AND WHEREAS clause 3(1)(b) ofthe Fish and Wildlife

reasonable grounds that wildlife is damaging or is about to damage
the person's property, the person may, on the person's land (a)
harass the wildlife for the purpose of deterring it from damaging
the person's property; or (b) capture or kill the wildlife". This
clause has been further regulated by way of Ontario Regulation
667/98 which states, 'A person who captures but does not kill live
wildlife under clause 31 (1 )(b) of the Act shall, not later than 24
hours after capture, release the wildlife as soon as possible into the
area in close proximity to the capture site unless otherwise directed
by the Ministry. . . ' .

AND WHEREAS a person convicted of an offence under this Act
is liable to a fine of not more than $25,000, to imprisonment for a
term of not more than one year, or to both.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Council of the
Township ofUxbridge hereby seeks the support and co-operation
of the municipalities within the Region of York, the City of
Toronto, the Region of Durham, the Region of Peel, as well as the
Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Health, all Wildlife
Control businesses, all Humane Societies and all Animal Control
businesses to end the practice ofrelocating nuisance raccoons to
rural areas within the Township ofUxbridge."
(Received for Information)
Ken Gorman, Manager, Environmental Health, Region of Durham, Health
Department, responding to the municipality's letter of October 16. The
disposal of dead animals, including livestock, is the responsibility of the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. Protection of
groundwater sources to ensure safe, potable drinking water supplies is a
concern of the Durham Region Health Department. The Ministry of
Environment also has regulation(s) under the Ontario Water Resources
Act that sets out requirements for water wells. The Health Department
believes that the "Dead Animal Disposal Act, RSO, 1990, Chapter D.3"
outlines the requirements for the proper disposal of dead animals and/or
removal by an approved deadstock operator. The protection of
groundwater and surface water sources are an integral part of these
regulations and guidelines.

agreement has been reached between the Province, industry,
municipalities, the Liquor Control Board of Ontario and the Recycling
Council of Ontario. Industry members and the LCBO have committed up
to $14.5 million to develop, implement and fund waste diversion programs
through the WDO. A key objective of the organization is to deliver, for
his consideration, a sustainable funding plan for the Blue Box program
and other waste diversion initiatives. Under the agreement, municipalities
will receive $4 million to offset the 1999 costs of recycling liquor and
wine bottles collected in the Blue Box and another $4 million in 2000.

results of the meeting on public alerting which was held on
November 2, 1999. The meeting was a constructive attempt by all parties
to address the issue of public alerting for the Provincial Nuclear
Emergency Plan. It was agreed by all that decisions must be made in the
near future as to both the public alerting standard that is to be applied and
the technologies that will be used to alert people within the contiguous and
primary zones.

It is clear that the Region of Durham and its municipalities clearly favour
an alerting arrangement that will serve all residents equally in the 10 km
primary zone. A study ofthe alternatives for public alerting should;
examine all available technologies, assess their efficacy under all
operating conditions, clearly set out the advantages and disadvantages of
each, explore possible applications other than for nuclear emergency
situations, assess their ease of operation by the emergency services, and
estimate the costs of installation and operation. It was proposed that the
terms of reference for the study be drawn up and circulated as quickly as
possible and the job tendered shortly thereafter. It is anticipated that this
process, including the tendering, can be achieved by the end of calendar
year with the study to commence early in the year 2000. It is hoped that
the terms of reference will be specific enough that the study can be
undertaken in a relatively quick time in the New Year as all parties agree
that early resolution is essential. It is also proposed that a simultaneous
effort be undertaken to test the most promising of the technologies, from
Telcordia Technologies. Contact will be made with both Telcordia and
Bell to try to again scope out the size, cost and timing of such a test.
There is consideration of the test being undertaken in either Pickering or
Clarington and he is prepared to decide on this once more information is
available to him.

Arnold Bark, Chair, Bowmanville Museum Board, expressing their
interest in the Clarington Public Library, Bowmanville Branch building.
They understand that it may become available in the near future with the
development of a new building for the Library. Both the curator,
Charles Taws and he have had an in-depth tour of the facility and they feel
it would help solve many of the problems the Museum is currently facing.
The Museum would use the building in many different ways. Part would
be used to store their collections; currently all excess artifacts are stored in
the Hampton Community Hall. This is not convenient or an ideal
situation. By having the collection property stored in an area that can be
climate controlled they can better ensure that the items will be available
for conservation, study and display purposes. Also, the Hampton Hall
Board is in need of additional space for their activities, and removal of the
Museum artifacts would satisfy that requirement. Some space would be
used to expand their displays, in particular their collection of Bowmanville
built Dominion pianos and organs, as well as their antique doll and toy
collection. Both continue to increase in popularity with visitors. Archive
collection storage, provision of proper study space, and more adequate
office space would be considerably improved. Volunteer groups could
also use this space for their activities and meetings.

Gerry Meharg, Meadows of Tyrone - 594829 Ontario Limited,
28B Albert Street, Oshawa, LlH 8S5, advising the Municipality of
Clarington that they have advised five property owners located on the east
side of Liberty Street North that one of the draft plan conditions is that a
sidewalk be constructed in front of their properties. All five owners tell
them they do not wish to have a sidewalk constructed in that location.
Some of the owners are neutral regarding the installation of streetlights
while two think lights would be beneficial. Mr. Meharg does not see the
need or benefit of a sidewalk in that location and because they were not
involved in the draft plan negotiations, they are not sure why this was even
included as a requirement. They respectfully ask that the municipality
remove this requirement from the draft plan conditions, as they will soon
be having their engineer doing the necessary work leading up to the
registration. If we would prefer that street lights be a requirement, they
would point out that the draft plan conditions relating to the site of the
northwest quadrant of Tyrone includes that a contribution be made
towards the same street lights on Liberty Street presumably on a pro-rata
basis. Ifthis should occur, they would respectfully ask that we set up
some mechanism whereby they, as developers of the northeast quadrant,
are re-imbursed for the share ofthe street lights to be paid by the
developers of the northwest quadrant, when the northwest quadrant
development becomes registered.

Glenn R Clark, Glenn R. Clark & Associates Limited, 4098 Concession
Road 5, RR. #1, Orono, LOB IMO, regarding the payment to elected
officials. Ifthere were definite laws or rules for this then there would be
no problem. Obviously the problem with rules or laws is that they get
outdated and then often exacerbate the condition that they were made to
correct. One needs a simple law that will be suitable as long as we have
elected officials and that will meet the changing times. Although it is not
always obvious by the actions of some elected officials, the electorate
perceives that the person elected has entered into a contract with the
electorate to do a specific job, for a specific duration and at the time of the
election the remuneration for the job was well known to the Candidates. It
is the changing of the terms of reference after the election that causes the
problem. Many people like himself work on contract rates that are either
written or agreed to verbally. These rates extend through the life of the
job unless there are unusual circumstances such as the job has changes, the
contract goes on for a long period of time and has review clauses or some
mutually agreed mechanism. It is seldom that a person can just say that I
won't do the job for the agreed price. They will lose the job or be held to
it by a legal challenge and they will seldom, if ever, get a second chance at
another contract job with the same company, government or individual.
When elected officials give themselves a pay raise after they have been
elected they are, in fact, breaking the perceived contract that they made
with the electorate. In private life this would not be tolerated. This is a
problem as we need to have elected officials that are intelligent and are in
touch with the world and particularly people that have been in a variety of
walks of live so that the people are represented. If the pay scale is
inadequate then it will be impossible for some potentially splendid
officials to run for office. It would be best if one Federal Law could be
put in place that would address this problem if the not withstanding clause
did not get in the way. However if should go all the way down the list and
someone should start it. Premier Harris could add this to His Common
Sense Proposals and make it Ontario Law. If this is not possible,
Clarington should instigate it or maybe Toronto. Whoever starts
something like this will be looked on as a forward thinking problem
solver. This would allow elected officials to get on with their job at least
until the end of the term without the distraction of pay negotiations.
(Similar letters are being sent to Mayor Lastman of Toronto, Premier
Harris and Prime Minister Chretian.)
