Presentations
Dietmar Reiner, Senior Vice President, Nuclear Projects, Ontario Power Generation
(OPG), addressed Council to provide an update on the Darlington Refurbishment
project. Mr. Reiner indicated that 2014 was a very successful year for Ontario Power
Generation and provided background information on the Corporation which produces
50% of Ontario's electricity at a low cost. Mr. Reiner indicated that OPG is taking time
to build on lessons learned from other projects and will manage the refurbishment
project as a program, with three distinct three phases - initiation, execution
preparation and outage execution. Through use of a PowerPoint presentation,
Mr. Reiner provided an overview the scope of work for each phase; the project funding
strategy and off ramps; and, highlighted 2014 accomplishments with respect to the
reactor mock -up, negotiation of project agreements and awarding of contracts, design
modification requirements, the acceptance by the Canadian Nuclear Safety
Commission (CNSC) of the Global Assessment Report and Integrated Implementation
Plan, the judicial review of the Darlington Refurbishment Environmental Assessment
and the progress on the Darlington Refurbishment prerequisite projects. Mr. Reiner
confirmed that the estimate for the project is less than $10 billion dollars, not including
interest or future inflation costs. He stated OPG will be updating the cost estimate
later this year before the refurbishment work begins in fall of 2016. He indicated that
detailed reviews at key decision points ensure all tasks from the preceding phase are
completed before the next phase begins, that funding is only released at these points
and built -in off ramps provide opportunities to change course should the assumptions
change. Mr. Reiner highlighted the Darlington site and 18 safety improvement,
refurbishment and site infrastructure projects underway. He noted six projects directly
related to the refurbishment project and that other projects will allow for and support
the additional 25 to 30 years of service. Mr. Reiner acknowledged the partnership
OPG has with the Clarington Board of Trade and recognized Sheila Hall, Executive
Director, and Curry Clifford, Corporate Initiatives Officer, Municipality of Clarington for
their support. Mr. Reiner noted that $1.5 billion has been invested to date. He
reviewed the reactor mock -up and training facility which will allow for training and
rehearsals in a real -life environment and for workers to perfect specific techniques
before they do any work on the actual reactor. Mr. Reiner indicated the OPG strives
to inform the community through update letters and project newsletters, continuously
conducts briefings with community groups and stakeholders, will be installing a
viewing room for visitors to see the facility and will hold another Open Doors Event in
2015. He noted OPG has submitted an application to renew the Darlington NGS
operating licence for the term 2015 to 2028 which will cover the refurbishment project
timeline and public hearings on the application will be held during the summer and fall
of 2015. Mr. Reiner reviewed the year ahead regarding the project implementation
and thanked Members of Council for their continued support.

Whereas Canada Post did not properly consult on these changes,
effectively eliminating any opportunity for input from the people who
will be most affected; and

eliminate thousands of jobs in communities throughout our country.
Whereas Canada Post offers a public service that needs to be
protected;
Be it resolved that the Municipality of Clarington write a letter to the
Minister responsible for Canada Post that calls on the government to
reverse the changes to services announced by Canada Post, and to
look instead for ways to increase service and revenues in areas such
as postal banking.

Whereas Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne has called for a Canadian

Summary of Correspondence - 4 - February 9, 2015
Whereas Governments in Canada are currently investing 3 to 3.5% of
GDP annually in public infrastructure renewal; and,
Whereas this Partnership would strengthen the Federal Government's
role in enhancing Canada's Economic Union; and,
Whereas, with a Federal election taking place in 2015, Premier Wynne

investments, and whether they are willing to enter into a new and

2014 IN REVIEW — P. Perkins
It has been a pleasure to serve as Chair of Central Lake Ontario Conservation In 2014 and I would like to share with
Board Members and staff, a number of this year's highlights:
• The University of Ontario Institute of Technology, City of Oshawa and CLOCA continue to work collaboratively to
implement a surface water quality monitoring program for the Oshawa Creek watershed. A report was prepared to
summarize data collected in 2013 and continued monitoring activities were carried out in 2014 by UOIT students.
• Land Management and Operations staff once again assisted with the delivery of the 8th annual Step Into Nature
Conservation Areas Workshop for Conservation Area staff across Ontario, providing a full day'tour of Purple Woods
Conservation Area, Heritage Hall and our maple syrup production facilities.
• Completed acquisition of 2 properties (Gill 125 acres, Carruthers 100 acres) and received 1 property donation
(Rogers438 acres) for a total of 663 acres. The donation of the Rogers tract came with a $2 million endowment to
manage and maintain the property. This brings the CLOCA land acquisition total from 1998 to 2014 to 4,163 acres
and total current land holdings to 6,657acres.
• A release of manure in Lynde Creek resulted in a significant environmental impact and staff worked effectively to
coordinate communication, remediation, water and fish sampling as well as developing a long term monitoring .
program to track the fish community recovery.
• Formulated preliminary comments on the Review of Provincial Greenbelt and Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan
in partnership with the Region of Durham and Conservation Ontario.
• CLOCA incorporated the requirements from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MOEECC) recently
released ,4 Guide to Best Management Practices Management of Excess Soil into CLOCA's Large Fill Policy.
• Completion of the consultation process with local area municipalities and other stakeholders of the Hydrogeological
Assessment Conservation Authorities Guideline document to assist proponents and municipalities with the technical
hydrogeological study requirements in support of development plan applications.
• Hydro One Transformer Station Monitoring Cluster CLOCA Groundwater Resources staff will facilitate and

Speaking to the Committee on the topic of Clarington Board of Trade memberships for
farms and agribusiness. The Board has been discussing what the Clarington Board of
Trade can offer to the agricultural community and what the agricultural community has
to offer to the Clarington Board of Trade and its members. Currently the Clarington
Board of Trade offers business, non - profit and student memberships. What about a
farm membership? The Clarington Board of Trade wants to provide programming to
satisfy the needs of the agriculture community in Clarington. It is an excellent
networking opportunity for farmers. The Clarington Board of Trade wants to tell
Clarington's agricultural story.
Don Rickard joined the Clarington Board of Trade after becoming the Agricultural
Advisory Committee of Clarington rep to the Clarington Board of Trade. Don is about to
become the President of the Clarington Board of Trade. He says that the Clarington
Board of Trade membership that he holds offers him good value for the cost of
membership. Les Caswell suggested that the Clarington Board of Trade offer farms a
trial membership and trial newsletter subscription.

RE: Proposed Refreshment Vehicle By -law
Update regarding meeting with Interested Parties
Our File No.: C01.GE ! P09.RE
This memo is further to my commitment, which I expressed at Monday's GPA
meeting, to meet with interested parties regarding the proposed new Refreshment
Vehicle By -law
Staff met on Wednesday with the interested parties. This was a very positive
meeting during which the proposed by -law was discussed in detail. The bulk of the
conversation really focussed on the administrative processes pertaining to special
events.
The following details the outcome of the discussion. .
1. Appendix A to the proposed by -law (Licence Fees) needs to be amended to add:
"Participation in a Special Event — Currently licensed in Durham Region
$25.00 per vehicle"
(As was detailed in Report CLD- 002 -15)
2. The proposed administrative process for participation in special events (as
detailed in section 3.5 of Report CLD -002 -15) was going to prove problematic for
some organizations, and as such it was agreed by staff and the organizations
represented at the meeting, that the process would amended as follows:
The organizer of the special event shall provide a list of anticipated applicants to
staff. Staff will ensure the organizers have the necessary application package
and/or link to the electronic version of the application package to distribute to their
applicants. Applicants will submit their complete application package along with
their licence fee to staff. Staff will process the applications as they are received
and shall notify the organizers as time permits of any deficiencies in an
application. Two weeks prior to the event, staff will notify the organizers of any
outstanding applications or application deficiencies. The organizers will contact
the applicants to prompt them to apply / remedy their application deficiencies.
Generally speaking, applications for participation in a special event must be
submitted two weeks in advance of the event to ensure sufficient processing time.
-2-
While all interested party groups were not represented at the meeting on Wednesday,
staff believes that the proposed administrative processes will be received without
issue.
Based on the outcome of the meeting staff are recommending that the matter be
pulled at Council and that the following resolution be passed which incorporates the
$25 fee for special events licences for those operators holding a current valid licence
within Durham Region.
That Report CLD- 002 -15 be received;
That Clarington Refreshment Vehicle By -law 2004 -114, be repealed and
the By -law included as Attachment 1 to Report CLD - 002 -15, be approved
with the addition of the following:
"Section 2.13(3) Notwithstanding clause 1(a) above, the
Municipal Clerk may issue a licence for a period not exceeding
4 consecutive days if the owners or operators of all eating
establishments within 60 meters of the proposed location of
the refreshment vehicle consent to the issuance and all other
requirements for issuance have been met. "; and
"Appendix A - special event licence fee of $25.00 for those
currently licensed in Durham Region"
That the amendments to the Clarington Municipal Peddlers By -law 2005-
206, proposed in the By -law as Attachment 2 to Report CLD - 002 -15, be
approved with the addition of 2.13(3) (from update memo);
