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.

Council Meeting Agenda - May 26, 2021
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.

Cc: Council Agenda comments
To: Members of Oro-Medonte Council,
I live on the 9th line north of the township and have lived here for some 13 years. I value
the privilege of being able to do so and to enjoy the township's natural wonders. What
mars my enjoyment of living here from time to time is the behaviour of some members of
council, particularly in matters of leadership and character. To address those matters the
township in its wisdom adopted a Code of Conduct for members of council. It set a
standard of what I call Decent Behaviour expected from council members.
I have carefully reviewed the May 14, 2021 Recommendation Report of the Township's
Integrity Commissioner, and the letter of April 30, 2021 from councillor Keane's counsel,
Mr. H.G. Elston to the Integrity Commissioner. It is abundantly clear from the Report that
Councillor Keane misled the Commissioner's investigation, did not tell the truth on a
number of significant issues, threatened members of the Horseshoe Valley Property
Owners Association, and one can infer still does not understand the consequences of her
behaviour. Namely, she clearly breached the core of the Township's Code of Conduct,
and not just in a superficial way. It is ironic that a main proponent of the Township's bylaw
to control allegedly pesky questions by township residents can be so blind to her own
unacceptable conduct. She has lost all credibility to be an effective member of council.
The honourable thing that council can do is to urge Cathy Keane to resign.

Subject: Ward 3 Oro-Medonte Councillor Cathy Keane - Oro-Medonte Council meeting
May 26, 2021
To: The Mayor and Councillors of the Township of Oro-Medonte
I am a resident of Ward 4, address
2002 Line 9 North, Oro-Medonte.
I have read the Recommendation Report by Principles Integrity, the Integrity
Commissioner for our Township concerning the Complaint Against Councillor Keane (May
14, 2021) and the letter by the lawyer who made representation on her behalf during her
testimony under summons by the Integrity Commissioner on this matter (April 30, 2021).
1 am troubled by the unauthorized sharing of the private password for access to the AGM
of the Horseshoe Valley Property Owners'
Association first, by the son of Mayor Harry Hughes with him, then by the Mayor with
Councillor Keane, and by Councillor Keane with her husband - this was a private meeting
of members, by invitation only on February 3, 2021 and use of the password to eavesdrop
on the meeting is, in my view, a breach of honourable behaviour and a trespass on
private communication.
The Councillor didn't tell the truth to the Commissioner when asked how she obtained a
video of the AGM, and whether she viewed the meeting as it proceeded, or on a
recording, she still trespassed on private proceedings.
Having read the letter she sent to the board of the HVPOA on February 8, 2021, 1 agree
that the tone of the letter was indeed threatening, inferring that the information the board
was providing members was intentionally misleading and demanding correction or
retraction, with the statement that she should be "taking this matter to Council with a
recommended action". Whatever that recommended action would be, she clearly
expected consequences for noncompliance.
I believe these actions by the Councillor fall below the standard of honesty and integrity
that ratepayers expect of their elected representative.
This Councillor debates and votes on matters that have impact on all residents of this
Township. She demanded a Code of Conduct for ratepayers of this Township, such that
our reputations were smeared in the national press. We demand that she conform to the
Code of Conduct that applies to our Township representatives.
If a proportionate response is not given by the Council for these breaches of ethics and
standards of performance, it reflects badly on the Mayor and the entire Council. I believe
that an appropriate response is for Councillor Keane to resign.

Subject: Councillor Keane and Mayor Hughes resignation
Good evening,
On behalf of myself and Chris Formela, who ARE HVPOA members in good standing.
Regarding the investigation into Councillor Keane's actions in February 2021 during the
HVPOA AGM and her subsequent activities. I draw your attention to the opening
paragraph of the invitation.
As a HVPOA Member in good standing you are invited to attend the Annual General
Meeting (AGM) of the Members. Due to the pandemic, the meeting will be held
virtually. To access the meeting domestically or internationally, by computer or
phone, please follow the instructions below.
Mayor Hughes had NO right to send this to Ms. Keane, nor did Ms. Keane have any right
to use the link to which she was NOT entitled. Sending it to her personal email and any
actions subsequent to that is simply noise.
We live in an electronic world. We've all received errant emails that should be deleted or
returned to sender identifying the error. That did not happen here.
Trust. Honesty. Integrity. Transparency.
Mayor Hughes and Councillor Keane have displayed none of the above, should resign
and apologize for their actions. Of greater concern is that we suspect this isn't the first
time. Councillor Keane's dishonesty seemed far too comfortable.
Sincerely
Donna Robinson & Chris Formela

To Mayor and Councillors,
In light of the recent situation, whereby Ms. Keane has breached the township code of
conduct and has demonstrated a clear misuse of her office, her actions have created
concerns of mistrust.
It is my feeling that Ms. Keane should resign as an elected official.

Subject:Agenda Item 15A-C. Keane
Councillors and Mayor -
I am writing to express my concern regarding the Integrity Commissioner Complaint and
subsequent report regarding Councillor Cathy Keane.
I have read the report in full - along with the letter from Mrs. Keane's lawyer and can
express that what I conclude from reviewing all this information that Mrs. Keane has
overstepped her position and is basically dishonest and unable to accept the
consequences of her actions.
Personally I cannot see any reason to try and rationalize such behaviour other than an
attempt to refuse responsibility and consequences. Trying to protect her husband and the
Mayor is a pretty lame reason to misrepresent and mislead a legal investigation into her
actions that impact a significant number of people in Oro Medonte!! She got caught and
she's trying to cry fowl. The victim card has been played. Well sorry, but any rational
person would see right through this. I think if she had just apologized this would have
settled down. Feels a little like the shenanigans South of the Border. Next will she cry
"Witch hunt", "it's all rigged". ?
To my eyes it seems that the Mayor fed her the HVPOA meeting information in the hopes
that she somehow gather information about the meeting. Why? - what would be so
important that this clandestine effort would be set into motion? Why would the Mayor
think it is ok to do that?
I would hope that Council will see this for what it is. I watch meetings from time to time
and it's pretty obvious to the regular Joe that there is a Trio of Councillors who band
together. I would think that if any one of these three have political ambitions they would
call this out for what it is. Don't paint yourself with this brush!
The Mayor should not be part of any decisions regarding this issue. He is part of the
puzzle.
At this point I would only want to see Cathy Keane step down. Any apology at this point
would be seen as an insincere attempt to save face.

Greetings Mayor Harry Hughes and Council,
My name is Tim Taylor and I am a resident of Oro-Medonte.
On March 1, 2019, significant changes were made to Ontario's municipal governments. Under Bill
68, the Modernizing Ontario's Municipal Legislation Act, 2017, municipalities were required to:
• Establish Codes of Conduct for members of Council
• Appoint an Integrity Commissioner
Within the provisions of Bill 68, "Integrity Commissioners were afforded more discretion to
conduct inquires and conduct independent inquiries into allegations of conflict of interest
against council or local board members under the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act(MCIA)
and, where the Commissioner considers it appropriate, to bring proceedings before a court".
(Hicks Morley, 2018,p.l)
Background
On January 1, 2018, the Principles Integrity was appointed the Integrity Commissioner for the
Township of Oro-Medonte.
On December 9, 2020, during a debate on an agenda item "Code of Conduct for Councillors",
Councillor Keane presented a motion (not on the agenda)to create a Code of Conduct for the
Public, citing that certain individuals and/or groups were being vexatious, defamatory, and wasters
of public time, staff, money, and resources.
On January 4, 2021, Councillor Keane stated in correspondence to me that "Neither you, nor the
Task Force[Zone I Water Integration Plan Focus Group]members were in my mind when I
used the example of 10 individuals." She went on to say that "I feel there are at least 10
individuals that are culprits."
On February 8, 2021, Councillor Cathy Keane sent HVPOA an "aggressive and accusatory"letter
(deemed such in the Principles Integrity Final Report).
Page 10 of 348
2.b) Agenda Comments Received.
Within the Principles Integrity Final Report, they stated that "We find that the Councillor's
threat, made in the form of an ultimatum, was an improper attempt to exert the influence of her
office to coerce the HVPOA executive to issue different information to its members."(Principles
Integrity, 2021,p.6 Principles Integrity) This statement alone needs more public scrutiny given the
serious nature of the allegations and the relationship to the ongoing disputes over water and
wastewater issues in Horseshoe Valley.
On February 26, 2021, a Decision Notification stated that "As the Township's head pursuant to
MFIPPA, I have determined on reasonable grounds that the Requests are `frivolous and
vexatious'."As Lead Researcher for the Task Force and now Research Director for the Oro
Medonte Property Owner's Association (OMPOA) , I was taken aback by this determination given
Councillor Keane's comments on January 4, 2021 that we [me and the Zone I Township-vetted
Task Force] were not considered to be `frivolous, vexatious, and wasters of*Township
resources".
As the Lead Researcher for the Township-vetted Task Force, I was tasked with the job of bringing
to the surface public record information regarding the water systems in Horseshoe Valley. To save
countless requests from concerned water users, the Zone I Township-vetted Task Force found it
expedient and time-saving to avoid redundancy with the view of saving money and time for all
concerned.
On April 30, 2021, Cathy Keane's legal Counsel, H.G. Elston responded to the Preliminary
Findings Report. It should be noted that the H.G Elson letter was submitted to Principles Integrity
during the course of the investigation and was taken into account as the Principles Integrity
finalized the report and prepared their Final Recommendations.
Please question Councillor Keane's motives when she asked that this letter be added to the agenda
for the Council meeting on Wednesday, May 26, 2021(Reguest). It has caused some confusion for
individuals in the public. Confusion arises from the fact that the Principles Integrity Final Report
could be mixed up with her own legal defense letter which has Integrity Commissioner in the
letterhead. The Recommendations in both documents are completely opposite.
However, there should be NO confusion, for the H.G. Elston letter was examined two weeks
before the Principles Integrity Final Report was presented to the Township of Oro-Medonte,
Councillor Keane and her legal Counsel.
It is ironic that Councillor Keane's actions, as so methodically outlined in the Principles Integrity
Final Report, goes against everything she railed against when she proposed the Code of Conduct
for the Public on December 9, 2020.
My Request
Based on the serious nature of the information provided to the public, I would like to see the
following come to pass regarding the Principles Integrity Final Report:
1. That H.G. Elston's letter of April 30, 2021 be ignored and put aside on the basis that it was
incorporated into the Final Report of May 14, 2021 by the Principals Integrity.
2. That Council ask for Councillor Keane's immediate resignation given that she has allegedly
broken the Public Trust by being dishonest throughout this entire process.
Page 11 of 348
2.b) Agenda Comments Received.
3. That Councillor Keane be asked to apologize to the public regarding her alleged actions.
4. That an independent Public Inquiry be initiated by Council regarding circumstances related to
but not excluding the alleged actions of Councillor Keane. Note: The original Word document that
was sent to the HVPOA on February 8, 2021 had a digital signature. The "author"of the document
on February 8, 2021 @ 3:37 PM was a person named "Harry". On February 8, 2021 @ 3:48 PM,
the Word document was "Last Modified by Keane, Cathy".
Given the serious nature of this Report and the fact that another individual by the name of "Harry"
allegedly participated in this effort, Council should initiate an immediate investigation regarding
the circumstances leading to this letter delivered to the HVPOA by Cathy Keane on February 8,
2021.
5. Given the serious nature of the Principles Integrity Final Report, it seems entirely appropriate
for Council to initiate a Public Inquiry into ALL of the events which precipitated Councillor
Keane's alleged efforts and alleged actions.
Moreover, a Public Inquiry needs to be initiated regarding the water and wastewater systems in
Horseshoe Valley dating back to 1990 — "The purported misinformation and misrepresentations
arise out of a water and wastewater rate issue".
With respect and with great concern,

I have had the opportunity of reviewing the Integrity Commissioner's report, the letter from

Subject: Councilor Cathy Keane
Dear Mr. Hughes and All Council Members,
I live in the High Vista Estates enclave of townhouses and Cathy Keane is our
Councilor. I find Ms Keane's behaviour and actions surrounding the HVPOA AGM
reprehensible. Not long ago, Councilor Keane addressed a Council Meeting with her
views of how we - the public who voted her in and whom she serves - should conduct
ourselves and I believe a Policy was approved at the time for the conduct of the public..
Councilor Keane cannot call out her constituents for their behaviour if she is not willing to
uphold Council's and, indeed, her own personal code of conduct.
Elected officials of our Township must behave in exemplary fashion and I think that the
Integrity Commission's advice to reprimand Councilor Keane and that the information
should be on the Township's website, is a very light slap on the hand. I believe that Ms
Keane should be asked to resign her position. She has lost what faith we had in her, she
has taken advantage of her position and she is manipulative and dishonest. We will never
trust her again.
Respectfully submitted,
Kathryn Henkenhaf

Cathy Keane must be asked to resign from Council, given
that the Principles Integrity Report has concluded that she
is dishonest! Her conduct has been shown to be unethical
and unacceptable. To allow her to continue in office would
be equally unacceptable and unjustifiable as it would
condone dishonest behaviour.
There must be a more detailed investigation into the
conduct of all the individuals mentioned by the Integrity
Commissioner.
Please confirm that my letter will be included in the material
presented at this coming Wednesday's meeting.
Thank you.

Subject: Integrity Commissioner's Recommendations
I have been reading some correspondence regarding the Integrity Commissioners report on the activities of
one of your councillors, as well as other documents circulating in the community.
There appears to be a lot of background not discussed in these documents that I can only guess at, but if
so, it only makes the whole issue more sordid in my opinion.
Of course our elected officials should be held to a high standard of ethical behaviour as they are being
entrusted to act on our behalf. And the cost of that trust is to be held to an even higher standard.
What I find particularly disturbing is the councillor in question appears to be the one who apparently
championed a code of conduct for members of the public. Yes, the community members should act
respectfully and be guided by ethical principles as should members of council. But now one could be
cynical and question whether council members wanted to shut down angry members of the public because
their own behaviour is open to question.
Sigh, when one becomes cynical about the political process then the whole civil contract is in danger. The
best way to salvage the situation in my opinion is to respect the Integrity Commissioner's recommendations
and send a message that everyone has to be more careful in the future.

Councillor Keane is lacking in professional conduct and does not show any signs of

Also, dealings with ATV, parks, pathways and walkways has not been an open dialogue

I hope the council has the courage to make the correct decision based on the Integrity

Subject: Integrity Commission
I am emailing to express my concerns and frankly dismay at the results of the Integrity
Commission investigation of the appalling behaviour of Councillor Keane. An apology made at a
virtual council meeting is hardly even a recognition of the egregious behaviour of this councillor.
These deceitful and bullying tactics are beneath anyone let alone a member of our township
council. Not only has she destroyed any faith and trust her constituents may have had but it also
reflects the rest of council in an unfavourable light and undermines the faith that other ward
residents might have in their representative, mayor and deputy mayor.
Councillors in Barie and Midland whose actions were far less deceptive and fraudulent were dealt
with more harshly by their peers. I should hope that our council will see fit to reprimand this
councillor if not by asking for her resignation, then at the least financially sanctioning her and
billing her for any cost incurred by the township due to her lying and obstructing the investigation
by the commission.
My next concern is regarding the role that you Mayor Hughes has played in this incident. Why
would you forward this information to Councillor Keane if you did not expect her to use it? Did
you silently attend this meeting to which neither of you were invited? Did any other councillors
receive this information from you and if not than why not? Is it a practice that other associations
can expect from council? Why would this councillor record this meeting? One might think that
"Big Brother" is listening.
It is important for the members of HVOPA to know if any other electronic devices that are
attached to council or township staff that logged into the meeting. Is it a practice for a councillor
to record the AGM? I would think that it would be similar to a resident recording your in-camera
sessions.
I believe the decision of the Integrity Commission needs to be revisited to reflect the seriousness
of Councillor Keane actions, subsequent lying
and obstructing the investigation. It would also be prudent to investigate the possibility of
involvement of yourself and other councillors in this shameful occurrence.
Unfortunately, it would appear that council views their residents as suspect rather than the
people that they took an oath to serve.
Sincerely, Lillian

Attention: Oro-Medonte Council
Re: Integrity Commissioner Investigation of Councillor Cathy Keane.
Dear Members of Council,
I have been a resident of Oro-Medonte at the above address for 46 years and cannot
recall a more troubling incident involving a member of Council and a very reputable
community group than the recent situation between Councillor Keane and the Horseshoe
Valley Property Owners Association (HVPOA).
After reading the Integrity Commissioner's Report, Cathy Keane's Feb. 8th letter to the
HVPOA and her lawyer's letter, I find Councillor Keane's behaviour throughout to be
dishonest, deceitful and hypocritical of her boldly proffered position on Codes of Conduct.
In my opinion, through her own actions and the involvement of others, she has brought
disgrace to the entire Oro-Medonte Council and is undeserving to continue as a member
of Council. I am therefore, requesting that Councillor Keane resign immediately of her
own accord or be dismissed through a formal motion at the May 26th Council meeting.
Further, that Councillor Keane and Mayor Hughes recuse themselves from voting on the
motion to avoid a conflict of interest.
Respectfully,
Allan Baker

Gentlemen and Ladies:
I am astounded and outraged after reading the IC's report regarding Ms Keane and the HVPOA.
Ms Keane's behaviour is most reprehensible in every sense of the word.
I would urge Council to do several things please, absent a vote or input from Mayor Hughes and Ms Keane:
1—Request and demand if necessary Ms Keane's immediate resignation
2— Impose a monetary penalty on Ms Keane
3 - Communicate Council's disdain for Ms Keane's behaviour to the HVPOA,the public via the O-M
website and notify the media accordingly
4—Conduct a further investigation into the behaviour or involvement of any other Council members or
Oro-Medonte Township staff in this affair.
Thank you in advance,

Council,
Having read the "Principles Integrity Report" I feel that as first step Ms Keane must be removed
voluntarily or involuntarily from Council followed by further inquiry into the issue to determine
the involvement of others.
Candidates stood before us during the election asking us to trust them with our vote. That trust has
been betrayed by some!
In order to begin to restore some trust, anyone who enabled this incident must also be removed
from Oro-Medonte employment, voluntarily or involuntarily, regardless of their position.

Ward 3 Councillor Cathy Keane in her repeated lies, deceit, contempt; her threats, and her obstructive
tactics to the Integrity Commission, and her subsequent showing of no remorse for her actions, needs to
immediately resign from Council.
She has seriously dishonoured herself! If she continues to serve on Council she in fact will dishonour the
Council at large. From this moment on, how can any member of the Oro-Medonte public trust the Council to
honestly carry out its work or respect any decision made by Council as long as she remains a member of
Council!
This councillor can no longer be trusted to perform her duties as an unbiased elected official, and if she fails
to immediately resign she should be given the harshest of penalties that may be legally employed - including
sanctions, recusals, disqualification to serve on committees, or an ability to represent Oro-Medonte at any
official function or activity.

Councilor Keane's conduct is highly disturbing. I would like to think that the mere
daylighting of this issue as described by the Integrity Commission could be sufficient
consequence that would result in improved conduct by Councilor Keane but with all the
evidence finally exposed and the deceitfulness involved it would appear highly unlikely. A
"formal reprimand" is letting her off lightly in my view. Her action is one matter, her
response following discovery is another matter which deserves more severe action.

Subject: Good morning-This letter is in regard to the matter of AGENDA ITEM 15:Cathy Keane, the
Integrity Commissioner's Report
and the manner in which our Mayor, Harry Hughes reportedly have conducted themselves.
I ask that this letter be read aloud at the Council meeting of May 28th,2021 or that I may be able to
read it via zoom
I have carefully read the Integrity report. Their investigation (as far as their mandate took them)
undermines my confidence per the honesty and methods of my representatives to conduct
themselves on my behalf. Elected officials are given a sacred trust and we the people have
expectations of a high level of morality and integrity that we invest in.
I strongly suggest Ms. Keane be censured in a meaningful way. She has offered no apology for her
actions and seems to have lied to the Integrity Commission while covering up her behaviors during
questioning. I consider this to be egregious enough for her to tender her resignation immediately.
Should she not be censured more harshly the Council as a whole would seem to be in agreement
that such behaviour is acceptable to the them.
I find some irony in this unfortunate episode. Councilor Keane herself claimed public harassment
and Councilor Keane introduced an amendment to the Council Code of Conduct to impose a Code
of Conduct on the public, Perhaps she needs to clarify how this code of conduct is represented by
her example. Flagrantly she disregarded Council's own Code of Conduct she swore to uphold.
I would also call into question the motives of our Mayor in passing along information to Ms. Keane
which enabled her to illegally enter a private meeting and vote on an issue she was not entitled to.
How are the voters to perceive Mayor Hughes actions? I suggest the Mayor explain his reasons for
doing so.
The Integrity Commissioner's Report has uncovered a breach of trust and unless Council takes
steps to appropriately repair their good name and reputation I see only more of the cynicism the
public has of politicians.

Having read the Principles Integrity Report re: Cathy Keene I am shocked by her dishonesty and lack of
remorse. I do not believe a reprimand is sufficient - she should, be asked to resign.
Furthermore, I believe the ratepayers deserve a more detailed public investigation to restore trust between
Council and the constituents you are privileged to serve, especially given that the original inappropriate
document to the HVPOA on February 8, 2021 was "authored"by someone by the name of "Harry"!
This is a litmus test, members of Council who do not take this very egregious behaviour seriously and
sanction Ms Keane appropriately are complicit.

Ward 1
TO: Mayor Harry Hughes,
Members of Oro- Medonte Township Council
May 24, 2021
1 am a resident and taxpayer of Oro-Medonte.
I am deeply disturbed by the Integrity Commissioner's report regarding the investigation
into conduct by Councillor Cathy Keane regarding HVPOA's AGM, and I find the conduct
as reported to be egregious on several counts.
First, the Mayor saw fit to forward to some Councillors the HVPOA AGM meeting access
information when no Councillor, including Mayor Hughes, was apparently invited to the
AGM, or directly received this information.
Councillor Keane — or her husband — assumed the right to record the meeting without
authorization, and misrepresented themselves online to participate in the HVPOA AGM,
including casting one or more votes. (I personally often send texts and emails while
attending an online meeting. There is no alibi here.)
It was deemed "excusable" that Councillor Keane would "mislead and obfuscate" the
Integrity Commissioner's investigation. Reference: the letter from Councillor Keane's
lawyer
How can it be argued by the Mayor or any Councillor at the Council meeting on
Wednesday, May 26, that this impartially investigated breach of conduct by Councillor
Keane is in any way "excusable" from the full weight of sanctions under the Municipal Act?
How is it that the Integrity Commissioner who conducted the investigation has apparently
concluded that at least some Oro-Medonte Council members consider HVPOA, a home-
owners' Association, " a political threat"? Reference: Integrity Commissioner's report item
#99.
How could the Mayor or any Councillor who passively or actively condones this conduct
expect that an educated voter in Oro-Medonte would accept that a citizen's Association is
Page 26 of 348
2.b) Agenda Comments Received.
viewed as a "political threat" and that unethical conduct by an elected Councillor is
therefore justifiable?
I look to the Oro-Medonte Township Council, under the leadership of Mayor Hughes, to
start to address on Wednesday, May 26, what is clearly a lack of ethical conduct towards
citizens and taxpayers in this jurisdiction. A good start would be for the Oro-Medonte
Council to impose sanctions on Councillor Keane on the basis of the findings of this
Report, and to issue a letter of apology from Council to the President and members of
HVPOA under the signature of Mayor Hughes.

Subject: Council Meeting May 26 Agenda Item 15a)
When I read the HVPOA's recount of the AGM held last February and Councillor
Keane's letter to the association, I was amazed that an elected official would be
that publicly accusatory and threatening. To warn the association that if they did not
respond to her misinformation to her satisfaction, she would use the influence of her
office to presumably force the HVPOA to bow to her outrageous demands.
After reading the Integrity Commissioner's report I was further shocked to learn she
obstructed the investigation and misrepresented how she obtained the recording of the
HVPOA meeting. She had to be served a summons to compel her to provide
information, and possibly the most alarming revelation is that throughout the
investigation she did not acknowledge that her actions were inappropriate.
Councillor Keane violated the Township's own Code of Conduct, it is
clear, and absolutely ironic, that not long ago she introduced a Code of Conduct for the
citizens of Oro-Medonte.
This is not the behavior that the residents of Oro-Medonte are accustomed to, or
deserve. Given the comments of the Integrity Commissioner's report citing that she did
not acknowledge that her actions were inappropriate, must we now expect this
questionable behaviour will continue, and is acceptable to this Council?
Elected representatives of the people must be held to a higher standard than she has
demonstrated. Honesty, trust and integrity are of utmost importance in this role. A
simple reprimand will be absolutely insufficient.
Council has a choice to either condone this outrageous behaviour, or do the right thing
and serve her with the maximum reprimand available.
I trust you will make the right choice.

Re: Cathy Keane and Integrity. Item 15 May 26 Council Agenda
What Cathy Keane did was dishonest and deliberate. That is not just my opinion, it is
factual as shown in the Integrity Commissioner's Investigation and Report. Her multiple
and disproven versions of who else was involved and how that crime was committed and
her hiring of a lawyer suggests that she still doesn't recognize the seriousness of what she
did. Her lawyer did his best to diffuse the situation but concedes she did lie misleadingly.
Ironically, Keane claims that the reason for her actions was to prevent HVPOA from
providing misleading information to its members.
The penalty should fit the crime but a formal reprimand or a monetary penalty will serve
no purpose or change Cathy Keane's unethical tendencies. She should be strongly urged
by Council to resign and to not seek public office again.

Subject: Conduct of Cathy Keane
To Members of Council
I have read the original letter Councillor Keane wrote the HVPOA surrounding the AGM meeting,
the subsequent response by the HVPOA to her allegations, the Integrity Commission's report as
well as her lawyer's letter submitted April 30. 1 have also attended AGM meetings in the past
where matters such as elections are held, budgets are approved and information shared. As
much as it is a business meeting, is also a kind of social gathering. The Mayor has attended these
meetings usually to offer words of welcome and appreciation to the Board for their work in the
Community as well as sometimes briefing us on some matters confronting the whole of the
County. We have also had Councillors for Ward 1 and 3 in attendance. Obviously because of
COVID, the AGM this year was held in a very different format. It was not the usual AGM but a
pared down version held virtually to ensure essential matters be addressed. Members of the
HVPOA in good standing were sent the link and the password to attend the meeting.
I was quite puzzled by Councilor Keane's original assertion that a long time resident had
forwarded her a copy of the HVPOA AGM meeting asking for her opinion on various subjects that
were raised during the meeting, the result of which was her letter to the HVPOA making pretty
derogatory accusations as to the honesty and transparency of the HVPOA. Later it was revealed
by the Integrity Commission that the story was a complete fabrication and this more than calls
into question her integrity and suitability to continue to serve on council. How ironic that
Councilor Keane was responsible for demanding the Code of Conduct for the Public when she is
clearly lacking a moral compass directing her own actions especially in hiding the truth and
making veiled threats against the HVPOA. I question not only her ethics but her motives; why
indeed had she effectively spied on the HVPOA.
What is equally, if not more troubling, is how and why she got the original information on the link
and password to the HVPOA AGM. The Integrity Commission report said that the link to the AGM
and password had been forwarded to her, and other councillors, by Mayor Harry Hughes. While I
assumed this had been common practice by the HVPOA to inform the Mayor and Councillors of
upcoming meetings, I have subsequently learned that this in fact was never the case. It was
stated that Mayor Hughes' son, a resident here in Horseshoe Valley,forwarded the information to
his father, though the reason behind this is not clear. That Mayor Hughes took what he knew to
be "privileged" information, clearly intended only for members of the HVPOA in good
standing, and then forwarded it to others is questionable and disturbing. He did not have
permission to share this information nor the right to do so. I believe that we should know the

motivation behind his actions in sharing confidential information and that he too be held
accountable.
I am both disappointed and saddened by the action of Councilor Keane for attempting to spy on
and discredit the Board of Directors of the HVPOA and then subsequently cover up the truth and
lie to the investigators. I am equally disappointed in our Mayor who passed on information to
which he was clearly not entitled. People not only expect honesty, integrity and transparency
from their representatives on council, they demand it.

Attention: Mayor Hughes& Council Members
RE: Councilor Cathy Keane-Ward 3-Report by the Integrity Commission (p166 through p195)-Code of
Conduct breach.
Agenda Item 15 a)on the May 26 Council Meeting.
In reading the recent HVPOA eNews and the Integrity Commissioner Report of April 30, 2021 -
Regarding Ward 3, Councillor Cathy Keane, is very disturbing and the behaviour exhibited is very
unprofessional, disappointing & deeply concerning going forward.
This Report and content must be an Embarrassment to the Township and her own Ward 3
Constituents to see what kind of Elected Official conducts herself in this manner!
The IC Report is very conclusive and speaks for itself, finding Councillor Keane in breach of the
Township Code of Conduct, with consequences.
Additionally, I have concerns over Councillor Keane's conduct and behaviour visibly, during
numerous council meetings virtually & even Facebook postings, specifically the unethical verbal
attacks on Councillor Veitch, Ward 1 and anything that refers to the business or Development in
Horseshoe Valley. At a minimum, as indicated in the recommendations of the IC Report,
Councillor Keane should Recuse herself from Voting on any issues specific to Horseshoe
Valley &Ward 1.
It's ironic to me that Councillor Keane was instrumental in introducing a Code of Conduct for
Citizens! Quite the offender herself!
Going forward, Councillor Keane cannot be trusted to perform her duties in an unbiased
requirement as an elected official, for the betterment of the Township and should be reprimanded
or better still, Resign immediately & not be allowed to hold any other Public Office within the
Township.
It is time for Mayor Hughes to rein in the Council to work as a Team and go in the same direction -
not be so fractured and disconnected.

Ratepayers need a more detailed investigation as to who authored the original

Subject: Integrity Commissioner Item 15(a), May 26 agenda
On February 24,2021 , the Ontario Integrity Commissioner received a formal complaint
from HVPOA against Oro-Medonte Ward 3, Councillor, Cathy Keane. The report of the
commission was released on Friday May 21 ,2021.
The Integrity Commissioner wrote, " it was the first time we have felt it necessary to
administer an oath in the course of an investigation." (60). This is very telling of the
concern and gravity of this situation and it is a very important and serious matter.
Further, the Commissioner wrote, "the Councillor ignored, deflected and misrepresented".
(68) This behaviour is reprehensible in anyone and in an elected public servant it is much
worse.
Thirdly, the Commissioner wrote" It is fair to perceive this statement as a threat, although
it is not entirely clear what is being threatened. But even an empty threat is a threat." (88)
It is never reasonable to threaten a group or individual. This type of conduct is a serious
breach of the norms of social conduct.
In bullet 93, the commissioner presented " the facts: that the HVPOA had not, at any time
during the AGM, misrepresented or misinformed its membership; that the Councillor's
letter was aggressive and accusatory, and erroneous." Clearly the Commissioner is
pointing out where the truth is.
The conclusion is that the code of conduct was breached. In addition, the investigation
was hampered by the changing narrative from the Councillor and the need for an oath to
arrive at the facts. In any other field of employment, interfering with an investigator's
efforts would result in immediate termination for cause. This should be the sanction
administered in this situation.

Subject: Concerns re: Cathy Keane
Good day,
I have recently become aware of the actions taken by Councillor Cathy Keane that were facilitated
by Mayor Harry Hughes and his son. I only partially agree with the recommendations of the
Principles Integrity report. They did not go far enough. I would ask that the Council demand
Councillor Keane's resignation from Council along with a penalty of at least 25% of her
Councillor's remuneration. I would also ask that Mayor Hughes be reprimanded for his facilitation
of her behaviour with a penalty of 10-25% of his Mayor's remuneration.
In addition to any penalties or reprimands decided upon by Council, any and all legal costs
incurred for this matter by Councillor Keane and Mayor Hughes should be paid by them
personally. The tax payers of Oro-Medonte should not bear the burden of the legal cost to defend
for Councillor Keane's lying and inappropriate behaviour.
Please note that I view if as essential that both Councillor Keane and Mayor Hughes recuse
themselves from any Council debates and discussions regarding this issue.
Regardless of the specific decisions for the eventual reprimands and penalties, above and beyond
the normal publication of Minutes, Council actions should be formally published in the local news
papers and online news outlets to ensure that the citizens of Oro-Medonte can individually assess
the character of their elected officials.

Brian

>> We are owners of a house in a small part of Horseshoe Valley at the Heights under
Cathy Keane's representation.
>> After reading the Integrity Commissioner's report we find the conduct of this Councillor
nothing short of disgraceful! The Commission concluded Ms Keane's actions as being
underhanded, deceitful and in breach of the rules of conduct expected of our Oro-
Medonte councillors. Her continued denials of any wrongdoings until after having been
forced to provide facts under oath, is unforgivable!
>> Since her tenure on Council, we have come to believe that her overall perspective of
what goes on in the "Valley" is negative and disingenuous. In concerns brought forward,
for example, items such as ATV traffic, and zoning requests, her comments appear to
have been for the most part unsupportive and with little regard for our concerns.
>> Public servants are expected to be ethical, transparent and trustworthy
representatives of the people they serve! The Commissioner's report clearly suggests that
Ms Keane's behavior does not align with these expectations. We no longer have any trust
in her leadership. Being found guilty as charged, and with her integrity clearly discredited,
Ms Keane should do the honorable thing and simply resign from this critical position of
public trust!
>> If her resignation is not received, then at the very minimum, she should be recused
from any item relating to Horseshoe Valley as her apparent disdain and lack of objectivity
for the Valley is widespread among its residents!
>> Respectfully,
>> John and Ann McGee

Hello
Ms Keene should be held accountable for her actions. The disregard to the oath of office
she took, is totally unacceptable.
1. She should be asked to resign, immediately
2. Made to payback all costs incurred by the town in retaining a highly paid lawyer to
represent a foolhardy, frivolous defense of allegations that were so obviously accurate.
3. Ms Keene at the very least recuse her self from any decisions involving Horseshoe
Valley and the HVPOA as she obviously has a bias towards Horseshoe Valley and it's
residents.
4. If the resignation is not forthcoming an investigation into the true motive behind the
actions of Ms Keene and spouse should be conducted.
Mayor Hughes should also asked to explain his roll in this fiasco, and to why he choose to
forward the HVPOA meeting link to Ms Keene, to me this seem far from appropriate as he
was not a member or invitee, and should not have been in possession of the said link.
Regards
Colin Johnson

Hough Councillors: Randy Greenlaw, Ian Veitch, Shawn Scott, Tammy
deSousa, Cathy Keane Re: Principles Integrity Report / The resignation of
Councillor Cathy Keane As a taxpayer of Oro-Medonte I was extremely
disappointed to read of the conduct of Councillor Cathy Keane. I ask that you
follow the facts when reviewing the Principles Integrity Report. ( Item # 15 on
your agenda ) Principles Integrity Report highlights: [49] Councillor Keane
has admitted that her email was used to log on to the HVPOA AGM. [51] Not
until Councillor Keane was under oath did she admit that the email from the
HVPOA inviting members to participate in the AGM was forwarded to her
Township email by Mayor Hughes [59] Initially, Councillor Keane advised that
her husband had not recorded the AGM, but she had obtained a copy of the
video on a USB stick from a friend/acquaintance. That story turned out not to
be true. [61] Under oath, Councillor Keane advised us that there never was a
USB stick with a recording of the AGM, that there was no
friend/acquaintance who provided it. [68] Councillor Keane, ... ... ignored,
deflected and misrepresented. [69] Councillor Keane's letter of February 8,
2021 suggesting she was coming to the aid of a longtime resident,
demonstrates that she was well-aware that the participation from her email
was one of an unauthorized interloper. [70] We found that the Councillor
attempted to obfuscate and obstruct our investigation. [73] ... . the Councillor
intentionally misled us, gave two different accounts of how she was able to
view the AGM, and resisted our attempts to corroborate her story. F%We do
Page 4 0 34
2.b) Agenda Comments Received.
not accept the Councillor's evidence that she did not receive the email from
the HVPOA requesting caprix101 ( C Keane's email ) to identify themselves.
[78] We find that Councillor Keane's assertion ( item # 77 Councillor Veitch
did not participate in the meeting ) is nothing more that a deflection. [83]
Neither Councillor Keane or her husband were invited to attend the AGM.
[88] Regarding Councillor Keane's "Aggressive, accusatory letter to HVPOA
an effort to exert improper use of influence" It is fair to perceive this
statement as a threat, ... ... . [108] We find that this conduct is contrary to the
Code of Conduct. [109] Moreover, we find that the Councillor's attempts to
mislead and obfuscate during our investigation is conduct contrary to the
Code of Conduct. It is very clear that there is a Code of conduct for members
of council. In fact it is legislated in the Modernizing Ontario's Municipal
Legislation Act ( 2017 ). Integrity is not an option being a member of a
municipal council. The actions of Councillor Keane has destroyed her
integrity. Councillor Keane's lawyer points out she only has 26 residents in
the HVPOA area who are members of her Ward. You would not be surprised
that ratepayers throughout the entire township of Oro-Medonte are aware of
this investigation. All residents of Oro-Medonte remember - Councillor Keane
introduced the motion to create a Code of Conduct for the Public ! As the
current members of Township of Oro-Medonte council, I ask that you take
the appropriate action and ask for the resignation of Councillor Cathy Keane.
Whether we like it or not, this investigation reflects on the reputation of the
entire council. If Councillor Keane refuses, then I suggest you suspend her
from council for the remainder of her term. The residents of Ward 3, and the
residents of Oro-Medonte deserve and expect a higher standard of
leadership.
Sincerely,
Tom Fendley

Subject: May 26, 2021 Council Agenda Item 15: the Integrity Commissioner's Report
Dear Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Councillors,
RE: May 26, 2021 Council Agenda Item 15: the Integrity Commissioner's Report
This e-mail is for the purposes of providing comment on the public record to Item 15 of the
Oro-Medonte Council Agenda for May 26, 2021. The substance of this item is the
Integrity Commissioners' Report of May 14, 2021 that raises concerns with respect to
Council's conduct. In this regard, the first point to be made is that in the eyes of the public
the conduct of one or more members of Council is the conduct of Council as a
whole. Where unbecoming conduct is alleged and upheld then consent to, or implied
consent to, such conduct is the conduct of all Council.
The unbecoming conduct, that was alleged and upheld on the balance of probabilities,
was committed against an incorporated residents' association. There are several of these
in the Township, they are free-standing legal entities, their membership is conferred by
their own by-laws, their obligations are to the Corporations Act and that Act alone. They
are private, separate, and apart from any other entity. To pierce the sanctity of that
privacy is an egregious act. It should be lost on no one that this conduct included
fraudulent voting. Thus violating a foundational act of Democracy. For such conduct to
have been committed and/or abetted by Councillors elected by the public constitutes an
unparalleled breach of trust.
The residents' associations, incorporated or not, are a vibrant part of the community who
represent particular interests and desires of the diverse elements of our Township and
constitute its Civil Society. Associations are vital living organs of the body of
Democracy. When one organ is pierced, all organs are pierced. Council now holds the
piercing instrument in its hand.
What will Council do with that instrument? Residents will judge the character of this
Council by the measures taken towards the amends of;
• This injury to Democracy,
• This severe breach of trust,
• The likelihood that this will occur again,
0 The wrong and embarrassment that it has brought upon t%Du l'
age T2 of 348
2.b) Agenda Comments Received.
• Council's relationship with its residents of all ages,
• The deep reputational wound it has opened,
• The expectations that the public has of politicians,
• The injury to free and fair voting.
Council, the choice is yours, the eyes of the public are upon you.
Sincerely,
Peter Lavoie, President
Barrillia Park Ratepayers Association

Subject: C Kane behavior
Reading the information about the behavior of Cathy Kane has been very disturbing to us. It is our
expectation that council members will behave honorably and within the code of conduct. Ms. Kane
not only violated the code by lying, she did so repeatedly and over a period of time. The thought that
a reprimand is sufficient is incomprehensible. Someone who has behaved as she has on a
consistent basis should voluntarily resign and if this does not occur, she should be removed from
council.

Subject: Integrity Commissioner's Investigative Report on Councillor Cathy Keane
To Council and Mayor Hughes:
Clearly, there is an expectation among residents and ratepayers that our representatives on Council
are honest and ethical.
Most unfortunately, Cathy Keane's recent actions and behavior have been determined, by the
Integrity Commission, to be dishonest and unethical. After having carefully read through all the
related documentation, I have come to exactly the same conclusion. It is sad when our elected
officials [mayor included] are so lacking in morals and engage in —then deny—such unacceptable
behavior. Cathy Keane should have lost her job. In fact, she should have had the decency to
voluntarily resign.
A more detailed investigation and a Public Inquiry is clearly called for, in addition to requiring Cathy
Keane to resign. What else will Council do to re-establish our residents' trust in their elected
officials?

meeting regarding the report of the Township Integrity Commissioner on Councillor Keane
Thank you
Jane Brasher MD FRCP

Mr. Harry Hughes, Mayor
Mr. Ralph Hough, Deputy Mayor
Council Members of the Township of Oro Medonte
It is with deep concern that I write this letter to be included on the agenda of the May 26, 2021
Oro Medonte council meeting.
I refer to the Recommendation Report of the Township's Integrity Commissioner dated May 14,
2021. 1 have read this report in its entirety as well as the letter dated April 30, 2021 from
councillor Keane's counsel. Mr H G Elston to the Integrity Commissioner. I am aware that the
Recommendation Report takes into consideration the arguments posed by Mr HG Elston.
I understand councillor Keane breached the private meeting of the Horseshoe Valley Property
Owners A ssociation (HVPOA) held February 3, 2021 and I have read her letter sent to the HPVOA
dated February 8, 2021. 1 am also aware councillor Keane did not act alone in obtaining the
password for the HVPOA meeting nor in drafting her letter to the HVPOA.
Councillor Keane, who represents herself as a strong advocate of the Oro Medonte Township's
Code of Conduct, has breached this c od e of Conduct in a serious and reprehensible way.
Councillor Keane has obtained the password to a members only meeting of the HVPOA, used
that password to view the meeting and then sent a threatening letter to the HVPOA that contains
significant misrepresentation of the facts.
During the investigation of the complaint by the HVPOA to the Township Integrity Commissioner,
she repeatedly lied and obstructed the investigation to the point she required a summons and
swearing under oath to comply. She continues to seem oblivious to the nature
of her actions or the consequences. f find the arguments put forth by Mr H G Elston
unconvincing. Facts are facts and well laid out in the Recommendation Report of the Integrity
Commissioner.
After reading the documents as stated above I respectfully request
1. That councillor Keane and any other member of council involved in taini a faring of
the password to the HVPOA meeting or in the drafting of councillor �' 91 V the
2.b) Agenda Comments Received.
HVPOA recuse themselves from voting on this matter.
2. The council accept the recommendations of the Township Integrity Commissioner and
reprimand councillor Keane for her breach of the Code of Conduct of the Township of Oro
M o e
3. Councillor Keane apologize for her behaviour to the executive of the HVPOA in writing and
that this apology also be posted on the township's website
4. Councillor Keane be suspended from her duties for a minimum of three months
5. Council seriously consider requesting councillor Keane's resignation given the seriousness
of her actions and her lack of contrition.
As a taxpayer of Oro Medonte I would also appreciate confirmation that the legal services of Mr
H G Elston were not paid for by the township.
Members of council are elected by and paid by the residents and taxpayers of Oro Medonte. Itis
expected they bide by the Township's Code of Conduct without exception. You are our
representatives and should always strive for unbiased, courteous and respectful interaction with
all residents.
Thank you for your attention to this matter

Subject: Principles Integrity Final Report and Recommendations, Item 15 (a)
Mayor Hughes and Council
My name is Tom Kurtz and I am resident of Oro-Medonte.
Much has been written about the current scandal regarding the inappropriate and perhaps illegal
involvement of Councillor Cathy Keane and others in the AGM of the Horseshoe Valley Property
Owners Association. I don't wish to rehash that which has already been eloquently commented on by
others but instead would like to comment on some of the circumstances that allegedly compelled
Councillor Keane to comment on what she characterized as false and misleading information
presented at the AGM with respect to water and wastewater issues in Horseshoe Valley.
Water and wastewater issues in Horseshoe Valley have been a source of controversy in this
community for at least the past 2 decades. The most recent flair-up came in late 2019 when residents
of Zone 1 were informed that they would be integrated with the municipal Zone 2 system and they
would be required to pay a hook-up fee as they were considered to be new customers. Residents
objected to this characterization and the hook-up fee which was initially set at—$9800 . At the urging
of Councillor Veitch and agreement by the Township, a vetted Focus Group was established to
provide a forum for presentation and discussion of the facts around this characterization. On Mar. 13,
2020, the resident members of the Focus Group presented evidence that Zone 1 was now and had
always been a municipal system. The Township disagreed and inferred they would present evidence
that disputed this conclusion. Despite 2 years of research of over 500,000 pages of publicly available
documents and over 5000 hours of volunteer time, the Township staff and Council have refused to
answer queries or respond to reports which confirm the municipal nature of the Zone 1 system. This
is all being done under the guise of solicitor/client confidentiality. That concept only binds the
solicitor and not the client. Not only does that concept not bind the client but, by extension, Township
residents are the client as Council was elected to represent us.
How does all this relate to the accusations in Councillor Keane's letter? Perhaps had Council and staff
been more forthright in their release of information regarding the history of water and wastewater in
Horseshoe Valley, both sides in this dispute would have been better equipped to have an adult
conversation surrounding this issue and come to a conclusion based on facts rather than opinions. The
Township, by withholding key documents, has disrupted this conversation and may have intentionally
or inadvertently been the cause of any alleged misinformation provided at the AGM.
In addition to all the previously suggested penalties regarding Councillor Keane's and others
behaviours, I think a Judicial enquiry is in order as well as an OPP investigation into possible illegal
behaviour.
Respectfully submitted

Mayor Harry Hughes and Council:
In response to the Agenda item, Principles Integrity Final Report and Recommendations, Item 15
(a), I would like to formally express my strong disapproval of the alleged behaviour of
Ward 3 Councillor Keane.
The Township's Council Code of Conduct (March 1, 2019) states:
"The Council of the Township of Oro-Medonte is committed to achieving high standards of conduct
which is essential to maintain and ensure public trust and confidence in the Township's planning,
administration, and operations. Members of Council of the Township of Oro-Medonte will act in an
accountable and responsible manner with integrity, transparency, and fairness in its decision
making. This Code of Conduct shall establish a minimum standard of behaviour for Council members
while carrying out their roles and responsibilities as an elected official."
The Integrity Commissioner's report, "Principles Integrity Final Report", clearly and
methodically documents the alleged behaviour of Councillor Keane. Such behaviour undoubtedly
shows that Council Keane has failed to meet her obligations under this Code. Council in turn must
meet its obligations and strongly and publicly reprimand Councillor Keane's for her actions. Not to
do so would result in an even further loss of public trust and confidence in the Township's Leadership
and Administration.

Subject: Cathy Keane Integrity Commissioner's Report
Please add the attached to the Agenda for the meeting on May 26th. Thank you
Valerie Thornton
Please add this to the Agenda for Wednesday May 26t",
under Item 15 (a)
To The Mayor, all Councillors and the Clerk
Council Meeting May 26t" 2021 Item 15 (a) The Integritv
Commissioner's Report on Councillor Keane
have several comments but will be brief; the first being that
this is such an important issue, it should be number 1 not 15
on the Agenda. Keane cannot be involved in any issue or
vote before 15 a) is dealt with. Again a late notification about
this meeting on a Friday before a long weekend is not
acceptable; it is as though you just want to sweep certain
issues under the mat, whereas what happens is you make
more work and problems for yourselves as these matters
need a lot of input and debate. This is a code of conduct
issue which involves ALL of the Township.
The Integrity Commissioner's Report found that Councillor
Keane contravened the Township's Code of Conduct,
obstructing and misleading them during their investigation. In
addition "there was an absence of acknowledgement that her
actions were inappropriate and her letter aggressive and
threatening in an attempt to exert improper influence of her
office". Keane actually lied and it concerns me that she did
not see anything wrong in her actions.
This is very serious contravention, yet the recbnwf1tq)e`ttion
2.b) Agenda Comments Received.
is to reprimand and pass a resolution which should be
posted on the Township's website. What about the cost of
her lawyer, this should not be borne by the taxpayers. It
should be noted that her lawyer's letter which for some
reason she wanted on the Agenda was dated April 30t" and
was seen by the Integrity Commissioner before the Report of
May 14t". This same lawyer says Keane should be
exonerated (declared or shown to be blameless); how
pathetic and ridiculous is thatH
Regarding the meeting that Keane was so anxious to attend,
this was a simple, modified zoom webinar for an AGM that is
normally held in October, but was postponed because of
covid; not a normal AGM where councillors and the mayor
"may" be invited. New members of the Board were elected
and the only speaker was the owner of the new Vetta Spa on
third line. The HVPOA is a residents association where
members pay a yearly fee to belong and only members are
allowed access to its facebook. All the Board are residents
and volunteers who receive no remuneration. An excellent
job was done in organizing this interactive, virtual meeting
which included on-line voting and a Q/A period with over 100
people "attending". This type of AGM was a "first" and went
very well, but it was realized that last year's Financial
Statements should have been a separate vote from approval
of this year's budget; but it was difficult to correct as they
were unable to make the necessary connection to the on-line
voting tool on the spot. The Board was going to deal with
any questions raised by members that weren't dealt with at
the meeting. There was a complaint (who, but now we
know?) regarding not inviting various levels of government,
including the mayor and councillors. To my mind this would
have been a disaster and a time restriction did not allow for
this. Many people would have just tuned out as generally
Page 51 of 348
2.b) Agenda Comments Received.
zoom meetings are somewhat tedious with poor sound and
production problems, muting etc. A good example is some of
the Council meetings. We later heard that there was an
unauthorized recording of this meeting which was illegal and
should have only been done with permission of the HVPOA.
This was later tracked to Keane. I did feel that anyone who
had concerns/complaints should contact the Board directly
and not remain anonymous. In her letter to the HVPOA she
said "a long time resident who watched and recorded the
meeting had contacted her and asked for her interpretation of
what was said by various Board members that night"; this
turned out to be a downright lie, and cast a shadow over who
this long term resident was who lacked the courage to speak
to the Board.
A recommendation of a reprimand is out of sync with the
severity of her action!
do beg to ask, is there a puppeteer manipulating Keane?
Just a thought!

2. O-M Council impose a monetary fine on Councillor Keane,
3. O-M Council further investigate the involvement of any other member of
Council or staff in the allegations reviewed by the Commissioner's Report and to
take any necessary appropriate steps to stem this gross misconduct.
This is a very serious contravention of proper conduct by an elected official.
Violations of The Code of Conduct by a member of Council is simply not acceptable

Dear Mayor Hughes and Members of Council:
Complaint Against Councillor Keane
Principles Integrity Recommendation Report
In connection with the above-noted matter, I have read Councillor Keane's letter of February
8, 2021 to the Horseshoe Valley Property Owners Association (the "HVPOA"); a letter dated
April 30, 2021 from H.G. Elston, solicitor to Councillor Keane, responding to a Preliminary
Findings Report by Principles Integrity (which acts as Integrity Commissioner for the
Township); and a Recommendation Report by Principles Integrity dated May 14, 2021.
1 note that the May 14, 2021 Recommendation Report by Principles Integrity referred to
above was issued after the April 30, 2021 letter from Mr. Elston, also referred to above, and
so would have taken into consideration his submissions.
While Mr. Elston is to be complimented on his advocacy on behalf of Councillor Keane in
this matter, I found the Principles Integrity Recommendation Re ort more helpful in its
analysis, and more persuasive in its review and recommendations.Page 54 of 348
2.b) Agenda Comments Received.
As a concerned resident, property owner and taxpayer of Oro-Medonte, I am deeply
troubled by this matter. I strongly urge Council to:
1. Adopt in full the recommendations of Principles Integrity by passing without amendment a
resolution: "That having been found to have breached the Code of Conduct for the Township of
Oro-Medonte,that Councillor Cathy Keane be and is hereby formally reprimanded.
2. Also in accordance with the Principles Integrity Recommendation Report,to post a full copy of that
Report on the Township of Oro-Medonte website for public access.

3. Require that not only Councillor Keane recuse herself from any Council deliberation or vote on this
matter, but also any member of Council who may have been involved in any way in facilitating
unauthorized access to the HVPOA Annual General Meeting on February 3, 2021, or in the
preparation and/or prior approval of Councillor Keane's letter of February 8, 2021 referred to
above.
4. In the interests of transparency, disclose whether Mr. Elston's fees in this matter have been, or will
be, in any way paid by or reimbursed to Councillor Keane by, the Township.
All of which is respectfully submitted, along with a request that this letter be placed on
record for purposes of the May 26, 2021 meeting of Council.

Re: Complaint Against Councillor Keane
It was with great alarm that I read the Principles Integrity Recommendation Report
detailing the findings against and actions taken by Ward 3 Councillor Cathy Keane.
As stated in the report Council members are elected to serve their constituents and the
public in a conscientious and diligent manner. The foundation of any level of government
is based on ethics, integrity, honesty, and as defined in the Code of Conduct requires
Council Members to tell the truth.
Mayor Harry Hughes and Councillor Cathy Keane have failed the residents and property
owners of Oro-Medonte.
The HVPOA was a private meeting with only members in good standing being invited to
participate. Mayor Hughes and Councillor Keane breached the privacy of the 550
members of the HVPOA. In Ontario, Breach of Privacy is a Right protected by Tort Law.
It is my firm belief that Mayor Harry Hughes and Councillor Cathy Keane should
immediately resign from the Oro-Medonte Township Council as they no longer have the
trust or respect of residents of Oro-Medonte.

Re: Principles Integrity Final Report and Recommendations, Item 15 (a
We are Lynette and Dave Mader and we have lived in Craighurst for 19 years. We are
dismayed by events outlined in the Principles Integrity Final Report. While we are not
deeply familiar with the issues surrounding water rates and the concerns of the HVPOA,
we are terribly concerned by details of the report and particularly the fact that councillor
Keane obstructed the investigation as described in the report. We don't wish to be
represented by someone who would act in this way.
There is really only one course of action that can address the damage that has been
done: Councillor Keane should volunteer her resignation and Council should accept that
resignation. Certainly the fate of her representation will be decided by voters in the next
election, but should Council wait for that, the township's credibility and all of the effort it
has put into ensuring transparent, credible and effective leadership will be undermined.

Dear Mayor Hughes and Council
See below for my comments. I ask that you post them to the to the public record in
respect of item 15(a) on the Wednesday May 26th Oro-Medonte Council meeting.
Thank you for assistance with this very important matter.
Keith Doxsee
Dear Mayor Hughes and Council
The Integrity Commissioner's office conducted an investigation of Councillor Keane based
on a recent complaint. Their findings are jaw dropping.
The Integrity Commissioner's recommendation for a formal reprimand of the Councillor is
insufficient. Since the matter involves the Mayor, unauthorized family members and
possibly employees or others, the public deserve full transparency of this matter. Council
is compelled to examine this affair by way of a public inquiry.
Given her egregious behaviour Councillor Keane should resign but, if she does not, then
Council should take immediate action.
To act as a deterrent, and protect the public interest, Council should impose an immediate
six month suspension on the Councillor. This should be accompanied by a lifetime ban
from running for any elected position in the Township.
Yours Truly,
Keith Doxsee

Subject: Councillor Keane's conduct
To Members of Council,
I would like to request that this email be posted to the public record on the agenda for the
meeting to be held on May 26t", 2021
Having read the Integrity Commissioner's Final Report and learned of the actions taken by
Councillor Keane following the HVPOA annual meeting in February, I would like to
express my disappointment that the elected Councillor for my part of the township, Shanty
Bay, could act in such a manner.
If Councillor Keane had admitted immediately that she made a wrong decision in acting
the way she did, I could be more understanding . However, she did not and, in fact, went
to great lengths to cover up her actions.
It seems clear in the report that those conducting the investigation of the complaint
suspected that the original story being told by Councillor Keane was untrue. And
eventually the lies were uncovered during a further "under oath" examination.
There appears to be no acknowledgment by Councillor Keane that her actions were
contrary to the Code of Conduct and the report states that much of the investigation would
have been simplified had the Councillor admitted her actions from the onset.
The recommendation of the report is for a formal reprimand and certain penalties as listed
under 116 and 117 in the report.
To my mind, there has been a serious loss of trust amongst Councillor Keane's
constituents and Councillor Keane will need to consider whether it is her best course of
action to stay in office. In addition, council should determine whether a public inquiry is
appropriate to determine all of the events which precipitated Councillor Keane's alleged
efforts and actions.
Trust is one of the hardest things to earn but is one of the easiest things to lose.
Respectfully submitted,

Keane
To Mayor Hughes and All Members of Oro-Medonte Council:
I am a resident of Ward 3. My Councillor is Kathy Keane. Through multiple sources, I have learned
that the Integrity Commissioner has found my councillor guilty of violating the Township's own
Code of Conduct. I am appalled that my councillor has conducted herself in the manner described
in the report and that she apparently finds such behaviour to be completely acceptable and
justified. I am equally dismayed and upset that Mayor Hughes was actively involved in this matter.
I have lost all trust in Councillor Keane's ability to represent me. Once it is gone, trust is very hard
to restore.
I request the following steps be immediately taken by Council:
1. Severely reprimand or censure Councillor Keane for her actions as described in the
Integrity Commissioner's report dated May 14, 2021, or demand her immediate
resignation from Council and from all other Township-related positions.
2. Provide assurance that no taxpayers' money has been spent on Councillor Keane's
defence, or that all such funds have been reimbursed to the Township.
3. That the Mayor recuse himself from all deliberations and all voting in respect of this
matter, in view of his active participation in this affair.

To Mayor Hughes and All Members of Oro-Medonte Council:
I am a resident of Ward 3. My Councillor is Kathy Keane.
I have obtained, via various sources, a copy of the Integrity Commissioner's Report dated May 14,
2021 on the recent actions of my councillor which violated the Township's own Code of Conduct.
Councillor Keanes can no longer effectively represent me at Council. I am horrified that she has
behaved as the report found and that she considers such activities to be both reasonable and
justified.
I am also dismayed that Mayor Hughes participated in support of Ms. Keane. His clear support of
her behaviour illustrates that he is in a conflict of interest in this matter.
The following steps must be immediately taken by Council:
1. Council must reprimand Councillor Keane for her actions, or demand her immediate
resignation from Council and from all other Township-related positions, or both. There
must be repercussions for her actions.
2. Council must give assurance that either no taxpayers' money has been spent on her
defence, or that she has repaid every dime to the Township.
3. The Mayor must recuse himself from all discussions, deliberations and any vote in respect
of this matter, in view of his active participation in this affair.
Kindly ensure that this email is posted to the public record on Council's agenda in regard to Item

Subject: Principles Integrity Report agenda item15(a) council meeting May 26th, 2021
To whom it may concern:
It is with great sadness that I make this submission to Council. I have not been politically
active either on a partisan basis, or on issues during my adulthood. I have always
admired those who take on public service, and the inevitable loss of family time, and
privacy. We as voters place our trust in elected officials and are entitled to expect that
they conduct themselves in such a way as to be worthy of that trust. To secure this end
and to elevate the level of public trust in our elected officials by an ever sceptical public ,
The Township of Oro by POL-ADM-24 on December 9, 2020 by Motion C20109-8
adopted the Oro-Medonte Code of Conduct for Members of Council. The introduction to
this policy states as follows : "Customer First!; Courageous and Responsible Decision-
making: Creativity and Innovation; HONESTY; , FAIRNESS and RESPECT; OPENESS,
and Engagement. The guiding principles as stated in in section C require councillors to
be conscientious and diligent, act with INTEGRETY, IMPARTIALITY,AND
TRANSPARENCY . They are also charged to arrange their private affairs in a manner
that promotes public confidence and will bear close public scrutiny.
The facts as found in the Integrity Commissioners report revealed that Ms. Keane fell far
short of these expectations.
She failed to ensure that information sent to her by the Mayor (presumably Township
business, and thus shared with all councillors) on the Township e-mail was kept
confidential. She shared this information to a home e-mail which was accessible to other
members of her household ostensibly 'for printing. One must query why she would need
to print anything regarding a private meeting to which she was not invited and at which
neither she nor her husband were eligible to attend or to vote. It was found that her
husband attended AND VOTED, at such meeting. This breach of confidentiality is
entirely unacceptable.
The aggressive and threatening tone of the letter sent to HVPOA executive was certainly
in tone and content beneath the dignity of an elected official, and most certainly breached
the duty of impartiality required by the Code. Clearly there was a position taken that it is
Oro-Medonte against HVPOA by her extensive review of the history of this issue, much of
which pre-dated Ms. Keane's election. Her Threat of taking the matter to council
amounted to an abuse of office.
Ms. Keane's responses to the enquiries of the Commission were evasive, and misleading
at best, and outright untruthful at worst, which amounted to an obstruction of the enquiry
and certainly lacked the quality of Honesty and Openness as required in the Code of
Conduct. Page 62 of 348
2.b) Agenda Comments Received.
The concluding remarks of the Report underscored that Ms. Keane either failed to
acknowledge, or failed to understand that her conduct throughout was inappropriate, and
lacked the integrity expected of an elected official.
The recommendation of the Commissioner of a reprimand seems highly inappropriate
under the circumstances. The punishment must fit the crime. Ms. Keane's conduct was
egregious and has the potential to erode public confidence, not only in her conduct, but
the conduct of the entire council. One must question if her actions are a result of the
CULTURE within Council, which lead a relatively new and inexperienced member to
believe her conduct was proper or acceptable. NOW is the opportunity for Council to take
decisive and positive action to demonstrate to Ms. Keane specifically and to any other
Council member who may share Ms. Keane's sense of entitlement, that such conduct will
not be tolerated. More importantly, a suitable penalty of suspension from all council and
committee work for an extended period of time, of 6 months or longer should council see
fit to do so, would confirm the commitment of Council to the Principles of the Code of
Conduct, and thus go a long way to confirm public faith and respect for our elected
officials.
All of which is Respectfully submitted this 25 day of May, 2021

Subject: Lack of integrity by Councillor Keane
Having read the Integrity Commissioner's report into Councilor Cathy Keane, I was
alarmed by her deviousness in respect to the AGM, applaed by threatening actions
towards the HVPOA that followed, and shocked by her obstinate behaviour before
the Integrity Commissioner "it was the first time we have felt it necessary to
administer an oath in the course of an investigation" p.9).
Although the Integrity Commissioner merely recommended a formal reprimand, I
have lost all confidence in Councilor Keane executing her job in adherence to the
township's Code of Conduct. Councilor Keane must be asked to resign immediately
and if she refuses, she must be fired. In addition, Councilor Keane, having been
found guilty, must be made to pay her own legal fees. It is incomprehensible that
our tax dollars be used to defend such unethical behaviour.
Lastly, I fully support an independent Judicial Inquiry into this egregious matter as it
also implicates Mayor Harry Hughes.

In light of the extraordinarily damning report by the Integrity Commissioner, Principles
Integrity, against Councillor Cathy Keane, I fail to see how council can do anything but ask
her to resign.
As well, Councillor Keane's husband has grossly interfered in Council business. This is an
additional reason for her to resign.
Mayor Harry Hughes is also complicit in her actions by forwarding confidential HVPOA
business to Councillor Keane. He deserves to be reprimanded at least, and in my view
should resign also.

RE: Integrity Commissioner's Report on Conduct of Ward 3 Councillor, Cathy Keane.
Agenda item 15 for Council meeting Wednesday May 26, 2021.
My name is Neal Claassen and I reside at 32 Trillium Trail. I have lived here for 7 years,
and this is the first time I have written to council. I have read the Integrity Commissioner's
Report on Conduct of Ward 3 Councillor, Cathy Keane, and all the responses to it,
including the response by her lawyer to the initial draft.
I am sensitive to the fact that it is difficult to be put into the position to discipline one of
your fellow councillors, but this is clearly a matter of great importance. Since I have moved
here, I have seen very few issues that have mobilized the community as much as this
one.
The fact that Councillor Keane has not been acting within the scope of the council's own
code of conduct is made clear in the findings of the report. The fact that Councillor Keane
has made zero effort to take any accountability for her actions is even worse, and from my
personal experience is a repeated pattern of behaviour, a pattern that is sure to continue
unless council is willing to take action.
It is important to note that the legal reply to the preliminary findings (and that are
submitted into the record of this meeting) had almost no effect to the final findings of the
integrity commissioner. If council is not willing to respect the report of the integrity
commissioner, it will send a very clear message to the electorate that council condones
and encourages this kind of behaviour and lack of accountability.
I presume that by the sheer amount of correspondence you receive on this issue that the
actions of council will be scrutinized very closely. Your electorate will pay attention to
which councillors will find this a serious matter, and which councillors feel that deplorable
behaviour is to be encouraged.
I hope that council will not let us down.
Yours sincerely,
Neal Claassen.

Dear Mayor Hughes and Members of Council:
We, the HVPOA Board of Directors, have received and reviewed the Integrity Commissioner's
report into their investigation of our complaints against the actions of Councillor Cathy Keane.
We are satisfied with the results of the investigation which support our opinion that her
actions were contrary to the Code of Conduct for Councillors in the Township of Oro-Medonte.
Page 69 of 348
2.b) Agenda Comments Received.
We were, however, shocked to read about Councillor Keane's attempts to mislead and
obfuscate the investigation, which necessitated unprecedented action by the Integrity
Commissioner and protracted the process. What added cost does the municipality (the
taxpayers) have to bear because of this investigation, and how much of that would have been
unnecessary if she had only been forthcoming in the confidential investigation in the first
place?
Finally, we are particularly concerned about the Commissioner's concluding remark at
paragraph 110:
"Throughout our investigation, up to and including submissions by legal counsel,
there has been an absence of acknowledgment by the Councillor that her
viewing of the AGMvideo was inappropriate, or that her February 8 letter to the
HVPOA was aggressive,
erroneous in its accusations and out of line."

The letter of April 301"from her Counsel which is attached to the May 261" Council agenda,
wasinitially submitted to the Integrity Commissioner as part of the investigation and the
argumentsit lays out have been addressed in their final report. Her continued reliance on
those same arguments demonstrates that she still does not appreciate how inappropriate
and egregious her actions have been.
We respectfully submit that the reprimand as recommended by the Integrity Commissioner
isnot a sufficient sanction. We therefore hope Council will make an impactful decision in
this matter by imposing the strongest possible sanction(s) permitted under the Municipal
Act, as well as any other conditions you may deem appropriate.
Thank you for your consideration of our

Subject: COMPLAINT AGAINST COUNCILLOR KEANE
Good afternoon,
The following pertains to agenda item # 15 (a) for the Council meeting tomorrow.
I am sending this note to register my concerns on this matter. I am a resident of Ward 3.
This is the most vivid, but just one example of Councillor Keane's interactions with the
community.
Despite her assertions to the contrary, she fails consistently to act in accordance with
the Codes of Conduct. She was a strident proponent of these guidelines, but curiously
fails to abide by them.
Thus,a reprimand in this instance per se is more than warranted. The facts as
portrayed in the Commissioner's report are explicitly that -:facts. What remains are the
actions which must be undertaken as a consequence. Nothing less than unseating Ms.
Keane from Council is adequate. Any other members of Council who are implicated in
this matter should also be censured. Vacated seats resulting should be filled via a by-
election.
Sincerely,
Jerry Young

Topic: Behavior of various Council Members, and their responsibility to the
constituents of the Township of Oro-Medonte.
For too long, the voters of Oro-Medonte have had to endure questionable
and possibly illegal activities on the part of certain Members of Council, in
which a reasonable person would see major conflict between these
Members and the voters. The voters, for whatever reason, believed in the
Members elected.
Would reasonable observer not expect that those elected would serve
constituents as promised, during the election campaign?
Would a reasonable constituent condone the lack of positive governance,
as we have seen since this Council was elected?
Would the reasonable taxpayer condone the legal costs that have been
incurred by this Council?
Would any reasonable person condone the activities of Councillor Keane,
as highlighted in a recent Integrity Commission report?
Would all reasonable voters expect that the "BUCK STOPS AT THE
MAYOR?
There may not be a 100% turnout at an election and there may few many
who choose not to present comments, but I vote, I am concerned about the
state of affairs in this Council and I feel that my taxes are being spent
inappropriately, and as such, am being cheated. Perhaps I speak for many.
Do I?
want a Council who listens to suggestions of Constituents, is fair,
responsible with my money and has integrity.
Therefore, I demand that, since the "BUCK STOPS AT THE MAYOR", that
Mayor Hughes resign, admitting failure in good governance.
further demand that Councillor Keane join Mayor Hughes in blissful
resignation and vow never to serve on any committee, in any community,
ever.
Lastly, I demand a full investigation into the activities of this Council, by
Provincial authorities, and that all legal costs, incurred by those councillors

and paid for from the purse of Oro-Medonte, be back charged for those
costs. The Constituents of Oro-Medonte did not elect a Council to have free
rein in court and with multiple legal opinions.
expect that Councillors with principles to speak up in support of this plea,
however, I realistically expect that those who would be bullied, or coerced,
will follow past patterns, that they themselves have followed and allowed.
For once let's see positivity in this Council, do the right thing for Oro-
Medonte, and start to produce admirable work.
The Residents of this Township deserve no less.

behaviour. Based on the damning content of the Commissioner's Final Report, Ms.
Keane has shown by her actions that she cannot be trusted to represent
her constituents in a wise, fair, honest, judicious and open manner, and with
integrity. Rather than admit her wrongdoing to the Commissioner, and express
remorse, she went on the offensive, hired or was provided with a lawyer, and attempted
to defend her indefensible action. She threatened the HPVOA, a community based
organization in which she is not a member. To make matters even worse, she involved
her husband, and may also have had an accomplice, an unknown person, known only
by the first name "Harry". Ms. Keane's callous disregard of the Township's Code of
Conduct is extremely troubling, given that she was such an outspoken supporter of the
Township's recent Code of Conduct for the Public.
Is Ms. Keane fit for public office?
With less than 17 months remaining in her term before the next Ontario municipal
elections, set for October 24, 2022, there is insufficient time for Ms. Keane to regain the
trust and confidence of her constituents, which she has so foolishly squandered and
must have in order to perform her duties as an elected official in Oro-Medonte.
I am a volunteer member of the Township vetted Focus Group/Task Force, tasked with
investigating, understanding and making recommendations to the Township with regard
to its Zone 1 Water Integration Plan. I am very concerned that Ms. Keane cannot be
trusted to read and act appropriately on the information our group has provided to
Council. The Focus Group/Task Force has discovered a mountain of evidence in public
records going back to the 1960s, evidence which proves beyond any doubt that the
Zone 1 portion of the water system in Horseshoe Valley is now, and always has been,
part of a municipal water system. In my humble opinion, it is the ongoing water dispute
between the Township and the 454 households in Zone 1, that is at the heart of Ms.
Keane's animosity toward the HVPOA.

Re Integrity Commissioner Report
Having followed the situation and read the Report and the lawyer report, my feeling is that this
type of behaviour does nothing to instill confidence in the Council. I trust all appropriate actions
will be taken.
Since the Integrity Commission Report takes the lawyer report into consideration, I don't see
why it needs to be part of the Agenda.

Dear Mayor Hughes and Members of Council:
We have read the findings of the Integrity Commissioner's Report.
As residents of Oro-Medonte, we are dismayed at Councillor Keane's conduct and are
requesting the following action be taken:

3. O-M Council further investigate the involvement of any other member of
Council or staff in the report and take any further appropriate steps as necessary.
We ask that this email be posted to the public record on the agenda under item 15 a) for

Mayor and council members of Oro-Medonte Township
It has come to my attention do that the Integrity Commission filed a formal complaint
after completing an investigating stating that Councillor Keane contravened Township
code of conduct obstructing this investigation, obstructed their investigation made
attempts to mislead and obfuscate throughout the investigation She did not
acknowledge that her actions were inappropriate and her letter aggressive and
threatening in an attempt to exert improper influence of her office
This issue is on the agenda May 26 to be discussed I do hope honesty will prevail

Dear Clerk:
I am very disappointed to read about the events leading up to the Principles Integrity report of May 14, 2021.
My only comment is directed to all the council as a reminder of basic privacy principals ... If it's not addressed
to you, it's not for you. Irrespective of the circumstances ultimately resulting in the report, from my point of
view, none of this would be an issue if only the people intended to receive the email invitation (to the AGM in
February) were the only people to receive the email invitation.
Hopefully, a lesson is learned here on a going forward basis.
Respectfully,
Mrs. B. Rodrigues

Hello Members of Council,
In my view, having read the IC's report, Councillor Keane should resign forthwith.
It should be noted that previous versions of my letter to Council were deemed
"disrespectful" by the clerk.
As such, this is my very abbreviated version of my letter regarding Council Keane.
Respectfully submitted,

Subject: Principles Integrity Final Report and Recommendations
We are appalled at the unethical and dishonest actions of Cathy Keane, who is the
council representative for Ward 3, where we have lived since 2004, and the findings of
the Principles Integrity Final Report and Recommendations on this issue.
It is absolutely expected that councillors are expected to act with integrity, honesty and
ethics, and it is clear from this report and other instances that Councillor Keane not
only fails to do so, she continues to fail to understand the need for her to behave as a
councilor should. We call for her resignation. If it is not freely offered, Council should
demand it.
The other instances that I (Judith) refer to include some of her posts and private
messages to me in the 1700-member Facebook group that I administer, Oro-Medonte
Life, and in personal emails. While I do not have proof, from the tone and content, she
appears to share her husband's profile in this group, as she shares their personal email
(an ethical and security concern since she forwards emails from her Township email
account to them, whereupon her husband has access to them). I have felt harassed by
her/him by private messages and complaints against other members, and was gravely
concerned when she/he posted a post in the group on March 26 2021 , in which she
shared personal information and a rant against a member who shared a news article
about Keane's introduction of the harassment bylaw to council. I find it ironic that she
feels the need to be protected from harassment by constituents but feels no qualms
when they feel harassed by her. While she later removed the comment, I have a
screenshot should you wish to see it. Based on this action and her recent ones, I have
removed her from Oro-Medonte Life, and she/he continues to harass me with private
messages about that.
I emailed her asking for information about the tree cutting that occurred in March in
Craighurst and not only did she appear totally disinterested in responding to my
questions, she basically told me to not email her again with any questions. She is
elected to represent us and respond to us. I found this very inappropriate for a
councillor.
Again, we call for her resignation or for Council to remove her. We deserve ethical,
honest and positive responsive representation.
Thank you.
Judith and Edward Banville

Subject: Councillor Keane's recent misconduct charges
Mayor Hughes and Councillors,
Councillor Keane's recent misconduct charges, and Mayor Hughes's involvement,
mirror the lack of transparency regarding the water issues in Oro Medonte.
Are other Councillors with one degree of separation even able to act in the best interest
of the people they represent when they have only supported Mrs. Keane unequivocally
to this point?

1. Call to Order - Moment of Reflection:
Mayor H.S. Hughes assumed the Chair and called the meeting to order at the above noted
time followed by a 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.

Who were you in contact with?
Mayor Hughes
Reason why this presentation is important to Council and to the municipality:
Oro Medonte is home to 2 of the province's most premier alpine ski areas. Including our nordic
counterparts at Hardwood and Horseshoe winter alpine and nordic resorts represent close to 2,000
jobs and valuable employment to residents along with extensive ancillary revenue to multiple
business in this township. Ensuring that they can operate safely like other ski areas in Quebec, BC
and Alberta is crucial this coming season. Resorts in Oro Medonte cannot risk capital outlay against
the threat of shut down for another season.

Development Funding
Roll #: Program 2021 R.M.S. File #:
Recommendation(s): Requires Action For Information Only
It is recommended:
1. That Report No. CS2021-15 be received and adopted;
2. That Council endorses the submission to the County of Simcoe Economic
Development Funding Program 2021 for $50,000 for the completion of a Tourism
Action Plan and Implementation of COVID Recovery Efforts;
3. That the Coordinator, Economic Development & Communications complete and
submit the required Funding Application to the County of Simcoe;
4. And that staff report back to Council with a project update prior to the end of
Quarter three (3) 2021.
Background:
Since 2013 the County of Simcoe has provided lower tier municipalities a variety of
funding opportunities specific to Economic Development. In many cases these
opportunities have been provided through an application process to implement
Economic Development related activities that are tied to both the County's Economic
Development strategy and individual municipal strategies.
These funding opportunities have assisted the Township with the implementation of a
number of projects identified in the Economic Development Strategies. The most recent
project the Township of Oro-Medonte completed, utilizing the funding from the
Economic Development Funding Program (EDFP), was for the Employment Land
Strategy, which was completed and adopted by Council in February 2021 and will
inform the ongoing Official Plan and Zoning By-law update.

The 2021 Economic Development Funding Program and application was approved by
County Council on March 9, 2021. In addition to the previous program guidelines, this
new version of the application includes eligibility for COVID-19 business support and
recovery plans and/or projects. EDFP is a one-time grant program for 2021 that is
available through an application process, to the sixteen (16) lower tier municipal
partners. This fund will provide up to $50,000 to each lower tier municipality as an
opportunity to advance economic development projects. The projects are required to
meet local objectives as well as Simcoe County economic development objectives and
projects. Submissions are due by June 15, 2021, funding will be available for projects to
start by mid-September 2021, with a final report due September 2022. A requirement of
the application process, is to include a Council resolution supporting the application
submission.
The application for funding clearly identifies items that are not eligible, including:
• Normal operating costs such as salaries and benefits for staff (e.g. full-time and
part-time staff), office space, equipment and machinery, utilities, phone,
materials, labour, board, committee and annual meetings
• International travel
• No infrastructure or capital projects
• Projects whose sole purpose is compliance with current Requirements of Law
that pertain to the current operations of a municipality (i.e. planning, building
code, etc.)
• New construction of buildings, structures (moveable and non-moveable) and
other major infrastructure
• Additions to buildings, teardowns or rebuilds
• Purchase or lease of land, buildings and facilities
• Community aesthetics and functionality (e.g. streetscaping, green space
development, murals, street lights, paved surfaces, tree islands)
• Sponsorship of conferences and events
• Honorariums, membership costs
• The assistance directly or indirectly of any business through the granting of
bonuses for that purpose, per section 106(1) of the Ontario Municipal Act.
Analysis:
Oro-Medonte is beautiful municipality that is frequented by visitors but is also home to a
community who is proud of the outdoor recreation amenities and 4 season opportunities
available in our own "backyards". The Township is well known for its ski resorts, major
events, beautiful country roads, agri-tourism opportunities, biking and hiking trails and
many other outdoor recreation opportunities and complimentary tourism businesses.
The Tourism Sector represents one of the Township's key economic sectors in terms of
both jobs and number of businesses. The Township has long standing relationships
working with local and regional tourism partners and stakeholders in support of this
sector.
Tourism can be defined as the activities undertaken by visitors, also known

as the visitor economy. This includes activities that are directly related to the tourist,
such as staying in a hotel, ordering a meal, shopping or visiting a tourist attraction.
In recognition of the importance of tourism to the municipality, tourism was identified as
a key area of focus for Economic Development in the Township of Oro-Medonte.
Included in the Economic Development Strategy 2018-2022 is a specific goal to develop
and promote Oro-Medonte as a premier four-season destination, including the following
objectives and actions:
Objective 1: Support and positively influence the development of new and existing four-
season tourism products in the Township.
• 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.
For over a year the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the province of Ontario,
including ongoing business closures and tight restrictions on travel and shopping. The
tourism industry has been significantly impacted by the pandemic, according to Minister
McLeod who oversees the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture, these
industries were among the first and hardest hit and will likely take the longest to recover.
These are sectors that depend on gatherings and movement of people. (Reconnecting
Ontarians: Re-emerging as a Global Leader) Tourism is a key economic driver in the
province, it provides more than 400,000 jobs and in normal times would generate over
$36 billion in spending. According to TIAO (Tourism Industry Association of Ontario),
the Ontario tourism sector has lost more than $18 billion in revenue alone and more
than 200,000 jobs, as a direct result of the pandemic.
As many of us have heard directly from tourism businesses in the Township, there has
been an enormous impact directly here in Oro-Medonte including the closure of ski
resorts, accommodations not being able to operate to full capacity, new measures and
protocol requirements, provincial regulations, retail and restaurants having to pivot to
digital and curbside pickup, construction projects put on hold and the closure of a major
accommodator, Carriage Ridge and Carriage Hills Resorts. The closure of this large

accommodator and the uncertainty of its future impacts the volume of visitors to the
region creating increased pressure on the operators to fill gaps. Operators are working
hard to provide safe opportunities and experiences to welcome guests and bring
tourism back to the Township.
Leadership at all levels will be required to get through this extremely tough time and
rebuild the tourism economy together collaboratively. Tourism can continue to be a
driver of growth and opportunity in the municipality, however, it needs to have a clear
direction and actions that will provide a road map for opportunity going forward.
To identify possible projects for inclusion in the Township's funding application and to
determine synergies and alignment staff reviewed and considered the following:
- The Township's Economic Development Strategy,
- The County of Simcoe's Economic Development & Tourism COVID-19 Recovery
Plan,
- The County of Simcoe's 5 Year Economic Development Strategy and
- The 2021 Simcoe County Economic Development Work Plan.
The EDFP application clearly outlines that the municipality is not able to provide
assistance directly or indirectly to any business through the granting of bonuses for that
purpose, (per section 106(1) of the Ontario Municipal Act) or use the funds for operating
costs such as staff or capital projects.
As referenced in the County of Simcoe's Economic Development and Tourism COVID-
19 Recovery Plan in response to the initial COVID-19 closures in the spring of 2020,
Business Impact Surveys were circulated to businesses to determine how to best
support the local economy. In the fall of 2021, the Simcoe County Economic
Development Department in collaboration with Tourism Simcoe County and the lower
tier Municipalities undertook focus groups within the geographic quadrants of Simcoe
County with key sectors, one of those sectors being Tourism. The participation in these
focus groups provided feedback to determine what initiatives, supports and programs
could be optimized to assist with recovery efforts. This Plan is meant to respond
specifically to the needs of Simcoe County businesses during the uncertainty presented
by the COVID-19 pandemic. The details within this Recovery Plan along with the
2021 County Work plan were carefully reviewed to find synergies and opportunities for
the Municipality to support.
Staff also consulted with economic development staff from neighbouring municipalities,
tourism and business support organizations (RTO7, CDC, Oro-Medonte Chamber of
Commerce etc.) and the Township's Economic Development Roundtable (EDR) which
is comprised of a broad cross sector of business from across the municipality. Given
the past year and the impact of COVID-19, significant discussion focused on the
Tourism industry. It was determined that the tourism and related businesses have been
one of the hardest hit by the global pandemic locally. Based on input, Township staff
assembled a list of potential options for EDR review and discussion. Although a couple
of key initiatives were identified as items to move forward on as soon as possible it was
confirmed that there needed to be some flexibility with COVID-19 recovery funding, to
provide time to solicit input and truly understand where the best value would be to

provide support to businesses. There is so much uncertainty on the future, including the
immediate reopening of the province, and what is to happen in the coming months and
years, if there will be future waves of the virus causing further provincial or regional shut
downs etc. The pandemic is changing people's behaviours in significant ways affecting
our personal and social habits. The Province of Ontario is estimating that it will take 5
years for the Tourism Industry to recover from the pandemic, in December the province
announced a five-year plan and the start of the Tourism Task Force. Toronto Star
The following are the recommendations from staff in consultation with the Economic
Development Roundtable for projects related to tourism support and the allocation of
the Economic Development Funding:
Simcoe County Economic Development Funding Program ($50,000 application
process)
Tourism Action Plan - $25,000
• A Tourism Action Plan will further the Township's Economic Development
Strategy and determine key actions for the municipality to initiate to support the
Tourism, Heritage, Culture & Sport Sectors;
• This need was identified in the 2021 Budget process for the completion of a
Tourism Strategy, based on consultations with Provincial and Regional Tourism
Partners it was felt, in light of COVID-19 and related uncertainties, that an Action
plan would best support the next steps for the municipality;
• Information gathered through the upcoming stakeholder consultations and a roles
and functions assessment initiated by Township staff will be provided to inform
the development of an action plan;
• Staff are recommending that, through a formal RFP process, consulting
resources will be contracted to develop an action plan with strategic priorities
to support tourism including investment, marketing and business support in
the Township both in the short term and long term.
• Time Frame: fall 2021— spring 2022
Implementation of COVID-19 Recovery Efforts - $25,000
• Staff will initiate an engagement process with local tourism stakeholders and
businesses over the next three months to solicit input regarding COVID recovery
needs. This information will be considered with the Township's Economic
Development Strategy and the County's COVID-19 recovery plans to how best to
support the Township's tourism businesses over the next 12-18 months;
• The following are examples of potential projects and initiatives that could be
considered as recovery efforts (but not limited to) and will be further detailed in a
future report to Council Fall 2021 pending the conclusion of staff/business
engagement:
■ Professional Development Opportunities
Virtual webinars to support business opportunities and education
■ Destination Development

Conclusion:
Tourism is a key economic sector in the Township of Oro-Medonte, it draws visitors to
the municipality, but it is also a reason for people to live, work and play in the Township.
Tourism businesses represent a significant number of jobs and tax base within the
municipality.
This sector has been dramatically impacted by COVID-19. The recommended initiatives
identified within this report will allow the Township of Oro-Medonte to continue to
support our tourism related businesses and develop the Township in a competitive and
sustainable manner. The Township must consider and ensure a balanced approach
between Tourism Investment Opportunities and Tourism Business Support during an
unprecedented time when economic recovery and resilience are required to be a key
focus. Pending support by Council staff will complete and submit the application for the
Simcoe County Economic Development Funding Program prior to June 15, 2021.

4346-020-002-07000 4917 Line 4 North
Pre-Consultation Application
2021-PCA-02
Recommendation(s): Requires Action For Information Only
It is recommended:
1. That Report No. DS2021-076 be received and adopted.
2. That Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) be advised that
the Township of Oro-Medonte has no concerns and concurs with FB Connect proposed
installation of a telecommunication tower to be located at 4917 Line 4 North.
3. And that the applicant be advised of Council's decision under the Director, Development
Services signature.
Purpose:
The purpose of this report is to provide Council with information and analysis regarding the
installation of a telecommunication tower proposed by FB Connect to be located at 4917 Line 4
North. A proposed Site Plan is attached to this report (refer to Schedule 3).
The proposal from FB Connect is to erect a 45.0 metre telecommunication tower, to be located
on 4917 Line 4 North, setback approximately 146.0 metres (479.3 feet) north of Mt. St. Louis
Road West. The tower is to be a lite-duty, self-support lattice tower with a colour that is
subject to Navigation Canada requirements.
Background:
The subject property is approximately 39.5 hectares (97.6 acres) and is located on the north-
east side of Line 4 North and Mt. St. Louis Road West (refer to Schedules 1 and 2). The
property contains a single family dwelling and several accessory buildings.

10.b) DS2021-76, Andy Karaiskakis, Senior Planner re: Telecommunication ...
Analysis:
FB Connect submitted this proposal to the Township to fulfill Innovation, Science and Economic
Development Canada's (ISED) requirement of consultation with the local land use authority and
is seeking concurrence from the local land use authority.
In accordance with the Township's Protocol for Telecommunication Towers, property owners
within 120 metres of the proposed tower have been notified of the tower proposal and a virtual
public open house was held on March 17, 2021 .
Two (2) residents attended the virtual public open house. During the virtual public open house,
comments from members of the public were made with respect to matters related to siting/co-
location, aesthetics and health & safety. FB Connect has provided the Township with a Public
Consultation Summary for the proposed telecommunication tower which responds to the
comments made by members of the public (refer to Attachment 1). The applicant concludes
that all technical concerns and requirements received through and after the public circulation
have been addressed and that no outstanding issues remain.
Municipal review of telecommunication towers and antennas is governed by the
Township's Protocol for Telecommunication Towers supported by Council in March 2005.
The protocol sets out detailed procedures for the review of telecommunication facilities to be
installed in the Township. The Protocol includes the following:
• preliminary consultation process;
• public notification and consultation processes;
• municipal response process;
• criteria for what kind of facilities are exempted from the public consultation requirement,
for example, a ground supported tower less than 16.6 metres in height and located more
than 200 metres from a residential dwelling.
The municipal consultation process is part of the requirements by ISED in the approval of
telecommunication facilities. The undertaking of telecommunication facilities is under the
exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal government. The provisions of the Ontario Planning Act and
municipal bylaws and regulations do not apply to Federal undertakings. While the consultation
process allows local land use authorities and the public to have input in proposals of
telecommunication facilities, local authorities do not have the power to approve or disapprove
the location or construction of such facilities. ISED is the ultimate approval authority of such
facilities under the Radio-Communication Act.
FB Connect is seeking to improve the telecommunications infrastructure in the area to provide
Xplornet users with better wireless internet services in the community. This location works well
to expand the Xplornet coverage while being respectful of the character of the property and
context of the area. The proposed tower has been designed at a height of 45.0 metres (147.6
feet) to provide optimal coverage to this area due to the large coverage and capacity gaps
currently in this network area. The proposed tower height also means that there is sufficient
capacity for other carriers or broadcasters to install their equipment on the tower. All future
applications for co-location on the proposed tower will be considered. This is seen as an added

benefit as it works to reduce the number of potential towers required in this area in the future to
provide service to residents and businesses.
The tower is proposed to be setback approximately 146.0 metres (479.3 feet) from Mt. St.
Louis Road West and will be accessed through a new entrance from the road utilizing the
existing field access to the proposed tower site. The tower is to be located at the corner of the
agricultural field abutting against the woodlot requiring no tree removal and is to be located
approximately 200 metres (656 feet) from the nearest neighbouring dwelling located at 619 Mt.
St. Louis Road West. There is sufficient space to accommodate the tower while having some
visual buffering from the existing woodlot that will surround the proposed tower along with the
mature row of trees on the north side of Mt. St. Louis Road West. The applicant was
requested by one resident during the consultation to consider locating the tower further north
on the other side of the wooded area to assist in screening the tower from their residence on
the south side of Mt. St. Louis Road West. It is noted in the applicant's response summary
(Attachment 1) that a site visit was completed by the applicant and has concluded that it would
be very difficult to see the tower from the front of the residence as there is significant screening
provided by the wooded area between the residence and the tower, primarily the large amount
of tree cover on the resident's property and the row of trees on the north side of Mt. St. Louis
Road West. The applicant also noted that to relocate the tower further north would require
significant tree removal for hydro access. The applicant believes that based on the distance to
the property/residence and the existing trees that provide screening from the residence to the
tower, the proposed tower location is reasonably situated and are not considering relocating to
another location.
Financial / Legal Implications / Risk Management:
There are no direct financial implications to the Township by the proposed development.
Consultations:
This proposal was circulated to internal departments and external agencies for review.
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority: NVCA has no concerns with the location of this
tower— it is proposed outside the NVCA Regulation Limit. A permit is not required.
Development Engineering: typically Development Engineering has no objection or comments
regarding this type of project. There is little to no drainage works or disturbance other than a
tower pedestal and the pre-engineered cabinet placement. The driveway/access is of
reasonable grade and the offset distance to the property line does not pose difficulty to the
adjacent property.
Operations Division: The applicant will be required to obtain an entrance permit. Operations
has no other comments.
Municipal Law: No concerns.
Building Division: Building Division has no jurisdiction in the construction of telecom towers.

County of Simcoe: The site is designated "Agricultural" in the County Official Plan on the
portion of the site that it appears the tower is proposed to be located. This telecommunication
tower constitutes Infrastructure, which is permitted in this designation. It does not appear that
any land division is proposed as part of this project, however, it is worth noting nonetheless
that land division for Infrastructure in the Agricultural designation is discouraged. Based on the
information provided, there appears to be no issues of concern from a County Planning
department perspective.

Attachment 1: Public Consultation Summary Report
Conclusion:
The installation of a telecommunication tower on lands owned by Samuel Wellington Ross by
FB Connect presents an opportunity to improve telecommunication coverage in an
underserviced area in the Township with limited impacts on adjacent land uses. The proposal
has followed the procedures and met the requirements set out in the Township's Protocol for
Telecommunication Towers.
Based upon the above review, Staff supports providing concurrence to Innovation, Science
and Economic Development Canada with respect to this installation.

RE: Request for Concurrence- Proposed 45m Lite-Duty Self-Support Lattice Tower Site
SITE ID: MOUNT ST-LOUIS—ON7959
ADDRESS:4917 Line 4N,Oro-Medonte,ON
Mr. Karaiskakis,
FB Connect on behalf of Xplornet Communications Inc. is advising the Township of Oro-Medonte that
public consultation has been completed for Xplornet's proposed 45m self-support lattice tower site
located at 4917 Line 4, Oro-Medonte, ON.
The approval authority for wireless telecommunication towers is within ISED, under the
Radiocommunication Act. ISED's Radiocommunication and Broadcasting Antenna Systems—CPC-2-0-03,
Issue 5 outlines the process for the proponent to follow and encourages the establishment of policies
from the land-use authority as they are best positioned to contribute to optimum siting of facilities to
meet their own community needs.
ISED's Radiocommunication and Broadcasting Antenna Systems—CPC-2-0-03, Issue 5, can be retrieved at:
https://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/vwa pl/cpc-2-0-03-i5.pdf/$file/cpc-2-0-03-i5.pdf.
ISED requires the proponent to consult and obtain land-use authority concurrence in writing prior to
moving forward with a proposed installation. Oro-Medonte established policy 2012/407, For
Establishing Telecommunication Tower/Antenna Facilities, that was followed.
Municipal Consultation
Submitted an information package on February 17, 2021 that provided the Township of Oro-Medonte
with the following:
• Proposed Site Details
• Site Sketch
• Photo Rendering
• Co-location Opportunities Considered
• Map of Nearest Residential Zone or Dwelling
• Federal Requirements (including Transport Canada—Reviewed and determined no lighting
requirements)
• Site Plan
• Public Consultation Material

Public Consultation Process
Mail Notification
• Oro-Medonte requires mail notification to be sent to all property owners within 120m of the
proposed telecommunication structure.
• Mail notifications were sent to three (3) property owners on February 17, 2021 using the
mailing list provided by Oro-Medonte.
Notification Sign
• Oro-Medonte requires a notification sign to be posted on the subject property advising of an
open house.
• Notification sign was installed at the proposed entrance on the subject property on January
19, 2021.
Open House
• Oro-Medonte requires the proponent to hold an open house as public consultation.
• Due to COVID-19 pandemic a Virtual open house was held using Zoom meetings on March 17,
2021.
Virtual Open House Summary
Two residents, a local Councillor and a planner from Oro-Medonte attended a virtual open house held by
the proponent using Zoom meetings.
Presentation provided the following:
• Background information
• Site details
• Survey
• Photo rendering and example of similar tower
• Before/after coverage maps
• Health &Safety(SC6 and SC6 analysis)
Three concerns discussed:
Health & Safety—Concerned with the amount of energy emitted(including future equipment) with
proximity to residents.
Responded that the amount of energy emitted is regulated by Health Canada with Safety Code 6, similar
other jurisdictions/organizations. SC6 analysis completed and at ground level would be at 0.267%of
allowable exposure limits. Additional could be added in future that would change the amount of
exposure but would need to comply with SC6.
Aesthetics—Concerned of the aesthetics of the tower from residence of the adjacent property, suggestion
to located further north in next field separated by wooded area.
Response was to provide a site visit to review aesthetics from the adjacent property with a follow up
email response. A site visit was completed with photos from front of residence and road entrance. An
email response was provided along with the photos where proponent believes it would be very difficult to
Page 141 of 348
10.b) DS2021-76, Andy Karaiskakis, Senior Planner re: Telecommunication ...
see the tower as there is significant screening provided by the wooded area between the residence and
tower. At the entrance the it may be possible to see the top of tower above the pine trees along the
northern road allowance; however,the tower is located 200m further away and the pine trees provide a
fair amount of screening. It would be unreasonable to relocate the tower further north as it would
require significant removal of trees for access and hydro. Based on distance to property/residence and
existing trees the proponent believed the proposed location is reasonably situated and not considering
relocating to another location.
Co-location—Concerned rather than install new tower to utilize one of the two towers in immediate area.
Responded that the existing 65m self-support tower located 1.5km south was considered but as the
existing tower is 60m lower elevation and due to distance to proposed that Xplornet cannot achieve
coverage objectives (would limit extent of coverage due to topology blocking signal).
The second tower, 650m northwest of the proposed tower,was unknown during the virtual open house
and a site visit would be required to identify and review if colocation possible. Tower was identified and
email response provided that the tower owner has plans to install a wind turbine at the top which
Xplornet has concerns with vibration and microwave dish(es) issues. Additional concerns with Xplornet's
current and future equipment requirements which may restrict or impede future use of tower by owner
who uses it as a hub site for a business and requires the ability to add additional equipment. Xplornet
determined a new site was required.
Photos, photo reference map and co-location map provided in email responses are included as
attachments.
Request for Concurrence
A total of(3) property owners within 120m of the proposed 45m lattice tower were directly invited by
mail notification and the general public were invited by a notification sign posted on the subject property
at the proposed entrance to participate in this consultation process by attending the virtual open house.
Two residents participated in the virtual open house who their concerns were discussed, additionally
reviewed with site visit and provided an email response.
Provided there are no municipal concerns to address we are requesting on behalf of Xplornet
Communications Inc. to receive letter of concurrence from the Township of Oro-Medonte for the
proposed 45m lattice tower site at 4917 Line 4N, Oro-Medonte, ON as described in the information
package submitted on February 17, 2021.

Meeting Date: Motion #
May 26, 2021 Tile Drainage Loan
Applications
Roll #: R.M.S. File #:
4346-020-003 07800-0000
Recommendation(s): Requires Action For Information Only
It is recommended:
1 . That Report No. FI 2021-11, Tile Drainage Loan Application, be received
2. That Council provisionally approve the Tile Drainage Loan Application, up to a
maximum total amount of $50,000.00 for the property owner of Concession 9, PT
W1/2 LT 8, Coldwater, Ontario, Municipality of Oro Medonte to be financed over
ten (10) years, upon subsequent conditional approval by OMFRA funding.
Background:
The Tile Drainage Act R.S.0.1990, makes loans available for the drainage work on a
farm. A loan is obtained from the provincial government through Township Council.
Once the Township has passed a necessary borrowing bylaw, an assessed owner
may be eligible for a tile loan under this program and make an application to Council
for a loan under this program.
A summary of the loan program criteria is as follows:
• A municipality must ensure that it has a valid borrowing bylaw under the Tile
Drainage Act.
o The Township of Oro Medonte passed By-law 2020-049 for $500,000
on April 29, 2020.

10.c) F12021-11 , Shannon Johnson, Chief Financial Officer/Treasurer re: ...
• Landowners are eligible for a loan of up to 75 percent of the value of the
required tile drainage work; however, the sum of all tile loans issued in any
fiscal year, to an individual, as an individual, or in his role in a partnership or
corporation shall not exceed $50,000
• The approval of a loan application lies within the discretion of Township Council
and may either reject or approve the application, subject to the availability of
funds and any other conditions Council sees fit to prescribe. Council's
provisional approval allows work to begin on this tile drain.
• All tile loans have ten (10-year) terms, and the Municipality annually collects the
loan re-payments from the landowner through the landowner's property taxes
and then remits them to (OMAFRA).
• The provincial government sets the program interest rate at a competitive level.
This rate is fixed for the full term of the loan, regardless of changes in market
interest rates. The interest rate is calculated annually, not semi-annually, as is
done by most financial institutions. Defaulted payments are rare but are treated
in the same manner as unpaid taxes. The landowner may repay the loan in full
at any time
• Under Section 4 of The Tile Drainage Act the municipal tile inspector examines
work and files an Inspection and Completion Certificate along with a sketch of
the work, completes a Rating for By-Law for council to approve before the loan
is sent to Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs for their approval then
forwarded to Province for funding.
Analysis:
Township staff have received a Tile Loan application as shown in Schedule 1 attached
to the staff report.
Staff have prepared two (2) options per the application for Council to choose based on
Council's preferred risk and The Tile Loan program funding criteria.
Schedule la-1c: Concession 9, PT W1/2 LT 8
o Estimated Cost of Drainage Work is $74,350.83
0 75% of eligible estimated drainage work is $55,763.12
o Maximum program loan funding of $50,000

Council may choose not to provisionally approve the landowner's loan
application

Option 2:
Council may choose to provisionally approve the maximum program loan
funding of $50,000
Financial / Legal Implications / Risk Management:
The proposed tile drainage loan is to be funded by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food
(OMAFRA) at 6% per year for the next 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, although overdue accounts are subject to penalties and
interest of 1.25% per month.
Staff have confirmed that all property taxes on the stated property are paid up-to-date
as of the date of this staff report.

Recommendation(s): Requires Action For Information Only
It is recommended:
1 . That Report No. DS2021-077 be received and adopted.
2. That the Township of Oro-Medonte enter into a subdivision agreement with
Braestone Development Corporation for Phase 2 Group D, being 25 residential
lots;
3. That the Clerk bring forward the By-law to enter into the subdivision agreement for
Council's consideration;
4. That Staff arrange for the registration of the subdivision agreement by the
Township's Solicitor after any outstanding matters have been satisfied by the
developer.
5. And that the applicant be advised of Council's decision under the Director,
Development Services signature.
Background/Analysis:
Braestone Development Corporation is constructing a residential development located
south of the Horseshoe Valley Road between Line 8 North and Line 9 North as
identified on the attached location map (Attachment 1 — Location Map). The lands were
approved for a 230 lot residential subdivision in 1994 by the Ontario Municipal Board
(OMB). There were 35 draft plan conditions that formed part of the OMB approval,
which are required to be fulfilled in order to proceed to final registration.
The developer, Braestone Development Corporation, is developing the draft plan in
phases and has to-date achieved registration for the following Phases:
• Phases 1 A through 1 C consisting of 118 lots (Registered Plans 51 M-1070 and
51M-1113)
Development Services May 26, 2021
Report No. DS2021-077 Page 1 of 7
Page 156 of 348
10.d) DS2021-77, Andria Leigh, Director, Development Services re. Subdiv...
• Phase 2A and 2B consisting of 20 lots and 2 park blocks (Registered Plan 51 M-
1181)
• Phase 2E consisting of 27 lots (Registered Plan 51 M-1191)
The Phase 2D lands are zoned Residential One Exception 75 (R1*75), Open Space
Exception 77 (OS*77) and Environmental Protection Exception 79 (EP*79) to
accommodate the proposed development. In accordance with the conditions of draft
plan approval, lots adjacent to a wetland buffers (Lots 1 through 25) shall be subject to
Site Plan Control and shall be required to be zoned with Holding (H) provisions.
The developer has proceeded with pre-servicing for Phase 2D in accordance with an
agreement executed by Council. The Township's engineering consultant (Jones
Consulting) approved the Final Stormwater Management Report and approved the
engineering drawings on January 9, 2020 for Phase 2.
In accordance with the draft plan conditions, specific to this phase of the overall
development (Phase 2 Group D) the developer has now obtained favourable comment
letters or clearance letters from the following key agencies: Ministry of Natural Resources
and Forestry (comment letter dated August 4, 2020), Department of Fisheries and
Oceans (comment letter dated February 27, 2019), Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority (Permit No. 2019-11238, December 11, 2019), Enbridge Gas (clearance letter
dated April 1, 2021), Canada Post (clearance letter dated April 1, 2021), Bell Canada
(clearance letter dated November 14, 2019), Hydro One (clearance letter dated April 14,
2021). Currently the developer is seeking the final two outstanding clearance letters from
the Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board and Simcoe County District School
Board. Staff do not anticipate difficulty in obtaining these two final clearances as the
wording required by both has been incorporated into the Subdivision Agreement for this
phase, is consistent with the wording in the Subdivision Agreements for previous phases
all of which have received the required clearance letters from both school boards.
The Township of Oro-Medonte's requirements will be addressed through the execution
of the subdivision agreement and the Township will also provide clearances on behalf of
the former Simcoe County District Health Unit.
Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks has issued an Environmental
Compliance Approval for the Stormwater Management System (ECA # 3211-B9YS7J)
and for the municipal water treatment system (ECA # 3202-7MCRQM). This system is
operated by the Township but currently remains a non-municipal year round residential
drinking water system. Based on this a Form 1 — Record of Watermains Authorized as a
Future Alteration has been submitted to the Township by the Developer's Engineer for
the Phase 2 D watermain works.
The Developer is required to provide the Township with the required insurance certificate
and securities identified in Schedule "H" of the Subdivision Agreement in the amount of
$ 1 ,373,404.69 to ensure the completion of the services for the development. Both the
insurance certificates and the Letter of Credit have been received by the Township. The
subdivision agreement also identifies all of the lot (Lots 1-25) as being subject to Site Plan

Control and is required to be completed with the appropriate agreements executed and
registered prior to the issuance of building permits.
As part of the development of the previous phase (2E, now Registered Plan 51 M-1191)
the construction of Georgian Grande Drive to Line 8 North was completed to provide for
construction access for the westerly phases of the development and for emergency
access purposes given the number of developed residential lots that were solely being
accessed from Line 9 North and Georgian Grande Drive. These works, being Georgian
Grande Drive and the plunge pool, were constructed in the last phase but were not part
of the subdivision agreement and are therefore are being recognized in this subdivision
agreement in order to transfer the ownership and for the future assumption.
As Council is aware, the Township is the final approval authority for plans of subdivision
and for completion of the subdivision registration process. The Braestone (formerly
Buffalo Springs) draft plan was approved by the Ontario Municipal Board (now LPAT) in
1994. On December 9, 2019, the LPAT pursuant to subsection 51(56.1) of the Planning
Act delegate to the Township of Oro-Medonte the authority to clear conditions of draft
plan approval and to administer final approval of the plan of subdivision for the purposes
of subsection 51(58) of the Planning Act.
Due to the outstanding details noted above, it is Planning Staff's recommendation that
Council pass a by-law to authorize the execution of the subdivision agreement, but that
Staff only arrange for the registration of the agreement and completion of the final
approval process once all outstanding matters (outstanding final clearances, -final M-
Plan for signing) have been satisfied by the developer.
Financial / Legal Implications / Risk Management:
Addressed through the detailed provisions contained within the Subdivision Agreement
provisions and the required Insurance Certificate during construction and subdivision
development.
Policies/Legislation:
Planning Act
Corporate Strategic Goals:
The Township's following Strategic Goal is relevant to this application:
Balanced Growth:
• Ensure land use planning policies manage change and promote economic
activity that does not negatively impact the Township's natural heritage features
and attributes.

Conclusion:
On the basis of the request from the developer to enter into a subdivision agreement, it
is recommended that Council pass a by-law authorizing the execution of a subdivision
agreement with Braestone Development Corporation for Phase 2D, being 25 lots.
Upon the developer's completion of all outstanding matters (final clearances, M-Plan),
Staff will instruct the Township solicitor to proceed with the registration of subdivision
agreement.

10.e) CS2021-14, Donna Hewitt, Director, Corporate Services re: Ontario ...
Background:
As part of the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019 (CSPA), the Province enacted
a number of new Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) related legislative and regulatory
requirements. One of these is the implementation of a new OPP Detachment Board.
The Ministry is working towards the CSPA being proclaimed in early 2022.
Correspondence from the Ministry of the Solicitor General referencing the framework for
the development of these Boards was considered by Council at its April 14t" Meeting.
As outlined in the framework communication, municipalities and First Nation
communities receiving direct and/or supplemental services from an OPP detachment
are asked to work together to submit one proposal (per detachment) indicating the
composition of their board. If it is determined that multiple boards are needed for one
detachment, the proposal to be submitted needs to detail the rationale for that
recommendation and the composition of each additional board. Proposals must meet
the base requirements as set by the Ministry, which include a minimum number of five
members per board and a requirement that each board should be composed of 20%
community representatives and 20% provincial appointees reflecting the communities'
unique needs. It is expected that there will be representation from every municipality
receiving policing from the Detachment and that composition should also account for
the unique factors impacting OPP Detachments, such as geography, population size,
and service demands.
Municipalities and First Nations are not required at this time to identify the names of the
individuals that will be participating on the detachment board, rather, simply identify the
number of seats each municipality and First Nation will be allocated as well as the
number of community representatives and provincial appointments. After determining
the composition of the Detachment Board, municipalities within a Detachment area may
select one municipality to complete and submit the proposal. The cost to administer
these Detachment Boards, at this point, is to be borne by the participating municipalities
and First Nations following an agreed-upon costing structure.
In terms of responsibilities, the new OPP Detachment Board:
• Shall consider any community safety and well-being plan adopted by a
municipality that receives policing from the Detachment;
• May establish local policies, after consultation with the Detachment Commander
or his or her designate, with respect to policing in the area receiving policing from
the Detachment;
• Ensures local action plans prepared by the Detachment Commander address the
objectives and priorities determined by the Board;
• Provides a venue for the municipalities within a Detachment area to coordinate
and collaborate on strategies to address common issues that are not present
under the existing Police Services Act.
Currently, the Township of Oro-Medonte is serviced by the Orillia OPP Detachment
which is an integrated detachment also servicing the City Orillia and the Townships of
Ramara, and Severn. Consultations with the municipalities served by the Orillia OPP

Detachment have been held amongst both Chief Administrative Officers and Mayors to
gauge interest in this shared Detachment Board and potential structure/compositions
and cost-sharing models.
While the Township has enjoyed effective and collaborative relationships with previous
and current OPP Detachment Commanders, we have not had the opportunity to
participate on an OPP Detachment Board until these changes were mandated.
Participation on a Board of this nature will provide the following added advantages to
the municipality:
• Ability to consult with the OPP Commissioner regarding the selection of the
Detachment Commander and otherwise participate, in accordance with the
regulations, in the selection of the Detachment Commander;
• Ability to determine the objectives and priorities for the Detachment, not
inconsistent with the strategic plan prepared by the Minister, after consultation
with the Detachment Commander or his or her designate;
• Opportunity to advise, monitor and review the performance of the Detachment
Commander with respect to policing provided by the Detachment;
• Ability to be eligible for provincial grants such as R.I.D.E. (Reduce Impaired
Driving Everywhere), Community Safety and Policing - Local Priorities and
Provincial Priorities Funding Streams, etc.
Analysis:
As noted in the Background section, discussions have occurred amongst both CAOs
and Mayors from the four municipalities serviced by the Orillia OPP Detachment.
Based upon those discussions, two potential options for Board composition have been
discussed and are included in this report for consideration. Both options were
presented to the Councils of the City of Orillia and Townships of Ramara and Severn
with Option 1 as their recommended option. These recommendations were ultimately
supported by all Councils. However, it should be noted that the City of Orillia's motion
also included that a review of the OPP Detachment Board composition be completed
one-year following its establishment. The City of Orillia has agreed to submit the
required proposal to the Ministry on behalf of the 4 participating Board partners before
the June 7, 2021 deadline.
The following are the two options with Option 1 being the recommended and supported
model:
Option 1 :
One OPP Detachment Board comprised of 10 members with representation from the
City of Orillia as well as the Townships of Oro-Medonte, Ramara and Severn as follows:
- One elected representative from each municipality (being the head of the
municipal Council or, if the head chooses not to be a member of the Board,
another member of the Council appointed by resolution of the Council);
Corporate Services May 26, 2021
Report No. CS2021-14 Page 3 of 7
Page 165 of 348
10.e) CS2021-14, Donna Hewitt, Director, Corporate Services re. Ontario ...
- One community representative from each municipality (being one person
appointed by resolution of the Council, who is neither a member of the Council
nor an employee of the municipality); and
- Two provincial representatives appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council.
Rationale.-
Traditionally, these four municipalities have worked collaboratively on a broad number
of issues and share many cross boundary influences (access to services such as health
care and social services; business development and tourism and the recently completed
Community Index of Wellbeing assessment etc.) Since the integrated Orillia OPP
Detachment incorporates the City of Orillia as well as the Townships of Oro-Medonte,
Ramara and Severn, and given that Orillia is collaborating with the Townships to
develop a joint Community Safety and Well-Being Plan, it is the logical approach to
establish one OPP Detachment Board with equal representation from each municipality.
This is the first opportunity that the Townships of Oro-Medonte, Ramara and Severn
have had to have representation through a Detachment Board that affects the direction
of policing on behalf of their residents. Notwithstanding the somewhat limited role of the
Detachment Board, it is important to recognize the importance of equal representation
given the number of issues within our Township and across the broader area.
It is recommended that 10 member seats be assigned to the Board with one elected
representative and one community representative from each municipality, along with
two provincial representatives appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council
reflecting the unique structure of the four participating municipalities. This option
achieves more than the required 20% community representation with 40% community
appointees, while also maintaining 20% provincial representation.
The proposed Board size is optimal and manageable. Given it's size, there are greater
opportunities to attract broader skillsets, as well as draw on the work-life experiences
and diversity of the membership. Workload can be shared between the members to
maximize member engagement.
Once the CSPA is proclaimed with the new regulations, the OPP Detachment Board will
develop a Procedure By-law. Considering that the proposed composition involves an
even-number of Board members, a provision will be included in the Procedure By-law to
require that any motion on which there is an equal (tie) number of votes, it shall be
deemed to be lost.
Option 2:
One OPP Detachment Board comprised of 9 members with proportionate
representation from the City of Orillia and the Townships of Oro-Medonte, Ramara and
Severn determined based on the cost of policing for each municipality as follows:
- One elected representative each from the City of Orillia and the Township of Oro-
Medonte (being the head of the municipal Council or, if the head chooses not to
be a member of the Board, another member of the Council appointed by
resolution of the Council);
Corporate Services May 26, 2021
Report No. CS2021-14 Page 4 of 7
Page 166 of 348
10.e) CS2021-14, Donna Hewitt, Director, Corporate Services re. Ontario ...
- Two community representatives from the City of Orillia (being two people
appointed by resolution of the Council, who are neither members of the Council
nor employees of the municipality);
- One community representative from the Township of Oro-Medonte (being one
person appointed by resolution of Council, who is neither a member of the
Council nor an employee of the municipality);
- One elected or community representative from the Township of Severn;
- One elected or community representative from the Township of Ramara;
- Two provincial representatives appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council.
Rationale.-
This option determines Board composition based on the proportionate cost of policing
for each municipality. The table below identifies the population and estimated cost of
policing for each municipality served by the Orillia OPP Detachment:
Municipality Population Estimated Cost of Policing
City of Orillia 32,000 $8.6 million
Township of Oro-Medonte 21 ,000 $2.8 million
Township of Ramara 9,500 $1 .8 million
Township Severn 13,500 $2.3 million
TOTAL $15.5 million
This option proposes that 9 member seats be assigned to the Board with one elected
representative each from the City of Orillia and Township of Oro-Medonte, since their
costs for policing are the highest in the Detachment area. The City would be permitted
to assign two more member seats as community appointees, with Oro-Medonte being
permitted to assign only one community member seat. The Townships of Severn and
Ramara have the lowest costs for policing, and therefore would each only be granted
either one elected or community member seat to the Board. The Lieutenant Governor
in Council would be asked to appoint two provincial representatives reflecting the
unique structure of the four municipalities. This option achieves the required 20%
community representation and 20% provincial representation.
Financial / Legal Implications / Risk Management:
Financial Impact:
The proposal that is required to be submitted to the Ministry must outline the
administrative support required for the establishment and operation of the OPP
Detachment Board. As an example, the City of Orillia's Police Services Board currently,
has one Full-Time Equivalent position assigned to perform their administrative functions
reflective of the strategic focus established by that Board. The required support for the
new Detachment Board will need to reflect the objectives of the new Board. The four
municipalities will determine Board priorities and ultimately the level of administrative
support that will be required. It is also important to note that presently, the workload
that will be required to administer the Community Safety and Well-Being Plan is

unknown. The Plan is being presented to Council at the May 26t", 2021 meeting.
Lastly, in the first few months of the OPP Detachment Board's existence, work will be
required to integrate the City of Orillia's current Police Services Board with the new
Detachment Board - repealing and replacing existing policies and by-laws and designed
a new Board's website.
It is advisable that the City and Townships work together to determine the appropriate
level of administrative support required for the OPP Detachment Board. At a minimum,
the OPP Detachment Board's administrative support would be responsible for:
• Coordinating, preparing and distributing Board agendas and minutes;
• Attending all public, closed session and special meetings of the Board;
• Maintaining the Board's by-laws and all original contracts and agreements
executed into by the Board;
• Preparing and issuing all communications arising from the proceedings of the
Board;
• Providing advice to the Board on procedural matters and legislative
requirements;
• Researching, preparing and presenting reports as necessary to the Board and/or
Council;
• Preparing and administering the Board's annual Operating and Capital budgets;
• Acting as Freedom of Information Coordinator for the Board and processing
access to information requests;
• Preparing grant applications in consultation with the Orillia OPP Detachment
Commander or designate;
• Overseeing records management functions for the Board;
• Liaising with government officials, the Ministry, OPP, media, municipal
departments, and other external agencies;
• Maintaining, reviewing and approving material for the Board's website;
• Reviewing applications for parades and issuing parade permits on behalf of the
Board Chair and OPP Detachment Commander; and
• Providing orientation training to new Board members, as required.
While the actual costs of administration of the new OPP Detachment Board is not yet
established, it is safe to assume that the following categories of expenditures will be
required to support the affairs of the Board:
Salaries (Part-Time Administrative Support)
Remunerations and Honorariums for Board Members (to be determined)
Office Materials and Supplies/Advertising including Website Domain
Mileage
Audit Fees
Educational Seminars
Memberships
Option 1 - Equal representation between City of Orillia, Townships of Oro-Medonte,

Conclusion:
Although the CSPA supports the concept of proportionate representation, the City of
Orillia, Townships of Ramara and Severn and Township of Oro-Medonte staff do not
recommend this option but rather support the concept of equal representation and
related support as the option which best meets the needs of our communities. Board
members should represent not only their own municipalities, but the entire Detachment
area. It is an expectation that Board members provide objectivity and should not
advance the interests of any one municipality over others on the Board.
Staff recommends that Council support the establishment of a 10 member OPP
Detachment Board equally comprised of representatives from all four municipalities.

Roll #: R.M.S. File #:
Recommendation(s): Requires Action For Information Only
It is recommended that:
1. That report OCS-2012-12 be received and adopted;
2. That the Township of Oro-Medonte agree to participate in the City of Orillia's
revised parking permit program for adjacent Municipalities and administer the
program for Township residents;
3. That a letter be provided to City of Orillia under the Mayor's signature
thanking the City of Orillia for their reconsideration and the regional benefits
of the revised parking program;
4. That Township staff through the Emergency Management Control Group
continue to monitor and adapt programs as necessary to ensure the
protection of public health and the continuity of essential public services with
continued updates to Council.
Background:
The Township's COVID-19 pandemic response has required a dynamic approach in
order to protect the health and safety of the community while ensuring the continuity
and delivery of essential Township services.
The Township's provision of Community Services has been subject to many changes
over the past 14 months, requiring adaption to closures, restrictions, screening
protocols, increased cleaning and sanitization, issues associated with the use of
Township Parks and Facilities as well as the enforcement of public health regulations.

Throughout the spring and summer of 2020, the Township experienced increased use
and demand pressures along the Township's waterfront areas and recreational
amenities. This resulted in concerns relating to increased public health risk due to use
of these areas by non-residents, debris and litter, traffic safety (parking congestion),
trespass to property, nuisance behavior and compliance with regulations requiring the
need for amendments to the Township's Parking By-laws, increased Municipal Law
Enforcement and public communication.
The intent of this report is to provide Council with an update on plans for the 2021
spring and summer season and associated service level considerations.
Analysis:
Waterfront access and parking controls
In 2020, to address public safety and the influx of demand for waterfront amenities, the
Township made parking permits available to residents only through the issuance of
seasonal permits. This along with joint messaging from Municipalities along Lake
Simcoe targeted to the Greater Toronto Area was intended to reinforce provincial
regulations and address the potential influx of residents from urban areas to Lake
Simcoe communities.
Throughout the 2020 season, staff responded both proactively and to resident concerns
to address further parking restrictions along waterfront areas.
The following By-law amendments took place through the 2020 season:
• Permit parking on Line 15 North and around Bass Lake;
• Permit parking around Hawkestone Wharf;
• Permits parking at South Side Bass Lake Park and areas in close proximity;
• Permit parking in the area of Shelswell Park and Lakeshore Rd. W.;
• Additional permit parking in and around both the Shanty Bay boat launch and
Wharf;
• Additional permit parking and no parking areas in and around the Line 9 boat
launch;
• Increases in set fines and ticketing frequency.
Bylaw 2021-005 reflects the current consolidated parking by-law (Attachment #1).
In addition, lighting improvements and a gate were installed at the Shanty Bay Wharf to
deter nuisance behavior after 9pm.
Throughout 2020, both Municipal Law Staff and the Ontario Provincial Police proactively
patrolled Township parks and boat launches to ensure compliance with provincial
regulations and responded to a high volume of resident concerns.

Report No. OCS2021-12 Page 2 of 6
Page 171 of 348
10.f) OCS2021-12, Shawn Binns, Director, Operations and Community Servic...
As the parking restrictions evolved throughout the summer, many areas were not able
to have requisite signage installed due to timing of utility locates. All of the identified
areas have now had the required signage installed in preparation for 2021.
Staff have identified the need to implement additional parking restrictions on Line 9 S
between Lakeshore Road and Ridge Road to address parking issues associated with
the Boat Launch. The proposed by-law amendment will brought forward at the June 9,
2021 meeting of Council.
To address resident concerns at the South Side Bass Lake Park (Line 13) a gate will be
installed to restrict access similar to the Shanty Bay Wharf. It is anticipated that this will
be completed by the end of May.
In 2021 the Municipal Law Enforcement Division has taken the following additional
measures:
• Hiring an additional seasonal Municipal Law Enforcement Officers to augment
2020 staffing levels;
• Expanding the schedule to provide additional coverage throughout the
week/weekend at varying times of day/night;
• Introduced bike patrols, to increase the staff presence on the Rail Trail and other
areas of the Township;
As we move into the summer of 2021, it is staffs intent to continue the measures
implemented in 2020 and to continue to monitor the effectiveness of these controls
through the Township's Emergency Control Group and determine if additional measures
are warranted.
City of Orillia COVID-19 Parking
At its meeting of April 14, 2021 Council received communication from the City of Orillia
regarding its 2021 waterfront parking plan. Under the plan, non-residents would be
required to pay a $50.00 per day parking fee for the use of its waterfront parking lots
and boat launches June 1 — September 15, 2021, Friday — Sunday and Statutory
Holidays. The City extended an offer of a fixed fee $.50 per resident ($10,518 based on
the Township's population) to adjacent Municipalities to enable resident access to the
amenities without having to pay the per day parking fees. Council respectfully declined
the offer.
At its meeting of May 10, 2021, the City of Orillia reconsidered the proposal to adjacent
Municipalities and supported a revised program offering residents in adjacent
Municipalities seasonal parking permits for $50.00 per permit user fee which is to be
administered by the respective Municipalities with fees remitted to the City of Orillia.
In 2021 , the Township has implemented Perfect Mind a recreation management
software solution. The program was configured to allow for the issuance of parking
permits to administer the Township's Parking By-law. The software allows residents to
self-serve and print out a permit. Staff have reviewed the capabilities of the software

and the proposed administration of the City of Orillia parking program and determined
that the administration could occur fully digital through this program. This would allow
residents to self-serve, pay and print out the annual permit for use in Orillia. Fees would
be easily reconciled through financial reports which would be provided to the City of
Orillia. This would however require limited additional staff time with customer service
assistance in setting up accounts, remitting payments, communication and assistance
for those residents who may not be able to acquire permits digitally. No additional
administration fee is being recommended by staff for this resident support.
It is recommended that the Township participate in this program and advise the
City of Orillia accordingly; and that this be communicated with the Township's
seasonal program updates.
Township of Oro-Medonte Permit Parking
In preparation for 2021, all Township residents who received a seasonal resident
parking permit in 2020 were mailed a permit for 2021. Any new residents or residents
who did not receive a pass in 2021 are able to self-serve through the Perfect Mind
program discussed above.
As previously outlined, the Township did not provide waterfront parking to non-residents
in 2020. A very limited number of seasonal boat launch passes (50) were provided to
non-residents given limited parking capacity. In 2021, under the current state of
declared emergency and stay at home order this same approach will be continued. Staff
will continue to review the program through the Township's Emergency Control Group
and determine the need for changes. The existing digital platform has been configured
to allow for its use should the permit parking program be expanded to provide non-
resident day use at Memorial Park and the Line 9 Boat Launch in 2021.
Designated Swimming Areas
The Township has fielded several concerns from residents about watercraft mooring in
Hawkestone and at Carthew Bay and have addressed requests to install markers and
designated swim areas.
The regulation of waterways including Lake Simcoe and Bass Lake is not within the
Township's jurisdiction and scope of authority.
Transport Canada is responsible for the administration of the Canadian Navigable
Waters Act (CNWA), which prohibits the construction or placement of any "works" in,
on, over, under, through, or across a navigable waterway without complying with the
requirements of the Act. Transport Canada also administers the Private Buoy
Regulations under the Canada Shipping Act.
There is a lengthy process (12+ weeks) to gain approval under the Canadian Navigable
Waters Act to install a boomed off swim area. Designated and delineated swim areas
are only established in large public waterfront areas/beaches and do not provide any

powers for enforcing federal/provincial regulations. While staff understand that the
Hawkestone Wharf and Carthew Bay like many Township waterfront areas are well
utilized, they would not fall under this category, and as such is not something the
Township will be pursuing at this time.
The Township will continue to work with partner agencies to enforce relevant legislation
of these areas.
Sports fields
Under the current provincial stay at home order, outdoor amenities and sports fields
remain closed to the public. Many of the Township's sports groups have forfeited the
2021 season, while others are waiting for greater clarity in regulations. Township staff
continue to work with community partners in the safe reopening of these facilities in
accordance with the regulations and best practices.
Resource considerations
The 2021 approved business plans contain provisions to address the increase in
resource requirements for cleaning and sanitization, vehicles and equipment, health and
safety, signage, communications and enforcement. The Township's Senior
Management Team and Emergency Control Group will continue to monitor
requirements and business plans and report back to Council with any significant
changes to business plans or service levels.
Enforcement
The Township Municipal Law Enforcement Division continues to respond to complaints
and proactively enforce the provisions of the Emergency Orders and Reopening Ontario
Act. Some of those provisions include:
• The closure of non-essential businesses
• Prohibition of gatherings
• The closure of certain outdoor recreation amenities
Municipal Law continues to work collaboratively with our partner agencies to ensure
Public Health and Provincial guidelines are being followed and that residents safe and
enjoyable use of Township parks and outdoor amenities in 2021 .
Corporate Strategic Goals:
• Inclusive, Healthy Community
• Enhanced Communication and Customer Service

Conclusion:
Report OCS2021-12 has provided a review of current plans and controls to ensure
residents are afforded safe and enjoyable use of Township parks and amenities in
2021 .
Participation in the City of Orillia's revised waterfront parking plan and administration of
the program for Oro-Medonte residents will provide Township residents the ability to
access these services with a nominal user fee.
Given the continued high degree of uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 impacts and the
inherent need for service adjustments, Township staff through the Emergency
Management Control Group will continue to monitor and adapt programs as necessary
to ensure the protection of public health and the continuity of essential public services
with continued updates to Council.

Board Report
March 2021 (April 2021 Meeting)
Prepared by Suzanne Campbell, CEO
Service Recovery
In alignment with Emergency Orders from the Ontario Provincial Government for a province
wide lockdown beginning April 8 and continuing to May 20 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.
Service Delivery Model
A decision was made by the CEO with information provided to the Board Chair to remain in
Curbside Delivery Service Model while Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit remains in the "Red
Zone" as defined by provincial legislation. Provincial requirements for closures have been very
volatile during the Red Zone designation, with movement into Grey Zone or lockdown occurring
frequently over the last few months. Staff have developed excellent procedures for selecting
and delivering materials with Curbside Service providing safe service delivery for both our
customers and our staff.
Staff will be reviewing the provision of computer services for customers who do not have
access to computers while in the Red Zone. A booking system and entry plan is being reviewed
to determine if this service can be offered safely while in a Curbside Service Delivery model.
Staff are working on re-opening protocols based on orange zone requirements.

City Partnerships
The Facilities meeting was held in March.
Information Orillia continues to operate and is continuing to provide income tax services. Under
the Provincial guidelines they are allowed to provide a curbside version of services with pick-up
and drop-off. Provincial legislation allows social service agencies to operate in a Library
building.
Safety and Security
Gayle Jackson, City CAO and I met on March 31 and discussed the Safety and Security Issue.
The Facilities Department headed by Andrew Schell has set up a Security Review of the Library
to be completed by the OPP. A security review request was first initiated by Susan Dance with
contact information provided by Pat Hehn, so it is good to see this initiative move forward.
Shawn Shepperd, building manager and I will be walking the OPP team through the building on
April 27 after which the OPP will provide recommendations for staff safety and security.
On March 1st I attended a virtual meeting of Community Stakeholders wishing to comment on
policing issues as part of the OPP-Orillia Detachment's consultation process in the development
of an Action Plan. I presented information on the issues the Library experiences with
behaviour, and drug use in the Library in general and particularly in the washrooms. I also
shared information on the use of the Library by people facing home insecurity and mental
health challenges.
Contract for Service with the Chippewas of Rama
At the direction of the Board an offer of service was extended to Chippewas of Rama First
Nation through the Chippewas of Rama First Nation Public Library. To date, we have not had a
response on the Contract offer.
Megan, Melissa, and I met with Danielle Big Canoe Snake, Children's Library Programmer and
Lise Kwekkeboom, Director of Education on March 23. Contract and membership information
were shared and discussed. The contract does not include the option of representation on the
OPL Board as a request must be made from the Library Board to City of Orillia Council to
increase the membership. Danielle and Lise were made aware that both Severn and Oro-

Medonte have representation on our Board and would be sharing the information with the
Chippewas of Rama First Nation Council.
The Board will need to determine how representation will be accommodated on the Board.
Two options should be considered should representation be requested:
1. Increase the Board to 12 members.
2. Maintain an eleven-member Board changing a community position to a contract
representative position.
Staff can prepare a report for Board review should the Board require further information.
Library Partnerships
AMPLO held its quarterly meeting on March 5. This was a combined meeting with ARUPLO
(Administrators of Rural-Urban Public Libraries) and included a presentation by Linda Williams
from HRWilliams Law. Ms. Williams provides the members with a valuable overview of all
changes in HR legislation as well as a review of court decisions we should be aware of that may
impact HR practices in our Libraries annually.
Digital Strategy
Online Form Submissions
Beginning in January we migrated several document requests and staff workflows to online
form submission. This includes forms related to Covid-19 safety measures, staff services,
surprise bag requests, promotions and events, volunteer review submissions, and more. By
moving from hardcopy and e-mail requests to online form submission we have improved
internal communication, reduced the time and labour required to direct requests, collected
better usage statistics, and above all provided a more simplified and user-friendly experience
for patrons. With 20 forms currently published, we have already had hundreds of submissions,
representing a large amount of labour that would otherwise have been required to direct and
follow-up to these various service requests through e-mail alone.

Battle of the Books Virtual Book Club-I Will Survive Edition
The goal of this program was to create and/or continue a library habit with our customers ages 9-13 and
to highlight our Battle of the Books collection. Each participant received a 'Survival Kit'weeks before the
online event.The kits included a copy of The Barren Grounds by David A. Robertson to keep, a book
from the 'I Will Survive' category as well as activities and treats.There were 13 students registered and
11 participated in the online event. Each book club member had the opportunity to share a one-minute
book talk about what they read from the list. They worked as a team to complete a survival challenge
answering trivia questions from the books. Tom Earle the author of Home Ice Advantage did a virtual
Q&A and shared some of his inspiration photos of Maple Leaf Gardens from when he wrote the book.
The final minutes of the book club were spent voting on which titles should stay or go for next year's list.
The Barren Grounds will be added to the 2021-2022 list.

REPORT OF CIRCULATION AND TECHNICAL PROCESSING SERVICES
March 2021
Submitted by Melissa Robertson and Meagan Wilkinson
Transform Service Delivery
Circulation staff continue to provide exceptional service to curbside, including providing access
to new memberships. For those who are not able to come to curbside to register for a
membership but wish for online access, we continue to register e-access memberships which
can be created via email.
During phone conversations, Circulation staff recommend and market the various services the
library is currently offering, such as surprise bags or speaking with our RA staff.
Enhance Our Capacity
Pat Hopkins completed a successful performance review.
Meagan attended the TLC webinar "The Power of Analytics and LS2 Reports". This webinar
highlighted several useful reports for collection developing purposes and collecting statistics on
new borrowers. However, some of the reports are only available in the new upgrade, which we
do not yet have access to.
Meagan attended the Bibliotheca webinar "Rethinking how we measure the impact of
libraries". This webinar discussed the merits of use both quantitative and qualitative
information to grasp the full picture of the library's impact. The quantitative stats used often
see library use but not necessarily the value. The presenters suggest looking at the cultural
value impact to understand the value and impact of cultural experiences.
Meagan attended the webinar "DIY Conflict Resolution" through CharityVillage. This was a great
webinar with concrete strategies for employees and managers to use to resolve conflict in the
workplace.

campaign wrapped up in March. Melissa Robertson, Darrin Davis and Erin Damery created
social media content that highlighted our internal work and shared OPL resources available to
the public. 2021 #ITSTARTS posts included: sharing our Systemic Racism Statement,
highlighting the work we've done to Indigenize the catalog, how to use Hoopa curated content
for inclusivity/diversity, changes made to the J-Seasonal collection, Indigenous perspectives in
Children's, YA and Adult literature, Linkedln learning for businesses/organizations, a direct
response to a book club members' suggestion to further diversify content, and a pledge to
continue with #ITSTARTS throughout the year by posting monthly #ITSTARTS content. We
were pleased with the engagement we received on social media, making it our most successful
campaign to date.

Integrity
Recommendation Report
Complaint against Councillor Keane
Township of Oro-Medonte
May 14, 2021
Introductory Comments
[1] Principles Integrity was appointed the Integrity Commissioner for the Township of
Oro-Medonte January 1, 2018. We are also privileged to serve as Integrity
Commissioner for a number of other Ontario municipalities. The operating
philosophy which guides us in our work with all of our client municipalities is this:
The perception that a community's elected representatives are operating with
integrity is the glue which sustains local democracy. We live in a time when
citizens are skeptical of their elected representatives at all levels. The
overarching objective in appointing an integrity commissioner is to ensure the
existence of robust and effective policies, procedures, and mechanisms that
enhance the citizen's perception that their Council (and local boards) meet
established ethical standards and where they do not, there exists a review
mechanism that serves the public interest.
[2] Integrity commissioners carry out a range of functions for municipalities (and their
local boards). They assist in the development of the ethical framework, for example
by suggesting content or commentary for codes of conduct. They conduct
education and training for members of council and outreach for members of the
community. One of the most important functions is the provision of advice and
guidance to members to help sort out ethical grey areas or to confirm activities that
support compliance. And finally, but not principally, they investigate allegations that
a person has fallen short of compliance with the municipality's ethical framework
and where appropriate they submit public reports on their findings, and make
recommendations, including recommending sanctions, that council for the
municipality may consider imposing in giving consideration to that report.
[3] It is important that the integrity commissioner's broad range of functions be
mentioned at the outset of this investigation report. Our goal, as stated in our
operating philosophy, is to help members of the community, indeed the broader
municipal sector and the public, to appreciate that elected and appointed
representatives generally carry out their functions with integrity. In cases where
they do not, there is a proper process in place to fairly assess the facts and, if
Page 252 of 348

Principles
Integrity
necessary, recommend appropriate sanctions. In every case, including this one,
the highest objective is to make recommendations that serve the public interest, if
there are recommendations to be made.
[4] Our role differs from other `adjudicators' whose responsibilities generally focus, to
state it colloquially, on making findings of fact and fault. While that is a necessary
component when allegations are made, it is not the only component.
[5] Our operating philosophy dictates the format of this report. The tenets of procedural
fairness require us to provide reasons for our conclusions and recommendations,
and we have done that.
[6] In this regard, we have assessed the information fairly, in an independent and
neutral manner, and have provided an opportunity to the Councillor named in this
Report to respond the allegations and to review and provide comment on the
preliminary findings.
The Complaint
[7] On February 24, 2021 we received a complaint against Councillor Cathy Keane
alleging that the Councillor participated in and voted at the Annual General Meeting
(the AGM) of the Horseshoe Valley Property Owners Association (the HVPOA),
which was held virtually on February 3, 2021, although she is not a member of that
organization.
[8] The particulars of the complaint are that the Councillor:
• participated virtually in a private meeting to which she had not been
invited, cast votes on motions where she was not eligible to do so, and retained
an unauthorized recording of the private meeting;
• subsequently on February 8, 2021 she sent a letter to the HVPOA which was
aggressive, accusatory and contained multiple false statements; and
• threatened to take the matter to Council, in an effort to exert improper use of
influence of her office.
[9] The complaint alleges that the Councillor's actions are contrary to the Code of
Conduct.
Process Followed for the Investigation
[10] In conducting this investigation, Principles Integrity applied the principles of
procedural fairness and was guided by the complaint process set out under the
Code of Conduct.
[11] This fair and balanced process includes the following elements:
Page 253 of 348 2
15.a) Principles Integrity Report ; E-mail Request, Correspondence from ...
Principles
Integrity
• Reviewing the complaint to determine whether it is within scope and jurisdiction
and in the public interest to pursue, including giving consideration to whether the
complaint should be restated or narrowed, where this better reflects the public
interest
• Notifying the Councillor of the complaint against her and seeking her response
which included the following exchanges:
o On March 1, we notified the Councillor in writing of the complaint against
her and requested her written response by March 15
o On March 11, the Councillor forwarded screenshots of texts messages,
copies of emails from previous years from the Mayor and former Councillor
Courtanche relating to historic water fee issues involving the HVPOA
o On March 13, we acknowledged receipt of the documents, and specifically
requested a summary of events with an explanation regarding the conduct
alleged in the complaint
o On March 23, we interviewed the Councillor regarding the complaint. In the
course of the interview we requested the Councillor to identify a person
central to her version of the events so that we could corroborate her story
(referenced later in this report). Despite being informed of her obligation to
provide the person's contact information, the Councillor refused to provide
it, or to provide a USB stick relevant to her narrative
o On March 27 we arranged for a summons to be served on the Councillor to
compel the Councillor to provide the information requested on March 23rd
The Summons required the Councillor to attend a Zoom meeting on April 1,
and to deliver the USB stick to the Clerk in a sealed envelope addressed to
us
o On April 1, Councillor Keane attended the pre-scheduled Zoom meeting,
having retained legal counsel who attended with her, where she was
interviewed under oath
• Interviewing other witnesses with information relevant to the complaint
• Reviewing the Code of Conduct, relevant documents, emails, and the recording of
the HVPOA AGM
• Providing the Councillor with an opportunity to review and respond to the draft
findings of the Integrity Commissioner
• Reviewing the submission provided by the Councillor's legal counsel, and giving
those submissions careful consideration before finalizing our Recommendation
Report, providing additional clarification where appropriate
Context and Background
The Ethical Foundation — The Code of Conduct
Page 254 of 348 3
15.a) Principles Integrity Report ; E-mail Request, Correspondence from ...
Principles
Integrity
[12] The Township of Oro-Medonte has as part of its ethical framework a Code of
Conduct which is the policy touchstone underlying the assessments conducted in
this report. The Code of Conduct represents the standard against which all
members of Council are to be measured when there is an allegation of breach of
their ethical responsibilities.
[13] The complaint identified a number of Code provisions that Councillor Keane had
contravened. In our view, the provisions of the Code most relevant to our findings
are as follows:
General Introduction:
Members of Oro-Medonte Council recognize their obligation to serve their
constituents and the public in a conscientious and diligent manner
understanding that as leaders of the community, they are held to a higher
standard of behaviour and conduct.
Members recognize that ethics and integrity are at the core of public
confidence in government and in the political process...
This Code of Conduct ensures that Members of Council share a common
basis and understanding for acceptable conduct of Members of Council, in
concert with and beyond the minimum standards of behaviour set out in the
existing legislative framework.
Customers First!
Creativity and Innovation
Honesty, Fairness, and Respect
Courageous and Responsible Decision-Making
Openness
Engagement
[emphasis added]
[14] One fundamental quality which the public looks for in their political representatives
is honesty. If there is not honesty, there is no possibility of building a culture of
ethical integrity.
[15] Honesty forms the foundational building block for trust. Trust, hard-earned, is easily
broken.
[16] While the facts of this investigation appear complicated, the findings can be distilled
into one simple point: the Code of Conduct requires Members of Council to tell the
truth.

The HVPOA
[17] The Horseshoe Valley Property Owners Association (HVPOA) is an association
formed of homeowners within a defined catchment area in Horseshoe Valley, within
the Township of Oro-Medonte.
[18] The HVPOA has been in existence for about 40 years and has been incorporated
since 2006.
[19] Members of the HVPOA pay an annual $25 membership per household and the
work of the association is undertaken by an unpaid board of directors and
volunteers.
[20] There are about 550 households' who are members of the HVPOA, representing
more than half of the properties located within its catchment area.
[21] The HVPOA is but one of a dozen property owners associations (POAs)within Oro-
Medonte, although likely the largest. There is no formal relationship between
property associations in Oro-Medonte and the Township. In other words, there is
no registration process with the Township, they do not enjoy special privileges, nor
are they subject to any conditions beyond those which apply to ordinary citizens
when dealing with the Township on municipal business.
[22] The HVPOA focuses its efforts on enhancing the quality of community life,
organizing events and activities, and advocating on issues of interest affecting its
members.
[23] The HVPOA catchment area, covering some 800+ households (although as noted,
not all are members), falls within Ward 1, with the exception of the 26 households
on High Vista Drive which are within Ward 3.
[24] Councillor Keane is the Councillor representing Ward 3. Another Councillor, Ian
Veitch, represents Ward 1, being the vast majority of the HVPOA area.
The AGM
[25] The HVPOA holds an Annual General Meeting (AGM) at which its members vote
on mandatory matters such as filling vacancies on the Board of Directors, approving
the Budget, and adoption of the Financial Statements.
[26] Typically, the HVPOA would hold its AGM in person, but with the directives
requiring physical distancing imposed as a result of the current COVID-19
1 Membership of the HVPOA fluctuates depending on paid-up dues,and at the time of this investigation was
between 520-560.

pandemic, the HVPOA executive set about to host a virtual electronic AGM for its
membership.
[27] Taking advantage of the technological expertise of one of their members, the
HVPOA set up a secure webinar on which members could log in with a password,
which permitted secure and verifiable voting technology.
[28] In advance of the AGM, the executive emailed every member in good standing an
email link to the AGM, together with dial-in instructions, along with a password.
[29] Only members in good standing were invited, along with the one additional invitee
who was a guest speaker— the owner of a new spa in the area.
[30] The emailed invitation containing the link, call-in number and password, stated as
follows:
As a HVPOA Member in good standing you are invited to attend the
Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Members.
Due to the pandemic, the meeting will be held virtually. To access the
meeting domestically or internationally, by computer or phone, please
follow the instructions below.
[31] Other than the guest speaker, no non-members of the HVPOA were invited, nor
were any other individuals provided the link or the password.
[32] No member of Council was invited to attend the AGM, although occasionally, in the
past, when the AGM was held in a large hall, it was not unheard of to invite the
Mayor and the Councillors for Ward 1 and 3.
[33] No member of Council is a member of the HVPOA.
[34] The AGM took place the evening of February 2, 2021. Members heard from the
guest speaker, then the business of the meeting was conducted, and votes were
taken by online polling enabled through the technology.
Verifyinq the Vote
[35] Following the meeting, in verifying the eligibility of each voter (by matching their
`metadata', the recorded information that identifies them, such as their email or
telephone number, with the membership registration information), the HPVOA was
not able to match the email caprix101(abhotmail.com with any registered member.
Page 257 of 348 6

Principles
Integrity
[36] The electronic records indicated that the unknown attendee had participated,
submitting questions, and voted on the Financial Statement and Budget of the
HVPOA.
[37] The day following the AGM, the executive sent an email to the unknown attendee
which included:
Thank you for attending the HVPOA AGM last evening. The
webinar link was only sent to HVPOA members in good standing.
We cannot find your email address in our membership database
or our new distribution list.
Can you confirm your membership by providing a name so we can
ensure you were eligible to attend and more importantly to vote.
[38] When no response was forthcoming following the email, the HVPOA had an email
registration search conducted to determine ownership of the unknown attendee.
[39] The search disclosed that the unknown email is registered to Cathy Keane.
Councillor Keane's Letter to the HVPOA
[40] On February 8, 2021 the HVPOA received a letter from Councillor Cathy Keane,
which began:
It has come to my attention the HVPOA held its AGM on
February 3, 2021[sic]. A longtime resident who watched and
recorded the meeting has contacted me and asked for my
interpretation of what was said by various members of the Board
that night.
[41] The letter raised concerns about information at the AGM, and stated:
I now have a video of the HVPOA 2021 AGM.
[42] The letter went on to suggest that the AGM deliberately misrepresented and
misinformed its members, and chastised the HVPOA for failing to notify two Oro-
Medonte Councillors and the Mayor of the AGM, concluding as follows:
Should the HVPOA Board of Directors fail to satisfactorily
correct this misrepresentation to the public, or I have not

Principles
Integrity
received a satisfactory response by February 26, 2021 1 will be
taking this matter to Council with a recommended action.
[43] For the HVPOA executive, the letter confirmed the suspicions of the HVPOA
executive that Councillor Keane had, under cover of anonymity and without
authority, participated and voted at their AGM.
[44] They felt their carefully-organized members-only meeting had been trespassed;
they experienced the accusatory tone of the letter as hurtful and offensive, and the
concluding statement as threatening.
[45] On February 25 and again on March 19 the HPVOA wrote Councillor Keane asking
that she clarify the purpose of her involvement in the AGM, and to return to them
any record of the meeting. Councillor Keane did not respond.
Analysis and Findings:
Standard of Proof
[46] In making findings of fact, Integrity Commissioners in Ontario adhere to the
standard of proof for fact-finders in civil cases known as the `Balance of
Probabilities'.
[47] This means it is more likely true than not that the alleged conduct occurred. This
is a lower threshold than the criminal standard of proof "beyond a reasonable
doubt".
[48] Where we make findings of fact, we are making these on a balance of probabilities
that the alleged event occurred.
Participatinq and votinq at AGM
[49] Councillor Keane has admitted that her email was used to log on to the HVPOA
AGM.
[50] When first interviewed on March 23, the Councillor insisted she was provided with
a link to the AGM, and subsequently a USB stick with the recording, by an
`acquaintance/friend' who was a member of the HPVOA. She further insisted that
it would be a betrayal of that person to reveal their identity to us, even for the limited
purpose of corroborating her evidence to us. She maintained this position
notwithstanding our advice to her of the importance of the corroboration and her
obligation to answer our questions.
[51] Subsequently, under oath, she advised that the email from the HVPOA inviting
members to participate in the AGM was forwarded to her Township email by Mayor
Page 259 of 348 8
15.a) Principles Integrity Report ; E-mail Request, Correspondence from ...
Principles
Integrity
Hughes, and that she then forwarded it to her home email,
caprix101(a)hotmail.com.
[52] The Councillor advised that she frequently forwards communications from her
Township email to this personal email address, in order to print them. She has
advised us that she was forwarded the invitation (which contained a link and
password) for members of the HVPOA to the attend the AGM by the Mayor, who
often forwards HVPOA emails to her. The Mayor receives them from his son who
is a resident of Horseshoe Valley and a member of the HVPOA.
[53] The Mayor's son has confirmed that it is his practice to forward HVPOA information
he receives by email to his father; the Mayor confirmed that it is his practice to
forward these on to Councillor Keane and the other members of Council.
[54] Councillor Keane has advised that she did not watch the AGM while it was
occurring, and that she did not vote at the AGM.
[55] She provided screen shots of text messages time-stamped the evening of February
2, 2021 demonstrating she was otherwise occupied during the time the AGM was
being conducted.
[56] She insists that it was only following the meeting when she learned that her
husband had logged on to the meeting and participated using the email.
[57] Initially, the Councillor advised us that her husband had not recorded the AGM, but
that she had obtained a copy of the video on a USB stick a few days later, from the
`friend/acquaintance' who is a member of the HVPOA.
[58] She was at pains to explain that she felt very uncomfortable sharing the identity of
the `friend/acquaintance' who had provided the USB stick, without first speaking
with them, as she had promised them confidentiality.
[59] She told a compelling story, demonstrating her honourable desire to protect the
identity of the `friend/acquaintance', who was an innocent party and might not wish
to have their identity revealed. We undertook not to reveal the person's identity,
wishing only to corroborate her story. That story turned out not to be true.
[60] Following the issuance of a summons to the Councillor to produce the USB stick
and re-attend a scheduled Zoom interview, the Councillor was questioned again —
this time under oath, in the presence of legal counsel (it was the first time we have
felt it necessary to administer an oath in the course of an investigation).
[61] Under oath, the Councillor advised us that there never was a USB stick with a
recording of the AGM, that there was no `friend/acquaintance' who had provided it
Page 260 of 348 9
15.a) Principles Integrity Report ; E-mail Request, Correspondence from ...
Principles
Integrity
to her, and that her husband had recorded the AGM which she had viewed in the
days that followed the meeting, on the family's iPad.
[62] Our sole purpose in issuing the summons was to obligate the Councillor the provide
the identity, which she was reluctant to reveal to us voluntarily, of the individual who
might corroborate the Councillor's version of events. Essentially, we sought to
verify her story that she had not participated in the AGM but merely watched a video
of it at the request of a `friend/acquaintance'.
[63] To summarize her revised evidence, the Mayor had forwarded the email containing
the AGM invitation to the Councillor's Oro-Medonte email address, she then
forwarded the email to the caprix101(a)hotmail.com email address for the purpose
of printing it, her husband, who shares the email account, then read the message
and decided of his own accord to attend the meeting and vote, and she
subsequently viewed a recording of the meeting he had made on the family iPad.
[64] We have not touched on the appropriateness of the Councillor forwarding Township
emails to a shared email account, however, caution should be exercised because
the Councillor may be inadvertently sharing sensitive Township information with her
husband when she does so.
[65] Her letter of February 8 to the HVPOA indicates that she may not have seen the
meeting herself until several days later:
It has come to my attention the HVPOA held its AGM on
February 3, 2021. A longtime resident who watched and
recorded the meeting has contacted me ...
I now have a video of the HVPOA 2021 AGM.
[66] We find it more likely than not that the Councillor did not in fact watch the AGM until
following the event; we find it more likely than not that she watched the AGM for
the first time on a video recording of the meeting; based on her evidence under
oath, she watched it on the family iPad.
[67] It is clear that Councillor Keane's husband participated in the AGM, submitted a
question for consideration, and did vote on the Budget and Financial Statement,
being one of only 3 votes against approval (76 in favour).
[68] However, rather than disclose this to the HVPOA — they had sent an email to the
caprix101(cDhotmail.com address on February 3 in an attempt to verify and confirm
the unknown address that linked to the AGM — the Councillor ignored, deflected
and misrepresented.
Page 261 of 348 10
15.a) Principles Integrity Report ; E-mail Request, Correspondence from ...
Principles
Integrity
[69] Her letter of February 8, 2021 suggesting she was coming to the aid of a `longtime
resident', demonstrates that she was well-aware that the participation from her
email was one of an unauthorized interloper.
[70] We find that the Councillor attempted to obfuscate and obstruct our investigation.
[71] The `cover up' of participation became the focus of her narrative, which we were
then obligated to methodically untangle.
[72] The Councillor first insisted that she obtained the recording on a USB stick from a
`friend/acquaintance'; after we served her with a summons requiring her attend a
Zoom meeting under oath and to produce the USB stick, the story changed. She
advised that her husband had recorded the meeting, contradicting her previous
statements to us.
[73] We find that in addition to misleading the HPVOA in her letter of February 8, the
Councillor intentionally misled us, gave two different accounts of how she was able
to view the AGM, and resisted our attempts to corroborate her story.
[74] To justify having misled us, she explained that she did not want to get someone
else in trouble; that she was confused; that she was distracted by other events in
her life.
[75] She advised us that she did not receive the email from the HVPOA attempting to
verify the participant's legitimacy as a member.
[76] We do not accept the Councillor's evidence that she did not receive email from the
HPVOA requesting caprix101 to identify themselves. It was sent to
caprix101 CUDhotmail.com. There is no indication that it `bounced back' to the
HVPOA.
[77] As part of her justification for viewing the recording of the meeting, she also told us
that Councillor Veitch, who lives within the HVPOA catchment area and who
represents the vast majority of its residents, participated in the HVPOA AGM.
[78] We find that this assertion is nothing more than a deflection.
[79] The two mentions of Councillor Veitch during the AGM amounted to a `shout-out'
to him by the guest speaker, who was quoting him in praising the benefits of spas;
and a comment to members that a particular issue was to be discussed at an up-
coming town hall meeting at which Councillor Veitch would be present.
[80] There is no evidence that Councillor Veitch was present at the AGM. He has
advised us that he did not participate, and we are satisfied that he did not.
Page 262 of 348 11
15.a) Principles Integrity Report ; E-mail Request, Correspondence from ...
Principles
Integrity
[81] In any event, whether Councillor Veitch did or did not participate is a moot point.
As a resident of Horseshoe Valley, he is entitled to register his household as a
member, and his household would be entitled to participate in the AGM.
[82] Councillor Keane also advised us that, in the past, the Mayor and Councillors
representing the area would be invited to the AGM, and we believe that to be true.
[83] In our view, however, past practice is not relevant to the issues under review.
Neither the Councillor or her husband were invited to attend this AGM, and were
certainly not entitled to vote.
Aggressive, accusatory letter to HVPOA an effort to exert improper use of influence
[84] The February 8, 2021 letter from Councillor Keane to the HVPOA Board of Directors
lays out alleged deliberate misrepresentations and misinformation purportedly
attributed to the HVPOA.
[85] The purported misinformation and misrepresentations arise out of a water and
wastewater rate issue, which has been a point of contention between the Township
and the HVPOA. There is significant history to the matter, but that history is mostly
peripheral to the objectives of this report, and so we do not describe it in detail here.
Put simply, both the Township, the HPVOA and other interested parties to the issue
are entitled to their perspectives and to pursue their objectives through legitimate
legal and political processes.
[86] In essence the Councillor's letter accused the HVPOA of lying to its membership at
the AGM.
[87] The letter accuses the HVPOA of "doubling down" on `misinformation' and
concludes with the statement:
Should the HVPOA Board of Directors fail to satisfactorily correct this
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.
[88] It is fair to perceive this statement as a threat, although it is not entirely clear what
is being threatened. But even an empty threat is a threat.
[89] The Councillor advised us, when questioned about what action she expected
Council to undertake or what she intended, that her goal was to have Council direct
Township communications staff to provide more and better information publicly
regarding the water and wastewater rate issue, to counter any misunderstanding
by residents of Horseshoe Valley.

[90] Presumably, the Township is able, at any time, to provide more robust information
to the public and residents of Horseshoe Valley regarding the water and wastewater
issue. The Councillor can bring a motion to request this at any time.
[91] In any event, the HVPOA responded to the February 8 letter, providing a matrix of
information which contradicted the Councillor's statements and taking the position
that the HVPOA had not misrepresented or misinformed its membership.
[92] In her lawyer's response to our Findings, it is suggested that the February 8 letter,
read in its entirety, seeks to have the HVPOA clarify its position with respect to
matter that relate to and are within the jurisdiction of Oro-Medonte Council, and set
the context for the Councillor's demand that the HVPOA Executive "correct the
misrepresentation to the public or provide an explanation".
[93] This assertion does not accurately reflect the facts: that the HVPOA had not, at any
time during the AGM, misrepresented or misinformed its membership; that the
Councillor's letter was aggressive and accusatory, and erroneous.
[94] For reference, we are attaching to this Report both Councillor Keane's February 8
letter to the HVPOA, and the HVPOA's matrix of information provided in response
to the Councillor.
[95] The HVPOA executive is a volunteer group whose primary motivation is to serve
the membership and support the quality of life in their community.
[96] Many on the executive are retired professionals whose knowledge and expertise is
reflected in the sophistication of the way the HVPOA is run.
[97] Some of the HVPOA executive attempted to reach out to the Councillor in the fall
of 2020 to improve their relationship, without success.
[98] There is no evidence that the Councillor put any effort to improve her relationship
with the HVPOA.
[99] As an aside, there is a longstanding history (too complicated to set out here in
detail) of friction between the HPVOA and members of Oro-Medonte Council that
has spanned several terms. It appears that there is some entrenchment, and that
the HPVOA is somehow seen as a political threat.
[100] Ultimately, the HVPOA executive was shocked to receive the Councillor's letter.
Not only was the Councillor an unauthorized interloper in the AGM, but her
aggressive accusatory tone was in their view unsupported on the facts.

[101] It caused significant distress to the HVPOA executive to be accused of lying to their
own membership, and to be threatened with the purported consequence of`Council
action'.
[102] We find that the Councillor's letter was aggressive and accusatory, and that it
represented an effort to exert influence over the HVPOA executive.
[103] The Councillor's closing statement in her letter is an ultimatum: give me a
satisfactory response by February 26 or 1 will take the matter to Council for action.
[104] In some contexts, the statement `I will take the matter to Council for action', would
be completely appropriate as parties take positions in an attempt to negotiate a
resolution to a disputed matter. In this instance, recognizing that the Township has
no oversight role or authority over the HVPOA nor over any other property owners'
association, it was fair of the HPVOA to consider the Councillor's words ominous
and worrisome.
[105] We find that the Councillor's threat, made in the form of an ultimatum, was an
improper attempt to exert the influence of her office to coerce the HVPOA executive
to issue different information to its members.
[106] The findings in this investigation are important not only in determining whether the
conduct and behaviour of the Councillor breaches the Code of Conduct and
warrants sanction, but in providing clarification and guidance for other POAs within
Oro-Medonte as to their rights and obligations in conducting their own AGMs vis-a-
vis municipally elected officials. In this regard, we have heard from one other POA
seeking such guidance as a result of their becoming aware of the HVPOA
experience.
[107] Although we do not find that the Councillor participated virtually in the AGM as
alleged, we find that she watched a recording of the meeting improperly obtained;
subsequently sent a letter to the HVPOA which we find was aggressive, accusatory
and contained erroneous statements; and that she improperly attempted to exert
the influence of her office to pressure the HVPOA executive.
[108] We find that this conduct is contrary to the Code of Conduct.
[109] Moreover, we find that the Councillor's attempts to mislead and obfuscate during
our investigation is conduct contrary to the Code of Conduct.
Concludinq Remarks
[110] Throughout our investigation, up to and including submissions by legal counsel,
there has been an absence of acknowledgment by the Councillor that her viewing
Page 265 of 348 14
15.a) Principles Integrity Report ; E-mail Request, Correspondence from ...
Principles
Integrity
of the AGM video was inappropriate, or that her February 8 letter to the HVPOA
was aggressive, erroneous in its accusations, and out of line.
[111] Much of our investigation would have been simplified had the Councillor admitted
her actions at the outset.
[112] As noted earlier, the purpose of a Code of Conduct and the appointment of an
Integrity Commissioner is to ensure that the public understands that municipal
elected officials generally carry out their functions with integrity, and where they do
not, a process exists to fairly assess the facts and, if necessary, recommend
appropriate sanctions.
[113] In every case the highest objective is to make recommendations that serve the
public interest. An integrity commissioner's investigation is not a litigation between
opposing parties, nor is a complaint equivalent to a charge laid against a defendant,
where a technicality can result in an acquittal.
[114] While our findings have focused on the allegations specified in the complaint, we
have also found, through our investigation, that the Councillor's attempts to mislead
and obfuscate are not appropriate behaviours and are contrary to the principles
underlying the Code.
[115] While it has been pointed out in legal submissions that the integrity commissioner
is without authority to initiate an investigation themself, we are of the view that
conduct which is revealed during the course of a properly initiated complaint may
be considered in the integrity commissioner's findings and recommendation report.
Recommendations
[116] The integrity commissioner may recommend that certain sanctions be imposed
when a complaint has been sustained. A monetary penalty, although not remedial,
can have a salutary effect and serve as a deterrent where it is felt necessary.
[117] The Municipal Act contemplates sanctions including a reprimand or the suspension
of pay for up to 90 days. In many circumstances, the mere daylighting of an issue
is sufficient consequence to result in improved conduct and general deterrence.
[118] In light of all of the above considerations, we recommend that Council impose a
formal reprimand.
[119] We therefore recommend:
1. That Council pass the following resolution:
Page 266 of 348 15

That having been found to have breached the Code of Conduct for the
Township of Oro-Medonte, that Councillor Cathy Keane be and is hereby
formally reprimanded.
2. That this report be posted on the Township of Oro-Medonte web site for
public access.
[120] We wish to conclude by publicly thanking those who participated for their time and
contributions to our investigation.
[121] We will be pleased to be in attendance when this report is considered to respond
to questions.

Attn: HVPOA Board of Directors
(Linda Myles; Sonia Faryna; Lori Hutcheson; Marla Hammond;Nanci Brown; Mike Vanderlee;
Jack Lynch; Richard Quinney; Linda Delottinville; Todd Vanzuilekom; and Susan Carmichael):
It has come to my attention the HVPOA held its AGM on February 3, 2021. A longtime resident
who watched and recorded the meeting has contacted me and asked for my interpretation of what
was said by various members of the Board that night.
There is much concern over the Associations 2020-2021 budget item of $15,000, which the
HVPOA Executive has said is designated for"our fight with the Township". There are questions
surrounding the HVPOA's lack transparency in the response (or lack thereof)to: name removed
question about voting separately on the 2020-2021 Budget and the acceptance of the 2020 financial
statements; the question posed by residents as to why there is a need for $4,700 in Insurance for
the Association; and,why the"Special Proj ects" account increased when last years$10,000 budget
only saw $3,102 used.
This individual was very surprised when I said, I (as Ward 3 Councillor representing a portion of
residents in Horseshoe Valley), was neither notified nor invited as a guest to the HVPOA AGM.
What was more surprising was the repeated discussion regarding Eagles Rest Estates and the guest
speaker was representing a business located in Ward 3 (both of which are clearly in Ward 3 and
outside Horseshoe Valley settlement area).
I now have a video of the HVPOA 2021 AGM. The following misinformation and contradictions
made by members of the HVPOA Executive raises concerns beyond the$15,000 budget allocation
and items mentioned above. The statements made by the HVPOA Executives regarding the private
WWTP and the continued request to reduce water rates in Zone 2 are not entirely correct. At best,
information was fragmented and very misleading. Below are comments made that I ask the
HVPOA to publicly address and clarify with residents:
1) The Township of Oro-Medonte and Council is responsible for alleged financial
"discrepancies" and increased costs for residents on Skyline's wastewater system.
I am aware this false narrative was propagated during the last election. A number of
Horseshoe Valley residents are attributing the source of these false comments being
from members of the HVPOA Board and its executives (The recent comments made
during the AGM appear to give added credence to this belief).
Page 268 of 348 17
15.a) Principles Integrity Report ; E-mail Request, Correspondence from ...
By-law No. 2015-188 verifies the Council of the day interceded, at a sizable cost to all
Township taxpayers, to avoid Skyline implementing a notable increase the private
wastewater fees at the time, and perhaps more importantly, since that time.
It appears comments made at the AGM were a deliberate misrepresentation of the
process that occurred several years ago while omitting the 5+ years without a
wastewater fee increase. The portrayal given at the AGM left residents believing, and
implied there have been rate increases and misdirected funds since the Township took
over billing.
On one hand to comment there were "discrepancies" in wastewater billing "within
months" of the Township taking over the billing, while in another comment showing
knowledge of the Township interceding to freeze rates, by being advised by KPMG to
keep the rates the same until the Township can enter another agreement shows
contradictions in the narrative. There appears to be an ongoing divide between the
HVPOA spoken word and the provable fact. Thus bringing into question the reason
related to the statement continuing to be made.
To be clear, one only needs to review the billings to see there have been no increases
to Skyline WWTP since the Township conditionally agreed to do the billing for
Skyline.
2) The HVPOA's contradiction about water rates.
A statement was made about the HVPOA trying to persuade the Council of the day to
lower the water rates in Zone 2. This was at a time when the water reserves were in
deficit. The Council of the day would have been acting contrary to Provincial
regulations if the HVPOA recommendations had be followed. The HVPOA recurring
failure to state and/or clarify when Council is acting according to legislation and
regulations and is thereby acting in the best interest of its residents and the municipality.
In contradiction to the HVPOA claims to be advocating for reduced water rates in Zone
2, the HVPOA has recently publicly pledged up to $10,000 of HVPOA members
monetary contributions (through membership fees and fundraising efforts) to aid in a
legal challenge that could have all current municipal water users pay approximately
$1,000/household for Zone 1 water users to integrate to a system free of charge.
As you are aware through HVPOAs research and meetings with Council and staff in
the past: for decades Zone 1 water users have contributed substantially less to capital
infrastructure; The cost of Zone 1 users integration to a municipal system,if fully borne
by the current municipal water users throughout the Township, which includes
Horseshoe Valley's Zone 2 users, could be approximately an additional $1,000. [This
amount does not include potential associated legal costs should a legal challenge arise,
that would also be placed on and borne by municipal water users through the use of
funds in municipal water account(s)].

The reoccurring misinformation without validity by the HVPOA,is leaving residents with negative
connotations directed toward Oro-Medonte Council(s). As viewed during the 2020-2021 HVPOA
AGM, it makes it very difficult to understand how the HVPOA Board of Directors is working to
fulfill its mandate of Making Horseshoe Valley and Even Greater Place to Live.
Horseshoe Valley Memorial Park with trails and recreational equipment,the site for a new school,
the Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic with the OPP facility being in Horseshoe Valley, and the
Headquarters of Oro-Medonte Fire and Emergency Services with their contribution to the
community, all serve as only a partial list of successes of past HVPOA Boards working
cooperatively and inclusively with Township staff and Council.
According to the resident, in years long past, the HVPOA fostered a working together for the
betterment of the community relationship with various levels of government by inviting Oro-
Medonte Council members, and representatives from the Provincial and Federal Government to
the AGM. Clearly,the omission in failing to notify both Oro-Medonte Councillors(not to mention
the exclusion of the Mayor) from the AGM is in complete contrast, and is being viewed as
deliberate by some in the community.
While the HVPOA has the right to determine the format of its meetings, it does not necessarily
make it the right thing to do.
While there are many concerns raised,it is the appearance of a"doubling down" by the HVPOA's
repetition of misinformation involving the waste water fees, and the impact on the Oro-Medonte
community and its Council, that is the greatest concern.
Should the HVPOA Board of Directors fail to satisfactorily correct this misrepresentation to the
public, or I have not received a satisfactory response by February 26, 2021 I will be taking this
matter to Council with a recommended action.
Respectfully,
Councillor Cathy Keane

Re: Preliminary Findings Report—Complaint against Councillor Keane
As you know, I represent Councillor Keane, in this matter. My client has provided me with a
copy of your Preliminary Findings Report and asked that I review it and provide you with my
comments, in her behalf.
The Complaint
As I understand it, on February 24, 2021, Linda Myles, the President of the Horseshoe Valley
Property Owner Association (the "HVPOA") wrote to you, making a formal complaint against
Councillor Keane. In paragraph eight of your Preliminary Findings Report, you describe the
particulars of the complaint in the following way:
1. Councillor Keane participated virtually in a private meeting (the HVPOA Annual General
Meeting) (the "AGM") to which she had not been invited, cast votes on motions where
she was not eligible to do so, and retained an unauthorized recording of the private
meeting (the "Meeting Complaint").
2. On February 8, 2021 she sent a letter to the HVPOA, which was aggressive, accusatory
and contained false statements (the "Letter Complaint").
3. Councillor Keane threatened to take the matter to Council, in an effort to exert
improper use of influence of her office ("Influence Complaint").
The Meeting Complaint
Your Preliminary Findings Report made the following conclusions:
1. The HVPOA catchment area includes 26 households within Ward 3. Councillor Keane is
the Councillor representing Ward 3.
2. The HVPOA executive believed that Councillor Keane had, under cover of anonymity and
without authority, participated and voted at their AGM.
3. The invitation to the HVPOA AGM was forwarded to Councillor Keane's Township email
address by the Mayor of Oro-Medonte. The Mayor received the invitation from his son,
who is a resident of Horseshoe Valley and a member of the HVPOA. Councillor Keane

forwarded the invitation to the email address she shares with her husband, so that she
could print it.'
4. It was not Councillor Keane, but her husband, who participated in the AGM, submitted a
question for consideration, and voted on the Budget.
5. Councillor Keane did not watch the AGM live, but watched it after the fact, for the first
time, on the family Wad.
Given these findings of fact, Councillor Keane cannot possibly be found to have breached the
Code of Conduct with respect to the Meeting Complaint and that part of the Complaint against
her must be dismissed.
The Letter Complaint
In your Preliminary Findings Report you consider only the final paragraph of Councillor Keane's
letter. In my respectful submission, any findings with respect to the Letter Complaint must
reflect a consideration of the entire contents of the letter, and should not be confined to a
review of a single paragraph. I have attached Councillor Keane's letter as Appendix 1, but for
ease of reference I note the following passages:
There is much concern over the Associations 2020-2021 budget item of$15,000, which
the HVPOA Executive has said is designated for "our fight with the Township". There are
questions surrounding the HVPOA's lack of transparency in the response (or lack thereof)
to: (name removed) questions about voting separately on the 2020-2021 Budget and the
acceptance of the 2020 financial statements; the question posed by residents as to why
there is a need for$4,700 in Insurance for the Association; and why the "Special
Projects"account increased when last years$10,000 budget only saw$3,102 used.
The following misinformation and contradictions made by members of the HVPOA
Executive raises concerns beyond the $15,000 budget allocation and items mentioned
above. The statements made by the HVPOA Executive regarding the private WWTP and
the continued request to reduce water rates in Zone 2 are not entirely correct. At best,
information was fragmented and very misleading. Below are comments made that 1 ask
the HVPOA to publicly address and clarify with residents: (emphasis added)
1) The Township of Oro-Medonte and Council is responsible for alleged financial
"discrepancies"and increased costs for residents on Skyline's wastewater system.
2) The HVPOA's contradiction about water rates.
1 Councillor Keane was told during her interview that information, including the names she provided,was to
remain confidential.

15.a) Principles Int ri i ReRgr�;�rRail Request; Correspondence from ...
Barristcr&Solicitor I Integrity Commissioner
The reoccurring misinformation without validity by the HVPOA, is leaving residents with
negative connotations directed toward Oro-Medonte Council(s).
Horseshoe Valley Memorial Park with trails and recreational equipment, the site for a
new school, the Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic with the OPP facility being in Horseshoe
Valley, and the Headquarters of Oro-Medonte Fire and Emergency Services with their
contribution to the community, all serve as only a partial list of success of past HVPOA
Boards working cooperatively and inclusively with Township staff and Council.
While the HVPOA has the right to determine the format of its meetings, it does not
necessarily make it the right thing to do.
While there are many concerns raised, it is the appearance of a "doubling down"by the
HVPOA's repetition of misinformation involving the waste water fees, and the impact on
the Oro-Medonte community and its Council, that is the greatest concern.
Should the HVPOA Board of Directors fail to satisfactorily correct this misrepresentation
to the public, or I have not received a satisfactory response by February 26, 2021 I will be
taking this matter to Council with a recommended action.
When the letter is read in its entirety, it is quite apparent that Councillor Keane was asking the
HVPOA to clarify its position with respect to matters that relate to and are within the
jurisdiction of the Council of Oro-Medonte. Budget items for "our fight with the Township", or
allegations that the Township and Council are responsible for "financial discrepancies and
increased costs for residents" are serious accusations and clearly set the context for Councillor
Keane's request that the HVPOA Board of Directors either correct the misrepresentations to the
public or provide an explanation.
To read the concluding paragraph of Councillor Keane's letter in isolation, without providing the
contextual prologue that preceded it, does not allow for a proper understanding and analysis of
the intent and purpose of the letter; an intent and purpose that simply cannot be characterized
as aggressive or threatening. The Letter Complaint must also be dismissed.
The Influence Complaint
I believe it is also incorrect to suggest that Councillor Keane is using the influence of her office
in an improper way. On the contrary, rather than an improper use of her office, it would seem
that, in responding to these allegations against the actions of Council, Councillor Keane was
using the influence of her office to correct misinformation, however, uncomfortable her
statements were to the HVPOA Executive.

Barristcr&Solicitor I Tntcgrity Commissioner
It is also difficult to see how a letter from a Member of Council to an established residents'
association, responding to statements made at the association's AGM, can be considered a
threat. In that regard, I note that most definitions of"threat" require a potential for harm,
without which the statement cannot be considered a threat. As you have acknowledged, you
could find no harm being threatened and, accordingly, it would be incorrect and enormously
unfair to Councillor Keane to, at the same time, regard the letter as threatening the HVPOA.
The Influence Complaint must be dismissed.
The Findings of an Integrity Commissioner's Report Must Relate to the Specific Allegations
While I am confident that, based on the particulars of the complaint and the findings in your
Preliminary Findings Report, you will dismiss the Complaint, I am concerned that, in your efforts
to investigate the Complaint and come to some conclusions, your focus has shifted away from
the central issues —the unsanctioned attendance at the AGM and the tone and purpose of
Councillor Keane's letter to the HVPOA—to a new charge and incorrect findings about my
client's honesty and credibility. Respectfully, this constitutes a new complaint, initiated by your
office, a power that the Municipal Act, 2001, does not assign to integrity commissioners.
The new complaint is set out in paragraphs 50, 51 and 52 of your Preliminary Findings Report.
[50] When first interviewed on March 23, the Councillor insisted she was provided with a
link to the AGM, and subsequently a USB stick with the recording, by an
'acquaintance/friend'who was a member of the HPVOA. She further insisted that it would
be a betrayal of that person to reveal their identity to us, even for the limited purpose of
corroborating her evidence to us. She maintained this position notwithstanding our advice
to her of the importance of the corroboration and her obligation to answer our questions.
[51]Subsequently, under oath, she advised that the email from the HVPOA inviting
members to participate in the AGM was forwarded to her Township email by Mayor
Hughes, and that she then forwarded it to her home email...
[52] The Councillor advised that she frequently forwards communications from her
Township email to this personal email address, in order to print them. She has advised us
that she was forwarded the invitation (which contained a link and password)for members
of the HVPOA to the (sic) attend the AGM by the Mayor, who often forwards HVPOA emails
to her. The Mayor receives them from his son who is a resident of Horseshoe Valley and a
member of the HVPOA.
[60]Following the issuance of a summons to the Councillor to produce the USB stick and re-
attend a scheduled Zoom interview, the Councillor was questioned again —this time under
oath, in the presence of legal counsel(it was the first time we have felt it necessary to
administer an oath in the course of an investigation).

Barristcr&Solicitor I Integrity Commissioner
In response to your findings on this new complaint, I respectfully submit:
1) The only fact that can possibly be described as not true is that Councillor Keane said she
was given a USB stick, whereas the recording was actually made on a home iPad. She
said this for the understandable reason that she did not want to implicate or incriminate
her husband. She did not tell you this to escape culpability, or to in any way improve her
situation. In any event, it is hard to image why the method used to make the recording
is in any way relevant to your investigation of the complaint.
2) Her statement that she was given the link by an 'acquaintance/friend' is not untrue; the
Mayor and his son are both 'acquaintances' of Councillor Keane and her husband.
The fact that she did not at first volunteer these names, but only did so after receiving
assurances from you that information she provided would be kept confidential, does not
constitute a lie.
We also take exception to your suggestion that you had to issue a summons, implying as it does
that Councillor Keane was refusing to cooperate, and your unnecessary observation that "it was
the first time we have felt it necessary to administer an oath ...". Councillor Keane readily
agreed to speak with you about the allegations against her: she had attended the AGM, voted
and recorded it. As your interview unfolded and became focused on her statement that she had
been given a USB stick—a statement she made to avoid implicating her husband - it became
clear to Councillor Keane that she needed a lawyer. Her testimony to you should not be so
harshly impugned simply because she asked for legal assistance (which is no cause to issue a
summons), and your observation that it was the first time you administered an oath was
gratuitous and gives my client a reasonable apprehension that the investigation was biased
against her.
The courts have had occasion to consider the question of when the adjudicator's conduct
creates an unfairness. In Lennox v. Arbor Memorial Services Inc., 56 O.R. (3d) 795, the Court of
Appeal for Ontario considered an appeal on the ground that the trial judge interfered in the
conduct of the trial to such an extent that the image of judicial impartiality was destroyed,
denying the defendant a fair trial. The Court says:
[12]In our view, the trial judge's conduct of the trial created an appearance of
unfairness. ... The trial judge intervened unduly in the presentation of the case and, in
effect, became a protagonist for the respondent. A review of the transcript demonstrates
that the trial judge ... engaged in extensive cross-examination of two of Arbor's
witnesses and challenged their credibility,
[13]... there is a point at which judicial "intervention becomes interference and is
improper.

Barristcr&Solicitor I Tntcgrity Commissioner
[15]In Majcenic v. Natale... Evans J.A. then added his own description of improper
judicial intervention [at p. 204 O.R.]: When a Judge intervenes in the examination or
cross-examination of witnesses, to such an extent that he projects himself into the
arena, he of necessity, adopts a position which is inimical to the interests of one or other
of the litigants. His action, whether conscious or unconscious, no matter how well
intentioned or motivated, creates an atmosphere which violates the principle that
'justice not only be done, but appear to be done". Intervening amounting to interference
in the conduct of a trial destroys the image of judicial impartiality and deprives the Court
of jurisdiction.
[16]In this case, the trial judge's interventions not only exceeded the acceptable limits,
they were entirely directed at assisting the respondent. Consequently, they created an
appearance of unfairness. ... The trial judge diverted the trial away from the issues the
parties sought to present and toward what he conceived to be the central issue.
While I acknowledge that a civil trial is a much different process than an integrity
commissioner's inquiry, the basic principle that the adjudicator must not unnecessarily
intervene in the prosecution, applies. In that regard, I am concerned that your ultimate findings
and recommendations, should you find a breach of the Code to have occurred, will be
fashioned by your indignation at the exchange between Councillor Keane and your office, not
on your findings of fact concerning the actual accusations.
In conclusion, I respectfully urge you to revise your Preliminary Findings Report to remove the
charges flowing from your interview with my client and, instead, to render a report that reflects
only a consideration of the evidence you have found that relates and is relevant to the specific
charges against my client. 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.
Thank you for your attention to these submissions.
Yours very truly,
