(Receive for Information) 1 - 7 Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), advising Council that Bill 30 proposes to protect from union sanctions those full -time firefighters who choose to volunteer for their local community fire departments (two - hatters). AMO strongly endorses the Bill as it establishes the principles of right to work as it protects these volunteers from union actions, which could result in the loss of their full -time employment as firefighters. At the same time, the interests of communities and ratepayers are protected and labour certainly is established. Two- hatters are important to many rural and small town fire departments as they provide expertise, training and leadership.

Mr. Parish also advised that Ajax Council wishes to emphasize that it is not requesting an additional Environmental Assessment process. Item #3 is primarily intended to cover off a situation where supplementary information may be required to address an area of concern specific to the Town of Ajax in relation to the Iter project. (Receive for Information) 1 - 14 Lisa McNee- Baker, Executive Director, Big Brothers & Sisters of Clarington, thanking Council and the Tourism Office for taking part in their annual Fruit Wine & Food Festival held on May 25th, at Archibald Orchards.

(Receive for Information) Summary of Correspondence - 4 - June 24, 2002 1 - 16 Power Budd Energy Update, advising Council that the Ontario Energy Board has released a decision on the Hydro One distribution rate application. The Board did not approve Hydro One's proposed methodology for recovering the costs of its shared low- voltage (LV) system. According to the Board, "to burden these identifiable loads with costs of a service they have not used and are not using amounts to cross - subsidization." The Board accepted the arguments of the coalition of local distribution companies (LDC) represented by Power Budd, along with the arguments of AMPCO and Toronto Hydro, that recovery of the costs of the shared LV system should be based on a "user -pay" approach. As such, Hydro One was ordered to recover the costs of its shared LV system from those LDCs and Embedded Directs that are connected to the LV system and based on their use of the LV system. The shared LV charge will now be $0.56 per kW based on use of the LV system. (Receive for Information) 1- 17 Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario, providing Council with an overview of the fiscal situation of the Provincial Budget.

(Receive for Information) Summary of Correspondence - 5 - June 24, 2002 1 - 21 Susan Larsh, Communications Committee Chair, Valleys 2000, thanking Council for the recent successful completion of the reconstruction of the roadway leading down into the Bowmanville Valley. The improved entrance off Roenigk below King Street is certainly a more pleasing entrance to the valley and to the upgraded and newly designed trails. The co- operation of both Council and the municipal staff is much appreciated in assisting the volunteers to achieve the vision of restoring and enhancing the Bowmanville and Soper Creek Valleys as accessible, recreational and environmental amenities and to link the Waterfront Trail to the historic centre of Bowmanville. (Receive for Information) 1- 23 Cheryl MacLeod, Executive Director, Hospice Durham, providing Council with a copy of their Annual Report. (Receive for Information) 1- 24 Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), providing Council with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario's response to the Provincial Budget.

Some $245 million of that funding is to be made available in 2002 -03, a portion to be allocated to help municipalities upgrade their water systems; • Intention to give upper tiers and single tiers the option of lowering the current farm tax rate of 25% of the residential tax rate; • The government will consult with municipalities on the introduction of tax -free opportunity bonds. The Provincial intention is to assist municipalities as they borrow funds to maintain and /or improve their infrastructure; and • The government will consult with municipalities and the private sector in an effort to develop legislation that would enable tax - incentive zones in Ontario. (Receive for Information) CORRESPONDENCE FOR DIRECTION D - 1 David and Cindy Bosy, requesting Council not to consider the Courtice Highway 2 Corridor Study until such time as the study and accompanying map are revised to include their existing property (1690 Highway 2). They have lived on this property for almost 15 years and spent a considerable amount on renovations in hopes that the cost could be recovered when the property was ultimately developed for office or commercial use. Summary of Correspondence - 6 - June 24, 2002 They are aware of the requirement of an environmental impact study to determine the top of bank. They trust that the study will be funded by the Municipality as a requirement of rezoning. (Motion to refer correspondence to the Director of Planning Services) D - 2 Lynne Dennis, President, Port Darlington Community Association Inc., writing on behalf of the Port Darlington Community Association which represents 110 households of East Beach, West Beach, Cove, Cedarcrest Beach and Watson Roads, to express their concern and ask for assistance in regards to the matter of the unsafe, unsightly, and they believe, unlawful storage housed on the grounds of a firm in their area. The firm calls itself "Outside Storage ", which fronts on Port Darlington Road north of the railway tracks, an area zoned "M2 ". They believe that, according to Clarington's Industrial By -laws for an M2 zone, the operations of this business contravene: • Section 24.1 (b) (x): regarding outside storage of goods and materials. Presently the business provides storage for hundreds of rusty and new propane tanks, large propane supply tanks, rusty dilapidated unlicensed cars, trucks, truck trailers, junk, tent trailers, which are not "accessory and incidental to a permitted use "; • In fact, there appears to be a separate business operated upon those premises to fill and refill propane tanks. Hundreds are brought in and out by the truckload, and filled from large supply tanks; • Section 24.3 (a): contrary to this by -law, these articles are not "in rear or interior sideyard, no closer to a public street than any principal structure and no closer than 1.20 metres to rear or interior side lot line "; • Section 24.3 (b): outside storage is "in excess of 70% of total lot area" and • Section 24.3 (c): there is no "screening from public street ". (Motion to refer correspondence to the Director of Planning Services and the Senior Municipal Law Enforcement Officer) D - 3 David Staples, Orono Parade Chairman, requesting Council's permission to hold the following annual Durham Central Fair Parades (Orono), Elementary School Children's Parade - February, September 6, 2002 2. Fair Parade - Saturday, September 7, 2002 Summary of Correspondence - 7 - June 24, 2002 The Durham Central Fair is celebrating its 150th anniversary and there will be may special events to commemorate this occasion. (Motion to approve provided organizers apply for and obtain a road occupancy permit) D - 4 William Krywucyk, requesting permission to close Hooper Square from 61 Hooper Square to 91 Hooper Square on July 27, 2002 or rain date of July 28, 2002, for a benefit barbeque. Tim Hick is a 29 -year old father, husband, son, brother, nephew, cousin and good friend. On August 4, 2001, his life was changed in an instant. While spending the weekend at his in -laws' cottage, Tim was injured in a freak accident. He was swimming and called to his dog Georgia. She jumped off the dock and landed on his neck, crushing his C5 and C6 vertebrae, leaving him instantly immobilized. Modifications to Tim, Wendy and Evan's house are required in order for Tim to come home. Equipment needs to be purchased that will give him independence. Unfortunately, not all of these items are provided under OHIP or covered by insurance. A fundraiser is being planned to help raise money to pay for these essentials. (Motion to approve provided organizers apply for and obtain a road occupancy permit) D - 5 Otto Provenzano, President, 988925 Ontario Inc., advising Council that he feels that Courtice would greatly benefit from extending the downtown core east to Trulls Road. With this in mind, 988925 Ontario Inc. and Mr. Provenzano would be willing to share in the cost to put in the services (sewers, water, etc.) needed in relation to the frontage of 1413 King Street East (north side). Placing the service down the middle of the road, as in the rest of Highway 2 would benefit all homes and land now and in the future. With everyone assisting in the cost of the services, the reconstruction of the road would be left to the Region and the Municipality of Clarington. Incorporating the services in the road and developing the Highway 2 as commercial property would be of great benefit for Clarington's future. (Motion to refer correspondence to the Director of Planning Services) D - 6 Bob Rantz, C.A.O., Town of Petawawa, advising Council that the Town of Petawawa on June 3, 2002, passed the following resolution: "WHEREAS the Ontario Hospital Association in its 2001 labour market survey report has indicated that: The average age of the hospital professional workforce is 42 years; and Summary of Correspondence - 8 - June 24, 2002 That approximately one- quarter of Registered Nurses, Registered Practical Nurses and Personal Support Workers are in the 50 - 59 year age range, with the majority of the remaining nursing workforce in the 40 - 49 age range; and That over 51 per cent of physicians are 50 years of age or older, with 21 per cent over 60; and WHEREAS the three main outcomes of human resources shortages related to patient care are anticipated to be emergency room overcrowding, increased waiting time for surgeries and the inability to open new beds; BE IT RESOLVED that the Council of the Town of Petawawa petition the Ministers of both Health and Colleges and Universities to put plans in place immediately to address the anticipated labour shortage of these groups of first line health providers; and further THAT the Town Council of Petawawa circulate this motion to the Council of the County of Renfrew, the M.P.P. for this riding and other Ontario municipalities for their endorsement."

(Motion for Direction) D - 10 Grace Moores, Hampton Citizens Association, requesting Council to help fund their upcoming 3rd annual Family Fun Day in Hampton on September 14, 2002.
