"CARRIED" Council Minutes ~ DELEGATIONS '-w '-- -2- October 13, 1998 Chris Kreasul, 41 Living Court, Courtice, LIE 2V6 introduced Josh Thompson who addressed the issue of a skatepark in the Municipality of Clarington. Josh indicated that the Courtice Teen Centre has had an opportunity to review Report WD-51-98 regarding this issue and stated that they would like to see the skatepark located at either the northwest corner of the Courtice Complex or on the property that currently houses the tennis courts for Courtice High School. It is their opinion that either of these locations would most benefit the youth of Clarington. The group has undertaken interviews of various skatepark managers and has distributed a questionnaire to schools in the area. If the skatepark is located at the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex, there is no way for the youth of Courtice to access it, other than by using GO Transit, which many youth cannot afford. He suggested that the budget amount referenced in Report WD-5l-98 could be split equally between the three major urban centres of the municipality. Michele Thompson, 22 Stanford Crescent, Newcastle, L1B IGl addressed Council with respect to Report CD-48-98. She advised that she had been served with a declaration of vicious dog for her german shepherd, Duke, related to a supposed attack on a neighbour's lab. She admits that the dog did run out of the house toward the lab, however, the attack did not occur as detailed in the report and the lab was not hurt in the attack. Ms. Thompson indicated that her dog is always around children and they have never experienced any problems with him. She requested that Council revoke the vicious dog declaration. Rosalind Paton, 190 Waterloo Court, Unit 1, Oshawa, Ontario, L 1 H 8A 7, a dog obedience instructor with 18 years experience in handling numerous breeds, indicated that on October 12, 1998 she evaluated Michele Thompson's dog. She found him to be very stable and at no time did he display any sign of aggression toward her. She recommends that the label of vicious dog not be placed in this case. Linda Gasser, P.O. Box 399, 7421 Best Road, Orono, LOB 1MO advised prior to the meeting that she would not be in attendance. Bill Woods, RR. #2,3296 Taunton Road, Orono, LOB lMO advised prior to the meeting that he would not be in attendance. Council Minutes ~ DELEGATIONS ~ '-w - 3 - October 13, 1998 Ron Webb, 8 Nelson Street, Brampton, L6X 4J2 addressed Council with respect to Resolution #C-738-97 relating to the Port of NewcastIe. Mr. Webb requested clarification ofthe resolution. It is his opinion that the total performance guarantee is $750,000 and can be supplied in stages, following the issuance ofthe toOth, 200th and 300th building permits. He has been advised, however, that the total of the deposit is $5.2 million. Craig Brown, Chair, Finance CommitteeNice-Chair, Clarington Public Library Board, presented a response to Council's resolution of September 21, 1998 informing the Library Board of its decision regarding the Board's 1998 operation budget and requesting that the Board report back on the manner in which the approval of $1 00,000 over the 1997 base will impact on library services across the municipality. He indicated that the request for $174,966 over the 1997 level was based on past experience plus the annualization of the full year of operation of the Courtice library. This branch's performance has exceeded initial expectations and, as a result, library use has increased by 39 percent. Without the requested increase in municipal funding over the 1997 level, the library would be faced with serious cutbacks in service, ie, less staff to respond to customer requests, fewer books and other materials resulting in longer waiting periods and the closure of all library branches for specific periods of time. Since the initial budget request was submitted, the Library Board has been notified of two important cost savings-the provincial grant has come through at a higher level than the original budget from the province had indicated and OMERS has granted clients a payment "holiday" for the last half of 1998 and into 1999. Also, the Board will be delaying the implementation of its public access internet by two months to reduce the staff costs associated with the initial launch of the service. With these one-time cost savings and the approval of $1 00,000 on September 21, 1998, the library will still face a shortfall of approximately $48,365. Joan Anderson, 4398 Concession Road 8, R.R. #1, Kendal, LOA lEO addressed Council with respect to Report WD-50-98. She questioned the following information in the report: the maintenance of Mast Road; the fact that two previous reports recognized the road as "unimproved not unopened" and the recent opinion that it is a private road; why common law does not prevail in this case over only one lawyer's opinion; and the location of the road.
