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. Mr. Patterson stated that he is aware of a
recommendation from the Director of Planning Services to deny his request and
wishes to oppose the recommendation. Mr. Patterson quoted various items of
correspondence from Members of the Royal Canadian Legion and the Provincial
Member of Parliament who are in support of his request. He also quoted
correspondence from municipal staff acknowledging that an error had been made in
placing the Poppy symbol on the street sign. Mr. Patterson reiterated his request to
have the poppy on the street sign as it is a world insignia signifying veterans and is not
owned by the Royal Canadian Legion.
