Resolution #GG-348-16
Moved by Councillor Woo, seconded by Councillor Partner
Whereas, Autism Spectrum Disorder is now recognized as the most common
neurological disorder affecting 1 in every 94 children, as well as their friends, family and
community; and
Whereas, Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is the scientific process based on objective
evaluation and empirically based interventions used to achieve meaningful,
generalizable and enduring behavioural change. Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI)
is an application of the principles of ABA in an intensive setting used to affect behaviour
change and improvement; and
Whereas, the current waiting list of children for Intensive Behaviour Intervention (IBI) is
over 2,000 and more than 13,000 children await Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA); and
Whereas, the Province of Ontario has announced it intends to discontinue IBI services
to children over the age of four and provide a one-time payment to assist with services,
thereby abandoning thousands who have been wait-listed for years; and
Whereas, there are two service models for affected children to be treated, 1) the Direct
Service Offering (DSO) where children receive services directly from trained staff at
Ontario's nine regional service providers, and 2) the Direct Funding Offering (DFO)
where parents receive funding directly in order to purchase services; and
Whereas, the DFO model to provide services is used in Alberta, British Columbia and
imminently Saskatchewan. Such a model is clinically rigorous and has been identified
by the Auditor General of Ontario as being less expensive than Ontario’s D SO model;
Therefore, be it resolved that a letter be sent to Hon. Michael Coteau, Minister of
Children and Youth Services; Alexander Bezzina, Deputy Minister; Hon. Eric Hoskins,
Minister of Health; and Hon. Kathleen Wynne, Premier of Ontario, requesting the
Province to:
1. Amend its policy to one that will allow all children on the current waiting list to receive
the IBI services promised them; and
2. Remove the age limit for IBI therapy and replace it with a program that provides
ongoing IBI services based on need and individual development, not age; and
3. Ensure oversight by professionals and parents based on ‘development progress’
criteria and milestones; and

Whereas there was a huge public outcry in response to the cutbacks and stiff
opposition from most federal parties, including the Liberal Party, which promised
to halt the delivery cuts and conduct a review of Canada Post, if elected;
Whereas the delivery cuts were halted and our Liberal government is currently
conducting a Canada Post Review, starting with an independent task force that
will collect input from Canadians, do research, gather facts and draft a discussion
paper in September of 2016, identifying viable options for postal service in this
country;
Whereas a parliamentary committee will consult with Canadians in the fall of
2016 on the options that have been identified in the task force's discussion paper
and then make recommendations to the government on the future of Canada
Post;
Whereas it will be crucial for the task force and parliamentary committee to hear
our views on key issues, including the importance of maintaining the moratorium
on post office closures, improving the Canadian Postal Service Charter, restoring
home mail delivery, keeping daily delivery, adding postal banking, greening
Canada Post, and developing services to assist people with disabilities and help
older Canadians to remain in their homes for as long as possible;
Therefore be it resolved that the Municipality of Clarington provide input to the
Canada Post Review task force and make a submission when the parliamentary
committee consults with Canadians this fall.

M. Adams reported (as recorded by acting secretary K. Warren):
• Attendance numbers are up for this year as compared to same time last year
• Canada Day was very successful, although numbers were not as high as last
year due to the predicted rain for the day. The event ran much more
smoothly than last year and the municipality’s involvement was also much
more streamlined.
• Gift shop sales were great during Canada Day and overall are more cost
effective than last year so financially there is more success this year
• CMOG grant has been files and the audit from the municipality has come in
and been sent on to CMOG. They have notified receipt of that audit
• Veterans Affairs $5000 grant reported previously has come in & is in the
bank account
• Jen Stein is back from maternity leave
• Manual ledgers have been digitized and are all backed up now. Some data
from 2012 was not uploaded correctly and needs to be redone
• 2000+ dolls are in the collection; 50% have come from outside Clarington
including 13 or 14 different multiple donations now part of this collection.
W. Woo inquired about partner events from last month including Doors Open
Clarington and the Racing Expo at Garnet B. Rickard arena during Rotary
Ribs N Brews. M. Adams reported that the museum did not participate in
Doors Open Clarington as planned. The display was to be focused on a plow in
the collection which turned out to be built at the Toronto Massey Factory rather
than in Newcastle. It was decided not to provide a display because a plow from
Newcastle was already on display. The museum provided access for Doors
Open members to do research for the event and a staff member to assist at the
Massey Building site for Doors Open on event day. The museum focused on
current displays at the museum and the Clarington Racing Expo. 2800 people
came through the Racing Expo; Rotary Club made money on its very successful
event. Canadian Tire Motorsport was at the expo and were quite impressed
with the museum display. Bowmanville Rotary event Chair, Kevin Anyan, and
other Rotarians reported thoroughly enjoying the display.
Moved by: K. Warren Seconded by: S. Elhajjeh
THAT: the Executive Director’s report be accepted as submitted.
MOTION CARRIED

9. Committee Reports:
a) Finance Report – B. Seto reported as O. Casimiro was absent. $16600 has
been spent out of the operating funds on new cabinets. Discussion followed on a
question of why this expense did not come out of Farr funds as expected. M.
Adams stated he has not yet allocated where the Farr funds will be used. S.
Cooke asked for a summary of the expenses from the Farr donation and for the
amount still available. Discussion diverged with no specific answer given. The
discussion was tabled and will be brought forward again at the next meeting.
Moved by: K. Warren Seconded by: S. Elhajjeh
THAT: the Finance Committee report be accepted as presented.
MOTION CARRIED
b) Collections Report – The doll collection has been examined and there are
over 2000 in the collection. The budget for collection management needs to be
set up to include money for a research section. Funds can be raised to
accommodate that. M. Adams mentioned that perhaps collections could be
absorbed by the curator and Executive Director instead of needing a committee.
Moved by: W. Woo Seconded by: S. Elhajjeh
THAT: the Collections Committee report be accepted as presented.
MOTION CARRIED

MOTION CARRIED
e) Municipal Heritage Committee Report – no report given.
10. New Business:
a) Expense & Travel Policy – B. Seto spoke to revisions that she drafted after
reviewing the draft of 4.5 Expense & Travel Policy dealing with reimbursements
distributed at the last meeting by M. Adams, and circulated them to board
members.
Discussion followed regarding what the CRA rate of mileage states & includes; board members agreed that the standard should be followed.
8:07 p.m. B. Seto relinquished chair to W. Woo to participate more fully in
motions regarding the revisions prepared.
S. Middleton offered that a possible way to handle remote display set up would
be to use some sort of fine arts truck for larger event transportation to offset
wear and tear on personal vehicles.
B. Seto stated she is not comfortable with the additional $1500 vehicle
maintenance per year addition included in the draft expense policy and CRA
does not specify one; maintenance is included in the CRA mileage calculation.
S. Elhajjeh stated at times the CRA rate recommendation even decreases after a
certain number of kilometers. S. Cooke suggested a budget line item be
included in future for rental vehicle expenses to allow for events when bigger
transportation issues, which should be evident in yearly plans, need to be
managed. K. Warren agreed the CRA rate should cover expenses and noted that
the CRA website states that anything paid beyond the CRA rate must be
reported as taxable income. W. Woo agreed that rental vehicles would be a
good strategy for handling larger event set up.
Moved by: B. Seto Seconded by: S. Cooke

CRA recommendations and the additional $1500 allowance recommended be

SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD:
UNIONIZATION UPDATE
July 27, 2016
Sarah Jane Williams Heritage Centre
62 Temperance Street Bowmanville, Ontario
Present: B. Seto M. Adams (ED) W. Woo S. Cooke
K. Warren S. Middleton
Regrets: M. Morawetz O. Casimiro J. Sturdy
Not Attending: S. Elhajjeh
1. Call to Order:
B. Seto called the meeting to order at 7:08 p.m.
2. Unionization Update:
M. Adams reported that the initial vote to unionize was held off site by staff.
The consulting lawyer stated this was common practice. A 40% vote in favour
is required to start moving forward with unionization and that was met.
Chronology: Wednesday, June 15 2016 before the scheduled following Monday
vote, M. Adams was notified that there was a 5 pm deadline for the same day, to
To illuminate Clarington and its heritage through lasting and meaningful experiences with artifacts, exhibitions
and programmes that inspires future generations and enlivens our community
65
fill out paperwork regarding the Museum’s side. Also noted by lawyer as a
common strategy.
M. Adams and the consulting lawyer, Michael S. Smyth of Hicks Morley
Hamilton Stewart Storie LLP, Toronto, met with the union facilitator in Toronto
to go over two points:
1) who is considered to be part of the management of the museum?
- determination: Curator is management along with Executive Director.
Programmer is less clear but the lawyer advised that this
position be given up to the union with the stipulation that the job description will
be reworked and may not always fall into that category (the lawyer has minutes
on this meeting)
2) what is the official name of the museum for paperwork reasons?
- determination: Clarington Museum & Archives
The process that has been followed has been accepted as the correct course by
the municipal HR department.
S. Cooke stated that the whole board, not just the executive, should be part of all
communication regarding the union from this point forward. Consensus.
B. Seto confirmed that the executive was notified promptly by M. Adams when
he received notification June 15, and stated that she thought it was appropriate
that a board meeting not be called until the vote of union certification took place.
It was noted that O. Casimiro had requested a meeting prior to the vote.
Chronology Continued: M. Adams continued to review timeline of all activity.
As noted, Wed June 15 he was notified and responded with an email to the
executive and with required paperwork prior to the 5 pm deadline that day. M.
Adams stated that he agreed with the discussion at this meeting that the whole
board should be part of the communications regarding the unionization
application and process, and in future would notify all board members along
with executive regarding this matter, but had proceeded June 15th as directed by
Chair, B. Seto.
Monday the vote took place as prescheduled.
Thursday at the regular staff meeting, M. Adams addressed what a union is in a
prepared statement of facts provided to him by the consulting lawyer. Board
members also received a copy of this communication by email (attached).
66
Next Steps: Process is to have a negotiation meeting at which time the union
can state what demands are being presented. Consulting lawyer advised M.
Adams that he needs a mandate from the board to set up the bargaining team.
No meeting date with the union has been determined at the time of this special
meeting of the board.
W. Woo presented a paper drawn up by the Municipality HR department in
consultation with the Municipality Solicitor.
Moved by: W. Woo Seconded by: S. Cooke
THAT: Municipal Staff and Legal Counsel, Hicks Morley, be requested to
meet with the Executive Director, and thereafter provide advice to the
Clarington Museum Board respecting the implications of the Union
Certification and the appropriate steps to be taken going forward; and
THAT: any documentation provided to the Museum Board respecting such
matters be provided to Municipal Council and the Municipal Clerk.
MOTION CARRIED 7:36 pm
W. Woo circulated the OLRB Certification Notice (OLRB Case No.: 0746-16-
R) (attached) that Council received but had not been informed about
beforehand by M. Adams, in an effort to point out that not everyone (board
members and members of Council) was apprised of the unionization. He
restated that we must be more proactive in making sure all of the board and the
municipality is informed at the same time on matters of this importance.
W. Woo, at the request of S. Cooke, checked the bylaws to see what positions on
the board also sit as the executive for the Museum Board. It was determined
that there needs to be 2 members from the board appointed to the executive at
this time, and also noted that vice chair is still to be elected and would also sit on
the executive.
Discussion followed on potential items of staff concern. B. Seto asked how
frequently staff meetings are held, and when discussions regarding maternity
leave coverage and expectations afterward were had. M. Adams stated that he
held a meeting with staff members before any duties were altered to help cover
tasks during maternity leaves, and that staff were aware that their hours and pay
would return to original rates after the maternity leaves were over. They were
also told that he would sit down with them again after the term, for discussions.
67
M. Adams reminded board members that any job description changes must be
approved by the board.
S. Middleton asked if part time staff have a benefit system in place or if anyone
working part time might have qualified for them due to number of hours
worked. His concern was if any were overlooked when or if benefits could have
been awarded. M. Adams stated that he has kept assignments within allowable
hours.
M. Adams requested that someone from Municipality HR be at the first meeting
with the union. All present agree.
Upcoming Meetings and Expectations of M. Adams and of Board Members:
1) M. Adams will meet with Municipality Solicitor & Legal Depart.
2) M. Adams will follow up with update to Board members.
3) A formal board meeting will be called to decide who will attend the
negotiation meeting with the union.
4) Union meeting will take place with M. Adams and determined team to hear
the demands.
M. Adams brought forward the bill for fees from the consulting lawyer thus far,
due end of August $5179.36. Rate is $515/hour with estimated total by end of
the process at $8000. M. Adams was directed to pay the current bill.
M. Adams will email the board the confidential email from the lawyer and the
Q&A sheet that he had drawn up for M. Adams to present to the staff at the
meeting held just prior to the vote. (both attached)
S. Middleton requested that the next “emergency” meeting be specified as
such rather than “special” so that all members of the board are aware of the
importance of attending if at all possible.
Motion to adjourn by K. Warren at 9:11 pm.
Minutes for the meeting of the Clarington Museum and Archives Board have been accepted and approved on accepted and

Dear Mayor:
As you may or may not know, the International Association of Lions
Clubs is celebrating its 100th Anniversary of Service to Humanity in
2017. The theme for the Anniversary Celebration is “Where There’s A
Need, There’s A Lion”. Truer words have not been spoken. In the
history of our great Association, Lions Clubs around the world have
done great things in and for their communities. I ask you to take a
minute and think of what the Lions Clubs in your Municipality have done
for their community. I also ask you to take a minute and think of what
would have happened if there were no Lions Clubs in your Community.
At our recent provincial Lions Convention, I was asked by the
Governor’s Council to ask all Municipalities across Ontario to designate
one day to fly the Lions Clubs International flag at the Municipal
Building/City Hall. We are asking for one day for the citizens of your
community to be able to see the pride that exists in Lionism by flying
our flag for one day.
Please advise me whether your council approves this request so we can
act on it. I am copying this letter to the District Governor of this
District and to the District Centennial Chair so they can contact your
79
office to set up a date for this flag raising to occur. We are hoping to
have this event take place in the spring of 2017 to commemorate our
100th Anniversary.
Thank you for your time in this matter and I look forward to hearing
from your office in the near future.
Yours truly,
Lion Jim Rohrbach, PDG

Report Overview
The job description for Clarington’s Chief Administrative Officer was established in 1998 by
By-law 98-171. With the current Chief Administrative Officer’s retirement, effective
September 16, 2016 it is appropriate for the job description to be updated with minor
amendments to reflect the current job expectations. Whereas Council has indicated a desire
to appoint an interim CAO, it is recommended that Council appoint an interim CAO effective
September 19, 2016 to fulfill the duties as detailed in the draft by-law attached to this Report
as Attachment 1, and to assist Council in carrying out the recruitment of a new CAO.
1. Background
1.1 Section 229 of the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001 c.25 authorizes the municipality to
appoint a chief administrative officer with the following responsibilities:
a) Exercising general control and management of the affairs of the municipality for the
purpose of ensuring the efficient and effective operation of the municipality; and
b) Performing such other duties as are assigned by the municipality.

25, 1998. The Chief Administrative Officer’s duties and expectations were set out in By-
law 98-171 (Attachment 4). The current Chief Administrative Officer will retire effective
September 16, 2016.
1.3 Mr. Curry Clifford recently retired from his position as Corporate Initiatives Officer, in
Clarington’s CAO Office. He is familiar with the Municipality of Clarington, its
Administration, and Council.
2. Proposal
2.1 Job Description
As stated earlier in this Report, the existing Chief Administrative Officer Job Description
was developed in 1998 and adopted by Council (By-law 98-171). The details of that 1998
job description have been reviewed and the proposed draft by-law details proposed minor
amendments to reflect job expectations.
It is recommended that the updated job description as detailed in the draft by-law, being
Attachment 1 to this Report, be approved.
