Doug Johnson, advising Council that he is upset that he cannot
park his car in front of his daughter's house in Courtice while
visiting his grandchildren. Mr. Johnson lives in Ottawa and to drive
down and back in one day is too much. Over the years they have
visited their daughter and son-in-law with no problems, they would
take them out for supper at a local restaurant, also if any repairs to
the house had to be done, they would buy the parts or material
needed from a local store. Over the years when visiting, they have
bought new tires, passes for the local zoo and the list goes on.
Last year, Mr. Johnson received two parking tickets and his son-in-
law paid them for him. The parking problem has been created by
the Planning Department when they approve permits to build a
subdivision with narrow streets. Small lots create more taxes and
now you want to fix the problem by ticketing over night guests.
Ticketing visitors is not the answer and trying to sell him a monthly
parking permit for $800 per year is a joke. Please make Courtice
tourism friendly, don't turn your back on visitors.

Alain Levac, advising Council that he is disappointed the over night
parking has not been reworked to a more practical solution for the
citizens of Clarington. Mr. Levac understands that unregulated
parking does cause some problems, snow removal being one of
them. However, enforcement of this by-law in its current state is
not the solution and will lead to other problems and undesired
effects in some residential neighbourhoods where citizens have no
choice but to park on the street due to insufficient space in their
driveways. At close to $800 per year for monthly parking permits, it
should not be surprising that only one resident purchases this
permit. In their case, as a two vehicle family, they regularly park
one of their vehicles on the road in front of their home. This is also
the case for many other two vehicle families on their street, as the
space between the sidewalk and the street does not allow parking a
second vehicle in the driveway without infringing on the sidewalk
and the garages are built too small to house a large vehicle. When
this by-law was first introduced, some residents widened their
driveways to be able to park a second vehicle. Widening the
driveway and the initial enforcement of the by-law has led to the
following eyesores:
T02.GE

. Reduction in green space
. Driveways have been widened, but the extensions have not
been paved
. Residents park on grass
. Residents park their cars sideways between the sidewalk
and the street so as to not infringe on the sidewalk

James M. Flaherty, Minister of Finance, informing Council on the
decisions made by the Province relating to property taxation. The
decisions deal with transition ratios, 2001 education tax rates,
standard tax bills and provincial threshold ratios that will govern
restrictions on levying municipal tax increases. The Province will
not be establishing new transition ratios for 2001. The transition
ratios that were regulated in 1998 and, in certain circumstances, in
1999 and 2000, will remain in effect to ensure the relative tax
burden on heavily taxed property classes cannot increase.

More importantly, tax burdens on business across the province
need to be reduced to ensure a healthy climate for business
investment. They will continue to work with municipalities in efforts
to reduce these high tax burdens by accelerating business
education tax cuts. Their government remains committed to
reducing education tax rates. The Ministry of Finance will be
providing the preliminary 2001 education rates. As well, a new
standard tax bill will be regulated for 2001 implementation. Bill 140,
the Continued Protection for Property Taxpayers Act, 2000, created
a new provincial restriction prohibiting municipalities from levying
municipal tax increases on commercial, industrial and multi-
residential property classes if their tax burdens are above provincial
average burdens. The Province is regulating the provincial average
burdens for each of the three property classes so that municipalities
will know whether they are subject to the levy restriction.

Patricia Short-Galle, Regional Manager, Greater Toronto Area
Programs, advising Council that the federal government has
decided to proceed with the designation of the Pickering Lands as
an 'airport site' under the Aeronautics Act. This is a necessary step
and represents prudent long term technical planning. It does not, in
any way, mean that a decision to proceed with an airport has been
made. The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) who is
responsible for serving the Greater Toronto Area's aviation needs,
has been asked to conduct, on behalf of Transport Canada, interim
planning which is required before the Government decides whether
to proceed with an airport on the Pickering Lands. This planning
will require extensive public consultation and will determine overall
requirements for a reliever airport.

issues concerning the North Simcoe Correctional Facility. The
construction of the 1184 bed superjail in their town has been
completed and the commissioning of the facility is underway. The
jail is slated to open this summer or early fall. Over the past 16
months, Penetanguishene Council has been involved in ongoing
discussions with the Ministry of Correctional Services. Much of this
discussion has centred on the planned privatization of the facility,
but they have also been very concerned regarding day-to-day
operations at the site. These discussions have not been
reassuring. In fact, many issues of considerable importance to their
community have not been addressed by the Ministry, despite the
jail being only months away from accepting its first inmates.

running an Indoor Soccer program. Indoor Soccer is a relatively
inexpensive sport for children to play over the winter. This year
they exceeded 400 players registered, ages 5 to 15, and
unfortunately, had to turn children away, as they can no longer
secure more viable gym time. As always, the need for more soccer
fields is an ongoing concern. With their number of players more
than doubling over the past 5 years, making them one of the largest
soccer clubs in Durham, fields are at a premium.

James M. Flaherty, Minister of Finance, responding to our letter
dated February 15, 2001, regarding the City of Toronto's budgetary
challenges, the equalization of Social Assistance and Social
Housing costs across the GT A, and the impacts of Local Services
Realignment (LSR). When LSR became effective in 1998, the
provincial and municipal levels of government set out to streamline
service delivery, and make that delivery more accountable to
taxpayers. To achieve these objectives, the Province provided
municipalities with additional property tax revenue, in the form of
residential education tax room, in exchange for new service
responsibilities. Province-wide LSR costs have declined by
approximately $0.5 billion since the original March 1998 costs
estimates. The LSR exchange is working by eliminating duplication
and cost reduction. Residential education tax room made available
by the Province was in excess of net LSR costs by $2.7 million in
1999, for the Municipality of Clarington. In addition to this benefit,
Clarington's LSR costs have decreased by more than $1 million
since the March 1998 estimates. These savings have been a direct
benefit to Clarington's taxpayers, who have also benefited from an
$18 million decrease in Durham Region's LSR costs over the same
time period. As part of its commitment to a fair and even exchange
of responsibilities through LSR, the Province equalized social
assistance and social housing costs within the GT A.

"CARRIED"
Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, advising Council that 47
municipalities in Ontario will be getting approximately $100 million
for capital improvements, transfer and start-up costs of local
housing programs. Municipal governments were given
responsibility for planning and delivery of social housing services
under the Social Housing Reform Act, as they are best situated to
meet the local needs of Ontario communities. The province will
provide $29.5 million for entitlements of employees who were
transferred from the province to the local level and an additional
$6.1 million for start-up costs. The municipalities will also receive a
further $9.1 million to help them find efficiencies in administration,
technology, staff training, business realignment and other costs.
Additionally, the province is distributing $58 million in federal
funding related to the federal housing program. These new funds
can be used for building reviews, capital repairs and other social
housing purposes. Responsibility for most federally funded social
housing programs was transferred to the province under the
Federal Provincial Social Housing Agreement signed in November
1999.

R.D. Morton, requesting that the north part of Henry Road be
improved to make it safer and more useful to all concerned.
Although the south half of this road has been improved to
accommodate local residents and to facilitate snow removal, the
north part remains relatively unimproved. In recent years the road
has become so overgrown that it no longer can be used by farmers
to move their bigger, and more modern equipment. Alternate roads
are Newtonville Road and Vickers Road, each of which more than
doubles the distance to be travelled and increases the possibility of
accidents.

Street. She cannot believe that all the equipment was there and
the municipality did not finish paving the rest of Concession Street.
Everyone north of Concession Street comes up Scugog Street,

the middle of a residential area with a school not more than 300
yards away could and would pose a serious health problem for the
people who live in the near vicinity of this business. The fumes
from this place would drift a long way, and the potential for liquids

Elinor St. Louis, The Hearing Care Counselling Program, The
Canadian Hearing Society, requesting that the month of May be
proclaimed as "Hearing Awareness Month". This is an occasion to
promote public understanding and awareness of the needs of deaf,
deafened and hard of hearing Canadians, and to emphasize the
importance of protecting our hearing. The aging of our population
and the increase in noise pollution have made hearing loss the
fastest growing disability in North America. Often referred to as the
"invisible disability", more than one million Ontarians experience
some degree of hearing loss, with the greatest incidence occurring
among the elderly. For deaf, deafened and hard of hearing people,
the key to enjoying an independent life is keeping the lines of
communication open. The barriers to communication can be lifted

and the numerous complaints he has on the actual construction
and dealing with Kaitlin Group Ltd. staff members.
(Correspondence referred to the
Director of Planning and Development)
Pete Maartense, providing Council with his input on the feasibility of
making one of the ice pads in the proposed Courtice twin pad
Olympic size. Mr. Maartense feels that this would be a colossal
waste of tax payers money at a time when residents are already
facing huge tax increases. The National Hockey League (NHL),
where players average over 6 feet in height and over 200 pounds in
weight, does not have one ice surface of Olympic dimensions. The
new Air Canada Centre for example, has an ice surface measuring
200'X 85'. This incidentally is the same size as the two ice pads in
the Garnet Rickard Complex. The major ice user in Clarington is
Minor Hockey. Is it really necessary or reasonable for Clarington to
even consider putting in an ice pad with dimensions bigger than
what is currently used in the NHL?

"WHEREAS in 1998 the Province of Ontario introduced the
Student-Focused Funding Model and now provides all
capital and operating revenue to School Boards;
AND WHEREAS the Provincial rationale for establishing a
new funding model was to ensure efficient and effective
school operations, adequate financial resources,
accountability and flexibility to enable School Boards to meet
their responsibilities;
AND WHEREAS a component of the Funding Model is a
Pupil Accommodation Grant which is to be utilized for school
building operational costs, building renewals and the
construction of new schools;
AND WHEREAS new Pupil Place Grants are only available
to School Boards which have a greater enrolment than its
pupil accommodation review capacity;
AND WHEREAS the grants available for the construction of
new schools are significantly higher than those available for
school renewal;
AND WHEREAS the administrative criteria applying to the
Funding Model limit the number of alternative approaches
which may be possible for School Boards to pursue in
meeting their educational responsibilities;
AND WHEREAS the effect of the Funding Model and the
associated administrative criteria include the rationalization
of pupil accommodation placements through school closures
and consolidations primarily within inner-city locations;
AND WHEREAS the City is concerned about the overall
impact of such decisions on City services including
recreational facilities and programs, social programs, roads
