This survey of the residents of the Barrie
Detachment area was conducted as an evaluation
tool with the support and input of the community
we police. The issues and areas of public concern
identified will be analyzed with the assistance of our
Community Policing Committee. I assure you the
results of this survey will be thoroughly evaluated
and will help in the formulation of future Business
Plans. I look forward to the continued support of
the Municipality of Oro-Medonte and working
closely with community representatives. In my view
2005 was a very successful yearfor the Barrie OPP
and the residents of Oro-Medonte.
Thank you for your assistance.

About the Policing For Results Survey
The Policing for Results Survey (PFR) is a tool for
gathering public opinion on policing issues and
ratings of OPP service delivery. The surveys are
prepared and coordinated through the Operational
Research and Development Bureau of the OPP.
Local volunteers gathered data for the Barrie PFR
by telephoning a representative sample of Barrie
residents and asking them a series of questions of
the three following types:
. Questions dealing with the respondents'
perceptions of their community.
. Questions dealing with their awareness of the
OPP as part of the community.
. Questions asking about the respondents'
satisfaction with the OPP's investigation of crime
and law enforcement.
Overall results showed that:
. 95.8 per cent of respondents felt that they live in
a community where neighbours help each other,
Policing For Results
l\0\ ~ \1..\
96.7 per cent said they get along with them
and 95.7 per cent felt their neighbours could be
trusted.
. Perceptions of selected violent crimes ranged
from 5.1 per cent of the respondents believing
that sexual assault was a problem to 11.7 per cent
believing that domestic violence was a problem.
. Perceptions of youth issues ranged from 7.2
per cent of the respondents believing that
youth gangs were a problem to 42.5 per cent of
the respondents believing that a lack of youth
activities/ programs was a problem.
. The respondents felt safe in the community with
all of the community security measures being at
the positive end of the scale with average values
of at least 3 out of a possible 4.
. All ratings of the OPP in the community were at
the satisfactory level.
. Ratings of OPP service were good with all ratings
of OPP enforcement of laws and investigation of
crime being at the "satisfied" or better level.

About the Policing For Results Survey
The Policing for Results Survey (PFR) is a tool for
gathering public opinion on policing issues and
ratings of OPP service delivery. It can serve as a
report card detailing how the people served by the
opp rate that service, as a gauge of public concern
about crime and policing issues, as a means to
measure public awareness of policing matters, and
as an indicator for making improvements to police
services.
The PFR was introduced in 1999. Changes were
made to the 2001 version to correct technical and
practical problems found in the 1999 version and
to make the survey questions more consistent. For
example, all of the rating scales have been changed
from a five-point scale to a four-point scale,
eliminating the "neutral" point and labelling each
of the four points. A larger value signals a more
favourable result.
Method
How the Data was Collected
Volunteers who live in the community served by
the Barrie OPP, and who were not employees of the
OPP, conducted the PFR surveys.
Surveying was done from the Barrie OPP
detachment offices using commercially available
telephone survey software. Local volunteers were
trained in the use of the telephone survey software
and in effective survey techniques. Surveying of the
Barrie community took place from November 22,
2004 to November 15, 2005.
Respondents' telephone numbers were chosen from
a database of residential telephone numbers. All
municipalities within each detachment boundary
were sampled in proportion to their population.
Within each municipality the telephone numbers
were selected randomly.
To give all eligible members of any household an
opportunity to take part in the survey, calling times
were set at times when people are likely to be at
home: 6 to 9 pm, Monday to Friday; 9 am to 9 pm
on Saturdays; and noon to 9 pm on Sundays.

To be eligible to complete the survey, respondents
had to live within detachment boundaries, they
had to be 16 years of age or older, and neither
they, nor any member of their household, could be
an employee of the OPP. Respondents were free
to refuse participation in the survey at any time,
for any reason. If the respondent decided not to
complete the survey, all of their responses were
eliminated and another respondent was chosen.
All respondents are anonymous, and all responses
are held in strict confidence.
The Questions Asked
The questions asked were mainly of the three
following types:
. Questions dealing with the respondents'
perceptions of their community, including
neighbourhood social cohesion, how safe they
felt in their community, and their perception of
the seriousness of violent crime, property crime,
alcohol, drug or substance abuse and youth
issues in the community.
. Questions dealing with awareness of the opp
as part of the community, including the
importance of having the same officers in the
community; satisfaction with the Opp's ability
to work with the community to solve problems;
satisfaction with the ease of contacting the
OPP; satisfaction with the Opp's visibility in the
community and on the highways; and generally
how involved the OPP are in the community.
. Questions rating how well the opp enforces
laws. In this section we measured reported rates
for OPP follow-up for reported crimes. We also
asked the respondents if they had had contact
with the OPP in the past two years as a victim,
witness, or accused/charged person for three
law enforcement situations: traffic, property
crime, and violent crime. If the respondent had
contact with the opp in any of these situations,
they were asked how satisfied they were with
this contact. Finally, all respondents were
3

"
From a Statistical Perspective
\-\c\ - \\0
asked how satisfied they were with OPP crime
investigation and enforcement oflaws such
as, enforcing drunk driving laws, investigating
property crime, investigating violent crime, or
handling nuisance activity.
With the exception of the identifying questions
(age, respondent home location, etc.), all
responses were either on a four-point scale or
were a two-alternative choice.
For the four-point scale, a larger value was always
associated with a more positive result. For
example, for "satisfaction," ranging from lowest
rating to most positive rating, the four points
are: 1) "very dissatisfied," 2) "dissatisfied," 3)
"satisfied," and 4) "very satisfied."
The two-alternative choices always took the form
"yes/no," or "agree/disagree."

Sample Size and the Reliability of Our Results
"In earlier times, they had no statistics, and so they had to fall back on lies. "
STEPHEN LEACOCK
You live in an OPP-policed area with a fairly large
population. If we wanted to know exactly how the
people in your area rated OPP service and related
policing issues, we could just ask every eligible
person your PFR questions (a census). This,
however, would take far too long and be far too
expensive to carry out.
Instead, we have "sampled" the population of
people in your area by asking enough eligible
people to answer our questions so that, according
to the rules of probability and statistics, the results
for samples of that size should be within five per
cent of the population result, at least 95 times out
ohoo.
This is the best means available to obtain the
information we need to estimate how the entire
population of OPP communities would rate
OPP service and related policing issues within a
reasonable length of time within a limited budget.
As the sample size gets smaller the results become
less reliable.
In the case of the PFR, if we break the analyses
down to smaller groupings than the host
detachment level the results become less reliable.
Sometimes, what appear to be actual differences
among groupings may be due more to the
variability of scores within a grouping than to true
differences between the groupings-particularly
with small samples.
To illustrate, if we asked a group of five 10-year-
olds and a group of five ll-year-olds to rate the
same movie on a scale of 1 to lO, the results could
look as follows:
Policing For Results
10 Year Olds
2
2
2
2
10
11 Year Olds

2
The average for the lO-year-olds is 3.6 while the
average for the ll-year-olds is just 2.2. Do you
believe that the two groups actually differ, or is it
just (for example) the influence of the "lO" in the
first group that makes the averages look different?
Although this "lO" may be a legitimate rating of the
movie, it may also be chance fluctuation, or "error."
There may be a lot of reasons for error within a
sample or grouping.
One way to deal with this error is to use much
larger samples so that the influence of error
is lessened. However, in the case of the PFR,
this would mean more calls required to get the
responses for this survey.
An alternative to this is to use "tests of
significance," in which the difference between the
groups is compared to the amount of error within
the groups so we can judge, using the rules of
statistics and probability, how likely the difference
is to be not just due to chance variation. This is
where the term "statistically significant difference"
comes into play, and this is what is done in the
analyses of the PFR
For all of the PFR items reported here,
we will report the overall result for each
item as representing the host detachment.
Only if there is a "statistically significant
difference" between years, using the 95
times out of 100 convention, has that
difference been reported.

Mayor Craig, Deputy Mayor Hughes and members of council
I thank you for this opportunity to speak to you today. Of course I wouldn't be here today ifit weren't for the difficult situation our citizens
group finds itself.
I'm sure you are all aware our democratically elected group president Gerry Murfitt still lies in the critical care unit at Mt Sini hospital and
his wife Pam ill for five years is currently undergoing chemotherapy. A message relayed from Pam acknowledges with thanks for your
prayers and your support for a request for adjournment.
On behalf of our group who truly cares, I find myself here today seeking answers to questions on process in an area that is foreign to me. I
served two three year terms and don't recall ever going to the board. So my first question would be - is it the townships normal practice to
be involved legally in O.M.B. appeals? If so would the costs be born by the Municipality?
My second question would be - How does the township lawyer get to the O.M.B.? Was that a council decision? Monitoring the council
website yielded nothing, so if it wasn't a council decision, who decides?
Next, is it possible for the developer to pay for the legal representation oftownship lawyers, and is it possible for a developer to second
township staff.
Now when the township lawyer goes before the Board is his position that of working for the township or the developer?
In receiving development applications does the township plauning department make use of independent expertise?
To fund increasing operational costs does the township rely more on increasing assessments or new development? As someone who has
witnessed my second annual double digit assessment increase I shudder to think of yet another mill rate increase.
As a taxpayer, I would like to know about the township's position at the Board. What witness' will you be calling? And do you have an
estimate of a cost of a 5 day hearing?
I have an interest in the environment through a couple of groups that my wife and I belong to, so I have to ask does the township have an
environment first policy? Could you tell me how a shoreline development expansion of the urban boundary and subdivisions that require
removal of tree cover support environment first?
I would like to thank you for your time today and ask if it were possible since time is of essence if the answers to my questions could
have a written response, even by tomorrow by 4.30
In closing I would like to read a letter that was sent via Email to one of our members that seems to indicate policy relating to public
presentation. Is this really the way it happens? Since it wasn't copied to anyone else, I was just wondering? Anyway hopefully we have
complied.

Dear Premier McGuinty:
The Association of Municipalities of Ontario have expressed concerns with respect to Bill 206,
An Act to Revise the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement Systems Act. The Council of
the Township of Oro-Medonte also cannot support the praposed changes to the OMERS
pension fund contained in Bill 206 as indicated in their resolution of Council on November 9,
2005.
The Bill includes significant, potentially costly and unnecessary changes to the governance
structure including a Sponsors Corporation structured to be governed by arbitration. The Bill
would permit the creation of expensive supplementary plans to provide optional enhanced
benefits that will impose new collective bargaining obligations on municipalities, the operating
costs of which cannot yet be fully assessed. The potential impact and the possible
implications of the proposed changes to Bill 206 require consideration to ensure the interests
of employers, employees and taxpayers are protected.
Therefore on behalf of the Council of the Township of Oro-Medonte, I respectfully request the
Government of Ontario reconsider the advisability of praceeding with Bill 206 in its current
form.
Yours truly,

The Honourable John Gerretsen
Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing
777 Bay Street, 17th Floor

Dear Honourable Gerretsen:
The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) has requested that the Township of Ora-
Medonte support the Association's position with respect to Private Members Bill 123,
Transparency in Public Matters Act, 2005. AMO's response to the Bill is that reference to
municipal governments be struck from the Bill and that accountability matters be dealt with
under the Municipal Act.
Oro-Medonte views the proposed legislation dealing with notice provisions, open meetings.
minutes, and forms of meetings, etc. as creating confusion for local councils, administration
and the public. This regulatory framework is currently addressed in the Municipal Act. The
Township has ensured, thraugh the Municipal Act as well as Council's policies, that the
publiC is not only kept informed but given every opportunity to provide input in the decision
making of the municipality. Taking into account that the Municipal Act is currently under
review, it is suggested that any required modifications to accountability matters to ensure
"transparency" be encompassed in amendments to the Municipal Act.
I would therefore respectfully request, on behalf of Council of the Township of Oro-Medonte,
that the Standing Committee be urged to remove any reference to "municipal councils" or
"council committees" from the proposed legislation. I would further respectfully request that
you give consideration to voting against the Bill if this reference is not removed by the
Standing Committee.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Yours truly,

Re: Municipal liability Insurance
Dear Honourable Sir:
As you are aware, municipal insurance costs are escalating annually to the point where
they are becoming a financial hardship on a number of Ontario municipalities, including the Town
of Essex.
As a result of a review of its current insurance coverage, the Council of the Town of
Essex, at their December 6. 2005 meeting passed the following resolution and respectfully
requests your serious consideration of the suggestion contained therein:
"Moved by Deputy Mayor Dufour, seconded by Councillor Timmins that
WHEREAS, municipalities have experienced significant increases in the cost of liability insurance;
AND WHEREAS, a significant factor in the cost of municipal liability insurance relates to The
Negligence Act RS.O 1990;
AND WHEREAS, The Negligence Act RS.O. 1990 can mandate a municipality to pay 100% of a
loss when in fact they could be as little as 1 % liable;
AND WHEREAS, other Provinces have amended The Negligence Act so that only where a
Municipality is found to be at least 50% liable would the full claim be paid.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Province of Ontario be requested to amend The
Negligence Act RS.O. 1990 so that only where a Municipality is found to be at least 50% liable
would the full claim be paid.
AND FURTHER, that this resolution be circulated to AM.O., as well as to all municipalities in the
Province of Ontario for support. Carried"
Thanking you in advance for your attention to this most important municipal matter.
Yours truly,

Village Green Association

December 16,2005
Mayor and Council Members
Township of Oro-Medonte
148 Line 7 South, Box 100
Oro, ON LOL 2XO
Dear Mayor and Councillors:
The Village Green Association is the organization with responsibility for maintaining the
Village Green, a two-acre park in the heart of Shanty Bay village, a park owned by St.
Thomas Church. We privately raise the funds necessary from local residents to cut grass,
remove trees, and generally maintain the site in good order. The Village Green was the
location of last September's Shanty Bay Festival, an event that brought together over 300
residents to celebrate our community.
For some time, we have been concerned that our playground equipment is unsafe. We
have already removed a tall slide from the property. An existing old swing has three seats
in one bay, a situation that is now considered unsafe, and a smaller climbing structure
with swings and broken slide is not up to safe standards. These structures must be
replaced with modern, code-compliant equipment.
The Village Green Association has asked a group of parents and grandparents to work
with Township staff to develop a plan to replace the Village Green play equipment. On
the advice of Chris Carter, this group has visited several local sites that have new
playgrounds. They have also met with a representative of Little Tikes, a firm that sells
and installs CSA approved playground equipment. Our research has indicated that this
firm, formerly known as Paris Play Equipment, constructs the play structures we prefer
for our playground.
We have received a proposal from Little Tikes that includes a range of equipment to
serve the needs, in particular, of younger children. A detailed CAD drawing showing the
respective safety zones for the equipment will be mailed to us shortly.

Based on our preliminary discussion with Chris Carter, we understand that Oro-Medonte
Council might agree to install the safety base and pay one half of the cost of the purchase
of equipment. We are asking Council to approve an amount of up to $15,000.00 for this.
With your support, we will continue to work with Township staff to develop this project.
Thank you for your consideration of our request.

As you can see there are only three sources of income for us at the present time, the sale
of plots, donations and interest.
As you can well understand our income will fluctuate from year to year. It is influenced
by the level of donations we receive mainly at our memorial service (weather can playa
large part) and from time to time during the rest of the year. The sale of plots will vary
from year to year as well. Interest on GICs and other bank deposits is very inadequate to
begin with. Much of the principal of the GICs has been used to pay for the additional land
and more vvill be required for the fencing and laneways. Hence the income from this
source will be depleted.
Knox Cemetery is one of the oldest pioneer cemeteries in Simcoe County. Its historical
significance and.impact on the communities it has served in Oro-Medonte is a proud part
of our heritage.

TOWNSHIP OF ORO-MEDONTE
REPORT
II BACKGROUND:
II
There is a shortage of family physicians not only in Ontario but acrass Canada and in the U.S.A. as
well. It is estimated that 1.2 million Ontarians do not have a family doctor.
The Ministry of Health has taken the following action to address the shortage of family physicians:
The Under serviced Area Program provides incentive funding to new graduates (up to $40,000
in tuition reimbursement), plus relocation incentives of $15,000 to physicians going to an
under serviced community. These physicians must sign a four-year return of service
agreement.
The Rural Ontario Medical Pragram facilitates training of medical students and graduates in
rural communities and provides recruitment support.
The International Medical Graduate Program has been expanded to increase the number of
foreign-trained graduates assessed, trained and licenced in the Province.
The Province is reforming primary care, moving towards family health graups, networks and
teams. This is designed to imprave use of existing resources and provide care more patients.
There is a Pravincial initiative to have 150 multi-disciplinary family health teams in place by
2007. The Province has recently proposed the creation of 14 local health integration networks.
While health care is a Provincial responsibility, municipalities are increasingly being requested to take
action to alleviate the doctor shortage in their community.
(pd-;)
In recent months, Council has been requested to give consideration to the following:
Increased funding to the Community Task Force for Physician Recruitment
Pravision of financial assistance or incentives to doctors considering practicing in Oro-
Medonte
Municipal financial involvement in a medical center
When considering these requests, Council must be mindful that the demand to increase the level of
existing municipal services, the need to address the present infrastructure deficit and rising payrall
and energy costs will make it increasingly challenging for the municipality to maintain annual tax
increases at an acceptable level. In this financial enviranment, the municipality's ability to invest in
additional services is severely limited.
In order to assess the extent of the doctor shortage as it pertains to the municipality itself, a medical
services level of need survey was circulated to the residents of Oro-Medonte. Please find attached a
summary of the responses received thereto.
Before we consider the municipality's involvement in initiatives to alleviate the shortage of family
physicians, an overview of the state of the family physician is prabably needed.
Research and discussion with the medical community indicates that the days are prabably over of a
physician coming to a community to set up hislher practice.
Family physicians are reluctant to open a solo practice because they realize they will be inundated
with patients who do not have a doctor. It will be overwhelming for staff, for patients and for the
physician. Joining a group practice also allows a physician to complete histories on patients before
accepting them into their practice.
Physicians' attitudes have changed in terms of the business of their practice. Most new physicians
are not looking to set up their own practice in the old ways of buying a piece of property, purchasing
medical and office equipment, hiring staff and paying overhead. The responsibilities of practicing
medicine are far more important than running the business to new graduates. Instead of doing both,
they are choosing to focus on medicine, without all of the responsibilities of a business attached.
Most new graduates will likely join an existing family practice or group turnkey clinic and assist
physicians that are already carrying excessive patient loads. It is not uncommon to see physicians
carrying a patient load well in excess of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons
recommendation of one physician to every 1,380 patients.
Many newly recruited physicians are looking to begin in an existing practice and take on new patients
as they become familiar and comfortable in their new location. They prefer to ease their way into a
practice.
Physicians are doing more Locum Tenens than ever before. These are agreements made between
practicing physicians working in an office within a community who would like to take some time off,
and a physician that does not operate a full time office who would be able to fill in. Many new
graduates often spend at least one year traveling to potential communities doing Locums to take a
"test drive" of the community. They find out what the community has to offer and settle there if and
when they are ready.
- 2-
tpcl- :3
In light of the doctor shortage, physicians are looking at incentives. These come in both soft and
monetary form and are usually disbursed with a signed return of service of contract for a number of
years (usually four or five).
Medical facilities are extremely important to every physician. All physicians have a keen interest in
what the local medical facilities can offer them.
In conclusion, physicians choose a community to live and practice for a host of different reasons.
~
II ANALYSIS:
EXTENT OF DOCTOR SHORTAGE
The survey responses indicate the following:
10.65% of respondents had no doctor
22.31 % of respondents have no doctor or travel further than neighbouring municipalities to
their family physician
20.66% of respondents have no doctor or present doctor will be retiring within 3 years
The estimated 1.2 million Ontarians who do not have a family doctor is appraximately 10% of the
Province's population. The shortage of doctors in the Township of Ora-Medonte is then fairly close to
the Pravincial norm.
The Barrie under serviced area has a 14.89% rate of vacancy and the Orillia under serviced area a
13.33% rate of vacancy. The vacancy rate of both areas combined is 14.52%.
The Ministry of Health, in determining if an area should be designated as an under serviced area
uses a formula based on recommendations from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of
one physician to every 1,380 patients.
Based on the estimated population of the municipality being 20,000 and applying the said formula,
the doctor shortage for the Township of Ora-Medonte as indicated from the survey responses is
between 1.54 and 3.23.
CONTRIBUTION TO DOCTOR RECRUITMENT COMMITTEES
In 2005, the municipality contributed $2500 to the Community Task Force for Physician Recruitment
for the Barrie under serviced area and the Doctor Recruitment Committee for the Orillia under
serviced area.
The purpose of these doctor recruitment committees is to bring physicians, hospital administrators,
community leaders and municipal leaders together to develop and implement strategies to train,
recruit and retain physicians.
Because of the committees close ties to the medical community, these recruitment committees are
best positioned to develop and implement strategies to alleviate the said doctor shortages.
The attached update fram the RVH Doctor Recruitment Committee reflects that it has been
successful in 2005 in attracting doctors to the area and have doctors confirmed for 2006.

A survey of Simcoe County municipalities reveals that many have made contributions to doctor
recruitment committees or are considering doing so. This is considered the most effective manner the
municipality can contribute to alleviating the doctor shortage.
As such, we would recommend that the municipality provide funding to the Community Task Force
for Physician Recruitment for the Barrie under serviced area to the maximum amount requested
there from.
The survey indicates that the number of Township residents with doctors in Barrie or Orillia is similar.
As such, Council should consider contributing an equivalent amount to the Orillia Doctor Recruitment
Committee, if requested.
It should be noted that 56% of the respondents to the survey were in favour of increasing funds
directed towards doctor recruitment. This total was comprised of 55% of the respondents with a
doctor and 63% of the respondents with no doctor.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR INCENTIVES TO DOCTORS
As stated earlier, the Pravince offers physician applicants up to $40,000 in tuition credits in exchange
for a three or four year service commitment and up to $15,000, paid over four years, who relocate to
southern communities designated as an under serviced area.
Criteria for the under serviced area grant is that the eligible candidate have a licence to practice in
Ontario and must not have accessed a grant through the pragram in the past. There is a requirement
that a full time family practice be established. There is no clear definition of what constitutes a full
time family practice. Some of the family physicians practice 5 full days a week while most average
3.5 to 4.5 days per week in their practice.
The Community Task Force for Physician Recruitment provides up to $5,000 towards relocation
costs.
Potential recruits are looking at the other financial and soft incentives being offered when determining
where to locate. These include but are not limited to: subsidized housing, grants, golf, ski & gym
memberships and spousal support.
A survey of Simcoe County municipalities revealed that only a few have pravided financial assistance
or incentives.
The Town of New Tecumseth provided $50,000 per doctor for a total of five doctors. This program
has now been discontinued.
The Township of Springwater paid the office renovation costs, acquired medical equipment from a
retiring doctor and pravided office furniture for a doctor who chose to open a full-time practice in
Elmvale.
The Township of Ramara subsidizes rent in the first years of practice with the amount of rent
eventually increasing to the full amount. This allows the doctor to build his practice although in this
era of doctor shortages, the time frame to do so is lessening.
-4-
The Township of Clearview offered a potential recruit a $50,000 interest free loan. The doctor then
requested the municipality pay for golf and ski memberships. The municipality withdrew its offer.
These examples indicate that there is a wide range of financial assistance or incentive packages
possible.
The municipality should consider any written proposal for financial assistance or incentives fram a
physician and evaluate it on its merits on a cost/benefit basis. We respectfully recommend that any
financial assistance or incentive provided by the municipality should be either a one time cost or
expire after a period of time. The basic premise of the financial assistance or incentive is that it
should allow the physician to build up a practice or reduce any debt load helshe is carrying.
MEDICAL CENTER
While it has been established that there is a doctor shortage, we must now determine if there is a
need for housing for doctors and if so, what the municipality's involvement in the pravision thereof
should be.
There is presently commercial space available in the municipality. A review of real estate
advertisements reveals that commercial office space is available at various locations in Barrie (copy
of an example thereof is attached). We would specify the newly constructed Royal Court Medical
Centre located next to RVH and fairly close to the Township of Oro-Medonte's boundary. We believe
there is commercial space also available in Orillia.
As such, we believe the private sector is active in the pravision of commercial space in the region.
Staff would question the need for the municipality to become involved in the development and
marl<eting of commercial space.
We could understand involvement by municipalities isolated fram major urban centers with little or no
commercial development.
The rale of municipal government should be to create an environment conducive to commercial
development. The Township of Oro-Medonte has done so in the following manner:
No municipal development charges are applied to commercial development
Tax rates have been kept at the lowest level possible
The municipality should be willing to consider the partial or full waiving of building permit and
planning application fees relating to any private sector proposal for the development of a medical
centre.
Is there a need for a medical center in Oro-Medonte? It should be the private sector that determines
the need, or more specifically, the financial viability of this type of development in Oro-Medonte.
We would question the prudence of investing municipal funds in an area with the inherent risks of the
real estate market.
It should be noted that the Town of New Tecumseth purchased five units within a condominium
development to house five full-time physicians. These units are leased to an operating firm. They are
presently occupied by a pharmacy, a chirapractic clinic anda medical clinic. Doctors at the medical
clinic pay an hourly rate.
- 5-
W-4:>
The Township of Ramara operates a medical center that houses two doctors. This facility was
constructed by the Lions Club and then turned over to the municipality.
OVERVIEW
Due to the Recruitment Committee's close ties to the medical community and its ability to assess a
physician's credentials, we believe that enhancing the municipal contribution to the doctor
recruitment committees and praviding limited financial incentives to full-time physicians
recommended by the Recruitment Committee wishing to locate in Ora-Medonte is the most efficient
and effective manner the municipality can make a contribution to alleviating the doctor shortage in
the region.
II RECOMMENDATIONS:
I
1. THAT Report No. ADM2006-002 be received and adopted.
2. THAT the municipal contribution to doctor recruitment be considered during 2006 budget
deliberations.
3. THAT Council considers praposals fram physicians for financial incentives on its merits on a
cost/benefit basis.
4. THAT the Doctor Recruitment Committees be advised accordingly.

TOWNSHIP OF ORO-MEDONTE
CONFIDENTIAL REPORT
II BACKGROUND:
II
On October 19, 2005, a valuers' report was received by the Township of Oro-Medonte for a claim on

If the identity of the dog owner were known, the dog owner would be invoiced by the municipality.
Unfortunatel Mr. & Mrs. Crawford were unable to detain the do s.
.
I RECOMMENDATION(S):
1. THAT Report No. ADM 2005-0 be received and adopted.
2. THAT the Township of Oro-Medonte reimburse Lynda Crawford $150.00 for the loss of her hens.

Atm Oro Parks an ' ,Recreation,
Last Year the Bell1anada CharitySno.Pitch Tournament was he/d.Peb. 26th,1005 it was a
tremendous succesl and it raised $1000.00 for Charity. A local Barrie team, the "WHATS UP
Team ~ won the ch't'Pionship, and had chosen the R VH Cancer Unit as the money recipienL
We are looking TWard to continue with our Annual Charity Sno-Pitch. We have chosen a
date of Saturday F,' ruary 11" 1006, for next year.
,
We are extremely i awful to the Oro-Medonte Parks and Recreation, who had provided the use
of the Ball Diamonl s and facilities February 2001, without them this Charity Event would not
have taun place.
We would like to r I uest the Ora-Medonte ball diamonds (Lions #1 & #2), which are located
directly behind the rena, to accommodate our teams for the Feb. 2006 tournament. This
event is only held fJr the one day (.Peb-11th) between the times of 8:00a.m. til 5:00p.m., we have
approximately 100- 30 people in this community and area who participate.
Please contact me) we are able to use your facilities on Peb 11'",1006. 1 have provided afaxed
copy of the Grant ahI,Pllcation. Our Event could not afford to pay a fee for these ball diamonds
as the money woul come oul of the charity funds, and this would defeat our purpose of
running this event. I
Thanking you in ance,
Sincerely,
Margaret Cadeau

Dept. Report No. To: Prepared By:
ADM2006-005 Committee of the Whole Harold Daynard
Subject: Department:
Council Administration Building Administration

C.ofW. Date:
January 11, 2006
Motion # R.M. File #:
Date: RolI#:
TOWNSHIP OF ORO-MEDONTE
REPORT
II BACKGROUND: II
The Oro-Medonte Administration Building has the Norstar Phone System. This current phone
system is becoming too stressed to meet the Townships' day to day needs. These stresses include
increased numbers of phone sets, lines, users and calls. The voice mail associated with the same
phone system is also not supported any longer.
Current Phone System:
1. Norstar Phone System
~ 9 phone lines available
~ Voice Mail (No longer supported by Bell)
~ Not IP capable (Voice over Internet)
~ Will not be compliant with new technology
'r Difficult system to manage
The following Phone System was investigated as a replacement for the Norstar System.
2. Business Communications Manager
~ 151ines
~ New Voice Mail (Fully Supported)
~ IP Capable
~ New Phone Sets
~ Built to be compliant with new technology for many years to come
~ Centralized software management system for easy implementation
~ 5 Year extended Warranty
II ANALYSIS:
. -~
II
The following is the proposed solution for The Township of Oro-Medonte by Bell.
We have the option of purchasing or leasing the New Phone System.
These options were reviewed with the Township Treasurer.
The Purchase price including PST is $32,931.53.
Leasing the equipment for 5 years at a monthly cost of $605.16 plus PST would result in a total cost
of $39,214.37.
The Bell representative anticipates that the equipment would be relevant for at least ten years.
Lease costs for years 6 to 10 are not determinable at this time. However, the lease costs for years 6
to 10 would add to the total cost of the leasing option. As such, the outright purchase of the
equipment is the preferable option.
Staff recommend the purchase of the above noted telephone equipment at the price of $32,931.53
as quickly as possible. It is further recommended that the financing of this purchase be determined
during 2006 budget deliberations.
II RECOMMENDATION(S):
~
1. THAT Report No. ADM2006-005 be received and adopted.
2. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Purchasing and Tendering Procedures By-law, for the
reasons identified in Report No. ADM2006-005, Council deems it appropriate to enter into a
purchase agreement with Bell rather than to request proposals for new Telephone Systems.
3. And that staff be authorized to enter into a purchase agreement with Bell for the Business
Communications Manager Telephone System as specified in Report No. ADM2006-005
Resp.e.. ctfully sUbmitted." // .

Request for Speed Reduction Public Works
C.ofW. - Woodland Drive Date:
Januarv 5, 2006
Motion # R.M. File #:
T08-25505
Date: RolI#:
II BACKGROUND:
I
Correspondence dated August 17, 2005 (attached) was received fram Ms. Monique Burnett, who
resides at 374 Woodland Drive, requesting that the existing speed limit of 80 kmlh be reduced to 60
kmlh along her road. Woodland Drive is a paved 3.3 km. raad that runs from Memorial Avenue to
Lakeshore Road, with an ADDT of 1,100 vehicles per day. Within this section of Woodland Drive,
there are two road intersections, two one-lane bridges, and numerous horizontal curves, with ten
homes sporadically located within the 3.3 km.
II ANALYSIS:
II
Upon completing a site inspection of Woodland Drive and considering the increasing traffic from the
large population of the Lakeshore area, along with the numerous horizontal curves, two narrow
bridges and pedestrian traffic, it is recommended that the speed limit be reduced to 60 km/h. This
speed reduction will coincide with all other raads carrying traffic to and from the Lakeshore area.
II RECOMMENDATION(S):
II
1. THAT Report No. PW2006-01be received and adopted.
2. THAT the speed limit on Woodland Drive, from Memorial Avenue to Lakeshore Road, be reduced
to 60 km/h.
3. THAT the Clerk be authorized to add Woodland Drive to the existing 60 kmlh speed By-law.
fa ~ d-
4. THAT the Public Works Department installs the necessary signage.
5. AND THAT the Public Works Superintendent advises Ms. Monique Burnett and the O.P.P.
accordingly.

Attention: Members of Council
Please allow me to introduce myself My name is Monique Burnett and 1 reside at 374
Woodland Drive. I have been a proud member of the Oro-Medonte community for 16
years. 1 wish to express my appreciation for the ongoing efforts and dedication
demonstrated by the members of council. Oro-Medonte council has a reputation of sound
.. .... .deci s ion maki ngandexcell ent judgemenL It.i sf or.thi sreasonthat~lpropose~a~changejn--
the existing speed limit on Woodland Drive.
Currently the speed limit for Woodland Drive is 80km/hour. Over the years there has
been an enhancement in population and development in the area, for this reason the
volume of traffic and demonstrated speed has also increased. The overall volume of
traffic and aggressive drivers has ultimately put our children's and the citizen's of Oro-
Medonte's safety at risk.
My fmstrations and concerns have been shared with the local law enforcement
agency. Woodland Drive is utilized not only by motorists but also by recreational
cyclists, joggers, nature loving and fishing enthusiasts. The OPP academy and Georgian
College service the area for training and conditioning purposes. The road also has two
single lane bridges that require drivers to yield to oncoming traffic.
I propose that the speed limit be reduced to 60km/hr coincide with the recent speed
reduction on the 2nd Concession (Line 15). The law enforcement agency has assured me
that they will enforce and support the decrease in speed in order to maintain a safe
community for the residents of the area and visitors.
I look forward to hearing from you and am confident that as an effective and
responsible council that prompt action and resolution will be delivered to ensure the
safety of the tax payers and their families.
I may be reached at 327-1129 or e_mailedatbradburnett@svmRatico.ca.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Monique Burnett
