MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETINGS PUBLIC MEETING Resolution #C-841-96 Moved by Councillor Pingle, seconded by Councillor Scott THAT the minutes of a regular meeting of Council held on November 11, 1996, be approved. "CARRIED" A public meeting was held for the purpose of passing By-law 96-197, being a by-law to close and convey the unopened portion of King Street in the Hamlet of Kendal, former Clarke Township, described as Part 2, Plan 40R-14432. There was no one present to address Council with respect to this matter. . Council Minutes DELEGATIONS . . - 2- November 25, 1996 Frank Simpson and Neil Smith appeared before Council on behalf of the Tyrone Community Centre to introduce the proposed Expansion Program for Tyrone Park. Mr. Simpson explained the history of the Tyrone Community Centre as well as the present and anticipated usage of the park. He outlined some problems being encountered with the playground being located too close to the parking lot, growing population with increasing demands on the facilities, soccer pitch con!licting with the senior ball diamond during ball games, insufficient parking and no area for sports such as inline skating and basketball. The Association has devised a plan for improvements to the park with a phased implementation. The group is targeting a starting date of 1997. Mr. Simpson requested that Council provide financial support as the fundraising in Phase I will be difficult. The Hon. Michael Starr, P.C., Honourary President and Fred Ball, Oshawa District Council, addressed Council with respect to recent and future development at Camp Samac. The Hon. Michael Starr stated that Camp Samac is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and renovations of the buildings and property is being undertaken. Fred Ball, Chairman, Campaign Committee, requested that Council participate in the renovation of the camp. He stated that the facilities are used by young people throughout Durham Region, with 50% of the patrons being from Oshawa and the remainder from Whitby and Clarington. David Ashcroft, President, Port Darlington Community Association, Group 5, Box 36, R.R #2, Bowmanville, LlC 3K3, addressed Council with respect to Report WD-39-96 (Item #16 of Report #1). He questioned that if the Municipality should decline acquisition of the Graham and Bowmanville Creek Harbour Mouths, will the community be held at ransom in the future by whomever does acquire the properties as this area has the potential to be a gem in the crown of the Municipality. The Association asks that the Council study the issue very carefully while accumulating input from private individuals and organizations within the community as well as acquiring expertise from other municipalities that have acquired similar properties. Erskine Duncan, 27 Boulton Street, RR #8, Newcastle, LlB 1L9, advised prior to the meeting that he would not be in attendance. Lynda MacGregor, 40 Boulton Street, RR #8, Newcastle, LIB 1L9, addressed Council on behalf of the Bondhead Community Association. She indicated that the Association understands the recommendations contained in Report WD-39-96 (Item #16 of Report #1), but questioned whether the Municipality is willing to be pro-active and commit to obtaining the harbour mouths at this time. The Association strongly supports the acquisition of the lands but not the "all or nothing" attitude. If it is possible to acquire one of the harbour mouths, the Association would like Council to take that option. Mrs. MacGregor stated that this is a golden opportunity to demonstrate the Municipality's support of obtaining waterfront property as is outlined in the Official Plan. It may be necessary to sort out the issue of access once the property is acquired. The Association is urging that Council take a more positive stand and commit to acquiring these lands. . Council Minutes DELEGATIONS . . - 3- November 25, 1996 Peter Mitchell, Oshawa/Clarington Chamber of Commerce, 50 Richmond Street East, Oshawa, L1G 7C7, addressed Council with respect to the Addendum to Report ADMIN-29-96 (Unfinished Business). He advised Council that the initiative put forth by the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance is about the creation of jobs. This is still a work in progress and stressed that Clarington's support in principle is vitally important. Linda Gasser, P.O. Box 379, Orono, LOB 1MO, addressed Council with respect to Report CD-56-96 (Item #10 of Report #1). Mrs. Gasser questioned the appointment of Councillor Mary Novak to the Animal Control Advisory Committee when in fact, Councillors Pingle and Scott were more in support of the formation of the Committee. She stated that Council and staff should make available to the Committee the rules and protocol which will be followed during the meetings so that the Committee is not surprised by any procedural matters. Mrs. Gasser also addressed Report CD-57-96 (Item #11 of Report #1). She questioned the reasoning behind selling dog licences door-to-door and requested that the report be referred to the Animal Advisory Committee for additional input. Pauline Storks, 11 King Street East, Newcastle, LIB 1H3, advised prior to the meeting that she would not be in attendance. David Lawson, 111 Cedarcrest Beach Road, Box 44, Bowmanville, L1C 3K3, addressed Council with respect to Report WD-39-96 (Item #16 of Report #1). Mr. Lawson indicated that along the north shore of Lake Ontario, there are in excess of 400 harbours and piers, some of which municipalities have improved and secured. He advised that people travel from afar to enjoy the excellent recreational oppottunities available at the harbours located in Durham Region. Mr. Lawson stated that Report WD-39-96 is written in a negative tone and requested that the report be reconsidered and Council consider the purchase of the breakwaters to be an opportunity rather than a responsibility to the Municipality. He suggested that Council consider the purchase of the Graham Harbour Mouth separate from the Bowmnville Harbour Mouth and to in fact use the Graham Harbour Mouth as a stepping stone to purchasing the Bowmanville Harbour Mouth. Don Welsh, RR #4,4280 Mearns Avenue, Bowmanville, LIe 3K5, addressed Council on behalf of the Older Adults Committee with respect to Report ADMIN-33-96 (Report #2). Mr. Welsh indicated the Committee's concurrence with the recommendations contained in the report, in particular Council's reaffirmation of its commitment to the Seniors' Centre. Gerard Gervais, Dekkema Gervais Development Corporation, Parkway Corporate Centre, 100 Allstate Parkway, Suite 501, Markham, L3R 6H3, addressed Council with respect to Report ADMIN-33-96 (Report #2). Mr. Gervais indicated that he could support the recommendations contained in the report if Council amended them slightly to refer only to the Scugog Street Site. He stated that Vanstone Mills Inc. is the holder of property fronting onto King Street and he is confident that the building which has been designed for the Scugog Street location could be modified to fit on this other piece of property. . . . Council Minutes DELEGATIONS COMMUNICATIONS - 4 - November 25, 1996 Victoria Gerling, Vice-Chairman of the Board, Bowmanville Memorial Hospital, 47 Liberty St. S., Bowmanville, LlC 2N4, addressed Council on behalf of Steve Wilson, with respect to Report TR-88-96 (Item #13 of Report #1). She requested that Council reconsider the recommendations put forth as Memorial Hospital Bowmanville tendered to lease space in the Courtice Community Complex based on the need for extra space for family physicians within the Municipality. She stated that the presence of physicians in this area would assist all ages and the hospital is prepared to enter into a 10 year lease. The Municipality would benefit from this as the tender being recommended for acceptance does not offer service to all residents and could, in fact, result in a failed commercial enterprise. Ms. Gerling questioned whether there was a level playing field for all tender submissions. Sgl. Kevin Slaney, Police Co-Ordinator, Durham Regional CRIMESTOPPERS, advised prior to the meeting that he would not be in attendance.
