DELEGATIONS
Cathrine McKeever addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item I - 7 -
Integrity Commissioner for Clarington. Ms. McKeever stated that to have staff
investigate whether to hire an Integrity Commissioner or not is a waste of staff time
and taxpayers’ money. She feels that Council already has the necessary resources to
monitor themselves through the role of the Mayor, as Chair of the Meeting, the
expertise of the Municipal Clerk and Municipal Solicitor and a number of governing
laws. Ms. McKeever questioned the basis of the mistrust that has permeated the
Council Chambers and why she should believe that an Integrity Commissioner’s ruling
would carry any weight when the ruling of the Mayor is often dismissed.
Ms. McKeever stated that she was offended by the assertion made by Councillor Traill
at a previous meeting that any vote against having an Integrity Commissioner was
simply a vote for corruption. Ms. McKeever requested Councillor Traill to retract her
statement and to apologize.
Jarett Hebert was called but was not in attendance.
Tricia Hebert was called but was not in attendance.
Council Meeting Minutes - 5 - July 2, 2013

Watershed and are in the process of raising funds to promote an access for physically
challenged anglers to enjoy their sport. Mr. Lawson provided copies of a detailed
booklet entitled “Planning, Design and Build Proposal for an Accessible Fishing Trail
on Bowmanville Creek”. Mr. Lawson stated they are very excited about the project but
need funding to assist in their endeavours and are asking the Municipality to help
make the project happen through a Clarington Community Grant. Mr. Lawson stated
the Association has acquired Sustainable Trails for the planning, design and
construction of this accessible fishing trail on Bowmanville Creek. Mr. Lawson stated
the cost of Phase I of the project for bank stabilization, natural surface gravel,
fieldstones, and machinery is approximately $5,600. He noted the Association has
conducted studies to determine the best location where fish congregate to
construction the access point. Mr. Lawson reviewed Phase II of the project advising
that the Association is in the process of applying for a Federal grant under the
Fisheries and Oceans Canada Recreational Partnership Program and the total cost of
the project is $30,370. Mr. Lawson confirmed that this project is the first of its kind in
Durham Region and to date, the Association has other corporations and businesses
within the Municipality that have committed to funding the first phase of the project to
some degree and they are quite close to their goal through fundraising efforts.
