serious health and safety concern and in some cases, can lead to death; and

installed carbon monoxide alarms in various City-owned buildings, including the
Robert McLaughlin Gallery; and
Whereas the Ontario Building Code and Ontario Fire Code currently only require
carbon monoxide alarms to be installed in limited buildings such as residential
occupancies; and

Code to require the installation of carbon monoxide alarms in all public assembly
occupancies (e.g. auditoriums, childcare facilities, clubs and community halls);
Therefore be it resolved:

20.1 Carbon Monoxide
Resolution #GG-030-15
Moved by Councillor Woo, seconded by Councillor Partner
Whereas carbon monoxide is commonly referred to as a silent killer and it is a serious
health and safety concern and in some cases, can lead to death;
Whereas on December 24th, 2013 during the ice storm, 2 Newcastle residents succumb
to carbon monoxide poisoning after running a gas powered generator in the garage of
their home;
Whereas Oxford MPP Ernie Hardeman introduced Bill 77, or the Hawkins-Gignac Act,
as a private member's bill in 2008, which was passed in the Fall Of 2014 sifting of the
Ontario Legislature making carbon monoxide warning devices mandatory in all Ontario
homes;
Whereas the Ontario Building Code and Ontario Fire Code currently only require carbon
monoxide alarms to be installed in limited buildings such as residential occupancies;
Whereas it is important to amend the Ontario Building Code and Ontario Fire code to
require the installation of carbon monoxide alarms in all public assembly occupancies
(e.g. auditoriums, childcare facilities, clubs and community halls);
Therefore be it resolved that the Province of Ontario be requested to review and amend
the Ontario Building Code and Ontario Fire Code to also require the installation of
carbon monoxide alarms in public assembly occupancies and other additional
occupancies that may be appropriate;
That the Province of Ontario be requested to consult with the Office of the Ontario Fire
Marshall and Emergency Management , the Toronto Area Chief Building Officials
Committee (TACBOC) and the Large Municipalities Chief building Officials group
(LMCBO) on changes to the Ontario Fire Code and Ontario Building Code requiring the
installation of carbon monoxide alarms in additional building occupancies; and

20.2 Greater Toronto Area West Transportation Corridor Environmental Assessment
Study Stage 2: Review of Detailed Assessment Criteria
Resolution #GG-031-15
Moved by Councillor Partner, seconded by Councillor Traill
Whereas the Town of Caledon as part of their comments on the Greater Toronto Area
(GTA) West Transportation Corridor Environmental Assessment (EA) Study Stage 2:
Review of Detailed Assessment Criteria have requested that "agricultural impacts" be
weighted more significantly in its evaluation factors;
Whereas the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) Environmental Assessment criteria
evaluates agricultural impacts as a sub-category of land use and social economic
activity with a maximum weight of 2.2 %;
Whereas the Town of Caledon staff have carried out an extensive review of the routes
and applied a 20% weighting to agricultural impacts that would shift the GTA West
Corridor, (a future provincial by-pass highway around the west end of Toronto) such that
it would have less impact on agricultural lands and the viability of farms;
Whereas, the Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington at their meeting of
August 20, 2015 passed the following resolution:
"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."
Now therefore be it resolved that the Municipality of Clarington support the Town of
Caledon request to the Ministry of Transportation, as outlined in Caledon's Staff Report
DP-2015-060 (dated August 11, 2015), to consider "Agricultural Impact" as an additional
and equally weighted category (at 20%) in its evaluation factors for the GTA West
Corridor Study and that such weighting be applied to future EA's that affect prime
agricultural lands; and

members need to fulfill duties and obligations in order for the COAA to be a success into the future. It was
further discussed that what changes will need to be made moving forward in regards to the board
structure,and our upcoming Annual General Meeting that will need to be planned for late February.
7.2 Change to existing By-Laws

troublemakers and those who would wish to spoil the enjoyment of other members by their behaviour:

4.1.1 Draft Agreement
Alan T handed out copies of the Draft Agreement that Andy Allison.
prepared for us. However it should be noted that the rest of the
MunicipalCommittee have had no chance to have any input into
this document as they have either been on vacation or on sick
leave. Alan reported that at the meeting we had with Andy there
was a lot of discussion on the Non-Competition clause #18. Our
suggestion was to delete this clause and substitute a new clause. If
all outside activities were halted we would need $100,000 more to
operate our business. We told Andy that we would not be able to
I=
continue if this was indeed the case. Andy and Nancy agreed with
us but we need Joe to agree to this new clause. If he does not
then we would have to go to Council in September. We also
wanted clause #20 deleted, as we have a problem with space
and parking at the Beech Centre, we would like to rent outside
spaces ie.Trinity and St. Paul's churches for some of our activities.
This clause also would mean that we would have to go to Council
everytime we wanted to run a program outside the Beech Centre.
There was a lot of discussion at the meeting on the above two
items. Cathie felt that the council believes that we can carry on
and wants us to succeed. Ron felt that when the draft agreement
goes to the council members these questions will be resolved. All
the board members were asked to treat the Draft Agreement as
Confidential.

Dear Colleagues,
Like you, I have been deeply affected by the disturbing images and stark realities of
the Syrian refugee crisis. It is a situation that cries out for compassion and action.
AMO is challenging all of its member municipalities to donate at least $100 to aid in
the international effort to resettle the Syrian refugees in safe countries..We hope to
raise at least $40,000. This goal will help save two.families and if we raise a greater
amount, we can help save more families.
Donations can be made by cheque payable to Association of Municipalities of
Ontario, with"Syrian Refugee Crisis" in the description field, and forwarded by
Friday, October 2.
AMO will donate all of the proceeds to Lifeline Syria. This organization is seeking to
resettle and integrate 1,000 Syrian refugees in Ontario over the next two years,
reuniting them with their families. Lifeline Syria is a community-based initiative that
will do this by helping to recruit, train, and match private refugee sponsors in Ontario
with Syrian refugees approved for resettlement by the federal government. Sponsors
will include organizations, individuals, or groups of individuals such as faith-based
groups. The Ontario government has provided seed funding to Lifeline Syria to
support its work but it is reliant on public donations to fulfill its mandate. More
information about the organization and the initiative is found on the Lifeline Syria
website.
I know how municipal governments in Ontario rally to help one another and their
neighbours. I implore you to accept this challenge and donate to this worthy cause. It
is one small way we can help ease the suffering of others through our financial
contributions.
Sincerely
Gary McNamara
President, AMO

Comments on the 407 Hwy Design and Construction(Report#1,Phase 2)of the East Link—Hwy 416
(D1b&D2 sections)for Council Direction, Province representatives and Blackbird Constructions
In spite of all concerns about the area's sensitivity of Black Creek in Courtice, Clarington,the Hwy 418 construction
is going ahead,even without any mitigation of very serious impacts on the groundwater,surface water,
provincially significant wetlands,wildlife linkages and social,economic and financial impacts on the residents.
Example of CLOCXs concerns:

The main concerns are listed below and hopefully,Council and Province will take some steps to lessen the above
mentioned impact by their actions and directions to the Blackbird Construction. Recommendations that should be
taken are:
1. Wildlife habitat for all and especially Species of Risk should be recreated within this watershed;buffers
along highway and wetlands should be applied;groundwater flow,its quality and quantity should be
retained(we are not sure how this can be done since the big pile of dirt for the highway will cover most of
the recharge;the only way would be to continue with elevated structure from Solina Rd. bridge to Nash
Rd,bridge-See the Map:
9-5
2. Decommissioning of Contaminated site should be done prior to construction-see the above red dotted
line pointing to the site. Many ponds,wetland photo below and MOE letters)

3. Only one-lane,no exit,potholed Hancock Rd.with its damaged bridge should not be used by the
construction vehicles-see the structural damage below on photo:
Construction vehicles could be used only in case if this Road and bridge would be rebuilt by the Province
prior to the construction;developers of the Hancock Neighbourhood should pitch in financially according
to the Conditions of Subdivision and the OMB decision where these conditions were approved.
4. Removal of the invasive Common reed(Phragmites australis)along Hwy 2/Hancock Rd.,Taunton/Rundle
and other future 407 interchanges should be removed prior to construction.
AECOM in their reply dated August 12,2015 to my comments on the Hwy 401 EA Design Study are
recommending that the soil from vegetation communities containing Common reed should not be
transported or used in adjacent areas and that the Landscape Plan.should be developed for this purpose
and for the revegetation of surrounding areas of 401 Hwy.
I am respectfully asking our Council and the Province to give 4 directions to Blackbird Construction on
how to proceed with their assignment.Also,the Landscape Plan for the points 1,2,4 and for the
replacement of forests/wetlands/trees removed by the Hwy 407 should be required by the Council.

Subject: Ms. Racansky the email below is in response to your comments regarding the Design and Construction Report
#1 for Highway 407 East Phase 2
Dear Ms. Racansky:
Thank you for your email with comments on the Design and Construction Report (DCR) # 1 for the
Highway 407 East Project - Phase 2. 1 have been asked to respond on behalf of the Minister of
Transportation.
Blackbird Infrastructure 407 General Partnership (BBI) prepared DCR#1 as part of their contract to
design, build, finance, and maintain Highway 407 East Project - Phase 2. 1 understand they have
responded directly to each of your questions; however, I would like to provide the following as
additional information.
The 407 East Environmental Assessment and associated Preliminary Design noted several highway
crossings.within the Black Creek area. These include bridges and culverts that are large enough to
accommodate the movement of white-tail deer as well as fencing that will be installed to channel
wildlife to these crossings. These commitments, as well as other commitments to ensure safe wildlife
passage across the corridor, have been included in the Province's contract with BBI:
Other environmental commitments included in the contract with BBI include replacing forest and
wetland at a minimum ratio of 1:1, carrying out extensive surface water and groundwater monitoring,
as well as a requirement to manage invasive species, including common reed. Detailed vegetation
restoration plans for the Highway 407 East Project in Clarington will be developed by BBI. They will
ensure that non-invasive plant species are established and active management of invasive plants is
carried out where required. BBI will provide further detail on these efforts as they move through the
design process.
9-7
Currently, BBI anticipates four additional Design and Construction Reports being completed as part
of the detailed design.process. Within DCR # 1, BBI has noted that they expect Vegetation
Restoration Plans and Landscape Plans to be included as part of DCR#4, and DCR #5. These
documents are planned for public review in late fall 2016 and early winter 2017 respectively. As part
of this process, BBI will continue to hold public information centres to ensure members of the public
can review and discuss the design details with BBI.
With respect to contaminated properties, all of the required work within the Phase 2 Highway 407
East Project transport ation corridor will be completed by BBI., This will include the management of
any excess material that is deemed unsuitable for construction of the highway. Please note that only
part of-the property at 3242 Solina Road was acquired by MTO. Any contaminated material outside
of the portion acquired by MTO remains the responsibility of the landowner.
Should you require any additional information regarding the Highway 407 East Project— Phase 2;
please do not hesitate to contact Chris Brown by telephone at (416) 235-3494 or email at
Chris.Brown2(a-ontario.ca. Thank you for writing to share your concerns about the Highway 407 East
Project.

Dear Ms. Racansky:
Fie: Comments on the Design and Construction Report#1 for Highway 407 East Phase 2
Thank you for your email received on September 9, 2015 regarding Design and Construction Report
(DCR)#1 which documents the Detailed Design for a portion of the Highway 407 East Phase 2 project.
Blackbird has reviewed your comments and we provide the following response:
1) Wildlife habitat—Blackbird recognizes that several Species at Risk, as well as wildlife, are
present within the Project Lands. Requirements for Bobolink and Eastern Meadowlark
compensation measures,as per Endangered Species Act, 2007 Permit#AU-C-016-13, include
habitat creation.
Groundwater—Pre-construction baseline groundwater monitoring was completed by MTO.
Blackbird will be undertaking"during-construction"groundwater monitoring activities and will
follow similar methods,schedules and locations as the "pre-construction" monitoring program
completed by MTO."Post-construction"groundwater monitoring will also be undertaken to
observe long-term groundwater conditions.
2) Contaminated sites—Blackbird notes your concerns relative to the reports of contamination on
the property.A portion of this property is privately owned and is outside the Project Lands for
the highway project.As such, Blackbird is not in a position to undertake work throughout this
entire property. Where excess material is deemed not suitable for use of construction of the
highway, it will be managed in accordance with Ontario Regulation 347.
3) Hancock Road bridge—The condition of the bridge is of concern for heavy vehicles. Blackbird
will comply with weight limit requirements from the Municipality of Clarington.
4) Common reed—Blackbird is aware that invasive species such as common reed have been noted
.within the Project Lands. MTO has prepared Information Sheets for Invasive Species Control and
Blackbird will implement suitable, species-specific management of invasive species to mitigate
their spread within the Project Lands.We are planning to address the Vegetation Restoration
and Landscape Plans in a future DCR, most likely in the Fall/Winter of 2016.
We are planning to address the Detailed Design for the portion of the highway around Hancock Road/
Nash Road (Segment D1b) in the next DCR.The next Public Information Centre(PIC) is planned for the
Highway 407 East "c. :a Page 1 of 2

Report CSD-011-15
Report Overview
K
The Municipality of Clarington supports various initiatives throughout Clarington that benefit our
residents. The 2015 Community Grant requests were considered by Council earlier this year.
A request for reconsideration has been received from Home Base Durham. They received
$1,000.00 and are requesting reconsideration of their grant amount. In 2013 and again in 2014,
Home Base Durham received a Community Grant for $2,500.00.
1 . Background
On April 27, 2015 Report CSD-004-15, 2015 Community Grant Requests was approved
by Council. At that time, $52,000.00 was allocated to 33 community groups, leaving a
balance of$8,000.00 still available in the 2015 Community Grant Program.
On September 8, 2015, Council considered a supplementary request from Vincent
Massey Public School Parent Council which was approved for $2,000 on September 21,
2015.
Home Base Durham submitted an application through the 2015 Community Grant
Program with a request for funding of$3,800.00. In 2013 and again in 2014, Home Base
Durham received a Community Grant of$2,500.00. In 2015, this organization was
awarded $1,000.00.
On August 10, 2015, Home Base Durham submitted a letter for a request of
reconsideration of their Community Grant award (Attachment 1). They would like to be
reconsidered for an additional $1,500.00 which would match their award from the
previous two years ($2,500).
There is currently $6,000.00 remaining in the Community Grant Program.
2. Proposal
Home Base Durham provides arts, recreation and social programs for adults with autism
to participate in, alongside their parents / caregivers in Clarington. These programs are
important for families who can be isolated due to the behavioural, communication and
sometimes cognitive challenges faced by the adult with autism in the family.
The gym and swim program is offered in partnership with the Community Services
Department at the Newcastle & District Recreation Complex. The estimated annual
expense for pool time associated with this program is $1,600.00. In addition to liability
insurance at $1,800.00 per year, the group faces additional operating expenses
throughout the year.

Municipality of Clarington
Re: Request for Reconsideration of Community Grant
Dear Mayor, Council and Community-Grant Committee,
Home Base Durham provides arts, recreation and social programs for Adults
with Autism to participate in, alongside their parents/caregivers in Clarington.
This year we received $1,000.
The gym, swim, art and music
programs are important lifelines
for families who are incredibly
isolated due to the behavioural,
communication and sometimes
cognitive challenges faced by the
adult with autism in the family.
In 2013 and again in 2014 we
received a community grant for
$2,500.
I am writing to request reconsideration. In the hope for continued support at
the $2,500 level.
Leveraging the Municipality's commitment, each year your support has been
matched by gifts from the Baagwating Community Association, the Hayball
Foundation, Corporate Donors, and individual friends, family and neighbors
Our member families pay an annual fee and help with fundraising through an
annual appeal to their friends and families.
In spite of the subsidized use of the Newcastle Rec Centre's half gym and our
participation in the designated special needs pool time, this year we will have
paid the municipality approx. $1,600 in fees.
14-4
In addition the liability
insurance required for
rental/use of Municipal
venues, is an expense of
$1,800 per year.

We simply cannot grow or maintain our programming if our
funding falls below current.levels.
Going forward we hope to expand our membership and service offerings. We
are in discussion with Ontario Trillium Foundation for seed funding for a new
Work and Volunteer Employment (WAVE) initiative modelled after a successful
start-up program in Dovercourt near Ottawa. We will be visiting their
program in September and (pending OTF funding) hope to develop
individualized placements for our members in addition to our current
recreational and social offerings.
We realize the municipality doesn't have the resources to provide specific
specialized programming to our members. And appreciate the attitudes and
efforts of staff to accommodate our programs at the Newcastle Rec Centre.
We subscribe fully to Clarington's commitment to accessible recreation. As
parents and caregivers, we've spent our lives creating opportunities for our
adult children to live full, well-rounded lives.
Although we're relatively new (since 2013) and our membership is still small at
28, we hope you agree and believe as we do that the lives.of these individual
and families are worthy of your support.

If additional Community Grants funding is
available in 2015, please consider
maintaining your past level of support—with
an additional allocation of$1,500.
We are proud to continue to recognize your
gift through our social media, website and
print collateral materials.
Thank you,

Report Overview
Page 2
The Municipality of Clarington supports a variety of local events and activities through the
sponsorship program. A sponsorship request was received from Beyond Balance for their
upcoming health, wellness and beauty event. They are requesting $1,500 as a sponsor of the
event. A report to Council has been prepared to provide further background information in
order to enable Council to make a more informed decision.
1 . Background
On April 20, 2015, Council considered eight (8) sponsorship requests as part of the 2015
Community Grant process.
Previously, sponsorship requests were received and processed by staff with limited
involvement by Council. Currently, a formalized sponsorship program is being
developed by staff for approval by Council.
Until such time as a formal procedure is in place, sponsorship requests are received by
staff throughout the year. As they are received, requests are summarized and forwarded
by memo to Council for their consideration.
Should Council have any questions or request any further information about a particular
request, staff will prepare a report to Council to provide them with more detailed
information. Staff was asked to have this request provided'to Council through this report.
In 2015, Council has received and reviewed 25 sponsorship applications with $29,580.10
approved to date for a variety of community events and activities.

Municipality of Clarington
Report CLD-018-15
Report Overview
Paae 2
The Municipality has a number of private security companies and a very few individuals who
have been appointed to enforce parking regulations on their own property. This report is
intended to provide background on the circumstances surrounding the appointment of
Dominick Forsellino and the reasons for requesting the revocation of that appointment.
1 . Background
In late 2008, Staff began receiving complaints concerning the parking situation at 98 King
Street West Bowmanville. This is a commercial property owned by Angelina and
Dominick Forsellino. The property contains approximately 35 parking spaces. Mr.
Forsellino had called the Municipality on several occasions to report vehicles parked on
his property without his permission. These vehicles were often merchants and customers
from the surrounding area, including the flower shop to the east of his property, which
shares a small portion of the parking lot with him.
A similar concern was been raised by the owner of 191 Church Street, Bowmanville, the
property directly behind 98 King Street West. Both properties share the driveway and
parking lot facilities.
Rather than continue to rely on the Parking Enforcement Officers to respond to his
complaints, Mr. Forsellino had requested that he be appointed as a Parking
Enforcement Officer to attend to the parking concerns on his own lot and that of 191
Church Street. The owner submitted a letter stating that Mr. Forsellino had her
permission to ticket vehicles in her parking lot.
Mr. Forsellino submitted the required paperwork and was appointed a Private Property
Parking Officer for both properties by By-law 2010-032.
4. viscu5siull
Staff routinely receive requests from private property owners to appoint security
companies to enforce parking on their properties, such as commercial plazas,
condominiums and apartment buildings, however it is rare for a property owner to ask for
the authority to do the work themselves. The precedent for this was set in 2007, when
Council granted permission to the owners of the property located at 234 King Street East
to enforce their own parking lot. Since that time there have no reported problems or
concerns with the enforcement of 234 King Street East.
Unlike that experience, the situation at 98 King Street West has been marked with
complaints and concerns from citizens regarding the ticketing process. Concerns had
been raised by the merchant located directly east of the property as this directly affected
her customers' and her ability to receive, and make, deliveries for her flower business.
15-2
Municipality of Clarington
Report CLD-018-15
e3
The two properties appear to share 98 King Street's parking lot and as a result there have
been complaints that trucks delivering to the neighbour's business have been ticketed
while loading and unloading for the shop. Staff spent time with Mr. Forsellino instructing
him on the legal requirements for tickets and reviewing incidents where tickets had to be
cancelled.
In July, 2013 the ownership of 191 Church Street changed hands and the previous
agreement for ticketing on that property was voided.
Since January 1, 2014, Mr. Forsellino has issued a total of nine parking tickets. Of these,
only one has resulted in a fine being paid. The others were cancelled or voided for a
number of reasons, including errors on the ticket and insufficient grounds to support a
conviction. The last ticket issued by Mr. Forsellino was on August 18, 2014.
The lack of any further tickets or complaints would indicate to Staff that the situation
which gave rise to the need to issue parking tickets may have resolved itself and there is
no further need for Mr. Forsellino to be empowered to act as a Parking Enforcement
Officer.
3. Concurrence
Not Applicable
4. Conclusion
Staff are of the opinion that it is no longer necessary to continue Mr. Forsellino's
appointment and recommending that it be rescinded.

Municipality of Clarington
Report COD-021-15 Page 2
Report Overview
To request authorization from Council to enter into a lease agreement for the lease of Baseline
Community Centre.
1. Background
Request for Proposal 2015-9 was issued for interested parties to submit proposals for the
lease of approximately 4,593 square feet of space at the Baseline Community Centre, 2444
Baseline Road, Bowmanville, Ontario as per the terms of reference provided by the
Municipality of Clarington's Operations Department.
The Request for Proposal (RFP) was advertised electronically on the Municipality's
website as well as on the Ontario Public Buyers Association's website.
One (1) company downloaded the RFP document. One (1) submission was received in
response to the RFP and was deemed compliant.
2. Analysis
The RFP was structured as a "two-envelope" model with each submission including a
detailed Technical Proposal (Envelope 1) and a sealed separate envelope with a Pricing
Proposal (Envelope 2). The selection process stipulated that the envelopes containing
the pricing information would not be opened until the evaluation of the Technical
Proposals had been completed.
As stipulated within the RFP document, proponents were evaluated based on the
following criteria:
• Type and History of Firm
• Firm's Knowledge of Clarington and Durham Region
• Understanding of the RFP and Proposed Solution
• Identification of Accessibility design, Features and Criteria
• Compliance & Completeness
• Costing/Pricing
In addition to the above evaluation criteria, the RFP documents stipulated that the vendor
selection would be made on the basis of reference checks and a presentation if required.
The RFP document further stated that St Mary's Cement Inc. has the right to use and
occupy a portion (electrical room at the south east end of the building) of the Baseline
Community Centre in connection with the installation, operation and maintenance of a
seismograph.

Report COD-021-15 Page 3
As a requirement of the lease arrangements the successful proponent (Lessee) will be
responsible for the following:
• The cost of all utilities will be the responsibility of the Lessee
• The cost of the disposal of garbage will be the responsibility of the Lessee
• Disposal of Hazardous Materials, including bio-medical wastes will be the
responsibility of the Lessee
• Parking available on site and will be included in the cost
• All Municipal and Regional Property Taxes and Educational Levies (where
applicable) will be the responsibility of the Lessee and will be payable to the
Municipality when due
• The cost of all leasehold improvements will be the responsibility of the Lessee,
however, all proposed leasehold improvements will require prior approval by the
Director of Operations or his designate
• The cost of telephone service and all associated wiring costs for telephone will be
at the Lessee's expense
The only submission received was reviewed by the Municipality's evaluation team
consisting of staff from the Operations Department, Finance Department and the
Purchasing Division.
The evaluation committee reviewed and scored the proposal in accordance with the
established evaluation criteria and based on the evaluation ranking, Community Living
Oshawa / Clarington met the evaluation threshold and was shortlisted to move forward in
the process.
A primary concern for the evaluation committee was that the firm understood the scope of
work requirements and that the firm's principles align with those of the Municipality.
It was mutually agreed that a reference check was not necessary as Community Living
Oshawa / Clarington is presently in a lease arrangement with the Municipality.
It was also agreed that a presentation was not necessary, however, the evaluation
committee opted to invite members of the Community Living Oshawa / Clarington team to
a pre-award meeting to discuss potential partnerships with other organizations.
Community Living Oshawa /Clarington advised that they are willing, where feasible, to
explore potential partnerships with other organizations and work with and develop
strategic alliances that will be beneficial to their program and to the community.
It should be noted that entering into a lease arrangement is addressed under By-law
2011-11 and gives the CAO or designate the authority to enter into a lease agreement if
the consideration does not exceed $10,000. Because the consideration for the leasehold
interest in this case is over the $10,000 threshold, Council's approval is required.

5. Conclusion

the Municipal Solicitor, being the only proposal received and meeting all terms,
conditions and specifications of RFP2015-9 for the space at the Baseline Community
Centre.

Municipality of Clarington
Report FND-015-15
Report Overview
Page 2
The purpose of this report is to obtain Council authorization for cancellation, reduction,
apportionments or refunds of taxes pursuant to the applicable sections of the Municipal Act.
1 .0 Background
1.1 Pursuant to Sections 354, 356, 357 and 358 of the Municipal Act, 2001, C25, a list of
applications for cancellation, reduction, apportionments or refund of taxes is presented
to Committee for its review and approval.
1.2 Section 357 (3 & 4) indicates that the Council shall hear and dispose of every
application not later than the 30th day of April in the year following the year in respect of
which the application is made. The last day for making application for the previous
year's tax reduction is the 28th day of February in the following year.
1.3 More specifically, under Section 354, the Treasurer shall recommend to Council that
outstanding taxes be stricken from the roll. To strike taxes from the roll it must be by
reason of a decision under Section 357 or 358, or of a decision of a judge of any court
that the taxes are uncollectable.
1.4 An application for a cancellation, reduction or refund may be made for one of the
following reasons:
• Ceased to be liable to be taxed at rate it was;
• Real property becomes exempt;
• Razed by fire, demolition or otherwise;
• Damaged by fire, demolition or otherwise (substantially unusable);
• Removal of a mobile unit;
• Sickness or extreme poverty;
• Gross or manifest clerical error; and
• Repairs/renovations preventing normal use of period of 3 months.
1.5 The 357 and the 358 process begins when an application is prepared by either the
Regional Assessment Office or the Tax Department. The neighbourhood assessor will
perform an on-site inspection of the property. The assessor will verify the reason for the
application, the period of time for which the tax relief is claimed, and the amount and type
17-2
Municipality of Clarington
Report FND-015-15
Page 3
of assessment that is affected. The application is then sent back to the Tax Department
where the actual tax adjustment is calculated and the taxpayer's account adjusted.
1.6 Section 356, deals with severances or divisions into parcels. These parcels of land were
taxed in blocks in the year(s) prior to severance/consolidation. Taxes are being
apportioned to the individual properties which are now severed/consolidated. Therefore,
tax amounts are removed from one roll number and applied to another roll number as
determined by MPAC.
2.0 Concurrence - Not applicable
3.0 Conclusion
The total amount of taxes to be written off for January 1 to August 31, 2015 as shown in this
report total $15,627.43. The total for the 2014 calendar year was $162,694.90. This total
represents the Municipality's share only. For comparison, the values of taxes written off under
Section 357 and 358 at August 31, 2014 was $149,022.38 for the municipal portion only.

Municipal Government Support for Continued Auto
Production of General Motors in Durham Region
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
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 immediately to ensure provincial and federal governments
are fully engaged in the effort to keep these jobs in our community.

Assembly output has bounced back from the 2009 low
point and stabilized.
Strong U.S. demand has helped.
But Canadian production is not sharing in the overall
North American market ŭğźƓƭ experienced since 2011.
ƭŷğƩĻ of total North American
production is falling sharply: to under 14%, the lowest
level since the late 1980s.
Canadian sales have been strong.

Jobs: Some Modest Recovery
From 2001 to 2009 assembly lost 18,000 jobs (one
third) and parts lost 40,000 jobs (40%).
Since 2009, a total of 12,000 jobs have come back
(about half in assembly and half in parts).
We have won back about one-fifth of the jobs we lost
earlier.
Employment is picking up in parts (3,000 new jobs last
year, more to come this year). The lower dollar helps
parts suppliers dramatically.

Oshawa GM ISCost Competitive
The hourly cost of production in Oshawa is competitive with the UAW
plants in the U.S., yet our Oshawa MP is erroneously blaming unionized
Here are the facts.
rate is $34.48 Cdn/hr. The Canadian dollar at
$0.85 US makes that $29.30 US/hr.
The Canadian health care cost advantage is $5 per/hr, bringing the cost
down to $24.30 US/hr.
There is a 5% to 10% productivity advantage at GM Oshawa which puts
our existing wages in the $22 US/hrrange. The UAW existing wage is
over $28 US/hr.
New members start at $20.49 Cdn/hr. The Canadian dollar at $0.85 US
makes that $17.41 US/hr.
The Canadian Health Care Cost advantage is $5 per/hr, bringing the cost
to $12.41 US/hr.
The 5% to 10% productivity advantage at GM Oshawa puts our new
member wages below $11 US/hr.The UAW new worker wage is $14
US/hr.
unifor.org16
Oshawa ISCost Competitive
All-in cost of Unifor Local 222 members (including wages and
benefits) are about $10 US/hrlower for existing members and
about $15 US/hrlower for new members than in the American
plants, at current exchange rates. The UAW is entering bargaining
which is strongly expected to increase the hourly cost in the U.S.
Meanwhile, the demographic of the workers in Oshawa allows for
2/3 of our workforce to be retirement eligible by the end of 2015,
thereby lowering our production costs even further.
During the 2008 auto bailout package from the Canadian
Government, our Union agreed to reduce our overall cost by
thousands of dollars by changing job rules, reducing time off,
reducing benefits, etc. It is a distortion to compare Canadian
wages to those in China and Mexico. All-in cost (including wages
and benefits) in Mexico are under $6 US/hrand the average
industrial wage in China is $4 US/hr. Can anyone reading this live
on that?!
unifor.org17
Oshawa ISCost Competitive
The Federal government was the largest single shareholder of GM
stock and awarded a member on the GM Board of Directors, yet
they made no effort to use the GM shares, bought with your tax
dollars, to allocate product in Oshawa. Why?
GM stock at a loss of over 3 billion taxpayer dollars to balance his
budget, while he handed over $2 billion a year to the richest 15%
of Canadians. Why?
We are losing 1,000 good jobs at GM Oshawa, which will result in
5,000 to 7,000 jobs gone from our community. This is a time for
Unions and governments to cooperate. We are a transparent
Union and are happy to inform the public and politicians of the
facts. Unifor Local 222 has made responsible decisions to protect
jobs and we will continue to pursue new products and job
opportunities for our community and our country.
We have made the difficult changes to be competitive and we are
not the problem!

Decommissioning
Hancock Rd. Bridge, one-lane potholed Road
Due to the importance of this project and sensitivity of the East Link
(Hwy 418), Council could for the safety of residents (possible flooding,
noise, water air pollution) ask the Province and Blackbird Constructions
to:
:
•
Submit a Landscape Plan to address points listed below
•
Conduct decommissioning of contaminated area and to remove the invasive Common
reed from all future interchanges prior to construction
•
Use or not to use Hancock Rd. for their heavy machinery during construction (Rd.,
bridge repair)
•
Replant and or use the mature vegetation to buffer especially Hwy 418 in order to protect
at least partially not only the wildlife, but people by protecting the groundwater quality
and quantity and lessen the noise from the highway
•
Create wildlife linkages (underpass) between wetlands to protect the whole ecosystem
My apologies for missing this opportunity to speak to you in person on behalf of
Home Base Durham
My name is Judy Mead.
I’m the President and Founder of this registered Canadian charity. And mom to
two adult sons, the youngest, Eric has autism. He is 23 years old, is functionally
non-verbal and requires full-time care.
Home Base Durham evolved from discussions from a group of parents who
connected through the school system.
A dozen Clarington families started meeting in 2007 to talk about what the future
would hold and what, if any options, we could create.
We shared a common goal of having our adult children live at home with us for as
long as we could.
We imagined a community where adults with autism and their caregivers would
lead full, multidimensional lives surrounded and supported by a sensitive,
educated community.
From that vision Home Base Durham was founded in May of 2013.
Our MISSION is to build enduring community partnerships that support adults
with autism and their caregivers to participate in life enriching opportunities
available locally.
With the support of a community grant from the Municipality of Clarington we
offered a Wednesday gym and swim program at the Newcastle and District
Recreation Complex.
And we were able to secure additional donations from friends, local businesses
and charitable foundations that allow us to offer art and music programs on
Thursday evenings.
We received a letter of support for a recent funding application from Community
Living Toronto. Gary Ouellette, is the Director of Shadow lake and runs a summer
camp for adults with development disabilities.
He wrote –
We recognize that existing programs can’t do much to support our kids and our
families. The cost of 1:1 support is extremely high.
So, unique to our approach is the focus on shared experiences for the adult with
autism and the caregiver. This alleviates the cost of salaried support workers for
our organization.
Traditionally, respite focuses on separating the caregiver and the person in the
care. We believe that families benefit from the opportunity to enjoy mutual
activities alongside the individual they support.
Further our approach honours and accepts that the families have the personal
knowledge and expertise to adapt activities (basketball, aquafit, etc.) for our own
children in a way that respects their individual needs and challenges.
And we believe that the parents are in as much need of social connections as is
the adult child they support.
Here’s why -
before we had a child with ASD we had interests and hobbies, we need to
find that part of ourselves again
We are better parents when we are happy and fulfilled
Our peers/parents have real life experience 24 hours a day, they can listen
without judging since they have been there too
We have someone to celebrate the small victories
I feel so lucky to live in Clarington. The facilities are amazing, the staff are
professional and compassionate. We want to participate in our community – we
want to be visible members of this community.
Your ongoing support at the $2,500 level will allow us to maintain our current
offerings by offsetting the cost of facility usage fees and a portion of the liability
insurance the Municipality requires for use of the community venues.
If we have to dip into our slim reserves, we compromise our ability to plan for the
year ahead.
This in turn makes grow objectives irresponsible. It doesn’t make sense to reach
out to more families if we are unsure of our future.
Although the $1,500 difference is a relatively small budget allocation from the
community grant budget, it has significant impact for our lean volunteer
organization and accordingly, the member families in this community.
We are building a foundation of connections, programs and policies that will
provide a firm footing on which to grow.
We want to grow Home Base Durham. We need to reach out to families who are
living in isolation … who have given up looking for a place where they fit … after a
lifetime of not-fitting.
We respectfully request the continued financial support that will help us reach
our goal.
