Township of Oro-Medonte

Dear Mayor Craig:
Thank you for your letter regarding funding for Ontario Library Services. I am pleased to respond to you
about this matter. and apologize for the delay in doing so.
Our government is committed to a strong and vital public library sector. We recognize that libraries have
a significant role in their communities as hubs for information, education and citizen engagement. That is
why our government is investing over $28.4 million this year in public libraries to ensure that they will
continue to serve Ontarians effectively throughout the province.
Our priorities for provincial support for the library sector include protecting the inter-library loans services,
First Nation libraries and the annual operating grants for public libraries. This is because we know that
libraries rely on stable operating funding to support their day-to-day activities and to plan for the future. In
addition, small community libraries now qualify for Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) grants under the
Special Initiative for Rural and Small Communities. The OTF will support initiatives including special
projects and infrastructure improvement.
The Ministry of Culture, like most other ministries, had to find cost savings to ensure the government has
a responsible fiscal plan to invest in its priorities. We had to make some very difficult choices. I am
confident that the Ontario Library Services boards will make the best decisions to focus their resources in
areas that support the library sector's priorities. I have met with the Chairs and Chief Executive Officers
of Ontario Library Services-North and Southern Ontario Library Services to reiterate my support for the
library sector.
The ministry is working closely with the sector on the delivery of our services to Ontario's public libraries.
In September. I hosted a Library Leaders' Dialogue where participants representing various public library
organizations shared their vision for library services in Ontario and expressed the particular, diverse
needs of their own communities. In addition, my ministry has more recently held two First Nation
Dialogues. We are listening to Ontarians input on how to ensure that libraries and library patrons
continue to have access to the services that they need.
Again, thank you for taking the time to share your concerns and please accept my best wishes.
Sincerely.

Dear Minister Meilleur:
The Township of Oro-Medonte provides library services to Oro-Medonte residents through
contracts with five adjacent Library Boards.
The Orillia Public Library Board has made the Township aware of the reduction in the budget
of the Ontario Library Service North (OLS-North) and the Southern Ontario Library Service
(SOLS) by $700,000.
The Ontario Library Service provides a vital service to the public library community and is
especially crucial to smaller libraries. The SOLS, in particular, has played a large role in the
delivery of service to the community by the Orillia Board.
Restoration of funding would ensure continued use of these valuable resources to enrich local
communities through access of ideas and information in a variety of means.
Therefore, on behalf of Council of the Township, I would respectfully request that you give
favourable consideration to the Odilia Library Board's request to restore this funding to OLS-
North and SOLS to ensure the continued provision of the valued services offered by public
libraries in our community.
Yours truly,

To whom it may concern .
Residents of Hawkestone are concerned about safety on Line 11 entrance
into Hawkestone.
Hawkestone has approximately 180 homes plus the Sokel Property
Association have approximately 50 residences and a trailor park.
There is a general store with a Liquor Control Board outlet.
Hawkestone Yacht club which has several boats park there And people
traveling to and from club especially during summer season.
Fire Station.
Girl Guide Camp.
United Church with weekly services and other events.
Hawkestone community hall with various function all year round.
In addition to residents of Hawkestone there are approximately 175 homes in
Simcoside at bottom of Line 10 south that would use this Line 11 if traveling
to Barrie or coming from Orillia due to the fly over at the highway.
The are also a number of residents on Lakeshore between the 12th and 13th
lines of Oro-Medonte that uses Line 11 due to the fly over at the highway.
There are several school buses using this road traveling both to East Oro
Elementary school and the local high schools in OriIlia.
The intersection of Line 11 and Ridge Road has a three way stop and dur:to
the hilI cars traveling north out of Hawkestone are not required to stop at the
intersection.
Traveling south on Line 11 there is an incline before you reach intersection.
The speed limit entering village is 50 Km.
The main problem is the local service station which also has gas pumps has
several cars parked aU over their property. They also park cars on the west
side of Line 11 . This creates a visibility problem when cars are entering or
leaving the station. The danger increases in winter months when snow
banks are on sides of road.
The enclosed pictures were taken on Oct. 4th ,2005 and Oct.5,2005 both in
the morning.
The residents are requesting that you investigate the possibility of insta11ing
no parking signs from the intersection of Ridge Road north on Line eleven
on both sides of the road. This would eliminate the congestion in this area
and provide improved visibility in this area and address the safety issue for
cars entering and leaving service station
We look fOf\vard to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

Attention: Neil Craig, Mayor
Dear Mayor Craig:
Re:
2005 Interim Audit
During the course of our interim audit of the Township of Oro-Medonte for the year ended December
31, 2005 we identified the following matters which may be of interest to Council. The objective of an
audit is to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement, and it is not designed to identify matters that may be of interest to management in
discharging its responsibilities. Accordingly, an audit would not necessarily identify all such matters.
The matters identified were:
Credit card approvals
Currently, there are only two individuals at the Township with credit cards: the CAO and the
Treasurer. The Treasurer's card is often used by other department heads and employees and there
are instances where the receipts are not kept and forwarded to the treasury department. We
understand that treasury does spend time tracking down receipts and explanations. In the event of a
GST audit, the lack of actual receipts bearing the amount of GST and the GST number will lead to
input tax credits being disallowed. In addition, the credit card statements are not approved in writing.
We recommend that a directive be given to all credit card "users" stressing the importance of obtaining
and forwarding supporting documentation to the treasury department for all purchases. The Township
might also consider having more than two Township credit cards. Perhaps each department head
should have a credit card and they would be responsible for approving expenditures by their staff and
collecting receipts. Finally, all credit card statements should have staff approval indicated in writing.
At this point, it would be feasible for the CAO to approve the Treasurer's credit card statement and
vice versa.
Management comments:
Credit card registers are provided to Council monthly for review.
Parks and recreation accounts receivable
It has come to our attention that interest is no longer being charged on overdue parks and recreation
accounts. Although we do not believe there are significant dollars involved, we wanted to bring this to
Council's attention as well.

~.. '-'

Management comments:
Treasury believes that until what constitutes an overdue charge is clearly communicated to the user
group at the time of entering into the lease agreement, it is not efficient to calculate and apply an
interest charge that will not be collected.
Miscellaneous revenue controls
We recommend that departments responsible for miscellaneous revenues such as dog tags, marriage
licences, etc. perform an annual reconciliation to ensure that all tags or licences issued are paid for
and that the amount is recorded in the general ledger. Treasury will certainly be able to assist in this
regard.
The risk is that miscellaneous revenue is collected in cash, the tag or licence issued to the taxpayer,
but the cash does not find its way to the Township's coffers. Despite the small, individual dollars
involved, over time the amount can be significant.
Management comments:
Treasury is willing to assist any department in establishing a system of intemal control.
Prior recommendations
We were pleased to note that virtually all of our previous recommendations have been implemented.
Rest assured that the Township's controls are stronger due to the efforts of the treasury department in
this regard.
By its nature, this letter tends to deal with those areas of internal control where we feel improvements
may be achieved. Accordingly, we have not commented on the many stron9 features of your system.
These comments relate to the accounting systems only, and are not intended to reflect upon the
competence or integrity of the municipality's personnel.
This communication is prepared solely for the information of Council and is not intended for any other
purpose. We accept no responsibility to a third party who uses this communication.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Paul Gravelle and all of the Treasury staff for their
assistance and complete co-operation during our audit. Please feel free to call with any comments or
questions at your convenience.
Yours very truly

Environmental Services Keith Mathieson.
Re Roll #4346-020-009-22200-0000
Paul Gravelle,
In the late 1990's I attended a tax review board hearing. Present was my lawyer
and Debbie Mooney from the township. The reason my lawyer was present was because
of a toxic waste dumpsite across the road from me, originally in Medonte township. In 3
days of environmental hearings which were held in Elmvale (Springwater Township)
after the realignment of townships the decision was clearly made that my assessment
would not increase until the work order and certificate of prohibition were removed from
the affected property under section 137, 140 & 144 of the Environmental Protection Act.
In Premier Harris' wisdom and cutbacks, the generator of the toxic waste was responsible
for the clean-up. Evidently after the 3 days of environmental hearings in Elmvale, the
recommendations and cleanup procedures were in jeopardy.
The Mayor Ian Beard was given videos and still photographs of the waste site. They
were delivered to his home where they were signed for. As we all know, Ian Beard
passed on. I proceeded with corresponding with Debby Mooney and Jennifer
Zeileniewski in order to acquire some help.
Dr. Hicks, a chief medical officer at Simcoe County lived on the adjoining property to the
waste site. He assured the residents of the area that the water was safe to drink and that
he was working with Dr. Hore of the environment as well as Alex Scott to have the
barrels removed. Mrs. Hicks was also working with the Township and reassured
neighbors that everything was being done to remedy the situation.

,
.
5t - d-
Pg. 20f3
All ofa sudden Dr. Hicks placed his residence up for sale. His property sold within 13
days well below market value.
The red flags started to go up not only with me but with the neighbours as well. To this
day we have not heard from Dr. Hicks.
I hired a lawyer and proceeded with the Freedom ofInformation Act to the township of
Oro-Medonte, Springwater and the Ministry of the Environment.
A letter from simcoe county stated that Dr. Hicks had never reported this information in
any way shape or form. The letter also indicated that he is self serving. In regards to the
letter to the minister and the information received from Alex Scott, suggested I excavate
my property and that the generator was responsible for the cleanup. Virtually the
ministry washed their hands of the situation.
I received an assessment notice from MPAC a private company. I contacted Ralph
Bradley and he suggested that I file and appeal. I paid my fee, an appeal date was set.
Prior discussions with Ralph Bradley indicated he had no previous knowledge of the
dumpsite or the Assessment. These conversations were taped.
Adjudicator Barkley listened to a small amount of the pertinent information and
suggested that I have an appraisal done on my property.
Because of the complex matter, I had estimates that ranged form $5000.00 to $20000.00
for the appraisal work. I again sent $75.00 to present my case at MPAC's assessment
review board. I got a new adjudicator, Mrs. Robinson. She did not want to hear the case
and said the proper photocopies were not submitted. I was not requested by anyone to
submit copies of anything.
This summer, an Oro- Mendonte By-law officer came to my property with a Ministry
Official. They took notes and stated that they would get back to me. I have not heard
anything from either one of them since.
Under the freedom of information act, I discovered there was no water testing ever done.
There is well above average rates of cancer and one case of a misdeveloped child that
required aborting in the immediate area.
The township over the years has been well aware of the situation. The medical costs to
myself and my neighbours have been astronomical.
F&P manufacturing and the Honda Plant were caught disposing of toxic waste
improperly and were fined.
.
...
Pg. 30f3
I am a senior citizen with a limited income and this has cost me financially, as well as my
health has not been good.
I don't think that the residents ofOro-Medonte should be victims. I have chronologically
documented records and information starting in 1983 when the township gave permission
for this activity to take place.
I have been a resident on this property since 1967. I feel the township should respect the
original assessment. Remittance will be sent upon receiving a proper invoice excluding
interest, at the original agreed upon assessment.
Your attention in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Yours truly,
James Harvey

Subject: Warminster Soccer League Budget Requests
Attention Mayor and Council;
On behalf of the Warminster Soccer League, I would like to ask that during your next
budget considerations we be allowed to make a couple of requests.
I) We would like to see the field at Richelieu Park 'top dressed'.
Y We feel that if this were done it would take out some of the dips and wholes that
are a safety concern.
Y It would also help to level out the field and allow us to make better use of the room
that is there. We would like to be able to try and add another 'soccer pitch' as we
always run at capacity and it would be nice to allow children on the waiting list the
opp0l1unity to join us. Soccer can be such a benefit to the children as they can
enjoy the exercise and the social interaction, making many new friends.
2) We would like to see a permanent building, with water and hydro, on the site. We
would like this building to have storage, bathrooms, and a snack bar area; very similar to
the building at the Warminster Park.
Y For years we have rented a storage bin which requires us to move our equipment
back and forth (often being damaged in the move) before and after season.
Y Each year the Township supplies us with 'port-a-potties', while this does give the
children a spot of relief we would like them to be able to wash their hands to try
and keep away as many germs as possible that can cause unnecessary illness.
Y It would also cut down on the line-ups at the 'port-a-potties'
Y It would also allow our players a place to change. especially first night when
uniforms are handed out, or our volunteers that ref and play.
We are not asking for the township to just give us a building but rather help us
make a dream come true. We have set aside some money for a building and
would like to work with the Township on this project; from the design right
through.
Your consideration in these matters is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Janet Doughty

To the Mayor and Members of Council,
As residents of Shanty Bay and the Arbourwood Subdivision, please be advised of our
desire to develop the parkland located off of Basswood Circle. We have formed a
committee and circulated questionnaires to all of the residents within the subdivision.
Of the thirty questionnaires returned, the highest interest was in the development of a
playground and a tennis court. During the canvass ofthe neighbourhood we had many
positive comments and feel we will obtain further support from the community once the
fundraising is in full gear.
We would like to begin the initial process with this development and request the
Township ofOro-Medonte match any and all funds we are able to raise. We also request
the Township of Oro-Medonte assist us in any other way possible ie; planning,
establishment of an account from which charitable receipts can be issued, etc.
To date we have approximately $7000.00 pledged for these projects. Our goal is to raise
$20,000.00 - $25,000.00. Our hopes are that we can raise the necessary funds within a
short period of time and that the project can be completed in 2006. With your assistance
we are certain this park will be a safe and fun place that all of the residents of Shanty Bay
can enJoy.
Please don't hesitate to contact any of the committee members noted below should you
have any questions or concerns. Your assistance with this project is greatly appreciated.

Subject: Actuarial Valuation Department: Treasury
of Post-Retirement Benefits
Council
C.ofW. Date: December 7,2005
Motion # R.M. File #:
Date: RolI#:
II BACKGROUND:
II
In their management letter relating to the 2004 year-end, our auditors advised that in order to comply
with Section 3255 of the Public Sector Accounting Handbook, the municipality would have to obtain
an actuarial valuation of post-retirement benefits. They estimated that the cost of an actuarial
valuation to be between $3,000 and $5,000.
The only future employee benefit that will require an actuarial valuation is the payment of health and
dental premiums for senior management from retirement date to age 65.
II ANALYSIS:
II
In discussion with our auditors, the only firm that they are aware of that provides such actuarial
valuations is Dion Durrell of Toronto. Please find attached a copy of their proposal. Proposed fees
are $4,100.
This fee is for the calculation of the actuarial valuation of post- retirement benefits for the year ending
December 31,2005 and an extrapolation of results for the years ending December 31,2006 and
December 31, 2007.

Dear Mr. Gravelle:
Re: Township of Oro-Medonte Post-Retirement Non-Pension Benefits
Estimated Fees for 2005
The scope of the work relating to the Township of Oro-Medonte ("the Municipality's") required
actuarial valuations of the post-retirement benefits plan, will involve, but are not limited to, the
following:
. Review of post-retirement/post-employment benefits;
. Collection and reconciliation of data and information;
. Valuation of the post-retirement benefit liabilities; and
. Identification and discussion of financial strategies.
The valuations for the Municipality will be performed in compliance with guidelines set forth in
Sections 3250 and 3255 of the CICA Public Sector Accounting Handbook.
The actuarial team performing the valuations collectively possesses the requisite combination of
skills, certification and education required. In addition, this team has the qualifications and
certification to meet the standards issued by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries' Consolidated
Standards of Practice ("General Standards") with respect to external reporting, which became
effective December 1, 2002. The actuarial reports that will be prepared for the Municipality will
be in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practice. In addition, as most auditors of
financial statements request or require that an actuary certify that the liability and current service
values are in accordance with accepted actuarial practice, the actuarial valuation reports will be
certified by an actuary. The qualifications and experience of the actuarial team are available upon
request.
Estimated Fees
The fee structure for the provision of services for post-retirement benefits is based upon the
assumption that one comprehensive and detailed actuarial valuation for the post-retirement benefits
will be performed for the year ending December 31, 2005 for the Municipality. The provision of

services will include an extrapolation of results to compute the accrued benefit obligation for the
years ending December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, completed and delivered following the
December 31, 2005 valuation.
The fee structure for this service based on the Municipality's employee population with post-
retirement benefits of approximately 13 active employees and retired former employees in receipt
of retirement benefits would be $4,100.
The fees are based upon the membership data and benefit plan provisions being provided in a
reasonable form, such form to be detailed in a data request letter. Any additional fees will be
discussed with the Municipality before being imposed.
The extrapolation of results for the years ending December 31,2006 and December 31, 2007 will
be completed with no additional fees. However, if there are significant changes to the information
during these years, a full actuarial review may be required. Significant changes to the information
would include re-negotiated benefits, increased benefit costs, changes in actuarial valuation
assumptions and significant swings in demographics, for instance.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Yours truly,

Council Claim for Compensation Administration

Motion # J,') R.M. File #:
Date: ~f-\.\"lI05 RolI#:
TOWNSHIP OF ORO-MEDONTE
REPORT
(I BACKGROUND:
I
On August 11 ,2005, one of the Township Livestock Valuers, Andy McNiven, attended a farm to take
a report of the killing of a yearling horse. The owner of the horse met Mr. McNlven on site and the
carcass was inspected. Several photographs were also taken of the carcass as well as of footprints
in the area made by the predator. The Valuer determined, as recorded in his report, that the owner
had taken reasonable measure to prevent predation and that the compensation awarded should be
$500.00. The Valuer also determined that he had found evidence, to the best of his knowledge and
belief, that shows the predator responsible for the damage was a cougar.
Mr. McNiven requested that a representative of the Ministry of Natural Resources attend the site to
confirm the type of predator. A Ministry representative from Midhurst did attend the site on August 15
with the Valuer and the owner of the livestock. The official position of the Ministry is that there are no
wild cougars/pumas in this area. Mr. Stuart Kenn of the Ontario Puma Foundation was asked to
comment based on the method of kill and the photos 01 the tracks. Mr. Kenn's opinion is that the
predator was a "cat" but it was not possible to determine the type or size since there was no scale for
comparison in the photo.
The owner of the horse attended the Township offices on the 18th of August to submit the claim and
swear an affidavit as required.
The Valuer's report and the affidavit are attached for information (Attachment 1).
lo~~
"
II ANALYSIS: I
Section 3(3) of the Livestock, Poultry and Honey Bee Protection Act states that "the council of a local
municipality may pass a by-law providing that where livestock or poultry are killed or injured by wild
animals, other than wolves, in the municipality, subsection (1) applies in the same manner".
Subsection (1) referred to in this instance, places the liability for the amount of damage incurred on
the municipality. The Township of Oro-Medonte has not passed a by-law providing compensation for
kills by wild animals.
As well, Mr. Robin Chandra of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food advised that his Ministry has no
program in place to compensate for livestock kills by wild animals other than wolves, coyotes or
bears.
Section 4(4) of the Livestock, Poultry and Honey Bee Protection Act states that "Where the valuer
finds evidence that to the best of his or her knowledge and belief shows that any of the livestock or
poultry was not killed or injured by a dog or a wolf, the council of a municipality may deny liability in
whole or in part by written notice given by the clerk of the municipality to the owner of the livestock or
poultry within 30 days after the filing of the affidavit with the clerk".
The Township of Oro-Medonte participates fully in the programs established by the Ministry of
Agriculture and Food to compensate livestock owners in the case of damage by wolves, coyotes and
bears. The incidence of predation in the Township by wild animals other than wolves, coyotes and
bears has been minimal.
It is therefore recommended that the claim for compensation by Mr. Henry Regelink for killing of
livestock on August 11, 2005 be denied; and that the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry
of Agriculture and Food be advised of this claim.
~ RECOMMENDATION(S):
I
1. THAT Report No. ADM2005-042 be received and adopted.
2. THAT the claim for compensation by Mr. Henry Regelink for killing of livestock on August 11,
2005 be denied and that Mr. Regelink be notified of Council's decision before September 18,
2005;
3. THAT the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of Agriculture and Food be advised of
the claim for killing of livestock by a cougar.

Dear Minister Ramsey:
On September 14, 2005, Council of the Township of Oro-Medonte denied a claim by a
livestock owner for compensation for a colt killed by a cougar. The determination of the
predator in this instance was made by the Township's appointed Livestock Valuer after he had
attended the scene and collected evidence of the kill. The Ministry of Natural Resources
representative from the Midhurst office also attended the scene and the photographs taken
were forwarded to the President of the Ontario Puma Foundation for consideration.
Council deliberated this report of an unusual predator in the Township at some length and felt
it necessary at this time to raise awareness of the presence of such an animal in the area.
Oro.Medonte is a largely rural municipality and is home to many large livestock holdings. I
would therefore respectfully request that your Ministry recognize the threat of predation to
livestock by cougars/pumas in Ontario.
In conjunction with this request, I have also requested that the Minister of Agriculture and Food
consider the initiation of a program of compensation to livestock owners for predation by wild
animals other than wolves, coyotes and bears. A copy of the resolution circulated to all
municipalities in Ontario for support is attached for your information.
Your favourable consideration of Council's request would be appreciated.
Yours truly,

Dear Mayor Craig:
Thank you for your recent letter expressing council's interest in having the Livestock,
Poultry and Honey Bee Protection Act expanded to address predation by cougars.
The Livestock, Poultry and Honey Bee Protection Act was designed to provide
compensation to producers of specific livestock species for damage resulting from wolf,
coyote and dog attacks, and for damage to honey bee colonies or honey bee equipment
caused by bears. The Bear Damage to Livestock program provides compensation for
livestock killed or injured by bears.
The Ontario government understands that nuisance wildlife can be a serious concern to
those producers directly affected. For this reas()Jl,staf!:.<<:>.~the Ontario ~i.IIiStrl'(JL_____ _
Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs are actively working with the Ministry of Natural
Resources and other stakeholders to develop a province-wide strategy for managing
nuisance wildlife.
Thank you, once again, for bringing council's views on this important matter to my
attention.
Sincerely,
~N~7

Dept. Report No. To: Committee of the Whole Prepared By:
ADM2005-062 Jennifer Zieleniewski, CAO
and Kim Allen, Acting
Director of Building/By-law
Enforcement
Subject: Department:
Council Animal Control By-law Administration / By-law
Enforcement
C.ofW. Date: December 14, 2005
Motion # R.M. File #:
Date: RolI#:
II BACKGROUND:
~
As part of the Council agenda, a public meeting was held at the Administration Offices on
November 16, 2005. The purpose of the public meeting was to solicit comments and input from the
public with respect to that portion of the Animal Control By-law dealing with licensing of kennels. A
copy of the draft by-law as presented to Council on November 16 is attached. (Attachment 1).
Township staff initiated a review of the Animal Control By-law as part of the on-going process of
ensuring that Township by-laws comply with new Municipal Act legislation. The main text and
Appendices 'A'. 'C' and 'D' of the existing by-law were amended solely to bring the by-law into
compliance with new legislation. Appendix 'B' of the Animal Control By-law - 'Regulating and
Licensing of Kennels for Breeding and Boarding Dogs' was amended for Council's consideration
to recommend an increase to the current licensing fees (Attachment # 2) and bring forward
regulations for kennels that would ensure that licenses issued under this by-law are granted to true
kennel operations and that such businesses would have no negative impact on surrounding
residents. This would necessitate owners who do not fall under the definition of kennel operation and
are not in compliance with the Animal Control By-law to make application to Council for exemption to
the two dog limit.
Several residents of the Township made Council aware of their concerns regarding licensing issues
at the November 16 meeting. Council directed that these comments, as well as any others submitted
prior to the end of November, be taken into consideration and that staff bring forward a report to
address these comments. Written comments were submitted by:
Larry and Karen Lynn received November 21 , 2005
Carolyn Smith received November 29, 2005 '2
Kim Leblanc received November 29, 2005
Lester and Rosetta Parry received November 30, 2005
Martine Pepler received November 30, 2005
Jeanalee Kanis received November 30, 2005
John Stanley received November 29, 2005
Joanne Kaplinski received November 30, 2005
Gail Bishop received November 30, 2005.
A synopsis of the concerns listed in the above correspondence is attached for Council's information.
(Attachment #3)
II ANALYSIS:
II
Staff have reassessed the results of the initial investigation conducted in reviewing Appendix 'B' of
the proposed draft Animal Control By-law. The main concerns expressed by residents were the
increase in licensing fees for kennels, the maximum number of dogs permitted in each type of kennel
and the requirement of proof of rabies vaccination every year.
Section 150(9) of the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, c. 45 states that "the total amount of fees to be
charged for licensing a class of business shall not exceed the costs directly related to the
administration and enforcement of the by-law or portion of the by-law of the municipality licensing that
class of business. The $200.00 licensing fee suggested for new kennel licenses in the draft by-law is
composed of the $75 Building/By-law Inspection Fee, the $75 Fire Inspection Fee and a $50.00
administration charge to cover the OSPCA visit and staff time to issue the license. The $155.00 fee
suggested for renewal of kennel licenses in the draft by-law is composed of the $75.00 Building/By-
law Inspection Fee, the $75.00 Fire Inspection Fee and a $5.00 administration charge for the
issuance of the license.
The initial application for a kennel license requires that the By-law Enforcement Department inspect
the premises to ensure licensing by-law compliance. Upon further analysis, it is staff's opinion that a
Fire Inspection is not necessary for new kennel licensing since Fire Inspection is addressed within
the building permit for structures. It is therefore recommended that the "New License" Section of
Schedule 'A' of draft By-law No. 2005-119, be amended to reduce the $200.00 fee by the Fire
Inspection Fee of $75.00 to $125.00.
When a kennel license is being renewed, an inspection by the Building/By-law Enforcement
Department is required to ensure compliance with the regulations cited in the by-law. Again, during
further analysis it was determined that a Fire Inspection is not necessary. It is therefore
recommended that the "Renewal of License" Section of Schedule 'A' of draft By-law No. 2005-119,
be amended to reduce the $155.00 fee by the Fire Inspection Fee of $75.00 to $80.00.
To address the concerns expressed with respect to the number of dogs permitted and the maximum
number of dogs allowed in kennel situations, the surrounding Simcoe County municipalities had been
canvassed. The results are attached as Attachment #4. It is recommended that the maximum
number of dogs allowed in breeding, boarding and breeding/boarding kennels remain as proposed in
the draft Animal Control By-law.
- 2 -
The draft Animal Control by-law contained no amendments with respect to the requirement for new or
renewal licences that proof of rabies vaccination be provided every year. To further address
residents' concerns, and to acknowledge the information provided at the public meeting with respect
to the necessity of yearly vaccinations and after much discussion, staff recommends to Council that
Appendix 'B', Section 1.4.3 be amended to read "Vertification of current rabies vaccination or written
verification by a veterinarian of satisfactory rabies protection for all dogs kept or to be kept at
the subject kennel for breeding purposes".
It should be noted that residents that do not meet the definition of kennel operation and that currently
have been issued a kennel license, will continue to qualify for such a license until the need for such a
license no longer exists (grandfathering).

II

4. THAT that the "Renewal of License" Section of Schedule 'A' of draft By-law No. 2005-119, be
amended to reduce the $155.00 fee by the Fire Inspection Fee of $75.00 to $80.00.
5. THAT the draft "Animal Control" by-law presented on November 16, 2005 Appendix 'B', Section
1.4.3 be amended to read "Verification of current rabies vaccination or written verification by a
veterinarian of satisfactory rabies protection for all dogs kept or to be kept at the subject kennel
for breeding purposes".

Dear Mr. Mayor and Council Members:
In regard to our conversation Mr. Mayor on Wednesday aftemoon November 16, we wish to further
address our concems of retaining our kennel license with respect to our specific situation. We own
three purebred dogs and have had a kennel license issued by the former Township of Medonte since
January 1991. Our interests are in the Newfoundland dog breed and are current members of the
"Newfoundland Dog Club of Canada". Our dogs reside in our household. At present, we do not have a
kennel facility and the dogs we own are not breeding dogs.
Enclosed is a letter from the Township of Oro-Medonte dated February 1994 that allowed us to retain
our kennel license with respect to our situation under Oro- Medonte Bylaw 94-37. We were also issued
our license under Animal Control Bylaw 2002-76. Our wish is to maintain our kennel license under the
new Animal Control Bylaw 2005-119 for three purebred dogs with respect to our situation as outlined in
this letter.
Another issue to do with the Animal Control Bylaw that we would like council to consider is a
classification of kennel license to cover the situation for the need of farmers to own multiple guard dogs
for predator control. These dogs are housed with the livestock day and night in a pasture and bamyard
environment. As farmers ourselves, with recent predator losses we can appreciate the valuable seNice
that guard dogs could provide to livestock farmers.
Thank you for your consideration.

Mayor & Council,
The new kennel legislation planned for Oro- Medonte Township is
flawed and definitely needs to be revisited and revised by council before
even considering the option that this item should be passed by this counciL
I, Carolyn Smith, have had a kennel license within this current
township since 1972. Long before most of this council even considered
sitting in their present positions. I strongly object to the proposed revisions
based on the fact that this proposed by-law won't restrict new kennels from
applying for licenses but will gravely effect the ones that have been
operating in this township for many years. Sorry but after having paid for a
license for over 30 something years without an issue I think I deserve a little
more consideration than the "new kids on the block".
I also strenuously object to the increases in license fees. My issue is
that the proposed revisions are based, by this council, on the fact that all
kennels are creating income that the council should share. In actual fact
commercial breeding kennels and boarding kennels are generating an
income but non- commercial or occasional breeders as myself are definitely
not. The last litter born here was 3 years ago and in the meantime I have had
vet bills and food bills that are definitely keeping me in the red ink category.
But because of the number I maintain I need to renew every year and am not
making the $155.00 income that this council is proposing I pay for the next
license.
If the purpose of this new by-law is to control the number of kennels
in this township then the by-law should stipulate that there will be no new
licenses issued as of this particular date. This would ensure that there are no
new "puppy mills" that are showing up in townships like Vaughan. There
are townships that currently have those restrictions in place and only allow
new ones when others move or retire or don't renew.
This proposed by-law intends to restrict numbers of dogs allowed for
both breeding kennels and boarding kennels. This is not an issue for myself
for the breeding end of things but I truly believe that there is a constitutional
issue with restricting a person's opportunity to generate more income. The
boarding limit is a problem. As a suggestion and maybe a bit of education
there are limited opportunities for folks running these facilities to make an
income. It is a weekend or holiday thing when people travel and are looking
for a spot for their pets when they are trying to traveL And the boarding
kennels should not have to restrict the number of potential paying clients on
the few opportunities that they have to make that income. And if this
legislation were to be implemented then most of the boarding kennels in this
township would have to turn prospective clients away because they were full
on major weekends or Christmas. That would mean that this township would
need to consider the fact that there might be a whole new list of applications
for new boarding kennel licenses to cover the overflow. Kill an existing
income but create a whole new list of kennels that are not going to be able to
survive based on the proposed restricted boarding kennel numbers. Not a
well devised plan.
The suggestion that kennels should under go annual fire inspections
and kennel inspections is quite simply a proposed invasion of privacy and
also possibly a constitutional issue. Currently there is no legislation in place
in this township for regular flTe inspections of people residences. If there is
nothing in place for any other livestock inspections and this council wants
all kennel owners to be able to identify themselves as members of the
Canadian Kennel Club and all their animals are registered under the Federal
Animal & Livestock Act then I would believe that this council is
overstepping their bounds with this proposal.
The issues that this council wants to address with this proposal need to
be identified specifically. This proposed by-law is not going to solve many
issues and will definitely alienate members of this township that have been a
non-issue and maintaining their respective kennels licenses for a number of
years.
If there is any way that I can be of assistance with the wording of this
new by-law I am more than willing to help council formulate something that
would be effective and appropriate.

Township of Oro-Medonte
By-law No. 2005-119 "Animal Control Bylaw"
Appendix "A"
5.0 No owner of a dog shall allow the dog to run at large within the limits of the
Municipality of the Township of Oro-Medonte.
5.1 For the purposes of this section, a dog shall be deemed to be running at large when
found elsewhere other than on the property of the owner and not under control of a
competent and responsible person.
Comments & Concerns
1. Please see the sample section of a bylaw I have enclosed.
2. Many of our residents are avid sportsmen using their dogs to hunt and retrieve
game. These dogs would not be on the property of the owner in many cases while
hunting or retrieving game. This bylaw as it is written appears to put them in
violation.
3. In many rural townships, the purpose of the licensing fee was initiated to help pay
for livestock lost by local fanners to rogue loose dogs and coyotes. Suffice it to
say that the amount of time and money, forget the emotional commitment, that
breeders have invested in their dogs makes it unlikely that one of their dogs is
loose.
Appendix "B"
Regulating and Licensing of Kennels for Breeding and Boarding Dogs
1.0 Kennel Licensing
Concerns & Comments
1. After speaking to Ms. Marilyn Pennycook on Nov. 29, 2005, I have come to
understand that kennels are being licensed as a "business". On what basis was it
established that a breeding kennel was a business? Most breeding kennels lose
money, which we all know is not a business practice.
2. What other businesses are licensed in our township? At what fee rate?
(2)
3. There are many boarding stables in this township are they regulated? Licensed?
Inspected? Most boarding stables are in business to make a profit.
4. What about beef fanners? The ones I know raise cattle for a living therefore it's a
business. Are they regulated? Licensed? Inspected?
Under 1.4 requirements for applying for a license for breeding purposes:
Section "1.4.2 A written, up-to-date approval from the Ont. SPCA with any costs
involved borne by the applicant; to ensure compliance with this bylaw:"
Concerns & Comments:
1. What accreditation or education is required of the staff by the Ont. SPCA to
qualify them for their job?
2. Do they have special training that makes them experts in animal care and
housing?
3. Is it legal to require that an arms length third party (non government) be used to
give an approval for a fee to comply with a municipal bylaw?
4. Under the authority of the OSPCA Act the OSPCA inspector can only enter your
property if they have a search warrant. Without a warrant the inspector must
observe an animal in immediate distress to enter. One of the provisos for an
inspector to remove an animal from your property is "if a veterinarian has
examined the animal and advised in writing that the health and well being of the
animal necessitates it's removal." This suggests to me that a veterinarian is more
qualified to comment on an animal's welfare and housing then an inspector for the
OSPCA. What is the reasoning behind limiting this inspection to a less qualified
individual?
5. Is the township prepared to guarantee that the OSPCA inspector will not bring
infectious diseases to my kennel? After all they work with animals that have been
abandoned, mistreated and rescued from all manner of locations.
Section "1.7 All applications for a license and renewal of a license require inspections, by
the Township of Oro-Medonte's Fire Department and BuildinglBy-law Enforcement
Department or designate, to ensure compliance with all applicable legislative
requirements."
(3)
Concerns & Comments
1. If I have erected a building for which I had a building permit and I have been
granted occupancy what is the purpose of this inspection?
2. I called the township office and spoke to Mr. Bruce Hoppe last week and was
informed that to the best of his knowledge there are no set criteria for kennel
buildings or premises. I questioned how the construction of buildings that house
animals are governed and I was informed, "under the building code". If this is
true, why do we need annual inspections?
3. Annual inspections of my dog premises. What if I do not have a structure? What
then is the reason for the inspection? Is the township insured to cover these
inspections?
4. Why fire inspections on kennel structures? How many kennel fires have there
been over the past 5 years versus barn fires?
5. Will a bylaw enforcement officer be touring all the kennels? Will that same bylaw
enforcement officer be able to guarantee me that he will not bring infectious
diseases to my kennel? Will the township be prepared to cover the cost of
veterinarian bills and livestock losses should any of my valuable breeding stock
perish from an infectious disease brought to my premises by their staff?
2.0 Maximum Number of Dogs
2.1 The maximum number of dogs permitted in anyone kennel for which a
Breeding Kennel License has been issued shall not exceed 25 dogs.
Comments and Concerns
1. Some breeds have very small litters (e.g. Pekinese) and require minimal
space by the very nature of their size. A limit of 25 dogs here is probably a
lofty limit.
2. Other breeds used for hunting or sled dog racing need a succession
program to replace aging or injured stock. Many of these breeds have large
litters of 6 to 10 puppies. A limit of 25 dogs in this case is very restrictive
to a quality, breeding program.
(4)
3. Why are we targeting dog kennels? Are cats licensed in this township?
What about catteries?
2.2 The maximum number of dogs permitted in anyone kennel for which a
Boarding Kennel License has been issued shall not exceed 50 dogs.
And
2.3 The maximum number of dogs permitted in anyone kennel for which a
Boarding Kennel License has been issued shall not exceed 50 dogs.
Comments & Concerns
1. Do we restrict the amount of money businesses are able to generate in this
township?
2. Are all other businesses licensed in this township?
3. Perhaps if all businesses were licensed in this township the fees could be much
lower for all and the income for the township would be much greater.
3.0 Confinement of Dogs
3.1 All dogs shall be confined inside the kennel structure during the hours of 11:00
p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
Comments & Concerns
1. According to information 1 gathered from staff there is no criterion for a kennel
structure. If there is no structure how is this part of the bylaw enforceable?
2. This bylaw contains nothing denoting structure requirements.
3. Confining dogs inside a structure for long periods of time increases the likelihood
of the spread of disease and reduces the amount of fresh air and exercise they
receive.

Dear Sirs and Madams:
Re: Animal Control Bv-Law No. 2005-119
I am writing to object to the application of Section 2.0 of By-Law No. 2005-119, "A By-
law to regulate, license and control animals within the Township of Oro-Medonte,"
applying to the operation of The Royal Pets Hotel. My wife and I are the principal
shareholders of The Royal Pets Hotel Limited which owns The Royal Pets Hotel, a cat
and dog boarding kennels. We have been established here since 1981 and we operate
a first-class facility for the accommodation of pets. We attended the public meeting
which was held on the evening of Wednesday, November 16, 2005. We are writing this
letter in response to your recommendation that interested parties should write with
respect to their concerns to the proposed changes in the above by-law.
Our primary concern is that the number of animals which we board here should remain
the same and not be limited by the new by-law. We have 26 units available for cats
and 64 units available for dogs: each unit is designed to encompass up to 4 pets from
one family, but the average occupancy per unit is normally far less than this.
We spoke to Mr. Bruce Hoppe, Director of Planning, just before the meeting and he
assured us that it was not Council's intention to limit boarding to 50 dogs in respect of
premises such as our own, since we would benefit from the so-called "grand-parenting"
status. This viewpoint was confirmed by conversations we had just after the meeting
with two other municipal officers and Mrs. Ruth Fountain, Ward 5 Councillor, and Mr.
Harry Hughes, Deputy Mayor.

Would you please confirm that By-law No. 2005-119 will be amended to provide for an
exemption or exception for the operation of The Royal Pets Hotel from the provisions of
section 2.0 thereof. We would appreciate receiving a copy of any proposed
amendments to the by-law, which would accommodate our concerns.
Yours very truly,

Subject: Mayor & Members of Council of Oro'Medonte - Licensing of Dogs and Kennels
November 30. 2005.
Mayor & Council of Oro-Medonte:
In respect to "dog legislation - by-law:"
Does the township realize the emotional stress they are placing on owners of more than two dogs?
When we were part of Orillia Township, we were told we could own more than two dogs and that when boundaries
changed, we could continue to own dogs as long as they were licensed and under owner's control.
Dogs are often the comfort zone for people who love them as part of their family and to expect someone to give up a
beloved member of their family because they have more than two is unfair. I agree they should require a licence and kept
under control of the owner. People wishing to move into the area would possibly be forced to go elsewhere; if they where
not aware of your by law, they would be expected to part with a family member. Trust me, dogs are family members to
those who love them.
Should a kennel owner who wishes to retire and owns more than two dogs at that time and does not wish to part with them
be forced to do so? We were planning on retiring in a couple of years and would not part with dogs we have; so would we
be exempt and granted an exception to this by law or do we have to keep a kennel licence until such time numbers are
down to two?
If we would be granted such an exception, I would appreciate this in writing at this time.
Reply requested.
Thank you,
Jeanalee Kanis

Re: proposed recommendations on changes to Schedule "B" of the Animal Control By-law - Regulating and Licensing of Kennels for
Breeding and Boarding Dogs re meeting held at the Township of Oro-Medonte on November 16th, 2005.
Some Opinions.....
This appears to be a blatant cash grab by the counsel. The huge increase in licensing fees is absurd. Why should small kennel owners
be lumped in with large operations. What and whose current inspection fee guide lines are you using. What size municipality are you
comparing with? The $50.00 fee could have been raised to $75.00 which would have been reasonable.
Two inspections a year - not needed. Why is our kennel required to be inspected by the fire department? Does the fire marshal inspect
every house that is built. Are not children just as important as animals. These kennels that were built had to pass all the building code
regulations and inspections in order to operate as a kennel.
One inspection by Ontario SPCA. We object most strongly to OSPCA staff coming in . Most reputable breeders are not operating pupp:
mills. These inspectors could come in from any location where they might have been doing OSPCA work, carrying a virus on their
shoes and clothes and infect your kennel. We do not wanl to see a lifetimes work go down the drain because of other peoples
carelessness. Diseases can be spread very easily especially Parvo. If that comes in you would lose your kennel overnight and that is a
fact.
We would suggest one inspection every three years by a township by- law officer is all that is required.
It is not necessary for dogs kept in small breeding kennels that they be vaccinated for Rabies. It is a proven factor that veterinarians
have suggested that dogs over two years of age do nol require a rabies shot. The majority of Dog breeding kennels and boarding kennel:
are run by law abiding citizens who have the dogs best interests at heart.
There was also a suggestion, on record, by the Mayor that an ad hoc committee be formed including residents of Oro-Medonte
Township who had a vested interesl in these by-law amendments to further investigate the proposals that the residents brought up. In
your letter we see no mention of that whatsoever!
We feel that these proposals still need further discussion for them to be fair and equitable for the small kennel owner. The tone of

His Worship and Honourable Members of Council:
Pursuant to the public meeting of November 16,2005 and a letter dated November 24, 2005 issued by J.
Zieleniewski C.A.O., please find herewith my written submissions supplementary to my oral submissions
of November 16, 2005 on the matter of the proposed By-Law # 2005-119 "Animal Control By-Law".
I have been a resident of Oro Township since 1983 and have bred and exhibited C.K.e. registered English
Springer Spaniels since 1991. I operate a small scale, select breeding program and usually maintain
between two to five dogs of varying stages from puppy to breeding stock to pensioners. I also on occasion
rescue, rehabilitate, re-socialise and re-home dogs which have fallen into unfortunate circumstances. I
have hred only three litters of puppies in fourteen years, yielding a total of 17 puppies, half of which I have
kept for my own exhibition and preservation of my bloodline. I am NOT a "business" as suggested in your
letter of Nov. 24105. I am a dog fancier engaged in the hobby of exhibiting and on occasion breeding top
quality sporting dogs and personal companion animals. My dogs have won numerous conformation and
obedience awards and some are engaged in bringing joy, unconditional love and healing to the less
fortunate as pet therapy dogs. I have never yet made a profit on any of my litters. I consider it great fortune
if I manage to break even. I work full-time at a non-canine related occupation to support my canine hobby
and my dogs live in my house with me as cherished members of my family. While I am away at work my
dogs are housed in a bright, heated/cooled kennel building with indoor/outdoor runs, dry-deck flooring and
music. I am NOT a "puppy mill."
I take exception to the proposed By-Law 2005-119 and the accompanying unreasonable restrictions and
unnecessarily bloated annual licensing fees. This By-Law represents a single-minded persecution of dog
fanciers to the exclusion of all else. No restrictions/licensing requirements are included to address cat
owners, horse owners, boarding/riding stable operators and animal "collectors" who harbour several
species (birds, goats, donkeys, etc.) often in filth and squalor or even exotics such as large cats - a recent
livestock killing in Oro-Medonte was attributed to a cougar alleged to have escaped from a private
collector. This By-Law can at the most charitable interpretation be viewed as reactive law designed to
prevent the dreaded puppy mills, an inadequate bureaucratic afterthought to hastily comply with Municipal
Act legislation or at worst a punitive attack on responsible dog owners. Puppy mill operators will not
register their kennels with the township or comply with By-law requirements/restrictions/inspections. They
operate clandestinely and do not want you to know they exist. The Township is targeting the wrong
people with this proposed By-law.
Reactive law is generally bad law in that it is most often ill thought out, without the consultation/input of
experts and hastily drafted, often by people who have little or no knowledge of the intricacies of the matter
at hand. Overly restrictive laws have the opposite effect of driving people underground and making scoff-
laws of them and at the end of the day it is ultimately the dogs who will be made to suffer in silence.
I implore your Worship and the Honourable Members of Council to create an ad-hoc committee and draw
upon the expertise of the decades of years of experience offered to you by those concerned who attended
the public meeting. You have the opportunity to benefit from members of the Canadian Kennel Club
executive, internationally recognised conformation judges, professional boardingibreeding kennel
operators, veterinarians and a host of others concerned with the welfare of dogs and good canine
citizenship. To this end, I would be more than pleased to assist Council as part of this committee,
however, should Council elect to not avail themselves of the expertise offered by various members of the
community, I include herewith a clause-by-clause critique for your consideration:
2.4 The defmition of "breeding" should not be limited to "pure-bred". Mutts such as Cock-a-Poo's,
Golden-Doodles etc. are popular "products" for puppy mills. These dogs cannot be registered as "pure-
bred" but are often sold by unscrupulous breeders as such.
2.16 "Prohibited Animal" should be expanded to include exotics such as cougars, lions etc.
4.3 The limit on the number of dogs should be re-assessed. It may well be reasonable to place a limit of2
dogs in a densely populated residential subdivision (The City Barrie has a limit of 3) however, I
question the appropriateness of such an arbitrary restriction on residents of farms and larger land
holdings. People move to rural areas to engage in rural pursuits - one such pursuit is the keeping of
dogs and engaging in dog sports. It is umeasonable to apply urban sentiments to rural lifestyles. There
needs to be some middle-ground that recognises the rights uf individuals to own dogs and engage in
country pursuits and balances the rights of other residents.
7.5 This section should include that a reasonable attempt be made to locate the owner it would be a
travesty if someone's beloved pet slipped it's collar and tags and was for example, hit by a car,
receiving minor injuries but was disposed of without any attempt or opportunity for the owner to be
found.
1.4.3 Rabies vaccinations are good for three years, and as such there should he provision for proof of
vaccination within a three-year period. Also, a letter of exemption from a veterinarian should be
acceptable if it is not in the best interests of the dog to be vaccinated.
1. 7 Breeding kennels should not be subject to renewal inspections annually if operated on a small scale. It
is reasonable to inspect large-scale public boarding kennels for safety and care, but it is superfluous to
inspect someone who keeps only a few dogs in their homes.
1.13 Licenses should be transferable. It is umeasonable and illogical to impose legislation requiring
people to build kennels for boarding I breeding which requires significant capital investment,
consider those operations to be "businesses" requiring licensing and inspections, and yet fetter the
"business" operator's ability to sell his investment as a viable business operation at some point in the
future.
2.1 The maximum number of dogs is arbitrary and should be re-assessed to take into consideration the
needs of sled racing kennels and other dog sports that require numerous dogs at varying ages and
stages of training.
2.2 The maximum number of dogs is arbitrary and poses an umeasonable restriction on a "business" to
generate income.
Schedule "A" Breeding Kennel license renewal should remain at $ 50.00 without the annual inspection or
be pro-rated to recognise the smaller breeding kennel e.g. 3 - 10 dogs. Annual inspections
are for the most part unnecessary for most breeders. It may be reasonable for a complaint to
generate an inspection, the $ 75.00 fee levied against the kennel owner with a subsequent
follow-up inspection to ensure compliance. Inspections must take into consideration that the breeding
kennel operator usually is employed and must occur during reasonable hours.
. '
Licensing fees should be discounted to encourage micro-chipping of dogs. This is a tremendous
aid in identification and rescue. e.g. $ 20.00 for an intact doglbitch reduced to $ 15.00 for one that is
micro-chipped.
Your Worship and Honourable Members of Council, you have before you now an opportunity to not just
ape the by-laws of other municipalities, but to show innovation and leadership in drafting legislation that is
balanced, reasonable, just and above-all humane to both dogs and the people who love them.

Attn: Mayor and Members of Council
Dear Members of the Council:
Re: Proposed By-Law No. 2005-119
"Animal Control By-Law"
I appreciated the opportunity afforded myself and others in the Township to
express our concerns regarding this amendment.
As the owner of a boarding kennel, which has always abided by the by-laws,
I am concerned that we are being targeted as the only business in the Township that
requires a license to operate. How many child day-cares operate in Oro-Medonte with no
license, and no inspection? I suggest that this would be a more beneficial and important
area to look at instead of the kennel (breedingfboarding) people who have a lot tied up in
their dogs and facility both in dollars and emotional attachment, and try to do the best for
our animals. There are many locations in the Township that keep other species for show
and breeding they require no license. Although they do not call it boarding, how many
farms have cattle, horses, etc at their locations that are not owned by them? They are
taking monies for caring for them, this is boarding is it not? Do they need a license? It
would seem that the canine business is being targeted for no apparent reason.
The License fee of $155.00, in my case is a 55% increase. If I raised my fees by
55%, I would loose clients, as they could not afford to kennel their pet. This would put
me out of business. How is this encouraging small business in our community? I already
pay commercial property tax, which is a substantial amount; then to have a 55% increase
for a kennel license seems to be just a money grab.
The proposed 50 dog limit severely restricts my ability to earn a living. My
boarding/grooming is my sole source of income, I do not work outside the kennel, nor do
I have a spouse who brings in an income. I presently have 10 dogs of my own. Some are
old and living out their lives. Others are currently in the breeding program and being
shown. Still others are the young up and coming dogs that are not ready to show or breed.
This would, under the proposed by-law limit me to 40 boarding dogs. One can not
operate a business and make a reasonable income if you take into consideration the
commercial taxes, insurance, veterinary fees and the ever rising operating and upkeep
expenses if there is a limited put on our ability to make an income. A license has been
issued to permit a business, there should be no restriction on the amount of business we
do. You would not limit the number of travel trailers a dealer can have at his location, or
the number he can sell. Why is this happening with kennels? If there is a concern about
over crowding, that is an issue for the Humane Society.
Concerning the inspections proposed, I do not allow persons in my facility if they
have been visiting other locations without a complete change of clothing and footwear.
This applies to anyone, as it is a health issue and they could unknowingly contaminate
my premises and the dogs housed here if they have previously been to another location
that has a possible health issue, either known or unknown. I will not under any
circumstance put animals in my care at that risk.
I would suggest that if the present by-laws were enforced, they would do a fine
job for us. People who have show and breeding dogs are not the ones allowing their dogs
to run loose; we value them far too much. If there is a particular problem with anyone
operation, that is the one that should be addressed. Please don't make it any harder for
~e legitimate business person to make a living then it already is.
I know that if you look at the proposed by-law from a business view point, you
will see that it is limiting, and certainly goes against free enterprise. We are not getting
rich doing this work, but we do enjoy it. What more can one ask?
Thank you

II ANALYSIS:
$20,609.00
II
While it is the desire of the municipality that rental rates cover the eost to operate the recreation facilities of the
Township it should be note that the arena facilities are utilized on a scheduled rental basis only; while the
Township realizes some revenues from the municipal parks and ball diamonds the park and ball diamonds are
also utilized by the public has an open recreational space.
To assist Council with respect to their deliberations a chart representing the rental rates charged by the other
surrounding municipalities for similar facilities has been compiled (Attachment #1). The comparable rates
from attachment #] have been recalculated to determine the average rental rates including GST for similar
activities and compared to the Townships 2005 rental rates.
Based on the review it is recommended to Council that Council give favourable consideration to increasing the
ice rental rates by 10 percent to realign with the other surrounding municipalities effective September 1 st, 2006
to allow the users groups an opportunity to complete the 2005- 2006 season.

TOWNSHIP OF ORO-MEDONTE
REPORT
Dept. Report No. To: Prepared By:
ADM 2005-61 Committee of the Whole Marilyn Pennycook, Clerk
Subject: Department:
Council Administration
Election 2006
C.ofW. Method of Voting Date:
December 14, 2005
Motion # A.M. File #:
Date: RolI#:
II BACKGROUND:
II
After investigation and debate the method of voting used in the Township of Oro-Medonte's
municipal election of 2003 was the formal method using polling stations and ballots.
The Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario (AMCTO) have made
available a summary entitled, "Review of Voting and Vote Tabulation Alternatives" from the 2003
Municipal Election [Attachment #1]. The review lists the various voting alternatives used by
municipalities, pros, cons and comments.
Also, the Clerks of Simcoe County have communicated to each other their views on various methods
used and the shortcomings and benefits of each.
II ANALYSIS:
II
On analysis the following information is deemed to be pertinent to the decision making of Council:
Telephone Voting:
Bell Canada is not currently offering this service.
Mail-in Ballots with Manual Count:
This method of voting gives the elector ease of access in casting their vote, It also eliminates
traditional advance voting. There are less election staff to train as Deputy Returning Officers and Poll
Clerks. However, increased staffing is required for the actual count of the votes as they cannot be
counted until 8:00 p.m. Election Day and in this method are counted by hand, The major
shortcomings of this method are the costs involved and the lack of supervision during the actual vote
by the elector (scrutineers). This method also relies on Canada Post for mail out and delivery on
time for Election Day.
Mail-in Ballots with Optical Scan Tabulating:
The optical scan tabulators used in this method of voting drastically reduce the time needed to count
the votes cast. However, there is a cost for the equipment that further adds to the overall
expenditure.
Internet Voting:
This is a relatively new method of voting used in 2003 by only one municipality. The costs are
understandably reduced; however the method is new and must be used with at least one other voting
system since every elector does not have access to the internet. Alternatives are being researched
to bring this method of voting closer to being a viable option for more municipalities (i.e. central
internet sites).
Optical Scan - Poll Counters:
The optical scan equipment used in this method, in conjunction with polling stations, has been used
by a variety of municipalities and found to be a successful way to eliminate a manual count after
polling stations close at 8:00 p.m. on Election Day. Electors are required to attend a polling station to
cast their vote. Therefore the process may be scrutinized up to, but not including, the count.
Tabulators are however expensive dependant on the number required (polling stations).
Optical Scan - Central Count:
The equipment currently being used in this count method is not being supported by vendors and new
equipment has not been introduced. Vendors are moving to Poll Counters as described above.
Council authorized, in the 2005 budget, the purchase of Datafix software to ensure that the voting list
that will be used for the 2006 Municipal Election will be the most accurate possible. The
implementation of this software will also give a more accurate count of electors and their locations.
As a method of further increasing the accuracy of the Oro-Medonte election process, it is further
recommended that staff investigate the cost of optical san poll counters to be used in the 2006
municipal election for Council's consideration in their 2006 budget deliberations
It is recommended that the formal method of voting using polling stations and paper ballots be
implemented for the 2006 Oro-Medonte Municipal Election.
2
I RECOMMENDATION(S):
It is recommended that:
1. Report ADM 2005-061 be received and adopted,
2. That the formal election method using polling stations and ballots be utilized for the 2006 Oro-
Medonte Municipal Election.
3. That staff investigate the cost of optical san poll counters to be used in the 2006 municipal
election for Council's consideration in their 2006 budget deliberations

Request for Speed Reduction Public Works
C.ofW, - Eady Station Road Date:
December 7, 2005
Motion # RM. File #:
T08-12728
Date: RolI#:
Ii BACKGROUND:
II
Correspondence dated August 4, 2005 (attached) was received from Ms. Jackie Whiston requesting
that the present speed limit of 80 km/h be reduced to 50 km/h along Eady Station Road. Local
residents strongly believe that the increased usage of the Eady Community Hall, along with the
increase in general traffic, has now created a concern with speeding vehicles.
This 1.5 km. gravel sideroad is located between Line 10 North and Line 11 North and provides
access to 17 local residents and the Eady Community Hall. Traveling east on Eady Station Road
from the Line 10 North intersection for approximately .5 km, motorists will encounter two (2) 900
horizontal curves, as well as a signalized C.P.R. crossing.
An updated traffic count was completed in October of 2005, producing a result of 127 vehicles per
day.
II ANALYSIS:
~
In considering this request, a site visit was completed to review the stopping site distance and safety
concerns along Eady Station Road. The.5 km. section traveling east from Line 10 North can be
safely traveled at a 30 km/h speed and the remaining 1 km. stretch of Eady Station Road can be
traveled safely at 80 km/h, as this section is level, straight and visibility is good. Therefore, it is
recommended that new curve signs, with a suggested 30 km/h tab, be erected to properly advise
motorists of the horizontal curves. These signs will be an addition to the existing C.P.R. crossing
signs and Children Playing signs.
t RECOMMENDATION(S):
\0, - J..
II
1. THAT Report No. PW2005..25 be received and adopted.
2. THAT the Public Works Department erects new curve signs, complete with a 30 km/h advisory
tab, to warn motorists of the horizontal curves on Eady Station Road.
3. THAT the existing speed limit of 80 km/h remains status quo on Eady Station Road.
4. AND THAT the Public Works Superintendent advises Ms. Jackie Whiston of Council's decision.
Respectfully submitted,
Jerry Ball
Public Works Superintendent

Hi Jackie. As you can see] have forwarded this request for a 50 kph speed limit on the Eady Station Road to ou
Clerk and Members of Council for inclusion in our next meeting agenda.
We do have a meeting on August 10th. and ] am sure that at that time the request will be sent to staff for a repon
and recommendation. ] do agree with you and with the volume of traffic that the hall renovations have created
50 kph is not unreasonable on this road.

Dear Ralph...
Sorry I don't know your .councillor" email account, so I hope you don't mind ill contact you at your home one.
As mentioned to you by several 01 us during the recent meeting 01 the Eady Hall Board, I am very concerned with the
careless and high speed driving that is occurring on the Eady Station Road. As you know the road has several twists
and turns which makes it very difficult tor a pedestrian or bicyclist to hear a vehicle coming and also lor a vehicle
travelling at a high speed to be able to react quickly to avoid a pedestrian, bicyclist, or persons that may be exiting a
vehicle or crossing the road when using the Eady Community Hall. Over the last several months, Charles Lowe, others
and mysell have observed on MANY occasions, how quickly lolks are now driving on this usually quiet side road. We
are concerned for the safety 01 the children who live and visit here and also for persons who might just be out for a walk,
a bike ride or trying to park their vehicles along side the Hall. I strongly believe that the area's population, the location 0
the community hall (on a blind corner) and the winding design at the road warrant the posting of reasonable speed limit
signs. I would recommend a 50 km/hr 20ne for the entire length of the Eady Stafion Road. Once signs have been
posted then hopefully vehicles will Slow Down. But... if they do not, then at least we will have some means for
requesting enforcement and hopefully increasing the safety of this lovely rural setting.
Although Eady is probably deemed to be a lairly insignificant area with regards to the rest of this large township, I still fe.
that the safety 01 those that live and visit here is ullimately still very imponant and would request that you take these
concerns and this request forward to councillor their due consideration.
Your assistance with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
ORO.MEOONTE TOWNSHIP

I BACKGROUND:
II
Mr. Dave Seaman of Paige Custom Homes Inc. is proposing to construct a single family home at 71
Barrie Terrace. As this portion of Barrie Terrace has not been assumed by the Township, the Owner
must enter into a Site Plan Agreement and the Holding Symbol must be removed, prior to the
issuance of a Building Permit.
II ANALYSIS:
II
The Site Plan Committee reviewed Mr. Seaman's application on November 4, 2005. The concern of
the Committee was the required setback of the proposed house and the average high water level of
Lake Simcoe. It was confirmed that the setback was not sufficient and Mr. Seaman required, and
was granted, a minor variance by the Committee of Adjustment on December 1, 2005. Township
staff had no concerns with the proposal.
II RECOMMENDATION(S):
~
1. THAT Report No. EES2005-43 be received and adopted.
2. THAT the Township of Oro-Medonte enters into a Site Plan Agreement with Paige Custom
Homes Inc. to construct a single family home at 71 Barrie Terrace.
3. THAT the Clerk prepares a By-law for Council's consideration to enter into a Site Plan
Agreement.
4. THAT the Clerk prepares a By-law for Council's consideration to remove the Holding Symbol.
5. AND THAT Mr. Seaman of Paige Custom Homes Inc. be notified of Council's decision.

Ontario Strategic Engineering and

C.ofW, Authority (OSIFA) - Low-Cost Date:
and Longer Term Loans for December 6, 2005
Motion # Infrastructure Projects until RM, File #:
February, 2006 E03-25330
Date: RolI#:
II BACKGROUND:
~
OSIFA is a provincially-driven incentive to provide an innovative financial vehicle to make funding
available to Ontario municipalities to renew and rebuild public infrastructure.
OSIFA currently prioritizes a number of municipal infrastructure projects for funding, one of which is
municipal sewage.
II ANALYSIS:
II
Attached for Council's perusal is an insert from the "Environmental Commissioner's Report 2004-
2005" prepared by Mr. Gord Miller, Environmental Commissioner of Ontario. From his review of the
"Land Application of Septage", Mr. Miller is urging the M.O.E. to accelerate action to finalize the
regulatory framework for septage, part of which would require municipalities to prepare a strategy on
how they will manage untreated septage produced within their area. As part of his report, Mr. Miller
has noted the new Provincial Policy Statement (PPS), which came into effect on March 1, 2005,
stating new development on septic systems must plan for adequate septage treatment capacity prior
to approval.
With the proposed new regulations coming and with the existing PPS, the Township should start
reviewing septage treatment options that are available to the Township within its own boundaries and
adjoining municipalities, as well as possible funding available through OSIFA.
Totten Sims Hubicki Associates has provided a cost estimate proposal of $10,500.00, plus G.S.T., to
explore septage treatment options and to provide for a long-term strategy for the disposal of
Township-generated septage, which would include capital and operating costs.
In the past year, I have had informal conversations with both the City of Barrie and City of Orillia with
respect to their capacity to accept Township septage.
The City of Orillia is presently preparing a report to determine what capacity may be available for
septage from surrounding municipalities.
The City of Barrie currently does not service any land outside of their boundaries. A formal proposal
will need to be prepared by our municipality, with Council's endorsement, and presented to City of
Barrie staff and Council so that servicing of Oro-Medonte lands can be addressed.
II RECOMMENDATION(S):
~
1. THAT Report No, EES2005-45 be received and adopted.
2. THAT Totten Sims Hubicki Associates be commissioned to provide a proposal of options for
treatment of Township septage at a cost of $10,500,00, plus G.S.T.
3. THAT the funds for the report from TSH be committed in the 2006 Budget.
4. AND THAT the City of Barrie and the City of Orillia be asked to consider acceptance of Township
septage in their present capacities of their sewage treatment plants.

In the fall of 2000, the ECO received an EBR application for
review that raised concerns about the approved practice of
spreading untreated human wastes from septic tanks and
portable toilets onto farmlands. These wastes are called
septage, and because of high levels of pathogens, nutrients,
disinfectants and trace levels of other contaminants, they are a
risk to ground and surface waters. Ontario residents generate an estimat~d 1.2 million
cubic metres of septage a year, most of which is applied to farmland without treatment.
m
w
The applicants saw the need for a consistent policy and enforceable regulations, and
requested a moratorium on the practice until its safety for public health and the
environment had been studied. The Ministry of the Environment denied this application,
stating that the ministry was already carrying out an internal review of the province's
septage spreading program. In late 2000, MOE introduced a moratorium on the land
application of septage on frozen or snow-covered ground. Then in June 2001, MOE
proposed a five-year phase-out of the land application of untreated septage, as part
of a broader announcement on the Nutrient Management Act.

In November 2002, the ECO received a second application for review, focused on the
management of septage waste. The applicants requested a regulation that would
clearly set out responsibilities at all stages of the septage disposal process, starting
from the emptying of the septic tank to the establishment, operation and management
of septage treatment or disposal facilities. Given that MOE was planning to phase out
the land application of untreated septage, the applicants were worried about the lack
of alternative disposal options. In the absence of a clear legal framework for municipal
involvement, the applicants doubted that non-legislated solutions (such as private-public
partnerships) would work, and feared that neither municipalities nor the private sector

would risk investing in new septage treatment facilities. MOE also denied this review,
pointing to its new proposal to phase out land application of untreated septage.
In December 2002, MOE posted a proposal for a regulation to address septage on the
Registry, featuring a commitment to ban the land application of untreated septage
by 2007. However, most aspects of this measure remain at the proposal stage as of
April 2005. The only finalized component is a ban on the land application of untreated
portable toilet waste, which took effect in October 2003. (For a description of this
measure, see the 2003/2004 Supplement, page 131.)
Components that have not yet been finalized include:
o a five-year phase out of the issuing of certificates of approval for the land application
of untreated septage.
o extension of the winter spreading restrictions and land application standards
included in the proposed Stage 2 Regulatory requirements under the Nutrient
Management Act.
o a requirement that municipalities prepare a strategy on how they will manage
untreated septage produced within their area.
In early 2005, the ECO requested an update on MOE's proposed strategy for septage.
MOE reconfirmed in March 2005 that "the ministry is committed to end the.land
application of untreated septage." But it appears the phase-out deadline of 2007 has
been set aside. The ministry described its ongoing work, including extensive consultation
with stakeholders such as municipalities, support for a pilot project with Grey County
in 2004, and work with partners on a pilot project examining lime stabilization of
septage (to be completed by spring 2005). A team of technical staff from MOE and
the Ministry of Agriculture and Food are also working to develop standards for three
septage treatment methods: lime stabilization, composting and lagoon storage. Although
there is no estimate of when draft standards will be ready, the ministry has committed
to posting them on the Registry for public comment.

While MOE has not updated the December 2002 Registry proposal. the province has
taken some steps toward clarifying municipal responsibility for septage management
through the new Provincial Policy Statement (PP5), which came into effect on March
1,2005. The PP5 includes new language (in section 1.6.4.1 e) stating that subdivision
for lot creation is allowed only if there is confirmation of sufficient reserve sewage
system capacity, including treatment capacity for septage, and further specifies that
land-applying untreated septage is not considered sufficient. In effect, this language
means that municipalities wanting to approve new developments on septic systems
must plan for adequate septage treatment capacity (which could in practice be provided
by the private sector).

MOE's announcements thus far, coupled with the concerns of septage haulers, have
spurred several counties (Grey, Wellington, Huron) and the City of Kingston to begin
some coordinated planning for septage management on a voluntary basis. However,
it is not clear whether municipalities will be required to plan for septage treatment
capacity for existing development. As a consequence, Ontario's defa ult disposal option
remains the land application of untreated septage. MOE continues to approve new sites
for this practice, despite its intention of phasing it out eventually. Even land application
on frozen ground is not formally prohibited by regulation, and is still allowed on a
case-by-case "emergency" basis by MOE, because alternate storage capacity for septage
is simply not available at times.
Across Canada, a number of provinces have already banned the land application of
untreated septage, including British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Quebec and
Newfoundland and labrador. MOE evidently has a great deal of work still to do on
defining acceptable treatment standards for septage that is destined for land application.
Until clear rules are in place, municipalities and the private sector will be reluctant
to invest in the construction of alternative treatment capacity. In the Port Rowan area
of Ontario, for example, the shortage of septage disposal capacity has already resulted
in steep increases in costs of septic tank pump-outs, and there are fears that some
property owners may resort to illegal and environmentally damaging solutions to
empty their tanks.
The ECO urges MOE to accelerate action on this file, and to finalize a regulatory
framework for septage that is protective of public health and the environment.

Update: Great Lakes Water Resources Agreements
The Great lakes, bordered by eight states and two provinces in the heart of North
America, are the largest system of fresh surface water anywhere on planet Earth.
These lakes are the lifeblood of Ontario, the source of drinking water for nearly
three-quarters of Ontario's population. The Great lakes basin is home to most of
the province's human population and most of its biodiversity. The lakes also provide
water for power generation, transportation and manufacturing for 45 per cent of
Canada's industries. We rely on them for recreation, inspiration and prosperity.
In 1985, an agreement was struck between Ontario, Quebec, and the eight U.S. states
that border the Great lakes (through the Council of Great lakes Governors) to address
water levels and flows and the environment of the Great lakes basin. This agreement,
the Great lakes Charter, committed the provinces and states to work to protect the

Dear Keith:
RE: Township ofOro-Medonte
Septage Treatment Options
Proposal for Engineering Services
TSR Pro.ject No. 44-00000188
With reference to our meeting of November 21, 2005, we are pleased to provide you with a cost estimate for
preparing a report that will address the various options that are available to the Township for dealing with
septic tank waste (septage) which is generated in the Township.
The report will calculate the quantities of septage that have [0 he handled and will also look at the organic
concentrations of the material such that treatment options can be considered. A numher of options will be
looked at, such as treatment althe Horseshoe Valley STP or the recommissioned Edgar Centre plan!, or a
neW septage treatment lagoon. The report will generate capital as well as operating and maintenance COStS
and will address the environmental assessment issues for each alternative.
Our fee estimate for the assignment is $10,000 plus $500 for dishursements, exclusive of OST. Our
estimate includes an allowance for presentation of the report to Councilor Committee, to explain the
contents and respond to any queries. We would invoice you for our actual hours worked and consider
$10,000 to be an upsellimit.
We could commence work on this project as soon as you give us the approval to proceed and we could have
the report to you in two months.
If you have any questions on this proposal, please give us a call.
Yours very truly,
