Barrie DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST There were no declarations of interest made at this meeting. Mayor Hamre advised Council that the Municipality has been presented with a certificate from St. Stephen's Secondary School recognizing their support of Take Our Kids to Work 1995. MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETINGS Resolution #C-883-95 Moved by Councillor Pingle, seconded by Councillor Novak THAT the minutes of a regular meeting of Council held on November 27, 1995, be approved; and THAT the minutes of a special meeting of Council held on December 4, 1995, be approved. "CARRIED" . . . Council Minutes PUBLIC MEETING - 2 - December 11, 1995 Mayor Hamre announced that a public meeting will be held to discuss the proposed Clarington Hydro-Electric Commission Boundary Expansion. She indicated that Council would first hear from those in objection to the proposal, then those in support and then Clarington Hydro and Ontario Hydro would be drawn by lot to determine who would address Council first. Bob Peters, 51 Potters Lane, Enniskillen, LOB 1HO, indicated that he presently receives a good level of service from Ontario Hydro with minimal power outages. He questioned the wisdom of entering into the amount of debt required for the expansion and urged that Council not rely on one study alone. D. Hartford, 19 Saunders Avenue, Bowmanville, L1C 3Y4, an employee of Ontario Hydro, questioned why it is necessary for all residents to pay the same rate for their hydro. He is concerned that the takeover will cost more than anticipated and the debt will take longer to payoff. He questioned whether competition is all that bad and whether Council believes that service from one supplier will be better than from competitors. Cliff Derby, 2064 Nash Road, Bowmanville, LIE 2M2, an employee of Ontario Hydro for the past 24 years, stated that the Ontario Hydro employees are a credit to the Municipality. He cannot believe that Council would want to borrow over $20 million at this time for the takeover. Brian Burtis, 6 Shoreview Court, Bowmanville, L1C 3V2, advised Council that in Innisfil, where the Public Utilities Commission expanded its boundaries, the ratepayers were told of a decrease, which in reality they did not receive, and, in fact, the rates went up for local businesses, some as much as 100%. He questioned, with the amount of money that would be borrowed to effect the takeover, how can the municipality receive a decrease. John Stephenson, 5300 Old Scugog Road, Hampton, LOB lJO, stated that he receives excellent service from Ontario Hydro and cannot see the sense in borrowing $20 million in these political times. Boyd Knox, R.R. #1, Orono, LOB 1MO, indicated that he is presently an Ontario Hydro employee but was formerly employed by the Clarington Hydro Electric Commission. He stated that Ontario Hydro provides a comparable service to the Hydro Commission and it is ludicrous to spend $20 million when in fact all that will be happening is the stickers on the trucks will be changed. Jack Locke, 10 Maryleah Court, Bowmanville, LIC 4H4, indicated that he is associated with the services of both Ontario Hydro, at his home, and Clarington Hydro-Electric Commission, at his business, and stated that both services are very good. He indicated that it is not wise at this political time to borrow the amount of money necessary for the expansion. Also, it is difficult for him to believe that costs will in fact decrease. Mr. Locke feels that competitiveness between the two services is good for the municipality. . . . Council Minutes PUBLIC MEETING - 3- December 11, 1995 Bill Newby, 71 Cove Road, Newcastle, LIB 1B6, a resident of Wilmot Creek, indicated that the residents of Wilmot Creek are concerned about the debenture of $20 million and stated that they do not want their taxes raised. Ron Robinson, Oshawa Durham Homebuilders Association, P.O. Box 260, 64 King Street East, Oshawa, L1H 1CO, indicated that an expansion of the Clarington Hydro-Electric Commission's boundaries places developers and new home purchasers in a poor situation as Ontario Hydro does not presently charge levlevies. He stated that the new U2 rate which is being charged by Ontario Hydro has brought the hydro rates in the Courtice area in line with other areas. Jim Hisson, 4146 Concession Road 4, Orono, LOB 1MO, advised that he is a very satisfied customer who has been receiving exemplary service from Ontario Hydro and he questions how the Clarington Hydro-Electric Commission expects to give just as good a service. Charlie Trim, 3 Edsall Avenue, Bowmanville, L1C 2A7, addressed Council on behalf of Goodyear, the biggest customer of the Clarington Hydro-Electric Commission. He stated that his company has no complaints with the service received from Clarington Hydro, however, he advised that the timing is not correct and the management of Goodyear feels there is no reason to proceed with this expansion. Brent Neill, 4 Wrenn Blvd., Bowmanville, LIC 4N2, stated that in these changing economic times the boundary expansion does not make sense. Mohammed Kaka, 2075 Concession 4, Orono, LOB 1MO, advised that an increase in hydro rates would have an ill effect on him and he feels the timing is not right for the boundary expansion. Rob McGlashan, 33 Fieldcrest Avenue, Courtice, LIE 2X3, indicated that the boundary expansion has been brought forward at a bad time and with Ontario Hydro able to guarantee a five year rate freeze, they should be eligible to take over the Hydro-Electric Commission area. Carl Gillbank, 3690 Mountjoy Road, Blackstock, LOB lBO, questioned the reality of the cost of the Hydro-Electric Commission takeover as being $250,000. He indicated that Ontario Hydro states that the fignre is closer to $2.5 million. Mr. Gillbank also indicated concern over the environmental impact the expansion would have. Bonita Cunningham, 1545 Stephenson Road, Newcastle, LIB 1L9, addressed Council on behalf of the Economic Development Liaison Committee, and requested that Council veto the expansion this time, as there are too many uncertainties with the proposal. Brenda Peeter, 10525 Regional Road 57, Blackstock, LOB lBO, advised Council that Clarington Hydro-Electric's Consultants, E.C.M.I., made the same recommendations for boundary expansion in Nanticoke and that proposal has been rejected. In Innisfil where expansion went forward, the hydro rates skyrocketed. . . . Council Minutes PUBLIC MEETING - 4 - December 11, 1995 Gilles Morais, 33 Valleycrest Drive, Courtice, LIE 1H7, questioned that with a debt of $28 million being taken on by Clarington Hydro, how can they possibly lower the rate of hydro. Mike Rice, 19 Bruntsfield Street, Courtice, questioned why the boundary expansion is going ahead at this time when the Provincial Government has appointed Don McDonald to study electrical services within the entire Province. Dave Doorenspleet, 220 Liberty Street North, Bowmanville, LIC 2M8, indicated his opposition to the boundary expansion based on the amount of money it will cost. Tim Pilgrim, R.R. 3, Cavan, questioned why Council would want to take a $20 to $30 million risk at this time when all levels of government are trying to maintain what they presently have and not expand. Brian Grabko, 1055 Denise Drive, Oshawa, LIH 2Y4, questioned that if Clarington Hydro can reduce their rates once the expansion has taken place, why haven't they done so yet. Randy McDougall, 68 Roser Crescent, Bowmanville, questioned why Clarington Hydro have given no guarantees that their hydro rates will be decreased. He also questioned why the Municipality would want to take on this amount of debt for a service which we presently have. Tim Chandler, 61 Hartsfield Drive, Courtice, LIE 1L9, stated that the present trend in government is to delay everything and questioned why, therefore, the Municipality would consider the boundary expansion. Norman Meens, 5605 Old Scugog Road, Hampton, LOB lJO, questioned how Clarington Hydro-Electric Commission plans to deal fairly with present Ontario Hydro employees. Peter Vreeker, 2712 Taunton Road, Hampton, LOB lJO, stated that each time the government wants to expand the comment is always made that it will save tax dollars. However, once the program is in place and tax dollars are increased, it is too late to rectify the situation. Paul Reesor, 26 McCrimmon Crescent, Bowmanville, addressed Council in support of the boundary expansiou for Clarington Hydro. He indicated that Ontario Hydro took an active role in the legislation which was passed in December of 1994 allowing for local authorities to expand their boundaries. The proposed expansion would allow all residents to enjoy equal and reduced rates and enhance economic prospects for the Municipality. He stated that Ontario Hydro distracts the residents with a new U2 rate for Courtice residents, however, the expansion would give every customer this same attractive rate. . Council Minutes PUBLIC MEETING . . - 5- December 11, 1995 Bruce Taylor, 20214 Concession Road 7, Enniskillen, LOB lJO, indicated that in 1977n8 this whole issue was first raised with Council. However, at that time studies and present information were not in place nor was the legislation which allows for the expansion. It is his opinion that this expansion is an honest attempt to even the playing field for aU residents of the Municipality. He requested that Council give the Hydro-Electric Commission an opportunity to even out the playing field. Karen Pyke, 11 Orchardview Blvd., Bowmanville, LlC 2J6, an employee of Clarington Hydro, stated that she has received numerous caUs from individuals who are, in fact, Ontario Hydro customers complaining that the office is not open to the public to aUow them to deal face-to-face with an individual. She questioned why is it that only now Ontario Hydro's new rate is being announced and stated that the time is right for the Clarington Hydro boundary expansion. Susanne Elston, 1604 Bloor Street, Courtice, LIE 2S3, an Ontario Hydro customer presently serving on the Clarington Hydro-Electric Commission, indicated that the boundary expansion will provide an opportunity for all municipal residents to pay the same for their hydro consumption. She stated that this is a positive move for the community and an investment in the future. Revenues generated by Clarington Hydro will be present in order to pay back the debt. Chris Bieber, Utility Manager, Central Ontario Electric, Ontario Hydro, indicated that Ontario Hydro's principle is "what's good for the customer, good for business and good for employees." He indicated that a new U2 rate has recently been introduced for Courtice customers, however, all customers are important to Ontario Hydro. Therefore, an 8% reduction was realized in September and a further reduction will be passed on in the near future. The company is re-engineering and looking at aU of its processes in an attempt to improve upon them. He stated that the Corporation deserves an opportunity to continue with its quality service in the Municipality. George Van Dyk, Chairman, Clarington Hydro-Electric Commission advised that he has been on the Commission since 1979 and during that time has consistently been asked why some people in the Municipality pay Hydro-Electric Commission rates and others pay Ontario Hydro rates. He guaranteed that residents would realize a .73% reduction rate in their hydro, provided Ontario Hydro does not raise its rates for Clarington Hydro. Mr. Van Dyk stated that if Ontario Hydro gave their new U2 rate to all residents, the Hydro-Electric Commission would give up their fight for boundary expansion. Roger White of E.C.M.I., briefed Council on his study conclusions. He indicated that the Innisfil boundary expansion saw a rate increase of 1.5% immediately and a further 1.5% increase six months later. Both of these increases had been approved by Ontario Hydro prior to the expansion. Subsequent to the expansion, however, the residents realized a rate reduction and additional reductions are anticipated next year. Mr. White invited Council to proceed with an independent audit of the study if they should so desire. . . . Council Minutes Clarington Hydro Electric Commission Expansion E06.GE RECESS - 6- December 11, 1995 Resolution #C-884-95 Moved by Councillor Scott, seconded by Councillor Dreslinski THAT the order of the agenda be altered to allow for consideration of Report TR-79-95 at this time. nCARRIEDIl Resolution #C-885-95 Moved by Councillor Dreslinski, seconded by Councillor Elliott THAT Report TR-79-95 be open for discussion.

Study, such audit to be paid for by Clarington Hydro-Electric Commission, with the auditors chosen by the Municipality in consultation with the Hydro-Electric Commission; THAT the report of the auditor be forwarded to Council, and include information on the MacDonald Report and the Golden Report recommendations to the Province of Ontario; and THAT Chris Bieber, Central Ontario Electric and George Van Dyk, Clarington Hydro-Electric Commission, be advised of Council's decision. "CARRIED" Resolution #C-887-95 Moved by Councillor Dreslinski, seconded by Councillor Elliott THAT Council recess for 15 minutes. "CARRIED" The meeting reconvened at 10:30 p.m. . . . Council Minutes DELEGATIONS - 7 - December 11, 1995 Ahmed Kaka, 22 Sl. Dennis Drive, Unit llA, Toronto, M3C 1ES, appeared before Council representing his family, the owners of 60 acres located at the northeast corner of Highway 115 and Concession Road 4. He stated that complaints have been received regarding two mobile homes which are located on the property. Mr. Kaka indicated that one of the mobile homes is owned by the tenant who is residing in the house and the other is owned by he and his family. Mr. Kaka stated that the By-law Enforcement Officer has advised that the zoning on the land will not allow for the mobile homes to be located on the property. He advised that the mobile home owned by the tenant is being renovated and will be moved at such time as the renovations are complete and the other is owned by his family with the intent of using it as a secondary dwelling when the family moves here. Maureen Remington, Box 44021, Oshawa, LlH SB5, addressed Council with respect to the recommendations put forth by the Waterfront Trust, which she feels are very attractive proposals. She disagrees with the criticism that the Waterfront Trust did not adequately reflect the work group discussions, nor that it reflects the residents' concerns about roads and crossings based on the available information. She requested that Council negotiate with Mr. Winkle, President of Sl. Marys to put into writing the verbal promise he made at the December meeting, that he would alleviate any well problems which may be experienced. Also, she suggested that perhaps Council may try to receive the one-half cent of the four cents levy/tonne of aggregate which presently goes to the Region. Mrs. Remington thanked the Mayor and Councillors for bringing in the Trust to produce an arrangement which has many advantages and solves so many problems. Ted Remington, Box 44021, Oshawa, L1H SB5, addressed Council with respect to the Waterfront Trust Proposal. He indicated surprise that someone had complained that Sl. Marys was threatening and the workshops were one sided. His experience was that these hearings were very fair, that the Trust bent over backward ensuring that everyone was heard, that after each topic everyone, including observers, was asked for opinions and questions and the meeting did not proceed until everyone was heard. He agreed that the discussion did become heated at times, however, with the issues being so sensitive and hard decisions having to be made, this is to be expected. Mr. Remington thanked the Mayor and Council and the Waterfront Trust for creating a better situation for all residents at the beach. Bob and Bette Morrison, 97 Cedar Crest Beach, Bowmanville, complimented Mr. Rick Symms of the Waterfront Trust for the patience and professionalism displayed during the Waterfront Regeneration Trust Working Groups. They consider the recommendations to be a fair and accurate description of the group findings and, although the recommendations will not please everyone, it is time that all parties accept the solution. They requested that Council endorse the recommendations put forth by the Trust. .
