PRESENTATIONS
Stu Seedhouse, Senior Vice President, Darlington Nuclear addressed Council to
present Ontario Power Generation's (OPG) Annual Operational Update and
expressed appreciation to Council for providing him with the opportunity to speak
about performance at Darlington. Mr. Seedhouse introduced Sandy Stock, Director of
Engineering, and Vanessa Hughes, Public Affairs Manager, who were also in
attendance at the meeting. Through use of a PowerPoint presentation, Mr.
Seedhouse provided a brief update on OPG's 2009 performance and a snapshot of
what's happening in 2010.
Council Meeting Minutes - 4 - May 31, 2010
Mr. Seedhouse reviewed OPG's Nuclear Vision to achieve sustained performance in
the top quartile of the world's nuclear facilities, striving to become the best in the world
and indicated that providing safe, reliable, cost-effective generation, operating in an
open and environmentally-responsible manner is what OPG does. Mr. Seedhouse
stated that public and employee safety is OPG's top priority, noting the company has
surpassed 7 million hours without alost-time injury and has been awarded the
Electrical and Utilities Safety Association Gold Award, which no other utility has
achieved. He stated that OPG is proud of its ongoing commitment to the environment
through its certification to ISO 14001 Environmental Management System standards,
Wildlife Habitat Council certification and receipt of the "CEO" Conservation, Education,
Outreach Award, noting that community programming and partnerships support
environmental education initiatives and are key factors in OPG's receipt of various
awards. Mr. Seedhouse confirmed OPG's commitment to the community, advising
that employees are active in the local community, contributing both monetarily and by
donating their time and skills and that in 2009, the Corporate Citizenship Program
supported 110 local charities, community groups and events and donated over
$250,000 to charitable causes. Mr. Seedhouse stated Darlington Station's operating
focus is to be reliable, to operate when they say they will and to keep the plant reliable
and operating safely by regular maintenance. He provided a review of the Vacuum
Building Outage and highlighted the results of a peer review from the. World
Association of Nuclear Operators validating that the operations of the Darlington
Nuclear Station are meeting world standards and continue to improve. Mr.
Seedhouse provided an overview of items OPG is focusing on for 2010. He
discussed the Darlington Water Release indicating that an intrusive in-depth review of
procedures in three areas was undertaken resulting in a number of actions being put
into place. Mr. Seedhouse advised that the Darlington New Nuclear Environmental
Assessment is continuing and there are a number of activities underway this fall. He
further discussed the 250,000 square foot building to be constructed in the Clarington
Energy Park indicating that the Information Centre would be moving to that location.
Mr. Seedhouse summarized plans for the Darlington Refurbishment announced in
April, and highlighted phases of refurbishment which will extend operations to 2050.
DELEGATIONS
Bob Kreasul addressed Council concerning Unfinished Business #1 -Resolution
#C-201-10 -Regarding Dredging of Bowmanville Creek. Mr. Kreasul stated that the
issue of dredging has been discussed in detail and felt it was now time to make a
decision. Mr. Kreasul stated the issue at hand is one of the Municipality paying its fair
share for access to the marina. He noted the harbour generates $3 million in direct
revenue from charter boats, over $1 million in non-resident fishing licences and is an
asset to the tourism industry, with over 200,000 visitors using the facilities. He
advised the estimated cost to dredge the channel from the boat launch ramp to the
lake and dumping the silt is $40,000, and that businesses based at the harbour have
contributed well over $1 million to the Municipality. Mr. Kreasul urged Council, on
behalf of Clarington residents who maintain boats, to help with the dredging and to
welcome visitors to the community.
Council Meeting Minutes - 5 - May 31, 2010
Linda Gasser addressed Council concerning Staff Report # 1 -Report PSD-067-10 -
Growth Plan Implementation: Response to Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing's
Draft Decision on Regional Official Plan Amendment No. 128. Ms. Gasser stated that
due to imposed time constraints, she would focus her comments on the living area
expansion east of Courtice Road, South of Highway 2 and the suitability of any living
area expansions in Courtice Air Quality "hot spot". Ms. Gasser stated the Ministry has
recommended deletion of the proposed Employment Area in the area of the proposed
407-Link and stated whether it's the Province or the Region that does not accept the
need for the 407 Link Employment Area, Clarington's planning rationale should remain
consistent noting without the 407-Link employment area, it would further skew
Clarington's dismal jobs-to-population ratio, and Council should not support this Living
Area east of Courtice Road, South of Highway 2. Ms. Gasser indicated that air
pollution from the proposed Highway 407 link and future expansion of the 401 will add
significantly to Courtice's already burdened air shed. She noted that the
Environmental Assessment study for Durham's proposed incinerator has provided
much data about Courtice's ambient air quality and about the significant sources of air
pollution -existing and proposed - to that part of Clarington. Ms. Gasser expressed
concern that Courtice already has the highest level of Nitrogen Dioxide when
compared to several southern Ontario communities including Hamilton and Sarnia and
that particulate matter emissions are already just under the Canada Wide Standard,
and exceed levels for ozone. She also felt that rather than attracting prestige
employment as originally envisioned, if the incinerator is approved, the Energy Park
may only attract similar polluting heavy industry which may result in reduced municipal
property taxes, revenues from the Energy Park over the longer term and that
Members of Council who supported the incinerator will have succeeded in making
Courtice an even bigger air pollution hot spot than it already is, without also improving
Clarington's employment numbers or revenue. Ms. Gasser believes that if you don't
build the employment area, then you don't need the living area.
Libby Racansky addressed Council concerning Staff Report # 1 -Report PSD-067-10
-Growth Plan Implementation: Response to Ministry of Municipal Affairs and
Housing's Draft Decision on Regional Official Plan Amendment No. 128.
Ms. Racansky indicated that she would be concentrating her comments on the
deletion of the Special Study Area and its logical substitute -extension of the urban
boundary in Courtice South. Ms. Racansky stated she cannot understand the
rationale for developing sensitive areas of Courtice north, draining the marshes,
clearing the magnificent forested swamps and killing of the wildlife that reside there
and stated if Council will not delete the Special Study Area, then even Courtice south
urban boundary should be deleted. Ms. Racansky indicated that according to the
Report PSD-067-10 Clarington staff indicate they are not opposed to the
recommendation to exclude the Special Study Areas, but claim that landowners were
not notified of the change and landowners are preparing some kind of background
studies. Ms. Racansky feels there were plenty of opportunities during the OPA 128
Public Meetings to express their wishes and that many citizens requested the deletion
but were not understood by the Region, only by the Province.
Council Meeting Minutes - 6 - May 31, 2010
Ms. Racansky feels that the Special Study Area is the last area that is protecting
spawning grounds in Farewell Creek and to develop the Special Study area would not
be a sustainable process, according to the growth plan. She feels that much has
been lost already and that Council has the opportunity to rectify inappropriate
development of the groundwater recharge area and can delete the Special Study from
the urban boundary to make Courtice a safer community and to ease the burden of
staff who must think of special ways to develop this approved suffering area.

D - 14 Harvey and S. Ostrander, respectfully suggesting that the
Municipality of Clarington participate in the Newcastle Bond Head
channel in the area of the public boat launch for the benefit of both
residents and visitors alike; advising that the municipally-owned
parkette, public boat launch and pier are used regularly and
increasingly at Newcastle Bond Head by individuals of all ages and
abilities; suggesting that it would seem reasonable that the
Municipality contribute to the costs of maintaining the area both on
shore and in channel to support the recreational pastimes of its
residents and to foster the economic spinoff for the development and
business community by ensuring visitors from the lake have safe and
convenient access to the community; advising that currently there is
nowhere for a boat to get safely off the lake between Oshawa and
Cobourg, other than Newcastle; and, submitting that waterfront
assets are every bit as deserving of the municipality's financial
support as any other recreational pursuit such as arenas, baseball
diamonds or community pools and that Lake Ontario, Bond Head,
the pier, the boat launch and the channel also make Clarington the
wonderful place that it is.

Bowmanville Creek)
Council Meeting Minutes - 12 - May 31, 2010
D - 15 Chris Clements, expressing concern that the Kaitlin Group has
raised docking fees at the Newcastle Harbour for certain owners of
boats that draw more than 5 feet in depth; that as a private
enterprise/business, he does not feel that Kaitlin should be entitled to
government funding or that the residents of Clarington would benefit
by this; indicating that there is a public boat launch on the other side
of the channel which can only handle small boats that only require
three feet of water and would not require dredging; and, suggesting
that it appears that Kaitlin only wants Kaitlin homeowners to use the
harbour as residents who purchased homes from Kaitlin, did not
have to pay the surcharge.
(Advised of action taken regarding

#C-201-10 -Regarding Dredging of
Bowmanville Creek)
D - 16 Bill Harford, requesting that the Municipality provide assistance in the
matter of dredging out the Bowmanville Creek and harbour entrance;
advising that Port Darlington has been known not only as a
destination for boaters but also a harbour to escape of out stormy
Lake Ontario but currently the entrance is badly silted and is a
danger; indicating that in previous years the Federal government
dredged it out ,improved the east break wall and have maintained a
navigation light at the end of the west break wall; suggesting that the
Municipality investigate potential opportunities for Provincial and
Federal funding as the harbour is a tourist attraction that brings
revenue and visitors to Clarington; and, requesting Council's support
of the project and the establishment of an ongoing program to
ensure the harbour and creek up to the public launch site remains
safe and navigatible for small craft. Mr. Harford also feels it would
be in the Municipality's interest to assist in Newcastle as well.

D - 17 Kerry Meydam forwarding comments on Report PSD-067-10 -
Growth Plan Implementation: Response to Ministry of Municipal
Affairs and Housing's Draft Decision on Regional Official Plan
Amendment No. 128 advising that she has no problem with the
recommendation to include additional employment lands in south
Courtice; however, she is in complete agreement with the Province
in their draft decision to remove the Special Study Areas 3 and 4 (the
"finger" in North Courtice) from the Regional Official Plan; requesting

Harmonized Goods and Services Tax:
Summary of Correspondence - 6 - June 14, 2010
"WHEREAS the Harmonized Goods and Services Tax will come into
effect on July 1, 2010 resulting in an 8% increase on many products
and services for tax payers;
AND WHEREAS the Council of the Town of New Tecumseth passed
a resolution in July 2009 requesting the Provincial Government to
minimize the impact on taxpayers and businesses that was widely
endorsed by Ontario municipalities;
AND WHEREAS minor sports organizations have expressed
concerns that the HST will result in children's and youth sports
activities being too expensive for working families and that enrolment
in minor sports will diminish;
AND WHEREAS Ontario municipalities are being requested by minor
sports organizations to freeze or reduce facility rental fees in order to
lessen the impact of the HST;
AND WHEREAS all taxpayers will have to bear the cost of any
further subsidy provided by municipalities;
AND WHEREAS the Province has publicly stated that the health
system is committed to reversing the trend to overweight and
obesity, but it cannot solve the problem on its own and that physical,
social, cultural and environmental factors have strong influence on
weight and that Ontario needs a broad, multi-sectoral, community-
wide response to the obesity epidemic;
AND WHEREAS the increased cost of recreation and athletic
programs resulting from the HST will further prevent individuals,
youth and children from registering in these programs;
AND WHEREAS the rising cost of policing is further exacerbated by
the increasing number of crimes perpetrated by youth and that
keeping our young people active and involved in recreation and
sports assists in reducing such criminal involvement;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Province of
Ontario be requested to consider exempting children's recreation
programs from the HST in order that Ontario families can afford to
participate in athletic and recreation programs in their communities."

Councillor Ron Hooper
Absent: David Kelly, Chair
Also Present: Anne Greentree, Deputy Clerk
Elaine Simpson, Vice-Chair assumed the role of the Chair.
1. ADOPTION OF MINUTES
Moved by Sally Barrie, seconded by Keith Brettell
THAT the minutes of the meeting held on May 5, 2010 be approved.
"CARRIED"
2. BUSINESS ARISING FROM MINUTES OF LAST MEETING
a) Recreation Facility Accessiblity
Anne provided the Committee with an update on the accessibility at the
Clarington Fitness Centre. Mark Sutherland has advised that the pool lift
at this facility had the annual inspection on April 16~' and it is fully
operational. This lift is now added to their monthly inspection schedule for
their operators. Regarding the family changes rooms at the CPC, this
matter will be addressed in the renovation design stage of the capital
project. The Courtice Community Complex changes rooms will need to be
investigated further as it appears that moving the privacy walls would
require some effort and funding.
Sylivia requested that the wheeled chair that they use to transfer a person
to the lift also be included in this monthly inspection as the wheels are
often seized on the chair. Additionally, Sylvia requested- that all lifeguards
be trained to be able to operate the chair/lift because when they are not
competent it makes the customer feel very inadequate.
Clarington Accessibility - 2 - June 2, 2010
Advisory Committee
3. NEW BUSINESS
a) Accessible Election Equipment -Demonstration
Anne gave the members a demonstration of the audio/tactile ballot
assistive marking tools, and highlighted the various accessible tools we
will be offering to our electors in the 2010 Municipal Elections, at the
Advance Voting opportunities and on Voting Day. Anne sought feedback
on writing tools that should be considered.. Members provided feedback
as follows:
• Sally suggested that we contact the hand clinic in Toronto, part of
the University Health Network, for suggestions on easy to use
writing tool options. Sally will forward the contact information to
Anne.
• Elaine agreed to test the table height adjustment (which may be
used at each of the voting locations) while sitting in her scooter to
help staff determine if the devised table lifts will be suitable.
Anne/Patti will contact Elaine when they are ready to conduct the
test.
• Members supported the concept of the tools and Elaine stated that
the amount of work being undertaking by staff to accommodate the
needs of our electors should be communicated to the public. Anne
confirmed that a report will go before Council advising of our
accommodation measures both before and after the election.
b) Accessible Election Policies and Procedures -Update
Anne gave the members an update on the election Policies and
Procedures, which the Committee reviewed at their last meeting. The
draft has been amended to include standards on which we based our
assessment of our Voting Locations. Each location has been inspected
and graded.
c) FYI -Municipal Monitor Article
Members received a copy of the article, Setting fhe Standard - imQending
changes to accessible builf environment, from the May/June 2010 Issue of
Municipal Monitor. The Committee felt this was a very interesting article.

Clarington for their outstanding efforts and commitment towards making
Ontario accessible.

4. OTHER BUSINESS
a) Channel Island at Highway 2 and Courtice Road
It appears to be completed now as the interlock brickwork is done. Keith
reported that he has travelled over the island and it is nice and smooth
and he had no issues with it.
b) Expo Update
Sylvia advised that she attended the most recent planning meeting for the
Expo. Guy Longo, the gentleman creating the video was also in
attendance. Sylvia enquired if David attended the video shoot as he had
volunteered to be a spokesperson in thevideo. No one was able to
confirm if David had attended.
Sylvia further advised that the organizing committee did not get enough
volunteers for the initially planned wayfinders, so now there will only be
two.
Clarington has an option to host a booth at the event. The Committee
discussed this option and it was agreed that although it would be nice to
have a booth there is an issue with the lack of volunteer resources to
cover the booth activities. Anne agreed to contact Tracy to see what other
municipalities have planned with respect to a booth. Anne will send an
email out to advise members of what other municipalities are doing.
The next planning committee meeting is scheduled for Wednesday,
June 9th from 2:00 pm- 4:00 pm. As well, there is an additional planning
meeting scheduled for June 15th. No one was available to volunteer to
attend the June 9th meeting.
b) DREN Award - to Municipality of Clarington
Councillor Hooper, along with Councillor Novak, attended the Durham
Region Employment Network 2010 Employability Awards celebration. He
reported it was a very well run event. The Municipality of Clarington
received one of the Accessibility Awards; an award presented for
achievements of accessibility based on the success for the removal of
barriers to ensure accessibility within our business.
Councillor Hooper suggested that the AAC should consider looking to
businesses within our community who employ persons with disabilities for
the 2011 nominations.
Madeleine Meilleur, Minister of Ministry of Community and Social Services
was in attendance and spoke to the new recreation facility, designed for
persons with disabilities, to be constructed in Whitby -- Abilities Centre.

DELEGATIONS: Bill Hasiuk, Paul Vaneyk and John Bertrum made a delegation on
rural road speeds:
Bill Hasiuk stated that recent changes to Provincial legislation have seen speed limits in
certain rural areas of Clarington reduced from 80km to 70, 60 and even 50 km an hour
in some areas. He does not believe these speed reductions are justified. He pointed
out that rural Clarington is an area of business and speed limits mean the loss of time
and the possibility of fines have cost implications for farmers. His experience is that the
different speed limits cause trucks to be geared down which in turn causes noise and
air pollution. He requested the Committee recommend to Council that that all roads
outside of hamlets be posted with a speed limit of 70 km per hour.
Paul Vaneyk pointed out that although the speed limits are
traffic, it actually slows down the economy of the country
cannot afford to slow down. He stated his objection aga'

Paul Halliday called the meeting to order at 7:30 a.m.
SPECIAL GUEST - DR. BRIAN DESBIENS, FORMER PRESIDENT OF SIR
SANDFORD FLEMING COLLEGE .
Paul Halliday introduced Dr. Brian Desbiens and, in addition to the brief bio that was distributed
to committee members, Paul shared a bit of personal information about Dr. Desbiens, including
that Dr. Desbiens was a successful hockey player and had attended Michigan State on a hockey
scholarship. Additionally, Dr. Desbiens grew up in St. Catherines where his father was the
General Manager at the General Motors plant.
Dr. Desbiens started his presentation by stating that, when he was a university student, he had
written a paper on the proposed college system, before the existing college system was
implemented. Dr. Desbiens advised that he retired from the position of President of Sir Sandford
Fleming College in 2004 and is currently working as a senior consultant for the Student
Leadership Support project trying to meet needs of mentally ill or at risk children and their
families.
Dr. Desbiens shared his vast knowledge of information and experiences that he gained over the
years in the college system. He emphasized that there are dozens of communities across Ontario
trying to attract postsecondary education to their communities, so there is competition. Further,
in his experience, the communities which succeed do so when they have various components or
factors in their plan aligned. During the course of information sharing, Dr. Desbiens outlined the
following key areas of importance in attracting a higher education facility:
Demographics
• Is there a demand
• Is the population growing
• Sufficient youth population as well as general population
• Participation rates -who is going to college; what are they studying; where are they
studying?
Specialization
• Can we find something that is unique to Clarington
• A specialty brings a focus and identity to a small campus
• Community could build around specialty
• Other programs would be offered in addition to specialty
Partnerships
• Needed in order to start
• Matching funds in money, land or building (the Province now expects up to 70% of any
new project to be funded by the partners)
• Win/wiri situation
• Community support
• Public/private partnerships
Leadership
• Political
• Education Partners
• Community Leaders
• Employers (and not just manufacturing, service sector also)
• Business community
• Often need a "white knight"
A Compelling Case
• What's the story
• Discussion of the Polonsky case for UOIT (ie Oshawa the largest community in Ontario
without a university). It wasn't true, but it helped mobilize the community
Dr. Desbiens went on to advise that leadership is extremely important during the process of
attracting post-secondary education. The leader is sometimes seen as a "white knight"
(particularly when they dip into their own pocket to make a significant contribution) and is
passionate and enthusiastic about the project. Strong leadership is a must; however, the team
approach is equally important. The community must fully support the vision.
He went on to talk about the economic cycle that affects infrastructure funding and how. the
planning cycle allows an opportunity to be ready when the next window of opportunity presents
itself -when the economy rebounds. Spending in the current cycle is currently complete and the
new cycle of opportunity is likely to be a few years away. But this is an opportunity in that it
gives us a good planning window. He emphasized that the province likes to divide and conquer
and that any plans we make and promote will have a greater chance of success if we have all our
ducks in a row and all the forces in our community aligned.
Discussion ensued pertaining to the various elements presented by Dr. Desbiens and the
committee members discussed their obligation to present recommendations to Council. Dr.
Desbiens agreed to review the committee's draft report which will be started at the next meeting.
Paul Halliday thanked Dr. Desbiens for sharing his thoughts and experiences with the Committee
and asked him to stay for the remainder of the meeting.
2. ADOPTION OF MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF MAY 6, 2010

4. ADJOURNMENT
Paul Halliday adjourned the meeting at 9:20 a.m.
An informal discussion took place to plan the next meeting. At copy of the formulated plan is
attached to these minutes.
Group Process for June 29 Working Meeting
The group believes that there is likely to exist a high degree of broad agreement regarding our
conclusions and recommendations. Nevertheless, as we all know, the process of writing a group
final report is often tricky. It's important that it be a group process in order to minimize biases
and maximize ownership.
We agreed on the following three-step process:
Ste One This step to be completed by each group member by June 25):
Each group member will draft a list of major recommendations for presentation to Council.
These should be of limited number, and succinct, and need not list supporting information or
facts. These should be submitted (by June 25) to Linda Coutu so that they may be transferred
onto large index cards (hence the need for brevity).
Also, each of the group will draft cone-page vision statement.
Ste Two At the June 29 Working Meeting)
The group will consider the various vision statements to pick out and reach consensus on major
themes.
Subsequently, the group will sort and organize the recommendations. Obviously, there is likely
to be overlap and some will likely be combined. Some others maybe the subject of debate. It is
envisaged that we would stick them up around the walls and organize them in various ways until
we're happy with the overall result.
Subsequently, or concurrently, we will add sticky notes below with supporting arguments (or
facts or data) under each agreed major recommendation.
At the end of the exercise we will, in theory, have the skeleton of the report we wish to make to
council (minus the introductory material and word-smithing). And, most importantly, it will
have been the result of a collaborative group effort.
The last duty of the group at this meeting will be to appoint two (or more?) to write-up the draft
report.
Step Three (Following the June 29 meeting)
Following the June 29 meeting the two appointed scribes will wordsmith a document and
circulate it to the others for final input and suggestions.

20. DURHAM CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETY FUNDING
WHEREAS the Durham Children's Aid Society is a mandated service under the
Child and Family Services Act to provide child welfare services and the Ministry of
Children and Youth Services is obliged to fund mandatory child welfare services;
WHEREAS Ministry funding to Children's Aid Societies in Ontario was
approximately $23 million less than 2008/09 year when approximately $67 million
total budgetary shortfall was projected by these agencies province-wide at the
beginning of 2009/10 fiscal year;
WHEREAS Children's Aid Societies provincially have implemented cost cutting
measures reducing the shortfall to approximately $54 million at the end of
December 2009 and the Ministry provided one-time additional funding of $26.9
million in February 2010 leaving aprovince-wide deficit of approximately $27
million;
Report #1 - 8 - June 14, 2010
WHEREAS the Durham Children's Aid Society is the fourth largest in the Province
and serves a growing and diverse region that has the highest level of children living
in poverty in single parent families in the GTA and has been hard hit by job loss in
the automotive and related industries with resulting increases in demands for
Durham CAS services compared to 2008/09 year;
WHEREAS the provincial funding formula for Children's Aid Societies is extremely
complex and inequitable with Durham CAS receiving less funding to deliver the
same services as comparable Children's Aid Societies and is also currently
forecasting a 2009/10 deficit of $3.8 million on a $71.6 million budget submission;
WHEREAS efforts at a resolution of the funding shortfall with the Province have
been unsuccessful so far; and
WHEREAS the consequences of a Ministry direction to balance the Durham CAS
budget for 2010/2011 are that 123 children or youth representing 14% of the in-
care population would be discharged and that 64 staff positions representing 18%
of the workforce would be terminated resulting in: increased risk to children and
families; poorer outcomes for children in care; decreased ability for Durham CAS to
fulfil its legal mandate; reduction or elimination of services and programs; further
stress on other social service providers throughout Durham Region; and, a
negative impact on the local economy and social infrastructure;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the Municipality of
Clarington respectfully requests the Government of Ontario to provide equitable
and appropriate funding for mandated services provided by the Durham Children's
Aid Society; and
FURTHER THAT copies of this resolution be sent to the Premier of Ontario, the
Minister of Children and- Youth Services and to the Commission to Promote
Sustainable Child. Welfare and Durham's MPPs and Durham Region Municipalities.
21. ORONO ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION GRANT
WHEREAS the Orono Athletic Association has received a Municipal grant of
$2500; and
WHEREAS they have incurred an additional previously unanticipated expense to
replace soccer nets after their submission for the grant which was not included in
their 2010 budget;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Municipality of Clarington grant
an additional $2,000 to go towards the purchase of soccer nets, with the funds to
be expended from the Community Grants Program.

2.4 KLD Construction Limited, has provided an estimated cost of $34,490.00 to
remediate the contaminated area at Orono Operations Centre.. The figure is based
on 200 metric tonnes of soil being removed from the site. The cost for the
remediation may increase and/or decrease depending on the actual tonnes of soil to
be moved and replaced. A copy of the pricing is attached as Schedule "C".
2.5 Kl_D Construction limited, has been given approval to complete the removal and
disposal ofi the reinforced concrete slab at a value of approximately $4,000.00 at

1. BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
1.1 The Operations Department have budgeted for a fuel station at Depot 42 in the
2009 Capital budget.
1.2 !n 2049 the Municipality of Clarington fuel supplier changed from She[! Canada
Products Limited to Petro Canada. At the time of the contract award, the new
supplier requested an inspection prior to delivering product, as per Ontario
Regulation 2i 7t01.
1.3 The inspection revealed that the underground tanks do not meet the flade
requirements. As per the Liquid Fuel Handling Code 2007, the Hampton and
Orono Operations Centre are not in compliance with the Technical Standards
and Safety Authority (TSSA} requirements. The tanks are .single wail Fiberglas
Reinforced plastic (FRP) and do not have drop tubes and internal overfill devices.
There are no monitoring welts. The piping is.singie wai! galvanized steel which
must be upgraded to meat current standards.
1.4 Petroleum Technical Services, our consultant for this project, prepared a report
which outlined the code deficienaes and provided options so that legs!
compliance may be achieved.
1.8 Tenders were publicly advertised and called for the Fuel Tank Requirements at
Various Locations as required by the Operations Department. Subsequently,
two tenders and one no bid were received and #abulated as per Schedule "A"
attached.
2. ANALYSIS
2.1 The. low compliant bid was submitted by KL© Construction Limited, Ajax,
On#aria.
2.2 The references for KLO Construction Limited, Ajax, Ontario have been
cantacted and are satisfactory.
REPORT NO.: COD-063-0e PAGE 3
3. FINANCIAI.IMPLfCATIONS
3.1 The total funds of $389,085.00 required for Tender CL2009-4i Fuel Tank
Requirements at Various Locations exceed the Operations Department budget.
3.2 Funds in the amount of $200,000.00 have heart allocated for the fuel station at
Depot~42, in the Operations 2009 Capital Account 110-36-370-83677-7401. The
bid submission was received in the amount of $139,185.00. As this is a growth-
