Church, Orchard Park, Mount Slaven and Marchmont. The Ready to Read Wizards Club also filled quickly. COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND PUBLICITY Michelle hosted three class visits in June: four senior kindergarten classes from Harriet Todd and two grade one class from Guardian Angels. Michelle did a great job of organizing and implementing the programs for these groups as they were all large groups of combined classes with total of 40-50 children in each group. Suzanne presented the monthly Library Storytime at the Ontario Early Years Center on the second Wednesday of the month. Over 4000 brochures were distributed to all children between JK to Grade 6 in the City of Orillia and all contracting townships through the schools in promotion of our summer reader's club and to promote summer reading. Ready to Read book lists and three summer reader's club booklists (based on reading level) were produced. \\)b-S REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF CHILDREN'S AND AUDIO VISUAL SERVICES JULY AND AUGUST 2004 PROGRAMS TO Summer Readers Club July and August were extremely busy months for programs. Our school age TD Summer Reader's Club, Fire Up Your Imagination: Dragons, Books, and Quests began the second week of July and finished the third week of August. This program was very popular with two hundred and eighty four children registering for the program and close to two hundred attending the closing parties. Programs were offered throughout the summer on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and afternoons, with an average attendance of forty children. Some of the program highlights included a great performance by Bertolt the Explorer who introduced the children to a troll and then took them on a quest. In the afternoon, Bertolt taught some of the Reader's Club members to juggle. Merlin the Magician also performed a magic show and offered a magic workshop. Other highlights included becoming a Wizard for a Day, becoming a Dragonoligist, visiting an Ogres Swamp, making Castles, discovering why "You Wouldn't Want to be a Kid in Medieval Times" and learning to draw Dragons with John Kenwell (art teacher). Kelly, Lee, Michelle, Suzanne, Christie, and Student Pages, Kristen, Melissa, Michelle, and Kinga worked very hard to create a wonderful summer reading experience for the children this summer. The children read and reported to children's staff members on 2493 books. As a result of their successful reading quest, they freed Princess Read-a-Lot and brought a new inhabitant to the Children's Department. We now have a baby dragon-alias-an albino gecko who the Reader's Club members named Princess Dragula. Highlights of the summer programs can be seen on the Kidstuff web page. Every child who reported on a book was given an opportunity to win a prize. Most of the prizes were donated by local businesses as were the prizes awarded in the prize bag for all members who completed their reading quest. A big thank you goes out to Kings Buffet who catered all four of the closing parties for a total of 200 children (and a few staff members). \u ~ -~ The decrease in July may be attributed to a new method for displaying suggested reading for the summer. We pulled all the books from our Reader's Club Reading list, plus many extras, color coded them according to reading level and then displayed them in color display boxes. In July children and parents were easily able to find age appropriate good books to read. As a result of the demand for these books, selection was not quite as good in the boxes as many of the titles were out. In addition, children who wished to collect all their genre stickers required help finding books to match the genre they needed to complete. Use of the computers was up quite substantially in both July and August. July saw a forty seven per cent increase and August saw a seventy three per cent increase. Much of this increase is a result of the increase in use of the multi- media computer. Last year, the multi-media computer was not working for most of July and for the first two weeks of August. In addition, we have added short term internet use on this computer and we have added Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban CD ROM. Fred installed a new Dell computer at our multi-media computer station as well as replacing one other public computer. These computers provide faster and better access to the sites the children like to visit and they are not constantly breaking down, as occurred with the computers these replaced. 5T AFF Christie McPhee, worked as a summer student helping with Children's programming. She completed an eight week contract on August 19. Christie was an enthusiastic member of the children's staff over the summer. Christie helped with the school age programming and planned and implemented the Ready to Read Club and the Community Outreach programming we offered this summer. Christie was hired with a half and half grant from the Federal Government through the Summer Career Placement Program. PROPERTY A new shelving unit was assembled and replaced an A-frame which had shelves collapse earlier in the year. The shelving unit matches the two units purchased in 2003. COLLECTION MAINTENANCE Staff and pages are cleaning, shifting and shelf reading all the non-fiction shelves in Children's Services after a very busy summer. \()'o -l Ready to Read The Summer Ready to Read program is geared to children who are working on their reading skills. They are in kindergarten, junior kindergarten, or entering kindergarten and are from 3-6 years of age. Our summer student is responsible for organizing and running this program. This year's student Christie McPhee did an amazing job. Her programs were organized, well thought out and held the attention of a sometimes very large group. We had over eighty children registered in this program and offered drop-in programs on Wednesday mornings and afternoons. Every week the children in this program reported on the books they had read either independently, or together with a parent or sibling. The children received stickers and a puzzle piece for reporting. Christie threw a fabulous fairytale party for the Ready to Read members at the end of the summer and let them choose a special prize from the treasure chest. COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND PROMOTION Christie visited the summer camp at Central Preschool and offered a weekly reading program in conjunction with our school age reading club. Parks and Recreation preschool summer camp visited the library on Friday afternoons for a story time with Christie through July and August. Thanks to the efforts of Kelly Smith we received a large number of prizes we could offer to our Summer Reader's Club members. We would like to offer a big thank you to the following businesses who donated prizes: A & W, Apple Annies, Arby's, The Bike Stop, Bird House Nature Co., Boston Pizza, Burger King, Canadian Tire, Dairy Queen, Domino's Pizza, East Side Mario's, Food Basics, Grand & Toy, Harvey's, IGA, Jack And Maddy's, Kelsey's, Kings Buffet, Lahay's Craft and Hobby, Little Caesar's Pizza, McDonalds, Manticore Books, Movie Warehouse, Mr. Sub (Downtown), National Grocers, New York Fries, Orillia Cinema 4, Pita Pit, Pizzaville, Quizno's, Radio Shack, Red Caboose, Shoppers Drug Mart, Staples, Subway (Memorial Ave), Wal-Mart, Webbers Downtown, Wendy's, Zehrs Markets, Zellers, TD Bank. REFERENCE The number of reference questions answered by Children's Services staff decreased in July by fourteen per cent over July of 2003. However the statistics for August showed an increase of twenty per cent over August 2003. \ ()~ -~ MONTHLY REPORT DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION SERVICES JUNE 2004 A new homepage has been installed for Adult Services to provide a coordinated look with the Children's page. The Web Page Committee continues to look at ways to improve online access to the library. There were no adult programs held in June. Jayne Turvey is busy planning next fall's series which will start in September. She is also busy planning the Volunteer Fair which is to be held at City Hall in September to recruit volunteers. Hopefully, this will increase the number of people who are willing to help at the library. The shelf reading/weeding program which staff began in the spring is progressing well and I have many titles to assess for weeding over the summer. This should provide the non-fiction floor with some extra shelf space for a short time. The spring publishing season is now over and titles are being ordered for the fall and on into 2004. By ordering prepublication through Library Services Centre, the library is able to obtain a 40 percent discount on most titles and all titles come catalogued and shelf-ready and they arrive about the same time that the new books are received at the bookstores. Although reference queries were up in May, they are down in June when compared to last year, so we seem to have been experiencing a roller coaster phenomenon for the last few months. However, overall, questions are up by 13 per cent for the first six months, when compared to last year at this time.. Internet usage is also down over last year when June 2003 and June 2004 are compared, but the hours Heather Cleavley, the CAP instructor, was tutoring at 9 a.m. still skew the comparison. The CAP grant ended at the end of July, so a more realistic figure for August will demonstrate if usage is up or down for the month. But overall, usage is up by five per cent for the six months this year over last. Since I have lost my connection to the business community which presented itself at the COD Committee, I attended the June meeting of the Orillia Business Women's Association to see if this might provide a substitute. I also attended the Homeless Maze, a workshop to familiarize organizations with the problems the homeless face and what services are available to them. I was invited to attend the meetings of the Records Retention Committee at the City to provide input to it and to familiarize myself with the records that might be eligible for digitization in the future. Laura's assistant will meet with library staff to review our files to see if the TOMRMS system might be applicable to library records. MONTHLY REPORT DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION SERVICES JULY 2004 \()"o - ~ July saw the return of Gail Ward to a full time schedule in the Information Services department and an end to the extra hours given to Michelle and Lynn Lockhart, both of whom had very kindly volunteered to share the extra hours to cover her shift each week. I met with Kathie Mendez of Information Orillia to see if there was something the library could do to keep Information Orillia afloat. As a result, I am now on the Board of Information Orillia and am the recording secretary. The new board members are working hard to find solutions to previous problems and funding problems. With the assistance of Gail Ward, I gave a tour to 10 clients and three support workers from the Community Living Simcoe group. Most of the group had little or no literacy skills. They were interested in materials to do job searches and resumes. A meeting was held with Jayne Turvey, Volunteer Coordinator, Joyce Dempsey, Circulation and David Rowe to discuss materials lost by the Nursing and Retirement Homes. It was decided to draw up a contract that the nursing homes would have' to sign, agreeing to pay for any materials lost. If materials are paid for, service to the homes will resume. David Rowe, Fred Marlow and I met with Allison Standen to discuss computer management software and print management software for the 2005 budget submission. They now have a small library's version that is half the price of the software budgeted for unsuccessfully in 2004 that offers the same features. We will visit libraries in the area who have purchased the software to see how it works and if they are happy with it. Use of both the commercial indexes to periodicals and the Frost Papers continue to increase. More shut-ins were serviced in the month. Although we have recruited some new volunteers, the volunteer hours were still down for the month, but perhaps they will increase as the new people recruited start to volunteer. MONTHLY REPORT DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION SERVICES August 2004 \()'D ~\() August seemed to be a popular month for staff holidays, so Information Services was short staffed for most of the month. A "float" page was hired to cover the hours that the regular pages could not manage. This page will also shelve books to help with the backlog in shelving. Joanna Rolland has volunteered to take over two projects for us. She has been indexing the Don Hunter scrapbooks, donated to us by his family, via Wendy Hutchings and the Museum of History. Lynn Lockhart. Information Assistant and computer whiz, has created a database for her in Access and she will begin to research the possible sources of grants and input the information into this database. Both projects are very valuable and we very much appreciate her time. As a result of my meeting with Information Orillia last month, I have been appointed a Director of Information Orillia. Meetings have been held to try to establish the current financial position of the organization and to return it to its former position as a vital source of community information. ( I have agreed to take a co-op student from ODCVI for the fall term. As well as job shadowing, this student will perform needed clerical tasks in Orilliana. She will start during the last week in September and will continue until mid-January. A number of staff visited Bradford Public Library to see how PC Reservation, a PC management software package that will allow patrons to book their own computers for the Internet and will automatically limit them to one hour. They also have LPT:One that would allow us to control printing from the Internet and catch the many copies that patrons now take without payment. More patrons used the Internet this month over the same month last year (2046 users) and more needed assistance, reflecting the fact that we lost our computer trainer at the end of July last year. The online products were used more and the homepage was accessed more times this year than last. Volunteer hours are still down, but only by 7 hours over last year at this time, so hopefully this reflects a trend. \ CJ~ - \ \ REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF TECHNICAL SERVICES JUNE 2004 Circulation The total of sales for the May sidewalk book sale was $744.30, after 2 sunny ~ut cold days. This does not include the cost of staff time. Circulation for June'was up slightly from June 2003, but is still down over the whole year by almost 4%. The project to clean up the catalogue database moved into higher geat in June, with over 674 item records withdrawn. These were for items lost, never returned, "phantoms" in the system, and other mysteries. Systems A number of new staff and public computers and equipment were installed in June, including a new staff network printer, and new Geoweb OP ACs. Technical Processing In order to free up some space in Orilliana, Susan Dance began moving second copies of Ori1liana materials to the Stacks storage area. Report of the Director of Technical Services July & August 2004 \ \)b-\~ Circulation We purchased new barcode scanners and receipt printers for the circulation desk in July, to replace ones that had been in service since 1997. It took 4 hours on the telephone with Geac support staff to configure the scanners, but they and the printers will be much faster than the present ones. In August we loaned 14 of our art reproductions to a company moving into Orillia who needed some temporary cover for their bare walls. Joyce Dempsey assisted the people making their selection. Technical Processing We held the annual summer book sale, as part of the downtown's summer sidewalk sale, on July 24 and 25. The weather was good both days, and we collected $519.10 in all. Gail Matthews was a tremendous help in completing an update ofthe inventory of our equipment, furniture and shelves for insurance purposes. This year we labeled each piece of furniture and equipment with an identification number, so they can be identified and tracked on our lists. The total estimated replacement value of the library's contents is $7,018,547, the bulk of that being the collections, at about $5.5 million. Systems On July 28 Fred Marlow, Dan Kehoe (City IT manager) and myselfre-arranged the computer room, installing a server cabinet to house some of our equipment. (The cabinet was courtesy of Joyce and Kent Dempsey). This freed up a little space in the room when we shifted some of the other equipment around.

Steven McCreary Concession 9, Part of Lot 4, 51 R-32887, Part 1 (Oro) Date: Motion # - . ')-:\ ')nnA A.M. File No. Date: D14 013834 I' ~I BACKGROUND: The purpose of this report is to consider the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment application submitted by Steven McCreary. The intent of this application was to rezone a parcel of land that was severed by the Committee of Adjustment for residential purposes in April 2004. The application applies to lands legally described as Concession 9, Part of Lot 4, more specifically described as RP 51 R-32887, Part 1 in the Township of Oro-Medonte (formerly Oro). The intent of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is to rezone the subject lands from the Agricultural/Rural (AlRU) Zone to the Rural Residential Two (RUR2) Zone. LYSIS: In April 2004, the Committee of Adjustment granted a consent application for a new lot of approximately 1.9 hectares (4.75 acres) in total land area which was intended to be utilized for residential purposes. As the parcel was currently zoned Agricultural/Rural (AlRU), the Committee of Adjustment included a condition in their decision that required the severed lot to be rezoned to a residential zone to reflect the intended usage. The applicant submitted the application for rezoning and a public meeting as required by the Planning Act was held on September 20, 2004. No concerns were received at the public meeting and written comments were received from the NVCA indicating that they had no objection to the approval of the proposed re-zoning. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment would conform with the intent and policies of the Oro-Medonte Official Plan and the County of Simcoe Official Plan. On this basis, it is recommended that a Zoning By- law Amendment be given favorable consideration by Council. OMMENDATION (5): 1. THAT this report be received and adopted; and 2. That a zoning by-law amendment for Steven McCreary, that would rezone the lands described as Part of Lot 4, Concession 9, being RP 51 R-32887, Part 1 (Oro), on Schedule A 17 of Zoning By- law 97-95, as amended from the Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) Zone to the Rural Residential Two (RUR2) Zone be given favorable consideration; and 3. That the Clerk bring forward the appropriate by-law for Council's consideration. Respectfully submitted, ._-~<CJ:. ~ ,J Andria Leigh, MCI~ RPP Senior Planner C.A.O. Comments: Date: C.A.O. De t.

This annual event is intended to raise public consciousness about waste and its environmental and social ramifications. During October 18 - 24th, 2004 the theme "Too Good to Waste" will be promoted throughout schools, businesses and municipalities. WRW in Canada informs and engages Canadians through the distribution of promotional posters and resource kits and an interactive website. Through these materials, participants are provided with specific facts and statistics on wasteful practices as well as practical activities to help them contribute to waste free living. The Recycling Council of Ontario is asking for each municipality to support our continual effort to educate the public about waste reduction. The RCO is respectfully asking your council to declare the week of October 18 - 24th, 2004 Waste Reduction Week in Canada in your community. A proclamation from your council will significantly increase the profile of Waste Reduction Week. Please place this request on your next council meeting agenda. A sample proclamation is available for viewing on the website; www.wrwcanada.com. one has also been included for you with this letter. All proclamations collected throughout Canada will be listed on the website. This will help to raise your municipality's environmental profile and show support on a national front for waste reduction. Proclamations will be accepted by mail and as a facsimile. Please send to: Recycling Council of Ontario Attn: Nicole Parsons 51 Wolseley Street, 2nd floor Toronto, ON M5T 1 A4 or Fax: 416-960-8053 If you have any questions, contact me at 416-657-2797 ext.5 or wrw@rco.on.ca.

Ralph Hough" 148 line 7 South, BOX 100 ORO,ONT> LOL2XO September, 27,2004 Dear Mr. Hough; I am writing to follow up on concerns I originally expressed to you by phone surrounding the new West Ridge subdivision for the City ofOrillia. Concerns which I felt strongly enough about, to bring to your attention in the hope you might attend with me & other concerned residents of my subdivision, the City of Orillia council meeting which took place on { JUNE 29} & thus assure representation & support from Oro- Medonte Township. Simply stated my concerns, which are similar to the Hon. Doug Lewis, & other neighbors, are over traffic flow through our neighborhood, & over possible ground water alterations caused by the aforementioned project. When challenged by me in front of cameras, the mayor of Orillia was quick to offer assurances, our wells would be monitored, likely not affected, and that if they were, the developer would have to make good. In this event, the prospect of weekly trucked in water, does not impress nor satisfy my concerns at all .At the very least, I need those same assurances, and in writing, from the township I support & pay my taxes too [ ORO- MEDONTE] ! Concerning traffic flow, I strongly urge that there be NO STREET D as per. the plan, allowed as an entrance for the new subdivision, onto Bass Lake Side Road. Failing that option, other alternatives, & less desirable, would be to block off access to our neighborhood altogether from Bass Lake Side Road, or to make Hepinstalll Orsi one-way streets only. In closing, it was made clear to the Mayor of Orillia, that the City of Orillia, & the developer, have not been communicating well, with us, the concerned affected neighbors of the project. I ask for similar due consideration & evidence of concern & support from you our elected representative, & from the township of Oro-Medonte. Will our ORO Mayor go before camera, & make similar assurances, our rights & concerns will be fully acknowledged, & acted upon? Respectfully submitted, Mr. Jim McPherson & DR S.
