"CARRIED" Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, advising Council that the Aquatic Resource Technicians are zapping local waterways to investigate the fish communities in the Oshawa Creek Watershed induding the Goodman Creek Tributary. Electrofishing is just one of the data collection techniques completed at each of the sites and involves the use of a backpack unit that emits an electric current into the water. The electrical shock stuns fish long enough for them to be netted and placed in a special storage unit. The shock is not harmful to the fish and the storage reduces the level of stress experienced by the fish. The fish revive in a few seconds and are then grouped according to species, measured, counted and released. This program involves two Field Crews that will be studying 55 sites to gather data for the Oshawa Creek Watershed Aquatic Resource Management Plan (ARMP). (Received for Information) . . .

(Received for Information) Canadian Nudear Safety Commission, advising Council that Canada's nudear regulator has a major make-over with the launch of the Canadian Nudear Safety Commission (CNSC). The new federal agency replaces the Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB), which served Canada for more than half a century. The Commission's creation follows the coming into force of the Nuclear Safety and Control Act on May 31, 2000. The new act replaces the Atomic Energy Control Act adopted in 1946. The revamped law and regulations represent the first major overhaul of Canada's nudear regulatory regime since the AECB was established in the post-war period. The new legislation reflects the increased focus on health, safety, security and environmental protection in recent years. The new regulations under the Nuclear Safety and Control Act are in keeping with current legal, financial, and technical standards. Every effort is being made to ensure a smooth transition to the new regime. The more than 4,000 nudear licences administered by the Commission will be progressively revised. There is a phase-in period for some provisions of the new act and regulations for a period of six months to two years. These temporary exemptions will not pose a risk to health, safety, security or the environment. (Received for Information) Minutes of the Animal Advisory Committee dated May 10,2000.

The Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MOHL TC) has also made it dear that it will continue to 100% fund dispatch costs. In addition, the 1999 call data has been released, so municipalities have more information for planning and budgeting. There are several other decisions on funding that MOHL TC must make regarding ambulance services.

(Received for Information) Management Board Secretariat, advising that the Management Board Chair, Chris Hodgson announced the government's plan for a three year pause in the expansion of new charity casinos, new commercial casinos, and charity casinos at race tracks in the province. The Province, however, will continue to honour current commitments and accept the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLGC)'s recommendation for a single charity casino in Eastern Ontario, pending a positive referendum result from a host community. This announcement means: . No table games at OLGC slot facilities at race tracks; . The government is reaffirming its 1998 commitment that there will be no video lottery terminals (VL Ts) in neighbourhood bars and restaurants; and . There will be no new commercial or charity casinos in a new host community beyond existing commitments, including the one new site as identified by the OLGC. Many municipalities have expressed interest in hosting a charity casino, and the government is taking these steps now to prevent municipalities from making unnecessary investments. (Received for Information) Association of Municipalities of Ontario, regarding a comprehensive action plan for protecting drinking water. The Plan calls for action on three fronts: distribution, dealing with sources, and defining and darifying responsibilities. AMO has called for an immediate tripartite partnership which will accelerate and enhance federal and provincial infrastructure investment using the increased surpluses they are experiencing. AMO is looking for a shift in funding priorities to focus on core infrastructure needs as well as a change to the requirement for private sector dollars since this may not be possible for many parts of Ontario. In order to deal with quantity and quality issues, the Plan looks for a comprehensive, sustainable water management strategy. The strategy must encompass, among other matters, strong planning principles to protect sources and must involve province-wide mapping and the monitoring of underground water resources and the development of information systems that support effective decision making. . . . Council Minutes COMMUNICATIONS - 11 - June 26, 2000 The authority for implementing nutrient management strategies and the reaffirmation ofthe provincial interest in effective drainage management are critical to ensuring safe water. Defining and clarifying responsibilities requires a comprehensive water protection policy and legislation with enforceable water protection regulations. Resources must be aligned with responsibility, induding timely and effective investigations and the investment in research and new technology. We also need immediate financial resources when disaster strikes. Windsor City Council unanimously passed a resolution supporting AMO's Municipal Action Plan for Protecting Ontario's Water. They are requesting that other municipalities take similar action. The Rural Executive lent its support at a recent meeting.

"CARRIED" . Council Minutes - 13- June 26, 2000 COMMUNICATIONS D - 1 M02.GE Walter H. Gibson, on behalf of the Terry Fox Foundation, requesting permission to hold the Terry Fox Run in the Municipality of Cia ring ton. This year's run is planned for September 17,2000. The run will mark the 20th Anniversary of the Terry Fox Run throughout Canada. It is planned that the event will be held at the same location and will follow the same route as in previous years. The start/finish will be at the Memorial Park Clubhouse at Liberty and Park Streets in Bowmanville. (Approved provided the organization applies for and obtains a Road Occupancy Permit) D -2 F22.DE Brian Collins, President, Durham Region Home Builders' Association, advising Council that pursuant to the Municipality of Cia ring ton's announcement that we intend to review and possibly increase the current Development Charges By-law by $1700.00, members of Durham Region Home Builders' Association has grave concerns with the impacts of the proposed increase. The Association understands the need for municipal facilities, but is also the voice of the Residential Construction in Durham Region, and as such they are concerned that such a large increase in Development Charges will have a negative impact on residential growth and overall assessment growth. These increases will eventually be passed onto their customers, but before that happens developers and builders will have to finance projects with funds out of their own or borrowed resources; and that could possibly lead to the cancellation of current proposed developments. Increases in pricing will push the price of a new home in Clarington to the point that they will no longer be competitive with Oshawa and surrounding areas. These increases could also make the difference between a family deciding to purchase or to rent. Let us not forget that we are all working for our customer, whether they be a purchaser or tax payer. The Association maintains that any increase would be detrimental to future growth in Clarington, but understands that there are pressures in Clarington to provide these facilities. Therefore they would purpose the following: 1. Reduce the proposed increase by one third or approximately $570.00 per single family dwelling and proportionate reductions for other unit types 2. Phase the reduced increase over three (3) years at increments of one third 3. Cap the increase at the amount as reduced by one third for the duration of the By-law.

According to Preliminary Environmental Assessment 1994, more woodlots will be removed, there will be 310m channelization of cold stream creek, impact on spawning grounds, removal of riparian woodlot, etc. Altogether, there will be a major impact on ecosystem integrity. The link will divide the watershed in half, diverting the water flow. Wetlands 1,2,3 located within the urban boundary and wetlands 4, 7, 13, 14 (link) will be removed. When 60% of wetland/woodlot was already removed, how much more will be removed with these two activities? Do we think that this wetland and in fact whole ecosystem can survive?

For the most part he has enjoyed the Committee work and believes a start has been made on the efforts to protect this wonderful piece of property for residents now and the future. He volunteered for the Committee because he wanted to make a difference. He finds himself to be very frustrated in attempting to accomplish that objective. He has appreciated the support of Cynthia Strike and Ed Belsey and their efforts to get things done. However, he believes that there is a need to do much more.

"CARRIED" Paul Temple, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development, Pelmorex Communications Inc., requesting support for a new emergency alert system - via your television set - for which they are currently seeking regulatory approval from the CRTC. This new technology, developed by Pelmorex Communications Inc., could represent a major step forward in both emergency and environmental preparedness in our area. This new Canadian technology, the All Channel Alert (ACA) system, would allow authorized government agencies to quickly alert cable television viewers to unexpected or imminent threats to life or property. Initially, the system would transmit severe weather-related warnings from Environment Canada, but eventually municipal authorities would be able to access the system to alert citizens to other types of emergencies in the local viewing area, such as industrial accidents or local flooding. There will be no fee for use of this service by authorized government users. . . . Council Minutes COMMUNICATIONS D-1l Government Week Distinction Awards M02.GE - 17- June 26, 2000 The technology can intercept ALL channels distributed by cable companies in the local area affected by the emergency and overlay a warning message on the television screen. It is a quick and efficient way for information to be relayed to Canadians and it complements other more traditional means of receiving such information. Remarkably, Canada has no such national emergency alert system. While these types of alerts have been available for years in the United States, there is no similar service in Canada. They have applied to the CRTC to amend their broadcasting license in order to provide the ACA service. That process is well underway, and they anticipate that the CRTC will render its decision late this summer. However, a public consultation process has started for which they would appreciate the Municipality ofClarington's declared support. The deadline to write to the CRTC is July 5, 2000. Resolution #C-356-00 Moved by Councillor Novak, seconded by Councillor Mutton THAT the Council of the Municipality of Clarington support Pelmorex Communications Inc. application to the CRCT to amend their broadcasting licence in order to provide the ACA service; and THAT a letter of support be forwarded to the CRCT prior to the deadline of July 5, 2000.
