Updated Compensation ManaQement Plan
Mayor Taylor requested clarification regarding Section D - Pay for Performance
contained within the "Call for Proposal" document.
The Co-ordinator, Human Resources, responded that the Authority will be looking
tothe successful consultantto provide some recommendations on how this pragram
will be applied to Authority staff.
Mayor Taylor inquired if any other conservation authorities have gone thraugh this
process recently and if so could this Authority use their study rather than going out
with a "Call for Proposal"?
The CAO responded that the previous compensation study for the Authority was
done in 1999 and it is recornmended that it be updated every five years. Most
authorities have either recently updated their studies, are currently updating them
or are considering an update in the near future.
The CAO further advised that it is important that the Authority have their own study
done and indicated that the same consultant could be utilized which will reduce the
startup time for the study.
A recommendation was made to have consultations with the 36 conservation
authorities in the preparation of this report and perhaps establish a commit1ee to
review the report.

The CAO responded that not all 36 authorities are doing a compensation study and
that the LSRCA cannot be compared to all 36 authorities. The LSRCA would be
comparable only to the GT A authorities; Central Lake Ontario Conservation
Authority would be a good comparison.
The CAO advised that staff could inquire as to which comparable authorities are
currently undertaking an update to their compensation management study and
pursue the possibility of issuing a joint RFP. Staff will prepare a report for the
Board's consideration at their December meeting.

17. Draft Greenbelt Update
The Manager, Planning provided a review of Staff Report No. 76-04-BOD which
provided an update on the Draft Greenbelt Report as well as the Authority's
comments on this report.
A major concern of the Authority remains that Sirncoe County is not included in this
report and it is the Authority's position that it should be.
Mayor Taylor indicated that he agrees in principle that some ramifications have
been built into this plan. It is important that it be recognized that some areas which
are included in this report should not be and others that are not included should be.
Example provided is the area of highway 404 and Woodbine which should be
deemed employment land as it is not prime agricultural land - it may not be feasible
to include this area in the plan. Need to formulate some wording that recommends
not only what is in the plan, but what is not in the plan.

The Manager, Planning advised that he has attended the meetings and MNR has
provided some background in response to how they came up with the designated
green areas. MNR looked at natural heritage, prime agricultural land and looked at
large properties. They applied professional judgement and in some instances
scientific evaluation.
The CAO indicated that the Authority must subrnit their comrnents by the end of the
business day today (November 26) and further indicated that the Authority needs
to take a look at this report as it affects the Authority and its mandate. Clearly we
see a problem with not including Simcoe County and it is important that this be
identified to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in the letter issued today
and to strongly voice the Authority's concern with regard to this report. We will need
to remain involved in this pracess and it is expected that the agendas will continue
to move forward quickly.

7. Assimilative Capacity Studv - Workplan
Councillor Paul Marshall advised that he attended a meeting in Barrie on December
7th, 2004, where Minister Gerretsen, Municipal Affairs and Housing, announced that
the funding being provided to the Authority to undertake this work is actually a loan and
is part of a 50/50 cost sharing deal.
The CAO responded that the Province of Ontario, Ministry of Natural Resources,
Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing held a
meeting with the Councils, Mayors and Chairs of Simcoe County to discuss the South
Simcoe Action Plan (SSAP). The Assimilative Capacity Studies is one component of
the SSAP which is in response to the "Places to Graw" report.
Minister Gerretsen incorrectly announced that the funding would be on a 50/50 cost
sharing basis. The Ministers of MOE and MNR previously made an announcement
under Source Protection Planning as 100% funding.
This announcement was simply a mistake and the Authority is waiting on a letter fram
Minister Gerretsen to clarify this. The CAO indicated that she has been assured that
this will be covered by 100% funding.
The Authority's Board suggested that the workplan presented be approved conditional
upon receipt of the letter and 100% funding.
The CAO advised that a meeting regarding the Assimilative Capacity Studies will be
held on December 16th, 2004, and all watershed municipal CAO's have been invited
to attend.
The Board Members requested a copy of the letter of invitation and supporting
information related to the meeting held in Barrie on December 7,2004.

11. Compensation Management Study
Councillor John West requested that the recommendation reflect that this study be
completed at a cost of not more that $15,000.
Request was made for clarification on how compensation has been handled for the
Authority.
The CAO responded that the last compensation study was prepared in 1996 at which
time it was identified that the study would be updated every 5 years. This study needs
to be updated in order to ensure that all Authority staff are compensated apprapriately.
In the past staff have received the cost of living adjustment and step adjustments if
eligible. There have been times when staff did not accept salary increases due to
budget restraints.

REPORT
Dept. Report No. To: Prepared By:
2005-003 Committee of the Whole Andria Leigh
Subject: Department:
Council Zoning By-law Amendment Planning
for Residential Care Homes
C.ofW. Date:
Januarv 18, 2005
Motion # R.M. File #:
Date: RolI#:
II BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
II
In August 2003 when Official Plan Amendment No. 17 was adopted by Council, new policies were
included for residential care homes at this time it is appropriate to move forward to implement these
policies into the Township's Zoning By-law. The Official Plan policies indicate that residential care
homes will be permitted in any designation that permits residential uses and further that crisis care
facilities, treatment centres, and correctional residential care facilities are not to be permitted as of
right and shall be subject to a rezoning.
The Official Plan policy also indicates that registration of residential care homes with the
Township may be required. The Township will be requiring each residential care home to be
registered in the Township in accordance with Section 166 of the Municipal Act. This
registration is required prior to the execution of the Site Plan Agreement by Council. The
registration will be required to be renewed annually and will include an inspection to ensure
continued compliance.
On the basis of the approved policies the existing definition for "Community Residential Facility" is
required to be deleted from Zoning By-law 97-95 and new definitions for "Correctional Residential
Care Homes", "Crisis Care Facilities", and "Residential Care Hornes" are required to be added to the
by-law. The proposed definitions, attached, are consistent with definitions utilized in a number of
municipalities across the Province. (Attachment #1)
Once the new definitions are included in the by-law the "Residential Care Homes" will be added as a
permitted use in all the Residential Zones and the Agricultural/Rural Zone. In accordance with the
Planning Act, zoning by-laws are prohibitive and therefore if a use is defined in Section 6.0 of the by-
law and not listed as a permitted use, then it is not permitted. While the Correctional Residential
Care Homes and Crisis Care facilities will be defined they will not be permitted in any zone and are
therefore prohibited until the consideration of a rezoning by Council.
In order to proceed forward in this regard a public meeting is required in accordance with the
provisions under the Planning Act to obtain input on the proposed changes. As this is a general
amendment this would be circulated through the newspapers. It is therefore recommended that
Council authorize the scheduling of the Public Meeting to praceed forward in this matter.
II RECOMMENDATION(S):
II
1. THAT Report No. PD2005-003 be received and adopted; and
2. That the General Zoning By-law Arnendment for Residential care Homes proceed to a Public
Meeting in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act.
Respectfully submitted,

Subject: Management Salaries
Dear Mayor and Council,
Motion # 19 of the Dec.l, 2004 Council meeting shows that Councit adopted salary increases for Management employees
that have been made retroactive to January 1,2004.
This motion involves the spending of public funds. Surely the taxpayer should expect more infonnation than is recorded in
the Council Minutes to be made available to the public.
I hereby request that the range of salaries for each management position and the percentage raise increase for each
management position be provided to me.
I also request the total dollar amount which will be paid to these management employees retroactive to January 1,2004.
It is evident from Motion # ] 9, December], 2004 that the infonnation which I am requesting is readily available.
As well, ] would like to know why salary negotiations are not made prior to the setting of the budget for the following year,
rather than after the fact.
I am forwarding a copy of this correspondence to all members of Council so that they are aware of this request for
infonnation and the date of the request, January 26, 2005.
Should you require me to follow other procedures in addition to this written request for this information or should there be a
delay of more than two weeks in preparing a response with the requested information, please notify me . If it is more
convenient I can pick up the infonnation at the Township Office.
Thank you for forwarding this infonnation at your earliest convenience.

Dear Board Members,
At the January 2005 meeting of the Board of Directors, a presentation
was provided on the Natural Heritage Mapping. A copy of the map was
provided to each Member in attendance.
It was indicated that these maps could be reproduced for the Board
Members to share with their municipalities an therefore, if you are
interested in obtaining a map, please advise me of the following:
Do you want a copy of the map provided at the meeting which was of the
entire Lake Simcoe Watershed?
Do you want a copy of your municipality only?
Do you want a paper copy of the map and/or on CD?
What size map do you want?
How many copies map do you require?
Due to the huge cost associated with producing these maps colour, if
you are looking for a poster size map it will be limited to one per
municipality. Providing the map on CD or digital version wi!! enable you
to produce the map in quantity.
Please advise me of your requirements as soon as possible.
Thanks!
