D-7 Dale Reagan, Managing Director, Co- operative Housing Federation of Canada,
advising of Transfer of Federal social housing programs. The Ontario
Government is seeking to enter into a Social Housing Agreement with Canada
Mortgage and Housing Corporation at the earliest opportunity. Such an
agreement would transfer control of federal social housing programs to the
Province, paving the way for their subsequent transfer to Ontario's Consolidated
Municipal Service Managers. It would also provide Ontario with the flexibility it
needs to reform those programs that it now administers, but in which the federal
government has a financial interest. They believe that it would be in the best
interest of municipalities if the unilateral federal co- operative housing programs
were excluded from any agreement between CMHC and the Province. They are
requesting municipalities to carry the argument to the Province and to the Federal
Government.

Public Library Week, October 19 — 24, 1998.

Valerie Dostie, 707 Waverley Road South, Bowmanville, LIC 3K3,
advised Council that the exemption to the Noise By-law which Blue Circle
Cement presently enjoys, is taking away the protection which they
desperately need and is putting their health in jeopardy. At 7:00 a.m. they
are awakened by the loud irritating noise of giant earth -moving machines
and the noise goes on until 7:00 p.m. six and sometimes seven days a
week. The odour of the diesel fumes has sometimes been so unbearable
that it has been necessary for them to leave home. Mrs. Dostie questioned
what type of harmful impurities may be in the soil that become airbourne
and enter into their bodies. She requested that the by-law exemption
either be revoked or that conditions and guidelines be put in place to
protect those individuals who live in near vicinity to the quarry.

Conference regarding Plan of Subdivision 18T-92014 — Northeast Courtice. The

a school site. Courtice area schools are already over capacity with
approximately 32 portables. We have written the municipality regarding
this issue a number of times dating back to 1992. The plan as it currently
exists provides for less than half a school site. Since we just became
aware of the draft plan conditions and the Ontario Municipal Board Pre -
Hearing, one meeting has been held with the landowner and one meeting
with Municipal Staff to explore solutions. They are asking the Ontario
Municipal Board to adjourn the Pre -Hearing for approximately 30 days to
allow further discussion with the developer and staff. He is requesting
that Council defer approval of the draft plan conditions for Subdivision
18T-92014 (Staff Report PD -107-98 — Item #8 of Report # 1) for

were set for the Robinson Ridge Development in Southwest Courtice in

Prior to registration of the plan, the owner shall make the necessary
Arrangements with the owners of adjacent lands so that the full six
acre school site is deliverable to the Kawartha Pine Ridge District

- - -along the road. He suggests closing the road at the south end of the baseball field

D-7 Dale Reagan, Managing Director, Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada,
advising of Transfer of Federal social housing programs. The Ontario
Government is seeking to enter into a Social Housing Agreement with Canada
Mortgage and Housing Corporation at the earliest opportunity. Such an
agreement would transfer control of federal social housing programs to the
Province, paving the way for their subsequent transfer to Ontario's Consolidated
Municipal Service Managers. It would also provide Ontario with the flexibility it
needs to reform those programs that it now administers, but in which the federal
government has a financial interest. They believe that it would be in the best
interest of municipalities if the unilateral federal co-operative housing programs
were excluded from any agreement between CMHC and the Province. They are
requesting municipalities to carry the argument to the Province and to the Federal
Government.

with a "Monstrous Booksale." Subsequently, the Clarington Public Board is
requesting the Council of the Municipality of Clarington to proclaim Ontario
Public Library Week, October 19 — 24, 1998.

QUARTERLY MEETING
SEPTEMBER 21, 1948 - ?3 j 2 Prl 1
There were 9 members in attendance:
Chairperson Herb Tink
Sec/Treas Deanna MacDuff
Hall Committee - Karen Dair
Clarence Bray
Rec. Committee - Rob Johanson
Park Committee - John McAlpine
Don Dair
Member at Large - Vi Ashton
Herb opened the meeting, and the minutes were read. Rob moved that the minutes be accepted as
read, seconded by Don, accepted. The financial statements were distributed. Karen moved that
the financial reports be accepted as presented, seconded by Rob, passed.
Paving
The paving was further discussed. We had a new quote to use hot asphalt and do the complete
lot. This quote was for $70,970.00. This figure is completely out of reach. Therefore, it has
been suggested that we get back to Ron Robinson and Mackie and Reid, and discuss our
concerns, and just have the area around the hall done. Apparently this can only be done to the
end of October. Rob moved that we should get new quotes from these two, verifying proper
grading and drainage, and ask for 3" of Rap. If this can be done for $12,000.00, then the work
will go ahead. This was seconded by Don Dair, and passed. Since there has been a discrepancy
in the measurement, Herb will verify the measurement, and mark off the area.
Recreation
Herb informed us that all went well with the children' s sports this summer, and the awards night
will be held on September 22, 1998.
Park
John informed us that Lawrence Wright did an excellent job of looking after die grass this year. It was
sprayed and fertilized and is looking very good. There have been a few tournaments this year, and die last
one will be oil September 27. The booth will also be closed at this time.
Hall
Karen infonued its that arrangements were made for die hall to be painted, and should be completed by the
end of September. The mg in the lower hall will be cleaned after tris work is done. There are some further
minor repairs to the washroom, which will be completed soon.
Park eamnsion.
Herb stated fiat with five children's soccer teams, it will soon be necessary to have a dedicated soccer
pitch. If it is required next year, we would not be able to do this. Therefore, die time has come to start
planning seriously as to what route we would like to take.
I-2
The sports at Mitchell's Comers has now come to an end, and Weir soccer pitch has been used on a part
time basis this year by Courtice. Herb said lie will look into the possibility of using this field as well until
our park can prepare for this need.
This would be a route that we could go for a while.
Since the cost to develop the back area will probably be prohibitive, our neighbor will be approached to see
if we could trade off some land and develop a soccer pitch in this area. Another alternative would be to put
floodlights around the baseball diamond, and utilize the one diamond for two games a night. This would
eliminate the north diamond for ball games during We week, and allow our own soccer pitch to be utilized
more fully.
These routes should be looked at more closely over the winter, and possibly set a plan in action for next
year. The alternatives will be brought up at the General Meefing.
Beef Dinner
Vi Ashton asked us if we would like to help out again at die Beef dinner on November 1, 1998. Everyone
was in favour.
General Meetine
The date for the General Meeting will be Thursday November 26, at 7:30 pm.
Don Dair moved that the meeting be adjourned.

Footnote to the minutes: Discussion with our insurance agent (September
21, 1998) indicated Kawaftha Conservation would not have a liability as a result
of providing funding to another group for a project.
1999 Budget Process
Acting -chair Murray asked each member what he or she thought would be appropriate with
regards to municipal funding for 1999. All but three members indicated that municipal funding
could not decrease and many thought that an increase, with justification, would be supported.
Acting -chair Murray emphasized the increasing role of and need for the conservation authority
due to the downloading of responsibility from the Province to the municipalities. He urged all
members to actively support conservation efforts at their Council. On the basis of the
discussion, there was general consensus that the Executive Committee should develop the
1999 draft budget based on conservation needs and that if an increase in municipal funding
were warranted in order to meet those "needs", it would probably receive support.
As part of the budget process, it was also recognized that employment contracts need to be
negotiated and authorization was given to do so.
Res. # 59/98 Moved by: Wayne Hutchinson
Seconded by: Troy Young
Resolved, That, the Chair, Vice -chair, and General Manager (Chair and Vice -chair for the

This letter is intended to serve as the Library Board's response to Council's September 21, 1998 resolution
informing the Library Board of the Council's decision regarding the Board's 1998 operating budget
presentation. That resolution included a request that the Library Board report back to Council on the
manner in which the approval of $100,000.00 over the 1997 base will impact on library services across the
municipality. The Board welcomes this opportunity to address the library budget with Council and indeed
encourages every opportunity to open avenues of dialogue which will result in increased communication
between the Library Board and Council.
The Library Board's initial request for an additional $174,966.00 over the 1997 level was based on past
experien:e plus the annualization of the full year of operation of the Courtice library service access point.
The Courtice library's performance has exceeded initial expectations and as a result library use in
Clarhtgton has increased by 39%. This increase is indeed something of which we can be very proud as use
is declining elsewhere in Ontario in general and Durham region specifically. This increase is even more
remarka*,le when one considers that the downloading from the Province has resulted in a reduction in our
financia': support from the Provincial government from $120,000.00 in 1995 to $77,681.00 in 1995.
Without the requested increase in municipal funding over the 1997 level, the library would be faced with
serious cutbacks in service. These would take many forms such as less staff to respond to customer
requests. fewer books and other materials resulting in longer waiting periods and most dramatically, the
closure of all library branches for specific periods of time. The implications of this would be far reaching.
At a time when our libraries are growing in popularity we would be reducing access.
The Library Board is continually looking to access all avenues of cost savings. For example, in 1997 we
renegoe2ted our materials processing contract which saved approximately $20,000.00 in operating and
capital nmds. In 1998 we have explored all cooperative options with other libraries and are working
tmvards -pint databases for our libraries which will result in decreased operating costs in 1999 while
internet at all of our branches. We are committed to continuing to investigate all revenue opportunities
permitted under the current provincial legislation.
Since our initial budget request was submitted, we have received notification of two important cost
savings. The provincial grant has come through this past month at a higher level than the original budget
from the province had indicated which increases our revenue by $6,901.00. Also, OMERS, has granted
their clients a payment "holiday" for the last half of 1998 and into 1999. This will result in a savings of
approximately $14,000.00 We will also delay the implementation of our public access intemet by two
months to reduce the staff costs associated with the initial launch of this service and save approximately
$5,700.00. The Library Board is committed to continue to search out and realize any further savings which
may be realized before the end of 1998.
With these one time cost savings and the approval of $100,000.00 on September 21, the library will still
face a shortfall of approximately $48,365.00. We hope to realize some additional economies in other
budget lines which will enable the library to avert the necessity of closing all of our branches for set
periods during the remainder of the year. Such a reduction in service is particularly repugnant to the Board
as it would severely reduce public access to the library and would also have serious repercussions for staff
who would be without pay for the time of closure.
At the September 23 meeting the Board expressed concern that the Clarington Library's future budget
requests should not suffer a negative impact from any potential reductions in 1998 funding. The 1999
budget request will reflect inflation and consideration for the expressed demand for increased library
service throughout the community.
hi an effort to avoid any future communication difficulty, the Library Board would ask that the Library
Director be fully involved in future budget committee discussions well in advance of the public discussion
of these issues.
The Board and staff are committed to working with Council and Municipal Staff to ensure the continued
provision of quality library service to all residents of Clarington. I appreciate this opportunity to discuss
this issue with you.
Yours sincerely,

Meeting: COUNCIL
Date: September 28, 1998
Report #: CD -48-98
Subject: DECLARATION OF VICIOUS DOG - THOMPSON
It is respectfully recommended:
THAT Report CD -48-98 be received; and
File #
Res. #C-7�a _9�
By-law #
2. THAT the vicious dog declaration served on James Thompson, 22 Stanford Crescent, Newcastle
not be revoked.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
By-law 97-167 provides that the Animal Control Services Officers shall investigate any dog bit incidents
and, when satisfied that the dog has, without provocation, bitten or attacked a person or domesticated
animal, the officer shall declare the dog to be a vicious dog.
In the case of James Thompson, a 5 year old boy and his black lab were in the driveway across from the
Thompson's residence. The father of the boy was buying an ice cream bar from a Dickee-Dee Vendor
when they were attacked by a german shepherd. The dog sustained injuries which caused breathing
difficulties and the owner sustained injuries to his right ankle.
Following an investigation of the incident, the Animal Control Officers charged the Thompson's with
allowing their dog to run at large and failing to obtain a licence for the dog. On September 15, 1998, the
Thompson's pled guilty to these charges. They were fined $75.00 with 30 days to pay.
At the time the charges were laid, a Declaration of Vicious Dog was also served on the Thompson's.
Accordingly, the Thompson's must:
have the dog photographed and permanently identified by microchip, at his expense, within 21
days of receipt of the declaration;
notify Clarington Animal Control Services immediately upon relocating the dog or upon transferring
oNNnership of the dog;
Report CD -48-98 - 2 - September 28, 1998
3. restrain the dog at all times by keeping it enclosed in a pen or other enclosure so as to proverit the
dog from leaving his property and to prevent contact with people and other animals when the dog
is on his own property; and
4. restrain the dog at all time with the use of a leash and a muzzle by a person who is 18 years of
age or older while the dog is off his own property.
Section 2.4 of the by-law allows that an owner of a vicious dog may apply to the Municipality for a hearing
as to whether or not the declaration should be revoked. Mrs. Thompson is appealing all of this declaration
as she does not believe her dog is vicious.
Statements from a witness to the incident indicate that the vicious dog had to be kicked in the side in -order
to get him away from the lab. A small child was put into a very dangerous situation because of the actions
of the dog and it's owner in letting it run loose. Also, the owner of the lab was injured while attempting to
save his dog from the attack. It is recommended that the vicious dog declaration not be revoked in order to
protect the neighbours from attacks by this dog in future.

Subject: SKATEPARK — GARNET B. RICKARD RECREATION COMPLEX
Res. #
By -Law #
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended -that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to
Council the following:
1. THAT Report WD -51-98 be received for information; and
2. THAT the detailed design and cost estimates for the development of a skatepark at the Garnet B.
Rickard Recreation Complex site be completed this year and that the construction of the facility be
referred to the Municipality's 1999 Capital Budget and Four -Year Forecast.
REPORT
1.0 ATTACHMENTS
No. 1: Key Map and Conceptual Skatepark Design
2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 The Municipality's 1998 Capital Budget and Four -Year Forecast provides $20,000 for the
development of a skateboard park ("skatepark") at the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex
site. This budget item includes the preparation of conceptual and detailed designs, both of which
are necessary for the implementation and construction of this project.
Public Works Staff liaised with a local skateboard youth group, to gather information and discuss
various skateboard elements that should be incorporated into a typical skatepark design. These
meetings resulted in an understanding of the skateboarding elements and the user group skill
level (beginner to advanced) that the final design of the skatepark should incorporate.
REPORT NO.: WD -51-98
PAGE 2
The Landscape Architecture firm of Cosburn Giberson Consultants Inc. has prepared a
conceptual design for a skateboard park at the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex site. This
firm is quite familiar with this site since they prepared the Community Park Master Plan for the
siting of the existing facilities.
3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT
3.1 Skatepark Site
The success of a skatepark relies on the integration of a suitable location with an appropriate
design. The proposed location of the skatepark is as shown on Attachment No. 1. The Garnet B.
Rickard Recreation Complex site lends itself as an ideal location for a skatepark because it
possesses the following characteristics:
a) sufficiently large enough to accommodate the skatepark and effective landscaping;
b) centrally located and is accessible by foot, bicycle or public or private transportation;
c) separated from adjacent residential areas by an adequate buffer zone;
d) located near ancillary facilities (such as a parking lot) and other community facilities; and
e) accessible to telephone, first aid or emergency access
Although the Rickard Complex site is an ideal location, the design of the skatepark must be
compatible with the surrounding architecture and environmental elements, thereby providing
continuity between facilities.
3.2 Skatepark Design
The design of a skatepark requires the integration of a series of design parameters into one
cohesive design. The design parameters that should be addressed are as follows:
1. providing a variety of skateboarding elements;
2. providing a wide range of usability (beginner to advanced);
3. minimizing liability arising from use of the skatepark;
4. minimizing the maintenance required for the facility;
5. maximizing the aesthetic qualities and integration into surrounding uses;
1108
REPORT NO.: WD -51-98 PAGE 3
7. providing high quality and low maintenance construction materials; and
8. providing a cost effective facility
The selection of the appropriate construction materials for the park will significantly influence
the overall design and usability of the park. Staff reviewed two types of recently constructed
skateparks in the area, each of which utilized different construction materials, and assessed the
advantages, disadvantages and construction cost of each.
Asphalt/Wooden Skatepark
Construction Materials:
Constructed using an asphalt skating surface and wooden, portable skateboard elements.
Advantages:
• Low construction and installation costs
• Low maintenance cost due to its basic design
• Suitable for rollerblading
• Accommodates generally beginner and intermediate skill levels
• New skill elements can easily be added
Disadvantages:
• Low aesthetic quality, due to construction material
• Higher maintenance costs due to construction material
• Limited to basic skateboard elements due to construction material
• Skateboard elements are of poorer construction leading to possible liability concerns
• Skateboard elements removed for winter season
Cost Breakdown:
Total Project Costs $43,000
Construction of 4 skateboard elements
$10,750 per skateboard element
1 1 1
REPORT NO.: WD -51-98
Concrete Skatepark
Construction Materials
Constructed using a concrete skating surface with concrete skateboard elements
Advantages:
• Excellent all-around facility
• Sensitive to wide range of age groups and skill levels (beginners to advanced)
N � 17yf
PAGE 4
• Low maintenance, due to concrete construction

compliments being located next to the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex. It is a facility that

use make this facility the superior product. It is concluded by staff that a concrete skatepark
would provide for the most cost-effective use of funds and land, over the long term.
3.4 Conceptual Design
Our consultants, Cosburn Giberson, have prepared a conceptual plan for our skatepark that is
constructed of concrete and incorporates 12 skateboard elements. This conceptual design is
shown on Attachment #1. Although we have not commenced the detailed design stage of the
project, the estimated cost of our skatepark facility is $167,000.
4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommend that a concrete skatepark should be constructed at the Garnet B. Rickard
Recreation Complex site as shown in the conceptual design prepared by Cosbum Giberson.
It is further recommended that the detailed design and cost estimates be completed this year and
that the construction of the facility at the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex site be included
in the Municipality's 1999 Capital Budget and Four -Year Forecast.
