File 010-005-01700 West Part of Lot 16, Concession 12 (Oro), Township of Oro-Medonte, 1 603 15/16 Side Road East RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action For Information Only It is recommended: 1. THAT Report No. DS 2010-025 be received and adopted. 2. THAT Council authorizes the request of Danny and Enis Prospero to temporarily reside in a trailer for a nine month period while the addition to their dwelling is being constructed. 3. AND THAT the Clerk bring forward to appropriate by-law authorizing the attached agreement to this effect. BACKGROUND: The owners are in the process of submitting a building permit for an additional to the existing dwelling which was constructed in 1915 and has requested permission to temporarily reside in a trailer while the construction to the existing dwelling is being completed. ANALYSIS: The Township has historically allowed owners to temporarily reside in existing dwellings or trailers and allow for a building permit to be issued for a new dwelling. This practice has been followed contrary to the Township's Zoning By-law, which only allows one dwelling per property and prohibits human habitation of a trailer (outside of licensed trailer parks), however is a reasonable compromise to assist owners in these cases. A financial deposit and agreement (see Attachment #2) stipulating the terms of the approval will be required to be executed with the owners which ensures compliance after the new dwelling is complete. Council has granted one-year temporary permissions on other properties in the Township.

File D11 40354 RECOMMENDATION(S): It is recommended: Requires Action F-__1 For Information Only 1. THAT Report DS 2010-027 be received and adopted; 2. THAT the Site Plan Agreement for Skyline Horseshoe Valley Inc. known as 1101 Horseshoe Valley Road West, Township File 2010-SPA-05 be entered into and executed by Council; 3. THAT Council approve and adopt By-law 2010-091 A By-law to authorize the execution of the Site Plan Agreement with Skyline Horseshoe Valley inc.; and 4. THAT the applicant be advised accordingly. BACKGROUND: The purpose of this report is to consider a proposed Site Plan Agreement to add additional outdoor recreational uses associated with Horseshoe resort including the construction of new buildings as part of the adventure park and will also include a Zipline, Coaster ride, OGO ride, and Miniature Golf area. As per the Site Plan Control By-law 2009-062 uses within the Private Recreation (PR) Zone are subject to the site plan approval process. The subject lands are located within Part of Lots 1 and 2 Concession 3 and 4, municipally known as 1101 Horseshoe Valley Road West, being the Skyline Horseshoe Resort property. The applicant has applied to the Township for construct the adventure park which requires the site plan approval prior to the consideration of the appropriate zoning certificates and building permits. Development Services Report No. DS 2010-027 Meeting Date May 26, 2010 Page 1 of 17 Page 44 of 183 9c) - Report No. DS 2010-027, Andria Leigh, Director of Developmen... ANALYSIS: The site plan application was circulated to internal departments and AECOM for comments. In addition, a technical meeting between staff and the applicant was held on May 12, 2010 at which time additional comments were provided. All comments received have been addressed by the applicant in the final revised site plan and internal staff has confirmed their acceptance of the revised site plan s or concerns were raised. Based on this and the planning analysis provided below, the Planning Department is recommending approval of the site plan agreement. The Planning Department has considered the relevant planning documents in making this recommendation, the applicable documents and policies are discussed below. FINANCIAL: Not applicable. POLICIES/LEGISLATION: TownshiD of Oro-Medonte Official Plan: The subject lands are designated "Horseshoe Valley Village and Recreational" in the Township's Official Plan. The Official Plan requires all uses in the Village and recreation designation to be subject to Site Plan Control, and therefore the applicant has submitted this application for the expansion to include the Adventure Park. This designation references the lands located at the bottom of Horseshoe Valley which are intended to be the location of the main commercial and resort facilities associated with Horseshoe resort. Permitted uses include dining and entertainment lounges, restaurants or snack bars, and recreational facilities. The proposed uses include a miniature golf course and starter hut, OGO run adjacent to the tubing run, Zipline, and amenity building which includes ticket booth, washrooms, and snack food area. Future uses identified on the site plan include: coaster run, viewing platforms, bouldering wall, and a multi-use area. The proposed uses would be in conformity with the Township's Official Plan. Zonino By-law 97-95: The land is currently zoned Private recreation (PR) and Future Development Exception 67 (FD*67) Zones which permit the above identified recreational uses and associated buildings. Staff have reviewed the proposed site plan and buildings against the By-law provisions and determined that it complies with the required front, side, and rear yard provisions and the proposed amenity building is less than the 11 metre maximum height requirement of the By-law. Therefore the use and structures comply to the provisions of the Private Recreation Zone for the adventure park use. Development Services Report No. DS 2010-027 Meeting Date May 26, 2010 Page 2 of 17 Page 45 of 183 9c) - Report No. DS 2010-027, Andria Leigh, Director of Developmen... Section 5.19 of the Zoning By-law sets out the parking requirements by use, in this table recreational uses are not defined and therefore the standard for all other uses not specified is applicable in addition there is a standard for a golf driving range for 1 parking space per tee which would be applied to the miniature golf course. The standard requires 1 space per 35 square metres of gross floor area. The two proposed buildings (1) starter but (16.4 sq.m.) and (2) amenity building (117.12 sq.m.) have a total floor area of 133.52 sq.m. and would therefore require four parking spaces, in additional 9 parking spaces would be required for the miniature golf course. As noted on the site plan, 140 spaces have been identified for both the timeshare establishment and the adventure park uses which would therefore be in compliance with the by-law provisions. CONSULTATIONS: County of Simcoe - Applicant has fulfilled County requirements, there are no further concerns regarding approval of the site plan (May 17, 2010) Internal Departments- No Concerns AECOM - Sanitary Sewer Connection Plan determined to be acceptable (May 20, 2010) ATTACHMENTS: Attachment 1: Site Plan By-law and Agreement Attachment 2: Site Plan Drawing and Details SP-1 and SP-2 CONCLUSION: The Site Plan application proposes to add additional outdoor recreational uses associated with Horseshoe resort including the construction of new buildings as part of the adventure park and will also include a Zipline, Coaster ride, OGO ride, and Miniature Golf area. As per the Site Plan Control By-law 2009-062 uses within the Private Recreation (PR) Zone are subject to the site plan approval process. The proposed Site Plan conforms to the Official Plan policies, and complies with the applicable provisions of the Zoning By-law. On this basis, it is recommended that Site Plan Application 2010-SPA-05 be entered into and executed by Council.

Township of REPORT Proud Heritage, Exciting Future Report No. To: CS 2010-011 Council Prepared By: Doug Irwin Meeting Date: Subject: Motion # May 26, 2010 Fees & Charges - Administration Roll R.M.S. File RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action❑X For Information Only It is recommended that: 1. Report No. CS 2010-011 be received and adopted. 2. And that the Clerk bring forward an updated Fees and Charges By-law, which incorporates the recommendations contained in Report No. CS 2010-011, for Council's consideration. BACKGROUND: Staff have been reviewing the Township's current Fees and Charges By-law (2009-056, as amended), to ensure that the identified fees and charges are appropriate. An updated Fees and Charges By-law will be brought forward for Council's consideration in June 2010. ANALYSIS: In reviewing the Administration schedule of the current Fees and Charges By-law, staff have noted two areas where further consideration should be given. Currently there is a section in the Administration schedule which reads: Land Purchase Request Administration Fee (non-refundable) $250.00 Deposit Upon Council's Approval $5,000.00 Corporate Services May 26, 2010 Report No. CS2010-011 Page 1 of 3 Page 61 of 183 9d) - Report No. CS 2010-11, Doug Irwin, Director of Corporate Ser... The non-refundable administration fee is used to offset the costs associated with preparing a report with recommendations for Council's consideration of any land purchase request. The deposit has been acquired from interested parties upon the lands being declared surplus to the needs of the municipality. This deposit is utilized towards the costs of appraisal, surveying, advertising, legal, etc. incurred by the Township with respect to proposed land sales. The applicant's are advised that in the event that the actual costs exceed the deposit, the applicant is responsible for all of the costs incurred with respect to the transfer. There have been instances where the applicant has chosen not to proceed with the request to purchase municipal lands, for one reason or another. In these instances, the deposit has been returned, in full, to the applicant. In order to ensure that the Township is not absorbing costs associated with a potential land sale where the applicant chooses not to proceed, it is recommended that this section of the Fees and Charges By-law be amended as follows: Land Purchase Request Administration Fee (non-refundable) $ 250.00 Deposit Upon Council's Approval $ 5,000.00 Note: In the event that the applicant chooses not to proceed with the land purchase request, the deposit, minus any costs already incurred by the Township with respect to the potential purchase/sale, will be refunded to the applicant. The applicant will be supplied with copies of invoices which shall identify the costs that have already been incurred by the Township. The other area for consideration is the commissioning of documents. Currently, the Township does not charge for the commissioning of documents. Recognizing that many jurisdictions/municipalities charge a fee for the commissioning of documents, it is recommended that a section be added the Administration schedule of the Fees and Charges By-law, as follows: Commissioning of Documents Commissioning Fee $ 20.00 Note: The above-noted Commissioning Fee shall not be charged in the following instances: • municipal documents requiring commissioning • commissioning of pension documents for individuals age 65 and over FINANCIAL: • Variable dependent on number of documents commissioned Corporate Services May 26, 2010 Report No. CS2010-011 Page 2 of 3 Page 62 of 183 9d) - Report No. CS 2010-11, Doug Irwin, Director of Corporate Ser... POLICIES/LEGISLATION: • Municipal Act, 2001, as amended • Township Fees and Charges By-law CONSULTATIONS: • Chief Administrative Officer • Clerk's Office ATTACHMENTS: • None CONCLUSION: It is recommended that the Clerk bring forward an updated Fees and Charges By-law for Council's consideration.

REPORT Report No. To: FD 2010-11 Council Meeting Date: Subject: May 26/10 ~ Town f FIRE & EMERGENCY Roll SERVICES DEPARTMENT IMPLEMENTATION OF ADDITIONAL USER FEES RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action X❑ It is recommended that: Proud Heritage, Exciting Future Prepared By: RP Motion # R.M.S. File for Information Only ❑ 1. Report FD 2010-11 be received and adopted 2. That Council supports the continued reforming of this committee to consider additional user fees for Fire & Emergency Services as outlined in this report. 3. In addition, Council also approves the subsequent review of additional fees for services in the Five (5) Year Master Fire Plan process to be undertaken in 2010 / 2011 BACKGROUND: In 2008 Council approved the review of the Fees for Services for the Fire & Emergency Services Department. This review was to have encompassed the review of existing fees for services along with the development and introduction of additional fees. This was approved in order to clearly reflect the current status of financial responsibility while providing the highest level of protective services to the community. Additional fees for services were to have a minimal financial impact on the residents of Oro- Medonte and moreover were to be directed to those services that add an additional financial stress on our Community. The Oro-Medonte Fire & Emergency Services Department respond on a daily basis to emergencies that are beyond the control of the Township and the ratepayers and truly rest on the travelling public both on our highways and waterways. The annual response call calculations for the Fire & Emergency Services have now reached over 600 calls per year, with a percentage of these response calls being beyond our control without any remuneration from the parties involved in the emergency. Therefore Council had Fire and Emergency Services Report No. FD 2010-11 May 26, 2010 Page 1 of 3 Page 64 of 183 9e) - Report No. FD 2010-11, Richard Playfair, Director of Fire &a... approved the development of those fees for services for incidences that remuneration could be reclaimed from the involved parties, thereby showing good financial management. A committee was formed with the former Director of Fire & Emergency Services and Council to review, assess and redevelop those fees for services and submit those agreed upon additional services that should be supported in the Bylaw amendment. As a result of the replacement of the former Director of Fire & Emergency Services this Committee had not come to a conclusion on the additional services to be considered. ANALYSIS: Although this important process was interrupted with the replacement of the Director of Fire & Emergency Services on the committee does not mean that a reforming of this Committee cannot be an effective group in determining the appropriate additional fees for services. The introduction to the following incident charges for services by the Fire & Emergency Services serve as examples only: • Transportation Hazardous Material Spills ( Out of Township Transports) • Airboat rescues on Lake Simcoe ( non residents) • Airboat Ice/water Rescues (non residents) • Multi vehicle incidences ( non residents) • Automatic Aid Agreements (Neighboring Fire Departments) The above serve as examples that can be subject to discussion through the Five Year Master Fire Plan process. The allowance of thorough discussion by a reformed committee can provide valuable insight into the requirements to achieve remuneration that is representative of good financial stewardship. FINANCIAL: The financial impact of fees for services would be a considerable benefit to the Township. This impact would be a variable representative from one year to the next. The forecast of this benefit would require calculations based on the previous year's response by the Fire & Emergency Services Department. CONCLUSION: The redevelopment of the fees for services committee and given the platform of the Master Fire Plan process will provide a good working group, with fresh ideas, on the issue of fees for services within our Community. It must be understood that the financial impact on our residents must be kept at the lowest impact level with cost recovery from non residents providing the Township with the tools to manage Emergency Response for the future. It serves as a solid planning foundation. The commitment and support of Council is necessary for the fees for services process to be successful.

A pupil accommodation review provides the public with an opportunity to make informed recommendations to the Board through an Accommodation Review Committee (ARC). The ARC includes parents/guardians, students, and community representatives as well as non-voting representatives from the school board. The accommodation review will focus on Barrie Central Collegiate Institute, Barrie North Collegiate Institute, Bear Creek Secondary School, Eastview Secondary School, and Innisdale Secondary School. Some secondary students residing in the Township of Oro-Medonte attend Eastview Secondary School; therefore the Board is inviting the municipality to recommend one (1) individual to represent the community on the ARC. Please be aware that the accommodation review may last for several months and the community representative will be asked to participate in numerous working sessions and in at least four public meetings. These meetings and working sessions may be scheduled in both the afternoon and evening. Please provide the board with the name and contact information of the individual whom municipal council selects as the community representative for the Township of Oro-Medonte. If a community representative is not available, the accommodation review will continue without representation. Please forward this information to Janet Porter-Jay, Senior Planner, at the above address or by e-mail to jjavna-scdsb.on.ca before June 18, 2010.

Factors such as changing demographic patterns, increases and decreases in enrolment, environmental restrictions, facility conditions, partnership opportunities, and the Ministry of Education funding model, affect the ability of the Board to operate and maintain its schools effectively and efficiently to support student achievement. A review of these factors may result in the need to develop alternative solutions to student accommodation within a planning area or adjacent planning areas. 2.0 Policy 2.1 It is the policy of the Simcoe County District School Board to provide a comprehensive range of educational opportunities equitably distributed across a broad and diverse geographical area through sustainable community schools. 2.2 It is the policy of the Simcoe County District School Board to support the achievement of students through the operation of schools in an effective, efficient and economical manner. 2.3 It is the policy of the Simcoe County District School Board to have a transparent accommodation review process 3.0 Definitions In this policy: 3.1 "Accommodation review area" means the combined attendance areas of the group of schools involved in an accommodation review. An accommodation review area may include parts of one or more planning areas. 3.2 "Accommodation Review Report" means the report prepared by the Accommodation Review Committee. 3.3 "Attendance area" means the area enclosed within a school's attendance boundary. A school accommodates the students who live within its attendance area.

J D/aMctschoareQana► FACILITIES 2300 Pupil Accommodation Review Policy 2313 The school's value to the student takes priority over other considerations about the school. The ARC will consult with the community at the first public meeting regarding the content of the School Information Profile and edit the profile where new objective information is available or corrections to information is required. Board staff will assist the ARC in reviewing and editing the School Information Profile(s).

Q Lake Simcoe Staff Report No.: 07-10-AC Region Page No. 1 of 7 Conservation Authority Agenda Item No. XII(a) AC-04-10 TO Administrative Committee FROM : Jocelyn Lee General Manager, Corporate & Financial Services DATE: April 16, 2010 SUBJECT: 2010 Proposed Budget RECOMMENDATIONS: THAT Staff Report No. 07-10-AC entitled 2010 Proposed Budget be received; and THAT the Administrative Committee recommend to the Board that the 2010 budget estimates, with projected revenues in the amount of $15,239,563, as presented in the 2010 budget book be approved; and THAT the Administrative Committee recommend tothe Board that the net reserve appropriations in the amount of $113,909 as outlined in the 2010 budget book be approved; and THAT the Administrative Committee recommend to the Board that copies of the approved budget be circulated to the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority watershed member municipalities; and FURTHER THAT each watershed member municipality be formally advised of their respective share of the general levy and special capital levy. Purpose of Staff Report: The purpose of this Staff Report is to provide the Authority's Administrative Committee with the 2010 Proposed Budget book which contains the 2010 proposed budget estimates for their review and recommendation to the Board of Directors for approval. Background: On October 23, 2009, the Board of Directors reviewed and approved a Staff Report No. 61-09-BOD regarding the proposed 2010 budget development process, assumptions and schedule. As a result of the current economic climate and the LSRCA municipal partners' budget requirements, the LSRCA's required 6% base general levy increase was decreased to 3%. It was anticipated that the 3% increase would still allow for•a 1% economic adjustment to salaries and wages. Howeverdueto budget pressures and the reduced 2010 general levy increase, and in order to comply with the Page 30 of 36 Page 95 of 183 11 b) - Gayle Wood, CAO, Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority r... Staff Report No.: 07-10-AC Page No. 2 of 7 Agenda Item No. XII(a) AC-04-10 government's 0% guidelines, adjustments to salaries and wages were not processed. On December 8, 2009 a verbal update of the 2010 Budget Development process was provided to the Administrative Committee and the session provided an opportunity for dialogue, questions, input and recommended direction from the Committee. The Administrative Committee advised that given the current economic status, staff will likely meet some challenges. On April 21, 2010 a detailed budget presentation will be provided to the Administrative Committee for the 2010 proposed Budget. Key budget issues will be discussed and the Administrative Committee will be asked if they have any final requests or recommendations to be incorporated into the final 2010 budget. In addition, overthe past several months LSRCA staff met as a full management team on a number of occasions to review and develop the 2010 proposed budget. LSRCA staff had a number of meetings and ongoing dialogue with staff from the various partner municipalities. LSRCA staff has also made 2010 budget presentations to various municipal councils and committees. The document, entitled 2010 Proposed Budget will be distributed at the Admin Committee meeting. The document reflects municipal and provincial funding projections, proposed transfers to and from reserve, inclusion of deferred revenue and updated Conservation Authority generated revenue. Qualitative information regarding the LSRCA programs and services is provided to support the quantitative budget schedules. The 2009 actuals have been finalized as part of the financial year end process and as such the 2010 proposed budget incorporates allocations from the 2009 year-end deferred revenue and proposed appropriations to/from the 2009 year-end reserve. It is also useful to note that the projected funding reflects the amounts actually approved by the councils of the partner municipalities and/or confirmed by municipal staff as expected for approval. Issues: Although detailed information is provided in the 2010 proposed budget book, some highlights regarding the 2010 proposed budget are as follows: 1. Federal Funding for Lake Simcoe The federal government announced in 2008 a funding commitment of $30M towards projects to preserve and protect the environment of Lake Simcoe. For the 2010 budget the projects and programs that were known to be approved by the federal government have been included in the revenues and expenditures. There is a significant impact resulting from the inclusion of the federally funded programs in the amount of $1,328,899, an increase of $133,749 over the 2009 budgeted level.

Donation Revenue A significant amount of donation revenue from the Lake Simcoe Conservation Foundation has been included in the 2010 budget. Although it is typical that there would be marginal donation revenue included in the annual budget in any given year, as it is usually deemed premature to estimate the amount of donations that may be received and which particular programs and projects might be funded, there is a need in 2010 for increased foundation funding for the LEAP program. This is due to the very successful level of activity that took place in 2009 for the LEAP program, which in turn consumed almost all of the deferred revenue funds. A meeting took place between LSRCA staff and Foundation staff to discuss the appropriate funding requirement. The 2010 budget includes $323,000 additional funding forthe LEAP program. The traditional $30,000 donation from LSCF for Scanlon Creek continues to be included, as does the amount of $59,318 for the forgivable loan interest portion from York Region. 3. Fee Revenue A steady decline in planning and permit fee revenues throughout 2007 and 2008 was recognized by staff and accounted for in the 2009 budget. While the 2009 actuals were below budget, it is anticipated that 2010 revenues will reach the 2009 budget figures. As such, the planning and permit fee revenues budgeted for 2010 has not been changed from the 2009 budget level. 4. Staffing Changes The 2010 proposed budget incorporates the addition of two regular staff positions as follows: • 1 FTE Human Resources Assistant, at an annual cost of $57,924, wages and benefits. • 1 Contract position for a FTE Facilities and Assets Maintenance Technician, at an annual cost of $56,780 which is prorated for'/ of the 2010 budget year at a cost of $37,980 for wages and benefits. The annualization impact for 2011 is $18,800. In November 2009 the Chief Administrative Officer, Gayle Wood presented to the Board of Directors an Organizational Enhancement model to address the economic pressures of the future and ensure the evolution of new and continuing partnerships. Both of the new positions noted above were part of the approved organizational enhancement plans. The organizational enhancement plan also included a change in the structure to four key divisions which include the positions of: Page 32 of 36 Page 97 of 183 11 b) - Gayle Wood, CAO, Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority r... Staff Report No.: 07-10-AC Page No. 4 of 7 Agenda Item No. XII(a) AC-04-10 • General Manager, Corporate Communications & Education -To be announced • General Manager, Conservation Lands - Brian Kemp • General Manager, Corporate & Financial Services-Jocelyn Lee • General Manager, Watershed Management - Mike Walters The salary and benefits changes relating to this change were accommodated through the salary and wage benefit amount available underthe old structure forthe Director of Corporate Services position which was open at that time. 5. Administration Building The fully forgivable ten year loan issued by the Region of York in the amount of $1,770,059 representing their respective financial commitment towards the administrative building addition is in its fourth year in 2010.The opening balance of this loan in 2010 is $1,475,486. The expectation is that the annual principal and interest on this loan is forgiven annually each April. As such, related to this loan, the 2010 budget provides for interest expense and offsetting donation revenue in the amount of $59,318. 6. Reserves and Deferred Revenue For purposes of developing the 2010 preliminary proposed budget, the unaudited 2009 year end reserves, as proposed, and deferred revenue balances, have been reviewed and have been incorporated into the 2010 proposed budget. A summary of proposed reserve fund transfers and projected balances is provided in the Financial Reports section of the 2010 budget book and is included here for additional reference. For the rental properties and the vehicle and equipment programs, appropriations to and from the reserve accounts are required each year. Surplus' are common with the rental properties and are budgeted to transferto the reserve as it is expected in future periods the funds will be needed to maintain the capital property. It is also normal practice to budget for draws on these reserves in years when expenditures foreseen exceed current year's projected revenues. Therefore, appropriations may be expected in both directions to and from these reserves on a yearly basis. The Nutrient Management reserve was established in 2000, from funds received through the Nutrient Management Program approved in 1998. Allocations from this reserve are for storm water management projects within our partner municipalities. The 2010 storm water management projects for municipalities that have some funding available in this reserve have been drawn upon.

Relevance to Authoritv Policv: The Authority works in partnership with its watershed municipalities to fulfill the objective of protecting and restoring Lake Simcoe and its watershed. The Board of Directors, comprised of representatives of the member municipalities, approves the budget estimates. Imoact on Authoritv Finances: The 2010 Proposed Budget totals $15,239,563 in revenue as compared to the 2009 approved budget of $15,302,710. The major factors that influence the approximate $63,147 decrease on a net basis in budgeted revenue are; • the significant decrease in deferred revenue funding, offset by... • the increase in provincial investment, the majority of which is for Source Water Drinking Protection program. • the increase in donation revenue from Lake Simcoe Conservation Foundation • the increase in special capital revenue for new Subwatershed plans in. Barrie • the increase in special capital revenue for the Natural Hazard Mapping in Innisfil • the increase in special capital revenue for Asset Management Conservation Area maintenance for York Region • the economic adjustment to levy of 3% • the increase in federal funding for new programs and projects related to Lake Simcoe Page 35 of 35 Page 100 of 183 11 b) - Gayle Wood, CAO, Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority r...

In February 2005, the figure was increased to $30 million and the term was extended through 2012. Projects completed with funding support from the Lake Simcoe Clean-Up Fund are expected to improve water quality for recreational use, substantially reduce phosphorous loads from urban and rural sources, and advance the restoration of a sustainable cold-water fishery and the ecological integrity of Lake Simcoe. The fund is being administered by Environment Canada in consultation with Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the Province of Ontario, the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority, and other key stakeholders. The Conservation Authority's Landowner Environmental Assistance Program funding, is key to leveraging funding from the federal government. The LSRCA, working with its municipal and government partners, community groups and landowners, develops proposals for prevention and restoration projects and monitoring and research programs for funding consideration under the fund. Environment Canada is assisted by the Protect and Preserve the Environment of Lake Simcoe (PROPEL) committee and by a Technical Review Committee in the review and approval process of project submissions. 6 07 CD 0 0 0- 0 D O r sy (D 07 3 0 0 CD X CD c0 0 n 0 0 CD Z W 0 D c 0 !v C!] CD O v O C>D W Member Municipalities and Board of Directors To protect and restore our watershed, the municipalities within our partnership appoint members to serve on the Conservation Authority's Board of Directors.

This information fills some long-standing data gaps and improves the direction of management decisions and plan development. This program complements the water quality monitoring program undertaken by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and fisheries monitoring conducted by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. Surface Water Water quality samples and measurements of the water's flow are taken on 12 rivers entering Lake Simcoe. The information is combined with biophysical monitoring data (see next section) to provide a more complete picture of the ecosystem's health. The problems, and examine seasonal or short-term changes in surface water conditions such as drought. Biophysical We collect and analyze information about fish and fish habitat, benthic insects, temperature, riparian condition, geomorphic and physical stream measurements, algae, and aquatic plants from the watershed streams.

Flood forecasting and warning systems must be continually upgraded because of changing watershed conditions due to urban development and climate change. Recently, flooding has been more intensive and frequent. There have been two local 1: 100 year storms - Barrie in 2005, and Newmarket in 2006. A series of events in the winter of 2009 resulted in the highest flows ever recorded by the Conservation Authority on gauges in the East Holland, Pefferlaw and Beaver Rivers. In addition, Lake Simcoe reached record high levels that have not been seen in over 40 years. Forestry Service The LSCRA Forestry Service manages existing forest cover on the LSRCA's properties to maintain and promote forest health, and ensure safe public access. In addition, forestry staff works with municipal partners and landowners across the watershed to maintain and establish new forest cover that links existing forest, buffers watercourses, creates new wildlife habitat and contributes to water quality and quantity. This work is done in partnership with a variety of groups including local and regional municipalities, external funding agencies, and the Lake Simcoe Conservation Foundation. Community awareness of forestry and reforestation benefits is promoted through community events including workshops, tree planting events and outreach forestry services. Forestry Management Partnership - Durham The LSRCA manages six forest tracts on behalf of the Regional Municipality of Durham, overseeing all management activities of the forest including public use, timber management and property maintenance. These forest tracts contribute significantly to the protection of the headwaters of Pefferlaw Brook. Public recreation, ranging from walking and nature appreciation, to mountain biking and organized cross-country races, is a major activity in the forest. Public consultation, through surveys and stakeholder meetings, provides strategic input for incorporation into management decisions for the forest. Through the involvement of a public stakeholder committee and Durham Region staff, the LSRCA is enhancing the recreational activities and developing a safer, more ecologically sensitive trail network. Natural Planting Partnership - York The Regional Municipality of York has an established target of 25% forest cover for its total land area. The LSRCA has adopted this target in its watershed planning process for each of the Region's subwatersheds. A significant challenge to accomplishing these goals, however, is the amount of land that is in private ownership. To encourage private owners to plant trees on their properties, the York Natural Planting Partnership (YNPP) provides financial incentives to landowners as well as technical assistance and planting services. 17 Cr sv `G (D O O PL 0 D O r- v 77, (D W 3 0 O (D X (D (2 O n O CD (D 0 D c O .O to (D t4 O W 1 Assistance Prog•am conservation owner gnvironmenkke 5imcpe Region Cons d York, Durham nd LEAP _ Lan between artnersh%P the and the For over LEAP is a P bey municipalities, of Agriculture its mem Ontario Federation financial support "nor .

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Authority's management Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Authority as at December 31, 2009 and the results of its operations, changes in net debt and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. Budget figures are provided for comparative purposes and have not been subject to audit procedures. Accordingly, we do not express any opinion regarding the budget figures.

Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2009 1. Nature of operations The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (the "Authority') was established on September 6, 1951 by Order-in-Council No. OC-1723-51, in accordance with Section 3(1) of the Conservation Authorities Act of Ontario. The objects of the Authority as stated in Section 20(1) of the Conservation Authorities Act R.S.O. 1990 are, Io establish and undertake, in the area over which it has jurisdiction, a program designed to further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources, other than gas, oil, coal and minerals". 2. Summary of significant accounting policies Basis of accounting Effective January 1, 2009, the Authority adopted the Public Sector Accounting Handbook (PSAB) Section 1200 - Financial Statement Presentation, which became applicable to local governments as of that date. This section requires the adoption of full accrual basis of accounting and the reporting of the change in net financial assets and accumulated surplus. The Authority's financial statements are now presented on this new basis and the comparative figures have been restated to conform with the new basis of presentation. Effective January 1, 2009, the Authority adopted the PSAB Section 3150 - Tangible Capital Assets. The Library has recorded its tangible capital assets for 2009, as well as 2008 for comparative purposes. The effect of the adoption of Sections 1200 and 3150 to the previously reported financial statements is as follows: Accumulated surplus 2009 2008 Balance previously reported as Authority's position $ (492,844) $ (756,815) Recording of tangible capital assets 8.363.781 8.027.561 Balance of year, as restated $ 7,870,937 $ 7,270,746 Revenue and expenditures are recorded on the accrual basis, whereby they are reflected in the accounts in the year in which they have been earned and incurred respectively, whether or not such transactions have been settled by the receipt or payment of money. various revenue and expenditure items flow through the statement of financial activities based on their general nature in relation to operating activities. To the extent that these revenue and expenditure items relate to specific reserve balances, these items are reflected on Schedule 5 - Statement of Continuity of Reserves.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Tangible capital assets Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost which includes all amounts that are directly attributable to acquisition, construction, development or betterment of the asset. Tangible capital assets received as contributions are recorded at their fair value at the date of receipt and recognized as revenue. The costs, less residual value, of the tangible capital assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows: Land improvements 20 years Buildings and building improvements 20 to 40 years Furniture and fbctures 20 to 25 years Machinery and Equipment 4 to 10 years Vehicles 5 to 10 years Computers and computer software 4 to 10 years Infrastructure 20 to 55 years One-half of the annual amortization is charged in the year of acquisition and in the year of disposal. Assets under construction are not amortized until the asset is available for productive use. Leases Leases are classified as capital or operating leases. Leases which transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks incidental to ownership of property are accounted for as capital leases. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases and the related lease payments are charged to expenses as incurred. Cash and cash equivalents The Authority considers deposits in banks and short term investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents. Vacation pay and lieu time liability Vacation credits earned but not taken and lieu time entitlements are accrued as earned. Reserves Reserves for future expenditures and contingencies are established and approved for use as required at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Increases or decreases in these reserves are made by appropriations to or from operations. Government transfers Government transfers are recognized in the financial statements as revenue in the fiscal year the related expenditures are incurred or services performed.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Deferred revenue The Authority receives certain amounts principally from other public sector bodies, the proceeds of which may only be used in the conduct of certain programs or completion of specific work. Further, certain user charges and fees are collected but for which the related services have yet to be performed. These externally restricted amounts are recognized as revenue in the fiscal year the related expenditures are incurred or services performed. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenditures during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 3. Budget figures The approved budget for 2009 is provided for comparison purposes on the statement of operations. Certain programs or specific projects budgeted for in the year were not completed as at December 31 and therefore a direct comparison of actual versus budget amounts for expenditures may not be appropriate. The 2009 budget was approved by the Board of Directors on April 17, 2009. The budget figures are unaudited. 4.

Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2009 6. Long term debt Pursuant to an Agreement effective April 18, 2006, the Regional Municipality of York ("Region' advanced the Authority a loan in the amount of $2,005,659 to partly fund the construction of the Authority's headquarters. The loan is unsecured and bears interest at the rate of 4.5%. The loan was made up of a forgivable component and a repayable component however the repayable component has been fully repaid. The forgivable component of $1,770,059 is repayable over a 10 year period. Provided that all of the terms and conditions of the loan are satisfied, the Region shall annually forgive the principal instalment otherwise payable in that year as well as the interest. Should the Authority be in default under the terms of the Agreement, any remaining outstanding balance of the loan shall become due and payable immediately, together with interest from the date of default. 7. Financial instruments The fair values of cash, short term deposits, receivables, payables and accruals, deferred revenue, security deposits and vacation pay, lieu time and payroll liability approximate their carrying values because of their expected short term maturity and treatment on normal trade terms. 8. Pension agreement The Authority makes contributions to the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System ("OMERS") which is a multi-employer plan, on behalf of full-time members of staff and eligible part time staff. The plan is a defined benefit pension plan, which specifies the amount of the retirement benefit to be received by the employees based on the length of service and rates of pay. Contributions made by the Authority to OMERS for 2009 were $317,628 (2008 - $312,176). 9. Credit facility The Authority maintains an operating line facility with a Canadian chartered bank which bears interest at prime plus 0.5% and is due on demand. As of December 31, 2009, no balance was payable under this facility. 10. Contingent liabilities Certain unresolved legal claims are outstanding against the Authority. No amounts have been accrued in the financial statements for any potential losses arising from these claims as the Authority anticipates any individual settlements will not exceed the limits of insurance coverage or the outcomes are not determined at this time. 10 Page 143 of 183 11 b) - Gayle Wood, CAO, Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority r...

May 19, 2010 Doug Irwin Township of Oro - Medonte Mr. Irwin, REcEIVEp- MAY 1 9 2010 ORO-MEDONTE TOWNSHIP On Behalf of the Ontario Cycling Association, I would like to request partial road closure of the 6t' Line of Oro, North of Old Barrie Road for approx. 500 m. The road closure would allow for bicycle crossing from Hardwood Ski and Bike trails onto a Country Forest section for the Summer Epic 8 Hour on July 24, 2010 This event is fully sanctioned and insured through the Ontario Cycling Association ($5 Million), and will have Township of Oro-Medonte named as an additional insured. The race organization will provide "marshals" at the closure and crossing points to ensure rider safety. The riders will be purely crossing the road, back and forth at one point, not travelling along the road at all. Permission for the same events has been granted annually since 2004, with no apparent problems. Below is the proposed letter distributed to all mailboxes on the 6a' Line between Old Barrie Rd and Bass Lake Side Rd. Please let me know if you require any more information.

Dear Neighbor, Hardwood Ski and Bike will be hosting the Summer Epic 8 Hour this Saturday July 24. As part of the event riders will be crossing the 6`s line of Oro just north of Old Barrie Road by Hardwood Hills. It is simply a road crossing, and riders will not be traveling along the road. The Township has approved a partial road closure at this point, and the road will be partially barricaded to allow local traffic. The actual crossing point will be controlled by race officials, and we will endeavor to minimize any delay to local traffic. We appreciate your consideration and support of these healthy and fun events. Please feel free to contact myself if you have any concerns or questions.
