DISCLOSURE OF PECUNIARY INTEREST AND THE GENERAL
NATURE THEREOF
April 15, 2011
Mayor Orsi declared a possible conflict with item 7 (f), as he has land in the vicinity.
DELEGATIONS
SPCA — Presentation re: Services and Fees — Tom Malloy / Jim Sykes
Mr. Sykes, Head Office, made the presentation to the committee.
Gave an overview of the services that the organization provides (since 1974) for the various
municipalities, including enforcing the by -laws. The costing provided to the municipalities is
for core services only — it does not include extra services that the SPCA provides. The
Province of Ontario does not provide any operational funding. MNR does not provide for
wildlife capture.
OSMH — Physician Recruitment re: Need for Professional Recruiter
— Tony Katarynych, Chair / Pat Thor / Elisabeth Riley, CEO -OSMH / Jackie Shaughnessy, Mgr.
Medical Affairs
A slide presentation was provided. This group has been operating on an ad hoc basis. They
feel that it is critical to have a full -time professional recruiter — this will allow them to become
proactive vs. reactive. They require additional assistance to become proactive.
The funding request is for $2 per capita — this is for a recruiter, marketing material and a
website.
Physician Recruiter, Barrie and Area Recruiter — Kristi Caddotte
Successfully recruited 150 doctors to the Barrie and Area in the past 5 years. There are 315
communities in Ontario looking for family physicians. She works collaboratively with many
other municipalities. The only incentive that they offer is a $5,000.00 relocation fee — this is
once the physician moves to the area.
ADOPTION OF MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING — February 9, 2011
It was noted that the minutes should reflect the next meeting' date as Friday, April 15
MOVED by Mayor Burkett and SECONDED by Councillor Kehoe, THAT the minutes of the

COMMON INTEREST COMMITTEE -3- April 15, 2011
7. MATTERS FOR DISCUSSION
a) Grant Requests
i) Ontario's Lake Country
Severn has moved to accept — three payments of $5,000.00 based on performance.
Orillia and Oro - Medonte have not had the opportunity to discuss this issue with their
Councils — budgets not yet set.
The Committee had a number of questions:
- Casino Rama's position should Ramara back out
- Lake Country's bottom line to operate
- RTO position with respect to access to funding.
- Is funding from RTO based on Lake Country Involvement?
- Is Lake Country involved in the RTO — Does it have representation at the RTO table?
The Chair to send letters to Casino Rama, Lake Country and to RTO to address these
issues.
ii) Physician Recruitment
Discussion following the presentations included:
— Important to have a regional approach to recruitment
— Possible direction through LHIN — they should direct the process
— Bring the recruiters from Midland, Barrie and Orillia together
Moved by Council Kehoe, seconded by Mayor Duffy that the information provided by the
two presenters be received as Informational. CARRIED.
b) Terms of Reference
Sharon R. Goerke, Deputy Clerk, Township of Severn, presented a draft copy of the
proposed Terms of Reference for this Committee. The Committee, by consensus, was in
agreement that the Terms of Reference need to be simplified. This group should be
referred to as Working Group vs. Committee. The Clerks will work on revising the Terms of
Reference for presentation to the next CIC meeting.
c) Animal Control
Orillia is facing a 35% increase to their SPCA contact — from 106,000 /yr to 136,000/yr.
Ramara — Has ended their association with the SPCA. The municipality has since built its
own shelter, and provides it own service. They will provide the stats to the CIC regarding
costs /staffing, etc.

COMMON INTEREST COMMITTEE -4- April 15, 2011
Oro- Medonte — By -law enforcement no longer through the SPCA. They have hired 2 full -
time by -law officers. They use the SPCA for pound only - $18,000 /yr for use of a dedicated
pen. The SPCA collects the impound fee directly.
Rama — They contributed to the capital funding. They supported the SPCA until they
changed the contract midstream. The Head Office, and has not had the courtesy of a
response.
Severn — They have not had any problems with the SPCA. They found it was cheaper to
do it municipally. They have only had cost of living' increases added to their contract.
Sharon Goerke has advised the number of dogs impounded at the SPCA is 26 in 2010; and
3 (to -date) in 2011.
Gayle Jackson, Clerk and Shawn Crawford, Chief By -Law Enforcement Officer, City of Orillia
asked the Committee to explore the possibility of community partnering or taking a
regional approach to Animal Control.
The municipalities seemed to support this initiative.
MOVED by Councillor Clarke, seconded by Deputy Mayor Hough, THAT the Mayors take this
issue back to their respective Councils to recommend a staff committee of the CIC to
explore the possibility of community partnerships or looking at a common interest approach
to Animal Control. The staff committee will look at the existing situation, as well as options
moving forward. CARRIED.
d) Recreational Partnerships
Councillor Kehoe provided the Committee with a RAC update. Orillia is in the process of
undergoing a Recreational needs process.
Severn in the process of assigning a RAC committee
As per the last CIC meeting, the Recreation Directors from the various municipalities are
meeting to discuss and assess the recreational needs.
e) Bridges
A joint meeting with Mayors /Chief and the MTO should be arranged to bring a number
items of safety to the MTO's attention. Garfield Dunlop, MPP, should be invited to this
meeting.

i) Extending the Boating Season — Water Management Level — Trent Severn

protect the fish spawning. Possible alternatives are being investigated, although it seems
unlikely that the MNR will change its position.

Waste Management now that Site 41 is gone.

BACKGROUND
On December 9, 2009, the Simcoe County District School Board approved an accommodation
review of the secondary schools within the city of Barrie. The Accommodation Review
Committee (ARC) was formed and given the task of conducting the review in accordance with
the Board's policy 2313 to address the potential failure of key building systems at Barrie Central
Collegiate Institute. Through consensus - building, decision - making and community consultation,
the committee reviewed available options and developed appropriate, community- driven
recommendations.
The committee members appreciated the opportunity provided by the Simcoe County District
School Board to be engaged in the process that provides input into its decision. ARC members
believe that in coming together with a commitment to address accommodation options related to
the facility challenges at Barrie Central, recommendations to the Board have been created that
are financially responsible and in the best interests of students. This final report, approved by
voting members on March 1, 2011 outlines the recommendations of the Accommodation
Review Committee and details the work completed by the ARC throughout the entire process.
PROCESS
The Accommodation Review was designed to be a transparent and consultative process. All
meetings were advertised and conducted as per Board policy. Working sessions were open to
members of the public. Minutes of working session meetings can be found in Appendix D. The
four public meetings encouraged the involvement of an informed community. Minutes of these
meetings can be found in Appendix E. Correspondence received by the ARC is presented in
Appendix F.
In total, ARC 2010:02 conducted 12 working session meetings and 4 public meetings to share
information, consult the public, and provide the basis for the content of this report.

The process was divided into three phases: information gathering, analysis and formulating
- options leading to recommendations. At the beginning of the process, the committee was given
the details of the SCDSB staff option (see Appendix A), provided with detailed reports related to
the enrolment trends of 5 Barrie high schools and the condition of these schools. At each
working session, members of the committee brought requests forward for additional information,
including financial impact, and for Board staff to be present to answer questions to assist the
ARC in preparing accommodation recommendations for the trustees of the SCDSB to consider.
The ARC was provided with objective information about each school to assist in the discussions
for accommodation of students. Through the many working sessions, the committee also
received a wide variety of reports on enrolment patterns, facility conditions, and School
Information Profiles (see Appendix B), which included value to the school, value to the student
and value to the community. Also included were information items from the City of Barrie such
as intensification studies and partnership opportunities. These reports can be viewed on the
ARC Website (see Appendix C).
Through the 4 public meetings held, the ARC listened to many delegations, questions, and
comments from those who attended. Hard copies from some of the delegations that were made
at these public sessions were provided to the committee.
The committee discussed several areas, not limited to but including, programming, enrolment
and projections, facilities, transportation, financial considerations, partnerships, and attendance
areas through the Terms of Reference.
The knowledge gained from all this information assisted the ARC to work through several
- possible alternative options and narrow down accommodation possibilities.
Following the final working session on March 1, 2011, the ARC's final report was submitted to
Director of Education on March 2, 2011 meeting the established timeline.

OPTIONS CONSIDERED BY THE ARC
r� Alternative accommodation options were generated and refined by members of ARC in a series
of steps that evolved over a number of working sessions. Initially, members of the ARC were
asked to "brainstorm" to identify the full range of options that could be tabled that addressed the
objectives driving the ARC taking into consideration the information that was received as part of
the Committee's deliberations. This process identified the 14 Options listed in Table A.

These options were circulated to the ARC so that members could reflect on their implications
and whether further information was required to better understand /refine each option. Once
tabulated, the options and associated implications were discussed in break -out sessions
involving voting and non - voting members of the ARC and observed by any members of the
public that were in attendance.
The initial list of 14 options (plus the Staff Option) was refined to a list of 5 (including the staff
option) based on a voting process whereby each voting member was allocated three votes to be
cast on those options that they felt were the most viable. The voting was not meant to rank
options based on popularity; rather it was meant to narrow the deliberations to those options the
voting members felt had the greatest viability based on the information heard to date.

Group 1
Talked about staff option, need for a school in the south end. Most
of us in agreement that is where the students are. Looked at leaving
Barrie Central open until 2016 with parameters. Looked at cost of
maintaining until 2016.
Could we temporarily accommodate the students at the four
secondary schools? Parameters could include:
By 2014 allow the City of Barrie to substantially develop a new
official plan and zoning amendments to promote intensification that
would attract growing families in accordance with the Places to Grow
policy. If this doesn't occur, close the school in 2016 and allocate
the students to the other four schools. Allow partnerships in
accordance with board policy.
Group 2
Maintain Barrie Central with a timeline of 2016. Pursue
partnerships. Set specific parameters. Allow time for partnerships
to develop. Set benchmarks to create magnet schools that would
attractspecific partners.
Group 3
Leave Barrie Central open until 2016. Create a business plan for a
school in the south end. Allow for partnerships. Should not close
anything until there is a place for the students.
PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS
At the working session held prior to the February 22, 2011 public meeting, where the ARC was
required to present its recommendations, these preliminary recommendations were discussed
and refined to form the basis of the final recommendations that appear in the next section of this
report:
1. That Barrie Central remain open until September 2015;
AND
2. That the SCDSB actively pursue partners, with confirmed financial contribution in
accordance with Facility Partnerships Policy 2345, specifically with the intention of
addressing a rebuild of Barrie Central at the current location with a partnership
agreement in place by December 31, 2014;
AND
3. That if the benchmark for partnerships has not been met by December 31, 2014, the
Accommodation Review Staff Option will be implemented;
AND
4. That the SCD.SB create a business plan for a secondary school in the south end of
Barrie while actively pursuing partners in accordance with Facility Partnerships Policy
2345 to offset the costs of building a new Barrie secondary school.

MEMORANDUM
To: Council
Proud Heritage, Exciting Future
From: Andria Leigh, Director of R.M. File #:
Development Services
Date: June 1, 2011 Roll #:
Subject: Township Standard for Tree Security Deposit
On May 11, 2011 Report DS2011 -016 was presented to Council and was intended to establish a fixed amount
collected as part of a Subdivision or Site Plan process to ensure compliance for tree preservation outside of an
established building envelope. These securities in accordance with the current policies are refunded to an
applicant once provisional occupancy is obtained and a Township inspection has been completed to ensure
conformity with the subdivision or site plan drawing.
As stated in the report, the Township's Official Plan contains policies which encourage the preservation of the
Township's natural heritage features which include woodlands. In order to implement these Official Plan
policies, most recent subdivision and site plan agreements have required the identification of building
envelopes and areas within the residential property which are to be preserved in their current natural state.
The wording currently contained in the Township's subdivision and site plan agreements states: "The applicant
shall deposit with the Township securities to ensure the preservation of existing vegetation outside the building
envelope, driveway location, as shown on the drawing (drawing and date) prepared by (consultant/company
name). The security deposit will be returned upon issuance of occupancy and certification by the Township
that the existing vegetation outside the building envelope and driveway access has been preserved in
compliance with the drawing /agreement ".
Staff had conducted a review of the subdivision and site plan agreements in which tree security deposits have
been implemented which included Sugarbush — Indian Park Association, Horseshoe — Highland Drive,
Horseshoe Obradovich (4` line), Moon Point, and CRA Development — Springhome Road. It was determined
that the amount of securities collected varied and ranged from $ 1000.00 to $ 15,000.00 per lot.
As stated previously the intent of the security was to ensure that sufficient monies were deposited with the
Township to ensure the preservation of existing trees outside the driveway and building envelope locations as
identified on the subdivision /site plan drawing. Should an applicant remove vegetation outside the approved
areas as identified through their registered agreement, the applicant is legally obligated to resolve this situation
of non - compliance to the Township's satisfaction. The amount of securities collected by the Township does
not affect any other requirements contained within a subdivision /site plan agreement executed with the
Township and does not remove the applicant's obligation for obtaining the necessary approvals from relevant
agencies (i.e. LSRCA, NVCA).
At the May 11, 2011 meeting Council deferred consideration of Staff Report DS2011 -016 and requested staff
to consult with other municipalities to determine security amounts required through their subdivision /site plan
agreement processes.
Page 44 of 79
10b) - Memorandum dated June 1, 2011 from ...
Staff has contacted the planning departments of the Simcoe County municipalities and also the municipalities
located within the Lake Simcoe Watershed to determine their current process and security requirements. A
very limited number of these municipalities currently have any established process implemented, some have
Site Alteration By -laws however these are directed more towards grading, erosion and sedimentation
measures and not tree preservation. For those municipalities that have an established process, the securities
range from $ 2000.00 - $3500.00 to 100 % compensation for the loss of trees based on the arborist replacement
values. These municipalities require a cost estimate to be provided from a qualified arborist to be peer review
by the municipality before establishing the security amount. On the basis of the review of other municipalities
the previous recommendation of $ 5000.00 would appear to be within the middle of the range, without requiring
individual land owners to proceed through the expense of retaining an arborist to prepare an estimate.
It is recommended to Council this memorandum be received and adopted and that Council endorse the
amount of $ 5000.00 being the Township's standard tree security deposit, applicable to residential lots with
tree preservation requirements contained within their subdivision /site plan agreement. And further that Report
DS2011 -016 be received for information only.

RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action XX For Information Only 11
It is recommended:
1. THAT Report No. DS 2011 -016 be received and adopted;
2. THAT Council establishes the required residential tree security amount to be established at
$ 5000.00 on a per lot basis to be released upon issuance of Final Lot Grading and Final
Occupancy when in compliance with the Site Plan Agreement.
BACKGROUND /ANALYSIS:
The Township's Official Plan contains policies which encourage the preservation of the
Township's natural heritage features including woodlands. On this basis, in the most
recent residential developments the Township has been requiring Tree Preservation
Plans to be prepared and appropriate securities to be held by the municipality to ensure
only the identified building envelopes are subject to tree removal. To date, these
policies have applied through various subdivision and site plan agreements in the
following areas: Sugarbush — Indian Park Association lots, Horseshoe — Highland Drive,
Horseshoe - Obradovich (4 line), CRA Developments- Springhome Road and Moon
Point subdivision.
The wording typically contained in the subdivision /site plan agreement states "
Preservation of existing vegetation outside building envelope /driveway access — The
applicant for the building permit, shall deposit with the Township at a rate applicable at
the time of the issuance of Building Permits, securities to ensure the preservation of
existing vegetation outside the building envelope, driveway location, as shown on
Drawing (title and date) prepared by (consultant/company name). The security deposit
will be returned upon issuance of final occupancy and certified by the Township that
existing vegetation outside the building envelope and driveway access has been
preserved in compliance with the agreement."

Report No. DS 2011 -016 Page 1 of 3
Page 46 of 79
10b)- Memorandum dated June 1, 2011 from
In reviewing the various subdivision /site plan agreements where tree preservation has
been a requirement the security amounts posted with the Township have not been
consistent. The original subdivision approved in 2002 (Horseshoe - Highland Drive)
required securities in the amount of $ 15,000 per lot being developed. This security
amount has also been carried forward into the first Site Plan Agreement for Lot 3 in the
Moon Point Subdivision. The lots however located in Sugarbush and Springhome had
lesser security amounts submitted.
Through discussions with Council, a request was received to consider alternate security
amounts for all future developments that would be a reduction from the current $ 15,000
requirement, which is the purpose of this report to Council.
In reviewing the Subdivision Agreements, there is an additional clause which states:
"The Developer must preserve all healthy trees within the limits of the subdivision,
where possible. If, in the opinion of the Township Engineer, indiscriminate removal of
trees takes place within the limits of the Plan of Subdivision, including road allowances,
parkland and individual lots, the Township shall have the option of having a Stop Work
Order on construction of the services and /or building on a particular lot where the
removal is taking place. Work will not be allowed to proceed until the Township is
satisfied that the practice will not continue and the Developer /Builder agrees to carry out
remedial work requested by the Township." This provision ensures that should the
building/ applicant remove trees not in compliance with the associated site plan
agreement they will be required to rectify the situation prior to final occupancy
consideration and prior to the release of any securities.
The intent of the tree security was to ensure that sufficient monies were deposited with
the Municipality to ensure the preservation of existing trees outside the driveway and
building envelope locations identified on their site plans. The subdivision agreement
required that these securities were not be returned until the final occupancy was
achieved and certified by the Township that the existing trees outside the building
envelope and driveway location have been preserved. On the basis of the above, it is
recommended to Council that securities be established for all future Tree Preservation
Agreements at $ 5000.00 per lot for residential lots. Should an applicant wish to have
Council consider an alternate amount of security, they would be required to have a
qualified landscape arborist provide an estimate of the cost for replacement of the trees
within the site. Commercial and Industrial site plans continue to be the subject of the
provision for detailed landscape estimates and are not subject to the same $ 5000.00
tree security provisions.

Subject: On -Site Sewage System Maintenance Inspection Program
On May 18, 2011, Report DS2011 -019 was presented to Council regarding the Township wide sewage system
maintenance inspection program. The septic maintenance program will apply to all on -site sewage systems
regulated under the Ontario Building Code, and includes individual and communal sewage systems. The
program is designed to help protect the Township's natural environment and our resident's drinking water, and
therefore the program was intended to be conducted on a Township wide basis. As discussed at the meeting,
communication of the program and the inspections to be conducted would be provided to all residents prior to
the initiation of inspections (as stated in Attachment #1).
In the above noted staff report three options were identified for conducting of the required inspections for the
septic program: (1) use existing staff compliment to perform and administer the program for balance of 2011,
(2) hire staff for 6 month contract to perform inspections, or (3) contract inspections to qualified company. It
was the recommendation of staff based on the time of year and the initiation of the program that the existing
staff compliment be utilized for 2011 to initiate the inspection program.
During the 2011 budget deliberations, the budget allocation identified for the program was based on a proposal
to hire a contract staff member to perform the required inspections. The budgeted costs included salary,
vehicle and required computed equipment for a total of $ 48,804.00.At that time Council had determined that
the program should be conducted on a user -pay basis with invoicing to all residents where inspections were
conducted. Substantial staff time would be involved in implementing this for invoicing, collection and tracking
of payments and therefore an additional administration fee was required to be included on a per inspection
basis. The staff report identified that on a user -pay basis the cost to administer the program would be $ 125.00
per property.
As stated in the report, it is staff's recommendation to Council to utilize the existing staff compliment to
complete the inspection program for the balance of 2011. At year end, a report would be presented which
would analyze the costs for implementing the program in 2011 and provide recommendations to Council for the
2012 budget deliberations regarding this on -going program.
The 2011 budget allocation (Attachment #2) was prepared on the basis of proceeding with Option 2. Should
Council endorse the recommendation to proceed under Option 1 utilizing existing staff complement the salary
costs to perform the inspections and administer the program would be off -set between the Septic Re-
Inspection program and the Building Division resulting in no change in the net impact to the 2011 budget.

Township of Oro Medonte
On -site Sewage System Maintenance Inspection Program
The Building Code Act, 1992 and Building Code (Ontario Regulation 350/06) regulate the design,
construction and renovation of on -site sewage systems with a design capacity of 10,000 liters /day or
less.
The Province of Ontario's Building Code Regulation 350/06 was recently amended to establish and
govern mandatory and discretionary on -site sewage system maintenance inspection programs to be
administered in certain areas by local enforcement authorities.
These changes affect the Township of Oro Medonte as inspections are required in the municipality
under the Lake Simcoe Protection Act and the Ontario Clean Water Act. The Inspection program will
apply to all on -site sewage systems in the Township regulated by the Ontario Building Code.
All sewage systems are required to be inspected once every five years starting in 2011. The following will
be checked on each lot.
1. Type of buildings / houses, size, etc.
2. Type of system(s) on property and units served
3. Type of tank(s) ( size , location ,condition )
4. Evidence of effluent visible and /or odor
5. Evidence of erosion on any part of the system
6. Direction of surface water flow around the system
7. Setbacks and separations
8. Excessive plant growth in the bed area
9. Acquire sewage system records from the owner( If required)
10. Identify trees , structures , or driving in leaching bed or tank area
11. Obtain septic tank pump out records ( To verify tank condition )
Once this information is compiled any deficiencies will be recorded and a written report will be
provided to the property owner in order for the sewage system can be brought into compliance.
Information regarding the program, the proposed implementation and location of inspections each
year is intended to be provided to all property owners through a Township wide mail out,
newspaper advertising, and Township website postings.

Meeting Date:

Subject:
Mandatory Septic Maintenance
Inspection Program
Motion #
Roll #:
R.M.S. File #:
RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action for Information Only
It is recommended that:
1. Report DS2011 -019 be received and adopted; and
2. That the appropriate By -law be brought forward regarding the Township wide
septic maintenance re- inspection program for Council's approval.
BACKGROUND:
During budget deliberations the Development Services Department was requested to
provide a report on the Septic Maintenance program. The Township has now received
all the required guidelines from MMAH necessary to implement the program. Ontario
regulation 315/10 was amended to govern mandatory and discretionary onsite sewage
system reinspection program. Under the mandatory requirements the municipality is
legislated to inspect all onsite sewage systems that are regulated under the Lake
Simcoe Protection Act and all systems regulated under the Clean Water Act. This
regulation also allows the municipality to pass a bylaw for discretionary reinspection of
onsite systems that are not affected under Ontario Regulation 315/10. Based on the
large number of properties affected by the regulation and to be proactive in protecting
our environment it is recommended that this program be adopted Township wide.

Report No. DS2011 -019 Page 1 of 3
Page 53 of 79
10c) - Memorandum dated June 1, 2011 from ...
ANALYSIS:
The Septic Maintenance program pertains to all onsite sewage systems regulated under
the Ontario Building Code. The Township has approximately 7,200 properties that will
be affected by this program. For the purpose of administering the program we have
broken the Township into five sections. (See attached map) The inspections would start
in the most vulnerable areas by Lake Simcoe and then proceed with the less vulnerable
areas. All systems are required to be inspected once every five years. Inspections will
consist of gathering information and non - intrusive visual inspections to determine that
the septic systems are being maintained. If a system appears to be malfunctioning
further inspection may be required. Any systems found to be failing will be issued an
order to remedy an unsafe situation.
The Building Division has investigated different ways to administer the program while
trying to keep the financial impact to the Township as low as possible. The following are
the options for the septic maintenance program.
Use our existing staff compliment to perform the inspections and administer the
program.
2. Hire staff on a 6 month contract to perform inspections ( the Building Division will
oversee the program )
3. Contract the program to a qualified company to run the program. (Note at the
present time there is only one company that we are aware of offering this service.
See attached confidential proposal from CC Tatham )
After reviewing the above the Building Division recommends that Council endorse
Option 1 for this year. If our current work load increases substantially that the
Development Services Department be authorized to implement Option 2 on the basis
that funds were allocated to this year's budget to cover the costs for the operation of this
program. The Building Division will monitor the progress of the program on a yearly
basis and report back to Council with any necessary revisions.
FINANCIAL:
The regulations governing the Septic System Maintenance program allows the
Municipality to collect fees to recoup the cost of operating this program. The cost to
administer the program using optionl or 2 will be $125.00 ($75.00 per inspection
plus$50.00 administration fee) per property. Option 3 costs are detailed in CC Tathams
proposal however the $50.00 administration fee would be added to that.
The $50.00 administration fee could be eliminated if the cost of this program is added
to the general tax levy. This would reduce the financial impact to property owners and
save substantial staff time required for invoicing, tracking and collecting payments.

Subject: ARC
Mayor Hughes,
In respect to who the Township appoints for the ARC process, the MEET committee has been doing some research. After
speaking with the Ministry of Education, I was told that it is not a Ministry policy, that who the Township appoints, cannot
be a parent. That is a guideline, not a policy, that our Board has come up with.
I would like to be appointed as the Township representative. I think I should be o.k. in this position for several reasons.
In Sept, my son that currently attends Coldwater P.S., may be enrolled in Hillsdale P.S. Then I would have no
children in any of the three schools involved in the ARC.
I am a resident of Oro - Medonte, not Severn, where my son goes to school currently. Therefore, you would
be appointing someone who is representing your Township , although my son goes to school in another
Township. The ministry policy states: "One community representative who is a public school supporter from each
municipality within the accommodation review area appointed by the municipal council." I would not be
representing my son's school or the Township which his current school is in.
If need be, the Township could dispute the Board's decision to have me on the committee because, it is only their
guideline, not a policy.
I would ask that you put me as the representative, and if that needs to be changed prior to the start of the ARC, we will
deal with it then.
Thank you and sorry for the delay.

RE: Community Schools Alliance Executive Membership
Dear Municipal Colleague,
On behalf of the Community Schools Alliance Executive, I thank my municipal colleagues for the
support and encouragement that we received in response to our distribution of the letter of
agreement with the Thames Valley District School Board. I am very pleased that a number of
municipalities across Ontario have started the process of establishing similar protocols with their
local school boards to ensure that there is transparency and accountability in the student
accommodation review process.
In August of 2009, we formed the Community Schools Alliance to address a growing concern among
municipalities across the province with the Accommodation Review Committee (ARC) process. The
ARC process was developed by the province to determine which schools in a municipality stay open,
which ones get closed and where new schools will be located. As municipal leaders, we believe our
community schools are critical components of our public infrastructure; our schools are as
important to our communities as the municipal infrastructure for water, transportation and
recreation that we build and maintain.
From across the province, municipal leaders have responded to this challenge by joining the
Community Schools Alliance and by participating on our Executive Committee. As we move forward
to the next phase in the development of the Community Schools Alliance, we need additional
community leaders from all parts of the province to join us on the Executive Committee. If you
have an interest in community schools and you would like to participate on our Executive
Committee to advance the goals of the Community Schools Alliance, please contact me at your
earliest convenience.

Business arising from the minutes
5.1 Strategic Plan — e- readers
At the last Board meeting, B. Molesworth agreed to do some
research on e- readers and their place in Libraries with a view to
developing topics for a new Strategic Plan. To this end, he
distributed a written report of his findings for discussion.
Statistical data available is for North America.
The consensus was that downloadable a -books are here to stay,
so we have to continue purchasing. The people who are buying
e- readers are already traditional readers. We would run the risk
of losing them if we don't keep abreast of these kinds of
changes. The other question is should we be purchasing the
readers themselves to lend to patrons. Should we be investing in
tablets?
L. Campbell pointed out that Libraries didn't provide tape or CD
players for patrons to play talking books on. B. Molesworth
agreed that he doesn't think it's our role to provide the readers,
as any type we buy will become obsolete. We have a Sony
Reader and a Kobe at the Information Desk and Staff are helping
patrons that have questions.
J. Swick summarized by saying that the consensus is that
ebooks are an important part of our collections and will be a part
of our next Strategic Plan. B. Molesworth asked if anyone had
any suggestions about other directions for the Library to include
in the new Strategic Plan.
U. Schmid suggested the possibility of the Library supporting a
local authors group. B. Molesworth stated that we are in the
process of hiring a new part-time position whose responsibility it
will be to develop programming.

L. Campbell suggested a series of talks /workshops on wills &
estate planning. J. Swick cautioned that you have to be careful
when you bring in professionals who may be selling something.
B. Molesworth agreed, but felt we could have a series of
informative talks if we're careful about whom we use. J. Pack
commented that he would certainly attend an information session
on wills. B. Molesworth will create a list of possible Strategic Plan
subjects to be discussed at the next meeting.

Approval of the accounts — Equipment Repairs & Maintenance
A question was asked about what the expenditure for a Panic Alarm
System was. B. Molesworth explained that, historically, the Library had
had a buzzer system for Staff that worked in isolated areas of the
building. If the button was pressed, Staff on other floors would hear it
and respond. This system needed to be replaced after the construction.
The security cameras don't cover the whole building. A policy for its use
is being written, but Police will be called if it is pushed. B. Molesworth
went on to say that we are also being guided by Bill 168. J. Pack asked
if it is being monitored by Huronia Alarms. The answer was no.
Moved by: B. Desroches
Seconded by: J. Pack
That the accounts for the month of March 2011 totalling $15,847.62 be
approved.

Reports of Board Committees
7.1 Finance Committee
B. Molesworth distributed the Library's Financial Statement as at
March 31, 2011. He went through some of the lines that he felt
needed clarification. J. Pack asked if the leak in the roof had
been fixed. B. Molesworth responded that it has not, but that
roofing people are scheduled to come, in about a week and a
half, to fix what they think the problem is.
J. Swick asked if the cost for the repair will be coming out of our
Capital budget. B. Molesworth stated that the Contractor,

Monteith, should be paying but we aren't sure yet. B. Desroches
asked if the Panic Alarm System should have come out of
Capital. B. Molesworth explained that we really don't have any
money to spend in the Capital budget. The Town Treasurer has
also encouraged Department Heads to assign expenditures to
the budget line that is most appropriate even if there isn't enough
money left in that line to cover it.
7.2 Fundraising Committee
No Committee, as yet, so no report.
7.3 Building Committee
B. Molesworth explained that he left the Committee reports as
Agenda items until the Board decided which Committees would
stand. J. Swick suggested that the Board look at the Committees
that have been. He suggested that the Building Committee might
be struck from the list. B. Molesworth will list the Committees and
then have the Board agree which ones we need.
7.4 Report from Friends of the Midland Public Library
B. Molesworth reported that the Friends are working hard to
expand their numbers. They will be sponsoring the receptions for
the 3 author readings in April. They are also considering funding
the purchase of new computers for the Children's Department.

8.1 Council Committees Review
B. Molesworth referred to three documents that were sent out
to the Board outlining a review by Council of the Committees on
which they sit. G. Canning, the Board's Council representative,
stated that there are currently 37 Committees that Councillors
sit on. The Mayor and Council agreed that this means a very
heavy work load and therefore questioned whether it was
necessary for all Committees to have Council representation.
So, they decided to carry out a review and ask the Committees
if they thought it was necessary or useful. The questions put to

the Library Board by G. Canning were, would it be better for the
Board to function independently and report to Council a few
times a year, and does it help to have Council representation or
is it a hindrance. J. Swick asked, isn't it legislated?
B. Molesworth said it isn't clear. The Public Libraries Act states
that members of Council cannot make up more than half of a
Library Board's total number, which would make you think there
is at least one appointee. Another question was, if you remove
a Councillor, should you then have another member from the
public. G. Canning also asked what role the Board wants a
Councillor to play. He suggested that Councillors' egos can
have an effect on the mood and decisions made in the room.
The Mayor has suggested that Councillors should take an
observer role. Maybe they shouldn't be a voting member.
B. Gorski commented that the Council representative should
not be Chairman.
A thorough discussion ensued.
The consensus, which was agreed to by a show of hands, was
that the Board wants to continue to have a Council
representative and that they should be an active voting
member, but not hold any Executive position.
8.2 Accessibility Training for new Board members —
May 4 @ 6:30 p.m. or May 9 @ 11:00 a.m.
B. Molesworth explained that a stipulation of the Accessibility
for Ontarians with Disabilities Act., 2005 is that all Staff and
Boards of government agencies have to undergo training for
the first standard of the Act, which is Customer Service.
There will be two training sessions for new Staff and Board
members. The first will be Wednesday, May 4, 2011 at 6:30
p.m. and the second will be Monday, May 9, 2011 at
11:00 a.m., held here in the Assembly Room.
B. Molesworth asked Board members to let him know which
one they are able to attend and he will let S. Beatty know.

9.2 Knowledge Ontario
B. Molesworth explained a little about Knowledge Ontario. They
were a provincially funded organization that provided
databases and other electronic services to Libraries in Ontario.
The Province had stipulated, from their inception, that they
should become self sustaining. They did not and the Province
withdrew their funding and in turn gave $2,000,000.00 to the
Southern Ontario Library Service (SOLS) for the purchase of
databases for Public Libraries. Knowledge Ontario will be
approaching Libraries for money to support them. We don't
know if SOLS will continue to receive the funding for databases
going forward. B. Molesworth will keep the Board informed.
Business After 5
B. Molesworth informed the Board that the Library is hosting a
Chamber of Commerce gathering called Business After 5. It will be in
the Assembly Room on Wednesday May 11, 2011 at 5:00 p.m. He is
hoping for a good turnout and invited any Board members that can
come to attend. It's an opportunity for the Board to meet members of
the Chamber and promote the Library.
L. Campbell asked B. Molesworth about the student art exhibit that will
be here. He explained that it is an experiment. The works will be in the
Assembly Room. The students were asked where they wanted it to be
and they all wanted it to be at the Library. It will be at the end of June.

At its meeting on April 27, 2011 the Council of the Township of Oro - Medonte adopted the following
motion with respect to the above -noted matter:
"Be it resolved
WHEREAS the Green Energy Act to facilitate the installation of Solar Generation Facility Projects has

Dear Jerry,
I would like to express my appreciation to you for assisting with organizing and
implementing this year's Tree Seedling Distribution Program.
This was the second year the program has been offered in the Township of Oro -
Medonte. The initiative was a successful partnership between SSEA, North
Simcoe Stewardship, the Townships of Tay, Tiny, and Springwater, and the
Towns of Midland and Penetanguishene. The goal of the program was to
promote tree planting by offering reasonably - priced, native tree seedlings to
residents of the municipalities. The program was quite successful; response to
the project was good, and we distributed more than 7,000 trees and shrubs of ten
species in the five municipalities. Many of the participants purchased trees in the
past and expressed their appreciation for the continuation of the program in
2011.
We will be preparing a final report on the project shortly, and we will send a copy
to the Township when it is complete.
Thank you again for your invaluable assistance in implementing this program.
Sincerely,
i I m4l� �_

RE: Minimum Maintenance Standards Litigation — Status Report
Background
Last year all heads of Council received a letter advising that a legal challenge had been
filed to have the Minimum Maintenance Standards (MMS) declared null and void. The
letter requested municipalities consider contributing to a Litigation Fund to fight the
application. I am pleased to report that many municipalities have contributed to the fund
and we are proceeding with our opposition to this application. If your municipality is still
considering the request please let me know at your earliest convenience as to whether
funds will be forthcoming.
This memo is intended to keep all municipalities informed as to the progress to date on
this important matter.
Discussion
OGRA has retained J. Murray Davison, Q.C. of the law firm, Paterson, MacDougall, LLP
as our legal counsel to represent your interests. Mr. Davison is very knowledgeable in
the area of Minimum Maintenance Standards having volunteered his time and expertise
in the development of the initial standards and the 5 year review that was recently
undertaken.
Our counsel filed an application with the courts to grant OGRA intervenor status. The
opposing counsel did not object to this application and the court issued an order adding
OGRA as intervenor on October 8, 2010.
A MMS Litigation steering committee made up of representatives from the Ontario Good
Roads Association; the Ontario Municipal Insurance Exchange (OMEX); the Regional
Municipality of York; the Province of Ontario; the Waterloo Region Municipalities
Insurance Pool and Frank Cowan Company Limited met on May 25, 2011 and received
an update from our legal team.
The plaintiff's Counsel has filed a motion for the production of all documents associated
with the creation of the original Minimum Maintenance Standards.
Page 75 of 79
12e) - Correspondence dated May 26, 2011 f...
Our litigation team is supporting two motions filed by the Crown. The first being to limit
the scope of the hearing to the standards that were in effect at the time of the accident
that precipitated this action. The second motion is to transfer the hearing from the
Superior Court to the Divisional Court. In the Superior Court only one judge presides,
while at Divisional Court three judges preside. Our legal team feels that this move
would be advantageous to our position.
All the above referenced motions are currently scheduled to be heard on June 13 2011.
A further update will be issued subsequent to that hearing.
We previously advised that the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association was going to seek
intervenor status. They have not done so to -date however we anticipate that they will
do so later.
At this time there is a possibility that the application will be heard in the fall of this year,
however the prevailing opinion suggests that it might not be heard until spring of 2012.
Further updates will be issued as the matter progresses.
