information with respect to recreation
areas in Indian Park. Concerns of the
members of the Indian Park Association

Phase 3 should a Judge's Order provide
the authority. Sweetwater Park, the
Common areas in Phase 3, and the

between both parties. Direction was
provided to the C.A.O. and Director of
Recreation, Community and Economic
Development to bring a report back to
Committee.
Mr. Nick McDonald, presented
recommendations to Council with
respect to changes to By-law 97-62, the
Zoning By-law. Each issue was dealt
with separately by Council as presented
in the documentation provided by Mr.
McDonald. Direction and/or approval
was provided to Mr. McDonald with
respect to each recommendation.
Commander Len Hassberger, Staff Sgt.
Rod Lake, Sgt. Mike Armstrong
presented to Council the 1998 Costing
with respect to police services.
Estimates of the Municipal Costs for
policing were presented in the Council
Agenda. Background information with
respect to amendments to the Police
Services Act was provided by
Commander Hassberger. Council may
appoint an Advisory Board to contact
one or all of the three Detachment
Commanders when communication is
necessary. This approach would provide
that the level of service would remain
status quo. Should a Police Services
Board be established, and a contractual
agreement be established, in
consultation with the police detachments
a level of service would be determined.
Neighbouring municipalities may have a
Joint Police Services Board and
determine the level of service through
consultation amongst the partners.
Contracting service through the City of
Barrie is another option and the final
option is to form an Oro-Medonte Police
Services.
Council recessed for lunch @ 12:25 p.m. and reconvened @ 1 :30 p.m.
