MEDICAL STUDENT & RESIDENT TRAINING
The medicat student/resident training program is one of our key initiatives and vim! to physician
recruitment for our area. Since the beginning of the 2005 year there has been an extensive list of
students and residents teaming within our community in all speciatties. The Task Force has had great
success in reaching out to medical studeuts and residents via the P AIRO Health Professionals
Recruitment Tour (see below).
The P AIRO Underserviced Area Health
Professionals recruitment tour is a key
element of our physician recruitment
program. From September 24 - 29,
representatives from the Task Force
travelled to the five Ontario Medical
Schoots to speak with medical students,
residents and practicing physicians
about the opportunities in our
community. Banners, showing the
amenities of the City of Barrie, t
Township of Oro-Medonte, Township
of Springwater and Town ofInnisfil,
were proudly displayed at the Task
Force's booth.
Our representatives at the tour spoke
with 200+ medical students, residents
and practicing physicians. We chatted
with a significant number of
international medical graduates (IMGs),
who were currenrly training at onc of
the five sites. There has been a push to
license highly qualified IMGs in the
province and we are just starting to see
the results.
All candidates are currently being
tracked and encouraged to took at our
community as a potential place to
practice.
To date in 2005, the Task Force has brought in 39 trainees to the community in all specialties.

(b) Murrav Brown
The Director, Watershed Management addressed recent correspondence received
from Mr. Brown as well at the Authority's response which was included with the agenda.
The Director, Watershed Management provided the Board with the background
information relating to the continuous flow of correspondence from Mr. Brown, which
consistently deals with a request from Mr. Brown to revoke a permit issued to build an
outfall for a tile drain. It is the opinion of staff that there is no justification to revoke this
permit and Mr. Brown has been advised of this when responding to his various letters.
However, another concern of Mr. Brown's is that the landowner subsequently put in a
culvert without a permit. The LSRCA has no record of this application orthat a permit
was issued for this work. Mr. Brown is currently pursuing the proper avenues to
address this issue. As the culvert was put in place several years ago, the LSRCA has
no legal recourse to request removal.
Staff have invited Mr. Brown to the LSRCA Office to review the documents on hand
however, to date, Mr. Brown has not done so. There is no further information to provide
Mr. Brown in response to the letters he continues to submit.

The Manager, Watershed Science responded that development which has been legally
approved in the Official Plan is exempt however there are still some issues related to
water and sewage servicing.
The Manager further advised that any proposed development outside of what is
currently in the Official Plan where servicing is not available, Authority staff are following
the Provincial approach until such time as the ACS are complete. This does not close
the door on the proposed development however, it indicates to the proponent to
proceed with caution as the development mayor may not be approved.
Mayor Taylor referenced the Intensification Guideline and recommended that staff be
as stringent as possible when commenting on proposed development.

Mayor Shier requested that the Board endorse the recommendations of the Expert
Panel rather than simply receiving the report for information.
The Director suggested that the Board endorse the position of Conservation Ontario
which subsequently endorses the recommendations of the Expert Panel with
conditions.
Mayor Shier advised that if the recommendations outlined by the Expert Panel were
to be endorsed it would have a positive impact on the Township of Brock where this
product is greatly used. Damage is being noticed in areas where the product is being
stored over long periods of time. Mayor Shier pointed out that o,ne of the
recommendations from the Expert Panel is that areas not be used as storage for the
product and this would solve many of the problems in the Township of Brock.
Mayor Shier expressed the importance for the Board to do something more positive
than just receiving the report of the Expert Panel.

Re: 3rd Line N. between Horseshoe Vallev Road and Hiahland Drive
Mayor Craig and Members of Council:
As you are aware, this Association represents a significant community within this municipality. From
time to time, the Association involves itself with issues which it deems to be important to the welfare of
the community and the municipality. In discussion with municipal officials, it has been our
understanding that improvements to the above captioned roadway are contingent upon contributions
from future phases of the Laurel View development.
We consider this to be an inadequate timeframe for dealing with the obvious deficiencies in this
roadway. The deficiencies can be characterized briefly as follows: Substantial erosion of the
shoulders along much of the roadway seemingly caused by failure to properly grade the road section;
many areas where the pavement edges are crumbling and subject to deep pot-holes encroaching onto
the driven portion of the roadway; broken pavement apparently the result of maintenance deferred for
many years; pavement and shoulder width that may fall short of the municipality's municipal
standards; lack of sight triangles at the intersection with Horseshoe Valley Road; sight obstructions
and inadequate turning radius at the ninety degree turn. We appreciate that many difficulties with this
roadway may be due to its existence as a forced road lacking adequate original construction specs.
While we appreciate the new yellow line, we believe that this is an inadequate response to the
deficiencies noted above, and that these deficiencies constitute an issue of Public Safety. Council
should also be aware of the potential liability issues that may arise if this situation is not addressed.
We would like to discuss with Council how the works can be expedited to bring this roadway to an
acceptabie standard and incorporate such works into its Capitai Budget. Areas of discussion may
include a review of the Background Study required under the Development Charges Act.
This Association has appreciated Council's willingness to discuss and resolve issues of concern in the
past, and we look forward to a positive response. The Association's Executive requests the
opportunity to appear before Council when it deals with this correspondence.
Yours truly,

Dear Mayor Craig:
The Honourable John Gerretsen, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, forwarded to me your
letter about liability insurance for trail clubs and associations.
My ministry, the newly created Ministry of Health Promotion, is the provincial lead ministry for trails.
I can assure you that I value the health and economic benefits of trails in Ontario. I also recognize
the generous contribution of trail volunteers, landowners and not-for-profit organizations in the
development and maintenance of trails. My ministry is developing an Ontario Trails Strategy with
input from Ontarians across the province on various trail issues, including liability concerns. Your
comments will be given serious consideration along with the feedback that has been received from
the consultation process.
You can find more information about the development of the Ontario Trails Strategy at
www.gov.on.ca/MBS/english/governmentlminOverviews/hpr.html. by clicking on Sport and
Recreation Branch, then Recreation, and then Ontario Trails Strategy.
As this matter would also be of interest to my Cabinet colleague, the Honourable Michael Bryant,
Attorney General of Ontario, who has responsibility for the Occupiers Liability Act, I am forwarding a
copy of your letter to him, for his information.
Once again, I appreciate this opportunity to read your views.

Dear Minister Gerretsen and Minister Bradley:
The Township of Oro-Medonte owns a multi-use RailTrail which is approximately 28 kilometers
long from Woodland Drive at the City of Orillia border to Penetanguishene Road at the City of
Barrie border. Activities permitted on the RailTrail include hiking, walking, bicycling, cross-country
skiing and snowmobiling (with valid OFSC permit).
The Council of The City of Cambridge has solicited the Township of Oro-Medonte's support of their
request to the Minister of Municipal Affairs & Housing and the Minister of Tourism & Recreation to
amend the Occupiers Liability Act so as to clearly establish that those using trail systems are
deemed to do so at their own risk to ensure that owners and volunteer organizations will not be held
liable in any way for any damages arising from the use of trails by the public.
Oro-Medonte's Council has invested substantial public funds in the development of the RailTrail
and the public has made significant use of the RailTrail for fitness and recreation to improve their
quality of life.
The requested amendment of the Act would ensure continued use of this valuable resource
unimpeded by liability issues.
Therefore, on behalf of Council of the Township, I would respectfully request that you give
favourable consideration to this recommendation.
Yours truly.
.-P

6.1 Finance Committee - Art CampheD, Chairman
A. Campbell distributed a Financial Statement to the end of May 2005.
The budget line called 'Program Costs" is noted as already being over
budget. B. Molesworth will investigate with the Town of Midland
Finance Department. All other aspects of the Budget appear to be
on taf'get.
6.1.1 Air Conditioning
B. Molesworth reported on a problem with cooling the office on
The second floor that houses two large computer servers. These units
produce a lot of heat and, even with the central air-conditioning
running, the office temperature is about 80oF. On cooler days in
the summer, when we may want to turn the air-conditioning off
to save energy and money it becomes intolerable for the person that
works in that office and the servers are in danger of over-heating.
B Molesworth has been investigating various alternative
air-conditioning options for this room, however, some quotes are as
high as $3,000.00. There are some cheaper single unit models which
he is still investigating. After a thorough discussion, the following
motion was presented.
Moved by: A. Wilkes
Seconded by: A. Campbell
That B. Molesworth pursue a solution to the air-conditioning problem in the
2nd floor server room at a cost not to exceed $1,000.00.

mailed out, approximately 180 were returned as undeliverable and we
have had 6 positive responses with donations. O. Parsons was pleased
with their response. Rates of response are usually between. 7% and 5%,
more often at the lower end. There may still be more to come in although
there probably won't be anymore after the end of June. A response of
1.5% would be great.

6.4 Policy Committee
C. Moore reported on the recent activity of the Committee. They
continue to move forward with a new operating Policy. One item of note
from one of the older policy documents mentions a Board/Staff get
together. C. Moore asked the Board for their thoughts on this as to
whether this should be a business meeting or a combined business and
social meeting. O. Parsons commented that it would depend on what
you wished to accomplish. Another question was whether Staff would
feel comfortable enough to actually come forward if they had any
suggestions. B. Molesworth suggested that perhaps a social event would
be best, a kind of mutual appreciation. Perhaps it could be held during
Public Library Week in October. This idea will be taken back to the
Policy Committee. Another item raised was that the Chairman of the
Library Board should be informed of all Committee meetings to be held.
6.5 Report from the Friends oftbe Midland Public Library
G.A. Walker reported that the May dinner/dance raised $2,500.00 in
combined profits (silent auction and dinner/dance). Although not as
much money as previous years, anything they make is worth it. A couple
of the Friends' stalwarts have left and there aren't a lot of people left to
run it, however, a tentative night will be reserved for next year.
There was a good discussion at the last Friends meeting about the
group's future. A letter with the minutes of that meeting has been sent
out to former Friends asking them for input. O. Parsons and R. Allard
both commented that events like the dinner/dance and the Reading
Series, through posters and other PR events, raise the profile of the
Library in the community. Although the financial success may be
limited, the perception is one of a vibrant Library. G.^- Walker will try
and recruit people to keep tbe dinner/dan.ce going. A Wilkes offered to
take on publicity. The annual Book Sale is Saturday, July 9, 2005.

Township Clerk
Council Members and Clerk Pennycook:
I live at 5330 Line 4 North, along the strip of the 4'" Line between Moonstone and Mt St Louis Roads. My
residence is close to Moonstone Road.
Vehicle and pedestrian traffic along this stretch of the 4'" Line have increased measurably in the four years
that I've lived here - pedestrians of all generations out enjoying our lovely area and often pushing a baby
carriage, sehool-aged children getting on and off their school bns, bicyclists of all ages, runners, and more.
This, in combination with a narrow road, the many blind spots on the road due to the rolling hills, and
vehicles moving at speeds of 80 kpm and frequently greater, is causing great concern in our neighbourhood
that there is going to be a vehicle accident involving pedestrian traffic. One which would be preventable if
the vehicle were moving at a slower speed and therefore had greater opportunity to see pedestrian traffic.
1 therefore respectfully request that Council consider reducing the speed limit for vehicles on this stretch of
the 4'" Line to 60 kilometers per hour.
Thank you for your attention to this matter,

Subject: proposed kennallicense
Oro-Medonle Major and members of Council:
This is regarding the applicalion submitted to Council for a kennel on property #6331 Line 8 North.
My concern in this regard is the proper containment of the dogs.
My property is directly across from the proposed kennel. The owner, Mrs. Homer, has erecte~ a fence around the property,
however, on several occasions over the past few years their dogs have got out and ended up on my property, in my .
driveway or at my front door. This would nol be a problem of any sort if the dogs were friendly - but, in my experience, they
are not. Most recently last month I encountered one of the dogs on my property near my front porch and as I approached
and called to it, it bared its leeth and snarled. As well, because the dogs charge the fence as a pack whenever anyone or
another dog approaches, I understand that several neighbours now avoid passing the property on foot to avoid this kind of
encounter and because of a fear of the dogs getting out.
May I add that the community consists of babies, small children, old people like myself, small dogs and the usual mix of
people who may be intimidated by a pack of unfriendly dogs.
In my observations, Ihe dogs are nol being trained as family pels, nor are they being trained 10 be socially friendly with
people.
Also it doesn't seem fair thai I should be afraid to garden or go for a walk on my own property because I'm intimidated by
dogs, especially when they are in a pack - the pack mentality being an added fear. When the dogs are al the property now,
I have been using avoidance tactics by crossing my own property and coming out by the Counly Forest, bul this option is
of course not open to neighbours and also not open to me either in the Winter because of the build up of snow.
If Counsel is going to allow licensing, I believe il should be conditional on there being a containment area built inside the
property which would help ensure the conlainmenl of the dogs.
sincerely,
Rosemary Mairs, 6328 Line 8 North, Moonslone, Ont.

Safety 4 th Concession
October 4 I 05
To ; Mayor and Members of Oro- Medonte Twp. Council, c/o Ms. Marilyn pennycook Twp.
Clerk
Dear Mayor and Members ;
We would like to add our voices to those Township residents who are currently asking
your consideration to have the speed limit reduced on the Fourth Concession I between the
Mount St Louis Rd and Simcoe County Rd # 19
Our request , is based on both safety and quality of life concerns . This section of the
Fourth concession has , over the past ten years , experienced significant residential
development . The result has been , a comparatively high residential density for what has
historically been considered a rural area . This section of roadway is frequently a place
where small groups of children (boarding and alighting from school buses) and adult
pedestrians walk , and to some extent socialize .
understandably , the township should not be expected to install sidewalks .
It is reasonable however ,to ask our elected representatives to recognize , and manage
the risks that occur when pedestrians are forced to share a busy high speed road way
This concern is accentuated by ( "crest of hill II ) sight distance limitations , that now
make 80 kph . an unsafe speed limit along this section of the Fourth !
In recent years ,a traffic pattern has emerged, where vehicles use this section of the
Fourth and the Old Fort Rd. as a short cut between the # 400 highway and Hwy # 12 . This
makes the traffic volumes on these sections
of road unique It's worth noting that a similar high density residential
area exists on this same route . This area is located on the Old Fort Rd near Hwy # 12 .
Unfortunately the speed limit in that area was not changed to 50 kph until a fatality
occurred several years ago . The similarities between our stretch of the Fourth and this
section of the Third are clear.
Both form part of a high traffic volume short cut linking the 400 Hwy with Hwy # 12
Both have " crest of hill " sight distance safety concerns
Both are higher density residential areas .
Both have school children and adult pedestrians in regular conflict with vehicles
traveling at speed .
In light of the above , we ask that this Council recognize the unique safety concerns
that have developed along this short section of the Fourth concession . We also ask
Council to manage this concern by adopting a by-law that will reduce the speed on the
section of the Fourth concession between the Mount St. Louis Road and the Moonstone Road
to 50 kph .
Respectfully Yours

Subject: Operational Plan Department:
Speeding Complaint
Line 15 North
Council
C.ofW. Date: October 5, 2005
Motion # R.M. File #:
Date: RolI#:
TOWNSHIP OF ORO-MEDONTE
REPORT
II BACKGROUND:
I
Line 15 North from Highway 12 to Bass Lake Side Road was reconstructed and paved
in June 2004. Prior to this work, Line 15 had an existing paved surface that had
deteriorated substantially, thus providing a poor driving surface. Since the recent
construction and paving in 2004 along with the increased traffic on Highway 12
entering the City of Orillia, commuters have increased traffic on Line 15 to AADT of
2200 vehicles per day. This increase of traffic has caused local residents to voice their
concerns to both council and the OPP requesting increased enforcement and some
type of traffic calming measures.
Report PW2005-08 (Attachment 1) was presented to Council on June 15, 2005
recommending that a Community Safety Zone be created on Line 15, from Hwy 12 to
the Bass Lake Side Road, for the period from May 1 st to October 1 sl of each year, 24
hours a day, seven days a week. It was also recommended that speed bumps not be
installed on Line 15 due to the fact that temporary speed bumps are not recommended
as a traffic calming measure and that installation of speed bumps increases liability.
The Public Works Department also installed over sized "NO TRUCK ROUTE" signs to
conform to By- Law 2004-068 to eliminate truck usage on Line 15 North.
\ 'lc, -
II ANALYSIS:
I
Since the Community Safety Zone has been in place and the "No Truck Route" signs
have been installed on Line 15 North, concerns are being raised by area residents that
motorists do not comply with the existing 40 km/h limit.
The local residents have now formed a committee to address this problem and liaise
with the a.p.p. in this regard. In turn, the app have developed an operational plan for
Line 15 North from Highway 12 to the Bass Lake Side Road (Attachment 2). Within
this Plan, the operational framework addresses a number of items to assist with
enforcement. These items all have merit. The designation of a Community Policing
Committee in the area with an assigned a.p.p. liaison officer will ensure that the
concerns of residents are addressed.
With respect to the speed sign, it is recommended that the a.p.p. investigate the cost
of updating the software used to enable speeding histories to be downloaded as a tool
toward effective enforcement and advise Council of the associated costs.
The suggested 5 hours per week of enforcement commitment for Line 15 during the
identified problem times is approximately 12% of the number of dedicated patrol hours
for the entire Township. There are 614km of traveled road within the municipality. It is
suggested that the hours of enforcement dedicated to Line 15 be consistent with the
number of hours of enforcement assigned to other roads within the Township with
similar MDT rates and traffic enforcement concerns.
The a.p.p. aperational Plan suggests that the a.p.p. explore with the Community
Policing Committee and the municipality any possible improvements to signage and
the installation of rumble strips. Any road works to be considered that will effect the
maintenance of the road surface within the municipality should be fully investigated by
the Public Works Superintendent. It is therefore recommended that any possible
improvements recommended by the Community Policing Committee and addressed in
a viability report by the a.p.p. be forwarded to the Public Works Superintendent for
investigation and subsequently reported to Council for consideration.
- 2 -
I RECOMMENDATION(S):
~
1. THAT Report No. PW200S-014 be received and adopted.
2. THAT the O.P.P. investigate the cost of updating the software used to enable
speeding histories to be downloaded as a tool toward effective enforcement and
advise Council of the associated costs.
3. THAT the hours of enforcement dedicated to Line 15 be consistent with the number

II BACKGROUND:
~
Report #PW2005-06 was presented to Council at the Regular Committee of the Whole meeting held
on May 25, 2005 with regards to speed control and traffic concerns on Line 15 North. This Report
recommended that a Community Safety Zone not be created and speed bumps not be installed on
Line 15 North between Hwy. #12 and Bass Lake Sideroad. Council deferred Report #PW2005-06
(attached) requesting further information on the possibility of creating a Community Safety Zone on
Line 15 North, along with the installation of temporary speed bumps. All municipalities within Simcoe
County were requested to provide information with respect to guidelines and criteria for creating
Community Safety Zones.
The Public Works Department completed a new traffic count for Line 15 North, which resulted in an
MDT of 2,000 vehicles per day.
J ANALYSIS:
,
Results were received from a number of local area municipalities reporting that most municipalities
(which include Oro-Medonte) have created a Community Safety Zone on roadways near schools, as
per the policy established by the Ministry of the Solicitor General and Correctional Services (1998).
An article in the Ontario Traffic Conference publication states that larger centers have established
thirteen (13) Community Safety Zones within their respective municipalities under the new Provincial
legislation, as part of a pilot program to determine the effectiveness of the new traffic control zones.
These studies concluded that the Community Safety Zone programs have generally not been
effective in modifying driver behavior as there was a low percentage of speed reduction an<;l in most
cases, drivers ignored the Safety Zones; this provided an actual increase in traffic speed. It also
stated in this publication that police enforcement has more of a mitigating effect on driver behavior
than the Community Safety Zone itself. This information is available in the Road Superintendent's
office. As per the legislative authority for Community Safety Zones set out in Section 214.1 of the
Highway Traffic Act, municipalities have the authority to state the hours, days of the week, and
months of the year during which the zone should be active (i.e. during which increased fines will be
applied). When addressing a request to establish a Community Safety Zone in an area of the
Township, it is recommended that the following guidelines apply:
. Knowledge of collisions and/or personal injuries;
. Presence of pedestrian traffic;
. Proximity to schools and/or related uses, which expose vulnerable groups to traffic-related
hazards;
. Persistent concerns related to speeding and other traffic offences.
In considering this information, it is recommended that a Community Safety Zone be created on Line
15 North from Hwy. #12 to Bass Lake Sideroad, commencing May 1st and continuing to October 1st
of each year, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is recommended that the O.P.P. be requested
to provide monthly statistics on enforcement.
It is also recommended that speed bumps not be installed on Line 15 North due to the fact that
temporary speed bumps are not recommended as a traffic calming measure and in turn, increases
liability, per previous reports.
Further, it is recommended that an oversized "No Truck Route" sign be installed at both entrances to
Une 15 North between Hwy. #12 and Bass Lake Sideroad.
II RECOMMENDATION(S):
I
1. THAT Report No. PW2005-08 be received and adopted.
2. THAT Council receives Report #PW2005-06.
3. THAT a Community Safety Zone be created on Line 15 North from Hwy. #12 to Bass Lake
Sideroad to be in force from May 1st to October 1st of each year, 24 hours a day, seven days a
week.
4. THAT speed bumps not be installed on Line 15 North between Hwy. #12 and Bass Lake
Sideroad.
5. THAT the Public Works Department installs oversized "No Truck Route" signs at both entrances
to Line 15 North between Hwy. #12 and Bass Lake Sideroad.
6. THAT the O.P.P. be requested to provide monthly statistical reports on enforcement for Une 15

ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN
Backqround:
Line 15North falls within the boundaries of the Municipality of Oro-
Medonte and is policed by members of the Barrie Detachment of the
Ontario Provincial Police on a 24 hour basis.
Barrie O.P.P. officers are administered from the main Detachment
located at 20 Rose St. in the City of Barrie. There is a sub office
available for all officers to complete interviews and administrative duties
located at Line 4 N and Horseshoe Valley Rd. within the Twp. of Oro-
Medonte.
The Detachment complement is 1 S/Sgt , 4 Sgt's and 34 Constables for
the year 2005.
The Barrie Detachment is responsible for approx. 14,000 calls for
service per year , of which 3700 calls are within the Twp of Oro-
Medonte.
Line 15 North is a small narrow Twp. road that runs in an east west
direction from Hwy 12 to the Bass Lake Side Rd. approx.1.4 km's in
length.
The roadway is currently designated as a Community Safety Zone that
was approved by the Municipality in June ,2005. There are sufficient and
un-obstructed community safety zone signs posted.
The speed limit is posted at 40 km/hr. There are 4 speed signs placed at
various intervals along the 1.4 km roadway. All are visible and
unobstructed.

\
-
The road serves as a by-pass for residents wishing to avoid a heavily
congested area in the City of Orillia. Traffic consists of both passenger
cars and trucks. There is signage prohibiting heavy trucks under By-law
# 2004-068. The road is also used by the public to access a swimming
area on Bass Lake.
Due to congestion and the increase in vehicular traffic during the
summer months the residents living on Line 15 N near Bass Lake have
formed a committee to deal with speeding complaints. The committee of
approx. 5-10 residents have petitioned Municipal Council for a
Community Safety Zone and speed bumps to control traffic.
Representatives of the committee frequently email the Barrie OPP
Detachment Commander ( SISgt. E.J. Whinnery ) and Municipal
representatives concerning speeding complaints.
The Detachment Commander has met with the committee members to
explain the policies and operational capacity of the Detachment and the
resources that are available to commit to the problem of speeding
vehicles especially during summer months when call volume is
increased dramatically.
COMMUNITY SURVEY
A survey of residents living on Line 15 North in the area of Bass Lake
was conducted from Tuesday Sept 6th, 2005 to Thursday Sept 15th,
2005.
Resident's complaints include the following:
. Problem times for speeding were indicated as 7-9 am , 3-7 pm
weekdays and weekends.
. Overweight speeding trucks using roadway.
. Problems are more pronounced in summer months due to
pedestrian traffic.
. Residents favour additional traffic calming devices.

-\ \
Related Traffic Statistics:
From April 25/05- Sep15/05 Police responses have included:
. 58 Hours of enforcement
. 65 speeding tickets, 25 other HTA tickets issued.
Collision History :
. Jan 1sU05- Sept 15th/05
. 2004
. 2003
- 0 collisions
- 2 property damage collisions
- 0 collisions
FindinQs:
Residents are witness to traffic violations, however to date this has not
translated into a significant number of collisions. It is appropriate to
deliver Police enforcement and visibility as well as explore traffic calming
measures.

OPERATIONAL FRAMEWORK
1. The OPP will designate the Line 15 N speeding committee as a
Community Policing Committee. These members will be invited to
any subsequent Oro-Medonte community policing meetings to
have a voice on the committee.
2. Sgt. Brian Morris is assigned as the liaison NCO to the 15 Side
Road Community Policing Committee. Sgt. Morris is also the
member responsible for the "Road Watch" program.
3. The speed sign that was provided by the Municipality has been in
operation since 2002. It does not have the capability of
downloading speeding histories but is still an effective education
and enforcement tool. The OPP along with the Community
Policing committee and other volunteers will work together to
deploy this device during appropriate times.
4. The OPP will initially commit to 5 hours per week of enforcement
during the identified problem times.
5. An enforcement officer will be designated on each platoon to
provide and report on enforcement activities. See appendix A.
6. The OPP liaison Sgt. will explore with the Community Policing
Committee and toe Municipality any possible improvements to
signage and the installation of rumble strips. The officer will
prepare a viability report for the Detachment Commander and
Municipal Council to consider.

Subject: Kennel License for Ms_ Marion Homer
I attended the address of Ms. Marion Homer #633 I 8line north ofOro-
Medonte for the purpose of her Kennel application.
The gate was chained so I could not enter the property but I could see the
house from the roadside.
1 went to neighboring properties to leave a written notice to the neighbors of
Ms. Homer's intention of operating a kenneL
Please see attached letter.
J left notices on the 81h line at the following residences Mairs #6328, Gill
#6382 & #6390, unkno'M1 #6367, Resch #6299 and Gill #6281.
The proximity of Kennel may be a problem with noise factor, especially
Resch at #6299 their property is next to #6331.
There is quite a distance between the two properties with that being bush so
Ms. Homer would have to guarantee there would be no excessive noise
caused from the Kennel which may disturb the neighbors.
I spoke to Mrs. Resch and she expressed a concern regarding the dogs
getting through the fence and barking.
I f all the construction plarisare followed the facility should be suitable, the
Kennel Operator must assure the neighbors ':here will be no excessive
barking.
If anymore information is required please don't hesitate to contact me.

Re: Kennel License Application 6331 8th Line North, Oro-Medonte
Dear Mr. Kolbe,
I am writing to formally object to my neighbour's application to have a dog
kennel. This property is directly to the south of my property. Obviously it
would affect the value of my property but equally important is the fact that
the noise that would be inherent with a group of dogs living next door would
be stressful, annoying and unsatisfactory. I am also very concerned about
safety. In the past dogs have broken through the fence and I am worried this
could easily happen in the future. The most important quality of life at my
home is peace and quiet. This would be ruined if the kennel was allowed. I
appreciate your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
b

A safety co~cern has been identified along County Road 19 in the village of Some
existing commercial businesses have created a parking problem along the County Road
allowance. We have received communication from local residents as well as the Township of
Oro-Medonte requesting a no parking zone be established.
Our own investigation has concluded that a no parking zone would be prudent in this area.
Commuters seem to be parking vehicles on the right-of-way to access local business. This creates
sightline problems for vehicles approaching intersection. Our' snowplough operators have also
experienced some difficulty maneuvering through the area. The establishment of a no parking
zone is expected to alleviate some of these concerns.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
The costs involved to erect the signs can be incorporated in the 2005 sign budget.
