1. Adoption of Agenda
Keith Sherman noted that he had three additional items to add for Other Business; Site
41, Lake Superior article and FCM Guide for Municipalities.
MOTION: Moved by Bob Coryell, seconded by Tom Elliott, to adopt the agenda as
presented. CARRIED.
~
2. Review of Minutes and Past Business
Keith Sherman briefly updated members on items ITom the April 25th meeting:
,
· As per the Renewal Subcommittee -letters requesting deputations and draft
resolutions were sent to each municipality. These letters summarize our
request for a 5 year commitment. Tay Township passed their resolution on
June 18th with provisions that a Business Plan be provided and subject to
budget approval. We either have dates for other deputations or have been
informed that only a letter is required ITom some municipalities. Keith
Sherman gave a deputation to the Town ofPenetanguishene last Wednesday.
· City of OriIlia - Mayor Stevens has asked for a letter requesting their
participation this letter is in preparation.
· A deputation for Oro-Medonte could only be arranged on September 10th
which would require a decision being made almost immediately. The draft
resolution already provided to the municipality may help expedite the process.
· Additional partnership issues - Arrangement of a teleconference between
Laurie Schutt, Keith Sherman, Danny Epstein and Simon Llewellyn has yet to
be arranged due to scheduling issues with the two EC Directors.
· Environment Canada's support for SSEA is solid (verbal) but there is nothing
in writing yet.
· Keith Sherman spoke to Garfield Dunlop's office to inquire who we would
approach about getting the Province back at the table. To date, we have in-
kind support ITom a number of Provincial agencies - but no cash yet. MOE
and MNR are excellent project partners.
· Keith Sherman made a presentation to the Rotary Club of Midland recently
and requested a small funding donation toward our website - asked for $500
per year for 5 years. We are awaiting their decision.
· Keith Sherman also acknowledged the incredible support that we have
received ITom Compusolve for all of our online needs.
· Re: Planning Agreement with County of Simcoe - this is still under discussion
· Planning issues within the boundaries of our municipal partners - smaller
ones are done as a courtesy and part of our partnership - larger ones are
charged back.
MOTION: Moved by Bill Thompson, seconded by Paul Maurice, to adopt the April 25,
2003 minutes as presented. CARRIED.

3. Second Quarterly Report for 2003
Approval of Report
Revenues:
. The amount of$8,750 has been invoiced to Environment Canada
. Recoveries - cheques arrived just after the report was completed - they will be
included in the next quarterly report.
Expenditures:
. The undistributed amount is not accurate Keith Sherman's salary has not been
distributed to individual projects and other accounts yet.
. Databases - there is more time being spent on the databases and some of the
amount hasn't been distributed to individual projects.
MOTION: Moved by Mike Mayotte, seconded by Bob Coryell, to approve the 2nd
Quarter Report as presented. CARRIED.
Approval of Cheque Register
Bill Thompson noted that consultants, Dixon Hydrogeology, are issued large cheques for
their services for the Groundwater Study and added that the SSEA has been doing a
service for member municipalities and the MOE by acting as administrators of this
project with no funds allocated to the SSEA for the work being done by this office. Bill
Thompson would like the Province/MOE to be made aware of how much work is being
done for "free" by the SSEA. Tom Elliott agreed, stating that MOE is getting a "very
good deal".
Keith Sherman stated that a significant amount of his time, over the past year, has been
spent on this project however, there are 31 Groundwater Studies going on in the province
and all of the lead organizations are in the same situation. The agreement clearly stated
that someone outside the organization could be hired to work specifically on the Study,
which we did, but the lead organization cannot bill for their time.
Rob Coulas asked if we could make the province aware ofthe amount oftime that was
spent on the project and could not be billed. Keith Sherman stated that he is anticipating a
"Stage 2" type of project with the Groundwater Study and noted that reimbursement
requests will be included in the approach to maintain a long-term ground water
monitoring strategy and plan.
ACTION ITEM: Keith Sherman will tally up his time spent on the Groundwater Study,
summarize and report the results to the SSEA members.
I
~
Ralph Hough suggested that a letter be drafted, stating the costs and expenses incurred by
the SSEA for this project, and that these costs should be taken into consideration be
allowable expenses - now and in the future. Members gave unanimous support and
3
\ OCi\ -4
agreed in principle to a letter drafted by Keith Sherman to MaE, requesting
reimbursement for administrative expensed for the current Groundwater Study and any
future projects.
ACTION ITEM: Keith Sherman will draft a letter to MaE outlining the cost to SSEA for
administration of the Groundwater Study and request that those costs be allowable
expenses in any future agreements.
Bob Coryell questioned one item in the Cheque Register; the invoice payable to Classic
Party Services ftom the Annual Partner's Reception was allocated to the Fish
Communities account. He asked if it was paid out of the wrong account or if it was an
accounting error.
ACTION ITEM: Keith Sherman will examine and clarifY what account should be used
for this expense.
MOTION: Moved by Bob Coryel~ seconded by Tom Elliott, to approve the Cheque
Register as presented, subject to clarification of the ledger account used for Classic Party
Services. CARRlED.
Forecast of Revenues
Keith Sherman briefly updated members on a few projects:
An agreement has been signed with the Wye Marsh to deal with the Elcan funds. The
Recoveries show the direct funds payable to SSEA to support the work that we are doing
for the project. The contract has been extended to December 2003 at which time we will
have executed the court order.
There are proposals into MaE, that fall under the COA agreement, for sediment surveys.
There are a number of ongoing and future projects that fall under $7,500 - CALDECH is
a local ftancophone organization and we reviewed one of their sites for environmental
quality.
MOTION: Moved by Paul Maurice, seconded by Bill Thompson, to approve the Forecast
of Revenues as presented. CARRlED.
Second Quarter Activity Summary
J
The quarterly activity summary was distributed to members, outlining the ongoing
programs and projects of the SSEA office. As well as the regular monitoring programs a
number of additional activities were highlighted such as a presentation to IAGLR by
Keith Sherman in Chicago, an Economic Study with Environment Canada that outlines
the economic benefits of stewardship projects in Severn Sound, membership in a new
4
\Oc\- 1
networking group called Eco-Health Simcoe, and DFO consultations and reviews on
various projects/sites.
Tom Elliot inquired about our ongoing involvement in the Orr Lake e1k farm. Keith
Sherman noted that MOE and OMAF are involved and a report should be forthcoming.
As well as sampling, the SSEA has been working with the landowner. Based on the
number of livestock units (calculated by OMAF), the density is low enough that they
aren't required to have a nutrient management plan but the regulations aren't out yet
there are no set guidelines. The lay of the land aggravates the situation. Contamination
was leaving the site, historical land use has changed so there is problems with drainage
and so actions that could stop the flow off-site were discussed with the landowner.
The Activity Summary was received as information.
4. SSEA Renewal and Business Plan
A copy of a draft resolution for Councils and a copy of a municipal portion summary
(with Orillia included and without) were distributed to members. Keith Sherman noted
that members must look at the possibility of increasing the municipal portion to $100,000
from $80,000. The original amount of $80,000 has held since 1997 but our costs have
increased over the years. There will be a new budget drafted and each item on the budget
will be adjusted to reflect a more accurate cost/ budget amount.
Members were concerned with an immediate $20,000 jump for municipalities. Keith
Sherman acknowledged their concerns and asked to reconvene the Renewal
Subcommittee to provide a 5 year picture of the budget and Business Plan. Ralph Hough
agreed to reconvene the subcommittee and a date for that meeting will be set today after
the Quarterly meeting.
Keith Sherman has set up a round of deputations to Councils, presenting the concept of a
5 year renewaL
Ian Orchard will pursue a long-term commitment from Environment Canada - in writing.
He noted that the Sustainability Plan is a long, long term plan and EC will also pursue
other funding partners.
Mark Taylor noted that in the second paragraph of the draft resolution for Councils it
states that "eight" municipalities and inquired if that number is fixed. Keith Sherman
stated that we are currently dealing with municipalities within the watershed but added
that the new Business Plan should reflect that we will venture outside the watershed
because our base of expertise can be expanded to those not under a Conservation
Authority or those that require our specialized services. Ralph Hough agreed that the
second paragraph could be changed to remove the number reference.
!
\

l D~ - \J;
Ian Orchard added that the Sustainability Plan needs to be part of the new Business Plan.
He noted that we are at the forerront of Sustainable Communities and parts of Severn
Sound fall into FedNor boundaries. The levels of support rrom EC will continue, evolve
and new partners will be found.
Keith Sherman stated that he has been talking to other organizations about their long term
plans such as the Couchiching Conservancy. Their plan is very strategic. Keith Sherman
suggested that members consider an outside facilitator to help with our Business Plan.
Ralph Hough noted that we have until April to complete the Business Plan so the timing
is right for a facilitator. Ralph Hough asked members to forward the names of potential
facilitators to Keith Sherman.
5. Other Business
RAP Tabloid - The SSEA office has been working on a tabloid that explains the RAP
process, the current role of the SSEA and thanks a list of over 1,300 individuals and
businesses who contributed to the RAP rrom 1987 to the end of2002. This tabloid will be
distributed in the Midland Mirror and Orillia Today and extra copies will be made
available.
Site 41 Review The SSEA was asked by the Township of Tiny to review surface water
quality around Site 41. Documents were reviewed, including information on the
McDonald Creek sub-watershed of the Wye River. The SSEA review listed surface water
contamination concerns and what the county could do to mitigate those concerns. There
have been two other reviews 1) MOE has conducted a peer review, reviewing the
operation and development of the site and 2) the community monitoring committee has
also done a peer review. Tom Elliott noted that there is still a lot of public concern. Paul
Maurice added that a list of over 200 outstanding issues has been sent to the County to
date. Keith Sherman stated that everyone is waiting for the County to respond to all of
the information rrom the reviews.
I
The SSEA review stated that with the design concept, it needs to be situated on a clay
plain and requests that surface water monitoring for flow and quality should start now
and continue long-term. Rob Coulas expressed concerns for surface water contaminants,
storm water and leachate - he noted that there will be a pulse - and inquired if there are
current E. coli counts on file. Keith Sherman stated that we have background information
that precedes our rural water quality improvement projects in the area but a measurable
influence needs to be found and there are gaps in the information that need to be filled.
Rob Coulas noted that the Public Advisory Committee has discussed Site 41 and
members inquired if it could be operated as a more modern facility, with options such as
separation of organic matter. PAC members agreed that the public needs to be more
aware of where we put the waste and how we handle it.
.,
Ian Orchard added that this is a sustainability issue that could be addressed through the
sustainability plan.
6
\()~ -l
Tom Elliott inquired about incinerators. Ian Orchard noted that there is new technology in
waste but laws and/or lack of laws in Ontario have deterred any advances - however, the
use of new technology has increased in other countries such as the Netherlands.
Environment Canada is working with the Netherlands which has alternate methods in
use.
History of Lake Superior Regulations article - This article, found in the Journal of Great
Lakes, deals with water levels. It concludes that Lake Superior is at the level it is because
the power generation companies and Sault Ste Marie wants it there. There is talk on both
sides of the border of making the drain bigger which will decrease water levels across the
board. These talks and how everything is handled will affect Severn Sound.
Federation of Canadian Municipalities Guide for Municipal Governments - Severn
Sound has been included in this guide as one of the case studies.
6. Next Meeting and Adjournment
The next meeting is scheduled for Friday, October 24, 2003.
The Renewal Subcommittee will meet at the Town of Midland, Board Room B at lOam
on Friday, August 22,2003. (please note: meeting has been rescheduled to Friday,
September 12, 2003 at lOam in Board Room B, Town of Midland).
MOTION: Moved by Tom Elliott, seconded by Mark Taylor, to adjourn the meeting.

1. Adoption of Agenda
There are two additions to the agenda, the County of Simcoe Planning Agreement and the
Severn Sound website.
MOTION: Moved by Paul Maurice, seconded by Mark Taylor, to adopt the agenda as
presented. CARRIED.
2. Review of Minutes and Past Business
Review of Minutes
Re: ACTION ITEM: Keith Sherman will tally up his time spent on the
Groundwater Study, summarize and report the results to the SSEAmembers. (2nd
Quarterly Meeting July 25,2003) Keith is still spending time on this project.
MOE intends on summarizing the findings when the project is completed and he
will report back to SSEA members at the next meeting.
Re: Reception invoice allocation - it was miscoded and has been corrected.
Bill Thompson noted that the past meeting minutes were only presented to
members now and expressed his disapproval. Keith Sherman apologized and
assured members that they would have the minutes out at least 2 weeks before the
next meeting.
MOTION: Moved by Bill Thompson, seconded by Bob Coryell, to adopt the July 25,
2003 minutes as presented. CARRIED.
Past Business
The SSRAP newspaper insert was completed and distributed through the Midland
Mirror and Orillia Today on Labour Day weekend. Copies will be sent to each
municipality.
~
Members inquired about Site 41 and ifthere were any updates from the County.
Keith Sherman noted that the County has received all available reports and
reviews but there hasn't been a formal response from them yet. MOE has not
released a C of A. Paul Maurice added that the County must meet approximately
172 action items. Tom Elliott stated that the Township ofSpringwater received a
letter from Garfield Dunlop, asking them for comments on Site 41.
There was a brief discussion about landfills, incineration and waste diversion.
Ralph Hough noted that landfills are always met with "Not in My Backyard"
arguments in any municipality. Bill Thompson is in favour of an incineration
\0 v... -- \~~

program noting that some European countries rely heavily on incineration. He
also added that we should look at other alternative methods. Keith Sherman
stated that with incineration there is a residue and those ashes have to be put into a
special landfill site. He added that Ian Orchard :from Environment Canada is
currently in the Netherlands exploring other waste systems. Paul Maurice is in
favour of a high diversion recycling system. Tom Elliott is concerned about the
Elmvale water supply and how Site 41 will affect aquifers. Keith Sherman noted
that on two occasions Dixon Hydrogeology has stated that Site 41 will not impact
the Elmvale water supply because the aquifer flows in the opposite direction.
3. Third Quarterly Report for 2003
Approval of Report
Revenues:
During the third quarter, the SSEA has invoiced or collected $104,958.
Projects: Many ofthe project invoices have just gone out.
Recoveries: Keith Sherman has met with the Town of Midland Treasurer and worked out
a procedure to account for recoverables. Some recoverables have not been brought
forward - this current statement is not complete.
Ralph inquired if we will meet year end revenue projections. Keith anticipates that we
should meet the revenues budget including CommunitylPrivate funds :from organizations
such as CALDECH, Rotary Club of Midland, Huronia Communities Foundation and the
sale of publications. Ralph Hough suggested that publication sales be allocated to
another account.
Expenditures:
We are expecting some funding :from the province to offset the costs of sampling and
open water monitoring.
There is currently a deficit of$38,448 that will turn around when recoveries are allocated
properly and funding arrives.
Tom Elliott inquired about the flow stations expense. Keith Sherman noted that three
stations will be listed on the invoice when it arrives but he is unsure of what future
funding will be available :from provincial and federal government agencies.
MOTION: Moved by Bob Coryell, seconded by Mark Taylor, to approve the 3rd Quarter
Report as presented. CARRIED.

Approval of Cheque Register
(OG- -J(j
Mark Taylor inquired about Page Graphics and Economika invoices - Keith explained
that Page Graphics was one of the contractors for the ElcanlWye Marsh/SSEA project.
The SSEA has now completed 95% of our share of the work for that project. Economika
is a contractor for an economic study with the Great Lakes Sustainability Fund that is
outside the SSEA budget. The time we spent will go into recoveries and 10% of that
project goes into our projects as administration.
Bill Thompson asked why $20,000 from the sampling budget has gone to reimbursement
payments for the Wye Marsh. Keith Sherman explained that the amount is a compilation
of invoices for certain projects which the money goes to the SSEA but is paid through the
Wye Marsh.
Invoices for aerial photographs are for two projects: Wye Marsh and Tiny Beaches.
MOTION: Moved by Paul Maurice, seconded by Bob Coryell, to approve the Cheque
Register as presented. CARRIED.
Forecast of Revenues
Keith Sherman added that he has a verbal agreement with MOE/COA for beach and open
water monitoring but noted that these funds won't be confirmed until we have a written
agreement.
There are also two additional projects that are not listed in the forecast: 1) Sustainability
Plan and Toxics Inventory- agreements were signed today and; Habitat Restoration
Project with DFO for wetland restoration. Keith Sherman noted that we need to look at a
strategy for protecting fragile lands, wetlands and old forests in the 5 year Business Plan.
Keith Sherman anticipates that we will exceed target amounts on projects and recoveries
by the year end and noted that we have committed projects for $1.5 million.
The Forecast of Revenues was received as information.
3rd Quarter Activity Summary
The Activity Summary was received as information.
,
4.
SSEA Renewal and Business Plan
Current provincial and municipal elections were discussed.
4
Ralph Hough noted that there will be a period of uncertainty within municipal
governments and suggested that formal presentations to new Councils regarding the
renewal should wait however, SSEA staff should continue with a strategy to get the
province back to the table.
Keith Sherman stated that he has initiated and set up a meeting with Paul DeVillers in
November to discuss renewal issues. He is also sending letters to Simon Llewellyn and
Danny Epstein regarding base funding from Environment Canada for the next 5 years.
The RAP process still has responsibilities to follow up for which base funding is needed.
Keith Sherman noted that we have resolutions from all municipalities and we are now
developing a Business Plan. Keith has been asked to send a letter to the City of Orillia
regarding their possible inclusion for the next renewal. Based on current data, their
assessment would be approximately $5,000. We are already working on a number of
projects with the city including the Silver Creek flow stations, stonnwater management,
Municipal Groundwater Study and Lake Couchiching monitoring and found 2/3 of the
funding for those projects. The letter to the City of Orillia will be circulated to members.
The proposed budget for the 5 year plan calls for municipal funding of$90,000 for next
year and then would grow over the 5 years to account for increasing costs. Keith
Shennan will send the confirmed amounts to everyone for their budgets.
Notes from the Renewal Subcommittee were distributed to members. It was noted that
the SSEA will be dealing with some new issues involved with the Sustainability Plan
such as waste diversion, toxics such as pesticides and mercury as well as green energy.
For the most part, the SSEA will be acting as a local public information service -
providing fact sheets for the community though our own research and Environment
Canada publications.
The SSEA is also in the process of planning Sustainable Community workshops, with
invited stakeholders getting involved in identifying a community vision and examining
environment priorities for Severn Sound. It was decided among members that due to
municipal elections, the workshop should wait until January, or later.
Notes from the Renewal Subcommittee were received as infonnation.
5. Other Business
Oro-Medonte Resolution
The Oro-Medonte resolution has a stipulation that the NVCA and the SSEA must work
together. There have been meetings to discuss data sharing and responsibilities. Keith
noted that he would like to work with the NVCA however; the NVCA is no longer
working on a watershed basis as they have been in Springwater Township. Watershed

boundaries should and must be taken into consideration for the SSEA to continue the
effective service to all the municipalities in the Severn Sound area.
Ralph Hough stated that he understands Keith's position but feels that cooperation
between the SSEA and NVCA is important and necessary in the long term and hopes that
an agreement will be reached.
Keith Sherman will bring the ongoing. correspondence and implication of this matter to
the next meeting.
County of Simcoe Planning Agreement
Discussions are being held regarding the Planning Agreement with the County of
Simcoe. Keith Sherman showed a map to members outlining municipal and watershed
boundaries that will be the basis for a future agreement.
Severn Sound website
A brief summary of our website stats from January to September was presented to
members.
6. Next Meeting and Adjournment
The next meeting is scheduled for Friday, January 30,2004.

4. Business arising from the minutes
4.1 Number of meetings
To date, we have held nine Board meetings in 2003. The Act states that
a meeting should be held in each month from January to June and
September to December. In order to hold ten meetings in a Municipal
election year, the tenth meeting would have to be after the new Council
appoints a full slate of new Board members.
Mr. Moore suggested that to comply in future, Mr. Molesworth speak
to CAO Fred Flood to look at the possibility of changing the term of
the Board to run to the end of December and starting in January for a
period of37 months.

5. Approval of the accounts
A question was raised about a payment to H. & S. St.Amant. Mr. Molesworth
was asked if this was for regular maintenance on the HV AC system. His
response was that no it wasn't but that he had recently been looking into a
maintenance contract for the heating and air conditioning system. St.Arnant
does not provide this type of service. One quote from another contractor has
been received. A discussion ensued regarding the number of times a year this
maintenance would need to be performed and the related cost. Mr. Molesworth
will pursue this matter with Town Engineer Doug Baker.
Moved by: A. Campbell
Seconded by: A Wilkes
That the accounts for the month of October 2003 totalling $17,026.47 be
approved.
6. Reports of Board Committees
6.1 Finance Committee - Art Campbell, Chairman
Mr. Campbell distributed a financial statement for the 10 months
ended October 31, 2003.
Mr. Moore questioned the lateness of the Provincial Ministry grant and
asked when it might be expected. Mr. Molesworth said that the Ministry
had been late making the annual survey forms available and that of
course the Provincial election had happened and that that was probably
serving to slow things down even more.
6.2 Strategic Planning Committee - Kathy Stewart, Chairman
Any new initiatives were deferred to the new Board.

of the Natural Heritage Mapping and thanked them for all of their hardwork and
dedication. They are: Kim Baker, Natural Heritage Biologist; Darren Campbell, GIS

importance and usefulness of having the Natural Heritage Mapping. In 2003 the
three main areas ofwork with Natural Heritage mapping were Durham Region, York
Region and the City of Barrie.
.,
Mayor Tom Taylor suggested that this presentation be made to all municipal
councils in order to bring awareness on this initiative. The CAO 'responded that as
part of hermandate she will be appearing before all Councils in 2004 to provide-an
update on the Authority's programs and services and that it will need to be
determined. if this will be delivered as a separate presentation or if it will be
dovetailed into the full presentation.
~
Gary Lamb advised that Simcoe County has mapping and inquired if that could be
used in this process. Mr. Baldwin responded that such information would definitely
be useful in the development and refining of the mapping. Mr. Baldwin further
suggested that the Natural Heritage mapping needs to move to the northern
municipalities and is hopeful this will be made possible through the budget process.

IX DELEGATIONS
(a) WOddiand Subdivision
The CAO advised that she will be making the presentation on behalf of the Director,
Watershed Management who is absent. The CAO further announced that a
representative from the Town of Innisfil will make a presentation which will be
followed by a presentation from the applicant.
The CAO provided some background regarding the Woodland Park Subdivision and
reminded the Board that the. item of concern remains the existence of a wetland
within the Woodland Park Subdivision and the Authority's request to protect that
wetland. At this point, the applicant is proposing to protect 51 % of the wetland and
the Authority's policy is to protect 100%. Staff need direction from the Board on this
matter.
The CAO pointed out that the Staff Report provided with the agenda does not
provide a recommendation and that staff preferred to provide the Board with
. information from both the Town and the Applicant and ask the Board to then provide
direction on how to proceed. Following all presentations, the Board will move to
"Closed Session" to deal with this issue as it is a legal matter.
...
Ms. Trudy Paterson, Skelton Brumwell & Associates advised that she was in .
attendance with Mr. Jim Hosick from the Town of Innisfil and Mr. Tom Tsakopoulos
from Graham, Wilson and Green, Legal Counsel forthe Town of Innisfil and Simcoe
County. Ms. Paterson informed the Board that since the last meeting in November
when the Town of Innisfil asked for a deferral, a review of the work done by Azmuth
as well as the last submission by the Applicant has been done. Based on this
. review, Ms. Paterson advised that it is the Town's position that they oppose the 51 %
protection of the wetland as suggested by the Applicant as it is not adequately
. justified at this time. In the absence of adequate justification, the Town has not
changed its position in relation to development within the wetland and floo?line.
areas. .
Mr. Tom Tsakopoulos addressed the Board on behalf of the Town of Innisfil and
advised that this matter will likely proceed to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) for.
consideration. The Town of Innisfil remains committed to protecting this wetland
from development as this is a significant wetland and is the only one within the
Secondary Plan of Innisfil. The wetland will be protected for educational and
recreational value. Further, Mr: Tsakopoulos advised that the Applicant has not to
date produced an engineering study to provide details on the impact of development
in this area. Mr. Tsakopoulos asked the Authority for their continued support in
opposing this draft plan and to provide their support at the OMB hearing which is
scheduled for January 2004.

Board of Directors' Meeting
BOD-12-03 - Minutes
December 12th, 2003
The CAO asked if the Town expects the Authority to have full party status at the
OMB hearing or are they looking for support. Mr. Tsakopoulos responded that
support from the Authority would be appreciated and offered no comment regarding
status suggesting the Authority should consult with their legal counsel in this regard.
It was indicated that just recently the Butternut Tree was declared an endangered
species and indicated that there are three of these trees within the development.
Councillor Corrigan requested clarification of the issues at this time. Mr. .
Tsakopoulos responded that it is the Town's position that the reports provided are
incomplete or not accurate. The supporting engineering and environmental impact
studies have not kept pace with these studies. The revised draft plan provide$ no
information regarding flood control and the protection of habitat.
Councillor Corrigan requested clarification regarding the process as it relates to the
OMB vs the Mining and Lands Commissioner. The CAO explained that under
Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act the Board deals with permits to
construct within the floodplain,. alteration to watercourses and fill. Under the.
. Planning Act, the Conservation Authority has status to make comments on planning
applications. The OMB is the forum for unresolved issues in relation to planning
matters.
The Chair invited Mr. David White to address the Board on behalf of the Applicant.
Mr. White advised that he is before the Board in a last ditch effort to settle this
matter before going to the OMB. Mr. White indicated that he wiJI be meeting with the
Town during the following week and thatthere are outstanding jssues with the Town
apart from the wetland issue.
Mr. White informed the Board that historical evidence is very clear in that this
wetland did not exist in the 1960's and in fact has been created as a result of the
deveJopment of Alcona Downs. Alcona Downs has recently developed a plan to
dump stormwater into this wetland which will compound the wetland function. The.
applicant has issues with Alcona Downs.
The issue with the Authority is that the Applicant feels they have not been given due
consideration. In their opinion they have not received a technical response from the
Authority although the Authority has come to the conclusion that this is a significant
wetland. Mr. White advised that there is no such thing as a locally significant
wetland as that title left jurisprudence in 1992. There .are only provincially significant
wetlands or others and one needs criteria and rationale to make that declaration.
Mr. White suggested the Authority does not have that information and is therefore
disputing the Authority's use of this label.

Mr. White believes the Authority's position is unjustified and suggested that the
Applicant will be pursuing costs against the Town and the Authority.
Mr. White continued his presentation with a review of the report prepared by Mr.
Sandylands which will be referenced at the OMB hearing. The report provides
general agreement that there would be no significant loss.
.Chair Bridge requested that Mr. White conclude his presentation and reminded him
that his deputation was to be limited to ten minutes which he has exceeded. Chair
Bridge further advised Mr. White that as he did not provide the Board with an
advance copy of his presentation, staff would not be responding to the allegations
he has put forward.
Mr. White concluded by advising that he is confident that the Applicant can
accommodate the concerns of the Town of Innisfil, Alcona Downs and the Authority
. in a satisfactory manner. Mr. White suggested that this matter needs to be settled
prior to going to the OMB next year which will undoubtedly be very costly to all
parties. I

Mayor Taylor suggested that the request for funding from the municipalities should
not be optional and it should be treated as a line item in the budget. Mayor Taylor
further suggested that this be part of the operational budget.
The CAO responded that the Authority has done very well with the watershed
municipalities regarding the budget and further advise,d that there is room for an
increase to development fees. Authority staff will be preparing a report for Board

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF CHILDREN'S AND
AUDIO VISUAL SERVICES
December 2003
Reference
Reference questions for December 2003 saw a zero per cent increase over December
of 2002. Year to date reference questions saw a less than 1 per cent (0.53) decrease in
the number of questions handled by Children's Services staff.
Overall use of computers 2003 incre-ased by four per cent over use of computers in
2002.
Programs
A successful series of storytimes finished in December as did the Saturday Explorers
Club.
A Christmas Family Storytime was offered on Saturday December 20th. Special guests
at our Storytime were storytellers Sue Charters and Sophie Cooper. Sue and Sophie's
storytelling was a highlight of the program, some of the stories had musical
accompaniment. Families enjoyed a fun morning of stories and crafts.
Instead of doing guided programs over the Christmas break we decided to offer two
Christmas Open Houses. Families were invited to drop in to Children's Services on
Monday December 22 and Tuesday December 23 between 11 :00 - 3:00 to enjoy craft
activities and movies. This program was very popular, over the course of the two days
we had approximately 130 children and parents ta~e part in the open house.
Outreach and Publicitv
Central Preschool continued their weekly visits, with three visits in December. We also
had a visit from the grade 8 class from Mnjikaning First Nation School for a booktalk on
fantasy literature.
Book displays this month included Christmas, Hanukah, and Kwanza.
Collection Maintenance
Kelly Smith has undertaken a project to affix legible spine label to all of the children's
books. We are hoping legible labels will help us keep volunteers for shelving. I am also
weeding some of the collection as this project continues.
Shelving books continues to be a problem as we have only one volunteer who comes
on a semi regular basis.
MONTHLY REPORT
DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION SERVICES
DECEMBER 2003
\()d ~.. C)
December was typically a quieter month for Information Services. Jayne organized a very
successful Christmas Tea for our volunteers, with small gifts of appreciation. The goodies were
donated by Mariposa Market. Forty attended.
I gave five students from Career Essentials a tour of the library, emphasizing the periodical
indexes and job searching materials.
REFERENCE QUESTIONS:
A total of 1,324 questions were addressed at the Information Services desk.
USE OF ONLINE PRODUCTS:
Proquest was used by 54 clients, a substantial increase now that it is on the homepage.
EbscoHost was used 96 times,"C! twenty-three per cent increase over last year.
INTERNET USAGE: .
The figures for use of the Internet were down, reflecting the loss of the CAP internet trainer in
July. 1,489 people used the Internet during December.
USAGE OF WEB SITE AND FROST PAPERS:
On the other hand 982 searches were made from our homepage and the Frost Scrapbook
experienced 76 hits during the month.
VOLUNTEER HOURS:
Volunteer hours were also down this December over last. We feel that there is a need to recruit
new people, as some of our regulars are no longer able to help out and have been brain storming
on methods to increase their numbers.
NEWSPAPER INDEX:
The new index offers many more features and is much easier to use. During the month, 1191
stories were indexed, along with 142 births, deaths and marriages.
PROMOTION:
Two newspaper articles were written for the Packet; five promotional pamphlets were created for
the public.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH:
Materials were gathered for six shut-ins during the month.
INTERLIBRARY LOANS:
Materials borrowed from other libraries (115 items) and materials lent to others (126 items) were
both up over last year.
GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS AND VERTICAL FILES:
170 items were added to the collection and 250 items were withdrawn, mainly from the annual
reports, as the newer reports came in.

Report of the Director of Technical Services
December 2003
Circulation
Borrowing figures were down in December by 2500 from last year, and
overall the totals for 2003 are almost 259,000, about 2% less than in 2002.
Decreases are mainly in Books and Videos/DVDs, while other materials
roughly stayed the same.
Visitors were down in December as well, from the previous year, with 13,
806 compared to 14563 in 2002.
Technical Processing
Gail Matthews continues to make a gradual return to full-time work,
adapting to a number of changes in procedures and methods that happened
during her absence. We expect her to be full time in January.
Building Planning
A number of library staffers went an a field trip to see two new libraries in
December, the Ajax Public Library central branch and the Clarington
Library main branch in Bowmanville. Both libraries were very impressive
and virtually exact opposites in their use of light, colour, fittings, and overall
feel and atmosphere. IT was a very interesting trip for the staff and helps us
see what the potentials a new building can offer us in the way of services
and operations.

TOWNSHIP OF ORO-MEDONTE
REPORT
Dept. Report No. To: Council Prepared By:
ADM2004-007 Marilyn Pennycook, Clerk
Subject: Department:
Council Request to Remove Administration
1 Ft. Reserve between Birch
C.ofW. Road and Part of Lot 1,
Concession 14
Date: February 4,2004
Motion #
R.M. File No. L07 -013181
Date:
.
KGROUND:
On November 5, 2003, correspondence was received from Bourne, Jenkins & Mulligan on behalf of
Fred Ferrier, requesting that the Township transfer to Mr. Ferrier the one foot reserve between his
property (Part of Lot 1, Concession 14) and Birch Road (Attachment #1). The ownership of this
strip of land by the Township results in Mr. Ferrier having no legal access from his property to Birch
Road.
A map of the subject area is attached for information. (Attachment #2). A more detailed map of
the one foot reserve is also attached (Attachment #3).
This request was circulated to Department Heads for comment and, as a result, further investigation
and a title search indicated that the one foot reserve traversing the westerly boundary of Mr. Ferrier's
property was deeded to the Township in May of 1963 as part of Plan 1452. This one foot reserve
delineates the northerly boundary of the subdivision as well as the parameters of Birch Road
(Attachment #4).
(
IANAL YSIS
As the one foot reserve between Birch Road and Mr. Ferrier's property is a delineation and was
deeded to the Township as part of the conditions of Plan 1452, the consensus of Department Heads
was that the land is no longer required by the Township.
The applicant has requested transfer of only that portion of the one foot reserve which would allow
legal access to Birch Road. However, transfer of only that portion would result in the Township
retaining the further one foot reserve that traverses the boundary of this property to the property line
at Bass Lake. This strip of land is also deemed by staff to be no longer required by the Township.
\~C1 . Q.
Given the comments received from staff, it is recommended that the one foot reserve between Birch
Road and Part of Lot 1, Concession 14, as well as the remainder of the one foot reserve which lies
between Block B and Part of Lot 1, Concession to Bass Lake, be declared surplus to the needs of the
municipality .
, RECOMMENDATION
,
1. That Report ADM2004-007 be received and adopted.
2. That the one foot reserve between Birch Road and Part of Lot 1, Concession 14, as well as the
one foot reserve between Block B, Plan 1452 and Part of Lot 1, Concession 14, be declared
surplus to the needs of the municipality.
3. That the applicant be advised of Council's decision.
