accepted
Report #1 - 5 - March 24, 2014

straightforward recommendation to Council as follows:
"Moved by Ian Kruis, seconded by Mike Dymarski
THAT Council defer asking staff to report on administrative co-ordination of
trails and paths as suggested in the Committee's Task 1 & 2 report as trails
and paths is a subject that the Committee believes very important in
Clarington's sustainability (and that Clarington residents viewed as very
important in the customer service survey) and it would be premature at this
point for staff to report on this administrative matter as the Committee will be
making some further recommendations about it that may suggest some
broader work on this subject.
CARRIED"
AND WHEREAS this recommendation is suitable and the Committee foresight on
this matter is appreciated;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council accept this recommendation
of the Sustainable Clarington Community Advisory Committee as reported in the
minutes of its February 13th meeting.
