Section 20 of the Line Fences Act makes ' municipalities who have purchased federal or provincial railway lines in their entire width responsible for .constructing, keeping up and repairing the fences that mark the lateral boundaries." Although the Line Fences Act permits municipalities to write by-laws setting out the fees, procedures and details of fences provided under the Line Fences Act for disptJtes betweenneighbours, the Municipal Act, s. 98, specifically prohibits a by-law that sets out the same for railway lands. These rules mean that the municipality must absorb all costs related to maintaining existing fences that existed to protect property owners frorn active railways, and recent court rulings have interpreted the legislation to require new fences where none existed before. While there may be some necessary protection from damage to agricultural properties from trail uses on former railway lands, it is unclear why the municipality should pay 100% of the costs for a fence that was not necessary while an active railway line existed. The Ministry will receive comments on this matter until July 29, 2005. .CARRIED" D.

Meetin!:l Minutes -4- July 15, 2005 DELEGATIONS (CONTINUED) " Mr. Otto Provenzano circulated a handout regarding Bowmanville West Main Central Area. Mr. Provenzano has concerns that the big box stores will affect the future downtown Courtice 'area, and that this development will have a major effect on the historical integrity of,the downtown Bowmanville area. Mr. Provenzano asked how Council plans to keep the spirit of Bowmanville's history alive in the downtowh core. Mr. Stan Ste'in gave a presentation regarding Official Plan Amendments No. 43 and No. 44.

COMMUNICATIONS Resolution #C-356-05 Moved by Councinor Foster, seconded by Councillor Pingle THAT Correspondence Items be approved as per the agenda. "CARRIED" D - 1 Eugene Dupuis expressing objections to the rezoning application by AYT Corporation for land on Bennett Road. He states the following three reasons for encouraging Council to refuse this application: 1. the retail proposal by A YT does not meet criteria for development of this land Special Council Meeting Minutes -5- July 15, 2005 2. it does not fit the Planning Department's vision for the gateway to Clarington, which should define what is unique and outstanding about our community 3. it wo'uld result in the absolute destruction of a unique and valuable treed greenspace, few of which will remain in the town's boundaries 25 years from n9w. Big box retailers are sure to come as soon as population density reaches a certain threshold, regardless of where they have to locate. This highly visible gateway'should be protected and zoned to attract industry/ development that wouldn't otherwise invest here. (Advise of actions taken) D - 2 Robert Hann, President, Valiant Property Management writing to dispel incorrect information that has been provided. All of the Demonstration Plans drawn by the Town Consultants are flawed and are not achievable. The bottom line is that Uptown Avenue cannot be projected through the site in a diagonal curvilinear route and still leave sufficient room for the Home Depot. However, the same effect has been achieved in their submitted design. Mr. Hann highlights some of the problems with the demo plans provided just prior to the June 27 Council meeting. He states that Uptown Avenue is not needed and, even if the analysis and peer review are wrong, Uptown Avenue can be built on the existing Town owned Right otWay. Mr. Hann encourages Council to vote to allow that the residents want-their own local Home Depot.

More and more it seems that there is a move to cut programs at Lakeridge Health Port Perry to meet Multi-Site Financial Deficits. The community is concerned that the "critical mass" needed to keep a hospital open is being compromised and as a result very shortly they will hear there is not enough capacity of justify the need for a hospital. Ms. Pearce notes that the following issues should be reviewed: 1. An analysis of how the Hospital Corporation functions including accountability to the public, openness of meetings, sharing of information, election of Board of Directors, need for and use of membership fees. 2. The use of the additional funds forwarded in January of 2005 to Lakeridge Health to "level the playing field for small rural hospitals" and a determination of whether those funds were spent on reaching that goal. 3. Review what is required to ensure "critical mass" of services are being met in a rural hospital, especially those in Multi-Site Urban Corporations, Summary of Correspondence - 4 - September 12, 2005 I - 20 Roger Anderson, President, Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), writing to Mayor Gordon Krantz and Members of Council, Town of Milton, advising that he has received a copy of the resolution passed by Milton Council on June 27, 2005, on the allocation of federal gas tax revenues and the staff report of June 22, 2005. AMO is focusing their efforts in two key areas. First, they are putting in place the necessary elements so funds can flow to municipalities. Second, they are endeavouring to secure federal gas tax revenue sharing as a permanent feature of the federal-municipal fiscal landscape in Ontario. In negotiating the agreement on the allocation of federal gas tax revenue for municipalities, they focused on the elements of the deal that they could influence, and they are very pleased with the results. Key wins for Ontario municipalities include: an entitlement-based allocation rather th<ln an application-based process; the ability to bank funds for up to three years; the ability to use gas tax funds for debt financing; flexibility to use gas tax funds as part of the municipal contribution to other federally funded projects; the ability to invest gas tax funds on road and bridge projects; and, most importantly, a fair and equitable allocation formula based on population. 1-21 Tom Barrie, Chair, Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington, writing to EBR Coordinator, Strategic Policy Branch, advising that the Nutrient Management Regulations were posted to the EBR site on June 24, 2005, with written submissions due by July 24, 2005. This is the busiest 'season for farmers and they will be the most impacted. In his opinion, the demonstrated need for regulation of most farmers is questionable. The continued top-down management approach by the Provincial government is not assisting farmers with the day-to-day realities of running a small (or sometimes large) corporation. 1-22 Noel and Melinda Pitney, advising Council that their son attended the Junior Firefighter Program from July 25 to July 29, 2005, and notes that this program was thoroughly enjoyable, educational and interesting. 1-23 Lakeridge Health, advising Council that three members have been appointed to the Expert Panel.

Microdosimetry is the calculation of the radiation dose to very small ,?olumes of tissue or less than one cell. When ionizing radiation passes through matter it deposits energy by ionizing atoms within molecules and permanent changes to the molecule can result. Most ionizing energy deposited in the body does not cause permanent damage however if the changes occur in a critical molecule like DNA biological effects can result. Biological effects are proportional to the concentration of ionizing energy deposited (Absorbed Dose) usually averaged over the whole organ or tissue. Dave's technical presentation included explanations of: Dose estimation External dosimetry Internal dosimetry Different kinds of ionizing radiation Different radiations have different penetrating power Energy deposition in a cell Relative biological effectiveness Measures of the density of energy deposition Energy deposition in DNA Energy deposition in DNA from an H3 particle lCRP dosimetry and how it works Radiation weighting factors In summary, Dave mentioned the following about Microdosimetry: Mary-Anne Pietrusiak, Epidemiologist for the DRHD, provided a brief update on the progress being made on the research and preparation of the report on Radiation and Health in Durham Region since the last meeting. MaJ')(-Anne reported she is waiting for vital information from other agencies and that has slowep down the completion of the report.

The highlights of the. presentation 'were: 8 Different radiations cause different levels of biological effect for the same Absorbed Dose. . This effect is due to the different density of energy deposition on a scale comparable to the size oflarge molecules.

He suggested that this might be an interesting idea for next year's Earth Day, or a later event. He will talk to Cam McCauley from MNR. , ' , 4. Sub-Committ,ee Updates Special Events The Special Events Sub-committee discussed the possibility of having an event every month, They thought of ideas that were suited to each month; incorporating activities for children and adults. Cathrine presented each event to the Committee. While the Committee thought that most of the ideas were creative and fitting for the area, they were concerned about the events losing their appeal if they were held so frequently. It was suggested that holding an event per season may be more appropriate. The first event has been booked for June 25th. It has been coined "History Tales and Birding Stroll", Sher Leetooze, who is a story teller and has written several books on local history, will be sharing children's stories with accurate historical elements. Diana Piche will be doing a bird walk and talk. This event will be advertised in the Canadian Statesman, the Orono Weekly Times, and the Municipal website. Also, flyers were sent out to the mailing list, the Libraries and distributed to various places in Clarington. It was discussed, for future events, to also advertise using resources such as Rogers and Chex television, and the Wihnot Creek television station. Communications Joe has not started the summer newsletter; however, he has begun gathering ideas, such as a post Earth Day article, an update on capital projects, and a notice for an event to be held in the fall. Peter said he could provide the information on capital projects. Because the Committee will not be meeting throughout the summer, the newsletter will be circulated to members through the mail for comment. It should be ready for the beginning of September. Cathrine will work on getting a sponsor for this edition. 5. Other Business ~ The 'Coastal Wetlands' sign was pulled off its base by vandals, but left on site. Gary Page is working on improving the mounting design. He is also working on something to reduce the signs' attractiveness to birds. He will retrofi't the signs with this new design, as well as reinstall the vandalized sign, when the second 'No Abandoned Fields Here' sign is complete: Lions Memorial Forest The Newcastle Lions have completed the ploughing of the field. They will disc and harrow it in the coming weeks. Operations will then grade the site and install new trails. " , It will be seeded in the fall. Police Patrol Arthur asked about the possibility of having a police officer patrol the area periodically to ward offvandllls/campers/dumpers. The problem with that is that the police aren't out to enforce the Municipal by-laws; however, Don will mention it to Constable Keith Richards. ' Garbage The shingles boxes, which are located a):lOut 500 feet from Toronto Street, and'were, reported in March, are still there, Peter will pass it on to Operations Department. Adjournment: 8:40 P.M. Trees , Jim reported that some of the trees planted along Lake Meadow Trail may not survive. Peter assured Jim that they are under warranty by the contractor and will be replaced if necessary. Duck Boxes Two ofthe duck boxes that were constructed on Earth Day in 2004 have not been located this year, but will need to be cleaned. Mark Peacock of GRCA erected them; however, GRCA has not been in attendance for a few months. Peter will contact the GRCA about having them attend the meetings on a regular basis.

The Order to Restrain requires Mr. Mills to: 1, licence and register the dog with the ClaringtonAnimal Shelter and have the dog permanently identified by microchip implantation; 2. notify the Animal Shelter staff immediately upon relocating the dog or upon transferring ownership of the dog; 3. restrain the dog at all times, while the dog is on its own property, by keeping it enclosed in a pen or other enclosure in such a manner as to prevent the dog from leaving the property and to prevent contact with people and other animals; and 4. restrain the dog at all times, while the dog is off their own property, with the use of a muzzle and a leash no longer than 6 feet and under the care and control of a person who is 16 years of age or older. Mr. Mills and Mr. Savona will addressing Council on September 12, 2005 to address this issue. Interested parties to be advised of Council's decision: Mr. D. Mills Mr. J. Savona '.- Attachment No. 1 to Report CLD-029~05 " To Whom It May Concern; This appeal is in concern with the restraining order placed on my dog, Sandy. ' I live at 10 Saunders Ave. Bowmanville, On. Sandy is a 4 ~ year old Brittany Spaniel. She is the most gentle dog we know. We have 3 children, aged 3, 5, and 6. We are always having friends and fiunily with children stopping in. Sandy has never made any act of aggression or even barked at strangers. She is used to being at the cottage with lots of other people and dogs. The Testraining order states that Sandy bit the mail-man and is now a dangerous offender. She must be muzzled and walked by a person 16 years or older. I have no problem with her being walked by someone 16 or over but am really appealing the muzzle order. My children ride their bikes and I run along with Sandy. The muzzle makes it difficuh for her to go on our long runs. On the day that this incident happened, my Father and I were preparing my driveway to be interlocked. Our mail slot is on the inside door of our house. That door was open. The mail-man opened the screen door and put the mail on the floor. The wooden step that is usually at the door was moved to the other side of the driveway. On one of our trips to the back yard, Sandy must have come too and was under the wooden step. I was using the motorized tamper and did not hear or see what happened. My father said that when the mail man opened the screen door, Sandy came out from under the step and looked like she went up on her hind legs and put her paws on his lower back. We did not know that she had bite him until we were called later. We do not understand what she was thinking. It is so unlike her, she has always been the most gentle dog, never showing any signs of protecting anything from our children to our house. We know she did not hear him coming because of the tamper running and because the wheel-chair ramp was away from the door. We understand that this still should not have happened and she would have normally been in the back yard. We know there must have been times that the mail-man must have opened the door with Sandy in the house with no problems. I really don't know how to explain what happened that day. Everyone is totally shocked, it is definitely not like Sandys character. We're not sure how to handle this appeal or what is expected of us. Please let us know if there is anything else we are to do.

VINCENT HENDRICKS " " " July 3, 2005 To: Mayor John Mutton and Members of Local Council c.c. Councillor Gord Robinson Councillor Charlie Trim RE: Appeal of Order to Restrain #13-2005 issued to Vincent Hendricks As a resident and property owner within Ward 4 of the municipality ofClarington, on June 27"', 2005 I was hand delivered the above-mentioned order pertaining to my dog named Happy. 1 feel strongly that justice is not being carried out for Happy and aiD therefore appealing this order for the following reasons: . The Order to Restrain indicates that my dog "attacked a person on June Sib, 2005." Describing Happy's actions in this way creates a false and erroneous logging of the facts surrounding the incident and completely mischaracterizes Happy as a vicious dog exhibiting predatory aggression. ,. A thorough investigation of the situation involving the dog bite was attempted, but never achieved, by the Animal Services Division. For Council to understand why this Order to Restrain is unfair and undeserved, an accurate account of the incident should/must be chronicled. The following chronicle of events has been compiled from information provided by Mr. Hugh Allin and his daughter, Amy. The Incident: 1. Prior to going away on holiday, I arranged for Happy's former owner, Mr. Hugh Allin, to dog-sit Happy at his farm. Mr. Allin ensured that Happy was properly chained and not allowed to run free at any and all times during her stay. Happy, a 50-pound Australian Shepherd, was chained approximately 500 feet away from Mr. Allin's dog, a large King German Shepherd, a breed that ranges from 90- 150 pounds. The two dogs have been together before without any problems. 2. According to Mr. Allin's daughter, who spoke with us on our return to Newcastle June 13th, 2005, she held a party during the evening and morning hours of June 71b and 8th. Somewhere in the very early hours of the morning of June 81b, the Allin's German Shepherd pulled her restraining peg out of the ground and in an act of aggression, ran over to where Happy was chained and attacked her. We are not, in any way, disputing the fact that the young man was bitten. However, to say that my dog "attacked a person on June S, 2005" is not in keeping with our understanding ofwbat took place, as I hope you will now understand from this appeal. This was simply a case of a good dog caught in a bad situation. , , 3. Happy, still on her chain and under allack, was being beaten Mr. Allin's daughter informed us that she went over to attempt to break up the fight and more than once instructed those present not to intervene. . 4. Though it was dark and he had been told not to do so, the young Irian in que~tion ran over and tried to physically separate the two animals. '~ He unwisely intervened in the middle of a full-fledged dog fight, in which Happy, the smaller dog, remained chained though under attack and in a defensive and survival mode, against a dog bigger than herself. In the fray the young man was bitten. To return to my opening statement, the order gives an erroneous and frankly, false impression of the incident. The Animal Control Officer, herself, told me tIuit no witness returned her messages and requests for information. [She explained to me that she is only able to 'request information but cannot demand that it be provided to her.] Therefore, the information that forms the basis of her report comes solely from the young man and his mother, who was not witness to the incident. . I ask, then, how accUrate can this report be when it was compiled primarily on heresay evidence? To punish Happy in this way would be a miscarriage of justice and may I suggest, not the intent of the law in uestion. I am tberefore requesting tbat tbe order ilSued against my dog, "Hap , e revoked.

The Police report states that Andrew Hill and his friends were playing in the greenspace behind his residence, The boys had tied a rubber hose to a tree in order to swing from it. A resident of 75 Birchfield, his son, and his dog came out to tell the boys to leave. The victim stated that he climbed up .the tree in order to remove the rubber hose from the branches and on his way back down, the dog bit his left leg. The dog owner reports that the dog was on leash at the time of the incident. He further re~orts that he did not think that the dog bit the victim but only scratched him, The owner has supplied documentation that the dog has been vaccinated. Andrew Hill reportedly sustained one deep gash and two puncture wounds on his left leg. Medical attention was sought at the Courtice Health Care Clinic, and stitches were not required.

Hill To whom it may concern, Attachment No. 1 to Report CLD-031-0S I would like to appeal the Order To Restrain (order # 15-2005) served to me by The Municipality OfClarington on Aug 2/05. . My dog, Dawson, WaS involved in an incident on July 26/05 when he jump up on a child 'who was climbing a tree. The child was injured as a result of this jump and it has been reported tg me' from Animal Services that this injury was the result of a bite. I don't feel this incident was by any means an attack. ' I would like to appeal this order due to the following reasons. " I) Dawson is a working sled dog throughout the winter months. This order states that he is to be muzzled and restrained on no more thim a 6' lead at all times when off my property. To put him in ,harness in front ofa sled would extent him beyond the 6' lead as stated in ' the order. As well he would be unable to run any substantia) distance while wearing a' muzzle as this would impede his ability to pant properly and to eat snow on the trail as a means to hydrate himself. 2) Tn the mid to latter part of fall we need to start training for the upcoming sled season. This involves a scooter and Dawson again running in harness in front of the scooter. As stated in the previous example we would incur multiple infractions based on this order. I am terribly sorry that this incident occurred, I will continue to work with Dawson to ensure that something like this neyer happens again, He is not a vicious dog, I am the father of 5 children myself and I would not keep a vicious dog around my children. Dawson has been wearing a muzzle anytime we are out walking since this incident occurred. I have no issues with him wearing a muzzle while out walking, I'm only asking that his abilities as a working sled dog not be impeded. Thank you for taking the time to look into this matter. , ~~Vlr";" Robert McLachlan Courtice, On!.

While camping with neighbouis, Steve and Chris Harding and three other couples, the Hardings dog Murphy was startled by one of the other couples six year old daughter which resulted in an injury to the little girls face. As I didn't witness the incident I can't say exactly what happened other than the fact that the dog was leashed to a chair that was situated around the campfire. Steve, the dogs owner; and I were sitting at the campfire talking as everyone else was off doing something else. The little girls father was off cutting wood and the mother was offnear her tent and all the children were off playing. ' Sincerely, 47'4 ;;~ " " ~ '1ICU\. ~ cJ~c.J\-..- August 10, 2005 , To Whom it May Concern: In regards to our neighbours dog, Murphy, owned by Chris and Steve Harding: In the twelve y,ears that Murphy has lived next door I have never seen any signs of aggression in her. She has been a we,ll behaved dog who has been socialized well. For years Chris and Steve have been able to have her in the front yard with them and she always just lies calmly watching all the activity around her. People have always commented on their way by about how good a dog she is. On occasion when Steve or Chris have had to be away for the day I have gone over and let Murphy out and have never had any concerns about it. On the August long weekend in question my husband and I were camping at Darlington with our neighbours and some other couples. We had just fInished dinner and I had been in the dining tent doing up the dishes. I had observed that Murphy was lying sleeping just outside the tent and that her lead was wrapped a couple oftimes around the chair but as she was content am;! sleeping I didn't unwrap it. Unfortunately I didn't see exactly what happened as I had just gone to durnp out my dishwater.' The fIrst thing I observed was Murphy still lying on the same spot on the ground and the little girl, Meagan down on her hands and knees in obvious distress. Steve immediately went over and leaned down with Murphy as Meagan's parents attended to her. I truly believe that this was not a vicious attack by any means and that either Meagan leaned on Murphy's paw or startled Murphy when she was asleep. Throughout the course of the weekend I noticed that on numerous occasions Meagan's parents allowed their one year old daughter to crawl unattended all around the campsite and Chris or Steve would move Murphy away so that the baby wouldn't bother her. Even around home they always get down with Murphy if a child approaches to pet her, just because they are responsible pet owners. I believe it was just an unfortunate accident and that parents need to teach their children how to behave around dogs. Sincerely, J'Nan Yateman A .,~ Lt-6-.

I would like to give a brief history. Murphy is a 12 year old Collie, who has recently been involved in a situation where she was startled by a stranger while sleeping and nipped. and young girl. My son Se;m 7 and Jillian 5 years old, are playmates and friends' and have been together in the Harding's home and backyard where, ,"Murphy" is. My son has in the past and still does have a fear of dogs but with "Murphy" he has never had a problem, "Murphy" is always with either Steve or Chris and she has never gone out of her way to go near the children. My son is now to the point where he can pet her and not be afraid. "Murphy" is a very gentle dog and I have no worries about having her in our home with my son or in our backyard when the children are playing. I have watched "Murphy" with Jillian and other children for awhile now and I can't get over how good "Murphy" is with them. These children are very active and 'very fast, but "Murphy" has never been bothered by that. I have no concerns about the children around her or for myself as I know Steve and Chris are very responsible and caring people. August 24, 2005 To Whom It May Concern: Sincerely, ~ 0>_advJi; Kell~ Grady. ' 905- - _c.,.;~ ]1, BONNIE AND IRWIN COLWELL Bowmanville, Ontario ., (905) I"~ August 16, 2005 To Whom It May Concern: This letter is written in support of the dog, named "Murphy", family pet of Chris and Steve Harding. We have known "Murphy" and she has been at our home on many occasions over the past 10 years. "Murphy" has always had a quiet disposition and a good temperament when she is around people, neighlJOurhood children and this is especially evident with Chris and Steve's daughter JilIian (age five). We have not seen the dog show any aggressive type of behaviour to people or other animals that she comes in Contact with. We would certainly not hesitate to be in the dog's company in the future.
