STEWARDSHIP OF THE SOIL
Under and between the panels
Recurrent Energy will plant a native,
low growing, dense vegetation mix
designed to prevent erosion and
protect the soil.
Recurrent Energy is committed at the

Proud Heritage, Exciting Future
BACKGROUND /ANALYSIS:
During the current corporate strategic planning process, Council established Tourism
and Economic Development as a strategic priority for 2009 -2010 and designated that
municipal staff time be dedicated to this role through the creation of the Director of
Corporate Strategic Initiatives (CSI) position; this position was filled July 5 2010.
Further, in September 2009 Council endorsed staff report (CAO 2009 -011) which
initiated a community consultation process designed to culminate in the development of
an Economic Development Plan for the Township.
In order to move this priority forward, the following activities have been initiated and /or
completed since July 5 this year:
A review of the results of initial business /community consultations conducted by
the staff of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs and the Ministry of
Tourism,
The collection of demographic data on the Township sourced from the 2006
Census and the Township of Oro Medonte Community Profile compiled by
Statistics Canada and the work completed by John Kettle as contained in the
Strategic Facility Plan,

Page 18 of 40
4b) Report No. CSI 2010 -02, Donna Hewitt...
A review and analysis of economic data available from the Ministry of Agriculture,
Food, and Rural Affairs' Rural Economic Development Data Intelligence
(REDDI) website,
Staff report (CSI 2010 -01) outlining a process to complete the Township's
Economic Development plan presented and adopted by Council,
Outreach to Economic Development Specialists currently practicing in other
municipalities to benchmark best practices and determine, among other things,
how other Economic Development offices /departments are structured and
operate,
Informal dialogue with members of the Oro Medonte business community.
Municipal Business Analysis:
The following key statistics pertaining to the Oro Medonte business community were
noted as a result of analysis of Provincial and Federal data:
There were approximately 1,200 registered businesses within the Township, of
which Construction, Professional /Scientific/Technical Services, Retail, Real
Estate /Rental /Leasing and Agriculture represent approximately 60% of the total
registered establishments,
These 1,200 businesses employed approximately 4,000 individuals with the
biggest employers being from the Manufacturing, Retail, Accommodations /Food
Services, Arts /Entertainment/Recreation and Construction sectors providing
approximately 55% of all jobs,
The Township's employed labour force was approximately 11,000 with nearly
1,300 of these individuals working from their homes (home -based
businesses /telecommute),
There are key pockets of commercial /industrial activity within the Township
including: along the Highway 1 lcorridor or within easy access to Highway 11; the
industrial area focused around the community of Forest Home; in close proximity
to Barrie and in the Craighurst/Horseshoe Valley area.
Economic Advisory Roundtable:
There are two primary models utilized within the Economic Development purview to
provide support to staff and connection /communication linkages with local businesses:
Committees of Council;
Working Groups /Roundtables.
Committees of Council typically are in place for the term of Council (four years), and
follow structured, formalized meeting procedures. Many Committees are filled through
a public application process; other Committees are comprised of members selected by
the municipality for their expertise.
Working Groups /Roundtables are less formalized, have greater flexibility to be modified
more easily to reflect the changing needs of the business community and the Economic
Development goals of the municipality and participation can be reflective of factors such
CSI Meeting Date September 15, 2010
Report No CSI 2010 -02 Page 2 of 5
Page 19 of 40
4b) Report No. CSI 2010 -02, Donna Hewitt...
as geography, sectoral composition (as noted above) or a specific project's focus.
Roundtables have the ability to engage a broad cross section of businesses and enable
the business community to suggest participation from their colleagues from within the
township.
As evidenced by the feedback provided through the community consultation process
and further augmented with commentary from area businesses, there is a need to "build
relationships" with the business community and to engage in "better communication"
between business and the municipality.
Based on best practices and analysis, it is recommended, that, during the initial stages
of development and implementation of the Economic Development strategy, the
Township's interests would be best served by a Roundtable; a flexible model that would
permit staff to invite participation from those members of the business community best
suited to contribute to the topic under discussion. Eventually, it would not be
unreasonable to expect that a core group of citizens, reflective of our sectoral
composition would become permanent members of the Roundtable, with the balance of
the participants varying depending on the particular initiative being pursued. There is a
need to build trust within the business community.
Establishing a Roundtable that provides an opportunity to communicate, and build
connections and trust with a variety of businesses would build the foundation for
effective and productive relationships between the municipality and our businesses.

There will be no additional expenses incurred beyond those previously approved by
Council.
Remuneration is not recommended at this time.

ATTACHMENT #1
Economic Development Roundtable Scope of Activity
The Economic Development Roundtable will act as a
communication conduit between the Oro Medonte Township
business community and the municipality.
Participants of the Roundtable will:
provide feedback to and may assist the Director of CSI on
the ongoing development and implementation of the
Economic Development Strategy,
identify issues of importance to the business community,
provide comment on development opportunities as they
arise and,
assist with development of partnerships and establishing
linkages amongst other regional entities and business
serving organizations.
Participation: To be effective, all participants must agree to set aside their
corporate and personal interests and be guided solely by what is in
the best interests of the Township.
Composition will be reflective of the business community.
Participants will be active members of the business community.
There would be representation from Council.
There would be representation from the Oro Medonte Chamber of
Commerce (staff or director).
The Director of CSI will report on a semi annual basis to Council
regarding the activities of the Roundtable.
Minutes will be provided to Council on a regular basis.

Report No. DS 2010 -048
Proud Heritage, Exciting Future
1 RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action For Information Onlyn
1. THAT Report No. DS 2010 -048 be received and adopted.
2. THAT the Township of Oro Medonte enters into a Site Plan Agreement with David
Lefevre and Dawn Martin to permit a single detached dwelling at 89 Springhome
Road.
3. THAT the Clerk prepares a By -law for Council's consideration to enter into a Site
Plan Agreement with David Lefevre and Dawn Martin.
4. THAT the Clerk prepare a By -law for Council's consideration to remove the Holding
Symbol from lands described as 89 Springhome Road, West Part of Lot 26,
Concession 9, Being Part 6, on Plan 51R-36216,
5. AND THAT the owners be notified of Council's decision.
I BACKGROUND:
The subject lands were previously the subject of an Official Plan and Zoning By -law
Amendment Application (2004- OPA -03 and 2004- ZBA -04) which were approved by
Council on November 14, 2007. The zoning now in effect on the subject lands is
Shoreline Residential Exception 179 Holding (SR *179 (H)). As such, the owner must
enter into a Site Plan Agreement prior to the removal of the Holding Symbol and
issuance of a Building Permit.

5a) Report No. DS 2010 -48, Andria Leigh,...
I ANALYSIS:
The subject lands are zoned Shoreline Residential Exception 179 Holding (SR *179 (H))
Zone. The Holding provision was applied to these lands as part of the rezoning
application since the subject property abuts lands that have been identified as
environmentally significant and in order to identify on each of the residential Tots the
areas for tree preservation. The Holding provision requires a Site Plan to be submitted
which depicts the building and septic envelopes. The site plan submitted identifies the
dwelling area, septic system area and driveway location. It is intended that the existing
vegetation outside of the immediate areas of the dwelling, septic system and driveway
will be protected during building construction. It should be noted that the subject lands
are the mostly easterly of the lots previously created and do not contain and are not
adjacent to lands that are zoned Environmental Protection (EP) Zone.
The subject lands are designated "Shoreline" by the Official Plan. The proposed
residential development conforms with the policies of the "Shoreline" designation.
Permitted uses in the SR*179 (H) Zone include single detached dwellings and
accessory buildings. As such, the applicant's proposal to construct a dwelling would
constitute a permitted use. The subject property consists of 0.54 hectares of lot area
with 57 metres of frontage on Springhome Road. The proposed dwelling meets and
exceeds the setbacks required by Zoning By -law 97 -95, as amended.

POLICIES /LEGISLATION:
Township of Oro Medonte Official Plan

I CONSULTATIONS:
The LSRCA has commented that given the subject lands (Part 6 on Plan 51R-36216)
are located outside any flood plain, erosion hazard limit, steep slopes and wetland with
an associated buffer; the LSRCA would have no objection to site plan approval. In
addition, the subject lands are located outside an outside an area that is governed by
Ontario Regulation 179/06 under the Conservation Authorities Act, as such, a permit will
not be required from the LSRCA. The Building Department has no objections to the
proposed site plan.

I CONCLUSION:
The application to construct a dwelling constitutes a permitted use and would comply
with all requirements of the Shoreline Residential (SR (H)) Zone. It is recommended
that Site Plan Application 2010- SPA -24 and the Removal of the Holding Provision
applying to the subject lands (Part 6 on Plan 51 R- 36216) be approved.

4.2 Grand Opening
B. Molesworth reported that the Ontario govemment Minister
responsible for infrastructure is unable to attend and will not be
sending anyone to represent him or her. The lineup of speakers
is D. Crombie, M.C., G. Dunlop, M.P.P., B. Stanton, M.P.,
B. Molesworth and G.A. Walker, Chairman of the Library Board.
C. Moore commented that there didn't seem to be anything
advertising the event on the Library website. B. Molesworth said
that there will be something posted soon. The event is on
Wednesday, July 14 at 5:00 p.m. Refreshments will be served.
4.3 Room Rentals
B. Molesworth informed the Board that he had reviewed the
Library's previous room rental policy before he wrote the Room
Rentals discussion paper that was currently before them. He
also conferred with Staff about the possible rental of the new
Assembly Room for social events such as weddings and other
parties. Staff feel that these kinds of events have the potential to
present some real problems in securing the building and would
put increased demand and responsibility on them. B. Molesworth
also spoke with M. McCormick, our custodian, as to whether he
had any interest in coming back at night to clean up after these
events. He did not. After some discussion the Board agreed that
occasions such as weddings could be problematic e.g. last
minute demands and clearing the building afterwards. The rates
B. Molesworth outlined in the discussion paper were also
adopted.

protect employees from workplace violence. It is difficult to
address the potential issues due to our layout with multiple
entrances. The Town Office has a reception area and visitors will
have to sign in. This simply won't work in a public library setting.
The Town has given us a draft policy to look at which we will
have to modify. New name tags are being talked about. J. Swick
asked if there are any other similar organizations that we could
clone a policy from. B. Molesworth responded that the NSSRC
has similar problems with multiple entrances and Staff all over
the building. We will also look at what other libraries are doing.
Approval of the accounts
A. Campbell stated that a large part of the expenditures are still
due to the construction project. B. Molesworth spoke to the
installation of an enhanced security system. C. Moore asked if
the cameras can be manipulated. B. Molesworth said no, those
kinds of systems are too expensive but there are 20 cameras
throughout the building and monitoring can be done from
multiple computers. We are recording as well. A question about
the use of panic buttons arose. B. Molesworth stated that we had
them in the old building and the issue was discussed at a Staff
Meeting. We may look into it.
Moved by A Campbell
Seconded by: J. Swick
That the accounts for the month of May 2010 totalling $211,464.18 be
approved.
Reports of Board Committees
6.1 Finance Committee
Finance Chair, A. Campbell distributed the Library Financial
Statement for the five months ending May 31, 2010. On the
Operating side, expenditures appear to be where they should be,
at 39 B. Molesworth, once again, explained the Capital Budget
is not as over spent as it seems. Due to delays with the project

some purchases didn't happen last year and, as a result, it has
all come out of this year's budget. He has spoken with Town
Treasurer, S. Gignac about this. C. Moore asked about the
debenture for the expansion project. B Molesworth explained
that it will likely be spread over 10 years or longer.
6.2 Fundraising Committee Direct Mail
G.A. Walker informed the Board that V. Barycky, who couldn't
attend this evening's meeting, is still willing to help with this
campaign. B. Molesworth informed the Board that he has just
been told by Canada Post that our customer account has expired
and they now have new rules. He will pursue clarification.
6.3 Building Committee
B. Molesworth reported that the RFID tagging is almost complete
and we will re -open on Monday, June 14P. Staff were trained
today on the new RFID security system. We will need some
hands on practice.
6.4 Report from the Friends of the Midland Public Library
The Friends have not met recently, so no report.
7.1 Staff Evaluations
B. Molesworth informed the Board that he would like to do Staff
evaluations, including his own, before this Library Board's term
comes to an end. It is important to have a record before the new
Council Library Board are in place. A sub committee of the
Board should be struck to carry out B. Molesworth's evaluation.
The Town is now using a new form, so perhaps the Committee
could have a look at that to see if they would find it useful. G.A.
Walker asked for volunteers. V. Nihill volunteered to Chair and
G.A. Walker, A. Campbell and B. Desroches also volunteered to
sit on the Committee.

8.2 Government of Ontario Equitable Access to Electronic

The Government of Ontario has announced a $2,000,000.00

Knowledge Ontario is running out of money. They are the body
that currently makes available more than 40 databases or
e- resources to Public Libraries. They were supposed to become
self sustaining but have failed to do so. There will be a
consultation process through SOLS to determine how to move
forward. Libraries may be asked to help support the Knowledge
Ontario databases.
8.3 Board Meeting Dates
G. Griffith reviewed the dates for the next few Board meetings.
There will not be a meeting in July. The next three dates are as

On another matter, G.A. Walker informed the Board that she is in
the process of making plans to move to Coldwater, so she will
not be eligible to re -apply this Fall. She reminded the Board that,
since it is a Municipal election year, they will need to re -apply to
the Town of Midland. She encouraged them to do so.

Draft Proposed Assessment Report:
South Georgian Bay Lake Simcoe (SGBLS) Source Protection Region
Pursuant to the Clean Water Act, 2006 (the Act) and Ontario Regulation 287/07
In accordance with the Clean Water Act, 2006 the clerks of all municipalities within each Source
Protection Region shall be notified upon completion of Draft Proposed Assessment Reports.
Assessment Reports are an important step in the mapping of our municipal drinking water
sources in the province: they will lay the foundation for the development of source protection
plans in 2012 which aim to eliminate threats to drinking water and prevent tragedies such as the
one which occurred in Walkerton, Ontario in May of 2000.
This letter is to inform you that the Draft Proposed Assessment Reports for the South Georgian
Bay Lake Simcoe Source Protection Region have been released for public consultation. Enclosed
is hard copy of the Summary Report for this Draft Proposed Assessment Report. A separate
Assessment Report is required for each of the source protection areas within the SGBLS Source
Protection Region. The SGBLS region is comprised of three Source Protection Areas: the Lakes
Simcoe and CouchichingBlack River Source Protection Area, the Severn Sound Source
Protection Area, and the Nottawasaga Valley Source Protection Area. Each of these reports is
enclosed electronically with this package. They are also available for viewing at
www.ourwatershed.ca.
At this time I welcome you to review the relevant Draft Proposed Assessment Report(s) and
provide comments to me by October 8, 2010. Should you require further information, please
