The objective of an audit is to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, and it is not designed to identify matters that may be of interest to management in discharging its responsibilities. Accordingly, an audit would not necessarily identify all such matters. We identified the following matter, which may be of interest to Council and management: Review of bank reconciliations: There is no written evidence that bank reconciliations are being reviewed and approved by the Treasurer. We understand that both the bank reconciliations and on-line banking information is reviewed frequently. We recommend that once the bank reconciliations are reviewed, they should be initialed by the Treasurer to provide written evidence of approval. Management comments: This was our previous practice. Once bank reconciliations were being performed by Deputy Treasurer, it was felt that satisfactory level of internal control was being achieved and initialing of bank reconciliation as evidence of review ceased. This communication is prepared solely for the information of Council and is not intended for any other purpose. We accept no responsibility to a third party who uses this communication. mimm%mmm Owen Sound mmmumn Collingwood Walkerton Meaford Page 36 of 49 Agenda Item # 6a) - S.E.

The Chamber is eager to work with the Township on this issue.

Brissette, Marie Subject: FW: Rural Roads Public Safety Program - Initial Meeting Original Message From: robb(6bar"riecv61inb.com To: Council Sent: Monday, November 30, 2009 10:19 AM Subject: Rural Roads Public Safety Program - Initial Meeting Hello, you are receiving this email because you represent one of the less urban communities which surround the City of Barrie. I am helping to set up a stakeholders group to help promote rural road safety. This program will be delivered by the OPP Media Department. The target audience is the general public. Our goal is to educate the public on appropriate driving practices when encountering other users of the roads such as cyclists and equestrians. Based on indicated support, a meeting of initial stakeholders to promote rural road safety will be held on Monday, December 14th at 1 p.m. The OPP has kindly offered the use of its boardroom at the Barrie detachment headquarters located at 20 Rose St., Barrie (exit off Highway 400 at Bayfield Street in Barrie). This will be a brainstorming session to begin the process of establishing programs that can be used to educate motorists and groups such as cyclists, equestrians, farm equipment operators, and pedestrians on safe practices when encountering one another on our roads. Several groups have already expressed interest in participating in this process including the OPP, the Ontario Equestrian Federation, the Ontario Trails Council, the Ontario Trail Riding Association, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and the Barrie Cycling Club. During the process we may identify additional stakeholder groups locally and throughout the province who share our common vision of improved public safety on our rural roads. From our preliminary discussions you have already suggested and pointed to other programs that we may be able to connect with to advance our mutual interests. It would be helpful if you could bring information on these programs to the meeting.

Raw water is pumped to the pumphouse and is treated with 12 % Liquid Chlorine (Sodium Hypochlorite) and then pumped through a contact main to the distribution system. The distribution system supplies water to the airport terminal and several commercial lots. The contact main consists of 29 m of 450mm and 546 m of 150mm watermain. The system includes a 25 kW natural gas generator and PLC. List all water treatment chemicals used over this reporting period 12% Sodium Hypochlorite (liquid chlorine) Were any significant expenses incurred to? [ ] Install required equipment [ ] Repair required equipment [ ] Replace required equipment Please provide a brief description and a breakdown of monetary expenses incurred No significant expenses were incurred for the water system during the reporting period. There are water system upgrades proposed for the airport in 2010. As we will be expanding the terminal building, adding a maintenance facility and adding 10 commercial lots we need to increase the capacity of the water supply and treatment system.
