Re: Icy Tuesday
Dear Jerry,
It's not too often that Mother Nature challenges Sinton Transportation like it did on
Tuesday, January 17, 2006 but challenge us she did. The freezing rain that fell at school
bus time created roads like skating rinks in some areas of Oro-Medonte Township.
Freezing rain is one of the biggest obstacles our drivers face. For some of them, Tuesday
was their very first experience driving in that type of weather. Our Operations
Departments, who had their work cut out for them offering support from the inside, were
extremely grateful for your help that night.
I would like to extend to you and your department my sincerest thanks for all of your help
with our school buses. Your timely response and helpful roadside assistance ensured that
all of our school bus drivers delivered their students home safe and sound to very grateful
and relieved parents.
Thank you.
Sincerely
..~~

Guthrie Home & School
Deputation to Oro-Medonte Township Council
Wednesday February 15, 2006
Mr. Mayor. Deputy Mayor and Council, my name is Laurie Fors and I am Past President
of Guthrie Home and School, the parents' group at Guthrie Public School. I am here
tonight to ask for financial assistance for the construction of a new playground at Guthrie
School.
The basic structure of the playground currently at Guthrie School was erected in 1972.
Additions and changes have been made since then, but what is there today is essentially
30 years old. It has been inspected annually by representatives from the Simcoe County
District School Board and 2 years ago the slide failed the inspection, was
decommissioned, and later removed. A new playground, or additions to the current
playground was always on the wish list of the parents' group, but more immediate and
smaller projects always claimed our resources at budget time. The decommissioning of
the slide made us think about what would happen if the entire playground was taken
down. There are many benefits of a playground in a school yard. A playground provides
opportunity for physical activity that we know is so important to improve physical fitness.
We know that active. busy children are more likely to play co-operatively and do better
academically. We are well aware through the Township Parks and Recreation Programs
that this Council is well aware of and supports such initiatives. At this point, we began to
work on a new playground in eamest.
When we began to look at the playground issue a committee consisting of parents and
administration was formed. This is the basic process we followed:
. Parents were surveyed as to their desire for a new playground and suggestions were
requested as to what this playground might look like.
. Committee members sought out catalogues and information from various suppliers.
. Administration divided staff into work groups to identify criteria from which we could
judge various playgrounds, list priorities for a local playground and even look through
catalogues to find examples of features which would provide the most enjoyment to
the most students.
. Committee members toured other playgrounds in school yards and municipal parks
and any interesting playgrounds between Alliston and Gravenhurst.
. The committee then narrowed the list of preferred builders and invited them to submit
plans which fit our general and specific criteria. For example, a school playground
should allow many students to use it at once. Swings are not usually included. We
also wanted a structure that would allow for several entrance and exit points. If, for
instance, a structure had only stairs up and a slide down, when used by several
students at once, a students not wanting to slide could cause a traffic jam.
. The committee reported to the parents' group on a regular basis and comments were
invited from staff and parents before the parents' group decided on a formal plan.
. The playground that was decided upon costs $40.819.00. A copy of the drawing and
plans are on the pink pages in your package. I won't go over the drawings unless
requested.
. Authorization from Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB) was sought and
obtained for the plans submitted.
.
.
.
Once we realized that we had parental support for a new playground, plans were made
to fundraise. We made major cuts from our 2005-2006 school year parents' group budget
to allow funds to be allocated to the playground this year. Administration allocated all
funds raised from Vesey bulb sales last year to go towards the playground. Some
existing fundraisers were expanded, and new ones added. We applied for a grant from
Honda Canada, which we did not receive. We did a mailing out to all businesses listed
~~ on the Oro Medonte Chamber of Commerce website, requesting donations in exchange
for a charitable receipt and recognition and included forms families could take to
businesses they frequent, may own, or work for. Our group decided at this point that we
would advertise to parents and to the business community that there would be a summer
2006 build.
Here are some fundraising examples:
. Weekly pizza sales
. Daily milk sales
. Harvey's lunch sales **
. Chamber of Commerce Members mailing **
. Vesey Bulb sales **
. Concession stand at SCDSB Elementary Football Toumament **
. Guthrie Gryphon bracelet sales **
. Magazine sales
. Bake sales **
. Concession stands at various school functions.
** New fundraiser, started for playground.
When considering our current bank balance and projected income from all our
fund raisers, we are still coming up short. We feel that our parent population has
supported our fundraisers as well as they can and that it is not fair to ask for even more
support.
The playground costs $40,819.00, including taxes, shipping and installation. This does
not include site preparation, but we will look after that. We have already raised 50% of
this amount.
The playground at Guthrie School is available for use by local residents evenings and
weekends during the school year and all summer long. There are no other playgrounds
in the community of Guthrie and the surrounding area. My personal experience includes
attending my child's baseball practices at Guthrie School, where I always observe
children using the existing playground. A new playground would benefit many local
taxpayers.
We have worked hard to this end but need some help with this project. We wish to
acknowledge the support of administration and staff of Guthrie Public School. Melody
Northrop, principal, is here to answer any questions you may have.
We realize that Oro-Medonte funds playground equipment on a 50/50 basis. We expect
that council may have a number of similar requests before them. However we already
have raised 50% and in the event that Council is unable to fund this project by 50%, we
welcome any contributions that can be made. We feel it is vital that this project is
completed this year. Thank you for your kind consideration of this matter.

including an update as to the status of the Fire Protection Plan, as well as a
discussion of the airport Commission's request to expand the inventory of lands
available for sale. J. Zieleniewski confirmed that the Township of Oro-Medonte
staff is in receipt of the proposed Fire Protection Plan, as prepared by FCS Ltd.,
and Ihal a Ihird party "peer" review of the plan is being conducted. II was further
\
,
reviewed that the Township of Oro-Medonte expects that an efficient review of
the plan will result in the issuance of a full occupancy permit to Weatherwise
Aviation, within the month of December 2005.
The Commission request to inventory the balance of airport development lands
as lands for sale (tabled motion) was also reviewed. The City of Barrie and the
Township of Oro-Medonte indicated that their respective staff reports would
reflect support for the tabled motion. The City of Orillia indicated that their staff
report would not be supporting the tabled motion.
The Joint Venture Agreement, the IGAP initiatives and growth/investment
potential at the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport were also discussed. It was
suggested that the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport Commission consider a
"quantum approach" in their future planning. It was also noted that further

the City of Orillia are impacted by any developments surrounding the airport. A.
Smith concurred noting that the types of developments create a platform for the
future land uses surrounding the airport and suggested that
aesthetics/perception of any developments are as equally important. M. Drumm
was given direction to contact the Township of Oro-Medonte to ensure that the

different fee structure. Tiny's Treasurer called in response to this
discussion and asked for usage statistics, presumably to justify the
increased expenditure. All three Libraries have responded, so we now

6.2 Strategic Planning Committee
The Committee has not met, therefore, there was no report.
6.3 Fundraising Committee
Direct Mail
B. Molesworth reported on the most recent direct mail campaign. To
date, there have been 106 responses which translates as a 2.08% rate of
return for approximately $5,600.00. We are still waiting for some
invoices, particularly the one for postage, therefore, a final cost is not
available. Any money left over will be used to purchase a new leasing
plan for Large Print books. Next spring, two different letters will be
sent. One letter will be sent to those who did contribute and the other
will be sent to the balance of the 7,000 plus mailing list.

ACTION
Reading Series 2006
B. Molesworth has received positive responses from four authors of fiction for
next summer's reading series. The series will run for four days in a row,
Thursday, July 13 to Sunday, July 16, 2006.
O. Parsons has suggested the possibility of asking a children's author to read at
a matinee. B. Molesworth will investigate.
Last year our expenses were quite low, so we broke even. The 2006 series will
have higher costs as most of the authors are coming from farther away and may
need accommodation. B. Molesworth has approached the TD Bank and
Minds Alive about the possibility of sponsorship. Suggestions were made about
other possible sponsors. A. Wilkes offered to host an author in her home if that
would help. B. Molesworth is in the process of filling out the application for
another Canada Council grant to offset some of the expense.
6.4 Policy Committee
B. Desroches has agreed to serve on this committee to replace R Allard.
The Committee will meet in January 2006.
6.5 Report from the Friends ofthe Midland Public Library
The Friends did not meet this month, therefore, there was no report.

7.1 Membership - OLA and lor FoOPL
B. Molesworth reminded the Board that last year they had decided not
to renew the Board's membership with the Ontario Library Association
(OLA) and instead joined the new Federation of Public Libraries
(FoOPL). The Board does still support an individual membership for
B. Molesworth with the OLA. The Board membership fee to the OLA
would be $250.00 and $750.00 to the FoOPL. The Board was asked for
their direction. After some discussion, it was agreed that the Board
membership with the FoOPL be renewed for another year to give this
fledgling organization a chance to progress.

On behalf of the Oro Station Community Hall and members of our community, I would like to request your consideration for a

on a regular basis by a pre-school play group, a Seniors' group, a card party group and it also provides a great place for family

We would be most appreciative of your consideration at this time.

TOWNSHIP OF ORO-MEDONTE
REPORT
Dept. Report No. To: Prepared By:
ADM2006-012 Council Doug Irwin
Records Management Co-
ordinator
Subject: Department:
Council Vote Count Equipment Administration
C.ofW. Date: February 15, 2006
Motion # R.M. File #:
Date: RolI#:
~ BACKGROUND:
II
At the December 14, 2005 meeting, Council decided that the formal election method using polling
stations and ballots would be utilized for the 2006 Oro-Medonte Municipal Election. Council further
directed staff to investigate the cost of optical scan poll counters for possible use in the 2006
municipal election.
II ANALYSIS:
II
Staff have gathered and analyzed information from suppliers of various types of vote count
equipment and have compared lease/purchase costs. In an effort to give Council an overview of the
equipment, as well as the application of such equipment in diverse scenarios and the related costs, a
comparison chart is attached for consideration. (Attachment 1). Also attached for information is the
AMCTO Review of Vote Tabulation Alternatives for Optical Scan Counters. (Attachment 2)
Vote tabulators are available in two types:
. Poll level tabulators located on each ballot box which count the votes as they are cast
. Central count tabulators located at polling stations which conduct the count after polls close
Option 1 demonstrates the use of poll level tabulators on each ballot box. Using the 2003 election
polling subdivisions 34 tabulators would be required with an additional 2 for the advance polls; total of
36. This option is the most expensive at a lease cost of $47,000.00.
\
Option 2 demonstrates the use of poll level tabulators located in each polling station of which there
are 18 in the 2003 election, plus 2 tabulators for the advance polls; total of 20. This option is less
costly and considerably reduces the number of staff required.
Option 3 demonstrates the use of poll level tabulators located in each polling station where the
number of polling stations has been reduced to 3 per Ward (15) plus an additional 2 for the advance
polls; total of 17. This option further reduces the number of staff required to 48 and therefore
reduces the cost.
Option 4 demonstrates the use of poll level tabulators located in each polling location where the
number of polls has been reduced to 1 per Ward (5) plus 2 tabulators for the advance polls; total of
7. This option is the least expensive for poll level tabulation; however electors would have only one
location at which to cast their ballot.
Option 5 demonstrates the use of central count tabulators (Medium Speed) located in each Ward (5)
plus 1 tabulator for the advance poll. The number of staff required in this scenario is increased to 82
and a desktop computer is required at each tabulator location. Uncounted ballot boxes would be
transported to the central count locations.
Option 6 demonstrates the use of central count tabulators (Low Speed) located in each Ward (5)
plus 1 tabulator for the advance poll. This scenario mirrors option 5 using low speed counters which
reduces the cost of the equipment.
Option 7 demonstrates the use of central count tabulators (Medium Speed) in two locations only.
This scenario is the most inexpensive for equipment, however there is no reduction in staff and
desktop computers are required.
Staff have also investigated the cost of purchasing tabulators. The quoted cost for poll level
tabulators is $5,000.00 each plus the additional costs for training, software, support, etc. incurred for
each election.
It is recommended that Council consider Option 3 to be implemented in the 2009 municipal election
for the Township. Option 3 offers the following merits:
. immediate results
. integrity in the count
. more accessible voting method for visually impaired electors
. reduction in spoiled ballots by alerting electors to anomalies in their ballot
. reduced staff
. reduced rental costs for polling stations
. causes minimal disruption to electors
. no transportation of uncounted ballots to alternate location for count
Option 3 is being recommended for the next (2009) election to allow Council to budget over the next
three years the costs associated with the implementation of this option.

~ RECOMMENDATION(S):
~
1. THAT Report No. ADM2006-012 be received and adopted.
2. THAT Option 3 as outlined in Report No. ADM2006-012 be implemented for the 2009 Oro-
Medonte municipal election.
3. THAT Council consider the commitment in the Election budget of an additional $10,000.00 for the
2007,2008,2009 budget years.

Dept. Report No. ADM 2006- To: Committee of the Whole Prepared By: Paul Gravelle &

Subject: Medical Services Department: Administration
Council
C.ofW. Date: January 5, 2006
Motion # R.M. File #:
Date: RolI#:
TOWNSHIP OF ORO-MEDONTE
REPORT
II BACKGROUND:
II
There is a shortage of family physicians not only in Ontario but across 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 Program 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 groups, networks and
teams. This is designed to improve use of existing resources and provide care more patients.
There is a Provincial 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.
,
~'
In recent months,
been requested to give consideration to the following:
Increased funding to the Community Task Force forPhysici13nRecruitrnent
Provision of financial assistance or incentives to doctors considering practicing in Ora-
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 payroll
and energy costs will make it increasingly challenging for the municipality to maintain annual tax
increases at an acceptable level. In this financial environment, 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 probably needed.
Research and discussion with the medical community indicates that the days are probably over of a
physician coming to a community to set up his/her 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.

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 retum 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.
t
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 approximately 10% of the
Province's population. The shortage of doctors in the Township of Oro-Medonte is then fairly close to
the Provincial 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 Oro-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 from 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.
- 3 -
~1
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 Province 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
southem 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 program 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 provided financial assistance
or incentives.
The Town of New Tecumseth provided $50,000 per doctor for a total offive doctors. This program
has now been discontinued.
The Township of Springwater paid the office renovation costs, acquired medical equipment from a
retiring doctor and provided 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-
"
~.'.5
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 from 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 he/she 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 provision 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 provision of commercial space in the region.
Staff would question the need for the municipality to become involved in the development and
mark-eting of commercial space.
We could understand involvement by municipalities isolated from major urban centers with little or no
commercial development.
The role 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 chiropractic clinic anda medical clinic. Doctors at the medical
clinic pay an hourly rate.
-5-
,
-~{p
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 providing limited financial incentives to full-time physicians
recommended by the Recruitment Committee wishing to locate in Oro-Medonte is the most efficient
and effective manner the municipality can make a contribution to alleviating the doctor shortage in
the region.
~ 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 proposals from physicians for financial incentives on its merits on a
cost/benefit basis.
4. THAT the Doctor Recruitment Committees be advised accordingly.

Oro-Medonte Residents see a Medical Centre as a Critical need.
While the average direct mail survey gets a 2% response the Oro-Medonte Medi~al
Services Level of Needs Survey got a massive 13% response showing the high level of
concern that residents have about this issue. More than 25% of respondents either do
not have a family doctor or have to travel more than 50 miles to see one.
A staggering 35% of respondents were willing to accept a tax increase to accomplish
the establishment of an Oro-Medonte Medical Centre. This means that even some of
those respondents with doctors realize the need and are willing to pay to correct it.
The vast majority of respondents want more investment in attracting doctors to Oro-.
Medonte. Over 40% of respondents want to be put on an Oro-Medonte doctor's list.
"The reponse is overwhelming" says John Thornton, Chairman of a committee to
Establish a Medical Centre in Oro-Medonte " When we went to Council with our
concerns we were told that council needed facts before acting. Although we had facts and
figures for Ontario and Simcoe as a whole we did not have specific data for Oro-Medonte
other than many anecdotal references. We agreed to wait for a survey to be completed
and we now have the facts. We now need council to budget for the Medical Centre,
pi~k a site and start the process of recruiting doctors ASAP."
Mac Shiells, Vice Chairman of the committee was equally enthused with the result. "1
thought the results were astounding. We did not think the question asking support for an
open ended tax increase was fair and asked council to make an estimate to give people an
idea of the size of the increase. We believe it would be no more than $10-$20 per
household. Council chose to leave the amount open ended. Even so, an amazing 35% of
respondents agreed to a tax increase. Although the majority of respondents were willing
to increase funds to attract doctors, many more may have opted for a tax increase had
they known it would be minimal."
The Committee are now expectantly awaiting council response to the results. The
committee have already identified several doctors indicating interest in locating in Oro-
Medonte and are willing to assist council with their recruitment efforts. Much of the
financing for technical equipment and infrastructure as well as support for Nurse
practitioners is available from the Provincial Government.
The time has come for Oro-Medonte, one of the fastest growing areas of Ontario, to look
to the future and ensure easy access to family physicians for all Oro-Medonte
residents by building a Medical Centre within our boundaries.

Dear Arbourwood Homeowner:
In my role as Deputy Mayor I have been in consultation with residents and
Township staff regarding the periodic disclouration in municipal water that is being
experienced by some homes.
This letter is to provide a common explanation, to outline the strategies that the
Township staff is using to alleviate the problem and to make homeowners aware of what
they can do to help mitigate the situation.
It is believed that the brown disclouration is the result of the "hard water" from
the well causing mineral deposits to build up inside water pipes over time. When this
problem first occurred, Township staff flushed the water system in an attempt to
eliminate the loose mineral deposits.
Unfortunately, this did not fully solve the problem and more aggressive action is
needed. Staff is planning to swab the pipes. However, due to the large volumes of water
needed for the process and the possibility that digging might be required, it is necessary
to wait until spring to do the swabbing.
It appears that the breaking loose of the mineral deposits is direetly related to
fluctuations that occur in water pressure. Fluctuations occur when the pumps turn on and
off as a result of electrical power interruptions or variations in power that sometimes
occur when hydro workers do repairs to the hydro grid.
During the interim, before the swabbing of the pipes takes place, it may be
necessary for some intervention work to be earried out. Such intervention could create a
brief period of water discolouration.
When the lines were last flushed, the Township posted signs to notify residents at
the entrances to the subdivision. Unfortunately, it was learned that the posting of the
signs did not have the desired outcome of making all residents aware. Consequently,
signs will be posted further in advance of any work planned for the water system.
A resident, Werner Theil, has volunteered to be the contaet for a telephone relay
system for anyone who would like to receive a telephone call to notify them in addition to
the earlier placement of signs advising of scheduled work. Attempts will be made to
provide notification to those wishing to be contacted by telephone. However, it is
possible that homeowners who do not have a telephone answering serviee eould be
missed during this volunteer phone relay. Should you wish your narne to be placed on
the telephone relay system please telephone 487-2128 or email hhughes@oro-medonte.ca
Due to the discolouration related to the recent power failure, homeowners are
advised take special precautions, such as not doing laundry, around the time of power
interruptions. These precautions should extend from the time of the initial power failure
and beyond the time that the power is restored.
It is regrettable that it is necessary to wait until spring to perform the swabbing.
Hopefully, the information contained in this letter will, in the interim, enable
residents to react to changes that could eause the problem to reappear.
Thank you for your patience in this matter.

Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 7:07 PM
To: Harold Daynard
Subject: Sign for Hobart
To who it May Concern,
I have noticed over the last few years that several signs have popped up naming the
various hamlets and or communities that make up Oro-Medonte township. One sign is missing.
Hobart. The school and the church are still standing but no sign exists to mark this
little farming community. My family has been in Hobart for over four generations and we
are in the recent book about our fine township. What can be done to have a Hobart sign
erected in this little known part of our township? In case you can't find it on the map
the corner of the 6th concession and Mount St. Louis road is where we are. The church is
just down the road.
Thanks
