We will be pleased to provide an overview of the Chamber's activities and currentlfuture projects at earliest available opportunity. Thank-you for your continuing support of the Oro-Medonte Chamber of Commerce Respectfully, ~ ~ ~ ,- Carol Benedetti Administrative Coordinator OMCC March 14, 2007 Oro-NLedonte Ci2atnber of Co~~z~nerce 148 Line 7 Soutlz, Box 100 Oro, ON LOL 2X0 Phone 705-487-7337 Fn_t i05-487-0133 Mayor Hughes & Members of Council Township of Oro-Medonte Box 100, Oro, ON. LOL 2X0 Re' 2007 Budget Submission Dear Mayor Hughes and Members of Council Attached please find the budget submission from the Oro-Medonte Chamber of Commerce for 2007. We have had a very successful year and look forward to the opportunity to continue our efforts to promote local businesses and assist in the establishment of new businesses in our area. During the past year, our membership has increased and we have undertaken a number of successful ventures to represent and promote business in our Township. The main sources of Chamber Generated Income this past year were Memberships and Special Events/Fundraising Activities. Special events this year included our Annual Business Achievement Awards Dinner and Silent Auction, our Annual General Meeting, a Members Appreciation Night at the Barrie Speedway and a series of Business after Five meetings throughout the year. Of these events, the Silent Auction is our biggest fundraiser and this fall we will be hasting another similar fundraising event in the form of an Oktoberfest Celebration. We also organized a successful series of 5 "All Candidates Meetings" for the Municipal Election and these were very well attended and provided a valuable service to the community. Our website continues to evolve and develop to inform and promote our membership and the community as a whole through the Community Calendar, Member Spotlight features and our News and Events section. This year we added a printable list of members according to business categories as well as an alphabetical listing. This will form the basis for a more comprehensive CommunityBusiness Directory which we plan to produce this year. The Chamber also has a page in the North Simcoe Community News and a Newsletter to keep our members informed. We represent our members at various community events, such as craft shows. These promotional opportunities are all benefits of membership. We are also exploring other advertising opportunities for our membership, such as a display rack for member's brochures and a Tourist Information Kiosk in cooperation with Ontario's Lake Country. We would also like to propose that the chamber could effectively act as an agent in selling available signage to our members at locations throughout the Township, such as those located inside the Oro Arena. This could provide another source of funds for the chamber, a service to the Township and increased benefit to our membership. Chamber members are business people who believe in Business in Oro-Medonte and recognize the value of getting involved. There is a wealth of business experience within our Chamber we would welcome the opportunity to provide more input to the Township in the area of Economic Development. Regular meetings between Chamber Members and Township Council and Staff would benefit us all. The Chamber also plans to continue to serve the Community as a whole by facilitating Community Information Meetings around specific areas of concern, such as water conservation, health care and physician recruitment. Over the past year the Chamber has represented Oro-Medonte by serving on the working committees and boards of other organizations similazly concerned with Regional Economic Development, such as the Orillia Area Community Development Corporation and The Ontario's Lake Country Moving Forward Task Force. We plan to continue this. At this point, I feel it is important to emphasize that all of these events and projects are supplemented by many volunteer hours and in kind donations from our membership. Venues and facilities are often donated and countless volunteer hours, both in labour and expertise, go into the organizing and running of events and participating in community initiatives. While it is impossible to accurately reflect the dollar value of these contributions, it is Significant. The Oro-Medonte Chamber of Commerce appreciates the generous support of the Township ofOro-Medonte. In 2007 we look forward to continuing this mutual relationship and respectfully request that Township Council consider our request for $18,000 in order to expand our initiatives. Yours sincerely, Rick Dory, President Carol Benedetti, Coordinator The Oro-Medonte Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.

The library won the Ministers Award for Innovation for the Lifescapes program! ~~~~- TECHNICAL SERVICES REPORT December 2006 Circulation For the first time in several years, we appear to have avoided a decrease in circulation - The number of items borrowed in 2006, (245,318) is virtually identical to 2005 (245070). Figures continued to drop in December over last year, but our good first half was enough to hold off the declines in the 2„a half of 2006. New borrowers were virtually the same for both years, 2155 in 2005 against 2117 in 2006. Sundays remain a popular day to use the library, with our average Sunday circulation up about 6%. Circulation staff held a Christmas book sale, in December netting over $900 for our reserve funds. The circulation department was also involved in moving our non-fiction DVDs to the general non-fiction collection on the 2"d floor, and interfiling them. The collection had long outgrown the makeshift locations staff had found for them. Thanks to weeding efforts led by Kelli Absalom, there was some space available on the non-fiction shelves. Technical Processing Joyce Keddy remained on bereavement leave for December, but is planning to return in January. Much thanks to Jocelyn White in helping with processing and mending, and Gail Matthews and Susan Dance for taking up much of her other work. With the December statistics in, it seems that in 2006 we had negative growth in the collection for the first time in a number of years, deselecting 1.2 items for every new one we added. Such an achievement is necessary to gain the space for the acquisition and shelving of new materials.

The Simcoe County Chapter of the MS Society of Canada would like to continue to call attention to this disease on behalf of the 75,000 Canadians and their families who live with MS. At present, there is no known cause and no cure for MS. In the Simcoe County Chapter we provide pamphlets, educational events, five support groups, newsletters, memberships, act as a last resort to provide funding for the cost of equipment and provide funds for some housekeeping. As well, we wntribute to Research to help in the on-going search for a cause and a cure for MS. To these ends, we must continuously fundraise as we receive no Government funding. Our Mission Statement is: "To be a leader in finding a cure for Multiple Sclerosis and enabling those affected by MS to enhance their quality of life': In accordance with our Mission Statement, in the last year, the Simcoe County Chapter spent $68,000 on equipment and services as well as gave $65,000 to Research. We ask that you proclaim May as MS Awareness Month in your community. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to hearing fram you. Sincerely, eanette Elliott, Chair, Simcoe County Chapter, MS Society of Canada.

I am writing on behalf of the local Groups which have members who reside in the Township of Oro-Medonte. We are requesting that Mayor and Council please review the attached Proclamation Certificate which is provided for your convenience by Scouts Canada. We would be very pleased if you would consider completing it or something similar as a way to help us celebrate the important milestone of 100 years. It will mean a great deal to our Youth members and Adult Volunteers to receive your support. We are making the same request to neighbouring Cities, Towns and Townships which are part of our Scouting area which is called Wendake Shores Area. They include the City of Orillia, the Towns of Midland and Penetanguishene and the Townships of Severn, Tiny, Tay and Ramara. If you wish further information, please contact me by e-mail speedybuttons@rogers.com or by phoning 705-325- 1198. Ilook forward to being informed of your decision. Thank You.

There was strong interest shown for development of this site in both the Township survey and a similar survey conducted by HVPOA. Our intent will be to identify what types of facilities could be accommodated on the site and to engage the residents to determine which of these facilities they want and what the priority should be. We hope to conduct this work in close cooperation with the Township in order to ensure that the proposed facilities are complementary to other facilities in the area and that major facilities are not duplicated. To assist us in this task, it would be helpful if your staff were to provide us with copies of any background data (e.g. topo maps, property boundaries, etc.) and any comments received from the public meetings dealing with the Results of the Survey, the 4th line Park and the Sweetwater Park. We look forward to working with the municipality on this project and would hope to move it forward as quickly as possible. Yours truly ~fac Shte!!s R( ~ (A ~ 191 ~ 1'11 MAR 0 9 2007 ORO-MEDONTE t ~ F; °" ~ :,, ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Graham To: _harr~ughesC~oro-medonte:c_a Sent: Sunday, March 11, 2007 5:13 PM Subject: I forgot the salutation dust control on dirt roads The Mayor and Council I live at 449 Line 6 South, Oro-Medonte I am writing to request that you do not use EssoFlex 250 (Virgin OiI} on the roads where I live and drive. In fact, I do not want any oil product used. The EssoFlex has to be the worst choice for road use not only because it damages the environment but also because it is dirty and extremely difficult to clean off cars and shoes and anything it adheres to. It was expensive to clean up our house, cars, clothes, shoes and even our dog because of the oily muck on all of them. I would guess the extra expense I incurred due to Essoflex was well over $100. It also meant a strong unpleasant odour from the fumes all summer. It prevented us from going for a walk or letting our dog anywhere near the road. The only way we could get the oil off was to use gas for cleaning. I also feel that this product must be very damaging to the environment. Not only does it affect the ditches, streams and farm fields near by but the run off must eventually flow into Lake Sincoe. Surely Lake Simcoe is endangered enough without adding unnecessary oil runoff from our roads. We need to protect our lake not pollute it. I would therefore, request that instead of this awful product that you use something that is environmentally safe for dust control. If you insist on using this type of product perhaps you need to give residents the option of refusing the treatment for the road that they drive on. It does not help to just eliminate it in front of a house as we use the whole length of the road to get to the paved section if we are driving and we also like to walk on the roads with our dog for more than just the area in front of our house. In the Esso literature they state; "Precautions, Essoflex is collected from the production of high viscosity industrial oils that may contain additives and heavy metals. As with all petroleum products good personal hygiene and careful handling should always be practiced. Avoid prolonged contact with the skin, splashing into the eyes, ingestion or vapour inhalation" This indicates to me that the product is potentially dangerous and harmful to our health due to potential heavy metals and fumes When it is on a road, humans cannot avoid contact and inhaling the fumes. We also don't know the long term affects. 3/13/2007 Page 2 of 2 1 ~`~ Here are some examples of the problems Essoflex caused. p.. Several times my car and my wife's car had to go through a car wash as many as 4 times on the same day.Each trip through they charged me $5. Even then, not all the oily muck came off. I I had to go home to wash and scrape off the oily muck with a powerful detergent to get it all off.To keep my car even reasonable looking, I would have to do this almost every 2 weeks. The inside of the car, especially the car mats, was a mess as the oil ends up on our shoes and then on the mats. I had to replace the mats as I could not get them clean.This cost adds up. Also, our shoes and boots were covered in oil and cleaning them was difficult. I had to throw out my walking shoes. I am writing to ask you to use common sense and vote to stop using the Essoflex on our roads. I am reasonably sure that any councillor living on a dirt road that had this oil on it would vote against using it again. Sincerely Ken Graham 3/13/2007 1 ~. - ~ TOWNSHIP OF ORO-MTDONTE REPORT Dept.

Part 1, Reference Plan 51 R- Date: 18928 - 23 Small Crescent March 12, 2007 Motion # R.M. File #: Date: Roll #: 010-005-20188 BACKG In November 1989, the former Township of Oro sold Part Lot 16, Concession 14 (Oro), Part 1, Reference Plan 51 R-18928 - 23 Small Crescent in the North Oro Industrial Park to Orillia Drain Service Ltd. At the time of sale the property was subject to covenants and restrictions which were registered on title. In November 2002, the Township of Oro-Medonte entered into a Site Plan Control Agreement with Orillia Drain Service Ltd. for the construction of a 50' x 100' commercial office and storage building on 23 Small Crescent. On March 5, 2007, the Township of Oro-Medonte received correspondence from Ron Sillick regarding the sale of 23 Small Crescent by the registered owner. The restrictions and covenants from 1989 are still registered on title against the property. Mr. Sillick, on behalf of the registered owner, has requested release of the restrictions and covenants. ANALYSIS: The covenants and restrictions which were registered on title were to: 1. place a time limit on development of the site (within one year); 2. subject the property to Site Plan Control; 3. give the option to the Township of Oro to repurchase the property if covenants and restrictions were not met within the required time frame; 4. deem construction to be commenced when a building permit was issued; and 5. restrict the purchaser from selling the lands unless certain provisions had been complied with. s C"1 r* t Subsequent to the execution of the Site Plan Control Agreement in 2002, the owner obtained a building permit to erect a 50' x 100' commercial office and storage building, and commenced construction. Given that a Site Plan Control Agreement has been entered into, and that a commercial building has been constructed on 23 Small Court, it is recommended that Council authorize the Mayor and Clerk to provide a Release of Restrictions for Part Lot 16, Concession 14 (Oro), Part 1, Reference Plan 51 R-18928, Township of Oro-Medonte. RECOMMENDATION 1. THAT Report No. ADM 2007-006 be received and adopted. 2.
