Council Minutes DELEGATIONS - 3 - January 15,2001 Resolution #C-005-01 Moved by Councillor Schell, seconded by Councillor MacArthur THAT the meeting be "closed" for consideration of the delegations of Mr. Philip Coulter and Mr. and Mrs. Call wood as the issue involves a legal matter. "CARRIED" Resolution #C-006-01 Moved by Councillor Schell, seconded by Councillor Robinson THAT the delegation of Philip Coulter, on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Call wood, be referred to staff for review and report to the General Purpose and Administration Committee. "CARRIED" Terry Caswell, Committee of Clarke Constituents, P.O. Box 20028, Newcastle, LIB 1M3, addressed Council to congratulate the returning and the new members of Council. Over the years, the Committee of Clarke Constituents has had a strong working relationship with previous municipal Councils. We listened to each other and have on occasion worked together to promote the common goal of protecting the environment. They look forward to continuing this relationship. One of the most pressing issues has been and continues to be Landfill. The old 'no longer accepting waste' site north of Newtonville has been refused expansion or the owners withdrew such applications for over twenty years. Once again, citing a need, the original owners of the site have sent to Durham Regional Councillors an 'advance notice of their intention' to re- open and expand. The fact that Clarington Waste Processing Centre has gone directly to Durham Works and by passed Clarington Council is, in itself, questionable. Another issue has been by-law infractions and enforcement. Newcastle Recycling has had notice gi ven them for nearly three years. Still, no enforcement or apparent remedial action has been taken. Residents, present and future of Clarington deserve to live in a community where all by-laws are respected and enforced within a reasonable time frame. . . .

(Received for Information) 1-14 E07.GE Dan Whelan, Director General, Energy Resources Branch, Natural Resources Canada, regarding the development of a legal agreement for the long-term management of local low-level radioactive wastes. Mr. Whelan is pleased to see that an agreement has been prepared and is ready for signature. Prior to the Government of Canada being able to sign the agreement, it must be reviewed by the federal Cabinet. In the wake of the recent federal election, it is difficult to define the precise timing of that review or the subsequent signature of the agreement. However, they are working towards being in a position to have the new Cabinet review the agreement as soon as possible in the new year, and hopefully within the first quarter. Signature of the legal agreement by the federal government, as the last party to execute it, will make the agreement effective and trigger the payment of the host community assistance payments. . Council Minutes - 6- January 15, 2001 . COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Whelan knows that the municipality is concerned about Project implementation, and particularly the property value protection program. He would like to reassure us that, in parallel with the Cabinet review process, they are proceeding now with project planning, including developing the details of the property value protection program and the other elements to assist them in expediting Project implementation. (Recei ved for Information) 1- 15 D02.0A Roy C. Forrester, Clarington Chapter Chair, Oak Ridges Trail Association, inviting Council to the Annual Meeting of the Oak Ridges Trail Association on May 12 at the Orono Town Hall. The first step in the development of an Oak Ridges Trail was undertaken in late September, 2000, when Council gave approval for a 44 kilometer trail across the northern section of the municipality. This certainly met with member approval of the local Chapter as well as the parent body of the Association. Physical development since September finds 20 kIDs of trail at near completion with a few lose ends to tie. This takes one from north of the Long Sault Conservation Area to the west side of Highway 115. It covers some most interesting terrain and land form as well as being mostly on unopened road allowances. This is certainly an attraction to bring hikers out into the country to visit, exercise and enjoy the great outdoors. They do plan to develop blue bird nest communities, rest areas and look- outs to Lake Ontario. There has been objection to the trail in passing through Lot 32, Concession 8, by the owner of the property. Due to this concern the firm of Brown and Coggan was engaged to survey the property as outlined on Plan lOR -915. This set the parameters of the Unopened Road Allowance as well as those of the Swamp Road as it crosses through Lots 32 and 31. A section of 700 feet is yet to be surveyed on the east side of Lot 32. Some trail clearing has been completed. A trail does now exist on the eastern section of Swamp Road as it passes along Lot 31. There have been no objections here.

Mr. Clement is inviting Mayor and Council to bring forth any additional comments or suggestions regarding the new Municipal Act. Greater accountability will also be assured through the Municipal Performance Measurement Program. That program requires municipalities to report annually to their taxpayers on how they performed in nine core service areas. Other priorities we will be addressing together include: . Improving Ontario's infrastructure, as we move ahead with the five- year, $20 billion SuperBuild initiative, designed to spearhead and facilitate the largest infrastructure building program in Ontario's history; . Consolidating delivery of important local social services at the local level, subject to the approval of the Legislature, by transferring the administration of social housing to municipalities; .

"CARRIED" The foregoing Resolution #C-014-01 was then put to a vote and "CARRIED AS AMENDED." Mary Dunlop, Chair of the Pre&Post Natal Nutrition Project Steering Committee, addressing Council on a serious issue that faces many women living in Oshawa and sits at the heart of access to services, of discrimination and of quality of life. Several agencies in our region work together in a collaborati ve framework to provide a variety of supports at several sites throughout the region to pregnant women and new mothers living on low-income or who are isolated. While many agencies have been able to work in partnership, they face constant frustration regarding affordable and appropriate public transportation. Program participants tell their front line staff of rude bus drivers, poor transit connections and inadequate scheduling. Some are actually passed by as they wait at a bus stop. . . . Council Minutes COMMUNICATIONS D-7 Municipal Elections Act CIO.MO - 12- January 15, 2001 The population they serve typically does not feel they have a voice to work toward change so this committee has made a decision to call all transit commissions and departments in the region to be accountable. A huge concern to the agencies involved in the Pre&Post Natal Nutrition Project is the discriminatory policy that requires women to fold strollers before boarding a bus. For many women this is physically impossible to manage with a baby, diaper bag, groceries, etc. Support agencies often face the need to pay private transportation systems because of this systemic discrimination. They invite the municipality to join the network of integrated partnerships, starting with their committee, in order to address the service delivery issues in our municipality and region.
