1-13 David H. Tsubouchi, Solicitor General, advising Council of the National
Emergency Preparedness Week that is held each year during the first week of
May, and runs this year from May 1 - 7, 2000. They are inviting our community

activities aimed at increasing awareness of emergency preparedness. The slogan
for Emergency Preparedness Week 2000 is: Together We Prepare: The Family,
The Community and the Country. His ministry will be marking Emergency
Preparedness Week 2000 by launching Project Storm Watch, a program
developed in partnership by Emergency Measures Ontario and the Meteorological
Services of Canada - Ontario Region. Project Storm Watch is a program designed
to raise awareness in communities about severe summer weather phenomena, and
precautions that should be taken in the event of severe weather conditions. In
Ontario, April marks the beginning of the severe summer weather season, which
can last well into October. This year, the focus of Project Storm Watch is
tornadoes. Each year, an average of 15 tornadoes touch down in Ontario. Over

cooperation with Meterorological Services of Canada. He invites us to participate
in these sessions.

1-14 John R. O'Toole, MPP, Durham, writing to Council with respect to the Safe
Streets Act, 1999, which he understands has given rise to certain concerns in some
municipalities and community fund raising groups. 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. Traditionally, law enforcement agents have worked co- operatively with
non - profit charitable organizations. 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.
Mr. O'Toole encourages 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.

CORRESPONDENCE FOR DIRECTION
D - 1 Margaret Rodgers, Curator Director, The Visual Arts Centre of Clarington,
advising that on March 22, 2000, the Board of Directors passed the following
resolution:
"WHEREAS the Visual Arts Centre of Clarington is a vibrant and
growing organization dedicated to promoting the arts within this
community;
AND WHEREAS the Visual Arts Centre requires additional physical
space to carry on and expand it's programming;
AND WHEREAS the Visual Arts Centre has requested for several years

provide alternative accommodation to the Bowmanville Baseball
Association and that the latter be given a reasonable opportunity to

Property Manager)
D-2 Ministry of Transportation, providing Council with the third draft of the
Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways (the "Standards ") for
our review and comments. This draft of the Standards is presented as a draft
regulation. This will enable us to review the Standards, as they would appear in
their final format, as a regulation under the Municipal Act. The deadline for
submission of written comments is August 4, 2000.

Director of Public Works)
D - 3 Terri Gray, Support Services, The Oshawa/Clarington Association for
Community Living, writing to Council regarding the future needs of Clarington
residents with developmental disabilities. She would like to thank the
Municipality for all the support they have received with their Activity Centre
located at 132 Church Street in Bowmanville. The Centre has been very
successful in providing supports and services to people of Clarington with
developmental disabilities. They have been in operation since November 1997.
The location of 132 Church Street provided them with their beginning. The
support they have received from the community, partnership agencies and the
families has allowed for exciting results.
Summary of Correspondence - 9 - May 8, 2000
As part of their role they are looking at future needs in Clarington. They are
aware that within a two year period 25 students with developmental disabilities
will be graduating from Courtice Secondary School. This is not taking into
account the regular referrals they receive from the community at large. Currently
there are 35 registered active members at the centre. With this in mind, they are
planning around the support demands these changes will bring to Clarington.
With all partners involved, the building at 132 Church Street is being used to its
maximum. The youth Centre has experienced a significant increase in activity.
The space in the rest of the leased portion of the building is being used to its full
capacity. It has become apparent that they are in need of a larger space. They are
requesting that the Municipality consider the Clarington Project Activity Centre
for the Library location on Church Street when it becomes available. Realizing
that the Library will not be moving for some time, consideration and confirmation
to relocate to the Library location would give the Clarington Project the
opportunity to make the plans needed for a smooth transition to a new location.
(Motion to refer correspondence to the
Property Manager)
D-4 Lori Ullius, Program Manager, Health Department, Regional Municipality of
Durham, requesting Council to proclaim June 2000 as "Health Before Pregnancy"
month in the Municipality of Clarington. During this month, Durham Region
Health Department Public Health Nurses will highlight lifestyle habits before
pregnancy that can affect the health of the baby. The overall theme is "Health
Before Pregnancy Makes A Difference" with the following topics given special
consideration:
• Healthy nutrition (a diet which includes foods rich in folic acid)
• Active living (healthy body weight)
• Avoidance of alcohol and substance use
• Awareness of community resources
Throughout this month, the campaign will include radio and television
announcements, displays, newspaper articles and posters throughout Durham
Region.

D-6 Mike Slocombe, Operations Technician, Region of Durham, advising Council that
within accordance of the Weed Control Act R.S.O. 1990, Chapter W.5, the
Regional Municipality of Durham is responsible for the enforcement of the Act
within the Region. As allowed for under section 16 of the Act, the Region
requires that Council pass a resolution directing the Regional Weed Inspector(s)
to:
• Destroy any noxious weeds or weed seeds on any subdivided portions of the
municipality and on lots not exceeding 10 acres;
• The municipality advertise in a newspaper having general circulation in our
municipality notice of this action.
The Region of Durham will require certified copies of the Notice to Property
Owners and the resolution. The Notice of Property Owners should be advertised
in a newspaper between May 15, 2000 and May 19, 2000.
(Motion to authorize the publication of a
Public Notice, regarding the destruction of
weeds under the provision of the Weed
Control Act, R.S.O. 1990 Chapter W.5 of
the Province of Ontario and direct the
Regional Weed inspectors to cause noxious

Summary of Correspondence - 11 - May 8, 2000
D - 7 Newton Reed, Secretary York Presbytery, writing Council regarding the Oak
Ridges Moraine. York Presbytery of the United Church of Canada passed the
following resolution:
"Faith Base: We believe in the abundance of God's creation and our
responsibility to nurture and share it. The New Creed of
The United Church of Canada states that we are called to
live with respect in Creation.
Background: The Oak Ridges Moraine covers a large number of hectares
in the middle of York Presbytery, extending beyond our
eastern and western borders.
The Moraine is an environmentally sensitive area which is
not yet fully understood. It is the source of several streams
and rivers. York Presbytery feels the need for much more
comprehensive scientific study to be done on the Moraine
and adjoining regions.
The Moraine is a part of several municipalities, and those
municipalities have not come together to form a common
approach to development on the Moraine. The Provincial
Government, the only body capable of the required
research and coordination, has adopted a `hands -off
approach, which may very well leave the critical decisions
by default to a few members of the non - elected Ontario
Municipal Board.
It is our view that the potential exists for irreparable
damage to be done to the environment by hasty or ill -
considered development on the Moraine.
THERFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that York Presbytery contact the various
municipalities, and the Federal and Provincial Governments, and the
Ontario Municipal Board, asking that a freeze be placed on development
on the Oak Ridges Moraine until such time as a common environmental
study may be made, and so that the Province, in consultation with the
Federal and Municipal governments, can provide a common, responsible,
and properly funded approach, to ensure both the viability of the
ecosystem and due attention to housing needs; and
THAT copies of this motion be sent to the offices of other religious
groups; and
Summary of Correspondence -12- May 8, 2000
THAT copies of this resolution be forwarded to the Sierra Club, the
Canadian Wildlife Society, the Nature Conservancy of Canada, Save the
Oak Ridges Moraine, Save the Rouge Moraine, and the Federation of
Ontario Naturalists; and
THAT York Presbytery petition Toronto Conference to pass a similar
resolution on Development on the Oak Ridges Moraine."

D - 8 William Irving, V.P. 4- Pitch, on behalf of the Courtice Parks Baseball and
Softball Association, requesting support and some assistance in the construction
of a Batting Cage and Storage Unit for the Courtice Parks Baseball and Softball
Association. The C.P.B.S.A. has, for the last 13 years, been providing summer
baseball, softball, 4 -pitch and T -Ball programs for young people ages 4 to 18 yrs.
in the Courtice area. They are a non - profit association, operated by volunteers,
funded solely through player registration fees and team sponsorships. This year
they have over 500 players registered and a total of 41 teams. The Batting Cage
and Storage Unit they are proposing will greatly enhance their ability to develop
players fundamental skills as well as provide a more convenient and less costly
storage place for uniforms and equipment. A letter outlining their proposal for the
project was sent to Mr. Stephen Vokes, Director of Public Works. This letter
prompted further discussions with Public Works with respect to project design,
costs estimates, etc. and they value our experience and appreciate our help in this
matter. Their Association has fundraised specifically for this purpose and has
$25,000.00 allocated for the project. Current estimates suggest that this will not
likely cover the entire cost of the project and therefore they are asking Council's
assistance in the form of a grant in the amount of $5,000.00 to help them with this
project.

stall the registration of the subdivision plan indefinitely if a satisfactory agreement for
transfer of this Block could not be reached. The School Board does not want to purchase the
site.
Condition # 28 has been revised so that it only prohibits the issuance of Building Permit on
Block B, a future residential block, until Block 141 has been appropriately conveyed to an
abutting property or properties (See Attachment No. 1). This could include either a transfer
to the future school site or to abutting residential properties. This condition will ensure that
no landlocked land parcels are created, staffs primary objective. It effectively freezes one
lot comprised of land in both the Eiram (Melody Homes) and Lizjan subdivisions until this
issue is resolved.
3. Zoning By-law
The applicant has requested the following minor amendments to the zoning by-law since
Monday, May 1, 2000, which Staff are willing to support. The .proposed changes are
contained in Attachment No. 2 and have been bolded for Council's convenience.
a) The interior side yard setback has been amended for 9.5 metre and 10.5 metre single
detached lots, which do not contain an attached garage or carport. Instead of
containing 3.0 metre and 1.2 metre setbacks, the 1.2 metre setback has been
decreased to 0.6 metres. This makes it consistent with the lots with attached garages
and allows for greater design flexibility. This could encourage the applicant to site
detached garages in the rear yard. Staff feel the request is minor and desirable.
b) Although unenclosed porches can extend into a front yard by 1.5 metres, these
structures cannot extend into an exterior side yard. This provision has been amended
to allow unenclosed porches to extend into an exterior side yard by 1.5 metres to
permit development of wrap-around porches. This design feature creates an urban
feel and orients development towards the street. The developer must still fulfil all
site triangle requirements for corner visibility. Staff have no objection to this
amendment.
4. Parking Plan
One of the final approval requirements was the submission of an on -street parking plan. The
applicant submitted this plan for review, which was found to be satisfactory to the Director
of Public Works.

Conclusion
The Solicitor will be presenting Report PD -042-00 and this Addendum at the Board Hearing
commencing Monday morning. The Solicitor will be requesting the Board to withhold its
decision until it has been advised that Council has adopted the recommendations contained
in this Addendum Report.

PUBLIC HEARING
PRESENTATION
DELEGATION
In accordance with Section 20 of the Development Charges Act, 1997, the
Council of the Municipality of Clarington is holding a hearing into a
complaint filed by Aird & Berlis on behalf of Ridge Pine Park Inc., owner
and operator of Wilmot Creek.
David Rice, addressed Council on behalf of Rice Development and Ridge
Pine Park. Mr. Rice is of the opinion that the development agreement
entered into in 1981 between the Town of Newcastle and Ridge Pine Park
is grandfathered by the municipality's new Development Charge By-law.
He is requesting Council to stand behind this development agreement and
direct staff to return funds which have been over paid for building permits
in March 2000. Mr. Rice proceeded to explain the design of the homes in
Wilmot Creek to illustrate that they truly are mobile homes.
Kim Kovar, Aird & Berlis, Suite 1800, Box 754, 181 Bay Street, Toronto,
M5J 2T9 reiterated Mr. Rice's comments that the 1981 agreement is
grandfathered with the new Development Charge By-law and stated that
parties of an agreement cannot alter the agreement at their desire.
Susan Arends, Marketing, Tourism and Communications Department,
indicated that the municipality, in partnership with Ontario Power
Generation - Darlington, sponsored the "Frozen in Time" photo contest
this past winter. Of the 27 entries which were received, the photo
"Lighthouse on Guard" by photographer Timothy Cadden. has been
chosen as the winner. Together with Phil LeSauvage, Manager, Public
Affairs, Ontario Power Generation Darlington, Mayor Hamre presented a
digital camera to Mr. Cadden in recognition of his prize entry.
Scott Creed, 150 Tamblyn Road, Orono, LOB 1 MO appeared before
Council to request to be added to Schedule "C" of the municipality's
Exotic Animal By-law to allow him to keep exotic cats which he uses in
relation to his business for education purposes. Mr. Creed has been
operating from this property for several years, however, it has recently
come to his attention that he has been doing so in contravention of both
the zoning by-law and the exotic animal by-law. He has submitted a
rezoning application to the Planning and Development Department.

DELEGATIONS
Otto Provenzano. 309 Kenwood Road. Whitby, LIN 2G2 addressed
Council with respect to snow clearing on sidewalks adjacent to 1678
Highway 2. Courtice, Ontario. Mr. Provenzano indicated that this
property has a frontage of 625 feet on Highway 2. The sidewalk is
generally being used for residents to access the Courtice Community
Centre, therefore, Mr. Provenzano is of the opinion that the municipality
should clear the sidewalk of snow rather than the property owner. With
such a large frontage, he feels it is unfair to have to shovel the entire
sidewalk.

1-3 Ian D. Macnab, General Manager/Secretary-Treasurer, Kawartha
E05.GE Conservation 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 and garden watering is an excellent means of
conserving water and ensuring a healthier and cleaner environment.
Public response to this initiative has been very positive and they are
seeking our cooperation to further promote this conservation initiative.
The barrels cost $70.00 plus PST. People wishing to purchase barrels can
do so from the Kawartha Conservation office at Ken Reid Conservation
Area. They believe that the barrels are a good means of conserving water
and that the public very much appreciates the opportunity of obtaining
them locally, at a reasonable cost, with the knowledge that their purchase
supports conservation.

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 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 abitity46= as -
deliverers of information and expertise. It is now necessary t'a redirect
resources to providing solutions to the key critical piovinciatissues
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. -

Jim Murphy, Director of Government Relations, Greater Toronto Home
F2 LDE 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.

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,

1- 31 Association of Municipalities of Ontario, introducing Direct Democracy
M06.GE through Municipal Referendums Act, 2000. Minister Clement has
introduced new legislation, Bill 62, that deals with a number of issues,
including:
• Provisions for a binding municipal referendum (council initiated,
not voter initiated)
_ - • The elimination of the provision that would allow 75 electors to
petition the Minister to appoint a restructuring commission
• Greater discretion to the Minister in defining the area subject of a
restructuring commission, to make the area larger or smaller
• The ability to maintain the different tax ratios between residential
and other property tax classes when separated municipalities and
countries amalgamate
• The direct -election of council in the Region of Waterloo and
reduction of the size of local councils
• New Provisions and changes to the Fewer Municipal Politicians
Act, 1999 as it relates to the recent restructuring in four regions,
and includes the repeal of the power for Cabinet to amend any Act
(generally referred to as the Henry VIII clauses)
(Received for Information)
1-32 Association of Municipalities of Ontario, clarifying what is "Within the
Municipal Jurisdiction". In response to Minister Clement's introduction
of municipal referendum legislation, AMO President Michael Power said,
"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.

always made it an offence for someone, while on a roadway, to stop or

D - 2 Nancy Savoie. 3 Downham Drive, Bowmanville, LIC 4G8. advising of
T02.GE concerns regarding residentiai 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 bejust a revenue generating
opportunity or a perceived eyesore and nuisance to neighbours.

T02.GE regarding on -street parking between 3:00 a.m. - 5:00 a.m. Mr. Johnston

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 Libertv 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!

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. 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.

Municipality of Clarington. On February 28, 2000, his client submitted
_ F21.DE
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 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. 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.

I = 14 John R. O'Toole, MPP, Durham, writing to Council with respect to the Safe
Streets Act, 1999, which he understands has given rise to certain concerns in some
municipalities and community fund raising groups. 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. Traditionally, law enforcement agents have worked co-operatively with
non-profit charitable organizations. 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.
Mr. O'Toole encourages 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.

"WHEREAS the Visual Arts Centre of Clarington is a vibrant and
growing organization dedicated to promoting the arts within this -
community;
AND WHEREAS the Visual Arts Centre requires additional physical
space to carry on and expand it's programming;
AND WHEREAS the Visual Arts Centre has requested for several years
that it be permitted to expand to occupy the entire premises of the Cream
of Barley Mill site including that portion of the building currently
occupied by the Bowmanviile Baseball Association for storage purposes.
RESOLVED that this board request that the Municipality of Clarington
provide alternative accommodation to the Bowmanville Basebair
Association and that the latter be given a reasonable opportunity to
surrender the premises currently occupied by it at the Cream of Barley
Mill site."
(Motion to refer correspondence to the
Property Manager)
D-2 Ministry of Transportation, providing Council with the third draft of the
Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways (the "Standards") for
our review and comments. This draft of the Standards is presented as a draft
regulation. This will enable us to review the Standards, as they would appear in
their final format, as a regulation under the Municipal Act. The deadline for
submission of written comments is August 4, 2000.
(Motion to refer correspondence to the
Director of Public Works)
D - 3 Terri Gray, Support Services, The Oshawa/Clarington Association for
Community Living, writing to Council regarding the future needs of Clarington
residents with developmental disabilities. She would like to thank the
Municipality for all the support they have received with their Activity Centre
located at 132 Church Street in Bowmanville. The Centre has been very
successful in providing supports and services to people of Clarington with
developmental disabilities. They have been in operation since November 1997.
The location of 132 Church Street provided them with their beginning. The
support they have received from the community, partnership agencies and the
families has allowed for exciting results.
Summary of Correspondence - 9 - May 8, 2000
As part of their role they are looking at future needs in Clarington. They are
aware that within a two year period 25 students with developmental disabilities
will be graduating from Courtice Secondary School. This is not taking into
account the regular referrals they receive from the community at large. Currently
there are 35 registered active members at the centre. With this in mind, they are
planning around the support demands these changes will bring to Clarington.
With all partners involved, the building at 132 Church Street is being used to its
maximum. The youth Centre has experienced a significant increase in activity.
The space in the rest of the leased portion of the building is being used to its full
capacity. It has become apparent that they are in need of a larger space. They are
requesting that the Municipality consider the Clarington Project Activity Centre
for the Library location on Church Street when it becomes available. Realizing
that the Library will not be moving for some time, consideration and confirmation
to relocate to the Library location would give the Clarington Project the
opportunity to make the plans needed for a smooth transition to a new location.
(Motion to refer correspondence to the
Property Manager)
D-4 Lori Ullius, Program Manager, Health Department, Regional Municipality of
Durham, requesting Council to proclaim June 2000 as "Health Before Pregnancy"
month in the Municipality of Clarington. During this month, Durham Region
Health -Department Public Health Nurses will highlight lifestyle habits before
pregnancy that can affect the health of the baby. The overall theme is "Health
Before Pregnancy Makes A Difference" with the following topics given special
consideration: —
• Healthy nutrition (a diet which includes foods rich in folic acid)
• Active living (healthy body weight)
• Avoidance of alcohol and substance use
• Awareness of community resources
Throughout this month, the campaign will include radio and television
announcements, displays, newspaper articles and posters throughout Durham
Region.
(Motion to Proclaim)
D-5 The Waterfront Center, providing Council with the Waterfront Projects entry
guidelines. 2000 Excellence on the Waterfront is a juried competition to
recognize: top-quality urban waterfront projects; comprehensive waterfront plans
and outstanding citizen efforts. There are seven project types so that undertakings
of alike nature are judged against each other. Projects maybe from anytime
period, current or historic; submittals of classic projects like the San Antonio
Riverwalk are encouraged. If new work, the project must be substantially built.
Summary of Correspondence ] 0 - May 8, 2000
The following examples given are meant to be suggestive only and do not restrict
entries to the listed types of projects: Artistic/Cultural/Educational Fountains,
concert facilities, public art or aquariums/nature centers. Deadlines must be
postmarked by July 1, 2000.
(Motion to direct Municipal Clerk to place
an advertisement in the local newspapers to
advise residents of the competition)
D-6 Mike Slocombe, Operations Technician, Region of Durham, advising Council that
within accordance of the Weed Control Act R.S.O. 1990, Chapter -W.5, the -
Regional Municipality of Durham is responsible for the enforcement of -the Act
within the Region. As allowed for under section 16 of the Act, the Region
requires that Council pass a resolution directing the Regional Weed Inspector(s)
to:
• Destroy any noxious weeds or weed seeds on any subdivided portions of the
municipality and on lots not exceeding 10 acres;
• The municipality advertise in a newspaper having general circulation in our
municipality notice of this action.
The Region of Durham will require certified copies of the Notice to Property
Owners and the resolution. The Notice of Property Owners should be advertised
in a newspaper between May 15, 2000 and May 19, 2000.
(Motion to authorize the publication of a
Public Notice, regarding the destruction of
weeds under the provision of the Weed
Control Act, R.S.O. 1990 Chapter W.5 of
the Province of Ontario and direct the
Regional Weed inspectors to cause noxious
weeds or weed seeds to be destroyed in such

Summary of Correspondence - I 1 - May 8, 2000
D - 7 Newton Reed, Secretary York Presbytery, writing Council regarding the Oak
Ridges Moraine. York Presbytery of the United Church of Canada passed the
following resolution:
"Faith Base: We believe in the abundance of God's creation and our
responsibility to nurture and share it. The New Creed of
The United Church of Canada states that we are called to
live with respect in Creation.
- Background: The Oak Ridges Moraine covers a large number of hectares
in the middle of York Presbytery, extending beyond our
eastern and western borders.
The Moraine is an environmentally sensitive area which is
not yet fully understood. It is the source of several streams
and rivers. York Presbytery feels the need for much more
comprehensive scientific study to be done on the Moraine
and adjoining regions.
The Moraine is a part of several municipalities, and those
municipalities have not come together to form a common
approach to development on the Moraine. The Provincial
Government, the only body capable of the required
research and coordination, has adopted a `hands-off
approach, which may very well leave the critical decisions
by default to a few members of the non -elected Ontario
Municipal Board.
It is our view that the potential exists for irreparable
damage to be done to the environment by hasty or ill-
considered development on the Moraine.
THERFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that York Presbytery contact the various
municipalities, and the Federal and Provincial Governments, and the
Ontario Municipal Board, asking that a freeze be placed on development
on the Oak Ridges Moraine until such time as a common environmental
study may be made, and so that the Province, in consultation with the
Federal and Municipal governments, can provide a common, responsible,
and properly funded approach, to ensure both the viability of the
ecosystem and due attention to housing needs; and
THAT copies of this motion be sent to the offices of other religious
groups; and
Summary of Correspondence - 12- May 8, 2000
THAT copies of this resolution be forwarded to the Sierra Club, the
Canadian Wildlife Society, the Nature Conservancy of Canada, Save the
Oak Ridges Moraine, Save the Rouge Moraine, and the Federation of
Ontario Naturalists; and
THAT York Presbytery petition Toronto Conference to pass a similar
resolution on Development on the Oak Ridges Moraine."
(Motion for Direction)
D - 8 William Irving, V.P. 4 -Pitch, on behalf of the Courtice Parks Baseball and -
Softball Association, requesting support and some assistance in the construction
of a Batting Cage and Storage Unit for the Courtice Parks Baseball and Softball
Association. The C.P.B.S.A. has, for the last 13 years, been providing summer
baseball, softball, 4 -pitch and T -Ball programs for young people ages 4 to 18 yrs.
in the Courtice area. They are a non-profit association, operated by volunteers,
funded solely through player registration fees and team sponsorships. This year
they have over 500 players registered and a total of 41 teams. The Batting Cage
and Storage Unit they are proposing will greatly enhance their ability to develop
players fundamental skills as well as provide a more convenient and less costly
storage place for uniforms and equipment. A letter outlining their proposal for the
project was sent to Mr. Stephen Vokes, Director of Public Works. This letter
prompted further discussions with Public Works with respect to project design,
costs estimates, etc. and they value our experience and appreciate our help in this
matter. Their Association has fundraised specifically for this purpose and has
$25,000.00 allocated for the project. Current estimates suggest that this will not
likely cover the entire cost of the project and therefore they are asking Council's
assistance in the form of a grant in the amount of $5,000.00 to help them with this
project.

Authority was working behind people's backs. He stated that it had always been an

REPORT 02
THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON
REPORT
Meeting: COUNCIL
File #
Date: May S 2000 Res.#
Report # ADMIN. 16 - 2000 — _=
Subject: Tuition Assistance and Membership Fees for Members -of C=wrncif
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that Council approve the following:
1. That Report ADMIN. 16 - 2000 be received
2. That Council approve the policies regarding tuition assistance for Members of
Council as contained in Report ADMIN. 16 - 2000.
REPORT:
1. Background
1.1 The Mayor has drawn to the attention of the Chief Administrative Officer that the
Municipality does not have any policy regarding tuition assistance- for Members
of Council. To the extent there is a policy void, it has been the past practice that
the Mayor will exercise discretion to either approve or disapprove the request of
any Member of Council for payment of the tuition fee on education courses,
including the annual membership fee for professional association such as the
Association of Municipal Clerks and Treasurers (A.M.C.T.).
1.2 Since municipal staff are permitted full reimbursement for educational courses
that are necessary to upgrade their work skills, such policy has generally been
used on those rare occasions when a Member of Council requested tuition
assistance for educational courses.
Comments
The Chief Administrative Officer has reviewed the subject matter and would offer
the following comments:
2.1 The lack of policy has created several problems, such as:
• Inconsistency in application of criteria and qualification of courses eligible for
payment by the Municipality.
• Not all Members of Council are interested in having the Municipality pay for
their educational pursuit, while others may decide to seek payment.
2.2 Tuition assistance to staff has been in place for several years and was recently
updated (attachment #1). The purpose is to encourage professional development
of employees who will enhance his/her skills and knowledge in the work place.
This principle, however, cannot be applied to Members of Council for the very
simple reason that they are not employees and therefore the need to upgrade work
related skills and knowledge is not applicable. Therefore, it would be difficult to
justify using tax dollars to subsidize part or all tuition fees for any Member of
Council enrolled in any educational courses, as the benefits of such are largely
personal in nature as opposed to a requirement of the job.
Policies
That effectively immediately upon Council's approval, the Municipality will not
pay for any educational courses to any Member of Council, including any
membership fee of any professional association. The only exception is orientation
seminars offered to new Members of Council by the Ministry of Municipal
Affairs and Housing.
Respectfully submitted,
