present.
Harvey Thompson, Chair, Port Granby Low-Level Radioactive Waste
Management Committee, advised Council that the Committee has met
several times in order to arrange for the hiring of a consultant to design an
on-site storage facility for the waste located at Port Granby. It is the
intention to build a containment of the waste which will last for a
minimum of 500 years. The criteria was sent to seven firms and in March
Golder/SENES was hired. The next phase of the project is the design,
which will take approximately 10 to 13 weeks to complete. It is
anticipated that the Committee's work will be finished on June 15. Until
that time, meetings are taking place weekly.
Robert Bouley, 4534 Concession Road 5, Newtonville, LOA IJO, advised
prior to the meeting that he would not be in attendance.
Bill Fry, Executive Director, John Howard Society, provided Council with
an update on the activities taking place at the Clarington Resource Centre
and the Firehall Youth Centre. He indicated that the John Howard Society
had been approached for help in working with the downtown youth in an
advisory capacity for a one-year period. Since that time, the Society's role
has been expanded and the Youth Centre has really taken off. During the
March break, approximately 75 youths per day were utilizing the Centre.
Through Council approaching the John Howard Society and the
Community for Living, the facility has been offered to other agencies,
who are unable to afford their own office space.
Presently, the Employment Resources Centre, Clarington Project, YWCA,
the Eastview Boys and Girls Club, the Department of Health-Sexual
Health Clinic and Northern Lights Vocational Services, are all sharing
available space in the building. Mr. Fry indicated that this is a fine
example of a better way of providing quality services. It is hoped that in
the near future, the services may be expanded to outlying areas within the
municipality.

in attendance.
Kevin Tunney, Tunney Plarming, 340 Byron St. S., Suite 200, Whitby,
LlN 4P8, addressed Council with respect to Amendment #9 to the
Clarington Official Plan. He indicated that his client, Paula Lishman
International, is concerned with the wording of Section 16.12.2 of the
amendment which Council adopted. Specifically, they believe that the
current wording would require an amendment to the Official Plan should
another single prestigious employment use be proposed for the subject
site. He requested that Council receive the draft amendment which was
circulated to each Member earlier and he hopes that this amendment will
come about at the Pre-Hearing Conference of the Ontario Municipal Board
which is scheduled to be held on April 14, 1999.

Linda Gasser, P.O. Box 399,7421 Best Road, Orono, LOB 1MO,
informed Council that the Regional Council had previously approved
Report 98-P- 79 to allow for a single industrial site on the
Lishman/Halminen property. She stated her disbelief that Regional
Council had recently voted to adopt changes to their position without
additional supporting documentation. She urged Council to not reconsider
and amend Amendment #9 to the Clarington Official Plan to allow for
other uses than those presently allowed. Doing so, would make a mockery
of the legitimate efforts to ensure a fair planning process.

Jim Flaherty, Minister of Labour, requesting Broader Public Sector
Stakeholders, to support protecting the working men and women of the
construction industry in Eastern Ontario from unfair competition to fight
for their right to jobs. In December 1998, Premier Harris came to Ottawa
to talk about the need to create a level playing field in the competition for
construction jobs between Ontario and Quebec. The Premier spoke ofa
situation where six times as many Quebeckers were working on the
Ontario side, as Ontarians working on the Quebec side. The Premier
stated that if Quebec had not removed the key barriers to Ontarians getting
construction jobs in Quebec by April 1, 1999, the Ontario government
would act. After three months of intense but largely unproductive
discussions, the barriers were still not down. Ontario had to act. It did.
He is requesting that in the interest of Ontario workers, we encourage you
to join the fight for fairness and follow the Ontario government's lead and
voluntarily stop awarding construction contracts to companies from
Quebec.

"CARRIED"
Robert G. Lake, General Manager, Peterborough Utilities Commission,
advising of a provision of service for billing and settlement with IMO. He
advises that as deregulation is implemented, our local distribution
company (wires company), will be required to perform the billing function
for all energy suppliers operating from within our municipality. Most
utilities today do not have the hardware and software required to perform
the billing function for multiple vendors with multiple rate structures.
Also, in addition, our local distribution company will be required to
perform a settlement function with the Independent Market Operator.
This requires calculating the load curve for all customers in the
municipality to calculate their bill, based on the rates of the energy
supplier, or for customers who have not chosen a specific supplier,
applying the hourly spot market prices to their load curve. He expects at
this point, no utility has software for a settlement system, as the rules are
not fully developed. He advises that in Peterborough they have just
installed new hardware and software in their Civic Data Centre (CDC).
The CDC performs all of the computer services for the City and the PUC.
One oftheir largest systems is their Utility Management System, which
will handle multiple vendors and multiple rates. The software is working
now in deregulated gas, and deregulated electric utilities. They do not yet
have a settlement system but will be choosing one in the next few months.
He is offering his services and would be pleased to discuss options with
the Municipality ofClarington.

Dave Lawson, President, Bowmanville Creek Anglers Association, with
respect to Goodyear Canada Diesel Fuel Spill into Bowmanville Creek.
Rainbow trout have begun to spawn and have been making their way from
Lake Ontario up through the creek to their spawning sites for the last two
weeks or so. It appears that there were fish staging in the creek at the time
of the spill, however, some ofthese have since died. Fishing season opens
at the end of April and there will be people who intend to eat what they
catch. He feels that it is imperative that a public information meeting with
the relevant public agencies present be held as soon as possible so that our
community can obtain factual information about what caused the spill,
what impacts have been detected and those that are expected, and related
public health issues that need to be addressed.

its anesthesia roster without an additional GP Anesthetist; and
WHEREAS the inability of new and current citizens of our

physicians to the communities; and
WHEREAS there is concern across the Province that newly
educated doctors are leaving the Province of Ontario to take up
practice in another province or country; and
WHEREAS the current regulations faced by doctors trained
overseas and in the United States who seek to practice in Canada
may be prohibitive resulting in qualified doctors performing
unskiUedjobs to earn a living while the Province is facing a
significant shortage of qualified doctors;

Claude Cantin, President, Federation of Canadian Municipalities, advising
of the Community Leaders Partnership Program (CLPP). Funding for
FCM's CLPP ended on March 31, 1999. By the end of its mandate, the
CLPP will have successfully empowered more than 500 leaders from 80
communities in all provinces and territories to reach out to counterparts
across Canada and to share expertise and knowledge. Excellent press
coverage at the local, provincial and national levels stimulated great
interest, which in turn has led to further requests for participation. On
February I, 1999, FCM submitted to the Honourable Sheila Copps,
Minister of Canadian Heritage, a proposal to renew the Government of
Canada's financial support for the CLPP for a three year period. Their
proposal made a strong case and a sincere one. It included testimonials
from many community leaders who had been involved. He strongly
encourages the municipality to write or call the Honourable Sheila Copps
to bring home to her the value ofthe program and the widespread support
for it.
