A future contract,which will be the subject of a separate request for proposals, will focus on communicating the proposed project to the public. The ideal firm will be able to demonstrate competencies in both areas. Background: The federal government and representatives of the Township of Hope(Ontario) are involved in discussions relating to the potential development of an above-ground storage mound for low-level radioactive waste in Hope Township. These discussions are exploratory in nature. The goal of the discussions is to develop a local solution, at a conceptual level,for managing the area's -- radioactive waste. The wastes and related contaminated soils,which together amount to approximately 1.5 million cubic metres, are located in two waste storage facilities in the communities of Hope Township and Clarington and at various locations in the Town of Port Hope. The wastes were produced at a local refinery that processed uranium ore.. The wastes are radioactive and also contain other non-radioactive contaminants, such as arsenic. Council for the Township of Hope passed a resolution in July 1997 suggesting that discussions begin between the federal government and the community on the prospect that the community would host the area's waste in a long-term above-ground storage mound(s). These discussions began in mid-April 1998. Representatives of Hope Township will report back to Township Council on a recommended approach after the discussions are completed. The Hope Township Ad Hoc Committee on Low-Level Radioactive Waste is interested in obtaining the assistance of an independent Consultant to advise them on the technical and financial aspects of the issue and to work with them in the conceptualization of the proposal- 23313-8-0009 Page 10 Objectives of the Request for Proposal: Provide engineering advice and supporting services to discussions concerning the development of a low-level radioactive waste management facility,including: • advice on the technical requirements and casts of the facility concepts proposed, • advice on other related technical issues pertaining to the concept; and, — • a summary report describing the proposed facility(three size configurations are being studied) at a conceptual level including engineering planning, landscape design, and pictural illustrations of the facility. Statement of Work A) The successful Bidder will be required to advise the Hope Township Ad Hoc Committee on issues associated with the potential redevelopment of the Welcome Waste Management Facility as a Iong-term radioactive waste storage facility. Discussions are proceeding between the Hope Township Ad Hoc Committee and Natural Resources Canada on the potential redevelopment of low-level radioactive waste storage facilities in the Township of Hope. These discussions are oriented toward developing, at a conceptual level, a proposal for a local solution to low-level radioactive waste presently located there and, possibly, in the neighboring communities of Port Hope and Clarington. Key issues to be addressed by the Hope Township Ad Hoc Committee to include, but not limited to: (i) the degree to which the facility can be used for recreational purposes by community _ residents and others.; (ii) the degree to which the facility will require ongoing monitoring/management; (iii) the volume of material to be accommodated by the facility, (iv) the composition of the material to be accommodated by the facility; and, (v) key facility parameters such as the facility type,the general configuration/orientazion of the facility on the preferred site, transportation and access to the site, and other major -- facility and site requirements. The successful Bidder will assist the Ad Hoc Committee in its decision malting by providing - technical advice, including information on facility requirements,best practices, and costs, and by identifying critical issues and alternatives. 23313-8-0009 Page 11 B) The successful Bidder will prepare a report describing the proposed facility (three different volume scenarios)at a conceptual level for presentation to the Hope Township Ad Hoc Committee. The Contractor will seek clarification from the Committee on matters necessary for a description of the proposed facility,at a conceptual level. Based on the recommendation from the Committee,the Contractor will prepare a report describing the proposed facility at a conceptual level. It will include conceptual level engineering and illustrations of the facility on the site for three different volume scenarios_ The report will be prepared in a clear and understandable manner appropriate for its anticipated audiences. The report will be presented to the Committee by the Contractor and revised according to the Committee's comments on the key issues to be addressed. The Committee will advise the consultant of its wishes regarding matters,such as: (i)operation,and oversight;and, (ii)monitoring requirements, and these will be incorporated into the revised report The revised report will be presented to the Committee for any further comments and forwarded to Hope Township Council. 23313-8-0009 Page 12 Deliverables The Contractor will prepare a report describing the proposed facility(three different volume scenarios) in draft form to the Committee and make a formal presentation of the draft. The Contractor will prepare a final report two weeks after the draft report has been presented to the Committee. The Contractor will be expected to participate in at least 6 meetings with the group.

As you are likely aware, Ontario Hydro will face significant challenges as its successor companies form and we prepare for a competitive electricity market. Despite these substantial challenges, as the President and Chief Executive Officer, let me say that we will ensure that environmental management continues to be an important business issue for the organization. Our focus will be on creating shareholder value through improved environmental performance and to make this company known for its environmental commitment and responsibility. Ontario Hydro will continue to meet all environmental laws and voluntary corporate commitments on the emissions of acid and greenhouse gases during the recovery of its nuclear operations. Improvements we have already made in recent years make us one of North America's cleaner fossil operations and even more improvements are under way now to reduce our contribution to smog. We are very proud of the progress the company made in the last year_ Let me share some of the highlights: • An ISO 14001 Environmental Management System registration for the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station, the first such registration for a North American nuciear station. • Certification for the Darlington and Lambton generating stations by the Wildlife Hz-nitat Council's International Accreditation Program in recognition of habitat management - 2 June 29, 1998 plans that were developed for each site. Darlington was also selected among 49 other corporate sites for the Council's"Rookie of the Year" award. • An 86 per cent reduction year-over-year in the volume of material spilled or lost to the environment in 1997. • Recognition by the Recycling Council for recycling 600,000 tonnes of ash and clinker from its coal- and oil-fired generating stations. Darlington also received an award from _ the Council for diverting almost 88 per cent of its conventional waste from landfill. • Approval to replace brass condensers at Pickering and implementing other measures to reduce copper and zinc emissions to the Great Lakes. • Clarification of internal accountability on environmental matters with the Presiders: and CEO responsible for directing the environmental performance of the company. Despite the substantial progress we have made in improving our environmental performance, more work is necessary. I would ask you to read this report and if you have comments or questions, please give Helen Howes, Director, Corporate Environment a call at(416) 592-1658. Sincerely, - Ronald W.

A Notice will be published in the Canada Gazette Part 1, on August 1, inviting interested parties to provide comments on this proposed undertaking within -- 3 0 days after the date of publication. After receiving all representations,the department will review the comments and publish a Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement in the Canada Gazette Part 2. This is the first step in the regulatory process, leading to the eventual introduction of airport zoning regulations, which would preserve surrounding lands for compatibility with a possible future airport. -- A map showing the areas covered by this Notice is enclosed. Also attached for your reference is a copy of the press release related to today's announcement. Once the department begins the process of enacting Airport Zoning Regulations later this year, it will conduct further formal consultations. This will ensure that all relevant information is made available to interested persons and that their interests and concerns receive fair consideration. This action represents prudent long term technical planning and does not, in any way, mean that a decision to proceed with an airport has been made. Any such decision would be subject to a comprehensive environmental review process, substantial public consultation and approvals by appropriate federal, provincial and municipal agencies. Should you require further clarification on this announcement, you are invited to come to an Information Session at the Pickering Site Office located on Sideline 22, north of Regional Road #5,just Nvest of Claremont.

"We don't want to be in a position 25 years from now in which development around the Pickering site precludes the option of another major airport to serve the Greater Toronto Area," said Mr. Collenette."We need to take steps now on behalf of future governments and the community,so that when demand dictates,they will be able to develop a safe and viable airport. This decision does not imply that the federal government has made a commitment to proceed with developing an airport on this site.In fact,any future airport development at Pickering would have to be undertaken by local interests with the approval of the federal government." Under Transport Canada's 1994 National Airports Policy,the federal government will no longer develop or operate airports.A decision to build an airport by a local entity at Pickering would be subject to a comprehensive environmental review,extensive public consultation and approvals by appropriate federal,provincial and municipal agencies at some point after the turn of the - century. In order to protect the Pickering site for future airport development by a local entity, die federal - - government must follow four specific steps.The government of Ontario and the regional governments affected by this decision have been consulted on this process. The fast step is to state the department's intention to officially declare the Pickering Lands as an airport site under the Aeronautics Act through an Order-in-Council(OIC).Publication of this intention in the Canada Gazette I signals the beginning of the second step,which involves a 30-day period during which interested parties may make written representations to the department on the proposed declaration.The third step involves review and assessment of representations received by the department,followed by publication of a final decision with respect to the proposed declaration in the Canada Gazette II. 0 The fourth step in this process requires the federal government to enact federal airport zoning " regulations for the land surrounding the site,which would ensure that future development in the area would be compatible with a potential or future airport. Federal airport zoning regulations limit the height of buildings,structures and objects(including o natural growth)on the regulated lands and protect aircraft from potential hazards. /2 Government Gouvernement Cmacta of Canada du Canada TOWNSHIP OF LX BRIDCE-- . ......

Over the past three years, the government has taken important steps to improve access for people with disabilities. It has taken people with disabilities off the welfare system and created the Ontario Disability Support Program to provide income and employment supports. It has committed over $1 billion a year to school boards specifically for special education. It has improved the standards in the Ontario Building Code to make buildings more accessible to people with disabilities. The 1998 Ontario Budget proposed further steps: a new Workplace Accessibility Tax Incentive to help businesses accommodate people with disabilities; and an expansion to the Retail Sales Tax Rebate for personal use vehicles purchased to transport people with physical disabilities, to include additional family members and non-family care-providers. Although progress has been made in improving access, Ontarians with disabilities continue to face obstacles to participation. As a result, Ontario loses skills. creativity and energy. Allowing people with disabilities to contribute their potential to the social and economic life of the province benefits all of us. Some barriers can be prevented from ever happening. Others can be removed quickly and at little cost. Still others will take more time. Essential to preventing and removing barriers are partnerships: Ontarians x-ith disabilities, communities, business, labour, service providers and governments working together to develop creative approaches. Together we can make a difference. I look forward to receiving your ideas on the questions included in this paper. Thank you for participating in the consultation.

Since purchasing the land,the club has operated outdoor rifle and trap ranges,archery and an indoor pistol range. The club operates under strict regulations guided by Ontario Provincial Police. The club also functions under municipal bylaws and has been a good resident of the municipality. The club has never had a problem other than new residents who decide to move to a rural area and then are distressed by what came before them. Long-time residents are friends of the club, and we have enjoyed a good neighbourly relationship with them_ A month ago,the Union Rod&Gun Club marked its 60th Anniversary with a family celebration at the property.

and WHEREAS Bill 35 would divert payments-in-lieu (PILs) of property taxes from Ontario Hydro and Hydro successor companies to the Province rather than directly to the host municipality; and WHEREAS Pickering has been bracing for the distribution of its PILs throughout the Region of Durham at an estimated cost of 1.7 million and that changes under Bill 35 would see Pickering loose the full amount of almost 5 million dollars; and WHEREAS the loss of a portion of Pickering PILs from Ontario Hydro is devastating and unfair, the full loss of PILs would have the effect of devastating Pickering's budget; and WHEREAS the Government of Ontario, through Bill 35, will widely deregulate the production and distribution of electric power in Ontario but divert efficiency savings to tax revenue as opposed to passing the savings along to consumers in the way of lowered rates; and WHEREAS by the Province maintaining ownership of the companies that succeed Hydro instead of privatizing, local business taxes will be assessed but the revenue will be retained by the Province resulting in a substantial loss of revenue for municipalities that they would have received if privatization occurred; and Y 2 WHEREAS by the Province deciding not to privatize they are implementing what is tantamount to a 6 billion dollar tax increase which is paid for by power consumers, municipalities and the federal government; and WHEREAS deregulation will mean that MEUs will no longer have an assured customer base for supplying electricity and that, as a result, the need will emerge for MEUs to do forecasting, sophisticated purchasing and contract negotiating, dealing with spot markets and future markets and delivering energy services and products which respond to new needs, innovation and developments in technology; and WHEREAS there are currently 276 MEUs and the Government of Ontario has indicated a target of 20 to 100; and WHEREAS the Government of Ontario originally indicated that consolidation would occur voluntarily as a result of market pressure but has subsequently indicated that they might forcefully merge MEUs who refuse to consolidate; and WHEREAS the consolidation of MEUs can mean operating synergy's, elimination of duplication and overlap of capital and human resources, the creation of economies of scale in management, billing, collecting, purchasing, maintenance cost, building requirements, engineering and information systems while increasing the consumer base thus achieving increased market share and certainty; and - WHEREAS MEUs that become too large lose responsiveness and accountability to the communities which they serve; and - WHEREAS if the Corporation of the Town of Pickering does not formally indicate its willingness to consolidate Pickering Hydro with other Durham MEUs and begin discussions to achieve that goal, there is a good chance that the Province of Ontario will forcibly merge the utilities into a much larger, and undesired entity; and WHEREAS Pickering Hydro has been a leader in its efforts to consolidate its operations with neighbouring MEUs; and NOW THEREFORE the Corporation of the Town of Pickering strenuously objects to Bill 35 and its objective to retain revenue from cost savings, local business taxes and PILs from Hydro and Hydro successor companies; and That the Corporation of the Town of Pickering request that AMO review the impact of Bill 35, as it affects all municipalities, and that it take a position and develop an action plan; and 3 THAT the Corporation of the Town of Pickering endorses the action and direction of Pickering Hydro to continue discussions towards consolidation with other Durham MEUs into a more efficient and effective distributor of electric power; and THAT an invitation be extended to John Wiersma, General Manager of Pickering Hydro, to speak to council about the progress of Pickering Hydro in its efforts to effect sensible consolidation of MEUs in Pickering; and THAT this motion be distributed with a copy of the Financial Post article of the June 20-22, 1998 edition to; 1.

Almost since its inception, Durham Region has planned-for, and supported the realization of an:airport in Pickering.- In 1976, the Region included a policyin its first Official Plan ' hich recognized the acquisition of the Pickering Lands by the federal government for a possible future airport (refer to Appendix No.-1-). In 1981, at the direction:of Regional.Council, a presentation was made by the Regional Chair at that time to the Minister of Transport requesting a firm commitment respecting the construction of an airport on the Pickering Lands (refer to-Appendix No: 2). By 1987, Regional Council passed a resolution strongly su-pporting the . development of a general aviation airport on the Pickering Lands, and to - commence a study to-determine the timing of airport construction (refer to _ Appendix No. 3). The new Official Plan for Durham Region (1993) includes policies requesting - senior levels of government to�improve employment opportunities by expediting the construction of an airport on the Pickering Lands. Increasing employment within Durham will greatly assist the Region to meet our economic development objectives, and significantly reduce out-commuting to other parts of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) (refer to Appendix No. 4). - /2 100%Poat Consumer In 1996, in response.to the Southern Ontario Area Airports Study, Regional Council advised the federal government that it supported the immediate steps required to declare and protect the Pickering Lands for an airport. Regional Council also requested the provincial government that, when initiated, the province expedite the completion of the Environmental Assessment process related to the development of an airport. Support for this initiative was also shared by the Region of York and the Greater Toronto-Airports Authority (GTAA) (refer to Appendix No..5)'. While the initial steps to declare and protect the Pickering Lands for an;airport_ are welcomed, the Region of Durham is anxious to proceed with the expeditious development of an airport.

Air transportation is one of the most important systems governments can focus on to help ensure that the GTA will rank with other great regions of the world and significantly assist Durham Region with its economic.development objectives. /3 In conclusion, the Regional Municipality of Durham is in full support of,'and is prepared to assist and facilitate the process of getting the.Pickering Lands planned fot an airport.

By recognizing it in Canada, the Mayors' initiative has attracted amide support outside civic channels. _ . . 12 150 Delhi Street GUELPH ON N1E 6K9 CANADA tel:(519)824-1010 fax: (51� 824-3361 www.homewoodhealth.com a� 2/. . . — Endorsements have been received from the Canadian Mental Health Association, Canadian Psychiatric Association, the Canadian and Ontario Psychological Associations, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario and the Canadian Business and Economic Roundtable on Mental Health, a newly-established network of business and health leaders representing some of Canada's largest corporations and medical, research and educational institutions. We expect further expressions of interest and support from various pans of Canada through the summer and fall. On October 8, 1998,Mayor Cousens will host an assembly of distinguished Canadian medical and business experts—drawn from the Economic Roundtable on Mental Health—to examine, in a public meeting, a topic with potentially dramatic consequences not only for the fight against mental illness, but for the prevention and treatment of other deadly and disabling disorders. We refer to the connection between physical and mental health. And,specifically, on October 8t',to the ties that bind depression and heart disease. Depression: The Heart Of The Matter s The companion effect of depression and heart disease is a new area of scientific inquiry. As such it is picking up steam. And for good reason. Research indicates= • In a heart patient, depression is probably not secondary to the cardiac problem in the outlook for recovery. The effects of depression may,in fact,be as significant as the patient's previous history of heart troubles_ _ • When doctors treat depression, they may well be preventing cardiovascular disease. • Depression may be a predictor of cardiovascular disease arm independently, increase the odds of having a heart attack -- • Depression is an independent factor in the risk of death six months after a heart attack_ Additional research is needed to determine if the treatment of — depression can influence the chances of surviving a heart attack • One possible mechanism triggering a fatal heart attack among depressed heart patients may be abnormalities in the heart rate associated with depression. It is also beieved depression may increase blood clotting. _ _ . /3 3/. . . The Biology of Mental Health A study by Harvard University concludes that depression is both biological and social in origin. It involves the chemistry of the brain. Harvard forecasts that depression will be the leading cause of workdays lost through disability and premature death if present trends hold, inside the next 20 years. Heart disease will be number two. Psychiatric illness, overall, is growing faster than cardiovascular disease as a percentage of the global burden of disease and as research comes to grips with the scale of disability caused by mental disorders,we are also getting a clearer picture of its economic impact in non-medical costs. For example, depression alone is believed to cost business nearly$50 billion a year in the United States. In this country, mental illnesses are estimated to cost Canadians about $8 billion a year in lost productivity—compared to approximately$40 billion for all forms of disease. At the same time, Health Canada says the impact of mental illness has been seriously underestimated. Around the world, 300 million people suffer mental and neurological disorders_ Today, according to research, commissioned by the Centre for Organizational Health at Riverslea, more workers in Canada are reporting being absent from their jobs due to mental anxiety and stress than physical injury or illness. Anxiety disorders account for about one-quarter to one-third of all visits to family doctors. Depression patients suffer as much disability as those of us with high blood pressure, diabetes and arthritis. Harvard has tracked"surging growth"in mental disorders and in those trends_ we see depression reaching deeper into the ranks of the young. The average age for the onset of - the disease is 27 and in 40 per cent of the cases, it is twenty_ Epilogue A11 in all, the recognition of these trends reflect a greater knowledge of mental illness, more diagnosis and demographics. We are getting older. More of us are living into the years of risk for neuropsychiatric disorders. And depression is on the rise worldwide_ Harvard says we face "an unheralded crisis in mental health"_ /4 ti ..l 4/. . . And while comprehensive solutions to contain the rise in psychiatric illness are elusive— given its complexity and the relatively early stage of research concerning, for example, the comorbidity of heart disease and depression—we can, as a society and economy, do a lot to improve its detection and, ultimately, its treatment. The key is knowledge, information and understanding. And the fact is this: depression can be successfully treated in 80 per cent of the cases— but it is neither diagnosed nor treated three quarters of the time. Which is perhaps the greater tragedy which World Mental Health Day and other awareness-building efforts—such as Mental Illness Week in Canada—can help unravel and resolve. At least that is the course which Mayor Cousens and his colleagues across the country have set. And it is the quest which the business-health network known as the — Roundtable on Mental Health—has embarked on_ We invite your comments.

Major PILT-recipient municipalities are being invited to participate. PWGSC will receive briefs from municipalities until August 14, 1998. PWGSC will also receive submissions from federal departments, agencies and Crown corporations. The Minister stated that his objectives were to "improve the predictability of future changes to the amount of PILTs and ensure that future payments continue to be made in a fair and equitable manner". Minister Gagliano confirmed to FCM his intention to proceed subsequently with !egislation incorporating improvements to the PILT Program negotiated previously with FCM, along with any additional measures which might result from the consultations. The federal government's decision to hold national consultations on PILTs is linked to property tax reform in Ontario. FCM obtained assurance from Minister Gagliano on December 9"', 1997, that the federal government will respect changes for 1998 resulting from Ontario's elimination of business occupancy taxes. As the federal govemrment is exempt from business taxes under the Municipal Grants Act, their elimination and consequent increase in commercial property taxes will result in a $100 million increase in PILTs to Ontario municipalities on departmental and Crown corporation properties. This represents a 17°x6 increase nationally in PILTs. The Minister subsequently informed FCM, however, that a further review of the program was planned in light of the significant increase in payments. FCM expressed satisfaction with the decision to respect provincial property tax reforms, but cautioned against a new review process. FCM has urged the Government to end the uncertainty which began with the previous government's ill-advised freeze on PILTs in 1992- 94 which followed similar property tax reform in several other provinces. Recommended Action• FCM urges each member municipality which receives federal PILTs to forward a brief written submission to PWGSC (with copies to their Member(s) of Parliament and FCM) expressing the roliowing: (1)the importance to the municipality of PILTs and of the federal government paying its taxes on the same basis as other property owners; (2) the need for immediate implementation of improvements agreed previously between FCM, the Minister of Public Works and Government Services and the President of the Treasury Board; and (3) the history- on difficulties faced by the municipality in receiving full and timely tax /2 Page 2 - payments on federal properties. In addition, FCM requests fN4',,"` &bd of Council to consider participating in a roundtable meeting with "Minister Gagliano to highlight the municipality's concerns respecting PILTs (see attachments). Background Though the federal government is constitutionally exempt from municipal taxes, it began making PILTs in 1950 following years of persistent representations from FCM. Through -- continuous involvement in the issue since the 1940s, FCM has obtained steady improvements to the PILT Program such that PILTs today approximate taxes which would be paid if the properties were taxable. With 63,000 buildings and parcels of land, the - Government of Canada is the country's largest property owner and taxpayer, paying over $650 million annually to some 2,200 municipalities across Canada (includes payments from Crown corporations). — Having successfully reversed the 1992-94 freeze on payments in4ieu-of taxes imposed by the previous federal government, FCM turned its attention to the longstanding concerns of municipal governments respecting the rules governing these payments. Under the Municipal Grants Act, the Government is able to set its own property values and pay lower property taxes than might otherwise be levied. Federal reviews of property values - frequently led to the retroactive reduction of payments causing financial disruption to municipal governments. A municipality's exclusive recourse is to the Municipal Grants Review Committee, comprising only appointees of the Minister_ Moreover, the Minister was at liberty to ignore its recommendations. There is no formal process through which municipal governments can seek redress in respect to payments from Crown Corporations. As reported previously to members, an historic agreement negotiated among FCM, Public Works and Treasury Board in 1995 (see attachment 3) and approved by ministers in March 1996 provides for officially renaming grants in-lieu-of taxes to payments in-lieu-of taxes, federal recognition that payments in-lieu-of taxes must be based on principles of property taxation; improved assurance of payment amounts; early consultation on disputed properties; greater timeliness of payments; interest on late payments; a fairer appeal process to which Crown Corporations would be subject for the first time; improved certainty of payments on federal properties leased to third parties; payments on certain properties now excluded; and devolution of responsibility for payments to custodian departments such that the fairness and efficiency of payment delivery would not be compromised. Further negotiations on outstanding issues in 1996 led to an agreement in principle in 1997(see attachment 4) on_ federal declarations of leased property as "federal property eligible for payments in-lieu-of taxes"where municipal governments experience unusual difficulty in collecting taxes from federal tenants; payments on property improvements commonly found in the private sector (eg. fencing, paving, sidewalks, building service -1 Page 3 - tunnels, golf course improvements and open-air swimming pools); the termination of payments on federal properties which, because of their type and/or use, would be exempt rom taxation if privately owned (eg. churches and burial grounds); prorated payments in- taxes from Canada Post Corporation and the Royal Canadian Mint; appointments to the Review Committee made in agreement with FCM and on the basis of expertise in assessment and taxation; time limits for each step in the Review Committee process; payments in-lieu-of taxes on properties leased for one year or less; and payments in-lieu- of taxes in cases where federal tenants default on municipal taxes. Along with FCM's success in obtaining and protecting the $500 million per year GST rebate for municipal governments, these agreements represent one of FCM's most important accomplishments in the field of federal-municipal finance. When implemented, the federal government will move closer than ever to the position of ordinary municipal taxpayer, excellent news for all municipal governments. Implementation was delayed by the 1997 federal election and property tax reforms in Ontario. - 30 - For further information contact: James Knight, Executive Director Tel.: (613) 241-5221 Fax (613) 241-7440 E-mail: jknight@fcm.ca.

Since 1995, the ministry has provided $3.5 million to police ser-,'ices to safeguard against traffic violations under the Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE) program. Durham Regional Police Service is a participant in this program. The ministry has also provided funding to promote road safety through the Partners Against Crime Front-line Pol:`zng Crime Prevention Grant program. Under this program, funds have been provided to assiR police services with the purchase of radar guns, roadside breathalizers and controlled tire deflation devices. The ministry is currently reviewing the Partners Against Crime program and any new directions for this grant will be communicated to the public. - In addition to these initiatives, the government recently annourk----�d the establishment of Community Safety Z077es whereby municipalities will be able to mrget specific areas for violations such as speeding.

The introduction of the Legislation establishing a G.T.S.B. is of great concern to this Municipality. We have attended forums conducted by Alan Tonks over the last few months and have repeatedly voiced the following concerns: • The G.T.S.B. will be another level of government removed from the people of the G.T.A. • The additional expense of such an organization as it will evolve, will outweigh any savings obtained • The differing views of rural and urban Municipalities will not be recognized by this board. As evidence, i submit that even though the G.T.A. is Ontario's largest producer of agricultural revenue, it is not even acknowledged or mentioned in Mr. Tonks' report. • The operation of a transportation system which is vital to the G.T.A_ and all of Ontario will not be addressed because the G.T_ Transit reference in the legislation addresses transit only, not the total transportation system. • The ability of the G.T.S.B. to transform itself into some sort of super government - is enabled in the legislation, and as has already been proposed by Mayor Lastman of Toronto, will be taken over and dominated by Toronto Our plea is that you suspend further action on the G.T.S.B_ for at least 2 years to allow the rural municipalities time to restructure. As you will recall, in November of 1997 you were approached by the Rural Mayors of Durham and agreed to their request for such a period of restructuring. In the meantime, the need for development of the G.T.A. transportation system -- should be addressed by the Province in setting up and participating in a G.T.A. transportation authority similar to that which has been implemented in Vancouver- &lf'-/ There must be Provincial leadership and participation in such an authority. I am enclosing 3 pieces of information which may be of help: i. Backgrounder on Vancouver Transportation Authority ii. OMAFRA publication on Agriculture in the G.T.A. iii. My letter of June 4, 1998 to M.P.P. John O'Toole There is no crisis in the G.T.A. which requires hasty actions except the need for co-ordination, leadership and planning for Transportation in the next decade.

Banning of Wine and Spirit Containers . from the Blue Box Program and Landfill Sites (City Council on July 8, 9 and 10, 1998, amended this Clause, by: (1) deleting from Recommendations Nos (1) and(2) of the Works and Utilities Committee the date "September 1, 1998"and inserting in lieu thereof the date "Janumy 1, 1999'; as the date the By-law shall come into force and the implementation of the ban shall come into — effect; (2) amending Recommendation No. (3)of the Works and Utilities Committee to provide that the communications strategy begin in September, 1998, or sooner if staff are ready, (3) adding thereto the following: "It is further recommended that: (a) the Afayor be requested w write to the Premier of Ontario and the Minister of the Environment requesting that the Province of Ontario implement a depositlreturn system for the Liquor Control Board of Ontario; (b) the Chair of the Works and Utilities Committee and the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services be requested to meet with the Minister of Finance to discuss the -- implementation of a deposit/return system by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, the costs of such system to the Province of Ontario and the cost to recycle glass through the Blue Box Program, and report thereon to the Works and Utilities Committee in September, 1998; (c) the City Solicitor be requested to submit a report to the Works and Utilities Committee on: (i) amendng the licensing fee for vendors of alcoholic beverages to ensure full cost recovery of the City's costs in relation to the servicing of that licence, including enforcement and related operational costs,and ' (ii) initiating a licence denial system for non-payment of costs to the City,and (d) this report be forwarded to all municipalities in Ontario with populations over 50,000.') 2 The Works and Utilities Committee recommends that: (1) Council reaffirm its decision to remove wine and spirit containers from the Blue Box program effective September 1, 1998; (2) the by-law appended to the report dated June 15, 1998, from the Interim Functional Lead for Solid Waste Management be adopted, subject to deleting the date of"1st day of January, 1999" as the date the by-law shall come into force and inserting in lieu thereof"1st day of September, 1998"; (3) a communications strategy as outlined in the communication dated June 17, 1998, from Councillor Judy Sgro, to encourage consumers to return wine and spirit containers to the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO), be adopted; and reports, for the _ information of Council, having requested the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services to submit a report directly to Council for its meeting on July 8, 1998, on the cost and details of such a communications strategy; - (4) the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services be requested to contact the LCBO for locations on their property where the City can station bulk lift containers for the — recycling of wine and spirit bottles: (5) if the LCBO refuses to co-operate,the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services be requested to report to the Committee on locations near LCBO outlets where recycling containers for wine and spirit bottles may be stationed; (6) the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services be requested to report to the next meeting of the Committee, scheduled to be held on July 15, 1998, on a plan to implement the bulk lift collection of wine and spirit containers at or near LCBO -- outlets; (7) once the foregoing is implemented, the City of Toronto bill the LCBO for the cost of _ this service effective September 1, 1998; and (8) Brewers Retail be requested to assist in receiving wine and spirit containers at their _ outlets. The Works and Utilities Committee reports,for the information of Council, having further requested _ the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services to submit a report to the next meeting of the Committee on. (i) removing coloured glass from the Blue Box program, and how such policy could be — incorporated into a communications program; and (ii) methods of improving collection of all materials at curbside. The Works and Utilities Committee submits thr following report (June 15, 1998) from the Interim Functional Lead for Solid Waste Management: _ Purpose: To provide information on issues related to the management of beverage containers. 3 Funding Sources Financial Implications and Impact Statement: There are no financial implications at this time as a result of this report. Recommendation: It is recommended that the communications program to encourage Toronto residents to return wine and spirit containers to the point of purchase be deferred until such time as a deposit/return system for wine and spirit containers is operational. Council Reference/Background/MgM: City Council, at its Special Meeting held on April 28 and May 1, 1998, adopted Clause No_ 1 of Report No. 3A of The Works and Utilities Committee, as amended, and in doing so directed that all Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) containers be banned from the City's Blue Box program and landfill sites effective September 1, 1998. City Council also requested the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services to: (1) (a) develop a communications program to have homeowners return their wine and spirit containers to the point of purchase; (b) bring forth a by-law to require a deposit/return system in the City of Toronto for all other beverage containers; (2) submit to the next meeting of the Works and Utilities Committee a draft by-law for a deposit/return system for LCBO containers sold in the City of Toronto, retaining outside counsel, if necessary; (3) submit a report on: (a) establishing of a depot system which would allow residents to return wine bottles, soft drink containers, etc., on a voluntary basis for recycling; and (b) the use of bottle return machines that provide a cash refiand and the possibility of having the program sponsored by non-profit volunteer groups; and -(4) submit a report on the costs and benefits of keeping aluminum cans as part of the Blue Box system, such report to include: (a) employment in the aluminum recycling industry, (b) environmental implications; and (c) potential loss of municipal revenue. 4 Comments and Discussion: Wine and Spirit Container Ban: — The issue of banning wine and spirit containers from the municipal waste management system is dealt with in a separate report on this agenda from the City Solicitor. Draft Deposit/Retum By-law: A draft deposit/retum by-law for wine and spirit containers, effective January 1, 1999, has been prepared by the City Solicitor and is attached to this report. The by-law simply requires vendors of wine and spirit containers to implement a deposit/retum system as a condition of their business licences. The legal issues related to this by-law are discussed in a report from the City Solicitor entitled"Implementation of a Deposit Return System for Wine and Spirit Containers", which was before City Council at its Special Meeting on April 28 and May 1, 1998. The drafting of a deposit/retum by-law for other beverage containers, which is a more complex _ undertaking, has been deferred pending the outcome of the wine and spirit container initiative. Communications Program for Wine and Spirit Containers: Any proposed communications program would need to advise residents that Council supports the return of used alcoholic beverage containers to the point of purchase, and encourage residents to — comply with City Council's policy regarding this matter. Ontario Regulation 101/94 under the Environmental Protection Act entitled "Recycling and — Composting of Municipal Waste" requires all municipalities with a population over 5,000 to operate a Blue Box waste management system which includes aluminum, steel, glass and plastic beverage containers" Section 7(2)(g) of Regulation 101/94 specifically states that "the Blue Box waste management system must include the provision of information to users and potential users of the Blue Box waste management system Ci) describing the performance of the system, and ('ii) encouraging effective source separation of Blue Box waste and full use of the Blue Box waste management system." The City Solicitor advises that implementing a communications campaign to encourage residents to return wine and spirit containers to the point of purchase would likely be considered a contravention of Section 7(2)(g) of Regulation 101/94. However, once a deposit/return system is in effect for wine and spirit containers, it might be argued that such a communication campaign was complementary to the operation of the deposit/retum system and to the management of waste in general- It is therefore recommended that the communications program encouraging residents to return their wine and spirit containers to the point of purchase be deferred until a depositlreturn system for these containers is operational. 5 Establishment of a Depot for the Voluntary- ot S Return of Beverage Containers: The establishment of voluntary container recycling depots without a deposit/return to result in much lower recovery rates than under a deposit/return system. Unless depots are located system is likely conveniently, people may travel additional distances, resulting in additional vehicle emissionand resource use. sand In order to evaluate the potential for a return to depot system without deposit/return for and non-alcoholic beverage containers, three options have been reviewed and are discussed coholic below. (a) Depots Located at All City Transfer Stations: Depots are currently located at two transfer stations to recover a variety of mates su ch as are generally located in industrial areas in tires, polystyrene, scrap metal and Blue Box materials. The seven transf al er stations ri al the The inconvenience of the City in low participation. Therefore, this depot system is not recommended. would likely result (b) Depots Located at City-Owned Sites: In the past, collection of recyclable material through recycling domes has resulted in levels of contamination and the depositing of non-recyclable waste around domes. Collecting ng containers through domes would also result in si domes and a net operating cost of approximately cant capital tonne it service Purchase the Due to contamination concerns and the cost, the use . Ci Ce the domes. system is not recommended. tY-owned locations for a depot — (c) Depots at Retail Outlets: There are two alternatives to recover containers from residents at retail outlets: un-staffed depots and bottle return machines. affed The establishment of un-staffed depots at retail outlets, strip plazas, and shopping centres would minimize environmental impacts and maximize convenience of return material PP g tres recovery. However, the City Solicitor has advised that the City does not have the authority to require the establishment of depots in existing retail outlets, stri 1 centres. Therefore, approval would be required by the retailers to allow depot to be pea ed on their premises (e.g., parking lots). placed Bottle return machines that provide a cash refund, or reverse vending machines ar e another option as it may be possible to secure agreements with owners of some retail establishments _ to locate a Iimited number of these machines cn their premises at no charge_ However, similar to un-staffed depots, the retailers may have some Concerns, such as spacial limitation about placing the machines in their stores s, . Reverse vending machines cost approximately 515,000.00 to $20,000.00 each and are expensive to maintain. It is estimated t cap costs of $20 million and operating costs of approximate) $500.00 � required to operate a comprehensive reverse vending machine program forter Ton o odd be 6 In terms of the possibility of having the program operated by non-profit volunteer group, given the service, maintenance, and leasing activities involved in establishing a system of bottle return machines with a cash refund, it is highly unlikely that volunteer associations could be found for the management of this system. Due to the high costs and complexity of establishing a machine container return system, such _ a system is not recommended at this tune. Costs and Benefits of Keeping Aluminum Cans as Part of the Blue Box System: - Approximately 2,000 tonnes of aluminum cans are recovered annually under the City's current recycling program and through private collection from the commercial sector. It is estimated that - another 4,000 tonnes could be recovered annually through a deposit/retum system, assuming a recovery rate of approximately 85 percent. This would result in a total estimated recovery of 6,000 tonnes of aluminum cans annually under a deposit/retum system. — (a) Employment in the Aluminum Recycling Industry: Retaining aluminum cans as part of the Blue Box program, as opposed to having them as part of an overall container deposit/retum system, will not have any significant impact on employment in the aluminum recycling industry. Aluminum can sheet recycling mills, which are located in the United States, would receive sorted, baled aluminum cans under either a deposit system or the Blue Box program. There would be the estimated 4,000 tonne increase in quantities of aluminum cans recovered from the Toronto municipal waste stream under a deposit system_ This would represent a nominal increase for these large aluminum recycling mills. (b) Envi onmental Implications: Retaining aluminum cans in the Blue Box system would result in the continued disposal of approximately 4,000 tonnes of aluminum cans, which would otherwise be recovered under a deposit/return program. The recovery of this recyclable aluminum would result in reductions of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions if the recycled aluminum replaced primary aluminum production. (c) Potential Loss of Municipal Revenue: _ In 1997,aluminum beverage cans generated$2.3 million of the City's total Blue Box material revenue of $12.5 million,including fibre material. Removal of aluminum cans from the Blue Box would therefore result in a loss of revenue of$2.3 million. This would be partially off- set by savings resulting from the redesign of collection and processing systems to reflect the reduced volumes of material under deposit/return. Conclusions: Based on a review of current Provincial regulations, it is recommended that the communications program to encourage Toronto residents to return wine and spirit containers to the point of purchase be deferred until such time as a deposit/return system for wine and spirit containers is in effect. 7 Contact Name and Telephone Number: _ John Warren, Director of Operations and Sanitation Toronto Community Council Area Phone: (416) 392-1846; Fax: (416) 392-0396 E-Mail:jwarren2 @toronto.city.on.ca.7.

MEL LASTMAN, NOVINA WONG, Mayor City Clerk (Corporate Seal) The Works and Utilities Committee also submits the following communication (June 17, 1998) from Councillor Judy Sgro, North York-Humber: Staff recommendation to defer the communications plan for the LCBO take back program until a deposit/return plan is operational will delay pressure on the Provincial Government to implement a deposit/return system for LCBO containers. Notwithstanding the solicitor's cautious interpretation, I believe the public will support an aggressive communications plan to take the environmentally and economically superior approach to managing alcoholic beverage containers in the waste stream- Furthermore, I think the Province would be foolhardy to take the issue before the courts. Therefore, I would ask that: (1) the Committee consider implementing the following draft communications plan; (2) staff be asked to cost out the various components of the plan for the next Council meeting; and (3) materials be vetted through a communications sub-committee of the Works and Utilities Committee. Suggested Components of a Communications Plan to Get Empty LCBO Containers Returned to Retail Store: (1) Prod-.1ction of Information Flyers: For inclusion in municipal mailouts, such as hydro, water, tax or other direct - communications around critical issues, such as CVA implementation; 10 to be left at curbside in blue boxes when LCBO containers are found in the Blue Box; to be left at various locations, municipal buildings, community centres, welfare office; to be left at retail outlets- possibly including the Beer Stores and the LCBO stores, if permission is granted; and to be handed out at Councillors' Environment Days. (2) Creation of Advertising Posters: For prominent locations, bus shelters, municipal buildings, billboards, etc. (3) Waste Watch Newspaper: Prepare an information piece for the upcoming issue. (4) Use of the Waste Management Advertising Budget: Either replace one of the scheduled advertising campaigns, or add an additional one to be inserted in major newspapers and community papers. (5) Councillors' Newsletters: — Encourage Councillors to promote the issue in their up-coming newsletters. (6) General Media: Generate on-air, written or other news stories that draw LCBO and government — officials into the discussion, and give the issue prominence. (7) The City of Toronto Web Site: - Add an interactive segment on the home page that gives prominence to the bottle return program. (8) That CSR: Corporations Supporting Recycling be asked to provide funding from their communications budget to support this major waste diversion and recycling project. Your support for these recommendations would be very much appreciated. The Works and Utilities Committee also submits the following report (June 1, 1998) from the City Solicitor: Purpose: The purpose of this report is to comment on the legal implications of the Council direction as set out in the Council Reference section of this report. 11 Funding Sources Financial Implications and Impact Statement: Not applicable. Recommendation: It is recommended that this report be received for information and forwarded to City Council for its information and further direction on the banning of Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) containers from the Blue Box program given the conclusion of this report. Council ReferenceBackgound/History: City Council, at its Special Meeting held on April 28 and May 1, 1998, adopted Clause No. 1 of _ Report No. 3A of The Works and Utilities Committee, as amended, and i11 doing so directed that all LCBO containers be banned from the City's Blue Box program and landfill sites effective September 1, 1998. Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification: Pursuant to Ontario Regulation 101/94 made under the Environmental Protection Act(the"EPA"), a local municipality with a population of at least five thousand must establish, operate and maintain a blue box_ waste management system. The source separated blue box waste must be source separated from other kinds of waste collected from residential sources and roust contain at least the categories of waste set out in Schedule 1 to the Regulation. The categories of waste set out in Schedule 1 to the Regulation include glass bottles and jars for food or beverages. Accordingly, any - banning of LCBO containers would be a contravention of the Regulation. We note that City Council had before it a communication from the firm of Outerbridge Miller -- indicating that in the opinion of Mr. Robert Power, deposit-return containers (defined presumably by City policy) are not a "waste" and that the municipality could opt out of collecting the material despite provincial regulations. This opinion was based upon a recent case,Philip Enterprises Inc. - v. Ontario (Ministry of Environment and Energy). The Philip case dealt with the issue of whether chop-line residue was a"waste" within the meaning - of the EPA and therefore subject to the process of requiring certificates of approval. The issue was dealt with in the context that until 1994 chop-line residue was a recyclable material defined in the EPA but then removed. The Court therefore examined the meaning of"waste" in the absence of any specific regulation addressing the residue. The Court held that the residue was not a waste by applying a dictionary meaning referencing a lack of value to the term. Notwithstanding the outcome of this case, the Court appeared to recognize that the Ministry could designate certain types of materials, including the subject residue, as waste for the purposes of regulation under the EPA. In fact, the Ministry has moved since the decision to designate such resid!ie as a waste. 12 In a similar fashion it is clear that the Legislature has allowed for regulation making authority to mandate blue box systems. Clause 176(4)0)of the EPA allows for a regulation: 0) for the purpose of furthering the diversion of waste from final disposal, requiring municipalities and such other persons as may be specified in the regulation to establish such waste disposal sites or waste management systems as may be specified in the regulation. In accordance with this regulation making authority, the Minister has provided for a definition of "blue box waste" and extensive regulations pertaining to the management of such waste, including the mandatory acceptance from residential sources_ Conclusions: In our opinion and contrary to the opinion expressed by Mr. Power in his communication, dated April 20, 1998, which was before City Council, municipalities cannot ban LCBO containers from the Blue Box program without contravening provincial regulation. _ Contact Name: J.

The Works and Utilities Committee reports, for the information of Council, having also had before it during consideration of the foregoing matter the following communications: — (1) (June 16, 1998) from Mr. W. Douglas Symington, Director - Public Affairs, Consumers Packaging Inc., advising that Consumers Glass opposes the proposal to remove wine and spirit glass containers from the Blue Box; and requesting that City staff be directed to examine options to drive costs out of the existing recycling system; and (2) (June 16, 1998)from Mr.Kenneth J.Mulhall,Vice President, Environmental Affairs,Loblaw Companies Limited, advising, on behalf of the various Ontario grocery retailers of Loblaw Companies Limited, which include Loblaws, Zehrs, Fortinos, Your Independent Grocer, valu-mart and No Frills,that Loblaw Companies Lirnited does not support the City's plan to impose an illegal ban on wine and spirit bottles from the Blue Box and landfill. The following persons appeared before the Works and Utilities Committee in connection with the foregoing matter: f - Mr. Joseph P. Hruska, Vice-President, Municipal Development, CSR: Corporations Supporting Recycling, and filed a submission with respect thereto; - Mr. Gord Perks, Toronto Environmental Alliance; - Mr. Usman Valiante, General Science Works; - Ms- Linda Lynch, Environment Watch; and - Councillor Judy Sgro, North York Humber. 13 (City Council on July 8, 9 and 10, 1998, had before it, during consideration of the foregoing Clause, the following report(July 3, 1998)from the General Manager of Solid Waste Management Services: Purpose: To provide cost and details related to a communications strategy to encourage residents to return wine and liquor bottles to point of purchase. -- Funding;Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement. Funding for the communications strategy outlined in this report for 1998 can be made available from existing communications funds for Blue Box Program promotion. Total funds of$115,000.00 would be spent from operating account number O-WD600-U67006. Recommendation: It is recommended that this report be received for information. Council Reference Backgrot�nd/History: The Works and Utilities Committee on June 17, 1998, requested the Commissioner to provide the cost and details of Councillor Judy Sgro's communications program in the form of a report directly to Council for its meeting on July 8, 1998. Comments andlor Discussion andor Justification: Recycling liquor and wine bottles in the blue box is a firmly established and entrenched practice for the public. If a "soft" ban is implemented on September 1, 1998, whereby the City will still collect liquor and wine bottles placed in blue boxes while encouraging residents to return them to Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) outlets, we recommend a moderate communications cwnpaign. When the ban is fully enforced, and the City no longer collects liquor and wine bottles, a more substantial public education campaign will be required An initiative of this type requires its major communications to take place at the time when the -- required behavioural change is greatest. While some residents will begin to bring bottles back to LCBO outlets, most residents will continue to place their bottles in their blue boxes as long as that option is available to them. When liquor and wine bottles are no longer collected, it will represent -- a significant change to the Blue Box Program and a substantial change for the behaviour of residents- Therefore, the major public education thrust(a S250,000.00-$300,000.00 campaign) would be reserved for that time. Subject to this occurring in 1999 and the direction to proceed, speck finds would have to be included in the preparation of our 1999 operating budget estimate. The initial communications campaign must be built around a simple and straightforward message which explains the ban, encourages residents to return bottles to the LCBO, reassures that bottles will still be collected for now and supports the continued viability of the Blue Box Recycling Program_ 14 A number of barriers to a successful public education campaign must be addressed prior to implementation. The LCBO's communications plans on this issue must be considered There must be a visible, workable program in place at LCBO outlets to accept bottles or consumers will not return them. The bottles must be kept out of landfill, or the City will face a public backlash since people are being asked to go to extra effort. There must be recognition that a majority of the public will not return the bottles until a full ban is enforced and will simply continue to place them in their blue boxes The political situation that leads to the ban is not widely understood by the public, nor can it be easily communicated Many residents may not care about the rationale for the change and will only want to know how the changes affect them. For this reason, the public education message must be _ kept extremely simple. The proposed communications program would include the following (1) focus group research -to determine public attitudes and willingness to change behaviours This is crucial in order to craft a plan based on the existing reality; (2) a press conference and media relations-to generate media coverage of the issue and where more complex background information would be supplied, (3) an information brochure - for distribution at curbside, municipal offices, displays, — Environment Days, libraries, civic centres and LCBO outlets; (4) advertising- a-small campaign(newspapers),to explain the-ban and the actions residents should take (also perhaps transit shelters depending on timing); (5) preparing telephone answering staff for influx of calls; - (6) Waste Watch newsletter article- delivered to all homes and apartments in Toronto; (7) Councillors'newsletters-ready-to-use articles and graphics; (8) ethno-racial outreach- to reach residents in languages other than English; (9) updated Web Site information; (10) presentations- to schools, community groups, etc.; (11) correcting all existing publications and displays by developing stickers and/or stamps for temporary use; and (12) collection calendars with updated information and messages. Six months after the ban, we propose to conduct a public attitude survey to find out what percentage of the public is aware of the liquor and wine bottle ban and what percentage of the public is returning bottles to the LCBO. Using the results of the public attitude survey, a full public education program would be developed to support the full implementation of the ban. _ 15 Timing and Budget: Subject to Council's direction and the necessity for public attitude research prior to the development of key messages, it will be d zcult to produce and prepare all of these materials and activities by the proposed September 1,1998 launch date. Some of the elements could be in place for the launch with the others following throughout the fall. Some of the major activities, however, such as media relations and advertising, will be less effective with a September 1, 1998 launch date, due to inadequate lead time and,or back-to-school conflicts Specific activities, timing and budget are indicated in the table below: Tactic Timing Cost Focus Groups July $5,000 Press Conference/media Week of August 24 or 52,500 relations September 7 Brochure September S20,000 Advertisin ( rint mid-Sept-October S60,000 Train telephone staff August ne igi'ble Waste Watch October budgeted Councillors'Newsletters- - through all- - ne li 'ble Ethno-racial outreach September-November S2,500 Web Site August S2,000 Presentations Se tember-December ne gligible Stickers/Stamps September-November estimated S3,000 Correct Publications and (some funds budgeted displays or reprints) Collection Calendars November budgeted Evaluation:Public February S20,000 _ Attitude survey Prepare fill Public TBD S250,000-$300,000 Education Program (not included in total Budget total. 5115,000.00 Conclusions.

In addition, there has been considerable discussion and debate related to the funding of GO Transit and the formula that has been put in place by the Provincial Government. At the June 22nd GO Transit Board meeting the issue of GO Transit funding was a matter of discussion. Since the province announced the changes to transportation funding and GO Transit's operating responsibility, the reports to Halton Council have focused upon the budget issues related to our share of the funding responsibility. These reports have not, however, provided Council with a -- thorough understanding of the larger issues and their significant implications to the GTA and Halton. Further, the City of Toronto released a report calling for major changes to the GO Transit funding formula and which has the potential, if implemented either by the Province of Ontario and/or the proposed GTSB, to double Halton's financial responsibility from 19 to 20 million - dollars annually. In addition, GO Transit has identified$1.1 billion in capital expansion needs. At the current funding formula, Halton's share of these costs would range from $68-$78 million(at 9%)and$136-$156 million(at 20 1%) as proposed by the City of Toronto's report. In the context of this ongoing debate, the City of Toronto Report and the discussions at the June 22nd GO Board meeting, the Regional Chairman requested the Commissioner of Corporate — Services and Director of Planning to prepare a comprehensive report on these and other issues related to GO Transit and GTA transportation issues and to bring forward a Halton position related to these matters for Council's review and consideration. - Therefore, the purpose of this report is as follows: • review the state of transportation capacity, operations, and infrastructure within the GTA • inform Council of the various issues facing GO Transit as outlined in two reports "GO Transit The Next 30 Years Transition Challenges: A Resource Paper June 1997" and "Year 2021 Plan Preparing for the Future, February 1998" • provide an analysis and understanding of the implications of the GO Transit Proposed - Service Restructuring, by the City of Toronto, June 1998 • present for consideration a Halton position and funding model for GO Transit and transportation infrastructure needs within the GTA 72 -t - 3 - Transportation Congestion and the GTA Economy The current GTA transportation network and infrastructure was planned and constructed in the period 1955-1975. In the last 25 years, additions to the GTA transportation network have been limited to the new Hwy. 407 Toll facility, minor widening and lane additions and the incremental expansion of GO Transit. Since 1975 the GTA's population has increased by over 1 million people,-and car ownership and the amount of travel has increased dramatically, resulting in significant congestion. By way of example, in 1985 the QEW through Halton was congested (operating at 85% of its capacity) for 3 of the 12 hour business day between 7 A.M. and 7 P.M. By 1995, up to 7 hours of the 12 hour business day is now congested, with accident or weather occurrences resulting in a virtual breakdown of the freeway and major arterial system throughout South Halton. Similar conditions exist at other locations in the GTA. Estimates place the cost of congestion to the GTA economy at between$1-$3 billion annually. This congestion is not only creating a "drag" on the economy, but will also become a more important factor in maintaining the competitiveness of Ontario/GTA in the world market place. The population of the GTA will grow by approximately 2 million people and add upwards of 1 million Jobs over the next 20-30 years. With this growth, 1 million more cars will be added to the road system, requiring up to 50 lanes of capacity in order to maintain the existing levels of service. At the same time, investment in transportation infrastructure and transit service has continued to decline and as a result, a large percentage of this reduced transportation dollar will have to be directed towards maintaining existing infrastructure, rather than providing new capacity. Without "reinvesting" in the our current transportation infrastructure, the capacity of _ the existing GTA road system will be reduced as roads continue to deteriorate, and fewer buses and rail cars will be available because of ageing fleet problems. Estimates prepared by the Ministry of Transportation, as part of the GTA Transportation Plan, indicate that the existing capacity of the transportation network(roads and transit) in the GTA could be reduced by up to 10 per cent because of these factors. Work undertaken by the Ministry of Transportation indicates that it will not be possible to provide the nearly 50 lanes of additional road capacity in the GTA, as the majority of major roads have already been widened to their fullest extent or rights-of-way for new roads have not been protected. In the case of Halton, it is feasible to widen a number of the major roads within this Region, however, there are numerous creeks and river crossings and ageing structures that will be costly to overcome. Despite the potential for additional road capacity within Halton, - widening of the QEW or Hwy. 401 through Mississauga and Toronto are severely constrained, limiting the opportunity for additional capacity. On a relative basis, the QEW Corridor is far more congested than the Hwy. 401 Corridor through the centre of Halton where there remains sufficient,residual road and transit(GO)capacity to meet short to mid-term needs associated with the implementation of the Halton Urban Structure Plan. On the-other hand,' without the construction of Hwy. 407, development in South Halton will place added pressure on Halton, -- Oakville, and Burlington to widen existing east-west and north-south major arterials. 73 A.► - 4 - In order to meet the transportation needs of the GTA over the next 20-30 years, it will be necessary to develop a broad based strategy that will involve a range of initiatives including: • a coordinated/strategic bus and high occupancy vehicle lane (HOV) network • improved self-containment and less cross commuting through more strategic land use decisions, including increased density and nodalized development • expansion of GO Transit services (bus and rail) • strategic lane additions • parking and land use policies to encourage transit usage • ride-sharing • construction of Hwy. 407 • total demand management, efficient use of existing infrastructure These solutions will permit the GTA to accommodate the forecasted growth in population and economic activity but will not significantly solve or alleviate the congestion problems that exist today. Transit and in particular GO Transit must play a stronger and well defined role in meeting the transportation needs of the Greater Toronto Area. GO Transit The Next 30 Years Transition Challenges: A Resource Paper This report was prepared at the request of the GO Transit Board in June 1997, approved and circulated to the Provincial Government and the GTA/H-W Regions and Municipalities.. The purpose of this Discussion Paper was to provide an'overview of the significant challenges that would be presented to the GTSB/GTA/H-W Regions as GO Transit was transferred from the Provincial Government. -- These issues are as follows: • the need for a GTA Transportation Plan to identify needs and priorities including a clearly defined role for GO Transit • the implications of the deregulation of the Inter-city Bus industry on GO and local transit systems • the impacts of AVA on linear transportation facilities and GO Transit's significant portion of property taxes • the ability of the GTSB/GTA municipalities to meet/finance the catastrophic insurance requirements to be assumed with the transfer of GO transit • the negotiations of new operating contracts with CN/CP Rail and the abandonment of rail corridors • the offshore sale and saleback Agreement of Rail Equipment • funding the operating and capital cost requirements of GO Transit,growth related and - aging fleets A number of these issues have been dealt with since June 1997 including a commitment by the Provincial Government to assume the financial obligations($433 million)related to GO Transit's 74 - 5 - Sale and Saleback Agreement with Asset Finance Bermuda Limited. Since this report, the Province has announced a capital reserve of $106.5 million for the GTSB. GO Transit has recently secured-new insurance coverage that will provide the protection necessary to deal with the potential for catastrophic occurrences or accidents. The Province of Ontario has still not proceeded with the full Deregulation of inter-city bus services. Council has received reports on this initiative and has expressed concerns to the Minister of Transportation that deregulation could have significant financial and service implications to both GO Transit and municipal transit operations. Estimates prepared by GO Transit indicate that Deregulation could translate(conservative estimates) into a 5 per cent loss _ of ridership, with a revenue loss approaching $6.5 million annually. The current operating agreements with both CN and CP Rail have expired and new agreements have been secured. At the time of this report, it was difficult to determine whether the negotiation of new long term contracts will be more costly and the implementation of AVA could have significant implications as GO Transit picks up a share of municipal taxes on rail lines -- proportional to the amount of traffic it generates (trains/day). In some corridors GO Transit's shares exceed 50 per cent, therefore, tax increases relatted to the implementation of AVA on linear corridors could have a significant financial impact on GO Transit. Year 2021 Plan Preparing for the Future, February 1998 -- This report identifies a number of problem areas related to maintaining existing service levels and the requirements of meeting the expected growth in demands on the system over the next 20-30 years. Since 1982 GO Transit rail ridership doubled from 13 to 26 million passengers annually. As a result, virtually every train consist is operating at or well above its seating capacity during peak - periods. Since 1995 the Provincial Government has deferred all capital service expansions. It is important to understand that GO Transit does not have unlimited access to the CN and CP Lines within the GTA. In many cases, specific improvements and expansions must be undertaken by GO Transit, at its cost, to provide the additional capacity required for service expansions. 75 A.!• - 6 - The following table provides a summary of GO's capital improvements over the next 20 years to meet forecasted riderships. In addition,we have provided an indication of Halton's obligation under the current funding formula and that proposed by the City of Toronto.

These changes did however result in some reduction of service within the City of Toronto. The total number of train stops within Toronto is reduced by 26% with the Lakeshore East service (within Toronto) being reduced by 40 per cent. It is important to understand however that there was not a corresponding increase in train stops within the '905' Regions, in fact, the number increases by 1 from 299 to 300. According to GO transit staff, of the 11,200 (peak hour/peak direction) Toronto users of GO, about 4000 will see their time to wait for a train increase by more than 5 minutes with only 1900 seeing an increased wait time of more that 9 minutes. Background, GTSB & Provincial Contribution from the Municipal Capital, Operating, and Restructuring Fund This section of the Toronto Report deals with the future of GO in the GTSB. One area of particular concern is the interpretation of how the Provincial contribution from theMunicipal Capital, Operating, and Restructuring Fund should be used. Specifically, the Toronto Report states its share is $53.1 million "for its share of GO Capital Projects". The GO Transition Discussion Paper, indicated that GO should receive approximately 50 per cent of the Municipal _ Capital/Operating Restructuring Fund (transportation) to be used for the refurbishing and replacement of the existing very old bus fleet and to refurbish the existing engine and passenger rail fleet. The rationale here is that the existing rolling stock assets of GO would be transferred to the GTSB in good shape so that it would not be saddled with an aged infrastructure (note the problems the T—I C has been facing in this regard). _ Responsibility of the Senior Levels of Government This section-of the report deals with the benefits of GO Transit to the GTA and Province and states (what Halton has indicated in previous reports and submissions) that if GO Transit did not exist, it would be necessary to build upwards of 15-20 freeway lanes just to meet current commuter needs. The report makes a very strong case that GO Transit (rail lines) should be - viewed as playing a similar role to the 400 series Highways (and QEW) within the GTA, to which the Province has continued to meet its responsibilities. The report also outlines the "other" benefits of GO in terms of maintaining the economic health of the Toronto CBD and the benefits to the GTA and Provincial economies. The report suggests the Province of Ontario should continue to have a financial responsibility for the operation and financing of GO. 77 --8 - - The report then argues that if GO does not remain the financial and operating responsibility of the Province, there is a need for a dedicated and secure funding stream and points to the recent example of the Greater Vancouver Regional District, where the BC Provincial Government transfers 4 cents/litre in gasoline tax to the-GVRD rising to 10 cents in 2005. The Toronto - Report suggests that the Province of Ontario should provide legislative authority for the GTSB to levy a gasoline tax and a surcharge on vehicle registration and parking costs. The Greater Vancouver Regional District initiative for funding transit is not unique in Canada. Two years - ago a.similar provision was established for the Greater Montreal Area. Based upon the proposals contained in this report,these new taxes and surcharges would generate between $80-$100 million annually across the GTA. The Toronto Report seems to be building on some of the suggestions put forward in the GO Transit Transition Report and Halton's submission to the GTSB. However, Halton has not called for new taxes, rather a sharing of - revenue generated from Provincial Gasoline Tax, Licensing Fees, and Retail Sales Taxes on new and used vehicles. Further, Halton recognized that the concept of NEW TAXES would be unacceptable to the taxpayer and all level of Governments. Halton's concept suggests a negotiated revenue.sharing agreement between the GTSB and the Province once the Provincial deficit was eliminated within the next 18 months. Concerns With the Provincial Funding Formula This section of the Toronto Report takes the position that the current Provincially imposed - funding formula is unfair and should be changed to one that takes into account two factors, the number of passenger kilometres of travel by residence and the number of stations within each Region= Halton staff participated in an exercise in April 1997 that investigated a number of funding options including this one; of those investigated, this option was one of the most beneficial to Toronto and the most punitive to Halton. Under this formula Halton's share of the GO cost doubles from 9 to 20 per cent ($10.2 to $21.0 million). This would result in Halton having one of the highest per-capita funding obligations for GO Transit. Non-Transportation Benefits and Costs Toronto staff have attempted to quantify the benefits of GO Transit to the City of Toronto in a very simplistic way. Specifically,they indicate that the 30,000 workers who commute to Toronto every day spend between$17-$35 million but that this is off set by costs associated with policing, fire, ambulance, water and wastewater treatment costs and concludes: "the estimated non- transportation benefit is considerably lower than the subsidy casts the City would incur to accommodate residents from the 905 Regions on GO Transit". This is a limited analysis and does not take into account the costs of widening the Gardiner Expressway if GO did not exist, and commuters had to rely on their car to get to work or the potential lost assessment of major employers moving to the suburban regions where their workers reside. The Toronto Report also makes no mention of the fact that there is a "net benefit" to Toronto when we compare the Social Pooling costs versus the City's share of GO Transit. 78 - 9 - Halton Stgff Analysis The Toronto Report recommends that the Province of Ontario continue to fund and operate GO Transit as it does the 400 series highways-in the GTA; second, they are requesting the Province to discontinue the current funding formula and that it be replaced with that proposed in the City's - report. As mentioned earlier, this proposed formula would reduce Toronto's share from 49.9 % to 30.9% with Halton being "hit" with an increase of$10 million in its funding obligation for GO. The Toronto Report is also asking for legislative changes to empower the City and all GTA - Regions/Hamilton-Wentworth to establish new sources of revenue, including fuel taxes and surcharges on vehicle licenses and parking. Staff have a number of concerns with the City's positions and the recommendations of this report. On the other hand, there are some areas of commonality and agreement. -- Halton has long argued that there is a significant benefit to the Provincial Government in having an effective, efficient, competitive, and expanding GO Transit system in the GTA. The benefits include reducing the need for costly expansions to the Provincial Highway system,improvements to air quality and_the environment including reduced health care costs from respiratory illness, economic benefits including less congestion that permits the efficient movement of goods and services, and few delays and lost time for commuters accessing their place of work. The Province has downloaded over 40 per cent of the Provincial Road system lane kilometres in the GTA and 100 per cent of the public transit costs, yet it has retained 100 per cent of the dedicated revenue stream for transportation. These revenue streams include, gasoline taxes, licensing fees (vehicle and drivers) and sales taxes on car purchases, rentals, and leases. Of the major infrastructure, such as schools, health care, water and wastewater services, and waste disposal, transit and roads are the only needs that are not met through a dedicated revenue stream, with the exception of the portion of improvements that can be funded through Development Charges. Though staff have not had an opportunity to do an exhaustive search, it appears that Toronto is one of the few world class economic centres not to have a portion of its transportation infrastructure costs shared with senior levels of government. Unlike Toronto that is advocating new taxes-and taxation powers that could lead to a patchwork of gasoline or parking charges throughout the GTA; we have long believed that the Province should share in the existing revenue stream as is the case in the Greater Vancouver Regional District and Greater Montreal Region. With the Province nearing its objective of no deficit within the near 18 months, it will have the fiscal room to begin to share in the monies from these revenue streams with the opportunity to increase the sharing over time (as is the case with the GVRD) as its (the Province's) fiscal position continues to improve. This being said, the funding problem in the GTA/H-W is not just transit but also financing road - expansions and improvements. For example, Regional Road 5 in the future mayy have 79 - 10 - GTA/Regional bus services connecting H W/Halton and PeeUlviississauga operating on a High Occupancy Vehicle Lane, the cost of this improvement should not be financed by Halton alone as it would serve a GTA function. The Toronto Report seeks the Provinces endorsement of its proposed funding formula and of the GTSB upon its formation. Therefore, given the proposed (Tonks)composition, GO Funding would.be on the GTSB agenda very early and, in all likelihood, would be the first "impasse". Report Recommendations Based upon the City of Toronto Report and recent discussions (June 19 for 99998) concept A Mayors and Chairs meeting, there appears to be some interest and support of revenue sharing (gasoline taxes) with the Provincial.Government. It is staffs opinion that this concept should be extended to vehicle and driver licensing fees and potentially to Provincial Sales Taxes on vehicles sales. Therefore, Recommendation 1 of this report is intended to provide a Halton position on this matter. While the City of Toronto Report provides some level of analysis,it is Halton staff s opinion that there needs to be a strong basis and rationale supported by a proper analysis for revenue sharing and the benefits to both the Province and the GTA (as well as the Federal Government) of reinvesting in transportation infrastructure_ Therefore staff are proposing (by way of Recommendation 2) the following course of action. Working through the GO Board, the GTA Regions/H-W share in the cost of retaining an _ independent expert to undertake the following: • Assess the current revenues generated by Provincial Gasoline taxes, vehicle and driver license fees, and automobile/truck sales taxes within the GTA; Determine the current and future operating and capital cost requirements of GO transit using the GTA Transportation Plan as a basis estimate future GTA _ transportation capital costs (road/transit); • Develop and recommend a revenue sharing formula to be negotiated with the Province; using this • Develop a policy for funding GTA Transportation costs(operating/ pitO revenues on a cost sharing basis with the GTA-H-W Regions; - • Determine the Federal gasoline and sales taxes (vehicles) generated in the GTA - versus the level of expenditures/investment; • Determine the feasibility of revenue sharing with the Federal Government in these areas; Assess the benefits of a healthy, efficient, transportation system in the GTA to the Province of Ontario and Canada,including but not limited,economic competitiveness in the world economy(costs of congestion),improved air quality(reduced health care - 80 - 11 - costs) and reduced or delayed expenditures to widened or expand the existing Provincial Road Network in the GTA (400 series Hwys/QEW); • Assess the direct and indirect economic benefits of reinvesting in GTA Transportation infrastructure; • Investigate and report on infrastructure financing mechanisms and responsibilities in other world class jurisdictions; • Prepare a report and position paper for review and support by GTA municipalities _ and presentation to the Provincial and Federal Governments; • That a Task Force be established to draft the Terms of Reference for such a study, recommend a cost sharing formula, undertake the selection of a consultant with the objective of a Draft Report by September 1998. This approach moves in the direction of the Toronto Report,and the independent study may form the basis for a strong consensus on this issue between the City of Toronto and the GTA/H W Regions. It is estimated that the preparation of such a report by an independent outside expert would cost in the range of $120,000 and take approximately 3 months to complete from the date of agreement to a Terms of Reference.- Halton staff are of the opinion that cost of this report be - shared equally between Halton, Peel, York and Durham Regions, the City of Toronto, and Hamilton-Wentworth as a means to reflect a strong commitment towards the concept of revenue sharing with the Provincial and Federal Governments. Under this approach, each Region's share would be approximately$20,000. At this time there has not been any budget approved for this study and therefore would be funded from contingencies.

The Plan will examine the full of works range of 3R's g (Reduce, Reuse, &Recycle) opportunities, composting alternatives, and _ Please quote our ref: other options for the disposal of the remaining waste. The Plan must be practical,readily capable of implementation and financially sustainable over the long term. Community participation is an integral part of the Plana A Public Advisory Committee (PAC)is being formed to enable active public participation- The PAC will be comprised of volunteer members of the public who are interested in the process of finding a long term solution to managing our solid waste. It is envisioned that members will represent a cross section of the Region and it will include various interest groups. The work of the PAC is critical. .This committee will play an important role in developing the Region's Plan.- The role of the PAC is to promote public dialogue on waste management issues and to provide input into the decision making process. The committee will assist in educating the public about the purpose of the Plan, the alternatives under consideration,-the technologies available and the status of the planning process. The PAC will facilitate open, accurate and ongoing communication between the various groups. It is .currently proposed that the PAC will be comprised of 15 to 20 members. It is expected that there will be a number of meetings over the next twelve months. We are inviting people with an interest in the project to submit their name, address, telephone number,a brief one page description outlining why they want to be a member of the PAC, and how they can contribute to the successful development of the Region's Waste Management Strategy Plan. 100%Post Consumer It is anticipated that the membership of-the PAC will be determined in early - September.

This letter is to let you know that vegetation control is scheduled for our transmission(tower)line along the section where your property is located,sometime between August 1 st and December 30, 1998. The work involved will include the selective treatment of undesirable vegetation that would,if left alone,grow into our lines_ Desirable, low growing plants.crops and bushes are carefully avoided,so over the Long term they assist us by reducing future maintenance requirements. Selective treatment involves several operations which may occur simultaneously. These operations include: tree and brush removal by manual cutting;treatment of cut stumps with herbicides;and the selective application of herbicides to individual tall grown brush when it is small enough to be easily controlled_ When selectively applying herbicide,a trained applicator will walk up to each undesirable plant before treatment. We only use registered, approved herbicides which are of a low toxicity and pose no threat to the environment,human or animal life. If no incompa-i+le or tall growing brush is present along your property,no herbicides will be required.

P Dear Head of Council: I am pleased to inform you that the next installment of your municipality's 1998 Community Reinvestment Fund and Special Transition Assistance allocation will be processed during the week of July 27, 1998. This quarterly payment,to be made by electronic funds transfer, is in respect of the period July through September 1998. The amount of this payment has been adjusted from the estimate sent to you on March 30 to reflect local cost sharing arrangements or other technical adjustments.Your municipality's CRF adjustment is explained on the attached table. - The final quarterly payment for 1998,covering the months of October,November and December,will be paid to your municipality in the fall of 1998. The government will seek the advice of municipalities on the allocation formula for the CRF for 1999 and beyond. No municipality's 1998 CRF allocation will be reduced from the March estimate, even though program costs have decreased in some cases. However,in future years, allocations may be adjusted from the 1998 amounts to reflect any decreases in program costs. As you know,your municipality recently received its first invoice for costs of Local Services Realignment programs that the Province is continuing to deliver on your behalf during the transition period.No payment is required before September 1, 1998 and no interest will accrue until October 1, 1998. In January 1999, the Ministry of Finance will review variances between forecasted and year-end actual invoices for Local Service Realignment programs. Consideration will be given at that time to adjusting - municipalities' 1998 CRF entitlements where total net actual costs vary significantly from the forecasted amounts announced on March 31, 1998. - Yours sincerely, A K. g7. — Ernie Eves, Q.C.

No. : M98-04908 E 4.ti r JUL 2 4 199 Dear Heads of Council: Last year I introduced legislation to consolidate processing of provincial offences at the municipal level and to increase revenue for municipalities. Now that Bill 108, the Streamlining of Administration of Provincial Offences Act, 1997 has received Royal Assent (June 11, 1998) , I am inviting submissions from municipalities that are ready to undertake the transfer. The Ministry of the Attorney General will accept submissions over the next two years as municipalities become ready. One requirement for the transfer is an intermunicipal service agreement among the municipalities in court service areas. Court service areas roughly correspond to upper-tier boundaries. The Ministry will accept a single submission from each court service area. POA net revenue will be shared among municipalities according to the terms set out in the intermunicipal agreement. In addition to collecting future revenues, each municipal partner will receive the accumulated net revenue for its area collected after January 1, 1998. Municipalities will receive these funds at the time the transfer agreement is finalized. Municipalities who send in an early submission will have the opportunity to work in partnership with Ministry staff in building the foundation for a smoother, more efficient implementation process from which other municipalities will benefit. Attached you will find information about the submission process. I invite you to participate in the transfer of justice responsibilities that will result in accountable, more efficient services for the people of Ontario. I encourage all municipalities to-_W_ork-"_towards achieving readiness for the POA transfer.

The Bill recei-,ed Royal Assent on June 1 1. 1998. The Provincial Of Act (POA) transfer falls under the broader provincial-municipal realignment of services. The POA transfer: 4 is a phased transfer J 11R, will occur as municipalities demonstrate readiness includes a transfer of net i•evenue The transfer was designed based on consultations with a range of stakeholders, including municipal representatives. stakeholders felt that phasing the transfer over two years would result in a smoother,easier transition.Within the two-year implementation period,municipalities will take on the transfer as they are ready. Earlier municipal sites wi!I mentor later ones, and the province and municipalities will build on what has been learned at each stake so that the process iwill become taster and more efficient over time_ As the timing of the transfer is voluntary, initially some municipalities may not be ready to participate. In court service areas where POA functions have not been transferred at the end of the implementation period, the responsibility for those areas may be offered to municipal groups that have become partners with the Ministrv. 0 - - Q Page I The POA is a procedural law fo-administering and What is the prosecuting provincial offences. including offences created Provincial Offences Act? under municipal bylaws and min.-or federal offences designated as contraventions. Tae POA provisions govern all aspects from serving notice to a defendant, to conducting _ trials, including sentencing and appeals. Provincial statutes -- include the Highway Traffic Art. the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act, the Trespass to Property Act, and the Liquor Licence Act. Current procedures- • Provincial offences and contraventions are enforced by mu Tcipal law enforcement officers, municipal and provincial police and federal enforcement authorities as well as - enforcement officers employed by ministries, such as the Nf--dstry of the Environment. • Most charges are prosecuted by provincial prosecutors spe_-ially trained in POA. • Provincial staff administer POA courts. • POA courts are presided over by independent, provincialll appointed judicial officials, usually justices of the peace. _ • The majority of POA charges are laid using ticketing procez-ores. The province processes charges, collects fines and keeps the net revenue. • Municipalities prosecute municipal by-laws which fall under the POA, including _ parking tickets. • A surcharge on POA fines is remitted to the Victims' Justice Fund. What will change? What will NOT change? • `lunicipalities xvill administer POA courts. P ds o �rvice, including French language • Municipalities will prosecute most POA sen ices anc_rosecutions. charges. • The quallr\ justice across the province. • \tun cipalities will process charges. • Judicial ind- ndence, as guaranteed by the collect fines and keep the net revenue. Constitution- of provincially-appointed justices of the peac,- • Enforcement --sponsibilities. Why transfer the POA? The Ministry of the Attorney General is committee ;o strengthening local justice - that means giving local government more control a-.d accountability for justice issues that mainly impact the community. The first _<zp was to transfer parking tickets. The Ministry began to consider further transfer of POA responsibilities, and this initiative became part of the larger restrucu ing of provincial/municipal responsibilities now known as Local Services Reali nnzent. Page 2 SOME ELEMENTS OF THE POA TRANSFER Revenue and costs Municipalities will collect gross fine revenue, pay operating costs such 41� as office leases and staff, remit the Victim Fine Surcharge, and pay back the province for costs that it continues to bear for POA. Net -- revenues for municipalities across the province have been estimated at $67 million per year, based on 1995/1996 figures. Costs and revenues will be transferred to municipalities when they take on POA responsibilities. POA administration and recordkeeping are done by court service area(61 court service areas in the province). Court service areas are roughly comparable to the upper levels of municipal government. Detailed financial data will be available in profiles of each court service area(court profiles), which are provided at municipal information planning sessions_ The province will conduct audits at the time of transfer in each service area to verify - financial data and determine existing levels of service, which must be maintained after the transfer. Staff Municipalities will require the transfer of trained and experienced staff to ` run POA operations, including courts, ICON, fine processing and prosecutions. The Ministry- of the Attorney General is committed to obtaining job offers for staff affected by the transfer that will mirror the Province's salary structure and recognize staff service and seniority. _ Information Management ICON(the Inlegrated Court Offences Network) is a province-wide - 1 ® computer system that manages financial tracking, trial scheduling and statistics. ICON will continue to be used in every court oi-.ice after the transfer. Facilities and eJc uipment Court profiles will also contain details of current courtroom, office and - equipment needs and costs. Precisely what facilities and equipment are available for transfer will vary depending on the circumstances in each location. Page 3 �r - .r How will the POA transfer take place? �. Currently POA services are delivered through 61 Provincial .WNW Offences Administrative Centres (POACs), each serving a defined area. With some exceptions, these areas roughly match '�— the geographical boundaries of a county, district or regional municipality. Only one submission will be accepted for each POAC: This means that, in most areas, various levels of municipalities,will need to negotiate an intermunicipal service agreement to share POA responsibilities, revenues and costs. This agreement must be in place before a group of municipalities makes its submission to become a municipal partner with the Ministrv. 1. The Ministry of the Attorney General will - 2. invite municipalities to send in submissions that demonstrate their ability to meet A selection panel will choose the readiness criteria established by the partners that have demonstrated _ �t�finistn•.

In June of 1997, - Coldwell Banker Kent Place Realty became the inaugural member of the Partners in Conservation initiative of Kawartha Conservation. Since that time Coldwell Banker has promoted conservation activities and worked closely with - the conservation authority. As part of their support and commitment to — conservation in the Kawarthas, Coldwell Banker agents have provided$503.00 from every real estate transaction to Kawartha Conservation. "Funding support from Coldwell Banker has made a real difference'', said Crowe, - adding,"the people from Coldwell Banker Kent Place Realty can be justly proud of what they have contributed to. Without this type of community minded corporate supporter, many conservation initiatives of benefit to our community would be either more difficult to accomplish or might not be done at all. It is good to see a local business take a stand in support of the environment." Financial support from Coldweii Banker has been directed into water quality monitoring through the Kawadha Water Watch program and has been instrumental in upgrading facilities at Ken Reid Conservation Area, north of Lindsay. "Kawartha Water Watch monitors water quality in all our lakes and rivers with the support of volunteers", said Kawartha Conservation manager, Ian Macnab. "Funding to operate the program comes from community groups and corporate sponsors,"added Macnab, explaining"Financial support from "r.• y - --- Coldwell Banker is being used to outfit four test kits this year with which volunteer water samplers will monitor water quality at upwards of twenty locations-" In the case of Ken Reid Conservation Area, Macnab points to the - -- -- new entrance sign and proudly explains that the revised logo and the -- - - - - production of the sign were made possible by Coldwell Banker- "Of greater importance however is the support given by Coldwell Banker that has allowed -1 - ' Partners in Conservation 2- us to make improvements to our swimming beach area for public enjoyment," said Macnab, "Also,with funding from traditional employment programs more difficult to attain, Coldwell Banker helped support two summer workers so necessary for the maintenance of hiking trails, picnic areas and general conservation area operations." "We are pleased to assist Kawartha Conservation," said Coldwell Banker Kent Place Realty marketing manager, Frank Peters, adding, "the natural environment is one of the big reasons why people like living here. Good water quality and conservation lands for public enjoyment are important and we at Coldwell Banker want to do our part. The Partners in Conservation program is a great way for us to show our commitment to the environment and our community. 1'd like to see more businesses get involved." Upcoming projects of Kawartha Conservation that Coldwell Banker will be partnering in include installing children's playground equipment at the Ken Reid beach; sponsoring youth group activities under the Youth for — Conservation Endowment Fund program being developed by Kawartha Conservation; continuing involvement in operations and maintenance at Ken Reid Conservation Area; and, sponsorship of a bus tour for municipal representatives and the general public to highlight conservation initiatives of Kawartha Conservation. -30- For more information, please contact: Ian Macnab at Kawartha Conservation, (705) 328.2271 or Frank Peters at Coldwell Banker Kent; Place Realty, (705) 324-6033 4.lern s uepartment E_C_W8 the City of 4310 Queen Street COUNCIL INFORMATION C" Clerkg� -37 Niagara Falls P.O.

Finance Minister and Deputy Premier Ernie Eves today addressed more than 1,200 delegates to AMO's annual conference at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto. The Facts: Minister Eves' address commended Ontario municipalities for achieving cost saving measures and efficiencies in governance and service delivery. The Minister reaffirmed the role of municipalities as key stakeholders in the financial stability of the economy of the Province and the economic health and stability of our communities. As such,-the Minister announced that municipalities will have an increased role in a number of important community programs, and called on municipalities to offer their commitment to continue to work - with the Government to ensure the success of municipal reforms. AMC delegates were encouraged by the Government's recognition of the difficulties of managing and funding new programs, and a renewal of the Government's commitment to re-evaluate Local Services Realignment. AMO views this as the first step in moving toward realization of AMO's and the Government's shared long-term objective of removing education and income-redistributive programs from the property tax base. The Minister's address included a number of initiatives designed to benefit municipalities in this transition year, to address immediate cash flow needs and to provide municipalities with "a more stable and predictable environment in which to do 1999 budget planning". These include: • The Deputy Premier, in response to a resolution adopted by the delegates to this year's conference, announced that the August 31" deadline to appeal property assessment may be extended, to give property owners adequate time to receive final tax bills and determine whether to appeal their assessment, Although this requires legislative amendment, the Deputy Premier announced that he is willing to introduce amending legislation provided there is all-party consent to ensure speedy passage of this amendment by the House. • The Community Reinvestment Fund (CRF) payments to municipalities will be calculated on the same basis as 1998, with $600 million in CRF Funding and $75 million in Special Transition Assistance- ...I2 08/26,/98 ZZ24:31 EST; ASSOCIATION OF7-> 985 6Z3 8838 CLERK-Clarington Hun Page 803 AUG-26-98 WED 04:46 PH AHO FAX NO. 4169716191 P. 02 Member Communication-Alert: Finance Minister Addresses AMO Conference • Repayments to the Province for School Board remittances made on behalf of municipalities will be extended from the current September 30 deadline to October 30,to help manage cash flow problems. • The Province will review year-end actual costs for Local Services Realignment programs against the estimates provided to municipalities in March of this year. Where municipalities experience significant shortfalls between estimated and actual costs, CRF funding allocations may be adjusted to cover shortfalls. No reductions to 1998 allocations will occur as a result of this review. • The Province will be refinancing existing social housing debt at lower interest rates, which should create up to $25 million in savings which will be passed on to municipalities. • As a result of changes to business taxation,the Province will also be providing up to $25 million more in payments4n-lieu of taxes made to municipalities for Government owned or tenanted properties, beginning in 1998. Status: AMO is encouraged by the Government's quick response to concerns which were brought forward as a result of resolutions adopted by delegates to this year's conference, including the delayed repayment of school board remittances and consideration of an extension of the tax appeal - deadline. AMO staff will monitor these issues and provide updates as necessary- AMO acknowledges the contribution of many provincial Ministers to this year's conference as an -- indication of the Government's willingness to address its municipal representatives in an open forum and act on recommendations received.

The Committee is seeking comments from key stakeholders, including municipalities. The f=acts: The discussion paper was distributed at the AMO Conference, and is being mailed to all municipalities that receive invoices for social housing. Based on feedback during the consultation, the SHC will — formulate recommendations to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing regarding social housing reform. Municipal comments are very Important in order to influence the development of appropriate recommendations to the Minister. AMO Position: AMO will make a presentation on key municipal issues to the SHC and submit a written position to the SHC. HMO's response will include the following issues: w- Clear and Direct Municipal Accountability • Municipalities must have service management responsibility for social housing as soon as possible _ in order to provide the necessary accountability for this $880 million program. • Accountability for social housing must be through elected councils, not third parties or special purpose bodies. In a municipally-funded and managed social housing system, there is no need to replace the Provincial Government with a province-wide body, No new province-wide organizations should be set up for the social housing system unless municipalities determine the need for these. Av- Say for Pay • Municipalities must be in a position to determine funding priorities for the range of municipal - responsibilities, including housing. As such, municipalities must have the authority to periodically review provider costs with the potential of making financial adjustments as required.The proposed one-time review will not meet municipal needs in this regard. • The provincial role in determining service levels should be limited to the initial transfer period, as municipalities must have the authority to plan for the changing demographics and service needs of the residents over the long term. • AMO supports the repayment to municipalities for subsidies to buildings, Efforts must be made to ensure that as many providers as possible repay this loan.Any decisions regarding debt forgiveness must rest with municipal governments. • The Ontario Housing Corporation and Local Housing Authorities should be wound down and municipalities should be provided with the authority to determine the appropriate delivery mechanism for public housing. Any ownership option for public housing should provide municipalities with the option to own public housing if they choose to do so. - /2 nui.�bi7ts LL:L5:5tS EST; ASSOCIATION OF?-> 985 6Z3 8838 CLERK-Clarington Hun Page 885 AUG-26-98 WED 04:47 PH AHO FAX K0. 4169716191 P. 04 Member Communication-Alert: Discussion Paper Released by the Social Housing Committee w- Clear Roles and Responsibilities • Municipalities must have clear authority over system management for the new social housing system. It is recognized that housing providers will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the housing projects within contractual arrangements with municipalities. • The provincial role in the new social housing system should be limited to functions such as setting broad standards, guaranteeing mortgages, and flowing federal funding. • Municipalities have existing infrastructures and much experience in income testing and related functions and provide responsive and accurate service. Municipal authority over income testing is expected to accompany funding responsibility. -r- Maximum Local Flexibility • Flexibility in program design to adapt to local conditions recognizes the diversity of municipalities across Ontario, and the value of different approaches to satisfy needs. Municipalities do not dispute the need for high level program standards for social housing, particularly those related to Federal requirements which ensure the flow of Federal funds. However, provincial standards must be limited and must recognize the need for municipalities to make decisions which address local circumstances and needs. • Development of standard methods of carrying out social housing administration (Le. service contracting and reporting requirements) assumes a uniformity which does not exist across municipalities and will stifle opportunities to achieve efficiencies through the integration of administration for various services. w- Opportunities to Implement Efficiencies • The Government has indicated that cost-savings in all areas of municipal funding and management responsibility will be necessary in order to achieve revenue neutrality in the transfer of responsibilities to municipal governments. Social housing is no exception. • Municipalities support the inclusion of efficiency targets as part of the benchmarking exercise in order to ensure best value for municipal funding. we- Predictable, Sustainable Costs - • The Province should retain contingent liability. Contingent liability is not held by the Province if principle and interest costs are passed on to municipalities in the event of a default resulting in sale for less than the outstanding value of the mortgage. Municipalities are being given responsibility for providing social housing, and will not be fulfilling this mandate if they are expected to utilize their financial resources to make payments on a government guaranteed debt. • Capital funding and reserves are a key aspect of reducing municipal financial risk and exposure. Municipalities want to ensure that social housing is transferred in a good state of repair with adequate funding of reserves in order to prevent the potential cost spikes associated with unexpected capital needs. • In the absence of true due diligence regarding the state of repair of social housing (e.g. review of each project prior to transfer),the Province should provide a guarantee that the capital cost will not exceed the amount accounted for in the Who Does What transfers and fund any costs above this amount. • Should an adequacy study be conducted regarding capital reserves for social housing,the reserves must be topped up to the necessary level prior to the transfer of funding responsibility. Action: Municipalities are strongly encouraged to provide responses to the SHC. A limited number of delegations will be taken in person by the SHC on September 28`f' (requests for delegations must be made through the MMAH by September 10t"). Written submissions will be accepted until 5:00 pm on September 24"'_ All written correspondence can be faxed to MMAH at (416) 585-6227. Municipalities are also asked to forward copies of their written submissions to AMO to assist in developing our presentation to the Committee.

The Works and Utilities Committee recommends: (1) the adoption of the report dated July 6, 1998, from the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services; and (2) that Councillors Da Bossons and Jack Layton be requested to work with the appropriate staff to develop initiatives to publicize the corporate challenge. The Works and Utilities Committee reports, for the information of Council, having referred the communication dated July 15, 1998, from Mr. Lloyd Clare, The Environmental Permit Corporation, to the Strategic Policies and Priorities Committee with a request that, if possible, an opportunity be -- provided for Mr. Clare to appear before the Strategic Policies and Priorities Committee at its meeting scheduled to be held on July 24, 1998. The Works and Utilities Committee submits the following report (July 6, 1998) from the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services: Purpose: To comment on a proposal for a by-law to prohibit the burning of used motor oil. — Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement: There are no direct funding implications of this report. Recommendations: It is recommended that: (1) the City of Toronto initiate a voluntary challenge to businesses in the City and showcase those that adopt a corporate policy not to burn used motor oil; __ (2) the proposed by-law given in Appendix A to this report be considered for enactment by Council of the City of Toronto by December 31, 1998, if still required, in order to completely eliminate the burring of used motor oil in space heaters-, and (3) municipalities in the Greater Toronto Area be encouraged to take similar action to eliminate the burning of used motor oil in space heaters. Council Reference/Background/History: -- The City of Toronto Council, at its meeting held on May 13 and 14, 1998, adopted Clause No_ 1 of Report No_ 4 of The Works and Utilities Committee, as amended_ In the Clause, the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services is requested to comment on a motion to adopt a by-law to prohibit - the burning of used motor oil in space heaters. Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification_ The Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services has received a draft by-law from the City Solicitor to prohibit the burning of used motor oil. A communication from the City Solicitor's Department to the Works and Emergency Services Department forwarding the draft by-law is — contained in Appendix A to this report. The by-law focuses on the fuel rather than the heating device. As such, the by-law would not render existing space heating devices unusable but instead would prohibit the burning of used motor oil in them. No. 2 heating oil can be substituted for used motor oil as a fuel. We have confirmed that Suncor, Sunoco Group, has a policy not to bum used oil at its outlets. A corporate challenge to other business might reduce or eliminate the burning of used motor oil in due course. An initial option for Council is to publicize a voluntary corporate challenge to encourage more businesses to step forward and discontinue used oil burning. The corporate challenge could involve foil public recognition and appreciation to businesses choosing to voluntarily discontinue the burning of used motor oil. The City could maintain a database of businesses that have volunteered not to burn waste oil for the reference of the media and general public. City Council could establish a firm time line for full participation. After allowing time for voluntary action, City Council could proceed to implement a by-law. A by-law would level the playing field. Competition for businesses having volunteered to discontinue burning of used motor oil would be - required not to burn used motor oil and therefore could not secure any business advantage by burning used motor oil. – By allowing time for business to volunteer before enacting a by-law, businesses would have the opportunity to show environmental leadership in the community. By taking a leadership position, businesses would gain public recognition. Voluntary action would serve to promote businesses that - step forward with voluntary action. In addition to allowing time for voluntary action, time would be required for businesses to make fuel storage modifications to substitute heating oil for used motor oil. By scheduling the enactment of a by-law, if necessary, after December 31, 1998, the City would give businesses sufficient notice in order to plan and implement heating system modifications. To achieve a level playing field for businesses located in the City near the City boundary, neighbouring municipalities should be requested to take similar action to eliminate the burning of used motor oil. Residents of neighbouring municipalities will benefit from better air quality resulting from the elimination of the burning of used motor oil in the City, depending on the wind direction. Neighbouring municipalities can reciprocate by taking similar action. Conclusions: A corporate challenge could yield significant participation by Toronto businesses in a clean air initiative to end the burning of used motor oil in space heaters. If required, a by-law would complete the discontinuation of the burning of used motor oil in space heaters in the City and, by levelling the -- competitive playing field, serve to support those businesses having already volunteered to discontinue the burning of used motor oil_ Time should be provided to businesses to implement fuel storage modifications to end the burning of used oil prior to a by-law coming into effect. - Contact Name: Kevin Loughborough, P. Eng., Works and Emergency Services — (416) 392-8845; (416) 392-4540 fax. (Communication dated July 2, 1998, from Legal Services referred to in the foregoing report) In considering Clause No. 1 of Report No. 4 of The Works and Utilities Committee at its meeting on May 13 and 14, 1998, City Council referred a motion by Councillor Sgro to the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services for a report. The motion by Councillor Sgro recommends that Council adopt a by-law to prohibit the use of used motor oil for space heating by or in businesses in the City of Toronto. In relation to this matter, I thought that it would be useful for me to provide some legal comments for possible incorporation in your report going to the Works and Utilities Committee. The comments _ must be read in the context of the report from the City Solicitor, dated April 16, 1998, entitled "Options to Ban and Grandfather the Operation of Waste Oil Heaters", and the legal opinions expressed there about the validity of any municipal by-law. My comments are as follows: The proposed by-law purports to utilize section 257.2(the licensing provisions) of the Municipal Act as authority for enactment of the by-law. The by-law, however, as drafted, is simply regulatory in that it neither imposes conditions to any existing licenced business nor attempts to define and licence a new business and, in conjunction therewith, impose conditions. In particular, sections 2 and 3 of the proposed by-law read as follows: - "(2) the purpose of this by-law is to prohibit the use of used motor oil for space heating"_ — "(3) no business may bum"used motor oil" for space heat within the municipality of the City of Toronto". 4 -- If the intent of Councillor Sgro is to propose a by-law based on utilization of the licencmg provisions of the Municipal Act, any by-law(if the intent is to make it enforceable as a licensing by-law) must amend the general licensing by-law of the City, namely By-law No. 20-85 of the former Municipality - of Metropolitan Toronto,as amended_ In that by-law, one would either attach conditions to existing licenced businesses or create a definition of a new business to be licenced and attach conditions to the operation of that business. Given the intent of Councillor Sgro's proposed by-law to simply regulate the fuel source for these space heaters, it may be simpler to utilize the specific regulatory provision which would appear to apply, namely, paragraph 156 of Section 210 of the Municipal Act. Again, that paragraph reads as follows: "For regulating, controlling and inspecting heating and cooking appliances, or any classes thereof, the installation thereof and the storage of fuel for use in connection therewith". (I have not, however, finished research into the provision, including a search of Hansard to determine the legislative intent of the section- although an initial search has not been fruitful.) — If paragraph 156 of Section 210 of the Municipal Act is to be used, however, I would also make two points about the proposed by-law, as a regulatory by-law: 1_ The very breadth of the definition of"space heater"encompasses every type of heating device in prohibiting the burning of used motor oil as a fuel. While the by-law attempts to limit this absolute prohibition to businesses, arguably there is no provision in paragraph 156 of section 210 of the Municipal Act allowip_g such regulation to be discriminatory, i.e.,,applicable -- to one class of persons and not to others. The by-law, as a regulatory by-law, would have to be re-drafted to provide a prohibition on the burning of used motor oil by all persons withn the City. This should not make a difference, as I understand residences do not utilize waste oil heaters; and 2. "space heat" is not defined; "space heater" is defined so that the proposed section (3) or similar section should in fact read as follows: "(3) no person may burn"used motor oil" within a space heater within the - City of Toronto." A possible by-law on the basis of paragraph 156 of section 210 of the Municipal Act is set out in the -- attached appendix. I would be pleased to discuss any of the above at your convenience. 5 APPENDIX Authority: Intended for first presentation to Council: Adopted by Council: — CITY OF TORONTO Bill No- BY-LAW No. WHEREAS paragraph 156 of section 210 of the Municipal Act allows municipalities to regulate and control heating appliances, or any class thereof, and — WHEREAS space heaters burning used motor oil generate significantly more pollution than other fuels used for space heating; and WHEREAS Toronto residents currently bear the monetary, human health and environmental costs of air pollution; and WHEREAS space heaters currently burning used motor oil can burn cleaner fuels without a modification and at no capital cost; NOW THEREFORE the Council of the City of Toronto HEREBY ENACTS as follows: 1. In this by-law. (a) "used motor oil" means lubricating oil that has been used as a lubricant in any commercial or industrial operation or as a lubricant in the crankcase of motor vehicles; and (b) "space heater" means a heating device that, through combustion of fuel, provides heat energy to an internal or external area. — 2. No person may burn used motor oil within a space heater. ENACTED AND PASSED this day of , A.D. Mayor City Clerk (Corporate Seal) 6 The Works and Utilities Committee reports, for the information of Council, having also had before it during consideration of the foregoing matter a communication (July 15, 1998) from Mr. Lloyd Clare, The Environmental Permit Corporation, requesting that the Works and Utilities Committee defer consideration of the aforementioned report until proper notice can be given to the affected parties; and expressing concern with respect to the lack of adequate notice in this matter.

Municipalities now have the flexibility and responsibility to determine the most appropriate means of meeting the needs of their local residents, including alternative service delivery approaches. In assessing these options, several municipalities have considered the sale or transfer of transit capital assets previously subsidized by the Ministry of Transportation. -In the past, our'transit program policy was to recover a provincial share upon the sale of any transit capital assets. We have been asked whether this policy will continue now-that municipalities have sole funding responsibility for transit. This government believes that municipalities should have full flexibility in managing the assets at their disposal. AccordingIv, I would like to confirm that the Ministry of Transportation will not require municipalities to return the province's share of the proceeds should they decide to sell or transfer transit capital assets for which subsidies were received in the past. -•--- T r`,r•U � Lr;t i 4 _ I Made from recovered materials Fait de mat&riaux r6cup&6s - 2 - I am confident that as your municipality sorts out its budgetary and planning priorities, the interests of the transit system will be carefully considered.

These baits contain a rabies vaccine. There have only been two reported cases of fox rabies in Ontario in 1998. This bait drop is to help control the fox strain of rabies in Ontario. — Baiting will commence from the Stafford Municipal Airport on September 21, 1998 and continue from the Peterborough AI..port around September 27, 1998. Three MNR "Yellow Bird" T win Otters will distribute the baits between 8:00am and 7:00pm daily, weather permitting. The baits will be dropped by Twin Otter Airplanes flying at an elevation of approximately 500 feet above the ground surface. The baits will contain a blister pack of rabies vaccine (Imrab - a vaccine commercially produced by Artemis Technologies). baits are labeled as MNR Rabies gaits and include a phone number should anyone find one and need to inquire further. The Ministry requests that people not touch the baits. The vaccine bait drop has been highly effective in eliminating fox rabies from Ontario. Due to its success, the Rabies Unit of the MNR has been asked to conduct bait drops in Quebec, Vermont, New York,Ohio and Texas in 1998_ If you wish further information on rabies prevention and control, contact MNR's Natural Resources Information Centre at 1-800-667-1940 or visit the Rabies Awareness website at http://www_mnr.gov on.ca/MNR/rabiestrabmenu_htmi. - - SOUTHERN ONTARIO got COUNTIES 1100 q GEOGRAPHICAL TOWNSHIPS A C if ILI 0A T:1 flit? 00 (A PROPOSED 1998 RABIES VACCINE BAITING AREAS IN ONTARIO Blanket Aerial Baiting GTA Ground Baiting COUNCIL INFORMATION I-55 "OjC J"20 f[ES pYp1t 'Yy/gyp �LLVLS 17G1f �^ lse%uicz OTUpVG ULjf ROTARY CLUB OF B O WMANVILLE P.O.

PAGE 1 COUNCIL INFORMATION I-60 SPECIAL BULLETIN --- Frank Cowan Company �` ��z pang Limited �L 1, S August 1998 YEAR 2000 'm MILLENNIUM BUG In recent months, there has been considerable media coverage regarding problems that Canadian businesses will face in the near future if their computerized 2000 equipment is unable to deal with the"Year problem". The"Year 2000 problem"refers to the potential inability of computer equipment and e software, and any other equipment which relies on computers, chips or software to recognize and process certain dates. This problem is not restricted to computer systems but will also affect anything controlled by a computer program or anything which may contain an embedded chip.—e. security or alarm systems, heating, air conditioning systems, elevators,just to names production equipment, The"Year 2000 problem" will arise from: ♦ The inability of the system or chip to differentiate two-digit year coding—e.g. Two digits were used to store the year therefore 1 900 and 2000 will not be differentiated. ♦ 1 949 coding e.g. 99 was often used in the date field to designate test data or used as an expiration date for archived data. ♦ Not recognizing the Year 2000 as a leap year. The end result may be that the computer or equipment fails to operate, continues to operate but produces incorrect results, or may fail in such a way that it causes injury or damage. (The types of equipment and the insults listed above are meant as basic examples only and in no way represent s complete list of squipment that may be affected or,results that may occur.) The question of whether or not insurance coverage exists under various insurance policy forms has also been a topic of interest. With the widespread publicity and knowledge about the"Year 2000 problem" the position of insurers is that a year 2000 loss would not be a"fortuitous" event and therefore any lass arising directly or indirectly from the "year 2000 problem"would not be Insured. Insurance policies are designed to cover losses arising out of unexpected or accidental ar"fortuitous" events. In addition, various exclusions in your policy would also preclude coverage for such losses. To clarify the coverage issue, Insurers have deemed it necessary to add a specific"Misinterpretation of Date Exclusion Endorsement" to all policies of Liability(which includes Environmental Liability and Errors and Omissions), Property, Electronic Data, Boiler& Machinery and Crime insurance. With respect to the Property and Electronic Data policies this exclusion will not apply to losses resulting directly from certain "Named Perils" listed in the endorsement. YOUR RENEWAL DOCUMENTS WILL INCLUDE THIS "MISINTERPRETATION OF DATE EXCLUSION' ENDORSEMENT. It is extremely important that you continue to manage your Year 2000 risks and take all necessary steps to ensure compliance as soon as possible. In order to assist you, we will continue to provide risk management support and supply you with updated information as it becomes available. 08/31/98 ZZ:86:88 EST; ASSOCIATION OF?-> 985 6Z3 8838 CLERK-Clarington Hun Page 882 AUG-31-98 I10N 05:03 PM ANN FAX N0, 4169716191 1-61 - COUNCIL INFORMATION P. 01/02 / Association of _ _ • / `;+ •� Municipalities of Ontario For Your 393 University Avenue,SUIte 1701 Tamnto,ON M5G IEa Tat:(x19)971-99 , (ate)971-8191 n f o r m a t i o n ■n oCorri o.munleom.com For immediate Attention August 31, 1998 FYI -981028 -- 1998-1999 AMO Board of Directors ISSUE: The 1998-1999 AMO Board of Directors was elected at the annual conference in Toronto last week.

Barrie Clerk -- The Municipality of Clarington 40 Temperance St. Bowmanville, ON L I C 3A6 Dear Ms. Barrie: RE: Tenant Protection Act Regulations Dealing with Automatic Rent Reductions Resulting from'Tax Decreases - Under the recently proclaimed Tenant Protection Act(TPA),the rents charged for units in a rental residential dwelling or complex are automatically reduced if the municipal taxes for the property have decreased. The provisions are set out in sections 136 and 137 of the TPA. These new provisions contained in the Act require municipalities to inform landlords and tenants of the calculated rent reductions. The situations under which these legislative provisions apply are established by regulations under the Act. These regulations dealing with automatic rent reductions were filed with the Registrar of Regulations on August 14, 1998, and are expected to be gazetted in the Ontario Gazette on August 29, 1998. We recognize the significant role municipalities will play in providing tax and rent change notices to landlords and tenants under the Act. In this regard,the regulations have been developed with involvement and feedback from stakeholder groups representing the interests of landlords, tenants and municipalities. The regulations deal with three specific matters. - Firstly, they establish rules for automatic rent reductions resulting from tax decreases by - setting the comparison periods for determining rent reductions, the timing for rent reductions taking place, the formula for calculating rent reductions,the threshold for determining eligibility for rent reductions, and the building size threshold for - municipalities to notify landlords and tenants about rent reductions. There is a formula for calculating rent reductions recognizing that municipalities will not know actual rents being charged by a landlord. This formula is based on the assumption that,on average, taxes make up about 20% of rent. The threshold for automatic rent reductions is a 21/2% tax decrease and municipalities will be required to send notices to landlords and tenants of buildings containing seven or more units where the tax decrease is 2%2%or greater. Secondly,the regulations establish the timing for municipalities to send notices of rent _ reductions to landlords and tenants and the method of service for notices being sent to landlord and tenants. For 1998, notices are to be sent to landlords and tenants between October 1st and December 15th. - Finally, the regulations establish the deadline for landlords and tenants to apply to the Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal for an order varying the amount of the rent reduction and the circumstances under which an application may be filed. Attached is a copy of the regulations dealing with automatic rent reductions. The Ontario Rental — Housing Tribunal is developing a form for municipalities to notify landlords and tenants about rent reductions. The Tribunal will be sending a copy of this form to your municipality shortly. Questions concerning the regulations can be directed to the Housing Policy Branch. In this regard, please contact Kevin Sullivan at(416) 585-6541 or Grant Cockburn at(416) 585-6289- Thank you in advance for your assistance in implementing the TPA automatic rent reduction provisions.

This fall's campaign rovincial seat belt .p runs from October 3 - 17, with a kick-off that combines Operation Impact, a national 24-hour police enforcement blitz, and the Seat Belt Challenge, a one-day provincial event where volunteers conduct an informal observational survey of seat belt use in their communities. r It has been more than 21 years since Ontario first introduced seat belt legislation.-Since 1976, it is estimated that more than 5,900 lives have been saved due to seat belt use. Seat belt compliance for all occupants was-89 per cent in 1997. We are still a long way from achieving our goal - of a.95 per cent compliance rate.- -- l;3>. Children, in particular, cannot make safety choices on their own. Yet our' young passengers,if unbuckled or incorrectly restrained, remain at risk -_= when they are in a collision. 4%___ For this year's-campaign, the police have committed to focus their enforcement and education on three factors: ensuring the child is _ restrained, ensuring infant child safety seats are rear-facing and ensuring that-the tether straps are installed. This commitment is inspired by Transport Canada's 1997 Child Restraint- - Use Survey results.. The Survey results illustrate these facts. Only 84.3 - per cent of children under 16 in Ontario are using appropriate types of restraints. Across Canada, about 30 per cent of infant carriers are - All, incorrectly used and, in 25 per cent of cases, the rear-facing infant I - carriers were incorrectly installed facing forward.

This is a province-wide one-day seat belt count that combines the efforts of the police, MTO, health and injury prevention professionals and concerned individuals. • OPERATION IMPACT,the 24-hour national enforcement blitz is also planned for Saturday, October 3. Timing the two events together is a great way to start off the campaign, and to let Ontario know that you will be focussing your enforcement efforts on the proper use of seat belts and child seats. • Every community is responsible for organizing its own launch of the seat belt campaign, through the media and through your local events. Create an event that will dray some media attention to seat belts and child safety seats. -- Organize a child seat clinic. Seek some expert advice.Arrange some training for your volunteers. Ask the local fire department for help. Be creative. - Talk to the local elementary schools. Start up a seat belt deputy program there. Deputizing grades 1, 2 or 3 has worked well in some communities. Or, arrange an information display for students,parents and caregivers. • Involve your community. Invite a speaker to a community gathering to talk about seat belt or child safety seats. • Contact reporters in advance of the campaign to let them know about the activities you have planned. Then get back to them again with your results--how many vehicles you checked, how many offense notices were issued or how many people came to your child safety seat clinic. • ' -hen you're talking to reporters about a collision,please mention if someone was saved by wearing a seat belt or when someone was seriously injured by not wearing a seat belt_ -- Real life touches us more closely than statistics. • Police officers are positive role models. By wearing seat belts during work and when off duty, you are setting a very good example.

'4 CHILD RESTRAINT USE IN CANADA: 1997 SURVEY DATA -- Transport Canada periodically conducts observational surveys to determine the use of child restraints, Children are observed in vehicles stopped at traffic lights and stop signs during daylight hours to determine the type of restraints used for children under 16 years of age- The fifth national survey of child restraint use was conducted during the week of July 25 to July 31, 1997 ix 206 sites across Canada_ The data m this leaflet arc based on 22,037 observations of children under 16- Except for Table 4 which shows proper use of apprapriate - restraints, the data presented in the leaflet is weighted according to community population and provincial population. 1. Tomes of Restraint Used Table I presents the use and non-use of restraints for each of the various age groups in the survey- The results show tha �/ff the children observed used scat belts or child restraints,while the remainder were unrestrained- Restraint usage was lowest for the 5-9 year olds(84-6%) and highest for the age group under I year(95-7%)- DIFFERENT STYLES OF CONVERTIBLE CHILD RESTRAINTS � _ F _ S-POFI T HARNESS SHIELD (ARM) T-SHIELD 2. Proper Restraint Use by Province and Abe The survey results presented in Table 2 show the percentages of children in restraints appropriate to their ages,i.e.,under 1 year-infant carrier or child seat; 1-2 years-infant carrier or child scat;3-4 years-child seat;booster seat or seat belt;5-9 years-booster seat or scat belt; 14-15 years-scat belt. - Across Canada,85.6% of children surveyed were using appropriate types of restraints. The youngest age group(under 1 year)turned in the highest percentage(95.3%) and the 5-9 year _ olds the lowest(83.4%). For all age groups combined,the provincial totais ranged from 82.1% in Newfoundland to 942%in Nova Scotia- 3. Proper Use of Appropriate Restraints Table 3 shows proper use of appropriate restraints for children under 16. Proper use is determined according to the criteria for each of the restraint types. An infant carrier is - considered to be properly used only if the harness is in use,the vehicle belt is used to restrain the carver to the vehicle (for infant-only sears) and the carrier is installed facing the rear of the vehicle. A child seat is considered to be properly used only if the harness is in use, the _ child seat is secured with the vehicle scat belt and tether strap is used. A booster seat is considered to be properly used if the vehicle seat belt is used-to secure the seat. If a 3-4 year old child is secured by a vehicle seat belt,then helshe is considered to be properly secured. If any one of the required criteria is not observed,it is excluded from the data analysis. The estimated proper use for children uudcr 5 years of age was 76.190 in 1997, an increase of 18% from 1989.

"This group will establish two-way information sharing between our stations and the community," said Robert Ferguson, OHN Vice President. "We want to work in partnership with the community to make sure we are responsive to community environmental concerns and needs,"he said. The EAG will be made up of about 15 people,who will be invited to apply through a series of - newspaper advertisements.The goal will be to establish a group with a wide range of experience. The EAG= mandate will be to "develop informed,consensus-based recommendations regarding OHN environmental programs, operations and activities,"Ferguson said, adding that by listening to the community, "our operations can only improve." Ferguson said he is hoping people from various sectors will consider applying. "We're encouraging people from the Fast Nations,local government,university,high school, industry, environmental and medical communiti es, as well as the general public to become involved",he said The group will also have representatives from the Atomic Energy Control Board, Provincial Ministry of the Environment, and Ontario Hydro Nuclear. According to Ferguson,membership on the EAG requires a sincere interest in issues related to OHN environmental activities, as well as the time to study, listen, discuss and work to reach agreement as a group relative to those issues. Members, specifically selected for their diversity and range of perspectives,are expected to communicate those perspectives and seek to understand others'perspectives in a constructive - fashion. Members are not paid for participation on the EAG;however, OHN will reimburse travel, lodging Ontario Hydro-700 University Avenue-Toronto, Ontario, MSG 1X6-Telephone 592-3338 or 1-800-263-7309 Fax (416)592-2178 http://w,N-w.hydro.orLca and meal expenses according to OHN-reimbursement guidelines when members are participating in EAG- specific activities.

Norm Sterling Minister of Environment 135 St. Clair Avenue West, 15th Floor Toronto, Ontario M4V 115 Dear Minister Sterling: Despite the enormous amount of information provided to you by hundreds of Ontario municipalities, environmental groups, industries, voters, and my office,you continue to denigrate an LOBO deposit-refund system as a means to improve Blue Box recycling. Your comments at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario(AMO) conference on August 25, 1998 and your quotes as published in the August 26, 1998 issue of the Toronto Star warrant some comment. • You continue to insist that a deposit-refund system will incur high costs to consumers - this in the face of the LCBO's own analyses that show that an LCBO deposit-refund system would operate at an 82% recovery rate (as opposed to a 40-50%diversion rate in the Blue Box) and at half the current municipal waste management cost associated with LCBO packaging. More recent work suggests that at an 85% recovery rate an LCBO deposit-refund system would actually generate a net revenue. Given these facts, what policy work has the Ministry of Environment done to substantiate your claim of high costs to consumers?Where are your Ministry's analyses supporting your contentions? • You have completely disregarded the request of 269 municipalities (representing 84(1/o of Ontario's population) and refuse to believe their evidence supporting the contention that a deposit-refund system will improve Blue Box recycling. How does your rhetorical and entirely unsubstantiated opinion on the impacts of a deposit-refund system on the Blue Box system outweigh the opinion of hundreds of municipalities which provide Blue Box services and who have an expert understanding of the inherent costs and issues associated with providing such services? Again, where are your facts and figures? • You are entirely unwilling to show any flexibility regarding the current municipal recycling laws despite the fact that they make absolutely no economic or environmental sense. Is there any rationale for municipalities to collect gldss in the Blue Box at over$100/tonne and then landfill most of it because it is colour mixed and contaminated? In response to The City of Toronto's LCBO deposit-refund by-law initiative, you have stated that home - owners should continue to put their bottles In the Blue Box adding that, "that's what the law is and that's what the law will be,"—an arrogant statement that forcibly binds municipalities to defy common sense. Given your response to my questions at the annual AMO conference regarding the province's intentions regarding such a system, I am left wondering whether your position is that of a Minister who is uninformed or that of a Minister who, for some unexplained reason, is particularly obstinate and intransigent regarding this particular issue. In your closing remarks at the AMO conference you said that, "people need to be more up-front about this issue." Unlike all other parties involved in working towards a sustainable, efficient and effective waste management system for Ontario, only you and your Ministry have not brought forward any information or analysis to support your contentions. I would suggest that you should be more "up-front"and at least give us an insight into the reasoning behind your comments. Until then I can only accept your comments as hollow and unsubstantiated rhetoric.

Ontario, M5V 306 Telephone: (416) 392-4066 Vice Chair, Police Services Board Fax: (416) 696-3673 Tuesday, September 1, 1998 For immediate release DOES THE MINISTER OF ENVIRONMENT KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT? When it comes to the costs and benefits of an LOBO deposit-refund system is Minister of Environment, Norm Sterling misleading Ontarians or is he just misinformed? That is the question that City of Toronto Councillor Judy Sgro is trying to answer with a request for information from the Ministry of Environment under The Freedom of Information Act. "Norm Sterling has told Ontarians that an LOBO deposit-refund system will cost consumers more, will'have little environmental benefit and will undermine Ontario's Blue Box program," says Sgro, adding,"but information from every province and territory in Canada, from 269 Ontario municipalities and from the LCBO itself contradicts every point the Minister has made on this issue.""So where is the Minister getting his information from?", asks Sgro. in order to find out, Councillor Sgro is requesting that the Ministry of Environment provide the following information: • What is the LOBO's cost of operating a deposit-refund system? - What are the costs and benefits of an LOBO deposit-refund system to Ontario`s Blue Box program? What are the environmental impacts of an LOBO deposit-refund system? Sgro plans to share her findings with all of Ontario's municipalities. "1'm holding the Minister accountable for his statements," says Sgro, adding, "if there isn't any policy analysis by the MOE to support the Minister's claims I think it isn't out of order to ask where the Minister is getting his information from." To date the primary vocal detractor of an LOBO deposit-refund system has been Corporations Supporting Recycling (CSR) - an industry lobby group representing the soft drink industry and other industry packaging users and producers. Also not supportive of an LOBO deposit-refund system is Andy Brandt-former cabinet minister in the Bill Davis government, close friend of Minister Sterling, and current Chair of the LCBO. 2 page 2 "The similarities between the Minister's comments and arguments put forward by CSR are surprising,"says Sgro. She also notes that, "It's incredible that in the two years that everybody has been looking at ways to improve the Blue Box that the MOE hasn't put forth a single bit of analysis on the issue. Instead, all we've had is unsubstantiated rhetoric from the Minister." There is widespread support for an LCBO deposit-refund system in Ontario. This support includes 269 municipalities (representing 84%of Ontario's.population), over 50 citizens and environment groups, several Boards of Trade and many businesses (including several in the wine industry). Says Sgro,"it boggles the mind that the Minister is squandering such an economic, environmental and political win.

As September approaches I know that your schedules are filling'.up'and your priorities for the fall are getting established. I write, therefore, to turn your attention to Bill 56. — The Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB) Legislation has now been introduced in the Legislature. The dialogue leading up to this Legislation showed that we can listen to one another and forge approaches to meeting mutual - objectives. The Minister of Municipal Affairs & Housing, The Honourable Al Leach, has asked that I continue to moderate the.dialogue. I am pleased to do so, having learned much over the past months about the shape and character of GTA communities and our shared challenges. I have also come to understand that opportunities to strengthen our economic region for a sustainable future must be inclusive and complement the range of lifestyle options reflected in the diversity of GTA communities. The next month is particularly important as you and your council review the Legislation and consider the refinements that have been made from the draft. As I wrote to you last March, the GTSB provides us with an opportunity to chart our own course as municipal partners in the GTA. Let's work together to shape it and make it work. To that end, I would like to meet with you to discuss the Legislation, to hear - - your comments. My office will be in touch shortly to schedule a meeting. -2- In my capacity as GTA Moderator my role continues to be one of listening and - ensuring that all GTA municipalities and other stakeholders have an opportunity to contribute positively. In this regard, I remain a resource to you, your council, and your constituents in any way that would further the dialogue. Also, please continue to forward your comments on the Legislation to my officer I hope you share my confidence that through continuing dialogue we can together shape a Greater Toronto Services Board that works for all of our communities.

JUL 1 p 199g MUIWCIPALITY OF CLARING Jn; MAYOR'S OFFICE Mayor Diane Hamre & Council , Municipality of Clarington, 40 Temperance Street, BOWMANVILLE , ON L1C 3A6 . Dear Mayor Hamre & Council: RE: Hunting Restrictions I would like to express to Council members, some of my concerns _ regarding restricting hunting in an agricultural area. If hunting is prohibited south of the 8th Concession, how do we control over population of wildlife and predators. -- We own a farm on the east side of Clarington, just east of the village of Kendal and we are not opposed to hunting. As a farmer, how else do we protect our livestock from predators? During the past several years, some farmers have allowed hunters to hunt on their property in order to protect their livestock from wolves and other predators. If a farmer is permitted to discharge a firearm or permit a hunter to hunt on their property in order to protect their livestock does this not defeat the purpose of prohibiting- hunting in an agricultural area. — It would appear from the newspaper articles that I have read, that the problem is probably not associated with hunting but carelessness and misuse of a firearm. If this is the case, the problem will be not resolved by prohibiting hunting. I would also question as to whether the problem is associated with licenced hunters or individuals who own guns without a licence. -- Hunters must be licenced by the Ministry of Natural Resources and in order to obtain a licence a training course must be taken. The Ministry imposes very strict licensing requirements and regulations that must be adhered to by all hunters, otherwise the Ministry has the right to suspend any licence, lay charges and seize any firearms and hunting equipment if necessary. Must Hunters consider it to be a privilege to be able to hunt and they know they can lose that privilege if rules and regulations are not followed. As well as in the agricultural area, hunting is permitted on most crown lands unless the lands are designated for public use or other purposes and posted. If a property is posted "No Hunting" and someone is hunting without written permission from the owner then they should be reported immediately to the Ministry of Natural Resources. . . .2 . . . 2 - Mayor Hamre & Council Hunting Restrictions July 10 , 1998 The Ministry of Natural Resources as the licensing agent has a - responsibility to enforce their rules and regulations for hunting. If the municipality was to restrict hunting in an area, it would then become a municipal responsibility for enforcement and I wonder if the municipality has the resources to provide the enforcement that would be required. In conclusion, I would like to ask all Council members to carefully consider all the positive and negative aspects of prohibiting hunting. I am sure that by discussing the concerns and issues relating to this matter with representatives from the Ministry of _ Natural Resources and perhaps the Association of Anglers and Hunters that the problem could be best dealt with in another manner.

Good reasons for walking to school: •Teaching children the'o of walking will lead to a lifetime of healthy habits. 31%o Canadian children do not get the physical activity that they need to develop cardiovascular fitness,muscle strength and flexibility. *Physical activity can enhance a child's academic performance. •Walking can create safer communities by putting more eyes back on the street. •More than 82%of Canadian children aged 11 and under live within walling distance of their schools. •Wallring to school and home takes about 30 minutes a day which meets the minimum daily level of physical activity recommended for good health. •Parents and their children can share a more intimate experience with each other while walking rather than travelling by car. How does walking local air quality? •Walking reduces car exhaust and amog,which is linked to respira- tory and cardiac hospital admis- sions. •Eliminating just two short car talps to school and home each day will reduce about 250kg of Carbon Dioxide per year. •Ontario's transportation sector* contributes 30%of our total Carbon Dioxide(CO2)emissions. Carbon Dioxide is one of the prominent green house gases that are linked to global warming. improve our Each car produces about three and a half times its weight in Carbon Dioxide (CO2)per year. How do we feel about travelling to school? �a A British study conducted by the Policy Studies Institute showed that in 1971,80%of school children between`the age of 7 and 8 traveled to school on their own. By the year 1990,only 9%were allowed to travel on their own. The most prominent reason sited was the fear of traffic dangers. The history of Active and Safe Routes to School A Walk a Child to School Day: In 1976 the Danish City of Odense launched the Safe Routes to School project in response to the large number of children killed by traffic collisions. Community mem- bers,teachers,politicians,and civil servants gathered to change dangerous streets into safe streets.Three years later,the annual accident rate was reduced by 86 percent. Since then,Safe Routes to School programs have started to appear around the world in places such as the United Kingdom,Australia,Japan,the United States and nowin Canada. Across Canada,32 pilot projects are paving"t#e way for safer transportation to our schools. Glydetl[est City has been promoting this program in the Tororito' a with 10 schools actively participating.)3y the eiia obi the year,20 of Toronto's schools will have jolued the per. and organised Walking School Busses.

Barrie, Clerk Municipality of Clarington 40 Temperance Street - Bowmanville, Ontario L1C 3A6 Dear Ms. Barre: October I'- 7'has been designated World Breastfeeding Week. World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated across Canada to honor breastfeeding women and the contribution they make. This year devotes special attention to the cost savings to the health care system when Canadian mothers choose to breastfeed. Breastfeeding: The Best Investment is the theme of World _ Breastfeeding Week 1998. Numerous studies have been carried out which demonstrate that breastfeeding reduces the risk of illness in both mothers and infants,both rich and poor, during infancy and into adulthood. -- Recent Canadian reports point to profound reductions in hospital admissions for breastfed infants. The real value of breastfeeding cannot be measured in dollars and cents but is just one of the many societal benefits which accrue when women breastfeed. The support you lent to women and children by proclaiming World Breastfeeding Week last year was greatly appreciated. Once again, we are asking the Municipality of Clarington to pledge support for breastfeeding women and children by proclaiming October I'- 7'as World Breastfeeding Week in the Municipality of Clarington. We look forward to your positive response and hearing how Ajax will make World.Breastfeeding---- Week a success. i�i S"y" M i.1 TI ON Sincerely, ",, r Janet Petryshyn, Member Durham Region Breastfeeding Coalition — 1615 Dundas Street East, Whitby Mall, Suite 210 Whitby, Ontario LIN 2L1 1 - 800 - 841-2729 -- ---- COUNCIL DIRECTION D_t2 46 PIS 436 August 21, 1998 — Mayor&Members of Council c/o.

My family and I have lived in the Waverley Gardens area for 26 years and have discovered that over the years the traffic has increased dramatically in that time. It is extremely difficult to make a left turn onto Highway#2 from Roenick Drive at almost any time of the day but particularly during rush hour. When returning home from downtown Bowmanville it can sometime be quite dangerous trying to turn into Roenick from the highway. As a pedestrian it is very nerve-wracking trying to cross the road to walk either up the hill to Waverley Road or walk up the pathway to Old King Street West as traffic can be coming at you from all sides. I hope that you will please consider putting this proposition to the appropriate authorities before a very serious accident occurs. Thank vou. i r Yours truly, r , w T l Olive Simpson j !

This day is a celebration of the accomplishments of more than 10,000 co-operatives, credit unions and caisse populairs from coast to coast. This year's theme is "Cooperation . . . Now more than ever!" In changing and challenging times, we need the services that co-operatives provide, the communities that they _ support and the concern they show for the people who own and control them. In the past we have been fortunate to have the Council of Clarington declare this day "Credit Union Day" by way of proclamation. We would respectfully request that Council once again give consideration to making this proclamation. Auto Workers Community Credit Union is proudly celebrating 60 years of service to their Members. their families and the community. As part of the co-operative system we combine effective service with a unique concern for people. Credit union's represent economic democracy in its truest form, putting the control of major -- business entities into the hands of the people they serve. More than 135,000 people are employed by co-operatives and credit unions from coast-to-coast. And with more than $100 billion dollars in assets, co-operative businesses represent a major force in the Canadian economy. Now more than ever, with economies and communities in transition, the value of co-operatives and credit unions shines through.

I will also require your assistance in bringing this matter to the attention of your Council colleagues at your next meeting. On Wednesday, August 5, 1998, a tractor-trailer, travelling on Highway 17, near Sudbury and carrying 40,000 pounds of explosives, hit a rock cut, caught fire and exploded. While no one was injured or killed, this horrific accident caused incredible damage. Seismologists say the explosion registered 2.2 on the Richter Scale. The force of the blast blew a crater 15 feet deep and destroyed 100 feet of highway. Debris from the blast damaged homes several kilometres away. The accident could have had tragic consequences. Explosive materials are transported along every major road and highway in this province. In other words, this accident could have happened in your community. I have written letters to the Provincial Minister of Transportation and the Federal Minister of Transport, urging them to call a public inquiry into the tractor-trailer accident, which has left many unanswered questions regarding the transport of dangerous cargo. I have enclosed copies of both letters for your information, along with a copy of a petition currently being circulated. As legislators, we must ensure that public safety is never compromised. The Regional Municipality of Sudbury and the Town of Walden, which represent the communities affected by the tractor-trailer accident, have recently passed resolutions supporting my call for a public inquiry. 2 To that end, I require your assistance. I would ask that your council pass either a similar resolution or write a letter of support for a public inquiry at your next meeting. I kindly ask that you send it to my Sudbury office by fax or mail as soon as possible. The required mailing information is listed above. 1 will then gather the resolutions and letters and collectively present them to the Minister of Transportation and the Minister of Transport. We must do our utmost to ensure that all hazardous materials being transported on our local roads do not endanger the lives of our constituents. The provincial government must call a public inquiry into the Highway 17 tractor-trailer explosion. I conclude with one final thought. The reality is that we were fortunate this time. We must learn from our fortune now, not from the residents of Ontario's misfortune next time. Should you require additional information, please contact me at (705) 675-1914. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. Sincerely, Rick Bartolucci, M.P.P.

Hon. Tony Clement, Minister, 3 rd Flr. Ferguson Block, 77 Wellesley St. West, TORONTO, ON. M7A 1Z8 Dear Minister: As you may be aware, on Wednesday, August 5, 1998, at approximately 8:50 p.m., a tractor- trailer truck carrying a variety of explosives was involved in a single vehicle accident on Highway 17 West. The vehicle's contents exploded causing the obliteration of a 100 foot section of the Highway. The shock wave resulting from the explosion broke doors, windows, &awes and soffits on several houses in both the immediate and distant areas. The blast was so severe, the earth shook more than ten kilometres away. Fommately, Munster, no one was killed in this explosion. Indeed, the driver was very lucky to have the support and tenacity of a passerby,Mr. Ed Wyrwas, who pulled the jarred door open m order to free the driver before it exploded. Minister, I have real concerns about the incident, about what caused the accident, about the nature of the materials found on the truck, about the manning of such a vehicle, about what is allowed to be transported on the highways of Ontario, about the filing of emergency plans with the Ministry regarding the transportation of such cargo, about the prptections-in place for the residents of Ontario who are in close proximity to vehicles carrying such destructive materials, -- about the exterior markings on vehicles carrying these types of materials and where these markings are located, about the mixture of explosives found in tractor-trailers being driven across Ontario's highways, about the restrictions your Muustry places on companies who haul this type of cargo and about the precautions your hImist y takes to ensure potential disasters don't happen. Munster, I am asking you to initiate the process for a public inquiry into this accident so that the public can learn first hand what the answers to the above questions, as well as the many other questions the residents of my Community have regarding this incident. Equally, though, in importance, the questions of what is being allowed to be driven and transported on the roads of Ontario and the safe guards in place and the adequacy of our laws and regulations regarding the transporting of such materials must have public input. NEnister, we were lucky, this time. Let us learn from this incident and with a public inquiry we may get recommendations to insure that this type of horrific incident doesn't happen again. Minister, let me put this into perspective for you to give you a sense of the seriousness of this issue. The transport-trailer truck contained more explosives, in weight, than the two car bombs which caused massive destruction in front of the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Those two explosions caused roughly 80 deaths and several hundred injuries. Munster, had this truck crashed a few kilometres down the road, we would be experiencing a disaster which, potentially, could have been much worse than those car bombing incidents. The transport-trailer truck which exploded carried water-based TNT,AMEX, ammonium nitrate mixed with fuel oil, and another liquid explosive. This, to me, warrants that type ofpublic inquiry which will not only answer the questions about this accident but may insure that this type of potential disaster is avoided in the future. - Minister, that section of Highway 17 is.still closed. The damage is still there, the search for -- unexploded materials is still on, traffic is still having to be re-routed and the questions the public _ have are still weighing, heavily, on their minds. So, too, is the thought of what could have been had this accident occurred a few kilometres away. Please call a public inquiry into this incident. I look forward to your quick response and your quick action. Y trilly, Rick BartoluccL M.P.P.

Collenette, P.C., M.P. Minister of Transport c/o Place de Ville—Tower C 330 Spark Street, 29th Floor Ottawa, Ontario K1A ON5 Dear Minister. As you are aware, on Wednesday, August 5, 1998, a tractor-trailer truck carrying a variety of explosives was -- involved in a single vehicle accident on Highway 17 West. I am sure that by this time you have been briefed by Transport Canada officials about this incident. Minister, you may be aware that I have requested the Ontario Minister of Transportation to call a public inquiry into this incident. I believe the severity of this incident requires that a full public inquiry be held. I have requested this from the Ontario Minister because he is directly responsible for truck safety in Ontario. I am requesting either of two possible scenarios at this time. I am asking that you support my request for the Ontario Transportation Minister to call a public inquiry. I believe that the safety of truck transportation, regardless of what the truck contains, is clearly a Provincial jurisdiction and because of that the Ontario Transportation Minister should be calling the public inquiry. However, since the transportation of dangerous goods is a federal jurisdiction, I am requesting that you call the public inquiry if the Minister of Transportation for the Province of Ontario does not deem this incident one of safety on Ontario highways. Frankly Minister, the people of the Sudbury district, in particular the Town of Walden and the Regional Municipality of Sudbury don't want a jurisdictional fight between governments, they want a public inquiry. Please support my call for a public inquiry or enforce Section 21 Subsection 1 of the Act and initiate that process immediately. I look forward to your quick response. Yours truly, Rick Bartolucci. M.P.P. Sudbury PETITION TO THE ONTARIO LEGISLATURE Whereas a tractor- trailer truck carrying a variety of explosives was involved in a single vehicle accident on Highway 17 West, near Sudbury, causing an explosion which destroyed a 100 foot section of the highway and created a crater 15 feet deep; Whereas a shock wave, resulting from the explosion broke doors, windows, frames and soffits on houses, causing significant personal and property damage; Whereas the residents of Ontario have the right to know what emergency plans are in place when dangerous cargo is being transported on our highways; Whereas the residents of Ontario have a right to know what protections are in place for residents who live in close proximity to vehicles carrying destructive materials; Whereas the residents of Ontario have the right to know what restrictions and precautions the Ministry of Transportation places on companies who haul dangerous cargo; Therefore be it resolved that we the undersigned petition the Ontario Legislature to demand that the Mike Hams Government call a public inquiry into this accident in order to make recommendations that will ensure this type of horrific accident does not happen again and to answer the many questions people of Northern Ontario have. NAME (PRINT) ADDRESS SIGNATURE MONDAY,AUGUST 10, 1998 0 'Bartolucci calls f or inquiry into explosion r on BY BOB VAILLANCOURT Star Stan wrcar Sudbury MPP Rick Bartolucci is calling for a public inquiry into an explosion last week in which a transport truck carrying 40,000 pounds of explosives left the roadway and blew up on Highway 17. No one was injured in the blast which spread debris over a wide area and demolished the trans- port. In a letter to Ontario Transport Minister Tony Clement,Bartoluc- cl said the truck was carrying more explosives,in weight,than the two car bombs„ ,<. used to blow up the i. American emba- sales in Kenya and i47 R Tanzania last week. A public inquiry would tell the pub- Bartoluccl lic what caused the accident, the na- ture of the materials found on the truck,what is allowed to be trans- ported on the highway,the King of emergency plans when carry- ing such a cargo, protections in place for people who live along the transport's route, the mark- ings of the vehicle's content,and ministry restrictions regarding such loads. The blast left a hole in Highway 17 about 30 metres long and.four metres deep. "The blast was so severe, the earth shook more than 10 kilome- tres away,"said Bartolucci. ' A public inquiry would provide answers to a number of ques- tions, including what is allowed to be driven on Ontario highways, the safeguards in place and the adequacy of our laws and regula- tions for transportation,said the Sudbury MPP. "Had this truck crashed a few kilometres down the road, we would be experiencing a disaster which, potentially, could have been much worse" than the American embassy bombings, which killed 80 and injured sever• al hundred,said Bartolucci. A decision is expected today as to when the 100-foot section of Highway 17 west of Sudbury will reopen,said the Ontario Provin- cial Police. A crew continued to remove debris Sunday while the Ministry of Transportation tackled road repairs for the two westbound lanes that were heavily damaged by the blast. The explosion,which occurred about 8:20 p.m. Wednesday, was felt at homes throughout the Walden area. The black mush- room cloud could be seen several kilometres away. The transport truck involved in the incident had earlier picked up a load of mining industry explo. awes in Coniston and was head- ing to the Hemlo gold mines in northwestern Ontario. The transport truck hit a rock cut about 20 kildmetres west of Sudbury and caught fire, say police. The driver, Peter John Sharp, was rescued from the vehicle by passing motorists.He is recover• ing at St.Joseph's Health Centre in Sudbury. Until the highway is reopened, both eastbound and westbound traffic is being re-routed- via Regional Road 55. COUNCIL DIRECTION D-18 P . A. C . K.

There is a huge disparity in funding by the Ministry of Health (MOH) for children's rehabilitation services. Children's Funding - MOH No. of Clients Amount per Centre (only) (centre based) childlper year Ottawa $3,473,000 1,219 - $2,849 - CTC Thames Valley - $ 5,208,000 2,736 $ 1,904 London - Niagara $ 1,693,000 917 $ 1,846 CTC Erinoak- $ 2,852,000 1,576 $ 1,810 Mississauga Five Counties - $ 2,022,404 1,396 $ 1,449 Peterborough Grandview - $ 1,583,000 2,179 $ 726 Durham Region • All numbers in the chart were obtained from the audited annual reports of the various children's treatment centres for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1996. 2. If Grandview received just the average amount per child in funding ($1,579) as other Centres, in 1996 its funding would have more than doubled to $ 3,480,000. And, for 1997 the funding would have been $4,127,000. Page 2 P.A.C.K. Fact Sheet - Children's Services - Durham Region 3. All children's treatment centres are finding it difficult to cope. Their budgets remain frozen for a fifth straight year, while at the same time the number of children needing services increases, and their basic operating costs such as hydro, water, etc. also rise. But........ No other children's centre is impacted as severely as Grandview by the growth in population. According to Statistics Canada, the population growth between 1981 and 1991 in Ontario was 17%. In Durham it was 44%, consisting primarily of young families. Durham Region's child population as a percentage of the general population is the highest in the province at 31% or 142,170 of a total population of 458,616. This is why Grandview had over 900 referrals last _- year alone. 4. Children referred to Grandview by their doctors are waiting months for therapy. The large numbers of children needing services and the insufficient operating dollars at Grandview means disabled children in Durham are receiving far less in healthcare services than children in all other parts of the province. The average caseload per therapists in children's treatment centres average between 55-60. Grandview therapists are carrying more than twice that number. Brantford 37 cases per therapist _ Windsor 45 Algoma 53 Sudbury 55 Niagara 67 Ottawa 74 _ Sarnia 82 Grandview 142 Page 3 P.A.C.K. Fact Sheet - Children's Services - Durham Region 5. Grandview is operating a "bare bones" operation. The under-utilized Centre has no money or staff to provide programs or supports which are available at all other children's treatment centres around the province and are crucial for the development of special needs children. Programs and supports such as: + Augmentative Communication Services are offered in Centres such as Thunder Bay, Mississauga, Sarnia, Peterboro, Kitchener, .Ottawa, Niagara, etc. Grandview does not have this service. Therapeutic Recreation Services such as: Music Therapy, Aquafit, Kinesiology (Dance); Theatre; Folk & Country Dancing; Sledge Hockey Physiotherapy Gymnastics and Wheelchair Basketball are available at Centres in Kent, Mississauga, Sarnia, Peterboro, Kitchener, etc. Grandview cannot afford to' provide any of these services. Life Skill Development Programs like Self Esteem Building; School Readiness; Peer Acceptance; Pre-Teen Independence Programs, etc. are available at all centres, but not Grandview. Computer Clubs, Summer Camps & Mentoring programs are operated by most centres, but Grandview does not have the resources to provide these. d� Respite Care is available in Centres such as Sault Ste. Marie, Kent, Mississauga and others. Grandview does not have this service. �o Autism Programs are available in many communities, but there are no comprehensive services provided at Grandview or anywhere in Durham Region for autistic children. r 14 Stargell Drive -- Whitby Ontario UN 7X2 18 August 1998 Mr. Roger Anderson - Chair The Regional Municipality of Durham 605 Rossland Road East Whitby Ontario L1 N 6A3 Dear Mr. Anderson: I am writing on behalf of Parents in Action for Challenged Kids (PACK) regarding the critical shortage of health services available for special needs children in Durham Region. We are writing to you and your Council because this situation is being exacerbated by the rapid growth occurring in the Region of young families. __- PACK comprises parents and caregivers of children with diagnoses such as cerebral palsy, autism, downs syndrome and chronic arthritis (any many others), who have been referred by their pediatricians to Grandview Children's Centre to receive health care services. But due to historical underfunding, a budget freeze - for the past five years on Children's Treatment Centres (CTC's), combined with the high growth in this Region of young families, our children are either on.waiting lists for many months, or receiving very limited and sporadic therapy services. This escalating situation is creating a health risk for our children. Although we recognize it is the province that is responsible for health care funding, we are writing to you and members of the Regional Council because the Region and the eight municipalities which your councillors represent, do have control over the rapid growth occurring in Durham. PACK has spent many months trying to get the Ministry of Health to understand and address our situation, but it has been to no avail. To the government, Grandview and other CTC's simply do not fit properly into any of their organizational charts. Grandview was removed five years ago from the Institutions Branch of the Ministry so they are noneligible for the growth funding hospitals in the Region are now receiving. And, although they are in the Long Term Care Branch of the Ministry, they have been excluded from the new money that is going to the Community Care Centres. Page 2 For our children, obtaining the physiotherapy, occupational therapy and socialization skills they receive at Grandview is crucial if they are to develop into independently functioning adults. These children cannot get their therapy at Oshawa General or Ajax Pickering Hospitals. The hands-on, complex therapeutic services they require are also not available through Durham Access to Care. The health care services provided at Grandview, which are critical for our children's development, are simply not available anywhere else in this community! It has been five years since the government froze the funding on children's - treatment centres pending a review that has yet to begin. Now there is a vague promise by Elizabeth Witmer or a massive review, not just of CTC's, but of all children's services over five different ministries. This will obviously take years to complete and there is no guarantee of any action, even after its completion. For an underserviced area like Durham, this review is not the answer-we need an immediate solution. Our children cannot afford to wait while the government sorts out how and who will deliver health care services to disabled children. What is -- needed is growth funding for Grandview Children's Centre, but this is an option the government will not consider. So perhaps another solution is to put a halt on the growth of residential development in the Region to prevent this situation from worsening. Member of PACK are not anti-development. We simply have run out of solutions to this problem. Perhaps the only way to get the provincial government to address this issue is to stop housing development in Durham until the province's funding for children's services keeps pace with the growth. For those of us who are living in the Region with disabled children, it is upsetting to think of all the young families moving to Durham and what it will mean-to their families should they have children with special needs. No-one ever thinks it will happen to them and if it does, living in a community where the therapy and supports your child desperately needs are not available, only worsens what is already a very difficult situation. We would appreciate your consideration of our suggestion and any assistance you or your Council can give to help resolve this predicament would be greatly welcomed.

OF Cl- '�1� S of ICI The Town of Clarington 40 Temperance St. Bowmanvil le Ontario L1C 3A6 Attention: Mayor Hamre Once again we as residents are constantly reminded that our Town of Clarington is growing at a pace that no one could possibly imagine. This would indicate that with this growth inevitably means more children, youths. What is out there for these youths? Has this been thought of while the Town is fluorishing in taxes and more taxes collected through all the new housing? We can't just be expected to live here, we needs things to do! I am aware that some thought has been put into creating a new Youth Centre, located on Church St. , have you actually been there to see how it' s run, or have you just seen reports? This- I'm curious to know, because I have 2 teenage children who have attended this group, and from what I've heard I'm not sure I want - them attending it again until it's properly supervised. Apparently, this Youth Group is being run by volunteer youths, which I agree is a positive approach, but there isn't any daily adult supervision to assist -.. these volunteers, so when the volunteers decide to close up shop they do so, occasionally announcing where the next "drinking location" is for the evening! That' s what I call an encouraging thought for our youths, don't you? There are many other events that have gone on, but my list would be endless. I 'm not totally disapproving of this idea, it' s a start, but I think it needs a lot more planning. One of my ideas perhaps would be to incorporate college students who need the experience, and what would be a better way to learn than hands on in their own community. At the present time The Youth Centre has been closed for many apparent reasons, perhaps if things were better planned - this wouldn't have happened, and the youths of Clarington would have a place to be. Page 2 Town of Clarington As a concerned parent, taxpayer, business person I would like to see this problem resolved. We have a beautiful town, lets keep the kids safe, happy and involved, keeping in mind that they are our "Future" .

The Town's proclamation recognizes the importance of agriculture in communities such as ours. It coincides with the Province proclaiming the same week as "Ontario Agriculture Week", pursuant to the Ontario Agriculture Week Act, 1998. This legislation was passed on June 25, 1998.

Carried Defeated C1 Tied(Lost)p Mayo COUNCIL DIRECTION D-23 D PIS 199 AUG 2 1 1998 YAUNiGIPALITY OF CLARINGTON MAYGR'S OFFICE August 18, 1998 Hand Delivered Mrs. Diane Hamre Mayor Municipality of Clarington 40 Temperance Streetq ' Bowmanville, Ontario L1 C 3A6 Dear Mrs. Hamre: We have enjoyed living in Enniskillen for the.past year and, in particular, the overall quality of life in the Municipality of Clarington. We would like to inform your office of a daily traffic pattern on Durham Rd. #3 (also known as Concession #8) in Enniskillen (from Old Scugog Rd. to Hwy. #57) - which concerns the safety and well-being of its residents. The Problem There is a high number of hauling/dump trucks traveling eastbound on Durham Rd. #3 through Enniskillen from Monday to Saturday during the months of April to -- October. These are large industrial trucks, such as 12 to 22 wheelers and tandems which are likely going to the gravel quarries. For example, in one day alone we actually counted 160 hauling trucks beginning at 4:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. (see attached Chart#1). This staggering number of 160 hauling trucks in a single day is totally unacceptable. In addition, our safety concern is that these hauling trucks are unable to stop quickly and there is no shoulder on Durham Rd. #3 from Old Scugog to Potters Lane_ There is a pedestrian sidewalk approximately 10 feet away from this road frequented by babies in strollers, toddlers on tricycles and in wagons, children on bikes, families out for a walk or enjoying ice cream cones, people walking their -- dogs, carrying their groceries from the general store and going to their mailbox, and even the occasional jogger and power walker. -2 - In addition, the noise of these heavy metal dump trucks barreling through our — neighbourhood is abrasive and intrusive. We are rudely awakened each morning at 4:00 a.m. by the assaulting sounds of their loud motors, grinding gears, screeching brakes and banging metal. — We believe there are many other more appropriate roads for these hauling trucks. Our peaceful hamlet is a residential neighbourhood which has been disrupted by - what appears to be a major thoroughfare for commercial hauling. Enniskillen's Future _ What is Enniskillen's Future? There is a new housing development being built _ with approximately 20 custom homes. Obviously developers are promoting and building Enniskillen with the municipality's approval as a residential area suitable for families and children of all ages. We believe that heavy traffic of commercial hauling trucks is not suitable for residential neighbourhoods. Our Point of View As taxpayers, homeowners and parents of two young boys, we find it unacceptable that this annoying problem is something.we should "get used to". With property taxes rising, we believe we have the right to seek improvement in our quality of life. Our Goal for the Type of Information We Provided Herein After much consideration about what kind of information you might need, we decided that our goal was to provide statistical evidence which would be more useful and helpful in responding to this pressing situation. Therefore, we decided to randomly select a business day and count each and every industrial hauling truck that passed our house which fronts Durham Rd. #3 (see Chart#1). While it seems like a daunting task, in the end, the results clearly demonstrate the problem. As you will see, we counted 160 hauling trucks on August 13, 1998 which did not include local business trucks (such as electrical), delivery trucks to our local general store (such as dairy), personal use trucks and farming trucks or tractors. - 3 - Therefore, you'll find enclosed the following: • Chart#1 - a numerical chart showing the number of hauling trucks broken down on an hourly basis • Chart#2 - a graph illustrating the results from the numerical chart • a video tape showing hauling truck activity on August 13, 1998 from 4:00 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. as evidence. In Summary - Our Issues Are With the Enniskillen school starting in two weeks, there will be a significant increase in children and parents walking and bicycling on Durham Rd. #3 who will be at risk. To summarize, our issues are: — 1. The safety of our family and neighbourhood friends. 2. The preservation of a hamlet for enjoyable residential living. 3. Raising property taxes without raising our quality of life in Enniskillen. 4. The noise factor is abrasive and intrusive to an otherwise peaceful area. 5. The number of hauling trucks potentially increasing next week, next month or next year. What other trucking industry will try Durham Rd. #3 as a shortcut to avoid traffic on other roads? 6. The duration of time we are subjected to this problem is 15 hours as day. We have only 9 hours of quiet living and peace of mind. 7. The future of Enniskillen. Is there one? 8. The future of Durham Road#3 - a major thoroughfare for trucking industries? Our Suagestions We would like the appropriate authorities to pursue redefining Durham Rd. #3 in Enniskillen by: 1. Limiting it to local traffic and local business only. 2. Reroute large industrial hauling/dump trucks to Taunton Rd., Highway#2, Highway#401, or even Concession 6 or 7 which are lined by open fields and farmland. In the meantime, perhaps the following suggestions could be a deterrent: 3. Lower the weight restriction from 5 tonnes per axile. 4. Remove 80 kmh sign at Potters Lane which will maintain speed limit at 50 kmh to at least Highway#57. -4 - 5. Police observation for potentially speeding hauling trucks and failure to come to a complete stop at the stop sign on Old Scugog and Durham Rd. #3. In Closing We hope you understand our cause for concern with this problem. We do not wish to impede on any Canadian business, such as the hauling truck industry. However, we feel compelled to help Canadians live more peacefully in their own home town. If we can be of any further assistance or answer any questions you may have, you're welcome to call us, Bill and Denise Walker, at our home number, _ We look forward to your response. Yours very truly,all and Denise Walker - Encls. NOTE: Video available in Clerk's Department.

There are dozens more from the entire Clarington community, some well known, others _ now forgotten that could be included in a local Hall of Fame. The physical hall itself could be created with government funding in several different ways. Concept One -- Using existing, publicly accessible buildings, plaques with photos/drawings and descriptions could be displayed under the heading'Clarington Hall of Fame' . Each category could be located in a suitable building to match. This means that, to view the entire hall of fame,people would have to travel around their community discovering not only the many fascinating members who have made a lasting impression but, as an added extra they would also discover more of their area and the facilities it has to offer. For example, the sports category could be housed at the Garnet Rickard Complex. Arts & Literature at the Libraries, Politics at the Municipal Administrative Centre, Culture/History at the museums etc. Concept Two Have all the categories displayed together in one existing building. For example the Municipal Administrative Centre. Concept Three Permanent engraved stones located at intervals along the Clarington portion of the Waterfront Trail System. - The First Step _. If the Council agrees that this is a valuable project and endorses the Clarke Museum's proposal, the Board is willing to work closely with Municipal staff to create a detailed submission for the Millennium Bureau of Canada. The next funding deadline that we could send a submission for a grant to cover the-costs for this project is May 31st, 1999. We feel confident that the Clarington Hall of Fame to mark the coming millennium would be ready to unveil its first inductees in the year 2000. 1l IV1111CL1111U111 1 aluwlauip 1 lut;laul littp://www.iiiillcil illuiTi.gc.ca/parttier_c.liti Canada and the Millennium Sharing the n :, Memory ... � Canada Millennium Shaping t1�e lac i Partnership Program ,., Dream CANADA MILLENNIUM PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM - Canada APPLICATION GUIDE If you wish to obtain a hard copy of the information package about the Canada Millennium Partnership Program, please call our toll-free number. 1-888-774-9999.

Phases are fixed periods of time, during which the applications are received before being assessed once the deadline closes. Within each phase, funding is available for projects ranging from community-based activities to national or international activities. Eligible costs are those expenses reasonably incurred for the undertaking of an approved project or activity. In certain circumstances, you will be required to produce receipts, over the course of the project, as a condition of receiving funding. Some costs, however, are not eligible for funding: for example, the cost of developing your proposal- the cost of purchasing land, associated real-estate and other fees; and financing charges and interest payments. Deadlines for Applications Five deadlines have been established for receipt of applications during the three-year life span of the Program. The deadlines are: Phase 1.- June 19, 1998 Phase 2: October 31, 1998 Phase 3: May 31, 1999 Phase 4: October 31, 1999 Phase 5: March 1, 2000 To be considered, your application must be postmarked by the date of the applicable deadline. How Your Application Is Assessed =_ Applications are assessed by the Millennium Bureau of Canada against the criteria set out below. During the three-year life span of the Program an overall balance of projects by region and theme will be sought. During the assessment process, you may be contacted by the Bureau and asked to clarify information or to submit additional information or supporting documentation. Applications received before the deadline for each phase of the Program are assessed against each other and compete for funds allocated for that phase.The Bureau's decisions are made only after the deadline for each Program phase has passed- Before a final decision is made, the Millennium Bureau of Canada may seek input and advice from others, including local members of Parliament, federal and provinciallterritorial government agencies, and municipal and community leaders. Information provided will be dealt with in accordance with provisions of the Privacy Act and the Access to Information Act. In cases where a number of similar applications are received from a particular community or region, the Bureau will encourage the consolidation of projects. Funding will likely be given to only one project of a particular nature within a single community or region. Assessment Criteria What Can Help Make Your Application Successful Your application should clearly demonstrate: of 07/07/98 09:1 1:2 anada Millennium Partnership Program http://www.miIlennium.gc.ca/partner_e.html t4 how your project focuses on one or more Program themes. (See above under Themes.) t4 how your project is consistent with your organization's aims and objectives. r4 how the success of your project will be measured.

Reconsideration for Another Phase In some cases, an application may meet all the eligibility criteria, but may still be unsuccessful in receiving financial assistance under the Program. Such situations may occur, for instance,when funds allocated for the given phase of the Program have been fully committed; or when your organization has already received Program funding for other millennium projects. Reconsideration for funding during the next Program phase will be automatic only if you have indicated this preference in Part C of your application form. Projects that do not meet Program criteria will not be reconsidered in a later phase. How You Will Be Notified of Results Once a decision has been made concerning your application, you will receive a letter by mail. The letter will inform you of one of the following decisions: r4 Your project has been accepted for funding and/or an endorsement.

THAT Report CD-41-98 be received; and 2. THAT a copy of Report CD-41-98 be forwarded to Harold Jukic, The Club Carib, Tim Coffey and other interested parties. BACKGROUND: On 9 August 1998, a large "event" was held at Cedar Park, which resulted in several complaints to municipal staff and the Durham Regional Police. Staff have investigated this matter and spoken to the Regional Police and wish to update Council on their findings. The event was billed as a "Family Picnic" held by Oshawa's Club Carib and hosted at Cedar Park. This event has been held each year for the last twenty-five years and has grown in popularity each year. The Club looks after advertising and promotion. Those going to the "Picnic" had their own section of the Park set aside for their exclusive use. The Park charges a standard admission fee for all persons using the facility. A portion of that fee was paid back to the Club for each adult attending the picnic. The Regional Police are familiar with the Club Carib. The group has been around for a long time and is a respected organization in the Oshawa area. Both the Park and the Club freely admit that something got out of control this year. By 4:00 p.m. there were already over 5,000 people in the Park. The line up was described as huge. At that point the Park staff gave up trying to control the entrance of people. There is no count of how many people there were on site in the end. Cars were parked all along Cedar Park Road, the 6t' and 7"' Concessions as far west as Highway 57 and as far east as Middle Road. Access along the Concession Roads and Cedar Park Road was severely restricted. Report CD-41-98 - 2 - September 14, 1998 Around 8:00 p.m. there was a sudden thunderstorm and people began to leave the Park very quickly. Park staff responsible for directing traffic quickly lost control of the situation. - Staff have met with the Durham Regional Police to discuss what happened and what can be done to prevent this in the future. Both staff and Inspector Smith have spoken to the organizers of the Club Carib, the owner of Cedar Park, Mr. Jukic and representatives from the Liquor Control Board about various matters concerning the event. Staff have learned the following: •. No liquor permit was ever issued, although whether or not one was specifically required given the nature of the event is still unclear. The Club actively discourages their members from bringing alcohol and the Park has signs posted prohibiting alcohol in the picnic areas. •. One local resident has reported to the Regional Police that his vehicle suffered minor damage as a result of an incident related to the event. -- •. The event has grown far larger than anything the Club intended and the Club President has told staff that the Club will be moving their event to another location next year as they feel they have outgrown the facilities at Cedar Park. There is some hope that in doing so the event may even shrink slightly and return to a more manageable size. • The owners of the Park indicated that the events and size of the crowd this year were totally out of character with previous years. There appeared to be two separate groups. The members of the Club arrived with their families around noon and later in the day a second larger and more aggressive group arrived. This year there were people from as far away as Montreal and Windsor. •. The Park was quite upset by what happened, but state that it will not happen again next year. The Park will be constructing a large water slide and pool on the property. This will have an impact on the total available lands for large functions such as the Club's picnic. Mr. Jukic has also indicated that as a result they will be limiting the size of events such as this in future. The Regional Police have expressed a concern that some people may show up next year expecting a party. Club Carib has indicated that they will be advertising locally to advise that the picnic is not taking place at Cedar Park. Inspector Smith has stated that they will be monitoring that particular weekend as a precaution. It is part of Cedar Park's routine operation to host events of this nature. By definition, a "special event" would have to be a one time incident where special precautions must be made. The use is out of character with the regular use of the property. This raises concern over the applicability of the Municipality's Special Events Licensing By-law as it relates to the Cedar Park property. As stated previously this particular event has been held each year for over twenty-five years. The Regional Police have expressed serious reservation about laying charges in this case. Report CD-41-98 - 3 - September 14, 1998 RECOMMENDATIONS The intent of the by-law.is to ensure that when large special events are held they are done so safely. The Club Carib's President has stated that the Club will not be returning to Cedar Park next year. Given the assurances of both the Club and Mr. Jukic, it is felt that charges would not be justified in this situation. Respectfully submitted: Reviewed by: - %Pa ' Oe, M.C.T. W.H.

It will be along the grass portion of Part 1 Plan 1OR-3368 and on the easterly fork of Part 4 Plan 1OR-3923 ONLY. The Ganaraska Forest Conservation Authority has requested we restrict horses from travelling the environmentally sensitive westerly portion of Part 4 Plan 1OR-3923; therefore access via this road is not available . Due to the fact that Bill & Shirley Stapleton have a land use agreement on a year by year basis with the Ganaraska Snowmobile Club to use the easterly fork of Part 4 Plan 1OR-3923 as a groomed snowmobile trail we would prefer no access to the Ganaraska Forest across the Stapleton property during the winter months when this agreement is in effect . The maintained roads to the east and west of the Stapleton property provide a much safer access during the winter as they are not part of the groomed snowmobile trails . If , however, you find-, it a necessity to use the east fork of Part 4 Plan lOR-3923 during the winter then the Ganaraska Snowmobile Club requires you post 3 or 4 CAUTION signs down BOTH sides of the trail identifying that the trail is used by both horses and snowmobiles . For the safety of both snowmobilers and horseback riders this is a reasonable requirement . These signs are to be posted immedia-tely after the first snow fall each year. As Bill Stapleton is a patrol officer for the Ganaraska Forest we would ask that anybody accessing the Ganaraska Forest across the Stapleton property ensure they have their Ganaraska membershiy each year as +-1-4S is a requirement for ALL individuals using the forest . If you need a membership application please ask . t`=e amount of runoff down tI: _ e aster l y for.. of Part 4 _ t an -3523 from the Ganaraska Forest during the s_rir_g, access will __ot be available to horses d :—Lng th;.s ti?11e of _.ear . it W=1i be cpe.ed at the dlscreti on of i Horses are to be kept on the designated trail and proper use of the gates a - pplied. No horses are to be taken around fences or over gates to avoid having to open and close gates . THIS ACCESS IS BEING EXTENDED AS A NEIGHBORLY PRIVILEGE NOT A RIGHT. ANY ABUSE OF THE ABOVE CONDITIONS HOWEVER COULD LOSE ACCESS FOR ALL . BEING RESPONSIBLE RIDERS AND CONSIDERATE NEIGHBORS IS ALL WE ASK. .yw L ""-.r."""'

Be aware that option 1 Provides NO access to the Gana aska Forest across any of the Stapletonz property . Option 2 provides access to the Ganaraska. Forest fo_ _;rcpr4 ' . owners only anu a :;azimum of 2 boarders across the Sta t_nle property as specified i.n the agreement. 6 . When all property owners are in agreement which option we ware to us,e_ it will be taker. to Irwin Hamilton (lawyer) to :�•_� drawn up for the benefit of all . A clear arrangement , agree6 to by all makes for good neighbours . 7 . If any property owne.r disagrees with the ownership to Part 1 PLAN 1OR-3368 it should be resolved immediately at that owiie�- expense. It is has been recommended by Irwin Hamilton that all property owners obtain a right of way from ?ill an,? Shirley Stapleton that will be registered on their prone=-tv deed, -thus eliminating any litigation problems in the future should any owner want to sell . The fee to register a right of way across Part 2 Plain 7OR-3368 to Concession Road 3 will :D:- at each property owners expense . d f J 1 OPTION 2 : Each property owner pays equal amount of $125 . 00 per year for- road grading, snow removal , and horseback riding access to the Ganaraska Forest in the summer and fall . Total contributions by all residents ($125 . 00 x 4 = $500 . 00 ) . As in option 1 if the road recuires gravelling the funds will be drawn from the pooled resources . If insufficient funds exist each resident will be required to contribute an equal portion. Access to the Ganaraska Forest for Horseback riding will be at the discretion of Bill and Shirley Stapleton. It will be along the grass portion_ of said road (Part- 1 Plan 1OR-3368) and on the easterly fork of Part 4 Plan 10"R-3923 ONLY. The Ganaraska . urns':_ Conservation Authority has requested we- restrict horses fro!-,, travelling the environmentally sensitive westerly portion of Part 4 Plan 1OR-3923; therefore access via this road is not available . Aviv abuse will mean the lose of use for all of this privilege. Due to the fact that the owners of Plan 1OR-3923 and !OR-3368 (Bi.l17- and Shirley Stapleton) give permission on a year by year basis to the Ganaraska Snowmobile Club to use the easterly fork of Part 4 Plan 1OR-3923 as a groomed snowmobile trail , horse access will not be available * in the whiter. Likewise, due to the amount of runoff down the easterly fork o: Part 4 Plan: 1OR-3923 from the Ganaraska Forest during the access will not be available to horses during this time of year . It will be opened at the discretion of Bill and Shirlev Stapleton when thev are satisfied the ground has dried sufficiently . Access to the Ganaraska Forest across the Stapleton property is at horseback rider ' s own: risk and at. no time will the Stapleton' s be responsible for any injuries that may occur .

ONCE AGAIN - ABUSE BY ONE WILL LOSE IT FOR ALL . THIS IS h PRIVILEGE NOT A RIGHT. 4398 8th Concession, Mr. and Mrs. Billy Stapleton, Dear Billy and Shirley: It appears that a situation has arisen which is of great concern to us. We would like to meet you to see if we can come to an agreeable solution. Limiting the use of the access road to the Ganaraska Forest which runs between Lots 11 and 12 north from the 8 th Concession of Clarke is detrimental to us and our families. This road is a public access road since it has been in use well over 100 years and still continues to be used for that purpose-to travel in and out of the Ganaraska Forest. We understand,upon legal consultation,that once there is proof that a road, owned by whomever,has been used by the public for over twenty years then this is considered a public access road and that a private landowner does not have the right to impede the movement by the public on it. It appears that this is what you are trying to do,by limiting the people who may use the road, controlling the access dependant on weather and season and to the type of transportation used as well as threatening to lock the gate to prevent all of us from using this road. We have no objection whatever to opening and closing the existing gate-that is certainly a reasonable expectation. We do not believe that we have caused harm to your property, but would . like to know if there is or are some incidents of which we are unaware. Causing damage is certainly not our intention. We understand that you, as a patroller for the Ganaraska Forest Conservation Authority, also enjoy the benefits of having such a valuable natural resource so available, and want you to know that we greatly appreciate it as well. Please call us within one week of receipt of this letter to let us know when you are available to iron out these difficulties. Hope to hear from you soon. , Your friend d neighbours, oZY LLB.,Q.C. �t MiEP40NE(905)gd3-6007 (905)M-8159 s I�Wirff=, FAX(904)915$4= BOX 37,5301 MAIN ST.. ORONO.ONTAfao COB:tb0 September Ist, 1996.

These persons and others have contacted me in this connection, expressing concern witb respect to the continuing availability of this access to the Ganaraska lands, in view of some of. the actions that have been take- by your clients in the recent past,' that could be considered as a blockage of the Public access, and also in view of the apparent reluctance of the local Municipal Authorities to recognize the existance of this- same roadway or access. For your further information I am enclosing file copies of letter that have been written by or on behalf of the individuals who have consulted, we in this connection, to your clients and to the Municipality of Claringtoa.

GENERAL AFFIDAVIT Province of ONTARIO Township of CLARKE County of DURHAM Municipality of CLARINGTON Before the undersigned, an officer duly commissioned by the laws of Ontario, on this 8t'day of September 1998,personally appeared BRUCE CHARLES CATHCART, who having been first duly sworn depose and say: The roadway between Lots 11 and 12 north of Concession 8 of the Township of Clarke, County of Durham in the Municipality of Clarington has been used as a public access road for over twenty years. I have used this roadway between the two Lots 11 and 12 before the Ganaraska Forest existed. I helped my mother and father, Wesley and Annie Cathcart, plant evergreens on the old Morton farm,being the north portion of Lot 12 presently owned by the Ganaraska Forest. We travelled using a team and wagon going up the easterly fork of the roadway and across the 9' Concession back down the westerly fork to the old Morton farm. Mr. Morton's son Dick is presently living on the 6' Concession of Clarke. This roadway was used instead of the road allowances to the west of Lot 12 and the east of Lot 11, because of the more unpassable terrain on these two road allowances. This road was the only access to these properties and branched east and west. The other two road allowances were never opened up. Jack Carscadden, in the late 1940's,travelled the easterly fork of the road to bring hay out of the top fields of Lot 11, as well as timber with a team and wagon in order to avoid the big hill on his property presently owned by Bryce and LaValley. Garland Cathcart and his father Allan Cathcart travelled the westerly fork; first his father driving horse and buggy and then Garland to reach property in this area to pasture his cattle in the spring. As the pastures became less in the summer,he moved the cattle down the westerly fork of the road to his other property located off the Ganaraska Road (Conc#7) known as the Reid Estates. I was employed by the Ganaraska Forest and approximately in 1954, I brushed the easterly fork out wider, coming down from Concession 9 in the north right through to Concession#8. AFFIDAVIT OF BRUCE CHARLES CATHCART Page Two Although still in use by the public, there were trees fallen across the road and the brush was growing in on the sides. They wished to have a more accessible roadway for the purpose of the fighting fires in the Ganaraska Forest. Around this same period of time the fire ponds were put in the forest under the supervision of Ed Youngman as he knew where the springs were located. Ron Hancock did most of the work using a six wheel drive and drag line for the pond on the easterly fork,travelling from the 8`h Concession Road to the job site. This made the easterly fork of the road more travelled than the westerly branch of the road, and approximately the early 1960's Garland Cathcart,my relative, had me take my tractor and wagon with a load of posts up the westerly fork of the road to his property off the 9t' Concession. It was important to him that I use a gas fired tractor up this roadway. He believed it could not be closed as it was travelled with modern transportation on this roadway. The roadway had been used for general transportation at this time, but very little in the wintertime because of the lack of population. In fact it is being travelled more in recent years by people on foot, horses, ATV's, bikes, and snowmobiles for access to the Ganaraska Forest.

TO : The Council of The Municipality of Clarington Re : Mast Road On February 7, 1991, a plan of survey was completed by my company, Brown & Coggan Ltd., of part of Lot 12, Concession 8, former Township of Clarke, now in the Municipality of Clarington, Regional Municipality of Durham, and deposited in the Registry Office as Plan 10R-3923. This survey is of Mast Road and its easterly and westerly forks, both of which lead into the Ganaraska Forest. In my expert opinion as an Ontario Land Surveyor, Part 4 on Plan 1 OR-3923 and Part 1 on Plan 1 OR-3368 were both portions of a public, travelled road known as Mast Road, and are both indicated as such on the respective surveys.

Should Old Mast Road be deemed public access on the section through the private land south of the Ganaraska Forest, the main trail that leads through to the Forest (referred to as the east trail) will not automatically be closed. As you are aware the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority is in the process of closing the west trail but the east trail is to remain open. As with all the trails in the Ganaraska Forest, staff of the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority will monitor the east trail. Should the east trail show signs of significant erosion or damage then closure of the trail will be considered at that time. I trust this is the information you required. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned. Yours truly Linda J.

LOA 1 EO August 10, 1998 To: Municipality of Clarington Council We, the undersigned, wish to have Clarington Council recognize the travelled common road between Lots 11 and 12, Concession 8, Clarke Township, which accesses the Ganaraska Forest from Concession 8 as a public access road because of the historical use of the road by the public. This road been used for more than 100 years by the public. It appears both in Tremains' Atlas and the Illustrated Northumberland Atlas of 1878 as Mast Road when it was used to transport the logs out of the Ganaraska Forest. It is not a path but a road which provides emergency fire access to the fire pond constructed for that purpose for the Ganaraska Forest. We are Ganaraska Forest Members and are very aware of what a valuable natural resource we have at our disposal. This road continues to be used as a road by the public to the present time. Affidavits can be provided to prove that this has been used as a road by the public for over the past twenty years which should ensure that this road be granted the recognition as a public access route. We have purchased our properties close to this access point specifically for the access to the Ganaraska Forest, and strongly believe that our property values will decrease if this access is closed off to us by the property owner who has threatened to do so. Both property owners and concerned users of this road wish to maintain their public right of access. Enclosed is a copy of proposal which this landowner has requested the other residents on this road sign. We are not questioning the ownership of this road at all. We are solely asking for swift action on the public access issue: This group seeking immediate action on this situation is composed of approximately 80% mature women who are seeking a resolution to this infringement of our and our families' rights. We have tried to work this out with the individual in question, but no satisfaction has resulted. See the enclosed letter which was sent to him requesting a meeting. If no recognition of the public right to access is forthcoming,thus making our property values decrease, we will be asking for reductions in the assessments for our properties. We will also be willing to pursue a lawsuit against this private individual for loss of enjoyment and loss of use of this road which by legal definition should be granted public assess status. August 1998 PETITION To: MunicipalitX of Clarington Council We, the undersigned, wish to have Clarington Council recognize the travelled common road between Lots 1 I and 12, Concession 8 Clarke Township,which accesses the Ganaraska Forest from Concession Road 8 as a public access road because of the historical use of the road by the public. ► This road been used for more than 100 years by the public. ► It appears both in Tremains's Atlas and the Illustrated Northumberland Atlas of 1878 as Mast Road when it was used to transport the logs out of the Ganaraska Forest. ► It is not a path but a road which provides emergency fire access to the fire pond constructed for that purpose for the Ganaraska Forest. ► We are Ganaraska Forest Members. ► It continues to be used as a road by the public to the present time. ► Affidavits can be provided to prove that this has been used as a road by the public for over the past twenty years which should ensure that this road be granted the recognition as a public access route.

Economic cutbacks make it difficult for the Municipality to make this a public road and assume maintenance for the full road,but this is NOT what we are asking. Our purpose is to continue travelling this road as an access to the Ganaraska and the "Public Access" designation would suit this purpose. This would result in the private landowner, through whose land the roads pass, removing the padlocked gate. This road is regarded by the Municipality as of November 17, 1986 on page 2 of Report No WD-91-86 that this is a"Yawn Road Allowance Y vu'tue of the evidence;that public fizms had been spent on the road many years ago:The Town currently""does maintain the south end of the"travelled road"to the seree two homes". On page 3 of the same report, the road is clestgnated as"an unimproved road as opposed to an unopened road": If this roadway was declared that it was not a road allowance and the town solicitor was directed by Public Works to write to the Stapleton advising them that this road is not owned by the municipality --why is there not a Public Work Report on file at Town Hall or GPA motion — recognizing such a transaction? No other property owner on the road was advised of such happenings and the landowners abutting the road involved must agree. It is our understanding that a municipal unimproved road cannot be blocked by a private landowner with a locked gate until all abutting landowners agree which they do not. The westerly fork of the Mast Road was closed by the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority, again being an unimproved road-but still a township road-there was record of a Resolution on the GPA minutes advising them of such. Should not the proper procedures on this closing have taken place, considering the environmental sensitivity of the area, and public notice posted for all to read in papers, etc. The easterly fork is the only access to the Ganaraska for full size vehicles such as fire truck, ambulance, and police. We feel that this is an extremely important safety issue. Time is of the essence in any emergency particularly if a person's life is in danger- a matter of a minute or two can make the difference between life or death. This concern has led us to contact the Fire Department, Durham Regional Police and Ambulance to make them aware of the obstruction on this road. This road lacks a sign designating its name. We would like a sign stating "Mast Road" to commemorate its' historical significance to this area. For safety reasons in locating the correct access to any landowners on the road or into the Ganaraska, this sign is essential. To accommodate adjacent landowners, a sign should be posted on the road so that all users are aware of the liabilities and status is unimproved.
