Council Meeting Minutes - 5 - December 20, 2010 Jim Richards addressed Council concerning Item 2 of Business Arising from Notice of Motion regarding Energy-From-Waste stating that all Members of Council should be doing whatever possible to either improve the process or stop it entirely. Mr. Richards expressed concern that because Regional Councillors voted not to see the final Host Community Agreement, the public has no idea what kind of liabilities the Region may be facing and whether the Region would try to force Clarington to foot the bill should the Municipality once again declare itself an "unwilling host". Mr. Richards stated even with some sort of financial penalty, it would be far cheaper than constructing a $280 million incinerator that will cost approximately $18 million per year to operate and not advance the Region closer to a sustainable solution to the waste management challenge. Mr. Richards urged all Members of Council to support Councillor Neal's Notice of Motion and demand that the comments of the former Municipal Solicitor be made public. He expressed concern that the Chief Administrative Officer dismissed the concerns of the former Municipal Solicitor with respect to the Host Community Agreement and wants to be assured that, as the current solicitor now reports directly to the Chief Administrative Officer, there will be no interference with the Solicitor's report. Mr. Richards suggested that the Solicitor report directly to Council on this matter or preferably turn the entire matter over to independent legal counsel to avoid any chance for political interference or any real or perceived conflict. Mayor Foster clarified that it was Council's decision not to make Mr. Hefferon's comments public and that Mr. Wu was following Council's direction. Jim Richards addressed Council concerning Item 2 of Unfinished Business regarding appointment to the Veridian Corporation Board of Directors. Mr. Richards stated that in reviewing various Candidate's election campaign material, he noticed key words such as honesty, integrity, trust, faith, openness, accountability, transparency, etc. and slogans such as "working together for change", "time for a change", working for you", "making a difference" and "listening to the people". Mr. Richards expressed concern that Council is now considering overturning a democratic vote made two weeks ago and questioned the message that will be sent to the residents of Clarington. Mr. Richards stated that personally he feels betrayed by the intentions of the motion and urged Council to reconsider their intended actions rather than the previous appointment of Councillor Neal. Mr. Richards also expressed concern with the compensation paid to elected officials for sitting on the Veridian Corporation Board of Directors and urged Council to support Resolution C-207-09. Reverend Dan Yourkevich addressed Council concerning Item 2 of Business Arising from Notice of Motion regarding Energy-From-Waste stating he wonders how many people outside of those in the public service and the media have read the Host Community Agreement and understand how it will affect Clarington. He stated the residents of Clarington should expect there to be some benefit in the Agreement and questioned what the Agreement will and will not do for the Municipality. Reverend Yourkevich questioned how Council will ensure that emission standards are met and what will happen following the three-year monitoring process. Mr. Yourkevich requested Council to be a watchdog and to protect the community. Council Meeting Minutes - 6 - December 20, 2010 Barry Bracken advised prior to the meeting that he would not be addressing Council. Dave Patterson addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item D - 17- Request for Amendment to Street Naming Policy to allow for the poppy to remain on the street sign on Corporal Patterson Lane, which was named for his son, who served in the United States Marine Corp.
