Under the Planning Act, parkland dedication is a requirement. There is no requirement for the dedication of environmentally sensitive lands. In. most cases, developers are readily agreeable to dedicate these lands as they are a liability for them. Public ownership of these lands may be important to implement the PPS to protect the natural environmental features and potentially for active transportation networks. In the past, we have had developers who have retained valleylands or other environmentally sensitive lands for future negotiation purposes. As an example, the Graham Creek valley and a portion of the Wilmot Creek wetland in Newcastle Village was retained by two different developers. Some of this land has been subsequently dedicated. The lands are not dedicated as the application for plan of subdivision specifically excludes these lands. It is recommended that where the Municipality or another public agency (e.g. Conservation Authority) has identified environmentally sensitive lands for future public ownership, and these lands are within a property that is subject to an application for a plan of subdivision or consent, the Act require that these lands be dedicated to the public authority; That a copy of Report PSD -030-15 be forwarded to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing; and That Granville Anderson, MPP, the Durham Regional Planning and Economic Development Department and any delegations be forwarded a copy of Report PSD - 030 -15 and Council's decision.

That the Region of Durham support the proposed changes to: • eliminate the mandatory 10% reduction for transit service; • 'allow municipalities to use a ten-year future planned level of service for development charge calculations (to be identified in future regulations and indications are this is targeted for transit service); Summary of Correspondence - 5 - June 15, 2015 • include waste management services as an eligible service (this is not included in Bill 73 but Provincial news releases indicate it will be an eligible service in the future, through regulation); and • require the completion of an asset management plan as part of the Development Charge Background Study, but that the asset management plan not be prescribed by the Province, but allow municipalities to submit existing asset management plans; 2. That the Region of Durham cannot support the proposed changes to: • allow the Province to impose area -specific development. charge by-laws for a specific area or service to promote a certain type of land development, as this decision-making must remain the responsibility of the municipal councils; • require municipalities to consider the use of multiple development charge by-laws as part of the Development Charge Background Study to reflect different needs for services in different areas and to use a prescribed asset management plan as part of the Development Charge Background Study; • prohibit municipalities from accepting non -development charge voluntary payments from developers to finance the share of growth -related capital costs that must be otherwise funded by property taxes or water and sewer user rates to advance capital works at the request of developers in order to service their lands; • allow the Province to have authority to investigate a municipality to determine if they have accepted non -development charge. payments and have the municipality pay for the investigation; • implement new reserve fund reporting requirement which includes a statement from the Treasurer that the municipality has not accepted non -development charge payments from developers; and • require municipalities to collect Development Charges upon the issuance of the first building permit, for developments that require multiple building permits; Summary of Correspondence - 6 - June 15, 2015 3. That the Province consider the following additional changes to the DCA: • the 10% statutory reduction be eliminated for all eligible services as it generates a funding shortfall that must be recovered from property taxes; • the calculation of development charges based on a less restrictive ten-year future planned level of service as suggested for transit service, be expanded to include all services; • allow all growth -related capital costs related to waste management services, including waste collection, processing, disposal (including incineration) to be eligible for development charge calculations; • all proposed regulations related to the DCA be circulated for public consultation with key stakeholders, such as municipalities to allow sufficient opportunity to provide input on any changes to the DCA; • any modification regarding development charges for growth - related transit must apply to any local transit systems in keeping with the objectives of the Growth Plan (not just higher order and light rail transit projects); • the Province eliminate all ineligible services so that all services are eligible for development charges, and that removal of any eligible service be done by statute with full consultation with all stakeholders including municipalities;. • the various Provincial requirements for asset management plans such as those required for the purposes of the Development Charge Background Study, grant applications or in the future, under the Water Opportunities Act be consolidated into a single consistent set of requirements; and • Section 16.(4) of the DCA be removed as it predetermines that an outcome of an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) appeal can never increase a development charge or reduce an exemption (i.e. the developer cart never be made worse off) which may serve as an incentive for developers to appeal municipal decisions; Summary of Correspondence - 7 - June 15, 2015 ii) With respect to the Bill 73 proposals to amend the Planning Act (PA): 1. That Bill 73 be revised to include municipal comprehensive review amendments under the ten-year official plan review provision and that the provision apply to recently approved Provincial Plan conformity amendments; 2.

Attached to the correspondence was a draft resolution for Council's consideration as follows: "Whereas the public electricity system in Ontario is a critical asset to the economy and vital to the living standard and well-being of all Ontarians; Whereas it is essential that Ontarians maintain public control and public decision-making with respect to electricity; Whereas experience in other jurisdictions shows that privatization typically means consumers pay more for electricity; Summary of Correspondence - (0 - June 15, 2015 Whereas a privatized Hydro One will no longer be subject to scrutiny by the Auditor General, the Ombudsman, the Financial Accountability Officer, or the Integrity Commissioner, and will no longer be required to provide information or services to citizens under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act, or the French Language Services Act; Whereas our public electricity system currently generates hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for the provincial government every year to help pay for public services we all depend on; Whereas the sale of shares in Hydro One will provide a short-term financial gain for the province in exchange for a much larger long-term financial loss; Whereas the provincial government has no mandate from voters to sell, any part of Hydro One; Whereas opinion polls show Ontarians oppose the privatization of Hydro One by a significant margin in every part of the province; Therefore be it resolved that the Municipality of Clarington call on the provincial government to: Halt the sale of any part of Hydro One, and maintain Hydro One as a public asset for the benefit of all Ontarians; Strengthen Hydro One by investing in the next generation of workers and upgrading our electricity transmission infrastructure; Respect the autonomy and local decision-making powers of local distribution companies by not forcing these companies into mergers or sales; Be it further resolved that the Municipality of Clarington communicate this resolution to the Premier, with copies to the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Energy, area MPPs, and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO); And be it further resolved that the Municipality of Clarington work through AMO to encourage other Ontario municipalities to express their opposition to the privatization of Hydro One." (Motion for Direction) Summary of Correspondence - 11 - June 15, 2015 D -3 D. Bowen, AMCT, Regional Clerk/Director of Legislative Services, Regional Municipality of Durham, advising Council that on June 3, 2015, -the Joint Finance & Administration Planning & Economic Development and Works Committee of Regional Council adopted the following resolution pertaining to Planning and Funding for Transit and Transportation Infrastructure Projects: "A) That the following resolution be endorsed: Whereas Canada remains the only GB nation without a national transit strategy and predictable, long-term support for public transit; Whereas over the last decade, federal, provincial and municipal governments have greatly increased their investment in the expansion of transit systems, but still lack a coordinated framework of policies to optimize the returns to these investments; Whereas Metrolinx was established as a provincial agency to improve the coordination and integration of transportation in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, and has advanced that authority through the approval and implementation of The Big Move; Whereas the province does not have a long-term strategy for other transportation projects, such as Provincial Highway improvements; Whereas Regional Council has previously recommended that a national transit strategy be established; Whereas in Durham Region, long-term planning is constrained due to the unpredictability of provincial and federal financial commitments to transit and transportation; Now therefore be it resolved that Durham Region reconfirm its recommendation to the Government of Canada that a national transit strategy be established, in collaboration with the provinces. Such a strategy would aid planning, prioritization and integration of transit projects amongst all three levels of government. The strategy should provide for dependable, long-term, and sustainable capital and operating funding streams for transit infrastructure, while respecting jurisdictional responsibilities; Summary of Correspondence -12- June 15, 2015 And be it further resolved that the Province of Ontario be urged to establish a provincial transportation strategy that would integrate The Big Move with Provincial Highway investment and other transportation initiatives, and provide fair, equitable, and sustainable funding for all municipalities; B) That a copy of Joint Report #2015-J-30 be forwarded to the Honourable Joe Oliver, Federal Minister of Finance; the Honourable Lisa Raitt, Federal Minister of Transport; the Right Honourable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister; the Leaders of the Federal Liberal, NDP and Green Parties; the Honourable Kathleen Wynne, Premier of the Province of Ontario; the Honourable Steven Del Duca, Minister of Transportation, Ontario; Durham MPs; Durham MPPs; Metrolinx; municipalities in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area; Federation of Canadian Municipalities; the Association of Municipalities of Ontario; and the Opposition Leaders; and C) That the Durham MPs and MPPs be requested to provide their comments on Report #2015-J-30 and advise Regional Council by September 15, 2015 on the action plans of the federal and provincial governments on how to move transit and transportation infrastructure projects forward." (Motion for Direction) I-1 AGRICULTURAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE of CLARINGTON MEETING MEMBERS PRESENT REGRETS: THURSDAY, May 14th, 2015 John Cartwright Tom Barrie Les Caswell Ted Watson Councillor Partner Brenda Metcalf Elgin Greenham Eric Bowman Don Rickard Jenni Knox, Mary Ann Found, Henry Zekveld STAFF: Faye Langmaid, GUESTS: Brian West — Project Manager, TransCanada Pipeline Janice Badgley — Senior Community Relations Advisor Bev Wilton — Project Coordinator, LandSolutions Mike Wilfley — Senior Environmental Planner Adrienne Fournier, ASC Public Relations Brenda welcomed all to the meeting, with introductions. Adoption of Agenda 015-12 Moved by Les Caswell, seconded by Eric Bowman "That the Agenda for Mayl4th, 2015 be adopted" CARRIED Approval of Minutes 015-13 Moved by Tom Barrie, seconded by Ted Watson "That the minutes of the -April 9th, 2015 meeting be approved" CARRIED Guest: TransCanada Pipeline, East Mainline Brian West provided an overview of the project, essentially TransCanada are seeking approval for a new pipeline corridor (mostly adjacent to the existing corridor) across Southern Ontario including 32 kilometres in Clarington. The pipeline enters Clarington north of the 7th Concession and traverses the rural area exiting Clarington north of Highway 2 at the eastern limit. The proposed pipeline will primarily follow the existing route where TransCanada currently operates two natural gas pipelines. TransCanada has indicated that where possible, the right of way for the proposed pipeline will be located adjacent to the existing corridor. However, a number of deviations are proposed.to address topography, land owner concerns, residential homes, and natural. features. The right of way footprint for construction is 42 metres wide, while the easement will be 18 to 26 metres. In Clarington there is also a Compressor Station on Langmaid Road which has major new building and infrastructure to support the new pipeline. In response to questions from Committee members, it was learned that there is distribution all along the system, 40% of the gas coming into the system at Markham is distributed by Belleville. The pipe has a wall thickness of 9 mm and is under 700 psi. Where lines cross the newer pipe always goes below the existing, what was there first has priority and deeper is safer. There are a couple of members that have experience with TransCanada and Enbridge pipelines on their property. The concern is with coordination with the cropping including the archeological survey, damage to the fields (field -rig matts are recommended) and restoration of the land to agricultural "goodness". Tile drains have to be rerouted when encountered and local contractors (or the contractor that installed the tile) should be used. Members stressed better communication with the farmers working the land is needed to ensure that the timing works. Business Arising from Minutes Greenbelt Review process — Many of the members attended the meeting in Newcastle on May 4th. There was disappointment by members with the lack of representation from OMAFRA. The group is pleased with the report that has been endorsed by Council and submitted as Clarington comments. Minimum Distance Separation (MDS) Provincial review - Mitch had provided an e-mail to the group asking for comments on the key proposed changes: Key changes proposed: - Inclusion of a requirement for municipalities to apply MDS to development on existing lots of record unless they adopt Zoning By-law provisions to exempt this requirement. - Expanding the exemption from MDS to address not only catastrophes, but to include reconstruction for other reasons. The committee members were divided in their opinions on the whether existing lots of record should be exempted from MDS. They all agreed that MDS should not apply when catastrophes (e.g. fire) occurs. The Province is accepting comments until May 20th on the proposed changes.

Arena Manager's Report — Bryan brought our attention to a number of bird's nests he had removed from around the perimeter of the building. One had even made entrance into the ceiling of the snack bar and attempted to nest. The others had managed to secure nesting spots in the fan baffles and vent pipes around the building. All are cleared away now. The quotation for new white rink boards, kick plates. and topping had been secured from Sound Barriers for a total expenditure of $6,970.00. All 57 white boards will be cut to size and the kick boards and toppings total of 66 pieces are also included in the pricing. Bryan and his part-time help will remove the old and replace the new boards, over the next few weeks. The board had budgeted for this expenditure and the following motion was proposed: Motion # 15-113 — THAT: Bryan proceeds with this summer project arrange delivery of the material and get the boards installed.

Member's Report — Shea -Lea Latchford reported on her telephone conversation with Veridian, on behalf of the board. Eighteen to twenty odd entries on their invoices make them a little difficult to interpret. Nothing of any significance came out of her conversations. Electricity charges to the arena account are a major concern. Particularly, since we have taken a number of steps to be more energy efficient with the installation of light timers on the washrooms and change rooms, along the lighting upgrades we completed in 2011-12. 6. New Business — • Discussions took place on our ice and floor contracts. It was suggested that the time had come to have our user group contracts reviewed by the municipality. The chair offered to follow-up on this with Community Services and the municipality's legal department, if necessary. With concerns over helmets and safety concerns, all the arena's rules and procedural policies need to be reviewed and posted for public visibility. Councillor Partner and Councillor Woo offered to initiate discussions with the respective municipal departments and provide follow-up to our members. Advertising revenue with ads on the back of our lobby benches was also discussed. The possibility for a small revenue stream was possible and will be followed—up on, during the summer.

Ball hockey on the arena floor for small groups of children may have an attraction for parents.

There was a question to Ron Hooper about all the security that was present on Monday night at the council meeting.

We have been told by the Municipality that it will cost too much to repair the garage, but she is hoping that the tennis people will get involved and that something will get done 7.2 Business Plan (Muriel Moynes) We were asked on Monday night to prepare a business plan, and Alan Tibbles is spearheading this. He passed copies of a COAA"Vision" Business Plan. Alan said that he needed help doing this.

She also said that Jim Abernathy has offered us a page in the June edition of the Clarington Promoter, which goes to every house in Clarington (33,000). 7.3 Alan Bayliss Alan was very encouraged by the energy that sees in the Board now. He felt that for us to develop our business plan, we should do our best to work with the town, as we have been isolated from them for a long time and we must improve that relationship. He had a few ideas how to do this, for example we could invite the councillors to our meetings, and Tuesday lunch etc. He also suggested that the Board meet more than once a month, and it was agreed that we will meet every two weeks, while we are in the process of forming the Business Plan. He suggested that we should include Municipal staff in some of our Business Plan discussions. 7.4 Round Table (Muriel Moynes) Muriel urged the Board members to speak up in our meetings, and reinforced the fact that we are a team, and although there are many challenges in front of us, she feels that if we work as a team, we will rise to the challenge. 8.0 Adjournment Motion to adjourn the meeting Moved by Allan Tibbles Carried Next Meeting will be Wednesday May 20thfh 2015 at 2pm Minutes of the Meeting of the Clarington Older Adult Board of Directors Wednesday May 20r'' 2015 @ 2pm Voting members Present: Norma Evans, Irene Gourlay, Muriel Moynes, Tim Funchion, Cathie Ward, Elaine Spicer, Alan Bayliss, Alan Tibbles, Barb Singleton Gary Bray and Terry Traill Non Voting Members Present: Erica Mittag, Angie Darlison Regrets: Mayor Adrian Foster and Councillor Ron Hooper 1.0 Call to order President Muriel Moynes called the meeting to order at 2pm. 2.0 Approval of the Agenda Motion to approve the agenda, with item 4.1moved to the end of the meeting.

Carried Im NEWCASTLE VILLAGE COMMUNITY HALL BOARD Meeting of the Newcastle Village Community Hall Board held on April 21, 2015 at 7 pm in the Council Chambers. Attendees: C. Abraham (chair) S. DeJong B. Carmichael S. Rogers D. Eastman W. Woo (Regional Councilor) G. Bell —secretary Regrets From: W. Partner (Local Councilor) Delegations Present: Lisa Matier, Newcastle Public School Fundraising Committee . Sean Keane, Brian Green, Greg Lewis on behalf of Masonic Lodge MINUTES 1.1 Motion by B.Carmichael, seconded by D. Eastman That the minutes of March 17 2015 are accepted as presented. "Carried" BUSINESS ARISING 2.1 Hot Water Heaters -cost to change from electric to gas is $3000.00, includes venting, piping and gas lines. Rental fee will be $40.00/tank monthly. Consider purchasing tanks: Reduce from 3 60 gallon tanks to 2 — 75 gallon tanks. Gas heats back up in about 15 minutes as opposed to electric which waits for tank to empty so it's about an hour. We presently have 4 electric hot water tanks 3 of which service the kitchen. Staff have spoken to at Water Company said this would definitely solve our problem of running out of hot water during events. Follow up with Director of Operations. Member of audience Greg Lewis, who indicated that he was there on behalf of the Masons, interjected that he had just changed to purchasing his own hot water heaters. Chair indicated that it is not appropriate for member of audience to enter into discussion with the Board on items before the Board, and Mr. Lewis disagreed. 2.2 PA system for gazebo area Motion by B. Carmichael, seconded by S. DeJong That a portable PA system be purchased for garden events not to exceed $350.00. D. Eastman will look around and report back. "CARRIED" DELEGATIONS 3.1 NVMHA — Peter Hazelton — scheduled to discuss rental on April 25 2015 for NVMHA and NPS Council. P. Hazelton sent an email at 6:48 pm to notify board that due to NPS Council cancelling their dance he would no longer be addressing the board. 3.2 Masons — Greg Lewis, Sean Keane, and Brian Green were in attendance Sean Keene addressed the board regarding the possibility of adding a lift to the second floor. He noted that in accordance with AODA compliance that this would have to be done by Municipality by 2025. They have done some homework on a lift that they feel could feasibly be installed in the ticket booth up to the second floor. Their group would possibly assist in the cost which he feels is in the neighbourhood of $30,000.00. Chair C. Abraham added that NVCH is a historically designated building which would raise concerns with changing the building. The group was not aware that this designation extended to areas on the interior of the building as well as the exterior. It was requested by the board that the Masons submit in writing the details of their request i.e. specs on the lift and where they are suggesting it would be best installed. In turn the NVCH would discuss further with the Municipality of Clarington. At this point in time there is no plan by the Municipality nor NVCH board to make the second floor accessible. B. Carmichael suggested the use of technology on a lower level to include those members that are having difficulty with the stairs at this time. Also suggested using space on the main level for their meetings rather than upstairs. The group felt that neither of these suggestions was viable for their purposes. FINANCIAL REPORT 4.1 Motion by W.

Lisa Matier attended the meeting and spoke to her issue stating fundraising at the public school is so difficult and this would be a major hit to their funds if they have to pay. Funds were being raised for technology i.e. smart boards and scientist in the class. Secretary was asked to state NVCH policy on cancellation. As stated in the contract there is no refund due to cancellation. Cancellation of an event 5 days prior to the date leaves no opportunity to rebook. Motion by W.Woo, seconded by D. Eastman That full refund is given to NPS Council. Motion did not carry. Greg Lewis (a member of the audience) interjected that he felt that NPS Council should receive preferential treatment as they are community group and not refunding would not be taken well in the community.

Affordable Housing Task Force Whereas access to adequate housing is a fundamental right of all Canadians, as guaranteed by the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights; Whereas thousands of households remain on the waiting list for social housing in Durham; Whereas seniors in Clarington and across Durham who are looking for affordable rent will be waiting at least three to four years and fewer than 19 units in 1,000 are available for rent each month; and Whereas access to good quality affordable housing has community -wide benefits related to economic competitiveness, health, education, social inclusion and strengthened communities; NOW THEREFORE IT BE RESOLVED that Durham Region and its eight area Municipalities set up a Task Force to consider the following to supplement the recommendations of "Home in Durham, the Durham Housing Plan 2014-2024": 1. Development Charge by-law amendments to include an exemption for affordable housing based on specific criteria and a housing service agreement with the Region or with the area Municipality as follows: To be eligible or an exemption or reduction of DCs, an affordable rental housing project must target low income households and provide affordable rent levels. The initial and ongoing annual affordable project rents along with the occupant maximum income by unit type are to be set and/or approved by Durham Social Services, Housing Services Division. To be considered "affordable", the initial rent setting must be consistent with any one of the following: A. The definition of "affordable rental" as provided in the Provincial Policy Statement OR B. 65% of the Average Market Rent as determined by CMHC in its latest survey of the local market OR Report #1 - 6 - June 15, 2015 C. Rent levels set in accordance with a Housing Services recognized affordable housing program (i.e. Canada/Ontario Affordable Housing Program) In addition, the property owner must have entered into a Housing Agreement with the Region of Durham, or with the local Municipality, which is registered on title and serves to ensure that the affordability terms established by the Region remain in effect. The principal intent of the Housing agreement is to indicate that in exchange for the DC exemption, the Region or area Municipality will specify rental rates and occupant income by unit type in perpetuity. It also establishes penalties & remedies should the terms of the Agreement be breached. The Housing Agreement must be executed by the applicant at the time of the property rezoning (where applicable) or prior to the project commencing construction (i.e. before building permit is issued). 2. The relaxation of architectural controls in order to encourage development of affordable housing based on the specific criteria set forth in Section 1 (A -C) above. 3. A study of affordable housing best practice models across North America, not limiting itself to the GTA and to Ontario; and That the Resolution be circulated to the area Municipalities and our Member of Provincial Parliament for endorsement and be forwarded to the Durham Region Health and Social Services Committee. 12. Request for Public Input for Trail at Tooley's Mill Park That the public be invited to provide input on the type of construction of the trail proposed commencing at Tooley's Mill Park, including, if deemed appropriate by staff, a Public Information Centre.
