REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF TECHNICAL SERVICES
September 2002
Systems
.
I provided Fred Marlow with some information about obtaining library
cards. Borrowing policies, and board member names, to put on the
library we page.
I also sent an updated copy of our library's catalogue to Reference Press
for inclusion in the INFO province-wide library database. The results
show records for over 105,000 titles in the library.
Circulation
Circulation statistics were up slightly in September over 2001, with
20856 items circulated. We stand at just over 201,000 circulations for
the year.
Our 3M security gate was inoperable for several days in September, but
aren't sure for how long it was not working before we noticed. This had
some effect on the number of patrons counted in the month. At year's
end I will try to estimate a more realistic number for September.
Joyce Simpson and some of her staff worked out a plan to remodel part
of the main circulation desk. They are now getting cost estimates. This
plan should provide a means for staff to do some of their work seated,
which would be very desirable from a health and safety standpoint.
And, congratulations are due for Lucey Parolin, who became a
grandmother for the first time. Lucey, daughter Kara, little Mitchell and
every one else are all doing fine.
.
Technical Processing sq) -10
TP carried out a number of small projects in September. Several dozen
leased books were returned to Baker & Taylor and McNaughten. Susan
reclassified a number of animal books from the children's collection, to
reconcile them with major changes in the Dewey Decimal Classification.
I cleaned up the Shakespeare area of the collection, and straightened up
the classification to conform with modern classification practice.
Best wishes to Joyce Keddy and husband who celebrated their 46th .
anmversary.
And we now have an in with local biker gangs - Gail Matthews showed
off her new bike and her colours (Gold Wing Angels).

Mr. Moore distributed a document outlining his experience and
frustration as a traveler trying to gain Internet access.
In summary, Mr. Moore stated that "travelers to Midland are getting a
good break, and it should stay that way". He also suggested that the
Library put together a fact sheet for Midland residents planning to
travel on how to access their e-mail through "Web-Mail" to make their

Dear Sir/Madam :
I am pleased to provide you with a copy of the report on the "Municipal use of Pesticides" which was
compiled by the Ontario Pesticides Advisory Committee (OP AC), using the responses from a survey sent
in January of this year. Almost 60% of Ontario municipalities participated by completing and returning
the questionnaire and I would like to thank them for their responses.
The large percentage of rnunicipalities that responded to our survey made this a very significant and
successful study, and the information and comments provided have greatly assisted OP AC in its
deliberations on this important topic.
This report is available in both English and French on OPAC's Website (www.opac.gov.on.ca) under
"Publications".
Yours truly,

INTRODUCTION 5cl ,~
Since the 1960's Ontario has worked in conjunction with the Federal authorities to regulate the
I use of pesticides based on scientific data to ensure public and environmental safety. The issue
of pesticide use on municipal and private properties has become more contentious since the
Supreme Court of Canada's decision to uphold the banning of landscape pesticide use on
i private property in Hudson, Quebec. This prompted the Ontario Pesticides Advisory Committee
(OPAC) to conduct a survey to determine the extent of landscape pesticide use by Ontario
municipalities and their future plans for landscape pest management. A survey questionnaire
was mailed to each incorporated municipality in Ontario seeking information on specific
pesticides used, areas of use (I.e., parks, sportsfields, cemeteries), trends in amounts used,
I future directions, and matters dealing with education and licensing of pesticide applicators. The
questionnaire (Appendix 1) was mailed to each of the 448 upper- and lower-tier municipalities in
Ontario. They were addressed to the Clerk of each municipality, and were sent out in January,
2002. The ten questions were designed to obtain general information on municipal landscape
l pest control, without being too detailed or time-consuming for the municipality to complete.
Space was provided in the questionnaire for written comments.
I RETURNS
l Fifty-eight percent of questionnaires were returned. Responses were received from most of the
larger urban municipalities, together with a good cross-section of smaller urban and rural
municipalities.
l Questionnaires were completed by a variety of people, ranging from individuals with extensive
pesticide training at the post-secondary level, to those with only a passing knowledge of pest
I control. In small rural municipalities, the information was provided by the municipal clerks.
Many larger municipalities sent back questionnaires completed by the public works manager or
roads superintendent. Most major urban centres have environmental departments/committees
l that are responsible for green space maintenance programs. Staff associated with such
programs may have specialized post-secondary training in horticulture and/or environmental
sciences. Considering the wide range of expertise of the respondents, some of the information
derived from the questionnaires may not be comparable.
I Some questionnaires were returned but not completed. In municipalities where no pesticides
are used, many forms were returned with notations such as "no pesticides used". In a few of
l the larger municipalities where full-time staff are devoted to pest management issues, detailed
reports, memos or council resolutions were submitted in place of the questionnaire. Questions
5, 6, 7 and 10 provided space for comments, which were included in 63% of the returns. In
I many respects, the written comments provided as much input to the survey as the "check-off"
sections. For this reason, much of the commentary analysis is anecdotal or subjective in
nature.
I PESTICIDE USE
I Thirty-six percent of the respondents indicated that they have never used landscape pesticides,
or that their use has been eliminated over the last 10 years. Many of these municipalities are
non-agricultural and rural, such as townships with forest-based economies. In other smaller
I municipalities with a strong natural resource influence (lakes, rivers, unique land forms, cottage
I 2
1 - j
\\ ;;:~yL)
,~ ./
../ J
and tourist areas) there is pressure to restrict pesticide use to a minimum. Some respondents
indicated that funding cutbacks have curtailed municipal spray programs, and that they have
disposed of their application equipment. .
Many rural municipalities do limited pest control, primarily for poison ivy or other noxious weeds
on a spot-treatment basis in response to public complaints. Others restrict herbicide use to
cemeteries or to crack-and-crevice treatments in sidewalks or paving-stone walkways. The vast
majority of municipalities have reduced pesticide use in recent years, with 116 showing a
reduction and only 4 showing an increase.
Pesticide products most commonly used include 2,4-D and 2,4-D mixtures for control of
broad leaf weeds in turf, and glyphosate for spot-treatment of weeds. Although 91 municipalities
specifically indicated use of 2,4-D mixtures and 81 indicated use of glyphosate, many of the
questionnaires were not complete or consistent in this area. Questionnaires completed by
operations persons yielded the most complete information on product use.
The most common area for pesticide application was in parks, followed closely by playing fields
and roadsides. Cemeteries were common areas of treatment in some smaller municipalities. In
all cases except golf courses, cultural control (mowing, fertilization, watering) was the most
common alternate means of landscape maintenance. The concept of Integrated Pest
Management (IPM)' was often mentioned in situations where pesticide use is being actively
reduced. The responses showed that virtually all municipalities are reducing pesticide use,
even in areas where heavy agricultural economies exist.
USE RESTRICTIONS ON PUBLIC PROPERTY
The survey shows that many municipalities have taken steps to reduce landscape pesticide use
on public property. This has been accomplished in most cases through internal policy, but in
one case with a municipal by-law. Currently there are no municipal restrictions on use on
private property.
The one municipality that passed a by-law against pesticide use on public property has had
petitions to council by private individuals and licensed contractors to relax the law, however the
council refused. Difficulties were experienced by citizens who had hired private contractors to
do white grub control on front lawns, in that the contractors refused to treat the portions of the
lawns which fell on the municipal road allowance, for fear of prosecution.
. IPM is a decision-making process for pest management activities which uses a variety of tools,
including cultural, mechanical and biological methods, along with chemical methods only when
necessary, to manage pest populations.

l S~L
I USE RESTRICTIONS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY
~ Virtually all the municipalities are aware of the Hudson, Quebec decision and know that it could
affect them. Forty-two of the respondents indicated that they are considering restricting the use
of lawn care pesticides on private property. In most cases, the issue is still under discussion,
I and no definite approach has been determined. Some municipalities have set up committees to
look into the matter and report to council. Other municipalities are in the midst of public
consultation programs, and the results will be considered in policy formulation. One upper-tier
I municipality (I.e., County or Regional Municipality) is co-ordinating a unified approach with its
lower-tier municipalities. Some municipalities have prepared extensive reports with
recommendations to council that are under consideration. Many municipalities are adopting a
I wait-and-see approach.
ENFORCEMENT
~ The issue of enforcement of is one that has not been resolved. Some feel that pesticide
regulation is a Federal/Provincial responsibility and that municipalities do not have the staff or
I expertise to become involved. Others are awaiting legal opinions to establish municipal rights in
the matter.
r Most municipalities considering private property restrictions had no response to this question,
other than to indicate that methods of enforcement had not been determined. Some stated that
by-law enforcement will be used. Others, recognizing the difficulty of enforcing such by-laws,
i took a more moderate approach, recommending establishing educational programs to help
residents with the responsible and minimal use of pesticides on their own properties.
I EDUCATION
The responses indicated that educational programs for municipal employees are considered
J reasonably good, whereas for homeowners, they are inadequate. Recommendations focused
mainly on public education through brochures and videos. A few responses suggested
provincial training and licensing of homeowners in the safe use of pesticides. A number of
( others suggested that the products should be made safer, and that only ready-to-use products
with clearer labelling be available to homeowners.
I LICENSED CONTRACTORS
I Most municipalities that apply pesticides do so with their own licensed staff. Smaller
municipalities that do only spot treatments or sporadic poison ivy control tend to hire licensed
private applicators.
I DEMONSTRATION PROJECT
I Several municipalities involved in pesticide reduction and IPM programs were very interested in
participating in a demonstration project, and wished to be informed of any further developments.
Three municipalities have already taken action related to this area, either through the
I publication of brochures or by setting aside "pesticide-free" locations.
I 4
COMMENTS 6~;\
Many diverse comments were received. The r"ecurring theme was that the municipalities have
been reducing pesticide use for some time in favour of a more comprehensive approach to
landscape pest management. Even the very few that are still using full treatment programs are
adopting new strategies to reduce their pesticide use substantially.
Concern was expressed by a few municipalities about pesticide contamination of surface and
groundwater sources. In general, some municipalities would like to resolve the pesticide issue
in a uniform manner, rather than acting individually.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
1. More than one-third of the survey respondents do not use landscape pesticides on
municipal property. Nearly all respondents have substantially reduced or eliminated
pesticide use on public lands in recent years by adopting integrated pest
management programs, involving a combination of chemical and non-chemical
methods of pest control.
2. Herbicides are the most widely used landscape pesticides. The most commonly
used are 2,4-0 mixtures and glyphosate. Where pesticides are used, the most
commonly treated areas are parks, playing fields and roadsides.
3. Forty-two municipalities, mostly urban and/or resort areas, are studying the
restriction of landscape pesticide use on private property. However, there appears to
be a great deal of uncertainty about the most effective way to achieve and enforce
these restrictions. The survey showed that the majority of municipalities are
undecided; eight have stated that they intend to pass by-laws, nine will follow a
public education outreach approach to educate homeowners in the safe handling
and reduction of pesticide use.
4. The strong response to the survey indicates that many municipalities are concerned
and aware of the pesticides issue. Some municipalities were reluctant to become
involved in restricting private use, because they realized that it would overlap existing
federal and provincial pesticide legislation. Several municipalities would like to see a
uniform approach to resolving the issue of pesticide use on private lands.
5. The availability of educational programs for municipal employees was considered
reasonably adequate, whereas for homeowners most respondents considered them
to be inadequate.

Dear Mayor Craig:
I am pleased to invite your council to participate in the Ontario Heritage Foundation's Young
Heritage Leaders Program 2002.
Now in its third year, this London Life-sponsored program provides you with the opportunity to
recognize young people, 18 years old and under, who have made significant contributions to
community heritage preservation.
Looking around Ontario, it's easy to see the difference young people have made to heritage in their
communities. In 2001, hundreds of people from across the province participated, confirming the
program is an excellent way to promote awareness of heritage preservation projects and encourage
young people to continue their interest in the heritage field.
Councils may submit up to three nominations - one in each of the heritage areas - built, cultural and
natural. Small project groups may also be considered for nomination where there has been a shared
accomplishment. The enclosed poster and brochure are being distributed to local heritage
organizations, school boards and youth groups to help promote the program. I encourage your council
to work with these groups to identify worthy young peoplc.
A Guidelines and Nomination Form brochure explaining the program in detail is enclosed. Please note
that the guidelines have been updated to respond to suggestions made by some municipalities.
The nomination deadline is Mondav, December 16, 2002.
I encourage your council to participate in this program to recognize the significant work being done to
preserve and promote heritage in your community.
Yours truly,
@rd~

Dear tvlayor Craig:
Further to our letter of Oct. 28, 2002, a key concern in our efforts to obtain an equitable and fair
settlenlent, relates to the illllount ofti111€ and effort spent by Towl1Ship officials and
representatives during the processing of our Rezoning Application:
They were as foHows:
1) Two ten minute consultations with tvfr Kolbe in tris office.
2) One fifteen rninute consultation with tvls Leigh in her office, and
3) A presentation in f1-ont of the Township Planning Conll11ittee which was abandoned after ten
nlinutes as the Township was not fully prepared to consider the application, because infof111ation
had not been dissenlinated to all TOwllShip Departnlents involved in the Rezoning Aplication.
We ask you to consider this infonnatlon with respect to our request for fL111her refund.
Yours truly,

Dear rvlayof Craig:
Ref Blackberry Hill Rezoning Application.
Son1etinle ago we subnritted an "Application for Rezoningn plus a $2500.00 fee, to the TowliShip.
This was done only after pre-consultation with the TOWllShip Planner, the Building Chief and the
Fire Department in accordance with the Township's "Guidelines for Development" (Sept. 1999).
That is to say, prior to paying the $2500.00, we established the criteria which had to be iuet in
order to achieve successful rezoning.
We subsequently felt that we had satisfied all requirements but were told that was not so.
OUf correspondence ofDet. 30, 2001 (attached as Annex A), explains our position.
1'..Jote, that under the cirCU111stances, we expected full refund of our $2500.00 fee. In fact we
received only one half of the fee !
Following talks with :tvls Zieleniewski, wid tvls Leigh .we were directed to you, the Mayor and
your Council.
:tvlY wife and I feel that we have been unfairly treated/charged and ask you to redJess the situation.
\Ve are "Vvilling to appear before Council to further illununate this request.
Yours truly,

REFERENCE:- REZONING APPLICA nON
Dear Andria;
Recently we submitted a Professional Architects report (attached as Annex A) as requested by the
Township's Building Officer, in support of our rezoning application. This report was adjudged by
the Township as being unacceptable.
We subsequently hired a different, independent Architect to review this report. He concluded that
Mr Myles Allison's report was full and sufficient, with respect to the Township's original
directive (attached as Annex B).
The same architect at our request, approached the Building Officer requesting infonnation that
might resolve Blackbeny Hill's misunderstanding/misconception vis a vis the status of our
rezoning application.
After due consideration of the independent architect's subsequent report, it would appear that
little, if any, support exists for the rezoning efforts and future planning of Blackberry Hill Farm,
Therefore, we would request that the rezoning application be withdrawn, and a refund of our fee
be considered.
We appreciate your advice and patience, and hope that our ill-advised efforts did not cause llildue
aggravation with1l1 the Township's offices.
Yours sincerely,
Peter and Margaret Kells.

To: Oro Moraine and Aggregate Resource Working Groups
From: Nick McDonald
Date: November 5, 2002
Subject: Meeting of October 18, 2002
Job Number: 2039 and 2080
The intent of this memo is to briefly summarize the discussions held during the joint meeting of
the two working groups on October 18, 2002.
1. Nick McDonald indicated at the outset that the intent of the meeting was to obtain input
from the two working groups on the documentation that has been prepared by both
Meridian and Azimuth and to determine whether the projects were generally heading in
the right direction. Nick also reminded the members of the working groups that a public
open house/presentation is proposed on November 12, 2002 at the Guthrie Arena. Nick
also indicated that the notice for the meeting will be sent out by bulk mail to all property
owners on the Oro Moraine.
2. Councillor Harry Hughes indicated that direct notice to property owners on the Oro
Moraine was entirely appropriate. Councillor Hughes indicated that not all residents and
business owners are aware of the decisions that will be made with respect to the Oro
Moraine. Councillor Hughes also indicated that the notice should be sufficiently detailed
to ensure that residents and business owners will have an appreciation for the two
projects. Nick responded that the notice would be fairly detailed and include some of the
major recommendations being made by Meridian and Azimuth.
3. Councillor Hughes also indicated that he would feel much more comfortable with the
product of the work if all of the policy decisions were based solely on science. Nick
indicated that more than just science is being considered in this process. Other factors to
consider are based on the vision of the community, as expressed by its residents and
politicians, the social impacts of development generally in a sensitive area and a number
of other subjective elements. Some of these subjective elements are not based on
science, but are based on the values expressed by the Township's residents. Mike
Jones of Azimuth added that cumulative impacts also have to be taken into account, and
the determination of cumulative impacts have not always been easily based on scientific
fact.

.. ti),
4. Ernie Dryden of the Oro Moraine Association indicated that he was very pleased to see
the Meridian report recornmending that the entire Oro Moraine be considered as
significant. Nick indicated that the Province has not recognized the landforrn as
significant historically. Nick also indicated that the basis for the recommendation was
that the significance of the Moraine in the context of Oro Medonte and the County of
Simcoe should be elevated. Jackie Fraser 01 the APAO disagreed with the use of the
word significant, since it has a planning connotation. Jackie indicated that there are 34
other Moraines in southern Ontario and none of them have been identified as being
significant to the best of her knowledge. Gord Jensch (resident) suggested that it could
be considered as locally significant in the Official Plan. Dick Pipe of Georgian
Aggregates suggested that perhaps the word sensitive should be used instead of the
word significant. Much additional discussion of the use of the term significant was held,
with no resolution on the matter.
5. Ernie Dryden indicated that the Township of Tiny policy dealing with significant
woodlands and aggregate extraction should be incorporated in the Official Plan. Kathy
Woeller of the Ministry of Natural Resources indicated that while the principle behind the
policy had some merit, the policy, as written in the Township of Tiny Official Plan does
provide an ability to utilize these lands if certain criteria are met. Kathy indicated that, as
far she is concerned, the intent of the Oro Moraine land use process is to make a
decision now on where certain land uses can be permitted, rather than leaving it for
another day. Nick agreed and indicated that the land use policies would say yes to
certain uses in certain areas and no to certain uses in other areas, rather than waiting for
site specific assessments on a case by case basis.
6. Ernie Dryden inquired about what a fill control by-law is. Nick indicated that the Township
currently has a fill control by-law that applies to all lands zoned EP in the Municipality. If
this zoning is applied to natural core areas on the Oro Moraine, it is suggested that the fill
control by-law be applied in these areas as well.
7. Ernie also indicated that he was unaware that the County had a tree cutting by-law. Nick
responded that such a by-law does exist and the Township would be making an effort to
work with the County to ensure that it is as good as it can be with respect to tree cutting
on the Oro Moraine. Councillor Hughes suggested that perhaps the recommendation
dealing with tree cutting be expanded to encourage the planting of trees on the Oro
Moraine. Nick agreed that this was a worthwhile suggestion and indicated that the
Meridian report would be modified accordingly.
8. Ernie indicated that he had some concerns about the recommendation that suggests that
development on full servicing is much more appropriate than partial or private services on
the Oro Moraine. Ernie indicated that if this recommendation was adopted, more urban
and dense development would be occurring on the Oro Moraine. Nick responded that
the challenge in planning for fully serviced development on the Oro Moraine will be to
determine how the development can occur having regard for the rural character of the
community. Nick used as an example the community of Craighurst, where development
on municipal services is being contemplated. Rather than encourage the development of
small lots on full services, Nick is of the view that a density that is somewhere between

,
,
f
I
typical rural development and typical urban development in Barrie would be appropriate
in Craighurst. Nick indicated that the typical density of new development in Barrie is 15
units per hectare whereas it is 7 units per hectare in Horseshoe Resort. Chris Jones
added that it could be argued that we would be going further to protect the rural area of
Oro-Medonte by directing development to compact urban communities.
9. Patrick Capobianco (landowner/developer) indicated that there should be some
recognition in the process of existing development approvals. Nick responded that this
was a very valid point and that developments that have proceeded through the approval
process would obviously be recognized. However, Nick also indicated that there are a
few developments that have received approval some time ago but which have not been
acted upon. These should be reviewed. Ernie Dryden indicated that, in his view, Buffalo
Springs should never have been approved. A considerable amount of discussion on
Buffalo Springs ensued.
10. Ernie Dryden also indicated that the Edgar Site is a mess given that it has not been
utilized for any purpose in the last few years. Ernie agreed with the Meridian suggestion
that the development approvals that apply to the Edgar site should also be considered
again as part of the Oro Moraine land use process.
11. Jackie Fraser of APAO indicated that well planned aggregate sites should be considered
as an interim land use. Jackie also indicated that extraction does not harm the
environment and that land use planning should take a balanced approach. Lastly, Jackie
indicated that aggregate uses, forestry uses and agricultural operations are appropriate in
the rural area. Mayor Craig indicated that many residents would not agree with APAO's
contention that extraction does not harm the environment. Jackie Fraser responded that
they have collected enough scientific data to prove that it does not.
12. Councillor Ralph Hough indicated that he cannot accept the notion that removing gravel
to within 1.5 metres of the water table will not have an impact on the environment.
Councillor Hough indicated that the Province is paying people to decommission open
wells and as a result there must be concerns about ground water being contaminated at
the Provincial level. Jackie Fraser responded that 1.5 metres is accepted in the industry
and that no hydrogeological study is required if this 1.5 metres amount is undisturbed.
Kathy Woeller of the MNR indicated that it should not be the responsibility of aggregate
operators to filter the contaminants from uses like agricultural or recreational activities in
the area.
13. Mayor Neil Craig inquired of Jackie how aggregate operations can enhance the natural
heritage of an area. Jackie indicated that this means that the features of an area could
be enhanced after an extraction has been completed.
14. Dick Pipe of Georgian Aggregates indicated that he did not agree with the figure in the
Meridian report that indicated that aggregate resource operations on the Oro Moraine
utilized about 26.3% of all water used on the Oro Moraine. Mike Jones of Azimuth
Environmental responded that these figures are based on actual values that are based
on 180 days of extraction.

15. Nick McDonald indicated that there will be an incredible amount of concern and lack of
buy-in on the part of the public that gravel extraction is an interim land use. Nick also
indicated that it has always been the Township's intent to strike a balance between
protecting the environment and character of the Moraine and providing for aggregate
extraction.
16. Jackie Fraser of the APAO indicated that she had some further concerns about the Oro
Moraine process being closely modeled on the Oak Ridges Moraine process. Nick
responded that the Oro Moraine land use document will be a 'Made in Oro-Medonte'
document. Jackie then indicated that APAO cannot support the identification of an area
where aggregate extraction will not be permitted. Jackie submitted that the process
should allow lor site specific considerations. Nick indicated that the intent of the process
is to be definitive on where extraction can occur.
17. Jackie Fraser further indicated that APAO wili need to know how significant the lands to
be removed from extraction are. Kathy Woeller indicated that the cut-off score of 30 has
not been finalized. Nick McDonald submitted that the Township is making an effort
through these processes to concentrate impacts wherever possible. Nick also indicated
that the cut-off of 30 in of itself may not prohibit extraction in some areas. June Little
indicated that the draft notice for the meeting implies that more than just aggregate
extraction would be prohibited. Nick agreed with this assessment.
18. Nick McDonald then indicated that the next step in the process, after the public meeting
on November 12, 2002, is to provide the working group with draft policies and mapping
tor consideration. June Little asked Nick what is the strategy with respect to aggregate
extraction. Nick responded that the strategy has been to attempt to concentrate impacts,
use only existing haul routes and to work more closely with the MNR on license
applications.
19. Ernie Dryden asked Jackie Fraser what she was afraid of. Jackie indicated that the
APAO was concerned about losing designated land for extraction. Ernie responded that
there are some serious concerns about extraction on the Moraine and that the
Township's water supply relies upon a sound environment. Ernie further suggested that
only fhe pits that currently exist should be allowed to exist on the Moraine and that no
new pits should be established. Jackie Fraser responded that APAO cannot agree with
that solution.
20. Dick Pipe of Georgian Aggregates indicated that the industry does not adversely impact
water supplies and that it has been proven time and time again in other locations. Jackie
Fraser further reiterated that the process needs to rely on science, not on speculation.
Jackie Fraser further indicated that she did not like the word significant given the number
of Moraines in the Province. Mayor Craig then asked Jackie whether other Moraines are
under the same types as development pressures as the one in Oro-Medonte.
21. Councillor Raiph Hough indicated that the bottom line is that the aggregate industry has
done a terrible job with public relations. The industry has caused a problem for us (the
Township) and that the industry should not be continuing to abandon pits and then call it
rehabilitation.

22. Deputy Mayor Walter Dickie enquired about how many landowners would be affected by
the prohibition on lot creation as suggested by Meridian in their report. Nick responded
that it would not be a large number of lots. However, this will be confirmed.
23. Ernie Dryden enquired about what the recommendation on Water Taking meant. Mike
Azimuth responded that the intent of the recommendation was that water takings should
not adversely impact natural features and functions. Ernie lurther stated that any
proponent of a development should prepare detailed studies that meet with requirements
of the Municipality before proceeding. Both Nick McDonald and Mike Jones indicated
that the Township will be developing detailed criteria and policies on the types of studies
that will be required.
24. Ernie Dryden indicated that Justice O'Connor (the Walkerton Inquiry) indicated that the
Province and the municipalities should be protecting the source of drinking water
wherever possible. A discussion on watershed planning then ensued with Nick agreeing
that watershed planning is an appropriate way to plan for growth and development and
that the principle of watershed planning should be included within the Official Plan.
25. Nick McDonald then indicated that the next step in the process in the public meeting on
November 12, 2002. the next meeting of the combined Oro Moraine and Aggregate
Resource working group is scheduled for November 28, 2002 at 1 :00 p.m. in the
Township office. If anyone has any questions about the above summary please contact

information session discussing these issues beginning at 7:00 p.m. on
THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 14.... at the Oro-Medonte Communitt
Arena in Guthrie.

RE: Career Development Training
Dear Administrators:
At the October 17, 2002 Commission meeting, the topic of staff training and development was
discussed. Technical training as it relates to specific airport operations, such as WHIMS, fuel
handling, special vehicle operating procedures, fork-lift licensing and Aeronautical Radio Operators
Certificates, to name a few, can be obtained from known sources. However, the Lake Simcoe
Regional Airport Commission does feel that a void exists with respect to career development
opportunities for the Airport Manager. This can be attributed to the reporting responsibility of the
Airport Manager to a Commission comprising of nine individuals whose primary responsibilities are
not the day-to-day operations of the airport or daily contact with airport management.
I am aware that both the City of Barrie and the Township of Oro-Medonte offer career development
and training opportunities for department managers and supervisors through seminars, instructional
courses as well as training sessions offered both in-house and off site.
The purpose of this letter is to request for the opportunity for the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport's
manager, Mike Drumm, to participate in any career development training, that your respective
municipalities are offering to other department managers and supervisors, and further that you would
consider appropriate for the Airport Manager to participate in. Business Planning, Marketing, Human
Relations and Financial Analysis are suggested topics, which could be helpful in developing Mr.
Drumm's skills further.
The Lake Simcoe Regional Airport does have a budget line item for staff training so that any
applicable costs would be allocated accordingly.

Subject: Request to waive the fee for the Oro-Medonte Chamber of Commerce.
(Thursday November 14, 2002)
At the end oflast week, staff received confirmation with respect to the Oro-Medonte
Chambers of Commerce hosting an "Info Session" regarding Septic Tanks at the Oro-
Medonte Arena Banquet Hall. The Recreation Department was aware that the Chamber
asked for a date to be booked, but the event was not confirmed, nor did staff receive any
written request to waive the fee. Mis-communication between the Chamber of
Commerce Administrator and part-time office assistant, led to the Chambers in assuming
that the Banquet Hall was confirmed for their event and that it would be "tree". In light
of Council ongoing commitment to support the Oro-Medonte Chamber of Commerce
endeavors to become self sufficient, staff recommends that the fee of $267.00 be waived
for the Info Session on Thursday November 14, 2002.
Staff, reiterated that Council only has the authority to waive fees.

In the 2002 Budget, funds were allotted for two road improvement projects, being the paving of both
the 15/16 Sideroad from Hwy. #11 to East Oro, and Line 2 North from Hwy. #11 to the 15/16
Sideroad, using recycled asphalt. Both projects were completed in August, 2002 with no outstanding
problems, with the exception of a concern by Mr. Jim Bell at #423 Line 2 South. Mr. Bell felt that the
road in front of his property was too elevated, causing a hazard when exiting his driveway, as well as
creating drainage problems at his garage. This paving project raised the centre line elevation
approximately three inches.
Mr. Bell advised that his father built the present home in 1976 and at that time, the house and garage
were slightly below the centre line elevation of the road, but over the past years, the municipality has
apparently raised that elevation approximately three feet. In discussions with Mr. Keith Mathieson,
Director of Engineering and Environmental Services, and Mr. Brian Roubos, Manager of Operations,
both men, who have worked for the municipality for 20 years and originally with the former Oro
Township, have stated that the Roads Department has not added any gravel to raise the road section
in front of Mr. Bell's property and that it is at the original elevation.
Upon verbal direction from Council, an on-site meeting was held with Mr. Bell to provide a solution for
a better entrance onto Line 2 North and three options were presented:
Option #1 - Move the top portion of Mr. Bell's driveway to the south, which would provide better
access and correct the drainage concern. This repair would involve excavating part of the front lawn
to move the driveway, removing five pine trees, adding gravel, and placing topsoil on the closed
portion of the existing lane. This work was estimated at a cost of $2,100.00 for Township forces to
complete.
Option #2 - Obtain an estimate from a paving contractor to pave the existing driveway and swale the
drainage water from Line 2 down both sides of the driveway and onto the lawn. This repair would
achieve the same results and was estimated at $4,280.00 by Global Simcoe Paving.
-1' .
~Ption ~3 - During the 2003 Budget, deliberations proposed reconstruction of Line 2 to excavate theb) "a
hill at Mr. Bell's residence, reg ravel and repave. This estimate would be approximately $25,000.00 to
$30,000.00.
Giving consideration to Mr. Bell's concerns and the three options listed above, it is recommended that
consideration be given to Option #2 and that the cost be shared 50/50 by the municipality and Mr.
Bell. Due to the time of the year, it would be the most cost efficient and quickest way to rectify both
problems.
Option #1 would not be stabilized for spring runoff and could possibly create erosion problems.
Option#3 would not be cost efficient due to the recently completed repaving of Line 2. The hill in front
of the Bell property is not a traffic concern, but does present a problem when exiting the driveway.

Shanty Bay Boat Launch Roads

At the Regular Council Meeting held on April 17, 2002, Mr. Gordon Grant presented concerns to
Council with regards to the use and maintenance of the boat ramp in Shanty Bay. Mr. Grant's major
concern was the use of the ramp by Bev Jones Construction to load their barge with equipment and
materials for shoreline restoration work. This use blocked the ramp and held up fishermen and
boaters from launching their boats. Also, Mr. Grant stated that Jones Construction has caused
substantial damage to the concrete ramp and exposed the rebar.
Mr. Peter Gill was hired by Jones Construction in early summer of this year to design and obtain the
necessary permits for the needed repairs. An on-site meeting was held on September 30, 2002 to
discuss the needed work and a proposed utility ramp that could be used by Jones Construction and
area boaters. This design drawing arrived at the Administration Office on October 23, 2002 for
approval and a copy is attached for Council's perusal.
Mr. Gill has advised that the Ministry of Natural Resources has given a working window of up to
March 15, 2003 for completion of this proposed work. The ramp repair will consist of sand bagging
the existing concrete dewatering, repairing the rebar, and pouring new cement. The proposed utility
ramp will be installed on the west side of the boat ramp and will consist of placing large field stones at
the water's edge and extending into the lake, which will allow trucks and equipment to back onto the
ramp and load onto a barge. The dimensions for this utility ramp are approximately seven (7) metres
long, four (4) metres wide and one (1) meter in height, and both ramps will be located directly in front
of the 20 meter municipal right-of-way. All costs and proposed work, including tree removal, ditch
and shoulder work on the west side of Line 2, will be the responsibility of Bev Jones Construction.
l~rtm~M~~~!~:">'; ,
The Shanty Bay boat launch has been a concern of area residents for the past two years due to the
condition of the concrete and the barge owned by Jones Construction working at this location. In
reviewing this proposal, the new utility ramp would allow the barge to load and not cause delays for
boaters or cause further damage to the boat ramp. This utility ramp would also provide wave
Prot~ction from a south wind for boaters and act as a second boat dock. Therefore, it is -12)- i
recommended that the designed repairs proceed immediately for both the boat ramp and utility ramp .
for completion before the winter freeze.

Speed Reduction - 3'd Line Roads
Horseshoe Valley
C.OFW.:
DATE: November 1, 2002
MOTION #:
DATE: R. M. FILE #:
t BACKGROUND:' . , ',' ' a
. .. ' .
Correspondence dated October 8,2002 (copy attached) was received from Horseshoe Resort
requesting that consideration be given to reduce the speed limit on Line 3, from County Road #22 to
the Highland Drive entrance. This above-noted road section is approximately two kilometres in length
with numerous vertical curves, one 900 degree horizontal curve, and a present speed limit of 80 km/h.
The most recent traffic count for Line 3, from County Road #22 to Bass Lake Sideroad, was taken in
June, 2000 with an average of 726 vehicles per day.
An on-site inspection of Line 3 was completed to apply the Public Works "Roadway Service
Standards for Speed Designations". The "Minimum Sight Stopping Distance in Wet Conditions" could
not be met within the present 80 km/h posting, but could be achieved in a 50 km/h speed zone.
I SUMMARY; ,
Considering the traffic, land development, pedestrian traffic, the new entrance for Carriage Hills
Phase IV, and that the "Minimum Sight Stopping Distance" cannot be met within the present speed
zone, it is recommended that the speed limit be reduced to 50 km/h within the two kilometre area
from County Road #22 to the entrance at Highland Drive.
~RECOMMENDATIONS:'" . ,
1. THAT Council receives and adopts this report.
2. THAT the present speed limit of 80 km/h be reduced to 50 km/h on Line 3 within the two kilo metre
area from County Road #22 to the entrance at Highland Drive.
3. THAT the Clerk be authorized to prepare the necessary By-law.
4. THAT the Public Works Superintendent advises Horseshoe Resort accordingly.

RE: Speed Reduction - 3rd Line
Dea r Jerry I
As in most cases in Ontario, the speed limit on rural roads in Oro-Medonte is 80 km/h.
This includes the Third Line adjacent to Horseshoe Resort. It is the Resorts belief that
the speed limit on this road between Simcoe County Road # 22 (Horseshoe Valley
Road) and the Highland Drive entrance should be reduced to 50 km/h.
Cole Sherman's Corridor Traffic Study of June 2000 and the Functional Servicing Report
for Carriage Hills both identified a need to reduce the speed limit on this road. I would
be happy visit Council to support this request.
Sincerely,
