Authority, announcing that Kawartha Conservation is now the distributor of
Arbour rain barrels. The use of rain barrels to collect water for later use in lawn

1-12 Ernie Hardeman, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, responding to
the Administrator - Clerk, Township of Scugog regarding the recent changes in the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. He is pleased to provide
further clarification about the future business direction of the ministry. This
direction, while significant, is in fact a stage is an evolution that has been
occurring for some time. As we enter the new millennium, the ministry must
provide provincial leadership on a number of critical issues facing rural Ontario.
A framework is under development to balance livestock production,
environmental concerns, and rural non -farm interests. The ministry will focus on
the quality and accessibility of our rural water supply, as well as address food
safety and on -farm food quality concerns, continue to improve pesticide use, and
explore the potential of genetically modified foods. The realignment of
OMAFRA will assist in meeting these challenges. Through their provincial
specialists and program leads, as well as regional economic development staff,
they will continue to provide information directly to clients in a number of ways
including their popular publications, factsheets, and over the Internet. Ministry
specialists located in 13 resource centres and seven co- locations will have many
opportunities to meet and interact with farmers across the province as they
continue to tackle key issues facing the agriculture and food sectors. Staff at six
northern sites will work regionally with clients while 16 regional information
coordinators will be located across southern Ontario. Their role will be to help
increase awareness in the agri -food community of emerging trends and
technologies and identify issues that arise in the region. They will co- ordinate
and market the resources of the ministry to the agri -food and rural community by
providing information through media releases, articles and speaking engagements
to various groups. They will also work closely with staff of Government
Information Centres, two of which are located in Whitby and Lindsay, to ensure
that information is also made available to clients through these locations.

Summary of Correspondence -5 - April 25, 2000
1-15 Ernie Hardeman, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, advising
Council of a letter sent to Sandy Archibald regarding her concerns for the future
of the Integrated Pest Management program. This government is committed to
providing the information to farm and rural families that will ensure they are able
to make sound business decisions. Several of their strong provincial grower
organizations, private sector consultants and not - for - profit sector groups have the
ability to act as deliverers of information and expertise. It is now necessary to
redirect resources to providing solutions to the key critical provincial issues
identified by farm organizations. These issues include the quality and
accessibility to our rural water supply, food safety and on -farm food quality
concerns, improved pesticide use and exploring the potential of genetically
modified foods. The realignment of OMAFRA will assist in meeting these
challenges. OMAFRA will establish 13 sites across Ontario, known as resource
centres where specialists will be able to provide expert information to farmers and
agri- business across the province. An enhanced number of pathways are being
developed to deliver information, including the award winning Internet web site
and contact through provincial events, such as the Horticultural Crops Conference
and the media and farm press. In addition, specialist staff will provide new
technology interpretation and training to agri- business staff and private
consultants through workshops, seminars and conferences. Farm and rural
organizations are maturing and well organized to be key points of delivery for
OMAFRA programs. They are working closely with the Ontario Fruit and
Vegetable Growers' Association and the Ontario Apple Commission to ensure the
continuity of technology transfer to Ontario growers.

parachuted into Nazi occupied territory to not only lead the resistance movement,

1-18 Jim Murphy, Director of Government Relations, Greater Toronto Home Builders'
Association, advising Council of a letter Mr. Murphy sent to the Mayor of the
City of Brampton regarding alternative financing proposals for various projects
within the City of Brampton. The City of Brampton suggested that a "voluntary"
payment of approximately $1,000 be applied to every single family home in
Brampton to finance a theatre and central square in downtown Brampton. At the
meeting there were other ideas tabled for creative financing. They wish to inform
the City of Brampton that the building and development industry cannot afford to
pay "voluntary" charges for projects, no matter how important. The second
reason for writing this letter is to suggest that municipalities across the GTA and
indeed Ontario all face the same challenge - dealing with increased
responsibilities from the province and federal governments while financing costs
from a limited tax base - property taxes, development charges and building permit
fees. The development and building industry pays the majority of these costs that
are then passed along to purchasers. GTHBA would suggest that in Mayor
Robertson's role as Chair of the GTA Mayors and Chairs, they strike a Municipal
Finance Sub - Committee to examine other revenue sources to these traditional
revenues. These could include many creative measures that several American
municipalities have access to but are prohibited within Ontario.

1-23 David Anderson, Minister of Environment, advising Council that he expects to
table the Species at Risk Act (SARA) in the House of Commons next week.
Following years of consultation and debate, the federal government has developed
comprehensive legislation to protect species at risk on all lands throughout
Canada. To provide effective species and habitat protection, they have chosen a
balanced approach that works on the ground. SARA will ensure that science is
the foundation for assessing which species are at risk. It creates mechanisms and
powers to act upon scientific assessments by mandating plans to recover species.
Furthermore, SARA will provide encouragement and incentives for Canadians,
including landowners, land users and municipalities, to protect critical habitat
through voluntary stewardship activities. Such cooperative activities are the best
means to protect species, and are the preferred approach. However, where such
measures are insufficient, SARA will provide the federal government with the
authority to protect critical habitat anywhere in the country. SARA will also
enable compensation to be paid to landowners and land users for losses suffered
as a result of unexpected and unusual impacts from the user of prohibitions
against alteration or destruction of identified critical habitat. Mr. Anderson is
hoping that he can count on the Municipality of Clarington's support as a
municipal representative to meet our responsibility to the world and to future
generations to protect our wildlife and species at risk.

1-25 Tony Clement, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, advising Council that
he is introducing legislation that would establish rules relating to questions on
municipal ballots and make the results of such questions binding on local councils
if voter turnout was sufficient. This government feels that putting questions on
municipal ballots is a means of improving accountability and public trust in
government. This bill is therefore intended to strengthen the role of voters in the
local democratic process. The Direct Democracy Through Municipal
Referendums Act, 2000 also builds on the initiatives of the Fewer Municipal
Politicians Act, 1999, so it addresses reform in other municipalities as well.

1-29 James M. Flaherty, Attorney General, Minister Responsible for Native Affairs,
regarding the Safe Streets Act, 1999, which he understands has given rise to
certain concerns in some municipalities. This legislation forms part of the
government's overall commitment to ensuring that the people of Ontario can feel
safe in their communities, streets, cars and homes. It fulfills their Blueprint
promise to stop aggressive solicitation and squeegee activity and to protect and
maintain people's ability to use public places in a safe and secure manner. The
Highway Traffic Act has always made it an offence for someone, while on a
roadway, to stop or attempt to stop a vehicle to offer or provide any commodity or
service to anyone in the vehicle. The Safe Streets Act simply adds that it is an
offence to approach a vehicle to offer a commodity or service, or to solicit for
money while on a roadway. It does not prevent someone from soliciting money
in a non - aggressive manner from people in vehicles, if the person soliciting is
positioned on a sidewalk, shoulder, boulevard, median or other place that is not a
roadway. This government appreciates the valuable contributions voluntary
organizations make to the quality of life in the province and recognizes how much
these activities contribute to the well -being and strength of Ontario communities.
He continues to encourage charities to work with local police services in advance
of their activities so that charities' activities are in compliance with the Safe
Streets Act and the Highway Traffic Act.

overwhelming need to complete the job of setting out what is a provincial versus a
municipal government responsibility. AMO has asked the province to not
proceed with this legislation until the credibility and value of the province -wide
referendum legislation is proven. Municipal government leads all orders of
government in terms of direct access, openness and accountability. At the
municipal level, public consultation is as practice.

CORRESPONDENCE FOR DIRECTION
D - 1 Sherry Bonazza, President, Darlington Soccer Club, requesting that an alternative
location be found to hold a fireworks display. It has been brought to their
attention that the Municipality of Clarington will be holding a fireworks display at
the Darlington Soccer fields on May 22, 2000. They feel that a community
fireworks display is a terrific idea, however they do have a few reservations
regarding the venue. For the past 4 years their club has been paying for a regular
field maintenance at the Darlington fields. This past year, for example, they paid
close to $12,000 to aerate, fertilize, seed, sod, roll, sand and for extra cuts, so the
fields will be in tip top shape. They did some extra maintenance this past fall, in
the hopes that the fields will be in extremely good shape for the Ontario 2000
Games. They are proud of the fields, and of their municipality and are trying to
assist in any way they can. All money put into these fields have been raised by
their club's fundraising, and the sheer hours of volunteer work to raise the funds
shouldn't be ignored. Their concerns are that all the work put into these fields
over the past few years could be negated rbn beforehand d the fields are soggy.

D-3 Norman R. Johnston, 30 Farncomb Crescent, Bowmanville, L1C 4L5, regarding
on- street parking between 3.00 a.m. 5:00 a.m. Mr. Johnston has a few questions
and concerns about street parking:
1. Where were our "ticket police" during the winter months when they have
to worry about snow removal?
2 Why would the town allow for such a small amount of parking space near
their parks? Elephant Park and Barley Mills are just two parks that come
to mind.
3 Why do our town planners allow builders to construct "single car' garages
which are only useful if you have the smallest car on the marl -et, and then
only if you are a contortionist.

D - 5 Robert G. Doumani, Aird & Berlis, Barristers and Solicitors, filing a complaint in
accordance with Section 20 of the Development Charges Act. Aird & Berlis are
counsel to Ridge Pine Park Inc. which owns and operates Wilmot Creek, a
retirement lifestyle community in the Municipality of Clarington. On
February 28, 2000, his client submitted applications for building permits to allow
five units at Wilmot Creek. Subsequently, his client received a letter from David
Crome dated February 25, 2000, stating that units at Wilmot Creels are now going
to be treated by Clarington as "single detached dwellings" for the purposes of
Development Charge By -law 99 -125 and charged a development charge of
$5,458.00 per unit, as opposed to the $615.00 rate applied by the Municipality to
every other unit at Wilmot Creels to date, in accordance with the terms of an
Agreement entered into between R.P.P.I. and the Town of Newcastle in 1981.
The position taken by the Municipality not only contravenes the specific terms of
the 1981 Agreement and the provisions of the 1989 Act and O. Reg 82/98, but, in
addition, contravenes the well established and consistent practice of the
municipality over the past several years in dealing with numerous similar or
virtually identical building permit applications at Wilmot Creels. His client has
relied on this consistent (and correct) practice on the Town's part and has entered
into agreements to sell these latest five units, and six others for which permit
applications have yet to be submitted are pending, on the understanding that a
development charge of $615.00 would be required in accordance with the terms
of the 1981 Agreement.
Summary of Correspondence -14- April 25, 2000
The municipality is estopped by its past conduct in this matter from taking the
position it now takes and purporting to charge the higher rate, which rate, they
note, they have appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board and which will be the
subject of a hearing before the Board in the fall.

WHEREAS, the Council of the Town of Richmond Hill has determined
that it is contrary to the public interest to allow the operation of businesses

Richmond Hill; and
WHEREAS, the Supreme Court of Canada has confirmed that, as a matter
of common law, it is not open to a municipality to prohibit absolutely a
class of lawful business from operating anywhere within the municipality,
and has further confirmed that adult entertainment services can constitute
lawful business activities; and
WHEREAS, by virtue of the common law as aforesaid, the Council of the
Town of Richmond Hill is unable to give effect to the clear public interest

"WHEREAS cultural clubs and non profit halls were previously assessed
for property tax purposes under residential rates; and
WHEREAS present legislation has changed the assessment class applied

previous; and
WHEREAS this additional cost results in significant losses in funding
available for local worthy causes;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Welland City Council petition the

D - 9 Brian Knott, Director of Legal Services /Clerk, Municipality of Chatham -Kent,
advising that the Council of the Municipality of Chatham -Kent on April 3, 2000,
passed the following resolution:
"THAT the Provincial Government has initiated a review of Sections 85 to
90 of the Drainage Act dealing with grants. This review could result in
grants being eliminated totally, partially, or not at all.
AND WHEREAS the Drainage Act has remained in its present state since
approximately 1982. Grants paid by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food
and Rural Affairs are applied to properties that are deemed to be
agricultural. These grants have been essential in helping farmers to
maintain and or improve their crops production.
AND WHEREAS there are areas in Ontario, particularly in southwestern
Ontario, that are at lake level or below. An extensive system of pumped
drainage schemes and dykes has created an infrastructure to which on-
going maintenance is critical. The protection provided by these schemes
transforms otherwise marginal farmland into some of the most productive
land in Ontario.
AND WHEREAS fuel prices are now at all time highs and commodity
prices are unacceptably low, Ontario farmers face a difficult economic
situation. Fertilizer, machinery, chemical and seed prices continue to
drive up the price of production. Grants have been a dependable constant
for many years. In these difficult and challenging times for the
agricultural community, it is imperative that these grants be continued.
AND WHEREAS the potential reduction or elimination of the grant
program will have lasting negative effects on the infrastructure necessary
to the agricultural community.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Corporation of the
Municipality of Chatham -Kent petition the Government of the Province of
Ontario to retain the present Municipal Outlet Drainage grant program as
well as the Tile Loan program without any reductions.
AND FURTHER THAT the Corporation of the Municipality of Chatham -
Kent circulate this resolution to all Members of Provincial Parliament in
Ontario, all Municipalities in Ontario, the Association of Municipalities of
Ontario, and the Rural Ontario Municipal Association, the Canadian
Federation of Agriculture and the Ontario Federation of Agriculture
stressing the importance of and the need for the continuation of the grant
programs under the Drainage Act."

1- 14 Shelley Ryall, President of Durham Deaf Club (DDC), advising that they
P16.GE 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.

Safe Street Act Association, writing to Durham Region MPPs, regarding the Safe Streets
M02.GE Act. The potential impact of the Safe Streets Act on charitable fund raising
has significant importance to Community Cares 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 dont 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.

Municipality of Clarington is incidental since the courts and all tennis
needs are funded by the Bowmanville Tennis Club members through their -

1 - 12 Ernie Hardeman. Minister of Agriculture. Food and Rural Affairs. responding to
the Administrator -Clerk. Township of Scugog regarding the recent changes in the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. He is pleased to provide
further clarification about the future business direction of the ministrv. This
direction, while significant. is in fact a stage is an evolution that has been
occurring for some time. As we enter the new millennium, the ministry must
provide provincial leadership on a number of critical issues facing rural Ontario.
A framework is under development to balance livestock production,
environmental concerns, and rural non-farm interests. The ministry will focus on
the quality and accessibility of our rural water supply, as well as address food
safety and on-farm food quality concerns, continue to improve pesticide use, and
explore the potential of genetically modified foods. The realignment of
OMAFRA will assist in meeting these challenges. Through their provincial
specialists and program leads, as well as regional economic development staff,
they will continue to provide information directly to clients in a number of ways
including their popular publications, factsheets, and over the Internet. Ministry
specialists located in 13 resource centres and seven co -locations will have many
opportunities to meet and interact with farmers across the province as they
continue to tackle key issues facing the agriculture and food sectors. Staff at six
northern sites will work regionally with clients while 16 regional information
coordinators will be located across southern Ontario. Their role will be to help
increase awareness in the agri-food community of emerging trends and
technologies and identify issues that arise in the region. They will co-ordinate
and market the resources of the ministry to the agri-food and rural community by
providing information through media releases, articles and speaking engagements
to various groups. They will also work closely with staff of Government
Information Centres, two of which are located in Whitby and Lindsay, to ensure
that information is also made available to clients through these locations.

1 - 15 Ernie Hardeman, Minister of Agriculture. Food and Rural Affairs, advising
Council of a letter sent to Sandy Archibald retarding her concerns for the future
of the Integrated Pest Management program. This government is committed to
providing the information to farm and rural families that will ensure they are able
to make sound business decisions. Several of their strong provincial grower
organizations, private sector consultants and not-for-profit sector groups have the
ability to act as deliverers of information and expertise. It is now necessary to
redirect resources to providing solutions to the key critical provincial issues
identified by farm organizations. These issues include the quality and
accessibility to our rural water supply, food safety and on-farm food quality
concerns, improved pesticide use and exploring the potential of genetically
modified foods. The realignment of OMAFRA will assist in meeting these
challenges. OMAFRA will establish 13 sites across Ontario, known as resource
centres where specialists will be able to provide expert information to farmers and
agri-business across the province. An enhanced number of pathways are being
developed to deliver information, including the award winning Internet web site
and contact through provincial events, such as the Horticultural Crops Conference
and the media and farm press. In addition, specialist staff will provide new
technology interpretation and training to agri-business staff and private
consultants through workshops, seminars and conferences. Farm and rural
organizations are maturing and well organized to be key points of delivery for
OMAFRA programs. They are working closely with the Ontario Fruit and
Vegetable Growers Association and the Ontario Apple Commission to ensure the
continuity of technology transfer to Ontario growers.

1 - 18 Jim Murphy. Director ot' Government Relations, Greater Toronto Home Builders'
Association, advising Council of a letter Mr. Murphy sent to the Mayor of the
City of Brampton regarding alternative financing proposals for various projects
within the C itv of Brampton. The City of Brampton suggested that a "voluntary"
payment of approximately S 1.000 be applied to every single family home in
Brampton to finance a theatre and central square in downtown Brampton. At the
- meeting there w ere other ideas tabled for creative financing. They wish to inform
the City of Brampton that the building and development industry cannot afford to
pay "voluntary" charges for projects, no matter how important. The second
reason for writing this letter is to suggest that municipalities across the GTA and
indeed Ontario all face the same challenge - dealing with increased
responsibilities from the province and federal governments while Financing costs
from a limited tax base - property taxes, development charges and building permit
fees. The development and building industry pays the majority of these costs that
are then passed along to purchasers. GTHBA would suggest that in Mayor
Robertsons role as Chair of the GTA Mayors and Chairs, they strike a Municipal
Finance Sub -Committee to examine other revenue sources to these traditional
revenues. These could include many creative measures that several American
municipalities have access to but are prohibited within Ontario.

table the Species at Risk Act (SARA) in the House of Commons next week.
Following years of consultation and debate, the federal government has developed
comprehensive legislation to protect species at risk on all lands throughout
Canada. To provide effective species and habitat protection, they have chosen a
balanced approach that works on the ground. SARA will ensure that science is
the foundation for assessing which species are at risk. It creates mechanisms and
powers to act upon scientific assessments by mandating plans to recover species.
Furthermore, SARA will provide encouragement and incentives for Canadians,
including landowners, land users and municipalities. to protect critical habitat
through voluntary stewardship activities. Such cooperative activities are the best
means to protect species, and are the preferred approach. However, where such
measures are insufficient. SARA will provide the federal government with the
authority to protect critical habitat anywhere in the country. SARA will also
enable compensation to be paid to landowners and land users for losses suffered
as a result of unexpected and unusual impacts from the user of prohibitions
against alteration or destruction of identified critical habitat. Mr. Anderson is
hoping that he can count on the Municipality of Clarington's support as a
municipal representative to meet our responsibility to the world and to future
generations to protect our wildlife and species at risk.

regarding the Safe Streets Act. 1999, which he understands has given rise to
certain concerns in some municipalities. This legislation forms part of the
government's overall commitment to ensuring that the people of Ontario can feel
safe in their communities. streets, cars and homes. It fulfills their Blueprint
promise to stop aggressive solicitation and squeegee activity and to protect and
maintain people's ability to use public places in a safe and secure manner. The
Highway Traffic Act has always made it an offence for someone, while on a
roadway, to stop or attempt to stop a vehicle to offer or provide any commodity or
service to anyone in the vehicle. The Scrfe Streets Act simply adds that it is an
offence to approach a vehicle to offer a commodity or service, or to solicit for
money while on a roadway. It does not prevent someone from soliciting money
in a non-aggressive manner from people in vehicles, if the person soliciting is
positioned on a sidewalk, shoulder, boulevard, median or other place that is not a
roadway. This government appreciates the valuable contributions voluntary
organizations make to the quality of life in the province and recognizes how much
these activities contribute to the well-being and strength of Ontario communities.
He continues to encourage charities to work with local police services in advance
of their activities so that charities' activities are in compliance with the Sine
Streets Act and the Highway Traffic Act.

"Credibility, accountability and consistency and the wise use of taxpayer's dollars
cannot be achieved by this legislation if we cannot clarify for the public and
ourselves what is within the municipal jurisdiction. If this is to be done on a case-
by-case basis as the Minister has stated, then there will be greater confusion and
frustration for the public and the two orders of government." There is an
overwhelming need to complete the job of setting out what is a provincial versus a
municipal government responsibility. AMO has asked the province to not
proceed with this legislation until the credibility and value of the province -wide
referendum legislation is proven. Municipal government leads all orders of
government in terms of direct access, openness and accountability. At the
municipal level, public consultation is carried out as good practice.

CORRESPONDENCE FOR DIRECTION
D - 1 Sherry Bonazza, President, Darlington Soccer Club, requesting that an alternative
location be found to hold a fireworks display. It has been brought to their
attention that the Municipality of Clarington will be holding a fireworks display at
the Darlington Soccer fields on May 22, 2000. They feel that a community
fireworks display is a terrific idea, however they do have a few reservations
regarding the venue. For the past 4 years their club has been paying for a regular
field maintenance at the Darlington fields. This past year, for example, they paid
close to $12,000 to aerate, fertilize, seed, sod, roll, sand and for extra cuts, so the
fields will be in tip top shape. They did some extra maintenance this past fall, in
the hopes that the fields will be in extremely good shape for the Ontario 2000
Games. They are proud of the fields, and of their municipality and are trying to
assist in any way they can. All money put into these fields have been raised by
their club's fundraising, and the sheer hours of volunteer work to raise the funds
shouldn't be ignored. Their concerns are that all the work put into these fields
over the past few years could be negated by the number of people attending the
fireworks display, especially if there is rain beforehand and the fields are soggy.
Summary of Correspondence - 12- April 25, 2000
They do not have a watering system for the fields, so they have been trying to
lighten the soil through aeration and sanding, which will enable a deeper root
growth. If the conditions are right, lawn chairs, blankets and thousands of feet
could set them back immeasurably.

D - 2 Nancy Savoie, 3 Downham Drive, Bowmanville, LIC 4G8, advising of concerns
regarding residential parking in her own and several other neighbourhoods.
Several neighours have recently received a ticket for being illegally parked on
their street. They had not left a one meter requisite distance at either end of their
vehicle and thus were too close to their own driveways. The span between
driveways on their street is inadequate for anything bigger than a motorcycle or
small vehicle to legally park. Ms. Savoie feels this by-law is unjust, unfair, and if
one is a tourist this is not a very welcoming gesture. Having said all the above
she must also stress that no signs are posted informing people of the by-law for
this offence. She doubts most residents could recite or memorize all the by-laws
that are on the books in our municipality. She urges the Mayor and Council to
consider changing or ridding the books of this by-law. She suspects other
neighbourhoods have the same problem with this particular by-law concerning
parking. By-laws should serve a practical and/or safety oriented purpose and not
be just a revenue generating opportunity or a perceived eyesore and nuisance to
neighbours.

D-3 Norman R. Johnston, 30 Famcomb Crescent, Bowmanville, L1C 41-5, regarding
on -street parking between 3:00 a.m. - 5:00 a.m. Mr. Johnston has a few questions
and concerns about street parking:
I . Where were our "ticket police' during the winter months when they have
to worry about snow removal?
2. Why would the town allow for such a small amount of parking space near
their parks? Elephant Park and Barley Mills are just two parks that come
to mind.
3. Why do our town planners allow builders to construct "single car" garages
which are only useful if you have the smallest car on the market, and then
only if you are a contortionist.
4. He frequently stops at North End Market on Liberty Street. About two
years ago the owners provided a safe, off street parking lot, for their
customers. In front of the store on the light stand, there is a "No Parking"
sign, yet he has never seen nor heard of anyone receiving a ticket for
parking in front of the store! Why is this?
Summary of Correspondence - 13 - April 25. 2000

is no sign on his street indicating that parking is prohibited. Without
signage how is one to know if parking is prohibited?

accordance with Section 20 of the Development Charges Act. Aird & Berlis are
counsel to Ridge Pine Park Inc. which owns and operates Wilmot Creek, a
retirement lifestyle community in the Municipality of Clarington. On
February 28, 2000, his client submitted applications for building permits to allow
five units at Wilmot Creek. Subsequently, his client received a letter from David
Creme dated February 25, 2000, stating that units at Wilmot Creek are now going
to be treated by Clarington as "single detached dwellings' for the purposes of
Development Charge By-law 99-125 and charged a development charge of
$5,458.00 per unit, as opposed to the $615.00 rate applied by the Municipality to
every other unit at Wilmot Creek to date, in accordance with the terms of an
Agreement entered into between R.P.P.I. and the Town of Newcastle in 1981.
The position taken by the Municipality not only contravenes the specific terms of
the 1981 Agreement and the provisions of the 1989 Act and O. Reg 82/98, but, in
addition, contravenes the well established and consistent practice of the
municipality over the past several years in dealing with numerous similar or
virtually identical building permit applications at Wilmot Creek. His client has
relied on this consistent (and correct) practice on the Town's part and has entered
into agreements to sell these latest five units, and six others for which permit
applications have yet to be submitted are pending, on the understanding that a
development charge of $615.00 would be required in accordance with the terms
of the 1981 Agreement.

advising that the Council of the Municipality of Chatham -Kent on April 3, 2000,
passed the following resolution:
"THAT the Provincial Government has initiated a review of Sections 85 to
90 of the Drainage Act dealing with grants. This review could result in
grants being eliminated totally, partially, or not at all.
AND WHEREAS the Drainage Act has remained in its present state since
approximately 1982. Grants paid by the Ministry of Agriculture. Food
and Rural Affairs are applied to properties that are deemed to be
agricultural. These grants have been essential in helping farmers to
maintain and or improve their crops production.
AND WHEREAS there are areas in Ontario, particularly in southwestern
Ontario, that are at lake level or below. An extensive system of pumped
drainage schemes and dykes has created an infrastructure to which on-
going maintenance is critical. The protection provided by these schemes
transforms otherwise marginal farmland into some of the most productive
land in Ontario.
AND WHEREAS fuel prices are now at all time highs and commodity
prices are unacceptably low, Ontario farmers face a difficult economic
situation. Fertilizer, machinery, chemical and seed prices continue to
drive up the price of production. Grants have been a dependable constant
for many years. In these difficult and challenging times for the
agricultural community, it is imperative that these grants be continued.
AND WHEREAS the potential reduction or elimination of the grant
program will have lasting negative effects on the infrastructure necessary
to the agricultural community.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Corporation of the
Municipality of Chatham -Kent petition the Government of the Province of
Ontario to retain the present Municipal Outlet Drainage grant program as
well as the Tile Loan program without any reductions.
AND FURTHER THAT the Corporation of the Municipality of Chatham -
Kent circulate this resolution to all Members of Provincial Parliament in

opportunities. Strengthening and encouraging members is an excellent
investment because it pays off year after year in increased community service
work. It is our community that will benefit from this investment.

Enclosed herewith please find a press release on our acquisition of Port Hope Hydro.
Port Hope Hydro is in our long term strategic interest due to its proximity to Clarington.
The new Clarington/Port Hope Service Centre will have the critical mass for our field
operations east of Oshawa.
Port Hope Hydro also has significance in terns of long term shareholder value. The
distribution system is in excellent condition and Port Hope has a high proportion of
industrial load.
Our Board of Directors are very, pleased with this latest acquisition as it truly allows us to
develop into a viable regional energy company.
Yours truly,

Veridian Corporation Expands into Regional Energy Company FAX (905) 427-,4998
by Acquiring Port Hope Hydro www.veridian.on
Pickering — Pickering based Veridian Corporation is on the acquisition path. Jim Mason, Chairman
of the Board of Directors of the Veridian Corporation announced the acquisition of Port Hope
Hydro. The Council of the Town of Port Hope met earlier this week to approve the sale of Port
Hope Hydro to Veridian at a price of $9.6 million.
Veridian Corporation is a new energy company formed by the merger of the Ajax, Clarington and
Pickering Hydro -Electric Commissions and started operating as a merged utility on November 1,
1999. The company is jointly owned by the municipalities of Ajax, Clarington and Pickering.
Veridian has been an aggressive new player in the new energy marketplace, which was opened up by
the passage of the Province's Energy Competition Act. It now provides electric distribution services
to Ajax, Oarington and Pickering and has also acquired the rights to be the electric distributor for
Uxbridge and Port Hope. Both acquisitions must be approved bythe Ontario Energy Board.
Port Hope Hydro is a natural fit for us noted Veridian's President & CEO, John Wiersma. By
combining the Clarington and Port Hope service areas we are able to achieve further economies out
of our Clarington operations and reduce costs says Wiersma. All administrative and billing functions
will be centralized in Ajax/Pickering.
With the new acquisitions Veridian will now serve 68,000 customers covering a population of
approximately 210,000. It has become the 9`h largest municipal electric utility in the province.
The new legislation has made it more difficult for smaller utilities to continue their operations and
the legislation has been a catalyst for municipalities to sell their utilities or to combine their efforts
with others. Veridian Corporation is clearly the largest single voluntary amalgamation of utilities in
the province and it was first off the mark when the legislation presented these new opportunities.
The sale of Pon Hope Hydro is also expected to provide benefits to Port Hope. Wiersma notes that
Veridian is able to provide a higher level of service to Port Hope such as 24 hour dispatch center,
the automation of the power distribution system and the resources of a much larger utility in
responding to emergencies.
Veridian is a company with strong community roots and it wants to continue in the strong tradition
of Port Hope Hydro and be an integral part of the Town of Port Hope and other communities
where it has a presence. It lives by the motto "The Power to Make Your Community Better".

I am pleased to enclose the annual report cards for Ontario Power Generation Nuclear
and Darlington Nuclear.
There were many significant milestones reached across the Nuclear Division, as well as
here at the Darlington station in 1999. Overall, the nuclear recovery program is showing
major gains and we are working hard toward the restart of the Pickering A station, which
is a major contributor to the economy of Durham Region and an essential ingredient in
the long-term success of Ontario Power Generation.
- I am pleased with our local achievements, particularly with our successful Y2K
preparations and the increased power production. But I am also proud of the expanding
role that Darlington Nuclear is starting to play in the local community, such as our
employees' record United Way contributions. Just as we anticipate reaching more
technological milestones in 2000, we will also -focus our efforts on our contribution to the
quality of life in the community we serve.
Please jot down Sunday, September 10 in your calendars for our Open House. I look
forward to seeing you there.

footbridge in the Lynde Shores Conservation area is being built to _
improve public safety.
"The wilkway will improve the safety of people accessing the Lynde
Shores trail system on foot," Flaherty said on behalf of Natural Resources
Minister John Snobelen. 'The new footbridge will parallel the e.,dsung
causewav that is currently used by vehicles and pedeslrkuis including
children and the elderly".
John Ecker. Chair of the Lynde Marsh Alliance. said that " linprovmg
public access and safety at the Lynde Marsh is important. Just as
iinpoitant though. is that the construction and use of this new bridge
was planned to most protect the natural environment of the area."
Funding for the bridge comes from the Natural Areas Protection Program
(NADP). NADP is a 4 year, $20 million initiative that the Ontario
goverment announced in May 1998. The program provides funds to
acquire land for parks and open spaces on the Niagara Escarpment, the
Rouge and the Lynde Marsh.
The Lvnde Marsh Alliance was formed under the Ontario Natural Area
Protection Program to preserve and expand the Lynde Marsh. Up to 10%
of NAPP's annual funding is available for small-scale projects that
improve public safety and enhance awareness, access and recreation on
acquired lands. Recently funded projects include tree planting.
improvement to wheelchair accessibility and fish habitat rehabilitation.
Construction of the new Lynde Shore Conservation Area footbridge is
currently underway.

FACTORS INFLUENCING DECISION:
The subject property is located on the east side of Harmony Road. It is the fourth house north of Bloor
Street on Harmony Road. The house is located approximately at street level outside of the flood plain,
whereas the backyard terraces down towards the Harmony Creek. In the location of the proposed workshop,
flood depths range between 3.18 feet (0.97 m) to 4.16 feet (1.27 m).
Mr. Smith is proposing to remove an existing shed (10' x 15') and replace it with a new 16' x 32' wood
-framed structure (see Attachment 1). At the time of writting, Mr. Smith is undecided as to whether he is
going to construct a raised wood floor structure or a slab on grade structure. In light of this, he has had his
Engineer prepare drawings and supporting documentation for both designs. According to the Engineer, with
the appropriate measures, either design will withstand the anticipated forces of the water acting upon the
structure. The main electrical panels will be located at least 1.2 metres above the finished floor.
Although the proposed structure is located within the flood plain (see Attachment 2), the flood elevation is a
result of backwater caused by the undersized culvert through the C.N.R. tracks south of Highway 401. As
such, flood water velocity will -not be great. The proposed workshop is non -habitable and therefore wet
flood proofing techniques are appropriate. Given that the proposed structure will be inundated with flood
waters, the loss of flood storage should be neglible.
The applicant has addressed the hazard by designing the structure in accordance with established standards
and procedures, and new hazards have not been created. Therefore staff recommend that the application be
approved subject to the following conditions.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT the application be approved subject to the following conditions:
1. The project shall be carried out generally according to the plans and specifications submitted in support
of the application as they may be amended by the following conditions.
1. A Professional Engineer shall provide confirmation in writing, that the plans, design and construction
drawings submitted in support of the application will withstand anticipated vertica4 and horizontal
hydrostatic pressures acting on the structure.
3. Prior to the issuance of a permit, the approved plans for works within the flood plain shall be stamped
by a Professional Engineer.
4. A Professional Engineer shall provide written verification that the works were completed in accordance
with the approved plans.
5. The applicant/owner shall enter into a Save Harmless Agreement with the Authority to be registered on
title at the owner's expense.

Our File #63700
Re: Complaint pursuant to Section 20 of the Development Charges Act
Wilmot Creek
Lini
We are counsel to Ridge Pine Park Inc. ("R.P.P.I.") which owns and operates Wilmot
Creek, a retirement lifestyle community in the municipality of Clarington. On February
28, 2000 our client submitted applications for building permits to allow five units at
Wilmot Creek, (sites 144, 165, 759, 823 and 871). Subsequently, our client received a
letter from David Crome dated February 25, 2000 stating that, units at Wilmot Creek are
now going to be treated by Clarington as "single detached dwellings" for the purposes of
Development Charge By-law 99-125 and charged a development charge of $5,458.00 per
unit, as opposed to the $615.00 rate applied by the Municipality to every other unit at
Wilmot Creek to date, in accordance with the terms of an Agreement entered into between
R.P.P.I. and the Town of Newcastle in 1981 (the "1981 Agreement").
lr4 l i'..J
These units are mobile homes, as defined by the Zoning By -Law in force at the time Eff ..
1981 Agreement (i.e. they are designed to be made mobile and to connect to sewage.,
disposal facilities and other necessary utilities on site). Clarington has consistently brit
these units as mobiles homes, not only in terms of applying the 1981 Agreemen�t,,nb.
in terms of zoning compliance. We note that between 1984 and September, 1-9, biir---�� —

homes were the only permitted residential use on the property and approximately 500
building permits were issued during that period.
The building permit drawings for these latest five units are indistinguishable from drawings
upon which R.P.P.I. has been receiving building permits for years and, in particular, are
virtually identical to the plans upon which four permits were issued since the *sage of
By-law 99-125 last July. In each case, the development charge required by the
Municipality has been $615.00.
Clarington's practice in this regard did not change following the passage of Development
Charge By-law 92-105 in 1992, Development Charge By-law 99-125 last July, or the 1996
amendment to the Zoning By-law for Wilmot Creek (which expanded the range of
permitted residential uses on the property to include single -detached dwellings for the first
time). This consistent practice on the part of the Municipality is evidence of the
Municipality's acknowledgement that these units are mobile homes.
Subsection 14(5) of the Development Charges Act, 1989 (the "1989 Act") provided for a
conflict between a By-law and any pre-existing agreement. This provision clearly applies
to the Agreement entered into in the subject case. Section 14(5) of the 1989 Act was not
confined to subdivision agreements. This conflict concept was carried forward by O. Reg.
82/98 passed pursuant to the Development Charges Act, 1997 and, again, Section 17 of the
Regulation is not confined to subdivision agreements. In the case of such conflicts, the Act
provides that the terms of the pre-existing agreement are to prevail. There is no limitation
in the statute or the regulation as to the type of agreement, merely that it predate the By-
law and relate to development with respect to land which is within the area later covered
by a Development Charge By-law, as this Agreement does. Furthermore, in the subject
case, the definition of mobile home incorporated into By-law 99-125 does not resolve the
conflict between the 1981 Agreement and the new By-law, it exacerbates it,
The position taken by the Municipality not only contravenes the specific terms of the 1981
Agreement and the provisions of the 1989 Act and O. Reg 82/98, but, in addition,
contravenes the well established and consistent practice of the municipality over the past
several years in dealing with numerous similar or virtually identical building permit
applications at Wilmot Creek. Our client has relied on this consistent (and correct) practice
on the Town's part and has entered into agreements to sell these latest five units, and six
others for which permit applications have yet to be submitted are pending, on the
understanding that a development charge of $615.00 would be required in accordance with
the terms of the 1981 Agreement. In our submission, the municipality is estopped by its
past conduct in this matter from taking the position it now takes and purporting to charge

the higher rate, which rate, we note, we have appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board and
which will be the subject of a hearing before the Board in the fall.
On March 16, 2000, our client paid the 55,458.00 sum requested for each of the five units,
under protest, in order to secure the five requested permits, and we are hereby making a
complaint pursuant to Section 20(1) of the Development Charges Act, 1997 respecting this
payment. The Municipality is in error in applying Development Charge By-law 99-125
to these units in this fashion and our client looks forward to an opportunity to address
Council with respect to this matter. We would ask that Dave Rice be listed as a deputant
and that this item be placed before Council at its next meeting. Thank -you very much.
Yours very truly,

THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON
REPORT
Meeting: COUNCIL File #
Date: April 25 2000 Res.#
Report # ADMIN. 12-00
Subject: Future Prospects of the Municipality of Clarington
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that Council approve the following:
I. That Report ADMIN. 12 - 00 be received;
2. That Council approve the contents of this report as the basis of completion of a
Comprehensive Study that would provide Council with all the necessary
information in order to determine the future prospects of Clarington for the
benefit of all its residents.
3. That the Regional Municipality of Durham be advised that Report ADMIN. 12-00
as approved by Council of the Municipality of Clarington, represents our response
to the Region of Durham pertaining to our local initiated process dealing with the
issue of potential amalgamation or governance reform; and
4. That a copy of Report ADMIN. 12-00 be forwarded to all local municipalities
within Durham Region, the Township of Port Hope, the Town of Port Hope, the
County of Northumberland, the G.T.S.B., Mr. John O'Toole, M.P.P. and, the
Honourable Mr. Tony Clement. Minister of Municipal Affairs.
ADMIN. 12-00 1
REPORT:
BACKGROUND
1.1 On January t 1 and 12. 2000, Regional Council met informally to review and
discuss various issues related to governance. This cumulated in an eight (8)
points resolution passed by Regional Council on January 26, 2000. One of the
key points contained in the resolution states:
"That recognizing the Province's direction in pursuing a reduction in the number
of municipalities, the Region encourages potential amalgamations in governance
reform processes to be determined by June 30, 2000, with a further report by June
30, 2001".
1.2 Arising out of the above resolution. Council of the Municipality of Clarington,
together with senior staff, held a study session on March 20 and 21, 2000 to
discuss the local process and to determine the various tasks that need to be
attended to so that process can be put in place by June 30, 2000, and that a final
report be ready by .lune 30, 2001.
1.3 At the conclusion of the study session, consensus was reached that Clarington has
the demonstrated capacity and future growth potential to remain as a viable,
separate local municipality within Durham Region. However, there was also
consensus that Clarington should examine the financial impact of possible
combinations with other municipalities with which is shares common interests.
Accordingly, discussion with these municipalities will take place concerning
possible studies in this regard.
1.4 At the study session, it was also agreed that staff would report back to Council to
provide the necessary framework for:
ADMIN. 12-00
a) demonstrating the viability of Clarington. and
b) developing communication strategy with our citizens.
2. PURPOSES
The purposes of this report are as follows:
2.1 Outline a process to carry out various financial impact analysis; specificall_3- as it
pertains to any impact to residents of Clarington, including the retention -of
consultants to undertake such works; and provide an approximate timetable for
completion of all studies.
2.2 Comments on the viability of Clarington, outlining the matters that will be
elaborated on in a subsequent report.
2.3 Provide a communication strategy whereby our residents are to be kept informed
of various governance issues.
FINANCIAL IMPACT ANALYSIS
Fundamental to any governance or boundary change, it is imperative that
sufficient information be gathered and detailed research be carried out so that
Council can make an informed decision on behalf of the common good of all its
residents. In this regard, the Municipality of Clarington has commenced or is in
the process of commencing the following financial impact studies. The primary
objective is to determine the impact on the residents of Clarington under various
partnership and/or boundary change scenarios.
ADMIN. 12-00
3.1 Partnerships with Scugo , Uxbridge and Brock
These three rural municipalities share common interests with the Municipality of
Clarington, as each municipality possesses a large geographic land base and
significant agricultural activities. Arising out of the direction of the study
session, a meeting was held with representatives of these municipalities to explore
possible partnerships. These three municipalities have earlier agreed among
themselves to retain a consultant to study possible governance scenarios and are
receptive to include Clarington in their study. The consultant firm of Randolph
Group, in partnership with Enid Slack Consultant Inc. has been retained. This
study will examine how levels of services will be affected as well as to determine
the impact on the taxpayers of the respective municipalities. Said study is in its
early stage and is tentatively scheduled for completion before the summer recess.
3.2 Partnership with Hope Township and Port Hope
Although these two municipalities are not located in Durham Region and the
G.T.A., they have approached Clarington to explore possible partnerships.
Similar to our nor -them neighbouring municipalities, Clarington also shares
common interests with our two eastern neighbours. Subsequently, a meeting was
held with representatives from Port Hope and Hope Township to explore the
possibility of funding ajoint study to determine the impacts of service levels and
cost implications to the tax payers.
It should be noted that the Minister of Municipal Affairs has recently issued an
Amalgamation Order to cause Hope Township and Port Hope to be merged into
one municipality effective January 1, 2001. Notwithstanding, the Order allows
the Transitional Board, comprising of all the Councillors of these two
municipalities, to explore partnerships and possible service realignment issues
with its neighbours. As a result of the Order, it was felt that it would be
premature to conduct a financial impact study at this time as the two
ADMIN. 12-00
municipalities will need time to address their transitional issues. However, all
parties agree that we should maintain continuous dialogue of possible partnership
in the future.
With respect to the question of leaving the G.T.A., which is one of the conditions
requested by both Port Hope and Hope Township, it was agreed that this issue not
be addressed at this time.
3.3 Courtice annexed by the City of Oshawa
This scenario is put forward only out of the necessity in response to past and
present annexation overtures from the City of Oshawa. As a result. Council
authorized a financial impact study, which commenced in the latter part of last
year. Enid Slack consultant Inc. has been retained to carry out a detailed financial
analysis to determine what impact, if any, such annexation scenario would have
on those residents residing in Courtice, as well as on the balance of residents in
Clarington. Said study is near completion and will be finalized in conjunction
with other financial studies under other amalgamation scenarios.
3.4 The results of the three studies will be coordinated ensuring they will be released
simultaneously and in conjunction with the Comprehensive Study on the future
prospect of Clarington.
3.5 The three financial impact studies are of critical importance to determine whether
or not any of the scenarios make financial sense to the residents of Clarington
since the Provincial Government has indicated repeatedly that amalgamation
saves taxpayers money.
ADMIN.12-00 6
-l. CLARINGTON AS A VIABLE MUNICIPALITY
4.1 Despite the fact the Municipality of Clarington is prepared to examine the
financial impact of any and all possible partnerships and/or governance scenario
models, it should be made absolutely clear that Clarington has the demonstrated
ability, now and in the future, to be a viable municipality as it now exists as an
effective and efficient local government in delivering services to our local
residents. The strength of Clarington to stand on its own within a slimmed -down
Regional government structure lies primarily with its:
• Large Geographical size;
• Healthy mix of urban communities and agricultural activities;
• -Common interest of various communities within its boundary;
• Future potential growth, particularly in the industrial and commercial sectors;
• Efficient service delivery provided by a lean administration and active
community voluntarism:
• Sound financial management and healthy reserves;
• Accessible Elected officials and staff;
• Excellent quality of life enjoyed by all residents who are proud to be
associated with Clarington:
• Quality customer service commitment by employees, with continual
performance measurement and improvement;
• Continuous commitment to collaborate with Region of Durham and other
municipalities to streamline service delivery such as planning approvals.
insurance pooling, co-op purchasing, road maintenance, emergency
communication dispatch, sharing of resources and any and all possibilities of
removing duplication of services and any and all efforts at becoming more
cost-efficient. etc.
All of these factors and more will be elaborated on in the Comprehensive Study,
inclusive of all financial impact analysis, targeted for completion in the fall of this
ADMIN. 12-00
year. As information required to demonstrate Clarington's viability is readily
available in our municipal departments, it would be prudent that this part of the
study be carried out by in-house staff. However, assistance from consultants may
be necessary as the study progresses.
COMMUNICATING WITH OUR RESIDENTS
The decision of Council pertaining to the future prospects of Clarington-must
have regard to the opinion of its residents. This is a cornerstone of democracy.
Council, and we believe the Provincial Government, should be so guided in their
future decisions on local government reform.
In order to solicit public opinion, certain principles should be established. These
include full disclosure of study findings and all related informations unbiased
presentation of facts, and opportunities for public debates.
Following these principles, our communication strategy would include regular
reporting of unfolding events related to governance issues. Various
communication tools such as press release, the municipal web site, employee
newsletters, newspaper advertising, and extra editions of Clarington Today could
be used to convey the necessary facts and information to the residents.
Upon completion of the Comprehensive Study, a series of public information
forums would be held, to solicit public comments in various communities within
Clarington. We believe strongly that public input on this most important matter
of local government reform should only be sought after all the facts are gathered
and all the analysis completed. This equally applies to any referendum that
Council may deem necessary in the future. Due to the complexity of the subject
matter and time requirement to coordinate and complete all studies, it is unlikely
that we would be in a position to hold any information forums or undertake a
referendum, if any, before the November municipal election.
ADMIN. 12-00
RELATED MATTERS
Two related matters on governance that should be included in the Comprehensive
Study are outlined below.
6.1 Relationship with the Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB)
Clarington is currently a member municipality within the GTSB. Prior to its
formation, Clarington has requested the Provincial Government to include in the
GTSB legislation, a provision that would allow for the GTSB fringe
municipalities to opt out.
As the GTSB is currently under review, it is important that this issue does not get
overlooked amidst other major issues. As Clarington is unlikely to be in a
position to address this issue in the absence of the completion of our
comprehensive study and be able to decide on the future prospect of Clarington
prior to the completion of the GTSB review by the end of the year, it is imperative
that the current provision to allow for opting out not be affected by any future
amendment to the GTSB Act.
Our Solicitor has advised that in the event that opting out becomes a reality, the
GTSB Act would have to be amended. This issue need not be addressed at this
time. However, what is of paramount importance to Clarington at this time, is
that this opting out alternative remains open to Clarington in the event the future
prospects of Clarington requires it.
ADMIN. 12-00
6.2 Fewer politicians
As the Provincial Government has repeatedly asserted that fewer politicians
would save taxpayers dollars, it is incumbent on Clarington to review this issue as
part of the Comprehensive Study, even though we may not necessarily agree that
such assertion is correct.
There is no suggestion at this time as to how this issue will be addressed.
However, the pros and cons of reducing the number of elected officials in
Clarington will be examined, both in terms of representation on Clarington
Council and on Regional Council, as well as on any possible amalgamated
Council model.
CONCLUSION
Clarington does not necessarily agree with the Province advocating that
amalgamation would lead to: fewer municipal politicians, lower taxes, better,
more efficient service delivery, less bureaucracy, clear line of responsibility and
better accountability. In fact, one could argue that amalgamations will result in
bigger government, more bureaucracy, and reduce accessibility and
accountability.
Clarington does agree with the principles of lower taxes, efficient service
delivery, less bureaucracy and better accountability and believes these are the
areas where we should focus our attention as opposed to amalgamation.
Therefore, in conjunction with our study to demonstrate Clarington's viability, we
will also document how these principles have been and/or will be met.
The content of this report sets out Clarington's processes and all the matters that
will be reviewed in addressing the issue of governance reform. The
ADMIN. 12-00
10
Comprehensive Studv referred to in the recommendation. inclusive of all financial
impact studies. will be completed by the fall of this year. It should be noted that
the Comprehensive Study only represents one milestone in the locally initiated
process. The information contained in the Study will be used in the public
consultation process, leading to a decision by the Council prior to submission of
the final report and recommendations to the Region of Durham before June 30,
2001.
Respectfully submitted,
Franklin Wu.

THAT this report be received.
2. THAT Council pass a by-law to authorize the Mayor and Clerk on behalf of the Municipality
to execute an agreement to amend the Principles of Understanding between Blue Circle
Canada Inc. and the Municipality of Clarington dated November 3, 1997 to extend the

gin I: , ;1 AI
2.1 Council approved the Principles of Understanding ("Principles' between the Municipality
and Blue Circle Canada Inc. (`Blue Circle") at its meeting on November 3, 1997. The
Principles deal with a number of matters to implement recommendations made by the
Waterfront Regeneration Trust including the acquisition by the Municipality of Cove Road
and land required for the extension of Cove Road to the Westside Creek, the construction of
a bridge over the Westside Creek to connect Cedar Crest Beach Road via Cove Road to West
Beach Road. and the transfer of a large part of the Westside Marsh and certain other lands
to the Municipality or to CLOCA at the Municipality's direction.
2.2 The Closing Date for the transfer of lands by Blue Circle and the completion of certain other
arrangements provided in the Principles is conditional on several events occurring. These
include the transfer of an easement by Ontario Hydro to accommodate die planned diversion
of Westside Creek through its transmission corridor, and the execution by Blue Circle and
the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority of a maintenance and monitoring
Report Solie-42-00
April 25, 2000
agreement with respect to certain works that are to be constructed by Blue Circle for the
diversion of Westside Creek and the separation of the area of the Westside Marsh which is
to be conserved from the area of the Marsh that can be quarried by Blue Circle.
2.3 At the meeting on December 13, 1999, Council approved the recommendation contained in
Report Solic-#2-99 that the "Unwinding Date" provided for in paragraph 24 of the Principles
of Understanding be extended from December 31, 1999 to February 29, 2000 in order to
allow necessary documentation to be drafted and to allow time for completion of
negotiations with Ontario Hydro respecting the transfer of an easement for the planned
diversion of the Westside Creek.
2.4 At the meeting on February 21, 2000 Council approved the recommendation contained in
Report Solic #I-00 to further extend the Unwinding Date to April 30, 2000.
2.5 Unfortunately, the negotiations between the Municipality, Blue Circle and Ontario Hydro
have taken more time than was anticipated. However, agreement in principle has now been
reached at the staff level. The documentation between Ontario Hydro, Blue Circle, the
Municipality and CLOCA, is being settled at the present time. Additional amendments to
the Principles are being settled by staff and will be repotted to Council at the meeting on
May 8, 2000. This documentation and certain revisions to complex land surveys to
implement the Principles cannot be completed soon enough to allow the transaction between
Blue Circle and the Municipality to close before the amended Unwinding Date of April 30,
2000. A further extension is required.
3.0 RECOMMENDATION
3.1 Accordingly, it is recommended that Council authorize the Mayor and Cleric on behalf of the
Municipality to execute an amendment to the Principles to extend rite Unwinding Date to
May 31, 2000, and on the exchange of written notices by the Solicitors for the Parties to a
date which is not later than June 30, 2000, with all other terms and conditions of the
Principles to remain the same and time to remain of the essence of the Principles.
