The meeting reconvened at 7:33 p.m. DELEGATIONS Beth Meszaros addressed Council, on behalf of Clarington Citizens for Clean Water and Soil ( CCCWS), concerning Items #14 and #17 of Report #1 - Delegation of Ted Meszaros regarding the Morgan's Road Commercial Fill Operation and Request to the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority, Ms. Meszaros indicated CCCWS is a group of volunteers concerned about the impact of the dumping of fill at 4148 Highway #2, Newcastle, commonly known as the Morgan's Road site. Ms. Meszaros highlighted the group's strategic priorities to stop the dumping of uncharacteristic soil, to advocate for proper testing of the surface water and soil with written public notification of the results and to ensure that stronger regulations are implemented with respect to the movement of large amounts of commercial fill. Ms. Meszaros expressed concern that the soil being brought to the Morgan's Road site is not characteristic to the area. She stated that although the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) recommends Table 2 criteria material as appropriate fill, MOE soil tables were not designed with large commercial fill sites in mind and that Table 2 contains 117 contaminants. Ms. Meszaros stated the MOE has acknowledged that there is currently no provincial legislation that regulates soil quality used for infilling purposes other than the soil cannot be hazardous waste and cannot impact water quality off site. She questioned how material that could potentially have 117 contaminants not have hazardous waste or not impact water quality off site. Ms. Meszaros referenced Ganaraska Region Conservation Area (GRCA) Permit #1089, issued on June 30, 2010, and questioned why the Conservation Authority did not revoke or amend the permit when they realized the permit did not address all the circumstances relating to large commercial fill sites. Ms. Meszaros indicated that Clarington's elected representatives need to push the GRCA Board to defer the new permit until all the pertinent permits, Directives and Orders have been fully resolved and complied with and can be enforced. Ms. Meszaros also stated that Council needs to send a strong message to the City of Toronto to advise that Clarington is an unwilling host for their brownfields. Ms. Meszaros urged Council to continue positive steps in informing the public and share information to dispel untruths and rumours. She shared quotes of many local residents who are frustrated with the process and are concerned with the disruption to their quality of life. Ms. Meszaros stated there needs to be stringent and effective regulation and monitoring to ensure that all contaminated soil is effectively treated on site or placed in licensed landfill sites designed to accept dangerous materials and to close the gap between science and policies. Council Meeting Minutes - 6 - June 20, 2011 In conclusion, Ms. Meszaros requested Council to support the MOE and the GRCA in the Environmental Review Tribunal, inform Toronto that Clarington is an unwilling host for their brownfields, urge the GRCA to defer the permit for the new application until all pertinent criteria has been met and conditions are enforceable and to do their due diligence and share information with all the taxpayers in Clarington. Sherry Ibbotson advised prior to the meeting that she would not be addressing Council. Jennifer Thomas -Dobbs was called but was not in attendance. Hannu Halminen, President, Valleymore Land Corp. addressed Council concerning Item #1 of Unfinished Business - Report PSD- 054 -11 - Rezoning Application to Comply with an Ontario Municipal Board Decision (Valleymore Land Corporation), Mr. Halminen stated he was in agreement with the staff recommendations that the bylaw amendment be passed. He stated the project was approved by the, Ontario Municipal Board almost 20 years ago and is in compliance with Provincial Policy Statement, the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, and the Official Plans of both the Region of Durham and the Municipality of Clarington. He noted the Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment indicated that there was no evidence of contamination on the property, an Updated Hydrogeolgical Report was prepared and is currently being peer reviewed, the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority has no objection to the proposed amendment, the Municipality has approved the grading plans and the Ontario Municipal Board buffer has been provided. Mr. Halminen requested that Council adopt the Zoning By -law amendments. Pam Callus addressed Council concerning Item #12 of Report #1 - Report PSD -052- 11 - Durham -York Energy From Waste Project Clarington Comments on Certificate of Approval Application (Air). Ms. Callus stated that on Saturday, May 14th five community volunteers conducted an informal survey on behalf of DurhamCLEAR regarding the incinerator project. Random citizens were surveyed outside of community centres and shopping malls in Clarington to determine whether citizens were in favour of the project as indicated in the beginning or whether they are opposed as was the general impression during the Municipal Elections. The results of the survey indicated that of those who had an opinion 62% were opposed to the project and 38% were in support. Ms. Callus stated that she is not representing those who were opposed but she is addressing Council because of them as they do not want this project in Clarington. If Clarington has to live with the incinerator, she urged Council to ensure that it is not at the expense of the health of residents. Ms. Callus advised that the Municipality already has an air quality problem and that there needs to be safeguards put in place for this facility to ensure that the air quality doesn't get any worse. Ms. Callus referenced evidence documenting Clarington's poor air quality including references to the Environmental Assessment where Clarington's air quality has been likened to that of Sarnia and Windsor. Council Meeting Minutes - 7 - June 20, 2011 She stated that air quality is an important component of an ideal community noting that Clarington ranked 41 out of 180 communities comparing 24 parameters for municipalities with a population greater than 10,000, but that Clarington ranked 116 out of 180 on the air quality parameter which was determined by parts per million ozone and suspended fine particulate matter as measured by the National Air Pollution Surveillance Network. Ms. Callus requested that Council make every effort to ensure that Report PSD- 052 -11 and the other resolutions recommended by the General Purpose and Administration Committee be adopted and that consistent, continuous state -of- the -art monitoring and government enforced operator accountability be provided for the sake of all Clarington residents, both present and future. Ruth Weyrich addressed Council concerning Item #1 of Unfinished Business - Report PSD- 054 -11 - Rezoning Application to Comply with an Ontario Municipal Board Decision (Valleymore Land Corporation) indicating that she lives immediately west of the construction project. Ms. Weyrich stated that she is concerned not only for her property but for her neighbours because of the wells that will be dug for the project. Ms. Weyrich stated that there are springs in the southwest corner of the property, east of her fence line that are bubbling out of the ground all year and the water is very clean: She advised that because her dam is between 20 -25 feet vertically deep, the springs that are next door to her are lower than the bottom of her pond. She stated that Lot 7 is mostly lowland and it is her opinion that there is not enough highland to put a septic tank there. Ms. Weyrich advised that the entire piece of land on the south side is all marsh land and very wet and if a septic tank is put in it will naturally run into the wetland and potentially pollute the watercourse. Ms. Weyrich also indicated that there are sinkholes and quicksand in the area and urged Council to consider whether it is appropriate to build on Lot 7. Victoria Sautner addressed Council concerning Item #17 of Report #1 - Morgan's Road Commercial Fill Operation — Request to the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority. Ms. Sautner indicated that she was addressing Council this evening on behalf of all the residents of Newcastle who are protesting the dump trucks that travel through Newcastle to the fill site on Morgan's Road.. Ms. Sautner stated that she has counted 42 dump trucks in one hour travelling at excessive speed through the village creating a very dangerous and noisy situation. Ms. Saunter advised that every day she has witnessed trucks travelling in excess of the speed limit, running red lights and taking over the centre line. She is concerned that someone will get killed and provided specific incidents in which both drivers and pedestrians have experienced near misses. Ms. Sautner expressed disappointment that while she has submitted three road watch reports and called 911 when she has encountered various situations, law enforcement agencies do not seem to care and nothing has stopped the trucks. Ms. Sautner shared the frustrations she has heard from many of the area residents. She stated that if a new permit is issued, the owner should not be permitted to truck fill through the town. Ms. Sautner expressed concern that students will soon be on summer vacation and the combination of the students and the dump trucks is an- accident waiting to happen. Council Meeting Minutes - 8 - June 20, 2011 Ms. Sautner acknowledged that the Municipality is doing all that it can but there are other routes that these trucks can use to haul fill to the site. Ms. Sautner urged Council to find a way to deliver a message to the operator to cease and desist trucking fill through Newcastle and indicated that she has confidence that Council will be able to affect change on the trucking issue and on the fill operation. Debra Jefferson addressed Council concerning Item #12 of Report #1 - Report PSD- 052-11 - Durham -York Energy From Waste Project Clarington Comments on Certificate of Approval Application (Air). Dr. Jefferson indicated that she has been involved in the opposition of this project for four years. She noted that on May 25, 2011, the Bowmanville Area Medical Association, representing 47 physicians, unanimously approved correspondence that was sent to the Ministry of the Environment during the Certificate of Approval process. Dr. Jefferson stated that physicians are concerned that ongoing emissions and monitoring parameters as outlined in the Certificate of Approval are not strict enough. She indicated that Clarington residents have been promised that the facility would have state -of- the -art monitoring and stringent regulations and urged that continuous monitoring of particulate matter be conducted as promised. Dr. Jefferson indicated that other healthcare organizations are monitoring this process and urged Council to adopt the recommendations of the General Purpose and Administration Committee to protect the citizens of Clarington. Deb Weyrich -Cody addressed Council concerning Item #1 of Unfinished Business - Report PSD- 054 -11 - Rezoning Application to Comply with an Ontario Municipal Board Decision (Valleymore Land Corporation). Ms. Weyrich -Cody stated that she has grave concerns with the assumptions made on the property especially with the lot on the southwest corner and the one to the immediate north of it. She indicated that in speaking with Mr. Mcllveen he stated that he had no issues and that approvals were received by the Regional Health Department and the Ganaraska Region Conservation Area but that if he were putting the septics into the lots he would use another type of bedding because it is safer and water would be guaranteed. Ms. Weyrich -Cody stated the lot on the southwest corner is tilted toward her mother's dam and that the topographical map provided as part of the Ontario Municipal Board report shows that the land falls away toward her mother's pond. She stated that the hydrogeologist has stated that all water would run where the streams are currently flowing along the south borders of .the property but she indicated that is not-consistent with the topographical map. Ms. Weyrich -Cody stated there is a second wetland on the lot north of Lot 7 that is at the same topographical level as the wetland in the middle of her mother's property. She stated there is quicksand in that area and that the previous owner had indicated that he would never build on Lot 7. She also expressed concern that the entranceway to the proposed development appears to be on the back side of the downside of a blind spot. Ms. Weyrich -Cody questioned who would be liable should the watershed be polluted or if excessive runoff and erosion should occur.

Sub - Committee Reports The site maintenance sub - committee met Wednesday May 18 to clear weeds from around the perimeter of the parking lot. On a separate date Jim Cleland also cleared some small trees from around the new viewing platform location. The parking lot and trails have yet to be graded by Operations so they will be reminded that this is an outstanding issue. Jim Cleland reported that a young oak tree planted last year along Toronto Street south of the railway tracks was leaning. He has straightened it with a stake but it requires a longer stake to support the upper portion of the tree. Geoff James, Brian Reid, and Pat Mulcahy have distributed posters for the Birds of Prey event to several different groups and schools. The weather forecast is good for June 18 so there could be a good turnout for the event. 5. Updates Kiosk Construction Taxis Contracting is currently framing the kiosk in their shop. They will be on -site the week of June 20 to dig post holes and pour footings. Page Graphics is preparing the final graphics for both sides of the sign panel and should have a copy for review the week of June 20. Viewing Platform Construction Willow Brook Contracting is starting construction of the viewing platform on June 15. Both projects are anticipated to be completed by July 15. Birds of Prey Event June 18 The Mountsberg Raptor Centre has been hired for a Birds of Prey themed event at the SWNA. Their presentation will give the public an opportunity to observe live birds of prey and learn about their characteristics, biohistory, and their adaptation to the habitat they live in. The location for the presentation is along the Waterfront Trail on the east side of the SWNA. Since the presentation involves exotic animals it required a Council exemption from the Municipality's Exotic Pet By -Law which prohibits the keeping of raptors within the municipality. The exemption was approved at the June 7 Council meeting. A one page brochure providing an overview of the SWNA and the Management Plan will be handed out to residents so that they can learn more about the area. The handout will also contain information about how the public can access and receive updates from the SWNA blog. Extra Garbage Cans The Operations Department has confirmed that they will supply 4 additional garbage cans. The committee would like to place 3 of the new garbage cans on the Toronto Street side of the SWNA and one on the Cobbledick side. They will be delivered in advance of June 18 so that they can be moved into place after the Birds of Prey presentation. 6. Other Business Trails Jim Cleland reported that there is a leftover pile of woodchips along the trail leading to the barrier beach. These woodchips can be spread to improve the existing trail. A date for that work will be established by the site maintenance committee. Future Planting Project Michael Goleski recommended that we investigate a future planting project. Most of the planting projects recommended in the Management Plan are complete or partially complete. One project that has never been undertaken is Barrier Planting along the creek to control foot traffic along the edge. There are several worn paths created by fishermen along the creek edge. The compaction of the soil and loss of vegetation from these paths can lead to creek bank erosion. This type of project has been discussed by previous committees but was never undertaken due to concerns that the barrier plants will be tramped. The GRCA will be asked if plant material is available from them for a fall demonstration project at a location that would enhance fish habitat and create a barrier along the edge of the creek. Accessibility Training David Best inquired about future dates for accessibility Training since he missed the June sessions. The Clerks Department will be asked if they have established any future dates for the training. Motion to Adjourn MOVED by David Best seconded by Karin Murphy THAT the meeting be adjourned.

Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington June 9, 2011 Question /Answer Session Q- Explain role in Physician Recruitment A- Change from approximately 7 years ago, when the process was carried out within the community but was not accountable to either the Board or Council. It is a committee of CBOT composed of 5 members. 7 years ago we were 13 doctors short and now we are 5 doctor's short. We do not provide the large "bonuses" that some other communities do (e.g. northern communities). What we have to offer is close proximity to Toronto, good research facilities and affiliations, Dr's are engaged in medical community and great life style. If you can attract the spouse you will get the Dr. Q- How is shortage determined? A- number of patients to Dr. based on population of the area. Q- What is paid to Dr's and when? A- CBOT works with new Dr. for some time; when they are signed $20,000 goes to Physician and $10,000 to CBOT for all the work that they have done in the recruitment process, which includes assisting in finding office space, housing, connections to medical community here, a number of meetings, tours of facilities and communities, etc. Q- Cost to join CBOT? A- $200 /year (prorated), there are about 300 members, there are only 3 -4 that would be uniquely agricultural. Benefits are discounts for membership on items like CAA, insurance,. Petro Canada (2 cents /litre), cell phone packages Q- Roundtable on Agriculture, the AACC would be very interested in participating, would it be with a Minister or without, when, etc. A- Could either be with or without a Minister (depending on time of year). September or January may be best for farming community. Time of day is really dependant on whether a. Minister is involved (at their mercy). Would look to invite 70 or more hoping that 20 show up. People have to RSVP so that logistics can be worked out. If it was without a Minister then the roundtable would be focused on issues for Agriculture and how CBOT could help get that message out. Q- New Build, impacts on Agriculture, from perspective of very local neighbours, loss of rental land that is currently cropped, construction traffic on local roads is going to be a major concern, drivers are already impatient with farm equipment, this will just make it worse on Holt Road, Baseline, and local roads. A- (Faye) Part of Host Municipal Agreement is commitments by OPG to help improve the road network in advance of the New Build. Commitment for Holt Road interchange to be upgraded. Q- Improvements to Holt Road will mean additional loss of land to agricultural operation just like new build is removing the fields that are currently worked on the OPG site. A- True Q- All of the items that are the target of economic development require land, how do you keep agriculture and support agriculture with those items? Nobody has been hungry enough to really appreciate that agricultural land loss will eventually mean that there is a food shortage. Farmers realize that sometimes you just cannot save agricultural land Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington June 9, 2011 but sometimes it should be the other land uses that give way. Even the moving around between urban areas is difficult and many urbanites do not appreciate being delayed or having to wait for farm equipment. A- The balance is the most difficult aspect and that is why CBOT has dedicated a seat on the Board for Agriculture. Learned a great deal over the past couple of years from Don, the business community has a better appreciation for the issues facing farmers. Gary thanked Sheila and invited her to stay for remainder of meeting. Business Arising Rural Funding Opportunity Faye has followed up with GRCA and CLOCA on the rural road planting idea. A meeting will be held over the summer to follow up on the Maple Leaves Forever program and the funding opportunities. The Grand River CA has a program for funding of rural road and hedgerow planting. A comment was made that part of the issue of die back in maples can be attributed to salt on the roads and that should be considered when program is being designed. Gary inquired as to whether stewardship programs at CA's should be further expanded to assist with nutrient management implementation. Faye reviewed the items that funds can be obtained for, well upgrades, new wells, stream crossings, stream plantings, GPS units for seeding, no -till drill units, eavestroughing on barns to redirect water away from barnyard, etc. There is an "other" category which is designed for things the committee had not thought of, if there are things that are missing they can be covered under that category. Limited funds but there are funds still available for this year from GRCA, possibly CLOCA. Province is out of funds for Environmental Farm Plan for 2011, it was tapped out quickly. Council Referrals — OPA #80; Provincially Significant Wetlands Planning is working with CLOCA, MNR, the landowners and facilitator to see how issues can be explored and resolved. AACC with be kept informed as process moves ahead and when larger meeting is organized. Accessibility Traininq Everyone was notified of two time options, if you are unable to attend there will be another session in the fall.

DFRA will partner with other groups to hold other events. CBOT — Roundtable will be a highlight and looking forward to opportunity to have input. Clarington Farmer's Market — Sunday had between 10 to 12 vendors, not full yet but produce is behind schedule. Orono Fair Board has been approached by Orono BIA to allocate space for farmer's market. The Fair Board is concerned that there will be an issue getting vendors and also the existing events at the Fair would all have to agree to have that area removed from the venue. Faye provided an update of her meeting with Orono BIA where she reviewed the issues of getting vendors. Other Business Broadband — Marlene updated the committee; RFP will close soon, July 8th announcement of successful bidder to provide service.

Clarington Accessibility - 3 - June 1, 2011 Advisory Committee (c) Waterfront Trail There was a general discussion on the most appropriate surface for the Waterfront Trail. (d) Region of Durham Joint Annual Accessibility Advisory Committee Forum Concern was raised that the organizations using municipal facilities for public events should provide an accessibility plan for the function. For instance, during the Rotary Ribfest at Garnet B. Rickard Recreation complex, the Rotary Club should provide an accessible entrance from the parking lot instead of the entrance being through a ditch. It was agreed that this matter be included in the Accessibility Plan. Patti Barrie will discuss this suggestion with the Community Services Department, in terms of how best to, implement the Committee's request. 4.' OTHER BUSINESS None 5.

Q� Petition for the protection of two wetlands of almost 100 residents of the area was submitted in the middle of June (during my absence) but it was not included in the Agenda. There is a great dissatisfaction with poor drainage, dust, additional, not needed roads and not prepared park that was promised to the residents in this Neighbourhood. Developer needs to convey the land overflow and sewage downstream from subdivision. That is the only reason for the pathway and an extension of George Reynolds, but this was not explained well to Council in the Report. Fulfilling just on one Condition of Approval would be taken out of context of this OMB document. Not well planned roads or infrastructure location, in general, is causing Ontario as well as our area FALLING TO PIECES. (reference -This Week series) SLmid�diM1•cfClmn��, on ��l�w2umrs85 -L.

Unfortunately, government-imposed costs (GICs) on both high- and low-rise development are driving up the cost of building and buying new homes.As a result, home ownership is increasingly out of reach for Ontario's working families and even rental housing costs are higher than they need to be. In some parts of Ontario, these GICs exceed$80,000 per unit! Expanding opportunity for Ontario's families must include progress to improve the affordability of housing. Government-imposed costs—hidden housing taxes—must be brought under control. While the impact of higher housing costs has been temporarily softened by historically low interest rates, this trend will not continue indefinitely. Inevitably, interest rate hikes will price many of Ontario's working families out of the market for new homes. Ontario's economy cannot afford a housing-sector slowdown. The home building industry is vital to the economic success of the province, contributing 8.5% of total economic growth in the province during the past decade. In the Greater Toronto Area alone, new home construction this year is expected to support 52,700 jobs paying some$3.0 billion in wages, and contribute$8.48 billion overall to Ontario's economy. It is time to address the hidden taxes on new homeowners and the housing-cost crunch with sensible, pragmatic solutions, to ensure that the next generation will have the housing opportunities that Ontarians deserve and expect. GOVERNMENT-IMPOSED COSTS: THE BASICS Recent decades have seen extraordinary growth and development in Ontario's housing and employment sectors, particularly in the densely populated Greater Golden Horseshoe. Builders and homebuyers have shouldered their share of the responsibility to pay for increased infrastructure needs, parkland, servicing, and other costs associated with growth... and more. Development charges,land transfer.taxes, registry fees and numerous other charges on new housing(see Figure 1, below) are collectively known as government-imposed costs. REDUCING HIDDEN HOUSING COSTS-Making home ownership affordable for working families 2 Government-imposed . . Infrastructure/development charges Municipal/Regional Hard(sewer,water,road)and soft(parks,libraries,police station)off-site infrastructure(either through subdivision agreement or development charges),and water and sewer connection fees.Engineering review fee.Sewer connection and other inspection fees.

Building permit fees Municipal/Regional Building permit,plumbing,and mechanical or electrical permit fees Land transfer taxes Provincial Land transfer taxes and title registration fees. Home warranty fees Provincial New home warranty programs(both required and optional) Provincial sales tax Provincial Provincial Sales Tax on construction materials,Quebec Sales Tax on house sale,Harmonized Sales Tax on house sale. Other provincial charges Provincial Provincial plumbing and electrical inspection fees,provincial engineering review fees. Figure 1:Government-imposed costs and their components(Dunning,11) Unfortunately, these charges have gone far beyond the level justified by incremental growth costs.While the fiscal pressures on municipalities are widely acknowledged, this does not excuse all orders of government from allowing GICs to grow virtually unchecked. Homeowners are less aware of the degree to which they bear the burden of these charges because these costs are typically concealed within a home's price. This makes GICs a politically attractive alternative to property tax increases as a way to address fiscal pressures. It also makes it almost irresistible for politicians to avoid hiking costs well above the real costs of services delivered to new housing. THE IMPACT OF GOVERNMENT-IMPOSED COSTS The reality is that government-imposed costs are pushing many of Ontario's working families to their financial limit and hurting our economy. Ontario cannot afford continued unchecked hikes of government-imposed costs which produce multiple negative impacts: • Escalating housing prices are pushing home-ownership out of reach for Ontario's working families. • Communities suffer when workers are priced out of the local housing market and employers are unable to draw upon a nearby workforce. • Innovative housing,whether more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly or adapted to address special social needs, is discouraged due to higher costs. • Government-imposed costs, because they are applied on a per unit basis, discourage higher-density development and promote outward growth which has serious environmental and economic consequences. • Higher housing prices influence the dynamics of both the resale and rental housing markets. • Higher housing prices reduce demand for new housing starts and destroy well-paying jobs in one of Ontario's most important economic sectors: construction. REDUCING HIDDEN HOUSING COSTS-Making home ownership affordable for working families 3 ONTARIO'S SKYROCKETING DEVELOPMENT CHARGES Development charges are a significant component of government-imposed costs and must be kept under control.Unfortunately, skyrocketing development charges in Ontario are making home prices prohibitively expensive and stifling growth. In fact, Ontario's development charges are some of the highest in North America: up to six times higher than the average charge in the United States. Not only are development charges higher in Ontario than most other North American jurisdictions, they are also increasing at a dramatic rate. Home-buyers in Peel Region, for example, face development charges that have nearly tripled since already-high 2002 levels of$6,276 per home. In contrast, development charges in some other North American jurisdictions have actually decreased in recent years. Steep hikes of already-burdensome development charges are putting Ontario's working families at a painful disadvantage. This punitive housing tax must be brought under control. 2009 Region Total DC 2 TONT !

Some of these rules are sensible and designed to ensure that all new developments meet stringent health and safety standards. Others, however, simply add another layer of bureaucracy to an ever-expanding regulatory framework. REDUCING HIDDEN HOUSING COSTS-Making home ownership affordable for working families 4 Even the best intended policies can be distorted. For example, the Ontario Building Code has been stretched beyond its core purpose of guaranteeing health and safety to include environmental, accessibility and energy reduction goals. These standards impose significant costs on all homes, rather than allowing for market choice.While many middle- and upper-class home purchasers may gladly choose a slightly higher mortgage in favour of energy savings, to impose this decision on all will inevitably squeeze out some low-income purchasers as well as worsen the burden for renters. Regrettably, some municipalities even use bylaws and zoning requirements as techniques of social engineering to exclude low-income residents from their communities. They can use a wide range of standards, such as large lot size, excessive setback requirements or even a seemingly desirable objective like mandatory LIKED ratings for all new homes, to intentionally drive up housing costs and maintain their preferred socio-economic"character." "...the more land-use restrictions there are, the less new b-milding there will be. Each extra type of rule is associated with about 10 percent: less building." Glaeser,Edward. Triumph of the City:How Our Greatest Invention Make Us Richer,Smarter, Greener,Healthier,and Happier. New York:Penguin Press,2011,p.192. There are few deterrents to municipalities imposing even the most excessive standards.Whether on development charges or zoning objections, a municipality can take an extreme position, force a project proponent to spend vast amounts of time and money appealing to the Ontario Municipal Board—while knowing full well the municipal position will be overruled—and face no requirement to even pay the proponent's costs,much less address the impact on future purchasers. HIGHER PRICES: ADDING UP GOVERNMENT-IMPOSED COSTS Even though government-imposed costs are hidden from view, Ontarian homeowners still feel their bite. In some parts of Ontario, GICs already represent nearly 20% of the total cost of a new home, a figure that increases to 30%when associated indirect costs are included. Distressingly, these costs continue to skyrocket. In the Greater Toronto Area, increases in government-imposed costs on homeowners well exceed increases in home prices themselves. In one Toronto suburb, government-imposed costs increased at more than twice the rate of housing prices between 2001 and 2010. Ontario's working families are already stretched to the limit. If government-imposed costs continue to rise at their current rate, many will be priced out of the housing market altogether and their dream of home ownership will become even more remote. Municipality Increase in GIC GIC as % of house Median GIC (2006) (2002-2006) price (2006) Vaughan 60% 17.9% $83,362 Mississauga 53% 17.1% $72,794 Toronto 44% 13.4% $101,526 Windsor 34% 14.8% $28,075 Ottawa 20% 15.5% $54,334 I Figure 3:The impact of GIG on Ontario's home-buyers(Dunning,14) LESS GROWTH, FEWER JOBS Government-imposed costs are not only hurting homeowners and renters, but also the over 2.2 million Canadians who are employed in the construction sector and related fields. Driving up the price of housing means fewer homes built and fewer Ontarians at work earning a decent wage. REDUCING HIDDEN HOUSING COSTS-Making home ownership affordable for working families 5 In the Greater Toronto Area alone,just a io%increase in housing prices translates into losses of over$600 million in economic activity and nearly 3,000 well-paying construction jobs. Out-of-control government-imposed costs are stifling growth and killing jobs across Ontario. At the same time, reducing government-imposed costs by a modest I0%would generate over$2 billion for our economy and create almost 7,500 new jobs in Ontario. This much is clear: lower government-imposed costs on homebuyers means a stronger economy and more jobs that pay a decent wage.

If interest rates were to spike,without relief on government-imposed costs there would be a crisis in housing affordability across the province. The provincial government needs to demonstrate leadership in this area, and municipalities along with them.The province can take action to effectively address this growing challenge by: I) Working with industry, municipalities, consumers and other stakeholders to implement practical approaches to reducing government-imposed costs for housing—There is no single solution to rising housing costs. The pressures must be addressed and alternatives developed one-by-one.A starting point would be for the Ontario government to constitute an effective multi-partite building industry committee tasked with developing a roadmap for reducing government-imposed costs while maintaining service and safety standards. 2) Reducing government-imposed costs on new housing by a minimum of io%within two years—Business and governments have long recognized the importance of managing-by-objectives and establishing measurable targets. This approach needs to be brought to bear on housing costs. It is not enough to stop the growth in government- imposed costs, though that is critical; they must begin to be rolled back. Establishing a target to reduce GICs by io%within two years would be significant but achievable. 3) Publishing an annual Housing Impact Index to document the effects of municipal,provincial, and federal government-imposed costs and policies on housing prices—Transparency is critical.A Housing Impact Index will provide an annual mechanism to raise the profile of all government-imposed costs. Similar to the Consumer Price Index, it can become a ready reference to track housing price trends and gauge the effectiveness of efforts to reduce the housing cost curve.

Laboratory analysis determined that three samples, one in April and two in May, were contaminated with organic matter and considered invalid. The exceedence in June at sampling location E may have been caused by plant operations or by other sources of dust emitted close to the sampling location as the other sampling stations located southeast of the plant were below the limit. The fifth exceedence, in August, occurred at sampling location A. As Hutton Transport is now located inside the plant boundary, this site is no longer considered representative. St. Marys is considering relocating this sampling station. The following graph presents the results of the samples from these monitoring locations in 2010, including the five exceedences described above. Rev: 02 — June 28/11 2 ST.

A smog advisory was in effect on March 9 and all stations showed elevated levels. It is assumped that the general poor air quality caused or significantly contributed to the exceedences at two sampling stations on March 9. The exceedence on July 7 also occurred at the OPG sampling station (location C). A smog advisory was in effect. As the winds on July 7 were from the southwest, plant operations did not contribute to the exceedance. The exceedence on August 18 occurred at the Hutton Transport sampling station (location A). Winds on August 18 were from the northwest but shifted to the southeast after 9 am. The sample was therefore a combintation of contribution from highway 401 traffic before 9 am and from plant operatioins for the remainder of the day.
