As the Lake Simcoe Protection Act is under the 10 year legislated review process (act passed unanimously in Provincial

Reason why this presentation is important to Council and to the municipality:
Lake Simcoe provides drinking water for 250,000 people. Tourism brings in 200 million dollars a year. there are
Festivals, Summer concerts, Fishing Derbys, Hotels, B and B;s and people we try to attract to create jobs and art in this
community. If we don't imprive the health of the lake all of this is at stake . We n eed to have a 20 - 50 year hoirizon on
our actions because it takes years to improve lake conditions yet a few years of neglect will have it deteriorate. In the
1980's the phosphorous load was so great that action had to be taken. We took it and the phosphorous load is down but
could increase without vigilance. Older inhabitants remember when there were no weeds in the lake and when the
rockws were not covered with sludge. Today we have all of that and invasive species and climate change. We need
committment from Oro Council to show support for the future health of the Lake that gives us so much.

Mr. Edward McDonnell and Ms. Shelly Petrie of the Greenbelt Foundation provided the Board with a
presentation on Positively Green, a collaborative green infrastructure program between the Greenbelt
Foundation and thirteen conservation authorities including LSRCA that has been in development since
2016. What began as a moraine report card has brought to light a number of other issues around
restoration, biodiversity, habitat improvement and water quality. Over 100 priority project have been
identified focusing on natural infrastructure. Measureable outcomes they are trying to achieve include:
watershed health; ecosystem services; climate resiliency; biodiversity; and carbon sequestration.
The projects LSRCA is involved in include activities such as: installing low impact development techniques
to infiltrate and/or harvest precipitation runoff and manage stormwater; addressing perched culverts and
removing online ponds; installing vegetative buffers; removing gabion baskets; adding significant
wetlands; and establishing forest corridors along river valleys and ecopassages for small wildlife. LSRCA
projects identify municipal funds for outcomes such as: improving water quality, improving aquatic
habitat, increasing community participation in stormwater management/stewardship projects, repairing

General Manager, Corporate and Financial Services, Mark Critch, provided the Board with an update on
, noting that in the Spring of 2019 the Board of Directors
approved 1.75% COLA, 2% inflation as needed, and 1% investment in strategy initiatives. These approvals
resulted in a 2.83% General Levy increase, a 2.83% Special Operating increase, and a 2.34% Special Capital
increase. Consultations then took place with funding partners to look for ways to lower the budget.
Finance staff hosted a finance day with municipal staff counterparts to provide updates on progress,
discuss Bill 108, and look for ways to work better together. Staff continue to monitor challenges such as
the reduced MNRF funding of 64K (49%) and provincial grant funding uncertainties.
To summarize, GM Critch noted that the budget is being developed within the new targets; programs will
be changed as necessary to accommodate MNRF reduced transfer payment; staff have found efficiencies
and new partnerships and continue to look for funding opportunities; an internal programs and services
review is underway and an asset management financial strategy will form part of the 2021 budget.

Items No. 1 and 5 were identified under items requiring separate discussion.
1. Correspondence
Councillor Ferragine asked for update on the Township of Ramara and their request to the Minister of
Environment, Conservation and Parks for a conservation authority exit clause in the Conservation
Authorities Act (CAA). CAO Walters noted he is not surprised by their request and noted that there is
already an exit clause process outlined in the CAA; however, the Township of Ramara has yet to follow
the process. He went on to note that the Township continues to be in arrears for its 2018 and 2019 levy
apportionment. While the Mayor of Ramara continues to claim that conservation authorities are
financially unaccountable and their services are duplicative, CAO Walters did present to their Council in
December 2016, showing clearly a great return for their investment.
CAO Walters asked Board member for input on a path forward with this partner. A discussion ensued
and a number of options were presented. Board members felt that another deputation to Council or a
meeting with the Mayor and Council would be appropriate, and a request will be sent in early 2020.
