Doug Morse appeared before Council regarding Report PSD-111-05. He advised that
his family resides on Murphy Road and that he would like to address two matters
pertaining to the proposed application submitted by 1559300 Ontario Limited (Ron
Robinson Ltd.) to expand a mineral aggregate operation, i.e.:
1. expansion of the aggregate; and
2. entrance onto Murphy Road.
Since the pit has begun operation there has been an increase in garbage, excessive
noise early in the morning and the loss of wildlife. He advised that the Oak Ridges
Moraine is a highly protected area and it is being affected by the gravel pit operation.
The entrance of the Kovac's pit is located on Murphy Road and that Murphy Road is a
gravel road with no sidewalks, causing a dangerous situation. Mr. Morse stated that
the gravel pit is not an asset due to the cost of repairing the road and the damages to
the environment.
Janet Ralston appeared before Council in opposition to Report PSD-111-05. Ms.
Ralston lives on Regional Road 20, which is directly beside the pit. She advised that if
this application is approved her house will be totally surrounded by gravel pits. When
her family moved into their home all the gavel pits were not in use and she thought
that the land and wildlife would be protected. She quoted sections of the Oak Ridges
Moraine Plan and its vision, stating that the vision is beautiful but if the expansion is
approved the vision will be lost.

John R. OToole, MPP, Durham, writing to the Honourable Dalton
McGuinty, Premier of Ontario, regarding the GTA/905 Healthcare
Alliance. In this letter, Tariq Asmi, Executive Director writes about the
importance of applying the standards of fairness and equity to all
aspects of government decision-making. However, there is clearly an
inequity in funding for healthcare services in four 905-area Regions.
(Namely Durham, Halton, Peel and York) Mr. O'Toole is requesting the
Premier's immediate attention on this matter.
Federation of Canadian Municipalities, advising that the Canadian Red
Cross (CRC) has made the following suggestions to Canadian
municipalities offering support to the Gulf Coast Emergency:
1.
Persons experienced in shelter operations and in emergency
management are needed now. Local offices of the CRC should
be contacted.
The CRC can offer training to volunteers who have not already
been through their programs.
Deployments to relief assignments of the American Red Cross
are generally three weeks in length, with employers expected to
cover their employees' salary and benefits while on assignment.
Direct on the ground expenses can be covered by the Red Cross
if necessary.
This is a hardship assignment requiring persons in good health.
A detailed advance briefing would be provided by the CRC.
Offers of financial support can be directed to local officers of the
CRC.

P.M. Madill, Regional Clerk, Region of Durham, writing to Ms. E.
Dowdeswell, President, Nuclear Waste Management Organization,
advising that Regional Council on September 7, 2005, approved the
following resolution:
"a) THAT the following recommendations, comments and contents of
Report #2005-P-62 of the Commissioner of Planning be
forwarded to the Nuclear Waste Management Organization
(NWMO), as Durham Region's response to the draft Discussion
Document entitled 'Choosing a Way Forward - The Future
Management of Canada's Used Nuclear Fuel':
i)
The long-term management approach - Adaptive Phased
Management (APM) - presented by NWMO provides a
reasonable solution for Canada's nuclear fuel waste,
however the details of actual implementation remain a
concern;
Council Meeting Minutes
-5.
September 26, 2005
-- COMMUNICATIONS
ii) The Adaptive Phased Management (APM) approach
addresses many of the concerns that were previously
expressed by the Region. Most importantly, the need to
remove nuclear waste from existing reactor sites away
from large and growing urban centres and the Lake
Ontario drinking water supply, is recognized by the
proposed APM approach. Nevertheless, the potential for
the nuclear waste to remain at Durham's existing reactor
sites as the permanent solution however, is still a concern.
NWMO must restructure the APM approach to ensure
there are firm timelines for decision-making, based on
specific options;
iii) If a willing host community if found, the community and
communities along transportation routes, need to be
provided certainty of the nature, type and timing of facilities
that will be constructed. The proposed APM approach
does not provide specific timelines for making the decision
of whether or not to construct an interim storage facility;
......
iv)
Should the Federal government approve the APM
approach, it should concurrently approve the concept of a
centralized shallow interim storage facility. This will
significantly reduce the community impacts, added risks,
and costs associated with improved security, repackaging
used nuclear fuel, and refurbishing existing reactor
facilities;
v) The NWMO must strongly urge the Federal government to
make a decision on the long-term management approach
for Canada's nuclear waste as expeditiously as possible,
so that the burden of deciding how and where to manage
nuclear waste is not passed onto future generations. The
decisions of the Federal government will form a
fundamental component of broader energy policy decisions
that will be facing Provincial and Federal governments in
the next decade;
--
Council Meeting Minutes
-6-
September 26, 2005
-- COMMUNICATIONS
vi) The Province of Ontario has to make future energy supply
decisions in the very near future, which may include the
need to construct or expand nuclear capacity. As such,
NWMO must emphasize the urgency to the Federal
government to make a decision on Canada's long-term
management approach for nuclear waste, before any more
decisions are made to construct new or expand nuclear
power plants;
vii) The transportation of nuclear waste to a centralized site
will be a significant issue, affecting current nuclear host
communities, adjacent communities and communities
along the transportation routes. Therefore, it is critical that
NWMO include in its final Discussion Document the need
to prepare a transportation plan (which should include
defined modes, routes, community impacts, security/safety
measures and associated risks, etc.), as an integral
component of its future siting process and public
consultation program;
......
viii) The proposed APM approach includes monitoring the
nuclear waste while it is in the central interim storage
facility and the deep repository. The NWMO should
indicate what actions might be taken if the monitoring
results are not technically favourable, or unacceptable to
stakeholder groups and affected communities;
ix) Should the Federal government approve the APM
approach as presented in the draft Discussion Document,
it is requested that, as a safeguard, more stringent
monitoring practices be implemented at existing reactor
facilities, especially as they age;
xi)
Existing nuclear host communities will continue to be
impacted by any long-term management approach for
nuclear fuel waste for many decades. Accordingly, the
NWMO must include in the final Discussion Document, a
new section which clarifies the roles and responsibilities of
the ownerslproducers of nuclear waste versus NWMO that
is consistent with the Nuclear Fuel Waste Act and the
principle of 'polluter pays'. This is needed to address the
full impacts on nuclear host communities in implementing
the APM approach. In this regard, NWMO should consider
the timelines for the decommissioning of reactor plants as
a factor;

xii) The issue of compensation, financial or otherwise, for
current nuclear host communities and communities in
close proximity to reactor sites is not included in the draft
Discussion Document. NWMO's recommendation will
potentially require the storage of nuclear waste at existing
reactor sites for an extended period of time beyond what
was originally thought. Accordingly, NWMO should
address compensation, based on potential impacts and
risks in implementing the recommended approach,
including costs associated with emergency preparedness,
security measures, municipal infrastructure (roads, water,
sewer etc.) and community impacts; and
--
xiii) Whether used nuclear waste remains on site in Durham
Region in the interim, or is transported to a centralized site
outside of Durham, the Region should continue to have an
ongoing, long-term role in future decisions regarding the
nuclear waste management strategy. This would allow the
Region to preserve opportunities for additional financial
compensation in the event the nuclear waste management
approach is modified;
b) THAT the Federal Minister of Natural Resources, the Honourable
R. John Efford, be requested to expedite a decision on Canada's
long-term management approach for used nuclear fuel waste;
c) THAT the peer review comments on NWMO's draft Discussion
Document, prepared by Acres-Sargent & Lundy (on behalf of the
Canadian Association of Nuclear Host Communities) and Robert
Gadsby (on behalf of the Town of Ajax), be endorsed; and
d) THAT a copy of Report #2005-P-62 of the Commissioner of
Planning be forwarded to the Nuclear Waste Management
Organization, the area municipalities, the Federal Minister of
Natural Resources, Durham's MPs and MPPs, and the Canadian
Association of Nuclear Host Communities."

1-3 John OToole, MPP, Durham, writing to the Honourable Laurel Broten,
Minister of the Environment, advising that the following resolution was
adopted by the Region of Durham's Council on June 15, 2005:
'-
"a) THAT the Minister of the Environment be requested to develop an
environmentally friendly but cost effective means of disposing
abandoned tires, including modifying the current EA Regulations
to permit cement plant facilities to allow the use of unwanted tires
as an alternate fuel source as:
i) unwanted tires can be an environmental hazard, as well as
a health hazard for such things as providing breeding
grounds for the West Nile Virus;
ii)
farm properties often become a refuge for a large number
of abandoned tires;

iji) tires are not permitted in landfill sites;
iv) it is legal to burn tires under controlled conditions in places
outside of Ontario, for example in cement plant kilns;
v) the steel in tires eliminates the need to use a steel additive
in the making of cement; and
vi) it has been proven, on a trail basis at St. Mary's Cement,
that tires are a cleaner burning fuel than coal, which is
typically burned, and provides energy at a consistent level
in the cement facilities; and
b) THAT this resolution be circulated to the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture (OFA), Durham Federation of Agriculture, The
Christian Farms Federation of Ontario, the National Farmers
Union of Ontario, the Rural Ontario Municipalities Association, the
Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), and all local
MPP's for support."

Township of North Frontenac, advising Council that the Township of
North Frontenac passed the following resolution:
"WHEREAS all municipalities in the Province of Ontario are links in the
broader chain of government and that this chain is only as strong as the
weakest links, the majority of which are the smallest rural municipalities
with populations under 10,000 people;
AND WHEREAS the level of investment to support infrastructure and
economic development in the smallest rural municipalities cannot be
reasonably sustained by the property tax yield;
AND WHEREAS these fundamental infrastructure needs necessary to
support economic development include road and bridge maintenance,
construction and reconstruction; the establishment and maintenance of
communications facilities; the sustainability of municipal buildings; and
the provision of safe water, waste water and waste management
facilities;
AND WHEREAS all municipalities are required to deliver and fund social
programs mandated by the provincial government through the same
property tax yield that compete with these significant infrastructure
needs;
AND WHEREAS the current federal/provincial programs (e.g. per capita
gas-tax rebates, COMRIF, EODF, etc.) directed at "small municipalities"
with populations of 500,000,250,000,200,000 or less provide the
smallest rural municipalities (less than 10,000 people) with inadequate
financial capacity, even when banded over several years, to provide
meaningful infrastructure improvements or economic development
opportunities;
AND WHEREAS the smallest rural municipalities comprise more than 61
percent (per Appendix A) of the total number (445) of municipalities in
Ontario; continue to get less and less of the share of the pot; and get
poorer and poorer relative to urban, semi-urban and rural-urban areas of
the province;
Council Meeting Minutes

September 26, 2005
-- COMMUNICATIONS
AND WHEREAS the year-round populations of many of the smallest
rural municipalities are typically augmented several times by the regular
influx of seasonal residents, which fact adds pressure to already
inadequate infrastructure and commercial bases;
AND WHEREAS the establishment of a sliding funding scale (per
Appendix A) inversely proportionate to those municipalities with the least
populations would ensure that the smallest rural municipalities would be
able to operate, compete, grow and prosper;
AND WHEREAS, to be fair and equitable, this funding scale should be
recognized and applied prior to the calculation of any additional per
capita or other formulas that may pertain to new federal and/or provincial
funding initiatives in respect of municipalities;
--
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that until such time as the
Government of the Province of Ontario removes the obligation of funding
the many social programs through the municipal property tax base, the
Township of North Frontenac recommends that the Government
immediately develops and institutes, for the smallest rural municipalities,
minimum capital program funding thresholds (per Appendix A) that are
inversely proportionate to their permanent and non-permanent
populations;
AND FURTHER that all Ontario Municipalities endorse these
recommendations through their respective Councils and respond to the
Association of Municipalities of Ontario; to the Ministry of Municipal
Affairs and Housing; to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural
Affairs; to their local Members of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario; to
Her Majesty's Leaders of the Opposition in the Province of Ontario; and
