Association of Municipalities of Ontario, regarding amendments to
Bill 35, The Energy Competition Act, 1998, that affect municipal rate
applications to the Ontario Energy Board. The Legislation, "An Act to
Promote Efficiency in the Municipal Electricity Sector and to Protect
Consumers From Unjustified Rate Increases," if passed, will have
significant implications for those municipalities deciding to stay in the
business. Many have complied with all the provisions and regulations of
Bill 35 and have filed rate applications with the OEB. AMO has received
a copy of the legislation, and while a full analysis is not complete, it
appears that the OEB will have the authority to disallow rate increases
attributable to assets, or to financing transactions and costs where these do
not stay in the electricity system. The OEB will be given the power to
review and ask for detailed financial data to determine whether rate
increases are justifiable. It is undear whether the Bill will be passed
before the legislature rises for the summer. Notwithstanding when the Bill
is passed, now or in the Fall Session, municipalities with rate increase
applications will have to justify those increases. If a municipality's
business plan involves the transfer of assets or cash from the utility to the
municipality, then the legislation means that these business arrangements
will have to be undone.

Ian D. Macnab, General Manager/Secretary-Treasurer, Kawartha
Conservation Authority, advising Council that the Ministry ofthe
Environment (MOE) has identified conservation authorities as the lead
partner in the protection and management of the province's groundwater
resources. As an outcome of this, MOE will shortly enter into agreements
with conservation authorities across Ontario to develop and implement a
groundwater monitoring network. The information collected under this
program will provide necessary baseline data about the groundwater in the
watershed and will provide information about ambient groundwater
conditions. The data will serve the efforts of the province in its
groundwater management programs and in the development of
scientifically based policy. It will serve the municipalities with
information on which to base planning decisions, will serve the
agricultural community for its water management needs and will provide
the information necessary to protect the public supply and interest. At its
May 24th meeting, the Board of Directors authorized Kawartha
Conservation to participate in the groundwater monitoring agreement.

The Board is in agreement with the general thrust of the monitoring
program, recognizing that such monitoring is a critical component for the
long term protection of the groundwater resource. At the same time
however, the Board strongly believes that groundwater is a resource of
provincial significance and as such, post start-up operating expenses
should be provincially funded and not added to the property tax bases.
Therefore, while Kawartha Conservation will enter into an agreement with
MOE to monitor groundwater, the Board of Directors strongly believes the
Province should provide operating funds for the long-term benefit of the
program and will work with Conservation Ontario towards this end.

concerning the financial situation at Bethesda House. He has noted
several actions taken by various community partners to address this
shelter's funding needs. He is pleased to inform Council that the Ministry
of Community and Social Services will provide $26,000 for the 2000-
200 I fiscal year to support community outreach work at Bethesda House.
The shelter received the ministry's entire $26,000 commitment in April.
He is certain these funds will ease financial pressure at Bethesda House.
The funds will also cover women and children's group counselling and the
purchase of the crisis telephone counselling line, which will benefit both
the shelter and outreach services. He has been advised that on

. A large trench was dug at the back of the property, adjacent to the
developed property on the north east side of the lot. The trench has
been left to fill with stagnant water and breed insects
. Noxious weeds are left to grow unchecked
. There is also concern that construction workers are using the make
shift shed as a portable out house
Residents have complained to the owner of the property, Schickedanz
Bros. Ltd. in the past and minimal solutions were offered. This spring
there have been many loads of soil dumped on the property, and a large
construction waste container has been placed there. They feel these latest
additions have added several safety hazards to local residents, especially
children. The construction water container has been full of discarded
construction materials as well as household garbage, it smells foul and
residents are concerned that this will attract vermin to the area. This
property should not be treated as a storage area and dumping ground for
the Schickedanz construction company. They feel they have been tolerant
long enough. These lots should either be developed or maintained in a
manner in keeping with the neighbourhood.

Lise Henry-Kean submitting a letter of opposition to the revised Zoning
By-law Amendment submitted by Kingsberry Properties to change the
zone category of a 6.2 hectare parcel of land located in Part Lot 31,
Concession 3, in the former Township of Darlington. She is opposed to
the proposed zoning by-law amendment based on environmental concerns,
population density, efficiency and costs, the public school block,

Katie Clark expressing her wish to have a study done of the school
crossing at the intersection of King Street E. and Beaver Street in
Newcastle. As a resident of Newcastle, she has observed heavy traffic
often going faster than the posted speed limit, through this school
crossing. It has been her unfortunate experience that it is the rare
exception when a motorist stops to allow pedestrians to cross outside of
the hours when the crossing guard is there. As a mother of a young child,
she is becoming increasingly concerned that one day someone will be hit
trying to cross between the fast-moving cars. It is her guess that the
increased traffic going to and from the new subdivision and the new IGA
location on King St. E. is largely responsible for the heavy traffic. As for
the speed at which vehides travel through the school crossing, she is at a
loss to explain these motorists' disregard for the safety of those attempting
to cross the street. It is her hope that a traffic study would deem it
appropriate and necessary to install a working crosswalk (i.e. one with
traffic lights or flashing signals) at this location.
Failing that, it is her request that regular radar be posted at this location as
a deterrent to speeding motorists.

Sylvia Brownell advising of a situation on Liberty Street North in
Bowmanville. Liberty Street is now becoming a major artery to access the
downtown area and to enter/exit the 401 highway. With the accelerated
growth of Clarington, it was just a matter of time for this situation to
explode to a dangerous situation. She is informing us of the speed of
drivers on Liberty Street North. Several situations has prompted her to
write this letter. Firstly was the knowledge gained that Clarington has a
minimum of five Police Officers and one Sergeant on day shift. Those
numbers make it difficult to answer to service calls as well as doing traffic
enforcement.

How can our community be properly protected? How can these Officers
enforce the laws of the land? How can our Police Officers enforce the
speed limits?
Secondly, how can the Municipality agree to construct sidewalks very
close to the road where probably only 1 in 15 people do the speed limit of
50 km/hr? One of our citizens was recently killed in the same area. It is
against the law to walk on a 400 highway but it doesn't seem to be against
the law to speed on Liberty Street North. Something must be done to
resolve this issue or she is sad to say we are going to start losing our
pedestrians/children. We have to enforce the speed limit and slow down
the drivers on Liberty Street North. She is asking all residents to slow
down. She is also asking for a study to be done to determine the average
speed on Liberty Street North. The results of this study would indicate a
situation that warrants resolve. With the future development of the
Liberty Street North area, this situation is only going to get worse.
Something must be done now. She has witnessed motorcydes traveling so
fast on Liberty Street that she cannot determine what colour they are.
Ms. Brownell is asking the Municipality to take the initiative to look into
this situation and advise concerned residents of Liberty Street of what
actions are going to be taken.

Florence Carnochan and Robert Hackey, advising Council that they are
against the issuing of any permits that would allow the existing
Automotive Repair and Body Shop to be legally recognized at 3872
Courtice Road, Courtice. The reasons for this are simple:
. They currently rely on ground water as their main source of water, and
they feel that the chances of an accidental spill that would contaminate
the water table would greatly increase with the increase in business
that the Body Shop would get by being legally recognized
. The increase in traffic would be a safety issue for the children in the
area
. The additional lighting from a large parking lot and Business Signs
would have a negative effect on the area, as this is a quiet residential
area
They have voiced their opinion before regarding this application on a few
different occasions. They have no problem with people who wish to run a
small house business, but when the business will negatively affect the
area in which it is run, then it should not be allowed.

"CARRIED"
Alan Broadbent, Chairman and CEO, Avana Capital Corporation,
requesting consideration and endorsement of a proposed draft called
"Towards a Greater Toronto Charter". The greater metropolitan regions
across the world are the principal engines of the economy, culture, and
society. This is as true in Canada, one of the most urbanized countries, as
it is elsewhere. The Toronto Region generates a quarter of Canada's gross
domestic product; its population is a fifth of Canada's total. That
population has swelled by people coming to the Region from across
Canada and around the world. The happy result is a vibrant and
complicated Region with complex and varied needs. These assets of a
dynamic population call out for sophisticated and specific government
sensitive to such local conditions. But the current constitutional structure
in Canada gives cities little control over their destinies, and limited
authority to respond to the needs of their citizens. Such little authority as
they enjoy can easily be under-cut or over-called by provincial and federal
governments. In the Toronto Region, this means they have limited
capacity to respond to the complex health needs of a diverse urban
population, or to structure education to release its rich potential, or to
transport it efficiently, or generally to decide how to allocate the vast
resources that are generated in tax paid to the provincial and federal
governments. This resulting mismatch between needs and resources
affects everyone who lives or works in, or visits, the Region.
It also limits their ability to flourish, which in turn hurts those other parts
of Canada who depend on their success for transfers of about 6 billion
currently. Mr. Broadbent is encouraging the Municipality of Clarington
to:
. Review The Charter, sign it and return our signatures on the tear-off
form to his office;
. Circulate The Charter to our colleagues, neighbours, our Board of
Directors, and many others for their consideration and potential
endorsement;
. Visit their web site regularly to be kept informed of activities relevant
to The Charter;
