"CARRIED" Brian Trotman, 354 Beaver Street, Newcastle, L 1 B 1 C3, appeared before Council on behalf of his family in regard to Report CD-40-01. Mr. Trotman said that if his two 145 Ibs dogs had attacked his neighbours 40 Ibs dog, there would be a lot of damage. The alleged attack was that Mr. Trotman's dogs had the other dog by the front and back of the neck, If this was so, why did Mr. Novak not seek medical attention for his dog until two days later. After visiting the vet, they found out that the dog was unharmed. Council Minutes . DELEGATIONS . . -4- June 25, 2001 Mr. Trotman's dogs were retrieved back to their yard by a 10-year- old friend. How can a 10 year old retrieve dogs that are labelled vicious? There was no attack, his family has been falsely accused and now traumatized, Their neighbours have never had any problems with their animals. After this incident was reported to the Animal Shelter, no one came to see the dogs to determine if they are vicious, The whole incident is very one sided, If a proper investigation had been taken he would not be standing here, however because Mr. Trotman's dogs have been falsely accused they all must pay the price, At this time the Trotman family is involved in another court case dealing with trespassing, The Trotman's cannot afford the fines should the dogs get out again and he feels that keeping the dogs inside would be cruel. The only other option they have is to put their dogs down. Mr. Stacey, 32 Queen Street, Bowmanville, L 1 C 1 M2, was called but was not present. Alan Baylis, 2617 Rundle Road, Bowmanville, L 1C 3K4, appeared before Council to dispute the vicious dog declaration placed on his dog (Report CD-40-01), Mr. Baylis reiterated his comments from June 11, 2001, and his concern with the method in which this investigation was carried out.

Ms. Rosenthal's client is the owner of 1697 Hwy 2, His family has owned the property for 60 years. Her client has come before Council and spoken to staff on numerous occasions regarding the Hwy 2, Courtice Corridor Study and his property. Ms. Rosenthal's client desires to develop his property and is requesting that his property be designed C1. Ms. Rosenthal stated that back in 2001 her client applied to the Planning Department to have an office built on his property. The application has been on hold and waiting for the outcome of the Hwy 2, Courtice Corridor Study. Mr. Gay has applied to the Ontario Municipal Board. Ms. Rosenthal stated that the property and the proposed use is appropriate and that the application agrees with the Clarington Official Plan. She is requesting that Council rather than the Ontario Municipal Board consider this application and that Council direct staff to bring forward a report to the first meeting in September regarding these rezoning and site plan applications, . . . Council Minutes DELEGATIONS COMMUNICATIONS - 5 - June 25, 2001 Robert and Louise Martin, 15 Maple Street, Haydon, L 1 C 3K2, addressed Council seeking direction and a decision concerning their rezoning application. Mr. and Mrs. Martin have been co- owners of a 3,8 acre lot in Haydon. They purchased this property in 1991 with the intent of building a new home on a portion of the vacant lands.

In recent newspaper articles, in both local papers, the ability of the Volunteer Board to adequately manage the building and its budget has been questioned. (Received for Information) 1-30 M04,GE Laurie Cook, advising Council that the sounds of trucks should be sounds that denote improvement and the excitement of enhancement but here in Bowmanville the sounds evoke fear and trepidation over what Public Works will do next; in spite of what has been said, completely out of left field, or the result of the latest "political reality." There was reason for optimism when he met in various forums and discussed the necessary work for the neighbourhood. Unfortunately that work has been badly tainted with surprises and politics. Its annoying to find that the lack of trust we spoke about initially has continued to be fueled by Council's poor leadership and lack of management regarding Public Works, and political expediency triumphing over reason and facts. Clarington has again invoked the need for tenacious, adversarial activity on the part of our constituents. . Council Minutes - 11 - June 25, 2001 . COMMUNICATIONS Specifically regarding the Beech Centre, there has finally been 1 noon hour when people were forced to park on the streets, the first one in months, Neighbours have been taking pictures, counting cars and offering suggestions for alternatives to increased paving and destruction of green spaces. As we approach another meeting regarding the Beech Centre, with Public Works it is hard to believe that this is anything more than ceremonial patronization, However one must be sceptical. At the last two public forums he participated in at Council, he found Council eager to vote for major public expenditures regardless of the lack of facts or reason while smugly challenging the OBNA over the possibility or not saving $15,000, (Received for Information) 1-31 John R. O'Toole, MPP, Durham, providing Council with a copy of a letter he sent to Minister Wilson approximately one year ago expressing his support for the ITER concept.

(Received for Information) . 1-32 L 11,GE The Honourable Chris Hodgson, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, writing to bring Council up to date on recent changes to the Municipal Performance Measurement Program, which they made in consultation with municipal representatives. After they announced the program in October 2000, municipal stakeholders came to them with concerns about the timing for reporting and the reliability of some of the data they were asked to collect. As a result, this year's deadlines and reporting requirements have been revised, but the program's goals - higher-quality services, better value for tax dollars and greater accountability to taxpayers - remain the same. The new deadlines for submitting data to the province and for reporting to taxpayers are June 30 and September 30, respectively. (Received for Information) . . . . Council Minutes COMMUNICATIONS 1-33 C06.CL 1-8 E05,GE - 12- June 25, 2001 Linda Gasser, providing a copy of her presentation to the Regional Planning Committee on June 19, 2001, regarding Report 2001-P- 63, T.OR. for Durham Agricultural Advisory Committee. Mrs. Gasser requested that they consider issues around membership selection and composition to the Durham Agricultural Advisory Committee. There may be difficulties using the Environment Advisory Committee (EAC) model in terms of achieving appropriate coverage of skills and sectors. In this case, the regional planning department can recommend only one of the 10 farming members, and there exists no mechanism to ensure broad industry sector representation. Municipalities often, quite understandably, nominate members of their community with whom they are most familiar. Their only job is to nominate one member; they have no way of knowing what the other municipalities do, Since we all know the perils of questioning municipal Council decisions, how will the Region ensure that most agricultural sectors and areas of expertise are represented on the committee within the presently proposed structure? To possibly further complicate matters, Clarington Council recently adopted a resolution of their local Clarington Agricultural Advisory Committee (CAAC), which requires the Clarington nominee to the Durham Agricultural Advisory Committee be a member of the CAAC. If other municipalities were to form local municipal agricultural advisory committees and were to follow suit, this could present yet another set of member composition problems. (Received for Information) Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, advising that the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs will be introducing a new law that would set and enforce clear, consistent standards for nutrient management on farms and protect the environment. Under the proposed Nutrient Management Act 2001, clear new standards will be developed for all land-applied materials containing nutrients relating to agriculture - including livestock manure, commercial fertilizer, municipal biosolids, septage and industrial pulp and paper sludge. Stakeholders and the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) will partner with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs over the summer to develop the provincial standards. . . .

The introduction of the Fire Protection and Prevent Act, 1997 (FPPA) established a new framework for the provision of fire protection in Ontario. The FPPA shifted the focus of the Ontario fire service to place a priority on fire prevention and public education. While fire suppression will continue to be the most visible part of a fire department's responsibilities, mandatory fire prevention and public education will send a clear message that prevention and public education are the most important factors for fire safety in Ontario today. This new framework for the provision of fire protection in Ontario also included specific roles for the province and municipalities. Within this framework, municipalities are responsible for funding and delivering services and the province is responsible for providing advice, guidance and support to municipalities. . . .
