News release via Canada NewsWire, Toronto 416-863-9350
Attention News Editors:
PROVINCE ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR SPECIAL NEEOS HOUSING
TORONTO, June 12 /CNW/ - The province will assume approximately $54
mi' .ion in costs for dedicated supportive housing and domiciliary hostels
aci fee Ontario, rather than devolving them to municipalities. Both of these
ty� .�s of housing serve individuals with special needs including: individuals
with developmental disabilities, people with mental illness, frail elderly
inO4.viduals and people with addiction problems.
"The province is committed to meeting the housing requirements of people
special needs, " said Minister of Municipal Affairs 'and Housing Al Leach.
'This decision helps the government provide integrated administration of
lousing and support services. At the same time municipalities will have lower
to ;ing costs. —
'
SupThe province will retain 100 per cent of the costs of dedicated
portive housing, rather than transferring it to municipalities as part of
he provincial-municipal realignment of services. This will save
wr-cipalities approximately $40 million annually province-wide. It will also
36 amline the administration of dedicated supportive housing by providing
air _,le-source funding.
Municipalities will save a further $14 million with the province's
iecision to resume funding 80 per cent of the costs of domiciliary hostels.
ih1 is in response to an early recommendation of the province's Task Force on
dory lessness.
"Our recommendation is based on what we heard from providers, advocates
:nd municipalities, • ' said Jack Carroll, MPP, Chair of the Task Force. "The
,rc ince is committed to assessing the levels of service provided to
:o9 ciliary hostel clients as part of a broader review of approaches that will
:oa._ effectively meet the housing requirements of clients with special
eeds. "
This change is retroactive to January 1, 1998, and will not affect the
oor, y available to municipalities through the Community Reinvestment Fund.

Dedicated Supportive Housing/bomiciliary Hostel
f
Backgrounder
Dedicated Supportive Housing
The province will transfer approximately $40 million in dedicated
supportive housing costs to the Ministry of Community and Social
Services or the Ministry of Health. The annual funding requirement
will be assumed by the provincial government, resulting in a reduction
in social housing costs being transferred to municipalities.
Approximately 550 projects with approximately 5,400 units operated by
more than 200 housing providers will be transferred.
Supportive housing is housing for tenants who require support services
to live independently in the community. These tenants are typically
individuals with developmental disabilities, people with mental
illness, People with physical disabilities, people with HIV/RIDS or
acquired brain injuries, troubled youth, frail elderly individuals,
people with addiction problems, or are victims of family viglence. The
Ministry of Community and Social Services and the Ministry of Health
already fund the agencies that provide the support services to the
tenants.
I
Dedicated supportive housing projects are entirely occupied by tenants
who require support services to live independently in the community
instead of an institution.
Streamlining both housing and support service dollars within these
ministries will allow better planning, monitoring, and administration
of supportive housing dollars.
Domiciliary hostels
In response to an early recommendation of the Task Force on
Homelessness, the province will fund 80 per cent of domiciliary hostel
costs, with municipalities funding the remaining 20 per cent.
This decision is expected to save municipalities more than $14 million
in 1998.
The government will review domiciliary hostels in the context of
housing for people with special needs.
i
I
i
(more)
Domiciliary hostels are permanent residences for people with special
needs. The hostel operators have entO-ed into agreements with the
municipality and receive a per diem t6 provide residents with
permanent accommodation and some supports to daily living. Residents
are people with special needs including: individuals with
developmental disabilities, people 'with mental health problems, frail
elderly individuals and people with ddiction problems. Unlike
emergency hostels, domiciliary hosteN are permanent homes for their-
residents.
General
- Tenants in supportive housing and domiciliary hostels will not be
affected by these decisions. They will still have the same
relationship to the service provider and landlord as they have always
had, and they will receive the same services.
- These changes will not affect the money available to municipalities
i
through the Community Reinvestment Fund.
- The changes are retroactive to January 1, 1998. This means that:
- previous cost estimates for social housing will be reduced by the
appropriate amount for dedicated supportive housing in the affected
municipalities
- municipalities will be reimbursed for 80 per cent of domiciliary
hostel costs for 1998 at the end of the year

AMENDMENTS TO LABOUR RELATIONS ACT AIM
TO PROVIDE FLEXIBILITY FOR MUNICIPALITIES
ISSUE: Introduction of labour legislation which will give municipalities involved in construction projects
greater flexibility in dealing with construction workers.
FACTS:
On June 4, 1998, the Honourable Jim Flaherty, Minister of Labour, introduced Sill 31, the Economic
Development and Workplace Democracy Act, 1998 which amends the Labour Relations Act, the Employment
Standards Act and the Occupational Health and Safety Act This Bill is designed to increase investment and
job creation in Ontario's construction industry and to help ensure labour relations stability
Of greatest interest to municipalities are the amendments to the Labour Relations Act regarding the
construction industry. By amending the definition of an employer in the construction industry to exclude-
employers who may occasionally undertake construction work but whose primary business is not that of
construction, employers, such as municipalities,school boards and banks,will not be bound by the special
construction provisions in the Act. In being considered 'non-construction employers', they will no longer be
bound by the province-wide collective agreements of the Industrial,Commercial and Institutional sectors when
they have construction work done. Rather, municipalities, and other non-construction employers,will be able --
to negotiate agreements specific to their circumstances. While a 'grandparenting' provision states that
existing non-construction employers with collective agreements that are effective when the amendments come
into force continue to be bound by the agreements, the employer can apply to the Labour Relations Board
to obtain a declaration or order that it is no longer covered by the construction collective agreement. The only
condition for making such an application Is that the employer must not have any employees in the construction
industry (i.o, the bargaining unit) on the application date,
Other components of the Bill include:
• A proposed framework to negotiate specific agreements for major industrial projects in Ontario(including
something like an Olympic bid)
• Amendments to make the union certification process more democratic
• Miscellaneous amendments to all three pieces of legislation to achieve greater efficiencies in adjudication-
procedures
Greater authority given to the labour Chair to proceed with a case and to make rules governing practice
and procedures of the Board.
STATUS: AMO welcomes the flexibility that this Bill brings to municipal construction projects. AMO is
seeking clarification regarding whether there will be public hearings on this Bill.
This information is available through AMO's MUNICOM network at www.municom.com.

BILL 16 BECOMES LAW
SMALL BUSINESS JOBS AND CHARITIES PROTECTED
TORONTO.--The Small Business and Charities Protection Act(Bill 16), the final
legislative step in the government's plan to bring fairness to property assessment and- ---
taxation, has received Royal Assent, John Baird, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister
of Finance, announced today.
"Over the past 18 months, this government has brought about the most comprehensive
reform of the property assessment and tax system in Ontario's history," Baird said.
"Beginning with the Fair Municipal Finance Act, we have brought fairness and
consistency to a severely outdated assessment system and given municipalities a
range of planning tools and choices to make fair tax policy decisions, now and in the
future.
"This new legislation fulfills both our commitment to property tax reform and to creating
a climate where small businesses can grow and create jobs. Small business continues
to be the engine of job creation in Ontario," Baird added. "The Act will also ensure that
the pace of reform is manageable and consistent with local priorities."
The Small Business and Charities Protection Act, 1998 provides for a three-year plan,
announced by the Minister of Finance on March 27,that municipalities can use to limit
business property tax increases to no more than 2.5 per cent a year In 1998, 1999 and
j 2000. To ensure that all businesses can be protected, the Act extends this 2.5 per cent
limit to businesses that lease premises, for example in office buildings, shopping
centres and industrial malls.
Charities occupying business properties can also be protected by the 2.5 per cent limit.
Where municipalities do not apply the 2.5 per cent limit, charities will receive mandatory
rebates of at least 40 per cent of their property taxes. Municipalities may provide
rebates of up to 100 per cent to charities occupying properties in any class.
The Act provides additional municipal powers to ensure fairness in taxation. Four new
optional property classes will be available to municipalities, as well as graduated tax
rates for industrial properties and rebates for those commercial and industrial properties
that face property tax increases due to assessment reform.
s
2
Assessment rolls will be delivered to municipalities on June 15, "The government is
taking steps to help municipalities and school boards deal with this slight delay in roll
return," said Baird. The deadline to appeal property assessments will be extended to
August 31, 1998.
To further support a climate for business growth and job creation, the government will
start to cut commercial and industrial education tax rates in municipalities where rates
exceed the provincial average. 1998 rates will be set shortly after the return of
assessment rolls. As promised in the 1998 Budget, the government will introduce
legislation in the fall to ensure its eight-year plan to reduce commercial and industrial j
education tax rates by a total of$500 million In municipalities where these rates are
above the provincial average.

Back rounder June 11, 1998
Small Business and Charities Protection Act, 1998
What the Act does:
protects small businesses
* Municipalities can limit tax increases on businesses to no more than 2.5 per cent a
year in 1998, 1999 and 2000.
• To protect all businesses, the 2.5 per cent limit also applies to individual business
tenants:.for example, small businesses who lease space in shopping centres, office
buildings or industrial malls.
• The limit applies to individual businesses such that their 1997 realty tax and
Business Occupancy Tax cannot increase more than 2.5 per cent-a year.
• To protect small industrial properties, municipalities can set graduated tax rates for
the industrial class, similar to the graduated tax rates municipalities can set for 4
commercial properties. This allows municipalities to apply lower tax rates to lower-
valued business properties.
•, Municipalities that do not apply the 2,5 per cent limit can rebate property tax
increases due to assessment reform for businesses in the commercial and industrial
classes.
Enhances protection for charities
• Charities that occupy business properties will also be protected by the 2.5 per cent
limit on property tax increases.
Municipalities that do not apply the 2.5 per cent limit must provide registered
• charities with property tax rebates of at least 40 per cent.
,I
• Municipalities can provide registered charities and similar organizations occupying
any type of property with rebates of up to 100 per cent of property taxes.
• To provide charities with more certainty and to help speed up rebates, municipalities
must provide charities their 1998 rebates and the first installment of their 1999
rebates by October 31, 1998.
I
• The province would share the cost of these rebates for education tax purposes.
2
Provides fair treatment for landlords
• Owners of commercial, industrial and multi-residential properties can be protected
by the 2.5 per cent limit.
• Landlords holding gross leases can pass through to tenants the equivalent of the
average Business Occupancy Tax for the property class in their municipality. Where
municipalities apply the 2.5 per cent limit, landlords can pass through the actual
amount of the 1997 Business Occupancy Tax.
• Landlords holding gross leases can pass through the Business Improvement Area
charges to tenants occupying business property.
Gives municipalities more power and flexibility
• Municipalities will have additional powers and flexibility to make tax changes fairly, In
ways that best meet local needs. New powers include:
- graduated tax rates for industrial properties;
- four new optional property classes: shopping centres; office buildings; vacant
land and parking lots; and large industrial properties;
- extended powers to phase in all tax changes related to the Ontario Fair
Assessment System, for example, graduated tax rates.
- rebates on assessment-related property tax Increases for commercial and
industrial properties.
Amendments to assist charities, small businesses and municipalities
i
in response to advice from municipalities and municipal organizations, a number of
technical amendments have been made to the Act since its introduction. For example,
amendments will:
• Support protection for charities and similar organizations, regardless of the type of
property they occupy. For example, municipalities may rebate taxes to charities and
similar groups occupying residential property.
• Allow municipalities flexibility in the timing of rebates to charities.
• Allow municipalities more time to make tax policy decisions. Municipalities may
request a 30-day extension of the deadline to make decisions about applying the 2.5
per cent limit or choosing optional property classes.
• Clarify how municipalities can determine phase-in amounts.
I
3
Deadline to appeal assessments extended
Property taxpayers will have more time to file a formal appeal of their property
assessment. The appeal deadline is extended to August 31, 1998, reflecting the delay
in the return of the assessment roll to June 15, 1998.
!assistance with municipal and school board cash flow
The Act allows the Minister of Education and Training to delay the June 30 school
board remittances by municipalities. The Province will make equivalent payments to
school boards on behalf of municipalities. Municipalities will repay the Province, without
interest, at a date to be determined shortly.
In addition to this measure, the government is addressing cash flow concerns of
municipalities in other ways:
i
• Municipalities will not be required to make Local Services Realignment payments
until September 1, 1998.
•
Eligible municipalities received the first half of their Community Reinvestment°Tund-- —--
allocations in late May, well before any payments to the Province are required.

OFFENCES
There are 32 offences in the Tenant Protection Act (TPA) that apply to residential tenancies.
This pamphlet sets out how to report an offence, who to contact and the remedies.
Reporting an of
i
An offence may be reported to the Investigation Unit of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.
The Investigation Unit can be contacted by calling toll-free 1-888-772-9277 or( 416) 585-7214.
In some cases, the staff of the Unit will contact the offender to try and resolve the problem.
In other cases, an investigator will investigate the complaint and may lay charges against the offender,
who xvill have to stand trial in court and you may be asked to attend as a witness.
i
' Yottr Options
It is up to ou whether or not to:
• report the offence to the Investigation Unit;
and/or
• apply to the Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal.
These are t-wo separate processes. The Investigation Unit is not part of the Tribunal. Filing an
application with the Tribunal does not tell the Investigation Unit about the offence. Reporting to the
Unit does not tell the Tribunal you wish to apply.
For general information about the rules concerning landlords and tenants, contact the Ontario Rental
i
Housing Tribunal toll-free, 24 hours a day at 1-888-332-3234.
i
j
If you report the offence, the Unit will look into your complaint whether or not you apply to the
Tribunal. You do not have to pay a fee to report an offence.
You also have a right, in many of these cases, to apply to the Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal. For
example, if a tenant was charged illegal rent, the Tribunal can order the landlord to repay the excess rent.
If a tenant was harassed by the landlord, and as a result moved out, the Tribunal can order the landlord to
pay the tenant's moving expenses and a rent abatement for the time the tenant was being harassed.
To make an application, you will have to complete a form, file it with a Tribunal office (usually paying a
fee), and give a copy to the other party. A hearing will be held, and you will have to prove your case.
The other party will have an opportunity to answer your claims.

offence. It is the Tribunal which can order payment to you of any money owed to you.

JUN 1 5 1998
NCU)S Reb7setAAYOA'S IPALITY OF CLARINGT
OFFICE
98-15 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 12, 1998
AECB publishes latest radiation doses from
Darlington and Pickering nuclear stations
Ottawa=-In its latest edition of its information bulletin,the Radiation Index, the
Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB) indicates that the total public radiation exposures from
the Darlington and Pickering nuclear generating stations in the first quarter of 1998 remained
extremely low.
I
This most recent AECB Radiation Index shows that, for the three-month p" Md-ft-Gm_.�--
January 1 to March 31, 1998, the public radiation doses* due to the operation of the Darlington
and Pickering stations were 1.2 and 2.5 microsieverts,respectively. This brings the total for the
last four quarters to 4.6 microsieverts for Darlington and 14.8 microsieverts for Pickering.
In comparison, a typical chest X-ray produces a dose of approximately 70 microsieverts, while a
return flight from Toronto to Vancouver would result in an increased dose from cosmic radiation
of about 20 microsieverts.
The doses indicated due to the operation of the nuclear stations are for the most exposed
persons, typically those living just outside the station boundary. Most persons in the region
would have received less, since radiation doses decrease significantly as the distance from the
stations increases.
For the past four years, the Atomic Energy Control Board(AECB) has been producing
regular editions of the Radiation Index to inform the residents of Durham region of their
radiation exposure from the Pickering and Darlington nuclear generating stations. Up to now,
the AECB has purchased space in local newspapers in order to give these bulletins a wide
visibility, so that residents would become familiar with the product and the information it
contained. Due to budgetary restraints, this edition of the Radiation Index will be the last one
published by the AECB in local newspapers.
However, the Radiation Index will continue to be produced on a quarterly basis and, as
has been the case since its inception, it will be sent to local media and to any other interested
persons. We hope that your local media will continue to relay the information to their audiences.
i
We also intend to begin publishing the Radiation Index on the AECB Web site at
wivw.gc.ca/aecb, in the near future,

* The radiation dose is a measure of the quantity of radiation absorbed by the body. It is
normally measured in units of millisieverts (one thousandth of a sievert) or in microsieverts (one
millionth of a sievert). The latter unit is used in the Radiation Index.

®� GUIDELINES FOR PRESENTATION OF RESOLUTIONS TO FCM
It is by way of resolutions that Municipal, Affiliate and Associate Members bring their concerns
to FCM for consideration at the Annual Conference, held in June of each year, or at meetings
of the National Board of Directors, held in September, December and March.
I
1 . Resolutions may be submitted by any municipality or provincial/territorial municipal
association which is a member in good standing of the Federation of Canadian
Municipalities.
2. All resolutions endorsed at the Annual Conference or at the National Board of
Directors and which require action from the Government of Canada shall be submitted
to the appropriate minister, department or agency for response.
3. It is therefore important that resolutions be carefully worded so that F--CM-is-diree-ted
to take the appropriate action and that the proper message is conveyed.
4. FCM does not wish to receive resolutions which pit one municipality against another.
5. Members submitting resolutions regarding Community Safety and Crime Prevention
matters are advised to focus on the "principle" of the issue being addressed and avoid
attempts to re-word the criminal code.
6. A national vocabulary should be used at all times when drafting resolutions. Local
references may detract from the national significance of resolutions
I
CONSTRUCTION OF RESOLUTIONS
7. All members are urged to observe the following guidelines when preparing resolutions
for submission to FCM:
a) FCM will take a stand only on issues which are clearly of national municipal interest
and which fall within the jurisdiction of the federal government, the provincial and
territorial governments acting at the *interprovincial level, or FCM itself. Indirect
municipal issues and local/regional issues will not be supported by major research and
lobbying activity, unless otherwise directed by the Annual Conference or by FCM
National Board of Directors.
i
b) The descriptive clauses (WHEREAS...)should clearly and briefly set out the reasons
for the resolution. If the sponsor believes that the rationale cannot be explained in
a few preliminary clauses, the problem should be more fully stated in supporting
documentation.
I
C) The operative clause (BE IT RESOLVED...) must set out its intent clearly and briefly,
stating a specific proposal for action to betaken by FCM. (i.e., BE IT RESOLVED that
FCM urge/endorse/petition...) Generalization should be avoided. Further, the
resolution must clearly include a municipal thrust (i.e., how does or will the intent of
the resolution affect municipal governments?).
d) Background information must be submitted with the resolution. When a resolution
is not self explanatory and when adequate information is not received, FCM staff may
return the resolution to the sponsor with a request for additional information or
clarification.
e) Proof of endorsement by the sponsoring council must accompany the resolution.
PLEASE NOTE: Resolutions that do not comply with the foregoing guidelines will be returned
to the sponsoring Mnicipality!municipal association for revislon/rewriting or/and receipt of
adequate information in justification and support of the intent of the resolution.
CATEGORIZATION OF RESOLUTIONS
The Standing Committee on Policies and Resolutions will review the resolutions m- ceived-and
categorize g e them as follows:
Category A: National municipal issues
Category B: Local/regional municipal issues
Category C: Issues not within municipal jurisdiction
Category D': Matters dealt with by FCM in the previous three years and that
are in accordance with FCM policy
Category D2: Matters dealt with by FCM in the previous three years and that
are NOT in accordance with FCM policy
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
The Standing Committee on Policies and Resolutions is responsible for receiving and taking action
on all resolutions in accordance with the above stated guidelines.
Resolutions which fall within the mandate of an FCM Standing Committee will be reviewed by same
for the purpose of presenting recommendations to the National Board of Directors or the Annual
Conference. Standing Committees are responsible for ensuring that resolutions are compatible with
j existing policy statements and approved resolutions.
THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF RESOLUTIONS TO FCM'S NATIONAL BOARD
OF DIRECTORS FOR THE SEPTEMBER 1998 MEETING IS AUGUST 4.
The Standing Committee on Policies and Resolutions stresses that resolutions received after the
deadline cannot be processed in time for inclusion in the Board Book and will be held for action by the
National Board of Directors at its meeting in December 1998.

REPORT:
1.0 INTRODUCTION
• On May 7, 1998,Finance Minister Eves introduced Bill 16,Small Business and
Charities Protection Act, 1998.
• The Bill gives legislative effect to announcements by the Minister of Finance
made on February 5 and March 27, 1998 including: the optional capping of tax
increases for commercial,multi-residential and industrial properties; the option of
new classes such as shopping centres and large industrial enterprises; and, the
extension of tiering or graduated tax rates to the industrial class as now applies to
the commercial class.
• The legislation also makes mandatory the provision of rebates to charities.

2.2 Charities/Similar Organizations
• Optional rebates for charities(up to 40%under Fair Finance legislation)have now
become mandatory rebates of at least 40%and up to 100% for charities in the
commercial and industrial class. (Officials indicate that owner-occupied charities
will remain in the residential property class,which effectively restricts the rebate
to charities renting or leasing commercial and industrial space).
• Municipalities can choose to make rebates to similar organizations in any amount
up to 100% of taxes paid.
• The Region and Area Treasurers Working Group is looking for a way to identify
charitable organizations so that cost estimates may be developed for mandatory
rebates. According to Provincial officials,there will be no separate identifier
on the assessment roll to segregate these properties.
REPORT#98-F42
ACTUAL VALUE ASSESSMENT-UPDATE:SMALL BUSINESS
AND CHARITIES PROTECTION ACT 5.
2.3 Other
• Appeals: Final date for appeals of assessment has been extended to
July 31, 1998 leaving taxpayers two months after the return
of the assessment roll to file an appeal.
• Interim Financing: Minister of Education and Training authorized to pay
second instalment of property taxes to school boards, with
provision for reimbursement from area municipalities.
• Education Taxes: Minister of Finance authorized to requisition municipalities
for education taxes on business properties. (No tax rate
has been established although the recent Ontario budget
mentioned a Provincial average rate for planning purposes
of 3.3%). _
3.4 WHAT'S MISSING:
• As noted above,regulations defining new classes,prescribing new sets of
transition ratios to accommodate new classes and governing graduated rates,
charitable and business rebates are required. Provincial officials indicate that new
class definitions and associated sets of transition ratios will be released before the
end of May and later enshrined in regulations, expected in mid-June.
• In addition, the following information has yet to be provided:
i
the final assessment roll,promised for the end of May, without which
transition and tax ratios cannot be determined;
the Provincial range of fairness to be specified in regulation;
— regulations relating to the discounts and covering rules for farmland
awaiting development;
�i
regulations respecting appeals of ineligibility rulings respecting
qualification as a farm/managed forest property;
regulations respecting payments-in-lieu determination and allocation
among the two levels of government and the school boards; and
regulations indicating the tax rates on railway and hydro rights of way.

4.0 SUMMARY
Allowance of Flexibility in setting Property Tax Rates:
The new provisions allow some increased flexibility for easing the burden of tax
increases within the industrial, commercial and multi-residential classes. Staff
will be exploring the potential use of these options.
• The new provisions allow no additional scope for easing the burden of tax
changes on residential taxpayers and,in fact,if the capping option were
employed on the non-residential classes, all of the budgetary and net
downloading impact would fall on residential ratepayers.
• Municipalities have lost their earlier discretion respecting.whether or not to
extend rebates to charities and the amount of such rebates if granted(up.to 40%).
Mandatory rebates not only infringe on the municipalities' tax poi * tee
4Qm-b t
may significantly add to local costs.
Complexity:
• The addition of new classes gives rise to several different combinations of
transition ratios, depending on which of the particular classes the municipality
chooses to adopt. Officials indicate that there may be as many as 16 separate sets
of transition ratios generated to accommodate municipal choice on the new
classes.
Timelines:
• The timelines for consideration of the new options are extremely tight--decisions
regarding the establishment of new classes and the optional 2.5%caps are
required within 30 days of the release of the final assessment roll at.the end of
May, 1998. To make an informed decision on new options, consideration will
have to be given to all available alternatives to determine whether the new options
are in the Region's interest.

REPORT#98-F42
ACTUAL VALUE ASSESSMENT-UPDATE:SMALL BUSINESS
AND CHARITIES PROTECTION ACT 7.
4.0 SUM1V1[A,RY/cont'd
• The time allowed is especially stringent, considering the added complexity of the
exercise and the fact that municipalities will not have the final assessment, class
definitions and transition ratios to evaluate options until the end of May. At the
same time, municipalities will not have the certainty of final regulations on
outstanding information(eg. transition ratios, class definitions) and rules until mid
June.
• Finance Department staff will continue to keep the Committee informed as new
information is provided by the Province.

I am writing to bring you up to date on the government's plans with respect to the props3,sed,new--
Municipal Act. We released draft legislation for comment in February, and the deadline for
comments was May 8. I would like to thank everyone who took the time to respond. Your input
is very much appreciated.
We are now reviewing the submissions we have received. While we are still analysing those
i submissions, it is clear that many people continue to have valuable comments about various
aspects of the bill. I will therefore take the time to consider all the comments before introducing a
new Municipal Act in the Legislature,
�I
Within the next few weeks, after we have thoroughly evaluated all of the submissions,I will be
informing you about our further consultation with stakeholders on the new Municipal Act.

We continue to be committed to a new Municipal Act that would reduce government duplication
and bureaucracy, allowing local governments to meet local needs as efficiently as possible and
better serve Ontario taxpayers. I look forward to working with you over the next few months
toward that goal.

Commissioner's Report to Planning Committee
Report No. 98-P-57
Date: June 9, 1998
SUBJECT
Application for a Provisional Certificate of Approval (A680295) for a Waste
Disposal Site under Part V of the Environmental Protection Act by T.S.
Environmental Services Ltd., Municipality of Clarington, File: 2.8.11
Communication dated April 16, 1998 from The Ministry of the Environment
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. THAT the Ministry of the Environment be advised that the Region of Durham
does not request a hearing by the Environmental Assessment Board for a
proposed Certificate of Approval (A680295) by T.S. Environmental Services
Ltd., located at 373 Lake Road, Bowmanville, in the Municipality of
iClarington; and
2. THAT a copy of Commissioner's Report No. 98-P-57 be forwarded to the
Ministry of the Environment and the Municipality of Clarington.
REPORT
1. Origin
1.1 The Ministry of the Environment requests the Region's comments on the
necessity of a hearing under Part V of the Environmental Protection Act, for
an Certificate of Approval application by T.S. Environmental Services Ltd for
a polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) processing and transfer operation.
1.2 In the event that the Director of the Ministry of the Environment considers-it
necessary to have a hearing under the Environmental Protection Act, the
evidence heard will allow the Director to consider compliance with the
Environmental Protection Act, nuisance factors, public interest or hazards to
the health or safety.
40
Commissioner's Report No. 98-P-57 Page 2
1.3 The Council adopted procedure for the review of Certificate of Approval
applications stipulates that applications involving hazardous waste requires a
report to Planning Committee.
2. Back,round
2.1 PCB is a clear liquid which has the appearance of mineral oil. PCB was
largely used as an electrical insulating fluid in transformers and capacitors.
The use of PCB was banned in Canada in 1980. The concern with PCB is
that it does not break down easily and is absorbed in the food chain and may
cause cancer.
2.2 T.S. Environmental Services Ltd. has applied to the Ministry of the
Environment to allow a PCB processing and transfer operatie4,loeated at-373
Lake Road, south of Hwy 401 in Bowmanville (see attached location Sketch).
T.S. Environmental has been operating for approximately 7 years with a
Certificate of Approval for two mobile units for PCB processing in Ontario.
They now wish to operate in a permanent facility.
I
2.3 The proposed operation would process and repackage PCB waste for final
destruction in Swan Hills, Alberta. The following electrical equipment would
be received at the site for processing from various locations throughout
Ontario:
• fluorescent lamp ballasts;
• high intensity discharge ballasts from old street lights;
• hydro transformers and switchgear;
• underground lead and copper cable; and
• any PCB contaminated material.
The equipment would be dismantled so that parts containing PCB would be
removed and placed into a secured drum for transport. Storage would be
limited to a maximum capacity of 75,000 kg (75 metric tonnes) of
unprocessed waste.
2.4 The processing operation would take place within trailers currently used in
the mobile operation. The storage of PCB would take place in separate
trailers and the entire area would be fenced for security.
41
I
Commissioner's Report No. 98-P-57 Page 3
2.5 The subject property is designated "Employment Area" in the Durham
Regional Official Plan and permits waste processing and transfer operations
in this designation. The subject property is designated "Light Industrial
Areas" in the Clarington Official Plan and zoned General Industry (M2).
2.6 The Council for the Municipality of Clarington approved a recommendation
that the Ministry of the Environment be advised that the proposal conforms to
the Clarington Official Plan and zoning by-law and requested the Ministry
hold a public meeting on this matter.
i
2.7 The Regional Works and Health Departments has reviewed the application
and indicated no objections.
3. Comments
3.1 The subject site is located within an industrial park, removed from residential
uses. The Municipality of Clarington is processing a site plan application
i which will deal with issues such as building location, site development and
fire safety. The Council of the Municipality of Clarington did not recommend
a formal hearing under the Environmental Protection Act. However,
Clarington Council did request the Ministry of the Environment to hold a
public meeting.
j -
3.2 The processing, transfer and storage of PCB waste is strictly regulated by
Federal and Provincial governments. The Certificate will have conditions to
ensure that the facility is operated properly with respect to handling PCB,
record keeping and inspection. The existing process of disassembling,
recovery and transfer of PCB contaminated equipment will not change, other
than the establishment of a permanent location.
3.3 Many local hydro commissions and Ontario Hydro have approved PCB
storage areas at their facilities. Often they use companies similar to the
applicant's to dispose of PCB.
42
Commissioner's Report No. 98-P-57 Page 4
3.4 For the above reasons it is recommended that the Region advise the Ministry
of the Environment that a hearing under Part V of the Environmental
Protection Act is not requested.

TENANT PROTECTION ACT TAKES EFFECT IN ONTARIO
TORONTO, June 17 /CNW/ - The Tenant Protection Act was proclaimed today
and took effect across Ontario, announced Municipal Affairs and Housing
Minister Al Leach.
"The new law is a balanced package that benefits both landlords and
tenants, ' ' Leach said. " It reforms the system of rent regulation, improves
the maintenance of rental buildings, and helps to create a better climate for
t' e construction of new rental housing in the province. "
The Act also establishes the new Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal, a
quasi-judicial agency that will resolve disputes between landlords and
tenants. Applications already underway will be resolved under the current
si stem.
The Tenant Protection Act reforms six pieces of existing legislation: The
Rent Control Act , the Landlord and Tenant Act, the Rental Housing Protection
f t, the Municipal Amendment Act, the Residents' Rights Act , and the Land
Li ase Statute Law Amendment Act.
The reform of Ontario's system of rent regulation began in June 1996,
4th the release of a discussion paper. Committee hearings were held across --
t e province, and legislation was introduced in November 1996. The bill
rlcceived second reading in June 1997, then a second set of committee hearings
were held during the summer months. The legislation received third reading in
( vember 1997.
"This legislation protects tenants first and foremost , ' ' Leach said.
' 'At the same time, it gives the taxpayer a workable system of rent
r,^gulation.
BACKGROUNDER � 1`F?13tJ-1`10 N
The Tenant Protection Act
JR iGINH_l Tv:!_
Problems with the Current System nopl;:S T7r.ay.
- The housing stock is rundown, and rental buildings across the p ' c e
require billions of dollars in repairs.
Maintenance is poor, and some rental buildings in the province have:
hundreds of outstanding work orders for maintenance.
There is little investment in rental housing, and very few- private - -
sector rental units are being-.built in major cities.
(more)
_z-
Vacancy rates are low in many cities, and tenants have few choices
about where to live.
The system is complex, and it can take months to have a basic dispute
between a landlord and tenant settled in court.
The Goals of the Tenant Protection Act
- Protect tenants from unfair rent increases and arbitrary evictions.
- Improve maintenance and get tough on landlords who fail to take care
of their buildings.
- Help to create a climate where people will invest in rental real
estate.
- Streamline 'administration and cut red tape to create a faster, fairer
system.
Consultation on the Tenant Protection Act
- Studies by private consultants, including the Lampert Report
identified the need for major changes to the system of rent regulation
in Ontario.
- The government consulted for one year with tenants, tenant
organizations, landlords, landlord associations, developers, builders,
and others interested in rental housing issues before introducing the
Tenant Protection Act in the legislature in November 1996.
- The Standing Committee on General Government conducted public hearings
in nine communities during August and September 1996. The ministry i
received more than 400 written submissions from across the province.
- After the Tenant Protection Act received second reading in the
legislature in June 1997, the Standing Committee on General Government
held public hearings for a second time on amendments to the
legislation.
- The Tenant Protection Act received third reading in the legislature
and royal assent in November 1997.
- The Tenant Protection Act was proclaimed and took effect on June 17,
1998.
i
The Legislation
- The Tenant Protection Act amends and combines six pieces of
legislation, including the Rent Control Act, the Landlord and Tenant
Act, the Rental Housing Protection Act, the Municipal Amendment Act,
the Residents' Rights Act, and the Land Lease Statute Law Amendment
Act .
(more)
i
'
The Tenant Protection Act also amends the Building Code Act and the
Planning Act .
Tenant Protection Measures
The rent control guideline remains in place, as does the method for
calculating the guideline. The guideline is 3.0 per cent in 1998.
A landlord must apply to the Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal to obtain
a rent increase greater than the guideline.
- There is a four per cent cap on rent increases greater than the
guideline to cover the cost of capital repairs.
i
- A tenant can get only one rent increase each year.
- A tenant must be given proper notice of a rent increase.
- A tenant can apply for a rent refund for inadequate maintenance.
- A tenant can apply for a rent reduction for reduced services.
- A tenant can apply to challenge illegal rent increases and iljeg'al
extra charges. ..,
- A tenant is protected from arbitrary eviction.
- A tenant must be given proper notice when a tenancy is terminated.
- A tenant maintains a right to privacy.
I
- A landlord is responsible for keeping the premises in good condition.
i
- A landlord is limited to collecting only the last month's rent as a
deposit.
Vacant apartments
I
- A landlord can negotiate a new rent for an apartment, after the tenant
moves out and the apartment becomes vacant.
- When a new tenant moves in,
the new tenant is protected by rent
control, and has all the other protections afforded all other tenants.
Harassment
- An individual convicted of harassing a tenant is subject to a maximum
fine of $10, 000.
- A corporate landlord convicted of harassing a tenant is subject to a
maximum fine of $50, 000.
(more)
- " I
-4-
Maintenance
- Property standards officers have the new power to issue a work order
immediately to a landlord in cases where there is a violation of a
property standard.
- It is now an offence for a landlord to fail to comply with a work
order within a set time frame.
I
- The maximum fine for a landlord who fails to comply with a work order
is increased to $100,000.
Conversions and Renovations
- When major renovations require a tenant to vacate an apartment, the
tenant has the right of first refusal to reoccupy the unit.
- A landlord who converts a rental building to another use must provide
each tenant with three months rent in financial compensation or
relocate each tenant to other suitable accommodation.
- If a landlord converts a rental building to a condominium, the tenants
have lifetime security of tenure and a right of first refusal- to buy
their unit .
— • - --
- Municipalities maintain the ability to have official plan policies
restricting the conversion of a rental building to a condominium.
The Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal
Disputes between landlords and tenants are moved out of the courts and
into a less formal system of adjudication called the Ontario Rental
Housing Tribunal.
I
The tribunal is an independent, quasi-judicial agency with the power
to resolve all disputes about residential tenancies, and landlord and
tenant matters.
i
- A landlord and tenant may be given the option of mediation to reach
their own resolution of a dispute.
- The tribunal consists of members who hear disputes and decide cases,
mediators who assist in resolving disputes, and customer service staff
who provide information to the public.

Dear Mayor Hamre: i,GIPALITY OF CLAP VC-T-10*
�,;.�YO+i's UFFlCE
As you probably know, the residential construction industry in the Greater Toronto Area has been
beset by a series of labour disruptions which may affect homebuyers in your community. As the
strikes may also impact on your building permit and development charges revenues and cash
flows, we wish to take this opportunity to advise you as to the facts of the matter and the status
of the various strikes.
Who's on strike?
o Six trades are on strike. The drywall workers went on strike May 1 st. The trim carpenters-
went on strike May 15th. The concrete& drain, concrete forming and framing carpenters
went on strike June 1 st. The sheet metal workers went on strike June 8th.
What do they want?
o The key trades noted above have rejected final offers of at least 12% over 3 years. In the
case of the drywallers, the final offer was 19.5% minimum over 3 years.
What's the reality?
o By anyone's standards, the above offers are.generous. According to the Ontario Ministry
of Labour, wage settlements in the first quarter of 1998 (public and.private sector)
averaged 1.8%, down from 2.0%throughout 1997. Despite what you may have read in
the media, we are not in a housing boom. "Boom" is a relative term. Relative to the early
to mid `90s, anything would feel like a boom, but relative to the late `80s, we are building
just enough homes to satisfy average long-term demand. Furthermore, there is no
comparison to the late `80s. Volumes are lower, prices are lower, supply is not an issue
and there is no inflation.
How are the strikes impacting homebuyers?
o The homebuyers most directly and severely affected by the strikes are those whose homes
were right at the drywall stage when that strike.began. Very few, if any builders, would
have built seven weeks (and counting) of slack time into their production schedules and so
these buyers have been or will be subject to delayed closings. Builders who have
attempted to exercise their legal right to complete homes using non-union trades have
been prevented from doing so through the intimidation tactics of the unionized workers.
We have numerous reported cases of threats, violence and vandalism. .../2

How will the strikes affect municipalities?
o As noted above, the strikes may impact on your cash flow and revenues from building
permits and development charges. If you are home to any of the hundreds of
manufacturers and suppliers to the industry, the strikes are already leading to layoffs in
your community. The summer employment opportunities for your local students are also
quickly diminishing as builders, manufacturers and suppliers lay off their own staffs.
What is GTHBA doing about the situation?
o Contrary to what you might expect, home builders are not directly"involved in the
negotiations, nor is the GTHBA. The disputes are between the owners of the trade
companies, represented by various contractors associations, and the tradesmen they
employ, who are represented by the unions. The one contract(site labourers)that is
negotiated by the builders(via a third party organization) has been settled forarmw time._-.__
That said, the GTHBA is not prepared to tolerate the current situation any longer and has
retained legal counsel to investigate remedies which may be available to the Association
and its builders. We have also retained Government Policy Consultants to investigate
potential political and/or legislative solutions.
The GTHBA and its individual builder members are committed to their homebuyers. We are -
attempting to do everything we can think of to bring about a speedy resolution of these strikes
and to get our buyers into their new homes as quickly as possible. Any support you could lend !
would be most appreciated.
We hope that this letter is helpful to your understanding of the issues and we would ask that you
copy it to all members of your Council and senior staff to assist them in dealing with any enquiries
they may receive. If you require any other information of us, please do not hesitate to contact
Vince Brescia, our Director of Government Relations, at 416/391-3445 x 305.
Yours sincerely

DATE: May 28, 1998 SCHEDULE 4-1 OF JUNE 2/98
FILE: APPROVED BY C.A.O.
S.R.: 4249-98
MEMO TO: The Chairman and Members of the Executive Committee
FROM: Perry Sisson, Director - Environmental Engineering Services
SUBJECT: ADMINISTRATION OFFICE PROPOSED UPGRADES
In October 1997, the Executive received an information report regarding proposed upgrades to the CLOCA
Administration Office driveways, parking lots, walkways, and landscaping (see attached Staff Report 4191-
97). The improvements were proposed to occur in three phases, with Phase 1 being a geotechnical study,
design of the proposed improvements, removal of sidewalk and curb sections, installations of traffic
barricades, and a new Administration Office sign. The Executive directed staff to initiate Phase 1 of the
project, and these works were completed in the fall of 1997 at a cost slightly less than the $12,000.00 budget.
Phase 2 works were proposed for 1998, and include excavation of the existing driveway,19-aceinent-of-
granular bedding,.installation of concrete curbing, installation of paving stone walkways, and general
landscaping with a budgeted cost of$35,000.00. Staff have requested a cost proposal from the contractor
conducting the work on Whiting Avenue in an attempt to take advantage of lower unit prices for driveway
reconstruction and curbing (walkways and landscaping not included). The proposed price from the contractor
is $39,870.00 plus GST and is considerably more than the budgeted amount. Price checks were provided '
from two other contractors to confirm that the proposed price is reasonable.
The current difficulties with the driveway include traffic flow adjacent to the Conservation Centre, icing of
the initial entrance area in the winter time, and general deterioration of the asphalt. These difficulties can be
overcome by proceeding with pulverizing of the driveway, regrading, curbing, and placement of a granular-
base. Asphalt surfacing of the driveway could be deferred. This will resolve the above noted difficulties and i
allow us to install walkways and complete landscaping for a professional appearance to the entrance. The
driveway will be left in a granular finish, and can easily be paved in the future. The cost for the driveway
work without asphalt finishing and landscaping, can be completed within the $35,000.00 budget.
The Phase 3 work proposed for 1999 included paving of the north and south driveways at a budgeted cost of
$21,000.00. Current proposals for this work support the budgetary figure. If paving of the driveway is
deferred from phase 2 works and added to phase 3, the 1999 budget would increase to approximately
$35,000.00.
I
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Staff Report #4249-98 be received; and,
i
THAT staff be directed to initiate Phase 2 of the Administration Office Upgrade, excluding paving of the
driveway, at a maximum cost of$35,000.00, and that Phase 3 be considered during 1999 budget
deliberations.

.hack round:
le existing driveway and sidewalk system at the CLOCA office is in a state of disrepair aud_.poses._several
safety concerns. Specifically, sidewalks have cracked and heaved to the point of being a potential hazard for
nedestrians, and the driveway configuration allows for incoming traffic to pass through the area where
,LOCA vehicles are attempting to back out of the garages. Additionally, there has been a significant
problem with drainage and icing of the main driveway in the winter months.
le City of`Oshawa will be tendering for the reconstruction of Whiting Avenue in early 1998. CLOCA's
share of the road construction is $18,550.00 to be assessed by the City of Oshawa. There is an opportunity

The attached concept plan has been prepared by staff to address safety issues, maximize the usefulness of

SUBJECT: Lynde Shores Conservation Area - Public Washrooms
i
The Lynde Shores Conservation Area has two public washrooms in the southwest corner of the parking lot
off Victoria Street. These washrooms, approximately 25 years old, are wooden in structure and have been
placed over 1,000 gallon concrete holding tanks.
As part of our annual facility maintenance checkup staff inspected for possible leakage of,the holding tanks.
Test results have confirmed that a high concentration of coliform bacteria is leaking from the tanks into the
adjacent creek system.
Staff are suggesting that the washrooms be decommissioned and not replaced at this time. The need for
washrooms at the Lynde Shores Conservation Area as well as their proper location will be dealt with as part
i
of the Management Plan report to be completed later this year.
RECOMMENDATION.
THAT staff be directed to proceed with the decommissioning of the two public washrooms at the Lynde
Shores Conservation Area, and,
THAT the need to replace the washrooms be addressed through the Management Plan process. �

Dear Head of Council:
The government has been reviewing housing and support services for people with special
needs. As a result,we are pleased to announce two decisions,which will strengrheu:.and_.
enhance community-based services for people with special needs. These decisions will
save municipalities more than$54 million annually in housing costs related to devolution.
Two programs will be impacted:
1. Dedicated Supportive Housing
The province will assign responsibility for administering and funding dedicated
supportive housing to the ministries of Health and Community and Social Services, rather
than transferring it to the municipalities. This will save municipalities approximately $40
million annually province-wide.
The move will streamline the administration of dedicated supportive housing by
providing single-source funding for services and housing. At the same time, it will assist
municipalities by providing them with a more homogeneous social housing portfolio to
administer.
i
"Dedicated supportive housing"projects are social housing projects that are entirely
occupied by tenants who require support services to live independently in the community
and where there is a single provider for the housing and support services. Dedicated
supportive housing providers already have a funding relationship with the Ministry of
Community and Social Services or the Ministry of Health for the support service funding.
Dedicated supportive housing may serve individuals with special needs including:
individuals with developmental disabilities, people with mental illness, frail elderly
individuals, and people with addiction problems.
/2
! 1
Head of Council
This change is retroactive to January 1, 1998. This means that the annual statement of
account related to the local services realignment provided by the Ministry of Finance on
March 30 will be reduced by the appropriate amount in the affected municipalities. This
adjustment will also be made on the invoices municipalities will receive shortly for
services that the province is continuing to deliver on behalf of municipalities during the
transition period.
Funding available to municipalities through the Community Reinvestment Fund for 1998
will not be affected.
We will be announcing shortly a process to develop standards for supportive housing
units that are part of portfolios being devolved to municipalities. You will be hearing
more about this in the next few weeks.
In the meantime, work progresses on the reform of the social housing system. I expect to
receive recommendations within the next few months from the Social Housing
Committee. This government remains committed to simplifying the administration of
social housing while protecting the tenants and members who live in it.
An enclosed chart identifies the costs of dedicated supportive housing in each municipal
billing area. If you have questions about this information, please contact*the ministry's
Regional Housing Office in your area,
2. Dorniciliary Hostels
During its community consultations in nine different municipalities, the provincial Task
Force on Homelessness heard that domiciliary hostels was an area requiring further
review within the context of all housing for individuals with needs.
In response to an early recommendation of the Task Force on Homelessness, the province
will assume major funding responsibility for domiciliary hostels. The province will fund
80 per cent of domiciliary hostel costs, retroactive to January 1, 1998. Municipalities will
be reimbursed for this percentage of 1998 costs at the end of the year. This move will
save municipalities more than$14 million annually.

Head of Council
This decision is consistent with a resolution made at a recent meeting of the Ontario
Municipal Social Services Association that the province restore 80/20 funding until the
domiciliary hostel program can be reviewed as part of a broader review of other housing
programs for individuals with special needs.
Details associated with the implementation of this funding change will be sent to
municipalities later in June.
We are confident that these decisions will simplify and align services at the level where
they make the most sense, and ultimately allow the province to provide a continuum of
housing and support services fox persons with special needs. _
Sincerely, y V
Al each

SOCIAL HOUSING UPDATE
FACTS:
Social Housing Reform
The provincially appointed Social Housing Committee continues to meet to develop
recommendations to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing on social housing reform. Due
to ongoing discussions at the Social Housing Committee, the time lines for the release of the Social
Housing Committee consultation paper has been delayed until mid-July, The deputations to the
Committee originally scheduled for July 8 to July 16th (see AMO FYI 98/018) have been postponed,
and will likely take place in September.
Supportive Housing and Domiciliary Hostels
On June 12'", the Government announced that it will assume approximately$54 million in costs for
supportive housing and domiciliary hostels across Ontario. The Province will transfer about $40
million in dedicated supportive housing costs to the Ministry of Community and Social Services and
the Ministry of Health.This represents approximately 5,400 housing units in 550 dedicated supportive
housing projects which are entirely occupied by tenants who require support services to live in the
community, Previous cost estimates for social housing will be reduced by the appropriate amount
j (retroactive to January 1, 1998) for dedicated supportive housing in affected municipalities,
The Province also announced that it would fund 80% of domiciliary hostels, which the Government
had previously decided would be 100% municipally funded. This decision is expected to result in
municipal savings of approximately$14 million. The Province intends to reimburse municipalities for
the 80% of domiciliary hostel costs for 1998 at the end of the year. Details regarding the
implementation of this funding change will be forwarded to municipalities in late June.
Action:
The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing has written to all Heads of Council to provide additional
details regarding funding changes to dedicated supportive housing and domiciliary hostels.
Municipalities requiring further information are advised to call the Ministry's Regional Housing Office
in their area. i

Dear Mayor Harare:
I am pleased to extend an invitation to your Municipality to bid to host the 2000 Ontario Winter or
Summer Games. Held every two years,the Games are the highest profile multi-sport competition
for amateur athletes in Ontario. The Winter Games traditionally take place in March followed by
I
the Summer Games in August.
The Ontario Games are designed to strengthen sport development,promote the benefits of sport to
youth and local communities, build partnerships, and provide the opportunity for Ontarians to
learn more about themselves.
Attached are the Ontario Summer and Winter Games Bid Guidelines to assist you in formulating
your bid proposal. The 2000 Games are particularly significant,given that they will take place in
the Millennium year. It is anticipated that many communities will want to become involved to
showcase their community in 2000.
The Ontario Games have a significant impact on the economy of the host community and create a
sense of recognition and civic pride among the residents. The Games develop volunteers and
facilities, which leave a legacy of both human and financial resources that enhance the community
long after the closing ceremonies. The 1996 Ontario Summer Games held in London hosted close
to 3,000 athletes, mobilized 2,000 community volunteers and had well over 15,000 spectators
involved in their Games, leaving the city with a financial legacy and new sport opportunities.
Municipalities interested in submitting a bid to host these Games must ensure that their bid is
received by this Ministry on or before September 25, 1998. The Ministry will announce the
r successful host in the Fall of 1998.

Dear Ms. Barrie:
Re: The Lifeblood of Your Community
I am pleased to provide you with the attached brochure entitled the Trucking Industry in Ontario, the Lifeblood
of Your Community. The contents of the brochure illustrate that in this province's expanding modern economy
the old saying, If You Got It, a Truck Brought It, is more relevant than ever before.
I ask that you take the time to carefully review the attached. With the ongoing provincial-municipal
restructuring, we feel it important that you have an accurate understanding of one of your community's most
economically important and significant industries. For example, trucks carry over 90 per cent of the goods
produced and consumed in the province. Furthermore, in an era where trade is the engine that drives the
national and provincial economy, trucks haul 80 per cent of Ontario's trade with the United States.
I ask that you a articular attention to the section
pay p s of the brochure addressing communities. It would be
difficult to imagine life in your community without the service provided by the trucking industry. For most local
businesses there is no viable alternative to trucks. And, in many cases local trucking companies are major
employers in their own right.
j The trucking industry is at times the subject of misconception on a number of fronts. We are attempting to set
the record straight. When addressing environmental concerns, for example, many are not aware of the
significant advances in engine technology and the resulting substantial reduction in emissions, particularly
when compared to other transportation modes. Consider the fact that it would take 8 of today's new,
electronically controlled engines to match the emissions of just one truck of ten year's ago. Similarly, with
respect to road safety, many are not aware that trucks are involved in less that three per cent of the accidents
on the roads, and in the majority of those cases it has been determined that the'truck driver is not responsible
for the cause of the accident.
As more of your attention will be focused on an agenda relating to local infrastructure investment and
maintenance, you will be presented issues pertaining directly to the trucking industry. I am hopeful that the
attached will be helpful and provide you with some additional background and perspectives in future debates
and deliberations. In the meantime, should you have any questions, or require additional information, please
feel free to call me directly.
Sincerely, �_.T,,

Dear Council : -
Re: For Circulation to all Council Members
The enclosed resolution was passed by the Session of the Orono United Church
at its regular meeting on Tuesday, June 2, 1998.
We consider that the promotion of gambling by governments to be an entirely
inappropriate activity. Gambling is exploitive of all participants and destructive
for some: The promotion of gambling on the scale proposed by our governments r
will be highly destabilizing of our economy, family life, charities, law and
order, and major aspects of our social life which governments should be supporting
not undermining. Wherever gambling has become prominent in the life of a
community these negative consequences follow, as Atlantic City and Windsor
both demonstrate. I
The majority of Canadians, when consulted about the establishment of casinos
or the introduction of video lottery terminal; machines or video slot machines,
have overwhelmingly said this is not a development they want to see in their
community. Governments generally seem more addicted to the desirability of
gambling than the general public.
We urge you to pay attention to the opinion of the public at large of which
we are a part.
We look forward to receiving your response.

Honourable Mayors of Canada:
On behalf of the Canadian Immunization Awareness Program(CIAP),promotes on-time
infant and child immunization in Canada,I would like to request that you declare in Council
a National Immunization Week(NM from October 25-November 1, 1998.
The CLAP is comprised of the Canadian Medical Association, the Canadian Nurses
Association,the Canadian Pharmacists Association,the Canadian Paediatric Society, the
Canadian Public Health Association,the College of Family Physicians of Canada the
Council of Chief Medical Officers of Health and Health Canada.
The CLAP would also greatly welcome and appreciate your support of local,provincial and
national initiatives during NIW. We will contact the Federal Minister of Health as well as
the Ministers of Health in all the provinces requesting their support. Our goal is to make
i
NLW a yearly event.
While Canada has a well-deserved reputation for the efficiency and effectiveness of
immunization delivery systems,five to ten percent of Canadian parents are ambivalent with --
regards to immunizing their children and another less than one percent do not have their
children vaccinated at all.
Our challenge is to keep our immunization rates high so that we won't have future
epidemics. Whenever immunization rates drop,diseases come back. In Great Britain, for
example, a drop in pertussis vaccination in 1974 was followed by an epidemic of more than
100,000 cases of pertussis (whopping cough) and 36 deaths in 1978. Both Japan and
Sweden have had similar experiences. And although most vaccine-preventable diseases are
rare in Canada,they are prevalent in other parts of the world. Travellers can carry them
from country to country, and if populations are not protected by vaccination,these diseases
will quickly spread. For example,a major diphtheria epidemic in the former Soviet Union
has led to more than 20 cases of diphtheria in Europe,and two in the U.S.

Another challenge is to eradicate serious vaccine-preventable diseases in Canada. Already,
smallpox has been eliminated,and the Canadian goal is to eliminate indigenous measles by
2005. But there is much to be done to reach that goal: Despite our high vaccination
coverage rates,Canada had the highest rate of measles per capita in the Americas this year,
287 cases in the first six months alone. By contrast,33 countries in Central and South
America reported no cases at all in 1996.
With Sharon,Lois and Brain and Bibi,popular children's entertainers, as celebrity
spokespeople for the CLAP,over the last year,we have had a very successful publicity
campaign which has included national distribution of a promotional poster,radio and print
public service announcements and just recently the production of a television public service
announcement featuring our celebrity spokespeople which we hope will be aired in the
spring of 1998. _ -
Immunization is a critical health issue which requires partnership from all sectors. Children
do not belong to any one sector. They are all our responsibility and they all need o"o—b
protected from harmful diseases that can be life-threatening.
For your information,I have included some CIAP materials which will provide you with
an overview of the program and the National Immunization Week we would like to plan.
I look forward to hearing of your support,and please do not hesitate to contact either
myself or Deborah Gordon-El-Bihbety,Director, CPHA National Projects.

National Immunization Week
1.0 Introduction
Sponsored by the Canadian Immunization Awareness Program(CIAP), National
Immunization Week will be an event of national scope focusing attention on the
health benefits of immunization. The Week will be a special occasion for
community leaders and groups to increase awareness of the health protection and
life saving benefits of immunization. Media alerts and activities,partnerships with
businesses and organizations,education luncheons,school projects, municipal
proclamations and open houses are just some of the projects that will take place
during this week. In addition to activities involving parents,educators and the
media,National Immunization Week will target special initiatives for health care
providers, such as reminders, special events and open houses at local public health
units and hospitals, in-service training seminars, and the production of note pads
and buttons.
Most importantly, the Week will be a collaborative venture drawing upon the -
resources and expertise of the national members CIAP with potential for broader_
partnerships at the national and local levels.
2.0 Campaign Objectives
The overall goal of the campaign will be to enhance immunization awareness and
knowledge among the public and professionals and support positive attitudes.
Specific objectives are:
• Raise awareness
' Mobilize communities
• Raise CIAP profile
• Build partnership and networks
3.0 Campaign Strategy
The campaign strategy will be to create a national campaign that will promote local
involvement. The campaign will reach out to the public and private sectors and
support media partnerships for maximum leverage
4.0 Projects
i
4 . 1 National Immunization Week Kit
Modeled on the"National Infant Immunization Week" kit produced by the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Immunization Program, the
National Immunization Week kit will be the basic information resource for the
week, and during CIAP's continuing,year-long awareness activities. The
Canadian Immunization Awareness Program has obtained permission from the
Centers for Disease Control to reproduce material produced for the U.S. campaign
which will assist in keeping costs down. Where appropriate,of course, the content
will be rewritten to reflect the Canadian immunization situation.
The kit will include the following education and awareness items:
4.1.1 Brochure
The.brochure is in a six-panel format tailored to this year's campaign
4.1.2 Community Guide
This is the basic building block for community organizations planning
immunization activities,offering tips and suggestions for successful special event
planning. Special sections advise on how to work successfully with the media and. . . _.._.
how to mobilize community support. An appendix of resources directs leacierg'to
additional materials.
4. 1.3 Immunization Fact Sheets
This series of fact sheets answers the key questions of parents and health care
providers.
4.1.4 Media Relations Materials
Professionally written Op-Ed articles, a letter requesting editorial su rt and
sample news release give community leaders the tools for successfulmmedia
relations initiatives.
4.1.5 Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule
4.1.6 Immunization Topics for Partners
This flyer offers information on recent developments in immunization, such as new
vaccines and changes in the immunization schedule.
i
4.1.7 Promotion of Radio/Television/Print Public Service Announcements
In addition to the public service announcements included in the kit, a special flyer
will be included to encourage local planners to promote use of the CIAP public
service announcements with local media. The flyer will invite organizers to request
copies of the television and radio PSAs from the CLAP Secretariat and offer these
PSAs to local media with a request for their support and participation in the local
campaign.
1
4.1.8 National, Provincial/Territorial, Local Declarations of National
Immunization Week
Enclosed in the kit will be sample declarations of National Immunization Week and
a promotional flyer advising local organizers on how best to procure declaration of
the week in their communities. The CLAP Secretariat will arrange for declaration of
the week by ministers of health at the national and provincial/territorial levels.
4.1.9 Checklist for Child Health Care Providers on Infant Immunizations
4.1.10 What's Your Excuse: Seven Reasons Parents Give for Not
Taking Children for Their Shots
4.1.11 Tips for Parents/Caregivers About Your Baby's Shots
4.1.12 Childhood Immunization Standards for Health Care Providers
4.1.13 National Immunization Week Activity Report
The Secretariat will compile reports of activities and in subsequent years produce a
newsletter to share successful immunization community development activities
across the country.
4.1.14 Evaluation Form
4.1.15 Order Form
4.2 Promotion of National Immunization Week
Along with materials production,the primary activity of the Canadian Immunization
Awareness Program will be promotion of the Week at the national and local levels.
The CLAP Secretariat and each partner will be knowledgeable in how best to
promote the week to its own constituency.
4.2.1 Mailings
One of the keys to the success of National Immunization Week will be reaching the
individuals in health units, hospitals,community health centres, and clinics whose
job responsibilities include community mobilization and outreach activities for
immunization and health promotion. CPHA has had considerable success in this
- area with Canada Health Day activities undertaken in collaboration with the
Canadian Healthcare Association,and the,CLAP Secretariat can build on this track
record in promoting National Immunization Week.
To assist in building a national database of community contacts as well as
promoting awareness of National Immunization Week,a key element of the
promotional campaign will be a mailing campaign of an information letter, flyer and
reply card inviting community organizers to request the full immunization week kit.
A follow-up second mailing to a list of 2,500 potential participants will help spur
demand and reinforce awareness..
4.2.2 News Release/Public Service Announcements About National
Immunization Week
Another key promotional activity will be development and distribution of a news
release and print public service announcement to a database of more than 2000
health and community newspaper publications. These announcements will promote
awareness of the week and solicit requests for more information and campaign
materials.
4.3 Cross-Canada Launch Event
The CUP Secretariat will stage a national event to launch National Immunization
Week, featuring participation of the national partners,leading political figures such
as the national Minister of Health and other invited guests,to be held
simultaneously with local organization events in their communities. The CIAP
Secretariat will coordinate these simultaneous launch events to officially kick off the
week and serve as a vehicle to attract media coverage. It is expected that primary .
media exposure on the launch will be at the local level,where partners can bdtig
their spokespersons to the fore and highlight local immunization issues and
concerns.
4. 4-.-Media Tour
A cross-Canada media tour by the author of the Canadian Paediatric*Society book,
"Your Child's Best Shot", will contribute positively to awareness of National
Immunization Week and support awareness activities in local communities. The
CIAP Secretariat is available to assist with organizing the tour and scheduling media
appearances on radio and television talk shows where issues of concern to parents
and others will be aired. The spokesperson would begin the tour on the east or
west coast and move from city to city with appearances on major talk shows during
National Immunization Week.
4.5 Outdoor Public Service Campaign -- _
A national,outdoor public service campaign has the potential to deliver the
immunization message efficiently and effectively to a large consumer audience.
Outdoor advertising companies routinely make available unsold space to non-profit
organizations,opening the door for a cost-effective,high profile, national
campaign. The total cost of the campaign to CUP would be production and
posting charges.The budget presented here is based on cost and advertising space
charges provided by MediaCom and Gallop&Gallop--companies that have
expressed an interest in joining CIAP in a partnership on this issue. The campaign
would run for two years, with the possibility for extension.
The following cost/benefit analysis illustrates only part of the potential for
advertising space that could be obtained free of charge.Actual number of postings
and the resulting value of donated space over the two-year life of the program could
be much higher.

Dear Diane,
Arthritis affects more than 4 million Canadians and is responsible for the loss of-I5a--
million in tax revenues and 1.4 billion dollars in lost wages every year. Children and adults
alike are affected by this disease, which can make even the simplest of actions too painful
to perform.
The month of September is Arthritis Month and we are hoping for this year's
campaign to be even more successful than 1997, which brought us over $100,000 from
residential canvassing alone. We still have a long way to go, and we could use some help
in promoting our campaign. We would like to ask the city to fly one of our Bluebird flags
outside your municipal building for the month, holding a flag raising ceremony on the first
of September if possible.
Please contact me at The Arthritis Society(905)434-7221 with your approval. I look
forward to raising the flag with you in September!

Dear Mr. Georgieff
Subject: Township of Clarington
Application to Amend the Durham Regional Official Plan
OPA 97.020
P.Lishman,Ltd.
We have been contacted by our local members with requests to become involved in this planning
process, citing concerns relating to the potential impacts of this specific proposed development on
Wilmot Creek, and its related fisheries habitat.
Some of our members have been involved throughout the planning process, but have felt that an
additional voice and statement of concern by Ontario's largest conservation organization may focus
attention on the extremely sensitive habitat within the Wilmot's drainage area.
In our review of the background information, thpte appears to be some concerns that have been
publicly raised with the proposed development,including the issue of site lines and road safety,the
possible requirement to upgrade the bridge over the creek on Taunton Und and to.provide turning
lanes,and other issues that may be outside of our mandate,but when considered comprehensively,
raise doubts over the real viability of the proposed development on this particular site.
With respect to our specific concerns,the Wilmot Creek currently supports a healthy but fragile
population of cold water trout species,and serves to naturally support a healthy Lake Ontario cold
water fish community through the provision of spawning and nursery habitat.

The subject lands are generally bisected by a tributary to the main branch of the Wilmot,and drainage
from the site,both surface and subsurface,will enter the creek, Both the quality and the quantity of
surface and subsurface water that drains through the subject property are key determinants in the
maintenance of the continued health of the stream ecosystem and the resident and transitory fish
populations dependent on that ecosystem,
Clearly the Provincial Land Use Planning Policy Statement requires that natural heritage features and
area be protected,and that before development is permitted,the proponent is required to demonstrate
that there will be no negative impacts on the natural feature or ecological function, Should the
tributary to the Wilmot on site not be crmsidered to be a"natural heritage feature"on its own, then
surely the subject lands ofthe Official Plan Amendment application must be considered as"adjacent
lands"and the applicable policies of the Provincial Policy Statement should then apply.
Additionally, the Policy Statement requires the protection and enhancement of the quality and=
quantity of ground and surface waters, along with the function of groundwater reoharge/discharge
areas,aquifers, and headwaters.
On this basis, a comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment should be required•of the
proponent, in accordance with Provincial Policy, regardless of an earlier determination, (at the
Township level)that an E.I.S.would#gJ be required on the basis of setback from the Township's
Environmentally Sensitive Arcas mapping,
I
In our opinion,the checks and balances provided in the Township's planning documents to protect
significant features like the Wilmot Creek are not sufficient,and may not meet provincial standards
and requirements.
Until such an Environmental Impact Assessment is recelved,thoroughly reviewed, and accepted,we
would not recommend the submitted amendment for approval,
Additionally,given the potential for other development applications that may be brought forward in
the near future for vacant agricultural lands withip the watershed; it would make good land use
planning sense to comprehensively and scientificaliiy consider the entire watershed in a Watershed
Plan, and determine, on a cumulative basis, how much land within the watershed can be safely
developed without adversely impacting the ecosystem that supports this world class fishery.
In summary,although there are other aspects of the proposed development that may cause Regional j
Council to refuse the amendment,the environmental aspects and potential impacts of the proposal
require much greater analysis than they have currently apparently received in order to protect the
Wilmot Creek ecosystem,and its sensitive fishery. The beat way to accomplish this would be through
a comprehensive watershed plan sponsored by a neutral party,

Dear Editor
Thanks to your headline of Wednesday, June 10 "Town won't pay for property ID signs",
I have a better understanding of the priorities of Clarington Council and staff.
I think that.Clarington Council has made a big mistake by making rural homeowners pay
$25.00 for mandatory numbered signs. The issue has nothing to do with money, but
very much to do with principle. I my view, anything concerning public safety should be
paid for by the municipality.
Perhaps Council feels that only rural residents would benefit from such support, but
anyone visiting a rural home may need the service. In 20 years of residence on Cour-
tice Road north, we have called an ambulance three times for strangers that have
shown up on our doorstep. If comparing dollars spent in one area versus another is the
issue, my question is "How many more "perks" do those living in subdivisions get from
municipal dollars that we never see in rural areas?"
Coincidentally, I happened to read the same day, that a greater number of dollars will
be spent by council supporting organizations within the municipality than it would take to
supply the signs. While I wouldn't want to jeopardize the support of these worthy j
groups by council, the message that I am being sent is that the activities of community
groups are more important than "life and death" in my home.
Sincerely
Pam Callus ;

June 22, `98
Clerk's Office, Clarington. JUN 22 1 1 04 AN '9E
Attached is a petition calling for an ammendent of the bylaw that deals with on
street parking. This petition contains the names of the great majority of residents of the
cul de sac area of John Scott Court, Bowmanville.
We, the residents of John Scott Court, have always made use of the cul de sac area
of the court to park our vehicles and the vehicles of our guests. It is our opinion that as
many as eight vehicles can be safely parked in this area at one time. It is also our
understanding that parking there is a violation of a city bylaw. This bylaw is enforced only
j very rarely at best but all of us would like to continue to use the cul de sac area of the
court in this fashion without fear of a ticket.
Please consider the design of our neighbourhood. We are a court of semi-
detached dwellings, the bulk of which have shared driveways. Now if you assume each
half of a semi to be occupied by a dual income family with at least one child of driving age,
you could reasonably expect three vehicles to be present at each household. This would
make for six vehicles in each shared driveway. Now consider parking for guests. There is
not sufficient room between driveways to allow a vehicle to park against the curb. The
curb, of course, is rounded on our end of the court and would cause any vehicle, small
enough to park there safely, to be in violation of thel5cm from curb bylaw anyway.
Obviously the solution would be to park down the street,where the curbs are not rounded
and then walk a few extra steps but any available parking space is usually taken up by the
residents of that end of the street as their shared driveway problems are the same as ours.
We appreciate the needs of snow removal vehicles and of course would treat the
area the same as any other area where on street parking is allowed and not park there
when snow plows can be expected.
You may want to consider painted lines on the court so that a maximum allowable
number of parked vehicles could be established and enforced, assuming of course that you
look favourably on our petition. If, on the other hand, parking on the court is not to be
allowed we would insist a sign be erected informing our guests that any vehicle parked in
the court is likely to be ticketed. We would also insist the court be regularly patrolled and
the bylaw strictly enforced.
Please forward any questions nr comments to Rod Smith,
ACK. BY n behalf of the residents of John Scott Court,
Thank You.

FINAL DRAFT 98/06/18

NEW SCHOOL FUNDING FORMULA
AND ITS GROWTH IMPLICATIONS FOR GROWTH MUNICIPALITIES
IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA
BACKGROUND
At the April 17°i meeting of the GTA Mayors and Regional Chairs, a resolution was passed
establishing a subcommittee consisting of Mayor Parish of Ajax,Mayor Serjeantson of Halton
Hills, Mayor Jackson of Vaughan and Mayor Robertson of Brampton to review the general issue
of the funding of new schools and school sites and their implications to our municipal planning
process. This subcommittee met on Friday,June 12, 1998, along with various staff
representative from various Boards of Education. What follows is a brief synopsis of what the
committee feels are the main issues to be resolved from a municipal point of view and some
specific recommendations and action steps to be taken to help resolve these issues.
ISSUES
Under the provincial funding formula for school sites and schools, "Growth"Boards will finance 4
the purchase of school sites for green field developments through a revised Education 1
Development Charge. The new Education Development Charge will only be allowed to Growth
I
Boards who have demonstrated an excess of student enrolment over existing capacity. If this
standard is met on a Board-wide basis then those Boards can pass Education Development By-
laws to finance the purchase of school sites only. The provision of new schools and additions to
existing schools are provided by a New Pupil Places Grant included in the total Pupil j
Accommodation Grant formula. This grant is provided by.the provincial government.
In determining a Board's grant for new pupil places the Board must do an inventory and
determine its existing capacity and compare that figure to its current enrolment. The amount of
excess enrolment is multiplied by a per pupil factor to determine the amount to which the Board
is eligible for new pupil places. In determining capacity there is obviously a large incentive on
the Board to deem older schools that are under enroled as surplus to their need and have these
i
I
r
- 2 -
schools closed. If the Board does not do so, then they will carry this capacity on their books and
be eligible for a smaller amount of funding for new schools and additions.
There are obviously many potential problems with determining the amount of excess enrolment
over capacity that a Board has. These problems are particularly significant for growth
municipalities such as those municipalities in the Greater Toronto Area. Presently growth
municipalities are plagued with numerous schools that have an excessive number of portables or
porta packs. The moment new schools are built they are already over capacity and need
I
portables or porta packs. We would not like to see a system of school funding that entrenches
and perpetuates this situation.
I
Growth municipalities have three significant problems with respect to the provision of school
facilities in their communities:
I
1. Providing new school facilities on a timely basis. We are routinely in a situation where
the subdivisions are built and in place for a significant period before the school is built.
This results from a system that does not commit and designate the funds until the homes
are in place and the children are living in the neighbourhood.
I
2. The catch up problems. The growth municipalities already have a situation where
numerous schools are over capacity and have an excessive number of portables. Often
portables are required at new school locations, requiring payment of$50,000 for each
portable which only have a 15-year life span. There should be special provisions in the
new funding formula to allow growth municipalities to catch up and reach an appropriate
level of school facilities without reliance on portables,while at the same time providing
new facilities on an ongoing basis.
i
I
- 3 -
3. Closure of schools in older neighbourhoods. The new formula will cause such closures
to take place. However, we all know that demographics of a neighbourhood change over
time and while a school may be under enroled at the present time, the demographics do
and will shift resulting in potential demand for a school once again in the future. It is
often not appropriate to allow schools to be closed, demolished and the site sold. Further,
it obviously has a very distressing impact on the existing neighbourhood that the schools i
serve.
I
RECOMMENDATIONS
In light of these very significant problems and in light of the fact that the present new pupil
accommodation formula does not address the needs of growth municipalities, it is felt that we
must take a very strong stand and insist that various improvements be made to the system of new
school funding. These recommendations are as follows:
I
1. That the threshold of determining whether a Board has excess enrolment and will
therefore be entitled to New Pupil Place grant be set at 90% of capacity rather than the
proposed 100% of capacity. This will go a long way to address certain problems of
defining capacity. Split grades, special subjects such as French or Music and special i
rooms such as Computer Labs, Science or Tech Rooms are rarely used 100% of the day.
If every room must be fully occupied for the entire day the school will be overcrowded
and will require portables. The definition of capacity and appropriate percentage
utilization are linked inextricably.
2. New Pupil Accommodation Grants should be confirmed, granted and paid in the year
approved. If it is not possible to pay for schools as they are built then at least the School
Boards should receive a guarantee that the Province will fund the payments needed to
amortize the cost of the school. The ability to continue to meet the payments should not
be dependent on the ongoing existence of"surplus"enrolment that is subject to economic
and demographic factors.
- 4 -
3. The formula should be revised to provide for"just in time" schools. Funding for green
field schools should be accelerated so that the schools are ready to open when the
subdivision is substantially completed. This would eliminate the perennial "lag problem"
which results in funding not being provided until the "kids are in place".
4. The funding formula should be revised to allow school boards to retain and mothball
older schools without being penalized by having such older schools included in their
capacity calculations. This would give Growth Boards the freedom to keep older schools
I
if they felt the demographics could change and rejustify the school in the future. Boards
will not be willing to do this if they are penalized for having to include this capacity to
determine their funding eligibility with respect to new pupil places.
5. There should be a special purpose grant for Growth Boards to address the"catch up"
problem so they can take positive steps to reduce overcrowding of existing schools and
reduce the number of portables that are required. It is probably a certainty that portables
cannot be eliminated but there should be special provisions to allow them to be
drastically reduced. There should be an established benchmark and formula for
determining an appropriate level of portables above which special funding would come
into play. For example a certain percentage of students housed in portables would trigger
additional funding to replace portables with permanent accommodation.
it
6. The Planning Act should be amended to clarify the role of municipalities in the provision
of adequate school facilities. Municipalities must have full authority in their planning
processes to deal with the approval or phasing of development in light of the adequate
provision and distribution of educational facilities. Although there are many examples of
good municipal/school board communications, there must be enhanced communication
and a much clearer mutual understanding of pupil accommodation needs. Boards of
Education need to fully communicate details of"adequate provision and distribution of
educational facilities" and municipalities must maintain planning control
i
i
- 5 -
through approval, conditions and/or phasing to ensure that school facilities are provided
in an adequate way. There is a growing consensus that new residential development
i
should not be approved unless the School Boards can provide an assurance that
appropriate school accommodation can be provided.
i
i
7. School boards should be allowed to divide their territorial jurisdiction into growth and
non-growth review areas. This is already permitted under the Development Charge
provisions of Bill 160. Once a Board is determined to be a growth board, it can pass a
Development Charge By-law that applies to a specific area, eg. a local municipality. This
concept should be expanded to include the funding of school facilities as well as school
sites. This would allow greater flexibility within the territorial jurisdiction of a board to
provide more exactly for the particular circumstances of a municipality.
8. There must be representation from the GTA municipalities on the provincial Pupil
Accommodation Grant Review Committee("Capacity"Committee) to ensure full
municipal input and comment on all of the above and other important issues. To date this
process has been proceeding with representation from the Ministry of Education and the
School Boards without any municipal input. UDI has apparently had a great deal of input
into Educational Development Charges and school funding issues generally while
municipalities have had virtually none. This is totally inappropriate and growth
municipalities must be at the table to ensure that their needs are met. This is not simply
an educational issue.
CONCLUSION
As can be seen from the above synopsis, the issue of funding of new schools is a complex one
which has very significant implications for growth municipalities. We have not been fully
informed of the details and implications of this new funding formula and we have not been
involved in the process. However,depending on the final form and details of this funding
1
i
- 6 -
formula, growth municipalities will either be able to deal with the adequate provision of school
facilities or will be confronted with a continually deteriorating situation. We must act
immediately to ensure the interests of our municipalities are protected before final arrangements
are made. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the subcommittee that the GTA Mayors and
Chairs adopt these recommendations and request immediate satisfactory action by the Provincial
Government on these recommendations. It is further the consensus of the subcommittee that if
these recommendations are not acted upon then the GTA Mayors and Chairs must seriously
consider revisiting the whole issue of approving further plans of subdivision in the face of
inadequate provision and distribution of educational facilities.

To the Mayor and Council of the Town of Clarington
I was at the General Purpose and Committee on Monday, June 22, 1998 it to be
interesting and disappointing at the same time as I will try to explain in this letter.
For some unknown reason I missed File no Dev 98-011 PD-79-98 because this is why I
was there I don't now if it was the noise of the people talking going up or down the stairs
as sometimes could not hear the chairperson but I thought I would hear Courtice and
Sandringham mentioned or my name but did not.
I was talking to your worship at the adjournment at noon and pleased you took the time to
j talk with and advised me to put my name down for the June 29 7:00 p.m. meeting of
council which I do not think I can make it as I will be ninety miles at something oilier
function.
I would like to explain why I was at the meeting namely my land at the back of my
property is low and the developer is allowed to raise his land up three to five feet. I do
not think he should legally or otherwise be allowed to do this at my or anyone elses
expense. I was lot before but the land around me was low also with no complaints and
now the water problem will be worse. Secondly I will be land locked at the back of my
property and should have access to it. I tried to buy a strip of land next to me for many
years but was only given permission and told I could go in and out when I wished. I tried
to buy a strip of land just a month before the developer got it and was told he was
keeping a lot for his son and I would have permission to get in my back yard,but I asked
if it would be possible to buy it at my expense and running around, legal work, etc, and
he did not want to do it.
The wife and I do not spend much time at the Courtice address because we have a more
peaceable place to live away from the hustle and bustle up here.
We have a love for this place as this place is where our family was raised and have
friends and relatives here and we might have to come back here as our health decreases
and this place would allow us to be close to health and hospital care as my wife has
but manageable at this time.
These problems that I mentioned are concerns of the wife and I. It seems to be a squeeze
ploy by certain people to make us uncomfortable and we thought maybe your Worship
and Councillors could help and we thank you in advance.
Thanks for your courtesy and reading this letter.
Yours sincerely

Dear Mayor Hamre and Councillors;
I was very pleased to' read in the local press that our Fire
Department would be taking time to visit neighbourhoods explaining
about the importance of fire prevention. This is an excellent idea
and a good use of the staff 's time.
The articles mentioned such topics as smoke detectors and escape
routes, as well as other things. However , one item that I didn't
see mentioned was the importance of having carbon monoxide
detectors in homes that have natural gas furnaces or wood stoves.
Quite a number of homes in our area have had natural gas service
installed for the first time in the last couple of years. So, this
is new territory for a lot of folks.
I realize that strictly speaking this may not be fire prevention.
However , should there be an explosion due to natural gas, our fire
trucks will be called out. A carbon monoxide poisoning will lead to
a medical assist call for our Fire Dept. - so they are involved.
If the staff is asking people questions to ensure that their homes
are secure against fire, they could also ask if people had wood
burning stoves, fireplaces or gas furnaces. If yes, just hand them
a pamphlet about the importance of carbon monoxide detectors. I
have seen pamphlets about the importance of smoke detectors, so I
assume that similar pamphlets exist for carbon monoxide detectors.
I have one other concern. . The articles led us to-believe that the
actual fire trucks' would be in the neighbourhood during the safety
blitzes. . If this is the case , I would hope that the fire trucks
will shut off their engines while the staff are going door to door .
I was quite dismayed to see a fire truck recently pull up in front
of the post office and leave its engine -idling for over 10 minutes
while 2 men got out and delivered bags. • I can appreciate that
while on a fire call the engine must continue to run in order to
operate equipment or in extremely cold weather for diesel engines.-
But I saw no need for this unnecessary pollution by an idling
engine on a very warm day. As well , you get zero miles per
kilometre when an engine is idling so°Its also a; waste of money.
I would like to end this letter on a Positive note by reiterating
my support- for the staff initiative :�of.�U e =Fire Safety programme.

TO : MAYOR AND ALL MEMBERS OF COUNCIL Y) OP
MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON AN 16 3 03 PH '90
WHEREAS: The Clarington Official Plan was approved in 1996 by Durham Regional Council
after several years of public consultation and input,
WHEREAS: All amendments to Clarington's Official Plan must be evaluated in the context of
Protecting the public interest from strictly private interests,
WHEREAS: The Official Plan is supposed to reflect the public's and Council's commitment
to ensure that planning and development will be undertaken in a sustainable
manner and in a context which recognizes and protects the integrity and vitality
of natural systems and processes, including watersheds and agriculatural lands,
WHEREAS: There is an ample amount of industrial and/or commercial serviced land available
j which could accommodate the fur garment manufacturing proposal as described in
the. Lishman application. However, the Lishman application is "the first phase
of what is intended to be a comprehensive redevelopment of the entire holdings
of Hannu T. Halminen in Trust" (Application/Tunney Planning Inc. July 1997 page
2 - available for viewing in the Municipal Planning File) .
WHEREAS: The Lishman application seeks to rezone lands presently designated prime
agricultural area and environmental protection zone in the Clarington O.P,
WHEREAS: The Wilmot Creek is the best coldwater trout habitat in Durham Region. There is
a risk that the Wilmot Creek headwaters will be degraded as a result of the
activities proposed in the Lishman application, and also by the activities
proposed in plans for future development,
WHEREAS: The meaningful employment opportunities for Clarington residents in relation to
this application may be limited, as Paula Lishman International will likely
retain the majority of their employees from their current location in Blackstock,
WHEREAS: The Lishman proposal would necessitate major expenditures to upgrade Taunton
Road, with respect to grades and a bridge, by Durham Region; these upgrades might
j trigger a substantial tax increase for all Durham residents,
WHEREAS: The Lishmans withdrew their previous application from the Township of Scugog in
March 1996 because of costs associated with satisfying the "cholesterol ridden
systems of a paranoiac society", which is how Bill Lishman characterized the
safeguards in the planning system that protect the public interest (see attached
letter) .
WE, therefore petition the Mayor and All Members of Council of the Municipality of Clarington
to defer making any decision on the Official Plan Amendment Application and Rezoning
Application of TUNNEY PLANNING ON BEHALF OF PAULA LISHMAN INTERNATIONAL LIMITED, PART LOT 33,

Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended to Council the following:

Background:
1.0
At the General Purpose and Administration Committee meeting of June 22, 1998 Council
tabled Report CD-31-98 (copy is attachment#1) for Treasury to prepare a report on the
financial implications of the recommendations put forward by the B.I.A. in their
"Proposal Up-date" (attachment#2).
The recommendations by the B.I.A. in their update include a six month freeze on parking
lot charges in two of the Municipal lots and imposing a charge of$2.00 per day on the
Northern lots. The staff proposal in CD-31-98 suggested a two month freeze on the two
southern lots only which Clerk's Department has calculated as a loss in revenue from
central meters and tickets of approximately$5,100 per month or$10,200 in total. The
B.I.A.proposal of$2.00/day would add an additional loss in revenue of approximately
$635/month to bring the total estimated loss to approximately$11,500.
1.2
The total in the Parking Lot Reserve Fund at June 23, 1998 is approximately$425,000
net of the prior year commitments and the anticipated 1998 current budget contribution

for operating costs associated with Parking Enforcement (approximately$75,000
annually).
1.3
The impact of six months of lost revenue of approximately$35,000 would result in the
Reserve Fund not accumulating funds for future uses. If the pilot proposal were to extend
to future years, the tax base would be impacted for any funding of operational costs
associated with parking type/enforcement issues. In addition, the fund would not
accumulate any further revenues for any planned acquisitions.
1.4
The B.I.A. has recommended that the King Street property be acquired for parking. The
Chief Administrative Officer has advised that the Municipality has also been
investigating the potential acquisition of the L.C.B.O.property. The current balance in
the Reserve fund of approximately$425,000 would not have sufficient funds to purchase
these properties. One acquisition,with associated demolition or upgrading costs, could
essentially deplete the existing fund.

Report
At a meeting held on May 29, 1998, the Board of Management of the Bowmanville Business Improvement
Area (BIA)drafted a proposal with respect to parking in the downtown area,which they presented to staff
on June 9. The proposal resulted from ongoing concerns that the downtown area will be unable to
compete with the new mall because of inadequate parking'for.which patrons must pay. The proposal
consisted of seven recommendations, each of which is elaborated on below:
Recommendation#1
That the ticketing process move through the following s�ag6s:
a) Time on the meter-no ticket issued
b) Meter still within the "grace"period-no ticket issued F
C) Time on the meter completely expired, including "grace"period-warning ticket issued
d) Time on the meter completely expired and a warning ticket has been issuea parking ticket issued

Staff Comment ,
Once the employees of the downtown businesses learnithat the parking lot on the south side of Church
Street is free for a 3 hour limit and that enforcement of the lot requires the chalking of tires,they will park
there for the maximum time allowed and then go out and move their vehicles to another spot. In so doing,
they will avoid paying any parking fee at all and use up spaces,which were to be available to patrons of
the downtown area.
Recommendation#4
That more effective and more visible signage be installed to direct visitors to the downtown to the location
of the off-street parking lots.
Staff Comment
This can be easily accomplished. V .
Recommendation#5
That the municipality engage in an aggressive advertising campaign to inform the public of these new
downtown parking strategies, ie, new permanent signage, use of billboards,newspaper display advertising,
etc.
Staff Comment
The municipality does not have the required funds in this year's budget to undertake this advertising
initiative. Council could refer, however, to the funds provided to the BIA from the west Bowmanville
developers for the purpose of promoting the downtown. The amount of this contribution was$10,000 per
year for a period of 10 years.
Recommendations#6 and#7 _.
That Council make it a priority, in 1998 and 1999, to locate 200 additional parking spaces in the downtown
area.
That Council continue to pursue the acquisition of the former Petro-Can site in the Downtown for public
parking.

Staff Recommendations
Staff understands the concern of the downtown businesses with respect to competing with the malls and
their large supply of free parking for their patrons. Unfortunately, the recommendations put forth by the
BIA would cause an administrative nightmare for the parking enforcement officers. In order to alleviate the
concerns of the BIA without creating an unenforceable situation, it is staffs recommendation that parking at
all meters throughout the downtown area, the Division/Church Street Lot and the Silver Street Lot be
declared to be free for the months of July and August 1998. This time frame could be used as a pilot
project for the BIA to determine if paid parking is a deterrent to their patrons.
Should Council agree with this recommendation,the full-time parking officer's duties would be reassigned
(for the months of July and August)within the Sy-law Enforcement Division. This would allow additional
manpower in that area for outstanding investigations to be completed p during the peak summer months.

Staff Comment
Once the employees of the downtown businesses leamIthat the parking lot on the south side of Church
Street is free for a 3 hour limit and that enforcement of the lot requires the chalking of tires, they will park
there for the maximum time allowed and then go out and move their vehicles to another spot. In so doing,
they will avoid paying any parking fee at all and use up spaces,which were to be available to patrons of
the downtown area.
Recommendation#4
That more effective and more visible signage be installed to direct visitors to the downtown to the location
of the off-street parking lots.
Staff Comment
This can be easily accomplished.
Recommendation#5
That the municipality engage in an aggressive advertising campaign to inform the public of these new
downtown parking strategies, ie,new permanent signage,use of billboards,newspaper display advertising;
etc.
Staff Comment .
The municipality does not have the required funds in this year's budget to undertake this advertising
initiative. Council could refer, however, to the funds provided to the BIA from the west Bowmanville
developers for the purpose of promoting the downtown. The amount of this contribution was$10,000 per
year for a period of 10 years.
—Recommendetions#6 and-#7�
That Council make it a priority, in 1998 and 1999, to locate 200 additional parking spaces in the downtown
area.
That Council continue to pursue the acquisition of the former Petro-Can site in the Downtown for public
parking.
Staff Comment
The Property Manager w;l address these two issues following receipt of outstanding documentation.

Staff Recommendations
Staff understands the concern of the downtown businelses with respect to competing with the malls and
their large supply of free parking for their patrons. Unfortunately, the recommendations put forth by the
BIA would cause an administrative nightmare for the parking enforcement officers. In order to alleviate the
concerns of the BIA without creating an unenforceable situation,it is staffs recommendation that parking at
all meters throughout the downtown area,the Division/Church Street Lot and the Silver Street Lot be
declared to be free for the months of July and August 1998. This time frame could be used
project for the BIA to determine if paid parking is a deterrent to their patrons. as a pilot
i
Should Council agree with this recommendation, the full-time parking officer's duties would be reassigned
(for the months of July and August)within the By-!aw Enforcement Division. This would allow additional
manpower in that area for outstanding investigations to be completed during the peak summer months.

HISTORIC DOWNTOWN BOWMANVILLE
BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREA
Proposal Up-date
The Board , having reviewed Staff ' s recommendations with re-
gard to the seven-point proposal on parking , have revised
their position as follows :
a) support is given for the recommendation that parking be
free on the off-street parking lots at Division and
Church Streets and Silver Street , with a three-hour lim-
it , with tickets issued on a complaint basis , to encour-
age parking at these locations by shoppers and those
wishing to do extended business in the Downtown.
b) however, in order to be able to more effectively assess
j the impact of this arrangement of free parking on these
lots , on Municipal revenues and on the amount of abuse
which ultimately may occur , it is felt that the recom-
mended trial period be extend from July 1 , 1998 , to Jan-
uary 1 , 1999 for a six-month trial period , as this time
interval would not only include the summer tourist sea-
son, but also, the normal run up to Christmas .
c) in the interest of ensuring that as much parking as
possible is available in the Downtown, by means of the
continued use of the parking meters , it is felt that
the current practice should remain unchanged until some
mutually agreed on alternative can be found.
d) Yt is still the Board ' s belief that providing the
opportunity to park in the lots . on the north-side of
Church Street at a charge of $2.00 for all-day park-
ing , to be used primarily by employees of the stores
and businesses , and the municipality, has merit ,
and shoo die consi ere
e) the support for more effective and more visible signage
to direct visitors to the Downtown to the location of
the off-street parking lots and an aggressive advertis-
ing campaign to make the public aware of these new park-
strategies , as outlined in the recommendations , is much
appreciated .
f) finally, the efforts of StafP, in the pursuit of the ac-
quisition of the property on King Street East , formerly
the site of a Petro-Can Service Station, for parking,
is greatly appreciated, and, once obtained , will do much
to alleviate the parking problems in the Downtown.

payment of Basic Rent or Additional Rent, and such default remains unremedied
after thirty (30) days following written notice from the Landlord to the Tenant
specifying such default and requiring the Tenant to remedy the default;
(c) If the Tenant fails to observe and perform any other term, covenant, conditions or
obligation under this Lease that is not capable of remedy other than a default in the
payment of Basic Rent or Additional Rent and the Tenant receives written notice
from the Landlord specifying such default;
(d) If the Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors generally,or if the
Tenant is declared bankrupt or insolvent, or if a petition in bankruptcy is filed
against the Tenant, or if the Tenant files an assignment in bankruptcy or takes or
attempts to take the advantage of any legislation for relief of bankrupt or insolvent
debtors, or if a receiver or a receiver and manager is appointed for all or a portion
of the Tenant's property, or if any steps are taken or any action or proceedings are
instituted by the Tenant or by any other party including,without limitation,any court
or governmental body of competent jurisdiction for the dissolution, winding-up or
liquidation of the Tenant or its assets, unless such proceeding be set aside,
discharged or abandoned within fourteen (14) days. For the purposes of this -
Subsection, "Tenant" shall mean the Tenant and any person carrying on business in
or occupying the whole or any part of the Premises;
(e) If, the Tenant makes or attempts to make any bulk sale of any of its assets situated
in the Premises in contravention of the provisions of this Lease, or if any Tenant
sells, disposes, removes or attempts to remove from the Premises a part of its trade
fixtures, furniture, improvements,chattels or goods other than in the normal course
of business so that there would in the event of such sale, disposal or removal be
sufficient trade fixtures,furniture,improvements,chattels or goods of the Tenant on
the Premises subject to distress to satisfy all rent due or accruing hereunder for a
period of at least twelve (12)months; or
(f) �
If the Premises becomes and remains vacant for a period of five(5)consecutive days. j
Upon an Event of Default, the full amount of Basic Rent and Additional Rent then owing

12. Right of Re-Ent
Upon an Event of Default and at the opinion of the Landlord,the Landlord,in addition to
any other remedy or right it may have,and without notice or any form of legal process,may
forthwith re-enter upon and take possession of the Premises without thereby terminating
this Lease and remove and sell the Tenant's goods,chattels, equipment and trade fixtures
therefrom, any rule of law or equity to the contrary notwithstanding. The Landlord may
seize and sell such goods,chattels,equipment and trade fixtures of the Tenant as are in the
Premises and may apply the proceeds thereof to all rent and other payments to which the
Landlord is then entitled under this Lease. Any such sale may be effected in the discretion
of the Landlord by public auction or otherwise,and either in bulk or by individual item,or
partly by one means and party by another, all as the Landlord in its sole discretion may
decide. If any of the Tenant's property is disposed of as provided in this Section,ten(10)

Municipality of Clarington passed the following Resolution ##C-35-
97 :
"THAT the delegation of Ralph Brown be referred to

REPORT NO. : WD-31-97
THAT Mr. Brown be advised of Council' s decision. "
3. 0 REVIEW AND COMMENT
PAGE 2
3 . 1 Introduction
The Municipality of Clarington has approximately 120 turning circles
located within its boundaries . Prior to 1986, municipal standards
varied and Wilde Court was built with a fifteen (15) metre outside
curb radius and no centre island. From 1986 to 1990 the standard
set-a a-I i Been-(-15)--metre outside- curb-radiu-s-with--pro-i-s-l-and---The standard from 1990 to the present is a 13 .5 metre outside curb
radius with no island.
Some municipalities, such as Oshawa, still include islands within
turning circles as part of their construction standards. Such an
approach obviously eliminates the potential for parking in the
centre of turning circles. The trend towards a smaller turning
radius has made it more difficult for large vehicles to negotiate
turns within turning circles. The absence of centre islands permits
additional manoeuvring room for large vehicles, improved snow
storage, and improved traffic movement.
The residents of Wilde Court are asking for a five (5) metre wide
i
painted lane around the court to create a designated travel lane
with a proposed parking area in the centre. Any decision affecting
the parking in Wilde Court could set a precedent for other turning
circles in the municipality.
3 .2 Comments from Various Departments and Agencies
Clerk's Department (By-law)
The by-law enforcement officers have issued tickets in numerous
turning circles throughout the municipality for many years prior to
1995 . Enforcement is often applied on a complaint basis, but is
increased during the winter months to ensure that snow removal
operations can be performed. Staff is not aware of any municipality
r
which permits parking in the centre of a roadway or turning circle.
1215
r• ,.
REPORT NO. : WD-31-97
PAGE 3
The By-law Department is opposed to the proposed parking request,
as it will lead to additional parking complaints .
The parking tickets are issued as per Traffic By-law 91-58, Section
4 (1) (A) , as follows:
"No person shall park or stop any vehicles on any
highway or portion thereof except, as follows :
___--Where--there _-is_-a-curb-on-_the--right -side-of
the travelled portion of the highway, having
regard to the direction such vehicle was
proceeding, with its right front and rear
wheels parallel to and not more than 15 cm
out from such curb. "
Motorists parked in courts are occasionally charged under Section
4 (4) (D) as follows:
"No person shall on any highway stop any vehicles
in such a manner as to interfere with the movement
of traffic or the clearing of snow from the
highways. "
Other violations observed in Wilde Court include:
• Parking within one (1) metre of a driveway;
• Parking in driveways with the vehicle extending beyond the
curb line;
• Angle parking; and
• Parking in excess of the three (3) hour limit .
3 .3 Planning Department
When the draft plan of subdivision including Wilde Court was
approved and eventually constructed, the dwelling units fronting
onto Wilde{ Court were sited in consideration of the regulations
contained in the former Town of Bowmanville Zoning By-law 1587 . A
1216
REPORT NO. : WD-31-97
PAGE 4
minimum of one and one-half (1 .5) parking spaces per dwelling unit
was to be provided.
The Municipality's current Zoning By-law (Comprehensive Zoning By-
i
law 84-63) requires two (2) parking spaces per unit . From the
siting plan of Wilde Court, it would appear that sufficient area
exists to provide this updated minimum of two (2) spaces per each
unit. Consequently, with their longer than average driveways, Wilde
I
-Court -homes-have similar-or higher-part ring availability- as -compared- _
to other courts being approved today.
3 .4 Fire Department
The Fire Department prefers courts with no centre island, but
objects to the parking of vehicles in the centre of the court, as
they want the area for their use in an emergency. Vehicles parked
in the centre of the court could force the larger emergency vehicles
to park back at the throat of the cul-de-sac and impede the fire
crew' s operation. If a centre island curb were in place, the fire
trucks could drive over it in an emergency, but they cannot
manoeuvre around parked cars. The Fire Department is opposed to the
parking request.
3 .5 Public Works
Public Works is opposed to the parking request, with snow clearing
operations being the primary concern. The driving surface of a
court becomes considerably smaller in the winter months due to snow
accumulation extending outwards from the curb. In addition, snow
is plowed around the court and into the centre. The snow is pushed
into a central pile to improve access around the court and, as time
permits, the snow is loaded onto trucks and removed.
When a vehicle parks in the centre of the court it becomes an
obstruction to both the operation of the plow truck and the snow
storage area. When this illegal parking situation occurs, the plow
driver cannot perform his duties within the turning circle and must
continue on with the remainder of his route. This situation
1217
REPORT NO. : WD-31-97
PAGE 5
generates many complaints from the public, stating that their court
was not plowed, but the lack of service is often a direct result of
the illegally parked vehicles .
There are three (3) Public Works' employees sworn in as parking
enforcement officers to assist the By-law Department . It is their
duty to issue tickets to vehicles obstructing any snow clearing
operations, with courts being the most problematic areas .
3 .6 Garbage and Recycling Services
Miller Waste Systems (recycling collection) and Laidlaw Waste
Systems (garbage collection) have difficulty moving around some
courts, and parked vehicles further hamper their duties .
3 .7 Durham Regional Police
Inspector Ross Smith of 16th Division Bowmanville has reservations
about permitting parking in the centre of courts. To permit parking
is contrary to the existing traffic by-law and other by-laws
throughout the Region of Durham. To permit parking is also contrary
to normal practices described within the Highway Traffic Act, which
makes references to parking on the right hand side of the roadway
and not obstructing traffic.
3 .8 Designated Court Parking
Concept
As mentioned above, Staff is opposed to recommending this concept
of on-street parking. Although there is some advantage to be gained
by the proposal, there are numerous disadvantages:
Advantages
• The residents would obtain short term parking for a portion of
the year.
• The gain of eight (8) centre parking spaces minus the loss of
two (2) curb parking spaces, would equal a net gain of six (6)
parking spaces.
t
1218
REPORT NO. : WD-31-97
PAGE 6
Disadvantages
• The Fire Department would lose their preferred parking area in
an emergency, i .e. they can use the empty space or drive over
a curb, but they cannot manoeuvre around parked vehicles .
• The garbage and recycling trucks would have less room to
manoeuvre and would prefer no parked vehicles.
• The confusion for the public if one court has legal parking
and others do not. Public confusion makes it more difficult
_ for By=-Law--Enforcement and the Courts, to enforce by=laws.
• Additional requests would be received. Once one court
receives designated parking, others would likely request it .
The additional requests would result in additional staff time
for review, reports, additional costs associated with
installation, and maintenance costs of signs and pavement
markings.
Residents may object to signing re qu irements which
may seem
extreme, but would be necessary for enforcement.
• Residents would still receive parking tickets for a variety of
reasons, such as parking during the winter season, parking
over three (3) hours, parking on or over the boulevard if a
vehicle extends beyond the curb line.
• It would be difficult to stop the public habit of parking in
I
the winter season if they are permitted to park at other times
of the year.
• Wilde Court is large and would hold eight (8) vehicles, but
standard courts being built today would only hold four (4) or
less.
• Children, who love to play in courts because of the low speed
and volume of traffic, would be playing between parked cars
and could be hidden from a driver' s view.
• The By-law Enforcement Department would receive complaints of
some motorists using spaces on a permanent basis, in excess of
three (3) hours, and preventing the intended temporary use.
• If any residents park in their driveways, but leave the
vehicle protruding into the travel lane, combined with
1219
REPORT NO. : WD-31-97
PAGE 7
vehicles parked in the centre of the turning circle, the
vehicle would interfere with traffic movement.
• Residents backing from driveways would have to watch for
parked vehicles and pedestrians more closely.
• This type of parking is not permitted anywhere else and, if
challenged in court, the by-law or signing could be judged as
invalid.
• Although all residents of Wilde Court signed the petition
I
supporting the proposed parking in their location, other
residents, such as those on Maconnachie Court, have strongly
requested, through a petition, that parking in their court be
prohibited and strictly enforced. In other courts, the
residents may be divided on the issue and a decision would
have to be made in support or against parking within the
turning circle.
4.0 CONCLUSIONS
4 . 1 From the above, it is concluded that, although space exists for
parked vehicles within the centre of turning circles, there are
numerous safety, maintenance, legal, and garbage collection issues
which would make this an ongoing enforcement problem. Every
department or agency contacted had reservations about the request
and would not support it.

When vehicles are parked according to the letter of the law, upon

so that we can use our laneways for other purposes occasionally.
(Re : Home Repairs, Merchandise Deliveries, Duct Cleaning etc . )
Yes, if you want to interpret the law by the letter and
definition of a roadway, it is illegal to park in the center of
the court .
Therefore, wanting to be law abiding citi-zens, we request that
the center of Wilde Co-urt_ be _offic_ially__marke-�_ as a parki-ng area .
This can be done by marking a Traffic Lane meters wide around
the court, which would remove the center from the roadway.
The collection of garbage and recycling will be assisted with
this type of designation as it will save time and the carrying of
containers a further distance .
It is too bad that common sense has not prevailed, and we, as
residents, have had to do something to protect ourselves and our
friends .
Please find attached the signatures of residents that are in
agreeance with this request .

THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON
Memorandum
Mayor D. Hamre
Members of Council
To:
Marie A. Marano, Treasurer
From:
June 25, 1998
Date:
Interest Free Loan Options for B.I.A.'s
Subjec# he following memo could be received by Council at the meeting of June 29, 1998, as an
information item,when considering report WD-40-98.
At the General Purpose and Administration Committee meeting of June 22, 1998, committee
amended item#3 of report WD-40-98 such that a decision would not be made on the funding of
the benches and planters forthe Orono and Newcastle B.I.A.'s until information regarding interest
free loans could be circulated by memo.
I have spoken with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs (Janet Andrews/Mirko Lackoseljac) and they
advise of the following:
Section 220 (12)[copy attached] restricts the B.I.A.from borrowing money, but it
allows Council to approve debt to be incurred beyond the current year.
The Ministry advises that it is a fairly common practice for Municipalities to approve a B.I.A.
project which is then performed by the Municipality in order to avoid the B.I.A. borrowing money.
The B.I.A.then provides in their annual levy, an appropriate amount to repay the value of the
project over an agreed upon term.
In consideration of the above, if Council deems it appropriate to approve the project identified in
report WD-40-98,the Municipality would purchase the planters and benches. Funds could be
provided from the Industrial & Economic Development Reserve Fund, account#5001-4-X
(current balance approximately$130,000). Council may wish to approve a three year
repayment term for the value of the items, with funds returned to the Reserve Fund.
Each project proposed or requested would require Council approval and an appropriate funding
recommendation.
If there are further,questions on the above, please advise.

Dear Mayor Hamre:
Re: Establishment of a Drop Box for Regional Water/Sanitary Sewer Bill
Payments
The Customer Services Section of the Finance Department has-embarked on-a project
to install additional drop box locations at yarious Municipal Buildings throughout
Durham to facilitate the payment of water/sewer bills and the return of'cu§tomer
meter reading cards.
To date,we have arranged to share'a drop box at.the Town of Pickering Municipal
Office and we are currently in discussion with other municipal staff to-establish similar
drop boxes at their municipal buildings.
We have been-in discussion with your Treasurer, Marie Marano and the Municipal
Clerk,Patti Barrie who have offered to share the existing Clarington Municipal drop
box with the.Region. The addition of this new'location will certainly benefit the
.water/sewer customers and the municipality's constituents.in providing this additional --
service.
We would like to.thank your staff for-their co=operation in helping us -establi sh
additional payment options for the Region's customers. The Co-operation of Marie
Marano and Patti Barrie in this.regard is certainly appreciated.-

PROVINCIAL OFFENCES ACT AMENDED; BILL 108 PASSED
i
r - ISSUE: Bitt,108,the Streamlining of Administration of Provincial-Of rices Act, f997was passed by the
Legislature late yesterday. The Bill is expected to receive Loyal Assent shortly.
FACTS:
Bill 108, the Streamlining of Administration of Provincial Offences Act, 1997amends the Provincial Offences
Act(POA)and allows the Government to make agreements with municipalities to undertake the administration
of certain types of provincial offences, Primarily, municipalities can take on the responsibility to prosecute
minor ticket-type offences, such as speeding and parking violations. Administrative functions and court
support services related to prosecutions will also be provided by municipalities.
• - New Revenue Source for Municipalities
• Municipalities will also be able to retain net revenues from fines collected from tickets and prosecutions,
Municipalities will collect gross fine revenue and remit a portion to the Province for the Victim Fine-
Surcharge and a share of the Province's continued operating and administrative costs for the POA,
• Municipalities delivering services under the POA will have the authority to use remaining revenues not
only to support the POA process, but also to address local priorities. POA revenues--estimated at$67
million per year -- represent an important element of the balance between provincial and municipal
funding responsibilities under Who Does What.
w Phased Transfer of POA Duties
• Bill 108 allows for a municipality, or a group of municipalities within a defined area such as a county,
district or region, to enter into an agreement with the Ministry of the Attorney General (MAO) to take on
POA duties. The agreement consists of a Memorandum of Understanding(MOU)outlining provincial and
municipal responsibilities under the Act, and a local side agreement that covers specific arrangements
such as the transfer of staff and assets. Municipalities can decide when to take on these responsibilities
at any time during the two-year implementation period.
Maintenance of Standards of Justice and Rights
• Bill 108 does not change law enforcement procedures or adjudication of provincial offences. The
Province also retains the responsibility for setting standards and monitoring the justice system, The
Government introduced an amendment to ensure that services In French would be maintained at
provincial standards during and after the transfer of POA responsibilities.
�r Information Sessions
• Municipalities can receive more information on the POA transfer project from MAG. The POA Project
staff will provide information and planning sessions In areas where municipalities are ready to assume
POA responsibilities.
STATUS, AMO will advise when the provisions of this Act come into force. AMO is also sponsoring a
workshop session on the Provincial Offences transfer at our August Conference. Watch AMO's MUNICOM
network for updates on the POA Transfer Project.
This information is available AMO's MUNICOM network at www.muncom.com
