Resources Act and will require anyone taking more than a total of 50,000 litres of
water a day to obtain a Permit to Take Water. The Act provides an Authority to
implement a user fee which will range from $750 for new applications and renewals

programs have full registration.
We are still taking registration for the Paws to Read program. With many time slots
filling up quickly.
A special program for school age children was offered on January 29. We celebrated
the Series of Unfortunate Events by starting the New Year off badly with a program
titled "Bad Beginnings". The children enjoyed coming up with their own titles for the
next Lemony Snicket book. They cornpleted a quiz to test how horrible their knowledge
of the events and characters in a series of Unfortunate Events is. They even enjoyed a
game to find the worst dressed participant.
Drop-In Family Storytime will begin in February.
Outreach and Publicitv
Suzanne Campbell presented the monthly library story-time at the Ontario Early Years
Center.
Book displays included Valentines, Orphans (books like Lemony Snicket), Poetry and
Science Fair.
Suzanne Campbell participated in the Family Literacy Celebrations at Orchard Park
School on February 27. Presentation and booktalks were given to children from senior
kindergarten to grade eight. Both the children and I enjoyed an afternoon of sharing
books and language games.

MONTHLY REPORT
DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION SERVICES
JANUARY 2005
Our co-op student from ODCVI completed her work term with Information Services at the end of
the month. She had job shadowed in all departments except technical services and worked on
creating a database for the historical photos that we have in the library. Mike attended the
school's job fair, held on January 51h
Jayne, Michelle and I took an audio conference programme on "Serving Seniors", presented by
ALA and aLA.. Methods to measure the characteristics of the senior population in your
community were discussed. Many programming ideas that had worked for a number of libraries
were described and tips for them were shared. Possible grants were mentioned, although the
presenting libraries were American, so the recommended grants might not be available in
Canada. Programming that could be done in retirement and nursing homes was also discussed.
IT has had to change our web counter again, so statistics for hits on the homepage are not
available for January. Use of the Internet computers is up from 1620 bookings last January to
1861 bookings this January. Volunteer hours are also up from 208 last January to 232 this
January. The use of the online databases we have mounted on the Internet continues to climb:
CBCA was used 61 times in January 2004 and 351 times in 2005. Proquest was used 170 times
in January 2004 and 902 times in 2005.
Increasingly, I see a need for more talks in the community to make people aware of the services
the library offers. I have a power point presentation on services for Seniors which I have
presented in the past, but I need to contact more groups to see if they would like us to visit. I also
would like to create one on using the databases we have paid for. This is in my goals for this
year, so hopefully I can find time to do it.

Dear Premier McGuinty:
The Council of The City of Orillia has solicited the Township of Oro-Medonte's support of their
request to the Minister for Community and Social Services to declare The Huronia Regional
Centre as a "Centre of Specialized Care".
Oro-Medonte's Council is cognizant of the long reaching negative impact that the closure of
the Huronia Regional Centre will have on the clients, staff and surrounding community.
We are also in agreement that the alternative of declaring the facility as a "Centre of
Specialized Care" is a viable alternative that will preserve the special and necessary services
that these facilities provide.
On behalf of Council of the Township, I would therefore respectfully request that you give
favourable consideration to the declaration of The Huronia Regional Centre as a "Centre of
Specialized Care",
Yours truly,

Dear Mr. Mayor:
On January 11,2005, the Honourable Paul DeVillers forwarded to me a
copy of your letter of December 8,2004, regarding Measurement Canada's (MC)
plans to regulate the accuracy of water meters.
MC recently conducted a review of the water trade sector through
stakeholder consultations which were held across Canada. I understand that
120 water industry representatives attended these sessions, and that MC has
accepted the recommendations, made by a consensus of stakeholders, to
implement a meter inspection program.
MC recognizes that the water trade sector rcview recommendations
could result in a meter inspection program similar to other utility meters currently
regulated. However, the specifics of the water meter inspection program may be
different and wiH be developed by joint working groups consisting of water
industry stakeholders and MC representatives. A cost benefit analysis of each
component of the water meter inspection program will be completed by the joint
working groups and the final decision to implement each componcnt wil1 be made
as a result ofthese analyses. The intention is to establish phase-in periods so that
the water industry wil1 have ample time to meet any new requirements.

Re: Measurement Canada's Intention to Requlate Water Meters
Dear Mr. DeVillers:
It is with great concern to the Township of Oro-Medonte that the federal government is
considering all residential water meters to be regulated in the same manner as that of
gas and electric meters.
The Township of Oro-Medonte has eleven (11) water systems ranging in size from
seventeen (17) homes to three hundred (300), of which nine (9) water systems are
metered.
In 1997, the Township implemented a program to install and upgrade water meters in
our water systems, primarily to encourage conservation. To charge homeowners on a
"water consumption" basis is virtually impossible in these small systems. Due to
upgrades required after the Walkerton tragedy, the installation of meters within our last
two systems has been delayed.
As a result of the new acts and regulations, water rates in our municipality have risen
dramatically. If the Township is required to regulate water meters, additional costs of
$25.00-$30.00 per household would result, without improving the operation of our water
systems.
The Township of Oro-Medonte respectfully requests that you oppose any intentions
Measurement Canada may have with respect to the regulation of water meters for
residential households.
Sincerely,
TOWNSHIP OF ORO-MEDONTE

Dear Mayor Craig and Council:
In October of 2004, the Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Sheela Basrur met
with the Board of Health for the Simcoe County District Health Unit and
requested that the health unit enter into discussions regarding a proposed
merger of the Muskoka District public health pragrams and operations with the
Simcoe County District Health Unit.
Dr. Basrur's request was made in response to the recomrnendations of Mr.
Graham Scott's assessment of the governance and management of the
Muskoka-Parry Sound Health Unit.
Over the past several months, representatives of the Simcoe County District
Health Unit Board of Health have participated with representatives of the North
Bay and District Health Unit Board of Health, the Muskoka-Parry Sound Health
Unit, the District of Muskoka and the District of Parry Sound as part of a
Transition Steering Committee. The mandate of this committee was to oversee
the preparation of the merger plan and to make recommendations to the Chief
Medical Officer of Health and the Boards of Health regarding transition issues.
On February 16, 2005, the Simcoe County District Health Unit Board of Health
received a detailed briefing on the proposed merger plan. We believe the
proposed plan respects and protects the needs and interests of our communities
while strengthening public health programrning within Simcoe County, including
the cities of Barrie and Orillia, and the District of Muskoka.
A resolution in support of the plan to merge the Muskoka District public health
programs and operations with the Simcoe County District Health Unit as outlined
in the Transition Steering Committee's merger plan submitted February 14, 2005
was passed by the Board of Health and forwarded to the Chief Medical Officer of
Health. A copy of the resolution is enclosed for your information.

Mrs. MariJyn Pennycook,
Clerk Oro-Medonte Township
Dear Mayor and Council:
As a taxpayer I am somewhat mystified by the letter of February 7, 2005, signed by Mayor Craig, and copied to members of
council refusing to disclose the percentage raises for management staff.
Since that time I have learned that most municipalities make the public aware by passing the salary increases in open public
session. While I1stening to the radio, I learned that Ramara's increase was 2%, Four municipal1ties in proximity to Oro-
Medonte readily provided their raises to be 3% across the board without mention of privacy legislation.
The information contained in the Mayor's letter of February 7, 2005 suggests that Oro,Medonte management staff received
raises in excess of 5%. This is well beyond other municipalities and far in excess of that determined for public sector
workers.
Council should be reminded that many residents, especially pensioners live on a fixed income. Where raises did occur they
were less than 2%. Pension funders and the Provincial Government make no hesitation in disclosing these raises, neither do
Boards of Education.
One wonders if the passing of management salaries "behind closed doors" and the use of privacy legislation by Oro-Medonte
Council are truly for the purpose of protecting employee confidentiality. They seem, to me, to enable those who are elected to
avoid accountability to the taxpayers who elected them and ultimately have to pay for these raises!
Mr. Mayor and Council, I am requesting that Oro-Medonte publicly release the percentage increase in salaries for
management staff in keeping with other municipalities. In addition, I am requesting an e.mail response from each member of
council giving his/her personal position on the public disclosure of management salaries and the increases given for the year
2004. My e-mail address is I2atand~.hJl..:;tin,g.<iJ'EmI1i!tico.".,!

Re: Management Salaries
Dear Ms. Hastings:
In response to your e-mail dated January 25, 2005, I offer the following information.
Your request relates to personal information as defined. in the Municipal Freedom of
Information and Protection of Privacy Act; therefore, we are responding to your inquiries in
accordance with the Act.
Please find attached, a chart indicating the various management positions along with the low
and high ends of the pay ranges. The Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act, 1996, requires the
disclosure of salaries for employees of public institutions who are paid $100,000 or more per
year. A listing of public sector employees making $100,000 or more per year is published
annually by the Provincial government.
Section 52(3) of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act states:
... this Act does not apply to records collected, prepared, maintained or used by or
on behalf of an institution in relation to any of the following:
1. Proceedings or anticipated proceedings before a court, tribunal or other entity
relating to labour relations or to the employment of a person by the institution.
2. Negotiations or anticipated negotiations relating to labour relations or to the
employment of a person by the institution between the institution and a person,
bargaining agent or party to a proceeding or an anticipated proceeding.
3. Meetings, consultations, discussions or communications about labour relations
or employment-related matters in which the institution has an interest.

Re: Management Salaries
Accordingly, your request for "the percentage raise increase for each management position" is
denied.
During the 2004 budget deliberations, Council appraved a $50,376.00 allocation for cost of
living and merit increases for management staff. Motion #19 of the December 1, 2004, Council
meeting approved increases of $43,078.00.
I trust this information adequately responds to your request.

Subject: Management Salaries
Dear Mayor and Council,
Motion # 19 of the Dec. I, 2004 Counci! meeting shows that Council adopted salary increases for Management employees
that have been made retroactive to January J. 2004.
This motion involves the spending of public funds. Surely the taxpayer should expect more infol111ation 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.
1 also request the total do])ar amount which wiJI be paid to these management employees retroactive to January 1,2004.
11 is evident /rom Motion # ] 9, December], 2004 that the information which I am requesting is readily available.
As we]), ! wou!d like to know why salary negotiations are not made prior to the setting of the budget for the fol1owing year,
rather than after the fact.
1 am forwarding a copy of this correspondence to all members of Council so that they are aware of this request for
information 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 infoffimtion or should there be a
delay of more than two weeks in preparing a response with the requested infonnation, please notify me . If it is more
convenient I can pick up the information at the Township Office.
Thank you for forwarding this infonnation at your earliest convenience.

Mr. Mayor and Oro-Medonte Council:
I wish to formally declare my objection to the By-Law No. 2005-0 I I regarding the sale of
Surplus Land.
I am in disbeliefthat the By-Law would have the wording "AND WHEREAS, Council has
received no notice of obiection to the proposed sale of land from anv party.
What did Council believe was the reason for squandering $180,000.00 ofthe taxpayer's money in
a court case if it was not in objection to the sale of the land?
What did Council believe all of the people who came before Council were saying if it was not in
objection to the sale of the land?
What did Council believe the last editorial in the Packet and Times to be saying when it called for
the township to give clear answers as to why this prime waterfront real estate was priced so
ridiculously low?
Why did a group of residents pack the Guthrie School Auditorium on this topic if it was not to
raise objection?
Once again here is a partial list of objections to why myself and the land of others wiIl be
prejudicially affected.
Everyone knows that Lake Simcoe is already in trouble. This land sale will add to that problem
because there are no provisions to protect the shoreline. The value of everyone's property is
affected by the health of Lake Simcoe. Surely Council is aware of this, and if not, should contact
the Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority to explain it. A lot of jobs depend on the health of Lake
Simcoe. Losing them will drive down property values.
Higher taxes prejudiciaIly impact on one's land. Land that is arguably worth one miIlion doIlars is
costing the taxpayers more than 180,000 to get rid of. Not obtaining full market value and
squandering vast sums of money to sell this land has the net effect of having to go to the
taxpayers for more than one million dollars. People whose fami lies have lived along the
lakeshore for generations are already being forced to move because of higher taxes.
These lands make up 25% of the publicly owned Lake Simcoe waterfront lands. Selling them
reduces the potential access. Reducing access to Lake Simcoe reduces land values.
When 1 read the statement in the by-law saying that no objectives have been voiced to the
proposed sale of the land from any party I realize that all the efforts that people have made have
faIlen on deaf ears. Can any of you honestly raise your hand as elected people who represent the
wishes of the people ofOro-Medonte and show that you truly believe that this precious non-
renewable lakefront property is surplus to the needs of the Township? Before vou raise your
hand remember it is whether you honestlv believe this land to be surplus that vou are voting on
and nothing etse.

Mr. Mayor and Council:
I wish to declare my objection to the By-Law No. 2005-011 regarding the sale of Surplus
Land.
The editorial in the Packet and Times" A bitter harvest of sand" pretty well says it all"
The sale of this land at such ridiculously low price has been a bad move by the Township
destroying our community. The terms of the sale will cause even more rifts among
landowners in Plan 709. With Justice O'Connell's ruling upheld means that anyone who
lives in Plan 709 have the same rights of access regardless of whether they join a
corporation and pay dues or not. This will add another layer of disagreement causing a
rift among backlot owners themselves. I have a friend who lived in Sugarbush who
likens this situation to the one that the Township created there. He moved from
Sugarbush because of the bitterness that this caused.
Who wants to live in a community where there is constant animosity among neighbours?
It drives down the price of properties.
Giving the waterfront owners privileges to construct docks along the waterfront will have
the same effect as legally cutting the backlot owners off from accessing most of the
waterfront. Any backlot owner attempting to exercise their rights to use the easement
along the lake will be made to feel that they are running the gauntlet. The natural
shoreline that they have enjoyed for generations will be infested with docks and concrete.
By selling the land the rights that go with my four lots will in reality be taken away. The
bitterness in the neighbourhood will be increased causing my property to be prejudicially
affected.
It is hard to understand how a Council back in 1929 and every council since that time
could so clearly see the future needs for recreational waterfront land and how the
majority of this Council with all the growth information especially after approving 400
more homes close to the area can be so shortsighted.
Perhaps the reason has to do with the fact that Township employees lived in the
community at the timeand truly valued the needs of future generations. The unelected
individual who seems to be driving this does not live in Oro-Medonte but lives in Barrie
where the city is acquiring all the waterfront possible to make it accessible to all.
