PROGRAMS
Programs resumed for the school year. A new five week session of Book Babies, Tales for Twos
and Threes, and Preschool Stories began this monlh. All five sessions had full regislration with a
waiting list.
The Drop in Family Storytime has proven to be very popular so we have decided to offer it every
Salurday morning instead of allernating it with Ihe Explorers Club. This will allow us 10 keep
the momentum for the program going all year. However, we still wanted 10 offer programming
for school age children, to continue to build on the success we had through the summer. We
have decided 10 offer Ihe Explorers club one Salurday afternoon a month for the fall to determine
the type of registralion and attendance we would have for the program in the afternoons. So far
we have had an overwhelming response with all four fall programs filling up quickly. The
Explorers Club is for children 7 years of age and up.
The last program of the summer was held on Saturday September 17 with Ihe prize winning
members from Ihe Summer Reader's Club attending Launch and a Movie. Brewery Bay hosted
lunch for 35 children who attended the afternoon matinee for "March oflhe Penguins" at Orillia
Cinema Four. The children also received drinks and popcorn 10 enjoy during the movie. All of
these prizes were generously donated by Brewery Bay and Orillia Cinema Four. Melissa Harris
(former page) came back as a volunteer to help with the program, Ihe children enjoyed having
her come wilh them for lunch and a movie.
Paws to Read resumed for the fall. We will be offering Paws to Read on Thursday evenings
every other week from 6:00 to 7:30. AI the moment we are still looking for more dogs so Ihat
we can register two or three children in a time slot.
OUTREACH AND PUBLICITY
Suzanne resumed the monthly Library Story Times at the Ontario Early Years Center. These are
held on the second Wednesday of every month.
Book displays this monlh included: Back to School, Thanksgiving, and March of the Penguins.

MONTHLY REPORT
DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION SERVICES
SEPTEMBER 2005
I completed a bibliography on materials of interest to retailers to be handed out at
Mike's talk to the Downtown Management Board. It was in booklet form and
included books, magazines, newspapers, audiovisual materials and some web
sites.
Michelle Sinclair came in to do the adult book club before she had her surgery,
while she was feeling a bit better. She did not want the club to lose momentum or
members.
At a meeting of non-profit groups held by Helping Hands, the current projects that
Information Orillia is undertaking were outlined. A database that is used at the
Midland information centre will be adopted to allow the Orillia community to
submit an application to volunteer for a particular non-profit group. It also allows
those new to the community to see what groups exist in the community, what the
mandate of the non-profit is and what tasks a volunteer would do for them.
Information Orillia held its annual general meeting on September 28th at the
Information Orillia office. A demonstration of their database concluded the
meeting.
At the records management committee of the city (TOMROMS) on the 29th,
progress to date was outlined. The retention bylaw for length of retention for
documents has been completed as has staff training. A disaster recovery plan is
being drafted. Budget considerations for the next year may include better
shelving for historical records in the basement of the Opera House, hiring a
consultant to look at microfilming and digitizing the records and part-time help to
continue with the project next summer. There is still a great deal to be done and
the city would like the library to adopt the TOM ROMS system at some point.
Jayne has started up the second session of Lifescapes with full enrollment again.
Programming for adults will commence again in October, during Library Week.
She and Eve took a display and library information to the Volunteer Fair at the
Orillia Square Mall. Applications were handed out to prospective volunteers and
tickets were sold for the raffle.
Statistics for the month of September were up in most areas, when compared to
the same month in 2004. Reference transactions totaled 2099. 1918 people used
the Internet. Our online databases were searched a total of 997 times. The Frost
Papers on the website were accessed 1092 time, down a bit from 1200 times last
year. Three in-library programmes were conducted in the month. Volunteer hours
were also down a bit to 171 hours (last year they numbered 233).

TECHNICAL SERVICES REPORT
September 2005
Technical Processing
Technical processing staff continued working on some small service enhancements, in
addition to their normal activities of ordering, cataloguing and processing new materials.
Some examples: Susan Dance will now e-mail staff when new books are added to the
staff development collection; and materials moved to staff-only areas of the library, such
as non-fiction books on tape put into the "Stacks" area, will now begin to carry the
instruction "Please Ask Staff' in the online catalogue re cord.
Kelly Smith from the Children's Department began working again on some of the
projects she had begun in 2004. She completed the re-classification and labelling of the
music CDs by Ihe end of September.
In September I provided SOLS with a copy of our catalogue for inclusion in the
province-wide Info database. This database is a union catalogue, bringing together the
collections of virtually all the public libraries in Ontario, and is the underpinning of the
highly effective provincial interlibrary loan system.
Circulation
Overall borrowing was up very slightly in September over September 2004, making it 2
consecutive months that we have had an increase.

Dear Mayor Craig:
On behalfoflhe Barrie/Simcoe Chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, I
would like to request that the Township ofOro-Medonte proclaim the month of
December as "Stop Impaired Driving Month".
We would also like to exlend an invitation to you to attend our annual Red
Ribbon Campaign/Festive RlDE Launches. We will be involved in two events this year,
both planned to coincide with the Provincial Launch of the Festive RlDE which is
ill
November 24 in Toronlo.
The MADD Barrie/Simcoe events are Tuesday, November 22nd at II :00 am at the
Simcoe County Omces in Midhurst. This one is being planned by Simcoe County
Paramedics.
The second event is being held Wednesday, November 23rd at I :00 pm in the
parking lot of Canadian Tire in Bradford, at 430 Holland St. W.
Both events will be well attended by Police, Fire, Paramedics, Dignitaries, MADD
Members, Families ofImpaired Driving Victims, concerned citizens, as well as,
considerable media personnel.
We launched as a Chapter almost tlve years ago, have progressively grown, and
now reach into all areas of Simcoe County. We have working relationships with upward
often different Police Departments within Simcoe County, with most of the County
represented on our Board by Police Liaisons. We are also affiliated with various Fire
Services and Simcoe County Paramedics.
In the past couple of years, we have seen slight improvement in our National
statistics wilh regard to Canadians killed and injured on a daily basis. Unfortunately
though, impaired driving remains Canada's Number ONE Criminal cause of death, which
means a lot of work must still be done. There are sadly about 4 Canadians killed and
another 190 injured every single day across our Country. This translates into almost
71,000 people directly affected by impaired driving every year. This does not include the
thousands of grieving lamilies left to try and put their lives back togelher.
It has been said that it takes a Community to raise a child. The same holds true as we
attempt to make positive changes within the Communities that we live, work and play.
We need your support. Our Citizens need to see that their local Governments are
working with us 10 make sure all of our loved ones make it home lor dinner each night.

We should not have to fear that next car coming around the bend, that they may

We thank you for your consideration of our requests. Please RSVP at 1-866-466-

REPORT
Dept. Report No. TR2005-24 To: Council Prepared By: Paul Gravelle
Subject: Municipal Funding Department: Treasury
Agreement for the Transfer of
Federal Gas Tax Revenues
Council
C.ofW. Date: November 7, 2005
Motion # R.M. File #:
Date: RolI#:
II BACKGROUND:
II
On June 1 yth, 2005, Canada, Ontario, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and the City of
Toronto signed an agreement under the Government of Canada's "New Deal for Cities and
Communities" that allows federal gas tax revenues to flow directly to municipalities in Ontario.
The agreement requires the municipality to enter into a "Municipal Funding Agreement for the
Transfer of Federal Gas Tax Revenues under the New Deal for Cities and Communities" with the
Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO).
II ANALYSIS:
II
We would like to highlight some of the key aspects of the agreement.
The following are projects eligible for the use of these funds:
1. public transit
2. water
3. wastewater
4. solid waste
5. community energy systems
6. local roads, bridges and tunnels
The t~ansfer of funds comes with the expectation that the investments will see Ontarians enjoying
-c1ei:mer air, cleaner water and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Municipalities must also clearly demonstrate that the funding used for a project is incremental. The
funding must have enabled the project's implementation, enhanced its scope or accelerated its
timing. The funding must result in increased investment in infrastructure in order to address the
infrastructure deficit.
Municipalities which choose to use the funding for local roads or bridges must submit in advance of
expending the funds a plan outlining the sustainability outcomes of investing in local roads and
bridges. Examples of sustainability outcomes are:
1) projects involving the restoration and rehabilitation of existing assets in order to extend the
asset's lifespan by several years
2) projects incorporating significant quantities of recycled and reclaimed material
3) projects which significantly reduce travel time and distances
The municipality is permitted to carry over unexpended funds from the year received into subsequent
years in an interest-bearing reserve fund. As such, the required reserve fund should be established.
II RECOMMENDATION(S):
II
1. THAT Report No. TR2005-24 be received and adopted.
2. That the Treasurer establish an interest-bearing reserve fund for unexpended gas tax revenues.
3. THAT the appropriate by-law to authorize the execution of the municipal funding agreement be
brought forward.
Respectfully submitted,

Subject: Department:
Council
Interim Control By-law Planning
C.ofW. Kennels Date:
November 8, 2005
Motion # R.M. File #:
Date: RolI#:
I BACKGROUND:
II
The issue of dog kennels and potential incompatibility with residential land uses has been brought to
Council and staff's attention in recent months. The purpose of this report is to identify how kennels
are regulated through the Township's Zoning By-law, and recommend a process to deal with future
proposals on a go-forward basis.
II ANALYSIS:
I)
The Township's Comprehensive Zoning By-law 97-95 permits kennels within the Agricultural/Rural
(AlRU) Zone, on lots with a minimum lot size of 10 ha (24.7 acres). In respect of buildings within
which a kennel is located, minimum setbacks of 100 metres (328 feet) from the front, side (interior
and exterior) and rear lot lines are required. No other Zoning By-law regulations affect kennels at this
time.
The issue in permitting kennels on all lands zoned A/RU is that it does not provide flexibility for staff
and Council to review on a site-specific basis properties on which kennel operations may lead to an
incompatible land use conflict. Moreover, the By-law does not currently contain minimum standards
for fencing, which can include fence type, setbacks for fencelines etc. which Council can consider.
It may be prudent to remove the land use permissions respecting kennels altogether. Applications
for Zoning By-law Amendment would then be required to establish such a use. Such site-specific
amendments would involve a public consultation process affording surrounding property owners an
opportunity to comment. The Township can also consider temporary use by-laws under Section 39
of the Act, which can be granted for a maximum of three years (with possible extensions of three
years each). This process enables a municipality to review the operation of any such facility and if so
desired, refuse to extend the land use permissions if such an operation is deemed inappropriate. By-
law enforcement under the Zoning By-law would also be an option for the Township in these
instances.
Staff are in the process of preparing a General Amendment to the Township's Zoning By-law, which
should come before Council in the coming months. As part of this process, many General Provisions
of the By-law will be reviewed, and updates recommended where warranted. Section 38 of the
Planning Act allows a municipality to pass an Interim Control By-law to regulate any such land use
where a review or study of policy has been identified. In the instance of kennels, passing an Interim
Control By-law would prohibit the establishment of any new kennels until such time as Council
determines a position in respect of zoning controls as part of the General Amendment process.
The Interim Control provisions of the Planning Act can be applied on in situations where Council has
directed by resolution that a study or review of policies is underway. The period that such by-laws
are in effect shall not exceed one year from the date of passing. Council may extend such a period
to a maximum of two years, There is no notice requirements prior to Council passing Interim Control
By-laws, however, there is a requirement to provide notice of passing and there is a 60 day appeal
period.
It is noted that operators would still be required to obtain a license under the Township's Licensing
By-law. The issue of regulations of the Zoning By-law under the Planning Act allow for greater
control over land use should Council so desire.
II RECOMMENDATION(S):
II
1. THAT Report No. PD 2005-060 be received and adopted; and,
2, THAT Council direct staff to study the issue of kennel regulations as part of the Zoning By-
law review;
3. THAT the Clerk bring forward an interim control By-law under Section 38 of the Planning Act
to remove kennels as permitted uses until such time as the Zoning By-law review is
complete.
