There was discussion about making more of the 21 Page funding available for accessibility projects or creating a new accessibility driven grant program. The CIP group members suggested that a brochure be prepared with testimonials by people that have received grants (including their names) since word of mouth is the best promotion.

The current representative is Karen Murphy who is the past representative and she agreed to continue to represent the Heritage Committee despite not serving on the Heritage Committee this term.

Reg. 282198 passed under the Assessment Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. A.31, however the exemption provided in section 4 of the Act shall apply to such buildings. Also, for clarity, the words "constructed on a vacant lot" shall be added after the words "new industrial building" in section 30 pertaining to the exemption for new industrial development. Staff would also like to propose a further amendment to the proposed Development Charges Bylaw 2015 -036 relating to the revitalization and transit hub exemptions. Part of the submission from Weston Consulting noted the additional costs of building with a higher quality product like masonry. Much of our multi- storey buildings to date have included vinyl siding, which is a less durable product, can look poor as it ages, requires more maintenance, does not have the same sound attenuation properties as masonry and is less energy efficient. Staff feel CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO l-1C 3AB T 905 - 623 -3379 F 905- 623 -4169 Development Charges Study and By -law Report FND- 007 -15 And By -Law 2015 -035 Page 2 that the substantial exemptions provided should only be for projects using higher quality building materials. Therefore staff would recommend amending Sections 31, 34 and 35 to add the words "masonry- clad" in front of apartment buildings and mixed use buildings in these sections. If Council is supportive of this, a resolution as follows would be appropriate for the Council meeting of May 11, 2015: "That the Development Charges By -law Number 2015 -035, Sections 31, 34 and 35 be amended to add the words "masonry- clad" in front of apartment buildings, mixed -use buildings and retirement residence in these sections."
