ADJOURNMENT: 3 M«»� d » § 2� �Aa' Trustee Committee, former Guthrie United Church c/o Edna Caldwell, Secretary 274 Line 3 South, R.R. 1 Shanty Bay, ON LOL 21-0 January 19, 2007 Mayor and Council Members Township of Oro - Medonte 148 Line 7 South, Box 100 Oro, Ontario LOL 2X0 Dear Mayor and Council Members: Re: Guthrie United Church You will be aware that the Guthrie United Church has sat empty since the congregation ceased to exist as of December 31, 2004. Since that time, a trustee committee made up of former members of the congregation, has taken responsibility for day to day property matters. The building and land are now owned by the Toronto Conference of The United Church of Canada. Since it assumed ownership, the Toronto Conference has tried to find ways to save the building. As of this date, there have been no appropriate solutions offered, and the Conference is facing the unwelcome prospect of having the building razed. Oro - Medonte would lose one of its most visible links with its early history. The present Guthrie United Church began as a Presbyterian church in 1891, in its current location, replacing the original church that was built in 1861. As a result of church union, it has been within The United Church of Canada since 1925. Due to its presence close to Highway 11 at the 4a' Line of Oro - Medonte and next door to the Oro - Medonte Community Arena, Guthrie United Church commands attention and is an enduring reminder of our township's past. It is the belief of the trustees of the church, as well as the owners, that losing this attractive building would be a tragedy for the community, both church - related and township -wide. In keeping with the new township council's announced intention to consult with township residents widely on matters of particular community interest, we propose that Oro - Medonte township appoint a citizens' committee to study possible uses and occupancies /2 `- -2- of the church building and make recommendations to Council. We are aware of the interest already shown by the Oro - Medonte History Association and expect that there may be several other township - related groups that might have an interest. As well, it is possible that the township administration may wish to use the space for meetings or administrative purposes. We respectfully request that the citizens' committee should include at least two representatives of the former congregation and such other members of the community who have interest and /or expertise in maintaining this part of our heritage. At the discretion of council, the committee mandate should include a date for reporting back. The trustees of the former Guthrie United Church and a local representative of Toronto Conference Property Advisory Committee, Fred Beck, are strongly supportive of this initiative and would welcome township and community involvement in seeking a positive outcome. Yours truly Edna Caldwell, Secretary Trustee Committee of former Guthrie United Church c.c.

We have now received federal Ecogifts approval of the appraised value of this property at . As you know, the O'Brien family members have agreed to a substantial donation of a portion of their interests in the property, and neighbouring landowners have done an amazing job of raising the remaining funds needed. You might be interested to know that they have personally canvassed over 400 homes, and achieved a 38% participation rate for donations. Earlier this week, our Board approved the waiving of the final conditions on the agreement of purchase and sale for Church Woods. The closing date for the transfer of ownership will take place no later than February 16, 2007, and may occur earlier if the vendors are ready. Accordingly, we are requesting the transfer of funds from the Township, in the amount of a $60,000.00 grant (as approved by Council on June 21/06) plus a $30,000.00 interest - free loan (as approved by Council on December 13/06). We anticipate being able to repay the loan within a few months, when several outstanding grants and donations have been received. Please make the cheque payable to The Couchiching Conservancy. If you require any additional details, please let me know. We could also arrange to pick up the cheque when it is ready. Thank you again for your support.

I understand that currently if there has been any severence from a farm lot since the 1960s or 70s that we are unable to take any further severance. I own a 114.5 acre farm property that had a severence prior to my ownership (purchased in 1996) which is prohibiting me from creating a 10+ acre lot parcel. While I understand the concept of preserving the rural / agricultural nature of our township I do not understand halting development all together. Surely the creation of a 10 acre hobby farm does not pose a threat to the rural atmosphere. I am requesting that council make point of reviewing these restrictions in the official plan that would allow for some growth and development within rural parameters. Sincerely, Jeannine La Caille FIRM 1429 Moonstone Rd (lot 15 Con 3) Midland, On L4R 4K3 1/29/2007 From: David Williams Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 11:32 PM To: Zielenlewski, Jennifer Subject: Oro Station Community Hail Please forward to the Oro- Medonte Council... thank you. Dear Oro- Medonte Council: On behalf of the community of Oro Station, I would like to request that a grant for the Oro Station Community Hall be considered once again. We continue to be used regularly by the Playschool, the Oro Seniors, weekly card parties and many family functions. This year, after the required inspection of our furnace and oil tank, it was determined that.we needed a new fumace. Unfortunately, this occurred in early December, so a decision was made immediately to purchase a new furnace, as we were concerned about pipes freezing if we left it for long. As you will appreciate, the bill has left us struggling even more this winter. We would be most appreciative to be included when you are making budget decisions. Thank you for your continued support.

Of Oro - Medonte I am replying to the proposed General amendments to the Comprehensive Zoning by -law No. 97 - 95 of the Twp. Of Oro - Medonte #2006- ZBA -08 specifically to the environmental protection areas in the centre of Cone. I lots 1- 2 -3 -4. The water course that runs into Lake Simcoe only runs a few days each spring and follows a definite channel. It passes under our farm drive in a 18" culvert, the Ridge Road in a 36" culvert and under the railbed in a walk thru tunnel. I feel this E.P. area should continue right to the lake - the water does not stop at the road. The proposed width of the stream is shown to be much wider than it actually is. Councillor Agnew is familiar with this water course. There is a swampy area with continuously flowing springs on the Lakeshore just east of this water course that I feel should be included as E.P. land. At the back of our farm the new area is much improved but there is one area it appears they followed the fence lines and have included quite an area of dry land in Lots 3 and 4. See the map where I have drawn the possible improvements that could be made. I am in favour of protecting our wet lands but lets be consistent and draw the lines in the right place.

As promised, our Board of Directors thoroughly reviewed your letter at their December 15, 2006 meeting. I have been asked to A respond on behalf of the Board and will address several points as outlined in your letter. (1) First, I would like to clarify that there is no legal action pending by the Conservation Watershed Authority. (2) We are aware that some of your Association members have contributed to the Lake For Life Simcoe Conservation Foundation and I thank you for that. I also need to clarify that the Foundation is a separate organization and dollars donated to the Foundation are utilized only for watershed restoration projects, environmental education and summer camps, tree planting, and advancing lake and watershed science. (3) The Conservation Authority is involved in many program areas that are supported by our municipalities. These include environmental education, land securement and protection (thorugh ownership of 1000 hectares of conservation lands) , urban and rural restoration projects (completed over600 projects since 1990), planting of over 3 million trees in the watershed, advancing science on the lake and watershed, source water protection, plan input and review, flood plain regulations and enforcement of environmental protection throughout the watershed. A very minor component of our budget is used for legal issues, however, attendance at OMB Hearings does require legal support. We are disappointed to hearthatyou are questioning municipalities participation in the conservation authority given the above valued services. We are aware that there may not be agreement regarding the Authority's planning comments, however, this does not negate the excellent work that has been done in other areas as noted above.. R�^ (4) In relation to your email of June 9", it was appropriate that this be passed onto our �1 lawyer given thatthe Moon Point application had been appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board. My understanding was that you were requesting the Authority endorse the Conservation preparation of an additonal EIS, and this was not appropriate given that the application ONTARIO was before a Hearing Tribunal. Natural Champions (5) In relation to the conditions placed on the development, I am pleased to advise you that the following will be implemented: ... /Page 2 Ms. Marry O- Farrell- Bowers December 18, 2006 Page 2 of 2 (a) Our Manager of Engineering and Technical Services will review stormwater management measures and a report with enhanced protection (MOE 2003) ; general lot grading and proposed elevations; building envelopes; septic system locations; driveway locations; erosion control measures and a report; site servicing locations and areas where existing vegetation is to be retained. Our Manager has been a Professional Engineer for over 20 years and has been involved in the review of hundreds of conditions similar to these. (b) The Owner must secure a written authorization for the Authority in relation to the outfall design and construction in accordance with the Federal Fisheries Act. Our Senior Fisheries Biologist and Engineer will review this design. (c) A Tree Preservation and Shoreline Access Plan will be prepared for the Authority's approval and reviewed by our Forester, Ecologist and Biologist. (d) The Authority will ensure A Natural Environment Stewardship Manual for prospective purchasers will be prepared prior to building authorization. Our Manager, Watershed Stewardship will review this Manual. (e) The Authority will develop an Inspection and Enforcement Program with the municipality during the construction phase of the subdivision. (6) We concur with you that we should be working together. We recently had a good meeting with the Rescue Lake Simcoe Coalition where the Authority was given the opportunity to discuss our role in commenting on planning applications as well as what we can. and cannot do in relation to The Planning Act. In my email dated December 15,2006 1 requested the opportunity to meet with you and the Moon Point Homeowners Association and look forward to hearing from you regarding a date, time and location for this meeting. We would certainly be prepared to come to Oro - Medonte and meet with you at any time to discuss this important matter. Mary, our Board of Directors is highly committed to the protection and restoration of the Lake Simcoe ed and we welcome the opportunity to meet with you and discuss this further.

CARRIED r i December 4`s, 2006 Gayle Wood Lake Simcoe Regional Conservation Authority Re: Complaint to Law Society Against David R. Donnelly, Case No. 0022426 Dear Ms. Wood I am writing on behalf of the Moon Point Homeowners Association to express our grave displeasure and astonishment with the actions of the LSRCA in regards to your threatened legal action and complaint against David Donnelly. As you know we are a community homeowners association who reside in the Township of Oro - Medonte. As such, we pay taxes to the Township and expect that our tax dollars will be used wisely. Part of our taxes is used to contribute to the LSRCA to ensure that our beautiful Lake Simcoe and its watersheds are protected. We have also, as concerned citizens, contributed privately to your Foundation again with the expectation that the donated monies be used to protect Lake Simcoe. Both as taxpayers and individuals we do not expect our hard earned dollars to be used in legal battles against strong environmentalists who fight to protect Lake Simcoe and our environment. Rather we expect the monies to be used wisely to support initiatives to protect our watersheds. Needless to say we are direly concerned when we received documentation that details that you have not only used our dollars to hire a lawyer, to threaten defamation action, but also to submit and defend complaints to The Law Society of Upper Canada regarding Mr. Donnelly's conduct. Surely there must be better use of these dollars and we are confident that other taxpayers and personal contributors would be equally concerned and distressed. One has to question and challenge the position of townships contributing monies to the LSRCA if their dollars are to be used in the manner which you have opted to use in the case of the above noted actions. Surely our new council in Oro - Medonte will have to reconsider its membership with your Authority when the vast majority of candidates during the municipal campaign stated that they did not and would not support the approval of the Moon Point subdivision. We assume when our new council members are advised that monies are being used to hire legal expertise to fight environmental lawyers advocating on our behalf, that this will add to their decision making when considering continued membership. We also expected that we would receive a response to our email to Ms. Woods dated June 9s' rather than an email which details that you have passed the email on to your lawyers. We had contacted you several times to address our concerns and at no time have we received information back detailing your position. It should also be noted that your lawyers have yet to respond to the email as well and we would at the very least expect some type of notification that they had indeed received our email and that a response was being drafted. Again, you should be reminded that it is the public's monies which are being used to cover the legal expenses which you have initiated. It would have been a much wiser use of taxpayer's dollars to respond yourself rather than hire a lawyer to oppose the introduction of new evidence in regards to the potential of salamander breeding on the subject property. In the eyes of the public it was truly ironic and very pathetic indeed to see a lawyer who represents the LSRCA oppose the introduction of strong evidence from Mr. Robert Bowles, a field naturalist upon whom the LSCRA recently bestowed an award. This evidence could have saved Moon Point. A much wiser choice would have been to use the monies to hire an expert and complete further scientific work on the Moon Point property to corroborate the findings of Mr. Bowles. As you are aware, several people and environmental groups have expressed grave concerns about the approval of the Moon Point development and you are viewed as the approving agency. How do you plan to monitor this development and ensure that the conditions imposed by the OMB are indeed complied with? One can only hope that your response would not be that it is the Township's sole responsibility as they relied on your agency to review the EIS and one would hope that you have a concrete plan in place to support your recommendations. It would be helpful and reassuring to citizens to view your plan of implementation and have an opportunity to publicly comment on it. In regards to Mr. Donnelly himself, he went up and beyond the call of duty to advocate for the friends of Moon Point. As you are aware he provided services to us and without the support of Mr. Donnelly and Environmental Defence, our concerns would not have been as thoroughly and passionately represented. The fact that you are now challenging his professional and personal integrity is beyond belief. We, as stewards of the environment and the lake, should be working together to protect the lake, not involved in legal procedures which take away from the monies that could be used to save the lake. There is something terribly wrong here and we believe that you have a responsibility to remedy the situation. In closing, we would like a response to this correspondence, hopefully not from lawyers, but rather from staff at the LSRCA. We would like you to address the questions detailed in the above noted letter in a timely fashion. This entire experience has deeply saddened and soured the friends of Moon Point and we would like to have our faith in the system renewed. This is a critical time for townships, governments and private citizens and we should be working together and not attempting to divide and conquer. History confirms that this does not work for any issue and the health of Lake Simcoe is much too important to risk.

" The importance of this statement was demonstrated over and over again during my tenure as Chair of the Authority for the past 3 years, and as a member of the Board of Directors since 1998. The things we do every day have an accumulative effect on our environment, and we must all take the time to listen and become better educated on how to become better environmental stewards. Although we are making a positive impact with limited resources, it is important that we continue to lobby for provincial funding to allow us to better serve our municipalities and the public. We need to remind the Province of its responsi- bilities to fully Band nd new Source Water Protection initiatives a nd to become bet- ter funding partners with Conservation Authorities as we work to meet our goals of enhancing, protecting and preserving Ontario's Natural Heritage Features. It has been a privilege serving with dedicated municipal politicians, a supportive Executive Committee,, and the dedicated staff of the Authority who continually provide their knowledge and expertise in the interest of conservation. Fromm the CAO/Secretary/Treasurer 2005 was another busy and productive year at the NV A. We exceeded many of our business targets, including: • planting an additional 10,530 trees for a, total of 96,000 tree seedlings on 162 acres across the watershed; • supporting an additional 16 healthy waters projects resulting in improved water quality and fisheries habitat; • increasing our stream health monitoring efforts by establishing 15 additional biological monitoring stations and 5 temperature stations, which will allow the NV CA to Publish our first comprehensive Watershed Health results in late 2006 or early 2007; developing enhanced Hazard Area mapping for the entire watershed to support the May neric Regulations implementation, which included holding several public open houses; completing the first phase of the Source Water Protection Provincial initiative on time, and on budget. The Assimilation Capacity Study (ACS) initiated in 2004, was undertaken in partnership with Lake Sim- coe Region CA, local municipalities and the province. The study, which is phase one of the four phases of the Inter-Govern mental Action Plan (IGAP), provides water quality science to support, sustainable growth in two major watersheds - the Nottawasaga Diver and Lake Simcoe. The ACS has been suc- cessfully completed and the results will be released when all IGAP phases have been completed. The IGAP program may be one of the most important initiatives to impact our municipalities for many years. IGAP, involving the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, '1 E, I and Simcoe area mu- nicipalities, will address concerns about environmental protection, population growth, servicing and transportation, to help municipalities plan for future growth. These are exciting times for Conservation Authorities, and I am extremely proud of the team of staff and board members at the NVCA who are committed to delivering effective programs to meet our vision of Conserving our Healthy Waters. 3 ) I'll "a �� NVCA 2005 Annual Report 2006 Ge- Corporate Services Providing support services to staff and the Board of Directors to ensure accurate financial activities and . .... ........ . ...... . ...... .. ..

Warm temperatures com- bined with spring rains resulted in significant runoff and flooding in the Nottawasaga River and its tributaries. Staff provided tech- nical expertise for flood forecasting and warning to area residents particularly af- fected structures within the Town of Angus. The Pine River caused minor flooding in the Angus Plaza but no serious damages were reported.

Watershed Wetlands Wetlands were identified throughout the watershed in support of the Generic Regulation. This identification exercise built on past wetland evaluation efforts by the Ministry of Natural PP4-,niirrP4-, and the NVCA_ and will help nrotect these iMDortant watershed features in the 6 NVCA 2005 Annual Report Engineering and Technical Services about their communities. GIS Day is a global event that celebrates GI S technology—the innovative technology that uses geography to bring countless benefits to the world. The NV CA, in partnership with the Counties of Dufferin, Grey and Simcoe, provided an opportunity for those curious about GI S to see its applications in action. Many GI S professionals, students and teachers, attended the event where we demonstrated GI —a computer-based mapping tool that takes geographic features from a database, such as streets, buildings, wa- ter features, and terrain,, and turns it into visual layers. The ability to see this on a map makes it easier for users to visualize and interpret informa- tion enabling planners,, engineers, and others to make informed decisions Biomonitorins ooking at stream insects and instream temperature sampling are important tools used to monitor the health of watershed streams. ........... Subwatershed Report Card . ........... A Subwatershed Report Card was developed for the Upper Notta wasaga River in 2005, documenting the health of forests, wetlands and streams. A Watershed Health Report, including report cards for all NVCA sub watersheds, will be produced in 2006. 7 NVCA 2005 Annual Report and Water Stewardship Services Partnering with the community to work on local projects that protect and restore our environment, and helps ensure the future of our healthy water Healthy Waters Program We visited 61 landowners, received 41 applications and completed 36 projects for this Grant Incen- tive Program in 2-005. In addition, through the Ministry of Natural Resources Canada-Ontario Agreement fund, we completed two priority livestock exclusion projects which will considerably improve water quality within the Nottawasaga River watershed. Funds for this program support best manage- ment projects that contribute to water quality improvements.

We acquired and built specialized equipment designed to safely apply herbicides required to prepare sites for tree planting, and to care for the trees post plant- ing. This equipment gave us the ability to prepare riparian sites safely, and enabled us to complete many projects in-house, generating revenue and reducing out-sourcing costs. The following table out- lines the tree planting programs per municipality: Seed Collection n 2005 we launched our own seed collection. We collected red oak from seed zones 33 and 34, as well as northern hackberry from the Mine sing Wet- land. The seed was sent to Somerville Seedlings, who will be growing the trees specifically for the NVCA Forestry Program. These seeds will be the best ge- netic match possible for our watershed. The Northern hackberry was collected as a trial to see if the species can be collected, propa- gated, and planted as a replacement for green and black ash which are at risk due to the pending arrival of the Emerald Ash Borer. Tiffin Conservation Area Management Plan Was completed in 2005. The plan summarize the current state of the Tiffin Conservation Area while providing a framework for management in the future. Outdoor classroom, Tiffin Conservation Area We were very excited to enter into a partnership with the Rotary Club of Barrie to build an outdoor classroom at the Tiffin Conservation Area. The building will provide children the opportunity to learn outside, yet be protected during inclement weather. The building was officially opened at the NVCA Earth Day open house in April. Lands Program Brochures The guide to Minesing Swamp and the Nottawasaga River Canoe Route map brochures were com- pleted. We are very pleased that the cost of the brochures was sponsored by some of our corporate partners. The CA, Lands Enforcement program was initiated in early 2005 with uniformed staff making appearances on all of our lands to educate and ensure Section 29 of the CA Act is being followed. 9 HVCA 2005 Annual Report Planning Services Providing professional planning expertise to conserve the environment in a watershed based ecosystem through an open and responsible approach soon- ......... ... . .. ........ ........... . ... ... ... .. ... .... .. .. ... ... ....

In May, 2005, the Full Authority approved a revised Ponds Policy. The policy provides the pros and cons of pond construction and maintenance and a frame- work that will manage pond development and rede- velopment on an ecosystem (watershed) basis. It also clearly describes when and where permits are required for pond construction or maintenance. "Wise" Land Use Planning Provincial Initiatives The Provincial Policy Statement which came into effect on 1 March 2005,, is now a much stronger planning tool. All planning agencies "shall I)e consistent witlf' this Policy Statement. It di- rects development to existing settlement areas and promotes intensification and redevelopment, which in turn protects our rural natural heritage systems and water resources. There is also a new section WATER",Fwhich requires that all planning agencies protect and improving water quality and quantity. The Places to Grow Act which received royal assent on June 13, 2005, provides a legislative framework for the coordination. and integration of long-term planning and growth recognizing the need for adequate roads, sewers and water etc. This Act promotes a Bill 136 Proi e t de tn i 136 As Atl y ilxding ffir I in wr I-vwt4iwPwui pdu ir— Lk M&n LIE CFIJMAm IdgNiWC ted VFhwth pljna rr 4k limm, 4f ** vm:t I hr 14wL [A I INQN ,e]>44- .36 I'Leana go healthy environment and a co-ordinated approach to growth related issues that cross municipal boundaries. The legislation requires that a growth plan be created for our area (Growth Plan for the Greater Golden, Horseshoe) and that local plans would have to conform to the provincial plan. This process will require that development be located in complete communities and in settlements areas, further pro- moting intensification. All local municipal planning documents will have to be adjusted to conform to the Places to Grow Act and resulting Growth Plans and be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement. As this official plan irconformity' process is completed over the net several years, NVCA and municipal planners will have two very strong documents to assist them in ensuring the protection our natural environment.

Conservation Authority (NVCA) watershed are generally healthy with large forest blocks providing significant habitat for wildlife species which require undisturbed, deep forest habitat to thrive. Over the past sixty years, reforestation of marginal agricultural lands has increased forest cover in the watershed; however, forest cover is Linder pressure from urban development and farmland expansion in some areas. Significant forest cover is generally found oil lands that are unsuitable for agriculture. Areas with highly productive farmland, such as the Innisfil Creek Subwatershed, have relatively low forest cover. Upland forests are dominant along the mantled slopes of the Niagara Escarpment and the rolling hills of the Oro and Oak Ridges Moraines. Lowland forests and swamps are most abundant in low-lying areas above the Escarpment and in the Simcoe Lowlands. A number of these forests are considered Forest cover extending from northeastward from the Pine River watershed through the Severn Sound Headwaters is an integral part. of a natural corridor that extends northeast from the Niagara Escarpment to the Canadian Shield.

Surface water qual ity conditions are good within 7 of the 10 subwatershed areas. However, combined watershed impacts result in fair to poor water quality in the main Nottawasaga River downstream of Alliston. The Innisfil Creek Subwatershed stands out as a key contributor to degraded conditions in the Middle and Lower Nottawasaga River. Recent studies have confirmed that high nutrient (phosphorus) loading is the most significant water quality issue within the watershed. Land use has a strong influence on stream health within the watershed. Streams that drain areas with healthy forest and wetland cover are generally healthy. Streams that drain highly urbanized or intensively farmed areas are often unhealthy. Stream health tends to improve as streams move through forest and wetland areas, particularly if new sources of water (springs) enter the system. Runoff from agricultural and urban lands contribute to high nutrient and sediment loads which impact water quality. Un- controlled livestock access to streams also contributes to these pollutant loads. Removal of streamside vegetation de- grades stream habitat and can make the stream too warm for trout. Ponds constructed on streams also warm the water and can block fish passage. Despite fair to poor surface water quality within the middle and lower river reaches,, the Nottawasacya River watershed Z-1 boasts the largest population of migratory rainbow trout in �> % Southern Ontario as well as healthy populations of resident NV G Nov. 2aX U I P1 /-one 1 !

Bacteria (E, coll) levels in watershed streams have not been monitored since the mid- 1990s, At that time,, most stations had levels above those recommended as safe for swimming. However, area beaches (Wasaga Beach, Earl Rowe Provincial Park, Tottenham Conservation Area, New Lowell Conservation Area) are regularly monitored for bacteria during the summer months. In recent years, these beaches have generally tested safe for swimming.

Gvabe Wetland Conditions Wetland conditions within the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority Watershed are generally good. Large expanses of wetlands can be found on poorly drained lands on the Dundalk Plain above the Niagara Escarpment and the Simcoe Lowlands in the central portion of the watershed. Long, narrow wetlands are often found along river valleys as well as along the Georgian Bay shoreline. Wetlands in some portions of the watershed are under pressure from urban and agricultural expansion. Groundwater recharge in some wetlands maintains groundwater supplies while groundwater discharge from other wetlands maintains cold stream flows that support trout. Wetlands provide natural flood control throughout the watershed and filter pollutants before they enter stream systems. Marsh and swamp wetlands within the watershed provide important habitat for a wide range of wildlife. The Minesing Wetlands, located in the heart of the watershed, is recognized as an internationally significant wetland. It Supports a number of rare plant and wildlife species and protects Wasaga Beach from flooding. The wettand marshes along the Collingwood shoreline are found only in certain areas along .?

As part of the annual budgeting process the SSEA has considered operation costs over a five -year horizon. The overall municipal share for 2006 has been $103.000. The share of that cost from the Township of Oro - Medonte has been $15,213 (or 14.77 %). The overall municipal share of the SSEA budget for 2007 will increase slightly to $106,090 as per discussion with the SSEA (an increase of 3 %). Accordingly, the request for the 2007 SSEA budget from the Township of Oro - Medonte is $15,670. This amount covers SSEA operation and does not include requests for special project funding. During 2007, major activities of the SSEA will involve the following. • Sustainability Plan for Severn Sound • Source Water Protection • Habitat Assessment • Plan Input and Review • Healthy Streams Project • Monitoring (Open water, Streams, Beaches, Groundwater, Benthos, Fish, Habitat) We are continuing with the 3 -year FCM Project to develop a sustainability plan for the Severn Sound area. The Township of Oro - Medonte portion of the municipal share of this project for 2007 will be $5,170. The total municipal share of $35,000 for the year will be matched by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Thank you for your continuing support and participation in the Environmental Association. We also appreciate the leadership provided by Councilor Ralph Hough, your representative on the Association. If I can answer any questions or if you would like a deputation to present our request please contact me.

The parties acknowledge and agree with the provisions of this Agreement by signing below: Municipal Property Assessment Corporation The Corporation of the Municipality of Per: Per: Title: Title: Date: Date: No mba 16, 2006 MPAC Products Licence Agreement Explanatory Notes The following paragraphs have been developed to as a guide to summarize and clarify the terms and conditions of MPAC's new licence agreement. Each paragraph relates to the numbered clause of the licence agreement. 1) Introduces the concept of a Product Use Sheet. The Product Use Sheets enable the municipality to sign a foundation Licence covering all products and the Product Use Sheets, which provides the exceptions, terms and conditions specific to each product. 2) Recognizes that all 24 paragraphs in the foundation Licence agreement apply to each product. However, any provision of the foundation Licence can be overridden by the unique conditions that are reflected in the Product Use Sheets. 3) Provides the municipality with a non - exclusive and non - transferable right to use MPAC products for the following purposes. • For the municipality's internal planning requirements in accordance with the provisions of Section 53 of the Assessment Act. • To meet those municipal obligations where a statute specifies use of assessment roll data ("statutory obligations "), such as under the: i. Municipal Act — to issue property tax bills, ii. Development Services Act, Drainage Act and other relevant Acts - to issue a notice by mail to an owner at the address shown on the last revised assessment or, if applicable, to the address shown on the notice of a change of ownership of land received by the clerk, and • To better serve the needs of property taxpayers as outlined in the applicable Product Use Sheets. 4) Indicates that the municipality will not modify the Product except for those purposes identified in Paragraph 3. 5) Re- enforces paragraph 3 and indicates that the municipality will not share any product, except where it is required to meet its statutory obligations, municipal planning requirements or to provide enhanced service to municipal taxpayers as outlined in the Product Use Sheet. Further, the municipality will not display assessment - related data in a publicly accessible location without a signed MPAC Product Use Sheet. 6) Provides flexibility for the Municipality to engage a Consultant to: assist with municipal planning, to meet a statutory obligation or provide enhanced service to taxpayers, providing MPAC is notified and the Municipality has contractually bound the Consultant before the product is delivered to the Consultant. 7) Recognizes that MPAC is not necessarily the owner of all the data contained in the product. Further, it recognizes that only designated individuals involved in the planning process or in meeting the municipality's statutory obligations will use the product. 8) This paragraph recognizes that MPAC and/or its suppliers hold any copyright, intellectual and proprietary rights to the products. 9) Reinforces that the municipality will ensure that the products are secure and protected from unauthorized access. 10) While MPAC will endeavour to deliver consistently high quality products in a timely fashion, this paragraph recognizes that problems or errors may occur and MPAC provides no guarantee or warranty for the products. Nmwba 16, 2006 11) Similar to paragraph 10, this paragraph recognizes that problems may occur and MPAC P s not liable for late delivery, problems or errors in the products. Additionally, it recognizes that the municipality is responsible to MPAC and its suppliers should it breach this agreement. The municipality may wish to include similar provisions in any sub - license agreements to ensure that the municipality is indemnified as well. 12) Similar to paragraphs 10 and 11, this paragraph contains specific disclaimers regarding the delivery of products through MPAC's web site. 13) This paragraph recognizes that MPAC and its suppliers could suffer commercially by any unauthorized product disclosure. 14) This paragraph is covered in MPAC's existing licence agreements. It has been expanded in the new agreement and requires adherence to all relevant privacy and access to information laws and any privacy guidelines issued by MPAC's suppliers. 15) Indicates that the municipality will maintain adequate records for at least two years and, if required, MPAC may conduct an audit of the municipality's records and/or systems to ensure compliance with the agreement. This clause is common in intellectual property licences and is a business requirement for MPAC. 16) The municipality will ensure that any copyrights, ownership notifications and use restrictions are not removed from the products. 17) This paragraph indicates that the Agreement will be terminated if the municipality continues to be in breach of the Agreement after receiving notice from MPAC. Additionally, this paragraph recognizes that MPAC could move for injunction to prevent continued breach. 18) Enforces the use of the product for the term of the Agreement (and for non - online products used beyond the term) and indicates that the municipality will destroy the products if the Agreement is terminated. 19) The agreement is expressly confined for use by the municipality. 20) This sets out the term of The Agreement. 21) This paragraph completes the Agreement and clearly rules out any other "understandings" between the parties. For example, if the terms and conditions are not included in the foundation agreement or product use sheets, it is not part of the Agreement unless parties sign some form of amending documentation. 22) This paragraph indicates that if the Agreement is terminated, the cited paragraphs will continue to exist. 23) Indicates that the laws of Ontario govern this Agreement. If the Municipality retains a Consultant who is based outside Ontario, the Municipality, in its contract engaging the Consultant, needs to ensure this clause is included in the contract with the Consultant. 24) Added for completeness so parties know to whom and where any notices contemplated by the parties should be sent.

TOWNSHIP OF ORO- MEDONTE REPORT Dept. Report No. To: Prepared By: FD 2007 -1 Committee of the Whole Scott Cowden Subject: Department: Council Activity Report for December, Fire and Emergency Services 2006 Date: C. of W. January 9, 2007 R.M. File #: Motion # Date: Roll #: BACKGROUND: The Fire and Emergency Services Department responded to 40 emergency calls for service in December. These were distributed as follows: House fire [Chimney]: 1 Vehicle accidents: 23 Carbon Monoxide alarms sounding: 2 Medically - related: 3 Hydro Wires down and arcing: 3 Overheated equipment/smoke mistaken for fire, miscellaneous: 8 � t) cam. m ,� ANALYSIS: The lone house fire this month started in the chimney at a house on line 10 north of Jarratt at approximately 7:30 pm on December 31. Crews from Station's 5 and 6 worked to contain the fire to the chimney and extinguish the fire, started by a very large buildup of creosote. The top of the chimney and cap had to be removed to remove obstructions and gain access. The crews did an excellent job of minimizing damage to the house and monitored the temperature in the walls to ensure that the fire did not spread. Staff also capped the chimney with a tarp after the fire as it was raining heavily that night to prevent water from getting into the house. As is expected in winter months, we attended a large number of vehicle accidents, although the mild temps meant that this number is lower than it might have been had we received the seasonal average snowfall. Inspections were conducted in December on all the major ski resort facilities to ensure they were ready to receive their seasonal guests. From November 30 to December 2, 1 was in Florida to inspect the new Pumper 6, expected for delivery in January. The truck was nearly complete and as of this writing has arrived in Canada and is receiving finishing touches before being delivered to us, likely the week of January 22 "d Also this month, Operations Mgr, Hugh Murray attended a session on new safety standards being implemented on equipment in the Fire Service. On December 8, CAO Zieleniewski and I attended the Pandemic exercise conducted by the County of Simcoe at Casino Rama. Over 200 people from municipalities across the Province and from Provincial Ministries participated in the day -long exercise designed to hone skills and prepare us in the event of a Health- Centered public emergency. Thankfully, we received only one minor call for assistance on Christmas Day and the majority of our volunteers got to spend the day celebrating the season with friends and family. We ended 2006 with a total of 565 calls for the year, up 40 from 2005 RECOMMENDATIONS : 1. THAT Report No. FD- 2007 -1 be received. Respectfully submitt ScoU,Cowden Director /Fire Chief C.A.O.

Report No. To: Prepared By: FD 2007 -2 Committee of the Whole Scott Cowden I Subject: Department: Council Emergency Response Fire and Emergency Services Agreement with Simcoe C. of W. County Paramedic Services Date: February 1, 2007 R.M. File #: Motion # Date: Roll #: BACKGROUND: Delivering timely service during a medical emergency often determines whether or not the person[s] survive. The Fire Service has been involved in delivering emergency medical services for a long time, and as time has passed our role has been enhanced and formalized. The formalization of this in Ontario came in the early 1980's after two different inquests determined that `tiering' responses- having EMS, Fire and Police attend medical emergencies best ensured rapid access and rapid intervention. There have been a number of issues over time as our roles have evolved, and we are working to ensure that the Fire Service is dispatched to the types of emergencies where we can have a positive impact, without taxing our personnel unnecessarily. We have also been concerned regarding delays to Fire Service being notified of medical emergencies as we are acutely aware of the danger to the patient of a delay in response. The Fire Service is well placed to help the community during a medical emergency. One of the main reasons for this is that the Fire Service in most communities is community- based, not regionally managed. This means that in most areas, the station and the fire fighters are already in the area, not coming in from regional stations. For example, there are six fire stations in Oro- Medonte. There are no EMS stations. We are served from stations in Coldwater, Orillia, Barrie, and one west of Craighurst on Horseshoe Valley rd. Not all of these stations are staffed 24/7, and two of them are staffed by a single unit that is responsible for all levels of medical transport in the broader area and not just emergencies, meaning that the station is often vacant. We are very aware of the energies and resources required for a volunteer fire dept. to handle emergency medical responses. In 2003, under a previous protocol for tiered response practiced by the dispatch system used by our Paramedics, we responded to 178 calls for medical 'emergencies'. This represented nearly 1/3 of our total call volume. In some of these cases, the speedy response given by our volunteers had only a limited additional benefit to the individual but our staff were being taxed by the volume of calls they were expected to attend. More recently, protocols enacted by the EMS community have dropped the Departments' volume of medical responses to more reasonable levels, [63 in 2006] but the Dept. has noted a significant number of instances this past year where the fire service was not called in a timely fashion when we would have been a benefit to the patient. This means that there was a delay in help arriving to the people who need it that the Fire Dept. could have alleviated. We have seen a number of instances where we were not called at all when our services were badly needed. We have also been called when we were not needed at all, to the exasperation of volunteers who had rushed from work or their families for incidents of a very minor nature. These experiences have echoed across the County. The Simcoe County Fire Chiefs Advisory Group representing all 16 Fire Departments in the County formed a working group along with the County Paramedic Service to develop a formal protocol and agreement so that the member municipalities could have an agreement with the County that met their individual needs while providing a good and timely service to their community. The agreement attached to this report is the result of that work. The Agreement attached describes two levels of fire department response to medical emergencies that the Central Ambulance Communication Centre [CACC] will use to determine whether or not the local Fire Department will be also dispatched. The levels are 'A' and 'B'. Level 'A' responses are nearly all medical responses. That means that for any type of medical issue, Fire Departments participating at this level will dispatch their local fire station to respond. Level 'B' responses are those that are more acute, leading to life threatening situations. Severe bleeding, choking, unconsciousness, and cardiac arrest fall into this level of response. Fire Departments participating at level 'B' will attend only the more serious where rapid response is most critical. The most important part of this agreement in our opinion is the provision that when it is determined that the response of the Fire Dept. is required, that the notification must be made within 60 seconds of the receipt of the initial call. This timeliness is critical to ensure the best possible outcome for the patient. -2- �Y Our recommendation is that the Oro- Medonte Fire and Emergency Services Department participate in this agreement with the County at Level `13' and that we review the agreement in 2008 to determine how this is working and whether a higher or other level of service will better serve the community. 1. THAT Report No. FD- 2007 -2 be received; 2. That the Township enter into this agreement with the Simcoe County Paramedic Service at Level Vas noted in the Agreement, ` Simcoe County Emergency Response Agreement'; 3. That we review this agreement in 2008 to determine its success in serving our residents. Respectfully submitted Director /Fire Chief C.A.O. Comments: C.A.O. Date: C Dept.

The use of best practice procedures will result in the prevention of transmission of communicable disease and will ultimately result in maintaining a high standard of patient care across the County and the cities of Barrie and Orillia. Best practice for Infection Prevention and Control includes; immunization, hand hygiene, personal protective equipment, cleaning and disinfection, patient approach and staff sick policies. Immunization The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) and the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit recommend certain immunizations for health care workers and those who provide personal care. First responders should ensure they are immunized according to recommendations and in doing so first responders can prevent transmission of communicable disease to patients and will also prevent contracting communicable disease transmitted from the patient. The NACI recommends the employer maintains record of immunization including booster doses at the prescribed interval. The following immunizations are recommended: Simcoe County Emergency Response Agreement 1) Tetanus and Diphtheria with booster every 10 years 2) Measles, mumps, rubella and poliomyelitis 3) Varicella (chicken pox) vaccine or confirmed history of varicella or serology confirming immunity. 4) Hepatitis B vaccination 5) Two step mantoux skin test for tuberculosis 6) Annual influenza vaccination Immunization of first responders including police and fire fighters will reduce the transmission of communicable disease. Hand Hygiene Health Canada stated in the document, Hand Washing, Disinfection and Sterilization in Health Care, "hand washing is the single most important procedure for preventing infection" . Evidence shows routine hand hygiene can significantly reduce the transmission of infections. First responder must practice good hand hygiene in an effort to reduce the transmission of communicable disease. Good hand hygiene prevents transmission of pathogens from the hands of the care provider to the patient and it also prevents transmission from the patient to the worker. Hand hygiene should be performed: • Before and after patient contact • During and after PPE removal • After cleaning equipment/vehicle • Before leaving the emergency department • Before and after handling food • Before and after smoking • After using the bathroom, or other personal body functions (sneezing, coughing) • Any time hands are visibly contaminated • Any time you cannot remember when hands were last washed • Before and after the shift Some components of good hand hygiene: • Remove all jewelry • Do not wear artificial nails as pathogens can accumulate under the artificial nails • Use adequate amounts of soap or cleanser • Rub hands to create friction • Wash for at least 15 seconds • Refrain from habits such as nail biting • Avoid hand contact with mucous membranes and conjunctiva Simcoe County Emergency Response Agreement °, Hand hygiene can be performed using soap and water or with the use of an alcohol based waterless hand sanitizer. The preferred method is to use soap and water for hand hygiene and use alcohol based sanitizers only when soap and water is not available. The use of good hand hygiene practice will serve to prevent disease transmission while maintaining a high level of patient care for patients in the County of Simcoe. Personal Protective Equipment Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be utilized by all personnel who may perform patient care while responding to emergency calls. PPE is effective in preventing the transmission of communicable disease when it is used properly. The components of PPE are: 1. N95 respirator or equivalent: A properly fitted N95 respirator is effective in preventing the transmission of airborne pathogens. The respirator protects the mucous membranes of the mouth and nose from exposure. It should be worn when responding to a patient with signs and symptoms suggestive of respiratory disease and it should also be worn when there is a risk of blood and body fluid splashes. (Please note that the majority of respiratory diseases are spread by droplet for which surgical masks are deemed appropriate. There are however some illnesses that are airbom and require a level of protection offered by a fitted N -95 mask. Given the nature of emergency response and the fact that responders rarely know diagnosis of disease prior to patient contact, an N -95 Mask is recommended.) 2. Protective Eyewear: Protective eyewear should be a style which provides protection on all sides of the eyes. They are designed to protect the conjunctiva of the eyes from exposure. Protective eyewear should be worn when responding to a patient who has signs and symptoms suggestive of respiratory disease and it should be worn when there is the risk of blood and body fluid splashes. 3. Gloves: Gloves should be worn for all patient contact. They are useful for protecting against the transmission of pathogens to and from the patient from the hands. The use of gloves does not eliminate the need for hand hygiene. 4. Gowns: Gowns are used primarily to prevent the splash of blood and body fluids on to the forearms and the clothing /uniform. Gowns should be worn when there is a danger of blood and body fluid splash. All personnel who will provide patient care should receive training in the proper use of PPE. Proper use includes the proper donning, removing and disposal of PPE. PPE must be removed and disposed of immediately following the break of patient contact and PPE must be change between patients. Do not reuse PPE. The one exception is protective eyewear which is re- usable and must be properly cleaned and disinfected prior to following removal after the break of patient contact. Simcoe County Emergency Response Agreement Cleaning and Disinfection Cleaning and disinfection of response vehicles and patient care equipment is essential to prevent the transmission of the pathogens which can cause disease. All staff using vehicles and patient care equipment should be familiar with cleaning and disinfection procedures. In addition disinfectants must be selected according to established guidelines for disinfection. Cleaning and disinfection are two distinct processes and each must be performed in order to properly disinfect items. Cleaning is the process of removing visible and non visible contamination from a surface. It is more dependent upon the physical action of cleaning not the chemical. Disinfection is a chemical process which destroys pathogens and is dependant upon the type of chemical selected. Cleaning must be done before disinfection because surface contamination can shield the pathogens from the action of the disinfectant. All equipment and surfaces used for patient care and touched by the provider or patient during the course of care must be cleaned and disinfected prior to reuse on a new patient. This will result in using clean and disinfected equipment on all patients and maintain a high standard of care for all patients in the County of Simcoe and the cities of Barrie and Orillia. Patient Approach Responders must resist the temptation to rush to the side of the patient without determining the risk of transmission of communicable disease. Time must be taken during the environmental survey to determine the risk of communicable disease transmission. The responder must be aware of things like signs and symptoms of communicable disease or the presence of blood and body fluids. Anticipate the possible risk of exposure during trauma, child birth or when performing skills such as positive pressure ventilation and suctioning. If the possibility of transmission of communicable disease cannot be ruled out then the responder must wear appropriate PPE for the situation. The Province of Ontario has recently released a guideline for Febrile Respiratory Disease. In this guideline it states caregivers should remain a minimum of one meter from a patient suspected of having respiratory disease until the risk of communicable disease can be ruled in or ruled out. The risk can be ruled in or out by assessing for fever, cough, shortness of breath and exposure history. If respiratory disease cannot be ruled out then PPE including N95 and protective eyewear must be worn. The Febrile Respiratory Disease guideline also recommends the use of a high concentration low flow oxygen mask fitted with a submicron filter for patients who require high concentration of oxygen. For patients who require low concentrations of oxygen a nasal canula under a surgical mask is appropriate. The guideline also defines some procedures as high risk respiratory procedure and states when performing these procedures, N95, protective eyewear and gloves must be worn in Simcoe County Emergency Response Agreement order to reduce the risk of disease transmission. Procedures which may be performed by first responders which are considered high risk respiratory procedures include; positive pressure ventilation with bag valve mask, airway suctioning and airway insertion. When performing these procedures proper PPE must be worn. The key to patient approach is to take the time to recognize the risk of disease transmission. Once the risk has been recognized then the responder can take appropriate measures to protect against the possibility of disease transmission. This will ultimately prevent disease transmission, increase the standard of patient care and protect the responder. Entering Declared Outbreak Areas When first responders respond to a facility or location where there has been an outbreak declared by the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit first responders must take measures to protect against disease transmission. In an area where there is a declared respiratory outbreak it is highly recommended responders have received annual influenza immunization and in addition they will wear a minimum of mask gloves and eye protection. A gown will be worn when there is risk of exposure to blood and body fluids. In an area where there has been a declared enteric (gastrointestinal) outbreak responders must wear a minimum of gloves. Gown, mask and eye protection must be worn based on the risk of exposure to blood and body fluids. Staff Sick Policies When a person comes to work when they are symptomatic with an illness, they run the risk of transmitting the illness to the patients they are caring for. With this in mind it is appropriate to have a sick policy which does not allow a person to provide patient care when they are acutely ill with any communicable disease. It is only through effective sick policy that it can be assured responders will not transmit their acute illness to the patient they care for.
