"CARRIED" Council Minutes -3 - May 29, 2000 PRESENTATION DELEGATIONS Penny Waghorn, Ontario Power Generation introduced Andy Keir who presented the findings of the Economic Impact Study of the Darlington and Pickering Nuclear Generating Stations. The key objectives of the study were to identify: • the long-term economic influences of the ongoing operations of Pickering and Darlington on the host communities of Pickering and Clarington and other area municipalities in Durham Region, both with and without return to service of four units at Pickering Nuclear Generating Station; • the short term economic impacts of the return to service activities; the economic impact of making additions to or enlarging the used fuel dry storage facility currently in operation at Pickering; • the economic impacts of decommissioning Pickering and Darlington; • the combined economic impacts of Pickering, Darlington and the used fuel dry storage facility on the Region of Durham and its area municipalities. Overall the presence of Darlington Nuclear Generating Station and Pickering Nuclear Generating Station has not effected recent economic development plans of the area municipalities nor the current business development plans of the local business operators interviewed during the survey. The local Economic Development Officers and business operators that were interviewed credit the Generating Stations as contributing positively to economic growth in terms of employment and spin offs associated with employees' spending.

Ontario LI LPR Property Assessment Corporation, providing Council with the Ontario Property Assessment Corporation's financial statements for the year ending December 31, 1999, as well as their first Corporate Report. These documents have been prepared as required by the Ontario Property Assessment Corporation Act. They are also reminding their members that they will be holding the Corporation's second Annual General Meeting in conjunction with the AMO Annual Conference 2000 in Ottawa. (Received for Information) 1-3 The Honourable Paul Martin, Minister of Finance, addressing the problem C 10.M0 of petroleum product prices and federal taxes. He would like to point out that the recent price increases of petroleum products are attributable to a substantial rise in the world price of crude oil, not federal taxes. The price of crude oil per barrel has increased by two and a half times over the past year. Federal taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel have remained unchanged during the recent period of price increases. It is important to note that revenues from federal taxes - including the excise tax on gasoline and diesel - go into the Consolidated Revenues Fund. These revenues are used to support a broad range of federal programs that are enjoyed and valued by all Canadians - programs such as health care, post -secondary education, seniors' benefits and national defence. With respect to suggestions to reduce federal taxes on fuel products, Canadians have told the government that reducing personal income taxes should be the government's priority. The government has listened to Canadians. The five-year tax reduction plan announced in Budget 2000 builds on this government's commitment to reduce taxes. In particular the measures announced in this budget will reduce taxes by a cumulative amount of at least $58 billion over the next five years. He would also note that the indication of the personal income tax system announced in Budget 2000 will help offset the impact of price changes of products, such as gasoline and diesel fuel, on taxpayers.

(Received for Information) 1- 12 Minutes of the Animal Advisory Committee dated April 12, 2000. C06.AN (Received for Information) 1- 13 Howard Noseworthy, General Manager, Ontario Fur Managers Federation, P14.AN advising the Municipality of Clarington that we will likely be contacted in the future regarding urban trapping by-laws or other trapping controls. At this time, they wish to advise us of some important facts pertaining to trapping and problem animal control in Ontario. All of Ontario's trappers must be licensed under the authority of the Ministry of Natural Resources, and all new trappers must undergo a mandatory training program before qualifying to be licensed. All members of the Ontario Fur Managers Federation carry $2,000,000 in third party liability insurance, completely covering their legal fair harvesting and problem animal control activities. Ontario is facing its first outbreak of raccoon rabies. Council Minutes - 8 - May 29, 2000 COMMUNICATIONS Compounding the problem is that raccoons are quite comfortable living in close proximity to humans, meaning that any spread of this disease is likely to necessitate urban, as well as rural control. Any ill-conceived trapping by-laws have the potential to hamstring a control program. On a more regular basis, trappers are called upon to assist in the removal of beaver that may be causing flooding of roads or property, or to assist in predator control on livestock farms, more and more of which are being encompassed within the boundaries of expanding communities. In all of these cases, trappers can only effectively respond within the confines of the law, and using approved devices. They are encouraging the municipality to carefully consider the implications and ramifications. (Received for Information) 1- 14 Inspector Ross Smith, Officer -in -Charge, Clarington Community Police M02.GE Office, Durham Regional Police Service, thanking the Municipality for our support of their 1999 Safe Kids Community Day.

This sixth report under the Act reviews the progress of the energy efficiency and alternative energy (EAE) initiatives of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) during the 1997-1998 and 1998-1999 fiscal years. These initiatives are a critical foundation on which Canada can build its climate change national implementation strategy. NRCan's EAE initiatives are designed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by lessening the amount of energy required for a given level of service, or by replacing some carbon -intensive energy sources with energy generated from sources that produce fewer or no GHG emissions, such as wind power or small hydro power. This report contains many quantified indicators of the progress of NRCan's initiatives in improving energy use. Between 1990 and 1997, significant progress has been achieved, as indicated in Table i of the report. Since many factors affect energy consumption, however, it is not always possible to establish a perfect causal link between changes in energy use and NRCan's EAE initiatives; more work needs to be done in this area. Future reports will further refine these indicators and develop additional ones. (Received for Information) 1 - 17 John R. O'Toole, MPP, Durham, regarding support for an Ontarians with C 10.M0 Disabilities Act. Mr. O'Toole agrees with the need to introduce such an Act and can assure us that the government of Ontario is committed to this legislation. However, to ensure that the Act effectively addresses the needs of disabled Ontarians, consultations with all stakeholders in this issue are under way. This government has taken a leadership role in promoting equal opportunity and access for persons with disabilities. In fact, over $500 million has already been invested in new programs for disabled people that will help maximize their opportunities. They remain committed to a reasonable and responsible removal of barriers of persons with disabilities and are equally committee to the passing of an Ontarians with Disabilities Act.

In her correspondence, the Minister notes that her Parliamentary Assistant has consulted province -wide on this subject with all stakeholders.

Ontario's 4.5 million electricity consumers now have the power to choose their electricity retailer from among a number of competing companies. While these companies will not actually deliver service until later this year. licensed retailers have begun offering their services to electricity customers across the province. The start of retailing could mean that Ontarians will be looking for answers to questions resulting from information distributed by retailers or a visit to their front door from a retail representative.

(Municipal Clerk to place an advertisement in the local newspapers) D-4 Oleh Perim, Park President, Mitchell's Corners Park Soccer Club, M04.GE requesting to call their park "Mitchell's Comers Park". Zion Park, when it was created, was part of Clarington and also a founding member in Oshawa's Neighbourhood Association and Soccer Council. This was about 65 years ago. Back then there was a community called Zion. Somewhere along the way, the community changed its name and became Mitchell's Comers, as they are noted on all road maps. Several years also, Mr. Perun became involved as a soccer convenor, and he sent his children to Oshawa. Then Oshawa decided that their children could not play as a team and had to be pooled out to other Oshawa parks. At this time, he was approached by Darlington Youth Soccer Club, and they allowed their children to play together as a community team. They have announced themselves back to the Darlington Soccer League, as Mitchell's Comers Park, and also have registered with Durham Girls League in the same way. Unfortunately, the community of "Zion" has disappeared as we know it, and a little bit of their history as well.

(Correspondence referred to the Director of Planning and Development) Council Minutes - 15 - May 29, 2000 COMMUNICATIONS D - 7 Robert B. Goudey, 3 Selwyn Crescent, Kanata, K2K IN7, requesting T05.GE resurfacing of Liberty Street North, from Concession to at least Sunset Road just north of the railway underpass. This is not a particularly long section but it cries for a new smooth surface free of hundreds of patches, depressions from utility excavations and so on. The roadbed seems to be very stable and solid even in view of the very high traffic volume on the street. Therefore it appears a grinding of the surface and a new layer of asphalt would do wonders. Would the year 2000 be the year that this section of street will be resurfaced? He hopes so. He has constantly listened to his relatives grumble and now that he has been sensitised, every time he drives this section he finds that repairs are long overdue. (Correspondence referred to the Director of Public Works) D - 8 Sylvia Smith, Volunteer Branch President, Durham Region Branch, M02.GE Leukemia Research Fund Canada, requesting the Municipality of Clarington to declare June as Leukemia Awareness Month and to conduct a flag -raising ceremony with a flag to be provided by LRFC at the Clarington Municipal Office during the first week of June 2000. Leukemia is a deadly cancer of the blood that claims the lives of more children than any other malignancy in Canada and strikes even more adults, regardless of age, heredity, sex or race. For over forty years, Leukemia Research Fund of Canada volunteers have been raising funds to support the important work of Canadian leukemia researchers. Due to this virtual uninterrupted research, the rate of cure among afflicted children has soared from 5% to 70%. No other human form of cancer has realized such advances. With only 30% to go, it is now more important than ever to reach as many Canadians as possible with their message.

(Approved provided the organizers apply for and obtain a Road Occupancy Permit) Council Minutes - 16 - May 29, 2000 COMMUNICATIONS D - 11 Fran Harvie, writing to Council regarding representatives of the Oak D02.OA Ridges Trail Association. On two occasions Mrs. Harvie or her family have "happened" upon representatives of the Oak Ridges Trail Association. She has had numerous conversations with Roy Forrester and with Jan O'Neill. Ms. O'Neill informed her that due to the numerous conflicts that Mr. Forrester was considering changing the trail route. After finally reaching him he informed her that the trail was going ahead. This "trail" has caused her "right to quiet enjoyment" to be breached and the safety of not only her home and outbuildings, her family and her immediate environment, including wildlife, to be compromised. Old or current deer trails and pathways that they use on the property are not public walking trails. The original guidelines referred to "abutting or adjoining" -- never did traversing enter into it. There appears to be no consideration or respect for other parties' property and she does not wish to constantly police the property against trespassers.

D - 3 Glenda Gies, President, Port Darlington Community Association Inc., wishing to organize a community celebration to commemorate the Westside Creek opening of the new bridge over the mouth of Westside Creek Marsh. The Marsh opening of this bridge is a significant step towards fulfilling obligations M02.GE under the Principles of Understanding between the Municipality of Clarington and Blue Circle Cement as well as establishing a physical link between the PDCA communities of Cedarcrest Beach Road and Cove Road. They anticipate holding this party from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Friday, July 7, 2000, in the vicinity of the new bridge. To ensure that the festivities occur without risk to participants, they ask that the bridge be closed for the duration of the event. Although the bridge may be officially opened at this date and the Blue Circle haul road may therefore be closed to public use, it is their understanding that the haul road will continue to be used for emergency access to Cedarcrest Beach Road, They therefore ask that Council approve the temporary closing of the bridge from 4:00 P.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Friday, July 7, 2000, to accommodate their community party.

Mr. O'Toole explained to them that there will be a new traffic study report being prepared for Council sometime in May or June 2000. Nash Road is a very busy road. Holt Road is also a clear route from Taunton Road to Darlington OPG site as well as a 401 access. There are traffic volume issues which will increase in the future. Two of the neighbours on the northwest and southeast corner of Nash and Holt are very concerned for the safety in this area. They are anxious to contribute to the resolution of the intersection problem.

"CARRIED" D-9 Cathryn Rousseau, informing Council of her immense disapproval of the "No Parking" by-laws in Bowmanville. Mrs. Rousseau and her husband Parking Issue own cars and for the most part keep them both parked in their driveway. T02.GE Rarely do they ever park in front of the house on their street. Once during the winter, we had a severe snow storm and the plows did not come to clear their street until late the next afternoon. It was extremely difficult to get out of their street that morning for work. The night after their street was plowed, they parked one of their vehicles on the road. They received a ticket for parking between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m. Had the storm continued and there been a need for the plow to come onto their street, she agrees that ticketing their car would have been necessary. What galls her is that her taxes can pay for someone to come and issue her a ticket at that hour yet her taxes can't pay for someone to plow her street until a day and a half after the storm, after they all struggled to get to work. Mrs. Rousseau would like this by-law removed from the books.

(Receive for Information) 1- 5 Eleanor Clitheroe, Chair of the Board, Hydro One Networks Inc., informing the Municipality of Clarington that Ontario Hydro Services Company (OHSC) has become Hydro One - a new name that typifies their new company. Hydro One takes the word that is synonymous with the word electricity in Ontario and marries it with the idea of being the best in the energy delivery business, putting the customer first, and being the first and only company to deliver power right across the province. Their new name embodies the essential nature of the service they provide and the excellence with which their employees deliver that service. The decision to change the company's identity was a difficult one. The Ontario Hydro name invokes proud feelings with their employees and the people of Ontario. But they are no longer the Ontario Hydro that people grew up with. They are moving ahead on their own merits. Hydro One demonstrates a break from the past, while honouring the legacy. Summary of Correspondence - 2 - June 12, 2000 It speaks to their core values of dependability, accountability, reliability and operational excellence as well as a promising future. Hydro One, one of Canada's major corporations, is a holding company with five subsidiaries, Hydro One Networks, Hydro One Remote Communities, Hydro One Markets, Hydro One Telecom and Ontario Hydro Energy.

(Receive for Information) Summary of Correspondence - 4 - June 12, 2000 1- 10 Larry Hall, Chair, Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority, advising John O'Toole, MPP, that one of the major environmental issues they face this year is how to ensure the equitable usp- of their water resources while protecting the natural ecology in which we live. Local businesses that rely on water must have reliable sources. The streams of our watershed must continue to support vibrant wildlife populations. They at the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority have concerns about the present regulations governing the Permit to Take Water process, administered by the Ministry of the Environment. They are not convinced the process adequately protects this resource as many permits are granted without communication between the Ministry and the "local" conservation authority or municipality that has first-hand knowledge and experience with area watercourses. In addition, updated regulations have begun to tax conservation authority staff resources to a degree that was never anticipated. The Board of the GRCA would like to begin a dialogue with Mr. O'Toole over this important issue. They believe that he may be able to answer some of their questions and help convey their concerns to the province. (Receive for Information) I - 11 Dan Newman, Minister of the Environment, addressing any possible concerns that the municipality may have with respect to E. coli in the water supply. He would like to provide information that will help ensure a clean, safe water supply. For surface water works, E. coli can be controlled with conventional treatment and adequate disinfection, including the maintenance of a disinfectant residual in the distribution systems. Regular microbiological sampling and disinfection monitoring will indicate the presence or absence of E. coli. For groundwater works, adequate disinfection processes and the maintenance of a disinfectant residual in the distribution systems should be sufficient to control E. coli. Guidance is provided by the Ministry of Environment (MOE) through the application of their policies and guidelines such as the Ontario Drinking Water Objectives, and legal instruments such as Certificates of Approval and Control Orders. Municipalities are responsible for the quality of municipal water supplies. If a private owner thinks that a well is contaminated, boiling the water for five minutes provides adequate protection. Microbiological testing will confirm the degree of contamination. Advice on appropriate treatment other than boiling the water can be obtained from MOE or the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MOHLTC). Appropriate actions to decontaminate a well would normally involve sequential disinfections of the well with chlorine and subsequent microbiological testing to ensure that all coliforms are absent. If this procedure fails or the problem recurs, attention should be paid to well construction and maintenance items such as ensuring surface water cannot enter the wellhead, and that the grouting and casing are in good shape. Microbiological testing of private wells is a complimentary service provided by Ontario MOHLTC public health laboratories. (Receive for Information) Summary of Correspondence -5 - June 12, 2000 1-12 Betty Khattab, Project Coordinator, EWAG Experienced Worker Advisory Group, writing to inform the Municipality of Clarington of the Durham Region Experienced Worker Advisory Group,(EWAG). This group is comprised of representatives from community agencies with the common goal of assisting `experienced workers', who are 45 years of age and older. Community partners, with the support of Human Resources Development Canada and the Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities, recognized that the issues and barriers that this 45+ group experience are different than those of a younger worker. The mandate of the group is to raise awareness among currently employed, unemployed, and under -employed workers, 45 years of age and older, to the importance of maintaining and increasing their employability skills while educating employers about the value of experienced workers.

Their telephone and fax numbers are the same 905-432-2492 and their e-mail and internet address are under construction. (Receive for Information) 1- 16 Michael Creighton, Clarington Fire Chief, advising Council that various Fire Chiefs and the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority have struck a committee to review emergency plans for the Ganaraska Forest. The Committee will, from time to time, invite participation from such players as Emergency Measures Ontario to assist with the preparation of the plan as well as assisting in the preparation of an application to JEPP (Joint Emergency Preparedness Program) for funding to assist in the costs related to training and equipment purchases. JEPP is a Federal funding program established to assist in emergency planning. The Committee will also be looking at the training of firefighters from the effected department in fire fighting techniques related to forest fires. In the past this training was provided, on request, from the Ministry of Natural Resources, however this is no longer the case. They will also be looking at what equipment will be required, what the various departments presently have on hand and what will be required to be purchased. Summary of Correspondence - 6 - June 12, 2000 They will have to establish costs related to the training and equipment since this will be the basis for the application to JEPP. The Councils of the effected Municipalities will be requested to make a commitment to the related cost prior to any application to JEPP as JEPP will not consider any application for assistance unless the Counciis have given a commitment to the appropriate funding. The Committee will also be addressing the issue of a Mutual Aid Agreement, which will have to be approved by the Councils of the Local Municipalities involved. This agreement will allow for assistance to be provided to each of the fire departments by the partner department participating in the agreement and in the protection of the forest. (Receive for Information) 1-17 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, informing the public that due to winter damage the back section of the Devil's Den Nature Trail from the first bridge to the pond and including the fishing platform are no longer wheelchair accessible.

Anyone interested in making a donation or who would like more information please contact Gord Geissberger, Corporate Communications Coordinator at (905) 579-0411. (Receive for Information) 1- 18 K. Johansen, Project Manager - Environmental Assessment, Ontario Power Generation, informing Council that the draft Environmental Assessment (EA) Report, on OPG's proposal to return the existing Pickering Nuclear Generating Station `A' to service, has been completed and was submitted to the Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB) on April 14, 2000. They have also provided the latest issue of their newsletter (No. 5) on the EA process. (Receive for Information) 1- 19 David Crump, Director, Ministry of the Environment, advising of an expansion to Ontario's Drive Clean program on January 1, 2001. If we are considering joining the program as an accredited Drive Clean Facility, or even just curious about the requirements, there will be a series of six Information Events being held in the Phase 2 area. Drive Clean's Phase 1 is the Greater Toronto Area and Hamilton - Wentworth Region, while Phase 2 includes urban centres from Peterborough to Windsor and the Niagara Peninsula. There will be significant demand for Drive Clean emissions tests and repairs as a result of the program expansion. There are approximately 1.5 million vehicles in the Phase 2 area that must pass an emissions inspection every two years for registration renewal. Drive Clean also requires tests for most re -sale vehicles, prior to registration transfer. (Receive for Information) Summary of Correspondence - 7 - June 12, 2000 1-20 Jim Wilson, Minister of Energy, Science & Technology; Tony Clement, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing; Tony Jennings, Chief Executive Officer, Municipal Electric Association, advising Council that the Energy Competition Act, 1998 requires municipalities to incorporate their electrical utilities under the Ontario Business Corporations Act before November 7, 2000 if they wish to continue to participate in the electricity industry. However, municipal councils must determine how the utilities will be operated in the competitive electricity market, and the roles and relationships we wish the utilities to have, much sooner than November 7. While actual incorporation can be delayed, decisions on ownership and roles cannot. At present, Ontario municipalities are at various stages of the restructuring process. Some councils have already taken the steps required to commercialize and incorporate their utilities and a number have made, but not yet implemented, the decision to keep the utility, at least for the near future. Some are looking at other options such as leasing arrangements or mergers with neighbouring utilities. Some have already decided to exit the business by selling their utility assets. Others are actively considering this option. As the market opening date draws closer, they would like to take this opportunity to remind us of the importance of making informed ownership decisions as quickly as possible. Critical changes required for market readiness must not only be decided, but implemented before November 7. These changes will take considerable effort on the part of utility management and are dependent on the initial shareholder decision. Many of these changes cannot be made until the future of the utility has been decided. If we have not already done so, it is in everyone's best interest to aggressively finalize work with our utility now to facilitate these decisions and investments. (Receive for Information) CORRESPONDENCE FOR DIRECTION D - I Jeff Brooks, Corresponding Secretary, Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee, advising that the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee on April 18, 2000, passed the following resolution: "THAT Council be requested not to make a decision on the proposed alterations to the Orono Town Hall until such time as the LACAC has been consulted." (Motion to refer correspondence to the Property Manager) Summary of Correspondence - 8 - June 12, 2000 D-2 Sam Synard, President, Federation of Canadian Municipalities, requesting the Municipality of Clarington to recognize June 21, 2000, as National Aboriginal Day. To many Aboriginal peoples, June 21s` is culturally significant because of the summer solstice. A resolution adopted in 1982 by the National Indian Brotherhood to proclaim National Aboriginal Solidarity Day also reinforced the importance of this date. In June 1996, the Governor General of Canada first proclaimed National Aboriginal Day, celebrating the contributions of Aboriginal People to Canadian society. The National Board of Directors of FCM responded by endorsing the initiative. At its March meeting in Vernon, the Board reaffirmed its support for National Aboriginal Day, encouraging members to: issue a proclamation recognizing National Aboriginal Day; provide support to local Aboriginal groups for activity space or display's and 3. encourage community participation in Aboriginal Day celebrations. National Aboriginal Day provides a special opportunity to build relationships among Aboriginal and non -Aboriginal communities. Strong support and encouragement from municipal governments across Canada will ensure its success. (Motion to Proclaim) D - 3 Executive and Directors of the Orono Horticultural Society, voicing their protest and concerns regarding Mr. and Mrs. Justinian Creed to permit the keeping of wild animals on a property totally unsuitable for this purpose. The reasons being: 1. close proximity to highway, animals would be subjected to noise, noxious fumes and salt spray in winter months 2. lack of parking facilities and lack of space to provide parking 3. run off from animal waste into the stream on this property which eventually runs into Orono Park which is a recreation area for children 4. odor and noise from animals 5. once this land has been rezoned as a campground and wild animal facility the exemption would be permanent and if this property was sold in the future this could result in a lot of problems for the neighbourhood and the municipality. (Motion to direct correspondence to the Director of Planning and Development) Summary of Correspondence - 9 - June 12, 2000 D - 4 P.M. Madill, Regional Clerk, Region of Durham, advising that the Region of Durham Works Committee, on May 31, 2000, passed the following resolution, as amended: "THAT Report #2000-W-59 of the Commissioner of Works and the `Who Does What' Service Review - Stage 1 Report from the Public Works Officials within Durham, be received for information; and be forwarded to Regional Council and the Area Municipalities for a response back to Regional Council by June 28, 2000; and The following recommendation of the Finance & Administration Committee was considered in conjunction with the recommendation of the Works Committee: THAT the Finance Department, along with Public Works Officials WDW Committee request the Regional and Area Treasurers to examine the issue of standardizing chargebacks between and among municipalities for work carried out on the others' behalf." (Motion to refer correspondence to the Director of Public Works) D-5 Henryk Sochacki, Team President, Polonus Sport Club, requesting permission to use roads that are under the jurisdiction of the Municipality of Clarington for the Provincial Road Race Championships. The Polonus Team was established in 1996. The Team's main objective is to promote bicycle racing in Canada. They have over forty members who help them in accomplishing that goal. During the 1999 cycling season, the team organized a Criterium race in High Park, Toronto. The races took time through out the whole day. Approximately 2,000 spectators had visited High Park during their event. This year the team has great plans. On July 8 they will be organizing an Ontario Cup Race east of Newcastle. Then on July 9 an annual High Park Criterium in Toronto will take place. This season, the race is the final of the "Millennium Criterium Cup." On August 20, they will be promoting Provincial Road Race Championship. Later in the season they also have the opportunity to organize Provincial Time Trail Championships on September 10. During the cyclo -cross season, the team will organize Provincial Championships which will be held on November 12. On July 8 and August 20, from 9:00 a.m. to approximately 3:00 p.m. they are requesting to use the race course that starts on the Golf Course Road, proceed north, turn right into Concession Road 93, turn left into Morgans Road, turn right into Concession Road #2, tum right into Stapleton Road, turn right onto Highway #2, turn right into Golf Course Road heeding in the north direction. (Motion to approve request provided the organizers apply for and obtain a Road Occupancy Permit from the Public Works Department) Summary of Correspondence - 10- June 12, 2000 D-6 Oleh Perun, Park President, Mitchell's Corners Park, copying the municipality on a letter forwarded to the OCNNA regarding the fate and future of a Local Clarington Community Park. Mr. Peron is appealing to the OCCNA that at least half of the finances taken from the park be returned for present and future sports enthusiasts and the original agreement regarding disassociation that was made many years ago obviously did not take into consideration that the park would or could ever be closed. It is felt that the decision to close the park was made without foresight for current and future community members and their children. (Motion to refer correspondence to the Director of Public Works) D-7 Jean Graham, Chairperson, Newcastle Lions Club, requesting permission for a Walk for Dog Guides formerly called "Walk-A-Dog-A-Thon." All proceeds from the walk will be donated to Canine Vision Canada. The walk is 10 km through Newcastle on Saturday, October 7, 2000. Their starting time will be 9:00 a.m. at the Community Hall. A copy of the insurance coverage will follow from the Lions Foundation of Canada - Oakville. They estimate the walk will take approximately two hours to complete. The Lions Foundation of Canada conducts a National Walk annually. All the money pledged goes to providing Dog Guide Teams to assist the blind, deaf and physically challenged. Our co-operation and assistance in this worthy cause by sanctioning this year's walk would be greatly appreciated. This event sponsored by the Newcastle Lions Club raised $16,600.57 in 1999. This will be their Sixth Annual Walk. (Motion to approve request provided the organizers apply for and obtain a Road Occupancy Permit from the Public Works Department) D-8 Debbie Clarke, Executive Assistant, Valiant Property Management, writing to Council to advise of her frustration. The staff report for North Bowmanville Valiant Subdivision Phase 3 Rezoning Application has been delayed yet again and will not be going to G.P.A. until the July 3, 2000, meeting. They have had various meetings with staff and exchanges of correspondence, since the initial public meeting on February 1, 1999. Valiant Property Management has agreed to provide every request asked for by the neighbours and by staff. It is doubly frustrating when, as developers, they try to be good corporate citizens and satisfy neighbours and staff to be delayed such an inordinate length of time. All of the documentation that was required by staff was submitted by November 23, 1999. A full seven months will have passed by the time they get a staff report regarding the application. They are formally requesting Council to instruct staff that the report be completed and brought forward to G.P.A. at the June 19°i G.P.A. meeting. They have been informed by staff that they are too busy to get this report ready for G.P.A until July 3rd. This has been ongoing for several months. Summary of Correspondence - 11 - June 12, 2000 Their report was put off last week from the June 5"' meeting until the June 19`h meeting and now the July 3`d meeting. If it will speed up the process they will pay staff overtime costs. (Motion for Direction) D - 9 J.D. Leach, City Clerk, City of Vaughan, advising that the City of Vaughan on April 27, 2000, approved the following recommendation: "WHEREAS Provincial policy supports and encourages the consolidation of Municipal Electric Utilities (MEU's); WHEREAS the consolidation of MEU's is expected to result in long term cost savings; WHEREAS the Province recognized these benefits and exempted MEU's from the Transfer Tax, under the Electricity Act, if the MEU consolidation takes place prior to November 7, 2000; WHEREAS the Province is also encouraging municipal amalgamations and such amalgamations directly effect the timing, nature and size of MEU restructuring; WHEREAS the Province subsequently amended the Regulation 124/99 to exclude only those MEU amalgamations occurring after November 7, 2000 that are required by an Act or otherwise required by law; WHEREAS the Transfer Tax (33%) represents a very significant cost to the owners, which will discourage both municipal and MEU voluntary amalgamations far beyond November 7, 2000; and WHEREAS the MEU created by a mandated municipal amalgamation may not result in the optimum MEU structure due to factors such as economies of scale, geography, optimum size and other consideration. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: THAT the Province amend Regulation 124/99 to continue to also exclude from the Transfer Tax beyond November 7, 2000 all voluntary amalgamations of MEU's to encourage locally driven municipal and MEU amalgamations, consistent with the Provinces policy direction. (Motion for Direction) Summary of Correspondence - 12 - June 12, 2000 D- 10 Association of Municipalities of Ontario, requesting its members to help the Town of Brockton's (Walkerton's) desperate need for assistance. On May 2151, the Town of Brockton was shocked by an environmental discovery of E. coli bacteria. This finding resulted in public water services being terminated. To date, seven residents have died as a result of the bacteria with hundreds of others falling ill. Individuals and businesses are facing personal and financial hardships as a direct consequence of the problem. Town Council has announced the establishment of the "Brockton Response Centre" as a step to assist residents. The objective of the centre is to "Provide support and services to meet the needs of individuals, businesses and the broader community as they recover from the effect of the E. coli contaminated water supply." One of the needs identified to date has been the development of an "emergency fund" for residents. This fund will provide food, emergency lodging for families and emotional support services. Funding donations received from municipalities, service groups and community groups will help to directly make a difference to Brockton residents.

The following species were supported as desirable for the valley floor. Red Ozier Dogwood, Shrub Willow, White Cedar, Balsam Hemlock and Red Maple, and that these be grouped carefully. It was agreed that between now and late summer we concentrate on cleaning up the woods.

Adoption of Minutes- Moved by Sue Larsh and seconded by Al Valliancourt that the minutes of directors meetings held on April 6th and May 10th, 2000 be approved as circulated. A friendly amendment was made by Iain MacIver to be added to the Finance report that he had given notice of his resignation of Treasurer. Motion carried as amended. It was agreed that Maciver's resignation would be dealt with later in the meeting. 2. Business Arising from Minutes - agreed to be covered in appropriate subsequent items of the Agenda. 3. Fund Raising Report - George Stanios of Goldie and Associates reported that 25 persons had been interviewed and that there was good feedback as to popularity and support for the project. Interviewees seemed to focus on the trails, the reputed cost of $6 million being too high, the naturalized state of the valley, and danger of vandalism. Ontario Hydro", Blue Circle, Goodyear and the Bowmanville Foundry (Mike Patrick) were identified as substantial supporters and participants and many businesses wanted to be identified with specific items in the process. Discussion after the report brought out that we needed to focus on how much of the $6 million original plan we wished to initially undertake and that this be related to the grants available and the amount of funds which Goldie and Associates report that we can raise in the community. Mr. Stanios said it would take 2 weeks to complete their interviews and prepare their report. He also mentioned that HRDC would fund a project manager and suggested we consider hiring one. Mr. Stanios advised that he would have his report ready for our next directors meeting on Tuesday, June 13th. 4. Finance- Frank Lockhart reported that he would be attending the meeting U of Clarington Council on Monday, June 5th, to request that the $50,000 loan for a fund raising consultant and design and engineering costs be extended to include construction costs to enable us to schedule construction work forthwith. 5. Communications - Frank is planning to write a regular letter to the Canadian Statesman reporting where we are in our program. It is still the intention to move the Kiosk to the Valley for the June 17th Duck Derby. Brent Mavin will attend to this once he finds the present location of the Kiosk. Kevin Anyan is arranging signage for the Kiosk and the present brochures will be handed out at the Duck Derby. Susan Larsh is working on the logo and a new brochure which must await the directors' decision on the scope of work and funding following the report of Goldie and Associates. 6. Property - Frank Lockhart and Isabel Little advised that the Fram deal was ready to close, that the lawyers were still negotiating terms of the Goodyear lease and that the Stulberg parcel was at a stalement. Isabell Little stated the expropriation was a possibility for the Stulberg property and that the property was appraised at from $70,000 to $80,000. It was also pointed out that part of the new trail probably passes over the Williams property which hasn't yet been obtained. 7. The Woods, Cleanup and Planting The Sea Cadets are coming to the Vallay on Saturday, June 10th, to assist in cleanup and Frank asked for volunteers to assist him in work and supervision. Frank Lockhart is arranging for the delivery of 20 loads of rocks from the Watson property at Solina Road for $5500 transportation costs. CLOCA has approved of the storage of the rocks for bank restoration work. Iain MacIver cautioned that if Watson wanted a charitable receipt, there would have to beanindependent appraisal. David Lawson advised that he had received approval for $3,000 work on the fish ladder from the Ministry of Natural Resources. Frank Lockhart advised that Carl Schenk had obtained and planted 150 white spruce seedlings and that "the shrub lady", Andrea Clarke from Sprucecroft Nurseries, had agreed to : etrt planting the wildflower garden with Frank and Al Valliancourt in June. 8. The Trail - Frank Lockhart produced a Plan of the Trail from the Parking Lot through CLOCA and Goodyear lands prepared by Totten Sims & Hubicki and advised that Blue Circle would start to supply crushed stone for one kilometre of trail in mid August, but would wait until 2001 to supply material for the parking lot. Brent Mavin undertook to have the plan approved by CLOCA. 9. Treasurer - Iain MacIver agreed to stay on as Treasurer while there was a low volume of work, but indicated that when fundraising began the position would have to be reviewed with the possibility of bookkeeping assistance from Mr. & Mrs. Dankmyers. Frank and Iain are to look into this. 10. Millennium Grant - It was sadly announded that our application to the federal government had been turned down due to lack of funds. 11.

COUNCIL INFORMATION '00IJUN06 Ply 2:15:45 Ontario Power Generation Nuclear Report Card Darlington Nuc/ear April • 2000 I-14 Report Cards are also available individually for Bruce Nuclear Pickering Nuclear and OPG Nuclear Operations. UtN_t AI IUNI Public Safety One gauge of how safe our stations are is the number of events that cause some reduction in the margin of public safety. Such events, in themselves, don't neces sarily pose a danger to the public, but they do put pressure on the station's safety systems and therefore temporarily reduce the margin of safety. This report card lists the number of Level I and 2 Reportable Events. A Level I Event is defined as highly significant. A Level 2 Event is significant. Reportable Events I ==Actual y—= Target eli1ER 10 26 f 25 t 'i 20i 15 —a_ I 15 16 J � v to a 5 6 z i + 0 YE 99 YE 99 YTO 00 'Data is cumulative Reportable Events Summary: The number of level I and 2 events was worse than target, as there were four level 2 events in April.Three of these events resulted from steam door Impairments. Another significant measure of safety system performance is the "Reactor Trip Rate" - the number of unplanned reactor shutdowns (per 7,000 hours of operation) triggered by automatic safety systems. Reactor trips indicate potential problems that need to be addressed but they also demonstrate that safety systems are working as they should to catch these potential problems. Reactor Trip Rate Summary: _ In April, the reactor trip rate measured 0.00, which Is better than both our target and the WANO standard of one trip per 7,000 hours of operation per year. Radiation Exposure 1 to the Public r 1 Data is cumulative This figure Is an estimate of the radiation dose people would receive If they lived just outside the station boundary at their residences 24 hours a day, drank local water and milk, and ate local fish and produce.The dose is measured In microsleverts (pSv), an International unit of dose. By way of comparison, the average Canadian receives about 2.000 microsleverts a year from natural sources such as cosmic rays and radon in the soil. Dose to Public Summary: The Dose to Public was 74% better than target and significantly better than the regulatory limit of 5000 microsleverts (pSv). Dose to Public Is reported quarterly.

Another useful measure of employee safety is the Accident Severity Rate - the number of days lost to injuries per 200,000 hours worked. Accident Severity Rate Summary: The Accident Severity Rate measured 5.5 in April primarily due to days lost in previous months. This result Is worse than the target of 3.0 days lost to injuries per 200,000 hours worked.

THAT Report CD -24-00 be received; and 2. THAT Schedule "G" to By-law 97-35, being a By-law to prohibit or regulate the destruction of trees in the Municipality, be amended to add Mr. Gregory Scarborough to the list of Enforcement Officers. BACKGROUND: At the March 27, 2000 Council meeting, Gregory Scarborough was appointed as a Municipal Law Enforcement Officer for the Municipality. This appointment gave him authority to act on a wide range of Municipal and Regional By-laws, among them the Regional Tree By-law. The appointment allowed Mr. Scarborbough to inspect and investigate issues under the Municipality's Tree By-law, but not to lay charges for offences. The Municipal Tree By-law has a specific schedule of officers empowered to enforce the By-law. Staff are therefore recommending that Mr. Scarborough be added to that list.
