jurisdiction in North America to provide human rights protection for transgendered
people and is an important step in ensuring all transgendered members of the

themselves as female is permitted to use a female washroom. He expressed concern

unsafe situations using public washrooms. He stated that accessible washrooms or
family washrooms were safe alternatives and requested that the Municipality place

Presentations:
Mike Porporo from MPAC provided an overview of MPAC, the assessment cycle, and property
valuation. He also walked through their online tool, AboutMyPropertyTM, and discussed the
process for requests for reconsideration. He indicated that the average increase in farmland
values was 34% for Ontario; 28% for Durham Region; and 31% for Clarington. The cost of
farmland in Clarington is approximately $8,500 per acre.
The discussion following the presentation included a number of questions, of which the answers
can be found below:
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington November 8 10, 2012
Farm property assessment values are based on recent farmer to farmer, open market
sale transactions where farming is the principal occupation.
An increase in assessed value doesn't necessarily translate to increased property taxes.
However, if the percentage change of your property is greater than the average
percentage change then your property taxes may go up. Taxation is only partially based
on the value of the property, while the other variable is the municipality's budgetary
requirements and tax rate. Currently, farm property owners in Clarington pay 20% of the
residential tax rate.
There are several factors at play driving up the price of farm property, including: low
interest rates, less available farm land, and an increase in hobby farms. ,
- In the future, property owners will be able to access all of their previous MPAC
assessments (beginning in 2012) online through AboutMyP rope rtyTM
Business Arising from Minutes
1) The Farmer's Parade of Lights will be on December .5 th, 2012 beginning at 5:45pm.
There was some discussion around the promotion of the event.
2) Faye clarified that the Municipality's perspective on the Lamb's Rd., Interchange is different
from that of the MTO. While the MTO would prefer to leave the interchange at Bennett Rd.,
the Municipality, and the Region would prefer the. interchange to be at 'Lamb's Rd. as it
would better service downtown Bo_ wmanville. This is reflected in the Regional Official Plan
and the Clarington Official Plan
Correspondence and Council Referrals
1) Staff Report PSD7050 -12 regarding the Municipality's comments on the Province's review of
the Provincial Policy Statement that will be going to the General Purpose and Administration
Committee on Monday,' November 12th. She advised that the Municipality is in support of the
proposed: changes to the Agriculture: section of the PPS based on the comments from the
members 'at the last meeting:
2) URS .has been contracted by the MT0 to undertake a study of the 401 interchanges from
Brock Street, in Whitby, to Courtice Road with the potential for a Townline /Prestonvale Rd.
interchange: The dates have not yet been announced for the public information centre.
3) Applications are now being accepted for the Premier's Award for Agri -Food Innovation
Excellence in case - anyone 'on the committee knows of someone in the community who
should be nominated. The deadline for submissions is Friday, January 18th, 2013.

3. .Arena Manager's Report -Nothing but positive comments were being received over
the lobby bleachers, Bryan reported. They worked well for the Clarington Girls
Tournament. Particularly, for seniors who prefer not to sit at ice level in the cold rink
area. Bryan also advised all is well with programming and staff and he will be
completing his vacation time in November _Request from Ron King, again this year for
ice time on New Year's Day was discussed at length. As those two hours are the only ice
booked for that day, it became a costly situation to bring staff in for his sponsored event.
Mr. King has rented New Year's Day ice from 1: ooP.M. 3:00 P.M. for the past several
years and invited all his clients, neighbors and friends for a free skate. The board
members agreed: That although it was not a profitable day for the arena, the tradition
was worth continuing. Ron King of Freedom.55 will be advised of the available ice time.
The chair advised: he had heard back from Gym -Con Contractors regarding the
invoiced price on the new flooring. They had advised: They would not accept any
amount less than what they had invoiced, less the small token discount they had offered.
In response, Gord replied, in writing, advising of the arena board members'position on
the issue and further advising Gym -Con we would forward a cheque for the quoted
amount. Then, refer the matter to the Municipality of Clarington for discussion and
further direction.
Motion # 12 -129 was proposed: THAT: Payment of the quoted amount of $23,617. oo
be forwarded to Gym -Con, immediately and our chair-will follow -up, from his letter, by
advising the Municipality of Clar. ington Finance Department of the issue and our
position.
Moved by: -Bob Holmes Seconded by: Jo Anne Raymond
CARRIED
(Further to the above motion) — The day after our meeting, Gord was contacted by
Mr. Bond of Gym -Con and advised they will, with reluctance, accept the quoted amount
and reduce their invoiced price by the $1,goo.00, plus HST. Providing immediate
payment was forthcoming. A cheque was issued and mailed October 11th, 2012. No
(2)
follow -up to the municipality was therefore required. The cheque has been cashed by
Gym -Con.
Further discussion took place on the addition of another lobby bleacher for the west
window, opposite Bryan's office. For financial reasons, at a cost of $1,700.00, it was
deferred to a ficture date -perhaps, on our 2013 budget plans. However, a need for
accessibility for the handicapped at ice level was discussed. Councillor, Partner offered
to contact the Municipality's Accessibility Committee for possible advice on
accommodating this need.
A further need for employee identification in the building was discussed. Shell Jackets
worn over the rink employee's outerwear appeared to be the solution. Bryan offered to
acquire pricing and bring it to our next meeting.
4. Financial Relrort — Accounts receivable of $15,694.69 were provided, with $9,540.00
being current and $5,998.56 of the over go, being that of the NSC.
Income statement of revenue at $179,146.77 of budget and expenses at $173,606.01
Indicating we are at 54.5% of our budget, as of October 2, 2012 and on target.
Net income - Y.T.D. - $5,540.76.
A TV and stand for the lobby was still a requirement that had not been attended to, since
the break -in. With no NHL Hockey to watch, it had not been a priority. However, the
Chair advised: It will be in place for November — A budget of $500.0o had been
approved for the purchase.
5. New Business — Discussion on our annual Christmas Dinner for the board members
and manager was deferred to the November meeting. Gord Lee was to follow -up with
the Massey House Restaurant for pricing and accommodations in December.

Charity #892978560 RR0001
ABOUT O.V.E.R.T Since 1996 the organization has assisted over fifty agencies within Ontario, and has been
deployed internationally during major disasters. OVERT is a registered charitable organization based in Durham.
The team consists of specially trained civilians and emergency workers such as firefighters, police officers and
paramedics. These "unpaid professionals" come from all walks of life giving themselves for their community.
All team members undergo significant ongoing training to ensure that the highest level of service is provided.
OVERT is a unique concept in community based emergency response. This new concept is referred to as
"second tier response." OVERT is the first program of its type in Ontario that provides the emergency services
with a community based "inside the tape" surge capacity. Search and Rescue is the primary function of OVERT
providing to the police services highly skilled SAR personnel to assist with search operations for missing
persons. We have developed and become more effective and capable of assisting our community during major
community emergencies in technical rope rescue, K9 search, Marine capabilities, logistic support, etc. Earlier
this year, OVERT was one of the only ones who responded to the water and housing crisis up in Attawapiskat,
Ontario.
WHY THE PARTNERSHIP? OVERT has an important mandate to assist people both here in our community and
abroad when they need it most. Emergency Preparedness is something we take for granted and it's wonderful
that there are a group of benevolent volunteers who are ready to assist us in our times of need. OVERT does not
receive consistent funding or financial assistance from any government sources. As such, funds to cover
operational demands come from fundraising events or private donations. Without these OVERT simply would
not be able to operate. The recent partnership with DYN Exports to distribute used clothing bins for donations is
a great opportunity to increase the profile of our organization and potential fundraising.
ABOUT DYN EXPORTS Established in 1994, employs over 200 people and is located in Vaughan. Their entire
business is built around recycling used clothing and transforming these unneeded articles into products for both
people in developing countries and by providing efficient and timely products to clients right here in North
America. Rather than purchasing used clothing from the United States, DYN would rather credit local charities,
as if they were purchasing from the US. This can amount to 41% of proceeds. DYN has established a strong
partnership with charities such as SickKids Foundation and now us, OVERT.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM Once the bin is placed, DYN takes over. A truck with our logo will come around weekly
to pick up the bin contents and inspect the property each time to ensure all is in good order. If there is an issue
between pick -ups, a maintenance truck can be sent to address the issue. You may have noticed other bins in the
community look unmaintained and don't actually name a charity, misrepresenting themselves. Our bins clearly
represent OVERT as the charity including our charity number and contact information.
Your support is greatly appreciated!
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this opportunity further, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
