Welcome & Introduction of Gary Skelding — Township Law Enforcement Officer 2. Purpose of the meeting was 0o get input ou advice io Council oou/dhcTree Preservation Bylaw. Council asked the Habitat Working Group of OMEGA to investigate this — after the Committee of Adjustment unanimously urged Council to "consider aTree Preservation Bylaw as a means to ensure that the Official Plan is adhered to." Key points Oym the discussions: a. Need tobc consistent with the Simme County Official Plan b. There will be initial difficulties with enforcement — then it would evolve into acceptance and more compliance c. Any ^uieur-cut" should he offset with equivalent planting d. VVe should ^^ourvcy" our residents first, before wc embark onu new bylaw. Nq!L The report handed out at the meeting has a sample survey which could be used. c. The Bylaw would have to address the issue of existing lots and homes which have never had a tree preservation bylaw / tree cutting restrictions. f. All new developments should have Tree Preservation in the Site Plan Agreements and the Plans ofSubdivision g. Any tree removal should require u^'nzp1uuemoeot" tree planting h. The Bylaw would have "exceptions" such as: dead trees, unstable trees, trees used by owner (firewood), road construction, Crown wants/needs, Site Plan Aareements, Wood Lot Management, invasive species, official Building Permits, pit or quarry, surveying, etc. i. Township should consider an EDUCATION step: (value of trees, species, tree management principles, etc. j The TVG should evaluate the success / experience with Cu|cdon`uTPB k.

Please see Dave Featherstone's e-mail below with the summary of accomplishments. |am pleased by the work accomplished by staff to date. Aoa personal note, Glenn Switzer and | kayaked completely around the lake this summer observing and photographing shoreline development while assessing the natural shoreline health. I must say overall the lake shoreline is in good shape, given the number of cottages on it. Of Coarse there is always room for improvement, stewardship wise. | think one ofthe main stewardship strategies will beto protect the great features on the lake and not let them degrade. These will be finalized in the spring of 2009. It is anticipated that Lake Stewardship projects will then get underway in 2009 consistent with the reports, including the NVCA/Municipal and Bass Lake Environmental Committee recommendations Don't hesitate to call, me but Dave Featherstone and Fred Dobbs are the experts on this project.

Wilson; Glenn Switzer Cc: ban0ckenden; Nah3Sha Forbni Subject: Bass Lake/Om-MedonteUpdate Good morning! We are moving forward with the Bass Lake initiative and have also undertaken water quality monitoring in other portions of Oro-Medonte as part of our Severn Sound Headwaters monitoring program. A brief outline oftasks completed/in progress is provided below. Bass Lake Property-by-property shoreline surveys for the entire lake were completed in July. These surveys (coarse results) will ba used tosupport the Bass Lake Watershed Report Card. Fine-scale results will be used to identify potential shoreline restoration projects in 2009. Mid-lake temperature/dissolved oxygen profiling was completed in late August. The mid-lake profile is similar tothat identified by the Severn Sound Environmental Association, indicating that meuotroph|u conditions continue topersist within the lake. This information will be used h/support the Report Card. Instrearn temperature loggers were deployed along all major tributaries of Bass Lake in August to understand the thermal prof i| rtia|eoftheaeayotems. This work was followed by benthic sampling in October which will be used to identify the health of these tributary systems in the Report Card. Benthiceamp|eo were also collected from neamhore areas cd Bass Lake. Sample processing and analyses are near completion. | participated in the Bass Lake Environmental Tour onAugust 23.2008.This was an excellent learning opportunity for myself and I hopefully provided some "colour commentary" that increased residents' broader knowledge of the area. The Bass Lake Report Card (first draft) is currently being developed. At this point, the report card will document natural heritage conditions within the Bass Lake catchment as well as within the lake itself. Preliminary analyses indicate that catchment and lake health is good and that maintaining/enhancing existing conditions though stewardship is key. Stewardship messaging will form the second half o[ the report card. A first draft Vf the Bass Lake Report Card will ba generated in December 2008 and will be provided to the Township and Bass Lake Ratepayers Association (and circulated internally at NVCA) for review with revisions/dialogue to continue through Januerv/February2OOQ. | anticipate that the final Bass Lake Report Card will be produced by April 1, 2009 so as to be available for Bass Lake cottagers in time for the summer season. Connie 8hno and others have inquired regarding the suitability rf Bass Lake for loons. Ae part of our summer field work, we surveyed shoreline and tributary mouth areas to identify potential nesting habitat. VVe also were able hoqualitatively observe fish and wildlife use along the lake. We will be preparing a short report on the suitability of Bass Lake for loons which will be accompanied by recommendations for potential nesting platform locations ea well andesign plans for nesting platform construction. This report will accompany the first draft of the Bass Lake Report Card. Severn Sound Headwaters Instrearn temperature loggers were deployed at six stations on the Coldwater River and Sturgeon River in August 2008. Benthio samples were collected a< these six stations in October 2OOB. The results from this sampling will bo used for future Severn Sound Headwaters Report Card updates. Please let me know if you need anything else.

C � , �'.J NOV 2 6 2008 November 15, 2008 County Farm Fro Dear Your Worship, Mayor Hughes and Oro - Medonte Township Councilors, Thanks to your support, the new Farm Fresh Buy local Guide Map for 2008 has been a big successl Consumers and residents have found it very useful and enlightening... (Many had NO IDEA there were so many farms selling such a rich diversity of quality food in Simcoe County) The map has attracted several new members to Simcoe County Farm Fresh Marketing Assoc, as well more who will be joining for 2009 from all parts of the county. It is our intention to produce another paper map for 2009. It will include the new additional members and corresponding further geographic areas depicting their locations in the County. As you know, Simcoe County Farm Fresh is a grass -roots association of area family farms and food businesses who grow, raise, harvest and serve local food in Simcoe County. It was formed in 2005 and became a non - profit corporation in 2007. The purpose of the Simcoe County Farm Fresh Marketing Association (SCFFMA) is to promote to consumers /eaters, the environmental, economic and health benefits of buying locally produced food and more specifically, the excellent quality food grown and raised within the County of Simcoe. As a follow -up to our presentation at County Council, on October 28th, we are contacting all municipal governments in Simcoe County to ask for support in this project. As you already know, support for our local farming community is extremely important to our local economy, as well as maintaining a healthy local food system. Once again, plans for the 2009 marketing campaign and to help augment our website, www.simcoecountyformfresh.ca is producing the paper guide map. The map will list all member farms, farmers' markets and restaurants /caterers, in Simcoe County, complete with website links. This guide would serve to connect consumers - eaters directly to farms and businesses who are selling wholesome, nutritious, locally produced food. Simcoe County Farm Fresh Marketing Association Non - Profit Corp. 13-4 Alliance Blvd. Suite 227, Barrie, ON L4M 7G3 P. 705 734-2075 F: 705 734-7633 infoPsimcoecountyfarmfresh.ca www.simcoecountyfarmfresh.ca SCFFMA would welcome a contribution once again from Oro-Medonte Township for this initiative. The total cost of this project will be approx $18,000. We are asking for $625.00 from each municipality to help with the costs of production. We are also seeking funding support from the "Ontario Market Initiative Fund." Our primary funder for the S.C. Farm Fresh marketing project is from Agri-Food Canada through the Agricultural Adaptation Council. This funding covers mainly staff time. Our goal for 200• is to produce & distribute 150,000 maps throughout Simcoe County • May, 2009. (In 2008 we produced and distributed 113,000 maps) If you have any questions, please contact me at any time. I do look forward to hearing from you. Warmest regards, Sandra J.
