Oro-Medonte History Association 06 May 2009 To: Oro-Medonte Mayor & Council, .-aux. This is an update of the 160' anniversary of the Oro African Church. The theme for the event is "Raise the Spirit", and that is what we would like the service to reflect. The event has been moved to a new date, 03 Oct 2009, because of contractual obligations by The Nathanial Deft Chorale, who have been confirmed, but not signed yet. They had another obligation in August. Priced at a much higher value than the $25.00 we are charging, it will have no significant effect on our sales. Because of the date change, we have more time in which to persuade the Governor General to attend, and search for more funding opportunities. Now that the Deft chorale has been confirmed, other acts will be more easily drawn to the event. The service at the Oro African Church will run from noon until 2:00 pm. concluding with a luncheon. The choral entertainment will begin at Trinity United, line 7, at 2:30 pm. and continue until 4:30 pm.. The Deft Chorale will sing at both events, with a finale at Trinity ending with all the choirs and entertainers involved. Trinity has been re-booked for the new date, at a preferred rate. Roy Menagh, Musical Director, will be assembling the lineup. Our MC at both sites will be Janie Cooper-Wilson, and a choir consisting of the Wilson sisters from Collingwood will perform, all of which are descendants from Wilberforce. There will be a tent for the service and Carol Benedetti is working on getting that. Shawn Binns is working on getting a culvert and gravel fill for the Interpretive Centre site, so it may possibly be used for some parking. As we stated in an earlier presentation, most of the parking will need to be on the 3`d line, north and south of the church. A coach to transport the Deft choir to and from Toronto is yet to be confirmed. There is a poster on the township web site, that will be updated frequently, as needed, htto://www.oro-medonte.ca/Communitvlnfo/History/index.htm. We are working on a list of local dignitaries from various levels of government, this council and neighboring councils, all of which will be invited to the event. We will be glad to update you at any time in the future! Thank you! Allan Howard, Chair Oro-Medonte History Association. c/o Township of Oro-Medonte, 148 Line 7 South, Oro, Ontario.

April 20, 2009 Doug Irwin County Clerk Township of Oro-Medonte 148 Line 7 South Oro, ON LOL 2X0 Dear Mr. Irwin I am writing to respectfully request an opportunity to address Council at its upcoming meeting of Wednesday, May 6th On behalf of Hospice Simcoe and the Elmvale Lions Club, I will be applying for permission to hold a Golf Ball Drop in Oro-Medonte, such as the one held by the Wasaga Beach Lions Club last year. The Elmvale Lions Club is a partner in this endeavour and as such will be splitting the proceeds between Hospice Simcoe and Hospice Huronia. The event will be held at Settlers Ghost Golf Course in Oro-Medonte, on August 9, 2009. The numbered balls will be dropped at hole number 13 from a helicopter and the ball closet to the pin will be the winner of $2,000. Spectators will be situated at the Club House, at hole number 10, 200 yards from the drop. When the balls come to rest, a member of the Elmvale Lions Club will retrieve the ball by hand. One thousand tickets at $10.00 a piece will be pre-sold, right up until the event. Sales will commence as soon as the lottery license is obtained from the City of Barrie, (Hospice Simcoe is located in Barrie). In case of inclement weather, a cherry picker will be used rather than a helicopter. Liability Insurance is held by: • Elmvale Lions Club • Dominion Pegasus • Hospice Simcoe The Lake Simcoe Regional Airport, local OPP and Fire Station have been contacted and are aware of this event. Hospice Simcoe is a charitable, volunteer-based organization, providing client centered support for those living with life threatening illness or grieving the loss of a loved one. We serve residents in Barrie, Innisfil and parts of Oro-Medonte and Springwater. Last year 200 volunteers and staff supported approximately 800 individuals/family members. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Sincerely, Faith Page 6 of 157 Agenda Item # 4b) - 9:10 a.m. Faith Orlando, Manager, Resource Development, Ho...

BUSINESS ARISING FROM MINUTES Fred Nix advised that as a result of the Board of Director Minutes 02/09 Res.#18, he received a phone message from Susan Antler, Chair of the Grist Mill Committee expressing her concern over Essa Township requesting co-ownership of the Utopia Conservation Area. Under the current lease the Grist Mill Committee is responsible for the maintenance of the property. This has put the Grist Mill Committee in a quandary as to the long term plans for the Grist Mill. Wayne Wilson, CAO/Secretary-Treasurer stated that discussions with Essa Township are in the early stages and that the NVCA is working with Essa Township on a concept. There has been no decisions made and further that it is his understanding that Essa Township is not interested in the Grist Mill but rather the Utopia Conservation Area. Deputy Mayor Terry Dowdall, member from Essa confirmed that the Township has no interest in the Grist Mill.

There was Federal support however the Province did not support the application. The reasons for not supporting the Airport's application appear to be that Barrie, a municipality with a population over 100,000, would benefit from the project and a perception that the application was inconsistent with the Places to Grow policy statement. Mayor Hughes and R Dunn attended a meeting today with an Assistant Deputy Minister and a Director with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food and Rural Affairs the M Provincial Ministry administering the Build Canada Fund. They presented a briefing note outlining the benefits of the project and the process used to develop the application. Mayor Hughes and R Dunn are attempting to arrange meetings with other Provincial Ministers in the immediate future. It was agreed that that other funding sources should be pursued, such as proposed Economic Stimulus Programs.

New Business 7.1 Epilepsy Awareness Moved by: J. LeFebvre Seconded by: V. Barycky That the agenda be approved, as amended. CARRIED 3. Approval of the minutes of the previous meeting Moved by: C. Moore Seconded by: J. LeFebvre That the minutes of the Board meeting held on January 15, 2009 be approved. CARRIED 4. Business arising from the minutes 4.1 Choice of a Fundraiser - Freda Kemp B. Molesworth stated that he had received several e-mails from Board members indicating concerns and asking him to seek clarification on a number of points from the potential fundraisers regarding their fees. He spoke to F. Kemp and she was going to be in the area on the day of this meeting, so he invited her to attend and answer the questions herself. The majority of questions centered around her fee and its structure. Would she be willing to work on commission instead of charging $5,000.00 a month? Was the $5,000.00 fee negotiable? Page 35 of 157 Agenda Item # 5d) - Midland Public Library Board, minutes of meetings held on Fe... MIDLAND PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD MEETING Page 2 of 5 DATE: February 12, 2009 LOCATION: Midland Public Library Boardroom ITEM ISSUE ACTION 4. Business arising from the minutes - continued In answer to the fee vs. commission question, F. Kemp responded by saying she is a member of Imagine Canada. This is a professional organization that used to be known as the Canadian Centre for Philanthropy. She subscribes to their ethical code which states that no commission shall be charged so that all funds raised go to the project not the fundraiser. She charges a fee for her time and expertise. It also covers her costs for commuting and accommodation. The only way her fee couli be negotiable would be if she worked fewer days in a month. Although her stated work schedule was approximately 2 1/2 days every other week, she would meet with B. Molesworth to set this out. At the beginning, she might work every week. The other questions from the Board had to do with their concern over how successful the campaign would be during these difficult economic times and finding key community volunteers to head up the fundraising drive. F. Kemp reviewed the approach she would take, applying for government grants, identifying donors in the community that love the Library and suggesting that donors might make a donation spread over 5 years. B. Molesworth thanked F. Kemp for coming and explaining her case. After F. Kemp left, B. Molesworth told the Board that he had spoken with Mayor J. Downer about A. Arlette, the other fundraiser being considered. Mayor Downer worked with A. Arlette on the Physician Recruitment campaign and had good things to say about him. A thorough discussion followed about the cost of the fundraiser and the possibility of Staff involvement. In the end, it was agreed that we need someone with her experience to run the campaign. If we take a piecemeal approach we could end up in trouble. B. Molesworth will check F. Kemp's references. G.-A. Walker asked for a motion. Moved by: A. Campbell Seconded by: J. LeFebvre That the Board approve the appointment of Freda Kemp as the fiuidraiser for the Library expansion project, as long as her references are acceptable.

MIDLAND PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD MEETING Page 3 of 5 DATE: February 12, 2009 LOCATION: Midland Public Library Boardroom ITEM ISSUE ACTION 4. Business arising from the minutes - continued 4.2 IFOA B. Molesworth spoke with the Director of the International Festival of Authors, who is very positive about a series of readings taking place in Orillia, Barrie and Midland. They hope to have some advertising available by early summer and then later on announcing the names of the authors. The IFOA will also make the application for the funding on our behalf. They are able to find out how much they can receive and then they apply for that amount. They will provide us with the advertising and then B. Molesworth will take what they have prepared to the local newspapers and ask for free space. There should not be any out of pocket expenses for the Library. B. Molesworth will be speaking with them again next week. 5. Approval of the accounts Moved by: A. Campbell Seconded by: C. Moore That the accounts for the month of January 2009 totalling $35,467.47 be approved. CARRIED 6. Reports of Board Committees 6.1 Finance Committee A. Campbell distributed the Library Financial Statement for the Month Ending January 31, 2009. He noted that a few lines seem to be high but they are items that are once or twice a year charges. P. File asked how monies received through fundraising would be tracked. B. Molesworth answered that they would flow into the Capital Fundraising Revenue line and would show over and above other monies already received for the expansion project. 6.2 Fundraising Committee Already discussed under item 4.1 of the agenda.

MIDLAND PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD MEETING Page 4 of 5 DATE: February 12, 2009 LOCATION: Midland Public Library Boardroom ITEM ISSUE ACTION 6. Reports of Board Committees - continued 6.3 Building Committee - Progress Report B. Molesworth circulated a very detailed monthly report provided by the contractor, Monteith. The whole project initially was projected to take 14 months, however, they are already 3 weeks behind. Some hazardous materials were found in the old fiction room, i.e. lead paint, and there is asbestos in the ceiling tiles in the Reference Department. Waiting for the consultants report about this held things up. It was decided that a two part approach would be best, so the lead based paint will be removed from the Fiction Room first so that it can be safely demolished. The removal of the ceiling tiles in the Reference Department will not be done until we have moved out into the expansion. The other delay was in getting the new electrical supply into the building. The original plan had to be abandoned due to the Town's plan to put in new sewer and water under Easy Street. A transformer will now be put in the parkette. We will have to look at landscaping around it. The contractor has suggested some ways of making up time. The new fire exits are in place and the old fire escape was removed today, so progress is being made. V. Barycky spoke with one of the Library Staff about a perception. on the public's part, that they might think we are closed. It was suggested that perhaps a sign could be put up on the scaffolding saying we are open B. Molesworth will look into it. 6.4 Report from the Friends B. Molesworth reported that the Friends have taken on the task of running a raffle in support of the Garden Tour. They will also be approaching local merchants about sponsorships. A. Aneroussos is working on the ticket/map for the tour. It has presented some challenges as the locations of the gardens are spread out over a large geographical area.

A request was sent from them to Midland Council who in turn suggested that they partner with the B.I.A. It was suggested that the Library be illuminated. We have large spotlight on the front lawn and B. Molesworth has contacted Walker's Electric about whether Mylar would be heat resistant enough to be used. The answer was yes. There will be a publicity campaign explaining why the purple lighting is being used. The Board agreed with the initiative. 8. Information 8.1 Chief Librarian's Report B. Molesworth reported that Staff looked at another ILS (Integrated Library System) today, so we have another one to put into the mix for selection. The big decision is whether to go with off the shelf or an Open Source system. Georgian College, which runs Symphony, the new SirsiDynix product, and the Hanover Public Library consortium, which runs Koha, an open source system, have both invited us to come and see their systems in operation. 9.

MIDLAND PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD MEETING Page 2 of 4 DATE: March 12, 2009 LOCATION: Midland Public Library Boardroom ITEM ISSUE 6. Reports of Board Committees 6.1 Finance Committee A. Campbell distributed the Library Financial Statement for the Two Months Ending February 28, 2009. 21.77% of the Operating Budget has been spent due to single annual payments that have already been paid. This should average out over the year. B. Molesworth informed the Board that he now has the 2008 year end financials. We returned an Operating surplus of $12,532.00 and a deficit of $148,000.00 in the Capital budget due to the start of construction. 6.2 Fundraising Committee B. Molesworth reported that the Fundraiser, Freda Kemp, has been in a couple of times and has spoken with Board members and some members of the community in her efforts to identify potential donors and committee members to work with her. Through this process she has been given more names of people that might be willing to help. She has drafted an application to the Rural Economic Development Grant programme and is looking at 2 or 3 other grants that we might apply for. G.A. Walker commented that F. Kemp is going to want some help from the Board. B. Molesworth then read a letter to the Board dated March 6, 2009 regarding a private donor's earlier commitment to the expansion project. B. Molesworth has spoken with Town of Midland Mayor, James Downer and CAD, Ted Walker about this matter. They have asked him to try to set up a meeting in order to gain an understanding the donor's concerns. A discussion ensued regarding the chronology of events leading to this point. B. Molesworth will keep the Board informed. 6.3 Building Committee - Meeting/Progress/Schedule B. Molesworth reported a lot of progress on the building site. He is in receipt of the 2nd progress report from the contractor but it doesn't include this week's work. The power supply to the building has been changed over to the new transformer. B. Molesworth suggested that there should probably be a Building Committee meeting about furniture and finishings and to look at the schedule for closing at the end of the year. He has already checked with the Mayor about the potential date and time of Wednesday, March 18, 2009 at 2:15 p.m. The Board members sitting on the Building Committee agreed with this.

MIDLAND PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD MEETING Page 3 of 4 DATE: March 12, 2009 LOCATION: Midland Public Library Boardroom ITEM ISSUE ACTION 6. Reports of Board Committees - continued 6.4 Report from the Friends of the Midland Public Library The Friends met with the Garden Tour Committee yesterday and will be meeting again at the end of this month. The 3rd version of the map/ticket and posters are being prepared for that meeting. The tickets should go on sale around the beginning of May, so advertising will start toward the end of April. 600 tickets will be printed. 7. New business 7.1 Bill 128 B. Molesworth outlined the history behind Bill 128 which is currently at 2"d reading in the Provincial Legislature. It is a Conservative member's bill that, if passed, would require school and public libraries to put filtering software on all public internet computers. B. Molesworth has been receiving e-mails from other Library organizations that are concerned about this issue. The City Council of Cambridge, ON has passed a motion saying that all public libraries should use filtering software and are in the process of lobbying other municipalities to do the same. R. Hackney stated that Midland Town Council had not received anything from Cambridge as yet. B. Molesworth stated that filtering computers, used by adults, is very difficult and there are many examples of how it doesn't work. In the new Children's department there will be computers set aside for children, so perhaps we could try to filter these but parents must also be vigilant. One of the other problems raised is that people are operating under a false sense of security if they think their children are completely protected. Library Staff do not act "in locus parentus". B. Molesworth will keep the Board informed of any developments. 7.2 Letter to Council re: SOS B. Molesworth read a draft of a letter that he wrote that he would like the Board to send to Council in support of the Simcoe Outreach Service. The Library has noticed a positive effect in this building since they have been working in the downtown area. R. Hackney and P. File indicated that a good, positive letter to Council can't hurt. Council is trying to find funding and is also encouraging S.O.S. to find funding. A motion was proposed.

Molesworth read a copy of an e-mail that was sent from Ms. Drabble to Councilor Stephan Kramp telling him how much she appreciates the Library service in Midland. She is a relatively new retiree to this area. 8.3 3rd Generation Public Libraries B. Molesworth reported that the Ontario Government has released a report - Third Generation Libraries - which discusses how Libraries might look in 2020. It is optimistic about the opportunities for Libraries, by incorporating new technologies with traditional service, to continue to serve the community. It predicts that the Libraries of 2020 will `respond to a new social, technological and economic environment while keeping their enduring values'. B. Molesworth has a copy of a 3 page synopsis of the report and can direct any interested Board Member to the whole report on request. Adjournment Moved by: J.

The CAO informed the Board that a meeting was held in 2008 with the Ministry of Natural Resources, Authority staff, Authority legal counsel and Mr. Donnell. This was a very productive meeting and there was some acknowledgement from MNR that peat harvesting had not been thoroughly explored in terms of the generic regulations. The Authority and the Ministry tried to work with the peat harvesting industryto make some arrangements to allow existing applications to move forward. The CAO recommended that in light of the current Lake Simcoe Protection Act and proposed Lake Simcoe Protection Plan, that Mr. Donnell meet with representatives at the staff level from the Ministry of the Environment, Ministryof Natural Resources and LSRCA to engage in further dialogue. Councillor Rupke expressed concern regarding not having the peat product produced in Ontario. If this happens, the product, as it is now, will be brought in from otherareas (ie Quebec, New Brunswick) and in some cases imported internationally questioning how this productwill be monitored and regulated for content. Councillor Rupke added that this situation needs to be seriously looked at by the Province.

Severn Sound Sustainability Plan Executive Summary our Watershed The Severn Sound watershed is over 1,000 square kilometers, and is located in south-eastern Georgian Bay. One hundred and ten thousand people live permanently in the watershed, increasing to over 200,000 people seasonally. The area is located in nine municipalities including the City of Orillia, the Towns of Midland and Penetanguishene, and the Townships of Georgian Bay, Tiny, Tay, Severn, Springwater and Oro-Medonte. The watershed is under pressure from growth. This growth may lead to a significant impact on the quality of life, the ecological balance, and the economic prosperity of the area if not carefully managed. In addition to the municipalities, there are many government and non-government organizations and community members who have interest and responsibility to ensure the continued health of our watershed. By coordinating our efforts in this Sustainability Plan, we can ensure that the watershed is protected for today, and into the future. Our Sustainability Plan The SSEA and its partner municipalities obtained funding from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities in the Fall of 2007 to develop a community-based Sustainability Plan. A Steering Committee was formed, along with a community-based Sustainability Advisory Team to develop the plan. SSEA also attended at a number of community fairs and formed a Citizen Panel. With this input, and support of municipal councils, the Plan's draft was completed in December of 2008. Based on the success of the Remedial Action Plan, and the Picture This! Our Plan for a Healthy Community processes, the Plan includes a Vision, Goals, Strategic Directions and Actions that will, when implemented, ensure the Sustainability of the watershed for generations to come. Our Vision By 2050, the Severn Sound Watershed will contain a network of communities that have achieved a sustainable quality of life for all citizens by developing a common culture of environmental, economic and social balance. Our Gaols Goals and have been developed under three "Pillars"- Environmental Sustainability, Economic Prosperity and Community Well-Being.

Next Steps Now that the Plan is complete, it will move forward to implementation. The strategies and actions will be integrated into existing and new policies and programs of municipalities, government and non- government agencies. To co-ordinate the implementation of the Plan, an Interim Sustainability Plan Steering Committee (ISPSC) will be established for one year (beginning April 2009). In addition, partner organizations will be encouraged to participate in the Plan's implementation by "adopting" strategies and actions for implementation. The ISPSC will consist of representatives from the 9 member municipalities, the SSEA Board Chair, the SSEA Co-ordinator, the Orillia Area Community Futures Development Corporation, the North Simcoe Community Futures Development Corporation, the County of Simcoe, and the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit. Any ideas and input for actions to implement the Plan are welcomed. To register your feedback, please contact our office (sseacommunicationsPtown.midland.on.ca , www.severnsound.ca , 705-527-5166).

RECEIVED APR 14 2009 ORO-MG00NT1FRO ?ERTY TAX MEMO FOR CLERKS AND TREASURERS REGARDING TQW NSHIF I AFFORDABLE HOUSING The County of Simcoe and Member Municipalities have provided financial contributions to affordable rental housing projects funded under the first two rounds of the Canada- Ontario Affordable Housing Program. The Program provides federal/provincial funds of up to $70,000 per unit to build rental housing at rents that are 80% of average market rents. Affordable rents must be maintained for twenty years. The minimum municipal requirement under the Program is that property taxes for the affordable units must be at or below the single residential rate, or an equivalent contribution is in place. Under the previous round of the Program, known as Wave 1, the County agreed to provide an annual grant to affordable housing projects, for twenty years, equivalent to the difference between upper tier taxes that will be levied from a project at the multi-residential rate and the upper tier taxes that would be levied against a project if it were taxed at the single residential rate. Participating Member Municipalities agreed to do likewise in respect of the lower tier taxes. The federal and provincial budgets of 2009 have committed the following combined amounts for the creation of more affordable housing across Ontario: • $360M for the development of affordable housing for low income seniors and people with disabilities, • $175M to extend the Canada-Ontario Affordable Housing Program, to provide housing for families, senior citizens, persons living with mental illness and victims of domestic violence. It is expected that this money will be committed over the next two years, providing at least 4500 new units of affordable housing across Ontario. Program guidelines and funding allocations have not yet been determined by the Province. However, it is expected that the Province will want a quick response to take up funds, as the federal funding is available over the next two years only, as part of the economic stimulus package. In order to make a relatively quick response to funding opportunities, the County is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) in mid April to make use of funds to build more affordable housing. The RFP will be open until mid May. The intent is to evaluate proposals in late May and early June. In the absence of program guidelines it is assumed that program criteria will be similar to Wave 1. These criteria included the property tax requirements described above. The guidelines for the new program are expected from the Province by the end of May, 2009. County staff will prepare a report for consideration by the Human Services Committee in May or June, on the property tax requirement. The report will likely recommend the same Page 60 of 157 Agenda Item # 6b) - Lealand Sibbick, Deputy Treasurer; John Connell, Program Sup... approach as used under Wave 1, i.e. the provision of an annual grant for twenty years, equivalent to the upper tier single residential/multi-residential property tax differential for approved projects. In order for an affordable housing project to qualify for program funds, the member municipality in which a project would be located would also need to provide a grant in respect of the lower tier tax differential. The grants would not be payable until the end of the first year after occupancy. Projects would continue to be taxed at the multi-residential rate. In order to evaluate and recommend projects for funding, it would be helpful if member municipalities could begin to consider whether or not they wish to provide such a grant in order to facilitate affordable housing development in their area. If a member municipality wishes, it could wait until the RFP closes to see if a project is proposed in its area, before making a decision about the grant, or it could commit to provide any necessary grants in advance of the RFP closing date. In either case, it would be helpful for the County to have a resolution from member municipalities by the end of June, 2009, confirming their participation in the tax grant requirement. This will enable the County to move forward in recommending projects to the Province for funding approval as soon as possible. If the new guidelines do not contain this property tax requirement, the County will communicate this to you as soon as we become aware.

April 28, 2009 1. Douglas Irwin Clerk Township Oro-Medonte 148 Line 7 South Oro ON LOL 2X0 Dear Mayor and Council I am writing with the hopes of having and escalating problem with the road allowance South of Horseshoe Valley Road. From time to time the Township has assisted in putting in fill and doing grading to help remove the ruts that have been created on this road allowance. Unfortunately this road allowance has become an attraction for four wheel drive vehicles, especially trucks for off road driving. It is surprising the great distances that some travel to use this road allowance. They are using the road allowance at times when the road is so soft that it cuts deep ruts making it impassable for those of us who use it to access our properties. The situation is so pronounced that it is not possible to keep repairing the damage from one day to the next. The amount of illegal dumping utilizing this road allowance is also on the increase. I am requesting that council take action to limit the motorized vehicular use of this road allowance to local property owners. In making this request I am aware that there may be some enforcement problems. However, signage with fines for violation and a type of barrier that would prevent large vehicles from entering with the provision allowing passage for local property owners would have some positive impact.

May 4, 2009 His Worship Harry Hughes Mayor, The Township of Oro-Medonte 148 Line 7 South, Box 100 Oro, ON LOL 2X0 Dear Mayor Hughes Subject: Carley Community Hall This letter serves to express the Carley Community Hall Board's dire concern and surprise over the recent Fire Marshall's recommendation to temporarily close the Hall until certain improvements are made to meet Code, and to plead that the Township of Oro-Medonte provides the estimated $5,000 in funding to permit these improvements to be made. Mayor Hughes, as you are aware, we are a hardworking, enthusiastic, and dedicated Board that, since our inception in 2005, has initiated several new fundraising opportunities as well as continue with established Carley Hall events. These events raised sufficient funds that accumulated to an extent that allowed us to significantly renovate and improve the kitchen at Carley Hall. Finally, and after many hundreds of hours spent fundraising, we are now in the position to realize significant rental activity and to host community events because our kitchen is adequately equipped and meets the health code. We are in disbelief that after all of our efforts, the Hall may now be faced with closure if the Township does not pay to have the fire safety repairs completed. Over the past few years, the Board has organized community membersadults and children alike- to contribute significant volunteer hours towards the upkeep of the hall. This includes weekly summer grass cutting and gardening, lawn raking, spring cleaning, ongoing Hall maintenance and repair, helping out at events, and, in August 2007, major interior improvements such as baseboard installation, wall repair, and wall painting all of this has been accomplished while most of us work outside the home and/or raise busy families. In addition to their time, the community members have contributed money from their own pockets towards many of the improvements and supplies for fundraising events. The Board strongly believes that the $5,000 in fire safety repairs is minimal to the volunteer hours and monies invested in the Hall through service by our community members. At this time, we have a confirmed three-day rental at the end of June by Coldwater artists who have booked our facility to showcase their work on the spring Studio Tour. This group has rented our facility for this purpose for several years in a row, and Carley Hall is shown in the brochures, which have already been printed and distributed, as a stop on the tour. We cannot imagine informing this loyal group, at the eleventh hour, that the Hall is no longer available to them. If Page 64 of 157 Agenda Item # 6d) - Kelly Meyer, Chair, Carley Community Hall, correspondence da... the Township does not cover the $5,000 expense for fire safety repairs, will it take the responsibility of informing this group that the Hall cannot open, and secure alternate space for the Studio Tour. Further, we are currently receiving other requests for Hall bookings as well as questions from the public as to when our usual events will occur. Honestly, we have no idea how to respond to these requests other than to state that the Hall is being forced to close because the Township has not yet implemented fire safety repairs, and to call the Township directly for clarification. Mayor Hughes, we want our community to use and enjoy the wonderful facility we have helped to build. We believe Carley Community Hall is a very important piece of Ontario's vanishing rural heritage and it deserves the chance to celebrate its 100x' birthday in three years. While admittedly, the Carley Community Hall Board recognizes that our situation is complicated by the Facilities Review Plan, we are simply requesting to the Township and our elected officials that the Hall continue to be open and operating in the short term at least so that we can honour our current rentals and can investigate heritage status; we are, in fact, in contact with the Historical Board to explore the potential designation of Carley Hall as a heritage building. We are most grateful to you, Councillor Mel Coutanche, and Shawn Binns for the strong support you have shown towards Carley Community Hall and we truly believe that we are all working together towards the best outcome. As Board members, are strongly committed and dedicated to ensuring Carley Hall remains a vibrant entity in our tiny rural community. We respectfully ask that you, the Mayor, and Council share our understanding that Carley Hall is worth saving and investing $5,000 towards the necessary fire safety repairs.

VIOLENCE FREE WORKPLACE Policy Statement The Township of Oro-Medonte is committed to working with its employees to provide a safe work environment. The Township will not tolerate any acts of violence and will take all reasonable and practical measures to prevent violence and protect employees from acts of violence. Please refer to Corporate Policy "Safe Workplace". Application This policy applies to all Township of Oro-Medonte employees, contractors, volunteers, students, clients of services, any person engaged in business with the Township, and visitors to Township properties. Definition For the purpose of this policy, "violence" is defined as assaults, other violent acts or threats which occur in or are related to the workplace and entail a substantial risk of physical or emotional harm to individuals, or damage to Township resources or capabilities. Responsibilities 1. Joint Health and Safety Committee is responsible for identifying hazards which include workplace violence. A hazard assessment can identify potential risks for workplace violence where the risk of injury from violence may be prevented. Appropriate precautions and measures can be recommended based on the assessment. 2. Management is responsible for ensuring that workers receive the appropriate training based on the exposure to the identified hazard. Any identified hazards need to be reviewed and appropriate action taken, in a timely manner. 3. Employees are responsible for using safe work practices, participating in training and reporting all aggressive behaviour and all acts of violence. Procedures If confronted with an incidence of violence, the individual will follow these procedures: • Remove oneself from the incident scene • Report the incident to others • Record the incident in writing • Investigate the incident with the assistance of their supervisor and the JHSC Page 2of4 Page 72 of 157 Agenda Item # 8b) - Report No. HR 2009-01, Tamara Obee, Human Resources Officer,... Procedure for Reacting to Incidences of Violence Individuals will avoid or escape from incidents of violence and seek a safe place of refuge. Once the aggressor leaves, do not attempt to detain or chase after the individual. Be alert as to the description of the aggressor for positive identification. Be prepared to provide details concerning the incident and forward to your supervisor immediately. Get medical assistance, if necessary. If evacuation of a facility is required, follow already established emergency protocols for its evacuation. Procedures for Reporting Incidents of Violence All reports of incidents or potential incidents of violence will be taken seriously and will be dealt with by the immediate supervisor in an appropriate and timely manner. Reporting emergencies representing immediate danger or harm requires an individual to call 911 immediately and then contact their supervisor. For reporting threats of violence or actions that may in the future lead to potential incidents, an individual is required to contact their supervisor immediately to determine the appropriate response. Such reports may assist in identifying patterns of potential violence and may assist in prevention of emergency situations in the future. Workplace violence may extend off Township property and may occur outside of normal working hours, and reporting responses will follow the above listed emergency or non- emergency procedures. Whether reporting an emergency or threat, critical information must be provided to others that describe the nature of the incident; whether emergency services are required, whether the perpetrator(s) are still on the premises; and whether harm or damage has been incurred. Procedures for Recording Incidents of Violence After the individual(s) has removed themselves from harm's way and reported the incident the event particulars must be recorded in written form and signed by the worker and their supervisor and/or manager. Page 3of4 Page 73 of 157 Agenda Item # 8b) - Report No. HR 2009-01, Tamara Obee, Human Resources Officer,... Procedures for Investigating Incidents of Violence For all reported emergencies, the supervisor and/or responsible department director, shall in conjunction with the affected area staff and JHSC, review the details surrounding the situation and determine the appropriate corrective action to resolve the incident issue, if any. All recommendations as a result of the investigation must be submitted immediately to the affected department director, to which a response must be received in writing within twenty- one (21) days of the recommendation date. If corrective actions are recommended, the department director shall initiate the corrective action(s) immediately. Notes: For harassment related issues, please refer to Human Resources policy - POL - HR 14. It shall be the responsibility of all employees of the Township of Oro-Medonte to ensure that they are aware of this policy by completing POL-HR-01-Form 1.

Responsibilities Employer ❑ The Corporation of the Township of Oro-Medonte shall ensure that there is a fair and consistent program for returning employees back to work. Managers and Supervisors ❑ The Department Supervisor and/or Manager shall ensure that every reasonable effort is made to provide suitable modified work to any employee who is unable to perform his/her normal duties, as a result of injury or illness, work related or otherwise. ❑ Ensure that a "Physical Demands Analysis" is conducted on the various tasks/jobs within their area of responsibility. ❑ Maintain regular contact with the injured employee on the possibility of returning the injured employee back to modified work. ❑ Communicate all information obtained from the injured employee to the Human Resources and Supervisor. Human Resources ❑ Maintain regular contact with the injured employee, treating physician and supervisor on the possibility of returning the injured employee back to modified work. Page 1 of 5 Page 75 of 157 Agenda Item # 8b) - Report No. HR 2009-01, Tamara Obee, Human Resources Officer,... ❑ Complete and provide all forms to WSIB, treating physician and injured worker in a timely manner. Employee ❑ Participate in the Modified Work Program ❑ Obtain clearance from treating physician for the return to modified work ❑ Maintain regular contact with Human Resources. ❑ Bring to their immediate Supervisor any concerns about their modified work duties so those potential problems could be resolved quickly Joint Health and Safety Committee ❑ Be consulted when conducting Physical Demands Analysis and developing the Return to Work Program ❑ Monitor the Return to Work Program and, if required, make recommendation(s) to enhance the program. Procedure The Supervisor determines the success of the Modified Work Program; their worker's acceptance and/or non-acceptance of the modified work as a credible, useful program will reflect their cooperation and demeanor. As employees are looking for fairness, the modified work program needs to be administered equitably and monitored closely. At all times, everyone must be aware of the timeframe of the modified work and its progressive work-hardening structure. The goal is to return the worker to his/her pre-injury work... the premise being "WHEN" not "IF". The procedure is as follows: 1. When the Supervisor and/or Manager becomes aware of any workplace injury, he/she must complete the "Incident/Accident Occurance Form", as per Township of Oro-Medonte's investigation and documentation procedure, and inform the Department Head and Human Resources of the occurrence immediately. 2. The Supervisor and Human Resources shall maintain regular communication between each other, including the injured employee, to determine the nature of the injury and possible return to work date and duties (modified or pre-injury). Page 2 of 5 Page 76 of 157 Agenda Item # 8b) - Report No. HR 2009-01, Tamara Obee, Human Resources Officer,... 3. Human Resources shall forward Functional Abilities (FA) Form to the injured employee, to be provided by the employee to their physician to obtain restrictions, if any. 4. When the Supervisor and/or Human Resources receive information indicating that the employee may return to work with certain limitation, as outlined in the FA Form, the Supervisor must review all Physical Demands Analysis to determine which task and/or job suits the stated restrictions. 5. The Supervisor must organize, with the assistance of Human Resources the placement of an injured employee in a modified job wherever possible. 6. When an employee returns to work following a work related injury only, Human Resources must complete Form 9 and forward it to WSIB. 7. Once the injured employee returns to a modified job, the Supervisor must meet with the employee on the first day, prior to start of his/her shift, for an information session and to facilitate the Return to Work. The Supervisor shall inform the Human Resources of the progress. 8.

GENERAL Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) provides secondary method of protection where it is not possible to eliminate or control source of hazard. Every worker must wear or use such PPE, clothing equipment or devices necessary for the worker's protection from hazards to which the employee may be exposed. Only 'PPE approved by the appropriate safety associations (CSA, NIOSH, NFPA, etc.) will be used. Training in the use and maintenance of PPE will be provided. Specific PPE needs will be identified at each workplace, in accordance with accepted industry standards and practices. The Joint Health and Safety Committee will audit compliance to this procedure during their inspections and through review of accidents and incidents. DEFINITION Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is specialized clothing or equipment worn by workers for protection against health and safety hazards. Personal protective equipment is designed to protect many parts of the body, i.e., eyes, head, face, hands, feet, and ears. SPECIFIC GUIDELINES FOR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Head Protection 1. Hard hats are required by all workers on construction sites (see definition below), right of ways and where there is any danger of injury from falling objects or from striking the head on overhead objects. 2. Hard hats shall not be drilled, painted or worn reversed. 3. No items shall be added to or worn with a hard hat that impedes its proper function. 4. Other protective headgear may be assigned to protect individuals from long term exposure to the sun, elements, or other hazards as determined by the supervisor or job task. 5. Bump caps do not meet CSA or ANSI standards and therefore should not be worn. "construction" includes erection, alteration, repair, dismantling, demolition, structural maintenance, painting, land clearing, earth moving, grading, excavating, trenching, digging, boring, drilling, blasting, or concreting, the installation of any machinery or plant, and any work or undertaking in connection with a project but does not include any work or undertaking underground in a mine. Page 2of6 Page 81 of 157 Agenda Item # 8b) - Report No. HR 2009-01, Tamara Obee, Human Resources Officer,... Proper care of Hard Hats 1. Internal harness must be properly adjusted to fit snugly 2. Must be checked for visible damage before each use 3. Must be destroyed after a severe blow 4. Must not be painted, drilled or otherwise altered 5. Must be cleaned according to manufacturer's instructions 6. Must be placed in vehicles so that the hard hat does not become a flying hazard in case of a sudden stop 7. Chinstraps, if equipped, shall not be stretched or drawn over brim 8. Additions of accessories may affect degree of protection 9. Winter liners must be flame proof 10. For optimum levels of electric shock protection avoid water, oil and grease on hard hat Eye Protection (Safety Glasses) All workers exposed to the potential hazard of an eye injury will wear CSA approved eye and/or face protection appropriate for the protection of the hazard involved (UV-A and B protection for outside staff) No worker shall enter an area identified as an Eye Hazard area without the proper safety eye wear. Proper care of Eye Protection (Safety Glasses) 1. Clean safety glasses daily. Avoid rough handling which can scratch lenses - scratches impair vision and will weaken lenses. 2. Store safety glasses in clean, dry place where they cannot fall or be stepped on. 3. Replace scratched, pitted, broken, bent or ill-fitting glasses - damaged glasses interfere with vision and do not provide adequate protection Hearing Protection All workers exposed to noise levels above 85dBA or higher shall wear appropriate hearing protection. Hazardous noise levels will be identified through workplace assessments and manufacturers specifications. Once the assessment is completed, the supervisor is responsible for taking appropriate action - the supervisor will determine when and where hearing protection is required and direct staff to wear the required equipment. Supply and Maintenance of Hearing Equipment 1. Hearing protection will be supplied by each department. 2. Workers are responsible for the safe keeping, cleanliness, and maintenance of any hearing protection devices issued to them. 3. All defects must be reported to the supervisor immediately for replacement. Page 3 of 6 Page 82 of 157 Agenda Item # 8b) - Report No. HR 2009-01, Tamara Obee, Human Resources Officer,... Respiratory Protection All workers will be required to wear the appropriate respiratory protection when they perform work in atmospheres that may affect their health. All work areas must be properly ventilated to reduce hazards from gases, dusts, fumes, mists, or vapours. When ventilation is not practicable, staff must be provided with respirators appropriate to the hazard and be trained to use and maintain the respirators properly. Types 1. Air-purifying respirators purify inhaled air from the surrounding air but cannot replenish or increase the oxygen content. Air-purifying respirators include mechanical filters that remove solid particles such as dust and fume, and chemical cartridge filters that use substances which absorb or neutralize gases and vapours. 2. Supplied-air respirators deliver clean breathing air from a compressor or a cylinder. Two common types of supplied-air respirators are 1) Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and 2) an Air-Line Respirator. It is important that the appropriate respirator is selected to meet the specific hazards of the job. Training Workers required to wear a respirator will receive training consisting of: 1. Hazards to which they are exposed 2. Training in selection of the appropriate PPE 3. The operation, limitations and capabilities of the respirator 4. Inspection, fitting and maintenance of the respirator Fall Protection Where a worker is exposed to the hazard of falling and the surface to which he or she might fall is more than three meters below the position where he or she is situated, the worker shall wear a serviceable safety belt or harness and lifeline adequately secured to a fixed support, and so arranged that the worker cannot fall freely for a vertical distance of more than 1.5 meters. Fall-Arrest System A fall-arrest system shall consist of the following: • Full body harness or safety belt (recommended for travel-restraint only) • Lanyard • Rope grab (or triple sliding hitch) Page 4 of 6 Page 83 of 157 Agenda Item # 8b) - Report No. HR 2009-01, Tamara Obee, Human Resources Officer,... • Lifeline • Lifeline anchor All safety belts, full body harness and lanyards must be CSA certified. The full body harness should be snug-fitting and worn with all hardware and straps intact and properly fastened. Lanyards must be 16 millimeters (5/8") diameter nylon or equivalent. Lifelines must be: 16 millimeters diameter polypropylene or equivalent • Used by only one worker at a time • Free from any danger of chafing, free of cuts, abrasions, and other defects • Long enough to reach the ground or knotted at the end to prevent the lanyard from running off the lifeline • Secured to a solid object that is capable of resisting the arrest forces in case of a fall Guardrails and Barriers The most common method of fall prevention is a guardrail or similar barrier. Fall hazard guardrails and barriers must meet the minimum requirements prescribed by regulations under the OHSA. Scaffolding The use of properly erected scaffolds is an effective method for protecting workers from fall hazards. Workers erecting scaffolds must be properly trained and qualified as per OHSA requirements (Construction Regulations s. 125-136) Safe scaffold construction requirements include: • Cleated scaffold planks • Prescribed handrails and kick-plates on working platforms • Access ladders to all working platforms • Scaffold built by qualified erectors Scaffold erectors must use fall protection equipment to avoid being placed in a fall hazard situation. Training Workers who are exposed to fall hazards will receive instructions and training on the proper use and maintenance of all protection equipment.

Department/Section Policy # Health & Safety POL-HS-2-01-07 Subject Enacted by Council: Universal Precautions and Sharps Motion # Policy UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS AND SHARPS POLICY PURPOSE To ensure that all staff have the necessary information to prevent and control accidental contact with sharps and body fluids, and to ensure that proper procedure is followed in the event of accidental contact with sharps and body fluids. DEFINITIONS (1) Sharps: Refers to needles, syringes, blades, lancets, clinical glass (glass possibly contaminated with blood, body fluids or chemicals) and/or any other clinical item or items that could puncture, abrade or cut a worker or the public. (2) Body fluids: Refers to semen, vaginal secretions, synovial fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, pleural fluid, peritoneal fluid, pericardial fluid and amniotic fluid. UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS Universal precautions are prudent practices that apply to the prevention of infectious disease transmission. These precautions must be used routinely on all persons and contaminated items. Under normal circumstances, however, contact with sweat and tears do not require gloves or other personal protective equipment. These precautions must be used whenever differentiation of body fluids is difficult. Hand washing Hand washing is the single most effective means of preventing the spread of infections. Hands and other skin must be washed thoroughly and immediately with soap and water if they accidentally become contaminated with blood, body fluids, excretions, or secretions. Page 1 of 3 Page 98 of 157 Agenda Item # 8b) - Report No. HR 2009-01, Tamara Obee, Human Resources Officer,... Hands must be thoroughly and immediately washed with soap and water after removal of gloves. Sharps disposal 1. Sharp items (needles, broken glass and other sharp instruments) should be considered as potentially infectious and be handled with extraordinary care to prevent accidental injuries. 2. Found syringes and needles, and other sharp items should be placed in, a biohazard dispenser, a puncture-resistant container, designated specifically for this purpose. 3. Proper precautions must be taken when disposing of broken glass. Exposure to blood and other fluids All first aid procedures, handling of broken glass and disposal of found needles/syringes must be performed in such a manner as to reduce the possibility of direct or accidental exposure by staff. When handling blood and other body fluids, staff shall, at all time, wear latex gloves for their protection. Ventilation devices To minimize the need for emergency mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, mouthpieces, resuscitation bags or other ventilation devices should be strategically located and available for use in areas where the need for resuscitation is predictable. Blood spills Wearing gloves, wipe up the spill with soap and water. Spray the affected area with a mixture of chlorine bleach and water (9:1 concentration), leave on for 20 minutes, and clean up. Reapply as needed. Discard cleaning rags and gloves in plastic bag and tie securely prior to disposal. Notification All staff exposed to blood and body fluids shall notify their supervisor upon the exposure. Supervisor shall notify Human Resources of the occurrence immediately. HANDLING OF SHARPS This procedure is to establish guidelines for all staff employed by the Township of Oro- Medonte and are for the protection of health and safety to both, staff and public. A.

Policy Department/Section Health & Safety Subject Policy # POL-HS-2-01-09 Enacted by Council: Sun Sense SUNSENSE POLICY PURPOSE AND SCOPE Motion # To minimize and/or eliminate the potential risk of all workers involved in prolonged outside work and exposure to UV radiation. SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES Supervisor 1. Communicate and enforce the policy and procedure. 2. Ensure the appropriate personal protective equipment is provided (sunscreen and safety sunglasses). 3. Ensure that workers are aware of the hazards associated with overexposure to sun (i.e. sunburn, heat stress, skin cancer, etc.), and the recommended protection and precautions. Worker 1. Attend all training sessions. 2. Responsible to adhere to the policy and procedure. 3. Report any contravention of this policy immediately to the supervisor. GENERAL Exposure to UV radiation is an occupational health and safety concern for people who work in the sun on a regular basis. Scientific evidence indicates that the risk of developing skin cancer and certain types of cataracts increases with the amount of time directly exposed to the sun and with the intensity of UV radiation. For occupational exposure to UV radiation, Ministry of Labour (MOL) applies thresholds limit values (TLVs) recommended by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). These limits are enforced in Ontario workplaces under section 25(2)(h) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Page 1 of 2 Page 104 of 157 Agenda Item # 8b) - Report No. HR 2009-01, Tamara Obee, Human Resources Officer,... SPECIFIC GUIDELINES FOR PERSONAL PROTECTION Avoidance of Sun Exposure Whenever possible, work schedules will be adjusted to limit outdoor exposure between 11 AM and 2 PM. Where job and work cannot be changed, consideration may be given to a rotation of workers. Whenever possible, workers are encouraged to make use of shaded areas to minimize the exposure to UV radiation. Shade from trees, buildings, vehicles and other structures will be promoted. Personal Protective Equipment Clothing 1. Employees should wear loose fitting clothing covering as much of the body as possible. This will protect employees from Ultra Violet Radiation and heat coming from sunlight. Loose fitting clothing allows air movement between the clothes and the body. Caution should be taken when wearing loose fitting clothing around machinery or moving equipment. 2. Employees should wear a wide brimmed hat for maximum protection or a hard hat, if required. 3. Some personal protective equipment may increase discomfort and the chance of heat stress in hot and sunny environments. Extra caution should be taken when wearing equipment such as respirators. Sunscreen and Glasses Sunscreen should be applied to the exposed parts of the body when working in hot environments or in direct sunlight; 15 - 30 minutes before exposure. Sunscreen of 30 SPF or higher will be provided to all staff. If using in addition to insect repellant, apply repellant after/over sunscreen 2. Safety sunglasses with medium to dark lenses containing UV-A and UV-B protection should be worn, where needed. Regular Skin Examinations Workers who are exposed to UV radiation regularly should perform self-examinations of their skin on a monthly basis for any unusual changes and seek medical attention, if needed. It shall be the responsibility of all employees of the Township of Oro-Medonte to ensure that they are aware of this policy by completing POL-HR-01-Form 1.

Policy Department/Section Health & Safety Subject Heat Stress HEAT STRESS POLICY PURPOSE AND SCOPE Policy # POL-HS-2-01-10 Enacted by Council: Motion It To ensure that all employees have the necessary information to prevent and control heat stress in the workplace. This policy applies to all employees who work or may work in hot environments. SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES Employer (Township of Oro-Medonte) 1. Ensure training is provided to all supervisors 2. Ensure training is available to all staff Supervisor 1. Communicate and enforce the policy and procedure 2. Ensure that all employees who work in hot environments are properly trained in the hazards of heat stress 3. Allow employees to take appropriate control methods to reduce heat exposure Employee 1. Adhere to this policy and procedure 2. Report any symptoms of heat stress immediately to his/her supervisor DEFINITION Heat stress is a variety of conditions caused by the total net heat load on the body that results from exposure to external sources and from internal metabolic heat production as the result of work. Some examples of heat stress are heat rash, heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heatstroke. Page 1 of 4 Page 106 of 157 Agenda Item # 8b) - Report No. HR 2009-01, Tamara Obee, Human Resources Officer,... PREVENTION The key to preventing excessive heat stress is educating all staff on the hazards of working in hot environments and the benefit of implementing proper controls and work practices. The control program must include training, acclimatization, water and work/rest cycles. TRAINING All employees required to work in hot environments and their supervisors will receive training in: • the prevention, recognition and first aid treatment of heat related illnesses, • situations that might lead to heat stress, and • methods to control heat stress. GUIDELINES The following controls should be used to minimize heat stress in hot work environments or during periods of hot weather. Administrative controls Acclimatization • During periods of continuous hot weather, or • When an employee starts a new job, or • When an employee has been working in a moderate environment for a long duration and is assigned to work in hot environment, or • When an employee returns from an absence, and he/she must work in a hot environment; time will be given to acclimatize the employee to higher temperatures, if necessary. This will be done by limiting exposure to the hot environment the first day, and increasing exposure each day until acclimatization is achieved. The time for acclimatization to occur will vary depending on the individual and the task they are performing. Work Scheduling 1. Whenever possible and practical, the work schedule will be modified to accommodate moderate to heavy work during the coolest part of the workday. If this is not possible, a work/rest cycle will be implemented. 2. The frequency and length of rest breaks will be increased. In hot environments, and depending on the workload, this may involve a work/rest schedule that the employees should follow every hour. Shorter but frequent work/rest cycles are the greatest benefit to the employee. In this case, rest means minimal activity... not stopping work altogether. 3. If possible, tasks should be rotated so that the same employees are not continually working in hot environments. Page 2 of 4 Page 107 of 157 Agenda Item # 8b) - Report No. HR 2009-01, Tamara Obee, Human Resources Officer,... 4. Where possible, scheduled work breaks should be taken in an area cooler than the work area. 5. The use of shade creating equipment, such as umbrellas, is recommended, whenever and wherever possible, during peak sun exposure hours (11:00 AM to 2:00 PM) Water 1. Cool water will be provided for employees. 2. Employees will be encouraged to drink frequently even if they do not feel thirsty (one cup every 20 minutes). Clothing 1. Employees should wear loose fitting clothing covering as much of the body as possible. This will protect employees from Ultra Violet Radiation and heat coming from sunlight. Loose fitting clothing allows air movement between the clothes and the body. Caution should be taken when wearing loose fitting clothing around machinery or moving equipment. 2. Employees should wear a wide brimmed hat for maximum protection or a hard hat, if required. Personal Protective Equipment 1. Some personal protective equipment may increase discomfort and the chance of heat stress in hot environments. Extra caution should be taken when wearing equipment such as respirators and chemical suits. 2. Specialized heat reduction clothing such as cool headbands may be considered depending on the heat exposure. 3. Sunscreen should be applied to the exposed parts of the body when working in hot environments or in direct sunlight, 15 - 30 minutes before exposure. Sunscreen of 30 SPF or higher will be provided to all staff. 4. Safety sunglasses with medium to dark lenses containing UV-A and UV-B protection should be worn, where needed, when working in hot environments Note - all personal protective equipment will be provided by the supervisor. Never ignore symptoms of heat stress - even if the below recommendations are followed diligently each person responds differently to heat. Report any Symptoms to Supervisor.

Township of Proud Heritage, Exciting Future Township Ootions for the Deliverv of Environmental Programs and Services within the Severn Sound watershed BACKGROUND: In 2001, the Township of Oro-Medonte was serviced by two Conservation Authorities (NVCA and LSRCA) and one Environmental Association (SSEA) in regards to environmental matters in the Municipality. The Conservation Authorities and the Environmental Association provided programs and services within their individual watersheds. The NVCA has been providing services to the Municipality since its inception in the 1960's for approximately 20% of the Township. In late 2001, the Township became a member of the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority which began providing services within their watershed area that comprised approximately 27% of the Township. The remainder of the Township (approximately 53%) was receiving services from the Severn Sound Environmental Association in accordance with an existing agreement between the SSEA and the Township. In June 2003 the Township of Oro-Medonte and the NVCA reached agreement on the expansion of the NVCA services into that portion of Oro-Medonte that was not covered by a conservation authority. The expansion of the NVCA within the remaining 53% of the Township (Severn Sound watershed) took effect in September 2003. The intent of the partnership was to have the NVCA assist the Township in meeting their "Environment First" philosophy by providing technical and professional support to the Township and its residents. Since that time, Oro-Medonte has had coverage by the NVCA within the Severn Sound watershed and required full and complete conservation services. This portion of the Township has not only been under the jurisdiction of the NVCA but has also been receiving services from the Severn Sound Environmental Association (SSEA). The inclusion of the Severn Sound watershed lands under the NVCA was intended to ensure exceptional environmental services for the residents in this area however it was clear that the Township intended to ensure no financial or program duplication occurred. The Township understood that a Memo of Understanding (MOU) between the NVCA and SSEA would be appropriate to assist in clarifying the roles and responsibilities of each agency in order to reduce any duplication of services, to date no MOU has been established. In accordance with the Municipal Act, Council has the role of representing the public and considering the well-being and interests of the municipality, developing and evaluating the policies and programs of the municipality, determining which services the municipality provides, ensuring the accountability and transparency of the operations of the municipality, and maintaining the financial integrity of the municipality. The Township therefore has an obligation to ensure that there is an accurate accountability for all funds paid by the Township for environmental programs and services and that should this not be the situation, there is an obligation on Council to determine that these services are not provided nor funded. Page 113 of 157 Agenda Item # 10a) - Andria Leigh, Director of Development Services, re: Draft Pu... OBJECTIVES: The Township Official Plan has a vision which recognizes the location and importance of the environmental features and natural resources of the Township, the rural character of the area, the social- economic characteristics of the area, present and future needs of the residents. The primary purpose of the Township's Official Plan is to provide the basis for protecting the Township's natural heritage system while maintaining growth that will support and emphasize the Township's unique character, diversity, civic identity, rural lifestyle, and cultural heritage features and to do so in a way that has the greatest positive impact on the quality of life in Oro-Medonte. The Township has a significant number of environmental and topographical features that contribute to the sense of place felt by many of the Townships residents. The protection of these attributes is a key underlying principle of the Township's Official Plan which establishes an "Environment First" philosophy in the Township. The "Environment First" philosophy is a land use planning philosophy that is to be considered, wherever possible. Enhancing or improving natural features and ecological functions is recognized and promoted as a Township priority, to be considered with other interests in accordance with Provincial Policy and Legislation. The Township established and has continued to maintain an "Environment First" philosophy through the establishment of working groups to review policies related to the Oro Moraine and Aggregate Management, the adoption of a no fill by-law for environmental protection zoned areas in the Township, and joining into the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority in late 2001, and with the initiation of an Environmental Advisory Group (OMEGA). The Township has continued to be environmental stewards through their planning policies and implementation and their support of the mandate and programs provided by both the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority and the Severn Sound Environmental Association. The Township has however always identified the need for cost effectiveness in the provisions of these programs and services to their ratepayers and the requirement to ensure the services provided by both the NVCA and SSEA are not duplicated. The Township is therefore seeking to directly manage the co-ordination of these services in the most cost effective and efficient manner which avoids duplication of services. The primary objective of the Township is the protection of the environment, while ensuring this is completed through an efficient and effective delivery of environmental programs and services managed directly by the Township. The integration of the services provided by the Severn Sound Environmental Association with the primary objective of protecting the environment is also of importance. OPTIONS: In order for the Township to achieve the above objectives to protect the environmental while maintaining Council's obligations under the Municipal Act, there are a range of options available for the provision of environmental services within the Severn Sound watershed: Page 114 of 157 Agenda Item # 10a) - Andria Leigh, Director of Development Services, re: Draft Pu... Status Quo - The expanded jurisdiction of the NVCA within the Severn Sound watershed would continue with all programs and services being provides tinder the Regulations by the NVCA and additional services provided, including Source Water Protection, from the SSEA. The Township would continue to pay an annual levy to the NVCA and SSEA for both of their services. The Township would continue to require the execution of the previously identified Memo of Understanding between the NVCA and SSEA for the delivery of services and programs in order to avoid duplication. Expanded Memo of Understanding with NVCA- The Township has in the past requested that the NVCA consider implementing a budget format similar to the LSRCA whereby options regarding services to be provided and the respective fees for providing those services can be requested by a municipality should they chose to fund these; however the Township also have the ability to not proceed with the funding or provision of those services. Core environmental services related to Regulations would be provided by NVCA under existing levy structure, balance of environmental services identified as special benefitting to Oro-Medonte and subject to special levy. Severn Sound watershed would continue to be under jurisdiction of the NVCA and special benefitting levy would require approval of NVCA Board and would not be directly controlled by Township. 3. Agreement with NVCA and SSEA - Core environmental services to be provided through agreements between Township, NVCA, and SSEA. Township to determine which special benefitting services are to be funded by Township. Potential to download permit review; however final approval remains with NVCA Board. Severn Sound watershed to be removed from NVCA jurisdiction. 4. NVCA Provision of Regulations - Regulation services (Plan Review, Permit approvals) only to be provided by the NVCA with balance of environmental programs and services to be managed and coordinated by Township through agreements with any of the following: SSEA, NVCA, staff or consultants. Provision of all environmental services for Township to be subject to agreements which are managed and funded by Township directly. 5. Township provision of environmental services - No regulations in place, programs and services to be coordinated and managed by Township with ability to enter into fee for service agreements with SSEA and/or NVCA. Services may also be provided to the Township directly through Township staff or environmental consultants for the Township.

File For Information Only It is recommended that: 1) Report FD2009-4 be received and adopted 2) The expenses outlined in report FD2009-04 be approved and funded through reserves 3) That Warminster Community Hall be retired as a public facility 4) That Carley Community Hall be closed for public use pending the results of the Strategic Facility Plan BACKGROUND: The Fire Protection & Prevention Act (1997) is Provincial Legislation that requires that all Public Occupancy buildings in the Province of Ontario be inspected annually and that the Ontario Fire Code must be the guiding document for compliance. However, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Ontario Building Code are other standards that may be applied to the inspection process to clarify compliance. Failure to complete this requirement can result in serious charges and fines under the Act. This requirement was identified as an immediate priority by the Fire and Emergency Services Department as in the past the Township facilities had only been subjected to a minimal inspection process and within the past three (3) years had not been inspected at all. Fire Inspections were completed on all Township Facilities by a Co-op placement Fire Inspector under the guidance of the Acting, Fire Chief. The Fire Inspections identify facility deficiencies which require corrective action to be in compliance with the Fire Code. Failure to comply immediately puts the public at risk (safety) and the Municipality at risk (liability). In addition to the Fire Inspections a Fire Safety Plan was prepared for each facility and is now posted. All staff will be oriented on the Fire Safety Plan. Fire and Emergency Services May 6, 2009 Report No. FD2009-04 Page 1 of 6 Page 116 of 157 Agenda Item # 11 a) - Report No. FD 2009-04, Richard Playfair, Acting Fire Chief a... Fire Plans are requirement to ensure Occupational Health and Safety. ANALYSIS: Fire and Emeraencv Services Buildings had several deficiencies which were addressed incurring un-foreseen expenditures of $4,284. The Fire Stations are now in compliance with the act. Transportation and Environmental Services The Township Public Works yards had several deficiencies noted the majority of deficiencies are housekeeping issues and are able to be dealt with without additional resources. Additionally the following is required: Gas storage at the North Yard will be removed and accounts will be obtained at local service stations to purchase gasoline for the patrol trucks. This will correct the infraction of the existing tank being located too close to the works garage. Fire extinguishers will be upgraded to the required size as per the inspection report for both works yards. The violation of flammable or combustible liquids (ie propane, acetylene &motor oils) stored within shop must be housed in an approved cabinet. As well all spare truck and equipment tires must be store outside of the shop area. Thus two outside storage units must be purchased (1 for each yard) to store the above noted items. The cost for each unit will be approximately $4500.00. Prior to the Fire Safety Inspection Report staff realized various electrical deficiencies within both works yards. The Electrical Safety & Utilities Authority was contacted to provide a list of the required improvements and repairs for all the electrical issues. Quotations have been received from local contractors for the upgrades at a quoted price of $10,014.00. The total cost to bring both yards into compliance with the Ontario Fire Code within Transportation Services will be approximately $20,000.00. Recreation and Communitv Services The following is a summary of the deficiencies for each facility as well as anticipated expenses. Additionally options to deal with the deficiencies are provided. Note: All housekeeping deficiencies which do not require resources have or will soon be resolved. Buildings also have also had battery powered smoke detectors and Carbon Monoxide Detectors Installed.

Options Council has two options to address the deficiencies. The first option involves addressing the deficiencies. The second option is to close either permanently or temporarily until the deficiencies are addressed. Due to large amount of capital investment required to keep Warminster Community Hall viable as a public facility both from Fire Safety requirements, projected repairs, maintenance and the limited amount of use, it is recommended that consideration be given to retiring this facility. Due to large amount of capital investment required to keep Carley Community Hall viable as a public facility and the limited amount of public use, it is recommended that consideration be given to temporarily close Carley Community pending the results of the Strategic Facility Plan.
