-laws. During that time the municipal "hotlines", established at Fire Station Five were manned by members of the Fire Department on Thursday, July 11, from noon to midnight, and Friday and Saturday from ten in the morning to midnight and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. On Thursday, July 11, sound measurements were being done in the communities surrounding Mosport Park, on a complaint basis. From 5 p.m. until midnight on Friday and Saturday, sound measurements were taken at four properties surrounding Mosport Park, as well as the "sound mixer", located in front of the stage, and in the community, on a complaint basis. These sound measurements were carried out by John Swallow Associates with assistance from municipal staff. PARKING Following a meeting with the North Clarington Ratepayer's Association on June 21, 1996, the promoters were advised that all parking for the concert must be accommodated on properly zoned land. It was brought to staff's attention that Mosport Park had acquired a piece of property directly south of the park on which all vehicles would be directed to park. upon checking the zoning, the promoter was advised that the land did not comply with the proper zoning to be used as a parking lot. Upon reviewing this news from staff, Mosport Park filed a rezoning application. As is the Municipality's practice, no charges were laid relating to the use of the property for parking as the application had been submitted. 4.1 4.0 TRAFFIC ... - ... ... The first problem surrounding the Edenfest Music Festival took place in the late afternoon, and early evening of Thursday, July 11. The original operational plan called for the opening of the major parking lots to be at noon on Thursday. Unfortunately, the parking lots were not opened until 8 p.m., creating a major traffic jam that plugged the community roadways leading to Mosport Park, and was the subject of a number of calls to the police event headquarters. .. 4 ... 5.1 5.0 RESIDENTIAL SECURITY ... 6.0 6.1 According to the Durham Regional Police Service, a number of calls received by them complained of the fact that the promoters had promised a number of residents that they would be supplied with private security for their residential property, and as of the Thursday evening, the security was not in place. We understand that this was apparently corrected later during the week-end. ... BY-LAW ENFORCEMENT ... The high profile of the municipal staff that worked the event was effective in controlling both illegal peddlers and illegal parking. Very few citations were issued over the week-end with only one vehicle being towed from the surrounding roads. .. 7.1 7.0 COMMUNITY HELP TELEPHONES ... As previously stated, municipal staff established a Clarington Command Post at Fire Station #5, and provided two Community Help telephone lines during the course of the event. Considering the magnitude of the event, there were very few calls registered over the course of the week-end. In the early stages of the event, the majority of calls related to ticket information and event passes. Complaints regarding by-law, traffic, and noise were passed on to the appropriate authorities. ... 8.1 8.0 NOISE MONITORING .. 8.2 8.3 9.0 9.1 AS previously stated, sound monitoring of the Edenfest Musical Festival was carried out at four specific locations surrounding Mosport Park, as well as at the "mixer board" in front of the stage and mobile units responding to specific complaints received by telephone. A copy of the preliminary report from John Swallow Associates, dated July 17 1996, is attached for Council's information (attachment H). .... IIIIlI During both the Friday and Saturday concerts very few noise complaints were received at the Community Help Lines. However, during both concerts calls were received from Mr. Lorne Butterfield who complained of excessive noise during both presentations. All complaints were checked out by mobile sound monitors and, on both nights, Mr. Swallow reported excess sound levels at the Butterfield property. This particular problem will be addressed prior to any future events. However, given the location and the construction of the Butterfield residence, this specific problem will be difficult to avoid. IIIIlI .. On reviewing the preliminary report of July 17, from Mr. Swallow, it can be seen that the promoters adhered to the agreed sound levels during the Friday concert but did not respond to municipal staff requests to reduce the sound level during the Saturday concert. ... EVENT CURFEW .. One of the items agreed to between the municipality and the promoters of the Edenfest Music Festival was that there would be a midnight curfew on all concerts being staged over the event week-end. The Friday night concert ended at midnight as per the agreement, however, as stated in the John Swallow Associates letter of July 17, the Saturday night concert went over the agreed curfew by thirty minutes. .. ... till .. - - 9.2 - - - 5 As a result of the excessive noise levels and the breaking of the agreed curfew, municipal staff advised both the promoters of the event, and the operators of Mosport Park, that municipal staff would not be recommending the issuance of a permit for the Warped Tour that was scheduled for July 27, 1996. On July 16, 1996, the Municipal Clerk wrote Mr. B. Kamin of Mosport confirming this decision and advising that, "We would like the opportunity to meet with you in an attempt to address this issue and to arrive at an agreement which can be guaranteed by the promoters of future events. Once this has been accomplished, the Municipality will once again consider the issuance of a licence." 10. POST EVENT CORRESPONDENCE 10.1 Following the Edenfest Music Festival, correspondence was received by the Mayor's office from Mr. Bernie Kirck of Pontypool, to which Mayor Hamre responded. Mr. and Mrs. Thomson of Kendal corresponded with the Chief Administrative Officer who replied directly to the Thomsons. - - 10.2 However, letters from Mr. Clay Taylor, Nellie Mereweather, and Gordon Mills, appeared on the Council agenda of September 25, 1996, and Council referred these letters to the Chief Administrative Officer to be addressed in the final report on the Edenfest Music Festival. - 10.3 We have attempted to address most of the items referred to in the above- mentioned letters. However, as there will be ongoing negotiations with the operators of Mosport Park before any permits are issued for 1997 events, we intend to address all of the specific questions during the course of these negotiations with a view of attempting to avoid a repeat of these problems, should future concerts take place at Mosport. As previously stated, fourteen municipal staff members worked the week-end of the Edenfest Music Festival performing specific duties of by-law enforcement and sound monitoring. Three union employees carried out their normal duties while the balance of the staff performed monitoring duties throughout the week-end. This staff offered services beyond their normal municipal duties and were paid an hourly rate based on an average salary of the group. The union employees were paid the normal overtime costs. 11.3 The total employee costs totalled $ 9,818.68. This, together with $14,910.45, covering the costs of John Swallow Associates, brought a total cost of $24,729.13 for the week-end. The $6,729,13 over and above the $18,000, previously approved by Council, was paid by Mosport. 11.4 The above amounts do not include costs paid by Mosport for works covering the erection of traffic signs and road clean up carried out by the Municipal Works Department, as previously reported to Council. - - 11. 11.1 - 11.2 ... - - - - - .. - MUNICIPAL COSTS On September 16, 1996, Council passed the following amendment to Resolution #C-701-96, "and that the report prepared by the Chief Administrative Officer address what tasks staff performed and a breakdown of actual costs to the municipality." 6 12 . 0 THE WARPED TOUR 12.1 Under date of July 8, 1996, Council received Report #CD-40-96, (attachment I), directing staff to issue a special events permit for the staging of a concert on July 27, 1996, known as the Warped Tour. 12.2 As previously stated, Municipal staff advised Mosport that as a result of the breaking of the agreements pertaining to the sound levels and curfew at the Edenfest concert, staff would not be issuing the Warped Tour permit. Upon receiving the Clerk's letter of July 16, 1996, Mr. Kamin of Mosport requested a meeting with staff to address the problems identified during the Edenfest concert. 12.3 On July 24, 1996, a meeting was held between Mosport and representatives of the police, ambulance, health, Public Works, the Municipal Clerk, and the Chief Administrative Officer, during which Mosport addressed the identified problems and presented a plan to ensure that those problems would not be repeated. As all of those in attendance were satisfied with the presentation, staff agreed to issue a permit for the Warped Tour on the agreement that representatives of John Swallow Associates would monitor the event, as well as the municipal telephone lines be put in place with all costs being covered by Mosport. The concert resulted in few problems. 13.0 FUTURE EVENTS 13.1 Prior to any permits being issued for 1997 motorsport or concert events, staff will be meeting with the operators of Mosport Park to address the commitments made by Mosport covering noise abatement policies. During these meetings, staff will address all of the issues brought forward by concerned citizens as a result of the 1996 entertainment program, in an attempt to ensure that these problems are not repeated in any future l-losport events. 13.2 Staff will continue to keep Council informed regarding these meetings and any future plans that the operators of Mosport may have pertaining to both motorsport events and concerts.

For the past number of months, municipal staff, including the municipal solicitor and John Swallow, have been meeting with representatives from both Mosport and the promoters that are staging the July 1996 event in an attempt to reach some type of agreement that would not only result in a modified level of noise from the July event, but would also see considerably less noise coming from all future car races being held on the oval track. iIIIII - As 'a result of these meetings, we have been successful in reaching an agreement that would limit the concert noise during the three day July event to sound levels at the Mosport property line between 60 and 70dBA, as shown on the attached chart (Attachment A). Assuming that these noise levels are not exceeded, the noise in the surrounding neighbourhood during a period of time between 9:30 p.m. and midnight, both Friday and Saturday, will not exceed the usual noise level of the oval, track. The balance of the time, noise will be less than experienced from the oval track. - - .. - As a result of this agreement, Mosport has committed to reducing the noise from the oval track by an average of 50 percent, starting in 1997, by means of demanding mufflers on all racing vehicles, and.the erection of noise barriers. - Swallow and Associates, along with municipal staff, will be attending the July event, monitoring .noise in the community. A communications network will be set up with the operators of the sound equipment during the event in order to ensure the noise will not exceed the levels agreed to. Meetings are also planned between the parties during the course of the weekend event. - - - All of these negotiations have been discussed between staff and the ratepayers in the Mosport area, who will be appearing in deputation at Council during consideration of the issuance of the permit. - Although this agreement does not totally solve the problem of noise in the community, staff is of the opinion that it is a step in the right direction to allow both Mosport and Lne municipality to continue to monitor the noise problems cuLd search for additional methods to overcome same. .. - .. .. ....

Certain items must be dealt with in order to prepare for the Concert. YourS how Productions have asked for the Municipality to consider enacting certain By-laws for the duration of the Concert. By-laws were requested to prohibit hawkers and pedlars, refreshment vehicles, camping on municipal land and to restrict and prohibit parking in the vicinity of Mosport Park. These items were referred to staff for consideration and report. Staff have reviewed the Municipality's current Hawker and Pedlar and Refreshment Vehicle By-laws. By-law 92 -230 presently prohibits all unlicensed hawkers and pedlars anywhere within the Municipality. Any person intending to sell goods requires a license issued by the Municipality. Without that license the vendor is subject to charges. If the vendor wishes to apply for a license to set up a booth or location to operate, it will be necessary for the vendor to find land which is zoned for commercial sales. The lands in the area of Mosport Park are zoned agricultural, and therefore do not meet the required licensing criteria. The same holds true for any refreshment vehicles. Staff are not able to control camping on private land, however, any camping on municipal land will be dealt with as a trespassing offence. This leaves the matters related to parking. The Concert organizers have asked staff for permission to use an area at the north west corner of the Mosport property for overflow staff parking. This property is part of Mosport's holdings. It is the same area that the Regional Police will be using for their Mobile Command Post and parking for their own vehicles. Staff therefore ~~~~~~~~e a concern with this use. n.1S1S Pl'llWlD~WCVa.rOPA1"i," - - .. - - - - - - .. Report CD-42-96 Page 2 ...

July 12th - 14th Dear Bill: - Sound levels from the EDEN Concert were measured at the mixer locations infield and at four lot line locations on both Friday & Saturday evenings, July 12th & 13th. Additional data was taken Sunday evening at the mixer location and at one of the lot line locations. - - In this preliminary report we will concern ourselves only with the highest levels measured, which were typically at the west lot line, at the Baker residence. Our concern was with measuring the maximum A-weighted Slow sound level as per the agreement with Mosport. Since the sound levels measured were due to rock music coming from the EDEN Concert the sound levels tended to vary depending on whether the main stage or the secondary stage was used (sound levels from the secondary stage were generaIly less at the lot line). Also, the particular musical number being played, breaks, intermissions and weather all affected the sound levels. - - - On the Friday evening, at the Baker location we found that the sound levels were generaIly less than 70 dBA but that within any g!v~n two rr.inute period thef/;~ was llsually one occasion when the sound level went above 70 dBA usuaIly to 72 or 73 and on rare occasions 75 dBA. On more than one occasion we spoke to John Coulter Associates staff who, in turn, called to the mixer requesting the sound levels be turned down and, indeed, we found the sound levels did reduce over the next several minutes. On the Friday evening the wind was generally from the east and thus caused higher sound levels on the west location, Baker, and lower sound levels on the east location, Kreblj. The rock music ended just at midnight. - ... - On Saturday July 12th, also at the Baker location the sound levels in the early part of the evening were similar to those measured on the Friday evening. The wind also was from the east. Later in the evening, between approximately 23:00 hr and 23:30 hr the wind changed from being perhaps - - JOHN SWALLOW ASSOCIATES 250 Galaxy Boulevard Etobicoke, Ontario Canada M9W 5R8 Telephone 416.798.0522 Fax 416.213.1079 - SWALL1)W .. .. 5 to 10 km/h east wind to approximately 5 km!h west wind. During this time the sound levels at .. the Baker location dropped significantly with the maximum values being between 55 and 59. However, at approximately 23:30 hr the wind again changed to being an east wind and the sound levels increased. However, the sound levels increased to higher levels than had been previously till recorded and between 23:36 hr and 24:00 hr the maximum values were on the order of 79 to 83 dBA. The levels were typically over 70 dBA for several minutes at a time. Several requests were made through to the mixer to reduce the sound levels but there was no evidence that the sound III levels actuaIly were reduced. On Saturday night the concert stopped briefly at 24:00 hr but shortly resumed and continued on .. until 00:30 hr, i.e. one half hour after midnight. The maximum sound levels during this time wel e i.)'pi~aIIy 75 to S 1. dBAani.hvC'ce greater than 70 for extended perioos of time: The cOllcen stopped at 00:30 hr. .. On Sunday July 14th sound levels were monitored in the early evening until approximately 19:40 hr.

In recent elections, the final results have taken up to four or five hours to tabulate following the close of the polls, due to the manual count system currently used by the Municipality. Because of the number of offices, the number of candidates for the various offices and the multiplicity of forms and procedures required under the Municipal Elections Act, it is extremely difficult to have election results any sooner. The only solution is to automate the vote tabulating process. .. .. .. .. .. .. ... ... Automated vote tabulation equipment has been in use in Ontario for many years and there are a number of different systems that have been approved by the Province, .- which essentially fall into two different categories--punch cards and optical scanners. The punch card system is the older of the two systems. With this system, the ballot is slipped into a special holder that lists the offices and the candidates. The candidates' names do not appear on the ballot. The elector, using a stylus, punches the stylus into the hole opposite the candidate of his/her choice. The ballot is punched by this procedure. At the close of the poll, the ballots are transported to a central count area where they are removed from the ballot box and fed into an automatic vote tabulator. Over the years, the punch card system has fallen out of favour with most election administrators due to problems encountered with accuracy of the counting system caused when chafe remains attached to the ballot after the ballot is punched. Also, as the candidate's name is not printed on the ballot, reconstructing the election for purposes of a recount becomes difficult. Optical scanner systems involve the elector marking the ballot with a black marker much in the same manner as they do now. The ballot is then fed into the tabulating .. .. ... ... .. IIIIlI .. .. .. .. - Report CD-61-96 Page 3 - - unit, either at the polling place or a central tabulating area, and the votes are immediately counted. A tape is produced with the final election results. The optical scanner systems currently available fall into one of two categoriesueither a poll count system or a central count system. The poll count system tabulates the votes at the polling place when the poll closes. The DRO simply presses a couple of buttons and a tape is produced with the final results. These results are then transmitted to election central either by telephone or modem. Final election results are Report generally known and posted within 20 or 30 minutes after the close of the polls. The central count system requires the election personnel to transport the ballots to a central tabulating centre where they are run through a machine and counted. The central count system takes somewhat longer than the poll county system to produce the final election results. - - - - - - .. Until recently, the purchase of automatic vote tabulating equipment has been too expensive for most Ontario municipalities to even consider. It has been difficult to justify the purchase when the equipment is used only once every three years. As municipal elections are run every year in the United States, most companies in the automatic vote tabulating business are U.S. based. American municipalities can more readily justify the equipment purchase based on the frequency of its use. Global Election Systems, Inc., a Canadian company based in Vancouver, with offices in Toronto and Albuquerque, New Mexico, offers a unique proposal to address the Ontario and Canadian situations. Local municipalities in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario elect their councils in different calendar years. Global Election Systems, Inc., has therefore devised a partnership plan between municipalities in different provinces. The way this partnership works is that the Municipality of Clarington would acquire half of the automatic vote tabulators required for its election purposes and Global Election Systems, Inc., would then provide a partner of a similar size in another Province. Each partner loans the other their voting equipment for the once every three year municipal elections. The municipalities are guaranteed that the - - - - .. - - - .. .. Report CD-61-96 Page 4 .. required number of vote tabulators necessary to conduct the election will be available. Between elections, each municipality retains its own equipment for use in by-elections, public opinion polls, etc. This plan cuts equipment costs in half. .. .. The system Global Election Systems, Inc., markets is the Election System 2000 (ES- 2000) optical scan voting system, which is a complete voting system featuring management control of the voting process from ballot preparation to verification of results. lilt .. ... The system embodies three voting system characteristics that are of paramount importance to election administrators, ie: .. . the candidate's name appears on the ballot .. . the ballots are counted at the polling place producing poll level results and not transported to a central location for tabulation .. .. · provides the user with a clear and distinct audit trail ... Other advantages of the ES-2000 system include: ... . Accuracy - Using paper ballots, the Accu-Vote tabulates permanent, physical records of each elector's votes or choices. This permanent, physical record of a cast ballot not only assures voting system integrity, but facilitates the total reconstruction of an election for recount purposes. rttI ... . Security - The system features management control over all facets of the election administrative process from ballot layout to certification of the final official results. This environment is created through a user defined ... .. .. .. - - - . - . - - - - .. - - - - - - - .. - - Report CD-61-96 Page 5 combination of passwords, security levels and physical lock outs. Transportability - Compact and lightweight, the automatic vote tabulators can be easily transported to and from the polling places. User Friendly - Poll workers can master the Accu-Vote with minimal training and they do not need to have any prior computer experience to conduct an election. Following a two hour training session, the poll workers will be able to set up and conduct an election with confidence. . Voter Acceptability - Voters mark their ballots exactly as they would a paper ballot, that is by indicating their preference in the space beside the candidate and/or issue response of their choice. The name-on-ballot technique allows a voter to review his or her final selections before the ballot is tabulated. The system is easy for voters to use. . Cost Effectiveness - After the initial capital equipment expenditure, elections are less expensive to run. The system can accommodate significantly more electors per poll resulting in reduced election expenses because of a significant reduction in the number of polling places, election personnel, forms and supplies. . Speed - The system can read one ballot in less than half a second. Election results are almost immediate and the results posted on election night are the final results. . Modem Capability - Once the polls have closed, election results"from each polling place are instantaneously transmitted over a standard telephone line to the election central computer by modem. This feature eliminates the possibility of key punch error when entering the results on the main computer system. Report CD-61-96 Page 6 . Ballot Analysis - This feature can greatly reduce the number of rejected ballots. The system will detect "over-voting" and "blank ballots" and will reject same. If, in the example of an "over-voted" ballot where an elector was supposed to vote for three school trustees and actually voted for four, the system can be programmed to return the ballot the elector and a small LCD (liquid crystal display) readout on the automatic vote tabulator will indicate an "over-vote" in a particular race. The manner in which the ballot is rejected from the tabulator still ensures the confidentiality of the vote, but gives the elector an opportunity. to receive a new ballot. If the elector chooses not to accept a new ballot, the election official at the polling place can override the "over-vote" feature and the tabulator will accept the ballot, count the votes that have been correctly marked and not count the votes for the over counted office. The tabulator keeps track of any such ballots and these are shown on the print out at the close of the poll. . Poll Definition - The software for the ES-2000 system allows for the definition of ward and poll information during ballot preparation, thereby making one tabulator capable of reading different ballots from different wards and polls and maintaining separate counts for each. Only one automatic vote tabulator in each polling place is required. The one machine is capable of counting all the types of ballots and tabulating the results quickly and accurately. MUNICIPAL IMPACT: With the present system of manual count, the Municipal Elections Act limits the Municipality to polls of no more than 500 electors. In reality, the number of electors is limited to approximately 200 to 250 per poll to expedite the vote tabulation. Under .. .. .. .. ... .. ... .. .. .. .. iii .. .. .. .. .. ... ... .. Report CD-61-96 Page 7 - .. an automated system, there is no limit of electors. In order to avoid line ups at the poll and alleviate parking problems at the polling places, it is suggested that polls would be limited to approximately 1000 electors. Some Ontario municipalities using automatic systems have polling subdivisions of upwards of 3000 electors with no difficulty. - - .. Based on the 1994 statistics, we would be able to reduce the number of polls in the Municipality from 118 to 45 (approximately) using an automated voting system. The number of polling places could be reduced from 30 to 18. Accordingly, the number of election personnel could be reduced by approximately 50 percent from the current 250 level. While some electors may have a greater distance to travel to their polling place, significant cost savings would be realized by reducing the number of polls, polling places and election personnel through the use of an automated voting system. .. .. .. .. - During the 1994 municipal elections, the Town of Ajax used the ES-2000 optical scan voting system. The first poll reported in at 8:04 p.m. and the final results were in at 8:20 p.m. Election operating costs were reduced by 60 percent using the automatic vote tabulator. .. - The Town of Whitby has approved a recommendation of the Clerk to purchase the equipment for the 1997 municipal elections and the Town of Pickering is currently considering the equipment acquisition also. - ..

Although the initial capital investment is significant, it is quickly offset by costs savings. Global Election Systems, Inc., advises that the pay back period for converting from a manual count system to an automated vote tabulating process would be three elections (earlier if there were any by-elections).

BACKGROUND: .. 1.3 2.0 2.1 2.2 1.0 Fee for Supplementary Assessment ... 1.1 In 1994, the Province began charging municipalities for transactions related to assessments coming on stream after the current year assessment roll has been struck (supplementary assessments). ... 1.2 The Province did not implement these charges through legislative amendment. Consequently there was no legal channel for the fees to be passed along to the Region or the School Boards. ... In 1995, the Region of Durham, as requested by Council, voluntarily included their proportional share of the fees. The School Board did not respond positively to the same request. ... .. Bill 26 .. Bill 26 introduced in 1996, allows under Schedule M, Section 220, municipalities to charge user fees. The Ministry of Municipal Mfairs has advised verbally that invoicing and cost recovery under this method is appropriate. .. It is recommended that the two Clarington Boards of Education be invoiced in 1997 based on the budgeted expenditure. Once actual costs are determined, adjustments can be made by invoicing or refunding any difference. .. .. 3.0 Charge Backs 3.1 ... Preliminary discussions with the Ministry of Municipal Mfairs suggest that properties giving rise to the charges can be billed directly for the fee that is subsequently charged to the Municipality. Staff will continue discussions and if eligible will consider the best way to recover the charge, possibly by invoicing or by adding directly to the tax bill as an additional or special charge. Because the fee was not introduced as a tax, although it is directly linked to realty taxes, the municipality may not be able to add the charge to the tax bill and collect it "as taxes", it may be that if it is allowed it would be collected "in the manner" and as such it does not have the same priority or status as taxes. This may significant reduce the potential for recovery. .. .. .. .. ... lilt ...

LOCATION 2.1 The subject lands are located at the south-east corner of the intersection of Highway NO.2 and Green Road and are more formally known as Part of Lot 16, Concession 1 in the former Township of Darlington (see Attachment #1). 3. BACKGROUND 3.1 The subject lands are located in the Bowmanville West Main Central Area and have been the subject of an Ontario Municipal Board hearing. Official Plan Amendment No. 56 to the Official Plan of the former Town of Newcastle and the implementing Zoning By-law were approved by the OMB. The policies of Amendment No. 56 were subsequently incorporated into the Bowmanville West Main Central Area Secondary Plan as contained in the Clarington Official Plan. 3.2 Markborough Properties has applied to seek relief from Sections 5.2.1 a) i) a) and 5.2.1 a) i) b) of the Bowmanville West Main Central Area Secondary Plan and Section 16.5.14 d) i) of Zoning By-law 84-63. These sections require the department store and the supermarket to be constructed prior to any commercial uses being established on the site. This, in effect, requires both the Department Store and the Supermarket to be constructed and occupied at the same time. In addition)no other retail commercial uses will be allowed until the above happens first. The applications propose to allow commercial uses if the department store 617 ... .. .. ... .. ... .. ... "'" "'" "'" ... .. till till ... ...

The application was subsequently revised to allow commercial uses provided "a building permit is issued" for the department store and supermarket as opposed to "lawfully under construction". - - - 3.3 The provisions of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law which require both the department store and the supermarket to be constructed prior to any commercial use being permitted on the site were imposed by Council to ensure that the applicants would actually construct a department store, as had been represented to Council by Markborough. This requirement has acted as a strong incentive to ensure that the applicant had completed its arrangements with both a prospective department store and supermarket store. Due to the current construction program and the subdividing of the site into separate parcels of land, the applicant is seeking relief from the requirement of having both stores fully constructed at the same time. .. - .. .. - 4. PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS 4.1 This Public Meeting will serve to satisfy the requirements of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as amended by Bill 20, with respect to both the official plan amendment application and the zoning by-law amendment application. 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 Green Road and Highway No. 2 frontages. - .. - - 4.2 In addition, a copy of the proposed amendment was available for public viewing in the offices of the Planning and Development Department 20 days prior to this .. meeting of the General Purpose and Administration Committee. - 4.3 As a result of the public notification process, staff have received two counter - 618 - REPORT NO.: PD-161-96 PAGE 4 inquiries. The first inquiry was from a Green Road resident who requested more detailed information with respect to the proposed amendment. The second inquiry was from the owner of property located at the south-west corner of Highway No. 2 and Regional Road 57. The property owner, Mr. Harry Locke, requested detailed information in order to determine any impacts upon the development potential of his holdings. 5. AGENCY COMMENTS 5.1 A limited circulation of the proposal was undertaken since both the applications contemplated limited amendments to the text of the documents. The proposal was circulated to both the Regional Planning Department and the Municipality of Clarington Public Works Department. Neither of these agencies raised concerns or objections with respect to the proposal. 6. STAFF COMMENTS 6.1 At the time of the consideration of the Markborough application, one of the Municipality's primary objectives was to ensure the construction of a Department Store, as they had represented to Council. Initially, Markborough was requested to submit a letter of credit to be held until such time as the Department Store was constructed. Markborough Properties indicated that they could not make a financial commitment, particularly in view of the pending Ontario Municipal Board hearing. As an alternative, the following provisions were made: . policies were added to the Official Plan and zoning by-law to prohibit any commercial use of the site until a department store and supermarket are constructed; and . the subdivision agreement included a clause which states that if Markborough or subsequent landowners do not commence construction of a Department Store within 4 years from the date of final approval 619 .. .. lilt ... ... ... .. .. .. ... .. .. ... ... ... .. .. .. ... - REPORT NO.: PD-161-96 PAGE 5 - - (February 23, 2000), they will not object to the Municipality downzoning their lands and reallocating up to 200,000 sq. ft. of commercial floorspace to other lands in the Main Central Area and shall take all necessary actions to terminate the site plan approval. - - 6.2 Under the provisions of both the Clarington Official Plan and Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, the requirement for both the Department Store and the Supermarket to be constructed prior to occupancy and use of any commercial floorspace does not allow for the staged construction of the shopping centre. The proponent is concerned because they have not been able to ensure that the IPCF (Supermarket) and Zellers building program coincide. Therefore, there is the prospect that the IPCF Supermarket would be constructed but could not be occupied for use until the Zellers store was completed. This is increasingly a problem since Markborough intends to sell a portion of the site to IPCF and possibly to Zellers. The result is that Markborough increasingly has less control of the development schedule of various portions of the site. .. .. .. .. - - 6.3 The traditional shopping centre was originally promoted by Markborough as a single owner enterprise with anchor tenants and smaller retailers. It is evolving into a multi-owner project as Markborough proceeds to divide the land holding into several parcels. This is apparently necessary for Markborough to respond to the changing retail environment. As the Municipality will be dealing with multiple owners in the future development of the shopping centre, it becomes apparent that the current Official Plan policies will be difficult to implement. In this regard, staff have no objection to the proposed change to the Official Plan. It would allow some flexibility to the various landowners of the subdivided plaza site to obtain financing and schedule their construction timetable so that the Supermarket could open prior to the Department Store or vice versa. - .. .. - - - 6.4 The proposed amendment does not significantly affect the Municipality's objective - - 62'0 REPORT NO.: PD-161-96 PAGE 6 to ensure that a Department Store is constructed in Bowmanville. Building permits must be issued for both stores before either one of them or any other commercial use can occupy a store. It also does not alter any financial commitment previously made by Markborough. In fact, the commitments made by Markborough are now a strong incentive to complete the development. Further, there is no change in the use of land nor would the proposed amendment offend the intent of the Clarington Official Plan. In the remote event the Department Store is not constructed by February 23, 2000, the Municipality has the option of downzoning the site. 7. CONCLUSION 7.1 In consideration of the comments contained in this report, staff do not object to the approval of both Amendment No. 1 to the Clarington Official Plan and the attached zoning by-law amendment. Staff advise that the adoption of the Official Plan Amendment is subject to a fee of $1,000.00, exclusive of the GST, of which $500 is required to submit the application to the Region for approval.

ATTACHMENT #2 AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE CLARINGTON OFFICIAL PLAN A 200,000 square foot shopping centre is approved for lands on the south-east corner of Highway NO.2 and Green Road. The existing provisions of Section 5.2.1 of the Bowmanville West Main Central Area Secondary Plan requires that prior to occupancy by any retail or personal service use, a Department Store and a Food Store (Supermarket) must be constructed. The purpose of this amendment is to allow the staged construction and occupancy of the shopping centre. It would permit the occupancy of retail stores, provided that the Department Store and a Food Store (Supermarket) either have been constructed or that building permits have been issued for their construction. The amendment is based upon an application submitted by 829426 Ontario Inc. (COPA 96-002). The Bowmanville West Main Central Area Secondary Plan, being a portion of the Clarington Official Plan, is hereby amended by: i) in Section 5.2.1 a) i) a), after the words "is constructed" add the words "or a building permit has been issued for its construction. and a valid building permit remains outstanding." ii) in Section 5.2.1 a) i) b), after the words "is constructed" add the words "or a building permit has been issued for its construction and a valid building permit remains outstanding."

REPORT: 1. BACKGROUND: At its meeting held on November 25, 1996, Council tabled General Purpose and Administration recommendation respecting Report PD-155-96. The tabling was made to allow the Director sufficient time to request and negotiate financial contribution from Kaitlin Group to undertake the Wilmot Creek Nature Reserve Management Plan. 2. COMMENTS: Subsequent to my discussion with Mr. Daniel of Kaitlin Group, he advised that he is prepared to offer a $5,000. contribution towards the cost of the Wilmot Creek Nature Reserve Management Plan Study with no strings attached. Copy of his ADDENDUM TO REPORT NO.: PD-155-96 PAGE 2 letter is attached herein. Mr. Daniel recognizes the significant cost saving benefits having the municipal Nature Reserve Plan and the Environmental Impact Study for his proposed development prepared by the same consultant as the background data and information can be shared by both studies. In addition, he is aware of the potential benefits of the Nature Reserve Management Plan which, in conjunction with his proposed golf course, would provide a valuable marketing tool for his housing development. 3. Upon Council's approval of Report PD-155-96 and the Addendum Report, staff will proceed to tender both studies to those consultants listed on the approved roster. The selection of the consultant for the Nature Reserve Management Plan will require Council's approval and will be subject to a subsequent report. The Environmental Impact Study for the Kaitlin land will be paid for by the developer and no further approval by Council is required. 4. As both studies are to be contracted out to the same consultant in order to achieve cost-effectiveness, it is imperative that both studies proceed simultaneously.

It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: THAT Report PD-155-96 be received; THAT Staff be authorized to issue the Request of Proposal for the Wilmot Creek Nature Reserve Environmental Management Plan and report back with a recommended consultant; THAT an Advisory Committee for the Wilmot Creek Nature Reserve be established with the membership identified in this Report; THAT Council appoint a member of Council to sit on the Advisory Committee; and THAT the existing lease arrangements with the tenant farmers in the Wilmot Creek Nature Reserve be terminated as of May 31, 1997 and the Property Manager be authorized to negotiate the revised lease arrangements with the tenant farmers as indicated in the Report. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 In November 1995, Council authorized the. purchase of 85 acres on either side of the Wilmot Creek valley from Ontario Hydro. In May 1996, the Municipality received title to the lands. The lands were purchased because they possess provincially significant environmental features rarely found along the Lake Ontario shoreline. See Attachment 1. Section 4.6.4. of the Clarington Official Plan suggests that the Municipality will explore the possibility of establishing a nature reserve in the Wilmot Creek area 628 " \ ' J REPORT NO. PD-155-96 PAGE 2 ... In order to preserve the many significant features of this area and to permit public access and use of this site, we recommend the preparation of a Nature Reserve Environmental Management Plan. .. ... 1.2 The Kaitlin Group has submitted development applications for Phase 2 of the Port .. of Newcastle Neighbourhood. A portion of the development proposes over 600 residential units and a nine hole golf course. The site is adjacent to the ... Newcastle Marsh and Foster Creek. According to Section 4.3.8 of the Clarington Official Plan, an Environmental Impact Study is required. The EIS will require an .. examination of the wetland function of Newcastle Marsh. ... 1.3 The purpose of this report is to provide Council with a framework for the future of the Wilmot Creek Nature Reserve. This Report will: ... a) provide a brief overview of the proposed approach for managing the nature ... b) reserve; briefly describe the Request for Proposal for an Environmental Management Plan; describe a joint study approach for the Wilmot Creek Nature Reserve Environmental Management Plan and The Kaitlin Group's Environmental Impact Study for Phase 2A of the Port of Newcastle Neighbourhood; and discuss the current lease arrangements with tenant farmers. ... IIIIi c) .. d) .. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 One goal of the Clarington Official Plan is to maintain significant natural habitats within the Municipality for future generations. Council's purchase of the lands surrounding the Wilmot Creek valley reflects a commitment to this goal. Despite this acquisition, there is no plan for the future use and management of these lands. At the present time, a portion is being used by tenant farmers, Waterfront Trail users and fishermen. Also all-terrain motorized vehicles use the site; they not only threaten the safety of trail users. but damage the natural habitat.

PD-155-96 PAGE 3 preparation of a plan that seeks to allow passive recreational uses while protecting significant areas is paramount. The Plan should provide for public education regarding the significance of this area and the need to protect it. Prompting community interest can be beneficial in its future development and management. An excellent example is the Friends of the Second Marsh. The goal of the Second Marsh Management Plan is to preserve the natural habitat and other important values of the Marsh while providing passive recreational needs, nature interpretation and tourism. However, any use is considered only to the extent that it does not degrade the Second Marsh. By developing such a vision, the Friends of the Second Marsh have been able to enhance and protect the marsh. They have also created community-wide interest in the site, field professionals and non-technical people have volunteered their skills, expertise and time in various projects. Private and corporate sponsorships have also been secured. It is staff's opinion that management of the Oshawa Second Marsh serves as a good model for the Wilmot Creek Nature Reserve. In so doing, it will meet the objectives of preserving a significant natural area, raise public awareness and prompt the community to take an active role in its management. A Community Advisory Committee would have an important role in developing a management plan, raising public awareness, spearheading fundraising and otherwise implementing the Management Plan. 3. WILMOT CREEK NATURE RESERVE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 3.1 With all park properties, the Municipality prepares a Master Plan to govern the adevelopmene of the park. However, the recommended approach for the Wilmot Creek Nature Reserve is the preparation of an Environmental Management Plan. This is the most appropriate mechanism to balance the objectives of preservation, protection and enhancement of the wetland and the surrounding ecosystem while at the same time allowing for an appropriate level of public access to the site. 630 ,. REPORT NO. PD-155-96 PAGE 4 A Request for Proposal for an Environmental Management Plan has been prepared (See Attachment 2). The Plan will provide guidance to Council and the community by meeting the following objectives: a) to identify the environmental features and recreational potential of the Wilmot Creek Nature Reserve; b) to review the potential human impacts including those resulting from the developing residential communities to the east and west of the study area; c) to design the key components to promote the protection, conservation and regeneration of the area; d) to establish a schedule for implementation; and e) to stimulate community involvement in protecting and enhancing the Wilmot Creek Nature Reserve. 3.2 Study Components Phase I - Background Phase I involves the assembly of a background information for the Study Area. Phase II - The Concept Plan During Phase II, a Concept Plan will be prepared which identifies specific zones for protection, reforestation, natural habitat restoration and public access. Specific theme areas will be developed to interpret the significant natural features of the Nature Reserve. Phase III - The Action Plan There are three components to the Action Plan. They are as follows: a) identifying specific details to be implemented in each zone. Key features for protection, restoration works, public access and amenities will be identified in appropriate zones. Construction details, cost estimates for each and construction mitigation measures shall also be included. . b) identifying priorities for implementation; and 631 ... .. ... ... .. ... ... lIllII lIllII .. .. .. ... lIllII .. filii ... ... ... ... ...

A workshop with major landowners and local - interest groups will be conducted. The Consultant will be required to present a draft of the Environmental Management Plan to the general public. The final - recommended Plan will also be presented to Council in a public forum. - In addition, it is recommended that an Advisory Committee be established consisting of staff from technical agencies and various interest groups. The Advisory Committee would provide for the sharing of information, give direction to the consultant and expedite the input of key agencies and the community. It is proposed that the Advisory Committee consist of the following representatives: - - ..

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Ontario Hydro are supportive of this initiative however they are unable to provide financial assistance to complete the study. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Ganaraska Conservation Authority are willing to provide existing documentation and technical support.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY - PORT OF NEWCASTLE PHASE 2 4.1 The Kaitlin Group is required to undertake an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) for Phase 2A of the Port of Newcastle Neighbourhood. (See Attachment 3) The applicant proposes alternative uses of a golf course or residential development within 120 metres of a provincially significant wetland. ~ 4.2 The EIS Guidelines were approved by Council on October 15th and authorizes staff to develop a roster of three or four consulting firms to prepare Environmental Impact Studies. The results of the Expression of Interest will be presented to Council for selection in December. Only those consultants on the roster will be invited by the Municipality to submit proposals for individual Environmental Impact Studies. The EIS Guidelines require the developer to submit a unconditional letter of credit to the Municipality to cover the costs of the study. The Director of Planning and Development is authorized to select the consultant. The EIS Steering Committee will prepare the Terms of Reference for the study. 4.3 The Nature Reserve and Phase 2A of Port of Newcastle are located adjacent to one another. The sites are ecologically connected. In order to minimize resources, time and costs, The Kaitlin Group and Staff have agreed to combine efforts by using the same consulting . firm to prepare the Environmental 633 .. ... wi. .. .. .. ... ... ... .. ... ..

The Kaitlin Group have indicated concurrence with this process (See Attachment # 4). - - - - 5. TENANT FARMERS 5.1 At the present time, the lands purchased by the Municipality are being cultivated by two tenant farmers. The Municipality had retained the leases from Ontario Hydro. The licences can be terminated within six months of notifying the tenants or new lease arrangements can be entered into with the Municipality. - - - Various crops have been planted on the site but in 1996 most of the land was cropped with corn. There is no doubt that a number of herbicides and pesticides have been used. Sufficient time is required to allow the soil to rest before proceeding with enhancement projects or other features of the Management Plan. The lands south of the hydro corridor are closest to the marsh and would be the first phase for implementation of the Plan. Staff recommend that the tenants be notified to vacate the lands south of the hydro corridor within six months, being May 31, 1997. The lands north of the corridor can continue to be cultivated until the Municipality is prepared to proceed with subsequent phases of the Management Plan. The lands north of the hydro corridor will require new lease arrangements with the Municipality. Staff are seeking authorization for the Property Manager to negotiate the new lease arrangements. - - - - - .. - 6. CONCLUSIONS 6.1 The Municipality's acquisition of the Wilmot Creek area has ensured that a significant environmental resource is in public ownership.

INTRODUCTION The Province of Ontario and the Municipality of Clarington have identified Wilmot Creek as being significant for the Lake Ontario waterfront. The creek south of Highway 401 and the surrounding riparian community contains rare and sensitive natural features and is recognized as an Area of Natural and Scientific Interest. The Newcastle Marsh, at the mouth of Wilmot Creek is a provincially significant wetland. The valley is owned by the Ministry of Natural Resources and designated as a Provincial fishing area. - There are a number of man-made influences in the Wilmot Creek area, including a hydro transmission corridor, water main easement, and a water pollution control plant. A portion of the Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail bisects the valley from east to west. The Wilmot Creek Retirement Community lies to the west of the site, occupying approximately 600 homes. The lands to the east are owned by the Kaitlin Group, who recently received approval to build 364 homes. Kaitlin has also submitted development applications for 636 residential units and a nine hole golf course for the second phase of development. New improvements to the Port of Newcastle Marina are also anticipated. Recognizing that development pressures in the Wilmot Creek watershed will stress the biological carrying capacity of Wilmot Creek, the Clarington Official Plan suggests that the Wilmot Creek area be preserved as a Nature Reserve. In May 1996, the Municipality of Clarington purchased 85 acres on either side of the Wilmot Creek valley. A preliminary Concept Plan was prepared during the Municipality's negotiation for the acquisition of the lands. The Plan provides a visual impression of the lands as a Nature Reserve. See Attachment #1. In order to preserve the biological integrity of this area, an Environmental Management Plan shall be prepared. The Plan must strike a balance between protecting and enhancing the wetland, shoreline and surrounding ecosystems while allowing public access to the less sensitive portions of the lands. The information generated from this process will be used in the creation of a watershed plan for the Wilmot Creek in the future. The Plan shall be developed with public participation and shall encourage an interest in this area, financial support for improvements and prompt community pride. 637 iii .. .. ... ... .. .. .. .. .. ... .. .. .. ... .. ... 1 ... ... - - 2. - - STUDY AREA The study area includes all lands between Cobbledick Road and Toronto Street, south of the Canadian National Railway to Lake Ontario.

Re: Environmental Impact Study 'Port of Newcastle' Phase II 08T-96013) .. Thank you for your letter of October 29, 1996 on the above-noted matter, As I had indicated in my discussions with you, it would seem prudent to attempt to combine both the Environmental Impact Study, which we understand is required for the Phase II 'Port of Newcastle , development, along with the Municipality's own 'Envirorunental Management Plan' now being undertaken. ... ... Although we believe that the background studies required for the 'Port of Newcastle' should be rather straightforward, there should be some economies of scale enjoyed by both parties jf one consultant is engaged for both components. ... We understand that the costs would be identified separately in the consultant proposals. As you had confinned in our conversation, the Port of Newcastle EIS could be completed and adopted, notwithstanding that the 'Environmental Management Plan' may require additional time and resources to complete, .. .. Therefore, subject to the above understanding, we would agree that the Municipality should include both studies in the Request for Proposal now being prepared. .. We appreciate your consideration in making this proposal which should result in cost savings to both ourselves and the Municipality. .. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you wish to discuss this matter further. ... Yours very truly, .. vin Whalen, P.

U L,l".I Lt ... .:....:..U The Honourable AI Leach Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing 717 Bay Street, 17th Floor Toronto, Ontario MSG 2ES I ALE No. \ MAWffSG TiCE - ~ Dear MiniSler: It is with considerable COTlcem that I write to you about the recent introduction 0: Bill 98. De.velopment Charges Act, 1996. The government's announcement took the municipal sector by surprise in terms of cc nt.enl aIld. timing. The Crombie Panel's ongoi11g work to clarify provincial - 1'Tlunicipall'csponsib llicies and how they should be financed ret1~t the m~nicipal sector and government's pcrspc ctive that municipalities can and should have the autonomy and authority to manage the buslnc:.s of local government. This Bill is contrary to these stated intentions aIld has prompted the munic pal sector to reflect upon the govemmenL<;' commitment to permissive legislation that gives munici] -alitics the l1ccessary flexibility to manage local circumstances. In May of this year, AM:O wrote to you advising that there was an absolute conl;ensus a: nongst the municipal sector that development eha.rgc.~ are vital to the financing of services nece lsilate.d by growth. We recommended that the legislation should not be tompercd with outside of I he process to con[i.rm provincial-mun;cipal responsibilities, and particularly, UJltil we had a full a.,preciatlon of the impacts that any proposed changes would bring. You agreed and put the dcvelopm ~nt ch"rges matter on the Who Does \\That Panel's agenda. Their recommendation, released to you. or. November 8th, indicates "thal. th" range of services <md associated capital cosLS that can lie included a.rc reasonable and fair:' a.nd \hat "municipalities should continue to decide on t~ Ie level of development charges in O\ccordance with the Act." While we recognize the govemme: It's right to make decisions. moving ahead on this Bill brings the Crombie Panel process into qU~~ Lion. A.\ilO and the Province have a mutual goal, to ensure stable and adequate local fin Ulces. The introduction of Bill 98 was not accompanied by any analysis of the finaUl::ial conse luenccs ror p1'operty taxes or changes in service levels. such as fire and police protection, matters tllal we think have significance for both existing and new tax payers. II appear:; that the cl.Jmulal ive irnpcl.cL'i relar.ed LO the shifts in service delivery and financing have not been considered. If this :malysis n61S b~en undertaken, we urge you to share this infonna1..ion with the municipal sector. .../2 _ ...., _.. _., (':..... 1<011 f \ C"l",)('\_ -;.::;: ;.-, 12/04/96 11'.14 db ~905 896 5879 MAYOR: ~_,O~~~CE.. _ _:.._.. _~~RINGTONMAYOR _ ~ O!l? /.0.07 VL..U Itw'L ~u .tVi' ....,.0...1 IU~ The Hon.

AMO has been meeting with the Urban Development Institute (lID!) oyer thE last couple of months in ~ponse to your stated intention to amend the Development Charges ACl Areas of discU<ision hav~ been what constitutes gro~..tb.-rclated costs and how to improve the acCOUT: ~ability and transparency for reporting development charges. AMO has had an opportunity to consult v.rith its members and has met on several occasior s to discuss the matter with the GT A Mayors and the Regional Chairs. r want to provide you with a synopsis of these discussions. Firstly, let me say that there is an absolute consensus amongst the municipal sector that c ~vclopmcnt charges are il ,..ital source of revenue. M1.U1icipalitics depend upon this revenue to fmance gr ,'Nth-related services. AMO and its members see limiting development charges to only 14hard" services as a serious retrenchment of municipal flexibility to finance growth. Development charges represent b, tween $350 and $550 million in financing and as such, must be viewed within the larger contex.t 0 . provincial~ municipal finances. Since our meetings \-'.lith UDl began, the governmc;nt has indicated its intention to clari.f' provincial- municipal roles and refonn local government financing. We share your interest in undertak l1g this work and look for.vard to hearing further details in the days ahead. We would suggest that any ( hangc to me financing component of D~ve/opment Charges Act is best accomplished within thls larg:1' context. While there is a temptation to play the numbers game, whether examining the changes i 1 the amOUnt of churges since the Ads enactment or the impact on levels of affo rd ability , etc., I suggesi that this ,,'>'ill get us nowhere. The simple fact is development charg~s are an indispensable component of municipal infrastructure financing. Deyelopment charges help finance the capital costs of services and facilities that new home buyers want, exp:ct and are confident they are buying wl1en they invest i 1 a home and a cornmllnlty. A perusal of any new home section in allY newspa.per certainly makes it cleat' what amenities developers and builders are using to market their products and distinguish one n .ighbourhood and community from another and it is not the size of \he sewer or \-vater pipe. As well, there should be no doubt that existing taX payers have little lol~rance for increas ~d taxation to cop~ with the current fiscal situation, let alone an increase. in propertY taxes to finance an{ support neW growth. Existing tax payers arc also concerned about an increased burden on the faeil.lies that they invested in when they purchased their home. Many of the official plans approved by th ~ Province, or that win be shortly subm\tted for your consideration, are based on the principle that grow h pa.ys its fair share. lftbis principle changes, 1 expect many municipalities will initiate a review or bl pressured by tax paver groups to reconsider the basis on \\'hieh their long range growth plans have b :cn prepared. ~ 12/04/96 11: 13 'a'905 896 5879 MAYOR'S OFFICE -+++ CLARINGTONMAYOR ~ 005/007 FAX NO. 4169297574 P. O~ DEC-03-96 ~JE 03:42 PM A M 0 The Hon. AI Lnch .' Minister, MMAH Hay 29, 1996 Page: m Thl: As~ociation cannot agree to any change in the scope of services eligible under the Ac t. AMO is also not in favour of provincially regulaled levels of service. On numerol.lS occasions, both: 'ou and the Premier have said that the Province will "get off the backs of municipalities" and w 11 work at deregulating the management ofOntariots municipalities. You have demonstrated your do... 'll payment on tins corrunitment through Bm 26 and the provision of the tools necessary to manage wi bin todtlY's fiscal rcaliLies that includo reductions in provincial gIants and transfers. Any further lin .i1.ations on financing se:rvices or the introduction of regulated service levels witt not achieve your stated objectives. As you know, over half of all property taxes are used to fund education. Twenty-three cC lis of every remllining tax dollar goes to police services. What is left pays for remaining services ~ iJch as fire) ambulance, roads, welfare) homes for the a.gc;d, the operating costs of facilities provi( ed through development charges, and so OIL These limited funds must also finance the repa.irs, repl~ cement and maintenance of existing m\wcipal infrastructure, s.ll at e. time when municipalities have lit Ie roon1 for further debt financing. \\'hile there are new revenue tools under Bill 26, th~ are meant to 1 elp manage the reduction in provincial transfers and, for the most part. arc untested. As you know, many municipalities have started considering wha.t somc<:s and service leve s they nee.d and can afford, They are also looking at new VI-'aYs of delivering or financing service i, including contracting in and out, lease b~ks, user fees and pnvati7.ation. It should bo expected that ca.pital projecLS not supported by forecasts of adequate operating funds will bo eliminated. The ndustry can be ass'Jrcd that improved efficiency in service delivery and lower cost services a.re likel~ without tha need tv f1:ndamentally change the Development CntlTges Act. It .is simply a question 0: dollars and sense Since the Province has announced its intention to tationu.lize the provincial and munic ipal roles in financing ~nd to carry out other reforrns that will impact the property tax base, AMO reeo nmcnds that any ftmdamentnl review of the scope of development charges be done as part of the la rger picture. Limiting development charges to only lihal'd" services. no matter how defined, would )e a. serious, grievous move. The Province is iUMadvised 1.0 proceed in a piecemeal fashion that cc u.ld result in prema..'"Urcly tying the hands of both levels of government. in our view, you should proco ,d cautioU$!Y and do the necessary properly tax and other financial impact analysis before making any chang~s.
