RECOGNITION OF ACHIEVEMENTS: b) Jim Woodford re: recipient of the "Ontario Nature Achievement Award" from Ontario Nature. I Medical Services for Oro-Medonte If we build it physicians will come Other communities have successfully attracted family physicians by providing a place for them to practice: Ingersoll, St Catherines, Elmvale... Barrie may be next. Oro-Medonte currently has received interest from TWO family physicians. An experienced general practitioner.. . A young FEMALE doctor who came here on a locum.. . All they need is a place to practice. Either will set up elsewhere if we can't find a home for them here. If that happens, there is no guarantee that residents of OM will have access to them - even if they were to relocate to Coldwater or Orillia. Why do we need a medical centre? There are no family physicians for people who relocate here. If your family doctor retires or moves away, you will likely not find another one - anywhere, There are TWO doctors who have expressed an interest in practicing in this township, That's TWO more than are available in any other community. Can we afford to let them walk away? Traveting outside of the township is not an option that is available to people who don't currently have a family physician. There are no doctors available anywtlere in Ihis area. When a new one does move into lhe area, they either are taking on a fonTlerphysidan'sfulleaseload.or.. If lhey do accept new patients the demand is so greal tIlallhey are force<:! to limit access to the residents of the immediate community. Oro-Medonte has demonstrated remarkable foresight and leadership in many areas . This is another opportunrty to stay one step ahead by acknowledging the inevitable (there will be no new doctors anytime soon) and acting rather than waiting. . We now have a fire hall, a police station and now the township is ready for medical services. 1 Why the Township's support is needed: Two-tier medical care is here: reference landmark ruling in Quebec two weeks ago. People who move here can't find a doctor. If you lose yours (retirement or relocation), you won't find another one, We cannot expect a family doctor to move into the area if there is no place for them to practice. The Township's support is needed - other municipalities are looking at various partnership options to build their own medical centre. We cannot afford to sit back and wait fOf the province to solve the doctor shortage crisis - especially when the trend is to download responsibility for an increasing number of services to municipalities. Population Dynamics beyond Oro-Medonte Baby boomers require more medical care Baby boomers are living longer Seniors/Retirees will represent the largest percentage of our of population and they will have significant medical needs Labour force shortage everywhere will be felt ten-fold in health care - fewer med school entrants, fewer physicians...but more patients High percentage of existing MO's will retire Where to locate a medical center in Oro-Medonte? uro-Medonte's growth rate and demographic profile make access to health care a necessity. An aging population means a huge burden on healthcare (if we think we're in trouble now, just wait) Oro-Medonte's demographic is already very senior The doctor shortage is currently felt by those who move here but with our increasing senior population - we'll all be feeling it very soon.

Today's physicians don't have time to run a business. Time spent on administration could be spent treating more patients. They need to be able to focus on what they do best and leave the administration to someone else. Other communities are helping provide medical services to their residents: let's explore how they are going about it. Why we need to consider this soon! A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush: we have interest from physicians right now. If we wait, we will lose them for sure and we cannot guarantee anyone else will come along. We are early now in the recruiting game if we can offer a medical facility/turn-key clinic Ingersoll - built a successful turn-key clinic. St. Catherines - built a turn-key clinic. If we wait, we'll lose out to other communities that are willing to take the initiative. What we're asking: That Council recognize that there is a serious doctor shortage and that any interest from a physician is a good (and rare) opportunity for the residents of Oro-Medonte. That Council consider helping build a medical facility to take advantage of current physician recruitment opportunities That Council hold a public forum to ask the residents of Oro-Medonte what they think Future of Health Care Patients are slow to adjust their expectations to the changes in the medical system . We all must take increasing responsibility for our own health - healthy lifestyle and prevention are the only prescnption available to many. Nurse practitioners or health care support people will playa much more important role Physicians will become a luxury, not a right Like attracts like: today's physician wants to work in a clinic environment. If we can bring in even one physician, our chances of attracting more will increase considerably. This will be an added benefit as Oro-Medonte's population grows. Summary Opportunity Foresight Leadership Action Let's make this a priority for Oro-Medonte! 3 \()c,-\ ORlLLIA PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD MINUTES OF MARCH ~O. 200!')

(Mission Statement from the Orillia Public Library Strategic Plan) In 2004 the Orillia Public Library laid the foundation for better service by putting the new Strategic Plan into action. by offering new and innovative programs and by offering more services on the website. The process to build a new library continued over the course of 2004. The firm of Carruthers Shaw and Partners were hired to do an architectural and urban planning study to investigate if a library of the appropriate size could be located on the Market Square. The Building Steering Committee met frequently and the highlight of the work that had been done was a very successful public meeting in October when the architects made it clear to those assembled that a library of the size needed could be built on the Market Block. Their report will be presented early in 2005. Many staff and library supporters have worked hard to make 2004 a successful year. The Friends of the Orillia Public Library raised money through memberships, an art raffle and the collection of grocery tapes. They purchased sets of encyclopedias and office equipment for the library and we are grateful for their generosity. We must also thank the Staff of the library for their dedication. Libraries continue to change and evolve to meet new needs and the library staff must also change and develop new skills. We thank the men and women who volunteer their time to serve on the Board of the Orillia Public Library. Their generosity in giving their time to govern and lead the library pays dividends for better library service. All the services that the Staff of the City of Orillia provides to the library are greatly appreciated. We must also thank the Council of the City of Orillia who express the wishes of the citizens of Orillia with their support of library service. We thank the many volunteers of the Orillia Public Library. The help that they give to support our everyday tasks help us to deliver better service. We depend on the media to help to spread the benefits of library service to the community and we thank the Packet and Times, the Orillia Today, Rogers Cable Television and Jack FM for helping to publicize our services and programs. We always appreciate the help, counsel and advice of the Southern Ontario Library Service that exists to support Ontario's Public Libraries and provides the transportation link that makes the lending of materials between libraries possible. We thank the Ministry of Culture and Recreation as well for their support. Spread the word! We thank all of the citizens who use the Orillia Public Library but we need your help to tell your friends, relatives and neighbours about us. Please make it a point to bring a friend with you when you visit the library. Michael V. Saddy CEO, Orillia Public Library - 5- \ ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF CHILDREN'S & AUDIOVISUAL SERVICES Children's Services staff continues to develop and customize library services for children and parents. Programs were changed and new programs added to reflect the changing needs of our users as part of the library's ongoing commitment to introducing and maintaining a positive and welcoming library experience. Community involvement provided our users with a wide variety of experiences from playing chess in the library to reading to dogs, as well as support for the Summer Reader's Club. EARLY YEARS PROGRAMMING AND SERVICES Quality programming focusing on language enrichment for children six years and under continues to be a cornerstone of Children's Services. Programs for this age group emphasize language development, pre-reading skills, and establishing a love of reading. Families have a primary role to play in establishing a love of reading. In support of family reading, Children's Services developed the Family Story time Drop-In on Saturday mornings. The program encourages families to participate together in a fun filled morning of stories. storytelling, story games, as well as rhymes and songs. To make it easier on families we have designed this program as a drop- in, making it flexible for families to attend as their schedules permit. The Summer Ready to Read program, was offered for the second time this summer. Program elements and support materials help parents and children work together on pre reading and early reading skills in a fun non-competitive environment. Participants include children in kindergarten, junior kindergarten, or entering kindergarten and are from 3-6 years of age. The number of story times presented this year by Children's Services staff increased from 153 in 2003 to 168 in 2004, a ten percent increase. COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP AND SUPPORT Therapeutic Dogs of Canada has started an innovative program to encourage children to practice reading aloud. We were approached by a representative from Therapeutic Dogs of Canada to bring their program "Paws to Read" to the library. The Children's Services staff felt it would be a great fit so we enthusiastically agreed to partner with Therapy Dogs of Canada by hosting the program in the library. The first "Paws to Read" program was held on April 17. Paws to Read is designed to improve the literacy skills of children using certified therapy dogs. The dog, the dog's handler and the child sit together while the child reads a book out loud to the dog. The handler is available to help with discreet prompts, if needed. Paws to Read is proving to be a very popular program with children, parents, and the dog owners. A number of the children have been in the program since the beginning and have shown significant improvement. One child hated reading and was reading well below grade level. The child is now reading, still below grade level but much more fluently and with enjoyment. The child's mother has told us that the enjoyment of reading continues at home. - 6- Mary McCooeye of the Simcoe County Chess Club approached the Children's Services Staff with a request to partner and offer a series of chess programs. The program was fully attended and helped kick-off Sunday openings as we offered it the first Sunday the library opened in October. The children had a great time learning to play chess, Mary McCooeye, from the Simcoe County Chess club used a wall mounted chess board and a lot of dramatic flair to explain to the children the history of the chess pieces as well as how they are used on the chess board. A second program was offered in conjunction with the Simcoe County Chess Club. We held a simuplay on Sunday November 14. Initial registration in the program was low. however on the day we had a large number of people drop in to play. The program drew people of all different age groups from eight year olds right up to adults. Cooperative programming was initiated in January with the Ontario Early Years Center. Monthly Library Story times are taken out to the Ontario Early Years Center. The programming partnership is enjoyed by the families and home daycare providers and children who visit the center. The program also provides us with an opportunity to promote library services to a different set of users. As part of our Summer Reader's Club, the summer student offered weekly programs to Central Preschool's Summer Camp and to Orillia Parks and Recreation 3-6 years of age day camp. Orillia businesses were enthusiastic and generous in their support of the Summer Reader's Club. A large number of both product and gift certificates was provided by Orillia businesses to be used as prizes for our Summer Reader's Club members. We would like to offer a big thank you to the following businesses who donated prizes: A & W, Apple Annie's, Arby's, The Bike Stop, Bird House Nature Co., Boston Pizza, Burger King, Canadian Tire, Dairy Queen, Domino's Pizza, East Side Mario's, Food Basics, Grand & Toy, Harvey's, IGA, Jack And Maddy's, Kelsey's, Kings Buffet, Lahay's Craft and Hobby, Little Caesar's Pizza, McDonalds, Manticore Books, Movie Warehouse, Mr. Sub (Downtown), National Grocers, New York Fries, Orillia Cinema 4, Pita Pit, Pizzaville, Quizno's, Radio Shack, Red Caboose, Shoppers Drug Mart, Staples, Subway (Memorial Ave), TD Bank, Wal-Mart, Webbers Downtown, Wendy's, Zehrs Markets, Zellers. SCHOOL AGE SERVICES Our commitment to quality and innovative literacy based programs and services continue with the programs and services we offer to school age children. School age children participated in our Saturday Explorers Club, a Saturday morning book and activity program, March Break programs, and the Summer Reader's Club. A primary emphasis of school age summer programming is to keep the children reading over the summer, we do this by offering a fun and innovative Summer Reader's Club. Our theme was "Fire Up Your Imagination: Dragons, Books, and Quests". This program went province wide and was once again sponsored by Toronto Dominion Bank and developed by the Toronto Public Library. Two hundred and eighty children enjoyed a summer of reading activities with a medieval theme. The children read and reported to children's staff members on 2493 books. As a result of their successful reading quest, they freed Princess Read-a-Lot and brought a new inhabitant to the Children's Department. We now have a baby dragon-alias-an albino gecko who the Reader's Club members named Princess Dragula. -7 - The number of school age and Saturday programs offered by Children's Services increased from sixty in 2003 to eighty-five in 2004. FINANCIAL SUPPORT The Friends of the Orillia Public Library, and The Orillia Good for Life Committee generously donated money to support the materials collections in Children's Services. A further donation of books was received through a program titled KidsRead Ontario/Lecturenfant Ontario. The program offers libraries the opportunity to choose from an on-line catalog of Canadian children and young adult books published between January 2002 and June 2004. We were given $650.00 to choose from the books in the catalog. Staff of the Orillia Toronto Dominion Bank raised money and donated it towards the purchase of shelving in the Children's Services Department. PERSONNEL We were once again successful in obtaining an eight week half-and-half Summer Career Placement Grant from the Federal Government. The grant money was used to hire a summer student in support of the Ready to Read Club and provide summer outreach programming for community groups. Two Early Childhood students from Georgian College each completed a four week placement in the spring. These students planned and implemented Preschool Stories, Tales for Twos and the Preschool Science Club and offered many fresh ideas for programming. AUDIOVISUAL SERVICES To accommodate the growing DVD collection we decided to weed out the cassette collection, as use of the collection has been declining and we stopped adding to the collection two years ago. New DVD shelving was purchased and we are now able to accommodate our DVD collection, at least for the short term. In March the library joined the Southern Ontario Library Service (SOLS) DVD Pool. Through this service we receive a new block of fifteen DVDs every 45 days. These DVDs have been very popular. often having the maximum number of circulations. Suzanne Campbell Director of Children's and Audio Visual Services - 8- \ - \ \ ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION SERVICES REACHING OUT Information Services continued to reach out to the community to establish their needs and promote services. Increasingly, the department's services have been accessed by means of our library home page and emaH, reflecting the change in how people are using libraries. This is the trend experienced by other public libraries in North America. More questions are being received via e-mail, but the public is still coming into the library, and requesting information using the traditional avenues of telephone or personal contact as well. More requests have been made by the public requesting guidance and training on the use of our databases and the techniques required to search the Internet. PROMOTION AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT Twenty-two adult programs were held during the year, including book talks by local authors, black history in Oro, genealogy, iridology. scrap booking and new perennials. Our Volunteer Coordinator helped organize the Volunteer Fair held at City Hall, which recruited new volunteers for the library, as well as for other community groups. In April, a thank you luncheon, with the theme, "You're the Magic" was held to thank our volunteers, and a Christmas Tea also celebrated their contributions to the library. The book club for adults, put together by our Reader's Advisory assistant, has been well-attended. The library partnered with the Leacock Museum and local authors to celebrate World Book day at the Opera House. The Director of Information Services was asked to assist in the rejuvenation of Information Orillia, by becoming a member of their board of directors. A coop student from ODCVI was trained by Information Services to create a database for its many local history photos. Funding was received from Casino Rama to purchase new Books on Tape for our seniors. -9- SERVICES Requests made at the Information Services desk have peaked and dipped throughout the year, ending up at approximately the same level as last year. 76 requests were made via email. Use of the online commercial databases to periodicals and newspapers increased dramatically when we were able to mount them on our homepage. Our index to articles in the Orillia newspapers and the births, deaths and marriages was made available to the public on a stand alone computer. Our collection in foreign languages was updated and expanded when the library joined the multilingual pool coordinated by the Southern Ontario Library System. Books and videos in Chinese, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian and Polish are rotated twice a year. Staff has begun shelf reading and pulling old materials for evaluation and weeding, to help overcrowding in the collection. 2003 2004 Reference Queries 23715 22821 Internet Use 21179 20808 Online Databases 2552 8034 Frost Scrapbook 656 796 ILL Borrowed 1556 1586 ILL Loaned 1808 2252 ProQrams 21 22 Community Outreach 143 150 Lynne Gibbon Director of Information Services -10- \ D - \~ REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF TECHNICAL SERVICES FOR THE YEAR 2004 For Technical Services the year 2004 can perhaps best be characterized as a year of self-examination and evolutionary change. Routines, practices and assumptions were discussed and examined, problems explored, and operations and services improved. CIRCULATION The Circulation Department implemented a more proactive method of processing overdue notices for patrons, producing them daily rather than weekly. These reminders reach patrons quicker, often lessening their late fees. New reserves lists are created daily, which improves retrieval and turnaround times for this service as well. At the same time. as a reflection of rising costs, the library increased late return charges for books, CDs and tapes by $.05, to $0.25 for adult materials and $0.15 for children's materials. This is the first increase since 1997. Service at the circulation desk was made a bit faster and quieter by the acquisition of new barcode scanners and thermal printers during the summer. In December, long awaited structural changes to the desk created an area where staff can sit to work. Overall borrowing declined in 2004 by 3.25% from the previous year, to about 254,000. Joyce Dempsey and her staff of Susan Murphy, Lucey Parolin. Maureen Watson, Patricia Hopkins and Jocelyn White are to be commended for their fine work and dedication during the year. TECHNICAL PROCESSING In January, Gail Matthews returned to work in Technical Processing full-time in January, after a medical absence of over a year. Much of her work was taken up by Kelly Smith, from the Children's Department. Kelly was able to grasp the new work quickly, and implemented a number of useful and innovative changes, such as on-line ordering and order tracking. Serials control was taken over by Gail Ward of Information Services, who ably maintained the magazine tracking and subscription management functions. Much heartfelt thanks to both Kelly and Gail for helping Susan Dance and Joyce Keddy to keep Technical Processing operations going so smoothly. Gail Matthews was soon able to get up to speed and incorporate very quickly the changes we had made. The department also looked at a number of processing practices and routines, and made changes in how materials were labelled and stamped. We also acquired more colourful genre labels and "new book" stars, and began tracking usage of block loan books and DVDs. Several collection management projects were implemented in 2004 as well. A major effort began to clear the catalogue of references to items we no longer have, removing items listed as "lost", "missing" or "reorder review". I continued clearing the fiction collection of little-used and worn-out books. In September Kelly Smith was hired to carry out several projects for us. She physically separated the Science Fiction and Fantasy hardcover collections, re-Iabelling and reclassifying them as required. Kelly also began the huge task of reclassifying older music CDs from Dewey Decimal Classification to the newer genre classification. This will be finished in 2005. -11- \ - I Susan Dance and Gail Matthews were able to add a large number of donated materials and government documents to the collection during the year. Susan also moved a number of Orilliana materials to the Stacks storage area. Overall, Technical Processing added 7700 new items to the collection, most of them. over 7000, being books. At the same time, 6800 items were withdrawn. Joyce Keddy repaired 1617 books and other materials during the year. I would like to thank Gail Matthews, Susan Dance and Joyce Keddy for their fine work and dedication during the year. SYSTEMS Our ongoing computer upgrade programme continued in 2004 as well. New staff and public computers and equipment were acquired in June, including a new network printer and new OPACs for Geoweb. In order to improve security after a number problems with the public computers, our network was segmented into two separate parts, for public and staff, by Fred Marlow, city IT staff, and their consultants. In July, we re-organized the computer room, to make use of a server cabinet acquired for us by Joyce and Kent Dempsey. This freed up a little space in an area that was becoming quite crowded. Staff created some new item locations and statuses in the Geac Advance system to help keep better track of materials in the library. I would like to give much thanks to Fred Marlow for his dedication and fine work in keeping our networks and equipment up and running. Technical Services expects to maintain these trends as a process of continuous self-improvement, in order to better attune its services to the present and evolving needs of our users.

Fernandes provided an updated on behalf of the Fire Suppression Sub- Committee. G. Femandes noted that the Sub-Committee has worked diligently to broker a solution that is amicable to all parties involved and that upon completing it's research over a period of two months, it has become clear that a Fire Suppression System is not what is required, but rather a Fire Protection Plan, which may include a form of fire suppression. A third party, independent fire consulting professional will support the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport in providing an effective solution to this issue. Staff Report 2005-ACSR-02 was distributed which recommended that a Fire Safety Consulting Firm be retained to facilitate such a solution. M.
