Dear Sir
once again I commend you and your staff for the expedient way that my street was cleared of snow and
made drive able during this past winter. You and your crew are to be congratulated for a job well done.
I would however be pleased to see the street swept as was the area about us. Most probabi lity an
insight.

To Mr. Mayor and Councilors,
(Without Prejudice)
Once again, we are here, with hopes that the majority of this council will honour
the wishes of the electorate when dealing with nonrenewable lakerront lands such as those
in Plan 709. As we know, the vision of the original owner of Plan 709, was that residents
have access and share in common, forever, the use ofthe parklands in question. When the
land was transferred to the Township for one dollar, the deed drawn up states that the land
was to be held in trust by the township, for our sole and only use forever. That is why my
father decided to buy this property, knowing it would forever be available to his family, to
the community, and to following generations. How could council have entertained selling
760 feet of prime watemont property to a select few, depriving everyone else?
Council made it clear that the prime reason for selling the lands in Plan 709, was to
alleviate liability and encroachment problems, and supposed neighborhood disputes. As far
as maintenance of these parklands, it is the residents that have been responsible for this
and not the general taxpayers. We know that in today's day and age it is difficult to escape
the liability issue. Unfortunately, Township will always be liable for certain properties. The
jooge's ruling gives court authority, allowing the township to remove the encroachments
"($jat pose a liability problem. Instead, township has chosen to file an appeal. It will be
.,,~hallenging an agreement that has been in force, and honored by every council since 1921.
Council even voted a few years back, to uphold the agreement. Yet despite this, last year's
council ruled to proceed with the sale of the lands. Had the township simply treated all
residents of Plan 709 equally, there would have been no attempt for privatization of this
shoreline and there would have been no court action.
Many people have approached council through deputations, to prevent the
privatization of our parklands and the beautiful stretch of nonrenewable Lake Simcoe
shoreline. You forced us to take this to court. We tried to negotiate with the township ,
but to no avail. You decided to proceed, so we had no choice but to seek legal action.
After a lengthy period of 6 months, the judge has ruled in our favour. Justice
O'Connell has ruled against the township and the watemont people. He has ruled that the
lands in question should remain status quo. He ruled that the contract honored since 1921,
still stands and must continue to be honored. An injunction has also been placed,
permanently preventing the township rrom interfering with our rights to the parklands of
Plan 709. Not only are the backlot people against the sale and privatization ofthis land to
a select few, so are most ofthe people in the Township ofOro. People:find it hard to
believe, that the township would sell such valuable property at a price far below it's
market value (approximately $100./ linear foot of Lake Simcoe waterrront shoreline).This
meager amount of money was to be allocated to the backlot people for maintenance and
improvement of the remaining 100 feet of shoreline and bush lots. It would have been
grossly inadequate and would probably, have eventually forced the privatization of these
"".. '" ...
lands. Furthermore, I understand that the majority of council members in thell' election
platforms maintained that they were against the sale of these lands. So all across the
board, it makes no sense to burden the Oro taxpayers with a costly appeal.
There has been more than a 4% increase in taxes this year. My understanding is,
that you have spent close to $100,000 in legal costs for Plan 709. This includes $20,000
that Justice O'Connell has awarded the backlot cottagers in costs. This seems to be a
huge chunk ofthe 4% increase that people have been paying to the township. How many
people know what thell' increase is going towards??? Would this money not have been
better spent perhaps in community needs such as health care and education?
To make matters worse Council has filed to appeal the decision of Justice
O'Connell. An appeal will cost the taxpayers another huge sum of money. What a waste
oftaxpayers' money! Surely there must be a wiser way to use our tax dollars. You realize
that the only ones that will benefit :lTom this are the lawyers. So again I ask, why have the
township and water:ITont lawyers filed for an appeal? Why do you want to challenge
Justice O'Connell's decision?
The water view residents, represented by the renowned Bay Street Legal Firm
Well' Foulds, have also filed an appeal against Justice O'Connell's ruling. There is no
need for council to spend thousands of taxpayers' dollars duplicating an appeal that is
already being forwarded by the water:ITont residents.
Every previous council :lTom 1921 on, has had the integrity to honour the
agreement in the deed. Sadly, in my opinion, this trust has been broken by the previous
council. It seems to me that they believe a deal is not a deal. We now have a new council.
I hope you understand our resolve to prevent the privatization of these Lake Simcoe
watemont lands. The decision regarding the sinking of more money into an appeal will be
made by you, the new Council that is here tonight. Remember, you have been elected to
protect the interests of the ratepayers and hopefully you will stand by your promises that
you presented in your election platforms. With the expectation that those elected to this
new council, will keep thell' word, it should be expected that a solid majority of council
will reject the sale.
It is time that the taxpayers' money be put to better use. Our lawyer has already
been given the go ahead, if needed, to defend any appeal that may be brought against
Justice O'Connell's ruling. Hopefully this council will realize the wisdom of his ruling and
the need to honour agreements for all donated lands throughout the township. For 70
years the status quo has worked, so why not continue it?
Sincerely,
Dr. Andrea Woloszczuk

Rowanwood Deputation to Oro-Medonte Township Council
May 5, 2004
Weare here this evening as members of Rowanwood, a residential cooperative
community of 9 families living on 92 acres near Coulson. Rowanwood is now 20 years
old. One member family has lived on the property for over 40 years.
One of our earliest decisions was to assign primary importance to the ecology of our area.
We realized that we are the custodians of an important piece of land - on the fringe of the
Oro Moraine, and with several pieces of wetland. When those wetlands began to be
threatened by development some 10 years ago, and the Ministry of Natural Resources
was getting out of the business of evaluating wetlands, we had them evaluated at our own
expense. They were subsequently identified as Provincially Significant Wetlands making
up one of the headwaters of the Coldwater River
So this is the context from which we approach the current situation.
It was at a public meeting in these Council Chambers some ten years ago that we first
learned of the intention to join two proposed neighbouring developments - one to the
west and one to the south - via a connecting road across Rowanwood property. The
proponents of the two proposed developments stated in that meeting - much to our
surprise - that a piece of Rowanwood property would be acquired for the purpose of a
connecting road. No one at Rowanwood had been approached. It was just an oversight,
they said at the time.
For most of the intervening time there was little activity on this matter. More recently,
meetings of Environmental Monitoring Committee have resumed, including Rowanwood
and representatives of the developer. There was no discussion of Rowanwood land
purchase during that time. Meanwhile Jim Sabiston, the owner of the development to the
west, sold to unknown interests.
In June 2002, just two years ago, a request to meet came from Valdor Engineering
representing the new owners of the development to the west, 1452711 Ont. Ltd., to
negotiate purchase of the strip of Rowanwood land. Rowanwood declined, believing that
we were under no compulsion to sell. It better suits our long tenn environmental
objective to see fewer lots developed.
In September 2002, Rowanwood was invited to an in-camera meeting with Township
staff, when we were infonned by staff that we had better do a deal soon or lose our land
to expropriation. The words used were, "We don't want to threaten you, but..."
It is only in the last year that the developer has initiated serious negotiations with
Rowanwood to discuss the purchase of land. In keeping with our practice as custodians of
our land, Rowanwood agreed to discuss a possible deal if it involved a reduction in the
number of lots to be developed. The developer understandably felt under no pressure to
discuss lot reduction, aware of the township's threat of expropriation.
1
In January 2004, Rowanwood received a written offer from 1452711 ant. Ltd. for
Rowanwood land - the first concrete offer from this developer - and a request to meet.
On April 21 of this year, Rowanwood initiated a face-to-face meeting with this developer
and made a counter offer. The counter offer by Rowanwood was declined by the
developer and a further offer from the developer was received.
Rowanwood residents have been by-passed in the events leading up to tonight's meeting.
At no time have we received written notice of the likelihood of expropriation of our land.
Only by chance was Rowanwood invited at the last minute for an in-camera meeting with
Council on April 21. The invitation came only after Rowanwood called the Township on
another matter.
Our legal advice is that any expropriation must serve the public good. Right now there is
no public in these developments, but Rowanwood and its residents are indeed members
of your public. We suggest that the public good is best served by protecting the natural
environment and the people currently living in it. We believe the developments that were
approved by the OMB ten years ago would never be approved in today's climate, in the
context of the Township's current Official Plan. We believe that in this case the public
good is best served - in and around the Oro Moraine - by limiting the number of
development lots. We believe that the language of the 1995 OMB decision provides
Council with the means to do this. The OMB decision placed a hold on 39 lots, and a
second hold on an additional 7 lots. The OMB Conditions of Draft Approval for the
development included the following statement: "...buildingpermits shall not be issuedfor
lots 26-64 until the proposed Street A is connected to the proposed Street A on the
adjacent proposed Valdoro subdivision." We interpret this ruling to mean that Council
has a choice - that you can choose not to issue those permits.
Like Township Council, we believe in good planning, and we appreciate that the
proposed developments require a water source and safe roads.
We appreciate that the Township has an interest in the water system, as its future owner,
and we understand that the system requires some integration. At various times over the
past year, Rowanwood has indicated to 1452711 ant. Ltd., to Mr. Ernie Botero ofthe
neighbouring Russell Hill Estates, and most recently to the Township, our willingness to
negotiate a separate agreement to provide water access.
Concern about roads seems to be three-fold:
(1) providing a connection through Russell Hill from the 6th line in Sugarbush to the ih
line. This will happen regardless of the expropriation.
(2) providing a new entrance to Sugarbush at the Horseshoe Valley Road through Forest
Hill development. This is required by the OMB regardless of the number of lots built,
therefore has nothing to do with this expropriation. The OMB ruling clearly requires that:
"the owner acknowledge in the subdivision agreement that no building permits will be
released for any residential building lot in the draft plan of subdivision until such time as
an agreement has been entered into between the Township, Monica Interior Designs Inc.,
Indian Park Association and [two numbered companies] 7767987 Onto Ltd. and 850892
2
Onto Ltd. respecting the relocation of the 6th line intersection with County Road 22". In
other words, changing the entrance is not contingent upon the developer obtaining our
land. He must build the new entrance before building any houses.
(3) providing a road connection between Russell Hill and Forest Hill developments.
Clearly, it would be financially advantageous to the developer to complete the road
system all at once, but there cannot be an argument of public good when there is no
public currently on the land. Rowanwood's position has moved from our original desire
to see a full 39-lot hold maintained indefinitely, to considering a settlement that involves
some reduction in the number of developed lots, particularly in the most sensitive natural
areas. Such a settlement would allow the road to be completed, but expropriation now
would prevent such a settlement from taking place.
We feel particularly violated right now because a bulldozer recently drove onto the strip
of our land that is under threat of expropriation. It then proceeded to bulldoze its way
over an additional 200 metres of our property, uprooting trees, shearing limbs from old
maples, rolling and displacing boulders and leaving huge scars in the land. While the
developer has apologized for this, our feelings are still raw from this assault.
Please understand that our interest is in conservation and protection of fragile and
vulnerable natural features in and around the Oro Moraine. Weare not motivated in this
case by money. We are ready and willing to negotiate. However, the threat of
expropriation severely compromises our capacity to negotiate. We believe our objectives
are in alignment with Township's environment-first policy. Please do not stand behind
the developer in these private negotiations. Allow us to use the limited resources we have
to defend the best long-term interests of the Township. Please make a clear statement
tonight that you will defend the integrity of the Oro Moraine and Provincially Significant
Wetland.
We ask for a separate, recorded vote on the expropriation when you come to it under item
#13A later on your agenda tonight, and we ask you to choose not to expropriate private
land to support private development.

4.3 Overdues Procedures
The new overdues process is in week 4 of a 6-week process. Patrons
overdue from the first week have each received a two day call and then
4 weekly follow up calls. From approximately 120 from that first week
we are still trying to get a response from 4. Early results from weeks 2,
3 & 4 show roughly the same progression -from about 120 to about 25
to 10 etc. Next week we will mail letters to the 4 and then a bill. When
we have an idea as to how many are refusing to return their material
despite these calls and letters, we will have to decide if we want to
revert to a Credit Agency. Even 4 a week, at $4.75 each, is a significant
amount over a year. We'll have more information by next meeting.

6. Reports of Board Committees - continued
6.2 Strategic Planning Committee - continued
As it is desirable to take an arms length approach to recruitment, various
methods were discussed. An advertisement in the local newspapers was
suggested at a cost of approximately $150.00 Posters at various venues
could also be used. R. Allard suggested that an ad in the back of the
newspaper might not be noticed and that perhaps we should approach
the papers about putting a notice in the Community Events section
closer to the front of the paper. B. Molesworth has been working on
wording for an ad and posters and will take it forward to the next
Strategic Planning Committee meeting to be held Tuesday, March 23,
2004 at 2:00 p.m. The Board agreed to move ahead with this initiative.
Another initiative the Committee would like to pursue is an independent
space planning survey to be carried out by a private library consultant.
To this end, B. Molesworth spoke to Margaret Beckman, a well known
consultant in the Library field. She and her architect partner would be
willing to take this on at a cost of$15,000.00 to $17,000.00.
B. Molesworth informed the Board that there is development charge
money being set-aside by the Town for these types of studies so it would
not come out of the regular Library budget. The study would be carried
out in 2005 or possibly late 2004. With Library expansion tentatively
set for 2008, this would be useful in raising the Library's profile in the
Community.
B. Trounce mentioned that there will be other Staff representation on the
Planning Committee.
6.3 Fundraising Committee - O. Parsons, Chairman
O. Parsons and A. Wilkes have met and discussed the development of
this Committee. O. parsons proposes to start by appealing for help with
smaller projects and then by progressing to larger ones so that there will
be a core of committed donors to call on when the capital campaign is
begun. He is consulting with the Friends to avoid duplication.

R. Allard reported that the Committee has met twice. Having reviewed
the various policy topics that need to be updated it was decided that the
Personnel Policy should be given priority. The Committee is working
with three personnel policy documents one of which is the Town's
policies governing office and technical support employees. The
Committee agreed that we should try to stay close to this model while
recognizing the differences that exist at the Library. They hope to have a
draft to present to the Board by the May 2004 meeting.
R. Allard went on to say that policies should be meaningful and
relevant - a living document.
6.5 Report from Friends of the Midland Public Library - G.A. Walker
G.A. Walker reminded the Board that the Friends are looking for more
Silent Auction items. She and Dan Downey had a photo-op for the
newspaper with a piece of artwork that has already been donated.
7. New business
7.1 Federation of Ontario Libraries
Midland Public Library contributed $87.00 to the Strategic Development
Committee in 2003 as its share of the cost of a Consultant who was to
produce a business plan for the development of a Federation of Ontario
Libraries. This plan was presented at the OLA conference in January
and the Board will be receiving an invitation to join sometime soon.
The Federation is intended to operate on the same lines as the OMA,
with a sliding membership fee and weighted representation on the
Governing Board. The intent is to create a unified voice and organizing
body controlled by Libraries to act as advocate, marketer, consortium
purchaser and etc. Some feel the Ontario Library Association should be
carrying out this role, but is not, so there is a question as to how it would
be involved. Also, Southern Ontario Library Services, which currently
offers consulting services, consortium purchasing, ILL service and
delivery services could be seen as a duplication, but it is funded by the
Ontario government and has been suffering from reduced and frozen

budgets for years. Proponents of the FOL say a Library funded
organization will be free of government interference and neglect. Bill
says he knows of at least two other initiatives in the last 10 - 15 years
that have recommended the same idea but they were both reports to
government and nothing ever happened. This is being promoted from
below and shows promise. The Board will be asked to contribute
$750.00 annually.
7.2 AMPLO Meeting
B. Molesworth reported on his attendance at a recent meeting. The
Ministry of Culture reported that there is a possibility that there will
be another Trillium Foundation programme for Libraries. This
could be announced in May.
CAP or the Community Access Programme is likely in its last year. We
have received grants for computer hardware for Internet access as well
as a grant for hiring a student to provide training in this area. We will
now have to look at how we upgrade/replace these computers.
The Southern Ontario Library Service is suffering from budget freezes.
As a result, courier deliveries for Interlibrary Loans may be reduced frorr
4 to 3 days a week.
The Provincial Government instituted a Municipal Performance
Measurement Program (MPMP) under the previous administration
which is being carried on and expanded. It is designed to produce
comparable data to measure efficiency and effectiveness in municipal
services. So far Fire, Police, Roadways, Transit, Wastewater, Storm
Water, Drinking Water, Solid Waste and Land Use Planning are being
reported. In the next year Libraries, Parks and Recreation, Social
Housing and Public Health will be included.
Efficiency will be calculated by dividing the Total Operating Costs by
Total Use. Effectiveness will be Total Use per Capita. Bill feels that
these numbers could easily be subject to misunderstanding, even in
professions that have more objective measures of success - for example
cost per capita does not reflect response time by a Fire Department
and excessive paring of costs in pursuit of' efficiency' could negatively
affect ability. Determining a Library's effectiveness has always been a

t Information
8.1 Chief Librarian's Report
O. Parsons asked about the report that stated 45% of Midland's book
collection was 18 years old or older. B. Molesworth responded by
saying that although the report went on to say that we compared
favorably with other Libraries of our size that this. was not necessarily a
satisfactory standard. We are in the process of weeding the collection
and focusing on developing the parts that need work.
B. Molesworth also provided background on how we came to be a site
for ORIP to issue new health cards. They are here 4 days a month in the
downstairs study room. There is a 1-888 number people call to make
appointments. This will bring more people into the Library as well as
the downtown area. After a few. early appointment problems things are
working well.
After purging over 3,000 inactive patron records we still have a patron
base of approximately 13,400.
8.2 Correspondence
The annual invoice for the Board's membership in the OLA has been
received. After some discussion about the usefulness of this membership,
it was decided that we let it lapse. This does not stop anyone attending
the OLA Conference. We would have to pay at the time.

Board of Directors' MeetinG
BOD-03-04 - Minutes ~
March 26"" 2004
Councillor Self inquired if the Authority is prepared to coordinate efforts by
identifying priority reforestation projects and matching grants?
The CAO responded that she is a member of the Conservation Authorities Moraine
Coalition (CAMC) which is comprised of the nine authorities along the moraine, The
CAMC recognizes that it is essential to protect certain parts of the moraine and the
Authority is certainly prepared to work with the Foundation in this area.
The CAO thanked Mr. Scott for attending the Board Meeting and for providing
information on this very important initiative. The CAO indicated that the Authority's
mission emphasises "working in partnership" and made the following points:
1. Working with landowners - Landowners are very strapped for dollars and we
would like the opportunity to discuss how we can leverage the grant dollars
fu rther so landowners do not have to pay 1/3 of the costs as they do now .
2. Two of the Authority's Directors who interact with the ORMF are in attendance
today, Sandra Hanson, Director, Corporate Services and Land Managementand
Michael Walters, Director, Environmental Services. The CAO has asked both
Directors to consider projects, such as land acquisitions, education outreach,
land reforestation, and how the Authority can partner with the ORMF. Authority
staff are prepared to meet with the ORMF in the next few months to discuss
such options.

(c) Viewing of Media Relations Videos ,
The Manager, Fundraising and Community Relations provided an introduction to the
two videos to be reviewed. The first included two interviews between Aurora Cable
and Authority staff; The CAO speaks to her appointment to the Source Protection
Planning - Technical Experts Committee and the Senior Fisheries Biologist speaks
to the Authority's move to a Level III Agreement with the Department of Fisheries
and Oceans.
The second video is a clip prepared by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food for their
television show "Town and Country" and speaks to the Lake Simcoe Environmental
Management Strategy (LSEMS), the state of Lake Simcoe and what needs to be
done to protect it.
The Manager, Fundraising and Community Relations advised that a copy of the
Town and Country video is available should any of the Board Membersl
municipalities have a need for it.
Following the presentation, the CAO provided background information on the
LSEMS program forthe new Board Members advising that in 1990 LSEMS received
Cabinet endorsement and that the Authority is the lead agency. Both Michael
Walters and Brian Kemp are involved with LSEMS and are critical in improving the
health and quality of Lake Simcoe. LSEMS is being looked at as a mode! across
Ontario. The CAO extended her compliments to all staff for their work on this
program.

Councillor John West commented that the Town and Country clip was very
interesting however added concern over the fact that the clip contained reference
to what great work is being done but does not place enough emphasis on what is
being lost. Would be very beneficial if the clip could relate how much phosphorous
is entering the lake versus how much is coming out.
The CAO responded that in the last year the LSEMS group completed the "State
of Lake Simcoe" report. Copies have been distributed to all municipalities and are
also available on CD. This watershed plan will now be going out for public review
which will lead to the creation of a complete Lake Simcoe Watershed Plan. This will
identify what the problem .is and what needs to be done to fix it.
Councillor Ferdinands commended the Authority staff on their work.
Vice Chair Hackson reminded members that the video is available and should their
. municipalities have any events where it may be appropriate to use it, they are
encouraged to do so in order to get the message out.
Mayor Grossi inquired as to why there is no commitment of provincial funds in Lake
Simcoe as there is with the Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation? Does something need
to be done to the extent of what happened with the ORM?
The CAO provided the following information:
1990 - the Authority received capital funding.
1995 - the capital funding was withdrawn from the Authority.
· Currently the Authority only gets funding for projects which are driven by the
provincial government (i.e. Healthy Futures - OMAF created and funded the
program) and annual transfer payments in the amount of $132,000.
· Authority does not get long term funding.
LSEMS Committee Members are currently trying to get an audience with the
resource deputies and there is a further need to utilize the local politicians to form
a statement that can be sent to the Premier and the ministers. The CAO advised
that there was a opportunity to meet with the MPP's in February 2004(LSEMS
Executive Advisory Committee) and at that time a request should have been made
for a statement.
Mayor Young advised that he agrees with the CAO and indicated that, as a
politician, he recognizes the need to make a statement regarding LSEMS and to
carry it forward. Politicians need to be at the table to get this message into the
public minds who will also need to be active in obtaining the funding.

The CAG advised that staff are currently developing a strategy on how to effectively
coordinate the messaging and identify who needs to be targeted. Workshops
regarding the "State of the Lake" will be held around the lake which could help
answer these questions.
The CAG advised that as staff continue to develop the strategy on messaging, a
report will be provided to the Board in order to obtain their comprehensive input on
the messaging.
Councillor Self recommended playing the video at the upcoming Conservation
Dinner.
Councillor Nanowski strongly suggested providing this video to schools - "they are
our future". We need to provide messaging that the Lake is in trouble which is
affecting the health of the fish as they are unable to reproduce.
Councillor Ferdinands suggested including the term "extinct" when referring.to the
absence of whitefish, lake trout,' etc. The term "extinct" has a much stronger impact.
Suggested including a graph from the fisheries assessment unit.
Mayor Grossi expressed his agreement with Councillor Nanowski's comment.
Children definitely have the ability to sell a program. Once they understand the
effect on the Lake, it will have a much stronger effect on adults. We need to get
messaging to the schools.

15. Monthly Communications Update
Mayor Grossi referenced pages 56 to 68 of this report and inquired if the Authority
had responded in relation to the McNabb drain?
The Director, Environmental Services advised that he has been working with the
Township of Ramara to resolve some difficulties which have developed.in relation
to the permit process. There was some confusion amongst the landowners
regarding the request for further information with their applications for permits and
this caused some angst amongst the community because such requests had not
been asked for in the past. The Authority is hosting a workshop with the Township
of Ramara on April 8th with the development community. Mayor Duffy is supportive
of this workshop.
In response to the McNabb drain, theDirector, Environmental S~rvices advised that
the Authority is currently monitoring the drain and Mr. McNabb has appeared before
the Authority's Board on this issue. The Authority is actively involved and in some
instances is going above and beyond to deal with this issue.
The CAO added that Councillor Snutch is working with staff from the Township of
Ramara and the Authority to ensure the issues are resolved. The Authority also
obtained a legal opinion from the Authority's solicitor regarding enforcement.
Mayor Shier advised that he is currently working with Mayor Duffy of the Township
of Ramara and that the people of Ramara are not happy with the process.
The CAG responded that the difficulties with Ramara came as a surprise to the
Authority. The Township joined in 2001 and the issues raised did not present
themselves until 2003. There was no indication there were any misunderstandings
on the part of staff or landowners.

suppression at the airport and that the RFP includes phased upgrades to
coincide with each of the commerCial development activities at the airport.
Pursuant to August 21, 2003 Commission meeting, it was reviewed that the final
location of the required 20,OOb-gallon water tank for fire suppression (for the first

has agreed to provide a storage tank that is currently dormant, for use at the
\ Dd-~
airport, W. McArthur indicated that regardless of the type of underground
storage facility, an engineered design solution is required to ensure consistency
for both short and long-term fire suppression requirements.
Ii) Mr. Peter Waters of Weathervvise Aviation Inc. provided the Commission with an
update as to his firm's commercial development activities. Mr. Waters indicated
that subsequent to his firm's site plan application dated July 18, 2003,
Weatherwise Aviation obtained a building permit from the Township of Oro-
Medonte dated WjDII.I for the construction of one of four proposed hangars.
Mr. Waters further indicated that his firm had already commenced site works on
Lots 3 & 4 (now merged) of the Southwest Commercial Development Area and
that the first hangar has a tentative completion date of Spring 2004.
Mr. Pete Waters then submitted a revised construction timetable for the balance
of the proposed hangars, as a result of both a delay in acquiring a building
permit from the Township of Oro-Medonte and as a result of occupancy issues.
Mr. Waters reported that his firm has unofficially and tentatively pre-sold the first
hangar and as such proposes to construct.the .second hangar facility on Lots 5 &
6 respectively with the third facility on Lots 1 & 2. Mr. Waters indicated that the
change in plans is required in order to facilitate the tenancy of Hydro One
Helicopter Networks, as currently located in a Weatherwise owned hangar on Lot
1. Weatherwise Aviation's initial plans were to move Hydro One Helicopter
Networks into hangar 2 (on lots 3 & 4) prior to the ultimate dismantling of hangar
1 (lot 1).
Mr. Waters was reminded that the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport Commission
does not currently have permission from the three municipalities to engage in
land sale activities beyond Lot 5. However, in consideration of the reported
developments of the first hangar, the Commission would begin working with the
member municipalities to accommodate Weatherwise Aviation's development
aspirations.
W. McArthur reminded the Commission members and Mr. Waters that the lands
beyond Lot 5 are not yet serviced and that costs to complete such servicing have
not been established. It was also reviewed that the 2003 Capital Works budget
iocludes a provision. .for the pre-design of. the Southwest Commercial
Development Area extension. .
MOTION: Moved by F. Smith, seconded by R. Hough.

authorize staff to get a proposal for the pre-design of the
Southwest Commercial Development Area extension and that
the pre-design be phased on an individual lot basis." .
Carried.
Mr. Waters was then excused from the meeting.
iii) Based on yveatherwise Aviation's construction timeline for asphalt placing, it was
suggested that the airside access project for lots 3 & 4 (now merged) be
tendered to coincide with Weatherwise Aviation's works.

5.P PROPERTIES & COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT
i) Pete Waters of Weatherwise Aviation was invited to the meeting to provide the
Commission members with an update to his firm's commercial development
activities. It was reviewed thpt the frame (shell) of the hangar spanning Lots 3 &
4 (now merged) was erected with an anticipated hangar construction completion
date of spring 2004. Mr. Waters further provided a briefing of his firm's intent to
launch a nation-wide media campaign and presented updated renderings of
Weatherwise Aviation's vision of the full development potential.
Subsequent to this update, Mr. Waters submitted a handout of issues that his
firm would like dealt with in order to proceed with the next hangar construction.
The first and foremost issue is for. the Commission and the municipalities to
provide his firm withpe.rmission to purchase Lot 6 in order to facilitate the
construction of a second hangar spanning lots 5 & 6. Mr. Waters was reminded
that Lot 6 is not serviced nor is it currently zoned for land sale applications, which
is an involved process with all 'three municipalities participating. It was also
noted that Weatherwise Aviation's endorsed development concept depicted
hangar construction on Lots 3 & 4, followed by construction on Lots 1 & 2 and as
such, the construction timeline requirements established in the Agreement of
Purchase & Sales between Weatherwise Aviation and the member municipalities
were crafted accordingly.
Mr. Waters then concluded his update and was excused from the meeting.
ii) A new Committee to deal with and expedite commercial development issues at
the airport was formulated.
The Property & Commercial Development Committee consists of the following
members: L. Leach, F, Smith, R. Hough, A. Smith and J. Crawford, in
conjunction with staff advisors. It was noted that J. Crawford would confirm his
commitment to the Committee prior to the March Commission meeting.
It was further reviewed that as a result of time lapses between the monthly
Commission meetings, Commission members, as a whole, can be consulted via
telephone or via e/mail for commercial development issues that require
immediate decisions.
G. Fernandes requested that a review of existing authority, of both the Airport
Manager as well as the Executive of the Commission, be reviewed for discussion
at the March Commission meeting.
iii) Overall airport marketing activities, including general awareness and commercial
development, were discussed. M. Beauchesne volunteered to meet with the
Airport Manager to discuss establishing a Committee to address marketing
issues.
MOTION:
Moved by G. Fernandes, seconded by A. Smith.
2004-AC-07 "THAT, the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport Commission
authorize M. Beauchesne to meet with the Airport Manager to
. discuss airport marketing issues."
Carried.
3
It was further directed that any news/press releases regarding t~Pc~~~rcial
development activities, specifically the. Weatherwise Aviation commercial hangar
development on Lots. 3. & 4 should be coordinated with the Lake Simcoe
Regional Airport.
iv) W. McArthur reviewed the construction update of February 5, 2004. Further to
the Township of Oro-Medonte mandated requirement of on-site water storage for
fire suppression at the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport, stemming from the
Weatherwise Aviation site plan control process, W. McArthur reviewed an
engineer's report as prepared by C.C. Tatham & Associates Ltd.. The report
provided an estimated project cost of $57,500.00 (net taxes) in contrast to the
initial Township of Oro-Medonte estimate of $36,000.00, as required for the first
hangar. The report further indicated that despite the Township of Oro-Medonte
offering two dormant concrete water storage. tanks for use, this method is cost
comparable to that of installing new concrete tanks. G. Fernandes requested
that staff provide verification of this issue. Staff was also given direction to
foryvard the report to the Township of Oro-Medonte for final review and
authorization. -
The initial equal three-way cost sharing arrangement between the Township of
Oro-Medonte, the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport Commission and Weatherwise
Aviation was also reviewed. Despite a discrepancy between the Township
provided estimate and the engineer's estimated costs, staff was given direction
to proceed with principles of the agreement and advise Weatherwise Aviation
accordingly. It was then suggested that as the water storage for fire suppression
is a Township of Oro-Medonte mandated requirement per the Township's 'Site
Plan Agreement with Weatherwise Aviation, that Township staff should be
directly involved with advising Weatherwise Aviation of the changes.
MOTION: Moved by F. Smith, seconded by G. Fernandes
2004-AC-08 "THAT, the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport authorize staff to
proceed with the detail design. and solicit quotations for the
construction of on-site water storage for fire suppression
required for one 32,000 sq. ft. hangar, as mandated by the
Township of Oro-Medonte, at an upset limit of $19,000.00 for
the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport Commis.sion's contribution
and that the Executive of the Commission have the authority
to award the project within the upset limit. "
Carried.
W. McArthur provided an overview of the 2004 Capital Works budget and made
specific note the estimated increased costs to design and construct the South
apron expansion. L. Leach commented that the apron expansion project is an
absolute requirement, specifically in consideration that the commercial hangar
construction has comm.enced. W. McArthur made a final note that the airport
capital reserves will be depleted by the end of fiscal 2004 as a result of the
numerous and large. airport capital projects slated for this year as well as
unforeseen increases to projects such as water system upgrades and fire
suppression requirements. Staff was given direction to proceed with the tender
process for the South Apron expansion, as per the airport's 10-year Capital
Works budget.

2004-AC-11 "THAT, the minutes of the February 19, 2004 Commission meeting,
be approved."
Carried. "
2.0 BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES
i) Further to a request stemming from the February Commission meeting, M.
Drumm distributed a letter from the airport's insurance broker, providing
information as to the existing coverage's in place for the Commission members,
as well as optional coverage1s for consideration. The package was received as
information.
ii) M. Drumm updated that a report of the existing authority levels of both staff and
the Executive is still under review and will be presented to the Commission as
soon a$ possible.
3.0 PROPERTIES & COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT
i) A letter addressed to Weatherwise Aviation in response to their recent request to
proceed with immediate developments beyond Lot 5, as opposed to the original
planned developments on Lots 1 and 2, was reviewed. L. Leach suggested that
although the original development concept of the second hangar being
constructed on Lots 1 & 2 should be Weatherwise Aviation's priority, the ultimate
plans include developments beyond Lot 5 and accordingly, the Commission _ \ 1\
should be proactive and ask the three municipal Councils for immediate do-
permission to sell lands beyond Lot 5. R. Hough concurred adding that if in the
foreseeable future the airport was approached by The Weatherwise Group or by
other parties that are interested in developing hangar facilities or other
developments at present, the airport does not have permission to sell any
additional lands. W. McArthur noted that any airport lands beyond the five lots
located in the airport's SW Commercial Development Area are un-serviced.
MOTION: Moved by R. Hough, seconded by L. Leach
2004~AC-12 "THAT, the Lake Simcoe Ragional Airport Commission
request that the three municipalities amend the Lake Simcoe
Regional Airport Agreement to authorize the sale of
additional airport lands for commercial development
purposes."
Carried.
AMENDED: Moved by G. Fernandes,
2004-AC-13 "THAT, the Property & Commercial Development Committee
develop a land strategy identifying all potential costs
associated with developments beyond Lot 5 and report back
to the Commission."
Rescinded.
Original Motion 2004-AC-12 was Carried as moved.
ii) Pete Waters of Weatherwise Aviation was invited to the meeting to provide the
Commission members with an update to his firm's commercial development
activities. Further to the Weatherwise Aviation handout (dated January 22,
2004) as distributed at the February 19, 2004 Commission meeting, S. Trotter
reviewed the short-term goals of the Weatherwise Aviation itinerary with P.
Waters. P. Waters then submitted concerns regarding the communication
structure on certain issues including Zoning and Fire Suppression and that such
delays and unforeseen mandates are causing his firm to have significant project
cost overruns. P. Waters made specific note of the fact that any fire suppression
requirements as mandated by the Township of Oro-Medonte, should have been
disclosed to his firm prior to the transfer of land title and not at the final stages of
Site Plan Approval. S. Trotter noted that P. Waters' concerns are Township
issues and that it is the Township of Oro-Medonte's responsibility to work with
Weatherwise Aviation and facilitate the commercial hangar developments. S.
Trotter added that any further concerns should be reported concurrently to the'
Commission and the Township of Oro-Medonte Commission appointed
representatives. P. Waters then excused from the meeting.
iii) R. Hough suggested that the Property & Commercial Development Committee
meet on April 1, 2004 at 7:00 p.m. to discuss/review options for the broad
sale/development of airport lands beyond the Southwest Commercial
Development Area.
2
iv) Pursuant to the February 19, 2004 Commission meeting, M. Beauchesne
provided the Commission with an update as to his discussions with the Airport
Manager regarding marketing issues. M. Beauchesne noted that a preliminary
review suggests that the airport should consider in engaging in value-added
marketing strategies. Based on the update, the following motion was passed. \ ()J - \ 3
MOTION: Moved by R. Hough, seconded by G. Fernandes
2004-AC-14 "THAT, the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport Commission
authorize M. Beauchesne to meet with marketing firms, at his
discretion, to investigate the costs associated with various
levels of marketing plans, and that M. Beauchesne report
back to the Commission as information becomes available."
Carried.
M. Beauchesne further presented a Weatherwise Aviation advertisement as
placed in the March/April 2004 edition of the Wings Aviation Magazine. The
nationwide magazine advertisement forms part of the Weatherwise Aviation
marketing campaign that P. Waters. spoke of at. the February Commission
meeting. M. Beauchesne indicated that this advertisement is an example of how
enhanced coordination with Weatherwise Aviation could have provided the
airport with an opportunity to conduct marketing. L. Leach concurred adding
that the airport's annual marketing budget is extremely limited preventing the
Commission from having any notable impact or ability t9 participate in such
campaigns. L. Leach further noted that Weatherwise Aviation cannot wait fo~ the
Commission to coordinate/participate in joint marketing plans and that P. Waters
is simply trying to protect his firm's significant investment.
v) W. McArthur reviewed the construction update of March 15, 2004. It was
reviewed that the Township of Oro-Medonte had approved its 2004 budget
including their cost sharing portion of $20,000.00 for the Township of Oro-
Medonte mandated fire suppression system. S. Trotter inquired if Weatherwise
Aviation was apprised of the recent cost increases. M. Drumm deferred the
question to the Township of Oro-Medonte appointed representatives, as this
project is a Township of Oro-Medonte staff issue (stemming from the Site Plan
Agreement), not an airport staff issue. S. Trotter noted the situation as an
example of P. Waters' concerns regarding communication from the Township of
Oro-Medonte and encouraged R. Hough and J. Crawford to work with the
applicable Township personnel(s) to expedite the process. Another example was
noted in that P. Waters had also requested a revision to the Zoning by-law,
specifically the car parking requirements (correspondence dated June 20, 2003),
and that he was advised by an undetermined contact at the Township that his
request was an airport issue, not a Township issue. S. Trotter once again
reminded the Commission as a whole, that airport staff members and the
Commission member's role is to simply provide limited assistance in facilitating
land sales at the airport and any hangar developments. S. Trotter reiterated that
the hangars are being developed On sold land - not leased land and accordingly
all issues related to Zoning, Site Plan Agreements, Building Permit, etc. are
indisputable Township of Oro-Medonte issues/responsibilities under Township of
Oro-Medonte jurisdiction - not airport issues.
W. McArthur continued to review the construction update of March 15, 2004. In
consideration of the Southwest Commercial Area expansion plans, staff was
3
vi)
given direction to proceed with the preparation of a Draft Reference Plan as
