SS s_~ems In April we experienced difficulties with the back-up system on our main Geac Advance server, u$ich houses the critical software and data for our automated system. The data is backed up onto a tape cassette every evening. Where we had experience occasional problems with back-up failure, we were now having constantly failing backups. ebb-`1 After determining it was a problem with hardware, Sun Systems sent a technician from Toronto with a new tape unit. We installed it and waited to see if it worked. The next day, we discovered that, for totally unknown reasons, it would only work with 1 brand of tape. The Sun technician returned with a new tape drive. The backup worked on that, but a cleaning tape got stuck, and wouldn't come out. Since we had watched and helped the technician replace the tape drive twice, Sun sent us another one to install ourselves. This one finally worked! Our backups are now working properly. Serious Book Club The Serious Book Club has been meeting regularly every month (except for March), and had a record turnout of 10 attendees in April.

ELECTION OF EXECUTIVE - Due to the fact that there are a few Board members not present, discussion was held regarding the postponement of the election of Executive Committee until next Board Meeting when hopefully all will be present. - Banking: Christine inquired with the TD Bank to see what the procedure would be to have the signing officers changed to reflect the new Board/Executive. She has not received a response to date. TD has been somewhat difficult to deal with and we have not had a good working relationship. After further discussion, it was moved by Bruce Chappell, seconded by Roger Selman and carried, "That Ontario's Lake Country switch banking facilities from TD Bank to Scotiabank" 3. CORPORATE STRUCTURE - The appointment of members to the Adjunct Committees was postponed until next Board meeting. - Both Board members and Lake Country Members at-large can sit on these four committees. Action: Board members were asked to give thought to individuals who could be approached to sit on these committees. 4. ESTABLISHMENT OF MEETING SCHEDULES - It was discussed that the Board needs to meet on a regular basis. Ideally, once the organization is functioning and the Executive Director is in place, these meetings will ~, '. take place on a monthly basis. However, as there is significant work to be done in the interim it was suggested that this Board needs to meet bi-weekly. Much discussion followed regarding time of day and day of preference. It was determined that meetings will be held at 9 a.m. in the CDC Boardroom beginning May 23`d, then every two weeks hence forth, June 6th, June 20`h 5. FINANCIAL REPORT - Christine presented the Profit & Loss statement for the period ending May 14, 2007. The statement showed a loss largely reflecting the Professional Fees expenses for Marian Parrott and Director's Insurance. - The Balance Sheet shows an increase in AR representing membership fees that have been invoiced. - Questions pertaining to the statements: • What is rate we are receiving for the mutual funds -Action: Christine to Find out. • What is the $100 billboards advertising expense -Action: Christine to find out. - ]t was moved by Bmce Chappell, seconded by Roger Selman and carried, "That the Treasurer's Report be approved as circulated" - The Board discussed Memberships for 2007. What should be done now? Should we go ahead without a membership benefit's package? What do we do with those people who paid their membership at the AGM last week? Do we charge them for the balance or was that a one time reduced price offer? We will need to sell a little harder now in light of the recent history of Lake Country. If someone were to call tomorrow, what rate would we quote? A prorated amount? Group agreed to prorating for this year only, but going forward will be the full amount for next year, renewable for a full year. - ]n the future we will need to clean up the website as there are likely many on there who are not members nor have they been for some time. 6. REVISION OF TIMELINES/ACTION PLAN - The revision of the timelines in full to be tabled until next week, though the Board was encourages to review the current plan prior to next meeting. We need to be flexible and evolve our timeline accordingly to make the right decisions. - However, it was felt that action needed to be taken to begin to move the process of the Hiring of the ED forward, particularly in light of the upcoming meeting with the municipalities. - Discussion was held regarding the budget allocated for this position, other funding/commission opportunities, sources for potential candidates etc. What can we get for $50,000? We need to make the right decision. Action: CDC to gather some data to see what are the going rates in the community -Chambers, CDC etc. - Hiring of the ED not likely before Sept. 1 s'_ - Action: Tara and Bmce to work on ED Job Description for next meeting and a time line. =~ ~- ~~ .. 1 7. SEVERN TOWNSHIP - We have received letters from Ramara Township and Severn Township. The reconsideration of the motion by Severn council was put off but we have told it will come forward again at their next planning meeting or next Council meeting. - If Severn doesn't come on board, what happens then? The deal will likely not fall through though it will be different to reflect the change in municipal partners. What about the businesses in Severn if Severn isn't in? After much discussion the Board agreed that if Severn is not in, then Severn businesses can not be in. This message should be shared if the opportunity arises at the Common Interest Committee. 8. MEETING WITH MUNICIPALITIES & CASINO RAMA - An invitation to Lake Country and the CDC to attendlparticipate in the next Common Interest Committee was discussed. A maximum of 4 attendees to be present: Greg Heffering, Liz Summerfield, Donna, + I CDC Board member. - The group discussed the proposal that was put forward at the AGM about the funding option with the municipal funding running for'/z 2007,'/z 2008 and then 2009 which would give the group more time to prove performance. - The sense was that we should be open to the interests of the municipalities and work to meet those. If they agree to this or suggest it then we should be flexible. It makes sense from a performance standpoint. - Would it make any sense to change the year end to government year end? To change year ends you would need to get Revenue Canada approval and then 2 audits, with additional costs. Would also require a vote of the membership. 9. MARKETING - HTA has offered for a fee ($350 + GST) to distribute via a border run the majority of the Destination magazines. They would be going out this week. Once, delivered there would be approximately 600 remaining. - After further discussion, it was moved by Andrei Kun, seconded by Roger Selman and carried, "that Ontario's Lake Country hire HTA to distribute 3,500 Destination magazines through their Border Run." - The Board tlten discussed a variety of other marketing ideas including: Southern Georgian Bay Great Fall Drives Program.

The impact of this past expenditure hasn't been tracked. - Signage to be explored -Roger offered to add a banner to his sign on Highway l2 and a banner to the Ramara Chamber of Commerce Info Centre. Action: CDC to see if a banner exists that was used at the Tudhope Information Kiosk. 10. OTHER BUSINESS - A proposal has been received from Marian Parrott to include membership drive, package development for membership -email based, direct mail campaign, phone follow up, direct sales follow up all focused on Severn Township businesses - $4,995 + taxes. We need to wait until the Membership Committee is in place, and we need to see the results of the Severn Township decision. This proposal to be reviewed at next meeting. We need to make sure we are not duplicating efforts and that our consistent message is coming forward. Marian might be a good option in the interim until the ED is hired and in place. It was noted that she would do a good job for Lake Country. 11.

File #: Date: Roll #: At the Committee of the Whole meeting of September 8, 2005 staff was authorized to conduct a Request for Proposal (PR-02) to seek consultants to develop design concepts for Sweetwater Park. The results of the survey conducted earlier in 2005, public meetings, and input from partners formed the initial basis for the development of Sweetwater Park which included the following facilities: A) Recreation Facility -Gymnasium -Community Room -Storage -washrooms !change rooms B) Multi-Purpose Pad C) Playground D) Pavilion E) Toboggan Hill The services of Michael McKnight Architect Inc., John D. Bell and Associates, and Jones Consulting Group Ltd were retained to develop the design of the parklands. Staff worked with the consultants through a variety of conceptual plans, taking into account the physical constraints of the site, the desire to maximize the amenities and the needs of the community. Sweetwater Park presented the opportunity to do things right with a view to a positive project that the community could be proud of. A concept plan was developed and presented during two public sessions, which were widely advertised. The meetings were held at Station 3, Horseshoe Valley, Tuesday October 17, 2006 at 7:00 pm, and Saturday October 21, 2006 at 9:00 am, to solicit input from the local residents. Approximately 40 people attended Tuesdays meeting with the input received being overwhelmingly positive. The plan received a standing ovation from those in attendance. The Saturday meeting had approximately 12 people attend which also had many positive comments. Some site specific concerns were raised from the direct neighbours abutting the park. The partners were consulted on a number of occasions during this process and concurred with the draft design and approach. In preparing the final draft conceptual site design a further assessment was conducted to consider the public input and the available budgeted funds of $ 500,000.00 dollars. For Council and public consideration attachment # 1 is presented in regards to the final conceptual design. The Recreation Master Plan outlines suggested guidelines for recreation facility development. Specifically that Recreation Facilities be developed in partnership whenever possible and that facilities be developed for multi- usage. The Sweetwater Park is an excellent example of private/public partnership providing benefits to the Townshi ,the artners, and the residents both immediate and throu hoot the Townshi . ANALYSIS: The Sweetwater Park is a 10 acre parcel of land. The parkland has physical constraints for development which includes topography and forested areas which allow for approximately 5 acres of developable lands. I ne parkland also has a fixed point of entry from the 6"' line and Cherry Trail, the latter of which is currently only pedestrian access. The proposed site plan offers a variety of amenities for 4 season multi-use by a variety of ages that takes into account the physical constraints of the site, the input received from the public and partners, and the allotted budget. The proposed site plan contains the following: Building 1075ft2 (Attachment 2) -Contains storage, mechanical room, washrooms, and skate change area. The building is also being designed to accommodate future expansion should the need develop in the future. The request for proposal for the building construction will specify building materials and facades to complement the rural and natural characteristics of the park. As well as possibly to incorporate the pavilion structure to the building linking indoor and outdoor amenities. The building will be opened and locked at scheduled times. Multi Use Pad with Boards (60' x 120')- Outdoor Rink, Basketball, Ball Hockey, Rollerblading, Possibility of Tennis). The ice surface will be developed and maintained by community volunteers with Township assistance to provide technical advice. Multi Use Space -Will be leveled and can be flooded to be used as additional skating area in winter, can be used for variety of activities, provides an area for future development Toboggan Hill Directional Lighting Pavilion- For picnics and shelter, community gatherings etc Playground (Attachment 3) - A large playground and tot-lot with a variety of equipment for ages 2-13 years of age. The playground will be of natural color with a nature based theme to compliment the aesthetics and natural beauty of the community and surrounding area. Berm and Screening Vegetation- to enhance aesthetics and provide buffer to surrounding households Pedestrian access from new development, Cherry Trail and the 6"' line Parking area for 40 vehicles -with vehicle access from the 6`" Tine Water fountain Hiking Trail Multi Purpose Recreational Field -Grassed area for variety of uses Path from building to amenities Note: The site will be serviced via the municipal water system therefore the water will be potable for drinking fountain as well as to supply for ice maintenance purposes. -2- ~~ ~~ Through the public consultation process there a vast majority of feedback was positive however, the following concerns were raised with the initial design, which is addressed in the proposed design: Lighting from vehicles and park lights - To minimize the effect of lights from vehicles and park lights, a berm will be constructed with screening vegetation planted along adjoining properties. The parking lot has also been moved back to minimize lights from vehicular access. Also directional lighting will be installed and positioned into the park, which will be on a pre-set timer with the capability for manual operation to conserve energy. Trespass to private property- Should the need arise as a future expense a chainlink fence could be installed where required bordering the park and adjacent properties. Availability of parking and potential overflow parking which may occur on Cherry Trail - 40 parking spaces is being provided for park access. It should be noted should parking demand on this street become problematic in the future, the Public Works Department can monitor this situation and consider recommendations to Council to manage any future parking prohibitions. Additional area for skating - A multi-use space is being provided to accommodate additional ice surface, also scheduled times for family skating will developed to minimize conflicts between shinny hockey and children learning to skate. A meeting was held on May 30, 2007 to review the proposed site plan and solicit input from partners. The partners are pleased with the progress of the park design and are in full support of the preferred design recommended by staff.
