Also Present Were: Gary Cunnington, Kim Goodman, Gail Donovan, Ian Bender, Ernie Dryden, Thelma Halfacre. Mayor Ian Beard chaired the meeting and called the meeting to order @ 9:10 a.m. 1. DISCLOSURE OF PECUNIARY INTEREST AND GENERAL NATURE THEREOF: - IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ACT None declared. 2. DEPUTATIONS: ( a) 9:00 a.m. Verbal Reports from Members of Council on Various Committees as Follows: Councillor Craiq: Royal Victoria Hospital 8 Councillor Craig has been moved from Finance Committee to Management Committee of RVH Board. A tour of the new hospital was taken and it is now 85% complete and scheduled to open next year. The Board is hoping to have the Queen, when she visits Ontario, do the official opening but there has been no word back but hopefully they will hear by the end of December. It has been a difficult year for the Board with cutbacks from the Province. A number of meetings in June resulted in laying off of five middle management staff at the hospital as well as 18 nurses were laid off. Board is attempting to keep costs under control and deal with the deficit problem but because of the actions taken it is anticipated that there will be a balanced budget this year. - 2 - Councillor Craiq: Royal Victoria Hospital There are ongoing problems with doctors and continues to a worry for the Board as far as the situation where people need medical attention and the pressure is going to be on the emergency department as the after hours clinics and doctors refuse to see patients after hours and on weekends. They are hoping to be able to hold up their end. Nottawasaqa Valley Conservation Authority 8 The NVCA is under the gun as far as budget goes with the cutbacks from the Province. The authority is doing a lot of partnering to try and help out with the costs. At a dedication ceremony a few weeks ago the Minesing was designated a International Environmental Heritage and there are only a few of these in Canada and around the world so it was a feather in the cap and will allow NVCA access Federal funds for upcoming projects in the Minesing Swamp. The Township of Springwater requested and was granted at meeting November 22, 1996 the ability for NVCA to manage rest of the portion of the Township of Springwater that not in the Conservation Authority, the North part of Springwater is in the Wye River, as long as it is approved by the provincial Government, it will now come under the management of the NVCA. There is also about a square kilometre (400 or 500 acres) in Oro-Medonte that forms the headwaters that flow into Orr Lake, which they are interested in also incorporating in this enlargement. They will be approaching this Council to seek permission. It makes sense to have all of the headwaters of Orr Lake that flow to the Wye Rive to be all included in that area there. Deputy Mayor Martin: Orillia Chamber of Commerce November 26, 1996 City of Orillia made a presentation to leaders of the Orillia & District Chamber of Commerce with regards to effluent and a new program they have dealing this coming into the lake. 8 Suggest that we ask for a copy from the Waste Management people from the City of Orillia and make clear to us what their new program is. I think we do have a concern because Lake Simcoe does effect our Township. Lake Simcoe Reqional Airport A new hangar going over on the North pad is in the process of being built now. The flight centre that teaches the pilots from Georgian College, they will be teaching about 4 by spring and expect it to be double that by fall and they will be renting the hangar off the person that is building that hangar. The second hangar may possibly be built this winter or the spring, a much larger one on the South pad and we have now been in discussions with people who want to build a 50 x 50 hanger so it does look like finally the airport is starting to move and I have a draft plan of the budget at the office now if anyone wants to see it. - 3 - Mayor Beard County of Simcoe 8 Library (b) 8 3. One report voted on Tuesday was that we study water. I voted against it as I believe Mr. Martin did on the vote. The County is talking about bringing water from Lake Simcoe and pipeline into the County and another pipeline going South from Georgian Bay to the South Region. They studying it to see the effect and feasibility of it. There is a movement afoot, as you would probably know, to bring water from Georgian Bay to York Region at sometime in the future and my personal feeling is that if you can't develop with existing resources, perhaps you should maybe not be developing and intensifying the use of your Township. Roads Study from County is being sent back to the Township to be studied again for report from all the Road Superintendents and I also have a copy of that report available, in exclusion of the map. Our effect is they are going to be taking the 7th from Highway 11 to Horseshoe Valley Road, that is a major effect. Turning back the 7th below Highway 11 and a road over on the West side going to the County. Asked Mr. Haughton to study roads study and report back the Road Superintends before January. The Barrie Library opens on Friday, December 6, 1996. quite a nice building. It i 10:20 a.m. Ian Bender County of Simcoe, Planning Department addressed Council regarding the County Draft Official Plan. He requested feedback from any source available and expects the Final Draft in January, 1997 for adoption later in 1997. Mr. Bender indicated the approval authority for subdivisions is expected in 1997 and approval for Official Plans in 1998. The plan is to be a general plan with a designation map with the following designations: Settlement, greenlands, agricultural & rural and single use developments.
