Inspector Ross Smith and Staff Sgt. Ted Dionne, Durham Regional Police
Department, appeared before Council to advise of changes in the police
organization which will affect the Municipality of Clarington. Inspector
Smith advised that in the fall of 1996, Chief McAlpine was appointed and
one of his main objectives was to institute the Community Policing Style
in the Durham Regional Police Force. Clarington has been divided into
six areas of responsibility. With the exception of the south Bowmanville
and south Courtice areas, all areas have similar calls for service. The two
southern areas has two officers assigned to each of them and one officer is
assigned to the remaining four areas. Emergency calls in the municipality
are still answered in the normal manner, i.e., the officer closest to the
emergency will respond. Inspector Ross feels that this new community
policing effort will provide superior quality of service delivery in the
municipality and the residents will see more of a police presence in their
neighbourhoods.
StaffSgt. Dionne indicated that every member of the Durham Regional
Police Force is committed to providing quality services to the
Municipality of Clarington. The new program puts the police into a
partnership with the community at large, social clubs, schools, etc. The
program will mean a fundamental change in the organization of the
department and the means of the delivery of police services.
Mr. Carl Andognini, Executive Vice-President and Chief Nuclear Officer,
Ontario Hydro, informed Council that in December 1996, he was asked to
complete a performance assessment on some of the reactors of Ontario
Hydro which were experiencing declining performance. At that time, he
found that the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station was performing at
minimally accepted levels and they were experiencing people-related
problems. The Bruce Nuclear Generating Station A is to be shut down
April 7, 1998, and presently Pickering Nuclear Generating Station's
performance is improving. A five year business plan has been developed
and approximately 400 new jobs will be created at Darlington. The
priority of the review is to ensure the safe operation of the plant and
standardization of the programs throughout Ontario Hydro.

Mandy Treen, a student of Courtice Secondary School, advised that she is
assisting in the co-ordination of a Stewardship Program for rehabilitation
and clean-up of Black Creek. The area that the students are focusing their
attention on is the north-west comer of Court ice Road and Highway #2.
With the assistance of the Friends of the Second Marsh, it is the students'
intention to co-ordinate a plant-a-tree program at Moyse Park and clean up
the area. A partnership in this endeavour has been formed with Nantucket
Condominium Corporation and Friends of the Second Marsh who will be
donating the trees and plants for the program. Helen Ward, a resident of
the Nantucket Condominiums, indicated that they are establishing a group
of residents who are concerned with the rehabilitation of the creek and
wetlands and are assisting the students with planting of the trees and
plants. Through safety and educational programs, children are being
taught to respect the wetlands in order to make it an area to be proud of for
years to come.
Carole Seysmith, Friends of Second Marsh, 206 King Street East, P.O.
Box 26066, RPO King Street, Oshawa, L1H 8R4, provided Council with
an update on the Second Marsh Watershed Stewardship Project. She
indicated that Friends of Second Marsh is a partnership of citizens
dedicated to the rehabilitation and protection of Second Marsh, a
Provincially significant wetland located on the shore of Lake Ontario just
west of Darlington Provincial Park. In 1991, Friends of Second Marsh
assumed responsibility for implementing a multi-million dollar wetland
restoration project on behalf of Environment Canada, the Ministry of
Natural Resources, the City of Os haw a and a multitude of other partners.
This project has included the construction of a habitat island, experimental
carp control techniques, planting efforts increase acquatic vegetation, the
creation of recreational opportunities and the development of educational
and interpretation programs for community members at large.
One of the most recent developments in the Stewardship Program has
been the Adopt-A-Stream initiative which Mandy Treen and Helen Ward
described earlier. Friends will act as a facilitator for the project helping to
direct them to appropriate resources and to ensure environmental integrity.
Michael Schuster, 5 Taunus Court, Bowmanville, L1C 4H5, addressed
Council with respect to Plan of Subdivision IOM-793 at Old Scugog Road
and Highway 57, and requested the return of his security deposit. He

agreement with the then Corporation of the Town of Newcastle. This was
a relatively small development with 11 new properties of which 10 have
now been built. The only vacant property remaining is Lot 1 of the
development and it was sold in 1993.

Ms. Pingle indicated that Mr. Domitrovic has been in operation for over

Domitrovic's business, the municipality is forcing him to accept welfare
thereby increasing social assistance costs. Ms. Pingle stated that the
conditions contained within Report PD-38-98 seem to be very strong for a

entrance and a 2% cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication.
