Your llonour Mayor Craig, and Esteemed OJunci/lors
REQUEST or SEVElUNCE - on Lot 2 Ea.~t %, Cone. 5, 100 Acre,~, (Rural) Oro-Medonte
Located approximaJely 2000 ed south off Horseshoe Valle:;/' Rtf., on the 5'" Line of Oro
Reason.. fo, th;.. reque.d: (It has he"" recommended that we m<<ke this deputrJliqn)
a} To acquire year round safe access to our property, and obtain bui/cling permits
b} 112 order to achieve thl." we have been advi.,ed Ihat we may haw to meet stringelltcriteria
of possible cost sharlngfor road upgrades to appr(J)..imately 2500' on Line 5-01'0.
CJ Though we CQuld then obtain (I) building perT/llt and (/J allowable severance with an
additiowl buildingpermit. Slich criteria would be cost prohibitive for (2) Building Lots.
d) WE ARE THEREFORE REQUESI1NG (per sk<!lch attached) 4,.:~5 Acre building
!E!!:J. (ro perhaps help offiel any co.<t-sharing expenses, if they were applied to us)
e) Unlike ather properties. we are the Fost % of a lot. and Iherefore land-lacked with NO
a/Jernate access to our land. (,ee Conclusion/Summary)
j) Our property is OUTSIDE the boundary of the restricted Horseshoe Valley Rd. Special
Pollcy Area.
Historv: (we wilt try to colZdense au' 2.5 year., with Ora)
In appr(IXJmntely 1980, The SIIWala Family decided to become fullIime 01'0 residents and
purchased property. Later, mid-1988, a 100 acre rural parcel was brought to our attention
on Line 5, JU-Yt south of County Rd. 22/Horseshoe 'Valley Rd. Wlw/J ,.ewing it, we noticed a
small sign at Horsesho€ Valley Rd., "no winter maimemmcc ", A.v the property interested us,
Mrs. Suwala .contacted the Clerk's office and wa~ told thot butlding permits could be issued.
the road then mamtained all-year, and school buses travel there if required.
I then personally met with Reeve Drury in his office the following cia>: whereby he further
confirmed qnd0Jsured me that indeed they would issue building permits whenever we were
ready, without any conditionv or lime comtra/nt, they would then mamtain that road, year-
round a,1d schaal bus and garbage collectton would be available. We were welcomed to Oro.
*Based on tho..e assurallCR:S; we purchased this co.wly, beallliful parcel the next day. We felt IZO
/fad to make a "co",111ional" offer, av we had b""IZ fully .vati.fjietl at 1J.e highll$J [;"",/$ at the Town.
In the 90 's we made inquiries about obtaining a building permit ant/were then given cliffinnr
InformatiDn. Mr. Fred Haughton. Public Works Supervisor stated that some cost shG11ng, for
gravel to upgrade the road approx: 2500- to 3.000 feet, may be 01.11' respon.vibility. Siflce
then, after several inquiries to date, we k(J"Ve bUll unable. to discern from anyone at Ora-
Melionte Tqwnship, approximately what fho.~e cosfs may be, Dr if ill fact, an.v co.</ would be
applicable to our circumstance. Con/'J

In June 1996, we approached Council requesting year-round MUnicipal1l!0itztenal1Ce an
approx: 2500' oj Line 5, south of Horseshoe Valley Rd to ollr land.. Our reqllest was denied.
1n November 1996, we requested to Council, fhat ..omefl""ibility be written int() the
revisionsJ()r Transportation Policies G2.4.1 OPA (N()n-winter /ttIJinlained roads), to allow
for UftUsual or exceptional situatio"s an existing landowner may have. Request was denied
Tn ."me 2003, we agamformally requested to The Mayor and Council, their reconslderatton
to maintqjn qppY()x: 2500 ft. oj Line 5, year round to allow us permits to b~f/d. wilho~t cost-
burden to us jor that road upgrade!mainte/U1nce. We UJtder,~tand thi~ can be done t the
Municipctlity determtne that the time. or circumstances have ecome appropriate to do so.
Our request was denied
. We had also a~lred C01J.JWil w offer us SOmR pm posed solu1iom to our tblemma.
. We've been c011.1istent in trying to find a way to utilize our landfor our il1tendedpurpose.
We are therefore here today with this request for: 4. 25 ACRE Lots. from our 100 acres.
We are coIWcimtious landowners al1d Ora residents, not speculators, builders or developers.
We have done extemive work to our lalld to tmprove the 110tural environme11t.
We have Invested very significantly f/1 Oro slIWe 1980,
We have been exCt!ptional s(ewards of the land, wtldlife and (he envtronment in Ora.
We have paid substontialtau.~ to Oro-Medonte for approximately 25 years.
We have lost, and buried our c/oses(family members in Oro cenletenes.
We hove oonsidered Ora our home for almost a quarrer-<:entury.
In trying to find a solunon to the obstacles the Municipality ha. perhaps placed
before us for this: significant Oro illve,.tment; we are reque..ting thi. Set'eTance of'
4,25 Acre, cOllniry-e.mde Building Lots, each having approximately 500'frontage
on Line 5, and a depih into the woods of approximoJely 1.,000'
,
Reasons for relfUe!iting 4, 25 Acre lots:
1) If the fWssibility of any cost-sl1Oring obligations for road upgrades are applied to us;
(FOUR, 25 acre BUILDING LOTS) would be the very minimum number of lots, that may
makE any cost-sharing viable. Two building lots could not support any .wggesrad added costs.
2) The ,~oil/topography easily supports 4, 25 Acre Estate parcels. lor sepric and drainage.
3) These large acreages would have absolutely NO negative impact visually,
environmentally or aesthetically on the beautiful scenery and terrain.
4) TJwse large acreages would allO>t, for eligibilityfor "Managed Forest" Plan~
(Further assuring sound forestry, wildlife and ecology practices and protection)
5) These large acreages allow contiguous forests across the rear ojthe lots, and when
combined with land~ adjacent to tlw north, west and south: maintain Ora's beauty.
6) Each 25 acre parcel is manageable. for good Forest Steward~hip and wildlife habitat.

7) TJwugh even I11()fe lots may be more Vlablefor our family; we aI'e CO/1cemed 10 retain rhe
existing beauty, proiect the environment, Wildlije, Oro serenene.rs, and that quality of life.
8) We are saddened at tM congestion, spoilage, golf courses. fertilizerJi and pollutants In all
The HorseshOE de-velopments; we do nol wish 10 create any adversefea1ures whatsoever.
9) We The owner/ taxpayer fbr 17 years, Nt.ED and deserve to be able to utilise our land as

10) Aroum/ J 980 we were unable to find any remore, wooded 25 or 50 acre parcels in Ora.
That siZe was desirable then, and more so now; U/tfpoiled and W1ftOliceable on country

1 I) Not everyone wi.l'hes ro r<!side in congested subdivisions .rurrounded by pavement and

12) 25 Acres may attract environmentally .semltive people who value privacy, nature/wUdlift;.
J 3) These lots, lilrely with upscale homes, could generate strong additiO/wI tax revenues for
Oro-Medonte (rather tlwn the currellt vacanJ .,tatl<,)
14) 25 Acres may encourage sugarbush. ginseng. wildflower gardens. wildlife habitJ:lt, forest
management and conservation activities; sound oldfashlOned rumlllfestyle.

J 6) Natural Gas lines ore wifhin 2000 feet of our property line,

19) Four lots, (rather than 2) <100 thost( addltlo/lal homes with fhat added fax base, makes
year round road maintenance justified. feasible and economically sensible.
20) This parcel is prime residential land located in thl!' cenJer of a wry popular recreational

We respectfully and officially ask agllin, for a reply in writing to tlte following quesJions.
1. Will tk MIlI1icipabty provick year-rQlmd road maintenance approximately 2500 fi; on Line 5,
to OtIr land as we had bem origmallyassured, withoutftnancial-coM to us? If not, why /1t)t?
2. Will the Munlcipaltty grant 1/09 Q single severance and building permits without financial
obligatio>>.r to us, for road upgrades? If not, why not? We have been constant taxpayers.
3. If tk above options are not gran/eel. will the Municipaltiy then promptly advise u.r in writing,
what cnTerta they requtre, or what cost to U,V, in order thar we may immediately aquire the
severances and building permits we request.
4. Does the Municipality understand the po.vltion we have been placed in: having purchased land
bayed on cerTain a.~suran()e.q from the Municipality, later to be told otherwise.
(No family would t!W!r purchase a rural, residential prOperTy if told that road upgrades 111 their
own expense would be required to obtain a permit to build)
5. Will the Ml!"icipali~v therefore approve th!!"p'roposed seve:rancefor: 4,25 Acre building lots
and buildiltK permita for each of them ---'-.- .----.
In Condusion/Summary:
Our situation seems to be unUjue, with special circumstances. Line 5 is a Concession Rd.
Our request today for SEVERANCE for FOllR 25 Acre BVIWING LOTS em our JOO Acres, is
the re.vult of our previously failed attempts to hcr.'e an affirmative response from The
MW1icipallty to our formal reque$ts for year rou nd malntelwnce on approximately 2500 feet of
Line';, without ca.,( to us, and sub.veqllenr issuance ofpermUs to build on our land. .AII denied.
Secondly and very ~-jgnificantly; we have no pos..ibility to joint """t",e or cost-share with
neighbouring landowf/ers on Line 5, a.. they each already have alternate, and full access to
their land and hQ11I!!...We conversely, hllVe NO al/eTftl1le aptio'!s and are unique.

Mayor and Members of Council
Township of Oro-Medonte
Box 100, Oro-Medonte ON LOL 2XO
Attn: Clerk's Department
I would like to request that Council consider implementing an "Adopt-A-Road"
program, similar to that already present in Simcoe County. I am specifically
interested in adopting Line 6 North between Moonstone and Mt. St. Louis Road.
Since we have moved into Oro-Medonte in 1999, my husband and I have
personally worked on an ongoing basis to keep Line 6 N free of trash. Most of
the items we pick up are beer and liquor bottles, fast food wrappers and
beverage containers, cigarette packages, and other waste that has clearly not
blown in from local households. Occasionally someone will dump garbage bags
or bags of compost materials. We do the cleanup because we are proud of
where we live and we do not want road waste material leaving an implied
message that this is acceptable in our community.
Since the inception of the two-bag garbage limit this year, I am uncertain that we
will still be able to incorporate the volume of road material into our household
waste and meet the two-bag limit. (We fully support the two bag limit, incidently.)
Simcoe County will provide free garbage pickup twice a year for the roads
adopted; they ask for notice to arrange for the pickup. I am asking for similar
support from Oro-Medonte.
If it would be convenient, I would like to be called when the matter is brought
before Council so that I may make a deputation. I can be reached at 835-2179,
or an e-mail canbesenttomeatthe.malloys@sympatico.ca.
Thank you for your consideration of my request.

6.3 Fundraising Committee - Oz Parsons, Chairman
O. Parsons distributed a draft of a letter to be used for a direct mail
campaign targeted to fundraising for the Large Print collection. The
cost for this campaign could be covered out of the Library's reserve
fund. G.A. Walker asked if we could send them out by using bulk mail
so that everyone in the community gets one and we save money. It was
felt that the campaign would be far more successful if we target our
own patrons. B. Molesworth will work with O. Parsons on final
wording of the letter and then a mailing list will be printed for Staff to
screen for demographics before they are sent out.
B. Molesworth reported on the] 250' anniversary reading series.
Jane Urquhart will read on Sunday, July 17th with a reception to follow.
Roger Bell and John Lee will read on the Tuesday and Thursday
evenings and Richard Wright will come on Saturday, the 2}rd He has not
specifically agreed to participate in a reception but will be approached
to do so. One more author will be asked to read on the Wednesday
evening All readings will be at the NSSRC.
The Committee is discussing prices The idea is to price the individual
readings somewhat high but to offer a series ticket at about half the total
of individual tickets, so the series price is seen as a bargain. This would
encourage people to come to the readings of the less well-known people.
6.4 Policy Committee - R. Allard, Chairman
The Committee met on March 3,d and discussed a new Internet Policy.
They reviewed samples from other libraries and have extrapolated a
draft which is still being worked on. There are a lot of grey areas
surrounding certain types of use of the Internet workstations
Differentiating between various communication forms like e-mail and
instant messaging is difficult A lively and at times heated debate ensued
on the topic of the Library's role in Internet services. 0 Parsons raised
the question as to whether a Board meeting was the right forum for this
discussion and suggested that the Committee finish the Internet Policy

Dear Mayor Craig:
Thank you for your letter providing me with a copy of council's resolution regarding
volunteer firefighters. Council's concerns are important to me,
Our government recognizes that Ontario's dedicated firefighters are the backbone of
safety and security within our communities. We admire their courage and know their
services are crucial: they put their lives on the line each and every day to protect the
public. We also realize that volunteer firefighters are essential to the provision of quality
fire services in many Ontario communities.
I appreciate the issues you raised. As they would best be addressed by the Honourable
Monte Kwinter, Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, I have passed
along a copy of your correspondence to him so he can respond to you directly. I am
confident the minister's response will shed more light on your specific concerns.
Thanks again for writing. Your input on any provincial issue is always welcome. My
colleagues and I look forward to continuing to work with you and your fellow Ontarians
to meet your priorities and deliver the results you deserve.
Yours truly,

Dear Premier McGuinty:
The Corporation of the Town of Midland has solicited the Township of Oro-Medonte's support
of their request to enac11egislation to protect employment rights of the "double hatter" fire
fighters.
Oro-Medonte's Council is aware that volunteer firefighters have been the foundation of
firefighting in Ontario communities and they provide a valuable, cost-effective service in
protecting their communities.
We are also in agreement that many career fire fighters who have chosen to serve as
Volunteer Fire Fighters in their home communities playa vital role in the areas of leadership
and training.
Please find attached correspondence dated June 27, 2002 in which the Township petitioned
Garfield Dunlop, MPP and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario on this issue.
On behalf of Council of the Township, I would therefore respectfully request that you give
favourable consideration to the introduction of legislation that would enable these public
servants to pursue their career and volunteer service objectives.
Yours truly,

Dear Mr. Dunlop:
Re: Volunteer Firefighters Protection BiIJ 30
As you are aware, the Township ofOro-Medonte depends heavily on volunteer firefighters to
protect our citizens and to provide emergency service. Our ratepayers are fortunate in the
commitment ofthe individuals who fOIm the firefighter protection team in the Township.
11 has come to the attention of Co unci] that there is a question looming with respect to "two-
hatters". Many rural commlU1ities, who are indebted to volunteers to fill the complement of
firefighter staff as Oro-Medonte is, would find it prohibitively expensive to replace these
volunteers with fuJI-time firefighters. The expertise and leadership qualities currently present
would also be lost ifthe Township were to Jose the vollU1teers currently in place.
For the above reasons, the Township ofOro-Medonte endorses AMO's position in support of
Bm 30 which, if passed, would not allow uruons to discipline, decline membership, or refuse to
provide representation to anyone of their members who is employed on a saJaried basis by a fire
department soleJy because the member aJso works as a volunteer firefighter.
Your support of Bm 30 is petitioned and your consideration ofthis matter i,2,appreciated.

Council Request from Warminster CAO
Soccer Club for "Lining"
C.ofW. of Soccer Fields (Richlieu Date:
Park) Mav 3 2005
Motion R.M. File #:
#
Date: Roll #:
TOWNSHIP OF ORO-MEDONTE
REPORT
II BACKGROUND: II
It was recommended by Council, at a Committee of the Whole Meeting of April 2yth,
2005 that staff prepare a report with respect to Miss. Doughty request (attachment #1)
for the Township to continue "lining" the soccer fields at Richlieu Park (Attachment #2).
Prior to the beginning of the 2004 Soccer season, the Warminster Soccer Club was
using Richlieu Park at no cost. In lieu of this agreement, the club was responsible to
have volunteers, "line" the fields once a week and also supply the "lime". At the end of
the 2003 season, the Club asked staff if the Township could assist in lining the field for
2004 season, given that the lining is done during the day and it was difficult for the
club to recruit volunteers. Staff accommodated the Club's needs.
II ANALYSIS:
~
During the 2005 budget compilation staff reviewed services to determine effectiveness
and consistency of service delivery throughout the municipality. The cost associated
with the provisions of parks maintenance, user fees and in kind contributions by
volunteers, specifically related to soccer activities in the municipality were also
analyzed.
Included in the analysis was a review of the 2004 budget actual. The budget
allocation for 2004 was $ 7,400.00 and the actual realized was $ 9,108.00, attachment
#3. In an effort to meet Council's objective, staff recommended that $ 4,000.00 dollars
be allocated for each soccer location.
To determine the ramifications of the recommendation a dollar value was placed in
regards to the cost for the Township to line the fields on a season basis which was
estimated at a cost of $ 1,600.00 dollars;
2 men X 3hrs = 6 hrs X 17.69 = 106.14
41 % overhead = 43.52
1 hr truck rental = 10.00
159.66 X 10 = 1,600.00
It was suggested that the volunteers could be requested to line the fields to realize the
saving and provide the same level of service throughout the municipality. The
recommendation was made to Council during budget deliberations and the Warminster
Soccer League was advised of Council's decision.
The capital improvements approved to the site in the last ten years was $ 44,800.00,
for upgrades to the leveling of the park and upgrades to the entrance and the parking
lot.
The port-a-potties are at a cost of $ 300.00 per unit per season, staff will be placing an
extra unit on site this season.
II RECOMMENDATION(S):
II
1. THAT Report number PR 2005-03 be received.
2. THAT the Warminster Soccer Club be advised of Council's decision.
Respectfully submitted,

Mayor Craig and Counsellors,
Warrninster Soccer League is a non-competitive league that has been running for over ten years. Our
league has a good reputation and with over 550 children registered this year we are looking forward to
another fun season.
With the OMHA rules that exist our children play hockey in Coldwater (Severn) or Orillia. They also
play baseba1l and t-ba1l in Coldwater or OriIlia. For other sports many pay the user fee and go to
OriIlia. With the busy schedules of families and price of gas today, we take our children to activities
that are close to home so any programmes that are run by the Parks & Rec. department out of the
Guthrie Arena are just not an option. Most of our players live in the Township of Oro-Medonte. We
would like to ask what the township offers the children in our community. What is going to make them
want to stay and raise their children here?
We have not asked for much from the township in the past. We ask for the grass to be cut on Tuesdays
so it is in good shape for playing, but if we were not using the field you would stilI have to cut the
grass. We ask for a few garbage barrels and for them to be emptied weekly (saving the township
picking up litter everywhere), and while we would like more than two, the township puts two port-a-
potties in the 'park' for the 1500 people we have in the field each week.
Other than that we run pretty smoothly without asking too much of the township. Ifwe find any large
rocks in the field, the township has come and removed them. But leaving them is a liability should
someone fa1l and get hurt. We were told the field would be top-dressed this year, and that has since
changed as it is not in the budget, so we understand and just keep our eyes open for problem spots that
may arise.
For the past two years the Township has generously lined our fields for us and we appreciate this very
much. This year we were told it was not in the budget so they would no longer be able to do it. We
understand this completely so we asked how much it would cost if we were to pay for it. We were
quoted a figure of$160 per time plus we would have to supply the lime (which we have done in the past
years). Our season is ten weeks long and when you do the math, this figure seems rather high to us.
Stop and think about it. At the very most it may take two people three hours to line the fields. But this
is if they are trying to stretch out the time and make lot of money at it. So, $160 is more than
$251hour Iperson. We are trying to keep our league affordable to the children. It is for the children that
we volunteer our time to keep this organization running. Our league gives them healthy social
interaction as well as helping to keep them physically fit so we would like to ask if you could please
reconsider this figure and see if we can't arrive at one that our league can afford as well as covering your
costs.
Remember it is for the children. It is not a business we are running, but an organization run by
volunteers giving of there time for the children. We arc giving of ourselves to keep the children happy
and healthy. Can you help us reach our goal?

Dear Mr. Knox:
Thanks for forwarding the Draft Terms of Reference for the Audit Committee. Both Dennis Wright
and I have reviewed the draft and havc the following comments for your consideration.
Public corporations are moving towards having their Audit Committees composed of "outside"
directors, who are not officers or employees of the corporation. With the County, you might want to
consider having a non-elected person as a member of the committee. The purpose of this is to add to
the transparency of the Audit Committee. However, this is not yet a common practice in Ontario with
municipal corporations.
Under item 5, "Responsibilities", there is no specific mention of the responsibility for reviewing
internal interim financial reports and taking responsibility for what financial information will be
provided to Council during the year.
Also under item 5, there is a reference in 5.3 to "Audit Services". This appears to refer to an intemal
audit function within the County. To our knowledge such a function does not yet exist.
Overall, both Dennis and 1 thought the document was very we11 written and quite comprehensive in
deaHng with the functionaJity of thc Audit Committee. We wou(d be pleased to attend the sub-
committee meeting on March 10, 2005 to discuss any issues members may have.
Y OUTS truly.
Collins Barrow Kawarthas LLP

Moved by Councillor Hildreth
Seconded by Councillor Zimmerrnan
\
WHEREAS The Ontario Federation of Agriculture has called on the
Provincial and Federal Governments to act in order to solve the problem
of farm viability; and'
WHEREAS many issues that promote farm financial uncertainty are as a
result of arbitrary changes to farm safety net programs by the Provincial
and Federal Governments; and
WHEREAS many more as yet unclear regulatory and administrative rules
and requirements have the potential to be cost prohibitive and
unworkable; and
WHEREAS programs supporting long standing rural infrastructure have
been eliminated or reduced;
THEREFORE be it resolved that the Regional Municipality of Niagara
recognize the real threat to the long term viability of Ontario farmers and
request that the governments of Ontario and of Canada to;
a. ensure that the implementation and application of nutrient
management rules are done in a way that addresses the concerns the
farm community has repeatedly raised.
b. Recognize that environmental benefits provided by farmers offset any
need for administrative charges on water taking permits.
c. Restore confidence of government/farmer partnership by re-
establishing long-term investment in drainage infrastructure.
d. Immediately implement an action plan to address the farm income
crisis.
And further be it resolved that this resolution be circulated to all
municipalities in Ontario, all members of Parliament in Ontario, all
members of Provincial Parliament and to the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture, requesting their support and further that the municipalities that
endorse this resolution ask their local Ontario Federation of Agriculture
Committees to do the same.
Carried.
