Mayor Hamre introduced Janie Dodds and congratulated her on her recent election as Chair of the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (LACAC). Janie,Tom Barrie,Diana Grandfield and Mayor Hamre presented LACAC Plaques to the following designated property owners: Council Minutes - 2 - March 27, 1995 PRESENTATION ' Alan and Margaret Crashley, 14 Park Street, Orono Don and Debbie Prince, 240 Liberty Street North, Bowmanville ' William and Barbara Lee,34 Wellington Street, Bowmanville Nancy Miller, 6537 Werry Road, Hampton Katherine Hamilton, 59 Ontario Street, Bowmanville `s Peter and Ann Thorne, 210 King Street West,Newcastle Wilma Entwisle,4672 Highway No. 2, Newtonville ` Judy Hagerman, 110 Wellington Street, Bowmanville DELEGATIONS Ben Chartier,General Manager,Handi Transit Inc., advised Council that he was appointed to this position in November to replace the previous General Manager. He indicated that Handi Transit was established in 1974 to provide transportation services to physically challenged people within the Durham Region. This service was extended to Clarington in 1981. Handi Transit,which operates with a staff of 21 individuals, is governed by a board of directors consisting of 10 members. Nominal fares are collected from passengers and funding is received from the province. The service has experienced a dramatic increase in Clarington and is still receiving requests for extended service. Mr. Chartier answered questions of Council with respect to the operation. t Peter Messer Johnson, 31 Wrenn Blvd., Bowmanville,L1C 4N1, addressed Council with respect to on-street parking. He indicated that Section 6 of the Traffic By-law states that on-street parking is not permitted for longer than three t hours unless signed to this end. He requested that the Traffic By-law be amended to allow for on-street parking to be available by purchasing a permit. Kelvin Whalen advised prior to the meeting that he would not be in attendance. Hugh Neill, 2111 Prestonvale Road, Courtice,LIE 252, commented to Council on =w the recommendations contained in the Traffic Study Report presented by Totten Sims Hubicki Associates on March 20, 1995. He stated that if the municipality follows the recommendations of the report, and re-designates Prestonvale Road from a local road, places a secondary school directly across the road from his house, and allows high density development within 300 metres of his home and a mall within 200 metres of his home, the property value will decrease and the lifestyle quality will diminish. He stated that it hardly seems reasonable or fair ` that residents in the neighbourhood should be inconvenienced,let alone be inconvenienced at a financial loss, if the road pattern changes are required to e allow developers to proceed and make financial gains. Councillor Hannah made a declaration of interest with respect to the delegation of Mr. George West; vacated his chair and refrained from discussion and voting on the subject matter. In his address Mr. West will be addressing Phair Avenue which is the area in which Councillor Hannah resides. Council Minutes - 3 - March 27, 1995 DELEGATIONS George West, 2640 Prestonvale Road, Courtice,LlE 2R9, requested that Prestonvale Road remain a local road. He gave a history of the area wherein he stated that Phair Avenue had been barricaded and Claret Road misaligned and never completed. He indicated that all of the traffic coming from the Whitecliffe Subdivision had to exit on to Prestonvale Road thereby increasing the traffic in that area. It is now recommended in the Totten Sims Hubicki report that Prestonvale Road be upgraded to an arterial road. Mr. West feels this is depriving residents of 30 feet of frontage on their property and he would like to see Claret Road opened up. John Hawryszko, 2588 Prestonvale Road, Courtice,L1E 1W1, stated that Prestonvale Road was designated as a local road by Council and he wishes to see this designation retained. Robert Cowle,2682 Prestonvale Road, Courtice,L1E 2R9, addressed Council with respect to the Courtice Area Transportation/Traffic Study which states that Prestonvale Road is to be designated as a Type C Arterial Road to reflect intended and actual use. For five years Robert Adams Drive was barricaded. Glenabbey Drive does not join up with Sandringham yet nor does Claret link up with Robert Adams. The residents in the area have no choice but to use Prestonvale Road. It appears to Mr. Cowle that everything has been done to force traffic onto Prestonvale Road, including a municipal sign that was erected at the entrance of Glenabbey diverting traffic over to Prestonvale. Mr. Cowle indicated disagreement with the traffic study report which states that the bridging of Townline Road is not needed. If all the other road networks were completed as they should be they would carry their own traffic and Prestonvale Road would not be needed as an arterial road. Rob Whitehead,2406 Prestonvale Road, Courtice,L1E 352, concurred with all of the comments Council heard earlier with respect to Prestonvale Road and requested that the road remain a local road.

Copies of "Currently", from the OMA, and the "OHS Balletin" for Board Members. There was no good news for culture from the recent federal budget. The Department of Canadian Heritage will receive cuts totalling $676 million over three years. Cuts to the department for this year are $220 million and are spread over most of the Department's activities including national museums, Parks Canada, cultural industries, sports, etc. There have been no further cuts to the Museums Assistance Program (MAP), but also no increases. This does not affect cuts to MAP Q announced by the previous government of just over one million dollars. There are also cuts to other major programs. Federal spending on culture will decrease by $9.8 billion in total . Upcoming training initiatives which Board Members might be interested in attending. These incude: Black Creek Pioneer Village workshops on Heritage Gardens Thursday June 1st. OMA Education Colloquium on the changes in the education e system as a result of the introduction of The Common 3 Curriculum Contemporary Issues in Human Resources at the ROM Museums Matter at the ROM Heritage Today in Ontario as part of the OMA's museum deveIopment. Unresolved matters of old business regarding the museum building. 1. Fainting - The paint on the exterior of the building is continuing to peel and crack. Fred Horvath of Community Services suggested conducting test patches to determine the best method for staining or painting the Museum's exterior. At the time this matter was discussed Fred favoured a stain that gives the appearance of! paint. 2. Doors - several of the wooden doors on the Museum are in need of replacement due to cracking or warping of the wood. 3. Heating - The hanging electric heater for the shed is very expensive to operate. A hanging gas heater would be less expensive. HOUSE PROPOSAL Mark reviewed for the Board the offer from Sonny 9 Youn to donate a pre-confederation farm house to the Museum. Since the time of the offer Marl: has been examining requirements for the project including moving the house to the Museum site. A proposal for a new storage building was under consideration by the previous board prior to the offer of the house from Mr. Young. The proposed storage building was to be a modern building with a period exterior providing 3040 sq. ft. of space. The house would occupy 688 sq. ft. and provide 1120 sq. ft. of spare on two levels. The cost of the restoration of the house has not been completed as of this time but would include the cost of insulation, electrical , heating, and drywall . There are a number of other hidden costs such as the cost of extending the phone lines, alarm system, gas lines, interior finishes, and moving the house. Neither one of the proposed buildings alone, would be sufficient for storage of the collection. The proposals, though they would meet the Museum's short term needs, would leave insufficient space for the growth of the collection. Ann raised concern over the cost estimate of the proposed Barn. Donna has confirmed that the cost estimate is correct as presented. Mark noted that the exterior finish of Board and Batten for the barn is not costed in and could be paid for through fund raising. r Ann asked Mr. Young about the cost of moving the house to the site. He stated that he did not have a firm estimate of the cost. David expressed concern about the cost of operations of an expanded museum and the various options that were proposed. Angela stated that she would find it more aesthetically pleasing to enter an elder building than a modern facility. Mark expressed concerns about the proposed options with regards to storage, display, preparation, workshop, programming, access, archi- ves, conservation, and administration space as part of the standards for museum operations outlined by the Ministry of Culture, Tourism, and Recreation and future impacts on current staffing. Ann and David expressed concerns regarding the Capital and operating costs of expansion. Both Ann, and David indicated that Council may not be receptive to increases in the Operating Costs of the Museum. Donald stated that to provide for the future of the community Council must expect budget increases to occur in the future. Provision of services must be looked at being maintained. He proposed raising funds over a four year period to build and restore the barn and house. Mark requested that a committee look into the building proposals further. Ann questioned the need for a committee of the board. Brian supported Mark's request and volunteered as Chair of the building committee, to pursue this matter. Donna also volunteered to help Brian on the committee to assist in preparing the proposal further. OTHER MATTERS/NEW BUSINESS None **95-21** Moved by Donald, Seconded by Brian that the next meeting of the Board of Directors be held on Tuesday April 4, 1995 at 7:00 pm. at the Armories in Orono. Ann expressed her concern that it is difficult for the Council representatives to attend meetings on Tuesdays as other meetings are frequently scheduled at that time. Anti finds that Mondays would be more convenient. F -5- David noted to Ann that the council representatives are only two members of the entire board. The Remaining board members indicated that they could not be available on Monday evenings. Carried. Mark asked board members to remember to bring a chair to the next meeting as no chairs are available at the Armories. **95-22** Moved by Fran, Seconded by Donald, that the meeting adjourn at 8:34 pm.

Before I respond in detail to some of those concerns, I want to announce the formation of a Guidelines Committee which will play a critical role in ensuring that the enforcement system is workable and fair to local government representatives. Regulations and guidelines are being developed as the Act is proclaimed to address enforcement issues . The Committee will work with ministry staff to provide advice to me on enforcement and implementation concerns including recommendations for dealing with frivolous and vexatious complaints. It is in everyone' s interest to keep these kinds of complaints out of the court system and I plan to do everything possible to prevent unwarranted- legal action. I also expect recommendations from the Committee on procedural matters. One issue which has been raised with me is the notification of local government representatives when a complaint is lodged against them. Local members will be notified. I would like the Committee' s advice on the best way to ensure this takes place in an efficient and reliable manner. 2 400°a COS'T-1- •eq oe.nue' Wes.c=ssmma: .ion rn^•a• . / / ."_� r - 2 - Head of Council The Committee will begin its work shortly. I intend to have a broad-based committee, comprising two representatives from the school boards, two members from municipalities, two AMO representatives and one other Committee member representing the interests of local boards . I have recently approached AMO to work with the Ministry on the guidelines and regulations . This offer was rejected by the Association, though it is my hope that it will be reconsidered. I will provide more information on the Committee structure when the membership is finalized. While the guidelines and regulations will add ress some of your concerns, I would like to take this opportunity to answer a number of other concerns that have been raised. Specifically, I would like to respond to comparisons that have been made between the Local Government Disclosure of Interest Act, which will be proclaimed April 15, and the new Members' Act . Integrity As you know, the Local Government Disclosure of Interest Act was drafted in response to problems with the existing legislation, in particular the cost to the private individual to enforce. It was drafted with the help of a Consultation Committee including Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and other local government representatives as well as representatives of the public, the media and the academic and legal communities. The draft legislation was refined by municipal and local board representatives. The public was consulted extensively over a four-year period, and the resulting legislation addresses concerns that were raised loud and clear .during that consultation. /3 3 - Head of Council This legislation became even more important when the government moved to reform Ontario' s land-use planning system. Municipalities are being given more responsibility for land development decisions, and that increased responsibility makes it essential that local accountability also be strengthened. While there are obvious differences between the Members' Integrity Act and the Local Government Disclosure of Interest Act, the two acts are tailored to meet the unique needs of the systems of government to which they apply. There are significant differences between the ways the two levels of government operate. At the provincial level there is a 130-member legislature, including an official opposition. The very nature of the parliamentary system creates checks and balances that do not necessarily exist in .a council that may have as few as five members, no political parties and no official opposition. So it should not surprise anyone that, although the objective is the same for the two acts, the rules needed to reach that objective are different. It has been suggested that these differences make the local government legislation more onerous and .that the two pieces of legislation should be harmonized. In fact, many aspects of the Members' Integrity Act are more onerous . For example, provincial members are prohibited from having an interest in a government contract and Cabinet Ministers must divest themselves of certain assets . I do not believe that local members would welcome such requirements for themselves . Let me respond directly to some of the specific issues that have been raised. /4 •( s 4 - Head of Council I have been asked why MPPs are not required to make a written disclosure of pecuniary interest. The purpose of such a written disclosure is to provide a permanent record of the. member' s explanation. In the Legislature, the member' s oral disclosure is captured verbatim by Hansard, which becomes the permanent record. I Some people have expressed concerns about the section of the Local Government Disclosure of Interest Act that prevents anyone from representing a local government member on a matter before the council or board. That aspect of the law has been part of local government legislation since 1972 , and nobody identified it as an issue during consultation. Concerns have also been raised about the fact .that MPPs are given the right to make private disclosure i statements from which the Integrity Commissioner prepares an edited public version. In fact, an MPP' s private disclosure statement contains far more information than local government members are required to provide. The MPP' s edited public statement contains essentially the same information as the local government member' s public statement. Some people have asked why provincial members are not required to have their public disclosure statements available at their constituency office. In both cases, the disclosure statements are filed with the clerk of the body on which they serve. Although MPPs' disclosure statements will be physically located in Toronto, it is my understanding that the Clerk of the Legislature will send one by mail to anyone who asks for it . -z. - •ecyoe i 5 - Head of Council I have been asked why Integrity the Inte rit Commissioner enforces the Members' Integrity Act while the Local Government Disclosure of Interest Act is ultimately enforced by the courts . The answer lies in the history of the two pieces of legislation. Local government enforcement has always been handled by the courts, and our consultation confirmed that that was appropriate. At the provincial level, party politics and party discipline make peer review a more publicly acceptable enforcement mechanism. Concerns have been raised about other aspects of enforcement as well, including penalties and available defences. It is important to note that the Local Government Disclosure of Interest Act gives more discretion to the court than did the old Municipal Conflict of Interest Act in that it allows for a wider range of penalties, so the court can make the penalty fit the offence. This wider range of penalties allowed us to eliminate the saving provisions in the Local Government Disclosure of Interest Act, reflecting public demand. However, I am confident that local government members will continue to be able to obtain insurance. The Act also g ives considerable discretion to the Commissioner. The Commissioner will investigate alleged contraventions of the Act and. determine if court action is warranted. In this way, the Commissioner will act as a clearing house, proceeding to court only when it would be in the public interest to do so. Unfounded charges and frivolous and vexatious complaints will not be pursued. It is not possible, in a letter, to answer all the concerns that have been raised. A detailed comparison between the two Acts has been prepared by Ministry staff and is available through the Ministry' s Regional Offices . If you wish more information on the differences between the two acts, and the reasons for those differences, please feel free to call and ask for a copy. /6 100 :"C5•ro•s_ recvicec cape' ayeE CCSO^^£ Head of Council I hope I have been able to clear P ea up some of the misunderstandings that have developed around the government' s new open local government legislation. The legislation is the result of considerable consultation with the public and local government representatives, and I believe it is good, workable legislation that will help restore people' s confidence in their local governments.

Head of Council: SUBJECT: Open .meeting provisions Bill 163 I am writing to address some misunderstandings that have arisen about the open meeting provisions of Bill 163, the government's open. local government and planning reform legislation. As .you know, . the open meeting provisions were proclaimed January 1 I have been asked whether -one or two councillors. will be * allowed to meet with a ratepayer -in private. I have. been asked whether-'a group .of -councillors talking at a social . . function ..constitutes a meeting,' or whether informal meetings between . two..or 'three .councillors will be against the -law. I think it is important first. and foremost that we all understand that .B ll 163 does not. ask us- to -abandon . common sense. Let. me be clear about why the open meeting •provisions. were necessary, and what it is that they have been designed to prevent For some- time now, members of :the public have*, expressed. concern. that councils. were using provisions allowing 'the closing of committee meetings as a' way'to exclude..'the public.*and make decisions behind closed doors.. Too often, in..the middle of debate, councils had declared "we are moving to committee '-of the whole" and continued the meeting without the public As well, municipalities are .being given new responsibilities..as part of• the government's reform of. Ontario's planning system. It is ' important that the public be able to have access to the entire decision making process, • including ,the committee :meetings -where'. the issues are developed' as well' as the council 'meetings where the recommendations are ;reviewed and decided upon.. As a result, Bill 163 made'all committee meetings subject to. the .same openness provisions as regular council meetings. However, Bill 163 also recognized that some issues,' such as personnel and litigation, may need to be exempted from the - openness. provisions., . .- .100%Dolt tonauM_ racydW paper 100%papist fftwo 1290(07/92) - - apras eonaommauav 1 3 Head of Council.

The federal budget treats -Ontario unfairly.. Ontario;.. which is home to 3.8 per -cent of .Canada,s population, is being forced to bear the weight .of 54 percent of the federal cuts.

In Ontario, that has meant tough, sometimes painful decisions-- but we are meeting the challenge In a fair, balanced way. Ontario recognized that the federal government faced a similar challenge in drafting its 1995 budget. We expected Ottawa to meet it In a way that was fair and balanced. But the budget Paul Martin released on February 27 Is neither. It is unfair to the people of Ontario, forcing them to shoulder far more than their share I of cuts to major transfers, which support health, higher educa.tion, child care and social assistance in Ontario. it locks in discrimination against the taxpayers of this province begun by the Mulroney government— despite assurances from Mr. Martin that Ottawa would address the effects of that dis(Arnination. And it Is unbalanced because it Is so disproportionately aimed against programs that people need. Almost hag of the spending cuts come from major federal transfers, which make up less than a sixth of federal program spending. Make no mistake:these cuts are severe. They will have a significant Impact on funding available for the programs we deliver—programs the people of this province count on. In this budget, Mr. Martin appears to deliberately overstate the fiscal gap the'federal government faces and sets aside unnecessarily high mu"Illion dollar*contingency reserves. Those reserves exceed the combined reductions In federal support for health, education, child care and social services. This goes beyond fiscal prudence, possibly to allow the federal government to come In under its stated deficit targets. Such tactics may be politically astute, but in the face of the cuts required to sustain these assumptions and reserves, they are questionable at best. Don't conclude, however, that the fight Is over. Many Ontarians are still unaware of the extent of this budget's cuts. Their voices have yet to be heard In this debate. Arid there are still negotiations to take place between the federal government and the provinces over the eventual shape of the new federal transfer program in 1997-98. Ontario's position at those negotiations must be strong, and that strength will depend in part on the voices of key stakeholders like you.

In Ontario, that has meant tough, sometimes painful decisions -- but we are meeting the challenge in a fair, balanced way. Ontario recognized that the federal government faced a similar challenge in drafting its 1995 budget. We expected Ottawa to meet it in a way that was fair and balanced. But the budget Paul Martin released on February 27 is neither. It is unfair to the people of Ontario,forcing them to shoulder far more than their share of cuts to major transfers, which support health, higher education, child care and social assistance in Ontario. It locks in discrimination against the taxpayers of this province begun by the Mulroney government— despite assurances from Mr. Martin that Ottawa would address the effects of that discrimination. And it is unbalanced because it Is so disproportionately aimed against programs that people need. Almost half of the spending cuts come from major federal transfers, which make up less than a sixth of federal program spending. Make no mistake:these cuts are severe. They will have a signfficant impact on funding available for the programs we deliver—programs the people of this province count on. In this budget, Mr. Martin appears to deliberately overstate the fiscal gap the federal govemment faces and sets aside unnecessarily high multi-billion dollar contingency reserves. Those reserves exceed the combined reductions in federal support for health, education, child care and social services. This goes beyond fiscal prudence, possibly to allow the federal government to come in under its stated deficit targets. Such tactics may be politically astute, but In the face of the cuts required to sustain these assumptions and reserves, they are questionable at best. Don't conclude, however, that the fight is over. Many Ontarlans are still unaware of the extent of this budget's cuts. Their voices have yet to be heard in this debate. And there are still negotiations to take place between the federal govemment and the provinces over the eventual shape of the new IL federal transfer program in 1997-98. Ontario's position at those negotiations must be strong, and that strength will depend in part on the voices of key stakeholders like you. What is at risk is the very Ontario we know and value: a compassionate, caring province that invests in its people and its future. I hope you agree with the importance of defending that kind of Ontario and opposing the measures that place it in danger.

But federal AB,SK,MB, action is changing that. PQ,NB,NF, Ontario NS,PEI The Canada Assistance Plan (CAP) pays for social assistance, child care services and a wide range of services to people in need. In 1990, the federal government limited growth in its funding 10 under the CAP to 5%a year for three provinces, including Ontario. In other provinces, it continues to pay 50 cents of every M U social-assistance dollar spent; in Ontario, the figure is only 29 io 10 10 cents. 290 5 0 V Ontario is also receiving less than its fair share of federal spending per dollar per dollar on training and immigration services.

Monetary policy that allowed rates to fall in the longer term would encourage businesses to increase investments that create jobs. This is especially crucial when budget measures are taking money out of the economy. Commenting on the federal budget, an economic analysis by the Institute of Policy Analysis at the University of Toronto points out that,as long as "fiscal policy. . . is concentrating on spending cuts" in order to reduce the deficit, the resulting negative effects on the economy"can and should be largely offset by appropriate monetary policy." Less restrictive monetary policy would help to reduce public- sector deficits by getting people back to work, increasing the economy's output. This could boost national income by as much as $30 to$40 billion, improving government tax revenues and helping to pay for public services. 4 S THE 1995 FEDERAL BUDGET.-IMPACT ON ONTARIO The impact on services to people ILI THE FEDERAL BUDGET WILL MEAN DRAMATIC changes for Canadians.

A balanced alternative IT WASN'T THAT LONG AGO THAT ONTAMO faced its own severe fiscal difficulties, brought on by the toughest recession since the Great Depression and made worse through federal discrimination against the province. Tough choices were necessary, and tough choices were made. But the choices weren't only tough, they were balanced. The burden was shared broadly, in all sectors. We saved as many as 40,000 jobs, and compensated for salary reductions with time off, Equally important is the three-year window Ontario provided to allow the provincial government and our partners in the broader public sector to find permanent savings through greater efficiency. The result is a more secure future for the province, without mass layoffs and without gutting the services people in Ontario value so highly. The point isn't that Ottawa should follow the exact route Ontario took But dearly, there are alternatives. If a government is creative and determined enough to protect j6bs and defend key services, then it can work with employers,workers and the community to find solutions. We're determined to work with our partners to find solutions to the severe cutbacks imposed on this province. And we're determined to keep pressing the federal government to ensure Ontario taxpayers and Ontario services get their fair share. 6 { THE 1995 FEDERAL BUDGET: IMPACT ON ONTARIO Facts on fairness Canada Social Transfer funding in 1996-97 for each resident of Quebec: $999 For each resident of Manitoba: $919 Of Ontario: $858 Share of federal revenue from taxes and other charges collected in Ontario: 43% Share of federal spending on programs and services in Ontario: 31% Average federal funding per social assistance recipient in provinces other than Ontario (1993-94): $3,200 In Ontario: $1,900 Proportion of newcomers to Canada who settle in Ontario: 55 per cent Proportion of federal funds for services to immigrants in Ontario: 43 per cent In March 1994, Ontario had 592,000 more people on social assistance than Quebec did.

ILI COUNCIL INFORMATION I=5 r , MAR 2 0 1995 a !MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTOP Ontario MAYOR'S OFFICE MPP Durham East To: The Mayor and Councillors Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington AGENDA 40 Temperance Street Bowmanville, Ontario L1C 3A6 March 18, 1995 Your Worship and members of Council, Having looked through the information from your Council Meeting of March 13, 1995, which you kindly provide me with on a regular basis, I feel under some obligation to write to you over a letter sent to you from Michael D. Harris MPP Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario. I had always been of the opinion that partizan politics were best left out of municipal politics but it seems as if others have different ideas on that subject, which forces my reply. Let me start off by saying that Ontario farmers through their farm organizations, and in particular through the President of the Ontario Federation of Agricultural, have publicly said that the present minister of Agriculture the Honourable Elmer Buchanan is the finest Minister of Agriculture there has ever been in Ontario. This is in the public record for anyone to examine, it isn't political rhetoric. I have also read the Common Sense Revolution as composed by the Ontario Conservative Party and quoted in the letter sent to council, from beginning to end. I have found it rather revealing that at no time is even the word AGRICULTURE ever mentioned in that document. I do see reference being made to 20% cuts in all non-essential programs, and since agriculture isn't listed as one of those essential programs I would presume that its up for a 20% cut in programs. Also, the document from the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party doesn't once mention any effects on agriculture coming from Bill 91. But let me enlighten you all on that. Our government believes that the right to bargain collectively should be available to as many workers as possible. The consensus reached by the Agriculture Labour Relations task force, which had the broad support in the agriculture communities, recognized the importance of extending this right to farm workers. In every other province, agriculture workers have had the right to organize for some time. ® ❑ Constituent Office: 68 Kin St.East Bowmanville Ontario L1C 3X2. Tel: 905 697-1501 or 1-800-661-2433 Fax:(905)697-1506 y g ( ) 11 Queen's Park Office:25 Grosvenor Sheet, I I th Floor,Toronto,Ontario M7A 1 Y6 Tel:(416)325-4934 Fax:(416)314-3363 '�"' The most obvious question to be asked is, will farm workers have the right to strike, and the answer is NO. The Task Force proposed legislation that provides for an absolute prohibition on strike action or lock-outs. It should also be noted that the legislation has the support of 35 major farm organizations in the province. Above all perhaps, the legislation is designed to ensure the continuity of the family farm by including a provision that collective agreements cannot prevent family members from working on their farm. In his letter to you Mr. Harris talks about reducing taxes et-al. He said that he would freeze Ontario Hydro rates for five years. We have already done this. He says he will eliminate the Employer Health Tax for small business. What he doesn't mention is the introduction of a "health levy" which will place the burden of the present Employer Heath Tax on the backs of the people, not only those who are still working but including the retired seniors. The Common Sense Revolution is not about job creation or deficit reduction. They are assumed to take care of themselves. This document is all about shifting income within society, from one group to another. The main beneficiaries of the plan will be the rich, and that should't come to you as any surprise. Surprisingly, the one thing the Harris Common Sense Revolution doesn't promise is an overall improvement in living standards. Why not I ask? because it will have almost no impact on the economy, his own figures show it won't raise productivity and it wont boost Ontario's growth rate. There isn't any doubt at all that this "common sense" idea will take from the poor and give to the rich, which perhaps is what his idea of common sense is. On one final note of particular interest to municipal councils is the promise by Mr. Harris to cut some programs by 20% and to cut the public service by 15%. If as he says he won't touch education, police of health care, that leaves 13,000 that have to be cut. This means he would have to gut all provincial support for agriculture and rural Ontario, environmental protection, protection of our natural resources, support for hundreds of businesses and industries, not to mention women, labour, aboriginal communities, tenants and the poor. If people in fact do get their income tax reduced under his plan, I suspect that all of that and more will be needed to pay for the increases in municipal taxes that will surely happen with the removal of so many provincial services.

The Commission has also introduced more stringent rules for closed captioning (Public Notice CRTC 1995-48). Most licences were renewed for seven years from September 1, 1995 to August 31, 2002, but three broadcasters were given shorter licence terms (Decisions CRTC 95-103, 95-104 and 95-106). These decisions follow CRTC public hearings held last fall in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. "Since the stations' licences were last renewed in 1989, the Canadian broadcasting environment has undergone tremendous change," said CRTC Chairman Keith Spicer. "In coming years, local broadcasters will be challenged by an increasing number of viewing options available to consumers. To help them adapt to changing circumstances while promoting Canadian programming, the Commission has adopted a more flexible policy approach to guide the operations of private, English-language television stations over the next five to seven years." "Local television stations are the window through which most Canadians see the world and themselves. While these stations do an admirable job in news and public affairs, Canadian entertainment programming is still significantly underrepresented. As an example, only 25% of all English-language entertainment programming scheduled in the evening is Canadian," Mr. Spicer noted. "The Commission believes that the broadcast of Canadian entertainment programs should be considerably increased. We think it is reasonable that, by the end of their new licence terms, private stations schedule at least seven hours per week of this essential programming during prime-time viewing hours." - more - ' , Canadian Radio-television and Conseil de la radiodiffusion et des Canada 'elecommunications Commission telecommunications canadiennes 2 "In addition, local television stations still have the special responsibility to offer programming that reflects the particular interests and concerns of the communities they are licensed to serve," Mr. Spicer added. "Since 23% of Canadian households do not have access to cable, or choose not to subscribe, and therefore rely on over-the-air television service, the Commission also , insists that local stations continue to broadcast a diversity of programming, in particular high-quality Canadian programs. Finally, it is important that all citizens, including hard of hearing persons, most of whom are unable to hear radio broadcasts, be able to receive television service in a form that is comprehensible to them." Focus on local audiences The CRTC today granted seven-year licence terms for the following private, local television stations: CHCH-TV Hamilton; CITY-TV Toronto; the CTV's affiliate CFTO-TV Toronto and its Woodstock transmitter; and the CTV's Montreal affiliate CFCF-TV. Two licensees did not fully meet their requirement for local reflection and, as a result, were given shorter licence terms. Licences for CKVU-TV Vancouver and for CKWS-TV Kingston and its Brighton and Prescott transmitters were renewed for five and four years respectively. Both licensees are expected to broadcast a specified minimum number of hours per week of original, local news during their new licence terms. Finally, the licence for CKVR-TV Barrie and its Parry Sound and Huntsville transmitters was renewed for five years. In September 1994, the CRTC approved CKVR-TV's disaffiliation from the CBC television network and, because of this change in status, the Commission wishes to closely monitor the licensee's performance in maintaining the primary focus on the Barrie, Parry Sound and Huntsville audiences. fi A new option for Canadian programming requirements Larger broadcasters are currently required, by condition of licence, to meet minimum levels of expenditure on Canadian programming every year. Following the Commission's new policy approach introduced today, licensees of most private English-language television stations earning over $10 million in annual advertising revenues and network payments may now choose between two - more - 3 options: continue with a condition of licence on Canadian programming expenditures; or adhere to a condition of licence requiring the licensee to broadcast a specific number of hours per week of Canadian entertainment programming — i.e. drama, music and variety — between 6:00 p.m. and midnight. Licensees must advise the Commission which option they have chosen before September 1, 1995. The chosen option will be the condition of licence in effect throughout the new licence term. Stations earning.$10 million or less annually are still expected to adhere to the current formula regarding Canadian program expenditures. Service to the deaf and hard of hearing Given decreasing captioning costs and new technologies, the Commission believes that kmost broadcasters should be able to provide full programming service to deaf and hard of hearing persons in the near future. k, The Commission thus requires local stations earning more than $10 million a year to ILI caption all local news programming, including live segments, from September 1, 1998. In addition, by the end of their licence terms, these stations must close caption at least 90% of all programming broadcast throughout the broadcast day. Smaller stations are either expected or encouraged to achieve the same goals before the end of their licence terms. - 30 - r..

After extensive consultation with people from all areas and sectors of the province, the government has now put in place comprehensive planning reforms. These changes L simplify and streamline the planning and development approvals process. The changes also aim to facilitate economic development, create jobs, and better protect Lthe environment. March 28 was also the date when the government's Comprehensive Set of Policy Statements took effect. These statements were released in May 1994 for information purposes. Since that time, municipalities, planning boards, and others have had an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the policies. A first edition of Implementation Guidelines for the Policy Statements has also been prepared and is now available. The Comprehensive Set of Policy Statements includes clear provincial priorities regarding the environment. There are policies to protect water quality and quantity and to protect identified natural heritage features. There are also policies to encourage economic development and human services planning. Under the new system, municipal governments and planning boards make decisions on most local planning and development matters. The province sets broad policy and has an enhanced role as advisor and information provider. The Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) adjudicates disputes. At all stages of the process, alternate dispute resolution is encouraged. The new planning legislation streamlines the process by setting specific timeframes for decision-making by municipalities, planning boards, and the province. 100%post consumef recycled paper W 100%pap-.,recycld 107L apr6s con­ation a4 - 2 - This is a framework for more timely decisions to be , made on all types of planning and development proposals. Ongoing administrative improvements mean "r greater internal efficiencies in municipalities, at the y OMB, and at the Ministry of Municipal Affairs (which retains some approval functions) .

SYSC is designed to create employment for youth in local communities.The benefits are clearly two fold: youth gain meaningful assignments in their own community and the communities receive quality service which leads to increased public awareness, local resources and/or physical enhancement. 'The community can benefit enormously from the work of students on Summer YSC",said Mayor Laurence Mawhinney,President of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, "and students can actively contribute to their own community development in this program." _, T Summer jobs are often a students first major exposure to the world of employment. Through summer jobs, they gain work experience, personal skills, and a sense of accomplishment. Summer Youth Service Canada(SYSC)will help students participate as part of a group to acquire relevant experience through community service projects. Participants in these projects are expected to learn personal and work-related skills through projects which are designed to give them maximum learning,growth,and community service experience. THE FOCUS The projects will focus on two spec areas of activity: community development and learning and sustainable development and the environment. Community development and learning projects will focus on providing service to the community and increasing public awareness of the issues. Sustainable development and environment projects target environmental protection and conservation.Projects should offer experience to participants which focus on planning,organization,management,and promotion.Although priority will be given to municipalities,not-for-profit organizations and educational institutions are also eligible to sponsor Summer Youth Service Canada projects. THE PROCESS Projects can be eight to ten weeks in duration.They must start no earlier than June 5 and end no later than September 1, 1995.Participating students receive a weekly stipend and a completion bonus. The number of participants involved in a team activity is normally three or more. /2 Page two 4 .tf All applications will be assessed according to how well they fulfil program objectives. Proposals must show: a) the ability of the activities to allow participants to acquire,as part of a team, relevant k experience through projects providing a service to their community; b) the potential of the experience to prepare a student for future labour market participation; c) the benefits to be derived by the students doing these activities;and d) the contribution the coordinator is prepared to make towards the proposed activities. The application deadline for project sponsors is April 28, 1995.Forms are available at your local Human Resources Development Canada office. -30- For more infomnadon,please contact J.Jacques Lemire, Media Relations Coordinator, Federation of Canadian Municipalities.

Mr. Mercredi proposed a consultative IL relationship between the AFN and FCM to address mutual concerns and to facilitate co- operative arrangements between municipal and Aboriginal governments. Committee Chair Mayor John Les noted that after several failed attempts,the FCM was pleased to discuss shared interests with the AFN and to receive encouragement that municipal and Aboriginal governments can be allies in pursuing a common agenda. The following day,the Honourable Ronald A.Irwin, Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development,met with FCM's Executive Committee. The Minister expressed his belief "in the need for greater cooperation among municipal and Aboriginal SL representatives", especially in light of the implementation of Aboriginal self-government, "a complex matter which must be resolved in partnership with Aboriginal peoples and through consultation with other parties". The Minister responded to FCM's proposal to establish a Centre for Municipal- . OL Aboriginal Relations by stating the Centre would provide"a good vehicle better to inform municipal and Aboriginal representatives of the needs, priorities and initiatives of each other's constituents",and that such a Centre"could facilitate a greater understanding and lead to productive intergovernmental relations". The Minister concluded by announcing that the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development would contribute $200, 000 over two years, provided that the federal contribution not exceed one third of the total budget for the Centre. "These meetings reflect the emerging importance of municipal-Aboriginal relations in FCM's agenda and the value of more cooperation between municipal governments and Aboriginal peoples", concluded Mayor Les.

LOB 1M0 Mayor and Councillors of the Municipality of Clari_ngton 40 Temperance Street Bowmanville, Ont. L1C 3A6 Dear Mayor Hamre and Members of Council , I was in attendance today at the General Purpose and Administration Committee Meeting and would like to further address the Animal Control/Dog Shooting incident, CS-11-95 . It is an interesting process to sit and listen to supposed facts and questions without being able to question or comment. I understand the need for such a process to get things accomplished, but there are some points I think need to be made to hopefully help clarify this issue. The main problem with this case is lack of information coupled with the apparent callousness and triviality in which it was handled. There are too many questions that the Gasser' s cannot find definitive answers to, such as "Exactly what and how many animals did their dogs kill?" Initially they were told rabbits, geese and ducks; the following day chickens; and on a subsequent occasion bantie hens: . Now in report CS-11-95 , it is chickens and a rabbit. No numbers have ever been given. Qualifying numbers like "many" and "lots" have all been used, but as Mr. Caruana said today, even the town doesn't know, and it should. Was $200 a reasonable price to pay for an unknown amount of chickens and a rabbit? The other dog, Rita, "having no indication emergency services were required" as per Report CS-11-95,' was found in sternal recumbancy upon Linda' s arrival to the shelter and was shocky when first assessed at the veterinary office. Rita had been sprayed with shotgun pellets as well . There are also many inconsistencies between Mr. Caruana' s report and the sequence of events that took place according to Linda Gasser, but these will be addressed by Linda at a later date. The real intent of my letter is as follows . As a veterinarian and friend of the Gasser' s, I am fully aware of the healthy relationship the Gasser' s have with their pets . It is a very strong human-animal bond, which is to say their pets are family members . f" -2- The problem with not disclosing a detailed account of the events which led up to "Samson' s" demise is that the Gasser ' s will be unable to complete the grieving process . I strongly feel that =F council should look carefully at this incident and consider the callousness of how it has been dealt with. The Gasser' s are entitled to know how, why and by whom their dog was shot, and in reality need to know to deal with Samson' s death effectively. I contacted an inspector with the Ontario S .P.C.A. Humane _Society fthis afternoon and inquired as to whether the other dog could have been euthanized after the fact . He said no, that the farmer could have shot the dog at the time the chickens were being killed, but once the dog was off the property it could no longer be killed. I also inquired as to whether or not having a livestock evaluator assess damages could change the fate of the other dog' s existence. He again said no, that a livestock evaluator has only one duty - to evaluate the livestock that has been lost so adequate compensation can be paid. This in no way determines nor affects the fate of the other dog! This is in direct conflict with what Mr. Caruana said today, and with what he told Mrs . Gasser in trying to settle this matter. This is a very important point and needs to be clarified. ' Council needs to ensure that people on both sides of this issue are held responsible and dealt with fairly. Consider ensuring a third party livestock evaluator assess each case to remove the question of fairness from the farmer' s assessment. The cost of the evaluator should be paid by the dog' s owner so no additional costs are incurred by council . Inappropriate and false threats should not be made to hasten a settlement . Town representatives should know the law as it pertains to their area or seek counsel appropriately. Finally, in light of more recent studies realizing the existence s of a strong human-animal bond, it seems necessary to address the psychological effects of a pet ' s loss on the owner . By assuring that accurate details of the event are relayed to the dog owner, a normal grieving process can proceed. I would appreciate being kept abreast of this issue and would be willing to submit information about the human-anir a�D 9 2l 1jY60N feel it would be helpful or necessary. CLERK........:- ACK.

All studies are conducted by consulting and working closely with all parties . This is the process we are going through on the Highway 407 and Clarington Link studies . We believe this is the best way of determining improvements that best satisfy the diverse concerns of the many stakeholders while striving for social, environmental and economic objectives . I would like to stress that these studies are not yet complete and your involvement is encouraged. It is clear from your letter and petition that you have a number of concerns related to the Highway 407 and Clarington Link projects in terms of need and justification, and impact to existing agricultural land, homes and the natural environment. As these studies are still in progress, you can be assured that you will continue to be provided with every opportunity to express your concerns to the study team and thereby to myself. /2 Made from recovered materials Fait de matcriaue i6cuoer6.s r �1 -2- sk I also note your concerns and questions regarding the Courtice North development as proposed in the Clarington 4 Official Plan. The responsibility for land use planning in your area rests with the regional and local municipality. Therefore, I suggest that you contact the Municipality of Clarington to discuss the concerns stated in your letter regarding the proposed community development. 4; I thank you for your participation in these studies. Please be assured that ministry staff will make every effort to work with you to address your concerns during the remainder of the studies and incorporate these considerations into the final recommendations and submission to the Ministry of Environment and Energy. k B ,Best aa.�he�; _` .^ MAR 3 0 1995 Mike Farnan { Minister cc:IJP.

The Town of Clarington, By-Law Department has verbally prohibited us from harvesting the remainder of our Christmas trees, and we have been informed that the Town of Clarington By-Law Department is considering laying charges against us under the Durham Regional Tree Conservation By-Law. Is this the standard procedure for all plantation owners when they choose to harvest their trees, or are we being given special attention, due to the fact that our property is adjacent to an affluent residential area? It is our understanding that the Durham Regional Tree Conservation By-Law was enacted to regulate the indiscriminate clear cutting of woodlots in urban residential areas by subdividers and developers. The Region of Durham advised us to make an application to the Town of Clarington, of our intent to harvest the Christmas trees, under (EXCEPTIONS) section (4) , schedule (1) , part (f) , of The Regional Tree Conservation By-Law. Notification was submitted to the Town Clerk,on August 17, 1994, that cutting would commence in 21 days. We felt we were under no obligation to submit an application due to the fact that this is a Christmas tree farm and we have been harvesting these trees on a small scale over a number of years. - 2 - The Regional Tree Conservation By-Law Under The Trees Act, clearly EXEMPTS us from this By-Law, as per section (4) , (EXCEPTIONS) , schedule ( 1 ) , (this by-law shall not, ) Part (a) interfere with the right of a person who has been the registered owner of land for at least two years to cut trees thereon for his own use. Part (f) APPLY TO TREES PLANTED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF '= CHRISTMAS TREES. } There seems to be a basic misconception in defining the difference between a PLANTATION and a woodlot. At what point in time does a tree stop being a Christmas tree and when does that tree take over the land and it' s owner? This property DOES NOT qualify under the criteria of a woodlot, the farm has been in our family since 1948, (we are not speculators or developers) but land owners harvesting trees which were planted (late 19501s) by us from seedlings of scot pine and spruce, purchased from the Ministry of Natural Resources in Orono, for the sole purpose of producing Christmas trees . We, are still in the process of carrying out this objective. The seedlings were cultivated, nurtured and run until maturity, marketing of the Christmas trees was accomplished by advertising in the local newspaper, "CUT YOUR OWN CHRISTMAS TREE" . Individual trees were cut and sold from the farm, as well, a number of trees were excavated and wrapped for landscaping purposes. The Ministry of Natural Resources is still in the practice of supplying various species of seedlings, to land owners for the sole purpose of producing Christmas trees as well as wood . products, such as lumber or fuel . Harvesting of these trees 20 _. or 30 years in the future is deemed to be the same as any other farmer harvesting a crop of corn; wheat; etc, we have the same right to utilize this land and produce crops of our choice, in the same manner as any other farmer in the Region of Durham. 3 We would like to point out that in 1988, a retirement lot was severed from the existing farm property ref. LD327-88, it was determined by the Town of Clarington and the Region of Durham that our property is a BONA-FIDE FARM, of which complied with the agricultural code of practice : met with the requirements of the Ministry of the Environment, and final approval from the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, determining that our property was not located in an environmentally sensitive area. If in fact, this property was a woodlot, OF WHICH IT IS NOT, a retirement lot would never have been approved for severance . Further more, due to the fact that we live in an AGRICULTURAL AREA there is a clause registered on our deed, that states, we are prohibited from making a complaint of any kind, with regard to neighbouring AGRICULTURAL FARM ACTIVITIES . No doubt, the same clause exists on the adjacent residential properties, including that of the complainant. We can, substantiate these facts to be true, and ask that you consider, the above information, before any final decisions are made with respect to said charges .

Do I as a tax payer and one who has paid taxes for 14 years have NO RIGHT, to say what should happen to MY LAND? I worked in Toronto and only recently found out the attempts of the Clarington Board, of having MY PROPERTY changed from RH1 to woodlot, making it worthless. I understand that I will not be allowed to cut or even remove trees from MY PROPERTY, for my own use. Meetings are being carried out at inconvenient times; with no notice sent to those whose properties are being decided upon. I also understand that the decision on these properties are being pushed through while the NDP are still in power. Sk What about the taxes, I HAVE PAID on MY PROPERTY, which I looked upon as future investment? If the zoning is changed am I expected to pay taxes on this property? Do I get reimbursed on taxes for the past fourteen years? I want to go on record as being very strongly against having the zoning changed from RH1 to "woodlot" . My address says that I live in Canada, DO I????? Si rely, CLERI( r ..._... ._. ACK. BY..--- ORIGINAL Tp C S T : Peggi Dalidowicz • COUNCIL DIRECTI r' - MAR 2 41995 Submitted for consideratiq gj1he council by: LJ MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON Hugh Laing MAYOR'S OFFICE 623-7167 68 Temperance St. ;A L11 DA Bowmanville, L1 C 3A9 DURHAM NON-PROFIT HOUSING'S - BOWMANVILLE PROJECT I would appreciate information related to the following issues. WATER PRESSURE Inspite of reassurances from the region, it is the perception of many local residents that the current water pressure in this area is deserves immediate attention. Information about proposed improvements have not been shared with home owners. For this reason it is with healthy scepticism that I read assurances from the region that "we do not anticipate the pressure in the water supply system to change in the area due to the proposed development". I have been informed that the water pressure as measured by Regional staff in three separate areas of Bowmanville were 80, 60, and 40 pounds pressure. The pressure in my neighbourhood is at this lowest level even before this building started. TRAFFIC It is interesting to note that the concern of local residents about traffic is dismissed because of the information included in a 1989 traffic study which is 6 years old. I recall that this study did little to reassure the concerned citizens in 1989 because IL they questioned its credibility.' Within the last couple of years a traffic study was made about the traffic flow on Church Street related to the need for upgrading and rebuilding. The intersection of Church and Temperance St. was also studied to determine the potential need for traffic lights. An informal reaction to the data was that this was a very busy intersection for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. There are also plans to upgrade Wellington Street which will include rebuilding and possibly widening. How will road widening affect this project? Did this project include traffic studies similar to those on Church Street? k Has any of this current information been considered? cont'd / { Has any consideration been given to the fact that the intersection of Temperance and Wellington Streets is in the "higher accident rate category" compared to other interceptions in the town? Will the entrance to the one way circular drive be moved closer to the busy intersection? Could such a move contribute to rear end collisions involving cars slowing down to turn in? These questions are based on your decision to move the building 2.0 meters closer towards this intersection to reduce concerns about the shadow effect upon backyards to the east. Will moving the building increase the potential for accidents because of the } difficulty of seeing traffic when: - leaving the surface parking lot, if there is an exit onto Temperance Street? - approaching the intersection of Temperance and Wellington Streets from the south? Will this move increase the level of traffic noise which the residents in the l apartments in the West wing have to tolerate? Should this proposed relocation be reconsidered? This project is going to have an impact on traffic in this area for another 50 q>, years, so other projects, such the new shopping plazas should also be evaluated. Housing projects, which have been built since the 1989 traffic study was completed, have increased congestion on both Liberty and King Streets.. It seems only logical to anticipate that residents living on Liberty Street N. and wishing to go to the plaza near the new arena will use the route with the least congestion and fewest number of traffic lights. This route would be the newly rebuilt Wellington Street running past this housing project/senior citizen centre. Projecting even a little further into the future, what impact will the proposed M redevelopment of the freight yards between Church and Wellington Streets have upon the traffic patterns in this neighbourhood. It has been the strong contention of the former mayor Marie Hubbard that the increased traffic congestion created by this project would be significant and have a major concern for residents in this area. Again I ask, "Is it realistic to base our conclusions on outdated traffic studies rR: from 1989 when so much has changed or is about to change?" Has similar I weaknesses in the long range planning of previous councils created the situation that now forces the "search for rental space in a two or three block range of the Q Municipal Administrative Centre that could be utilized for municipal staff parking"? cont'd ■ 3 Could traffic congestion be reduced by connecting: - the court house parking lot, - the enlarged surface parking lot at the south of the building, - the underground parking? This configuration would allow access to/from three streets. Perhaps it would help to reduce congestion by creating a one way entrance into the surface parking lot from Temperance Street and two way entrances/exits on Church and Wellington. Is there any current data related to the volume and pattern of traffic associated with a very active senior citizens centre? If available, has it been considered? If not, should this issue be researched? TENANT MIX There is a great demand for senior citizen apartments as confirmed b the P Y current waiting list. Initial) there was a lack of understanding b the staff at the Town Hall about Y g Y current legislation that prevents.exclusion of residents based upon age. Perhaps there is also a lack of appreciation about the impact of other aspects of the legislation? Is it possible to set any limits related to percentages of tenants in specified age ranges? If not, is there any reason why this building in the future could not include a majority of single people under the age of 25 because they had the greatest need for subsidized housing? Would such a tenant mix have a negative impact upon activities in the senior citizen centre? A segment of W5 on March .15 about assisted housing confirmed that serious problems develop when government policies are not based on common sense or the specific needs of a community. POTENTIAL COSTS The proposed senior citizen centre is a separately funded item located in this housing complex. Will it be paid for with funds from the provincial, regional and/or local levels? What is the size of the administrative staff which will be required to run this activity centre? Has the projected budget been established? Does the viability of this housing project depend upon rental revenues from this activity centre? What is the potential impact upon the beleaguered taxpayer?

Hamre administration Building "emperence St. Bomanville, Ont . ar. 13, 1995 Dear Mayor Hamre : the proposal for revisions to the planned subdivision bordered by Hwy. 2 and Beaver Street has prompted me to forward this letter. ALA tue to work I was unable to attend the afternoon meeting to discuss his matter and express my concerns with you. am a resident of Beaver St. and have been for the past several ears . The following are my concerns : There are only two access points to this subdivison. One off of kwy . 2 and one off Beaver St . Increased traffic on Beaver St . will e dangerous as this road is directly on the way to school for the children of the village . '' Therefore I would suggest that no heavy construction vehicles be allowed on this road. Additionally it would be adventageous if this accesss - by Edward Street - was not opened until final completion Ind occupation of the new homes . With the increased traffic flow, a four way stop sign at Edward nd Beaver streets would make the intersection safer for all . The increase in density changes the composition of the town tself . In what may be viewed by some as elitism, I purchased my mall 2 bedroom home here due to the fact that Newcastle had no semi , townhouse or block townhouse homes . It was a small community of home owners ; which I feel lead to a better standard of life with X11 contributing to the sustained value in the community through ` ride of ownership. We were !;, not just a stamped out group of buildings but individuals with an identity. L L !V I, EM. i� ti The increase is the first step to the urban sprawl of the city and a marked decrease in our way of life. The individual is supplanted by the group. The homes all look the same and individual touches are harder to express Will the increase of 512 homes be matched by upgrades in service . Most of these homes will house families of on average 3 or 4 people . At this juncture , can Newcastle Village handle the influx of 1500 - 2000 people. The 1991 Census indicated that Newcastle Village had a population of 4, 300 people. Can we stand an increase of 40% of our population. Parking in the village is limited and recreation facilities are few. What will the youth do with their free time. We already have a problem with crime and loitering in the summer months . Are steps are being taken to address these concerns.. We have no police presence in the village and our fire dept. will have to carry this increased burden. Was the new school expansion done to eleviate present overcrowding or was the expansion done with the resulting enrollment increase } due to the subdivision. I am concerned that the new school w i l l again be overcrowded. Are our services adaquate to provide for the subdivision or will upgrades have to be made? At the present time frequent power surges and otages occur on Beaver St . during even the mildest of } wind and rain storms . It forces the question of the ability of the present lines and substations to handle not only the present load but an increased one. H Also an important issue to me is whether or not, if upgrades are required, signifigant tax increases will result? It does not seem fair that I should subsidize the developer in his attept to turn a profit. Will the proposed housing be the towering three storey buildings g as seen driving westward on Hwy . 2 ? This affects the privacy of the adjoining neighbours as these new homes loom over the backyards of the current residents of Newcatle . Will the developer restrict the height of these homes and erect privacy fences ? The location of the new park beside existing parks of the schools seems redundant. Would it not make more sense to create parkland for the residents of the north east portion of the subdivision and village? Graham Creek is one of few southern Ontario spawning areas and isheries for trout. Has an envoirnmental assessment been done to show the impact that 1500 - 200 people would have on this natural esource ? The encroaching urban sprawl threatens the tourist ollars generated by the fisheries in this area. I am extremely concerned about this issue and am respectfully 1equesting a copy of that report be sent to me please. What is the time frame for completion and final clean-up of this lroject? A constant eyesore of mud and machinery with the resulting oise pollution for years is not a pleasant thought. klIn conclusion I worry about what a massive increase in population ill mean to this community. Raising the density from 9 to 14 eople as you recently did seems to be a drastic increase . :,Your recent planning survey states that 46 % of the people believe hat expansion is occurring at too rapid a pace .

The Corporation of the Municipality Tr P P Y of Clarington, 40 Temperance Street, MAR 2 71995 Bowmanville, Ontario. L1C 3A6 MUNICIPALITY OF CI-ARINGTON MAYOR'S OFFICE Attention: Mr. Franklin Wu, MCIP Director of Planning Mr. David Crome Director of .Strategic Planning Dear Sirs: Re: Draft Official Plan - Steven Carruthers Part of Lot 16, Concession 2, designated as Parts 1, 2, and 3, Plan 1OR-3610, formerly Darlington I am writing to advise that I am the solicitor for Mr. , Steven ELI Carruthers, who wishes to submit to the Municipality of Clarington, his comments pertaining to the recent draft Official Plan , of Clarington published in May of 1994. Mr. Carruthers first purchased the 104.797 acres located in Lot 16, Concession 2, Geographic Township of Darlington, now Clarington on the 17th day of May, 1982. Effective as of %`.he 1st day of February, 1990, he sold the subject real property to West Bowmanville Properties Ltd. , and effective as of the lst day of February, 1994, he obtained a Final Order of Foreclosure on a mortgage which had provided financing back to West Bowmanville Properties Ltd. . The Final Order of Foreclosure was eventually registered on the 27th day of September, 1994. L . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2 L L 2 - This letter is written to advise the Municipality of Clarington and Staff in the Clarington Planning Department; that Steven Carruthers supports absolutely the interim urban boundary in Lot 16, Concession 2 (Darlington) , as it applies to his land. Mr. Carruthers has had occasion to read the letter of the 21st day; of July, 1994 from The Kaitlin Group Ltd. directed to Mr. Franklin Wu. In this letter, Kelvin Whalen, P. Eng. , Director of Land Development for The Kaitlin Group Ltd. seems to indicate that the one hundred acres of Brookhill located in Lot 16, Concession 2 (Darlington), is owned by The Kaitlin Group Ltd. The latter is not the case and Mr. Carruthers as indicated above has owned a portion of the subject parcel marked "Brookhill" since February lst, 1994. My client submits that the interim boundary line should-remain the exact same. The construction of infrastructure being storm , sewer, sanitary sewer and water within the existing interim boundary line makes greater sense from a planning standpoint.: The allocation of three thousand four hundred (3,400) persons to live within the interim boundary of Brookhill would seem to provide a more cohesive residential node than expanding the interim boundary T to include the "Maple Green" area. Further, the development of the Brookhill node as suggested by Staff would definitely not prejudice the development potential for the Maple Green area. In fact, it. is noticed that the Maple Green area is almost completely planted:�in a fairly new apple orchard and this perhaps would permit the orchard to mature to its total potential in the interim before expansion of the interim urban boundary to the west. Further, the extension of Street B to the east west road along the north end of the interim boundary being the north boundary of my client's property would give the priority to Street B that in effect has been given to Street B in the new West Main Central Area. Further, the total Brookhill area, including my client's lands and the "Tonno Lands" would seem to provide appropriate configurations and in effect permit the new public high school to proceed within the next four years. My client understands that g there is an immediate demand for the high school. Further, the Maple Green section of land which is the proposal "West Bowmanville Business Park" would require extremely major official plan change at the Region of Durham and could be some years in the future coming into actual fruition if permitted by the Municipality. There is no question that there is a substantial employment, light industrial area and general industrial area along the 401 corridor and the West Bowmanville Business Park might not be needed at' this time. Further, it is submitted that the retail area presently designated in the Official Plan Amendment 56 being the "West Main a 3 - Central Area" and the existing "Main Central Area" should not have any competitive factors whether prestige, industrial, employment area, light industrial or general industrial uses as represented by the proposed new "West Bowmanville Business Park" . No doubt, the establishment of the newly planned West Main Central Area will take substantial time to work out a delicate retail balance with the existing "Main Central Area" prior to any adjunct in the form of a new "West Bowmanville Business Park" . It seems to the writer that the planned secondary school of the Brookhill site should be of much greater significance than the additional public elementary school of the Maple Green site. In conclusion, my - client feels that the interim boundary should not be changed from the initial draft of the Official Plan r for Clarington as the existing interim boundary would permit a much more balanced development in conjunction with the new West� Main Central Area, further permit the extension of Street B through to the north of the interim boundary, permit in the immediately foreseeable future development of the subject high school, not interfere with the existing orchard use presently on the Maple Green site until the same is required for population expansion, and permits the effective use of services to the north of the Willsonia site. Accordingly, it is submitted that Map A-3 remain the same as it pertains to the interim boundary line north of the new West Main Central Area. My client would appreciate the opportunity to review this situation with Staff at their convenience. DIST T"[ON You very truly • CK. BY...... ORIGINAL C S TO: RFW/lrb RONALD F. WORBO CC.

With the passage of kill 38, the LCBO is now in a position to accept applications for the authorization of Sunday openings for WL oft-site winery retail stores, subject to the approval of the local municipal council. As with Sunday openings for on-site stores, the LOBO rewires that wineries apply to the LCBO and include written support from their local coiihcil prior to approving Sunday openings. To avoid a duplication of effort, I believe that the wine Council, on behalf of all Ontario wineries, has approached the municipal councils of communities in which off-site stores are located for letters of support. The wineries can now submit their applications and letters of support to the LCBO. Where a municipality has indicated that it is opposed to the Sunday opening of a inery retail store within their community, the LOBO will not authorize the opening and will direct that store to remain closed. L L 2 Applications and letters of support for Sunday opening authorizations are to be submitted to Mr. Ihor Salij , Coordinator, Agency, Brewery and Winery Stores, 55 Lakeshore Blvd. East, , Toronto, M5E 1A4.

EL k April 1, 1995 Patti Barrie Clerk Municipality of Clarington 40 Temperence Street Bownanville, Ontario L1C 3A6 Dear Patti, We are writing on behalf of the Durham Region M.E. Association to respectfully request again a proclamation declaring May 12th as M.E. Awareness Day. Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.), more commonly known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), is a multi-system disorder resulting in a vast array of debilitating symptoms including, but not limited to, profound weakness, sleep disturbances, memory and concentration difficulties, recurrent flu-like symptoms, "pressure-like" headaches, chronic pain (Fibromyalgia), numbness and tingling, ILI disorientation, vision problems, dizziness and seizures. Many people, including children, with M.E. remain chronically ill for years, and are either completely bedridden or are so severely afflicted that they cannot attend school, maintain employment or care for their families. One of the most frightening aspects of this disease is the fact that those individuals who contract it had previously been active, productive, and vibrant members of society. In 1993, May 12th took on a great significance to these people whose lives have been devastated by this illness when International M.E. Day was observed for the first time. International M.E. Awareness Day is the one day each year that people concerned about M.E. can act in unison to alert the government, media and general public about the devastation that this illness causes. The May 12th date was chosen by Awareness Day organizer Tom Hennessey to commemorate the birthdate of Florence Nightingale, the English army nurse who inspired the founding of the International Red Cross and who was bedridden for the last 50 years of her life with a disease that modern doctors believe was M.E. Again this year, support groups from around the world are making plans to ensure that 1995's M.E. Awareness Day is an even greater event. In Canada, our focus is on raising awareness of the fact that large numbers of children are affected by this disease. A child with this illness can only look forward to a very gloomy future. Something must be done to insure a proper understanding of this illness by teachers, parents, -doctors and society. At the Municipal level, we respectfully request that the Municipality of Clarington declare May 12th officially M.E. Awareness Day. Many of your constituents, whose lives have been directly or indirectly affected by this disease, are hoping to tell the press that the i Municipality of Chuington has supported them by serving such a proclamation. We have enclosed a pamphlet produced by the M.E. Association of Ontario for Your information. We would be happy to answer any questions that you might have and look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Peg Watson Frances Walmsley Presidents of the Durham Region M.E. Association ACK. S ......r. M A. IS:M.E./C.F.S. caused by depression? M.EX.F.S.- IS NOT a psychiatric disorder. Q.

THAT Report TR-24-95 be received; 2 . THAT authorization be given by Council for the additional expenditure of $11, 619 .13 be paid to Tri-Son Contracting Inc; and 3 . THAT the required funds be drawn from Account #2005-00002-0000 as carried over from the 1994 Current Budget. BACKGROUND On August 16, 1994, Tri-Son Contracting Inc. , Prince Albert, Ontario was awarded Quotation Q94-10 for Driveway Paving in the amount of $27,418 .36, as required by the Department of Public Works . AL For the information of Council, it is the Public Works Standard Policy to provide a level of service to repave all asphalt driveways to raise the driveway flush with the newly reconstructed road. Tri-Son Contracting Inc. provided the requested level of service, however additional work above the quoted tender price was required for the following reasons: r L 1 REPORT NO. : TR-24-95 PAGE 2 QUOTATION Q94-10 1) It was noticed that on some driveways the slope of the new asphalt was not at a desired slope. To lessen the number of complaints, extra asphalt was added to the length of driveway to achieve a more suitable slope. Additional costs to do this totalled $3, 057 . 60 . r 2) Tri-Son Contracting Inc. also repaved several cross culverts which were either replaced or reset by Public Works staff . Staff needed to widen a number of cross culverts beyond the 4' x 24" specified on Quotation Q94- 10 to replace the new culverts properly. Additional cost above the quoted price was $1, 073 . 61 (G.S.T. included) . 3) Public Works staff had originally planned to repave a number of driveways using their own staff. However, due to increasing amount of holidays and lieu time, Public Works staff could not complete the selected driveways efficiently or within a reasonable time frame. Tri-Son Contracting Inc. were therefore requested to complete the remainder of the driveways since they were already in the area. Additional costs to include these extra driveways totalled $7,412 . 77 (G.S.T. included) or 1916 above the original quoted price . Consequently, the total expenditure required to complete the necessary work is $39, 037.49 (G.S.T. included) which is $11, 619.13 above the original contract award approved by Council . As the Contractor completed the requested work in November of 1994 and has yet to be paid for the additional expenditure of $11, 619 . 13 , approval is being requested from Council in order that payment may be processed as soon as possible. It is recommended that the additional funds required be drawn from r Account #2005-00002-0000, as carried over from the 1994 Current Budget . t 1 REPORT NO 1 i TRr QUOTATION Q94 10 The Treasurer has reviewed the funding requirements' ,- nd concurs with the recommendation.
