PRESENTATIONS
Foster Loucks, Chair, Central East Local Health Integration Network, addressed
Council to present an overview of the current Central East Local Health Care System.
Mr. Loucks stated there are 14 Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) in Ontario
with the Central East LHIN being the sixth largest by geography, extending from
Scarborough to Haliburton and the 2nd largest by population, serving 1.6 million
residents. The Central East LHIN is a mix of urban and rural geography with a rich
diversity of community values, ethnicity, language and socio- demographic
characteristics. Through use of a PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Loucks reviewed the
purpose of the Local Health System Integration Act, which establishes the framework
for the operation. He noted that the 14 LHINs are responsible for managing $20
billion of provincial funding for health care expenditures and they have jurisdiction over
public and private hospitals, long -term care homes, community care access centres,
community mental health and addiction, community health centres, and community
support and service agencies. Mr. Loucks indicated the Central East LHIN's main
office is located in Ajax and that they oversee 10 hospitals on 16 sites, 70 long -term
care facilities, one community care access centre, and a large number of community
support systems. Mr. Loucks reviewed funding allocations by sector, indicating that of
the $20 billion, the Central East LHIN has a total allocation of nearly $2 billion, with the
largest portion allocated to funding of hospitals, followed by long -term care and then
community care access centre. He noted the mandate and functions of the LHIN
starts with community engagement, moves forward having consulted with the
community to local system planning, then to funding and allocation and then to
accountability and performance of all the health services providers. This is achieved
by developing an Integrated Health Service Plan, a strategic plan that the LHIN feels
is in order to achieve their goals through a system of accountability agreements.
Council Meeting Minutes - 4 - March 28, 2011
Mr. Loucks stated community engagement is the foundation of all activity at the
Central East LHIN and is about talking to people and establishing the opportunity for
change. The LHIN is attempting to get different health services providers to pull
together to achieve a more integrated system. He highlighted accomplishments since
2006.
Mr. Loucks summarized by stating that in the time that the Central East LHIN has
been in existence they believe that they have had an effect on the Health Care
System and that over time they are seeing the different providers working more
cooperatively and collaboratively. He indicated that the Central East LHIN has had a
great deal of cooperation from providers and municipal levels of government and that
appearing before Council tonight is part of their effort to convey to Council what the
LHIN is about and to provide a quick snapshot of what the LHIN does. Mr. Loucks
encouraged Members of Council to attend the Central East LHIN's 5th Annual
Symposium - "Reaching the Quality Summit ", to be held May 31, 2011, at the Ajax
Convention Centre.
Resolution #C- 148 -11
Moved by Councillor Novak, seconded by Councillor Hooper
THAT Foster Loucks, Chair, Central East Local Health Integration Network, be
thanked for his presentation.

Program and their participation in community events.
DELEGATIONS
Pam Callus addressed Council concerning Item 10 of Report #1 - Hard Copies of
Certificate of Approval Documents for the Energy- From -Waste Facility. Ms. Callus
requested a hard copy of the Certificate of Approval documents for her own perusal
but noted that she would be willing to share the documents with others. Ms. Callus
stated the documents are large and are not without expense to replicate. She is
concerned with the details of the document and feels that making copies available at
the Library only is unworkable. She acknowledged that she has been provided with a
CD but noted the difficulty in going through the documents on screen with having to
flip back and forth to access information. Ms. Callus also stated that she shares a
Council Meeting Minutes - 5 - March 28, 2011
laptop with her husband and when she is using the laptop, it is not available to him.
Ms. Callus reminded Mayor Foster that on March 5th, he had commended community
activists regarding their efforts concerning Energy- From -Waste and she encouraged
Council to reconsider their decision not to provide a hard copy of the documents.
Providing copies would allow them to continue their work.
Sherry Ibbotson addressed Council concerning Staff Report #2 - Morgan's Road,
speaking on behalf of the Clarington Citizens for Clean Water and Soil with respect to
the dumping of fill at 4148 Highway 2. Ms. Ibbotson stated she resides on Morgan's
Road just beyond the exit gate of the fill site. Ms. Ibbotson distributed a map of the
area to Members of Council. She indicated Permit #1089 was issued by the
Ganaraska Regional Conservation Authority and was reviewed by the Authority but
Ms. Ibbotson stated they acknowledged that no testing of soil was conducted on the
site previous to the dumping of fill. Ms. Ibbotson stated the group would like to be
made aware of the Authority's protocols, what conditions were considered, and if the
Authority or the Ministry of the Environment are regularly conducting soil tests, taking
water samples for PCV's phenols, known pathogens and carcinogenics. She feels
that urgent appeals need to be made to the Ministry and the Conservation Authority to
address the unacceptable threat to the health of Clarington residents, future
generations and also the wildlife habitat. The group also feels that the Ministry needs
to enforce monitoring to restrict contamination. They would also like to ask who is the
Independent Qualified Person required to monitor dumping activities and conduct
environmental site assessment, they would like the Ministry to conduct testing of
nearby drinking water wells and are requesting that the Municipality contact the
Township of Scugog to determine what was relevant and effective in achieving the
temporary injunction they acquired for the dumping site in that municipality. She also
stated that municipalities need to enact by -laws and zoning regulations that will
effectively prohibit these kinds of operations and is requesting information as to
whether a Record of Site Condition was completed or why there was no public
consultation regarding the application. They are requesting ongoing dialogue
between the municipality and Clarington residents. Ms. Ibbotson submitted a petition
in opposition to untested soil being dumped in an Agricultural /Green Belt reserved
area.
Resolution #C- 149 -11
Moved by Councillor Partner, seconded by Councillor Woo
THAT the owner of the property at 4148 Highway 2 (1744856 Ontario Inc.) be
requested to give Clarington and GRCA permission to take:
(a) Shallow groundwater samples down gradient of the fill material and wetlands to
establish background water quality concentrations for use in evaluating future
groundwater impacts;
(b) Random soil samples at times /locations of their choosing, with reasonable notice
to the owner so that its consultant can be present;
Council Meeting Minutes - 6 - March 28, 2011
THAT the owner of the property (1744856 Ontario Inc.) be requested to keep and
make available for inspection upon request by Clarington a log of every truck that
dumps materials onto the property which identifies the source of the materials
deposited on the property; and
THAT the owner be required to enter into an agreement with Clarington to address
issues with respect to the damage caused to Morgans Road by the trucks leaving the
property."
"CARRIED"
Wendy Bracken addressed Council concerning Item 8 of Report #1 - Review of
Region of Durham's Application for Certificate of Approval for Energy- From -Waste
Facility. Through use of a PowerPoint presentation, Ms. Bracken expressed concern
with the emissions from the incinerator. She indicated that NO2, PM2.5, ammonia,
carbon monoxide and SO2, have acute and chronic effects, that heavy metals such as
mercury, cadmium, lead, nickel, arsenic, as well as dioxins /furans and other
carcinogens accumulate and persist in humans and the environment and that 138,000
tonnes of greenhouse gases will be emitted. Ms. Bracken stated the area is already
burdened with respiratory irritants and that PM2.5 is a harmful pollutant of less than
one millionth of a metre, able to penetrate into the lungs and bloodstream and travel
through the body causing cardiac and respiratory illness. She noted that the levels of
PM2.5 in Courtice are marginally below the 30pg /m3 Canada Wide Standard. She
indicated that 30pg /m3 is not a health -based standard and that our PM2.5 levels are too
high and that they have set 30 as their goal. Ms. Bracken highlighted concerns with
how the consultants assessed risk for key pollutants. Ms. Bracken stated since PM2.5
is a non - threshold pollutant, it should not have been evaluated as it was. It is not a
pollutant which can be elevated such that it can accumulate to some level before it
becomes toxic, that if the concentration level is one or greater the toxicity level has
been reached. She expressed concern that despite Health Canada being very critical
of the PM2.5 levels, the Project Team did not recommend or feel that additional
mitigation measures were required. Ms. Bracken indicated that nitrogen dioxide levels
are higher in Clarington than in Hamilton because of St. Marys Cement and that the
risk was identified for it in the baseline cases without adding incineration.
Ms. Bracken urged Council to conduct a peer review of the Certificate of Approval
application to include an evaluation of the consistency of the approved Environmental
Assessment with the Certificate of Approval application particularly with regard to
emissions, definition of operating scenarios, the evaluation of risk for PM2.5 as a non -
threshold pollutant and for NO2 and other respiratory irritants and the Health Canada
Review comments.
Council Meeting Minutes - 7 - March 28, 2011
Wendy Bracken addressed Council concerning Item 10 of Report #1 - Hard Copies of
Certificate of Approval Documents for the Energy- From -Waste Facility. She
expressed concern that Members of Council are not aware of the work involved in
reviewing these documents. She stated that it would have been impossible for
interested parties to conduct the reviews they have done working from electronic
copies. Ms. Bracken stated she has previously written to Council requesting that
copies be provided to citizens who have have done a lot of work on this. She stated
she was dismayed by last week's decision and that she is conducting this review for
no personal reason other than the protection of her friends, family and community.
Ms. Bracken stated there is information that is not being put forward by the Region's
consultants and is not being made clear to Council. Ms. Bracken thanked Members of
Council who attended the Council Information session last week. She stated access
to information is key to democracy; she feels this is a fair request and urged Council to
provide the information.
Resolution #C- 150 -11

available by Durham Region to the three local community groups, DurhamCLEAR,

Henk Mulders addressed Council concerning Item 13 of Report #1 - Building Permit
and Inspection Fee Amendments and New Building By -Law. Mr. Mulders indicated
that he is the owner and operator of Link Greenhouses north of Bowmanville and he is
also speaking on behalf of Witzke Greenhouses and Rekker Garden Greenhouses to
bring attention to the financial impact the proposed increase will have on greenhouse
construction. Mr. Mulders indicated ten to fifteen years ago a building permit for a one
acre greenhouse would have been approximately $1,000. At the current rate of $2.27,
a one acre greenhouse permit would cost $9,189.65 and the proposed increase to
$2.64 will increase the cost by $1,497.87. He also expressed concern with the
proposed 3% annual automatic increase. Mr. Mulders stated at peak times Witzke's,
Rekker and Link Greenhouses employ approximately 200 people noting most
employees reside in Clarington and that these businesses are major contributors to
the local economy. He expressed concern that their input costs are rising and the
return per unit has gone down or has remained the same requiring them to keep
expanding to maintain a certain level of income. Mr. Mulders acknowledged the. need
to charge building permit fees but noted that the work involved to issue a permit is
almost the same as' /2 acre greenhouse project and that greenhouses should not be
under the same umbrella as livestock barns and other farm buildings. Mr. Mulders
requested that greenhouses be capped at a maximum building permit fee.

"a) THAT for the 2011 property taxation year, the municipal property tax
ratios for the occupied property tax classes for the Regional
Municipality of Durham remain unchanged from the 2010 levels, as
follows:
Multi- Residential
1.8665
Commercial Residual , Shopping Centre and Office
1.4500
Building
Industrial Residual and Large Industrial
2.2598
Pipelines
1.2294
Farmland
0.2000
Managed Forests
0.2500
b) THAT the Minister of Finance be requested to make the following
changes to Provincial legislation and associated regulations relating
to Current Value Assessment (CVA) Taxation Policy in order to
achieve greater fairness and equity:
Council Meeting Minutes -12- March 28, 2011
i) Provincial Statutory Rates that Determine Municipal Payments
In light of a recent Supreme Court of Canada decision that
found municipal payments from federal government properties
`must be based on the system that actually exists at the place
where the property in question is located,' and in keeping with
the May 25, 2010 resolution from the Kingston City Council
(SC #53), the Province, in consultation with the municipal
sector, review and update the current statutory rates on the
following property types and institute a process by which these
rates are automatically updated in the future:
(a) Hospitals, Prisons, Post Secondary Education Institutions
(Heads & Beds — last updated in 1987);
(b) Raiiway /Hydro Right of Ways (Linear Properties — last
updated in 1998);
(c) Nuclear Generating Facilities (last updated in 1968);
ii) Farmland
The Province match the municipal tax ratio reductions (20 %)
on the Farmland property tax class by reducing the
Provincial Education Taxation Rate for this property tax
class as a means to assist the farming community.
• Regional Council endorse SC #91 from the United Counties
of Stormont, Dundas and Glengary requesting that the
Province reimburse municipalities for lost property taxes
resulting from the 1998 downloading of the Farmland Rebate
program and the resultant lowering of the farmland ratio;
iii) Assessment Appeals
• In light of numerous and continuous large property
assessment appeals that have and continue to have the
potential to negatively impact the Regional assessment base
which in turn affects all Regional taxpayers, and in keeping
with the Region's responsibilities for setting Region -wide
property tax policy, the Province revise the Assessment Act
to include upper tier municipalities in the assessment appeal
process;
Council Meeting Minutes -13- March 28, 2011
iv) Municipal Capital Facilities
The Province amend Section 110 of the Municipal Act, 2001
in order to permit a municipality in a two- tiered municipal
structure the option to exempt a municipal capital facility
from full or partial portion of only its share of the property
taxes, as it pertains to such a facility;
v) Municipal Consultations
Prior to legislating any further changes to current value
assessment and /or property taxation policy, the Province
complete a Province -wide property -by- property impact
analysis and municipalities be both consulted and advised of
the potential impacts;
Any future changes to the current value assessment and /or
property taxation policy by the province be conducted over a
reasonable time -frame to ensure municipalities and
taxpayers are consulted and prepared for the
implementation in a well- informed and proactive manner;
vi) Assessment and Taxation of 'Green Initiatives'
Since the trends toward 'Green Initiatives' are anticipated to

D - 7 Debbie Shields, City Clerk, City of Pickering, writing to the Central
East Local Health Integration Network advising that on March 21,
2011, the City of Pickering adopted the following resolution
pertaining to Ajax Pickering Hospital:
"WHEREAS in the spring and summer of 2008, during the public
discussions regarding elimination of mental health beds at the Ajax -
Pickering Hospital, members of Friends of the Ajax- Pickering
Hospital wrote to the Minister of Health asking that the Rouge Valley
Health System be dissolved and that the Ajax- Pickering Hospital be
amalgamated with the Lakeridge Health Network; and
WHEREAS the Ajax- Pickering Hospital is undergoing a major
expansion of emergency care facilities. There was also to have
been an expansion of mental health in- patient services but RVHS
decided last year to relocate all of those services to Centenary.
Despite public outcry in opposition to this change, both the LHIN and
the Courts have ruled that changes such as this one, within a
healthcare corporation, are not subject to external review; and
WHEREAS the projections indicate that the population of Durham
Region will grow at more than twice the rate of any other community
or, county within the CELHIN. The total population of Durham will
quickly and significantly exceed that of Scarborough; and
WHEREAS as the Region's population grows it will be crucial to
have a coordinated, Region -wide view to implementing and
managing healthcare resources and none of these are more
important than the critical care hospitals serving the Region. A
single corporation focused on Durham Region is the simplest and
most affordable way to realize this goal; and
Summary of Correspondence - 5 - April 11, 2011
WHEREAS a Durham Region focus will significantly improve
fundraising from all three sources within Durham Region: local and
regional focus will appeal to the local nature of communities. As the
communities of Durham Region grow from Pickering to Newcastle
there is a legitimate expectation that a broad range of medical
services will be available here.
NOW THEREFORE the Council for the City of Pickering supports a
single hospital corporation for all communities within Durham
Region; and,
THAT the Central East Local Health Integration Network be
requested to explore how this goal might be best achieved to serve
the residents of Durham Region; and,
THAT all municipalities in Durham Region and the CELIHN be so
advised."
(Motion for Direction)

Committee Services, Regional Municipality of Halton, advising
Council that on March 30, 2011, the Regional Municipality of Halton
adopted the following resolution pertaining to Harmonized Sales Tax
(HST) revenue and a new funding mechanism for transportation
infrastructure:
"WHEREAS the introduction of the Harmonized Sales Tax (H.S.T.)
on July 1, 2010, and its application to gasoline and diesel sales will
result in new revenue for the Government of Ontario; and
WHEREAS based on 2010 average price levels of gasoline and
diesel, and 2009 average consumption levels in Ontario, the
Government of Ontario's projected new revenue will be
approximately $1.53 billion annually; and
WHEREAS the Provincial - Municipal Fiscal and Service Delivery
Review identified a transportation infrastructure investment gap
between the Government of Ontario and Ontario's municipalities of
approximately $3.8 billion; and
Summary of Correspondence - 6 - April 11, 2011
WHEREAS a lack of sufficient funding for essential transportation
infrastructure construction, maintenance and rehabilitation has
created a situation where many of Ontario's municipalities do not
have the financial capacity to construct new transportation
infrastructure and conduct the maintenance and rehabilitation
needed to sustain existing transportation infrastructure; and
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the Regional
Municipality of Halton requests that the Government of Ontario
consider directing a portion of the revenue derived from HST
charged on gasoline and diesel sales to a new predictable funding
mechanism that will allow Ontario's municipalities to make the critical
investments needed to be effective stewards of transportation
infrastructure; and
FURTHER THAT a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Premier
Dalton McGuinty, Hon. Dwight Duncan, Minister of Finance, Hon.
Kathleen Wynne, Minister of Transportation, Hon. Bob Chiarelli,
Minister. of Infrastructure, the Ontario Good Roads Association and
to CAA South Central Ontario; and

to the Honourable Dalton McGuinty, Premier of Ontario, advising that

b) THAT a copy of Joint Report #2011 -J -21. be forwarded to the
Ministry of Transportation, Ministry of the Environment, Ministry

c) THAT the Province be advised that the Region of Durham's
position on the Highway 407 East extension is:
THAT the Province honour its commitment to deliver the entire
Highway 407 East undertaking by providing a definitive schedule
for the next procurement process to complete the Highway 407
extension to Highway 35/115, as promised; and
d) THAT the following resolution from the City of Oshawa, as

be completed in one continuous phase; and
WHEREAS the Province has recognized the importance of

create jobs for all southern Ontario thereby ensuring that Ontario
businesses can compete on the world stage; and
WHEREAS the Province has stated that due to financial
constraints it must phase the construction of the 407 extension;
Summary of Correspondence - 8 - April 11, 2011
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Province be
requested to immediately proceed with the continuous
construction of the 407 extension from Brock Road to Pickering
to Hwy 35/115 through the issue of a RFP based on a Public
Private Partnership (P3) where the Province would retain control
and ownership under a funding model inclusive of the capital
construction, ongoing maintenance and operation costs and a
schedule of user fees which would respond to the market,
encourage and support the use of truck traffic, and that this
motion be forwarded to the Region of Durham, Durham
Municipalities, Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes, Cavan - Monahan,
Ontario MPs and MPPs, and AMO'."

There was one ground vibration exceedence on September 14/10, and only one air vibration
exceedence recorded since the beginning of 2010.
a) Quarry Operations
The quarry is back into a routine of blasting once or twice a week. The overburden hauling

located. Operations mining levels are 1, 2, and 3 while CBM is producing at level 4 for
aggregate. Although there is no graphic, no blasting exceedances for ground vibrations and air
vibration since the last CRC meeting in September, 2010. There were two blast exceedances in
2010, one air vibration on January 27th (129 dBL) and one ground vibration on September 7th
(13.2 mm /s). The quarry manager continues to work with the blasting contractor to have no
exceedances.

5. Review of Communication Procedures
Page 5
At the present time, complaints should go directly to St. Marys Cement. The Human Resources
Manager is the main contact for communication with the community for concerns, complaints
and general information. . The HR Manager will gather the appropriate information from the
Quarry Manager or Environmental Manager and will contact the complainant within 24 hours if
note the same business day. The HR Manager. can designate an alternative employee to
conduct follow up actions depending on the expertise required. The HR Manager will document
community concerns and will report their status during the quarterly CRC meetings.
St. Marys believes that communicating directly with the complainant is important to get the exact
nature of the complaint rather than through a Blog.
The Committee suggested that the next newsletter should reiterate the communication protocol.
If there is something that requires more attention, than a larger meeting can be held. For
example, the pet coke incident a few years ago. A drop down tab on their website may be
another way to convey the protocol.
St. Marys is required to contact MOE if there is an exceedance. MOE is another way to review
any exceedances.
