Reports of Board Committees -continued 6.4 Policy Committee The Committee has not met, no report. 6.5 Building committee Two meetings have been held to date. At the last meeting, 7. Knibb brought four possible scenarios for layout of the collections and services. He also showed a massing model of how the old building would be connected to the new expansion. An atrium would link but separate the two and provide much needed light. It was determined that the space required for the Adult and Reference Collections make it impossible for them all to be on the ground floor. A compromise was struck which sees Adult Fiction going to the Second Floor in the existing building with Children's adjacent in the expansion. The basement level in the expansion will house an auditorium and a central processing work space. There will be a sepazate entrance to the auditorium. J. Knibb will be sending us the new option next week and then Staff will have a chance to have a look at the layout and start looking at where tables, chairs and fiuniture will go. b.b Report from the Friends of the Midland Public Library The Friends will be meeting next Tuesday evening, so nothing to report. ew business 7.1 December Meeting B.

And just in time for the start of National Ski and Snowboard Week! You are Invited to Join Us Kick Off National Ski and Snowboard Week at Horseshoe Resort on Friday January 12th, 2007 ~ 12 p.m. The Canadian Ski Council President, Colin Chedore, is cordially inviting you to join the Canadian Ski Council for the official launch and 30th anniversary of National Ski and Snowboard Week (NSSW) taking place at Horseshoe Resort, Barrie, ON, on Friday January 12`" 2007. Brought to you by your friends at Samsung and the Canadian Ski Council, National Ski & Snowboard Week is a celebration of Canada's favourite past-times: skiing and snowboarding! For nine days every winter, ski areas across the country hold special events at their ski areas including discounts on lesson packages like Discover Skiing and snowboarding, outdoor barbecues, contests, fun races, children's events, parties, and the list goes on! And this year there is another reason for to celebrate, it's NSSW's 30th anniversary! The Canadian Ski Council and Horseshoe Resort welcome you to join us to help kick off this celebration of snow! The official launch of NSSW aC Horseshoe Resort will begin at 12 p.m, on Friday January I2th. There are lots of activities and plenty of photo opportunities planned for this event, including the official ribbon cutting ceremony that will include a synchronized ski demonstration by the Canadian Ski Instructors' Alliance demo team, members of the Canadian Association of Disabled Skiers and Freestyle Skiing Ontario members. Martin Kimble, Chairman of the Ontario Snow Resorts Association, Colin Chedore, President of the Canadian Ski Council and Bob Park a Samsung representative and other VIP's and dignitaries will also be in attendance. A special media luncheon will follow the ribbon cutting ceremony. Also planned for the launch event at Horseshoe is the participation of SO top Grade 5 students from an inner city Toronto area school, who will be participating in ski lessons. Horseshoe Resort and other ski industry partners have generously donated the gift of skiing and snowboarding to these ]0-year-old children, many whom ordinarily would not have the opportunity [o get out and enjoy a day on the slopes. With the rising threat of obesity related diseases, a health problem that plagues many Canadians, there is no better time to promote the benefits of becoming involved in a recreational activity, especially during the cold winter months. Skiing and snowboarding are accessible to all Canadians and can be affordable winter sports. However, many children who live right in the Toronto area are never given the chance to get out and enjoy the benefits of these healthy winter activities. This lucky group of 5'h graders have been working hard and making the grade in order to be included in this ski and Snowboard experience. We hope this day on the slopes will enhance their lives and provide them with a chance to develop skills and a love for the sport that will last their entire lifetime! Each of the 50 students will not only receive complimentary ski and Snowboard lessons and the equipment rentals they need to get them up and sliding on the slopes but other prominent industry partners have agreed to outfit the kids to keep them warm during their outing and get them skiing and riding in style. The class of 5th graders will each receive brand new gloves from Swany to keep their hands toasty warm, stylish toques from Samsung and a tasty lunch supplied by Horseshoe Resort for their day on the slopes. L The Canadian Ski Council is extremely grateful to industry partners for making this ski excursion possible for these students. Partners include: Horseshoe Resort, Samsung Canada, and _ _ Swany Gloves. ' Be sure to mark January 12`h on your calendar! It's a great opportunity to spend a day on the slopes, tour Horseshoe Resort and join us for lunch! For complete information on the official launch ceremonies and to RSVP, please contact: *If you are able to attend and would like to join us for lunch, please be sure to RSVP with Amanda Ferguson, Canadian Ski Council.

Ian Kirkpatrick, Vice President of Ski and Snow Sports, Horseshoe Resort, states, "We have been fortunate to have cold enough temperatures to make snow at Horseshoe and our snow coverage is good.

Date: January 10, 2007 Motion R.M. File #: Date: Roll #: BACKGROUND: The township has received a request for assistance in the construction of an outdoor ice rink in E.L Crawford Park from Sherri Coulson and neighbours. Also a second request was received for Council to consider an outdoor ice rink from Andrea Ronan, Karen Penrose and Rob Prouty in the Shellswell Park. In May and June of 2006 Council received a deputation from the residents of Harbourwood to consider the construction of a playground in Shellswell Park. The decision of Council was to bring the request forward during the 2007 budget deliberations for consideration and that staff liaise with the community. The Township received afollow-up letter December 19, 2006 (attachment 1) from Andrea Ronan, Karen Penrose and Rob Prouty requesting for Council to consider a skating rink and also the correspondence restated the previous request for the construction of other recreational structures. For Council's review mapping has been provided (attachment 2). ~~ Given the winter season is upon us, this report is being provided to make i recommendations on these two requests for the construction of an outdoor ice rink. The other portion of the request fora "park with lovely gardens, a park with a playground, a possible multi use pad, a gathering place and a water front park" which is capital in nature, has been previously referred to the 2007 budget deliberations. ANALYSIS: There is currently 4 outdoor ice rinks in municipally owned parks that are constructed and maintained by the local communities. a) Ramey Memorial Park - Has a concrete pad (ice surface) that was a 50/50 cost share with the Township and Residents (capital) b) Shanty Bay - Has a concrete pad (ice surface) that was a 50/50 cost share with the Township and Residents.(capital) c) Sprucewood subdivision -Residents construct and maintain the ice surface on the retention pond (not capital) d) Ravines of Medonte -Residents construct and maintain the ice rink (not capital). It should be noted that the Township provides garbage pick-up and grass cutting at locations a and b. The volunteers prepare and maintain the pads/ice surfaces. There are various methods that can be used to construct an outdoor ice rink. The two most common methods are: 1) Using snow to construct a berm to enclose the area to be flooded. This method is the most cost effective and can be done easily through community volunteers. 2) Another method to construct an ice pad is to utilize a 2x4 or 2x6 wood frame to contain the ice surface. This method was requested by Sherri Coulson and Neighbours for EL Crawford Park. While the framing method makes the initial ice construction a little easier, it also increases the Townships exposure to more liability, and would require staff to assist in building and takedown of the rink. The Treasurer manages the Townships insurance portfolio and has been requested to provide information with respect to due diligence and coverage of volunteer's (attachment 3). -2- n ~4 Other materials required to construct and maintain an outdoor ice rink are shovels, and a hose which residents likely already have. EL. Crawford Park - Has a level area that would be ideal for the construction of an outdoor ice rink. This site also has a municipal self draining water source which could be used for flooding the ice surface it is located close to the potential site. Shellswell / Harbourwood Park - There is a level location located in the NW portion of Shellswell Park beside the pumphouse that could be utilized. Mr. Keith Mathieson, Director of Engineering and Environmental Services has advised that there are no municipal water sources located within the park and the water table is high in this area so hydrants are not self draining. The Townships practice is that residents do not access hydrants for water. The only option for water access would be from a private residence. There is only one home on the East side of the park (North of Lakeshore) that would be close enough to flood the surface, the homes are on a metered system so the homeowner could potentially go over the annual allotment for water usage. The Township could credit the residential account with any surplus charge for water usage. Section 12 of the Recommendations of the Recreation Master Plan outlines the guidelines for proposed community initiated capital projects on public parkland: • That the community fundraise a minimum of 50% of the funds necessary to complete the approved capital projects on public parkland; and • Upon receipt of the communities financial commitment the Township will contribute their percentage. It should be noted that each park in the township is classified as neighbourhood, community, township, regional or special open space. These classifications refer to the surrounding area that each park serves, as well as the facilities provided in each park. The construction of outdoor ice rinks constructed of snow and water are not deemed capital in nature. The precedent for construction of same is presently established by the Sprucewood subdivision residents and the Ravines of Medonte residents in which the residents respectably prepare and maintain the outdoor ice rink in their community. When residents are invited to make use of municipal property the Township must exercise due diligence. The Township is responsible to ensure that the site is safe with respect to vehicle control and pedestrian passage. Also due diligence should include continued inspections with respect to identifying hazards such as tree limbs, condition of any equipment or play area, and signage indicating "Site not supervised, use at own risk, helmets strongly recommended". -3- ~~ Outdoor ice rinks provide opportunities for winter recreation, active living. Outdoor rinks become winter playgrounds providing hours of enjoyment and recreation to all ages of people. With respect to these types of requests, policy has been established with public input through the creation of the Recreation Master Plan and the Secondary Parkland Study. Therefore it is recommended that Council continue to support residents in their desire to construct outdoor ice rinks. Procedures and guidelines have been established and will be provided to the Communities and are provided to Council for information (attachment 4). RECOMMENDA' t. THAT Report No. PR 2007-01 be received and adopted 2. THAT the correspondence from Andrea Ronan, Karen Penrose and Rob Prouty be received. 3. THAT staff liaise with residents and provide technical assistance to develop outdoor ice rinks at the E.L. Crawford Park and the Shellswell/Harbourwood Park. 4. THAT both outdoor ice rinks utilize snowfall to construct the perimeter. 5. THAT the residents be responsible for necessary equipment, including water source as required s. THAT township staff investigate the feasibility of installation of water outlet with self draining valve at the Shellswell/Harbourwood Park during the 2007budget deliberations. ~. THAT the Township authorize the use of water outlet at EL Crawford Park. 8. AND THAT Council waive the fee for-any surplus charge for water usage to prepare and maintain an outdoor ice rink at Shellswell/Harbourwood Park. Respectfully submitted, Shawn Binns Manager of Recreation and Community Services ~~r~~. ~~~ 4- December 19, 2006 Letter to: Mayor and Council ~-. ~ ~- 'f~ From: Andrea Ronan on behalf of the Harbourwood Area Playground Committee Re: Development of Shelswell Park I am a resident of Harbourwood and a representative of our neighbourhood playground committee. Further to our deputations on May 17th, and June 4~h, would like to further revisit and report to you our progress in the plan of a playground, multi-use pad and gathering area for neighbouring residents in the Harbourwood/Shelswell area. Also, many of the new council members may not have been present for the previous deputations and there have been staffing changes in the recreation department. This letter will provide you with some background information. Given the history of this subdivision and the surrounding Shelswell area community and its positive contributions to the neighbourhood park already, it is time for us to have a playground for our children to play at, meet other neighbours, safely gather to have fun and develop many skills both physically and socially. A park with a play structure would say to current and future residents that this is a fun, safe and family oriented community. What a great way to promote the physical activity of our children and youth when so many studies say that this important component is lacking in their daily lives. On June 15t our committee invited our neighbours to a meeting to discuss this plan. The neighbours were supportive of the plan and we discussed that the site be located north east of Lakeshore Rd. near the Pine forest in Shellswell Park as opposed to Harbourwood Park. There are essentially 3 portions of parkland in that area, the Harbourwood garden park, the Shellswell treed park, and the waterfront portion of Shellswell Park. Each of these parklands with their different uses would compliment each other nicely, a park with lovely gardens, a park with a playground and possibly multi use pad and gathering place, and a water front park. A playground in Shelswell Park would also be more accessible for the entire community. It is our understanding that Shelswell Park was donated some years ago, but remains seemingly ignored. It is evident that different councils have different priorities regarding the sale and retention of Parks. Developing Shelswell Park would be an important statement of this council's intentions to preserve parkland in this area. Through further research with other communities in Oro Medonte, we have learned that there is more than one neighbourhood park that has been approved C~ ~~ ~~ /cont'd. for full funding of the project by the township. One example completed a few years ago is the Bayview Memorial Park at Oro Beach. This park not only has a playground on the beach, but a multi use pad, picnic facility and washrooms. It seems that the area and waterfront for both this park and Shelswell park are very similar, according to a public parkland inventory map provided by the township. Another example of a playground being that in Sweetwater Park in Sugarbush. -t is our understanding that this park was developed fairly quickly by council recently with a smaller surrounding population than that of our area and as well. I think that you will agree that the Harbourwood/Shelswell area playground has been in discussion for longer than 5 years with little or no response from the township and it is long overdue to be built for this established community. It is our expectation that the Township would take the initiative and leadership with this project in the same manner that it did with Bayview Memorial Park including providing full funding for the project. The request has been in at council for years now and it is time to act on it, it is long overdue. Our next steps are to move forward with this plan as soon as we hear from council as we have a group of interested residents that are ready and willing to assist. Given the time of year the skating rink would be our priority for this winter. It may not be feasible to build amulti-use pad for this year, we understand that it is still possible to provide a rink on this parcel of land using natural snow pack and a flooding system. It seems realistic that once your budgets have been approved in February, that spring construction could take place for the playground and multi-use pad. We look forward to working with you to make this proposal a reality for our neighbourhood and our children.

File #: L06-032754 Roll #: Subject: Liability Issues -Outdoor Rinks Municipalities that allow uncontrolled access to municipally-owned outdoor facilities that are unsupervised must exercise due diligence and establish risk management controls to limit exposure to liability. In the case of outdoor rinks, similar to other recreational facilities, it is vital that the municipality establish written policies and guidelines regarding inspection, maintenance and documentation. Inspections should identify deficiencies or other hazards that may materialize, as well as provide a log of repairs, posting of warning signs or other action taken. The property upon which the outdoor rink will be located must be assessed for possible hazards such as overhanging trees, Tight standards, roadways, ravines, creeks, etc. and access to these possible hazards restricted. There may be a need to install barriers where appropriate and necessary. If fencing is installed, however, the municipality has a further obligation to inspect and maintain it on a regular basis. The outdoor facility must be segregated from vehicular traffic. Signage should be posted advising of the following: - that the facility is not supervised and that the public use the facility at its own risk - any prohibited activities such as ice hockey - that protective equipment such as CSA approved helmets are mandatory or strongly recommended - hours of operation especially if there is no lighting at the location Maintenance of the outdoor rink may be performed by volunteers. Volunteers are covered under the municipality's insurance from third party liability. To be considered a volunteer of the municipality for liability insurance purposes, an individual must meet the following requirements: C3$) - must be working under the direction and control of the municipality - the municipality must have the ability to accept, suspend or dismiss their services - the activities of the volunteer must be carried out in accordance with the guidelines and standards set by the municipality - a master/servant relationship must exist t ~ ~ _, F ~„ It may be prudent to obtain an affidavit from the volunteer attesting that: - they have received training from the municipality in the use of any equipment required - they have been advised of and understand the municipality's guidelines and standards - they will use protective equipment required by the municipality at all times As a volunteer is not remunerated by the municipality, they are not covered by Workers' Compensation in the event of injury during the performance of their duties on behalf of the municipality. It may be prudent to obtain an affidavit from the volunteer stating they assume all risks associated with the duties they are performing and indemnify the municipality from all liability from personal injury unless the injury is as a result of negligence on the part of the municipality. -2- AT?ACLHI'V1G-.tJ's (~~ Township of Oro - Medonte Community Outdoor Rink ~ i a Roles and Responsibilities t `~ `"" Townshi Res onsibilities Rink Volunteer Res onsibilities Find Suitable location in Park Demonstrate Communit Su ort for Rink Provide Technical Assistance Coordinate Volunteer Efforts on Communit and a oint Rink Chair Provide Water Source if available Provide Water source from home if one is not available Provide Site Diagram of where rink will be installed Creating and distributing a flooders schedule (2 people per flood, easier to move hoses, and safer), Provide Instruction on how to flood and create ice surface Forward names and numbers of volunteers to Parks and Recreation De artment Ensure Proper Signage is Located at Rink Prepare Ice Surface, Flood routinely, shovel, clear and repair ice surface as needed usin volunteers Ins ect Rink Routine) Provide Shovels and Hoses Liase with Rink Chair and Community regarding the outdoor rink and provide assistance as re wired Report any vandalism, damage, misuse, or safety concerns to Parks and Recreation De artment Immediate) Ins ect ice routine) and re ort concerns Rink Chair to train additional volunteers and ensure all necessary paperwork is completed and forwarded to Parks and Recreation De artment Ensure Water System is locked and e ui ment stored after use Take res onsibility of all e ui ment used c~-,-~ } k ~ g...~ '!, Ice Making Procedures and Guidelines ICE RINK PREPARATION AND SET-UP: The most common rink size is 100'x 60'. The rink you build can be smaller depending on the area available, but is not to exceed 120' x 60. Small Rink (70' X 40') Pleasure rink (100'x 60') Material Required (Heavy Duty Hose, Plastic Nozel, Shovels, Rakes) • grass should be cut short • leaves should be raked up prior to ice making otherwise they melt through the ice and can create holes. ICE MAKING SUGGESTIONS To make ice, you need athree-day stretch of cold when night temperatures are no more than -YO°C to -15°C and day temperatures don't rise above freezing. The colder the better. • after snow is on the ground, shovel the rink area so that you have 1-2 inches of snow. • there should be about 1" of frost in the ground. • pack snow berm around the perimeter of ice surface the berms should be 6" in height and be parked tightly to fill all voids. • set nozzle to a fine spray, (almost a mist) • keep moving and wet down base by moving around the perimeter • leaving the hose in one place for too long will result in holes forming in the ice • hot water for resurfacing promotes a smooth ice surface • a heavy piece of wood can also be used to smooth the surface by dragging it over the top of the ice • it is very important to have a good base of snow for ice making Sugar cube approach is done by heavily watering the snow, imagine each section of snow is a large sugar cube. The darkening on the surface gives a good indication of the degree of saturation. C~~~ ,FF-.~ ~~ ~~ Slush method: create slush working in small sections; 1. water the ground 2. work it into slush with a snow shovel to smooth it out 3. move along and do it again 4. work in lanes (walking backwards) The following night; • use an open ended hose -you want as much water on the ground as possible in a short amount of time • flood evenly • you may be able to flood 1-2 times in one night, depending on the size of the rink area ICE MAINTENANCE TIPS: • when ice is cracked or pitted repair ice surface by grabbing a hand full of snow and filling in the damaged areas • the thickness of the ice needs to be 4 - 6" to survive sudden thaws • snow should be removed as soon as possible, as a thick blanket of snow can result in an ice/snow combination that will ruin the surface COORDINATING RINK VOLUNTEERS All Volunteers must fill out the Township of Oro-Medonte Volunteer Application, and receive an orientation prior to commencing volunteer duties. A Rink Chair will be designated by the community. The Rink Chair is responsible for the following: • Training rink volunteers (safety, use of equipment, flooding procedures etc.) • Creating and distributing a flooders schedule (2 people per flood, easier to move hoses, and safer) • Distributing a list of flooders names and telephone numbers to the Manager of Recreation and Community Services • Inform flooders of pick-up/drop off location for materials • Notifying Manager of Recreation and Community Services if any issues arise ~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~ HOW TO DEAL WITH VANDALISM Parks and outdoor ice rinks are targets for vandalism. It is the community's responsibility to watch the area and report any acts of vandalism. When reporting vandalism to the Police, it is important to let them know we want the person(s) charged and we ask for restitution. The replacement of vandalized boards, hoses, and shovels are the responsibility of the Rink Committee. If vandalism reoccurs in your park, Parks and Recreation staff and your rink committee will need to look at other alternatives. OUTDOOR RINK SAFETY It is important that any potential hazard (within the park) be reported at immediately to the Manager of Recreation and Community Services, so that it can be repaired/replaced as soon as possible to avoid any accidents. Neighbourhood rink volunteers are covered under the Townships third party liability insurance. This insurance does not cover Worker's Compensation or personal coverage. We must all work together to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone using our rinks. No objects such as nets or lights shall be installed in park or ice surface without prior consultation and permission obtained through parks and recreation department. Signs to be posted as directed by the Township of Oro-Medonte Routine Site Checks Assess what maintenance needs to be done. ex: daily scraping, cutting snowbanks back, patching holes in the ice, flooding, garbage pick up on the park. THINGS TO LOOK FOR: Ice surfaces • holes or cracks in the ice • shrinkage factor (surface area small) • identify needed maintenance • are they clear; any patches through to ground Pathways • any icy patches on walking ~E~ paths • are doorways clear Equipment • check shovels and scrapers for loose bolts and damage • hoses; loose joints, cracks • Water Source lock if applicable • Return Equipment for next volunteer Garbage Remove any Litter from Site Resources Weather www.weathe rnetwork.com www.ec.gc.ca www.canada.com/weathe r Ice Making www. backyard ice rin k.com www.icedreams.ca ~`~m~~ f ;' ~~ ~ t<~ ONTARIO SMALL URBAN MUNIGIPALITIES ASSOCIATION OF MUNICIPALITIES OF ONTARIO December 12, 2006 Dear Heads of Council, Members of Council and Staff, Re: 2007 OSUM Conference & Trade Show This letter is your first invitation to attend our 54`" Annual Conference and Trade Show to be held in the Municipality of Midland from May 2 - 4, 2007.
