Clarington Road Watch Committee to present their year-end report. The
Committee members have volunteered over 350 hours, during which time
over 500 report forms have been collected from the drop boxes in local

Smith from the Clarington Community Police Station confirms that the
response from citizens contacted through this program has been positive.
He feels that the Road Watch Program assists with making our community
a safer place to live. The Committee appreciates the continued support it
has received from the Municipality of Clarington and from the Durham
Regional Police. As well there is continued support for the program in the
community. Ontario Power Generation and the Newcastle District
Chamber of Commerce will be providing additional donations in the
future and the Road Safety Marketing Office of the Ministry of
Transportation of Ontario has provided a $3,000 grant. The number of
secure locations for drop boxes where people can leave their report forms

"awareness, education and enforcement." Mr. Raddiffe and Mrs. Stroud
feel that they have made a good start toward these goals during their first
year of operation.

Brian Bremner, 1716 Nash Road, Courtice, LlE 2L8, in opposition to the
construction of sidewalks on the north side of Nash Road between Trulls
Road and Courtice Road. Mr. Clark advised that this would become a
magnet for Courtice High School students to loiter in front of the homes
on this side of Nash Road. In the past, whenever difficulties have risen
with students from the school, the principal of Courtice High has advised
the residents to call the police department. However, when police are
called, the residents have received no response. There in presently no
pedestrian traffic on the north side of Nash Road and therefore Mr. Clark
requested that the construction of this sidewalk be deferred for one year at
which time the decision can be reconsidered and reevaluated. Mr. Clark
also requested that the speed limit on Nash Road be decreased to 40 km/hr
as an added safety measure in the area.

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).

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.

Association of Municipalities of Ontario, updating Council on the status of
the Province's funding commitment for the land ambulance transfer. On
March 23, 1999, Finance Minister, the Honourable Ernie Eves, announced
that "effective January I, 1999, the Province will assume half the
'approved cost' of land ambulances..." Since the announcement, AMO
has been working with the provincial government through the Land
Ambulance Implementation Steering Committee (LAISC) on a number of
transition matters, induding the definition of 'approved costs'. LAISC
has had some success. On May 15, 2000 the Ministry sent a memorandum
to each Upper Tier Municipality/Designated Delivery Agent (UTM/DDA)
that stated the Ontario Government Pharmacy and the Judson Street Store
would remain open for five years. 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. These issues indude base costs, provincial
funding to meet the Ministry's mandated response time standard and
transitional costs.

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.

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.

(MTO) has retained Cole, Sherman Consulting Engineers to undertake a
Planning and Preliminary Design Study to examine the long term
requirements on Highway 35 from the junction of Highway 115 northerly

people and goods through Victoria County. This study will investigate
alternative strategies for widening Highway 35 from two to four lanes.
Alternatives will indude various medians to improve safety by separating
the northbound and southbound traffic. Some median alternatives will
result in turning restrictions at private entrances, or road dosures at
Highway 35. Alternatives will also include interchanges and fly-overs.
These alternatives may affect the way local residents and businesses
access their property. A Study Design has been prepared which describes

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.

more woodlots will be removed, there will be 310m channelization of

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,

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.

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.

William Salter, President, Ontario Senior Games Association, inviting
Council to apply as the host of the 2003 Ontario Senior Games-
Provincial Championships, known as Winterfest 2003. The Ontario
Senior Games - Winterfest Games are held every two years and are the
highest profile winter multi-event competition for seniors in Ontario.
Please note that the OSGA Winterfest 2003 is traditionally scheduled to be
held in late February to mid March. Ontario Senior Games - Winterfest
offers substantial benefits to the host communities. Host communities
gain recognition across the province, as seniors come to participate,
generating interest in the local economy and increasing tourism. The
Games leave a legacy of human and financial resources; upgrading
facilities; increased interest in both existing and new events developed for
the community; trained volunteers; skilled officials; new sources of
sponsorship; and community cooperation. The legacy is felt long after the
closing ceremonies and the civic pride created within the residents, which
provides a sense of belonging and accomplishment within the community.
It is anticipated that the 2003 host city will be announced in February
2001. In order to make this announcement, it is necessary to follow the
strict timelines established for the bid application:
1. Deadline for receipt of a 'Letter of Intent' which would state that
our community will be submitting a bid proposal for consideration
as a possible host for OSGA Winterfest 2003 is October 2, 2000
2. Deadline for receipt of bid proposal application is November 30,
2000.

Linda Andrew, Clerk, Township of Ashfield, advising that the Township
of Ashfield on June 6, 2000, passed the following resolution:
"WHEREAS the Township of Ashfield has enacted one of the
most stringent Manure Management By-laws in the Province of
Ontario;
AND WHEREAS this By-law requires the completion of a
Nutrient Management Plan for the construction of new livestock
facilities, or the addition to existing facilities, which results in a
livestock operation of over 100 animal units, such plans receiving
a third party review by OMAFRA;
AND WHEREAS in Ashfield Township, these intensive livestock
operations are spreading liquid manure with runoff which has been
proven to be entering the drainage systems, making its way to Lake
Huron, in spite of the Manure Management By-law, their Nutrient
Management Plans and the OMAFRA guidelines;
AND WHEREAS the Ministry of the Environment has suffered
cutbacks to the point that its inspectors have admitted that they
cannot respond to every call they get about manure runoff entering
our water systems, within the critical time frame;
AND WHEREAS the Government of Ontario has said that it will
hold an Inquiry into the issues surrounding the contamination of
the water system in Walkerton by E. Coli bacteria;
AND WHEREAS the Township of Ashfield feels that it is prudent
and imperative, in light ofthe recent tragedy in Walkerton, for the
Government of Ontario to conduct an investigation into the issues
surrounding the guarantee of quality of water, both urban and rural,
including the identification of potential hazards for contamination;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Township of
Ashfield hereby demands that the Government of Ontario
immediately put in place a moratorium prohibiting the construction
of any new liquid manure facilities or the addition to any existing
facilities, until it has been proven that the environment and our
drinking water will not be negatively impacted by them;
