Good Afternoon Warden, Deputy Warden and Councilors of Simcoe County, I wanted to contact you all with regards to County Council October 13th, where there will be discussion regarding cost submissions against AWARE Simcoe for the "Beeton Woods" efforts made through the courts. I would hope that you would not be in support of something like this. I do believe at the April 14th hearing at Simcoe County it was mentioned by staff, (Graham Davies I believe) that the County ķźķ over look the notification process set out in by-law 5635, which in all fairness contributed to where we are today. I believe it is enough that it was the residents tax money going into arguing against the residents. So please I ask you when is enough enough? I ask that you speak out against this and see the whole picture, stand for your residents not against. Thank-you for your time and consideration. Please feel free to contact me at any time to discuss further. Sincerely, Stephanie MacLellan Page 173 of 252 11.a) Councillor Crawford, re: Report No. CO 15-020 and minu...

It confirms the council attendance at the April 14th hearing and the May 12th deliberation. You will notice that Councillors B. Milne and Dubeau were not present at the April 14th hearing, yet were present at the May 12th deliberation to vote on the outcome of the hearing. Taking that into consideration as well as the of the special permit (By-Law 5635), as well as The Town of New Tecumseth failing to recognize an open planning application by Tecumseth Estates and you have reason for concern as a citizen of Beeton. If you found it unreasonable of AWARE Simcoe and residents of Beeton to ask questions and demand more out of our elected officials when dealing with issues that are close to the heart of the community, then you should vote to seek reimbursement for legal costs from AWARE. and well being of its appropriate and necessary. I sincerely hope that in the future the County of Simcoe can work closely together with its citizens on matters that are so important, rather than fighting against each other.

Schedule 5County Officers CO 15-020Page 1 Court File No. 15-0922 DC ONTARIO DIVISIONAL COURT BETWEEN: AWARE SIMCOE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SOLUTIONS INC. Applicant and CORPORATION OF THE COUNTY OF SIMCOE and TECUMSETH ESTATES INC. Respondents APPLICATION UNDER the Judicial Review Procedure Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.J.1 and Rule 68 of the Rules of Civil Procedure, RRO 1990, Reg. 194 COSTS SUBMISSIONS OF THE COUNTY OF SIMCOE 1.The County of Simcoe is a respondent to a judicial review application brought by the Applicant Aware Simcoe Environmental and Social Solutions Inc 2.Aware brought a motion for an interim injunction to restrain the Co-Respondent Tecumseth Estates Inc. (the Company) from acting on a tree removal permit granted to it by the County to clear certain of its property for agricultural purposes. The County and the Company opposed the interim injunction application and the motion was dismissed. 3.Her Honour Justice Eberhard gave detailed reasons for the dismissal of the motion, including the background to the County granting its original permit. She covered the County having inadvertently omitting notice to abutting property owners, the placing of the subsequent stop work order, the very complete hearing that was then granted, and the procedural errors made by the County in holding the hearing and deliberating on its 1 Page 184 of 252 11.a) Councillor Crawford, re: Report No. CO 15-020 and minu... Schedule 5County Officers CO 15-020Page 2 decision. She found that the process, though flawed, did not meet the tests for an interim injunction in all of the circumstances. 4.In our respectful submission, there is nothing in the nature, process or result of this case that would merit the Court deviating from the normal rule that costs follow the results judicial review, and the even thinner basis for an interim injunction should lead to 5.The nature of the injunction action involved three separate legal issues to be canvassed: a.Is there a serious question to be tried? b.Would the litigant who seeks the interlocutory injunction suffer irreparable harm if it is not granted? c.Which party would suffer the greater harm from the granting or refusal of the interlocutory order? 6.In particular, the first issue required the canvassing of a wide spectrum of issues, including public vs. private rights, elements of natural justice and certain aspects of 3 statutory references to be researched, and then reviewed with the Court. 7.The County, as a public body is most sensitive to, and in most cases appreciative of, the input of public interest groups into its legislative and administrative processes. That is the very reason that when it was discovered that part of the process under its Forestry Bylaw had been inadvertently overlooked, that it determined, in this situation to go was required. 8.In fact, the AWARE group should be cognizant of the attempts by the County to be transparent in its various processes. When the AWARE group complained publicly that the County had not been open enough in the process of adopting a new Official Plan for the County (even though the OMB found no flaw in the process) the County held an expansive, and expensive public open house to answer the questions of AWARE and others. 2 Page 185 of 252 11.a) Councillor Crawford, re: Report No. CO 15-020 and minu... Schedule 5County Officers CO 15-020Page 3 9.To be considered as well, is who has the primary responsibility for representing the public interest. County Council is made up of the mayors and deputy mayors of its 16 constituent municipalities. This means that residents of those local municipalities have both a direct influence on County decisions at the level of their local politicians, and a second level of input at the County Council table itself. With these two layers of input, the County Council is very well positioned to represent residents and taxpayers. Much 10.In our respectful submission, it was unfair and in fact inappropriate for this group to challenge the County in this situation based on irregularities that it knew or should have known had no discernible effect on the outcome. Simple mathematics was the answer to one of the complaints, being that of the vote by two councillors who did not attend part one of the hearing. With respect to the other complaint not being allowed a - it seems disingenuous at best for AWARE to have complained about not being able to repeat its hearing position, when the Mr. Rowe unable to answer questions he was learning of for the first time at the hearing. 11.One has to keep in mind, of course, that the County is the steward of public monies. While of course it must defend an action when brought against it, it also has an obligation to recover the taxpayer dollars spent on an action that a Court has found was ill-conceived. 12.We have provided a bill of costs divided into three columns. We have shown the actual fees and disbursements charged to the County. It should be noted that we provide the County a rate that is discounted roughly by 1/3 from our standard client rates. We have then shown what would be substantial indemnity rate at 85% and partial indemnity at amount, of costs in this situation. All of which is respectfully submitted this 5 th day of October, 2015. 3 Page 186 of 252 11.a) Councillor Crawford, re: Report No. CO 15-020 and minu...

The only reason there was a judicial review in the first place was because the Town and County did not follow due process. The Town of New Tecumseth's incompetence (not noticing or not disclosing the open development application by the applicants) is the reason that these trees will be cut down. It's extremely discouraging to average working people like me that some politicians don't have the common decency to take responsibility and admit when they've made a mistake. If you have any inclination towards environmentalism, you will use your common sense amidst all of these political games and realize that these woods should remain standing. It is not just a precious mature woodlot, but it is ENVIRONMENTALLY PROTECTED land and should have been recognized as such at a very early stage in this game. What is that designation good for if it is ignored at every corner? It's not just highly disappointing, but it's frustrating, disempowering, and totally disrespectful to many people. Please re-consider and at least pay your own fees incurred because of mistakes that TNT made in the first place. Be a true leader and stand up for the people and the planet on this one.
