It is with great pleasure that I acknowledge the exceptional efforts of the Oro-Medonte
Firefighters Association, who raised $9,622.74 for Muscular Dystrophy Canada through their
fundraising efforts in 2008-2009.
With these generous funds Muscular Dystrophy Canada was able to fight over 100
neuromuscular disorders in a multitude of ways. We helped Canadian families purchase more
than $2.6 million worth of equipment: including wheelchairs, walkers, and scooters; we made
over 21,000 phone calls to support people affected by neuromuscular disorders and their
families and we helped to fund over $4.54 million of cutting edge neuromuscular research.
Since 1954, Fire Fighters have supported Muscular Dystrophy Canada and continue to be the
largest fundraising group of our organization. In fiscal year 2008-2009 Canadian Fire Fighters
raised over $2.8 million across Canada, with more than $1.62 million generated from Ontario
Fire Fighters. Their ongoing commitment to assisting people with neuromuscular disorders is
admirable.
Muscular Dystrophy Canada thanks the Fire Fighters and their communities and leaders, such
as yourself, that support them.
Together, we can make muscles move!
Sincerely,
?Du~ Pamela Musgrave
Regional Manager, Ontario and Nunavut
CC: MD Chairperson - Tibor Haasz
A SPECIAL THANKS TO FIRE FIGHTERS AND CHAPTER VOLUNTEERS FOR THEIR OUTSTANDING WORK
IN MOVING MUSCLES FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS.

Subject: Township of Oro-Medonte 2009 Customer Service Survey Results
In the New Year, in response to direction from Council, the Township of Oro-Medonte carried out a
Customer Service Survey in order to determine the level of satisfaction of residents and customers
with the Township's service delivery.
As a first step, a customer service questionnaire was developed to solicit feedback from residents
and customers on the frequency and nature of interaction with Township Staff and the extent of
satisfaction with:
➢ Welcoming and Courteous Reception
➢ Helpful and Proactive Service
➢ Availability and Quality of Brochures and Guides
➢ Staff Assistance in Completing Required Forms
➢ Staff Desire in Helping to Overcome Problems
Timeliness of Responses
Knowledge Demonstrated by Staff
In addition, there was an overall satisfaction rating and indication by the respondents of improvement
(if any) over previous experiences with Township Staff.
The survey questionnaire was administered in a two-stage approach. First, an advance survey was
distributed to a targeted group of customers of the Development Services Department, as part of the
Planning and Building Process Review. Based on the initial results, the survey was then expanded
to solicit feedback from all residents. The questionnaire was posted on the Township's website and
included in the Recreation and Community Services Brochure; it encompassed all services provided
by the Township and our external agencies.
Page 6 of 73
Agenda Item # 10a) - Robin Dunn, Chief Administrative Officer, re: Customer Servi...
A total of 80 responses were received and analyzed. A minimum of 80-100 completed questionnaires
is considered necessary to obtain meaningful feedback from the residents and customers of the
Township.
After indicating the frequency and extent of interaction with the Township, respondents provided
feedback on their customer service assessment (Not Satisfied, Satisfied, or Very Satisfied) with the
various aspects of service delivery. The results of the survey are presented in Appendix A (attached
charts) and are summarized below. Note: Not every respondent answered every question and some
questions were designed for multiple responses.

Taking into account that there was a minimum response to the survey for the results to be statistically
accurate, the level of satisfaction expressed by residents and customers was high, ranging from 71%
to 88% with an overall satisfaction rating of over 80%.
The positive feedback from residents and customers confirms the Township's recent efforts to
strengthen customer service delivery on the part of all Departments. Furthermore, it reinforces the
commitment of Council and Staff, at all levels, to maintain and improve the customer service provided
to Township residents and customers.

It is recommended that:
1. Report DS2009-033, Monthly Building Division report for April and May 2009 be
received for information.
I BACKGROUND:
This report is to provide Council information on building permit activity for the months of
April and May 2009 (See Attachment #1).
I ANALYSIS:
I FINANCIAL:
Note: The numbers in the fees collected columns are not a true comparison between
the years 2008 and 2009 due to the change in the timing for collection of permit fees.
Permit fees are now collected and entered at the time of permit submission rather than
at the time of permit issuance in 2008.

RE: Canada Day Celebrations N 2009
Dear Mayor Hughes,
Please accept this as an invitation to you, your staff and their families to join us at
Horseshoe Resort to celebrate the birthday of our great nation on Wednesday, July 1',
2008.
Our Canada Day festivities begin at 5:00 pm and continue throughout the evening
winding up with the singing of our national anthem and a gala fireworks display at
approximately 10:00 pm. We would be honoured to have you attend and say a few
words and assist us with the cutting of Canada's birthday cake at 7:00 pm!
As in the past, the Township of Oro-Medonte has generously contributed to our Canada
Day celebrations. I respectfully inquire as to the availability of funds this year to help
with this enormous venture, which in past years has brought approximately 5,000 local
residents and guests to our great area. We would be presenting and advertising this
event jointly with the Township to over 10,000 homes in the local area. A response at
your earliest convenience would be greatly appreciated.
We are looking forward to this annual celebration and hope you will attend and
participate in the fun!
Sincerely,
Rowley Ramey

Announcements
(a) Lakes Simcoe and Couchiching/Black River Source Protection Authority
Chair Hackson reminded the Board that the next meeting of the Lakes Simcoe and Couchiching/Black River
Source Protection Authority is scheduled for Friday, June 26, 2009, 9:00 a.m. at the Stephen Leacock Centre in
Orillia. The LSRCA's Board of Directors meeting will follow.
(b) Township of Oro-Medonte - Special Council Meeting
Councillor Sandy Agnew advised that the Township of Oro-Medonte will be holding a special meeting of their
Council on May 27` , 7:00 p.m., to address planning issues related to the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority, Severn Sound Environmental Association and the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority.
The LSRCA's CAO indicated that Authority staff will be in attendance as observers only.
Presentation:
(a) Phoslock Results
• The Director, Watershed Management presented the preliminary results of using Phoslock and its impact
on the reduction of phosphorus. Early monitoring results indicate that the product works well however the
dramatic drop in phosphorus and chlorophyll noted in other studies were not observed. This could be
due to the precautionary approach and low application rates as well as the late timing of the application.
Staff Reports:
• The Board dealt with Staff Report No. 26-09-BOD approving the recommendation of staff to postpone
issuing the call for proposal for the services of external audit services as the current Auditor, Grant
Thornton, has been assisting the Authority with compliance under PSAB and continuity at this time is
important. A call for proposal will be issued next year.
• The Board dealt with Staff Report No. 27-09-BOD regarding the Report on the Phosphorus Loads to
Lake Simcoe 2004-2007 developed in partnership with the Ministry of the Environment.
Recent loading as outlined in this report averaged just below 75 tonnes/year, which is also the existing
interim phosphorus loading target established over twenty years ago.
The CAO congratulated the Director, Watershed Management, the A/Director, Corporate Services and
their teams for developing this very "user friendly' report.
• The Board dealt with Staff Report No. 29-09-BOD approving the establishment of a Memorandum of
Understanding between the LSRCA and the City of Barrie to have an Authority Environmental Planner at
their offices a maximum of three days per month. The purpose is to streamline the circulation and review
procedures for site plan applications under the Planning Act.
Chair Hackson, in response to an inquiry from the Board, advised that the arrangement of having
Authority Planners available at municipal offices is going to be communicated to all Conservation
Authorities via Conservation Ontario as a model for their consideration.
Councillor Agnew advised that having an Authority Planner at the Township of Oro-Medonte is a very
sful arrangement.
Page 25 of 73
Agenda Item # 13a) - Highlights of Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority meet...
The Board indicated their concern regarding the approval process They were also concerned that after
two funding rounds only approximately $6M of the $30M allocated has been spent.
Other Business
• Mayor Grossi expressed concern regarding the continued high water levels for Lake Simcoe inquiring if
there is any indication the levels will be lowered in the near future. There is concern around
property/roadway damage.
Councillor McCallum also expressed concern on behalf of the Holland Marsh area residents related to the
high water levels and their further concern regarding property damage.
The Director, Watershed Management responded that the rain curve has been above normal for this time
of year and that the Trent Severn Waterways (TSW), who are managing the water levels, continue to
struggle with maintaining the levels.
Staff will continue to dialogue with the TSW to monitor the Lake levels and will bring a detailed report to
the Board in June.
At 11:00 a.m. the Board was joined by the members of the Lake Simcoe Conservation Foundation for the
purpose of receiving a presentation related to the 2008 project/funding accomplishments and the 2009 funding
priorities.
(a) 2008 LSCF Funding and Accomplishments
The A/Director, Corporate Services provided a presentation which highlighted the project areas funded by the
Lake Simcoe Conservation Foundation in 2008. A total of $438,000 was provided to the LSRCA by the LSRF for
projects in Watershed Science, Stewardship Projects, Creation of a Turtle Habitat, Sunoco Earth Day, Scanlon
Creek Education Centre and Sheppard's Bush Summer Day Camp.
(b) 2009 Funding Priorities
The Board dealt with Staff Report No. 33-09-BOD and received a presentation from the A/Director, Corporate
Services regarding the 2009 funding priorities. These were identified in the areas of Watershed Science,
Stewardship Projects, Education Program, Scanlon Creek, Sheppard's Bush, Social Marketing and Watershed
Showcase for a total funding amount of $233,000.
The Authority's Board of Directors endorsed these priorities as presented and put forth a recommendation to the
Lake Simcoe Conservation Foundation's Board of Directors for their consideration and approval of the 2009

Page 26 of 73
The Board dealt with Staff Report No. 30-09-BOD regarding the Lake Simcoe Clean Up Fund (LSCUF) -
Update. Chair Hackson advised that, with the CAO, she has met with three area MPs to review the
projects led by the LSRCA and to discuss the LSCUF program.

ITEM NO. HS 09-078
MEETING DATE: May 12, 2009
SUBJECT: Simcoe County Children and Youth Charter
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT the Simcoe County Children and Youth Charter attached as Schedule 1 to Item HS 09-078
be adopted;
AND THAT the necessary by-law be presented to County Council to authorize the Warden to
sign the Simcoe County Children and Youth Charter;

BACKGROUND:
The Simcoe County Child Youth and Family Services Coalition (Coalition) is a collaborative entity
designed to increase the effectiveness of the service delivery system in Simcoe County for children,
youth and their families. As an unincorporated entity, the Coalition has no binding power over its
members but exists to better coordinate their collective efforts to serve children, youth and their
families. The Coalition Council derives its influence from Coalition members and works through
persuasion and consensus as a means to better serve their clients through Coalition initiatives.
The Coalition is made up of approximately 35 members who support the Coalition mission, pay
annual sliding scale fees, and designate an executive staff person to represent them at monthly
Council meetings. The Coalition mission is to maximize the capacity, effectiveness and cultural
uniqueness of the child, youth and family services system through collective efforts.
Further information regarding the Coalition can be found through the following link:
httl2://www.simcoecountycoalition.ca
On March 26, 2009 the Child, Youth and Family Services Coalition of Simcoe County (Coalition)
adopted a Simcoe County Children and Youth Charter (Charter). The Charter was developed after
significant consultation and input from various organizations that provide services to children and
youth throughout the County, as well as parents. This included Coalition members, as well as
various related networks and task groups such as the Basic Needs Task Group and the Best Start
Network, and all sub-committees of that Network, including Early Intervention Council, Simcoe
County Child Care Committee, Raising the Bar on Quality Childcare, Early Identification
Committee, Best Start Parent Network, Professional Development of Simcoe County, etc. The

intent of the Charter is to acknowledge the fundamental rights and freedoms of all children and
youth, and to increase awareness about the need for everyone in the community to work
collaboratively to ensure these rights and freedoms.
The Coalition is requesting that all member agencies adopt the Simcoe County Children and Youth
Charter which includes the County of Simcoe. It is also requesting that members circulate the
Charter to other community partners and request endorsement. The Coalition is planning to do a
formal launch of the Charter in the fall of 2009, which will highlight the various partners who have
agreed to adopt the Charter. By building on the strong relationships that already exist within the
County and by using these partnerships to communicate the same strong message, we hope the
rights and freedoms of our children will become a priority for all residents within Simcoe County.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
There are no financial implications to this item, however, in-kind support may be requested from
the Communications Department to assist with the launch.

Today the Ontario Government released Simcoe Area: A Strategic Vision for Growth. It lays out
a strategy and directions to plan for more prosperous and sustainable growth in the Simcoe
area. Based on provincial principles and policies, including the Growth Plan for the Greater
Golden Horseshoe, 2006 and the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan, the strategy supports:
• Curbing urban sprawl and focusing development into existing cities and towns that can
accommodate new growth to create vibrant, complete communities;
• Building on Simcoe's diverse economic base to create new jobs;
• Protecting greenspaces and agricultural areas and creating a cleaner Lake Simcoe; and
• Outlining a clear future for the City of Barrie as the area's largest urban centre.
Simcoe Area: A Strategic Vision for Growth builds on the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden
Horseshoe, 2006 which establishes a comprehensive 25-year framework for the development of
more complete and vibrant communities with the right mix of housing, jobs and community
services across the region.
The document can be accessed on the Places to Grow website at: www.placestogrow.ca. You
will receive a hard copy of the strategy shortly by mail. We welcome your feedback on the
overall vision outlined in this strategy. To submit your comments or questions please contact us
at placestogrow@ontario.ca or call us toll-free at 1-866-479-9781 or 416-325-1210. Please send
your comments and feedback on the paper by September 2, 2009.

Dear Mr. Mackell:
Subject: Simcoe County Official Flan
The purpose of my letter today is to provide you with a status update on the
Ministry's review of the Simcoe County Official Plan.
The official plan was adopted by County Council on November 28, 2008. It was
subsequently forwarded to the Ministry on December 11, 2008 for a decision.
Since that time, we have been undertaking a detailed review of the Flan to ensure
that it is in conformity with various provincial plans, policies and legislation including
the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, the Greenbelt Plan and the
Provincial Policy Statement 2005. This has also included consultation with a number'
of other Provincial Ministries and several.Aboriginal communities that may have an
interest in the Plan.

To date, I wish to advise you that our review and consultation process is still ongoing
and our Ministry is not in a position to make a decision at this point,
There are several reasons for this, as outlined below

this critical information so that
planning and is in conformity v
noted above.
)ur statt are awaiting
represents good
policies and legislation
Third, on June 2, 2009, the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan was finalized. Our staff are
assessing how this Plan now affects the Sirncoe County official plan, and if any
additional policies need to be incorporated.
Lastly, the Province introduced legislation on June 4, 2009 known as Sill 196,
Barrie-tnnisfil Boundary Adjustment Act, 2009 and also released a paper entitled
HSirmcoe Area.: A Strategic Vision for Growth". The proposed legislation is intended to
resolve the long-standing boundary issues between the City of Barrie and the Town
of Innisfil and, if enacted, will assist the City in meeting its goals and objectives under
the Growth Plan.
The paper has been released for consultation purposes at this point in time and is
proposing a number of strategic directions that may affect the lung-term outlook of
the Cities of Barrie and Orillia, the County, and its local municipalities, should these
strategic directions be incorporated into the Growth Plan.
To that end, Provincial staff are now in the process of reviewing both the proposed
legislation and pager and determining how the Ministry should proceed in light of
these recent announcements.
It is my expectation that staff will continue to be in ongoing contact with yourself and
others at the County and should be in a position to chart a path forward in the next
couple of weeks, in hopes of ensuring that a decision on the Official Plan is made in
a timely manner.
Should you have any questions regarding the above, please de not hesitate to
contact David Sit, Manager-Planning projects, at (416) 565-6563.

Oro - Medonte Fire & Emergency Services is requesting proposals to provide for a Coast
Guard (TP1332) and Transport Canada (TP14070) approved Ice Water/ Open Water Rescue
Vessel Bidders are expected to submit their bids in their own proposal format for pricing and
will be required to answer all sections of this RFP, as outlined in section 2.9.4. If accepted,
this Request for Proposal will become a binding contractual obligation. There may be a
mandatory visit requested from the selection committee to be held at Station #3 in Horseshoe
Valley, this visit will provide the invited bidders an opportunity to present the qualities of
their products to the selection committee. Bidders who do not attend the site visit,if
requested, may have their proposals marked invalid. The site visit will allow the members of
the selection committee to pose questions regarding the special features and characteristics of
their Ice / Water Vessels with respect to this RFP. The attendees of this site visit will have
two weeks after the visit to submit their proposal(s).
1.2 Backeround
Located in Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada, Oro-Medonte Fire & Emergency Services has
earned a reputation for providing to the Township citizens and the vacationing public a high
degree of Ice / Water rescue services. Emergency personnel have been trained and
experienced in the delivery of this service. However, in May of 2008 the rescue craft of the
day encountered difficulties while rescuing a person from Lake Simcoe and consequently
sank to the bottom of Lake Simcoe. Therefore Oro-Medonte Fire & Emergency Services are
in the market for a new upgraded vessel. The vessel being sought in the RFP must comply
with every standard that is applied to Canadian Coast Guard criteria in order to be successful
in this process.

BOAT DESCRIPTION
The Husky Airboat is a fast response rescue vehicle designed to safely transport people through
the most unpredictable winter conditions. Capable of traveling over water, ice, broken ice and
snow makes the Husky Airboat a necessary piece of equipment for search and rescue agencies.
The Husky Airboat leads the industry offering standard features like low mount engine for better
stability over uneven ice, enclosed heated cabin, rounded bow shape for better broken ice
dispersal and quieter carbon fiber adjustable pitch propeller. The patented integral polyethylene
bottom and flexible laminate structure permits the flexibility needed to withstand impact loads
that are common in ice travel. This boat has undergone many years of research and development
on a variety of ice conditions.
HULL CONSTRUCTION
The actual wear surface of the hull is Ultra High Molecule Weight Polyethylene or UHMW. We
use virgin material versus recycled material, which is common with other airboat manufacturers.
UHMW has an abrasive resistance, which is ten times better than carbon steel and also has low
temperature toughness. We have developed a patented process to attach the over '/Z" thick
UHMW that does not use standard fasteners (capped bolts) to hold it to the hull. The UHMW
covers the entire hull bottom and forms the chine that meets the hull topsides. With this process
you do not comprise the hull integrity with holes (potential water leaks) through the bottom of
the boat. The UHMW is the bases of our lay-up for the hull and it is very much an integral part
of it. It is common to get cuts and gouges (1/8" deep) in the UHMW but they are not of
concern. Since we have been using the UHMW we have not punctured a hole through the hull
bottom. In the event that gouge exceeding i/4" in the UHMW, Husky Airboats possess an
extrusion welder capable of repairing this damage.
Unlike conventional airboats we do not have a stringer system throughout the hull for stiffness.
In the early years of our development we learned that cracks developed at the stringer locations.
Our current hull is designed to flex to absorb impact from various ice formations thus reducing
expensive hull repairs and potential leaks normally associated with a rigid construction. To
control the flex of the hull bottom we incorporate two small air bags located at the engine
bulkhead. The airbag pressure can be adjusted with a conventional bicycle pump and is
monitored through a dash mounted gauge. Another advantage of a flexible hull is a smoother
ride which when traveling across uneven ice is a benefit for both crew-members and/or victims.
We have used this system successfully for over nineteen years.
Kevlar is used throughout the boat, as it is one of the strongest, most durable fibers available. It
is exceptionally light and flexible, and when tested against steel on an equal weight basis, it is
five times stronger. Combined with the Kevlar and E-glass we use Derakane epoxy based
vinyl-ester resin to compliment the flexibility. The use of Kevlar with the epoxy vinyl-ester
resin has superior strength, puncture resistance and flexibility compared to fiberglass with
polyester resin, which is used on some other composite airboats. The complete hull is vacuum
bagged to control resin ratios and improve the bonding of the multiple layers. Based on reading
the above data you will understand that panel flexibility is very important. For example during
Page 55 of 73
Agenda Item # 18a) - Being a By-Law to Authorize the Execution of an Agreement Be...
normal operation of the boat through pack ice the boat will slide into the ice chunks. Although
you are traveling at slow speeds the hull topside must have the ability to flex under this impact.
The flexibility of our hulls is one of the keys to surviving continual abuse.
VESSEL CAPABILITY
The Husky Airboat like any vessel for multi-terrain use will work better in one condition than
another. Our boat works exceptionally well on ice and broken ice conditions. The boat
performance in straight water is also good but is very much effected by wave and wind
conditions. Like other airboats we have a flat bottom. This does not give the best performance
in a rough sea but our boat can handle up to a 3' sea height. We have a raised bow to better
control the amount of water coming up over onto the deck. The bow of our boat was likened to
the shape used on large ice breakers, which promotes easier transition from water to ice. Another
benefit of the v-shape bow is improved dispersal of ice chunks when actually cutting a track. We
have a generous chine radius as opposed to square chines, which are common on aluminum
airboats. Square chines restrict movement when cutting fresh tracks through thin ice or deep
snow and also can catch on uneven ice potentially tipping the craft.
Like most wind propelled vessels the boat performance is very much affected by the payload size
and the surface traveling over. It would be our recommendation to maintain a crew size of three
and have the potential to pick up 3 -4 victims depending on the surface conditions.
The Husky Airboat requires an ice thickness of 2.5" to 3" to support the craft. Anything less
than that, the boat will cut a track through the ice. The key of operation in these conditions is to
just maintain a constant speed. The best technique when traveling through broken ice and
approaching a solid ice shelf is to slow down to approximately 5 MPH or less and creep up on
top of the ice. With operator experience and the improved ability to read the ice conditions, the
speed of approach could be increased depending on the height of the ice shelf.
Operating the boat in freezing rain, snow and sleet condition is not of much concern as the crew
is enclosed in the heated cabin (window defroster) and the engine is enclosed from the elements.
The windshield wiper system is heavy duty and well suited for these environments. Providing
the engine is running there will be no ice build up on the propeller and drive pulleys. In the
event the boat is to be left outside in freezing rain and not in use, it is either recommended the
cage area be covered totally or that you purchase our drive tower and propeller covers. It is
common to get ice build up on the lower portions of the propeller cage and snow build up on all
the components on the transom area. This is the reason that our steering and throttle cables are
of open cable design to eliminate the possibility of cable freeze up. Ice build up on the cage
should be limited to no more than 1/8". The boat operates fine in deep snow with reduced
visibility as shown in the supplied video.
Please review the brochure, video, attached documentation and website
(www.huskyairboats.com) for added information concerning the boat performance capabilities.

Agenda Item # 18a) - Being a By-Law to Authorize the Execution of an Agreement Be...
TRAINING PLANS
It would be our recommendation that we send copies of our operator and maintenance manuals
prior to the boats arrival. The best time to train the operators is when a variety of conditions are
present. It would be our choice to take three operators out at a time so they can learn from each
other how to operate the boat. Providing there is both ice and water conditions it will take about
four to five hours to train six personnel. Both the operators and mechanics should attend the
actual maintenance training, as the boat requires visual maintenance. It would be beneficial to
have operators that are very hands on and capable of doing the maintenance as well. We would
expect about one hour to train the mechanics. A conventional steering wheel control versus a
rudder stick provides minimum training time for multiple drivers. On ice, dangerous situations
can happen extremely fast, with a steering wheel control there is no uncertainty of how the boat
is going to react.
CONTRACT VARIATIONS & SUBMISSIONS
2.96 This section has asked that we do a formal presentation to OMFD. This can be done but
it may be more beneficial to have the selection committee come to our facility to see
boats in various degree of construction and our construction techniques. It should be
noted that over the next 3 months we will be preparing to move into our new facility,
which is currently under construction. in Vaughan.
2.10 This section has requested that we attend the opening of the proposals on April 23.
Unfortunately between April 19 - 26 we will be away from the office attending and
displaying at the Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) in Indianapolis. We
will however be in contact with our office if any correspondence is required.
2.16 See attached HUSKY AIRBOAT BACKROUND document explaining our background,
qualifications and experience.
2.17 Husky Airboats has been in business since 1984 having sales to number government
agencies such as Canadian Armed Forces, numerous Police & Fire Departments, U.S.
Coast Guard, Department of Environmental Protection, major oil companies, First Nation
Bands, Department of Transport and private individuals. We have boats located in
Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, New York State, Peimsylvania, Washington DC, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Alaska, Russia and Fiiiland.

2.17.2 Rick Chapman will be the specific project manager for the OMFD
project. His qualifications are described in section 2.16.
3.1 The boat will come with steering wheel control and foot throttle. For added safety we
have discontinued the installation of a hand throttle.
Our standard defrost / heater is rated at 24,700 Btu/h and we have used this unit for over
20 years with great success. I have not received any complaints regarding lack of output.
It has been my experience clothed in normal winter gear or a Mustang suit that there is
ample heat to keep the cabin comfortable even in the coldest conditions. The quotation as
written includes our standard heater. I did however contact the heater supplier and a
largest unit is available rated for 36000 Btu/h. This unit could be adapted to our boat for
an $230.00 up charge.
Our windshield wipers are bottom mounted through a raised deck surface.
The maximum height of the boat on the trailer is 12' 3" to the top of the anchor light.
The overall length of the boat off the trailer is less than 25. The overall length of the
boat and trailer is 27' 6".
3.2 The boat will come with a 2.4:1 belt drive ratio. We changed the drive ratio 2 years ago
And unfortunately our brochure does not reflect this change. The new drive ratio slows
the propeller down and also allows the use of a bigger diameter propeller. This system
will provide increased thrust, reduced noise levels and better fuel economy compared to
the old drive ratio.
3.4 The galvanized trailer will be equipped with a 6000 lb. remote controlled electric winch.
Recent upgrades to a more commercial type winch has shown this to be adequate to pull
the 3200 lb. boat on the trailer with ease.
3.5 The boats are rated by Transport Canada to carry 6 passengers or 1200 lbs.

Agenda Item # 18a) - Being a By-Law to Authorize the Execution of an Agreement Be...
3.6.1 We will not be offering a radar but a Lowerance GPS chart plotter that will be flush
mounted in the dash.
In regard to supplying safety equipment to comply with TC 14070, it is currently under
revision by Transport Canada. I have reviewed the 2004 edition and have included the
following safety equipment to the quotation: 6 - lifejackets
- fire extinguisher
- automatic bilge pump feature
- buoyant heaving line
- paddles
- distress flares
- manual bilge pump
- water tight flashlight
- sound signaling device
- reboarding device
3.7 We will install the supplied VHF radio. Preferably this radio has a dash flush mount kit,
comes with 3' whip antenna, antenna mount, antenna cable and cable ends. The price
quoted is only a labour charge.
We will install three LED beacons that will be elevated above the driving lights. These
lights will be located on the light bar, be positioned with one in the centre and the outer two
positioned between the driving lights. I have included a picture of the more typical lighting
layout from one of our fire department boats.
We will install (4) David Clark headset jacks and wire them to terminate under the dash.
it will be necessary for OMFD to fit them to their application.
It would be however our recommendation to replace the David Clark system with a superior
system that we have helped develop and test. This new system uses the latest noise
canceling techniques to provide reduce noise exposure to the operators and improved
communication when operating the boat at high engine/propeller RPM. This company is
located in Canada and can provide a complete intercom with radio interface if required.
Please advise me if pricing is required.
3.8 In regard to Transport Canada (TC) certification. As the manufacturer we are responsible to
construct the boat to meet TP1332 which we have completed. We are also supplying as
requested the safety equipment as described in TP14070. The TC inspector may make
additional recommendations based on the body of water and the boats application. We have
no way of forecasting any additional costs if any that may be incurred to meet these possible
additional requirements. We do not anticipate that anything is required but this may need to
be negotiated after the inspection prior to delivery. It is our intent to have the boat
completed by the end of May, which will leave ample time for any modifications prior to
the delivery.

3.9 Earlier in this report I discussed the normal seat time required to become familiar how to
operate these boats. This training time can be greatly reduced if an intercom is installed on
the boat. The request for two 8 hour days of training is a little excessive but we will
comply.
4.1 Our standard terms are 50% deposit and the balance upon delivery and exceptance. Since
this transaction is a short term further negotiation for financial terms can be negotiated.
4.10 We shall maintain insurance coverage until the boat is accepted and delivered.
PRICE OUOTATION

HUSKY AIRBOATS BACKROUND Mar. 09
Owner Robert Schad (Toronto)
Established Husky Injection Molding Systems which is a high technology company that is one of
the leading suppliers of injection molding equipment and services for the plastics industry.
Having manufacturing facilities in Canada, United States, Luxemburg, China and more than 40
service and sales offices. Husky sells equipment for a variety of applications. Some of its
customers include Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Ford, Dodge and Rubbermaid to name a few.
In the early 1980's Robert bought an island to build a cottage on Georgian Bay in Northern
Ontario. Getting to the island in the summer time was not a problem but in winter the access was
severely restricted. Over the winters, different vehicles were tried but were proven inadequate to
safely transport people over the rugged terrain. Conventional flat bottom everglade type airboats
were tried but were open and dangerous in broken ice and a hovercraft was soon abandoned due
to poor handling characteristics. In 1984 he started Husky Airboats and set out to build a vehicle
that could perform equally well over open water, drifting snow and broken ice in above and
below freezing temperatures. After many years of R & D we were ready to start selling our
boats to where we are now selling to federal and state agencies, search and rescue applications,
commercial applications and private individuals.
Robert is very innovative and it's evident how our boats are different from the competition. An
example of his innovation is in 1953 he built one of Canada's first single track snowmobiles
which he later sold the design to Bombardier.
Late in 2007 Robert sold Husky Injection Molding to start new endeavors. One such endeavor is
the development of a new electric boat utilizing the latest technology in batteries, solar panels
and battery management. This boat is a catamaran hull design with two 40 hp electric motors
adapted to conventional outboard drives. To start this project required the formation of Athena
Marine of which Husky Airboats is a division. A brand new 25,000 sq.ft. facility is due to be
completed by May 2009 located in Vaughan, Ontario. This new facility utilizes the latest
building techniques including geo thermal heating with solar panel auxiliary.
General Manager Rick Chapman (Toronto)
Joined Husky Airboats in 1988 as a licensed mechanic assigned to the development of the
airboat. Having experience in high performance engines / cars including race cars has been an
asset. Building lightweight race cars is not a lot different that a lightweight airboat. Has spent
over 15 years prior to joining Husky designing performance exhaust systems for Thrush exhaust.
After many years as a technician the job description changed to include being the general
manager, which has been held for over 15 years.

The Husky Nattiq airboat is a fast response rescue vehicle designed to safely transport up to six
people through the most unpredictable winter conditions. Powered by a V-8 engine and a rear-
mounted composite propeller, the Nattiq is designed for rugged reliability, agile performance and
minimal maintenance.
Unlike conventional fiberglass airboats, the Husky Nattiq does not have a stringer system
throughout the hull for stiffness. In the early years of our development, we learned that cracks
developed at the stringer locations. Our current hull is designed to flex to absorb impact from
various ice formation, thus reducing expensive hull repairs and potential leaks normally
associated with a rigid construction. To control this flex, we incorporate small air bags that can
be adjusted and monitored through a dash-mounted gauge. Another advantage of a flexible hull
is a smoother, quieter ride when transporting crewmembers and/or victims across uneven ice.
Kevlar, one of the strongest, most durable fibers available, is used throughout the boat, including
the hull. It is exceptionally light and flexible, and when tested against steel on an equal weight
basis it is five times stronger. The Kevlar layers are bonded using the latest techniques resulting
in a superior bond. We have also developed a patented process to attach the polyethylene that
does not compromise the hull integrity with holes through the bottom of the boat. Other
manufactures use bolts through the hull to secure the polymer. These bolts loosen off or brake
allowing the hull to take on water.
The airboat's powerful engine is mounted below the deck to protect it from the elements and
reduce the boat's center of gravity. This feature keeps the boat steady when traveling across
choppy water, ice and snow. Below deck engine mounting also prevents carburetor or fuel
injection icing which is a common problem with high mount engines in cold winter conditions.
The V-shaped bow is raised to minimize the amount of water coming over the deck. Similar to
the design of an icebreaker, another benefit of the high bow is improved dispersal of ice chunks
when cutting a through ice.
Operating the boat in freezing rain, snow and sleet conditions is not a concern thanks to the
heated cabin, window defroster and heavy-duty windshield wiper system. The boat's steering
cables are of open-cable design to eliminate the possibility of cable freeze up. This helps
eliminate ice build-up on the transom, rudders and steering components.
Husky Airboats has always mounted the engine below the deck line to reduce the center of
gravity. When traveling across ice the boat may be exposed to uneven pack ice conditions and
experience high side shock loads. It is these side loads that justify why it is so important to
mount that 300-1b. engine as low in the boat as possible. This low mount engine prevents
possible fatal injury due to the tipping of the airboat. With the engine located in an enclosed,
weatherproof compartment, the passengers are protected from potential danger due to engine
component failure (i.e. cooling and oiling system).
We have a raised bow to better control the amount of water coming up over the deck. The bow
of our boat was likened to the shape used on the large icebreakers, which promotes easier
transition from water to ice. Another benefit of the V-shaped bow is improved dispersal of ice
chunks when cutting a track through thin ice. We have a generous chine radius as opposed to
square chines, which restrict movement through thin ice or snow. The crew is protected from
freezing rain, snow and sleet by an enclosed, heated cabin. The windshield wiper system is heavy

duty and well suited for these winter conditions and a defroster allows unobstructed windshield
visibility. When operating the boat in snow conditions it is not uncommon for ice to build up on
the transom, rudders and steering components. This is the reason that our steering cables are of
open cable design to eliminate the possibility of cable freeze up.
Comparisons have often been made between the Husky Nattiq and other airboats. A Husky
