Dave Clark, Clarington Hydro-Electric Commission, together with Chris Bieber,
Central Ontario Electric, presented the Durham Utilities Group Feasibility Study
for Retail System Restructuring. They indicated that the MacDonald Advisory
Committee recommended a considerable amount of amalgamation in the
distribution of electric power in order to achieve efficiencies of scale. The
government is strongly encouraging amalgamation studies and the prospect of
retail competition demanding new business structure that can deal with the
wholesale buying and retail marketing of electricity. The study highlights
amalgamation of the eight municipal electric utilities within Durham Region in
1998 and expansion into the Ontario Hydro retail system in 2001. The average
savings, by way of rate reduction and amalgamation dividends, will amount to
1.9% recognizing an annual savings of approximately $5 million. Mr. Clark and
Mr. Bieber requested Council's endorsement of the Feasibility Study.
Barry James, Livestock Valuer for the Municipality of Clarington, advised Council
that the increase in livestock claims is due to the rapid increase in wolf
population and the resulting disappearance of groundhogs and rabbits. As sheep
are easy targets for wolves, and Clarington is home to some of the largest sheep
producers in Ontario, the Municipality is a "hot spot" for wolf kills. Mr. James
stated that in areas where electric fencing is installed, very few animals are lost to
wolves. Rather than having the Province compensate for wolf damage, he would
like to see a subsidy put in place for predator-proof fencing.
Douglas Markoff, Douglas Botanical Park and Nature Centre, 154 Aylesworth
Avenue, Scarborough, M1N 2J6, addressed Council with respect to Report
ADMIN-8-97. Mr. Markoff suggested that the Municipality purchase this
property and then lease it to a viable business operation. Cost of the lease would
offset the land costs and, therefore, public monies would not be used for the
purchase. He suggested that an offer could be submitted to the Ontario Realty
Corporation, conditional upon a viable business plan coming forward for the
property. He suggested also that the Municipality attempt to negotiate a lower
price for the lands and use other reserve funds than the parkland reserve.
Mr. Markoff stressed that this is an opportunity for the Municipality to develop a
botanical garden which would have tangible long term economic value to the
Municipality. It is a step which is good for the Municipality, the land, education,
arts and culture, children and the future.
Gail Krantzberg, 40 St. Clair Avenue West, Toronto, M4V 3C3, indicated
concurrence with the comments of Douglas Markoff. She stated that urbanization
is encroaching on green space and pressure on farmland will increase in the
future. The purchase of the Orono Nursery is an opportunity to preserve some of
the agricultural land within the Municipality as is mandated in the Official Plan.
It is her hope that the Municipality is a partner with whatever business venture
comes forward for the property.

Leah Houston, 137 Cedarcrest Beach Road, Bowmanville, L1C 3K3, addressed
Council in opposition to the recommendations contained in Report
ADMIN-1l-97. In her opinion, the Westside Creek Marsh is being treated as a
commodity with a dollar value being placed upon it. She indicated that this is
one of the healthiest and most interesting wetlands in the Province and at this
point no one can say for sure that the proposed plan will not hurt these wetlands.
At this time, the best decision would be to make no decision. She questioned
whether the new owners of St. Marys will honour commitments which have
already been made.
Maurice Nimigon, 280 King Street East, Bowmanville, LIC 1P9, advised Council
that he has spoken with numerous municipalities regarding livestock claims and
has determined that the amounts paid out by Clarington are extreme. In speaking
with Manvers Township, it was determined that veterinarians had been appointed
as their livestock valuers. In so doing, the vets can determine whether the
animals died from natural causes or were killed by wolves. Since this practice was
put into place, Manvers Township has decreased their livestock claims by
approximately 50%. He urged Council to look into this method of appointments.
Jacqueline Lake, 254 Baldwin Street, Newcastle, LIB 1C1, addressed Council on
behalf of residents of Clarke and Baldwin Streets and concerned citizens residing
south of Highway 401 in Newcastle. She questioned whether the proponents of
the subdivision in that area will be required to widen the underpath or find an
alternative access route as Bramalea Limited was required to do. Also, she
questioned whether approval has been received from the Ganaraska Region
Conservation Authority to develop a road on the environmentally protected lands.
Dr. John Campbell addressed Council with respect to the same matter and voiced
concerns over the timing of the meeting which Council directed take place
between the developer, residents and staff of the Planning and Development
Department.
Don Welsh, 4280 Mearns Avenue, Bowmanville, L1C 3K5, addressed Council on
behalf of Durham Federation of Agriculture, and indicated concurrence with the
Woodlot Preservation By-law as outlined in Addendum to Report PD-31-97.
K. Dehaas, 83 Cedarcrest Beach Road, Bowmanville, L1C 3K3, requested
Council's assistance in alleviating the problem of individuals parking on the
vacant lot adjacent to his property at all hours of the night.
Resolution #C-236-97
