4.2 Boardroom fees
"
The new policy passed at the January 2004 Board meeting has been
implemented. Weare already seeing an increase in bookings.
4.3 Number of Meetings
A new by-law passed by Midland Town Council now makes it possible
for Boards to continue meeting past November 30th in an election year
until a new Board has been appointed and organized. This will make it
possible to fulfill the 10 meetings a year stipulation set down in the
Ontario Public Libraries Act.
4.4 Budget presentation
B. Molesworth and A Campbell presented the Library's budget to
Midland Council on January 19, 2004. Subsequently, there was a request
to reduce the amount of expenditure in the Capital Budget. As a result,
$15,000.00 for new shelving on the Adult floor of the Library was put
forward to next year. Town Treasurer S. Gignac will be taking the
reduced Capital Budget forward to Council.
R. Allard, the Council representative to the Library Board, brought the
Board up to date after a recent budget meeting with Council. He stated
that it is a particularly difficult budget year for the Town with the
reinstatement of full OMERS expenditures. There are many Capital
requests from various departments. Unfortunately, the Town will not be
able to fill all requests.
4.5 Overdues Procedures
B. Molesworth outlined the current process of phone calls and letters.
He has been studying a couple of different options.

a) Credit Agency
They would send a letter to delinquent patrons threatening dire credit
rating consequences at a cost to us of $4.75 a letter. If the material still
doesn't come back, the Credit Agency would start calling. If the items
are returned we would pay the Credit Agency 25% of the cost of the
material. The approximate cost to us a year could be $1,250.00.
b) Revised In-Bouse Procedure
We would make more reminder calls over a compressed period oftime.
Letters would also be sent out sooner.
In consultation with the Library Staff responsible for overdues and recalls,
B. Molesworth recommends that the Library initially try the revised in-house
procedure with its lower cost. If this does not produce the desired effect we can
still go to the Credit Agency option later.
The Board agreed with this recommendation.
5. Approval of the accounts
A question arose regarding a payment to Carswell for the Criminal Code Book
as to the frequency of these payments. (e.g. monthly, quarterly, annually).
TO DO: B. Molesworth will look into the total price and whether this Reference
resource is used enough to make it worth the expenditure.
A second question was raised regarding the payment to Micromedia Proquest
Electric Library Canada. B. Molesworth explained that this is an on-line
electronic periodical index that provides full text articles for research. It is
heavily used and is one of the resources we would like to make available to
our patrons at home through our Library website.
Moved by: A. Campbell
Seconded by: C. Moore
That the accounts for the month of January 2004 totalling $24,519.61 be
approved.

planning for the annual dinner/dance. The date this year is May 1,2004.
Tickets will be available for sale in early March. She asked for Board
members to think of any businesses or individuals they might know that
would be willing to donate items for the silent auction. The event will
once again be held at Brooklea Golf and Country Club with "Nightlife"
performing. The cost of the dinner has gone up, so the ticket price has
been raised from $50.00 to $55.00.
C. Moore asked how many members there are in the Friends.
G.A. Walker stated that there is a core of about eight people but others
work on special projects like the Book Sale. B. Molesworth has

encouraging people to join or contribute money. He hopes to produce
three of these a year.

7.1 Library's Web PagelReference Resources
B. Molesworth informed the Board about the possibility of the Library
becoming part of a consortium of on-line electronic resources offered
through the Southern Ontario Library Service. The cost is $500.00.
They would be made available to our patrons through the Library's
website. It was suggested that once available, we should advertise this
service to the schools and inform them that students will require a
Library card to access these resources.
B. Molesworth has also been working on finding someone to redesign
our web page. A student that worked for us as our CAP (Community
Access Programme) student, that has more recently been volunteering
here, has agreed to do this for us at a cost of $500.00. A local business
was offering the same service for $3,000.00. The student will also set
the web page up so that one of the regular library staff can easily be
trained to do updates.

8.1 Chief Librarian's Report
B. Molesworth asked if there were any comments or questions arising
from his monthly report.
A memoir writing workshop will be held at the Library on three
Saturdays, March 6, 20 and April 3, 2004 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.

REPORT OF THE CEO FOR THE ORILLIA PUBLIC LIBRARY
BOARD MEETING OF MARCH 24, 2004.
1. INTERNET TEMPORARILY SHUT DOWN
Library internet was shut down from Thursday, March 4 to Tuesday, March 9 due to
three new malicious viruses that threatened our network. Technical staff including Fred
Marlow worked throughout that weekend to monitor the website of our virus protector
until new protections were developed and downloaded. (see newspaper article)
Because we provide internet service to the public'there is risk involved with web-based
mail vehicles such as 'Hotmail' in that the public could download a virus and infect the
whole network.
The solution is to partition staff computers from those that are accessed by the public. In
this way any viruses that infect the public machines will be limited to only those
machines and will not infect the whole library network. Re-wiring was done on the
weekend of March 15/16 (thanks to Jai Khemraj and Fred Marlow). We also need a
router, a switcher (already in the budget), another printer and workstation to support the
partition.
The staff internet policy has been changed to prohibit staff from accessing any web-based
mail vehicles.
This equipment has been supported financially by the City and the first year costs of the
lease for this equipment will not affect the current library budget. We will have to budget
for the higher lease costs next year.
2. CITY REPORT FORMAT
Please find a memo addressed to all City Boards and Committees asking that any reports
going to Council be prepared in the format approved by Council. A template with
samples has been included.
3. ON THE LIGHTER SIDE....
Do we have any golfers on the Board?
Two "scramble" tournaments have come to my attention:
· The Collingwood Public Library is holding its annual "Golf Challenge" at the
Cranberry Golf Resort on Tuesday, June 8. The cost is $100 per golfer if we
register prior to April!. It is $135 per golfer after that date.
· The Chamber Classic is scheduled for Thursday, June 3 at Hawkridge Golf Club.
The cost is $107 per golfer including OST.
Oolf, dinner, prizes and carts are provided at each tournament.

OUTREACH AND PUBLICITY
The Good for Life committee approved our application for $400.00 in funding. The money
will be used to offer healthy snacks as part of our March Break programming. In addition,
we will be initiating early literacy kits, for which I hope to obtain further funding, the first kit
will focus on Fun Food Experiences.
Lee has been attending these meetings and helped to successfully present our request to
the Good for Life Committee.
Kelly Smith completed two programming brochures, one advertising March Break
programs and one promoting our baby, toddler and preschool programs.
The Children's web page was updated with the new programming information by Kelly
Absalom.
I presented our regular monthly Library Storytime program at the Orillia office of the
Ontario Early Years Center. There was a good turnout of children, parents, and
caregivers, with over twenty people attending the program.
Material Displays included Valentine's Day, Winter Stove Stories, and St. Patrick's Day.
PROGRAMS
All our programs were filled to capacity. The change in our Toddler programming to Tales
for Twos and Threes is working well. The staff our finding the programming easily
adaptable to include three year old interests and we have largely been able to
accommodate most of the demand. We have a small waiting list of two or three children
instead of one with seventeen children.
Central Preschool visited us three times in February for a story time. The teachers take
back our program and service advertising and distribute it to their parents.
STAFF
notified us that she is pregnant and her last day of work will be May 19.
REFERENCE
Reference Questions:
February 2004: 411
February 2003: 462
Reference statistics showed a decrease this month of eleven per cent.
Computer use showed a decrease of sixteen per cent.
MONTHLY REPORT
DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION SERVICES
FEBRUARY 2004
\Od -5
A tour was provided for ten students from the Adult Learning Centre, showing them how to use
the OPAC, do periodical searches and introducing our services to them.
I attended a workshop call Negotiating through Conflict: Creating WinlWin Solutions. The training
emphasized the need to resolve problems as soon as they arise, not months later. Establishing
common goals, roles and responsibilities and keeping to them provides a point from which to
resolve conflicts. If the attack is personal, the situation should not be addressed until an
atmosphere of mutual respect can be established. A conflict is perceived as resolved when all
parties see things from the same view point. If this does not occur, then the situation escalates.
Reference questions for the month were up 6 percent over last year. Online products are being
well used, access to the Frost Papers has increased over last year by 48 per cent, but our web
page was accessed less during the month.
Internet usage was down over last year, a reflection of the fact that we are no longer doing
training between 9 and 10 a.m.
Volunteer hours were down by 65 per cent over last year. Books are piling up to be shelved and
although I have written items in the Packet and the North Simcoe News to try to attract new
volunteers, we have not had many approach us. One of the obstacles may be our requirement for
a police check.
Jayne's program for Black History Month about the church at Edgar was well attended and
Michelle did a bookmark of literature by African Canadian and American authors which was
handed out at the program. Michelle's Bookworm's discussed short stories from Alice Munro's
Love of a Good Woman.

TECHNICAL SERVICES REPORT
February 2004
Circulation
Sundays were very busy in February, with an average of 329 items being
borrowed per day, or 110 per hour. This is well-up on both last month and
February 2003.
There was an altercation at the front desk on Sunday, Feb. 22, as we were
closing. A fight that started outside came into the building, and was broken
up by a patron. Some people, including bystanders, were pushed and
jostled. Staff called 911, and the police came to take over the matter.
We raised overdue charges for adult and children's books, CDs, and tapes
by $.05, to $0.25 and $0.15. The desk staff say there has been no noticeable
reaction as yet.
Technical Processing
A number of rotating collections came through TP in February. We received
a new large-print block, as well as DVDs from a new pool, and several
groups of foreign language videos (Italian, Dutch, and Hindi).
Kelly Smith has been tracking the circulation of large-print block items, and
the results indicate that having them on separate shelves, with noticeable
signs and a shorter loan period result in the books being borrowed more.
Her report is an excellent example of "evidence-based librarianship" and
could serve as a model for other such tight-focused studies. A copy of the
study is attached.
Building Planning
I distributed the compiled functional analysis that staff has been working
on, and asked for revisions, additions, etc. Staff will meet again to discuss
requirements for common areas (entrances, reading areas) and for ideas and
feelings for an overall ambience and design.

Dear Mayor Craig:
The Honourable Dalton McGuinty, Premier of Ontario, sent me a copy of your letter dated
January 27, 2004. I would like to take this opportunity to respond to your concerns about the
pricing of hydro as it affects Ontario farmers.
As Minister of Agriculture and Food, I appreciate that the removal of the electricity cap will
have an impact on the province's agri-food sector.
I am committed to working with the agricultural communirj to investigate opportulllties to
address energy issues such as wind power, renewable fuels and other forms of alternative
energy. I have assigned my Parliamentary Assistant, Ms. Carol Mitchell, MPP for
Huron-Bruce, to work as a liaison with the agricultural community so we can look at how
agriculture can help meet Ontario's electricity needs.
As you may know, energy pricing issues fall under the jurisdiction of the Honourable Dwight
Duncan, Minister of Energy. I have taken the liberty of sending a copy your resolution to
Minister Duncan so that he, too, is aware of your concerns.

Dear Premier McGuinty:
The Township of Oro-Medonte includes diverse communities with beautiful rural and
farming land. A community of 18,315 full-time residents, Oro-Medonte covers a land
area of 61 ,000 hectares.
It
Accordingly, Council has ratified the following to lend support to the agricultural.
community in facing increasing energy costs:
Whereas the.provincial government's new energy pricing policy is scheduled
to come into effect on April 1 , 2004;
And Whereas Ontario farmers are currently experiencing net income
decrease and will be adversely affected by higher energy costs;
And Whereas the Ontario Federation of Agriculture has made submission to
the Ontario Justice and Social Policy Committee Hearings with respect
amendments to Bill 4, An Act to amend the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998;
and has further submitted comments to the Province with respect to alternate
means of power generation, conservation, elimination of barriers to farmers
becoming generators of power and the use of new technology to produce
power;
.
Now therefore, be it resolved that the Township of Oro-Medonte support the
Ontario Federation of Agriculture's request to the Government of Ontario for
consideration of the proposed amendments to Bill 4 that hydro be priced to
reflect farmers' real costs and that the government's proposed short-term rate
adjustments do not unfairly penalize the agricultural sector;
And further, that the Ontario Federation of Agriculture be advised of Council's
support.
\ ue -y

On behalf of Council of the Township, I would therefore respectfully request that you
give favourable consideration to these recommendations.
Yours truly,

Dear Mr. Craig;
Read two articles this weekend, one in the Packet, the other in the Examiner regarding recent
developement proposals for the area, and councils reactions to them. One developement in Craighurst,
the other the ongoing saga of the area near the Coulson swamp.
We would just like to commend you on your stance of caution, concern and protection for our area. It is
wonderful to have someone representing us who will not cave to every developer who comes along!
Everyone we know feels the same way. We do not want Oro-Medonte to become urban. Please continue
to keep up the good work and know that you have many people behind you. .
I hope you pass this letter on to the rest ofthe council.Thank you.

Reo: Gaming Conference, Casino Rama Hotel, Wednesday, April 21, 2004
Dear SirlMadam,
On Wednesday, April 21, 2004, Mnjikaning First Nation is hosting a Gaming Conference at the Casino
Rama Hotel. A draft agenda is enclosed to give you an overview of the material which will be covered.
This event is designed to bring together the stakeholders in Casino Rama throughout Simcoe North. As you
may be aware, the Ontario government is conducting a study of the gaming market in Ontario. The report is
scheduled for completion in August, when Ontario may decide to extend the current moratorium on casino
licensing or which regions will be considered for a casino project.
Mnjikaning has taken the position with the provincial government and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming
Corporation, that the Ontario gaming market is saturated. The introduction of any new gaming venues will
seriously erode revenues for all existing facilities.
. ill addition, the new Niagara Falls casino, a $ I-billion project, is slated to open in June of this year. With its
opening, and recent quarterly reports, it would seem premature to consider adding new markets.
In the December 2003 OLGC report, Casino Rama was the only casino to report increased revenues.
Windsor and Niagara Falls reported decreases. As we know, the tourism industry has been hurt the past year,
particularly in border markets.
At this time, municipalities around the province are mobilizing their communities for casino bids. The
enclosed clippings from newspapers around the province demonstrate this effectively.
We believe that Mnjikaning First Nation and stakeholders Simcoe North need to address the impact that any
new facility may have on Casino Rama, and their own business interests. We hope that this conference can
be a starting point in this mobilization.
. .
In 1999, a study sponsored by the Casino Task Force demonstrated the economic impact of Casino RaIna on
this region. We have invited Pannell Kerr Forster to present an overview of this study at the conference. .
From that study, we know that:
. Casino Rama employs 3,800, the largest employer in the region, and the largest single-site employer
of First Nations people in the country.
. Over 12,000 people visit the complex on a d~ily basis, providing a steady flow of opportunities for
tourism in the area.
. The Casino complex can be directly linked to the development of new business operations in the area
including hotel, coffee and gasoline franchises, and a wide variety of suppliers to the Casino
operations itself.
. Housing starts, car dealerships and services related to home improvements and household staples
have all flourished from the establishment of new households related to new employment.
We would like to invite you to attend this conference. We believe that a mobilized Simcoe North can have
an impact on future decisions made in Ontario gaming.

Dear Sirs and Madames:
Re: Stop Sign at Concession 7
and Ridge Road, Oro-Medonte
It has come to our attention through reading The North Simcoe
Community News dated March/April 2004 that a stop sign was
proposed for the 7th Concession of Oro-Medonte and the Ridge
Road thereby making it a 4 way stop.
We confirm that this stop sign was proposed because of a
letter written by Buffi Woronka on January 20, 2004.
We confirm that a special meeting of the Township of Oro-
Medonte Committee of the Whole was held on February 11, 2004
regarding this letter and other issues. We confirm that the
Minutes of the meeting as posted on your web site states:
Motion No. CW-8 (Amendment)
Motion be amended to include "that a four way stop be placed
at the intersection of Line 7 and Ridge Road" and delete "be
referred to staff for a response under the Mayor's
signature".
Motion No. CW-9
It is recommended that the correspondence dated January 20,
2004 from Buffi Woronka, re: Intersection of Oro-Medonte Line
7 and Ridge Road be received and that a four way stop sign be
placed that the intersection of Line 7 and Ridge Road.
We confirm that the residents of Oro-Medonte had no advance
notice of this issue as the issue was not referred to staff
and the meeting was not held on a regular meeting day.
\
1
\'-\0- ~ ~
- 2 -
We are adamantly opposed to the 3 way stop being converted
into a 4 way stop for the following reasons:
i. There was a stop sign at the proposed site which was
removed in the late 1980's for many reasons including
weather related ones.
2. Even though the Township of Oro-Medonte (formerly the
Township of Oro) kept the hill very well sanded, many
vehicles who stopped at the stop sign before it was
removed became stuck and had to back down the hill.
Many vehicles who were behind another vehicle at the
stop sign before it was removed began to slid backwards
and hit the vehicle behind them causing a chain reaction
of accidents.
3. In bad weather, vehicles proceeding north could only
come to a rolling stop at the stop sign before it was
removed to avoid becoming stuck or sliding down the
hill.
4. There is a very steep grade going north toward the
proposed stop sign.
5. That section of road is a very busy route for elementary
and secondary school buses which must negotiate the
steep grade during all weather conditions and should not
have to risk becoming stuck on the hill or rolling
backwards.
6. There are many driveways close to the intersection. In
bad weather, the drivers must have a good run up the
hill without stopping to cross the intersection safely.
We propose that 3 way signs should be attached to the advance
stop signs on the three sides of the intersection which would
warn drivers to be prepared for a 3 way stop.
We submit that the placement of an additional stop sign at
the intersection would NOT increase public safety but would
only cause to make the intersection dangerous at least six
months of the year because of weather related concerns.

ONTARIO TOURISM EVENT MARKETING PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
1. SPECIAL EVENT STRATEGY
As part of Ontario Tourism's marketing strategy, the Ministry will assist
in the marketing of a selection of tourism events and festivals across the
province. Ontario Tourism's participation in marketing these events will
strengthen Ontario Tourism's brand image, help showcase the province
to Ontarians and to the world and will encourage increased attendance at
events therefore boosting local and regional economies.
Sponsorship of festivals and events is an effective marketing tool not only
for Ontario Tourism but also for the destinations themselves. The use of
events is one of the fastest growing consumer travel segments.
Ontario Tourism efforts will benefit the province by concentrating on those
opportunities with significant growth potential and economic impact.
~ PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
Overall objectives of the program are to:
· Facilitate substantive economic benefit throughout the province
through the marketing of tourism events with potential to increase
visitor expenditure
· To strengthen Ontario Tourism brand image
· Increase the number of event "packages" to facilitate overnight
stays and to extend the length of stay by visitors to a community
(Le. theatre/hotel/restaurant discounts)

TOWN OF OROIMEDONTE
ATTENTION: MR. PAUL MARSHALL
SUBJECT: F AIRWAY FOREST SUBDIVISION
I am writing this letter in response to the Town selling off community park land. I was shocked
to have found out that the parcel of land that is across the road from my new home is going to be sold back
to the developer.
My wife and I bought the property at 15 Forest Hill Dr. because we were told that there was going.
to be a park close to our house (within walking distance for everyone in our subdivision). Having a park
this close to our home is great news because we have just had our first child and are expecting another.
My Sister lives on Oro Line One with two small children and was looking forward to having a park that is
safe and close to both our homes.
I have talked to some of our new neighbors and they too were expecting a park, and paid a lot of
money to live next to or near one. None of them have been informed of the park being sold as a residential
lot, except through word of mouth.
When we first purchased our land I talked to the Town about the park. I was told that the Town
wouldn't spend much, if any money, to develop the park. I have asked the neighbors that have come
around if they would like to form a committee. The response was very positive.
Here are some of my ideas:
Park Committee:
-we all have large properties and with that we will have large lawn tractors
-we can cut the grass ourselves
-build or look into purchasing play ground equipment our selves
-or benches and garbage cans, etc.
We will need insurance coverage under the Town Blanket Insurance Policy.
Get direction from the Town on what would be expected of a committee.
I think that the Town should give the community the choice and chance to have a local park.
Possibly give the committee 2 years to start a proper park, if nothing happens or isn't run the way we said
we would, then the town could sell of the land.
'"
\4c--'l
These are just a few ideas that I had, we just need some time to arrange the details and get some more
homes built up on our street.
Waiting a year or two will not cost the Town any money.

Dear Minister:
Re: Provincial Fundinq for Public Health Services
Please be advised that Simcoe County Council at its meeting on March 23, 2004
adopted the following Notice of Motion regarding Provincial Funding for Public Health
Services:
'WHEREAS the Health Protection and Promotion Act (HPPA) is established to provide for the
organization and delivery of public health programs and services, the prevention of the spread of
disease and the protection and promotion of the health of the people of Ontario, and the Act
confers governance to local Boards of Health; and
WHEREAS the Ministry of Health has repeatedly affirmed the importance of local governance for
public health through local Boards of Health; and
WHEREAS THE Health Protection and Promotion Act requires local Boards of Health to issue
annual written notices to obligated municipalities which shall specify the amount that the Board of
Health estimates will be required to defray the expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Board of
Health and the Medical Officer of Health in the performance of its functions and duties under the
HPPA or any other Act; and
WHEREAS the Minister of Health has established the Mandatory Health Programs and Services
Guidelines, and the legislated requirements in Parts II, III, and IV of the Health Protection and
Promotion Act and the associated regulations, and established a duty for every Board of Health to
superintend and ensure the carrying out of these programs while the Ministry has retained direct
responsibility for compliance assessment, monitoring and enforcement; and
WHEREAS the funding formula has created considerable tension between local Boards of Health
and obligated municipalities, and uncert?linties related to the establishment of property tax rates
in obligated municipalities, and has prevented local Boards of Health from exercising appropriate
governance duties; and
. . ./

Hon. George Smitherman
- 2 -
March 24, 2004
WHEREAS obligated municipalities in some areas of the Province may be unable to provide the
funding required to ensure compliance with the Mandatory Health Programs and Services
Guidelines which will lead to a deterioration in the quantity and quality of public health services in
Ontario; and
WHEREAS recent developments including the efforts to address public health and infectious
disease emergencies have resulted in increased requirements and demands being placed on
Boards of Health.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the County of Simcoe requests that the Ministry of Health
provide 100% Provincial funding to ensure that all Boards of Health are able to fully comply with
the Mandatory Health Programs and Services Guidelines; and
FURTHERMORE THAT the Government of Ontario recognize and affirm that an unwillingness to
adequately fund public health programs and services results in further erosion of these essential
programs and services which will adversely affect the health of all Ontarians; and
FURTHERMORE THAT a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Ministry of Health, our local
M.P.P.'s, the Association of Local Public Health Agencies, all Medical Officers of Health, all
Boards of Health Chairpersons, and to the City of Barrie, and the City of Orilfia and the area
municipalities and AMO."
On behalf of Council, I would request your assistance on this issue.
By copy of this letter I am requesting that those parties noted herein support the position
of Simcoe County Council on this issue.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office.

Re: Improving service quality at the Municipal Property Assessment
Corporation
\ ~ -€ -\
Dear friends:
Many Ontario municipalities and taxpayers are growing increasingly concerned
over the way the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation is being managed.
The Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) shares this concern.
Requests for Reconsideration are up 44 per cent this year compared to the same
time last year. New properties are not getting on to assessment rolls in a timely
fashion. In some cases, according to news reports, assessments on entire
communities may bear no relation to actual property values. Meanwhile, property
taxpayers can't understand why an assessment problem that is fixed one year
crops up again in the next.
On behalf of more than 1,300 OPSEU members who work at MP AC, I have
written to Ontario Finance Minister Greg Sorbara to ask him to conduct an
independent review of the goings-on at MP AC. Among our concerns:
. Tolerance of conflicts of interest among senior managers. MP AC President
and CAO Bob Richards told the Toronto Sun that he had personally given the
green light to two MP AC senior managers to start their own company to sell
assessment services. MP AC' s conflict-of-interest rules specifically bar
employees from using MP AC's intellectual property for personal gain. This
includes software, patents, databases, and theorems. It defies credibility to
imagine that an outside company run by MP AC insiders would not make use
of intellectual property developed at MP AC - especially when one of the
managers involved is the person responsible for the statistical models that
decide residential property values in Ontario.
. A failed reorganization. Just after Current Value Assessment came in,
MPAC had 2,100 front-line employees. Today, there are just over 1,300. This
is not enough people, especially now that the law requires re-assessments
every year, not every four years as before. The number of staff doing property
valuation is now a fraction of what it was. In the wake of its "Futures"
restructuring project, MPAC's focus has shifted from collecting and analyzing
quality data to computer modelling based on poor and increasingly outdated
.../2
~
...
'l\~-~ '
data. Fundamentally, the restructuring ofMP AC has removed local knowledge and on-the-
ground expertise trom property valuation. Our union predicted two years ago that Futures
would be a fiasco. Last year, 140 Ontario municipalities joined us in opposing it. MPAC
ignored them.
· Questionable management of the Integrated Property Solution project. Word continues
to leak out that MP AC's overhaul of computer systems is behind schedule, over budget,
poorly planned, and unresponsive to assessment needs. People are talking of a "culture of
fear" that has led to low morale and high turnover among staff assigned to the project.
· Mismanagement of the Customer Contact Centre. Management at the CCC has told staff
that they will be disciplined (if full-time) or tired (if temporary) if they give ratepayers the
phone numbers of municipalities. The CCC is a management trouble spot.
· Lack of democratic accountability. No one is directly and democratically accountable for
the work MPAC does. MPAC's governance structure puts truly accountable elected officials
at too great a distance trom the concerns of ordinary property taxpayers.
Front-line workers at MP AC have the knowledge, skills and professionalism needed to provide
excellent assessment services for Ontario. They know exactly what is wrong with MP AC - and
how to fix it. That is why our union is calling for a judicial review into MP AC. This review,
which could be similar in structure and approach to the Haines Review into Ontario's meat
inspection system, would provide a way for an independent set of eyes to make sense of what's
happening at MP AC and propose corrective strategies.
Please contact MinisterSorbara to let him know you support OPSEU's call for a review of
MPAC's practices.
Sincerely,
Ull
.

CITIZENS CONCERNED FOR SAFE WATER
TO ALL MEMBERS OF COUNCIL
The Council of Tiny Township has recently received a presentation from CITIZENS
CONCERNED FOR SAFE WATER that details the many issues associated with the
proposed landfill location at Site 41 in Tiny. In addition, an option is identified that
would be more economical and would minimize environmental impacts. A .
comprehensive REPORT ON ISSUES AND OPTIONS that includes an 'Executive
Summary' is enclosed for each member of your Council.
Tiny Township Council approved a Motion on March 8, 2004 that effectively requests
Simcoe County to place a moratorium on Site 41 until all issues and options have been
explored and the impending regulations for groundwater source protection are developed
by the provincial government. A copy of the approved Motion is included as EXHIBIT
-"B" in the REPORT.
Tiny Township will be requesting your endorsement of their Motion for a moratorium as
a member of Simcoe County. The CITIZENS CONCERNED FOR SAFE WATER
offer to make a presention any time after April 25th to your Council in order to clarify
the Site 41 issues and the intent of the proposed moratorium. Please contact us to

TO: ALL MEMBERS OF COUNCIL
SUBJECT: SITE 41 MORATORIUM
Tiny Council approved Motion #227/04 on March 8, 2004 supporting a moratorium on
Site 41. We understand that this Motion will be fOIwarded to your Council for your
endorsement this week.
It is important that the intent of the proposed moratorium at Simcoe County is fully
understood in order to facilitate discussion leading to your decision.
It must be emphasized that the resolution all the technical concerns raised in the peer
reviews resides solely with the Ministry of Environment. The proposed moratorium.
does NOT represent an intelVention in this particular process.
The direction that has been tabled for your consideration focuses on Simcoe County and
is on a much broader scale. It is therefore necessary to understand the garbage
dilemma that currently faces Simcoe County.
. Simcoe County assumed responsibility for management of all County
landfill sites in 1990. Considerable time and effort has been dedicated to
addressing site problems and remediation activities. This effort continues.
. Over the last 13 years NO new landfill capacity has been added.
. There is NO long-term plan for dealing with garbage across the County.
. Significant population growth is expected in the future particularly in the
municipalities in the southern areas of the County.
. In the short-term the only new landfill that is scheduled to becoming
operation is Site 41. A landfill is also being planned for the Township of
ClealView.
. After 3 years of review the County is close to finalizing a contract for an
Integrated Waste Management Facility that would take approximately 18
months to contract. Simcoe County state that they have not started a
search for the location and that the process could consume a considerable
amount of time.
The moratorium on Site 41 is being proposed so that deliberations can occur at Simcoe
County before any construction commences to address the following:
. What are Simcoe County's short-term and long-term plans on handling
garbage? How does Site 41 fit with these strategic plans?
. Why is County building a small landfill site when it is Closing smaller sites
in favour of the larger current landfill sites?
~
· Why is County constructing a site that is limited by its Certificate of
Approval to receiving garbage from only 4 of its 16 member
municipalities?
· What is County's position on the strong possibility that the small landfill
capacity at Site 41 may shrink by up to 20% due to constraints in the
northwest corner.
· Where is the Integrated Waste Management Facility (IWMF) to be
located?
· Is Site 41 being considered as a potential location in order to expedite the
start-up of the IWMF? If so, what are the constraints imposed by the
Certificate of Approval that limits garbage to the 4 North Simcoe
municipalities? What are the operational limitations as a result of the
small capacity of Site 41?
. If the IWMF is located adjacent to a landfill elsewhere, what is the
purpose of Site 41?
· What other options are there to Site 41? What consideration has been
given to a much larger landfill site that over the long-term can be more
economical due to economies of scale? What consideration has been given
. to a double liner design that can be sited anywhere stable ground exists .
and minimize the risk of water contamination?
. How will the imminent new provincial regulations on groundwater source
ptotection affect Site 41 with its abundance of water?
The process that resulted in selection of Site 41 as landfill site began as far back as
1979... that's 25 years or a quarter of a century ago!
Does it not make sense that Site 41 should be reevaluated in terms of today's world and
the vision and plans for handling garbage in the future?
With the information you now have on Site 41 is there a reasonable doubt in your mind
as to the validity of Site 41?
As decision makers should you not exercise due diligence by endorsing a moratorium on
Site 41 so that all the issues are deliberated at County BEFORE any construction
commences at Site 41?
Finally, is there any downside to the proposal for a moratorium?
These are the questions that you must ask in order to make an informed decision.
We encourage you to endorse Tiny Council's Motion for a moratorium on Site 41 and
the expression of this support by your two appointed representatives at Simcoe County.
