"CARRIED"
Council Meeting Minutes - 5 - June 2, 2014
Marshall Hohmann addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item I — 9 -
General Accessibility Awareness and This is my Town. Through use of a PowerPoint
presentation, Mr. Hohmann indicated that accessibility should be found everywhere
and posed questions regarding the meaning of accessibility and what individuals with
disabilities need to think about. The slides highlighted daily challenges regarding
transportation, building accessibility, automatic door openers, washroom facilities, and
work stations both in the workforce and at schools. Individuals with disabilities must
be versed in communication technology, work twice as hard to prove they are capable
of working, and often take twice as long just to get in and around buildings.
Computers and smartboards have given individuals access to classroom discussions.
Mr. Hohmann questioned how accessible life would be if one could not speak and had
no voice and challenged people to try one 24-hour period without using their voice or
to imagine their lives without hearing, hands, feet or sight. Most of the public do not
realize that so many places aren't accessible, particularly in Bowmanville. With
accessibility comes possibility and society must work hard to bring the need for
accessibility to awareness. Mr. Hohmann has spoken all his life about accessibility
and awareness and requested the installation of convex mirrors in his high school to
make it more accessible and a safer place for all. As part of the presentation, a video
entitled "Day at School: Marshall Hohmann, developed by Mr. Hohmann's brother
and a friend to thank the School Board for installing the convex mirrors, was played.
Mr. Hohmann's message to Council was they now have the knowledge of what he has
shared, the power to change attitudes and enlighten the world around them, and to
make changes for the better.
Linda Kent, CEO/Library Director, Clarington Public Library, and Gail Rickard, Chair,
Clarington Public Library Board addressed Council concerning Item 12 of Report#1 -
Report CSD-010-14 Theatre Dance Academy Leased Space requesting Council to
consider amending the resolution put forward by the General Purpose and
Administration Committee. Ms. Kent reviewed the library's mandate and commitment
to work cooperatively with other organizations, noting the library shares the concern
for youth and for improving the lives of local residents. She referenced the needs
assessment study conducted last year which indicated the Courtice community is
underserved. Ms. Kent indicated the library needs the entire 6,000 square feet
returned for the expansion to address the lack of meeting room space, space for
community based programs, quiet study space, teen area and to increase the number
of print and digital material. Ms. Kent, on behalf of the Library Board, thanked Council
for their support in moving the expansion forward and requested Council to return all
the daycare space to the library in accordance with the recommendations proposed in
staff Report CSD-010-14.
Council Meeting Minutes - 6 - June 2, 2014
Elva Reid addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item D — 9. Ms. Reid
advised that one year ago, she was approached by a movie company to lease a
portion of her land for producing a feature-length film and introduced Mark McFadden,
Haunted Peak Inc. Ms. Reid highlighted the economic benefits to the community as a
result of the film production. She expressed concern that on April 24, 2014, she
received a registered letter containing a formal Order to Remove Notice with no
explanation provided, no visit or phone call of what the violation was or what she
needed to remove and indicated that six weeks later, it has yet to be explained how
the Fill By-law has been violated. Ms. Reid stated she has been threatened by the
Municipality with a clean-up, the cost of which would be added to her tax bill. Ms.
Reid indicated she would like an apology from the Municipality for sending the Order,
that it was sent in error, a written explanation that all records are expunged and no
record on title of this Order exists. Ms. Reid also requested an apology from
Councillor Partner for trespassing on her property and taking and distributing
photographs. Ms. Reid stated the movie company applied for a permit and was
exempt from the by-law when the permit was issued. She confirmed that the red clay
brought onto the property was used as a dusting and its purpose was landscape
material to provide continuity to other movie sets and is the same material that is used
on running tracks. Ms. Reid confirmed that her contract with the movie company has
been fulfilled and that no human footprint remains on the land used for the movie
shoot. She stated the Order "red-flags" her property and requested Council to rescind
to remove the Notice and distributed a proposed resolution.
Councillor Partner apologized to Ms. Reid and her apology was accepted.
