Municipality of Durham, advising Council that on June 3, 2015, the Joint
Finance & Administration Planning & Economic Development and Works
Committees of the Regional Council adopted the following resolution
pertaining to Durham Region's Response to Bill 73 — Smart Growth for our
Communities Act, 2015 — Proposed Amendments to the Development
Charges Act and Planning Act
"A) That Joint Report #2015 -J -32 be endorsed and submitted to the Ministry
of Municipal Affairs and Housing as Durham Region's response to
Environmental Bill of Rights Registry 012 -3651 regarding Bill 73, the
Smart Growth for Our Communities Act, 2015, including the following
key comments and recommendations:
Council Meeting Minutes - 8 - June 15, 2015
i) With respect to the Bill 73 proposals to amend the Development
Charges Act (DCA), the Province recognize that development
charges are the only fiscal tool available to municipalities to recover
growth- related costs and municipalities must retain the autonomy to
develop their own development charge policies in a transparent and
accountable manner, that best accommodates their own local needs
and economic realities, with specific comments as follows:
1. 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);
• 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;
Council Meeting Minutes - 9 - June 15, 2015
• 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;
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
Council Meeting Minutes _10- June 15, 2015
• 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 carl never be made worse off) which may
serve as an incentive for developers to appeal municipal
decisions;
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. That for official plan amendments that are not exempt from
Minister's approval, the ability to appeal matters related to
Provincial Plan conformity be restricted to the host municipality
only;
3. That the ability to appeal the designation of land for employment
purposes be removed from the Section 26 amendments;
4. That the 90 day time extension option for official plan amendment
decisions be extended to apply to plans of subdivision;
5. That Bill 73 be revised to provide Council with the authority to
accept or reject privately initiated amendment applications,
following the approval of a new official plan or new municipal
comprehensive review amendment for two years, without the
ability to appeal;
6. That the proposed provisions to provide Ministerial approval to
impose a Community Planning Permit System on municipalities be
removed;
7. That the Planning Act and /or Regulations be further amended to
prohibit the inclusion of legal disclaimers on supporting
documentation to planning applications that has the effect of
limiting the reliance or availability of such documentation to all
stakeholders;
8. That the Planning Act be amended to allow further input by upper -
tier municipalities on site plan applications for matters of Regional
interest, including growth management and transit; and
9. That the Planning Act be further amended to include provisions for
a process to allow municipalities to close dormant (inactive)
planning applications, as well as to withdraw planning approvals
that have remained dormant for a long period of time;
Council Meeting Minutes - 11 - June 15, 2015
B) With respect to other matters, that the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and
Housing be requested to:
i) provide details regarding the composition, funding and reporting
protocol for the proposed Development Charges and Planning
Stakeholder Working Groups and set out a transparent process to
communicate the findings of the Working Groups to municipalities;
and
ii) ensure that the Ontario Regional and Single Tier Treasurers are
represented on the Development Charges Working Group, in a
similar manner that the Regional Planning Commissioners of Ontario
will be represented on the Planning Stakeholder Working Group; and
C) That a copy of Joint Report #2015 -J -32 be forwarded to Durham's area
municipalities, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, Durham's
MPPs, and the Attorney General of Ontario."

Correspondence for Direction
D -1 D. Bowen, AMCT, Regional Clerk/Director of Legislative Services,
Regional Municipality of Durham, advising Council that on June 3,
2015, Regional Council adopted the following resolution pertaining to
Municipal Government Construction Employer Certification and
Proposed Amendments to the Labour Relations Act, 1995:
,,A) That the Province of Ontario be requested to make
amendments to the Labour Relations Act, 1995 ( "LRA "), as
necessary, to ensure that municipal public procurement
processes are open to all qualified bidders and are conducted
in a fair, open and competitive manner, by excluding
municipalities and other public sector entities from being
considered construction employers as described under the
LRA;
B) That the Region endorse the position of the Association of
Municipalities Ontario (AMO) as indicated in its March 17, 2015
correspondence to the Minister of Labour (Attachment 1) as it
relates to exclusion of municipal governments from the
construction employer provisions of the Act, which provides
Council Meeting Minutes -13-
that:
June 15, 2015
'AMO believes it is in the public interest to exclude municipal
governments from the "construction employer" provisions in
the Labour Relations Act. Municipal governments provide a
broad range of services to their communities and cannot be
said to operate a construction business or to primarily engage
in construction - related business. They should have the
autonomy to choose the most fiscally efficient firms to
undertake critical infrastructure and construction projects in
their communities. ';
C) That Report #2015 -F -42 of the Commissioner of Finance
be forwarded to the Premier of Ontario, the Minister of
Labour, local MPPs, AMO and Durham's area
Municipalities; and
D) That Durham's MPPs be asked for their support and
comments back within 6 months."
(Endorsed)
Resolution #C- 206 -15
Moved by Councillor Partner, seconded by Councillor Woo
That Correspondence Item D - 1 be approved as per the agenda.
Carried
D - 2 Katrina Miller, on behalf of Keep Hydro Public, a broad -based coalition
created to stop the sell -off of the majority of Hydro One, the provincial
electricity transmission utility; highlighting arguments against the sale;
and, requesting Council to adopt a resolution opposing the sale or partial
sale of Hydro One and to communicate that opposition to the government,
area MPPs and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario. Attached to
the correspondence was a draft resolution for Council's consideration.
Resolution #C -207 -15
Moved by Councillor Neal, seconded by Councillor Hooper
That the resolution attached to the correspondence from Katrina Miller be endorsed
in part, 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;
Council Meeting Minutes -14- June 15, 2015
Whereas experience in other jurisdictions shows that privatization typically means
consumers pay more for electricity;
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;
Now therefore be it resolved that the Municipality of Clarington call on the provincial
government to halt the sale of a majority stake of Hydro One; and
Be it further resolved that the Municipality of Clarington communicate this resolution
to the Minister of Energy and the area MPP."
Carried
D -3 D. Bowen, AMCT, Regional Clerk/Director of Legislative Services,
Regional Municipality of Durham, advising Council that on June 3,

Development and Works Committee of Regional Council adopted the

"A) That the following resolution be endorsed:
Whereas Canada remains the only G8 nation without a national

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;
Council Meeting Minutes -15- June 15, 2015
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;
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
Council Meeting Minutes -16- June 15, 2015
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."

"Whereas the Durham Region has suffered significant job losses due
to the downsizing and exit of manufacturing jobs associated with the
auto industry; and
Whereas many members of our communities have been adversely
affected by unemployment and lowered incomes due to reduced
employment opportunities that the good paying jobs of the auto
industry once provided; and
Whereas the local businesses that depend on a strong and healthy job
market to support their success in our communities have been
adversely affected by the job losses and lower paying work; and
Whereas local agencies like the United Way of Durham Region have
been put under the combined stress of reduced financial support from
people who can no longer afford to give to charities, while at the same
time experiencing increased demand for their services due to the high
levels of unemployment; and
Whereas the aggressive financial support provided to manufacturing
companies by governments in areas such as Mexico and the southern
U.S. have put extra pressure on Canadian jobs; and
Summary of Correspondence - 4 - June 29, .2015
Whereas there has been a fragmented approach to backing the
Canadian auto industry that does not include the active support of all
levels of government;
Therefore be it resolved that the municipal governments of Durham
Region and all Canadian municipalities that benefit from auto
manufacturing unite to lobby all levels of government to ensure that the
support needed to ensure these good jobs remain in our communities,
province and our country, Canada.
We must act to ensure provincial and federal governments are fully
engaged in the effort to keep these jobs in our community and are
successful."

Grants Transportation Diesel Spill
A site inspection with EFI, Clarington, GRCA and MOE was held on.April 17 to identify
any remaining concerns. Suzanne Land attended on behalf of the SWNA Committee.
An inspection of the trails revealed many areas where the trail was disturbed by vehicles
involved in the clean -up. Those areas were identified and inventoried by EFI Global.
On May 28 P. Windolf inspected the trail repairs with EFI Global and Kamstra Landscaping.
The repairs were deemed acceptable and no further action is required.
2015 Waterfront Trail Construction Project
A topographic survey and field visit have been done by Engineering Department staff to
begin the design for the new trail route. A plan showing the proposed route will be brought
to the next meeting. It is anticipated that the construction will begin in late summer for
completion in the fall.
Birds of Prey Event
The Newcastle Lions have generously provided $500 to allow the SWNA Committee to
arrange a public education event themed around Birds of Prey. Several committee members
have posted the event flyer at various locations around Newcastle. The event has also been
publicized on the Clarington web site and at community facilities. A digital version of the
event poster has be circulated and committee members are encouraged to post it or share it
as they see fit.
Taullie Thompson volunteered to build an `A' frame sign that will be used to publicize
future events at the SWNA. The sign will be placed roadside on event days to encourage
walk in traffic. P. Windolf will provide a sketch with dimensions to Taullie.
The Operations Department will be asked to provide picnic table and cut the grass in the
event space a few days prior to Saturday June 2T
Newcastle fall festival /Scavenger Hunt
The 2015 Scavenger Hunt has been scheduled for October 3 at 11:30 AM in conjunction
with the Newcastle Fall Festival. The Scavenger Hunt will be held along the Lions Trail to
hopefully attract more people. The SWNA committee will have a booth at the Newcastle
Town Hall in the morning to promote the event. P. Windolf will check the availability of a
Clarington tent for use by the SWNA committee.
MNR Rangers
The MNR Rangers, a student employment program, have previously worked at the SWNA
for a number of years. In 2015 the MNR is offering the Rangers at no cost to municipalities
who have use them in the past. The Rangers will be available at the SWNA for two days but
SANA June 2013 ? iinuies
their exact schedule is not known at this time. The committee discussed the type of work
that they could do this year. Burdock removal, clearing vegetation from the Snake
Hibernaculum, and relocating a woodchip trail were suggested. The committee's preference
is early summer so the MNR will be asked to confirm available dates.
Carbon Farmer tree planting proposal
The municipality was contacted by a private company called the Carbon Farmer in April
2014 about the possibility of planting trees at the SWNA. The company plants trees on
behalf of individuals and corporations for carbon offsets. They plant small re- forestation size
native trees. The committee previously agreed that creating a buffer of trees between the
Wilmot Community and the Lake Meadow would be a good addition to the SWNA.
The Carbon Farmer was provided a list of native trees that would be acceptable at the
SWNA and they are scheduled to plant on June 22 and 23.
Summer Meeting Schedule
The committee usually meets in either July or August during the summer. The next meeting
will be on -site and will be scheduled around the availability of GRCA Biologist Ken Towle
who will be asked to lead a walk and discuss relevant issues such as invasive species and the
wetland monitoring project. P.Windolf will contact Ken Towle for his availability in July or

Presentation: Proposed Official Plan (changes from current Official Plan)
Nicole and Faye provided a detailed presentation on the Official Plan. The presentation
was in two parts,. the first included an overview of the process to date and the
foundation of the Official Plan being sustainability and community input. Then Faye
reviewed how the Natural Heritage System is mapped, the mapping comes from the
Conservation Authorities and Province and aerial photography of the Municipality. The
mapping more accurately. defines the features compared to the previous Official Plan
due to technological improvements. Faye compared the Environmental Protection land
use changes from the 1996 Official Plan to the proposed Official Plan, the area that is
being shown has increased on the maps but when reviewed against the policies we are
just now showing what the policies already said with more accuracy and the 30 metre
buffer to ensure setbacks for any development applications.
Faye reviewed the change from "General Agriculture and Green Space" to "Rural" in� the
proposed. Definitions have been updated and some new definitions added. Rural
Settlements are very limited in any expansion, Minor - rounding out are recommended in
Maple Grove, Hampton, Kendal, Leskard, and Solina. No new country residential
subdivisions (estate residential) or Rural Clusters are allowed. Minor landscape
industry uses to be allowed and major recreation by zoning amendments.
Please have a look at all proposed changes and provide comments.
Nicole provided an overview of the population and household forecasts in context with
historical new housing unit construction trends on an annual basis. She reviewed the
changes proposed to each of the Urban area land use designations, the addition of
residential lands in Courtice and Wilmot Creek and industrial in Orono. The addition of
commercial areas and corridors.
Nicole presented what intensification means in the relation to the Places to Grow
legislation, the difference between Greenfield and Built -up areas and the minimum
targets we have to meet for both areas and the policies that underpin how this will be
achieved. Development phasing and growth management policies are key to ensuring
these goals can be achieved over the next 20 years.
Finally, we discussed the Trails Vision and Next Steps in the review.process.

Comments on the Official Plan review will be formulated from the discussion. It was
determined that major points would be, emphasized. Overall the committee feels that
there is a strong focus on protection of agricultural lands and this is only possible if the

Delegations and Presentations
Enfield United Church— A. DeVries addressed the committee with regards to Enfield
United Church, 1640 Concession Road 9 which is a designated building currently listed
for sale. The designation by -law identifies many elements of the building that

current home, the old Leskard Schoolhouse, and the renovations they undertook on that
property. As it would be converted to a dwelling they would be looking to amend the
designation by -law to allow them to upgrade some materials and renovate or remove

to Council. The process is similar to that undertaken for the Thorne's at 210 King Street
in Newcastle.

That Item 11 of Report #1 — Affordable Housing Task Force, be tabled to the next
Council meeting.
Carried
11. 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
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.

the Municipality has held discussions with other levels of government to have
commuter train service extended into Clarington; suggesting that a commuter
train station in Clarington would give options to people who travel into
Toronto to work, would alleviate traffic and parking issues at other Durham
GO transit commuter lots and could be of benefit to companies considering
locating in Clarington by providing their employees with another option on
how to get to work.

Report CSD -009-15

Report Overview
The Community Services Department is seeking approval to lease roof -top space for the
purposes of construction and operation of roof -top solar systems.
1. Background
In Report CSD -011-14 staff identified that the Province of Ontario's Green Energy Act
has provided municipalities with a better understanding of their energy consumption,
greenhouse gas emissions and renewable energy opportunities. As a shareholder in
Veridian Connections, the Municipality has ongoing discussions on a variety of related
programs.
As part of these discussions, Veridian approached the Municipality seeking Ciarington's
intent to partner in a project that would see roof -mounted solar panels installed on
various municipal facilities through the former Ontario Power Authority (OPA) Feed -in -
Tariff (FIT) program, now administered by the Independent Electricity System Operator
(IESO.)
On June 30, 2014 Council resolved "That staff be authorized to negotiate with Veridian
Connections and their partner Solera Sustainable Energies Company."
Subsequently, structural investigations were completed on all municipal recreation
facilities and it was determined that the Newcastle & District Recreation Complex,
Bowmanville Indoor Soccer and South Courtice Arena were suitable to host these
projects.
To facilitate the FIT application, staff is recommending Council's authorization to enter
into a lease agreement for the specific facilities.
2. Project Details
Subject to Council agreeing to enter into roof -top leases, Veridian Connections and
Solera Sustainable Energies Company will be submitting to the IESO individual project
applications for the three roof -top solar systems. Although not confirmed at this time, it is
anticipated that the window for accepting FIT applications will open in early July for a two
to three week time period. As the opportunity to apply is very short and the applications
are time stamped when received it is their intention to have all required documentation
ready to submit immediately after the application window opens.
The three proposed projects are;
South Courtice Arena — 340 kWp solar array located on the roof of arena pad B.

Report CSD -009-15
Page 3
Newcastle & District Recreation Complex — 233 kWp solar arrays located on the roof of
both the swimming pool and the gymnasium.
Bowmanville Indoor Soccer — 175 kWp solar array located on the roof of the indoor field.
3. Financial Considerations
The proposed roof -top lease agreement will generate for the Municipality a minimum
total revenue of $300,000.00 over the twenty year term of the lease.
4. Concurrence
This report has been reviewed by Andrew Allison, Municipal Solicitor and Nancy Taylor,
Director of Finance who concur with the recommendations.
5. Conclusion
It is respectfully recommended that the necessary recommendations be approved and
that staff provide all necessary documentation to Veridian Connections for the FIT
applications.
6. Strategic Plan Application
The recommendations contained in this report conform to the Strategic Plan.
