CARRIED b)Wildlife Safe Passage Program Integrated Watershed Management Specialist, Kaitlyn Read, provided the Board with her presentation on the Wildlife Safe Passage Project, a project geared at reducing the road mortality rate for migrating turtles, as well as other herptiles. The project began with monitoring of various locations for one year, the results of which saw 7.4 animals killed per week during spring and fall. By installing simple retrofit ecopassages (fencing) between wetland and upland habitat where turtles are likely to migrate, the post- installation monitoring showed a significant decline of over 90% in turtle deaths. Going forward, staff hopes to continue monitoring and encourage changes to municipal policy requiring ecopassages be installed where new roads pass through wildlife hotspots. Educating the public on the importance of road ecology, creating a guidance manual for ecopassage implementation in the Lake Simcoe watershed, as well as municipal Lunch and Learns are also some of the initiatives staff are working to achieve.

In response to Mayor Quirk's request for an update, CAO Walters advised that at the November 2016 Board of Directors' meeting, Deputy Mayor ODonnell stated that the Township of Ramara did not feel it was getting value for its money from LSRCA. On December 12, 2016, CAO Walters, along with Chair Dawe Page 140 of 180 14.h) Minutes of Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority m... Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority Board of Directors Meeting BOD-11-16 December 16, 2016 Minutes Page 6 of 8 and General Manager, Planning & Development, Rob Baldwin, made a presentation to Ramara Council regarding the services provided by LSRCA, which detailed their return on investment. This presentation is available through the following link: LSRCA Presentation to Ramara Township - December 12, 2016. Many questions were asked throughout the presentation; however, LSRCA has learned that after the presentation, Ramara Council held a Closed Session meeting, after which a motion was passed to advise LSRCA that the Township of Ramara is no longer a member municipality effective January 1, 2017. Upon receiving this notification, CAO Walters contacted the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry to better understand the steps a member must take to exit LSRCA. As noted in the staff report, Section 13.1 of the Conservation Authorities Act outlines the very onerous process that must be followed by a member wishing to leave the conservation authority, which includes dissolution of the entire conservation authority. CAO Walters advised that until the Township of Ramara completes the process to exit as outlined in Section 13.1 of the Conservation Authorities Act, LSRCA will continue to consider the Township of Ramara a member municipality. Deputy Mayor ODonnell explained that discussion within the Township of Ramara began a couple of months previous with their disappointment in hearing of the increase in Planning & Development fees. It was his hope that it would open up communications between LSRCA and the Township of Ramara, but instead Council voted to leave the conservation authority. Board members expressed great concern over Ramara's desire to leave LSRCA, as most are well aware of the great work of the Authority within each of the municipalities, as well as the access to all the different areas of expertise among LSRCA staff that is available to all members. After much discussion, Board members requested that the recommendation in the staff report be amended so that LSRCA circulate the staff report to the Township of Ramara only, and not to all member municipalities, Conservation Ontario, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Climate Change. This amendment was to provide the Township of Ramara an opportunity to research and discuss its options as per Section 13.1 of the Conservation Authorities Act. The Board also directed the CAO to provide an update at the Board of Directors' meeting in February 2017. Moved by: M. Quirk Seconded by: D. Kerwin BOD-159-16 RESOLVED THAT WHEREAS the Township of Ramara, through correspondence dated December 13, 2016, has advised that it is no longer a member municipality of the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority effective January 1, 2017; AND WHEREAS there is no provision under the Conservation Authorities Act R.S.O, 1990, c. C.27 for an individual member municipality to leave the Conservation Authority; AND WHEREAS should a member municipality wish to leave a Conservation Authority, it must follow provisions set out in Section 13.1 (1-7) of the Conservation Authorities Act, which in effect requires the dissolution of the Conservation Authority; Page 141 of 180 14.h) Minutes of Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority m...

Applications are now being accepted for the program and the current intake will conclude on March 31, 2017. As we have heard from our municipal partners, the RED program helps remove barriers to economic development for communities in rural Ontario. This program is designed to help rural communities become better positioned to attract investment, retain and create jobs, and sustain a highly skilled workforce. The renewed RED program is part of a range of initiatives that address infrastructure, health care, education and other issues of importance to rural Ontario residents. The Ontario government supports rural communities by delivering on its commitment to create jobs, make economic growth more inclusive and ensure Ontario's growing economy delivers real benefits in the lives of workers and families. Applications are welcome from rural communities, Indigenous communities and organizations, regions and not-for-profit organizations. While partnerships are not required, we are encouraging collaborative approaches to create more competitive and diverse rural and regional economies across the province. For more information visit ontario.ca/REDprogram or contact the Agricultural Information Contact Centre (1-877-424-1300). /2 Ministry Headquarters: 1 Stone Road West, Guelph, Ontario N1G 4Y2 Bureau principal du ministère: 1 Stone Road West, Guelph (Ontario) N1G 4Y2 Page 169 of 180 15.a) Correspondence dated January 30, 2017 from Jeff Leal, ...
