An extension to May of 1998 was granted by Council. Mr. Little advised that the company is still in a transitional period from the Blue Circle takeover and that a further extension would give them the proper time to resolve some concerns associated with moving the overburden necessary for the landscaped berm.

Further, municipalities do not have the capacity to absorb any additional cuts. • AMO reiterated it's basic message that income re-distributive programs such as education, social assistance, social housing and farm tax rebate should not be funded from the property tax base. AMO has again asked the Province to make a commitment to set time lines and economic indicators for achieving this. • in the interim, AMO offered some examples of both short and long term tools that will help municipalities move forward, and suggested other approaches to regulations and legislative amendments that would give municipalities even great flexibility, autonomy and administrative and managerial control over the programs they are now required to pay for. • Among other matters, the Association called for the elimination of prescriptive legislation; the elimination of the powers of special purpose bodies;full municipal control of the services they pay for; protections for the taxpayer for high risk programs such as social assistance; and legislation that permits all municipalities to achieve efficiencies, not just those undergoing restructuring (e.g. such as integration of PUC with the municipality), • The Province should continue to work with the Association and its members and should capitalize on the municipal expertise and sound advice that is available to find solutions to the financial burdens that have been transferred to municipalities. AMO will keep the membership informed about the progress of the above issue.

Farmers, like other businesses, should not be subjected to vexatious and frivolous nuisance complaints. However, it is regrettable that the Bill strengthens farmers right to farm by impeding the fundamental rights and responsibilities of elected municipal Councils to pass and enforce by-laws. Recommendations To restore the municipal decision-making authority, AMO urges the Province to introduce the 1 following amendments: • Delete section 6 (1) of Bill 146 which states, "No municipal by-law applies to restrict a normal farm practice carried on as part of an agricultural operation." Avoid duplication and overlap In the appeals process by limiting the role of the Normal Farm Practices Protection Board (NFPPB) so that only the OMB hear appeals regarding municipal zoning by-laws and land use conflicts. At a minimum, there should be consolidated hearings with both the OMB and the NFPPB on planning applications appeals that deal with zoning. And furthermore, that at least one member of the NFPPB be an elected representative or an appointed official of a rural municipality. • Introduce regulations, not guidelines, in relation to agricultural operations or normal farm practices. Moreover, there should be input and advice from rural municipalities in the preparation of regulations. AMO wilt keep the members updated on upcoming developments concerning this Bill.

The regulation, made under the subsection 220.1 (13)of the Municipal Act, prevents municipalities from charging telecommunication companies for occupying municipal right of ways, as well as for any services or activities related to having these companies on municipal property. Municipalities will be able to charge the reasonable costs of the issuance of permits. Further, municipalities will continue to be able to charge these companies fo'r the initial costs of locating their transmission equipment on their highways and any other works as allowed under the Public Service Works on Highways Act. This regulation will allow for a fair tax treatment of the telecommunication sector to ensure the development of an information infrastructure in Ontario that is competitive and at the same time allow municipalities to recover some of their costs. I have enclosed a copy of the regulation for your information. If you have any questions, please call me at (416) 585-6951 or Philip McKinstry at (416) 585-6305.

Section 364 of the Municipal Act, as amended by Bill 106, the Fair Municipal Finance Act, 1997, provides for the upper-tier to delegate its responsibility for setting tax ratios to its lower tiers. The legislation stipulates that the lower tier must consent to the delegation, by January 15 of a year. Also a regulation designating the upper tier must be made by March 1 of the year and the lower tier must establish the tax ratios by March 15. i The regulation, which I have enclosed, extends the time for the upper tier to pass a bylaw delegating this responsibility and for the lower tier to consent, to March 15, for the year 1998. In 1998, the date for making the regulation to designate the upper tier has been extended to May 1 and for the lower tier to establish the tax ratio, to May 31. This regulation is in response to the request made by a number of municipalities to have the time limits for setting tax ratios extended in view of the later than usual availability of assessment information. If you have any questions concerning this regulation, please call me at(416) 585-6951 or Philip McKinstry at (416) 585-6305. 1 Yours truly Nancy Bardecki ACK. SY Director '� Pig i0 Filed as 0. Reg.

The Durham Core Advisory Committee has developed recommendations for improving access and coordination of services and, ensuring that essential services are delivered to children and to adults with developmental disabilities. The Core Advisory Committee carefully considered the needs of Durham's residents and the suggestions of service providers and consumers in setting directions for change. Made in Durham Durham, as residents of Durham know, has its own unique issues and service delivery challenges. It has been one of the fastest growing regions of the province throughout the 1980's and into the 1990's. While population growth is showing signs of slowing in the latest census, growth remains above the provincial average and the explosive growth of the 1980's, (44%growth rate compared to the provincial average of 17%)has meant community services have never had time to"catch up"to the population explosion. Durham is a community of families and, as a result, it has on average more children as a percentage of population. (31% of Durham residents are under 19 years old compared to 27.1% for other Ontario communities). In addition to rapid growth and high child population, the recent census confirms what community leaders have instinctively felt, that Durham is rapidly becoming a multi-cultural community. 18.7% of Durham's population are immigrants with some communities having as high as 25% immigrant populations. The demographic profile of the community makes the services funding data even more alarming. Rather than gaining funding to cope with an exploding population and new multi-cultural demands, the region has lost substantial funding in the period between 1992 and 1996.Children's services funding is down 9.9%for the period with child welfare down 2.7°/g and services for developmentally handicapped children down a frightening 44.6%. While services for adults with developmental disabilities appears to have increased 24% the increase was tied to moving individuals out of institutions or individuals moving from children's residential services into adult residential services with"their dollars". In sum, the Durham community has seen its service levels decline alarmingly in the face of enormous increases in population. i It was in this context that the Durham Core Advisory Committee tackled the planning challenge outlined by the Ministry in Making Services Work for People. The Ministry was seeking two components in its planning. The first was to build into communities, service system features such as coordinated access, single service agreements and other features to ensure local services are coordinated, linked and people do not get"lost" among services and agencies. The Durham Core Advisory Committee is confident that the recommendations for service system features including a single point of access to all children's services for community and social services and.health and, a single point of access for services for developmentally disabled adults will lay the foundation for an effective and efficient service delivery system in the region. i The second task requested by the Ministry was to review all children's services and services for adults with developmental disabilities to ensure essential community service needs were met, investment services were provided to intervene early in problems and, to identify areas of reinvestment for prevention. The Durham Core Advisory Committee in I completing its systematic review of services clearly identified that the region was not meeting essential service needs. Investment Services, forced to compensate for the lack of essential services, were being used to provide makeshift crisis supports and to serve those in the most acute and urgent distress. The Durham Core Advisory Committee, therefore, is recommending significant shifts in services into, not out of, the essential services areas. The Committee is recommending extensive collaboration between Health and MCSS,both ministries and service providers, to address essential service needs of Durham residents. The committee, finding no other way to ensure service delivery, is recommending equitable funding be provided to Durham at a level with that received in other communities. Between the region's rapid growth and the decrease in services funding, Durham Region cannot meet the most essential needs of its residents. The Durham Core Advisory j Committee wishes to make it very clear to both its own residents and government funders that, while they have recommended measures to ensure the best and most effective use of the resources Durham Region has available, even after the service system features are put in place, significant and serious shortages of services will continue to exist. The largest cohort of children is now 7-12 years of age. As these children move into adolescence and adulthood, the lack of services will provoke serious crises in the communities of Durham. We urge the Mnistry of Community and Social Services along with the Mnistry of Health and the Regional Government to take immediate remedial action. The detailed and specific recommendations of the Core Advisory Committee are in the document, "Durham Region Response to: Ministry of Community and Social Services `Making Services Work for People'; available from the Peterborough Area Office of MCSS, telephone(705) 742-6415. I I j 1 COUNCIL INFORMATION I-8 inM,,ic PL-) it Cie s 56 , 1 9 1998 i � :.Ir c�.ARINGTON s t"IAVOR'S OFFICE 1-9801 CANADA'S ABORIGINAL ACTION PLAN—FOCUSED ON COMMUNITIES, FOUNDED ON RECONCILIATION AND RENEWAL OTTAWA (January 7, 1998)—The Honourable Jane Stewart, Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, and the Honourable Ralph Goodale, Federal Interlocutor for Metis and Non-Status Indians (Minister of Natural Resources Canada), today unveiled Gathering Strength—Canada's Aboriginal Action Plan. "At the heart of this Action Plan is a commitment to address the needs of communities by building a real partnership with Aboriginal people, including the development of mechanisms to recognize sustainable and accountable Aboriginal governments and institutions. An essential aspect will be to work closely together with Aboriginal people to define that partnership and shape a common vision of the relationship between us," said Minister Stewart. In describing Canada's Aboriginal Action Plan,the Ministers said they were indebted to the work done by the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP). "The Action Plan responds to the Royal Commission and sets directions for a new course based on greater cooperation with Aboriginal groups and provinces," said Minister Stewart. I Underlining the government's commitment to renewing the relationship,Ministers presented a Statement of Reconciliation. It formally acknowledges the detrimental effects of the historical { treatment of Aboriginal people in Canada and, in particular, to the victims of sexual and physical abuse in the Residential School system, says the government is deeply sorry. jCanada's Aboriginal Action Plan has four objectives: • renewing the partnerships • strengthening Aboriginal governance • developing a new fiscal relationship • supporting strong communities,people and economies. "If Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians are to successfully renew the partnerships, we must first deal with the legacies of the past," said Minister Stewart. To underscore this commitment, Minister Stewart announced that the Government of Canada is committing $350 million to support the development of community-based healing as a means of dealing with the legacy of physical and sexual abuse in the Residential School system. /2 Government Gouvernement Cmacta of Canada du Canada I c - 2 - Minister Goodale noted that strengthening partnerships between governments and Aboriginal groups is key to addressing the needs of Metis and off-reserve Aboriginal people, including those in urban areas. "Cooperative action will result in more effective program and service delivery that is sensitive to the needs of Aboriginal people," he said. Approaches to strengthening Aboriginal governance,the second element of Canada's Aboriginal Action Plan, will vary depending on the needs, history and circumstances of different Aboriginal groups and communities. However, Minister Stewart emphasized that having recognized the inherent right to self-government, Canada is committed to working with Aboriginal people to help create Aboriginal governments and institutions with the capacity, size and resources to effectively govern their members and territories and to help develop forms of self-government that are appropriate to the circumstances of Metis and off-reserve Aboriginal people. In addition, the government is committed to developing practical arrangements to affirm the treaty relationship and to take steps to improve the claims process. I The third element of Canada's Aboriginal Action Plan is developing a new fiscal relationship. "Canada is committed to a more stable fiscal relationship with Aboriginal governments or organizations, based on transfer models that are transparent and predictable,that support own- source revenues and that strengthen the accountability of Aboriginal governments and institutions to their members," said Minister Stewart. The final element of Canada's Aboriginal Action Plan centres on supporting strong communities, people and economies. "We believe the types of measures described in our approach will have the practical effect of improving socio-economic conditions for all Aboriginal people, on and off reserves, in the areas of youth, employment and health," said Minister Goodale. On behalf of the Honourable Allan Rock, Minister of Health, Minister Stewart added, "'Today's announcement supports the direction we have been taking to increase First Nations control over health programs and resources. We firmly believe that solutions to health problems are best found in the Aboriginal communities themselves. Initiatives such as Aboriginal Head Start on reserves and the Aboriginal Health Institute are concrete examples of the government's j commitment to work with Aboriginal people to improve their health." Human Resources Development Canada,represented at today's ceremony by Secretary of State Ethel Blondin-Andrew, will be developing a five-year Aboriginal Human Resources Development Strategy, supported by a private-sector driven Council,to improve Aboriginal people's access to jobs. /3 i i�. - 3 - "In order to build partnerships that will shape a skilled Aboriginal workforce, a multi-sectoral Aboriginal Human Resource Development Council is being created," said Secretary of State Blondin-Andrew. "Our aim is to strengthen links between Aboriginal people, business, labour and educators to increase Aboriginal participation in the mainstream economy." "We are committed to working with Aboriginal people to bring about meaningful changes to their social and economic circumstances," said Minister Stewart. "We want to achieve measurable results by supporting self-reliance at the individual and community level. We will work with Aboriginal people to support healthy, sustainable communities by improving health and public safety, investing in people and strengthening economic development." "This Action Plan responds to the call of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples for significant changes in our relationship with Aboriginal people. Our success will depend on how well we work together with the provinces and territories,the private sector, and Canadians in all walks of life, to make the changes that are needed,"she added. "Gathering Strength can best be described as a framework for new partnerships with First Nations, Inuit, Metis and Non-Status Indians,"explained Minister Stewart. "This document is a first step toward more effective working relationships between the Government of Canada and Aboriginal people. We want to work with them to develop agendas that respond to their unique needs and circumstances." Ministers underlined that although the process of change must begin now, it is only the beginning of a dialogue with our partners. Minister Goodale summarized by saying, "This is a reasonable, concrete approach that will allow us to maximize resources through improved coordination and cooperation with provinces and Aboriginal groups. It is not a closed book. It is a first major step, and I look forward to working with Aboriginal groups and the provinces to meet the challenges we jointly face in this important endeavour.

"CARRIED" Address by Chair Janie Dodds addressed the Committee with a review the LACAC's function and mandate to designate properties and raise public awareness. Janie praised the returning members for their commitment and success in promoting the work of the LACAC. She suggested that the list of primary properties on record be actively worked on for designation in 1998 and stated that her strong belief in the significance of preserving the heritage of Clarington has caused her to reconsider running again as Chair. Address by David Crome Role of the Planning Department David Crome reviewed the structure and role of ,the Planning Department in providing support to the Committee. He explained that there are two divisions, Community Planning and Development Review.• Isabel Little is the LACAC Liaison, however she is.assigned to the Development Review branch and the amount of time she is able to devote to heritage issues is limited. The Department provides support services in the form of typing and distributing the meeting minutes. Isabel reviews applications for development and comments on any heritage concerns. Role of the LACAC The LACAC is a commenting agency and part of their role is to provide advise to Council on heritage matters. David reviewed the mandate by-law, as approved by the Committee, and noted that the key function of the LACAC is to seek out the designation of properties. Designation is the only level of protection available for properties at this time. There are areas of rapid growth in the municipality and, subsequently, threatened properties within these areas. David explained that seeking the designation of these properties will require work extending beyond the regular meeting times of the Committee. LACAC's operating budget was explained and David noted that the principal use of the funds were for the designation of heritage properties. Any submissions for payment must be accompanied by original receipts. He recommended that a detailed budget be prepared for submission to the Director of Planning. I Future Endeavors The Planning Department is in the process of preparing a new zoning by-law. Isabel Little will be working towards incorporating heritage zones within the by-law and will be requesting input from the Committee in defining zone areas. David recommended that the LACAC inventory be reviewed and updated as it was first compiled ten years ago. He also suggested that information be formatted for inclusion in Clarington's website.

A report is prepared by municipal staff for presentation to Council. A notice of intent to designate is sent to property owners, the Ontario Heritage Foundation and published in local newspapers. There are 30 days for objections. If there is a formal objection and negotiations are not successful, a Provincial Review Board could be appointed to make recommendations to Council. Council is the final authority and can proceed with designation or withdraw the Notice of Intention. This process is an expensive proposition. Following approval to designate, a By-law is prepared and published and the designation is registered on title. In event of future sale of the property, the designation should be included in the Offer to Purchase for prospective purchasers. Designations can be repealed in whole or in part. i 3 Alterations - Only the designated parts of a building are subject to review by Council in the event an owner wishes to make alterations to the property. Demolition - Designation does not prohibit demolition, but there is a procedure. Consent or refusal is given within 90 days, but the permit is not issued for 180 days. The designation By-law is repealed; registration on title removed; owners and Ontario Heritage Foundation notified. Janie Dodds thanked Isabel and a round of applause was given. � i MEETING DATE & LOCATION Following discussions about changing both the location and the day on which the meetings will be held, Janie Dodds advised that the next meeting would be at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 17, 1998 at the Newcastle Village Community Hall.

The focus of this report was to assess the concerns of younger and older area residents and business people concerning youth issues in Clarington and to review youth policies in municipalities across the country. Based on these findings, the committee recommended several courses of action to Clarington town council in an effort to effectively address youth issues. Two I main recommendations were to form a Youth Council comprised young people from across Clarington and to form of a Youth Advisory Board comprised of adult members of the community. I The function of the Advisory Board is to receive input from various community groups that work with young people or those who are affected by the activities of young people in Clarington and to provide advice and support to the Youth Council's initiatives. On January 6, 1998 a preliminary meeting was held with a number of representatives of community groups, organizations and services in attendance. During this meeting, a lengthy discussion on the feasibility of such an advisory board took place. It was unanimously agreed that there was significant interest to warrant a second preliminary meeting to further discuss the structure, the objectives and the duties and finally, the time commitment of the Advisory board and its members. iI would like to take this opportunity to respectfully request your attendance at this important second preliminary meeting of the Youth Advisory Board which will take place on Monday March 16, 1998 at 7:00 pm in court room#2 above the old fire,hall. s r, Please contact meat your earliest convenience to verify whether you will or wvill'-iiiit• attendance.

Chairs are also encouraged to rec These committee members could serve as a pool of new members of the Board in the future. GAMING INITIATIVE Brian worried how this will affect 50/50 lottery,but is not opposed,to a Casino as such. i Mark noted that lottery money from 6/49 and the like are directed to health not culture or. heritage. John and Troy both opposed to the Casino idea. They noted that the roving Monte Carlo's have not been good money generators. They noted that the proposed Casinos would be similar to Casino Rama in scale and could also include video lottery terminals. Donald does not oppose the establishment of a Casino as such, but is concerned with what will happen after the facilities are open. Is there any guarantee that the Casino would continue to generate or award funds to the Museum. Who will control who receives money from the Casino? If the Museum received money from the Casino initially could it be cut off at the whim of an unknown bureaucrat. It would be better for the Museum to become self sustaining rather tt��u� depend on grants from Casinos etc. Until these questions can be answered Donald is opposed to the establishment of a Casino. 'I j Mark is opposed to the Casino proposal as it stands. He feels that the Museum and other i Charities are being used by the government in a money grab. **98-10** Moved by Troy Young, Seconded by Donald Igbokwe, that the Clarke Museum & Archives does not endorse the establishment of a permanent Charity Casino in Clarington as outlined in the letter from Marie P.

I Jeff noted that he is currently serving on the LACAC (Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee) And is hoping to increase the LACAC profile through the Internet as part of the Municipality of Clarington web pages and through Tourism Durham. He wondered about j increasing the Museum's presence on the Internet in the same way. I Mark noted that the Museum is already on the Internet through CHIN (Canadian Heritage Information Network). Mark explained that a larger ad in the Durham Tourism Guide would be too expensive for the Museum's limited budget. He also noted that as part of Clarington it is the . Museum's first responsibility to advertise in the Clarington Tourisni Guide before going outside of the community. He also expressed a desire that the Museutti should have a higher profile in the Municipal web pages. Jeff noted that it may be possible to team with other partners to reduce costs of advertising. He is willing to speak to Jennifer Cook about greater exposure on the Municipal web pages. l_es suggested that the (Museum should be looking at a total marketing plan.

As you know, LHA's are responsible for the.management of public housing projects. across the province. They are managed by boards of directors made up of volunteer members from local communities. The boards are,agents of the Ontario Housing Corporation(OHC), reporting to and receiving funding and direction through the OHC board. In current practice, municipalities appoint one-fifth of the members on an LHA board, with the remaining appointments divided federally and provincially. But as we move towards transferring full administrative responsibility of social housing, and as vacancies occur on LHA boards, nominations which would have previously been made by the province will be made by municipalities. This will allow municipalities an increasingly important role in the day-to-day management of the public housing stock. j If there is.a vacancy on an LHA board in our municipality, minis Y try staff will contact your municipality directly to request that you nominate candidates as soon as possible. Candidates for membership are recommended by me to Cabinet and appointed by Order- in-Council. Since all billing for social housing is through upper-tier and separated municipalities, these municipalities will be given the nominations to LHA boards. If one LHA manages public housing units for both an upper-tier municipality and a separated municipality, the distribution of municipal positions on the LHA's board will be based on the portion of the total social housing bill paid by each municipality. Any current municipal nominations on an LHA board will continue to be given to the municipality that had them originally. /2 - 2 I i i Heads of Council I In northern areas of the province, where an upper-tier government does not exist and where an area services board is.yet to be established, provincial nominations will be distributed, one per municipality, beginning with the municipality that is being billed the highest amount. Once an upper-tier organization is established, the previous municipal nominations will be given to the new upper-tier organization. This transfer of provincial nominations is an imterimr mea-s-.are until social housing -- -- programs have been reformed and municipalities are able to assume full administrative responsibility. The province'and its agencies remain fully committed to municipal involvement throughout the transition period, and municipalities are strongly represented on the new Social Housing Committee and working groups on social housing reform.. Three municipal members will also be appointed shortly to the OHC board of directors so that municipalities can participate in the decision-making at a corporate level. The ministry is working with the Association•of Municipalities of Ontario to choose these appointees and will announce the appointments publicly when they are made. j If you or your staff have any questions regarding the nomination of members for local housing authority boards, please call Alfredo Bartucci,Agency and Branch Services, OHC Support Branch, at(416) 585=6171.

Each year a number of local citizens are put forward by Club members as deserving of this special recognition. They may be from any segment of the community, whether it be politics, business, professional or just someone who, through their generosity, has made an impact on the success of our Club here in Bowmanville. This year there were seven (7) outstanding candidates for the three (3) positions we are permitted to elect by majority vote during our 97'-98' Executive elections. In all of our dealings requiring the use of a Municipal facility, we have always found Joe to be a most congenial and accomodating individual. On a more personal level, I have always felt Joe may be one of those un-assuming and often un- recognized people who contribute so much to the betterment of their community. My former employer has an incentive program called "Service Heros" and in that context, Joe would certainly be a multiple award winner. This week, at a special "Founders Night" dinner, we presented Joe with his certificate and gave him the recognition he so richly deserves. I felt you should be made aware of a true "service hero" in your administration. Sinter Yours, ,.....__.._.. . . Steve Cruic shank - Director 1 ACK.

THE FEDERATION OF CANADIAN MUNICIPALITIES (FCM) PROPOSES A BETTER WAY TO CLEANER AIR TO THE HONOURABLE PAUL MARTIN, MINISTER OF FINANCE (Ottawa) -- FCM challenges Finance Minister Paul Martin to deliver good news on the reduction of greenhouse gases in his February 24 budget. FCM President Jae Eadle remarked on the momentum of publio opinion, the groundswell of support for an issue that affeot s each and every Canadian. "The Environics poll released earlier this week indicating 73% of respondents choose protection of the environment over economic progress is no surprise to elected municipal leaders, As Canada's first order of government we see the environmental concerns of our taxpaying residents brought to the fore time and again," Since 1990. FCM has proposed to the federal government a change in the Income Tax Act which would enable employers to provide their employees with transit passes as a non-taxable benefit. The idea has been endorsed by numerous federal departments including the Department of the Environment. the Department of Transport and a variety of other public organizations such as Transport 2000 Canada, National Round Table on Environment and Economy and Pollution Probe, In every instance, the proposed changes have been blocked by the Department of Finance. Canada now trails behind many OECD countries including the United States and several members of the European Economic Community, A 1997 independent study released by Transport 2000 Canada estimated that making transit passes a non-taxable benefit would eliminate as many as 300 million kilometres annually of automobile travel within ten years, reducing by 35% the expected growth In peak-period travel in Canada's major urban centres. Eadie believes that members of the Federation will be extremely disappointed if this relatively minor change is overlooked yet again, "Canadians are seeking action, Municipal governments, as they have proven with waste reduction and sewage treatment, can deliver. However, we need the tools to implement change. Current income tax policy is undermining ridership on public transit. If implemented, FCM's proposal would result,in a reduction of tens of thousands of tons of greenhouse gas emissions, less congestion and road systems that will have a much longer life." This type of initiative represents a win-win scenarlo for everyone involved. It is high time that Canada caught up with the rest of the world and implemented a straightforward change to existing law that will help bring clean air to all our urban areas, -30- Par further information contact Alex Smith, Manager - Communications/Public Relations, Tel.

FEDERATION OF CANADIAN MUNICIPALITIES (FCM) SECURES PAYMENTS-IN-LIEU OF TAXES FOR FISCAL YEAR 1998-99 (Ottawa) -- Municipal governments across the country can rely on receiving payments-in-lieu of taxes (PII-Ts) in full for the fiscal year 1998-99. Approximately$600 million is involved comprised of $425 million in payments from federal departments and a further$175 million from federal Crown Corporations. With 63,000 structures across the country, the federal government Is the nation's largest property owner. PILTs are a policy issue which FCM began to champion in the late 1940s. FCM's initial representations resulted in new legislation recognizing for the first time that municipal governments were entitled to a reasonable level of revenue from federal properties. Prior to the passage of the Municipal Grant$Act in 1949, municipal governments were not compensated, "For nearly 50 years, FCM's lobbying on this issue has been successful. Municipal governments have demonstrated their resolve and have advanced from receiving "grants" to payments-in-lieu of taxes, These payments are significant sources of revenue for many of our communities", said FCM President Jae Eadie, The challenges associated with PILTs have not been without their reversals. There was cause for alarm when a freeze on PILTs was announced In the December 1992 E"conomic and Fiscal Statement, Negotiation with the newly elected Liberal govemment lifted the freeze, In 1996, an agreement in principle on a series of improvements was reached by FCM, the Minister of Public Works and the President of the Treasury Board. Amending legislation to the Municipal Grants Act was expected subsequent to the agreement in principle. The most recent development that could adversely impact the federal government's stance on PILTs is the elimination of business occupancy taxes in Ontario. As lost business taxes for municipal governments are generally recovered through higher commercial property taxes, It Is likely that the federal government will face increased PILTs in Ontario. The federal government has estimated the Increased costs to be in the vicinity of $70 million. Currently the federal cabinet has demanded a further review of the PILTs program prior to the introduction of any new legislation, President Eadie suggests that municipal governments must remain on their guard. "This is a time for municipal governments to demonstrate vigilance and maintain FCM's united front that the federal government must continue to pay its fair share of property taxes. Although the federal g6vernment has made a commitment to respect the property tax regimes in every province, we have no guarantees beyond the 1998-99 fiscal year," -30- For further information contact: Alex Smith Manager- Communications/Public Relations Tel.

As we discussed, since Blue Circle will be proceeding with expansion of the dock, a decision has been made to construct a berm, rather than a fence. You have requested an extension to the deadline for completion of the berm to allow construction in parallel with preparation of new areas for quarrying. You have indicated that construction of the berm will occur over approximately six weeks in December, 1998 and January, 1999. Residents have expressed concerns regarding increased dust during construction and following completion of the berm but prior to seeding and landscaping. You have indicated that winter construction will ensure that you are dealing with wet and partially frozen material, thereby minimizing dust problems during construction. You have also indicated that winter and early spring conditions will maintain a tight, wet surface on the berm. As soon as spring conditions allow, the berm will be hydro-mulched and landscaped to prevent dust as the berm surface dries. i I i r I I I We appreciate the opportunity to discuss this project and its potential effects on your neighbours. We look forward to further dialogue with Blue Circle, directly through these types of communication and through the creation of the Community Relations Committee.

Co-operative activities by school boards Many Ontario school boards are already involved in co-operative activities to reduce administrative costs. Priority for funding from Ontario's$215-million transition funding will be given to restructuring activities that involve a co-operative approach among school boards and other public or private sector partners. The following are recent examples of some co-operative activities undertaken by school boards: York Region Joint Board Consortium This partnership of the two school boards in York Region won a 1997 Ontario Local Government Innovative Public Services Delivery Award. In three years, the consortium has achieved more than $8-million in savings by establishing a single school bus transportation system to serve the students of both boards, using the"one road r-one bus" concept. Recently, this same "one road" concept was successfully applied to the courier services for the boards. Through the consortium, joint work groups were established and are actively pursuing and implementing shared services in the areas of student transportation, purchasing, physical plant, planning, Information systems, and administrative services. i As a result, the boards now jointly review and tender for most supplies and services, saving $500,000 annually by eliminating duplication. Examples of shared services include purchase of paper and school supplies, telecommunications, security monitoring, waste disposal, and snowplowing. _ The consortium also established a joint audio-visual resources library to serve classrooms of both boards, and have amalgamated the boards' student attendance counselling services, saving a further$300,000 annually. I Last year, the two boards produced a brochure and video about their joint services. These are available to other school boards and public agencies.

This resulted in reduced administrative costs of about $5-million and ongoing annual savings of about$10-million on the purchase of goods and services. Since its establishment, other organizations have signed customer service agreements for purchasing and supply services through the Co-operative. Lincoln County co-operative activities The school boards in Lincoln county are engaged in a wide range of co-operative activities, including the Ontario School Boards Insurance Exchange, the Education Computer Network of Ontario, a long-distance telecommunications co-op, and the Niagara Public Purchasing i Committee —a group that includes 30 agencies in that region. The boards also share some facilities, including an elementary school, a warehouse facility, and a media centre, with each other and with local municipalities. The Lincoln public board estimates annual savings of$1.2- million from these initiatives. Co-operation to meet special needs Many boards have joined with hospitals, children's aid societies, and other local agencies to make the best use of local assessment and care resources: Lakehead The Lakehead Board of Education formed a partnership with Lakehead University and the Lakehead Regional Family Centre to provide services for assessing students' special needs. This co-operative approach resulted in estimated savings of$220,000 in 1997. Atikokan The former Atikokan Board of Education combined with Atikokan General Hospital to provide speech-language pathology services, With estimated annual savings of$40,000. Halton The two school boards in Halton offer a Child &Adolescent Psychiatric InpJ iogt;'Pro� I partnership with Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital and Halton Adolesceht'Support' ervices; This partnership saves the two boards more than $168,000 annually. ` '''`• _.._ 30 Visit the Ministry of Education and Training's World Wide Web site at http.-Mwww.edu.gov.on.ca Visitez ie site Web du minis*i-8 a l'adresse Internet suivante.http://www.edu.gQv.on.ca "1 i • 3M Ministry Ministere COUNCIL INFO4810(* ION tdmft MWM I=18 ' of Education 89 !'Education Q10 4 PWk Q1 eWs Pork Two"to,Ont&-" Toronto(oittdrio)_ and Training et de la Formation WA 1t2 ASIA 11.2 oMano TeleEitwAe (416)325-266 TMcp,ot* (416)32S-2eW F—irn4 (416)32$.2806 T64 opiMrr (416)325-2808 M4tistet Minlstre - _ j 1 J i� •'L�U i J Memorandum to: Board Chairs - From: David J.Johnson Date: February 23, 1998 Subject: School Board Restructuring)Fund I am pleased to'inform you that the Provincial government will provide a total of$215 million to assist District School Boards and School Authorities to make the necessary adjustments and achieve significant savings in administration as a result of the change in educational governance in Ontario. This funding will also assist all boards with one- time costs to implement new communication technologies and information systems to Permit more effective and efficient operations. In addition,these funds will offset initial start-up costs for the newly created French language boards. The Province is currently involved in negotiations with the Federal government for assistance in the implementation of Ontario's new French-language governance structure. To date, however,we have not been able to reach an agreement. I will continue to seek a fair Federal commitment. To be eligible for funding support under this program,each board will be required to develop a restructuring plan which would outline activities that it intends to undertake over the next several months to change the way that it does business. That plan is to identify milestones and target completion dates,and provide estimates of savings that will be achieved. Those plans are to be submitted by March 31, 1 998, i Many school boards have already achieved significant savings through co-operative measures undertaken with other private and public sector agencies. I am convinced, however, that even greater savings can be achieved as boards work together and with other partners to take advantage of the opportunities created by restructuring to operate more efficiently. As you identify strategies to address your needs,I encourage you to build on best practices within the system and develop common solutions to problems faced by many boards and public sector agencies across the province. I have asked the Education Improvement Commission to assist in this program. The Commission is available to provide valuable advice as you develop your restructuring 1 It will also!so be reviewing hose 1 g pans as they are submitted and making recommendations to the Ministry regarding their implementation.

"It is a great thing to see the federal government Introduce a balanced budget for the first time in 28 years. Municipalities of course achieve this distinction year after year after year. We believe that this balanced budget is a clear sign that offloading has come to an and - that federal fiscal responsibility should mean less hardship for Canada's municipal governments." In response to Kyoto, $150 million has been allocated to the environment over three years, As of yet, there are no indications of what impact this will have on FCM programming for its 20% Club and other public education ventures. Notably absent was any reference to changes in tax treatment for employer provided transit passes, or community energy systems. FCM will continue to press for these items which are already in place in most OECD cointrie$. On payments-in-lieu of taxes (PILI's), President Eadie reiterated the need to maintain a vigilant front. "There is no mention of reducing PILTs in the budget document, Minister G8gliano has assured us that PILTs will be paid in full in 1998. We have no guarantee for 1999. This will be a priority item for us to work on." No provision is made in this budget to extend the Canada Infrastructure Works Program (CIVVP). The present program is scheduled to shut down on March 31, 1999. At 2 meeting with Treasury Board President Marcel Mass6 yesterday, FCM informed the Minister that Canada is still faced with a debilitating municipal infrastructure deficit, The Minister urged FCM to secure provincial/territorial support for a new program, President Eadie will raise this subject at a meeting with his provincial and territorial counterparts on March 6, The single biggest expenditure accounted for in this budget is an increase to the cash floor of the Canada Health and Social Transfer (CHST). In December 1997, the government announced that this floor would be increased from $11 billion to $12.5 billion. FCM applauds this action. but remains concerned about the way in which previous cuts to transfer payments have affected the quality of life in their communities. /2 r FCM (Page 2/2) -2- As a result, FCM has undertaken to develop a Quality of Life Reporting System which will provide municipal governments with a powerful tool to monitor the local impact of funding and policy changes, The first Quality of Life indicators will be released this Fall. For many years, FCM has urged the Federal government to introduce a national policy framework to coordinate and focus the program of various departments affecting the economic development and diversification of small and rural communities. The budget confirmed $20 million over the next four years to a multidepartmental Canadian Rural Partnership initiative. The initiative is designed to build on a broad range of programs and sprvirAs alrpgdy in plane and will include a number of pilot projects that will engage rural communities. In addition the budget speech recognized that volunteers are the heart of emergency services in small and rural communities. Beginning January 1, 1998, the tax free allowance for volunteer firofightcrs will be increased from $500 to $1,000, and extended to other emergency service volunteers. The government committed to maintain funding for the Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario at the $20 million level beyond 1998/99. FCM will continue to review the budget papers to assess other potential impacts on municipal governments. -30- For more information contact : Alex Smith, Manager, Comm unications/Public Relations Tel. : (693) 241-5221: fax * (693) 249-7440 E-mail asmith @fcm.ca Visit our website at www,fcm.ca itnl: net' 1"'orship Nayoruiane hamre 1-21 COUNCIL INFORMATION February 24, 1998 A COM-MUNIQUE in "I'ladlowt!A. ................ FEDERATION OF CANADIAN MUNICIPALITIES (FCM) CALLS FOR CONSULTATIONS WITH FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ON COMMUNITY SAFETY AND CRIME PREVENTION (Ottawa) -- TQdpy's budget, echoing last fall's Speech from the Throne, confirmed the federal government's commitment to safe communities and crime prevention, underscoring Canadians' desire to feel secure in their homes and on the streets. The budget outlines expenditures of $30 million per year over a five year period to address issues of safety and crime prevention. Jae Eaoie, President of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and Deputy Mayor of Winnipeg, offered a municipal government perspective on this now funding Initiative. "Crime preventign and community safety are embedded In the daily lives of Individual communities right across this country. The presence in our towns and cities of those who enforce and those who break the law, of halfway houses. correctional facilities, rehabilitation and re-entry programs places municipalities on the frontlines. Witt,, their grass-roots knowledge of local situations, municipal leaders are uniquely positioned to set effective program delivery in motion. FCM Is insisting that-MuniCipal priorities be taken into account in the allocation of funds for these local crime prevention initiatives," FCM began tc commit significant resources to these issues In the mid-1980s. Results of these activities included the convocation of national and international conferences for which FCM played key organizing roles and the adoption of protocols such as the Agenda for Safer CItles (1989). Meetings with the federal government and parliamentarians also helped create the framework for the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC). Although negotiations with the Council and the federal government continue, FCM has had no official representation on the NCPC since Its founding in 1994. More recently. the link between drug abuse and crime has become a recurring concern for FCM members. At its annual conference in June of this year, FCM will focus on a municipal drug strategy. A coorainated response to this challenge, drawing on experiences from municipal governments across the country, is in great demand. Beyond this undertaking, the FCM has no committed funding to continue its cirne prevention work.

These funds for children's rehabilitation services will become part of the Durham Access To Care (DATC) budget. Only those children who meet the admission criteria for DATC will have access to services from these funds. This means many services now being delivered by Grandview at our Centre, will be provided at home and/or school by a provider selected by DATC through a Request For Proposal (RFP) process. Due to the structure of the RFP, unfortunately Grandview, which is only mandated to provide services for children, does not qualify to submit a proposal to deliver the portion of children's rehabilitation services being tendered by DATC. To cope with this drastic reduction in funding, Grandview's options are limited. We must either cut hundreds of children from our programs; allow waiting lists and times to grow; reduce the numbers of visits children receive; or a combination of these. But, before any decisions are made, we want, and need your input. We are inviting Grandview families, referring physicians and other children's agencies to attend an important meeting at Grandview (600 Townline Road South, Oshawa*) on Tuesday, March 3, 1998 at 7:30 p.m. to discuss this serious situation. For anyone requiring child care during the meeting, please call Grandview (905-728-1673) ext. 535. Enclosed is a backgrounder to provide you with more details on this situation. Your participation at this meeting is urgently required. Thank you. Yours truly, 0 IN, y Catherine Ambler j Chair, Board of Trustees ;.......... Enclosure: Grandview Rehabilitation&Treatment Centre of Durham Region i BACKGROUNDER: • In 1993, The Ministry of Health transferred Grandview and 12 other Children's Treatment Centres from the Institutions Division to the Long Term Care Division of the Ministry with their budgets frozen pending a review. • Since that time, there has been no action from the Ministry to review Children's Treatment Centres or to address their increased operating requirements. This has been particularly difficult for a high growth area like Durham that has a very significant, and rapidly growing child population. • After heavy lobbying by Grandview, in September 1996 the Assistant Deputy Minister for Long Term Care agreed that if recommended by a District Health Council (DHC), children's services could be expanded in their areas. In response, the Ministry, due to the drastic need for children's services in Durham, accepted Grandview's supplemental budget request for increased funding for therapy services for children. ♦ The Durham Region District Health Council supported Grandview's request as an immediate priority for 1997/98, and this was included in the Long Term Care Annual District Service Plan. • During his May, 1997 visit to Oshawa, Minister of Health, Jim Wilson announced approval of the new funds Grandview requested - $615,000 -for physiotherapy, occupational therapy and social work services for children. • Because the Ministry had still not reviewed and developed policies for Children's Treatment Centres, the government directed the funds to Durham Access To Care (DATC), rather than to Grandview's operating budget which still remained frozen. • In October, 1996 in order to flow the money to Grandview, a memorandum was signed by DATC to pay Grandview on a fee for service basis to provide therapy and social work services to children already on Grandview's caseload, or waiting list. This memorandum remains in place until March 31, 1998. ♦ In December, 1997 DATC issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for j Rehabilitation Services. Rather than extend the agreement between DATC and Grandview for children's services, DATC included in its RFP the $615,000 that had been going to Grandview to provide services for children in a centre-based facility. ♦ With no policies in place by the Ministry of Health, Durham's Access To Care was free to dismiss recommendations that children's services, because they are unique and very small within the Long Term Care system, should be tendered separately from adult rehabilitation. I ;t - 2 - ♦ DATC issued a RFP that combined adult and children services divided by geography (North/South). The rationale given for doing this, was because the North has 20% of the population. The fact that children form 31% of the population in Durham Region does not appear to have been taken into consideration. ♦ Due to the structure of the RFP, Grandview, because it is mandated to provide services for children, did not qualify to submit a proposal to deliver the children's rehabilitation services being tendered by DATC. ♦ Durham Family Respite Services, has also found itself in a similar position with the nursing tender. They did not qualify because they too, are only mandated to care for children and their families. ♦ The Ministry of Health has not only failed to provide guidelines for the Access To Care Centres to ensure that children and seniors services would be tendered separately, but they have also neglected to expand regulations for the Long Term Care Act. ♦ Currently, the Long Term Care Act which governs the Access To Care operations, only allows for services to be delivered in the home or at school. This ignores the fact that Centres are frequently the more appropriate venue for many children, and are obviously, the most cost effective delivery model. For an area like Durham, with a scarcity of resources for children's services, this is a critical issue. I ♦ On April 1, when the $615,000 of funding is no longer available to Grandview, hundreds of children, currently being served with this money may have to be discharged from Grandview's caseload. ♦ The meeting on March 3, 1998 will address these and other issues: i P What children on Grandview's caseload will be able to qualify for services through DATC? a How many children can DATC serve with the money? 4 What happens to the children who fall between the cracks? 4 Are there any other options available? i I j 18.02.98 GCC I i COUNCIL INFORMATION I-23 09/02/98 CFC Bulletin #14 About the Bulletin.

It does not run an annual campaign for funds but relies on donations from Individuals, corporations and other organizations. From time to time, fund/awareness raising events may be held, but this is not the usual fund-raising method. WHO DECIDES HOW THE FUNDS ARE INVESTED? � The guiding principle of investment for all Community Foundations is to ensure that the funds are invested in a prudent manner in vehicles that will provide.a reasonable return.

Durham Farm and Rural Family Resources While the programs are in place there is difficulty communicating within the spacious rural community, We supported the promotional materials. Our Home Residential and Respite Services As the children get older their needs change and customized equipment is required to ensure the safety of the residents. We funded the purchase of a customized bed, and a customized bath chair. Oshawa-Durham Symphony The Symphony had experienced severe cutbacks from government. We supported the cost of their programs. Canadian Mental Health—Durham Branch They had developed an innovative program for their clients and only funding for brochures and posters etc. We provided funding for those items.

The raised floor inside the proposed ground level addition at the north end of the dwelling is prone to about 5.2 feet of flooding under regional storm conditions from the Bowmanville Creek. Attachments one and two to this report, are copies of the staff report which was provided for members' jreview in the September 1997 agenda, and of the Authority's decision on the application. The second sentence in Authority Resolution 94/97 in regard to the Board's approval of the application states, "WHEREAS the only access to the enclosed carport/storage area is external,". i Mr. and Mrs. Cover are requesting an amendment to the above condition of the Authority's previous approval to allow an 8-foot wide open doorway to be constructed in the north wall of the existing building. In a letter received by the Authority in January 1998, the Covers are requesting permission to construct the opening due to a fire hazard. A copy of their letter is the third attachment to this report. i The opening would permit direct entry into and out of the•approved ground floor addition from within the house. Under regional flood conditions, it would allow flood waters to enter the house after passing through the enclosed carport/storage area. Entry into and out of the addition is to be by way of sliding doors. Authority staff has discussed this situated with Clarington building division staff, and has been advised that an additional opening for fire safety reasons was not a requirement under the municipality's building_permit process for the enclosure (see attachment four to this report). The last attachment to this report is a sketch provided by the applicants which portrays the intended location of the 8-foot wide opening.

File N87-116-C S.R.: 4186-97 - APPROVED BY C.A.O. MEMO TO: The Chairman and Members of the Authority FROM: Bill Fry, Planner SUBJECT: Application For Construction I APPLICANT: Aston and Joanne Cover APPLICATION: - to enclose a carport and storage area on the north side of an existing dwelling and construct raised inner floorspace; - to construct an addition above the carport/storage area noted above; and, i - to construct an elevated deck with an overhanging roof near the south end of the house about 10 feet above an existing deck, using 4 x 4 inch steel support posts. LOCATION OF SITE: 43 West Beach Road, Bowmanville Part of Lot 10, Broken Front Concession, Municipality of Clarington WATERCOURSE: Bowmanville Creek ELEVATION OF SITE: Approximately 250 feet based on C.L.O.C.A. mapping. FLOODLINE ELEVATION: Approximately 256.9 feet. (REGIONAL STORM) CURRENT LAND USE: Residential EXISTING AUTHORITY POLICY: Normal restrictions concerning construction within the regional storm floodplain. i cont'd.....2 S.R. 4186-97 Schedule 3-4,of February 17, 1998 September 10, 1997 File C97-301-C Page 2 ATTACHMENT 2 — Page 2 of 4 FACTORS INFLUENCING DECISION: The applicants approached Authority staff to obtain a permit for the enclosure of a carport/storage area and for interior floor construction after a substantial amount of this work had already been completed. It is understood that municipal staff informed the applicants that a building permit was required, and referred them to the Authority. They also wish to construct an addition above the carport area, and a deck about 10 feet above grade to the south of the existing dwelling. i i The writer inspected the site on 25 August 1997, and noted that the carport and storage area enclosure was largely completed except for window installation. It was also noted that a new wood floor had been installed throughout the former carport/storage area, with its elevation being about 21 inches above grade. Although the floor is raised, it-would still be prone to flood depths of about 5.2 feet under regional storm conditions. The site of the proposed construction is portrayed on the attached copy of floodplain mapping. The Authority has reviewed several applications for the site since 1985. Staff feels that the Board may wish to be cognizant of decisions on previous applications when evaluating the current application. An itemization is provided below: (a) November 1985: application to construct a ground floor addition to the south of the house denied by Board; (b) February 1986: application to reconstruct walls and roof at rear of house approved by Board; (c) May 1986: application to construct a second floor addition and to expand ground floor area at front reviewed by Executive Committee; second storey addition approved; ground floor expansion to the front denied by Board; i (d) May 1987: application to construct second storey addition and open carport at front approved by Board. As a result of the above approved applications, the owner entered into a save-harmless agreement with the Authority which was registered against title. In the agreement, the owner agrees with the Authority not to construct any further buildings or structures on the lands without first submitting an application to the C.L.0.C.A. Notwithstanding the noted provision in the save-harmless agreement, the applicants have partially constructed the enclosure of the carport/storage area and installed a raised floor, in an attempt to increase the habitable area of the house. Also, a deck has been constructed, without approaching the Authority,just to the south of the house. This, according to the applicants, was built around 1990, on the site of the proposed addition which was denied by the Board in November 1985. It is for this area that the applicants are now seeking the Authority's approval to construct a raised deck with an overhanging roof. cont'd......3 i S.R. 4186-97 Schedule 3-5,of February 17, 1998 September 10, 1997 FILE C97-301-C Page 3 ATTACHMENT 1 — Page 3 of 4 In reviewing past applications for the site, staff notes that the Authority's position has consistently been that there should be no ground level expansion of the living area due to the flood risk (item (a) and the latter part of(c) above). The construction of the proposed addition over the carport and the elevated deck to the south would each be above the regional flood level and consistent with previous approvals. To ensure the stability of the addition above the carport, some strengthening of the carport walls may be necessary, but provided the carport/storage area is not enclosed, staff would find this to be acceptable. Due to the depth of flooding to be anticipated under regional flood conditions, staff cannot support the proposed increase in habitable area represented by the proposed enclosure of the carport/storage area and the construction of the interior floorspace. I RECOMMENDATIONS: I. THAT the application as it pertains to the construction of the addition above the carport/storage area on the north side of the existing house and the raised deck on the south side be approved subject to the following conditions: (a) the construction shall be based on plans submitted by the applicants, amended as may be necessary to ensure structural soundness, provided no enclosures of ground floor areas occur, and, I (b) the applicants shall enter into a save-harmless agreement with the Authority to be registered against the title of the property at their expense. 2. THAT the application as it pertains to the enclosure of the carport/storage area on the north side of the fexisting house and floor construction within this area be denied for the following reasons: (a) The proposed enclosure is subject to a severe flood hazard under regional storm conditions, and residents and emergency rescue workers would be subject to a substantial safety risk. (b)Approval of the application would promote the intensification of residential use below the regional storm floodline. (c)Due to the anticipated depth of flooding under regional storm conditions,floodproofi`ng of the proposed enclosure is not feasible. (d)Approval of the application may set an undesirable precedent; and furthermore, THAT the enclosure of the carport and storage area and its associated inner floor construction completed i+*hout the Authority's approval be removed no later than 14 November 1997, to bring the carport into conformity with the Authority's approval for the structure issued in August 1987.

MEMO TO: The Chairman and CLOCA Board of Directors FROM: Perry Sisson, Director of Environmental Engineering Services SUBJECT: Pringle Creek Master Drainage Plan Update Study Background: In 1989, a Master Drainage Study was completed for the Pringle Creek Watershed, to provide stormwater management guidelines for development. The study included recommendations for flood control measures, stream erosion control works, stormwater routing, and developer cost sharing and implementation. This document has been very useful in ensuring a consistent, responsible approach to development within the Pringle Creek south of Taunton Road. The latest Regional and Town of Whitby Official Plans have designated additional lands north of Taunton Road and Within the Pringle Creek watershed for development, and there appears to be considerable interest in these lands. The Town of Whitby and the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority are proactively organizing a "Pringle Creek Master Drainage Plan Update Study" to provide stormwater guidelines for the new development lands. The Update Study will extend the guidelines for flood control, erosion control, stormwater routing, cost sharing and implementation, and will also provide new recommendations for stormwater quality treatment, and groundwater management. Additionally, the Update Study will be used as a vehicle to attain digital regulatory (100 year storm) flood plain mapping on the Town of Whitby's new 1:2000 digital contour base. Finally, this proposed project will t recommend a stream gauging system for the Pringle watershed for longer term use in calibrating hydrologic modelling and improving flood forecasting and warning systems. Proposal Bids: Proposals have been received and reviewed for the Pringle Creek Master Drainage Study Update. The lowest bidder, Dillon Consulting Limited, proposed a fee of$68,000.00 including disbursements and GST. Planning and Engineering staff from both the Central Lake Ontario.Conservation Authority and the Municipality of Whitby have reviewed the proposal and find it satisfactory. Project funding will be a combination of provincial grant money administered through CLOCA, and developer contributions, with assistance from the Town of Whitby, as necessary. The grant money will reduce the development community's cost to $55,500.00. The Town of Whitby is in the process of contacting the development proponents to attain their commitment to the project. Developers, CLOCA, Town of Whitby, and the MNR will form a steering committee to oversee the project. RECOMMENDATION: THAT Staff Report#4216-98 be received for information; and, + THAT CLOCA staff be directed to retain ,Dillon Consulting Ltd.for the preparation of a Pringle Creek Master Drainage Plan Update.

The study provided recommendations for stormwater routing, flood control, water quality treatment, erosion control, and developer cost sharing and implementation of works. I t More recent revisions to the Regional and Municipality of Clarington Official Plans added additional development land into the northern portion of the watershed (lands north of Hwy. No. 2), and created a need to update the master drainage plan. The Municipality and the Authority requested that proponents of development in the new urban area provide a master drainage study addendum. In December 1997, G.M. Sernas and Associates Ltd. submitted the West Side Creek Master Drainage Stud- Addendum to Address Future Development north of Highway No. 2. This report addresses stormwater management issues for the future development lands and maximizes the usefulness of stormwater works built or proposed through the former master drainage plan. CLOCA planning and engineering staff worked with the consultant through the preparation of this addendum, as has the Municipality staff, and find the document to be acceptable. Development proponents in the watershed have also been active in the preparation of the report, and are prepared to implement the recommended works and cost share the works and study cost. RECOMMENDATION: I THAT Staff Report #4218-98 be received for information; and, j THAT the CLOCA Board of Directors endorse the West Side Creek Master Drainage Study Addendum to Address Future Development North of Highway No. 2 as a guideline for future development in the West Side Creek watershed. t i PS/ms Attach. g:�tngftard4.doc I i i I WM Schedule 4-4,of February 17, 1998 r, i � � `� � � �•_� � �oune `: W,I `'� "fit •�' � �n J��r i U OT A/ Gr BO-WMa,- .Tf ry().

Minister Eve's letter was a direct response to vigorous advocacy efforts by AMO following the Association's February 6 Special Meeting. According to Minister Eves, this timing reflects the need for the Ministry to incorporate revised costs for programs as well as use updated assessment information. In addition, the Ministry advises that it Is working with the advice and concerns raised by AMO and municipalities since the December 12 release of financial data. At the AMO Board of Directors meeting today, concern was expressed about the implications of the date the Province has set for releasing the revised numbers, For example, a late March release will disrupt municipal budgeting processes and the timing of tax notices. It will also impact on the ability of municipalities to finalize consolidation agreements for the delivery of social assistance, child care and social housing programs that are required by the Ministry of Community and Social Services by March 31, 1998. Municipalities are finding it difficult to complete their applications for the $77 million Special Circumstances Fund and$55 million Municipal Restructuring Fund by the March 6, 1998 deadline in the absence of better program transfer costs. Provincial staff responsible for these funds advises that municipalities should, however, submit their applications by the deadline. The applications should be based on the best available information they have. Action by AMO; AMO has advised Minister Eves that while the Association is appreciative of being provided with a time frame for the release of the revised numbers, the longer it takes for the Ministry to issue revised numbers, the greater the implications for municipalities on budgeting, tendering, tax notices, etc. The Minister is being called on to review all the time lines that a late March release will affect. AMO has also advised the Minister that the Province can take this opportunity to achiove its promise of no negative impact on property tax payers. i This informatian is also available through AMO's Municom network at www.municom.com For more information contact: Pat Vanini,Director of Policy and Government Relations at(416) 971-9856 ext. 316 or email: pvanini®amo.municom.com Transmission problems: Lilian Cheung at(416)971-9856 ext.308 or email:Icheung@amo.munlcom.com G:NUGMPDUCY &,,6M&iC1i31AWPD COUNCIL INFORMATION 1-28 Association of Municipalities t' of Ontario OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT February 18, 1998 -a FEB 2 5 195 To the Head and Members of Council: 0�cLAviiNGT(A RE: CLEARING THE AIR ABOUT THE VILLAGE OF BLYTHt ,AMTEM(bISTRICT OF MUSKOKA RESOLUTIONS The Association has been receiving numerous enquiries about resolutions that have recently been circulated by the Village of Blyth and the District of Muskoka, expressing concerns about the Association and its operations..To clear the air, here is the background and current status on both of those issues. The Village of Blyth Resolution In 1997, the Village of Blyth sought support for a resolution asking that the cost of education be removed form the commercial and industrial property tax base. This resolution was endorsed by hundreds of municipalities and the delegates at the 1997 AMO Conference. Because the Association was still trying to get the Province to live up to its promise of revenue neutrality regarding Who Does What, a decision was taken by AMO last fall not to pursue the issue raised in the Blyth resolution until the Association had had an opportunity to address the outstanding WDW issues. While we are still working on those issues, the Association's Board of Directors reaffirmed its strong support for the Blyth resolution at its February 5' meeting, and will be pushing for the removal of education from the property tax base as part of its pre-budget presentation to the Province later this week. The Association has expressed its appreciation to Blyth for their efforts regarding this issue, and will continue to push for the complete removal of education costs from the property tax base without a corresponding increase in the percentage of social service costs borne at the municipal level. The District of Muskoka Resolution The District of Muskoka Resolution, which has recently been circulated to all municipalities in the Province, questions AMO's ability to negotiate with'the Province on behalf of the sector. The District of Muskoka,because it benefitted so greatly from the removal of education costs from the residential property tax base, was one of only three areas of the Province that was a rfdf winner financially as a result of the Province's Megaweek announcements in January, 1997. The alternative proposals put forward by the municipal members of the Who Does What Transition Teams, with AMO's support, would also have left Muskoka District taxpayers in a 'win' situation. Unfortunately, the reforms announced by the Province on May 1, 1997,which included a number of significant changes from the proposals put forward by the municipal sector, left Muskoka District municipalities to deal with Provincial downloading similar to that being experienced by other municipalities across the province. 393 University Ave.,Suite 1701 Toronto,ON M5G 1E6 i Head and members j of Council Date Pa a 9 While AMO regrets that the final WDW outcome means that Muskoka municipalities are bearing a heavier financial burden than they were after Megaweek,the following points need to be made: • The basic premise of AMO's discussions with the Province regarding WDW, was that municipalities would rather have some portion of education costs stay on the property tax base rather than take on much higher social service costs. This premise was supported by resolutions received from hundreds of municipalities following Megaweek. • The proposals put forward by the Transition Teams would still have left the Muskoka municipalities as net financial winners. It was the Province's decision to reject fundamental aspects of the Transition Team's final proposal that resulted in the Muskoka municipalities being less well-off than they were previously. I • While the preamble to Muskoka's resolution refers to AMO's WDW negotiations with the Province, there never were any such negotiations, because AMO was never empowered to ! negotiate on behalf of the sector. If AMO had been empowered to truly negotiate with the Province, the result would likely have been much more favourable for municipalities. Over the past year, a number of municipalities have been critical of the Association for not taking a stronger stance regarding Provincial initiatives. On February 6''',the AMO membership approved some significant changes to the Association's structure and operations-changes which should enable AMO to respond more quickly and decisively to Provincial actions. One of the key changes approved by the membership was to give the Association the clear authority to negotiate with the Province on municipalities' behalf. Let me assure you that this will only be done after consulting extensively with AMO's membership, and that the Association is working hard to find ways to improve communication with its members to enable this type of consultation to take place. Like any good organization, AMO is constantly looking for ways to improve its performance, and I have no doubt that the changes approved on February 6`'will produce positive results. On behalf of the Association, I would therefore ask that you support our efforts to deal more effectively with the Province, and not endorse the District of Muskoka's resolution. i Should you have any questions about the above, please contact Doug Raven, AMO's Executive Director, at (416) 971-9856, ext. 306.

FRF-1 Eco-Industrial Networks: Devising Practical Tools for Success March 26, 1998 Holiday Inn/Inn on the Park Toronto i Dear AMO Member: Municipal governments have key roles to play in developing Eco-Industrial Networks for improved economic and environmental well-being. The Association of Municipalities of Ontario is proud to be one of the many supporters of this conference and welcomes your participation. Industrial networking is rapidly becoming a preferred strategy for realizing lower costs and improved competitiveness. Eco-efficiency is another cost-reduction strafe focused on the efficient use of energy, water �' gY� and materials within a facility or firm. When these two strategies are combined, additional opportunities for savings result. Facilities in industrial parks,or broad regional networks,can gain additional cost savings by exchanging energy and by-product materials between facilities for maximum efficiency and by sharing infrastructure. This approach to enhanced industrial competitiveness is known as'Eco-Industrial Networking'. Over 30 Eco-Industrial Networking projects are currently under active development worldwide. I This event will explore Eco-Industrial Networks across North America. Eight Case Studies will examine: eco- nomic benefits,industrial opportunities,application in Canada,and implementation strategies. Agenda 7:30-9:00 BREAKFAST Host.

The report cards, which measure such things as production,radiation exposure, safety issues and other performance indicators, are made available to a wide range of groups,including the communities in which i Ontario Hydro's nuclear generating stations are located, and the media. The Ontario Hydro Nuclear(OHN) corporate performance index of 58 is based on figures from the fourth quarter of 1997,up almost two points from the third quarter figure.The quarterly OHN target is 60. The January figures also reflect the fact that the four A units at the Pickering Generating Station were safely shut down at the end of December 1997, and are in process of being laid up. As well, there is a new indicator under the Environment section of the report card. It covers spills j reported to the Ontario Ministry of Environment's Spills Action Centre, which have been recorded as reportable. Reportable spills are those that have had, or have likely had, an"adverse affect" on the environment, and include spills to the land, water and air.The 1998 OHN target for this measure is still being determined and «•ill appear in future report cards. The material is also available at Ontario Hydro information centres, on the Ontario Hydro web site (\vww.hydro.on.ca), and by "Fax-on-Demand", by calling 1-800-238-7718, then asking for story code— 103_0 Contact: Terry Young (416) 592-2323 "' !

I MEMO TO: The Chairman and CLOCA Board of Directors FROM: Perry Sisson, Director of Environmental Engineering Services SUBJECT: West Side Creek Master Drainage Plan Addendum Background: The CLOCA Board of Directors endorsed the West Side Creek Master Drainage Study in 1992, as a development guideline for management of water resources in the West Side Creek Watershed (refer to attached figure for watershed location). The study provided recommendations for stormwater routing, flood control, water quality treatment, erosion control, and developer cost sharing and implementation of works. I More recent revisions to the Regional and Municipality of Clarington Official Plans added additional development land into the northern portion of the watershed (lands north of Hwy. No. 2), and created a need to update the master drainage plan. The Municipality and the Authority requested that proponents of development in the new urban area provide a master drainage study addendum. In December 1997, G.M. Sernas and Associates Ltd. submitted the West Side Creek Master Drainage Study- Addendum to Address Future Development north of Highway No 2 This report addresses stormwater management issues for the future development lands and maximizes the usefulness of stormwater works built or proposed through the former master drainage plan. CLOCA planning and engineering staff worked with the consultant through the preparation of this addendum, as has the Municipality staff, and find the document to be acceptable. Development proponents in the watershed have also been active in the preparation of the report, and are prepared to implement the recommended works and cost share the works and study cost. RECOMMENDATION. i THAT Staff Report#4218-98 be received for information; and, THAT the CLOCA Board of Directors endorse the West Side Creek Master Drainage Stud y Addendum to Address Future Development North of Highway No 2 as a guideline for future development in the West Side Creek watershed.

NTO..R.W TTON 1 ' 1 B UL L-E T1_N_ February 25, 1998: For Immediate Release municipalities, support Conservation At their February 25th meeting, the municipal representatives on the Board of Directors of Kawartha Conservation passed the 1998 conservation budget. Of seventeen members voting, only two voted against the budget. "This is good for conservation and the j municipalities that form the conservation authority"said Kawartha Conservation Chair Tom Crowe. 'There is clear recognition by our member municipalities that our natural environment is important", added Crowe. He went onto say, ''We have worked very hard to put in place programs of value to our community. We have shown fiscal responsibility by not increasing m overall municipal funding, while at the same time finding new sources of revenue to support programs of great benefit to our municipal community." The 1998 budget for Kawartha Conservation is set at$338,600. Municipal funding, unchanged since 1995, accounts for$302,600. This amounts to approximately$3.86 on the average property tax bill. 'There is some minor variation in apportioning funding between municipalities due to variations in discounted equalized assessment", said Kawartha Conservation Manager, Ian Macnab, adding,"In the case of our largest municipal contributor, the Town of Lindsay, funding for 1998 has actually dropped $919.00 or 1.3% compared to 1997." i In 1995 provincial funding reductions of$280,000 effectively removed 56%of total conservation revenues. With an outpouring of community and business support, Kawarthe Conservation has restructured and moved forward. "With support from groups such as j Friends of Kawartha Conservation, Coldwell Banker Kent Place Realty, and Pickseed Canada, we have seen non-municipal revenues grow from only$1900 budgeted in 1996 to a projected $28,000 in 1998. This is still a long way from the total lost revenue we experienced "! at the end of 1995", said Macnab, "but we are moving forward and the continuing support of member municipalities and our community is very gratifying." ........... _ i -30.- For more information, please contact: Ian Macnab (705) 328-2271 t Ken Reid Conservation Area,Kenrei Park Road,R.R.01,Undsay,Ontario K9V 4R1 705-328-2271 "' 1-800-668-5722 - ••-•_—� i COUNCIL INFOOMATION 1-31 NEWS i FROM ONTARTO HYDRO ONTARIO HYDRWS'PICKERING UNIT 7 RETURNS TO SERVICE February 26, 1908 Pickering, Ontario — Unit 7 at Pickering; Generating; Station returned to service yesterday.

Barrie Clerk Municipality of Clarington 40 Temperance Street Bowmanville ON L1C 3A6 Dear Ms. Barrie: Thank you for your letter advising me of Clarington's endorsement of a resolution passed by the Region of Halton Council,with respect to the report of the Advisory Council on Social Housing Reform. I apologize for the delay in responding. As council is aware, last year, the Advisory Council on Social Housing Reform made 27 recommendations on reforming the social housing system. In October, I announced my acceptance, in principle, of all of its recommendations and my intention to establish a Social Housing Committee and three working groups to work out the details of the reforms to the social housing system, prior to its devolution to municipalities. On January 9, 1998, I announced the appointment of the Social Housing Committee, which contains strong representation from the municipal sector, and the three working groups; one group to look into the issue of funding for social housing, a second to deal with the issue of administrative roles and responsibilities, and a third to examine the future of the Ontario Housing Corporation. These working groups include representatives of municipalities and housing providers. The Social Housing Committee will review recommendations from the three working groups, and will submit its own recommendations to me in the spring. I believe that the issues raised in the Region of Halton resolution may well be dealt with by the working groups. For instance, the concerns*related to funding for social housing could be addressed by the working group on funding, which is co-chaired by the Commissioner of Corporate Services for Halton. This working group would also look into the setting of standards. Similarly, the other working groups will address a variety of issues and will make recommendations to me on those issues. /2 - 2 - Ms. Patti L. Barrie The transfer of responsibility for social housing to municipalities is part of the realignment of provincial and local responsibilities under the "Who Does What" (WDW) reforms. Social housing is one of the community services needed by people on low incomes, and the province recognizes the need to integrate social housing, welfare and health services at the community level, to make the system work better. With regard to the sharing of social housing costs across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), the government recognizes that the GTA is a single social and economic unit. Since the benefits of economic growth and development are shared throughout the GTA, it is only fair i that the costs of maintaining the social safety net including social housing, be similarly shared. A fair distribution of both benefits and costs across the GTA is necessary to preserve and strengthen the economic and social health of the entire area. The government's goal is to continue to protect the people who live in social housing, while making the system simpler, more accountable and more cost-effective. We look forward to moving ahead with the detailed changes that will lead to a better social housing system for Ontario. i Thank you for writing to share council's views with me. Sincerely, i A'K.

Current Federal- Provincial agreements limit the ability of the Province to implement reforms in the social housing system and to transfer administrative responsibility for social housing to municipalities, but do not prohibit the transfer of the cost of social housing to municipalities. Bill 152, which received Royal Assent on December 8, 1997, provides the Province with the authority to transfer the costs of social housing to municipalities as of January 1, 1998. Without a new Federal-Provincial agreement in Ontario, the ability of the Province to transfer administrative authority and cost control for social housing directly to municipalities will be limited. The Federal Government has initiated discussions with the provinces to devolve administrative responsibility for social housing to the provincial level, and has negotiated agreements with four provinces and two territories to date, These new agreements feature: increased provincial flexibility In managing social housing programs,provincial administrative and reporting requirements,capping the flow of Federal funding at 1995/96 levels for the remaining years of operating agreements, adherence to Federal social housing principles, and retention of savings achieved through implementing efficiencies at the provincial level. Discussions between the Federal Government and Ontario regarding a new social housing agreement for Ontario are currently on hold due to Federal concerns regarding devolution of social housing programs to municipalities. While AMO does not concur that this is a program to be supported by the property tax base, the Province intends to proceed with the transfer and municipalities will be receiving provincial invoices shortly. AMO has written to the Federal Minister responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing,the Honourable Alfonso Gagliano, and to Ontario's Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to indicate that municipalities expect to have service management authority for this municipally-funded program. A copy of AMO's letter to the Federal Minister is attached for your information. The letter has been copied to all members of the Federal Liberal Caucus to ensure that all members are aware that Ontario's municipalities expect to have management responsibility for this $S80 million program. Social Housing Reform Process The Ontario Government has indicated that it intends to implement much needed reforms to Ontario's social housing system prior to the transfer of management and administrative responsibility to municipalities, Municipalities have a key interest in the outcome of the reform discussions underway, and in ensuring that the process of reform be completed as soon as possible, as they are responsible for the costs of the program. ../2 83/84/98 Z3:88:39 If T; ASSOCIATION OF?-> 905 623 6838 CLERK-Clarington Hun Page 883 MAR-04-98 WED 04:30 PM AMO FAX NO. 4169716191 P. 02/03 Member Communication - FYI: Social Housing Update - 2/2 Minister Leach is moving forward with the recommendations of the Advisory Council on Social Housing.

As you are aware, with the proclamation of Bill 152,Ontario's municipalities now have responsibility for funding social housing.AMO wants to ensure that changes to the social housing system will provide municipalities with program management authority to accompany their funding responsibility as soon as possible, To this end, Ontario's municipalities have a significant interest in the discussions between Ontario and the Federal Government on a new agreement for social housing as it relates to Federal-Provincial cost-shared programs. We understand that should Ontario and the Federal Government not reach an agreement,the ability j of the Province to implement much needed social housing reforms,and to transfer administrative authority for social housing to municipalities will be limited to non-existent. This situation would be unacceptable to municipalities since we are funding approximately$880 million In social housing costs annually. Achieving municipal management authority over social housing programs, like all services funded through municipal property taxes is a paramount concern. As the level of government which now funds social housing in Ontario,municipalities want any agreement between the Federal Government and the Province of Ontario to ensure the following: • that municipalities are provided with service management authority for Ontario's social housing programs; that an efficient,streamlined social housing program can be implemented In Ontario; • that funding for social housing,including Federal funding and efficiency savings are passed directly to municipalities to support municipalities in carrying out their social housing responsiblUes:and i that program reforms and the subsequent transfer of administrative authority to municipalities take place as soon as possible. We also recommend that the most suitable means of reflecting municipal interests in social housing would be to include municipal governments in tripartite discussions with the Province and the Federal Government. i Given the new municipal responsibility for social housing in Ontario and your ongoing discussions with the Ontario Government, I would like to meet with you to discuss the municipal interest In managing a reformed and streamlined social housing system as soon as possible, I have asked AMO staff to contact your office to set up a meeting at your earliest convenience.

Working at both a grassroots and global level, the Foundation believes that safe communities are a basic human right. The Foundation has already established partnerships with communities in Ontario and Alberta. i The first ten communities to join the Safe Communities network are Medicine Hat, Strathcona'County and Lakeland Region in Alberta and Brockville, Waterloo, Peterborough, Kingston, Smiths Falls, Lambton County and the Rainy River District in Ontario. Within two years the Foundation will be working with 16 communities in Canada. i I , Paul Kells, whose 19-year-old son Sean was killed in an industrial explosion, was the driving force behind the creation of the Foundation. Through his efforts, he enlisted the support of the five major national banks; the Bank of Montreal, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Royal Bank, Scotiabank and Toronto Dominion Bank. These founding sponsors of the Safe Communities Foundation provide 95 percent of the funding in the first phase. Also sponsoring the Foundation are DuPont Canada Inc. and Noranda Inc. The Foundation's Board of Directors comprises representatives „rd"'g'r° of the banks, its corporate sponsors, the Ontario and Alberta Ministries of BAS.OF M0\-TRH\l &�..kNAN ki:ER:AI Labour and Industrial Accident Prevention Association (IAPA). B,k\:.OF CONIMER1 F RovAt 8.�� SC:CSI \R.i�E` At the local level, the Foundation works with community organizations to ti,�T,�L'�ttNt B��� bring occupational health and safety expertise to small businesses and links R;�,Iplring S them to many other community-wide safety initiatives. It raises funds from the DE'P :F CANAt,k I ,;,,,L,,,.,I.. private sector to support the injury prevention programs developed locally. ,,a,fit...•.,• The first step towards a "safe community" is helping communities establish steering committees to develop and implement community-wide long-term health and safety programs. On these committees are representatives of local governments and agencies, � businesses, chambers of commerce, service clubs, community safety organizations, and ' I district health councils. The Foundation has produced a booklet to help interested communities through the process of launching a safe communities project. It is available from the Safe Communities Foundation by phoning (416) 964-0008 or faxing (416) 964- 0089. Steering committees identify local workplace and community injury patterns and health and safety training requirements; once needs are established, a suitable training schedule is developed. Participating businesses pay a token fee to register in their community's project. In addition to offering organizational expertise, grants, and support to participants, the Foundation helps the steering committees identify local private and public-sector partners and resources. i "The participation of small businesses is the key to the success of our unique approach," says Paul Kells, Vice-Chair of the Safe Communities Foundation. "With our help they will be able to identify the practical ways to implement injury-prevention initiatives, thereby reducing the chance that employees will be hurt or killed." "Our aim is to spread the safety message across Canada by joining forces with as many partners as possible. It is a win-win situation for all involved. By learning and implementing new approaches to safety, participants can reduce the numbers of injuries and deaths in their workplaces, make their employees happier and more productive, increase their profitability, and avoid the huge costs of emergency, health care and support services", according to Foundation Chair, Geoff Cannon. The Foundation coordinates the efforts of all participants to achieve province-wide effectiveness. A strong supporter of the worldwide safe community network established under the auspices of the World Health Organization, the Foundation networks nationally and internationally with groups allied to the Safe Communities goal.

It was launched on April 23, 1996 as a national umbrella organization for community-based programs involved in creating and promoting a culture of safety within Canadian communities. i Q: Who is involved in the Safe Communities Foundation? A: Paul Kells is the founder and Vice-Chair of the Foundation. His 19-year old son, Sean Kells, was killed in an industrial explosion in November 1994, on his third day of work at a part-time job at a small business. Founding sponsors are the Bank of Montreal, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Royal Bank, Scotiabank, Toronto Dominion Bank, DuPont Canada Inc. and Noranda Inc. The Foundation is also supported by the Ontario Ministry of Labour, Alberta Labour and the Industrial Accident Prevention Association.

In Alberta, projects are underway in Medicine Hat, Strathcona \,,R„I,.,IM, County and the Lakeland Region. Projects are currently being developed in •q Lwow> - Belleville, Ontario and Fort MacMurray, Alberta. The Foundation hopes to be working with 16 communities within two years. Q: What are the roles of the local steering committees? - A: Steering committees are formed with local representatives from business, industry, the municipality, district health and safety organizations, police, and fire departments. With the help of the Foundation, these steering committees examine community injury patterns; identify long-term health and safety needs; develop and implement appropriate training programs; and evaluate results. The steering committee provides the leadership needed in eliminating community-wide injuries. Q: How do local businesses benefit? A: Participating local businesses: • improve their health and safety programs • reduce their WCB costs by working together in community-based groups • receive expert reviews of their health and safety plans • benefit from work site consultations • make their communities safer places to live and work • become known as safety champions and community leaders • improve productivity and reduce operating costs • attract and keep good employees Q: How do workers and their families benefit? A: Needless to say, injuries and deaths are very traumatic for families. Alcoholism, depression, and family breakdowns can follow serious accidents, compounding the difficulties faced by victims and their families. Improving workplace.safety dramatical - reduces the suffering and deaths caused by injuries on the job. D1�' i '` '�� � ` ACK,. SY _ ORIMI At TQ•- COPIES T0: i i Q• How does the Foundation operate at the community level? i A: At the community level the Foundation: • assists people to establish steering committees in their own communities • helps the steering committee plan and implemenflong-term injury prevention programs • provides resources on how to operate such programs • can provide seed funding if required Q• Are there additional benefits to the community? A: Reducin g injuries juries lowers police, fire, ambulance, health care, and hospital costs; it I also reduces the cost of counseling and care giving for injured workers and their families. Keeping workers healthy not only increases the productivity of a community, but also improves the morale of its citizens. Q• How common are workplace injuries? A: Injury is the fourth leading cause of death in Canada. Every workday three people die on the job, and another 3,266 have injuries that are serious enough to be reported to the Workers' Compensation Board. WCB paid over$5 billion in benefits to injured Canadian workers in 1994. Q: How will the Safe Communities Foundation make a difference? A: A pilot project in High River, Alberta reduced its WCB claims by 66 percent last year. The World Health Organization supports the concept because it works. Australia, i Norway. Sweden, and the U.K. all have Safe Community Networks that have measurably reduced the incidence of injuries. - The Foundation will make a difference by educating Canadians about the importance of zero tolerance when it comes to injuries. i (30) _ For more information, please contact: Sian Gibson; Safe Communities Foundation -0089 Tel.: (416) 964-8296; Fax: (416) 964 i . . 64 Charles Street East i Suite 201 lbronto, Ontario A44Y I TI 0416 964.0008 P;:.,416 964.0089 �I Rainy River District Receives Designation as a Safe Community Toronto, Ontario—November 10, 1997—The Rainy River Valley Safety Coalition has atio Found joined the Safe Communities Foundation network.

Dl*r. ..- �R1NOA 1. i I I The Rainy River Valley Safety Coalition, made up of local representatives from public health units, fire and police departments, local businesses, service clubs and health organizations,developed a business plan that outlines the establishment of a distinct safety resource centre that will contribute to the identification,collection and distribution of injury data. The business plan also outlines innovative health and safety initiatives in areas such as small business workplaces, farms, playgrounds and support to the elderly. i Workplace Iniuries Using an incentive program developed by the Ontario Workers' Compensation Board, the Coalition will be signing up 50 small businesses and helping them reduce their I Workers' Compensation injury costs by 20% by the end of 1998. Farm Safety The Coalition determined that the farming sector needed support in promoting and developing health and safety awareness. The objective are to have 20%of the region's farms undergo a Farm Safety Audit and 30 farm families complete a First Aid Course. The plan also includes increasing the number of farms currently enrolled under the Workers' Compensation Board by 10%. Data Gathering for Violence Related Injuries Over the next year the Coalition will be gathering specific data about violent incidents and injuries within the district. This data will be used next year to develop a strategy to reduce the number of injuries caused by violence. j Plav2round Safetv The Coalition will undertake a district-wide audit of playgrounds and develop a strategy to correct any identified problems. Tile objective is to reduce injuries that occur in playgrounds by 20%. Falls Among Seniors Hospital admissions and deaths due to falls among the elderly are higher in the Rainy River District than in the Thunder Bay District. A review of where injuries occur suggests the home is an appropriate place to focus attention. The Coalition's objective is to reduce i i i falls by 20% by implementing a public education program, evaluating public building entrances and developing a home safety audit program for seniors. I The Safe Communities Foundation works in partnership with the private and public sectors to improve the health and safety of workers and people throughout the community. Safe workplaces. homes and recreation areas mean fewer injuries and deaths. This not only results in improved productivity and profitability but a less costly health care system and less human suffering,which is immeasurable. The goal of the Foundation and the Rainy River Valley Safety Coalition is to eliminate injuries,while promoting a culture of safety across the country. All injuries are preventable.

I am not writing this letter to re-hash the accusations and-misinformation that was discussed at that time. I am a home worker, and have been employed by Paula Lishman Limited for eight years. Cutting fur has enabled me to be a stay at home mother, and therefore take an active part in the education and leisure activities of my children. How fortunate for the citizens of Orono and surrounding area to have that same opportunity. I take pride in my work and am personally distressed by the misguided information that was brought forward on Feb. 2/98. The Lishman proposal is a plan that all of Clarington can be proud of and benefit from. Paula and Bill Lishman are known globally for their interest in preserving nature and it is beyond my comprehension why there should even be one person against such a proposition. I Personally my life has been enriched by my experiences at Lishmans beyond what I can tell you in this letter. (Please feel free to call me) If the proposal is turned down we will all be losers, and not just in tax dollars, employment opportunities, etc.,but in knowing we could have had one of the most innovative and environmentally friendly operations in Canada. Respectfully, Renate Mirsch, I ? ACK.

How can a gravel pit be considered to be prime farm land? It seems that Courtice & Bowmanville can attract industry & development but Orono, an area which has lost over the years most of its local jobs is not permitted to produce jobs due to short sighted planning by-laws.

But it is at the community level where municipal governments can truly encourage all members of our society to become involved - in a uniquely Canadian wayl As Honourary-Chair, 1-.challenge you to invite f everyone to participate, including-service and business organizations. No doubt, March 21 actions could easily become the stepping stone for year- long initiatives to promote harmony. Tried and proven ways are as effective as new ways in taking part in the March 21 Campaign. A municipal government-can, for instance: Proclaim March 21.'as the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (model proclamation attached). - Hold a reception at the municipal hall for community leaders,police representatives and business participants in encouraging everyone to join in the campaign to promote healthy respect for all citizens. - Award a certificate of merit to Individual(s)to recognize their efforts to promote harmonious race relations as a social benefit. I - Undertake specific municipal initiatives that recognize and promote respect for cultural diversity in-your community, e.g. archival displays of diverse cultural history(as may be appropriate). - Challenge municipal staff to work with those in the community to develop suggestions to promote long-lasting harmony. For example, how best can:you integrate Black History Month and/or Asian Heritage Month activities in your program. - Participate in FCM's Race Relations Award as an active way of stimulating recognition for positive action by your municipality. Undertake a poster,. essay, or video competition to stimulate interest by the entire community (including schools and businesses) to.promote respect for diversity as a tangible way of celebrating Canadian values. i - 3 - Declare March a special"Harmony Month"or days close to March 21 as "Harmony Week. - - Utilize existing municipal communication tools to draw attention to the diverse clientele in your municipality, e.g., those serving on boards and commissions. Actively encourage organizations allied to your municipal government, such as Chambers of Commerce-and/or Boards of Trade to work in partnership to celebrate.. .this year's March 21 Campaign, making it the best yet. March .21 resource materials such 'as stickers, posters, and information booklets are available from the Department.-of Canadian Heritage by calling* toll free: 1-888-MARCH 21; OR BY E-MAIL: March2l@daregroup.com. , Municipalities. can :also obtain resource material by contacting the regional offices of the Department. j I thank you in advance for your participation and cooperation in undertaking pro-active efforts to foster nation,building and achieve long- lasting racial harmony, as we move towards the year 2000.

Diane Hamre-Mayor Dear Sir&Madam: I am sure you have had countless opinions offered to you on the Lishman proposal so I might as well add one more. I have never met Bill or Paula Lishman and have no personal interest in the proposal. I am however, keenly interested in industrial/commercial developments in Clarington and wish to state that I am in favour of the municipality allowing them to proceed. I say this even though I have both zoned industrial land and existing buildings in-industrial zoned areas that I would be happy to lease or sell to them instead. The simple truth is Clarington needs the industry and the jobs related to it. The land has no agricultural value, and I am sure the various authorities will ensure that the environment is not adversely affected. We should not forget about the importance of having local employment both for young people and older people who do not wish to.commute out of the area. I believe the majority of residents in Clarington would agree with allowing the proposal. The anti- development interests, no matter how few people they represent, seem to make the most representations and submissions on any development proposal. This does not make your job easy but I am confident in the end you will make the best decision for the community as a whole. DISTPLRUTION Sincerely, CLERK�� ._._....�. ACK. BY.,..,. .

This organization has been in operation for one year and is run by a volunteer board of interested and committed parents and riding instructors from the Durham area. The DC Saddle Club consists of a series of schooling shows to begin in mid Spring and culminate in a season finale at the Orono Fair in September. This sport enjoys participation from a growing number of youth in Durham. The age range of the kids starts as early as 5 years of age but, most especially, it is our teens that actively pursue this sport and it is our teens that so rarely receive the support of the community and have so few organized activities open to them. Primarily the volunteer board is interested in providing an affordable, safe environment to support our up and coming young riders. Membership to the English Hunter Schooling Show in open to all ages and levels of enthusiastic and learning riders. Due to the high costs incurr6d in being involved in this sport the DC Saddle Club is looking for ways to keep costs down so that every child has f an opportunity to participate. We are hoping to enlist the support and sponsorship of businesses and interested parties in the Durham area. i Sponsorship funds would go towards the cost of running the show series, pay for judges and to help us in providing ribbons and cash awards for the show divisions. These cash awards would serve as an incentive to attract other competitors to our series of shows.

Hamre & Council, Municipality of Clarington. Dear Mayor Harare &Council; As residents of Cedarcrest Beach Rd.,we anticipated that the transition from Waverly Road to using the completed bridge and the new access via Cove Road might entail the use of a temporary route that might be of a slightly lesser quality than the original route we used. When we were switched over to the temporary internal haul road some problems immediately became apparent. Though Mr. Vokes was contacted and has made every effort to rectify the situation,the time of year, and weather conditions make some of the solutions unattainable until spring. Other i solutions may necessitate some law enforcement efforts. This letter is not intended as a criticism of Mr. Vokes or Public Works. Some of us residents feel it is important for Council to know of our concerns and have these concerns officially recorded. 1. The amount of dirt,dust,etc.that is tracked onto this route by traffic going out of the various St. Marys facilities is creating a continual dust problem when the area is dry and a treacherous traction and visibility problem when wet. The slimy spray is k:.eping our vehicles constantly dirty,reducing visibility, creating a skid hazard and possibly doing damage to the paint and under carriage of our vehicles as well as soiling our clothes. People who use their cars for business have the extra expense of daily vehicle washing. 2. Some of the large vehicles are parking on the shoulder and creating a hazard forcing small vehicle traffic to use an incorrect lane to access or leave the area. The use of this incorrect lane could result in a collision. 3. Some of the large vehicles tend to stay in the centre of the haul road causing smaller vehicles to be forced over onto a bumpy or slippery shoulder resulting in an unsafe situation. 4. The pot holes reappear at an alarming rate and are much deeper than no.rnail}-experienced. This is likely due to the weight of the larger vehicles using this road. There is concern that suspension damage is a possibility if our vehicles are frequently subjected to these conditions. 5. Some individuals feel that more or more visible•signage or lighting is needed to make the detour more apparent to visitors to the area in order to prevent an accident at some of the sharp turns. Please be advised,that those of us who signed below do support Council in their efforts to implement the Waterfront Regeneration Trust Plan, and do expect some inconvenience as this plan is put into action. r However, we wish Council to be aware of the situatio7 we find our selves in and would appreciate any on going monitoring and assistance in problem resolution as the need occurs.

The condition of this road is creating problems and concerns for area residents, including: • nuisance problems such as dust; • an increase in personal expense associated with more frequent vehicle washing and clothing laundering and drycleaning; • potential damage to vehicles due to the heavy coating of limestone dust/mud on the undercarriages and painted surfaces; potential damage to vehicles as a result of the surface condition of the haul road; and 4K. ST treacherous driving conditions and increased risk of accidents fiR1G,'N,'!1 arising from the parking and travelling patterns of the trucks using the haul road, and from limited visibility on some sections of the road. i i i i j While the PDCA recognizes that weather conditions have made repairs to the haul road more difficult, the safety of Cedarcrest residents must be ensured during the period when the haul road will be in use.

Stephenson Bowmanville,Ontario L1C 1R4 February 12, 1998. Mayor and Members of Council MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 Temperance Street Bowmanville, Ontario L1C 3A6 Your Worship and Council Members I have just read the latest editions of Clarington This Week ("GO threatens to kill bus route" February 10, 1998, Vol. 5, No.6) and The Canadian Statesman ("No GOT' February 11, 1998, Issue 6) and must voice my utmost concern at the prospect of losing GO Transit service along the highway#2 corridor between Bowmanville and Oshawa. f Certain comments made by Councillor Young in the Clarington This Week article gave me cause for great concern. It seemed from that article that Councillor Young was indifferent to this possible change. I am glad that I waited to finish this letter until after reading the article in The Canadian Statesman. From this article it is clear that Councillor Young and the other members of Council are showing more concern for this issue than the first article indicated. I would find it callous of Council not to be concerned about the possibility of GO Transit service along highway # 2 between Bowmanville and Oshawa being cancelled. There are many people in Clarington who for one reason or another do not own a car and depend on the services of Go Transit for access-to Oshawa and all other points served by the system. Many people depend on a reliable transit service to come and go to work, appointments, and shopping. Although not a daily user of the system, I do use it frequently to go to or from work in Courtice and Toronto. The demise of this route would seriously affect my ability to earn an income. I am pleased to see from the second article that Council is examining the issue of public transit within Clarington and I must agree with Councillors Young and Mutton when they state the need for a public transportation system which extends i Gavin M. Stephenson _ 2_ I beyond the highway # 2 corridor from Bowmanville. With consideration to the environment and the consumption of ever dwindling resources I feel that Councillor Young as Chair of Public Works should be concerned by this development and I am pleased to know that he is examining ways to maintain or expand the existing service or failing that, looking into alternative systems. _ I Clarington has grown recently, with one of the major selling points being part of the GTA and accessible by GO Transit. If this growth is to continue members of council should take this information seriously and not dismiss it without consideration to the effects that it will have on local residents. In these times of severe economic restraint and downloading from the province it may not be that long before a decision is forthcoming from GO Transit and alternatives or solutions should be found before that eventuality comes to pass.

These changes are often driven by fiscal concerns, irecteur general without adequate consideration of the- inter-governmental relationships needed to deliver the public services involved.

NOW IS THE TIME TO PERMIT, RATHER THAN CONSTRAIN, MUNICIPAL GOVERNANCE. Municipal government is the bedrock on which Canadian democracy rests. Municipal councils are closest to the people and, more and more, are providing the public services and works that meet citizens' needs. Despite expectations on the part of local citizens that municipal institutions act as if they constituted a level of government, the Canadian constitution does not recognize municipalities as an order of government. As a consequence, municipal governments do not have adequate powers or resources to meet local needs or expectations. This can be resolved, in the short-term, by adjustments to existing provincial legislation. In the long-term, the role municipal governments already play in the nation's political and economic spheres will be reflected by recognition, with entrenchment of municipal powers, in the federal Constitution. Municipal Status In The Global Community The position of municipalities in the Canadian federal system is out of step with the rule of law and principles of law found in the international community. The lack of recognition powers and resources distinguishes Canadian municipalities from their counterparts in ancient and emerging civilizations. With the shrinking of the global community, the linking of cities, the rounds of global conferences and the international reach of the media, the deficiencies in the Canadian system have become starkly exposed. Throughout history, the cities of the world have been the cornerstone of society. The international community recognized this pivotal role of municipal government when convening the Second Global Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat 11) in June of 1996, in Istanbul, Turkey. For the first time in an international forum, municipal government was strongly represented through formal participation in national delegations. Also known as the City Summit, Habitat II established an international framework for building strong cities in the 21'century by promoting policies that address critical urban issues and by affirming the need to afford municipal government the necessary legal and financial capacity to resolve pressing human settlement problems. The consensus of Habitat 11 was that the United Nations and others' objectives for sustainability in human settlements can only be implemented by municipal governments that have adequate legal and financial capacities. i i I i 2 The International Union of Local Authorities (IULA) and the European Economic Community (EEC) have recognized formally that municipalities must be able to exercise power in relation to any matter that is not expressly excluded from their competence or exclusively delegated to another entity. IULA and the EEC also have recognized formally that municipal powers must be adequate to meet local needs and not be subject to adverse intervention by other orders of government. Although the quality of Canadian municipal government is recognized the world over, and the participation of Canada's municipal governments in the international community and the global economy is growing, the laws of the Canadian federal and provincial governments do not conform with the principles of Habitat 11, IULA or the EEC. i Shortcomings of Municipal Government Reform The pursuit of municipal government reform in Canada's provinces and territories is gaining serious momentum. Unfortunately, it seems driven by the fiscal concerns of other orders of government rather than the vision of empowered municipal government. It is reform by implication or inadvertence rather than by principle. Worse, it gives the impression of change, which could cause the parties most affected to relax in their pursuit of principles of local governance. Local authorities' concerns have been elevated by the widespread acceleration of federal and provincial/territorial delegation of duties and responsibilities to municipal governments (e.g., airports, ports, harbours, policing, health, welfare, highways, bridges, economic development, public transportation, affordable housing, environmental protection, etc.). The federal government is withdrawing from many hitherto urban policy and program areas. This has compromised the economic and social stability of many urban governments. This trend accompanies a rapid provincial devolution of financial responsibilities. The problem is that, with some exceptions, the withdrawal of other orders of government from municipal programs and the devolution of financial responsibilities has occurred without any vision with respect to the cooperation by the orders of government in the delivery of public services and without an adequate expansion of municipal govemment powers, resources and autonomy. Some provinces have taken steps to adjust their legislative regime to permit local self government. In January 1995, Alberta enacted the Municipal Government Act which gives municipalities "natural person" powers and broadly enables municipalities to exercise, in their discretion, a wide range of permissive powers (as opposed to a limited number of express powers, as found in the legislation of other provinces). The problems with the Alberta approach are that it does not amount to a fundamental change of the Alberta Constitution, there is no entrenchment of the municipal legislation (e.g., by way of an amending process), there is no commitment to consultation prior to future change, and many powers required provincial approvals. 3 In October 1996, Manitoba enacted the Municipal Government Act. The Manitoba legislation is less empowering than Alberta's. The Manitoba Act does not give municipal governments "natural person" powers. As a consequence, the Province can participate more in municipal affairs than in Alberta. Although the Manitoba legislation broadly enables municipalities to exercise their discretion by a wide range of permissive powers, the range is narrower in scope than is the case in Alberta. The Nova Scotia Municipal Legislation Review Committee released a discussion paper in June 1996 proposing a new Municipal Government Act. The proposal would not give municipal governments "natural person" powers. Instead, it would continue to give municipalities a limited number of express powers, as opposed to broadly enabling municipalities to exercise a wide range of permissive powers. In September 1996, British Columbia executed a "Recognition Protocol" with the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) to recognize municipalities in that province as an order of government. According to UBCM, however, the Province has unilaterally eliminated municipal grant guarantees, reduced grants, transferred major highway responsibilities and closed local courthouses without meaningful prior consultation with municipalities. On March 10, 1997 Ontario released a discussion paper outlining a new Municipal Act.. The proposed legislation would give municipalities "natural person" powers and broadly enabling spheres of jurisdiction (e.g., public utilities). within those spheres, municipal governments could act or exercise powers from a comprehensive "tool kit" (e.g., expropriate) Historical Background f The debate over the need for recognition of the status of municipal governments predates Confederation. Lord Durham, in his 1839 report, argued in favour of guaranteeing municipal institutions in the Canadian Constitution. Lord Durham's recommendations were never embodied in Canada's constitutional law. The Constitution Act, 1867, established the parameters of current federal and provincial relationships with municipal governments. Section 92 of the Act set out the exclusive powers of provincial legislatures in 16 areas, with Section 92(8) giving the legislature of each province exclusive responsibility for making laws relating to that province's municipal institutions. Other than in respect of Alberta's Municipal Govemment Act, the legislation of each province in relation to municipal institutions differs little from the 1849 Upper Canada Baldwin Act. The Act first established the role, function and structure of local authorities in municipalities. Now more than 80°x6 of Canadians live in municipalities. When the Baldwin Act was adopted, the principal municipal government issues were drunkenness and profanity, the running of cattle or poultry in public places, itinerant salesmen, the i 4 repair and maintenance of local roads, and the prevention or abatement of noises and j nuisances. Today, municipalities own and operate waste treatment plants, airports, telecommunications systems, hydroelectric plants and public transportation. They deal in everything from social programs to low income housing to toxic and waste remediation. In short, municipalities provide services never contemplated in 1849. These growing municipal duties and responsibilities are evolving in the face of legislation and structures j that have not varied from a model anchored to the needs of the mid-1800s. For years municipal governments have criticized the institutional restrictions on their decision-making powers and ability to raise revenue. They have worked to simplify the complex intergovernmental matrix of shared responsibilities and resources in favour of transparency and accountability. Throughout the country, municipal governments have tried to find alternatives to the current system which would provide greater autonomy. In a number of provinces, municipal governments have engaged in exercises aimed at "disentangling" municipal responsibilities and revenue sources from the provinces. Through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and in association with the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators (CAMA), municipal governments have argued for explicit recognition of the essential role of municipal governments in the Canadian federal system. In 1991, FCM informed the federal government that the Charlottetown Accord, like the Meech Lake Accord, was deficient because it failed to acknowledge the existence and role of municipal governments in Canada's political system. In FCM's 1991 brief to the Special Joint Committee on a Renewed Canada, FCM advocated a two-pronged approach to recognition. First, municipalities would negotiate, through their provincial/territorial associations, a redefinition of their status under provincial law with their respective provincial/territorial governments. Second, the Canadian Constitution would be amended to recognize the existence and role of municipalities of its policies. Though Prime Minister f Pierre Elliot Trudeau agreed in 1978 to consider including municipal recognition in the Constitution, in 1991, provincial and federal governments refused to add FCM's proposals to the already overcrowded constitutional agenda. The Charlottetown Accord was defeated in a national referendum. Principles Governing the Future Role of Municipal Government Canadians want governments to be responsible and efficient and they want to control their institutions. Canadians rightfully expect all orders of government to cooperate in the delivery of public services. Unless the role of municipalities in the Canadian political system is recognized, the quality of our democracy, the efficiency of our public services and the equitable treatment of taxpayers are all compromised. The international principles of local self government can be realized in Canada first by way of alterations to provincial legislation without amending the Canadian Constitution. The provinces, under the existing Constitution, have the power to expand the jurisdiction and capacity of municipal institutions, permit greater local autonomy force meaningful consultation and permit greater innovation. Provincial legislation consistent with the intemational principles of local self government will bring the law into conformity with the i Y{ 5 reality of municipal governance. The process will also prepare the public and the provinces with respect to the most appropriate roles and responsibilities of municipal governments as we move in the direction of constitutional change. Municipalities will need the support of the public and the provinces (noting the constitutional amending formula) in order to have formal recognition, and entrenched powers, under the Canadian Constitution. Powers Required to Support the Future Role of Municipal Government FCM and CAMA have established a joint task force which asserts that good municipal government, by way of provincial/territorial legislation and eventual amendments to the Canadian Constitution, must have the capacity to: 1. act or exercise legislative and decision-making powers in relation to every matter that is not expressly excluded from its responsibility; 2. participate in decision-making by other orders of government which has local implications; I 3. have full autonomy to exercise its decision-making powers to meet existing and future community needs; 4. have adequate financial and legal resources and permissive powers to provide good government and services locally; 5. have the discretion to respond in a creative, innovative and entrepreneurial manner to meet existing and future community needs; 6. protect institutional integrity so that one order of government cannot transfigure unilaterally municipal governments without the express consent of both the municipal governments and the local electorate, that proposed changes are necessary and will enhance municipal financial and administrative operations and the economic and social well-being of the community; and 7. that the next terms of reference for Municipal Government as presented at the Policy Forum of the FCM/CAMA Task Force on the Future Role of Municipal Government be referred to all provincial/territorial municipal associations for review within 30 to 45 days of the Annual Conference. The foregoing powers must be exclusive and not subject to change without an amending formula and they must be respected by other orders of government. i i i 6 Recommendations: i It is recommended that FCM approve this Policy Statement and work with the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators, the provincial/territorial municipal associations and other organizations to: 1. strongly urge the federal government, and through provincial/territorial municipal associations the provincial/territorial governments, to recognize the need for an expanded partnership which would include municipal governments as a full partner in intergovernmental processes; i 2. remind the federal government of the effects of its actions on municipal ( governments and urge the federal government to recognize and consult FCM as the vehicle through which municipal government viewpoints are expressed on national I issues; 3. urge the federal government to consult municipal governments directly on federal policies and programs of local significance; 4. urge the provincial/territorial governments, through the provincial/territorial municipal associations, to negotiate a redefinition of the status of municipal governments as requested by provincial/territorial municipal associations, and to recognize such new arrangements in the provincial/territorial constitutions; 5. urge the federal and provincialltemtorial governments to recognize municipal government as an order of government in the Constitution of Canada; and 6. urge all Parliamentarians to recognize the essential role municipal governments play in the governance of Canada and to accept that such recognition is a ( prerequisite for the efficient delivery of quality public services and the equitable treatment of Canadian taxpayers by the federal government.

It appears to us that the best comments were made in the "Canadian Statesman" dated 02/25/1998. The comments were made by Fred Archibald and were we understand forwarded to the Clarington Council as well . We do not have a business in Clarington but are interested residential occupants . We have lived and worked in the area our entire lives . We are now retired and continue to be involved. It is our opinion that Clari ngton should do everything in its power to make sure that the Lishmans stay here. They are internationally famous for their work and their being here in Clarington could only be positive for the community. f As to the environmental issue, part of their fame is because of their concern for the environment. Mr. . Archibald has also made some excell ent points on this issue and they need not be repeated here. We have, in discussing this issue in social situations, been overwhel med by the support we hear. It is only hoped that Bill and Paula Lishman ar e hearing these positives, and that Clarington Council will- .-soon be acti - ng on I ���<4,T-f J I,±ice them. -- A!,X BY Please convey our wishes to council.

In fact, it has become a major concern of law enforcement agencies and citizens alike. By implementing Crime Prevention Programs through dedicated community organizations, this insidious problem can be greatly reduced. One such "Citizen Involved" Crime Prevention Program is Neighbourhood Watch. It is a self-help project, which employs an elegantly simple technique to reduce threats of crime against potential victims. May this letter introduce you to a group of concerned citizens who i want to get involved in such a program. Through persistence, devotion and hard work, these people have made an honourable effort to form a Neighbourhood Watch within their community. They have met all criteria as set out in the Durham Regional Police Service "Neighbourhood Watch Guidelines" and have received a commitment from their fellow neighbours of at least 75% participation. Cont'd. . . . . 2 i i 77 Cecvtre St. North,Oshawa,Ont.

It is recommended that they be granted permission to erect approved Neighbourhood Watch signs in their area as a crime deterrent. To this end may T say that Crime Prevention is a matter of attitude and involvement by us all, not just a job for a few professionals. The attitude and involvement of these citizens proves their genuine concern to make our community a better place to live. I Sincerely, Paul A.

As companies restructure and attempt to find their place in the global economy, entry-level positions for young people have become scarce. There is a clear and compelling need for all citizens, organizations, businesses and governments to work cooperatively to solve this problem. To this end,two youth career fairs have been planned for the Week of March 23-27, 1998: i The Youth Career Info Fair March 23,24 1998 Presented by Human Resources Development Canada and The Durham District School Board in cooperation with Durham College,The Durham Catholic District School Board, The Region of Durham Department of Social Services and The Durham Region Local Training Board. This two-day fair will highlight the skill sets needed to succeed in the new millennium. The fair, open to all citizens of Durham Region,will focus on the needs of those individuals 15-30 years of age and will be free of charge to all participants. Durham College Career Fair '98 March 25, 1998 Presented by Durham College This fair will give employers a chance to meet potential job candidates from post-secondary programs at Durham College. By aggressively marketing the talents of their graduates, Durham College makes prospective employers aware of Durham Region's highly trained workforce, thus improving the Region's economic development opportunities. Since both these fairs occur during the same week and, collectively, address the needs of 100% i of the Region's youth at no cost to the participants,the coordinators of the two fairs are jointly requesting the following: • That your council members issue a proclamation designating the week of March 23-27, 1998 as YOUTH CAREER WEEK in Clarington. The attached letters will confirm the support of the groups mentioned above. If you require further information, please contact Julian Luke at the 725-6319. Yours sincerely, Julian Luke, Coordinator, Youth Career Info Fair I Human Resources D6veloppement des Development Canada rssources humaines Canada February 16, 1998 78 Richmond St. W., Oshawa, Ontario L1G 1E1 - - To whom it may concern, This will introduce Julian Luke who has been hired to develop and organize a Career Information Fair for Youth on behalf of Human Resources Development Canada _ and several other community partners. The intent of the Information Fair is to increase the awareness of youth of the opportunities available to them in the local labour market and what they need to do to prepare themselves for those opportunities. We also want to make them aware of the many sources of help that are available to them in the local community to better prepare them for employment and for their own job search. On behalf of HRDC, the local Boards of Education, Durham College, agencies serving youth and the broader employer and economic development community in Durham Region, I would ask that you provide him with as much support as you can in this important event. Durham Region should benefit greatly from this investment that we are making to assist young people to be all that they can be. They are the future of our work force and economic well-being here in Durham and around the world. They deserve all of the help that we can muster. Thank you for your support. We look forward to having you as part of a very dedicated team that is working hard to make this event a success.
