Further to the OMEGA agenda, l offer the following information as reference/speaking notes for the item on the
"Process for input into the upcoming Official Plan Review":
OMEGA, the body, can make a recommendation to Council for items to be considered during the Official Plan
Review. Council would receive the recommendation and forward it to Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) for

Dear Mayor Hughes and Members of Council:

Re: Formation of the Interim Sustainability Plan Steering Committee
As you are aware, the Severn Sound Environmental Association is moving forward
with the implementation of its Sustainability Plan. We have attached the resolution
of the Board of Directors dated January 22, 2009 for your information.
Section 4.0 of this plan describes an approach to implementing the plan, which is
founded upon the development of an Interim Sustainability Plan Steering Committee
(ISPSC).
The purpose of this committee is to design and recommend an organizational model
for the implementation of this plan. In addition, it will be developing a one-year
work plan to ensure that the Plan implementation is initiated. The ISPSC mandate
commences on April 1, 2009 and will be completed on March 31, 2010.
The Committee, which reports to the SSEA's Board of Directors, will be comprised
of the following members:
• The Chair of the SSEA (dual role also as representative of the District of
Muskoka)
• SSEA Co-ordinator
• Municipal partner representatives
• North Simcoe Community Futures Development Corporation
• Orillia Area Community Development Corporation
• County of Simcoe
• Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit
The Committee will meet for a maximum of 10 times during its tenure.
-o
tal ~s
We would appreciate it if your municipality would nominate a candidate for
participation on this ISPSC. We have worked with Mara Burton over the past year
on the Ad Hoc Steering Committee and would be pleased to have her as a member
of the ISPSC. We are aiming to confirm the membership by April 22, 2009.
Thanking you in advance.
Yours sincerely,
Keith Sherman

Dear Mayor Hughes:
At the Places to Grow summit on November 5, 2008, I presented my vision for a greener, more
competitive and prosperous future for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. I was also pleased to
announce this government's interest in investing in public infrastructure and working together
with those municipalities that share this vision to implement the Growth Plan for the Greater
Golden Horseshoe.
The Places to Grow Act, 2005 requires a council or municipal planning authority to amend its
official plan to conform to the policies in the Growth Plan within three years of it coming into
effect. The deadline for this work is June 16, 2009.
I recognize that lower-tier municipalities require certain planning work to be done by upper-tier
municipalities before they can complete their own conformity amendments. Therefore, in certain
circumstances, I am willing to consider an extension for lower-tier municipalities to bring official
plans into conformity. In order to be considered for an extension of no more than one year,
please provide a letter outlining the status of your conformity process, the reason for the required
extension, how much time is needed to finalize conformity work and a brief work plan detailing
the steps required to achieve conformity.
In the mean time, however, there is significant work that lower-tier municipalities can continue
with in preparation for official plan amendments related to conforrnit-y, including an analysis of
intensification opportunities and development of local policies to achieve complete, well-
designed, transit-supportive and pedestrian-oriented communities.
In carrying out this Growth Plan conformity work, I strongly encourage you to engage those
Aboriginal communities who have an interest in land use planning in your community, to ensure
they have an opportunity to participate in this process.
If you have any questions regarding my announcement or the process and expectations for
conforming to the Growth Plan, please feel free to contact Brad Graham, Assistant Deputy
Minister for the Ontario Growth Secretariat, at 416-325-5803 or 1-866-479-9781.
Sincerely,

Subject: Funding request to Omega
Boys, I really didn't like the way we were handling requests for funding from various groups at our
meeting last night. What would you think about having requests for funding/projects submitted twice a
year, 6 months apart so that Omega could analyse and plan where our dollars would be best spent?
There could be better ideas ou there on how to handle funding requests out there and if there are, we
should investigate them and go with the best plan so that we are handling taxpayer dollars in the
most responsiable and green way.
