DELEGATIONS
Bernice Chamberlain addressed Council concerning Item 3 of Report #1 - Trudeau
Drive School Access Walkway Closure. She informed Council that she is concerned
that there are a group of Trudeau Drive residents who are requesting that Council
close the Trudeau Drive School Access Walkway, but they are not representing all
residents. She explained that she is concerned that the closure of the walkway will
result in lower property values. Ms. Chamberlain acknowledged that there are
problems with the walkway, but that it is not related to the students, but rather
problems with night activity. She noted that these types of problems are also
occurring at other Clarington walkways. Ms. Chamberlain informed Council that the
meeting held at Bowmanville High School did not include those who want the walkway
to remain open. She noted that there were only 43 homes surveyed, with 37 in favour
of closure and 6 against. Ms. Chamberlain explained that everyone who purchased
the houses in the area were aware of the walkway when they purchased. She noted
that 208 homes are in the area, but only 43 homes were surveyed, the majority of
which do not have school aged children. Ms. Chamberlain noted that most of the
traffic problems are related to those that live in the area. She added that she and her
daughter have performed an informal traffic survey in October, 2012, showing 23 -28
cars stopped twice a day showing between 122 and 138 students using the walkway
twice a day. Ms. Chamberlain related stories of local residents causing traffic
problems. In conclusion, she urged Council to keep the walkway open.

allocation;

allocation based on the Provincial Municipal Fiscal Circumstances
Index (MFCI) appears to penalize the Township for having its fiscal

uploads, which is proposed to increase, more than three times, the

administration costs;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:
1. THAT the Township of Uxbridge strongly urge the Region of

12.34 Moved by Bonnie Seto; seconded by Allan Kirby
THAT-the ClaringtonHeritage Committee currently has Karina Isert,
Karin Murphy and `Isabel Little as signing officers on the Committee's
bank account; however, 'having received the resignation of Karina Isert
as Treasurer the Committee has determined that it will turn the
remaining funds in its bank account over to the Municipality to be
managed as a reserve for the committee's use. The Clarington
Heritage Committee authorizes the appointment of Karin Murphy and
Angela Tibb'les, Chairperson as signing officers and further the
Committee authorizes the closure of BMO Bank Account # 0307 8081-
748 in the name of Clarington Heritage Committee, based on the
signatures of Karin Murphy and Angela Tibbles.
Once the funds are moved within the Municipality, the Committee should be requesting
an annual budget which will be included in the budget documents. An annual budget will
provide the committee with the ability to spend funding much as it has in the past, by
9
resolution at a meeting. The operational process would be a cheque requisition from
Planning to Finance based on the committee's resolution and the budget. If additional
funds are necessary for an unforeseen expense a resolution from Council would be
required to release the funds from the reserve. For the 2013 Budget it was suggested
that the categories of membership; conferences /workshops and education and
miscellaneous be used. From the past years the values of $100, $200 and $200
respectively would appear to suffice.
After some discussion, it was suggested that the memberships budget of $100.00
remain the same as proposed, that the education budget be increased to $500.00 and,
that the miscellaneous budget be increased to $300,00ti If the funds are not used then
they revert back to the reserve for use in future vears.

2. Updates
Site maps for Kiosks
At the November meeting forty un- laminated maps were printed for installation at the
east and west kiosk. The previous laminated maps had been gone missing as users were
not returning them to the kiosks. Melanie McArthur and Pat Mulcahy installed the new
maps. Karin Murphy reported that the remaining maps were very wet after being exposed
to the elements.
The committee discussed ways to protect the maps from wet weather.In.the spring the
committee will look into a' mailbox" style of dispenser with a lid. In the interim
additional laminated versions of the map will be put out at the kiosks.
Waterfront Trail connection at Toronto Street
One of the recommendations of Clarington's Bike Friendly Committee was to improve a
section of the Waterfront Trail where it meets Toronto Street. The trail currently'comes
out to the road on a decline and is angled to the north. Cyclists have identified this area as
a safety concern since the current configuration forces cyclists out onto the road to
continue southbound on Toronto Street.
A capital project to reconstruct this connection has been included for Council's
consideration in the 2013 capital budget.
The SWNA committee believes that a stop sign for cyclists at Toronto Street would be
sufficient to alert cyclists to make a safe transition onto the road.
Great Lakes Guardian Community Fund
An application to the Great Lakes Guardian Community Fund has been submitted
requesting funding to improve the Lake Access Trail on the east side of the wetland.
No new information has been received from MOE so the status of the application is still
unknown.
2013 Wish List
The committee was asked to consider projects and activities they would like to undertake
in 2013. Some items suggested were;
- Removal of invasive species.
- Installation of signs along the new woodland trail
- Installation of tree identification markers along the trails

CLARINGTON AGRICULTURAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING
.THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13th, 2012
e
Presentations:
uan
Ron Albright introduced the process that is being undertaken for the Transportation Master Plan
and Dan Campbell. Dan's presentation is attached. The reason for the attendance of Ron and
Dan is to gather input into the preliminary steps of the Clarington Transportation Master Plan.
The discussion following the presentation included a number of questions and comments:
- guiderails make the road narrower and obstruct farm equipment from being able to hang over
the ditch out of the way of oncoming traffic, the policy on barriers and guiderails is protection
for 3 metre depths and specific slopes (4:1 or steeper) at road sides
- there needs to be better consideration for setbacks of guiderails at driveways and roadsides
to accommodate large vehicles and the turning radii of them
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington
December 13`', 2012
1 -3
- in the near urban and urban areas the stoplights provide gaps where farm equipment can
enter the flow of traffic, the timing on the stoplights needs to be synchronized
- many drivers are impatient and pass in unsafe locations or miss other road signs (like stop
signs) as they are passing
- improvements in the transportation system are costly, who pays?
incorporation of bike lanes gives an advantage to farm machinery as it gives them
somewhere to go to get out of the way.
- if most rural road rights of way are 66' and the road surface is 24' then move the ditches out
to the edge of the road right of way to allow more shoulder space
- farmers are using much bigger trucks and. machinery than before therefore the corner turning
radii have to be adjusted for rural roads
- overhanging trees impede large machinery
- culverts going into farm driveways have to be longer /wider
- mail boxes in rural areas are an impediment to farm machinery
- the MTO position on funding sidewalks on MTO owned bridges and culverts in the rural areas
is counter to their policy of trying to encourage other modes of transportation and in particular
cycling
- signage on roads is often obstructing farm machinery from pulling over, also the sightlines
from a tractor or combine are different than a car so the height of road signs needs to be
visible for all while. not impeding sight lines from higher vehicles
- agriculture is not just about getting goods out of the field and farm, it is also about getting
.them in, half -load restrictions affect the delivery of seed, fertilizer and tile drainage,
exceptions should be considered as it affects corporate profits of farms, also pulling the half -
load season earlier would assist, or modifying it to deal with the different north /south micro -
climatic zone,
- signs that war !drivers �)at gricultu is hF 1pE ling m he area are a ;ouraged
- until the 407 Ifinishe(, otr „, oads/ 4e b ; z ing � - ._ °jccess; „ across the 7th and 8th

- some urban do r t even tio� i what tl. ”' ft Jn machinery and therefore have a "LA hard time understanding its rate of travel, they follow too closely
- cycling and agricultural routes in the countryside are mostly the same and shared
opportunities exist to provide infrastructure beneficial to both
- aggressive cyclists who ride in larger groups and ride 3 -4 abreast are an issue
- curbed corners in near urban areas are an impediment for farm machinery
Business Arising from Minutes
1) The Farmer's Parade of Lights on December 5th, 2012 was very successful, 19 floats. Eric's
wrap -up e-mail did not indicate any issues.
Correspondence and Council Referrals
1) Faye distributed the resolution that Council passed on December 3' regarding the
cancellation of farm leases on MTO lands for the 407. This was a result of the comments
from the Agriculture Advisory Committee and Clarington Board of Trade. Staff will continue
to monitor the situation and apprise the committee of any response from MTO and the other
ministries notified.
2) Mayor John Henry attended Council seeking support of the position of Oshawa Council
against the Ethanol Plant. He was informed of the endorsement by the Agriculture Advisory
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington December 13th, 2012
Committee. Council received his delegation for information and suggested he attend a
committee meeting.
Liaison Reports
DAAC —No report.
DRFA —DRFA new President is Ken Lamb, continue to look for additional directors for
Clarington. Meeting on November 13th had a presentation on predation by coyotes and what
can be done about them. Farm Connections have been informed by the public school board (20
schools) that depending on the Bill 115 issues the attendance of these schools may not be
possible as it is an extra - curricular activity. The DRFA is working on an Agriculture Education
Strategy, currently they are collecting background information on the ways and amount of time
different groups spend providing agricultural education.
CBOT — Don expressed his appreciation for being included in the CTMP stakeholders, as it is
an example of how the agricultural community is being consulted and listened to, much like the
input he has at the CBOT. Working on having a tour of farm operations for Directors and
Councillors. CBOT is working on developing position papers of the impacts of provincial and
federal policies so that when dignitaries come to the area they can be provided with the impacts.
3) Jenni informed the group of the issue of scrappers looking for metal on farm sites, there
have been some local farmers that have experienced theft for the value of the metal. This
issue has been identified to the Safe Communities Committee.
4) Jenni informed the group that the reason for OPG lighting the new building in the Energy
Park currently is that the lights when first installed have to "burn -off', the crews are working
24 hours /day and are 6 months ahead of schedule, the sensors to control the lights and shut
them off automatically (LEEDS building) have not been installed and finally security.
Future Agendas
The Director of Finance/Treasurer will attend as a follow -up to the MPAC presentation in the
new year. Suggestions for other meeting are Rolf Kluem DRPS and Erin O'Toole.
John moved to Adjourn
Next Meeting January 10, 2013, 7:30 p.m. Dan McMorrow will attend regarding insurance
implications for on -farm retail sales.
