In accordance with Agenda an appointment had been scheduled for the Orillia and Barrie Public Library Boards representatives to attend at 3:30 p.m. Present from Orillia Public Library Board were - Joe Francoz, Chairman of the Board, Ray Dunster and John Eggsgard; and present from the Barrie Public Library Board were Mrs. Sara Malley and Mrs. Irene Pirrie. Reeve Campbell after making the introductions explained Council's position and purpose of requesting representarives to attend a meeting. He stated that because of the increase being requested by the Library Boards on basis of a $3.50 increase plus 8% of last years rates, Council members have recommended that the increase should be passed on to the user. Possibly a suggested rate of $6.00 per user in order to offset the difference between the Provncial Grant and costs requested. Council were of the opinion that this would cut down on the situation of four and five members from one family, which increased the users. Mr. Joe Francoz presented each member with copies of cost estimates, expenditures and estimated receipts and proposed financial requirements for 1980 as well as calculated figures for costs to outside Municipalities. In reply to the Reeve's comments he stated that in the opinion of the Library Board every person using the service was a user, whether they are persons from one family or separate families. He also explained that City of Orillia contributed an amount per user over the grant to meet the actual per user cost. Deputy Reeve McLean asked a question - if I lived in a Municipality which did not contribute to the Library Board of either City, what would it cost me? The reply was $25.00. .....- . . . ........ pg. 310 TWENl'Y-EIGHTH MEETING (Cont'd) DECEMBER 3RD, 1979 Mrs. S. Malley explained the proposed rates for 1980 and presented copies of calculations for the rates, which we~e discussed briefly. Joe Francoz - I take it that the Township propose that the user pay an extra fee to offset costs rather than the Township to raise the money by general levy. This fee would seem reasonable for the Township to collect but the Library Board is not set up to make any such collections for the Township. Mrs. Irene Pirrie - It would have to be up to the Township to make the decision to charge a fee or how they propose to raise the additional funds required to meet the actual cost of Library services. She advised that the Library Board had documented the actual cost of the service per user. Mrs. S. Malley - ShoUld Council feel that the service could be improved by the Barrie Library Board, the Board would be pleased to co-operate and work with the Township Library Board. Deputy Reeve McLean -from the proposal of the Board to increase cost annually for the service it woul~ seem easier to be carried out by the Library Board when users register annually and obtain Library cards. The additional user fee proposed by the Township could be collected at this time. Mr. R. Dunster - The Public Library Board is not set up to collect the user fee as suggested. It is not that we could or would not want to do it but the system is not set up for such collection. Mr. J. Francoz - Cannot see how the Library Board can collect the Township fee. Mr. R. Dunster - If, as mentioned the membership from the Township was decreased because the family membership was reduced by means of $6.00 or whatever extra charge to user. It would appear likely that one person would be picking up library books for a number of other people and books would be out. This could probably result in user costs to be raised for the Township. Joe Francoz - the Board would probably have to ask the Township to contribute more than the cost of the City user. Reeve Campbell - Council are of the opinion that why should Library users be subsidized, when other recreational facilities are not subsidized. In Oro more people for example use the arena than use the library service. Mrs. S. Malley - In Barrie one out of three use the Libary Board not that many skate or use the arena. Joe Francoz - If you are not a member you are still able to use the Library services while in the Library at no cost. Mr. Dunster - outlined other services that are available at the Public Library. Deputy Reeve McLean - cannot see why the Library Board cannot handle the user charge for the Township. Mr. Dunster - This would require a great change over in administration. Mr. Joe Francoz - We are here to ask you to assist in carrying the load of the cost of operation. ..... . . . """'1IIIIIIII TWENTY -EI GHTH MEETING (Cont' d) DECEMBER 3RD, 1979 pg. 311 Reeve Campbell - possibly the Township will have to look at carrying on the same principle in 1980 as in 1979 and then look at furture methods. However, Council have not arrived at any decision for 1980 on the principle of user pay. Mrs. Irene Pirrie - The problem the Township of Oro is experiencing is similar to all Municipalities without full Library service. The Township will have to look at their manner of resolving the cost. Mr. R. Dunster - We would like to have some feed back as to how the Township propose to carry out their method of raising the funds by per user fee and reactions of the users to such proposals. The Reeve in conclusion thanked the representatives of the Library Boards for coming to the meeting with Council to discuss the matter. Presented letter from Provincial Secretary for Social Development with respect to BW-Iaws providing for the regulation of boarding or lodging homes and requesting Council to consider such BW-law.

Mr. Bickell was present at 4 :30 p.m. representing the woburn BERch Ratepayers Association with respect to garbage collection at R.P. 794. He related to the note left advising that garbage on Plan 794 should be left at the road end and Townline until proper turn around is available. Mr. Bickell advised that the Contractors still has the permission to. use the original approved turn around on private driveway. (Oro is, known as West Woburn Beach). East Woburn Beach (Orillia Township) have Mid Ontario pick up garbage - has supplied a commercial garbage container in lieu of 16 to 17 collections, only one in the industrial container - once per week for summer and once per month for winter. Suggest to Council to have Oro Contractor put an industrial container similar to East Woburn Beach at the entrance to Plan 794 and Towriline. If garbage left according to note without container, dogs and animals only scatter the garbage. l.- ........ pg. 312 TWENTY-EIGHTH MEETING (Cont'd) DECEMBER 3RD, 1979 Reeve advised Mr. Bickell that this would be investigatEd and he would be advised. .

Would like to get Council's feeling'as to whether Council would look favourably to Committee of Adjustment severing the parcel with 4 lots in plac4 of a four lot subdivision.

And because of the Waterfront Study the lands have been partly designated for Estate Residential, namely Block "N" and part of Township lot 27 adjacent to Block "N". On motion of Smith and Sanderson that Mr. T. Holmberg be advised that in Council's opinion that matter should be presented to Oro Planning Board for a proposal of an Estate Lot Plan of Subdivision.
