And whereas during the state of emergency certain services have been
deemed essential services by the Government of Ontario;
And whereas citizens are asked to isolate at home to reduce the spread of
COVID-19 as essential workers continue to work and provide an essential
service to their community;
And whereas essential workers across the country are risking their lives;
Municipality of Clarington Page 3
Report GGR-011-20
And whereas some essential workers have been stricken with illness,
suffered trauma or injury, or lost their lives as a result of providing an
essential service;
And whereas without this dedicated workforce, essential services, including
but not limited to, healthcare, police, fire, paramedics, military, social
services, community services, food distribution, agriculture, postal and
delivery services, education, security, transit, financial services, hospitality,
commerce, manufacturing, construction, maintenance and repair, waste
management, sanitation services, government, and administrative services
would fail to function;
And whereas our community owes a profound debt of gratitude to every
single essential worker who ensured our community could continue to
operate;
Now therefore, the Municipal Council of The Corporation of the City of
Brantford Hereby Resolves as follows:
a. That March 17 be proclaimed by the Council for The Corporation of
the City of Brantford to be Essential Workers Day in the City of
Brantford;
b. That the Clerk be directed to provide a copy of this resolution, with

Whereas many Rural Communities do not have access to broadband
Internet and use the LTE Network as a bridge to the Internet;
And whereas during the COVID-19 Health Emergency, the ability to access
the Internet is an essential service that enables the Public to have reliable up
to date information from various levels of government;
Municipality of Clarington
Report GGR-011-20

8. Top Aggregate Producing Municipalities (TAPMO) Resolution
Regarding Assessment Scheme for Aggregate Resource Properties
Whereas previous assessment methodologies for aggregate resource properties
valued areas that were used for aggregate resources or gravel pits at industrial land
rates on a per acre basis of the total site and such properties were formally
classified and taxed as industrial lands;
And whereas the Council of the Municipality of Clarington supports a fair and
equitable assessment system for all aggregate resource properties;
And whereas the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation determined, with the
participation only of the Ontario Sand, Stone and Gravel Association, revised
criteria for assessing aggregate resource properties;
And whereas the Council of the Municipality of Clarington has concerns that the
revised criteria does not fairly assess the current value of the aggregate resource
properties;
Now Therefore Be It Resolved:

revised criteria for assessment of aggregate resource properties as a fair
method of valuation for these properties;
(b) That the Council of the Municipality of Clarington believes there is a need
