"CARRIED" Council Minutes . DELEGATIONS . . - 2 - June 9, 1997 Sandy Archibald, 6275 Liberty Street North, Bowmanville, LlC 3K6, advised that the Durham Farm Fresh Marketing Association and the Tourism Association of Durham Region have joined forces to organize "The Durham Countryside Adventure" September 13 and 14, 1997. Their mission is to provide an experience in Durham's unique country and culture. The group's vision is to eventually open involvement to all area municipalities within Durham Region, however, with the leftover momentum from the Great Ganaraska Countryside Adventure resting in this area, it made sense for Clarington to be the focus of the Durham Countryside Adventure for 1997. Mrs. Archibald requested that the municipality show their support for this tourism initiative by granting $5,000 to be used for promotion. In appreciation of this support, a full page "Welcome to Clarington" will be placed in the publication and tickets will be made available for the Mayor and Members of Council. Norm Leigh, Manager of Business and Development, Regional Municipality of Durham, addressed Council with respect to the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance, a joint venture of Greater Toronto Municipalities in partnership with the Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade. By including the private sector partnerships, marketing and management expertise will be brought to the area without duplication of existing work being undertaken by municipalities. Mr. Leigh requested that the Municipality of Clarington provide funding to this venture in the amount of $8,000 for 1997. Kevin Holmes, 82 Sherwood Road East, Ajax, Ll T 2Z2, addressed Council on behalf of Henry Kortekaas, with respect to the Rezoning Application submitted by Mr. Tomina for his property located at Hancock Road and Highway #2. Mr. Holmes indicated that a great many of the issues have been resolved, however, the implementation of the drainage plan is still outstanding. He indicated that this is costly and, even upon completion, approval of the project is not guaranteed. He requested that Council reconsider its position of requiring drainage to be complete prior to approval of the project. Councillor Elliott made a declaration of interest with respect to the delegation of Jack Munday and vacated his chair. Councillor Elliott indicated that he is a member of the Lions Club and has worked closely with John Rice in the preparation of his submission for an Older Adults Centre. Jack Munday, 145 High Street, Bowmanville, L1C 3B9, addressed Council on behalf of the Bowmanville Lions Club. He stated that the Lions Club was disappointed with the General Purpose and Administration Committee's decision of June 2, 1997 and also with the treatment they have received from the Older Adults Committee. Mr. Munday stated that by locating the Older Adult Centre at the Lions Centre, the Committee would be gaining more space, more parking, mature trees and a much quieter space than if it was to locate on the Rice property on Scugog Street. Mr. Munday also informed Council that with the decrease in revenue-generating functions, together with increased costs, the Lions will be in a position where they will need to sell their facility within two years. . . . Council Minutes DELEGATIONS - 3 - June 9, 1997 Ron Hooper, Bowmanville Business Improvement Area,S Silver Street, Bowmanville, L1C 3C2, addressed Council with respect to Report WD-36-97 - Canada/Ontario Infrastructure Works Extension. Mr. Hooper advised that the approval of the recommendations contained in this report, will assist with the revitalization program which has been envisioned for the Bowmanville B.I.A. Councillor Elliott made a declaration of interest with respect to the delegation of Don Welsh and vacated his chair. Councillor Elliott indicated that he is a member of the Bowmanville Lions Club and he has worked closely with John Rice in preparing his proposal for the Older Adult Centre. Don Welsh, 4280 Mearns Avenue, Bowmanville, L1C 3K5, addressed Council with respect to Report ADMIN-26-97. He requested that Council approve the submission by John Rice and Daros Investments for the establishment of an Older Adult Centre and provided details of monies paid to the Bowmanville Lions Centre for use of that facility in the past. Councillor Dreslinski made a declaration of interest with respect to the delegations of Clay Taylor and Debbie Pearl and vacated her chair. Councillor Dreslinski indicated that her son is employed by International Motorsports Group Inc. Clay Taylor, President, North Clarington Ratepayers Association, P.O. Box 346, Orono, LOB 1MO, addressed Council in support of the recommendations contained in the Addendum to Report CD-26-97. He stated that he believes that more studies would be useless at this time and he looks forward to working with IMSG in making their season a success. Debbie Pearl, Vice-President and CFO, International Motorsports Group Inc., 65 Queen Street West, Suite 1000, Toronto, M5H 2M5, addressed Council with respect to Addendum to Report CD-26-97. She introduced John Coulter, Sound Engineer, and advised that they have not had a great deal of time to assess the proposed by-law amendments, particularly in the manner in which the by-laws will affect their core business, of the road course. She stated that they require time to ensure that the by-law will not impact on that core business as they want to bring Mosport back to the world class standard it once enjoyed. It is their opinion that the by-law is missing some very important issues and the restrictions are prohibitive. Ms. Pearl requested that Council not pass the by-laws at this time and allow Mosport an opportunity to pull together a plan of how they can move forward with their planned activities.
