Sent: To: Cc: From: PETER THOMPSON Friday, October 06,20069:30 AM Irwin, Doug Buttineau, Dan; Hughes, Harry; Crawford, John; Craig, Neil; Marshall, Paul; Hough, Ralph; Fountain, Ruth; Subject: Parks in Arbourwood Oct 6, 2006 Dear Mayor and Council, We are writing to indicate our support for having our parks in Arbourwood look less like "truck parking lots and gravel storage space" and more like parks. The difficult job offund-raising for development was severely hampered by the proposed sale of one of our parks earlier in the year. A divided community is not fertile ground for soliciting donations. A 50%/50% funding is impossible. Input from the community is critical. Discussions with my neighbours indicates that we have different wishes for the nature of the parks. The one thing we are in complete agreement with is that the parks should reflect what the majority of us want. We believe this is why we have an elected council. We look forward to their leadership.

I TO~ Dear Minister, Re: Inter-Governmental Action Plan On behalf of the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority's Board of Directors and staff, I wish to congratulate your Ministry in relation to developing sustainable growth options through the Inter-Governmental Action Plan (IGAP). We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to participate in this important exercise by developing the Assimilative Capacity Studies for the Lake Simcoe and Nottawasaga River watersheds by working with the Ministry of the Environment (MOE). We understand that the MOE has been extremely pleased with the work completed by both the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) and the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority in relation to the Assimilative Capacity Studies. However, in reviewing the various options for growth at the recent IGAP Open Houses, the LSRCA has concerns with the preferred option recommended by the consultant. The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority's Board of Directors, at their meeting held on Friday, August 2S, 2006, dealt with Authority Staff Report No. 4S-06-BOD regarding the Inter-Governmental Action Plan (IGAP) and passed the following resolution: Moved by: B. Drew Seconded by: J. Young BOD-06-117 RESOLveD THAT Staff Report No. 45-06-BOD regarding the results of the Inter-Governmental Action Plan (IGAP) be endorsed; and THAT the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) Board of Directors and LSRCA staff take a very strong position against the options recommended, as they are in direct opposition to the goals and objectives of the LSRCA Assimilative Capacity Study phosphorus targets; and .. .IPage 2 ~ The Hon.

Purpose of Staff Report: The purpose of this Staff Report is to inform the Board of Directors of the results of the Inter- Governmental Action Plan (IGAP) and the proposed enforcement protocol. The protocol clearly defines the process and procedure for staff to follow regarding enforcement of the Authority regulations and policies, and provides a schedule for when certain enforcement activities need to be initiated. Background: The Inter-Governmental Action Plan (IGAP) is a joint study undertaken by the province of Ontario, the County of Simcoe and its sixteen member municipalities and the cities of Barrie ~b- 5 Staff Report No. Page No. FileNo. Agenda Item No. 45-06-BOD 20f4 6 BOD-08-06 and Orillia. It was developed to provide these municipalities with information and a set of implementation tools to assist in planning and development decision making, The Plan is intended to provide a long term strategy for growth; specifically, the plan has investigated the Lake Simcoe and Nottawasaga River watersheds and their ability to accommodate added usage of water and sewer systems that would come with additional urban development in the area. It has also examined the state of the water and sewer systems that serve the existing population. The Board of Directors has already had some exposure to the IGAP process through the Assimilative Capacity Studies, which were the first of four phases in the development of the plan. Refer to Staff Report Numbers 25-0S-BOO, 39-0S-BOD, 62-05-BOD, 80-06-BOD and 30-06-BOO. The remaining phases dealt with infrastructure studies and the development of a master plan to accommodate approved growth and development, the assessment of future growth potential considering water capacity and findings on the capacity of existing infrastructure, and the final phase, an implementation strategy based on the recommendations from the previous three phases. It is notable to mention that, while the Authority has been fundamental in the development of the Assimilative Capacity tools, we are not an active partner involved in IGAP and have had no influence other than as any outside commenting agency. Atthe present time the Province has released the third phase results which deal with a number of growth management scenarios and the selection of a preferred alternative for further consultation before moving into the final phase of the plan development: implementation, Detailed information regarding the plan can be downloaded directly at the Simcoe County website www.county,simcoe.on.ca/. A total of eight growth management scenarios have been completed which are described as follows: Option 1: Option 2: Option 2b: Option 2c: Option 3: Option 4: Option 4b: Option S Business as Usual Barrie and Area Centred Single Node Barrie and Area Centred Single Node (Modified Lands) Barrie and Area Centred Single Node (Modified Lands Version 2) Single Barrie Area Node with 40% Intensification in County Multi Nodal Expansion Multi Nodal Expansion (Modified Lands) Dispersed Expansion Figures depicting these options and the resulting impact on phosphorus loads are attached, As shown in the associated tables, the phosphorus loading results within every option for additional growth exceed the established phosphorus loading targets for the individual subwatersheds as established in the Assimilative Capacity Study for Lake Simcoe. jb -(0 Staff Report No. Page No. File No. Agenda Item No. 45-06-BOD 30f4 6 BOD-08-06 The IGAP preferred Option is 2b, the Barrie and Area Single Node Scenario (Modified Lands), as it exists now. This option is considered by the consultants as the most logical choice based on available infrastructure and servicing, and the most reasonable total cost. Unfortunately, the scenario is not the preferred environmental option having detrimental impacts on the phosphorus loading to Lake Simcoe concentrating all of the waste water effluent into Kempenfelt Bay and exceeding the Lover's Creek phosphorus target. It is staff's position that the phosphorus targets established through the Assimilative Capacity Study (ACS) for Lake Simcoe must be maintained, otherwise three of the four LSEMS objectives cannot be achieved (i.e. sustaining a cold water fishery, improving wateerquality and reducing phosphorus loads). Given that none of the growth options presented to date meet this criteria, the Authority cannot support any of the options as provided, It is recommended thatthe Province and IGAP partners be requested to develop a new option for consideration respecting the Assimilative Capacity Study targets. This option would evaluate where future growth could occur within the IGAP study area while maintaining the phosphorus targets, Upon its completion, issues associated with infrastructure, servicing and cost could be evaluated, Issues: The most significant issue associated with the proposed growth plan is that the proposed growth does notappearto be sustainable and will have significant impacts on the watershed natural features and functions, The IGAP has placed more emphasis on infrastructure, servicing and cost associated with future growth than the impact this might have on the environment. Should the option be permitted as proposed, the potential clearly exists to exceed the phosphorus targets established under the ACS and LSEMS. Therefore, staff cannot support the IGAP Options as presented. Relevance to Authority Policy: The Authority's mission is to provide leadership in the restoration and protection of the environmental health and quality of Lake Simcoe and its watershed with our Community, Municipal and other Government partners. The IGAP results need to be assessed in relation to the Conservation Authority mission and mandate, Impact on Authority Finances: There is no financial impact associated with this report, S'o-l Staff Report No. Page No. File No. Agenda Item No. 45-06-BOD 40f4 6 BOD-08-06 Summarv & Recommendations: THAT Staff Report No, 45-06-BOD regarding the results ofthe Inter-Governmental Action Plan (IGAP) be received for information; and FURTHER THAT staff be directed to inform the IGAP partners that it cannot support the options as they exist, and request thatthe Province consider another option to evaluate where future growth could occur within the IGAP study area while maintaining the Assimilative Capacity Study phosphorus targets, original signed by: Prepared by: Michael Walters, CMM III Director, Watershed Management original signed by: Recommended by: D.

Comments: Date: C.A.O. Dept. Head - 2- Lob~ \ Dept. Report No. TR2006-20 To: Committee of the Whole Prepared By: Paul Gravelle Subject: OMERS Support Department: Treasury Fund Council C.ofW. Date: October 3,2006 Motion # R.M. File #: Date: RolI#: TOWNSHIP OF ORO-MEDONTE REPORT II BACKGROUND: II Bill 206, the new OMERS Act, was proclaimed on June 30, 2006. AMO has the new responsibility to appoint employer representatives to each of the OMERS Sponsors Corporation and Administration Corporation. The new OMERS Act requires the establishment of an initial supplemental pension plan for emergency services employees (I.e. police, fire, paramedics) within 24 months. This is a separately- funded stand-alone registered pension plan that offers benefits not available in the current primary plan, The Sponsors Corporation has the authority to create supplemental plans for other OMERS plan members. It is only a matter of time before OMERS employees outside of the emergency services sector will seek the same access to enhanced retirement benefits. A well coordinated, well advised employer response with the competencies necessary to deal with these new OMERS governance demands must be developed in order to deal with these issues. The AMO Board of Directors directed that municipalities that are OMERS employers be asked to make an annual contribution to an OMERS Support Fund. This Fund would be administered by AMO as a separate business activity and all funds will be used exclusively for OMERS related activities. The Fund will provide resources required to allow AMO to operate as a formal representative to protect the interests of municipalities as employers. Examples of items that are anticipated to support AMO's role include: . recruitment costs (as membership terms expire) _ remuneration/expenseslindemnification of AMO appointees (to the extent that this is not covered within the new OMERS governance structure) - research and analysis costs (including legal, actuarial and governance advice) _ support for supplementary decision-making mechanisms (i.e. mediation/arbitration costs regarding proposed plan changes) _ administration costs (such as transition, training and communications between AMO's municipal employers) II ANALYSIS: II The estimated cost to the Township of Oro-Medonte to participate in the Fund is as follows: 2006 2007 2008 $115.91 $339.02 $383.24 Given the potential financial impact of supplemental plans on the municipality, we believe the requested contribution to protect the municipality's interest in regards to OMERS issues should be made and that the Township of Oro-Medonte participate in the OMERS Support Fund. II RECOMMENDATION(S): II 1. THAT Report No. TR2006-20 be received and adopted. 2, THAT the Township of Oro-Medonte hereby agrees to participate in the OMERS Support Fund and AMO be advised accordingly. 3, THAT the requested contribution to the OMERS Support Fund for 2006 and 2007 be paid forthwith.

Neil Craig Township of Oro-Medonte 148 Line 7 South Box 100 Oro, ON LOL 2XO Dear Mayor J. Neil Craig, As you are aware, with the proclamation on June 30, 2006 of Bill 206, the new OMERS Act, AMO has a new and significant responsibility to represent municipalities and appoint municipal employer representatives to each of the OMERS Sponsors Corporation and Administration Corporation, AMO's Board considered the potential implications of bringing strong and persuasive representation and support to the municipal employer representatives against the potential impacts of doing either nothing or little. AMO's position is that a proactive, strategic approach with dedicated resources is the wisest course of action for municipal employers. On August 13, 2006, many of you attended the AMO Special Meeting of OMERS municipal employers in Ottawa to discuss employer interests and AMO's proposal outlined in the discussion paper entitled "Bill 206 and OMERS: Meeting AMO's New Responsibilities; Investing in Municipal Interests". This was an important meeting that outlined the changes in AMO's obligations under Bill 206 - matters that extend beyond the Association's policy development and advocacy role and current resources. At this meeting, AMO sought general feedback as well as a confirmation of support to contribute to the AMO OMERS Special Fund as a source of dedicated funds to exclusively support OMERS-related activities. The attendance of over 300 municipal employers and strong support for AMO's position voiced at that meeting shows how seriously you take the issues concerning municipal employer interests in this new world of "pension bargaining". It also shows how committed you are to protecting the best interests of ratepayers in your communities. The AMO OMERS Special Fund is to be established annually based on the number of OMERS employees in each municipality, including transit and pOlice employees. The funds will be administered as a separate and distinct business activity exclusively for OMERS related activities and AMO will fully and frequently report on this Fund to municipal employer participants. Attached you will find an invoice that outlines the respective contributions to the Special Fund for your municipality and instructions for payment. Thank you for your support and for participating in this important endeavour. If you have any questions, please contact Pat Vanini, Executive Director at 416-971-9856.

Report No. To: Prepared By: ADM 2006-056 Council Jennifer Zieleniewski Subject: Department: Council Administration Christmas Shutdown and C.ofW. Holiday Meeting Date: Cancellations October 4, 2006 Motion # R.M. File #: Date: RolI#: II BACKGROUND: . In previous years, Council has approved closing the municipal office between Christmas and New Year's Day, To accommodate this shut down, the Y, day paid holiday before Christmas Day and the y, day before Boxing Day were combined and recognized on the day following Boxing Day. This closing has also precipitated the cancellation of regular Committee of the Whole and Council meetings that would fall within the holiday period. II ANALYSIS: ~ The Collective Agreement, Article 18 subsection 18.01 states "the Corporation recognizes the following as paid holidays for permanent employees: % day before Christmas Day, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, % day before New Year's Day and New Year's Day." This year Christmas Day falls on a Monday and Boxing Day falls on a Tuesday. It is suggested that the two Y, day closings be recognized on Wednesday, December 27, Employees would be required to draw two days of their 2006 holidays to provide for the office closing for the remainder of the week (December 28th and December 29th, 2006). Employees with less than the required number of days in their vacation bank for 2006 would have the option of drawing on their 2007 entitlement or taking the time off without pay. Payroll would be processed prior to the proposed shutdown to accommodate bank holiday closures. The Public Works department crews would be on call in the event of inclement weather. The Oro- Medonte Community Arena would be open during the shutdown with the exception of Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, Should Council approve the office closing between Christmas and New Year, the regular meeting schedule would also be affected. It would be necessary to cancel two regular meetings - Committee of the Whole scheduled to be held on December 27 and Council scheduled to be held on January 3, 2007. c Attached for Council's consideration is a calendar for the months of December 2006 and January 2007. The calendar outlines the dates being recommended for Christmas Shutdown as well as the meeting schedule for the two months with suggested cancellations noted. It is recommended that Council give favourable consideration to the Christmas shutdown as well as the meeting cancellations as outlined. I RECOMMENDATION(S): II 1. THAT Report No, ADM 2006-056 be received and adopted. 2. THAT the holiday shutdown commence at 4:30pm on Friday, December 22nd, 2006 and extend to 8:30am Tuesday, January 2,2007, 3. THAT the Administration Centre, Roads Yards and the Oro-Medonte Community Arena be posted accordingly. 4. THAT the regular Committee of the Whole meeting scheduled to be held on December 27, 2006 and the regular Council meeting scheduled to be held on January 3, 2007 be cancelled. 5. THAT staff and the public be notified of the shutdown and meeting cancellations accordingly. Respectfully submitted, /'.." " "' ,y . ) \/\~. J.~ .J , ,'.Mi. ~I /; . ; /, 1 !
