Ms. McKenzie stated that March 26, 2013, is Global International Epilepsy Day. She requested Council to proclaim "Epilepsy Awareness Day and Go Purple" to support families who live with epilepsy every day.

Council Meeting Minutes - 4 - March 25, 2013 Mark Canning addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item D — 5 - Big Brothers Big Sisters Clarington — Road Hockey Tournament. Mr. Canning stated the 3rd Annual Road Hockey Tournament will take place on May 11, 2013, in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring programs. Mr. Canning invited members of Council to form a team and to issue a challenge to staff to participate in the tournament. Mark Canning addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item D - 12 - Veridian Connections Appointment, Mr. Canning stated that he was addressing Council as a taxpayer and shareholder of Clarington but clarified that his comments were no reflection on the current appointee. Mr. Canning stated that he is concerned that the process for selecting applicants as per the Shareholders' Agreement was not followed and that the appointment of Councillor Novak should be reconsidered. Mr. Canning is concerned with setting this type of precedent. Jim Richards addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item D — 12 - Veridian Connections Appointment. Mr. Richards provided background information on the appointment of both Members of Council and the nomination of members of the public to the Veridian Connections Board. He expressed concern that the recent appointment of Councillor Novak to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Erin O'Toole has been filled by a third politician, not a member of the public as is the intent. Mr. Richards is concerned that Veridian has ignored the request of Clarington Council to rescind the appointment of Councillor Novak. Mr. Richard requested Councillor Novak to respect the democratic will of Council and to resign her seat immediately and failing that, he urged Council to take whatever steps are necessary to remove Councillor Novak from the Veridian Board. Jim Richards addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item D — 16 - Veridian Board(s) Member Compensation. Mr. Richards provided background information on the compensation paid to members of the Veridian Board noting Board members receive $3,000 for attending each meeting. He stated that Councillor Novak received in excess of $95,000 in payment over the period 2009 to 2012, a sum which he feels is outrageous for attending a few meetings, noting there are many hard - working people in the community who would not make $3,000 for a month's work, let alone for attending a meeting for a few hours. Mr. Richards suggested that the practice of this kind of remuneration should come to an immediate halt and suggested that Council should recommend to the other member municipalities that Veridian Board members be reimbursed for legitimate expenses only. Council Meeting Minutes - 5 - March 25, 2013 Linda Gasser addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item D — 12 - Veridian Connections Appointment. Ms. Gasser stated that although she is no longer a resident of Clarington, she is concerned with matters of process, political transparency, fairness and accountability at all levels. Ms. Gasser provided a chronology of events regarding the appointment of Councillor Novak to fill the position vacated by Erin O'Toole. Ms. Gasser is concerned that the appointment of Councillor Novak is one more example of cronyism. She stated that while the appointment of Councillor Novak may be legal, she questions whether the appointment is in the best interest of Clarington ratepayers and Council. Ms. Gasser questioned if Council is going to let others bypass them and make what should have been a Council decision or act to ensure that all members of the Veridian Corporation and Veridian Connections Boards are fully informed of Council's position on the appointment of Councillor Novak. Linda Gasser addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item D — 16 - Veridian Board(s) Member Compensation echoing comments of Mr. Richards. Ms. Gasser feels that citizen members should be compensated to some degree. She indicated that a number of people have argued that politicians are well paid and that this compensation is completely out of line for what is required for the position. Ms. Gasser confirmed that she is not a Veridian ratepayer but suggested that these matters would be best discussed by Council before making the next set of appointments.

Presentations: Dan McMorrow is a dairy farmer and insurance broker specializing in farm insurance. Dan provided a quick overvieW,_ofhis approach to getting the best coverage. Doing things without insurance is very risky, as you never know when you are going to be dragged into a lawsuit. As a farmer you should make sure that when someone comes to work on your farm they are insured as they can damage your livelihood. Dan's motto is "if everything is done right, then the insurance company has to pay ". Read you policy, you are most likely covered for things that you did not realize, like your attendance at fairs (typically 5 per year), selling of produce, contamination of milk (e.g. a truckload). Some additional items may require riders, such as a B +B operation or home business. One of the big issues currently is oil tanks, insurance companies are looking to limit their liability based on some other incidents that have caused major clean -up operations. Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington March 14 ",2013 Mutual insurance companies cannot make money, if they do they are supposed to do rebates, Dan has not seen a rebate in about 20 years. The difference between coverage for $1 million liability and $5 million does ,not go up proportionally, liability limits are your guarantee against someone's stupidity. The additional charge to get the higher coverage may be worth it. Liability for buildings can be combined, especially if the buildings are set apart, the likelihood of a disaster happening with all the buildings at once is unlikely. Typically the inflation adjustment on houses is 3% per year but you can ask for another evaluation; barns would not be that high and it is why a combined policy may be an option. Other items available are riders for boarding, grazing endorsements, PAL (party alcohol liability) insurance for special events (even if there is no alcohol), errors /omissions and director's liability for boards and volunteer commitments. Signs do not prdtect you, insurance does. Bottom line is that insurance companies will not tnsure for stuffthat they know is going to happen,.for example if you are in a flood zone and it has flooded numerous times they will no longer insure for flooding. Business Arising from Minutes Letter to Minister Wynne has gone out=with resolution about 407 farmland leases'attached. CBOT Tour - Don and Laura Wood from CBOT, provided invitations and an update on the planning for a tour. Arrangements have been finalized_with the farms.

The following comments are submitted for your consideration by Conservation Ontario (CO), which is the network of Ontario's 36 Conservation Authorities (CAs). These comments are not intended to limit your consideration of comments submitted individually by Conservation Authorities. Proposal #1: Add approximately 255 hectares (630 acres) of provincially owned lands in the Town of Oakville to the Greenbelt. The lands are part of the Glenorchy Conservation Area and would be subject to the Protected Countryside policies of the Greenbelt Plan. Conservations Authorities are supportive of the inclusion of the Glenorchy Conservation Area in the Greenbelt Plan. The Glenorchy lands are located in Conservation Halton's watershed. It is felt that the inclusion of the Glenorchy Conservation Area within the Greenbelt Plan will highlight the importance of these lands within the broader natural heritage system and will add to the existing protection afforded to these lands both through Conservation Halton's management as well as the Town of Oakville's Official Plan designations. Conservation Halton will be providing a letter directly to the Ministry indicating their support for Glenorchy's inclusion. P.0, Box 11, '120 Bayview Parkway Newmarket Ontario L3Y 4W3 Tel: (905) 895 -0716 Fax: (905) 895 -0751 Email: into conservationontario.ca 1 wit w. conservatior onlario. ca Schedule H -2 of March 19, 2013 Conservation Authorities are similarly supportive of the proposed regulation (EBR# 011 -6330) to expand the Greenbelt Area in order to enable the policy coverage of the Greenbelt Plan to be extended to the Glenorchy lands. Proposal #2: Add a new Urban River Valley designation to the Greenbelt Plan to facilitate adding publicly owned lands in urban river valleys currently outside the Greenbelt Plan. The proposed designation would rely on municipal official plan policies for direction in urban river valley areas. Conservation Authority staff were supportive in principle of this proposed initiative. Conservation Authorities welcome the Province's continued efforts to expand the protection offered to natural heritage systems in Southern Ontario and connecting the Greenbelt to the surrounding Great Lakes. In spite of this support for the Province's efforts, there were multiple concerns expressed in regard to this proposal. The proposed amendment would allow only publicly owned lands in urban river valleys to be included in the Greenbelt Plan. In reviewing this proposal, CA staff expressed concern that including only publicly owned lands may result in a patchwork of Greenbelt Plan designations along,river valleys, as a result of differing ownership of the land, This appears to be contrary to the systems -based approach that the Greenbelt Plan advocates, In addition, the requirement to complete survey work for all of the lands to be included in the designation would be costly to the municipality. It is noted that no provincial funding for completing this survey work has been identified at this time. Conservation Authority staff were also concerned that the proposed Greenbelt designation would rely solely on municipal Official Plan policies for direction in urban river valley areas. Given that there is no specific suite of policies proposed for.the urban river valley designated lands, the protection afforded to the river valleys would remain effectively the same as currently exists within Official Plans, Conservation Authority regulations and other municipal by -laws that already protect these areas. It is unclear whether the Greenbelt designation would contribute significantly to the protection of these features, While the creation of a specific suite of policies for urban river valley designated lands is supported by CAs, urban river valley systems often have competing demands and require management for multiple purposes. These demands may be different than what are experienced in more rural or agricultural parts of the Province. These uses may include recreational, infrastructure, restoration, and the remediation of flooding and erosion hazards, There may be challenges with the compatibility of existing Greenbelt Policies related to Key Natural Heritage Features and Key Hydrologic Features with the competing uses within an urban river valley system. It is recommended that the province work with municipalities and Conservation Authorities to identify appropriate policies for these important systems. In addition, Conservation Authority staff require further direction on what specifically would be considered an "urban rivervalley ". While Conservation Authority staff are highly supportive of enhancing protection for urban river valleys, a number of implementation issues have been identified with the current proposal to add a new urban river valley designation to publicly owned lands outside of the Greenbelt Plan. It is recommended that the province consider amending the proposal to include both public and private lands to encourage a systems approach to valleyland protection; that a specific suite of policies be developed in conjunction with municipalities and CAs for this new Greenbelt designation; and that these policies should take into P,O.

Once again, thank you.for the opportunity to provide comment on the proposal "Growing the Greenbelt — Proposed amendment to the Greenbelt Plan — Glenorchy Lands and Urban River Valleys" and the accompanying "Growing the Greenbelt — Proposed amendment to the Greenbelt Area boundary regulation ". Conservation' Authorities welcome the Province's continued efforts to expand the protection offered to natural heritage systems in Southern Ontario. Overall they were highly supportive of the inclusion of the Glenorchy Conservation Area in the Greenbelt Plan as well as the accompanying regulation.

Bryan had done his due= diligence on the cordless unit and requested the funding to purchase it immediately. His plan was to have it on location for early April, when the ice was removed. After discussion, the following motion was put forward. Motion # 13 -111 was proposed: THAT: Bryan be given the go -ahead to purchase the new floor polisher and battery pack. The purchase of the equipment was not to exceed $6,000.00. Three price quotes had been obtained; reasonably close in cost. Bryan would make his own decision on whom to purchase it from. Moved by: Larry Burke Seconded by: Gord Blaker W.I.V94-111TWX The municipality's operations department had conducted an inspection of the arena's extension ladder and had taken it out of service.

The old ladder is currently listed for sale as a household ladder; on Kijiji, at $100.00. Quotations were also acquired from Bath Fitters Inc. for both shower stalls. The change room showers are a continual problem to the staff. With new flooring installed in the change rooms and hallway, last summer, we are in need of a solution. Bath Fitters quotes came in at $6,300.00 per unit. Gord Blalcer is securing another quote, before we make a decision on this. Something will be done this summer, in this regard. Quotations requests are also out for the lobby and washrooms floor area. However, this project may have to be put on hold for next summer.

Dan provided a quick overview ofrhis approach to getting the best coverage. Doing things without insurance is very risky, as yosu never know when you are going to be dragged into a lawsuit, As a farmer you should make sure that when someone comes to work on your farm they are insured as they can damage your livelihood. Dan's motto is "if everything is done right, then the insurance company has to pay ". Read you policy, you are most likely covered for things, that you did not realize, like your attendance at fairs (typically 5 per year), selling of produce, contamination of milk (e.g, a truckload). Some additional items may require riders, such as a B +B operation or home business. One of the big issues currently is oil tanks, insurance companies are looking to limit their liability based on some other incidents that have caused major clean -up operations. Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington March 14th, 2013 Mutual insurance companies cannot make money, if they do they are supposed to do rebates, Dan has not seen a rebate in about 20 years, The difference between coverage for $1 million liability and $5 million does ,not go up proportionally, liability limits are your guarantee against someone's stupidity. The additional charge to get the higher coverage may be worth it. Liability for buildings can be combined, especially if the buildings are set apart, the likelihood of a disaster happening with all the buildings at once is unlikely. Typically the inflation adjustment on houses is 3% per year but you can ask for another evaluation; barns would not be that high and it is why a combined policy may be an option. Other items available are riders for boarding, pa g grazing endorse'�iyents, PAL (party alcohol liability) insurance for special events (even if there is no alcohol) Errgrs %omissions and director's liability for boards and volunteer commitments. Signs do not prA."- you, insurance does. Bottom line is that insurance companies will noti'- ;;insure for s uff�that they know is going to happen,,for example if you are in a flood zone _-_a" "nid''it has. flooded'numerous. times they will no longer insure for flooding. r.i Business Arising from Minutes' -` Letter to Minister Wynne has, gone out v�!ith resolution about "407 farmland leasesiattached, CBOT Tour - Don and Laura Wood ;from'�GBQT, provid'eq rlvitations and an update on the planning for a tour.
