Council
Minutes
October 31, 2016 to November 1, 2016
- 7 -
Whereas recent polling, conducted on behalf of the Association of Municipalities
of Ontario indicates 76% of Ontarians are concerned or somewhat concerned
property taxes will not cover the cost of infrastructure while maintaining municipal
services, and 90% agree maintaining safe infrastructure is an important priority
for their communities;
And Whereas infrastructure and transit are identified by Ontarians as the biggest
problems facing their municipal government;
And Whereas a ten-year projection (2016-2025) of municipal expenditures
against inflationary property tax and user fee increases, shows there to be an
unfunded average annual need of $3.6 billion to fix local infrastructure and
provide for municipal operating needs;
And Whereas the $3.6 billion average annual need would equate to annual
increases of 4.6% (including inflation) to province-wide property tax revenue for
the next ten years;
And Whereas this gap calculation also presumes all existing and multi-year
planned federal and provincial transfers to municipal governments are fulfilled;
And Whereas if future federal and provincial transfers are unfulfilled beyond 2015
levels, it would require annual province-wide property tax revenue increases of
up to 8.35% for ten years;
And Whereas Ontarians already pay the highest property taxes in the country;
And Whereas each municipal government in Ontario faces unique issues, the
fiscal health and needs are a challenge which unites all municipal governments,
regardless of size;
Now Therefore Be It Resolved that the Council of the Municipality of Clarington supports
the Association of Municipalities of Ontario in its work to close the fiscal gap; so that all
municipalities can benefit from predictable and sustainable revenue, to finance the
pressing infrastructure and municipal service needs faced by all municipal governments.

693. Existing Section 23.13.1 is hereby amended as follows:
23.13.1 Where this Plan identifies Special Study Areas or requires studies or plans
(including Secondary Plans) to be undertaken, it does not necessarily
obligate the Municipality, the Region of Durham and any other governing
agency to expend public funds to finance such reports, studies or plans.
The Municipality shall determine whether or not it will commence the
preparation of any such report, study or plan based on Municipal priorities,
and available financial and staff resources.
This Plan, however, allows for and contemplates the possibility that funding for any
required report, study or plan, pursuant to Section 23.3, may come from landowners
who may be impacted provided such landowners enter into an agreement with the
Municipality. Such agreement shall, amongst other matters, specify the scope of work to
be undertaken, the means of procuring the work, ensure study objectivity, and cover
project management and administrative costs incurred by the Municipality. Such
agreements shall also address matters relating to non-participating landowners, and
may allow for development charges credits. The decision to enter into any such
agreement shall be at the discretion of the Council.

Whereas the Durham Region Employment Network (D.R.E.N.) is a ‘grass
roots’ organization that has built itself into an award-winning network. They
are thirty-five community and employment sector organizations working
together to ensure that employment is accessible to all in Durham Region;
and,
Whereas their focus is to increase the economic participation of those
furthest from the labour market and they are a regional network that has
been working in our community for the 23 years but has not had Regional
or City funding; and,
Whereas D.R.E.N.is co-located in the Canadian Mental Health Association
Durham building which serves as a hub of services for persons with mental
health disabilities; and,
Whereas they have provided economic development offices with data on
available job seekers by industry and have organized large-scale
recruitments for companies moving to the area and they are a recognized
leader in bringing together people and resources to support persons with
barriers to employment; and,
Whereas D.R.E.N. was recognized provincially by the Governor General of
Ontario with the awarding of the David C. Onley Award for Leadership in
Accessibility; and,
Whereas in 23 years D.R.E.N. has successfully managed over 50 projects and
millions of dollars in project funding; however, project funding is precarious and
with no core funding the impact of even the smallest delays can be disastrous;
and,
Whereas their funds are so depleted from providing core services without project
funding that they find themselves for the first time requesting emergency
assistance in the amount of $25,000 to keep their doors open;
Therefore let it be resolved that Council approve a one-time emergency bridging
funding in the amount of $1,600 and that it be funded from the contingency fund.
This fund can easily support this request because it has capacity; and further,
That a request be sent to each area municipality in Durham Region to support a
one-time emergency bridging funding in the amount of $1,600; and,
That this request be sent to the Region of Durham where there will be a motion at
Committee of the Whole on October 5, 2016. At that time Regional Councillors will
be asked to support a one-time emergency funding of $12,500. If approved at the
Regional level, this request will bring the total contribution locally and Regionally to
$25,000, (as long as all municipalities participate). This funding is needed in order
to keep D.R.E.N.'s doors open while they secure new funding sources.

3. Arena Manager’s Report – Bryan advised payment for the Gift of Art Show at the
Arena, July 7 to 10th had been received in advance. The show was completed and all went
well. However, Anne Harley had advised attendance was slightly lower than in 2015.
Summer Lacrosse was coming to an end. However, the CRLL had booked floor time for
a tournament in July. With the summer trade shows using the back garage doors for their
entrance way, a ramp was required for patrons to enter the building; particularly the
handicapped. Kraco Contracting Co. had built and donated a ramp for this purpose. It is
portable and permanently located at the arena for future trade shows.
Electrical and Refrigeration upgrades were currently being studied by the municipality
for changes to the outside lighting and the ice plant. At this point, we had not been
advised if they were taking place this summer or, it is for a 2017 date.
Nate Hoban, a student at Clarke High School had built and donated hockey stick racks to
the arena for each dressing room. This was a school shop project that Nate had
34
(2)
Undertaken. Nate was graciously looking for no recognition; just was looking for a
project to undertake. It was suggested to Bryan, that he get in touch with Nate and at least
give him an official thanks on our Web-Site or, signage on the stick racks. We may have
to wait for school to begin in the fall to catch up with him and set something up with a
photo.
4. Financial Report - Y.T.D. to May 31st, 2016 indicated revenue at $154,934.00 – an
11% increase from May of 2015. Total expenses also showed a 10% increase to date at
$128,965.05. Utilities; Hydro, Water and Heating were a concern to our operations. All
three had increased over 2015, YTD. Payroll was slightly up, as well – 5%. No Accounts
Receivable were available. Little is outstanding and mostly current, according to our
bookkeeper.
5. New Business – It was suggested that through the summer months, with holidays and
little activity taking place, we should reduce our meetings and skip the month of July.
Motion # 16-015 was proposed: THAT: There will be no meeting called for July, 2016
and our next meeting be scheduled for August 9th, 2016.
Moved by: Councillor Partner Seconded by: Gary Oliver

The chair advised the board members that Vice-Chair, Gord Blaker had resigned his
position from the board. Mr. Blaker has sold his home and moved out of Clarington, to
Huntsville, Ont. His resignation will be submitted to the Clerk’s Office immediately. It is
unlikely we will see a new replacement before September, when council returns.
Councillor Partner suggested that we contact the municipality regarding the possibility of
installing solar roof panels at the arena. Solar heating is currently being studied by the
municipality and our building with all day east-west exposure could be an excellent
location for a starting study point. Gord Lee will follow –up. Also, suggested by the
members: That if lighting changes are being initiated to the outside of the building,
perhaps additional lighting could be added to the back area and signage be installed on
the on the Edward Street end for both the arena and Farmers’ Market. Follow-up with
operations will be initiated by the chair, as well.

(3)
A request from NVMHA for a water bottle filling station in the arena has been received.
This possibility will also be explored, as well. And finally, the board members would like
to consider having Tara Watchhorn, our Newcastle Olympian’s photo prominently
displayed in the arena ice surface area. There will be follow-up on this project also.

9:00 and 9:30 p.m. to close. Also, Wednesday night from 10:30 P.M. was available.
The municipality had attended to the roof leaks and eaves trough and advised Bryan the
electrical updating, lighting for the outside and the brick base and down spouts to the
sewer was on target for the spring of 2017, budget permitting.
Sue White offered to look after the monthly walk-through and inspection of the building
with Bryan for health and safety issues; taking this task over from Gord Blaker, who has
resigned from our board.

Hiring and changes and staffing were almost completed and would be on time for our
contract season commencement of October 1st. The snack bar staff had 3 returnees and
Gary Oliver was again, going to look after training and scheduling their hours. Discussion
continued on operating times for the snack bar, trying to eliminate most practice ice
times for minor hockey. Many of those practice hours, sales didn’t cover wages. Rink
staffing required promotion of two rink attendants to operators and additional training.
4. On-Going Business - Discussion took place regarding a water bottle filling station for the
arena; the municipality turning down our request left us to purchase our own.
Indications were that they cost in the neighborhood of $3,000.00 installed.
5. Motion # 16-118 was proposed: THAT: The committee approve a budget of $3,000.00,
+ or- 10% for the purchase and installation of a water bottle filling station to be located
in the lobby.
Moved by: Sue White Seconded by: Jay Summers
CARRIED
The chair offered to follow-up on pricing and installation.
Jay summers suggested the soft drink vending machine could possibly be re-located to
attract more sales. The lobby area was his suggestion, to catch players coming from the
dressing rooms after ice time, when leaving the building.
6. Financial Report - An income statement was provided, Y.T.D. August 31st, 2016
indicating revenue of $158,481.85 – 11% higher than same date, 2015. Accounts
Receivables were at $11,275.16 with $7,600.00 over 90 days, (from summer programs).
Bryan will actively follow–up on these accounts. Tim Horton’s advertising invoice
remained outstanding and Jay suggested this may be a problem with new ownership
and management changes. He suggested, we write to Julie Granger at their head office
and copy him on any correspondence. The chair will follow-up on this.
7. New Business - Gord Lee reminded Bryan that the Clarington Farmers’ Market,
operating Sundays in the arena parking lot will remain in open until the last Sunday in
October, the 30th. Parking will have to be shared with ice users on Sundays. Pylons need
to be in location early Sunday mornings, before the hockey programs commence.

Gary Oliver brought up the need for boulevard signage to promote our public skating –
“A- type”, two sided sandwich boards that can be placed out on Edward Street for the
week-end, similar to what the Clarington Farmers’ Market uses. Gord will follow –up
and have prepared.
Councillor Partner suggested there may be an opportunity through the Canada “150”
Grant Program for some arena application. She will forward the program outline to the
chair to review.
There was still a need to replace one board member on our committee. The municipality
will run an ad in our local papers until October 9th, advertising the position. Councillors
Woo and Partner will keep us advised. Also, nominations were requested for a person to
accept the Vice-Chair position on this committee. All nominated parties declined to
accept.

3. New Business:
a) W. Woo spoke again to the issue of confidentiality and In Camera sessions
as critical to managing the business of the Municipality and all boards and
groups under the municipal umbrella.
He cited the example in May 2013 when Oshawa Councillor Nancy Diamond
used her personal email account to conduct Government business involving
a $5.9 million dollar land deal. An Oshawa resident filed an access-to-
information request. After about a year before the courts, the decision supported
access, which was most likely precedent-setting. According to Ontario’s
Information & Privacy Commissioner Brian Beamish, “you are not avoiding
access-to-information legislation simply because you use your own device or
your own private email account.”
“Records that arise out of the councillor’s official responsibilities as a member of
council or some aspect of council’s mandate” are subject to access law.
“…if it is public business, the basic principle is it should be accessible or
potentially accessible to the public through the freedom of information process.”
“Beamish says there is a need for greater education so elected officials,
government staff and public employees understand their obligation to make
relevant information available to the public.”
Wed. Feb. 3, 2016 The Toronto Star.
b) S. Cooke stated that a review of the Audit of the Museum’s Financials will
be on the agenda for the next Board meeting Nov. 9th. There were a number
of recommendations made and those were briefly reviewed. Further discussion
on the recommendations will also be on the agenda for Nov 9th.
c) Due to Chair B. Seto’s resignation, submitted Mon. Oct 31st 2016, notice to
council will have to be made requesting a new appointee. A new Chair of the
Board will need to be determined at the Nov. 9th meeting. It was noted that B.
Seto has not been privy to any information about the Museum since the last
Special Meeting of Oct 22nd, 2016.

3. ITEMS/UPDATES
2016 Trail Construction Project
At a previous meeting Peter Windolf presented the plans showing the proposed trail
alignment and bridge crossing location for the new woodland trail that will connect
the Waterfront Trail to the existing trail along the north side of the sewage treatment
plant.
R&M Construction started construction in September and has now completed the
clearing, grading and installation of granular base for the trail. The armourstone
bridge abutments have also been installed. The Cor-ten steel bridge has been
ordered and will be installed in the winter. The trail will be paved and officially
opened in the spring.
The committee discussed having a grand opening to celebrate the opening of the
new trail. This will be discussed in more detail at a future meeting.
Since the trail and bridge are still not complete it is fenced to prevent access at both
ends. It was recommended that a notice be placed at each end of the new trail to
inform users of the anticipated completion date.
Clarke High School Community Outreach projects
The parent council at Clarke High School is interested in increasing the visibility and
promoting a positive image of the school. Catherine Bothwell a member of the
parent council contacted the municipality with an offer help with community projects.
The SWNA Committee considered the offer at the June 2016 meeting and
suggested several potential projects. The projects that the school has agreed to
undertake are;
- Designing and painting SWNA garage containers
- Building bird houses
- Building butterfly houses
The wood for the bird and butterfly houses has been purchased by the school shop
teacher. The garbage drums will be ordered once the quantities and delivery
schedule are confirmed with the art teacher.
Bill Bickle Wildlife Photography presentation
The event occurred on Sunday November 6 at the Newcastle and District
Recreation Complex. Approximately 50 people attended and the event was very
well received. It was noted that darkening the meeting room, even with the shades
closed, was difficult and we should consider the time of day and venue for any
similar events in the future.

SWNA November 2016 Minutes 3
Monarch Butterfly Pledge
Clarington Council endorsed the Mayors Monarch Pledge which is a continent wide
initiative to take action to help save the Monarch Butterfly. The pledge was directed
to the SWNA Management Advisory committee to identify 3 actions to create and
enhance monarch butterfly habit and educate citizens about how they can make a
difference. The specified actions will be discussed and formalized at a future
meeting.
Great Lake Guardian Funding application
The municipality will be applying to the Great Lakes Guardian Community fund for a
project at the SWNA. A project to replace the deteriorated woodchip trail leading to
the lake with a limestone trail was submitted previously but was not approved. Brian
Reid will review the application and recommend a project prior to the December 1
application deadline. The committee felt that the limestone trail project still has merit
and the potential to be funded however the application should be changed to put
more emphasis on community involvement.
Fall Clean-up recap
At the end of each fishing season the committee organizes a site clean-up. This
year it occurred on Saturday October 29 at 9:00AM at the Toronto Street Parking
lot. A small group of committee members attended the clean-up along with a
community volunteer.
4. OTHER BUSINESS
Dyan Amirault issued her resignation via e-mail because she will be away for most
of the winter and will not be able to attend meetings. At the November 28 General
Government Committee meeting, council will appoint a new member.
An e-mail from a Vancouver resident was received after his visit to the SWNA. He is
very interested in the history of the area as his ancestors rented property from the
Lovekin’s in the 1800’s. His specific interest was in the remnants of a concrete
structure on the slope leading to the valley just east of the Lovekin Cairn. It was
thought to be a well head or pump house however it will be investigated further with
local historians.

“That, in the interest of public safety, the Municipality, request the Province provide
their assurance that should there be larger traffic impacts than estimated by the
Ministry’s traffic impact study that the Ministry take necessary corrective action to
mitigate the Municipality’s public safety concerns and assume all liability for any
related incidents”; and
Whereas there has been a significant increase in traffic on Taunton Road, resulting
from the opening of Phase 1 of the Hwy. 407 east extension; and
Whereas local area residents have expressed considerable concern with existing
traffic volumes on Trulls Road at current levels even before the opening of the
Phase 1 extension; and
Whereas it is anticipated that traffic volumes will increase further as a result of the
opening of the Hwy. 407, Enfield Road Interchange with the Phase 2A extension to
be completed in late 2017;
Now therefore be it resolved that Clarington Council amend Resolution
#GPA-249-13 such that Clarington staff be directed to meet with staff from the
Ministry of Transportation to review these concerns related to the anticipated
increase in traffic volumes on Trulls Road as a result of the opening of the Enfield

9. Celebrate Agriculture, 2017 Legacy Project
Whereas Canada is celebrating 150 years as a country in 2017 and has asked all
communities to consider special projects to commemorate this important milestone;
and
Whereas the Celebrate Agriculture Committee, a subcommittee of Durham Farm
Connections and the Durham Federation of Agriculture, has an educational mandate
to continually promote the celebration of our Agricultural achievements on an Annual
basis as well as promote the further education of the general public on the
importance of the Agricultural economy to our local economy as well as the
provincial and national economies; and
53
General Government Committee
Report to Council
For Council Meeting of November 14, 2016 Page 4
Whereas the Celebrate Agriculture Committee has identified a project for 2017 that
will put the spotlight on our Agricultural Accomplishments in this Region as a whole
and the impact those accomplishments have had and continue to have on the
Nation; and
Whereas agriculture is an industry as old as Confederation itself and continues to
provide jobs and sustainability for our environment as well as food security for our
residents; and
Whereas in Durham many of our community museums and libraries are joining in
helping celebrate this important industry but unfortunately there is no permanent
place in a prominent location central to all communities to showcase Durham’s
accomplishments in this industry; and
Whereas our agricultural leadership in Durham has been second to none including
The Massey family in Newcastle village, the Tyrone farmer with a small winter hobby
that became General Motors of Canada, a world-renowned race horse born and
raised in Oshawa, one of the first counties to form a 4-H Leadership Association, 7
Annual Fairs of which 6 are older than Confederation and combined have an annual
attendance of approx. 75,000 residents and tourists and Durham is the second
original founding community for the Federated Women’s Institutes of Canada and
the world;
Now therefore be it resolved:
• That the Council of the Municipality of Clarington assist in this significant
legacy project by allocating space in their Municipal Offices for a temporary
Heritage agricultural exhibit in 2017 as well as a permanent location for a
Plaque commemorating the Pioneer Farm Families of Durham
(Families that have farmed in Canada for 150 years and now farm in
Durham);
• That the Council submit to the Region of Durham and all municipal Councils
in Durham a request to support this project and a permanent Agricultural Wall
of Fame in a prominent Durham Region location to Showcase our Heritage
Accomplishments from 1867-Modern Times.
