transit representatives and members of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) to
officially get the initiative started. Staff Sergeant Martin stated that Cassidy Bignell

have put back into the community. Staff Sergeant Martin indicated he was very

7 Delegations
7.1 Kyle Fitzgerald, Chair, Durham Youth Council, and Tenzin Shomar, Youth
Councillor representing the Municipality of Clarington, addressed Council
concerning Item 5 of the General Government Committee Report - Endorsement of
GO Train Extension to Bowmanville. Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Shomar highlighted the
Youth Council's policy process and the steps involved in developing the
"Connecting Clarington: GO Train Extension to Bowmanville" policy. Kyle
Fitzgerald and Tenzin Shomar spoke of the importance of the extension as a priority
project to ensure Clarington has a viable option for youth to be connected to .
Toronto and the rest of Durham Region and to address the current competitive
disadvantage that Clarington has as a result of the less frequent and more time-
consuming bus connections. Mr. Fitzgerald advised timing is appropriate as the
new Federal Government has pledged to increase transit funding by $20 billion,
there is broad community support, there is agreement among local politicians. and
local cost-sharing commitments have been secured. Mr. Fitzgerald stated the
Youth Council looks forward to working with Clarington Council to lobby the
Province to ensure the project gets the priority it deserves.

Subject: Noise By-law Exception
Retube Waste Processing Building (RWPB) is part of the Darlington Refurbishment Retube and Feeder
Replacement Project (RFR). The ability to produce concrete on extended hours is important to minimize the
schedule.
The pouring of pile cap concrete for RWPB is scheduled to commence January 13th, 2016 and end May 31St
2016. We would like to apply for a noise exemption permit for our concrete batching plant allowing them to
batch any evening from 5:OOPM to 9:OOPM and Sundays from 7:OOAM to 5:OOPM between the dates
mentioned above. Dufferin Concrete is the concrete supplier and their batch plant is located on 44 Port
Darlington Rd. Bowmanville, ON. The area manager for Bowmanville is Joe Thompson — (905)261-0655.
Truck and loader engine noise will be generated- as well as some minimal mechanical noise from the
batching machines.
The RFR is an important project to the City of Clarington and all of Ontario.

DELEGATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS
BUSINESS ARISING
1640 Concession Road 9 Alterations — At the October 20, 2015 meeting the committee
received a presentation from Dana Snow, the new owner of the property, and discussed
potential changes to convert the former church building to a single detached dwelling.
The committee has had a chance to review the staff report and the proposed draft
designation by-law. The committee was pleased with the draft designation by-law.
15.23 Moved by T. Taylor, seconded by K. Warren
THAT the proposed alterations to 1640 Concession Road 9 to convert the
building from a former church use to a single detached dwelling be accepted and that
the new draft designation by-law be accepted as presented in staff's report.
"CARRIED"
Drafting Heritage Designation By-laws — The committee used the draft by-law for 1640
Concession Road 9 as an example and an opportunity to discuss what information is
required when drafting a heritage designation by-law and what the by-law needs to
capture about the heritage value of the property. V. Suppan provided the committee
with a presentation that was given by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport staff to
a previous committee that highlights many of the key aspects.
The committee engaged in discussions on how much detail should be in the by-law,
especially when identifying listed items, and if non -original elements of the structure
should be listed. The key message that was highlighted was that it really is a case by
case basis. Depending on the property and the heritage value of the property it may be
important to capture either old or newer elements or both. It is the same case when
discussing the level of detail identified in the by-law, it will depend on what the
committee and Council feel is important to ensure the preservation of the heritage value
of a property. This could include very detailed descriptions of specific elements or more
general comments about the style of the building and the materials used..
Jury Lands Foundation (Camp 30) — B. Weiler reported that Wynn's Property
Maintenance has completed the works on bush hogging the sides of the trail, clean up
of large debris and reseeding of the area disturbed when the new section of trail was
constructed. The owners of the property have also cleaned up portions of the site
around the buildings including cutting back long grass and cleaning up large debris.
The brushing and other works are to make the trail safe for public use and to show the
public that there. is positive steps happening on the site. It is hoped this will encourage
trail users to help steward the site, activity and eyes will help avoid further vandalism

and debris dumping. The owner has installed signage along the trial to identify that the
portion of the property, including the buildings, which is private property and not to be
used by the public.
The Jury Lands Foundation, staff and a representative of the owner presented at the
National Trust Conference in Calgary on October 23. The presentation was very well
received and contacts made at the conference can help the groups work moving
forward.

committee felt that they needed those funds to continue to create new publications and
projects. To be a true resource that Council can rely on it is important for members to

proposal at the December meeting.

MOTION CARRIED
7. Business Arising from Minutes:
Nothing was brought forward.
8. Executive Director's Report:
M. Adams, Executive Director, reviewed his report noting that the
2015 year has been one of transition. Success has been evident
though in significantly increased visitors to the museum nearly
doubling previous numbers. M. Adams highlighted the Museum
Structure & Policy section noting that reviewing staff structure and
responsibilities will be of even greater significance with the
Curator's departure. One plan would be to feature guests who have
been local historians and writers.
With regards to Municipal, Community & Corporate Relations, M.
Adams has engaged several municipal departments working toward
collaborative events like the unveiling of the recently donated
original Charles Bowman (Founder of Bowmanville) painting which
was very successful, and sharing of the Sports exhibit presently in
place at the Sarah Jane Williams Heritage Centre, along with
community service groups now as a member of the Bowmanville
Rotary with plans to participate in Rib Fest 2016 as an opportunity
to promote the museum to a larger audience.
Exhibit, Event & Programming schedules are an integral part of the
5 year Exhibit plan and are under review. The Avro Arrow exhibit
will be in place as planned early in 2016 but will continue to be built
upon with local components as time passes and things are ready.
During this year of transition, exhibit planning and development for
2016 was a priority. Still a lot of work to be done. Plans are almost
complete to create a permanent Camp 30 exhibit.
Regarding Fundraising, Sponsorship & Marketing the CMOG grant
has been confirmed as $25,161 for 2015 — 2016 having met the
requirements this year. There is a need to re-examine timing of top
tier sponsors to support programs effectively as during this
Um
transition year, some sponsorship funds cover activity in both 2014
and 2015 (i.e. War Exhibit and associated programming). Volunteer
positions continue to be developed and filled to support
programming, administration, archives and grounds.
Previous to the Curator's resignation, which challenges our ability to
meet the 2016 exhibit schedule, plans were in place regarding
staffing but will be reassessed. * Staff are, returning from and leaving
for parental leaves Jan 1, 2016. Restructured positions with
realigned responsibilities will be brought before the board for
review at a future meeting.
Moved by: J. Sturdy
Seconded by: K. Warren
THAT: the Executive Director's report be accepted as submitted.

incoming pieces as well as items approved for accession. Next meeting is
planned for Thursday, Nov. 26" for other pieces including a Rolex watch
collection that have not yet been dealt with. Processes for tax receipts for

rham — Memorandum from [fir. Robert Kyle,
Commissioner '& Medical Officer of Health Dated October 15, 2015 Re:
National Pharmacare
That the following Town of Ajax resolution, endorsed by the Region of Durham,
regarding national pharmacare, be endorsed by the Municipality of Clarington:
Whereas the Town of Ajax has recognized and consistently demonstrated
over the past years,, its commitment to the importance of healthy citizens as
the foundation of a healthy, engaged and economically vibrant community;
and
Page 3
10-19
Clarington
General Government Committee
Report to Council
Whereas studies indicate that over 3 million Canadians, including many in
our ,community, don't take medicines prescribed by their doctors because
they can't afford them; and
Whereas Canada is currently the only developed country with a publicly
funded universal health insurance program that does not include prescription
drug coverage; and,
Whereas studies show that adding a national pharmacare Program to our
national health care system would lower costs to businesses by over $8
billion per year, providing Canadian companies competitive advantages in
international trade; and
Whereas recent research confirms that these gains can be achieved with
little or no increase in public investment; and
Whereas a national pharmacare program would support better quality, more
evidence based prescribing, including reducing dangerous and inappropriate
prescribing to Canadian seniors; and
Whereas a national pharmacare program is sound policy, both economically
and socially; and
Whereas health and economic studies now show that such a policy would
improve health in municipalities and give local businesses a competitive
advantage in the global marketplace;
Therefore be it resolved:
That Council endorses the creation of a national pharmacare program as an
extension of Canadian Medicare and urges the Federal Government to work
with the Provinces to implement a national pharmacare program;
Be it further resolved that Council calls on the Province of Ontario to work
with other provinces and the Federal Government to develop and implement
a national pharmacare program; and
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Leaders of
the Conservative, Liberal, and NDP Parties of Canada, Council of the
Federation, Premier of Ontario, Minister of Health and Long -Term Care,
Region of Durham, Durham MPP's, Durham Municipalities, alPHa, the
Federation of Canadian Municipalities and to the Association of.
Municipalities of Ontario.

SUBJECT: PSD -061-15. An application by 564069 Ontario Inc. (the Gyaltsan family) to construct a 5
storey, mixed-use building on Beaver Street South, Newcastle, ON
To those who do not know me, my name is Bob Malone, a resident of Newcastle. It is with pride that I
serve Newcastle and Clarington in the following roles:
President, Newcastle/Bond Head Ratepayers Association
President, Newcastle Village and District Historical Society
Member, Clarington Heritage Committee
Member, Clarington Heritage Week Committee
Member (representing Newcastle Historical), ACO
Member for Clarington, Durham Land Division Committee
In short, I'm committed 1 And, it is my personal belief the Gyaltsan family share the very same
dedication to their community, That dedication is amply demonstrated by their restoration of the
Massey/JASCO building and the building on the S.W. corner of Icing and Mill Street (Home Hardware). It
is hard to imagine the fine job they have carried out on these properties would suggest a family acting
against its own self -Interest, especially, if approved, they are about to undertake a new development at
a cost of $13 million. As well, they have other real estate holdings in the Village.
Last week, my colleague, Myno Van Dyke, set the Gyaltsan property and proposal in a unique context
and, given the historical significance of the site, this is an important aspect of the Gyaltsan application.
I am personally in favour of the proposed development and, in saying that, I would think the family
probably has other choices about where to place their money. Instead, they have chosen to make the
commitment in Newcastle and I salute that decision. By my calculation, the new building will house
about 1.30 workers and residents and, even if half that number is simply people moving from other
Newcastle locations, it could mean as many as 60 + new people.
There is support from many of the Directors of the Newcastle Historical Society and from many Directors
of the Newcastle/Bond Head Ratepayers Association.
If Council chooses to approve the Gyalstan application as submitted, then our Directors look forward to
engaging the proponent at the Site Plan approval stage to ensure a sympathetic relationship will exist
between the new building and the Massey/JASCO building, the most important issue at the Historical
Society.

8.1 Nigel Bellchamber, Amberley Gavel Ltd. — Report Regarding the Investigation of the
Closed Meeting of Council for the Municipality of Clarington on February 26, 2015
eeent rW(�n-n
unicipal Clerk
CAGIcf
c: F. Wu, Chief Administrative Officer
Department Heads
REPORT TO
THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON
REGARDING THE INVESTIGATION OF THE CLOSED MEETING OF
COUNCIL FOR THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON
ON FEBRUARY 26, 201.5
I. COMPLAINT
The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington ("Municipality") received a complaint
about a Closed Meeting of the Municipal Council ("Council") on February 26, 2015. The
essence of the complaint is that the closed meeting slid not meet the requirements of the
11 unicipal Act, 2001', as amended by Bill 1302 ("titin?icij)a1 Act" or "Act").
This request was sent to the offices of Amberley Gavel Ltd. ("Amberley Gavel") for
investigation.
II. JURISDICTION
The City appointed Local Authority Services (LAS) as its closed meeting investigator
pursuant to section 239.2 of the Municipal Act.
LAS has delegated its powers and duties to Amberley Gavel to undertake the
investigation and report to Township Council.
III. BACKGROUND
Section 239 of the illfunicipal Act provides that all meetings of a municipal council, local
board or a committee of either of them shall be open to the public. This requirement is
one of the elements of transparent local government.
The section sets forth exceptions to this open meetings rule. It lists the reasons for which
a meeting, or a portion of a meeting, may be closed to the public. The section confers
discretion on a council or local board to decide whether or not a closed meeting is
required for a particular matter. That is, it is not required to move into closed session if it
does not feel the matter warrants a closed session discussion.
' S.O.2001, c. 25.
2 Bill 130: An /lei to ainend various Acts in relation to municipalities, S.O. 2006, c. 32 ("Bill 130").
Section 239 reacts in part as follows:
Meetings open to public
239. (1) Except as provided in this section, all meetings shall be open to the public. 2001, c. 25,
s. 239 (l).
Exceptions
Q A meeting or part of a meeting may be closed to the public if the subject matter being
considered is,
(a) the security of the property of the municipality or local board;
(b) personal matters about an ideiitiflable individual, including municipal or local board
employees;
(c) a proposed or pending acquisition or disposition of land by the municipality or local
board;
(d) labour relations or employee negotiations;
(e) litigation or potential litigation, including ;natters before administrative tribunals,
affecting the municipality or local board;
(f) advice that is subject to solicitor -client privilege, including communications
necessary for that purpose;
(g) a matter iu respect of which a council, board, comnnittee or other body may hold a
closed meeting tinder another Act. 2001, c. 25, s. 239 (2).
The pct, ander subsections 239(5) and 239(6), does not permit a council, committee, or
local board to vote while in closed session unless the Act requires or permits the meeting
to be closed by virtue of one of its exceptions and the vote is for a procedural matter or
for giving directions or instructions to officers, employees or agents of the municipality,
local board or committee of either of them or persons retained by or under a contract with
the municipality or local board.
The Act authorizes the municipality to appoint an investigator who has the fiiiction to
investigate in an independent manner, on a complaint made to him or her by any person,
whether the municipality or a local board has complied with section 239 or a procedure
by-law under subsection 238(2) in respect of a meeting or part of a meeting that was
closed to the public, and to report on the investigation (section 239(2)),
IV. INVESTIGATION
Documents reviewed during the course of the investigation included the Agenda and
Minutes and Supporting Documents for the General Purpose and Administration (GPA)
Committee Meeting of Council on February 27, 2015, emails and correspondence related
to the 2014 and 2015 Municipal Budgets, the Procedural By -Law and Notice By-law, and
other relevant documentation. The Municipal Clerk ("Clerk") was also consulted during
the course of the investigation.
V. BACKGROUND
(a) The Complain
The complaint alleges that Council held an improper meeting on February 26, 2015,
through email correspondence, prior to its GPA meeting on February 27, 2015. The
complaint alleges that this correspondence "amounted to a meeting of council during
which the Budget was deliberated, and from which the public was excluded, contrary to
Section 239(2) of the Municipal Act".
(b) The Email Correspondence
At approximately 10:29 p.m. on February 26, 2015 the Mayor sent an e-mail to all
Members of Council with respect to the Municipality's 2015 budget, the content of which
provided "some thoughts on the budget". The Mayor sent a minor clarification to his
original email at approximately 10:36 p.m. In the original email, he outlined several
proposals to "liit 3.75%" (increase). The message asked the Members of Council to
"Please send me yours" (thoughts), Of the seven -member Council, only two of the six
Councillors responded. The Mayor suggested that those members bring forward their
suggestions to staff -- presumably at the February 27, 2015 GPA Committee meeting. In
a message addressed to both responding Councillors, the Mayor said `Be sure to bring
those up, I'd ask staff, based on the answers move forward or not."
VI. ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
(a) The Definition of a Meeting
"Meeting" is not defined in the Alhrnicipal tact. However, we have previously defined it
as a gathering of a quorum of members of council who enter into discussions that
materially advance the business of the municipality or that set the foundation for
decisions that would materially advance the business of the municipality at a fiiture date.
This "gathering" does not have to involve the physical presence of Members of Council
in a meeting place. Given the technological age, meetings can take place by serial or
sequential email correspondence, telephone, text, or through online programs such as
Skype or "Go To Meetings". The defining factor, in our opinion, is that a quorluna of
members of a council has discussions that either materially advance the business of the
municipality or that set a foundation for decisions which will be made at a fixture date.
(b) The Email Corresnondence as a "Meeting"
The email correspondence as it occurred between the Mayor and Members of Council
cannot be elevated, in our opinion, to the status of a "meeting". The Mayor appears to
merely be asking for the Members' thoughts in preparation for the following day's
meeting. He does not attempt to influence them towards a specific decision or decisions,
although he makes it clear by virtue of his proposals (as he had done publicly in the past,
as we were told) that he would support only a 3.75% increase. He asks the Members of
Council to "share their thoughts"; he does not ask them to agree with one or more of the
proposals, or even his target of 3.75%, He does not ask them or invite them to share their
thoughts with each other. Although the message was sent to a "group address"
(Councillors Office) but he does not suggest they "reply all").
Further, the Mayor does not engage in any substantive subsequent correspondence with
the two Councillors who did respond. He simply invites them to table their thoughts to
staff and proceed forward on the basis of that information from staff. And, he does not
forward the thoughts expressed in the response e-mail frons the two Councillors to other
Members of Council.
To say that Members of Council cannot communicate with one another on important
issues would be to add an unnecessary chilling effect. It is expected that a Mayor would
communicate with individual Members of Council outside of a Council meeting as one of
the ways in which he or she would "provide leadership to the council" as required under
the Act. It is only when a quorum of council in the absence of the public, is making a
decision or• is selling the ground►ivork.for,ffi1z re decisions without following proper
process under the Act will be in contravention of the 1Llrrnicil)al Acl or their own
procedure by-law.
A quorum of the Members of Council was not engaged in the email correspondence.
Only two of the six Councillors responded and there was no sequential or serial
correspondence among those who engaged in their "thoughts". Hence, this cannot be
deemed to be a meeting of Council.
VII. CONCLUSION
Amberley Gavel has concluded that Council for the Municipality of Clarington did not
have a closed meeting of council or its committee on February 26, 2015.
4
However, we would caution Members of Council that group emails can quickly and
inadvertently, become a "meeting" of council, a committee of council, or a local board.
Had the comments of any member been sent to "all" through a reply all response then our
conclusion would likely have been different.
Members of Council must be extremely cautious in this era of email and other assorted
communication "apps" in ensuring that their technological exchanges are not, or will not
be perceived to be, a quorum of council furthering the business of a Council or laying the
groundwork for fihture decision making of council, in breach of the Act or Council's its
Procedure By-law.
VIII. PUBLIC REPORT
We received frill co-operation from the Clerk and we thank her.
This report is forwarded to the Council of the Municipality of Clarington. The Mialicrpal
Act provides that this report be made public. It is suggested that the report be included on
the agenda of the next regular meeting of Council or at a special meeting called for the
purpose of receiving this report prior to the next regular meeting.
