1. Call to Order - Moment of Reflection:
The Township of Oro-Medonte acknowledges that we are situated on the
traditional land of the Anishnaabek (A- nish- in- aa- beh) people, and
ancestral territory of the Huron-Wendat. The Anishnaabek include the Odawa
[Oh-DAH-wah], Ojibwe [O-jib-we] and Pottawatomi [boh-tah-WAH-toh-mee]
nations, collectively known as the Three Fires Confederacy. It continues

today as the home for diverse Indigenous Peoples including the historic
Metis Community in Penetanguishene.
The Anishnaabek people continue to have an enduring relationship with this
land, specifically the Chippewas of Rama First Nation, the Chippewa Tri-
Council and the Williams Treaties First Nations. The Huron-Wendat Nation
also continues to pay respect and protect their ancestors and heritage on this
land. We honour the Indigenous history and culture that has thrived for
millennia in this territory and the Treaties that bind us together as partners in
the spirit of a shared sustainable and prosperous future. We are all Treaty
People. Our commitment begins with acknowledging the Truth so that we
can move forward together towards Reconciliation.

Subject:Agenda Item 12 c). Request for Consideration of By-law 2020-010 from Councillor Keane
Attention: Mayor Hughes and Council Members
I'm assuming that Ms Keane is making this request to cover her legal fees associated with her participation,
poor judgment and deception in viewing the HVPOA AGM, discussed at the Council meeting May 26,2021. I
do recall her stating in that meeting that she would be responsible for her legal fees. Is this just another
"alternate fact" from her?
Ms Keane lied, misled, and breached the Code of Conduct bestowed upon her, in her position of trust. Why
should we be forced to pay for her legal fees from her reprehensible behaviour? Had she been forthright in the
beginning, there would have been no need for legal counsel. She must accept responsibility for her actions and
related fees, not the tax payers.
Consider this when you vote on this issue.
If this request is for something else, I would like clarification.
For the record, I do not want to pay for this.

Please add my letter of objection to Councillor Keane's request agenda item 12c to have her legal fees paid by
the taxpayers of Oro-medonte.
I am astounded that Councillor Keane has the gaul to make this request after she stated it was her responsibility
to pay these fees.
She was not fulfilling her duties as a member of O-M Council. She acted on her own in obtaining legal advice.
It seems these letters sent to agenda comments are NOT given any consideration as was apparent at the May 26
meeting at which 60plus letters, most asking for Councillor Keane's resignation, were never even mentioned or
considered.
As a taxpayer in this Township I am totally against any payment of this Councillor's legal fees.
Thank you for considering my comments.

The mayor should have reclused from the vote and she was guilty anyway of poor choices and conduct that

Do not use the tax monies I send, to pay her bill!!!!!
Do you need a petition from all the constituents to make the correct and honourable decision?

Subject: Compensation for Ms Keane
Council,
Bylaw 2020-010 reads that Council MAY pay compensation, or may not. Payment is optional. Shall is
mandatory. Please note the difference.
In section 283(2) it is stated the person MAY be compensated if they are "acting in their capacity". I feel that
the councillor was acting well outside of her"capacity".
For the above reasons I feel that it would be inappropriate to compensate the councillor.
Any compensation could generate the impression that Oro-Medonte Council supports the unacceptable
behaviour as outlined in the Integrity Commissioners Report.
Should the majority of Council wrongly vote to compensate, anything more than $1.00 total and payable in
monthly instalments for the duration of her term would be outrageous.
Regards,

Subject: FW: Investigation into Councillor Keane
I was among the many constituents who watched Council "debate" the Integrity
Commissioner's findings into Councillor Keane's actions as they related to HVPOA.
And now although it is not explicit, it appears that Councillor Keane might ask Council to pay
for her legal fees. If that is the case, I go on record to say that it would be morally
reprehensible to use my tax dollars to do so.

Please post the following comments Re: Item 12 (c) June 9th Agenda of Council
First off, it is noted that the Bylaw under which Councillor Keane is asking for remuneration has not apparently
been updated as required under the Municipal Act and is therefore perhaps not applicable. Secondly, There is no
information attached to this request to justify why Council should approve it or why the public should feel
comfortable in this expenditure of their tax dollars.
There are several questions that Council and the public need answered by Councillor Keane before Council
considers this request:
1. What is the amount of the request?
2. What was the exact nature of the Township business that Councillor Keane was performing at various
stages in this event?
3. Was any other member of Council forwarded the invite to the HVPOA AGM by Mayor Hughes?
4. Did any other member of Council or Township staff advise on,review or prepare any part of the email
that was sent by Councillor Keane to the HVPOA?
5. If, in fact, Councillor Keane was conducting Township business during all these events,why did the
Councillor not reach out to the Township's lawyer for assistance?
As the evidence is that Mayor Hughes and his son facilitated the events that unfolded, it is expected that Mayor
Hughes will do the honourable thing and recuse himself from voting on this request.

Attention Mayor Hughes and member of Council I am horrified with the behaviour of some members

legal assistance. Now she thinks that the property owners of Oro-Medonte should pay her bill from
her Lawyer. We should not have to pay one penny and council should unanimously vote against item

Subject: COMMENT OM Council Mtg June 9, 2021 Item 12 (c)
Mayor & Council of Oro-Medonte
I am opposed to any action to support C. Keane's legal expenses and Council should also
do the same, namely oppose this request.
The information is scant at best in the request and in no way provides ample information
and should be withdrawn let alone presented to Council.
The request is so loosey-goosey there is no way a valid and meaningful decision can be
made without additional information.
Additional information should include:
1. What are the legal fees for? We simply do not know. It could be for a traffic stop
for a DUI or the slandering of an individual for all the request reveals or a myriad of
other events that have not been disclosed by C. Keane.
2. How much are the legal fees? C$2,000, C$20K, C$200K? We simply do not know.
3. Is this a one-time request? Or is it recurring? We simply do not know.
4. What business of doing her job required her to seek counsel? Driving to an NVCA
meeting and getting pulled over by the OPP? Slandering a resident? We simply do not
know.
C. Keane made a conscious choice to get a lawyer, not the mayor, not Council, not the
IC. C. Keane made the choice as offered by the IC. She made the choice...'Watch the
Video'. She should be accountable for her choice and the consequences. A get out of jail
free card should NOT be considered for C. Keane especially one subsidized by tax dollars
from residents. Her choice and her responsibility to be accountable for the choice SHE
made.
If there is truly OM business involved, which is doubtful and unproven, then why did C.
Keane not contact the OM lawyer? She went rogue by the looks of it. We simply do not
know.
C. Keane chose the behaviour herself that resulted in her legal fees, not residents and
the choice was not to benefit residents it appears. We simply do not know.
Page 14 of 193
2.a) Motion to Adopt the Agenda.
As well, Councilor Keane still lied, obstructed, trespassed, was dishonest, etc., not
residents. How can anyone believe the request is real when there are so many
unknowns? We know C. Keane has been dishonest in the past and Council members
should take that fact under advisement when considering the request. Leopards don't
change their spots to my knowledge and as an observation. How do we know if this
request is false or not? We simply do not know.
C. Keane makes NC$26K/yr., NC$6K/yr. Councilor budget, + meeting per diems $$ +
health insurance + mileage, etc. She voted herself a pay raise every year.
Councilor Keane should pay her own legal bills, not residents. Perhaps she should have
purchased personal liability insurance rather than asking for residents to act as an
insurance broker for her legal fees.
Please oppose this request if it is not withdrawn for reasons as described above. The
expenses are NOT ELIGIBLE under OM By-Law 2020-010 and should not become
eligible either. A subsidy for C. Keane's personal financial issues and choices should not
be borne by taxpayers, period. Taxpayers are not accountable for HER choices, we were
never consulted, C. Keane is responsible.
In fact, it is my view C. Keane should resign immediately for having the gall to even
make such a request.
Thank you members of Council in advance for your support in this matter.

Subject: Councillor Keane's Legal Fees
Dear Mayor and Council Members
I am writing regarding Councillor Keane's request to have her legal fees reimbursed.
While by-law 2020-010 applies to expenses for Councillors committee work, I trust that the bylaw was intended
to cover expenses like travel, meals, and accommodation and not intended to cover legal expenses required to
defend unprofessional behaviour. Since her actions were not in good faith, were motivated to advance her own
personal agenda, were not in line with her Council position's responsibilities, and have resulted in significant
time and expense to the Council to address her unprofessional behaviour, I do not support her legal fees being
reimbursed with public funds.

I am strongly opposed to Council reimbursing ANY of Cathy Keane's legal expenses. To do so would both
compound Council's misguided support of Ms Keane's egregious behaviour to date and continue the disturbing
pattern of having taxpayers pay for it.

To Mayor and Councillors
A a constituent of Ms. Keane's ward, I am opposed to her probable request to have her legal fees

She was found guilty of misconduct by the integrity commission. While certain members of council
and the mayor did not favour even a reprimand, most in our neighbourhood disagree, to be voiced in
the next election.
I am opposed to any monetary hand outs to this councillor or any other that breaches their rules of

No. 2020-010
Request for Consideration of By-law 2020-010
2020-010
My name is Tim Taylor and I am a resident of Oro-Medonte. Please submit the following to the public record.
Councillor Keane's Request is too general— "Request for consideration RE:By-law No. 2020-010".
No details are offered to outline which "expenses"are part of Councillor Keane's "Request for consideration".
If Council is relying on "5.1"of By-law 2020-010 — "Statements for expenses shall be submitted in a form
determined by the Township", then it seems appropriate that the Township publish in advance details of any
possible "remuneration".
If a "Request"is related to the Principles Integrity Investigation and subsequent Report of May 14, 2021,
which was presented to Council on Wednesday, May 26, 2021, then it is my opinion that no "Request"should
be entertained until the Report is "Adopted"by Council. It is also my understanding from proceedings on May
26, 2021, that Council simply "Accepted"the Report and did not implement the "Recommendations"provided
by "experts and professionals", which implies that this Report is in stasis for a 90-day period starting on May
26, 2021.
Until this matter has been fully resolved, and the Township and Councillor Keane have been completely
"transparent and accountable"with "expenses"related to these events spanning the last number of months,
then Council has no choice but to put aside Councillor Keane's Request, whatever that Request may be.
During the Council meeting on May 26, 2021, the Mayor alluded to expenses on the order of$18,000.00. Based
on the Report, Councillor Keane had to "defend"allegations that were thoroughly investigated by the
Township-appointed Integrity Commission—Principles Integrity. Since Council did not "exonerate"
Councillor Keane, all expenses associated with these events should not be considered "Township business".
Respectfully submitted,
Tim Taylor

June 9, Item 12 (c) agenda item
June 7, 2021
To Mayor and Council,
The motion before Council to approve payment of legal fees for Councilor Kean by the taxpayers of Oro-
Medonte should be defeated. The agenda and motion do not specify what legal fees are being considered, and
the motion does not specify the amount. These key pieces of detail are essential information for taxpayers and
the council to make an informed decision.
If Councilor Keane is seeking reimbursement for legal fees incurred because of the Integrity Commission
inquiry then I fail to see why taxpayers should have to pay for her costs when she was acting outside of her
duties to serve the public. I reach this conclusion after reviewing the Integrity commissioners report and
after watching the council meeting.
it is my understanding that:
None of the members of council expressed the opinion that it was correct for Ms. Keane to receive a private log
in code from the mayor.
None of the members of council expressed the opinion that it was correct for Ms. Keane to share this private log
in code with her husband.
None of the members of council expressed the opinion that it was correct to review a recording unethically
obtained by her husband.
None of the members of council expressed the opinion that it was correct for Ms. Kean to lie to the
independent Integrity Commissioner .
If my understanding is in error,please tell me where I have erred.
Ms. Kean was not exonerated. The motion for a reprimand only failed to pass because the mayor did not recuse
himself.
It is never correct for anyone to lie to an investigator. A police officer knows that you do not lie to an
investigator no matter how noble your motive. A teacher knows that you do not lie to an investigator from the
College of Teachers. An accountant, a lawyer, a doctor, a pharmacist, a physiotherapist, a factory worker
knows that you do not lie to an investigator,no matter how noble your motive.
In conclusion, the taxpayers and Council need more detail on the types of legal fees and more detail about the
legal expenses incurred. If Councilor Keane is seeking legal costs incurred because of activities that were
outside of her duties to serve the public, she should not be reimbursed from public monies.
Sincerely,

Subject:June 9 Agenda item re Councillor Keane legal expenses.
I live in Oro-Meddonte. I strongly object to the Township paying for Councillor Kathy Keane's legal
expenses. She was not exonerated in the related situation and the council meeting where the
situation came up for a vote was something never to be forgotten. So many things happened that
were questionable to the taxpayers watching and listening. It isn't an easy job but ....
Councillor Keane has stated publicly that she paid her own legal fees. Let that stand. She would not
have required a lawyer if she hadn't taken certain prior actions.

Hello
I would like my comment read in the agenda,pertaining to item 12(c).
I have come to learn that Councilor Keane is now asking the council to pay for her legal fees, whereas in the
meeting held on May 26th she declared that she would be covering these fees herself. Lie after Lie.....only
under oath did she tell the truth. This is not what we expect from our councilor's.....
Should it also be in the motion whom the funds are to be paid to and the dollar figure?
These past few months have put a light on local politics....and the trust communities have in them.. Right now,
this community has zero trust in you. Shame.
Thanks

Subject: Lawyers Fees
Mayor Hughes and Council
I am emailing to voice my vehement opposition to the request from Councillor Keane to have her
legal fees paid by the taxpayers of Oro-Medonte. Ms Keane was not exonerated for her deplorable
behaviour in lying to the Integrity Commissioner and obstructing their investigation. Ms Keane has
used her position as councillor to bully, demean and threaten residents.
I am also opposed to the township paying the added cost incurred due to Ms Keane lying and
obstructing the Commission. Why should the residents of Oro-Medonte pay for the egregious
behaviour of an incompetent councillor?
This revised letter that has been written at your request but also gives me the opportunity to express
my concerns that the item on the agenda does not come with much of an explanation regarding the
amount being asked for or the details of the work that we taxpayers are asked to pay for.

Subject: COMMENT OM Council Mtg June 9, 2021 Item 12 (c)
Please post the following comments Re: Item12 (c) June 9th, 2021 Agenda of OM Council meeting.
Mayor & Council of Oro-Medonte,
I am opposed to any action to support C. Keane's legal expenses and Council should also
do the same, namely oppose this request.
The information is scant at best in the request and in no way provides ample information
and should be withdrawn let alone presented to Council.
The request is so loosey-goosey there is no way a valid and meaningful decision can be
made without additional information.
Additional information should include:
1. What are the legal fees for? We simply do not know. It could be for a traffic stop
for a DUI or the slandering of an individual for all the request reveals or a myriad of
other events that have not been disclosed by C. Keane.
2. How much are the legal fees? C$2,000, C$20K, C$200K? We simply do not know.
3. Is this a one-time request? Or is it recurring? We simply do not know.
4. What business of doing her job required her to seek counsel? Driving to an NVCA
meeting and getting pulled over by the OPP? Slandering a resident? We simply do not
know.
C. Keane made a conscious choice to get a lawyer, not the mayor, not Council, not the
IC. C. Keane made the choice as offered by the IC. She made the choice...'Watch the
Video'. She should be accountable for her choice and the consequences. A get out of jail
free card should NOT be considered for C. Keane especially one subsidized by tax dollars
from residents. Her choice and her responsibility to be accountable for the choice SHE
made.
Page 25 of 193
2.a) Motion to Adopt the Agenda.
If there is truly OM business involved, which is doubtful and unproven, then why did C.
Keane not contact the OM lawyer? She went rogue by the looks of it. We simply do not
know.
C. Keane chose the behaviour herself that resulted in her legal fees, not residents and
the choice was not to benefit residents it appears. We simply do not know.
As well, Councilor Keane still lied, obstructed, trespassed, was dishonest, etc., not
residents. How can anyone believe the request is real when there are so many
unknowns? We know C. Keane has been dishonest in the past and Council members
should take that fact under advisement when considering the request. Leopards don't
change their spots to my knowledge and as an observation. How do we know if this
request is false or not? We simply do not know.
C. Keane makes NC$26K/yr., NC$6K/yr. Councilor budget, + meeting per diems $$ +
health insurance + mileage, etc. She voted herself a pay raise every year.
Councilor Keane should pay her own legal bills, not residents. Perhaps she should have
purchased personal liability insurance rather than asking for residents to act as an
insurance broker for her legal fees.
Please oppose this request if it is not withdrawn for reasons as described above. The
expenses are NOT ELIGIBLE under OM By-Law 2020-010 and should not become
eligible either. A subsidy for C. Keane's personal financial issues and choices should not
be borne by taxpayers, period. Taxpayers are not accountable for HER choices, we were
never consulted, C. Keane is responsible.
In fact, it is my view C. Keane should resign immediately for having the gall to even
make such a request.
Thank you members of Council in advance for your support in this matter.

Dear Mayor and Council
Before a Councillor retains legal counsel they should obtain approval from management on advice
from the Township solicitor. This was not done, or management refused to approve Councillor
Keane's request, otherwise the Councillor would been reimbursed already.
Council cannot condone Members of Council, or anyone else connected with the Township, to incur
costs on their own with the expectation the Township will pay them back.
When Councillors fail to obtain approval in advance, or the policy does not explicitly apply to the
expenditure (as is the case with the policy cited by the Councillor), the costs are personal in nature.
Council should deny reimbursement of Councillor Keane's legal expenses.

I am opposed having councillor Keane's lawyers fees being paid for though tax payers money ! She
is guilty and she should step aside. Why would we pay lawyers fees for a dishonest person?
Everyone involved in this case should be asked to resign. It's very sad the messenger got fired and
the people that are guilty (involved in this case )still have a job. I find it very disturbing to think she
would even ask.
Looking forward to next year's elections as I'm sure most of the residents are!

2.a) Motion to Adopt the Agenda.
Please add this to the Agenda for Wednesday June 912021, under item 12 (c)
Agendacommentgoro-medonte.ca
To the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, all Councillors and the Clerk, Township of Oro-
Medonte
Council Meeting June 912021 Item 12 (c)
It "appears" from Item 12 (c) on the agenda that Councillor Keane is now
requesting Council to pay for her legal fees regarding the Integrity Commissioners
Report and recommended action — her request sent on May 30th asking support for
legal expenses in accordance with By-Law No. 2020-010, but there are no details
provided.
If Councillor Keane IS asking Council to pay her legal fees incurred regarding this
extremely important Integrity issue, I feel it is totally unacceptable for many
reasons which I am not allowed to express here, but one very important one is that
Keane adamantly declared that SHE WAS PAYING HER OWN LEGAL FEES and
should be held to her statement.
I would also like to add that if her request is indeed related to the Integrity
Commissioners Report, then it should be deferred and not be voted on at this
meeting. Any motion that is suddenly put forward by any Councillor to accept her
request is unacceptable as much discussion is required before proceeding as it is a
very complex issue.
One last comment: If indeed her request is related to the IC issue it should have
been in her letter to Council and clearly set out in Item 12 (c).

Subject: Cathy Keane's Legal fees request
Good morning Yvonne, kindly add the comments below to the public record for the upcoming council
meeting of June 9, 2021, specifically re item 12(c) of the agenda.
I take great offence at councillor Keane's request for payment of her legal fees by township taxpayers
stemming from the then Integrity Commissioner's investigation and findings of her conduct relating to
the Horseshoe Valley Property Owners Association private meeting. The grounds for my position are
as follows:
1.Township Bylaw 2020-010 upon which she relies does not apply in any way to the circumstances
which led to her choosing to retain counsel. She was not acting within the course and scope of
legitimate board or committee work on behalf of the township when she snooped in on a private
meeting and then lied, obfuscated, and misled the Integrity Commissioner about it and related
aspects.
2. She publicly stated at the May 26,2021 council meeting that she would pay her own legal fees. The
statement was not contingent on her either being reprimanded by council or not.
3. She should not be rewarded for conduct unbecoming an alleged leader of the community who is
expected to act honourably and clearly did not, no matter council's so-called "exoneration" the details
of which I will not once again repeat as they are self evident.

Subject: Item 12(c) June 9th Agenda of Council
Please post the following comments re: Item 12(c) June 9th Agenda of Council
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the request by councillor Keane to have "support
for legal expenses in accordance with By-law No.2020-010".
I have read By-law 2020-010 in its entirety and have several questions regarding its pertinence to
councillor Keane's request. First it is apparent from the report by the Integrity Commissioner and by
the testimony of councillor Keane under oath that she was not carrying out her duties as an elected
official. She was an uninvited guest to a members only AGM of the Horseshoe Valley Property
Owners' Association. Under oath she admits to falsely claiming she was given a USB stick by a
concerned resident so her viewing of the meeting was not at the request of a "concerned resident".
Secondly, according to By-law 2020-010 Section "C" 4.4, "expenses shall be paid upon submission of
the Expenses Statements with receipts". Where is the Expenses Statement so the other council
members and the public can be informed of the nature of the expense and the actual cost to the
Township and its taxpayers?
Thirdly, if councillor Keane believes she was conducting official business in the viewing of the
Horseshoe Valley Property Owners' AGM and her subsequent letter to the executive of that
association, then why did councillor Keane not use the services of the legal counsel retained by the
Township of Oro-Medonte?
I would expect councillor Keane to recuse herself from voting on this issue. I would also respectfully
request that Mayor Hughes also recuse himself given the "paper trail" making it evident that Mayor
Hughes was the one who shared the password to the Horseshoe Valley Property Owners' AGM and
started this unfortunate chain of events.

Subject: Item 12 (c) June 9, 2021 Council Agenda
Please place the following comments on record for the June 9, 2021 meetings of Council.
To the Mayor and Members of Council:
On May 26, 2021 Council considered a Recommendation Report from the Township's Integrity Commissioner
in the matter of a complaint by the Horseshoe Valley Property Owners Association against Councillor
Keane (the "HVPOA Complaint") and determined on a split vote not to accept the Integrity Commissioner's
recommendation to formally reprimand Councillor Keane.
It is understood that Councillor Keane has now asked the Township to reimburse her legal expenses in respect
of the HVPOA Complaint.
This raises several questions, including whether Councillor Keane was properly acting in an official capacity in
those matters outlined in the Integrity Commissioner's Recommendation Report, and if so, why she retained
legal counsel privately to represent her in that matter, instead of using the Township's legal counsel.
As a concerned resident, property owner and taxpayer of Oro-Medonte, I strongly urge and respectfully submit
that it would be inappropriate for Council to approve Councillor Keane's request for reimbursement of her legal
fees in the matter of the HVPOA Complaint. It is further respectfully submitted that any other members of
Council who were directly involved with Councillor Keane's actions which were the subject of the HVPOA
Complaint, as set out in the Integrity Commissioner's Recommendation Report, should recuse themselves from
voting on the matter of Councillor Keane's requested reimbursement of her legal expenses relating to the
HVPOA Complaint.

In the matter of item 12 c on June 9 Council meeting agenda
After reading the minutes of May 26 Council Meeting, I do not see how you can pay Ms.
Keane's legal expenses, as she requests.
Her letter to HVPOA says "it has come to my attention that HVPOA held its AGM Feb 3
2021". That indicates she found out about the meeting later than Feb 3. The Integrity
Commissioner's Report states that "We do not find that Councillor Keane participated in the
HVPOA AGM" That reinforces the fact she did not go to the meeting. If she did not "go" to
the meeting then her troubles with HVPOA have nothing to do with her duties as an Oro-
Medonte Councillor.
If on the other hand you decide to pay the legal costs, then you are admitting that she did "go"
to the AGM, that she was doing council business, and that she has the right to be reimbursed.
In the interest of clarity please state what business Councillor Keane was doing for Council,
before deciding to pay her costs.
The much larger picture here, whether you like it or not, is the integrity and the reputation of
Oro-Medonte Council.

Subject: Councillor Keane Correspondence re: Request for Consideration Re: By-law No. 2020-010
Please post the following comments Re Item 12c on the June 9th Agenda of Council.
We have noted that Councillor Cathy Keane has submitted a "Request for consideration Re: By-law No. 2020-
010" for reimbursement. However, there are no details provided indicating what this remuneration might be
related to.
Our concern is that this request might be related to legal costs incurred by Councillor Keane during
the Principles Integrity Investigation which was presented to Council on Wednesday, May 26, 2021.
We are actually constituents in Mrs. Keane's riding and members of the HVPOA and found the entire meeting
on May 26th a debacle with no respect accorded to the Principles Integrity or his report and
recommendations. We were deeply concerned with Councillor Keane's total lack of honesty and integrity
during this investigation with her fabrication of a story to mask her unethical behaviour until she was under
oath. This is not what we would expect of any elected official.
As taxpayers, we would be more than offended if any monies were reimbursed to Mrs. Keane. She almost
defiantly stated during the May 26th meeting that she used her own monies to pay her legal fees as should
have been the case. If she had demonstrated any integrity at all, this is an expense she would not have had to
incur.

of the Anishnaabek (A- nish- in- aa- beh) people, and ancestral territory of the Huron-
Wendat. The Anishnaabek include the Odawa [Oh-DAH-wah], Ojibwe [O-jib-we] and
Pottawatomi [boh-tah-WAH-toh-mee] nations, collectively known as the Three Fires
Confederacy. It continues today as the home for diverse Indigenous Peoples including the
historic Metis Community in Penetanguishene.
The Anishnaabek people continue to have an enduring relationship with this land,
specifically the Chippewas of Rama First Nation, the Chippewa Tri-Council and the
Williams Treaties First Nations. The Huron-Wendat Nation also continues to pay respect
and protect their ancestors and heritage on this land. We honour the Indigenous history
and culture that has thrived for millennia in this territory and the Treaties that bind us
together as partners in the spirit of a shared sustainable and prosperous future. We are
all Treaty People. Our commitment begins with acknowledging the Truth so that we can
move forward together towards Reconciliation.

as the item directly pertained to her and she recused herself from the vote on this item.
Motion No. C210526-15
Moved by Scott, Seconded by DeSousa 4A
Whereas Council has received contradictory findings from Integrity Commissioner (IC) -
Principles Integrity (PI) and H.G. Elston, (Elston) Barrister/Solicitor / Integrity
Commissioner regarding a Complaint signed by Linda Myles, President of the Horseshoe
Valley Property Owners Association (HVPOA).
Whereas in the General Introduction of the PI report a statement is found that Oro-
Medonte Council "are held to a higher standard of behaviour and conduct" with the PI
findings specifically focusing as it relates to Honesty, Fairness, Respect and Courageous
and Responsible Decision Making.
Whereas due to the subjectivity in determining a higher standard as it applies to a breach
in the Code of Conduct it is appropriate to reference the behaviours and conduct of the
complainant and PI as benchmark comparisons.
Whereas there is a history of concerns with the HVPOA distributing false and misleading
information as confirmed by the following excerpt from a mail out by the former Ward 1
Councillor: "A number of residents attended the Council meeting March 12th where the
process was explained. To ensure that the rates in the motion were for illustrative
purposes only, staff twice clarified, that adopting the motion did NOT establish the rates.
Sadly, and for seemingly unexplained reasons, the HVPOA committee on the following
day and without asking for circulation from me, circulated their misinterpretations to the
Horseshoe Valley Property owners and others. Regrettably, this undermined the
community engagement process by communicating that the rates were already
established. The circulation was written in a manner that caused many to erroneously
interpret that the rate changes also applied to those on private water systems and waste
water."
Whereas communication from the HVPOA core executive on March 22, 2018 to the then
Ward 1 Councillor included the following: "You characterized the HVPOA as undermining
and unsupportive, a way that did not advance the HVPOA initiative, on behalf of the 500
households in our Settlement Area, to collaborate with the Township in planning to
manage growth. This unfortunate incident coupled with your letter writing campaign
Page 12 of 18
Page 50 of 193
5.a) Minutes of Council meeting held on Wednesday, May 26, 2021 .
Council Meeting Minutes — Wednesday, May 26, 2021.
referring to "misinformation" about the "actual facts" is also disappointing. We do not take
this lightly. We urge you to provide the HVPOA with a retraction of your public statement
of last Wednesday...Should you choose not to do the above, the course of action agreed
upon by the Board will publish a transcript or recording of your statement from the March
14th public Council Meeting...should we not hear from you by Monday, March 26th at 5.00
p.m., we will have no other choice as your comments and actions threaten our integrity
and legitimacy of the HVPOA Board and Committees".
Whereas Councillor Keane's communications state: "Should the HVPOA Board of
Directors fail to satisfactorily correct the misrepresentation to the public, or I have not
received a satisfactory response by February 26, 2021 1 will be taking this matter to
Council with a recommended action". 40%,
Whereas a comparison of the two statements noted above clearly confirms Councillor
Keane's statement to be at a higher standard especially considering Elston's opinion "It is
difficult to see how a letter to residents from a Member of Council asking for a correction...
or the Councillor will take it to council can be considered a threat of harm. To do so
requires you to charge all decisions of Council harmful or potentially harmful".
q11L ANEW
Whereas (44) PI states "they (HVPOA) experienced the accusatory tone of the letter (from
Councillor Keane) to be hurtful and offensive and the concluding statement as threatening"
The example of earlier communications to the former Ward 1 Councillor verifies this
statement to be disingenuous.
Whereas (99) PI statement "there is a longstanding history of friction between the HVPOA
and Oro-Medonte Council that spans several terms" is incorrect. There has been a long
standing positive working relationship that abruptly changed during the previous term,
seemingly related to the HVPOA Core Executive municipal election objectives. In March
during 2018 election year the then one Ward Council wrote the following excerpts to the
HVPOA who subsequently endorsed the Vice President of their association as the
preferred candidate before the nominations were closed: "There appears to be significant
disconnects between the information from January 19th 2018 meeting with the Executive
of the HVPOA." I am disappointed in the negative tone and content of some of the HVPOA
E Blasts. This is a departure from our past history of partnership and cooperation." I feel I
must add that when you say you are speaking for the community or that the community
has been fully vetted... I have to differ as I have heard from many residents who are
concerned about the negative E mails from the HVPOA to residents .
Whereas the PI report overlooked a history of friction between the HVPOA and the
County of Simcoe relating to safety improvements to County Road 22.

Whereas (50) PI made a commitment to Councillor Keane that if she revealed the name
of a person it would be used for the limited purpose of corroborating her evidence to
Council. (59) In the PI report states "We undertook not to reveal the person's identity
wishing only to corroborate her story." Yet names and information related to identifiable
individuals are contained in the report made available to the public.
Whereas (98) PI statement "there is no evidence that the Councillor put any effort to
improve her relationship with the HVPDX. This statement is erroneous. In fact just prior to
the HVPOA issuing the complaint, Councillor Keane had voted in favour of a seven million
dollar Community Center to be added to the new school to be built in Horseshoe Valley;
she voted to sell a building lot in Ward 3 to help finance this capital project in Ward 1; the
HVPOA and the Ward 1 Councillor opposed the selling and deployment of the assets of
two Township lots to help offset the huge costs of the Community Centre; Councillor
Keane as chair of the Internet Task Force has been instrumental in getting fiber extended
in Horseshoe Valley including the High Vista area; Councillor Keane was a significant
contributor to the reduction in rates for Zone 1 Water users to hook up to the Township
owned water system as a member of that task force; Councillor Keane attended numerous
functions in Horseshoe Valley including but not limited to; the Smiles for Amanda fund
raising campaign; initiatives of the WE community organization and Col. Bob Douglas's
90th birthday. %%-bib,
Whereas (27) in the PI reports extols the technological expertise of one of their (HVPOA)
members yet it is clear in (76) that there was available technology not employed to
determine or ask for confirmation of that the email was received. Those with even a
rudimentary knowledge of computer technology would know that not having an email
bounce back is not sufficient to conclude that it was received. The HVPOA news on May
20th 2021 acknowledges technological failures with its emailed distributions where it is
stated "we have had several members indicate that they did not receive our original
eNewsjron`w� 1% q�
Whereas (58) Councillor Keane revealing names without speaking to the respective
individuals first, would have betrayed confidentiality which is a breach of the Code of
Conduct. (60) It is apparent that Councillor Keane wished to consult with a lawyer. (62)
Action was taken to administer an oath on the basis of the Councillor being reluctant but
not refusing.
Whereas in policy POL-ADM-24, under Confidentiality, 10(ii) "The Integrity Commissioner
and every person acting under her or his instructions shall preserve secrecy with respect
to all matters that come to his or her knowledge in the course of any investigation except
as required by law in a criminal proceeding." And 10(iv) "Any references by the Integrity
Commissioner in an annual or other periodic report to a complaint or an investigation shall
not disclose confidential information that could identify a person concerned."

Whereas the Executive of the HVPOA breached confidentiality thereby tainting the
investigative process. The IC gave direction that the Municipal Act mandates, that there be
confidentiality in the conduct of a complaint investigation. In order to maintain and support
the integrity of the process, the IC asked that the HVPOA not discuss the content of the
complaint with anyone, including witnesses. The HVPOA in its eNews message of May
20th, 2021 acknowledges having received that direction, and that their own lawyer verified
and reinforced confidentiality requirements.
Therefore be it resolved the recommendations by H. G. Elston Barrister/Solicitor /
Integrity Commissioner, "That approach can lead to no other conclusions then that
Councillor Keane did not participate in nor make a recording of the HVPOA meeting, did
not send the HVPOA an aggressive or accusatory letter, did not threaten the HVPOA, and
must, accordingly, be exonerated" be endorsed.

Re: Paul Heiden CRS
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
On behalf of the Association of Ontario Road Supervisors (AORS), I would like to congratulate your employee,
Paul Heiden for his recent Certified Road Supervisor certification. As well, thank you for supporting your
employee and we encourage you to publicly acknowledge this achievement.
AORS has been serving public works professionals since 1961. In 1996 AORS was granted —by Provincial
Legislation—the exclusive right to use the designation `Certified Road Supervisor' (CRS). The four levels of
Certification--Associate, CRS, Intermediate and Senior—have mandatory experience and education criteria
established by the AORS Education Committee and Certification Board. Certified individuals may publicize
their credential by using initials after their names and we would certainly encourage your employee to do so.
Certification is important for your Municipality because it increases corporate 'professionalism', accountability
and morale. Certified Road Supervisors use their broad base of knowledge to make confident decisions and
therefore serve Council and public more effectively.
HORS is committed to the training and development of experienced, reliable and efficient personnel for the
construction and maintenance of public roads in rural and urban municipalities across Ontario.
Thank you again for supporting AORS and for helping us meet our objectives.
Yours truly,

Report No. To: Prepared By:
DS2021-083 Council Andria Leigh, Director,
Development Services
Meeting Date: Subject: Motion #
June 9, 2021 Zoning By-law Amendment
Application 2021-ZBA-05
Roll #: by Michele & Fraser McConney R.M.S. File #:
4346-010-003-38700 184 15-16 Side Road East D14-59551
Recommendation(s): Requires Action For Information Only
It is recommended:
1 . That Report DS2021-083 regarding a Zoning By-law Amendment applying to lands
municipally known as 184 15/16 Side Road East, Township of Oro-Medonte, be received
and adopted.
2. That Zoning By-law Amendment Application 2021-ZBA-05 by Michelle & Fraser
McConney, specifically to rezone a portion of the subject lands from the Rural Residential
Two (RUR2) Zone to the Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) Zone for lands located at 184 15/16
Side Road East, Township of Oro-Medonte, be approved.
3. That the Clerk bring forward the appropriate By-law for Council's consideration.
4. And that the applicants be advised of Council's decision under the Director, Development
Services signature.
Background:
Property Description
The subject lands have a lot area of 0.4 hectares (0.98 acres) and currently contains a
residential dwelling and is located on the north side of the 15/16 Side Road East. A Location
Map is included as Schedule 1 and an aerial image is included as Schedule 2 to this report.
Development Proposal
The purpose of the Zoning By-law Amendment application is to rezone a portion of the subject
lands from the Rural Residential Two (RUR2) Zone to the Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) Zone as
the lands were consolidated into a larger rural parcel through Consent Applications 2020-B-21
and 2020-B-22. The Zoning By-law Amendment is required to fulfill a condition of approval for

Report No. DS2021-083 Page 1 of 10
Page 87 of 193
10.a) DS2021-83, Andria Leigh, Director, Development Services re: Zoning...
the Consent Applications that were granted by the Development Services Committee on
September 2, 2020. The Committee granted provisional consent for two boundary
adjustments/lot additions that consolidate the overall land holdings subject to a number of
conditions, including: that the applicant apply for and obtain a Zoning By-law Amendment for
the subject lands to re-zone to the A/RU zone.
Analysis:
Provincial Policy Statement 2020
The intent of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) came into effect on May 1, 2020 to replace
the 2014 PPS. The Provincial Policy Statement provides policy direction on matters of
Provincial interest related to land use planning and development. Specifically, Section 1.1.4 —
Rural Areas.
The intent of the PPS is to build strong and healthy communities while at the same time
promoting efficient land use and development patterns.
Planning Staff is of the opinion that this application is consistent with the PPS as the proposed
rezoning is intended to recognize the existing development of the subject lands within the
larger rural area.
Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe 2020
Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe provides a long-term plan to manage growth
and protect the natural environment.
Section 2.2.9.3 of the Growth Plan directs the form/types of development that is permitted
outside of settlement areas on rural lands that would be consistent with the existing use of this
property for rural and residential purposes.
The proposed by-law amendment application relates to a change in the zoning from a
residential zone to an agricultural/rural zone for lands that were consolidated through a
consent process into a larger rural land holding where a residential use continues to be
permitted in this more appropriate zone category that is considered to conform to the policies
of the Growth Plan.
County of Simcoe Official Plan
The lands subject to this re-zoning are designated `Agricultural' in accordance with the County
of Simcoe Official Plan and the policies contemplate both agricultural and residential uses such
as being proposed through this zoning by-law amendment.
It is the opinion of Planning Staff that this application, that would re-zone the lands to
agricultural/rural purposes, conforms to the County Official Plan. However, since County
comments have not been received as of the preparation of this report, it is recommended that
Development Services June 9, 2021
Report No. DS2021-083 Page 2 of 10
Page 88 of 193
10.a) DS2021-83, Andria Leigh, Director, Development Services re: Zoning...
the Committee have regard for any comments that may be received prior to the Committee's
decision.
Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan
The subject lands are designated `Agricultural' in accordance with "Schedule A — Land Use" of
the Township's Official Plan. Section C1.2 identified that single detached dwellings are
permitted uses; the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment would rezone the lands from the
Rural Residential Two (RUR2) Zone to the Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) Zone in order to satisfy
the condition of the consent applications (2020-B-21 and 22).
Therefore, Planning Staff is of the opinion that the Zoning By-law Amendment application
which would allow for agricultural, rural, and residential use would conform to the Township's
Official Plan.
Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment
The subject lands are currently zoned `Rural Residential Two (RUR2)' in the Township's
Zoning By-law 97-95, as amended. This RUR 2 zone was considered appropriate for the
existing dwelling located when it was located on a separately conveyable 0.4 hectare lot.
However through Consent applications 2020-B-21 and 2020-B-22 this lot was merged with the
larger rural land holding and therefore the Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) Zone is considered the
more appropriate zone category at this time. Planning Staff recommended a Zoning By-law
Amendment as a condition of approval to change the Rural Residential Two (RUR2) zone to
an Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) zone to properly reflect the intended use of the benefitting lands.
As noted above, this Zoning By-law Amendment Application has been submitted to fulfill a
condition of approval for Consent Applications 2020-B-21 and 2020-1322, which went through a
public process under the Planning Act and was approved by the Development Services
Committee at their meeting on September 2, 2020.
The Public Meeting is scheduled for June 9, 2021 and given the proposed re-zoning is a
condition of a consent that went through a public hearing process at which time no public
comments were received, staff are not anticipating that any public concerns or issues will arise
for this rezoning application. In this regard, Planning Staff considers it appropriate for Council
to consider passing the Zoning By-law Amendment immediately after the Public Meeting held
by Council. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of Zoning By-law Amendment 2021-ZBA-05
and has prepared a Zoning By-law Amendment for consideration by Council.
Financial / Legal Implications / Risk Management:
Potential financial and legal implications should the decision of Council be appealed to the
Local Planning Appeal Tribunal and Council chooses to defend its decision.

Roll #: R.M.S. File #:
Recommendation(s): Requires Action For Information Only
It is recommended:
1. That Report No. CS2021-16 be received and adopted;
2. That the Coordinator, Economic Development & Communications initiate the next
steps of a Tourism Strategy including an RFP process for a Tourism Product Gap
Analysis;
3. And that staff report back to Council with the preferred selection and next steps.
Background:
Tourism is a key focus for Economic Development in the Township of Oro-Medonte. To
recognize the importance of tourism to the municipality, specific objectives and actions
were developed for the Economic Development Strategy 2018-2022. The below actions
were created to support and promote Oro-Medonte as a premier four-season
destination.
Objective 1: Support and positively influence the development of new and existing four-
season tourism products in the Township.
1. Action Areas:
o Maintain and expand partnerships related to tourism marketing and
product development at the local and regional levels.
• Explore providing packaging support for local and regional tourism
operators to increase overnight tourism visits.
o Work with regional tourism partners and industry stakeholders to develop
an action plan for tourism development.

Objective 2: Maintain and enhance tourism/recreational infrastructure in the Township.
• Action Areas:
o Identify existing recreational assets and their status.
o Identify user groups and clubs that have a vested interest in the
Township's recreational assets.
o Consult with the community and tourists about recreational needs.
o Develop a plan to support and/or expand tourism/recreational assets.
o Enhance local wayfinding signage and community branding.
Oro-Medonte is home to multiple major tourism businesses, bringing economic
prosperity to the Township. These businesses deliver 4 seasons of opportunity for
tourism, providing jobs for residents and support to the secondary tourism businesses,
including restaurants and retail stores operating in and around the Township.
The Township participates in tourism product development initiatives to increase more
tourism to the area and benefit the region. Working closely with tourism partners
including Tourism Simcoe County(TSC), Orillia & Lake Country Tourism (OLC),
Regional Tourism Organization 7 and others, some of the past product development
projects that have been initiated, and have successfully contributed to the growth of this
sector include: cycling including road, trail and mountain biking, paddling and fall driving
tours. New and more recent initiatives include the barn quilt trail, motorcycle routes and
agri-tourism developments. These types of product development initiatives provide
more reason for people to visit Oro-Medonte, stay longer and spend more and
represent opportunities for businesses to partner and promote one another.
For several years the Township has worked in partnership with the Orillia Community
Development Corporation (CDC) Orillia & Lake Country Tourism (OLC) and the
municipalities within the region on a Tourism Investment Project. The project included a
complete assessment of tourism products and analysis of the broader region inclusive
of stakeholder interviews. The final report was complete with potential Tourism
Investment opportunities identified for the region, the final result included three (3)
feasibility studies for the top regional opportunities — Family Entertainment Centre,
Waterfront Restaurant and Glamping. The website was created as a source of
information and centralized access point for potential investors and inquiries to learn
more about the outcomes of the project and highlight the top reasons the region of
Orillia & Lake Country should be considered for tourism investment.
In the last couple of years the Township has seen growth in new developments that are
directly or indirectly related to tourism, bringing an increased number of visitors to the
region. These developments include the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport (LSRA)
expansion, Vetta Spa, Oro Station Automotive Innovation Park and the recently
purchased Carriage Ridge and Carriage Hills Resort. On a smaller scale but very much
in high demand is the expansion of Glen Oro Farms and the unique glamping and
agri/eco-tourism experiences that the farm now offers. The ski resorts including
Hardwood Ski & Bike, Horseshoe Resort and Mt. St. Louis Moonstone have all invested
significantly in their resort operations.

Analysis:
As noted above, Tourism is a key focus sector for the Township both from a strategic
planning perspective and with respect to staff priorities. It was identified and approved
in the 2021-2022 budget the need to conduct a Tourism Strategy as a tool to guide
future Township focus. Specifically, that strategy was meant to identify roles and
responsibilities for the municipality in light of the activities of other players in the sector
(OLC, Oro-Medonte Chamber of Commerce, Tourism Simcoe County, RTO7 etc.);
define and detail specific actions the municipality and staff should be pursuing. The
Tourism Strategy was approved as a leveraged project with 50% to be sourced
externally and the remaining 50% ($25,000) approved as a tax levy contribution.
Township staff initiated discussions with tourism funding partners to discuss developing
a Tourism Strategy and explore funding opportunities. As a result of these discussions,
the following steps have occurred:
1. The Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture has agreed to facilitate the
completion of Roles & Responsibilities for the Township. This process has
commenced and will be expanded to include other tourism partners. There is no
cash contribution required to complete this process.
2. As noted in Report CS 2021-15, and approved by Council at the May 26tn
Council Meeting, Township staff will be submitting a request to the Economic
Development Funding Program available through the County of Simcoe for
funding to complete a Tourism Action Plan. Based on conversations with County
staff, we are confident that this application will be received favourably by the
County as it aligns well with their strategic priorities. This request is for $25,000.
It is staff's recommendation that a further element is required to round out the
Township's Strategy with respect to Tourism, specifically, an assessment of the types of
tourism products that best suit the future needs of the municipality given its natural
environment, topography, location etc.
Similar to the Employment Land Strategy (ELS), a Tourism Product Gap Analysis
(TPGA) will provide a comprehensive review of the current tourism sector including new
developments, closures and determine tourism asset gaps & commercial needs in the
Township. The analysis will identify what products/experiences can be enhanced or
developed by existing businesses/operators and where there are opportunities to attract
new investment. An important component of this project would be to recommend ideal
areas in the Township that would be suited for identified businesses/products. The
outcome would establish and provide accompanying policy language and
recommendations to support future tourism related developments that will tie into the
Townships Official Plan & Zoning By-law update currently targeting completion at the
end of 2021/early 2022. The previous work completed through the regional Tourism
Investment Project will be utilized as background information for the project. The
analysis will consider business growth plans of current businesses and provide
recommendations to support their future opportunities. The recommendations need to
be compatible and complimentary to the businesses and the community. Sustainable
tourism must be considered and take into account current and future economic, social

and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the
environment and our community, contributing towards a continued optimistic outlook for
the Township of Oro-Medonte.
A TPGA specific for Oro-Medonte will build on the regional work completed, narrowing
the scope to be focused and specific and provide opportunities that are unique to our
rural municipality while complimenting the tourism sector as a whole. This project will be
completed by a consultant through the Townships procurement process and will be
supported by staff. The outcomes will provide detailed information about gaps in tourism
products and experience offerings based on our Township profile and combined with
research on current and future tourism demands and trends. Of equal importance is the
policy recommendation that will be provided for consideration with the Township's
Official Plan & Zoning Update allowing for further support of the growth of the tourism
sector in the Township and looking well into the future.
Based on research and preliminary conversations, Township staff are confident that this
project can be completed within the budget allocated ($25,000) and supported through
the Tourism Simcoe County Partnership Program. It is important to consider the timing
of the Official Plan & Zoning By-law update for the end of 2021 , due to this tight
timeframe it is imperative to begin on this project immediately. The outcomes of this
project will tie into the next steps for the Tourism Action Plan and fit into the timeframe
for the kick off of this approved project at the end of 2021 .

4346-020-003-07800-0000
Recommendation(s): Requires Action For Information Only
It is recommended:
1 . That staff Report No. FI 2021-12, Tile Drainage Debenture Package, be received
and;
2. That Township Council approve Rating By-law 2021-063, to receive a Tile Drain
Debenture from the Province of Ontario in the total amount of $50,000 for (1) one
municipal tile drain loan disbursements of$50,000 each to the agricultural property

a municipality must complete in order to loan funds to an owner of agricultural land
whose property qualifies to obtain a loan of funds to install a tile drainage system on
their property.

• The Township currently has (4) five valid borrowing by-laws on file with
OMAFRA, for a total of $934,100, listed as follows:
o By-law 94-121 - $ 153,600.00
o By-law 2007-118 - $ 30,500.00
o By-law 2016-043 - $ 200,000.00
o By-law 2020-049 - $ 500,000.00
Total Borrowing $ 884,100.00
Staff recommended that each borrowing by-law remain active with
OMAFRA and that the Township utilize borrowing limits from earlier valid
by-laws first and additional limits from consecutive by-laws as required.
As such, Township Offer to Sell Debenture 2021-07 to the Province for
$50,000, shall utilize Borrowing By-law 94-121
2. The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA)
announced the criteria for the 2021/2022 Tile Loan Program would remain the
same as last year, offering an annual loan maximum of $50,000 with a 6%
interest rate for a ten year term. Tile drainage loans are available on a first
come first served basis for the Provincial fiscal year.
Under the rules governing the Tile Drain Loan program, property owners are
eligible for a maximum loan of $50,000 per fiscal year on a per owner basis,
not on a per property basis. The landowners make the application to the
municipality for the tile drain loan, and once approved by municipal Council,
arrange to have the drainage work performed.
• At its meeting on May 26, 2021 , The Council of the Township of Oro-
Medonte provisionally approved (1) one Tile Drainage Loan application
as outlined in Staff Report F12021-11 - Tile Drainage Loan Application
subject to each property owner's tax account being in good standing.
• Staff confirm that the property tax account related to the roll number
stated in this staff report and is in good standing as of the date of this
staff report.
3. Once final costs for an approved project under the Tile Drainage Loan program
are known, Section 4 of The Tile Drainage Act R.S.0.1990_requires the
municipality to appoint an inspector, and complete the necessary
documentation for a Rating By-law to be passed by the municipality.
4. Once municipal council has approved a Rating By-law to receive debenture
funds, it is sent to Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs
(OMAFRA) for their approval and then forwarded to the Province for funding to

the municipality. The municipality repays the loan over (10) years to OMAFRA
in (10) equal annual instalments at the current interest rate of 6% and
concurrently charges the landowner on their property tax account each year.
Amount of Loan Annual Payment

Analysis:
For Township Council's review and approval, staff have attached the necessary
supporting documentation for the Township's submission of a Tile Drain Debenture
Package to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs:
The Debenture Package, attached as Schedules 1 - 2, includes the following forms
and documents:
• "Tile Drainage Debenture" form (Schedule 1)
• "Offer to Sell" form (Schedule 2)
Financial / Legal Implications / Risk Management:
The proposed tile drainage debenture is to be funded by the Province of Ontario at 6%
per year for the next (10) ten years. The Township repays the loan to OMAFRA each
year, and concurrently charges the landowner on their property tax account each year.
There is a financial risk to the Township if the landowner does not pay their property taxes
as The Township of Oro-Medonte is contingently liable should the landowner default on
its payments; as the municipality must continue to make its annual debenture payments
to the Province.
However, the legislation states that the tile loan has priority lien status and as such the
liability is against the property The loan payments are collected in a similar manner to
property taxes with all of the collection tools applicable to outstanding taxes. All overdue
accounts are subject to penalties and interest of 1.25% per month.

From: Shawn Binns, Director Operations

Date: June 9, 2021
Subject: Arena Condensing Tower Replacement
The approved 2021 capital budget included provisions to replace the arena condensing tower at an
anticipated cost of $80,000.
The arena condensing tower is a critical piece of the arena refrigeration system which was not replaced
as part of the 2014 arena renovation. It requires replacement due to lifecycle, condition and risk of
failure which would result in the need to close the arena for an extended period of time.
A request for quotation was issued for replacing the existing VC1-110 evaporative condenser with an
enlarged VC1-125 unit which would better serve the arena ice surface which was expanded in 2014.
A request for quotation was issued to the following industrial refrigeration contractors with results as
follows..
Black & McDonald — $86, 640.00 + HST
Stewart Mechanical — $101 ,150 +HST
Raw Mechanical - $95, 875.00 + HST
Prices have come back above the budgeted amount of$80,000 due to the price of metals and materials
required for manufacturing and installation.
It is recommended that Black and McDonald be authorized to complete the condenser replacement in
the amount of $86, 640 plus HST. Black and McDonald installed the new refrigeration plant in 2014 and
have held the maintenance contract for the Oro-Medonte Community Arena since that time. This will
result in a budget shortfall of $6,640 (net of full HST rebate) which will be managed within the overall
Operations and Community Services 2021 budget allocation through a transfer to the Budget
Contingency Reserve.
The condensing tower has a lead time of 6-8 weeks due to current challenges with the supply chain.
These challenges may lead to further delays. Staff will continue to monitor and work towards solutions to
negate any impacts on the projected arena opening in early September.

Oro-Medonte Chamber of Commerce Farmers Market Proposal
Executive Summary
Background:
The Oro-Medonte Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to promoting and
enhancing our local businesses, farms, tourism destinations and event centres. In
keeping with that precept, the restrictions associated to the pandemic have created
challenges within the Municipality for many individuals and entities. Challenges
include, but are not limited to social isolation, financial desperation and significant
loss of revenue.
The Oro Agricultural Society has announced that for the second year in a row, the
Oro Worlds Fair will be cancelled, only the second time in its 169 year history. This
proposed relationship/partnership will help to keep the community connected to
this important entity
Issue:
As the Country, Province and Municipalities continue to navigate the pandemic,
businesses, farms and event centres are struggling financially. This may lead to
emotional and general health issues created by the stress of the pandemic for our
community.
Assisting our community though positive messaging, events, and promotions will
be viewed as strong leadership by the Chamber of Commerce.
Discussion:
Over the years, Farmer's Markets have proven to be a successful venture to
reconnect communities to their food systems. Additionally, besides the obvious
benefit to our local economy, they bring the community together and add an `event'
for the entire family.
Recommendation:
That the Oro-Medonte Chamber of Commerce give consideration to conduct a pilot
project in partnership with the Oro Agricultural Society to create a `Farmers Market'
at the Oro Fairgrounds.

Oro-Medonte Chamber of Commerce Farmers Market Proposal
Precept
"Enhancing & Promoting our local businesses, farms and event
centres is our highest priority"
Background
The Oro-Medonte Chamber of Commerce has grown and evolved over the years
and continues in that evolution as evidenced by recent decisions and direction as
set out by the Board of Directors. An emphasis on rebranding and taking a
proactive approach on tourism related efforts, will be vital in maintaining relevancy
and sustainability.
Historically, the mandate to promote and enhance our local businesses, farms, and
event centres has proven to be effective. That said, with the challenges that have
forced other Chambers of Commerce to dissolve, the need to overcome them is
paramount.
The Oro Agricultural Society has announced that for the second year in a row, and
only the second time in its 169 year history, the Oro Worlds Fair will be cancelled.
As an integral part of our community, the Oro Agricultural Society has brought our
community together and has cemented life long relationships with the young, and
the young at heart. The introductions to children of our food systems, equipment
and farming history is an education not found in traditional learning. Education that
helps to maintain that connection with our "Proud Heritage".
Issue
The pandemic has had a major effect on our lives. Many of us are facing
challenges that can be stressful, overwhelming, and cause strong emotions in all
of us. Restrictions and `best practices', such as social distancing, mask wearing
and business closures are necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19, but they
can make us feel isolated and lonely, which creates stress and anxiety.
Compounding the stress and anxiety, is the financial challenges to so many that
are affected by mandated business closures and loss of jobs.
In keeping with our precept, the restrictions associated to the pandemic have
created challenges within the Municipality for many individuals and entities.
Challenges include, but are not limited to social isolation, financial desperation and
significant loss of revenue.

Oro-Medonte Chamber of Commerce Farmers Market Proposal
Discussion
Food and agriculture has always played an important role in the Township's local
culture and proud heritage. The Oro Agricultural Society has always been a fierce
proponent in maintaining that culture and heritage. There exists an opportunity in
the formation of a Farmers Market in a partnership with the Oro Agricultural Society
and the Chamber of Commerce. This proposed relationship/partnership will help
to keep the community connected to this important entity and to the people that
the Chamber of Commerce serve.
Farmers Markets require the aggregation of local food production, but also of other
services and functions. The food is the central reason for why people gather, and
that gathering creates a hub for community interaction.
Over the years, Farmer's Markets have proven to be a successful venture to
reconnect communities to their food systems. Additionally, besides the obvious
benefit to our local economy, they bring the community together and add an `event'
for the entire family.
Assisting our community though positive messaging, events, and promotions will
be viewed as strong leadership by the Chamber of Commerce.
Operational Considerations
The following considerations have been addressed prior to the writing of this report.
Our Executive Director, Ms. Stark has had contact with representatives of a
number of entities that address and satisfy the following:
• Application & membership to Farmers Market Ontario
• Liability Insurance
• Medical Officer of Health approval (pending)
• Promotion —Agri-Tourism, Township, media, social media
• Sponsorships & partnerships
The following considerations will need to be addressed and may be fluid pending
circumstance:
• Logistics — based on current and evolving Provincial legislation related to
the pandemic
• Day & Time (Thursday's have been suggested due to area markets)
Details on the specifics of the Operational Considerations will be provided
during a Special meeting of the Board of Directors.

He advised that the Auditor's report was essentially complete, no internal control deficiencies

asked the Board if they were aware of any fraud.
Findings included two significant risk areas: management override of controls but no issues
were found; and grant revenue recognition and pressure to maintain funding. These are
standard risk areas for most organization, and the audit focused on these areas, and no
significant items noted in testing these areas of control.

Chief Administrative Officer, Rob Baldwin, provided an overview of his vision for the

- Continued response to Covid-19 and keeping staff safe, planned office renovations for
the return to physical office space, as well as taking what we've learned and creating an
emergency preparedness plan;
- Details of Bill 229 and its changes to the Conservation Authorities Act are rolling out and
defining core and non-core programs. This will continue to evolve for the next 18
months and will also have impacts on budgeting and Administrative Bylaws. Non-core
programs will require memorandums of understanding with our municipal partners;
- The Lake Simcoe Protection Plan — 10-year review is underway and separates the
Authority from the other conservation authorities when determining core and non-core
activities;

- Timing of the Authority's new Strategic Plan is lining up nicely with new Bill 229
requirements, and he was pleased to report that the strategic plan development is
being led internally by Communications department and will be a plan built by staff for
staff. He noted it's also the right time for rebranding, time for change and an updated,
shorter name with new logo;
- Another initiative is better watershed awareness, which includes: implementing metrics
and indicators to report the full value of watershed restoration projects; modernizing
subwatershed planning; developing focused subwatershed targets and key performance
indicators; exploring innovative approaches for engagement and information exchange;
as we well focused issues management;
- Significant flood relief opportunities exist with an increase in climate change
considerations, as well as lots of opportunities for public-private partnerships on
infrastructure improvements and stormwater optimization;
- Another area for expanding partnerships is having dedicated sediment and erosion
control inspectors for all development covering the entire watershed, with an
opportunity for cost sharing across the municipalities. This initiative will help to reduce
the burden on bylaw inspectors and enforcement officers. Stormwater inspection and
maintenance, using our expertise to assist in environmental compliance approvals, again
reducing costs to municipalities, maximizing stormwater facility performance, and
reducing liability and flood risk;
- Accelerating restoration and among other things looking to increase the focus on
private lands in urban areas and evaluating opportunities ahead of municipal
infrastructure projects;
- Bill 229 clarifies land management, focusing on managing the right lands and efficient
disposition of lands not meeting core responsibilities, addressing municipal needs and
reducing the Authority's corporate liability;
- An area that continues to evolve and something that the Authority looks at in all
activities is climate change adaptation and mitigation. A lot has already been done in
reducing the Authority's carbon footprint, and we will continue to walk the talk to
mitigate the effects of climate change and exploring opportunities for carbon offsetting;
- Development and regulations excellence and increasing reporting and transparency, as
well as additional transitions to digital e-transmissions and e-commerce is also
something being worked on and improving;

- Outdoor education programs have continuously evolved throughout the pandemic and
they remain critical to this and every watershed, and teaching the next generation must
continue;
- Fiscal stability and growth, and building strong reserves, an asset management plan,
more detailed short- and long-term financial plans, comprehensive fee review focusing
on cost recovery are all initiatives and improvements the Authority continues to work
on;
- Great governance and some changes as a result of Bill 229 will ensure full transparency,
refined hearing procedures, increased opportunities for Board education sessions and
mandatory watershed advisory board.
In summary, CAO Baldwin noted that some challenges lie ahead but so do lots of many
opportunities for this Authority to remain a leader among conservation authorities.

Service Recovery
In alignment with Emergency Orders from the Ontario Provincial Government for a province
wide lockdown beginning April 8 and continuing to June 2 the hours of opening remain reduced
with a standard opening and closing time from Tuesday-Saturday. Library Services moved to
the Curbside Service Delivery Model as follows:
No members of the public are allowed in the Library as per provincial direction.
The Provincial Re-Opening Plan was announced on May 20, moving away from the colour based
regional opening guidelines to sector based guidelines and dependent on vaccination rates.
The new provincial guidelines require libraries to continue in the Curbside Delivery model
through Step 1 (June 14-July 5). While in Curbside libraries can allow community members in
the Library to use computers if this can be done safely.
Step 2 begins on July 5 providing vaccinations progress at the expected level. Libraries can
open for use by the public with capacity limits set at twenty five percent. All other restrictions
and instructions remain in place including screening of staff and visitors and quarantining of
materials. We are planning to open July 6 unless there is a change in the legislation. The
established reduced hours schedule will remain in place through the summer. Opening hours
will be reviewed as we progress to Step 3 of the provincial guidelines, Step Three guidelines are
still being finalized.
Browse and Borrow services will be available for the public. The technology lab will be opened
with reduced capacity. Lounge chairs and study space will not be available initially, we will
review opening some space for people to use their own devices.
Service Delivery Model
Staff have reviewed the provision of computer services for customers who do not have access
to computers. We will be able to use between one to three laptops for members who require a
computer to complete essential forms or have other essential communication requirements.
The computer will not be bookable but will instead be made available on an as required basis.
We have just purchased laptops that will be phased in the technology lab. Fred Marlow will
work on ensuring one laptop is configured and available for use as of the first week of June.
The computer will be set-up in the cafe area while we are in the Curbside Delivery model.

Quarantine of Library Materials
Recently Vaughan Public Library completed a study on the length of time materials should be
quarantined, this study was previously distributed to the Board. The results of the study
determined that there is no added benefit to quarantining materials for seventy-two hours and
that a twenty-four-hour quarantine provided the required time for any virus contaminants to
dissipate. The PHSA also requires a twenty-four-hour quarantine of materials and not seventy-
two hours. OPL staff are presently reviewing our quarantine procedures towards moving to a
twenty-four-hour quarantine from our present 72-hour quarantine. A general trend in Ontario
libraries since the study by Vaughan was released is to reduce the quarantine period for
materials to twenty-four hours.
Strategic Priority: Enhance Our Capacity
Human Resources
Meagan Wilkinson, former Head of Circulation Services, was the successful applicant for the
Director of Children's Youth Services. We are thrilled to welcome Meagan to her new
management position. Meagan has great background and supervision and leadership skills
from her work in Circulation Services in addition she has a Bachelor Education Degree and is
close to finishing her master's degree in Information and Library Science. Meagan is helping to
make the transition in Circulation Services by dividing her responsibilities between the Family
Department and the Circulation Department. Meagan began her new position on May 17.
Amy Lambertsen, presently Information Services Technician (Local History focus), has been
selected as the successful candidate for the Coordinator of Circulation Services position. Amy
has a wide range of experience in the Library. She began her career in a part-time Children's
Services position, moved to a full-time position in Circulation Services, and then moved to her
present full-time position in Information Services. Amy's wide range of experience and ability
to take on any task or responsibility and excel made her the ideal candidate. Amy will move to
her new position on June 7.
A virtual staff meeting was held on April 29.
Kailene Lohnes, relief circulation clerk, will be completing a placement in the Library from April
28 to July 31, in completion of a Human Resources Management Course she is enrolled in
through Georgian College. Kailene will be working on a number of HR projects including the
development of new PA forms, and explanatory documents to support competency-based
performance management. In addition, she will also be working with Meagan to design on-
boarding documents, and finally she will consult HR legislation and our policy manual to
develop a checklist of policies and training requiring annual review by staff.

discussions with the City, they are revisiting the project and will be asking the supplier for a new
quote. Previously, the Board had authorized funding to support bike racks that enhanced the
Library and the space, once a new quote is received the Board will be advised of the cost and
the amount, they may be asked to contribute from the reserve account.

Transform Service Delivery
Circulation staff continued to provide exemplary service to and connect with patrons through
curbside interactions, phone communication, and email inquiries. We continue to see new
members registering for library cards and current members using curbside for the first time.
Connect People to Resources
On April 19, 2021 the management team had a scope call with Michele Newton and Lala Kelsy-
Braid of Making Change Simcoe County to discuss diversity/inclusion training options and a
possible partnership with the organization. As a result, OPL is hosting Making Change
presenters Amber Becket and Lala Kelsy-Braid to lead a zoom presentation, If Nothing Changes,
Nothing Changes in May. This will be the first or what we hope will be many programs delivered
in tandem with Making Change. With Board approval we hope to work with Making Change on
our fall PD day.
Enhance Our Capacity
On Tuesday, April 20, 2021 cataloger, Melissa Robertson attended GoToWebinar- Global
Standard, Local Choices, The New RDA Toolkit: RDA Steering Committee Chair Kathy Glennan
discussed the ways that regional and local cataloging agencies can implement their guidance
into the Toolkit, providing catalogers with the practical information they need. OPL does not
subscribe to the RDA Toolkit at this time and the cataloger is not recommending we subscribe.
Migration to the upgraded ILS comes with free RDA Express Conversion for all our records,
which will get us up to date. Melissa is trained in RDA cataloging and uses only RDA or hybrid
RDA records for cataloging. Up-to-date RDA record templates are provided by TLC, we use
these when required.
At the end of April, Melissa Robertson reviewed the pre-migration documents to prepare for
the ILS upgrade to 5.x. OPL will undergo the migration in August 2021. The upgrade will result in
a number of significant changes to the cataloging module, as well as some additional
modifications to the reports module used by managers/some staff, and the LS2Staff module
used by most staff. Training videos/documents have been distributed to managers to review
and decide on a dissemination schedule for affected staff. Data management/preparation will
begin in May.

RE: Domestic COVID-19 Vaccine Production and Capacity
Dear MPP Pettapiece,
At the regular meeting of Council held on May 20, 2021, Perth County Council passed the following
resolution brought forward from a Notice of Motion:
Moved by: Councillor Doug Eidt
Seconded by: Councillor Doug Kellum
WHEREAS throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada has relied on
international partners to provide COVID-19 vaccinations; and
WHEREAS the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines to Canada may be delayed due
to the production/distribution of the vaccine outside of Canada; and
WHEREAS the increased support from all levels of government on the creation of
COVID-19 vaccines domestically would increase Canada's vaccine capacity; and
NOW THEREFORE the Council of Perth County recommend to the Federal
Government to support domestic production of a COVID-19 vaccine; and
THAT the Council of Perth County encourage all levels of Government to engage
and support domestic vaccine capacity; and
THAT this motion be sent to Perth /Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece, MP John
Nater and to all municipalities of Ontario.
The conversation was centered around the COVID-19 vaccination, but further developed to ensuring
that as a Country we can best create and supply all necessary vaccinations. We thank you for your

DISTRICT HEALTH UNIT
May 31, 2021
To the municipal councils of Simcoe Muskoka:
The response to the COVID-19 pandemic has required a whole of community approach with
many agencies and individuals sharing in the response. This has very much included our
municipalities on a variety of fronts including the enforcement of public health control
measures in workplaces and public places, and public education and communication.
One of the key elements of our response has been the vaccination of the majority of the eligible
population of Simcoe Muskoka. Our municipalities have contributed to our vaccination
campaign with the provision of municipal facilities, equipment, and personnel. A number of our
municipalities have also supported us by taking a large volume of our phone calls in order to
assist with the booking of vaccinations and with the response to some of the questions that
come to the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit.
These contributions of our municipalities are making a substantial difference. Recently Simcoe
Muskoka reached an important milestone, with 60% of our adult population having received
at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. We are seeing the direct effect of vaccination, as well
as the effect of the other public health measures supported by our municipalities with declining
weekly COVID-19 case counts since mid-April. The actions of our municipalities are helping to
curb infections and hospitalizations locally and across the province.
We would like to take this moment to thank our municipalities for these critically important
contributions to the response of this pandemic and to help protect our communities and
residents from the impacts of the pandemic. There is still much to be done, and time and
caution will be needed to achieve a lasting control of the pandemic in our communities;
however it is through our collective efforts that we will proceed to a safer and healthier state in
Simcoe Muskoka.
Sincerely,
