October 30th, Board Chair, (and a quorum of the Board) met with the Transportation Advisory Committee of City to discuss the Library's transportation study. The public library was identified to the committee as a major public building and service destination for people living in Barrie.

The library agreed to assist the City in advertising the new bus stop prior to its implementation. 3. October 28th, the library was presented with a Communities in Bloom award for its roof garden and participation in the program. 4. The Director, Manager of Circulation Services and the Manager of Infonnation Services met several times to provide guidelines to staff in managing challenging patrons. Staff is being involved in developing clearer procedures to better achieve the library's code of conduct policy. A special infonnation workshop involving Dave Taylor of the Barrie Police as well as Mandy Hillyard ofthe Simcoe County alliance to End Homelessness is being planned to help staff. The intent is to empower staff with the means to ensure that the library is a safe place where everyone can enjoy the library in a welcoming and non-judgmental environment. 5. Cindy Pomeroy-White attended Frontier College's Reading Circle Conference in Toronto to share BPL' s success with this program. 6. Ann Andrusyszyn attended the Fall Symposium with guest speaker Lorna Somers of McMaster University. Lorna Somer spoke on planned gift giving. 7.

Anne Dorsey evaluated several health websites in preparation for the Health Online workshop. These sites will be considered for inclusion with the library's webpage. 4.

Robyn Zuck investigated the COOL (Consortium of Online Ontario Libraries) e-book initiative from Southern Ontario Library Services (SOLS). The program allows a client to borrow a book by either downloading or reading it on line. However, the range oftitles available, the cost of the subscription and projected "uptake" by the citizens of Barrie suggest the library should monitor the program and not consider its implementation until at least next year. 7. Robyn Zuck ordered "Pages of the Past," from the archives of the Toronto Star (from 1894) and Canada's Heritage archives of the Globe and Mail (from 1844). This will be a very popular online service for library users. 8. Patricia Roebuck attended the French Book Fair in Toronto, October 17th. 9.

Clients have made many favourable comments about the library's newer system for labeling the spines on Fairy Tale titles. 14. Cathy Bodle conducted a training session October 16th on effective. searching in the Infonnation Barrie Community Database for City Hall Clerk's Office staff. Staff at City Hall answer e-mail inquiries through "cityinfo" and are delighted with the training because use of the Infonnation Barrie database helps provide much of the needed infonnation. Cathy has been asked to provide additional training. This may prove to be an excellent partnership between the library and the City in meeting the infonnation and service needs of citizens. 15. The Director, Shonna Froebel, Business Librarian and Joy Martin, Manager Infonnation Services, attended the Grand opening of Career Development and Communication Centre at City Hall on October 4th.

Adult Services staff met October 16 to discuss program plans for January to March 2003. 23. The drop-in Internet workshops are highly appreciated by clients. Unfortunately, it requires a high ratio of staff to individual. This makes it difficult to offer as many workshops as demand would warrant. 24. Anne Dorsey with Nancy Woods's help, led the Children's Internet Workshop October 16th. 25. The Photography Workshop, offered by Lucy Purdy, completed its last session October 25th. The participants created the attractive display outside the 2nd floor office area. It will remain until December 15th. 26.

October has proven to be one of the busiest months for Interlibrary Loan. Now that the library is able to lend material as well as borrow, requests have increased. The Interlibrary Loan operation has moved from Infonnation Services to Technical services to better reflect the technical nature of the work.

BOARD CHAIR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER ~ . \~~ -.;1 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF CHILDREN'S AND AUDIO VISUAL SERVICES JANUARY 2003 Reference January continues to be a busy month for Children's reference service. Children are working on speeches, poetry and scief1ce projects. The number of reference questions handled by Children's Services staff saw a small increase of four per cent. Computer use also continues to show growth with a thirty-two per cent increase over use in January 2002. . ProQrams A new ses$ion of Preschool Stories, Tales for Twos and Book Babies began at the end of January. Registration is good for all the programs. A number of our programs reached capacity early in the registration period as a number of caregivers signed up groups of children. To accommodate the demand and special requirements of caregivers we have added a fifth story time on Monday mornings for caregivers. The program has been well attended and allows us to plan programs incorporating children with a wide range in their ages. We now have more registration space in Tales for Twos and Preschool Stories. Publicity and Outreach Material displays this month included Science Fair, Poetry, Winter, Valentines Day, and New Books. The January programming brochure was produced. Professional Development lee is taking Human Relations and Supervision and Serials from Mohawk College library Techniques program. Kelly Smith is taking Introduction to library Services and Introduction to literature. Kelly Smith attended a meeting in Barrie sponsored by the Child, Youth and Family Services Coalition of Simcoe County. , " , \()Y\- y. I.am taking a course on Kid Friendly Web Searching through the Ontario library Association which runs through February. The results from this course should provide a good basis for training staff on using and evaluating the internet, as well as on training children on how to search the Internet safely. I attended the Ontario library Association Conference in Toronto from January 29 - January 31. My report is attached. . , \\)~ - 5 MONTHLY REPORT DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION SERVICES JANUARY 2003 COD, the steering committee of the Community Development Corporation, is intending to apply for a grant to implement some of the initiatives discussed during the OSCOR meetings: a portal for community information. This would be achieved with the assistance of Information Orillia. The winter/spring edition of . Discover Ontario's Lake Country was highlighted. Jayne ran two programmes in January. An information session was held by a representative from the Alzheimer's Association and Kirk VanBlarcom from Graot Thornton hosted a session on RRSP's. J attended a follow-up session to the Virtual Reference Library training which I participated in last June. Problems encountered by the volunteer Internet site indexers were discussed and solutions were provided. Most of us just found it difficult to find the time to search out authoritative sites and do the indexing for them. But we all agreed to continue with the project. Please take a look at the site by following the link from the first page of OPL's home page (VRL). Sites are categorized by broad subject headings which drill down to more specific information. . I have provided an outline of my OLA sessions for perusal. REFERENCE QUESTIONS: A welcome 10 percent increase in reference queries was experienced this month, with 2466 questions asked of information staff. Two questions were received via e-mail and 2 were faxed to the library. Increases were experience in the high school, post secondary and reader's advisory categories. USE OF ONLINE PRODUCTS: The periodical database was accessed 228 times and 45 articles were e-mailed to library user's home computers. INTERNET USAGE: Even though we were not providing training from 9 to 11 a.m., as the CAP grant has run out, internet usage was still up by 16 per cent USAGE OF WEB SITE AND FROST PAPERS: Again the web page statistics are not available, but the "cube" did accumulate them for the first 14 days of the month: 15597 hits were experienced during that time period. The Frost Pages were accessed 69 times. \()~-\D PROMOTION: A tour was provided to 8 stude~ts from the YMCA programme for youth. I demonstrated the OPAC and provided a general orientation to the nonfiction collection. VOLUNTEER HOURS: Volunteers logged 230 hours in the month. NEWSPAPER INDEX: 1516 news stories and 234 births, deaths or marriages were indexed from the January editions of the Packet and the Orillia Today. . COMMUNITY OUTREACH: InfQrmation Services staff gathered materials for 14 shut-ins in January. INTERLIBRARY LOANS: Materials borrowed from other libraries increased by 39 per cent to 121 items: loans made to other libraries declined by.3 per cent to 114. GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS: Most of Statistics Canada materials are now available only over the Internet. During January, 52 government documents were added to the collection. " , - . - . . \()~---l Report of the Director of Technical Services January 2003 Administration The annual Ontario Library Association conference was held at the end of January in Toronto, and I attended for 2 days. Most of the sessions I went to. were more practical than inspirational, but a particularly interesting one wason the library of the future. This is exemplified by the Ironwood Branch at Richmond Public Library in BC. More information can be found at their website http://www.vourlibrarv.ca. then chose "About Us", then "Ironwood Branch." I have also attached a report on the sessions I attended at OLA. Circulation Sundays were quite busy in January, with an average of 320 items being borrowed on Sundays during the month. What seems to be happening is that borrowing patterns have shifted, because overall rates remain about 1 the same as last year. In an effort to create more shelf space in fiction, and to make the collection more appealing and accessible, I've begun weeding the collection again, removing unused or underused books, as well as soiled, damaged, and otherwise disreputable ones. We should also be looking at other methods to "merchandise" the collection to increase its use. Technical Processing Gail Matthews was still off on sick leave, but Kelly Smith has been working hard doing acquisitions and receiving. Gail's other work has been spread around through the department, and this has worked so far - but we are expecting a great number of orders in February, so we may have to modify our arrangements somewhat, if Gail doesn't make it back soon. .r \() , - \ ORIUJA PUBliC liBRARY BOARD.

File No. C12010399 Date: 'BACKGROUN~ _ By-law No. 2001-010, "Being a By-law to Appoint a Committee of Adjustment" was enacted on the 17th day of January 2001. Section 2 of the by-law stipulates a composition of five members. Due to the unfortunate passing of one of the appointed members in February of this year, the Committee now has four members. 'ANALYSIS: _ Section 3 of By-law 2001-010 states that" Members of the Committee shall hold office for the term of the Council that appointed them ....." and "Where a member ceases to be a member before the expiration of his or her term, the Council shall appoint another eligible person for the unexpired portion of the term". This appointment would necessitate advertising as well as interviewing candidates for the position on the Committee. Since 2003 is an election year, the remaining term for a new appointee would be relatively short. Therefore, it is staffs recommendation that the Committee membership remain at four members for the remainder ofthe term of Council. \dC\-d- I RECOMMENDATIONS: I 1.

File No. Date: II BACKGROUND: I' The Township of Oro-Medonte received a request from Ms. Odia Dibben and Mr. Danny Carr to use the historical Oro African Church located at Line 3 North and Barrie Road for their wedding ceremony on June 21, 2003. Ms. Dibben has suggested that her guest list is for 70-80 people, and that the only change she would like to make to the church is to add some flower boxes under the windows, which could either be removed with no damage or left behind for the History Committee. The History Committee has no concerns with the use of the church for this venue. 'I ANALYSIS: I' Upon completion of the fire inspection, Paul Eenhoorn, Fire Chief, reports that although the Oro- Medonte Fire and Emergency Services has no objections to the use of the church, the MAXIMUM TOTAL CAPACITY for the interior of the church MUST NOT EXCEED 59 persons. Mr. Ron Kolbe, Director of Building and Planning, has reported no objections to the use of the church. That the History Committee be requested to oversee this event. \~h - d 'I RECOMMENDATION (5): 1- 1. THAT this report be received and adopted. 2. That Ms. Dibben and Mr. Carr be permitted the use of the Oro African Church for a wedding ceremony on June 21,2003. 3. That the total maximum capacity of the church on that date be 59 persons. 4.

(~~l -') Memo To Clerk Marilyn Pennycook From Tim Crawford, Chairperson, Oro-Medonte History Committee Re: Request to Use The African Church, NHS, For A Wedding Sometime ago an Oro family approached me about the possible use of the church for a wedding. They would use the church for about one hour maximum, and I would be in attendance. It is my observation that a wedding would honour the Church and bring a "bit of life" to it. The bride is a long-time Oro resident who walked by the Church as a young girl and was captivated by it. Her parents indicate that they would do the following: (i) replicate the current benches making 7 "new" ones (ii) make flower boxes for the windows, which would not be nailed on, but would be left in place should we determine that they add to the appearance of the church (iii) clean the church. There might be a "contract" of some type that the Township uses when one of its facilities is used for non-Township activities. It might deal with liability. RECOMMENDATION that approval be given for a wedding this spring in the Oro African Church, NHS, on the condition that one of the members of the history committee be in attendance, to open the building, lock it up afterward and assure that there is no smoking in or near the Church. If there is a fee which usually is involved in making Township venues available for non- Township activities, we recommend that the fee be waived because the particular activity is a religious service.

I would consider this a great privilege and honour. I met with Tim Crawford at the church in July of 2002, He assured me that I need not worry and I received the go ahead to plan my wedding. Tim has recently informed me that he just put in a request on my behalf to the township for use of the church, but that it will still have to go to council. The ceremony will be short with a small grou of est friends and family. We understand the capacity of the church and respect that with a gue 1st of 70-80 people. ant for the church to remain as close to original as possible There will be no Tacky frill -r usic or bows and ribbons. I discussed with Mr. Crawford the possibility of constructing somEHeplica benches out of barn board for extra seating, and that was fine with him, other than that we would love to have flower boxes under the windows which could be removed without damage to the church or left at the request of the historical society. This has been my wish since I was first in the church as a girl guide. I lived around the corner from the church all my life and I feel so strongly for the church that I would never want to see it harmed or changed in any way. Tim Crawford seemed thrilled with the idea of holding such a special occasion at this Historic site. Thank-you for your consideration, looking forward to your response, Odia Dibben, Danny Carr, Family, and Friends. e~ rtlf\J ( UJ~J1, .~ 2/18/2003 \L\~ - \ Monday, February 24, 2003 BY ELECTRONIC MAIL ". To: Mayor and Members of Council, Township of Oro-Medonte Re: Shanty Bay Boat Ramp At the outset, we wish to thank you for the opportunity to present our deputation at the recent 'Committee ofthe Whole' meeting of the Township ofOro-Medonte on February 12,2003. This letter seeks, first, to confinn our understanding of the outcome of that meeting: namely, that Council has decided to withdraw its approval of the installation ofa new utility ramp by Jones Construction at the Line 2 Shanty Bay boat launch. We are of the view that by reaching this decision you have made an important first step in addressing some of our concerns about boat ramp usage in Shanty Bay. However, we think there are still other important issues that need prompt attention. The second purpose of this letter is to identify what those issues are and how you can deal with them. Our group is composed of neighbours who live in the vicinity of the ramp and individuals who use the ramp for recreational purposes. Weare representatives of the overwhelmingly vast majority of the Shanty Bay community who are strongly opposed to the use of the boat ramp for commercial activity: this includes the loading/unloading of equipment and material by barges and the parking of these barges at the ramp or public dock. While your decision to stop the construction of a utility ramp is a sign that you are not encouraging such activity, the unfortunate reality is that such usage can still take place on the existing docklboat ramp. As we set out in our deputation, this has serious implications in tenns of safety, congestion, and pollution. We strongly urge you to pass appropriate by-laws: .,. ..... . to disallow commercial use of the dock and boat ramp; and . \ LlCA ,- ~ 2 . to place truck restrictions from Bay Street down to the bottom of Line 2. . .. In addition to the above, our group would like to make one other comment. At the February 12 meeting, Council acknowledged that Jones Construction built a utility ramp in Hawkestone without appropriate approval. We assert that Council should not continue to pennit these types of transgressions. Furthennore, we assert that it is not Council's responsibility to resolve the logistical problems of a private business (i.e., detennining a location from which Jones Construction could operate). It would be inappropriate of Council to prefer one commercial enterprise over others (for example, by providing public land for the use of one business). Finally, it is essential that Council adhere to the township's Official Plan. Our reading of that Plan suggests that the Oro- Medonte waterfront is a precious commodity that needs to be protected, not promoted as 'open for business'. The Village of Shanty Bay is a residential and recreational community. The presence of barges at the Line 2 dock is an industrial and commercial use that is incompatible with our Official Plan designation as a rural settlement area. Our group is prepared, should Council ignore the legitimate concerns noted in this letter, to hire legal counsel in an attempt to force Council to abide by that Official Plan. We sincerely hope that matters do not necessitate us taking such a step. We respectfully request that our group be kept infonned of any new developments and any recommendations by Superintendent of Works Mr. Jerry Ball pertaining to the Shanty Bay boat launch. We would also like to make appropriate submissions on the subject of restrictions for the launch area - both in tenns of its usage, and in relation to the truck traffic pennitted nearby. .. We look forward to working in partnership with you to resolve these issues. We view them as high priority concerns, and it is our expectation that you will be moving forward quickly in this . regard.

LOTS 26 TO 28, CON.S TOWNSHIP OF ORO-MEDONTE (ORO) Thank you for circulating Notice of the Public Meeting to be held jointly by the County of Simcoe and the Township of Oro-Medonte on March 3, 2003. The applicants are proposing to develop an adult lifestyle community of 298 single detached and semi- detached residential units and a 28-hole golf course on the subject property. Planning staff will not be in a position to offer formal comments on the development proposal until more detail is provided including a phasing schedule, type and size of homes to be constructed, as well as marketing program. As you are aware, planning staff have some reservations with respect to adult lifestyle/retirement communities and their eventual impact upon existing schools. In this case elementary pupils residing in this area of the municipality attend Guthrie Public School and Eastview Secondary School. The Township's Official Plan currently contains policies that permit the development of an Adult Lifestyle Community under certain conditions. The approval of a Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) is required and this plan must contain a Functional Servicing Report, Traffic Study, Phasing Study, Concept Plan, Urban Design Guidelines, and a Hydrogeological Report. Planning staff request that the Phasing Study contain provisions for the ongoing monitoring of the development by both Council and .;;1 '... lLfb -) the school boards to ensure that there is not an unanticipated impact upon school facilities. In addition, planning staff request that the following warning clause be inserted into the subdivision agreement: " Purchasers, renters, lessees are warned that there are no schools planned within this subdivision, or within walking distance of it and that pupils may be accommodated in temporary facilities and/or be directed to facilities outside of the area. " We look forward to receiving additional details on the proposed amendments as soon as they are available.

It is our understanding that this project plans to encompass 274.7 acres with a planned 306 total residential units with an additional 80 retirement units. This project is proposed for the land between the 4th Line and 5th Line, south ofthe Ridge Rd. and potentially extending to Lake Simcoe. The following questions and comments express our concerns regarding this project. 1. Will this be an organically managed golf course? It is our understanding that two organically managed golf courses exist in Ontario. 2. Will this be a tradtionally managed golf course requiring the use of commercially produced pesticides? If so, we are EXTREMELY concerned!!!!!! 3. The land in question has a creek and is low lying. Is there a dominant clay content to this land? If so, does this not create a situation of pesticide run off into Lake Simcoe? What are the potential effects on people, wildlife and fish? 4. It is our understanding that some golf courses spray pesticides on a daily basis. Is this what our community will be looking forward to? 5. It is our understanding that once ground water is contaminated it cannot be "cleaned up". As a community ,do we wish to risk this? 6. What will the water demands of this development be and how will they be met? ')/,)hI,)OO~ Propos~d Golf Course Page 2 of2 ~ ..

We anticipate Oro-Medonte Council to address our questions with a response in writing at their earliest convemence. We would like to offer a suggestion for the future posting of signs by the Township when striving to inform as many residents as possible about a meeting such as this one. We suggest that the sign be posted at 90 degrees to the road,much like Real Estate signs. This would make them more visible and easier to read while driving. Thank you for this opportunity.

The Mayor and Council Township of Oro Medonte PO box 100 Oro OntLoL2XO Feb 24 2003 Respectful1y , The Mayor and council I am writing to express my concern about the proposed amendment to the official plan which would: "redesignate lands described as Concession 5, Part of Lots 26 to 28, (approx. 106 acres in Oro Township), to permit the construction of an ADULT LIFESTYLE COMMUNITY with 298 single detached and semi-detached residential units and an 18-hole golf course. The COUNTY would redesignate approx. 84 acres of land from GREENLANDS to Rural and Agricultural. The TOWNSHIP would redesignate the lands from RURAL, OPEN SPACE and ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 2 OVERLAY to Adult Lifestyle Community. The term Adult Lifestyle Community is a planning term which enables developers to build properties which masquerade as part time non-residential properties which do not provide a tax burden to the township but which in fact subsequently evolve through usage into normal residential developments. I am also concerned about the placement of a golf course on the Oro Moraine which is such an important natural feature for our water supply. Golf courses are notoriously heavy users of chemical pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. They look like harmless natural developments but are not . We have an official plan for a reason. These alterations to the official plan seem to fly in the face of council's espoused commitment to an environment first policy. Is there indeed a real commitment to the environment on the part of council? yo~rs sincerely . \ Jon Oelrichs Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board \~b \v) - j f 46 Alliance Blvd..
