I - 8 Ernie Hardeman, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, regarding the
recent changes in the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs
( OMAFRA). He is advising Council that this government remains committed to
keeping Ontario's farm and rural families competitive by ensuring that they have
the information they need to make sound business decisions. For example, they
are partnering with their strong provincial agricultural organizations as well as
with private and emerging not - for - profit sector groups. As technology continues
to become more vital to communication and more complex in nature, the need for
specialized staff with specialized skills increases. This realignment of ministry
field operations allows OMAFRA the flexibility to increase both the number of
different channels by which information is provided, and the number of
specialized staff whose efforts will help secure an enhanced future for Ontario's
family farms. In the future, 13 sites across Ontario will house OMAFRA staff.
They will be able to provide expert information to farmers and agri- businesses
across the province, in a variety of ways, to optimize the use of public funds.

Assessment Corporation, 1305 Pickering Parkway, Pickering, L1V 3P2, advising
Council that the Ontario Property Assessment Corporation and the Ontario Public
Service Employees Union ( OPSEU) are in collective agreement negotiations.

provisions in the agreement which will give them the flexibility to meet their
needs for timely, accurate and complete property assessments at a reasonable cost.
At the same time, they are trying to provide their employees with a contract which
will encourage them to be both productive and customer focused. Negotiations to
date have been professionally handled and fruitful. They are, however,
approaching the final stages of negotiations, at which time they will have to deal
with the more difficult issues.

1-30 Greg Bales, Area Technician, Ministry of Natural Resources, advising Council of
the first public meeting being held on Thursday March 23, 2000, from 7:00 to
9:00 p.m. at the Orono Arena and Community Centre, 2 Princess Street, Orono,
regarding the Orono Dam and Orono Forest Land Property. The Orono Dam and
Mill Pond are located on Orono Creels at the 5th Concession in the Municipality of
Clarington, Village of Orono. The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR)
currently owns the dam and mill pond and the Aurora District Office manages and
operates the dam. The Orono Mill Pond dam was reconstructed in 1954 and was
built to create a reservoir for the irrigation operations at the Orono Nursery.
Water from the reservoir was drawn through an intake structure to the nursery for
irrigation of the tree stock. Operation of the existing dam is no longer required
for tree nursery operations. Nursery operations have ceased and two portions of
the property have been sold with the remainder in the title of MNR. The Aurora
District MNR office has hired Gartner Lee Limited consultant company to carry
out a study of the mill pond and dam structure. The objective of the proposed
study is to assess options for the dam and potential effects on upstream high and
low water levels and downstream flooding. Any proposed change in operation of
a dam is subject to a Class Environmental Assessment (E.A.) process. At the
public meeting comments and information collected regarding this proposal will
be kept on file and unless otherwise requested, will be available for public review.
Final notice of this project will be sent to those who reply to this notice and to
those who are most directly affected.

1-31 Honourable David M. Collenette, Minister of Transport, writing to Mayor Wayne
Arthurs, Pickering regarding the federally owned Pickering Lands Site and the
update on the Stakeholders Committee's work. He would like to advise us that
progress is being made on the Pickering Lands issue and that meaningful, ongoing
dialogue is taking place among the interested parties. Mayor Arthur's letter
references the support of all affected municipalities, with the exception of
Markham, for the Sub - committee's recommendation in principle to adopt the
"agreements" approach as the proposed alternative. It is imperative that all
affected municipalities enter into sound and sustainable agreements in support of
the accepted alternative. To this end, he asks that Pickering obtain or reconfirm
the views of all of the municipalities concerned, including Scugog and Toronto,
with respect to:
Summary of Correspondence - 11 - March 27, 2000
a) their support of the Sub - committee's recommendation to utilize municipal
by -laws as the proposed alternative to enacting federal airport zoning
regulations; and
b) proceeding with the declaration of the Pickering Lands Site as an "airport
site ".
With respect to the latter point, he understands that there is now wide
understanding and acceptance that the "declaration as an airport site" must
proceed under either alternative. Therefore, he considers it prudent to proceed
with the "declaration" phase in order to allow the more detailed work to
commence.

1-32 Association of Municipalities of Ontario, advising Council that the
March 31, 2000, deadline for setting upper tier tax rates has been extended to
April 30, 2000. Minister Clement filed Ontario Regulation 181/00 on Friday,
March 17, 2000, which implemented the extension to April 30, 2000, for the
deadline for setting upper tier rating by -laws. AMO has pressed Ministers
Clement and Eves to make this change since upper tiers, in the absence of the
2000 LSR/CRF allocations have not been able to complete their budgets. The
date for release of the LSR/CRF information has not been announced, but since
the tax rate date was extended in recognition of the delay in LSR/CRF
information, one can speculate that it should be released sooner rather than later if
councils are to be given time to make informed budget and tax rate decisions.
Regulations providing for a new optional property class for specified professional
sports facilities located in Toronto and the Regional Municipality of Ottawa -
Carleton were filed on March 13, 2000. The regulations define the class, extend
the date for adopting the optional class to April 30, prescribe the range for
fairness for the class and exclude the sports facilities from the applicable property
tax cap system for the two municipalities.

CORRESPONDENCE FOR DIRECTION
D - 1 Angela Mastrangelo, Chapter Chairperson, Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada,
Durham Regional Chapter, requesting Council to approve May 11, 12 and 13,
2000, as "Tag Days ". May is "MS Carnation Month" across Canada. The
Multiple Sclerosis Society, Durham Chapter, are geared up to make the 2000
Carnation Campaign the best ever. MS Carnation sales traditionally coincide with
Mother's Day weekend, with this year's event taking place on May 11, 12 and 13,
2000. The sale of carnations at locations within the Durham Region helps them
raise approximately $2 million across Canada to support vital on -going research
for persons with MS and their families. Right now over 50,000 Canadians,
primarily in their family and career- building years, have MS. Although the cause
of the disease is still unknown and a cure has not yet been discovered, research is
making process.
(Motion to grant permission to the Multiple
Sclerosis Society of Canada to sell
carnations on May 11, 12 and 13, 2000,
provided all funds raised are donated to the
Multiple Sclerosis Society)
D-2 Ramona Kaptyn, Executive Director, National Kids' Day /The Smile Trust,
requesting Council to proclaim Saturday, June 10, 2000, National Kid's Day.
Last year, 172 Mayors across Canada proclaimed the day, almost double the
number from the year before. It was an overwhelming success and significant
funds were raised for 22 Canadian children's charities. A good part of this
success can be attributed to the mayors who proclaimed the day and held events.
Mayors' involvement encouraged Canadian corporations, associations and the
public to participate in celebrating the special place our children hold in our hearts
and in our society and contributed greatly to helping Canadian kids in need.
Summary of Correspondence -13 - March 27, 2000
Their fundraising initiative this year is their Change for Change Campaign.
Children are being asked to seek out spare change to bring about change that will
benefit kids less fortunate than themselves. Corporations and other supporters of
National Kids' Day will also be joining in this fundraiser. Coins can be dropped
off across Canada at various locations including participating Town/City Halls,
participating shopping malls, all Toys "R" Us stores and all CIBC branches.

D - 3 Louise Bujarsky, 47 Cecil Found Crescent, Courtice, L1E 2W1, regarding
concerns she has about the construction near her home. The developer has built a
house in front of her home so a fence would not be needed, however, the dirt, dust
and litter has not ceased; as a matter of act it is worse. Ms. Bujarsky would like to
know what the builder's plans are to repair the damage that has been done to the
lawns. There is also the extra work in keeping her property clean inside and
outside. Another concern has arisen and that is the builder is starting construction
in the back of the house and now she has a big pile of dirt directly at the fence.

Director of Public Works)
D-4 John Kock, 84 Rhonda Boulevard, Bowmanville, L I C 3Y9, regarding lack of
service. One night, Mr. Kock was awakened at 3:30 a.m. by the sound of the
snowplow at the school next door. He has tried to deal with the school board and
they seem quite polite and willing to help. However, this is the sixth consecutive
winter in which he has had to call and complain. He is in the process of trying to
apply a bit more pressure via the by -law enforcement office, but they tell him that
what they can do, adds up to a letter to the board. Quite often, he arrives at home
shortly after 3:15 p.m. Mr. Kock cannot get into his driveway because of the cars
parked in front of it, or on occasion parked in it. There is a no stopping zone in
front of his house, because of the school. Mr. Kock has asked the by -law
enforcement office for help, but of course, when they show up no one parks
illegally that day, but the next day is right back to business. One day last summer
he found a golf ball in the backyard, he assumes from the park which is located
behind him. Later that day, he found the broken window which goes with it.
These is a sign in the park which states that there is a by -law prohibiting golfing.
However, the violators always practice their golf outside of the business hours of
the by -law enforcement officers. The park behind him is at a higher elevation
than his property. After dark the park becomes a refuge for teens and young
adults who engage in illegal activity. There is a drainage ditch, which is meant to
direct the water around his and his neighbour's homes. In the spring they often
get a quick thaw /freeze cycle, which causes this ditch to fill with ice. This makes
it ineffective for any following rains. He has had the Works Department out to
look at it but has been told that any changes will make the grass hard to cut. Mr.
Kock has a manhole cover in his front lawn.
Summary of Correspondence -14- March 27, 2000
His wife tries hard to cover it with grass or decorate it, but every year the Works
Department comes and digs it up. When they are done with it, they leave it
uncovered. His house and his neighbour's are slightly isolated. As a result, the
garbage and /or blue box collection people occasionally overlook them.

Director of Public Works, the Senior
Municipal Law Enforcement Officer and to
the Durham Regional Police, 16 Division)
D- 5 Sgt. Paul A. Malik, Community Services Coordinator, Community Services Unit,
Durham Regional Police Service, requesting permission to erect approved
Neighbourhood Watch signs in the Sunset Boulevard Area. Through the
implementation of Crime Prevention Programs, dedicated community volunteers
work with police to help reduce crime in their communities. One such "Citizen
Involved" Crime Prevention Program is Neighbourhood Watch. It is a project
which employs an elegantly simple technique of "neighbours looking out for
neighbours" to reduce the threats of crime against potential victims. This letter is
to introduce us to a group of concerned citizens who want to get involved in such
a program. Through persistence, devotion and hard work, these people have
made an honourable effort to form a Neighbourhood Watch within their
community. They have met all criteria as set out in the Durham Regional Police
Service "Neighbourhood Watch Guidelines" and have received a commitment
from their fellow neighbours of a least 75% participation.
(Motion to approve installation of
Neighbourhood Watch signs in this area)

D - 8 Helen Johns, Minister of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation, introducing Council
to the newly created Syl Apps Awards of Excellence aimed to recognize and
celebrate Young Ontarians personal accomplishments, strength of character and
contribution to their community. Syl Apps was a Canadian pole -vault champion,
a proud member of the Canadian Olympic Team, a star centre and Caption for the

community to participate in the 2000 Syl Apps Awards of Excellence program.
Each community in Ontario has the opportunity to nominate up to four young
people, one male and one female for each of the two age categories, for the
Regional Syl Apps Awards. It will be a tremendous honour for youth and an
exciting opportunity to be considered for the Provincial Syl Apps Award, part of
the Ontario Sports Awards program. Nominations must be delivered to our local

D - 10 Frank Hoar, Secretary, Newcastle Ratepayers Association, advising that the
Association passed a resolution that a letter be sent to the Clarington Council
asking that we delay the proceedings in regards to the construction of a new
library in Bowmanville for the time being. In no way is their group suggesting
that additional space is not required, but with plans to proceed with restructuring
of local governments throughout all the 905 area, they feel it would be prudent for
Council to study all scenarios, including parking. Possibly adequate space will
become available in the present town hall when restructuring occurs. If
overcrowding of the present facility is a problem then, possibly the hours of
operation could be extended for the short-term.

D - 11 Reeve Charles Sangster, The Corporation of the Township of South Giengarry,
advising that, pursuant to advice from the Honourable Tony Clement, the Council
of the Township of South Glengarry passed the following resolution on
February 28, 2000:
"BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Provincial Water Protection Fund was
created to fix water and sewage infrastructure that is creating problems for
human health and the environment. This fund is now fully expended and
we understand that there are some in Government that are not convinced
that this fund is needed;
The program identified priority projects and provided a funding level that
considered the ability to pay. This program is extremely important to rural
municipalities that have low growth rates and limited population to
support the capital cost involved in constructing these essential water and
sewage projects. Without this continued form of assistance essential water
and sewage projects are not affordable.
THEREFORE the Council of the Township of South Glengarry hereby
petitions the Treasurer of Ontario and the Minister of the Environment to
ensure that an adequate amount of funding be included in the forthcoming
Provincial Budget to ensure that areas that have identified environmental
problems be given adequate funding assistance to help them deal with
problems that affect the quality of drinking water and /or are polluting the
environment."

WHEREAS Municipalities do not have the funds to maintain these
downloaded roads without increasing property taxes; and
Summary of Correspondence -17- March 27, 2000
WHEREAS taxpayers feel they are already paying for the maintenance of
these roads through the above mentioned taxes; and
THEREFORE be it resolved that the Provincial Government turn a
percentage of the above taxes collected over to the lower tier
Governments;
Wellesley Township Council further recommended that this resolution be
circulated to all municipalities for their consideration, support and action
and that you send a copy of your endorsement to the Premier of Ontario,

Chalk River Nuclear Labs at an estimated cost of $400 million, with
funding to be provided by the federal government;
WHEREAS the Council of the County of Renfrew where Chalk River

D - 14 Garth Gilpin, Secretary - Treasurer and General Manager, Bowmanville Business
Improvement Centre, requesting to install two additional signs with which to
advertise their various festivals. These signs, which would be of the same design
and size as the ones already in existence next to Baker's Dozen and east of the
bridge over Barber's Creek (also known as Bowmanville Creels), are proposed to
be located on Municipal property near the Tourist Information Centre on Liberty
Street South, and on Regional Road 57, on land occupied by the Garnet B.
Rickard Recreation Complex. The signs would each involve two decorative posts
positioned perpendicular to the roads mentioned and would contain signage on
both sides to accommodate both north and south traffic. The signage would be
changed from time to time, as the events advertised come and go. The cost of
installing and maintaining these signs would, of course, be paid for out of their
Annual Budget. It is their plan to attempt to have one or both of these signs in
place for the Fabulous Fifties Festival which takes place in late June.

John Weirsma. President, Veridian Connections, 1920 Bayly Street,
Pickering, L 1 W 3R6 provided a presentation to Council with respect to the
Veridian Corporatization. Mr. Weirsma explained the two distribution
companies within the Municipality of Clarington, corporatization issues
and potential impacts on hydro rates for the residents of Clarington.
Within the municipality, Ontario Hydro Services Company provides
power for 13,000 customers and Veridian Corporation provides power for
11,000 customers. The shares in Veridian are broken down as follows:
• City of Pickering - 47.6%
• Town of Ajax - 35.5%
• Municipality of Clarington - 16.9%
The Corporation realizes assets in the amount of $137 million, revenue in
the amount of $96 million, 59,000 customers and 114 employees. The
Corporation is run by a Board of Directions of 15 members and this
number will be reduced to 12 members come January 1, 2001. This Board
of Directors must approve the rates which in turn must be approved by the
Ontario Energy Board. New unbundled rates must be implemented
November 1, 2000. A commercial rate of return of 9.88% is necessary to
meet the goals of the municipal shareholders. The rate impact rebate
could limit the improvements to the effective rates of return from the
current rate of 4% to improvement increment of 1% annually until the
commercial rate is realized. The fact that this is under consideration
demonstrates the tyne of local accountability at work in Veridian.

Mr. Abati advised that the Conservation Authority is approaching all
municipalities to determine their interests in this advertising. Upon
creation of the report, it will be sent to all municipalities in order to protect
various woodlots and environmentally protected areas. It is the hope that
production can be increased to allow for all schools and libraries in the

Councillor Schell stated a disclosure of pecuniary interest with respect to
the next three delegations and refrained from discussion and voting on the
subject matter. Councillor Schell advised that the delegations pertain
specifically to his employer Blue Circle Canada Inc.
Mavis Carlton, addressed Council on behalf of the Port Darlington
Community Association, 119 Cove Road, Bowmanville, LIC 3K3 with
respect to report PD -022-00. She advised that since the formation of the
Community Relations Committee, communications between Blue Circle
and the surrounding communities has improved, however this does not
remove or prevent discussion between residents and their Council
members. With respect to the increase in annual tonnage extraction,
Ms. Carlton emphasized it is imperative that Council determines what is
meant by "impacts on residents" referenced in Report PD -022-00. She
suggested that perhaps this is a job that could be referred to the
Community Relations Committee. Residents in the area still have
concerns about dust, noise, blasting and vibration.
Council Minutes - 4 - March 6. 2000
DELEGATIONS
The dust suppression methods used this year during the removal of the
overburden have been nowhere near as satisfactory as was the case in the
previous year. This has been acknowledged but the situation has not been
remedied. Concerns have been expressed recently about blasting. At a
September 23, 1999, open house, residents asked that mobile blast
monitoring be initiated through the Community Relations Committee but
no action has been taken on this issue to date. She is requesting that a
mobile station be added to the conditions in the staff recommendations.
Ms. Carlton indicated that it is critical that Council clearly indicate what
will be done if Blue Circle's continuing operations result in impacts on the
residential communities in spite of conditions proposed by staff.
Lynn Davidson, Blue Circle Canada Inc., 400 Waverly Road South,
Bowmanville, LIC 3K3 addressed Council together with
Ian McNaughton, McNaughton Hermsen Britton Clarkson. Planning
Consultants in support of the recommendations contained in Report
PD -022-00. Ms. Davidson advised that the Community Relations
Committee has been a positive vehicle for both Blue Circle Canada Inc.
and the residents of the area and stated that Blue Circle is interested in
continuing with this process. Mr. McNaughton spoke in support of the
recommendations and requested an opportunity to speak with staff and
Ontario Hydro with respect to the mobile blast monitoring which the Port
Darlington Community Association has requested.
Bill Humber, 15 Beech Street, Bowmanville, LIC 3A1 appeared before
Council on behalf of the Old Bowmanville Neighbourhood Association,
representing residents of that area bounded by Wellington. Concession and
Liberty Streets. He indicated that during the past several months,
neighbours in this part of Bowmanville have been meeting to discuss their
concerns regarding the future of their neighbourhood including the aging
character of environmental features such as trees, increasing traffic,
concerns surrounding the historic ambience of the area and the impact of
upgraded services. Mr. Humber advised that a meeting was held with
Town officials on January 19, 2000, which attracted over 80 people. On
February 23, 2000, 50 residents met in the Clarington Beech Centre to
formalize an Old Bowmanville Neighbourhood Association. A survey
completed in January, asked residents to consider issues that have been
privately and publicly voiced by many people in the neighbourhood. An
overwhelming majority (88.5%) indicated that they would like a
Comprehensive Analysis undertaken of the area which includes issues of
Streetscape Design, public safety and history before any changes are
implemented.
Council Minutes - 5 - March 6, 2000
DELEGATIONS
As a follow-up measure, a design team of four environmental engineering
technology students has been consulted who over the next several months
are assisting the group in developing some Cohesive Design ideas for their
neighbourhood. Issues raised at the February 23. 2000, meeting, several
issues were again raised which reinforce those collected in the earlier
survey and expressed at the previous meetings. Mr. Humber
recommended the following:
• Create, in consultation with area residents, a streetscape plan for the
neighbourhood to guide the process of development over the next
several decades;
• Ensuring that planned serviced upgrades conform to this plan:
• Engage an arboreal specialist to collect an inventory of trees in the
area and report on their health, future liability and the opportunities for
a tree planting program:
• Establish a series of immediate traffic calming measures.
He asked that Council support the above recommendations by requesting a
staff report on their concerns, designing a process to allow for an
immediate detailed Streetscape Plan with significant input from residents
and ensuring that such plan is in place prior to any engineered upgrades or
other physical changes being undertaken.
Councillor Novak stated a pecuniary interest with respect to the following
delegations, vacated her chair and refrained from discussion. Councillor
Novak advised that members of her family reside in the immediate area.
Norm Monaghan, 15 Westmore Street, Courtice, LIC 2H8 distributed to
Council a package of information pertaining to environmentally sensitive
areas in the Durham Regional Official Plan. In all of the documentation,
the words "environmentally sensitive" are very prominent. He feels there
must be a reason for this and believes that by having the Ontario Ministry
of Natural Resources finish the mapping of the Provincially significant
Black -Farewell Wetland Complex below the dash line, which has been
marked by the Ministry based on misinformation, will give the
Municipality answers to their environmental issues. A formal request by
Planning is required and this matter could be speedily cleared up. He is
therefore requesting that Council ratify the decision of the General
Purpose and Administration Committee related to this matter.
Council Minutes - 6 - March 6, 2000
DELEGATIONS
Kerry Meydam. 3828 Trulls Road. Courtice. LIE 2L3 thanked members
of Council for their support at the General Purpose and Administration
Committee Meeting to request the Ministry of Natural Resources to
complete the Wetland Complex mapping of the Black -Farewell Area. She
stated that if this designation is made in a timely manner, the Ontario
Municipal Board can properly deal with the Blackcreek Development
Application before it. Ms. Meydam stated that she does not want to stop
development but she does want to ensure that no more of the wetland
complex is impacted.
Hannu Halminen, Blackcreek Developments Limited, 1748 Baseline Road
West. Courtice, L 1 E 2T I appeared before Council and requested that the
recommendation of the General Purpose and Administration Committee
relating to the mapping of the Wetland Complex not be endorsed by
Council. He stated that this matter is before the Ontario Municipal Board
and that is where it should remain. He has never disputed that wetlands
exist in this area and stated that no lots will impact the large wetland in the
middle of the property. Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority has
concluded that an extension to George Reynolds Drive will do less
damage to the wetland complex than an extension of Adelaide Avenue
will, therefore the Ministry of Natural Resources does not need to be
brought into this picture again. Mr. Halminen stated that it is
inappropriate for Council to interfere with this application at this time as it
has been forwarded to the Ontario Municipal Board.

Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA)
outlining solutions to deal with the impacts of Intensive Farming. Ontario
municipalities recognize and are very proud of the province's agricultural
industry. At the same time, there are emerging environmental, economic
and social issues arising from intensive livestock operations that create
conflicts within Ontario's rural communities. Municipalities want a
balanced approach and want to work with provincial officials, the
agricultural industry and stakeholders within Ontario's communities to
resolve these problems. AMO is proposing several initiatives:
i. Research;
ii. Education and Communication;
Voluntary Initiatives;
iv. Regulatory Framework;
V. Monitoring/Enforcement.

by Wellington. Concession and Liberty streets in the old town of
Bowmanville have recently organized themselves for the purposes of
developing proactive ideas for the future enhancement of their
neighbourhood. This initiative is partly in response to the future
implications of increasing traffic and public works upgrades to sewers and

1 - 7 Roger Anderson, Regional Chair, Region of Durham, thanking the Greater
LI LPR Oshawa Chamber of Commerce for their letter of January 28, 2000.
Mr. Anderson would like to respond to several of the Greater Oshawa
Chamber of Commerce's points and clarify the position of the Regional
Municipality of Durham. When Regional Councillors adopted the eight
resolutions at Fern Resort, they did so unanimously and were aware of the
Oshawa Chamber of Commerce's position regarding governance. The
recommendations indeed do not define a modified two-tier system or
slimmed down Region. Those issues are part of the discussion regarding
future governance in Durham. They need to decide what modifications
they would like to see implemented. In the final analysis, they will require
cost analysis data and business case models before they are able to make
an informed decision on what model(s) best meet these objectives. He
would appreciate receipt of the data and existing information the Greater
Oshawa Chamber of Commerce has used to lead them to your position on
a preferred model. The Region agrees completely with their statement
"governments must be more cost effective, efficient and accountable to the
people". This is exactly why they are conducting such a review process.
It is the position of the Region of Durham that a two-tier system is the
most realistic model at this time, particularly with all the major services
added to the Region from the Province, and is in the best interests of their
citizens. While at Fem they recognized it might be that some lower tier
municipalities need to consider potential amalgamations. However, that is
an issue that needs to be discussed and resolved at the lower tier level.

Anthony Polci, Special Assistant - Ontario Office of the Minister of
C 10.MO
Transport, thanking Council for their letter dated January 5, 2000, to the
Honourable David M. Collenette, Minister of Transport. regarding the
hours of service for commercial truck drivers. The hours of service
standard that currently applies to commercial vehicle drivers is being
reviewed by a committee under the auspices of the Canadian Council of
Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA). This committee is composed
of federal and provincial regulators, industry and labour representatives
and other interested parties. The task of the committee is to undertake a
review of the current regime covering the work rules that apply to
commercial vehicle drivers and to improve safety by employing recent
findings in the areas of fatigue and fatigue countermeasures. It has been
noted that the current rules are difficult to understand and enforce and
would benefit from simplification and updating. The department shares
our views that commercial vehicle drivers' on -duty hours should not be
increased. Indeed, discussions by the CCMTA committee have focused
on providing greater opportunities for drivers to obtain more rest on a
daily basis by increasing the minimum off-duty time that a driver must
observe. This being the case, a 25 per cent increase in mandatory off-duty
time has been proposed, which would result in a reduced workday. This
proposal has been well received by industry representatives. The
committee is also recommending changes to several other aspects of the
regime in order to provide further opportunities for drivers to rest and
intends to develop the text of a revised standard later this year. At that
time, it is anticipated that information sessions will be conducted in
selected locations across Canada. Subsequently, federal and provincial
governments will consider the committee's recommendations.

T03.GE UT 7P9, advising Council that it has been CAA's policy to support an
integrated and balanced plan for urban transportation, a plan that calls for
investment in roads as well as public transit. Although the clubs were an
active partner in the process leading up to the signing of the Greater
Toronto Services Board Transportation Accord, they declined to sign the
accord because they believe the GTSB transportation plan does not call for
a balanced approach to transportation in the GTA. They are concerned
that the focus of the GTSB, as outlined in its Removing Roadblocks study,
is transit -centered and ignores motorists or proposes to penalize them. As
they told GTSB staff, they agree with parts of the accord and disagree with
others. We need a solution that is acceptable to the public and embraced
by residents living and working in the GTA and Hamilton -Wentworth.
Without a balanced approach in shaping the plan or widening the scope to
include a multi -disciplined proposal, CAA can not, and will not support
the GTSB Transportation Accord.

-8 Ernie Hardeman. Minister of Agriculture. Food and Rural Affairs, regarding the
recent changes in the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture. Food and Rural Affairs
(OMAFRA). fie is advising Council that this government remains committed to
keeping Ontario's farm and rural families competitive by ensuring that they have
the information they need to make sound business decisions. For example, they
are partnering with their strong provincial agricultural organizations as well as
with private and emerging not-for-profit sector groups. As technology continues
to become more vital to communication and more complex in nature, the need for
specialized staff with specialized skills increases. This realignment of ministry
field operations allows OMAFRA the flexibility to increase both the number of
different channels by which information is provided, and the number of
specialized staff whose efforts will help secure an enhanced future for Ontario's
family farms. In the future, 13 sites across Ontario will house OMAFRA staff.
They will be able to provide expert information to farmers and agri-businesses
across the province, in a variety of ways, to optimize the use of public funds.

9:00 p.m. at the Orono Arena and Community Centre, 2 Princess Street, Orono,
regarding the Orono Dam and Orono Forest Land Property. The Orono Dam and
Mill Pond are located on Orono Creek at the 5'h Concession in the Municipality of
Clarington. Village of Orono. The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR)
currently owns the dam and mill pond and the Aurora District Office manages and
operates the dam. The Orono Mill Pond dam was reconstructed in 1954 and was
built to create a reservoir for the irrigation operations at the Orono Nursery.
Water from the reservoir was drawn through an intake structure to the nursery for
irrigation of the tree stock. Operation of the existing dam is no longer required
for tree nursery operations. Nursery operations have ceased and two portions of
the property have been sold with the remainder in the title of MNR. The Aurora
District MNR.otfice has hired Gartner Lee Limited consultant company to carry
out a study of the mill pond and dam structure. The objective of the proposed
study is to assess options for the dam and potential effects on upstream high and
low water levels and downstream flooding. Any proposed change in operation of
a dam is subject to a Class Environmental Assessment (E.A.) process. At the
public meeting comments and information collected regarding this proposal will
be kept on file and unless otherwise requested, will be available for public review.
Final notice of this project will be sent to those who reply to this notice and to
those who are most directly affected.

understanding and acceptance that the "declaration as an airport site" must
proceed under either alternative. Therefore, he considers it prudent to proceed
with the "declaration' phase in order to allow the more detailed work to

1-32 Association of Municipalities of Ontario, advising Council that the
March 31, 2000, deadline for setting upper tier tax rates has been extended to
April 30, 2000. Minister Clement filed Ontario Regulation 181/00 on Friday,
March 17, 2000, which implemented the extension to April 30. 2000, for the
deadline for setting upper tier rating by-laws. AMO has pressed Ministers
Clement and Eves to make this change since upper tiers, in the absence of the
2000 LSR/CRF allocations have not been able to complete their budgets. The
date for release of the LSR/CRF information has not been announced, but since
the tax rate date was extended in recognition of the delay in LSR/CRF
information, one can speculate that it should be released sooner rather than later if
councils are to be given time to make informed budget and tax rate decisions.

CORRESPONDENCE FOR DIRECTION
D - I Angela Mastrangelo, Chapter Chairperson, Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada,
Durham Regional Chapter, requesting Council to approve May 11, 12 and 13,
2000, as "Tag Days". May is "MS Carnation Month" across Canada. The
Multiple Sclerosis Society, Durham Chapter, are geared up to make the 2000
Carnation Campaign the best ever. MS Carnation sales traditionally coincide with
Mother's Day weekend, with this year's event taking place on May 11. 12 and 13,
2000. The sale of carnations at locations within the Durham Region helps them
raise approximately $2 million across Canada to support vital on-going research
for persons with MS and their families. Right now over 50,000 Canadians,
primarily in their family and career -building years, have MS. Although the cause
of the disease is still unknown and a cure has not yet been discovered, research is
making process.
(Motion to grant permission to the Multiple
Sclerosis Society of Canada to sell
carnations on May 11, 12 and 13, 2000.
provided all funds raised are donated to the
Multiple Sclerosis Society)
D-2 Ramona Kaptyn, Executive Director, National Kids' Day/The Smile Trust,
requesting Council to proclaim Saturday, .lune 10, 2000, National Kid's Day.
Last year, 172 Mayors across Canada proclaimed the day, almost double the
number from the year before. It was an overwhelming success and significant
funds were raised for 22 Canadian children's charities. A good part of this
success can be attributed to the mayors who proclaimed the day and held events.
Mayors' involvement encouraged Canadian corporations, associations and the
public to participate in celebrating the special place our children hold in our hearts
and in our society and contributed greatly to helping Canadian kids in need.
Summary of Correspondence - 13 - March 27, 2000
Their fundraising initiative this year is their Change for Change Campaign.
Children are being asked to seek out spare change to bring about change that will
benefit kids less fortunate than themselves. Corporations and other supporters of
National Kids' Day will also be joining in this fundraiser. Coins can be dropped
off across Canada at various locations including participating Town/City Halls.
participating shopping malls, all Toys "R" Us stores and all CIBC branches.
(Motion to Proclaim)
D - 3 Louise Bujarsky, 47 Cecil Found Crescent, Courtice, LIE 2W1, regarding
concerns she has about the construction near her home. The developer has built a
house in front of her home so a fence would not be needed, however, the dirt, dust
and litter has not ceased: as a matter of act it is worse. Ms. Bujarsky would like to
know what the builder's plans are to repair the damage that has been done to the
lawns. There is also the extra work in keeping her property clean inside and
outside. ,mother concern has arisen and that is the builder is starting construction
in the back of the house and now she has a big pile of dirt directly at the fence.
(Motion to refer correspondence to the
Director of Public Works)
D-4 John Kock, 84 Rhonda Boulevard, Bowmanville, L 1C 3Y9, regarding lack of
service. One night, Mr. Kock was awakened at 3:30 a.m. by the sound of the
snowplow at the school next door. He has tried to deal with the school board and
they seem quite polite and willing to help. However, this is the sixth consecutive
winter in which he has had to call and complain. He is in the process of trying to
apply a bit more pressure via the by-law enforcement office, but they tell him that
what they can do, adds up to a letter to the board. Quite often, lie arrives at home
shortly after 3:15 p.m. Mr. Kock cannot get into his driveway because of the cars
parked in front of it, or on occasion parked in it. There is a no stopping zone in
front of his house, because of the school. Mr. Kock has asked the by-law
enforcement office for help, but of course, when they show up no one parks
illegally that day, but the next day is right back to business. One day last summer
he found a golf ball in the backyard, lie assumes from the park which is located
behind him. Later that day, he found the broken window which goes with it.
These is a sign in the park which states that there is a by-law prohibiting golfing.
However, the violators always practice their golf outside of the business hours of
the by-law enforcement officers. The park behind him is at a higher elevation
than his property. After dark the park becomes a refuge for teens and young
adults who engage in illegal activity. There is a drainage ditch, which is meant to
direct the water around his and his neighbour's homes. In the spring they often
get a quick thaw/freeze cycle, which causes this ditch to till with ice. This makes
it ineffective for any following rains. He has had the Works Department out to
look at it but has been told that any changes will make the grass hard to cut. Mr.
Kock has a manhole cover in his front lawn.
Summary of Correspondence - 14- March 27, 2000
His wife tries hard to cover it with grass or decorate it, but every year the Works
Department comes and digs it up. When they are done with it, they leave it
uncovered. His house and his neighbour's are slightly isolated. As a result, the
garbage and/or blue box collection people occasionally overlook them.
(Motion to refer correspondence to the
Director of Public Works, the Senior
Municipal Law Enforcement Officer and to
the Durham Regional Police, 16 Division)
D- 5 Sgt. Paul A. Malik, Community Services Coordinator, Community Services Unit,
Durham Regional Police Service, requesting permission to erect approved
Neighbourhood Watch signs in the Sunset Boulevard Area. Through the
implementation of Crime Prevention Programs, dedicated community volunteers
work with police to help reduce crime in their communities. One such "Citizen
Involved" Crime Prevention Program is Neighbourhood Watch. It is a project
which employs an elegantly simple technique of "neighbours looking out for
neighbours" to reduce the threats of crime against potential victims. This letter is
to introduce us to a group of concerned citizens who want to get involved in such
a program. Through persistence, devotion and hard work, these people have
made an honourable effort to form a Neighbourhood Watch within their
community. They have met all criteria as set out in the Durham Regional Police
Service "Neighbourhood Watch Guidelines" and have received a commitment
from their fellow neighbours of a least 75% participation.
(Motion to approve installation of
Neighbourhood Watch signs in this area)
D - 6 Ellen Logan, Secretary/Treasurer, Bowmanville Museum Board, nominating
Susan Laing (Friends of the Museum President), as a replacement for the Friends
Representative Board position made vacant by the death of Gladys Ashton.
(Motion to appoint Susan Laing to the
Bowmanville Museum Board and to pass the
appropriate by-law)
D - 7 R.B. Rickard, 507 Mill Street South, Newcastle, L1 B I G7, resigning as a member
of the Wilmot Creek Nature Area Association. Mr. Rickard is assisting the
Courtice Lions Club and therefore has a time conflict.
(Motion to accept the letter of resignation,
with regret, thank Mr. Rickard for his
dedication and refer correspondence to the
Clerk for appropriate action)

community to participate in the 2000 Syl Apps Awards of Excellence program.
Each community in Ontario has the opportunity to nominate up to four young
people, one male and one female for each of the two age categories, for the
Regional Syl Apps Awards. It will be a tremendous honour for youth and an

without amendment, Clause I of Transportation Committee Report No. 8
including recommendations that the report and Recommended Actions for
Implementation of the GTSB Strategic Transportation Plan for the Greater
Toronto Area and Hamilton -Wentworth (Appendix A) be circulated to member
municipalities and other stakeholders for comments. The deadline for comments

D - 10 Frank Hoar, Secretary, Newcastle Ratepayers Association, advising that the
Association passed a resolution that a letter be sent to the Clarington Council
asking that we delay the proceedings in regards to the construction of a new
library in Bowmanville for the time being. In no way is their group suggesting
that additional space is not required, but with plans to proceed with restructuring
of local governments throughout all the 905 area, they feel it would be prudent for
Council to study all scenarios, including parking. Possibly adequate space will
become available in the present town hall when restructuring occurs. If
overcrowding of the present facility is a problem then, possibly the hours of
operation could be extended for the short-term.

petitions the Treasurer of Ontario and the Minister of the Environment to
ensure that an adequate amount of funding be included in the forthcoming
Provincial Budget to ensure that areas that have identified environmental
problems be given adequate funding assistance to help them deal with

Improvement Centre, requesting to install two additional signs with which to
advertise their various festivals. These signs, which would be of the same design
and size as the ones already in existence next to Baker's Dozen and east of the
bridge over Barber's Creek (also known as Bowmanville Creek), are proposed to
be located on Municipal property near the Tourist Information Centre on Liberty
Street South, and on Regional Road 57, on land occupied by the Garnet B.
Rickard Recreation Complex. The signs would each involve two decorative posts
positioned perpendicular to the roads mentioned and would contain signage on
both sides to accommodate both north and south traffic. The signage would be
changed from time to time, as the events advertised come and go. The cost of
installing and maintaining these signs would, of course, be paid for out of their
Annual Budget. It is their plan to attempt to have one or both of these signs in
place for the Fabulous Fifties Festival which takes place in late June.
