R.M.S. File #:
RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action X❑ For Information Only
It is recommended that:
1. Report RC2010 -01 be received and adopted
2. That staff consult with the Recreation Technical Support Group and the Oro -
Medonte Minor Sports Association regarding the proposed ice rental rates and
report back to Council by the end of the first quarter 2010
3. That the fees outlined in Table 3 of report RC2010 -01 be approved and
implemented effective July 1, 2010
4. That the clerk bring forward the appropriate By -Law for Council's consideration
BACKGROUND:
An annual review of the Township's By -Law to provide for the imposition of fees and
charges has been completed for the Recreation and Community Services Department.
The process currently used for setting facility rental rates is first to determine the facility
operating expenses, and then review rates of other comparable municipalities. The
comparator rates are then reviewed along with facility operating costs and rates are
then established which are reasonable and sustainable.
With the implementation of the Harmonized Sales Tax on July 1, 2010 the Township will
be required to charge an additional 8% tax to facility rentals and Township Recreation
and Community Service Programs which are currently only inclusive of GST.
The 2010 Budget approved by Council includes a 5% increase in ice rental rates for
Minor Sports Groups and Non -Prime Time ice rentals in addition to the required HST
adjustments.

Dear Mayor Hughes & Council:
Member
Municipalities It has come to the attention of the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA)
Adjala- Tosorontio that a letter dated December 17, 2009 was sent by Mayor Geurgis, Township of Essa,
concerning Conservation Authorities to municipalities throughout the Province. With
Amaranth respect to this letter the NVCA submits the following regarding three particular issues
Barrie raised; namely:
The Blue Mountains
Bradford -West Gwillimbury Excerpt 1 "...local CA (NVCA) has been asking for portions of applicants lands as part
Clearview of the application process which should be a conflict of interest. Applicants feel if they
Collingwood do not comply with the CA demands their application may not be approved...'
Essa Comment: The NVCA does receive donated lands from environmentally conscious
Grey Highlands individuals who want to ensure that their lands are protected in perpetuity. The NVCA
Innisfil also received on occasion lands through the planning process on a mutually
Melancthon benefitting basis; much the same as municipalities when lands are donated to them.
Mono
Mulmur To ensure environmentally protected development, the NVCA encourages pre-
development consultation with developers to ensure full understanding of the
NewTecumseth environmental opportunities and constraints on the subject lands as a proactive means
Ora- Medonte of supporting wise growth.
Shelburne
Springwater Excerpt 2 "... levy ... has risen a staggering 249.8% over the last 9 years..."
Wasaga Beach
Comment: The Township of Essa's levy increase from 2001 to 2009 has increased
from $60,641 to $121,857 a 110% increase. The largest Essa levy Increase was in
Watershed 2001 over 2000 from $37,364 to $60,641 a 62% increase. While the total NVCA levy to
Counties our Municipalities increased 6% this large increase in Essa was as a result of the
oufferin change from discounted equalized assessment (DEA) to implementing current value
Grey assessment (CVA) as directed by the Province to ensure an equitable distribution of
Simcoe tax assessment. A provincial not local Conservation Authority initiative.

The past five year total NVCA levy increase ($1,434,707 to $1,764,953) represents a 23% increase,
or 4.6% per year, and costs on average $10 per resident. All levy increases are approved by the
majority of the Board members.
Excerpt 3 "...our CA is now getting involved in soil evaluation..."
Comment: Soil stability confirmation is a normal requirement for development within the NVCA
consistent with the Provincial Policy statements.
Like all Conservation Authorities, the NVCA is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of
appointed officials of the watershed municipalities it serves. The NVCA Board has consciously
chosen to invest in the programs of the NVCA to ensure:
• the long term protection of its watershed residents and their property from flooding and
erosion;
• the long term protection and restoration of the watershed environment to ensure healthy
rivers streams and wetlands/forests,
• the long term protection and improvement to the quality of life and local economic well
being.
It is estimated that at least $100 million per year of our local economy is directly related to the
quality of our environment, not counting Municipal well protection. In Walkerton one polluted well
cost several lives and over $64 million. There are over 100 Municipal wells in the NVCA.
Often local interests and development places strong pressure on local Municipalities. The
Conservation Authority Board of Directors, with the technical support provided by CA staff, ensure
that mandated Municipal, Provincial and Federal interests are considered and protected throughout
the entire watershed.
The NVCA Board of Directors works together to ensure that the Conservation Authority provides the
most effective programs possible. To that end at the November 27/09 Board meeting the NVCA
Board agreed to carry out a 3b party independent consultant review of the NVCA planning program
to review planning program effectiveness and make recommendations for improvement.
We will continue to provide the most efficient and effective service to our watershed residents
through due diligence and the protection of our environment for future generations.

Walter Benotto

Dear Mayor and Members of Council,
RE: CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES
I have been asked to circulate a motion I recently brought forward to the council of the Township
of Essa. The resolution called for an independent 3rd party review of our local Conservation
Authority and it was unanimously supported by our council.
The reason I requested a review was the escalating costs and steady stream of new restrictions,
new permit fees and studies required to develop in our municipalities. It has made me question if
these new restrictions are based on good planning or for revenue generation of a struggling
conservation agency. Also the local CA has been asking for portions of applicants lands as part of
the application process which should be a conflict of interest. Applicants feel if they do not
comply with the CA demands there application may not be approved.
Our CA boasts of streamlining and promoting economic development, yet everything they do
seems to create more costly red tape. Our goal as municipalities is to provide good planning at a
reasonable cost to our ratepayers. In our area we pay for planning departments at the upper tier,
the local municipality and the CA. Imagine if you had to pay 3 levels of government before you
paved a road or purchased a new fire truck.
Our municipal levy to the CA has risen a staggering 249.8% over the last 9 years and permit fees
have also risen dramatically, along with an ever expanding menu of red tape. For example our
CA is now getting involved in soil evaluation which is generating new revenue and duplication.
They have also dramatically expanded into new geographical areas thus creating more revenue.
My ultimate goal is to see the planning part of the CAs be amalgamated into the upper tier to
eliminate multi levels of costly bureaucracy. This will leave the CAs to utilize the talents of there
dedicated staff to repair our watersheds. They should be developing long range objectives for us
to meet such as: Building public and private partnerships to plant trees, stabilizing river banks,
improving spawning beds, etc. We are not getting the best bang for our buck and the CAs are
becoming a major drag on economic development in many of our communities.
Our council recently held a public meeting to deal with an Official Plan Amendment (OPA). The
applicant was an agricultural society wishing to develop an educational farming operation and
Page 35 of 46
Agenda Item # 14a) - Correspondence dated January 15, 2010 from Walter Benotto,
C...
they asked council to allow a fair 5 days out of the year. Council knowing the geography of the
municipality asked why they had not chosen other lands that would have been more suitable and
avoided the need for an OPA. The planning consultant for the applicant stated that they had
advised there clients to avoid any property that fell under jurisdiction of the local CA. That is
something we are hearing more and more. We are also seeing more ratepayers doing work
without permits to avoid the CAs and it is tough to tell them they are wrong when you know what
the CA will put them through even for minor projects.
I have very little knowledge of relationships between other CAs and there municipalities, I am
only referring to my local experience and have been asked by some of my area colleagues to
circulate my motion. I hope your relationship is not strained, but if it is, now is the time to deal
with it. If we had any other department with a 249.8 % increase over 9 years we would have dealt
with it a long time ago.
If you wish to contact me, I have provided my information below.
Sincerely,
David Guergis

SECONDED BY: Henderson RESOLUTION NO: 222 -2009
THAT the Council of the Township of Essa has identified the need for an independent review of
the NVCA regarding how they collect and charge for permit fees, levy fees and the duplication of

permit fees by the NVCA, but instead with municipalities collecting reasonable fees to meet the
objectives set out in the Conservation Act, and passing along appropriate fees to the NVCA for

Dear Sir
I would like to request a variance with regard to Bylaw No. 2008 -030 Appendix `B" .
Maximum number of dogs 2.1, 2.2, 2.3.
My property is PT LT 17, Concession 9, Plan 51R19282, Municipal Address 5753 line 8
North. Moonstone. I have 49.9 acres, and I bought the property over 10 years ago as my
son then 19 had 17 Siberian huskies which he raced in various races and also began to
use in the Barrie and Orillia Winter fests giving rides.
We have grown steadily since then and we now have 2 full time dog handlers through the
week and in the winter hire more than 15 workers and drivers to help with the many
winter fests, Arctic Adventures, resort rides, and tours.
The dogs have been to Geralton On. in the north, and to Brampton and any where we are
asked to participate in the south.
I had rabies vaccinations given to 201 dogs on Dec 18/09. My Vet from North Simcoe
Veterinary Services was satisfied with the health of my dogs although I do have three
under their care. King is on Benadryl for an allergic reaction to his collar, Frodo had a cut
on his nose which has healed and Larry, a pup had dermadex. Mr. Gary Skelding has
told me I must get rid of some dogs and I have, under pressure, found homes for 30 of the
racing dogs, for the end of January. On any given weekend 150 to 180 dogs are working
at various resorts in the area. Our personal goal has always been to put a team in the
Iditarod race in Alaska. This has been jeopardized by having to get homes for our best
racing teams.. The dogs are personal friends. They are a large part of my life and I had
hoped to retire to dog sledding in the winter and dog carting in the summer. I try to be
thoughtful of my neighbours and my dogs do not run at large. There have been no
complaints of noise violations to my knowledge.
Yours truly
Georgeina Pierce

TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL:
I am developing a subdivision at Prices Corners — Oro
Medonte (it has been ongoing for a number of years).
The new street to be constructed is a continuation of an
unopened street name Uno Drive.
There are no houses fronting on this unopened street.
I would like to rename this street to Breanna Boulevard.
I hope this meets with your approval.
Sincerely
