SUMMARY OF CORRESPONDENCE
MAY 29, 2000
CORRESPONDENCE FOR INFORMATION
I - 1 John Leach, City Clerk, City of Vaughan, providing Council with a copy of the
Local Government Options Study carried out by Mr. Gardner Church for the City
of Vaughan. As an important stakeholder with respect to local government
restructuring, our views and input are important to them. They are inviting us to
provide our comments in writing before June 15, 2000. He includes a schedule of
community meetings.

1-2 Robert A. Richards, President & Chief Administrative Officer, Ontario Property
Assessment Corporation, providing Council with the Ontario Property
Assessment Corporation's financial statements for the year ending
December 31, 1999, as well as their first Corporate Report. These documents
have been prepared as required by the Ontario Property Assessment Corporation
Act. They are also reminding their members that they will be holding the
Corporation's second Annual General Meeting in conjunction with the AMO
Annual Conference 2000 in Ottawa.
(Receive for Information)
1-3 The Honourable Paul Martin, Minister of Finance, addressing the problem of
petroleum product prices and federal taxes. He would like to point out that the
recent price increases of petroleum products are attributable to a substantial rise in
the world price of crude oil, not federal taxes. The price of crude oil per barrel
has increased by two and a half times over the past year. Federal taxes on
gasoline and diesel fuel have remained unchanged during the recent period of
price increases. It is important to note that revenues from federal taxes -
including the excise tax on gasoline and diesel - go into the Consolidated
Revenues Fund. These revenues are used to support a broad range of federal
programs that are enjoyed and valued by all Canadians - programs such as health
care, post- secondary education, seniors' benefits and national defence. With
respect to suggestions to reduce federal taxes on fuel products, Canadians have
told the government that reducing personal income taxes should be the
government's priority. The government has listened to Canadians. The five -year
tax reduction plan announced in Budget 2000 builds on this government's
commitment to reduce taxes. In particular the measures announced in this budget
will reduce taxes by a cumulative amount of at least $58 billion over the next five
years. He would also note that the indication of the personal income tax system
announced in Budget 2000 will help offset the impact of price changes of
products, such as gasoline and diesel fuel, on taxpayers.

(Receive for Information)
I - 13 Howard Noseworthy, General Manager, Ontario Fur Managers Federation,
advising the Municipality of Clarington that we will likely be contacted in the
future regarding urban trapping by -laws or other trapping controls. At this time,
they wish to advise us of some important facts pertaining to trapping and problem
animal control in Ontario. All of Ontario's trappers inust be licensed under the
authority of the Ministry of Natural Resources, and all new trappers must undergo
a mandatory training program before qualifying to be licensed. All members of
the Ontario Fur Managers Federation carry $2,000,000 in third party liability
insurance, completely covering their legal fur harvesting and problem animal
control activities. Ontario is facing its first outbreak of raccoon rabies.
Compounding the problem is that raccoons are quite comfortable living in close
proximity to humans, meaning that any spread of this disease is likely to
necessitate urban, as well as rural control. Any ill- conceived trapping by -laws
have the potential to hamstring a control program. On a more regular basis,
trappers are called upon to assist in the removal of beaver that may be causing
flooding of roads or property, or to assist in predator control on livestock farms,
more and more of which are being encompassed within the boundaries of
expanding communities. In all of these cases, trappers can only effectively
respond within the confines of the law, and using approved devices. They are
encouraging the municipality to carefully consider the implications and
ramifications.

1-14 Inspector Ross Smith, Officer -in- Charge, Clarington Community Police Office,

10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. and anticipate another exciting day for the children.

Rickard Recreational Complex located at Highway #2 and Regional Road #57,
directly south of their police office. Highlights of the day will include
demonstrations and displays by members of their specialized police units, other
emergency services and community groups. There will be free draws for the

1- 15 Doug Hall, Director General, Information Highway Applications Branch, drawing
our attention to Industry Canada's Community Access Program (CAP) which is
part of the federal government's initiative to make Canada the most connected
country in the world. The Internet has become a powerful tool for economic and
social development in today's global, lalowledge -based economy, and the
Government of Canada is committee to providing affordable access to all
Canadians. In this context, the purpose of the CAP is to establish sites where the
public can have access to computers and the Internet. Our community does not
yet have a CAP site and as there are only 3 competitions remaining. Mr. Hall
strongly encourages us to participate in this program now so that our community
can reap the benefits. By submitting a competitive proposal to CAP, our
community may receive up to $20,000 per site to make affordable public Internet
access a reality. This is the final year for proposals and the next submission
deadline is May 31, 2000.

1-16 Neil MacLeod, Director General, Natural Resources Canada, providing a copy of
the Improving Energy Efficiency Act, 1997 - 1999. This sixth report under the
Act reviews the progress of the energy efficiency and alternative energy (EAE)
initiatives of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) during the 1997 -1998 and 1998-
1999 fiscal years. These initiatives are a critical foundation on which Canada can
build its climate change national implementation strategy. NRCan's EAE
initiatives are designed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by lessening
the amount of energy required for a given level of service, or by replacing some
carbon - intensive energy sources with energy generated from sources that produce
fewer or no GHG emissions, such as wind power or small hydro power. This
report contains many quantified indicators of the progress of NRCan's initiatives
in improving energy use. Between 1990 and 1997, significant progress has been
achieved, as indicated in Table 1 of the report. Since many factors affect energy
consumption, however, it is not always possible to establish a perfect causal link
between changes in energy use and NRCan's EAE initiatives; more work, needs to
be done in this area. Future reports will further refine these indicators and
develop additional ones.

I -17 John R. O'Toole, MPP, Durham, regarding support for an Ontarians with
Disabilities Act. Mr. O'Toole agrees with the need to introduce such an Act and
can assure us that the government of Ontario is committed to this legislation.
However, to ensure that the Act effectively addresses the needs of disabled
Ontarians, consultations with all stakeholders in this issue are under way. This
government has taken a leadership role in promoting equal opportunity and access
for persons with disabilities. In fact, over $500 million has already been invested
in new programs for disabled people that will help maximize their opportunities.
Summary of Correspondence - 6 - May 29, 2000
They remain committed to a reasonable and responsible removal of barriers of
persons with disabilities and are equally committee to the passing of an Ontarians
with Disabilities Act.

I - 18 Jim Pine, Secretary- Treasurer, Association of Municipalities of Ontario, advising

Secretary - Treasurer is requesting nominations to the 2000 -2001 AMO Board of
Directors. The names of all qualified individuals who are duly nominated will
appear on the ballot for elections to the Board. Please note, that Directors of the
Rural Caucus were elected at the February 2000 ROMA /OGRA conference in
accordance with AMO By -law No. 1. If the municipality wishes to nominate a
person for election to the Board of Directors, we should submit a resolution
indicating the full name of the nominee, his or her municipal title, and the office
for which the person is being nominated. Nominations will be received until
4:30 p.m. on Monday, July 31, 2000.

1-19 John R. O'Toole, MPP, Durham, advising the Municipality of Clarington of a
recent letter from the Honourable Helen Johns, Minister of Citizenship, Culture
and Recreation regarding Retirement Homes. In her correspondence, the Minister
notes that her, Parliamentary Assistant has consulted province -wide on this subject
with all stakeholders. Currently, the government is looking at ways to increase
consumer awareness and provide protection. Mr. O'Toole's concern is that we
must know where lodging, rest and retirement homes are located, their staffing
levels, services and the effectiveness of their operations.

I - 20 Association of Municipalities of Ontario, Ontario 2000 Budget provides program
support for municipalities. Today's budget returns to municipalities some of the
benefits of their contribution to Ontario's balanced budget. Among the measures
announced are commitments for:
• A new Ontario Small Town and Rural Development Initiative
• Continuation of the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation
• SuperBuild Millennium Partnerships initiative
• SuperBuild Sports, Culture and Tourism Partnerships initiative
• Community Policing Partnership Program will be made a permanent program
While the need for infrastructure support, including roads, bridges, transit, and
environmental works still outweighs the response in today's budget, AMO's
President, Michael Power is pleased that SuperBuild will be structured to provide
the opportunity for all types of municipalities to participate. Details of program
criteria and process for all these investment strategies are not available as yet.
Summary of Correspondence - 7 - May 29, 2000

1-22 Jim Wilson, Minister of Energy, Science and Technology, advising Council of a
province -wide advertising campaign to build awareness among electricity
customers, alerting them to the changes in the marketplace and advising them
where they can get information. Ontario's 4.5 million electricity consumers now
have the power to choose their electricity retailer from among a number of
competing companies. While these companies will not actually deliver service
until later this year, licensed retailers have begun offering their services to
electricity customers across the province. The start of retailing could mean that
Ontarians will be looking for answers to questions resulting from information
distributed by retailers or a visit to their front door from a retail representative.

Appendix A to the draft Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB)
Strategic Transportation Plan be endorsed as a first step towards
co- ordinated transportation planning in the Greater Toronto
Area/Hamilton- Wentworth;

GTSB Strategic Transportation Plan until the Greater Toronto
Services Board provides further assessments of the draft Plan's:
effectiveness and performance in meeting transportation
and growth objectives; and
Summary of Correspondence - 8 - May 29, 2000
financial implications of the initiatives, including potential
funding sources, responsibilities, priority and timing;
C) THAT the draft GTSB Strategic Transportation Plan be revised to
address the comments offered in Joint Report #2000 -J -10 of the
Commissioners of Planning, Works and Finance, including:
• improving the balance between transit and roads;
• recognizing the need to expand the arterial road network to
accommodate future growth and development, transit
service and goods and services movement;
• outlining how the proposed facilities and services identified
will support growth objectives; and
• recognizing the need for a transportation plan which
provides a longer range vision beyond the year 2021.
d) THAT the comments on the Recommended Actions for
Implementing the Draft GTSB Strategic Transportation Plan
contained in Attachment 2 to Joint Report #2000 -J -10 of the
Commissioners of Planning, Works and Finance be endorsed; and
e) THAT copies of Joint Report #2000 -J -10 of the Commissioners of
Planning, Works and Finance be forwarded to the Greater Toronto
Services Board, the Ministry of Transportation, GO Transit, the

CORRESPONDENCE FOR DIRECTION
D - 1 Lesley Craig, Fundraising Coordinator, Durham East Chapter, Heart and Stroke
Foundation of Ontario, informing the municipality about an exciting fund raising
program, the Big Bike for Stroke Event, which is scheduled to visit Bowmanville
July 9, 2000. The Big Bike is a thirty -seat cycle which carries teams of twenty -
nine riders plus one driver provided by the owner of the Big Bike. Participants
are asked to raise a minimum of $50 in pledges to ride. It is an excellent
community event that helps build team spirit and attracts media attention. This
provides an excellent return for both participating teams and the hosting
community. This year things are on track and they are anticipating eight - twelve
teams to participate. An insurance certificate will be completed in the name of
the Municipality of Clarington. In addition, they will be requesting a police
escort and the Fire Department approval in order to ensure the safety of their ride.

D-2 Eugene Lammerding, Chair, Foundation for Rural Living, presenting the 2'd
Annual Awards of Rural Excellence. The Foundation for Rural Living
successfully launched the Awards of Rural Excellence in 1999. They want to
build on the success of their first year, and they are inviting the municipality to
join them in recognizing and celebrating communities, communities of interest,
organizations and groups who are doing great things to improve the quality of life
in rural Ontario. The Foundation of Rural Living is a non - profit, charitable
organization dedicated to building healthy, sustainable rural communities and
enhancing the agricultural industry in Ontario. The nine Awards of Rural
Excellence recognize outstanding initiatives, and help to build strong rural
communities. Submissions must be postmarked no later than June 30, 2000. The
Awards will be presented at the Ontario Rural Council's annual banquet on
October 30, 2000, in Collingwood.

D - 3 Glenda Gies, President, Port Darlington Community Association Inc., wishing to
organize a community celebration to commemorate the opening of the new bridge
over the mouth of Westside Creek Marsh. The opening of this bridge is a
significant step towards fulfilling obligations under the Principles of
Understanding between the Municipality of Clarington and Blue Circle Cement as
well as establishing a physical link between the PDCA communities of Cedarcrest
Beach Road and Cove Road. They anticipate holding this party from 4:00 p.m. to
11:00 p.m. on Friday, July 7, 2000, in the vicinity of the new bridge. To ensure
that the festivities occur without risk to participants, they ask that the bridge be
closed for the duration of the event.
Summary of Correspondence -10- May 29, 2000
Although the bridge may be officially opened at this date and the Blue Circle haul
road may therefore be closed to public use, it is their understanding that the haul
road will continue to be used for emergency access to Cedarcrest Beach Road,
They therefore ask that Council approve the temporary closing of the bridge from
4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Friday, July 7, 2000, to accommodate their community
party.
(Motion to approve provided the organizers
apply for an obtain a Road Occupancy

D - 4 Oleh Perun, Park President, Mitchell's Corners Park Soccer Club, requesting to
call their park "Mitchell's Corners Park ". Zion Park, when it was created, was
part of Clarington and also a founding member in Oshawa's Neighbourhood
Association and Soccer Council. This was about 65 years ago. Back then there
was a community called Zion. Somewhere along the way, the community
changed its name and became Mitchell's Corners, as they are noted on all road
maps. Several years also, Mr. Perun became involved as a soccer convenor, and
he sent his children to Oshawa. Then Oshawa decided that their children could
not play as a team and had to be pooled out to other Oshawa parks. At this time,
he was approached by Darlington Youth Soccer Club, and they allowed their
children to play together as a community team. They have announced themselves
back to the Darlington Soccer League, as Mitchell's Corners Park, and also have
registered with Durham Girls League in the same way. Unfortunately, the
community of "Zion" has disappeared as we know it, and a little bit of their
history as well.

Summary of Correspondence - 11 - May 29, 2000
D - 6 John R. O'Toole, MPP, Durham, relaying concerns regarding traffic safety in the
area of Nash and Holt Road in Courtice. The constituents described the recent
fatal accident in February 2000 and recounted serious incidents over the past
decade or so. Mr. O'Toole explained to them that there will be a new traffic study
report being prepared for Council sometime in May or June 2000. Nash Road is a
very busy road. Holt Road is also a clear route from Taunton Road to Darlington
OPG site as well as a 401 access. There are traffic volume issues which will
increase in the future. Two of the neighbours on the northwest and southeast
corner of Nash and Holt are very concerned for the safety in this area. They are
anxious to contribute to the resolution of the intersection problem.
(Motion to refer correspondence to the
Director of Public Works)
D-7 Robert B. Goudey, 3 Selwyn Crescent, Kanata, K2K 1N7, requesting resurfacing
of Liberty Street North, from Concession to at least Sunset Road just north of the
railway underpass. This is not a particularly long section but it cries for a new
smooth surface free of hundreds of patches, depressions from utility excavations
and so on. The roadbed seems to be very stable and solid even in view of the very
high traffic volume on the street. Therefore it appears a grinding of the surface
and a new layer of asphalt would do wonders. Would the year 2000 be the year
that this section of street will be resurfaced? He hopes so. He has constantly
listened to his relatives grumble and now that he has been sensitized, every time
he drives this section he finds that repairs are long overdue.
(Motion to refer correspondence to the
Director of Public Works)
D - 8 Sylvia Smith, Volunteer Branch President, Durham Region Branch, Leukemia
Research Fund Canada, requesting the Municipality of Clarington to declare June
as Leukemia Awareness Month and to conduct a flag- raising ceremony with a
flag to be provided by LRFC at the Clarington Municipal Office during the first
week of June 2000. Leukemia is a deadly cancer of the blood that claims the lives
of more children than any other malignancy in Canada and strikes even more
adults, regardless of age, heredity, sex or race. For over forty years, Leukemia
Research Fund of Canada volunteers have been raising funds to support the
important work of Canadian leukemia researchers. Due to this virtual
uninterrupted research, the rate of cure among afflicted children has soared from
5% to 70 %. No other human form of cancer has realized such advances. With
only 30% to go, it is now more important than ever to reach as many Canadians as
possible with their message.

D - 9 Cathryn Rousseau, informing Council of her immense disapproval of the "No
Parking" by -laws in Bowmanville. Mrs. Rousseau and her husband own cars and
for the most part keep them both parked in their driveway. Rarely do they ever
park in front of the house on their street. Once during the winter, we had a severe
snow storm and the plows did not come to clear their street until late the next
afternoon. It was extremely difficult to get out of their street that morning for
work. The night after their street was plowed, they parked one of their vehicles
on the road. They received a ticket for parking between 3:00 and 5 :00 a.m. Had
the storm continued and there been a need for the plow to come onto their street,
she agrees that ticketing their car would have been necessary. What galls her is
that her taxes can pay for someone to come and issue her a ticket at that hour yet
her taxes can't pay for someone to plow her street until a day and a half after the
storm, after they all struggled to get to work. Mrs. Rousseau would like this by-
law removed from the books.

D - 10 Susan Sawyer DaCosta, Orono BIA, requesting permission to hold a Canada Day
Parade on July 1, 2000. They have the Fire, Police and Roads Department sign

D - 11 Fran Harvie, writing to Council regarding representatives of the Oak Ridges Trail
Association. On two occasions Mrs. Harvie or her family have "happened" upon
representatives of the Oak, Ridges Trail Association. She has had numerous
conversations with Roy Forrester and with Jan O'Neill. Ms. O'Neill informed her
that due to the numerous conflicts that Mr. Forrester was considering changing
the trail route. After finally reaching him he informed her that the trail was going
ahead. This "trail" has caused her "right to quiet enjoyment" to be breached and
the safety of not only her home and outbuildings, her family and her immediate
environment, including wildlife, to be compromised. Old or current deer trails
and pathways that they use on the property are not public walking trails. The
original guidelines referred to "abutting or adjoining" -- never did traversing enter
into it. There appears to be no consideration or respect for other parties' property
and she does not wish to constantly police the property against trespassers.

John R. O'Toole, MPP, Durham, writing to Council with respect to the
Safe Streets Act, 1999, which he understands has given rise to certain
concerns in some municipalities and community fund raising groups. The
Highway Traffic Act has always made it an offence for someone, while on
a roadway, to stop or attempt to stop a vehicle to offer or provide any
commodity or service to anyone in the vehicle. Traditionally, law
enforcement agents have worked co-operatively with non-profit charitable
organizations. The Safe Streets Act simply adds that it is an offence to
approach a vehicle to offer a commodity or service, or to solicit for money
while on a roadway. It does not prevent someone from soliciting money
in a non-aggressive manner from people in vehicles, if the person
soliciting is positioned on a sidewalk, shoulder, boulevard, median or
other place that is not a roadway. This government appreciates the
valuable contributions voluntary organizations make to the quality of life
in the province and recognizes how much these activities contribute to the
well-being and strength of Ontario communities. Mr. O'Toole encourages
charities to work with local police services in advance of their activities so
that charities' activities are in compliance with the Safe Streets Act and the
Highway Traffic Act.

thank the Municipality for all the support they have received with their
Activity Centre located at 132 Church Street in Bowmanville. The Centre
has been very successful in providing supports and services to people of
Clarington with developmental disabilities. They have been in operation
since November 1997. The location of 132 Church Street provided them
with their beginning. The support they have received from the
community, partnership agencies and the families has allowed for exciting
results. As part of their role they are looking at future needs in Clarington.
They are aware that within a two year period 25 students with
developmental disabilities will be graduating from Courtice Secondary
School. This is not taking into account the regular referrals they receive
from the community at large. Currently there are 35 registered active
members at the centre. With this in mind, they are planning around the
support demands these changes will bring to Clarington. With all partners
involved, the building at 132 Church Street is being used to its maximum.

Moraine
D02.OA "Faith Base: We believe in the abundance of God's creation and our
responsibility to nurture an ' : it. The New Creed of
The United Church of Canada states that we are called to
live with respect in Creation.
Background: The Oak Ridges Moraine covers a large number of hectares
in the middle of York Presbytery, extending beyond our
eastern and western borders.
The Moraine is an environmentally sensitive area which is not yet fully
understood. It is the source of several streams and rivers. York
Presbytery feels the need for much more comprehensive scientific study to
be done on the Moraine and adjoining regions.
The Moraine is a part of several municipalities, and those municipalities
have not come together to form a common approach to development on
the Moraine. The Provincial Government, the only body capable of the
required research and coordination, has adopted a `hands-off approach,
which may very well leave the critical decisions by default to a few
members of the non -elected Ontario Municipal Board.
It is our view that the potential exists for irreparable damage to be done to
the environment by hasty or ill-considered development on the Moraine.
THERFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that York Presbytery contact the
various municipalities, and the Federal and Provincial
Governments, and the Ontario Municipal Board, asking that a
freeze be placed on development on the Oak Ridges Moraine until
such time as a common environmental study may be made, and so
that the Province, in consultation with the Federal and Municipal
governments, can provide a common, responsible, and properly
funded approach, to ensure both the viability of the ecosystem and
due attention to housing needs; and

programs for young people ages 4 to 18 yrs. in the Courtice area. They
are a non-profit association, operated by volunteers, funded solely through
player registration fees and team sponsorships. This year they have over
500 players registered and a total of 41 teams. The Batting Cage and
Storage Unit they are proposing will greatly enhance their ability to
develop players fundamental skills as well as provide a more convenient
and less costly storage place for uniforms and equipment. A letter
outlining their proposal for the project was sent to Mr. Stephen Vokes,
Director of Public Works. This letter prompted further discussions with
Public Works with respect to project design, costs estimates, etc. and they
value our experience and appreciate our help in this matter. Their
Association has fundraised specifically for this purpose and has
$25,000.00 allocated for the project. Current estimates suggest that this
will not likely cover the entire cost of the project and therefore they are
asking Council's assistance in the form of a grant in the amount of
$5,000.00 to help them with this project.

1-3 The Honourable Paul Martin, Minister of Finance, addressing the problem of
petroleum product prices and federal taxes. He would like to point out that the
recent price increases of petroleum products are attributable to a substantial rise in
the world price of crude oil, not federal taxes. The price of crude oil per barrel
has increased by two and a half times over the past year. Federal taxes on
gasoline and diesel fuel have remained unchanged during the recent period of
price increases. It is important to note that revenues from federal taxes -
including the excise tax on gasoline and diesel - go into the Consolidated
Revenues Fund. These revenues are used to support a broad range of federal
programs that are enjoyed and valued by all Canadians - programs such as health
care, post -secondary education, seniors' benefits and national defence. With
respect to suggestions to reduce federal taxes on fuel products, Canadians have
told the government that reducing personal income taxes should be the
government's priority. The government has listened to Canadians. The five-year
tax reduction plan announced in Budget 2000 builds on this government's
commitment to reduce taxes. In particular the measures announced in this budget
will reduce taxes by a cumulative amount of at least $58 billion over the next five
years. He would also note that the indication of the personal income tax system
announced in Budget 2000 will help offset the impact of price changes of
products, such as gasoline and diesel fuel, on taxpayers.

1- 13 Howard Noseworthy, General Manager, Ontario Fur Managers Federation,
advising the Municipality of Clarington that we will likely be contacted in the
future regarding urban trapping by-laws or other trapping controls. At this time.
they wish to advise us of some important facts pertaining to trapping and problem
animal control in Ontario. All of Ontario's trappers must be licensed under the
authority of the Ministry of Natural Resources, and all new trappers must undergo
a mandatory training program before qualifying to be licensed. All members of
the Ontario Fur Managers Federation carry $2,000,000 in third party liability
insurance, completely covering their legal fur harvesting and problem animal
control activities. Ontario is facing its first outbreak of raccoon rabies.
Compounding the problem is that raccoons are quite comfortable living in close
proximity to humans, meaning that any spread of this disease is likely to
necessitate urban, as well as rural control. Any ill-conceived trapping by-laws
have the potential to hamstring a control program. On a more regular basis,
trappers are called upon to assist in the removal of beaver that may be causing
flooding of roads or property, or to assist in predator control on livestock farms,
more and more of which are being encompassed within the boundaries of
expanding communities. In all of these cases, trappers can only effectively
respond within the confines of the law, and using approved devices. They are
encouraging the municipality to carefully consider the implications and
ramifications.

I - 16 Neil MacLeod, Director General, Natural Resources Canada, providing a copy of
the Improving Energy Efficiency Act, 1997 - 1999. This sixth report under the
Act reviews the progress of the energy efficiency and alternative energy (EAE)
initiatives of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) during the 1997-1998 and 1998-
1999 fiscal years. These initiatives are a critical foundation on which Canada can
build its climate change national implementation strategy. NRCan's EAE
initiatives are designed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by lessening
the amount of energy required for a given level of service, or by replacing some
carbon -intensive energy sources with energy generated from sources that produce
fewer or no GHG emissions, such as wind power or small hydro power. This
report contains many quantified indicators of the progress of NRCan's initiatives
in improving energy use. Between 1990 and 1997, significant progress has been
achieved, as indicated in Table 1 of the report. Since many factors affect energy
consumption, however, it is not always possible to establish a perfect causal link
between changes in energy use and NRCan's EAE initiatives; more work needs to
be done in this area. Future reports will further refine these indicators and
develop additional ones.

D-4 Oleh Perun, Park President, Mitchell's Corners Park Soccer Club, requesting to
call their park "Mitchell's Corners Park". Zion Park, when it was created, was
part of Clarington and also a founding member in Oshawa's Neighbourhood
Association and Soccer Council. This was about 65 years ago. Back then there
was a community called Zion. Somewhere along the way, the community
changed its name and became Mitchell's Corners, as they are noted on all road
maps. Several years also, Mr. Perun became involved as a soccer convenor, and
he sent his children to Oshawa. Then Oshawa decided that their children could
not play as a team and had to be pooled out to other Oshawa parks. At this time,
he was approached by Darlington Youth Soccer Club, and they allowed their
children to play together as a community team. They have announced themselves
back to the Darlington Soccer League, as Mitchell's Corners Park, and also have
registered with Durham Girls League in the same way. Unfortunately, the
community of "Zion" has disappeared as we know it, and a little bit of their
history as well.

of Liberty Street North, from Concession to at least Sunset Road just north of the
railway underpass. This is not a particularly long section but it cries for a new
smooth surface free of hundreds of patches, depressions from utility excavations
and so on. The roadbed seems to be very stable and solid even in view of the very
high traffic volume on the street. Therefore it appears a grinding of the surface
and a new layer of asphalt would do wonders. Would the year 2000 be the year
that this section of street will be resurfaced? He hopes so. He has constantly
listened to his relatives grumble and now that he has been sensitized, every time
he drives this section he finds that repairs are long overdue.

of more children than any other malignancy in Canada and strikes even more
adults, regardless of age, heredity, sex or race. For over forty years, Leukemia
Research Fund of Canada volunteers have been raising funds to support the
important work of Canadian leukemia researchers. Due to this virtual
uninterrupted research, the rate of cure among afflicted children has soared from

Parking" by-laws in Bowmanville. Mrs. Rousseau and her husband own cars and
for the most part keep them both parked in their driveway. Rarely do they ever
park in front of the house on their street. Once during the winter, we had a severe
snow storm and the plows did not come to clear their street until late the next
afternoon. It was extremely difficult to get out of their street that morning for
work. The night after their street was plowed, they parked one of their vehicles
on the road. They received a ticket for parking between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m. Had
the storm continued and there been a need for the plow to come onto their street,
she agrees that ticketing their car would have been necessary. What galls her is
that her taxes can pay for someone to come and issue her a ticket at that hour yet
her taxes can't pay for someone to plow her street until a day and a half after the
storm, after they all struggled to get to work. Mrs. Rousseau would like this by-
law removed from the books.

that due to the numerous conflicts that Mr. Forrester was considering changing
the trail route. After finally reaching him he informed her that the trail was going
ahead. This "trail" has caused her "right to quiet enjoyment" to be breached and
the safety of not only her home and outbuildings, her family and her immediate
environment, including wildlife, to be compromised. Old or current deer trails
and pathways that they use on the property are not public walking trails. The
original guidelines referred to "abutting or adjoining" -- never did traversing enter
into it. There appears to be no consideration or respect for other parties' property
and she does not wish to constantly police the property against trespassers.

educational exchange program sponsored by Canada World Youth. She has been
chosen to participate in the Quebec/Burkina Faso program which will start in the
summer of 2000 for a seven month period. Canada World Youth is a non-profit
organization funded in part by the Canadian International Development Agency
(CIDA), its exchange partners and by private funders. Since its creation in 1971,
Canada World Youth has developed strong ties, relationships and expertise in
more than forty-two countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and
eastern and central Europe. More than 22,000 young people in Canada and
around the world have participated in international educational exchange
programs organized by Canada World Youth. The structure of the program is as
follows: seven Canadian participants are carefully selected to represent various
geographic and demographic backgrounds. Meanwhile, seven youths are selected
by a partner organization in the exchange country. Together, this culturally
diverse group of young people lives and works in a small Canadian community
for approximately 14 weeks. Each.pair of participants - one from each country -
lives with a host family and works together on a local farm or in a local social
services/health care centre. This structure ensures that everyone in the host
community benefits from exposure to different cultural attitudes and values.

Another significant measure of safety system performance is the "Reactor Trip Rate' the number
of unplanned reactor shutdowns (per 7.000 hours of operation) triggered by automatic safety
systems. Reactor trips indicate potential problems that need to be addressed - but thev also
demonstrate that safety systems are working as they should to catch these potential problems.

that may be de -accessioned. He had checked the Royal Ontario Museum policy on de -
accessioning and it is basically the same as ours, specifically that if the item does not meet
our mandate we can de -accession it. Our options are:
- donate or sell to another cultural group.
- trade or exchange.
- hold a public auction, which has to be advertised re public awareness.
- only have to contact loans, but will try to contact donors.
The Collections Committee will meet on May 10 at 6pm to check the records and set

SUMMARY
This research on education development charge implementation is undertaken for the
Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board.
The study undertakes rhe following:
a) The provision ofenrolment yleldfactors for the for varlaus types ofhousing units,
for Clarington.
bj Projections ofthe expected increase in housing units by type in order ro establish rhe
extent and range of residential development.
aj Profectionofthenumbarofelementaryandsecortdatyschoolagedchildren expected
to reside in housing developed from 2000 to 1014 by each of the years 1004, 1009
and 2014. These values are necessary inputs to calculate the net growth -related
pupil places attributable to new development that is required under the Education
Act. 1n the forms to be presen fed to the>finistry of"'Carion, the projections are
done year by year.
dj Estimation of the net growth -related pupil places emanating from those children.
e) Determination of the revenues required from education development charges to
acquire school sites needed to meet the requirements ofnew development.
n Allocation of the revenues required to potential revenue sources_
g) For each ser of assumptions, the determination of rhe required magnitude of the
residential levy per dwelling unit and the non-residential charge per square foot.
2. The implementation OfEDC 's In the form of a By-law req utres, among other things, the
quant{ficarion of rhe impact ofgrowth upon enrolment by projected housing development
over the term of the By -Law. One of the basic determinants of thls impact is the relationship
between housing units and numbers ofchildren of school age.
3. Child/dwelling unit ratios markedly vary over types andages ofhousing units. Singlefamily
units display high ratios in the early years after construction but then decline as they age up
to about 25-30 years and level off wirh minor random variations afler that. This is part of
the neighbourhood ageing effect. Apartments have a ratio which is constant over rime and
much below the rates of even the older single family units. Row housing units have rates
which are constant through rime, are higher than those in apartments, and are lower than
new single family units but higher than older units of that type.

rhbon Analysis Groua
4. In order to determine the number of children expected to reside in housing units built
between 2000 and 2014 it was necessary to derive child generation rates for various types
of housing.
S. It was also necessary to estimate the number, type and distribution ofnew units to be built
from 2000 to 2014 so that these could be multiplied by the child generation ratios described
above. This task was performed in rhe following manner.
a) population projections were prepared far Claringion.
b) the projected popularlons were converted to households.
c) the number of households projected for midyear 1999 was subtracred from the
number ofhouseholds projecredfor 2004 yielding the number ofnet new households
to be added from 2000 to 2004.
d) Itwas assumed that each not now household required the adWdon ofa neurdwelling
unit to the housing stock
e) these units were allocated among single family, row and apartment and units.
the units expectedrobebuilrwithlnClaringronwere allocatedbyTheKawarthaPine
Ridge District School Board elementary and secondary school districts.
g) the number of new housing units was multiplied by the appropriate child per
dwelling unit ratios to yield the number of children expected to reside in these units
in 2004, 2009 and 2014. The year by year projections were produced through
interpolations between the three Larger years.
6, The MbOstryofFducarionrequiresthateducationdevelopmentchargesbecalculatedonthe
basis of "net growth -related pupil places" resulting from housing development over the
fifteen years. They require that any existing surplus capacity in permanent structures or
must be subtracted from the number of children residing in new housing in order to arrive
at "nes growth -related pupil places';
The Ministry also requires that the calculation of net growth -related pupil places be
canducted by "review area ". For this project, Claringion as a whole is designated a review
area.
8.. By 2004, for the elementary system, the total "nor growth -related pupil places" from
development projected for Claringion is 1, 880. In rhe year 2009, development in Clarington

10. The Board plans eleven new elementary school and one secondary school. The acquisition
of the sires for all of these schools and related expenses such as site preparation and study
costs can be funded completely by EDC revenues.
11. The total revenue proposed to be raised by EDC's is 812,562,772.
12. The Board can choose to raise all of the revenue from levies on residential units or it may
raise some as well from non-residential units. The maximum proportion than can be raised
from the latter rype is 40%. We have provided calculations of tite levies under four
assumptions with respect to those proportions.
13. Under the assumption tharresidential levies provide all the revenue, the charge per housing
unit would be 8861. If 90% is to be raised by residential levies each unitwould be charged
8775 and the non-residential developments would pay 80.21 per square foot. 1f855 -4 1s to
be raised by residential levies each unit would be charged 8732 and the non-residential
developments would pay 50.31 per square foot, If80% is to be raised by residential levies,
each unit would be charged S689 and the non-residential developments would pay 80.41 per

ADJOURNED 8:10 PM
COUNCIL DIRECTION D-14
TO:
Mayor Hamre and Members of Council
Date 23rd.March 2000
Subject:Request to Amend By -Law 90-178.
1) I hereby request the Municipality of Clarington to amend the By -Law 90-178, (which relates
to the "setting of fires within the Town of Newcastle"), so as to exempt from the By -Law,
subject to certain conditions, the use of various types of open-air fireplaces, patio heaters,
or campsite heaters, when used for the purpose of entertainment, and /or comfort, during
social gatherings of family members or neighbours and friends, in residential backyards in
the Municipality of Clarington.
2) The reasons for this request are as follows:
The current By -Law is widely ignored by the residents of the Municipality, because
it represents an unreasonable and total ban on a persons right to light a small,
controlled fire, in ones own backyard, for the purpose of entertaining family or
friends while sitting outdoors on a 'coolish' spring, summer or fall evening.
i) The current By -Law takes no account of the fact that there are many types of
outdoor fireplaces for sale in local stores. Recent actions by the Clarington Fire
department in requiring notices to be affixed to these devices in stores, which state
that they may not be used in residential areas, has effectively stopped their sale,
resulting in a loss of income to the store owners.
iii) Many people in the Municipality believe that they may light any kind of fire in their
backyard, providing that they have a bag of marshmallows on hand, so that they
may claim that the fire is being used for "cooking food" - which is the only activity
which is allowed by the local By -Law
iv) I believe that the total ban on the use of outdoor fireplaces in this Municipality is an
unnecessary and unwarranted restriction on my civil liberties. However, I also
believe that the outdoor fireplace must be used in a responsible manner.
3) The Ontario Fire marshall (OFM) issued a communique on 23rd. March of this year, relating
to the use of various types of outdoor fireplaces. This communique states that these fire
places may be used for purposes other than cooking food, and they should therefore be
treated as open air burning appliances under the Ontario Fire Code............_...__.._.__..._____.._..
1 WS- RJBUT70N
However, the OFM recognises that there are advantages from a fire stand oint
associated with the use of open air fireplaces. The communique then set out a number of
guidelines for consideration when assessing the safety of an outdodr f�Ieerorhren4ern^w^^—
r QRICUNAf. T(k
The OFM knows of only one or two fire incidents involving this typel"s 5, �
have been several nuisance smoke complaints from neighbours. L y L
The communique goes on to say that the permit process could be r vised so a:
general exclusion for outdoor fireplaces, based on certain conditions being met.
(para 3 cant.)
For the purpose of facilitating a revision to the By -Law, I have attached a proposed set of
conditions which should be met if an outdoor fireplace is to meet the requirements of the
General Exclusion. These proposals are based upon the guidelines given by the OFM in
the March 23rd. communique, but aiso include certain additional requirements.
Submitted by : John Stephenson
5300, Old Scugog Rd.,
Hampton, Ont.
LOB 1J0
Proposed Conditions for a General Exclusion of Outdoor Fireplaces from the
Provisions of the By -Law Regulating Open Air Fires in the Municipality of
Clarington
1) The fire must be contained in a firebox or pot.
2) The unit must be stable when placed on level ground, such that it is not easily knocked
over.
3) The area of the fire container shall not exceed 0.36 mZ, (approximately 4 square feet) , and
the height of the fire container (excluding the chimney, if fitted) shall not exceed 0.75 m
(approximately 30 inches).
4) The fireplace or pot must burn wood or wood products only.
5) Smoke emissions from the fireplace or firepot must not cause a nuisance or annoyance to
persons on adjacent property
6) When in use, flames must not extend beyond the confinement of the fireplace or pot. The
quantity of wood or other wood product fuel placed in the fireplace or pot must be limited by
the user so as to ensure that this requirement is met.
7) When the fireplace or firepot is in use it must be supervised continuously by a responsible
person. Particular care must be taken to ensure the safety of young children; to ensure that
they do not fall against or touch hot surfaces, and to ensure that light flammable clothing is
not ignited by either direct contact with flames or hot surfaces, or by radiant heat.
8) Adequate fire extinguishing equipment and materials must be readily to hand (e.g. pail of
water, or water hose connected to an outdoor tap)
9) The outdoor fireplace must not be used when wind speeds exceed 15 kph.
10) The outdoor fireplace must not be used between the hours of 12.00 pm (mid -night) and
5.00 a.m.
11) Outdoor fireplaces or firepots must be sold with proper manufacturers safety and operating
instructions.
12) The outdoor fireplace or firepot must be regularly inspected by the owner so as to ensure
that it is free from defects which may result in spilling the burning contents of the fire
container.

I. BACKGROUND
I. I The Municipality of Clarington By-law Enforcement Office received a complaint concerning the
condition of an occupied residential property. The property is municipally known as 3652 Trolls
Road, Courtice.
1.2 An inspection revealed there to be various items and material scattered throughout the unkept,
neglected yard. This included but was not limited to particle board, wood pieces, old appliances,
discarded carpet, mattresses and filled garbage bags. An accessory building in the rear yard was
unmaintained and appeared to be structurally unsound. Other "minor" deficiencies were also noted
on the property.
1.3 A title search confirmed that Ruby Rachael Luke owned the property in question.

Repoii CD -22-00 -2- May 29, 2000
1.4 An Order Requiring Compliance was issued to the property owner Ruby Rachael Luke. This Order
outlined the non -conformities to the Municipality's Property Standards By-law and included the
work necessary to remedy the situation.
1.5 The Order Requiring Compliance was sent by Registered Mail to the owner. Staff attempted to
personally serve a copy of the Order to Mrs. Luke but she refused to meet with officers outside of
her house. This copy was ultimately left in her mailbox. Past experience of various departments
and agencies have shown Mrs. Luke to be somewhat reclusive, making it very difficult to
communicate with her.
1.6 Since the owner did not appeal the terms of the Order to the Property Standards Committee, the
Order was automatically deemed to have been confirmed fourteen (14) days after being served.
1.7 An inspection on May 10, 2000 confirmed the property remained in essentially the same condition
as noted during the prior inspection. The property remains in violation of the Municipality
Property Standards By-law.
l.8 The Building Code Act, S.O. 1992, C.23, Section 15.4(1) states: "if an Order of an Officer under
subsection 15.2(2) is not complied with in accordance with the Order as deemed confirmed or
modified by the Committee or Judge, The Municipality may cause the property to be repaired or
demolished accordingly."
1.9 Section 15.4(4) states: "the Municipality shall have a lean on the land for the amount spent on the
repair or demolition under Section (1) and the amount shall be deemed to be Municipal Real
Property taxes and may be added by the Clerk of the Municipality to the collector's roll and
collected in the same manner and with the same priorities as Municipal Real Property tax."

In view of the length of time, prior to staff involvement, the situation has existed and in view of the
owners lack of wherewithal to carry out the necessary work, staff are requesting Council's
authorization to exercise the option stated in the Building Code Act S.O. 1992, C. 23, Section
15.4(1).
It should be noted that staff will be requesting the assistance of Animal Services and Durham
Regional Police Services when the terms of the Order are carred out.

dated April 27, 2000
REPORT NO.: WD -26-00
2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 On September 27, 1999, at a regular meeting of the Council of the Municipality of
Clarington, Council passed the following Resolution #C-594-99:
"THAT Correspondence Item D-15 be referred to the Director of Public
Works and to the Treasurer."
The Courtice Parks Baseball and Softball Association has subsequently submitted
a revised request. The Association also made separate requests to Council for a
Municipal Grant. (refer to Attachments No. 3 and No. 5).
3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT
3.1 The Courtice Parks Baseball and Softball Association has previously requested
permission from the Public Works Department to install a batting cage facility in
Highland Park (refer to Attachments No. 2 and No. 3). Highland Park is located
at the intersection of George Reynolds Drive and Devondale Street in Courtice
and contains a ball diamond and a soccer field. Public Works staff advised the
Association that they felt this was an unsuitable location.
3.2 After discussions with Public Works Staff, the Association has now requested that
the batting cage facility be located in Penfound Park. The proposed facility will
consist of a chain link fence structure measuring approximately 21.0 metres long
by 4.4 metres wide by 4 metres high. Further, the Association is requesting
approval for an attached equipment storage building measuring approximately 6.1
metres long by 4.4 metres wide (20' x 14'). Penfound Park is located on
Hemmingway Drive adjacent to Mother Theresa Elementary School. The
attached equipment storage building, measuring approximately 6.1 metres long,
would be in addition to the 21 metre long batting cage.
REPORT NO.: WD -26-00
PAGE
3.3 The specific location for the batting cage is situated adjacent to the right field
boundary fence (refer to Attachment No. 1). This area of the park will provide
adequate space for the proposed batting facility without impacting on adjacent
amenities located in the park ' he Association has indicated that an electrical
power supply will be required : ',c automated equipment contained within the
facility. Staff also support the construction of the requested storage building that
will provide storage for all of the equipment owned by the Association.
3.4 The Association has allocated $25,000 toward the cost of the proposed facility.
They have also requested that the Municipality provide assistance with the tender
process for the project. Staff rp ize that the siting of a batting cage facility for
the Courtice area would havc a incorporated into the design of the next
municipal park in the Courtice area. This new construction would have been
funded through development charges.
Although construction of a batting cage facility in Penfound Park is occurring
earlier in the process as well as in an existing park, it eliminates the need to
construct a facility in the next new park. The proposed batting facility will serve
all of Courtice through participation in the Courtice Parks Baseball and Softball
Association. For this reason, Staff is recommending the utilization of
development charge funding in order to cost -share with the Association, on a
50/50 basis.
4.0 CONCLUSIONS
4.1 Based on our review, Staff has concluded that Penfound Park is the most suitable
location for a batting cage facility to be used by the Courtice Parks Baseball and
Softball Association. It is recommended that the costs associated with the design
and installation of the batting cage facility, including grading, landscaping and
provision for an electric power supply, be cost -shared on a 50/50 basis between
the Municipality and the Association. Municipal staff will assist the Association
through the municipal tender process. The additional request by the Association
REPORT NO.: WD -26-00
ner_V c
for an equipment storage building that will provide storage for all the equipment
owned by the Association is supported by Staff. Staff recommends that the
funding for this storage facility, as well as all ancillary equipment (ie. pitching
machine), be borne 100% by the Association.

Mr. Brent Mavin, Public Works, Municipality of Clarington,
40 Temperance Street, Bowmanville, Ontario, 1-1C 3A6
The Executive of Courtice Parks Baseball & Softball Association would like
to present a proposal for the following:
Construction of a Batting Cage with a chain link enclosure encompassing
the whole cage area (approximate overall size: 30'x 120') with electrical
hook-up and fine gravel base similar to design as Whitby (Iroquois Park).
An additional preference would also be a cinder block storage unit
(15' x 20') construction similar to that of a commercial storage facility
attached to the cage area.
Our Association has allocated $25,000 for the above unit, however should
costs be beyond that amount, we would have to apply for funds from an
additional source.
We would grant the Municipality the right to tender this project, along with
our own private estimates, however CPBSA would have the ultimate
decision on awarding the contract.
Preferable location could be at the Highland Gardens Park (George
Reynolds Drive) with the actual placement of the unit between George
Reynolds Dr. and the West side of the players bench. Secondary location
would be Penfound Park (Glenabbey Drive) and unit placement to the
North of the outfield fence.
Your consideration to the above proposal would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Dale Spicer, President - C.P.B.S.A.

Dear Mr. Vokes;
We are writing to confirm with you our proposal with respect to the construction of
a Batting Cage and Storage Unit for the Courtice Parks Baseball and Softball
Association.
Q=
• Construction of a Batting Cage with a chain link enclosure encompassing the
whole cage area (approx. overall size 30' x 120' ) with an electrical outlet and fine
gravel base similar in design to one currently at Iroquois Park in Whitby.
• A Storage Unit (15' x 20') to be constructed within the chain link enclosure of
cinder block construction with steel doors, a concrete floor, and interior light. This
is for storage of equipment, uniforms, pitching machine and accessories.
• Purchase of a pitching machine and supplies of appropriate softballs and
hardballs.
• Above to be located at Penfound Park (Glenabbey Drive) in Courtice.
Our Association has fundraised specifically for this purpose and has $25,000.00
allocated for the project. Should the overall costs exceed that amount, we would
have to apply for funds from an additional source.
We want to make sure that the completed project meets our needs and all necessary
Community standards and we value your experience in these matters. We would
grant the Municipality the right to tender this project, along with our own private
estimates, but reserve the right to make the final decision on awarding of the
contract.

Dear Mayor and Council:
We are writing to request your support and some assistance in the construction of a Battling cage
and 3"rg1* Urtit for the Courtice Parks Baseball and Softball Association.
The. C.P.B.S,A. has, for the last 13 years, been providing summer baseball, softball, 4 -pitch and T-
SM Programs for Young people ages 4 to 18 yrs. in the Courtice area. We are a non-profit
assaaafion, operated by volunteers, funded solely through player registration fees and team
sPonsorshlps. This year we have over 50o players registered and a total of 41 teams.
The '84ftft Cage and Storage Unit we are proposing will greatly enhance our ability to develop
Players fundamental skills as well as provide a more convenient and less costly storage plata for
uniforms and equipment. A letter outlining our proposal for the project was sent to Mr. Stephen
VOkes, Director of public Works and a copy of that letter is attached. This letter prompted further
discussions with Public Works with respect to project design, costs estimates, etc. and we value
their experience and appreciate their help in this matter.
Our Association has fundraised specifically for this purpose and has $25,000.00 allocated for the
Project. Current estimates suggest that this will not likely cover the entire cost of the project arta
therefore we are asking for councii's assistance in the form of a grand in the amount of $5000,00 to
help with us with this project. Further grant application information is attached.
Your consideration of the above proposal and request for funding would be greatly appreciated. We
are available at your convenience to answer any questions or discuss it further and can be
contacted by telephone at our Courtice Parks Baseball and Softball Association telephone 436.1313
or by contacting me at my home phone number 4347094. We respectfully request an opportunity to
address council with our request at your earliest convenience.
