1-9 Wanda Pitchforth, Executive Director, Literacy Network of Durham Region,
advising Council that September 8th is International Literacy Day. This is a day
set aside each year to recognize the importance of reading and writing in our
communities, and the struggle faced by 55% of Durham Region's adult
population who have some level of difficulty with literacy skills. The
International Adult Literacy Survey report confirms that literacy is liked to the
economic success of not only Durham Region, but the province of Ontario and
Canada as a nation. Each and every day, employees are put to the challenge of
dealing with higher level tasks in the workplace. The bar is being raised in order
to adapt to changes in technology and market conditions. In fact, very few people
in Durham Region have the reading and writing skills needed to meet today's
challenges. The solution lies in revaluing learning. Adult literacy is an issue that
demands serious attention by decision makers. Government business, educators,
volunteers and individual citizens all have a role to play in creating a society that
values learning and supports literacy for all age groups. The Literacy Network of
Durham Region will be launching a family literacy tool kit in the near future and
they hope that they can count on our support to encourage people in the
Municipality of Clarington to pick up a copy of this tool and make use of its
ideas.

offices on October 5, 2000. The second day of the Hearing will be held in the
Pickering City Hall on December 14, 2000.

1-12 Helen Johns, Minister of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation and Elizabeth
Witmer, Minister of Health and Long -Term Care, providing Council with their
brochure, Active Ontario - New Directions and Partnerships. More than 60% of
the people in our province are not physically active enough to benefit their health.
The Government of Ontario considers this a serious challenge to the health and
quality of life in communities across our province, and has made a commitment to
increase the number of physically active Ontarians by three per cent by the year
2001. The latest research tells them that the best way to increase physical activity
is to make it a part of daily life. This means it is important for them to reach out
to people in their workplace, school, homes, communities and the recreation,
sport and health systems. Working together with the Ontario Physical and Health
Education Association, ParticipAction, Parks and Recreation Ontario, the Ontario
Public Health Association, the Leisure Information Network, the Canadian
Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute, provincial sports organizations and other
partners, they have begun launching a number of provincial initiatives to support
this new direction.

Conservation Authority, introducing Mr. David Charette as the Co- ordinator of
the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority Millennium Project. Mr. Charette

"THAT staff prepare a report as soon as possible on how the Township
can respond to the amalgamation options and reports prepared by other

1-15 Ruby McPhee, advising Council of a letter that was published in her local paper
on August 23, 2000, regarding Toronto sending their garbage to the Adams Mine
Site. This is not an ordinary landfill site we are voting on. This is a small lake at
the bottom of a large pit. The mine has been closed for several years and if the pit
didn't leap it would be over 600 ft deep instead of 250 ft deep. Ms. McPhee's
nephew who is a geologist and mining engineer and has worked in mines in
Africa and now is currently in Brazil worked at this Adams Mine in the summer
holidays while he was going to mining school. He said one of his jobs was to do
a dye test to see if the pit leaped. The results of the dye test showed that the water
in the pit leaped out into all the little streams and the river that is close to the site.
This is where Mr. McGuinty is going to pump the water out of the pit into all
these little streams and the river. On voting to send Toronto garbage to this site
we will be voting for a licence to kill as this water that he is going to pump out
will contaminate the navigable waters from here to Ottawa and eventually the
little streams and rivers flowing in the Municipality of Clarington's direction.

1-16 Ministry of Health and Long -Term Care, updating Council on long -term care
operators, interested parties and associations on how the Ontario government is
proceeding with the development of 20,000 new long -term care beds. Later this
fall, the Ministry of Health and Long -Term Care will begin the process for the
final round of allocations for new long -term care beds. This is the final phase of
the government's commitment to build 20,000 new beds. These beds will
conform to the province's new standards for long -term care facilities. For this
final round of awards, the ministry is streamlining the application process on the
basis of input from long -term care providers and associations. The new process in
intended to be simpler, more flexible and it will help ensure that beds are built on
time and in service areas where there is the most need. Under the new
requirements, applicants must own, have an option on land or a long -term lease
and demonstrate they can meet the ministry's financial and development
requirements. Preferred locations have been identified by the ministry to provide
assistance to applicants looking for sites.

1-17 Rick Rakus, General Manager, Central Region, Enbridge Consumers' Gas,
informing Council that starting next month, they will be notifying their customers
about an upcoming natural -gas rate increase. The Ontario Energy Board has
already approved an 11.9% increase for natural -gas costs, effective June 1, 2000.
The upcoming rate increase will be more substantial. They have asked the
Ontario Energy Board to approve an increase of an additional 18.1% effective
October 1, 2000, the largest part of which is due to the increase in the commodity
price of natural gas, which has virtually doubled over the last year. Mr. Rakus
would like to stress that Enbridge Consumers' Gas will not profit from this
increase. As a utility regulated by the Ontario Energy Board, they are not allowed
to marls up the price they pay for natural gas. They set their rates based on
exactly what it costs them to buy natural gas.

1-18 Michael J. Williams, Director, Environmental Assessment & Approvals Branch,
advising Council about certain requirements of the new Regulation entitled
"Drinking Water Protection, O.Reg. 459/00 ". If we are the owner of a
waterworks and our system does not meet the minimum treatment requirements as
laid out under Section 5 of the Drinking Water Protection Regulation, we are
required to complete a notice and return it to their branch by October 31, 2000.
This notice is to describe the action we propose to undertake in order to achieve
compliance with the regulation, and set out our timetable for that action.

1-19 Marian L. Robson, Chairman, Canadian Transportation Agency, advising Council
that on July 5, 2000, the Canada Transportation Act (the Act) was amended to
address restructuring within the Canadian air transportation industry. One of the
amendments specifically addressed the notice requirements for air carriers
proposing to reduce or discontinue air services within Canada. An air carrier is
now required to give affected communities notice that it proposes to reduce or
discontinue air services to a point within Canada in three situations. If one of
these situations arises, then the carrier must give the community or communities
affected 120 days notice before the date it proposed to discontinue or reduce a
service. Carriers who have served a point for less than one year are required to
give 30 days notice. A carrier may apply to the Agency to have the notice period
reduced.

D - 1 Bonnie Oliver, Member and Community Relations Manager, Auto Workers
Community Credit Union, requesting Council to proclaim Thursday, October 19,
2000, as Credit Union Day. International Credit Union Day will be held on
October 19, 2000. This day is part of a week in which they celebrate the
accomplishments of Canada's 10,000 co- operatives, credit unions, and caisses
populaires. This year's theme is "Co -ops and Credit Unions... Investing in
Canadian Communities." Canada's co- operatives and credit unions represent the
optimism that Canadians feel about the communities in which they live. Not only
do co- operatives and credit unions invest in communities, the returns that those
investments yield stay in those communities, providing jobs and generating
economic activity. For co- operatives and credit unions, success is also measured
in the number of jobs they create, in the services they offer to their members, and
in the equitable way they distribute their earnings within the communities they
serve. More than 135,000 people are employed by co- operatives and credit
unions from coast to coast.
(Motion to Proclaim)
D-2 Donna Schinkel, Chairperson, Durham Region Breastfeeding Coalition,
requesting Council to proclaim October 1 to 7, 2000, as World Breastfeeding
Week in Canada. World Breastfeeding Week celebrates the importance of
breastfeeding for all women, children, families and communities. This year's
theme is Breastfeeding: It's Your Right! It recognizes the importance of raising
awareness about the fact that breastfeeding is a right for both mother and child
and seeks to stimulate a shift in public thinking so that this right is respected,
protected, facilitated and fulfilled at household, community and government
levels in every country. This special week provides an opportunity for people
around the world to join together, in celebration and action, to raise public
awareness of the benefits of breastfeeding to mothers, infants and society at large;
and to recognize that breastfeeding women are subjects of human rights, not
objects of charity.

D - 3 Louise Button, Clarington/Newcastle Block Parents, requesting that October 23 to
29, 2000, be proclaimed Block Parent Week. Each year, one week in October is
designated as Block Parent Week throughout Canada. Communities are asked to
help promote the Block Parent program and to create a safe community for all
citizens. In recognition of this week they would like to request that the Block
Parent flag fly at the municipality office on Temperance Street. They would hope
that if this request were granted that the mayor or designate would be able to join
them for a short ceremony to raise the flag. If their request were granted they
would seek permission from Community Services to advertise Block Parent Week
on the two service boards ie. Garnet Rickard Complex and near the Bank of
Montreal.
(Motion to Proclaim)
D-4 Becky Wall, Public Health Nurse, requesting Council to proclaim October 4,
2000, as International Walk to School Day. International Walk to School Day
replaces National Walk a Child to School Day (WCSD). On October 6, 1999,
over 42,000 students actively participated in the second annual WCSD in the City
of Toronto, York and Durham Regions. Through our support, they can make
International Walk to School Day successful once again this year in Durham
Region. International Walk to School Day, endorsed by the Canadian Federation
of Municipalities, was established to encourage children and parents to become
more physically active, increase safe walking routes to school and promote
cleaner air in our communities. The importance of this day should not be
underestimated. Two thirds of Canadian children do not participate in enough
physical activity to lay a solid foundation for future health and well being. Traffic
collision statistics for the Region show that young children need to be taught the
importance of safe walking routes and practises. In 1998, approximately twenty
people under the age of 20 were involved in non -fatal collisions with vehicles.
Many of these collisions were due to unsafe pedestrian actions.
(Motion to Proclaim)
D - 5 Deborah Bull, President, Oshawa and District Branch of the Ontario Registered
Music Teachers' Association, requesting Council to proclaim November 19 to 25,
2000, as Canada Music Week. The Ontario Registered Music Teachers'
Association (O.R.M.T.A.) is part of a Canada -wide federation of private music
teachers encompassing ten provinces. The air of this Association is to encourage
and provide the highest calibre of music education possible and to promote high
standards of music in each community. Students studying with their teachers are
assured of qualified, knowledgeable instruction and are provided with
opportunities for performance in music festivals, examinations, public and private
recitals, masterclasses as well as provincial and national competitions. Canada
Music Week celebrates compositions and performances by Canadians nation -wide
and is recognized in this community through colouring contests and recitals
organized by the Oshawa and District Branch of O.R.M.T.A. They would be
please to receive a certificate to add to their archives.

D - 6 Michelle Clarke, requesting a crossing guard be placed on Simpson Avenue and
Jane Street in Bowmanville. After exercising all other options Ms. Clarke has
been directed to Council to make an application for a crossing guard. Ms.
Clarke's six - year -old daughter attends Ontario Street Public School and she is
concerned for the safety to and from school. Living on the east side of Simpson
Avenue, she must cross this busy street without the aide of a crossing guard or
traffic lights. Through conversations with transportation and Ontario Street
Public School, her daughter is unable to be bussed as she is within walking
distance to her school. The only aide that is available to her to cross Simpson
Avenue is at Simpson and King Streets where there are lights and a guard
available. For her daughter to walls to the lights, cross, then walls back to Jane
Street it will add 20 minutes to her trip as well as put her over the kilometers that
is considered walking distance.

Public Works Department)
D-7 Mr. and Mrs. Howe, advising Council that they are against any bridge being built
over Foster Creels. This exclusive neighbourhood would be greatly affected due
to traffic volume and speed, and the property values in this very desirable area of
Newcastle would never be the same. Many of them have enjoyed their court
being tucked away from the larger subdivisions and by having a major
throughway on Grady Drive the problem of traffic would be very dangerous for
all of the younger children who now enjoy the freedom of their street with it's low
traffic volume. The environment surrounding the creels will be destroyed if a
major bridge and road are constructed. They as taxpayers do not want to foot the
bill for this bridge to be built and would be very resentful of any of their taxes
going to the road construction as well. Let the developer pay as he will only
make money from it and they will loose all their equity and peace and quiet and
safety that they now enjoy.

D - 8 Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee, advising Council that
LACAC on September 19, 2000, passed the following resolution:

D - 9 David Climenhage, Chairman, Greater Canadian Town Band Festival, requesting
Council's support for the continuation of Greater Canadian Town Band Festival
in 2001 and future years as a major international band festival. Mr. Climenhage
believes this years' festival was a great success. Over 3000 people attended the
events over July 1St weekend that included the Military Tattoo, Victorian Ball,
The Callathumpian parade and the series of concerts held throughout the village.
Their audience was entertained by some of Canada's finest bands and experienced
the sounds of historic bands that have rarely been heard in Canada. The cost of
mounting this festival is high because of the outstanding quality of bands, the
travel expenses for visiting bands and the cost of staging and advertising the
event. After all revenues and costs are included they have a budget deficit from
their first year of approximately $16,000. The festival committee raised a total of
approximately $70,000 in cash and their total expenses were $86,000. If the in-
kind donations of $20,000 are included, their revenue would total $90,000 raised
versus $106,000 in total expenses. The Great Canadian Town Band Festival is
unique in Canada and has the potential to become a major tourist attraction. Mr.
Climenhage is requesting support from Council in the form of a loan to finance
this years deficit and to consider a level of sponsorship for next year. Their
committee is developing an aggressive plan to fund raise so that they will repay
the deficit and cover all expenses for next year's Great Canadian Town Band

D - 10 Federation of Canadian Municipalities, requesting Council to add their support on
FCM's proposals for the 2001 Federal Budget. They are asking the Municipality
of Clarington to add its support by contacting Members of Parliament and the
Prime Minister of Canada. Last year, FCM's success in achieving a new National
Infrastructure Program was principally the result of their membership
communicating consistent messages to federal political leaders. They urge us to
participate in this process again.
(Motion for Direction)
D - 11 The Township of Stephen, advising Council that the Township of Stephen on
September 5, 2000, passed the following resolution:
"WHEREAS water is a basic unit of life;
AND WHEREAS business does not view water as a social resource
necessary for life but as an economic resource to be managed by market
forces like any other commodity make money;
AND WHEREAS governments must not hand this precious resource over
to the private sector ensuring that decisions regarding the allocation of
water center around business considerations, and that the management of
water resources will be based on the principles of scarcity and profit
maximization rather than long -term sustainability;
Summary of Correspondence -12- September 25, 2000
AND WHEREAS business is driven by increased consumption to generate
profits and is therefore more likely to invest in desalination, diversion or
export of water rather than conservation;
AND WHEREAS during the Walkerton crisis the local Council and PUC
relied on Ontario Clean Water Agency's expertise, experience and in-
depth knowledge during those challenging days and to the present time;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Province of Ontario be
petitioned not to sell the Ontario Clean Water Agency or any Ontario
water resource to the private sector; and that this resolution be forwarded
to the Premier of the Province of Ontario for consideration and circulated
to the Minister of Environment and Energy, Minister of Municipal Affairs,
M.P.P. Helen Johns (Huron/Bruce), opposition party leaders and to
Ontario municipalities for support."
(Motion for Direction)
D- 12 Sharon Todd, Public Relations Consultant, Weight Watchers Canada, writing to
Council regarding Koren Hillier, Weight Watcher Leader and Service Provider.
Ms. Todd is requesting Council's support for Koren Hillier to raise money for the
Canadian Cancer Society and Breast Cancer Awareness in the "Head for a Cure"
campaign. Koren has promoted healthy living and support to her Weight
Watchers members in her "At Work" meetings, since November 1999 at the
Town Hall location. As well, she has supported cancer fundraising efforts in
many ways. She has, for example, participated in the first Terry Fox in
Newfoundland, and has been moved by the event's power ever since. As many of
Koren's family, friends and members have been touched by this cruel disease, she
believes participating in "Head for Cure" through soliciting pledges to have her
head shaved is her way of supporting them and helping find a cure. She is
thankful for her many blessings in life and believes she has the choice to try to
make a difference. Koren has chosen to shave her head whereas most cancer
patients doesn't have a choice of losing their hair. On September 23 at the Ajax
Community Centre, Koren will shave her head along with 11 others. Her goal is
to raise $10,000 of which she has already raised $4,000.
(Motion for Direction)

Way Oshawa/Whitby /Clarington. They are hoping to create more awareness and
visibility of the United Way in Clarington and this time period falls within their
annual campaign time.

Diane and Doug MacKenzie, 106 Clayton Crescent, Bowmanville,

LIB I L9 addressed Council in place of Mary Rycroft, G.M. Sernas and
Associates, 110 Scotia Court, Unit 41, Whitby, LIN 8Y7. Mr.
Stephenson, the owner of approximately 2/3 of the site addressed in
Report PD -078-00, indicated that the proposal conforms to both the
municipal and the regional Official Plan. The required studies are nearing
completion and, although Mr. Stephenson is sympathetic to the Separate

delay this application. He, therefore, requested that Council adopt the
recommendations contained in Report PD -078-00.
Bob Willsher, 323 Church Street, Newcastle. LIB IC6 addressed Council
with respect to Report PD -078-00. He indicated that the Public School
Board has planned carefully for their future school site requirements and

Catholic District School Board, 1355 Landsdowne Street West,

needs of both the Separate School Board and the future needs of the
municipality. He indicated that a purchase offer has been made to
Mr. Brown and that, as of today's date, the offer has been accepted.
Therefore, the door is now open to establish the school site in the most
favourble location. Mr. Whibbs indicated the Board's willingness to work
with the municipality to ensure that the siting of the school is appropriate
to meet the requirements of the municipality.
Council Minutes - 3 - September 11, 2000
DELEGATIONS
Glen Barkey and Walter Vice, 4220 Townline Road North, R.R. #2,
Blackstock, LOB 1 BO addressed Council with regard to the dumping
and/or stockpiling of large quantities of paper sludge in at least one site on
the Oak Ridges Moraine. Through a slide presentation, they demonstrated
to Council the degree to which the storage of this sludge has extended.
Their immediate goals are to have the piles of "stored" paper sludge
removed, to ensure that proper regulations are introduced and enforced in
respect to the storage and/or non-agricultural use of paper sludge and to
ensure that paper sludge is not used as a component of unregulated landfill
or in a land reclamation "product". Therefore, they are requesting that
Council:
• Actively and immediately pursue the enforcement of existing
municipal zoning by-laws
• Consider enacting new by=laws to better protect the water and
environment of our community by eliminating the possibility that any
concentration of paper sludge (or other waste materials) be placed in
environmentally sensitive areas, and specifically on the Oak Ridges
Moraine
• Seek a reversal by the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario of the
MOE (lack of) rules that allow paper sludge to be used as a significant
component in unregulated material
• Request the Region of Durham/Ministry of Health to initiate on-going
testing for acrylamides and endotoxins in municipal water systems and
private wells
• Have the Municipality, in conjunction with the City of Oshawa,
immediately pursue a "peer review" of Atlantic Packaging research on
paper sludge, with a specific view to understanding the chemistry of
stockpiled sludge
• If necessary, to assist them, or to take on the responsibility of an
application to the OMB to have the stockpiling and/or landfill use of
paper sludge in any form stopped.

1-24 Association of Municipalities of Ontario announcing free flu vaccines.
M06.GE Ontario is the first jurisdiction in North America to provide universal
access to a publicly funded immunization program for influenza. The
Ministry of Health and Long Term Care is expanding its publicly funded
influenza immunization program to ensure all Ontarians are eligible for a
vaccination shot every year. The Provincial Government will spend $38
million, $31 million of which is new funding, to administer 7.9 million
doses of influenza vaccine this year. The municipal cost of implementing
this initiative will vary according to the number of inoculations
administered through local public health units. Any cost to municipalities
resulting from increased work in local public health departments must be
balanced with the positive effect that immunization can have on workplace
absenteeism. Since there are a number of different ways of receiving the
flu vaccine, the municipal cost resulting from this new initiative is
uncertain.

M06.GE Ministry of the Environment has issued corrective orders to 72 water
treatment plants following an inspection blitz. The Ontario Ministry of the
Environment released results from its recent inspection of 241 water
treatment plants. Of the total, 131 treatment plants were found to have
`deficiencies' in their operations. 72 plants were issued field orders to
take corrective measures. MOE Field orders were issued for one or more
of the four following reasons:
• Insufficient number of chemical/bacteriological samples being
taken
• Inadequate maintenance of disinfection samples being taken;
• Lack of chlorination or coagulation/floculation/filtration treatment:
and
• Improper certification or training of plant operators
Given the upcoming discussions on drinking water at AMD's annual
conference, and continued political and media interest on the issue, AMO
will be compiling information on municipal drinking water operations and
infrastructure needs. AMO is seeking information from a representative
sample of municipalities that are facing significant funding shortfalls
associated with maintaining or upgrading their water operations and/or
infrastructure. The information AMO is seeking includes a brief
description of our municipal drinking water operations and infrastructure
needs, the approximate cost of the required investment, and whether your
municipality has received funding through provincial and/or federal
funding mechanisms over the last five years.

purpose of preserving or restoring eligible heritage properties. This is

provides municipalities across the province with an opportunity to help
support the individual preservation efforts of heritage property owners.
They are asking municipalities to help facilitate delivery of this program
by making the rebate application forms available to applicants in
municipal offices. As approval for work done on designated properties is
currently a municipal responsibility, they are also asking municipalities to
note on the application form that this approval has been given prior to the
applicant submitting the rebate claim to the Ministry of Finance.

1-9 Wanda Pitchforth, Executive Director, Literacy Network of Durham Region,
advising Council that September 8'h is International Literacy Day. This is a day
set aside each year to recognize the importance of reading and writing in our
communities, and the struggle faced by 55% of Durham Region's adult
population who have some level of difficulty with literacy skills. The
International Adult Literacy Survey report confirms that literacy is liked to the
economic success of not only Durham Region, but the province of Ontario and
Canada as a nation. Each and every day, employees are put to the challenge of
dealing with higher level tasks in the workplace. The bar is being raised in order
to adapt to changes in technology and market conditions. In fact, very few people
in Durham Region have the reading and writing skills needed to meet today's
challenges. The solution lies in revaluing learning. Adult literacy is an issue that
demands serious attention by decision makers. Government business, educators,
volunteers and individual citizens all have a role to play in creating a society that
values learning and supports literacy for all age groups. The Literacy Network of
Durham Region will be launching a family literacy tool kit in the near future and
they hope that they can count on our support to encourage people in the
Municipality of Clarington to pick up a copy of this tool and make use of its
ideas.

I - 12 Helen Johns, Minister of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation and Elizabeth
Witmer, Minister of Health and Long -Term Care, providing Council with their
brochure, Active Ontario - New Directions and Partnerships. More than 60% of
the people in our province are not physically active enough to benefit their health.
The Government of Ontario considers this a serious challenge to the health and
quality of life in communities across our province, and has made a commitment to
increase the number of physically active Ontarians by three per cent by the year
2001. The latest research tells them that the best way to increase physical activity
is to make it a part of daily life. This means it is important for them to reach out
to people in their workplace, school, homes, communities and the recreation,
sport and health systems. Working together with the Ontario Physical and Health
Education Association, ParticipAction, Parks and Recreation Ontario, the Ontario
Public Health Association, the Leisure Information Network, the Canadian
Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute, provincial sports organizations and other
partners, they have begun launching a number of provincial initiatives to support
this new direction.

1- 15 Ruby McPhee, advising Council of a letter that was published in her local paper
on August 23, 2000, regarding Toronto sending their garbage to the Adams Mine
Site. This is not an ordinary landfill site we are voting on. This is a small lake at
the bottom of a large pit. The mine has been closed for several years and if the pit
didn't leak it would be over 600 ft deep instead of 250 ft deep. Ms. McPhee's
nephew who is a geologist and mining engineer and has worked in mines in
Africa and now is currently in Brazil worked at this Adams Mine in the summer
holidays while he was going to mining school. He said one of his jobs was to do
a dye test to see if the pit leaked. The results of the dye test showed that the water
in the pit leaked out into all the little streams and the river that is close to the site.
This is where Mr. McGuinty is going to pump the water out of the pit into all
these little streams and the river. On voting to send Toronto garbage to this site
we will be voting for a licence to kill as this water that he is going to pump out
will contaminate the navigable waters from here to Ottawa and eventually the
little streams and rivers flowing in the Municipality of Clarington's direction.

I - 16 Ministry of Health and Long -Term Care, updating Council on long-term care
operators, interested parties and associations on how the Ontario government is
proceeding with the development of 20,000 new long-term care beds. Later this
fall, the Ministry of Health and Long -Term Care will begin the process for the
final round of allocations for new long-term care beds. This is the final phase of
the government's commitment to build 20,000 new beds. These beds will
conform to the province's new standards for long-term care facilities. For this
final round of awards, the ministry is streamlining the application process on the
basis of input from long-term care providers and associations. The new process in
intended to be simpler, more flexible and it will help ensure that beds are built on
time and in service areas where there is the most need. Under the new
requirements, applicants must own, have an option on land or a long-term lease
and demonstrate they can meet the ministry's financial and development
requirements. Preferred locations have been identified by the ministry to provide
assistance to applicants looking for sites.

I - 17 Rick Rakus, General Manager, Central Region, Enbridge Consumers' Gas,
informing Council that starting next month, they will be notifying their customers
about an upcoming natural-gas rate increase. The Ontario Energy Board has
already approved an 11.9% increase for natural-gas costs, effective June 1, 2000.
The upcoming rate increase will be more substantial. They have asked the
Ontario Energy Board to approve an increase of an additional 18.1% effective
October 1, 2000, the largest part of which is due to the increase in the commodity
price of natural gas, which has virtually doubled over the last year. Mr. Rakus
would like to stress that Enbridge Consumers' Gas will not profit from this
increase. As a utility regulated by the Ontario Energy Board, they are not allowed
to mark up the price they pay for natural gas. They set their rates based on
exactly what it costs them to buy natural gas.

that on July 5, 2000, the Canada Transportation Act (the Act) was amended to
address restructuring within the Canadian air transportation industry. One of the
amendments specifically addressed the notice requirements for air carriers
proposing to reduce or discontinue air services within Canada. An air carrier is
now required to give affected communities notice that it proposes to reduce or
discontinue air services to a point within Canada in three situations. If one of
these situations arises, then the carrier must give the community or communities
affected 120 days notice before the date it proposed to discontinue or reduce a
service. Carriers who have served a point for less than one year are required to
give 30 days notice. A carrier may apply to the Agency to have the notice period
reduced.

Community Credit Union, requesting Council to proclaim Thursday, October 19,

October 19, 2000. This day is part of a week in which they celebrate the
accomplishments of Canada's 10,000 co-operatives, credit unions, and caisses
populaires. This year's theme is "Co-ops and Credit Unions... Investing in
Canadian Communities." Canada's co-operatives and credit unions represent the
optimism that Canadians feel about the communities in which they live. Not only
do co-operatives and credit unions invest in communities, the returns that those
investments yield stay in those communities, providing jobs and generating
economic activity. For co-operatives and credit unions, success is also measured
in the number of jobs they create, in the services they offer to their members, and
in the equitable way they distribute their earnings within the communities they
serve. More than 135,000 people are employed by co-operatives and credit
unions from coast to coast.

theme is Breastfeeding: It's Your Right! It recognizes the importance of raising
awareness about the fact that breastfeeding is a right for both mother and child
and seeks to stimulate a shift in public thinking so that this right is respected,
protected, facilitated and fulfilled at household, community and government
levels in every country. This special week provides an opportunity for people
around the world to join together, in celebration and action, to raise public
awareness of the benefits of breastfeeding to mothers, infants and society at large;

D-4 Becky Wall, Public Health Nurse, requesting Council to proclaim October 4,
2000, as International Walk to School Day. International Walk to School Day
replaces National Walk a Child to School Day (WCSD). On October 6, 1999,
over 42,000 students actively participated in the second annual WCSD in the City
of Toronto, York and Durham Regions. Through our support, they can make
Intemational Walk to School Day successful once again this year in Durham
Region. International Walk to School Day, endorsed by the Canadian Federation
of Municipalities, was established to encourage children and parents to become
more physically active, increase safe walking routes to school and promote
cleaner air in our communities. The importance of this day should not be
underestimated. Two thirds of Canadian children do not participate in enough
physical activity to lay a solid foundation for future health and well being. Traffic
collision statistics for the Region show that young children need to be taught the
importance of safe walking routes and practises. In 1998, approximately twenty
people under the age of 20 were involved in non-fatal collisions with vehicles.
Many of these collisions were due to unsafe pedestrian actions.

been directed to Council to make an application for a crossing guard. Ms.
Clarke's six-year-old daughter attends Ontario Street Public School and she is
concerned for the safety to and from school. Living on the east side of Simpson
Avenue, she must cross this busy street without the aide of a crossing guard or
traffic lights. Through conversations with transportation and Ontario Street
Public School, her daughter is unable to be bussed as she is within walking
distance to her school. The only aide that is available to her to cross Simpson
Avenue is at Simpson and King Streets where there are lights and a guard
available. For her daughter to walk to the lights, cross, then walk back to Jane
Street it will add 20 minutes to her trip as well as put her over the kilometers that
is considered walking distance.

D-7 Mr. and Mrs. Howe, advising Council that they are against any bridge being built
over Foster Creek. This exclusive neighbourhood would be greatly affected due
to traffic volume and speed, and the property values in this very desirable area of
Newcastle would never be the same. Many of them have enjoyed their court
being tucked away from the larger subdivisions and by having a major
throughway on Grady Drive the problem of traffic would be very dangerous for
all of the younger children who now enjoy the freedom of their street with it's low
traffic volume. The environment surrounding the creek will be destroyed if a
major bridge and road are constructed. They as taxpayers do not want to foot the
bill for this bridge to be built and would be very resentful of any of their taxes
going to the road construction as well. Let the developer pay as he will only
make money from it and they will loose all their equity and peace and quiet and
safety that they now enjoy.

Council's support for the continuation of Greater Canadian Town Band Festival
in 2001 and future years as a major international band festival. Mr. Climenhage
believes this years' festival was a great success. Over 3000 people attended the
events over July I" weekend that included the Military Tattoo, Victorian Ball,
The Callathumpian parade and the series of concerts held throughout the village.
Their audience was entertained by some of Canada's finest bands and experienced
the sounds of historic bands that have rarely been heard in Canada. The cost of
mounting this festival is high because of the outstanding quality of bands, the
travel expenses for visiting bands and the cost of staging and advertising the
event. After all revenues and costs are included they have a budget deficit from
their first year of approximately $16,000. The festival committee raised a total of
approximately $70,000 in cash and their total expenses were $86,000. If the in-
kind donations of $20,000 are included, their revenue would total $90.000 raised
versus $106,000 in total expenses. The Great Canadian Town Band Festival is
unique in Canada and has the potential to become a major tourist attraction. Mr.
Climenhage is requesting support from Council in the form of a loan to finance
this years deficit and to consider a level of sponsorship for next year. Their
committee is developing an aggressive plan to fund raise so that they will repay
the deficit and cover all expenses for next year's Great Canadian Town Band
Festival.

D- 10 Federation of Canadian Municipalities, requesting Council to add their support on
FCM's proposals for the 2001 Federal Budget. They are asking the Municipality
of Clarington to add its support by contacting Members of Parliament and the
Prime Minister of Canada. Last year, FCM's success in achieving a new National
Infrastructure Program was principally the result of their membership
communicating consistent messages to federal political leaders. They urge us to
participate in this process again.
(Motion for Direction)
D - 11 The Township of Stephen, advising Council that the Township of Stephen on
September 5, 2000, passed the following resolution:
"WHEREAS water is a basic unit of life;
AND WHEREAS business does not view water as a social resource
necessary for life but as an economic resource to be managed by market
forces like any other commodity make money;
AND WHEREAS governments must not hand this precious resource over
to the private sector ensuring that decisions regarding the allocation of
water center around business considerations, and that the management of
water resources will be based on the principles of scarcity and profit
maximization rather than long -tern sustainability;
Summary of Correspondence - 12- September 25, 2000
AND WHEREAS business is driven by increased consumption to generate
profits and is therefore more likely to invest in desalination, diversion or
export of water rather than conservation;
AND WHEREAS during the Walkerton crisis the local Council and PUC
relied on Ontario Clean Water Agency's expertise, experience and in-
depth knowledge during those challenging days and to the present time;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Province of Ontario be
petitioned not to sell the Ontario Clean Water Agency or any Ontario
water resource to the private sector; and that this resolution be forwarded
to the Premier of the Province of Ontario for consideration and circulated
to the Minister of Environment and Energy, Minister of Municipal Affairs,
M.P.P. Helen Johns (Huron/Bruce), opposition party leaders and to
Ontario municipalities for support."
(Motion for Direction)
D - 12 Sharon Todd, Public Relations Consultant, Weight Watchers Canada, writing to
Council regarding Koren Hillier, Weight Watcher Leader and Service Provider.
Ms. Todd is requesting Council's support for Koren Hillier to raise money for the
Canadian Cancer Society and Breast Cancer Awareness in the "Head for a Cure"
campaign. Koren has promoted healthy living and support to her Weight
Watchers members in her "At Work" meetings, since November 1999 at the
Town Hall location. As well, she has supported cancer fundraising efforts in
many ways. She has, for example, participated in the first Terry Fox in
Newfoundland, and has been moved by the event's power ever since. As many of
Koren's family, friends and members have been touched by this cruel disease, she
believes participating in "Head for Cure" through soliciting pledges to have her
head shaved is her way of supporting them and helping find a cure. She is
thankful for her many blessings in life and believes she has the choice to try to
make a difference. Koren has chosen to shave her head whereas most cancer
patients doesn't have a choice of losing their hair. On September 23 at the Ajax
Community Centre, Koren will shave her head along with 1 I others. Her goal is
to raise $10,000 of which she has already raised $4,000.
(Motion for Direction)
D - 13 Lynn Martin, Campaign Associate, United Way, requesting permission to hang a
banner over highway #2 from October 1, 2000 until October 27, 2000, for United
Way Oshawa/Whitby/Clarington. They are hoping to create more awareness and
visibility of the United Way in Clarington and this time period falls within their
annual campaign time.

agreed that the South wail should be taken down and rebuilt. It will take approx 2,000
bricks and his mason will not be available until October. He agreed that it will have to be
done then as we do not think it will survive a severe winter. Fred will take care of getting
the bricks, etc.

Tim reported on the Grant applications he received from Charles:
CP - doesn't think that anything we are doing right now qualifies for this grant.
— Ontario Trillium - this is a link grant (we would have to link up with another
group) and he feels there is too much paper work involved, before and afterwards.
Heritage Challenge Fund - this is a matching funds grant which would be from
fundraising, with no more than 25% coming from Municipal or Provincial funds.
— Museum Assistance Program - this can be used for the preservation of an existing
building (ie. Potting Shed) and is a 50% matching funds program. This is the grant
that Tim felt was the most promising.
Sher reported on a Funding Meeting she attended in Whitby. Representatives of six
organizations reported on the funds they have available for grants. She felt that the
Ontario Trillium Foundation was the most promising but suggested that the Board come
up with a "Wish List" for the next meeting and then they can match the wishes to the
grants available.
It was also suggested that a committee meet with Al Strike to discuss the Trillium Grant
and have his input on the application forms.
Motion - to defer the grants and meeting with Al Strike to the Finance &

Attention: Mr. John Grieves
Dear Mr. Grieves,
Re: Goodvear Canada Inc. Settlement
Bowmanville Creek n ��
Municipality of Clarington ft'
CLOCA File �—
Thank you for advising us of the status of charges against Goodyear Canada Inc.,
regarding the petroleum spill on Bowmanville Creek. We would like to take this
opportunity to suggest possible projects that could be undertaken to improve the fish
habitat of Bowmanville Creek. If a settlement is reached with Goodyear, we believe that
the best use of any resulting funds is the completion of fish habitat improvement projects
on the watershed.
As you are aware, we have just completed the Bowmanville Soper Creek Aquatic
Resource Management Plan. The report contains numerous conclusions and
recommendations for projects that could be undertaken to improve the fish habitat of the
watershed. We would like to undertake a Bowmanville Soper Creek Aquatic Resource
Management Plan Implementation Program to carry out these recommendations and
projects. An example of possible projects that could be undertaken include:
• Study fish passage through the Goodyear dam fishway, and make structural
improvements as deemed appropriate. (reference: p 159, recommendation 1)
• Complete stream stability studies through the Vanstone Dam area, and undertake
restoration works. (reference: p130)
• Creation of a sea lamprey barrier in the vicinity of Baseline Road (reference: p 159,
recommendation 2)
• Provide funding for land stewardship projects, including riparian vegetation
restoration (reference: p 143), reforestation (reference: p 145), and in -stream fish
habitat improvements (reference p 145).
• Acquire environmentally sensitive land for conservation and protection of fish
habitat
Providing funding to CLOCA for the Implementation Program has several additional
benefits. CLOCA works closely with Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Ministry of
- - Natural Resources, and meet regularly to discuss fishery issues and projects. CLOCA
has significant in house expertise and experience with fish habitat issues, and has a
Level 3 agreement with DFO for the administration of Section 35 of the Fisheries Act.
CLOCA also has the ability to match any funding through partnerships with federal,
provincial, municipal, or private interests.
Finally, CLOCA is committed to working with the community. The ARMP has been
developed through a public process with input from other agencies, academic
organizations, interest groups, and the general public. We also recognize the efforts of
Valleys 2000, and the Bowmanville Anglers, and look forward to assisting these public
interest groups in their endeavours.
In conclusion, the Bowmanville Soper Aquatic Resource Management Plan
Implementation Program is a great opportunity to close the door on environmental
damages as a result of an accidental petroleum spill, and to apply any resulting funding
to protecting and improving fish habitat on the same watershed.
We trust this is to your satisfaction. Please feel free to contact the undersigned if you
have any comments.
Yours truly,
J.R. Powell, CAO,

Subject: VICIOUS DOG DECLARATION • GILKS
It is respectfully recommended:
THAT Report CO -50-00 be received; and
2. THAT the vicious dog declaration served on Nicole Gilks be upheld.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
Nicole Gilks lives at 50 Bradshaw Street, Bowmanville and has four dogs (two adults and two pups). On
September 6, 2000, her neighbour called police and indicated that there is an ongoing problem with the
dogs barking and running loose. On this date, the dogs started barking again and the owners were at
home. The neighbour decided to go over and ask the owners to keep the dogs quiet (it was approximately
2:00 a.m.) The door wasn't closed tightly and when she knocked on it, it swung open. Two of the dogs
began barking and charged at her. The screen door was closed but, due to the fact that there was no
screen, the dogs came right through the door. The two dogs attacked and the neighbour was bit on the
- back of her right leg. Her screaming alerted another neighbour who came out and assisted. The woman
was taken to Lakeview Health, Bowmanville and treated. She suffered severe bruising from the bite. This
neighbour is concerned for the safety of the residents of the neighbourhood.
The Department of Health ordered the dogs to be quarantined at their residence for a period of 10 days.
This quarantine period was to end on September 15, however, when our officers went to the property on
September 11, the dogs were running outside. All four dogs are presently being held at the Animal
Shelter. The two adults are suffering from an extreme case of Fleas.
Following investigation of the incident, the Animal Services Officer issued a declaration of vicious dog to
Ms. Gilks. The declaration requires the owner of the vicious dog to:
1. licence and register the dog with the Clarington Animal Shelter and have the dog permanently
Proof of such registration must be provided to the Animal Services Division within 30 daidentified by microchip implantation, at his expense, within 21 days of receipt of the Declaration.
ys;
2. notify Clarington Animal Shelter immediately upon relocating the dog or upon transfenfng
ownership of the dog;
Report CD -50-00 2. September 25, 2000
3. restrain the dog at all times, while the dog is on her own property, by keeping her enclosed in a
pen or other enclosure in such a manner as to prevent the dog from leaving the property and to
prevent contact with people and other animals;
restrain the dog at all times, while the dog is off her own property, with the use of a muzzle and a
leash no longer than 6 feet and under the care and control of a person who is 16 years of age or
older.
Ms. Gilks pleaded guilty and was charged with two offences for failure to licence. The first offence, the
court imposed a $50.00 fine and the second offence Ms. Gilks received a suspended sentence.
Ms. Gilks will be addressing Council to appeal the vicious dog declaration on September 25, 2000. It is
staffs recommendation that the vicious dog declaration be upheld.

2.0 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
2.1 At the meeting on November 3, 1997, Council approved the recommendations contained ii,
Report #Admin -47-97 and authorized the execution of Principles of Understanding with Blue
Circle Canada Inc. ("Blue Circle"). That report discussed in some detail the complex ant
interrelated components of the Principles of Understanding including land transfers, the
acquisition of Cove Road (then a private road) and certain additional land. the reconstruction
of Cove Road. the construction of approaches and a bridge over the Westside Creek an(
dedication of the same as a public highway, financial arrangements with Blue Circle and the
making of certain other agreements and arrangements. The Principles of Understanding -
implemented recommendations of the Waterfront Regeneration Trust.
2.2 At the meeting on June 19, 2000, Council approved the recommendations contained it
Report Solic-0-00 and authorized the execution of the Fourth Amending Agreement to tht
Report No. WD -36-00
Page 3
Principles of Understanding. (The Principles of Understanding dated November 3, 1997, as
amended are referred to in this report as the "Principles".)
2.3 At the meeting on October 6, 1997, Council approved the recommendations contained in
Report WD# -64-97 that conditional on Council's approval of an agreement with Blue Circle,
staff be authorized to prepare by-laws for Council's approval to stop up and close and
authorize the conveyance to Blue Circle of a portion of Waverly Road, and to dedicate a
portion of the Blue Circle haul road and its extension as a temporary public highway. The
Principles of Understanding dated November 3, 1997 satisfied the condition respecting an
agreement with Blue Circle.
2.4 At the meeting on November 3, 1997, Council also passed By-law No. 97-249 dealing with
the Temporary Public Highway. Parts 7 and 9 on Plan 40R-17774 and Parts 12 and 13 on
Plan 40R-17775 (see Attachment No. 2) were dedicated as a public highway until a by-law
is passed dedicating Cove Road and the connections of it via a bridge over Westside Creek
to Cedar Crest Beach Road. The land required for it was part of Blue Circle's haul road and
was leased to the Municipality for a term that ends when the Cove Road dedication by
is passed.
2.5 At the same meeting, Council passed By-law Nos. 97-250, 97-251 and 97-252 to stop up and
close as a public highway a portion of Waverly Road described as Closure Area A in the
Principles, declare it and associated reserves to be surplus under Section 193 of the
Municipal Act, and to authorize the conveyance of the lands comprising Closure Area A and
associated reserves, being Parts 1, 3 and 5 on Plan 40R-17774 to Blue Circle as provided for
in the Principles. The transfer of these lands to Blue Circle will not take place until the
"Closing Date" provided for in the Principles. It is expected that the Closing Date will occur
before the end of July, 2000.
2.6 As provided for in the Principles, Public Works has given Blue Circle written notice that
Cove Road, the Westside Creek Bridge and the approaches to them have been constructed
or reconstructed to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works. As a consequence,
subject to Council's consideration of representations made at the public hearing on July 10.
2000, Council now can pass a by-law dedicating Cove Road, the Westside Creek Bridge and
the approaches to them being Parts t, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 on Plan 40R-17895
(see Attachment No. 1) as a public highway and assume them for public use.
2.7 If Council decides to dedicate Cove Road , the Westside Creek Bridge and approaches to
them as a public highway, it would be appropriate to pass by-laws to stop up and close the
Temporary Public Highway as a public highway on Parts 7 and 9 on Plan 40R-17774, to
declare Part 9 to be surplus and to authorize the release and surrender of any interest of the
Municipality in Part 9 on Plan 40R-17774 (see Attachment No. 2) to Blue Circle.
No. WD -36-00

2.8 The Principles provide that after the passing of the dedication by-law referred to in paragraph
2.6, Council will consider whether to close and authorize the conveyance to Blue Circle of
the portion of Waverly Road described as Closure Area B (see Attachment No. 3), together
with the associated reserves. Public Works has determined that an appropriate area for
turning vehicles can be provided entirely within the portion of Waverly Road at the southerly
end of the Hydro One Transmission Corridor, without requiring the transfer of an easement
from Hydro One Transmission Corridor to the Municipality, to accommodate the turning
area for this purpose.
2.9 If the Temporary Public Highwav is closed, the Municipality will not require Closure Area
B to be retained as a public highway. Accordingly, subject to Council's consideration of
representations made at the public hearing on July 10, 2000, Council could pass by-laws to
declare them surplus, to stop up and close Parts 1, 2, 3, 12 and 13 on Plan 40R-17775 as a
public highway, to declare Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 on Plan
40R-17775 surplus and to authorize the transfer of the latter Parts to Blue Circle.
2.10 Prior to the negotiation and the execution of the Principles by the Municipality on November
3, 1997, and the passing of the by-laws referred to in paragraph 2.5, Council had obtained
an assessment of the fair market value of the portions of Waverly Road and associated
reserves abutting Blue Circle's lands. However, as noted above, the Principles contain
complex and interrelated provisions dealing with land transfers, the cost of the reconstruction
of Cove Road and the cost of construction of the Westside Creek Bridge and approaches as
well as other financial burdens assumed by Blue Circle and the Municipality, respectively.
2.11 Attachment No. 6 to Report #Admin -47-97 is a memorandum from Franklin Wu, then the
Director of Planning and Development, to W.H. Stockwell, then the Chief Administrative
Officer, in which Mr. Wu recommended that Waverly Road be deemed surplus and be closed
and conveyed to Blue Circle in exchange for a portion of the Westside Marsh and other lands
on both sides of West Beach Road. Mr. Wu also stated that the land exchange is necessary
to implement the recommendation of the Regeneration Trust and is in compliance with the
procedure governing the sale of real property as set out in By-law No. 95-22. (The latter by-
law was passed under section 193 of the Municipal Act and establishes procedures governing
the sale of real property.).
2.12 Blue Circle is the owner of the lands abutting Closure Area B and located both to the east
and to the west of it. It is recommended that by-laws be passed declaring the lands within
Closure Area B to be surplus and notwithstanding section 7 of By-law No. 95-22, to
authorize their transfer to Blue Circle as abutting owner for a nominal consideration.

Closure Area D referred to in the Principles is a portion of Waverly Road located northerly
of the intersection of Waverly Road and Watson Drive. It comprises Parts 2. 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9,
10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 on Plan 40R-19843 (see Attachment No. 4). Parts 8, 9, 10,
I 1 and 12 comprise the portion of Waverly Road within Closure Area D. The other parts are
associated reserves. Blue Circle has consented to the closure of Parts 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 as
a public highway and to the conveyance of these Parts and the associated reserves to
CLOCA, provided that certain easements are first transferred to Blue Circle in Parts 2, 4, 5,
9, 10, 12, 15, 17 and 18 on Plan 40R-19843. The easements proposed to be transferred to
Blue Circle are described in the Public Notice (see Attachment No.5), The easementsar
rm re
required to allow Blue Circle to construct and maintain a portion of an acoustic be
certain land, the overflow channel from the Westside Marsh on the land and to access lands
to the east and west on Closure Area D on which certain works will be constructed and
maintained by Blue Circle to implement the Principles and other agements. The lands to
re
be transferred to CLOCA will be managed by CLOCA with the Reconfigured Westside
Marsh and other areas as part of the Bowmanville/Westside Marsh Complex pursuant to a
Management Agreement with the Municipality which is contemplated by the Principles.
The portion of Waverly Road within Closure Area D is not required as a public highway.
Subject to Council's consideration of representations made at the public hearing on July 10,
2000, it is recommended that a by-law be passed to stop up and close as a public highway
Parts 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 on Plan 40R-19843. It is also recommended that notwithstanding

Subject: BY-LAWS TO DEDICATE COVE ROAD AS A PUBLIC HIGHWAY AND TO
r
CLOSE, DECLARE SURPLUS, AND AUTHORIZE TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS
OF WAVERLY ROAD, CERTAIN RESERVES AND THE TEMPORARY
PUBLIC HIGHWAY TO IMPLEMENT THE PRINCIPLES OF
UNDERSTANDING WITH BLUE CIRCLE CANADA INC.
Ree mend )us:
It is respectfully recommended to Council the following:
I • THAT Addendum to Report WD -36-00 be received.
REPORT
1.0 BACKGROUND
I.1 On July 10, 2000, Council held a public meeting in respect of the proposed by-laws
contained in Report WD -36-00 as required by the Municipal Act. No person made
representations to Council respecting any of the by-laws.
1.2 Since the first closing of the Principles of Understanding between Blue Circle Canada
Inc. and the Municipality of Clarington had not occurred before July 10, 2000, on the
Solicitor's advice, Council deferred consideration of Report WD -36-00 until the Solicitor
advised that the first closing has occurred. You have now been advised that the first
closing has occurred.
1.3 Section 193 of the Municipal Act requires that as a general rule, before surplus land of
the Municipality can be sold, an appraisal of the fair market value of the property must be
obtained.
1.4 Report WD -36-00 recommends the sale for a nominal consideration of the lands and
easements which had been transferred to the Municipality by Blue Circle Canada Inc. in
escrow at the first closing, to CLOCA for a nominal consideration. CLOCA has entered
into a Management Agreement with the Municipality in respect of these lands and
easements as well as an Option Agreement under which the Municipality may reacquire
ADDENDUM TO REPORT NO.: WD -36-00
PAGE
these lands and acquire other parts of the Bowmanville Marsh from CLOCA if certain
events occur.
1.5 Property Valuators/Consulting Inc. were retained to prepare an appraisal of fair market
value of the lands and easements v, nick were transferred by Blue Circle to the
Municipality in escrow. The appraisal dated June 23, 2000 is available for examination
by Council and interested members of the public in the Clerk's office.
1.6 The fair market value of Waverly Road including Closure Areas B and D was previously
appraised by Cornwall Property Consuuants Limited. A copy of the Cornwall appraisal
is also available in the Clerk's office for examination by Council and interested members
of the Public.
1.7 Blue Circle's lease of a portion of the haul road to the Municipality as a temporary public
highway will terminate automatically when Council passes a by-law to dedicate Cove
Road and the Westside Creek Bridge as a public highway. The passing of the road
closing by-law is necessary to change the legal characteristic of the land from land having
the legal characteristic of a public highway so that it will again become the private
property of Blue Circle.
2.0 CONCLUSION
2.1 This report is provided for Council's information in order that Council can comply with
section 193 of the Municipal Act.

RecOmMendations:
It is respectfully recommended to Council the following:
1 • THAT Report PD -076-00 be received;
2• THAT the applications DEV 97-083 and DEV 97-084 initiated by the Municipality of
Clarington, to amend Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63 of the former Town of
Newcastle, as amended, be APPROVED;
3• THAT the amending by-laws attached hereto be forwarded to Council for adoption
subsequent to the closure of the temporary public highway and the release of the lease on
the temporary public highway;
4• THAT the changes in the proposed by-laws are minor and that a new Public Meeting to
consider the revision to the by-laws is not necessary;
5. THAT a copy of this Report be forwarded to the Region of Durham Planning
Department, Blue Circle Canada Inc., Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority and
the Port Darlington Community Association; and
6. THAT all interested parties listed in this report and any delegations be advised of
Council's decision.
1. BACKGROUND
1.1 In 1996 Council authorized the Municipality to enter into negotiations with Blue Circle
Canada Inc. (Blue Circle) to implement the recommendations of the report of the
Waterfront Regeneration Trust entitled "Westside Marsh - Report and
Recommendations". Arising from these discussions are the "Principles of
Understanding" between Blue Circle and the Municipality of Clarington which were
adopted by Council on November 3, 1997. This agreement contains a number of
REPORT PD -076-00
PAGE 2
conditions that must be fulfilled by both the Municipality and Blue Circle towards the
completion in the arrangements.
1.2 Included in the "Principles of Understanding" are proposed changes to the Durham
Regional Official Plan, Clarington Official Plan and the Municipality's Zoning By-law
which were agreed to by staff and representatives of Blue Circle. On November 3, 1997
Council approved the modification to the Clarington Official Plan and requested the
Region to modify the Regional Official Plan upon the fulfillment of conditions by both
the Municipality and Blue Circle. In addition, two zoning by-laws were prepared that
would implement the concept and were attached as Schedules to the "Principles of
Understanding". The Municipality agreed to initiate the process under the Planning Act
to rezone the lands associated with the Westside Creek diversion, the Westside and
Bowmanville Marshes and the Marsh Link Area, and on January 19, 1998, a Public
Meeting was held in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act.
2. APPLICATION DETAILS
2.1 Two applications have been initiated by the Municipality of Clarington to rezone lands _
currently owned by Blue Circle and Hydro One Networks Inc. The details of the
applications are noted below.
2. 1.1 Application DEV 97-083
Owners:. Blue Circle Canada Inc.
Hydro One Networks Inc. (Ontario Hydro)
Rezoning: from "Agricultural (A)" zone and "Extractive Industrial Exception (M3-
1)" zone to "Agricultural (A)" and "Environmental Protection (EP)" zones.

Protection (EP)" zone.
Location: Reconfigured Westside Marsh, Marsh Link Area and overflow channel
(Attachment No. l)
Area: 39 hectares (96 acres)
3• SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING AREAS
3.1 The subject lands are dominated by the Westside Marsh, Bowmanville Marsh and Hydro
One Networks Inc. transmission corridor. The lands also possess a portion of the
Waterfront Trail and some open space areas.
3.2 Surrounding Uses:
West - Blue Circle quarry, cement plant and associated uses
East - Bowmanville Harbour Conservation Area and Bobby C's Restaurant
and Manna (formerly known as Port Darlington Marina).
North - C. N. Railway and Highway 401
South - Cove Road and Cedar Crest Beach Road residential areas.
4• OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
4.1 Durham Reeional Official Plan
4.1.1 The lands subject to application DEV 97-083 include the future creek diversion, a portion
of the Bowmanville Marsh and other small holdings. These areas are designated "Major
Open Space" and "Waterfront Link" in the Regional Official Plan. The designations
appropriately reflect the current and future status of the lands.
4.1.2 The lands subject to Application DEV 97-084 include a portion of the Westside Marsh
and Marsh Link Area. They are designated as "Special Policy Area B" within the
Durham Regional Official Plan. In ADMIN Report 47-97, Council requested the Region
of Durham to amend the Official Plan to reflect the "Principles of Understanding" with
REPORT PD -076-00
PAGE 4
Blue Circle. Council also requested that the Region not adopt the proposed modification be
to the Official Plan until such time as the temporary public highway is closed and the '
Lease is released to Blue Circle. By-laws to close and convey this temporary public S
highway will be considered by Council on Julv 10. 2000.
4.2 Clarington Official Plan ;p,
4.2.1 The lands subject to application DEV 97-083 are designated "Waterfront Greenway" and tei
"Environmental Protection" in the Clarington Official Plan. The designation
appropriately reflects the current and future status of these lands. r
4.2.2 The lands subject to Application DEV 97-084 are designated as "Special Policy Area 2"
and are also deferred in the Clarington Official Plan. In ADMIN Report 47-97, Council
recommended approval of Modification # 170 to the Clarington Official Plan which s
redesignates the reconfigured Westside Marsh and other lands as Environmental
Protection Area. This modification also proposes a number of changes designed to L
implement the "Principles of Understanding" and to ensure that existing irritants of noise v
and dust will not be further aggravated as quarrying activities proceed easterly. The uc
modification is to be approved by the Region of Durham at such time as the temporary a}
public highway is closed and the Lease is released to Blue Circle. 'p
ty
5. ZONING BY-LAW PROVISIONS cc
5.1 The lands associated with these applications are currently zoned "Agricultural (A)" and tit
"Extractive industrial Exception (M3-1)". The proposed by-law amendment will zone re.
the majority of the lands "Environmental Protection (EP)" to reflect the new creek
diversion, the green space system, and to protect the reconfigured marsh. Those lands la
located within the Hydro One Networks Inc. corridor and not committed to the creek
diversion area, shall be zoned "Agricultural (A)" as these lands are not required for the an
conveyance of the creek and the hazards associated with the creek.
ns
6. PUBLIC MEETING AND SUBMISSIONS
6.1 The public meeting for this proposed amendment to the Municipality's Zoning By-law, as
REPORT PD -076-00
PAGE 5
required by the Planning Act, was held on January 19, 1998. In accordance with the
regulations of the Planning Act, public notice was mailed to each landowner within the
prescribed 120 metre (400 ft) distance and a notice was placed in the Canadian
Statesman.
6.2 At the Public Meeting, one resident stated that they are generally in favour of saving as
much of the marsh as is possible. This resident also stated that concerns pertaining to
noise and dust are being addressed. There has been no other correspondence received by
the Planning Department either in support or opposition to this application.
7. AGENCY COMMENTS
7.1 The rezoning applications were circulated to various departments and agencies for
comment. Comments were not received from the Ministry of Natural Resources, the
Ministry of Transportation, C. N. Rail and CLOCA. Although comments were not
received, these agencies are aware of the process. CLOCA, in particular, has been an
active participant in fulfilling the "Principles of Understanding".
7.2 The Municipality of Clarington Fire Department and Public Works Department have no
objection to these applications. Also, Clarington Hydro, now Veridian, had no objection
to the application, but did request to receive a copy of the proposed plan for the
reconstruction of Cove Road in order to examine if there will be any impact to services.
7.3 The Region of Durham Planning Department advised that detailed comments will be
provided prior to the Region acting on the deferral (Deferral No. 1). They advise that any
zoning amendment for DEV 97-084 will not come into force and effect until the required
Official Plan policies are approved. The attached by-law references that the zoning will
come into effect when the deferral is resolved.
7.4 On April 10, 2000 Hydro One Networks Inc. advised verbally that they had concerns
regarding the extent of the "EP" zoning for their corridor lands. Hydro One Networks
Inc. is considering additional revenue opportunities for linear services which would be
REPORT PD -076-00
PAGE 6
constructed within their corridors (e.g. fibre optic cable). Accordingly they requested
that the zoned lands be restricted to the diversion channel lands only.
7.5 In April 2000, Blue Circle Canada. in review of the proposed zoning, confirmed that an
easement exists, in favour of Blue Circle Canada, to allow access to the quant' across
Hydro One Networks Inc. corridor lands west of Waverly Road. These lands are
currently zoned "Agricultural (A)". In accordance with the "Principals of
Understanding", Hydro One Networks Inc. lands in their entirety were to be zoned
"Environmental Protection (EP)". Blue Circle expressed concern that rezoning the entire
corridor lands, including the easement, "Environmental Protection" would not accurately
reflect the entrance use.
Blue Circle also requested that the zoning of the lands located west of the Waverly Road
adjacent to the Overflow Channel Lands "A", `B" and "C" (Attachment No. 1), reflect
the registered plan for this area. The lands used for the purposes of conveying water
from the marsh to Lake Ontario, including the easement lands to provide access to
maintain the Overflow Channel will be zoned "Environmental Protection (EP)". The
lands located west of the features will be zoned "Extractive Industrial Exception (M3-1)".
S. STAFF COMMENTS
8.1 The applications for rezoning have been initiated by the Municipality of Clarington as
agreed upon in the "Principles of Understanding". By-laws were prepared and form part
of the "Principles of Understanding" being Schedule "N" and "O" respectfully. Although
the agreement indicates the intent of both parties to proceed with the zoning by-laws
identified in the agreement, it expressly indicates that Council's legislative discretion is
not fettered by the agreement. The clause recognized that the previous Council could not
bind the current Council. It also recognized the public notice requirements of the
Planning Act that needed to be followed prior to making a decision.
8.2 Ownership of much of the land subject to these applications will be transferred to Central
Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA). The rezoning of the subject lands
REPORT PD -076-00
allows for revisions to assessed value to reflect the limited range of uses under
conservation authority management.
8.3 Cove Road has been reconstructed and the bridge connecting Cove Road and Cedar Crest
Beach Road has been constructed and is currently being traveled upon. Council on July
10, 2000 will consider by-laws to adopt Cove Road as a public highway and to officially
accept and open the bridge. Public Works has confirmed that Veridian has had
Opportunities to review the plans to assess if there will be any impacts to their service.
8.4 Hydro One Networks Inc.'s concerns have been reviewed. As the surveys of the creek
diversion area have been completed for these lands and deposited with the registry office,
their request can be accommodated. The 'Environmental Protection (EP)" zoning will
reflect the limits of the creek diversion and the remainder of the lands will be zoned
"Agricultural (A)".
8.5 Blue Circle Canada's request have been reviewed and as previously established as per
Hydro One Networks Inc. request, only these lands used for the creek diversion works
will be zoned `Environmental Protection". As such, the lands subject to the easement for
the entrance to the quarry are currently zoned "Agricultural (A)" and will remain so
zoned as such. With respect to the lands located west of Channel Lands "A", `E" and
"C", these will be zoned "Extractive Industrial Exception (M3-1)".
9. CONCLUSION
It is recommended that the by-laws which accompany this report as Attachment No. 2
and Attachment No. 3 be approved. The by-law for DEV 97-084 (Attachment No
will not come into force . 3)and effect until such time as the appropriate modifications to the
Municipal Official Plan and Regional Official Plan are adopted in accordance with
Section 24(2) of the Planning Act.
