Presumptive Legislation for Volunteer and Part -time Firefighters
On November 5, 2009, the Provincial government announced that it is moving to pass a
regulation that will extend presumptive provisions to volunteer and part -time firefighters and
fire investigators for specific health conditions attributed to firefighting. Currently, these
presumptions apply only to full -time firefighters in Ontario.
On May 3, 2007, the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act was changed to provide full -time
municipal fire service employees compensation for certain cancers types of cancer or heart
damage suffered within 24 hours of responding to an emergency that is presumed to be the
result of his or her employment in the municipal fire service. The government will now add a
regulation that will extend this compensation to all firefighters and fire investigators.
More than 150 municipalities submitted resolutions endorsing the extension of the
legislation's presumptive provisions to volunteer and part -time firefighters. AMO supported
the extension of compensation to volunteer and part -time firefighters as a matter of equity.
Ontario has about 11,000 full -time firefighters, 19,000 volunteer firefighters and 220 part -time
firefighters. Forty -six fire investigators from the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshal are on
active duty.

United Way of Greater Simcoe County
RE: United Wav Dav November 26, 2009
The United Way of Greater Simcoe County has been helping to make our community stronger for the past 50
years. The recent financial turmoil has dramatically increased the demand for the services our member agencies
provide to those in need, so it is imperative that we reach out to the leaders in our community to ensure our
2009/2010 campaign is a success.
United Way Day is a new awareness and fundraising initiative this year. We will be inviting the Simcoe County
community to participate in fundraising activities on Thursday, November 26, 2009 on behalf of the United Way
of Greater Simcoe County. While the fund raising activities will vary based upon the creativity of the participants,
we will be encouraging the business community to implement a point -of -sale program to request a donation from
their customers on United Way Day.
To help promote this event and make United Way Day a success, we respectfully request that you officially
proclaim November 26, 2009 as United Way Day. By designating this specific day as United Way Day, we
hope to develop more awareness of the work that the United Way and its member agencies do in our community
and gather a greater amount of community support to assist the United Way achieve its 2009/2010 campaign
goal.
As noted in the enclosed brochure, the United Way of Greater Simcoe County supports 19 agencies providing 45
programs, along with 14 New Initiative Programs across Greater Simcoe County. 100% of the funds raised by
United Way's Community Fund support these local programs. Adequate funding is critical in ensuring that these
agencies are able to tackle our region's toughest issues including mental health, domestic violence and abuse,
and affordable housing and homelessness.
Our mission statement at United Way is to improve lives and build community by engaging individuals and
mobilizing collective action. Collectively, we can all come together and inspire, build, and change our community!
Everyone can help make a difference today by supporting the United Way! We look forward to your support by
proclaiming November 26, 2009 as United Way Day.

Minister of Natural Resources
Suite 6630 6 Floor

TORONTO, ON

Dear Minister Cansfield:
Subject: Role and Responsibilities of Conservation Authorities
Recently, the Township of Essa in Simcoe County, a fellow member municipality of the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA), circulated a resolution to us
calling for an operation audit of the NVCA.
At a meeting of Council on November 3, 2009, the Township of Mulmur supported the
Township of Essa resolution. We have, for several years, also been pushing for more
accountability and a general streamlining of the role and responsibilities of the NVCA,
primarily to reduce duplication and costs.
You may recall that representatives from Mulmur Township, inctuding Sue Snider, our
Deputy- Mayor, have spoken with you about this very issue. Previously, we had met with
the Hon. David Ramsay, your predecessor, about this issue at the 2007 AMO conference.
A copy of an outline of our presentation to Minister Ramsey is attached.
He indicated to us that he too had felt that the conservation authorities had, on occasion,
"overstepped their bounds and that an internal review was already being carried out at
that time, and that the findings would soon be made available. However, to date, no such
report has ever been released or received.
Page 11 of 88
6b) Terry Horner, CAO /Clerk, Township of...
It seems to us that, if information useful to this initiative is already available, or is soon to
be made available, a great deal of time and effort can be saved, and additional costs
avoided.
Can you please advise the Township of Mulmur of the status of this initiative and provide
us with a copy of any and all information that is available pertaining to this matter.
If there is a different protocol or process that must be followed in order to obtain the
information, such as a Freedom of Inforrnation request, please advise us of what we need
to do to obtain this information.
We look forward to your response.
Yours very truly,

CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY
Presentation to the Hon. David Ramsey
Minister of Natural Resources
Subject: Concerns of the Township of Mulmur over Conservation
Authority Regulations, Policy Interpretation and Fees /Levies
Introduction
The Township of Mulmur, a small rural member municipality of the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority, has serious concerns with what
is happening with our Authority.
Our concerns are shared by many other member municipalities of the
NVCA, as evident in the copies of correspondence we are providing today.
The NVCA itself has apparently also now recognized that there are
problems, and has initiated its own effort to address some of the same
concerns that we have, as is evident in their February 16, 2007, a copy of
which we are also providing.
The Bottom Line
We have "hit the wall" with respect to:
The seemingly ever increasing and diversifying role of the NVCA;
The extent to which excessive regulations and controls are being
imposed, and;
what we, as a municipality, and our ratepayers should be expected to
pay for.
Page 14 of 88
6b) Terry Horner, CAO /Clerk, Township of...
Generic Regulations
Mulmur Township has serious concerns about the accuracy of recently
released mapping of regulated areas.
We question the necessity of applying regulations to many areas of the
Township, such as, for example, municipal road ditches and low areas
through cultivated fields.
We have serious concerns with what we see as the overzealousness of the
NVCA in pursuing a strict and inflexible interpretation of policies and
regulations, often against even the smallest and seemingly most harmless
undertakings.
This became a hot issue in the last municipal election.
Landowners were and remain largely unaware of the mapping and the
implications of what is being done, until they require NVCA approvals.
We feel that the NVCA's job is to ensure that the impacts of development
and site alterations are minimal and acceptable, and that things get done
right.
Anything else is unnecessary, and unnecessarily onerous and expensive.
Provincial Policy Interpretation
We have also had a number of planning applications which have resulted in
an objection from the NVCA, based on a narrow "interpretation" of
Provincial Policy.
The NVCA's position is that the "must be consistent with" Provincial Policy
requirement constitutes, as an example, a virtual prohibition of any and all
development and site alterations in flood plains.
All watercourses, whether they are seasonally wet drainage channels, or the
Nottawasaga River, seem to be regarded as the same under this
"interpretation
Page 15 of 88
6b) Terry Horner, CAO /Clerk, Township of...
Although they seem reluctantly willing to consider applications under their
regulations for such things as watercourse crossings on existing lots, they
feel that they are not allowed to permit them in any situation where the
proposal involves an application under the Planning Act (and conformity
with the PPS), such as an application for a severance or re-zoning.
When challenged, the NVCA advised that Provincial Policy ties their hands.
They have, in fact, suggested that we take the matter up with you and your
colleague, Minister Gerretson.
Since both your Ministry and the Conservation Authorities are key delivery
agencies, will you please investigate, in concert with Minister Gerretson,
whether the Province actually intended that Provincial Policies and
Conservation Authority regulations were to be applied in such a rigorous and
inflexible manner?
Municipal Levies and Fees
Our greatest concern is that this all costs a great deal of money.
As a result;
the fees charged by the NVCA for approvals are too often arbitrary,
excessive and unjustified.
the NVCA's planning budget has increased five fold in seven years.
These are all costs which ultimately must be borne by our ratepayers,
homeowners, consumers, farmers, businesses, etc.
We feel that these ever increasing costs, which are the result of an ever
expanding role and mandate of the NVCA are, in turn, the consequence of
the downloading of responsibilities from the Province without a
corres ondin ade uate contribution of Provincial fundin su sort.
0
Council feels that the burden of cost cannot be expected to continue to be
borne by the local municipalities and their ratepayers.
Page 16 of 88
6b) Terry Horner, CAO /Clerk, Township of...
Will you therefore please conduct a review of:
what the CAs are doing and why;
where duplication and waste can be eliminated;
why it all has to cost so much money;
how it can be more equitably funded, and
how the Province intends to provide its fair share.
Respectfully submitted for your consideration and a response.
Thank. you!

Subiect: Mel Coutanche resigns from the NVCA Board
To: The NCVA Board of Directors
After much deliberation and soul- searching, I must remove myself as a
member of the NVCA Board of Directors.
In early 2009, when I was appointed as one of the two NVCA Board Members
representing the Township of Oro Medonte, I hoped that I could help bring a
reasonable and rational approach to continuing the valued relationship
between the Township of Oro Medonte and the NVCA especially in the area
of Service Delivery from the Supplier to the Customer.
Also, I hoped that my previous professional and personal experience and
many past successes with facilitating partnerships and cooperation would be
an asset. (See list below).
Unfortunately, I have not been effective and I know that it is the best
interest of the Township of Oro Medonte; I must resign and be replaced.
Thank you for the valuable experience in 2009.
Yours sincerely,
Mel Coutanche

The analysis of expenditures by function permits determination of where the Township's expenditures
on a per capita and per dwelling basis are below, at or above the median of the comparator group.
It is important to highlight that in no instance were expenditures on a per capita or per dwelling basis
higher than the comparator group.
Governance (Council) related expenditures and those of Corporate Administration (CAO Office, Clerk,
Finance /Treasury) at the Township are at the median of the comparator group.

Page 46 of 88
8c) Report No. CAO 2009 -14, Robin Dunn,
For both Fire Emergency Services and the Transportation Services Division, it would be expected
that the per capita and per dwelling expenditures at the Township would be higher than the
comparator group since the square kilometer area serviced by the Township is 41% larger than the
median of the comparator group (i.e., Oro Median 587 square kilometers vs. median of the
comparator group at 417 square kilometer).
The data shows that the per capita expenditures at the Township are slightly lower than the median of
the comparator group while per dwelling expenditures match the median. This analysis indicates the
Township is cost effective with respect to current levels of service (provincial legislation) provided by
Fire Emergency Services and the Transportation Services Division.
The comparison of Environmental Services (Waterworks) indicates that the Township's expenditures
on a per capita and per dwelling basis are significantly lower than the median of the comparator
group. One factor that could impact comparator expenditure levels is a number of the comparator
municipalities have a waste water treatment facility and would have associated expenditures. Oro
Medonte currently does not have a waste water treatment facility.
Planning Development expenditures on both a per capita and per dwelling basis are lower than the
median of the comparator group.
For the remaining functions Parks, Recreation Culture and Libraries the Township's expenditures
on a per capita and per dwelling basis are substantially lower than the median of the comparator
group. It is these services delivered to residents that build a sense of community in a municipality.
Council has undertaken a Strategic Recreation Master Facility Plan and received an update
presentation today outlining recommendations for both policy considerations and a long term
investment strategy to address delivery of these community building services.
It is also important to note that programs /facilities provided by the Parks, Recreation Culture
Department produce revenues in the form of user fees that normally account for 55 -60% of the
recreation program operating budget of this Department in a municipality. This recovery offset
reduces significantly the cost to a municipality for the delivery of recreation related programs and
services.
Overall, the detailed review of expenditures by function confirms a fiscally conservative and /or cost
efficient approach in service delivery by the Township. In fact, as noted above, there may be areas
where Oro Medonte should consider increasing expenditures in the future, particularly with respect to
Parks, Recreation Culture.

Total Debt Burden
The data presents a fiscally conservative approach in a comparison of the Township's total debt
burden as compared to the median of the comparator group. At $1,909,292, Oro Medonte's debt is
well below the median of the comparator group at $8,792,344. Combined, the Township's debt on a
per capita and per dwelling basis represent about a third of the median of the comparator group's debt
burden. Previously referenced under expenditures by function, a number of the comparator
municipalities have a waste water treatment facility and would have associated debt. The other
comparator group municipalities carry on average three times the debt as compared to Oro Medonte.
