(Motion to Proclaim) D - 3 Sid Ryan, President, CUPE Ontario, requesting Council to proclaim October 30, 2002, as "Child Care Worker Appreciation Day ", a recognition day for the many people who work providing care to children in the Clarington community. Many of these workers (usually women) work for low wages and little recognition for the important work they do. They provide us with care for our children - an essential service. (Motion for Proclaim) D - 4 Suzanne McCrimmon, Economic Development Manager, Clarington Board of Trade, requesting a joint partnership in the Business Retention and Expansion project.

Ultimately, communities will have greater success in attracting new business if existing businesses are content with local economic conditions and community support. (Motion to refer correspondence to the Chief Administrative Officer) D - 5 Julie Siciliano, requesting Council to erect lights at the park directly opposite her house on Varcoe Road, for security reasons. This park contains a baseball diamond, a large open field and two small parkettes. It has been a late night meeting place for groups of people (often teenagers and young adults) to drink liquor, smoke /ingest drugs and light fires in public garbage cans. The fact that the park is unlit at night makes it a perfect spot for these individuals to engage in these illegal activities, The Durham Regional Police are aware of these activities and occasionally drive through the park at night or fly overhead by helicopter as an attempt to enforce security and order. As a local resident, she is concerned that these kinds of activities are taking place in such close proximity to where she lives. It is unsafe for her or her teenage children to walk through the park at night and she feels insecure going to sleep at night knowing there are intoxicated teenagers across the street. (Motion to refer correspondence to the Director of Operations) Summary of Correspondence -10- October 28, 2002 D - 6 W. Kay Lycett on behalf of Wade Puk, requesting Council to legally close a portion of Maynard Road that is not presently maintained by the Municipality.

(Motion to refer correspondence to the Director of Engineering) D - 7 Daniel Millette, requesting Council to build a permanent skateboard park in Courtice. Mr. Millette is a 15 year old who loves to skateboard but he would be more interested in skateboarding if he had more designated areas. He is aware that there is a skateboard park in Bowmanville and that there is a mobile one but it would be a lot easier to have a skateboard park in Courtice. Some people think that they are up to no good, that is not true, some people ruin it for others. Another solution could be to pave a flat parking lot with wooden ramps bolted down or perhaps some concrete ramps, curbs and other things they could use. (Motion to refer correspondence to the Director of Community Services) D - 8 Janet Lange, Humane Society of Durham Region, requesting Council for financial support. Ms. Lange is a volunteer with the Humane Society of Durham Region. The facility that the Humane Society uses is in need of repair. The building does not have a proper ventilation system, and the lighting system is disgraceful in most areas. At night most of the animals are left in the dark because the night lights do not work. There is also not enough space for all the animals and, on average, they have to turn away 2 - 3 dogs per week. Recently the wagon they use to transport donated food and any large abandoned or abused animals to the shelter had broken down for good. They cannot afford to fix it. They are in need of desperate help financially, not just to make the place look good but to keep it running up to par and to keep the cycle of adoption and awareness going. (Motion to advise of municipal grant policy) D - 9 Local Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Clarington, requesting Council to proclaim the week of November 6 to 13, 2002, as Unity in Diversity Week.

The Orono BIA is currently in the process of having their Christmas Wreaths for the main street refurbished. They have been using these light fixtures for the last 12 - 15 years and they need to be reworked. The work has been quoted at $5,000.00.
