Carried 5-2 Council Meeting Minutes - 3 - June 29, 2015 Presentations There were no Presentations scheduled for this meeting. Delegations Alan Tibbles, Vice-President, Clarington Older Adult Association, addressed Council concerning Item 2 of Report#1 - Report CSD-008-15 - Regarding the Older Adult Strategy Governance. Mr. Tibbles stated the COAA Board is not opposed to the option chosen by Council, will respect the decision and will support the Municipality and the Community Services Department. Mr. Tibbles briefly reviewed the COAA's Vision Business Plan which would have relied heavily on increased penetration through satellite and hub facilities throughout the municipality generating more revenue and leading to a decreased dependency on taxpayer funds. Mr. Tibbles stated the hybrid option limits the COAA in that regard but the Board still intends to reduce the municipal grant by an aggressive pursuit of provincial and federal grants and bequests, sponsorships and donations and an increased focus on fundraising activities. Mr. Tibbles hopes the Municipality will establish equal standards of performance for both COAA and Community Services with respect to membership levels, diversity of programs and governance. Mr. Tibbles summarized by stating the COAA is looking forward to a new and exciting chapter and remains committed to providing a broad and comprehensive selection of social, wellness and recreational programs and services to the older adult community. Mr. Tibbles also clarified statements made at the General Purpose and Administrative meeting of June 22, 2015, by a member of the seniors group from Courtice, regarding staffing, advertising and programming. Alan Tibbles responded to questions from Members of Council. Frederick Donald Wilkinson addressed Council concerning Item 16 of Report#1 - PSD-040-15 -Applications by Port Darlington Land Corporation to Amend the Clarington Official Plan and Zoning By-law to Permit a 234-Unit Draft Plan of Subdivision. Mr. Wilkinson referred to correspondence he submitted to the General Purpose and Administration Committee meeting of June 22, 2015, outlining three primary concerns with the development— being, that development charges would.not cover the infrastructure costs of development, that a new noise and vibration study has not been released that substantiates the development has the necessary barriers to protect the quality of life of those living in the proposed subdivisions, and that the emergency access and exit from the area is insufficient. Mr. Wilkinson feels that with the CN rail as the northern boundary and Lake Ontario as the southern boundary, it is extremely important that people living in the development be able to exit the area safely in case of an emergency and that Municipal emergency vehicles have the ability to access the area. Mr. Wilkinson expressed concern that on many occasions the Port Darlington and Bennet Road developments are blocked due to the length of the trains, leaving the Lamb's Road tunnel, which will not accommodate emergency vehicles, as the only means of access. Mr. Wilkinson referred to the exposure impact noting this type of development would require an overpass. He noted that other developments in Clarington, including the Wilmot Creek Retirement Village, have overpasses and requested that the same regulations and criteria apply to this development. 5-3 Council Meeting Minutes - 4 - June 29, 2015 Mr. Wilkinson indicated that he has party status at the Ontario Municipal Board hearing and he will continue to request that the Municipality consider a condition of development that an overpass be built at Lamb's Road. Kevin Taylor addressed Council concerning Item 16 of Report#1 PSD-040-15 - Applications by Port Darlington Land Corporation to Amend the Clarington Official Plan and Zoning By-law to Permit a 234-Unit Draft Plan of Subdivision. Mr. Taylor stated his concerns mirrored the issues raised by Mr. Wilkinson, the previous delegation, and that he had no further comments to submit.

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 arinual 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.

Carried Mayor Municipal Clerk 5-20 10 - 1 AGRICULTURAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE of CLARINGTON MEETING THURSDAY, July 9t", 2015 MEMBERS PRESENT: John Cartwright Brenda Metcalf Les Caswell Jenni Knox Ted Watson Henry Zekveld REGRETS: Tom Barrie, Elgin Greenham, Mary Ann Found, Eric Bowman, Don Rickard, Councillor Partner GUESTS: Dawnett Allen, Chris Brown — MTO Paul Ruttan, Melvin Ramcharitar, Dave Keys — Blackbird Infrastructure Consortium STAFF: Faye Langmaid, Ron Albright Brenda welcomed all to the meeting, with introductions. Adoption of Agenda 015-16 Moved by Les Caswell, seconded by John Cartwright "That the Agenda for July 9th, 2095 be adopted" CARRIED Approval of Minutes 015-17 Moved by Ted Watson, seconded by Henry Zekveld "That the minutes of the June 99th, 2095 meeting be approved" CARRIED Presentation/Discussion: Paul Ruttan introduced the Blackbird team, the Infrastructure group are responsible for design and maintenance of the highway and the Construction group are constructors, the client is Infrastructure Ontario (with MTO). This Project will cost approximately $1.2 billion, which will include design, construction and Operations, Maintenance and Rehabilitation of Highway 407 and Highway 418 for 30 years after.Phase 2A of the Project is open to traffic. This project is proceeding under Infrastructure Ontario's Design, Build Finance and Maintain model. Highway 407 and Highway 418 will be owned by the Government of Ontario. Early this week Blackbird held Public Information Centres at Solina (50 attending) and Rickard (15 attending). Their website was recently launched and is http://www.407eastphase2.ca/. You can subscribe for specific traffic and road closure alerts and other topics. Blackbird has taken over all the Phase 2 land required for construction. MTO has retained parcels that are outside of the construction zone. MTO staff will provide a map Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington July 9th, 2015 10_1 to Clarington of who is responsible for which parcels. For the most part the Ministry owned lands have been farmed through Permission To Use Agreements with the agricultural community. Schedule: By late 2017, Highway 407 from Harmony Road to Taunton Road/Highway 418 will be open to traffic (Phase 2A). By late 2019, Highway 407 and Highway 418 will be open to traffic (Phase 2B).. Farm agreements will go to the end of September this year for Phase 2A and Highway 418 area and the end of December this year for Phase 2 B (Highway 407 from Hwy 418 over to 35/115). Soil moving will begin this fall, there are some 8 million cubic meters of fill to move, attempting to balance the cut and fill. 75 structures to construct. Issues for farming community will be the way in which areas that were previously farmed will continue to be maintained, concern for areas that will be left fallow, also spread of weeds and invasive species. North/south roads; a number will be permanently closed, others will have disruptions to service during construction. The constructors will have to be cognizant of the season and the need for farmers to travel north/south not just during planting and harvesting seasons but in many cases it is on a daily basis. Farms are spread out and most cash crop farmers rent lands that are not directly adjacent to their existing operations. Some farmers also provide custom services to others for spraying, hay forage and combining. Communication will be key, there is a communications committee that will be charged with getting the message out. Also subscribing to the website will assist. Suggested that information be provided to the agricultural community newsletters such as Soil and Crop. Faye had a call from a local farmer with regard to Blackleg (see attachment 1) as a concern. Currently there is little threat of it as there have been no cases for a number of years; however with the disturbance of soil it could be a problem and in particular for organically certified farmers. There are vaccinations available however it is unclear what the affect would be on an organic certification. On properties where houses and barns have been demolished the wells that are in relation to these buildings are also to have been decommissioned. Business Arising from Minutes Trans Canada Pipeline — the timing of construction has now been pushed out to 2018; however there is some surveying and archeological work happening in advance. Correspondence, etc. AACC letter has been submitted to Clarington on Official Plan Review, circulated to members by e-mail. Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington July 91h, 2015 10-2 Request from UOIT for Capstone Projects for Business and IT applications due by August 14th Liaison Reports Durham Agriculture Advisory Committee — Nothing to report.

If a letter of support is required from committee please let Brenda know. September 26th is the date for the High School Program from Farm Connections, school this year is in Ajax, it is the 61h year of the program and provides students with an understanding of the relationship farming has to all aspects of their lives and that it is a career option. Clarington Board of Trade —The Board was pleased to see agriculture included in the economic policies of the Official Plan and has supported the policies that relate to this initiative. Other Business Grain Growers of Ontario are taking the provincial government to court over the regulations that have been introduced for Neonicotinoid Pesticides. The article in Ontario Farmer (Attachment 2) provides an overview of the issues. There was discussion on whether Ontario Soil and Crop Association should be added to the agenda as a "liaison report". Since there is no direct relationship and it is not addressed in the terms of reference it was determined that it would continue to be addressed under "other business". Future Agendas Faye has contacted SPCA and Sara Munoz is willing to attend a future meeting. Faye has made contact with OMAFRA about finding a hop grower and having a presentation. John Cartwright moved to Adjourn Next Meeting, August 20th, 7:30 p.m. Room 1C at Municipal Administrative Office — Sheila Hall, Laura Wood, CBOT and Basia Radomski, Communications — on how the Municipality and CBOT promote agriculture. Resources the Committee could contribute to (e.g. background briefing notes) that could advance this communications effort. Attachment 1 BLACKLEG Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington July 9th, 2015 10-3 Blackleg is a highly fatal disease of young cattle caused by the spore forming, rod shaped, gas producing bacteria Clostridium chauvoei. The spores of the organism can live in the soil for many years. The bacteria enters the calf by ingestion and then gains entrance to the body through small punctures in the mucous membrane of the digestive tract. Cattle that are on a high plane of nutrition, rapidly gaining weight and between 6 months and 2 years of age are most susceptible to the disease. The disease is not transmitted directly from sick animals to healthy animals by mere contact. The first sign observed is usually lameness, loss of appetite, rapid breathing and the animal is usually depressed and has a high fever. Characteristic swellings develop in the hip, shoulder, chest, back, neck or elsewhere. First the swelling-is small, hot and painful. As the disease progresses, the swelling enlarges and becomes spongy and gaseous. If you press the swelling, gas can be felt under the skin. The animal usually dies in 12 to 48 hours. In most cases the animal is found dead without being previously observed sick. The speed with which blackleg kills usually makes individual treatment useless. Blackleg is almost entirely preventable by vaccination.

Brenda Metcalf Les Caswell Jenni Knox Don Rickard Henry Zekveld Tom Barrie Eric Bowman REGRETS: Elgin Greenham, Mary Ann Found, Councillor Partner, Ted Watson GUESTS: Laura Knox- Clarington .Board of Trade (CBOT), Basia Radmonski, Communications. Municipality of Clarington (MoC) STAFF: Faye Langmaid Brenda welcomed all to the meeting, with introductions. Adoption of Agenda 015-18 Moved by Don Rickard, seconded by John Cartwright "That the Agenda for August 20th, 2015 be adopted" CARRIED Approval of Minutes 015-19 Moved by Les Caswell, seconded by John Cartwright "That the minutes of the July 9th, 2015 meeting be'approved" CARRIED Presentation/Discussion: Laura Knox provided a listing of the promotion pieces that Clarington Board of Trade and the Municipality of Clarington have with regard to agriculture (Attachment 1). Some pieces have been created for a very specific audience while others have been generated for the general public. Laura explained the various pieces that CBOT has for promotion of agriculture and responded to questions. Basia did the same for the various pieces that Clarington is responsible for. In addition, opportunities had been identified for items such as the Clarington calendar of events, tourism and how messaging can be promoted through social media such as twitter and facebook. Basia indicated that it was much better to get your message out rather than responding to a media story or negative event. As an example she discussed the 10-6 recent meetings between the Mayor and Ministers at AMO about a number of issues including protection of agricultural land, a press release had been issued and messaging on social media prior to the meeting so that residents are aware of the messages being presented to the Province. Basia stressed that it is impossible to promote what we do°not know about so if there are events such as Farm Connections (even though it is not in Clarington), Agriculture Gala, Fall Harvest Supper, Farmer's Parade of Lights get the dates into the events calendar, so that the can be promoted. Basia provided an overview of the new website a particularly handy item is the ability to subscribe to specific notices. For committee members subscribing to the road closures might be particularly helpful. Having the Ag Advisory committee in place also helps Communications, when they are asked a question by media there is a ready source of knowledgeable spokespeople to turn to. This helps with understanding an issue and getting accurate information. The familiarization tours for staff, Councillors and CBOT directors have also been a great help in having a broader understanding of the issues. Business Arising from Minutes Tour of Colborne processing facility — a part of Laura's presentation she spoke about the tour to Colborne, there have been some delivery issues with kitchen equipment, she will follow-up and let committee members know of a tour date when it is arranged. Correspondence, etc. Letter received from CLOCA about having a representative at the strategic planning session on September. 30th, Eric volunteered to attend, Brenda is alternate. Liaison.Reports Durham Agriculture Advisory Committee —Reminder about Farm Tour on Sept 18tH Durham Region Federation of Agriculture — Celebrate Agriculture is October 29th, call for nominations has-been issued and it is hoped there will be a number of applications submitted, categories are Farm Family, Leadership Award for individual aged 19-35, Spirit of Agriculture Award to an organization or company, nominations are due September 15th. If a letter of support is required from committee please let Brenda know. DRFA had hoped to apply to Trillium for a trailer but because of the new process they have not been accepted into this round of applications. They will try again. Clarington Board of Trade — Premier in town yesterday, a panel discussion with a number of local representatives, Charles Stevens brought up the discussion of including prime agriculture land in the Greenbelt. Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington August 20, 2015 10-7 CBOT is working on their next Strategic Plan for 5 years, hope to have a draft by year end for presentation to Board and as support for budget request for economic development function to Council. Other Business Article in Novae Res Urbis about the GTA West Route being planned by MTO, Caledon has objected to the weighting of agriculture which is 2.2% they are suggesting it be weighted at 20%. Many of the.comments in the article mirror what occurred to the weighting of agricultural impacts in the 407 Environmental Assessment. Faye has contacted Caledon staff to determine what support of their position would be helpful. 015-20 Moved by Eric Bowman, seconded by Henry Zekveld "That the Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington support the position of the Town of Caledon regarding agricultural impacts and that they should be weighted more significantly than they have been in the EA outline by MTO on the GTA West Corridor" CARRIED The display panel for the committee will be at Orono Fair in the Agriculture Building. Farmer's Parade of Lights permit will be obtained. UOIT is looking at providing an Agriculture Leadership Certificate Program, the questions they are asking is what sessions could be offered that the agricultural community do not already have access to and "what and how much the agricultural community would be willing to pay". Brenda suggested that a new item "did you know" come out of each meeting that committee,members then circulate to their colleagues (agriculture community contacts) to help spread the word. Future Agendas Sara Munoz of SPCA is willing to attend a future meeting, Faye is trying to confirm her for October or December meeting. Evan Elford, New Crop Development Specialist at OMAFRA has agreed to attend November 12th meeting to discuss hops.

Adoption of Minutes - Motion# 15-115 was proposed: TFIAT: The minutes of May 12, 2015 are accepted, as presented, with no changes or corrections noticed. Moved by: Gord Blaker Seconded by: Sue White CARRIED 3. Arena Manager's Report- Bryan advised and showed the committee his progress to date on the refurbishing of the rink boards. Another two -3 days was the estimated time frame for completion. Then, the rink board signs would be reinstalled. A few pieces of Lexan would require replacement for re-covering some of the signs. The board members had previously discussed the possibility of selling off some of the old plastic from the boards being replaced. However, with further inspection of the condition of the rink boards, it was decided to give them away or dispose of them ourselves. At the conclusion of the rink board repairs, Bryan had plans to take some of his vacation time. Through the week of Canada Day there was little activity taking place at the arena. He then would be back in time to look after the week-end of the Gift of Art Show in the arena—(July 11& 12, 2015). 10-9 (2) Further discussions took place on our need for a handicap area for visitors in walkers or mobile devises. Further discussions will take place this summer, as we clarify some constriction issues. The Olympia Ice Resurfacer had been picked up by the manufacturer for a few repairs and updates. Olympia will provide Bryan with a list of requirements before proceeding. We can then determine the costs and necessity of such repairs. 4. Financial Report—Accounts receivables and an income statement were provided by the chair for YTD May 31, 2015. $10,716.60 was reported as outstanding. However, collections had been received since month-end. $6,966.00 of the o/s amount was Clarington Girls Hockey and it had been collected. There were a.couple of minor concerns which necessitated a phone call. Bryan and the chair were going to follow-up on these. The income statement showed little change due to the minimal activity in the month of May. Revenue YTD was $141,040.51. The chair advised he would probably place some of the funds in our current account into a short-term GIC for the summer, once all our payment cheques had cleared. 5. Business Follow-Up—The plan to have a mission statement and rules of behavior and safety signage developed and posted was further discussed. A draft of same will be prepared for our July or August meeting for the board's final changes and// or approval for printing. 6. New Business- Concerns for the condition of the parking lot and some of the brick work on the north side of the building were discussed. Bryan would follow-up with the Municipality to have the concerned areas inspected. He will report back at our July meeting. 7. Adiournment—Motion #15-116 was proposed: THAT: The meeting is adjourned; Moved by: Gary Oliver Seconded by: Councillor Woo CARRIED 10-10 Newcastle Memorial Arena Mangge ent hoar MuntLci Minutes of Meeting— Tuesday August 11, 2015 (Not yet approved by committee) In Attendance—Gord Lee, Chair Gord Blaker, Vice Chair Carol Little, Sue White, Gary Oliver, Jay Summers, Regional Councillor Willie Woo, Councillor Partner. Absent—Shea-Lea Latchford 1. Call to Order—7:07 P.M. 2. Adoption of Minutes - Motion # 15— 117 was proposed: THAT: The minutes of Tuesday June 9th, 2015 are accepted as presented. (No meeting was held in July). Moved by: Sue White Seconded by: Jay Summers CARRIED 3. Ouenin�Conversation—The chair brought up the meeting that took place amongst councilors Woo and Partner and executive members of the NVMHA,regarding ice time at the arena. He expressed his disappointment that he was not advised or invited. Jay Summers, who was one of the attendees representing the NVMHA explained to the committee that it was not a formal meeting, but an info exchange on the current and future needs of ice in Newcastle. Regardless, of the purpose of discussion; as it concerned the arena board's inability to provide adequate ice time for the hockey league, the chair felt he should have been in attendance. Further discussion took place regarding ice time,particularly week night prime time as opposed to week-end ice. Every team in the NVMHA has week-end ice time. It is impossible to take any more Saturday or Sunday ice in Newcastle—they would have teams playing twice a day on the week-end. Jay advised the committee that ice was being purchased by their association outside the municipality and perhaps a review of ice 10-11 (2) Allocation throughout the municipality could take place. It was suggested to Jay Summers that the NVMHA should write a formal request to the arena board, advising of the current and estimated future needs of ice. Then, we could formalize a meeting with community services and/or council in an attempt to find a solution. Perhaps, week night ice may be available in other municipality arenas. In the meantime,the chair would initiate conversation with Community Services for a possible study of scheduled ice in municipality rinks. Possibly, this could result in ice revenue staying in Clarington. Jay advised he would follow-up with the NVMHA executive and suggest they initiate dialogue back to our board members. 4. Arena Manazer's Report—Brian advised he was gearing towards a September 9th start- up of the ice plant,with the ice pad to be ready for September 17th— 19th. Our ice—re- surfacer was out for service at Olympia and he had provided a list of requirements. Repairs and maintenance were quoted in the area of$2,800.00 plus transportation back to us and HST. Motion #1 5418 was proposed: THAT: Bryan proceed with the required maintenance to the Olympia. Moved by: Gord Blaker Seconded by: Carol Little CARRIED Further: Painting and maintenance to the building were being carried out with he and one part-time employee. The snack bar needed attention and Bryan was concerned with the floor area; suggesting it may be time to replace the tiles. It was suggested he acquire recommendations and pricing for a new floor. The municipality had carried out an inspection of the building and parking lot and Mr. Horvath would be getting back to our chair and Bryan with future maintenance plans. Particularly the parking lot, which needs attention. Gary Oliver offered to supervise the snack bar staff again this season. He and Bryan would be interviewing applicants for the part-time positions available. Gary,Bryan and Gord Lee would meet early in September and discuss food and specialty needs for refreshment sales and signage. Councillor Woo suggested the chair contact Sherry—Lee and Geoff from Krumbs, local bakers who also.sell in the Clarington Farmer's Market. They may be interested in providing a few specialty items to sell. Gord will follow-up. 10-12 (3) 5. Financial Deport—With our bookkeeper on vacation,no income statement or accounts receivable were provided. Bryan advise: Scott Turner had'made a payment on his outstanding ice account and the balance still owing was now at$394.00. 6. New Business— ® Jay Summers requested a rental of the arena floor area and lobby for the NVNM spring hockey registration. The ice will be out and nothing was currently scheduled for that day. ® Gord advised:Signage for the entry doors to the dressing rooms was underway and would be.completed by early September;to read— Players, Coaches and Teazel Personal Only ® Gord also provided a draft copy of the Public Slating Mules of Conduct sign to be posted in the arena. ® Motion# 15-119 was proposed: THAT: the board members approve the draft copy and proceed with getting the signs produced and placed on location—Two locations in the building were suggested and approved.

ITEMS/UPDATES Waterfront Trail Construction Project A topographic survey and field visit have been done to begin the design for the new trail route, The design is being done in-house and is behind schedule however it is expected that the design will be completed and tendered this winter for spring construction. A plan showing the proposed route will be brought to the committee for review at a future meeting. Birds of Prey Event On June 27 a demonstration of live raptors was held at the SWNA. The Ontario Falconry Centre entertained approx. 100 people in the greenspace adjacent to Toronto Street with a variety of native hawks, eagles and owls. Previous raptor presentations at the SWNA included displaying native raptors with a focus on educating the public. This year's event focused more on interaction with the audience and included flying the birds which had not been done before at the SWNA. The Newcastle Lions generously provided$500 to allow the SWNA Committee to arrange the event. A letter of thanks was mailed to the Lions in July. 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 just west of Mill Street. SWNA Committee will have a booth at the Newcastle Town Hall in the morning to promote the event. Kate Potter will e-mail a Doddle schedule for committee members to choose a time to man the booth if available. Display material for the booth will include; a map of the SWNA, a hand-out explaining the SWNA, and a display of photographs from the 2014 Photo contest. GRCA will also provide some display material for the booth. MNR Rangers On July 22 the MNR Rangers student employment program worked at the SWNA in conjunction with committee members to spread limestone screenings on the Waterfront Trail and clean-up around the snake hibernaculum. The Rangers team was enthusiastic and very productive. If they are available again in 2016 the committee would welcome them back. Carbon Farmer tree planting On June 24 the Carbon Farmer planted approx. 2000 reforestation sized native trees at the SWNA at no cost to the municipality. The company plants trees on behalf of individuals and corporations for carbon offsets. The trees will eventually create a woodland buffer between the Wilmot Community and the Lake Meadow area of the SWNA. Cool and wet weather immediately after the planting helped to establish the trees and a reasonable success rate is expected. If approached again by the Carbon Farmer the committee will consider others sites 10-21 �4NA`epleirbrr 201=,lv i utcl s 3 within the SWNA for future planting but only if it conforms to the SWNA management plan. Invasive Species site walk On July 14 GRCA Biologist Ken Towle led committee members on a walk to discuss invasive species at the SWNA. It was a very informative presentation that highlighted the prevalence of invasive species such as Himalayan Balsam, Giant Hogweed, and Wild Parsnip. Ken discussed the toxic effects of some of the invasive plants and how they are spread inadvertently though mowing operations. Mowing equipment used on one site can disperse seeds onto other sites if not cleaned properly. The committee suggested holding a similar site walk for the public in 2016 which could be promoted as an SWNA event.
