AD'' royal of Minutes 012 -23 Moved by Ted Watson; seconded by Brenda Metcalf _ . __ th "That -,, :the minutes of the:Obtober 99 2012-meeting, be approved " CARRIED Presentations: Mike Porporo from MPAC provided an overview of MPAC, the assessment cycle, and property valuation. He also walked through their online tool, AboutMyPropertyTM, and discussed the process for requests for reconsideration. He indicated that the average increase in farmland values was 34% for Ontario; 28% for Durham Region; and 31% for Clarington. The cost of farmland in Clarington is approximately $8,500 per acre. The discussion following the presentation included a number of questions, of which the answers can be found below: Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington November 8 10, 2012 Farm property assessment values are based on recent farmer to farmer, open market sale transactions where farming is the principal occupation. An increase in assessed value doesn't necessarily translate to increased property taxes. However, if the percentage change of your property is greater than the average percentage change then your property taxes may go up. Taxation is only partially based on the value of the property, while the other variable is the municipality's budgetary requirements and tax rate. Currently, farm property owners in Clarington pay 20% of the residential tax rate. There are several factors at play driving up the price of farm property, including: low interest rates, less available farm land, and an increase in hobby farms. , - In the future, property owners will be able to access all of their previous MPAC assessments (beginning in 2012) online through AboutMyP rope rtyTM Business Arising from Minutes 1) The Farmer's Parade of Lights will be on December .5 th, 2012 beginning at 5:45pm. There was some discussion around the promotion of the event. 2) Faye clarified that the Municipality's perspective on the Lamb's Rd., Interchange is different from that of the MTO. While the MTO would prefer to leave the interchange at Bennett Rd., the Municipality, and the Region would prefer the. interchange to be at 'Lamb's Rd. as it would better service downtown Bo_ wmanville.

Moved by: Carol Little Seconded by: Jo Anne Raymond CARRIED 3. .Arena Manager's Report -Nothing but positive comments were being received over the lobby bleachers, Bryan reported. They worked well for the Clarington Girls Tournament. Particularly, for seniors who prefer not to sit at ice level in the cold rink area. Bryan also advised all is well with programming and staff and he will be completing his vacation time in November _Request from Ron King, again this year for ice time on New Year's Day was discussed at length. As those two hours are the only ice booked for that day, it became a costly situation to bring staff in for his sponsored event. Mr. King has rented New Year's Day ice from 1: ooP.M. 3:00 P.M. for the past several years and invited all his clients, neighbors and friends for a free skate. The board members agreed: That although it was not a profitable day for the arena, the tradition was worth continuing. Ron King of Freedom.55 will be advised of the available ice time. The chair advised: he had heard back from Gym -Con Contractors regarding the invoiced price on the new flooring. They had advised: They would not accept any amount less than what they had invoiced, less the small token discount they had offered. In response, Gord replied, in writing, advising of the arena board members'position on the issue and further advising Gym -Con we would forward a cheque for the quoted amount. Then, refer the matter to the Municipality of Clarington for discussion and further direction. Motion # 12 -129 was proposed: THAT: Payment of the quoted amount of $23,617. oo be forwarded to Gym -Con, immediately and our chair-will follow -up, from his letter, by advising the Municipality of Clar. ington Finance Department of the issue and our position. Moved by: -Bob Holmes Seconded by: Jo Anne Raymond CARRIED (Further to the above motion) — The day after our meeting, Gord was contacted by Mr. Bond of Gym -Con and advised they will, with reluctance, accept the quoted amount and reduce their invoiced price by the $1,goo.00, plus HST. Providing immediate payment was forthcoming. A cheque was issued and mailed October 11th, 2012. No (2) follow -up to the municipality was therefore required. The cheque has been cashed by Gym -Con. Further discussion took place on the addition of another lobby bleacher for the west window, opposite Bryan's office. For financial reasons, at a cost of $1,700.00, it was deferred to a ficture date -perhaps, on our 2013 budget plans. However, a need for accessibility for the handicapped at ice level was discussed. Councillor, Partner offered to contact the Municipality's Accessibility Committee for possible advice on accommodating this need. A further need for employee identification in the building was discussed. Shell Jackets worn over the rink employee's outerwear appeared to be the solution. Bryan offered to acquire pricing and bring it to our next meeting. 4.

OVERT is a registered charitable organization based in Durham. The team consists of specially trained civilians and emergency workers such as firefighters, police officers and paramedics. These "unpaid professionals" come from all walks of life giving themselves for their community. All team members undergo significant ongoing training to ensure that the highest level of service is provided. OVERT is a unique concept in community based emergency response. This new concept is referred to as "second tier response." OVERT is the first program of its type in Ontario that provides the emergency services with a community based "inside the tape" surge capacity. Search and Rescue is the primary function of OVERT providing to the police services highly skilled SAR personnel to assist with search operations for missing persons. We have developed and become more effective and capable of assisting our community during major community emergencies in technical rope rescue, K9 search, Marine capabilities, logistic support, etc. Earlier this year, OVERT was one of the only ones who responded to the water and housing crisis up in Attawapiskat, Ontario. WHY THE PARTNERSHIP? OVERT has an important mandate to assist people both here in our community and abroad when they need it most. Emergency Preparedness is something we take for granted and it's wonderful that there are a group of benevolent volunteers who are ready to assist us in our times of need. OVERT does not receive consistent funding or financial assistance from any government sources. As such, funds to cover operational demands come from fundraising events or private donations. Without these OVERT simply would not be able to operate. The recent partnership with DYN Exports to distribute used clothing bins for donations is a great opportunity to increase the profile of our organization and potential fundraising. ABOUT DYN EXPORTS Established in 1994, employs over 200 people and is located in Vaughan. Their entire business is built around recycling used clothing and transforming these unneeded articles into products for both people in developing countries and by providing efficient and timely products to clients right here in North America. Rather than purchasing used clothing from the United States, DYN would rather credit local charities, as if they were purchasing from the US. This can amount to 41% of proceeds. DYN has established a strong partnership with charities such as SickKids Foundation and now us, OVERT. ABOUT THE PROGRAM Once the bin is placed, DYN takes over. A truck with our logo will come around weekly to pick up the bin contents and inspect the property each time to ensure all is in good order. If there is an issue between pick -ups, a maintenance truck can be sent to address the issue. You may have noticed other bins in the community look unmaintained and don't actually name a charity, misrepresenting themselves. Our bins clearly represent OVERT as the charity including our charity number and contact information. Your support is greatly appreciated! If you have any questions or would like to discuss this opportunity further, please do not hesitate to contact me. Alexis Fry OVERT- Unit Manager 647 - 290 -4381 alexis-fry@hotmaii.com
