I - 8 Paul J.M. Szabo, MP, advising Council that in 1996 he launched a National public
awareness campaign on the responsible use of alcohol. Posters and brochures
were sent to all members of the FCM and he was delighted that 55% of the

consumption of alcohol during pregnancy are serious and the consequences, such

Summary of Correspondence -3 - April 10, 2000
1-10 Elizabeth Fulford, Executive Director, Durham Region Community Care
Association, writing to Durham Region MPPs, regarding the Safe Streets Act.
The potential impact of the Safe Streets Act on charitable fund raising has
significant importance to Community Care's programs. Each year, a number of
their local offices hold Tag Days as part of their annual fund raising plan. The
Tag Days provide an opportunity to inform the public about their home support,
mental health and respite services. They are also successful fund raisers. This
year they expect to receive $30,000 from these activities. Materials have been
purchased and volunteers recruited in many communities. They understand the
need to limit personal approaches for monies that directly benefit the individual
asking for money. However, they don't believe that the government intended to
limit community participation in supporting causes of Registered Charitable
organizations that service the community at large. They would hope that
clarification regarding this matter can be made very quickly.
(Receive for Information)
I - 11 Kem Majid, President, Bowmanville Tennis Club, regarding the possible
relocation of the tennis courts from the Clarington Older Adult Centre. The
Bowmanville Tennis Club provides a very much needed community tennis
facility that is one of the best in Clarington. The cost to the Municipality of
Clarington is incidental since the courts and all tennis needs are funded by the
Bowmanville Tennis Club members through their fees. The cost to current and
future generations of tennis players in Clarington would be significant if the
traditions of the Bowmanville Tennis Club are lost because of the possible
relocation of the tennis courts.
(Receive for Information)
I - 12 Earl S. Cuddie, Administrator /Clerk, Township of Scugog, advising Council that
the Township of Scugog on March 27, 2000, passed the following resolution:

the Region of Durham to provide for the administration of the Provincial
Offences Act on the basis of:
The Regional Municipality of Durham being the sole service
provider for the administration of the Provincial Offences Act in
the Region of Durham; and
2. The net revenue from the Provincial Offences Act service being
split 50% to the Region of Durham and 50% to the area
municipalities with distribution amongst the eight area
municipalities being based on taxable assessment;
Summary of Correspondence - 4 - April 10, 2000
AND FURTHER, that the Mayor and Cleric be authorized to execute the
Intermunicipal Agreement and any other documentation necessary to

1-0 Sandra L. Hanson, Director of Corporate Services, Central Lake Ontario
Conservation Authority, providing Council with the Central Lake Ontario
Conservation Authority Financial Statements for the year ended

(Receive for Information)
1-14 Shelley Ryall, President of Durham Deaf Club (DDC), advising that they have
been working to get legislation passed which will require that all buildings be
installed with strobe lights for Deaf and hard of hearing people. Durham Deaf
Club is a voluntary non - profit organization. The club provides support and
advocacy for Deaf rights and political issues related to access and the rights of the
Deaf. It also provides a variety of events for children, adults and Senior Citizens,
workshops and presentations. Ms. Ryall would like to make a suggestion in
laying charges for homeowners who do not put smoke detectors in their homes.
The smoke detectors, which warn people of fire /smoke by sound, are not effective
for the Deaf /hard of hearing community, people with hearing loss, senior citizens
(old age), parents of deaf /hard of hearing children or people who lost some
hearing at some point in life. The cost of buying the smoke /fire detectors with
strobe lights is from $129 each to $279 (US funds) with strobe lights and bed
vibrator. The Canadian Hearing Society (CHS), Toronto sells fire alarms with
strobe lights costing $159 each plus tax and it has to be installed by an electrician.
The electrician could take a couple of hours so add possibly another $200 to the
cost of the fire alarm. The question is how will we help people in getting them
installed or to offset the cost. She is also questioning why there is only one TTY
for all of Durham Region.

Services Board Resolution of December 3, 1999, concerning the Oak
Ridges Moraine; and

1-17 Doug Anderson, Durham Business News, informing Council of a bold new
internet initiative launched right here in Durham Region a couple of weeks ago.
They are bombarded daily by dot.com mania but by and large internet success
stories have bypassed all but the major centres in North America. When he was
approached a couple of months ago to help create the Durham aboutcity portal, he
saw that the idea was not only brilliant but had the potential to really make the
internet work for local communities. Mr. Anderson's job is to pull together the
local content. They intend to assemble in one portal everything that anyone needs
to know about Durham and its constituent communities. They want to include the
businesses, the community groups, sports, entertainment, news, schools, libraries
and, of course, governments. For the first time, business will be able to create and
update their own websites on -line at no cost other than a very reasonable hosting
charge. Aboutcity will bring customers to those business with its own multi - tiered
search engine so that people can search for a particular business locally by name
or product, or broaden their search to the province and beyond.

1-18 Association of Municipalities of Ontario, announcing to Council that the

the Associations' respective Committees, will strengthen the policy and advocacy
work of both organizations. A strong, united voice is critical when it comes to
affecting change.

Highway 401. This on ramp is designed for the use of northbound
vehicles only.

Summary of Correspondence - 8 - April 10, 2000
D - 5 Monica M. Hoy, Co- Chair, St. Joseph's School Council, requesting a grant for
playground equipment for St. Joseph's Elementary School. St. Joseph's is
currently undergoing extensive renovations and their school is presently housed at
the Concession Street property which is now owned by Great Lalces College, but
which had, in one of its many past lives, been the Provincial Boys' Training
School. Construction is proceeding well on Parkway Crescent and they anticipate
being able to begin the new school year in September in their expanded facility.
In anticipation of their move back to St. Joseph's, their School Council has
undertaken various fundraising activities; namely, a chocolate almond sale, pizza
lunches, a raffle and a Valentine's Dance and have raised over $8,000 with which
they plan to purchase playground equipment. They would be very grateful if the
Municipality would grant them the maximum amount allowed for such projects to
supplement their own efforts and enable them to purchase as many components as
possible.
(Motion for Direction)
D- 6 Andrea Adamson, requesting sponsorship from the Municipality of Clarington for
the Tall Ship Millenium Challenge. Tall Ship Millenium Challenge Inc., is a non-
profit Canadian corporation that is going to provide Canada with a great entry into
the new Millennium by way of participation in the Tall Ship 2000 Race deemed
the "race of the century" and OPSail the largest gathering of Tall Ships in history.
To achieve this great entry, "Tall Ships Millenium Challenge Inc." and selected
crew members are actively raising funds to support the 500 Canadian youth who
will make up the Official Canadian Tall Ship Crew for the Millenium event. Ms.
Adamson is one of the 500 crew members that have been selected to sail around
the world. She will be sailing from Luenburg, Nova Scotia to Amsterdam,
Netherlands, and return home 36 days later. This event is going to be very
beneficial to her, increasing her sailing knowledge and other skills for future
tasks. One of her future goals is to join the Navy and continue with her sail
training. In order for her to participate, she will need to raise the funds to pay for
her uniform, travel expenses and activities while on shore leave. This is a youth
initiative that tries to promote opportunities for leadership, self - development and
sportsmanship, as well as interest in Tall Ship youth training throughout Canada.
Although Ms. Adamson's goal is to reach $5000, any amount of sponsorship
would be gladly appreciated.
(Motion for Direction)
Summary of Correspondence - 9 - April 10, 2000
D-7 Shane Hartwell, Kirby Centennial School Council, requesting a late grant to assist
the School Council in funding for a new playground. The existing structures are
old and are becoming potentially hazardous to the children who might use them.
They are in the process of conducting several fundraising projects; however, as
Kirby Centennial Public School is such a small school, raising the projected
$20,000 needed to replace the playground equipment is an arduous task to say the
least. As the project stands now, they have raised less than half of the estimated
monies required.

Summary of Correspondence _10- April 10, 2000
WHEREAS Bill 83, the Ontarians with Disabilities Act, which

Allan Vaillancourt, 1946 Highway 2, Bowmanville. LIC 3K7 advised
Council that on February 21, 2000, lie was visited by his neighbour
Paul Watson. Mr. Watson advised him that the large piles of brush
located on his property on Highway 2 were going to be burnt. A permit
had been issued by the Fire Department to allow for this activity. Mr.
Vaillancourt questioned why this activity would be sanctioned when it
would allow large amounts of noxious fumes to be emitted into the air.
He indicated that the Fire Department permit had been signed on
August 23, 1999, and questioned why it would take 6 months for Mr.
Watson to advise the neighbours of this activity. He also questioned
whether the Valleys 2000 Committee could have used the cleared brush
for chipping and whether a farmers right to burn outweighs the right of
other residents to enjoy clean, fresh air.

DELEGATIONS
Paul Watson. 1583 Maple Grove Road, Bowmanville. LIC 3K3 advised
Council that the subject property was farmland many years ago. However
it has been allowed to grow up with brush which is of no value. His
family is attempting to return the property to its natural state and. in so
doing, they applied for permits to burn the unwanted brush. The Ministry
of Environment have no objections to the burning and a permit was
properly obtained from the Fire Department. All requirements of the Fire
Department have been complied with, including notification of
immediately adjacent property owners. The notification was delayed from
the date of issue of the permit to ensure that people would be aware of the
activity at the time the burn was to begin. Mr. Watson advised that he has
only received one complaint related to the burn and the burn was stopped
at the time the complaint was received. Manpower is on site at all times to
monitor the activity.

impact that this is having on his business.

C10.M0 regarding the recent changes in the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture. Food
and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA). He is advising Council that this
government remains committed to keeping Ontario's farm and rural
families competitive by ensuring that they have the information they need
to make sound business decisions. For example, they are partnering with
their strong provincial agricultural organizations as well as with private
and emerging not-for-profit sector groups. As technology continues to
become more vital to communication and more complex in nature, the
need for specialized staff with specialized skills increases. This
realignment of ministry field operations allows OMAFRA the flexibility
to increase both the number of different channels by which information is
provided, and the number of specialized staff whose efforts will help
secure an enhanced future for Ontario's family farms. In the future, 13
sites across Ontario will house OMAFRA staff. They will be able to
provide expert information to farmers and agri-businesses across the
province, in a variety of ways, to optimize the use of public funds.

March 23. 2000, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Orono Arena and
Community Centre, 2 Princess Street, Orono, regarding the Orono Dam
and Orono Forest Land Property. The Orono Dam and Mill Pond are
located on Orono Creek at the 5`h Concession in the Municipality of
Clarington. Village of Orono. The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR)
currently owns the dam and mill pond and the Aurora District Office
manages and operates the dam. The Orono Mill Pond dam was
reconstructed in 1954 and was built to create a reservoir for the irrigation
operations at the Orono Nursery. Water from the reservoir was drawn
through an intake structure to the nursery for irrigation of the tree stock.
Operation of the existing dam is no longer required for tree nursery
operations. Nursery operations have ceased and two portions of the
property have been sold with the remainder in the title of MNR. The
Aurora District MNR office has hired Gartner Lee Limited consultant
company to carry out a study of the mill pond and dam structure. The
objective of the proposed study is to assess options for the dam and
potential effects on upstream high and low water levels and downstream
flooding. Any proposed change in operation of a dam is subject to a Class
Environmental Assessment (E.A.) process.

I -31 Honourable David M. Collenette. Minister of Transport, writing to Mayor
D03.TO Wayne Arthurs, Pickering regarding the federally owned Pickering Lands
Site and the update on the Stakeholders Committee's work. Ile would like
to advise us that progress is being made on the Pickering Lands issue and
that meaningful, ongoing dialogue is taking place among the interested
parties. Mayor Arthur's letter references the support of all affected
municipalities, with the exception of Markham, for the Sub -committee's
recommendation in principle to adopt the "agreements" approach as the
proposed alternative. It is imperative that all affected municipalities enter
into sound and sustainable agreements in support of the accepted
alternative. To this end, he asks that Pickering obtain or reconfirm the
views of all of the municipalities concerned, including Seugog and
Toronto, with respect to:
a) their support of the Sub -committee's recommendation to utilize
municipal by-laws as the proposed alternative to enacting federal
airport zoning regulations. and
b) proceeding with the declaration of the Pickering Lands Site as an
"airport site".
With respect to the latter point. lie understands that there is now wide
understanding and acceptance that the "declaration as an airport site" must
proceed under either alternative. Therefore, he considers it prudent to
proceed with the "declaration" phase in order to allow the more detailed
work to commence.

1-32 Association of Municipalities of Ontario, advising Council that the

Friday, March 17, 2000, which implemented the extension to
April 30. 2000, for the deadline for setting upper tier rating by-laws.
AMO has pressed Ministers Clement and Eves to make this change since
upper tiers, in the absence of the 2000 LSR/CRF allocations have not been
able to complete their budgets. The date for release of the LSR/CRF
information has not been announced, but since the tax rate date was
extended in recognition of the delay in LSR/CRF information, one can
speculate that it should be released sooner rather than later if councils are
to be given time to make informed budget and tax rate decisions.

One day last summer he found a golf ball in the backyard, he assumes
from the park which is located behind him. Later that dav, he found the
broken window which goes with it. These is a sign in the park which
states that there is a by-law prohibiting golfing. However, the violators
always practice their golf outside of the business hours of the by-law
enforcement officers. The park behind him is at a higher elevation than
his property. After dark the park becomes a refuge for teens and young
adults who engage in illegal activity. There is a drainage ditch, which is
meant to direct the water around his and his neighbour's homes. In the
spring they often get a quick thaw/freeze cycle, which causes this ditch to
fill with ice. This makes it ineffective for any following rains. He has had
the Works Department out to look at it but has been told that any changes
will make the grass hard to cut. Mr. Kock has a manhole cover in his front
lawn. His wife tries hard to cover it with grass or decorate it, but every
year the Works Department comes and digs it up. When they are done
with it, they leave it uncovered. His house and his neighbour's are slightly
isolated. As a result, the garbage and/or blue box collection people
occasionally overlook them.

I - 10 Elizabeth Fulford, Executive Director. Durham Region Community Care
Association, writing to Durham Region MPPs, regarding the Safe Streets Act.
The potential impact of the Safe Streets Act on charitable fund raising has
significant importance to Community Care's programs. Each year, a number of
their local offices hold Tag Days as part of their annual fund raising plan. The
Tag Days provide an opportunity to inform the public about their home support,
mental health and respite services. They are also successful fund raisers. This
year they expect to receive $30,000 from these activities. Materials have been
purchased and volunteers recruited in many communities. They understand the
need to limit personal approaches for monies that directly benefit the individual
asking for money. However, they don't believe that the government intended to
limit community participation in supporting causes of Registered Charitable
organizations that service the community at large. They would hope that
clarification regarding this matter can be made very quickly.

Kem Majid, President, Bowmanville Tennis Club, regarding the possible
relocation of the tennis courts from the Clarington Older Adult Centre. The
Bowmanville Tennis Club provides a very much needed community tennis
facility that is one of the best in Clarington. The cost to the Municipality of
Clarington is incidental since the courts and all tennis needs are funded by the
Bowmanville Tennis Club members through their fees. The cost to current and
future generations of tennis players in Clarington would be significant if the
traditions of the Bowmanville Tennis Club are lost because of the possible
relocation of the tennis courts.

1- 14 Shelley Ryall, President of Durham Deaf Club (DDC), advising that they have
been working to get legislation passed which will require that all buildings be
installed with strobe lights for Deaf and hard of hearing people. Durham Deaf
Club is a voluntary non-profit organization. The club provides support and
advocacy for Deaf rights and political issues related to access and the rights of the
Deaf. It also provides a variety of events for children, adults and Senior Citizens.
workshops and presentations. Ms. Ryall would like to make a suggestion in
laying charges for homeowners who do not put smoke detectors in their homes.
The smoke detectors, which wam people of fire/smoke by sound, are not effective
for the Deaf/hard of hearing community, people with hearing loss, senior citizens
(old age), parents of deaf/hard of hearing children or people who lost some
hearing at some point in life. The cost of buying the smoke/fire detectors with
strobe lights is from $129 each to $279 (US funds) with strobe lights and bed
vibrator. The Canadian Hearing Society (CHS), Toronto sells fire alarms with
strobe lights costing $159 each plus tax and it has to be installed by an electrician.
The electrician could take a couple of hours so add possibly another $200 to the
cost of the fire alarm. The question is how will we help people in getting them
installed or to offset the cost. She is also questioning why there is only one TTY
for all of Durham Region.

internet initiative launched right here in Durham Region a couple of weeks ago.
They are bombarded daily by dot.com mania but by and large internet success
stories have bypassed all but the major centres in North America. When he was
approached a couple of months ago to help create the Durham aboutcity portal, he
saw that the idea was not only brilliant but had the potential to really make the
internet work for local communities. Mr. Andersons job is to pull together the
local content. They intend to assemble in one portal everything that anyone needs
to know about Durham and its constituent communities. They want to include the
businesses, the community groups, sports, entertainment, news, schools, libraries
and, of course, governments. For the first time, business will be able to create and
update their own websites on-line at no cost other than a very reasonable hosting
charge. Abouicity will bring customers to those business with its own multi -tiered
search engine so that people can search for a particular business locally by name

D - 5 Monica M. Hoy. Co -Chair, St. Josephs School Council, requesting a grant for
playground equipment for St. Joseph's Elementary School. St. Joseph's is
currently undergoing extensive renovations and their school is presently housed at
the Concession Street property which is now owned by Great Lakes College, but
which had, in one of its many past lives, been the Provincial Boys Training
School. Construction is proceeding well on Parkway Crescent and they anticipate
being able to begin the new school year in September in their expanded facility.
In anticipation of their move back to St. Joseph's, their School Council has
undertaken various fundraising activities; namely, a chocolate almond sale, pizza
lunches, a raffle and a Valentine's Dance and have raised over $8,000 with which
they plan to purchase playground equipment. They would be very grateful if the

possible.

beneficial to her, increasing her sailing knowledge and other skills for future
tasks. One of her future goals is to join the Navy and continue with her sail
training. In order for her to participate, she will need to raise the funds to pay for
her uniform, travel expenses and activities while on shore leave. This is a youth
initiative that tries to promote opportunities for leadership, self -development and
sportsmanship, as well as interest in Tall Ship youth training throughout Canada.
Although Ms. Adamson's goal is to reach $5000, any amount of sponsorship

Absent: Anthony Skinner, Aspen Springs Community Association
Introduction and Welcome
Cynthia reported that Frank lerfino has left the Municipality and introduced Brent Mavin as his
replacement on the Committee.
2. Review and Adoption of Previous Notes
The Notes of the November 15, 1999 meeting were adopted.
3. Issues Arising from the Notes
Dostie's Address
The Municipality will initiate the process to change the Dostie's street address shortly.
Opening of Bridge
Discussions among the Municipality, Blue Circle and Ontario Hydro are continuing. The deadline
for the Principles of Understanding has been extended until February 29, 2000. Although the bridge
has been completed and is currently being used, it has not yet been officially dedicated as a public
highway, therefore the haul road remains the official route for Cedarcrest Beach Road residents.
Condition of Haul Road f lam;
Trucks are trailing mud out onto the haul road and creating a safety issue for residential
The quantity of mud also creates excessive dust and dust suppression is required. Pot holes are not
currently considered problem. '!"N. '`1` - c
Dock Berm
Cynthia received the letter from Blue Circle, indicating the value of
Cynthia has requested the Treasury Dept. reduce the letter of credit,
confirm that this has been completed.
4. Issues regarding Cedar Crest Beach
i) PDCA Executive has not met since November 15. Dave will report back to the Committee as
soon as he has received a response regarding the use of concrete barriers vs limestone blocks to
deter access to Blue Circle's lakefront property.
ii) Cynthia reported that, according to her sources, the brush is on Blue Circle's property. It is not
yet clear who placed the brush on this site. Lynn confirmed that Blue Circle will place concrete
barriers at the entry point. The removal of the brush will be deferred until the fish compensation
plan is implemented. If the brush is in the way of the fish compensation plan activities, it will be
removed at that time.
iii) Carol contacted Wilson Little regarding Blue Circle's survey. Wilson reported that Blue
Circle's survey is being carried out only on Blue Circle property. Cynthia reported that the
Municipality's records indicate that Blue Circle owns the land up to Cedarcrest Beach Road. As
Blue Circle's survey is not complete, it is not yet clear whether Blue Circle's lands do
abut Cedarcrest Beach Road. Cynthia reported that there is not a standard road allowance width for
Cedarcrest Beach Road. Cedarcrest Beach Road is a forced road. Following the survey and when
the agreement is finalized, Blue Circle will deed the land to the Municipality and the Municipality
will then deed the land to CLOCA. Cynthia reported that CLOCA would prefer to have all land
claims settled prior to the land transfer.
Action: The next PDCA newsletter will encourage residents with a land claim on the north side of
Cedar Crest Beach Road, to take their deeds to the municipal office for confirmation.
5. Mobile Air Monitor
Action: Cynthia will contact Gary Miller at the MOE for clarification of the monitoring procedures
in terms of locations, duration, availability of data and attendance at a future Community Relations
Committee meeting.
6. Representation of Aspen Springs Community Association
No response has been received from Kathlynn Hoch as her position on the Committee.
Action: Anthony will report on the availability of an alternate for Kathlynn Hoch.
7. Draft Community Relations Committee Annual Report 1998 - 1999
The following revisions to the Draft Community Relations Committee Annual Report:
- corrections to the membership
- outside sources to be named
- recommendation from third last paragraph to be listed under separate heading
Action: Cynthia will confirm that this report can be presented at the February 7 meeting of Council.
Action: Lynn and David will finalize the report and bring sufficient copies for distribution during
their presentation.
8. CBM Relocation
Lynn reported that preparation of the new site will begin shortly and the relocation will be
completed approximately midway through 2001. The last aggregate hauled from Blue Circle to
CBM was end of November 1999 so that the existing inventory can be utilized prior to the
relocation. Cynthia advised Lynn that site plan approval was required and recommended that Blue
Circle contact the Planning Dept.
9. Overburden Removal
Lynn acknowledged that it has been very dusty over the past number of weeks. Lynn has contacted
the overburden contractor to arrange a meeting to be held this week to review procedures to
minimize dust. Blue Circle's previous supervisor of the overburden contractor was reassigned and
continuity of experience was not maintained.
Action: Lynn will report back within two weeks on new dust control procedures implemented with
the contractor.
10. Next Meeting
Next meeting:
Date: Monday March 20, 2000.

process as well as a site tour were provided by Blue Circle.
• Information relating to Municipal requirements and approvals re: the dock expansion and
the Cove Road expropriation were provided by the Municipality.
• Outside sources (such as Tony Yan from Vibration Assessment Limited and Stuart
Stanley from Totten Sims Hubicki) were utilized to provide specific information on topics
such as the Westside Marsh Bridge construction process and road development etc.
• Committee groups raised concerns and questions and stakeholders provided information
and solutions where possible such as the overburden stripping contract modifications.
Notes and Conclusions:
It has been noted as the year progressed that the nature of the meetings has transformed from
an issue and concern based format towards one of information -sharing and problem resolution.
It is expected that future meetings will focus heavily on the implementation of the Waterfront

design and construction phases.
It is expected that the future communication will follow the format of information -sharing and
problem resolution.
Recommendations:
Committee members would conclude that the improved relations between all parties has
continued to move in a very positive direction. The Committee recommends that Council
support the continuation of the Committee and its Mandate.

U: Maintenance Guidelines for Municipal Drains
Subsequent to the presentation by your large delegation at the meeting of the
Council of the County of Elgin on September 28, 1999, I have been directed to
draft a response to your proposed guidelines.
I have expressed my opinion to the County that DFO has no jurisdiction under
the Fisheries Act to regulate, issue guidelines, or expend public funds on matters
pertaining to drainage works constructed under the Drainage Act (Ontario), unless
those drains are natural watercourses. Arguably, municipal drains constructed as
improvements to natural watercourses are subject to a shared jurisdiction.
The Fisheries Act is legislation designed to protect and regulate the commercial
fishing industry. For DFO to extend that mandate to virtually every situation
where water accumulates, is over -reaching and not supportable in law, in my
view.
The County is aware of its options, including an application to the courts to
determine the jurisdiction of the respective levels of government, ajudicial review
of any action taken by an official of DFO and the defence ofeny prosecution for
an alleged offence conceming drain maintenance.
Having said that, the County recognizes that DFO has a legisimptFktg`Ilte
conservation of natural resources, for the benefit of society a;.gddwhol are
sure that UFO recognizes that the County also has a legilimatb intere4d
property rights of its ratepayers, which also constitutes thepublfd'i

BARQIGTE! RS DFO's current position does not in any way balance the interests of the fishing
& ry'SO OLICITORs
industry as against those of other sectors of the economy, which we believe is a
requirement. DFO is simply not in a position to perform that balancing.
The County, its constituent municipalities and other local or upper tier
municipalities are capable, competent and willing to ensure that all interests are
heard, evaluated and reconciled fairly and publicly.
Accordingly, the County of Elgin is willing to accommodate DFO by receiving
tha guidelines, in an amended form, and using them to evaluate drainage projects
in light of the Fisheries Act, on natural watercourses and on drains constructed
under the Drainage Act which were clearly once natural watercourses which
supported a fishery.
The County would expect your published guidelines to refrain from any
reference to artificially constructed drains, except to indicate that the guidelines
are not applicable to those drains.
The County does not see a role for Conservation Authorities in this process,
either in data collection or in approvals, The source of the dataisthe local Drain
Superintendents and, to date, it seems that the Conservation Authority has merely
obtained the data from the local Superintendent, or made unwarranted
assumptions based on questionable conclusions. Approvals should be granted by
the Council of the municipality.
I stress that approval is byouonil as opposed to the municipality, because, this
situation is akin, in my opinion, to the expropriation process in Ontario. Under
that legislation, there is an expropriating authority and an approval authority. In
the municipal context, the municipality, as a corporation personified by its
administration, requests an approval to expropriate a property right, That
approval is granted or denied by the Council of the municipality, as the
representative of the broader public interest of all its citizens.
Appeals lio from decisions- made, but the basic process recognizes that the
municipal Council can act as a judicial body, even to the extent of adversely
affecting what might be seen to be the interests of its own administration in
particular projects.

BARRES7ERS &Sowrx-roRB Since in the case of drain maintenance the work is not for the benefit of the
municipality as a corporate entity, but rather for an identifiablegroupof
landowners, the balancing process is ideally suited for Council.
The County of Elgin is prepared to formalize such a procedure with DFO, but
will requira that it have more influence on the fmal form of the -guidelines that it
will be considering when dealing with applications for approvals.
The County will utilize its own data on the history of each drain, but will
certainly have regard to information collected by DFO so far,
. Council, using the guidelines, would require mitigation measures where
possible and practicable, legally, physically and economically.
As responsible, senior government organizations, DFO and municipalities share
a common mandate of public service in an efficient manner. In our respectful
submission, DFO ought to seize on an opportunity to create a working
relationship with the local body most closely related to the issue and most capable
of accomplishing the task. There is no need to introduce another body to police
the municipality.
Municipalities have been charged with the responsibility for drainage and the
Drainage Act does recognize that environmental issues arise. If DFO is of the
view that attention to the environmental issues to date has been insufficient, then
the municipality is prepared to address that concern. It will not be acceptable to
place a subordinate agency in a position of approving the actions of the
municipality which created it. Such a regime would be offensive to the
municipality, is an added layer of bureaucracy, adds cost and blurs the statutory
mandates of the respective organizations,
On behalf of the Warden and Council, I ask that you give your prompt
consideration to these suggestions and pmvide us with at least your preliminary
response as soon as possible.
The County has been receiving expressions of interests from many
municipalities around tho province and anticipates that this matter will come to a
head very shortly.
